"[T]he Joint Committee [...] refused the complainant's request to reschedule her hearing, yet her request for postponement was justified by the fact that she was declared unfit for work and that the date of the hearing was so close (she was summoned on 4 July in the afternoon for a hearing to be held on 7 July) that it did not leave her time either to prepare her defence properly or to be assisted by a counsel of her own choosing. The Tribunal rejects the reasons given for the refusal to reschedule the hearing, which were that, since the complainant had already been heard by the Joint Committee during the procedure relating to the conversion of appointments, and since the members of the Joint Committee for Disputes considered that the case file provided them with sufficient information, a hearing before the latter Committee was unnecessary. But considering that it was the Joint Committee for Disputes itself which took the initiative of summoning the complainant to a hearing, it could hardly have deemed that hearing to be «unnecessary»."

"In the Organisation's view, since the payments it was making to the complainant were entirely voluntary, a matter of grace and favour on its part, it was quite at liberty to suspend such payments when the complainant failed to fulfil her obligation to submit to the [...] medical examination [required by the Invalidity Committee]. [It] is wrong. The Invalidity Committee's report [...] was categorical in stating that the complainant must be regarded as not fit for work. That means that she was unable to perform her duties and at a minimum she was entitled to receive the emoluments provided for in Article 62(7) unless and until the Invalidity Committee made a further finding putting an end to her sick leave, extending it, or placing her on permanent disability. But, without the authorisation of the Invalidity Committee, the [Organisation] had no right by its own unilateral action to suspend the payments to which she was entitled by law. [...] There can be no doubt that the [complainant] has a clear obligation to assist the Invalidity Committee and to present herself as and when reasonably required to do so for examination or treatment. If she fails to do so, that might constitute grounds for the Invalidity Committee to declare her sick leave at an end or it might form the basis of disciplinary action. [However, the Organisation] cannot take the law into its own hands without regard for the complainant's rights or its own obligations under the Service Regulations. [...] The highhanded actions of the [Organisation] in cutting the complainant's payments are both unjustified and illegal. The impugned decision must be rescinded."

The complainant had an accident while on duty. He signed a settlement agreement with the organisation and the CERN Pension Fund in order to solve the issue of the payment of an incapacity pension by the pension fund. "The ESO submits the complaint is not receivable as it does not allege non-observance of the terms of the complainant's appointment or of the [organisation]'s rules and regulations [...]. The Tribunal considers that since the settlement between the complainant, the [organisation] and the CERN Pension Fund arises out of the complainant's rights under his contract of employment as well as the Staff Rules and Regulations, it has jurisdiction to consider the effect of the trilateral agreement."

The organization refused the complainant both an unsuitability and an invalidity pension. It explains that it couldn't arrange for a final medical examination at the time of the complainant's dismissal because he was in prison. "The Tribunal cannot accept that argument. Under Article R II 4.18 of the Staff Regulations, a medical examination is compulsory when a contract is terminated, for whatever reason. In view of the particular circumstances of the case, [the organization] should have been at particular pains to comply with that rule. In the absence of such an examination the pension fund should have determined whether, upon termination of service, the complainant was to be treated as unfit for work because of a deterioration in his physical or mental health which occurred while he was employed by [the organization]. The administrator of the Pension Fund was, therefore, wrong [...] when he refused to consider the complainant's entitlement to a pension for unsuitability." The case was sent back to the Pension Fund.

"One principle of international civil service law is that a decision on a staff member's status may not work to his detriment before the date at which he had notice of it. [...] The grant of an invalidity pension does not empower the Organisation to make the termination retroactive as from the date set for the start of payment and to disregard the requirement of notice in the rules [...] Here the Council failed to observe the rules."

The complainant argues "that by awarding him the ex gratia benefit [the Governing Board of the CERN Pension Fund] held him to be entitled to a partial incapacity pension. That is not so. The Board had already concluded, since he did not qualify under the Rules, that he was entitled to a pension neither for total nor for partial incapacity. It was prepared to grant him a pension for loss of earning capacity i.e. an 'unsuitability pension'; but, having heard him, it decided as an exceptional measure to grant him instead ex gratia benefits equivalent to the 'partial incapacity pension'. Granting him the equivalent is not the same thing as actually awarding him such a pension."

"The complainant's case is that his earning capacity has been impaired, not directly, but merely indirectly in that travel is essential for any employment for which he is suited and his condition [following a service incurred accident] has made it difficult, if not impossible, for him to travel. The burden therefore lay on him in the internal proceedings to show that any suitable employment would entail an appreciable amount of travel."
burden of proof; evidence; incapacity; injury; professional accident; service-incurred;
The complainant argues that an international official who is unfit for work may be dismissed only for reasons of health. "That is beside the point because hers is not a case of dismissal. What happened was that [...] CERN refused to renew her appointment".

"At the time of her dismissal for reasons of health under Staff Regulation 9.1 she was no longer able to carry out her duties and therefore met the conditions in that Regulation. The organization [...] afforded her all the safeguards international civil servants are entitled to. So there was no abuse of authority."
Organization rules reference: UNESCO STAFF REGULATION 9.1

The complainant was asked to report to an expert medical examination to examine his fitness for shift work. He objects to questions the organization put to the expert. Though the complaint is receivable, the Tribunal dismisses it on the merits since the material questions were relevant to the dispute and did not deprive the complainant of any safeguard. Once the medical expert has reported and the administrative decision been taken, the complainant may submit a further complaint bearing on the dispute as a whole.

"Besides an annual invalidity pension, an employee is entitled under Rule 14 of the compensation rules to lump-sum compensation for permanent loss of a member or function [thereof]".
compensation; incapacity; invalidity; lump-sum;
"According to the Organization's own interpretation of Rule 14, the sum awarded in compensation for permanent loss of function is intended to cover loss of enjoyment of life as well and the percentages should be considered to reflect such loss in the 'normal situation'. The Tribunal considers that the complainant's case goes beyond the 'normal situation'. [...] The Tribunal accordingly awards him a further 5 per cent of the basic figure".
compensation; incapacity; invalidity; loss of enjoyment of life;
"The Organization is liable only in respect of 50 per cent of the total incapacity. Accordingly, the Tribunal awards the complainant compensation under this head in the form of an annual invalidity pension equal to one-third of the yearly figure of his pensionable remuneration, i.e. half the full pension."
disability benefit; incapacity; invalidity; liability; organisation; rate;
"The Tribunal accepts the findings of the medical inquiry, which establish finally the medical aspects of the case. In view of the findings the Tribunal, before delivering a final judgment, requires from the complainant his replies to the following questions: (1) what invalidity pension is he claiming in compensation for total work disability caused as to 50 per cent by the accident ? (2) what is the total amount he is claiming in compensation for loss of function of the foot and of this amount what portion is attributable to loss of enjoyment of life ?"

"The new text of [Article] II 4.01 [CERN Pension Fund] reads: 'Unsuitability is the reduction, presumed to be permanent or long-term, by at least 1/3 in earning capacity resulting from a deterioration in physical or mental health, which occurred while the person concerned held a contract with one of the participating organizations'. [...] The complainant did not satisfy the conditions in [Article] II 4.01."

"The information available does not enable the Tribunal to assess whether the accident of 3 April 1982 resulted in all the permanent injuries now suffered by the complainant or only in the permanent injury to his left foot. In these circumstances an examination should be carried out by a medical expert whose terms of reference are set out below."
expert inquiry; further submissions; incapacity; interlocutory order; invalidity; medical examination; professional accident; rate; service-incurred;
While the complainant's degree of invalidity was assessed by doctors at 80 per cent, he in fact suffered the total loss of his earning capacity. "It is for the Director-General [...] as provided [under the rules] to assess the degree [of invalidity] on the basis of the medical evidence and as applied to the complainant's normal occupation. The Tribunal considers that the only conclusion on the facts of this case is that the complainant was totally unable to carry on his normal occupation or any equivalent occupation. Accordingly the degree of incapacity should be assessed at 100 per cent."

"The fundamental principle of the scheme [...] is that it is not a contract of indemnity but a contract to pay a fixed or calculated sum in certain contingencies. This principle is not affected by the adaptation of the scheme to short-term or temporary employment nor by the fact that in the latter case the earnings are not actual but assumed from an actual amount"
amount; health insurance; incapacity; invalidity; medical expenses;
"By the inclusion of the word 'function' ['organe' in the French version] in the [material provision] it is obviously intended that the loss of the use of a limb or member shall be treated in the same way as the actual loss. Whether it means more than this is open to question. Unless it does, it will not apply to persons like the complainant who are incapacitated by disease." The organization chose to apply another provision by analogy.
illness; incapacity; interpretation; invalidity; provision; service-incurred; staff regulations and rules;
The complainant became disabled following a disease contracted during a one-month mission. The complainant receives an invalidity pension. His incapacity was assessed by the Tribunal at 100 per cent. The amount of the pension must be redetermined. The deductions made of a university retirement pension were unwarranted they must be reimbursed, with the amounts being indexed against inflation and with interest [2 per cent]; costs.
amount; disability benefit; illness; incapacity; invalidity; rate; reckoning; refund; service-incurred;
The complainant claimed compensation for bodily injury in an appeal submitted to the internal appeals board. He claims compensation for loss of earning capacity resulting from the same injury in his claim to the Tribunal. The principle that the facts relied on in the internal proceedings should be the same as those relied on in the complaint to the Tribunal has not been infringed. However, in the internal appeal he claimed compensation of 18,000 francs but is now asking the Tribunal to grant him a larger sum. Insofar as he is seeking compensation exceeding 18,000 francs his complaint is irreceivable.
amount; complaint; difference; incapacity; internal appeal; invalidity; material damages; new claim; receivability of the complaint;
As to loss of earning capacity on account of long-term invalidity, "there is no general principle by which compensation is restricted to the period of the employee's contract with the employer who is liable. It is quite usual for persons of pensionable age to seek further employment and there is no reason why a loss of earning capacity should not apply to that."
compensation; duration of appointment; incapacity; invalidity; material damages; period; professional accident; retirement; service-incurred;
"The question whether a staff member is incapacitated from work is [...] a matter of judgment. The Tribunal will not substitute its judgment for that of the Director or of the expert advisers on whom he relies: it will intervene only if on the evidence the judgment appears to it to be wholly unreasonable or based on clearly mistaken conclusions."
discretion; incapacity; judicial review; medical fitness;
"A staff member cannot properly be dismissed for reasons of health unless he is no longer physically or mentally fit for work."
condition; health reasons; incapacity; medical fitness; termination of employment;
According to the dossier, at least some of the ailments affecting the complainant can be attributed exclusively to his age and not to the sequelae of a service-incurred accident. He cannot be regarded as having a disability affecting his earning capacity which results from that accident. He does not therefore meet the conditions laid down by the material provision. The Director-General was justified in refusing to apply the provision to his case.

From a curiosity standpoint, stickyback cards have one of the most interesting names of any product in our offering.
Just reading the word raises all kinds of questions.
- Is it some kind of candy bar?
- Is it someone describing a piece of tape?
- Did someone fall in a giant bucket of honey? Is that how he or she ended up getting so sticky?
Yes, there are plenty of questions about stickybacks, but let's address the most important one first (no, not the honey): what, exactly, is a stickyback ID card?
Stickyback cards are adhesive-backed cards designed to be attached to some kind of existing ID card or credential.
They're a unique and versatile ID solution, enabling organizations to save money while still identifying all of their employees.

| 7.3°C Belfast
Bernie Sanders is expected to officially endorse his former rival next week.
Both campaign teams are reported to be in talks about a possible event to make the announcement in New Hampshire.
Mr Sanders said he would vote for Ms Clinton in November, but he has withheld official endorsement as he attempted to negotiate policy details with her campaign.
If the event goes ahead next week, it would come after a committee within the democratic party makes its final votes on Ms Clinton's policy document, which would be presented at the national convention in late July.
The endorsement from Mr Sanders looks more likely after Ms Clinton revealed her plan to scrap tuition fees for students attending public in-state colleges and whose parents earn less than $125,000 per year.
In an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday, Mr Sanders said: "I think at the end of the day, there is going to be a coming together, and we're going to go forward together and not only defeat Trump, but defeat him badly."
He said the pair "came together on higher education".
The interviewer pressed the Democrat as to whether there might be an endorsement of Ms Clinton.
"That's correct," Mr Sanders replied.
In recent weeks the Vermont senator has tweeted support for Ms Clinton on her plans to eliminate college tuition fees, and has also applauded her "progressive" agenda on implementing Wall Street reforms, expand Social Security and to reject money from lobby groups, known as super PACs.
The shadow hanging over Ms Clinton relating to the misuse of her personal email server has lightened this week as it was announced she will not face any criminal charges from the Justice Department following FBI recommendations.
Mr Sanders famously quipped during a debate in October that the American public "are sick and tired of hearing about [her] damn emails".
Mr Sanders, who is still surrounded by a large entourage and security staff as he recently returned to the senate, said before the final democratic primary in Washington DC that he was willing to team up with Ms Clinton to defeat Donald Trump.
He insisted that he would not drop out of the race before 14 June, the date of the last primary, because he wanted to ensure that every American had a chance to vote for their preferred candidate.
In the end, Ms Clinton received more than 2,800 pledged delegates and super delegates, while Mr Sanders received close to 1,900.
She has not included his name on a list of possible vice presidents, and left-leaning Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren is speculated to be the favourite - the pair would be the first two-woman ticket in either party's history.
The democratic candidates are united in their condemnation of Mr Trump. Ms Clinton, Mr Sanders and Ms Warren have mocked his qualifications to be president and called him a "money grubber".
Standing in front of his abandoned Trump Plaza casino in Atlantic City this week, Ms Clinton told the crowds that Mr Trump had vowed to do to the country what he had done to his businesses.
She speculated this would mean running the country into more national debt and then defaulting on the loan.
"It's not about what he can build, it's about how much he can take," she said. "He went on twitter and said he made a lot of money in Atlantic City and left. Well, he got rich and he got out, and he thinks that's something to be proud of."

Can We Stop Bullying in the Gaming Community?
It's been a rough month in the gamer community. The furor surrounding Anita Sarkeesian opened up the floodgates for endless discussions of gender in games and gamer culture — and that much, at least, is good. Even if we don't all agree on the same points, the fact that lots of people are having conversations about it is a healthy thing.
There are folks out there trying to make a positive difference. Meet Sam Killermann, a gamer on a one-man mission to make our community a more welcoming place. In late June, he launched a site called Gamers Against Bigotry, which asks visitors to sign a pledge against using hateful language and identity-based slurs in-game.
A few weeks after the site's quiet debut, Killermann is now running an IndieGoGo campaign to raise the funds needed to make GAB a non-profit organization. The Mary Sue got in touch with him to learn more about the project, and to pick his brain about the issue at hand.
Q: One can safely assume that the people who sign the pledge aren't the ones using bigoted language to begin with. How does putting your name on a list help to address the problem?
SAM KILLERMANN: The pledge benefits folks who are already avoiding bigoted language in-game because it unites them and shows them they aren't the only ones who feel the way they do. At times, and depending on the game you're playing, it can feel like you're the only one who is put off by the bigoted speech that's tossed around in game chat.
Every additional pledge is another person speaking up, publicly, that bigoted language isn't okay. As our numbers grow, we'll get a better sense of where the gaming community really stands on this stuff.
Also, while that assumption seems safe (and is certainly widely assumed), in the first two weeks it's proven to be quite inaccurate. About a dozen of the pledgees have contacted me saying things like "I never realized doing this actually hurt people," or "I just thought it was part of the culture, so I played along," and ended their messages with "But I'm going to try to stop now." And those are just the gamers in those situations who have gone out of their way to get in touch with me. We can safely assume more signed with those sentiments and didn't let me know (see what I did there?).
Q: On the GAB website, you specifically mention that swearing and getting angry is A-OK. The folks I've gamed with over the years all have mouths like sailors (as do I), and we talk our fair share of smack. We see cursing and giving each other a hard time as all in good fun, but that's the same argument that a lot of people who use slurs in-game put forward. And to be fair, there are people who find four-letter words offensive. What's the difference between garden variety profanity and identity-based insults? Why is it okay to accept one and not the other?
SK: Identity-based slurs are designed (and have been historically used) to make an individual feel worthless because of some perceived in-born deficiency that they had no control over, like having happened to be born a woman, or Black, or gay, or — brace yourself — a gay, Black, woman. They cut to the core of people and remind them that one permanent aspect (or more) of them is seen as bad, and no matter what they do, that will never change.
Garden variety profanity goes against the grain of society as a whole — it's a social taboo, and using those words breaks an unwritten social law. They aren't personal, they aren't laced with a long history of violence and identity-based hatred, and they aren't likely to push someone into a downward spiral leading to depression or worse.
To sum it up: profanity can be seen as offensive, but identity-based slurs are always just downright shitty.
Q: The usual counter-argument on this issue is that asking people to refrain from using slurs equates to censorship, or that it somehow impedes their freedom of speech. What's your take on that?
SK: This idea of "freedom of speech" is a bit of an urban legend that is perpetuated when it's convenient. Would you be free to walk into a grocery store and start yelling "I love killing n*****s because the only good n***** is a dead n*****"? (That's a direct quote from the last time I played Call of Duty.) Absolutely not. If you were lucky, you'd be escorted out by a manager (and not a torch-bearing mob). Then why is that okay to do in a gaming lobby?
Further, you'd be thrown out of that same grocery store just for constantly yelling (even if you were yelling "I LOVE BABY CARROTS! OH SWEET GOD I LOVE BABY CARROTS!"), because it ruins the grocery shopping experience for everyone else.
It's not a matter of infringing on free speech as much as it is a matter of infringing on a gamer's ability to play games without being subject to identity-based, bigoted, hate speech. The ultimate question I urge people to ask themselves is "How would not having bigoted language present in gaming be a bad thing?"
Q: Tell me more about your gameplan for GAB if the IndieGoGo campaign is successful. I know that you're raising money for a 501(c)3 non-profit application, as well as to keep the website running and to help get the word out. If GAB does become an official non-profit, what's the next step?
SK: Our ultimate goal is to end bigotry in gaming, and there are a few paths we want to be able to take to that goal.
Getting the word out about the pledge to all gamers, and giving them a chance to decide whether or not they will sign, is crucial in understanding exactly where the community, as a whole, stands on this stuff (something we don't truly have any idea of at the moment). If we can advertise the pledge through a variety of channels, we can increase the odds of that opportunity cropping up.
We also want to work with game developers to improve the current systems that prevent bigoted hate speech and promote a stronger gamer community. While working on this, we want to create outlets for GAB pledgees to form our own gaming community by making it easier to connect and play with other people who care enough about others to not degrade their identities.
And on the other path, we want to provide resources and opportunities to help educate the people who are currently the biggest offenders. I don't believe that most people who use bigoted language in games are actually bigots. They are simply power-tripping on the amplification to their voice gaming gives them, and enabled by anonymity. If someone created something that helped people realize that their in-game behavior has real-world, seriously harmful effects, they might just reconsider. We can be the someone to create that something.
The problem is that all of these things take a significant amount of time and human effort and money. Several people have mentioned that they won't donate unless the organization is a legit 501(c)3. I think that's reasonable because actually filing the application and getting approved lends a lot of credibility to the organization, and also creates a system of accountability. All good things.

Waiting on Wednesday: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
My pick for this week is Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas due out August 2012.
Summary from Goodreads.com: After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.
Her opponents are men—thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the kings council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.
Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her… but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.
Then one of the other contestants turns up dead… quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

FUSN Life / Annual Events
FUSN's Special Events Span the Year
Community life at the First Unitarian Society is enriched by special events throughout the year-and each has a different goal and flavor. They range from the purely social such as community breakfasts and the annual dinner, to fundraising such as the Holiday Fair, to those centered around social justice, such as the Youth Coffee House.
At the Ingathering Service, members bring small amounts of water from their summer travels and pour them into a single vessel. Later the water is sterilized and used in baby dedications or other rituals.
On Columbus Day weekend, about 100 members of the congregation head for the Ferry Beach UUCamp and Conference Center in Saco, Maine.
The community shares meals, games, an amateur show, bouts of singing and poetry, plus walks on the beach and an informal Sunday service. Learn more.
On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, the fifth and sixth grade religious education classes serve a free Thanksgiving brunch to the congregation.
The Holiday Fair, held the first weekend in December, is festive for volunteers and raises funds for the society's operating budget. Have lunch and shop for holiday gifts, decorations, crafts, high-quality items at the silent auction, and baked and frozen foods. Buy a Christmas Tree at the fair or during the next weeks.
On the first Sunday in December, congregants can pick up Healthy Baby Healthy Child ornaments after the service. Each ornament identifies a holiday gift requested by a local family in need. Gifts are collected at FUSN two weeks later.
Holiday services are offered on Christmas Eve at 5:00 p.m. for a multigeneration gathering; 7:00 p.m. for traditional stories and carols; and at 11:30 p.m. for less traditional readings and music and chimes for each baby born that year. The evening's offerings are the primary source for the Minister's Discretionary Fund. Refreshments are served after the last service.
The Services Auction, usually but not always in January, is a chance to beat back the winter doldrums with festive event that raises funds for FUSN as community members offer expertise, a vacation houses, or service for a reasonable fee.
On Music Sunday, usually in February, the service is devoted to the talents of FUSN's singers and instrumentalists. The choir performs special music and often extra instrumentalists enhance the performance.
The FUSN Annual Budget Drive raises funds for the society.

text: Farmers and other residents of Mississippi's South Delta will see flooding from the current high water situation on the Mississippi River and the Yazoo River Basin. But it should not be as dire as if the Yazoo Backwater Levee failed, according to Col. Jeff Eckstein. Eckstein, commander of the Corps of Engineers Vicksburg District, described two scenarios for flooding in the South Delta during the Stoneville, Miss.-based Delta Council's annual meeting in Cleveland, Miss., May 6. The flooding projections are based on a crest of 57.5 feet in Vicksburg on May 20.

Let's face it. There aren't many better places to party day and night than the PHX. With 360 days of sunshine, or so it seems, and an abundance of pools, it's almost always game on during the daytime. Then, when the sun comes down, the lights come on and you can dance the night away. Here are our favorite places to let our hair down.
Best Pool Party: Soundwave Pool Party
7333 East Indian Plaza, Scottsdale
Temperatures aren't the only thing that heat up in the spring and summertime in the Valley. Poolside parties take place regularly during the warmer months at local hotels, resorts, or any other spot equipped with a pool of some sort. And one of the biggest hotspots for swim soirees is Maya in Scottsdale. Maya's annual Soundwave Pool Party series, which takes place Sunday afternoons, is its biggest attraction and features sets by high-profile electronic dance music superstars like Skrillex, Knife Party, and Bingo Players. Big crowds typically turn out for the affairs and kick it in VIP cabanas, frolic in the water, or get rowdy in front of the DJ booth as beats blast from the sound system.
Best Casino: Desert Diamond West Valley
9431 West Northern Avenue, Glendale
Sure, the Desert Diamond West Valley Casino in Glendale is a stopgap until the Tohono O'odham Nation constructs a much larger entertainment behemoth next door. The forthcoming 75,000-square-foot casino is a long sought-after goal for the tribe, which faced a legal challenge to the project. The new facility is scheduled to open by December 2019. In the meantime, the Desert Diamond's interim casino floor feels brand-new, with tons of slot machines and friendly staff. There are cheap drink specials at the bar, where a TV broadcasts concept art of the future casino on a loop. The ambiance is fitting. Casinos are designed to make you think that with the next pull of the lever, your luck will change. They telegraph to the gambler that something big is right around the corner. In the case of Desert Diamond, it's actually true.
Best Latin Club: Q-Lounge
8501 North 27th Avenue
Four nights a week, the northwest Phoenix location of Bobby-Q transforms into high-energy nightspot Q-Lounge, boasting two dance floors, cheap drinks, and a mix of Latin Top 40, cumbias, reggaeton, and hip-hop. Chicos and chicas alike flock to the spot to shake their culos or pop bottles in the VIP section. Things get particularly lit on Friday nights, when a live ensemble performs in one room while DJ Nicasio holds it down in another and bartenders pour drink specials. And every Saturday it's the Sabados Latinos session, when the joint offers a puro pinche parii with DJs lighting up the sound system, go-go girls shooting confetti cannons, and patrons going hard on the dance floor. It's muy loco and makes for a helluva night out.

Best Night Club: Pretty Please Lounge
4426 North Saddlebag Trail, Scottsdale
Once inside this Scottsdale hotspot, stroll past the foyer's electric pink "Oh-la-la!!" neon sign and a golden perch-like swing (a popular backdrop for Insta photos) and enter an opulently decorated den of decadence offering an enticing mix of hot sounds and even hotter bodies. A seductively playful verve permeates the 350-person nightclub, from its sultry red lighting and sexy beats to its lingerie-clad female waitstaff. Pretty Please's two hydraulic-equipped VIP booths in the center of the room can elevate you and your squad above the crowd while lasers and smoke effects shoot out from underneath. Sure, it might seem a bit ostentatious at other local nightspots, but in image-obsessed and spectacle-driven Old Town Scottsdale, it's right at home.
Best New Nightclub: Aura Nightclub
411 South Mill Avenue, Tempe
Aura Nightclub has a lot going for it. The 9,500-square-foot spot, which opened in April, has an excellent pedigree, as owner Narender Raju also runs popular local venue The Pressroom. And just like he transformed a shady downtown Phoenix warehouse venue into the aforementioned concert spot, he renovated and revamped the decrepit two-story space on Mill that formerly housed School of Rock into a high-tech nightlife playground. The main room boasts a 5,000-square-foot dance floor, 14 VIP tables, several 4K high-def screens, intelligent lighting, and a state-of-the-art sound system. An adjacent lounge area contains even more seating, a chill vibe, and enormous windows overlooking the hustle and bustle of Mill.
Best Place to Play with Cats: LaGatarra Cat Lounge & Boutique
1301 East University Drive, #136, Tempe
Maybe your landlord doesn't allow pets, or your partner is allergic. Maybe you have a cat, but you just want to hang out with a whole bunch at once. Whatever your situation, La Gattara is the spot to find temporary feline companionship. The brightly colored hangout is stocked with what you need to be comfortable — think shag rugs and beanbag chairs — plus a host of sweet kitties. You can wait for them to come to you, or you can introduce yourself to one. La Gattara also holds events like cat yoga, cat-themed paint nights, and other fun happenings. And if you really make a connection with one cat in particular, we've got good news: All the cats at La Gattara are adoptable, so feel free to turn a one-time meeting into a lasting relationship.

THE MERSEYBEATS - "Don't Let It Happen To Us" / "It Would Take A Long, Long Time" (Fontana TF 568) May 1965
In some respects, The Merseybeats remind me of The Searchers - possibly because their harmonies are subdued and not overbearing. On Fontana, they offer a soothing rockaballad with a lilting beat and captivating guitar figure, "Don't Let It Happen To Us." More appealing than punchy, and could do better than their last.
"It Would Take A Long Time" is a happy-go-lucky jog trotter with a country feel, featuring the lead singer. (NME review - May, 1965)
Difficult one to predict right now.....but The Merseybeats certainly do a very good job on it. The old Shirelles' number, slightly strained after effect-wise here. Good beat. Certainly a good song. (Record Mirror review - May, 1965)
|Record Mirror - December, 1964

Record-Breaking Thread
- Updated
Funny you should say that TM, I am sitting here in the living room with a massive cup of coffee, watching the 40 mph winds drift the snow, and watching between 1-3 inches an hour fall, so far about 12 inches down since last night, they say it may go on till sunday. I feel so sorry for the 1000's that are stuck on Interstate 70 in Kentucky, accidents have snarle traffc as well as all the snow, they say several people have died as a result of it , yet people have to venture out for the dumbest of stuff....
5 Replies
We in Southern Ohio dodged a bullet and I did personally. My DD still has summer rubber. I thought El niño meant I could wait until next year to get a winter set. Appears El niño is too weak to save me the dough.
The El nino affect has not yet materialized as they predicted here in Cali, we are having more rain than last year, but nothing like 2011 levels.
Haha, tell me about it.
Update : We have about 16" down , winds have drifted many areas to well over 4 feet tall, we have been working for about an hour just to get our driveway clear ( nice toro snow blower helped alot ) But this mess they say is going to wrap around and hit us again within the next 2 hours. Thankfully I stocked up on supplies, sta-bil, fresh fuel, sea form, and a bottle of rum....
Oh the fun of getting soaked and freezing all at the same time !!!! :(
This storm missed being the highest single day snowfall ever in NYC by a tenth of an inch.
(26.8 inches vs 26.9 in 2006)
Still pictures don't capture the intensity of the snowfall and wind. It was very impressive and warranted shutting the city down.
The usually calm hudson river had white caps and you couldn't see half way across the river. Very unusual.
The only stores we saw open was the hardware store selling shovels and sleds and the liquor store. :-)
The city streets and public transportation won't reopen until 7a this morning to allow for snow removal through the night. Quite a storm.3 Replies
It seems to me that a similar storm hit NYC, I believe in 1997. I remember it because I had an install and maintenance training scheduled in East Fishkill for that week and was going to fly in Sunday night to start Monday morning. As things went, I wasn't able to get to LaGuardia until TUESDAY night! I ended up combining the install with the training and it all worked out, but that was an intense three days!
Those photos are impressive Pat, but the news is making you esterners out to be a bunch of whimps though. Talking about all the snow, how its shutting down the city, blah, blah, blah, and then some dude is riding his bicycle down the street behind the reporter, showing a yellow Ranger who is stuck, and you can clearly see half the sidewall of his tires indicating, maybe, 2" of snow, showing times square and not a spec of snow to be seen on the buildings, streets, or sidewalk...
Sunday - Calm and cold here, 14°F at the moment. We're actually supposed to warm up a bit early this week, and then the freezer door slams on us once again. :-P~~~~~~~~~
Well, the storm didn't ease up yesterday afternoon, waking this morning we gott an additional 6" overnight so our total dump was 22 inches. Everything is still closed here ( even walmart !! )
The roads are barely passable, plows were out but winds blow the snow right back over what they just plowed, ( mother nature saying, " No I want the snow HERE !! ) So many here haven't even attempted to clear out here and if they go today, they will have it even worse because right now we have bright sunshine and that will make it even more interesting.
The pixs Pat put up mirror what we got here, and center city philly is buried, and I doubt the schools will be open tomorrow because of it. Well it is January, we had been spoiled by 70 degree december weather, so the pendulum had to swing the opposite way...... but DAMN !!2 Replies
Sunny with some clouds 62oF here, drive the FR-S down some twisty roads and around to Solvang and back (nearly completed the 1000 mile run in).
This country is amazing, huge snow storms on one side and a 5 year drought on the other.4 Replies
The funny thing is I live west of NYC right on the NY/Penn boarder and we have had no snow and it's supposed to be 40F on Wed.
The storm maps on BBC showed a long but relatively narrow snow storm, with NY City right slap in the middle.
Yep... Very narrow banding. 100 miles north of the city our place near Lime Rock got half an inch of snow.
We got none here in Sayre PA, right on the NY/PENN Boarder, about halfway between Erie PA and NYC on I-86
Today we were told that the police told the school district to stay closed due to continuing road and sidewalks still not being cleared, heck the philadelphia airport and public transit isn't up to full strength yet either and their schools are closed as well, hard to believe that but Russell's locale they didn't see any snow, back in 2009 I was stuck in Williamsport ( middle of the state ) in a snow storm and they got slammed even by the small storms, higher elevation I guess....1 Reply
Monday - Per (mostly) usual, the little guy is here for his weekly speech therapy, which either my gal or I may take him to. Temp is supposed to go into the 40s today, which will be interesting. Other than that, not a lot cookin'.
Amazing how often a missed PAT comes back to bite you in the ass.
Edit: Not you, Pat. As the song says, "How can I miss you if you won't go away?"

Q. I have never published a book before, do you provide assistance/advice at all stages of production?
Yes, our staff will give you every assistance to get your book successfully into print. In this regard, we would recommend an initial brief discussion (either by telephone or in person) regarding size, layout and formatting to assist in the smooth running of the file production.
Q. What are the minimum and maximum quantities?
The minimum is 50 copies and the maximum is whatever the author requires.
Q. What is the minimum and maximum number of pages?
The minimum is 48 and the maximum is 750.
Q. Who controls or decides which format the book is to be produced in?
The writer retains full control of format, pricing, etc.
Q. What formats and bindings can you print?
Although the number of pages in a book will generally dictate the binding style, we can produce books using the following binding methods:
Saddle-stitched (stapled along the spine) - Perfect bound (paperback) – casebound (hard cover with optional dust jacket) – wiro (spiral) bound; and any variation of these bindings to include various flap styles, as requested.
Q. How do I get a book produced by eprint if it is not available as a digital file?
You may provide us with good clean hard copy, which we can scan, to produce a digital file ready for printing. Depending on the complexity of the cover design, can also scan and recreate a similar style cover. There will be an extra charge for this service, which will be quoted upon receipt of the book.
Q. How good is the quality of print on demand reprints compared to original books?
When reprints are requested, eprint will use the same files and material that were used in the first print of your publication, so a second print run will be of exactly the same quality as the first print run. All files are held on a secure server with a back-up copy for up to five years and may be retrieved and updated for further editions.
Q. Can you reprint in a paperback edition if we only have a hardback edition available?
The text is no problem but we cannot scan a hardcover jacket and produce a paperback cover. In this instance the best option is for eprint to produce a similar cover, based on a scan (where suitable hardcopy is available) and retype and layout all the text material to get as close a match to the original as possible. There will be an extra charge for this service, which will be quoted upon receipt of the book.
Q. When reprinting from an existing book, what happens to the disassembled book? Is it returned?
Unfortunately, the book cannot be returned to the writer in its original condition.
Q. If I hold a digital file already, what formats can eprint accept and how should I send it?
Ideally a high resolution (high quality) PDF file set up to the finished dimensions of your book, with fonts either embedded or supplied separately. Files can also be supplied in Word format (or comparable rich text format), which will be formatted into your agreed layout.
Files can be submitted on CDs, memory sticks or as e-mail attachments. Larger files, such as drawings or photographs, may be simply uploaded to eprint's File Transfer Protocol (ftp) site and instructions for this will be given, if required.
Q. What happens to the book file once eprint has produced it?
All files are held on a secure server with a back-up copy for a period of five years.
Q. Will I get a proof copy to check before you print the first copy of the book?
Absolutely, we require you to sign off a proof copy to authorise any printing.
Q. Would eprint refuse to print a book if they considered the work to be of insufficient quality?
We would alert the writer to any concerns we may have, and recommend changes and improvements that could be made before proceeding further.
Q. How long does it take to set a title up?
This varies, depending upon the amount of work involved. Obviously, setting up a digital file is much quicker than scanning hard copy, and 50 pages received correctly laid out require less preparation than do 300 pages received with a double carriage return after every line and double spacing between every pair of sentences - all of which has to be stripped out manually. Except in the case of exceptionally complicated layouts, we anticipate a timescale of approximately 10 days from receipt of a digital file to sending a book to print.
Q. How quickly can you print once an order has been received?
Once the title is set up on the system we anticipate supplying print on demand titles within 3 days of the order being received.
Q. Who controls the right to print?
The writer controls the right to print.
Q. Who controls the book rights?
The writer retains all rights.
Q. Can I make changes to the book?
You can make changes to the book up until the sample copy is printed. If any changes are required once you have received your sample copy, other than errors made by us or by the print setup, an additional charge will be made. Therefore, to save yourself additional expense it is imperative that the initial manuscript is as near perfect as possible.
Q. How do I get an ISBN?
As part of our service, eprint will organize the obtaining of an ISBN for your book and will also generate a barcode for your publication.
Q. Who is responsible for clearance of digital rights?
It is the writer's responsibility to obtain clearance for all text and illustrations for digital use. eprint requires that you indemnify us against any infringements of other people's copyright, and where appropriate supply us with written proof.
Q. Can I change the price?
The choice of price is entirely at the writer's discretion, although advice will be provided.
Please contact us about any queries you may have on our range of services at - firstname.lastname@example.com

JAKARTA, Indonesia (Irian News/Christian Science Monitor) - For more than a month, the Indonesian military's Special Forces Command have been the key suspects in a mine ambush that killed two Americans and one Indonesian.
The August attack occurred on a lonely mountain road in the province of Papua, in the shadow of the world's largest copper and gold mine - owned by the Louisiana-based Freeport McMoRan. The victims: teachers at a Freeport-run school.
However, US and Indonesian investigators say the politically sensitive investigation has stalled. They've uncovered a trail leading back to Kopassus, as the Special Forces are known, and can go no further.
"We don't have the authority to question soldiers,'' says Brigadier General Raziman Tarigan, the deputy police chief for Papua. "It is in the military's hands."
The world's largest Muslim country has been a focus of the US war on terror since the Al Qaeda-linked October bombing of a nightclub on Bali. The mine attack came as the Bush administration was pushing to resume military relations with Indonesia, severed three years ago. Diplomats now warn that the Freeport investigation looms as the biggest obstacle to new ties and could have grave consequences for military relations between the US and Indonesia.
"Very serious questions are going to have to be answered,'' says a US official. "Until there is a full, transparent investigation of what happened at Freeport, resuming military ties would be extremely difficult."
Kopassus has run so-called black operations for more than 20 years, particularly in conflict areas like Papua, Aceh, and the former province of East Timor, usually without any civilian oversight.
The US broke military relations with Indonesia in 1999, largely because of rampant human-rights abuses - including the military's alleged use of Kopassus operatives to create militias in East Timor that murdered and tortured hundreds of civilians after they voted for independence, according to an Indonesian government investigation.
"[The Freeport] incident must not be seen in isolation: It's part of a troubling pattern of abuse that, if anything, is on the rise," says a Western diplomat in Jakarta.
History of abuse While Indonesian police have implicated Kopassus in a string of human-rights crimes - from the disappearance and torture of democracy activists in 1998 to the 2001 assassination of Papuan independence leader Theys Eluay - efforts to prosecute soldiers largely have been dismissed as a whitewash by foreign governments.
The military and Kopassus have also been involved in previous operations against Freeport. Freeport executives blamed the military for a 1996 riot near the mine, a charge bolstered by comments of former Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono to a foreign academic in 2000. He said that elements in the military were seeking to underscore their importance by frightening the US firm.
The Indonesian military often demands protection money from big businesses to fund its operations - particularly mining and oil and gas companies, according to executives at four foreign firms in Indonesia.
After the 1996 riot, Freeport built a $35-million base for the military. Similarly, Indonesian police and Western diplomats say, extortion was a probable motive for the August attack.
Freeport makes payments of more than $10 million a year to the Indonesian military, but has been shifting resources to the police since the fall of the Indonesian dictator Suharto - himself a former general - in 1998.
Freeport employees say that in the past year local commanders have complained that their payments were too low. Freeport has also been making payments to Papuan groups with ties to the independence movement, angering the military.
Lots of leads, little commitment Under Indonesian law, and the police handed responsibility for investigating the case to the military more than a month ago. Since then, Mr. Raziman says, the military has shown few signs of commitment to following the trail to Kopassus.
"It's a pity for the police, but the law gives the military the right to investigate and prosecute its own."
In particular, he says, military investigators have appeared uninterested in the testimony of Deky Murib, a Papuan native who worked as a porter and assistant to Kopassus field teams. Mr. Murib told the Indonesian police and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents in September that he helped 11 Kopassus members prepare for the attack.
Diplomats also say the US has been passed radio intercepts that appear to include discussions among Indonesian soldiers about "operations" against Freeport.
Western diplomats say that could now leave the FBI, which was getting full cooperation from the Indonesian police, out in the cold. A preliminary FBI report, conducted here and in Australia - where survivors of the attack went for medical care - also found that Kopassus was the likely culprit in the attack, according to a source who has seen the report.
But that information has not yet been released to Congress. The FBI has been planning a return to Timika, the town that serves as the base for the Freeport mine, for a fuller investigation. But the military now has veto power, and is unlikely to provide the access investigators will need.
That suspicion increased Monday when Colonel M.R. Saragih announced that the 10- man military team investigating the Freeport killings had exonerated the military. "These [accusations] have been spread to undermine the military," he said.
The work of rebels? "The evidence so far shows all the hallmarks of a military operation,'' says John Rumbiak, who runs the Papuan human rights group Elsham. Elsham has been one of the leading critics of the military's role in Papua, and has been at the forefront of the investigation into the attack at Freeport.
On Oct. 11, the Elsham office in Jakarta was trashed by a group of men with military haircuts, according to Alberth Rumbekwan, Elsham's Jakarta representative. Elsham documentation and computer diskettes were carried away by the men. "We think they were military, but we can't prove it,'' he says.
The office of the Indonesian military spokesman didn't return phone calls or respond to a fax requesting comment on allegations that the military was involved in the Freeport attack. Major General Sriyanto, the Kopassus commander, denied the allegations in a brief interview with Indonesian reporters two weeks ago. "I very, very much trust that my men are not involved,'' he said.
Papua military commander Major General Mahidin Simbolon has blamed the separatist Free Papua Organization (OPM) for the murders. Most Papuans, who are ethnically and culturally distinct from Indonesia's dominant Javanese culture, support independence. A small band of rebels lives in the highlands near the Freeport mine.
Yet foreign investigators point to inconsistent statements made by the military. For instance, the day after the Aug. 31 attack, the military produced the body of Danianus Waker, a Papuan man they said was a rebel who participated in the Freeport attack, and claimed had been killed in a shootout near the road where the killings took place. But an Indonesian police autopsy found that Mr. Waker died at least 24 hours before the military claimed he died. He was also found to have suffered from a condition that would have made it unlikely he could have participated in the long, dangerous hike to the site of the attack.
The narrow road where the Freeport employees were killed twists back treacherously for about 35 miles from Freeport's operational base in the swampy lowlands to its mill at 9,000 feet. Indonesian garrisons control all vehicle access on the road.
The only other way to get onto the road is to scramble along difficult mountain paths for miles. The teachers were part of a two-car convoy and had spent the day visiting the mill and were returning to a Freeport community in the lowlands.
The attack involved far more firepower than the OPM has ever been known to use. About 15 men armed with Indonesian military standard issue M-16 and SS-1 assault rifles riddled the lead car with over 400 rounds. Eleven other Freeport employees were injured.
While the OPM has occasionally stolen rifles from the Indonesian military, they are largely armed with bows and arrows and are unlikely to have wasted so much hard-to-get ammunition.

I had to wash my IKEA comforter this week, so I could put the duvet cover back on and because it hasn't been washed, ever, since I bought almost six years ago. IKEA no longer sells this particular comforter, which they replaced with the Honsbar. I realized that I had no idea if it could even be washed, but surely the Internet knew! And it certainly did.
You can download the instructions for washing from IKEA, here. Scroll down until you see "Instructions & Other documents" and click on the highlighted text "Manuals."
You can wash the comforters in water temperatures up to 60 ℃, or 140 ℉. You should use only ⅓ of the regular amount of laundry detergent. I washed mine using a Tide Pod because we are out of liquid detergent. It did not affect the duvet negatively in any way. You then dry on regular heat (although I only ever dry on low) and can put in some tennis balls to fluff it up as it drys, but the directions caution that some of the coloring from the balls could have transferred onto the duvet. I imagine that if you use dryer balls instead of dryer sheets, it isn't an issue. I used neither, and it still fluffed up nicely.
My comforter had some stains on it of the animal/baby accident and suspiciously-like-mildew type. So I rubbed in some OxiClean and tossed it straight into the washer. The stains are completely gone (sorry, forgot to do a picture!) It smells brand new, and mildly of down. I'm quite pleased and am thinking about washing it twice a year, spring and fall.

Recent Faux news breaking reports have been promoting the idea that a college education is "just not worth it". Normally, I tune out their drivel, but when total misinformation is pounded into the airwaves every fifteen minutes, twenty four seven, I find it impossible to ignore without comment. Additionally, it seems that in an effort to keep abreast of Faux, CNN, "the most trusted name in news", has picked up the meme and is doing their part to promote ignorance throughout society.
The logic thread, if you can call it that, is that the amount of student debt encumbered by some degrees does not translate into a quick return on investment. Sadly, the propagandists at Fox only recognize quick turning ROI's like insider trading or cash laundering. We are to believe from the Faux news reports that an investment that doesn't return instant profits, like a higher education, is foolish and to be avoided at all costs.
Contrary arguments to their news blurbs are never presented, especially ones that irrefutably disprove Faux's assertion. For example, an article in US News and World Report states that, "Those holding bachelor's degrees earn about $2.27 million over their lifetime, while those with master's, doctoral, and professional degrees earn $2.67 million, $3.25 million, and $3.65 million, respectively." "Today's young high school-only grads earn about 62 percent of what their college-graduate peers earn." Now even a simple-minded country boy like myself can figure that even with a $100,000 tuition debt at graduation, the $2.27 million looks like a good return on my investment.
There is an argument that can be made that there are certain high earning professions that don't benefit from a degree. My cousin Rad has made mid 5 figures annually since high school running the family business. Simmons Sewers and Septic have been proudly pumping bilge in the Atlanta area since 1947. Rad is a third generation pooper pumper, and started his ascendancy to the "throne" in high school. Working after school and weekends, Rad learned the ins and outs of the business before he graduated high school. While Rad's classmates were listening to SAT prep instructors, Rad was listening to the septic truck's vacuum pump motor to make sure that the vacuum pump was operating properly. If the pump got blocked, well, things could "go in the dumper" pretty quickly.
Many of us envied Rad's financial independence. Rad had a new car, always had spending money and was the first one of us married and then to have children. Rad went from high school to middle-age while the rest of us were trying to figure out how to squeeze out six years of parent sponsored independence for our four year degree. Rad has had a good life, and looks forward to the first Simmons graduating college in the Spring. Early on, higher education for his children became a priority to Rad because he wanted them to have a better life and more opportunities.
If the Faux news argument that "a college degree is just not worth it" can so easily be refuted, why are the propagandists so ardently pushing the concept? Could promoting ignorance have a different reward? Could the fact that the ignorant are more easily led be the real end game?
