Mark Udall, a tireless advocate for Colorado's aerospace industry and innovation-based economy, welcomed the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee's inclusion of funding for a Colorado-based satellite program, the second generation of the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC), in its science funding bill. The satellite program, which Udall fought for, is estimated to inject $120 million into Colorado over ten years through the Boulder-based University Corporation for Atmospheric Research and other program partners. It also is expected to create around 400 jobs in the state.
The COSMIC-2 program, a collaboration between Taiwan and the United States, will deploy a total of 12 satellites into low-Earth orbit to monitor the global atmosphere and vastly improve weather forecasting and climate monitoring -- a mission critically important to preventing the needless loss of life or property.
"This funding for the COSMIC-2 program that I've fought for is further evidence that Colorado is at the forefront of aerospace and scientific development," Udall said. "I look forward to seeing the results of this strategic investment in a cutting-edge program as well as how it helps attract the best and brightest scientists and engineers to our great state."
Udall is a strong proponent of Colorado's aerospace industry and has fought to ensure that Colorado is home to innovative companies and job creators. Udall recently welcomed a collaborative effort between NASA and Broomfield-based Ball Aerospace to work on NASA's new Green Propellant Infusion Mission.

Should of bought a PC lol jk sorry to hear about your dilemma. Try connecting through VMWare or whatever its called where you have a virtual windows xp or 7 type deal.
I am sure someone will answer your Q, shortly..
IDK what you are even talking about haha...
I had the same issue this morning. I have not had time to look closer at it. let me know if you come up with a solution.
Sure thing. Do you have a mac?
Yup! MBP running Snow Leopard.
I am now.. but I highly recommending you to get SYSTEM 76, that's SOLUTION.. lol!
i clicked on that link and im still not quite sure what your talking about..
I just talked to tmo CS and she really made me mad. she kept giving me instructions on how to mount it to a mac and talking to me like i was 5 years old. this whole thing is not making me happy.
found the solution Just enable usb debugging this is great news for me
^5 Thanks man! That worked for me!
Sometimes we just can't play nice in the sandbox.
Hey I'm a PC user, and I'm not familiar with Macs, but try switching USB ports. For some reason on PC's, this works more times than not.
Give it a try!
your holding it wrong (sorry I just had to) lol
I understand duct tape works pretty well with most Apple products. Give it a shot!
Haha... well played.
hey guys so after i bought the vibrant, i wanted to upload my songs to the phone but it won't show up. i have a mac btw and please, if you're going to make windows jokes, please don't. i'm looking for any and all help, and that would be greatly appreciated. basically i plug it in the computer and it doesn't show up after i mount it on my phone
Try turning on USB debugging. Settings -> Applications -> Development.
when you plug your phone in, I believe you have to pull down the top menu (where the battery,time etc; are) and choose the option of transferring files to the phone or something like that.
If you have Windows 7 64 bit heres a link to the drivers:
Samsung Vibrant, Captivate, Epic 4G, and Fascinate [Galaxy S Driver Download]!
Just install them, It worked great for me and im already rooted.
Edit: Sorry didn't see you had a Mac, in that case no drivers are needed
Can't get it to connect no matter what I do. Two drives show up in Computer but I can't open them.
Pull down the menu from the top and mount the USB.
Bingo. That did it. Thanks!!

Murney Tower
|Murney Point, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
|Martello tower
|UNESCO World Heritage Site
|(Unknown Session)
Murney Tower is a Martello tower in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, whose construction dates to 1846 and the Oregon crisis. While officially designated as Murray Tower, locals call it Murney Tower, as it was built on Murney Point (which was owned by the Murney family at the time). The Murneys have since relocated to the Cobourg area. Eventually the fort's name was changed to coincide with local usage.
Its builders intended that Murney (then Murray) Tower complement the fortifications of Fort Henry, Ontario, Cathcart Tower on Cedar Island, Shoal Tower in the Confederation Basin and Fort Frederick on the grounds of the Royal Military College of Canada. In addition to protecting the harbour and approaches to Kingston, these fortifications were designed to concentrate fire on Gardiners Island; it being the only place to effectively land artillery at the time. The tower stands surrounded by a dry-ditch and is accessible only by draw-bridge. Constructed of limestone, Murney's walls are about 3 metres thick on the land side and up to 5 metres thick on the lakeside. The main floor (ground level) was the barracks level and has two internal 32-lb caronade cannon directed out shuttered loops. These cannon could be moved about the interior embrasures, and so cover multiple approaches, including draw-bridge. The lower floor contained the ventilated magazine, storage, and infantry loopholes to scatter shot inside a dry-ditch. The uppermost level is the artillery platform which supports a large cannon (32-lbs) that could be rotated along an iron track, thus providing full coverage about the tower's circumference. A 'rapid removal' roof was later added to protect the gun and keep out the large amounts of snow that did not figure into the Mediterranean design of the tower. The addition of a roof is a common feature on Canadian Martellos.
Despite being state-of-the-art during construction, Murney Tower, along with most Martellos at this time, became rapidly obsolescent due to improvements made in gun, shot, and ship design. Because of this, and changes of military defense strategy, Murney was later converted into a familial barracks for an officer and his large family. After the turn of the previous century, habitation was discontinued and for a time there were no definite plans for the tower. One plan included removing the upper level of the tower and placing a large statue of Sir John A. MacDonald atop. In 1921 a windstorm removed the original wooden roof, and the replacement roof does not allow for rapid removal as originally intended.
Murney Tower is a National Historic Site of Canada,[1][2] managed and maintained by the Kingston Historical Society, who operates it as a military museum during the summer months (May — End of August). Displays include three cannon (32-lbs), period uniforms, muskets, and other mid 19th century military artifacts.
Although 16 Martello towers were built in Canada, only 11 are still standing, four of them in Kingston. Two of these towers, Murney Tower and Fort Frederick are open to the public and contain museums. Fort Frederick houses the Royal Military College of Canada Museum.
The tower is part of the Rideau Canal and Kingston Fortifications World Heritage Site.[3]

Gran Tierra's Flagship Environmental Initiative in Collaboration with Conservation International
Gran Tierra Energy in partnership with international conservation NGO, Conservation International is undertaking a significant environmental initiative in the Putumayo Region of Colombia.
Conservation International is a non-government organization, well known for implementing and managing nature conservation projects around the world.
On January 30, 2017 after several months of planning and discussion, Gran Tierra and Conservation International signed an agreement to launch NaturAmazonas, a five year reforestation and conservation program to be implemented by Conservation International in the Putumayo.
This initiative has been developed with the participation and support of the Colombia Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development as well as with the participation and support of Corpoamazonia.
It is our hope that the initiative will benefit not only the natural environment but also will bring economic and social development to the Putumayo region, in the Post Conflict era.
This initiative emphasizes Gran Tierra's long term commitment to responsible resource development as well as our firm belief that our activities and presence should coincide with a healthy environment and prosperous communities.
For more information on NaturAmazonas we encourage you to visit the Conservation International site.

Discussion in 'Linea 1.3 MJD' started by kailasmenon2000, Feb 27, 2014.
Nagercoil looks like Scotland in your pictures but for those donkeys
It is always known that Fiat car owners do have a sence of beauty and it reflects in your photos
Hahaha...thank you... And btw those were cows, standing afraid, waiting for me to pass
Very Picturesque kailas!! Wallpaper material(except the last one - courtesy cows )
fftopic Did earlier linea have tow hook place in rear bumper as seen in your Pic? Mine 2013 Jet did not have the cap at rear. Where did they moved the hook or removed it all together ?
Thank you Abhishek... Yes..Earlier model have it like this. Im sorry, no idea where they moved it. May be someone else might be able to give an answer
Awesome Pics! Which road is that?
That was a wrong route shown by google maps when I was travelling from Trivandrum. It skipped Nagercoil town and joined in a place called Aralvaimozhi. But the road condition was partially pathetic!
Service History - 75k
Got the car back in perfect condition. Had a good experience dealing with RDC & the SA Santharaj.
Here are the works done
1. Brake pads & Discs changed
2. Shock up & Elastic pad LH changed
3. Timing chain complete set changed
4. Wiper nozzle changed
5. Engine Oil
6. Oil Filter
7. Air Filter
8. Fuel Filter
9. AC Filter
10. Plug Oil Sump
12. Blue & Me Cleaning
13. Car wash
The car is much smoother now. Planning to solve the AC issue from an outside mechanic as the quote given by him is considerably less. RDC gave a quote of Rs.8500 for changing the AC Coil, O Rings including the labour where as the outside mechanic gave a quote of Rs.6000. He said he'll be using the OE coil with 6 months warranty.
There was a problem with blue & me connectivity & USB reading. It got solved by cleaning the blue & me unit.
Labour charges are high but overall Im satisfied with the service.
Here are the pics of the bill.
I am smelling foul with the labour charges. Why there is no split for the labour?
I asked them...But they said this is how they give bill. But when the estimate was given they had told me the spare amount & labour charges separately...So I didn't force them..
Separate names with a comma.

Susan Boyle became a household name after she appeared on Britain's Got Talent in 2009. Previously, there were claims saying that the fragile singing superstar had brain damage. Now, she reveals for the first time that she has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism.
In an interview with The Observer, the mezzo-soprano said: "I have always known that I have had an unfair label put upon me. That made me more determined to be where I want to be."
"Asperger's doesn't define me. It's a condition that I have to live with and work through, but I feel more relaxed about myself. People will have a greater understanding of who I am and why I do the things I do."
The National Autistic Society defines Asperger Syndrome as having "similarities with autism, [though] people with Asperger syndrome have fewer problems with speaking and are often of average, or above average, intelligence". It adds that they "may have specific learning difficulties", but do not usually have the "disabilities associated with autism".

Über diesen Titel
Three days a week, visitors from around the world enter the chapel of a small home in Worcester, Massachusetts. They have come to witness the Communion host that suddenly manifested a dark stain of blood during a Mass in this very room. Most of all, they have come to be near Audrey, the teenage girl who lies in a bedroom at the other end of the house.
Unable to move or speak after a near-drowning accident when she was three years old, Audrey is believed by many to be the source of the miracles in her home. Her family reports that she suffers the stigmata- the bloody suffering of Christ-- every Lenten season. Pilgrims to the Santo home and to Audrey's annual public "outings" claim to have been healed of cancer and other diseases. Lying in her little room, she is surrounded by medical equipment, including a respirator that keeps her alive, round-the-clock care-- and the prayers of her family and countless thousands who believe she has been touched by God.
Audrey Santo, the silent soul at the center of one of America's most famous religious pilgrimage sites, touches the hearts of everyone who hears her story. The doctors who treat her are bewildered by her survival. And her mother, a devout Catholic who has never given up hope that Audrey will fully awaken one day, believes Audrey is "a statement of life in our culture of death."
Is Audrey a messenger of God, part of a divine plan to strengthen people's faith? Or is she a severely disabled girl whose devout, loving family has drawn a miraculous circle of belief around her? What are the nonreligious explanations for the strange phenomena occurring in the Santo home? What is the Catholic Church's view, as announced in the first official report of its ongoing investigation? Is Audrey a "victim soul," taking on the illness and suffering of others? Did she receive this sacred call from Mary when her mother took her to the apparition room at Medjugorje? These questions and more are explored in Silent Soul, a thoughtful, fascinating journey into one of the world's most compelling modern mysteries.
Antonia Felix is the author of twelve nonfiction books, including a four-book science series for children, a cultural history of Christmas in America, and several biographies, including Andrea Bocelli: A Celebration, which has been published in three languages. She lives in New York City with her husband.

So I'm almost positive this will be a negative, despite the symptoms.

No, we haven't officially been TTC, just NTNP - and I think we'll probably start TTC soon if this isn't a positive. So the most in-depth I've gotten is tracking my periods SOMETIMES on an app, and guessing my O days.

BIDEN Resolution Designates May 2008 as National Drug Court Month
Today Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (D-DE) introduced a resolution designating May 2008 as "National Drug Court Month" to help increase awareness about the existence and effectiveness of drug courts and other diversion programs that offer alternatives to prison. The resolution (S. Res. 534) also urges local, state and federal officials to help expand and robustly fund these treatment programs throughout the country.
"There's no question that drug courts save lives," said Sen. Biden, author of the landmark 1994 Biden Crime Law, which created the drug court program. "These programs are some of the most cost-effective and proven approaches to breaking the cycle of drug addiction and crime that infect our communities. I hope that during National Drug Court Month we can all celebrate drug courts' important role in saving lives and communities."
Drug courts combine intensive supervision, drug testing and treatment for non-violent first offenders. Across the country, over 2,100 drug courts have helped hundreds of thousands of people confront their addictions to drugs or alcohol and choose a path toward a more productive life. Delaware's Drug Court Program began full operation in April 1994. These specialized courts, in Delaware and nationwide, place offenders in an environment where they undergo regular treatment and counseling, submit to frequent and random drug testing, make regular appearances before a judge and are monitored closely for program compliance.
A recent study by the Pew Center found that more than 2.3 million people are in prisons and jails across the United States; 1 in 100 adults in the United States are behind bars. Many of these inmates suffer from an addiction and committed their crime while high or to obtain money for a drug dependency problem. Incarceration costs burden state and local budgets, and drug courts can significantly reduce that burden while helping individuals get their lives on track.
With an ever-growing population of drug-addicted offenders in the justice system, drug courts play a critical role in national drug control strategy. A 2005 report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found drug court program participants were less likely to be rearrested or reconvicted than those who did not participate in drug court programs. The report also concluded that a conservative estimate of the net benefits to society of sending a non-violent offender through a drug court program ranges from about $1,000 per participant to about $15,000.

In the payroll world, everything begins with gross pay. That is, all other calculations for employee pay, overtime, withholding and deductions are based on gross pay. Because this is an important concept, this article will give you all the details about calculating gross pay and using it in other calculations.

What Is Gross Pay?

Gross pay for an employee is the amount used to calculate that employees' wages (for an hourly employee) or salary (for a salaried employees.

For both salaried and hourly employees, the calculation is based on an agreed-upon amount for gross pay. That is, both the employee and employer have agreed that this is the pay rate.The pay rate should be in writing and signed by both employee an employer.

For hourly employees, that pay rate might be negotiated by a union contract. For salaried employees, that rate might be in an employment contract, or just a pay letter. In each case, the gross pay rate should be agreed to and signed before the employee begins working.

How to Calculate Gross Pay — in General

 In general, here is how gross pay is calculated:

 Hourly Gross Pay
Hourly gross pay is calculated by multiplying the number of hours worked in the pay period times the hourly pay rate. Overtime pay is also included in the gross pay calculation.

 Salaried Gross Pay
Gross pay for salaried employees is calculated by dividing the total annual pay for that employee by the number of pay periods in a year. For example, if a salaried employee's annual pay is $30,000, and he or she is paid twice a month, the gross pay for each of the 24 pay periods is $1250.

Details on How to Calculate Gross Pay for Salaried Employees

Start with the employee's annual salary and divide by the number of pay periods in a year. That amount is the employee's gross pay for the pay period. Here is an example, if an employee makes $24,000 a year, and your company pays twice a month, that's 24 pay periods in a year, so the gross pay for each pay period is $1,000.

Add any other pay that the employee received, such as reimbursements. Bonuses may be added to the paycheck but they are more commonly paid in a separate check.

Subtract any unpaid time off (unusual for a salaried employee).

Salaried employees do not receive overtime pay if their weekly pay is over a specific amount. Read more about when overtime pay is required for salaried employees.

An example of gross pay calculation for a salaried employee: A salaried employee has an annual salary of $47,000 a year. The salaried employees at this company are paid on the 15th and 30th of each month (twice a month). The $47,000 is divided by 24 to get $1958.33, which is the gross pay for each pay period.

Details of How to Calculate Gross Pay for Hourly Employees

Take the information on the employee's hours worked from the timesheet or other way you record employee time.

Calculate regular pay by multiplying the total hours worked in the pay period (not including overtime hours) times the employee's hourly pay rate.

Check to see if the employee has worked any overtime hours. You must pay overtime at a minimum of 1 1/2 times regular hourly pay for any hours worked over 40 hours in a week, and calculate overtime pay.

Add any other pay the employee may receive, such as a reimbursement.

An example of how to calculate hourly gross pay: Let's say an employee is paid $5 an hour and worked 43 hours in a work week and you pay overtime at 1 1/2 times for all hours over 40.

First, calculate regular pay: $5 x 40 hours = $200

Then, calculate overtime pay $5 x 1.5 x 3 hours = $22.50

The total gross pay for the weekly pay period is $222.50

How Gross Pay Is Used for Payroll and Payroll Taxes

As noted above, gross pay is the starting point for other calculations. In every case, the individual calculation begins with gross pay. That is, the calculations are independent of each other.

Calculating overtime pay for hourly employees (and some salaried employees)

Calculating and withholding federal and state income taxes

Calculating and withholding FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare)

Calculating other deductions and benefits.

In addition, gross pay is used for some calculations regarding Social Security maximums and additional Medicare taxes. The gross pay calculation appears on the employee's W-2 form. and gross pay for all employees is accumulated on IRS Form 941, the quarterly payroll tax report form.

You can see that it's important that gross pay be calculated correctly.

Mumbai, Maharashtra India (PressExposure) March 04, 2011 -- ECube Global College having a transparent and strategic association with Newcastle University offers twining programmes in India in various courses in Engineering. Students will be completing their first year of the Engineering course with ECube Global in India in May 2011 and will proceed to the University for the second and third years in September, 2011.
Dr. John Terry, Head of the International Office at Newcastle University, came to India on 24th Feb, 2011 to meet his students in advance and to reassure them that their transition to the University will be smooth and seamless. He has assured that the students can arrive at the University up to one month before their semester begins. They will be taken around campus, given additional lectures to acquaint them to the teaching procedures, will be introduced to the culture of Newcastle and guaranteed campus accommodations.
Dr. John Terry also added that Newcastle University is ranked among the top 20 universities in UK with nearly 4000 international students taking admission every year. The International Student Barometer, 2010, ranked Newcastle University as 2nd in the world for their excellent Careers Service whilst the 2011 Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey saw Newcastle University rise 7 places to 13th in the UK.
The students' library at Newcastle, known as The Robinson Library, has 1 million plus books and an extensive online catalogue of publications. It has been awarded the national charter mark for excellence in customer service for 5 times in a row. Online services can be accessed by ECube Global College students during their first year of their courses in India.
"This seminar was organized for the students because the lure of the far-off land, the thrill of crossing the seven seas, the dream of studying in a foreign university is still very much sought after by many Indian students. Those who pursue their academic dreams overseas should be mentally prepared to take on responsibility for all aspects of their lives'," said Mr. Sandeep Goenka, Director, ECube Global College.
When asked about their association with ECube Global and the recent incident on foreign visas to the USA, Dr. John Terry added, 'The credibility of the universities can be easily verified on the internet. With regards to ECube Global College, we have recognized our association with them on the university India pages. Also, we are pleased to acknowledge the commitment and sincerity of the college in handling the students, our curriculum as well as the association." said Dr. John Terry, Head of the International Office, Newcastle University. "As part of our commitment to the association, Newcastle University has placed a member of Academic Staff from the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering in ECube on a permanent basis" added Dr Terry.
The University is expecting a majority of the ECube Global students to arrive for their second year of their respective courses on the 5th of September. Bearing the concept of "travel with your friends" in mind, the college is ensuring that the group travels and chooses accommodation in such a way that at least 3 to 4 of their batch-mates will always be together. This instills a sense of confidence and belonging in the students and will help them adapt faster to the new environment, culture and people.

The answer is no. The common mistake in this debate is to solely think of innovation as inventions, new businesses and new ideas. When you think along these lines, men like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Richard Branson immediately spring to mind. However innovation can take many forms and we must not pigeon hole ourselves into thinking that these public figures of entrepreneurship, mean that men are the more innovative sex. What about Margaret Thatcher? What about Anita Roddick (founder of Body Shop)? What about the 88% of female primary school teachers and 62% of female secondary school teachers who are generating innovative lessons for our leaders of tomorrow? What about the mums who every day of the week innovatively stretch budgets to go further in the home? Are men more innovative than women? The answer is no. The definition of innovation is so broad, that neither sex can claim victory to it.
www.7billionideas.com is still very much in its infancy and hasn't collected enough interactions to be able to put forward a scientific opinion to whether or not there is a more innovative sex. In order to do this, the more profound question of, what is the definition of innovation, would need to be answered. We did however pass another major landmark this week – 17,000 ideas. What we do know, is that 64% of the ideas have come from men and 32% have come from women, with the rest coming from our growing group profiles. Men have contributed double the amount of ideas, which isn't altogether a surprising statistic. From my experience, men are more vocal. They share ideas quicker than women do. They might even prefer quantity over quality. If innovation was defined as – Who generates more ideas? On the evidence we have, this would state that men are clearly more innovative. However, as I pointed out in my opening paragraph, innovation is not and should not be defined like this.
Is innovation just about idea origination? Or is it about the contribution and thinking behind it, which takes an idea and makes it a better one? Of course it is. In September 2012, we introduced the ability to comment on ideas and have now racked up 7,000+ comments. Although I do not know the gender split, I would be very surprised if it was comparable to the amount of ideas contributed. I predict it to be more towards a 50/50 split, as our females users have contributed often through the ability to extend on ideas. E.g, Mrs Arding's, 'Quality Street Tins' – http://www.7billionideas.com/idea/1721 – 'You should be able to take the tins back and get some money or a discount on your next purchase'. This idea, led to 13 comments. The idea evolved to giving the money to charity, to scrapping the tin and making them out of cardboard, to a full on money back scheme. 70% of these comments came from females. They helped make a good idea, a better idea. This is just one of countless examples on 7billionideas, but where else have female's made an idea, a better one?
Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, is a great example. Mark Zuckerberg is accredited with the origins of the idea behind Facebook (although I am sure a couple of famous twins will have an opinion on this), however, Sandberg has been instrumental to making Facebook the giant it is today. After meeting Zuckerberg in 2007 and spending some time together at the World Economic Forum in January 2008, she soon left Google for Facebook. She carved their strategy to focus on profit for the first time, something, which despite their turbulent valuation is something they have achieved. Sandberg now oversees the firm's business operations including Sales, Marketing, Business Development, Human Resources, Public Policy and Communications. Arguably, she is the CEO of Facebook. Arguably she is more innovative than Zuckerberg himself. Arguably, women could be said to be more innovative.
Are men more innovative than women? The answer is no. Although countless men easily spring to mind of great innovative people, so do countless women. We must not brush off the fact that innovation can take many forms. We must not ignore that innovation isn't just about idea generation. We must not be oblivious to the fact that innovation is not just about the quantity of ideas. Neither sex can take victory in the debate of innovation, but can continue to look for ways to contribute to the global search for more innovative ideas, more innovative business and more innovative ways to live our everyday lives. I believe by sharing and interacting on every day ideas, all of us will gradually think and become more innovative in everything we do. I believe the problem is that many people do not understand how innovative they are, because they consistently forget their ideas or do not understand what innovation is. If you haven't already, please do check out www.7billionideas.com today. You can start becoming a little more innovative by contributing to other people's ideas with a like, dislike or comment. Whatever you do – Don't forget your innovative ideas

The Jpy pairs have come a long way since the incredible drop that took place weeks ago, following the Japan disaster. The Usdjpy in particular breached significant resistance to close above the pennant range resistance line on the weekly chart at the 86.60 level. In my opinion, there is now real potential for significant follow-through from here. I will be watching for retracements towards the broken resistance at 83.60 for a long entry. 82.80 also represent mid-range support that could also be retested, so I will keep an eye on that level for longs as well. The down-sloping trendline converges with the .50% fibonnacci retracement level, as well as a shelf of past support, marked by a green horizontal line at 86.30 (See chart below). This will be a major target for longs. This is the kind of trade setup that I would like to hold on a longer-term basis, using a 4-hour/daily reversal setup as my cue to exit longs.
Thank you for reading. Happy trading!

Anyone reading the news about wild-eyed allegations of Islamophobia and watching Americans fall all over themselves to be politically correct could well believe that playing the religion card would rescue any Muslim who runs afoul of the system.
A Muslim New York City cab driver found out it isn't so. Tamsir Drammeh ended up being fined $350 for discrimination because he would not let a woman ride in the front seat of his cab.
Drammeh was at a taxi stand near Penn Station when a family of four needed a ride. The husband and two kids went in the back. The woman then went to get in front. Drammeh refused to unlock the door for her to enter. When she asked what the problem was, Drammeh told her that her husband could sit up front, but she was banned. The family piled out and called a different cab, but not before getting a picture of Drammeh's medallion number.

The wife filed a complaint alleging sex discrimination. Drammeh lost the case twice — once in a hearing and again on appeal.
The hearing's judge, Laura Fieber, told Drammeh he needs to keep his religion to himself when serving the public.

"That his religion did not allow him to sit next to a woman is not an acceptable defense in an occupation that is operated to serve the public," she wrote, according to the New York Post. "Of significance, respondent made it clear that the husband would be welcome in the front seat, while the wife/complainant would not be."
The Post could not find anyone to say that Islam would not allow a woman in the front seat of a cab. However, Hossein Kamaly, a Middle Eastern studies professor at Columbia University, said Drammeh might just have been trying to follow the rules he was comfortable with.

"There are some Muslims who wouldn't be comfortable with that and some who would," he said. "He's an older man and probably an immigrant, so it's closer to the way that he was brought up."
Not everyone was so supportive.
"The guy actually used the 'Muslim' argument in front of a judge? Pretty bold. Maybe Tamsir forgot what country he was in for a second. Interesting that this driver was only fined and didn't have his taxi license stripped," the Young Conservatives' Andrew Mark Miller wrote.
"You can bet that this wasn't the first time he decided to impose his religion on others. Props to the family for saying something."

I was thinking it had been a while since I made a taco salad, and after a quick look back through my recipes I discovered that the last one I made was full of chicken, so it's definitely been well over a year. Which, clearly, is too damn long. I was inspired to make this after receiving the Thug Kitchen TK101 book for my birthday, and way too many hours spent watching Jamie Oliver flit about the kitchen in 15 Minute Meals, but because I suck at following recipes and prefer to just do my own thing, I naturally deviated from both sources of inspiration and created my own version.
Made up or not, this shit was GOOD. Jammed full of health, but packing a punch with yummy crispy bits and the most amazing zingy dressing — just to make it feel a little bit naughty. And remember guys, there are no rules here — this salad could be totally pimped up with some grated cheese, crunchy corn chips, black olives or sour cream, should you feel the urge to splurge.
1 cup dried black beans, soaked for 6-8 hours*
1 cos lettuce, rinsed and cut into manageable bite-sized pieces
1/2 punnet cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 continental cucumber, diced
1/2 avocado, diced
1/2 red onion, finely diced
2 cobs sweet corn, husks removed
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt & pepper
Coriander leaves, for garnish
1/2 bunch coriander, stalks & leaves
5 or 6 pickled jalapenos, plus ~2 tbsp of juice
2-3 tbsp non-fat plain yoghurt
Juice of 1 lime
Salt & pepper
Take your soaked your black beans, drain, rinse and transfer to a saucepan full of water, bring to the boil and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Next, heat a griddle pan or barbecue, and chuck the corn on – no oil, no nothing. Keep your eye on it and turn regularly until all sides are nicely charred. At the same time, grab a large frypan and heat a little splash of olive oil, then add the beans along with the paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the beans are dry and sort of puffed up.
Meanwhile, while the corn and beans are doing their thing, prepare the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion and avocado and divide between two large bowls (and I mean large!), then spoon over a generous amount of beans. Remove the corn kernels from the cob with a sharp knife, then divide evenly between the two bowls. Garnish with coriander leaves, and get excited 'cause you're almost there!
To make the dressing, simply combine the ingredients in a blender of some sort, and blitz until combined. Serve alongside the salad so it doesn't get all soggy, and get ready for some serious eats.
Makes 2 LARGE serves.
*If you don't have time to soak your beans, just pop them in a saucepan of water, bring to the boil and simmer for 30-40 minutes until tender.

Comments about Meinl Percussion Stand:
This is a nice stand with planty of mounting options for bells, blocks and the like. It is sturdy and in consequence a bit heavy, but it offers exceptional flexibility. Considering all that it offers, the price is very reasonable.

Choose freelancers as carefully as permanent hires
For many companies, hiring freelancers is a cost-effective way to expand their talent base without taking on the expense of full-time staffers.
But unlike full-timers, freelancers aren't direct reports, and for the most part, the company must rely on their expertise and word that they'll get the job done.
Just as in making a bad permanent hire, hiring the wrong freelancers could leave you and your business vulnerable.
"You want to check them out and their references," advises Steve King, a partner at Emergent Research, a Lafayette, California-based consulting firm focused on small business.
Don't go into the relationship blindly, he cautions.
Emergent recently teamed up with Intuit to release a study and forecast on the on-demand economy that predicts the contingent workforce, which includes freelancers, is expected to reach 43 percent of the U.S. workforce by 2020.
"The contingent workforce is pretty much anybody who has a non-traditional work relationship with their employer," he explains.
This growth is fueled in part by companies' increasingly looking for more flexibility and agility and trying to "avoid fixed commitments as best they can," says King.
Make an effort to find the right people
With this growth expected to continue, companies need to take some precautionary measures to find the right people.
To start, word of mouth is always good to find qualified freelancers.
Conversely, if you use online sites like Freelancer.com or Upwork.com, the freelancers will generally have star ratings you can see, says Jim Coutu, the Lutz, Florida-based author of "The Employer's Guide to Hiring Freelancers and Managing Outsourced Projects" (GatorData Press; $9.99).
Sometimes they may also include comments from past clients, he notes.
Look at their skill set and the number of jobs they've done, he recommends. "A large number of jobs is someone more experienced," he notes.
Be very clear and specific on the scope and parameters of the job and ask them if they have everything they need before they begin the project, he advises.
This way there are no surprises later on, says Coutu.
You can establish checkpoints along the way, but don't dictate how they perform the work or the hours they work.
"When the company starts to identify the means to achieve the result, it becomes an employee-employer relationship," says Barbara DeMatteo, director of human resources consulting at Portnoy, Messinger, Pearl & Associates Inc., a consulting firm in Syosset.
Avoid misclassifying freelance workers
This could cause serious problems for employers, particularly if they're misclassifying people as independent contractors instead of employees.
"It ultimately is the company's responsibility to pay and classify this individual correctly," says DeMatteo.
Given that, the employer shouldn't provide the individual with a company email address, a phone extension or business cards, or reimburse them for tools and expenses, she notes.
Don't say they have to report to the office or use the company software, and don't provide them with training, because they're supposed to be the expert, she notes.
They should also have a written, signed independent contractor's agreement laying out the relationship, she adds.
Also, if you want ownership of any of the work or material they're producing, that must be spelled out.
"On any kind of creative work, you should have an agreement saying you are buying all the rights and own all the rights," says Janet Attard, who hires freelancers for her BusinessKnowHow.com, a Bohemia-based small business information website.
She advises testing freelancers on small assignments first to see how they do.
"You have to be on your guard a little," she notes. "You will get people that aren't what they say they are."
If you find good freelancers, treat them with respect and pay them promptly, says Attard. "It gives you a little bit of an edge."
36% The percentage of the U.S. workforce made up of contingent workers, up from 17 percent 25 years ago

If you're a law student these days, your tuition (the sticker price, at least) is going to be anywhere from $29,000 a year to $53,000, and you're going to graduate with $100,000-250,000 of debt. Guess how much of that is going to pay for your school's library.
$3,197 per year.
Yes, that's for the library. The glorified study hall that doubles as storage space for books no one needs or uses the hard copies of.
That is the average cost per student per year, looking at 16 different public law schools (part time students were counted as 1/2). The most frugal on our list was the University of Florida, which spends $1,898 per student. At the very top of the heap is UNC's library, eating $4,251 of every student's tuition every year.
The numbers include materials, salaries, and the school's share of payroll taxes. It does not include insurance, retirement benefits, the cost of running heat and A/C, the cost of the building itself, or the additional work created for HR, IT, and the janitorial staff.
Taking all the overhead into consideration, you're probably looking at $4000-5000 per year per student. Perhaps a lot more in times when new facilities are being built.
The main skill you learn as a law student from using the library itself is where certain books happen to be located within that library. That's a skill that is entirely useless the moment you leave. When you enter practice the "library" you'll be using will be at most a few stacks of books, and could be as small as a single bookcase in your office. Learning that the obscure foreign law journals are kept in the obscure foreign law journal sub-basement doesn't help you in practice when what you need to know is that Jim borrowed your copy of the FRCP while you were at lunch.
The real absurdity of the whole thing is that for $3,000 a law student could probably buy every single hard copy book that he'll need for his legal career. Whatever the value of a law school library is, it pales in comparison to owning the resources yourself.
For people who like numbers, here's the costs at each of the 16 schools:
Arizona State University: $3,406.16
University of Florida: $1,898.29
George Mason: $3,445.49
University of Illinois: $3,407.91
University of Michigan: $4,029.84
University of Missouri: $3,081.48
University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill: $4,251.41
Ohio State University: $3,813.25
Rutgers - Camden: $3,024.25
Rutgers - Newark: $2,954.37
University of Texas: $2,220.3
Texas Tech: $3,805.24
University of Virginia: $2,548.18
William and Mary: $3,221.2
University of Wisconsin: $2,731.64

What can cosmetic dental work do for your self-esteem that all the pots of cream and eyeliner on Madison Avenue can't? While we agree with the ad men that esthetics motivate how people see us, value us, and respond to us, true natural beauty has to do with good health, not technique with a make-up brush. When you admire the dazzling smile of that Revlon model, will you buy the lipstick - or seek the restorative dentistry that perfected the smile? Dentistry thee smile to health and symmetry. Cosmetics? Sure. But call on cosmetic dentistry for a beautiful smile that won't wash off.
Cosmetic dentistry, these days, sometimes combines science with fine art. This requires a craftsman's skill to make sure the tooth restoration is as attractive as it is durable. After all, your smile is too valuable to be spoiled by unnatural-looking dental veneers.
The goal of a cosmetic dentist should be to provide you with an attractive, natural-appearing smile. You have a wide array of choices, and a good cosmetic dentistry professional should be happy to review the possibilities with you. For example, porcelain onlays and inlays can return structural integrity to a broken tooth, while leaving it looking as good as (or possibly better than) the original.
This is especially apparent if you now have metal fillings or a gold tooth. Metal and gold, after all, are not normal components of teeth. There's a huge difference between gold or metal combination fillings and porcelain dental crowns that reflect the translucence of natural teeth. Plus, porcelain restorations are now as strong, or stronger, than your own teeth. Ask your cosmetic dentist to take before-and-after photos so you can see the difference for yourself.
Admittedly, these more natural-appearing restorations are also a little more expensive. And many dental insurance plans may not cover all of the cost for cosmetic dental work. But in terms of your appearance (and the self-confidence it boosts), there's no comparison.
