At first glance, Richard Abel of Poquoson is a study in contrasts.
The retired Air Force brigadier general had a military career spanning more than 25 years that included assignments from the elite hallways of the Air Force Academy to the power rings at the Pentagon.
Abel, 79, served at the uppermost levels of the military during some of the nation's most troubling days. During the early 1970s, he was part of the Operation Homecoming team that escorted home the last of the U.S. service members who had been held in North Vietnamese prison camps, including now U.S. Sen. John McCain. Later, Abel served as special assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time of the Iranian hostage crisis. His service and achievements have been recognized with numerous medals and honors, including the Defense Superior Service Medal and the Bronze Star Medal.
His leadership experience goes beyond the military. The general has held high-ranking positions on the boards of philanthropic groups and national organizations. Today he speaks about leadership to corporations, universities, the military and other organizations across the country.
But Abel, who has written two books on leadership, doesn't stand on ceremony.
Ann, his wife of 56 years, tells a story of overhearing a cadet refer to her husband as "Larger than Life Abel," but she adds that the general knows he's not perfect. "He's not pretentious. He recognizes his cracks."
On leadership
Service to others is the foundation of leadership, the general says. And that it is essential to maintain consistency in leadership. His tenets of leadership are integrity, communication and love.
"It's about those you serve," he said. "Not you."
Ann Abel calls that desire to work with and be role models for others the general's passion.
He has started Bible study groups at various bases in areas where he's served, several of which remain active years after Abel moved on. In the 1990s, after retiring from the military, Abel began leading new squadron commanders at Langley Air Force Base through a three-hour interactive seminar on leadership. The material eventually became the foundation for his books. Throughout his career, he worked directly with athletes, both professional and collegiate, and currently maintains a relationship with the athletes at the University of Virginia.
Abel refers to these men and women who have crossed his path, along with his family — his wife, four children, 19 grandchildren and two great grandchildren — as his legacy. He often stays in touch with those he's met, his wife said, and she says the people who have worked for him are often his biggest cheerleaders.
That impact on others is clearly demonstrated in the number of endorsements contained in Abel's books, from pro athletes, to singer/songwriters, congressmen, business executives and a national news anchor. Still, according to Ann Abel, his first-stop editor who "takes out the red pen" when he's done, the books maintain her husband's down-to-earth quality.
His freelance book editor, Cathy Welch, who has been a freelance writer for the Daily Press, also notes that quality in Abel.
"You can call him Dick," Welch said.
As for her husband's books, Ann calls them "manuals—one-flight reads that comprise good, basic principles of living a good life."
Faith defines life
"My dad used to say, 'The ground is level at the foot of the cross,' " said daughter Tamera Mattson. "He meant by that (that) there is no one person above anyone else — we are all equal before God," she wrote in an email.
It is that vision of equality that joins the extremes — the military general versus the man at the foot of the cross. As a former president of both the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and executive director of Campus Crusade for Christ's Military Ministry, Abel speaks frequently and matter-of-factly of his faith in God and God's role in his life. He and wife Ann have passed their faith on to their children as well.
Daughter Teresa Martino wrote in an email that her father often led family devotions, and the family chose to worship at churches with vital youth ministries that provided positive peer support.
His son, Tim Abel says of his father: "He has always been God focused, which leads him to being people focused…. The principle of 'service above self' is far more than a motto for him. It is a reality that inculcates and defines him."
Manuals for life
"The DNA of Leadership: Leadership is All About People" was published in 2008 by Tate Publishing & Enterprises.
The forward, written by retired U.S. Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, offers this advice: "If you are leading people today or have the aspiration to lead people in the future, this book is a must for you."
About 100 pages long, the book breaks down Abel's principles of leadership into chapters, the first being integrity and the last love. Abel pulls the lessons together with a quiz at the end, designed to measure the reader's growth as a leader.
Katrina Meiusi, Abel's daughter, said she loves her father's first book for its "simplicity of truth.
"What he speaks of is not 'rocket science,' " Meiusi wrote via email, "but values and characteristics that set leaders apart from others."
In 2012, the general followed up "The DNA of Leadership" with "Vector Corrector," also from Tate Publishing.
He describes this as a daily guidebook that helps people stay on character or course, as well as a reminder to be people of character as they navigate the busy nature of modern lives.
In the foreword, ABC news anchor Chris Cuomo writes, "Fifty-two tight principles with application to thousands of life situations, challenges, and occupations — that is the gift Brigadier General Dick Abel has given all of us who are searching for better ways to be our best…."
Abel grouped his messages into four categories: the building blocks of character (servanthood, compassion, conviction and consistency) followed by personal, professional and people. Each section consists of what he calls one-minute reads, three sentences that reflect his insights on leadership.
Sprinkled with illustrations and with a page for notes after each section, the book, which is small enough to fit into a purse or laptop bag, might well be used as a manual or guidebook.
Daughter Meiusi described "Vector Connector" as "a book that can be read daily, over and over," containing "statements that affirm my dad's main points, looking to the needs of others over your own."
Abel himself expressed these beliefs by saying, "Successful men help others to be successful. When you help others to be all-stars, they'll follow you over the hill."
"DNA of Leadership" and "Vector Corrector" are available in print for about $14 and $11, respectively, from the publisher and online retailers. View trailers for both books at tatepublishing.com.

Microsoft Account Gets Two-factor Authentication
Microsoft Account Gets Two-factor Authentication
If you use Microsoft services like Hotmail (and now Outlook.com), Xbox Live, SkyDrive, or have a Windows Phone, you already have a Microsoft account. This account can also be used to sign in to Windows 8. In a nutshell, it's a single account that ties up your devices and services so that you can take advantage of features like settings sync and deep integration between services and apps.
To make the Microsoft account more secure, Microsoft has just announced that you can now (or in the next couple of days if you don't see it now) optionally turn on two-step verification for the entire account (yes, regardless of service or device you're using). With it enabled, you'll need to provide two pieces of information (your password and a code sent to your phone or email) whenever you access your account.
For smartphones, there's an authenticator app to set up; this allows you to receive the two-step verification codes even if the device is offline. Microsoft has released a separate Authenticator app for Windows Phone, but there's no word when the Android and iOS equivalent will arrive. For devices that don't support two-step verification (such as the Xbox), you can set a password that's unique to each device or app. For your favorite devices, you can also choose to not ask for security codes after the first time.
However, Microsoft warns that if you ever lose access to your secondary security proof (but not your password), customer support is unable to update it for you. You'll have to wait for 30 days before you can regain access to your account. If you lose access to both your password and security info, you won't be able to regain access to your account anymore. So, while enabling two-factor authentication makes your Microsoft account more secure, the onus is on you to keep your account up to date.
The web-based two-step verification setup can be found here.

Big marble eyes and tiny toes, bobbly heads and Lilliputian arms, babies' disproportions are just intrinsically adorable. But for me, the real charmer has always been the sweet baby bottom! I love the way puffy diapers make a baby's backside so over-sized and perfect for patting.
Since finding out that I was expecting my second child, I knew I would need to celebrate her finest feature with a comfy, cozy pair of Baby Pants. These trousers, with their rear gusset, make room for even the squishiest of tushes!
The curved gusset seam offers a little bit of challenge for this otherwise easy-as-pie project. And with patterns for sizes 0-9 months, you can make a set in every size. You'll be needing them sooner than you think!
For the fabric I chose Kiyohara's Linen Blend Solid, one of the softest fabrics out there, and it only gets better with wash and wear. Plus, I couldn't resist a pop of a beautiful Liberty of London in the back, right on the cute spot! – Corinne
Update: New Fabric
To celebrate another new birth (namely that of Purl Soho's Linen Grid fabric!), I've made a new group of Baby Pants! Our Baby Pants in Linen Grid include a new list of materials and special instructions for a bias-cut gusset!
Update: New Sizing
We've adjusted the pattern for sizes 3-9 months to give a wider leg and a roomier fit! The template and all measurements reflect this change.
One Materials for Baby Pants kit (available in an Aqua or Pink color way) includes…
- Main Fabric: 1 yard of Kiyohara's Linen Blend Solid in Light Beige (Please note that this fabric is no longer available. Essex or Essex Yarn-Dyed would make a great substitute!)
- Gutermann's 100% Cotton Thread to match the fabric
- 1 1/2 yards of ¼-inch Braided Elastic in white
- Contrast Fabric: A bundle of 3 Liberty of London Tana Lawn prints cut in fat sixteenths (9 inches by 13 inches)
These are enough materials to make 3 pairs of pants in any size from 0 to 9 months.
The Aqua fabrics are, from the left, Moss Kayoko, Aqua Capel, and Mint Mirabelle,
The Pink fabrics are, from the left, Moss Kayoko, Pink Capel, and Mirabelle – Pink Light Blue.
You will also need…
- A Baby Pants Template, printed, cut out, and taped together. It is available for free download here in 0-3 months, 3-6 months, and 6-9 months
To fit 0-3 months, 3-6 months, and 6-9 months.
Prewash all fabrics before starting.
All seam allowances in this project are 3/8-inch unless otherwise noted.
For each pair of pants, cut one piece of ¼-inch Braided Elastic to 16 inches for size 0-3 months, 17 inches for size 3-6 months, and 18 inches for size 6-9 months.
Using the free template, cut out the following pieces:
From the the Main Fabric
One Front Piece. Cut this piece by folding the fabric and placing the template edge along the fold. Cut around the template.
One Back Piece. Cut this piece in the same manner as the front piece, placing the template on the fabric fold.
From the Contrast Fabric
One Gusset. Again, cut this piece by folding the fabric and placing the template edge along the fold. Cut around the template.
Pin the Back Gusset
With right sides together, pin the right-side-up Gusset to the upside-down Back Piece at the midpoint of each piece (marked by the fold), as shown above. (The fabric I am using for the Back and Front Pieces doesn't have an obvious right or wrong side, but if you are using a print, it's important to keep in mind that you are pinning the right sides together).
Moving out from the center, first in one direction and then the other, pin the Back Piece to the Gusset along the curve, making sure to match up the cut notches.
It can be tricky to keep curved seams wrinkle-free. Use a lot of pins to ensure that your seam will come out un-puckered and smooth.
Sew the Gusset
With the Back Piece on top, sew around the pinned curve. Go slowly and take the pins out as you come to them. Backstitch at each end.
Sew the Inseam
With right sides together, pin the Back Piece to the Front Piece, starting at the center of the inseam.
Moving out from center, first in one direction and then the other, pin along the inseam curve and down the leg, making sure the notch on the Front Piece matches up with the Gusset-Back Piece seam. Don't be afraid to use a lot of pins to ensure a smooth seam.
With the Front Piece on top, sew the pieces together. Trim the seams and sew along the edge with a zigzag stitch.
Sew Front and Back Pieces Together
Pin and sew along the side edges. Trim the seams and sew along the edges with a zigzag stitch.
Hem and Finish
Turn up the bottom of the pants' legs ¼ inch toward the wrong side twice and press. Edge stitch along the fold, backstitching at the end of the seam.
Fold down the top edge of the pants ¼ inch toward the wrong side and press. Fold again ½ inch from folded edge. Press flat. Edge stitch along the fold leaving a 1-inch gap. Attach a safety pin to one end of the Braided Elastic. Insert this end into the channel created by the top hem. Pull through, making sure to not to pull other end into the channel.
When you have pulled the pinned end of the elastic through the other end of the channel, overlap the two ends by 1 inch. Sew the two ends together lengthwise with a zigzag stitch.

"86'd" was enforced or re-introduced as an American phrase when Jerry Lewis played "Kreton" an alien with super powers in a kids move in 1960 called "Visit to a Small Planet." In the move, Jerry uses number commands to make his powers work. In one scene he destroys a house plant by saying "86" and later threatens to use the same power to destroy a guy. I can just picture all the kids coming out of the theater pointing their fingers at each other and saying "86."

The Power Of CAIR
In re: Michael Graham's suspension from D. C. talk-radio station WMAL
CAIR's official website, however, provides some interesting information in their news release of Friday, July 29, 2005, excerpted below:
"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today applauded a Washington, D.C., radio station's decision to suspend without pay a talk show host who stated repeatedly that 'Islam is a terrorist organization.' CAIR said WMAL-AM morning host Michael Graham should be fired for his Islamophobic remarks, for other statements made before and after the most recent controversy and for his refusal to apologize for those comments.
"When first contacted by CAIR, WMAL stood behind Graham, but changed its position after hundreds of people responded to the group's action alerts bycontacting the station and its sponsors. In a statement, WMAL President and General Manager Chris Berry said that Graham would be suspended... 'We do not condone his position and believe his statements were irresponsible,' said Berry. (WMAL is owned by the Walt Disney Co.)....
"The Washington-based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group this week initiated a public campaign against WMAL and the station's advertisers after receiving complaints from Muslim listeners who heard Graham..."
Yesterday, Michael Graham posted the following on his website:
"As a talk show host, author and columnist, I've repeatedly criticized the current state of Islam and called for its reform. As for the "controversial" statement that 'Sadly, as it is constituted today, Islam IS a terrorist organization, but the good news is that the major of Muslims--who don't support terror--can change that and take back their religion,' I first made that statement on the air last Thursday.
"Did I get suspended Thursday? No. Friday? No. Monday? No.
"It wasn't until CAIR launched its campaign against me in the mainstream media..."
On his website, Graham gives information as to how to support him and also states,
"Trust me: CAIR is not playing games. They are making threats and shaking down our advertisers and trying to intimidate everyone concerned. The worst part is that, in the past, it has almost always worked for CAIR. They've managed to scare a lot of people into silence.
"But not everyone."
Graham is correct that not everyone is scared into silence. Just look at the blogosphere! Whether or not CAIR's tactics will work in Graham's case remains to be seen. Could it be that, this time, citizens will check into exactly what kind of organization CAIR is? Or will Americans' short memories allow Graham's case to be forgotten?
At the end of the CAIR news release is a list of contacts, the first of which is Ibrahim Hooper. According to Daniel Pipes,
"Ibrahim Hooper...told the Minneapolis Star Tribune on April 4, 1993: 'I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future.'
Mr. Pipes also has provided information about other individuals affililiated with CAIR:
"Randall Royer, CAIR's communications specialist and civil rights coordinator, was indicted on charges of conspiring to help Al-Qaeda and the Taliban to battle American troops in Afghanistan. He later pled guilty to lesser firearm-related charges and was sentenced to twenty years in prison.
"Ghassan Elashi, the founder of CAIR's Texas chapter, was convicted in July 2004 along with his four brothers of having illegally shipped computers from their Dallas-area business, InfoCom Corporation, to Libya and Syria, two designated state sponsors of terrorism. In April of 2005, Elashi and two brothers were also convicted of knowingly doing business with Mousa Abu Marzook, a senior Hamas leader and Specially Designated Terrorist. He continues to face charges that he provided more than $12.4 million to Hamas while he was running the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), America's largest Islamic charity.
"Bassem Khafagi, CAIR's community relations director, pleaded guilty in September 2003 to lying on his visa application and for passing bad checks for substantial amounts in early 2001, for which he was deported. Khafagi was also a founding member and president of the Islamic Assembly of North America (IANA), an organization under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for terrorism related activities.
"Rabih Haddad, a CAIR fundraiser, was arrested on terrorism-related charges and deported from the United States due to his subsequent work as executive director of the Global Relief Foundation, a charity he co-founded; in October 2002, GRF was designated by the U.S. Treasury Department for financing Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations. According to a CAIR complaint, Homam Albaroudi, a member of CAIR's Michigan chapter and also a founding member and executive director of the IANA also founded the Free Rabih Haddad Committee.
"Siraj Wahhaj, a CAIR advisory board member, was named in 1995 by U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White as a possible unindicted co-conspirator in connection with the plot to blow up New York City landmarks led by the blind sheikh, Omar Abdul Rahman.
"Ihsan Bagby, a future CAIR board member, stated in the late 1980s that Muslims' can never be full citizens of this country,' referring to the United States, 'because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country.'
"Omar Ahmad, CAIR's chairman, announced in July 1998 that 'Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran . . . should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.'"
CAIR presents itself as a representative of mainstream Islam. Do those statements represent mainstream Islam? If so, we are in deep, deep trouble.I urge interested readers to visit the above article written by Daniel Pipes. If you visit, have a look at the comments too.
Note (August 1, 2005, 8:22 A.M.): Andrew Whitehead of Anti-CAIR has today published a commentary in Front Page Magazine; the article also provides links to explore. As Mr. Whitehead is currently involved in a lawsuit brought against him by CAIR, he may have some insights which have not been published elsewhere.

Here are some preliminary thoughts about last night's circus at the State Legislative Building and the online post mortem that's been continuing right along in the hours since:
#1 – There's compromise and then there's plain old selling out. I'm currently plowing my way through Robert Caro's latest tome on the life and times of Lyndon Johnson and I've spent many, many years lobbying the General Assemblies of two different states so I know all about political realities and the frequent necessity of compromise to get things done. That is not what happened last night at the General Assembly with the supposedly progressive lawmakers who voted with the conservatives in power. Compromise happens when smart people make strategic decisions in an effort to advance (or at least preserve) a coherent agenda. Selling out is when ambitious, unprincipled and/or delusional individuals make deals that benefit themselves personally at the expense of the greater good.
#2 – Most biting (and accurate) online commentary – Multiple online commenters have referred to Rep. Susi Hamilton's late night skedaddle from the House floor on the budget vote and her vote for the fracking override in exchange for the extension of a tax giveaway to the movie industry (Rep. Hamilton is from the Wilmington area and has reportedly rented her home to movie industry employees) as the equivalent of selling out her party and principles for "30 pieces of silver." The critique is not quite accurate; actually it was 60 million pieces.
#3- Wake up!! Rep. Becky Carney is a nice person who's done some good things during her many years in Raleigh and I know she's had some health issues (Blue Cross Blue Shield loves to remind us of this fact in TV commercials) and that it was late and that she feels real sorry about her vote in favor of fracking , but good grief!! If there's one basic thing that a lawmaker is supposed to do, it's sit in one's seat, pay attention and vote "yes" or "no." If her explanation is really true — that she accidentally cast her vote in favor of the motion to override the Governor's veto (a vote that turned out to be the deciding vote) — she is guilty of a level of negligence and incompetence that is truly astounding. I know it's harsh and that the Tillis/Stam team made things confusing by shutting off debate, but there simply can be no excuse for such an act by such an experienced and intelligent politician. At a minimum, one would have thought that the default vote for Democrats on all votes last night whenever they weren't sure would have been "no." (As an aside, rumors abound this morning in the G.A. that Carney was actually seen exiting the Speaker's office last night shortly before the vote).
#4 – Most useful conservative pawn of the session — Rep. Darren Jackson and Rep. Hamilton (see above) are strong contenders here. Jackson — a generally progressive fellow on many issues — voted for the GOP budget at the last minute because, he said, he has a lot of state employees in his district. This is, of course, absurd. State employee will be greatly harmed by the budget, as will state government in general. Sadly, however, for reasons known only to the bizarre and inscrutable calculations of the people who run the organization, the State Employees Association of North Carolina (SEANC) has been a strong defender of the budget and a consistent ally of the Tillis/Berger team throughout the last two years. One must assume that the group had a lot to do with securing Jackson's vote. At least, however, Jackson had the guts to stand up on the floor and own his vote.
But the winner in this category has to be Rep. Marcus Brandon of High Point. Brandon,who is African-American and the legislature's only openly gay lawmaker, has made much throughout the session of his strange personal friendship with Republican Majority Leader Paul Stam — one of the state's most tenacious and reactionary social crusaders and the chief sponsor of the marriage discrimination amendment. The apparent source of the Brandon/Stam partnership was their shared support for school vouchers. Okay, maybe Brandon gets half a break on this one. He's 100% wrong on vouchers, but his stated rationale (that the traditional public schools in his area have a done a bad job for poor and minority kids) might narrowly pass a laugh/smell test.
But how does a school vouchers friendship translate into a vote to override the Governor's veto of a budget that slashes public schools and dozens of other essential programs, denies compensation to eugenics victims and cements a tax break for millionaires? The least he could have done was stand up on the floor and pretend to offer an explanation.

Complete Story
Senators Blitz NFL's Local TV Policy
By: Ted Hearn, Multichannel News
Washington -- A group of U.S. Senators is pressuring the National Football League into giving local broadcast TV viewers greater access to games shown on the league-owned NFL Network, a channel carried by many but not all cable and satellite TV providers.
Every game aired on the NFL Network, which kicks off its eight-game primetime slate on Nov. 6, when the Cleveland Browns visit the Denver Broncos at 8 p.m. (ET), can be seen on free TV in the home markets of the two teams on the field, but the rest of the country needs access to the NFL Network.
In a letter Tuesday to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, the senators complained that the NFL's local market policy was too narrow, saying it wrongly excluded the fans of teams with a regional following.
The letter explained that fans without access to the NFL Network -- Time Warner Cable, the second-largest cable company, does not distribute the channel -- can't watch their local team in action.
"The NFL's application of its policy does nothing for NFL fans in Burlington, Vermont, Hartford, Connecticut, or Providence, Rhode Island, which the NFL does not consider to be part of the home market of the New England Patriots," the letter said.
The letter was spearheaded by Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and ranking member Sen. Arlen Specter (R- Pa.).
The other signatories were Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D – R.I.), Jack Reed (D – R.I), Pete Domenici (R – N.M.), Ken Salazar (D – Colo.), Michael Enzi (R – Wyo.), Bernie Sanders (I – Vt.), Joe Lieberman (I – Conn.), Wayne Allard (R – Colo.), Dick Durbin (D – Ill.), John Thune (R- S.D.), and John Barrasso (R- Wyo.).
The NFL released a statement but it didn't address the lawmakers' point about the NFL's local market definition. Instead, the NFL pointed a finger at cable operators that have either refused to carry the channel or require customers to pay an additional fee.
"The goal of our NFL Network games is to show them to a national audience. However, that goal has been undercut by several of the largest cable operators that are discriminating against our network by either refusing to carry it or placing it on a much more costly tier than the sports networks that the cable operators themselves own," the league's statement said.
The letter noted that the NFL enjoys an exemption from anti-trust laws that allows the league to negotiate television contracts for the entire league. The exemption is contained in the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961.
"Ultimately, it may be for the courts to determine whether the NFL member teams are using the NFL Network to restrict the output of game programming in a manner that violates the antitrust laws," the senators wrote.
The Senate Judiciary Committee oversees the Justice Department's enforcement of the anti-trust laws.
"In the meantime," the letter added, "we strongly encourage you to take prompt action that will ensure fans in every market receive the benefit of this over-the-air policy when their closest NFL teams, or the teams with which their areas have been historically aligned, are playing in games telecast nationally on the NFL Network."

There is no more crucial aspect to any organization's long-term success than hiring. Just one stat: a top-performer at a company, on average, is worth at least 14 times their salary while a terrible employee can cost 30 percent of theirs.
That's more than a $700,000 difference between just one great $50,000-a-year employee and one bad $50,000-a-year employee. Multiply that total over your whole company, and obviously it is a tremendous amount of money.
And yet a recent report by the Society for Human Resource Management states that the average human resources professional spends less than five minutes reviewing a resume. Less than five minutes to decide if the applicant should go forward or if their resume should be thrown away.
What makes this particularly troubling is that, according to ERE, 80 percent of resumes contain misleading information and 53 percent of them contain outright lies.
Think about that – spending less than five minutes on a resume that is likely not accurate to determine if an applicant should move on in the process.
The Real Problem
Really, if you think about it, the less-than-five-minute number isn't overly shocking – there just isn't much information on a resume. It is generally a one-page self-reported history that lists a few of the applicant's greatest accomplishments, some of which never actually happened. As this article points out, it just isn't a good way to screen someone.
The solution is to conduct screening interviews, but those are time consuming and costly. Technology has helped fill the void, as you can use automated phone screening software to get some real information about your applicant pool before you start disqualifying applicants.
All told, the resume never was and still isn't the best way to screen candidates. The solution is using technology to quickly gain real insights into these candidates to find out who really is the best for the job.

@ Pete: do we really need to read summaries/paraphrases of other articles here?
Instead of repeating the words of those who neither recruit, think, nor lead, fail to admit their errors, and usually don't bother to back up their claims with objective facts, you might consider talking to those of us who actually do recruiting. After a few weeks, the most jr scheduler/sourcer/recruiter knows more about how to improve their own jobs than the most sr. recruiting consultant, or staffing head will ever know.
@Paul: Sorry for calling you Pete.
Trust me Larry, it takes less than five minutes to know that you should be thrown away and technology ain't gonna help.
@ Sandra: Even I think you're hitting below the belt... Try not to make it personal.
Not clicking any links. Watcha selling?
@ Sandra: Huh? Not following you...
Ugghh, just another article where the ultimate goal is trying to automate recruiting. No technology can take the place of old-fashioned interviewing and using one's judgment. Streamline administrative processes, YES. Stop trying to dehumanize Human Resource functions.

It's hard to know what goes on in Democratic Governor Jerry Brown's head. Historically, that's always been the case and it's even more so today.
Brown's veto of SB 104, the farm worker bargaining rights bill, is the latest case in point.
Brown has long-standing ties with the farm workers. In his first go-around as governor in 1975, he signed the legislation authorizing farm workers to unionize by secret ballot.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
It was a seminal moment for organized labor, minorities, and the poor--all core constituent groups of the Democratic party.
Given the alliance, Democrats thought the bill would go through.
Sure, Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed it every time the bill reached his desk, but this is Jerry Brown, the man who marched with farm workers. Of course Brown would sign.
On Tuesday, Brown did an about-face. He wrote in his veto message that he wasn't convinced the new bill is needed.
Whoa, let's get this straight. Brown turns his back on organized labor and sides with the California Chamber of Commerce and the Western Growers Association? What gives?
It may be about the politics of give-and-take. Brown will be governor for four years, maybe eight.
Time after time in his brief tenure in his second go-around as governor, he's attempted to craft a substantive budget deal with Republicans, knowing that major change can not go forward without their participation.
Time after time, Republicans have rejected the governor's invitation, contending that he has not given them enough for their support.
Perhaps the veto is not a new course for Brown as much as it's a down- payment for Republican support in future negotiations. If that's so, the veto may be disappointing for the moment, but open new opportunities down the road.
Sprinters run different races than marathon runners. The first go all out in a rush, the second use their energy wisely over the long haul.
Perhaps we're learning something about Brown after all. Four years is a long time.

So I have to implement a checkout line using a priority queue. I'm really stuck. I have 3 classes, a Register class, Store class, and customer class.
Each customer has a service time which is the time it takes to check out.
There are ten registers.
Reach register has a line.
I have to add a customer based on which line has the lowest total service time.
I need help on how to get the total service time for a line of a register.
Here are my three classes so far:
import java.util.LinkedList; import java.util.PriorityQueue; public class Store { private PriorityQueue<Register> regs; public Store(){ this.regs = new PriorityQueue<Register>(); for(int i = 0;i<=10; i++){ regs.add(new Register()); } } private Register leastFullRegister() { double minWaitTime = Double.MAX_VALUE; Register leastFullRegister = null; for ( Register r : regs ) { if ( r.getTotalEnqueue() < minWaitTime ) { minWaitTime = r.getTotalEnqueue(); leastFullRegister = r; } } return leastFullRegister; } }
import java.util.PriorityQueue; public class Register implements Comparable<Register> { private boolean open; // line open or not? private PriorityQueue<Customer> line; //the line of customers private int waitTime; Register(){ open = false; waitTime = 0; this.line = new PriorityQueue<Customer>(); } public double getTotalEnqueue(){ double totalTime = 0; //go through every customer and get the serviceTimes and add them up //This is to see which line is shorter return totalTime; } public void addCustomer(Customer c){ line.add(c); } public Customer pollCustomer(){ return line.poll(); } public boolean isOpen(){ // some how open and close lines? return true; } @Override public int compareTo(Register reg) { return 0; } }
public class Customer { private double serviceTime; private int count; Customer(){ serviceTime = Math.random() + 2; count = 0; } public double getServiceTime(){ serviceTime = Math.random() + 2; count++; return serviceTime; } public int getCount(){ return count; } }

Sale of 35 percent stakes comes following dispute over future direction of Gulf airline
Qatar Airways is to sell its stake in Luxembourg's all-cargo airline Cargolux after a disagreement over the future direction of the airline, a Cargolux spokeswoman said on Saturday.
Qatar Airways bought a 35 percent stake from the Luxembourg government and other parties last summer, but has decided to pull out after failing to agree on a strategy for the airline during meetings on Friday.
"The Luxembourg and Qatari shareholders disagreed on the future strategic orientation of the airline, which led to Qatar's decision to pull out of Cargolux," a spokeswoman for Cargolux told Reuters.
Qatar Airways was not immediately available to comment.
No value was given for the stake when the purchase was announced in June last year.

"A lot of incredible and horrifying things happen every day all around the world. So much change, catastrophe, epiphany, joy…and despite the lull of the daily trudge, people do feel it. We dream of it, daydream about it or just stay up at night, wondering why we can't get to sleep. Maybe we get depressed and don't know why, maybe we misplace our frustrations…Something's wrong. Conversely, something electric is in the air. Excitement, wonder, nervous energy. There is opportunity; indeed, there is also despair. What will I focus on? how will I channel my feelings around it? How can I face tomorrow? How the hell am I going to get to sleep?"

The picture shows two compound droplets on a horizontal fiber. They are made of an oil drop containing a pure (blue, on the left) or a soapy (red, on the right) water droplet.
The compound droplets are of great importance in fiber-based microfluidics since they prevent evaporation and contamination. Depending on the nature of the inner droplet, the behavior of the system is different. For pure water, the inner droplet forms a spherical cap whereas, for soapy water, the droplet spreads inside the oil drop and a quadruple contact line is formed. The position of the droplets on the fiber depends on the balance between capillary and gravity forces. When the gravity forces prevail over the capillary forces, the droplets fall off the fiber. The picture shows the form adopted by the droplets when they are close to the detachment. The nature of the inner droplet influences the shape of the compound drop which is more elongated for pure water than for soapy water.

Woman accused of putting braces on people in her living room with no license
A Waukesha woman could face criminal charges for putting cut-rate braces on teeth without a license.
Some of the patients now have irreparable damage to their teeth and gums, an area orthodontist said.
In the living room of a Waukesha house, police said they believe a 35-year-old woman was running an illegal dental office, fitting children and adults with cut-rate braces.
"Were you fixing people's teeth here, or trying to?" WISN 12 News reporter Nick Bohr asked the woman.
"I was trying to help people," the woman said.
According to a search warrant, she charged about $1,000, or about a fifth of the price of an orthodontist.
But many of her clients suffered problems with bleeding gums and tooth pain, even bone loss, and started showing up for help at legitimate orthodontists like Dr. Michael Bubon in Waukesha.
"We ended up evaluating those patients and yes, indeed, they had significant problems with their teeth," Bubon said.
Though modern orthodontists can make it look easy, Bubon said there's real science to correcting teeth and a real danger when it's not done right.
"Yes, we had some major periodontal issues, gum issues, in some of these cases. It was really sad, really tragic. Some of these problems are irreversible. There's no going back for some of these patients. It's too far gone," Bubon said.
Bubon reported the woman and at least six victims have been identified so far in what is now a criminal investigation.
The woman told WISN 12 News she's no longer operating the makeshift clinic from her house because she said it's illegal.
Read more on the story from WISN 12 News' partners at Waukesha Patch.

MOSCOW - A Russian official says it's time for the nation's soldiers to switch from foot wraps to socks.
Since the late 17th century, Russian soldiers have been using wraps, rectangular strips of cloth that are carefully wrapped around their bare feet to prevent blisters from tall heavy boots with no laces.
But Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who took the post two months ago, said he was surprised to learn that some soldiers are still using the wraps, called "portyanki" in Russian, and told them to use socks instead.
At a televised meeting with military officers Monday, he said, "In 2013, or at least by the end of 2013, we must forget the word portyanki."
Czar Peter the Great adopted the custom from the Dutch army in the late 17th century.

Frankly, the Europeans will deserve it if/when they are over-run by Muslims, who have no problem spitting out kids
Thats a fairly disgusting way of describing the miracle of childbirth. Do you think Muslims should use condoms or have abortions?
The Holy Father has been the universal advocate of the family's fundamental rights at important world meetings, with heads of State, in Parliaments and in conversations with politicians. He has been a determined champion of the rights of all poor families and poor peoples subjected to the arbitrary policies of the powerful who, with no respect for their sovereignty, overwhelm them with pressures and undue demands that are incompatible with their culture and dignity. So it was that his authoritative words rang out in the face of the myth of overpopulation that serves as an excuse for birth control, disrespectful or inhumane, with policies that are the tools of the new ideologies which exploit the weakest.He has rejected the Neo-Malthusian concept that excludes the most deprived from the banquet of life and gives priority to the domination and opulence of the powerful. He unflinchingly takes up the challenge of Paul VI's Address to the General Assembly of the United Nations (4 October 1965): "Your task is to ensure that the harvest of humanity yields food in abundance and does not presage artificial birth control, that would be logical, aiming at reducing the number of those invited to the banquet of life".
That is a bit over the top there, Tom ...
- are you not getting enough attention at home again?
"Your task is to ensure that the harvest of humanity yields food in abundance and does not presage artificial birth control, that would be logical, aiming at reducing the number of those invited to the banquet of life"
So can I assume that the Latin church has now come out in support of Fornication and Adultery? As both of these would help increase 'the number of those invited to the banquet of life.'I'm not going to comment on the over all intelligence of Paul VI, but I will say that his logic was flawed and that this particular statement was poorly thoughtout; I hope he fired that speech writer.
The attention I get at home are the things you dream about.
Where did Pope Paul talk about "increase"?
Oh, he doesn't want an increase? Then, in that case, he should have had no problem with Birth Control.
I asked not what he wanted but what he actually said. Since you mentioned his speechwriter this seems relevant. So where in his speech to Paul VI say "increase"? Or did you just misquote him because insulting Catholics is more important than fidelity to facts?
So is ignoring pedophilia. The RCC is a cesspool and the pope is the anti-christ!
This has to be the most absolute moronic thing I have ever seen written. Thank God, I know this isn't indicative of Orthodox Christians.
No force on zealot monks The Istanbul-based Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Mt Athos monastic community have opted for stealth rather than force in their efforts to evict some 100 ultra-Orthodox monks from the Esphigmenou Monastery.The abbots of the other 19 Mt Athos monasteries met yesterday at Karyes, the community's administrative center, to decide on further action against the Esphigmenou monks whom they asked to leave the monastery in December 2002. The most likely course of action, it appeared last night, is to establish another monastic community, decare it the legal proprietors of the monastery and settle it temporarily elsewhere.Last March, Greece's Council of State, the highest administrative court, rejected an appeal by Esphigmenou's abbot, Methodios, to nullify the eviction order by the Patriarchate and the monastic community. The court said it had no jurisdiction over the matter, adding that the Patriarchate has absolute authority over the community. The Esphigmenou monks broke with the mainstream Orthodox Church in 1964, when Patriarch Athenagoras met with Pope John VI. The ultra-Orthodox regard the pope as evil incarnate.http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_politics_100011_03/09/2005_60363
It is of the TRUE Orthodox. They adhere to the truth that the pope is anti-christ!
You think the RCC will ever have a pope with a brain?
If I were defending birth control before the UN, I would focus on ineffectiveness of birth control, using statistics tailored to my purpose, and argue that free access to birth control encourages behaviour that spreads disease and finally accuse the proponents of birth control availability in the third world of racism, imperialism, and even a type of genocide. Now THAT would be a propaganda speech worthy of the Vatican and it might actually have had some effect other than making the Pope look like a fool before the represenatives of the rulers of the world.
Being an orthodox forum doesn't give anyone the right to insult and offense a personadmired and considered saint to 1.5 BILLION peope. Or maybe u think you're the only one out therewith a brain...?
nor much differnt than those that place their faith in the pseudo-scholars that hate Christianity and the Church.ÂÂ
That would be you Tom. Or now that that approach has failed are you trying a new method to get attention?
Just because a majority of the Orthodox have been sucked into the whole "we are sister churches" lie, does not mean that all have been.
Wow!  Does this mean that you are going to start quoting from the Rudder, leave the GOA and opt for one of the "Truly True REAL Orthodox" synods that is only in Eucharistic communion with itself because everyone else is a graceless ecumenist?   ÂÂ
You mean if you were arguing against it?
First of all, why should any religious leader go to the UN to argue about contraception when the UN is already firmly in the eugenics and "overpopulation" myth making business?
Secondly, the Catholic Church and the traditional Orthodox position do not oppose artificial birth control because of its ineffectiveness but for the simple fact that it is immoral.
The reason the Catholic Church is opposed to artificial contraception is because they made the mistake of publically asserting that posistion when the said posistion was popular and now they are stuck with it...we don't have to make the same political mistake.
I was under the impression that Rome had opposed birth control before then, perhaps my thinking was in error. But even in the 60's, amongst the majority of the population (though perhaps not the most vocal part of the population), birth control would probably have been frowned upon.
Hey whatever it takes for attention.
I think we are getting way off topic here. My intention in the initial thread was to find out why the Roman Catholics (apparently) are not having as many children as say the Muslims. Im sure there is concern that t he RCC may be out populated and out influenced in the near future in many Western European countries.  What will get the RC's back in the bedroom?ÂÂ
A high birth rate is characteristic of a primitive society, especially a primitive agricultural culture; in these contexts large families give additional benifit and security to the parents. However, in more advanced societies large families actually accomplish the opposite, more economic hardship, it's only rational that people take the most benificial path. Then there is the factor of age of marriage, while marrying at an earlier age will deprive one of many advantages in an advanced society, it will actually give advantage in a more primitive agricultural society; and all this is ignoring birth control, which has already been discussed.In short, we have a lower birth rate than the Moslems because we are more technologically advanced, economically secure, and culturally civilized than they are. Now if we're worried about being disadvantaged because of the difference in birth rate, perhaps we're looking in the wrong place for a solution; perhaps our problem is not that we have a low birth rate, perhaps the problem is that we have a form of government that they can influence by nothing more than excessive breeding.
I have married into a very large family. My brother in law - 13 children, My sister in law 8 children, I have over 100 nieces and nephews mostly on my wifes side and we are living in this technological age. It can be done- I am witness to it. almost all the adult children have at least some college and some post graduate degrees. Large families can prosper if you have the determination to do it. We have as a society replaced children with worldly things. This is the quest of most families that is bigger homes, 2 or 3 cars, vacation home and we know that children would prevent us from doing all these wonderful things. What is important in this life?
The RCC is a cesspool and the pope is the anti-christ!
What I don't understand is that if Roman Catholics are adhereing to their churches teachings regarding contraception as they claim they are when they criticize what they call out liberal attitudes... then - Why would it be necessary for the Pope to instruct them to multiply? They and mother nature should already be doing it as they have done for centuries.ÂÂ
Your remarks are unacceptable.The Roman Catholic Church is not a cesspool. It is my mom. It is also my sisters and one of my brothers and so on. It's also many of my neighbors. Etc. The pope is not the anti-christ. He is the bishop of Rome, and he was making a commentary on the psalms to help people in his church to remember that parenthood is a *good* thing.
The Roman Catholic Church is not a cesspool. It is my mom. It is also my sisters and one of my brothers and so on. It's also many of my neighbors. Etc.ÂÂ
Arjuna, don't pay too much attention to Tom. He seems to have a kind of irrational hatred of the Roman Catholic Church. I'm sure that I'm not alone in finding his behavior embarrassing. Rest assured, that you will meet very few raving anti-Catholic bigots like TomS in real-world Orthodoxy.ÂÂ

My computer died and life stopped. I took my laptop into BNY Tech located in the New Yorker Hotel in Manhattan. After diagnosis they informed me that I needed a new hard drive.
I called my IT guru who runs our Technology Sections and asked him what to do. I didn't know a hard drive from hard candy or what would be the best hard drive for my mini HP. His immediate suggestion was to look at the Seagate® Laptop Thin SSHD.
So what is the Seagate® Laptop Thin SSHD? It is a hybrid hard drive. The Seagate® Laptop Thin SSHD fuses the blazing speed of SSD with the high capacity of a hard drive. With Seagate Adaptive Memory™ technology, SSHD dramatically improves boot times and application speeds.
SSHDs utilize Seagate flash management technology to deliver SSD-like performance. Testing consistently shows that Seagate Laptop SSHDs compare favorably to SSDs—without sacrificing capacity
- 500GB, 7mm design for the latest thinnest laptops
- 1TB, 9.5mm design for maximum capacity laptops
- Boots and performs like an SSD
- Up to 5× faster than a traditional 5400-RPM HDD
- Easy laptop upgrade to boost performance and capacity
Cool huh? But what about that adaptive memory technology, what is that? I'm so glad you asked:
Adaptive Memory Technology is a smart algorithm that constantly runs in the background and is done by the drive itself. No operating system drivers needed...it works with MacOS, Windows, and Linux. Basically, it memorizes the files you need most, or use the most at boot, application load, etc and places them in the SSD. That way, your boot time and application load time is dramatically reduced. It takes about 3 boots for the drive to know you...at that point the drive and system is running at the highest performance. It's always learning though, so no matter what you do, the drive will always adjust to have your most needed files in the flash.
Even my non techy brain gets how exciting that is. The drive was ordered and shipped out overnight. It felt a little like Christmas when my Seagate® Laptop Thin SSHD came in the mail. As exciting as that moment was, it couldn't compete when I went in to pick up my laptop after the hard drive was installed. I couldn't even leave the building without staking claim to a chair in the lobby right next to an outlet. Plugging in and powering up. I was not disappointed. The processing speed was exhilarating. It was such fun to see it take a moment as it memorized my request and then the next time I asked, zip to it fast, fast, fast. On top of that when I look and see how much more room I had left to store data. Yes! I now have a computer which doesn't take ten minutes to process a request. A computer which has oodles of storage space and is faster than it was when it was new. And I am safely connected to the 21st century once again. Well done Seagate, well done.

"Hi, I used to weight 180 lbs until a couple of months ago, and my weight has always been an issue both for my appearance and my self esteem.I managed to lose 6 pounds within the first 10 days, and then started to lose one pound every two days, which is perfect as there are no stretch marks left. Still on it but it's really working for me."~~Paula Clark, LA~~

Another very slow month for CD shopping! Maybe it's because we are nearing the holidays? Maybe it's because I'm so far behind on new releases? Maybe it's because I'm saving a little money? I made it out to the record store early in the month so here's the shopping trip, the only one I made in November!
Newbury Comics
Megadeth – Th1rt3en (2011) – $12: Another new Megadeth record! That alone is enough to get my lazy butt in the car and drive 10 minutes to the record store! The last few Megadeth records have been really great, on par with the classic albums from the band's beginning. Aside from RISK (1999), have there really been any bad Megadeth albums? TH1RT3EN marks the band's 13th studio album and the first album since 2001's THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO that founding bassist Dave Ellefson plays on. I've been catching a lot of Megadeth lately either on TV or radio so all the signs have been pointing to this new record, hopefully I will be able to catch them on tour. The new single 'Public Enemy #1' is a solid song and cool to hear on the radio…..at least it's been played here in the New England area. Of course, the sale price had a lot to do with my picking up the CD right away, regular price would have been $17 so saving $5 is a good thing.
Steel Panther – Balls Out (2011) – $10: Based on the old school record cover…..a must purchase! I have to give Steel Panther credit, they don't stray from their over the top concept and they've made a decent career after it whether it's been as Danger Kitty (Discover Card commercial), Metal Shop or Metal Skool. Similar to Fozzy at the beginning I guess. I didn't really get into their first CD, FEEL THE STEEL (2009), but I intend to give that album and BALLS OUT a fresh listen. Back to the cover…..I love the torn price tag in the top left corner: "used records….$1.69" and the ring wear as if this was an actual used vinyl jacket. Oh yeah, there's a chick on the cover too! If I saw this cover back when I was 13 I would have had to hide the record from my mom! Regular price was $15 and this album had come out a couple weeks before Megadeth so I was fortunate to find a copy with the sale price, saved $5.
Heavy Metal Parking Lot (20th Anniversary DVD) (2005) – $10 used: A must have for any Metal fan who spent time in an arena parking lot before a concert back in the '80s! I remember seeing Heavy Metal Parking Lot back in the day on cable access and featured on MTV News but I re-discovered it online back in 1998 and I've been trying to get my own copy ever since. I've had this on the list a while and it's available at Amazon, the film's website and various independent retailers but I never got around to buying it because it's so readily available at online video sites. This DVD wasn't in the racks the previous couple of times I'd been to the store so seeing it there this time around was a complete surprise! Online prices with shipping are around $20 so buying this pristine used copy for half price saved a cool $10.
Trillium – Alloy (2011) – $14: Trillium is Amanda Somerville's (Somerville/Kiske, solo, Avantasia, etc) new Metal project but she's really been a fixture on the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal scene for years because of her extensive vocal work (lead and background) on many albums from Epica, After Forever, Kamelot, Aina, Edguy and Mob Rules. When I read she was releasing the Trillium album on Frontiers Records I knew I was buying it because the Kiske/Somerville album (with former Helloween vocalist Michael Kiske) was one of the best albums of 2010. The only problem was that the Trillium record going to be hard to find at the local shop and it would be at an import price. Sure enough, there was only one copy in the racks and the sale price was an expensive $14 (regular was $17!) but I didn't want to order it online and pay the extra money for shipping. Finding this CD in the racks on sale saved $3 but it probably saved a few more dollars compared to ordering online.
Total = $46
Total (year) = $933
Average Price (per item) = $8.72
Total Savings (month) = $23
Total Savings (year) = $836
Total CDs (year) = 99
Total DVDs (year) = 7
Total Box Sets (year) = 0
Total LPs (year) = 1

Untitled (early stages of Darling Harbour re-development)
Steven Lojewski
England, Canada, Australia
1952 -
Steven Lojewski grew up in Canada and moved to Australia in 1969. He studied photography at Prahran College of Advanced Education and then at Sydney College of the Arts in the 1970s. He began lecturing at Sydney College in 1978. Lojewski's early black and white work concentrated on aspects of urban architecture but by the mid 1980s this interest had become more that of an archaeologist. Lojewski began to focus on the fine details of urban detritus and the industrial. His large body of work for the CSR photography project presents claustrophobic interiors where the meaning of the machinery and spaces is lost.
Lojewski's Darling Harbour photographs present the soon to be developed site as similarly lacking in scale though his shots are taken from above and it is clear that they are out of doors. Lojewski revels in the remarkable detail of such a disregarded environment by using a large format camera which produces 6 x 9 cm negatives and the viewer is free to roam over the detail of odd structures and piles of dirt – all flattened by the birds eye view.
In 1991 Lojewski wrote: 'I see my work acting as a type of archaeological tomb of information and knowledge to be used in the future as evidence of the times and places in which I photograph…. My interest in the urban landscape is not just a matter of dealing with visual issues but to recognise social and human processes.'1

The ancient Greeks started the tradition of having an Olympic flame in Olympia. A sacred flame is lit by the sun's rays and stays alight until the games have ended. The flame symbolized a request for protection from Zeus and the athletes' struggles for victory.
The modern flame symbolizes the light of the spirit ,knowledge and life.To this day, the torch is still lit in Olympia in Greece then carried by a relay team, passing runner to runner ,until it reaches the host-city of the games. There ,the cauldron will be lit and stay alight until the closing ceremony.


text: Poison Prevention for Parents and Caregivers Did you know… Over 2.4 million people each year swallow or have contact with a poisonous substance and over half of those are children under 6? 9 out of 10 poisonings occur at home? 24 children lost their lives due to poisoning in 2010? Keep the toll-free nationwide poison control center number (1-800-222-1222) and local emergency numbers near every telephone. If you suspect poisoning and a child is choking, collapses, can't breathe or is having a seizure, call 911. Otherwise, take the product to the phone and call the poison control hotline. Follow the Steps Below to Help Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones: The most dangerous potential poisons include medicines, cleaning products, personal care products, cosmetics, antifreeze, pesticides, and gasoline. Store these items in locked cabinets and keep out of sight and reach of children. Check labels when administering medication to children and always use the dosage tool that comes with the medicine. Keep all medicine in containers that have safety caps and throw away old or expired medication. Never store household and chemical products in food containers (like cups or bottles) and never mix chemical products together, which could cause them to react with each other. Maintain working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors; make sure to test and change batteries regularly on them. Check homes built before 1978 for lead-based paint. Remove any peeling paint or chewable surfaces painted with lead-based paint. Secure remote controls, key fobs, greeting cards, and musical children's books. These and other devices contain button batteries that can cause serious injury if digested.
