Should the Senate Pass the Paycheck Fairness Act? >
Paycheck Fairness Act Is Based on a Misapplied Statistic
For women's sake, we need more hiring, not more red tape
May 4, 2012
The Paycheck Fairness Act failed to become law in the 111th Congress, when the House and Senate had overwhelming Democratic majorities and President Obama, in his State of the Union Address, called the bill "common sense."
The act is based on a misapplied statistic, that women earn 77 cents on a man's dollar. This is true when comparing all women's wages with all men's wages, but not when comparing men and women with the same experience in the same job. The 77 cent statistic combines men and women who work in different jobs with different numbers of hours. When job, experience, and hours of work are taken into account, rigorous economic studies show women make about the same as men—95 cents on a man's dollar.
[See the latest political cartoons.]
When women believe they are the victims of discrimination, they have many laws under which to seek justice, such as the Equal Pay Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and the Civil Rights Act.
On average, women will never be at complete parity with men, because they choose different jobs and many choose to combine work and family and work part time. When women work full time, they work fewer hours. In April, full-time working women worked 12 percent fewer hours than men.
Even in 2011, the year after Mr. Obama called for passage of the Paycheck Fairness Act, women on the White House staff made 82 percent of male staffers' wages. The White House put more experienced men into senior positions, skewing the average. If Mr. Obama can't pay women the same as men in his own White House, with countless competent women willing to work there, why should he expect employers to do so in their businesses?
[Dear Republicans: Contraception "Is" an Economic Issue.]
The Paycheck Fairness Act would require practically all employers to give the government information on workers' pay, by race and sex, with the goal of equalizing wages of men and women in different job classifications. This would represent a substantial intrusion of government into wage-setting and would discourage hiring.
And hiring is what the economy needs. On Friday, the Labor Department reported that the economy created only 115,000 jobs, below expectations. The unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent because more discouraged Americans stopped looking for work. The labor force participation rate declined to 63.6 percent, equal to December 1981, when there were almost no women leaders in business, law, and government. For women's sake, we need more hiring, not more red tape.

A nationwide flu outbreak could be a sufficient excuse to call up the National Guard Rapid Response Parallel support module to take control of a "national emergency" with possible declaration of martial law protocols. According to a North Carolina police lieutenant, in some three to six months declarations of martial law could be made throughout the nation. In a two part radio broadcast aired by a Virginia pastor, Lieutenant McCoy has attracted the attention of more than 20,000 listeners. "We're in huge trouble," he says as he calls up memories of white, granite gravestones all over Europe; gravestones marking the final resting place of veterans who died "for us" during World War II.

Tragically, many of our veterans are now referred to as potential "domestic terrorists" by President Obama's Department of Homeland Security. Men who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan have been declared "risks" should they choose to purchase a firearm for private … Continue Reading:FEMA and the National Guard–working for or against the American public?

Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn Architects has won a 2010 Learning by Design Grand Prize for its renovation and expansion of The School Without Walls in Washington, DC. Located on a tight urban site, the School project is an addition and modernization of the existing School Without Walls Senior High School in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of DC. The project combines the 19th-century Grant School Building with an impressive new addition that "brings out the best of the old building with a remarkable new building," according to the judges.
University of Maryland Architecture faculty and alumni played key roles in the project:
• Professor Matthew Bell, AIA: Design Principal
• Abbie Cronin, M. Arch.: Project Designer
• Leo Varone, M. Arch.: Job Captain
• Hendra Halim, M. Arch.: Design Team Member
Principal-in-Charge Sean O'Donnell is also an affiliate of the Architecture Program—in 2008, he coordinated an exhibit on school design in the Kibel Gallery with Professor Isaac Williams.
Learning by Design Spring 2010 showcases the nation's best education design and construction projects, from elementary to high school to college and university facilities. Of all of the outstanding design projects chosen for publication in Learning by Design Spring 2010, only two were selected for Grand Prize awards.

Charles A. Poland Jr.
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. — Residents of this small town gathered yesterday to bury a school-bus driver slain during the abduction of a child who is still being held by a gunman in an underground bunker.
Police say Jimmy Lee Dykes fatally shot bus driver Charles Albert Poland Jr., 66, on Tuesday, then took the 5-year-old boy from the bus and has been holding him inside his home-made shelter.
Mourners gathered at Poland's funeral yesterday afternoon at the Ozark Civic Center, about 12 miles from Midland City, where Donny Bynum, superintendent of Dale County schools, praised his devotion to the children on his bus.
"He gave the ultimate sacrifice for them," Bynum said. "He was their hero. And now Mr. Poland is an angel. He's watching over (the abducted boy), his family and those that are working tirelessly to bring one of Mr. Poland's children home."
Bynum also read letters from some of the schoolchildren.
"Since you were the nicest person I've met, I'll be the same way," one girl wrote. "I hope you are happy knowing you protected and saved many others."
A nother student wrote: "I really don't know how something so bad can happen to a good man. To me, he is a hero. And he is in a better place."

I am very much a proponent of the Boy Scout motto "Being prepared." Of course you can't truly anticipate everything that can possibly go wrong, but you can plan using some of the "lessons" that other brides have learned.
Dear Wedding Guru: "I admit it, I'm a worrywart. I have nightmares about all the things that might go wrong at my wedding. I want it to be perfect and I simply don't know how to be ready. I'm spending so much time worrying about what might go wrong, that I'm not enjoying planning this wedding! What can you suggest?"

Jaleski urges building department efficiency
Date: November 23, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longboat Key Commissioner Gene Jaleski is urging Town Manager Bruce St. Denis to consider technology advancements in the Planning, Zoning and Building Department to make it run more efficiently.
"I think we have reached a point where the community at large, and especially the business community, want and need a more user-friendly and efficient means of conducting business with the town," Jaleski wrote in an e-mail to St. Denis Saturday, Nov. 21.
Although Jaleski noted the building department's staff is "professional and friendly," he believes the department has "too many paper forms, inefficient communications and a lack of a clearly defined processes in many areas of our permitting and code compliance requirements."
By making the department run more efficiently, Jaleski believes it will make things easier for the island's business community and current and future homeowners.
Jaleski said he would like to see the following:
• A reduction of the number of required trips to Town Hall to complete a building permit by instituting an online application system.
• Clearly defined permitting requirements and a list of all required forms and applications that are available online.
• Online communications between town staff and applicants, including e-mail notifications and online helpdesk facilities, which Jaleski said will reduce trips to Town Hall and improve turn-around times.
Wrote Jaleski: "The goal should be to improve and simplify the operations of the all town departments while assisting both business and homeowners with clear concise roadmaps of what is required."
Jaleski included a link for St. Denis from a company called PermitSoft Inc., a company that specializes in online management for municipal permitting and code enforcement.

NP Rank:
How Stop/Frisk in New York City targets blacks
A federal judge has allowed (not ruled but just allowed) a court case to proceed on the clearly unconstitutional practice of stop/frisk in New York City.
Technically stop/frisk are two different things. Stop supposedly needs only reasonable suspicion. The frisk part requires an officer to determine that the person stopped is dangerous enough to frisk his clothes for weapons. About 1/2 the time stops results in frisks. The frisks are supposed to search for weapons that might be used against the officer during that encounter.
In reality they are for much more, they are searches to get weapons off the street (not the purpose allowed by the U.S. Supreme Court when it allowed frisks) and for drugs. Frisking for drugs with no probable cause, let alone shaky reasonable suspicion, is clearly unconstitutional. But again, according to the police it seems, the Constitution and the 4th Amendment are merely guidelines.
The police (even though NYPD Commissior Ray Kelly sent a memo to all officers to remind them against it) continue to arrest individuals for marijuana possession even after searching pockets or ordering them to be emptied.
In New York state, since the 1970s, it is not illegal (though a civil violation) to have small amounts of marijuana along as it isn't in plain view. Of course, it should not illegal at all, other than maybe along the lines of alcohol open container offenses.
Indeed, out of 685,424 stops in 2011, a little over .1% of them led to the recovery of guns. In fact, while the number of stops more than quadrupled from 2003 to 2011, the number of guns recovered only went up about 35%. One gun per 266 stops in 2003 v. one gun per 1000 plus stops in 2011. Very diminishing returns.
Now, if you think, well at least those guns are off the street, there are a few points to remember. If police weren't engaging in these unconstitutional acts they would be involved in other policing that would have some impact on reducing potential crime, so we can never know for sure the total net effect of stop/frisk.
Second, if the whole point was recovering guns, than we could allow the police to engage in random non-consensual searches of houses. Those who are on the ultra-rightwing and are O.K. with stop/frisk would probably support it, along as it was only in poor/minority areas. After all, that is how stop/frisk is done currently.
Now, are African Americans targeted for greater scrunity by police because they are more likely to reside in more dangerous areas, than whites? Maybe, but a study by research group, Rand, showed a hit rate of 3.3% of the time when a black citizen is stopped and frisked, versus a 6.4% when a white citizen is stopped and risked.
Hit being guns, other weapons, drugs or something else illegal. Obviously the criteria for stopping someone who is white versus someone who is black, is much higher. Whites might actually be stopped if there is actual reasonable suspicion, legally, for the officer's actions.
Indeed, NYPD officer Adil Polanco had bogus charges filed against him by his department for recording his superiors telling officers to make wrongful summons and arrests. In face, a high ranking NYPD cop told Polanco to issue a summons to a man without a dog license, though Polanco, as legally required, didn't even see a dog. The fact is, officers are still pressured to make arrests, because advancement often is a matter of how many they can issue. Ironically, the NYPD commonly downgrades serious violent offenses, to keep crime rates down.
The fact is stop/frisk, though maybe having some positive effect on reducing crime (though can never be certain) is clearly unconstitutional. Do we effectively suspend the constitutional rights of citizens of minority areas, that is what we should be asking ourselves.

This is awkward, but it is the most shared story among Saudi Twitter users today: a Saudi man has married a high school student, a teacher and a principle. All the three belong to the same school. He also has a fourth wife who works as an educational supervisor, and her work includes overseeing the school where her husband's three other wives work. The bizarre story was published in Okaz today. The paper did not name the man, but it said he is in his fifties and lives in the southern region of Jizan.
My favorite tweets commenting on the story come courtesy of Ali Sheneamer, a man originally from Jizan, who described the polygamist as being "in bed with the ministry!" Sheneamer added: "Stop him from penetrating our education system!" But someone pointed out that when it comes to marriage in the sector, quality is far more important than quantity. The example he cited is the Education Minister who is, of course, married to the King's daughter.

Studio McFetridge
PHOTOS: John Watson - Prolly Is Not Probably
If you were wondering whether or not Geoff McFetridge rides bicycles, the answer is yes. It can be apparent in his work as the bicycle becomes a theme that pops up more than you might think. But, it was more than just a theme when we met up with him in Los Angeles last month. The Tour of California was going on, somewhere, as we rose early to meet up with the artist who recently created a work for Rapha's La Centième poster project.
The Trails is a good enough spot to meet up. It has the coffee and baked goods for a start. Geoff is waiting for us when we arrive a touch late, as per usual. His bright orange riding vest stands out in the trees beside this bustling cafe. It is the orange vest that is associated with the elusive Mudfoot cycling club. How do you get one of those? What do you need to do to get on the team? What does the name mean? All these questions and more are tossed around, but not before we are caffeinated and riding up into the surrounding hills.
We cross over and descend down the backside of Griffith Park (where the famous observatory can be found) and back into 'La La Land'. The ride seems to be picking up steam or something to that effect as a very tall Ty and an even taller Woody — two of the three owners of the bike shop Golden Saddle Cyclery — sit on the front of the group and navigate us through Studio City. Look to your left and you will see any number of fancy cars that line the street, to your right the Looney Toons sign looms large (the Warner Brothers animation seems appropriate on this day).
And then we arrive at the quiet studio that houses the creative forces of Mr. McFetridge. It is painfully obvious upon stepping through the doors that this setting is run by a mind that cannot be contained. His work lines the walls. Some are covered in a thin protective coating while others lie open to the sunlight and breeze that travels throughout the spacious rooms.
To illustrate what it feels like to be in this studio, take a look at something that was created here. This 2008 Whitest Boy Alive music video, illustrated by McFetridge, is the closest interpretation of what it means to be in this studio and quite possibly the mind of Geoff McFetridge. Everywhere you turn, another trapdoor opens to reveal a different drawing, painting or creation of some sort. Each one, made up of simple lines, forms and colors belie an extraordinary depth perfected with many years of practice.
And then we are back out on the hot street, blinking up at the bright L.A. sun and smiling at what we had just seen. Or had we seen anything at all? So fantastical is his work it felt imaginary. But, yet, it can be confirmed because leaning next to the doorway in front of us is the silver Moots bicycle that led us here. Amidst our giddiness I spy the lyrics written around McFetridge's legs…
"There is a light that never goes out."
The poster designed by Geoff McFetridge for La Centième Poster Collection. The posters, while sold out, can still be viewed in person at the nearest Rapha Cycle Club, where they are all on display during the month of July for the 100th edition of the Tour de France.

By Mike McCray Staff writer
Steven A. Clark has no hesitation calling Fayetteville home, even though he bounced all over the country with his military parents.
The singer-songwriter, who now lives in Miami, explains he spent "those prime years" at Morganton Road Elementary, Seventy-First Classical Middle School and Westover High School before moving to New Jersey his freshman year.
It also didn't hurt to have Air Force parents, an Air Force grandfather and a grandmother who worked on Fort Bragg for 30 years.
Last month, Clark was named as one of SPIN Magazine's Best New Artists. He also released his album, "Fornication Under Consent of the King," in September. Last month, Clark performed multiple shows at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. It was his second time at the annual music festival that has been the breakout stage for artists such as Bon Iver, My Morning Jacket, Arcade Fire, TV On The Radio, Jason Mraz, M.I.A., Mumford & Sons, and more recently rappers Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky.
"Both times were awesome," Clark said in an interview. "This year, people were actually singing the songs, and that was super cool."
Crowds are singing along now, but there was a time when music was Clark's own little secret. He always had sung but had been mum on details, something fitting of someone dubbed "Most Quiet" in his senior yearbook.
After bouncing around three high schools, Clark returned to North Carolina, attending High Point University.
For Clark, moving back meant returning to a comfort zone personally and musically.
"The most important things I was listening to was definitely in my North Carolina days," Clark said.
Clark said a large chunk of his inspiration today comes from the R&B, pop and radio hits he soaked up during his youth in Fayetteville.
Growing up, Clark remembers his influences coming from big names such as Michael Jackson, Sade and Seal. His mother's musical taste rubbed off on him as well.
"I used to ride around with my mom and hear her play that first Boyz II Men album, like on repeat," Clark laughs. "That song 'It's So Hard to Say Goodbye,' I don't know what it was but I needed to hear that everyday."
Clark said those influences were a product of growing up where he did.
"Back when radio had it and MTV mattered, in North Carolina that's all we got," Clark said. "That's your culture. Seeing those videos, hearing the radio play something new."
After several years in North Carolina, Clark realized his musical opportunities were limited, so he moved to Miami in 2006. Comfort was never the issue. Clark just wanted to see and experience more.
"Wanting to get out of the bubble," Clark said, describing the spark behind the move. "I went back to North Carolina, discovered music and realized I didn't want to be there anymore so I did what I had to do."
Clark's brand of steamy R&B music has recently earned comparisons to buzzworthy transformative R&B acts such as Frank Ocean and The Weeknd, North Carolina duo The Foreign Exchange, and even Seal.
"You never really know how much you touch people starting out," Clark said. "To see comments, and people are like 'Oh, man, your album is album of the year,' and I'm like 'Man, I did this stuff in my bedroom.' It's just crazy to me. It's incredible."
With his new album, Clark said he knew what he wanted from the project after just a few songs in.
"I just felt it," he said. "These things, they make themselves. The songs, they write themselves. You just need to keep going off that feeling."
Clark doesn't really have a concept of where his music is going in future projects. He just wants the process to feel natural.
"That's how you know you're doing it right," Clark said. "There's a way of making popular music and not being a sellout, one of those industry robots."
As accolades roll in, Clark said it means more coming from North Carolina.
"It almost feels better than national recognition, just the fact that you're reaching home," Clark said.
He plans to continue experimenting with his music until he finds that perfect balance of staying true to himself, yet ready for mainstream consumption.
"That's what I'm trying to find. That's the experiment," Clark said. "I'm almost there. I can hear it, I just hope people can feel it."

9 yr old want's an xbox for Christmas. I offered my 2nd PC, but for various reasons, that didn't fly. So I'm going to be doing some shopping prior to the season rush. Question is what model and accessories to get with it... what model, wireless, HDD capacity, optical drive, controllers etc etc etc ? I haven't a clue what's the latest rage or up coming technology, is there an Xbox 540 coming out ?
There really is only one xbox to get which is the new shiny black one with built in wifi and 250gb hdd all you will need besides that is games http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Xbox-360/Xbox-360-Hardware-Console/abcat0701001.c?id=abcat0701001
Do what parents do and get him an entirely different console and say "That's what you wanted, right?" when he opens it up. (I do this with my niece and nephew all the time) Seriously though, there's no new Xbox coming out this year, next year is doubtful as well as they just came out with Kinect (wii like motion sensing stuff). This is the latest version: Microsoft Xbox 360 (New Design) 250 GB Hard Drive... You may want to also get: -another controller -Xbox Live Membership Card (for online gaming) -HDMI cable (if needed, it's not included) -and of course, games. Check at local retail outlets as they sometimes have nice bundles on sale.
Don't worry about a new Xbox coming out, it won't be happening for a long while:http://www.gamespot.com/news/6211650.html And as said, you could pick him up a nice 360 Slim, maybe an extra controller an some games. Kinect should also be coming out soon so if you want to get in on some motion control action you might want to get one of those. There is a wide variety of bundles to pick from, so i say pick the one you can afford and that you think is best for him/her. Here's some:http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=xbox 360&x=0&y=0
I say box him up an Atari 2600 for giggles first, let him open that, make sure the camera is running Then hand him the Xbox360.
Well, at least I tried to sell him my second PC. He's dead set on the Xbox 360 ^ thanks for the feedback. I recall seeing the "Slim" version, and the new motion sensing unit ...sounds like they're all coming out with some variant on them. Haven't even started shopping around, will be doing that tonight. Even better! LOL.
There also the limited edition "Halo Reach" xbox on sale at the moment .. obviously will help IF he's a fan of Halo
Not yet Are any aftermarket controllers better than others... or just go with stock? This will definietly be used for multiplayer - other kids on the block.
Meh... if your kid is around the teens then I'd suggest getting any controller he wants for himself (although if it's a surprise present that'll be a little hard to go about) but then I'd buy the cheapest kind I could find for the other kids on the block who may come round to play
Just go with stock (which i prefer - they got the controllers right first time with the 360). The new xbox you've been linked to above comes with 1 black wireless controller. You will want to buy a play and charge kit for it - basically it comes needing AA batteries which you'll have to have spares in of in case it runs out in the middle of a game unless you buy the play and charge kit which has a rechargable battery pack you use instead of AA betteries and allows you to charge the controller from the USB in the console while you use it. Just make sure you get the right colour play and charge kit (my friend has a white controller with a black play and charge kit - it looks stupid with a black battery pack in a white controller Depending on if online multiplayer is important (will they be playing online with friends who also have xboxes?) then a wireless headset may be a good little extra - they're rechargable through USB and are nicer to use than the standard wired headset which wires into the xbox controller. If you will use it for watching DVDs, renting from netflix or using it to play media from your PC then the xbox remote control is also pretty good. For you if you want to use either a controller or wireless headset from the xbox in your PC then you can buy a wireless receiver for windows which lets you connect the xbox peripherals to your pc - i use the wireless headset for voice comms when online gaming on my pc.
Xbox360 having a 10-year lifespan doesn't mean that the next Xbox is coming in 2016. It can come tomorrow, and Xbox360 would still be sold, like Sony still sells its 10-year old PlayStation 2.
Not true "too", but only true. You can't determine when the next generation of Xbox is coming based on what's Xbox360's market lifespan.
Someone had mentioned the Netflix. What sort of video quality through the online services? Is it Wireless G through to your ISP??? Also regarding the DVD player, is XBox supporting any type of Blu ray player? I think they started with HD DVD and Sony had BD exclusively, is that still the case?
Tell him daddy's got no money, hence he will have to settle for a box with a "X" marked on it. And then offer him your second pc again
Sadly I'm in the UK so I can't get netflix, so i can't say much for the quality - you can rent HD films through zune here in the UK though and that's pertty darned good (not quite bluray but still enough for me). You have a 802.11b/g/n wireless card built into the new xboxes and that connects to your wireless router (it also has ethernet if you'd rather use wires) and streams directly over the internet. As for blurays - not going to happen with the 360, maybe not with it's successor so it is DVDs only through the DVD drive. You can play some media formats (avi, wmv and some others - not sure on mkv) over the wireless from a pc or off a usb stick and those videos can be higher quality than dvd.
No messing around, go straight for the 250GB model, also known as the Slim or S It has a 250GB HDD (obviously), WiFi 'N' and 1 or 2 wireless control pads (depending on if you get a deal or not).
Read the first post? The kid is only 9 years old & the game is rated mature (17+) :shadedshu Anyway i would buy the cheapest one , beside they all can play the same games anyway unless money is no problem for you? Beside the kid may get tired after just a few weeks & will hardly play with the Xbox anymore... well you know kids sometimes...
Maybe so, but it's never stopped um before. but in all fairness it depends on each owns personal parenting rules.
Good info thanks... the plus is that BD players are cheap anyways. Still hard to beleive that MS hasn't ponied up the license fee to have them. But then again, I'm not a fan of Sony. I digress.

Here is the required post about the Avengers film, that Loki interrogation sequence, and themes of weakness, expectation, and vulnerability. When I say required, I mean that everybody else is. But I will soldier on bravely, just like every other person on the internet in love with their own opinion.
So, Natasha's most constant recurring themes are themes of control. Comic books are vast and largely un-sum-up-able, but every character has central metaphors that shine through multiple arcs and adaptations, and I think questions of control, questions of agency, are a huge part of her equation. Duane Swierczynski is the current writer on Birds of Prey, but he also did a run on Black Widow, and this is something he had to say about it:
From the very beginning, she had no say in her own destiny, which is a very noir, very dark kind of outlook on life. And yet, she fought back from that and has now taken her own life in her own hands again. I guess I respond to those kinds of characters. Characters that seem screwed, who are also talented but are put in a difficult position and who fight their way out of it. That's what appeals to me about her. Despite the convoluted, difficult life, she's come out on top. And now her mission, the way I see it, is that she wants to free other people from being controlled and used. That's her thing, I believe, and why she is equally super hero as she is a spy.Natasha is someone whose specific skillset was forced upon her, something beyond her immediate control, but it's also the only means she has to take her own life back.
WHOA, DUDE. WHOA. Read the whole thing. Just do it, you can thank me later.

BAINBRIDGE — Despite being on their home floor, the Bainbridge boys basketball team couldn't use the friendly confines to overcome a big, athletic and determined Northside, Columbus team Saturday night during the Region 1-AAAAA finals.
Northside prevailed, but it needed overtime to do it, 60-58.
"They're just so big, and athlete-wide, they're all 6-5, 6-7," Bainbridge coach Rickey McCullough said. "We battled all night. I'm proud of the effort."
In regulation, Bainbridge had a chance to win it, but leading scorer Dontavious Marshall — who was held to just six points in the loss and fouled out in overtime after being double-teamed all night — missed a 3-pointer. Tyree Crump grabbed the rebound and was fouled as he calmly sank both free throws to tie the game with .5 seconds left and send it to overtime. Northside held off a late BHS charge from there for the win.
Bainbridge (19-9), which was led by Crump's 16, will host Creekside in the first round of state Wednesday. Jamez Harris added 11 points, and B.J. Cheatem and Stephen Johnson each chipped in 10.

"The magic of the electronic village is transforming health information. The mouse and keyboard have extended the stethoscope to the 500 million people now online." — Dr. Edward Creagan

Protect yourself from workplace stress
By Edward T. Creagan, M.D.
7 comments posted
Our institution is in the midst of one of the largest construction projects in our history. It will involve years of construction and hundreds of workers. When you walk by the site, it's obvious that there's a tremendous emphasis on safety. Throughout the complex signs are posted that say safety is everyone's responsibility.
Need more help? |
If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
Each worker is required to wear a construction-grade helmet, protective eyewear when appropriate, steel-toe shoes and a safety harness when working above ground level. Some of the work involves creating pedestrian tunnels, and those workers receive additional instruction in the high-risk aspects of the job.
This experience made me reflect that each of us works in high-risk situations. You may not use heavy equipment or be at risk of falling, but is your work environment one of stress, deadlines and demands that often exceed your resources?
The risks are different but no less real. If you sit back and do nothing, you run the risk of a major injury, which might be a stroke, a heart attack, diabetes, or a host of emotional issues such as anxiety and insomnia. So what can you do to protect yourself?
Taking care of your physical and mental health is your best defense. You can shift the odds in your favor with a few simple rules, such as getting a good night's sleep, exercising and reaching out to others when you need help. No person is an island, and we depend on each other for strength and comfort.
What have I missed from this construction scene?

I drive 60 miles a day, three hundred miles a week to have a job. Why doesn't anyone talk bout driving stres? Where are all the wellness nazis on this topic? Average commuter speeds are 10 miles an hour above the speed limit. Maybe 30-40% drive 80-85 while tailgating, weaving in and out, blabbing on their cell phones, etc. Big trucks don't brake on down hill grades and are on top of you in seconds. Plus, in my area, bad weather is common in winter -- doubling the commute to two -three nerve wracking hours. Stress. Oh yes. Funny that with 30,000 to 40,000 deaths a year and over two million "accidents," no one treats this as a wellness or health issue!

Oh, workplace stress! Deadlines! Demands! You're right -- even when it's not at the level of hard hats and goggles, we should be tuned into the impact of stress on our bodies. In addition to the good defenses of sleep, exercise and asking for help, I would emphasize good nutrition. The right nutrients can be our best allies!

We need to take precautions as well to save us from getting stressed in workplace. I've implementing these strategies and it has great impact. Now I know what kinds of situation can make me stressed and I tired to avoid the situation. If I can't avoid I try to solve it rather than leave it untreated.

I liked the article as I do many of those in this newsletter. I am at present off work due to episodes of anxiety and depression due to the nature of my work in a hospital school and having a huge range of students most with some very chronic mental health issues. I have unfortunately taken on board too much emotion and ownership of things I have no control of. My problems have been increased due to the work environment and other people most significantly a "bully boss" who had no idea of the in- class pressures due to the complexity of the mix of students. I am currently visiting a psychologist on a weekly basis and have had assistance from a psychiatrist. Both have begun to reframe not only my working environment and expectations but have begun to give me back "my life". GET HELP when you know things are getting out of hand and take control of your circumastance as there had to be a better way so all involved are protected from burnout. The bottom line is that putting yourself under too much pressure helps no one even those you are trying to help. cheers tom

Gwenah, It is not too late to make friends at work. People may be surprised at first, but they will be happy to chat. It really does make the work day better. Start out slow and try it ~ best wishes! One of the other ways I keep life in perspective is to always take a lunch break. Most of my co-workers work through lunch, but I need that bit of free time for myself. People find me to be relaxed, but that is only because I try hard to take care of my own happiness. Still there is always room for improvement. Thanks for the great topic ~ Cheers!

.. i missed everything.. from being busy and all focused on works given to me, i think i have missed everything that pertains to "having a life"..having a life in the sense that, i no longer have time to have some simple/quick chats with my friends here at my workplace.. oh how i wish i know how to start reaching out for them again.. i dont know how plus im thinking negative that they may reject me now that i have turned into a snobbish type of person when im at work..

7 Weeks Pregnant
All About Baby
This is another big week for your wee one. Early in week 7, the embryo still looks like a tadpole, but by the end of the week it will have transformed into a tiny being that's distinctly human-like. Its body is continuing to lengthen, the arms begin to bend at the elbows and curve around the heart, which is beating even more rhythmically now. By the end of this week the embryo's whole skeleton—made of bendable cartilage, like a shark—will be fully formed. (To be replaced by bone soon enough.) The baby has a digestive system now, as well as kidneys, liver, heart, spleen, and even an appendix. Your placenta has sprouted hundreds of minute hair-like projections (called villi), making it look like a fuzzy ball. The villi have the important job of carrying nutrients and oxygen from your bloodstream to your growing baby.

Frog N Snail
Online Reservations
this time we went with a group of friends and they managed us all as if we were a table of two. intimate, personal experience, great food. a must for regular dining if you live in lakeview, if not it is well worth the trip.
The two times I have dined here, I have not been disappointed. The menu is always full of interesting options & is constantly changing. The chef is very innovative with different textures and tastes of each dish created. I recommend getting a few different dishes for the table and tasting everything.
The food was fantastic and prices were reasonable as well. I was there to meet some old friends and the staff didn't try to rush us which was great. We had reservations for 11:30am on a Saturday and there were not lots of people there--which was fine with us. Made for a really relaxing brunch.
Perfectly prepared unique menu. Everything is top drawer.
Really enjoyed our brunch! Homey, comfort food with a elevated perspective. The Bacon Buns are wrong but so right! Really enjoyed the Crepadilla and the Hawkeye sandwich. The bottle service Mimosa is great idea and a great value. Very friendly staff and good service. Give it a try.
What a great find in our neighborhood! The host and wait staff could not have been more gracious. This was a special birthday dinner for my husband and our first dinner out in a few months. Our host that seated us knew of my original comments on the OpenTable reservation and sat us at terrific booth in a great location. Our waitress, Chandra provided us with her menu recommendations and they were spot-on. The appetizers, salad, entrees & desserts were all unique & nicely displayed, and quite delicious. The Lyonnaise salad was really fabulous! Great wine selection by our bartender. The entire evening was fantastic thanks to the thoughtful, friendly staff & wonderful chef. A lovely dessert on the house was so appreciated. Will return!!
We love this place. It's a little slice of sophistication on Broadway and food is always terrific.
Frog and Snail is a neighborhood gem. Great decor. Fabulous food.. and a mixologist with real skills! We used to come for the food--until we met John. He has become our favorite reason to visit Frog and Snail. He's fun, sparkly, and mixes a great cocktail. He will surprise you with one of his favorite concoctions that tastes amazing--he is also very knowledgeable when it comes to wine, and life. Stop in for a drink, solve the world's problems, get over a bad romance--he does it all! Highly recommend. As for the food--super fresh, nuanced flavors and wonderful. , if you are a mussels fan--don't miss this place. Frog and Snail's mussels are some of the BEST in the city.
Stopped by for brunch with an old friend on our way to Market Days and had a lovely time. The food was great, just what I'd hoped for; bacon buns, rabbit hash, shrimp and grits- all delicious. Our waitress was wonderful, attentive without being obtrusive, happy and smiling on what for me would have been a terrible day to work, ( I just hate working Sundays ). It's a beautiful space, if a bit cool, but probably warms up quite a bit when the room is full. Will be back for sure, and if I lived in the neighborhood, would make it a regular stop.
Prices were very reasonable for French Fusion. My husband and I enjoyed the steak and salmon. The blueberry pie was delectable!
The food at this place is INCREDIBLE - Dale is legit. However, the bartender was extremely rude to me during my visit. Other than that, the place is a definite must-try.
We live in the neighborhood so we have been here @4 times. Dinner Menu is brief and they do change seasonally. All of our meals and appetizers Have been great, nice presentation and very good flavors. Brunch was Equally very nice. You should enjoy F & S.
Order the Baker's Basket to kick off your brunch - amazing!
We were very excited about the menu and everything we ordered. We eat out everyday for lunch and only rarely go out at night. I guess we went on a Sunday evening and we will go back again.
The flavor combinations are exotic and everything we have had to date has been delicious! If you have food sensativities or preferences they will try to accommodate.
I enjoyed every minute of my time at Frog n Snail. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was chic, and the food was amazing! If it wasn't rude to do so, I probably would've licked my plate clean...literally. If you're a foodie, then you need to check out Frog n Snail.
Every item on the menu sounded great. Our party had a hard time commiting to a dish. As soon as we picked one we saw something else that might be better. We could have easily ordered every dish on the menu but we showed some restraint especially since there were only four in our party. Each dish was perfectly delicious. We look forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu. The staff is very friendly too making the service a wonderful part of our experience. Thank you for a great time!
Had a great dinner here. We shared almost all of the appetizers and had a salad and a few dessert. It was all fantastic. Really enjoyed the Truffle Dumplings and the Mussels. Of course the Frog's legs and Snail were great as well.
We ate there outdoors on Thursday Mussels Night and liked the meal very much. Comes with crispy fries and a beer for $20. Can't beat that!
I've been there several times and I am always very satisfied with the food, the service, the ambience! Love it either for all you can eat mussels or any other day, it's always a pleasure.
Sophisticated industrial vibe, great service, and really good food. The only drawback going forward is a limited menu! We would definitely go back.
Was looking to book at Sprout Restaurant for a group of 6, but it was unavailable. I noticed Frog and Snail on the website as another 'Dale' option and decided to give it a try. Thoroughly enjoyable! Would definitely recommend. Food was amazing.
While the menu is somewhat small, the dishes are excellent: fresh ingredients, creative and beautifully plated. Great alternative to many of the noisy places in Lakeview.
Frog N Snail is a welcome addition to the East Lakeview neighborhood with good creatively prepared food and very good service.
Stopped in for dinner right before a concert at the Vic, and it hit the spot! Delicious Duck on a windy, rainy night, and the half price wine bottle was an extra treat :-) I always have a great time here!
Our second time at F&S. We shared the frog's legs app - a smallish portion for $9. Nicely cooked but the breading needed seasoning. One of our mains was the "Kitchen Sink" cassoulet; very tasty though could use more duck and less chicken. Other main was the trout; one of the best trout dishes I've ever had. Portion size for the mains was ample. Service was attentive and helpful. We were there rather early (5:00) so the place was quiet. Prices are fair. All in all, nice place, particularly if you're going to be in the area.
The Spring Veggie Tart was amazing. The manager came over and said hi, she was very friendly.
Dined with a group of friends on a Saturday night. The service was friendly, fast and every plate was scrapped clean. Highly recommend the Truffle Dumplings, Mussels, Steak Frites, and Beef Stroganoff. The Scottish Salmon and Duck Pierogi (yes, Duck, not Rabbit per the online menu) were also tasty in terms of individual components, but the sauce bringing the elements together on each of those dishes was incredibly salty. The Chocolate Pretzels dessert is very rich, but worked when shared with a group. Will definitely come back to try other items!
Def check this place out! Love Chef Dale Levitski...wish he was there when I went! Tried the homemade ricotta and it was ok. I think it was too hyped up for me. My friend had the roasted beet salad...I thought it was pretty typical but he loved it. Main course: the duck pierogies were freaking delish. My only complaint is that they only give you 3! Def not enough! Also tried the kitchen sink cassoulet...tasty stuff! We ended our meal with 3 desserts: the maple all spice affogato--yum; creme brulee--yum; chocolate covered pretzels--eh. A little dry. Interesting concept, but just didn't do it for me. I would def come back! Once more for dinner and another for brunch!
The food had many unusual ingredients and yet it all seemed to work and hang together. Even the ersatz cassoulet had a great flavor. The burger was tender and juicy and the salmon was fresh and delicious. The duck peroghi needed more duck as the little that was there, was barely discernible. However, the flavors were light and complex. Our waitress was friendly, smiley and informative, and gave us plenty of time to talk. The only complaint would be the back servers who brought the food and cleared the table. They paid no attention to what was happening at the table and were at best indifferent to our dining experience.
This was a great find on open table. I wanted to go outside of my usual neighborhood and went on open table to see what restaurants had a 7:00 pm reservation open. The restaurants reviews were very positive so I decided this was easy to get to off the red line and made the reservation. Although it wasn't so busy we needed the reservation. (can't believe it wasn't more crowded on a Saturday night) The food was outstanding and worth returning for, My husband couldn't say it enough that he thought the chicken dish was the best he ever had. My mushroom crepe was out of this world. If you get a chance check out the menu as I don't think you will be disappointed.
Food was delicious and our waitress was engaging and prompt. We had the steak strogonoff and burger, both of which I would recommend.
I ordered the cassoulet, which was chock full of beans, beans, beans, some duck sausage (3 very small pieces), torn chicken (mostly dark meat) and bacon (about 6 little cubes). I could only eat about 1/3 of it because after I pulled out the small amount of meat, there wasn't much left except the beans. The dish was kind of bland, too. The only time I got some real flavor was when I had a bit with bacon or the sausage on the fork. It needed salt (and I don't usually salt my food at the table!) or something to bump up the flavors. The beef stroganoff was better, according to the hubby. Beef was tender, noodles al dente. Frog legs and dumpling appetizers were also very good, I scraped off the breading as it wasn't needed.
This is a nice new place in a great neighborhood. New twists on classic food.
Truffled dumpling appetizer with cauliflower and apples outstanding.
This place is fabulous. The menu is wonderful and the food is some of the best in town. The salmon is outstanding.
Almost invisible in a densely populated area of lesser restaurants, Frog N Snail is a true find. Superb food, friendly and prompt service, and an attractive room. Worth a trip.
I had the salmon and it was fabulous! My dining partner had the pork chop, but felt that the menu did not describe her dish. She like it very much, just wanted a better description of the item before seeing it on her plate. We shared a bottle of red wine.
I've been here a few times for brunch and have enjoyed it each time.
Best Beef Stroganoff I've ever had including my own
The food was so flavorful and such interesting combinations, with just enough spice to make it really interesting. The salmon was outstanding as were the mussels. Recommend!
Just a great looking restaurant in a hip neighborhood. Great food, but try the burger.
Food was good, easily accommodating gluten, dairy and shellfish allergies. Service was prompt without being overbearing. Music was way too loud, and it was 1970's hard rock -- think AC/DC. Impossible for these 49-52 year olds to have pleasant dinner conversation.
An evening at Frog N Snail is always a treat. This is a restaurant where you need to order more than one item just for the joy of tasting the distinct flavors that they offer. It is a favorite of entire family.
Very pleased with this unique eatery. Yes, there are frog legs on the menu - with a spicy, green chile infused "frog sauce" - but that's only the tip of the iceberg. The Scottish salmon was perfectly prepared, with a leek, white bean and brussel sprout bed that sang with flavors. The beef stroganoff was prepared with braised boneless short ribs in a savory madiera sauce with homemade noodles. Luscious! The granny smith apple dessert was unbelievable, while the lemon cake parfait was okay, not great. A modern casual ambience and gengerally attentive wait staff topped off an excellent meal. We'll be sure to return.
The tuna crostini was burnt - but instead of making a new dish for me, they brought me more bread. I guess I was supposed to deconstruct the dish and transfer it to non-burnt bread. Don't think I'll go back.
I ate here with a friend, and tried the frog legs with fried green tomatoes. Nice crispy coating, but still taste like chicken. My frien's chicken was a little salty, but my beef stroganoff was great. The butternut squash creme brule was awesome. You would never know you were eating squash. Nice wine selection and good cocktail list. The restuarant was pretty empty which is sad, as this place is a gem.
We went here after attending a play at a local theater. Food was good, interesting menu and well presented. Service was good although the person that seated us was a bit snippy (He was a waiter not the hostess who was seating another party). Reasonable prices and nice portions. I good dining option for this area.
I've been wanting to try the Frog and Snail for some time but have been put off by reviews of folks noteing half the menu wasn't available. When I arrived I was prepared to be disappointed, the only thing they didn't have was the chocolate covered pretzels on the dessert menu, so on my night the menu was a go however we didn't have dessert because of the pretzels not being available. I chose the pumpkin soup and the dumplings. The dumplings where amazing but the soup was just so so. For the price I would have expected more. I wanted to ask for salt and pepper, but didn't find staff to ask while eating it. The menu is small and pricey, around $18 a dish.
Everything was perfect. Friendly, attentive, but never nosy service. A simple and non-tapas (I hope that trend goes away fast) focused menu. Fresh, delightful, original dishes that constantly played with flavors and textures. Oh, and prices that your pocketbook will appreciate. Started with the truffle dumplings (wife hates cauliflower, loved this dish). Continued onto the Chicken Saltimbocca for my wife and the Duck for me. Both were exceptional. My duck fell off the bone. Finished with desert that I can't recall the name of, there was white chocolate mousse, grapefruit (ugh, grapefruit), and a few other things. It was as good as the rest of the meal. Very highly recommended!
