WCCO inks Timberwolves deal, loses Wild broadcasts to KFAN
Time to play spin the radio dial, sports fans.
WCCO-AM said today it's signed the Timberwolves to a four-year radio deal, snatching the hapless hoopsters way from longtime broadcasting partner KFAN.
KFAN, meanwhile, has signed a three-year deal with the Wild, pulling the hockey team away from the Good Neighbor.
That's what you call fighting to a tie.
"We really, really like the fact that the reach of WCCO is incredible. As we grow our franchise, we see ourselves more and more of a regional team," Wolves president Chris Wright told the Strib. [WCCO has posted audio of a longer interview with Wright here.]
It's a second round of radio shuffling between KFAN and WCCO this year. The University of Minnesota announced in early March that Gophers football coverage would move from WCCO to KFAN, while Hubbard Broadcasting's 1500 AM ESPN Radio picked up the men's and women's basketball, and men's hockey games.

Our former Outreach Manager, Kate West, used to make jokes all the time when she'd witness you doing something and feeling proud or accomplished, saying "empowering [name] through [activity]!" For example, "Empowering Sophia through Excel budgets!" It's a riff on our old tagline, Empowering Youth Though Action Sports, the irony being that while STOKED is a youth development organization, it develops and empowers our staff as well. Even in the most mundane activities, like learning some new flashy chops in Excel.
Keeping in mind the perspective that the more educated, with it, and knowledgeable our staff is the better our work will be, we've started a new professional development initiative here in the office: STOKED Reading Club. (Note that, unlike traditional book clubs, this one isn't optional.) While we don't have quite the bandwidth to follow Google's 20% Rule, we're making a deliberate effort to take time to make ourselves better at our jobs. That means that each Tuesday I, a self-diagnosed nerd and scavenger for information in any way pertaining to STOKED's work and industry, select an article that I've come across and send it to our staff, both in NYC and LA. We all then have one week to read, digest and wax philosophical in a group email chain, sharing our thoughts and response to the reading.
The result will soon be a re-energized, more learned staff better prepared to do what we do. We also hope that this will inspire our community to follow suit, joining the Reading Club and contributing to the discussion.
– Sophia, Senior Program Manager
This Week's Reading: "No Child Left Untableted" from the New York Times Magazine.
Some STOKED Offerings:
"What will this do to the student? If the average middle schooler spends seven plus hours a day staring at a screen outside of school, adding more screen time to their school day is not healthy. So much is learned through social interactions, I cannot help but think putting a tablet in a child's hand would decrease personalization and increase isolation. I have seen a good amount of kids who join Stoked who are painfully shy. By the end of the season, program, or whatever it may be, they are speaking in front of groups of 30 or more people like it's no big deal. If we put a tablet in their hands rather than encouraging these group interactions, they probably wouldn't push themselves to break out of their shell.
When all is said and done, the educational benefits of new technology depend on good teaching. If it is so easy to find the money for cool, new technology, then why is it so hard to find the money for good teachers?"
– Kat, Program Manager, Los Angeles
"While I feel that an adaptive learning platform for students does give rise to a more personalized educational experience, I don't feel that our educational system is ready to make use of these tools. Sure there are some public schools that are performing pretty well and could roll in the use of a new educational tool to keep down the cost and weight of textbooks. What about the majority of city public schools which do not have any art or theater classes? What about the teacher hiring freezes and lack of unions, contracts and worker protections that are preventing people from wanting to become top notch teachers?"
– Stu, Office Coordinator, New York
"Also it remains that lazy students will be lazy until they are engaged, and that's a lot more complicated than giving them a toy. A human has to do it… Fancy tablets should be given to students that show that they are already achieving or on the road too, there should be either a test to qualify or an application. You can't give tablets to kids who need humans more than anything."
– Coach Barry, New York
"I'm all for finding new ways to engage youth in the classroom, but I think that this initiative is just feeding a booming tech industry. The idea that youth can be spending more time using machines, and less time having face-to-face interactions scares me… This tablet program means well, but the real concern should be working to adequately train teachers and help them find creative ways to engage students and measure progress, not yet another way to have the 50 minute class pass as quickly as possible."
– Hannah, Program Manager, New York

Coming soon!
Grounded in core principles of positive psychology, iThrive is facilitating the development of engaging, evidence-based digital games that help teens more successfully navigate the path to adulthood.
Adolescence is an immensely stressful time as teens struggle to find their identity, develop healthy relationships, navigate increasingly demanding academic environments and complicated social situations, and discover what role they wish to play in their communities. iThrive is a bold new approach to reaching teens that will help adolescents not just survive, but thrive, by repurposing a medium most of them already favor – digital games.
By teaching skills such as empathy, gratitude, resilience, persistence and mindfulness, positive psychology-informed activities can provide adolescents with tools for addressing the various stressors that confront them at school, at home, and in their communities.
iThrive is taking a three-pronged approach to creating a vibrant, cooperative, data-driven eco-system to strengthen adolescent well-being with games.
- Involve Youth as "Prosumers": iThrive is involving youth and youth organizations in all activities, including inspiring a new generation of youth game developers with the principles and techniques of positive psychology. We are partnering with leading youth organizations so that adolescents and those who work with them every day are integrally involved in supporting the developing, testing, and improvement of games, and their use in a broader context of youth support.
- Pushing forward the Practical Science: iThrive is building a community of youth development and mental health experts, leaders in the psychology of gaming, and game development experts, including partners from leading universities, to develop an efficient, rapid learning and dissemination system that includes a clear positive psychology framework, metrics, and real world testing for game developers to use.
- Facilitating Game Development: iThrive is seeking to find and support games that are effective at promoting positive psychology. We will work with game developers to provide the positive psychology research expertise, exposure, investment, youth involvement and testing, and other factors needed to create effective games (while developers keep their IP). Activities may include public competitions, creative game idea generation, education, public gatherings, co-development of games, and sharing of processes, proposals, and game development practices. The result will be a new and constantly improving system of games that strengthen and support adolescents. iThrive is a non-profit initiative of CRI and will not itself create or own games.

Some Things We Have Done
Remember Me – Kevin Rivera
In the Summer of 2015 iThrive helped lead Columbia College Chicago's High School Summer Institute Intro to Game Development course. During this class, the students learned how to develop video games and designed them around key positive psychology elements. One of those games was Remember Me. Here is what the developer, Kevin Rivera, has to say about the game:
Remember Me is a simplistic free roaming world with 5 simple objectives that each explain the story little by little. The game is supposed to resemble someone battling depression and feeling like life is repeating, desolate, and broken."
If you are on a Windows machine, you can download and play Remember Me here.
iThrive sponsored Columbia College Chicago's annual 24 hour game jam in May 2015! Here is a video highlighting the event.

Op-Ed: Chinese sweatshops - Is anyone liable for anything?
Paul Wallis
Apr 15, 2010 in
I'm sitting here in Australia, using a Microsoft mouse, keyboard, and system. What do I see? Chinese kids getting paid 52c an hour to make these things and some trying to commit suicide. Am I happy about that? I am not.
Microsoft workers in China: 'We are like prisoners'
According to the
National Labor Committee
, Chinese workers are literally being worked to death on 15 hour shifts. They're supposed to make 2000 mice per shift. That's 2.2 a minute. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? This is for $7 a shift. Some are working 80 hour weeks.
They have dorms, steel frame bedrooms in areas like old style offices. There's a notable absence of bling. This includes 15 year old kids. Some of the girls complain about sexual abuse, and one guy committed suicide One girl attempted suicide by jumping off a roof. At least one person was compensated for a beating and "interrogation" over a missing iPhone.
Microsoft and Apple claim to be in the process of dealing with these issues. It must be emphasized that these are not Apple and Microsoft or other affected companies, and that neither corporation is directly responsible in any way for any aspect of the work conditions.
So much for the disclaimer. The ethics and basic levels of competence, however, aren't subject to such niceties, nor is any level of politeness justifiable.
The questions remain:
1. Where were they when this was happening?
2. How and when did they find out?
3. Why didn't they find out sooner?
4. You'd think that even the most debased, mindless corporate cockroach would know there was a strong possibility of a situation like this.
5. There is a level of expectation on major corporates that they have some theoretical understanding of what's acceptable, and that child labor and sweatshops are not acceptable. That's apparently not the case. If it was, they could have acted sooner and far more efficiently to oversight the factories.
6. Is it plausible that America's top corporations have suddenly become so ignorant of situations affecting their products?
You'd have to have been born pretty recently not to be aware of the possibility of abuse of labor laws. These companies are said to "violate every Chinese labor law", (although at least one, KYE, denies it's breached any laws at all).
And nobody knew anything?
It's no news to anyone that the electronics industry is now run by a collection of third rate cheese dip peasants. Gizmos that don't work, shoddy operating systems, total lack of creative imagination, corporate dunghills, prehistoric software, etc., are now the enchanting norm. It goes so well with the obscene slopfest we claim to be a civilization.
But slave labor, too?
For those who've forgotten, that's a massive violation of human rights. Can Western corporations be charged with crimes against humanity on the basis of participation and knowledge of these situations? Or benefiting monetarily from slave labor? Some would say they can and should, and it's major jail time. But will they?
It flies in the face of recent history to believe they will. Slavery in South East Asia is hardly new, and nor are sweatshops in China. It's just that nobody mentions them any more. Mainstream media is more interested in promoting nobodies to celebrity status and getting paid kickbacks.
It's pretty obvious that the real problem for outsourcing corporations has been getting found out. Remember, this outsourcing to China is the same mentality that invented the maquiladoras, and ignored serial killings of Mexican women in the 90s. Human life has yet to have any proven value to outsourcers.
The sick history of recent times to responses on the subject of abuse of human rights is that:
1. There is no problem.
2. There's a problem, but it's not our problem.
3. There's a problem, and it is our problem, and we're not going to do a damn thing until forced to do something by a court.
From which elegant necrotic thinking is derived this procedural blueprint:
1. Nothing is a problem until it makes headlines.
2. When it makes headlines, you can produce a few years' worth of fluff denying everything until you get to court or until it blows over.
3. The political system is so inbred that nothing is an issue unless it donated to the other side.
4. American corporations can commit mass murder, as long as it doesn't affect stock prices, and Washington will do exactly nothing, however much it talks.
Or maybe public relations is the answer to crimes against humanity? Or merchandising or gambling?
A free set of steak knives with every Chinese suicide?
How about a lottery to see how many of them live until they're 20?
Find bits of a Chinese kid in your mouse, win a prize.
As the Chinese say: "Fen, ma?"
Disgusting bloody subhuman bastard scum. Become a billionaire on the basis of kids committing suicide? They must be proud. The fact that nobody will ever really know who these faceless corporate pigs are that come up with these situations and benefit from them are is a damning indictment of the real labor situation on Earth at the moment. Does someone sit down in a meeting and say, "How can we cripple another generation today," or what?
If we wind up with a corporate world where the big three most hated corporations are Microsoft, Apple and Monsanto, I'd say it's time to go back to scratching on rocks.
Either that or the French Revolution, part two.

Is there an online tool to share and track code-snippets between a team of developers?
My team mate is sitting right next to me and GTalk isn't really adequate for pasting larger snippets.
How can I "copy-paste" or drag a source file or snippet to share between coders? It should remember all previous snippets and be available to the whole team. I'd rather not resort to email. Or do I need to roll my own?

More than a year after shelving plans to go public, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts is taking the plunge.
The private equity giant will lay out its plans to investors today. KKR will in effect buy its European affiliate, Amsterdam-listed KKR Private Equity Investors, with new New York Stock Exchange-listed shares. KPE investors will get 21% of KKR's new shares and contigent value rights for additional shares should KKR's stock not perform up to par. The firm and its executives will retain the balance of the shares, with top managers agreeing not to sell their shares for between six and eight years, and about 16% set aside for future distribution to KKR partners and employees.
Under the proposal, KKR would be valued at between $12 billion and $15 billion.
"For K.K.R., this transaction provides us with additional capital for our business," Henry Kravis and George Roberts said Sunday in a statement. "Moving forward with a public listing will allow K.K.R. to do what we do best—grow companies around the world and produce solid returns for our investors from a larger platform and a deeper capital base."
Among the firm's plans are expanded infrastructure, real estate, mezzanine debt and equity investments, in an effort to broaden KKR's asset management base from p.e.
KPE shareholders must approve the deal for the transaction to move forward.
KKR had announced plans last summer to go public, but backed away due to market conditions and the difficulty faced by fellow p.e. firm The Blackstone Group following its public debut.

Dormieul is famous for its ´smooth as silk´ finish of wool suitings and have a lustre to it that exudes High Class Taste and Refinement. A person who wears Dormieul stands out as someone who knows what to wear and how to wear it. You can learn more about fabrics by visiting our Glossary pages or you can do quick Cloth searches using one or more criteria to help pick specific cloth you might be interested in, based on the weight, patterns, content and other requirements. [Top]
Here is a Glossary of Rayon Fabrics
Please make use of our online swatch form to select upto 20 different fabric and colour choices that interest you most so that swatches of these can be mailed over.
You can also order beautiful Style Catalogue of our most popular styles for men and 95 swatches personally hand selected by our Master Tailors - in solids and patterns, from light to mid weights, year round fabrics from our mid to upper range collections.
You would be able to get a $10 discount when placing your next order with us using the swatches shipped to you.
Please use this form to submit your swatch or catalogue requisition request.
Please note that since fabrics from our Heritage Gold Collection and some others are not stocked in our inventory but are sourced from our suppliers in Europe as and when an order in these materials is received, we would regretfully be unable to honour swatch requests for materials in this collection. [Top]
Another difference is that while suit jackets are matched with exactly the same colour as the pants, sports jackets can be any colour and usually with a pattern such as hounds tooth or herringbone or checks and if solids, they are usually very light or very dark colours..never ´in between´ colours. Sports jackets should never be in stripes or prince of Wales checks as these are suitings.
Blazers are always solids and only in dark blue, navy, black, burgundy, dark green, red and white or ivory. Blazers must always have gold or silver buttons while sports jackets should have matching buttons as should suit jackets.
The cut of the three are pretty much similar though sports jackets can never be double breasted.
Blazers can be single or double breasteds and suits too can be single or double breasteds.
Vents are the openings on the back of the jackets. Some call it slits. Classic traditional styles usually have one vent..center vent.. at the back of the jacket.
Very traditional British or 50s and 60s style of jackets have two vents..side vents .. at the back of the jacket and more modern ´Italian cut´ slim styles have no vents at the back of the jacket in which case the hips tend to be a bit on the snug side as well. [Top]
For Men - Height 5 ft 11 inch and above or Chest 46 and above is Big and Tall.
For women – Height 5 ft 10 inch and above of size 12 and above is Large sizes.
Should an order be placed in regular sizing categories and it is found that the sizing is actually big and tall or large sizes, the price differential will automatically be added to the order totals upon processing of the order. [Top]
We recommend for example, fabrics such as 119, 128, 120, 116, 1011 and other silks and linens as ideal for a custom garment in unusual colours.
The fabric search function on the left menu can be used to type in the word " silk " or " linen " without the quote marks to do a quick search for all the materials with unusual colours for your custom garment. If the specific colour you are looking for, is not found at our site, please email us us with the colour requirement so that we can source it for your particular order from our suppliers.
If a white/offwhite/cream/ivory/other colour suit or shirt is required in any of the fabrics, and this colour/colors is not be displayed in the colour palette when choosing the fabric, rest assured that it can be easily sourced from our suppliers.
In the case of white/offwhite/cream/ivory colours for example, please proceed to the appropriate category or collection and select the item you would like to have made. Then select the style you like and on the subsequent page, please select the fabric you wish us to use. Then, for the sake of order placement, Select any colour from the palette if you don�t see a white/offwhite/cream/ivory or your prefered colour available and click on the �order� button to add to your shopping cart. The next page will bring up the special request sections where in the appropriate field, the colour you would prefer, such as a white/offwhite/cream/ivory can be indicated.
All the styles displayed in each of the collections can be made in white/offwhite/cream/ivory per your choice provided the selected fabric has it in stock in our inventory or with our suppliers. Should we find your preferred colour not available, Rest assured, we will be emailing you for advice or instructions.
We will then use your instructions to ignore the selected colour and use the required colour for your custom made garment. [Top]
To identify fabric that is unknown, a simple burn test can be done to determine if the fabric is a natural fiber, man made fiber, or a blend of natural and man made fibers. The burn test is used by many fabric stores and designers and takes practice to determine the exact fiber content. However, an inexperienced person can still determine the difference between many fibers to "narrow" the choices down to natural or man made fibers. This elimination process will give information necessary to decide the care of the fabric.
WARNING: All fibers will burn! Asbestos treated fibers are, for the most part fire proof. The burning test should be done with caution. Use a small piece of fabric only. Hold the fabric with tweezers, not your fingers. Burn over a metal dish with soda in the bottom or even water in the bottom of the dish. Some fabrics will ignite and melt. The result is burning drips which can adhere to fabric or skin and cause a serious burn.
Cotton is a plant fiber. When ignited it burns with a steady flame and smells like burning leaves. The ash left is easily crumbled. Small samples of burning cotton can be blown out as you would a candle.
Linen is also a plant fiber but different from cotton in that the individual plant fibers which make up the yarn are long where cotton fibers are short.
Linen takes longer to ignite. The fabric closest to the ash is very brittle. Linen is easily extinguished by blowing on it as you would a candle.
Silk is a protein fiber and usually burns readily, not necessarily with a steady flame, and smells like burning hair. The ash is easily crumbled. Silk samples are not as easily extinguished as cotton or linen.
Wool is also a protein fiber but is harder to ignite than silk as the individual "hair" fibers are shorter than silk and the weave of the fabrics is generally looser than with silk. The flame is steady but more difficult to keep burning. The smell of burning wool is like burning hair.
The fabrics are some of the best in the world and have a super luxurious finish and hand.
You can learn more about fabrics by visiting our Glossary pages or you can do quick searches using one or more criteria to help pick specific cloth you might be interested in, based on the weight, patterns, content and other requirments, using our Cloth Search function. [Top]
The vicuña is a member of the camel family. It is the smallest of the six species of camel, and is thought to be the wild ancestor of the alpaca. It lives on the high, grassland plateaus of the Andes mountains which range from southern Peru to northern Chile and into parts of Bolivia and Argentina. Only tough bunch grasses and festuca grows here. The sun´s ultraviolet rays burn through the thin atmosphere during the day. At night the heat of the day escapes into the atmosphere and the temperatures go down to freezing.
Although they look fragile, the vicuña is specially adapted to its high-altitude habitat. It has an incredibly thick, soft coat that traps layers of warm air close to its body and protects it from freezing temperatures. The lower teeth of the vicuña grow constantly, like a rodent´s, so they can eat the tough grasses. The vicuña also walks on the soles of its feet so it can flex its toes and grab on to the rocks and gravel-covered slopes. Vicuña milk is very rich so the babies grow quickly.
Vicuñas weigh between 75-140 pounds. They are about 4-6 feet long and stand 2-3 1/2 feet at the shoulders. They have very long necks, round heads, and large, forward facing eyes. Their ears are long and pointed and stand up on their heads. Their fur is a rust color, with white around the muzzle,the chest, belly, and the insides of the legs. The white hair on their chests is longer than their other hair.
Vicuñas graze mostly on grasses. Their teeth are large and grow constantly like those of a rodent. They chew their cud when resting getting more nutrients out of the nutrient poor grass.
Vicuñas are very shy animals and run away very quickly. They have two territories that they defend from other herds; a feeding territory or about 45 acres, and a smaller sleeping area on higher ground where they are more protected. The vicuña live in herds of 5-10 members, which includes one dominant male and several females and their young. They mate in March and April and their young are born 11 months later. The young stay with their mother and the herd for another 10 months, when they are driven off by the herd. Young males will form bachelor groups and the young females try to find another group to join. This ensures that the herd stays the same size, which is important with their limited food supply.
The vicuña was almost hunted to extinction for its beautiful soft wool. The Incas used to round up the wild vicuñas and pen them in stone corrals, where they were sheared for their wool. In modern times they were almost wiped out for their meat and wool. By 1960 there were only 6,000 vicuñas left in the wild. Chile and Peru established protected national parks and put a halt to trade in vicuña wool. Now there are about 125,000 vicuñas, but they are still listed as threatened. The vicuña is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN, and as endangered by the USDI. [Top]

ZS Fund has acquired Amerijet Holdings, an operator of cargo aircraft under the name Amerijet International, along with logistics services subsidiary ITN Worldwide for an undisclosed sum.
Until now, Freightos has focused on helping forwarders quote faster, but since January, the logistics technology provider has been beta testing its China-to-United States marketplace.
Total cargo throughput at the largest French port fell 3 percent to 39.13 million metric tons in the first six months of 2016 as general cargo volumes remained relatively flat and bulk volumes fell compared with the same 2015 period.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
About 450,000 TEUs of capacity is expected to be scrapped in 2016, which would be double the amount scrapped in 2015, according to the London-based shipping consultant Drewry.
The 10,000-TEU MOL Benefactor, currently serving on the G6 Alliance's Asia-U.S. East Coast NYX loop, will be the first container vessel to call a USEC port after transiting the newly opened Panama Canal expansion.
Federal Maritime Commissioner Richard A. Lidinsky Jr. said that ports in the United States must continue to expand and improve to handle rising container volumes in order to stay competitive with neighboring foreign ports.

Have you purchased this item?Write A Review
I brought this because I hit limitations with the kit lens I had got with my SLR. This is a good lens for the price. Macro photography is good with this. Note that 1:2 ratio macro means that things will appear 0.5x times the original size (not 2x times). This lens gives amazing shallow DOF (bokeh effect) at all focal lengths - especially in macro mode. I had read reviews that image gets very soft at 300mm - which is not correct in my experience. The reason is mostly lack of stabilization and if you are pixel peeping - nothing wrong optically. One thing that you should know is that the macro switch is tricky - you can't turn it on till you zoom in to 200mm. After this, the focus ring has extra space to turn - which is what gives the macro ability. But the tricky part is that you need to turn the focus ring to it's normal position to be able to turn the macro switch off. Otherwise it doesn't move and you may think something is wrong with the switch/lens. On the negative side, there is no Image stabilization (can't expect at this price) - so you need steady hands or tripod to use this indoors and in dark.
Excellent lens at such cheap price. So helpful for beginners/armatures who want to try their hands out without spending much. Once you practice to perfection, you can certainly go for an expensive/branded crisp lens. Thnx Sigma !
Good product at a reasonable price
At this price range Sigma APO dg is awesome telephoto lens and amazing Macro.
Yes, it comes with a tripod in a Combo Offer. The Tripod which comes in this combo offer is Photron Stedy Pro 450.

Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN)
Following the identification of ASEAN as a priority region in the 2006 Global Europe Communication, the EU has been actively engaged with the region. Negotiations for a region-to-region FTA with ASEAN were launched in 2007 and paused in 2009 to give way to a bilateral format of negotiation.
These bilateral FTAs were conceived as building blocks towards a future region-to-region agreement. Negotiations with Singapore and Malaysia were launched in 2010, with Vietnam in June 2012 and with Thailand in March 2013. The European Commission finalised the negotiation of a bilateral F T A with Singapore in October 2014.
The EU remains open to start new negotiations with other partners in the region and hopes in the future to complete these agreements with a region-to-regional trade agreement.
Trade picture
ASEAN as a whole represents the EU's 3rd largest trading partner outside Europe (after the US and China) with more than €235 billion of trade in goods and services in 2013.
The EU is ASEAN 3rd largest trading partner after China and Japan, accounting for around 13% of ASEAN trade.
The EU is by far the largest investor in ASEAN countries. EU companies have invested an average €14.8 billion annually in the region (2006-2013).
The EU's main exports to ASEAN are chemical products, machinery and transport equipment. The main imports from ASEAN to the EU are machinery and transport equipment, agricultural products as well as textiles and clothing.

Trade related assistance to ASEAN
The EU also finances regional projects relating to trade such as:
- Enhancing ASEAN FTA Negotiating Capacity Programme
- ASEAN Regional Integration Support Programme (ARISE)
- EU-ASEAN Statistical Capacity Building Programme (EASCAB)
- ASEAN Project on the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights (ECAP III)
Besides the trade negotiations with individual ASEAN members, the EU cooperates closely with the ASEAN region as a whole. Cooperation is maintained through:
- an EU-ASEAN Dialogue which includes discussions on trade and investment issues at ministerial and senior economic officials levels.
- the EU and the ASEAN Secretariat conduct seminars on topics such as regional economic integration, liberalisation of services, technical barriers to trade and trade facilitation.
Trading with ASEAN
- The EU is present on the ground in ASEAN (EU Delegations in Brunei Darussalam, Myanmar/Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam)

MONTVALE, NJ – Locals of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) International Union have ratified modifications to their collective bargaining agreements with the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company Inc. (A&P). The new contracts are an important step toward completing A&P's financial restructuring.
"This agreement with our labor unions marks a significant milestone in our turnaround efforts," said Sam Martin, A&P's president and CEO. "I want to thank our associates for their steadfast commitment to serving our customers throughout this process. As we position the company to emerge from Chapter 11 early next year with a much stronger financial and operating foundation, we intend to continue making operational and service improvements to further enhance the value and in-store experience we provide to our customers."
A&P said the agreement with its labor unions is consistent with, and contemplated by, the previously announced joint financing commitment from The Yucaipa Companies, Mount Kellett and investment funds managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. On Nov. 14, the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York granted approval of the investment agreement, contingent upon successful resolution of A&P's negotiations with its labor unions.
A&P filed a joint Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure Statement with the Court on Nov. 14, which is subject to closing conditions, as well as approval from the company's creditors and the Court. Ratification of the Plan of Reorganization by the company's creditors will enable it to pay secured lenders in full in cash and fund cash recoveries for general unsecured creditors.
During the A&P's exit process, the company intends to continue to operate its stores normally. A&P and its subsidiaries filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions on Dec. 12, 2010.
A&P is one of the nation's first supermarket chains. It operates 336 stores in seven states under the trade names A&P, Waldbaum's, Pathmark, Best Cellars, The Food Emporium, Super Foodmart, Superfresh and Food Basics.

Digging: Michael Formanek - The Distance
Album Rating: 5.0...which means nothing. You don't say someone is not good at what they do based on the bad stuff they've done, especially when the good far outweighs the bad.

Album Rating: 5.0Fuck Kurt Balloucore tbh
Kurt is generally involved in good stuff but I find that his production often sounds the same on many of the records he works on. Can sometimes feel kinda boring.

Digging: Bleak - No Light, No Tunnel
he produced the moon is a dead world tho
Album Rating: 4.5check out Mutoid Man
heard it man bleeder is 8/10 but it's kinda got that same ballou production yet sounds sufficiently different because of the non-hardcore style
btw the riff on "gnarcissist" from the EP is one of the best riffs of all time and i think about it like once a week without even listening to the record do you agree that that riff fuckin rockksssssss?
Album Rating: 4.5hahah for sure man, it kinda reminds me of hocus pocus, but who cares, it rocks m/

Admittedly, they're very funny. But lately my laughter is a bit more nervous. And I ain't joking.
I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves." --Washington, D.C., Sept. 21, 2003
That says it all there. I really can't explian how this guy got elected but his quotes make for some hilarious reading.
Overall-If you ever need to laugh make sure you have this book handy.
Maybe I'm too steeped in adoration for past Presidents? Visiting the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials in D.C., we weep at the beauty of their words-- graceful, thoughtful, far-seeingly eloquent. Who is this man in our White House and what sort of monument and manuscript would capture him? As a patriot, I am alarmed and saddened. Surely, Young George is perfectly charming-- except he's in the highest seat of power in the world! (And "Bushims" is a constant reminder.)
All of this said, these are indeed Yogi Berra-type malapropisms, and the book will be a fine addition to one's guest bathroom-- short, snappy, unbelievable! Goofy pictures accompany the ramblings such as: "I do know I'm ready for this job [the presidency]. And if not, that's the way it goes." Weisberg has inserted a title for each quote. For example, "Arrested For Driving While Reading" is followed by the Bushism: "I mean, there needs to be a wholesale effort against racial profiling, which is illiterate children." Huh?
Well, there it is, the wit and wisdom of George W. Bush. I keep wondering: Does Laura cringe? What are Old George and Barb thinking when he commits these gaffs? Do they feel guilty? Did they do this to us because we didn't re-elect the dad? Truly baffled. I can't believe the former First Lady could have let this man loose. I trusted her. Didn't you?
