On Tuesday, May 7, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a decision to invalidate the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) "notification of employee rights" notice posting rule. The rule mandated that all employers subject to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) inform their employees of various rights guaranteed under the NLRA - including the right to organize.
The rule was intended to cover nearly all employers except those specifically exempt from the NLRA. Even employers who have no current union presence were required to post the notice. If employers did not comply, they could be subject to an unfair labor practice charge.
A three-judge panel struck down the rule on the grounds that the NLRB had overstepped its authority under law. The D.C. court's ruling supports a decision issued in April 2012 by the U.S. District Court for South Carolina, stating that the NLRB does not have the statutory authority to require business owners to post a biased poster.
For now, no NLRA-type posting is required, other than those government contractors mandated to post a similar notice under Executive Order 13496.
The NLRB will now have to decide if it wishes to appeal this decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. The NLRB recently chose that route when the same appellate court struck down President Obama's interim NLRB appointments.

Altra Industrial Motion Inc. has multiple locations in the U.S., as well as Central America, Europe, and Asia. The Employment Law Alliance has proved to be a great asset in assisting us in dealing with employment issues and matters in such diverse venues as Mexico, Australia, and Spain. We have obtained excellent results using the ELA network for matters ranging from a multi-state review of employment policies to assisting with individual employment issues in a variety of foreign jurisdictions.
In one instance, we were faced with an employment dispute with a former associate in Mexico that had the potential for substantial economic exposure. The matter had been pending for over a year, and we were not confident in the employment advice we had been receiving. I obtained a referral to the ELA counsel in Mexico, who was able to obtain a favorable resolution of the dispute in only a few days. Based on our experiences with the ELA, we would not hesitate to use its many resources for future employment law needs.
In my career I have been a practicing attorney, counsel to the Governor of Maine, and CEO of a major public utility. I have worked with many lawyers in many settings. When the American University in Bulgaria needed help with employment litigation in federal court in Syracuse, New York, we turned to Pierce Atwood, the ELA member we knew and trusted in Maine, for a referral. We were extremely pleased with the responsiveness and high quality of service we received from Bond Schoeneck & King, the ELA's firm in upstate New York. I would not hesitate to recommend the ELA to any employer.

I really enjoyed the Conducting an Effective Internal Investigation in the United States webinar. We are in the midst of a rather delicate employee relations issue in California right now and the discussion helped me tremendously. It also reinforced things that you tend to forget if you don't do these investigations frequently. So, many, many thanks to the Employment Law Alliance for putting that webinar together. It was extremely beneficial.
Lynn Clayton
Vice President, Human Resources
I recently participated in the ELA-sponsored webinar on the Employee Free Choice Act. I was most impressed with that presentation. It was extremely helpful and very worthwhile. I have also been utilizing the ELA's online Global Employer Handbook. This compliance tool is absolutely terrific.
I am familiar with several other products that purport to provide up-to- date employment law information and I believe that this resource is superior to other similar compliance manuals. I am delighted that the ELA provides this free to its members' clients.
Employment Law Alliance (ELA) has provided Boyd Coffee Company with a highly valued connection to resources, important information and learning. With complex operations and employees working in approximately 20 states, we are continually striving to keep abreast of specific state laws, many of which vary from state to state. We have participated in the ELA web seminars and have found the content very useful. We appreciate the ease, cost effectiveness and quality of the content and presenters offered by these web seminars. The Global Employer Handbook has provided our company with a very helpful overview of legal issues in the various states in which we operate, and the network of attorneys has helped us manage issues that have arisen in states other than where our Roastery and corporate headquarters are located in Portland, Oregon.
As an international operating outsourcing and consulting supplier Capgemini has used firms of the Employment Law Alliance in Central Europe. We were always highly satisfied with the quality of employment law advice and the responsiveness. I can really recommend the ELA lawyers.
As an employment lawyer based in San Francisco, I work closely with high tech clients with operations around the globe. Last year, one of my clients needed to implement a workforce reduction in a dozen countries simultaneously. And they gave me 48 hours to accomplish this. I don't know how I could have pulled this off without the resources of the ELA. I don't know of any single law firm that could have made this happen. My client received all of the help they needed in a timely fashion and on a cost effective basis.
Stephen J. Hirschfeld
As the Vice President for Litigation & Associate General Counsel for my company, I need to ensure that we have a team of top-notch employment lawyers in place in every jurisdiction where we do business. And I want to be confident that those lawyers know our business so they don't have to reinvent the wheel when a new legal matter arises. With more than 3400 stores and 35,000 employees operating in all 50 U.S. states and across Canada, we rely on the ELA to partner with us to help accomplish our objectives. I have been delighted with the consistent high quality of the work performed by ELA lawyers. I encourage other in-house counsel to use their services, as well.
Ingram Micro is the world's largest technology distributor, providing sales, marketing, and logistics services for the IT industry around the globe. With over 13,000 employees working throughout the U.S. and in 35 international countries, we need employment lawyers who we can count on to ensure global legal compliance. Our experience with many multi-state and multi-national law firms is that their employment law services are not always a high priority for them, and many do not have experts in many of their offices. The ELA has assembled an excellent team of highly skilled employment lawyers, wherever and whenever I need them, and they have proven to be an invaluable resource to our company.
Our company, Konami Gaming, Inc., is growing rapidly in a very diverse and highly regulated industry. We are aggressively entering new markets outside the domestic U.S., including Canada and South America. I have had the recent opportunity to utilize the services provided by the ELA. The legal advice was both responsive and professional. Most of all, the entire process was seamless since our Nevada attorney coordinated the services and legal advice requested. I look forward to working with the ELA in the future, as it serves as a great resource to the legal community.
Jennifer Martinez
Vice President, Human Resources
Until recently, I was unaware of the ELA's existence. We have subsidiaries and affiliates throughout the United States, as well as in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. When a recent legal issue arose in Texas, our long-time Nevada counsel, who is a member of the ELA, suggested that this matter be handled by his ELA colleague in Dallas. We are very pleased with the quality and timeliness of services provided by that firm, and we are excited to now have the ELA as an important asset to help us address employment law issues worldwide.
The ELA network has been immensely important to our company in helping us address an array of human resources challenges around the world. I strongly encourage H.R. executives who have employees located in many different jurisdictions to utilize the ELA's unparalleled expertise and geographic coverage.
Stacy Murphy
Former Senior Director of Human Resources
As the General Counsel for a company with 6,500 employees operating across the U.S. and in eight countries, it is critical that I have top quality lawyers on the ground where we do business. The ELA is an indispensable resource. It has taken the guesswork out of finding the best employment counsel wherever we have a problem.
Jill K. Bond
Senior Vice President/General Counsel, Shared Services and Benefits
We have direct sales and service offices all over the U.S., but have not necessarily had the need in the past for assistance with legal work in every state where we have a business presence. From time to time, we suddenly find ourselves facing a legal issue in a state where we have no outside counsel relationship. It has been a real benefit to know that the ELA has assembled such an impressive team of experts throughout the U.S. and overseas.
A few years ago, we faced a very tough discrimination lawsuit in Mississippi. We had never had to retain a lawyer there before. I was absolutely delighted with the Mississippi ELA firm. We received an excellent result. They will no doubt handle all of our employment law matters in Mississippi in the future. I have also obtained the assistance of several other ELA firms around the U.S. and have received the same outstanding service. The ELA is a tremendous resource for our company.
Our affiliated companies have used the Employment Law Alliance in connection with numerous acquisitions, and have always been extremely pleased with our ability to obtain the highest quality legal advice on due diligence issues from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. We have found the Employment Law Alliance firms to be not only first rate with respect to their legal advice but also responsive and timely in assisting us with federal and state law issues critical to our due diligence efforts. We consider the Employment Law Alliance to be an important part of our team.
We have partnered with many ELA firms on the development and execution of case management strategies with very positive results. We have been very pleased with the legal advice and counsel provided by the law firms we have utilized who are affiliated with the Employment Law Alliance. The ELA firms we have worked with are customer focused, responsive, and thorough in their approach to handling labor and employment law matters.
Elizabeth Daly
Assistant General Counsel
Sanmina-SCI has facilities strategically located in key regions throughout the world. Our customers expect that we will provide them with the highest quality and most sophisticated services in the marketplace. We have that same expectation for the lawyers with whom we do business. With operations in 17 countries, we need to be certain that we have a team of lawyers working together to address our employment law needs worldwide. The ELA has delivered exactly what it promised-- seamless and consistent high quality services delivered in each locale around the globe. It has quickly become a key asset for our human resources department.
We own, manage, and franchise hotels throughout the U.S. and in more than 90 countries. With more than 145,000 employees worldwide, ensuring that we comply with the complex web of local labor and employment laws in every one of these jurisdictions is a daunting task. The Employment Law Alliance has served as an important resource for us and we have benefited greatly from its expertise and long reach. When a legal dispute or issue has arisen in some far-flung place, Employment Law Alliance lawyers have always provided responsive, practical, and cost-effective assistance.
Wilmington Trust has used the ELA to locate firms in California, Washington State, Georgia, and Europe. Our experience with the ELA lawyers with whom we have worked has always been one of complete satisfaction and prompt, practical advice.

- Am I dead yet: Iolaus died and was reborn several times.
- Mistake Identity: Iolaus is a perfect lookalike of his second cousin king Orestes of Attica, this has caused trouble on occasion.
- Reputation (sidekick): while Iolaus is an incredibly resourceful and skilled guy (enough to survive adventuring with a super-strong demigod), he tend to pale compared to his best friend.
- Rivalry (Xena): opposite to Hercules, Iolaus never forgave Xena completly for manipulating him.
Iolaus is one of those character from "The Legendary Journey" that has a weird feeling for me. on one hand I'm amazed that - given the level of mythology-rape of this show - someone actually remebered that Herc had a sidekick in the mythos, on the otheer is a constant reminder of how much this show chewed on its source material. Given that I love the character.
while it's quite easy to discount him as a sidekick I want all of you to stop and consider: this guy is tough and cunning enough to survive adventuring with a super-strong demigod, to fend off armed men with stools and fishes. While he might not be the biggest fish in the pond he's not a opponent to underestimate.
overall Iolaus looks and feel very similar to Nightwing, not that surprising consider his hyperkinetic fighting style. Usually he fight barehanded, but he can boost his damage using pretty much anything. In case of emergency he can ignore his Sneak Attack feat and use a sword or an axe to reach his damage cap.

These can come from sports drinks, energy gels and blocks, chews, or dried fruit. For runs or races lasting longer than three hours, increase that amount to 60-90 grams of total carbohydrate (240-360 calories) per hour.

Motors can use up to several times their purchase price in energy every year. In fact, motors can account for up to 45% of the electricity costs of a commercial building and up to 75% of the same costs for an industrial facility. However, many decision-makers are often unaware or not convinced that the higher initial cost of premium-efficiency motors can save them thousands of dollars in the long run. To help customers see the potential savings they will enjoy by purchasing a more energy-efficient motor, Electro-Test Inc. (ETI), Danville, Calif., recently unveiled its "Right Sizing Motor Program."
Initially, ETI provides customers with a complete energy audit of their facility, including a comprehensive analysis of energy use—plus specific recommendations on energy-saving measures that can significantly lower costs.
Energy auditors not only recommend energy-efficient motors and equipment, but also help customers qualify for low-cost financing and rebates (if available). By identifying and accurately measuring motor energy consumption, they can make precise forecasts as to the overall yearly energy savings by right sizing of motors.
For more information on ETI or this program, call (800) 468-6384 or visit the Web site at www.electro-test.com.

Charged with failure to register as a convicted sex offender, Sims was facing a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison if convicted. In addition to being homeless and indigent, Sims had been convicted of a violent sex-crime felony, and so he was housed in the Richmond City Jail while awaiting trial. The judge appointed the Richmond Public Defender's Office to represent Sims, and I was the Assistant Public Defender assigned to his case. When I met Sims at the city jail, he protested that he had been doing everything he could do to stay out of trouble. Even though he had not had stable housing for some time, he had been getting his mail at the local Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR) office, he had been working steadily for a local contractor, and his recent scrape with the law had

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
Mayor Chris Beutler today said the awarding of a $1 million competitive grant to the City will keep Lincoln's air clean and preserve and create jobs. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced today that is has awarded the funds to the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) for the Clean Diesel project. These funds were made available through the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Funding will be used to purchase and install diesel emission reduction equipment on 85 Public Works and Utilities vehicles, 105 Lincoln Public School buses, eight Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) switchyard engines and seven NEBCO cement mixers.
"I want to commend the Health Department for aggressively pursuing these federal stimulus dollars, which will benefit our community's health and environment and our local economy," said Mayor Beutler. "I am especially pleased that the Health Department is working with partners outside of City government to make this a real community project. The Clean Diesel project also fits perfectly with our Cleaner Greener Lincoln Initiative."
"Our air quality staff has field tested the equipment, and it has proven to significantly reduce diesel emissions of particulate matter, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants and greenhouses gases," said Health Director Bruce Dart. He said the project will reduce diesel emissions by an estimated 17,000 pounds per year and 206,000 pounds over the lifetime of the vehicles.
Dart said the health benefits of the project will include reduced asthma attacks and other respiratory ailments as well as fewer lost school and work days. The BNSF locomotive switch engines involved in the project primarily operate in two rail yards that are adjacent to lower income neighborhoods. Dart said these areas have higher percentages of young children, older adults and racial and ethnic minorities, groups at the greatest risk from air pollution.
All vehicles and equipment are expected to remain in use for five to 15 years based on average life cycles and available replacement funding and policies. Diesel oxidation catalysts have been in use for up to 20 years and have proven to last for the life of the engine in many cases, especially if low sulfur fuel is used. Ultra low sulfur fuel is the only fuel distributed by local retailers for trucks and buses.
The LLCHD, which has jurisdiction for all of Lancaster County, is responsible for issuing permits under Title V of the Clean Air Act as well as minor and major source construction permits. The Department also performs comprehensive emissions inventories, conducts source inspections and monitors ambient air quality.

Forests, through growth of trees and an increase in soil carbon, contain a large part of the carbon stored on land. Forests present a significant global carbon stock. Global forest vegetation stores 283 Gt of carbon in its biomass, 38 Gt in dead wood and 317 Gt in soils (top 30 cm) and litter. The total carbon content of forest ecosystems has been estimated at 638 Gt for 2005, which is more than the amount of carbon in the entire atmosphere. This standing carbon is combined with a gross terrestrial uptake of carbon, which was estimated at 2.4 Gt a year, a good deal of which is sequestration by forests. Approximately half of the total carbon in forest ecosystems is found in forest biomass and dead wood.
Other terrestrial systems also play an important role. Most of the carbon stocks of croplands and grasslands are found in the below-ground plant organic matter and soil.
Human activities, through land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) activities, affect changes in carbon stocks between the carbon pools of the terrestrial ecosystem and between the terrestrial ecosystem and the atmosphere.
Management and/or conversion of land uses (e.g. forests, croplands and grazing lands) affects sources and sinks of CO2, CH4 and N2O. According to the IPCC WGIII (2007), during the decade of the 1990s, deforestation in the tropics and forest re-growth in temperate and boreal zones remained the major factors contributing to emissions and removals of greenhouse gases (GHG) respectively. The IPCC WG1 (2007) reported that estimated CO2 emissions associated with land-use change, averaged over the 1990s, were 0.5 to 2.7 GtC yr–1, with a central estimate of 1.6 GtCyr-1.
The role of LULUCF activities in the mitigation of climate change has long been recognized. Mitigation achieved through activities in the LULUCF sector, either by increasing the removals of GHGs from the atmosphere or by reducing emissions by sources, can be relatively cost-effective.
Estimated sectoral economic potential (Gt CO2-eq /yr) for global mitigation for forestry and agriculture as a function of carbon price (USD) in 2030 from bottom-up studies (Source: SPM IPCC 4AR, 2007)
However, the main drawback of LULUCF activities is their potential reversibility and non-permanence of carbon stocks as a result of human activities, (with the release of GHG into the atmosphere), disturbances (e.g. forest fires or disease), or environmental change, including climate change.General mitigation options could include forest-related activities such as reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation, enhancing the sequestration rate in new or existing forests, and using wood fuels and wood products as substitutes for fossil fuels and more energy-intensive materials. A variety of options for mitigation of GHG emissions also exists in other land systems. The most prominent example is agriculture, where options include improved crop and grazing land management (e.g., improved agronomic practices, nutrient use, tillage and residue management), restoration of organic soils that are drained for crop production, and restoration of degraded lands.

Thanks to everyone who attended my "Introduction to Microsoft's Master Data Services (MDS)" for the Data Architecture Virtual Chapter. The recording of the session is available here.
Here is the PowerPoint presentation: Introduction to Microsoft's Master Data Services (MDS)
I had some excellent questions at the end of the session, and here is more follow-up to my answers:
1) How do you provide high availability for MDS? If you are using SQL Sever 2012, check out Installing Master Data Services in an AlwaysOn Environment. To load-balance, check out Configuring a MDS load-balanced web farm using IIS v7 ARR. MDS will work in a clustered environment if you have CU1 installed: FIX: Master Data Services is not supported on a clustered installation of SQL Server 2012.
2) What are the licensing costs for Profisee Master Data Maestro? For that info, please contact Gene Webb, Senior Sales Executive at Profisee
3) Can you explain in more detail the "registry" hub architecture? I'll have a future blog post about this, but for now check out Master Data Management (MDM) Hub Architecture
Introduction to Microsoft's Master Data Services (MDS)
Companies struggle with consolidating the same set of data from multiple systems to accurately report on critical business information. For example, having customer lists in multiple systems that often have the same customer in more than one list, sometimes with a different spelling. Master Data Services is bundled with SQL Server 2012 to help resolve many of the Master Data Management issues that companies are faced with when integrating data. In this session, James will show an overview of Master Data Services 2012, including the out of the box Web UI, the highly developed Excel Add-in, and how to get started with loading MDS with your data.

vltiffin needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 174 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
I am starting a new peer-to-peer lending company that will connect borrowers and investors from across the globe. It is a win-win for both the borrower and the lender by facilitating personal loans at rates that are far superior to a credit card, and by offering investors an attractive return for their hard-earned money! I need a logo that is professional, but at the same time represents something fresh, exciting, modern, and innovative. This company's name is intended to represent a multitude of ideas, we are going to flip the conventional lending world upside down and revolutionize the process. Lend flip is also novel in the sense that it is peer to peer and offers a potential investor the chance to flip through various loans and find an attractive investment!
Our desired audience is a duality... we want to attract people with disposable income to invest in our system, as well as the person looking for a quick, easy personal loan.
Be creative! No limits! Need a logo that will be used on the website, company letterhead, everything that represents the company will use this logo!! I think something that incorporated the font used in the attached picture would be a neat idea for this concept; writing that can be read from either north or south
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

yes I agree with that.....but what I am talking about is the actual translation itself,the two translations you posted say the exact opposite of each other.Astus wrote:It is already known and agreed upon that the skandhas are impermanent (arising and ceasing). The self is necessarily permenent, not arising and not ceasing. If the self were the skandhas, the self would have to be impermanent. That is, being impermanent is a contradiction for the self, not for the skandhas. Therefore, the self cannot be the same as the skandhas.Son of Buddha wrote:So which one leads to arising and ceasing the aggregates or the self?
my next post I will highlight it.

A woman who allegedly appeared in a video in which she claimed to have been paid for sex with Sen. Bob Menendez is now saying the video was a setup.
An alleged Dominican prostitute who claimed on a video that she was paid to have sex with U.S. Sen Robert Menendez now says that it never happened and she was tricked into making the video.
According to documents distributed to the media Monday, the woman, Nexis de los Santos Santana, and a Dominican lawyer, Miguel Galván, entered sworn statements claiming they were duped as part of an elaborate plan hatched by a Dominican lawyer under the guise of a divorce case involving Menendez's longtime friend and donor, Dr. Salomon Melgen.
"I never went to bed with [Menendez or Melgen]. I don't know them," de los Santos, 23, said in the testimony. "They were going to pay me a lot."

She was one of two women who appeared in videos, first published last fall by the conservative website The Daily Caller, claiming to have been paid to have sex with Menendez. The senator and Melgen, a political benefactor and well-known Florida ophthalmologist, have repeatedly denied the allegations.
But the doctor and senator face other problems. Menendez still faces an ethics inquiry on Capitol Hill and the doctor is involved in a federal criminal investigation.
The Dominican woman's testimony appeared to be the first time one of the alleged prostitutes has come forward to disprove the tawdriest of the allegations. The videos developed into an FBI investigation after a tipster, who went by "Peter Williams" online, provided the names of several women and the dates they supposedly were hired by Melgen and Menendez. Those claims were eventually forwarded to FBI investigators and, later, placed online.
"Dr. Melgen is hopeful that the appropriate authorities will identify and prosecute the people who are responsible," his attorney, Kirk Ogrosky, said in a statement to The Miami Herald. "As he has maintained from day one, Dr. Melgen has been cooperating with authorities in every way possible and he denies any wrongdoing."
Menendez's office had no comment when contacted Monday evening.
Vinicio Castillo, a Dominican lawyer who held the Monday press conference, said that the testimonies were in the hands of the head of police, prosecutors and a special unit in charge of investigating high-tech crimes. Prosecutors last month opened a criminal investigation after Castillo filed a complaint. The prosecutor's office did not respond to calls Monday.
The Miami Herald could not independently verify the testimonies, entered Feb. 26 as part of a case filed in La Romana, a coastal city two hours east of the capital.
But in the copies of the testimonies, de los Santos and Galván said Dominican lawyer Melanio Figueroa approached them to record a video as part of a divorce proceeding.
Galván said he was contacted in mid-October by Figueroa to assist in a divorce case between a Dominican woman and Melgen, identified initially as a "Dominican doctor who lived out of the country" but who owned property in the resort development Casa de Campo.
The request came weeks before Menendez was re-elected to the Senate. Menendez has pointed out the timing as evidence that the allegations are part of a political smear campaign.
Galván said he was asked to find women to record videos. He turned to de los Santos, who was supposed to ask a friend to also record a video. They met at Jumbo, an upscale grocery and department store in La Romana, according to the testimony.
De los Santos was supposed to pose as a female "companion" of Melgen at his house in Casa de Campo, an exclusive tourism development outside of La Romana, according to her testimony.
"He claimed he would pay her $500, but only paid $100," Galván said in his testimony.
De los Santos said she never consented to record the video and that it was recorded with a hidden camera. However, in The Daily Caller video, in which she is allegedly the woman wearing yellow whose face is blurred out, she appears wearing an earpiece and answering questions.
Contacted briefly by phone Monday evening, Figueroa described allegations that he orchestrated the plan as "totally false."
"It was a case that I handled for these women and faithfully represented them for what they said," he said.
Figueroa said that it has been months since he has had contact with any of the women who appeared in the videos and that he no longer represented them. "These are lies by Galván," Figueroa said. "What he is saying is a lie."

Whoever is interviewing you left for the exact same reasons you want to. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3679093&forum_id=2#33808318)
Edit: The work-life balance mentioned by another poster is good, but for that's like 90% of the candidates. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3679093&forum_id=2#33809752)
- worked for me when I went inhouse a couple of years ago(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3679093&forum_id=2#33808669)
From my experience, some canned response like "I want to really get to know one business" is fine and inoffensive but complete bs that won't really resonate with any interviewer.(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3679093&forum_id=2#33808976)
This is one of them. It doesn't give any indication of laziness,which you seem awfully worried about presenting, so stick with the Cr.
BTW you have to ignore nutella in these threads sometimes because she's stupid cool and chill and brilliant and most people want someone like her next to them to make their days brighter.
She could literally huff her own fart in an interview and still seal the deal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3679093&forum_id=2#33809879)
Chances are if you have a big issue with it, there will generally be someone else that will flag it as an issue. My company has a deal committee, where we present big issues that the big wigs tell legal or business to go pound sand. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3679093&forum_id=2#33964608)
I work at one of the biggest companies, and even we get fucked over because Company Y is the market in A (so we get take it or leave it terms). Sometimes you may need to involve relationship managers to try and get a better deal or terms. This happens often when someone just signs the agreement without reviewing it, and it resurfaces for some unknown reason -- e.g., an amendment or some subsidiary wants to use it too. So, it's your job (x years later) as an atty to say: "Yea, whoever reviewed this was a complete idiot. We need to fix X, Y, and Z. If we can't I need to disclose the issues/potential risk, and you need to approve it." (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3679093&forum_id=2#33964690)

For over 5 years I have been researching, developing and conducting Aikido classes for combat veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which I term CRPTSD. The classes are taught at a VA hospital ward for CRPTSD. My basic concept is that, properly structured and taught, Aikido can complement and reinforce the ward's program of therapy. During this time, I have struggled to emphasize the therapeutic aspects of Aikido while remaining faithful to, and staying solidly grounded in, what I believe are the basic philosophical and theoretical principles underlying Aikido, the principles upon which, for me, Aikido practice and techniques are built.
I have recently learned about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy [ACT], a form of clinical behavior analysis (CBA) used in psychotherapy. It is an empirically-based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies mixed in different ways with commitment and behavior-change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. The approach was originally called comprehensive distancing. It was developed in the late 1980s by Steven C. Hayes, Kelly G. Wilson, and Kirk Strosahl. [unless otherwise indicated references are from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_and_commitment_therapy]
I have long felt that, intrinsically, Aikido has a strong therapeutic aspect. My own experience and my work with other vets with CRPTSD seems to bear this out. However, there didn't seem to be a "legitimized" psychotherapeutic discipline which would support this feeling and experience, and, in the therapeutic community, if you don't have a home in which to hang your hat, you can be regarded as a hobo, a ne'er-do-well. Most of the traditional psychological, psychoanalytic approaches, relying strongly on mental, emotional therapies, did not seem to accept what I feel is a need for a kinesthetic element. However, in ACT, I am finding much that is similar to what I believe are basic aspects and principles of Aikido.
A simple summary of ACT is:
Many problems are due to the concepts represented in the acronym, FEAR:
1. Fusion with your thoughts.
2. Evaluation of experience.
3. Avoidance of your experience.
4. Reason-giving for your behavior [excuses].
The healthy alternative is to ACT:
1. Accept your reactions and be present.
2. Choose a valued direction.
3. Take action.
ACT commonly employs six core principles to help clients develop psychological flexibility:
A. Cognitive diffusion: Learning methods to reduce the tendency to reify thoughts, images, emotions and memories.
B. Acceptance: Allowing thoughts to come and go without struggling with them.
C. Contact with the present moment: Awareness of the here and now, experienced with openness, interest and receptiveness.
D. Observing the self: Accessing a transcendent sense of self, a continuity of consciousness which is unchanging.
E. Values: Discovering what is most important to one's true self.
F. Committed action: Setting goals according to values and carrying them out responsibly.
If you compare these to the basic philosophical and theoretical principles I believe underlie the practices and techniques of effective Aikido, you can see some significant correlations.
I am treading on sensitive ground here. There are many, many opinions on exactly what were the underlying philosophical or spiritual principles of Morihei Ueshiba, O Sensei. There are even some who would question my right or ability to attempt any interpretation the founder. I have read many translations of his words, and the opinions and interpretations of many aikidoka with years committed, not only to practicing, but to serious thought as to what Aikido truly is. As I did this, the omnipresent fog of confusion began to envelope me. I realized that in order to "make Aikido my own", and to give my own practice greater depth and meaning, I would have to develop a philosophical underpinning, a set of principles that resonate with me, and that, albeit filtered through my gai jin western heritage and sensibilities, I hope remain faithful to what O Sensei wanted to bring to the world.
My hope is that these principles will enable me to develop my practice, and that my practice brings me to a deeper understanding of the underlying philosophy; and ultimately, will mean that I can do a better job with the vets.
I believe these principles are:
As embodied in Kokyu Royku [breath power] this entails bring one's entire essence of being [physical, emotional, mental, spiritual] into a relaxed, balanced, self-controlled state. Advanced centering can bring in one's surroundings, and for O Sensei, the universe.
This is neither smug, self-centeredness nor blind, passive acceptance of the negatives in the world, but being open to life with a non-prejudged recognition of the reality of now. One aspect in the randori of life is the welcoming of a "partner", whether an individual or a life situation, whether partners intent is threatening or supportive, negative or positive, with out prejudgement or a pre-determined course of action.
This entails capturing and guiding partner's essence/energy into your center and merging it with your essence/energy. From this point you only need to move and control your center in such a way that partner,s energy remains blended. Again, this applies to life situations, as well as in technique [waza].
The sheer joy, the elation of finding ways to bring my Aikido into my self, into my life, not just to deal more constructively with my own inner and outer devils and realities, but sometimes, even to do some small thing to make a better reality, a little better world. And the practice of Aikido, in the dojo and in life, must be joyful, and a hell of a lot of fun. Life should be joyful, let your corpse frown.
The ACT wording is different, but not entirely. And the process is more mentally/emotionally oriented, but not totally. And the desired result is focused on the individual, mostly. But, while the words may differ and the process predominantly a physical one and O Sensei's end result is literally universal, the similarities are significant, complementary and with great potential for supportive reinforcement. So, what I have discovered is that I haven't had to change the Aikido I teach the vets to bring it more into line with what I thought were psychologically valid practices. What I need to do is find the center, the essence of my Aikido; accept, absorb and blend the strength and energy of ACT practices and principles into what and how I teach; and feel the satisfaction, the joy, when one or more of the vets finds ways to take what I teach, and use it constructively with, for and in their lives.

Hi, I am a therapist that uses ACT in my therapy. I think you really are on to something here. The principles of ACT are well grounded in any Eastern practice that is meditative and not new but presented in a way for us to use without years in a monastery. I am so happy to hear about you helping veterans who are struggling with PTSD. Acceptance of the weird thoughts, feelings and body sensations that come out of a traumatized brain is a journey worth taking. If I might suggest a read that might be useful to you; Buddha's Brain by Rick Hanson. It gives a good explanation of how the brain is different when it is in "alert" mode. Thanks for the post.

DALLAS (AP) � A few weeks after Bryce Reed proclaimed he would personally protect a Texas town devastated by a deadly fertilizer plant explosion, he was arrested by federal agents who said he collected materials to make a pipe bomb, driving suspicion that he might have been behind the blast.
Now, Reed is mostly a footnote. While he will be sentenced Wednesday in Waco for charges related to the pipe bomb, the former paramedic was never charged in the explosion in West, about 80 miles south of Dallas, where residents and town officials are still working to rebuild homes and schools.
"I don't know if anybody's paid much attention to that guy," said Tommy Muska, the town's mayor. "In my opinion, he had absolutely nothing to do with the explosion."
An initial fire at West Fertilizer Co. led to the ignition of stores of ammonium nitrate, a chemical used as fertilizer that can become deadly when unstable. As many as 34 tons of ammonium nitrate detonated, causing an explosion that registered as a small earthquake and killed 12 people. It also displaced hundreds of residents and led to the demolition of more than 100 homes.
Reed, at the time a member of West EMS, became a self-appointed town spokesman, making dramatic and sometimes brash statements when most officials and residents declined to talk. Three days after the blast, he stood on a coffee table at the local Czech Inn hotel to tell displaced residents they were safe.
"You're safe where you're at," Reed said. "If you're not, I'd be dragging you out of here myself."
Reed told The Associated Press that he drove by the plant the night of the fire, but saw the truck of a volunteer firefighter who he believed would be able to handle the call. He said the firefighter, Cyrus Reed, was like a brother to him, even though the two weren't related.
Weeks later, Bryce Reed would be arrested and charged with collecting chemicals and a small, galvanized metal pipe that could be used to assemble a pipe bomb. According to court documents, he admitted to searching the Internet last December for "explosives," ''explosions," ''explosive ingredients" and "instructions for making explosives."
A federal complaint said that after the blast, Reed tried to give the materials he had collected to a friend, who alerted authorities.
It emerged after his arrest that Reed had been dismissed as a town paramedic two days after the blast for unspecified reasons. Cyrus Reed's family denied that the two men were particularly close.
Officials then and now took pains to distance themselves from his announcements.
"He had no authority," Muska said Tuesday. "I guess he was looking for his 15 minutes of glory. I don't know."
Reed's May arrest came as federal investigators and the State Fire Marshal's Office were in the middle of an investigation that had not yet yielded answers, leading to questions about whether Reed had any role in the blast. The Texas Rangers and the local sheriff's office announced after Reed's arrest that they were opening their own criminal investigation. Neither investigation led to any criminal charges.
Reed's attorney, Jonathan Sibley, has repeatedly called on federal authorities to clear Reed, saying he never intended to hurt anyone.
"If there was anything out there that anybody had linking Bryce Reed to the West Fertilizer plant ... we would have seen something about that," Sibley said in an October interview. He did not return several messages this week.

Maybe it was purely by chance that Bernadette Peters was booked to perform at UNLV's Ham Hall during this weekend of Gay Pride celebrations. However it happened, it's the happiest of coincidences, because Peters is the reigning empress of Broadway, and by rights, Ruler of All Show Queens.
"Hello, Joe, it's Bernadette," she says — her voice bubbles and giggles and glitters. Starstruck, I all but kneel in front of the phone.
You might not think of the Vegas Strip when you think of this Broadway baby, but Peters has a history with our town. Born in Queens, New York, the actress first played Vegas at age 13 when a road company of Gypsy played the Riviera. Later she would develop a lifelong, career-defining collaborative relationship with preeminent musical-theater composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim.
The Details
- Bernadette Peters
- May 1, 8 p.m., $45-$90
- UNLV's Ham Hall, 895-2787
Peters will be singing lots of — but not only — Sondheim on Sunday, of course, buoyed by a 26-piece orchestra. She'll also be singing a self-penned song that accompanies her new children's book, Stella Is a Star! "My passion is helping shelter animals," she says, "and this is my second book and my second song that I wrote. It's about a dog that doesn't think anyone likes her, so she's masquerading as a pig of the highest order, a princess pig. But it's really about not judging people so quickly from the outside, and also about learning to love and accept yourself for who you are. Which is something we usually have to learn how to do."
The book comes with a CD of Peters reading the story and singing the song. And then she is singing it to me. To me alone. Don't be afraid to be who you are/That's what I want to see...
And this show queen can now die happy.

The intermediary has already approached agencies to invite them to pitch for what is understood to be a national brief promoting the chain. Oystercatchers was not available for comment.
Jamie's Italian is positioned as an "authentic, affordable Italian restaurant" and has launched ambitious expansion plans. Established as a rival to Carluccio's, also backed by a celebrity chef, Antonio Carluccio, Jamie's Italian has more than 30 restaurants in its national chain and is expanding globally.
Oliver and the Italian chef Gennaro Contaldo founded Jamie's Italian in Oxford in 2008. Oliver worked with Contaldo at London's Neal Street Restaurant in the early 90s.
As well as the UK chain, Jamie's Italian has restaurants in Australia, Dubai, Ireland, Russia, Singapore and Turkey.
Since ending his long-term relationship with Sainsbury's in 2011, Oliver's commercial deals have included devising a "deli-inspired" lunchtime range of food with Boots and starring in a Philips ad campaign for its HomeCooker range.

Hello everyone,
I am ordering a few custom made line extensions.
They will have universal loop/knot combinations on both ends, therefore they will fit with any setup.
Material is the same as North'.
I order at kiteleinen.com, Peter is obviously a very friendly and competent guy.
Prices are quite fair. For 3 line extension sets (a 4 lines) incl. shipping EU I pay 150-180 Euros, depending on the length of the lines.
So here is my question:
My Naish Drafts come with a 3 meter extension set already. I ride a 24m North Quad bar with it.
I thought of the following setups:
24m lines on the bar
3m --> 27 extensions that come with the Draft kites
To be ordered:
6m --> 30m
9m -> 33m
12m --> 36m
What do you think? Does that give me enough flexibility to find the right length of lines I prefer or are 3m steps too big?
I guess I am going to end up flying the Draft 17m2 with 27m lines, the Draft 14m2 with 30m lines and the Draft 12m with 33m lines (or all of them with even 3m+)
I use the inner setting of the North bar and do not intend to customise it - making it shorter etc.
I know that longer lines generate more power - so the two effects I am looking for like slower steering / less power might not work out well sometimes (especially in strong wind)
Your thoughts?

I own one of his original private blend lipsticks...Didn't care for the formula or wear time. When you're paying over $40 for a lipstick, it has to be special. Tom Fords lipstick formula isn't special to begin with, let alone the price point for what you were getting. His current lipsticks now are worse formula-wise. It accentuates flakies, the color only lasts an hour or so. It doesn't hydrate your lips, which is fine...but it isn't long lasting either. The only good thing about Tom Ford lipsticks is that he has a few nice nude shades.
When I went to the counter years ago, I swatched Golden Mink quad, his concealer, his foundation...all of which are horrible. The concealer doesn't conceal, the foundation transfers far more than Chantecaille Future Skin. Don't even get me started about the Golden Mink quad -- it's patchy, dry, and the glitter falls out everywhere. I thought to myself, "How can people love this? It's far worse in quality than the worst YSL products."
Okay, then I was suggested to try his blushes...the texture isn't special. If anything they are a bit powdery and subpar in smoothness than other blushes offered by other lines for the same price point. Some of the shades are dupable.
Then you have Tom Ford himself. Yes I do think he makes amazing attire, but at the same time, I had this high expectation that if he makes the most amazing clothes, that the makeup would be on the same level. Sadly, it's not. Not to mention Tom Ford make these kinds of comments. Um. OK.
Of course a lot of people discuss how much they love Tom Ford makeup, but then you would find out said people would get it for free. *eyeroll*
Over time I think something happened, because then we now have Enchanted quad and Narcissist blush. Maybe it's a fluke that these items are just that awesome, or maybe it's a trend of what may happen in the future -- better quality items.
Now that I finally had the opportunity to write how I truly feel about the makeup line...I still think his products are not even that great...but I do love some Enchanted !
Packaging: Signature Burgundy/Maroon colored packaging with gold accents. I'm sure all of you are familar with the appearance of TF packaging. I like it because it's sturdy, and a little 70's looking to me. It doesn't seem to scratch easily, which I really enjoy. The quads come with an eyeshadow applicator (double ended), but it also has a small brush. I tried using it and I personally find it useless (eyeshadow doe foot applicator), but maybe it's helpful to someone. Can we discuss the small brush, the white hair side is slighting fraying already? I haven't even used it because I personally am not a fan of the few brushes I've tried.
Texture/Formula: Enchanted is a beautiful cool-toned quad. Pinks that flashes a bit of purple in some lighting once applied. It's a bit dry in terms of texture, but it glides on smoothly, not powdery, nor chalky. It's not as emollient or has that silk feeling like RBR or Burberry, for those who are wondering. I do like a dry eyeshadow formula because some super silky eyeshadows sometimes crease. These definitely do not. I really adore this quad as it is by itself dry. Haven't used it wet (I'm generally not a fan of using eyeshadows wet...I don't know why). My favorite eyeshadow in terms of texture is the darkest one. It's a satin finish, and it's straight up beautiful. Some small sparkle, and it's so easy to work with, unlike some other satin finish formulas.
Price and Size: $75 for 6 grams or 0.21 oz.

The popular Windows Phone title Wheel of Wealth has been updated for Windows Phone 8. The Wheel of Fortune-styled game recently launched on Windows 8, but only sported an online mode. We've seen Wheel of Wealth disappear from the Windows Phone Store, only to reappear again, but it's good to see the developer continuing to support the platform.
So what's new in version 2.5? The game is taking advantage of new features introduced in Windows Phone 8, including multiple sized Live Tiles. If you're an avid player and wish to keep on top of notifications and gameplay, Wheel of Wealth also supports lock screen notifications. The game has had its UI revamped to better reflect Windows Phone elements.
We've been informed that future plans involved in-app purchases, which will provide consumers with the opportunity to play the game without advertising. Windows Phone 7 users will not be left in the dark as compatible features will also make their way to those who are sticking with previous generation hardware (or new low-end Windows Phones).

Emily Bett Rickards now an 'Arrow' series regular
NEW YORK (AP) — Talk about making a good impression. Actress Emily Bett Rickards was happy when she scored a one-off role on the CW's "Arrow" last year.
Bett Rickards played IT girl Felicity Smoak on the action-adventure series, which stars Stephen Amell as billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, who secretly fights crime and corruption with a bow and arrow.
"It was one episode, two scenes," the 22-year-old Canadian actress recalled.
Her portrayal of a person with tech-savvy smarts — and a funny, sweet stream-of-consciousness rhythm to her speech — caught on with viewers. She was brought back for more episodes, and by the end of the season, she was a part of Queen's inner circle.
She's now a regular on the series, which returns for a second season Wednesday night (8 p.m. EDT).
Bett Rickards talked about "Arrow," snacking on the set and doing stunt work during a recent interview with The Associated Press.
AP: You're doing stunts this season. Is that fun?
Bett Rickards: I like doing stunts because I'm very physical, I always grew up with sports. It's a different part of acting. That part is really educational and I'm still learning. It can be painful, too. Our stunt doubles are so trained in making sure they don't hurt the next day. My body's not used to doing it.
AP: Is it strange to have stunt doubles?
Bett Rickards: I said once (that) I want fair warning every time my stunt double is on set because we're the same build, she's got blond hair, you put her in a dress and the same makeup, it's like looking in a mirror. The first time I saw her I (gasped) because your brain kind of knows what it is but you're still shocked. (Laughs.) She's fabulous. And even seeing someone else's stunt double is weird. ... My stunt double, Kim, is married to Stephen's stunt double, Simon. They're the cutest couple!
AP: Stephen Amell has to stay in tiptop shape for his role. Does he avoid craft services to keep those abs?
Bett Rickards: Oh, he's a grazer. He eats. Yeah, he does. It's different for men than it is for women. ... We'll go and we'll grab a handful of almonds. .. He and David (Ramsey) come back with coffee cups full of almonds. (Laughs.)
AP: There are fans rooting for an Oliver-Felicity romance. What do you think?
Bett Rickards: It has to be earned. ... It could happen but it also could not because they are friends and they're also dealing with life and death every day. ... I think if they were to get together so early, I wonder if it would lose sweetness or a friendship compatibility.

Nokia admits killing off Widsets
It was the Finns, behind the Ovi, with the candlestick
Posted in Networks, 30th June 2009 12:47 GMT
The first effective platform for mobile widgets, Widsets, was killed by Nokia back in April - but no one noticed as the company successfully obfuscated the murder behind Ovi.
Nokia's all-encompassing brand Ovi has swallowed up several services including Download! and MOSH, but unlike the other services Widsets was a platform on which widgets could be developed and deployed - among the first, and certainly the most influential, of such platforms, having been launched in October 2006.
Nokia is still saying that Widsets has "evolved into Ovi", or that the service has been "moved into" the Ovi store, which is true for many services, but not for Widsets. When we tried to get absolute confirmation of Widset's demise out of Nokia we were first told that the platform was alive and well, under the Ovi brand. When we pointed out this didn't appear to be the case, we were told that more technical people would get back to us, then that they were all busy celebrating mid-summer, then that they were on holiday, and finally that Widsets as a platform is dead - something that even Wikipedia hasn't yet noticed.
Widset developers are, of course, welcome to create new apps and sell them through Ovi - they could even create widgets for Symbian's Web Runtime - but code developed to the Widsets specification now has nowhere to run.
Widsets wasn't a great widget platform, but it was a pretty good one, and the first to properly demonstrate what widgets could do on a mobile phone. Users could add and remove widgets dynamically, using their mobile handset or a desktop client that mirrored the mobile experience including personal account details - though not terribly well.
By hosting widgets in a Java client Widsets was supported on any Java-enabled handset, and came pre-loaded on some Nokia ones, but the use of Java also made it epically slow to launch on most platforms.
Once it had loaded one could scroll around its extended-desktop interface and view one's widgets, some of which would still be updating as developers used the platform to try out new ideas and see what was possible. Widget versions of Minesweeper probably didn't do the concept justice, but a widget version of Dilbert was welcomed and the platform was alive with widgets for the weather, sports scores and suchlike, all developed in "WidSets Scripting Language" - a proprietary language which exposed much of Java's functionality to the widget developer.
However, Java is out of favour these days; everyone wants to use AJAX for their widget development. So the latest Nokia S60 handsets support Web Runtime for widgets and Widsets became a distraction for developers, and Nokia, so had to be killed off. But to disappear without a trace, deleted from history and destined to be described as a forerunner to an online store with which it has nothing in common is an ignominious end for a platform that showed how widgets could make the mobile internet better, even if it never managed to achieve that itself. ®

Today I am sharing this recipe that I received from my sister Sandy, who is an accomplished cook, wife, mother, O.B. nurse and all around swell gal. She shares recipes often and this one is really wonderful. Our guests enjoyed these this morning, I made some modifications, as our guests have nut allergies, so I just adjusted accordingly. I must admit versatility is one of the things I really appreciate in a recipe, so this is a keeper for me. I am especially excited that we actually remembered to take a photo prior to serving our guests this morning. I hope you enjoy making these, and moreover enjoy eating them with your friends and family.
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
1 can (14 1/2 ounce) pumpkin or sliced carrots, drained
1 3/4 cups flour ( Sandy used whole wheat pastry flour, I have used all purpose flour and a combination of wheat and white flours)
1 cup sugar ( Sandy used 1/2 cup organic cane sugar)
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. each ground allspice, cloves and nutmeg ( I have also used ground mace, in place of the nutmeg)
1/2 to 1 tsp. chopped crystallized ginger
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil ( I have also used walnut oil or almond oil with good results)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened ( Sandy used light cream cheese)
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
Combine pumpkin or pureed carrots with egg and oil. In a separate bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, spices and nuts. Combine wet and dry ingredients until moistened. Fill 12 greased muffin cups one third full. In a small mixing bowl, beat the filling ingredients until smooth. Drop by Tablespoon full into the center of each muffin. Top with remaining batter. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.
p.s. I normally make these in Texas muffin pans, which are larger muffins so they make 6 instead of 12 standard muffins.

This 360° panorama was taken at twilight on the shoreline of Lough Foyle between the town of Moville and the fishing port of Greencastle on the Eastern coast of the Inishowen peninsula in County Donegal, Ireland.
In the nineteenth century Moville was the final embarkation point for many emigrants who left this area for a new life in America. In the mid-twentieth century Moville had many of the qualities of a sea-side town for outings by the population of the City of Derry which lies twenty miles up river.
The panorama is shown here as an equi-rectangular image with a 2:1 aspect ratio, that is, it represents a 360° view left to right and 180°s top to bottom.
The same scene is also available here as a Stereographic panorama:
The source images were shot on a Canon EOS 5d DSLR with a 16mm fisheye lens and stitched together using the free open-source program Hugin, which in turn invokes a program called Enfuse to blend the exposures and create the HDR effect.
Because of the way that it was created this is a very high resolution image (the equivalent of about 32-megapixels). It′s capable of delivering very fine detail even when printed at massive sizes.
I have written a short journal entry introducing the method by which these panoramas are created, it is called:
"Creating a Stereographic Panorama – the Basic Idea"
It has been featured by fifteen Redbubble groups, including:

A man out on day release from a mental health ward jumped in front of a train after ditching his friend in a pub.
Gerard Naughton, 58, a court clerk from Putney, was on a day out from a psychiatric ward at Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton, when he abandoned his friend in a pub and took his own life.
Police and ambulance services were called to Wimbledon station at 1.46pm to reports of a person struck by a train on Saturday, October 5.
Mr Naughton served in the civil service for most of his professional life and was a passionate fan of horse-racing.
He suffered from periods of ill mental health, brought on by horrors he heard as a court clerk in the family courts of Wandsworth County Court.
After an earlier attempt to commit suicide by taking a drug overdose he was admitted to psychiatric care.
Mr Naughton had been out with his good friend, Andrew Rankin, on the day he died.
Mr Rankin, who met Mr Naughton at a spanish language course in Putney in 1978, said: "Mr Naughton was my oldest friend. He was a likeable, friendly person who would help anybody."
The hearing on Thursday, March 13, at the Royal Courts of Justice in London concluded Mr Naughton took his own life while the balance of his mind was disturbed.

More Politics
By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — A businessman at his core, Mitt Romney was legendary in the private sector for his reliance on reams of information and extensive research to decide which companies to take over.
When interviewing potential employees, he favored question-and-answer sessions designed to make recruits think on their feet and provide clues about how they approached situations.
"I like gathering data and information so that you don't just have people just expressing their opinions, but you actually have numbers and facts and figures and people to look to and to find out what's really happening," Romney told C-SPAN recently. "And then with the information you have, you make the decision."
Now, as the Republican presidential candidate weighs a running mate, it's a good bet that he's relying on that same methodical approach and interviewing style that he honed at Bain and Co. and the private equity firm he helped start, Bain Capital. The style even has its own name: The Bain Way.
"This is going to be a very long process. A lot of information is going to be involved," Romney adviser Kevin Madden said recently, though he was quick to add, "Ultimately it comes down to a one-man decision."
Judging by Romney's record when it comes to business and personnel choices, it's a process that could prove challenging for any of the prospective vice presidential nominees he scrutinizes.
Not that Romney or his team rush to talk in public about who those people are or how close he is to making a decision. On Tuesday, Romney was forced to make a rare on-camera statement that his team was considering Sen. Marco Rubio as a running mate. His statement in Holland, Mich., sought to quiet outrage over reports that the promising Cuban-American from crucial swing state Florida was not getting a proper consideration.
The hush-hush nature of the search partly reflects how Romney used to do business in his decades in the private sector. Much like when Romney's team investigated a company for a potential takeover, his political aides are trying to be discreet as they cull public records and prepare to start whittling a short list before presenting their boss with a final recommendation for a running mate.
The most Romney has said about his search for a No. 2, the biggest decision he'll make before the election: Being prepared to be president is his top criterion.
That factor and the methodical selection process run counter to how 2008 GOP nominee John McCain chose the untested Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palin was a risky selection that raised questions about McCain's decision-making.
Obama went with Joe Biden, a veteran senator who twice had run for the White House and had been screened thoroughly.
Eight years before that, George W. Bush choose a Washington veteran in Dick Cheney, a former congressman, White House chief of staff and defense secretary who initially was in charge of finding Bush a running mate.
Romney's search is well under way and Republican insiders suggest an announcement could come as early as next month.
His years in business shed light not just on how he's running his campaign, but also on how he may behave in the White House.
Those who worked with Romney in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s at the Boston-based firm describe a savvy executive who arrived to meetings armed with tons of information he would study before making decisions. They talk of a leader who oversaw thousands of detailed interviews as he considered whom to hire. All this, they say, still is referred to as The Bain Way.
"The whole process is very methodological," William Oliver, who worked directly for Romney at Bain and Co. in the 1980s and now teaches at Brandeis International Business School. "It's numbers and it's analysis."
When it came to big decisions about what companies to take over, every trait was measured on a scale, every answer in an interview assigned a numerical value and every variable considered over and over. There was no room for a gut feeling or a hunch when choosing whether to invest in a company. If the numbers didn't work, Romney's team usually wouldn't gamble on an investment.
The results made Bain a top-tier brand and Romney wealthy.
Bain Capital invested about $2.5 million in the early days of Staples. The first store opened in 1986 and, when the chain went public three years later, Bain pulled in $13 million. Bain turned a $5 million investment in Accuride's tire rim line into a $121 million boon.
But there were failures, too. Bain lost most of its $2.1 million investment in a bathroom fixture company and saw a handbag company fail after a $4 million investment.
When choosing employees, Romney's team put applicants through a series of questions designed to test quick thinking and critical analysis.
What is the revenue of a London music festival? How can Bain help a European airline turn around its declining profits? What would an applicant do if he didn't get a second interview?
It wasn't that the interviewers expected applicants to know how many taxis were actually in New York City. Rather, they wanted to see how the applicant would figure out an answer on the fly.
"We're talking very analytical attention to details, we're talking about a deep dive into the operations of a company," said Howard Anderson, a senior lecturer at MIT's Sloan School of Management who has studied both Bain and Romney. "By the time Bain makes an investment, they know more about the company than the company knows about itself."
Romney will end up knowing just as much about his running mate.
He has spent a considerable amount of time studying the benefits and drawbacks of potential candidates such as Rubio, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte. Others who may be in the mix include New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell.
Data and research are driving the weeding-out process for the rest. Tough interviews with Romney are all but certain to follow for those who make the cut.
"My criteria is: Who can be president if that were necessary?" Romney told the Des Moines Register this week.
