Skip to comments.Will new fed guidelines force companies to hire more employees with criminal pasts?
Posted on 02/24/2013 6:02:21 PM PST by Red in Blue PA
Employers could be pressured to hire more workers with a criminal background under recent guidelines issued by the federal government. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commissions guidelines warn businesses about rejecting minority applicants who have committed a crime and recommend they eliminate policies that exclude people from employment based on a criminal record. The EEOC says civil rights laws already prohibit different treatment for job applicants who are of a different ethnic background but have identical criminal histories. The update was issued out of concern that employers might disproportionally exclude minorities from getting hired because more African Americans and Hispanics are getting arrested and going to prison, according to the guideline report.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Mysteriouslyunless not the least bit mysteriouslythe average convicted felon's criminal history is more readily comprehensible than President You Didn't Build That's.
The new federal laws mandate hiring democrats.
I watched Atlas Shrugged 2 last night. Reading these headlines day after day with this corrupt and tyrannical administration is like living in an Ayn Rand novel.
One would think, inasmuch as the messiah was calling for a national police force, these ex-cons will be recruited for Homeland Security jobs. Wow! Are we upside down or what!
Notice it says minorities. Guess the white ex-con is screwed.
People who choose to prey on the innocent have obstacles to overcome. That process should not be done for them. And that crap about how they 'paid their debt' to society by sitting in a prison, doing drugs, watching cable TV, and being fed on the taxpayers dime is crap.
This horrible idea is a perverse incentive that will encourage crime. Wait, you'll see... Or look to Detroit where it's already happening and ask yourself if that's how you want your country to look..
Hey Newbie, what do you think of this law?
Does that mean Jon Corzine can steal billions...I mean, find work again?
This will do wonders for the unemployment rate....
Wana hire some one? naa.. we'll do with out.
How will you know if they send an ex con to your home I bet that information will not and can not be provided to the customer.
Well I don't see anything wrong with sending a serial killer/intern to work for let's say any democrats offices.
I swear every day I get closer and closer to just moving myself and my company out of the US. We'll see...
Obama voters voted specifically for this. Do not let them off the hook. They voted for Benghazi, they voted for The Iranian bomb, they voted for the North Korean ICBM, and they voted for this. Remind them of it.
>>Well I dont see anything wrong with sending a serial killer/intern to work for lets say any democrats offices.<<
Let's start by level in the party. I mean, there is no risk so no problem.
The trial lawyers have got to be doing the "happy dance" over this. The lawsuits are going to be rolling in.
So I take it now that our esteemed betters in Washington will hire ex-cons for their interns?
LOL - they usually exempt themselves from the laws they pass... but in this case they already might have more than enough crooks in their ranks to satisfy any 'quota'. If this law passes companies that don't have enough ex-cons will have to pass over the qualified honest people in order to hire the losers. Wouldn't that be a great message to send to an honest hard working young person? "You didn't get the job because an ax murderer had the edge... and we have a quota to fill..."
Either a person has value to a business or he doesn't. The market will sort out the rest. Unfortunately, the government provides no guarantee that a criminal has served his time. It is sort of shame that the EEOC is pushing their weight around when money spent on the EEOC could be spent of making criminals go straight and someday contribute to society. It would be good for the ex-con as well as society, and a hell of a lot cheaper.
If they served their time. Then it shouldn't matter.
So, where to put all these new employee/crooks? The Diversity positions are already filled. Perhaps these ex-cons can be assistant Diversity czars.
"If they served their time. Then it shouldnt matter."
Cool. YOU hire them to guard YOUR home, take care of YOUR child, safeguard YOUR company's finances. Don't force ME to hire them!
Also it should really depend on the severity of the crime. IE. RAPE/MURDER/Pedophilia/THEFT.
But still, down your time. I don't think you should be continually punished.
But forcing companies to hire these people over other people is completely ridiculous.
You really are a knee jerk liberal, aren't you.
You favor the government forcing me to hire smokers and now criminals. Is there any form of discrimination that you would allow an employer to engage in? Or should the government just pick and choose who I should hire?
I do believe that you are not a long time lurker looking for new FRiends, but just a Liberty hating troll.
BTW have you decided whether or not you are going to sue the employer for not hiring you because you smoke?
The next thing you will be advocating is the government prohibiting employers from discriminating against disgruntled employees who have sued their prior employers.
Am I right?
Should I forced to overlook the fact that you sued some other employer for some silly feel-good liberty robbing labor law violation?
Why should ex-criminals, EVEN petty criminals be denied employment after their time is served. I don't know if you know this or not but a LOT of people that get out of jail want to do better with themselves, once they find out they can't. They go back to crime to survive.
I would gladly hire an ex con to guard my home, or take care of my child, or safeguard my companies finances. They've paid their debt to society. Maybe they made one mistake. It shouldn't haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Troll Alert!
"The update was issued out of concern that employers might disproportionally exclude minorities from getting hired because more African Americans and Hispanics are getting arrested and going to prison."
IOW blacks & Hispanics disproportionally commit crimes.
That's insane. It's their business, and employers should be able to sort prospective employees into classes: (1) unqualified, (2) fully qualified, (3) best qualified.
And they should be able to use criteria important to their business. If your smoking is going to cost that employee thousands more in health and lost time costs, then that employer has good reason to pick someone other than you who might even be slightly less qualified.
If it's right for the government to tell me how to run my business or there will be consequences, then it's also right for the government to tell you to quit smoking or there will be consequences. In other words, you are advocating big government controlling our personal and professional lives.
As a newbie you probably don't realize that long-time conservative Freepers protect this site from those who come across right away as liberal trolls. You have definitely walked that line wanting to sue over smoking and wanting to force companies to hire ex-convicts.
Thinking that a longtime Freeper is going to get zotted for calling you on this stuff is a pipe dream. It won't happen.
However....actual liberal trolls....they have a good shot at meeting the Viking Kitties.
IBTZ, DU troll.
yeah, right.
If someone proves themselves reliable then of course they should be hired. And there are people who turn their lives around. But it's also time to get real - most of these losers will stay the way they are or get worse. And it has nothing to do with someone 'giving' them anything. Or not 'giving' them something. It has to do with their choices. Most of them chose the 'easy unethical' way because they're lazy, stupid and mean. That's also why no one wants to hire them.
What's being offered is a new quota system. Let me explain because it's not being advertised as another quota system, but it is one...
Two people apply for a job - one is hard working, honest and has a great referencesfrom his previous job. The other person is a lowlife who has spent his life stealing, lying, and manipulating anyone he comes in contact with... He was arrested for stealing from his last boss and beating up his girlfriend and her illegitimate child... He's never worked a 'hard' month in his life because he's too good for hard work. You know the type Freedom - long on self-pity and excuses - short on truth and a work ethic...
Let's say the assh*les in Washington have passed the new quota law - and the company MUST hire the criminals. And not just one - not just one incompetent - not just one mean lowlife, but hundreds of them... Why hundreds? Because the company has to make up for all the years they've been hiring honest decent people...
So the honest hard working person doesn't get the job - and the criminal does... That's a reward. And an incentive. And a very perverse one at that...
There are ways to assist criminals without making a life of crime MORE profitable....
And who are you to judge? Do you own a business? Have you ever owned a business where you had to deal with employees?
Whether or not things should be used in job consideration is nobody's business except the owner of the business. You advocate laws which prohibit owners of businesses from picking and choosing employees based on their own individual criteria and instead you favor using THE POWER OF THE STATE to force that employer to overlook certain character flaws in potential employees, such as being stupid enough to smoke cigarettes or being stupid enough and evil enough to get convicted of a crime.
Youre obviously a paid shill.
And who is paying me to shill? What, do you think I'm being paid by the tobacco lobby (which managed to get the law on the books prohibiting employers from discriminating on the basis that a person smokes)?
Demeaning other conservatives with your closed-mindedness.
Ah Ha! You think because I am advocating for the liberty of employers and for Constitutional limited government that I am closed minded and that you, who are here advocating nanny state laws designed to give special employment rights to smokers and drug dealers and embezzelers and other morally bankrupt job applicants, are somehow an open minded "CONSERVATIVE"?
Since you have been on this forum you have advocated for laws that restrict an individual from exercising whatever discretion they want in picking and choosing whom they will put on their payroll. You have yet to post even one post on this forum where you advocate anything other than a Nanny State agenda.
I dont advocate government control of anything, yet if it HAS TO BE THAT WAY, you still have to follow the law.
And when they pass a law taking away your Liberty instead of granting you someone else's liberty are you going to obey the law?
When they come to take away your guns are you going to comply with the law?
When they force you to take wedding pictures at a gay wedding, are you going to comply with the law?
When they tell you that in order to work at a hospital, you have to be certified as an abortionist, are you going to comply with that law?
You have not established your conservative credentials on this forum yet. So far you have established only that you are a whiny knee jerk Nanny Stater who advocates for laws restricting the rights of employers to hire or fire who they want for whatever reason they want.
I suspect you would also advocate for safer guns and safer bullets, higher minimum wage laws, forced health coverage for employees; prohibitions against discriminating against gays, atheists, people with tattoos on their faces, people with rings in the noses, cross dressers, pathological liars, people with criminal records, people who file lawsuits against their prior employers.... the list goes on.
And you call yourself a conservative?
Tell me what single conservative position have you espoused since you signed up for Free Republic.
Ok, that, my FRiend is the clear and unequivocal statement of a died in the wool nanny state liberal.
And FWIW, died in the wool nanny state liberals shouldn't be allowed to pretend to be conservatives on Free Republic.
You will find that the owners of this site are very discriminating. Out yourself as a liberal troll and out you go.
I smell Ozone in the air.
Are there any Viking Kitties in the area?
Well said by the both of you.
If the newbie claimed to be a long time lurker before signing up and posting these clearly lib views either s/he didn't learn anything from lurking or they're not being honest.
Liberal troll seems to fit pretty well at this point.
Tell me this before you keep calling me a liberal troll.
Pick 1.
Fired because www.freerepublic.com was on your web history.
Fired because company finds out you own guns.
Fired because you are a registered republican.
Fired because you were trained in the military, and they don't want dangerous people around.
Fired because you had a drink at a bar after work.
Do you becoming angry, or write them a letter telling them how great it is that they preserve Liberty?
I am not a troll, and you did not post the rest of quote.
I came here to learn, and you shun me away. I came here on no ones accord but my own, and am a frequent visitor of the site.
The way it stands is not fair.
All you have to do is look at this ridiculous law forcing employers to hire convicts, to see my point.
Cannot discriminate against gays. But can discriminate against smokers.
I'm just angry because I have been looking for work for a long time, eating macaroni and cheese and top ramen for months, I would have had a job, but NO because I'm a smoker. It didn't have anything to do with insurance purposes or anything like that. I even told them I would not smoke on the job during breaks or lunches, or come to work smelling like cigarettes. Nope, I still smoke cigarettes. Made me very very angry, and I'm very stressed.
I don't want pity, I also don't want to be labelled a Liberal troll, I might vomit.
Look, I don't know why you can't seem to find a job. I don't know how old you are, what your professional qualifications are or why you are currently unemployed. From your postings here you seem to be a very confused person who claims to believe in Liberty and yet who is convinced that someone else's private exercise of Liberty in discriminating against you because you smoke is somehow taking away your liberty to smoke.
No, my FRiend, you are still allowed to smoke in this nanny state and people who don't like it are pretty much at liberty to avoid hanging around you or liking you or thinking that you are a damn fool for continuing in a habit that will someday result in your either dying of cancer or drowning in your own mucous in a hopsice because your lungs are so filled with scar tissue that you can't cough it out.
You came on this thread announcing to the Freepers that you didn't think an employer has the right to discriminate against anyone. Those were your words. You seem to have backtracked from those words which means to me that you have a tendency to speak or type before you engage your brain. My guess is that this is probably the reason why you haven't been able to get employment. Either that or you are not qualified for the position for which you are applying. Probably both.
I gave you a word of advice early on. I suggested that you write the company that didn't hire you and tell them you understand their reluctance to hire someone who smoked and to thank then for having standards and that if you ever were able to stop smoking that you would consider it an honor to work for them.
You ignored my advice and suggested that maybe you would sue the employer. I advised you that that would be the worst career move of your life. I don't see that you have taken that advice.
You might want to go back in your own employment history and see whether or not there is some stain on your record that you managed to get posted somewhere. Perhaps you filed a labor lawsuit against a prior employer before. Perhaps you filed an injury claim for some bogus injury, hired an attorney and cost one of your employers an arm and a leg more than they ever paid you. These lawsuits are public records and any prospective employer can look them up and then come up with some other reason not to hire you.
My advice is to stop complaining about the people that won't hire you and come up with some really good reasons why someone in the position to hire you should hire you. If they suspect that you are going to be trouble, they are not going to hire you. If they think they can make a lot of money by putting you on the payroll, then you would already have a job by now.
Stop looking for laws that will force an employer to hire you. Start looking for solid economic reasons why an employer will profit from hiring you and if you can convince them of that, they will overlook the little flaws such as your compulsion to kill yourself or waste time and money injesting polluted air.
Sorry, that should be up to the employer looking for new hires whether it matters, not the government.
No I have never been injured on the job or filed a lawsuit. There were many other things that they could have stopped the interview at. But they chose the smoking......this is what I don't understand.
No I'm not going to SUE anyone.
"Why should ex-criminals, EVEN petty criminals be denied employment after their time is served. I dont know if you know this or not but a LOT of people that get out of jail want to do better with themselves, once they find out they cant. They go back to crime to survive.
I would gladly hire an ex con to guard my home, or take care of my child, or safeguard my companies finances. Theyve paid their debt to society. Maybe they made one mistake. It shouldnt haunt them for the rest of their lives."
It's also MY choice; I WON'T hire that person.
You probably are in favor of taking my power to choose away from me, but, so far, it's still a free country!

The Utah High School Activities Association just released their upcoming realignment for Utah high schools for the next two school years. The most significant proposal adopted was to go to six classifications in football. The new classifications are 5A, 4A, 3AA, 3A, 2A and 1A. Instead of adding a 6A class, the UHSAA simply divided the 3A class into two separate divisions, which will separate the schools according to enrollment size.
Emery High will be affected by the changes. The Spartans will remain just as they are now in all sports with the exception of football. Emery will now go to 3A in football.
Emery will be one of 12 teams in the 3A classification while there will be 14 teams in the 3AA class, 5A will consist of 26 teams, 4A will consist of 24 teams, 2A will consist of 14 teams and 1A will have 9 teams.
The 3A will have a North division and a South division. Emery will play in the North along with Carbon, Grantsville, Judge Memorial, Morgan and Union. The South will consist of Canyon View, Delta, Juab, Manti, North Sanpete and Richfield.
In the other sports, Delta and Richfield will swap places with Delta dropping down to 2A and Richfield moving up.
Emery will remain a part of Region 15. The region will now consist of Emery, Grand, San Juan, North Sevier, South Sevier and Wasatch Academy.
These changes will last for two school years and then the UHSAA will do this all again as they do their best to keep teams competing on a level playing field according to school populations.

Munster claimed their third win of the RaboDirect PRO12 season with a 35-12 victory over Scarlets at Thomond Park.
Munster claimed their third win of the RaboDirect PRO12 season with a 35-12 victory over Scarlets at Thomond Park.
Fly-Half Ian Keatley lands a personal tally of twenty points, as the Munstermen extend their unbeaten run in the competition to thirteen.
Munster have proven to be unbeatable on home turf in recent times, and this was to be no exception.
The Irish side had won a record twelve matches in a row in the league going into this one, and despite a number of changes in personnel, they maintained that unbeaten run.
It was the visitors who took a surprising lead though, as fly-half Dan Newtown kicked a penalty in the third minute.
Munster didn't take long to get into their usual stride however with Ian Keatley levelling things up.
Indeed, the home side had their first try of the game soon after, when a series of great passes through the backs saw Doug Howlett go over. Keatley kicked the conversion, and added another penalty to put the Irish side in the ascendancy.
Both sides traded penalties after that, before constant Munster pressure deep in the Scarlets 22 led to a penalty from Keatley; Munster were now in control.
The home side dominated for the rest of the half, but it was Scarlets who got the last score of the half, Dan Newton landing a penalty, leaving it at 20-9.
Heavy rain meant for a testing second period. Newton added another penalty for Scarlets to put them back in contention, but Ian Keatley responded with a crucial score for Munster with a placed kick of his own to give the Irish side a healthy lead with twenty to play.
Substitutes Duncan Williams and Tommy O'Donnell made sure of the win for Munster when they came off the bench to add a try apiece to give them a 35-12 win in tricky conditions.
The scorers:
For Munster:
Tries: Howlett, Williams, O'Donnell
Cons: Keatley 3
Pens: Keatley 3
For Scarlets:
Pens: Newton 3, Ford
Munster: 15 Johne Murphy, 14 Doug Howlett, 13 Tom Gleeson, 12 Lifiemi Mafi, 11 Denis Hurley, 10 Ian Keatley, 9 Peter Stringer, 8 James Coughlan, 7 Niall Ronan, 6 Peter O'Mahony (capt), 5 Mick O'Driscoll, 4 Dave Foley, 3 Marcus Horan, 2 Mike Sherry, 1 John Hayes
Replacements: 16 Denis Fogarty, 17 Wian du Preez, 18 BJ Botha, 19 Billy Holland, 20 Tommy O'Donnell, 21 Duncan Williams, 22 Scott Deasy, 23 Simon Zebo.
Scarlets: 15 Dale Ford, 14 Lee Williams, 13 Rhodri Gomer Davies 12 Gareth Maule, 11 Andy Fenby, 10 Dan Newton, 9 Ruki Tipuna, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Josh Turnbull, 6 Rob McCusker, 5 Dominic Day, 4 Lou Reed, 3 Rhys Thomas, 2 Kirby Myhill, 1 Iestyn Thomas (c).
Replacements: 16 Emyr Phillips, 17 Phil John, 18 Rhodri Jones, 19 Aaron Shingler, 20 Johnathan Edwards, 21 Gareth Davies, 22 Aled Thomas, 23 Lee Rees.

Skidmore College Department of Theater presents IF ALL THE SKY WERE PAPER by Andrew Carroll, directed by Lary Opitz. In every American war from the Revolutionary War to Iraq and Afghanistan, people have captured the horror, pathos and intensity of warfare in their letters. Tens of thousands of these letters have been handed down from generation to generation. Best-selling author Andrew Carroll established the Legacy Project through which he has collected thousands of war letters. He created this piece of verbatim theater based upon many of these letters. IF ALL THE SKY WERE PAPER tells the story of war from the viewpoint of the men and women on the front lines, affected civilians, and loved ones on the home front.
Performances are in the mainstage of the Janet Kinghorn Bernhard Theater, April 10-13 and April 17-19. Performances are at 8:00PM, except for Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00PM. Tickets are $12 general admission and $8 for seniors and students. Call the Skidmore Theater Box Office at 518-580-5439 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Mayo Clinic has a lot to say about breast cancer. Click over here, and you'll land at some pretty good information about biopsies, breast cancer staging, treatment, coping and support. You'll even learn a thing or two about obesity, because, well, unless you've been hiding under a rock lately, you know that being overweight or obese increases your chances of developing the disease. I know, it's a bummer you can't eat whatever you want and lounge on the couch all day. But you just can't — well, not if your wish is to keep cancer from invading your world.
"The good news is that even modest weight loss can improve or prevent the health problems associated with obesity," says The Mayo Clinic website. And the book The Mayo Clinic Diet, written by Dr. Donald Hensrud and other weight-loss experts at the Clinic, is chock-full of tips for eating well, enjoying life, and, yes, losing some weight.
Now, this is not a scheme to starve you skinny in no time (that's just not healthy, or sustainable), but the book does feature a two-week quick-start plan, and then lots of material for helping you continue to lose and maintain (that's key, after all). Think 1 to 2 pounds per week until you reach your healthy weight. Sound good? Good. Here's more of what you'll get in this book:
- How to determine your healthy weight
- How to break bad habits and create good ones
- How to control your portions
- How to best burn calories
- How to handle slip-ups
- How to make easy meals
This is a glossy, colorful and friendly book — I'm looking right now at the yummiest picture of a Blueberry and Lemon Cream Parfait — only 125 calories, 1 gram of fat and 9 grams of protein — and I can tell you for sure that the tips for overcoming barriers are really quite do-able: on days when you honestly don't have time to cook a meal at home, for example, stop at the grocery store for a healthy deli sandwich instead of that fast food burger, fries and large Coke.
It's still OK to eat out now and then (whew!), and this book offers the dirt on healthy dishes to order at ethnic stops, like Chinese, French, Greek, Italian, Japanese and Mexican restaurants. It's also got the skinny on alcohol — best to avoid it, lots of calories (and linked to breast cancer, too) — and you'll love all the charts and tables. Did you know that one serving of cashews = 4 whole nuts? Yea, that's why I avoid them. Just can't stop at 4. More on serving sizes in the book. Oh, and you might want to get yourself The Mayo Clinic Diet journal companion, because jotting down everything you do to fight the fat is a good idea.
Time for me to stop, and you to start — losing weight, that is (if you need to). For more book information, visit here. And for the scoop on the guy who wrote the book (and The Mayo Clinic, too), just read on.

How many Kevin Bacon-style steps does it take to get from me to Akshaye Khanna? (Or Aamir or Hrithik?)
That's right. All this plotting and fretting, all this daydreaming and mooning around, and it was as easy as pie all along. Turns out one of my favorite penfriends has met all of the above gentlemen. My source remains nameless, as this person is completely loveable and fabulous on their own merits, and I will have no one pestering them for party invites and the like. But still. You'd think it would have come up. (And that it didn't is a testament to the source's independent, individual loveliness.)

Roughly $18 billion has drained out of emerging-market mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, thanks to significant drops in emerging market equities.
So with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index down roughly 6.5% following a 5% drop last year, many money managers interviewed by Joe Light for the Wall Street Journal think it's a good time for investors to buy – with caveats.
The article suggests that investors avoid hand-picking EM stocks and bonds, or using single-country funds, given that an emerging-market position will be a small piece of a portfolio. Instead, seek exposure in funds with low fees. The Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund (VEIEX) or the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG) have low 0.18% fees. And, Morningstar gives high ratings to actively-managed American Funds New World fund (NEWFX) and the Harding Loevner Emerging Markets Portfolio (HLEMX). Fees are 1.06% and of more than 1.43%, respectively.
From experts and money managers quoted:
- Mark Mobius, executive chairman of the Templeton Emerging Markets Group: a 10% EM correction is nothing and a sharper drop could be on the way.
- Sammy Simnegar, manager of the Fidelity International Capital Appreciation Fund (FCPAX): the emerging- selloff could continue over one or two years.
- Christiane S. Delessert of Montis Financial, a firm in Waltham, Mass: maybe make half the EM allocation you otherwise would.
- Lucas Turton, chief investment officer at Boston-based Windham Capital Management: he's raising his emerging market allocation to 25% to 30% from 15% to 20%.
- José Gerardo Morales, chief investment officer at New York-based Mirae Asset Global Investments: build a first-time or slightly higher-than-normal EM position. A 10% allocation is a good baseline.
- Chris Brightman, head of investment management for Research Affiliates, an investment firm in Newport Beach, Calif.: don't expect emerging-market bonds denominated in local currencies to provide any stability.
See the WSJ piece, "How To Invest In Emerging Markets Now" and the recent Barrons.com interview with Mark Mobius (subscriptions required.) Mobius likes Africa, and on our emerging markets blog, we noted Mobius' thoughts on Turkey.

Trans Tasman Airfares For Only $1*28/01/2005
Pacific Blue Turns 1 And You Get The Present
Pacific Blue Airlines will tomorrow celebrate 12 months since its first flight took off from Christchurch International Airport to Brisbane on 29 January 2004.
In true Pacific Blue style, the airline is selling 2000** seats for just $1* (plus taxes, fees and surcharges from $70) giving both Australians and New Zealanders the chance to buy tickets at the lowest price ever seen on the Tasman.
The $1* fares are available on the internet and will be on sale from 6am Saturday 29 th January until sold out. The airline expects them to be snapped up in a matter of hours.
Pacific Blue Chief Executive, Tony Marks, said, "Pacific Blue has always been on a mission to provide the best service possible at the lowest fare. While we are not looking to regularly put fares on sale for $1*, the first birthday sale is our little way of saying thank you to all the travellers who have made it clear they value an airline that is committed to keeping the air fair and fun."
Since introducing the 'new era' of flying to Trans Tasman travellers and further bridging the gap between New Zealand and Australia with sustainable low air fares, Pacific Blue has also launched services to more international destinations taking in Vanuatu^, Fiji^ and soon the Cook Islands^.
Following on from a busy first year, the low fare airline has an exciting future ahead in terms of expansion plans throughout the South Pacific and Trans Tasman regions.
"Over the past 12 months, Pacific Blue has established itself as a serious Trans Tasman player and we have never been coy about giving traditional carriers a run for their money. We'll definitely be spreading our wings even further throughout 2005 so that more and more travellers can take advantage of real competition and affordable fares," Tony Marks finished.
Pacific Blue currently operates services between:
Christchurch – Brisbane
Christchurch – Sydney
Christchurch – Melbourne
Christchurch - Gold Coast
Wellington – Brisbane and Sydney
Brisbane – Nadi^
Brisbane - Port Vila^
Melbourne – Nadi^
Melbourne - Port Vila^
Christchurch – Rarotonga^
|First Day (29 January 2004)

Since 29 January 2004 until end of January 2005, Pacific Blue has flown an average of 2558 flights, the equivalent of flying 175 times around the world.
** 1000 seats ex-New Zealand and 1000 seats ex-Australia
* Pacific Blue $1 birthday fares are strictly limited and only available on direct Trans Tasman routes. Fares are one way on the net, or $10 more by phone. A credit card surcharge of an additional $2 per person per one way flight is applicable. Taxes, fees and surcharges are correct as at 29 January 2005, and are subject to change. Fares are on sale from 6am, Saturday 29 January until 30 January 2005 or until sold out if earlier, for travel between 1 February – 16 March, 2005.
^ International flights ex-Australia are offered by Pacific Blue Airlines (Aust) Pty Ltd and operated by Pacific Blue Airlines (NZ) Ltd (wholly owned subsidiaries of Virgin Blue Holdings Ltd.). Christchurch - Rarotonga services start on 19 March 2005.

Jon Richardson: Dogmatic
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2008
Co-host of BBC 6Music's The Russell Howard Show; if.comedy best newcomer nominee 2007; Chortle award winner 2008 Breakthrough Act
Original Review:
I'd better be careful what I write here, as Jon Richardson clearly takes his reviews to heart. Most of Dogmatic seems dedicated to dispelling the charge that he's a grumpy misanthrope – a conclusion to which many critics, myself included, leapt after seeing last year's newcomer-nominated show.
This year, he takes great pains to insist he's actually an idealist, and if he sometimes demonstrates intolerance, it's only intolerance for the sort of unacceptable behaviour that makes society that little bit less civilised. If so many people happen to exhibit that behaviour that it makes him look like a 'mardy dick', well, that can't be his look-out.
No, dogmatic is what he is. Strongly opinionated and not open to rational argument. He might enjoy starting debates, but he sure as hell doesn't like losing them. So he's in his element on stage, where he has the one-sided power to express his point of view.
But Richardson isn't full of strident political views – a woman sniffling on the train seat next to him is one of the biggest injustices he wants to draw attention to – rather, he simply retells real-life incidents that have irked him and he practises weak, petty revenge on the transgressors.
He tell the tales with effortless simplicity, as if they are unfiltered, unembellished accounts that just happen to have their funny moments, rather than something he's crafted. It's this apparent naturalness, no matter how much his legs are paddling below the water, that makes Richardson so appealing.
A couple of extended anecdotes comprise much of the set: the low-down petty crooks who stole his windscreen wipers from a deserted car-park, and the fight he got 'involved' with in the most cowardly manner. In each case the target is supposedly the thieves and the thugs – though he comes out of both rather unflatteringly, too, even if he is in the right.
Ultimately, the show isn't as lofty as Richardson seems to want it to be. But for a series of only marginally unusual true-life tales, loosely linked by ineffectual whinging at modern Britain's ills, they are surprisingly effective. And he has got a point about bad behaviour…

Dogmatic was an incredible experience, side splittingly funny. Despite his less than optimistic outlook, he is just making society a better place! If you get the chance to see him, grab those tickets as fast as you can
Anthony - 08/08/2008
Really enjoyed it, very funny for the whole hour.
Amy - 03/08/2008
One word: hilarious. If you get chance, please go see him! Comedy gold from Mr Richardson, his best show so far I'd say!

Randy Nielson, Ferron's fire chief reported that fire prevention week is just ending. The fire department has been very busy promoting fire awareness and safety. They have made a presentation at Ferron Elementary School, checked out the alarms at the school, and sponsored a coloring contest, in which the winner in each grade will receive a ride home from school on the fire truck. To culminate the week's activities, the fire station hosted an open house with tours of the building, and a movie was shown following the tours.
Mayor Gil Bowden informed the council that Millsite Golf Course is on the plus side this year. "There have been many positive things going on there. Jordan Leonard, the manager at the course, has been asked to sit on a new committee which has been formed. Utah State has set aside funds to promote the state parks. Two counties, one being Emery County, have been selected to be the pilot programs for this project," said Mayor Bowden. "The committee is in the process of coming up with a list of ideas to sponsor events that will attract visitors to the state parks here in Emery County."
Mayor Bowden stated that engineers are coming into the golf course to look at and make proposals to correct the sluffage problem on hole number seven. Due to the moisture from the spillway, the hillside which supports the cart path is slipping away. The mens association has purchased a computer for the clubhouse which will be used for Utah Golf Association business.
Emery County is forming a county boundary commission. The council approved the appointment of Randy Fox and Melinda MECCAriello as Ferron's representatives on that commission. The purpose of the commission is to review disputes surrounding annexation issues.
Lou Sansevero brought several items before the council. The first was the request of permission to send a letter to the Governor's office of planning and budget, justifying the request for money to fund the formation of Ferron's general plan. He also requested consideration of a questionnaire which will be sent out to Ferron residents for their input into the items that they would like to see incorporated into the general plan.
Another point for discussion brought by Sansevero was the Ferron City logo and motto. He suggests reinventing Ferron with a more up to date logo displaying the focus of where Ferron is going today. "Our goal is to promote Ferron as a recreation destination. I feel our logo and motto should reflect those ideals," said Sansevero. The council approved him to hold a contest and solicit ideas from the town.
In yet another matter, Sansevero stated that two of the positions on the land use authority (planning and zoning) have expired. The council approved to renew the appointment of Sansevero as planning and zoning commissioner with Councilman Joe Trenery as the council's representative on that board. To fill several vacant positions on that board, the council also approved to begin the advertising process to fill the vacancies.
Mayor Bowden announced that Emery County Recreation has passed a no drugs/no alcohol policy. This policy states that no alcohol or drugs will be allowed at any function sponsored or funded by Emery County Recreation. In another matter with the recreation district, Bowden announced that Ferron is the only town that is not involved with the recreation district concerning youth sports.
All of the other soccer teams and little league teams go through the recreation board. Mayor Bowden said he will speak with those involved and encourage them to work with the recreation board.
In place in Emery County, at present, is an ordinance requiring that before a home can be built in unincorporated portions of the county, the property owner must have a 10 acre parcel that the home is to be built upon. Ferron Council members have requested a copy of that ordinance for review.
In another matter for review, with discussion to be held at a later date, is the pay and benefit scale of the mayor and council members. A chart was distributed to the council members showing the salary scale of the other towns in Emery County. At the next Ferron City Council meeting, the members will discuss and decide if salaries should be raised for those who are serving. Another item will be whether to allow salary to be used to pay for benefits.
The next Ferron City Council meeting will be Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. in Ferron City Hall.

cute versatile sandal
"I was really exicited to receive these shoes in the mail and to my surprise they arrived more quickly than expected! Perfectly packaged and ready to go. I had been eyeing these for a little while and finally decided to make the purchase. I ordered an 8 1/2 which looking back I would have went for an 8 but its not overly noticable that they are a tad bigger than I wanted. Love them and have been getting lots of compliments ! Turquoise/Lightbrown color is great and they can be worn with jeans, shorts or a summer dress. Cute, comfy and affordable !!"

Ancelia (Shiela) Marinoni Marchino was born on Sept. 17, 1911 in Rovetta, Italy. When she was 8 years old, she along with her mother and two younger brothers immigrated to America to rejoin their father. He was a rock mason and had come to America five years earlier to work in his trade. They settled in Idaho and lived in Lava Hot Springs and later developed a farm in Arimo, Idaho. After the depression and the loss of the farm the family moved to Carbon County in 1930 to find work in the coal mines.
In 1933 she married Mario Marchino, had three children Louise, John and Jerry. Ancelia has been a mother, housewife, and also helped her husband in operating both a service station in Carbonville and motel in Price. Upon their retirement she and her husband went on several trips touring both the US and Canada.
After her husband passed away in 1996, she and her sister Aurelia, who died in 2007, spent time together and had many memorable outings on their favorite trips to Wendover, Mesquite and Laughlin, Nev. Although she hasn't been able to make a trip lately, the "penny slots" in Wendover are still her most enjoyable activity. As she turns 100 her brother John Marinoni is trying to keep pace with her as he will be 99 years old in December.
As an interesting fact she has voted in every presidential election since 1932.
To help celebrate the 100th birthday you are welcome to an open house Sept. 18 at the Notre Dame Hope Center, 200 North Carbon Avenue in Price from 2-5 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. No gifts please.

Topic: Restful Authentication. Latest and greatest?
I'm looking to use the restful authentication plugin and am a bit confused as to whether or not the svn repository contains the latest and greatest version or not. I read online that techno-weenie (the creator) has a git repository which looks like it's advertised as the most current but the script install stuff I read about references the svn repository.
Any info appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Countdown to Father's Day: Top TV Dads
As we countdown to Father's Day (06/20) – here's our continuing look at some of TV's favorite fathers: From the 1950s cardigan-wearing, "Father Knows Best" types to the 21st century guys juggling dysfunctional families and questionable careers.
TV's Top Dads (in chronological order)
Howard Cunningham (1970's/80's)
Ever-jolly Howard Cunningham (played by Tom Bosley) was the Midwestern TV Dad on the 1950s-style comedy Happy Days (1974-1984). Howard earned his living by running the hardware store, but always managed to find time to solve the woes of his teenage kids. And he even played surrogate dad to son Richie's rather wayward collection of friends.
Check back each day for another TV dad (or you can cheat and check out all our TV dads here).

Natural to Your Body H2Ocean Spray is the most effective product helping cleanse and heal all your oral and body piercings. It is the only Piercing Aftercare product that contains ingredients that are natural to your body. The ingredients of H2Ocean Spray are Purified Water, Sea Salt, Lysozyme and Sodium Benzoate which are found in the body's own metabolism.

H2Ocean spray helps increase the circulation to the body piercing and assist in the acceleration of the healing process. H2Ocean Piercing Spray will also help reduce lumps, scar tissue and itching.
The active ingredient in H2Ocean is Lysozyme which helps kill over 650 different types of bacteria, diseases, viruses and fungi. Lysozyme exists in our bodily fluids naturally to protect us from airborne bacteria.

Hahahaha, I should have known I would be late to the "no Gandalf? WTF?" party. But that's okay, because it's a full house and people are overflowing into the front yard, people are getting tossed into the pool, and I think someone has broken the CD player. That's a party.
But I think the Discworld characters are great to have in there. Love that series.
I cannot believe they got Discworld characters (AWESOME!) but not Gandalf. I mean, seriously!
No Lord of The Rings!!!!
Do Not Want!!!
Two Harry Potter, Narnia, and Discworld, and no Lord of the Rings is pretty insane. And they should have used Richard Harris as Dumbledore.
Cool. I'm going to add this to my list of Awesome Things That Would Never, Ever Fly In America.
File this under yet another reason I need to move to the UK. These are amazing!
Although, I, too, am wondering why Gandalf has been excluded.
Jesus, i hope you don't have to lick them.
what the HELL?!?!?! Where's Gandalf?!?! You cant have that kind of stamp collection without a Gandalf. 🙁
Here's a link for the Royal Mail Shop, if you want to get presentation packs, etc. Yes, they ship internationally.
Hmmm….a mixing of fantasy and stamps? I'm almost choking on the geek here.
You know now what you must do, US Postal Service: a large collection of Star Wars and Star Trek stamps, post-haste!!!
No Gandalf???
Seeing Rincewind and Nanny Ogg in there make me happier than any of the others. :3

Flames Trade Tim Erixon
Kent Wilson
June 01 2011 02:07PM
According to Jesse Spector, the Flames have traded Tim Erixon to the New York Rangers for Roman Horak and two second round picks. Flames also sent a 5th rounder to the Rangers in the deal.
Horak is a former 5th round pick who scored 78 points in the WHL last year for the Chilliwack Bruins. He was second on the team in scoring behind Ryan Howse.
Analysis and reactions later...
IMO if the kid didn't want to play here which by the way looked very obvious - good riddance, why in the heck would you want to try and sign someone who doesn't want to be here.
June 03 2011, 01:38PM
How did the organization not know this? Why didn't they have knowledge of this around the trade deadline?? Perhaps he could have been pakcaged with someone for a real asset?
Doesn't sit well with me. No one wants a pplayer who doesn't want to be here. But how is it we didn't know - no one knew??

How to make a creepy desert ? All you need is the instruction below:
1. Summon Demon Loli Lucifer.
2. Subdue Demon Loli Lucifer.
3. Find/Get Creepichi.
4. Make Demon Loli Lucifer reap out Crepishi's soul.
5. Cut it to pieces and the desert is ready. It works well with salad, chicken and whatever else you would like to eat along it .
Now I wonder if perhaps the Solomon Company isn't after Solomon's Soul, hmmmmm...
Hmm, damn... I can't really figure out whats gonna happen next with the seal.Spoiler!Eating the soul upgraded their seal up? so It's gonna be a soul hunting game? lol. Welcome to Soul Eater V2
FURUUUIIIIIIIIIICHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIII !!! Surprisingly this also describes this chapter well as well again, lol .
Somehow I get the feeling that when they are about to connect the soul pieces and return it to Furichi, the Solomon Company Guy/Gentleman/Wizard will do something. Steal it, put something extra there ?
Let's hope that Furuichi doesn't leave the 72 Solomon's Demons route for a King's crest.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
So, it is the 6 deadly creeps of Furuichi .
Is it me or is the author aiming for that one line, yes you know which: "it's over 9000 !!!!" with the king's crests at some point ?
Six Deadly Creeps, LOL
But seriously now, Oga and Baby Beel seem to be in a rough spot. The demon Lucifer they are up against was defeated by Beel's dad after hard battle (as I recall), Beel is just a Baby, and he is distributing his power to others. Unless if we find out that Baby Beel is some chakra, power monster baby, or he has a Levelu 3 up his naked butt sleeve (er sorry no sleeve), it's hard to see how they will win against Takamiya and Lucifer
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
There is always the Black Beel, from which Oga might also be able to draw out power, or he will need to own it on spot to gain a boost in power (he was supposed to do this before fighting the demon academy but he didn't for whatever reason).

Punk gets a tough-meets-chic makeover in this editorial from the pages of Interview Magazine, and boy are we loving it! Styled by the brilliant Marie-Am?lie Sauv?, the combination of pattern-clashing prints and bold colors comes together perfectly mixed with true punk separates like leather and denim. From ultra-tattered and scribbled on to colorful and bold patterns like snake print and bold stripes (our fave), you certainly wont find a pair of plain blue jeans in sight. It definitely doesn't get more punk than this!

Bamako Declaration: Road Map for Africa's Climate Change and Biodiversity Strategies29/
13th Session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment AMCEN, Bamako, Mali from June 20-25 2010Bamako (Mali), 25 June 2010 -The 13th Session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) came to a close on Monday with the adoption of the Bamako Declaration, the continent's new road map for sustainable development and basis for strengthening the common negotiating position on climate change and biological diversity.AMCEN's in-coming President, Prof. Thiemoko Sangare, who is also the Minister of Environment and Sanitation of the Republic of Mali led over 40 African Environment ministers, gathered at the Centre International de Conférences de Bamako in deliberating and adopting a set of bold decisions and the 71-point declaration.In adopting the Bamako Declaration, African Environment ministers made a bold statement of how they expected their respective governments to engage both at the domestic and international level in addressing issues of loss of biodiversity and access to benefit sharing as well as desertification and climate change challenges.On biodiversity the ministers declared to commit themselves to developing a common position for the continuing negotiations on access and benefit-sharing (ABS) under the Convention on Biological Diversity. To this end they called upon the African Union and UNEP to support African negotiators in the negotiation of a new international regime on access and benefit sharing. To address the threat of desertification, the ministers urged the African Union Commission, with the continued support of the secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in countries experiencing serious drought and desertification in Africa, UNEP, UNDP, the Global Environment Facility and other partners, to implement the 10-year strategic plan and framework to enhance the implementation of the Convention (2008-2018).Further, the ministers called on UN agencies to support the development and implementation of the Great Green Wall of the Sahara and the Sahel initiative. The ministers are also calling on countries to seek ways and opportunities to strengthen the synergies in the implementation of the conventions on climate change, desertification and biodiversity at the national and sub-regional levels in support of sustainable development for Africa. "With these big steps forward, I see a much stronger, bolder Africa speaking with an even more consolidate voice at Nagoya and Cancun later in the year," Prof. Thiemoko Sangare, said while closing the five-day long conference, whose theme was "Enhancing the interrelationship between climate change, biodiversity and desertification for sustainable development".Through their various representatives at the conference, the West African Economic Community (ECOWAS), the African Ministerial Council on Water (AMCOW), the World Health Organisation (WHO), the South African Development Economic Community (SADEC), the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), Pan African Parliament and the civil society pledged their continued support for AMCEN. They said the Bamako Declaration will strengthen partnerships with various organizations and governments, while broadening Africa's negotiations agenda at the international level.The Declaration also makes wide ranging proposals on tackling problems relating to waste, chemicals, health and the environment by urging governments to support the implementation of the Libreville Declaration of the Inter-Ministerial Conference on Health and Environment in Africa and the establishment of a strategic alliance for health and environment in the continent.On cross-cutting issues, the ministers called on representatives at the joint annual meetings of the African Union Conference of Ministers of Economy and Finance and the UN Economic Commission for Africa Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development to take specific steps in mainstreaming environmental issues in development planning. The Declaration also makes wide-ranging recommendations on fostering a green economy transformation in Africa, the Africa environment outlook, technology supported learning and marine and coastal strategy. The ministerial session, which culminated in the adoption of the Bamako Declaration, was preceded by Africa top level experts' segment, which deliberated on opportunities that can be derived from addressing the effects of climate change and variability. The Segment also examined and discussed ways of updating the African Common Negotiating position on Climate Change in view of the next meeting of the 16th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCC to be held in Cancun, Mexico at the fall of 2010. They also examined the AMCEN Comprehensive Framework of African Climate Change Programmes. Note to EditorsThe full text of the Bamako Declaration will be posted on the AMCEN website http://www.unep.org/roa/amcen/Amcen_Events/13th_Session/default.asp. Some highlights of the 71-point document include the resolve by the ministers;To commit themselves to reinforce and to implement decisions by the African Union and the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment to ensure and guarantee the coherence, transparency, continuity and effectiveness of the political and legal representation of Africa in the process of negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto ProtocolTo call upon the United Nations Environment Programme and other multilateral partners to support African countries in gaining access to resources under the Adaptation Fund of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; To support the establishment of an African ecosystems research network that will enhance the capacity of scientists and policymakers in the sustainable management of ecosystems and livelihoods in Africa;To commit themselves to developing a common position for the continuing negotiations on access and benefit-sharing and liability, compensation and redress regimes, under the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Cartagena Protocol and to call upon the African Union and the United Nations Environment Programme to support African negotiators in the negotiation of a new international regime on access and benefit-sharing;To call upon States to support at the national, sub-regional, regional and global levels the process to establish an intergovernmental science-policy platform for biodiversity and ecosystem services, to be considered by the United Nations General Assembly at its sixty-fifth session;To invite the African Union Commission and the Planning and Coordinating Agency of the New Partnership for Africa's Development, with the continued support of the secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in Those Countries Experiencing Serious Drought and/or Desertification, Particularly in Africa, the Global Mechanism of that Convention, the United Nations Environment Programme, the United Nations Development Programme, the Global Environment Facility and other partners, to implement the 10-year strategic plan and framework to enhance the implementation of the Convention (2008?2018); To reinforce shared actions by African countries to mobilize the required financial resources for the implementation of the Convention to Combat Desertification and national action plans;For more Information please contact:Dr Peter Acquah, AMCEN Secretary, Tel +254 20 7624289, Email: email@example.com

The mission of the City of Tallahassee is to provide excellent services and facilities to support a high quality of life for the community.
The City of Tallahassee is the seat of and only incorporated municipality within Leon County. It is the capital of Florida and home to two state universities.
October 02, 2013
As news stories across the nation highlight civil and human unrest, the City of Tallahassee is finding ways to bring people together as evidenced by the announcement of the Mayor's Summit on Race, Culture and Human Relations. The event will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 29 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Augustus B. Turnbull III Florida State Conference Center, located at 555 W. Pensacola Street.
Titled Together, We Rise, this year's summit will explore the status of relations among Tallahassee's diverse community through a series of thought-provoking presentations and workshops. This year marks the 10th time the City has coordinated the event. It is designed to help create a climate for open, honest and safe dialogue about race, culture and human relations.
"For more than a decade, the City has proudly presented this unique opportunity for people throughout our community - from various races and cultural backgrounds - to come together to share ideas and experiences, to learn, and to grow," said Mayor John Marks. "We can be proud to live in a city where citizens appreciate what can be accomplished when we come together. Our proactive approach is what makes our community a leader by example and an exceptional place in which to live and work."
The day-long event offers workshops and a public forum that focus on timely, relevant issues, including a healthcare perspective presented by Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH). TMH is the event's title sponsor.
"Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare is proud to serve as the title sponsor for this year's summit," said TMH President and CEO Mark O'Bryant. "This is a tremendous opportunity for us to join the discussion on human relations and their interdependence with the factors that make a community healthy."
Attendees will hear from Brian Blasko, a highly motivated, nationally recognized diversity speaker, trainer and author. He is known for his high energy, humorous and thought producing message that takes adversity out of diversity. He will present "Recipe for Success - Like Baking Bread… Together, We Rise!"
There will also be a special presentation that includes comments from civil rights activists, also known as foot soldiers, who took part in Tallahassee's 1960s lunch counter sit-ins and the 1956 bus boycott. Foot soldiers who were recently memorialized in the Tallahassee-Leon County Civil Rights Heritage Walk for their contributions to the Civil Rights Movement will share some of their personal stories.
From 6 to 8 p.m., there will be a free special program featuring Robbie Stokes Jr., executive director/founder of I Talk to Strangers (ITTS). ITTS is a social movement with the mission to bring the world together one conversation at a time by creating programs and partnerships with organizations that promote enriching dialogue and positive collaborations among strangers. He will discuss the importance of bridging the gap from fear to understanding through open communication and developing relationships between people who never would have known each other had they not taken the time to talk to strangers.
