Wage and Hour Laws
We have observed for some time now that the spate of wage-hour lawsuits might be expected drastically to curtail the availability of internships of both the unpaid and paid varieties.
Employment Law 360 reports that publisher Condé Nast has become the first of what will probably be many to decide that it will no longer make internships available. As we noted in June, the publisher has been sued by former interns. According to Employment Law 360, "A Condé Nast spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday that it would be ending its internship program but declined to shed any light on the rationale behind the company's decision."
The article noted our reaction that we "do fully expect there to be far fewer internships as a result of all these claims and all this litigation." We expressed the view that "a lot of these entities are going to be disinclined to run the risk of claims arising out of these internships, whether they are paid or unpaid." As for the U.S. Labor Department's Fact Sheet #71 dealing with internships under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, our observation was that "[t]hese so-called guidelines are not exactly a model of clarity. Completely well-intentioned entities who might otherwise offer internships are going to say, 'Never mind.'"
We suspect that, for every high-profile announcement of this kind, there will be far more unreported decisions to the same effect.

Employee Status | Employer Status | Interns
The unpaid-interns ruckus continues to unfold, this time in a way that entangles President Obama.
As we observed in March 2012, an unpaid White House intern might conclude that he or she is "engaged in the operations of the employer or . . . performing productive work," activities which U.S. Labor Department Fact Sheet #71 says would be viewed as federal Fair Labor Standards Act employment where a business is concerned. Although a federal law says that the rights and protections of the FLSA apply to "covered employees" in presidential offices, the drafters expressly excluded interns.
But now a movement referring to itself as the "FairPay Campaign" has launched a petition "call[ing] on the White House to pay the interns it employs an hourly wage." The group's approach appears to be to cajole and shame President Obama into doing so, including by asserting that not paying the interns would be hypocritical in light of his call for an increase in the FLSA's minimum-wage rate. A CNNMoney report suggests that spotlighting the White House is part of a soon-to-be-undertaken broader effort aimed at, as the group's website puts it, "fighting to end Unpaid Internships."
This heightened publicity takes place against the backdrop of a continued onslaught of lawsuits under the FLSA and/or state laws brought by unpaid or allegedly underpaid interns. We have reported on some of them already (most recently here), but in just the last couple of months others have been filed against Bad Boy Entertainment, Columbia Recordings Corp. (along with Sony Corporation and Sony Music Holdings), and NBC Universal. This escalation is probably attributable in no small part to trolling by attorneys who are developing a specialty in such matters.
We are even more inclined to suspect that, by next spring, informed employers will be thinking long and hard about whether to offer any internships, whether unpaid or paid. Paging through comments entered by some FairPay petition signers will make for interesting reading in this connection.
One may reasonably question whether efforts by FairPay and others will eventually have amounted to "fighting to end" many or even most internships of every kind.
Employee Status | Employer Status | Interns | Litigation
We have repeatedly cautioned that employers who are prepared to take on unpaid interns should enter into these arrangements with their eyes fully open. New developments emphasize this yet again.
The Fox Searchlight Litigation
We reported in March 2012 that Fox Searchlight Pictures had been sued under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and New York law by unpaid interns who were claiming to be due wages and other sums. The court has now ruled (link to decision below) that at least two of these individuals were indeed "employees" for purposes of the FLSA and state law.
The judge concluded among other things that these interns:
♦ Received nothing approximating the education they would receive in an academic setting or in a vocational school;
♦ Received no benefits from the relationship other than those that were "incidental to working in the office like any other employee and were not the result of internships intentionally structured to benefit them"; and
♦ Performed "essential" unpaid work that would otherwise have been done by paid employees.
Furthermore, the court was not swayed by the facts that:
♦ The interns were not, and did not think themselves to be, entitled to a job at the conclusion of their internships; and
♦ The interns understood that they would not be paid for their activities.
It is noteworthy that the judge reached his decision in granting the interns' summary-judgment motion. Essentially, he was saying that the answer is so clear as to leave no need for a jury trial.
And Yet Another High-Profile Lawsuit
Moreover, a former unpaid intern has now filed a federal-court lawsuit (link to copy below) against prominent fashion designer Norma Kamali and her companies. The former intern alleges violations of both the FLSA and New York law.
One of the assertions is that her circumstances were "part of a broader trend where formerly entry level employees are being misclassified as unpaid 'interns' or 'apprentices' in an effort by employers to avoid paying [the required] wages . . .." The intern asks for an unspecified award of minimum wages, overtime compensation, and other sums.
* * *
It has been clear for some time now that a new "hot issue" in wage-hour law is the employment status of unpaid interns. The Fox Searchlight ruling is likely to spur even more claims of this kind.
One must wonder how much longer those who have been willing to provide unpaid internships will continue to do so in this environment. We suspect that educational institutions, students, and others seeking these opportunities will find few of them available by next summer, if not before then.

UPDATED 06 20 13: And the beat goes on . . .. Unpaid or allegedly underpaid interns have now sued Warner Music and the publisher of Condé Nast magazine (links to copies of complaints below). The assertions are typical by now. For example, the Condé Nast complaint claims that the publisher "relies upon a steady stream of interns to perform entry-level work that contributes to its magazines' operations and reduces its labor costs."
Henry v. Warner Music.pdf (70.27 kb)
Ballinger v. Advance Magazine Publishers.pdf (767.31 kb)
UPDATED 06 25 13: Yet another lawsuit has been filed (link to copy of complaint below), this time against Gawker Media, which describes itself as a web publisher known for the "inimitable delivery of news, scandal, and entertainment . . .." Also named as an individual defendant is Gawker's founder, Nick Denton. The plaintiffs attack what they allege to have been "Gawker's policies and practices of refusing to pay wages to its workers by designating them as 'interns,' even though they are performing vital work that inures to the benefit of Gawker's various business enterprises." They claim that Gawker "employs numerous other 'interns' in the same way, paying them nothing or underpaying them and utilizing their services to publish its content on the internet, an enterprise that generates significant amounts of revenue for Gawker."
The continuing, widespread publicity about these kinds of lawsuits will probably spur others, particularly after the current internship season comes to a close. There has been some commentary to the effect that only those who "exploit" interns need be concerned. But this is an area in which the parameters of what will be found to have been lawful versus what will be found to have been unlawful are far from clear or explicit. It is entirely possible, and perhaps even likely, that a number of thoroughly-well-intended internship providers will find themselves embroiled in litigation about the difference between "exploitation" and a valuable educational experience.
Mark v. Gawker Media LLC.pdf (177.03 kb)
We have warned for some time now that businesses and other organizations should think carefully if they are considering the possibility of permitting unpaid internships. What might be described as the internship "season" is fast-approaching, so the time to consider whether and under what circumstances to get involved in these relationships is now.
The Current Landscape
The latest big-splash lawsuit surfaced last week. A former unpaid intern filed a collective-action/class-action complaint for "at least $50 million" against Elite Model Management Corporation under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and similar New York state laws.
This comes in the wake of an agreement by Charlie Rose and his show's production company to pay around $250,000 to settle an internship-related lawsuit brought last March. A developing cottage-industry among lawyers is now on the lookout for opportunities to assert claims on behalf of unpaid interns, "even if [the intern] received school credit for the internship . . .."
Those who are in a position to provide unpaid internships should also recall the thinking exemplified in last year's advice given by "The Ethicist" at the New York Times in response to a reader who asked, "Is there anything I can demand of this company in exchange for my slave labor?" This "ethicist" saw it as being laudable to "take the internship and then call the Labor Department — something you or your colleagues can do confidentially."
And indeed there are signs that educational institutions, vocational-training organizations, and similar entities are finding it harder to place their enrollees in unpaid internships. This is hardly surprising, because word is spreading that making these opportunities available entails vulnerability to wage-hour claims.
It Is Wise To Be Cautious
There is neither a simple checklist nor any concise, all-encompassing legal test for reliably knowing whether a particular unpaid internship is consistent with the FLSA. Nevertheless, prudence suggests keeping in mind our prior observations. Whether an unpaid internship would occur under the auspices of an educational institution or otherwise, ask yourself this: If there is a later FLSA claim, will the circumstances clearly, provably, and readily show (i) that the relationship was for the purpose of providing education, instruction, and training that imparted significant, substantive, transferrable knowledge of a broadly-applicable kind; and (ii) that what actually occurred was consistent with and carried out this purpose?
If the intern's activities establish instead that the idea and/or the outcome was to have the person perform work, then the risks of FLSA liability are likely to be substantial. For example, if management's motivation is along the lines of, "We could sure use a summer intern," this does not bode well for successfully defending against an unpaid intern's later FLSA claim.
UPDATE 05/08/13: The lawsuit parade continues. A former photography intern for the "Pittsburgh Power" Arena Football League team has now sued the team and two owners, claiming that he was not paid for his internship activities (link to complaint below). He is alleging among other things that there was "a corporate policy or practice of minimizing labor costs by knowingly misclassifying certain employees as unpaid interns in order to deny them compensation in violation of the FLSA and the [Pennsylvania] Minimum Wage Act." He is also raising his claims as collective-action and class-action ones on behalf of, he contends, "more than 60" interns.
Boyle v. Swann, Inc.pdf (198.28 kb)
As we reported earlier, a former Harper's Bazaar unpaid intern is pursuing a lawsuit against publisher The Hearst Corporation in which she claims (among other things) to have been an "employee" under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act who was not compensated in compliance with that law.
A New York federal judge has now conditionally approved the case as a "collective action". This means that the lawsuit will proceed as the FLSA's version of a class action, including that court-authorized notice of the complaint will be sent to potential class members to let them know that they may join the lawsuit if they choose to do so.
The court ruled that Xuedan Wang had presented enough evidence to justify allowing the case to move forward on this basis for the time being. Among the allegations of which the court took note are that Hearst decided that all interns working at 19 magazines were non-employees but used them to complete tasks necessary to its operations, such as answering telephones, making deliveries, and organizing clothing and accessories. Wang also asserts that Hearst required interns to submit "credit letters" from colleges, some of which, she says, required the intern to make a payment to his or her college in order to receive the credit. She contends that she and other interns were essentially entry-level employees who performed commensurate work with little supervision.
Of course, these are simply Wang's claims. And after further factual development, Hearst can try to convince the court that treating the case as a collective action is not warranted after all. Nevertheless, this litigation bears watching, because it might well serve as a template for similar FLSA lawsuits across the nation.
A few readers were surprised by our April 3 post's caution that, in some scenarios, a volunteer performing work for a federal Fair Labor Standards Act-covered non-profit organization might be an "employee" subject to that law's compensation requirements.
One observed that many non-profits are staffed in whole or in part by volunteers and described a longstanding sector-wide impression that non-profits may use volunteers for work with what the commenter described as "near-complete liberty."
FLSA principles do not as a general proposition prevent non-profits from using non-employee volunteers under the right circumstances. But, whatever the conventional wisdom or prevailing practice might be, one should not simply assume that non-profits may do so with near-complete liberty.
As the U.S. Labor Department says, "There is no special provision in the FLSA which precludes an employer-employee relationship between a religious, charitable or nonprofit organization and persons who perform work for such an organization." Section 10b03(a), Field Operations Handbook (U.S. Labor Department, October 10, 1993).
There are far too many different factual settings in which the FLSA's principles might be in play to articulate a one-size-fits-all rule about non-profit volunteerism. Our point is that at least some such situations might well involve FLSA-covered employment, so it is wise to keep this possibility in mind.
And remember that, until relatively recent times, the conventional wisdom also was that unpaid internships presented no potential FLSA problems.
Employee Status | Employer Status | Interns | Volunteers
A reader of our March 14 post relating to unpaid internships at non-profit organizations asks whether non-profits can avoid the intern debate by offering "volunteer" opportunities to engage in charitable or public-service activities. But this simply changes the nature of the potential problem.
"Volunteer" Activities Can Be FLSA Employment
Considering someone to be a "volunteer" does not necessarily mean that he or she is a non-employee for federal Fair Labor Standards Act purposes. This is true even if (i) the person is not otherwise employed by the organization; (ii) the individual's activities are said to be of a charitable or public-service nature, and (ii) the activities are carried out for or on behalf of a non-profit organization.
There is some overlap between the considerations relevant to who is and is not a true "intern" or "volunteer" so as not be an FLSA employee, but the two concepts are fundamentally different. A principal distinction is that the underlying motivation for being a volunteer is not the same. Perhaps one of the most important characteristics of volunteerism is whether the individual undertakes the activity for his or her own, personal civic, humanitarian, charitable, religious, or public-service reasons.
Some of the other factors include whether the activities are of a kind typically associated with volunteer work; are less than a full-time occupation for the individual; do not involve replacing regular employees or impairing employment opportunities; are subject only to "nominal" or "minimal" control by the recipient of the person's efforts; and tend to occur at times suiting the individual's own convenience, whether by schedule or otherwise.
Some Volunteers Fall Within Specific Exceptions
The FLSA itself excludes individuals who volunteer to perform services under certain circumstances for a state, a political subdivision of a state, or an interstate governmental agency. 29 U.S.C. § 203(e)(4). These exceptions explain why, in the proper situations, volunteers at public schools and in some other settings are not viewed as being engaged in FLSA employment.
The FLSA also contains a special exception for individuals who volunteer their services to private, non-profit food banks and who receive groceries from the food banks. But even this provision applies only if the person does so "solely for humanitarian purposes."
The point is that, just because a neighbor is a non-employee volunteer at the county's middle school, for example, one should not assume that "volunteers" of all sorts are seen in the same light.
Think Things Through Carefully
It is wise to be cautious in evaluating even non-profit "volunteer" relationships under the FLSA. One illustration of the possible uncertainty is that the U.S. Labor Department's Office of Enforcement Policy has said that volunteers who staffed a non-profit hospital's gift shops were instead performing compensable work for FLSA purposes (see link to reproduction below).
Note too USDOL's position that individuals may not "volunteer" to do things for their employer which are the same as or are similar or related to their normal work duties. Instead, it says, this is compensable FLSA worktime. USDOL might also take the same view regarding time an employee spends even in arguably dissimilar services of a public or charitable nature, if this occurs at the employer's request, under its direction or control, or during the employee's normal working hours. See, e.g., 29 C.F.R. § 785.44. "Volunteering" by an organization's employees is beyond the scope of this post, but it is a "go slow" matter where the FLSA is concerned. Compare Opinion Letter of Acting Wage-Hour Administrator FLSA2006-18 (June 1, 2006)(volunteering to chaperone cultural and sporting field trips provided under employer's auspices) with Opinion Letter of Acting Wage-Hour Administrator FLSA2001-18 (July 31, 2001)(status of certain activities engaged in by nurses employed at non-profit hospital).
USDOL OEP Hospital Opinion 06 28 96.pdf (22.02 kb)
Our earlier post prompted questions about whether federal Fair Labor Standards Act principles are different for unpaid internships at non-profit organizations or for those sponsored by educational institutions for which the intern receives academic credit. The short answer is: No, they are not.
USDOL Statements Sound Encouraging
It is of course true that Deputy Wage and Hour Administrator Nancy Leppink's ominous quote referred to "for-profit" entities, and this is the sector upon which Fact Sheet # 71 focuses. Furthermore, a Fact Sheet footnote says that unpaid internships are "generally permissible" for a non-profit charitable organization in the right circumstances. The publication further implies that the relationship is more likely not to be viewed as FLSA employment if it is "structured around a classroom or academic experience . . . ," such as "where a college or university exercises oversight over the internship program and provides educational credit . . .."
Perhaps this reflects a Labor Department preference for encouraging what it believes to be the inherently-nobler pursuits of charities or educational institutions. There might even be a degree of Executive Branch self-interest involved. For example, full-time, unpaid White House interns are expected to:
◊ Perform tasks such as "conducting research, managing incoming inquiries, attending meetings, writing memos, and staffing events"; and
◊ Engage in their activities at least 4½ days a week, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.
This looks a lot like being "engaged in the operations of the employer or . . . performing productive work," activities which the Fact Sheet says would be viewed as FLSA employment where a "business" is concerned. But this does not mean that everyone else gets to do the same thing.
Don't Be Lulled To Sleep
Non-profit organizations permitting internships, and entities considering participating in student internships, should not simply assume clear-sailing where the risk of FLSA claims is concerned.
For one thing, it is unlikely that USDOL sees such unpaid internships as being "generally permissible" in each situation, or for non-profits of every kind, or for all school-sponsored arrangements. Even USDOL does not consider the Fact Sheet to be an authoritative or binding official position. Moreover, the Fact Sheet itself says that USDOL "is reviewing the need for additional guidance" on internships in the non-profit sector. So notwithstanding the Fact Sheet's statement about what is "generally" the case, do not doubt that USDOL will assert FLSA liability for a particular unpaid internship, even one undertaken with a non-profit or in conjunction with a school, when it deems this to be warranted.
And even were it otherwise, USDOL is not the only potential source of a challenge. Interns are perfectly free to assert their own FLSA claims in court should they decide to do so, without regard to what USDOL thinks or does.
The Bottom Line
Whether an unpaid internship occurs under the auspices of an educational institution, in a non-profit organization, or at a for-profit business, in the end the FLSA question still gets down to some version of this: Do the circumstances clearly show that the relationship is for the purpose of generalized learning, education, and training that imparts to the participant significant knowledge of a broadly-applicable kind, or do they instead indicate that the idea is to have the person perform work? In other words, if the motivation is something like, "We could sure use help from an intern this summer," that is a danger sign – whether the setting is for-profit, not-for-profit, school-related, or any other.
Compliance | Employee Status | Employer Status | Government Enforcement | Interns
For awhile now, unpaid internships have been a hot topic under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. We noted some time ago that the U.S. Labor Department was taking a skeptical view of these relationships.
In conjunction with the April 2010 release of Fact Sheet # 71, the U.S. Wage and Hour Division's Deputy Administrator Nancy Leppink announced what appears as a practical matter to be a rebuttable presumption that many such internships violate the FLSA: "If you're a for-profit employer or you want to pursue an internship with a for-profit employer, there aren't going to be many circumstances where you can have an internship and not be paid and still be in compliance with the law."
Since that time, lawsuits against The Hearst Corporation and Fox Searchlight Pictures (links to copies below) and others show that the prospects for FLSA claims by current or former unpaid interns are by no means merely hypothetical.
Reports suggest that, with summer approaching, and in the context of continued high unemployment, more people than ever are beseeching organizations of various kinds to take them on as unpaid interns. But in the current wage-hour environment, it should surprise no one that, as USA Today recently reported, many organizations are doing away with these internships altogether. Perhaps this represents an unfortunate reduction in learning opportunities, but it is also an entirely foreseeable reaction by those who are in a position to permit them.
The answer to the question, "Are unpaid internships worth the risk?" is that only the organization being asked to provide one can decide this in the context of its own circumstances, capabilities, and philosophy. In thinking about it, management will want to take into account the mindset exemplified by a recent endorsement by "The Ethicist" at the New York Times of the suggestion that an inquirer should both "take the internship and then call the Labor Department . . .."
If management concludes that is willing to allow unpaid internships, then it should plan, structure, and supervise them very carefully, bearing in mind the ambiguous criteria that will be applied should an intern later decide to claim that he or she should have been treated as a paid employee under the FLSA. Remember also that, if an intern under the age of 18 is later deemed to have been an employee for FLSA purposes, there is also the potential for the assertion of child-labor violations and substantial penalties in addition to liability for back-pay and other sums.
UPDATE 03 15 12: Another high-profile lawsuit has been filed by a person claiming to have been an unpaid intern. This one is brought by an "Editorial Intern" against PBS talk-show host Charlie Rose and Charlie Rose, Inc. under New York wage-hour law (link to copy below). The named plaintiff also seeks to assert claims on behalf of a class of such interns.

Employee Status | Employer Status | Government Enforcement | Interns
A spate of recent developments signals potential trouble for organizations allowing unpaid internships, particularly profit-seeking entities. The kickoff was an April 2, 2010 New York Times piece, the tenor of which was that many such internships amount to illegal unpaid employment. The article quoted the U.S. Wage and Hour Division's Deputy Administrator Nancy J. Leppink as saying, "If you're a for-profit employer or you want to pursue an internship with a for-profit employer, there aren't going to be many circumstances where you can have an internship and not be paid and still be in compliance with the law."
This was followed by the April 5 release of a similarly-toned report from the labor-side Economic Policy Institute. And, on April 7, California's Division of Labor Standards Enforcement issued a letter opinion outlining its views about under what circumstances these relationships are permitted by that state's laws.
Then last week, the U.S. Wage and Hour Division released its Fact Sheet # 71 in which it listed six criteria that it said "must" be applied, "all" of which must be met, in order for an unpaid internship not to violate the federal Fair Labor Standards Act where for-profit, private-sector organizations are concerned. These factors, which have not been the subject of notice-and-comment rulemaking, are (with some editing):
• The internship is similar to training given in an educational environment, even if it includes actual operation of the employer's facilities,
• The internship is for the intern's benefit;
• The intern does not displace regular employees but instead works under the existing staff's close supervision;
• The employer derives no immediate advantage from the intern's activities, and its operations might occasionally actually be impeded;
• The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the internship's end;and
• The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.
Whether public-sector and non-profit internships will be viewed with skepticism similar to that running through this document remains to be seen (although the Fact Sheet implies that they might not be). The Wage and Hour Division says that it is "reviewing the need for additional guidance" in these areas. Even those sectors should therefore proceed with caution.
Maybe all of this is remarkable happenstance. Or maybe instead it reveals a focused coordination of efforts aimed at coming enforcement initiatives. Either way, any for-profit organization that is still willing to take on unpaid internships should structure and handle them so as to maximize the chances that they will be found not to create employment relationships for wage-hour purposes.
UPDATE 05/25/10: Fisher & Phillips Partner Joel W. Rice has published observations and recommendations relating to internships in Workforce Management Online.

Madrid, July 13
Spanish unions have announced a national day of protest as workers rain down criticism on a new 65-billion-euro ($80-billion) austerity package.
Obliged by Brussels to order new cuts and tax increases to meet newly relaxed deficit-cutting commitments, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy revealed the latest blow to Spaniards on Wednesday.
Adding to the pain of recession and a 24.4-percent jobless rate, he announced a string of measures including a rise in VAT sales tax, lower jobless benefits, and reduced income for government workers.
The two biggest unions -- the UGT and CCOO -- reacted immediately, calling for a day of protests across Spain on July 19, saying the new steps hit people on low and average earnings hardest.
"Not one of the approved measures implies any effort by businesses and those on highest incomes," it said in a statement.
On Wednesday evening, protesters already called for "justice" in the streets of Madrid, brandishing signs reading: "They are sinking the country."
The austerity package, in particular the value-added tax rise, is expected to brake consumption and deepen the recession.
The government has forecast a 1.7-percent economic contraction this year. Further shrinkage in activity is expected in 2013, albeit a decline that is "closer to zero", according to Rajoy.
The 57-year leader of the ruling conservative Popular Party assured parliament that the new steps were necessary, but Spaniards worried about the outlook.
"Is this going to be of any use?" asked an editorial in business daily Expansion.
"Of all these measures, none of these measures will create any jobs, in fact they will deepen the plunge in gross domestic product."
Edward Hugh, an economist based in Barcelona, said the package would not go down well with Spaniards.
"I think the majority of the Spanish people, rather than the banks and the government, are not going to understand the whole deal and they are not going to be very happy with this," he said.
From the tourism industry to fisheries, car show rooms and consumer associations, there were deep worries about the VAT increase.
In the latest measures, the general rate of VAT goes up to 21 percent from 18 percent, and the reduced rate on some products such as food goes up to 10 percent from eight percent. A special four-percent rate on basic needs such as bread is untouched.
Tourism, accounting for about 10 percent of Spanish economic activity, would be among the hardest hit by the new, higher VAT rate of 10 percent on discounted items.
"A sledge-hammer blow" said Ramon Estalella, secretary general of the hostelry association CEHAT. The secretary general of the hostelry federation FEHR, Emilio Gallego, said industry revenues could be cut by 2.4 billion euros.
Car makers association ANFAC said the VAT impact would cut auto sales by 20,000 to 25,000 cars this year, in a market already in a slump.
On Thursday, industry after industry issued new, dire forecasts, such as the Spanish fisheries confederation CEPESCA which denounced a "cold shower" for the troubled sector.
Two consumers associations, OCU and CEACCOU, calculated that the increase in the general rate of VAT to 21 percent would increase a typical households expenses by between 415 and 600 euros a year.
"One of the engines to get out of this crisis is household consumption and until that is restarted economic activity will not restart either," said Aurelio del Pino, director general of the Spanish supermarket chain association, denouncing the "negative" impact of the tax change.

Nubian Hostel is a delightful and welcoming hostel located right in the middle of downtown Cairo within easy reach of all the interesting sites including the Museum and traditional as well as modern shopping. It overlooks coffee shops, restaurants, yet because the hostel itself is located on the upper floors is private and peaceful. The street it is on is closed to traffic and strictly for pedestrians and shops only. The hostel staff and the "boss" are most kind and helpful . A hidden jewel!

Here I am reading what is supposed to be news from the people who actually watch OLTL and who write OLTL albeit badly, and one would think that they would be the ones who remembered what happened. Here they say that Bo and Nora had an affair and Clint found out about it. Now if I recall (and I do), Bo and Nora found out they were still in love with each other and though they wanted to have sex, they didn't because Nora was married to Bo's brother. David informed Clint of Bo and Nora being together and assumed that they were having an affair while in London seeing to Matthew. They NEVER went to bed together. Unless one considers kissing an affair. I do not. Kissing is kissing. Having sex is a whole nother thing.
Now if there are going to be blots like this newsletter talking about past stuff, it would really be nice and RIGHT if they recalled what they wrote and approved for showing to the fans that have really good memories when it comes to their favorite soaps.

"Okay...but pictures are deceiving."
Room was okay. You could feel EVERY spring in the mattress and the bed spread had stains on it. Not a very good continental breakfast, usually they have good fruit but unless you really like brown bananas then you didn't have any fruit. In the end it is a good cheap place to sleep and shower.

"There should be some standards"
The saying "you get what you pay for" is incredibly true in this case however there should still be some standards. We arrived late Friday night so everything was locked up, when we rang the bell the man (presumably the owner) answered the door and wasn't very receptive of our apologies for being late. When we opened the door to our room there was a […] very old musty odor, the bedspread had what looked like giant grease stains at the foot of the bed, the room was EXTRA tiny, there weren't any extra pillows or blankets, the towels were like sand paper and it sounded like a spring or two broke just putting our bag on the bed. Needless to say we won't ever stay here again. I've stayed in many cheap hotels including a Travelodge in Seattle, econo lodge in Bend, motel 6s throughout the country and this was by far one of the grossest motels. Don't let the photos fool you, that's what happened with us! IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Fine, basic room"
It's your basic low-cost, low-frills room. Had a mini-fridge (that didn't work). I didn't use the TV (but it did a have a nice LCD flat screen). The bed was ok, definitely not amazing but whatever. Room was pretty warm, but opening the window let in all the highway noise, so pick your poison. Had wifi access in the room; a bit slow but it worked. Parking […] was a bit tight at night, but not too bad. I'd stay there again if I really just needed a cheap bed, but for comfort I'd definitely go somewhere else and spend a bit more.

The exterior of the building looks old and run down, so its a bit off putting at first, but the inside of our room and the lobby was very clean and modern.

"Cold and noisy but clean--kind of."
This is your standard cheap hotel experience. Our room was not very up to date, and the door had a gap so we could hear the noise from the street and got a draft. The lock on the door seemed wobbly and was not very reassuring. Otherwise, the room was very clean, the staff was friendlyish, and Newport's attractions weren't too far away. I would not recommend […] the continental breakfast though. As I was debating between one of the bagels or cereal, the woman from the front desk came over to refill the case that held doughnuts. She grabbed the doughnuts with her ungloved hands and arranged them in the case, despite the fact that a set of tongs was sitting on the top of the case. It would be nice if there were a higher standard for handling food at this hotel. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

Well we were looking for a decent hotel for a fair price and what we got was a tiny room with a horrible mattress and the bedding which was supposed to be brand new had so many stains on them i dont think i have ever seen anything quite like it before, i almost didnt want to sleep in a bed with random stains that i dont know what they even were. The […] carpet was damp and made my socks wet. the shower was very unclean it just had alot of dirt build up on the floor of the shower and wasnt appealing to shower in. I thought that for $86.00 i would get a better experience than i did but i guess i should have payed the extra 20.00 for a WAY better room and hotel. I would recommend to future hotel seekers, spend the extra money and stay somewhere nice that you dont find stains on your supposed clean sheets! IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

Disgusting! I would have given it 0 out of 5 but this site wouldn't let me submit this with all zero's.

The blanket and comforter smelled and were filthy and couldn't be used. The carpet […] was dirty and stained and it smelled. The bathroom was NOT cleaned from the prior guest-the toilet, sink & floor were dirty! The prior guests used soap and strands of hair were still in the shower! The shower curtain smelled from mildew. The room was very small - each bed was pushed against a wall, only accessible from one side of the bed and only a nightstand fit between them leaving a small walk space. The old damaged refrigerator & microwave were too dirty to use. Almost all of staff acted as if they spoke no English. The front desk clerk spoke English but was very rude to the guests.

"May be I should be less critical?"
While the metrics suggest a superior motel I just wasn't all that happy with it. The non-smoking room still had a faint (tobacco?) odor. The all-too-soft mattress seemed to have a crinkly plastic cover. While there were plenty of electrical outlets some were hard or impossible to use (like behind the bed). The smoke detector was chirping when I entered […] the room and this was quickly fixed. I was next to the maintenance room which contained power tools that were active well into the evening. I received an unwanted early wakeup call and complained at the desk but it was repeated the next morning. While all of my issues are minor I think there were just too many of them.

The rate we got for this hotel is just right for the 4th of July stay.

Is Isla too close to Olivia?
My husband and I don't agree on this. He says that they're not 'too close' but I think they are. I've loved Isla for a long time but I just can't imagine sisters with names that close. Am I right or is he (based on your opinion)?
If you think they are too close I would love suggestions! Big sister's name is Olivia Li Mei and for a boy we've already picked Nathaniel, which was my grandfather's name. Thank you in advance for any help!my babies:

Using a straightforward comparative method, the editors¿ analysis not only reveals a significant area of convergence between the PECL and Italian contract law, but also highlights the main differences between the two bodies of rules. The reasons for these differences, both legal and non-legal (such as historical, social, economic), are clearly set forth.
The book provides complete texts, with annotations, of the PECL and the corresponding Italian rules. The presentation proceeds as follows:
The editors commentary includes extensive reference to case law and legal doctrine at all essential points. In this way they provide a comprehensive description of the law in action as well as its evolving trends.
In addition, incisive essays by two leading experts in the field of comparative law, prof. Rodolfo Sacco and prof. Michael Joachim Bonell, analyse the relationship of the PECL and Italian law and its wider framework in the harmonisation of private law at the European and international levels.
The book is a valuable handbook and guide for both foreign and Italian lawyers. For non-Italian lawyers, be they practitioners or academics, it provides a concise but complete and up-to-date outline of current Italian contract law, organized on the basis of a system (PECL) with which many European lawyers are familiar. For Italian lawyers, it offers a clearer insight into a wider European legal contract system whose importance in the evolution of a common European private law is growing rapidly.

It's an oft-noted irony of the confrontation in Chicago that Mayor Rahm Emanuel sends his children to the private, $20,000-a-year University of Chicago Lab School, which means his family doesn't really have much of a personal stake in what happens to the school system he is trying to reform. This is pretty routine behavior for rich people in Chicago, and there's a pretty good reason for it: Chicago's public schools are terrible. If you care about your children's education, and can afford to buy your way out of public schools, as Emanuel can, it's perfectly reasonable to do so. Barack and Michelle Obama made a similar decision, opting to purchase a quality education for their daughters at Sidwell Friends rather than send them to one of Washington, D.C.'s, deeply troubled public schools...

Meeting Place: Grand Hyatt Hotel, New York City, New York
Meeting Called to Order
With President Irwin Gratz presiding, the meeting of the board of directors of the Society of Professional Journalists was called to order at 9:10 a.m. on Sunday, September 12, 2004, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City.
Roll Call
In addition to President Gratz, the following were in attendance for all or a portion of the meeting: Immediate Past President Mac McKerral; Vice President for Campus Chapter Affairs Jim Highland; Directors at Large Sally Lehrman and Jim Parker; Campus Advisers at Large Mead Loop and Neil Ralston; Campus Representatives Callie Martell and Sonya Smith; Regional Directors Carl Corry, Ann Augherton, Holly Fisher, Richard Roth, Dave Aeikens, Travis Poling, Deb Hurley, Scott Maben, and Clint Brewer; Executive Director Terry Harper; and Deputy Executive Director Julie Grimes.
Kansas State University Resolution
Relative to the work of the campus task force investigating the reassignment of the campus newspaper adviser at Kansas State University, Ralston introduced a resolution for the board's consideration.
Upon proper motion and second by Aeikens and Brewer, respectively, the board adopted the resolution.
The resolution is attached to these minutes as Exhibit A.
News Conferences
A request for a resolution calling on this and future Presidents of the United States to conduct regular and open press conferences had been made to the committee too late for consideration by the convention delegates. Since no specific language had been proposed, President Gratz asked that the matter be referred to the Executive Committee for preparation. McKerral offered to take the lead in preparing the resolution.
Upon proper motion and second by Brewer and Corry, respectively, the board instructed McKerral and the Executive Committee to prepare a resolution stating SPJ's position regarding the importance of open and ongoing presidential news conferences.

David E. Carlson

Holly Fisher
Executive Committee Elections
President Gratz called for nominations for the two available seats on the board's executive committee. Parker and Fisher were nominated.
Upon proper motion and second, Jim Parker and Holly Fisher were elected to serve on the executive committee for a one-year term expiring at the close of the 2005 convention.
The Journalist
With 2004 publisher Amy Lemel and Sigma Delta Chi Foundation Vice President Betsy Ashton present, the board discussed producing a 2005 issue of The Journalist.
Ashton strongly encouraged the board to support the project for another year. Ashton said the magazine presented SPJ as classy, in touch with leading journalists and on top of journalism news. Ashton said she is confident the magazine can again secure writers and comp photographers.
Board members discussed the need for a business plan and marketing strategy for the magazine. Brewer suggested the need for printing bids and advertising plans and projections. Gratz pointed out that beyond a marketing tool, the magazine was created as a potential new revenue stream, and it needs to generate revenue and make a profit.
Loop spoke to the long-term benefit of the magazine and encouraged the board to capitalize on the momentum of the current issue. Brewer also spoke in favor of the publication.
Roth questioned how the publication was different from AJR and CJR and how the publisher could ensure enough advertising revenue to make the venture profitable. Ashton responded that the magazine is design focused and is more of a yearbook that would become a keepsake.
Upon proper motion and second by Parker and Fisher, respectively, the board voted to proceed with production of The Journalist in 2005.
Board Member Orientation
Malena Barzilai, Baker and Hostetler LLP, reviewed the Society's mission, as well as board member responsibilities and duties.
Regarding First Amendment issues, the Baker & Hostetler contacts are Barzilai, Bruce Brown, Bob Lystad, and Bruce Sanford. Harper also works with Baker & Hostetler's Cleveland office of regarding tax exempt issues. Harper encouraged the board to be judicious about calls to legal counsel.
Corry suggested that a board information handbook be prepared for all board members. Staff will update and distribute it to board members. The book should include expectations about policies, board member responsibilities, and deadlines and notes about written reports from board members.
Harper pointed out that reports for the spring board meeting would be due at headquarters by April 8. The board meeting will be April 30 in Indianapolis.
Future Convention Sites
Beginning with the 2005 convention in Las Vegas, headquarters staff will be primarily responsible for planning and executing national conventions. Staff will manage fund raising; develop a programming grid; work with the Professional Development Committee to complete the grid; and seek out future convention sites.
Board members should send programming suggestions to the Professional Development Committee and copy any messages to Gratz and Harper.
The board discussed future convention sites and the need to plan further ahead.
Upon proper motion and second by Aeikens and Highland, respectively, the board voted to make plans for hosting the national convention – pending full research – in the following locations:
2006 – Chicago, Ill.
2007 – Williamsburg, Va.
2008 – Atlanta, Ga.
2009 – Indianapolis, Ind.
2010 – New York City
Committee Appointments
Gratz reported that most committee chairs have been appointed and the lineup will be distributed to the board shortly. The only outstanding position is the chair of the Legal Defense Fund. Gratz noted that committee chairs will receive $500 stipends for committee-related activities.
Western Kentucky University Proposal
Highland reported that Western Kentucky University plans to prepare and publish a series of First Amendment case studies. WKU will be seeking a $10,000 grant from the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation this spring to fund the project. Highland sought SPJ's support for the project.
The group discussed the fact that some of these case studies will be based on the work of SPJ task forces. An independent person may evaluate the history of an issue and the work of a task force.
Upon proper motion and second by Parker and Smith, respectively, the board endorsed Western Kentucky University's case study project. Highland abstained from the voting.
New Business
High School Program
Poling said he had been asked to have the board discuss the San Diego Pro Chapter's work to encourage high school journalism. It was the consensus of the board that SPJ should develop a "best practices" tip sheet that focuses on valuable high school programs and partnerships that involve SPJ chapters. Staff should create this tip sheet.
Membership Retention Idea
Roth encouraged board and staff to examine ways to increase membership retention. He proposed allowing freshmen to pay dues for four or five years – at a discount – when they first join SPJ. Staff should examine the feasibility of this idea and report back at a future date.
Student Representative Responsibilities
Martell asked for information about the role of the student board representatives and the funding available to assist with their work. Harper advised Martel and Smith to work with him and Grimes to outline their responsibilities and plan their schedules well in advance of any scheduled trips.
2005 Regional Conference Schedule
Harper reminded regional directors that regional conferences should be scheduled to take place after April 1 to allow for adequate processing and judging of the regional Mark of Excellence Awards. He also pointed out that regional pages were available at spj.org to promote regional conferences and activities. SPJ provides the template, and regional directors or designees fill in the conference information.
Lehrman encouraged regional directors to consider the Rainbow Sourcebook and Diversity Toolbox when planning programming for regional conferences. Consider incorporating training around sourcing in diversity.
The following conferences were noted:
Region 1: April 8-9, Stanford, Conn.
Region 2: April 8-9, Towson State University, Towson, Md.
Region 3: April 8-9, Charleston, S.C.
Region 4: April TBD, Morgantown, W.V.
Region 5: TBD
Region 6: April 1-2, Bloomington, Minn.
Region 7: TBD
Region 8: March 18-19 (TBD), San Antonio
Region 9: TDB, Salt Lake City, Utah
Region 10: May 6-7, Seattle, Wash.
Region 11: April TBD, Palm Springs, Calif.
Region 12: April 1-2, New Orleans, La.
Harper reminded regional directors that each region would receive a grant of $500 from the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation to assist with speaker travel for the regional conference.
Student Ink
Smith reported that she is already working to create "Student Ink," an online newsletter for student members. She anticipates the first issue will be distributed in October or November. Smith also plans to focus on starting new chapters in the coming year.
There being no further business to come before the board of directors, President Gratz entertained a motion to adjourn. Upon proper motion and second by Smith and Martell, respectively, the meeting was adjourned at 11:05 a.m. on Sunday, September 12, 2004.
Resolution Concerning the Reassignment of newspaper adviser
Ron Johnson at Kansas State University
WHEREAS, the Society of Professional Journalists is dedicated to the perpetuation of a free press as the cornerstone of our nation and our liberty; and
WHEREAS, one of the missions of the Society is to maintain constant vigilance in protection of the First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech and of the press; and
WHEREAS, another mission of the Society is to encourage a climate in which journalism can be practiced freely; and
WHEREAS, the Society also is dedicated to inspiring successive generations of talented individuals to become dedicated journalists; and
WHEREAS, administrators at Kansas State University removed Ron Johnson as newspaper adviser of the independent student newspaper, the Kansas State Collegian, effective May 24, 2004; and
WHEREAS, Kansas State University journalism school Director Todd Simon stated that one of the reasons for the removal was that a content analysis of the student newspaper indicated to him that "news content has fallen below standards;" and
WHEREAS, removing the adviser of an independent student newspaper at a public university violates the First Amendment principles of free speech and a free press when the action is an attempt to change the future content of the newspaper; and
WHEREAS, the action taken at such a highly regarded university as Kansas State University may encourage administrators at other schools to take similar action, thereby adding to the degradation of the First Amendment protections for college students nationwide;
Therefore BE IT RESOLVED that the Society of Professional Journalists hereby condemns in the strongest terms possible the removal of Ron Johnson as newspaper adviser because the action is a clear violation of the principles of free speech and a free press,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Society encourages all other journalism organizations that have not already done so to join in the condemnation of such a blatant violation of First Amendment freedoms,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in light of Kansas State University's actions, the Society recommends that high school students who are considering a career in journalism carefully examine whether the schools they are considering show full and unwavering respect for the rights of free speech and a free press that are so vital to journalism in the United States of America.

Gidday, I recently released man-pages-2.33, which can be found at the location in the .sig. Changes in this release that may be of interest to readers of this list include the following: New page -------- mq_getsetattr.2 mtk New page briefly describing mq_getsetattr(2), the system call that underlies mq_setattr(3) and mq_getattr(3). ========== The man-pages set contains sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 of the manual pages. These sections describe the following: 2: (Linux) system calls 3: (libc) library functions 4: Devices 5: File formats and protocols 7: Overview pages, conventions, etc. As far as this list is concerned the most relevant parts are: all of sections 2 and 4, which describe kernel-userland interfaces; in section 5, the proc(5) manual page, which attempts (it's always catching up) to be a comprehensive description of /proc; and various pages in section 7, some of which are overview pages of kernel features (e.g., networking protocols). If you make a change to a kernel-userland interface, or observe a discrepancy between the manual pages and reality, would you please send me (at email@example.com ) one of the following (in decreasing order of preference): 1. An in-line "diff -u" patch with text changes for the corresponding manual page. (The most up-to-date version of the manual pages can always be found at ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/manpages or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages .) 2. Some raw text describing the changes, which I can then integrate into the appropriate manual page. 3. A message alerting me that some part of the manual pages does not correspond to reality. Eventually, I will try to remedy the situation. Obviously, as we get further down this list, more of my time is required, and things may go slower, especially when the changes concern some part of the kernel that I am ignorant about and I can't find someone to assist. Cheers, Michael -- Michael Kerrisk maintainer of Linux man pages Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 Want to help with man page maintenance? Grab the latest tarball at ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/manpages/, read the HOWTOHELP file and grep the source files for 'FIXME'. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to firstname.lastname@example.com More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

what parents say
"EMU is a great value when compared to tuition, room and board as an in-state student at a state-affiliated university. What first appears as lower cost can actually be even more expensive in the end. More important than affordability is employment. Our daughter had several job interviews in early June, accepted a position at Augusta Health by mid June and started employment July 6."
_-Linford (80) and Beth Ann (81) Good, parents of Rachel, a 2011 EMU nursing graduate
Welcome, EMU Parents!
We're thrilled to welcome you to our campus and community, and we want to engage you in the programs and development of EMU. None of what we do could happen without you.
Emergency alerts
We know that parents' number one concern is the safety of their student. If you would like to register your cell phone to receive EMU emergency alerts that are sent out to all subscribers via the e2campus system, you may have your student register your number when they log in and sign up for the alerts. Please be in touch with your student to discuss registering your number.

Your child's success after college
Our goal at EMU is to prepare your student to launch into life beyond college as a healthy, whole young adult, who is prepared not only academically, but also emotionally, spiritually and physically for life.
Because of EMU's attention to the whole self, EMU graduates are preferred by both employers and grad schools. In fact, just under 90% of EMU grads find work or pursue further education in their field of choice within a year of graduation.
- 95% of EMU grads who apply to medical school are accepted, far above the national average.
- Acceptance rate for all health sciences – veterinary school, dental, etc. – is 93%.
- Nearly 100% of teacher education grads are employed as teachers within six months of graduation.
- 94% of EMU nursing grads pass their state boards (NCLEX-RN) on the first try.
Your child's success in life
It's hard to put a price tag on a college education, especially one that prepares students for life in so many ways.
EMU grads live out their values, too. In a recent alumni survey, 69% of grads say they volunteer regularly in their church or community, and 44% participate in mission and service assignments. EMU President Loren Swartzendruber says 'an EMU education is most effective with students who have been nurtured by families and congregations with similar values.'
