Wage and Hour Laws
The publication Corporate Compliance Insights (which focuses upon matters of interest regarding compliance, governance, and risk in the business community) recently published an article we authored regarding the federal Fair Labor Standards Act's requirement that covered employers provide breaktime to a worker for the purpose of expressing breast milk for her nursing child.
The item summarizes the break requirements, raises some planning considerations, gives examples of unanswered questions, and highlights selected enforcement developments. The piece is entitled, "Are You Ready To Accommodate Nursing Mothers?", and it can be accessed at this link.

Breaks | Enforcement | Government Enforcement
The U.S. Labor Department recently responded to our July 2012 Freedom of Information Act request for documents relating to its enforcement of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act's Section 7(r). This provision requires covered employers to grant breaktime to an employee for the purpose of expressing breastmilk for her nursing child. We have been following developments regarding this provision since employers first found out that it was included in 2010's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
USDOL sent no documents, but it did provide a summary of enforcement data and related information.
Dozens Of Investigations And Violations
The information covers the period from Section 7(r)'s effective date of March 23, 2010 through June 11, 2012, which USDOL says is the most recent available. During that time, the Wage and Hour Division concluded 54 Section 7(r) investigations. The Division found one or more violations in 36 of them.
The Division classified 29 of the violations as involving a "failure to provide space" for the break. The response did not disclose how many of these instances involved an employer's providing no space, as opposed to its having provided space that was inadequate or inappropriate in some way.
Five violations were said to consist of a "failure to provide break time." USDOL gave no further information about these scenarios.
In all 36 cases in which the Division found violations, the employers reportedly "remedied the problem" in unspecified ways and agreed to comply with Section 7(r) in the future. USDOL also said, "In three cases the employer provided back wages to compensate the employee for compensation lost when her hours were cut or when she quit her job due to the failure to provide the break time." Presumably, these situations involved allegations of retaliation or claims that the worker quit but was constructively discharged as a result of the violation claimed; USDOL did not expand upon its statements.
In one case, USDOL reports, "the employee was reinstated." This might refer to the situation it mentioned in which the employee "quit her job". In any event, presumably the reinstated worker was terminated (constructively or otherwise) supposedly due to an assertion of her Section 7(r) rights.
Points Of Emphasis
The overwhelming proportion of alleged violations arose from an employer's failure to provide any space, adequate space, and/or appropriate space for a break. Section 7(r) itself requires that the space be shielded from view, free from intrusion from co-workers and the public, usable for expressing breastmilk, and something other than a bathroom.
USDOL's 2010 "Preliminary Interpretations" elaborate upon this, saying among other things that:
♦ Employers are required to make a suitable room available for use (at least temporarily) "where practicable";
♦ If this is not "practicable", the employer must "create a space with partitions or curtains" that is otherwise appropriate; and
♦ The obligation to provide suitable space also applies to employees who work offsite.
See 75 Fed.Reg. 80073, 80075-77 (December 21, 2010). USDOL adds that:
♦ The space may not be so far from the employee that it is "impractical" for her to take the breaks; and
♦ The arrangement is inadequate if the number of employees needing to use the space effectively "prevents" an employee from taking breaks or "necessitates a prolonged waiting time."
The enforcement information underscores more generally that employers must ensure that they:
♦ Know, understand, and comply with all of their Section 7(r) obligations; and
♦ Take no adverse action against an employee who seeks to or does exercise her rights under Section 7(r).
Breaks | Government Enforcement
An Iowa federal court has dismissed a worker's claim which alleged that her employer failed to comply with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act's Section 7(r) requirement regarding breaktime for the purpose of expressing breastmilk. Under this 2010 FLSA amendment, employers are required among other things to provide places for such breaks that are "shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public."
Private Enforcement of Section 7(r) Not Authorized . . .
In Salz v. Casey's Marketing Company, the employee sued after she had allegedly complained about the presence of a video camera in the room in which she took these breaks, later received reprimands about performance matters, and thereafter "left her position." Senior Judge Donald E. O'Brien ruled that the employee could not enforce Section 7(r) in her lawsuit.
The court reasoned that (i) the FLSA does not require compensation for these breaks; and (ii) a worker's remedy for a violation of FLSA Section 7 is limited to seeking unpaid wages. According to the judge, the employee's only redress under Section 7(r) itself was to complain to the U.S. Labor Department.
. . . But There Are Other Remedies!
However, the court refused to dismiss her "constructive discharge" and retaliation claims brought under FLSA Section 15(a)(3). This provision says in part that it is unlawful to "discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee because such employee has filed any complaint or instituted or caused to be instituted any proceeding under or related to" the FLSA. In the court's view, an employer violates Section 15(a)(3) by taking adverse action against an employee because she asserted her rights under Section 7(r).
There have been significant questions about the enforcement of Section 7(r) since it was adopted as a part of the 2,700-page Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Perhaps little or no thought was given to these matters in the confused and frenetic circumstances under which the PPACA was enacted.
Nevertheless, as we said at the time, it seems clear that Section 7(r) transgressions can subject an employer to a USDOL investigation, to a USDOL lawsuit for court-ordered compliance (backed by contempt-of-court remedies), and to USDOL civil penalties of up to $1,100 for each willful or repeated violation. Furthermore, as the Salz decision illustrates, an employer could face substantial liability for retaliating against an employee who invokes the requirements of Section 7(r).
Breaks | Enforcement | Government Enforcement | Legislation | Litigation | Retaliation
The period has now closed for submitting information and comments relating to the U.S. Labor Department's "preliminary interpretations" of the 2010 federal Fair Labor Standards Act lactation-break amendment. We highlighted these preliminary interpretations in a December post. If DOL adopts even a portion of the positions put forth by many commenters, employers will be faced with yet another legal minefield.
Does The FLSA Sometimes Require Paid Lactation Breaks?
Several commenters continue to suggest or insinuate that lactation breaks of 20 minutes' duration or less must be treated as worktime under the FLSA. Their positions overgeneralize an already loosely-worded DOL interpretation from 1940 that "[r]est periods of short duration, running from 5 minutes to about 20 minutes," must be counted as worktime. See 29 C.F.R. § 785.18. The rationale for this view was that such breaks "promote the efficiency of the employee" so as to inure mainly to the employer's benefit. Lactation breaks serve laudable purposes for many reasons, but they are not "rest breaks" and are in no meaningful sense principally for the employer's benefit.
More importantly, any attempt to graft the rest-break interpretation onto the lactation-break amendment runs afoul of the plain words of the amendment: "An employer shall not be required to compensate an employee receiving reasonable break time . . . for any work time spent for such purpose." Policy preferences cannot override the words of the statute itself.
Some comments suggest that the time an employee spends retrieving pumping supplies and in other, unspecified "travel time" should not be considered a part of the break itself. There is no basis for such a carve-out, especially in light of the amendment's use of the phrase "any work time".
Many push for a DOL statement that lactating employees using paid break time for that purpose must be paid in the same way that other employees are for the break time. They further advocate statements that employers ought to allow an employee to use paid break time to express breastmilk but could not "force" her to do so. Most seem to concede implicitly that the FLSA amendment itself has nothing to do with such things, because for support they refer to federal and state discrimination laws and to laws in some states dealing with lactation breaks. It might well be that employers should maintain the proposed policies for a variety of legal and non-legal reasons, but there is no basis for any DOL pronouncements predicated upon laws it does not enforce and as to which it has no particular expertise.
Submissions Contain An "Interpretation" Wish-List
Various commenters also pressed for other provisions too numerous to summarize here. Among the additional proposed pronouncements are that:
♦ Employers "should" permit lactating employees to extend workdays or to modify meal periods in order to avoid losing compensable worktime, but employers could not require them to do so.
♦ Employers and their customers or clients at whose premises lactating employees work can be "joint employers" with equal responsibility and liability under the lactation-break amendment.
♦ Adoptive mothers, or mothers who used surrogates, who choose to breastfeed with the assistance of lactation drugs are covered by the requirement.
♦ Employers would be required to provide a specific notice of amendment-related rights above and beyond any statement of rights included in a DOL poster.
♦ Employers must deal on an individualized basis with how often a particular employee "has need" to express breastmilk but would not be permitted to require an employee to provide any related justification or documentation for what she says.
Even if DOL issues no further interpretative material incorporating these or other provisions urged, employers should expect many of the commenters' views to be incorporated into DOL's enforcement posture and to show up in lawsuits by individual employees.
Breaks | Compliance | Enforcement | Government Enforcement | Hours Worked
The U.S. Labor Department has now published what it calls its "preliminary interpretations" and a request for information regarding the federal Fair Labor Standards Act lactation-break amendment we wrote about in April and July. The deadline for submitting information and comments is February 22, 2011. Employers should give serious consideration to weighing-in on these "preliminary interpretations".
The material says that the "reasonable break time" required should be evaluated according to individualized considerations of both the time spent expressing milk and "steps reasonably necessary" to that activity. In DOL's view, the length of a required break will depend upon a variety of things, like:
• How much time it takes to express the milk (DOL anticipates 15 to 20 minutes),
• Time spent walking to and from the break location, and any time waiting to use the space,
• Time spent retrieving, unpacking, and setting-up a pump and related supplies,
• The efficiency of the pump,
• Time spent in washing, in cleaning the pump and attachments, and in any related steps, taking into account whether there is a sink with running water nearby, and
• Time spent storing the milk in a safe manner.
As for the frequency and number of breaks, DOL will consider factors such as:
• The baby's age as this relates to the child's feeding needs,
• The number of feedings in the baby's normal daily schedule,
• Whether the baby is eating solid food, and
• How often the baby usually nurses.
DOL anticipates that the number of necessary breaks will "typically" be two or three during an eight-hour shift (and possibly more for longer shifts). Apparently, then, DOL would not consider total breaktime of, say, 45 to 90 minutes each workday to be out of the ordinary. DOL also says that these breaks might not track the employee's regular break times or meal periods.
According to DOL, employers are required to make a suitable room available for use "where practicable" (although this room need not necessarily be a permanent space dedicated to that purpose). If it is not "practicable" to do so, the employer must "create a space with partitions or curtains" that is also otherwise appropriate under the amendment. DOL says that employers are not complying with the break requirement if the space is so far from the employee that it is "impractical" for her to take the breaks, or if the number of employees needing to use the space means that this "prevents" an employee from taking breaks or "necessitates a prolonged waiting time".
DOL continues to "interpret" the amendment to mean that:
♦ An employer allowing paid breaks must compensate a nursing employee in the same way it does others if she uses such a break in order to express breastmilk; and
♦ The break must be treated as worktime if the employee is not "completely relieved from duty" (apparently ascribing this to a non-existent "general requirement" in the FLSA itself).
For a variety of reasons, both the correctness of these positions under the FLSA and DOL's authority to propound them are subject to serious question. Nonetheless, DOL clearly intends to impose them.
These "preliminary interpretations" touch upon and seek input with respect to other subjects also, such as:
• Whether and under what circumstances managers' offices, locker rooms, utility closets, storage spaces, or anterooms or lounges associated with bathrooms might be adequate break spaces,
• What approaches there might be to situations in which employees (such as drivers) do not perform their jobs at a fixed place of work,
• How to comply with the requirement when an employee works at a client's or customer's place of business,
• How the employer is to be notified about the employee's intention to take lactation breaks (including whether a "simple conversation" should suffice), and
• How the under-50-employee "undue hardship" exemption will apply (indications are that DOL intends to construe it very restrictively).
Although this latest release is couched as a request for public comment for DOL's use in "formulating further guidance", there is some hint that instead it might actually be DOL's last pronouncement on the subject for the foreseeable future. Moreover, DOL states that it does not intend to issue regulations "[a]t this time" (it is not apparent by what authority DOL would do so in the absence of any empowering language in the amendment itself). Even so, employers ought to study these materials carefully and should submit their reactions and any suggestions or objections. For one thing, a muted response risks a later argument that the "regulated community" tacitly embraced DOL's views in their entirety.
The U.S. Labor Department has released its general views about the meaning of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act's new lactation-break requirement that was the subject of our April 1, 2010 post. You will recall that FLSA-covered employers must now grant breaktime to a worker for the purpose of expressing breastmilk for her nursing child.
Fact Sheet #73 specifically confirms some of our original analyses, including that:
• This FLSA amendment took effect when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law on March 23; and
• The provision does not apply to employees who are completely exempt from the FLSA's overtime requirement.
DOL has not specified any minimum number of, frequency of, or duration for these breaks. It says only that the amount of time must be "reasonable", and that the breaks must be permitted "as frequently as needed" by the employee.
Echoing the amendment, the Fact Sheet states that an employer must provide a place other than a bathroom (even a private one) as a location for the break. The location need not be reserved exclusively for a nursing employee's use. Furthermore, it may be a place that is temporarily created or converted for this purpose or that is made available when needed. However, DOL emphasizes that the location must be:
• Functional as a space for expressing breastmilk;
• Shielded from view; and
• Free from any intrusion by co-workers or the public.
DOL acknowledges the amendment's clear statement that employers are not obligated to treat these breaks as compensable worktime. However, in a continuation of DOL's recent "interpretative" actions, the Fact Sheet declares that:
• An employer allowing paid breaks must compensate a nursing employee in the same way it does others if she uses such a break in order to express breastmilk; and
• The lactation break must be treated as time worked if the employee is not "completely relieved from duty" during the break.
Whether these two pronouncements are permissible or even entirely correct under the FLSA is subject to debate, as is the effect of DOL's having announced them in an informal "Fact Sheet". Even so, legal uncertainty, the possible impact of laws other than the FLSA, human-resources considerations, and prudence suggest that employers would be wise to follow them pending further developments under the amendment.
The Fact Sheet also clarifies how the "fewer than 50 employees" threshold must be determined in the exception for small employers who are prepared to prove that complying with the requirement causes undue hardship. DOL says that all employees who work for the covered employer must be counted – not just those who work at a particular worksite. That is, employers whose total number of employees is 50 or more are precluded from even trying to invoke this exception.
Breaks | Enforcement | Government Enforcement | Hours Worked | Legislation
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act now requires covered employers to grant breaktime to a worker for the purpose of expressing breastmilk for a nursing child. The employer must also provide a suitable location for her to do so. This obligation is contained in the new FLSA Section 7(r) that was buried in a little-noticed part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. So far as we can tell, the provision took effect immediately when the law was signed on March 23, 2010.Employers need not pay for the break. No minimum break length is specified, but the break must be a "reasonable" one. Employers are required to provide places for the breaks that are "shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public." The location cannot be a bathroom.The employee must be permitted to take a break each time she needs to express milk. The break requirement extends for one year after the child is born.An employer of fewer than 50 workers would be excepted from the requirement if allowing the breaks would cause "undue hardship". This condition is met only if the employer will face significant difficulty or expense in light of the employer's size, financial resources, nature, or business structure. We anticipate that this high standard will likely be a hard one to meet as a practical matter.We assume that Section 7(r) does not apply to employees who are completely excluded from the FLSA's overtime section. For example, this would be the case as to those who qualify for one or more of the executive, administrative, professional, or "outside salesman" exemptions. However, employers should approach this on an exemption-by-exemption basis, because some FLSA exceptions are more-limited in scope.It is not clear what might be the full range of potential liabilities for failing to comply with this provision. Presumably, an employer could at least face U.S. Labor Department civil penalties of up to $1,100 for each willful or repeated violation, and the Labor Department could seek a court injunction requiring compliance. Substantial liability could also flow from an employer's having retaliated against a worker who asserts her right to this break.A number of states already require these kinds of breaks. Section 7(r) does not override any such laws that extend greater employee protections than it does.
UPDATE: Some have suggested that this amendment conflicts with current U.S. Labor Department "regulations" stating that employers must treat brief breaks as worktime. Certain Labor Department interpretative guidelines and opinions do say that short rest periods, coffee breaks, snacktimes, and smoking breaks count as compensable hours worked. A number of courts have adopted most of these views.
Even so, and while a definitive answer must await future developments, it is difficult to see how these Labor Department statements could override the statute's directive that "[a]n employer shall not be required to compensate an employee receiving reasonable break time . . . for any work time spent for such purpose." The Labor Department or the courts might eventually construe "reasonable break time" to mean some presumptive minimum number of minutes. But interpretations issued decades ago seem insufficient in themselves to impose any requirement that breastmilk-expressing breaks be treated as compensable worktime when the statute itself says otherwise. Whether pertinent state laws mean that these breaks are to be handled as hours worked is of course a different question.

The Libyan government has given the United States "tacit approval" to conduct missions inside Libya to capture suspects involved in the terror attack on the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, a senior U.S. official told CNN.
The official has direct knowledge of the arrangements but declined to be identified due to the sensitive nature of the information.
Approval for action against Benghazi suspects, which was granted in recent weeks, is the same type of agreement that allowed a U.S. raid this past weekend in Tripoli.
In that operation, Army Delta Forces captured Abu Anas al Libi, an al Qaeda operative wanted for his alleged role in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.
Under these approvals, key Libyan government officials are aware of potential U.S. operations but may not know the exact timing and place of a mission.
This means the United States could at any point decide to conduct a Benghazi operation using intelligence and military operatives in the region.
CNN previously reported the United States has a target list of Benghazi suspects the Obama administration has tracked through intelligence.
Tracking efforts include drone surveillance and operatives, who have moved in and out of Libya in recent months.
A federal indictment in August charged several suspects in connection with the September 11, 2012, armed assault on the Benghazi mission that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, sources told CNN at the time.
The indictment remains under seal, but the sources have said that prominent Libyan militia figure Ahmed Abu Khattala was among those charged. Khattala has recently lived openly in Benghazi and has been interviewed by CNN's Arwa Damon.
U.S. officials said the raid to capture al Libi and any mission related to Benghazi are considered separate events.
The al Libi raid was supposed to remain secret for several days, but it became public almost immediately when al Libi's family in Libya said he had been abducted.
The disclosure of that mission raised questions about whether a Benghazi mission to get Khattala is still possible given the revelation that American commandos entered Libya to get al Libi.
CNN reported on Saturday that the al Libi operation was conducted with the knowledge of the Libyan government, according to a U.S. official.
Some details of the Libyan arrangements with the United States were first reported by the New York Times.

More Democratic Republic of Congo Maps
Covering an area of 2,345,409 square kilometers (905,355 square miles), the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the eleventh largest country in size worldwide. Its population of about 71 million makes the Democratic Republic of the Congo the fourth most populous country in Africa.
The capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is Kinshasa, a city of about 9 million people along the Congo River.
European colonization of the region took place from the 1870s through the 1920s, and King Leopold II of Belgium ruled it, calling if the Congo Free State. Under his rule, the people of the Congo were brutally exploited and many died. The Belgian parliament took over the Free State in 1908, making it the Belgian Congo. The early twentieth century was marked by tension and chaos in the Congo, as the country fought in many wars and began the journey to independence. Peace was restored when the Republic of the Congo, as it was called, was declared an independent state by Belgium on June 30, 1960. From 1971 to 1997, the region became the nation of Zaire until the country became the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1997.
Today, the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a semi-presidential republic with a president and a prime minister.
The economy of the DRC is primarily centered on mining the land's rich natural resources, which include cobalt ore, copper, and diamonds.

I liked it, too, even if it was a long jump to get to the phrase. Couldn't have got it without help on this forum. Gotta admit the author is kinda cute.

Thank you, Baffled King and Emato; I was starting get rankled by all the negativity in the prior posts. This one took me about 90 minutes, and during that time, I admit I wasn't very impressed. Then I had the ah-HA moment, solved it and went to bed. The next day, the more I thought about it, the more I liked this puzzle. All the clues are there, requiring a bare minimum of internet searching (in fact, as mentioned previously, Google's spelling corrector did most of that work for me), and a couple of decent red herrings to make the challenge fun (for me at least).
Contrary to the complaints of several above, it's not a random guessing game, you need be fluent only in common English, and all the hints you need are right there. Especially, the clue that give it away for me:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I was thinking there has to be some significance to the fact that the title is "Mystery Ongoing", and not "Ongoing Mystery", as it might be more commonly phrased. Keeping in mind the progress I'd made, once I focused on the title, the solution came to me within a minute.
Another tip:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The path to the solution is quite similar to those in the "Ancient-est Crossword" and "Get Your Kicks" Theorems where you must first derive a phrase, then treat it as a crossword-style clue. In this case, the first phrase is (disregarding the word "we") synonymous with the literal translation of the solution phrase.
As for the fact that the author gets to solve it and earn points, why shouldn't the lucky puzzlesmith get 350 points for having her Theorem selected? As long as the Theorem Champ seal is left for a solver, of course.
Yeah, I liked this one a lot. If we're rating these, I'd give it 8 out of 10.

That seems a bit... unsporting. (And if she was going to solve her own puzzle, wouldn't you think she could do better than fifth place???)
She probably didn't want to be a jerk and get the first-solved seal. Hell, there isn't anything that can prevent her from not. Oh, and the points aren't worth squat anyways.....
This one actually took me a while even though I knew the phrase well.

Now see, I really enjoyed this one! Didn't have any trouble with it at all. I just wish I would have looked at it right away instead of today - it's one of the few I could actually have gotten in short order!
Unlike that &%@# Antisocial Media seal I *still* haven't been able to get! I don't know the elegant way, don't know JS and have an antique laptop.
But this one, I totally loved. Go figure?!
I do think it would be interesting to have a rate it box accompanying each theorem and seal. Maybe a rating for difficulty and enjoyment. Would be fun to see how others feel about each and would maybe be useful for creators and potential puzzle creators.

I agree that the first part of the puzzle was super-trivial. I don't get why people googled the paintings while everything was available in the file linked in the puzzle description.

It's not necessary to be "fluent" in any other language; you don't really have to know the other language at all.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The phrase is classical Latin, but don't get all involved in that. As someone else said, it's a Latin phrase that has become a part of English -- like 'habeas corpus', that was a good example.
I actually thought this was an excellent puzzle. I think it's awfully petty to complain about the technology necessary to solve, when the technology was: being able to open a pdf! Yeesh.

So it is the phrase actual Latin or religious Latin? Those are two very different languages at this point. And any hints as to what it is. I only took a year of Latin, and it's not anything I'm putting in. I'm wondering if it was misspelled at some point, or my text books have a different/more obscure spelling or phrasing.

Hmm. The only piece that seems semi-appropriate is "habeas corpus", and that's not it. Hmm.

I groaned when I saw non-English, too. But it's "non-English" in the sense that Rondezvous is non-English - it's used all the time by normal English speakers. Think cop shows or old detective movies. Pretty sure it's used on Law and Order or Castle although

Ryan Phillippe, the best smile winner in high school, started as a teen model in Philadelphia before pushing the daytime TV envelope as a gay character on "One Life To Live" and establishing himself as a go-to pretty boy of the late '90s thanks to roles in "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "54" and "Cruel Intentions," which is the only time he shared the screen with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon. They met at her 21st birthday party in 1997, married and welcomed daughter Ava in 1999, had son Deacon in 2003 and separated in 2006. He moved into more critically acceptable fare like 2000's "Way Of The Gun," 2002's "Gosford Park," 2006's Best Picture winner "Crash" and 2008's "Stop-Loss." He moved on in the romance department with Abbie Cornish (2007-10), Amanda Seyfried (2010-11) and Paulina Slagter (2012 to present). He became a dad again in July 2011 when actress Alexis Knapp, a former flame, gave birth to daughter Kailani.

Former Indian eyes championship
Brandon Hollins has one more shot before his college career is finished. For the former Yazoo City four-sport athlete hopes to play for another Southwestern Athletic Conference championship later this month in Shreveport, La. Only this time he wants to be on the winning team.
"Alcorn has never won a SWAC championship," Hollins said. "We've lost in that championship game the last two years. We've been banging on the door every year."
This year, would arguably be his best shot as the Braves will be going into the tournament as the number one seed in the East Division after posting a dominating 19-4 conference record despite a brutal non-conference slate which included battles with Memphis, LSU, Alabama and Southern Mississippi.
"The level of competition was just so high in non-conference, the conference schedule was less grueling," he said.------for the rest of this story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition-----

victor venegas i barely got these shoes today i cant wait to skate on them at the skate park. the insole is great and the style to is cool and it also has a good grip in the bottom of the shoe. haven't had problems with this shoe at all and it is a good price to buy them.
justin illg Not a chubby skate shoe!! The Bledsoe Mid is a purpose built shoe with soid ankle support and protection without chubby padding. The shoe has thin, dense interior ankle padding just at the balls of the ankle which has proven to be very effective. The mid top provides good support without being restrictive. Toe protection is top knotch and the soles are very grippy. The insole abosorbs a tremendous amount of shock - my feet ached the next day after a session in my old shoes. That is no longer the case. Styling is simple and to the point without show-boat graphics. These are clearly skate shoes with a purpose. That purpose being skating. Done.
Break-in period: 2 skate sessions. After 8 sessions they feel like slippers.
Fit: I wear a size 10 in Vans and Adidas. I had to go with a 9.5 for these and they are dead on.
Final word: Form follows function! Etnies gets it. Thank you! -
Christian Rojas I loved this shoe, for the price i paid it is very comfortable and stylish. ;)
Sami Bisharat This shoe was a pleasant surprise. The size fit true and the lace toggle pulls it snug. It has excellent board feel. Both innovations (the blind seam & lace toggle) are great developments. The suede uppers have held up well and there is plenty of ankle support. Highly recommended from someone with 20 years of skating under my belt.
Tony I really like it, it feels really good and gives a good ankle support. Also, I love the comfort that the DTTF insole gives! The only thing is that the outsole wears out easily. I think this shoe would be perfect with a cupsole!
In fact, I love this shoe! -
Larry McBryar The shoe itself looks durable, stylish, and comfortable. My only problem with this shoe, and it might just be the distributer itself, was the fact that these came signifigantly larger than the rvm 2's I had ordered in the same size. I asked the opinions of some other skateboarders and the general consensus was this shoe was about a whole size bigger than the rvm 2's. Etnies seems to be very up-kept on thier customer service, but I really didn't know how to go about reporting this "problem." So I still have these shoes in box, unskated, untouched, and to big to be comfortable skateboarding in. All-in-all, a good deal, but be wary of thinking two different models of the same brand should be the same size.

Vanessa Paradis Gossip
Vanessa Paradis gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Johnny Depp's Oscar history
Wenn, Vince Bucci/Frank Micelotta/Frazer Harrison/Getty
Can we just revisit the fact that JLo will be making her TENTH appearance at the Oscars in 15 years this weekend? Click here if you missed yesterday's article. Is she the only one who says yes...repeatedly?While JLo is going for a decade's worth of Academy Award showings without a nomination, Johnny Depp has only attended 4 times in 18 years. Full Story
Johnny Depp's $4 million dollar "personal life"
Johnny Depp's next film The Lone Ranger is supposed to start shooting on February 12. That has now been pushed back by two weeks. The reason? Johnny's "personal life". Apparently in the upcoming issue of The Hollywood Reporter, there's a story about how Johnny approached director Gore Verbinski, with whom he has worked before on several Pirates movies and Rango, to ask him to delay production so that he can address some issues in his "personal life". Full Story
Vanessa says it's not over
But PEOPLE Magazine said it was over!And PEOPLE Magazine wouldn't say it was over if it wasn't over, right? Vanessa Paradis appeared on a French talk show the other day and was asked about the reports that she and Johnny Depp are done. Her response: "People say we are buying houses in the middle of nowhere, or that we have fifty two houses in France. Full Story
Two exes...or one?
Wenn, Fame/Flynet, Splash, Pascal Le Segretain/Getty
Vanessa Paradis was out last night, looking amazing, in Paris at the premiere of Cafe de Flore. Also today at the Chanel show. Have you seen the collection? I posted it over in LifeStyle. No personal questions were allowed on the carpet last night, and the edict was strictly observed. Full Story
Vanessa is done with Johnny ...or vice versa?
You know PEOPLE Magazine. They don't go with a story like this, and about such a major celebrity, and on the cover no less, without being actively encouraged, without being guaranteed that there will be no subsequent repercussion. As you know, PEOPLE is not Star. To their credit, incredulously, Star Magazine, and Radar, its online stepsister, had this story first - that Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis were over - only they embellished it with so much bullsh-t, it was harder than usual to take them seriously, especially given their track record: one hit in a hundred, if that. Full Story
Are they ok?
Getting pounded by emails today re: Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis...Before you panic over any gossip story, please always stop and consider the source. Here's how I usually operate: If it comes from Star, In Touch, Life & Style, and OK!, it's like I never read the headline. For those of you interested in this sort of thing, and it's worth noting if you consider yourself an above average gossip student, Star and The National Enquirer are owned by the same company and In Touch and Life & Style also fall under one parent publisher. Full Story
Mrs Depp needs cash
Check out Vanessa Paradis yesterday in LA hitting up an ATM. Yes, yes, take it out of your ass, I know they're not married. Mrs Depp is just a shorter title than "The Partner Of Johnny Depp" and it can fit on one line. It always surprises me when really famous people do ordinary things like take money out of a bank machine. Full Story
Smutty Tingles
The many tiers of Karl's Girls
So random. There was a dinner in Paris last night to celebrate Karl Lagerfeld. I don't know the occasion but Karl thinks it's a stupid question if you asked it. Do we need a reason to celebrate him? "Vanity is the healthiest thing in life." Vanessa Paradis was there. Effortlessly chic, of course. Full Story
Hearing Vanessa
Vanessa Paradis performed at Town Hall in New York last night. Johnny Depp was in the house to support her. The two were photographed leaving the venue together. It's her first tour in over a decade to promote the release of her greatest hits album. She's been doing this for 23 years. What? Yeah 23 years. Full Story
Chanel Girls
It's Haute Couture week in Paris. Chanel is presenting today. And some of Karl's favourites turned up to support him including Kirsten Dunst, mounting what appears to be an attempt at a comeback, Diane Kruger, Alexa Chung, who seems slightly more awake because she doesn't have to speak, and the loveliest Vanessa Paradis who, unlike the others, decided that denim was more comfortable and chic. Full Story
Globe Downey over Depp
Johnny Depp is cool. No doubt. But RDJ is cool too. And RDJ is charming. I wouldn't say charming is a Depp attribute. Too tanned and bloated however are two attributes he's currently owning too often. So, on this night, when Robert Downey Jr stood up and told all the ladies he wanted to f-ck them, while Johnny sat uncomfortably at his table, on this night we give it to RDJ. Full Story
Johnny's Miami family weekend
Last week Star Magazine accused Johnny Depp of cheating on Vanessa Paradis with some 19 year old trick on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean 4. This weekend he was shot in Miami, taking his kid to the Justin Bieber concert (Bieber shouted him out during the show) and yesterday with V and the children at the Dolphins game vs the Bills. Full Story
Johnny & Vanessa working together
Not yet, but they're talking about it. For a movie about Simone de Beavoir and one of her many lovers Nelson Algren with whom she had her most significant relationship. Vanessa Paradis confirmed that she and Johnny Depp are considering the project: "They're still writing the script but the idea would be amazing because it's such a beautiful story. Full Story

Metal Kiss Best Friends Keychain
Love it!
This key chain was a gift to my boyfriend. He kept the girl part and I kept the boy, so when looking at it, we'd think of each other. The magnets aren't very strong, but I think it's definitely worth it. The silver color does tend to fade a bit, but that's nothing I didn't expect.
Overall I really like this product. It's a sweet thought.

Super Cute
It's really cute and perfect for making a crush or significant other feel loved. The magnets are a little weak though. That's only problem, I got it for my Valentine and he felt very loved :)
February 14, 2012
Perfect for that special Best Friend
Gave the boy half of it to my boyfriend when he had to leave at the airport to move. i told him he would see the other half next time and see him and what the little boy person is for (The two peices connect togeather to make them kiss, so cute!)
January 3, 2012
Perfect for you and your best friend!
I bought this keychain for me and my best friend. He lives far from where I live so it's a really cute reminder when we miss each other. We love to play with the keychains whenever my best friend and I are together. The 2 keychains have magnets on their hands and foreheads so they would automatically 'kiss' every time they're near each other.
This is a very cute item. It's exactly like the picture, if not better. The material is high-quality - shiny and not easily scratched. This is easily one of my favorite items on Claire's.
It's a really cute and fun product, perfect gift for your best friend.

Vanessa Alonso is a meteorologist and news reporter with KTVO.
KIRKSVILLE, MO -- Local Missouri State Representative Nate Walker visited the Preferred Family Healthcare offices in Kirksville Monday.
Walker toured the rooms, met with staff and patients while thanking them for their hard work.
Mental health is an important issue to Walker.
It's also becoming one of the main issues on the assembly floor.
"We need to look into mental health and make sure we come up with a good budget to provide those services to people who need it. This is will help our society. Mental health is a prevented thing to keep us from having problems that we don't need to have. This is an important part of my agenda. I want to learn more about the mental health issue," Walker said.
Walker has already co-sponsored bills on mental health during this general assemblyn at the Missouri State Capitol.

Innsbrook ushered in corporate lifestyle
In the late 1970s, there was nothing in the corporate world of Henrico County – or Greater Richmond – quite like what the mind of Sidney Gunst envisioned. Only a few years removed from college, Gunst was dreaming big. "I had the idea that more was better," he recalled. Gunst's thoughts became clearer as he traveled the country to observe office complexes, selecting pieces of what he saw elsewhere to help hone his vision for Henrico's Far West End. He envisioned a corporate setting in which employees could feel comfortable amid lush, well-maintained surroundings; enjoy concerts, fitness trails and a library; and generally be surrounded by other like-minded people in a true community setting. But dreams and ideas alone would not move dirt. "I was an ambitious young 28-year-old with an idea and no money," recalled Gunst, who at the time was working for the Pruitt family on a development project in Henrico's Near West End. That's where ambition took over. Gunst approached two real estate investors – Henry Stern and David Arenstein – and sold them on his concept. With their funding and his determination, the Innsbrook Corporate Center soon came to life. The development of Innsbrook – today an 850-acre community of more than 400 businesses, 22,000 employees, four residential subdivision, a post office, library, shops and concert venue – ranks 18th on the Henrico Citizen's list of the 24 most significant events in Henrico history. Bigger is better As it turns 29 years old this month, Innsbrook is the second-largest employment center in Greater Richmond, and its development helped shape Henrico as a business-friendly county while setting in motion much of the subsequent development of the county's West End. Gunst's motivation was simple. "I wanted to go the next level of creating a live-work-play environment," he said. "We were marketing it as the ultimate employee benefit plan." At the center of his concept was attractive, cohesive landscaping – something he felt was critical in order to provide the true sense of quality and community that would be key to attracting tenants. A small billboard erected at the site as its first building was being constructed in the early 1980s promised that the community would adhere to "a commitment to excellence." Gunst was resolute in his determination to live up to that goal, implementing more stringent development and landscaping standards than Henrico County required, as a way to set the standard for western Henrico. Though he was able to convince his key investors to come on board without much difficulty, convincing a corporate tenant to move to the far reaches of Henrico County – and away from the downtown corridor – proved much tougher. "It was too far out, could we deliver long-term?" Gunst recalled, citing some of the common hesitancies he heard from businesses at the time. "Nobody wants to be the first one to move in." Finally, after two years of discussions, Gunst landed Innsbrook's first tenant, Hewlett Packard. Construction on its facility began in late 1981, and the company moved into its new home in April 1982. Steadily, others followed. Today, Innsbrook is home to a number of major companies, including Capital One, Dominion Virginia Power, Humana Market Point, Markel Corporation, SnagAJob.com and a plethora of others. Innsbrook 2.0 In the mid-1990s, Highwoods Properties began a five-year process of buying out the remaining sites controlled by Gunst and his investors. That process was completed by 2000, and today Highwoods controls about 30 percent of the land in Innsbrook. The rest is owned by individual owners and businesses or real estate investment groups. (Gunst owns the Innsbrook Shoppes and serves on the Innsbrook Owners Association's board of directors.) Though his creation has been viewed as the epicenter of Henrico's business community for decades, Gunst said it's far from perfect. "I make the joke that if I had know then what I knew later, I probably wouldn't have done it," he said. "It was not a fully refined plan." That was partially the result of county zoning regulations, which limited what could be built, and partially, Gunst said, the result of his own inexperience. But the community soon will undergo a rebirth of sorts – a transformation that Gunst believes will make it more like the type of place it should have been to begin with. "Innsbrook 2.0," as he terms the new concept, will make the community a more fully integrated, efficient place. The goal is to create a true mixed-use setting, with more residential and retail space in close quarters to the existing office space. With such an extensive network of infrastructure already in place, it makes sense that it should serve more purposes, Gunst said. He hopes the end result will be an environment in which people are less reliant upon automobiles, thereby helping to create a more sustainable community. "Why would anybody want to have 22,000 cars leaving at 5 o'clock to drive to a shopping center to take up 22,000 parking spaces, to then drive home and take up another 22,000 parking spaces?" Gunst asked. Providing people with what they need within a short distance should eliminate many of those trips, he said. Innsbrook doesn't need to look far to see the same type of concept already taking shape at West Broad Village, in a development Gunst views as complementary. Rocketts Landing, another mixed-use community, continues to grow at the Henrico-Richmond line. Innsbrook's build-out as a business center took about 30 years, and Gunst anticipates it could take at least half as long for its rebirth to be completed. Once that happens, he said, "we can double the size, because we are a credible, desirable environment." Despite struggling like most others during the recent recession – Innsbrook's vacancy rate rose as high as 22 percent – the community is now enjoying an upswing, with less than 10 percent vacancy. The community's resilience, Gunst believes, is proof that it is more than just a place to work. And though he scoffs at the notion that Innsbrook changed the course of West End development ("I think it would have [developed] regardless," he said), there's no debating the role it has played in the type of development that followed. "I hope that we created a good example for a level of quality that affected people," Gunst said. "We wanted to create more than Broad Street frontage. The market really embraced it." |
VBS seeks blood donations
Citizen Staff Reports 12/16/2013
Virginia Blood Services (VBS), the sole supplier of blood for more than 20 hospitals throughout the state of Virginia, is in need of blood donors to help replenish the local blood supply over the holidays.
A decline in blood donations is typical during the winter months as people become busy with holiday activities and travel. Patient needs remain steady, however, making it important for people to visit a VBS donor site or mobile drive to give blood. > Read more.
