As the Toronto Maple Leafs and forward Nazem Kadri work toward a new deal for the upcoming season, it appears it's no longer a matter of term but dollars.
Appearing on 'TSN Drive with Dave Naylor' on TSN Radio 1050 in Toronto on Monday, TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie said Kadri is asking for $7 million over two years while the Maple Leafs are offering $5.7 million over the same timeframe.
Kadri, who had no arbitration rights after completing his entry-level deal in June, was second in team scoring with 44 points in 48 games last season. The Maple Leafs have been at a standstill with Kadri and fellow restricted free agent Cody Franson.
The team has just under $5 million in cap space going into this season.

Adds tons of volume, Dior mascaras are the best. I was a dior show girl before I tried this one, in love.
The worse mascara I've ever tried... and the most expensive. Clumpy and lumpy to the point that If I apply it I have to quickly brush my eyelashes with my cheaper mascara to avoid tragic eyelashes...I would like my money back Dior...
This was $39 CAD. I felt compelled to write this review because I specifically needed a very voluminous mascara that did not transfer between my lid and brows, and it did. I wanted this to work for me as I love the brush and the formula, but within two hours, there was a large black arc of mascara on my brow bone. I use a great deal of mascara at a time, which may contribute to my transfer problem. This may not be an issue if you do not have long lashes, but this was unusable for me.
I was not sure about buying this or the Dior Iconic mascara because I wanted length, volume, curl, drama *surely I am not asking for too much here (grins)* and so I went with the Extase but purchased the Dior Maximizer lash serum/primer with it. Together the two products look fabulous and the actual mascara containers are very nice. They were very expensive but it is Christian Dior and a HE MU brand so I suppose that was to be expected. £23 GBP for the Extase and £23 GBP for the Maximizer. After I applied the Maximizer the Extase gave volume and SERIOUS length BUT I did have some clumping, which was annoying. However, this was nothing that the Tweezerman lash comb could not sort out. A good mascara trick is to wriggle the mascara wand up through the lashes rather than coat it on the lashes, and this can help prevent clumping. I am happy with my purchase and it is a great mascara but the only reason I would not purchase it again is simply because I like to try new cosmetics each time something runs out.

I was wearing this when i met my boyfriend and now he says that the main thing that he remembered was how great my lashes looked :) I like the wet formula.Ive tried a lot of high end masceras and this is mine and my boyfriend's fave.
Bought this twice but I wouldn't buy it again. It gets clumpy and like the YSL faux cils, it gets better as it starts to dry cause then it doesn't clump up. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect mascara!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have straight stubborn Asian eye lashes that certainly need the extra "ompf". Unfortunately, this mascara does not quite do it.
As many Dior mascaras, this one also has a heavy formula. The first time I used it, I noticed that the formula is quite wet as well, making my lashes (after curling) to fall straight down. I stopped using it for a while, and after it dried a bit (all the Dior mascaras I have used seem to dry out quite fast), it is easier to handle.
But, I cannot make the mascara quite work for my advantage. But I think it is more the wand than the formula. I thought it was a shame to let this expensive mascara just dry out without using it. So I started to apply the mascara with an eye lash comb (a tip from gossmakeupartist on YouTube). When I apply it with the eye lash comb, it works quite well. It separates the lashes and I get a noticeable length. It can also build up to create more volume. So for me, the wand does not work at all. It is too big, leaves too much heavy mascara on the lashes and creates clumps.
I will not purchase this again, as it is too much of a hassle to make this mascara work for me. There are also other types of mascaras that work better on my straight and stubborn Asian eye lashes.
This is one of my favorite mascaras. It gives a great volume and lenght, separates lashes, does not stain, does not flake off. Lashes look defined, bright. It could give some little more curve to be the perfect mascara.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really wanted to like this product! I saw it on a friend and looked at it longingly in Sephora for awhile before buying it. After using it awhile....
Meh! It's a decent primer. I don't think it does a whole lot of good. The saleswoman said she put it on at night to condition her lashes. However, I figured at that price I really wasn't looking for an eyelash conditioner, and was looking for a great mascara primer. Maybe it makes my mascara stay on longer? Maybe it makes my lashes a tad more volumized?
I'm certainly not as blown away as I'd hoped to be for the price!
Best mascara ever. I've gone through four already.
Easy to build up to get that dramatic effect, lifts eye lashes and holds the curl, never gives me panda eyes unlike Dior New Look mascara. Doesn't flake even after long time.
I DO think application requires skills, hence the negative reviews.

Should the Federal Reserve System be under the control of our elected officials?
According to the United States Federal Reserve System's Board of Governors, the Federal Reserve System "is considered an independent central bank because its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government, it does not receive funding appropriated by the Congress, and the terms of the members of the Board of Governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms." [Source: http://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/about_14986.htm]
Poll after poll says significant majorities of Americans want to either abolish or open up the U.S. Federal Reserve to public review. [One example: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-09/more-than-half-of-americans-want-fed-reined-in-or-abolished.html.] Since their policy has such a significant impact on all of us (even world wide) , and since the power to control our currency explicitly rests with the Federal Government, you would think Congress could change this if it were not tied up in knots such as it is.
Would anyone - could anyone - argue against putting the Fed under control of our elected officials?

pat gilbert 100+Apr 10 2013: If we are going to have a world wide currency I say lets give Bit coin a try.
Why? because the money is not centralized
It cannot be counterfeited
It cannot be controlled by a single entity because all Bit coins have a history showing all transactions
It cannot be inflated
Cannot be worse than the FED?
Money by definition requires confidence. As Bit coin gains confidence world wide it will usurp the FED
Apr 14 2013: My bet is that the FED & it's cronies will get there first by tagging us all. That would give them the freedom to have their wicked way.
Revelation 13:16-17 (NIV)
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, [17] so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Revelation 16:2 (NIV)
The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
In 2007, it was revealed that nearly identical implants had caused cancer in hundreds of laboratory animals.[1] a revelation that had a devastating impact on the company's stock price.
Maybe not such a good idea after all.
Apr 14 2013: And if they don't get the code implanted, they will simply monitor the RFID tags that are already in so many people's underwear.
Did I say "will"? They are monitoring us through RFID tags. You buy your underwear, your credit card gets associated with your underwear RFID tag, and now you are potentially trackable by the government.
Apr 10 2013: Tell me if I'm being old fashioned, but it seems Bitcoins relies on there being a functional world wide Intranet in order to operate. It gets me thinking, do we really need any form of currency? Would you consider it a good social evolution to get to the point where currency itself is no longer needed?
Apr 10 2013: The computer scientist in me answers your questions:
The Internet as a whole can not be shut down (absent a global catastrophe) because it is distributed. Flash drives could well be passed around - but that is exactly the purpose of the physical Bitcurrency coins that are being produced. However, those ultimately rely on a functioning Internet. If you look at a map of Internet connectivity, it is something like looking at a map of neuron connectivity in the brain. There are a few key "cut points" where you can significantly isolate parts of the Internet - parts of the backbone of the Internet. To continue the neuro analogy, like you might cut the corpus colosum in the human brain as a last ditch effort to help with severe epilepsy. Some countries have implemented xenophobic firewalls which are effective against the masses but not against the knowledgeable or willing few, and key lines could be cut, cutting off millions. And countries that isolate themselves could hack the open source software and present the illusion that the currency is not being hacked even when it is - but that could in theory be ultimately exposed. And then what?
Apr 10 2013: This explains some of it

Former JSU and NFL star, Harold Jackson is headed back to his alma mater. Monday morning he was named the new head football coach for Jackson State University. Jackson, 68-years-old, was a five-time All-Pro wide receiver and also coached for 10-years in the NFL.
Jackson, a Mississippi native, said he was glad to come back home and his priorities would be player development and local recruitment.
"I'm going to put the excitement and product on the field," Jackson said. "Our players will have discipline in the classroom and on the competition level. Our football players will be developed as good citizens."
JSU President Carolyn W. Meyers said Jackson was chosen based on his experience and his commitment to player development and academic achievement for scholar-athletes.

Suit brought against ArmstrongThe Associated Press | February 08,2013USTIN, Texas A Dallas promotions company sued Lance Armstrong on Thursday, demanding he repay $12 million in bonuses and fees it paid him for winning the Tour de France.
SCA Promotions had tried in a 2005 legal dispute to prove Armstrong cheated to win before it ultimately settled and paid him.
Armstrong recently acknowledged using performance-enhancing drugs, and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in 2012 detailed a sophisticated doping program by his Armstrongs teams. Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France victories and given a lifetime ban from sports.
Now, the company contends in its lawsuit, Armstrong and agent Bill Stapleton conspired to cheat SCA out of millions.
The lawsuit notes that Armstrong repeatedly testified under oath in the 2005 dispute that he did not use steroids, other drugs or blood doping methods to win, all of which he now admits to doing.
It is time now for Mr. Armstrong to face the consequences of his actions, the lawsuit said. He admits he doped; he admits he bullied people; he admits he lied.
The lawsuit names Armstrong, Stapleton and Tailwind Sports, Inc., the teams management entity, as defendants.
Tim Herman, an attorney for Armstrong and Stapleton, did not immediately return telephone messages. Herman has previously noted that SCA previously settled its case with Armstrong and said it should not be allowed to reopen the matter.
SCAs lawsuit counters that the case was settled only after Armstrongs lies under oath prevented it from proving he doped.
The lawsuit seeks to recover $9.5 million in bonus money and another $2.5 million paid to Armstrong for other costs and fees.
Separately, USADA chief executive Travis Tygart said Wednesday the agency has been in contact with him Armstrong and is giving him more time to decide if he wants to cooperate with its investigators and tell more about what he knows of doping in cycling.
USADA extended its original Wednesday deadline to Feb. 20 to work out an interview with investigators under oath.
Just two weeks ago, Herman had strongly suggested Armstrong would not be interested in talking with USADA investigators. Tygart said it was Armstrong who asked for more time.
We understand that he does want to be part of the solution and assist in the effort to clean up the sport of cycling, Tygart said in a statement. We have agreed to his request for an additional two weeks to work on details to hopefully allow for this to happen.
The agency has said cooperating in its cleanup effort is the only path open to Armstrong if his lifetime ban from sports is to be reduced.MORE IN Wire SportsANN ARBOR, Mich.

People check in to hotels for two primary reasons: business and sex. Maybe you're in the doghouse and need to redeem yourself, or you're in love, or you just plain need to get laid. Whatever your motivation, here are my top-ten favorite hotels to hit the sack in style. All are within a four-hour radius of SF. Note: Most of these are top-end hotels—you don't need me to help you find bang-the-headboard no-tell motels. If you can't swing high-season rates, wait till winter when prices plummet, especially in Wine Country.
1) If you love sex but have a bad back, book a room with a platform bed at the spiffy, new Cedar House Sport Hotel ($$$) in Truckee (no, I'm not kidding; really, it's the new Aspen…well, sort of). The leather-edged platform beds and butter-soft leather sofas both have removable modular pieces, positionable into all sorts of configurations. Following your lumbar-supported athletics, drift to sleep beneath a feather-light duvet wrapped in supple German linens. Rooms are in several small, satellite buildings designed with a nod to green: nearly the whole place was constructed of recycled materials. Cedar House is for active travelers who want style by night: Wake up to for a morning hike around the Mt Judah Loop, and make out with your babydoll as you take in top-of-the-world vistas above Donner Pass. For details on the hike, read our Truckee guide.
2) Why confine yourself to the bed when you can lie (or should I say lay?) on a heated floor in Napa? The idea behind Carneros Inn ($$$$+) was to build a sort of village with a fashion-forward ag theme and barn style architecture—think corrugated-tin horse-trough fountains. Rooms are in freestanding cottages that look like itinerant housing with million-dollar landscaping. Don't waste time in public view on your rocking-chair front porch. Instead retreat to your private back patio, where you can sprawl naked while sipping pinot. Cherry-wood floors, poured concrete fireplaces, and sleek contemporary furniture set a sexy, yet functional backdrop. But the main attraction—for our purposes—is the giant bathrooms, with their thermostatically controlled, heated tile floors, ideal for l'amour par terre (warning: avoid silicone-based lubricants; they render the highly polished tile dangerously slick; alternatively carry some Dawn dish soap and spare the poor housekeepers). Connecting indoor-outdoor showers have Frisbee-sized shower heads, and the tubs have room for two. Shock-absorbing Ultrasuede headboards provide excellent head protection. When you're ready to reemerge from your nest, head to the gorgeous upper pool and soak in thousand-acre views of rolling pastureland, before falling asleep in the sun.
3) Mendocino Victorian B&Bs are charming for old folks, but you can't make a move without the neighbors hearing. I much prefer the privacy—and potential for anonymity—at the Stanford Inn ($$$$). High on a hill, surrounded by lush flowering gardens abutting the Big River estuary, Stanford Inn is Mendocino's only real resort and has the acreage to prove it. Rooms have wood-burning fireplaces, retro-rustic knotty-pine walls, balconies with blue-water ocean views, and best of all, excellent soundproofing. Throw open your French doors, and lie in bed with the ocean roaring in the distance. The indoor swimming pool—a rarity on the Mendocino coast—is gigantic and open 24 hours; I've shimmied out of my swimsuit here many times during the wee hours. Town is ten minutes away by foot, but free bicycles get you there lickety-split. The inn's organic gardens provide produce for the all-vegetarian dining room, the Ravens, which also serves one of Mendo's best breakfasts.
4) I hate to give away the secret, but Pescadero, on the San Mateo Coast, has a kick-ass romantic retreat called the Pescadero Creekside Barn ($$). There's only one room, a giant loft on the second floor of an old whitewashed barn, filled with a sweet collection of homey, unfussy country-antique furnishings, including a claw-foot tub in the kitchenette. Throw open the barn-style windows, and stand naked while watching the townsfolk make their morning rounds. Privacy is the order of the day: the owners program the lock in advance, and you'll never see them unless you want to. I can't wait to come back—if I can even get a reservation, now that I've told the world about it. Book far in advance for weekend visits.
5) Is your PDA coming between you and your lover? My top-favorite escape on the entire California Coast (and I wrote the book on it), Mar Vista Cottages ($$$) has ten, vintage-1940s hideaway cottages on ten acres of land on the inland side of Hwy 1, 35 miles south of the village of Mendocino—and it's entirely out of cell-phone range. You'll find only the things you need and nothing you don't. Beds have top-of-the-line mattresses and feather-light duvets with high-thread-count sheets; bathrooms have thick cotton towels and handmade oatmeal soap, but no little bottles of shampoo cluttering the vanity (b.y.o.). There's an old-fashioned kitchen, a couple of overstuffed chairs with homemade slipcovers, a collapsible painted-wood dining table, and a fireplace. That's it. No phones, no TVs. In the morning, the owners deliver freshly laid eggs to your room; take your morning coffee to the organic grazing garden—which guests are expected to feed themselves from—and snip fresh herbs for your omelet. I can't say enough about this little Shangri-La, and I hate to give away the secret, but it's just too good not to share. Leave your high heels at home. To find hidden beaches to stroll hand-in-hand at sunset, read our Sonoma-Mendocino Coast guide.
6) When you need physical—and psychological—distance from your day-to-day world, cross the San Andreas fault to Point Reyes, and check in to the fabulous Manka's Inverness Lodge ($$$$), which is still open—at least partially—following a fire last December that burned the 80-year-old main lodge (Jake Gyllenhaal, a guest that night, helped firemen douse the blaze; Joel Cohen and Frances McDormand were also apparently there, but no word on whether they grabbed hoses). The outlying rooms and cabins remain standing—good news because these are some of the most sumptuous hideaways in Marin County, all styled in woodsy Pendleton chic, with log furniture, thick wood paneling, and delicious float-away beds, some of which stand a good three feet off the floor, ideal for bending over comfortably while standing on the floor. Book a room with a fireplace for maximum mood lighting. If you're loud when you get fired up, reserve a cabin; the lodge rooms share walls. After a soak in the giant tub, rinse off in the outdoor shower while choruses of birds chirp all around you. If you like to hole up during the winter rains, this is the place.
7) If you want to hop in and out of water—and bed—all weekend long, book a spa suite at the Gaige House Inn ($$$$), at the north end of Sonoma Valley. Five of the inn's 22 rooms are in a grand 1890 Victorian house restyled with a smart collection of European and Asian furnishings, but the spa suites are where it's at. Built a couple of years ago, they overlook a shaded creek and have all the requisite top-flight amenities, as well as dimmer switches on perfectly positioned halogen lights, and zillion-thread-count linens. Bathrooms are the focal point, with tubs of hollowed-out granite boulders, their interiors polished to a mirror shine, their exteriors left rough as rock. They're so enormous that you need a step stool to get into them. Between the glass-walled bathroom and the glass-walled bedroom is a Japanese meditation garden, perfect for zoning out nude after a scalding-hot soak. A chef prepares the lavish, two-course breakfast, served at well-spaced individual tables, saving your from having to deal with chatty strangers before your first cup of coffee.
If high heels and a spritz of expensive perfume are part of your rituals, book a night at Milliken Creek Inn ($$$$+) , one of the cushiest inns in Napa. A former stagecoach stop on the banks of the Napa River, the inn's ten rooms sport a vaguely British-Colonial style, with rattan and leather, Indonesian hardwood furnishings, soothing putty-colored walls, and fabulous linens. And oh, those enormous bathtubs. Book an upstairs room overlooking the river. Don't be surprised when you come back from your fancy-pants dinner in Yountville to find mood-setting tea lights burning in your room. In all my years as a travel writer, I've never seen that anywhere, and I loved it—it felt so dangerously romantic. In the morning, breakfast is delivered to your room on a tray at whatever time pleases you; the pastries all come from Bouchon Bakery, Thomas Keller's French patisserie. There's also a small onsite spa that does couples massages.
9 and 10) When you've done wrong by your lover and must make serious amends fast, break open your piggy bank and head to Big Sur, location of two of California's most famous properties, the Post Ranch Inn and the Ventana Inn. Both are ideal for a redemption shag, but each has its own flavor. I love the Ventana's Japanese soaking tubs and clothing-optional pool, but the rooms lack the jewel-box quality of those at Post Ranch. For a complete primer on which to choose, read my essay "Five Star Face-off: Post Ranch v. Ventana Inn."

At least four people including one firefighter were injured when the wooden facade of a store under construction came crashing down in Midtown Manhattan, according to the FDNY.
Emergency crews responded to W 40th St. and 7th Ave. on Friday at about 10 a.m.
Metal and wood fell from the facade of a Wasabi Sushi shop and littered W. 40th St.
A FOX 5 News crew on scene reported that a portion of the facade along 7th Ave. remained intact.
The injured firefighter was taken to Roosevelt Hospital with minor injuries, reported the Associated Press. Three pedestrians including two females and one male were taken to Bellevue Hospital. with non- life threatening injuries.
It is not clear what caused the collapse.
The Buildings Department issued a stop-work order at the site because the temporary construction wall was not properly installed.
It was a very windy morning in the New York City area with wind gusts forecasted to reach up to 50 miles per hour.

Employees pay more for less health care
Total cost of premiums didn't rise much this year, but employees are paying a higher percentage and seeing cuts in benefits.
Chalk up another budget category where you're paying more and getting less: employer-provided health care.
A new survey shows that workers are paying a higher percentage of their health insurance premiums as benefits are reduced and co-payments and deductibles rise.
The 2010 Employer Health Benefits Survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research & Educational Trust found that workers are paying 19% of the cost of individual insurance and 30% of the cost of family insurance, the highest rate in the 12 years the survey has been done. Last year, workers paid 17% of the cost of individual coverage and 27% of the cost of family coverage. Post continues after video.
Kaiser president and CEO Drew Altman explained the changing insurance landscape for workers in a news release:
With the economy struggling, businesses have been shifting more of the costs of health insurance to workers through premiums, deductibles and other cost-sharing. This may be helping to stem the rapid rise in premiums that we saw in the early 2000s, but it also means employer coverage is less comprehensive. From a consumer perspective, the cost of health insurance just keeps going up faster than wages.
Since 2005, according to the survey:
- Health insurance premiums have risen 27%.
- The amount employees pay has gone up 47%.
- Wages have increased 18%.
- The Consumer Price Index has risen 12%.
The survey was conducted between January and May, so the results were not affected by health care reform, which has not yet gone into effect for employer-provided policies. It's still unclear what the economic impact of reform will be for those who receive health insurance through their employers.
Forsingle workers, the total cost of premiums increased 5%, to $5,059 annually. The worker's share went up from $779 in 2009 to $899 in 2010, meaning employees paid more than half the increased annual cost of $225.
Forfamily plans, premiums rose 3%, to $13,770, with workers paying $3,997, up from $3,515 last year.
Of course, those with employer-provided health insurance are still paying much less for more coverage than self-employed people and others who buy their own insurance. An individual policy can easily cost $2,500 to $5,000 a year for one person with a $5,000 deductible. And that's for a healthy person who can get insurance.
Among other findings:
- 30% of employers that offer coverage reported either reducing benefits or increasing the amount employees pay in deductibles, co-payments and other charges.
- 27% of employees with health benefits have a deductible of at least $1,000, up from 22% last year. At firms with fewer than 200 employees, nearly half have deductibles of at least $1,000.
- 13% of workers covered by employer-provided insurance have high-deductible plans with health savings accounts, up 8% from last year.
- 74% of employers offer one or more wellness programs.

JC Penney's $41,817 executive commute
At least 9 of the retailer's top bosses live remotely and get a company plane to shuttle them to Texas HQ.
Beleaguered retailer J.C. Penney (JCP) has laid off thousands, seeking to cut costs as an ill-fated makeover plan has faltered. But the company is also spending sky-high amounts on ferrying top executives between their homes and its headquarters, according to Bloomberg.
At least nine of the company's top key executives live a plane ride away from Penney's Plano, Texas, headquarters, including Chief Executive Officer Ron Johnson (pictured) and Chief Creative Officer Michael Fisher.
The retailer pays for the commutes of all the executives, including a construction executive who lives in Boston and a design-and-trends employee who lives in New York, Bloomberg said. The company's head of human resources is also among those commuting from California.
Many of these executives formerly worked at Apple, from which Johnson was recruited.
The company has three jets registered to it, two Gulfstream G450s and one Gulfstream G-IV, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Operating a Gulfstream jet isn't cheap: A round-trip flight between Dallas and San Jose, Calif., adds up to a whopping $41,817, according to a quote from private-jet company Starbase Jet, as cited by Bloomberg.
Aside from the cost of paying for the executives' cross-country commutes, many of them also don't spend the entire week in Texas. The Penney execs who live in California, for example, fly out of Texas on Thursdays and work from their home state on Friday.
"To have them not be there on a regular basis I think sends a very, very bad message," Howard Gross, managing director of retail and fashion practice at executive search firm Boyden, told Bloomberg. Such telecommuting arrangements have come under debate recently, with Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer banning staff from working from home.
CEO Johnson's work arrangements have been detailed before, as written by my colleague Jonathan Berr. Johnson works four days a week at its Plano headquarters, then returns to California in his corporate jet. While in Texas, he stays at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton hotel.
Meanwhile, shareholders of J.C. Penney continue to suffer. The stock has plunged 56% during the past 12 months through yesterday.
Because of the long-distance commuting, decision-making has slowed down and created friction between the new executives and long-term employees, Bloomberg notes. Some of the long-term employees have been called DOPEs, short for "dumb, old Penney employees," the story adds. A company spokeswoman told Bloomberg she had never heard the term.
As for the commuting executives, the company said several are "in the process of setting up permanent residence here and are moving to the Dallas area."
The spokeswoman added: "With all the travel retail leaders do, it doesn't always make sense to uproot and relocate their families, move them away from friends and family to a new city -- only to be gone traveling to visit vendors, stores or overseas."
"With all the travel retail leaders do, it doesn't always make sense to uproot and relocate their families, move them away from friends and family to a new city -- only to be gone traveling to visit vendors, stores or overseas."
This statement is just complete nonsense. I have worked for several major corporations and consulted with many more, and this is exactly what is wrong with much of American business--the excessive sense of entitlement senior executives feel they are owed. I guarantee that the middle managers, who are the people who truly make the company run, aren't allowed to commute cross-country. Plus, if you are going to commute, why a private jet and nights in the Ritz-Carleton? That sets a bad tone for the company by saying that these people are royalty and don't have to suffer like the peasants who work for them.
Consequences, consequences; perceived reactions to our intended actions, image, image....
To me, Penney's image was always modest, perhaps even low-cost discounted and frugal.
I never would have twined necessary staff caliber with jet-set dynamics. Shows how very
biased some buying public is. Though flying coach may not appeal to all, when your product
is considered non-durable working-man consumer discretionary that's floundering, it's
best to fly like most and not as though you're a Neiman officer headed for a Dubai showroom.
In times of economic stress bordering upon economic depression, any sign of waste should
be targeted as unnecessary and eliminated. It's ok to get "the best'" if the costs are similar but
when they're not, prudence mandates one tailor manpower perks to product function. WILD
impractical perks for any organization should be cut. Since Penney's hasn't viewed itself in the mirror lately and streamlined its budget, I'd say the whole organization should be audited for waste and altered; nobless oblige has limits ....
WTF?!?! Exactly what's wrong with first-class? Geez. Does he fear for his safety or something? Heck, I don't think anyone know who he is! He's not a recognizable celebrity (they would pay for their own private jets anyways) and he's not the President of the United States (who has to travel in private for obvious security reasons).
Common sense really is not common anymore and humility doesn't exist.
James Penney founded his company under the rule to "treat others the way you'd like to be treated - Fair and Square". I can't imagine any of Mr. Johnson's store workers feeling like they're being treated "fair and square" when twice or more of their ANNUAL salary is being spent to shuttle him to work every week. In the meanwhile, most employees AND Americans in general can barely put gas in their cars to commute to work.
But then again...maybe Mr. Johnson HASN'T adopted James Penney founding rule.
God help us.
Ok, someone or multiple someones has/have taken a hard hit to the head. There is nothing logical about this at all. There is too much technology available. I keep looking for smarts/common sense/logic; I keep being disappointed. The consolation is that I feel better about myself every time I read such things.
They blew it big time when they tried to makeover Penneys. I was a big fan of St Johns Bay only one of the casualties from this group. Many people like me feel the same and we don't shop there anymore! I haven't been there since black Friday and then I bought nothing.
I spend loads of money at Penneys. Now I do my shopping on line at LL Bean, Duluth Trading and Lands End. Better quality than the crap Penney's now has.

Venice workshop on practical implications of international conventions on wetland management
Practical Implications of International Conventions on Wetland Management
What Difference do International Designations Make?
21-23 November 2005, Venice, Italy
The Province of Venice and the UNESCO Office in Venice organized an international workshop, in cooperation with the Ramsar Convention Secretariat, to investigate the role of designation of sites under international conventions on the management of wetlands at local level.
Through their water supply, high productivity and biological diversity, wetlands have always supported human needs by providing areas for agriculture, grazing, fisheries, transport, etc. In many places, wetland areas were cradles of human social organization and cultural development. Over the last thirty years, several international conventions and programmes established specific legal, administrative and management frameworks for wetland areas. These tools focused originally on wetland biodiversity, but are increasingly incorporating social, economic and cultural aspects of wetlands.
The city and lagoon of Venice present a prime example of this intertwining of natural, cultural and economic interests. The workshop used the case of Venice and its lagoon, further illustrated by comparable wetland areas in the Mediterranean and Europe, to investigate how international designations - notably under the Ramsar and World Heritage Conventions, the Man and Biosphere Programme, EU Directives and others - can be applied at national, regional and local level to develop integrated planning and management mechanisms for sustainable use and conservation.
The workshop brought together about sixty participants from a number of major wetland areas in the Mediterranean and Europe (Venice lagoon, deltas of Po and Danube, lakes Ichkeul and Neusiedl/Fertö, floodplains of Doñana and Kopacki Rit), from regional and local administrations and specific research, conservation and technical bodies. They used a dynamic working-group approach to identify mechanisms for harmonizing existing international mechanisms of integrated governance for local territorial management. Splitting up in three working groups allowed the participants to address the following themes.
The territorial planning process
Discussions on the topic how international designations affect planning at national, regional and local scale identified a number of areas of concern:
The territorial planning process needs to take into account traditional knowledge and should develop mechanisms to ensure territorial planning is underpinned by science, including the transfer of traditional knowledge to planners and managers. Scientific research should also play a key role in the implementation of international designations.
Stakeholders must be clearly identified and effectively involved from the beginning of the planning process. Their commitment to the process, for instance through the identification of economic mechanisms for local development, needs to be obtained in order to establish a shared vision for the planning process. General values and functions of a given site need to be highlighted to the public in order to increase public awareness.
International designations should become part of the territorial planning process, rather than remaining an isolated one-off activity. On their own, management mechanisms provided through international designation are not sufficient for proper territorial planning.
National legal frameworks in support of different international designations must be better harmonized.
Management plans for individual wetland sites
Discussions on the topic how to address different management concerns of different sectors and administrative levels agreed on three fundamental principles:
For large wetland areas, the development of a single integrated management plan, with contributions from all stakeholders and interested groups and individuals, is essential.
A single management authority (rather than several sectoral authorities) with adequate legal power and funding is essential for the effective implementation of an integrated management plan. The management authority responsibilities must include: the establishment of a framework for action involving different sectoral authorities and stakeholders, the harmonization of different activities affecting the site, and the coordination of specific management tasks.
It is essential to establish a mechanism to monitor progress with the implementation of the integrated management plan. The current status of integrated management plans at wetland sites differs substantially. For some sites, an integrated management plan exists and a single management authority has been established. In other areas no integrated management plan has yet been developed, and different sectoral authorities intervene, sometimes in contradictory ways. An integrated management plan and a single management authority are prerequisites for proper implementation. However, they alone do not guarantee effective implementation. In particular, an integrated management plan should include:
- clear and practical points relating to human activities that illustrate economic benefits and measure the sustainability of particular resource uses,
- clear indications on who is responsible for implementing each point, and
- provisions for maximum involvement of stakeholders in the formulation and implementation of management plans.
An integrated management plan has to be site-specific. But it has also to take into account planning aspects in the surroundings, especially the water catchment basin. In Europe, the catchment basin approach is also required by the EU Water Framework Directive.
The responsibility for drawing up and implementing integrated management plans lies primarily with national authorities. International designations can assist the authorities in their tasks, in the following fields:
- International designations draw public attention to specific wetland attributes and the importance of integrated management planning. The political commitment demonstrated through an international designation helps to attract funding support for site-specific projects.
- In several cases, international designations have protected wetland sites which would otherwise have been degraded or extinguished.
- International designations can significantly support eco-tourism activities and new sustainable forms of local economic benefits.
- Internationally designated sites with specific problems can be included in the list of "World Heritage sites in Danger" or the "Montreux Record" of Ramsar sites undergoing ecological change. This increases international awareness of local problems. It provides a procedure to draw expert attention to clarify and solve the problems, e.g. through specific expert missions.
The effectiveness of the integrated management planning process can be improved in a number of ways:
- The secretariats of international designation bodies should take a more pro active role in encouraging and assisting national authorities to formulate and implement integrated management plans ("handbooks and manuals are not enough").
- National focal points for international designations should take an active role, working through national committees and consulting with stakeholders for the formulation and implementation of integrated management plans.
- International designation bodies should insist on the development of integrated management plans within given time periods.
- The content and implementation of integrated management plans should be evaluated by the secretariats of international bodies and associated experts.
- An analysis of how many internationally designated sites have an integrated management plan would provide useful information and an incentive to develop such plans.
- Greater publicity should be given to the benefits derived from international designations at local level. To this end, specific communication and media staff should be on the staff of international secretariats.
The dynamic effects of international designations
Discussions on the topic if designated sites provide a model for territorial planning and management at other sites focused on what international designation of specific sites meant in terms of imposing specific obligations, improvement of the planning process, bringing about local advantages and added values, and supporting trans-scale and cross-sectoral governance.
Providing an international designation to a specific site means submitting this area to specific rules and constraints. An international designation should be seen as a process and not only focus on the particular moment in time when the international recognition is obtained. The process includes the following steps:
- identification of the problems faced and of the objectives to be attained for a given site,
- identification of the major players in the process to clarify the ownership of the process itself,
- agreement by all stakeholders on a specific set of consolidated rules, obligations, standards and procedures and of ways of their implementation,
- selection of the most appropriate tools to achieve the specific objectives,
- provide multiple international designations (e.g. World Heritage, Ramsar, Biosphere Reserve, etc.) for one site only if they help in achieving complementary rather than overlapping goals.
Raising public awareness, communication, sharing of information and training are crucial aspects all along the designation process. They have to include all stakeholders. The designation process should also lead to identification of those who will take responsibility for the governance of the designated area. They may need specific training. The definition of the most appropriate governance scheme for a given site needs to be based on a clear identification of the management objectives, the management procedures to be followed and the process of implementation. The governance form may vary between direct management interventions to soft coordination or flexible cooperation processes, depending on the nature of the site.
Do the advantages of international designation outweigh its costs?
Sometimes, individual stakeholders are negatively affected by the constraints imposed by an international designation, or at least they believe so. However, in general the international designation process is based on a public consent that the values and functions of the particular site merit the application of particular rules and constraints obtained through its international designation. The political process is based on the agreement that international designation will be beneficial for the sustainable management of the area representing a common heritage. International designation provides extra protection and awareness for areas of particular importance. Internationally recognized areas are better positioned to receive political support and external funding to solve remaining problems. Socio-economic benefits of international designations are expected to support labour markets, structural changes and the reduction of environmental restoration costs. Advantages are likely also to affect individual stakeholders, at least in the longer term.
Benefiting from an international designation also means participating in an international network of designated areas. The perception of these benefits varies among different stakeholders and administrative levels:
- Site managers and administrators do not only look for prestige, they also benefit from the opportunities for exchange of experience and know-how, international training and increased motivation.
- Local actors are looking for direct benefits to their daily life and business.
- External users look for guaranteed quality of the benefits and services provided by the site and its visitor infrastructures for which they are willing to pay.
- It is important to establish mechanism to ensure adequate balances of benefits and obligations at the different levels.
Sometimes internationally designated areas are of transboundary nature, i.e. shared between several countries or administrative regions. This may involve different management approaches on either side of the border separating the common wetland area. In these cases, international designation provides the opportunity to harmonize legal regimes, ease access to information, and encourage coordinated management efforts. This may lead to positive competition and mutual learning on each side of the dividing line.
To be effective, transboundary cooperation and coordination needs to be driven by local communities and staff. These local efforts have to be supported by national authorities through the obligations deriving from the international designation,
Several major wetland sites profit from multiple international designations. This is generally beneficial as long as the respective designation criteria are used to create synergy and complementarity. If not properly used, multiple designations tend to become administrative burdens, implying more obligations rather than management opportunities.
It is therefore recommended to improve coordination between international conventions and organizations, particularly concerning the nomination procedures. The secretariats of the World Heritage and Ramsar Conventions, the Man and the Biosphere Programme and others should use membership of the Biodiversity Liaison Group, among others, to develop these opportunities. A clearing house mechanism would be very useful and should be explored. Improved coordination between ministries and focal points in individual countries is crucial, especially in view of harmonizing the boundary delineations of sites listed under several instruments.

Metro Parks Employee Rescues Geese From Frozen Pond
By Chris Cannon
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – An employee from Metro Parks and Recreation freed two large white geese from the frozen ice on the lake at Centennial Park Wednesday evening.
Several people called Metro Parks after seeing the birds on an area of Lake Watauga that was covered in ice.
Early in the day crews responded twice to the pond, but said they were not sure what they could do. They said they didn't have a raft or any equipment to free the birds without causing additional harm.
"We can't put anyone out to try to get them out, we don't have anyone to do that," Tommy Lynch, Metro Parks director, told NewsChannel 5.
Aerial video from Sky 5 HD showed at least two white birds stuck in place and struggling to free themselves. Dozens of more ducks and geese were still moving around in the water.
The birds caught the attention of many people, who stood on the shoreline to watch and tweet about their plight.
All the attention the two geese were getting, got Metro Parks to thinking, and administrators eventually came up with a rescue plan.
"Our initial response wasn't what we should've done. We kind of were thrown with circumstances that hadn't come our way," Lynch said later in the day.
Around 5 p.m., a Metro Parks employee approached the pond with a kayak. Neel Deshpande slid his way across the ice until he was able to reach the birds and break apart the ice with a mallet.
Once freed, the first bird was still struggling to move. Deshpande picked up the bird and put it on the kayak before making his way back across the ice to the shore.
Workers from Walden's Puddle animal rescue took charge of the geese after they were rescued.
"I'd rather take some time and look him over him over carefully, instead of just out here in the dark," said Brian Miller from Walden's Pond.
Miller said it is common for birds to become stuck in the ice on ponds and lakes.
After an initial evaluation, the birds were said to have hypothermia and frozen feathers from being stuck on the ice. They remained under evaluation at Walden's Puddle Thursday, which said the first 48 hours were critical for their care.

The Batesville Police Department (BPD) reports a new scam involving people posing as utility company representatives and threatening to turn off the power unless a delinquent bill is paid.
A phony power company employee will demand payment by a specific time and encourage victims to purchase a Green Dot Visa card or other forms of a pre-paid debt card. Once the victim does it, funds will be loaded onto the card and the fake company representative reaps the payment via phone.
The (BPD) encourages consumers to consult their local power company if there is a question about an electric bill or to report suspicious phone calls.

What happens when you can't repay your gambling debt in Kamagasaki
Nestled in the shadow of Osaka's gleaming high-rises and funky neon lights is a township of grungy alleyways, rusted metal shutters, and old men living in makeshift cardboard huts. This is Kamagasaki, Japan's largest slum – and a "city within a city". Once, it was a suburb for laborers catering to the construction boom that accompanied the country's strong post-war economic growth. These days, the laborers are still there, but the steady work has dried up and the men are getting old.
