Real Salt Lake reserve goalkeeper Lalo Fernandez made his pro debut on Thursday night, going the full 90 and making two saves in Phoenix FC's 1-0 win over Antigua Barracuda at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium.
Fernandez traveled to Phoenix on Tuesday afternoon, training with the Wolves on Wednesday before earning the shutout on Thursday night. The 20-year-old RSL-Arizona Academy graduate will now return to the Claret-and-Cobalt.
Fernandez could very well return to Phoenix for more games later this year.

Portland's fans unveiled quite the tifo for Tuesday night's U.S.-Belize Gold Cup match, unfurling several huge banners and a green, "Cascadia" Uncle Sam just prior to the start of the Stars-and-Stripes' 6-1 Group C win at Jeld-Wen Field.
You know by now that the U.S. is coming to Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday for a Group C doubleheader. RSL's Kyle Beckerman, Tony Beltran, Nick Rimando and the rest of Jurgen Klinsmann's side will take on Cuba at 1:00 p.m. MT, with Claret-and-Cobalt forward Alvaro Saborio and Costa Rica playing Belize immediately afterwards at 4:00 p.m. The game will be a great chance - the second one this summer, of course - for Salt Lake fans to put a unique stamp on a national team match. Portland did it last night - let's get after it in our own way on Saturday.
Real Salt Lake midfielder Kyle Beckerman dropped an absolute dime on the U.S.'s second goal in Tuesday's Gold Cup Group C opener against Belize, curling a beauty of a cross into San Jose forward Chris Wondolowski for a headed goal in Portland.
Check out Kyle's gorgeous cross above. Some Twitter love for the Claret-and-Cobalt captain is below:
Great ball from Beckerman. Wondo will get headlines but both goals had great service.

We're at just about the halfway mark of the 2013 season and midseason awards columns are starting to roll out.
ESPN FC's Jeff Carlisle's gave RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando some love in his awards column on Monday morning, naming the veteran 'keeper his MLS Goalkeeper of the Year. Nice call, Jeff: Amongst goalkeepers with at least 10 starts, Rimando leads the league in save percentage, wins and goals against average and is near the top in shutouts and saves.
Of course, Rimando brings much more than solid numbers to RSL. As Carlisle points out:
"The veteran netminder's contribution transcends mere numbers. RSL's rebuilding project saw the departure of former Defender of the Year Jamison Olave while injuries to Kwame Watson-Siriboe and Chris Schuler have also prevented RSL from fielding anything remotely resembling a consistent backline. All of which points to Rimando's experience and organization in keeping RSL among the league's defensive leaders."
Currently with the U.S. national team, Rimando will return to RSL following the conclusion of the CONCACAF Gold Cup at the end of July. He'll likely be in action at Rio Tinto Stadium with the U.S. squad this Saturday, when the Americans will take on Cuba at 1:30 p.m. in the first match of a Gold Cup doubleheader that will see RSL forward Alvaro Saborio and Costa Rica take on Belize at the RioT at 4:00 p.m. Get your tickets to the Gold Cup doubleheader here.
On the back of a match struck by experimentation, Jason Kreis's side has been hit once again by international absences. Heading into tomorrow's match against the Philadelphia Union, the concerns weigh on the mind, but solid squad depth should play an easing role.
The 4-3-3: Did it work?
When we take a look back at last weekend, we will rightly wonder if the switch to a 4-3-3 worked. It's a difficult question to answer with the sort of win we found, as it wasn't particularly a win that was down to the system. That said, we saw that it has some potential, particularly in pushing players in wide areas. It did lack a bit of thrust from the midfield, and the strikers were increasingly isolated; whether this is down to a systemic issue or to personnel is difficult to say without further evidence.
That noted, we're not likely to see it again tomorrow unless we're making a second-half adjustment. It would be reasonable to assume that Jason Kreis wasn't looking to change the diamond, but to explore other options for adjustments as needed.
Absence makes the heart grow something-something
Four incredibly important players will be absent for this match and for a few more: Nick Rimando, Tony Beltran, Kyle Beckerman, and Alvaro Saborio are all off with international absences, and when you're missing four crucial players, things get — shall we say — tricky. Continuity becomes an issue, as does a drop-off in performance. But critically, some tactical decisions will be involved as well.
Josh Saunders may be a fine goalkeeper, but Nick Rimando is superb when playing with a high-line defense in front of him, as he is quick and good with his feet. Saunders is less of both of those things, though he is certainly a good shot-stopper. A bit more caution from the defenders will be necessitated, and perhaps this will force the defensive midfielder to sit back a little further to allow less room to exploit.
Yordany Alvarez, who will almost certainly be in for Beckerman, lacks the vision and precision of Beckerman, but his break-up play is superb, and he's not a slouch in attack. With him dropping back, the outside midfielders will need to tuck in a bit more, and the full backs will need to push a bit more forward to snuff out wide play.
Saborio's absence certainly affects the attack, but as importantly as anything, he serves as an escape for the midfield and defense in difficult situations. While he may lose the ball from a high-risk pass, his position higher up the pitch obviates much of the risk faced when the opposition receives the ball in dangerous positions. Without him in the side, the ball is more likely to be played to strikers in wide positions, which are more difficult to attack from for a side like ours.
Patching the holes
Those absences aren't damning. Saunders, Palmer and Alvarez should slot in rather naturally, even if things change as a result. All permutations of our striking pairs are now tested and have their positives and negatives, so Saborio's absence is not nearly so worrying. The defense is solidifying after a fine performance from Aaron Maund. It's all getting there — but while we're patching holes, we want to be succeeding through the summer glut.

Real Salt Lake returns to MLS action on Wednesday, when it will take on the Philadelphia Union at Rio Tinto Stadium. Wednesday's match will kickoff at 8:00 p.m. with Independence Day fireworks following the game.
Here are a few interesting storylines to watch ahead of Wednesday's match:
RSL on a tear
Saturday's 1-0 victory against Toronto extended RSL's active club-record win streak to 7 consecutive games in all competitions (4-0-0 MLS, 3-0-0 U.S. Open Cup). During the month of June, RSL went 6-0-0 in MLS/USOC play, outscoring its opponents 17-3.
No brotherly love
Real Salt Lake has never lost to Philadelphia, posting a 2-0-3 mark in five league matches against the Union. The Claret-and-Cobalt is a perfect 2-0-0 against the Union at Rio Tinto Stadium, beating Philadelphia 3-0 in Sandy on May 8, 2010 and 2-1 on Sept. 3, 2011.
Rio Tinto Stadium regains "Fortress" status
After losing six home games in 2012, RSL has re-established the RioT as "The Fortress" this season, posting a 9-1-2 record across all competitions. RSL is now 69-13-21 in its last 103 home games dating back to the beginning of 2008, Jason Kreis' first full season. In that span, RSL has outscored opponents by 128 goals (191-71), with a 55-10-23 regular season mark, 6-1-1 CCL record, 3-1-1 playoffs, 4-1-0 Open Cup and 2-0-1 in international exhibitions.
100 in sight
A victory on Wednesday would be Real Salt Lake's 100th MLS regular season win. Head Coach Jason Kreis notched win No. 100 in all competitions with last week's Open Cup win over Carolina, with Saturday's win at Toronto his 101st all-time in regular season, playoff, CCL and USOC play.
Duty calls
Both teams will be without several players on Wednesday night due to CONCACAF Gold Cup call ups.
RSL will be without all-time leading scorer Alvaro Saborio for the second straight match after he departed for the Costa Rican national team ahead of Saturday's win at Toronto; that victory at BMO Field was the last match for likely a month for a trio of RSL's US internationals Captain Kyle Beckerman, defender Tony Beltran and goalkeeper Nick Rimando.
Philadelphia will be without two players, losing MLS leading scorer Jack McInerney to the U.S. national team and midfielder Keon Daniel to the Trinidad & Tobago squad.
Real Salt Lake won again on Saturday, getting a first half goal from midfielder Yordany Alvarez to beat Toronto FC 1-0 at BMO Field.
Here are some interesting numbers from the match:
The number one had plenty of significance for RSL on Saturday. The win was RSL's first in 11 tries in Canada across all competitions; Alvarez's goal was his first in MLS play for the Claret-and-Cobalt and the team's first MLS goal at BMO Field; defender Aaron Maund turned in a solid performance in his first MLS start for RSL; and the victory keeps RSL in first-place in both the Supporters' Shield and Western Conference races.
Saturday's win was RSL's seventh-straight across all competitions. The Claret-and-Cobalt is 9-0-1 in its last 10 matches across all comps and 10-1-1 in its last 12 games in all competitions since the start of May. RSL has outscored its opponents 31-11 since the start of May, good for a +20 goal differential.
This weekend's victory was RSL's 99th in MLS regular season play. The Claret-and-Cobalt is now 99-103-68 in regular season action. The Utah side is 68-43-35 in regular season action since the start of its MLS Cup winning season of 2009.
Saturday's shutout was the 105th of RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando's career. Rimando – who has six league shutouts this year – needs seven more shutouts to pull even with Kevin Hartman's 112 for the all-time MLS clean-sheet lead.
Saturday's clean-sheet was the Claret-and-Cobalt's third-consecutive in all competitions. RSL hasn't given up a goal in 372 minutes, last conceding in the 18th minute of its 120-minute 5-2 U.S. Open Cup fourth-round win over the Charleston Battery on June 12.
By scoring on Saturday, Alvarez became the 11th RSL player to score in MLS play this year, surpassing the 10 players that scored for the Claret-and-Cobalt in league action in 2012. Counting Open Cup play, RSL has had 13 players score goals this season.
Maund became the 24th RSL player to start a league game this year on Saturday. Considering the Claret-and-Cobalt's first-place standing, that's a remarkable show of depth. RSL started 23 different players in league action in all of last season.

Groups differ on surf smelt presence in Winslow marina
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND — An environmental group has appealed a hydraulic permit issued by the state for work in the Winslow Wharf Marina because of the presence of surf smelt and has requested more restrictions on the project.
According to the Nov. 20 permit issued by Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife marine area habitat biologist Chris Waldbillig, the permit authorizes the removal of about 90 piling from the 31-year-old marina and installing approximately 104 steel pilings.
The permit also allows the use of both vibratory and impact hammer, as well as work in the "upper shoreline reaches typically utilized for forage fish spawning."
In addition, Waldbillig said the marina's project would improve some of its environmental conditions, such as removing creosote piling and replacing with them steel pilings; installing new floats, which incorporate grating to allow light to penetrate to the seafloor; and repositioning floats so that they won't "ground out at low tides."
Surf smelt are a schooling fish found in shorewaters along Puget Sound that become food for seabirds, marine mammals and fishes — including salmon — the Department of Ecology says on its website.
Sound Action Executive Director Amy Carey said she commends Winslow Wharf Marina for renovating its marina but is appealing the permit because Fish & Wildlife doesn't have surf smelt restriction.
"Surf smelt spawning is abundant in that area," Carey said. "The requirement that they should sample for spawning activity should be applied to the permit as a condition, according to the hydraulic code. Surf smelt do spawn throughout Eagle Harbor, and the site location has only been tested one day in 1992 and, because of that, Fish & Wildlife will say it's not documented. And that's absolutely not a way to determine a baseline."
Waldbillig said the area around the Winslow Wharf Marina is only listed as a "potential spawning habitat for surf smelt" because the field crews who sampled the beach didn't find eggs.
"Sound Action is correct that it was sampled last in 1992," Waldbillig said. "Site visit observations (in July) and aerial photographs confirmed that suitable substrate was not present inside the marina or adjacent for forage fish to spawn. The habitat inside the marina consisted of mud and silt with the dominate hard substrate being quarry spall. This is not uncommon for a dredged marina."
Waldbillig said that surf smelt protections weren't included in the permit because the habitat wasn't present and that the nearest documented spawning locations were more than 300 meters away, to the south across Eagle Harbor and to the east on the other side of the Bainbridge ferry terminal.
"The HPA (hydraulic protection approval) was provisioned to limit work between March through July to protect juvenile salmonids migrating through the area," Waldbillig said. "Construction activities in the nearshore area, below and above water, while young salmon are adapting to saltwater and feeding, are restricted. The HPA also requires sound attenuation be used if piling need to be driven into the substrate."
Protecting pivotal fish habitat and ensuring that the state is applying its regulations appropriately is what Carey said her Vashon-based watchdog organization is hoping to accomplish through its appeal. Carey said her group hopes to schedule an informal hearing with Waldbillig this week.
"Our intent is not to just beat up on the Department (of Fish & Wildlife) and in fact we carry the intent of supporting the Department in work that they do and we make that clear to them in every conversation we have," Carey said. "(But) it's very clear the regulatory system is broken and as a result we have habitat being lost with every permit that's being approved."

Introducing the FemaleWolfpack. I've been helping her on this project and couldn't be more excited. Basically, it's a website that is meant to do one thing and one thing only. Showcase chicks out there getting radical. Skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, climbing, BASE jumping, kayakaing, surfing, skateboarding…. ANYTHING. It's a media platform to get footage out there and main stream of girls essentially killing it. It's for professional athletes and up and coming shredders alike. Check out the teaser below. You may recognize a certain skier/BASE jumper making a few appearances.
Aaaannndddddd, (drumroll) lucky you… here is a PREVIEW SITE. It hasn't officially launched yet but you are special so you get to check out the preview version. Once it launches, there will be a new featured video regularly and generally refreshing the face-melting-chick-action supply. CLICK HERE FOR THE PREVIEW SITE
I just have to say one more thing… something Rachael and I agree on and, well, I won't get started on my soapbox right now (we'll save that for another post) but the one thing that I am most proud of with this site, is the only rule basically is no nudity or or sexual exploitation. As women, and especially as women in our sport, you can get lots of attention, likes, views, and fans by strutting around in lingerie and ski boots, down-dogging in your underwear, skiing naked lines, and base jumping with your boobs out- (I have good friends who've done all of this, please don't take offense… I'm just adding my opinion to the melting pot) This works for some girls, and hey, the more power to you I guess- but I personally think it widens the gap between men and women as actual athletes because it just etches us deeper in the minds of a male dominated sport as sex symbols and objects rather than legitimate athletes. A photographer said to me once, (that I won't mention his name here) "you women should just stick to being lingerie models, it's something that you are actually good at, leave the skiing to the men." I should have punched him in the face then and there but I was too young and too shy to stick up for myself. I'll never forget those words, now it's just fuel to send it even harder. Sure, I accept and embrace the fact that I'm a women and yes, we are different, but I chose to gain attention by sending it rather than sexing it. But maybe it's because I'm stubborn and always seem to do things the hard way. Who knows. Here is an excerpt from the site-
"One more thing, and one of the things I feel most passionately about for the site and for the general purpose of girls in a world like ours. The only rule for the submissions on this site- "There are ample opportunities for women to promote themselves as sex symbols. FemaleWolfPack is designed to promote female visibility in another light: as athletes. Don't exploit your femininity to gain visibility: the point with the website is that now you don't have to. Take this opportunity to be sexy just by kicking ass at your sport. If you have a problem with this… then start your own sexy site. Sorry. "
The first website designed specifically to increase female visibility in individual action sports, FemaleWolfpack.com, prepares for launch. FemaleWolfpack.com will highlight video content only.The website features a media platform for professional and amateur female action sports athletes to showcase edits, video clips, helmet cam moments, and more.
"I've been skiing professionally for 6 years and have been frustrated by the limitations of filming opportunities based on sponsorship alliances and existing film paradigms. I feel like if you're doing things that are film-worthy, you should be filmed. Subsequently I decided to ripple the waters a bit: I want to give all girls an opportunity to be seen. . . FemaleWolfpack.com is a place to show the world what we're capable of." –Rachael Burks, professional freeskier/ founder FemaleWolfpack.com
FemaleWolfpack.com is unprecedented, unprejudiced, and unrestricted. It highlights female athletes from all disciplines including: skiing, snowboarding, surfing, skating, slack‐lining, BASE‐jumping, speed‐flying, climbing, kayaking, dancing, mountain biking, and more. The website is an organization of interesting video content. It is a place for any online viewer interested in action sports entertainment to go and watch incredible footage without spending time weeding through viral clutter. Conceived as an unbiased platform, FemaleWolfpack.com gives women an opportunity to streamline their talent without reliance on financial commitments. The idea is simple: create the video, upload it, and submit it to FemaleWolfpack.com for international exposure.
"I think that the place to start is with smaller edits with videographers and also doing self edits with GoPro's and whatnot. People love watching girls shred (and trust me...there are a lot of girls that shred!!)"- Katie Holden (Professional mountain biker)
"The best way to teach is by example; let's teach the whole world that women are rad through simply showcasing what already exists. " –Suz Graham (Only female ski-BASE-jumper on the planet)

Bankruptcy Court Needs History Lesson
Nuances of emergency manager law missing
According to the news reports on the Detroit bankruptcy proceedings, Judge Steven Rhodes is interested in the legality of the state's emergency financial manager law.
Unfortunately, neither side seems to be making the plain case about why the state reverted to the emergency financial manager law following the rejection by voters of the emergency manager law, nor are they acknowledging the differences between the two.
To get the story behind the new law, see Michigan Capitol Confidential. And for a history of Michigan's emergency manager law, see this section of our Proposal 1 Policy Brief.

Mariah Carey in hospital
Mariah Carey in hospital
Story by abigail
Mariah Carey was rushed to hospital after dislocating her shoulder.
The 43-year-old singer was on the set of the music video for her '#Beautiful' remix with Jeezy – which is being directed by her husband Nick Cannon – when she took a tumble which caused the injury on Sunday (07.07.13) but her representative insists Mariah is fine.
It is believed she may have fallen due to the high heels she was wearing for the video shoot.
Well, duh.
Is this a sign that the remix should not be done? Maybe the gods are telling her so…I mean, let's be honest. It's pretty believable that Mariah fell because of ridiculous high heels, and ungodly moves that people half her age should be doing. Throw away the 7-inch stilettos, Mariah. You're, like, 40.

Toys "R" Us: Dippin' Dot Makers on clearance for only $4.98 (regularly $29.99!)
Sounded awesome as my daughter LOVES these but when I checked out their reviews – unfortunately, they have VERY poor reviews. Just a heads up! :)
I checked out the reviews too and they were the worst I had ever seen for a toy. Steering clear here!
Anyone know where you get the coupon?/ deal for the target jockey offer of buy 1 get 1 free? It says on the post it is for red card holders but I am not sure what this means?
The red card is Target's debit card….looks like a credit card but is actually tied to your checking account, so money is debited and you never get a bill.
yes, thanks for the reply Susan, I have a red card, but I had no idea there are special coupons out ther for the red card holders. I am unsure how to take advantage of the offer that was posted about the jockey items. Thanks guys
We also passed on the Dippin' Dots deal when we saw that it does not come with the mix needed to make them…and it seems like they are being discontinued. They also did not have any of the mixes available at Toys R Us.
I can't find the State Fair coupon. :( Has anyone been able to find it?
I can't find it either. What zip code should I be using?
Dollar General coupon gone.
The coupon is on dollargeneral.com

Well, it's Wednesday, and so far I've done two posts–and gotten more than 170 comments–in the new "framing science" dialogue that I've sought to begin here. Let's briefly recap, so that I can then explain how I'll be moving forward. Meanwhile, Sheril wants to start weighing in, so expect her to do that later today.
First, I began with my "framer culpa": Clearly, I have not managed to get these ideas across to many ScienceBlogs folks in a way that resonates. Rather, the subject has become polarized, and generated far more heat than light. I am in part to blame. Mistakes have been made–ironic communication mistakes. I'm now hoping to fix those.
My original plan for doing so was to take you through a narrative of how this matter got so nasty over the course of a year–which I still plan to do. At the end of that process, I hope to have explored the dynamics and even the sociology of the divide between, say, a PZ Myers and a Matthew Nisbet–one, a funny and prolific blogger, the other, a sometimes-too-serious academic who, I think, has a bit of a tin ear for the blogosphere.
I still plan on doing that; but in the meantime, yesterday we did a really helpful exercise (to me) in which I laid out the framing science "premises"–prior to their application to any specific issue–and then readers pointed out which premises they rejected. This was very illuminating to me. So I now also need to do a post or series of posts defending some of the premises (or agreeing to disagree about them).
Finally, I ultimately wanted to get to some remarks about Expelled and the importance of civility on ScienceBlogs–but I'm still pretty far away from achieving that. So, in short, we have a long way to go, and there's no way my original plans will be achieved within the week.
Nevertheless, I think progress has already been made, and there will be more. So please sit tight and enjoy the ride–and bear with me, as sometimes these posts take a long time to write. Nevertheless, we will end up, I think, at a better, calmer place than before–a common ground. But it could take a while to get there.
In the meantime, I am going to let Sheril weigh in to defend one of my premises for me–premise six, I believe. She speaks out of her personal experience working on Capitol Hill, so I really think her perspective on the matter is invaluable. I hope you enjoy.

Leesha, you really need to try the Stila new Jewel shadows. They are AMAZING! I bought one in Amethyst to try it out, and it's to DIE FOR! I will be purchasing more. I think Stila once came out with a little palette of these before but now they have singles with more colors. They look like wet shadows when applied with no fallout. No glitter, just shimmer. Very similar to these which is why I brought it up. I didn't like the Stardust as much, it had some fallout for me. Well the one I purchased did and I ended up returning it. Stila did it better with the wet shadow look than these in my honest opinion.
Urban Decay Stardust Eyeshadows Part 2: Bright Shades
Here is part 2 of my UD Starburst photos- the brights! These include two shades of purple (a lilac and a darker violet) a bright grass green, and a super gorgeous pool-blue turquoise. Check it out!
54, Retrograde, Griffith, Atmosphere (Applied over UD Primer Potion)
54, Retrograde, Griffith, Atmosphere (Applied over NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk)
Check out Part 1: Reviewing the Natural Stardust Shades!
As stated on the Urban Decay website, these are meant to be super sparkly with just a wash of color, so they are meant to be sheer. of the four, Retrograde and Atmosphere definitely have the most color payoff, with Atmosphere being amazing over Milk (and my favorite color in general!) These look best applied over other shadows, or on top of a similar (or white) eyeliner. The photos don't do the shimmer justice, unfortunately its VERY hard to capture exactly what these look like applied through a photo because they are just shimmer overload, and that needs movement and light hitting at different angles to really be seen. On the lids, it looks almost wet, like you applied vaseline or gloss over eyeshadow. This sparkle is very, very different than the chunky glitter Urban Decay has in some of their eyeshadows (that I have found is prone to fallout). Its suuuuuper fine, doesn't get all over when applying, and there's a TON of it.. so it isn't just random sparkles, its shimmery, sparkly, glossy looking.. almost like water when the sun hits it :)
Available for $20 from Urban Decay.

omg, atmosphere is amazing!!!
Ohhh, I've had a major love for Atmosphere for ages now. I tried it at Sephora and fell in love, it's got such an interesting sparkle to it. The color is insanely gorgeous too…
I wasn't really into the neutrals, but I love atmosphere!
These definitely remind me of the Stila Jewel palette. That certain type of smooth glitter. I just love it! It looks beautiful over shadows! I have a trick if you happen to get some fallout from these. What I do is, after I apply my eyeshadow, I just dab a little Pixie Epoxy on top. (It's by "Fyrinnae", and its basically just a glitter base). Then just dab the Stardust on top of that and.. voila! No fallout AT ALL. Its amazing stuff! Also works well for foiling pigments too! :)
These are 20$ a piece? About how much do you get in the container? I love love love Atmosphere. But really don't know about paying 20$ for one eyeshadow. =/
Beautiful colors; I like the purple one :P
I'm temped to buy griffith just because thats my surname!!

The nursing team are specialists in the nursing care of complex colorectal problems and have thus developed a unique partnership with patients. Members of the nursing teams follow the progress of patients from their first contact as outpatients through their investigations, surgical intervention and medical treatment, with emphasis on the patient's psycho-social needs.

Posts Tagged 'termination'
A refusal to accomodate pregnancy required lifting restrictions or termination in response to pregnancy complications, may be the basis for a discrimination claim under state laws and the Federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act.
An African-American pregnant nurse has filed a lawsuit against her employer claiming she lost her job after provided her employer with a doctor's note stating that she could not lift more than 50 pounds.
Claiming violations of her civil rights and violation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Jackie Lewis filed suit against Senior Living Properties, doing business as Overton Healthcare Center, on Oct. 25 in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.
Lewis was employed by Overton Healthcare Center in Overton since September 2004 as a certified nursing assistant.
On Aug. 15, she informed her employer of her pregnancy, according to the lawsuit. Lewis states she had been to the hospital that day and could not report for work. She also missed work on Sept. 1 due to complications of her pregnancy, but claims she submitted the proper excuse from her doctor.
Ten days later, she was reassigned to a position which would require lifting on her part.
As a result, she submitted a note from her doctor limiting her lifting to no more than 50 pounds. The next day, Lewis' employment was terminated, according to the lawsuit.
The plaintiff is seeking damages for lost wages, insurance benefits, emotional pain and suffering, inconvenience, mental pain and anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, punitive damages, emotional distress, embarrassment, disappointment, indignation, shame, despair,
If you believe you have been the subject of pregnancy discrimination, file a charge with the EEOC or go to an employment law attorney that handles these types of matters such as Scott Behren and the Behren Law Firm.
Many of you man know that if you your employer has at least 50 employees and you have been a full time employee of the employer for 12 months that you may be entitled to Family Medical Leave Act leave in the event of your serious health condition or that of one of your relatives. A new Federal Court opinion has indicated that an employee may not only take that FMLA leave, but should not be pestered about when they will return to work.
A U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas opinion dismissed Howard Memorial Hospital's motion for summary judgment and concluded that a jury should be presented with the Family and Medical Leave Act interference claim made by a hospital employee who said she felt pressured to return to work during her medical leave.
In the case, Regina Terwilliger, a former Howard Memorial Hospital housekeeper, claims that her supervisor contacted her on a weekly basis to ask when she would return to work after undergoing back surgery. One pivotal phone conversation revolved around Terwilliger's work status, with the housekeeper asking if she was at risk of losing her job while she was at home recovering. During that conversation, Terwilliger's supervisor responded to her questions by saying that she should return to work "as soon as possible." Terwilliger decided to cut her medical leave short and returned to work a week early. A few weeks after returning to work, the hospital fired Terwilliger, alleging she stole from another hospital employee. Terwilliger says she was fired for taking FMLA leave and asserts that the hospital deprived her of the act's full benefits by pressuring her to return to work early.
"Interference includes discouraging an employee from using FMLA leave," the district court wrote.
If you have questions about your rights under the Family Medical Leave Act or FMLA, call Scott Behren and the Behren Law Firm.
An Orlando woman has teamed up with high-powered attorney Gloria Allred to sue her former employer for gender discrimination and retaliation, after she said she was sexually harassed by managers who commented on her breasts.
Amy-Erin Blakely filed the lawsuit in an Orange County, Florida court on Wednesday and said the harassment at The Devereux Foundation went on for about five years. Blakely managed 900 employees at the nonprofit behavioral health organization that also provides foster and adoptive assistance. Blakely says she worked for the organization in Orlando until she was fired last year after she accused managers of sexual harassment.
"It was very humiliating to know that senior members of our management team would focus on my breasts as opposed to my performance on the job," said Blakely at a Los Angeles press conference Wednesday.
"She also alleges that someone in management talked about how large her breasts were and that she needed to 'hide them,'" Allred told the station.
Blakely said she always dressed professionally, was an exemplary worker and had never before been reprimanded. In fact, she said she was promoted and given raises eight times in 13 years. The 43-year-old had risen to the position of Assistant Executive Director, but claims she couldn't advance any further because her managers said she was "too sensual."
As many readers of my blog are well aware, sexual harassment in the workplace is prohibited by Florida and Federal law. In addition, if you complain to your employer about sexual harassment in your workplace and are retaliated against or fired, that is simillarly a violation of Federal and Florida law.
If you believe you have been the victim of sexual harassment or retaliation in the workplace, feel free to contact the Behren Law Firm or another attorney experienced in employment law matters.

text: By: Eric Snider in BAYPOP – I was going to write this yesterday but I was too tired. After monkeying around at Tree-Umph! in Bradenton for nearly three hours, then driving home to the 'burg and arriving around 4:30 … like I said, too pooped to blog. Florida has a lot of attractions and it seems that most of them feature plastic made to look like rocks. That is not Tree-Umph. Southwest Florida's first treetop adventure course opens to the public today. With five progressively difficult courses, and a children's course for age 7 and up, Tree-Umph's 76 total obstacles can provide the full-on, daredevil, muscle-work experience, or something requiring a bit less strength and stamina. And the circuit has plenty of zip-lines, which demand very little effort at all, but do ask for a leap of faith, at least at first. I did Tree-Umph yesterday with my friend Cliff Fischer, 46, who recently retired from the Air Force as a Chief Master Sergeant. He is a man in good physical condition. I am somewhat older—I get senior rates at the movies—and am in pretty fair condition myself. I'm an athlete—basketball, mostly—but not an outdoorsman. I don't fish. I don't hunt. I don't dive. I don't hike. And I don't climb. So for me Tree-Umph was a brand new thing. Man, it was fun. And definitely a challenge. The friendly guides walked us through the basics: putting on the harness, handling the carabiners (basically clips that keep you constantly tethered to cables and hooks). We did a whole lot of carabining. It's safety first at Tree-Umph, so wherever you are in the trees, or on a ladder, you're required to be attached. After a brief run-through on the small training course, we were off to the trees. We started out on the easy stuff, but even then I had to traverse the obstacles deliberately. I was feeling pretty pleased with myself when I looked over at one of the guides who was practically running across a wobbly set of boards from tree to tree. Humbled, I forged on. For the zip-line rides, you attach a roller-type device to a cable, then position the carabiners on the device, grab some gathered rope, sit low in the harness, push off and go go go. Zip-line is the perfect name—for the entire ride, your ears ring with a sharp zzzzzzeeeeeeee. Only once did I fully lose my purchase. There's a modified skateboard that scoots from tree to tree. I screwed up my footwork and ended up dangling by my harness and cord, sliding back to the middle of the obstacle. A guide pulled me back to the start, where I gathered myself and successfully breezed across. (Speaking of breezes, there are some really nice ones up in those trees.) In a latter phase of the course, I was posed a choice—easier or harder. Harder took you higher and across some military-style rope lattice, and a few other obstacles that looked demanding. By now my hands were raw, my forearms were especially fatigued and so, basically, was the rest of me. Easy was an easy decision for me. Cliff opted for hard (in the picture at the top of the post), and finished, although he admitted that the phase was real tough. Tree-Umph's grand finale is a 650-foot zip-line run, starting at about 60 feet up. (One result of doing Tree-Umph was finding out that I essentially have no fear of heights.) It provided one final ignominy. As the ride progressed, I twisted and turned backward; facing a pretty strong headwind, I puttered to a stop about 50 feet from the end. I had to flatten out and hand-over-hand my way to the platform. Cliff went last. He got low, his feet forward, keeping himself aerodynamic. It looked for a few seconds as if he, too, might stall. But here he came, slowing down, depositing himself on the platform as gently as a baby in a crib. I greeted him with a smile and a man-friendly remark that starts with F and ends with U.

Chattahoochee user's guide published
by Sarah Fay Campbell
By Sarah Fay Campbell email@example.com River enthusiast, photographer and occasional Coweta visitor Joe Cook has penned a user's guide to the Chattahoochee River, which lays out detailed information about the river, from its headwaters in north Georgia all the way to the dam at Lake Seminole where the Chattahoochee and the Flint leave to become the Apalachicola.
"Chattahoochee River User's Guide" breaks the river into 24 sections, and identifies access points, guides to paddling, and points of interest along each section. Points of interest include waterfalls, rapids, fish weirs, swimming holes, jumping rocks, dams, farms, parks, bridges and even sewer lines and water intakes. There is also information about changes over time, environmental challenges, and fascinating historical tidbits laid out in the "points of interest" for the various sections. There are also maps of each river section and color photographs.
Cook is executive director of the Coosa River Basin Initiative and is coordinator of the Georgia River Network's annual Paddle Georgia event, which this year traveled the Chattahoochee. The boaters from Paddle Georgia spent two nights camping at Newnan High School and participated in the Chattahoochee Bend River Fest event held in downtown Newnan.
Cook is the brother of local artist Sherry Cook, and is a renowned nature photographer who is also co-author of "River Song: A Journey down the Chattahoochee and Apalachicola Rivers."
Cook includes a particularly interesting historical tidbit for the "Whitesburg" section between Capps Ferry Road in Chattahoochee Hills and the Georgia Hwy. 16 bridge.
In 1864, Union cavalry were sent to scout potential river crossings. When they arrived at Moore's Bridge, built in 1858, they surprised a group of Confederate soldiers who were skinny dipping in the river. Some of the Confederate soldiers escaped, naked and barefoot, and rode into Newnan to warn locals that the "Yankees were coming," according to Cook's account.
An artillery skirmish followed and the Union soldiers set fire to the bridge, which was located just upriver of the current Hwy. 16 Bridge. The bridge, constructed by famous bridge builder and former slave Horace King, was rebuilt in 1867. Carroll County recently opened Moore's Bridge Park on the Carroll County side of the river.
"Chattahoochee River User's Guide" is a Georgia River Network Guidebook, published in cooperation with Chattahoochee Riverkeeper. It's published by the University of Georgia Press and is available on Amazon and in bookstores.

Lake Sammamish earns federal designation
September 17, 2013
Lake Sammamish is one of only two places in the nation to earn a new federal designation. While the details of the program are unclear, it seems to mean that local officials will get some federal help in explaining the importance of the lake and its ecosystem.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has placed Lake Sammamish, and Masonville Cove in Baltimore, in its Urban Partnership Program, according to Denise Hawkins, of fish and wildlife.
The idea for the program came from the group that designates wildlife refuges. Typically, that means designating huge tracts of land as a refuge in order to protect wildlife habitat, Hawkins said. These typically end up in more rural areas, so in order to allow more people to be able to visit an area and learn about it, they decided to work in more populous settings.
Squak Mountain logging plan concerns neighbors
February 12, 2013
Proposal could lead to clear cut timber operation
High on Squak Mountain, pink plastic strips tied to trees mark 216 acres of forest as a timber harvest area.
Downhill, 15-year resident Helen Farrington is concerned about how a plan to clear cut the forest above could impact a fork of May Creek.
In September, after a long permitting process and almost $100,000 out of pocket, the Farringtons replaced a crumbling culvert with a passage easier for fish to cross.
Squak Mountain timber plan concerns conservationists, neighbors
February 8, 2013
NEW — 12:05 p.m. Feb. 8, 2013
High on Squak Mountain, pink plastic strips tied to trees mark 216 acres of forest as a timber harvest area.
Since a timber company purchased the forest and started the process to permit logging on the site, conservationists and nearby residents mobilized to fight the proposal to clear cut the land. The logging opponents said cutting trees on the land could lead to more flooding downhill, damage sensitive fish and wildlife habitat, and add a timber harvest site near conservation lands.
The proposal from Eatonville-based Erickson Logging to harvest timber on 216 acres on the mountainside above Renton-Issaquah Road Southeast galvanized residents on Squak Mountain and near May Creek, a destination for runoff from the mountain.
County seeks proposals for youth sports facilities
February 7, 2013
NEW — 8 a.m. Feb. 7, 2013
Local youth sports organizations can apply for King County grants to build or upgrade recreation facilities.
The county Youth Sports Facilities Grants Program provides matching grant funds from $5,000 to $75,000. Past grant recipients include playgrounds and athletic fields, including the Issaquah Little League's Dodd Fields near Issaquah Valley Elementary School.
Other local grant recipients in the Issaquah area include city-run Central Park in the Issaquah Highlands and county-run Duthie Hill Park in Sammamish.
Overall, officials awarded $12 million through the program in the past 20 years.
Explore outdoors in King County Parks Fitness Challenge
February 6, 2013
NEW — 6 p.m. Feb. 6, 2013
Parkgoers can participate in challenges, enjoy the outdoors and burn some calories as King County Parks rolls out a fitness program at Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park and other sites.
Countywide, organizers designed 30 challenge locations countywide for the King County Parks Fitness Challenge.
The challenge — initially created through a partnership with Group Health's Fitness Network for county employees — is available to the public.
"The public can also enjoy the parks fitness challenge as a great way to exercise while enjoying some of the 26,000 acres of parks, 175 miles of regional trails and 180 miles of backcountry trails that we proudly maintain," King County Parks Director Kevin Brown said in a statement.
Department of Ecology fines King County for trail work violation
December 18, 2012
State regulators fined King County $1,500 after workers failed to follow rules to stop sediment discharges into a municipal storm drain during construction on the East Lake Sammamish Trail.
The state Department of Ecology said crews from the county Facilities Management Division repeatedly did not install the proper controls outlined under the storm water permit to prevent sediment discharges.
The agency issued the fine July 20, but did not announce the penalty until Nov. 27, as the Department of Ecology detailed all fines issued statewide between July and September. Officials typically do not issue individual media releases unless a penalty reaches $10,000 or more.
Parks task force recommends 2013 property tax measure
December 10, 2012
NEW — 8 a.m. Dec. 10, 2012
King County voters could decide next year on dollars to complete the East Lake Sammamish Trail, add a Cougar Mountain trailhead in Issaquah, and continue funding parks and trails countywide.
Late last month, King County Parks Levy Task Force members unanimously recommended continuing a pair of six-year levies to support county-run parks, trails and open space. Voters overwhelmingly approved the most recent pair of park levies in 2007.
The voter-approved levies fund the bulk of park operations, but the property tax measures expire in December 2013. In June, King County Executive Constantine convened the task force to explore options future funding.
More kokanee return as community works to restore species
December 4, 2012
Homeowner funds $175,000 culvert project
Lake Sammamish kokanee salmon — a landlocked cousin of sockeye and a species noted for distinctive red coloration — dwindled in recent decades, since before Wally Pereyra moved into a house along Ebright Creek in 1973.
Dump post-feast grease to protect pipes from damage
November 22, 2012
NEW — 6 a.m. Nov. 22, 2012
Thanksgiving grease is notorious for causing slippery situations in local sewer systems.
Grease can cause the same problems in municipal sewer systems as in human arteries. The goop sticks to the inside of sewer pipes, leads to blockages and, maybe, expensive cleanups.
So, the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks joined Seattle-based General Biodiesel to offer residents with a safe way to toss cooking oil and grease. The material is then recycled, and does not end up in drains or landfills.
Officials recommend putting cooled cooking fats and grease into a sealed container for transport to the drop-off locations. Then, slowly pour the grease into the collection container to avoid splatters. Close the community lid tank and take containers home.
King County launches geocaching at parks
October 16, 2012
King County Parks launched a GPS-driven treasure hunt Oct. 6 to recognize land protected in the past 30 years.
Participants can join the King County Conservation Futures GeoTour. The treasure hunt to 20 King County Parks cache sites is designed to raise awareness about the 111,000 acres of land the Conservation Futures Program has preserved in the past 30 years.
The initial 190 people to fill a GeoTour Passport with 20 unique stamps found in cache boxes earn a commemorative coin.
Learn more about the King County Conservation Futures GeoTour at http://1.usa.gov/Q1Nvwm.
The first parkland purchased using Conservation Futures Program dollars consisted of 1,400 acres on Cougar Mountain.

Bangladesh: prelate fears 'militant and radical Islamism' as Christians beaten, bomb hits church
Catholic World News - January 09, 2014
Amid national unrest, Bangladesh's leading prelate said that he fears the rise of "militant and radical Islamism."
The nation's leading opposition party and its allied Islamist parties boycotted recent elections. In one district, Catholics were attacked by Islamic zealots when they defied the boycott to cast their ballots.
"The social and political situation remains tense," said Archbishop Patrick D'Rozario of Dhaka. "As Christians, we did not experience any particular problem, but a bomb hit a church in Dhaka, causing little damage and no casualties."
"The danger of militant and radical Islamism -- raised by observers -- is real," he added. "In recent months, radical Islamic organizations have raised their voice: we will see how the situation evolves."
After the archbishop released his statement, the AsiaNews service reported that 8 Catholics were injured, and 3 hospitalized, after they were beaten by Islamic fundamentalists for participating in the elections. Christian homes were torched during the attack, and the Islamic militants vowed that they would return and destroy the remaining homes. Among those hospitalized after the violence in the Jamalpur district was Sonendra Kubi, the older brother of Bishop Paul Ponen Kubi of Mymensigh. The bishop's brother is reported in serious condition.
The south Asian nation of 164 million is nearly 90% Muslim and nearly 10% Hindu; 0.2% of the population is Catholic.

"The danger of militant and radical Islam....?" This implies there is some other kind. It should be obvious to all by now that, were violence not central to Mohammedanism and its so-called "holy book", a nation 90% Muslim like Bangladesh wouldn't tolerate the rise in its midst of thugs and murderers; "extremists" cannot succeed without popular support. My bet -- hardly a risky one -- is that the murderers and thugs will prevail here just as they eventually do in every Muslim-dominated country.

How do artists reveal their culture's (and their own) hidden or unheard voices? How does an awareness of these voices change our views about ourselves?
Everyone searches for and finds his or her own identity through a wide variety of experiences and expressions. Gathering multiple stories, or voices, about a person and his or her historical period can help make that identity easier to understand. In this activity you will learn how an awareness of these voices can change your own view of history.

Summer Bridge Testimonials
Summer Bridge Academy Students' Testimonials
"When I arrived here at college I didn't know what to do, everything was new to me, I needed guidance to help me make good decisions during my years here. What EOP offered me was more than just the guidance, it was making friends and learning to learn and be a better student. Through the help of the EOP program I attended workshops that made me think more about the choices I make, I'll never forget the feeling I had when I left that workshop and it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't required by EOP for me to attend. EOP made me a better student and I'm not confused anymore. I have the tools and help I need to succeed in college and I couldn't be more thankful for that."
"As a student at California State University Sacramento, I had the opportunity to become a member of the Educational Opportunity program Eop. I was very excited and honored to have had the eligibility to have participated in the Summer Bridge Academy in the summer. It was a wonderful, unforgettable experience that helped me meet new friends. I enjoyed the playing fun group games with my friends. I also learned how to become more independent and learned a lot of skills in how to succeed my dreams of a college degree."
"Coming into the Summer Bridge Academy, I didn't know what to expect. I was worried that I'd be isolated from social groups and that the stress of college would get to me, but I was surprised at how friendly and supportive everyone was of one another. We were all strangers in the same situation. Within the first day I met people I thought I'd never speak to and maybe became too close of friends with people I knew little about. I can't say SB was easy because that'd be a lie, but I can say it was worth it. I don't regret the summer I gave up, or the friends I've made, or the experience I've gained."

Letter: Buyer beware when that special purchase is online
Donna Lee, Vero Beach
Letter: Buyer beware when that special purchase is online
Be careful when buying online for Christmas. I recently purchased what I thought was a Coach bag from the online Coach Outlet Store. Everything about the site seemed to be legitimate. The sales price was $75.
When I placed the purchase the first time, the site advised my billing info had not gone through. So, as advised, I re-entered it.
I received a bogus bag, from Shanghai, China — smells terrible, is vinyl not leather, is hideous and has absolutely no paperwork with it as to where to return it or where it came from.
I have advised the Coach corporate offices, but apparently there is nothing they can do. It was not a "sanctioned" site, although they knew about it.
To add insult to injury, now I don't know if I was charged twice for this bogus bag, as I cannot track anything.
Please, be careful; buy from the store itself, even if it is inconvenient to physically go there. I am sure there are many more bogus sites like this one out there. Meanwhile, anyone want to buy a fake Coach bag for $75?
