FLSA Investigations Result In Criminal Convictions
John E. Thompson
Fisher & Phillips LLP - Atlanta Office
November 6, 2013
Previously published on October 30, 2013
A U.S. Labor Department
press release
serves as a reminder that violations of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act can result in more than just back-wage payments and other civil remedies.
According to the Wage and Hour Division, a company, the owner, a plant manager, and an office manager were convicted of separate felony counts arising out of two investigations that disclosed "repeat and willful" FLSA violations and other transgressions. Additional remedies imposed included more than $165,000 in restitution for unpaid overtime and for liquidated damages, $12,100 in civil money penalties, and a fine of $10,000.
The individuals were said to have been sentenced to time served, plus probation.
Some Things
To Do
The Division said that other misconduct besides serious FLSA underpayments was involved. The employer reportedly:
Required "kickbacks" from employees;
Kept "a second set of time records";
Withheld these time records from Division investigators; and
Submitted false payment information to the Division.
FLSA Criminal Penalties
It appears that more than one provision of federal criminal law was asserted in this matter. But
Section 16(a)
of the FLSA itself also authorizes criminal prosecutions.
Generally speaking, this section can be invoked as to any person who is shown beyond a reasonable doubt to have violated the FLSA intentionally, deliberately, and voluntarily, or with reckless indifference to or disregard for the FLSA's requirements. Of course, "any person" includes corporations, partnerships, and other business organizations. However, FLSA criminal liability can also extend to owners, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, managers, supervisors, and even others.
The penalties include a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment for up to six months, or both. However, a person cannot be imprisoned for the first FLSA criminal conviction.
There is a five-year statute of limitations for FLSA criminal enforcement actions.
The Bottom Line
Experience suggests that, up to now, FLSA criminal prosecutions have been fairly infrequent. On the other hand, this recent report demonstrates that enforcement officials are prepared to take this course of action when they believe that egregious circumstances call for it.
Only time will tell whether this hard-line approach will become more common.

Melinda and Melinda
Movies | Woody Allen may not have all the answers, but he does ask some of the right questions
No one is going to accuse Woody Allen of having the answers to life's important questions. At least no one who doesn't share the prolific director's pronounced set of neuroses, obsessions, and eccentricities. But at his best, Mr. Allen at least asks some of the right questions-and often in a way that few other filmmakers are willing to do (e.g., 1989's Crimes and Misdemeanors).
Besides that, Mr. Allen can be pretty funny, at least according to some tastes. But lately, Mr. Allen hasn't been much of either-thoughtful or funny. His latest film, Melinda and Melinda (rated PG-13 for adult situations involving sexuality, and some substance material), offers some of the rewards of Mr. Allen's earlier films but isn't anywhere near as profound or as entertaining as the best of them.
The basic setup involves a dinner discussion between two playwrights, one who writes comedies, the other tragedies. The discussion turns to whether "life" is basically comic or tragic, with each playwright taking the side opposite to his craft. A third dinner guest introduces a true story he's heard, and each playwright begins to fill in the details of the tale, demonstrating that it can be taken in a direction either amusing or heartbreaking.
Thus Melinda and Melinda. Both "Melindas" are played by Australian actress Radha Mitchell, who begins each story by bursting into a dinner party unexpectedly. In the tragic tale, it's a party hosted by "Park Avenue Princess" Chloë Sevigny and her out-of-work-actor husband Johnny Lee Miller; Ms. Mitchell's Melinda is a wayward old college friend. In the comic tale, the party is in the home of feminist filmmaker Amanda Peet and her also out-of-work-actor husband Will Ferrell; Melinda is a depressed neighbor who's taken too many sleeping pills.
Mr. Ferrell plays, essentially, Woody Allen-and does quite well as Mr. Allen's onscreen proxy. Unfortunately, most everyone else in the film also plays some variation of Woody Allen too, and as a result they're all pretty much insufferable and rarely come across as real people.
The value in Mr. Allen's films was once found in a willingness both to take seriously and ridicule varying philosophies and belief systems. Fully understood or not, ideas had consequences. But from the weakly deconstructed setup to an even weaker eat-drink-and-be-merry finale, not much about Melinda communicates a similar intellectual rigor.

__"I heard Milton Glaser make a relevant point in a lecture. To loosely paraphrase what he said %u2013 if I could ever bring a solution to a client that was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before, they would have no reaction, positive or negative. It is the association to past experiences that people connect with.
Logolounge.com now has over 97,000 logos in the archives. I would bet most have been created in the last 5 or 10 years.
I think if anyone is looking to see something "unlike anything anyone had ever seen before" in a logo on this or any site, they are setting themselves up for disappointment."__

All good logos have major similarities and trying to avoid them and create something obscure often results in a meaningless logo.
Catch 5 as a name lends itself too well for a concept such as this not be explored.

A man fatally shot in Clare County has been identified as a Harrison school board member who also drove buses and previously served as the district's transportation director.
Floyd Dennis was found dead at his home Friday, about 12 miles southwest of Harrison. A 32-year-old woman is in custody. She could appear in court Tuesday.
The 68-year-old Dennis joined the Harrison school board in 2008, but his service to the district is much longer. Superintendent Tom House calls him a "valuable member of the school community," 100 miles north of Lansing.
Clare County authorities so far aren't releasing many details about the investigation.

We advised Church House Investments on an MBO which paves the way for acquisition of parent Church House Trust by Virgin Money.
A Burges Salmon corporate team, led by partner Chris Godfrey and associate Jonathan Eves, advised Church House Investments (CHI) and its management in the buy out of Church House Investments from Church House Trust to establish CHI as an independent asset management business.
The deal was an integral part of the well-publicised purchase by Virgin Money of CHI's parent, Church House Trust; a Somerset-based private bank the acquisition of which enabled Virgin Money to acquire a UK banking licence more quickly than a full FSA application process.
Chris Godfrey commented: "We were delighted to help the CHI management with their MBO. We wish them and CHI well for the future. It was also extremely interesting to have a role in the wider transaction which, as has been noted extensively in the press, is a strategically significant one for Virgin Money".

How to Win a Class Representative Election
There is one really important thing to do when you are running for a class representative: Always be kind and friendly.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Try to come across as a hardworking person and and someone who is prepared to step to the next level and do what needs to be done.
2Always make a few promises but not too many. Don't overdo it.
3Make a few simple posters, nothing too fancy, because you will only be a class rep of your grade so you don't need them all over the school. Give people note cards to show you are ready to become class rep.
4Write your speech in advance and don't write it the night before the elections, because you won't be able to practice it, write it ASAP.(as soon as possible)
5Try to interact with everyone. If you just hang out with one group of people those people will be the only ones voting for you.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Always write the speech in your own words and words you would use everyday like "fun" and "talk," not exquisite or communication devices.
- It's your speech, it is okay to get help from websites and your parents, but you are the one presenting it so keep it simple.
- Keep everything simple, especially the poster.
- Try not to get too much help with your speech. Make it your own.
- Don't make too many promises because people will vote for you and you will have to give them what they want or they will get angry.
- Never overdo it: don't put too many posters up or start giving out stuff randomly.
Things You'll Need
- You will need lots of people to like you, so if you think this girl who sits in the corner everyday doesn't really like you then go over, get to know her and you will get her vote.

Affects 60,000 Americans Annually
8,000 Deaths Annually
Audio: "Malignant melanoma is the most serious form of common skin cancer affecting slightly over 60,000 Americans every year and resulting in about 8,000 deaths in this country annually."
Text: Most At Risk
History of Melanoma in first degree relatives
Multiple peeling sunburns before age 20
Audio: "Those folks that are most at risk for melanoma are folks with: fair hair, light-colored skin, blue or green eyes, folks who have had melanoma in first degree relatives – that is to say parents and siblings or children; and folks who have had multiple peeling sunburns principally before the age of 20."
Text: Self-Exam
Audio: "For those folks who are at risk for melanoma, it's important to do self-examinations. We use the A, B C, D, E acronym to discern whether any particular mole is suspicious for melanoma. 'A' stands for 'asymmetry.' That is to say, one side of the mole does not look like the other side of it. 'B' stands for 'border irregularity.' Benign moles should have a smooth contour. Malignant melanoma commonly has borders that are pushing or irregular. 'C' stands for 'color differences' within the same mole, so if a mole has browns, blacks, blues or red all within the same mole it is suspicious. 'D' stands for 'diameter.' Most malignant melanomas are six millimeters in size or greater, which is about the size of a number two pencil eraser. And 'E' stands for 'evolution.' If any mole is changing over time, it is suspicious."
Text: Most cases treated with outpatient surgery
Audio: "The operation to remove the melanoma is commonly outpatient – that is the patient comes in that day, has a procedure lasting 45 minutes to an hour and then can go home."
Text: Early detection and diagnosis is critical
Audio: "The most important thing to remember about malignant melanoma is that when diagnosed early, it is almost always curable. So early detection, either by yourself, a loved one or your physician, can be life saving."

The Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General and XTO Energy Inc. will head to trial after a Pennsylvania district judge's ruling on criminal charges filed by Kathleen Kane against the energy company.
Last September, Attorney General Kane filed criminal charges against the Exxon Mobil subsidiary after an inspection by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection discovered a discharge of drilling wastewater in Lycoming County.
More than 50,000 gallons of toxic wastewater were illegally discharged from the company's Marcellus Shale gas well, leading to XTO being charged with five counts of unlawful conduct under the Clean Streams Law and three counts of unlawful conduct under the Solid Waste Management Act, according to a press release issued by the Attorney General's office.
Dan Spadoni, a community relations coordinator for the DEP, said the department first discovered the spill in November 2010 and continues to oversee mandatory ground and surface water monitoring by XTO Energy.
Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania Governor John Hanger released a statement earlier this month thanking Kane for filing criminal charges against the company.
Hanger was the Secretary of the DEP at the time of the investigation and referred the case to the Attorney General to investigate whether any criminal activity had occurred.
While leading the DEP, Hanger more than doubled the staff in the department's Oil and Gas bureau, from 88 employees in September 2008 to 210 in just two years.
Hanger implemented a number of new rules that significantly tightened regulations and authorized and instructed his employees to aggressively inspect and enforce environmental safety regulations, Roger Cohen, political director for Hanger's campaign, said.
One of these new employees was responsible for discovering that six tanks filled with drilling wastewater had their valves open, spilling contaminants into the environment, Hanger said, calling it an "extraordinary finding."
Hanger said water pollution is a serious matter that needs to be dealt with properly, and said he hopes this case sends a message to the oil and gas industries.
He said he believes it is essential to send a message to the oil and gas industries after seeing the effects of the recent chemical spill in West Virginia, which has left approximately 300,000 residents without clean drinking water.
If elected governor, Hanger promised to be "the toughest governor in the country on the oil and gas industry."
In July, XTO Energy settled a case with the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Justice. The settlement requires XTO to pay a penalty of $100,000 and an estimated $20 million on a comprehensive plan to improve wastewater management practices, according to a press release issued by the EPA.
"We continue to believe these charges are unprecedented, baseless and an abuse of prosecutorial discretion," Suann Lundsberg, a spokeswoman for XTO Energy, said. "There is no evidence XTO or any of its employees intentionally, recklessly or negligently discharged produced water on the site."
The DEP has not taken an enforcement action pending the results of the criminal charges filed by the attorney general, Spadoni said.

So here it is, our super early trailer for our third game which currently has no title. Let's get some of the obvious questions out of the way first:
Release Date: See Trailer
Console : No specifics yet
Price: No idea
Game Details: Coming Soon
That should cover the basics. the game is in a very super early development stage right now. We're fortunate enough to have some awesome programmers that can get us playable versions of our games very very very early on. At any rate here we go, enjoy!

I have recently become enamoured with creating realistic (hopefully!) climate models for my fictional worlds. While it is fun to do so by hand using tutorials like this one, I would love to have software to assist me in this. Is there such a program?
I have looked at Fractal Terrains, but its "climate model" does not simulate atmospheric currents or oceanic currents - so it really isn't much of a climate model to speak of, and the climates it generates are very unrealistic (no deserts, no differences in climate between west coasts / east coasts of continents, no rain shadows, and so on).
There is a program called EdGCM (Educational Global Climate Modeling), but that one only works for Earth. You can't use any maps / elevation data sets of your own with it.
A search told me that a guild member was planning to create a realistic climate model program a few years back, but it never got past the alpha stage.
So, if anyone knows of some software, I would be very grateful.

The federal government has severed the Internet connection of a company accused of helping criminals serve up a "witches' brew" of nasty content online, from computer viruses to child pornography.
It's likely to be just a short-lived victory in the fight against cybercrime, though, since bad guys are very good at getting back online quickly.
The Federal Trade Commission said Thursday that it has ordered the shutdown of a company called Pricewert LLC, described in a complaint filed in San Jose, Calif., federal court as an Oregon-based shell company run by "overseas criminals", operating out of Belize and running many its illegal operations out of servers in Silicon Valley.
Pricewert, which operated the "Triple Fiber Network" or "3FN," wasn't the type of Internet service that average consumers would see or sign up for. Instead, the service was advertised "in the darkest corners of the Internet" and was targeted at criminals who want to put malicious Web sites online, but need the servers and bandwidth to do it, according to the complaint.
Technicians working for 3FN even helped criminals maintain the armies of personal computers that they had infected with viruses, according to the complaint. Those armies are known as "botnets," and they require some sophistication to manage.
The FTC says the case marks the first time the agency has ordered the shuttering of an Internet provider. The agency has usually focused on taking out harmful Web sites individually. Companies that host malicious Web sites are usually forced offline under pressure from the FBI or computer security researchers, but without a formal government order – which is what makes Thursday's announcement significant.
FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz said the agency decided to move on 3FN after getting information about the company's behavior that made it "so clear this was a rogue (Internet service provider)" that the agency had a strong case against it.
"This is very, very important because rather than go after the individual spammers, in one action we can shut down a host of bad actors," Leibowitz said in an interview. "There's always a whack-a-mole problem in cases like this, but at the very least we've put a meaningful wrench in their gears."
The FTC's complaint draws a link between 3FN and a notorious Internet provider called McColo Corp., which was also operating out of a data center in Silicon Valley.
McColo was believed responsible for half of the world's spam before it was shut down in November. Spam dropped precipitously after McColo's Internet providers pulled the plug on McColo, but it has since rebounded.
When investigators from NASA looked into intrusions into some of its computers, they traced them back to McColo's servers. A search warrant later revealed those servers were also routing instant message conversations between 3FN employees and customers that formed the basis of some of the FTC's allegations.
A man who picked up the phone at one of 3FN's offices Thursday night said the company wasn't commenting and hung up.

Pete and I were trying to figure out what to bring up to New York for Christmas. We were driving up Tuesday, staying overnight in Virginia, then driving up to New York. Pete wanted to cook, but we needed something that would travel well. And that would last. It would have to be made on Monday night and not eaten until Thursday.
What to bring?
We had two bottles of wine from the California Wine Club. Add a little brandy, triple sec, fruit, orange juice, and Sprite, and we were done.
That's part of the appeal of the California Wine Club. There's a good chance you will have wine around, in case you need it.
This was our second [[and, unfortunately final]] month of our California Wine Club subscription. Each month, you will get two bottles of wine in the mail. You can opt to send it for one month up to one year. Both times, we've gotten a bottle of red and one of while. If you missed the post about last month, check it out here.
This month, the wine came wrapped in shiny bags, which we actually kept so that we can wrap holiday gifts in it. The shipment also came in my favorite new Styrofoam style. I'm still impressed with it.
It also came with a carrying case, in case we are bringing two bottles of wine to a friends' house at once. I love this because it's actually made to transport wine, so you don't have to worry about it banging around in an oversized bag.
Have all the posts got you interested in the California Wine Club. We are giving one lucky reader a $50 California Wine Club gift certificate to use towards any one of the monthly clubs. Head over to this link and let us know which club you would choose if you won. Then, head to the Rafflecopter for bonus entries.

Bounded Set Theory
Library Home || Full Table of Contents || Suggest a Link || Library Help
|Vladimir Sazonov
|Bounded Set Theory (BST) is a weak version of the ordinary set theory. Its main feature is paying main attention to using bounded quantification (as in the ordinary everyday mathematical practice) and other analogous bounded constructs. The language of this set theory, called DELTA, allows to define both set-theoretic (bounded) formulas and operations. The main universe of sets for BST consists of hereditarily-finite sets and is called HF. However, the universe for Zermelo-Frenkel set theory does as well. Links to papers and software.

04 February 2010
Today's landmark copyright decision in Roadshow Films Pty Ltd v iiNet Ltd (No. 3) [2010] FCA 24 is a welcome one for internet service providers (ISPs). It means that an ISP will not be liable for copyright infringement merely for providing access to the internet, even when it has knowledge of copyright infringement by its customers and does not take steps to stop it occurring.
iiNet, an Australian ISP, had been served with notices by the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT), alleging that iiNet's customers were infringing the copyright of the major film studios - specifically by sharing and downloading films and TV shows via the BitTorrent peer-to-peer protocol.
The copyright owners and their exclusive licensees then launched legal action against iiNet, alleging that it had authorised its users' copyright infringement.
Did iiNet authorise the infringement?
Copyright owners do not have to sue the actual infringer of their copyright - and often, it's simply not worth doing it financially. The Copyright Act allows them to sue intermediaries who have authorised the infringement, but this turns on:
The case had significant implications for ISPs who are routinely sent infringement notices by copyright owners. If the copyright owners were successful, ISPs could have been forced to take responsibility for the infringing acts of their customers.
Justice Cowdroy held that there was no authorisation because:
Was there a safe harbour for iiNet?
The Copyright Act establishes a safe harbour for carriage service providers, which includes ISPs, similar to that in the USA's Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Because iiNet had not authorised the infringement, Justice Cowdroy did not strictly need to decide how the section affected iiNet. However, he held that, if it had authorised the infringements, iiNet would have been protected.
In order to qualify for the safe harbour, an ISP must adopt and reasonably implement a policy that provides for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the accounts of repeat infringers. The Court found that the requirements of the repeat infringer policy itself are minimal, with significant latitude granted to ISPs to determine the policy. Although iiNet did not implement the policy sought by AFACT, notices on its website and the terms of its customer agreements were sufficient to meet the safe harbour requirements.
What power did iiNet have anyway?
Under section 276 of the Telecommunications Act, carriers or providers cannot disclose or use any information or document that relates to the contents or substance of a communication that it carried, and learnt of because it carried it.
iiNet's position was that this applied to its position: it couldn't have the power to prevent infringement if it couldn't use the knowledge of infringement it gained by virtue of being the ISP.
Again, although it was unnecessary for Justice Cowdroy to decide this issue, he didn't agree - this doesn't bar an ISP from acting.
How many infringements?
One other interesting issue in the case was the number of primary infringements by iiNet subscribers. Justice Cowdroy held that the act of infringement occurs when the pirated file is made available through the BitTorrent system - which happens once. The subsequent "transmissions" of the files are not further infringements. This is a crucial issue for any future infringement case as the number affects the damages (and indeed, any characterisation of a person as a "repeat" infringer).
What should you do now?
Whichever way the decision went, it was always likely that an appeal would be made, and so Justice Cowdroy's judgment is unlikely to be the final word on this important issue.
For now, however, ISPs can breath a little easier. Their routine business of providing access to the internet will not, by itself, mean that they authorise their customers' acts of copyright infringement. Nor are they obliged to contact customers or terminate their accounts in response to notices from copyright owners.
For copyright owners, this decision shuts off a potentially powerful way of reining in online copyright infringement and has global implications in terms of how this difficult issue should be addressed.
John Fairbairn and Timothy Webb acted for the Internet Industry Association in relation to the proceedings.
26 February 2010: The decision in this case is being appealed to the Full Federal Court.

Canada's puny penny coin, loved by some but an annoyance to many, will be withdrawn from circulation this year because it costs too much to make and is a pecuniary pest, the government announced on Thursday.
Ottawa said the penny retained only one twentieth of its original purchasing power. It costs 1.6 cents to produce each one cent coin and stamping out the penny will save around $11 million a year.
"Some Canadians consider the penny more of a nuisance than a useful coin. We often store them in jars, throw them away in water fountains or refuse them as change," the government said in a budget document.
"Financial institutions face increasing costs for handling, storing and transporting pennies. Over time, the penny's burden to the economy has grown relative to its value as a means of payment," it said.
Other nations that have either ceased to produce or have removed low denomination coins include Australia, Brazil, Finland, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Britain.
The Royal Canadian Mint will stop distributing penny coins to financial institutions later this year. As the coin slowly disappears, prices for cash transactions will be rounded up or down to the closest five cents.
Non-cash payments such as cheques, credit and debit cards will continue to be settled to the cent.

When 15 year old Damien Bynoe and two friends took a gun and went to settle a dispute, 15 year old Korey Grant and 11 year old Charles Copney, Jr. wound up dead. Public outcry over the case led Massachusetts politicians to pass one of the country's toughest juvenile crime laws. Frontline probes what turned Damien into a kid with a gun and examines the debate over how to deal fairly with him and other young people drawn into the violence on our streets.

Lynda and her family lost their son and brother Eli to a Heroin overdose in 2009. Linda quickly found out that when you lose a loved one to a drug overdose, many support and help groups aren't able to address some of the issues that grieving families are facing. Working through her loss daily inspired Lynda to start a support group to do just that, "support surviving family members who have suffered the loss of their loved ones due to addiction!" Tune in today to hear Lynda's story!

I went to the ER at the hospital and it was terrible. The staff was in a hurry to get me out of there because it was time for them to go home. The PA had no idea what was wrong with me and sent me home with 3 prescriptions. None of which helped. I got a lot sicker the next couple of days and had to go somewhere else and pay again for someone who could actually help. And for this service they charged me $1000. Do NOT ever use their ER.

I had surgery at Northside Hospital on July 31,2013. My surgery was a planned surgery on the third floor. I arrived and was taken back to a room to be prepped for surgery. Every person that I encountered in the pre-op area and the recovery area after surgery was incredibly kind and helpful. I was kept overnight and given a room on the third floor. My day nurse was named Anna, and she was absolutely wonderful! She came as soon as I called for her, and she was very quick to get me anything I needed. When we had a little trouble managing my pain, she did everything she could until it was fixed. When the night nurses came on, there weren't enough patients, so they sent all the nurses home except one, Peggy. Unfortunately, she was not what I hoped for. As soon as she came in to my room, she gave me a horrible attitude. The rest of the night she was very slow to respond, and didn't come in my room unless I called. All and all my experience was very good, with the exception of the one nurse.

The only forensic crime lab in Southern Illinois is scheduled to close by this time next year. The governor is consolidating the crime lab in Carbondale with a new facility in Belleville in order to save money.
Jackson County State's Attorney Mike Carr says law enforcement can still investigate and prosecute crimes without the lab nearby. "But we're just not going to be as efficient," Carr says.
Williamson County Sheriff Bennie Vick says he expects investigations to take longer. "These crimes are happening in this area. These crime lab technicians live in this area. They have a vested interest in this area and seeing that crimes are solved in this area. Belleville's not going to have that," he said.
The lab is set to close in June of next year. State Police say all current staff members will have a job at the new facility.

Sydney coach John Longmire had a simple answer to how the reigning AFL premiers will handle the six-week absence of Adam Goodes, the club's most prized talent.
They did it last year and will have to do it again.
Longmire revealed on Monday that Goodes would undergo arthroscopic knee surgery to treat cartilage damage, meaning at least six games out of the team.
The dual Brownlow Medallist was sidelined for seven rounds last year due to a quad injury, but had 11 matches to get ready for the September finals.
This time, it's a round-21 return that is the best-case scenario for the 33-year-old, which would leave him just three games to find match fitness before the finals.
Goodes was last week upbeat about his chances of missing only one game and returning for the Swans' clash with Melbourne, but a discussion with club doctor Nathan Gibbs on Friday convinced him otherwise.
In typical no-nonsense fashion, Longmire described the setback as unfortunate but something the club wouldn't be dwelling on.
"Last year, we were pretty competitive with him out and, at some point in your evolution as a footy team, you've got to make sure you can cover some of the star players that have carried the load for a long time," Longmire said.
"Adam has certainly carried a fair load at this footy club for a long time and it's been good to see the development of other players.
"We've seen (Jarrad) McVeigh and Kieren Jack, and others take their game to a new level. Ryan O'Keefe, Jude Bolton are still playing pretty well, and the younger group have been good as well.
"We think the balance of the team has meant that if an Adam Goodes misses, we can still be competitive and that's what it needs to be.
"We can't just rely on Adam Goodes to win us games of footy."
The Swans' premiership defence has been peppered with injuries.
Longmire was missing nine of his 2012 premiership side for Friday night's SCG win over Carlton.
"That's been a bit of a challenge, but it's also provided some magnificent opportunities for players," Longmire said.
"We may not have seen what Dane Rampe's been able to do, or seen Jed Lamb play his first game or Brandon Jack debut.
"Importantly, they've contributed to us winning - they need to keep doing that."
There might be some relief coming for Longmire, with centre half-forward Sam Reid (quad) and ruckman Shane Mumford (jaw) both a chance of taking on the Demons on Sunday.

Yoga!!!!!!! If you can find a certified Anusara yoga teacher in your area, go to a class and explain your problem to them; because they are so well-versed in anatomy and targeted poses/stretches/correct posture, they could likely provide some good advice. My friend had pain on her sacrum until Chris Chavez (SF-based Anusara yoga teacher) explained how she was actually standing with her hips tilted back too much, which caused the bones along her lower spine to pop out. She has been painless ever since. Back pain's the worst, I know -- but there are exercises to help you -- good luck!posted 02/21/2010 by FranglaisMom
You should seek out a Chiropractor. Chiropractic adjustments can do wonders for you body, especially while pregnant. You may have pinched nerves that an adjustment would help with.posted 02/21/2010 by avi8turmommy
not much we can do, the doc will tell you to stay off ur feet but I'm guessing that's not an option I go to the chiropractorposted 02/09/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
first off tell your husband when he will have the baby, he can tell you to stop complaining ;) Secondly, a chiropractor could help adjust the bones putting pressure on the nerve. also icing it down frequently throughout the day may also help.posted 02/10/2010 by nbuchholtz
Prenatal yoga has been a blessing. you should really try it. I'm about to pop my video in right now!!!posted 10/25/2011 by gtmliving
i have accult spinobifida and i always have back pain i'm 37 weeks now and it just keeps getting worse, but if i take a really hot shower and let the water hit only my lower back it helps alot:)posted 05/12/2010 by viperFCKNvalentine
Don't know if your pain is like mine, but I get spasms deep in the hip flexor/piriformis muscle under the gluteus (butt) muscles. I've tried all the other solutions too, but what seems to help a lot is that I have become SUPER diligent about NEVER crossing my legs, tucking one leg under me while I sit or sitting cross-legged (Indian-style)... not even for a minute. I also watch to be sure that when I'm sitting or laying down, that my legs are straight, not rotated in or out. When the ligaments are so loose from the hormones, that kind of rotation puts a ton of pressure on those muscles and exacerbates the pain. The sciatic nerve often runs right through the piriformis muscle and if it's tight, you'll have that terrible sciatic nerve pain. The other stretch you might not think of is for your quadriceps (front of leg). When it gets tight, it pulls down on your pelvis and makes you even more swayed back. Good luck!posted 06/17/2010 by DallasMama1010
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Bend over towards your feet about 45 degrees and start tilting your upper body towards the right or left depending which side you need to stretch and slowly you will feel a pull in your lower back and then your buttocks and down your back thigh. Keep bending over at an angle if you need more stretching. I have sciatic nerve pain, uneven legs and plantar fascitis and visit reg with a chiro and massage therapist and have learned on my own when I can't afford it to come up with these things to do at home to mimic the office visits.posted 06/12/2010 by Bee2010
Sounds like your siatic (sp?) nerve. Which is a common nerve that gets pinched during pregnancy, or if you have a fall. Thats when I pinched mine was when I slipped on the ice 2 years ago. Now pregnant with # 2, it acts up when the baby lays funny and puts pressure on it. I found my best way to calm the uncomfortable pain was stretching and visiting a chropractor.posted 04/27/2010 by coxkix69
I have found yoga to help my lower back pain. It didn't help completely the first time, but if you do it regularly it helps. My hips were KILLING me and I was having a tough time because I had the worst morning(all day) sickness, but as soon as I could, I started yoga and it helped tremendously.posted 04/10/2010 by Dvine4

Did you notice that shamrocks appear in both of this week's real weddings? On Kelly and Martin's invitations, and the cufflinks Amy gave to Naveen. A happy accident since I wasn't clever enough to have planned it that way. Well, today's post brings us even more shamrocks, with a faux wedding just for St. Patrick's Day, as imagined by wedding planner and designer, Shannon Leahy. Says Shannon: "I have always loved my Irish heritage and wanted to celebrate the upcoming holiday with a wedding fit for St. Patrick's Day! When I started doing research on the internet, I couldn't find much inspiration for a sophisticated, elegant Irish wedding and I knew I had to create one."
On with the inspiration! Fabulous photos at Manka's taken by Larissa Cleveland…
Says Shannon, "We wanted the shoot to feel like early Spring, just coming out of Winter, and the moody location at Manka's (complete with the Spring showers) was the perfect backdrop."
I'll confess something: I don't usually like boutonnieres. I find that they're often too big, and end up looking more like a corsage than a boutonniere (my mother may have had something to do with my feelings on this subject…). But this boutonniere? This is just right! Totally understated, and very sweet. It pairs perfectly with the simple bridal bouquet of parrot tulips and white bell flowers.
Shannon was inspired by a variety of fabrics she had collected at the San Francisco Design Center and vintage lace, embroidered ribbons and twine found at The Ribbonerie. For the imagined bride and groom, these bits of ribbon are used in a traditional Celtic hand fasting ceremony, and then again throughout the tablescape. Spring branches create a lovely, seasonal backdrop for the ceremony.
I love this idea of a miniature accordion guest book – it would be such an easy and fun thing for the bride and groom to take with them after the wedding, to read all of their guests' well wishes. Stitching in neutral thread ties all of the stationery items together. And, in true Manka's fashion, the dinner menu is wonderfully whimsical, with items like "Halibut Plucked from the Surrounding Seas, Dappled with Coastal Clams and Housemade Bacon, Thanks to Mr. Pasternak's Pig" and "Local Goat's Milk Cheese Wrapped in Walnut Alongside Buttons of Quince and Syrup of the Same."
Slàinte is like "Cheers!" and literally means "health." A perfect little touch to any toasts at this Irish-inspired faux wedding. Especially when toasting with pints of Guinness topped off with shamrocks!
The cake incorporates fun textures, and the flowers and ruffles are finished off with edible gold dust.
Inspired by a Louis XVI-style chair reupholstered in burlap, Shannon found something similar for the "bride" and "groom" from Blueprint Studios and had them monogrammed with their respective initials. Shannon also wrapped the vases in various fabrics, bringing interesting texture to the table. Flowers include parrot tulips, ranunculus, bells of Ireland, and geranium leaves (in mercury glass vases). More blooming branches adorn the fireplace mantle.
Concept, design and flowers: Shannon Leahy Events
Photography: Larissa Cleveland
Venue: Manka's in Inverness, California
Dress: BCBG
Stationery and flowers: Anna Millett of Mira Aster
Cake: Flours
Rentals: Classic Party Rentals / La Tavola Linens / Blueprint Studios
Don't you love all these fun ideas? I think the best part of this faux wedding is that it has a clear theme, without being kitschy – it's totally sophisticated from start to finish. Thanks so much to Shannon Leahy, Larissa Cleveland, and all the other vendors involved in this wonderful photo shoot. I can just imagine what a fun wedding this would be.
Nikki {Perpetually Engaged} /
So many things to love. The simplicity, the clean color palette. The alter is genius (two adirondack chairs and urns?). Not to mention serving Guinness to save money, since it is basically a meal in itself ;)

Oh this is seriously lovely. The cleanliness is perfect.
the Perfect Palette /
such fun ideas! Darling! Elegant too!
Shal /
What are the white flowers in the white vases at the ceremony site… they are sooo dreamy! Love it!

Lissa (The Wedding Bistro at Bellenza) /
If Shannon was looking for an elegant, stylish Irish-inspired wedding, then she has certainly created it! Perfect blend of woodsiness and whimsy, with a clean, crisp palette and delicate details. So lovely!

The shots with umbrella is great. Very Luxe.
jaclyn @ thelateafternoon /
what a gorgeous backdrop! i love how beachy and muted everything looks!
Kandis /
I love this wedding! We are having our wedding next St. Patrick's Day 3/17/12. I was wondering if you knew where she got the shamrocks from??
Jamie /
Does anyone know where she got the shamrocks? I am looking for the same kind and size! Thanks!! :)
Shannon Leahy /
Hi Jamie! We picked the Shamrocks from the side of the road! They don't hold up for long unfortunately :(
Laine /
I love those bent wood chairs! Do they have a name?

I need a map of the UK showing counties that the user can then click on. I've determined that without using flash I can use image maps, and I have a large png county map that I can use.
However, to execute this I would be spending the better half of a day clicking dots on the lines between counties, and would have to repeat the exercise should I make a mistake, browser crashes, or the results arent satisfactory, or the image needs resizing.
Is there an easier way to pull this off without paying out or a large dose of repetitive clicking?

Steering Committee
The Clinical Research Steering Committee (CRSC) reviews all Yale Cancer Clinical Study protocol concepts after approval by their disease team and before full scientific review by the Protocol Review Committee (PRC). The study concept and the use of YCC-supported centralized resources such as data management and research nursing are considered during this review.
The CRSC is also responsible for reviewing protocol accrual and scientific progress of Cancer Clinical studies at least twice annually. These reviews are conducted within the context of the entire Disease Team (DT) portfolio. Disease Team leaders or their designee(s) are required to present the portfolio, discuss progress and accrual (as well as rationales for continuing existing studies, as needed), and the DT's plans for the future. This provides an opportunity for the SC to recommend closures, make suggestions for collaboration with other DT's or recommendations for expanding the portfolio with new studies.
2013 Meeting Schedule and submission deadlines
To submit a new study to the CRSC:
Please submit the following electronically to email@example.com. Templates and forms can be found on our forms page.
- The form must include the signature of the PI and disease team leader. **In the event of a vacancy in Disease Unit leadership, the signature of the section chief or department chair is required.
- While not required for this initial concept review, please submit an electronic version of the protocol if it is ready.

Why Was Bobby Jindal Afraid To Talk About Republican Health Proposals?
Just a quick note on Gov. Bobby Jindal's (R-LA) remarks from last night. Note that, with just a few exceptions, the section about health care sounded like a Democratic press release:
To strengthen our economy, we also need to address the crisis in health care. Republicans believe in a simple principle: No American should have to worry about losing their health coverage – period. We stand for universal access to affordable health care coverage. We oppose universal government-run health care. Health care decisions should be made by doctors and patients – not by government bureaucrats. We believe Americans can do anything – and if we put aside partisan politics and work together, we can make our system of private medicine affordable and accessible for every one of our citizens.
So what's the difference between progressive and conservative health proposals? Listening to Jindal's speech, one can't really tell.
Jindal is shrouding deeply unpopular conservative health principles in progressive rhetoric (and that's no accident). Republicans don't really want to guarantee everyone affordable care, they just want to sound like they do. As Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) indicated during the campaign, Republicans believe that health care is a responsibility, not a right. And as such, the Republican consumer-driven approach won't produce universal coverage.
But most Americans support comprehensive reform that lowers costs and gets everyone into the health system and oppose consumer-driven plans. Republicans like Jindal are trying to co-opt some progressive buzzwords without tipping their hands.

Americans are kind of late to the
political scene. It's something that I
think the younger generations have
come to really take an interest in—
and I include myself in that category," says Moon, who is Asian
American. "People who are powerful
have been here for a very long time
and, by definition, that excludes
[Asian Americans] as a very new
group to Washington."
Pelosi's staff includes several people of color in key positions, including Moon; Dean Aguillen, director of
member services; and Lorraine Miller,
director of intergovernmental affairs.
of an organization that has radically
changed. The NFL requires teams
with head-coaching vacancies to
interview at least one person of color.
The league also requires owners to be
personally involved in the interview
process. That policy change is working. From the league's formation in
1925 to 2003, there had been a total
of eight black head coaches. Today,
there are seven black head coaches.
The Senate has to tackle the diversity issue the same way progressive
corporations have. "You have to make
decisions at a very high level that we
are going to diversify our work force,
William Hoagland
Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn.
Jen Olson
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
One Senate chief of staff who
spoke to DiversityInc on the condition of anonymity says the Senate
is trying to fix the problem by
posting positions in black publications, as well as in traditional outlets such as Roll Call and the
National Journal.
"We have to set up relationships
with historically black colleges
because a lot of times ... you have
a strong relationship with a hometown university, but they may not
have very many African Americans
and Latino graduates," the chief of
staff says.
Internships are important, but
internships alone will do little to
solve the Senate's lack of racial/ethnic diversity. There must be a fundamental change of thinking from senators who have no problem rising on
the Senate floor to give a speech on
inclusion, fairness and the American
way of life and then returning to
their predominately white staffs.
Thornell points to the NationalFootball League (NFL) as an example
and you have to be very intentional
about giving people of color access to
these positions," Strautmanis says.
Voter backlash ultimately may be
the strong medicine that's needed.
"We all answer to our voters. And if
our voters are sensitive to this issue
and they raise it, a member of
Congress doing his job is going to
respond," Durbin says.
Harris, the legislative assistant and
president of the CBA, got his first
job on the Hill in 2003, after graduating with a bachelor's degree in
political science. After being in that
position for six months, he didn't
think it would be a problem finding
a paid staff position.
"I would interview for staff assistant jobs and I was actually told by
a white member's office one time,
'Well, you're overqualified for this
position and we don't feel you
would stay with us long enough.' It
made no sense to me," he says. DI

Obama's mandatory military detention waivers
President Obama has taken the letter of a new law requiring the military detention of al Qaeda terrorists caught inside the United States and eviscerated its spirit.
Well done.
After signing on Dec. 31 the fiscal 2012 national defense authorization act--the law containing a controversial provision requiring military detention of non-citizen al Qaeda suspected terrorists--Obama issued a signing statement calling the requirement "ill-conceived," adding that it "will do nothing to improve the security of the United States."
Now, in a presidential policy directive, PPD 14 (.pdf), Obama has made use of the waivers provision of the law to define seven circumstances under which the mandatory military detention provision would not apply. They circumstances are pretty broad.
For example, an individual first arrested by state or local law enforcement, even if later transferred to federal custody, would be exempt. So would lawful permanent residents, regardless of whether the arresting authority is a federal civilian agency, or state or local law enforcement. An individual whose military detention would "impede counterterrorism cooperation, including but not limited to sharing intelligence" by foreign countries would likewise come under the waiver. In perhaps the broadest waiver, if transferring an individual to military custody "could interfere with effort to secure an individual's cooperation or confession," a waiver would likewise apply.
In short, the likelihood of an al Qaeda-connected terrorist (the law specifies that there must be an affiliation with al Qaeda or associated movements) being subject to mandatory military detention are low. This is a good thing--because the last thing the we should do is to militarize our system of justice.
The rationale for military detention is that we are "at war" with terrorists--and in Afghanistan, we have indeed been at war with al Qaeda and their supporters. At the time we overthrew the Taliban government, Afghanistan was essentially a terrorist state and a military response there after 9/11 was a justified one.
But despite talk of how the war on terrorism is a different one--one that lacks a clearly defined front--a terrorist operating on U.S. soil is best treated as a criminal, not a prisoner of war. Make no mistake, al Qaeda seeks to do us harm; but, military action is a mechanism for when institutions such as courts lack power and jurisdiction.
Within our borders, law enforcement and the judiciary--with all the attendant safeguards against injustice built in--are the way those who actively harm others are held accountable. It quite simply is a bedrock part of who we are as a nation; it is something that al Qaeda seeks to destroy. We shouldn't abet it in doing so, and we should praise Obama for acting as he did. - Dave

hi all,
i've been working on a location tracking app similar to instamapper that once existed. It's called mapper and is free in the apple app store.
Currently it's set to update location every 25 metres (when in background) but will be adding in future version to make this an user setting instead.
Any feedback would be great.
