Despite its past losses in the U.S. Supreme Court, the plaintiffs' bar's crusade against individualized arbitration marches on. In the past year, powerful allies in federal agencies, such as the National Labor Relations Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as well as friendly media outlets like the New York Times, have helped to advance the backward notion that arbitration is anti-consumer. Federal and state courts in California— trial lawyers' favorite state—continue to be sympathetic to this anti-consumer argument, as evidenced by the decisions a trilogy of cases recently decided by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit: Sakkab v. Luxottica Retail North America, Inc., Hopkins v. BCI Coca-Cola Bottling Co., and Sierra v. Oakley Sales Corp. Continue reading
Update: NLRB Continues its Opposition to Class-Action Arbitration Waivers
A December 10, 2015 WLF Legal Pulse post, Rebuffed Twice in Texas, the NLRB Takes its Crusade Against Arbitration to California, highlighted a pattern of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decisions holding that binding class-action arbitration agreements violate the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), even though the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has twice overruled such a decision.
It seems as though the NLRB's determination to march forward has not wavered. Just two weeks ago, in In re: Samsung Electronics America, Inc., the NLRB upheld a decision by an administrative law judge that Samsung violated the NLRA by requiring its employees to waive their rights to pursue collective claims and then attempting to enforce that agreement.
It is clear that the NLRB does not respect federal courts' differing legal opinion as to the interpretation of the NLRA. Unfortunately, employers will now need to invest energy and resources to appeal individual NLRB decisions until the Board changes its current aggressive anti-arbitration stance.
DirecTV Inc. v. Imburgia: The Supreme Court's Latest Word on Arbitration and Federal Preemption
Featured Expert Contributor – Civil Justice/Class Actions
By Frank Cruz-Alvarez, Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (co-authored with Rachel A. Canfield, an associate with the firm)
Last week, in a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed and remanded a California Court of Appeal's interpretation of and refusal to enforce an arbitration agreement. Justice Breyer delivered the Court's well-reasoned opinion, which concluded that the California court's arbitration-specific interpretation of contractual language was preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"). DirecTV Inc. v. Imburgia, et al.
Petitioner DirecTV entered into service agreements with certain customers. Although governed by the FAA, the agreement's arbitration provision contained a class-action waiver which rendered the entire provision unenforceable if the waiver clause was deemed unenforceable under the law of the customer's state. Seeking damages for early termination fees that allegedly violated California law, respondents Amy Imburgia and Kathy Greiner filed suit against DirecTV in California state court. Continue reading
Rebuffed Twice in Texas, the NLRB Takes its Crusade Against Arbitration to California
After successive defeats at the hands of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has taken its crusade against class-action arbitration agreements to California. In a recent decision, Bristol Farms, the NLRB once again held that an arbitration agreement that would require individual arbitration violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
Over a strong dissent, the NLRB reasoned that an agreement requiring individual arbitration—even if the agreement was optional—prevents employees from engaging in protected activities (collective action) and thus is an unfair labor practice in violation of NLRA § 8(a)(1): "[A]n arbitration agreement that precludes collective action in all forums is unlawful even if entered into voluntarily, because it requires employees to prospectively waive their Section 7 right to engage in concerted activity."

The California Supreme Court's Iskanian Opinion: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
Guest Commentary
by Kirk C. Jenkins, Sedgwick LLP*
On June 26, 2014, the California Supreme Court issued its long-awaited opinion in Iskanian v. CLS Transportation Los Angeles LLC. The decision was something of a mixed bag for the defense bar: two major steps forward in the California Supreme Court's class action jurisprudence, but one step back of uncertain significance.
The plaintiff in Iskanian worked as a driver for the defendant in 2004 and 2005. Halfway through his employment, he signed an agreement providing that "any and all claims" arising out of his employment would be submitted to binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator. The plaintiff agreed not to bring a representative action either in court or before the arbitrator.
A year after leaving his employment, the plaintiff filed a putative class action complaint, alleging failure to pay overtime, provide meal and rest breaks, reimburse business expenses and various other violations of the Labor Code. The defendant moved to compel arbitration and the trial court granted the motion. But while the matter was pending before the Court of Appeal, the California Supreme Court decided Gentry v. Superior Court, holding that most class action waivers were unenforceable in employment cases. The defendant dropped its motion to compel. Continue reading
Supreme Court Observations: BG Group PLC v. Republic of Argentina
The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a divided opinion in a case that raised an important issue of arbitration law: should an arbitrator or a judge decide whether an international treaty requires a private party to bring a commercial dispute before a judge prior to attempting arbitration? In BG Group PLC v. Republic of Argentina, the Court ruled 7-2 against Argentina, concluding that arbitrators acted within their power when they concluded that a British firm was not required to file suit in Argentina's courts before seeking arbitration. Chief Justice Roberts, joined by Justice Kennedy, dissented; they argued that in signing the bilateral UK-Argentina investment treaty, Argentina agreed to arbitration only on condition that investors bring their disputes to an Argentine court first. But there was one point on which the justices agreed unanimously: Argentina has a sorry history of living up to its contractual commitments to investors. That point of agreement does not bode well for Argentina, which in two pending Supreme Court cases is asking the Court to permit it to invoke sovereign immunity as the basis for resisting repayment of sovereign debt.
The case involved claims by a British firm, BG Group plc, that Argentina breached a natural gas distribution contract. Washington, D.C.-based arbitrators awarded BG Group $185 million in damages, and Argentina turned to American courts to overturn the award. It cited the terms of the UK-Argentina treaty as the basis for its claim that the arbitrators lacked jurisdiction to hear the case. The treaty provides that an investor asserting a claim under the treaty may not initiate arbitration until 18 months after filing a claim against Argentina in an Argentine court.
The arbitrators held that BG Group should be excused from complying with the 18-month litigation requirement. They noted that Argentina, after taking steps that essentially expropriated BG Group's property, adopted a series of laws designed to block any BG Group lawsuit. They held that these laws, "while not making litigation in Argentina's courts literally impossible, nonetheless hindered recourse to the domestic judiciary to the point where the Treaty implicitly excused compliance with the local litigation requirement."

Fifth Circuit Overturns NLRB in D.R. Horton Arbitration Case
Guest Commentary
by Gerald L. Maatman, Jr. and Lily M. Strumwasser, Seyfarth Shaw LLP
Last week the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit delivered welcome news to employers and practitioners of labor and employment law. After years of heated debate regarding whether employers are permitted to use bilateral arbitration to resolve employment disputes, the Fifth Circuit answered with a resounding "yes." In D.R. Horton, Inc. v. NLRB, No. 12-60031 (5th Cir. Dec. 3, 2013), the Fifth Circuit reversed the National Labor Relations Board's ("NLRB") 2012 ruling and held that employers and employees are permitted to resolve disputes through individual rather than class or collective arbitration.
Laying The Groundwork – The NLRB's Decision
As we wrote about here last year for Washington Legal Foundation, in this case, a former employee of D.R. Horton filed an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB, alleging that a class action waiver contained in his arbitration agreement with D.R. Horton violates the NLRA. Based on the employee charge, the NLRB's General Counsel issued a complaint alleging that D.R Horton's arbitration agreement violated Section 8(a)(1) of the NLRA by infringing the right of D.R. Horton's employees to exercise their rights under Section 7 of the NLRA, which provides that employees may "engage in . . . concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection."
In a two-member majority of the three-member Board, the NLRB held that because the arbitration agreement directly infringes on the substantive Section 7 rights of D.R. Horton's employees, it necessarily fails. The Board rejected the suggestion that Section 7 rights are procedural and not substantive. The Board drew a critical distinction between the process of certifying a class of employees (which it conceded is procedural in nature) and the "collective action inherent in seeking class certification," which it held is a substantive right under Section 7.

Shadow of Callimachus by Richard Hunter
Book DescriptionThrough a series of critical readings this book builds a picture of the Roman reaction to, and adoption of, the Greek poetry of the last three pre-Christian centuries. Although the poetry of the greatest figure of Greek poetry after Alexander, Callimachus of Cyrene, and his contemporaries stands at the heart of the book, the individual studies embrace the full scope of what remains of Hellenistic poetry, both high literary productions and the more marginal poetry, such as that in honour of the great goddess Isis. The singularity of the poetry of Catullus and Virgil, of Horace and the elegists, emerges as more rich and complex than has hitherto been appreciated. Individual studies concern the poets' declared attitudes to their own work, the figure of Dionysus/Bacchus and the poetry of world conquest, the creation of similes, and the conversion of Greek bucolic into Latin pastoral.

HTML Purifier 4.8.0 released
HTML Purifier 4.8.0 is a bugfix release, collecting a year of accumulated bug fixes. In particular, we fixed some minor bugs and now declare full PHP 7 compatibility. The primary backwards-incompatible change is that HTML Purifier will now add rel="noreferrer" to all links with target attributes (you can disable this with %HTML.TargetNoReferrer.) Other changes: new configuration options %CSS.AllowDuplicates and %Attr.ID.HTML5; border-radius is partially supported when %CSS.Proprietary, and tel URIs are supported by default.
See NEWS for a complete changelog.
HTML Purifier 4.7.0 released
HTML Purifier 4.7.0 is a bugfix release, collecting two years worth of accumulated bug fixes. Highlighted bugfixes are updated YouTube filter code, corrected rgb() CSS parsing, and one new configuration option, %AutoFormat.RemoveEmpty.Predicate.
See NEWS for a complete changelog.
HTML Purifier in Objective C released
I'm pleased to report the availability of a (partial) Objective C port of HTML Purifier, by Lukas Neumann and Roman Priebe of Mynigma. I am aware of a few attempts at porting HTML Purifier in the past, but I think Lukas and Roman are the first ever to pull off anything to this degree. Kudos to them!
HTML Purifier 4.6.0 released
HTML Purifier 4.6.0 is a major security release, fixing numerous bad quadratic asymptotics in HTML Purifier's core algorithms. Most users will see a decent speedup on large inputs, although small inputs may take longer. Additionally, the secure URI munging algorithm has changed to do a proper HMAC. There are some other miscellaneous bugfixes as well.
See NEWS for a complete changelog. If you were using the secure URI munge hashing, you will need to update your redirector scripts. Additionally, %Core.EscapeInvalidChildren no longer does anything.
HTML Purifier 4.5.0 released
HTML Purifier 4.5.0 is a minor bugfix and feature release, containing an accumulation of changes over a year. CSS support has been extended to support display:inline-block, white-space, underscores in font families, page-break-* CSS3 properties (when proprietary is enabled.) We now use SHA-1 to identify cached definitions, and the semantics of stacked attribute transforms has changed slightly.
See NEWS for a complete changelog. There are some minor, backwards incompatible changes, which we don't expect users to notice.

|tomcat iis-how to fails on windows 2000
|Thu, 28 Sep 2000 05:18:46 GMT
I have several questions here: 1) tomcat iis how-to 2) tomcat config properties for its server.xml wheres the "reference doc" for this Hello, I am a programmer trying to get system admin work done...I have built some very cool JSP stuff and it is time to get it off my desktop onto a "real" machine (one with a DNS associated with it). I have some quick questions maybe you could shed some light on... I followed the tomcat-iis how-to very carefully. I have 2 questions: 1) Add a string value with the name extension_uri and a value of /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll The value "/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll" should is be this value all the time even if my install directory is c:\java\tomcat\...? 2) Using the IIS management console, add a new virtual directory to your IIS/PWS web site What do you mean by "to YOUR web site". Our iis seems to have 3 or 4 "web sites". Does it matter which one I add it to (or I guess I could add a virtual path to all of them). I assume that each web site listens on different ports or for different paths and thats how iis distinguishes requests for the different 'sites'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- My Problem: when I stop/retsart iis it shows that the filter has failed to load. I followed the instruction up to Restart IIS (stop + start the IIS admin server and then looked at the "filter:" and it had failed (down red arrow). (No info in the event log). Does this step depend at all on the values in workers.properties? Or uriworkermap.properties ? I.e. I am trying to isolate the problem. Some Facts: ----------- The dll I am using is the binary downloded about 2 months ago and is 98304 bytes and the download page says april 18, 2000. This is the latest copy for tomcat 3.1. I just downloaded the very latest (tomcat 3.2-beta-5) and will try that tomorrow. Possible Other problems: what is ajp12 - I certainly did not install it do I need to? It sound slike ajp12 is a protocol that the redirector uses (and it knows how to use it already, and tomcat knows how to use it too). Other Questions (you may be able to shed some light?) ---------------------------------------------------- Concerning contexts: I want to serve my website (in tomcat/webapps/hhw as the "default" context, i.e., www.host.com/index.jsp should be for my hhw context. I do not want to have to have my users type an extra hhw all the time. Any ideas about this? There must be a way to configure tomcat to use only this default site, but I connot find any doco on the server.xml file as used by tomcat. Any idea where it explains all the ins and outs for this file (source code?)? And...the instructions for the "in process" how-to say I need to do the tomcat-iis how -to. Is this really necessary? Does the in-process version use the redirect dll?

Google Embraces Rival OpenStack Cloud Technology
NEWS ANALYSIS: Although Google has its own cloud technology, it also sees value in OpenStack, and so the company is joining the OpenStack Foundation as a corporate sponsor.Google officially is joining the open-source OpenStack Foundation today as a corporate sponsor. Google's sponsorship isn't about advocating for a rival cloud technology, but rather about helping boost interoperability across clouds, using container technology. Google, of course, has its own cloud technology that is not open-source. In that light, Google's Cloud can and should be seen as a rival to OpenStack, which powers both private and public clouds around the globe. However, Google is not undermining its own cloud by becoming a sponsor of the OpenStack Foundation; rather, it is deftly taking the initiative to improve support for its own cloud technologies. The key is Docker containers. In the pre-container era, cloud users were somewhat defined and constrained by the cloud vendor platform they chose, with cross-cloud interoperability being more of a myth than practical production reality. Containers change the equation and level the playing field for application workload compatibility and interoperability across clouds.
The ability to run containers on a given cloud, however, is not enough in the modern world of high-availability applications. Developers need the ability to manage and orchestrate container deployment, regardless of the underlying cloud infrastructure, and that's where Google comes into the picture.

Thought I heard laughter as I walked past the bank, so I think it's safe to assume I'm making no money from this.
I'd like to thank everyone who was kind enough to leave a review on the first chapter.
John Winchester doesn't know what to say to his son.
Winchester men don't deal with grief by talking in the open; allowing it to shine in the sun for as long as it needs where it can taint no memory is simply not an option. No, grief is dealt with in the dark alone; or at least with a bottle of something either clear or amber. It's dealt with in blood, revenge and guns, salt and flame.
At least, that's how John has always dealt with it. His twelve year old has yet to feel the burn of alcohol; has yet to cleanse his soul with the fire of whisky and the ice of tequila. Entering the bedroom with his son, however, John feels the familiar pull, the haunting oblivion that beckons like his wife's body had done once. He needs a drink, badly, but Jim has impressed upon him that Dean needs him more.
The hunter feels old today.
His hand shakes as he drags it down his whiskery face; his body is slowing coming down from the adrenaline rush and it leaves him in weak and in pain. His head pounds, his eyes are burning and his muscles scream their protests as he urges himself faster, trying to position himself in front of Dean.
Looking into the eyes of his first born, watching as the soul beats, trapped within the glassy confines of the features that most reminds him of Mary, John finds a pain that outshines anything he has felt so far on this most frightening of days.
It's the first time since the school that he has been able to face his boy, the first time that his son has allowed their gazes to connect.
Dean is still huddled in John's coat, still trembling and still terrifying. John reaches out to help him out of it, but Dean's voice, soft and angry, stops him.
"Why didn't you kill him?"
The words paralyse John; he can do more than stare at this child he has raised through war and pain and death.
"Why, dad? What stopped you?"
Dean is slightly louder now and once more John finds himself at a loss.
"You saw what he was going to do!"
"Dean," John breathes, like it's always been the name on his lips, "I can't do that." He's lying, of course. There was a moment when he would have if asked, would have dropped the body at Dean's feet and declared that nobody, absolutely nobody was going to hurt him again. John swallows and forces himself to continue. "He's human, Dean."
"He's a monster!"
The anger in his Dean's voice is raw and sharp; it cuts his father so swiftly that at first he doesn't feel the pain until the bleeding starts.
"He wasn't going to stop on his own, dad, you saw him!"
The last three words are a scream, a nightmare given life in the light of day and it appears to drain the boy of the last of his strength. He sinks slowly to his knees, sodden jeans soaking water into the thin carpet.
John finds himself mirroring his boy's posture, head bowed in front of him, hands reaching for him but unsure whether touch would be welcomed.
"I couldn't, I'd have been arrested."
"Nobody would have known."
John closes his eyes against the soft words. "They'd have found out. I'd have been arrested, or Jim might have, if we'd skipped town."
"I want him dead."
Dean has never sounded so serious in all his life. His dad knows he's had a bad scare, he knows that bravado has always been Dean's defence against a world that's never been able to care enough to heal the many hurts it's inflicted on his too young soul, yet the sentence is too cold for Dean.
The eldest Winchester brother has always run hot, as yet unable to master the indifference that the teenagers at his school have introduced him to and for him to wish death on a human frightens John.
"Baby, think what you're saying," he murmurs, falling back on a name he's only really used on Sammy for the last eight years.
"He's a monster," Dean repeats, just as vehemently. "He was hurting me, dad." His voice breaks over the sentence, the shiver becomes more pronounced.
John nods to give himself time to clear the lump in his throat. "I know, son."
"So kill him. You kill monsters, kill him." The words are soft, so soft they hardly seem real. John answers anyway.
"There are some that I can't touch."
"I don't believe you," Dean hisses, his heat is back; scorching his father's heart, the flames licking at the open wounds that may never heal. "You kill all the other monsters."
John winces. How do you explain that there are laws that protect the monster your son wants - needs - you to send to hell.
Dean's attack is relentless, disregarding the flicker of emotion that has appeared on the usually granite face. "You help everybody else, help me!"
Dean's earlier words haunt John then, hitting him so hard he can't breathe, echoing in the cavernous silence of his numb mind.
"Please!" Dean begged brokenly. "Don't, I don't want this, I'm sorry, please let me go! Dad! Dad, help me! Don't let him hurt me, daddy!"
"I'm not going to let him hurt you," John whispers, but Dean doesn't seem to hear.
"Why won't you help me?"
"I'm trying, Dean, I am," John replies, knowing how pathetic he sounds, how inadequate his words are.
"Why aren't I important enough?" Dean screams, small face begging for answers.
"You and Sammy are the most important things in my life. You're the only things in my life!" John realises he's shouting himself and it's with a supreme effort that he lowers his voice again. "I can go to the police, but you'll have to be brave and tell them what happened -"
"No!" Dean's breathing hitches, and he forces himself to calm down. "No," he repeats, softer this time. "I can't."
"I can't do anything else. But I can promise you, you'll never see him again, kiddo, never. He comes into my line of vision, he knows what'll happen."
It's not much, it's disgustingly little, but it's all John can offer.
He watches as the shards of soul that lie shattered within the moss green eyes are hidden as Dean lowers his eyelids, long lashes sweeping onto pale cheeks. Tears cling to the dark lashes as he opens his eyes again.
"I don't think I'm the first and he's going to keep doing it."
John interprets the sentence correctly as 'I'm scared he'll come after Sammy. I'm scared he isn't finished with me.'
"He's not going to hurt you, Dean. You have my word. You're safe; I'm going to keep you safe." John reaches out to finally bridge the chasm that has kept Dean from him, pulls the frightened boy back in his arms the way he did at the school and although Dean resists at first, he eventually melts into the embrace.
Dean's fingers grip onto his father's shirt as his legs crumble, unable to continue to keep him supported in the awkward kneeling position and John sways under the sudden extra weight, but doesn't fall, doesn't let Dean fall. Won't let him fall, promises to keep him from going under, all whispered into his son's hair, but he can feel Dean nod beneath his chin and the vice gripping his heart loosens ever so slightly.
John eventually convinces Dean to run a bath, to get out of his wet clothes and warm up. As the boy bathes, John heads towards the kitchen, where he knows Pastor Jim has made a pot of coffee and is waiting patiently for him.
Sammy is there too, keeping himself quiet and out of the way and he goes unnoticed by the two adults. John has already been caught by Jim's sharp, worried eyes.
"John?" the older man queries hesitantly. "What happened?"
Sammy's dad sighs heavily. "I don't know what to say to him, Jim, I can't do it. I just can't fix this."
"Fix what?" the Pastor asks in much the same tone of voice in which John has spoken to Dean in, earlier. "Fix what, John?" he repeats.
"That damn bastards been molesting kids," John hisses, which Sammy recognises as his father's angry voice. The one he uses when he's so angry that shouting just isn't going to cut it. Pastor Jim calls it John's scared voice, but Sammy is sceptical of that opinion. His dad isn't ever scared.
Sammy edges slowly closer to the adults. He feels invisible as his father spits words Sammy's sure he's not supposed to hear.
Jim, for once, ignores the bad language and struggles for words of his own. "Did he – is Dean … John?"
His father shakes his head vehemently. "No ... no. He's … that bastard almost, but – God, Jim! My son was almost – he had his hands all over him and was going to…"
Sammy isn't sure what was going to happen, but is very glad it hadn't, if the look on his dad's face is anything to judge by.
"You stopped it?" Jim's voice is as pale as his face as the horror of the situation sinks in. "John?"
Sammy watches as a shaky sigh escapes his father's lips, as his shoulders slump and his body collapses in upon himself as if his muscles will no longer support him. "Yeah," he breathes. "I stopped it. Him."
"You saved Dean," Jim informs him, and Sammy can't help but wonder why the Pastor, who's always been so smart, is standing in the kitchen, his hand on John's shoulder, saying things that should be obvious. But Sammy, who's always been smart in his own way, stays quiet and listens hard.
"I could have been too late."
Sammy blinks. The man who has just spoken isn't his father.
The man who uttered those despairing words is an old man. A broken man. Sammy's dad is neither of those men, yet they both entered the house and are staring at Jim with terror in their eyes.
Jim holds the younger man's gaze for a moment and repeats his earlier observation. "You saved Dean."
"He knocked me out, had Dean under him, was about to – Jesus Jim!" The last two words thunder around the small, homely room and Sammy cringes, expecting the mugs to fall off the counter as the shout bounces off the walls.
"You saved Dean." Pastor Jim repeats the sentence in the same calm, placid tone and John finally bows his head and breathes out through his nose, a calming technique that he taught Dean several years ago when he came home with a black eye and proudly displaying a note claiming he had broken another's boy's nose. John had been impressed that his nine year old had laid out a fourteen year old bully, yet had had to temper his pride in the face of the principles displeasure.
"Yeah," he sighed, eventually.
"He needs you still, John."
Sammy's father nods, stands straight and sees his Dean at the door to the kitchen, pausing briefly in the hallway before stepping barefooted into the room. Dean clears the doorframe, towel around his waist and John blinks hard at the sight of the marks on his child's body.
Scattered bruises mar the smooth flesh of his wrists, his shoulders, when he leaves the sanctity of the hallway and walks towards his father, display twin bruises, purpling storm clouds gathering on his clear summer sky skin, the marks repeated verbatim upon his upper arms.
Worse, though, is the terrible mark on his son's lower back which is shown as Dean half turns away from the stares. Someone has held him down viciously, if the haemorrhaging beneath the fragile skin is to be believed. Remembering the way Peterson had held Dean down, John's heart twists violently within his chest.
John has a hard time trying to fill the sudden silence that strangles the room; he licks his lips and clears his throat, softly suggests that maybe Dean should head on up and get tucked into bed. When Dean's body tenses, the thrumming in his straining muscles vibrating through the thick, choking quiet, John hastily explains it'll warm him up.
Dean doesn't move; eyes fixed on the floor tiles, breathing coming out in rough, harsh inhalations.
"Go on, son."
John's voice is soft and encouraging and Sammy can't stop himself from wanting Dean to move. Their dad has always said Dean was like a storm in a house, too wild to be contained within one room and that's never made much sense before today. Now it really does feel as if a storm has taken up residence in the kitchen and surrounded his brother. Sam's skin even tingles.
He finds it's very hard to breathe when everyone else seems to have taken all the air from the room, holding it deep in their lungs and not even knowing they're doing it.
Dean breathes out what might have been interpreted as a sob coming from anyone else and finally moves. The tension ebbs as John moves to wrap a strong arm around the slight shoulders, mindful of the swelling from an injury that seems months old now and gently steers Dean back towards the bedroom.
Winchester men don't deal with grief by talking in the open, allowing it to shine in the sun for as long as it needs. No, grief is dealt with in the dark alone; or at least with a bottle of something either clear or amber. It's dealt with in blood, revenge and guns, salt and flame.
Fear is dealt with in much the same way.
Except maybe, John thinks as Dean makes to close the door to his room and hide the pain away, maybe this once it should be dealt with in another manner.

I don't know why nancy picked 80 as a value for x, since it could be almost any value.
Since the distance is the same for both rates, it the mean of 10 and 8.

King of the Moon, by Frank Tavares
If I was sitting on the moon,
I'd see all of our world, floating round and round and round.
And I'd think of how small we all are. But of how big I was.
For I was on the moon, above them all. Looking down, like a king.
I know better than to go through life pointlessly, I have purpose.
I'm the man on the moon. The king of the moon.
And you would all look up and see me, and you would all look up to me, in envy and respect.
And I'd wave back with a big smile. Because I'm a nice king. I would let you continue happily in your lives, leave all the big thinking to me.
Because there was nothing I didn't know now. I could see every star that existed from up here, every person and every tree.
And then, slowly, the moon would turn, and everything would be black. The earth would be out of site.
And I'd look out into the expanse of nothingness… sparkling with tiny beacons among an infinite ocean of night.
And then I'd go home.

At the age of 18, Taylor Gramling was already facing an ordeal beyond her years. She was fighting leukemia. One of her wishes was to go hunting. Comedian Jeff Foxworthy helped her fulfil that dream, by allowing her to hunt on his plantation in Georgia. Gramling was able to successfully hunt a deer on the plantation before succumbing to the disease.
The Georgia house voted 161-1 to pass this bill that would give special hunting privileges to terminally ill youth, a youth being under 21. The resource commission would be able to give permits to these youth, for big game and alligators. In the bill, the youth would need to be supervised by an adult hunter. It would waive some rules on weapons, antler restrictions and hunter education requirements. The bill will now move to the desk of Governor Nathan Deal. From AJC.com [2].

I love this product for my curly/wavy hair. I don't like the look of smooth, perfect, "pretty" hair...and this product give me beachy/bed-head/sexy hair. I use MOP curl defining cream and then diffuse my hair till it's dry and then spray the B&B Surf Spray into my hands and work it into my hair, and it takes away shine and gives my hair a rougher look which I love! The only thing that I don't like is the metal spray nozzle makes an annoying noise when I spray it. It is expensive for the amount you get, but I haven't found anything else that works as good. I'm almost out so i will be repurchasing another one soon.

The King of Battle: Civil War Artillery - The American Civil War was a turning point in history. Military tactics used were based on the 18th-century Napoleonic method. Battles were fought at close range. The only long-range weapon was artillery. Cannons and mortars were used to bombard fortifications, terrorize cities, and disrupt troop movements. This presentation discusses the different types of artillery used throughout the war by each side and how they were implemented in battle.
Of Men, Mules & Machines: How America Entered World War One - World War I was the dawn of modern warfare, yet despite the invention of the automobile, tank, and aeroplane, horses and mules were used on the battlefields of France. Archival film footage of the Pennsylvania National Guard in France highlights this discussion on the mechanization of war.
The Rise of the Beast: How the Nation Changed for Our Entry into World War One - Americans were evenly divided or unconcerned about the combatants on the killing fields of France in 1914. This presentation discusses America's slide into war on the decks of sinking merchantmen.
GAS! GAS! GAS! The Terrible Weapon of the Great War - This presentation discusses the use of chemical warfare in World War One, when your lungs and skin were your own worst enemy.
The World at War Part Two - Twenty-one years after the First World War, the world went to war once again. This presentation discusses Japan and Germany's rise of militarism and nationalism through the early 21st century, ending with the attacks against Poland and Pearl Harbor.

Teaching 20th Century Military History: A Pennsylvania Perspective
Military conflict has drastically changed the face of this nation. In 2001, the collaboration between a middle school social studies teacher and museum educator resulted in the development of age-appropriate education modules on the Spanish/American War, World War One, and World War Two, that places Pennsylvania history within the context of U.S. and world history. While these modules are not an exhaustive study of a conflict, they do orient the reader to the events of a particular time period and the roles that Commonwealth citizens and industry played in the conflict. Subsequent modules designed for junior and senior high on the Korean Conflict and Vietnam War are also available.
The modules are approximately thirty pages in length, divided into seven sections. Each section is illustrated by a time line, factoid boxes, and photos.
Education Modules are available for classroom use. Click the appropriate link below to download the corresponding PDF files.

STILL nothing??????
Well, who would have thought that in August in Texas one could have record
highs one week and record lows the next!!!! The cold front blew in.....feels
like fall. Dropped the temps 20 degrees in a matter of minutes it seems. We've
had night temps in the high 60's/low 70's with day temps in the 80's all
week. Wonderful. Rains every afternoon. So nice not to have to water, and be
Temps are to go back up a bit next week, but not too bad, I guess.

No doubt, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner did not intend to make the Fagins of the Nineties still more elusive. Yesterday, the purpose of his controversial remarks - that the overwhelming majority of muggings in London are committed by young black males - were made clearer. His comments were designed to prepare the way for a blitz on street crime.
The campaign is laudable, the manner in which it was prepared for badly misconceived.
By singling out black people as the major culprits, he stereotyped a whole community, encouraging white people to think of all young black males as potential muggers while at the same time putting black people on the defensive. His approach has damaged relations between the police and the black community, with most of the community's leaders refusing to discuss the issue with him. In polls prior to the controversy, 90 per cent of black people said that they did not trust the police: Sir Paul has only made that problem worse. Meanwhile Michael Howard, the Home Secretary, has compounded the initial mistake by emphasising the culpability of young black males.
It is easy enough to understand what Sir Paul's thinking must have been when he made his remarks. The figures, which he has yet to publish and which are in any case of questionable validity, had convinced him that most muggings in London are committed by young black males. He wanted a clampdown along the lines of the well-regarded Operation Bumblebee, which targeted known burglars.
But Sir Paul had a problem. Facing a long hot summer, he was obviously worried that his officers, focusing their attention on black males, would be accused of racism. "Operation Eagle Eye", if badly handled, could provoke civil disturbances. His comments were an attempt to pre-empt trouble, by providing a sound statistical rationale for his force's actions. In the event, his judgement left much to be desired. Far from spotlighting the problem of mugging, his remarks focused attention on the responsibility of the black community.
Sir Paul could have handled it in a different way. He should have concentrated on the costs of street crime: the fear among people who dare not go out at night, the surrendering of neighbourhoods to criminals. He could have called in community organisations, including those representing Afro-Caribbeans, and described the plight of victims among them. We would all have been on his side.
The crime statistics show the merit of this approach. There is, it is estimated, a narrow group of 2,000 people who make their living from mugging. By contrast, the victims (40,000 people are expected to be mugged this year) reflect a broad community. In principle, Operation Eagle Eye is an excellent idea: in practice, it has been badly mishandled.

Will USC's Lee win Biletnikoff Award?
The big, Orlando-based college football awards show will be televised today by ESPN from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Pacific time, and USC's Marqise Lee will be there as one of three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to college football's top receiver.
No USC receiver has won the Biletnikoff -- Robert Woods was a finalist last season -- but Lee seems to have a great chance. Of the three finalists -- Lee, Stedman Bailey of West Virginia and Terrance Williams of Baylor -- Lee is the only one to rank in the top three nationally in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.
Lee ranks first in receptions (112), second in yards (1,680) and third in touchdowns (14). Bailey ranks fourth in receptions (106), third in yards (1,501) and first in touchdowns (23). Williams ranks seventh in receptions (95), first in yards (1,764) and is tied for seventh in touchdowns (12).
Who will win?

Sierra Deaton is a timid sidekick no more. The singer, one half of "The X Factor" star duo Alex and Sierra, has only been singing on stage for a few months, having occasionally popped up on stage to back her boyfriend, Alex Kinsey, during his gigs. But now, going into the finals of FOX's reality competition, she's finally a star in her own right. So much so that she brought judge Kelly Rowland to tears during her critique of the duo's goosebump-inducing cover of Sara Bareilles' "Gravity."
"This experience has been a really big journey for me, not just as a singer but as a human," Sierra tells Zap2it backstage after her big semifinals night. "And for them to say things that really brought it all together — when Kelly was saying things about female empowerment I was like 'Oh my god! Preach!'"
It was especially flattering coming from a personal role model. "It just meant a lot mostly because ever since I was a kid she's always been someone in the spotlight that I've looked up to whether it's her in a group or her as a soloist. Just as a human, too — she is just such a nice human," Sierra says. "She's not our mentor, she doesn't have to go backstage and pull us aside and be like 'I meant every word.' I just died."
And Kelly wasn't the only one crying, either — Sierra shed a few tears too, something she's been known to do. "This show does not need more scenes of me crying ever again," she jokes. Quips Alex, "But they got 'em!"
Alex's story was a little more lighthearted this week thanks to the revelation that he competed in pageants as a little boy. "You think I'm not proud of that?! That's how it all started," he says with a smile. Besides, Justin Timberlake did pageants. "And Justin Timberlake, his mother goes to every single one of his concerts. There's no shame in that. He's a mama's boy and so am I," Alex says. "No, I only did two of them I think. Edgewater is a teeny tiny town in Florida. I won one year and I was the runner up the next year and I cried because I didn't win."
While there might or might not be tears Thursday night (Dec. 12) when the three finalists are announced, Alex and Sierra are proud of their run on the show. "No matter what happens, if those are our last performances, then we're really happy that's how we ended," says Sierra.
Frankly, they won't be surprised no matter how things go down. "I feel really good going into tomorrow but the thing is we're at the stage in the competition where literally anyone could win it and it would make sense," says Alex. "Everyone has a huge fanbase, everyone has crazy supporters, and we're all so different. No one is direct competition. Anyone could win and I wouldn't be surprised. That, I think, is really exciting. It's anyone's game. Everyone is talented. We have a lot of fun being around such talented people."

Chateau le Moulin Pomerol 2010
|Red Wine
|Merlot, Cabernet Franc
|France » Bordeaux » Pomerol
|Chateau le Moulin
Wine Spectator
Sleek and restrained, with a gorgeous mouthfeel, as silky tannins are already lengthy, carrying the spice, linzer torte, crushed cherry and red currant fruit. A classy wine.Score: 92-95, James Molesworth, 2011
Wine Advocate
From lawyer and judge Michel Querre, Le Moulin is a somewhat under the radar Pomerol that I have always found to have a kinship to Le Pin, if only because of its exuberant exoticism. The deep ruby/purple-hued 2010 reveals layers of fruitcake, spice box, plum, black currant and cherry characteristics. Medium to full-bodied, deep and already irresistible, it may have slightly high acids and a lower pH than usual, but it is a big, loaded Pomerol that should drink well for 12-15+ years.Score: 92-94, Robert Parker, May 2011

What to Do If Your Child Is Being Bullied
You know your kids and you can tell if they are going through a rough time. But sometimes finding out the root of the problem can be very difficult. Talking with your child while doing something together, like playing outdoors, eating dinner, or shopping can often allow him to talk openly and honestly about what's going on in his life. By paying special attention to mentions of interactions with other kids at school, you can begin to get a better picture of how well your kid is doing with others. If she mentions that other kids have threatened her, caused harm, or spread rumors about her in school then your child may be the victim of bullying. Don't blame your kid for being bullied or being put in harmful situations. Let him know that you are there, as always, to support him, and that you will do your best to help.
Plus: Study Links Frequent School Nurse Visits to Bullying
Here's how to help:
1. Ask your child how you can help and what she would like for you to do next.
2. Let her know that she can trust you and that your actions are never intended to make the bullying worse.
3. Make a plan of action that requires you both to document each incident and talk about ways to cope through what's going on.
If you and your child decide that you should speak with a teacher or school authority, make a meeting and describe, in detail, the experiences that the child has had. Remain calm and diplomatic in the meeting. Providing the teacher with enough information will help him to make an informed decision about what to do next. The teacher may suggest that you bring in the school counselor who can monitor the situation and keep you informed on what's happening at school.
Above all, reassure your kid that you are a team and that you will work together to make school something positive, not something to fear.
