U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
WASHINGTON - By a 6-3 vote, the United States Supreme Court today ruled in EEOC v. Waffle House, Inc. (No. 99-1823) that a private arbitration agreement between an individual and that individual's employer does not prevent the EEOC from filing a court action in its own name and recovering monetary damages for the individual. The Supreme Court reversed a lower court decision that had prevented the EEOC from recovering monetary damages on behalf of an individual who had previously agreed with his employer to arbitrate the individual's private claim of discrimination.
"The Supreme Court's decision reaffirms the significance of the EEOC's public enforcement role," said EEOC Chair Cari M. Dominguez. "The ruling embraces the view that, as the agency entrusted to enforce the federal statutes prohibiting discrimination in the workplace, the EEOC is not constrained in any way by a private arbitration agreement to which the EEOC is not a party. The decision also acknowledges, as does the EEOC, the goals of efficiency and economy that may be furthered in particular cases by the private arbitration system."
The Supreme Court recognized that the EEOC is authorized to bring suit in its own name and that the EEOC has the prerogative, as a federal enforcement agency, to decide what relief is appropriately sought in a particular action brought by the EEOC. The Supreme Court rejected the argument that the EEOC is a mere proxy for the individuals for whom it seeks relief in its actions, ruling that the EEOC is the "master of its own case" and can decide to bring a claim for monetary damages in court, even though the individual for whom the EEOC seeks relief would be required to pursue his or her own claim in arbitration.
EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, which protects workers 40 years of age and older; the Equal Pay Act; prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal sector; sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991; and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments. Further information about the Commission is available on its Web site at www.eeoc.gov.

A Mini Boxwood Wreath
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
I love using evergreens just about everywhere during the holidays. So last night I made a little wreath to hang around our deer's neck.
These are the items I used to make the mini wreath. This is my favorite wire and I use it for all things wreath and floral related. It is so easy to use and strong - double bonus! Plus it practically disappears once you are finished. You can find it at most craft stores.
I began by slightly overlapping the cuttings. It looks best when you cannot see the beginning or end of a stem.
I continued doing this until I had a length long enough to fit around the neck of the deer.
Once I had the length I needed, I bent the wreath around the neck of the deer and connected the two ends with wire. Any stray sprigs were trimmed or tucked back into the wreath.
Tada! Easy boxwood bling!

The Giving Time of Year.
It's been awhile since I talked about Warm The World. I'm still knitting as much as I can for them and earlier this month, I attended their monthly meeting.
Felicia and I set out on a Saturday morning to meet Nan (the founder and passion behind Warm The World) and some other volunteers. I've met Nan before, but this was the first time I've seen her set up and met other volunteers in person.
To say the least, I was impressed all over again.
Warm The World is an entirely volunteer operation. There are no paid staff members. Not one.
All yarn, needles, hooks, and patterns are donated.
Anything that you can donate will be greatly appreciated. Anything. You may not think that one pair of needles or a partial skein of yarn is worth donating, but think about if just a few people donated their leftovers.
Literally every little bit of yarn, every needle, every hook, every pattern and every dollar that is donated will be put to use helping others.
Warm The World is the real deal: a charity that does what it says it does. There's no catch and no 'funny business'. There's just Nan and her team of volunteers.
If you're going to donate to charity this year, please consider Warm The World. Take time to click around their website and learn about this wonderful organization. Their newsletters can be found here.
Felicia also blogged about our visit to Warm The World (she even took pictures!) and you can find those posts here and here.
For the past few weeks, it seems that every news story I see/read and every blog post I come across is talking about what presents a person is giving/receiving. That's all fine and good, but please remember that there are people in this world who can't afford something as simple as a warm winter scarf.
Let's help Nan warm the world: one scarf, one hat and one blanket at a time.

Iran not cooperating with inspection of nuclear sites, IAEA chief says
'We cannot conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities,' Yukiya Amano warns
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The UN nuclear chief said Monday that Iran is not cooperating with an investigation into suspected secret work on nuclear weapons.
Yukiya Amano told the UN General Assembly that talks between the International Atomic Energy Agency and Iran have intensified this year after an IAEA report in November 2011 said it had "credible information that Iran had carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device," he said.
"However, no concrete results have been achieved so far," Amano said.
While the IAEA continues to verify that Iran's declared nuclear material is not being diverted from peaceful purposes, "Iran is not providing the necessary cooperation to enable us to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities," Amano said.
"Therefore, we cannot conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities," he said.
Iran has repeatedly denied any interest in possessing nuclear arms, but the international community fears that Tehran may turn its peaceful uranium enrichment program toward weapons making — a concern that is growing as the government expands the number of machines it uses to enrich its stockpile of enriched uranium.
As those fears grow, so does concern that Israel could carry out its threats to attack Iran's nuclear facilities before that nation reaches the bomb-making threshold.
In his annual report to the world body, Amano said he also remains "seriously concerned" about North Korea's nuclear program, calling its statements about uranium enrichment activities and the construction of a light water reactor "deeply troubling."
In late 2010, Pyongyang unveiled a uranium enrichment facility that could give North Korea a second route to manufacture nuclear weapons in addition to its plutonium-based program. Earlier this year, satellite images showed that North Korea has made progress in building a light-water reactor to expand its nuclear program.
North Korea is under tough UN sanctions, and Amano called on Pyongyang to comply with its obligations under Security Council resolutions and the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and "to cooperate promptly and fully" with the IAEA.
IAEA inspectors were most recently expelled three years ago after the North quit talks with five key nations, including the United States, on halting its nuclear weapons program. North Korea restarted its nuclear facilities less than a month later. In May 2009, it conducted its second nuclear weapons test.
Amano also urged the Syrian government to respond to questions about a building destroyed by Israeli warplanes at the Dair Alzour site in the Syrian desert in 2007. The IAEA has said the building was "very likely" the covert site of a nuclear reactor.
The United States asserted more than four years ago that the bombed target was a nuclear reactor, but Syria has repeatedly denied allegations of any covert nuclear activity or interest in developing nuclear arms, saying the building was a non-nuclear military site.

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity
In the midst of Thine infinite happiness, Thou didst choose me, through no merits of mine, in preference to countless other creatures, who would doubtless have corresponded with Thy blessings better than I have done; Thou didst love me from eternity; and when my hour in time had come, Thou didst draw me from nothingness into earthly existence and didst bestow upon me Thy grace, as a pledge of everlasting life.
From the depths of my misery, I adore Thee and I give Thee thanks. Thy holy Name was invoked over my cradle to be my profession of faith, my plan of action, and the only goal of my earthly pilgrimage; grant, O most Holy Trinity, that I may ever be inspired by this faith, and may carry out this plan with perseverance, so that, when I have reached the end of my journey upon earth, I may be able to fix my gaze upon the blessed splendours of Thy glory.

tuesday - cannes!!
topshop dress, chanel glasses, owl necklace was a gift from my sister, feather ring from f21, other ring vintage
i've been doing too much lately and finally got sick today. i caught up on sleep and did my laundry (possibly one of the reasons i'm sick? i feel like my feet get so dirty on my floor from the streets and then get in my bed and then i am in my bed…) i'm feeling a little better now. and i'm getting liquiteria food later too to cleanse!!
big news though! i'm probably going to cannes film festival!! my friend john's film got in and so i'm going to go along with him and shoot some street style and have a great time! just as long as i figure out my apartment situation, because i need to move out of my dorm right as cannes is happening.
does anyone know anyone who lives near cannes that would be able to house 2 of us for a few days? :) :)
we also are planning on being in paris for about 3 days too!
i got this dress at topshop's sale the other day and am so excited to wear it in france.

Disney, Wal-Mart clothes found in rubble of fatal fire in Bangladesh
DHAKA, Bangladesh — A hooded Mickey Mouse sweatshirt from Disney. Piles of children's shorts with Wal-Mart's Faded Glory label. Clothes with hip-hop star Sean Combs' ENYCE tag.
The garment factory in Bangladesh where 112 people were killed in a fire during the weekend was used by a host of major U.S. and European retailers, an Associated Press reporter discovered Wednesday from clothes and account books left amid the blackened tables and melted sewing machines at Tazreen Fashions Ltd.
Wal-Mart had been aware of safety problems at the factory and said it had decided well before the blaze to stop doing business with it. But it said a supplier had continued to use Tazreen without authorization.
Sears, likewise, said its merchandise was being produced there without its approval through a vendor, which has since been fired. The Walt Disney Co. said its records indicate that none of its licensees have been permitted to make Disney-brand products at the factory for at least a year. Combs' Sean Jean Enterprises did not return calls for comment.
Labor activists have long contended that retailers in the West bear a responsibility to make sure the overseas factories that manufacture their products are safe. They seized on the blaze — the deadliest in Bangladesh's nearly 35-year history of exporting clothing — to argue that retailers must insist on more stringent fire standards.
Charles Kernaghan, director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, said nothing will change unless clothing companies protect workers as vigorously as they do their brands.
"The labels are legally protected," he said. "But there are no similar laws to protect rights of the worker." Bangladesh's fast-growing garment industry — second only to China's in exports — has long provided jobs and revenue for the desperately poor country, while turning out the low-priced products shoppers in the United States and other countries have come to enjoy.
But the industry has a ghastly safety record; more than 300 workers have died in garment factory fires in Bangladesh since 2006.
On Wednesday, police arrested three factory officials suspected of locking in the workers who died in Saturday's blaze on the outskirts of Dhaka. Police Chief Habibur Rahman said the three will be questioned. About 1,400 people worked at the factory, about 70 percent of them women. Survivors said exit doors were locked, and a fire official said the death toll would have been much lower if the eight-story building had had an emergency exit.
The fire broke out on the ground floor, where a factory worker named Nasima said stacks of yarn and clothes blocked part of the stairway. Nasima, who uses only one name, and other workers said that when they tried to flee, managers told them to go back to their work stations.
Thick smoke filled the stairway, and when the lights went out the workers were left in total darkness. Another worker, Mohammad Rajib, said some people used their cellphones to light their way.
"Everyone was screaming for help," Nasima said. "Total chaos, panic and screaming. Everyone was trying to escape and come out. I was pulling the shirt of a man. I fainted and when I woke up I found myself lying on the road outside the factory. I don't know how I survived."
Rajib said the factory conducted a fire drill just three days before the tragedy.
Workers expressed support for the factory owner, Delwar Hossain. Rajib said he is "a gentle man" who heeded workers when they protested for more pay and against rough treatment by some managers.
"He took action and fired some of them," he said. "He did not sack any worker. He told us: 'You are my people. If you survive, I will survive.'"
Most of the fire's devastation took place on the second and third floors. Sewing and embroidery machines and tables burned to ashes and ceiling fans melted.
Nightgowns, children's shorts, pants, jackets and sweatshirts were strewn about, piled up in some places, boxed in others. Cartons of kids' hooded sweaters, off-white with red and black print, were marked "Disney Pixar." Among the Disney garments was a gray sweatshirt emblazoned with the image of Lightning McQueen, the star of Pixar's "Cars" movies.
At least four register books listed such buyers as Wal-Mart, Disney and Sears.

Egypt isn't what it appears to be in the media...but that's no real surprise, since not much is. I moved here in the late 80's from Toronto, Canada, with my Canadian/Egyptian husband, my son and my daughter. The children adapted quickly and we decided that this country was a good place to live. Now I wouldn't change my home for anything.

What a Difference a Year Has Made
Like virtually everyone else in Egypt I was totally blown away by the events of January 25 and the following three weeks. We stayed on the farm glued to Jazeera English, CNN and BBCWorld. Time went into a strange form with calls checking in with my kids in New York twice a day when the phones were working, and manic rage when the internet and phones were cut here. Fear and anxiety for young (and old) friends in Tahrir and other protests in Egypt became the overwhelming emotions as story after story of the horrors being inflicted on prisoners, citizens, and protesters flowed in. After a while, the horrible became disturbingly normal. People I knew from internet connections were arrested and beaten, friends of friends were shot by snipers, and one of my closest young friends was attacked and nearly killed by a mob of thugs near Kasr el Aini hospital when she went to give blood. The local neighbourhood watch committees filled us with pride at the willingness of the Egyptians to care for themselves came to the fore, since it was pretty obviously that the part of our government that was supposed to be a source of order was in fact a source of disorder. I'm old enough to remember where I was when John Kennedy was killed, when the Berlin Wall was built and when it fell, what I was doing on the morning of the Cuban missile crisis, to have gone to classes in university through clouds of tear gas...I've seen plenty of excitement, thank you, in my life, but nothing ever came close to those three weeks.
Like many in Egypt, we wept with delight on February 11 when Mubarak stepped down, thinking also like everyone else that this would mean some real changes. On February 12 we drove down to Beni Suef to buy some new goats for our herd, a maie Google and two females, Twitter and Horreya. And then we began watching events unfold. Oh my, what a year. What disappointment. We did have a few brave visitors who came to see a post-revolutionary Egypt, and most of them were fascinated and delighted. But as summer came on and events became more complicated and less visitor-friendly, fewer and fewer people came to visit Egypt.
This fall has been a time of watching elections, protests, strange responses to protests, and much worry about the future of our country as it isn't clear that the military really have any intentions to follow the work of Jan/Feb to its conclusions. Tonight I understand that a prayer/vigil is planned for Tahrir to commemorate the martyrs of the struggle. Hopefully, it will be peaceful. I'm hoping for an improvement after the elections, but the signs are not so brilliant. We may have another interesting January to find our way through. Guess maybe it's time to stock up on Cheetos.

All the best for you, yours and Egypt in the new year. Thank you for your blog.
Count my daughter among the people who canceled their plans to visit Egypt last year. She is still fighting her loss from that:
Hi Friends! Many of you know that our plans to travel to Egypt in March of 2011 were dashed with the civil unrest there. You may not know that we have been unable to secure a refund from the tour company we planned to use. On The Go Tours OTG had our money for less than 30 days when we contacted them to cancel because of the growing violence in Egypt. To this day, we have fought the good fight but have not been able to get a refund.
We appealed to On The Go Tours directly for a refund, we contested the charge to our credit card with the bank, we asked for help from the Kansas Attorney General's Office, we asked for help from the Sedgwick Country District Attorney, we asked for assistance from Chris Elliott newspaper travel editor, we wrote the entire current and former Board of OTG. Nothing has been successful.
Hoping that our own personal little pet project will make them stand up and take notice. If nothing else, we now know how to create a web-site and give them a good kick in the shins! No need to reply to this email. But we do have a guestbook page on our website - leave your supportive comment there!
Thanks Much!

My advise is to be braver and more patient. Sooner or later things will get back to the normal state, it is much easier to believe this is just temporary situation. Wish you all the best and have faith!

Wired's blog picked up a story from iPhone Atlas today about a minor MobileSafari browser UI change that sees the (defaults to Google) search box surfaced right on top beside the URL address box (currently it only pops up when the top box is activated to save on vertical real estate). To compensate, the Refresh button gets demoted and tucked inside the refresh box. Not sure about the usability on this change yet...?
The more interesting speculation is about cut and paste, which Wired claims NO specific info on, but offers this as part of the ongoing search for some reason why Apple hasn't yet implemented this seemingly core functionality:
It's possible that Apple is taking so long to implement copy and paste not because it is difficult, but because Apple is reinventing it. Imagine a system-wide menu added to all applications which, instead of shuffling items off to a clipboard, lists all the places you can send that file (or text string). This would be like the existing "Open with" option available in the Mac's right-click menu -- each application effectively reports to the OS exactly what kind of files it can handle and the OS remembers this. Thus a picture could be sent to not only the Photo app, but to any other photo program. Text could be sent directly to any open dialog box in, say, Safari.
Sounds good to us. What about it, Joz?

1 User Reviews of Viking Prestige Cruise Ship
It's too bad that Viking isn't better prepared to deliver what you purchase when the weather doesn't cooperate. As a river cruise line, they should have back up plans for when ships break down, rivers flood and lock are inoperable. And let's throw in a couple of destination docks that were unavailable necessitating docking in industrial sites. This was a very expensive trip for my husband and I and was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime. We were changed to a different ship (with only one day's prior notice; some passengers received no notice at all). We did not receive the suite we paid for, but a standard stateroom. When we finally changed to the Var, the ship we were booked on, it broke down after one day. We then missed a town, received a shortened tour in two locations due to being bussed from the boat and eventually spent the last two nights in a hotel. When trying to resolve compensation with Viking, they ignore phone calls and emails. Unless you have a crystal ball and can guarantee that the weather will be good, plan on NOTgetting what you paid for. Their ads are what got us hooked on doing this in the first place, but their signature clip showing the ship entering Budapest didn't happen for us. We entered the city on a bus.

French Foie Gras Recipes
Foie Gras Poele with Granny Smith Apples
I love foie gras. I don't get to have it as much since moving to the States, but I received some from my very kind friend Steve over at The Milk Pail Market. And if you like this French delicacy, you will love what I accompanied it with. I sautéed diced Granny Smith apples in the rendered fat from the foie gras. It's a very simple dish but for sure will wow your Valentine if s/he likes refined French cuisine. My foie gras poêlé aux pommes Granny Smith is a delight.
The best part is that there are not a lot of ingredients involved in this dish. I simply used foie gras, Granny Smith apples, freshly pressed apple juice, apple cider vinegar and a little chicken stock. For a contrast of crunch you could add coarsely chopped hazelnuts with a drizzle of hazelnut oil as garnish. Toasted gingerbread would also make a great addition.

Foie Gras Creme Brulee Recipe (+Giveaway)
I've mentioned it in the past; even though it might raise some eyebrows, foie gras, or duck/goose liver, is my guilty pleasure. Maman would always serve this French delicacy during our holiday dinner. If you've never tasted foie gras before, it's like eating a piece of intensely flavored, semi-softened butter.
I got a lovely whole duck foie gras from The Milk Pail Market in Mountain View, CA. Instead of serving it as a main course (I'll publish a main course recipe soon), I added the foie gras to a savory custard and made crèmes brûlées. Obviously, this is not your ordinary vanilla flavored dessert crème brûlée. I made savory crème brulees in the past with ingredients like garlic, so this isn't exactly new territory for me. The result was amazing; foie gras and sweet flavors pair perfectly together. I added specks of foie gras to the custard as well as a large piece in the center of each ramekin. I also topped them with a larger chunk on top of the sugar crust as a reminder of the flavoring inside. I served the fancy starter with toasted bread so the foie gras could be spread onto the toasts.
This weekend giveaway is for Bay Area readers or people who are able to redeem their prize on site. The Milk Pail Market, which happens to be my favorite local market, is generously donating five $25 gift certificates. You could put this to good use and create a marvelous Christmas dinner for your loved ones. At any rate, I love this market; you can find a wide variety of cheeses, (check out the fromage blanc), French products such as Mamie Nova yogurts and tons of other European products as well. And don't forget to try their famous croissants! Be sure to stop by and discover these fabulous ingredients. The address is 2585 California Street, Mountain View, CA 94040. To participate to our giveaway, visit our 25 Days of Giveaways page and enter today. Good luck!
Make sure you're a fan of PhamFatale Facebook fan page and the Milk Pail, or follow @Phamfatalecom and tweet about this giveaway. To make it easy, you can just copy and paste this tweet if you'd like: "Five $25 Gift Certificate #Giveaway from @Phamfatalecom and the Milk Pail: http://bit.ly/sp4V7y".

Easy Party Appetizers: Foie Gras Stuffed Prunes with Almond Tuiles
Foie gras stuffed dried plums are my guilty pleasure. The dried plums (prunes) are baked with maple syrup, and to enhance the texture and flavor, I add a pinch of fleur de sel and a sprinkle of crumbled almond tuile cookies. These little appetizers will definitely be served by the dozens during our New Year Eve's dinner.
I know this recipe might raise some eyebrows on several levels. I've always loved, perhaps worshipped, the French culinary delicacy called foie gras. If you've never tasted foie gras before, it's like eating a piece of intensely flavored, semi-softened butter. Some people think it's an abomination and constitutes cruelty to animals. I believe that in Chicago for a time there was even a ban on foie gras and that the sale and production of foie gras is still illegal in California.
The other thing you might find odd is that I chose to use prunes in an elegant appetizer. I was surprised to learn from Lulu that in America, prunes are marketed as digestive aids and have a rather negative stigma. That is not the case in France. Prunes are often served as a snack for children, and just yesterday I saw them on a fruit and cheese platter at the end of a lovely meal we had at my friend's home. They're now marketed in the U.S. as dried plums, not prunes, because there was so much negativity associated with prunes as a laxative.
I hope this recipe will inspire you to try new ingredients, or perhaps old ingredients in new ways.

The Swan Island ConnectionSubmitted by Karen on July 18, 2017 - 2:11pm
Bobby lay curled like a seahorse, like a puppy… red marks round his throat… facing Swan Island.
The local senior constable, Chris Blackie and his deputy Anthea Merritt, expect the murder investigation to be handled by Geelong-baseddetectives from the Criminal Investigation Unit. But they're blind-sided by the interest personnel from the secret military training base on Swan Island take in the case, strongly suspecting that the Detective Inspector may be taking direction from them.

Ways to Save Money on Sports Shoes
by a guest poster • November 13, 2013 • Tagged: clothing, coupons  • Comments
If you're a sportsperson then taking care of your body will be essential and your shoes will be far more than a fashion statement. There are many different models of sports shoe for each sport. Some are better than others and some are cheaper than others. The trick to buying the perfect sports shoe is to know you're getting the best quality for the least amount of money.
The first step to take when shopping for sports sneakers is to determine which kind of sports shoes will work best for you and your specific needs. Different models appeal to different people based on how they feel, how they look and their durability. Some of it is personal taste, others is down to the mechanics of the shoe itself. Once you know what type of sneaker or shoe you're looking for, you can begin your quest to get it at a bargain price.
How to Save Money on Sports Shoes
These tips will help you to purchase good quality sports shoes for a discount price.
- Look out for sales – the end of season and mid-season sales are the most obvious to look for, but always keep your eyes peeled for any other kind of sale. There could be an end of line sale or even a closing down sale in some stores. If you do manage to spot a sale on some sports shoes that you like, then buying more than one pair is a brilliant way to make the most of the sale. If you save $20 on a pair of sneakers then that's great, but if you save $60 on three pairs of sneakers then it's brilliant.
- Discontinued Models – Fashion demands that not all models are kept on the shelf forever. Discontinued models are marked down way below their counterparts and a definite bargain. Ever noticed how when new models of sneakers come in to a store, the older models (which were all the rage last month) drop in price? This is another window of opportunity to save money on your sneakers.
- Manufacturer's outlets – You can buy brand names for discount prices at manufacturer's outlets. The outlets cut out the middle man which means you can get good quality shoes from top names such as Nike for less than they retail for at traditional stores.
- Coupons – Coupons are a great way to get a decent discount off the pair of sports shoes that you need. Rather than get coupons for one particular brand, try to look for store coupons such as Finish Line coupons. If you get a coupon for a discount on Nike shoes, then you can't enjoy a discount on any others. If you get a Finish Line coupon, you can receive a discount for anything that you purchase from finish Line and they sell a huge variety of brands.
- Look after the ones you've Got – Making shoes last as long as possible is the number one way to save money. Being careful when washing sneakers, using old sneakers whenever possible (like practicing on soft surfaces) and swapping and changing shoes often can help to extend the life of a pair of sneakers.
Sports shoes aren't the cheapest of shoes out there, and it's important for sportspeople and athletes to get the best support for their feet that they can. However, it's not necessary to spend a fortune buying sports shoes to train in. With a little careful shopping, you can save a good amount of money on a decent pair of sports shoes that will keep your feet healthy and allow you to reach for your sports goals.

Hi Léa! My son won't be starting kindergarten until Fall 2013. I can't afford to take time off this Monday to come to the school but I would love to come to any other event or meet with the principal to express my interest in the dual language program! Let me know what I can do support the program.
Kara Angèle
Thank you, Lea. I will call PS 110 tomorrow. What grade will the Fr/Eng program run through?
Hello again, Lea,
Since I can't make the 7th due to jury duty and my daughter will only be 3 in Sept 2011, would it be possible to come another day? We are visiting Mini Maternelle in Brooklyn on the 16th at 9:20am. Would it be possible to visit the school that day?? My daughter is still too young for the Pre-K at PS 84 also, but I am very serious about the dual language program and we are moving into the city this summer specifically for this reason. Thanks and hopefully 20 families will sign up!

GeneRead DNAseq Custom Panel V2
For targeted enrichment of a customized set of genes or genomic regions specific for your human identification (HID) NGS needs
GeneRead DNAseq Custom Panels V2 are the simplest tools for analyzing the genetic variants of a customized panel of genes or genomic regions via next-generation sequencing. Each panel consists of multiplex PCR primer sets, sufficient for 480 samples, to amplify genomic regions of interest tailored to your specific HID NGS needs. Our primer design and targeted enrichment chemistry provide high design coverage, specificity, and uniformity, which are essential for detecting low-frequency variants in your precious samples.
The performance of GeneRead DNAseq Custom Panels V2 is assessed by three criteria: design coverage, specificity, and coverage uniformity. The high specificity of the system maximizes efficient use of sequencing capacity, as more than 90% of sequencing reads align to target regions. Finally, the high coverage uniformity of the system, with more than 90% of targeted bases covered at >20% median sequencing depth, ensures high-quality variant calls.
The GeneRead DNAseq Custom Panels V2 employ overlapping primer sets across the targeted regions to maximize target coverage (see figure Multiplex PCR-enabled target enrichment of genomic regions of interest). Overlapping primer sets are divided into an appropriate number of PCR pools, thereby increasing the specificity of coverage without primer dimers and nonspecific amplifications. Following amplification and purification, enriched regions from each sample are pooled together, yielding one library preparation for each sample.
GeneRead DNAseq Custom Panels V2 are part of a total workflow for targeted HID next-generation sequencing (see GeneRead DNAseq Targeted Panels V2 workflow). Simply extract DNA from your samples using any of the established QIAGEN Investigator sample prep kits for standard casework or reference samples, or choose from one of our dedicated kits for other applications, such as, RNA analysis or FFPE samples. Quantify and qualify your DNA sample with the GeneRead DNA QuantiMIZE System, and then use the GeneRead DNAseq Custom Panels V2 in combination with GeneRead DNAseq Panel PCR Kit V2 to perform targeted enrichment using multiplex PCR. Once targets have been enriched, construct the NGS library with the GeneRead Library Prep Kits and use the GeneRead DNAseq Library Quant Array to quantify and perform quality control. Perform NGS and analyze your data using the QIAGEN NGS Data Analysis Web Portal or CLC's Biomedical Workbench.
GeneRead DNAseq Custom Panels V2 are highly suited for enriching a panel of any genomic regions of interest in the human genome to determine genetic variants through NGS analysis for human identification applications, encompassing SNPs and other markers.

Theres a huge difference in rising 17 pounds of dough in one bus tub versus 7 pounds in one bus tub.Im trying to back into the batch weights we used and this is stumping me. Anyone have any additional recollections that would resolve this difference?
The Shakey's dough recipe for thin crust was:42 lbs of flour2 bags of dough blend1 3/4 lbs of shortening1 lb block of yeast7 1/2 - 8 qts of watermix for 8 - 10 minutesput the water in first, it mixed better from the bottom up and there was no unmixed flour left at the bottom of the bowl. place mixed dough into a 35 gal nsf approved container and cover and allow to rise several times, then refrigerate for use later. ( and don't breathe in the fumes when you punch it down :-)
I went to Shakey's University ( and yes, there really was one) back in the 70's in Lakewood, Colorado, there were no variances offered for regional taste differences.
That's a dead ringer for Round Table pizza. I wonder if these guys all ripped each other off? The histories on Round Table and Straw Hat pizza both date their existence to 1959. Shakeys however goes back to 1954. I think it's clear that Shakeys was making this style before the other two. They just didn't have as much brand recognition as Round Table. Straw Hat is probably the least known among the three. Dang Zing, now I have to go make some dough for tomorrow. Comparable shots of the same pie from Round Table can be seen towards the bottom on Page 3 of the RT thread here: http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,1911.40.html The first few shots are pictures of their deep dish, which is a completely different animal.
What is that last pizza? Taco salad? Looks pretty darn good to me. Do they use tomato sauce on it or some spicy salsa type sauce?

NASCAR Sprint Cup in Arizona: Phoenix field | Gordon, Bowyer return to scene of brouhaha
AVONDALE, Ariz. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. criticized driver Jeremy Clements Friday for using the N-word during an interview last week, saying there is no place for such language in NASCAR.
Clements was suspended for the remark, which he made during an interview with an MTV blogger and in the presence of a NASCAR public relations person. NASCAR's rulebook includes a code of conduct clause that prohibits disparaging language when referring to someone's race, color, gender, etc. He was suspended for NASCAR said was an "insensitive and intolerable" remark.
MORE: Clements uses N-word | Clements' account | Fan tweets injuries | Danica encore
Clements, a 28-year-old Nationwide Series driver, has apologized and said the word was not directed at any particular driver or individual.
"It's just really unfortunate that he chose to make that decision at that time to use that language," Earnhardt said at Phoenix International Raceway Friday. "I don't like it. There's no room for that in my life. … When one person's mistake looks bad on the sport, it's unfortunate."
Marty Beckerman, a blogger for MTV's Guy Code, told MTV News that Clements used the N-word during an interview prior to the Nationwide Series race at Daytona.
"I was there to do a humor piece, so I asked him what would be Guy Code for racecar drivers, and he blurted out [a phrase that used the N-word]," he said.
Beckerman told MTV News that Clements did not use the phrase in reference to a specific driver, but was saying that "if you drive roughly, you'll be treated roughly."
NASCAR is sending Clements to sports diversity expert Dr. Richard Lapchick, director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports at the University of Central Florida, before he'll be allowed back in his car.
Jeff Gordon said NASCAR has made it clear that it would not tolerate such statements and racial slurs.
"NASCAR has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to things that could be detrimental to the sport, that could have a negative impact on the sport," Gordon said.
"I don't know exactly all the details but obviously whatever was said drew them to that conclusion that it was something that could really impact the sport negatively."
Jeff Burton said he wanted to know exactly what was said and what context it was said in before commenting.
"I don't think NASCAR would suspend someone for something small," Burton said. "I don't think they would. I don't know what was said, I don't know how it was said."

Talk About the Future: TEPSAT Tool Aids Planning
Holidays are a time for fun, celebrating, and getting together with family members and friends. Family visits and gatherings around the campfire or barbecue are also a good opportunity to discuss a family's plans for many different matters and events. One important matter is "planning for the retirement years." Did you know that most people put off planning for the later years until those years arrive…leaving many critical decisions to be made without the appropriate time, preparation, and information to plan or to take advantage of preferences and options that can make the elder years more successful.
How prepared are you . . . or your parents or grandparents . . . for the elder years? How comfortable are you with discussing health, long-term care, where to live, estate planning, burial plans, power of attorney, financial management, and other topics with your older relatives?
The Elder Preparedness Self-Assessment Tool (TEPSAT) is a free, self-administered questionnaire that was developed by Robert Abrams, an elder law attorney, as a fun way to test your level of preparedness and to learn about various topics and resources that are important to everyone during the later years. It also provides an easy and enjoyable way to involve family members in discussions around topics that may be difficult or awkward to talk about in other circumstances.
You can take the TEPSAT test—and get your score—as well as encourage other family members to take the test . . . at the Elderornot web site.
The Elder Preparedness Self-Assessment Tool (TEPSAT) is a performance based tool that measures elder preparedness and then directs you to valuable tools and resources that will help you prepare for the elder years.
Be a planner, not a gambler and take the test today. Also, share the tool with your friends, neighbors and colleagues. Not planning can be hazardous to your health and to your independence!

Requiem for Rome
The book is Requiem for Rome by several authors. It was written to support the Vampire: The Masquerade game system. Here is a description of the book, "A gameplay expansion and setting book, Do battle with barbarian vampires, uncover the secrets of mystery cults, rule a family of the Roman aristocracy and change the course of Kindred history in the Necropolis beneath Rome."
Ancient Rome was a bloodthirsty place which had a great deal of reverence for the past and the dead. Is it such a stretch to imagine a vampire influence over the city? This book gives a good fantasy try at it.
What I found interesting for alternate history was not the large portions of the book that dealt with game playing mechanics. Instead, I found the authors account of vampire clans and how they influenced the various aspects of Roman history from the Kingship of Romulus, the founding and fall of the Roman Republic, the founding of the Empire, and the decline and fall of the Western Empire very entertaining. The first chapter of this book (Ab Urba Condita: The History of Rome) has a detailed time line of Roman history coupled with short essays on key periods. Of course, some of these essays discuss vampire politics and how this altered the history of Rome. Who would have guessed that the founding of the Roman Republic coincided with a vampire revolution in the catacombs below the city?
I realize this book review is a strange choice for this blog. However, I like alternate history and I like Roman history. I found this book satisfying and enjoyable. I hope the goth teenagers playing this vampire role playing game are inspired by this and go on to study Roman history.

Hello, there. I wrote a good 80 pages of that book, including the history chapter.
I'm glad you liked it. I did my degree in Classics, and an MPhil in Latin literature, and it was fun to make use of that, just once, in my day job.

Thank you for your comment. I did enjoy your work on this book. I saw your comment at your blog and I am sorry you had some difficulties with the editor. Despite this, you did a great job.
My house is full of books on Roman history. I also have hundreds of role playing game books on my shelves. I do not play, it is just my collecting hobby. I was very pleased to see the two combined well.
Thank you.
By the way, its not the Masquerade, but Vampire the Requiem game system.

Bell Stratus MIPS
Built with the same core design principles as the pro-level Zephyr, Bell's Stratus MIPS road cycling helmet combines lightweight aero efficiency with cutting-edge comfort technologies. The shape was refined for all-around road performance—ventilated for long climbs but still fast for the flats—and the all-new Float Fit system offers comfort and security with a streamlined fit and an oversized dial that's easy to adjust with one hand. The Overbrow Ventilation system pulls cool air in through the front and pushes it through an air-channel matrix to reduce overheating. And thanks to the adjustable No-Twist Tri-Glides, the straps stay flat and properly positioned no matter how hard you're hammering. This model also includes MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) for added protection in certain types of impacts.

It was time for a road-specific helmet. I tried on every brand in the store, but nothing matched the Stratus MIPS for comfort for my head. It fit snugly around and is very adjustable. All helmets have adjustable chin and ear straps, but the Stratus includes a height adjuster so you can dial in the fit at the back of your head. Spin the click wheel and you can cinch the bucket tight to the back of your head. It's so light and comfortable that you don't really notice it on your head. The straps stay flat and don't bounce around - again, you don't know they're there. Ventilation is great - lots of airflow through and around. I love the "Retina Sear" high-vis yellow - especially since the whole helmet is that one bright colour. Most helmets are black on the rear, which doesn't help visibility. The Stratus is high-vis 360°! Friends have spotted me well down the road. There is a mountain version called Catalyst with a removable visor.

Google has been often accused of promoting its own services in Google Search. Whether it was Google News, Image Search, Product Search or Video Search, the specialized search engine showed results from all over the web and not just from Google's own services. Image Search wasn't restricted to Picasa Web Albums, Video Search wasn't restricted to YouTube, Blog Search wasn't restricted to Blogger. Even for services like Google Dictionary and Google Finance that have their OneBox at the top of the Google search results, Google shows a list of other relevant services.
Google's special section that shows people and pages from Google+ doesn't look like a regular Google OneBox. It's placed in the right sidebar, where Google used to display ads. It shows up for general queries like [music], [sports], [math], that aren't typically associated with social search results. It only shows results from Google+, not from other social services like Twitter or Facebook. It's there even if you're not logged in using your Google account or you're not using Google+.
If Google+ wasn't a Google product, would it make sense to show a similar OneBox with profiles from social sites? Normally, Google would have created a profile search engine and showed a group of relevant results somewhere in the list of search results. Like this:
Google already indexes profiles from different sites and even shows special snippets with structured data. Why not create a special search engine for profiles like the one that lets you search recipes or the search engine for applications?
When Google released Knol, many people wondered if Google could boost the rankings for Knol articles or create a special OneBox with Knol results. "Google Knol does not receive any sort of boost or advantage in Google's rankings," replied Matt Cutts and he was right. Now what if Google displayed a Knol OneBox at the top of the search results for queries that returned relevant Knol articles? Maybe Knol would've become more popular and it wouldn't have been discontinued.
Is it fair to promote results from a single service, especially when you own that service? Even if those results are comprehensive, relevant and useful, it's always a good idea to also show results from other services.
Some engineers at Facebook, Twitter and MySpace developed a site called Focus on the User that lets you replace the Google+ results with other social profiles from the web. From:
… to:
The results are better simply because you can check the accounts from other social services. Maybe an artist shares more information on Twitter or maybe the Facebook account is more important. "When you search for 'cooking' today, Google decides that renowned chef Jamie Oliver is a relevant social result. That makes sense. But rather than linking to Jamie's Twitter profile, which is updated daily, Google links to his Google+ profile, which was last updated nearly two months ago," noticed the authors of the Focus on the User site. I still don't think that the social search box should be placed next to the results, but at least the tweak made it more useful.
"Focus on the user and all else will follow. Since the beginning, we've focused on providing the best user experience possible. Whether we're designing a new Internet browser or a new tweak to the look of the homepage, we take great care to ensure that they will ultimately serve you, rather than our own internal goal or bottom line." (Google's philosophy)

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
Mayor Chris Beutler today announced several new initiatives for the Parks and Recreation Department, including a new Web site and logo and enhanced volunteer programs. The Mayor said the changes are a cost-effective way to improve public communication, increase participation in Parks and Rec programs and provide more resources to the department.
"Lincoln residents understand that a healthy parks and recreation system is vital to our community," Beutler said. "We are fortunate to have dedicated employees who have done a great job of absorbing budget cuts in ways that have the least impact on residents. We believe these new initiatives will strengthen our system, and we encourage the public to let us know how they feel about the changes."
Parks and Recreation Director Lynn Johnson said the department will no longer provide a printed brochures on its facilities and programs three times a year, which will save about $100,000 annually. That information will be provided on a redesigned Web site at parks.lincoln.ne.gov. Johnson said that by the end of the year, the department hopes to have all facility reservations and program registrations available online to add convenience and save paper. Those without Internet access can use computers at City's libraries and recreation centers. Printed program sheets also are available at park facilities.
"Parks and Rec has a new look, with a new logo and a more user-friendly Web site," Johnson said. "We also have a new tag line reminding people that parks are 'fundamental' to our major City budget outcome areas - youth development, active living, neighborhoods and families, special places and community events and economic development." Johnson said the new initiative, which includes an awareness campaign, will cost less than mailing one program guide, thanks to a nearly two-for-one match from media partners. The communications initiative was developed with the assistance of a senior advertising class at the UNL College of Journalism.
Johnson said new volunteer initiatives will help expand and solidify opportunities for individuals, businesses and organizations to help the parks and recreation system. A new system will track information about volunteers to keep them active and engaged, and provide an annual recognition event.
The department also is starting a new maintenance program called "Adopt a Lincoln Landscape." The first corporate partner is State Farm Insurance, which is committing 100 people to give up to two hours a week throughout the growing season for four park areas.
"State Farm has a strong tradition of volunteerism nationwide and here at the local level," said Tim McCarty, Chairman of State Farm's Good Neighbor Committee. "We are very excited to be part of this new parks initiative as our company and our employees acknowledge that Lincoln's parks and recreation facilities and programs are fundamental to making Lincoln a great place to work and live."
The City now has 125 parks and 128 miles of trails. About 8.5 cents of each City tax dollar goes to support Parks and Recreation facilities and programs. The cost per capita to support the department is 27 percent less than the national average according to a 2007 study by the Trust for Public Lands.
The Parks and Recreation department is responsible for generating $2.5 million in revenue every year. Johnson said the new initiatives could result in generating closer to $3 million.
"Our goal through these efforts to increase revenue to the department through greater participation from the community in programs, volunteering and support," he said. "As our City grows, so does demand for beautiful public places. Even with shrinking City budgets, our staff remains committed to being accessible through our new Web site and to providing high quality facilities and recreation programs that everyone can enjoy."

It is possible that the main title of the report Autosomal Dominant Interstitial Kidney Disease is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Autosomal dominant interstitial kidney disease describes a group of diseases affecting solely the proper function of the kidney and having the following characteristics: They are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner; kidney disease develops, and dialysis or kidney transplant is required some time between the 4th and 7th decade of life; and several types of the disease are associated with elevated uric acid concentrations in blood and gout, which usually starts in the teenage years. Not all family members are affected by gout, but many are.
There has been a lot of confusion with regards to different names given to these conditions. This has created confusion for patients and doctors alike.
The term medullary cystic kidney disease is sometimes used to describe this condition. However, many, if not most, individuals with this disease do not have medullary cysts, so this name is being used less frequently. Some doctors still use this term.
The term familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy is also used. "Familial" refers to the fact that the disease is inherited. "Juvenile" refers to the fact that it is first noticed frequently in childhood. "Hyperuricemic" refers to the fact that many patients have high blood uric acid levels (this causes gout). "Nephropathy" refers to the fact that this is a kidney disease.
Autosomal dominant interstitial kidney disease currently includes the following disorders. It is likely that additional forms of this disease will be indentified.
Uromodulin associated kidney disease is the most common form of this condition. It is caused by a mutation in a gene producing a protein called uromodulin. This protein is only made in the kidney. The mutation causes affected individuals to develop gout, frequently in their teenage years, and progressive kidney disease.
Autosomal dominant interstitial kidney disease due to renin mutations is caused by mutations in the gene producing a protein called renin. Affected individuals usually develop anemia in childhood. Often, their blood potassium levels are mildly elevated, and their blood uric acid levels are also elevated. These individuals also suffer from gout frequently.
Autosomal dominant interstitial kidney disease of unknown genetic cause is the term used to describe families with this disease in whom the cause is not known. This condition is sometimes called medullary cystic kidney disease type 1. These individuals usually have chronic kidney disease but do not have gout. Researchers are now trying to find the cause of this disease.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today said the Downtown Civic Ventures program has helped to spur a retail boom in downtown Lincoln. According to the Downtown Lincoln Association (DLA), 38 new retailers have opened downtown since 2010. Downtown Civic Ventures is a nonprofit subsidiary of DLA formed in 2007 to promote downtown business development.
"Livability.com just ranked Lincoln number seven in its list of Top 10 Downtowns, and the vibrant retail scene is a factor in our success," Mayor Beutler said at a news conference at Embellish, a boutique at 144 N. 13th Street. "A strong downtown is key to a strong community, and our efforts to recruit and retain retailers is very important to creating a unique sense of place. With all the new stores and restaurants, plenty of parking and the recently re-paved streets, there's never been a better time to be in downtown Lincoln!"
DLA President Terry Uland said Civic Ventures is a "one-stop shop" for retail businesses that want to open, expand or relocate. It was created as part of a retail support strategy developed in 2007 by DLA, the City of Lincoln, UNL, the NU Foundation and the Vision 2015 group. The City Council approved a grant of $50,000 to support the program, and private funds also have been donated to provide financial incentives
"It has been exciting to witness a flourishing downtown retail corridor in recent years," Uland said. "The addition of several new businesses and millions of dollars in private and public investment in the area are strong indicators of retail growth."
Downtown Civic Ventures has also allowed for initiatives such as the three Shop the Blocks events DLA has produced in partnership with Civic Ventures since November 2011. They attracted 1,800 shoppers and produced over $165,000 in sales for the participating businesses.
"I am pleased to own my store in an area where the community has come together to support local business," said. Ashlie Hadden, owner of Embellish. "Events like Shop the Blocks have helped ignite a spark and remind our City and its visitors everything downtown retail has to offer."
More information on the DLA, Civic Ventures and downtown retail is available at downtownlincoln.org.
