AT&T introduced a new iPhone application dubbed "myWireless Mobile" that lets users manage their family and individual accounts directly from their iPhone, instead of logging into the my Wireless web application on the carrier's website via desktops. The program allows on the go management of virtually every feature of your wireless service plan.
The convenient iPhone application packs virtually the same feature set as its web counterpart accessed via desktop, but it comes with an elegant, touch-based user interface. You can view and pay your monthly bills, check out voice and data usage in your active plans (including text messages), in addition to managing other service offerings, including new texting plans.
Don't worry, password-protected access keeps your sensitive AT&T account information safe from prying eyes but keep in mind that the app needs existing credentials with the myWireless service on the web so you will need to create a new myWireless account, if you don't already have one.
Once you have your credentials setup, the app allows you to view all account billing details, including last payment amount and date, current balance and due date and download complete bill in PDF format. You can also update your payment methods or create an entirely new payment method, as well as make full or partial payments. The program also supports AT&T's family plans so you can get a detailed overview of both voice and data usage across accounts included in the family plan.
Account information includes current data and text usage, with the latter including both sent and received text messages. What's best, you can access features like AT&T Smart Limits for Wireless, as well as add or remove individual features directly on the device.
Read more in the AT&T's press release and download my Wireless Mobile for iPhone.

Christian's opinion
As you can imagine, I've found out this app tremendously useful, despite two minor annoyances: It supports neither landscape mode nor Premium business accounts or GoPhone (prepaid) accounts. All other aspects work exactly as advertised, in a straightforward and easy to use manner. It would be cool if AT&T made possible the creation of the myWireless account directly on the device, instead of requiring you to do so on their homepage, using your desktop browser, but I guess this could be easily addressed in future updates.
I particularly liked direct access to virtually all features of AT&T's new online service dubbed Smart Limits for Wireless that lets you fine-grade levels of usage of your device, including setting limits for text and data usage, calls and text messages to and from phone numbers that you designate as allowed numbers and monthly voice minutes. This is especially useful for parents who want to limit how their kids use the phone.
What I find peculiar, though, is the fact that it took AT&T nearly two years to offer such application, whereas one would expect that it would come preloaded on the handset from day one. Even more, this appears to be the only iPhone consumer app from AT&T so far in the App Store. I truly hope the carrier rolls more such apps that enable on-the-go management of other AT&T offerings as well, like their IPTV service.

Effective legal advocacy includes the prevention of disputes through sound business planning and the resolution of disputes through advice and counsel regarding the appropriate use of alternative dispute resolution processes. Clients rely on lawyers to help them integrate alternative dispute resolution processes with traditional litigation to achieve a resolution that integrates business solutions with legal remedies. To meet the needs of today's clients and to fulfill the increasingly mandated obligations found in statutes, court rules and professional codes of conduct, lawyers are required to have an understanding of all areas of negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation.

NEW YORK, March 25 (UPI) -- Peter Brant Jr., son of supermodel Stephanie Seymour and businessman Peter M. Brant, was reportedly involved in an altercation leaving at least one cop hospitalized.
The 22-year-old model became irate when JetBlue employees refused to allow him onto a plane set for West Palm Beach, Florida, according to New York Daily News. Brant reportedly prompted a scuffle with a Port Authority officer who was later treated for a sprained right arm in a nearby hospital.
A Port Authority spokesman claimed the young socialite was "severely intoxicated" at the time.
Mother Stephanie Seymour's lawyer, Philip Russell, released a statement regarding the incident, calling her son Brant's behavior "out of character."
"I think it's fair to say that this incident is something one would expect when spring break hijinks collide with the heightened security in the wake of the Brussels tragedy," Russell said, referencing the recent terrorist attacks in Belgium which left at least 31people dead.
Brant is reportedly expected to be arraigned for assault and related charges.
The news comes shortly after his mother, Seymour, was arrested for driving whilst under the influence. She refused a sobriety test at the time.
In early February, reports said the former supermodel was aiming to stay in rehab following a car crash which led up to a DUI charge.

Is it "100" or "one hundred"? Know how to express a number in your business writing with these rules from Daily Writing Tips:
1. If the number is between one and nine, spell it out. Unless you're sending a text message, writing out small numbers is the standard.
2. You may spell out one-word numbers. This isn't a hard-and-fast rule, but many professionals appreciate the formality of spelling out one-word numbers.
Example: Write out "seventy" but use digits to express "75."
3. Always use a comma. Writing "4,179" rather than "4179" makes it easier for a reader to scan the number.
4. Never start a sentence with a number. Either spell out the number or rewrite the sentence. Example: "$5,000 went toward a new HVAC system for the office" would become either "Five thousand dollars went toward a new HVAC system for the office" or "We had to devote $5,000 toward a new...."
5. Use digits to express percentages, such as "a 20% increase."
6. Break up two numbers that appear next to each other.
Example: "We bought 17 500-sheet packs of paper." To avoid visual confusion, write "We bought seventeen 500-sheet packs of paper."
7. Be consistent, particularly within the same sentence.
Take this example: "Out of 25 employees, 20 signed up for professional development this year." If you introduce digits into a sentence, be consistent and use digits throughout the sentence.

Maurice Allais on Equilibrium and Capital in some of his 1940s Writings
The article discusses M. Allais' contributions on equilibrium and capital during the 1940s. While in his Traité (1943) Allais formalizes for the first time an intertemporal general equilibrium (IGE) in a finitehorizon economy, he subsequently abandons this notion, and in the Économie (1947) resumes, instead, the more traditional method based on the notion of stationary equilibrium. The article argues: i) that Allais' reasons to leave the IGE framework behind, of which the most important turn round his misgivings about the sufficiently correct foresight entailed by that notion, and that reflect the impossibility to establish a correspondence between observations and theory by means of the IGE method, are well-justified; ii) that his shift to the method based on the notion of stationary equilibrium to connect the results of neoclassical theory with observations cannot be accepted, since a notion of stationary equilibrium that would make this correspondence possible must face an insurmountable difficulty in the treatment of the factor capital.

By Colin Allen, published on September 1, 2003 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016
Servers take note: the smaller the bill, the bigger the tip. In a
bit of economic irrationality, big dollar meals don't bring in bring in
bigger gratuities. This behavior--known as the magnitude effect--happens
whether the service was good or bad.
After looking at nearly 1,000 tips given to waiters, cab drivers
and hairstylists, author Leonard Green, lead author and psychologist at
Washington University in Saint Louis, found that the standard rules of
microeconomics breakdown when the bill is below $50. If we were
automatons, perfectly subscribed to the laws of economics, everyone would
always tip the same, say 15 percent.
"Percentage-wise you give less on a $150 bill than you do on $20
bill," says Green. As the check gets smaller, he argues that more
psychology--and less arithmetic--factors into what makes a tip "fair". He
chalks up most of the magnitude effect to patrons financially expressing
their thanks for service--be it a cab ride, hair cut or a drink. "It is
payment for them just being there," he explains.
Green admits that there are many other psychological factors that
factor in the decision of how much to tip. Yet, the magnitude effect
remains important because it is commonly used it in day-to-day
decision-making. Do we choose to snack now to ease our hunger pains, or
wait it out for the well-rounded healthy meal?
Green has previously found a magnitude effect in the lottery. When
people were offered $500 up front or $1000 a year later, most took the
smaller sum. Yet if there was a bigger the offer at the end of the
year--such as $100,000--people would ask for more up front. The current
study can be found in the
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review.

Under increasing pressure from Democrats and members of his own party, Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) Tuesday night abandoned his one-man filibuster of a one-month extension to unemployment benefits and other programs.
In the end Bunning agreed to a deal allowing him one vote on an amendment to pay for the bill's $10 billion cost. That proposal was offered by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) last Thursday at the start of his filibuster, but Bunning rejected it because he feared his amendment would not pass.
Reid has also agreed to give Bunning two votes on amendments to a larger, one-year extension bill that is currently under consideration in the Senate.
Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said he was pleased a deal could be reached.
"Bunning is coming back now, he has accepted our offer to have one offsetting amendment, which is an offer we made last week, and now he's accepted it. I think it's a new offset, we're waiting to see. So, we'll see where it goes," Durbin said. "So it would give us two votes: offset amendment and final passage of the short-term [unemployment insurance]."
The Senate is expected to vote Tuesday night on the short-term bill, which also includes payments for doctors and highway spending as well as other items.
Thousands of federal highway employees who had been furloughed as a result of Bunning's filibuster will likely be able to return to work later this week, and unemployment insurance checks will be sent to recipients after several days of delay.
To ensure the deal is enforced, Bunning has placed a hold on all the items included in the nightly "wrap up," which normally entails a unanimous consent agreement to pass noncontroversial nominations and bills, a GOP aide said. Once the votes have taken place that hold would be lifted, the aide explained.

Website Of The Day: WiiHealthy.com
All anyone can talk about this month is how much weight you can lose playing video games like Dance Dance Revolution and Wii sports, so it's only natural that a website has sprung up to address the exergaming craze.
WiiHealthy.com was started by a bunch of Nintendo fans that love the revolutionary Wii console. "We are happy that Nintendo chose a new direction with its next-gen machine and we're happy to tell you that this machine can actually save your life," says the site. "Follow our advice and you'll be losing weight in no time."
Much like the man who initiated the Wii fitness challenge earlier this year, the WiiHealthy team has created a workout schedule and tested it multiple times on people with different lifestyles, different weight categories, different ages and different sexes and is ready to share their findings.
They note that some people will lose weight easier than others and a lot depends on the way you will be playing games, but they have devised a 10 week program where you must play active Wii sports each day for about 30-45 minutes.

FIFE, Wash., Aug. 13 (UPI) -- A Washington man who was looking for some love on the run from a trucker was allegedly seeing red after his request for a date was turned down.
A male trucker stopped at Love's Truck Stop in Fife on Sunday and he ran into the suspect, Robert Truelove.
According to the man, the 47-year-old propositioned him, KOMO reported. "Do you want to go on a date?" Truelove asked.
When the alleged victim declined the offer, Truelove became angry and peeled off his shirt. He then proceeded to pick up a large piece of metal and began "advancing on the victim while threatening to kill him."
The man ran to lock himself inside his truck and police were called.
Truelove denied doing anything wrong, but was still charged with assault and felony harassment and banned from coming back to the truck stop.

There's an old Peanuts cartoon in which Charlie brown, standing at home plate dressed in full baseball gear and wielding a bat, is surprised to see a football come whistling towards him. The caption reads: "Just when you think you've learned how to play the game, someone changes the rules."
This is a familiar feeling for lawyers, whose grasp of and willingness to trust a given technology seems to arrive just as that technology starts to fade away or morph into something new. It took lawyers years to accept email; now we cling to it as our primary communication and collaboration vehicle when newer and better tools are available. Firms still send print and email newsletters long after other organizations have taken up blogging.
Are we now seeing the same thing happening in social media? Some lawyers are just now getting used to the idea of building their profile and promoting their expertise through social media—publishing expert content on blogs and distributing that content through services like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+. These lawyers use social networks as a means to the end of their personal business development.
Now emerging, however, are social media services that exist primarily to serve clients, not lawyers. Websites like LawPivot and social platforms like Quora, for example, invite users to pose legal questions and offer lawyers the opportunity to answer those questions at no charge in hopes of creating a relationship with the questioner that might lead to a paying relationship down the road. That's a whole new way to do business for law firms.
The distinction in purpose between a lawyer's blog and a service like LawPivot is crucial. When a lawyer publishes and distributes information via social networks, she is providing general information to promote her credentials. When a member of the public uses LawPivot, he is asking a specific question and he wants an actionable answer. In the former case, lawyers advance their immediate interests by providing clients something that might be useful later; in the latter case, the roles are reversed.
Can LawPivot, Quora, and similar Q and A services succeed? That depends on multiple factors outside anyone's knowledge and control. But there are immediate implications for lawyers who use these services—implications that also shed some light on how far and in which direction this trend can take us.
It's trite to observe that whenever a lawyer answers a legal question in any but the most vague terms, a relationship materializes between the lawyer and the questioner, because the lawyer has provided information upon which the questioner will rely and act. There are, of course, multiple traps lying in wait for the lawyer in such a situation. She might provide an answer based on incomplete or inaccurate information, but that will be no defense against a malpractice claim. Depending on the lawyer's jurisdiction and its regulators' view of such matters, there might be unauthorized practice of law implications. There are also professional insurance implications: Would this be covered?
To which one might reply: So what? Ethical rules, after all, are self-imposed quasi-regulatory holdovers from an earlier age of legal commerce. If the future of legal advice really is crowdsourced, then ethical rules will have about as much impact as piling up cardboard boxes to turn back a flood. In a truly social legal marketplace, legal service relationships will be formed, consummated, and dissolved frequently and routinely. Some would argue that everyone will be better for having moved past lawyers' 19th-century attitudes.
One of the problems with this line of thinking, of course, is that it's not just lawyers and their ethical rules that really stand in the way of this outcome. It's clients as well.
The utility of a lawyer's advice is directly proportional to the amount of information with which she makes her assessment. Privacy may well be a diminishing asset these days, but it is still difficult to foresee a time when people will be comfortable disclosing the details of their deepest personal problems and business challenges in a public forum. Confidentiality is central to the lawyer-client relationship because clients want it that way.
Now, many of these emerging services make it possible for clients to disclose their information "confidentially" to the website in question. Let's set aside, for a moment, the wisdom of uploading to a faceless website the details of your aged parent's capacity to make decisions or that dispute with your company's key supplier. Let's suppose that a critical mass of people is willing to take that risk and reap the rewards.
If that's really how things evolve, that's all well and good, but those kinds of transactions are not social. The whole premise of social media is that it is public, interactive and conversational; when you ask a question on Quora or LinkedIn, everyone sees it. Once you go behind the equivalent of a closed door and disclose your case in private with an identifiable individual, you are no longer in the realm of social media.
That's why, fundamentally, there are structural limits to just how "social" a legal services transaction can be. The lawyer struggles to provide an answer that's vague enough to offer self-protection and doesn't give away her judgment and analysis for nothing; the client struggles to balance the need for specifics with the risk of embarrassment or exploitation. There is a "value zone" in the lawyer-client relationship in which real money is exchanged for reliable directions, and that zone overlaps hardly at all with the public sphere.
What this thought experiment brings home, ultimately, is the importance of emphasizing the difference between the social Web and social media. The social Web is the near future (if not the present) of the Internet. When we talk about "Web 2.0" and its many descendants, we mean that the Web now continuously enables collaboration and the formation of new relationships that continue and develop "offline," where the most value is created. Smart law firms have already made their Web presence as social as it can be and are reaping the rewards.
Social media, by contrast, is never offline: It is a dynamic, worldwide, 24/7 vehicle for the creation and distribution of content, insight and opinion. For that reason alone, it offers incredible opportunities for clients to learn, for lawyers to market, and for the two to meet. But it's not a platform for legal service delivery, because it's public and you can never lock the doors. Once you do lock the doors, it's no longer social.
Technology offers lawyers unprecedented opportunities to practice and market differently—but those opportunities can turn on a dime, without notice. So get ready to duck: There might just be a football headed your way.

Updating Video Privacy or Gutting It?
The video rental business is among a few sectors of the U.S. economy with strong federal limits on the collection and sharing of consumer data. Under the Video Privacy Protection Act, which was passed in 1988, "video tape service providers" generally are not permitted to share a consumer's video usage information without "the informed, written consent of the consumer given at the time the disclosure is sought." VPPA also prohibits companies from retaining personal information beyond the period prompting its initial collection. Companies like Blockbuster ran afoul of VPPA by sharing its users' rental information with social network contacts, without their consent, and by retaining personal information, including credit card numbers, of users who canceled their accounts. In September, Facebook began making it easier for millions of U.S. customers to effortlessly share, via a new timeline, more of their online activities, such as the music they're enjoying and the articles they're reading. Left off the timeline: the details of the movies they're renting–due to VPPA's requirement that consumers explicitly consent at the time of disclosure. Thus began Netflix's renewed lobbying efforts to amend VPPA, so that Facebook users could automatically share their Netflix rental activity without requiring their rental-by-rental consent.
Those efforts have begun to pay off. The House recently passed a bill, H.R. 2471, which would amend VPPA to makes clear that "informed, written consent" may be obtained electronically using the Internet. Such consent must be obtained distinctly and separate from any other legal or financial terms that are presented to consumers. Representative Goodlatte stated in his remarks on the House floor that the bill maintains an opt-in consent requirement. H.R. 2471 also addresses what it means that consent must be obtained from a consumer "at the time the disclosure is sought." If adopted, the bill would make clear that consumers may provide their consent to information-sharing in advance of a disclosure, so long as such consent may be withdrawn by the consumer. So a Facebook user's one-time grant of approval, opt-in style, would permit the automatic sharing of video-rental activity, that is until the user changed his or her mind and opted out. On one view, the amendment is dismantling the high water mark for consumer privacy protection. Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, explained to the New York Times that Congress isn't "trying to modernize the law," it is "trying to gut the law." At stake, he argued, is not the ostensible sharing of a person's video viewing history, but rather the larger issue of meaningful consent. On an another, the Center on Democracy and Technology's Director on the Consumer Privacy Project Justin Brookman sees the amendment's insistence on separate notice and consent for the opt-in sharing of video information as sufficiently protective of consumer privacy. He argues that "if people want to tell all their friends every single thing they watch without the bother of clicking "Okay" each time, that should be their prerogative." As Brookman explains, although the VPPA amendment doesn't compromise consumer privacy, CDT "would feel stronger about the bill if it offered some benefit to consumers who don't plan to take advantage of automatic sharing, such as by clarifying that the law applies to online streaming of movies — something that wasn't envisioned when the VPPA was passed in 1988. More broadly, there's a lot more consumer interest in generally improving privacy protections to make sure they understand what data is being collected and used about them, and to give them stronger controls around that data." Chris Wolf, co-chair of the Future of Privacy and director of Hogan Lovells' privacy practice, agrees that if consumers want to share their video choices with others in the way they now can share their music and reading preferences, they should be able to do so.
Rotenberg is spot on in his larger concern about meaningful consent. I've long been a notice skeptic — people tend not to read privacy policies and don't understand them if they do. But that's not to say that notice can't be done right. The VPPA isn't all bad–it demands that sharing permission be given separately from other legal or financial terms. Ryan Calo's important work on the flaws of notice regimes across various areas points to the potential for design to address those concerns. If notice can be done right, then the notion of privacy as control may not be illusory. And if CDT has its way in its important work supporting various proposed privacy laws, consumers may in the future be able to better understand what companies collect about them and have greater controls over collection practices. Yet what remains is a nagging feeling that notice and choice regimes can't do it all, that some lines need to be drawn on the kinds of personal data that ought to be collected. Perhaps the collection cat is already out of the bag, and so we need to remain focused on providing protections related to use and distribution. I'm looking forward to getting my copy of the Brooking Institute's volume on Constitution 3.0 co-edited by Jeff Rosen (who had a fabulous interview with NPR's Terry Gross on the book): Orin Kerr has an interesting chapter on the promise of disclosure restrictions. But nonetheless minimizing data collection is something that may be of crucial importance, especially in an era when we feel more and more comfortable gauging privacy protections on what people want. So often, people's rationality is indeed bounded when it comes to privacy. They don't truly understand the long-term implications of their consent — and it might be impossible even for the most sophisticated consumers.

WILDWOOD — As time machines go, the yellow school bus is rather unassuming. But those who step inside find themselves transported to an era when, as tour guide Charlie Buckley puts it, "Ike was president and Elvis was King."
Spring'll soon be gone (Wildwood days), summer's comin' on (Wildwood days)
And I'm-a dreamin' of (Wildwood days) lotsa summer love
— "Wildwood Days" by Bobby Rydell
The music of the time, particularly the style known as doo-wop, plays in the background as the Back to the '50s Neon Night Tour leaves the Doo Wop Experience, the Doo Wop Preservation League's museum, and the journey across the Wildwoods and the decades begins.
"It's about the style of the doo-wop period," Buckley tells his audience, a mix of young and old, mostly longtime Wildwood visitors curious about the past.
The style is key, Buckley explains.
Bold uses of color, unusual angular rooflines, exotic names echoed in a building's design and, of course, the use of Wildwood's exotic species of fauna — the plastic palm tree.
"Each is truly unique, unlike the square condominium boxes," Buckley says.
Doo-wop has come to refer to the architecture of the period between 1955 and 1965, the time when many mom-and-pop motels were built in the Wildwoods.
The trip through time commences with a modern twist, what Buckley calls "neo-doo-wop."
The term has come to mean the use of doo-wop styling in modern structures, such as the bold neon Subway restaurant sign on Rio Grande Avenue or the airport-style lobby at the nearby Starlux Motel, a new addition on a classic doo-wop-era motel.
From there, the bus winds its way across Wildwood, down to Wildwood Crest and up to North Wildwood as Buckley points out the motels that made the island the resort it has become.
The motels have fanciful names, such as Pink Champagne and American Safari. Some send visitors across the ocean to places such as the Caribbean and Aruba. Others suggest foreign intrigue and international travel, such as the Attache and the Pan American.
Chapter One says to love her
You love her with all your heart
Chapter Two you tell her you're
Never, never, never, never, never gonna part
In Chapter Three remember the meaning of romance
In Chapter Four you break up
But you give her just one more chance
— "Book of Love" by The Monotones
The tourgoers can't help but sing along as the music (with a little help from the school bus) moves them further back through the 1950s and 1960s.
Buckley draws their attention to the modern touches of the day — the spinning satellite above the Pan American, the three-story mosaic tile knight at the Crusader, and the rounded, va-va-voom-style balconies of the Imperial 500.
The lava that lines the Royal Hawaiian was imported from Hawaii, while the Shalimar harkens to the popular women's fragrance.
"It wasn't just the cars that had tail fins. Here in Wildwood, they added them to buildings," Buckley says as the bus rolls past the Bristol.
In North Wildwood, the Chateau Bleu boasts a heart-shaped pool, and two people sit inside the sign at the Suitcase Motel.
But Buckley notes that much of the island's doo-wop motels have been lost. At its height, there were about 300; today the number is closer to 100.
Not that neo-doo-wop hasn't been embraced.
The bus takes riders past the Wawa on Rio Grande Avenue, which comes complete with neon and chrome (the only Wawa of its kind), and the Acme with its retro sign designed after the corporation searched its archives.
Come on and twist, yeah, baby
Twist, ooh yeah, just like this
Come on, little miss, and do the twist
— "The Twist" by Chubby Checker
"Wildwood was an entertainment center before Atlantic City thought of it," Buckley says as the bus passes Pacific Avenue.
The street was once a shopping destination in Cape May County, and the nightclubs drew major entertainers, including Checker and Bill Haley and the Comets.
Wildwood was known as Little Las Vegas, thanks to its entertainment offerings and abundance of bright neon.
The tour brings back memories for some, such as Carolyn Gunster, 62, of Reading, Pa., a Wildwood visitor since she was 12 years old.
She and six of her family and friends came along this night to see a little bit of Wildwood's past.
"It was amazing all the stuff I never noticed," she said as she recounted Buckley's tour.
She was stunned by how many doo-wop-era motels had been lost, but thrilled at the memories the tour stirred.
"I thought, 'Oh my gosh, this is the main street where I used to shop,'" she said of Pacific Avenue.
Gunster said four generations of her family visit the island each summer, maintaining a family tradition.
"We have a lot of memories here. It was just a fun place to come," she said.
My folks were always putting him down
(Down, down)
They said, he came from the wrong side of town
(What you mean when you say that he came
From the wrong side of town?)
They told me, he was bad, but I knew he was sad
That's why I fell for the leader of the pack
— "Leader of the Pack" by The Shangri-Las.

In a world known for solidarity and brotherhood, the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) stands almost alone among labor unions...
WASHINGTON — In a world known for solidarity and brotherhood, the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) stands almost alone among labor unions, even as 4,400 of its members walk the picket line.
The Northwest Airlines mechanics and cleaners who went on strike Saturday are the first workers at a major U.S. airline to hit the picket line in seven years. But, despite major upheaval in the industry where many pilots, flight attendants and other workers have had to make concessions in pay and benefits, the striking workers are finding little support from other unions.
AMFA, which grew in recent years by winning members away from other unions, is an outsider in the labor movement. "They are a go-it-alone union. They are proud of that," said Richard Bank, director of collective bargaining with the AFL-CIO. "They made their living raiding AFL-CIO affiliates with that message. So it's rather surprising to see them now calling for solidarity with their cause."
But what happens to AMFA and its Northwest mechanics could have a broad impact on organized labor and the airline industry, well beyond Northwest Airlines, according to labor experts.
"This is a perfect target for Northwest," said Charles Craver, a professor of labor law at George Washington University. "It's a union that is sort of weak. It's not AFL-CIO. If this were (the AFL-CIO's International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers), Northwest might be a little more nervous."
Others have taken cuts
The airline's other employees have continued working during the strike. In contrast, nearly 1,000 baggage handlers, counter agents and other employees walked off the job earlier this month in sympathy when employees with a British Airways caterer were fired, causing the airline to cancel hundreds of flights.
Other industries, struggling to deal with their own labor costs, will be watching the strike closely. Northwest said it needs to cut labor costs by $1.1 billion, and its pilots have agreed to a 15 percent pay cut. AMFA said the airline is seeking to cut its mechanic work force in half and cut the remaining workers' pay by 25 percent.
Since its inception, AMFA has been perceived as an upstart by the AFL-CIO. It was "more of a rogue union that came in and took advantage of a period of high grievances with machinists and promised these guys the world," said Robert Bruno, professor of labor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. AMFA's big break came in 1999 when the mechanics at Northwest decided to decertify the machinists union and move to AMFA instead.
That created a major rift with the AFL-CIO and its member unions, which accuse AMFA of stealing members. The discord remains between the AFL-CIO and AMFA and between AMFA and the unions that recently split from the AFL-CIO. That leaves the union largely on its own during its biggest fight yet.
The relatively small union was founded in 1962 to represent only skilled mechanics. Then in 1999, it pulled Northwest's mechanics away from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM). In 2003, United Airlines' mechanics also left the IAM and joined AMFA after the IAM agreed to a 13 percent wage cut.
Raids caused isolation
AMFA has about 17,000 members, compared with the IAM's approximately 100,000.
That pattern of "raiding" has isolated AMFA from other, more established unions, which refuse to respond to the strike. That leaves Northwest Airlines with little resistance and what will probably be a relatively easy time ridding itself of workers represented by AMFA.
"I think the mechanics have shown a lot of courage but not much longer-term strategy here," said Harley Shaiken, a labor professor at the University of California, Berkeley. "The kind of outreach that is necessary to have a much broader base, they really didn't do."
As it became clear AMFA might strike, it asked other unions for support — with little success. The IAM's general vice president, Robert Roach, wrote AMFA's leader, O.V. Delle-Femine, saying, "It is about time that AMFA recognizes that it cannot win a major labor dispute standing in isolation." He went on: "IAM members will not be duped into standing with AMFA. AMFA has never honored an IAM picket line."
AMFA received similar cold responses from other unions.
Support from ILWU
However, the union and its strikers are receiving other kinds of support, said Steve MacFarlane, AMFA spokesman.
"We're getting a tremendous amount of help from all the other unions individually. We're getting all kinds of information from our fellow workers" who remain on the job, he said. "We never expected the others to honor our picket line, but of course we would have welcomed that," he said. "But we never calculated that as a part of our strategy."
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) has spoken out in support of AMFA. "I ask all ILWU members to do everything in their power to help these workers in the struggle as if it were your own," James Spinosa, international president, said in a letter to the union's locals.
The employees and staff of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters will not be flying Northwest Airlines. But the group is not organizing a formal boycott, and its members are making their own decisions about how they will respond, said Leigh Strope, a Teamsters spokeswoman. Not flying Northwest is "a show of respect for the workers at Northwest Airlines rather than a sign of support for AMFA," she said Friday in an e-mailed statement.
Flight attendants
worry about safety
Flight attendants at Northwest Airlines are expressing concern about the safety of the carrier's planes four days into a strike by the company's mechanics.
Members of the Professional Flight Attendants Association are calling union offices with comments about some work being done by the mechanics' replacements, spokesman Bob Krabbe said yesterday.
Members have made hundreds of calls, complaining that some of the airline's replacements don't know how to make some repairs and that delays are frustrating customers, Krabbe said.
"Many of our people have called in and said: 'We're concerned about flying on these aircraft,' " Krabbe said. The union represents about 10,000 Northwest employees.
The flight attendants' comments came as Northwest worked to keep its planes flying with more than 1,200 replacement mechanics, part of a $107 million contingency plan devised before the strike began Friday.
Mechanics and cleaners went on strike over the company's proposal to cut $176 million in pay, benefits and jobs to reduce costs.
The airline is still in negotiations with its other unions, including the flight attendants, as it tries to lower labor costs by $1.1 billion annually and avert a bankruptcy filing.

Damon Allen's status for the Argos' next game is up in the air.
The red-hot quarterback, who was replaced by Michael Bishop after suffering a bone bruise near his right ankle in the third quarter of a 34-27 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Monday, isn't sure whether he'll be ready to face the Montreal Alouettes (3-3) Friday at the Rogers Centre.
"It's too soon to say right now," said Allen, who didn't practise yesterday as the Argos (4-2) returned to the field after a five-day break. "Probably the most I can give you is that it's day to day and I'm hopeful and working hard to get my ankle back and back on the field."
Allen, who used crutches this past week to move around and had swelling around his ankle, walked without a limp yesterday. Immediately after the Winnipeg game, Allen said he expected to play against the Als. While he backed off that stance a bit yesterday, it sounds like Allen feels he has a good chance to start.
"I've been playing with pain my whole career, it's nothing new," he said. "There are some conservative people out there. I'm hopeful. They told me I was (out) 12 weeks last year when I broke my leg and I came back in seven weeks. That's all I can go on."
If Allen can't go, the Argos have plenty of confidence in Bishop, who came on in relief Monday and led the team to a victory in his first game of the season.
At least the injury hasn't affected Allen's sense of humour. In an initial interview with reporters yesterday, a giggling Allen said he'd be out at least two to three weeks.
"I'm always looking for miracles," said Allen, who hobbled out of the treatment room to add to the drama. "There are miracles that happen every day. That's the hope I have."
It wasn't until a second interview 30 minutes later that Allen got serious.
"With Damon, we expect the unexpected," Argos coach Pinball Clemons said. "Whenever something happens, we always wait on him. You're slow to judgement in his case. Whenever they say eight weeks for him, it means three. When they say two weeks, he quite possibly won't miss any time at all ... It will be tight either way.
"He'll be close and I think he has a chance to play. If it's a playoff game, does he play? I think the answer would be yes and we could answer that (yesterday). Based on this point of the season and the number of games to go, is it smart to play him? I'm not sure. We'll have to weigh it as the week goes on."
Meanwhile, receiver R. Jay Soward, who injured his right rotator cuff against Winnipeg, didn't practise yesterday and said he has a 50-50 chance of playing against Montreal.
"It will probably be a game-time decision," he said. "I'm just going to be smart about it. I'd rather play in the Grey Cup than play against Montreal on Friday."

PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger could be close to returning to the lineup, maybe a bit earlier than anticipated, according to general manager Paul Holmgren.
The six-time All-Star has been sidelined since December 15 when he suffered a broken first metatarsal in his right foot at Montreal. Pronger was originally expected to be out of action from 4-to-6 weeks.
He has been given the go-ahead to do some light skating starting Thursday and will be re-evaluated on January 12, Holmgren said on Wednesday. The GM added that the foot is healing "nicely."
Pronger has registered four goals and 11 assists for 15 points in 31 games this season.

We debase the perspectives of this Sunday's gospel by moralising about the details. We ought to take it in its entirety, and we then find an implicit instruction of great depth, an instruction which comprehends more about human behaviour than its two elements considered in separation.
In fact the gospel says that such a combination ought to characterise the Christian's behaviour, so to speak as second nature. Each side of the combination is equally intense; each side must be both prized and cultivated.
If we ever experience sadness about the seeming state of the Church, the Catholic ethos we knew being debased and discredited, we ought to reflect on how new ethoses are created. New ethoses are created not out of abstractions and dreams, but out of the instinctive and habitual carrying out with great care and deliberation of the normal homely tasks we hear about in the gospel.
This is because the goodness of such normal homely tasks diffuses itself far wider than the spectacular which is widely reported. Both sides of the instruction must show themselves as the fruits of a maturity which remains unbroached, and from which it can give.
The incident at the Pharisee's Sabbath feast gives a strong impulse, not just on how to avoid personal embarrassment in public, but of the positive value of self-effacement. It is tasteless, childish to seek prominence, worse even to contend about it with rivals or suspected rivals for the limelight. If you wanted the best judgement on the personalities concerned in such a fracas, you would not ask the disputants, but those who have learnt the wisdom of staying in the background, watching and weighing it up.
Jesus' teaching is a positive correction to an all too frequent destroyer of peace and mind. A society only makes general progress when the quiet good will of the normally silent majority is prepared to exert an inexorable pressure on the self-seekers. It is a story of public life, whether the political arena, or somewhere more modest.
This is in great contrast with the recommendation to summon the deprived to a banquet. Here the setting is already private, hidden from any reporters; if any of them heard they would find it hard to sensationalise without some ironic mockery. It is difficult to sustain good publicity for such enterprises for more than a limited time.
But the point of the story is that the real heroics are played out here, and in analogous situations. It would demand an heroic mastery over one's inclinations and sensitivities to fill the house with 'the poor, the lame, the crippled and the blind', even though they are sharers in one's common humanity. For some people it costs a real effort even to visit the sick and aging relatives, who so often say that they do not want to trouble the young people.
So there is to be a levelling up and a levelling down, as a consequence of the nature of the Kingdom which Our Lord was preaching. And there was precisely this levelling up and levelling down in the way his mission unrolled around him.
He is the ever-drawing Centre; he is the inescapable Mean around whom all are meant to assemble. And those on both sides assemble round him: the initially ambitious and the initially deprived and despised, they are drawn to make that Centre and that Mean their own, as they take upon themselves, gradually under grace, but with a willing and happy resignation, to let themselves be transformed into what they are already in their depths: sons with him of the same heavenly Father.
Therefore they share the same protection which a Father can give, and communicate it to others who attach themselves to the same assembly. And with this Son of God, sharing in the inspirations and gifts of the same Spirit, they establish a Church-Kingdom which is characterised by a justice, exterior in relationship to others, interior in relationship to one's true self. This justice manifests itself in peace, and goes on to erupt into that most desirable of qualities, alike light and serious, of spiritual joy - of a humanity, at ease with itself, and at ease with God. Amen.
