With potentially costly legal claims by dismissed employees soaring, CFOs should make sure job-elimination plans are airtight.
Kate Plourd, CFO.com | US
January 22, 2009
Nothing in life is free. While companies are reducing head count to save money as the economy sinks, they should be prepared for the possibility of legal actions by laid-off workers, and for the accompanying costs.
The number of such actions is rising in tandem with the pace of job eliminations. "These cases are booming," says Ted Olsen, an employer defense attorney with Sherman & Howard. Agrees Fern Singer of Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, "We're seeing a major spike that doesn't appear will abate anytime soon."
The main categories of lawsuits are those in which employees claim their dismissal was discriminatory, usually based on age, and those pertaining to the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, which requires 60 days' advance notice for mass layoffs and plant closings.
Attorneys advise that cautious planning when making layoffs will help avoid a trip to court. "When you do a layoff of any size, take enough time to make sure it's done right," says Singer.
CFOs may not be directly involved in executing layoff plans, but the risk of a sizable legal judgment gives them plenty of reason to satisfy themselves that a plan is legally sound.
The first step should be creating a business plan that explains the need for the layoffs, what facilities or businesses will be affected, the number of positions affected, when the layoffs will occur, and how they will be announced, before any actions are taken. "There have certainly been some times where I've had to tell management to either come up with a more defendable reason for the layoff or rethink the decision," says Olsen.
Juries often side with employees when the employer doesn't have adequate documentation of those things. "Everyone is in such a crisis mode when they're involved in workforce reductions that things they may think are obvious to the world are not so obvious," observes Olsen.
The potential for discrimination lawsuits makes it essential that employers create an objective selection process for deciding which employees to let go. If 25 workers are dismissed and 20 of them, say, are over age 50, the chances of a lawsuit rise dramatically.
Lawyers suggest that executives create a list of criteria for evaluating employees, which may include years of service, experience in the field, job performance, and disciplinary history. A weighting should be assigned to each criterion, and each employee should receive a numerical rating in each category, advises Olsen.
It may prove difficult to avoid exceptions to the process. For example, a job-performance measure may take into account employees' past three annual reviews, but some people will have been hired more recently. Diligently document and explain in detail any reason for breaking from the official process, Olsen urges.
But even a thoroughly objective selection process, while defensible in court, is no guarantee a lawsuit won't be filed. As a further safeguard, Singer says, companies should conduct an impact analysis of how layoff decisions will affect the makeup of each protected class of employees. If a protected group is disproportionately affected, the company may want to alter the plan.
Further, companies should consider hiring a statistician to evaluate the layoff selection criteria and ensure that none of them is itself discriminatory.
A company's legal concerns don't end with the selection process. Executives who deliver the bad news must tread carefully with their word choices so as not to across as apologetic or sugar-coat the real reason the employee is being dismissed.
"By saying something like, 'This isn't your fault, this is our fault,' you may be falling on your own sword," says Olsen. The employee easily could use such a statement against the company in court.
Meanwhile, labor lawyers expect to see a continuing rise in lawsuits related to the WARN Act as more mass layoffs are implemented. While most employers are familiar with federal WARN requirements, many state and local municipalities have more stringent notice requirements, according to Singer. "Companies must check with their local entities about the requirements well ahead of making layoffs," she says.
Lawyers also report that laid-off workers increasingly are filing suits relating to the Family Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and wage and overtime disputes. Many people never would have asserted these claim had they not been let go, according to attorney Steven Adler of Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard.
Adler adds that he also is watching for a rise in whistleblower cases from former employees. "As more and more people get terminated, there's going to be more and more litigation," he says.

I'm gonna do status notification system today for mono / pfsense. I don't
really want to do it full system release yet. But here is what I think to
release to public. It will work as a service that is intended for large
Mono or pfSense = NAS
1) NAS connects to our server
2) Server authenticates the NAS
3) Server updates NAS and shows as it is online and operational
4) Server Publish status on the web (either public or private access)
5) If Geo info provided server builds network map to show functionality
6) Server builds on demand RSS
Part one is mod for NAS everything else is a server side. Because everything
else is a server side I rather run my server available for public and
provide free service for everyone.
Please tell me your opinion on this. Do you think I should build this
project? I have most of the script already I just need to know if community
really wants it or should I keep it private? Also will it be integrated in
actually releases of m0n0 and pfSense.

Spring Training Report #2: Gameday
Major League Games Begin Today
By Steven Grandy / Northwest Arkansas Naturals | February 22, 2013 6:34 AM ET
SPRINGDALE, AR - The Kansas City Royals begin their 2013 Cactus League schedule this afternoon against the Texas Rangers in Surprise, AZ. Former Natural Will Smith is the starter for the Royals as manager Ned Yost has decided to hold the top of his rotation until next week. Smith, a member of the 2011 Naturals, is in a multiple pitcher battle for the final spot in the starting rotation. According to published reports, Smith is scheduled to pitch the first two innings and be followed by a quartet of former Naturals: Yordano Ventura, Justin Marks, Sugar Ray Marimon and Michael Mariot. Nate Adcock and Blaine Boyer were also scheduled to pitch in today's Spring Training lidlifter.
Friday's game is the first of 36 scheduled Spring Training games for the Royals. Of the 36 games, the Royals will play the Rangers and American League Central rival Cleveland Indians four times, the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cincinnati Reds, Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Dodgers three times and twice against the Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
The Royals held two intrasquad scrimmages on Tuesday and Wednesday with former Naturals having impressive performances. In Tuesday's USA vs. World game, former Naturals catcher Salvador Perez hit a home run while 2012 Naturals Player of the Year Christian Colon had two singles and two RBI. Cheslor Cuthbert, the Royals No. 9 prospect, hit a two-run home run in the game. Cuthbert spent 2012 with Advanced-A Wilmington and could start the season with the Naturals. Former Naturals Eric Hosmer and Alex Gordon each had a double for the US team.
After the teams played to a 5-5 draw on Tuesday, former Natural David Lough hit a home run to give the US team a 1-0 victory on Wednesday. Former Naturals Aaron Crow and Louis Coleman each pitched perfect innings in the five-inning affair, while 2012 Natural Sharlon Schoop hit a double.
Naturals Notes
Transactions: The Royals signed 12 players to major league contracts for the 2013 season on Wednesday, avoiding arbitration. Among those signed were former Naturals Lorenzo Cain, Danny Duffy, Johnny Giavotella, Kelvin Herrera, Greg Holland, Eric Hosmer, John Lamb, David Lough, Mike Moustaskas and Will Smith. Recently acquired Elliot Johnson and relief pitcher Tim Collins also signed contracts.
Cain Suffers Mild Injury: Former Naturals outfielder Lorenzo Cain was held out of batting practice this week due to a strained hand and will miss today's opening game.
TV Time: Six Royals games will be televised this spring. MLB Network will have tape-delayed coverage of the March 16th (Cubs), 18th (Rangers), 24th (White Sox) and 27th (Cubs) games as well as live coverage on March 22nd (Angels). FOX Sports Kansas City will air Royals home games live on March 25th (Dodgers) and 27th (Cubs)

Legcuffs are physical restraints used on the ankles of a person to allow walking only with a restricted stride and to prevent running and effective physical resistance.[1]
Frequently used alternative terms are leg cuffs, (leg/ankle) shackles, footcuffs, fetters[2] or leg irons. The term "fetter" shares a root with the word "foot".
With respect to humans, shackles are typically used on prisoners and slaves. Leg shackles also are used for chain gangs to keep them together.[3]
Metaphorically, a fetter may be anything that restricts or restrains in any way, hence the word "unfettered".
The earliest fetters found in archaeological excavations date from the prehistoric age and are mostly of the puzzle lock type[clarification needed]. Fetters are also referenced in ancient times in the Bible (2 Samuel 3:34,Job 36:13,Psalm 149:8)
Roman times already see a variety of restraint types. Some early versions of cup lock shackles can already be found. These were widely used in medieval times but their use declined when mass production made the manufacture of locks built into restraints affordable.
Simple fetter types continue to be used like puzzle lock shackles as the typical slave iron or irons riveted shut for prisoners being transported to overseas prison camps.
The first built-in locks often were of a simple screw-type but soon developed into the "Darby" type. In Europe these continued to be used into the middle of the 20th century, whereas in the U.S. from the late 19th century onwards many new designs were invented and produced before handcuffs and leg irons of the Peerless type became the standard several decades ago.
Controversial use[edit]
In comparison to handcuffs the wearing of leg irons may be found less restrictive. Thus the prison authorities in several countries deem their long-term use acceptable. In order to avoid condoning this disputed practice, the countries of the European Union have banned exporting leg irons into non-EU countries.[4][5] The countries that continue to make prisoners wear fetters long term now tend to resort to manufacturing their own restraints.

In this article, let's evaluate the investment merits of Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE:ETP), as well as its distribution.
Structure of the Oil And Gas Pipeline Industry
Firms in the oil and gas pipeline industry own or operate thousands of miles of pipelines and terminals - assets that are nearly impossible/uneconomical to replicate. Most companies act as a toll road and receive a fee for transporting natural gas, crude oil and other refined products (and generally avoid commodity price risk). Though there is much to like, most constituents operate as master limited partnerships and pay out hefty distributions that can stretch their balance sheets. Additional unit issuance (dilution) has become common, and capital-market dependence is a key risk.
Energy Transfer Partners' Investment Considerations
Energy Transfer Partners' Return on Invested Capital
Energy Transfer Partners' Distribution
Energy Transfer Partners' yield is excellent, offering roughly a 7.5% annual payout at recent price levels. We prefer yields above 3% and don't include firms with yields below 2% in our dividend growth portfolio. So Energy Transfer Partners fits the bill thus far.
We think the safety of Energy Transfer Partners' distribution is good. We measure the safety of the distribution in a unique but very straightforward fashion. As many know, earnings can fluctuate in any given year, so using the payout ratio in any given year has some limitations. Plus, companies can often encounter unforeseen charges, which makes earnings an even less-than-predictable measure of the safety of the dividend/distribution in any given year. We know that companies won't cut the dividend just because earnings have declined or they had a restructuring charge that put them in the red for the quarter (year). As such, we think that assessing the cash flows of a business allows us to determine whether it has the capacity to continue paying these cash outlays well into the future.
That has led us to develop the forward-looking Valuentum Dividend Cushion™. The measure is a ratio that sums the existing cash a company has on hand plus its expected future free cash flows over the next five years and divides that sum by future expected dividends/distributions over the same time period. We make some adjustments for pipeline MLPs (namely adding back cash from future equity issuance to the numerator), but the interpretation is the same. Basically, if the score is above 1, the company has the capacity to pay out its expected future dividends. As income investors, however, we'd like to see a score much larger than 1 for a couple of reasons: 1) the higher the ratio, the more "cushion" the company has against unexpected earnings shortfalls, and 2) the higher the ratio, the greater capacity a dividend-payer has in boosting the dividend in the future. For Energy Transfer Partners, this score is 2.5, revealing that on its current path the firm can cover its future distribution with net cash on hand and future free cash flow roughly two and a half times.
Now on to the potential growth of Energy Transfer Partners' distribution. As we mentioned above, we think the larger the "cushion" the larger capacity it has to raise the dividend. However, such dividend growth analysis is not complete until after considering management's willingness to increase the dividend. To do so, we evaluate the company's historical dividend track record. If there have been no dividend cuts in 10 years, the company has a nice growth rate, and a nice dividend cushion, its future potential dividend growth would be excellent, which is not the case for Energy Transfer Partners. We have them rated as having good growth potential, but only due to the fact that growth hasn't occurred recently. We think the future is brighter. In fact, as the image above shows, we think Energy Transfer Partners' distribution growth will accelerate.
And because capital preservation is also an important consideration, we assess the risk associated with the potential for capital loss (offering investors a complete picture). In Energy Transfer Partners' case, we currently think the shares are fairly valued, so the risk of capital loss is medium. If we thought the shares were undervalued, the risk of capital loss would be low. All things considered, we like the potential growth and safety of Energy Transfer Partners' distribution. We include it in our Dividend Growth portfolio.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Additional disclosure: ETP is included in our Dividend Growth portfolio.

Linkin Park Release New Video – Wastelands
Linkin Park, in my opinion, is one of modern rock's best bands. There are only a handful of bands in which I can say I own EVERY one of their albums, but Linkin Park is one of those bands. Even though their last album let me down, I was excited to hear that they released a new video online yesterday. My understanding is that even though the video is just lyrics, it's not a "lyric video," but actually the official video. Serious Linkin Park fans may know the song "Hands Held High" from their Minutes to Midnight album… For some reason the song reminds me of that. Check it out for yourself!

Italian bike-maker Wilier is fast making a name for itself among roadies thanks to its signature mix of superb frames and excellent specs.
The Mirage is the cheaper of its two Mortirolo models, but still manages to combine a stunning carbon frame-and-forks combo with a fully equipped component set for under £1,300. It's well ahead of its rivals for value, and often a nose ahead in terms of performance too.
Superb frame
The Mirage's frame is undeniably the star. In matt white it doesn't immediately scream 'hi-tech dream machine', but that just improves its chances of still being locked outside the pub when you've finished your pint.
Despite its subtle looks, it's stiff, solid and light on the road, with just enough zing to not beat you up on long journeys – particularly ones over Britain's endemic potholes and bumps.
The bike is tailored towards the more aggressive rider, as it responds instantly to a kick of power. But geometry and handling are neutral enough to ensure it won't just appeal to sprinters.
Components with compromise
The only downside? Some components are at the cheaper end of brilliant to keep the price down. For £250 more the Mortirolo Veloce is arguably more of a bargain, but with a slightly more lump-in-the-throat ticket.
The Mirage's gearing needed a little fiddling, the wheels are sturdy but not featherlight, and the bars were fairly weighty for the bike.
Although these will certainly be targets for upgrade as items wear out, none of them are anywhere near terrible. Indeed, if you want a scarily fast bike that you can ride all day, and at a price that's right, you've just found it.

Bella Says: No Means No For Now
I was watching my tenacious basset hound, Bella, today. She doesn't take no for an answer. Then I started thinking about how many direct sales consultants could learn a lesson or two from Long Dog.
For example, take the word No. Not too many of us like to be told no when there is something we want. This afternoon Bella wanted to get up on my favorite mid-century Danish Modern chair. I told her No. Then in a more "This time I mean it" voice, I told her no again.
She thought better of the idea and walked away looking somewhat defeated. A short while later I returned to the living room to see Bella Bella Short and Swella sitting in The Chair. "Get Down, NOW!" I tried to utter in a low but commanding voice. She slowly lifted her droopy eyes, looked at me and eventually got down.
So is this dog stupid? On the contrary. She knows what she wants and she's not going to let a little No get in her way. Now it's a battle of wills. I don't want her up on the furniture and she wants to be up there. Of course I wear the pants in this house and she will have to listen to me, but that is not to say she won't keep trying.

How to Approach Strangers
Rejection stinks. Yet rejection is a natural part of of sales. You have to take the No's so you can get to the Yes's. Once you stop taking it personally and realize they're not saying No to you – they're saying No to your product or service …. for now, then you'll be able to comfortably approach strangers without fear of rejection. You'll soon realize "Some will. Some won't. So what. Someone's waiting."
To get your feet wet and become more comfortable talking to strangers, our resident candle expert, Waxwell Smart, offers a Top Secret Tip on approaching strangers. No matter what your product or service, you'll be able to use this TST (Top Secret Tip):

Do You Ever Clock Out From Direct Sales?
If you're a direct seller, are you always on the clock? Or as Kenny Rogers says, is it important to "know when to hold "˜em, know when to fold "˜em, know when to walk away "¦?" I would agree that there are opportunities literally everywhere to introduce your products or business opportunity to someone. Yet are there times that even if an opportunity presents itself, you should not take it?
For example, if you're in the hospital sitting with a loved one who is ill, should you prospect the medical staff? Would it matter if the loved one was in Intensive Care or merely recovering from a common procedure?
If you learned someone just lost a pet, would it be acceptable to show a brief moment of sympathy and then approach the subject of your direct selling opportunity? Or should business be left to a separate conversation, at a more opportune time?
I am in a unique position to hear about hundreds of situations that happen each day in the direct selling world. All of my examples given have come from actual situations – sanitized to protect the innocent. I know what I consider acceptable, but I'd like to hear how you feel about golden opportunities for direct sellers.
Take "˜em if you get "˜em? Or not all opportunities need to be acted upon? Weigh in on this discussion.


text: Jake - Unregistered July 09, 2011 1:24 AM Why is it some people can just never give credit where it's due? Is the Ducati a good bike? Of course it is but it's not absolutely better then everything else. If you took Checa away then there first Ducati would be 12th. Last year the factory Ducati couldn't find their way out of a paper bag. Checa and his team have simply done a better and more consistent job then everyone else. Last year it was Max and Aprilia. Also in regards to this MotoGP/Prototype bike in WSBK that is simply BS. It is nothing more then what factories use to do in the past and that was build a race bike first and street second. Again Aprilia got it right last year and deserved their title just like Ducati, Yamaha and Honda before them 7 agree 0 disagree

AUBURN, Ala. -
Senior Cowgirl swimmer Kelsey Conci began racing at the NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships on Thursday, in Auburn, Ala. Conci began competition with the 50-yard freestyle tying for 31st with a time of 22.61.
"Kelsey did her best today," Wyoming head coach Tom Johnson said. "This is a very fast event and her time just was not fast enough to get her back to the finals tonight. We are ready to go out and make some noise in the 100 back tomorrow."
Conci finished the morning's preliminaries with a time of 22.61 tying her for 31st place which was not high enough to earn her a spot in the evening's finals. She will continue racing at the NCAA Championships in the 100 backstroke on Friday. She has the 11th fastest 100 backstroke time in the nation and will be looking to defend her Honorable Mention All-America honors from a season ago.
Friday's preliminaries will begin at 10 a.m. MT, with the finals beginning at 6 p.m. MT.

Sheilagh Kremers' Dexter bull calf, Fern, was found to have reacted to tests for the disease at her East Ogwell farm near Newton Abbot.
After she refused to let the calf be killed, Defra admitted mistakes were made in how the test was carried out.
Fern has had a new TB test, but still faces the prospect of slaughter if the test proves positive on Thursday.
Farm confrontation
Ms Kremers said: "I have done everything I can. I am still convinced it will be clear."
But she said she would comply with the new outcome.
She watched as needles were sterilised before Fern was given bovine and avian antigens by the State Veterinary Service at the farm on Monday.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs had insisted it was fine, and that said that Fern should be killed.
Mrs Kremers refused and there was a confrontation at the gates to her farm when she would not let officials in.
Last week, Defra minister and Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw said not all the instructions issued by the State Veterinary Service were followed and that information concerning the test at Mrs Kremer's farm had led to a review of the case.

Ambient black metal is a style that combines elements of black metal and ambient music. The electric guitar and/or synthesizer plays simple, ambient-based riffs through a black metal style, often accompanied by blasting drums and shrieking vocals.
The Norwegian artist Varg Vikernes with his project Burzum is considered a pioneer of ambient black metal, having created and influenced much work in the ambient black metal field; this is particularly evident on the album "Filosofem".
Other prominent artists who have performed in this style include Velvet Cacoon, Xasthur, Leviathan (US), Paysage d'Hiver, Blut aus Nord, and Striborg.

Nothing nonsensical about centuries later a male beast, the last of his kind (which is a fact the game hammers into your skull pretty early on), running through a field with his children? So, what? There was a female hiding somewhere? He asexually reproduced?
I hold the belief that Cloud didn't arrive in Hojo's lab in time, and Hojo's little experiment between Aeris/th and Red XIII had some unseen minutes there. Before her untimely demise, the offspring were released and in a Seahorse/Kangaroo type setup, the young were latched onto a hidden pouch on Red XIII until they came to full size.
Various images that can be found on the internet seem to support this theory.

EpitheliumEpithelial cells
The term "epithelium" refers to layers of cells that line hollow organs and glands. It alsois those that make up the outer surface of the body.
Epithelial cells help to protect or enclose organs. Most produce mucus or other secretions.
Certain types of epithelial cells have tiny hairs called cilia, which help remove foreign substances.
Epithelial cells are arranged in single or multiple layers, depending on the organ and location.

"Can Israel survive? Does it deserve to?" Could any two questions be more important today to the Jewish community or more pertinent to the lives of committed Jews especially during this period of spiritual introspection? They are broached in the brief prelude to Daniel Gordis' new, compelling book, Saving Israel, whose title probably answers at least one of the queries he poses. The work, recently published by Wiley, is subtitled How the Jewish People Can Win a War That May Never End.
Gordis is perhaps known to many close readers of the Jewish press as one of today's most cogent opinion writers, an essayist who, not surprisingly, asks all the right questions, and manages to answer them in the least conventional manner. He is currently senior vice president and a senior fellow at the Shalem Center in Jerusalem, a columnist for The Jerusalem Post and the author of several other provocative titles, among them If a Place Can Make You Cry — not surprisingly again — about Israel and why Gordis and his family decided to make aliyah.
The author's two main questions in this new work lead him to others that he deems even more urgently in need of answering: What has Israel done for the Jewish people? How has Israel changed Jewish life not only inside the Jewish state, but around the world? Do the Jews really need a state? And if they do, what must they do to save it?
Writes Gordon: "Not everyone will be comfortable with what is discussed or suggested in these pages. But as is true with all of life's difficult questions, there is no avoiding them. With matters concerning Israel as with life in general, we can retreat, refusing to raise the painful issues. Or we can choose to think, to struggle, and to grow. This book opts for the latter choice, the pain that that choice sometimes entails notwithstanding. It does so not because there is joy in recognizing the depths of the challenges that Israel faces. Rather, we raise these issues in the hope that, convinced once again of Israel's necessity, Zionists will find the strength to stride forth with courage and vision, leading Israel to a future that is even more inspiring than its past has already been."
'Possibility and Meaning'
Like other Zionist thinkers, Gordis uses the first part of his book to discuss the centrality of the Jewish state, and its necessity in Jewish life everywhere and how the whole nature of sovereignty was — and continues to be — about a complete alteration of Jewish life from what it was in pre-state, exilic times.
From there, he looks at a number of factors that threaten the life of the state, many of which cannot be traced to Israel's enemies. Gordis' concluding chapters detail certain steps that Israelis must take in order to ensure the continuation of sovereignty.
Several of Gordis' chapter headings give you the nature of what he thinks is ailing Israel. One is called "The Withering of Zionist Passion," while the very next is titled "More Than Just a Hebrew-Speaking America."
In the first of these two cited chapters, the author writes: "One of the fundamental lessons of the history of Zionism is that of the power of ideas. What was once but an idea is now, despite all its travails, a thriving country. The story of Zionism, the story of the power of an idea to move a people, is one of the most dramatic narratives in the history of humanity. As the historian Barbara Tuchman has noted, of all the peoples of the Western world from 3,000 years ago, it is only the Jews who live in the same place, speak the same language, and practice the same religion. One hundred years ago that claim would not have been true. It is true today because of the revolution called Zionism, a revolution whose most important fuel was the power of an idea."
As Gordis notes at various points in the work, and once again at its conclusion, the true purpose of the Jewish state was a transformation of the Jews, not just as a people, but individually as well. In many ways this happened — but not without a measure of sadness. The ingathering of the Jews, while creating a dynamic and heterogeneous society, has also caused many social problems that continue to go unaddressed, among them being poverty, discrimination, racism and crime of all sorts. Israeli schools no longer have their high ranking and have become increasingly segregated, adds the author; moreover, too many children in Israel live below the poverty line, while "yuppy" suburbs continue to spring up all around Tel Aviv.
As the writer makes clear, if Israel were merely a state, the high costs it has exacted among Israelis and the Jewish people as a whole would not be justifiable. But Gordis' main point is that Israel is not a nation like any other. "It breathed life into the Jewish people at precisely the moment when the Jews might have given up," he states. "It gives possibility and meaning to a Jewish future. It enables the Jews to reenter the stage of history."
And that's why the calls for its demise must be resisted.
"For what is at stake is not just the Jewish state but the Jewish people as well. Statehood has revitalized the Jewish people, but the Jews are very unlikely to get another state should this one fail. Whether the calls are for the outright destruction of Israel, or for the gradual erosion of Jewish sovereignty through ideas like a shared binational state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, the result would be the same. Jewish life as we know it would be lost. The regained optimism, vitality, and confidence of the Jewish world would disappear, probably within a generation.
"Israel's enemies understand that. It is time that the Jews did, too."

BEN GURION AIRPORT (Sep. 27)
Jacobo Timerman, former editor and publisher of the Buenos Aires daily, La Opinion, arrived here today 48 hours after the Argentine regime had released him after 29 months of prison and house arrest. He was immediately made a citizen and given on Israeli identity card and a new immigrant's card.
" I am proud to be a Jew," Timerman said He said the great change in Jewish life now is that "Israel is the homeland of the Jews. It is important for me to show to the world that a Jew who was deported from a certain country in the world does not have to become a refugee any more Forty eight hours after I was expelled From Argentina I have received my Israeli citizenship and I feel at home."
Timerman was taken from his Buenos Aires apartment, where he had been under house arrest, Monday night and put on board a flight for Rome with a visa to Israel. Timerman, who had been ordered released by the Argentine Supreme Court, was also stripped of his Argentine citizenship.
Timerman was met at the airport by a large group of relatives, including his wife Rische and a son Javier, friends from Argentina, representatives of the Israel Journalists Association, the World Federation of Jewish Journalists, the Association of Latin Americans in Israel, Jewish Agency and Ministry of Absorption officials.
Looking tired but happy, Timerman refused to discuss the situation of Jews in Argentina or the Argentine situation in general. He told reporters that until he was on a plane he did not know he and been released. He said when he was taken from his apartment he thought he was about to be put in a prison again.
Timerman said that his immediate plan is to rest after his long ordeal in Argentina He thanked the Israeli government, the Carter Administration and members of Congress, as well as Jewish international organizations that exerted every possible effort to have him released.

Office Fit Out Services To Create An Inspired Workspace
Choosing an office fit out contractor for your new premises or for a refurbishment of your current office is a very important decision and is something that should not be rushed in to.
Here at aci™ we offer our clients the complete turn key fit out service enabling them to be involved as much or as little with the project as they feel comfortable with.
The aci™ service starts with detailed discussions and consultations about your requirements and end with you turning the key on your new facility. We work with companies and carry out fit outs across the UK from our base in Nottingham.
Our Steps for an Office Fit Out
In between are several steps, which are highlighted below:
- Consultation and design meetings
- Building Regulation consultation
- Space planning
- Concept drawings (also issued to landlords if required)
- Finishes and fittings consultations
- Working drawings
- FIXED PRICE quotation
- Detailed build program discussed
- Day to day co-ordination of your project
- Weekly update meetings
- Delivery to the completion date
- Final review
Of course in different situations the above changes to suit the requirements but as a general rule of thumb this is how we will work with you.
What else is included in my office fit out?
Remember we do not charge for consultations, detailed surveys, design service or CAD plans. Call us today on 0115 939 7572 to arrange a free consultation.
We're able to provide the complete service, including helping you to maximise your space by using office partition walls (including glass office partitions) and installing Mezzanine floors.
We have fit out teams located across the UK to enable us to offer a nationwide service — from Newcastle and Manchester in the North, to Nottingham, Derby and Leicester in The Midlands and London in the South.
Just some of the areas we cover...
- Nottingham
- Mansfield
- Derby

- Birmingham
- Manchester
- London
Plus many more. We cover the whole of the UK.
Did you know that we offer a free design service on all office fit outs?
Call us today on 0115 939 7572 and we'll be glad to help.
Helping you create an inspirational workspace
We've worked with clients over a huge range of industries when it comes to office fit outs. This includes clients that were looking to fit out their office premises, retail premises or industrial premises.
Every type of commercial space has its own requirements for example, an office space will need to take into consideration the company culture, how to efficiently utilise the space and how to ensure that staff feel comfortable.
Industrial facilities will require us to consider the acoustics of each area within. If there is a busy production area right next to an office space, it can become a very disruptive working environment for your staff.
That's why we arrange a site visit when we're providing a free office design. The visit allows us to, first and foremost, meet you and to work out your exact needs when it comes to your fit out project. The visit also allows us to get an idea of the space that we'll be working with.
All of this allows us to put together ideas that are based on the unique needs of your business and the lifeblood of your business — your staff.

There's a dolly over by the spacebridge/bacchus shelves, near the sliding glass door. ĀIt's usually used for hauling helium tanks, and both our projects need it, so please don't mangle it and do return it.

I kicked in the $25 I was dragging my feet on, along with an extra $15 for the transport.

(I'd been waiting to kick $25 in for the sodas, since we'd had the machine paid for by the time I got around to it.)

 We moved the Agfa C41 machine

 brutal. Be wary of elevator complications.

 I feel like the cost for that machine is a little expensive? But I'm
 not really sure. If it's in good shape and hackable that's probably
 reasonable. My partner recently bought a vending machine and hacked a
 new interface onto it. I will ask if he has any pointers.

Todd, R. J. (2009) School Librarianship and Evidence-Based Practice: Perspectives, Progress and Problems. Evidence Based Library and Information Practice. Available at: http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/EBLIP/article/view/4637/5318.
Abstract: This paper provides an overview of progress and developments surrounding evidence based practice in school librarianship, and seeks to provide a picture of current thinking about evidence based practice as it relates to the field. It addresses current issues and challenges facing the adoption of evidence based practice in school librarianship. It is based on a narrative review of a small but growing body of literature on evidence based practice in school librarianship, set within a broader perspective of evidence based education.
Loertscher, D.V. with Todd, R.J. (2003). We boost achievement! Evidence-based practice for school library media specialists. Salt Lake City, UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing. Available at: http://www.lmcsource.com
Want to collect the evidence that you boost the achievement in your school with your LMC program? This book provides a multitude of techniques to collect evidence concerning reading, information literacy, collaborative planning, and technology. And like throwing pebbles in a pool causing a ripple effect, these measures not only document what you are doing, but suggest changes in your program to maximize your impact. The various measures in the book follow what is titled the triangulation of data. That is, if one were to measure impact on reading, data would be collected at the learner level, the teaching unit level, and the organization level. Both direct and indirect measures would be created. Because no thermometer can be stuck in a reader's mouth to see whether there is a 98 degree 'capable and avid reader,' the variety of measures taken approximate the 'duck test' (if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... it must be a duck). An essential guide in times when achievement is the bottom line!


text: if anyone has a moment to look at minotaur, something gets messed up once in a while where baron still works (accepts valid codes from door keypads and returns happy noise) but for some reason the gate doesn't get activated. rebooting minotaur fixes this (soft reboot from the commandline) i don't know what it is but i'm glad it's so easy to fix. thing is, it takes a day or two for me to find out that it's not working and to log in and reboot minotaur. Surely there's a better way? the next time i hear about it happening, are there any tests i should run before rebooting, to increase our awareness of what the problem is? thanks all -jake

Wiranto holds talks with East Timor
Page Tools
An Indonesian presidential candidate indicted for war crimes in East Timor met yesterday with that fledgling nation's leader in an apparent effort at reconciliation ahead of the July 5 vote.
General Wiranto met with East Timor President Xanana Gusmao at a luxury hotel in the resort island of Bali. The men shook hands, hugged and laughed when they greeted each other but said nothing to reporters. Before Wiranto left for Bali, however, he said the meeting was between "two old friends who once fought because of our duty to the nation".
A UN-backed special tribunal issued an arrest warrant for Wiranto early last month for his alleged role in the 1999 violence, when East Timor held a referendum on independence and Wiranto headed Indonesia's army.
The referendum sparked a murderous rampage by Indonesian troops and their militia proxies, which also destroyed much of East Timor's infrastructure.
Last year, UN prosecutors working in the tiny nation indicted Wiranto for his alleged command responsibility for "murder, deportation and persecution" committed during 1999.
Wiranto has denied any wrongdoing, saying the indictment was an effort to undermine his candidacy in the presidential elections.
Gusmao had said he would not support the charges against Wiranto, arguing that improving relations with Indonesia is more important than seeking justice for the victims of the massacres.
Yesterday's meeting sparked anger in East Timor.
"Gusmao is playing into the hands of this presidential candidate. He is embracing a man accused of evil crimes. It's demeaning to the victims of the 1999 violence," said Jose Oliveria, the head of Yayasan Hak, a legal aid foundation in the capital, Dili.
East Timor became a nation in 2001 after a period of transitional rule by the United Nations. The world body still keeps a small peacekeeping force, provides technical assistance, and funds efforts to bring those responsible for crimes against humanity to justice.
As many as 200,000 East Timorese are estimated to have died during Indonesia's two-decade occupation as a result of military operations, starvation and disease.

Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno promised to get federal and state money as soon as possible to help rebuild parts of Cumberland and Salem counties damaged in two recent storms.
Guadagno and officials from several state agencies toured Sunset Lake on West Park Drive in Bridgeton today. Guadagno told Cumberland County officials that she wanted to see if the damage was as bad as she heard.
"It's as bad as we expected," she said.
Guadagno said she would talk with Gov. Chris Christie about the need for getting money to Cumberland and Salem counties as soon as possible.
The damage she was inspecting was caused during the Aug. 14 storm and Hurricane Irene that hit both counties.

Faith leaders to meet pope during U.S. trip
WASHINGTON (AP) - Representatives of five non-Christian faiths will meet with Pope Benedict XVI during his first U.S. visit as pontiff next month.
The 45-minute event on April 17 at the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington will include a papal address, greetings from the faith leaders and a presentation of gifts symbolic of each tradition by young members of the respective communities.
There will be no formal dialogue among participants because of time constraints on the pope's schedule, said Sister Mary Ann Walsh, spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Benedict's April 15-20 visit to New York and Washington includes an address to the United Nations, a visit to ground zero, two outdoor Masses at baseball stadiums and a meeting with President George W. Bush.
The interfaith gathering includes 200 invited guests, and Benedict is scheduled to meet personally with three Jewish leaders, three Muslim leaders, two Buddhist leaders, a Hindu leader and Jain leader.
That group includes Rabbi Gilbert Rosenthal of the National Council of Synagogues; Rabbi Joel Myers of the New York-based Rabbinical Assembly; Sayyid Syeed of the Islamic Society of North America; and Imam Hassan Al-Qazwini of the Islamic Center of America, a large mosque in Dearborn, Mich.
Bishop Richard Sklba, chairman of the bishops' Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, said the theme of the meeting is "Religions Working for Peace."
"The cry for peace in our world calls for religious bodies to come together," Sklba, auxiliary bishop of Milwaukee, said in a statement. "This meeting denotes the Holy Father's belief in the need for religious bodies to stress the goal for peace which lies at the heart of all religions."
Muslim woman forced from mall for headscarf
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A Muslim housewife says her civil rights were violated by a security guard who she said forced her to leave a suburban shopping mall when she refused to remove her religious headscarf.
Muntaha Sarsour, 54, and her daughter-in-law, Sajedeh Judeh, 23, had just bought Chick-Fil-A takeout at the mall food court when an Oakwood Shopping Center security guard allegedly stopped Sarsour and told her to remove her headscarf.
"He told her she had two options: Either she take off her headscarf or leave the mall," said Judeh, speaking on behalf of her mother-in-law, who does not speak English well.
Judeh said she then confronted the guard and told him a Muslim in a headscarf "shouldn't be new to you."
When the guard did not answer, Judeh said, "I then told him that was the most ignorant thing I had heard," and he said "I was acting ignorant."
The mall's senior general manager, Lynn Walters, said steps are being made to make sure "this type of occurrence never happens again."
"That action goes against everything we believe in and who we are," Walters said. The mall is run by General Growth Properties Inc., one of the nation's largest shopping mall developers.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a civil rights group in Washington, has asked the FBI and Louisiana officials to investigate the Feb. 22 incident.
The FBI is looking into the case, said FBI spokeswoman Sheila Thorne.

Caliper Covers
I have a set of Caliper covers in red from Bav Auto which I am no longer using, I painted the calipers. They were on my Z4 but I know they will fit other models as well, check with BavAuto to make sure, P/N is 22015-S-FN, I did some checking and the same p/n came up for various other models. Bav Auto sell them for $200, I think I got them on sale for about $100 a year ago, they were on the car about 9 months, still good just trying to clean out stuff. I really liked them as they stood out better than the painted calipers and they cut down on brake dust some. I'll sell them for $50 obo and I'll ship 'em. Link to the picture: http://www.bavauto.com/lview.asp?img...22015-s-fn.jpg
Will they fit a 2013 650i??
It doesn't look like they will. They don't list any for the 2013 but the 2011 I checked calls out a differnet P/N than the Z4 part number. You could call BAV Auto and ask but I am pretty sure they won't fit. Hit me back if you find anything out.

It's been more than four months since I resigned from my work and turned into a full time Mom. If I were to ask if I miss working in a corporate world, my answer would be partly "yes" but more of a "no" or "not yet". No, because motherhood is my world now and I enjoy, albeit tough, each and every moment that I'm with my son. Partly yes mainly because of, with all honesty, the hefty pay I used to receive every 15th and 30th of the month. Although I earn from my blogging ventures, our pooled funds now aren't that much to equate the amount we jointly put into our savings account when we were both working. Actually, the husband's pay check alone is enough to raise our little family but with the economic difficulty that we're all facing, I'm taking the initiative to help the husband by resorting to each blogging biz opportunities that I get hold of in my spare time. Now, at least, we have some moolah to splurge on our occasional whims and fancies. But this venture isn't heaven though at all times. There are some "drought" days so to speak. And it is during these times when I'm almost convinced to try other online jobs that my qualifications and work experience in the corporate world may be relevant like those of Virtual Assistant stints just so to have a steady flow of income while working at home.
A Virtual Assistant (VA) provides remote administrative, technical or creative support to clients to anywhere in the world through the Internet, e-mail and phone call conferences and other online work spaces. My previous research about a Philippine-based VA staffing agency entails that it charges its client at a minimum monthly fee of $675 for a Virtual Assistant and $625 for a Link Builder which, I think, is related to my blogging biz. Now I just don't know how much portion of it goes to the hired staff since this is an agency. But looking at those mentioned figures, it's really tempting to try it out. I'm just quite adamant because this is entirely new to me so I don't know if I'd be able to meet their requirements on time to be allotted and its ins and outs. Of course, mommy duties to Asher would still be my top priority. Well, let's just see. I'll prepare my online resume. Hope it'll be as good, extensive and convincing as that of Daniel Neumeister's who is a multi-talented healthcare executive and has expertise in areas of physician and board development, implementing organizational change, healthcare industry mergers and acquisitions, sales and marketing, and financial management for medical centers and community hospitals. His qualifications and work experience are remarkable. Check out his online folio for more about him.
For the mean time and if my current online ventures further recede, I might pursue this full time Work-at-home job.

Joni Mitchell, CC (born Roberta Joan Anderson; November 7, 1943) is a Canadian musician, singer songwriter, and painter.[1] Mitchell began singing in small nightclubs in Saskatchewan and Western Canada and then busking in the streets and dives of Toronto. In 1965 she moved to the United States and, touring constantly, began to be recognized when her original songs ("Urge for Going," "Chelsea Morning," "Both Sides, Now," "The Circle Game") were covered by notable folk singers, allowing her to sign with Reprise Records and record her own debut album in 1968.[2] Settling in Southern California, Mitchell and her popular songs like "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Woodstock" helped define an era and a generation. Her more starkly personal 1971 recording Blue has been called one of the best albums ever made.[3] Musically restless, Mitchell switched labels and began moving toward jazz rhythms by way of lush pop textures on 1974's Court and Spark, her best-selling LP, featuring her radio hits "Help Me" and "Free Man in Paris."[4]
Mitchell's wide-ranging vocals and her distinctive open-tuned guitar and piano compositions grew more harmonically and rhythmically complex as she explored jazz, melding it with her influences in rock n roll, R&B, classical music and non-western beats. Mitchell's experimental run of jazz-inspired albums, including 1975's The Hissing of Summer Lawns and 1976's Hejira, confused many and hurt Mitchell's sales at the time, but they are acclaimed today. In the late 1970s, she began working closely with noted jazz musicians, among them Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny and Charles Mingus, the last of whom asked her to collaborate on his final recordings.[5] In her later work Mitchell turned again toward pop, embraced electronic music, and engaged in political protest. Mitchell was also the sole record producer credited on most of her albums, including all her work in the 1970s. With roots in visual art, she designed her own album artwork throughout her career. A blunt critic of the music industry, Mitchell quit touring and released her 17th, and reportedly last, album of original songs in 2007. She describes herself as a "painter derailed by circumstance."[6]
Mitchell has deeply influenced fellow musicians in a diverse range of genres, and her work is highly respected by critics. Allmusic said, "When the dust settles, Joni Mitchell may stand as the most important and influential female recording artist of the late 20th century,"[7] and Rolling Stone called her "one of the greatest songwriters ever."[8] Mitchell's lyrics have been noted for their developed poetics, addressing social and environmental ideals alongside individual feelings of romantic longing, confusion, disillusion and joy.
Life can be sad. People can be cruel. The walls can come tumbling down & the roof cave in. But the alternative Nothingness isn't an option if you're on the side of Love & Life. Only if you're a coward & a quitter & the pain & suffering can be dealt with, relieved. Otherwise Oblivion as jumping-off point destination can under utterly devastating circumstances also be an heroic act. Choice. I've my own perspective on throwing away your life. Its so precious. But you do need stamina to endure it. The race isn't always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but Time & Chance...Time & Chance...
Repair the world. Repair the Self. Never stop searching for Love tho it flies. It flies from. But it also flies to...That's just how it is.
Now hear Joni tell it:
Urge for Going
I awoke today and found the frost
perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky, then it
gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold and all
the trees are shivering in a naked row
I get the urge for going
But I never seem to go
I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter
is closing in
I had me a man in summertime
He had summer-colored skin
And not another girl in town
My darling's heart could win
But when the leaves fell on the ground
Boy winds came around, pushed them face
down in the snow
He got the urge for going
And I had to let him go
He got the urge for going
When the meadow grass was turning brown
Summertime was falling down and winter
was closing in
Now the warriors of winter they gave a
cold triumphant shout
And all that stays is dying and all that
lives is camping out
See the geese in chevron flight flapping
and racing on before the snow
They got the urge for going
And they got the wings so they can go
They get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter
is closing in
Apply the fire with kindling now
I'll pull the blankets up to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and
I'll fold my wandering in
I'd like to call back summertime
Have her stay for just another
month or so
But she's got the urge for gong
So I guess she'll have to go
She gets the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
All her empire's falling down
And winter's closing in
And I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down
--song written by Joni Mitchell
Reminiscent of Sandy Denny's "Who Knows Where the Time Goes". I love them both (writers & songs). The natural world. Are you with it or against it? We're part of it no matter what. Sometimes we just get unhooked. Unhinged. Have to get back in touch. Up here in the Santa Cruz Mountains there's no two ways about it. My secular prayer goes: O Life, thank you for my life. Today's a good day to die but I'd rather live. I'm not an old tough guy but I'm a tough old guy. There I admit it okay? I'm young at heart & in quite a few other ways I'm still like a young man, when sufficiently aroused to duty. But I know...I know. There is no Superman. Its been tried & crashed hard. Hasta la vista!
Just had to add this performance from 1966 TV. Other times. Headier days. No one knew which way the world was going. But it has a way of muddling through. Its come this far. Maybe we'll face extinction someday either via our own human self-destructive idiocies or by way of indifferent natural forces, but music like this will last as long as the art & wonder of music itself.
Joni Anderson married and turned into Joni Mitchell, then began to create songs for which there is no equal. This transcendently beautiful hymn to a summer romance that collapsed with the season was only first issued as a B side in the 90's. It was never on an LP. Tom Rush's cover is usually associated with it. This is a live performance on Oscar Brandt's Canadian TV show Let's Sing Out." The guy with the glasses next to Joni is Jimmy Witherspoon.

William Hopoate will return to Sydney from his two-year Mormon mission to inform Parramatta he has no intention of initiating a get-out clause in his lucrative contract and instead will do all he can to help drag the Eels from the code's abyss.
The 21-year-old's club future has been a constant source of speculation after it was revealed there was a clause in his contract that stipulated he could walk away if the man who lured him to Parramatta, former coach Stephen Kearney, was not a part of the club's structure.
Kearney and Parramatta parted company last year, and Hopoate's manager Tyran Smith received inquiries from rival NRL teams keen for his star client to bolster their playing rosters.
However, Smith revealed despite Hopoate finally hearing the extent of the Parramatta club's dramas (Mormons aren't allowed to read the media, watch television or listen to the radio during their mission) - since he was fulfilling his religious duties, the coming-and-going of three coaches; a board seemingly in constant disarray; three chief executives and poor onfield performances - he wanted to step up and embrace the challenge of turning Parramatta into a genuine force. ''William has indicated to me he is happy to play for Parramatta and he's happy to help the young players fulfil their potential,'' Smith said. ''William has matured while serving as a missionary. He has great leadership skills and was made the head of the missionaries in south-east Queensland and he's keen to apply that ability to lead to Parramatta.
''William is very excited to be going to Parramatta and taking on a few challenges there … it's his aim to not only play well but to ensure Parramatta are successful.''
It's expected Hopoate will be paraded out in Parramatta's colours when he returns to Sydney this week at a press conference. The club, which has been besieged by soap opera-like turmoil for the past few years, would be banking on Hopoate to bring the positive energy Kearney identified when he signed the-then 19-year-old after he'd represented NSW and played his role in Manly winning the 2011 premiership.
To prove his commitment to the Eels' cause Hopoate told Smith there would be no holiday when he returns home because he wants to attend training the day after he arrives.
And he'll return ready for action after Smith and Parramatta's strength-and-conditioning coach Ciriaco Mescia flew to Brisbane to monitor his health and fitness and to provide him with a specialised training program. The results suggest he will be primed to start the season at full tilt.
