Unions Involved in Political Parties and the Resulting Legislation
By Punkerslut
The Norris-LaGuardia Act of 1932
In the United States, all major labor laws have been sponsored by the members of the Republican Party. This includes acts that have been passed in favor of protecting the worker's rights, as well as those that constrict the activity of unions. This has been the basic history for the past century in the United States, beginning with the Norris-LaGuardia passed in 1932 and ending with the Taft-Hartley Act passed in 1947. The Democratic Party has only created laws that clarified Republican legislation, such as the National Labor Relations Board Act of 1935. These three laws make up the substance upon which all US labor law is based.
The Norris-LaGuardia act protects workers' right to strike, to form unions, to pool funds in a union for strike benefits, assisting those involved in strikes, and speaking out publicly about the conditions of work or the strike. [*1] Its most useful feature is the prohibition of courts from ordering workers back to strike by use of police, violence, and military force. [*2] [*3] Before this law, it was commonplace for the troops to be rolled out during any major labor dispute, whether the Pullman Strike of 1892 to the Seattle General Strike of 1919.
This law, which intended to protect the union worker from government and capitalist brutality, was sponsored by two Republicans: Senator George W. Norris and Representative Fiorello H. La Guardia. When it was passed, the House of Representatives had two more Republicans than the Democrats, and the Senate had exactly one more Republican than the Democrats. [*4] The president, Herbert Hoover, was also a member of the Republican Party.
The National Labor Relations Act of 1935
In 1935, the congress and the house of representatives took a sharp turn. Franklin Roosevelt, the Democratic Party member, was elected president to the United States in 1933. The Democrats numbered 313 in the House of Representatives to 117 Republicans, and they numbered 59 to 39 Republican counterparts in the Senate. In one single election term, it went from a mild grasp of the government by the Republicans, to complete domination of all branches of government by members of the Democratic Party. [*5]
In order to gain the vote of organized labor, the Democratic Party passed a bill in favor of organized labor. It provided absolutely no rights that differed in any meaningful way from the Norris-LaGuardia Act, while at the same time providing some restrictions to the labor movement. This was the National Labor Relations Act (NLR) of 1935, sometimes called the Wagner Act, after its sponsor, a Democratic Party member. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was the dominant organization of unions at the time, and it had been supporting presidential candidates of the Democratic Party as early as 1912. [*6]
The NLR Act created a very destructive device: the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The Norris-LaGuardia Act prohibited courts from ordering workers back to labor when they wanted to quit. But the NLRB was created to replace the courts, and it was given the power to order courts to order workers not to strike. Not only that, but as time went on, the NLRB has grown conservative. There is no public election in terms of who serves on the board, or any restrictions on who performs such duties. And it has increasingly shown signs of conservatism and anti-unionism.
Workers who are fired from their jobs for voting for the union, for instance, are often still disqualified from voting according to the NLRB, even though they're protected in law by this. [*7] In a careful study of NLRB decisions over several decades, researcher Michael Goldfield discovered that the NLRB almost always favors the employer. The NLRB doesn't enforce the law; in practice, it authorizes violations of union law and then collects fines. Even economics textbooks issued to universities have given an fairly honest representation of the position of the National Labor Relations Board...
The 1932 Norris-LaGuardia Act passed by the a Republican-dominated legislature protected workers; the 1935 NLRB Act passed by a Democrat-dominated legislature protected capitalists. Both of them are worded the same and offer the same guarantees to the workers. But the NLRB creates an essentially new and autocratic branch of the government that is certainly not representative of the people in any legal sense, yet it rules over them. The Labor Relations Board is a theoretical defense of the workers, but like the state-run unions of the Soviet Union and China, its practice is actually the oppression of the workers.
One other difference should be noted between the Norris-LaGuardia Act and the NLRB. The Norris-LaGuardia Act applies to all workers, everywhere, under any jurisdiction, for whatever purposes. The NLRB divided and sub-divided the working-class into different components, excluding some and accepting others. The agricultural workers were excluded, for instance. The primary supporter of the bill among labor was the American Federation of Labor, and since this union refuses to deal with "industrial workers" and "unskilled manual labor," there was no need to cover agricultural workers. Servants were also excluded. Other groups were excluded, as well...
The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947
Another decade would pass before the final piece of significant, labor legislation would be enacted in the United States. This would be the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, or sometimes called the Labor Management Relations Act. The effects of the bill were widespread and numerous. Sympathy strikes, or the act of our union striking with another union to help them, are prohibited. To quote labor economist Chester A. Morgan..."Another form of secondary boycott is associated with the term hot cargo. This refers to the refusal of a group of workers to handle or work on materials which have been shipped from a 'struck' plant [where union-members have been replaced by scabs]. Finally, the secondary boycott may consist of a refusal by workers to work on materials which have been previously processed or semiprocessed by nonunion labor.... while it is lawful for an employer to enlist aid from fellow employers, the union is denied by law the right to seek aid from other unions via the secondary boycott." [*10]
A prohibition against "secondary boycotts," or sympathy strikes, necessarily means the prohibition of the General Strike or any type of mass, anti-Capitalist strike among organized labor. Other types of strikes have been forbidden, such as a strike for a closed shop, or requiring an employer to hire only union members, [*11] as well as "wildcat strikes," or strikes against the rule of pro-business unions like the AFL. [*12] Of course, the American Federation of Labor was a big, long-time supporter of the Democratic Party. Their ideal was "craft unionism," or unions only for highly skilled workers, [*13] [*14] and therefore, tactics like sympathy strikes have never been used by them, since there would never be enough skilled workers to be involved.
Congress at this time, however, was showing a majority of Republicans: 246 against 188 Democrats in the House, and 51 against 45 Democrats in the Senate. The Democrats did have one advantage: the presidency of Harry Truman. When the Taft-Hartley Bill passed, Truman vetoed it. [*15] It would therefore require a two-thirds majority to override the veto, which it was able to obtain. Showing his true spirit, Truman used the law more than twelve times to repress unions during his presidency, crushing one of the most significant steel strikes in the country. [*16] This was the president supported by the American Federation of Labor. But the steel strike was a strike by industrial workers, not craft workers, so the AFL had no problem in watching it be choked to death by the state.
Besides, how could the Republican Party be expected to oppose a bill limiting organized labour? To quote Richard M. Ebeling, "Since 1990, labor unions have contributed over $667 million in election campaigns in the United States, of which $614 million or 92 percent went to support Democratic candidates." [*17] If organized labour is insistent on paying union dues to support a political party that never looked after their interests anyway, why should the Republican Party be any different?
After all, organized labour poured its money into the bank accounts of the enemy, the Democratic Party. What kind of reciprocal behavior should they expect when the party they support, the Democrats, have done little or nothing to advance labor-organizing rights? The Republicans, in supporting a bill limiting worker's rights, were doing only what every Democratic candidate had done in the past, but with union funding. Any other possible reaction would have been out of the scope of the game of politics -- which is the game the biggest unions were playing.
Multiple provisions of the Taft-Hartley Bill have since been repealed, but the law itself still applies and it has even been used by president George W. Bush in 2002 to order workers back to their plants when they refused to work. [*18] Naturally, the law is simply called "the slave-labor bill" in union circles, due to the lack of choice it grants workers who would like to quit. [*19]
Since its passage, the AFL has constantly supported Democratic candidates upon the false promises of repealing the Taft-Hartley Act. [*20] After pouring more than a million dollars into the coffers of the Democratic Party, the Democrats came back with a majority the very next election in 1949, with a significant majority. 263 Democratic Representatives to 171 Republican Representatives and 54 Democratic Senators to 42 Republican Senators. [*21] Even with this significant majority, Congress ignored the pleas of the unions who paid for their campaign funds, and the issue has been forever side-stepped by the Democratic Party, to this very day.
The Republican and Democratic Parties Today
These are three acts are the most significant in American Labor Law: the Norris-LaGuardia Act, the NLRB Act, and the Taft-Hartley Act. There have been other insignificant laws passed, and their role has generally been to clarify, reinforce, or amend sections of these other three laws.
Today, the general opinion is that the Democratic Party is friendly toward labor and that the Republican Party is unfriendly toward labor. [*22] [*23] Today, for instance, the Democratic Party is considered the protector of the unions in Wisconsin, where Republican Party members were trying to remove protections of collective bargaining for state employees. [*24] The Left-leaning Christian Science Monitor wrote, "Wisconsin state Senate Republicans took the extraordinary -- and possibly illegal -- step of rushing a vote that stripped unions of collective bargaining power." [*25]
And wait -- Why not make a general strike against the conditions that would strip unions of their rights? Well, the Democratic Party technically made that illegal, by overriding Truman's veto in 1947. What about a boycott of the goods from those who state industries that are using scab labor? That, too, was also made illegal by laws passed by the Democratic Party. Secondary picketing, strikes against union bosses, strikes against company-sponsored unions, all of these have been prohibited by the Democratic Party. Yet, today, every single news agency is painting them up as a defender of labor.
The most important legal rights workers have today in the United States were granted to us from a Republican-dominated Congress. The worst restrictions imposed upon us were passed by a Democratic-minority against a presidential veto. In fact, the unions wouldn't have to resort to asking their legislatures for this right or that right, if they had the power themselves to resist the state's unlawful aggressions. If sympathy strikes and hot cargo agreements were not outlawed, the union could do for itself what the Democratic Party would never dream of doing for it.
As far as the jockying around of "bargaining rights" for "state-workers only," it is like the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 -- the Democrats aren't guaranteeing rights for every worker, but just those workers whose unions happen to donate to the party! Are the Democrats of Wisconsin fighting for the right of sympathy strikes among agricultural workers, an absolute essential to getting unions into this otherwise non-union group? No, they're not. Are they fighting for workers who are exploited into state minimum wage rates as low as $2.33? [*26] No, they're fighting for useless professors and bigoted teachers whose salaries are at least ten times that, and only for those middle-class workers.
At best, the Democratic Party was fighting over a few measly crumbs, symbolic enough to make them look like a pro-labor party. Yet, they only have a history of passing the most anti-union legislation in the country.
The history of American Labor Law demonstrates how governments everywhere are easily corrupted, controlled, and dominated by Capitalist interests. It shows how party politics, like any other form of coercion and violence, is based on exclusion and force -- it establishes itself on deceit and grows through oppression. But like any problem, it leads us to solutions. Labor organizers, those who genuinely want to create a solidarity throughout the entire working class, must know that their enemy is the political party, in whatever form it may take. Political parties that appear to support the worker are only good at appearances.

The fight to find true love continues.
Following its emotional and explosive hit first season, E!'s roller coaster of passion, Famously Single, is returning for a sophomore season with an (almost) entirely new batch of celebrities who are each struggling in the romance department.
The upcoming cast will include Kardashian BFF Malika Haqq, Dancing With the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff, The Bachelerotte bad boy Chad Johnson, Jersey Shore veteran Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, fitness model David Mcintosh, reality star Tiffany Pollard, #RichKids of Beverly Hills star Dorothy Wang and British personality Calum Best, who's returning for his second round.
Just like before, the celebs will move into a downtown L.A. loft and work with relationship expert Dr. Darcy Sterling to get to the bottom of their individual issues with dating to hopefully change their negative patterns. Dr. Darcy and her team of coaches will put the stars through a series of exercises and challenges that will push their limits and take them outside of their comfort zone.
Last season, Aubrey O'Day and Pauly D ignited a spark during the process and fell head over heels, while their fellow cast members opened up and learned how to form successful relationships.

Hey guys,
I can't figure out how to install multiple car mods in one time. It is a file with like 30maps in it and a total size of 1.2gb. These 30maps are titled as car brands. In these maps are like 5 car rar. files.
Now i know you can install mods by using SAMI, but then i have to install every car by hand.
So my question is, how can i make this easyer? I really dont want to manually click for like 100/150 cars

Date: Thursday, January 19th, 2012, 08:57
Category: iOS, News, Software
As Apple's Guggenheim-based education event continues, the company kicked off its announcements with iBooks 2.0, which will bring a new textbook experience to the iPad. Per The Unofficial Apple Weblog, these textbooks will include standard text interspersed with interactive high-quality images, videos, animations and 3D models.
This content will allow for features such as being able to pinch to zoom on images, tap on a word and read the glossary entry to find out what they are looking at. It will also include "My Notes" which will let you easily create study cards from a section of the textbook.
The first textbooks made available will be biology and high school science titles from Pearson, McGraw Hill and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. These publishers make up 90 percent of the textbook market. DK Publishing will also launch with several interactive titles for children. Pricing is amazingly competitive with high school textbooks costing US$14.99 or less.
The new iBooks 2.0 app just launched and is available for free over on the iTunes App Store.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

The thermal expansion coefficient of gamma irradiated polyoxymethylene has been measured in the temperature range 80–340 K by using a three terminal capacitance technique. The radiation induced changes are measured by recording the i.r. spectra of the irradiated samples. The change in crystallinity caused by irradiation is measured by an X-ray technique. The thermal expansion coefficient increases with radiation dose below 170 K due to the predominant effect of degradation. Above 170 K, this trend reverses and the expansion coefficient decreases with radiation dose due to the increased crystallinity caused by irradiation.

I suppose I take some time to stop in and say "Hello", pop up a recipe that I've had sitting in draft stages for a few weeks, ask you how you've been? I just realized I haven't posted anything for a long time. I was starting to worry if I had disappeared again, but…no….I don't remember doing that. Hmm I can't say why it's been so long. I suppose life just tends to get away from us sometimes.
Consciously, my efforts have been focused on not working too much. I promised I wouldn't and, other than getting in my car each afternoon and doing a loop around the cul-de-sac to ceremoniously symbolize leaving work to go home, I have been quitting at a reasonable hour. Epiphany's don't bestow themselves on me very often but I did have one recently. I was sitting at my desk in my home office and noticed the clock said 4:30pm. Looking at all the work left to do, or more noticing what I hadn't accomplished that day, a thought occurred to me; "If I worked at an office, I would get up from my desk, get in my car and go home, regardless of the work left to do."
So if I would do it in an office, why couldn't I do it working at home?
Yes see, A-HA!!
Sadly I've cooked some wonderful dishes this past month and didn't take photos or write down the recipes. What was I thinking??
This one I did however. I borrowed the base recipe from Emeril and just tossed in this and that. It turned out absolutely wonderful and was so light and fresh. I used balsamic capers which I have deemed the next "perfect food". Granted I have no scientific evidence to support that claim but they're so delicious one is not needed. Taste trumps science…most of the time…maybe not all the time…or perhaps some of the time. (thinking GMO's here and taste would never trump that…or McIcky's…ok ok not most of the time) In this instance it does.
Some personal touches I added were the artichokes, wine and fresh tomatoes as opposed to canned; although canned are perfectly fine.
The obligatory pat of butter and a fantastic sauce was born to top the whole thing. The best part about this dish, it took 25 minutes from start to finish.
You want quick, delicious and easy…this is it.
So how have YOU been? Anything new?
Love Tara!

-----Original Message----- From: Dane Trethowan
Sent: Monday, May 01, 2017 10:24 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Victor Reader Stream 2nd Generation Hi! I just bought one of these units and would like to make comment on my purchase. Firstly I think that the unit does a brilliant job for what it is in most respects. The sound from the internal speaker is a little muffled however - having already heard a VR Stream - I was already prepared for this, a bit of an annoyance one might say so to overcome this I use a small BUniden hand-held amplified battery speaker I've had for years, cost me $25 about 7 years ago, pity the Stream doesn't have Bluetooth but I guess a product can't have everythint. Now I don't know whether this is my unit in particular but I have noticed that the downloading of data seems to be incredibly slow compared to other devices I have on my network, I used the "Check for Updates" function and - according to that - the firmware is up to date, well at least the data does get downloaded I guess. There's a hell of a lot of functionality packed into the VR Stream box and a lot of this - such as the Internet Radio, podcasts and so forth - I won't bother using - given I already have better solutions for that sort of thing - but for those who don't the VR Stream provides a great entry level to the world of Internet Radio and Podcasting. Getting online with the Vision Australia library was a snap so I downlaoded a couple of books. Again, I have other Apps and so forth which I prefer to use myself but the Stream is convenient for reading, no doubt about that even though I read all my newspapers these days straight from the web site its good to know I have a reliable backup. -- **********"Live each day as if you were goiing to die tomorrow, learn each day as if you were going to live forever"

We know that Karl Lagerfeld is an ace designer. But I did not know that he was also a photographer! Well if you want to see hi photography then you should head over to Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris. The exhibition will go on from September 10 to October 15 2010. Apparently he really is a serious photographer since he shoots all of the Chanel ad campaigns and has even authored several photographic books, his latest one being The Beauty Of Violence.
This book contains intimate portraits of his muse Baptiste Giabiconi. Another one is called Metamorphoses of an American, and has male model Brad Kroenig at the helm. Karl Lagerfeld also is in charge of 7L, a photography bookshop in Paris situated beneath his photography studio. The bookshop has a range of rare and vintage books, photography tomes and edgy magazines that reflect the designer's passions.
Ok I think I really need to check out about this famous designer cause my info on him seems pretty sad. But considering that the man has creativity oozing out of him, it is not surprising that he ventured into arts associated with his field. I would definitely love to have a look at what he has captured.

For Healy, Movie-Making Is Child's Play
Disney executive has a way of finding longform programs that score with kids
Disney executive has a way of finding longform programs that score with kids
With runaway hit movies Camp Rock and the High School Musical series to his credit, Disney Channel's Senior VP of Original Movies Michael Healy is at the top of his game programming telepics for kids and tweens.
Of course, those are the brightest lights, but in 11 years at Disney, Healy has shepherded more than 75 movies. Each one qualifies as a success, Healy says, if it connects with Disney's audience.
"We try to make movies that will not only entertain kids but speak to their lives," he says. "They are fables of identity. If kids dig it, they will watch it again and again."
Healy's track record is widely respected within the Disney family. "Michael's greatest accomplishment is the creation of the Disney Channel Original Movie brand," says Gary Marsh, president of entertainment for Disney Channels Worldwide. "To kids and families around the globe, it represents the pinnacle of family filmmaking."
Some of Healy's own favorites, in fact, are not the network's best-known. For example, he is proud of the network's acclaimed Color of Friendship, about a white South African girl who in 1976 goes to live with a black politician and his family in Washington, D.C.; the movie won an Emmy Award. "There were grounds for a good sitcom with a lot of meaning underneath, and it was a way of approaching a tough subject—apartheid—in a way kids could relate to," he explains.
Healy is equally proud of last year's Minutemen, about three misfits who travel back in time to smooth over unpleasant situations for other picked-on kids, like getting better clothes for a boy who is teased by peers for the way he dresses. "We did a movie about bullying without preaching or being violent," Healy says. It wasn't a huge ratings grabber, but the movie repeats very well, helping amortize costs and grossing a larger audience, he adds.
Social and emotional themes are the backbone of most TV movies. In three decades in the TV-movie business, Healy has developed a knack for striking a chord with audiences.
As a student at Buffalo's Canisius College, Healy was attracted more to theatricals, working at a local art-house theater. After earning a master's of arts from Harvard University, he returned to Buffalo, his hometown, to work as a film critic for the Courier-Express. He also tried his hand at screenplays and movie-making, producing a small independent movie, Vamping, about a struggling jazz musician in Buffalo starring former Dallas heartthrob Patrick Duffy.
Healy continued on in newspapers, as a film critic for The Denver Post and later The Daily News of Los Angeles. In California, he reconnected with an old friend, Gregg Maday, who was running Warner Bros. Television's made-for-TV movie division and convinced Healy to try television.
Healy joined Warner Bros. in 1988 as the director of development for movies for television and miniseries, pitching projects to broadcast and cable networks. It was the heyday of TV movies, when CBS was airing 100 films per year and NBC ran about 50 movies and miniseries. Among Healy's favorite projects was the film Heart of Darkness, which he sold to HBO, and adaptations of several Dean Koontz thrillers.
While Healy didn't fit the audience profile for TV movies—typically older, female viewers—he says he quickly learned the ingredients for a good movie: "You needed a concept that was good enough to keep people enthralled for 90 minutes and the right casting. It couldn't be too out there or too scary....These were TV comfort food."
In 1992, Healy moved on to CBS as director of movies for television. After several years selling to the networks, he relished being a buyer. CBS was a top destination for TV movies, and Healy had his pick of good projects.
Over time, however, TV movies were slowly edged out on network schedules as drama series gained popularity. Series like Law & Order and CSI burst on the scene, with riveting storylines and attractive casts that came back weekly.
"With TV movies, you have to let everyone know about it and when it will be on, or you're cooked," Healy explains. "You don't get a second chance. With a series, you get to come back week after week and you can build on your success."
In 1997, Marsh approached Healy to head up Disney's fledgling movie unit. Disney aspired to produce about a dozen movies per year and Healy, whose two children were elementary-school age at the time, was attracted to the opportunity to craft telepics for a younger audience.
"There was almost nothing out there for kids about kids' issues with kids in the leads," he says. "We wanted movies that weren't just good for you but entertaining."
In the years since, Healy has built a portfolio of hits, including a few blockbusters such as High School Musical. "That is the kind of hit that comes along once in your life, if you're lucky," he says. "No one dreamed it would be this big."
"After 75 [Disney Channel] movies, the greatest challenge for Michael and his team is to re-imagine the storytelling process," Marsh says. After musicals such as High School Musical, its sequel High School Musical 2 and Camp Rock hit big, he adds, "Michael's challenge is to find that next big breakthrough idea."
That is a tall order with Disney's fickle young demographic. Kids' and tweens' tastes seem to change by the minute, and new technology constantly threatens to lure them away from the TV.
Healy says his team stays fresh by finding writers and producers who understand kids' issues and speak to them authentically. And, of course, casting attractive young stars doesn't hurt either. "Finding the kids' voices that they can relate to is what we depend on picture after picture," he says.
His boss is confident Healy will accomplish that goal. As Marsh puts it: "Michael is quite simply one of the most brilliant storytellers I've ever worked with."

Status Report: I-81 Studies
VDOT initiated the I-81 studies to determine the best roadway-widening and improvement options needed to ease traffic flow along the Virginia section of I-81. Seven consulting firms are conducting 10 separate studies. Each study includes land surveys, environmental and historical studies, and traffic analyses.
Two citizen information meetings will be held in each study area to discuss improvement options. Meeting time frames listed are estimates. To find out more specific meeting information:
Studies and projects from Bristol to Roanoke, map and descriptions
Studies and projects from Roanoke to Winchester, map and descriptions
I-81 - #9 Shenandoah County Second Meeting:
September 10, 1998 from 4 - 7 p.m.
I-81 improvements estimated timeline
1997 -- All 10 widening studies under way
1997-98 -- Two citizen information meetings held in each study area
mid-1998 -- Widening construction begins in Bristol area;
late 1998 -- All studies completed; best widening options selected
early 1999 -- Study results reviewed by Commonwealth Transportation Board;
1999-2020 -- Ongoing construction
New Era of Construction Begins
Two construction projects along Interstate 81 are under way in two urban areas: Bristol and Christiansburg. Although these two construction projects were not part of the current I-81 widening studies, they demonstrate the need to upgrade the interstate to accommodate growth and increasing traffic.
In the Bristol area, I-81 is being widened from four to six lanes between Exit 74 in Tennessee to just north of Exit 7 in Virginia. As part of the $69 million construction project, the Gate City Highway interchange at Exit 1 will be reconstructed, and the Route 11 (Lee Highway) interchange at Exit 5 will be modified.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held April 8 in Bristol to commemorate the new era of construction on I-81. Local officials and members of Virginia's Commonwealth Transportation Board planted a dogwood, the state tree, at Virginia's Welcome Center near the Virginia-Tennessee border to signify the start of the first major construction projects on the more than 30-year-old interstate.
In the Christiansburg area, work began in March on a $62.5 million project to build a new I-81 interchange at Falling Branch. The interchange will extend the Route 460 Christiansburg Bypass to I-81 and open land just east of the interstate to economic development. Montgomery County plans a new industrial park in this area. The project also includes widening I-81 to six lanes near Exit 118 and adding collector-distributor lanes parallel to the interstate for smoother traffic flow.
Both projects are expected to be completed in fall 2000.

Study Reveals Truck Driver Concerns
Because of the increasing volume of large truck traffic on I-81, VDOT conducted a study to identify truck drivers' concerns. More than 1,300 drivers were interviewed at commercial truck stops and rest areas along I-81 throughout Virginia. Here are some of the study's findings:
Of the 20,000 to 50,000 vehicles per day that travel I-81, somewhere between 19% and 40% are trucks, depending on the segment. The 30-year-old I-81 was designed to accommodate only 15% truck traffic. Truck traffic is expected to continue growing as businesses increase their reliance upon trucks to transport goods.
The majority of truck traffic enters and leaves I-81 at I-40 in Tennessee and at I-77 in Fort Chiswell. Household goods, general freight, food and construction materials are among the most frequent types of cargo transported by trucks on I-81.
Truck drivers indicated that the top four most difficult interchanges to navigate are Exit 150 at Route 220 in Troutville, Exit 72 at I-77 North in Wytheville, Exit 80 at I-77 South in Fort Chiswell, and Exit 243 at Route 11 in Harrisonburg. These four interchanges have tight curves.
Seventy-four percent of truck drivers interviewed in the study felt additional parking is needed along I-81. Most notably, additional parking was most requested at Exit 150 (Troutville) and Exit 205 (Raphine). The majority of truck drivers felt that additional rest areas were most needed between Roanoke and Staunton.

At The Movies With Angry Gorilla
Once again, I found myself hanging around at home with my bunny pal, Edgar Esther Constabulary, snacking on various fruits, drinking copious amounts of whiskey, and needing to watch a film with Christopher Walken in it. (I have always loved him, mainly because we have similar indomitable fur issues.) I was fortunate enough to run across the delightfully gross cult classic, The Sentinel, from 1977, and as if the primate gods were smiling rather than hurling poop from above, it even has a touch of Jeff Goldblum in it. (I love him too, but for different reasons that you would not understand. I was young and I needed the money.)
The Sentinel stars Cristina Raines, who plays a young, tall, thin, gorgeous model and Chris Sarandon, who plays a lawyer who is boning the young, leggy, beautiful model, Cristina, but who was married to a woman who jumped off of a bridge and fell to her death, specifically because her husband was boning a young, ravishing, statuesque model with lovely porcelain like skin. Sarandon and Raines are living together as lawyer and model, but Raines decides she wants to get a place of her own, so her realtor, played by the legendary, Ava Garner, shows her a super terrifying, old, huge, suspiciously under priced house/building place with a scary looking blind priest who lives on the top floor and just stares out his window all day at nothing in particular because he cannot see. Obviously, she takes the place.
Promptly after moving in, Raines starts to meet her neighbors, who other than the aggressive public masturbation displays during tea time and cat surprise parties where they say, "black and white cat, black and white cake" repeatedly, seem pretty normal to her, apparently warranting no need for excessive concern on her part just yet. Once Raines does get that subtle twinge of say, maybe stuff is a little crazy fucked around here, things start to escalate pretty quickly. Let's just say, if you like old naked men and lesbians who point and laugh a bunch and Beverly D'Angelo's boobs, but you are not terribly attached to parakeets and cats and human faces looking like what you have grown somewhat accustom to them looking like, you won't be disappointed.
When Gaines' new living situation finally gets problematic enough for her (like the fact that all of her neighbors, with whom she has danced, dined, and celebrated cats, turn out to actually be dead murderers of themselves and others), she starts spending more time at her lawyer boyfriend's place and expressing to him and a couple of detectives, one of whom is played by Christopher Walken (at last), all of the unpleasant bizarre crap she has been through in her new charming home (of Satan). Sarandon mistrusts his girl's stories at first, but after doing some researchy lawyer stuff at the library, he discovers some pretty freaky shit is about to go down in Gaine's new home that may or may not be the passage way to the gates of hell and the living quarters of a bunch of not particularly attractive dead people and one gross blind priest.
Sarandon asks a friend to stay with Gaines while he goes to Satan's house to try to fix everything, expressing his concern to the friend for Gaines' safety and even her life, but the friend is throwing a party that night and has all of the little cakes and hats already so it cannot be canceled to shut down the gates of hell. Luckily, thinking fast, Sarandon helpfully suggests, "Let her come to your party, she'll love it." Against all odds, Gaines does not love the party because she feels like she might die and/or be perennially tortured; she decides to go and find her lawyer boyfriend at the awful terrible building to feel better.
The last bit of this film gets exceptionally nuts with no shortage of dead people, all suggesting that they go to hell and be together where everyone is really deformed and suicidal, dead lesbians eat parakeets and cats and your boyfriend's face. Don't worry, it all works out in the end pretty much, except that every living soul who enters the evil house building is eternally doomed and the abominable, and the murderers, and the whoremongers, and the sorcerers, and the idolaters, and the liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Well, good night.
I give this film one angry thumb up because my only complaint is that it did not have enough Christopher Walken and not nearly enough Jeff Goldblum and I am all out of whiskey and I just swallowed my gum.

Cereal is usually recommended as a baby's first food around 4 to 6 months of age. Rice cereal is well tolerated because it lacks gluten and isn't very likely to cause an allergic reaction. Oatmeal and barley are other popular options that follow soon after solids are started between 4 and 6 months. But when is it safe to give a baby wheat? It's important to note that while wheat is on the big 8 list of food allergies, it tends to affect adults more than young children.

An interesting finding regards a somewhat increased risk of wheat allergy if grains are introduced after 6 months. The study, published in Pediatrics concluded, "Delaying exposure until after 6 months was associated with an increased risk of wheat allergy, not a protective effect. In addition, these findings confirm the role of family history of allergy as a predictor of food allergy outcomes in children. Our results support continuing the current recommendations of first introducing cereal products between 4 and 6 months of age." So, give rice and oatmeal a try between 4 and 6 months and add mixed cereals containing wheat after those are well tolerated.

If You Have Allergies in the Family

Consult your health care provider to be sure. But again, don't delay the introduction of grains altogether, as the study mentioned above was related to wheat allergy but was not specifically related to introducing only wheat between 4 and 6 months. The grains introduced could have been wheat, barley, rye or oats. Of those, the safest to introduce to a child with a family history of allergies would be oats at 6 months, which is when health care providers recommend children with a history of allergies start solids.

Some items to be aware of that contain wheat include most cereals labeled "Mixed Grains." Gerber's Mixed Grains list wheat flour as the first ingredient, for example. Also be aware that teething biscuits and zwieback toasts often contain wheat and pasta is often made from wheat. The FDA requires that food labels state when foods contain wheat, so read those carefully.

Whether or not you have a history of allergies, the first time you introduce wheat, be sure to watch for the signs of an allergic reaction (hives, difficulty breathing or asthma symptoms, swelling of the mouth or throat, vomiting or diarrhea and loss of consciousness), know how to respond and be ready to call 9-1-1 immediately.

It May Not Be Wheat Allergy, but Gluten Intolerance or Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is a condition where eating foods containing gluten causes the immune system to react and attack the stomach lining, sometimes causing permanent damage. Celiac disease can appear in infancy and may appear as early as the first time a child is fed a food containing gluten. According to our Celiac Disease site, "In the classic form of celiac disease, patients have severe chronic diarrhea with voluminous stools that float in the water, and weight loss to the point of wasting. This form is very common in infants and young children with celiac disease, who tend to develop bowel symptoms and growth problems shortly after they begin to eat gluten-containing cereals. In fact, it was once thought (incorrectly) that celiac disease occurred only in children, and that in most cases the children could outgrow it."

In addition, some evidence is emerging that suggests the early (before 4 months) introduction of foods containing gluten may actually increase the risk of celiac disease. Mothers who are currently breastfeeding can possibly minimize the risk by introducing wheat or barley cereal no earlier than 4 months and no later than 6 months. This is especially true for children who are already at risk of developing celiac disease. If you see symptoms like diarrhea, poor appetite, slow growth and chronic stomach pain, talk to your health care provider and stop giving your child foods containing wheat, barley, and rye. Fall back on rice, which is gluten-free, and oatmeal, which is generally considered safe, though there may be cross-contamination issues in facilities that also produce foods with wheat.

NYEC History
About NYEC Home | Core Business | Members List | Contributing Members | Board of Directors | Staff | History | Employment Opportunities | Contact Us
This article is largely adapted from a history of NYEC prepared in 2000 by Alan Zuckerman, a former Executive Director of NYEC, former board member, and active member of NYEC since its inception.
In 1979, the National Youth Advocacy Coalition (NYEC's original name) was organized by OIC of America and the National Child Labor Committee. The Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) had been amended in 1978 to include the Youth Employment Demonstration Projects Act (YEDPA) and the U.S. Department of Labor created a Youth Office in the Manpower Administration. In 1979, federal funding for youth employment programs peaked at approximately $15 Billion in 2003 dollars.
Vice-President Walter Mondale chaired a Task Force on Youth Employment that was charged with developing youth employment legislation based on the experience and research funded under YEDPA. The proposed legislation was comprehensive and would have established a system for preparing youth for employment, with a focus on the needs of low-income youth. NYAC was organized and led by national community-based organizations to support the development of the new legislation and to ensure that community-based approaches were an integral part of the delivery system. NYAC adopted these principles at its inception:
Everyone who wants to work should have the opportunity to do so.
Too many youth are out of the economy with little hope and few skills.
Youth employment services must be targeted to those that most need help.
Established organizations cannot adequately serve all youth.
A national youth policy must establish a long-term commitment to serving youth.
Initial funding for the Coalition was provided by the U.S. Department of Labor. This funding enabled the Coalition to expand its membership, engage in dialogue with practitioners and policy makers, and advocate for the needs of unemployed youth. The founding members of the Coalition were predominantly national community based organizations and national youth organizations. The Coalition was housed in the office of the National Child Labor Committee in New York City.
In its early years, the Coalition's membership broadened to include research organizations, such as the MDRC and Public/Private Ventures, and public interest groups, such as National Association of Counties and the U.S. Conference of Mayors. In addition, a number of New York City youth programs joined the Coalition, including local affiliates of national CBO members and local youth serving organizations. During this period, NYAC conducted its business and built its network of youth programs through quarterly membership meetings. Most of the members at this time were located along Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, between Boston and Washington. During these meetings, future activities were planned and roundtable discussions were conducted that focused on current youth policies and programs. The roundtables brought practitioners, researchers, and policymakers together to share information about youth programs, practices and policies.
In 1981, the newly-elected President and his Secretary of Labor vowed to eliminate CETA. In 1982, the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) replaced CETA, with bipartisan support in Congress. Under JTPA, employment and training programs were more narrowly focused on job placement and meeting the needs of employers. Lower costs and high placement rates were mandated, hence work experience (except for the Summer Youth Employment Program) and long-term services were reduced significantly. Performance contracting came into vogue and most programs served people who could easily be employed. Services to high-risk youth were exceptions, despite legislative goals to serve those most in need.
The immediate impact was for NYAC to change its name to NYEC: the National Youth Employment Coalition. The word, "Advocacy" was determined to be too political and confrontational in the political environment of this period. Nevertheless, the Coalition's focus on advocacy was not diminished. During this period, NYEC received its first grant from the Ford Foundation to determine JTPA's impact on young people and community-based organizations. The conclusion of the study was that JTPA steered less funding to community-based organizations and fewer services were being provided to out-of-school, Black and Hispanic youth.
In the mid-1980s, NYEC was funded by the U.S. Department of Labor to develop local youth employment coalitions. NYEC's local coalition building efforts continued for more than ten years. Active coalitions were established in New York, Boston, Utah, Phoenix, and San Francisco. The effort increased the number of NYEC members, established links to youth programs all over the United States, and enabled NYEC to emerge as a national force.
In the late 1980's, NYEC established a clearinghouse under a grant from the Donner Foundation. Under this project, NYEC gathered and catalogued materials, reports, research and program descriptions that focused on services, policies and research designed to prepare youth for employment. Unfortunately, NYEC was unable to sustain the clearinghouse after the two-year grant ended.
The early 1990's were a time of crisis for NYEC, triggered by the lost of funding for the clearinghouse. To respond to the crisis, NYEC's convened it first member retreat in Boston in 1993 where the Executive Committee and membership set priorities and reestablished NYEC's mission and purpose. By this time, NYEC's membership had grown to approximately 50 organizations. The priorities set at the first retreat set the direction for the decade. The development of a framework for identifying best practices eventually grew into PEPNet and the need to develop a new generation of employment and training professionals evolved over time into the New Leaders Academy. NYEC moved from New York to Washington, DC later in 1993, where it was offered rent-free space by the W.T. Grant Foundation's Commission on Work, Families and Citizenship.
In 1993, the national JTPA evaluation commissioned by the U.S. Department of Labor was released. The study found that out-of-school males who participated in JTPA youth employment programs did not benefit significantly, as measured by employment rates and earnings. This study was used to justify a massive cut (80%) to the JTPA year-round youth employment program. In response, NYEC convened its members and prepared a statement with recommendations of ways to improve the services to young people. In its 1994 Report to the Secretary of Labor, NYEC recommended that rather than cut funds in a period of high unemployment, what was needed was the development of standards and improved practices to assure that youth programs had an impact on the lives of young people. NYEC urged the creation of policies to identify those youth employment programs that were making an impact on the lives of youth and use their experience to improve other youth employment programs.
In 1995, NYEC launched the Promising and Effective Practices Network (PEPNet), largely in response to the assumption that "nothing works" and the drastic cut in federal funding for youth employment and training programs. In 1998, NYEC launched the New Leaders Academy to identify and prepare the next generation of leaders of the field. Also in 1998, NYEC and the American Youth Policy Forum jointly purchased a building in Washington, DC.
Recently, NYEC's work and impact have expanded significantly. NYEC has: developed a self-assessment tool for education programs and schools serving vulnerable youth; launched a project-based learning opportunity for young people focused on institutional racism; developed and tested a measurement instrument that reflects developmental enhancements that result from youth employment programs; strengthened the linkages between the workforce development and juvenile justice field; served as part of national collaborative designed to equip state and local workforce development systems to better serve youth with disabilities; and provided capacity building opportunities for the leadership of local workforce investment boards. NYEC embarked on an effort to bring the lessons of PEPNet to developing nations across the globe. NYEC has also intensified its policy and advocacy efforts and improved services to members. In 2002, NYEC was selected as "One of America's 100 Best Charities" by Worth Magazine.
In the past decade, with the growth of PEPNet, the implementation of the New Leaders Academy, the development of a three-year plan, and the advent of the Workforce Investment Act, NYEC has grown steadily and significantly from just over 100 members in 1997 to over 250 members representing 41 states today.
Over the years, NYEC has emerged as a major player in the development of youth workforce development policy and the improvement of youth workforce development and youth development practices. Today, foundations; state, local, and federal agencies; national and international youth organizations; and local and national media outlets regularly consult NYEC. Congressional staff seek-out NYEC for its policy and program expertise. NYEC makes numerous presentations at meetings of youth employment, workforce development, and youth development professional associations. Foreign visitors interested in American youth policy and practice visit NYEC and its member agencies.
NYEC is commited to improving the effectiveness of organizations that help youth become productive citizens. Toward this end, NYEC:
- Tracks, crafts, and influences policy;
- Sets and promotes quality standards;
- Provides and supports professional development; and
- Builds and increases the capacity of organizations and programs.

Hyouka - Episode 4 Discussion / Poll
Welcome to the discussion thread for Hyouka, Episode 4.
Thread Guidelines
I really do wonder where does kyoani get the budget for their shows, because the animation in Hyouka looks movie quality even in its 4th episode, that's completely insane for anime standards. Moving on to the episode itself, it was pretty nice, what grabbed my attention was Satoshi because i'm getting the feeling that his cheerful personality is basically an act and that he's a much deeper character than we all think he is.
I really like the "historic" quality of this mystery, it is instances like these that highlight the power of reason, to transcend historic forces and influences and re-create the past, I seriously hope future mysteries carry such interpretation-based elements.
Furthermore, a whole episode of dialog does not bother me one bit, because at this stage of reasoning, the fun is not in being hit over the head with dramatic twists, instead, interest lies in what new data is found and how it is interpreted.
As for what really happened, I think the "sacrifice" mentioned is not referring to Sekitani, but to someone else. I also believe, like some mentioned, that person died. If they were on the teachers side, the conflict would've escalated against the students favor, so I reckon it was on the students side which led to the school relenting.
The hyouka volume 2 cover depicts a wolf(?) eating a rabbit as other like rabbits are watching all around (sorry, forgot to screeshot), what remains is how Sekitani relates to the "sacrifice". Now, a common theme of historic distortion relates generation of myths and legends, in this case the great hero Sekitani, to the effects of mass desire and appeal. The non-violent hero is mentioned in outlets of student public opinion, but that is the "epic" subtly denied by the hyouka foreword writer, meaning only a few knew of the sacrifice, or the masses justified it for the cause.
Now, on the level of literary guessing, maybe Sekitani was not expelled but left on his own, only attending the Kan'ya to honour the sacrifice and "left us" being unable to get over it, or maybe the fifth day of hyouka involved a particular activity that was left out due to the sacrificed person not being there to hold/lead it. Well, past this point we can make up a lot of fan fiction.
By the way, are the texts (not the novel per se, but the documents they discussed) available or archived somewhere online? It is easier than re-watching episodes to go through them again to theorize before the curtain is pulled.
The model site for Eru's home, Kamo Garden, posted a nice statement on their Facebook wall yesterday.
Edit: Here is a page set up to show off the manor.
Maybe that's where KyoAni gets their money from... the Japanese Tourism Board. :heh:
Who knows. :)
Considering how Nichijou was a complete and total failure, I'm surprised they still managed to get enough budget for this...
Oh well, I think I'll rewatch this episode later. It's pretty interesting, and I think I may get something new out of it by doing so.
^ Well, I doubt KyoAni can live off K-ON forever.
Is it a proven fact that they get way more budget than other studio? I ask because it seems to me that it's not so much about the number of people (which proportional to money) but the time and careful planning on their part. It does not seems to me like Hyouka looks good because there are a lot of frames, but the attention to details they put into it, which having more staff (i.e. paid more money) can actually have a negative effect.
things keep improving every episode, but nothing great yet, but still i think this got good potential, the scene of the uncle beign chased reminded me in a lot of ways to a part of zetsubou sensei first op.

Ok well I only thought I had Facebook working. Now I think I actually do. If you use Facebook go to our page and give us a like!
Monthly Archives: March 2012
Facebook & Ads
Our Facebook page has been updated to reflect the new site as well. Surprisingly that was easier than I expected. I'm sure our handful of Facebook followers will notice the new name show up in their timeline and wonder, "What in the world is this?" Well, now you know.
Right now I don't have the advertisements fixed. There's no easy way to do that so I'm going to have to re-create each ad feed manually. This is good and bad. Good in that I'll be able to clean out the older, non-valid ad feeds and the ones we just don't want showing up here. Bad that it's a manual process and will require a huge amount of my time. Not to mention that I have to change over all of my affiliate accounts and the like to reflect the new name and website. Ugh.
Links fixed (somewhat) & Twitter…
I've fixed the links displays meaning that now all of our links to other sites are working. What I haven't done is gone through each of those links to verify that they are valid. That is on the list.
Our new Twitter account is now connected and works both ways. Make sure you follow us on Twitter using the twitter button above.
Contact form fixed…
Ok, that was a lot harder than it should have been but of course had a quite simple solution. Go figure. Anyway, the Contact form now works so you can reach out and smack us if you like. 🙂
Things Change…
The following is a post that I posted on our old site: Six at Sea to help point folks here.
Things Change…
by Matt on March 11, 2012| Posted in Blog | Tags:
I'm sure you have already noticed that it has been quite a while since our last post. (I'm the master of the obvious.) There is good reason for this. Some I can share and some I would rather not. Let's just say that while we have not abandoned our dream/goal entirely…the dynamic of the whole thing has changed. Considerably one might say. As such we felt that we needed to make a change to our "brand". Over the next few weeks we will be converting to our new "brand" which will include updates to our Facebook page, Twitter account, Flickr accounts, etc….everything…including a new website. Some times these things are easy (I say this being fairly technically savvy) and sometimes not so much. It's not that this is truly difficult, it's just that there are quite a few components that need to be changed and adjusted to reflect our new home on the web:
In the interim, feel free to visit the new website (not completely finished) and if you do get a wild hair shoot us an email via the "Contact" tab above. (Sorry, that part is not working yet on the new site.)
As things progress and I get components updated/converted/etc. I'll make sure to post the updates here. Keep in mind that I will no longer be making posts at the old site other that to make a final "We've Moved" post once everything is migrated. One of the first things I need to fix here is the "Contact" tab so that you, are faithful readers, can reach out and smack us for leaving you in the dark for so long.

From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser at the Coliseum
Outfielder Jonny Gomes and left-hander Jon Lester strode into the A's clubhouse this afternoon carrying Red Sox equipment bags and to the sounds of a John Phillip Sousa march that an alert Oakland player sneaked onto the stereo system.
"Obviously, going from a team that hasn't done so well this year to a team with the best record in baseball is pretty exciting," said Lester, who will start tomorrow's game against the Royals.
And yes, Lester saw this morning that the A's are giving away Yoenis Cespedes jerseys the day of his first start for them. Cespedes was traded to Boston for Lester and Gomes on Thursday. "Kind of ironic," Lester said with a smile.
Gomes, of course, already knows just about everyone here – he was the ringleader of the 2012 team, immensely popular, and there were ear-to-ear grins when he walked in. He's from Petaluma, an A's fan as a kid. "I went from A's pajamas to an A's uniform in about 22 years," he said today.
Losing Gomes after the 2012 season, manager Bob Melvin said, "Was a blow for us – as is Ces leaving. Bringing Jonny back on top of that makes this trade a little bit more palatable, to have that kind of clubhouse presence again for a lot of these guys he meant a lot to."
Gomes called the 2012 season with Oakland "magical," and he said he has kept a close eye on the A's players he was so close to.
"I put a lot of work into the young guys," he said. "Physically, mentally. I felt like a proud father watching these guys take off, six A's in the All-Star Game this year was pretty cool."
Sam Fuld also rejoined the A's today. The outfielder, who played for Oakland in April, was acquired from the Twins on Thursday in exchange for left-hander Tommy Milone. The Twins were in Kansas City, and Fuld's family was there with him, so Fuld and his wife and three kids piled into a rented SUV, drove back to Minneapolis (six hours) and Fuld flew to Oakland this morning.
Gomes and Stephen Vogt will platoon in the lineup, Gomes in against left-handers and Vogt against right-handers, but Gomes will be in left and, for now, Vogt will be at first base because of his foot injury, a bone bruise that has slowed him a bit. Brandon Moss will be the swing man, playing left when Vogt is at first and first when Gomes is in left.
With Lester, a three-time All-Star and two-time champion, joining the rotation, Jesse Chavez moves into the bullpen, and Chavez – so good the first two months of the season in the rotation – handled the move well.
"I'm not upset, I'm not mad about it, you can't go down there with a bad attitude," said Chavez, who was solid in a long relief role with Oakland last season. "Bad attitude brings bad performance, that's something I've learned, and it's not something I'm going to do. It's not me. And it would be wrong for the team."
Chavez said had it not been for injuries to Jarrod Parker and A.J. Griffin, he wouldn't have been in the rotation, anyway, and he was just trying to hold down a spot well until no longer needed there. Now, he'll concentrate on helping out in long relief, "But with the guys we've got going now (in the rotation), we probably won't need it," he said.
Melvin said that Chavez has done nothing to deserve going to the bullpen, but Jason Hammel remains in the rotation based on the fact that he was faring so well before being traded to Oakland.
"His track record suggested we need to be a little more patient with him," Melvin said. "I think good things are going to come to him, it hasn't to this point, and no one feels worse about it than him. But you don't have a 2.90 ERA and not give a guy a chance to prove himself here. Plus, Chavy is in uncharted territory for him in terms of number of innings, and it probably doesn't hurt to give him a break."
Coco Crisp remains out of action with that ongoing neck injury, but he has had some trigger-point injections that may help alleviate the problem. He is unavailable tonight and is a question mark for the rest of the weekend. With Craig Gentry out with a broken hand for another two or three weeks, Fuld will be in center most games. As I wrote in today's paper, the A's plan to hang onto Fuld when Gentry returns – and into next year, too.
First baseman Kyle Blanks had a setback last week in his comeback from a severe calf strain, but he's on the mend again and taking batting practice. When he is able to run comfortably, he'll go on a rehab assignment. My guess: We might not see him until rosters expand Sept. 1, barring an injury that necessitates an earlier recall.
Here's the lineup, with Fuld leading off: Fuld CF, Jaso C, Donaldson 3B, Moss LF, Lowrie SS, Vogt 1B, Reddick RF, Callaspo DH, Sogard 2B. Sonny Gray is on the mound for Oakland.
The A's designated reliever Evan Scribner to create roster space with all the moves – but Scribner does not come off the 40-man. This is strictly procedural, because he's one of those every-now-and-then fellows with optional waivers (see: Blevins, Jerry).
The team also released reliever Jim Johnson today, as expected.
