Mohamed Moncef Marzouki (Arabic: محمدالمنصف المرزوقي, Muhammad al-Munṣif al-Marzūqī, born 7 July 1945) is interim President of Tunisia.[1][2][3] Through his career he has been a human rights activist, physician and politician. On 12 December 2011, he was elected interim President of Tunisia by the Constituent Assembly.
Early life[edit]
Born Grombalia, Tunisia, Marzouki was the son of a Qadi. His father, being a supporter of Salah Ben Youssef (Bourguiba's opponent), would emigrate to Morocco in the late 1950s because of political pressures.[4] Marzouki finished his secondary education in Tangier, where he obtained the Baccalauréat in 1961.[4] He then went to study medicine at the University of Strasbourg in France. Returning to Tunisia in 1979, he founded the Center for Community Medicine in Sousse and the African Network for Prevention of Child Abuse, also joining Tunisian League for Human Rights.[5] In his youth, he had travelled to India to study Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent resistance.[6] Later, he also travelled to South Africa to study its transition from apartheid.[7]
Political career[edit]
When the government cracked down violently on the Islamist Ennahda Movement in 1991, Marzouki confronted Tunisian President Ben Ali calling on him to adhere to the law.[7] In 1993, Marzouki was a founding member of the National Committee for the Defense of Prisoners of Conscience, but he resigned after it was taken over by supporters of the government. He was arrested on several occasions on charges relating to the propagation of false news and working with banned Islamist groups. He subsequently founded the National Committee for Liberties. He became President[5] of the Arab Commission for Human Rights and as of 17 January 2011[ref] continues as a member of its Executive Board.[8]
In 2001, he founded the Congress for the Republic.[9][10] This political party was banned in 2002, but Marzouki moved to France and continued running it.[5]
Following President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's departure from Tunisia and the Tunisian revolution, Marzouki announced his return to Tunisia and his intention to run for the presidency.[5]
Interim president[edit]
On 12 December 2011, the Constituent Assembly of Tunisia, a body elected to govern the country and draft a new constitution, elected Marzouki as the interim President of the Tunisian Republic, with 155 votes for, 3 against, and 42 blank votes.[11][12] Blank votes were the result of a boycott from the opposition parties, who considered the new mini-constitution of the country an undemocratic one.
On 14 December, one day after his accession to office, he appointed Hamadi Jebali of the moderate Islamist Ennahda Movement as Prime Minister.[13] Jebali presented his government on 20 December.[14]
On 3 May 2012, Nessma TV owner Nabil Karoui and two others were convicted of "blasphemy" and "disturbing public order". The charges stemmed from the network's decision to broadcast a dubbed version of the 2007 Franco-Iranian film Persepolis, which includes several visual depictions of God. Karoui was fined 2,400 dinars for the broadcast, while the station's programming director and the president of the women's organization which provided dubbing for the film were fined 1,200 dinars.[15] Responding to the verdict, Marzouki stated to members of the press in the presidential palace in Tunis, "I think this verdict is bad for the image of Tunisia. Now people in the rest of the world will only be talking about this when they talk about Tunisia."[16]
In March 2014 President Marzouki lifted the state of emergency that has been in place since the outbreak of a popular revolution three years ago, and a top military chief said soldiers stationed in some of the country's most sensitive areas will return to their barracks. The decree from President Marzouki said the state of emergency ordered in January 2011 is lifted across the country immediately. The state of emergency was imposed by longtime President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and maintained after he was overthrown. It was repeatedly renewed.[17]
In April 2014, he cut his pay by two-thirds, citing the state's need to be a model in dealing with the deteriorating financial situation.[18]
Personal life[edit]
From a first marriage, Moncef Marzouki has two daughters: Myriam and Nadia. In December 2011, during a private civil ceremony in Carthage Palace, he married Beatrix Rhein, a French physician.[19]

Week four is here, and the Jets open a stretch of a tough couple of games tomorrow when they host the San Francisco 49ers at MetLife Stadium. Both teams enter the game with a 2-1 record. The Jets are coming off their 23-20 OT win in Miami last week, while the 49ers are coming off being upset by the Vikings in Minnesota, 24-13. It should be an interesting game as both teams are built to do similar things, run the football and play tough defense. Let's take a look at the history between these two teams:
The Jets and 49ers have faced off 11 times, with San Francisco winning 9 of them. The last time these two teams faced each other was December 7, 2008 in San Francisco, when the 49ers topped the Jets 24-14. The last time the Jets hosted the Niners at home they won, October 17, 2004, when Curtis Martin rushed for 111 yards and 2 TDs as the Jets beat the 49ers 22-14. Here are some keys to the game:
The Jets' run defense has been uncharacteristically bad in 2012. Running backs like CJ Spiller and Reggie Bush have broken off large chunks against the Rex Ryan defense so far. Frank Gore is a back that is accustomed to breaking off big chunks, averaging 5.9 yards per carry so far this year. We talked during the week about the Jets front seven getting blown off the football last week. The holes were so big, you could drive a truck through them, and that was against the Dolphins. This week, they go up against a team that was one step away from last year's Super Bowl. The Jets have to be "gap sound", and not let Frank Gore get out of the blocks. It could be a long day if this guy runs free.
We talked about this during the week, but it bares repeating. This is the type of guy that has given the Jets fits. Davis likes to roam free down the seams of the field, and when he does, it's trouble. Nobody lays a glove on this guy, and he gets to do what he wants. In order to beat this guy, the Jets have to hit him early, and hit him often. The rules allow a receiver to be bumped within the first 5 yards. The Jets need to use this rule to their advantage. They have to bump him off of his routes, every time. If they don't, Vernon will burn them all day long.

National Theatre, temporary theatre
Time Out says
Posted: Wed Apr 17 2013
The latest, temporary addition to the National Theatre family is this striking temporary structure in front of the main building (occupying the area normally take up by Watch This Space, which is taking the summer off). A replacement for the Cottesloe – which is currently being done up, and will reopen next year as the Dorfman – the temporary theatre is a more intimate black box studio, with a seating capacity of just 200 and no backstage area to speak of. It sports a hipper, more lo-fi programme than the Cottesloe, with acclaimed visiting shows and experimental original work. Initially intended to stay on the south bank for a year, the temporary theatre was initially called The Shed, but the rights to the name lapsed at the end of April 2014. Ironically its longeivity has led to it being renamed the 'temproary theatre', though a better title is apparently imminent.

Upon reflecting further about the
minimum wage law government-mandated wage floor that guarantees reduced employment opportunities for America's teenagers and low-skilled workers during a conference at AEI today titled "Minimum wage or earned income tax credit: Which helps the poor more?" I thought of two reasons (in addition to many others) that a mandated price control in the form of a minimum is a bad idea:
1. Even advocates of the minimum wage can never provide any convincing, solid economic reasoning to support why a specific minimum wage is the "correct" or "optimal" mandated wage. One panelist today, a minimum wage proponent who signed this letter calling for a minimum wage hike to $10.10 per hour by 2016, expressed concern that $10.10 might be too high and he might be more comfortable with a mandated wage closer to $9 per hour.
But where does a minimum wage of $10.10 (or $9) per hour come from? Economic theory? Economic reasoning? Economic logic? Regression analysis? No. It comes from….. well it comes from….. OK, to be really honest, it's just a made up number by politicians, with no basis in economic reality. Economists who are minimum wage proponents will try to justify the arbitrary number "picked from the air" by politicians and talk about inflation-adjusted comparisons to previous years or decades, like the inflation-adjusted high of a $10.66 per hour (in 2013 dollars) minimum wage in 1968. But why is that the "right" wage and the "right" year to use for comparison? It's just another arbitrary minimum wage from another era.
Bottom Line 1: Minimum wage proponents can never satisfactorily answer the questions: Why is $10.10 the "correct" or "optimal" minimum wage? How did you arrive at $10.10 hour – what analysis was used? How do you know $10.10 per hour is the "optimal" minimum wage and not $9.95, $10.15, $10.50, $8.50, $12.50, $4.00, $0.00 or $85 per hour? Does $10.10 per hour accurately account for all of the costs (reduced employment opportunities) and benefits (higher wages for some) of that specific minimum wage, and are those net benefits greater than all other possible minimum wages?
The very fact that minimum wages are ultimately completely arbitrary, and not based on any convincing, sound economic analysis, means they cannot really be taken seriously. Or at the very least, because they are mandated price controls that deviate from market-determined wages, artificially-determined minimum wages have to be distortionary.
2. Let's suspend economic reality for a moment and assume that politicians (and some economists) can determine some optimal federal minimum wage, e.g. $10.10 per hour, that will universally apply to all 50 states and the thousands of cities within those states. How can that federally-mandated minimum wage be the "correct" or "optimal" minimum wage for every labor market in all 50 states? Because of the wide variation in the cost of living across the United States, there is no way that a single minimum wage can possibly be optimal in every labor market in the country.
For example, the table above shows what the minimum wage should be in various cities around the country to be equivalent on a cost-of-living basis to a $10.10 per hour minimum wage in Des Moines (using BankRate's cost of living calculator). The minimum wage would have to be almost $18 per hour in San Francisco and almost $25 per hour in New York City to afford a low-skilled worker in those cities the same standard of living as $10.10 per hour in Des Moines. Surely, a federally-mandated "optimal" minimum wage of $10.10 per hour can't possibly be optimal for all cities in America, which vary widely in housing costs and other costs of living.
Bottom Line 2: Not only is a minimum wage of $10.10 per hour completely arbitrary, but it is completely meaningless because it's not adjusted for the wide divergence in the cost of living around the country. Of course, many states have mandated minimum wages above the federal minimum wage, like New York (currently $8.00 per hour), but how can that be optimal and consistent for the entire state and every regional labor market?
Challenge: Even proponents of the minimum wage would have to admit that regional differences in cost of living and labor market conditions will mean that $10.10 per hour will be too high in some areas and too low in other areas, making it either meaningless or distortionary. In that case, if proponents of the minimum wage can somehow determine that $10.10 per hour is the "correct" or "optimal" minimum wage for the country on average, shouldn't they further support thousands of individual minimum wages across the country that vary by city, based on differences in the cost of living and the unique supply/demand conditions in each labor market? That is, a single "optimal" minimum wage of $10.10 per hour can't possibly be "optimal" for every market and is therefore ineffective unless adjusted on a city-by-city basis across the country.
Update: The table above now shows the minimum wage of $10.10 per hour adjusted for the cost of living relative to: a) Des Moines in the middle column as in the original post and c) New York City in the new column on the rights. Thanks to Warren Meyer (Coyote Blog) for his suggestion in an email:
I don't think it is compelling to say that a minimum wage of $10.10 that might be right in Des Moines is too low for NYC due to cost of living. I would have written it the other way – a minimum wage that might seem OK to policymakers sitting in New York or Washington is way too high in Des Moines. I think this is more compelling because the problem of a price floor is not too bad if the floor is set too low, only if the floor is set too high. So what will seem like an appropriate minimum wage to east coast policy makers will look 2.5 times larger in the interior — which adds an interesting political dimension as it implies that most of the unemployment effect would be concentrated outside of the coasts and large urban areas, i.e. in red states.

Be Your Own Pet - The Kelly Affair
So I'm clearly clocking this one in late, and for that I'm sorry. I guess this one will have to go out to all the late-night Tumblrites. Are you reading this with Delilah's voice? Or maybe a random sultry late-night R&B radio jockey's? Either one works with me. Really. So here's one of my old favorites from Be Your Own Pet (who disbanded back in '08) and I hope you can forgive me for my sin, for I have failed to trespass against your ears in a timely fashion.

- Release Date: Sep 17, 2013
- Also On: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One
- Summary: Los Santos is a vast, sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and once-important, formerly-known-as celebrities. The city was once the envy of the Western world, but is now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and reality TV. Amidst the chaos, three unique criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster in search of real opportunities and serious cheddar; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Quickly running out of options, the crew risks it all in a sequence of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.… Expand

Oct 24, 2013GTA V fulfills the idea of a gaming sandbox, where you can entertain yourself in many different ways - and also experience a superbly written story of three gangsters, if you want. [Issue#234]
Sep 16, 2013GTA5 does much more than repeat the San Andreas model, introducing many new features in the franchise. From those, the one that adds a whole new dimension to the game is the fact that for the first time we have three main characters instead of one. GTA is the king of controversy... long live the king.
Sep 16, 2013Rockstar shows one more time how to build a masterpiece. GTA V is not perfect but has everything you'll ever dream in a sandbox game. San Andreas is gorgeous and full of life, Trevor, Michael and Franklin are a trio full of charisma and the game simply raises the bar in so many aspects you won't believe that it runs on an eight years old hardware. It's worth your money, it's worth you time.
Sep 22, 2013Marrying gameplay brilliance to compelling characters and a world matched only in size by the number of things you can do in it, Grand Theft Auto V is a masterpiece--one of the greatest games ever made.
Sep 16, 2013San Andreas is vast and sprawling and so much fun to explore. There are thousands of things to do and hundreds of missions, so this will not be a quick playthrough.
Sep 19, 2013Grand Theft Auto V is a gargantuan accomplishment, with an emphasis on the word "gargantuan." It may still have an assortment of inconsistencies, idiosyncrasies and eccentricities, but one could argue that such missteps still give this franchise a singular character.
Oct 7, 2013Grand Theft Auto 5 is easily more likable than its predecessor, striking a better, more consistent tone than GTA4. Whereas Liberty City shifted jarringly from dire seriousness to slapstick, GTA5 is largely a purely fun, interweaving story of reluctant friendship amid shady activities.
Score distribution:
Positive: 547 out of 710
Mixed: 61 out of 710
Negative: 102 out of 710
Sep 17, 2013Perfect Game for the Current Generation.
I played a lot of games with a lot of hype built around it, and I'd say this is the first game to truly exceed my extremely high expectations! Everything R* tried to accomplish, they hit a bullseye with. The scope of Los Santos is the largest of any game made, period. The world is full of possibilities and things to do, unlike GTA IV, and it is endlessly fun like GTA San Andreas. The characters are the most developed and interesting in this one than all of GTA (Next to Niko Bellic). The story has some of the best set pieces and hilarious interactions, seriously, this is one of the funniest games I've ever played. Playing the game is exhillieratingly fun and Epic, everything feels refined and realistic such as the Car driving which is now completely enjoyable.
The score is brilliant, graphics breathtaking, gameplay over the top ridiculously fun and the amount of hours you spend on the game just flys by. This is not only my favourite in the GTA franchise, but one of my favourite games of all time.
You done it again Rockstar Games, job well done!… Expand
Sep 21, 2013The missions are varied and highly entertaining. They aren't all just repetitive shooting missions like in GTA 4. And there are some really cool heist missions.
The driving is fluid and fun, more like the driving in the PS2 games.
The side activities like tennis, golf, shooting range are all very fun. Tennis is my favourite.
There are many weapons and cars, and both are customizable.
There is a huge world to explore, with submarine, planes, bicycles and much more.
Money is useful in this game, and it is fun to work your way up to millionaire status
GTA V is more like GTA San Andreas than GTA 4, I personally found GTA 4 disappointing but this game brought back the "fun factor". Everything is just excellent, whether your playing missions or just messing around, its super fun.

Sep 29, 2013Great game... a "must have".
You allways have something to do in this game, the scores are great.

Dec 15, 2013Grand Theft Auto is by far my favourite series type of game but, I have to say Grand Theft Auto V has really made an improvement! from driving or just walking around free-roaming, ect The single player of this game is really great, it has alot of potential and it is alot of fun and I loved it! Although, the online is not the best but, it's alright in my opinion, reason being is that random people randomly kill you for no reason, it takes too long to get an upgrade and in my opinion it's just too hard, and really? 16 player maximum in a huge fricken map? the only thing I really do in GTA Online is do Survival games, I do it mainly for fun when i'm bored and it actually is entertaining for me! and don't mean to alarm anyone but, I just don't know why people think that this game is really bad???? maybe it's because they never really give it a chance, they were just like yeah screw this game and left it at that, yeah that's real mature, I am just ashamed on how people can be so negative these days. Anyways, there should really be heists pretty soon tho, not next year, I just think that's ridiculous! The only reason I wanted to play GTA Online in the first place was to play heists in it but, since it hasn't even been released yet I guess I can't. plus I don't even play this game all that much anymore, some may say that it has got boring and it may be too good to be true but, it is in fact true.
The reason being that I give this a 9 is that I love GTA for life, I will never hate on it. but it was a bit disappointing, but if you knew me you would know that I am absolutely abscessed with GTA, I have been playing GTA ever since I was 4 years old, and that was when the very first GTA game was out at that time and I have been playing GTA ever since. I have played all GTA games and beat pretty well all of them.
The activities in this game are, meh some are fun some are not as fun but, that's just my own opinion. Now when I play GTA V, the only thing I do is either beat people up or kill people, just for the heck of it. Sometimes I do an activity if I'm bored of killing people.… Expand
Oct 7, 2013The same gta puts you a lot of of mini games and side and you get bored of them in 10 minutes the campign is kinda good but some say its godd the replay but it is not i even found more fun the new game plus of tlou the driving is normal and shooting mechanics sticky and annoying this game is perfect to play with your friends but this game is far from perfect… Expand
Aug 25, 2014Game is nothing short of disappointing.The main characters were dull as a rock.The game has no replay value after u finish it.It's the same game 10 years ago.It's just mindless killing prostitutes,stealing cars and that's it.Very generic and bland story.GTAIV and San Andreas blow this game… Expand

Comments about Washington Redskins NFL Swoopty 9FIFTY Snapback Cap:
Do not expect to receive your order in a reasonable time frame. The product was picked up by the shipper (DHL) the next day following placement of the order and arrived in it's Texas facility within three days where it remained for 10 days before arriving at the destination post office for final delivery to the shipping address. The shipper ignored three emails and LIDS ignored one email requesting information on the shipment tracking. The product was not delivered until a phone call to LIDS finally got results. In addition to the product being overpriced, without a doubt the worst online order I have experienced. I would recommend choosing a different vender when making an online purchase.

She's adopted 11 children, had four biological kids – and Farrow knows she's had her hands full. "I've often thought how presumptuous I was to assume that I could be good enough to be the person that all of them need," she told U.K.'s The Guardian. But despite her family's complexity, she remains blissful. "I have the most wonderful children," she has said. "I've been very, very blessed."

Ed. note: This is the second column in a series by Anonymous Partner focusing on the issues facing women in the legal profession. You can read the first column here.
Biglaw partners sell their time and attention to clients who want legal help. Partners devote plenty of thought and attention to the mechanics of selling — the how, the what, and even the why regarding client's selection of counsel. Biglaw firms rightfully obsess about these issues, spending untold sums on robust marketing departments, consultants, and the like, in the hopes that their partners will magically all become rainmakers (or at least adept "cross-sellers").
But while the how, what, and why of rainmaking get a lot of attention, there is a glaring lack of attention and discussion of the "who" — as in, who are the people making the decisions to purchase the gold-plated services offered by Biglaw. You would think determining the profiles of your target customers, and targeting sales approaches accordingly, would be an important endeavor for a professional-services outfit. You would also think that Biglaw firms would discuss with their current and future rainmakers strategies for appealing to various types of purchasers of Biglaw services. Neither of the Biglaw firms I have been a partner at have done so — at least when it comes to adopting different approaches to pitching female in-house counsel. I would bet my experience is typical.
What does this have to do with "Biglaw Lady Issues"? Easy. While the statistics tell us that women — in part because of the challenges posed by the timeline I discussed last week, among other factors — are not really moving the needle much in terms of becoming Biglaw equity partners, there is no doubt that they are entering Biglaw in substantial numbers, and leaving to take in-house positions — again in substantial numbers. As Old School Partner reminded us, Biglaw is within a lifetime of being a "men's only" club. Those days are over, as are the days when someone like Old School Partner could build a firm of men selling to male-run businesses with exclusively-male in-house counsel. But nobody really talks about the impact that the increasing number of female in-house counsel do (and should) have on Biglaw marketing efforts and client retention. Seems crazy that this is the case….

35-22-30. Measurements of an old-school pinup girl, sure. But my point in raising those numbers is a different one. These numbers can actually be used to highlight the special challenges that most women, in particular those who have or want families, face in Biglaw. I think it is still safe to assume that such women are the majority.
There has been a lot of talk lately about the progress of women in Biglaw, as measured by the amount of equity women partners at Biglaw firms and the like. First things first. Biglaw is no longer a man's club in terms of opportunity. Female associates get hired, and fired, and choose to leave, just like male associates. They get made partner, included on pitches, and in some cases lead their firms. All great — no reason not to tap into the entirety of the human gene pool in order to make more money. Biglaw is a business after all. And there is no dispute that women, at all levels, can contribute to the success of Biglaw — and do.
But in over a decade in Biglaw, I have heard, and seen, horror stories of never-married, very successful professional women, who are desperate to start families, but attract only a parade of gold-diggers, social retards, or other undesirables….

* Do you still have to pay for legal research? I say "yes." You have to pay for it right up until the moment you feel comfortable walking into a partner's office and saying, "This is everything I could find on Google." [Legal Blog Watch]
* Chinese female lawyers in China are amazingly successful compared to their Western counterparts. Theories abound as to why, but I like the theories that blame American children for being whiny brats who need their mommies all the time. [The Careerist]
* One would expect nothing less from Warren Buffett's bodyguard. [Dealbreaker]
* The upside of having children's birthday parties at gun ranges is that the children will get to see natural selection in action. [The Volokh Conspiracy]

It is rather fitting that the day America gets one step closer to finding out who will become The Voice, we get one step closer to understanding the male/female dynamic at small law firms. Well, at least we get to see the results of what over 200 small-firm attorneys have to say about what happens at their firms. Last week, I asked you to take a survey, now I've got some results.
Some of the results I would have predicted, but some results were surprising.
As most of you may have noticed from the tone of the survey, I assumed (based on personal experience that turns out to be the exception, not the rule) that there were very few small-firm female partners, the ones who were partners worked full-time and had delegated child-rearing to someone else. To my surprise, the survey suggests that the majority of small firms have female partners (63.6%). And, the women are adequately represented (22% of those surveyed work at firms where females make up 25% of the partners).
Let's unpack some more numbers…
Last week, I asked you all to take a survey about whether or not small-firm attorneys can work part-time (and if so, whether they are all mothers, which in turn implicates the unspoken question of whether or not there is any worth to having part-time working moms at small law firms). Yes, it was a loaded survey. Unfortunately, only 122 of you responded. I need more of you to take the survey. And the universe wants you to take the survey.
How do I know this? Since last week, we have learned some important lessons….

As mentioned yesterday in Non-Sequiturs, the white-shoe law firm of Milbank Tweed, in a recent press release about its new partnership class, gave a special shout-out to Atara Miller. It identified Miller as "likely the only Orthodox Jewish woman partner at a major Wall Street firm" (emphasis in the original).
The release continued: "Milbank has four other Orthodox partners who cope with the same issues, but each of them has a wife to run the household and children, while Ms. Miller takes on those duties at home."
A big shot in Biglaw, and a baleboste to boot — that's nice, very nice. But is it accurate to assert that Miller is unique?

Word on the street is that people have been saying that I'm "anti-woman." Apparently, I might as well get in touch with Al Bundy and join NO MA'AM. And while sitting around drinking booze and going to strip clubs would be fun, it's just not my thing. I'm sorry to disappoint our readers, but I'm not anti-woman. I'm anti-stupidity.
Women in Biglaw: good. Women in Biglaw being nasty to others: bad. Breastfeeding in general: good. Breastfeeding in court: bad. The point is that I don't have to be a knee-jerk feminist to be in favor of women's rights.
And in the latest round of woman-related stupidity, it turns out that religion is still trumping women's reproductive rights at a highly-ranked law school in the New York metropolitan area. So, which school is denying its women access to birth control?
Continue reading "Which Law School Needs to Give Thanks for Birth Control?"
Being a woman is a tough job, especially when you're working in a Biglaw atmosphere. Among the long list of things that Biglaw women have to worry about — making partner v. making dinner, picking up documents v. picking up the kids, cleaning up the house v. cleaning up a brief — being cordial to coworkers sometimes tends to fall by the wayside.
So ladies, have you been wondering why your legal secretary avoids eye contact with you at all costs? Or in the alternative, have you been wondering why your legal secretary is giving you a look of death? Here, let me give you a clue: it's because your legal secretary secretly hates you.
A new study has revealed, however, that maybe it's not such a secret after all….

As the global leader in providing high quality technological innovative solutions to a variety of industries, Laird is always improving and enhancing these components and systems to industry-leading standards.
Virtual Tool Allows Design Engineers to Download 2D Drawings and 3D Models in All Conventional CAD Formats
Laird Technologies, a global leader of critical components and systems for advanced electronics and wireless products, announced its new Virtual Design Tool for Fabric-over-Foam EMI shielding gasket products. The new web-based tool offers customers an interactive online catalog that allows users to easily configure, view and seamlessly download 2D drawings and 3D models directly into their designs in all conventional CAD formats.
Laird Technologies' Virtual Design Tool is ideal for design engineers because users can configure Fabric-over-Foam EMI shielding gaskets using the tool's drop-down menus and then immediately download a CAD file. The tool ties directly to the company's EMI Essentials catalog so users have access to many of the standard Fabric-over-Foam EMI shielding gaskets listed in the catalog. The tool also allows customers the capability to request a quote for any Fabric-over-Foam EMI shielding gasket that is configured and downloaded.
"One of the great things about this web-based tool is that it eliminates the time-consuming process of searching through a paper catalog for the correct part number and then modeling the identified part from scratch," said Sean Honer, Fabric-Over-Foam product manager. "The tool streamlines a process that took one to two hours to a few minutes allowing the design engineer at the customer to complete their designs faster."
Customers worldwide have access to the online tool and can configure the parts in either metric or English measurements. The tool is available now by accessing www.lairdtech.com.

Born: July 5, 1913 | Died: October 7, 1966
Smiley Lewis was one of the big R&B stars to come out New Orleans in the 1950's. Born in DeQuincey, Louisiana, with the given name of Overton Lemons, he moved to New Orleans in his mid-teens, equipped with a big, booming voice and some guitar skills. he played clubs in the French Quarter, often with pianist Tuts Washington (and sometimes billed as Smiling Lewis). By 1947, his following was strong enough to merit a session for DeLuxe Records, which issued his debut 78, "Here Comes Smiley." Then Lewis signed with Imperial in 1950, debuting with Tee-Nah-Nah and things began to move....

The New England Patriots make some surprising moves in the offseason and this time around they traded away their Pro Bowl guard to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for TE Tim Wright and a draft pick, per Jay Glazer. The draft pick still has not been announced, but that is a bold move by the Patriots.
Bill Belichick loves to stockpile those draft picks. He just added a new piece to his puzzle and sent over their Pro Bowl guard off. The Buccaneers were looking for some help up front and even brought in Richie Incognito in for a visit yesterday. The team likely will pass on signing Incognito now that they have a Pro Bowl player in the trenches.
How is Tom Brady going to feel about this move? The team gave up some beef up front in order to add a tight end with some speed and a draft pick. Who knows what Tim Wright is going to be on this roster? We all know what Mankins can do.
Bill Belichick bring on another Rutgers player.

Regarding the Kentucky article "Should felons be able to vote?" (Feb. 20), are our prison systems called "Departments of Corrections" for naught? If they truly provided meaningful rehabilitation, there would never be a problem with returning full citizenship status to anyone who has paid his debt to society. Unfortunately, this rarely happens. Prison reform will not come cheap, but it is more cost effective than the present alternatives.

"Turn on the air!" You squeal as you slide into the back seat of the car, your face red and your teeth chattering from the London winter.
"Alright, alright!" Phil scampers into the driver's seat and jams the key into the ignition, furiously twisting dials and flipping switches on the dashboard. You shiver slightly, and look over as a shoulder bumps up against yours. Dan is calmly buckling himself into the seat next to you; their other friend Brian has taken the passenger chair. You rub your hands together, trying to warm them up as Phil turns out of the parking place, starting down the snow covered streets. He and Brian start up a quiet chatter, and Dan looks over at you, hunched over and shivering still.
"Are you cold, then?" he smiles, and you just glare at him. He chuckles, flicking your nose.
"You're adorable." He murmurs, snaking his arm around your shoulders and pulling you in. You lay your head on his shoulder gingerly, snuggling up to him and breathing in his warmth. His hand holds one of yours, and he plays with your fingers gently, his thumb tracing circles on your skin. You smile despite yourself, closing your eyes, starting to feel sleepy with the combined heat of the air conditioning and your boyfriend cuddled against you and the back and forth lull of the car on the road.
And your eyes blink sleepily open as you register that he's saying your name softly in your ear. You shake your head slightly, looking at him.
"Here, we're home." he whispers, reaching over you to unbuckle your seatbelt. You groan in frustration, something in your foggy brain refusing to get up. Instead you latch onto him, pushing him over amid Dan's protests until you're lying flat on the car seat. You hear him laugh softly and he seems to relax his body as if to say 'oh well.' You slip back into sleep.
And you wake up in bed, sunlight streaming weakly through the window.

if so drop by my submit or ask box!
It was February 15th 2012 and my friends had just gotten me a dildo for my 18th birthday! When I got it I know when I am going to use and who's dick I am going to pretend it is. I was home alone and was so horny. I took out the dildo and pretended it was Justins cock. I shoved it in and out of my mouth. I made my self gag a thousands times because that is what I want Justin to do to me. I shoved it up my vagina and moved it around. What I didn't know was that my roomates recorded me. Ever since that day I was called The Bieber Slut. I love that nickname :)
It was the night of Justin's concert at MSG! I was super excited and got ready to go to the concert! I was having a blast and I was super nervous for OLLG! I wanted to get picked so badly. It was time for the number and I got picked! I was so excited and my heart was racing! I went on stage and Justin was astonished by me! He began to touch me. He grabbed my boobs and touched my ass. He then stopped the concert and closed the curtains. He said to me "I can't take this anymore I need to fuck you". I immediately said yes! He ripped mine and his clothing off and megan to finger me. All of his dancers and band mates got horny and started jacking off. He then started to like my vagina and got deep in there. I tried to whisper to him telling him to pound my pussy. I obviously couldn't do that and I screamed it! He shoved his huge cock up my pussy and fucked me senseless! All of the background dancers and band mates asked to join. Justin said yes and they took turns fucking me. At the end they all came all over me and justin gave me his number. I met with him the next day and the same thing happened.

Divorce wasn't an easy decision to come to . . . but it was necessary to break away from an unsatisfying relationship.
Defiantly.... I hate that people think they know you by what other people have told the. Excuse me, but I didn't realize they grew up in my shoes. You have no idea about my unless you have been around me. You defiantly don't know what made me that way until you listen to the story.
It's this kind of day for me to blast stupid people who think they know what they're talking about, then run off to someone WHO'S NOT EVEN THEIR FRIEND and try to throw me under the bus
Life is too short to worry about stupid things! Have fun. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down.

Sibal says BJP desperate to win polls, compromising on terrorism and corruption
Union Law Minister Kapil Sibal on Saturday claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ready to compromise everything to win the coming general elections; even it meant changing its stance on the issues of corruption and terrorism.
"The BJP is just chanting the name of Modi for everything. They do not have any ideology of their own. They are willing to take anyone and everyone in the party to win," said Sibal, apparently referring to induction of former controversial JD-U leader Sabir Ali.
"They claim Congress to be corrupt, but are themselves joining hands with corrupt people. They are compromising on everything, be it corruption, or terrorism," he said.
BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi yesterday, hinting at the party's new recruit former (Janata Dal United) leader Sabir Ali tweeted "Terrorist Bhatakal friend join BJP, soon accepting dawood".
The tweet linked Ali to Yasin Bhatkal, the alleged chief of terror group Indian Mujahideen, who was arrested in August last year and therefore has generated a lot of controversy for the party.

At Youth America Grand Prix's gala performance last April, Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev stopped the show. The moment they burst onto the stage in Vasily Vainonen's Flames of Paris, the audience cheered. Their jumps were so high and their pirouettes so insanely uncountable that we kept on yelling. But it was at Vasiliev's first split jeté entournant that the excitement exploded into a deafening roar, such as I have never experienced at City Center—or any other theater. And it wasn't coming from overhead or over yonder; it was right around me. And I was part of it! One simply couldn't sit still.
The surprises kept coming. His variation sported double air turns on a dangerous-looking tilt, and the coda had her whizzing through single-double fouettés—with triples occasionally thrown in. But Osipova and Vasiliev are not simply tricksters. She has as much air as fire in her dancing, and he modulates his timing so that you see his heart as well as his triumphs. In this, their U.S. debut as a pair, they emerged as dazzlers.
