Are You Ready to Hit the Trail?Posted May 24, 2011 | Promotions by Industry
…the campaign trail, that is.
As a wide Republican field continues to be whittled down to a select few, incumbent President Barak Obama has already started building his campaign for the 2012 election—even though it's still roughly eighteen months away. While his campaign store is full of the usual suspects such as custom yard signs, rally buttons, and campaign bumper stickers, there are a couple limited edition items that demonstrate the president's dry sense of humor.
In response to the long-running controversy over his long-form birth certificate, President Obama has stocked his campaign store with a custom t-shirt and a campaign coffee mug featuring his picture and the phrase "Made in the USA" underneath on the front, and the long-form birth certificate on the back. Clever and cheeky, the shirt and coffee mug match the attitude that many people have taken toward those individuals that have continually called for the birth certificate, even when evidence confirming the president's citizenship has already been presented.
While InkHead carries several Made in the USA promotional products, today let's look specifically at promotional items that would be perfect for political campaigns.
Custom Products for Political Campaigns
Last November, we examined the Politics of Promotional Products and found which type of promotional items each political faction prefers. Specifically, we learned that "Republicans like food gifts, Democrats prefer logoed pens and independents might scoff at anything less than a brand-name shirt." These are not the only items that will work for raising awareness of your political campaign, however. The items listed below will excite your candidate's base and connect him or her with new voters.
- Political Bumper Stickers: Tried and true campaign materials, custom bumper stickers with the candidate's name and message will be seen by thousands of motorists. Hand them out to voters at rallies and other events.
- Campaign Yard Signs: Having taken off in popularity over the last decade or so, promotional yard signs enable voters to inform their neighbors of their political leanings.
- Custom Car Magnets: Not every driver wants their car to have the retro look that only a Mondale/Ferraro '84 bumper sticker can evoke. For those concerned with the semi-permanency of bumper stickers, car magnets are a perfect replacement.
- Logo Coffee Mugs: If bumper stickers are good for the road and yard signs are good for the neighborhood, then coffee mugs are good for the office.
- Imprinted Water Bottles: Connect with your constituency in ways they love. The active (or eco-conscious) individual is sure to appreciate the sport bottle customized with the candidate's name and desired office.
- Campaign Buttons: Another mainstay of political campaign materials, a custom button will help the wearer spread the candidate's message.
- Personalized T-Shirts: While not every t-shirt will have as pointed a message as President Obama's, each shirt will expose your candidate's name and platform to other potential voters.
This is just the beginning. If none of these items will work for your campaign, feel free to peruse InkHead's entire catalog of nearly 20,000 items to find the one that works best for you. If you need a hand finding that perfect item, please call us at 800-554-0127 any time between 9 AM and 8 PM to speak with a Promotions Specialist, who can help you locate a suitable item for your campaign.
The Bottom Line
Although the 2012 presidential election is still several months away, President Obama has not wasted any time in setting up his campaign store, which serves to collect donations from supporters and gain notice from would-be voters. More immediate is the 2011 elections, which are only a few months away. If you are considering a political office or work for someone who is, then you should order products such as campaign car magnets, custom coffee mugs, and personalized water bottles (or any of the other products mentioned here) to reach and connect with potential supporters.

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Bengals have officially signed one of their two second-round draft selections in Margus Hunt.
The defensive end plans to help add to the already improved Cincinnati defense, by bringing his superior height and agility to special teams as well. While playing at Southern Methodist University, Hunt blocked 17 kicks, including the NCAA record for most field goals blocked (10), and finished his career at SMU with 16 1/2 sacks.
The only draft picks remaining to be signed are tight end Tyler Eifert (first round), running back Giovani Bernard (second round) and safety Shawn Williams (third round).

Mediocre 4.0
When reading the description of this hotel, you think it is super nice and new. I am now wondering if I ended up checking in to the wrong hotel on my visit! I was doing business in the area and this seemed to be the best choice. I didn't arrive until after 10 p.m. and ended up with the last room available according to the clerk. The room itself was okay, but I guess I expected more from a self-described newer hotel. The hotel didn't look new to me at all once inside. The floors in my room were so dirty, I ended up laying out towels and pillowcases to walk on to keep my socks from getting black. This was all a bit surprising. Maybe I got a bad room and this was a fluke. I was just not impressed at all and was happy that I only had to spend one night there. Sad thing is that I don't think there is a better hotel in the area. This means I will likely be staying there again in Fall on my next business trip (this is why the review is anonymous!!!). (I also checked ''yes'' to the...

Towels, sheets, and pillowcases seem to be old and worn out. I have stayed here twice, and it seems they need to be replaced. Bathtub did not look like it had been scrubbed by house cleaning crew.Would love to see some fresh eggs and some kind of bacon or sausage for breakfast, instead of just biscuits with sausage gravy! Should provide a variety and something different in that category every morning!

ON JAN. 2, 1965, the day Joe Namath signed with the New York Jets, this city had no idea what
it was getting. Not only would Namath go on to lead the New York Jets to their only Super Bowl win in
1969, he would also become the epitome of New York cool during much of the 1960s and 70s. Kids would
walk around with his gimp and imitate his hipster lingo. From downing drinks at his own nightclub
to shaving his moustache off on television, Namath was a man who knew how to work the media-driven
And then it was over. By the 80s he'd become a footnote to the New York sports
scene, shunning bars and ducking cameras. Sure, you'd see him as a sportscaster or on the occasional
commercial, but it wasn't the same. At the age of 41, Namath settled down to raise a family. At 55,
his wife and kids split, leaving him alone with a weakened kidney and flickering memories of fame.
Former Daily News sportswriter Mark Kriegel has a new biography
out that chronicles the quarterback's rise and fall. Namath (Viking, $27.95) covers Joe
Namath's impact on the city and the sport of football. In it, we follow the transformation of a two-bit
street hustler from Beaver Falls, PA, into a super-slick urban hustler. By day, he was one of the
best quarterbacks this city has ever seen; by night, a world-class playboy bar crawler.
Over a few pints at a Brooklyn bar, I talked with Mark Kriegel about Namath,
football and the New York that once was.
What led you to Namath as a subject? When I was a kid I had a Joe Namath
poster over my bed. He was the first ball player I remember whom I idolized. Namath was before Walt
"Clyde" Frazier and Pete Maravich. I was seven years old and I didn't know what cool was, but I knew
Namath was it. I conned my parents into buying me the official Joe Namath uniform when I lived in Manhattan
on 28th St. Someone hit me once and it fell apart. The helmet got cracked.
Is Joe Namath relevant in 2004? There is no Michael Jordan or
Tiger Woods today without Joe Namath. There is none of that without Namath. He was the original cool
ball player.
Too bad he was long off the sports scene when you started doing sports
journalism. Do you think he would have been a colorful guy to write about? That's why I wrote
the book. My years as a sportswriter coincided with the age of Michael Jordan, and by then it was all
about television and merchandising.
In New York every sports figure since has been judged in relation to Joe
Namath, or at least his fable. From Reggie Jackson to Mark Messier to—God help us—Patrick
Ewing, who didn't even guarantee a victory. We sportswriters sat around parsing his sentences
trying to get a guarantee out of what he said. It was because we remembered how great it was that Namath
had guaranteed the Jets, as 18-point underdogs, they would win Super Bowl III.
It wasn't Ewing's fault. He had a deficit in charisma. No one could be
Joe Namath.
Besides youthful memories, what led to the book? The seed of
the book was a story that Sal Marchiano told me. [Marchiano is a sportscaster for Channel 11 who partied
with Namath as a young man.]
They were close. Marchiano told me years later, after all those late
nights, that he visited Namath after he was divorced and pushing 60 in Florida. Namath was drinking
alone in the shadows of his empty home, suffering as a divorced dad. His Broadway Joe image was gone.
That image of Namath alone drinking vodka became the image of the book.
Joe Willie Namath, the Playboy of Manhattan, drinking alone as an
old man, is sad. From owning the hottest bar in New York and making out with every girl in town—to
being alone with a bottle.
In the 70s, Namath wore a pair of women's pantyhose for a tv commercial.
He wore his hair long, then wept on tv when he lost his bar because of the supposed savory characters
who hung out there. He was out there for a man of his time. If you take away all the cosmetic levels
of his persona, you have a good old-fashioned tough guy. Namath was tough enough to get beat down
by the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs week after week. He was tough enough. He was the first
athlete who was both an old-school tough guy and a new-fangled hustler. He didn't care who saw him
in women's stockings.
I still can't get past the fact that the man posed in women's pantyhose
on national tv. It took balls to do that. He didn't give a shit what people were saying. He liked
getting paid the money more than he disliked the backlash: He got paid $10,000 for shaving off his
fu-manchu mustache on tv.
Do you think that the current Jets quarterback, Chad Pennington,
could get a commercial to shave off a moustache he might grow? The better question is: Could
Chad Pennington even grow a fu-manchu moustache?
At the end of the book, Namath is alone. His wife has left him to hook
up with a Beverly Hills surgeon. His kids left to be with their mom. How did this happen to the most
swinging dude in New York? It is the most unlikely destination of all. You have the man who was
the standard-bearer of booze and broads becoming, in his own way, Mr. Family Values. He was Mr. Mom—without
the family. It damn near killed him.
Everyone who saw that Namath interview in 2003 on ESPN where he asked
the female sportscaster for a kiss, they saw that as a goof. Like one of those crack-up tv moments.
I saw that as a man in pain. I saw a man who had lost his family.
When I saw it, I just thought Namath was a pathetic old drunk. He'd
been sober for most of his marriage. His wife realized he shouldn't be drinking, [so] he stopped
drinking for his wife. As he matured, his family became the most important thing to him. [He] turned
into a guy who would do anything to keep his family together.
As fans, we [consider] the significant event in Namath's life to be when
he guaranteed a win in the Super Bowl for the Jets—and then winning that game. But for Namath,
the significant event in his life was the break-up of his parents' marriage and his father leaving
his family when he was in the 7th grade. [He] spent the rest of his life trying to avoid this thing.
And as a Jet, with all of New York before him, he liked booze and broads, and he was scared to death of
being married and being in a position where he would be unfaithful.
He's a paradox. This guy who had all these women was scared to be unfaithful.
What does Namath think of the book? I didn't hear he didn't like
it. I went to his agent early on and he made it clear Namath's involvement would have to be based on
some sort of financial arrangement. I would have had to pay him to talk. But I couldn't do that. That
is not good journalism.
You talked with friends he grew up with in Beaver Falls, his teammates
and the crew he ran with. They had a lot to say, and it wasn't all so nice. They loved him, and they
knocked him. His teammate, fullback Matt Snell, was the most objective of his former teammates
because he felt that Namath never got the credit for being such a student of football. He was so good
as a quarterback because of his quick release and the way he could see all the angles on a football
field. That takes hours of studying film. But he also said sometimes the guy would come into the locker
room and you could smell the booze on him.
It all comes back to the drinking. The guy was in constant pain
from the time he was a senior in college. The booze took the edge off the pain. His knees were wrecked.
Over time he lost the ability to differentiate physical and emotional pain, and his marriage fell
apart in the late 1990s when he treated his emotional pain like a football injury. He treated his
broken heart the same way he would treat a busted-up knee.
In the book you describe how he'd get all the sex he wanted. There
were two movements in popular culture that helped to make Namath even bigger than he would ever have
been: the point spread and the sexual revolution.
Would you have liked to hang out at Bachelors III [Namath's bar in
New York]? Who the hell wouldn't? His career follows New York nightlife with drinking with
a purpose—that purpose being to wind up with beautiful women on your arm. He symbolized the
idea that men could go out for a night and wind up with a model. He blazed that. A lot of friends who were
good close friends with Namath loved the book because it gave them the chance to remember being young
and running around with Namath at night. The joints Namath went to in New York were advertised as
places stewardesses were welcome. Everyone drank, everyone got laid, there was the birth control
pill and everyone was groovy. Being around Joe Namath made every man with him feel like he mattered.
They lived off the light of him.
Namath hit every hot spot in New York and had a beautiful woman on his
arm every other night. Do athletes today get that? You couldn't have that today in New York.
All these athletes today are so worried about their image they don't even have an image.
Joe Namath came from a time before athletes spoke in that clichéd
happy horseshit way. He was a guy who conjures up memories of the good old days. Derek Jeter would
never want to be seen holding a scotch at the bar. Maybe he drinks, but Namath didn't care if you saw
him drinking.
Does Namath deserve to be in the football Hall of Fame? He had six good
years and six pretty bad years. Forget the stats. Yes, he had more interceptions than touchdowns—but
it's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Stats. You want to know Namath's impact on football? Just check
out the tv ratings. Forget the numbers; I still thought the guy was the shit.
Namath was once on President Richard Nixon's enemy list. How did
that happen? Namath was politically agnostic. He had no political belief. Ali wasn't on Nixon's
enemy list. I think it was the fact that Nixon was an old-time Washington Redskins fan.
Joe Namath has been honored and idolized for years, yet does not see
himself as clearly as his friends and those who played with him. Did that make for better research?
That's for others to judge. I don't think that Namath is the type of guy who would divulge intimacies,
especially because when I started this book he was in the midst of sadness over his divorce. I still
don't think he is the type of guy who would go on Oprah and have a good cry.
In 2003, I was at the Meadowlands doing a story on the Giants on the
day Namath asked that female sportscaster for a kiss. The Giant officials were goofing on the Jets:
Their Hall of Fame representative was acting like the drunk, just like the Jets fans who foul the
stands of the Giants Stadium. As opposed to the Giants' role model Lawrence Taylor?
In his book, Baltimore Colt Bubba Smith claimed that the Jets' Super
Bowl win in 1969 was fixed. Namath was familiar with the betting establishment of the time. [Smith's]
allegation was complete bullshit. Who threw the game? The Jets won that game outright. Namath hustled
the Colts [and] they lost their whole game because of their fear of Namath. Who fixed the game? They
lost. The Jets won.
Do you look back at Namath's hedonism with nostalgia? It isn't
nostalgia—it's regret. Look at sports bars now. They dress the waitresses in lame, standard-issue,
referee-zebra-stripe shirts and everybody has to drink Coors Light. And you have Keyshawn Johnson's
Jersey on the wall like it's the Shroud of Turin.
How will Joe Namath be remembered? He will go down as the first
ball player who blew up on tv. o

Op-Ed: VISA Could Derail the Affordable Care Act
Published: September 25, 2013
Likewise, Governor Perry has refused to participate in the program, making it unlikely he would establish a state law mandating credit card-accessible healthcare exchanges in Texas.
Because of partisan politics, the crisis falls to federal regulators or business to solve.
If the government pursues a course of regulation, it will cost millions in court fees and yield a less productive solution that one achieved through business-led cooperation with the government agencies. Furthermore, business-led initiatives have the benefit of offering the potential for new job opportunities and economic growth.
In order to bring about a true, business-led solution to the healthcare-credit card crisis, two key stakeholders would need to be involved: The Electronic Transactions Association (ETA), the trade association for payment processors and America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the trade association to the ETA for health insurers.
With partisan politics and presidential ambitions gumming up the legislative process, these two trade groups should convene and develop a solution that allows health insurance plans to accept various forms of banked and unbanked payment for coverage that means profits for both sides.

Patriots not expected to meet media this week at combine
|02.18.14 at 1:09 pm ET
The Patriots are not scheduled to have any official media availability at the NFL scouting combine this week in Indianapolis.
While Bill Belichick last addressed reporters in 2009 — and delivered an epic filibuster prior to taking a few questions — Patriots personnel chief Nick Caserio has occasionally held court with a handful of local reporters away from the podiums in a semi-informal setting. Caserio could still speak with the media, but nothing is officially scheduled at this time. Both are expected to be in attendance.
The Saints and Cowboys also do not have any official media sessions scheduled with a coach or GM, while nine coaches, including Belichick, are not scheduled to speak with reporters.
The combine opens Thursday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

That person is inside a wall...

you teach only a little of the lie
I, claustrophobic, am so happy that
I gave you a present of a chastity belt (it suits you very well)
I with flawless principles, in this inflamed evening
while my arteries pulse

text: Children's Literature - Melissa Rife In his secret life as a superhero, Chip, otherwise known as Rockhead, has run into a new opponent: Papercut. At school, Chip seems like a normal "nerd" with a crush on a cool girl at school. However, what no one besides Chip's best friend knows, is that Chip has been saving the day as a superhero. When bully Troy Perkins is given a special potion, he turns into a super-villain. That super-villain, too, is determined to take down Rockhead because "Paper beats rock." Just when it seems to be the end of Chip and his superhero identity, his best friend becomes his new sidekick—Scissorlegz. Because scissors are Papercut's weakness, the new duo finally takes him down. Interspersed throughout the book are several advertisements for Stone Arch products, although it is not clear whether these are real products for sale or not. As well, there is a glossary at the end and several questions to accompany the book. Nickel creates a unique story, but the story has little depth or length. The entire book is basically one fight. There is no connection made between the words in the glossary and their location in the book. Without the other books that are part of this series, "The Incredible Rockhead", this story leaves the reader a little confused. Why is this boy a superhero? How did he get like this? As a stand-alone book, it just does not work well. Reviewer: Melissa Rife

Hi, guys!
Recently, I purchased a new wallpaper for my Tamagotchi from the Gotchi Interior shop, and after a while, I decided to change it to a new one to see what that one would look like. I didn't really like the new one, though, so I went back to the shop to find my old wallpaper. However, I found that I had to pay for it again, even though I'd already bought it. That seems a bit unfair to me. Is this the same for the downloaded wallpapers?

The downloaded ones... If you made them, you set the price. Although you can change the download prices too, but its easier to let them be.
Once I got all the items, the price didn't seem like much since I wasn't spending it on anything. The money stops after so long, as in there is a max amount.

Yeah, I was a little disappointed about this myself, because I thought I could keep a stock of paid wallpapers... But then I realized that I have to pay for all the labor that goes into putting up those wallpapers... those good tamas working so hard to set it up on my every whim~

Re: Tell us about your funny kiddos!
I was giving my 2 1/2 year old daughter a bath. As I cleaned her body parts, I would say "one foot, and the other foot; one leg and the other leg, one arm and the other arm." She then took over and said, "one belly and the other belly". I bursted out laughing because as she sits her belly "bunches up" and forms a fold, which she thought of it as two bellies. Cutest thing!!!!

It's not getting any easier to lead a union.
Negotiations last year between the United Steelworkers and domestic steel companies reflect the sometimes contentious relationship labor and management have. Informational pickets brought thousands of current and retired union members –- many carrying "Respect our past, secure our future" signs –- while officials sought to hammer out a new contract.
Union officials say members will have to be as active and engaged as they were in 2012 to remain relevant in the future.
"American manufacturing cannot succeed unless it's incredibly productive," said Jim Robinson, director of the United Steelworkers District 7, with 85,000 members in Indiana and Illinois. "That's what globalization has done. You can't succeed unless you have a workforce that works productively together. You're not productive if people aren't all working on the same page for the same goals."
Robinson said future collective bargaining agreements will have to continue to balance competitive needs with employee desires, and new people will have to be attracted to join the labor movement.
Tougher negotiations coming
Companies including United States Steel Corp. and ArcelorMittal remain concerned about retiree health care and other post-employment costs including pension obligations.
Those issues will remain major sticking points in contract bargaining once the current agreement between the steelworkers and the companies expires in 2015.
"When you have an industry now that is supporting three to four retirees for every worker, it makes it that much more difficult and how to fund it will be a continual problem," said United Steelworkers Vice President Tom Conway.
Robinson said the union is reaching the outer limits on its ability to negotiate for a reduced burden on retirees in paying for health care costs.
Dean Gloster, partner with San Francisco-based law firm Farella Braun & Martel LLP, said the industry appears to be headed toward setting up more voluntary employees' beneficiary associations to cover the unionized steel industry.
Voluntary employees' beneficiary associations, or VEBAs, are tax-exempt trusts established to fund benefit plans. These trusts have been set up to serve people ranging from United Auto Workers retirees from Ford, GM and Chrysler, to retirees from shuttered steel companies such as Bethlehem Steel and LTV Steel.
Gloster said companies want to "exit the retiree health care business" especially since the cost of medical care has risen faster than the rate of inflation for 20 years.
"Folks on both sides of the table including the labor side have to appreciate that you have to come up with some way where the employer has to (be able to) compete," said Gloster, who has represented retirees of Delta Airlines, General Motors and Delphi during bankruptcy proceedings.
In addition to retiree health care, companies also want to contain costs for active employees, said Andy Harshaw, executive vice president of operations at ArcelorMittal USA. ArcelorMittal management has had a series of discussions about how to improve the wellness and health of employees.
"We need to find ways to get ahead of that curve and in many ways, provide an opportunity for employees to take a serious look at their lifestyles and what are the key things that improve their health," Harshaw said.
Balance sheets also measure health, and pension costs for steel companies and others in the private sector can make a company appear unhealthy. Robinson said it's important for people to continue to have access to defined-benefit pension plans, and the United Steelworkers will fight to protect them.
"A retirement system that assumes everyone is an above-average (money manager) is not going to work," Robinson said, referring to defined-contribution pension plans such as 401 (k)s.
Changing industry times
Steel mills served as magnets of employment and opportunity in Northwest Indiana during the 20th century, said James Lane, Indiana University Northwest history professor. Lane said mill conditions and wage concerns provided fertile ground for labor to help unionize a large part of the domestic industry.
"A steelworker could raise a family and the wife wouldn't necessarily have to go to work and they could buy a car every few years and buy a swimming pool," he said. "It provided a middle class standard (of living) for the children and grandchildren of immigrants."
That case would be tested. Steel companies shed employees as a result of global competition and by making capital investments for less labor-intensive equipment in the late 1970s and 1980s. Lane said by the 1980s, unions "were trying to hold on by their fingertips and prevent the erosion of contracts."
Charles Bradford, a New York-based steel industry analyst, said during the 1980s and 1990s, steel industry production had a tremendous switch from integrated steel mills that produced steel from iron, coke and limestone in blast furnaces, to electric-furnace minimills, which melt scrap metal to produce steel.
Bradford said the unions were hurt during this period, because all the steelmakers that went bankrupt employed union workers and some of the largest minimill operators don't run union shops. In all, 50 steel companies went bankrupt between 1998 and 2002, according to the United Steelworkers.
The erosion of jobs in the industry has left people frustrated over the years, especially since unions and company management couldn't help many mills remain in operation. Failed steel companies also sapped millions of dollars in wealth from thousands of workers' pension plans.
Companies such as Nucor and Steel Dynamics have grown in prominence, employing workforces not represented by unions, leaving questions about whether there is still a need for unions.
United Steelworkers' Vice President Conway said unions are critical in their support of workers' rights. He said companies that resist having a union-represented workforce miss opportunities such as providing training for workers.
The United Steelworkers represents 55,000 workers in primary metals production. The union is among 22 affiliates with the International Metalworkers' Federation, which represents 25 million metalworkers in 100 countries.
Robinson said it's important for unions in the United States to build solidarity among workers around the world to help improve the standard of living for workers in other countries. This also would protect employment opportunities domestically. He said if the wage gap among countries were smaller, firms wouldn't be as encouraged to move production offshore to chase lower labor costs.
Not up for discussion
One plan the union wants to keep out of the steel industry is the use of a two-tier wage scale. Union officials want to avoid a rollback in contract provisions deemed important to maintain the workers' standard of living.
Robinson said he doesn't want wages lowered for any worker and that the conflict created in the workforce in the short-term to prevent two-tier wages outweighs any cost.
Conway said wage stagnation in the U.S. manufacturing sector is alarming and the trend has continued over the last decade. He said there's no reason an assistant manager at McDonald's should be making more money than a worker in a metal-forming shop.
"I think it's a bad idea," Conway said about a two-tier wage system. "I would resist it as long as I am in the industry. I don't think it makes sense."
Union executives also continue to see right-to-work as a policy designed to drive a wedge between labor and management. The policy, which exists in 24 of 50 states including Indiana, makes it illegal for workers to be required to pay dues to a labor organization or third parties as a condition of employment.
Participating in rallies protesting right-to-work and being on informational picket lines during the USW contract negotiations last year have been important activities for younger union members, said Al Smallwood, member of USW Local 6787 and a third-generation steelworker at ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor.
Smallwood said his father and grandfather talked about their picket-line experiences at the dinner table and he visited some as a youth. But there are many first-generation steelworkers who haven't had the opportunity, and he said it's important for them to understand the activist culture that epitomizes what the union has fought for.
Better relationships ahead?
ArcelorMittal's Harshaw said he has spent time educating members about the company's competitive standing prior to the expiration of the previous contract. The company set up a website, transformingarcelormittalusa.com, to share information about the impact of increased competitiveness of electric-furnace minimills and rising labor costs.
He said employee communication is an important part of responding to developments affecting workers on the shop floor.
Domestic companies want flexibility in their operations, especially when it comes to labor costs. Robinson said unions also want enterprises to be productive and sustainable.
Threats of a labor stoppage last year during contract negotiations were real, but conflict is inherent in the relationship between employees and companies, especially when it comes to resource distribution, he said.

How to get rid of pests inside and outside of your house
Get Rid of Bats in Your House
How To Remove A Bat From A Room In Your HouseIf
a bat has gotten into the living areas of your home the best thing to do is call a pest control company or wildlife specialist.
A small percentage of bats carry rabies and you don't want to risk being infected. If you are unable to get a professional
to come to remove it and prefer to get it out yourself, do this with great care.1. The first thing you should do is shut the door to the room and turn on the
lights so it doesn't escape to other areas of your house.2. Open the windows, it might fly out on its own.3. Cover yourself up with a coat, hat and gloves. You will probably have to search the room to locate the
bat.4. The bat is probably frightened
and will hide. It most likely has landed in a secluded area of the room such as the back side of the curtains, under a pile
of clothes, in the clothes hamper, closet, etc. Spraying a large amount of air freshener or an insect aerosol in
the room should irritate the bat and make it come out of hiding.5. Once you have found the bat carefully cover it with a small blanket,
a pillow case, or garbage bag. A small fishing net or swimming pool skimmer will also work.
I have caught plenty of bats using my old swimming pool skimmer. After it is caught release it outdoors. It's a good
idea to release it at least five miles from your home to prevent it from it from wandering back to your property again. If
it has come in contact with people or pets it should be captured and killed so it can be tested for rabies by the health department.
Do Moth
Balls Work In Repelling Bats? In my opinion moth balls (naphthalene flakes)
usually will not help in repelling an active infestation of bats, although they may help to prevent a re-infestation after
they have already been excluded from your attic. The odor from moth balls is only present for three or four weeks and
is also slightly toxic to children and pets.
How To Seal Bats Out Of Your House Permanently
Exclusion is the best way to eliminate them and allows them to safely leave their roost sites but
does not allow them to return. Once all have been safely excluded, all roost sites should be permanently sealed with caulk,
foam, netting or bat tubes. In many states bats are protected. There is no spray that can be used to keep bats out. Mesh
NettingSealing their entrance holes with mesh netting keeps them out. They will be able to exit, but wont be able
to re-enter. Place the mesh netting over openings, attaching to your building with staples, nails, screws,etc. Secure the
netting on three sides, leaving the bottom free (see diagram to the right). Be sure to extend bottom of netting about 12 inches
below the opening leaving enough room for the bats to squeeze out and exit the house. They should not be able to re-enter
through the netting. Leave netting in place for at least a week, although permanently would be best. Make sure all bats have
left your home.
Bat Dropping informationBat droppings look much like mice droppings, except that bat droppings seem to be found in piles
and mice droppings are usually found with single pieces scattered around. Fresh droppings are shinny black, and soft.
Old droppings are dull black, hard and crumbly.
Bat Droppings Can Be Toxic. Hire An Expert To remove them. Bat droppings are known to cause histoplasmosis,which is caused by the airborne spores that are produced
by droppings.If you decide to remove droppings from your home: Lightly spray them with water
and bleach. This will kill the spores and help to prevent dust when you sweep or vacuum them up. Wear an approved respirator. Seal openings to living areas of your house with plastic.
What should I do if I think I have been bitten ? First of all
don't panic, less than 1/2 of 1% of all bats carry rabies.Look closely at the bite, a bat bite is no
more than a pin prick. If you have been bitten,wash the bite area with plenty of soap and flush with water for at
least ten or 15 minutes. Notify your doctor, or your local hospital emergency room Call your local health
department If you can, catch it , but do not come in contact with it. Use leather gloves, a net. Put it in
a bag, can, or box and cover it with a lid. Do not damage the head, because the brain is what is used for testing. The
Health Department will want to send it off to check for rabies.Once an exposure has
happened, a series of 5 shots will be given to you by your doctor. The shots are not painful, and are not injected
in the stomach as they were in the past. The shots are given to you in the arm. If the animal was tested, the
results of the test will decide whether or not you will get the shots.
Bats are usefulBats should never be injured or killed. They are an insect killing machine.Many farmers
in America place bat houses around their fields because the bats will eat insects that are harmful to their crops. Bats also
help to pollinate many of the fruits we eat. In many states they are protected. Less than 1% of all bats carry rabies.

Bat Urine OdorFirst, let me say that I LOVE your website
and have passed it on to a couple of friends.My question - I have been finally able to clear
my bedroom from a few bats that had taken up "resting" on a very small ledge type area that is part of the exposed cathedral
framing of a log home and is located right over my bed. Since the "residents" have left, it seems that on certain days there
is still a lingering odor (I presume urine) especially when it is warm and a bit humid.I
have cleaned/treated this area using a vinegar/ baking soda solution, citrasolve, windex, a bleach solution, odor eliminating
sprays and any other product or combination of products that I thought would eliminate this odor. Even after using all
these concoctions, the odor has maybe diminished a very tiny amount. Since I can not replace the wood, I wondered do
you had any ideas or miracle cures in this odor elimination. I appreciate any
help you can give me.Thankyou for your compliment and email. Probably the best product you
can use to get rid of urine odor is Natures Miracle Urine destroyer. I have used it many times on dog and cat urine and have
had great results. Have never used it on bat urine but it should work. You can find it on Amazon and many hardware stores
also carry it. Its not expensive. Sorry, I do not know of any home remedies to remove bat urine odor.
Bats Attacking Kids In Swimming Pool My
kids use to love to go swimming after dark in our pool, until the bats started showing up. Every night around 10 PM they start
swooping down at the kids in the pool as if their trying to bite them. I worry about bats and rabies so I don't let my kids
anywheres near the pool after dark. My daughter will be turning 16 next month and wants to have some of her friends over that
night for a pool party but I have told her only if we can find a fast way to get rid of the bats, otherwise she will have
to have her party in the daytime. Do you know of anything that will work to keep them away. Answer: Most
likely their not swooping down to bite the kids, but to get a drink of water. It's a common thing for bats to swoop down to
get a drink of water in creeks, ponds, lakes, and pools. Heres a couple ideas that might be the solution to your problem. 1.
Install bright flood lights around your swimming pool. Bats hate light. 2. Purchase a swimming pool canopy. You can
get them for around $200.00 on eBay. A canopy will prevent the bats from swooping down. Hopefully these things will
do the trick.
Bats In Apartment House
A friend of mine lives on the third floor of an old apartment building-located on a military school campus in Indiana. The
building has been converted to apartments, and is in fairly poor condition. During the winter months, it is heated with steam
heat. In the spring, infestation of bats are routinely problematic.
She owns two house cats, and for the sake of both her and the cats' health, nontoxic pest control methods are preferred.
Please let me know what you may suggest.
Hi, Thanks for your question.
In most cases an exterminator is necessary to seal out the bats. She should contact her landlord about having the bats removed.
It is the landlords responsibility to keep the building bat free. She also might want to report the problem to the health
department, since bats can present a danger to humans with the transfer of rabies. Electric bat repellers,bat repellents and
moth balls are usually a big waste of time and money in getting rid of bats but sometimes help in preventing them. All holes
and crevices the size of a quarter or larger on the exterior of the building should be sealed up with caulk or wire mesh.
One of the entrance holes should be left open until after all the bats have left usually around dusk or later. The hole should
then be sealed up with caulk, fitted with a bat exclusion tube or sealed up with mesh netting. If the netting is stapled on
the top and also the left and right sides, their should be enough room for the bats to squeeze out through the bottom but
they won't be able to re-enter. Once the bats are excluded from the building repellents may be useful in preventing a re-infestation.
Bats should never be killed and in most states they are protected by law. They are responsible for consuming many harmful
insects such as mosquitoes and moths.

How To Bring Back McGann
Guest contributor Mike Falino looks at how to integrate the 8th Doctor for another return.
I have been a fan of the Eighth Doctor for quite some time. Ever since I saw the Doctor Who movie I thought it a travesty that Paul McGann never got a fair chance to pilot the TARDIS for longer than the time of a standard 90s TV movie. It was clear he was perfect for the role, but alas, it was never to be.
Fast forward nearly twenty years and audiences both old and new got a chance—a brief glimpse—of the wonderful but little known Eighth Doctor in The Night of the Doctor. Although the Eighth Doctor has an extensive history in the Big Finish audio adventures, most fans just never had much interest, or means, to enjoy them. But thanks to Steven Moffat's love of the show, fans got a chance to experience Eight, and it was fantastic.
Now there's a huge interest among fans to see more onscreen adventures of the Eighth Doctor. I am among this group. But the question arises of how to integrate him. A spin-off seems the most logical option, but the chances of two concurrent Doctor Who series running at the same time is less than nil. A movie perhaps? Now there's an idea! One or two feature films could be fantastic. But I have another idea…
I propose a story arc that brings the Eighth Doctor back to our screens for adventures with the Twelfth Doctor. I know, it sounds crazy, but really, it seems the most amazing option to me.
Before anyone starts with the "rules" nonsense, or "it would be weird" silliness, let me cut you off. As has been made clear many times by many fans, Doctor Who doesn't really follow many rules. At its essence it's about a Time Lord who travels in his TARDIS. That's it! He usually has a companion or two that tag along on his adventures, but otherwise, that's it. Those are the only "rules".
What I particularly love about having both Doctors travel together for a while is that it has never been done. When a show reaches 50 years it's probably quite difficult to come up with new ideas. But right here is an idea that has never been done other than in anniversary specials, and in one other regular season story. But to have two Doctors involved in a story for an extended period of time… wow! It would be an event in Doctor Who lore that would be something so drastically different that it would give Doctor Who a chance to revolutionize science fiction yet again!
Perhaps it could take the form of the Eighth Doctor popping in and out throughout a season, a sort of "continually crossing paths" scenario. But I really love the idea of having both Doctors travel in the TARDIS for a few episodes, not much longer. Three or four episodes would be an ideal length to tell a really unique tale. I think it would be one of the most fascinating and successful things ever done on the show, and it would give the Eighth Doctor, and Paul McGann, the respect and recognition they both deserve. As for the fans, it would be nothing less than a Doctorgasm for the ages!

I think it would be fantastic to see Paul mcgann back as the doctor. He has all the charisma the doctor needs. If love to see him back.
That is a very good idea. Doctor Who is all about change and the writers are always trying to shake things up a bit, and what better way to do it than what you just explained?! :)
I'd love to see him come back but realistically this won't happen. Right now they are focusing on Capaldi and bringing in another doctor would probably overshadow Capaldi's new doctor. Capaldi needs his time to shine. However a miniseries could work in the future, showing the missing gaps, with how the time war started for example. This could be set to lead right up to the night of the doctor.
It would be cool, as long as it didn't go on for too long. Just a few episodes. Maybe having two doctors travel together could be one of the catalysts that starts the time war.
While I wouldn't mind seeing more of 8 one day, right now it's all about Capaldi and 12!. Bringing 8 back so soon after the 50th celebrations would be inappropriate.
Simple. The Doctor can recycle faces...perhaps even past regenerations. At the end of Capaldi's run- surprise us with a reregeneration into Mcgann. This way Capaldi's run isn't watered down and we are left not knowing how Mcgann's story ends. Have it last for 1 ep, 1 arc or 1 season, whatever works...then boom new Doctor. Everyone gets to eat cake.
Here is a thought... a two part episode where the McGann Doctor and the Capaldi Doctor are facing a similar villain. We see both doctors in action... Things do not go as well for the 8th doctor. The two do not actually meet... Both Doctors are in their own timelines and do not meet, but fighting the same villain, can the 12th Doctor face it without making the same mistake that the 8th Doctor made. and maybe a scene where Capaldi's Doctor does some of his work by wondering into one of the old control rooms (McGann's control room), and maybe using it as his control room in the end.
personally the idea of McGann returning pleasures my brain nubs to no end. although the idea of having a four episode arc in a new doctors series seems a little extravagant, especially considering the small quantity of episodes in the recent years (Series 7 part 1 a.k.a the most painful year of my life) additionally mcgann meeting a doctor who has lived passed his perceived regeneration cycle can could render the episode or the entire shows arc for the past years obsolete, i would like to see some kind of interaction between the eight doctor and clara (or the next companion) in my mind the ideal situation would be that of getting into the wrong tardis, or calling for help and having a different doctor arrive. anyway odds are we won't be seeing a return for paul mcgann any time soon especially not in the same year as the genesis of a new doctor.
I'm down with this :D Having met Paul last weekend at a Comic Con and seeing what a nice bloke he is in person and how dedicated and loving he is to us fans I think he more than deserves this idea. I think it would be great for him to come back for further stories, especially if it means he has a good old banter with Capaldi (an actor who Paul believes may become the best Doctor yet). It's a brilliant idea and one I'd love to see happen for the glory of seeing Paul do his thing once more.
An interesting idea, but how would you watch it in a marathon?! However, it is indeed series "8".
Personally I'm not too keen on this idea. I don't think McGann coming back is very necessary to be honest. Good article though :)
I think it would work best if he appeared in one story with 12 to introduce him to viewers who don't know him already, and use that as a backdoor pilot for a spin-off (it could introduce supporting characters and a location as well)
If Steven Moffat dose do a multi-Doctor story with the 8th Doctor, it should be done for 2016 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the TV movie.
I'd love to see McGann again, but I have to agree that Capaldi needs his first season to make an impression. However, rather than another "Two Doctors" episode, I'd rather see a story that switches back and forth. Both doctors stay in their respective timelines, but they deal with the same threat. It could be a lot of fun to see a narrative than ranges forwards and back, with each Doctor handling different sides of the problem.
Here here!!! Well said! The timing couldn't be more perfect. And the chance to do it is NOW or NEVER, as the saying goes. Or else McGann will begin to look older than he did before he regenerated. We MUST take advantage of the present.
And for a 50th anniversary season which willl be a neo-classical approach to the show (older incarnation for the Doctor, two teachers at Coal Hill High School), what better way to inject a "new" component by having a classic Doctor pop in every now and then across Capaldi's timeline???!!!!!
It's perfect I tell ya.
But worst case scenario is this: McGann will get a series of mini-sodes. In fact, I'll say it here and now as a PREDICTION: McGann will be filming (if it hasn't already started) maybe 5 or 10 minisodes for a webcast. And this series of minisodes will fill in the gap between now and Capaldi's debut in the Fall of 2014.
Just bring him back Paul Mcgann was awesome
I really love McGann as The Doctor, I enjoy the Big Finish adventures & he was great in Night of the Doctor. But to have him back would be a mistake, it would lessen the impact of his tv return & I think multi-Doctor stories should always be kept for very special occasions.
It's a good idea but I can't see it happening.
In my mind, the Night of the Doctor minisode was a truly magnificent surprise, and what made it so special was that it was a one-off, nostalgic moment that brilliantly filled an empty gap in Who's history. Fans got excited (and rightly so, I was one of them!) because for 8 glorious minutes, Paul McGann was the Doctor again.
So, for me, anything else just wouldn't be the same. The surprise and emotional impact would be gone, and it's really just bringing back McGann for the sake of it. Night of the Doctor was needed, really, for Eight to finally have the closure he deserved, and it excelled. With a spin-off, there's only so long that the thrill and nostalgia would last, and it wouldn't be as special.
Now, if there was a spin-off, the excitable fan inside me would love it, but the logical fan inside me knows that Eight has already been given a fitting end to his story and doesn't need anything more.
I can't be the only person who feels like this massive surge in people wanting McGann back is completely unneccessary. Not only would it be, as someone earlier put it, jumping the shark, but also Capaldi is his own Doctor! He doesn't need a past Doctor tagging along, he should have time to mature and develop without bringing his past self along.
I haven't been overly thrilled with some of the fans' ideas for bringing 8 back since The Night of the Doctor. But this is a pretty good idea. Nice job.
This. Would. Be. Awesome! The thing with it though is that at the end we'd probably cry because 8 wouldn't remember his adventures *cough* Donna * cough*...
What about using the info from the end of the 50th about visiting old faces. Capaldi could learn how to control his regeneration and change into Paul Mcgann.
Great idea - the only slight problem I have is - who would have top billing, Peter or Paul? It would be unfair for Peter to have to take 2nd billing to Paul especially when his first series hasn't aired yet, and unfair to Paul to play 2nd fiddle to Peter. Neither should have to share the limelight, and in bringing in Paul now, there is a risk of diminishing his position, which is exactly what should be avoided.
But you are right, Paul has been cruelty denied his rightful spot in the TARDIS. I think a couple of movies is the best way forward, and even a couple of spin off series in-between the Peter series. If we the audience shout long and hard enough, Moffat and co will have to do something about it eventually. Come on Moff and Gatiss you know you want to ;)
It's useful to bear in mind: McGann and Capaldi are playing the same character. Period. What you're proposing is an extended version of a man talking to himself. Which gets dull after a while.
The other alternative would be to have the Capaldi Doctor encounter a character who's met the Doctor before -- in a different incarnation. And the character would recall that meeting via flashback. Not only does that offer McGann (and maybe Eccleston) a chance for returning, but the imperfect memory of the character means other actors could play the role of classic Doctors (Mark Gatiss as the Third, for example).
I would think that the best - and possibly only - time to bring 8 back would be at Gallifrey's return. After all, it took 3 Doctors to use the Moment and all 13 to move Gallifrey, so including (at least) 1 more at its return would be fitting.
Or perhaps a case could be made for each Doctor (or at least each surviving Doctor) to be holding a piece of the information necessary to return Gallifrey to our universe, forcing 12 to revisit some of his past to acquire that knowledge...
I love McGann (but that's for a different kind of forum) and the mini episode was brilliant. It still makes me squeak with joy when I think about it! But that is over. While I would've loved him to have had his own series after the TV movie he didn't. Doctor Who has moved on and we now have the brilliant Capaldi to look forward to. Maybe he'll pop up in the future, but I rather like the Eigth as an enigma. It all adds to the Doctor's character and mystery.
I think people are getting too carried away, McGanns return was one of the best things we've had in years for Doctor Who but I don't think we appreciate enough for what it is a 50th present if we continued to bring McGann back when it wasn't relevant it would just get tacky and this if anything is jumping the shark.
As much as I would love to see McGann back in the TARDIS, no Doctor should have to share more than a special episode with his former selves, it's just not fair to the actor. I feel like he'd get Donna Noble'd in the sense that Donna had to share her season with Martha, then Rose, then the Tenth Doctor Reunion Tour.
Sounds like a good idea for the new who 10th anniversary.
Doctorgasm? That's new...
i would be fine with this or any return for Mcgann though i think Capaldi should get at least one series on his own first. given gallifrey's return, perhaps Mcgann could play another time lord, perhaps the doctor's brother. it wouldnt be so unbelievable that siblings could occasionally share bodies and he could become a returning, Mycroft like character. just an idea, i would love to see him return as number 8 himself. but im not sure that moffat would do this.
Hey guys (we know how the ladies will vote), hands up if you'd like to see more of the 8th Doctor Paul McGann.
Seriously a Capaldi - McGann partnership (even a temporary one) has huge potential. I think the next Christmas Special would be the ideal time for Paul McGann to make a guest appearance with Peter Capaldi.
They could do something like film the normal 12-13 ep series with the 12th doctor and then do another Sherlock 3 episode type series with the 8th doctor and air them similar to the way DC are doing airing the Arrow and The Flash by having the Arrow like in the winter-spring and having the flash aired in the summer meaning we would get twice the who a year like
I think the time for the '8th Doctor has gone.
I hate most prequels plus it's kind of frustrating knowing that the 8th Doctor is not going to be in any serious danger from enemies or threats considering we all know how he regenerates.
If McGann does return I don't think it will be this series. but hopefully with the 10th anniversary of New Who next year he could return
I've recently discovered that Peter Kay is going to be broadcasting his new series 'Car Share' on BBC iPlayer - Well isn't that a solution? Since BBC 3 is going to become online, why don't they get an independent production company with close ties to the guys in Cardiff to produce an online series. That way, it wouldn't interfere with the television run.
Problem sorted imo.
2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the DW movie. Perhaps then that could be a way to bring 8.
I think a story arc would be the way to go. I don't want a spin-off or movie series. Two Doctor Who television series running at once would be to confusing. And if they made a movie, I'd want it to either use the current Doctor, or be a seperated continuity all together.
Reading the comments, people want mcgann in the new who anniversary. My question: do u realize he is a classic doctor?
the logic does not compute. If anything, only new doctors should be in such a thing. New who anniversary. New who.
The Doctor is a larger than life character. You can't have 2 larger than life characters, they will constantly try to be louder than one another, and that will ruin the show.
he is really great in the audios maybe he could appear at the end of peters time but peter needs to get his doctor right
@social_crime The Two Doctors with Colin Baker and Patrick Troughton was just a regular season story. The Name of the Doctor had a cameo by John Hurt as the War Doctor. Matt Smith is making it well known he would like to return so why not McGann?
@TheEleventhWheatley Can you explain to me why McGann returning is 'jumping the shark'? I agree it is unlikely. I agree that Capaldi should have time to develop his own persona as the Doctor unencumbered (and I don't think the writer of this article is really suggesting that this would have to happen in Capaldi's first, second, third season just that it is an option) but that's not really the same as saying McGann EVER returning is somehow ridiculous or potentially damaging to the show. The idea of eight and twelve meeting really seems no outrageous than any other multi-doctor story of which several have spanned over multi-episode serials.
@Oncoming_Badger Jumping the shark and nuking the fridge...
@LanceMasina Or 10th anniversary of New Who next year? :)
@Gustaff I actually don't see him as a classic Doctor, because he doesn't belong to the classic series. I consider him as the bridge because of the one off TV movie he did, his only primary appearance as the Doctor. If McGann is in a special of some sort next year, and that's even if there is a special to commerorate 10 years of New Who, there needs to be a reason. Same goes for his three successors.
@tealeaves @TheEleventhWheatley I can understand why many people want McGann to return, he is a fantastic Doctor in his own right - but I just don't feel like it is neccessary, and I think, without trying to cause to much upset, a return for McGann would be more pandering to the fans than anything else. It would be interesting to see them meet, but, as you mentioned earlier, I think a lot of this is down to my misunderstanding that the author wanted Capaldi to meet McGann in his first series. So, in conclusion, it would be great for Messrs Capaldi and McGann to bump into each other at some point, just not too early on.
@Master Michael Moon @Gustaff I don't consider him Classic either, he's in his own pocket universe...

With the NHL's April 3rd trade deadline rapidly approaching, the Blackhawks are rumored to be in on a number of players.
A second-line center is the number one need. Also, when Jarome Iginla lists you as one of the teams he's be willing to accept a trade to, you have to kick the tires.
If the Blackhawks do add a top-six forward, center or wing, they have a log jam up front.
Let's take a look at potential lines after a trade (assuming health):
