EDMONTON - A 38-year-old Edmonton man is charged with more than a dozen child luring, pornography and harassment charges following an eight-month police investigation.
The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams' (ALERT) Internet Child Exploitation Unit began the investigation in January after receiving complaints about a man who was communicating inappropriately with teenage girls on social media websites, said Sgt. Mike Lokken.
Investigators arrested one man at his workplace on Tuesday with the help of the Stony Plain and Spruce Grove RCMP. Several electronic devices were seized from him for forensic examination, Lokken said.
Michael John Patterson is charged with 15 offences, including six counts of luring, five counts of criminal harassment, two counts of distributing child pornography and two counts of extortion.
The five victims in the case range in age from 13 to 17 and are all from Edmonton. There could be others police aren't yet aware of.
"Our investigation is continuing and there is a possibility that there are more victims as well," Lokken said.
It's important to remember people online may not always be who they say they are, he added.
"Never add somebody from a social media website that you don't know personally," he said. "That's the best way to protect yourself."
Patterson made his first appearance in court on Tuesday and was released on bail. According to investigators, he must follow several conditions, including not contacting any victims or anyone under the age of 16, not possessing devices that can access the Internet and not attending any libraries, Internet cafes or any other place where he can access the Internet.
He is scheduled to appear in court again Friday.
The Internet Child Exploitation Team investigations cases of child sexual exploitation that occur online while also working on public education and prevention programs.

The Swain County Department of Social Services board has agreed to meet with the Swain County commissioners to discuss whether DSS employees and officials should be suspended due to an ongoing criminal investigation of the agency.
The two boards will meet at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 3, at the Swain County Administration Building.
A majority of the Swain County commissioners have asked the DSS board to suspend with pay employees named in a State Bureau of Investigation probe until the investigation is concluded.
So far, only one of the employees named has been put on leave – Craig Smith, a social worker with the agency since 2006, who was directly involved in falsifying records following the death of a child, according to an SBI search warrant. However, Smith told investigators he was acting on orders from his boss. Smith also told investigators that the DSS director and program manager knew he had never followed up on whether the child saw a doctor, even though he had fabricated a report to the contrary.

What is it that makes us Floridians miss the autumn season? Is it that we are tired of the hot weather, or do we miss the taste of fall? Granted it is nice to have cooler mornings and less humidity but is it the fresh picked crisp apple we miss or the smell of pumpkin pie through our neighbors' windows. With Labor Day behind us and Halloween fast approaching try explaining to a child what it was like growing up with a true autumn season. Picking apples and pressing cider is as foreign to them as their iPod is to me.
Nothing can describe the excitement in the air as we went to the harvest fair and how for the next few months Mother Nature turned the leaves of the trees into the most beautiful shades of reds, oranges and yellows one could ever imagine. I explained this to my seven year old who stared at me as if I had gone completely over the edge. What was I talking about? They had both seen the leaves turn colors every year… via the internet so what was the big deal? The big deal is that as summer does turn to autumn; we do miss the imagistic landscapes, but the true meaning of autumn is family; and Village On The Isle is family.
The VOTI family is unique, we do celebrate fall; we decorate the campus, invite friends and family to our houses, plan special holiday meals and spend more time with each other. We may not have crisps apples off a tree but we do have fresh baked apple pie. Our apple cider may come from a store, our pumpkins do not have frost on them and they are smaller than what we had up north but on Thanksgiving morning, we the VOTI family will be celebrating our blessings as Floridians' do with a wonderful meal and a dip in the pool. Come visit us this fall at VOTI and see what you are missing!

Nozomi to Kimio
From Mangafox:
Suga Kimio finds himself hiding in the girls locker room, unable to move or escape the situation as the girls in his school crowd in. Although he originally had no ulterior motives, he found himself panicking as he heard the girls coming in and hid in a locker. Komine Nozomi, one of the shy girls in his class finds him, but surprisingly covers for him. Perplexed but glad, Kimio goes home. Later that night, he gets a text from Nozomi who happens to live across the way on the same floor of the complex they both live in. She blackmails him into agreeing to show each others bodies when she texts him. Kimio has to abide by Nozomis insane demands or risk ruining his school life so they both start their little peep show through each others windows Since this is from the author of Nozoki Ana, and I didn't see a thread for this series yet, I thought we'd give it a go.
2012-09-17, 00:18 | Link #2 |
I See Right Through You!
Finally, someone makes one. This is alot more tame compared Nozoki Ana, but the main female reminds us Emiru in terms of her eccentricity, but she's still awesome regardless. None the less, the 7 current chapters are an amazing read.
Spoiler for Chapter 7:
2012-09-17, 00:33 | Link #4 |
I See Right Through You!
I know right, it's amazing how she got a cute and timid busty girl to her cause. Knowing her she probably has special plans for her later.
I wonder how she'll get the jealous cheerleader though, she'll be problem for sure. Off-topic: Thanks, I just picked up Graces yesterday and Sophie is a part of my waifu collection. Can't wait for Xillia too.
2012-09-17, 01:20 | Link #6 |
I See Right Through You!
If the girl is like Emiru it'll definitely be interesting what she has in store for the cheerleader. Emiru sure knows how to read people, and pick them a part piece by piece.
I wouldn't say an Aizen turnabout, think of it as a Kanade Suzutsuki troll.

I feel Suga as a teen boy is bit too resistant towards Nozomi, it's not like he's super devoted to some other dream girl either. I guess if he gives in then there's no story but I don't feel there's any reason for him to not be a bit more excited at his situation.
Also, Sonodo's hairstyle is extremely attractive. I guess I'm a just sucker for light haired girls =P. |

Gonna say it right now:
I don't like the pervert photographer girl. Anyway, I'm betting the pictures she doesn't want him to see are of her looking at him with a bit of a love-struck expression, she has shown it before and being how she is I doubt she would want him to know how she's starting to feel.

Testimonials from the Heart
When clients ask me what personal lubricant I suggest, one brand comes to mind. Good Clean Love. Because Good Clean Love uses organic ingredients from sustainable sources, and because their products feel and taste great – without having the dangerous amounts of glycerin that other companies use, I recommend GCL's products above all others. And if an adult boutique wants me to send my clients there, one of the 'weeding out' questions I ask is, 'What lubes do you carry?' If they don't carry GCL, I'll think twice before sending anybody to their store. My advice as a sexologist is: don't just ask for any lubricant. Ask for Good Clean Love by name. It's good for you, your partner, and the Earth – that's a menage-a-trois worth celebrating! —Eric Marlowe Garrison, MAEd, MSc (London), ACS
Just a note to tell all of you that I am a thrilled customer and will be from now on. I am a Cancer survivor for 5 years now and was miserable for all those years not being able to make adequate love with my husband. It was so painful he was afraid to touch me. You are right all those other products make it worse. I burned and it felt like sand paper sex (as my Gyno puts it)! Your Good Clean Love Is a MIRACLE !!! THANK YOU so much. Anyway…you gave me my sex life back…. Very truly yours, Linda
As a sexual medicine gynecologist and sexual counselor, that specializes in female pelvic health, I am often faced with a range of female sexual dysfunction issues. One of the most effective lubricants that I recommend for persistent vaginal dryness and pain is the Good Clean Love brand personal lubricants. Even among my most sensitive patients,including cancer survivors, these lubricants are well tolerated and permit my patients to have a positive sexually satisfying sexual and sensual experience. I recommend Good Clean Love products because they are natural, organic and healthy alternatives to the petrochemical products that dominate the market. —Dr. Michael Krychman
I am a Director Women's Health at the Marino Center for Integrative Health in Cambridge Massachusetts and would love to have information and samples of your Good clean love lubricant available for my patients. This is the best lubricant I have used and want to get the word out. I find the best way is to have a small sample available for patients to use. After the first experience I think my patients will be hooked. —Deb Morrill

This island is just WOW! Crazy detail. I mean check the grounds in the forest up north (maybe same ground/grass everywhere?) but its the best ive seen in ARMA ever! It looks so good its scary.
However due to this awesomeness my PC cant run the island. Too much lag in the forests. Flying around and being in the cities/villages is ok, but inside the forests with trees lying around and that beautiful grass is too much for my PC. Argh.
I need a better system fast cause i cant stay away from this island.

ARRRRRGGH that chezh (sp) site is rediculous. One I dont know the lanaguage so I cant find download. And the button I THINK is download has that stpid captcha thing that iv tried a million times and it dosent work. Somone please advise
Ok i noticed now that the map doesnt lag at all when i remove the grass (Terrain Detail OFF), but with it set to LOW i lag too much to play.
It would be great if the clutter could be less at the lowest terrain setting. I understand that is probably huge amount of work, but the balance in the settings is not so good when the island doesnt lag at all, and then the lowest grass setting makes it unplayable.
Good stuff for this island: Schnapsdrosels mercenaries and EMERYS buggy's. Fits real nice. Such an amazing island... Looks so real.

Kit for the detection and quantification of apoptotic cell death on a single-cell level by light microscopy in immunocyto- and immunohistochemistry
- Sensitive: The maximum intensity of labeling (cell staining) of apoptotic cells is higher than the nick translation method.
- Fast: The use of fluorescein-dUTP allows analysis of the samples directly after the TUNEL reaction, but before the addition of the secondary detection system.
- Convenient: The direct labeling procedure using fluorescein-dUTP allows verification of the efficiency of the TUNEL reaction during the assay procedure.
- Accurate: Identification of apoptosis at a molecular level (DNA-strand breaks) and identification of cells at the very early stages of apoptosis.
- Flexible: No substrate included; provides the opportunity to select the staining procedure of choice.

Alarms Sounded As Federal Ed. Cuts Loom
A pair of new reports raise dire warnings about the impact on school districts and federal education programs from the sweeping, across-the-board spending cuts set to hit all federal agencies in early January if Congress doesn't act to head them off. Of those surveyed, nearly 70 percent are betting they'll have to cut professional development,, and 58 percent say they'd expect to cut enrichment, after-school, and other programs. More than half say they anticipate laying off instructional staff and boosting class size. Alyson Klein, Education Week, July 10, 2012
In Memphis Classrooms, the Ghost of Segregation Lingers On
Manassas, an all-black, nearly all-poor school, has a lot going for it: a new building, a new set of intensely dedicated teachers who willingly work on Saturdays, and the attention — and money — of national foundations and advocacy groups. The school could be a poster child for the "no-excuses" education reform movement, which argues that schools and teachers should be able to help all students succeed, regardless of the challenges they face outside of school. But the reforms that drove its success are now up in the air. Sarah Garland, The Hechinger Report, Feb. 14, 2012
Education Gap Grows Between Rich and Poor, Studies Say
Education was historically considered a great equalizer in American society, capable of lifting less advantaged children and improving their chances for success as adults. But a body of recently published scholarship suggests that the achievement gap between rich and poor children is widening, a development that threatens to dilute education's leveling effects. Sabrina Tavernise, The New York Times, Feb. 9, 2012
Pink Slips and Recalls Part of Job Description for Many Ohio Teachers
Last spring more than 700 Cleveland teachers were laid off. About 300 of them were called back in the fall, only to be laid off, again, a week later. For many Ohio teachers, job insecurity comes with the territory. Ida Lieszkovszky, StateImpact Eye on Education, Sept. 6, 2011
Wisconsin Teacher Retirements Double After Cuts To Benefits And Collective Bargaining
Documents obtained by The Associated Press under the state's open records law show that about twice as many public school teachers decided to hang it up in the first half of this year as in each of the past two full years, part of a mass exit of public employees. Scott Bauer, Associated Press, Aug. 31, 2011
With Post-Its and Checklists, Schools Cut Their Energy Bills

How Bumping Adds to School Layoff Chaos
It's a phenomenon that echoes last-in-first-out layoffs for teachers. Yet bumping, a process that allows seasoned school workers to grab the jobs of the less experienced when their jobs are cut, happens to workers who don't teach, and tends to attract less attention. Emily Alpert, VoiceOfSanDiego.org, May 23, 2011
Will Work For Reading
The Salem-Keizer Budget Committee was tasked with shoring up a $55 million general fund shortfall. The move to cut elementary and middle school librarians, approved by the budget committee last week, would save the district $3.8 million or 6.1 percent of the total needed to be cut from the budget. At the beginning of the next school year, the libraries will be devoid of its protector. Jodi Kerr and Shawn Estes, Salem Week, May 17, 2011
The Disgraceful Interrogation of L.A. School Librarians
In a basement downtown, the librarians are being interrogated. The librarians are guilty of nothing except earning salaries the district feels the need to cut.

Back to School for the Billionaires
They hoped their cash could transform failing classrooms. They were wrong. Newsweek investigates what their money bought. Rita Beamish, Center for Public Inquiry, May 1, 2011
Public schools: Is California's middle class heading for the exits?
It's the hot topic outside the kindergarten room, at fundraising tables and after morning drop-off. Parents are asking: How much more can California lop off public education before they bolt for private schools? For public schools, 2011-12 could be a turning point. Sharon Noguchi, San Jose Mercury News, April 26, 2011
Charter Schools Suffer Leadership Shortages
Unlike traditional public schools, most charters don't have the resources of a school district — such as recruitment teams or pools of resumes — to find new leaders quickly. And turnover at the top level in charters is high. Sarah Butrymowicz, Washington Post, April 24, 2011
For AP Students, a New Classroom Is Online
Advanced-placement classes have been booming amid efforts by high-school students and parents to trim college tuition costs and gain an edge in the college-admissions race.The courses, however, can be expensive for schools to offer.

Singled-out L.A. Unified Teacher Shares Skills With Colleagues
Miguel Aguilar was cited as among L.A. Unified's most effective in an L.A. Times article on the 'value-added' evaluation method. Since then, many at his Pacoima school have adopted his methods. But budget cuts threaten his job. Jason Felch, Los Angeles Times, April 3, 2011
Study Says Charter Network Has Financial Advantages Over Public Schools
Most charter schools receive less government money for each student, on average, than traditional public schools. But the KIPP network, one of the fastest-growing and most academically successful charter groups, has received more taxpayer dollars per student than regular public schools, according to a new study, which also noted that KIPP receives substantial amounts of private philanthropic money. Sam Dillon, New York Times, March 31, 2011
When Standardized Test Scores Soared in D.C., Were the Gains Real?
A USA Today investigation found that for the past three school years most of Crosby S. Noyes Education Campus classrooms had extraordinarily high numbers of erasures on standardized tests. The consistent pattern was that wrong answers were erased and changed to right ones. Noyes is one of 103 public schools that have had erasure rates that surpassed D.C. averages at least once since 2008. That's more than half of D.C. schools. Jack Gillum and Marisol Bello, USA Today, March 28, 2011
Baltimore school buyout aims to reduce 'surplus' teachers
Baltimore City schools' recent offer of an early retirement package for its most experienced teachers is partly an attempt to cut the expense of having 100 more educators than positions this year, a trend that has cost the district $18 million since 2008. Erica L. Green, Baltimore Sun, March 4, 2011
States Slow to Tap 'Edujobs' Funding
As states and school districts approach a multi-billion-dollar funding cliff later this year when most of the money runs out under the federal economic-stimulus program, they are slowly tapping the separate $10 billion Education Jobs Fund to help them ride out a rocky recovery from a deep recession. Michele McNeil, Education Week, March 1, 2011
How Teacher Development Could Revolutionize Our Schools
As the nation's governors gather in Washington for their annual meeting, they are grappling with more than state budget deficits. They're confronting deep education deficits as well. Bill Gates, Washington Post, Feb. 28, 2011
Can We Improve Education By Increasing Class Size?
Bill Gates is right that a lower class size doesn't automatically guarantee that student achievement will take place, but the further gutting of public education, and the need for districts to save money, shouldn't drive long-term policy decisions about what's best for kids. Liz Dwyer, GOOD Magazine, March 1, 2011
Study Finds Funding Gap Between D.C. Specialty and Neighborhood Schools
The two public high schools, 2 1/2 miles apart in Northwest Washington, serve vastly different student populations. And they do it with vastly different levels of financial support, according to an analysis of school spending by a District advocacy group. Bill Turque, Washington Post, Feb. 6, 2011
Charter schools expand with public, private money
Nationwide, less than 4 percent of public school students are enrolled in charters, but that number is expected to rise significantly because of increased financial and political support. More than a dozen states loosened restrictions on charters over the past year for a chance to win a share of the federal $4.3 billion Race to the Top school reform competition. Associated Press, Jan. 21, 2011
Sweeping Study Weighs School Districts' 'Educational Productivity'
A report from a progressive think tank measuring the "educational productivity" of more than 9,000 school districts around the country shows that districts getting the most for their money tend to spend more on teachers and less on administration, partner with their communities to save money, and have school boards willing to make potentially unpopular decisions, like closing underenrolled schools. Christina A. Samuels, Education Week, Jan. 19, 2011
Without Aid, Detroit May Close Half of its Public Schools
Under Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb's plan, Detroit Public Schools would slim down from 142 schools now to 72 during 2012-13. Bobb is attempting to slash a $327 million deficit in the district to zero over the next several years. Jennifer Chambers, The Detroit News, Jan. 12, 2011
The big squeeze is on in California classes
Caught in a budget meltdown, the state is forcing schools to abandon one of the most popular education reforms -- smaller class sizes. The frustrations are already showing in San Jose Unified, which boosted class sizes by 50 percent for its youngest students last school year. With the state facing a yawning $28 billion budget gap, more districts are almost certain to follow. Sharon Noguchi, The San Jose Mercury News, Jan. 9, 2011
Educators Regroup in Recession's Aftermath
States and school districts have seen their tax bases wither over the past two years, and the financial picture looks bleak for years to come. At least 46 states, plus the District of Columbia, struggled to close budget shortfalls heading into fiscal 2011, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a research organization in Washington. Sean Cavanagh, Education Week, Jan. 5, 2010
Congress unlikely to extend hand to ailing states
States will continue to face substantial deficits over the next few years, but they will have to get by with the end of stimulus spending and less financial help from the federal government. In recent interviews, top GOP lawmakers made clear it will be much less. Judy Lin and John O'Connor, Associated Press, Jan. 6, 2011
With high hopes for test scores, school district invests in iPod touches and iPads

Nicole Dungca, The Oregonian, Jan. 1, 2011
Georgia Schools Offer Lesson In Living With Cutbacks
In Franklin County, Ga., the faltering economy has meant longer school days, a shorter calendar, fewer teachers. As the economy continues to falter, many governors are already warning of more budget cuts. The single biggest expense for most states is public school funding, and districts across the country have been making drastic cuts to staff and programs. Kathy Lohr, NPR, Dec. 29, 2010
Bob Edwards interviews Interim CEO of Chicago schools Terry Mazany

Poll: Education Backed, But Not New School Taxes
The public verdict is in and overwhelming: The better the education people get, the stronger the U.S. economy will be, a poll shows. But don't count on folks to support higher taxes to improve schools. Eric Gorski and Alan Fram, Associated Press, Dec. 9, 2010
Prosecutor Says Baltimore School Officials Stonewalled Investigation into Tutoring Fraud
Maryland State Prosecutor Robert A.

David Harrison, Stateline Staff Writer, Sept. 8, 2010
Many States Adopt National Standards for Their SchoolsLess than two months after the nation's governors and state school chiefs released their final recommendations for national education standards, 27 states have adopted them and about a dozen more are expected to do so in the next two weeks. Tamar Lewin, New York Times, July 21, 2010
Pension rules allow educators to double dip
A taxpayer-funded state pension system encourages career teachers and administrators to retire in their 50s, tap the fund and return to work. If the educators don't retire at that relatively young age after 30 years of service, they are likely to receive far less income in both their working careers and retirement. And much is at stake - for both educators and taxpayers. Dennis Willard, Ohio Newspapers, June 20, 2010
The Stimulus and Schools: Where Did the Money Go?New York is a city of tremendous disparities. There are schools where almost all of the students are poor enough to get free lunch. But there are others where hardly any students are eligible. Yet, an investigation by WNYC found the schools with the greatest needs got less stimulus money on aggregate than those with wealthier students. But schools with poor students actually had more resources to fall back upon during last year's budget cuts.Beth Fertig, WNYC, June 9, 2010

In Teacher Layoffs, Seniority Rules. But Should It?School districts around the country are planning massive layoffs as they struggle to bridge big budget deficits. And as they select which teachers go and which ones stay, many can only use one factor as their guide: seniority. Many districts will have to cast out effective teachers, because local contracts and even state laws require it. Larry Abramson, National Public Radio, June 3, 2010

Push to Spur Innovation Raises Hope - and EyebrowsThe decision by a dozen major education grantmakers to team up on an initiative designed to dovetail with the federal Investing in Innovation grant competition is being seen by supporters as a chance to maximize the power of public and private resources to help transform K-12 education. But it's also renewing concerns that the Obama administration and the philanthropic sector are becoming too intertwined—in ways that could crowd out support for worthy reform ideas not favored by the federal government. Erik W. Robelen and Michele McNeil, Education Week, May 7, 2010
Poorer TN schools will get most Race to the Top aidTennessee schools are set to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in federal aid through the Race to the Top program, but districts can expect to get vastly different amounts from the effort to raise the state's education standards.How much each district gets will be tied to poverty measures, meaning that urban and poor rural districts will get many times more money per pupil from the program than their suburban counterparts. Chas Sisk, The Tennessean, April 15, 2010

I installed a similar mixture SuSE 11.1 with KDE 4.3 (no longer visible link on SuSE's site?!) and I found it extremely stable and user friendly, thus installed replacing my previous installation of SuSE 10.2 with KDE 3.10. Firefox? Yes, indeed, it has issues of its own. I have completely moved to Seamonkey instead. Simpler, faster and is doing what you expecting it to do. I think Firefox is taking the wrong path. -
KDE4.x still not ready for production use
Although the desktop is fairly stable, the applications aren't as stable as I would like. KDE 4.x applications crash when you wouldn't expect it, they freeze even when in previous instances they work perfectly. It seems to me there is more than if you look it at first sight. I have worked with KDE4.3 since it came out with KUBUNTU. Several updates later, I still cannot say I am satified. I liked the stability and the features of 3.5.1.
A lot of applications I miss in KDE 4.3, firefox still hides it messages behind the windows of other programs even when it is on the foreground. You get some messages then ' firefox cannot start because it is already active' which means : somewhere on your desktop is a window message of a previous instance of firefox that is still open with a question that you didn't answer.
Answering this questions solve the startup problem. Simple if you know, impossible if you do not know where to find the window. And that is the easiest problem.
Finding your way in the 'start/menu' button for your application is terrible. It is too much windows alike.
I like the 3D desktop, maybe we should select the applications the same way, instead of shifting windows?
Conclusion is those things will even take 2 or more updates before all applications know how to handle KDE4.3 properly. The change from 3.x to 4.x is too big. Or is it also the change in X-windows that caused this ?
So my advise is to wait until the developers are ready.

Dietary supplements not without risks
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.

Do you take dietary supplements? Thinking about it? Considering one that says "all natural" because you want to avoid prescription drugs or anything synthetic?
Before you try any dietary supplements, take a close look at the bottle and the science behind the claims. Then proceed with caution. Here's why:
- Just because you can purchase a supplement, that doesn't mean it's safe. Dietary supplements don't undergo the same scrutiny that's required of prescription medications.
- Dietary supplements, including herbal supplements, aren't benign. Whether they're in the form of pills, drinks, powders or foods, supplements can have strong effects in the body. Supplements can also interact with prescription medicines, leading to potentially dangerous reactions.
- "All natural" on the bottle is no guarantee that a supplement is in fact all natural. In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration has discovered chemicals, prescription drugs and steroids in some supplements.
- Few supplements have rigorous science to support their claims. In all fairness, it's possible the science just isn't there yet. Whatever the reason, you're in uncharted waters when it comes to most supplements.
If you're currently taking or considering taking dietary supplements, keep a few key points in mind:
- Be skeptical. If a claim seems too good to be true, it probably is. When in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Talk to your doctor. Tell your doctor if you're taking a supplement and if you experience any problems with it.
- Look at the big picture. Some groups may be more at risk for adverse effects with supplements. These include teenagers, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, people who take multiple medications and those planning to undergo surgery.
- Look at your lifestyle. Why are you considering taking a supplement? Could you achieve the same results by getting more sleep, starting to exercise or eating a healthy diet?
What have been your experiences with supplements? Positive? Negative? If you had an adverse reaction, was it mild or severe?
- Katherine

text: Home Culture 'BET Honors' 2012: Who Stole the Show? Hollywood played second fiddle to Michelle Obama, Maya Angelou and the Tuskegee Airmen. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: Jan. 15 2012 12:59 PM 0 There are black celebrities, and then there are black history makers. At the BET Honors, held Saturday, Jan. 14, at Washington, D.C.'s Warner Theatre, it was the latter group that stole the show. The red-carpet event delivered, as expected, appearances and performances by high-profile award show regulars: Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Rowland, Stevie Wonder and even Patti LaBelle took to the stage. But striking a tone appropriate for the celebratory but reflective mood of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, those who made substantive contributions to the black experience outside of Hollywood -- Michelle Obama, Maya Angelou and surviving members of the Tuskegee Airmen -- were the evening's most celebrated guests. When it came to the first lady, the poet and the black trailblazers, the celebrities themselves were starstruck. Obama was technically a presenter, but really a main attraction and honored guest. "We're very excited," BET President Debra Lee told The Root. "I invited her several times over the past year. She'd heard what a great event it was, and Dr. Sharon Malone, [Attorney General] Eric Holder's wife, told her what a great event it was ... So when I saw her at the White House for the Kennedy Center Honors, I said, 'You know, you have to come to BET Honors,' and she said, 'Oh, I want to, I want to.' " Seasoned host Gabrielle Union, emceeing the event for the fifth consecutive year, joked that the first lady's presence made her slightly nervous. "I'm excited that she's here. I do feel a little pressure to tell more appropriate jokes, but we'll see how that goes," she told us preshow. Willow Smith, Cicely Tyson, Queen Latifah and Jill Scott welcomed Obama with a recitation of Angelou's "Phenomenal Woman." She received an extended standing ovation punctuated by audience shouts of "We love you, first lady!" when she took to the stage in a floor-length, one-shouldered crimson gown. She was tasked with presenting the Literary Arts award to another audience favorite, Angelou. In highly personal remarks, she called the poet and author "my friend," "one of my heroes" and "an iconic, otherworldly figure." To honor Angelou, she said, "We must help others discover the greatness in themselves," adding, "she reminds us that we belong here ... that each of us has a place in this world." Accepting her honor, the literary legend presented a poem. Surviving Tuskegee Airmen Charles E. McGee and Roscoe Brown are, of course, the subjects of the soon-to-be-released film Red Tails. But it was a narrated video account of their real-life experience that inspired a standing ovation that lasted throughout their joint acceptance speech. Colin Powell told The Root, "They are real heroes because of what they did so many years ago. They made the path for me to follow." McGee said he hoped the film would teach a lesson about overcoming adversity. And on the topic of the funding challenges associated with a film with an all-African-American cast, he said, "I would hope that we don't have to say black, white or whatever. It's an American story." Big musical names in the building included Stevie Wonder, who was honored for Musical Arts (celebrities including Ledisi and Kelly Rowland told The Root they were honored to be in his presence), and Mariah Carey, who took home the Entertainment award (Patti Labelle sang "Hero" in tribute to her; husband Nick Cannon, better after a recent bout with kidney failure, presented it with baby Moroccan in tow). Track-and-field coach Beverly Kearney was recognized with an award in the Education category for her perseverance in leadership. She coached the University of Texas at Austin track-and-field team to record-breaking victories after suffering a paralyzing car accident. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

New Delhi: To strengthen its extra-territorial jurisdiction, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) is entering into cooperation agreements with its counterparts in other nations.
Extra-territorial jurisdiction relates to acts that take place outside the country but have an effect on competition in India.
India's competition watchdog is close to signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the US Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Competition, said a CCI official with direct knowledge of the development.
A draft MoU was prepared in November and is awaiting the foreign ministry's approval.
The regulator signed a similar pact with Russia's Federal Anti-Monopoly Service in December, another official said.
An email sent to the international cooperation division of the Russian agency on Tuesday remained unanswered.
"These pacts are crucial in order to bolster CCI's extra-territorial jurisdiction, and come in handy when cases involving multinational companies are brought before us," the CCI official said, requesting anonymity.
Such jurisdiction is governed by Article 32 of the Competition Act, 2002. The Act, last amended in 2007, governs the functioning of CCI. All international pacts are facilitated by the foreign ministry.
Under Article 32 of the Act, CCI can inquire into any matter where there is an allegation of abuse of dominant position by a company or entity even if the agreement was entered outside India or either party is based outside India, as long as the case has a bearing on competition in India.
CCI is in advanced talks with China's Anti-Monopoly Bureau and has had discussions with the Competition Commission of South Africa, Indonesia's Commission for Supervision of Business Competition, the Japan Fair Trade Commission, the Office of Fair Trading of the UK, and Brazil's Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica, the CCI officials said.
Moreover, under the proposed free trade agreement between India and the European Union (EU), there is an entire chapter on competition law which will serve as a de facto agreement with the director general for competition of the European Commission, the umbrella competition watchdog of the EU.
Anand Pathak, a New Delhi-based competition lawyer said internationally, the most comprehensive of such agreements are those signed between the US and the EU. "There have been several cases in which the US and the EU have together gone after multinational companies. In fact, soon after one party initiates proceedings, the other follows suit," he said. Pathak, however, said such pacts would help only if they are comprehensive and do not remain mere MoUs.
The international agreements come even as CCI is fighting a turf battle at home.
The telecom ministry and the financial services department are asking for their respective sectors to be kept outside CCI's purview, whereas the corporate affairs ministry is finalizing a cabinet note that seeks to bring all sectors of the economy under the regulator's watch.
Corporate affairs minister M. Veerappa Moily, though, said on 12 June that the competition watchdog will not infringe on the turfs of other sectors.

What international company wants its employees to accept a 30% pay cut? It's Denver SuperShuttle, and that was the last offer made by the company in contract negotiations with its van drivers, members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA). The drivers overwhelming rejected the steep pay cuts, which were so low the workers could have been eligible for food stamps, Medicaid and other public assistance. In other words, SuperShuttle wanted to let the taxpayers subsidize even bigger profits for the company, all because workers voted to have a union.
In the current budget negotiations, federal government workers are once again being targeted as a way for extreme Republicans to try to "solve" a budget deficit "crisis" that isn't a crisis. Government employees didn't cause the budget deficit and they've given more than just about anyone in previous attempts to reduce the deficit, with three years of pay freezes, a lost week of pay during the government shutdown and increased pension payments for new employees. Now the congressional Budget Conference Committee is considering increasing pension payments for all government employees. In response, the AFGE says, "Enough is enough!"
In another major step forward for the global movement to expand domestic workers' rights, Argentina last month ratified International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention No. 189 on domestic work, which extends fundamental labor rights to an estimated 53 million domestic workers worldwide.
Only 12% of the workforce has paid family leave. While the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)—the nation's only federal law designed to help working people meet the dual demands of job and family—has kept millions of people from losing their jobs when serious medical needs arise, it doesn't cover 40% of people on the job. In addition, the FMLA only guarantees unpaid leave, which is unaffordable for many working women and families.
In September, the majority of workers at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., signed cards authorizing their affiliation with the UAW and the creation of a German-style "works council" at the plant. Daniel Cornfield, a professor of sociology and political science at Vanderbilt University, says those speaking out against the workers and the UAW need to take a look at positive economic impact unionized workers and the companies they work at have on Tennessee.
A new editorial from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch highlights the recent revelations about the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and its influence on state legislators. In particular, the editorial takes umbrage at a proposed loyalty oath for ALEC members that would have required them to place the extremist pro-corporate organization above the needs of constituents and the state and national constitutions.
Unionized women workers continue to have "a substantial boost in pay and benefits" compared to their nonunion counterparts, according to a new issue brief.
Here are some stories we're reading at the AFL-CIO today we'd like to share with you.
What are you reading? Leave a tip in the comments section.
In more than 60 cities across the country today, teachers, parents, allies and education supporters are rallying to save public education from a series of radical "reforms" pushed by corporations and politically motivated organizations that would do significant damage to our schools and limit the future of our students. The Reclaim the Promise of Public Education coalition was formed to fight for public education as our nation's gateway to democracy and racial and economic justice. As part of the day of action, the AFT is running radio, print and online ads to spread the coalition's message.

Of COURSE it had NOTHING to do with the House ´No Budget, No Pay´ statement! Just pure coincidence that they SAY they will move a budget for the first time in over 4 years, what, 1 WEEK after the House threatens to withold their pay(off)?HAW! HAW! HAW!Maybe you can fool the ´LoFo´ Obama crowd with that one, but even this ol´ Southern country boy is just a bit smarter than that!HAW! HAW! HAW!
The Senate has degenerated into a den of fools and thieves! How can this idiot Senator say that this had nothing to do with the threat of withholding their pay? Wow!
Time for a bill that says:"Give up all your commie foolishness or no pay".Why didn´t we think of this before ???
FTA: "Senate Democrats plan to move on a budget resolution regardless of whether the House rolls this issue into their short-term bill to increase the debt limit," Murray said.OK, we believe you, patty. /sar But just to make certain that the budget resolution doesn´t stall in committee, the "no budget, no pay" bill is coming at you. A threat to the personal pocketbooks of democrats is clearly the most effective way to motivate them. The GOP must repeat this practice. It´s a winner.
I pay absolutely no attention to anything Patty Murray has to say.
Good news. But for now it is just words from a politician.A proposed budget can say anything; it can say $500t to melt the ice in Antarctica.But, by definition, we can´t get a good budget until the Congress passes one. So this is a step.
When I didn´t work I didn´t get paid and I didn´t collect later when I did go to work.These guys will collect when they do actually do some work. I don´t think they should collect what was withheld. I think they should lose it entirely.
