The U.S. Federal Reserve has trotted out excuse after excuse for keeping interest rates pegged at crisis-era levels. It has done so despite the fact we left the worst of the crisis behind a half-decade ago, and the fact we're doing much better here in the U.S. than the rest of the world.
Today, its last excuse got blown out of the water!
Just look at the November jobs report, and what it showed:
==> Job growth surged to 321,000 last month. That crushed the average estimate of 230,000, and was the largest one-month gain in almost two years.
==> Not only that, but October's figure was revised up 29,000 to 243,000, and September's result was revised up 15,000 to 271,000.
|November had the largest one-month gain in job growth in almost two years.
==> The unemployment rate held at 5.8 percent, far below the 6.5 percent to 7 percent targets the Fed used to bandy about as potential triggers to start tightening policy.
==> Most notably considering the Fed's latest, greatest focus on wages, average hourly earnings jumped 0.4 percent. That was double the forecast of economists, and the biggest gain in 17 months. The average workweek rose to 34.6 hours, too.
Look, I know that many of us aren't seeing as much economic improvement as we'd like in our cities, our neighborhoods or our own lives. The U.S. still faces structural problems with large budget deficits, political dysfunction, excess regulation and overall debt holding us back.
Heck, we just poked our head above the $18 TRILLION debt mark in late November. That's unacceptable over the longer term, and it's a challenge no administration has been able to tackle for several years.
But these figures put us on track for the best year of job growth since 1999. That's 15 long years ago. We've also now seen the longest stretch of 200,000+ job growth per month since 1994.
More importantly, BOTH of those years marked the beginning of major Fed rate-hiking cycles. The Fed raised rates six times, pushing the federal funds rate from 4.75 percent in early 1999 to 6.5 percent by the middle of 2000. And the Fed raised rates seven times in 1994 and early 1995 — ultimately DOUBLING the funds rate to 6 percent from 3 percent.
So I ask you: Could we soon face a "Bloody Wednesday?" A day where the Fed is FORCED to shock the markets and hike rates at the end of one of its two-day policy meetings? You're darn right we could!
There is absolutely, positively, ZERO justification for zero percent rates. None. That means the clock is ticking, folks. With two-day policy meetings starting in 2015 on Jan. 27-28, and following in March (17-18) and April (28-29), there are plenty of opportunities for the Fed to start moving. And I bet they will!
|"The market is going to have to come to grips with a tighter Fed."
That's why Eurodollar futures, which track expectations about future Fed policy, got hammered right after this number came out. Lower Eurodollar futures prices come hand in glove with expectations for earlier, or larger, future Fed hikes. It's why yields on 5-year Treasuries are hovering around the 1.65 percent-1.7 percent mark, far, far above the 2012 lows of 0.54 percent.
Bottom line: The market is going to have to come to grips with a tighter Fed, regardless of what kinds of asinine easing moves the European Central Bank or Bank of Japan cook up! So make sure you're prepared for that eventuality, too.
How about your take? What do these stronger jobs figures tell you about the state of the U.S. economy? Does the Fed need to get out of emergency mode and start normalizing interest rates? Or are the threats from lousy overseas economies too severe to allow that to happen? What do you think this means for the dollar, for stocks, and for bonds in 2015? Let me and your fellow investors know at the Money and Markets website!
|Our Readers Speak
Vladimir Putin's latest machinations. Mario Draghi's monetary madness. You sounded off on those topics and more at the website in the wake of my last few columns.
Reader Tommr said that the threat of dumping Treasuries — whether it's Russia or China doing the selling — simply won't work as a retaliatory measure in response to Western sanctions. The comments:
"I don't believe that it gives any country leverage to threaten to sell a horde of U.S. Treasury bonds. The Federal Reserve would buy all of them with its Air Money. Japan tried to play this card in 1987 and it totally back fired on them. They still have not recovered!"
As for the euro currency, Draghi's monetary policy, and the economic impact of Putin's pressure on Eastern Europe, Reader Jeff said: "Would I buy the euro right now? — Hell no! Putin's economy is crashing due to oil prices and global sanctions but the euro is only propped up by fake-money policies like what you describe (and which are also in play in the U.S.).
"Investing in the euro right now is like investing in the hope that Putin will not try to retake the rest of Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia and many other former Soviet satellites. When he does that, and when Europe has no money to support its own defense, what is going to happen to investments in Europe? I'm not going to answer this because you already know."
Reader Syd added: "Couldn't agree more about Draghi-Mania and the failed policy of the ECB. Of course it is designed to boost the economies of France, Italy, and Greece, but the banks there are still not issuing loans to small and medium sized entrepreneurs in these countries. On the other hand, ECB policy does nothing for the countries with stronger economies with sometimes negative interest rates like Germany.
"Draghi may postpone the ultimate fall of the euro. Germany will reluctantly play along for the sake of European unity just as they have with the western sanctions against Putin. But this cannot last forever."
Finally, Reader Craig B. said the best way to capitalize on the current environment is to buy what's beaten down before it bounces back. A key opportunity right now? Energy stocks! His comments:
"The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) is down 20 percent since June when oil started to roll over. Oil moves opposite to the U.S. dollar and is very responsive to changes in the exchange rate and the U.S. Dollar Index.
"So, better buy some energy stocks, as the whole sector is in a major correction for now. If you hesitate, you are then acting against central bankers, who always have 'one more QE' in the wings or even lower interest rates (pull a rabbit out of their hats). Before you know it, the energy sector will be back on track and headed up to a more moderate price level. Every correction since 2011 has been a V-Shaped recovery. Why would this one be ANY different?"
Thanks for all the comments, and be sure to keep them coming at the website!
I do happen to believe that energy shares may be in the process of carving out an intermediate-term low. And as much as I've been on board with the idea of a dollar rally against the euro for several months now, it looks to be getting long in the tooth here. So we should be alert to the possibility of a reversal/correction. Stay tuned!
|Other Developments of the Day
Ashton Carter will become the fourth defense secretary of the Obama administration, according to news reports (and assuming Congress confirms his nomination). Carter has served as a deputy defense secretary and is perceived as a smart policy expert.
One of the coolest things about living where I do in south Florida is that I can see launches at Cape Canaveral right from my doorstep. Thankfully, weather conditions were good enough this morning that I was able to watch the Orion spacecraft blast off into space aboard a Delta IV Heavy rocket.
The mission will test the capabilities and safety of the Orion system, manufactured by Lockheed Martin (LMT, Weiss Ratings: A-). The eventual goal is to send a manned mission to Mars, probably sometime in the 2030s.
We've already seen one mega-merger announcement in the oil industry, with Halliburton (HAL, Weiss Ratings: B) making a $35 billion play for Baker Hughes (BHI, Weiss Ratings: B). The Wall Street Journal suggests it won't be the last.
Why? Lower oil prices will drive companies into each other's arms as a salvation from lower stock prices. Could that be one reason why oil stocks have shown signs of firming even as crude oil PRICES haven't bottomed yet?
Those protests I mentioned yesterday over the death of Eric Garner, a black man who died after being placed in a chokehold by white police officer Daniel Pantaleo, haven't subsided. Instead, they've spread around the country — to Boston, Dallas, Chicago, and Washington as well as New York.

Long service leave: Change of employer
Understand the rules and get Long Service Leave calculations right.
On this page
- Understand what 'one employer' means
- Know where it applies
One employer and LSL
The Long Service Leave (LSL) Act sets out several situations where an employee is regarded as having been employed by one employer, even though in the strict legal sense they have worked for more than one employer. Below are instances of instances that are considered as 'one employer' for the purposes of calculating LSL.
Change of hands
Where a business is sold, transferred or assigned, and an employee remains with the business, the new employer becomes responsible for the employee's long service leave entitlement. The period of employment with the old employer transfers to the new employer, who becomes liable for the long service leave accrued across the entire period of employment. It is common for the sale of business documents to reflect this liability, but such documents could not validly deny an employee's entitlement. Even if there are no documents setting out this liability, the employee still has an entitlement.
It is important to note that, where an employee will continue with the new owner of the business, the old employer should not pay out accrued long service leave to the employee. It is common for employees to be paid out any accrued annual leave at the time of a sale of a business and for their employment to be considered terminated with the old owner, however this does not break continuing employment for long service leave according to the LSL Act.
If an employee is dismissed by the old or new business owner but is re-hired by the new business owner within 3 months, employment is not broken for purposes of the LSL Act.
If an employee does not remain with a business that has changed hands, the employer who sold the business is responsible for calculating and paying out any long service leave entitlements to which the employee has become entitled.
Related employer
Where an employee has worked first with one employer and later works with a related corporation, or a corporation with substantially the same directors and/or management, then employment will be continuous. In such a case, the related corporation will assume liability for the employee's long service leave entitlement from the time when the employee commenced with the previous employer(s).
If an employer has an apprentice who is employed by the same employer within 12 months after completion of that apprenticeship, then the time of their apprenticeship is counted for the period of employment with that employer.
Some apprentices are employed by a Group Training company which places the apprentice with a host employer. The apprentice may later become employed by the host employer directly. In this situation, the employment is likely to be with two employers (first the Group Training company, later the business) who are not related. The time the apprentice has spent employed with the Group Training Company will only be considered continuous employment, where the Group Training Company and the host employer are related in a way prescribed in the LSL Act.
Multiple locations
Some employees may work in a variety of locations over a period of years. As long service leave entitlements vary between States, the question then arises as to which long service leave legislation applies to the continuous employment. The answer will always turn on the particular circumstances of the case. You should seek advice about your particular circumstances in this situation.
Overseas service is likely to be included for the purposes of accruing long service leave, if it is part of continuous employment with one employer.
ExampleRobyn has been continuously employed by John's Tyres for nine years. The owner of John's Tyres, John, sells John's Tyres to Terry. When the business is taken over, Terry continues to employ Robyn and there is no break in service. In this situation, Robyn's employment is continuous.
Terry becomes liable for Robyn's accrued long service leave over the past nine years, and for any long service leave that accrues in future. Employment may be considered continuous when the assets (for example, equipment), or part of a business, rather than the entire business itself, are transferred to another employer and the employee works for the new owner of the assets or part of a business.
What's next?

At the risk of starting to sound like a miserable old man, I am going to have another moan about young footballer's and the way the game seems to be going.
I was discussing a lack of respect that seems to emanate in youngsters for their elders now, and that attitude has transcended into football.
Reading the views of Craig Bellamy, a footballer who has had his off-field problems during his career, really rang true with me.
Speaking in the Daily Mail, Bellamy said: "These days you get some boys coming in who aren't even bothered if they impress. You have an 18-year-old kid driving a Mercedes in to the club. I didn't start driving until I was 22."
Those words just about sum up the situation for me.
Players used to have to put in an appreticeship and graft to earn the right to take to the field and wear their club colours.
Now we see the likes of Raheem Sterling reportedly turning down offers of £25,000 a week? How on earth has that happened?
Carlton Cole spoke out on the matter this week, adding: "I got my first pro contract at 17. I was travelling with the team, going up north, but still I had to wash Dennis Wise's boots at that age.
"Now these kids don't have to do that. They think everything comes easy. I did a lot of stuff. I used to play a Premier League game and get on a bus to go home. These kids are getting driven home now, you know what I mean?"
Such a medial task as washing a pair of boots has been taken away and that sense of discipline has gone with it - Cole and Bellamy are bang on the money.
It comes back to the issue of money in the game, with the top clubs scouting all over the world to try and unearth the next big superstar and cash in.
When you see the biggest club in England and possibly the world, Manchester United, losing youngsters to other clubs, the alarm bells start to ring.
Paul Pogba moved to Juventus to sign a bumper contract and the efforts United put in scouting him and nurturing him were wasted.
Then we see the likes of Sterling and Ravel Morrison turning down lucrative offers from their clubs - The day these players were called into the manager's office and told they were getting a contract would have been the best day of their lives about a decade ago.
So much has changed since the birth of the Premier League and the increase in money trickling into the game after the Sky TV deal.
Bellamy, who has enjoyed a superb career - a very underrated player in my opinion - cleaned the boots and looked after a player called John Polston as a youngster at Norwich City.
Now I like to think I know a fair amount about the game, but even I've never heard of Polston. But that just goes to show how much things have changed.
Bellamy, who was one of the club's best prospects, running around after an average footballer like Odd Job in the famous James Bond flick Goldfinger.
Can you now imagine the likes of Sterling cleaning Brad Jones' boots now, or Morrison, on loan at Birmingham, getting the polish out on Steve Caldwell's motor? No chance.
Bellamy added: "It wasn't just cleaning boots. I used to have to make my "man" tea and coffee, clean his car.
"It was a guy called John Polston. He was a pain at times and not always nice to work for. But I learned a few things."
Bellamy sums the situation up with his statement that concludes his interview; "We didn't leave till late. It was a bit too extreme if I'm honest but there has to be that balance and they have gone too far now the other way now."
Young players are wrapped up in cotton wool now. This is just going even further to detracting even further from normal society.
We already treat footballers like they're from another planet, just imagine what the next generation player will be like.
To quote another James Bond title in summing the current situation, it seems 'The World Is Not Enough' for some of these modern players, and they need to be handed both a bucket and sponge and a harsh reality check.

But a recently discovered security hole in some Samsung Smart TVs shows that many of those bells and whistles aren't ready for prime time. The flaws in Samsung Smart TVs, which have now been
patched, enabled hackers to remotely turn on the TVs' built-in cameras without leaving any trace of it on the screen. While you're watching TV, a hacker anywhere around the world could have been
watching you. Hackers also could have easily rerouted an unsuspecting user to a malicious website to steal bank account information. Samsung quickly fixed the problem after security researchers
at iSEC Partners informed the company about the bugs. Samsung sent a software update to all affected TVs. But the glitches speak to a larger problem of gadgets that connect to the Internet but
have virtually no security to speak of . Security cameras , lights, heating control systems and even door locks and windows are now increasingly coming with features that allow users to control
them remotely. Without proper security controls, there's little to stop hackers from invading users' privacy, stealing personal information or spying on people. Related story: The scariest search
engine on the Internet In the case of Samsung Smart TVs, iSEC researchers found that they could tap into the TV's Web browser with ease, according to iSEC security analyst Josh Yavor. That gave
hackers access to all the functions controlled by the browser, including the TV's built-in camera. "If there's a vulnerability in any application, there's a vulnerability in the entire TV," said
Aaron Grattafiori, also an analyst at iSEC. Yavor and Grattafiori were also able to hack the browser in such a way that users would be sent to any website of the hacker's choosing.

Related Articles Meet the 'appreneurs': using apps to build big business 13 Jul 2013 As part of this commitment, the Department of Health has recently funded the development of a new smartphone
app for Whizz-Kidz. Free to download, the app allows young disabled people and their families to access a number of the charitys services including beginning the application process for vital
mobility equipment which will transform their lives, offering them greater choice, and providing more opportunities for them to fulfil their potential. Like all of Whizz-Kidzs innovations, our
app has customers at its heart and was designed to give young disabled people the tools to make their own decisions, and afford them another convenient channel by which to achieve independent
mobility in this case at the touch of a screen. Some of its key features include videos to show parents how to measure their children prior to assessment in order to speed up the process; and a
Rate and Review service similar to commercial services like Trip Advisor or Patients Like Me whereby families can give feedback on the products they receive from Whizz-Kidz. We use this
intelligence as leverage to drive the manufacturers to make improvements and increase user satisfaction. Crucially, using technology in this way is cost effective. It is possible to save
financial costs to the NHS, and keep standards of healthcare high. For instance, if a young person downloads the app, which leads them to apply for an appropriate wheelchair preventing them
developing pressure sores, it could potentially save hospitalisation and even spinal surgery. This is the tip of the iceberg in potential savings. The right equipment might mean a child can reach
their school desk comfortably and require less school adaptions. Their parent might then be more likely to work, impacting less on the state. A report from Frontier Economics used data from the
charitys award winning partnership with Tower Hamlets NHS to demonstrate that, for every 1 spent by the charity on the appropriate wheelchair, between 10 and 65 is generated for the economy; as
young people gain increased independence and can take up more education and employment opportunities. The app will also support Whizz-Kidzs aim to deliver its innovative Child in a Chair in a Day
initiative - which means that, more often than not, children in routine cases are able to take their equipment home on the day of their assessment, and can start their path to independence right

Freeman said the police who interviewed her about the bomb threat asked whether she was friends with Criado-Perez. Freeman, whose latest column How to use the internet without being a total loser
addressed the issue of misogynistic online abuse, said: "I get loads of abuse on Twitter. That I should just 'go back to the kitchen', or someone saying they can't wait until women lose the vote.
"It's not all from men, some are clearly from women, such as "I'm only a feminist because I can't get a boyfriend, or I must be a lesbian because I'm a feminist. I have had some rape threats too.
They're always misspelled." She said the abuse directed against her had become more angry, intense and misogynistic since the threats against Criado-Perez and Creasy. "Because of the bomb threat
this time I called the police. There was that guy arrested for threatening to blow up an airport. If it's illegal to threaten to bomb an airport, it's illegal to threaten to bomb me." Freeman
said the police had also advised anyone who received a similar threat to report it. Twitter bosses are to be questioned by MPs about complaints that they have failed to do enough to protect women
from users posting violent and abusive threats. Freeman said Twitter needs to take online abuse and threats more seriously and should introduce more robust ways to deal with them.

Shatter ploughs a lonely furrow after being thrown to the wolves by Enda
Since Alan Shatter resigned as Justice Minister in May 2014 following the publication of the Guerin Report, he has been fighting a lonely battle to vindicate his reputation. That is both unfair and unjust. As subsequent reports have shown, he did not deserve the battering he received from almost all quarters in the weeks and months leading up to his resignation.
He stood accused of three main 'crimes'. The first is that when Gsoc conducted an investigation into whether or not they were under surveillance by members of An Garda Siochana, Shatter strongly sided with the latter and put the Garda Ombudsman under undue pressure.
The second is that he lied about when he received a letter from former Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan concerning the discovery of possibly illegal Garda taping of telephone calls in various Garda stations around the country.

Some Members of Congress have recently found a scapegoat for lost manufacturing jobs: the yuan, the currency of the People's Republic of China. Their proposed bill (S. 1586) would allow the U.S. government to impose a tariff on imports from China if China fails to revalue the yuan. This bill is an example of flawed economic analysis leading to bad policy. Higher tariffs on Chinese products will hurt millions of U.S. consumers and, even worse, will not address the real issue--China's strict controls on capital flows.
Instead of supporting higher tariffs, the Bush Administration should pressure China to relax controls on capital flows, allowing reserves now accruing to leave the country in search of better returns abroad. The Administration should also work with China to eliminate remaining Chinese tariffs and non-tariff barriers so that the Chinese can import more. A move toward greater economic freedom in China, not less economic freedom in the United States, will bring sustained benefits for both China and the U.S.
A Short-Sighted
While the argument for raising tariffs on Chinese products to safeguard the U.S. manufacturing sector may appeal to workers' fears, it makes no economic sense. In a recent letter to the editor in The Wall Street Journal, Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) blamed China's manipulation of the yuan for "American manufacturing hemorrhaging jobs." That faulty statement could get votes, but a policy based on it would harm millions of American consumers and the overall health of the U.S. economy for at least three reasons:
- China is not the
cause of lost manufacturing jobs
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, manufacturing jobs have been declining for almost two decades, but not because of increased trade with China. China is not the only country with cheaper jobs and lower manufacturing costs. Mexico, several Central American countries, and some other Asian countries also have cheaper labor and production costs than the U.S., and few would argue that this is due to an undervalued currency. The U.S. decline in manufacturing jobs is the result of increased productivity. In plain English, with new technologies the U.S. is producing more with less labor--an indication of economic health, not economic sickness.
The loss of manufacturing jobs also reflects a shift from a manufacturing-based economy to a service economy based on human capital, akin to the 19th century shift from an agricultural to a manufacturing economy. Those losing jobs in manufacturing can be trained for work in the service sector. Job creation in the services sector has increased by almost 70 percent since 1991.
In addition, the loss of manufacturing jobs reflects choices made by Americans. For the past century, manufacturers in the Northern states have complained about job migration to the South. To encourage economic development and raise living standards, Southern states generally adopted less stringent labor, pro-union, and pro-environmental regulations than their Northern neighbors, resulting in lower wages for employees and greater flexibility and potential profits for employers. Today, when developing countries are faced with a similar choice between stricter regulations or feeding people, regulations lose their attractiveness and wages remain lower. Forcing unwanted regulation on these countries may stem job migration, but only at the cost of reduced economic freedom and more hunger in developing countries.
- Trade barriers
hurt the economy
Trade barriers raise the price of imports for U.S. consumers while protecting uncompetitive economic sectors. The artificially high wages in these less productive industries discourage workers from moving into more competitive sectors, such as financial services or information technology, thereby reducing the overall efficiency of the U.S. economy.
- China's exchange
rate is not the problem
While many economists argue that the yuan is currently undervalued--perhaps by as much as 40 percent relative to the dollar--there is simply no clear way to know whether this is true. However, even if the yuan is undervalued, raising tariffs is certainly not the solution. This would raise the price of Chinese imports, effectively playing favorites among Americans--making certain U.S. manufacturers "winners" at the expense of millions of U.S. consumers while harming workers in industries that depend on Chinese imports. Such a policy would distort, rather than help, the U.S. economy.
What the Bush
Administration Should Do
The Bush Administration should actively oppose calls by Members of Congress to raise tariffs on Chinese products. More tariffs will both compromise the health of the U.S. economy and hurt millions of consumers, workers, and producers who rely on imports. If Congress passes a law raising tariffs, President Bush should veto it.
The Administration should also work with China to remove trade and outbound investment barriers in China. Once Chinese investors have more choices, they can be encouraged to invest in the United States--at a potentially higher return--which would stimulate U.S. job creation.
The U.S. is trending toward a more services-oriented economy and increased productivity in the manufacturing sector. This shift will encourage U.S. workers to train for opportunities in the rising services sector. The loss in manufacturing jobs, therefore, reflects a long-term trend, not the effects of China's current exchange rate.
Imposing tariffs on Chinese products is a shortsighted policy that will not create more U.S. jobs overall but will hurt millions of U.S. consumers. To improve the economy, the Administration should instead negotiate a rapid reduction of Chinese trade tariffs. If China balks, the Administration and Congress should reassess policies on technology transfer to China.
A move toward greater economic freedom in China, not less economic freedom in the United States, will bring sustained benefits for both China and the U.S.

12 weeks today - question about stopping progesterone

Awesome for 12 weeks! I too was terrified about stopping progesterone. My RE told me to stop when I saw him at 11 weeks. My progesterone level at that time was 38.2 (crazy high). He told me the same thing- that the placenta takes over about 10 weeks, and if he gave progesterone to a non-pregnant woman, her levels would be between 5-10. Knowing my level was already so high, that the placenta was doing what it needed to do, helped me mentally. If you know what your progesterone is now, that might help- the pills are only gilding the lily at this point.
I am now 16 weeks and everything is fine.
I had some headaches after I stopped it- I went from 100mg 2x a day to nothing. I wish I'd tapered down to 100mg 1x a day, or even every other day, instead of cold turkey.

Yep, that's right, folks! To promote her latest album, Glory, which drops on August 26th, Britney Spears is joining James Corden to belt her sweet heart out on The Late Late Show's Carpool Karaoke and we literally could not be more pumped.
Anyone who has watched her 2002 movie Crossroads — and if you haven't, sort it out — knows that this is one diva who can groove in a moving vehicle.
But what else could we expect to see from this glorious and undoubtedly soon to be viral TV appearance? I've plucked out five ideas From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart, some of which could happen, most of which probably won't, but hey, a girl can dream. Starting with the most obvious, here's what we'd like to see on Britney's Carpool Karaoke:
1. Epic Tunes
Duh, I know. But still, I'm picturing James Corden belting out classics like "Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman" (would be amazing, right?) alongside serious party vibes like "Toxic" and "Piece of Me." They better Work it B**ch, is all I'm sayin'.
2. A Cameo From Justin Timberlake Or Madonna
OK, so those those examples are never going to happen, but could it be so far fetched to expect some of her collaborators to make an appearance? Michelle Obama did get a visit from Missy Elliott in her Carpool Karaoke, after all. Maybe Snoop Dogg could shoot hoops in the back seat, like he did in the video for "Outrageous," or a bit of Will.I.Am to make us "Scream & Shout"? Hell, even P!nk and Beyonce singing "We Will Rock You" and sipping on some ice cool Pepsi a la that TV commercial, would more than suffice.

3. A Few Outfit Changes
I'm thinking red pleather leotards, perhaps a schoolgirl or air steward outfit, and maybe a few slithery snake-like accessories.
4. Some Inspirational Quotes
Anyone who follows Ms. Spears on Instagram will know she's full of wisdom:
5. An Array Of Bonkers Facial Expressions
Like the ones she busted out on the regular on X Factor USA that, let's be honest, were the highlight of the show.
Britney's Carpool Karaoke airs August 25th on The Late Late Show.
What Britney tracks would you love to hear belted out during her carpool session?

Hi, all! I've been a longtime lurker on Craftster and I've found a few new hobbies because of all you crafty people. Crochet is one, and being a complete beginner forgive me if this question seems obvious or if this is posted elsewhere.
I didn't want to start off with a scarf, and I feel like I learn best when I jump right in to projects, so my first crochet project is the City Girl Cap on Crochetville (am I allowed to post a link to it? sorry, I'm clueless). It's got some sc, some dc, some hdc, and even some fpdc and bpdc.. a little bit for everyone, I suppose. I finished, and I'm really happy (and I'm a LOT better at crocheting!) but it's a little snug. I'll be making another for a friend, and I need it to be a big larger.
Finally, my question: In general, to enlarge a pattern, could I just use a bigger hook with the same weight yarn? For example, a K instead of a J with worsted weight yarn? Or will I have to alter the pattern somehow? It's only a bit tight, and I'm afraid that if I altered the pattern I would screw it up altogether. I'm sure my gauge is off, but I'm not entirely sure how to correct that, either.
Sorry for the verbose post, but I'm chatty tonight. Thanks in advance for any advise / reference to another source!

The Pension Regulator's new money purchase benefits (DC) code of practice and guides in six key points
The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is replacing Code of Practice no. 13 on governance and administration in defined contribution (DC) schemes. The new Code will be approved in June 2016 and is likely to apply in July 2016. Click here for more detail on the New Code.
The new Code covers:
The new Code sets out the standards that TPR expects of trustees of schemes with money purchase benefits.
It has been designed to have all of the standards of conduct and practice in a single document.
Practical guidance, examples and TPR's recommendations are set out in six separate guides (the Guides). The Guides also set out what TPR believes represents 'best practice' in certain areas.
There is a Guide for each of the six key areas outlined above. Click here for a detailed summary of each Guide.
TPR has used the Guides to set out the processes, procedures, policies and behaviours that it considers reflect best practice.
Most of these concern communicating with members and reporting, but a couple focus on administration. Click here for an overview of the full list.
The Guides include a wide range of useful examples and checklists. These have been designed to help trustees comply with the new Code. Click here for a full list of the examples and checklists that are covered in the Guides.
The new code in more detail
What is the new code?
The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is replacing Code of Practice no. 13: Governance and administration of occupational defined contribution trust-based pension schemes (the current Code) with a new version (the new Code).
The new Code also has a new name. It will now be known as Code of practice no. 13: Governance and administration of occupational trust-based schemes providing money purchase benefits. This is a subtle emphasis that the new Code will apply in respect of money purchase benefits even if they are provided in otherwise defined benefit schemes (e.g. Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs).
The new Code is intended to be:
- comprehensive - all of the standards expected of trustees will be set out in the new Code;
- clear and unambiguous; and
- short and simple - the new Code does not include practical guidance, examples and 'how to' guides.
A revised draft of the new Code was presented to Parliament on 9 May 2016. This draft incorporated comments from TPR's consultation. TPR cannot issue the new Code for 40 days from the date it is presented to Parliament.
The new Code is therefore expected to come into force in late June / early July 2016.
Who will the new code apply to?
The new Code will apply to trustees of:
- occupational trust-based pension schemes;
- with two or more members (whether active, deferred or pensioner); and
- schemes that offer money purchase benefits (including Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) within defined benefit (DB) schemes).
A broad range of schemes will therefore be subject to the new Code. These include:
- DC schemes;
- DC sections within schemes offering mixed benefits;
- money purchase additional AVCs within occupational DB schemes; and
- money purchase benefits with a DB underpin,

2014 saw a wide range of employment issues presented before the 11th Circuit. This article seeks to highlight some of the more frequently cited 11th Circuit opinions from last year. The updates below, although not earth shattering to employment lawyers, serve as a reminder of the continued need for careful attention to detail in regards to HR issues.
Waiver of FMLA Rights?
On April 8, 2014 the 11th Circuit decided Paylor v. Hartford Fire Ins. Co., 748 F.3d 1117 (2014) holding that a severance agreement waiving an employee's claims under the Family Medical Leave Act ("FMLA"), barred the employee's right to bring suit for leave which was outstanding at the time she executed the waiver. Following a decline in the employee's performance, the employee was given an ultimatum to either accept a severance agreement featuring an FMLA waiver provision or agree to a performance improvement plan ("PIP"). The employee chose the severance package and subsequently brought suit against the employer claiming the ultimatum posed constituted FMLA retaliation. Plaintiff alleged that the waiver did not bar her claim because pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 825.220(d) an employee cannot waive "prospective" FMLA rights. At the time that she signed the waiver, her FMLA leave request was outstanding. Consequently, she alleged that the waiver could not bar her outstanding request because it would constitute a prospective application. The Court defined "prospective rights" to mean those rights allowing an employee to invoke FMLA protections at some unspecified time in the future; a waiver of something that has not yet occurred (i.e. an employer cannot offer new employees a one-time cash payment in exchange for a waiver of any future FMLA claims). Thereafter, because the true act complained of was the ultimatum presented, and such ultimatum was posed the day before execution of the waiver, plaintiff's FMLA claim was barred. Additionally, the Court upheld the waiver because it was signed knowingly and voluntarily.
Employees Claiming "Me Too"?
Title VII - Discrimination
In the context of Title VII, one of the most horrendous allegations of racial discrimination to come out last year was in Adams v. Austal, U.S.A., L.L.C., 754 F.3d 1240 (2014). In Adams, 24 African American current and former employees filed suit against Austal, a custom aluminum supply company, based on allegations of racial discrimination. The case was initiated following reports that the men's restroom was frequently marred with graffiti spewing racial epithets (i.e. "see ------ travel in packs just like monkeys;" "white is right;" "KKK is getting bigger;" and "[h]ow do you starve a ----- to death? Hide his food stamp card in his work boots.") The bathroom graffiti became so prevalent that the employer eventually painted the bathroom walls black. Moreover, employees allegedly found eight nooses around the workplace and were allegedly subjected to an environment tolerating Confederate flag paraphernalia worn by white counterparts. As heinous as such allegations were, the 11th Circuit upheld dismissal of the case as to 6 of the plaintiffs, based in part on the legal principal that a reasonable person in the position of those 6 employees would not have found their environment abusive where they worked in different departments, for different supervisors, and either were not aware of the discrimination until after their employment ended or only became aware upon initiation of discovery. In evaluating whether the employees experienced an objectively hostile work environment, courts may not consider evidence of racial harassment affecting other employees of which plaintiffs are not aware but only learn subsequent thereto - otherwise known as "me too" evidence.
Preventing Class Actions Under FLSA
The question posed in Walthour v. Chipio Windshield Repair, LLC, 745 F.3d 1326 (2014) was whether an arbitration provision waiving an employee's ability to bring a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") was enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act. Language in the employee's arbitration agreement stated that, "By signing this agreement, employee and employer are each giving up his/her/its right to a jury trial and his/her/its right to participate in a class action because all claims will be resolved exclusively through arbitration. Employee and Employer agree that each may bring claims against the other only in his/her/its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. . ." The Court held that the arbitration provision was enforceable and that accordingly, plaintiff could arbitrate an individual FLSA claim but not a collective action. Although the plaintiff argued that such requirement was in violation of the spirit of the FLSA, the Court determined that Congress had not intended for the collective action provision to be essential to the vindication of an employee's FLSA rights. Effectively, this theory has barred plaintiff from pursuing a collective action on behalf of similarly situated employees because the named plaintiff is compelled to arbitrate his/her claims under an arbitration agreement which does not allow that same employee to proceed with arbitration on behalf of other current or former employees.
Timeliness of Actions
ADEA, Title VII, and Retaliation
In Georgia, a charge of discrimination against an employer must be filed within 180 days after the alleged unlawful employment action. The 180-day clock starts ticking at the time the employee received notice of the adverse employment action. Relatedly, a discrimination charge is deemed filed upon receipt, and any amendments thereto alleging unlawful employment practices related to or growing out of the original charge, relate back to the date of the charge. It is based on these aforementioned principals, that the Court in Kelly v. Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., 557 F. App'x. 896 (2014) found that many of plaintiff's claims were barred. A plaintiff's suit is limited by the scope of the EEOC investigation and allegations of new acts are not appropriate absent prior EEOC consideration. Therefore, some of plaintiff's claims in Bradstreet could not be heard where many claims were untimely and/or did not relate back to or grow out of his EEOC charge, indicating plaintiff's failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
Relief of Specific Job Duties ≠ Adverse Employment Action
Title VII - Retaliation
In Grimes v. Miami Dade County, 552 F. App'x. 902 (2014) an employee working for the Miami Dade Aviation Department made allegations of retaliation after being relieved of certain job responsibilities because she claimed such action was taken in retaliation to an EEOC charge she had previously filed against another county agency. She further contended that a reduction in job responsibilities constituted a demotion. The Court held that such adjustment to plaintiff's job responsibilities did not constitute an adverse employment action where it involved no material change in the terms and conditions or privileges of employment. Moreover, plaintiff retained the same job description, same work location and did not receive a reduced salary. Therefore, no adverse employment action existed and her retaliation claim failed.
Revoking Job Offers
The past year has also highlighted problems that can arise when an employer obtains information subsequent to extending a job offer, impacting its decision to hire and invoking a need to rescind the employer's offer.
In March 2014, the plaintiff in Samson v. Federal Express Corp., 746 F.3d 1196 (2014) brought suit against FedEx. FedEx offered plaintiff a job as a technician conditioned on passing a Department of Transportation ("DOT") medical exam required of certain commercial motor vehicle drivers. FedEx subsequently rescinded the offer after plaintiff failed to pass the exam. Plaintiff's failure was due to his diabetes. Samson contended that his application was for a mechanics position and not a commercial truck driving position. Consequently, plaintiff alleged that such requirement relating to the passage of a DOT medical exam was an imposition in violation of the ADA. Denying summary judgment, the Court found sufficient issue of fact regarding whether test-driving trucks was an essential function of plaintiff's job, substantiating the need to pass such exam.
Later in 2014, the Court decided Wetherbee v. Southern Co., 754 F.3d 901 (2014), another employment rescission case. In Wetherbee for the first time, the 11th Circuit determined that a bi-polar employee seeking relief under ADA Section 12112(d)(3)(C) prohibiting discrimination based on misuse of information obtained during a post-offer medical exam, was required to show that he was a qualified individual with a disability.
The "I'm Glad It Wasn't Me" Moment: Shotgun Pleadings Tick-Off the 11th Circuit
Attorney Lesson of the Day
Finally, there are lessons in-house counsel can learn from 2014's opinions. In one of the more amusing opinions published by the 11th Circuit, the Court in Paylor v. Hartford Fire Ins. Co., 748 F.3d 1117 (2014), published a one and a half page diatribe admonishing counsel for failing to narrow the issues in an FMLA case and allowing a shotgun pleading to proceed. The Court admonished that counsel could have saved themselves, their clients, and the Court considerable time, expense, and heartache had they only paused to better identify the issues before diving into discovery. A shotgun pleading is one in which each count adopts the allegations of all preceding counts, resulting in the allegation of facts that may be material to one count but not to another. Nonetheless, because the latter counts adopt the former's allegations of fact, it is nearly impossible to know which allegations are intended to support the basis of each claim for relief, leaving the complaint virtually useless. Arguably, shotgun pleadings are not an uncommon occurrence amongst employment suits. In such situations, the Court noted that defense should make greater use of Rule 12(b)(6), motions to dismiss and Rule 12(e), requests for a more definitive statement. The Court in Paylor bemoaned, "[t]hat such a straightforward dispute metastasized into the years-long discovery sinkhole before us on appeal is just the latest instantiation of the 'shotgun pleading' problem." Nailing the coffin shut, the Court stated that the failure of the attorneys to refrain from, and defend against such pleadings resulted in a "discovery goat rodeo" and the delivery of "this mess to the District Court."

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Gettting To & Arriving In Anaheim
by Paul on 05/27/07 at 08:30 AM ET

from Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun,
The captain of the plane has heard of them, too. His name is Nate. He's from California.
"Who do you like in the Senators-Ducks series?" we ask upon disembarking.
"The Senators," he says, guessing we're from Ottawa and that's what we wanted to hear.
"In what?" I demand. "Five? Seven?"
"In nine," he replies.
Wouldn't be funny if he was joking.
As hard as it may be to believe, the whole world actually has not stopped to watch the battle for Lord Stanley's coveted mug. Not even the whole of Anaheim.
added 9:40am, from the Edmonton Journal,
And he, like Michael Russell, has a hard time naming one Ducks player.
"Oh, wait—there's what's-his name—Muselanney."
"You mean Teemu Selanne?"
"Yeah, him."

With the participation of nearly 140 members of the Gardere Gearheads team in this spring's annual Bike MS: SAM'S CLUB Ride, the Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP attorneys and staff surpassed the $2 million lifetime fundraising mark for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
On May 5, 2012, the Gardere Gearheads commenced the Bike MS: SAM'S CLUB Ride at Dr Pepper Ballpark in Frisco, Texas. After pedaling 152 miles, the group finished the course the following day at Texas Motor Speedway.
The annual ride presents a unique team building opportunity for Gardere, with 2012 marking the Firm's eighth year of participation in the North Texas event. Gearhead team members gathered to train and develop fundraising strategies months prior to the ride, which helps the fight against multiple sclerosis.
Attorneys, staff, family members, clients and friends of the Firm worked together to make this one of the most successful events yet. Of special note was team member Claude Treece, Gardere's operating partner, who rode in both the 183-mile BP MS 150 from Houston to Austin in April and the Bike MS: SAM'S CLUB Ride in May.
This year, the fundraising total for the Gardere Gearheads exceeded $121,000 and continues to grow. Combined with the Houston-based Team Gardere, a top-20 fundraiser in the BP MS 150, the Firm's combined contribution for 2012 exceeds $291,000. Gardere's lifetime cumulative contribution for both events has surpassed $2.1 million.
"I and each of the Gearheads had the blessing of being able to do something that many with multiple sclerosis can only dream of–riding a bike 150 miles," says Gardere Gearheads Captain Keith Novick. "From this perspective, it was our privilege to participate in Bike MS."
Gardere's participation in the rides began about 12 years ago as a show of support when Firm attorney John Pearson was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. One of the team's most dedicated members, Mr. Pearson has ridden with the team each year.

Two IU Projects Honored
Two IU faculty and staff projects were honored at the recent Angel Users Conference, a gathering of over 450 educators on using the ANGEL course management system in May 2007.
Dr. Donald Wong, Indiana University School of Medicine, Dept. of Anatomy Faculty & Course Director, won one of two an "Exemplary ANGEL Course" awards for Neuroscience and Clinical neurology D852. The citation read Dr. Wong's extensive, robust use of ANGEL in the regular classroom showcases the value ANGEL adds to traditional, face-to-face classes, and as a model for the ANGEL community, earned a 2007 ANGEL IMPACT Award.
All IUSM second year medical students, Ph.D. and doctor of physical therapy students are enrolled in Neuroscience and Clinical Neurology D852 to study neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, brain vasculature, clinical aspects of the nervous system and the anatomy of the brain. In ANGEL, course director Donald Wong found innovative ways to deliver course content that includes elaborate use of audio recordings, animation, photographs and illustrations that capitalize on the easy-to-use content management capabilities
Michael Bangert, Assistant Director of Educational Technology/Lead Developer; Amy Hatfield, Digital Initiatives Librarian/Developer won an award for "Exemplary ANGEL Program" for the Clinical Encounters Real-Time Tracking System.
Indiana University School of Medicine's CERTTS integrates a PDA-based clinical experience logging system with ANGEL. The first system of its kind in the country, CERTTS adds a 2007 ANGEL IMPACT Award to numerous accolades and recognition of IUSM as a national leader in medical education technology.
CERTTS meets Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) directives and Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) requirements that medical students' clinical experiences be tracked. ANGEL's flexibility enabled IUSM to tailor its ANGEL implementation to meet these medical school specific needs. The system records and reports more than 200,000 clinical encounters by 560 IUSM

InMotion Hosting Benefits
Before I get to the InMotion hosting review I want to talk a bit about the benefits of a VPS host. It's been four months since I moved this blog to InMotion hosting, which I wrote about in my post, WassupBlog Now Hosted On a VPS Host. I reckon enough time has gone by and it's time for me to write a InMotion Hosting review. As I mentioned in that post the first thing I noticed once WassupBlog went live is the vast increase in speed. This is important because we all know how much Google loves a site that loads quickly. In fact, I've heard it said that a site's PR can be affected if it loads slowly.
I have to admit I was sad about leaving BlueHost because they were a great host but unfortunately WassupBlog outgrew them. My love for plugins probably attributed to that and I knew it was only a matter of time before I had to say my goodbyes. After some research I decided on InMotion hosting partly because of the cost, partly because of the good reviews but mainly because they used, and included cPanel for free. Over the years I've come to love cPanel as its a powerful web hosting control panel that lets you easily manage your website, email and so much more.
Probably the biggest benefit, something that I only found out about after moving, is that a VPS host gives you a lot more security. As you all know this blog previously was always hosted on shared hosting sites. This means that hundreds of other sites were hosted alongside me. What I didn't know was that if a majority of those sites had a bad rep with Google it was quite possible they were passing some of their bad reputation to me. If I had known of that possibility I would have moved a lot sooner.
I've always prided myself on maintaining a clean site, one free from any malicious software. Unfortunately I can't vouch for other sites and it seems that if the hosting account of a particular user of a shared hosting server is corrupted with malicious files then all the accounts on that server could be affected. Something else I didn't know. This means that VPS hosting offers you a lot better security.
I'm sure most of you at one time or another have had a warning from host warning you that your account would be suspended or terminated if it's discovered that you suddenly are using more resources than you're allowed. This occurs even though many web hosting companies advertise that there have "unlimited" resources and hosting available. It's this particular message that has forced me to move from several hosts. What I found to be most distressing was the way they not only took the offending site offline but all the sites Read the rest of this entry

Creating a Clean Energy Economy
Protecting our environment is more than just protecting our quality of life. It's good economic policy. Senator Sokola is working to power our economic recovery through the promotion of clean energy jobs. With smart energy policies and environmental clean-up, Delaware will reap the benefits for years to come.
Protect Our Great Open Spaces
Our farmland and remaining open spaces are under tremendous development pressure. To preserve them for our children and future generations, Dave Sokola won a commitment to dedicate $10 million each year into the Farmland Preservation Fund. And he was one of only a few senators to oppose legislation that would have undermined the Open Space Act by allowing irresponsible development.
Building Consensus To Use Our Resources Wisely
Dave Sokola knows that the best way to protect our environment is to get everybody involved. That's why he sponsored the "Shaping Delaware's Future Act" to require comprehensive planning and curb out-of-control development. Dave also worked with county officials, civic groups, and communities to achieve a creative flood control solution for New Castle County.
* Helped implement the Pike Creek restoration project
* Worked to protect the Judge Morris Estate from development
* Helped preserve the Deerfield Property from development
* Co-sponsored legislation to provide reliable funding for open space preservation through the Farmland Preservation Trust
* Protected Delawareans from high arsenic levels in the soil
* Regulating aboveground chemical storage tanks
* Currently fighting to protect the Three Little Bakers golf course from being developed

People reached in 2016
people benefitted from our camp management work
In urgent crises and complex emergencies, a camp may be the only option. We see to it that camps are safe places, offering access to services, shelter and protection. NRC helps manage camps so that men, women and children can live with dignity after fleeing their homes.
What is camp management?
Large planned camps, spontaneous sites, collective centres and transit areas all require careful management and coordination. They are often located against a backdrop of danger.
Camp management is one of NRC's six activities in the field. Our teams ensure that displaced people receive camp services in a cohesive, effective way:
- We support coordination so that programmes align with national and international laws, guidelines and technical standards.
- We identify gaps and needs to ensure efficient assistance.
- We gather information and use it to advocate on behalf of the displaced.
- We include the displaced in making decisions about their life in the camp.
NRC's camp management house
NRC's camp management house illustrates our holistic approach: assistance and protection underpinned by international law and participation.
How does NRC manage and coordinate camps?
NRC has been a global leader in camp coordination and management for more than a decade. From Myanmar to Palestine, our work involves:
- Supporting partners with site setup, structure and oversight.
- Data collection and information management.
- Upholding governance and community participation.
- Monitoring services and gaps.
- Community outreach programmes in non-camp settings.
Camp coordination and camp management make up one of the clusters in the global cluster approach. The international community uses the approach to better coordinate humanitarian aid. Since 2005, NRC has been one of the leading agencies in this cluster.
We also deploy experts with UN agencies and other organisations. From 2014-2015, nearly 200 camp experts deployed to more than 30 countries. Read more about our camp expert deployments.
The majority of displaced people reside outside of camps. So we adapt our camp approach to also help people in urban areas. Read our joint study on Urban Displacement Outside of Camp (UDOC), which finds ways to improve assistance for these displaced people.
Since 2005, NRC has been one of the leading agencies in camp management. Drawing on our expertise, we were one of the few to help develop the Camp Management Toolkit. The toolkit gives official guidelines on the setup and running of camps and settlements, both in emergencies and long-term situations.
Read more about the latest toolkit, released in 2015.

Peep Show
Updated: August 7, 2003, 11:48 AM ETBy By Darrell Trimble | ESPN Insider
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: QB Jim Miller, who is recovering from offseason rotator cuff surgery, still isn't ready to fully participate in practice but he has started throwing again. After making some light tosses while the Bucs were in Japan last week, Miller threw extensively on the side for the first time during Wednesday morning's workout and experienced no pain. "I'm just working my way back into it right now, but there was no elbow pain so it went well," Miller told the Tampa Tribune. "The big thing now is to get the strength back. If I can do that then I can take a hit on it." Miller remains hopeful that he'll be ready to play by the last preseason game. New York Giants: Bus Cook, the agent for the rookie DT William Joseph, was upset at comments made by GM Ernie Accorsi on Tuesday. Accorsi, who was upset that Joseph held out for 12 days, said the negotiation of Joseph's contract had made him appreciate the professionalism of other agents. In response, Cook told the New York Times: "It makes me appreciate dealing with teams that want to get players to camp on time. I've been in this business a long time and I've never had any holdouts. This is the first. Ernie doesn't need to talk about professionalism. When you send somebody an offer on July 22, and camp starts the day after next, you know good and well you're not going to get the deal done on time. I don't appreciate the remarks he made, and I've never talked to the man. For him to make an attack on me is certainly uncalled for in light of the fact they waited until the 12th hour."
