Los Angleles Justice for Janitors campaign for economic justice at Century City, 1989-1990
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) formed the Local 399 shortly after World War II. The Local 399 was a labor union for janitors which had reached its peak in the 1970s, but was struggling in the 1980s. During this time, the Local 399 fought for higher wages for its members, which motivated cleaning contractors to invest in nonunion options. The cleaning industry was extremely competitive at the time and as a result of this emphasis on nonunion cleaners, membership in the Local 399 had fallen from approximately 5,000 members to only 1,800.
Many African Americans worked as janitors, and the majority of the Local 399 was African American. In the 1980s, Latino immigrants began to supply the labor to the janitorial workforce because they were willing to work for nonunion contractors for lower wages and worse conditions. The Local 399 traditionally had good representation of the African American janitors in the workforce; however they were now disconnected from the Latino community that made up the new workforce.
Although the Local 399 was struggling during the 1980s, SEIU was growing. The SEIU increased its national staff from twenty to more than two hundred between 1984 and 1989. The SEIU emphasized training and a militant approach for changes, devising a campaign called Justice for Janitors in Denver, Colorado.
Justice for Janitors arrived in Southern California in 1988. Justice for Janitors represented the small union base that remained in California, but also organized the nonunion buildings. Justice for Janitors' plan involved targeting companies that illegally utilized both union and nonunion operations, hoping to take the labor costs out of competition. The first company that was targeted was Century Cleaning, a small local company with union and nonunion components. The campaigners started their effort by contacting workers, making house calls, signing cards, and identifying leaders.
Justice for Janitors also tried to achieve change through protests that were visible to the public. For example, Justice for Janitors performed street theater at a restaurant that the owner of Century Cleaning frequented. Justice for Janitors also took a group of workers to the golf club where the owner was a member, starting chants and screaming in protest. As a result of such practices, more of Century's contracts went to union firms. There was additional progress when Justice for Janitors targeted American Building Maintenance. By 1989, Local 399 had negotiated a master agreement with the firm.
In the summer of 1989, the Justice for Janitors campaign shifted to Century City, a large office complex employing 400 janitors, of whom 250 were employed by a single cleaning contractor, International Service Systems (ISS). In order to pressure ISS, Justice for Janitors used similar in-your-face tactics as before, creating complaints from tenants of the offices and pressuring ISS to negotiate.
Despite this pressure, by spring 1990 the union concluded that there was no other option except to strike against ISS. The strike began on May 29, 1990. During the strike, there were daily actions such as chants and drum-banging while storming through the offices of Century City.
On June 15, 1990, striking janitors were holding a peaceful demonstration in Century City. During this particular demonstration, the Los Angeles police brutally attacked the demonstrators, which resulted in several serious injuries including the injury of a pregnant demonstrator which resulted in a miscarriage. This brutal attack by the LAPD was in full view of the media, and as a result was recorded on camera.
The brutal violence used by the police force only inspired the protesters. They continued to fight for economic justice and higher wages. Furthermore, the violent suppression by the Los Angeles Police Department against the demonstrators resulted in widespread outrage against the LAPD. Following the attacks Gus Benova, the President of New York's SEIU Local 32B-32J, pressured the president of ISS to recognize the LA union. Following this, ISS moved to sign a union contract, with a wage increase of $2 per hour and full family health coverage.

The title of Brent Nongbri's sharp and learned new book, Before Religion: A History of a Modern Concept, sounds like a paradox. Isn't religion one of those basic features of human culture, like language, that have always existed? Ancient Greeks had their temples to Athena; before them, the Babylonians had Anu and Marduk; before them, the ancient Egyptians worshipped Ra and Osiris. In the same way, religion seems to exist everyplace on the globe, one phenomenon in many different forms. According to what Nongbri calls our conventional, "World Religions" model of thinking, the globe is like a map divided neatly into sections where different religions predominate: Islam here, Hinduism there. Wherever we turn, religion seems already there to meet us.
Nongbri's argument is that we see religion everywhere because religion is what we expect to see. The universality of religion is an illusion, caused by our way of thinking and talking about what are, in reality, vastly different spiritual mind-sets and practices. "Because of the pervasive use of the word 'religion' in the cultures of the modern Western world, we already intuitively know what 'religion' is before we even try to define it," he writes. Specifically, "religion is anything that sufficiently resembles modern Protestant Christianity." Scholars and historians operating in the Western tradition unconsciously take that tradition — with its emphasis on inward spiritual experience and a canon of sacred texts — as a paradigm.
Before Religion hopscotches across centuries and continents, giving case studies of the ways very different spiritual traditions have been shoehorned into the Protestant model. Before the Renaissance, Nongbri shows, Europeans had no concept of the world as divided among different, equivalent religions. Early Christians trying to make sense of Islam categorized it, instead, as a Christian heresy; they could not imagine a rival to Christianity, only a deformation of it. Likewise, ancient Greek and Roman gods were not thought of as comprising a religious system. They were held to be devils and demons, which maliciously led people astray from the worship of the one true God.
This kind of parochialism was shattered, Nongbri writes, by the Reformation, which led to internal divisions within Christianity, and by the Age of Exploration, which brought Christians face to face with radically different conceptions of God. At first, Europeans in South America continued to think of native deities as Christian devils. When Pizarro despoiled the temple of the Incan god Pachacamac, according to a sixteenth-century chronicler, "the Christians explained to the Indians the great error in which they had been enveloped, and that he who was talking in that idol was the devil." Only gradually did Europeans come to conceive of non-Christian beliefs, including those of ancient Greece, as comprising religions with an integrity of their own.
Once this happened, however, the pressure was great to assign every culture a "religion," even when this meant distorting actual religious practice. Shintoism, for instance, was more or less invented by the Meiji emperors at the time of Japan's opening to the West, as a way of giving Japan a suitable national religion. It was, Nongbri writes, "a clear example of the creation of a religion specifically to fit the model of World Religions." Likewise, the spiritual tradition of India was not known as "Hinduism" until the late eighteenth century, and for a long time after that the word "Hindu" could refer to either religion or ethnicity.
In the end, Nongbri argues that while it may be impossible to avoid projecting our own assumptions about religion onto foreign cultures and ages, we should do so self-consciously rather than blindly. "If we want to go on talking about ancient Mesopotamian religion, ancient Greek religion, or any other ancient religion, we should always bear in mind that we are talking about something modern when we do so. We are not naming something any ancient person would recognize," he writes. In addition to being an absorbing historical polemic, Before Religion is a fine example of the kind of curiosity and skepticism it advocates.
London in the eighteenth century was the greatest city in Europe, where extremes of sophistication and squalor could be found side by side. In A Great and Monstrous Thing — the title comes from Daniel Defoe's description of the capital — Jerry White offers a compendious history of London in this period, covering every level of society from courtiers to thieves.
Despite his campaign promise to close the detention center at Guantánamo Bay, President Obama's administration continues to prosecute suspected terrorists held there, outside the usual process of American law. In The Terror Courts: Rough Justice at Guantánamo Bay, Jess Bravin shows in detail how the prosecution of Guantánamo inmates has conflicted with the American justice system.
In One Woman in a Hundred: Edna Phillips and the Philadelphia Orchestra, Mary Sue Welsh writes the biography of Phillips, a once-celebrated harpist, whose career in mid-twentieth-century American music introduced her to everyone from Stokowski to Walt Disney.

Need some cucumber inspiration? Try Japanese Cucumber Salad (Sunomono) 4 ways! Marinated in vinegar, sugar, salt, and soy sauce, this sweet & sour cucumber salad makes a perfect side dish. It's light, healthy, and incredibly refreshing!
When cucumbers are at their peak in gardens and markets, we often find a few lingering around at the kitchen counter. If you are in need of some cucumber inspiration today, I hope you try this refreshing Japanese Cucumber Salad called Sunomono (酢の物). This is one of the most popular appetizers at the dinner tables in Japan, and it's simple and very easy to prepare in a short time.
What is Sunomono?
Sunomono refers to vinegar-based dishes, and they are commonly served as a side dish to the main meal. "Su (酢)" means vinegar in Japanese. These light refreshing vinegar salads are a great start to any meal as the sourness from the vinegar helps whet your appetite.
When we mention "Sunomono (酢の物)", it typically refers to Japanese cucumber salad. During the heat of summer and our bodies naturally gravitate towards 'cooling' food, this cucumber salad makes a wonderful seasonal side dish especially for grilled fish or meat. Besides the fact that it's so easy to whip up, the salad is tangy, crunchy and its health benefits are good enough reasons to enjoy on a weekly basis.
Watch How to Make Japanese Cucumber Salad (Sunomono)
Need some cucumber inspiration? Try Sunomono or Japanese Cucumber Salad 4 ways! Marinated in vinegar, sugar, salt and soy sauce, this sweet & sour cucumber salad makes a perfect side dish.
Variations for Japanese Cucumber Salad (Sunomono)
We have a large variety of appetizers using vinegar and cucumber. Here are some examples:
- Tako Su (Octopus Salad)
- Japanese Cucumber Salad with Crab
- Spiralized Cucumber Salad with Sesame Dressing
Today I'm making 4 variations with this recipe.
- Classic (cucumber and wakame seaweed)
- Cucumber salad with crab (I am allergic to crab, so I use imitation crab meat)
- Cucumber salad with boiled octopus (you can get "octopus sashimi" in the Japanese grocery store)
- Cucumber salad with boiled salted baby anchovies
3 Tips to Make Delicious Japanese Cucumber Salad
1. Pick the right kind of cucumber
There are a lot of different kinds of cucumbers out there, but I like using Japanese cucumbers for their crunchiness and seedless texture. If you couldn't find Japanese cucumber, you can use English or Persian cucumbers, but I don't recommend regular (American) cucumbers as they have big seeds, higher moisture content, and thick skin.
2. Salt the cucumber
For this salad recipe, salting the cucumber is an important step. It helps to remove excess liquid from the cucumber, which in turn yields a great crunch for the salad.
3. Add layers to cucumber salad
I often add in wakame seaweed to cucumber salad for another layer of texture and for its beneficial nutrients. To top it off, you can garnish with toasted sesame seeds to give the salad extra fragrance and crunch. Of course, you're always welcome to toss in other ingredients to the classic sunomono recipe, for additional color, nutrients, and textures.
Dressed in nothing more but a simple combination of rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and soy sauce, the flavor of Sunomono is the perfect balance of sweet and sour.
Hope you enjoy making all four variations! If you want to check out other Japanese side dish recipes, read 15 Easy Japanese Side Dish Recipes.

Need some cucumber inspiration? Try Japanese Cucumber Salad (Sunomono) in 4 ways! Marinated in vinegar, sugar, salt, and soy sauce, this sweet & sour cucumber salad makes a perfect side dish. It's light, healthy, and incredibly refreshing!
- 2 Persian/Japanese cucumbers
- ½ tsp kosher/sea salt (I use Diamond Crystal; Use half for table salt)
- 1 Tbsp dried wakame seaweed (2 g) (it will be 20-30 g after rehydrated)
- ½ Tbsp toasted white sesame seeds
- 4 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp kosher/sea salt (I use Diamond Crystal; Use half for table salt)
- ½ tsp soy sauce (Use GF soy sauce for GF)
- 4 pieces imitation crab meat (kanikama) (or real crab meat) (skip for Vegetarian/Vegan)
- 2 oz boiled octopus (60 g) (skip for Vegetarian/Vegan)
- 2 Tbsp shirasu (boiled salted baby anchovies) (12 g) (skip for Vegetarian/Vegan)
- Gather all the ingredients.
In a bowl, combine 4 Tbsp rice vinegar, 2 Tbsp granulated sugar, ½ tsp kosher salt, and ½ tsp soy sauce. Whisk well together. If the vinegar taste is too strong, you can dilute with a very small amount of dashi (or water).
- Soak 1 Tbsp dried wakame seaweed in water and let it rehydrate for 10 minutes.
- Peel the cucumbers' skin alternately to create stripes. Then slice them thinly into rounds.
Sprinkle ½ tsp kosher salt and gently rub them against each other. Set aside for 5 minutes. Salt helps drawing liquid from cucumber (so that the liquid from cucumber will not be released after mixing with seasoning).
Squeeze water out from wakame seaweed and cucumber. Add them into the bowl with seasoning and coat well.
Serve in an individual bowls or a large serving bowl. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and it's ready to serve. Enjoy!
Cut 4 sticks of imitation crab into thirds and combine with cucumber and wakame seaweed mixture (from Step 4).
Slice the octopus thinly and combine with cucumber and wakame seaweed mixture (from Step 4).
Combine shirasu with cucumber and wakame seaweed mixture (from Step 4).
Serve in an individual bowls or a large serving bowl. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and it's ready to serve. Enjoy! To store, keep in the airtight container and consume within 3-5 days (depending on other ingredients).

Thanks to Sharon Denney from funny girls of fertility for the guest post. It means a lot to me and the other people that are dealing with infertility. Check her website below for more details.
I had a lady email me the other day, and she said, "Not to criticize here, but are you dealing with infertility or do you just support it?" I honestly had never been asked that, so I was a little intimidated when I let her know that, here I am a fertility blogger, who has never actually dealt with infertility.
I started my mission after my brother and his wife had suffered through three failed IVF cycles. I felt like they never had answers to the obstacles they were facing. I felt as though their clinical staff didn't provide them with enough knowledge to get them through such a whirlwind time.
I was just starting up nursing school, kind of a lost soul myself, wondering where I was going to end up. Hearing about the self-administered injections, the constant appointments, and all the numbers that my brother and his wife were throwing at me, I was confused! I was confused and I was in nursing school (let me add at one of the top 3 nursing schools in the state of Texas) how could someone with no medical background understand all this crap!? Needless to say, after graduating I became an IVF nurse.
Before working in infertility, I didn't know how to empathize with such a difficult situation. When you are in the thick of infertility your mind tends to just stay there, and not be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I want to help those who can't see that light.
That's when FunnyGirlsofFertility.com started. It's terrifying to jump into and actively support a cause you have never personally dealt with. Not going to lie, I was REAL scared. I thought I was going to be eaten alive by internet trolls. I'm forever grateful that the infertility community took me in, and not once made me feel as though I don't belong.
Infertility is hard, y'all. Not only did I see my very closest family member deal with it, but I have seen a bajillion patients go through it. Some successful without too many failed attempts, some going through treatment for the last 10 years with no success.
My brother and sister-in-law ended up adopting the most perfect baby imaginable. The amount of joy she has brought to our family is ridiculous. Although they didn't have their own biological child, they dealt their infertility card the way they were supposed to.
I know when you are dealing with infertility you may think your family doesn't understand or really care about your uphill battle, but that's not the case. It's challenging to comprehend such an overwhelming topic, let alone a very personal one. Some family members and friends may just not know how to approach it! That's where I feel like I found my place in the infertility community. Kind of an accepted outsider?!
Through my few years of working in infertility, I know that it seems like a never-ending battle, but I have seen an immense amount of battles won. Don't give up!

I'd better leave now
It's gone too far I've hurt too deep
And I'm sure the wound will scar
And in the morning
All is not clear
I try to see through hazy eyes
All the thoughts I fear
What did I do?
What did I say?
I should have left you far away
The reason reason cannot be found
It hurts to think about times when I've been down
When I can think again
And I can see
The foolishness I hide in vain
Has not come clean
The seams have torn once more
I can't hold back I make a good excuse
To grip the feelings that I lack
If you could see yourself right now
What would you say?
And you want to preach a sermon
Every day,
You drink another drink see how you lie
It gives you courage and make you cry
The world I see reflects on me
Through my eyes my demise

Carolin Lopez, a Flight Centre consultant in the Brisbane Spring Hill store, grew up in southern Germany. While Carolin may be a little biased, she believes that Bavaria is one of the most beautiful regions in the world and is the principle state for many of the sights along the famed Romantic Road. This scenic route officially consists of around 16 small towns known for their cultural and historical significance.
Here are Carolin's Top 5 destinations on the Romantic Road.
A lot of people start their journey along the Romantic Road in Würzburg. This historic town is set on a spectacular outcrop overlooking the river the below. The surrounding area is one of Germany's biggest wine-producing areas and possesses a wealth of history.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Welcome to one of the prime examples of a walled medieval town; let Rothenburg take you back in time with its beautiful buildings, walls and alleys. Its charm will enchant you.
Augsburg is arguably the oldest town on the Romantic Road and can trace its history beyond the medieval times. It was founded before the Romans, who dubbed the region "Augusta Vindelicorum," when it flourished as a strategic town on a trade route from northern Italy.
Schwangau is a tiny, romantic German town but is not to be underestimated as it boasts one of the most popular "sights" in the whole of Germany - New Schwanstein, King Ludwig's fairytale castle which is definitely a MUST-SEE when doing this tour.
Being located at the very end of the Romantic Road (or the very beginning, depending of your point of start), Fuessen is an awesome choice for the "grand finale". You will find a wealth of historical interest settled in a spectacular surrounding; the city is situated on a lake (Forggensee), the River Lech flows through the heart of the town – and all is set against the beautiful and impressive backdrop of the Alps.

From Growls of Punk Rock to the Smooth Talk of Politics
By PATRICK WALL
Published: December 21, 2011
Santa had a few minutes to kill before a holiday party the other evening, so he pulled up his sleeves and showed off some of his tattoos: a dragon, a sailboat and, inked across the nape of his neck, the phrase ''Meat Is Murder.''
The man in red, played by Justin Brannan, was sitting in the Brooklyn office of his boss, City Councilman Vincent J. Gentile, whose district includes Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights. Mr. Brannan, 33, is the councilman's director of communications and legislative affairs.
He also happens to be a former Wall Street back-office worker and a founding member of two world-touring hardcore punk bands.
''We have legions of screaming fans in Croatia,'' Mr. Brannan said recently. ''Then I walk down Third Avenue, and no one knows who I am.''
Mr. Brannan was a sophomore at Xaverian High School, a Catholic boys' school in Bay Ridge, when he and some friends formed the hardcore band Indecision, with Mr. Brannan on chainsaw guitar. The group's raucous sound -- think feral growls and machine-gun rhythms -- and its radical politics soon elevated it from local bars to larger sites.
After Indecision dissolved, Mr. Brannan and others who had been in Indecision formed Most Precious Blood, which released three albums and toured six continents before going on indefinite hiatus in 2007.
Between tours, Mr. Brannan worked as a temporary employee for Wall Street investment banks and had a short-lived radio career, as an intern for ''The Howard Stern Show'' and as a traffic reporter for WNEW-FM.
In 2007, he landed a job at Bear Stearns, where he worked until the company was sold the next year.
After Bear Stearns, Mr. Brannan did consulting and fund-raising work for local nonprofit groups. His girlfriend, now fianc? opened an after-school art program for children in a storefront on Third Avenue, the kind of business that might have seemed out of place a decade or two ago in famously conservative Bay Ridge but is now part of the neighborhood's changing face. And through all his connections, Mr. Brannan grew more active in local politics.
Michael Esposito, an Indecision bandmate who now runs the Gold Coast Delicatessen, where Mr. Brannan was doing his Santa act, said that his old friend had grown from ''the king of prank phone calls'' into one of the neighborhood's movers.
In the spring, Mr. Brannan was hired as Mr. Gentile's press aide. Years ago, Mr. Brannan fretted about unruly mosh pits or the collapse of the financial system, but now he sweats over storm drains, senior centers and litter baskets.
He must also throw water on political flare-ups, like the news that the Campaign Finance Board fined Mr. Gentile nearly $27,000 for spending violations. (Mr. Brannan said that accounting errors were to blame.)
But Mr. Brannan's ambitions seem to extend beyond the councilman's office.
He is president of a newly formed political club, the Bay Ridge Democrats, which has already hosted some impressive guests, including the New York City comptroller, John C. Liu, and the public advocate, Bill de Blasio. Mr. Brannan's name has come up in conversations among some Democrats about possible candidates to challenge State Senator Martin J. Golden, a Republican.
For now, Mr. Brannan said, he has no plans to run for office, though he has not ruled out the possibility.
Any future campaigns would be complicated by Mr. Brannan's colorful past. Already, one conservative blog has called attention to a Most Precious Blood album, ''Our Lady of Annihilation,'' whose cover features an image of the Virgin Mary with explosives strapped to her body.
''That's something I'll probably have to pay a consultant millions of dollars to explain,'' Mr. Brannan said. He added that the image was meant to evoke ''the lunacy of killing in the name of religion.''
At the party at Gold Coast, sponsored by the Merchants of Third Avenue Association, the old thrasher let out a hearty ''Ho, ho, ho!'' Later, he addressed the crowd.
''I just want to say,'' said the punk-rock-politico Santa, ''that Bay Ridge is my favorite place on Earth.''

- Good sound.
- Small footprint.
- Controls are easy to access.
- Inexpensive.
- Main speakers fall over easily.
The Altec Lansing VS2321 is a 2.1 speaker set for your laptop or desktop PC. The set, which consists of two small satellites and a 5.25-inch subwoofer, provides good sound quality without taking up a lot of room on your desktop, and all the controls are very easy to access. The main speakers, however, are too easy to knock over and would have benefited from a bit more weight in the bottom. For $45.95 (direct), you really can't go wrong with these—if you need more power, you'll simply have to spend more.
Each satellite speaker is housed in black-and-gray plastic and is surprisingly lightweight, which is why they're so easy to knock over. They each measure 8.1 by 2.7 by 2.8 inches and contain a 2-inch full-range driver. The right speaker has a volume knob, an SFX button, an auxiliary input, and a headphone jack on its front, as well as a small blue LED that indicates power. To turn the speakers off, you just turn the volume knob counterclockwise until it clicks. The subwoofer measures 11.2 by 6.3 by 8.0 inches, houses a 5.25-inch driver, and has a knob on the front that adjusts its volume. The system is rated for a total of 28 watts: 6W per channel for the main speakers, and 16W for the subwoofer.
Setup couldn't be simpler. Just plug the subwoofer into an outlet, connect the right satellite's DIN connector to the subwoofer's rear, and connect the sea-green 3.5mm plug to any audio source's headphone output. You can use these speakers with a PC, laptop, portable CD player, MP3 player, and anything with a headphone output. I tried them with both a laptop and an iPod, and both worked just fine.
Their sound quality is good enough for most uses. The subwoofer really helps out with gaming and DVD movies, giving you a lot more boom and rumble than you'd get with just a 2.0 system. The highs and mids are very clear, and the bass is adjustable to suit your taste—I found the best setting to be with the subwoofer's volume knob turned up slightly past halfway, but this will vary depending on placement and what you're listening to.
The SFX button on the right speaker engages a wide-stereo option, which gives the impression of a wider stereo image. It's a fairly effective feature, though it tends to hollow out the sound slightly in the midrange. The speaker system provides a maximum output of 99 dB at 1 meter, which is definitely loud enough for dorm rooms, dens, and offices.
The VS2321 is a very affordable and good-sounding 2.1 speaker system for just about any audio source. It won't take up a lot of room on your desktop, either. (Altec Lansing also offers the VS2320, which does not include the subwoofer.) I just wish the main speakers didn't tip over so easily.

The UK is teaming up with over 30 other nations in a NATO cyber defence war game being held in Estonia this week to test the allies' ability to withstand a large-scale cyber attack targeting their information infrastructures.
The three-day Cyber Coalition 2013 exercise, which started on Tuesday 26th, involves more than 400 cyber security, legal and government experts from across the NATO alliance and partner countries in a test designed to improve their cyber defence skills. The exercise was conducted from the Estonian National Defence College training centre in Tartu.
The war game plays out a fictitious crisis in which all the participating nations have to ward off simulated cyber attacks. The exercise requires action and collaboration between the 100 participants in Tartu and over 300 others scattered across national capitals in 32 countries.
Those involved are from the 27 NATO member nations, as well as partners Finland, Sweden, Austria and Switzerland, together with representatives from NATO headquarters in Brussels and other NATO agencies across Europe. The European Union and New Zealand are also participating in an observer role.
Navy Lieutenant Roland Murof, a spokesman for the Estonian Defence Forces, told SCMagazineUK.com that Cyber Coalition 2013 is the largest exercise of its kind in terms of participating countries.
He said NATO has been running annual cyber defence exercises since 2008, when the only participants were NATO staff. "Since then it has become bigger and bigger and now 27 nations are on-board, and partners."
The exercise aims to check NATO and its partners' technical and operational responsibilities and review co-ordination and co-operation across the alliance.
Jamie Shea, deputy assistant secretary general for emerging security challenges at NATO headquarters, adds: "Cyber attacks are a daily reality and they are growing in sophistication and complexity. NATO has to keep pace with this evolving threat and Cyber Coalition 2013 will allow us to fully test our systems and procedures to effectively defend our networks - today and in the future."
As host nation, Estonia is providing the war game infrastructure, training facilities and logistics support.
The exercise is being run by the NATO HQ Cyber Defence Management Board. Other main bodies involved include NATO Computer Incident Response Capability, the NATO Communications and Information Agency and the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.

His comment came after the European Commission on Tuesday threatened to launch procedures against countries which do not accept any migrants by June, and in the wake of a non-binding resolution passed in the European Parliament on Thursday to speed up the process of resettling refugees.
A matter of security
Government spokesman Rafał Bochenek said that the migration question was a matter of security, which he added is non-negotiable.
He said that the migration strategy "legitimises people-smuggling by criminal organisations".
He added that most European Union countries have not accepted the numbers of migrants allocated to them under a European Commission decision, adding that only ten percent of the target had been met.
Beata Kempa, head of the prime minister's office, said that Poland has given PLN 119 million (EUR 28 million) in relief and has helped to rebuild homes and schools.
She added that sanctions against Poland would be better than a threat to security.
Polish President Andrzej Duda said the government would be willing to send aid where it is needed outside its borders to help "people affected by crisis to live in the most decent possible conditions".
But "when I hear about some forced relocation of people, forced movement of people to Poland, I say decidedly 'no', because this is a plain violation of human rights".
European agreement
In September 2015, EU leaders agreed that each country would accept a number of asylum seekers over two years to alleviate the pressure on Greece and Italy, which have seen the arrival of tens of thousands of asylum seekers from the Middle East.
EU leaders agreed to relocate a total of about 100,000 refugees of more than two million people who arrived in Europe since 2015.
However, only 14,000 migrants from refugee camps in countries along the Mediterranean coast have been relocated in the EU. According to the European Commission, only Austria, Poland and Hungary have not accepted any people from migrant camps in Italy and Greece, while Malta and Finland are the only countries to have fulfilled their obligations.
The commission on Tuesday threatened to launch procedures against those countries if they do not start resettling refugees by June.
The European Parliament on Thursday adopted a non-binding resolution, calling European Union member states to speed up the process of relocating refugees. (vb/pk)

(TOPEKA) – The Kansas Livestock Association (KLA) will help celebrate the state's 150th birthday by driving 30 trophy Longhorn steers through downtown Wichita as part of the Kansas Sunflower Parade. Hundreds of Kansans are expected to watch the majestic Longhorns being driven down Main Street during the October 8 event. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback will be horseback ahead of the herd.
Several KLA members, including President Elect Frank Harper of Sedgwick, will be among the outriders driving the Longhorns in the parade. KLA President Ken Grecian from Palco will follow the cattle in a trail-drive era wagon provided by Josh and Gwen Hoy with the Flying W Ranch at Cedar Point. Flying W also is providing several saddle horses for dignitaries, including Gov. Brownback, who are helping drive the cattle.
Chain Ranch of Woodward, OK, will supply the Longhorns for the KLA parade entry. These cattle have led large parades in Cheyenne, WY, and Greeley, CO. The Longhorns have been used to help promote events as far away as Detroit, MI, and have been part of at least one movie.
Longhorns symbolize the early years of a business that has contributed significantly to the Kansas economy since the Civil War. Ranchers, feeders and dairymen today are responsible for billions of dollars circulating through the state's economy.
"KLA's entry in the parade is meant to emphasize to citizens the commitment our industry has to animal care, environmental stewardship and sustainability," said Grecian, a rancher and farmer from Graham County.
Starting at 11:00 a.m. October 8, the Sunflower Parade is part of the daylong Kansas 150 Festival in Wichita. Activities will conclude with a "Home on the Range" concert highlighting the history of Kansas through video, song and poetry.
KLA is a trade organization representing ranchers, feeders, diversified farmers and dairymen on legislative, regulatory and industry issues at both the state and federal levels. The association's work is funded through voluntary dues dollars paid by members.

If you're a Missouri construction contractor, you need to be good at writing Missouri construction contracts.
Once installed on your Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista or XP computer, Construction Contract Writer will make it easy to draft enforceable Missouri contracts that fit your jobs precisely and avoid the penalties imposed by Missouri and federal law.
- On residential projects, omission of the right to repair notice forfeits protection provided by Missouri Revised Statutes Sections 436.350 to 436.365.
- On commercial jobs and larger residential projects, Missouri voids any provision in the contract which does not comply with Revised Statutes Sections 436.300 to 436.336. Failure to comply with the Retainage Act can result in an interest penalty of 1-1/2% per month plus attorney fees. Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 34.057 imposes similar requirements for public works subcontracts.
- Failure to get a signed consent statement on a residential home improvement job extinguishes the lien rights of subcontractors under Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 434.100.
- Failure to deliver the lien law notice jeopardizes lien rights. Fraudulent omission of the lien notice makes a contractor liable for a fine of up to $500 and six months in jail under Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 429.012.
- Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 434.100 voids any indemnity clause in a construction contract which would require indemnification of someone for their own negligence.
- Omission of the Sales Act notice required by Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 407.710 gives a property owner the right to cancel the contract at any time, even years after work is completed.
- Omission of federal truth in lending disclosures required by 15 United States Code Section 1638 makes the creditor liable for both the overcharge and the debtor's attorney fees.
- Omission of disclosures required by 12 Code of Federal Regulations Section 226.15 extends the right of rescission to three years (rather than three days).
- Omission of insulation disclosures required by 16 Code of Federal Regulation Section 460 can result in an $11,000 fine.
When a job goes bad, you better have an iron-clad contract. Consider what happens if you get into a dispute before collecting final payment. An attorney for the other side won't be impressed with your two-page "legal in all 50 states" contract. Most likely, you'll discover that the signed agreement is either partially or totally unenforceable under state law. Game over! You lose. You're not going to collect another dime on that job. Fortunately, there's a better way.
Just answer a series of questions -- like an interview -- to construct a legal contract for each project you take on. Construction Contact Writer explains in plain English what you need to know before answering an interview question. If you know the job and you know what the job requires, Construction Contract Writer will do the rest.
Whether you are writing commercial or residential construction contracts, you'll be able to anticipate where disputes could arise and settle them in the contract before they happen. Then include the warranty protection you intend, the payment schedule, and create subcontracts from the prime contract.
Resolve key issues in your favor with bias control.
Many contract clauses in Construction Contract Writer suggest a bias that favors either the owner, the contractor or the subcontractor. That allows you to shift burden or risk to a particular party. Want to draft a contract that protects the property owner? No problem. Need an aggressive contract that pushes the limits in your favor? That's easy. Of course, if you just want a balanced and fair contract, Construction Contract Writer will do that too.
Need legal help drafting a contract?
Construction Contract Writer even includes a feedback button to an attorney on the Craftsman Book Co. staff to help if you get stumped. This service is free, and you can expect a response within 24 hours.
When you're done, save the contract for future use or modification at a later date. Print contracts directly or export to MS Word or Adobe PDF for electronic delivery or archiving on disk.
Construction contract law changes. But don't worry -- update subscriptions are available. Your contracts have to change to stay in compliance. That's why Construction Contract Writer includes an 'Update' button. You'll be invited to click 'Update' when a change affects the contracts you're drafting. A connection to the Web is required.
Even experienced construction contract attorneys will find plenty of useful reference material in Construction Contract Writer.
Construction Contract Writer cites local court decisions and code sections relevant to key interview questions.

National Surveyors Week is over, but PSLS continues its ambitious campaign known as Reaching New Heights, which will reap benefits for surveyors, the public, and anyone using geospatial data with a vertical component for years to come.In an effort to improve the geoid and implement the next iteration of our vertical datum, PSLS is seeking volunteers to occupy First and Second Order Bench Marks with dual-frequency GPS receivers for 4.5 hours. This data will be submitted to OPUS and the solutions published so NGS can use them to refine the current geoid and to develop the upcoming vertical datum known as GRAV-D. PSLS is working to make the process as simple as possible to accommodate those familiar with OPUS and those that are not. If you are unfamiliar with GPS but want to help there is a need to recover bench marks even if they aren't going to be occupied during Surveyor's Week.

Was this a 3 squares a day and an hour of sunlight type of thing? Should FF have been checking arrest records instead of obits?
What was weird is there was ZERO indication you'd be taking a break. SO it def seemed like you dropped dead. With great power comes great responsibility. If you are a top poster and decide to take a break, say "Fuck you guys, I need a break." Let that be your last post.
Anyway, welcome back. Not much has gone on around here since you have been gone. Just a little election, some Hall of Fame stuff. Pretty quiet.
Pretty sure any email alerts go to my old AOL account. I really just logged off. I exchanged a few emails with Drew about the abysmal new Meat Loaf album. Other than that, been laying low. Good to be back.

Gassiness is to be expected when you're drinking beer. But depending on which kind of beer you prefer, you can control the amount of burping and bloating that comes with downing a cold one.
A new study by Vouchercloud, a mobile voucher app, and Stuart Farrimond, a food scientist, writer and teacher, revealed the 10 gassiest beers by determining which beer had the most carbon dioxide (CO2) per pint (16 ounces).
To test the gassiness of the beer, the researchers took 31 popular beers, stored them for 48 hours at the same temperature, and used a special gauge to measure the pressure in each can.
According to the findings, the study found that lagers contain more gas than ales and stouts. Out of the 31 beers studied, Budweiser was the gassiest brand with 2.7 pints of CO2, while Hobgoblin had the least amount of CO2 per pint with 1.74 pints. Interestingly enough, there's at least more than a pint of gas in each pint of beer studied.
"Further investigations would be needed to catalogue each beer's true gassiness," Farrimond said in a press release about the findings. "If this information were made available to consumers then they will be able to make more informed choices about beverage purchases. Shops could even use a 'traffic light' labelling system to offer warnings to consumers about particularly high gas content beers.'"
That would save us a lot from a lot of burping (and unpleasant smells). Check where your favorite beer landed on the list. The beer with the most CO2 is ranked #1:
1. Budweiser (2.71 pints of CO2 per pint)
2. Stella Artois and Coors Light (2.55 pints of CO2 per pint)
3. Corona Extra (2.48 pints of CO2 per pint)
4. Bud Light (2.46 pints of CO2 per pint)
5. John Smiths Bitter (2.44 pints of CO2 per pint)
6. Heineken (2.39 pints of CO2 per pint)
7. Pilsner Urquell (2.32 pints of CO2 per pint)
8. Fosters (2.3 pints of CO2 per pint)
9. Cobra Indian lager (2.27 pints of CO2 per pint)
10. Guinness Golden Ale (2.27 litres of CO2 per pint)

Father of 13-Year-Old Murder Victim 'Bet She Fought Like a Wildcat'
David Lovell made the remarks to Dr. Phil McGraw.
-- The father of a 13-year-old girl allegedly murdered by a Virginia Tech student said he "bet she fought like a wildcat," according to a new interview.
David Lovell, the father of Nicole Lovell, made the comments to Dr. Phil McGraw in an interview set to air Wednesday.
"I bet she fought like a wildcat," David Lovell said. "I mean she's my kid. I know she fought like a wildcat."
Virginia Tech student David Eisenhauer allegedly was "acquainted" with the victim and "used this relationship to his advantage to abduct the 13-year-old and then kill her," the Blacksburg Police Department said in a statement.
He was charged with murder and kidnapping.
His friend, Natalie Keepers, was charged as an accessory both before and after the fact as well as with improper disposal of a body.
Both were scheduled for preliminary hearings in March and had not entered pleas as of last week.

My loom was adopted by a group of girls.
Who left their shoes there when they went to try other looms.
I guess when we set out reach other weavers, we don't have an audience in mind - or maybe we do. We expect adults who are looking for an avenue of self expression. We never dreamed our audience would be pre-adolescent girls who applied huge pressure on their moms to get looms. One mom laughed when her daughter looked at her in all seriousness and said - do we have one of these at home?

Paint2Fix Frequently Asked Questions
I can't find the color of my car on your site.

Please remember to write your vehicle's brand, color code and color name in the description field of the form, we will try to find the color of your car and we will write to you as soon as possible.
Does Paint2Fix Touch up paint damage my car?
Paint2Fix Touch up paint doesn't damage your car, if you're going to retouch a previously painted area, we can't guarantee, because we don't know the quality of the painting workmanship, but you can experiment in a small area of this area.
Can I correct if I make a mistake?
With specially produced and patented Mixture Solution, you can remove the paint from the area you touched and start over.
When my order reaches me?
Production order is accepted as soon as your order is approved, it is delivered to the cargo company within two days at the latest. Delivery time is 2 to 4 business days according to your country.
Return & Refund
For returns, you must send the product back to us within 14 days of receipt. We pay back your money after the product reached us. In order to be able to make a refund, the paint and other auxiliary products in the product package must reach us completely and unused.
An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) code is the series of letters and or numbers that make up a formulation code. The code is then entered into the formulation computer that brings up the exact paint mix formulation for that specific vehicle.
Yes! The Paint2Fix® product works perfectly well at stone chips and small scratches and will also dramatically improve scuffs.
Whilst the product is very good it is not a absolute cure for all damage and it is important that you read the information below on its limitations. If you are at all unsure please contact us by email: [email protected] we will be happy to assist you.
It is important to completely wash and clean the area you are going to repair and remove any remaining polish or wax that could be present within the damaged area. You can remove wax/polish by using the Paint2Fix blending solution provided or white spirits/alcohol wipes. The paint does not adhere well to polish or wax so this is important.
The Paint2Fix system has a specially patented and formulated lacquer within the paint that removes the need for this procedure. Additionally normal hand applied clear coats as used with a conventional touch up paint change the tone of the color leaving the repair even more visible.
Yes the Paint2Fix system has a specially patented and formulated additive that solidifies the paint once it has cured. The curing period is in the region of four weeks depending on weather conditions.
You can use a jet washer to clean your car straight away however we recommend that you try and avoid the repaired area until it has fully cured. Curing takes around one week.
No, Not right away! When a car has just been painted the paintwork is soft and requires time to solidify. After one month following painting it is safe to use Paint2Fix.
No, due to the vast selection of colors available we make each paint to order on a daily basis so it is completely new for the customer and to maximize shelf life.
The shelf life of the Paint2Fix paint is three plus years and the Paint2Fix blending solution is two years.
No the Paint2Fix Blending Solution will only work with the specially formulated Paint2Fix paint.
Yes you can use Paint2Fix on rusted bodywork to cover over the damaged area successfully. Please note that the Paint2Fix paint is NOT a rust inhibitor and the paint could rise after a period of time due to the moisture within the damaged area.
Yes Paint2Fix is suitable for use on classic cars. Cars painted pre 1970 will have been painted in a Cellulose paint that is very soft and whilst the Paint2Fix paint can be used the Paint2Fix blending solution can affect the paintwork as this type of paint is very soft and it is not recommended. Most classic / vintage cars have generally been repainted in modern paint so this is not applicable.
Yes we can. If you have a car, light aircraft or boat that you do not have the color code then if you could supply us with a panel or paint part we can match to it. Please contact us to discuss this.
Deep narrow scratches that are down to the paint or primer can be fixed with Paint2Fix. It is important during the Paint2Fix blending solution step to apply very light pressure on the cloth so as to not remove excessive paint from the scratch.
When cars are painted they are finally sprayed with a clear coat lacquer to create a protective shield to the paint as well as giving it a shine. If the vehicle is lightly scratched in the clear coat it can look far worse than it really is as the clear coat lacquer will go opaque / white in colour. In many cases you can either use a rubbing compound or take the car to a body shop where they will use a buffing machine to remove this damage. In cases where the damage cannot be removed by a rubbing compound you can carefully apply a small quantity of paint into the damaged area and then remove the excess with the Paint2Fix polish which has a mild rubbing compound in it.
The Paint2Fix system will NOT work well on this type of damage due to the amount of paint that has been removed and in this instance the vehicle should be taken to a body shop for the panel to be repaired and sprayed.
Whilst the Paint2Fix system will not make an invisible repair on this type of damage it can go a long way in masking it.
Heavily keyed paint work is difficult to repair and where the car has been vandalised down the side with a very long key mark it is recommended that you take the car to a body shop. However if you wish to mask the damage you can use the kit to achieve this, however it will not be an invisible repair and will still be noticeable.
Stone Chip Repair
Road Rash is where the vehicle's paint work has been peppered by stones causing a large quantity of stone chips.
As road rash is in a concentrated area you can quite simply smear the special paint all over the damaged area and then remove the excess paint with the Paint2Fix blending solution.
The applied newly applied paint is not removed as the chemicals very gently remove only a very small cross section of paint at a time. However if you were to apply an excessive amount of the solution and apply excessive pressure to the cloth you can remove the paint you have applied making the product very safe and risk free.
Yes the system will work on deep stone chips, however you will have to build up the paint in layers to achieve a good level. This can be done by either building up in layers or applying a large blob of paint and then letting it dry and then blending it down with the solution.
The vast majority of chips are not visible after painting unless you are very close to the bodywork and looking for them. When inspecting the car from a normal distance of over one metre the damage will be very hard to see and in some cases invisible. Please read our testimonials from customers that have written to us to get a good understanding of this. Please keep in mind that whilst the Paint2Fix product is extremely effective as a cosmetic repair it will not achieve the same result as would be achieved by removing all the paint and respraying as carried out by a professional body shop.
Colours and Colour Matching
Paint2Fix works especially well on dark and solid colors including metallic paint. When using Silver and Gold metallic paint there can be some shade variation due to the metallic particles within the paint which can cause the applied paint to be darker in some light conditions.
Yes. Whilst this is the most difficult finish due to the complexity of the paint we have achieved very good results with our paint system. In the case of Tri colors the kit comes with two paints so as achieve the most original finish.

Liverpool legend Ian Rush has moved to calm expectation at Anfield and has thrown his weight behind manager Jurgen Klopp insisting the German is '100%' the man to bring success to the club.
After ending 2016 second in the table after a 1-0 win against Manchester City, the Reds have seen their form drop off a cliff with only one victory this year – against League Two Plymouth Argyle – which has led to some questions about Klopp's future.
Liverpool, now sitting in fifth and 13 points behind league leaders Chelsea, have kissed any title chances goodbye but are just one point off fourth-placed Arsenal.
And Rush felt Klopp is suffering as a victim of his own early-season success and that competing for a Champions League place is more in line with his own expectations of the team.
"Jurgen Klopp is definitely the man to bring success to Anfield, there is no doubt about that," said Rush – who was speaking as he surprised a local Over 35's side – Railway Formby Vets FC – by turning out in a five-a-side match to promote the chance to win £3 Million for just £1 on The Football Pools.
Ian Rush on Liverpool's form, Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool v Tottenham from Fast Track Agency on Vimeo.
"Nothing has gone wrong, it is just what happens, people have blips and Liverpool had a blip in January and there is a long way to go. 100% in my opinion he [Klopp] is the man for the job.
"At the start of the season I said if Liverpool could finish in the top four and win a major trophy then that would be a major success," he said. "They're not going to win a trophy this season but there is still a chance for them to make the top four so if they can do that it would be a success."
Liverpool will host in-form Tottenham this weekend and could find themselves cut adrift from the Champions League places by four points with a loss – although Spurs haven't won at Anfield since 2011.
And Rush warned the London club their attacking, open style of play could be just the medicine to kick-start Liverpool's stuttering season.
"Tottenham are one of the few clubs who come to Anfield and try to win," he added. "A lot of clubs come and just try to park the bus and that is what Liverpool sometimes find hard to break down.
"Tottenham, because they have so many great players, will try to win the game and I think that will play into Liverpool.
"Against the top clubs [Liverpool] have a good record and I am certain on Saturday it will be the game to get them back on track. I don't think they'll lose but Liverpool do need to start winning and it is a great game for Liverpool to get up and running again."
With the January transfer window now closed, one less thing to worry about is the future of Daniel Sturridge with the England man remaining in Liverpool until May at least.
And Rush admitted he was delighted his fellow striker had remained at the club and predicted a big role for Sturridge during the second half of the season.
"Daniel Sturridge is probably the most gifted striker we have got," he said. "I was made up that he didn't go in January and I hope he is still here next year but you have got to fight for your place.
"I think he will fight for his place. One thing for certain this year is that we will need Daniel Sturridge and once he gets that chance he has to take it. And when he does take it and starts scoring again I think he'll play a major part in Liverpool making the top four."

Experiences of a lifetime
On the slopes of Mount Carmel in Haifa stands one of the holiest places on Earth for followers of the Bahá'í Faith, which teaches that no religion has a monopoly on the truth. It is the beautiful Baha'i Shrine and Gardens, home to the Tomb of the Báb (Baha'i Allah), the Persian-born 19th-century former merchant who founded the Bábí Faith in the 1840s. The Báb is revered as the herald and one of the central figures of the Bahá'í Faith, which was established years after his death by one of his followers, Bahá'u'lláh. A succession of 19 immaculately manicured garden terraces lead to the golden-domed tomb of the Báb.
Day 7
Tonight, you'll have an opportunity to taste the flavors of the ancient world (forgotten for centuries) as chef and owner, Moshe Basson, serves you a tasting menu inspired by biblical passages and his modern interpretations of them. Passionate about biblical culture, it was this very passion that drove Chef Basson to resurrect the recipes, spices and herbs of centuries past (all of which can be found in the surrounding hills of Jerusalem and Judea) and helped him create the menu that you will feast on this evening. Set in an ancient stone building, The Eucalyptus has a balcony where you can enjoy the sunset as it sets over the city. The Eucalyptus offers a variety of dishes utilizing fish, lamb, duck, beef and vegetables for your enjoyment. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available.
