CRTC ruling upholds Rogers' responsibilities to multilingual programming
TORONTO, July 31, 2014 /CNW/ - A Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) ruling today rebuffed Rogers Broadcasting Limited's request for sweeping regulatory relief for its OMNI ethnic television chain in spite of recent financial losses at those five stations.
In the same decision, the CRTC will require Rogers to enhance its commitments to original local programming broadcast from its national chain of City stations.
"Multiculturalism is part of what makes Canada great, and we fought to keep ethnic and third language services alive in Rogers' licence," said Unifor Media Sector Director Howard Law. "Rogers Communications is a very profitable corporation and can easily afford to maintain the current level of programming at OMNI, diminished as it is."
Rogers applied for a renewal of their City and OMNI licences in the fall of 2013 with a proposal to reduce commitments to ethnic and Canadian programming, particularly during the prime time evening period. Unifor testified before the Commission in April 2014, arguing that Rogers' claims about revenue problems at the OMNI stations were over-reaching and under-documented.
"This ruling is a victory for growing newcomer communities who rely on this programming," said Law. "We are very pleased the Commission stood firm. But we feel strongly that Rogers can do even better for ethnic and local programming in the future."
Unifor was founded Labour Day weekend 2013 when the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers unions merged. With more than 305,000 members, Unifor is Canada's largest union in the private sector.

Over 70 Bargaining Unit Positions Declared Surplus
Bell Media has posted noticed and informed members that 72 bargaining unit positions are being "declared surplus effective October 13th, 2014." The company has started meeting with affected members and informing them of their options.
Local 723M executive would like to remind all members, that you may have bumping rights even if the company does not outline them for you. Please consult Article 9 of the collective agreement or any union representative to review all of your options.
Bumping will start to occur and even if you were not initially told of a layoff, you may be affected. It is imperative that everyone review the seniority list to see where you stand. If you have any issues with the list, please notify the local immediately.
BellMedia Notice of Layoff
Members that require a seniority list to exercise bumping rights need to contact the local office or email email@example.com
This is one of the more significant and impactful layoffs for our local. The iconic MUCH station has dropped almost all of their original programming. Stations M3 and MTV have also taken significant reductions to their staff and in-house production.
Vacations and Layoffs halt negotiations until mid-August
Negotiations between Local 723M and Bell Media Inc. have been adjourned until August 17-18 to accommodate vacation schedules of the six union and five management participants. In addition the Company has dropped the spectre of layoffs occurring within the next two months if National Advertising revenues do not improve. The Company gave no specifics except to say that Toronto would be affected in any restructuring. The Companys spokesperson also said its intentions would be made clear in future announcements.
Your Collective Agreement remains in full force and effect until a new agreement is negotiated and ratified, or until a strike or lockout occurs.
While we are waiting for negotiations to resume and layoffs, if any, to take place your bargaining committee will be providing members with analysis of the Companys proposals from Unifors research department.
Please follow us on Twitter @uniforlocal723m for information and updates from your bargaining committee.

Rogers cuts to OMNI chip away at Canadas cultural mosaic
Despite cuts to OMNI, Rogers Communications has the necessary resources to make quality local ethnic broadcasting work.
Rogers Broadcasting Ltd. is right now asking the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (our national broadcast regulator) to rewrite the rules governing ethnic television in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta and not to the benefit of ethnic communities.
Rogers wants to direct its multilingual OMNI programming to fewer ethnic audiences, eliminating those it deems unprofitable. They are asking for the ability to remove half of the ethnic communities served. Rogers wants more flexibility to broadcast non-Canadian programming and feels that local community-based programming is too onerous, and wants to cut that, too. That likely means less local news for ethnic and third-language communities.
The company (one of Canadas largest and wealthiest media corporations) says ethnic broadcasting isnt paying the bills, that its a money loser.
We know that multicultural and multilingual television programming is vitally important to many newcomer communities across Canada. Ethnic broadcasting not only fosters a sense of connection to Canadas cultural mosaic, it builds communities (through native language story-telling), provides employment opportunities (with in-house technical production, journalists and on-air personalities) and informs the public (through local news reporting in various languages).
Above all, it fosters greater participation in Canadas democratic life.
Its no surprise, then, that Canadas immigrant and newcomer communities were stunned when Rogers announced job and program cuts impacting OMNI stations in May 2013, the latest in a series of ethnic television cuts over recent years.
Our union filed an official complaint with the CRTC, arguing that Rogers had breached the terms of its license. Canadians agreed. Many expressed frustration with the declining level of programming quality and local-ness in community ethnic television.
At OMNI-1 in Toronto, for instance, local programming has been cut in half since 2000/2001, according to the Forum for Research and Policy in Communications. Since 2005, staff in Toronto (arguably the most multi-cultural city in the country) has been cut by 80 per cent barely above a skeleton crew today. In Alberta, OMNI stations in Edmonton and Calgary dont employ a single local journalist reporting community news. In 2010, Rogers decided to dissolve community advisory boards, originally created to solicit input and feedback on OMNI programming losing touch with its ethnic audience.
This consistent decline in resources dedicated to OMNI raises serious concerns about the future of ethnic broadcasting in Canada. Young viewers wont tune in, if what they see isnt relevant. And it wont be relevant if it continues to be starved out.
In fairness to Rogers, the playing field among ethnic broadcasters is tilted. OMNIs main source of revenue is advertising, and thats becoming less lucrative as new ethnic specialty channels come online. Some specialty channels can charge viewers subscriber fees, a source of revenue not available to over-the-air broadcasters like OMNI (meaning that programs can be watched, for free, through a television antenna). This imbalance must be addressed by the CRTC, and we hope it frames part of the commissions Ethnic Broadcasting Policy review set for 2016.
But if Rogers thinks the best way to solve its competitive woes is by taking away airtime for ethnic communities (to broadcast more lucrative U.S. programming), then that begs the question: Is Rogers still the most appropriate carrier of Over-the-Air ethnic programming? Ultimately, we think it is. Not only because Rogers has ethnic broadcasting experience, but also because it has the necessary resources to make quality local ethnic broadcasting work.
Rogers Communications is a multi-billion dollar operation that raked in $1.7 billion in profits in 2013. Rogers Media, its subsidiary, earned a healthy $161 million in profits. Dividend payments to shareholders topped $870 million. If Rogers continue to produce ethnic and multilingual programming, without any changes to its license, it would cost OMNI $2 million annually a relatively small price to pay so that small-market and third-language communities are well-served. Ethnic broadcasting is about serving the public interest not solely about padding a corporations profits.
The voices of our ethnic communities must speak out. The CRTC is holding hearings on April 8 to decide on Rogers proposed cuts. Rogers has had the privilege of delivering this vital service to our communities, for years. Lets ensure they continue providing quality service for years to come.
Jerry Dias president of Unifor, which represents 660 workers at Rogers, including 60 at OMNI and 370 at City.

Welcome to Unifor
Unifors Mission
Unifor strives to protect the economic rights of our members and every member of the workforce (employed or unemployed). We are committed to building the strongest and most effective union to bargain on behalf of our members, working with our members to improve their rights in the workplace, and extending the benefits of unions to non-unionized workers and other interested Canadians.
Unifors History
Unifor was officially formed on August 31, 2013, at a Founding Convention in Toronto, Ontario. It marked the coming together of the Canadian Auto Workers union (CAW) and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP) two of Canadas largest and most influential labour unions.
The birth of Unifor represented a sign of hope for the Canadian labour movement, and working people more generally.
For decades, union membership (as a share of total employment) had been in steady decline particularly in the private sector. Running parallel to this decline in union density had been a sharp rise in income inequality, growing threats to retirement security, chronic unemployment and underemployment (particularly for young people) and a noticeable rise in insecure, precarious forms of work, especially among newcomers. The decline of union influence coincided with the rise of grossly imbalanced business-friendly policies, starting in the 1980s, that included tax cuts, labour market deregulation and corporate-led free trade deals.
Unifor was a bold answer to the question: "How do Canadian unions respond to the changing economy and these challenging times?"
Its large and diverse membership (that includes nearly every sector of the economy), makes it one of the most representative voices of our national economy. Its representative organizational structure and innovative forms of membership means it can better address regional economic and political matters on behalf of working people. Its core mandate to be an effective union that is built by its members and deeply rooted in community brings Unifors work into the day-to-day lives of Canadian families.
The Unifor project began as a discussion about union renewal in the fall of 2011 between former CAW President Ken Lewenza and former CEP President Dave Coles. Informal discussions led to formal talks among union leadership and staff. A formal discussion paper was prepared, which lead to a comprehensive, open and inclusive union revitalization project, spanning 20-months. Members were invited to follow developments of the New Union Project through regularly published reports, a frequently updated website, and were also asked to participate in telephone town hall meetings and online polls.
From its inception, Unifor has become a source of optimism and inspiration that a fairer, more secure future can be won for working people, that unions can adapt to changing times and remain a relevant voice for workplace and social justice.
CLC One Minute Message
The Canadian Labour Congress is pleased to announce that Michael Rouse is the first place winner (Solidarity Video) of this year's One Minute Message Video contest.
The objective was to come up with the best message and best video in just under a minute about how unions stand up for fairness, how unions deliver good jobs and better lives, how unions fight for a better deal for everyone. What does the Union Advantage mean for you, your family and your community?
Workers' Rights ALERT
Harper and Hudak are promoting changes to labour law that would drive down wages and harm Canadian society
Ontario Conservative leader Tim Hudak has announced that he will weaken unions by making major changes to labour laws if he wins the next Ontario election.
Prime Minister Harper has already pushed through Bill 377. This legislation was designed to disrupt unions by requiring extraordinary financial reporting. Harper may soon try to silence labours progressive political voice.
Read more about how the conservatives are trying to silence unions here.
Support Our TVO / Notre TFO
Dear CEP members and allies,
I am writing to invite you to join "Our TVO / Notre TFO" a campaign coalition of families, educators, artists, and employees of TVO and TFO who, as citizens of Ontario, value public educational broadcast media and want a greater voice in shaping the future of TVO and TFO.
Please visit www.OurTVO.ca or www.notreTFO.ca and sign the letter to Ontario's premier, Kathleen Wynne, right away.
These are challenging times for the people of Ontario. We are dealing with a struggling economy, acrimonious public policy debates, and rapidly changing technology. At these moments we seek agencies that we can trust, that can unite us, and that can serve as a resource for information and enlightenment. For more than 40 years in Ontario, TVO and TFO have been such institutions.
However, this is a period of great uncertainty for public educational media in Ontario. Both TVO and TFO are doing more with less funding in real dollars than in years past. In the last Ontario Budget, the provincial government warned that TVO must "reduce its reliance on government funding." What exactly this means is unclear, although TVO announced the cancellation of three signature shows on November 13: Big Ideas, Allan Gregg In Conversation, and Saturday Night at the Movies. Many of our members also lost their jobs.
TVO and TFO belong to all of us. We all have a voice in shaping their future. This campaign is intended to help people and organizations like ours to raise our voices.
I sincerely hope you will accept my invitation to join the "Our TVO / Notre TFO" campaign.

Too Fat to Serve: How Our Unhealthy Food System Is Undermining the Military
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Michael Pollan coined the term "vegetable-industrial complex" to describe our corporate-driven food system decades after President Eisenhower warned us of the "military-industrial complex." For much of that time, one served the other. President Truman created the National School Lunch Program in 1946 to ensure that young men were healthy enough for military service and as a subsidy to agribusiness. Feeding hungry children was not reason enough to justify the creation of the program.
Mark Winne, author of Closing the Food Gap: Resetting the Table in the Land of Plenty says, "That so many young men had such substandard diets that they were unfit for military service [during World War II] was a matter of national chagrin and a threat to national security. This was the impetus for the creation of the national meal program to feed malnourished children and thus to ensure the nation's future soldiers were fit to fight its battles."
America has come a long way since then. Nowadays, diet-related diseases are due to eating too much food, not too little. As such, the vegetable-industrial complex and the military-industrial complex have collided head on. Many of today's would-be recruits are too fat to serve, according to a new report by the non-profit Mission: Readiness. The report found that 75 percent of young people ages 17 to 24 are unable to enlist in the United States military. Over one-third of those unable to serve are unfit because they are overweight. The military turns away 15,000 potential recruits every year because they are too heavy. The U.S. spends more on defense than the entire rest of the world combined, and while much of our military largesse consists of machinery and contractors, the military still relies on a steady stream of recruits. This is particularly true now, as troops cycle through Iraq and Afghanistan again and again until many are no longer physically or mentally capable of returning for another tour of duty.
To find out how this happened, we should go back to the beginning of both "complexes"-- World War II. As the U.S. rapidly expanded its production capacity for the war effort, it essentially built up an industry that would have no one to sell to once the war was over. What do you do if you're a fighter jet manufacturer and your nation is no longer at war? Demand for your products is inherently going to be limited. You might even go out of business! That's where the two complexes come in. In some cases, the industries feeding the war effort just continued to grow and prosper as the U.S. entered into the Cold War and continued to stockpile arms and prepare for the war with the Soviet Union Americans were told was just around the corner. Other World War II inputs, like pesticides, were converted to civilian uses -- mostly agriculture.
The roots of pesticides go back as far as gas warfare in World War I, but that was nothing compared to the adoption of DDT after World War II. During World War II, malaria posed an enormous threat to U.S. troops in the Pacific and DDT was touted as the mosquito-killing hero that allowed us to overcome malaria so we could ultimately defeat the Japanese. (In reality, other tactics, such as draining standing water where mosquitoes bred, had begun to decrease the malaria threat before DDT reached the scene, but DDT got the credit for the victory.)
DDT's manufacturer, a Swiss company called Geigy, could not keep up with American demands for the pesticide, so the U.S. brokered a deal with other companies, including DuPont, Merck, and Monsanto, arranging for them to produce DDT for the war effort on the condition that they would be allowed to produce it after the war as well. In similar fashion, excess World War II planes became crop dusters and ammonia used for explosives was churned into our soil for fertilizer. Thus, the same war that birthed the military-industrial complex also gave rise to industrial agriculture, which produces the majority of food consumed in the U.S. today.

be careful about choosing the right card though. the one i had, 64GB Transcendent, prevented my mbp from sleep - so it was unusable for both booting from or using as always-on backup drive. as soon as i closed the lid of my laptop, the mbp would start again, and then sleep, and wake up...

I am 48 years of age. In my opinion this digital radio will fulfill my needs to the day I die. Thats a big statement.
To me reviewing your satellite package eg, going from foxtel to fetch TV,XBOX360 on foxtel service and incorporating your digital radio can give you a broader listening/communuications experience at a fraction of the cost.
You need a stable broadband connection and a package with atleast 200GB.
With competition broadband prices has dropped substantially over the last 3 years with broadband retailers giving more for less money see www.whistleout.com
Of course Foxtel are introducing new consumer products such as live tv on your IPAD.
The big winner out of this is the consumer.

Week 3 (2/17/14 – 2/23/14) was incredibly boring as far as training goes. Remember how I noted that I was letting the leg heal and spending a week run-free? Well, that was week 3. It was boring and included a lot of walking. There was a bit of time on the bike, but that was about it.
In total, I closed out my week with:
8 hours and 14 minutes of training:
3 hours and 5 minutes of walking
2,100 yards of swimming
1 hour and 53 minutes of biking/spinning
2 hours of yoga
30 minutes of abs & strength training
Week 4 (2/24/14 – 3/2/14) was similarly boring, but at least I was back to running! I chose to celebrate with a pretty reasonable running schedule and a new pair of running shoes. My parents also came to spend a rainy weekend with me in northern CA, so my father and I spent Sunday morning on the trails.
In total, I closed out my week with:
4 hours and 39 minutes of training:
20.31 miles of running
60 minutes of yoga
20 minutes of cross-training
30 minutes of abs & strength training
Week 5 (3/3/14 – 3/9/14) I totally dropped the ball. It was a rough week personally so I chose to spend time focusing on that. My track workout that week was phenomenal though – I managed to hit a new PR for the mile!
In total, I closed out week 5 with:
2 hours and 55 minutes of training:
16.07 miles of running
2,400 yards of swimming
Week 6 (3/10/14 – 3/16/14) was a doozy. I was home sick on Monday and out of town for training on Wednesday and Thursday. I also did not complete any non-running workouts (it would be the last two weeks, but I did go swimming once in Week 5 with a friend). Maybe that is why my legs have started hurting again. Week 7 shall hopefully involve more balanced workouts.
Week 6 was, though, still a good one. I had my first race of the year on Sunday and manage to scrape by with a 2 minute PR in the 10K!
Week 7 thus closed out with:
2 hours and 7 minutes of training:
15.26 miles of running

The Washington Capitals season might be over, but defensemen Tyson Strachan, Steven Oleksy, and John Carlson are staying busy. On Sunday, Oleksy and Carlson joined Strachan at Nationals Park to help support Strachan's charity "Strachan Strays". As part of a fundraiser, the trio hung out with fans who bought special tickets to the game, signed autographs for them, and took pictures with them.
Strachan Strays is not the only partnership the Washington Capitals have with animal shelters. The Washington Capitals also raised money for Homeward Trails Animal Rescue through their annual calender.
Carlson has a goldendoodle named Ellie and Strachan has an Italian Mastiff named Soder and a mutt named Raja. While Oleksy has no dogs, he says that he enjoys helping out Strachan's charity.
"I've been lucky enough to work at a couple events with Tyson and that's why I was excited to be a part of today"
As an owner of a rescue dog, I really love what Strachan and his charity do. I also deeply appreciate Oleksy helping out despite not owning any dogs. The Washington Capitals have always been active in the community, and it's terrific to see how they all help each other's charities out.
For more pictures from the event, you can check out Capitals Outsider and Russian Machine Never Breaks.

Are you ready to quit? Quitting tobacco of any kind isn't eay but there is lots of support in our community. All you have to do is ask. (printable version of smoking cessation opportunities) Quitting is one of the best things you can do for your health, no matter what form of tobacco you use.
Too often, we think of smokers as people who simply can't kick their "nasty habit." That's dead wrong - smoking is an addiction that most smokers desperately want to overcome. Bet it takes an average of 11 quit attempts before they succeed. When smokers have support from their loved ones, they have better chances of quitting - however many times it takes them to do it for good. Help us spread the love by sharing this video with the hashtag #LoveYourQuitter.

May Day 2013
- Wednesday, May 1, 2013
- 11:30am – 11:00pm
- Throughout Albany!
May 1st is international workers' day and a network of workers, feminists, students, radicals, labor organizers, queer activists, environmentalists, prison abolitionists and occupiers from across the Capital Region have been busy planning!
Our message is clear: our struggles are connected, so too must be our resistance! We recognize that the systems of oppression we face – from capitalism and authoritarianism, to patriarchy and white supremacy – mutually define and reproduce one another. We understand that in order to undo these systems of oppression, we need to build real movements for social liberation able to build, take, redefine, and decentralize power in society.
With that in mind, we are promoting a full day of actions, marches, education and revolutionary music that all are welcome to join:
- 11:30am to 1pm: New Sanctuary for Immigrants, march & vigil for Immigrants' Rights from 273 Central Ave. to Washington Ave. Armory.
- 1:00pm to 3:30pm: Support the Students' May Day Walk-Out! UAlbany uptown campus.
- 4pm to 5pm: Justice for Janitors – Worker Action @ the Alfred E. Smith Bldg. on Swan St (btwn State & Washington)
- 5pm to 6pm: Gather in Academy Park – speakers on the history of May Day & connections btwn our struggles.
- 6pm to 7:30pm: Intersectional March from Academy Park to the SUNY Admin Bldg. on Broadway highlighting the connections between our struggles.
- 7:30pm to 11pm: Live music & free food! After-party at the Red Square – 388 Broadway (18+ have id).
Spread the word! Join us on May Day 2013!

Morning and Evening 12/9 PM
December 9
Isaiah 32:18
My people shall dwell in quiet resting places.
Peace and rest belong not to the unregenerate, they are the peculiar possession of the Lord's people, and of them only. The God of Peace gives perfect peace to those whose hearts are stayed upon Him. When man was unfallen, his God gave him the flowery bowers of Eden as his quiet resting places; alas! how soon sin blighted the fair abode of innocence. In the day of universal wrath when the flood swept away a guilty race, the chosen family were quietly secured in the resting-place of the ark, which floated them from the old condemned world into the new earth of the rainbow and the covenant, herein typifying Jesus, the ark of our salvation. Israel rested safely beneath the blood-besprinkled habitations of Egypt when the destroying angel smote the first-born; and in the wilderness the shadow of the pillar of cloud, and the flowing rock, gave the weary pilgrims sweet repose. At this hour we rest in the promises of our faithful God, knowing that His words are full of truth and power; we rest in the doctrines of His word, which are consolation itself; we rest in the covenant of His grace, which is a haven of delight. More highly favoured are we than David in Adullam, or Jonah beneath his gourd, for none can invade or destroy our shelter. The person of Jesus is the quiet resting-place of His people, and when we draw near to Him in the breaking of the bread, in the hearing of the word, the searching of the Scriptures, prayer, or praise, we find any form of approach to Him to be the return of peace to our spirits.
"I hear the words of love, I gaze upon the blood,
I see the mighty sacrifice, and I have peace with God.
'Tis everlasting peace, sure as Jehovah's name,
'Tis stable as His steadfast throne, for evermore the same:
The clouds may go and come, and storms may sweep my sky,
This blood-sealed friendship changes not, the cross is ever nigh."

This looks exactly like my mind feels today. Mired in data, making connections, mapping out other connections.
Thanks to Stephanie Schneider at Paisley Petunia for pointing the way to these incredible Theresa Decker images for what looks to be a very aromatic event next year.
Was lucky enough to stumble upon the Kraken show at HOLD UP ART in downtown Los Angeles today. Left with this stunning piece along with its diptych pair which is equally stunning, is turquoise, and involves a raven instead of a lion.
A fantastic public art project by Candy Chang. See much more at Design Work Life. What would the world be like if we each had one of these on our living room walls?

Kim Kardashian just got grilled about WHY she pulled the plug so quickly on her marriage to Kris Humphries -- and she chalked it up to that ole standby ... woman's intuition.
Kim was on the Australian morning news show "Sunrise" when the host asked how hard she worked to save the 72 day union -- and if there was any counseling involved. Kim said she was just following her heart ... and "there's no right or wrong."
Wonder if Kris H. feels that way.
Casey Anthony is no longer the most hated person in America!!
who gives a ****, who gives a ****...
hear what upcoming celebrity apprentice contestant and podcast king adam carolla has to say about KK and so much more. New app being launched and website, check it out....
Whore. Very simple would f--- anyone for a buck. In fairness would pay 50 bucks.
Her mother is relishing all the attention and hawking her"book." The Kardashians are laughing all the way to the bank!The public has made these people filthy rich!They continue to be on every t.v show and every magazine cover!No harm done-qui*****ching and quit buying!They are set for life regardless.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Kim and all involved should be sued by all the wedding guest for FRAUD. She absolutely scammed them and i'm sure those wedding guests are so embarrassed for being sucked in to the biggest televised fraud of all time
If Kim knew so deep in her heart that it was wrong to be w Kris why the HELL did she get married? it's just so horrible to put him through that, and sick how much $$$$ she reaped from her scammy marriage
What a LOAD of Crap are you trying to sell us Kim? I do not believe that in the least. I say Boycott the Reality Show and all your products. I can say I do believe Rob K your brother who said to your face and Kris's that you are a spoiled rotten woman and wants whatever she can get! You are disgusting.
It's such bs!!!!!!!!!! all she cares about is fame and money. I am sick that the mess, look at her face she is lying,...
The novelty of an expensive made-for-TV show wedding wore off, plain and simple.
Who the hell this c...ck sucking whore thinks she is? Do you think she is born to be a princess or a porn princess?
She is so funny! https://www.facebook.com/BoycottRealityTV We are boycotting them!
what a loser straight up. before i liked her and her fam. but she took it to a whole new low. she has no dignity, no respect for herself. she is going to end up alone. pretty soon ppl are going to stop working for her. and fans stop liking her. and that will be left is a small portion of your "money". if you think about it shes just a high price prostitute..her mom is prostituting her. you short **** fat troll with crayola on your face. the reason shes doing this is because she has llooooowww self esteem. and no matter how much botox she gets she'll just end up looking like MJ (rip). Im over it. last thing, she got married not for kris but how much public attention she can get..bc her sis found real love so she wanted to pretend she had it too...there not as disgusting as her, they know when to draw the line. take that u 31 year old skank.
My intuition....this whole trashy family will be boycotted... Don'*****ch their show, don't buy anything that their selling ..... Write to the store that their merchant are at and tell them you won't shop there until this family stuff is not longer selling there... Get this trashy family off American T.V.

"Rizzoli & Isles" Subtext Recap (2.10): Hurt her and I'll kill you, no really
Jane show up a little later, bandaged and bruised, to the Dirty Robber expecting her surprise party. But she finds an empty bar. I think she's actually a little disappointed. Quick, Maura, kiss it and make it better.
She finally returns home to find, surprise, the real surprise party. They've decorated her place with a horsie motif, since try as she might Mama Rizzoli couldn't find the My Pretty Pony gear she'd asked for. Someone call Santana, I bet you she knows exactly where to find Jane a proper Rainbow Dash.
Maura hands Jane a beer, in a can. And then drinks one herself. Quick, has anyone checked the good doctor for head injuries from her tasering? Maura says they'll need a lot of beer after today, but that she can taste the aluminum. OK, whew, false alarm. Her mental functions are working just fine.
Frankie gives Jane his detective test results as his gift. He scored a 96 percent. Korsak says he had a good teacher but Frost chimes in that he's the one who taught Frankie everything he knows. Oh, Frostie fans, this finale even had some love for you.
Maura slips in and hands Jane her own present next. Maura, Maura – that box is way too small for you to pop out of naked.
Instead, the box contains fire-resistant racing shoes. Which go along with the trip to racing school Maura gives Jane as her birthday. While it's no naked Maura covered in marshmallow fluff, I think the look on Jane's face says she loves it anyway.
And, if that weren't enough, she gives Maura a happy, humpy hug as thanks. Now, everyone else go home because that little display was just a preview of the proper "hug" Jane plans to give Maura later that night, all night long. And, so, another summer season of Rizzoli & Isles ends as it should – with the bad guys dead and Jane and Maura in each other's arms.
This show, you guys. This show. Should we even keep calling it subtext when it looks like this?

Although Coples participated in individual drills at Jets camp today, he sat out of team drills. He is not hurt, it was a coach's decision.
"They told me to sit out and that's what I did," Coples said. "There's no time for questions. This is the NFL. If the boss says sit down, sit down. So that's what I did."
Manish Mehta asked if he was curious as to why he was asked to sit out of team drills.
"I am," Coples said. "I trust the staff. They (made) the best decision for me. And I'll move forward from there."
Coples was asked if he was aware if his contract was about to be signed, as the Jets have held players out of practice before signing contracts before, Coples advised Mehta that he wasn't.
I don't think there is really anything to see here, just not giving the kid too much too fast.

SOS Online Backup Home Edition 5.0
REVIEW DATE : November 2, 2011
PROS: Intuitive, simple user interface. Fast operation. Facebook backup. iPhone and Android apps. One account covers multiple PCs. Can back up external and network drive. Share files via link. Search backup set. Local backup app included. All files archived, never deleted. Mac version.
A three-time PCMag Editors' Choice, SOS Online Backup just keeps getting better, lengthening the gap between it and the competition. New for SOS Online Backup 5.0 are Facebook backup, improved iPhone and Android apps, Mac support, and a greatly streamlined PC setup process. The new version improves on the software's already fast upload and download speeds. Pricing options, too, once a comparative weak point, continue to improve, with a new 100GB plan that covers up to five computers costing just $75 a year for a two-year plan. And a new pricing plan adds to its attractiveness: $9.95 a month for five PCs and up to 50GB of data looks good even compared with all-you-can-eat services like Carbonite ($54.95/year, 3 stars), which charges $4.95 a month for just one PC. SOS Online Backup Home Edition remains a favorite for its abundance of useful features and its clear, friendly interface.
Installing and Setting Up
An Advanced button lets you exclude particular folders—in short, you can be as controlling or laissez-faire as you like. I appreciated how it knew that a CR2 was an image file, though not the standard JPG, GIF, or BMP. In the next step, I could drill into the folder trees that were selected for backup and make additions or exclusions. Here, I could also enable LiveProtect for files that I might update often. A nice thing about the wizard is that you can go backward and forward through it as much as you need—your first choices are not irrevocable. And if the wizard isn't self-explanatory enough, there's a step-by-step video, installation guide, and support options.
Backup can take place when you're not logged in and without your presence. You can choose to backup hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly at a specified time, and have a report mailed on completion.
Once your backup is rolling along, SOS Online Backup's new interface makes any operations you may need afterward plain as day. Two large tabs offer Backup and Restore. The Backup page lets you re-run the setup wizard, start a backup immediately, or set up a local backup.
Local Backup
While a backup is taking place, you can summon the Backup progress window from the program's animated tray icon. The file operations really whip by in this new version. From this dialog, you can pause or cancel the current operation. You can also open details showing exactly what files are being processed. Files are encrypted, compressed, and sent up to the servers in 5MB batches.
The latest version of SOS adds a "So Simple" system scan for files that would commonly be desirable backup candidates—office documents, images, music, and video. The first time you run SOS, a message box pops up asking if you want to run this. And if that's not enough, the top choice in Step 1 of its Wizard, "What do you want to back up," is Common Files and Folders, which offer the typical Desktop, Documents, Favorites, and Pictures options. Just check these, and in most cases you're golden, but you also have the option to select any folder on your hard drive. Unlike Carbonite, SOS also lets you choose external USB drives and keys, and even network drives. But for the last to work, I had to disable my antivirus app during installation, and 64-bit Windows 7 had some issues with the feature.
Another way to choose files or folders for backup is simply to right click on their entry in Windows Explorer and choose "Protect with SOS Online Backup" from the resulting menu. This is the only Explorer option: Carbonite goes deep with this feature, actually marking each protected file and folder with a color-coded dot.
A third way to configure your backup set is to launch the service's Classic View, which offers more detailed control. From this interface, you can drag and drop files for backup, browse all your disk contents, start a backup immediately, or restore particular files and folders.
For critical files, you can enable SOS's Live Protect feature, which will watch the file and immediately send update info to the backup servers; this feature is unmatched in rival services like Carbonite. I only wish you could designate folders as well as files for live protection. Other advanced settings let you choose file types to back up, suggesting the typical Word, Excel, and photo file types. You can also enter your own custom file extensions for either inclusion or exclusion from the backup set.
The default scheduling option is once daily in the wee hours. But you can increase it to hourly. Of course, only file changes will be uploaded, so it won't usually require enormous data transfers except for the first upload. Checkboxes let you choose whether to run the backup unattended, even if the user is logged out, and to send email reports on the backup's progress.
SOS backs up files in roughly 10K batches, processing them ahead of time with encryption and compressing and confirming the backed up file after upload. You can view a simple or detailed dialog showing what it's doing, how much work remains, and the files being uploaded. And from this, you can pause the backup and resume it later. It would be a little more convenient to be able to pause from the tray, icon, as Carbonite lets you.
For our own comparative test, I used a 100MB batch of mixed test files over a fast T3 connection with an upload speed of over 20Mbps. Using a fast connection like this means we're measuring the backup software's processing and server speeds rather than just the connection speed. Using a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo laptop with 3GB RAM, the mixed bag of files took SOS just 4 minutes to process, upload, and verify. The same batch on the same PC and connection tool took MozyHome 2.0 ($4.95/month, 3 stars) 6 minutes 46 seconds, and Carbonite took 4 minutes 36 seconds. Of course, the differences will be multiplied over much larger backups. Still, your upload speed is likely to be the main factor. Carbonite's InfoCenter offered progress bars showing the current file and total job percent complete, but it wasn't as detailed as SOS's backup progress dialog, accessible from the program's tray icon. I do wish SOS gave some prediction of how much time was left, as the others did.
What's more, unlike most online backup services, SOS doesn't remove a file from your online backup if you've deleted it from your local machine. Ever. Other services usually have a 30-day grace period, after which the file disappears. I can see cases where you've deleted a file locally but want it back later, so SOS covers you in cases where most others won't.
During file restore, you'll see a message box telling you exactly which files and versions are being brought down, their sizes, and how many left to go. In my tests, restore worked like a charm, and I didn't encounter any difficulties as I did with Carbonite.
SOS's Web-based restore site not only lets you get back your lost files, it even lets you play or display content you've stored online—music, pictures, video. Big buttons let you show just photos or just documents. You can choose which protected PC to search, or search across all and do full restores from any. The files come in a ZIP archive after you request them from this secure HTTPS site.
Sharing and Extras
Social Backup of Facebook
The SOS Facebook app only asked for permission to access your basic public data and to send me email—at first. After signing in or creating an account, the app asks for access to pretty much everything. The need to "post as me" seems excessive.
From the Facebook app's user interface, you can invite friends, see your SOS data usage, and view backup history. The service saves a "bundle" which consists of your posts and friend list. You can download this as a ZIP file that will expand into an HTML file you can view in a browser. I only saw my own wall posts for a month. I was hoping it would go back further, and that I could see others' posts to me.
You can also view your Friend list within Facebook, but with the difference that you can download a vCard of their contact info. I would be nice to be able to download all your friends' vCards in one fell swoop; it seems you have to do so one by one. My Albums weren't backed up by default. So this Facebook backup is in its infancy, but the idea makes sense, and SOS is ahead of the curve. The company calls this Social Backup, so it's clear that they're thinking about offering backup for other social networks as well. But keep in mind that there are other ways to back up your Facebook account.

Pre and season.
How many of you now have a different opinion of Schotty given our offensive struggles ? To me it's pretty obvious that he was indeed thrown under the bus and it will be interesting to see what happens if the Jets offense continues to struggle.
If you could list two things that are the root cause of this teams offensive struggles what would they be ?
Pre and season.
what struggles?
you DO realize you're only watching preseason games, right?
It's amazing these Schitty sympathizers still exist. In six seasons, the Jets never fielded a good offense, aside from when Favre told him to **** off and ran his own offense. It was time to move on.
when I say "pre," you say "season"
Isn't this a common theme of the OP?
and pls stop asking to see the wildcat until week 1, or never
I'm not a Schotty supporter at all. I believe his offense was too damn complicated and was not designed for the talent of this team but I was expecting to see SOME offense points in the form of TD's in preseason even though I understand it doesn't mean anything
Can't wait til Sanchez puts a fat ass 40 burger on the Bills week 1 so all the "SOJ"/"problems on offense" drama can come to a cease!
Look, Schotty may not have had it great with personnel but make no mistake the guy was to blame at least as much as every other reason, likely more. I have never seen an OC call more plays that are directly the opposite of what should be strategically called at the moment. I can recall countless incidents.
There was a game last season where we ran the ball 4 or 5 times in a row with a ton of success. Schotty dials up a pass play, not a problem in my book because the defense was now creeping up and playing close to the line to stop the run. This was a perfect time to go deep on them. What does Schotty call? A screen. You're conceding the fact that the defense is likely adjusting to the run after being gashed 5 times in a row by calling a pass play, but then call the one pass play that will likely get snuffed out by a defense playing up close to the line. Result was a loss of 4-6 yards.
Last season and actually a few times against BAL the BAL defense was blitzing with reckless abandon. CB's were playing close press defense. Ironically this is probably the best time to call a screen that was called in the previous scenario, so what does Schotty call? A no look quick screen out to the WR where Mark is passing blind to the WR while the CB is already up in press coverage. Result? Pick 6 both times that I can recall.
Last season against BUF I believe. We were backed up against our own End Zone. We come to the line in a Jumbo package with Holmes as the single receiver. LT was in the backfield and stayed back to block once the play began. Holmes ended up as the only receiver going out for the pass on the play. By the time Mark took the snap his feet were in the EZ and the blitz was heavy. Think about that, schotty dialed up a play, knowing Mark would be in the EZ at risk for a safety, that gave him one, ONE receiving option. So the only choice Mark had was take a Safety or force the pass to Holmes. He forced the pass to Holmes for a pick 6. Mark should have taken the safety, but that play was absolutely the worst call an OC can make.
Let's also not forget his "too tricky for you" offensive strategy to fool the defense by having a useless FB run out of formation into 5 wide sets, basically making himself useless in the play, except for that awesome fool the defense move of frantically flailing his arms just before the snap as if that will fool the D.
Let's also not forget how he pretty much forced every QB to take the clock down to 1 everytime so the D could pretty much pin their ears back and time the snap.
Let's not forget his awesome strategy of tricking the Giants by throwing 59 or so times into one of the best pass defenses in the league.
You have an agenda to bash Sanchez at every turn, I get it. Alot of it is deserved, Sanchez needs to improve. But to actually call Schotty a scapegoat only proves that your agenda is completely devoid of factual analysis or reality.
He was a large part of evaluating(and overestimating) the talent on offense, so I can't say anything I have seen so far is changing my opinion of him.
I never got the impression that he was able to devise ways to utilize the various talents that came through this organization. Rather, he seemed to be a guy who thought players should fit his 'system'.

"We penetrated deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness.
It was very quiet there. At night sometimes the roll of drums behind the curtain of trees would run up the river and remain sustained faintly, as if hovering in the air high over our heads, till the first break of day. Whether it meant war, peace, or prayer we could not tell.
Were were wanderers on a prehistoric earth, on an earth that wore the aspect of an unknown planet. We could have fancied ourselves the first of men taking possession of an accursed inheritance, to be subdued at the cost of profound anguish and of excessive toil. But suddenly, as we struggled round a bend, there would be a glimpse of rush walls, of peaked grass–roofs, a burst of yells, a whirl of black limbs, a mass of hands clapping. of feet stamping, of bodies swaying, of eyes rolling, under the droop of heavy and motionless foliage. The steamer toiled along slowly on the edge of a black and incomprehensible frenzy. The prehistoric man was cursing us, praying to us, welcoming us—who could tell? We were cut off from the comprehension of our surroundings; we glided past like phantoms, wondering and secretly appalled, as sane men would be before an enthusiastic outbreak in a madhouse.
The earth seemed unearthly. We are accustomed to look upon the shackled form of a conquered monster, but there—there you could look at a thing monstrous and free. It was unearthly, and the men were—No, they were not inhuman. Well, you know, that was the worst of it—this suspicion of their not being inhuman. It would come slowly to one. They howled and leaped, and spun, and made horrid faces; but what thrilled you was just the thought of their humanity—like yours—the thought of your remote kinship with this wild and passionate uproar. Ugly. Yes, it was ugly enough; but if you were man enough you would admit to yourself that there was in you just the faintest trace of a response to the terrible frankness of that noise, a dim suspicion of there being a meaning in it which you—you so remote from the night of first ages—could comprehend. And why not? The mind of man is capable of anything—because everything is in it, all the past as well as all the future. What was there after all? Joy, fear, sorrow, devotion, valour, rage—who can tell?—but truth—truth stripped of its cloak of time."

Mark Holloway wrote an answer about Nordica Patron Ski on December 29, 2012
Thanks, appreciate the feedback
Thanks, appreciate the feedback
Okay I am trying to decide between a couple different all-mountain do it all skis that lean towards slightly more powder oriented. I already have a pair of 168cm '09 Obsethed that I've been skiing for a couple years now that are I think 107 under foot. I'm now looking for a slightly wider and longer ski with more rocker that I can more comfortably charge bigger lines with. I'm stuck between the Line Opus, Nordica Patron,and maybe the Bent Chetler or Pettitor. I think the chetler and pettitor are not quite as all mountain cable as the other two, I dont think they have as much camber and are a little wider, so I was really leaning towards the Opus or the Patron in like a 185cm platform. I still want to be able to ski the whole mountain, powder, ice, chop, or groomers, what do you all think?

"Skins" Retro Recap (3.06): "Naomi"
Right now you've got the synthpop of The Human League's "Love Action."
When you're in love, you know you're in love
no matter what you try to do
You might as well resign yourself
to what you're going through
Emily is waiting outside Roundview for Naomi because they might not be together together, but they are together at pub quiz nights together and not too long ago — though I don't really know how
long because Bristol's space-time continuum is as bendable as a noodle
— they were very together in a bouncy castle. Naomi hides behind
the Brandeh Babies (because being seen naked once this morning is
enough, thank you very much) and sneaks into school without Emily
Or, you know, maybe not. Maybe she just sneaks out and has a smoke
and some banter with the father figure who's clearly perving on her. The
first time I saw this episode I thought Kieran actually was Naomi's dad
because of the way he inquires after her mother and wonders if she's
"still saving the world one lentil at a time." Naomi says that
sometimes her mum is up and sometimes her mum is down, which is just
another inconsistent thing in a life full of things she can't rely on,
another person she can only trust with her Campbell Crunch outside and
not her fluffy Naommallow center.
Emily is going to show Naomi the truth of herself in the most
comforting and terrifying way a little later over oilz, but this thing
with Kieran: Naomi just wants to hang out with someone nonthreatening
who thinks she's kind of special. Who thinks she's kind of different.
Who thinks it's OK to dream a little. Who doesn't want to get in her pants. Or her … red overall dress(?) with the one properly functioning strap.
In the Roundview assembly room, Effy and Freddie are trying to out-emo one another, which Naomi immediately picks up on and asks about when she sits down with Effy and Panda. Effy tells Panda to shut up before the words even finish forming in Panda's head, and Naomi doesn't push because she's got to use all her energy to huff and puff and sigh and eye roll when Emily hops up beside her on the table. And, like, you know Naomi's got to use her energy for something or she'll be crawling all over Emily like a box of puppies in a matter of seconds.
The lights go off and the Bristol Strangler comes in and MURDERS EVERY ROUNDVIEW STUDENT AND FACULTY MEMBER! No? Then why is everyone screaming? Oh, it's Doug, doing a poetry reading to some battle sounds and projected images on the wall. That's awesome. I would totally do that if I was a teacher. The point is: There's going to be a democratically-elected student president, and as soon as Harriet announces it, Emily nudges Naomi who shakes her head like, "I'm already in charge of the zoo at my house," but Emily — per usual — refuses to take no for an answer.
She follows Naomi through the hallway and demands to know why she won't stand for president.

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe ran from a reporter when questioned about money he received from Jeffrey Thompson, who is embroiled in a campaign finance scandal.
A WUSA reporter approached Gov. McAuliffe and asked if had any plans to return the $2,500 he received from Thompson, a businessman who was behind a $650,000 illegal shadow campaign for D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray in 2010.
"Governor, your 2009 campaign took $2,500 from Jeffrey Thompson. Do you have any intention to return that?" the reporter asks as McAuliffe walks away. The reporter continues to follow him, asking multiple times if he will return the money. The governor continues to ignore his questions.
In 2008, a Hillary Clinton aide, Minyon Moore, sought help from Thompson for "street teams" to strengthen get out the vote efforts for Clinton, according to court papers. After this, $600,000 was funneled to a marketing executive in New York to fund the teams. However, prosecutors claimed there is no evidence Hillary had any knowledge of the operation.
Before McAuliffe became governor of Virginia, he served as the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2001-2005 and co-chaired Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign. While Bill was in office, McAuliffe raised $275 million for Clinton's causes. He even loaned the Clinton's $1.35 million to purchase a home in New York City.

Bradley Corporation
This article has been sponsored by Bradley Corporation, please visit www.bradleycorp.com/advocate
The Advocate's all-in-one design allows users to soap, rinse and dry their hands without leaving the fixture.
The Advocate's design keeps water in the sink and off of the floor throughout the hand-washing process, making washrooms cleaner and safer.
The Advocate is available in single-, double- and triple-unit designs for washrooms of all sizes.
Over the past 15 years, architects, facility managers and building owners have widely adopted touchless technology in sinks, soap dispensers and hand dryers to create more hygienic lavatory experiences for their patrons. The more consumers learn about bacteria and disease transmission, the less they want to touch anything in a public washroom.
While touchless technology has quickly become a best practice in commercial washrooms, many buildings have yet to make the jump to completely touchless environments because of the design challenges and cost implications involved with incorporating multiple touchless fixtures in their washrooms.
Wisconsin-based Bradley Corporation hopes to change that reality with the launch of its new Advocate AV Series Lavatory System. The Advocate is the first washroom fixture to combine a touchless sink, faucet and hand dryer in a single unit and enables users to complete the entire hand-washing process – soap, rinse and dry – in one place without touching a fixture. For operators it means moving to touchless washrooms with a single installation.
In addition to providing consumers with a touchless experience, the Advocate improves cleanliness, sustainability and safety of contemporary commercial facilities.
A neat innovation
Even the most high-end touchless hand dryers spray water on walls and floors and relying on multiple fixtures leads to consumers dripping water on the floor when they step away from the sink. The Advocate's unique design ensures that water goes down the drain – not on the floor – and the unit's touchless hand dryer means the end of used paper towels piling up around the washroom.
Reducing emissions, paper waste and water use
The Advocate is made from highly durable Terreon solid surface and TerreonRE recycled solid surface material, which are GREENGUARD certified as low-emitting materials. The Advocate's .38 gallon per minute faucet reduces water use by 24 percent compared with standard, low-flow faucets and its high-speed, dual-sided hand dryer can completely eliminate paper towel waste. No other washroom fixture can deliver sustainability results across those areas.
Preventative medicine
Each year, more than 234,000 people visit emergency rooms due to injuries suffered in washrooms. Falls are the No. 1 source of washroom injuries, with 30 percent resulting in head and neck injuries. Less water on floors creates a safer washroom environment for users, less potential for injuries and improved peace of mind for operators.
Product options
The Advocate is available in single-, double- and triple-unit designs. Installations to date have included restaurants and bars, some of America's best-known quick-serve brands, museums, sporting facilities, large retail stores and healthcare facilities.

Basic, applied, and bridge research articles, as long as they include participants with ASD, are appropriate for submission. Studies that address assessment and/or treatment in home, school, clinic, hospital, and lab settings are appropriate. Authors of papers that directly address how derived relational responding research and methods can be used to produce meaningful change in everyday skills in individuals with ASD are especially encouraged to submit their research; however, research that addresses any other area of application of derived relational responding to the assessment and treatment of ASD is also appropriate. Studies incorporating relational frame theory are especially encouraged; however, studies incorporating stimulus equivalence, naming, and verbal behavior applications that involve derived relational responding are also encouraged. Finally, studies using either valid single case designs or controlled group designs are appropriate.
Note: Please select the article type "SI: Relational Responding" in EES during the manuscript submission process, to ensure that your paper is considered for this special issue.
Important Dates:
First submission date: August 1st, 2014

Brittney Griner Covers ESPN Magazine; Talks Coming Out, Bullying, and Sexual Identity
Out WNBA player Brittney Griner covers ESPN Magazine's Taboo issue. In it, she talks coming out, bullying, and sexual identity: "So many people exist between the two ends of the spectrum, but no one wants to admit it. If you're in between, they say something is wrong with you. 'We can fix you.' Well, I don't need fixing."
