North American employees have intense emotions about their work - and right now, a lot of that emotion is negative, according to a unique new study by global human resource consultant Towers Perrin and its research partner Gang & Gang. The study also identifies the elements of an ideal work experience, one that can transform current negative emotion into positive emotion, and shows why this is so important for employers.
The report, Working Today: Exploring Employees' Connections to Their Jobs,* is the first study to quantify the emotional elements of the work experience, using an emotionbased methodology developed by Gang & Gang. The research was conducted via the Internet in September 2002 among a randomly selected group of 1,100 employees working for mid-size to large companies in the United States and Canada. The respondents described how they felt about their current work experience and their desired experience. A companion survey involved roughly 300 senior human resource executives from similarly sized companies, who described how they thought employees at theft company felt about their current work experience.
According to the study, negative emotion about work is not only associated with higher turnover rates it contributes to the kind of workplace malaise that can materially diminish productivity and performance. Conversely, strong positive emotion correlates with better financial results for an organization, as measured by five- year total shareholder return. The study also reveals that while employers are aware of the widespread discontent in their workplaces, they misjudge some of the root causes and risk taking inappropriate actions as a result. "Right now, there is an enormous gap between employees' current and ideal work experience. People know what they want and need to feel intensely positive about their work, but unfortunately many are not getting it," said Mark Mactas, chairman and CEO of Towers Perrin.
Fears and pressures
In measuring the nature and intensity of employees' emotions about work,-the study shows that, on average, more than half of people's current emotion is negative and a third is intensely negative. Five elements account for most of this negative emotion:
* An excessive workload.
* Concerns about management's ability to lead the company forward successfully. Anxiety about the future, particularly longer-term j ob, income and retirement security.
* Lack of challenge in their work, with boredom intensifying existing frustration about workload.

I tell stories. Sometimes they're called lies, but that's a fine point. The more entertaining stories I like to share with others and I've done so for more years than I can count without borrowing your fingers and toes.
My books – currently numbering five with the sixth on the way – follow the crime-solving adventures of JP Weiscarver, a newspaper reporter in a small city on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
Learn more about them on the page cleverly titled "Steve's Books."
This blog, however, is not as easily categorized as the books. It is subject to sometimes violent and unsettling fluctuations that range from running a name-that-character competition to a lesson learned from the death of Robin Williams.

If you're nosy…
My background includes not a single solved murder, but I have worked more than 20 years at various small daily newspapers around Texas. I've also lived in four different cities on or near the Gulf of Mexico. I draw from all of those experiences to come up with believable characters and story lines. You will never read in this series about someone jumping off a bridge onto a speeding train.
I did work one austral summer as a journalist in Antarctica, which gave me the ability to write a believable story based on the Ice.
Married since 1977 to Leah, an amazing woman who taught in public schools for 25 years and continues to encourage my story-telling. We have one daughter. She and her husband have blessed us with a grandson.
Leah and I have worked summers since 2013 in different interesting places, such as Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore. We love to travel and recently visited South America, which enables me to say I've traveled to all seven continents.
Conversation starters
A few useless facts about me:
I am a Libra, but I'm not sure what that means.
My favorite movie is "Casablanca," but my tastes vary. My IMDb list of films receiving a 10-out-of-10 rating range from "The Godfather" to "A League of Their Own."
My favorite color is blue, but I do not know why. My wife says I look good wearing green, but she's not very critical.
Maybe I look good in green because I'm part Irish. At least, the totally unsubstantiated family story is some forefather was chased from Ireland to North America as a murderer.
Speaking of the European invasion, I'm also at least 1/32 Cherokee. That's also not verifiable. An incredibly patient lady at the Bureau of Indian Affairs told me to not doubt my heritage because many Native Americans refused to "enroll" with the government. I like to think I'm from such a line of native non-conformists.
I don't really listen to music an awful lot, but I prefer oldies rock 'n' roll and Jimmy Buffett. I suggested to my wife she could play Buffett's "He Went to Paris" at my funeral, but I'm not sure she took me seriously.
I am the eldest child with one brother and one sister.
I'm not a swimmer. I can beat the water and stay afloat for a short while but have no desire to learn just how long that is. Actually, it's been many years since I've done that much.
Did they mention I love all-meat pizza?
Oh, the photo at top … it's from the heavy extreme cold weather parka provided me when I worked in Antarctica. They misspelled my first name and I blacked out the "N" to correct it.
Entertaining…. informative…. if I'd known you weren't a swimmer, I wouldn't have tried to drown you at the WO swimming pool….lol…. just kidding… I really tried… Casablanca is a good choice… I am a hopeless romantic and I've seen it about 25 times…

Training Rebranded: Internships and the Value of Work
Unless you are under 14 or have been living on a desert island for a few decades, you know what an internship is. But just in case, internships offer young people the opportunity to work for businesses and institutions for little or no monetary compensation to gain references and experience in the process. The modern internship system began in the '60s and '70s as a fast track into certain elite financial industries, but starting in the mid '80s they appeared in other industries. Thirty years later they have become not just a prerequisite for future employment but a hoped-for opportunity for millions of enterprising youth searching for a way into a future desk job.
Decades ago they might have been a relatively benign educational opportunity nestled in the comfort of the Fordist economic system. Today internships represent economic trends that raise disturbing questions about the present and future of capitalism, especially with respect to training, experience, and the devaluation of labor.
As noted above, internships began as training programs for elite economic sectors. Training can be extremely expensive. Beginning with a basic education, it often involves on-site training or continued education as well. Historically labor intensive or manufacturing ("blue collar") jobs often involve on-site training, in which the employer pays the worker to learn the job after she or he has been hired. Here the cost of this training is borne by the employer.
Clerical and highly specialized ("white collar") work is different. Rather than being trained after they have been hired, employees are expected to bring sufficient training to the workplace beforehand and are expected to front the cost. This cost is often explicit, shown in rising college tuition, increasingly harsh debt burdens, or corruption.
But sometimes the cost of this training is hidden, and reimagined as payment for that vital commodity, "experience." Young people work long, difficult, and stressful jobs for free or less than minimum wage in exchange for experience. As experience, the cost of training is transformed from something that employers need and must pay for into a privilege, something workers must compete over in the hopes of being noticed. Its origin as training, a cost that must be compensated for, is obscured and lost. Training is something companies and schools provide. Experience is something workers either have or lack.
It's true that worker's wages compensate for their training or experience—at least theoretically. Businesses would say that internships' opportunities for networking and job experience pay off for interns in future jobs. This would make internships an investment in one's own future. In an economy of youth unemployment in which low- and entry-level positions require years of experience, unemployed, underemployed, or underutilized young workers are having an increasingly difficult time finding their way into the economy. Internships offer their enterprising participants a leg up.
These justifications deliberately conceal the workings of the job market. Internships work because there are so few jobs to be had—not many people would work for free if there were an alternative. Even those who do get jobs find their wages reduced by the masses of un- and underemployed who would unleash a flood of résumés and cover letters on a vacated position. And most insidiously of all, the existence of internships means that any young person unsatisfied with her low wage, long hour, entry level job knows that she might be fired and replaced by one, two, or even three interns willing to work even longer and harder for the experience.
Internships don't just rebrand training as experience—they make that training and that experience itself less valuable by giving work away for free. Recent hires find their wages lower, not higher, their jobs more expendable, not more valuable, all due to the very internships they and their peers had accepted with the opposite intentions. Young people sabotage their ambitions by their efforts to achieve them.
The downward pressure that internships exert on the wages of young people and anyone in an entry level job is connected to the phenomenon of devaluation. Devaluation describes what happens when something that had value loses it. It usually results from social and technological change, market fluctuations, or major economic crises. Mechanization in the auto industry devalued the work of car assemblers. Sudden shifts in the stock market can cause the prices of commodities to plummet with little explanation. And the recent financial crisis was tied to the devaluation of thousands of mortgages and the property they represented. Because work is just another commodity—with inputs like food and training, and outputs like products and profits—work can also be devalued.
This is the crux of the matter. Internships severely reduce the value of workers' training and labor by transforming what might have been a cost to employers into a net positive in the form of the money they save by taking on an intern rather than hiring someone to do the same work. This process is not a conspiracy on the part of too-greedy business people. It's simply that, in their own words, they'd be crazy to ignore this abundant source of free labor.
As a society we tend to frown on the social consequences of the devaluation of work, such as youth unemployment or the fact that more and more young people now live with their parents rather than setting out on their own. There is even growing concern in the withered regulatory bodies of the United States that many internships might be illegal because they are being used to replace what would otherwise be paid workers rather than as educational opportunities (though exactly how interns were supposed to work without replacing workers is beyond me). But once begun, the processes started by the internization of young workers are hard to reverse.
In the wake of the present crisis companies in the most developed countries flaunt unhidden and illegal practices. Businesses and governments all over the world have tightened their belts, downsized, and cut back more than some had imagined possible. Portugal, Spain, Greece, and other countries around the globe are experiencing extremely high rates of unemployment, some of them unprecedented in the post-war era, and some have begun to speak of a "crisis of work." Internships are not the cause, but they are a part of this trend in our economy toward the devaluation of labor.
The frightening conclusion to be made from this large scale return of unpaid labor to the economy is that capitalism is now increasingly unwilling to pay for the cost of the labor it needs to survive, and that employers are demanding that their workers make up that cost. Such demands are not new to capitalism—they are in fact very old—but they are new to generations of privileged citizens of Western democracies accustomed to reaping the benefits of centuries of labor struggles without having to participate in them.
But do these changes in the the way we think about training and in the way that work is paid for signify something dark and new about contemporary capitalism? Should they be interpreted as a continuation of neoliberalism's tendency toward the devaluation of industrial labor, an old trend finally reaching into educated, highly skilled, and office work? And, if so, should this trend be understood as a manifestation of what Marx called "the falling rate of profit," which eventually causes all capitalist industries and economies to collapse under their own weight? These questions are vital not only to understanding our past and present, but to imagining our possible futures.
Some might say that we have raised a generation of people who are wrong for the world, people who foolishly studied things that interested them in college rather than wisely deciding on the lucrative industries of today. I prefer to think that we live in a world that is wrong for us—not only for youth, but for almost everyone. The trends discussed in this post should be despised, not accepted, fought, not dealt with. Youth have begun to do this, from students in the US to the Indignados in Spain, but where the fight will go from there is up to us. Unpaid work is illegal, and should be stopped, along with any business or economy that relies on it.

Ross Perlin wrote an excellent book on internships called "Intern Nation," published by Verso in 2011. It's a rather mainstream, social-democratic/"left-liberal" take, but nevertheless it's an insightful analysis.ReplyDelete
I think that Eugene's post raises a very important point, namely that one doesn't have to have a job to be a worker. The struggle of those desperately trying to amass enough 'experience' to gain employment is linked to the travails of the employed and underemployed, and ultimately, the chronically unemployed as well.ReplyDelete
Of course, even with the consciousness of this fact, there remains the question of the forms of organization that could politically articulate the concerns of such a broadly conceived group of workers...

At a news conference in the state Capitol, state Sen. Mike Stack discussed two new bills intended to reform marijuana laws to curb the unintended consequences that drain local budgets and waste law enforcement resources.
"Beyond the financial cost, our antiquated marijuana laws clog our criminal justice system and consume time that can be better spent arresting and prosecuting violent criminals," Stack said. "Over the past 20 years, the number of marijuana arrests has exploded but the price of marijuana has dropped and the availability and potency has increased."
Stack said he has introduced two bills: Senate Bill 1307 will reduce possession of less than an ounce of marijuana to a summary offense for the first two offenses and provide discretion to District Attorneys for third and subsequent offenses, and
Senate Bill 1308 will make it easier for former offenders to find a job by making expungement easier.
"Increasingly, expungement is being seen by law enforcement officials as a valid tool in preventing crime by removing barriers to employment," Stack said. "The permanent stain of a criminal conviction for a small amount of marijuana can prevent truly reformed young men and women from getting a good job and can push them back into a cycle of crime and punishment."
The bills drew support from Philadelphia's top law enforcement official and former DEP Secretary and gubernatorial candidate John Hanger.
"I firmly believe that possession of small amounts of marijuana should remain a crime because marijuana use has negative health consequences," said District Attorney Seth Williams.
"However, I appreciate the efforts of Senator Stack to ensure our laws related to possession of small amounts of marijuana are fair and provide prosecutors discretion to recommend appropriate sanctions. These two principals are not mutually exclusive, and Senator Stack should be applauded for his work."
Stack said current marijuana laws have shown uneven and even discriminatory enforcement, noting that African Americans are six times as likely to be prosecuted for marijuana possession, despite similar rates of use among other races.
"These bills are not intended to be a commentary on the wisdom or health of marijuana use," Stack said. "They are targeted at the wisdom of continuing an approach that is expensive, ineffective and misguided.These bills are a challenge to those who walk these halls and profess their support for smaller government at a lower cost to taxpayers."
Hanger applauded the reform effort, calling the bills "a good commonsense proposal."
"These bills are an important step in the right direction," he said. "These are fiscally responsible bills and they will save taxpayers money."

State Reps. Kathleen Clyde (D- Kent), Tracy Maxwell Heard (D- Columbus) and Alicia Reece (D- Cincinnati) announced on Friday a common sense legislative solution to increase voter access, establish a more accurate voter database, and improve that ballot counting process. This week, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted called for the repeal of the controversial House Bill 194, which is currently facing a voter referendum in the fall.
Democrat's election law reforms would restore the requirement that poll workers direct voters to the correct polling place. It would ensure early voting lasts thru the Monday before Election Day and it would restore less burdensome vote-counting rules.
"In response to the colossal failure in legislative leadership by the Republicans, we again are saying work with us. Here are our priorities for creating better elections in Ohio that promote more participation in our elections, and ensure that more ballots are counted. We were shut out of the process last time, but we hope that the Republicans learn from their mistakes and work with us," said Rep. Clyde.
This bill will fix Ohio's provisional ballot problem by reducing the number of reasons for making voters cast provisional ballots, and it will make it clear that election officials will be held responsible for mistakes instead of blaming and tripping up voters. Votes will be counted unless there is clear evidence that a vote is invalid, and it will add college ID's and passport to the acceptable voter ID list.
"Our proposal will trust Boards of Election to determine a voter's clear intent where a candidate's name is written in and possibly spelled wrong. If a bipartisan board can determine the voter's clear intent, that vote will count. We will not allow literacy tests to be part of Ohio law," said Rep. Heard. "Our bill will apply the same rules for all voters."
"This week, I called for federal elections monitors in Cincinnati due to a still unresolved 2010 Hamilton County Juvenile Court race. This bill will ensure situations such as this do not continue to happen," said Rep. Reece. "Our proposal will ensure all votes are counted, and it will reduce the number of provisional ballots due to poll worker error or change of address."
The proposed legislation will also ensure Motor Voter compliance – Currently, Ohio is not meeting its obligation to update voter registrations when voters change their address with the BMV. There is no excuse for this; by not complying we risk losing federal Help America Vote Act funds by failing to meet the conditions to receive the funds. The BMV and Secretary of State must work together to make Ohio complaint now.

Manchester United are said to have been left furious following Saturday's tense 2-1 victory over West Ham.
The Red Devils saw captain Wayne Rooney dismissed in the second-half at Old Trafford for a professional foul on the marauding Stewart Downing but still managed to cling on to a hard-fought victory after visiting captain Kevin Nolan was denied a late equaliser thanks to a controversial but ultimately correct offside decision made by linesman Andrew Garratt.
While Louis van Gaal generally appeared to suggest that Rooney's dismissal was probably justified, the Daily Mail reports that Manchester United were angry following a black eye sustained by left-back Luke Shaw.

- Paddy McNair Manchester United debut earns praise
Shaw - who moved to the club from Southampton for a £27 million fee back in June and is said to earn around £120,000-per-week - made his long-awaited debut against the Hammers but sustained a facial injury during an altercation with Diafra Sakho.
The source suggests that Manchester United believe Shaw was on the receiving end of a headbutt from the Senegalese striker, although they have not made any public comment as of yet and will presumably wait to see if any mention to the incident is made in the referee's report of the afternoon which should be filed later on Monday.
Retrospective action?
No television cameras appeared to pick up the clash between Shaw and Sakho and there was no subsequent mention of any foul play during any of the highlights shows who typically dissected the action in fine detail.
If the FA - providing there is no reference to any headbutt in Lee Mason's post-match comments - do spot anything amiss and fail to deem it an accident, then Sakho could potentially face retrospective action.
Like Shaw, the 24-year-old is attempting to make an impression at a new club after joining West Ham from Ligue 2 champions Metz this summer.
Sakho form
But whereas Shaw has only just started to prove his worth in his new surroundings following a pre-season blighted by fitness issues, Sakho - who made his international debut earlier this year - has enjoyed an instant impact at Upton Park, notching three goals in his opening four top-flight games and forging an impressive partnership with Colombian frontman Enner Valencia.
Sam Allardyce is under pressure to deliver an improved finishing position at West Ham this year, achieved with a more attractive brand of football.
While he will have been disappointed with Saturday's defeat, the early signs have been bright for the former Bolton and Newcastle boss this season.

Vinyl Flooring is made of various amounts of vinyl and these can either be solid or composite. The solid vinyl flooring is made up of vinyl pieces which are then set into a vinyl base while in the composite version the pieces are embedded into a non-vinyl filler. The most expensive type of vinyl flooring you can buy today is the solid version while often you can get composite discount vinyl flooring relatively easily.
The good quality vinyl flooring that you see produced by such companies as Armstrong Vinyl Flooring and Tarkett Vinyl Flooring have a protective top coat which is made with urethane. If you do not have a high budget then there are plenty of places where you can purchase discount vinyl flooring either online or through your local flooring supplier.
The great thing about vinyl flooring is that it is extremely resistant to being scratched or stained and so is ideal for such rooms in the house as the kitchen, bathroom or even a child's play room. But if it does not have a urethane covering then it is likely to lose the gloss and shine it had when it was first laid.
As well as being resilient and durable, the other advantage that this type of floor covering has over other kinds is that installing vinyl flooring is very easy and normally can be done in a matter of a few hours for each room.
If you wish your flooring to remain in the same condition as when you purchased it you should regularly clean it and apply a wax polish to it.
Every type of vinyl flooring now available including the latest innovation known as vinyl plank flooring comes with a cushion backing. The thickness of the backing that comes with your vinyl flooring will all be dependent on the type you buy. You will find that the much more expensive versions of this kind of flooring will have a much thicker backing than the discounted ones.
The benefit of having a vinyl flooring with a much thicker backing to it is that it is much more comfortable to walk on. However, it is more prone to dents if heavy objects are either dropped or placed on it without any protection.
When installing vinyl flooring you will notice that most come with an adhesive backing, and all you will need to do is peel off the backing that covers the adhesive and then stick it on to the floor. So if you are looking to lay new flooring in your home without all the hassles associated with laying other kinds of flooring such as laminate, real wood or tiles, vinyl is your best bet. However, before your begin laying any type of vinyl flooring you should ensure that the base flooring is completely clean and dry or else the adhesive will not affix to it properly.

• San Japan 4TW, Friday–Sunday, Marriott Rivercenter, 101 Bowie St. $10-$45, military discount (active duty only); 4 and younger free. www.san-japan.org
The whole point of advances in the news biz is to inform the public of events they may like to go to. In the case of San Japan 4TW, you're either going or you're not.
But let me tell you about it anyway.
At San Japan, there are a lot of young people in costume portraying characters from the world of anime — or Japanese animation. You see characters from other worlds, too, like a group of girls dressed as characters from "Alice in Wonderland" at last year's San.
Or, as another example, this picture of Rosalia Arosemena as a character from the "Silent Hill" video game, and who is about the hottest dead thing I've ever seen in my life. IN MY LIFE. But you have to be careful because some of the costumed are underage.
Not everyone dresses in costume. But for those who do, like any society or subset of civilization, there is a hierarchy. The basic rule: the more elaborate the costume, the bigger the rock star status. And the rock star status comes complete with fan photo ops and, in some cases, groupies (the innocent, chaste kind). And there are exceptions, like Norris Joosakunwijit and Justin Short, who last year walked around with cardboard boxes on their heads, and still achieved rock star status.
Again, you were either going or you weren't. And if you were not, at least maybe this will explain just what the hell's going on downtown this weekend when you see girls in cat ears and tails or Super Mario (there were three one year) standing in line at the Rivercenter Mall food court.

I sighed. "What, Kiara?"
It had been exactly one year and 12 days since
I had been adopted into the family, along with Lizziera and Finn. Allianne--
Aly -- was out earning Neopoints at the arcade, and Finn was at the Training
School. Kiara, the youngest sister, who had lived with Allianne since she was
born, was hyper. Again.
"Kiara," I said suspiciously, "did you eat my
"Liar," I muttered. She had chocolate all over
her paws.
The red Kougra knew she couldn't win against
me, and changed the subject. "Tell me a story, Dazzle."
I sighed again and put the book on a shelf. "Fine."
A black nose and silver fur peeked through the open door, and Lizziera walked
in, plopping onto the rug and curling up.
"I'm listening," she said, eyes closed and ears
perked. "Begin."
They waited as I picked a tale to tell. "Very
well. This is the story of Thaia."
* * *
A young Peophin looked out the window, at the
rain that was falling in sheets of wet despair. The normally cheery and bustling
Neopia Central was replaced by a web of desolate streets, with only an occasional
Neopet walking briskly to the nearest shelter, umbrella over their head.
Thaia put a hoof on the windowsill, a branched
fork of lightning illuminating her light green hair and orange mane. The golden
faceplate all Peophins have was dirt-streaked, the red jewel dull, matching
the Peophin's gloomy mood. With a sigh and a heavy heart, she turned away and
curled up on a washed-out red beanbag, picking up her only comfort: a Christmas
Peophin plushie, a dream that would never come true. Settling into the corner,
she waited for sleep to come and brush away her sadness.
Endless shelves of books stood before her,
their old leather bindings like a rainbow in the softly lit library. All kinds
of stories, more varied than the all Neopets in Neopia and the faeries combined,
were at the tips of her hooves. They patiently waited for a kind hand or eye
to open them and read the ideas that had been captured for eternity. Thaia reached
out for one as something pounded on the library door...
Thaia woke up with a start, hurriedly dragging
herself into a small cabinet and shutting it. Her heart pounding, she looked
out through the small hole in the wood, as the door splintered and finally gave
in. Three yellow figures moved in, rainbow guns drawn, as thunder boomed behind
them. "This is the Chia Police! Put your paws in the air, Black Hooves!"
The Peophin willed herself to stay silent as
they surveyed the small enclosure like professionals. "Looks like another false
alarm, Harlam."
A Chia put his weapon away. "We've got to trace
those neomails... stupid prankpets." He looked around, spying the beanbag and
plushie. "Don't touch anything; search the place and see if they left anything
behind." All three began to methodically check the small room, and the one named
Harlam came closer and closer to her hiding space...
Garret, the pudgiest Chia, picked up the plushie
and sealed it in a bag, taking out a pen and labeling it. Thaia resisted jumping
out and wrestling it back; she had no claws or hind legs, and would give up
her position. Hopefully, another one would pop up at the Plushie Palace.
The cabinet door opened, and a yellow face filled
the now open space. "What do we have here?" He chuckled. "Pardon me, but you
don't look like the sort that robs stores, do you?" Thaia's eyes filled with
"It was only one plushie, I didn't take anything
else, I swear... only that one plushie, and it had a torn ear and no one was
buying it and the shopkeeper didn't care and I've always wanted to-" she kept
babbling until the Chia held up a hand.
"It's ok," he soothed. "We're looking for some
thieves who have been stealing rare items and robbing the bank... a group of
Ixis. Have you seen them?" Thaia shook her head quickly, tangled orange mane
flopping from side to side. "Then you're fine. We'll take you to the Pound."
"Th-the Pound, s-sir?" she stammered. "Not the
Pound! I can't survive the Pound... just let me stay here, please..."
He shook his head. "No can do. If we find a pet
without an owner or organization, they have to go to the Pound. Sorry, kid."
He gently picked the skinny Peophin up, surprised by how light she was. I
would use more energy to pick up a pair of handcuffs! he thought. "Don't
worry; they'll feed you and give you better shelter than this. I promise."
Thaia looked at him with pleading eyes. "But
I'll stay there for the rest of my life!" And she wouldn't be allowed out, would
never see the library... this was worse than staying. In one minute, her life
had gone from bad to worse, and to downright hopeless in a split second. She
squirmed, but the police officer had firm hold on her. "Can I have my plushie?"
she asked, giving up.
"Garret, hand her the plushie."
"Sir, this may be potential evidence for the
crimes of the Black Hooves-"
"For Fyora's sakes, Garret, she's a starving
foal!" he said, exasperated. "Give her the plushie or I'll tell the Chief who
stole all his sugar doughnuts." Garret reluctantly handed Thaia the bag, and
she immediately tore it open and hugged the little toy as hard as she could.
With the whimpering Peophin riding behind Harlam,
they took off on their Unis to the Pound.
"Dr. Death?" Harlam called. "Another pet needs
He didn't look like Thaia had imagined. Her imagination
didn't create Neopets that scary. "Another? This place is almost full with pets...
no one wants to adopt any." He sighed and motioned for Thaia to follow.
"Do I have to go?" she whispered to the Chia.
He smiled gently and nodded. Giving him a last, pleading look, she dragged herself
across the tiled floor and followed the Techo into a room full of cages.
"Here," he grumbled. With the quickness of experience,
he wrote her name, age, likes and dislikes on the whiteboard above the cage
door. "Get in." Dr. Death slammed the door behind her and walked away, muttering
something about 'too many pets' and 'no respect whatsoever for me'.
Thaia didn't care. She held her plushie against
her chest, and stared dismally out the bars, still shocked she was actually
A minute later, the bell over the door chimed
to admit a rich owner, trailing a pampered faerie Xweetok after her. The small
Peophin propped her head up in hope. Maybe she would get out!
"I am looking for a painted or otherwise
expensive pet," she demanded in a pompous tone. "Are any available?" Dr. Death
grunted and pointed to a cage in Thaia's direction. The human squealed in delight,
and the little Peophin perked her ears even more. She would be out of this wretched
"Such a pretty Peophin! The mane, the faceplate..."
Thaia pounded her tail against the wall in excitement.
"...the gorgeous wings!"
Wings? But I don't have wings! The cage
door above her opened, and a faerie Peophin flew out. "I'll take her!" the woman
Thaia crumpled and cried, suffering in silence.
She always would.
Thaia quickly learned that a non-painted/non-limited-edition
pet had the same chance of getting adopted as getting Sloth to dance the Cha
Cha in a tutu. And that was if it was a good day.
She had no friends; everyone else was too depressed
to even think of the possibility. It was contagious too. No one bothered to
look up when a human came in, and they forgot to eat meals half the time.
If I'm lucky, she thought, I'll get
shoved back into the streets.
Actually... an idea formed in her mind.
If I'm going to get out of here, it will be through brains, not brawn. And
being annoying.
With a hint of what might have been a smile,
she set her plan into motion.
For a week, Thaia stored every nonperishable
food in the very back corner of her cage, hiding it under a blanket. After she
had a small pile that would feed her for long enough, she began acting as obnoxious
as possible. Taking her fork and spoon (they couldn't use knives, as they were
battledome items) she banged on the bars, yelling out her demands like a stark-raving
mad Lenny.
"Where's my food! I want my food! I want my bag
of one million Neopoints right now, not later! You there; adopt me! I rule over
all you Neopets! Bow down to me! MUAHAHAHA!"
As she knew she would be, she was sentenced without
any meals until she started behaving. She also knew that, under the official
regulations, they would have to feed her eventually so she wouldn't starve to
death, or turn her out. The key was to be consistent.
"Give me that bag of candy, loser!" she shouted,
scaring a young boy owner out of the Pound and making a few others move away
from her.
Eventually, Dr. Death couldn't take it anymore.
Twelve days after Thaia had begun her plan, he was pulling out his hair and
offering 200 Neopoints to anyone who would take her. A few hours later, he decided
to turn her out the next day. Music to her ears.
The bell jangled at 9:13PM, very late for the
Pound. A human walked in, holding onto a red Kougra's tail and blindly following.
"I'm going to run you into a pole if you don't get your nose out of that book,"
the Kougra threatened.
The girl snorted, still not looking up. "You
know you won't, Kini." She did put it down and let go of the Kougra's tail as
she walked up to the red Uni. "I'm looking for a pet to adopt."
"Well..." The Uni flipped her mane as she thought.
"There's a cute baby Lupe named Dameon... a fire Grarrl cal-"
"Nevermind," she hastily interrupted. "I'll go
look myself." Kini leapt up and grabbed the book, holding it in a paw as her
owner glared.
"Just making sure you don't read while you look
at the pets," she grinned. "Hurry up, Jona!"
This was an interesting pair. The girl's eyes
were kind, not hard and searching for that expensive Neopet... maybe she had
a chance.
Thaia immediately squashed that idea. No, she
was getting out tomorrow... no sense in letting her heart break again.
"Kini," Jona asked, "which one would you like
for a sibling?"
The Kougra mulled it over, looking around with
sharp golden eyes. She walked over to Thaia's section; it made sense. There
was a Cybunny in the cage just above her, who was probably wiggling her nose
to look as cute as possible.
Kini turned to her owner. "What about a Peophin?"
Don't let it break again, Thaia thought,
that mistake still fresh in her mind. You've suffered enough in this wretched
place... and most owners don't even care for their pets.
"Peophin?" A pair of sneakers walked over, and
the girl bent down and looked into Thaia's face. With a sudden grin, she read
the whiteboard above the cage door. "Thaia," she whispered, trying the name
out. "Sounds perfect."
Quicker than Thaia could believe possible, Jona
signed the papers, received a bag of 200 Neopoints (the reward still standing)
and sprang Thaia from her cage. She held her plushie against her chest, looking
the same going out as coming in. Except this time, she was trying to get a look
at the book.
Kini noticed, and passed the red, leather-bound
thing back. "It's Gelert Diaries." Fascinated, she opened it up and scanned
the first paragraph... she had taught herself to read years ago, thankfully.
A paw flew in front of her face, and she jerked to a stop.
The Kougra laughed. "You're just like Jona,"
she giggled, "almost running into poles when she has her nose stuck in a book."
Thaia laughed with her... was that her? A horse's whinny, coming from her mouth?
She had never laughed before. It should have
been unnatural... but it wasn't.
The darkened streets filled with the ringing
bells of joy, as all three laughed together. Thaia had been born again.
I looked down at the two Kougras. Liz was sleeping,
stretched out on her back and snoring softly. It looked like Kiara was too,
until she opened one golden eye. "Good story," she yawned, raising a brow. "It
somehow seems familiar."
"That's the sugar wearing off," I chuckled. "Believe
what you like."
"I'm betting," Kiara said, "that Thaia wouldn't
mind if I typed up her story to read again?"
"For once, you're right." I looked out the window
at the sheets of rain pouring down, as the front door shut and Kiara ran to
see Aly and Finn. Somehow, the rain wasn't as gloomy as it once was. I settled
down and picked up the worn covers of Gelert Diaries, turning to the first page
and reading the lines I knew so well.
On a shelf above, a battered Christmas Peophin
plushie gazed at the room with a twinkle in its eyes.
The End

"I got two beautiful puppies from Deer Creek Goldens and they have been a total delight! I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and the entire family and doing business with them. They were very responsive and helpful throughout the process. I wanted calm, sweet puppies and my two are just that!! Everyday is fun and I could not be happier with my two fur babies ! Thank you Deer Creek for your outstanding breeding operation. If I had room I would get more!"
BG Siegfried
"Thank you Deer Creek Goldens! It has been a great experience working with you, in the search for a perfect puppy for our family. From the information on your website, to phone calls back and forth with Sarah, to quick responses to our email questions, you have been consistently prompt and thorough with your answers. We appreciated the updated pictures and notes about the puppy as we waited for the pickup date to arrive. We are having a great time with Laska and look forward to many happy years ahead. Thank you."
Wayne and Lynda Fiebelkorn
"Deer Creek Goldens earns 5 stars from us! From the beginning phone calls and questions until Miss Bella's arrival the entire experience was welcoming and one with ease! Sarah helped us every step of the way and we loved the constant updates and videos posted online and the personal pictures and updates emailed to us as we waited to meet our girl.
Miss Bella is very loving with our 3 kids and a joy to have in our home. She is highly intelligent and even our vet was impressed!
This experience was the easiest we have ever had and the most pleasant one as well in welcoming a new family member. I highly recommend if you want a English Golden to end your search here. Care, honesty, and a great golden is what u will find.
Thank you so much for our beautiful Miss Bella!!!"
Shawn C.
"It's been three weeks since we picked Reba up from Deer Creek and we couldn't be happier with her. She is an extremely happy, healthy and energetic white ball of cotton. We can already tell that as she gets a little older she is going to be very calm. Reba is also quickly becoming the celebrity of our neighborhood because whenever we walk her people come up to us to see her and comment on how beautiful she is. The process of adopting a puppy from Deer Creek couldn't be better. All of our questions were answered quickly and to our satisfaction and it is obvious that the Newswanger family really spends a lot of time with these puppies before they are adopted. In the not too distant future, we are going to adopt another Golden Retriever and when we are ready we will not hesitate to go back to Deer Creek. Thank you so much for letting us bring this beautiful little pup into our lives. She is bringing us a lot of joy."
Steven Kratz
"Bella is doing wonderful! We are so happy with her and the whole experience. You made things real easy with the frequent updates and pictures. I have been asked many times where we got Bella and I always give them your website. She is so quick to learn things and listens very well. We love her so much! We have received so many compliments on her. There are not many English Cream Goldens in this area. Thank you for contacting us, we will keep you posted!"
Debra Beaudette
"We are so delighted with our new puppy Sophie. She has a wonderful calm temperament and so fun loving and inquisitive. We are amazed how long she is willing to let us hold her- even at 11 weeks. Clearly she was handled and played with a lot as a small puppy. She learned to sit almost immediately and she continues to amaze us on how quickly she is learning. Our experience with Deer Creek has been stellar. Phone calls and emails have been returned promptly. We went to visit our puppy before we paid our deposit and was so impressed how immaculate the property was as well as how quiet and well behaved the dogs were as we pulled up the long drive on this gorgeous Iowa farm. I would highly recommend this breeder."
Connie Hippee
"We can't believe we have had Savannah for almost 2 weeks! It seems she has already grown so much. We have just loved having her. Her temperament is fantastic. She is so loving and sweet. And you can just look at your dogs to know how beautiful they are and she is that beautiful! Everyone that sees her comments on that one thing. We are trying to housebreak her and get her used to the crate. That just takes time. She loves our backyard and so far hasn't found a leaf she didn't like! She comes to the office with me Mon, Wed, and Fri and the patients love her. It's a great way to socialize her. I keep our grandkids (2 and 4 years old) on Tuesdays and she loves them! Our son has a 9 year old Lab that she constantly wants to play with. They are both worn out on Tuesdays. It's amazing how she has adapted to all three places. She is such a smart dog and so eager to please which helps with the training process. We LOVE this breed and are so thankful that we got her. We've never had a large dog, so she is perfect for learning how to take care of a larger breed. Thank you for doing so much to help us in getting her. We had never bought a dog through the Internet, so we were unsure of what to expect. Y'all were amazingly easy to work with and never got tired (I think) of all my questions. She was everything and more than what we expected. It was a perfect experience and we thank God for her."
David and Ladye Newby
"Caesar has grown up to be quite the handsome boy but he's in need of a friend to play with. He's absolutely beautiful and I get comments on how gorgeous he is every day. Probably the smartest dog I've ever known and so easy to train. I don't know what I'd do without him honestly. He's my whole world. I've attached a couple pictures of him and feel free to use them if you ever want to show him off."
Dave Schiele
"I wanted to send you a quick email to let you know how Max is doing at 11 weeks old and tell you and your family thank you for everything. Max is fitting in in Idaho quite well. He is a great addition to our family. We lost our 10 year old golden retriever to cancer earlier this year and thought it would be so difficult to love another dog as much as we loved our last one. Max has proven us wrong. He has brought a lot of activity and happiness to our family. We have a year old daughter and he is great with her. I can tell he played with a lot of kids before he arrived in Idaho. He goes to the park with us and loves to chase her back and forth as she swings on the swings. He also took a ride with her in her Barbie Powerwheels, it is really cute, I have attached a picture of the 2 of them together.
Numerous people have commented what a good puppy he is. Don't get me wrong, he has his puppy moments, but that is what makes having a puppy so much fun. Nearly everyone we encounter with Max comments on how beautiful he is. People we have never met before pull over from driving down the street and ask what kind of dog he is and how old he is and say he is gorgeous. After 2 trips to the vet for shots and a check up, the vet said he is doing great and is very healthy. You and your family do a wonderful job with these puppies. I have already had 2 people ask me to forward on your website link. So, don't be surprised if you get some inquiries from other people in Idaho. Thanks again for everything."

The issue of b-girl drinking was so prevalent in 1970 in Jefferson Parish that a vice squad could arrest three women for the practice, in a single raid, as pictured above after a raid on the Bikini A-Go Go Lounge in Harvey. Kenner has only had one such case in the past five years -- and it led to a lawsuit that alleged that the ordinance that makes b-girl drinking illegal is discriminatory. This week, city council will vote to amend the ordinance -- so that b-girl drinking more clearly applies to men as well. (Times Picayune Archive)
(Times Picayune Archive)
Forty-four years ago, a man wandering into bars along Fourth Street in Marrero might find a young woman who would accept his offer to buy her a drink. And she would accept that offer, again and again, sticking him with a $75 bar bill before she split. That was what one vice squad detective found himself paying after only 30 minutes of boozing with such a woman, according to a 1970 investigation by The Times-Picayune into "B-girls."
Named because they would often order brandy, B-girls were female employees to whom the bar or bartender paid a commission to flirt, solicit drinks and inflate bar tabs. While a B-girl's patron was drinking whiskey, she was most likely drinking nothing stronger than colored water, a hazard of the job that led Marilyn Monroe's character in the 1956 film "Bus Stop" to complain of the travails of drinking 15 waters nightly.
But the B-girl is not relegated to history, to a time when men thought the offer of a drink guaranteed a woman's attention and women with fewer economic opportunities sought to exploit the men's interest. Rather, the illegal practice is still the subject of a couple of arrests yearly in Jefferson Parish, according to the parish attorney's office. And on Thursday, B-girls will be the subject of an amendment proposed on a local ordinance in Kenner, where the City Council is set to vote to broaden the definition of the offender from B-girl to B-drinker.
By making the title gender neutral, Kenner hopes to avoid potential lawsuits, Assistant City Attorney Francine Weaker said. "We don't want anyone in the future to say, 'You're discriminating against guys because you're not arresting them'."
To Christine Sismondo, author of "America Walks into a Bar: A Spirited History of Taverns and Saloons," the idea of a law against B-drinking might be rooted in discrimination to begin with. It harkens back to a time when men thought that a woman's desire to go home with them could be aroused with the purchase of a drink, Sismondo said.
But in Kenner, the change to the law arises from a different sort of discrimination. In March 2011, city officials sought to revoke the liquor license of Taqueria Sanchez. With two locations on busy Williams Boulevard, the restaurant chain had gained a rap sheet four pages long: Of the 10 calls to police made from Kenner bars in January 2011, nine came from the Taqueria Sanchez locations. Police cited complaints such as battery, aggravated battery, public urination and drunken driving, vehicle theft and disturbing the peace.
"You don't have knives brandished in restaurants. You don't have bottles broken over people's heads in restaurants," Police Chief Steve Caraway said.
Along with the knives, police said they found a rare instance of B-girl drinking. It was the only allegation of b-girl drinking that the city attorney's office or the Police Department could recall in the past five years.
While the owners of Taqueria Sanchez acknowledged other violations, they protested that they had never employed B-girls, Weaker said. General manager Sandy Kawas told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune that the owners and managers had not known there were B-drinkers at the business.
Sismondo, the book author, said it is very difficult to prove a woman was a b-drinker if a bar disavows employing her. "How do you regulate people's intent over a flirty few drinks? How do you establish that a bar owner has a pattern of collusion?" she said.
The owners of the Taqueria Sanchez went further in protesting the charges. They filed a petition calling the law against B-girl drinking unconstitutional, because it applied only to women, Weaker said.
Because Kenner already had enough evidence to revoke the licenses for a year and fine the owners, city officials decided to drop the allegations of B-girl drinking against Taqueria Sanchez.
Still, Weaker looked into tightening the ordinance's language for revoking liquor licenses, so such a disruption would not occur in the future. She found previous cases wherein bar owners fought charges of B-girl drinking on the grounds that the law was discriminatory as to gender and thus unconstitutional. In one 1984 case, the state Supreme Court concluded the statute was not discriminatory and that it punished men and women equally, in part because "a person of ordinary intelligence is given adequate notice of the conduct to be avoided," regardless of gender.
Despite that, Weaker opted to play it safe and change the wording of the Kenner ordinance, to scrub out any implications of a gender bias. In doing so, Kenner officials followed the example of Jefferson Parish, which in 2012 changed the wording of its law from forbidding B-girl drinking to forbidding B-drinkers, said Assistant Parish Attorney Reed Smith.
Since that change was enacted, no male B-drinkers have been arrested on the charge, Smith said. Still, "If any establishment were caught in such violation, we would treat it no differently than establishments charged with female b-drinking," he said.
"It's certainly not a big issue," Weaker said. "Maybe the culture has changed. Back then, maybe it was just women, or maybe there are some stereotypes going on, and some prejudice against women."

Brace yourselves, "Grame of Thrones" fans. Trevor Noah has found a way to liken Donald Trump to Jon Snow.
To do so, the "Daily Show" host explained on Thursday night who was chiefly responsible for electing the real-estate mogul to the highest office in the land. He was elected by Middle America, a part of the country that has seen their industrial areas gutted and their jobs leave the country. And the host warned against jumping to the conclusion that racists elected Trump.
"Yes, there were plenty of racists and bigots among [Trump voters], but far from all of them," the host said on Thursday's episode of "The Daily Show." "The final results of the election also showed that a lot of Trump voters had previously voted for President Obama, which doesn't seem like something a racist person would do — unless they're racist and cross-eyed."
The show then ran news clips about the devastated towns all over Middle America after their factories closed and jobs went elsewhere.
"When you look at the election results, the color red doesn't necessarily mean white power," Noah said. "It can also mean there are people who wanted the world to pay attention to them, the unseen."
And here's where he gets to the "Thrones" comparison: "If this were 'Game of Thrones,' Trump is basically Jon Snow. He realized that the Wildlings were registered voters, too. And now, their support has brought him to power."

People Experiencing Poverty
In the late 1990s, EAPN along with other social NGOs pressed the European institutions for an anti-poverty policy that really delivers. This intensive lobbying resulted in the implementation of the European Social Inclusion Strategy decided on at the Nice Summit in 2000.
We placed particular emphasis on Objective 4 of that strategy, which calls for all relevant bodies to be mobilised, especially people experiencing poverty. Since then, there has been considerable progress in translating fine words and good intentions into concrete actions.
The first European Meeting of people experiencing poverty was held in 2001 under the Belgian presidency of the EU at the instigation of the Belgian government. Some members of EAPN were involved.
Over time, these meetings have turned into an EU Presidency/European Commission initiative, a development of major political significance. The meetings have gradually risen up the European authorities and Member States' agendas, and are now seen as a big policy event where the expertise of people experiencing poverty can be leveraged. The meetings now involve nearly 200 people working in 17 languages.
EAPN (Europe) organises and facilitates the meetings, and the EAPN national networks prepare and support the delegations.
The meeting so far have been:
- 2011: Tenth Meeting, Hungarian Government. The Irish delegation of Michael Mackey, Laura Pierce, Mary Connors and Karen Fitzpatrick focused on the themes of employment, work and jobs. The delegation prepared recommendations and a theatrical presentation of the challenges of those living in poverty. The group presented the constant struggles facing someone experiencing poverty and social exclusion to become independent and gain their dignity.
You can view a video of their theatrical presentation here.
- 2010: Ninth Meeting, Spanish Government. Firstly the initial findings of a research on the impact of EU Meetings were presented and discussed. Secondly there was an exchange between the delegates and the members of the European Parliament. Thirdly the delegations of people experiencing poverty discussed and presented their 10 years Action Plans for fighting against poverty. They did this by reflecting on the proposals which came from previous meetings. It was hoped that the ideas that emerged from this exercise would be taken up in the final declaration from the 2010 European Year for Combating poverty and social exclusion. The Irish delegation was composed of Mary Connors (Irish Traveller Movement), James McKeon (Fingal Centre for the Unemployed), Joan Courtney (OPEN) and Olga Dubyna (Migrant Rights Centre Ireland). You can access a review of the European meetings of People Experiencing Poverty here.
- 2009: Eighth Meeting, Czech Government. The theme of the Meeting was Where we live – What we need and focused on the issues of housing, financial exclusion and access to basic services. The Irish delegation looked at issues related to the health services and the delegates were Mary Connors (Irish Traveller Movement), Karen Fitzpatrick (One Family), Michael Mackey (Galway Simon) and Mary Mason (Older Women's Network.
- 2008: Seventh Meeting, Slovenian Government. The Theme was the '4 pillars in the Fight against Poverty' (Minimum Income, Housing, Social Services and Service of General Interest). The Irish Delegation was Sammy Brill (Muscular Dystrophy Ireland), Michael Mackey (Galway Simon) and Salome Mbugua (AkiDwA). The delegation focused on the issue of housing. On 25 November 2008 EAPN Ireland launched a DVD of the Irish delegation to the 7th European Meeting of People Experiencing Poverty in Brussels in May 2008. This movie 'A Journey for Change' is available in two parts on YouTube.
Make sure to check out the Irish delegation's presentation
- 2007: Sixth Meeting, German Government. Theme: Tackling Poverty and Social Exclusion – progress made, future steps. The Irish delegation included Rajat Bhatnagar and Ma. Lourdes Hernan(Migrant Rights Centre Ireland), Egide Dhala (SPIRASI) and Salome Mbugua (AkiDwA)
Read the presentation of the Irish Delegation at the sixth Meeting.
- 2006: Fifth Meeting, Austrian Government.
Theme: How do we cope with everyday life?. See the poster produced by the Irish delegation – 'Poverty: Seeing the picture and changing it', and read the Report and the key messages on the meeting from the Austrian Presidency.
- 2005: Fourth meeting, Luxemburg Government. "Images and perceptions of poverty". See Report. The Irish delegation was Breda Dunne and Joan Courtney (OPEN), Sancha Magat and Olga Dubyna (Migrant Rights Centre) with Robin Hanan (workshop facilitator).
- 2004: Third Meeting, Irish Government. Theme: Participation is a two way street. Read the Report from the Meeting
- 2003: Second Meeting: Greek Government. Theme: We also participate in Europe!. See the Report from the Meeting
- 2001: First Meeting, Belgian Government focusing on housing, health, training and incomes. The big conclusion of this first event was that people experiencing poverty had the knowledge and expertise to analyse exclusion, and aimed to take part in society and the decisions that affect their life. The Report is entitled 'Our Voices Must be Heard'

On the 25th June, we celebrated our 5th year of the TICE programme at Northumbria University. Parents, TICE students (past & present), schools, mentors and project sponsors were welcomed to share the achievements of 105 students from 5 North East schools: Longbenton Community College, Burnside Business & Enterprise College, Heaton Manor School, St Thomas More Catholic School and All Saints College.
Our Final Show is a major event in the TICE calendar, not only does it provide an audience an array of creative talent to be viewed and heard it also gives more schools and companies an opportunity to hear what TICE is all about. This year we had opening the show Gill Rowe, Associate Dean for Learning and Teaching in the Faculty of Art, Design and Social Sciences from Northumbria University, not only did Gill welcome everyone to the university but also helped in supporting our cause by further highlighting issues and topics that TICE has been aiming to achieve.
This year the aim was to tackle (my own quote) "the ridiculous notion of creative subjects being a soft option". As I keenly discussed the fact that many (too many) students are discouraged from taking a creative subject such as photography, textiles and music as they are seen as too 'vocational' for 'intelligent' or more 'academic' students. It seemed to strike a chord with many in the audience as many parents, students and company professionals came after my speech to relay their own stories and experiences. Possibly I was talking to the already converted but there were still quite a few that openly admitted they hadn't thought of where their children could go onto if creative subjects were in their future. I may have had a small victory (hurrah).
As I continued to discuss it's extremely hard work to get into schools to even discuss the endless possibilities this programme can cover. Yes, we have subject titles such as Fashion, Film, Music, Graphics etc… but some still fail to connect the dots to what else this programme includes, starting with… communication, digital technology, media, ICT, creative writing, project management, business studies… I can go on. Yes, all creative subjects which students will need access to if they are going to enter the largest most successful sector in the UK, yes you've guessed the Creative Industries.
I'm not going to preach too long this time, but there seriously needs some changes in the choices of subjects that young people are advised to take. Creativity is the core of ALL successful companies and organisations and if the 'academic' or 'intelligent' students are not made more aware of the importance of dealing with issues creatively or being put in charge of creative projects then we may be in a bit of trouble, yes push them towards the financial sector, obviously very clever sector which is deemed more acceptable and won't lead this country into any difficulties… oh hang on (but don't worry we'll help you out and put a creative spin on it)…
Rant over… take a look at our Final Show photos:

HDFC Bank VP murder: I killed him, had to clear my EMIs, arrested cabbie tells court
New Delhi, Sep 11: The arrested cabbie has told the police that he killed the HDFC Bank Vice President for money. He also said that he had no money to pay the EMIs for his bike and hence killed Siddharth Sanghvi for the money.
The cab driver, Sarfaraz Shaikh, who was arrested by the Mumbai police had initially said that he was hired to kill Sanghvi. He had also said that some of his colleagues were upset with his promotion and hence hired him to carry out the murder The police had however said that the cab driver was inconsistent in his replies.
HDFC Bank VP murder: Killing not by office rivals, but due to robbery attempt
Shaikh said that he had kept a close watch on Sanghvi. I had no option and I was under immense pressure to clear the EMIs. Whatever happened, I did it, he also told the metropolitan magistrate.
Sanghvi, 39 had gone missing after leaving his office in the Kamala Mills compound, Mumbai on Wednesday. The next day his car with blood stains was found at Airoli in Navi Mumbai. A knife was also found at the spot.
The police say that Shaikh had killed Sanghvi on Wednesday itself and then dumped his body near a place called Haji Malang, some 40 kilometres away from Kalyan. The police are still looking into the CCTV footage captured by the police control rooms in Thane and Navi Mumbai. However nothing has emerged from it as yet. The other routes that were taken by the killer are now being scanned.
HDFC Bank VP murder: A promotion, personal rivalry are possible motives
Shaikh was arrested on the basis of technical evidence. The police managed to get the location of Shaikh as Saghvi's mobile was switched on for a few minutes on Wednesday. The phone was traced to Navi Mumbai. When Shaikh was arrested, the phone was found on him.

By Paul Zitzer
Heading into Vegas there really wasn't much question about who was going to win the 2010 Dew Cup in skateboard vert. After taking the top spot in Boston and then getting second in both Portland and SLC, all Pierre Luc Gagnon had to do to claim the Cup was finish in the top four, which he did, like taking candy from a baby. So congrats to PLG who, after winning it in '08 before losing it to Bucky last year, managed to snatch it back in 2010.
Vert podium (l-r) – Pierre Luc Gagnon, 2nd; Shaun White, 1st; Andy Macdonald, 3rd
Pierre, who was looking super polished throughout with tons of back-to-back tech wizardry, looked like he was going to take it home. But in the end the judges gave Shaun's massive air attack their gold stamp, leaving Pierre in second place behind Shaun for the third consecutive event.
"This is the perfect way to end the season, especially after winning X Games, Maloof and then Dew Cup. It was just a little bit frustrating to play it safe all day and not really go for the run I was trying off the bat. But I'm a little bit older, smarter and I thought the Cup was more important that just a single contest, so I played it safe." -PLG
But that was just one story from the weekend. Other stories include the vert ramp being built over the pool at the Hard Rock Hotel, where buxom bikini-clad waitresses served cocktails to buxom bikini-clad patrons. This arrangement, while pleasant, was difficult on the judges, whose steely determination was the only thing keeping them focused on the action at hand. The vert action, that is.
Marcelo Bastos, kickflip lien
Sandro Dias was perhaps the only skater that didn't bring an extra setup (despite numerous warnings about the likelihood of boards flying into the drink). He suffered the consequences of his ill-fated decision when his board dove off the back of the ramp and went for a swim. Fifteen minutes later he nearly rode away from a waterlogged 900. He finished sixth.
Sandro Dias, alley oop kickflip indy
Shortly before the prelims on Saturday, Rob Lorifice over-rotated a 540 and landed square on the back of his head, causing his helmet to split almost in two. But instead of being over it, he came back with a vengeance and ripped his way into the finals, where he put together a whole smorgasbord of combos to finish eighth. Nicely done.
Rob Lorifice, stalefish
It was good to see Rune Glifberg back in the finals. After spending so much time terrorizing innocent concrete bowls, it seems he's found some new inspiration on the pipe as of late, and he delivered with the first kickflip backside lipslide we've seen since… well probably since the last time he was in the finals. Although his best skating happened in the prelims, if you're a fan you'll just be glad to know it happened.
Rune Glifberg, switch kickflip
In reality, Elliot Sloan is from New Jersey, but can you blame him for claiming New York City? Either way, he grew up skating the vert ramp at Chelsea Piers (R.I.P.). It was garbage BTW. Now, after relocating to San Diego and spending four long years on the Dew Tour, Elliot made it to his first final, where he proceeded to kill it. He's always had the style, height, and tricks, just not the consistency. In Vegas he stayed on and gave us a preview of things to come. Hopefully.
Now on to the final round, or super final, or whatever you want to call it, where the top five guys from the first round of the finals go to decide a winner. Nine times out of 10, Bucky Lasek, Andy Macdonald and PLG all make it in, and if Shaun White shows up, you can be sure to find him in there as well. Vegas was no exception, with all four advancing, plus everyone's favorite bowl-shredding-mega-ramping-vert-ripping-Brazilian-that-isn't-Bob, Pedro Barros, whose (accidentally) no-footed 720 in the eight-foot range says everything you need to know about his skating. Unfortunately he had too many bails to threaten the podium dwellers, but the next time he stays on, watch out! Fifth place.
Pedro Barros, kickflip indy Elliot Sloan, lien method
Every skater in the super final did 720s, except Bucky Lasek. Some people are born to spin from fakie, others are born to race cars, look sharp, and do nollie flip tail slides. Bucky falls into the latter group. In Vegas, his weapon of choice to counter all of the dizziness was the seldom seen frontside bluntslide. Unfortunately this trick ended up taking him out, numerous times, and more or less ruined his shot at another Dew Cup. It was still rad to see him make even one though. Fourth place.
Bucky Lasek, kickflip fakie
Andy Mac unveiled a new trick, the Candy Flip, which to put in layman's terms is like, really hard. You know how you see most new moves unveiled at a best trick contest, and then years later they work their way into the person's runs? Not so with Andy. If he can do it once, he can wire it and sandwich it between two other ridiculously hard tricks. Third place.
"That's a new one for skateboarding. It's never been done before. I learned it at Woodward this summer into the foam pit and I probably made it like four times in just practice. And I came to this event and said if I get a solid run, I want to do that in my run. It took a couple tries, but I pulled it off." – Andy Mac
For the third time in as many contests, it all came down to Canada vs. the U.S., skate vs. snow, hip-hop vs. rock and roll, or PLG vs. Shaun White. And both came through with the goods. Although Shaun seemed to be struggling in Vegas more than he did at the two previous stops, he still managed to put together some of his best combos. It should be noted however that in the finals the armadillo stayed in its shell.
"I didn't make the first stop, but that's just the thing. I probably wouldn't have made any stops if I tried to skate that stop from being injured. And you know, what a comeback. So I'm happy." -Shaun White
When the computer finished its year-end calculations, the print out had Shaun third in points in the race for the Cup, only 57 points behind PLG. What this means is that if Shaun would have taped his ankle and skated in Boston, all he would have needed was an eighth-place finish or higher there and he would be your 2010 Dew Cup champ. But, taking a step back, my guess is that a guy with two gold medals and a Lamborghini will somehow survive the heartbreak.

Not a book for newcomers to network security but rather a book for those already experienced in network security who are looking for ways to take security to the next level.
My Rating:
Everyone needs to consider the security of their own computer and the information that it contains. When you have a network then security becomes even more important and the bigger the network the more important security becomes. Larger companies usually employ one or more staff whose job it is to look after the security of that network.
If looking after the security of your company network is your job then you presumably already have a significant knowledge of security issues and how to tackle them. Of course security is a moving target as crackers find ways to beat any particular security measures. That's where this book comes in with information for someone with a reasonable level of knowledge of network security to build on that knowledge and beef up the security of their network by implementing specific security features.
Introductory security books deal with what sorts of things you need to secure against and what you can use to implement that security. They don't go into great depth as to how those security measures work or what you can do to improve on them. This book takes over from where those books leave off and is an extremely useful addition to the bookshelf in any company's security department..

Holiday Cheer
Christmas came to our house suddenly last weekend. Devon (and the cat) helped us bring up the ornaments from storage and set up the Christmas train. Gigi loves Christmas, but not locomotion.
After dinner we went shopping for the shiniest lights. Shauna is good at finding sparkly things. We went to the park to see the Wonders of Winter for inspiration, then spent the rest of the evening making the whole house glitter:
And once our house was full of Christmas cheer, we went on a trip to see other houses Devon could cheer up with his shrieks of delight and attack maneuvers, since that's what Christmas is all about:
