It's almost cliche at this point to talk about or make fun of how the local news tries to scandalize everything, but it is true that when you watch that thing the overwhelming sense is not that you are learning about the happenings of the world or engaging with the important debates of the day, but simply that you're listening to some vaguely uninformed friend going on a hyperventilating rant about the cashier who wronged them, or whatever. I feel like the motto for the local news, ANY local news, should just be "WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR WHAT SO-AND-SO OR MAYBE SOMETHING DID NOW!!!" There is some sitcom that I watch on my DVR that always includes the two-second bumper from that evening's 11PM local news broadcast and every week I am reminded that I really should make a supercut of those because they are hilarious. Again, it is almost cliche how hilarious they are. It is like shooting two-second bumpers from the 11PM local news broadcast in a barrel. But every week it is this woman in too much makeup staring deadpan into the camera and asking "ARE GRAPES KILLING YOU?" Or maybe, "HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THE CASHIER AT STAPLES?" All of that being said, this local news broadcast in which a woman and her family are interviewed on their front lawn (?!) about a store at the mall selling leopard print crotchless panties for children is almost legitimate. That store probably shouldn't be doing that. Can we talk about this inside? No? Out on the front lawn for the whole time it is, then.
I love how the story doesn't start with them going into a clothing store for children and discovering crotchless panties for children. The story starts with them taking their son to a play area and there being a new store near the play area. LET'S MAKE SURE TO GET ALL THE DETAILS, LOCAL NEWS STORY. The Pultizer Committee hates when you do a story about a new store at the mall selling crotchless panties for children but you don't report on what the mother who discovered the crotchless panties for children was doing at the mall RIGHT BEFORE she went into the store. (Although, actually, she says that they were heading "towards" the play area. We do not know if they ever actually MADE IT to the play area! We will continue to stay with this story as it develops.)
But what I love even more than that is the store's defense that although they will remove the offending product from their shelves, they would like to point out that about 25% of their inventory is for teenagers. Uhhhhhhh. REST YOUR CASE! I am pretty sure that teenagers ALSO don't need crotchless panties? Like, we are all in basically 100 percent agreement that children don't need them, but let's say that we are the 99% of America who also agree that teenagers don't need them. "Oh these crotchless panties? Of course these aren't for a 7-year-old. What kind of monsters do you think we are? Those are clearly in the section marked 14-year-olds, ma'am." Perfect. You know you are dealing with a genius when they argue that the crotchless panties for children made up the 25% of their inventory intended for teenagers, but you already suspected that you were dealing with a genius when you found out their store was called "Kids N' Teen." Good name for a store. Good inventory. Good arguments. Good news. (Via WarmingGlow.)

GQ Men of the Year Party 2012 | Pictures
Ben and Rihanna Celebrate Their GQ Honors and Toast Absent Channing
Ben and Rihanna Celebrate Their GQ Honors and Toast Absent Channing
GQ hosted their Men of the Year party at LA's Chateau Marmont last night. Ben Affleck was on hand to celebrate his honor after a big year that's included the release of his hit movie Argo and the birth of his third child, a son named Samuel. Ben shared the honor with Channing Tatum, who today was also named People's Sexiest Man of the Year. Channing wasn't able to attend the bash, but he was represented by his wife, Jenna Dewan. Rihanna earned the magazine's title of Obsession of the Year, and she swung by the Chateau in a hot red dress from Calvin Klein. Also out to celebrate with GQ was a Cushnie et Ochs-clad Diane Kruger, and a whole group from Revenge that included a Reem Acra-wearing Emily VanCamp, Joshua Bowman, Christa B. Allen, and Ashley Madekwe.
The annual event brought out plenty of stars to toast Ben, Channing, and Rihanna. Adam Brody, Chace Crawford, Max Greenfield — another of People's hottest men of 2012 — and Seth MacFarlane mingled together. Alessandra Ambrosio, in Sally LaPointe, celebrated a week after the Victoria's Secret show with her fellow Angel Erin Heatherton. Click through to see them, as well as photos of all the celebs who posed on the black carpet.

Except I Shall See—Part B
I cannot hear His words
If He's not with me.
I cannot feel His touch
If He's not here.
I cannot tell the world
My Lord still walks with me
If I can't see Him
And have Him near.
Except I shall see, I will not believe.
Except I behold His wounds,
I will always grieve.
Except I put my finger into the print of nails,
He has not risen up for me.
I will not,
I cannot
Except I Shall See Part B
If I can't hear His words,
Then I will speak them.
If I can't feel His touch,
His touch I'll give.
And I'll rejoice because my Lord called even me,
And by His teachings I'll always live.

Local District Attorneys Sell Their Letterhead & Threats Of Jailtime To Debt Collectors
from the win-win? deptWe've been quite reasonably bothered by the FBI handing out its seal to copyright holders to falsely imply that mere personal copying is a criminal offense that might get you sent to jail. However, it appears that this handing off of government law enforcement threats to private parties goes much, much further. Over the weekend, the NY Times wrote about the amazingly common practice of local district attorneys' offices allowing debt collectors to send threat letters on their stationary and signed by the local DA -- effectively threatening those who, for example, passed a bounced check, with potential jailtime if they don't pay up.
The DAs office, it appears, is literally selling the use of their stationary. In exchange for letting debt collectors appear both a lot more official and for falsely suggesting that law enforcement is pursuing criminal action, the debt collectors "sell" a "financial accountability" class, from which some of the proceeds get kicked back to the DAs' offices.
The practice, which has spread to more than 300 district attorneys' offices in recent years, shocked Angela Yartz when she was threatened with conviction over a $47.95 check to Walmart. A single mother in San Mateo, Calif., Ms. Yartz said she learned the check had bounced only when she opened a letter in February, signed by the Alameda County district attorney, informing her that unless she paid $280.05 — including $180 for a "financial accountability" class — she could be jailed for up to one year.The NYT includes images of some of the documents in question, and they really do look quite official, despite the fact that the DA's office usually is not even aware of the particulars of anyone's case, and is unlikely to pursue any sort of law enforcement activity.
What's really ridiculous is to see various DAs offices defend this kind of thing.
"I view it as quite a win-win," said Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott D. Shellenberger. "You aren't criminalizing someone who shouldn't have a criminal record, and you are getting the merchant his money back."Scott Greenfield's response to this ridiculous claim is dead on:'
Check bouncers should be held accountable. But only in a way that the law provides, after the people in whom we repose trust and responsibility ascertain that a crime has been committed, and after the accused has been afforded the opportunity of a full and fair hearing before a neutral magistrate. Whether the merchants deserve to get money back or not is the end result, not the starting point. It's a burden to do things right? 'Tough nuggies. That's why they pay you the big bucks.He similarly finds offensive the claim from another (former) DA in the article that these shakedown programs are fair because actually having law enforcement would "overburden the court system or the resources of the district attorneys." Again, Greenfield points out that you don't get to avoid due process just because it's a hassle:
After all, who would want to "overburden the court system or the resources of district attorneys" by expecting them to do their jobs? Who would want courts and prosecutors to afford citizens due process? Instead, let's defer to the excellent judgment and trustworthiness of businesses and debt collectors. They would never lie. They would never get it wrong.We've talked a lot about problems with forms of "crony capitalism" where businesses have undue power over government, and it happens at pretty much every level of government these days. But, at the very least, we shouldn't just be handing over the power of law enforcement to private parties. Law enforcement agencies are already prone to abuse. Giving it to private, for-profit companies? You're just asking for serious trouble.
Update: Liberty McAteer points out that the offices doing this likely are violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) in a very, very big way... Update 2: Some more comments point out that there appear to be direct exemptions in the FDCPA for this kind of thing. Doesn't make it right, but probably not illegal under the act.

The road has never been more than an overgrown mud track, little travelled and little cared for, petered out to nothing more than a flattened earthen line, barely distinguishable from the rest of the landscape. The soil is dark and fecund and dark oaks stand like sentinels at the forest edge, their branches high and leafy. From them hang grizzly human bones, skulls and shiny precious stones. Who put these strange totems there? Are they warnings? Do the PCs dare to take the stones?

Krudo Knives Lots of NewStuff!
We've been selling Krudo Knives at the KnifeCenter for some years now, but we have recently expanded the selection greatly. Designed by martial arts expert Louis Krudo, these self defense tools are designed to help the user fend off and disable an attacker. Louis is a real knife-guy and a great character that we greatly admire. The design of his self defense knives is unlike anything else you have seen. While several of these SNAG tools are unsharpened, they're not limited to use as "trainers"-most of the Krudo "pain management techniques" utilize the unsharpened, textured hook to grab or apply pressure to an assailant.
Check out the SNAG tools, trainers, and SNAGettes today at www.knifecenter.com!

(CBS News) Boeing's revolutionary 787 Dreamliner was delayed for years because of production trouble.
Now, the company is having new problems -- two incidents in two days -- both at Boston's Logan Airport.
Boeing's 787 Dreamliner: What new problems mean
Boeing shares fall after 787 Dreamliner catches fire
Beoing 787 Dreamliner: The experience
First, a fire burned in the belly of a 787, minutes after the passengers had left the plane.
Then, the very next day, as a Dreamliner taxied to the runway, approximately 40 gallons of fuel leaked from the aircraft.
Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, a CBS News aviation and safety expert, said these kinds of problems are normal for new aircraft.
"If you look at the history of aviation, decades ago, new airplanes had many more issues and they often led to fatal results," he said. "Now we catch these problems much earlier."
National Transportation Safety Board investigators traced the fire to a battery in the plane's auxiliary power unit -- typically used to provide heating and cooling when the airplane is on the ground.
In a statement, Boeing said, "Nothing that we've seen in this case indicates a relationship to any previous 787 power system events."
Last month, a United Airlines 787 flight made an emergency landing in New Orleans after false warnings from an electrical panel.
"Every new airplane has growing pains," said Sullenberger. "Especially those that push the edge of the envelope in technology."
While both of Japan Airlines' 787s returned to the skies, Boeing's reputation may rest on the Dreamliner staying out of the headlines.

Welcome! Here are some links to help you learn about SAGE.
In order to access SAGE, permission must be given via ASTRA (Access to Systems, Tools, Resources, and Applications) which provides Web-based management of authority for UW administrative applications.
Ask your local ASTRA administrator to authorize the appropriate SAGE ASTRA Roles for you. If you try to log in to SAGE without an authorized role, SAGE will display a list of your authorizers.
ASTRA authorizations generally take effect almost immediately. If you are already logged into SAGE, log out and then log back in again to pick up your new authorizations.
All SAGE users must have a UW NetID and a UW email account. UW departments/divisions may obtain sponsored UW NetIDs for people who do not have them, such as new hires.
UW departments will also need to authorize access by assigning the appropriate SAGE roles in ASTRA.
Note: Email notifications generated by the SAGE approvals process are generally sent to a user's UW email@example.com email address. This email can be forwarded to another account for your convenience.
SAGE has been designed to work on any standards-compliant Web browser. The following sections list the support for specific browsers.
Officially Supported Browsers
Browsers on which ORIS regularly tests new releases and will fix related bugs when discovered or reported.
|Supported OSes
|latest & latest-1
|MS Windows (7, 8, & 10)

Depending on your association with an eGC1 application as it is approved, and possibly awarded, you may receive a number of different email notifications.
Email notifications are sent from various parts of the SAGE Suite. Follow the links to handy charts of who receives what, when and why.
Workday defines the Academic Appointment Types as follows:
When using the Personnel Chooser, you will see all academic appointments and/or positions listed for a person so that you can pick the appropriate one.
A new hire will need to have a UW NetID and UW email account before you can add him or her to an eGC1. UW departments/divisions may obtain sponsored UW NetIDs for people who are new to the university and whose academic appointments or positions are not yet active.
If the researcher needs access to SAGE to view or edit eGC1s, then you will also need to authorize them with the appropriate role(s) in ASTRA. If the new person will be the PI, they will need the PI role.
Once the NetID is created, you'll need to use the NetID for the look up, as a sponsored person is considered a "non-UW person" until their academic appointment or position is active. Once active, you can go back to any eGC1s where they are listed as non-UW and refresh the information.
For details on when an eGC1 application is required, see the Proposal Routing section of the UW Research Submit Proposal web page.
See the Navigation and Saving Data article for details. Data is saved when you
First, verify that you have read-write access by checking the Contacts & Assign Access page. Next, you should contact the person listed in the banner and ask them to exit the item properly by clicking the Save & Close this egCC1 link or the Back to My eGC1s link.
See Access Issues: Locked for Editing for more details.
This means the Sponsor has not yet been added to the SAGE database. Follow the instructions on the Sponsor Chooser page
The first step is to verify with the Dean's Office or Provost that they will participate in cost sharing. You can then specify the cost sharing on your eGC1 Cost Sharing page.
New or changed Workday job information is generally available within a few hours via the Personnel Chooser.
Note: Newly-hired investigators should also update the Investigator Details section on their FIDS profile.
See the Attached Documents article to learn which section to place your documents in and the eGC1 and Grant Runner Attachments article for how to attach, delete, and update files.
Look at the type of file (.PDF, .xlsx, .docx, etc.), then check that your computer has the right software to open that type. For example, you need to have Microsoft Outlook to see .msg files. You may need to install software or you could contact firstname.lastname@example.com to request the file in a different format.
It is possible to Copy an Existing eGC1. However, if it is a Grant Runner application, only the standard part of an eGC1 is copied, not the Grant Runner forms. Details about what will be copied are given on the page which displays when you start the copy process, and in the linked article above.
To copy an eGC1, click the Copy icon in the top right corner of your eGC1 window. After you review the instructional information, click Confirm Copy.
Yes. To create a "template" eGC1, start with a newly created eGC1 and fill in just the data values that you commonly use. This might include:
Give the eGC1 a title that indicates it's a template, and then save it, leaving it in Composing status. When you need to create a new eGC1, open the template eGC1 and make a copy of it.
See the Delete an eGC1 user guide article for full details.
Any eGC1 in Composing status can be deleted by anyone with read/write access to it at any time. Any eGC1 in Returned or Withdrawn status that was last completed more than six months ago may be deleted.
To delete the eGC1, click the delete icon (trash can) on the top navigation bar, and then click OK to confirm that you want to delete the eGC1.
On the My eGC1s tasklist, click the value in the status column for the desired eGC1 to open the Approval Graph. Note: The Approval Graph is not available from the status column when the eGC1 is still in Composing status.
You can also open the Approval Graph from the Certify & Route page using the link in the Process Application section.
The History & Comments page, accessible from the Approval Graph, displays a record of all approval actions taken on an application.
You can Withdraw an eGC1 that is routing for approval editable. Once you have made your changes, click the Complete button to re-complete the eGC1 and move it back into the routing process.
For more details, see the Changing a Routing eGC1 user guide article.
SAGE does not automatically start the approval process over from the beginning when the eGC1 is modified after the PI or other reviewers have already approved it. If substantive changes are made that would modify the commitment of a unit then the unit should be added to the approval flow using the Add Approver process.
If you change the PI, organization receiving funding, or answers to some compliance questions, the approval flow may change.
OSP depends on your answer to the Ready to Submit (RTS) question on the Certify & Route page. Until that question is answered Yes, OSP will not submit the application to the Sponsor.
Some sponsors allow a Department chair to sign an eGC1 and proposal on behalf of a PI in his or her department. This requires an Escalation of PI Certification which is indicated on the Certify & Route page of the eGC1.
Be sure to notify the appropriate reviewer to approve the application for him or herself, as well as for the PI.
For information on the approval of applications in the PI's absence, contact your department administrator/chair.
See the Reviewer Email Notifications user guide article for an overview and the Email Notifications Details article for information on who is notified and when.
Individuals with read-write access can add ad hoc approvers or watchers. Follow the steps in the Add an Ad Hoc Reviewer user guide article.
For IACUC, once your sponsor has indicated that you are likely to be funded for your grant application (that you have a fundable score) you will need to have the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) review your eGC1. Your application will be in Approved status at this time, so you will add them as a Watcher. This will send an email to the committee alerting them that their review is needed.
For a person to be a reviewer of all eGC1s submitted to your department, he or she needs to have the SAGE ASTRA (Access to Systems, Tools, Resources and Applications) role of Department or Center Reviewer for your organization code.
You can contact your department's ASTRA administrator to request this role assignment. If you do not know who your ASTRA administrator is, contact your department administrator or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
At this time, we do not send a notification when a new document is attached to your eGC1. The best strategy for tracking new documents is to check the Attached Documents page of your eGC1 regularly.
See the user guide information on how to Create a Copy of the Budget.
To enable another person to view and modify your budget, you must assign them read-write access. See the user guide article on assigning access.
Be sure to notify the person that they have been granted access to your budget, as the system will not automatically notify them.
SAGE Budget does not currently support cost sharing functionality.
There are several reasons your budget might be in read-only mode:
You can apply two or more F&A rates to your budget by using sub budgets. Include all the items to which the standard F&A rate applies in your main budget. Then create an Internal UW sub budget for any part of your proposal that requires a different F&A rate.
See the user guide article F&A Tab: Custom F&A Rates and Base Types for how to create a custom rate.
You will need to create a Subcontract type sub budget. See the Add a Sub Budget user guide article for details.
To apply a different F&A rate to your subcontractor budget, click the F&A tab on the Sub Budget Worksheet, type in the Subcontract F&A Rate, and then select the applicable Subcontract Base Type. You can also choose to use a custom base type.
Refer to your sponsor documentation to make sure you are applying F&A according to their specifications.
To do this, you must first set up a sub budget for your sub-contract. (Go to the Sub Budgets tab, click Add Sub Budget, enter a working title for the sub-contract budget, and then select Subcontract Budget from the Budget Type drop down menu.)
Navigate to the Salaries and Wages line of your subcontract budget worksheet, add a person to your sub-budget, and then click to the first period. At the bottom of the Personnel Details window, in the Benefit % textbox, enter the benefit rate you want to apply to the sub-contractor. You need to enter the custom benefit rate in this textbox for each budget period.
After you add the student to the Salaries and Wages line of your budget, you can specify the tuition rate under Personnel Details in the Quarterly Tuition Rate field.
Note: This field displays only after you select an appropriate student type from the UW Sub-Object Code drop-down menu.
See the Salary and Wages Update Periods user guide article for details and answers to other tuition questions.
To enable Targets & Limits, click the Properties tab, and then click the Edit Advanced Budget Settings link. At the bottom of the Advanced Settings window, select the Enable targets & limits checkbox to turn targets & limits on. Deselect the checkbox to turn targets & limits off. For more information see the Targets & Limits Tab article in the SAGE Budget user guide.
From the Targets & Limits tab, under Targets & Limits Settings, you can select Yes to Include auto-adjusting entries to reach target. Auto-adjusting entries let you set a period minimum and maximum amount for specific Budget Line Items and prioritize the order in which funds are allocated to each line item. Funds will be allocated to these auto-adjusting line item entries based on your budget target and the order in which you have prioritized the line items. For more information see the Targets & Limits Auto-Adjusting Entries article in the SAGE Budget user guide.
Yes. When you add a clinician to the Salaries and Wages line of your budget, both the UW Monthly Salary and Clinical Monthly Salary are included in the total Starting Monthly Salary. See the Salary and Wages Setup user guide article for more details.
No. To accommodate sponsor-defined salary caps, you must convert the annual cap to a monthly maximum salary, and then enter that amount in the Starting Monthly Salary field on the Personnel Details setup page. If your sponsor does not allow an annual increase to salary, be sure to change the Salary Inflation Rate % for each period to 0%. See the Salary and Wages Setup: Source Information user guide article for more details.
To adjust salaries for a person who will be holding two different positions over the life of the project, you need to add the person twice to the Salaries and Wages Line of your budget and select the appropriate UW Sub-Object Code for each position. Be sure to adjust the % effort appropriately for each period. The correct benefit rate will automatically be applied according to each position's Sub-Object Code.
See the Salary and Wages: Promotion Adjustment Scenarios article in the user guide for an example of how to set this up correctly.
SAGE Budget recognizes the approved benefit rates for the current fiscal year and the preliminary rates for the next fiscal year when they are available. When creating your budget, you can choose to use either just the current rates or current and preliminary rates. The system will use the appropriate rate based on the starting date of each period.
Once the preliminary rates are officially approved and available, you can easily update the benefit rates in your budget. Click the Properties tab. In the Global Attributes section, verify your choice of benefit rate type (current-only or preliminary), then click on the Update Benefit Rates link. This will update the rates for all personnel, for all periods.
To update just a specific individual, click the Salary and Wages line of your budget worksheet, click the name of the person whose benefit rate you want to update. Select Update Periods, and determine the first period in which the rates need to be updated. Under Benefits, click Update Rate. This will update the benefit rate for this person for the current period and all future budget periods.
See Connect Budget in the eGC1 Forms user guide for details.
Note: for a Grant Runner application using the RR Detailed Budget, your budget data will also overwrite any information you entered on the form.
All the data from your budget worksheet and from any sub-budget worksheets will be imported to your eGC1 for the budget period you selected and will automatically overwrite any information you entered on the eGC1 Budget page. By default, the totals for your budget will also be included.
See Connect Budget in the eGC1 Forms user guide for details.
There are three possible reasons why a budget period may not be available for connection:
See the SAGE Budget and eGC1 Shared Access Data user guide article for details.
Yes, provided the eGC1 is connected to a budget in SAGE and is already in routing. To withdraw the eGC1 from within SAGE Budget, go to the Budget History page, and click the eGC1 History & Comments link to view the Approvals History. (Note: The Approvals History is only available after an eGC1 is in routing.) From the Approvals History, click the Withdraw eGC1 link.
Note: If an eGC1 is marked as ready to submit and has In OSP status, it cannot be withdrawn. Instead, contact OSP and request they return the eGC1.
See the SAGE Budget and eGC1 Shared Access Data user guide article for details.
All of the required fields in your eGC1 must be filled out before you can route the eGC1 for approval. Click the Check for Errors link on the left navigation menu or the Certify & Route page to see any problems preventing your eGC1 from routing.
This same error list displays when you click the Route to Reviewers button if your eGC1 is missing any required data.
The printable eGC1 is displayed in a pop-up browser window. If pop-up blocking is turned on in your browser, it will keep the window from opening.
For instructions on how to enable pop-up windows within SAGE, see how to configure the pop-up blocker.
If you are still having problems printing from SAGE, there may be a problem with your computer, so please contact your unit's or department's technical team for assistance.

In a warning last summer to the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, President Obama said a "red line" would have been crossed if chemical weapons were used against rebels fighting there, and he promised "enormous consequences" if that were to happen.
According to news reports Thursday and a direct statement by the White House, that red line clearly has been crossed with chemical weapons used to kill between 100 and 150 people. But the White House was vague about its immediate response, other than to note it would "increase the scope and scale of assistance" to the anti-Assad rebels.
"Following a deliberative review, our intelligence community assesses that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin, on a small scale against the opposition multiple times in the last year," White House Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said in a statement. "Our intelligence community has high confidence in that assessment given multiple, independent streams of information."
"The intelligence community estimates that 100 to 150 people have died from detected chemical weapons attacks in Syria to date; however, casualty data is likely incomplete," Mr. Rhodes said, indicating that there may well be more casualties from chemical weapons.
"The body of information used to make this intelligence assessment includes reporting regarding Syrian officials planning and executing regime chemical weapons attacks; reporting that includes descriptions of the time, location, and means of attack; and descriptions of physiological symptoms that are consistent with exposure to a chemical weapons agent," Rhodes said.
In his earlier warning to Syria, Obama had said this: "We have been very clear to the Assad regime but also to other players on the ground that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons being moved around or utilized. There would be enormous consequences if we start seeing movements on the chemical weapons or use, that would change my calculations significantly."
"A whole bunch of chemical weapons" and "change my calculations significantly" are phrases designed for maximum flexibility.
But Obama has been under increasing pressure to do more about the situation in Syria, which has seen, according to the latest UN estimate, at least 93,000 people killed – most of them civilians – and thousands more turned into refugees trying to escape the fighting.
In recent weeks, Britain, France, Israel, and the United Nations all have asserted that Assad regime forces had used chemical weapons. Domestic political pressure has been mounting as well.
"It is long past time to bring the Assad regime's bloodshed in Syria to an end," Buck Brendan, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, said in a statement Thursday. "As President Obama examines his options, it is our hope he will properly consult with Congress before taking any action."
In a joint statement, Senators John McCain (R) of Arizona and Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina, who are pushing for the US and its allies to establish a no-fly zone in Syria, said, "We cannot afford to delay any longer."
"Assad is on the offensive with every weapon in his arsenal and with the complete support of his foreign allies," they said. "We must take more decisive actions now to turn the tide of the conflict in Syria."
More to the point for a Democratic President in the White House, former President Bill Clinton this week sided with that view, according to several reports from a private meeting at which Senator McCain and Mr. Clinton spoke.
"Some people say, 'Okay, see what a big mess it is? Stay out!' I think that's a big mistake," Clinton said.
"I agree with you about this," Clinton told McCain during an event for the McCain Institute for International Leadership in Manhattan Tuesday night, Politico.com reported. "Sometimes it's just best to get caught trying, as long as you don't overcommit."
At this point, the Obama administration is being less than specific in its response the "red line" report about chemical weapons killing rebel fighters and likely civilians in Syria.
"The Assad regime should know that its actions have led us to increase the scope and scale of assistance that we provide to the opposition," Ben Rhodes at the White House said. "These efforts will increase going forward."
"The United States and the international community have a number of other legal, financial, diplomatic, and military responses available," Rhodes said. "We are prepared for all contingencies, and we will make decisions on our own timeline."

The Democratic National Committee quickly chipped in with a parody video.
Everything seemed to be kicking into a higher gear for Mitt Romney going into Wednesday. He was talking "inevitability" after drubbing his opponents in the Illinois primary, Jeb Bush endorsed him, and his Super PAC has raked in $43 million, far more than President Obama's.
And then one of his top advisers just dropped an anvil on his foot, giving Romney a tag that we predict he will not live down through election day — and beyond — should he win: The Etch-A-Sketch Man.
It started when a CNN pundit asked Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom if there is "a concern that Santorum and Gingrich might force the governor to tack so far to the right it would hurt him with moderate voters in the general election."
"Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's like Etch A Sketch," he said. "You can shake it up and we start all over again."
Ouch. Romney's opponents — left and right — have crafted entire campaigns built on how Mitt is the consummate flip-flopper. Now, Mitt's own adviser has tattooed him with a pop culture image to match that perception. And it will …not …go…away.
For those of you unfortunate enough not to come of age during the post "Hair"-era, we're talking about a toy where you draw something on a screen using two knobs, then turn it upside down to erase it. Think of it as a Paleozoic iPad. One of these, complete with one of the first of the parodies that have arisen since daybreak:
The beatdown began immediately. Team Santorum sent a frenzied e-mail:
The Dems will be thumping this one for months. Bill Burton, the former Obama spokesman who now fronts his SuperPAC called it a "candid admission" of how Romney "is going to try to mask his right-wing, anti-middle class agenda in order to win the election."
The parodies have already started and it's not even noon on the West Coast. Here's one of the better ones.
Yes, Romney's opponents are stretching the context of what Fehrnstrom was saying. He was talking political consultant speak. Every campaign does sort of start over when the primaries are over and the general election starts. To paraphrase the great political strategist Richard Nixon (please, hold your applause), your run hard to the right in the primary and then pivot and run to the central in the general.
Here's the video of this moment that will frame the remaining part of the campaign:
Got to tip the cap to Santo's press team, which quickly put the device in Rick's hands:

Parkston's Riley Reiff Starts at Left Tackle for Detroit Lions Sunday Against the Minnesota Vikings
It will be a dream come true, and possibly a nightmare, all-in-one for Parkston native Riley Reiff Sunday when the Detroit Lions host the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field.
The former Iowa Hawkeye is the new starting left tackle in Detroit, the new protector of quarterback Matthew Stafford's blindside.
His first assignment? Block Jared Allen.
Reiff told Chris McCosky of the Detroit News the words excited and nervous come to mind:
I'd put both of those together.
I think any competitor gets nervous.
I think if you didn't get nervous you wouldn't have that (competitiveness) in you; you wouldn't be where you are at today.
Allen has dominated Detroit left tackles over the years, with 14.5 sacks, 44 tackles, four forced fumbles and an interception against the Lions since joining the Vikings in 2008.
Lions head coach Jim Schwartz has confidence in Detroit's first round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft:
That's going to be a tough matchup.
Reiff's first start was last year on Thanksgiving (against Houston).
He had some tough matchups on that game, too, and he did a good job in there.
Every time we put him in a game, he has gotten the job done for us.
Riley is a young player, but he's a very mature player.
He's a smart guy.
He's still growing and developing.
He's very serious about what he does and we're in good hands with him at left tackle.
Kickoff Sunday is at noon.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...These recipes both were originally developed to feed four or six people. Last week, it was necessary to double or triple the ingredients in order to feed the hungry mouths and hollow legs that gathered round the table. I made one salad, and the elder of my two daughters made the other. My cucumber salad was to accompany an Asian meal and her fancy slaw was part of a meal whose centerpiece was fresh fish tacos. The tacos were made with really fresh halibut and they were some of the best I've ever tasted. Kitchen limitations caused us both to take shortcuts and we used packaged vegetables that did away with the need to shred or julienne. I was unable to find English cucumbers, so I had to substitute the regular garden variety that is commonly found in supermarkets. My salad was delicious but it lacked the eye appeal I had hoped for. The slaw had lovely color and great crunch and it was a perfect topper for the tacos. When the time comes for me to relinquish my cooking crown, I know my family will not starve. There is an heir waiting in the wings. Both salads are delicious and each of them can be made in about 15 minutes. They are a great way to add substance and some texture to lighter summer meals. I think you will enjoy both of them. Here is how they are made.
Asian Cucumber Salad...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Alice Currah@Savory Sweet Life
3 English cucumber peeled and thinly sliced
1-1/2 cups shredded carrots
3/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1-1/2 cups of rice vinegar
3/4 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon Thai chili garlic sauce
Salt to taste
1) Combine vinegar, sugar, chili garlic sauce and salt in a microwave bowl. Microwave on HIGH power for 45 seconds. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
2) Combine cucumbers, carrots, and red onion in a large bowl. Pour vinaigrette over cucumber mixture and toss to coat. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Yield: 12 to 16 servings.
Cabbage, Pineapple and Peanut Salad...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Marie Simmons' Fresh and Fast Vegetarian Cookbook
2 (12-oz.) packages of shredded coleslaw
4 cups coarsely chopped pineapple
1 cup coarsely chopped dry-roasted peanuts
1 large jalapeno, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch slices
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup unseasoned Japanese rice vinegar
2 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
2 garlic clove, grated
2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
1) Combine cabbage, pineapple, peanuts and jalapeno in a large bowl.
2) To make dressing: Whisk oil, vinegar, garlic, ginger and salt in a small bowl until blended. Add to cabbage and toss to blend. Add cilantro, if using. Serve at room temperature. Yield: 12 to 16 servings.

Murder Party is a stealthy, murder mystery game, played out on a variety of 1920's ships.You're given a player to hunt down within a time limit, while acting, in turn, as a target for somebody else. You must kill your target secretly, without any other passengers, or on-board security, witnessing your crime. And of course, you must evade your own pursuer.
Your task is made trickier as you must also balance 'needs', such as companionship, eating, sleeping and cleanliness. Get caught napping (or in other more compromising situations) and you're not going to survive very long.
The Ship Full Steam Ahead
With the aid of this Kickstarter campaign, Blazing Griffin now wants to put together a sequel to The Ship.
This sequel, called The Ship: Full Steam Ahead, will continue in the same vein as its revolutionary predecessor, creating a richly detailed, uniquely engaging FPS, in which stealth and subterfuge are as important as gung-ho action.
- Lure your quarry into a quiet corner and kill them before they kill you, or bludgeon them messily and run for it.
- Commandeer the best weapon for dispatching your quarry, from umbrellas and golf clubs, to scalpels and firearms. Improvise in the heat of the moment. Locate items critical to your survival.
- Evade on-board security, including guards and monitoring equipment, as well as the hue-and-cry of other passengers. Avoid being spotted mid-murder and being banged up in the brig.
- Make meaningful gameplay decisions as you elude your pursuer and hunt down your quarry in the bowels of the ship. Take advantage of your quarry's needs, but neglect your own at your peril. Make use of special locations that offer medical repair or the advances of early Victorian psychiatry…
- Learn your world, from the devious locations, routes and security, to hidden passages, environmental traps, and extra special ways of murdering your quarry. Improvise, adapt, overcome.
- Richly customise your character. Dress to accentuate your individual mood or style, or change your clothes on a regular basis, throwing your pursuer off your trail while remaining anonymous to your quarry.
- Interact with a living ecosystem of industrious crew and unsuspecting passengers, where the inhabitants have their own routines and needs which can impact your gameplay experience, for good or for ill.
- Experience sumptuous graphics and haunting music, on-board a vividly realised, luxury liner. Explore a richly detailed and immersive world of luxurious, Victorian steampunk.
Our approachIn the first instance, our goal will be to recreate the core, multi-player, experience of the original game in a new steampunk world. At the same time, we'll bring the gameplay, sound and graphics right up-to-date.
How you can help
We need your help to get this game on to PC and other platforms.
Making the game we want you to have will involve our dedicated team, as well as new talent and tools. So we're asking fans of the original game -- and everyone else who likes the sound of Full Steam Ahead -- to make a pledge right here on Kickstarter.
In return, backers can gain a selection of great rewards including alpha and beta access to the game, and a selection of limited edition steampunk goodies.
Beyond the funds asked for here on Kickstarter, we'll develop new content for the game as funds become available. But if we exceed our Kickstarter target, we'll be able to produce more of our expansion material, sooner.
So pledge now, no matter how small. Every pound – or dollar – will help us make The Ship: Full Steam Ahead into a truly fantastic game.
"One is bored… You, lackey, create an alternative reality for The Ship: a Steampunk world – a most audacious sequel wot is crafted from coal and brass, and wot has one in it."
–– Her most imperious Majesty, Queen Victoria, at GAME & Son, Piccadilly, 2012.
Yes, my friend – by imagined royal appointment, no less – our navvies here at BlazingGriffin will soon be pounding out white-hot ingots of C++ in the vast coding foundries that put the 'great' in Great Britain, transforming The Ship – an already awesome game on Mr Babbage's Steam Emporia – into its very own, steamed up and punky sequel: The Ship: Full Steam Ahead.
This sequel will take you back to the Colonial Era of the British Empire, where men were strapping chaps, women wore six-barrelled guns in their garters, and Victorian England was thriving in an alternate time-line powered by steam.
Did we mention the Steampunk?
Ah, the smell of coal dust; the worrying hack of TB in the lungs; the clank of a mechanical servitor thwacking a villain with a hickory-handled five iron…
In the spirit of the original, 1920's game, The Ship: Full Steam Ahead will let you dress up in your Steampunk finery, travel on Victoria's finest shippage, and 'drub' the enemies of the Empire, while those self-same scoundrels, attempt to murder you. You'll get to play in an evocative, Victorian environment, where eating, sleeping, and promenading (as well as unmentionable ablutions) are just as important as murdering your shipmates. After all, one must have some sense of decorum, don't you think?
Going beyond this 'hundredweight' of original gameplay, we'll be embracing the rather risqué craze of 'open development', waving our merry kerchiefs with much hulabaloo, and setting sail for gameplay unknown. We have plenty of ideas for new features, but most importantly, we want to create something new and rather daring with input from YOU -- our most noble players.
In short, now is the time to prime your gas gun and don your mechanical timepiece…
"You, sir. A trip to the Indies, you say? Why, give us that penny, and we'll give you a world of steam and high adventure!"
–– Sir Chitlin Wynthrop, The J. Noobington Home for Wayward Gamers.
We need your shillings and sixpences to build The Ship: Full Steam Ahead.
This is an ambitious project – one for which a stiff-upper-lip, a cold mustard compress, and a stout truss have undoubtedly prepared us. But there's no doubt that the renovation of The Ship is going to give us a 'discommodious swelling of the brain' and a 'furious griping of the bowels' without the patent cure of funds.
To this end, the monies gathered by Messrs' Kickstarter Esq. will allows us to:
- Pay everyone: these days, it seems, it's the 'done thing' to recompense to the working classes. That includes our business folk, designers, coding navvies and artistic wallas, as well as our specialists in the field of auditory, acoustic engineering.
- Change our engine: replacing the technological marvel that is The Ship's resilient – though somewhat antiquated – engine. The scale of this task may be imagined as a rather modest canal-building project, using desks and keyboards instead of shovels. The use of flat caps will, of course, be mandatory.
- Rebuild the core game: recreating the core of the old game in its new genre. How else might we regale the world with our thrillingly eccentric creations, such as new gameplay, environments, weapons, and passengers, and some 'banging good tunes' – all in a most gratifying Steampunk styley? This will be a slim slice of the multiplayer game, but one of merchantable quality.
- Create a content delivery platform: so we can deliver our new, anabaric wonders without recourse to a pony and trap, or the laying of a new trans-Atlantic cable.
- Promote and market the game: so we can aggrandise ourselves in the most prestigious periodicals. Such shameless promotion will help us sell our tenacious product, and thus self-fund future expansion of The Ship: Full Steam Ahead, the Empire, and possible sequels.
- Localise our content: so that those in the colonies as well as London may enjoy our loquacious quips.
As we're a small team bootstrapping The Ship: Full Steam Ahead into existence, Blazing Griffin's patronage of the 'Indies' and other such development communities is entirely assured. You'll definitely have an opportunity to tell us what you think, or what you'd improve. Scared we'll break this fiendish contraption? Forego the formalities, drop by and have your say!
In the meantime, we do hope you'll be compelled to join us on this adventure of brash derring-do…
"Come Pip. Invest in my bridal cake business and you shall have Shwag aplenty".
–– Miss Haggis 'n' Ham, Great Expectations.
What might you expect for your most liberal financial backing? More than just war bonds from the British East Indian Co., you may hope. And you'd be right! Some of our more rousing rewards include:
- A Copy of The Ship: Full Steam Ahead (or the equivalent in paid downloadable content): as soon as our ironclad behemoth of Victorian gaming glides down the slips, you'll be able to 'socialise' with your fellow backers, ensuring steampunk accoutrements, dandified pugilistic skills, and fine breeding are their prima 'causa mortis'.
- Copies of The Ship: Murder Party: intrigued by the futuristic 1920's? This is your chance to play The Ship 'classic'. Despite our current attempts to overhaul the boiler, The Ship is still a most excellent game and you'll get five copies (one for you, two for your friends, and two for their friends). With these degrees of separation, you may end up playing Sir Kevin Bacon…
- Beta, Alpha, or Pre-Alpha Access: gain a formal introduction to our new features before everyone else and avoid the embarrassment over 'which fork to use'... as a weapon. Ask your questions or contribute to our daring designs via Her Majesty's World-Wide-Telegraph. Our operators will be standing by to connect some of the greatest minds of our century, with nothing more than fine elocution and patch cables.
- T-shirts: those of a delicate disposition have been known to become 'quite overcome' at the sight of our strapping young men wearing these excellent Imperial T's. Note the quality of the decorative embroidery and the heft of that colonial workmanship. And, by God, the ladies are wearing them too (tailored to support side saddle and the low gravity of space)…
- Badges (or for those in the Americas, 'buttons'): feel some metal at your breast, sir, with these most excellent charms from the Orient. Guaranteed to deflect arrows coated in the deadly secretions of Dendrobates Azureus should you be caught short in the Amazon.
- Credit: achieve the credit you deserve before the upper classes purloin your last morsel of self-respect.
- Wallpaper: why not line the inside of your digital devices with our wallpaper – presumably to accommodate the storage of socks, garters or monogrammed articles of a more feminine nature.
- An Honest-to-God Raygun: Johnny Alien won't 'like it up him' with this finely crafted Martian sidearm. Set the dial to 'one' for cocoa, 'six' to sauté a can of Bully Beef, or 'twelve' to cut through the hull plating of a Venusian Attack Barge. "Vlahuk nik Vlahhhargh!" as they say on the Eastern Craters!
- Poster Map: deck-plans and engineering schematics of the Imperial fleet. Revel in our secret locations and placements of devious devices. Alternatively, cover that annoying hole in the lath and plaster…
- Stickers: a novel use for the rare, Carpathian butterfly and the best horse-glue money can buy.
- Soundtrack: MP3's from, or inspired by, our steampunk soundtrack. Enjoy 'Algy, the Piccadilly Johnnie' lovingly transcribed into this modern, wax-free format by the Worthington Ladies Society for the Renovation of Shipping.
- Limited Edition Character Model: our artisans wanted to make something wholesome, as behoves our temperent ways – perhaps involving kittens in formal wear – but some lower-class near-do-well got into the castings and made a limited run of his own visage. Clearly illiterate, the poor chap could only sign his moniker as a simple 'X'.
- Your Name or Image in the Game: frighten the in-laws with garish tales of how you were one miniaturized by an occult order of the Illuminatum and placed within the bowels of a fearsome engine. Mr Verne, himself, could scarcely imagine it!
- Our Most Esteemed Thanks: a huzzah, a virtual clap on the back, and a 'dashed jolly good show!' for good measure. There will be no inappropriate hugging.
Don't be a Johnny/Jenny-come-lately. Come on you strapping young chaps, and daring young ladies, do it for Queen and Country! And if not for them, then do it for those charitable souls of the Worthington Ladies Society for the Renovation of Shipping. We need your money, now, more than ever!
Every brass farthing counts.
(Signed) Sir Reginald, Accrington Willoughby,
Protector of the Empire,
Her Majesty's Patents Office.
Long live the Queen! Huzzah!
Releases for The Ship: Full Steam Ahead will be coming in the year of Victoria's reign, twenty hundred and fourteen on steam-powered Personal Computational devices throughout the Empire and beyond [PC, Early 2014].
IN THE EVENT OF PENURY: Should you be robbed of all monies, do not despair. You can still help us in our noble endeavour: tell your friends about us. Good word of mouth is worth its weight in fine porcelain, Heidsieck's Goût Américain Champagne, or a modest traction engine.
Risks and challenges
You wouldn't be the free-wheeling, Ship-loving entrepreneur we hope you are, if you didn't at least enquire into the risks of our immodest venture.
We respect that.
In an effort to be more forthright in our declamations, I shall henceforth doff the top hat and speak 'modern':
The Ship: Full Steam Ahead is in concept just now and will soon be entering pre-production. That means we're developing concept work, story, and getting ready to prototype. As such, we're at a very early stage of the game's development and we've got a lot of stuff to build.
The Ship may be an existing product, but it will be an entirely new team developing Full Steam Ahead. Can Blazing Griffin make this game?
We may be a new team, but we have experienced staff and we'll be hiring more. Making this game is one of the main reasons we started the company. We wouldn't be here if we didn't think we could pull it together.
We don't have a playable version of Full Steam Ahead, *yet*, but we do have the original game and we know that's fun.
Our goal is to recreate the core mechanics of the Ship in a new steampunk environment. Once that's up and running, then we'll modularly enhance the game with new content.
This form of open development will mean the game will grow rather than 'arrive' and players will be able to try out and feed into additions as we go. We should be 'building on fun' (or at least good promise) from a fairly early stage, and the whole project will be substantially less risky, as we're not holding out for one huge, distant release. You'll also be able to see everything as we go, warts 'n' all.
£128K doesn't sound like a lot for this type of game. Won't you need more?
£128K will be enough to recreate The Ship's core multi-player experience in The Ship: Full Steam Ahead. The new game will be a merchantable product, you'll be able to have fun playing it, and we'll continue to develop content for it beyond the Kickstarter release. If we exceed our target, we'll be able to produce more of our expansion material, sooner.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Michael Kors Review | Fashion Week Fall 2013
Michael Kors Fall 2013
Michael Kors Fall 2013
Michael Kors's Fall 2013 show: the Fashion Week moment that got Carine Roitfeld, Giovanna Battaglia, and Karolina Kurkova shimmy-shaking in their seats to the upbeat dance music on the soundtrack. Who could resist Michael Kors's patented combination of ultra-luxe fabrics and perfect tailoring, with more than a dash of private jet traveler thrown into the mix? Furs ruled, turning up in cutout stoles and camo "print" coats. Orange and cobalt provided jolts of color to black knits and tweed pencil skirts. Karlie Kloss closed the show in a jewel-encrusted mini with a trailing black train. And if that didn't make you want to get out of your seat and shake it too, maybe it's time to check your temperature.

Picture this: a senior executive from a big PR agency quits to set up on their own and is allowed to take the clients they work with – all with their former boss's blessing. No restrictions on who they can approach, no legal wrangles, just a goodbye and good luck. This is no fairy story – though a non-disclosure agreement means that those involved cannot talk about it – but amicable splits like this are becoming rarer than unicorn horns.
The fact is that most agencies restrict what staff can do when they leave, and for good reason. "An agency is not some kind of open house where you draw a salary, build client relationships and then steal the business," points out College Hill founder Alex Sandberg, now set up on his own as an independent consultant under the Averdant banner.
Without exception, everyone to whom PRWeek spoke was sympathetic to this principle. Contracts typically include three restricted covenants: essentially, you are not allowed to try to poach either staff or clients after you leave your job until a fixed period of time has elapsed (for example, six months) and you cannot work in competition with your former employer for a similar period, either on your own or as someone else's staffer.
"You really can't tolerate someone walking out with a load of business that isn't theirs," says one agency boss. "Clients are also an issue," points out another senior industry source. "From time to time they are deeply dishonourable. You can find clients wooing your staff away with the promise of great riches. Household brands have nicked people."
Clearly, agencies need to protect against this. However, observers have noticed that the way this is done is becoming increasingly unfair. Some non-compete clauses have become staggeringly restrictive; frankly, there are apocalyptic-cult leaders who demand less loyalty from their followers.
"There are a lot of bad contracts being signed out there," one agency CEO says. "Some agencies have made their staff sign awful things. We saw a contract recently where the person leaving was prohibited from working anywhere that, and I paraphrase, 'does something similar to us' for a year. Unless you're leaving PR to be a teacher, you're screwed. You need to compensate someone very well if you're buying them out of the ability to work. The agency wasn't going to pay for their time, it just stopped them working. There is some very aggressive behaviour around but that is the worst that I've seen. Six months, yes, but I've never seen a year before."
Bully-boy tactics
This is not an isolated case. "A lot of bully-boy tactics are going on in the marketplace," says one agency veteran. "Something needs to be done about it because it's a negative force in an industry that is meant to be about creativity and freedom. The trouble is that, nine times out of ten, employers have more money in the bank than individuals." If you find yourself as an individual up against a big corporate, "it's quite scary", says another.
In the past few years, well-publicised cases such as Weber Shandwick pursuing Hill+Knowlton Strategies through the Texas courts after two of its former executives moved to the rival agency could suggest that large multinational marcoms players are among those most likely to enforce what they believe to be their rights. But Sandberg suggests smaller agencies might do well to protect their business interests in the same way. "Someone does the dirty and the agency goes all weak at the knees and declines to enforce the contract," he says. "No other professional services industry would tolerate it. I don't think that it would happen at Goldman Sachs – so why do you get it in our trade?"
Anecdotal evidence suggests a number of agencies – not all of them large – agree. While enforcing contracts is one thing, the real problem comes when good human resources practice leads to what might politely be termed 'gamesmanship', which in turn tips over into contractual bullying.
Another agency boss thinks a couple of factors are at play in restrictive contracts, one of which is today's challenging economic circumstances leading to people keeping a tight grip on the business they have. "It's partly recession," he suggests. "But it's also the size of corporates – the big agency groups are getting bigger and often the people at the top of those corporate piles are far removed from the spirit of setting up, of entrepreneurship."
Young agencies can find themselves in legal difficulties when they attempt to hire people who are locked down by contract issues. "It's a vicious circle," says former Citizen Brando chairman Nick Band, who relaunched his strategic consultancy Berlin a year ago after being forced by his former employer to close it after a legal wrangle. "It's damaging to enterprise and creativity," he adds. While some start-ups declined to speak about this, even off the record, the founder of another recently formed agency said: "I'd be amazed if contracts weren't getting more restrictive. I'd be looking to protect my client base as best I could."
As a very broad rule of thumb, the longer a non-compete clause is, the harder it is to stand it up in a court of law – but well-drafted documents with lengthy restrictions might still be persuasive to a judge. One way around this would be for people to take more notice of what restrictions they will and will not accept as part of job negotiations in the first place. "That won't happen," laughs one corporate comms veteran. "The hiring process is like falling in love: at that stage you're not thinking about the end. It would be like saying 'darling, will you marry me? And by the way, I want to be cremated'."
Peter Morel, employment law expert and founder of Kennedy Cater, agrees but stresses that the beginning of a relationship is exactly when these issues should be addressed. "When a prospective employer is courting you, every clause in the proposed employment contract needs to be considered carefully, in particular those clauses that impose post-termination restrictions," he says. "If divorce comes, it is those clauses that will govern the break-up. Onerous restrictions might inhibit a former employee's ability to earn for months after they have ceased to be paid by their former employer."
Take contracts seriously
People tend to negotiate hard on salary and benefits, but usually have a blind spot for the small print governing the back end of their contract. "It is a mistake for individuals and companies to think that they are not worth the paper they are written on," Morel continues. "Increasingly, the real value in many businesses is the human capital working within it. PR is a good example of this. Courts are quite prepared to uphold restrictions freely entered into if the employer has a legitimate, narrowly defined business interest to protect."
"Anyone who joins an agency needs to take their contract seriously," adds Nan Williams, group chief executive of Four Communications. This includes reviewing key terms and being happy to live with them. "If restrictions are unreasonable they will probably not be able to be upheld in any case," she says.
The lesson in all this is a simple one: everyone needs to read their contract carefully before signing it, and preferably only after consulting a lawyer. But it is equally true that agencies might think twice about putting highly restrictive clauses into contracts in the first place. Yes, they may well be unenforceable – but it is clearly done in some cases on the basis that individuals are unlikely to want to risk legal action and the professional stigma and costs that action may entail. For now, the practice of unreasonable contract demands may still be in play, but it is up to the industry to change the game.

In this performance, (entitled glitterbug) I dressed up as a glitterbug and made little creature-things to place on shelves. These creature-things were made out of rudamentery materials, such as paper-clay, water based paint, sequins and glitter. I had a helper get people to make drawings of "bug-alien creatures" which were then placed to the side of this character. The character would then look at these drawings occassionally, which they used as inspiration for making the creature-things. This performance took place over the entire two-hour student annual opening.

Brits are drunk in 76 percent of photos that they're tagged in on Facebook, reports the Telegraph.
According to a study conducted by photo storage website MyMemory, over three-quarters of photos were taken either with alcohol or after the consumption of alcohol. It was also reported that 93 percent of Facebook users in Britain had de-tagged or deleted photos deemed to show them embarrassingly drunk.
Additionally, Mashable notes that 56 percent of users said they wouldn't want co-workers to see their drunk photos while eight percent admitted to having photos that could cause serious trouble if discovered by a colleague.
The study questioned 1,781 users in total. And, of course, over a quarter of these (26 percent) allow anyone access to their photos.

Frank C. Whittelsey of Sun Valley, Idaho, passed away peacefully on January 29, 2008, at his vacation home in Vero Beach, Florida, after a heroic 14-year battle with cancer. Frank and his wife, Lynn, owned a vacation home for many years on the Airport Road in Warren. They left The Valley for Idaho about 10 years ago but still retained close ties to their many friends here.
Frank, like many of us, came to the Mad River Valley to ski. I am not sure when he first arrived but I think it was in the middle or late '60s after Sugarbush was established. He was a good skier and a real gentleman of the old school. Sticking my neck out, I would say that two of the people he admired most in The Valley were Holly Ward, captain of the Sugarbush Polo Team, and Hans Estin, founder of Ski Club 10 at Sugarbush; both of these men were accomplished sportsmen with real leadership qualities.
Frank joined the polo club some 20 years ago, but, because of time and distance, he did not have the opportunity to become proficient in this sport. Frank was a traditionalist; he liked things done the right way or the old way. On a horse buying trip to Florida, I nicknamed him F. Scott Whittelsey because I visualized him living in the roaring '20s of the Fitzgerald era.
About 15 years ago, we were fortunate to have Frank join the board of directors of the Mad River Valley Community Fund where he was a generous and compassionate contributor. The fund also benefited from his investment ability.
When I last spoke with him in January he was optimistic that he was holding his own and was looking forward to attending his 50th at Bowdoin College where I graduated from some 10 years before Frank. I am sorry, and I am sure his class is too, that he did not make that trip.

Sam is basically right, he's just cranky.
What have you got against intellectual midgets? They're quite smart little guys as far as i can tell.
What would happen if I opened a "Whites-only school?", I would be a despicable Racist. If I opened, however, an Asian-only school, this is apparently fine. This Stupid Political Correctness Double Standrad annoys me to the point of insanity: My sister was watching TV the other day, and I looked at the presenters of the show. An Asian, a Black, an Arab, an Oriental, A Latino....where was the white Caucasian? No-where to be seen.

All Items : Women's Vanity : Pre 1940 item #1244453
Geri and Dan Tucker
$15.00 as - is
$15.00 as - is
This white milk glass candy, or powder jar lid was made during the depression era by a company unknown to us. The base has drum decorations on it suggesting the Civil War, but we only have the lid. There is a small sliver off of the right hand side of the barrel.
All Items : Women's Vanity : Pre 1950 item #1151279
Geri and Dan Tucker
This amber 2 piece covered powder jar was made by The Paden City Glass Co. in the 1940's. It was used for a powder jar, or a "rings and things" storage jar. The top lifts off for access to the storage area. Women used these on their dressers to remind them of the boys overseas.
All Items : Women's Vanity : Pre 1940 item #1094830
Geri and Dan Tucker
This delphite blue, or chalaine blue powder jar is hand painted with a floral decoration and is in excellent condition. It has a triangular shaped knob on it and still has the powder puff inside. We are unsure of the maker but estimate it to be from the late 1920's, or early 1930's, and was probably made by either McKee Glass, or Jeannette Glass Co. It is a true powder jar and has a round compartment in it and no other compartments offset inside like some other ones we have seen.

Badali Jewelry Special Price $39.00 (Normally $50.00)
Inspired by The Hobbit ® and The Lord of the Rings™, the immortal works by J.R.R. Tolkien, comes the Bronze Thrór's Key™ Key Chain. Each Thrór's Key is carefully handcrafted one at a time in precious metal by the Badali Jewelry artists. This item is an officially licensed The Hobbit replica with Middle-earth Enterprises.
It is easy to forget that the events of The Hobbit were hinged on a very simple object, a secret key that would open a secret door. This was Thrór's Key. Thorin Oakenshield's™ Dwarven party desired to reclaim the Lonely Mountain™ from Smaug™, The Dragon, more than anything. The answer to the dwarves' quest was a map, a door and a key created in secret by Thorin's grandfather, Thrór. Gandalf ® presents Thorin with this secret key when the party joins together at Bilbo Baggins™ home.
"Here it is!" he said, and handed to Thorin a key with a long barrel and intricate wards, made of silver. "Keep it safe!"™
The barrel of the key is engraved in Dwarvish Runes with the same phrase that is found on Thrór's map: "Five Feet High The Door, And Three May Walk Abreast. TH * TH"™ (The TH runes are Thror's signature).
Thrór's Key is made of white finished bronze and is hand finished with black antiquing to give the key an aged look. The Dwarven Key charm measures approximately 72.4 mm (2 7/8") long, 25.2 mm (1") wide and 3.7 mm (just over 1/8") at the thickest point. The key weighs approximately 15.1 grams. Includes a nickel plated key ring.
We are a cast-to-order company and cast every Tuesday and Thursday. Please allow 5 to 7 days from the next casting date for production of this item. Orders placed before 3pm MST Monday or Wednesday will be included in the following day's cast. Feel free to contact us for the anticipated production time for your Hobbit Jewelry.
This item comes packaged in a satin jewelry pouch with a Card of Authenticity.

This week, the "Arts, Briefly" section of The New York Times included the rather offhand announcement that the Met "recently reached an agreement with the authorities at the Cairo Opera House to show productions there this season." Audiences in distant Cairo will now be privy (via the company's series of Live in HD transmissions) to a whole slew of performances taking place on the Met stage even as they watch.
We take such technological marvels in stride nowadays, but what, one wonders, would Verdi have made of this development? Back in 1871, it took endless, painstaking negotiations to arrange for the world premiere of his Aida at Cairo's Khedivial Opera House, and in the event the proposed January opening fell victim to the Franco–Prussian War, which trapped the sets and costumes (not to mention the scenarist, Auguste Mariette) in Paris. Verdi had to wait another eleven months before the project came to fruition, and it took place without the composer in attendance, as he had decided the trip was too arduous to be worthwhile.
Could any of the participants in that cultural milestone for Cairo have imagined that one day whole seasons of opera from another continent could be wafted over the airwaves to Egyptian shores?

Today's jobless claims report showed an decline to initial unemployment claims and a flattening to continued unemployment claims while seasonally adjusted initial claims remained below the closely watched 400K level.
Seasonally adjusted "initial" declined to 387,000 claims from last week's revised 389,000 claims while seasonally adjusted "continued" claims went flat resulting in an "insured" unemployment rate of 2.6%.
Since the middle of 2008 though, two federal government sponsored "extended" unemployment benefit programs (the "extended benefits" and "EUC 2008" from recent legislation) have been picking up claimants that have fallen off of the traditional unemployment benefits rolls.
Currently there are some 2.64 million people receiving federal "extended" unemployment benefits.
Taken together with the latest 3.09 million people that are currently counted as receiving traditional continued unemployment benefits, there are 5.73 million people on state and federal unemployment rolls.
