text: DigitalFBLA EXCLUSIVE: Family Friendly Tribune Company Threatens To Leave Employees Dependents In The ColdBy Greg|September 25, 2007ShareBy Greg|September 25, 2007ShareThe Tribune, via consultant Mercer, sent an audit to LAT employees asking them to send verification that the people listed as dependents for benefits really are dependents. If they didn't by the middle of this month, those dependents would be dropped.The results have been a giant time-suck, not to mention insulting (and somewhat panic-inducing), as this letter from Sacto reporter Jordan Rau to Luis Lewin, Tribune's senior vice president for human resources shows:I am one of the employees at the Los Angeles Times who has been told to provide Mercer with proof that the dependents who receive benefits through the company are not fictitious. Last week I faxed off the information to Mercer with a request that they confirm receipt via email, but so far I have heard nothing from them, even after sending by express mail the paperwork to them as well.Since the audit threatens us with the automatic loss of our health care coverage with a fraud-until-proven-innocent approach, I am requesting that you instruct Mercer to (1) confirm in writing to each audited employee that their paperwork has been received, and (2) notify each audited employee in writing whether our relatives have been judged valid or phantoms, so that if Mercer makes an error I have time to correct it before they boot my wife and 20-month-old son off of our health care coverage.Given the time, trouble and insult this exercise has put all of us through, I would also like to know how many ghost dependents this audit and the previous one end up discovering here at the Times, and whether the savings Tribune-wide are greater than the consulting fees Tribune is paying Mercer. Since Tribune's corporate values include Employee Involvement and Teamwork, such an action would be perfectly consistent with this audit's respectful skepticism of our integrity (which, when capitalized, is also a Tribune value).Sincerely yours,Jordan RauJordan Rau Sacramento Bureau And here is the follow Rau sent out to Lewin yesterday:I am writing to follow up on an email I sent you on Sept. 21 complaining about the Mercer dependent audit. As I'm sure you recall, I wrote to ask that you instruct Mercer to confirm receipt of the information proving that my alleged wife and reputed 20-month-old son do in fact exist and deserve to remain on the Tribune health insurance plan.Upon return from work last evening, I received a letter from Mercer entitled "2nd Notice: Immediate Action Required." The notice again threatened that unless I sent in the requested documentation by Oct. 5, health coverage for my wife and son "will end." The letter was postmarked Sept. 20, which was 13 days after I sent by express mail the required forms, and 10 days after an employee of Mercer signed the return receipt.Needless to say, I was quite disturbed and left a lengthy, unhappy email on the company's line. In a conversation this morning, a company vice president admitted that they received my paperwork and sent me a confirmation email that my documentation of dependents has been confirmed. This is good news for them because if I was going to have to send Mercer any more proof, I was ready to mail off the contents of my son's diaper genie.Though my case appears to have been resolved, I am passing along this tale to alert you that many other Tribune employees may also be jolted by similar Mercer letters. Therefore, I reiterate the request I made in my previous email: that you instruct Mercer to send written confirmation to every employee that their documentation has been received and that they have met the proof standard of this wasteful and demeaning "audit."I am also encouraging, via the technological magic of the courtesy copy, that all Times employees who are being audited should demand written proof that their documents have been received and validated, since the administration of this "audit" to date has been less than confidence-inspiring, both in Mercer and in Tribune.The painful irony in all this is that this energy in stopping Tribune from taking away my family's health coverage has distracted me from my actual job responsibility: to cover Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's efforts to ensure that all people have health insurance. Given all the challenges that Tribune faces, one would think that the company would want us to focus on more important endeavors.I still look forward to learning from you whether the Mercer audit has recouped costs greater than the fees Tribune is paying to Mercer. I'm pasting a copy of my original email below to refresh your recollection.Sincerely,Jordan Rau Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kQS99X copy Adweek Adweek

It was the Saido and Southampton show as England's Under 21s eased towards European Championship qualification.
West Brom ace Saido Berahino hit two more goals to his continue his sensational scoring sequence while James Ward-Prowse and Luke Shaw continued the Saints' international success story.
Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Jay Rodriguez are all in Roy Hodgson's squad for Friday's clash with Chile but their young south coast team-mates could well be joining them in the not too distant future based on this display.
Midfielder Ward-Prowse created the first for Michael Keane while left back Shaw set up Berahino for the second before the Burundi-born striker added the gloss in injury time with his six goal in five Under 21 games.
He is looking every bit the international-class finisher that could feature for the senior side in years to come.
But the 20-year-old will miss Tuesday's clash with San Marino after picking up a booking for displaying a T-shirt tribute to his dad, who was killed in the civil war in his homeland, after scoring.
Boss Gareth Southgate said: "Hopefully it won't be too costly, it was a personal thing but had we known we would not have let him go out with it on his shirt.
"Saido's a good finisher and a pleasure to work with. He has a desire to improve."
Finland, who had drawn 1-1 with Southgate's side two months ago, were never in the contest especially after all-action Ward-Prowse laid on the first for Manchester United defender Keane on 22 minutes.
Left-back Shaw was also impressing and it was his 37th-minute shot saved by Jesse Joronen which fell kindly to Berahino to all but make the game safe.
England have now won four and drawn once from their five games in the qualification stage as they picked off their opponents at will especially after Patrick O'Shaughnessy picked up a sending off for a second bookable offence for a foul on Shaw.
Berahino then hit the bar but made no mistake in injury time from Jesse Lingard's pass.

How PC are you? And is that a good thing? How politically correct (PC) are you? The Political Correctness Inventory (PCI) will help you to answer that question. On it, you will find pairs of statements representing the politically correct and politically incorrect position on a broad range of contemporary issues, all the way from sex and education to politics and science.
What does it mean to be PC? It means to adhere to the belief system shared by the most intelligent, influential, and attractive people in America today. By taking this test, you will find out how closely your own thinking matches that of the smartest opinion-makers in our nation's universities and the most captivating taste-makers in Hollywood and the media.
Read more: The 12 Hottest Cultural Conflicts in America
Clinical psychologists and psychiatrists are coming to regard those with insufficiently developed PC sensibilities as harmful to society. In fact, PC Deficit Disorder (PCDD) has been identified as form of mental disturbance warranting inclusion in the upcoming edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM VI). PCDD appears widespread in certain corners of American culture, where it confuses citizens and causes them to vote against their own interests (as explained by political scientist Thomas Frank).
The Test
The PC Inventory was commissioned by TheBestSchools.org and developed by a cross-disciplinary team with expertise in psychological testing, social psychology, cultural criticism, and philosophy. Our team has been assisting people struggling with PCDD for many years, so we are well placed to advocate on behalf of PCDD survivors.
Taking The Test
The PCI consists of 40 pairs of statements. For each pair, select the statement with which you more nearly agree. This is a forced-choice test. For some statement pairs, you may not feel comfortable with either choice, but do the best you can. The test is short and will take only a few minutes to complete.
Use of this inventory is strictly for educational purposes. It must not be taken as offering psychological diagnosis, proving the presence or absence of PCDD. Take this test only if you are interested in learning about political correctness and how it is assessed. Your answers will be anonymous, but they will be recorded and used for research.

School closure information
School closure information
Our aim is to keep the school open whenever it is possible to do so. Reduced attendance of any kind impacts on students' learning and progress so it is vital that the school only closes in exceptional circumstances. The school will only close to students if the site is deemed to be unsafe. The decision to open or close the school does not take into account the journey to and from school as each student has a different journey to make. It is important that parents/carers satisfy themselves that their child can safely make the journey before they allow them to depart.
We try to make a decision to close as early as possible in order to allow parents/carers time to make alternative arrangements if necessary. Depending on conditions we may text to inform you of a late start, which will be 9.15am. If your child arrives before this time they will be supervised upon arrival. We will alert parents/carers to any closure in a variety of ways:-
- We will send a text message to all participating people through the 'Keep Kids Safe' service.
- We will post a message on the website www.aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk
- We will post a message on the school Facebook page.
- We will pass information on to the Local Authority.
Thank you for your understanding and continuing support.

Low Power - Spratbook
The best of the GQRP Journal - the first 150 issues 1974 - 2012
QRP - the art and science of low-power operation - is one of the most popular aspects of amateur radio. In the UK, the G QRP Club has been a leading light in this area of operation since its formation in 1974. Its journal, SPRAT is recognised as one of the world's leading QRP publications and it has now reached its 150th edition. This milestone is marked by this publication of this book, which is a selection the best of nearly four decades of low-power amateur radio circuits and ideas that have been published in SPRAT.
The Low Power Spratbook is divided into seven parts, covering transmitters, receivers, transceivers, antennas, ATUs, Morse keys and keyers, and a section for those circuits that do not fall happily into any particular part but which might best be categorised as 'miscellaneous'. Circuits vary in complexity from an "ultra-simple" 80m CW transceiver using just 14 parts to the more sophisticated 'Sparkford', designed by Walford Electronics and also for use on 80m CW. You will find early 'classics' within these pages, including the 'OXO' transmitter from 1981 and the 'ONER' dating from 1985 / 1986, both GM3OXX designs. The Low Power Spratbook also includes QRP classics such as versions of the 'FOXX' transceiver, the 'Pixie' in its various guises, the 'Epiphyte' and the 'Naxos'. All are presented as exact copies as they were originally printed.
The Low Power Spratbook will appeal to the dedicated QRP enthusiast through to all those who have never tried QRP construction work before. This book is a veritable gold mine of ingenious designs and circuits and provides a superb introduction and reference book dedicated to the art and science of low-power or QRP amateur radio.

Beautiful Moments
We all have beautiful moments in our lives every day. They are right in front of us. It might be the beauty of a child's smile, someone's laugh, or a colorful sunset. Unfortunately, many people are so preoccupied with hurrying from one stressful encounter to another, that life's moments rush by unnoticed.
Like everybody else, I have a busy life. I'm always moving from one thing to another, but I'm always looking up and down and here and there too. There's so much beauty to be found in nature, and in the realities of life. I love life and I love people, and am seldom ever stressed or depressed by what I see.
This past week, while my husband and I were walking through Home Depot, I heard a little child behind us singing "…dashing through the snow… in a one horse open sleigh." I immediately chimed in with "…o'er the fields we go… laughing all the way." She ran ahead of us and turned back with a "who could possibly be singing with me" expression on her face. When she saw me, she smiled. I will never forget that cute little face as we both skipped right into the chorus, "Jingle Bells, Jingle bells…." She went off singing, and we moved into another isle while I continued, "…Jingle all the way."
If you have ever been in the audience for one of my Keynote Presentations, breakout sessions, workshops, or retreats, you will have heard me say that we should:
"Enjoy life – every golden minute of it – even when the gold is tarnished."
Every minute we are breathing we create approximately 500 thoughts within our brain. When our thoughts are negative, our muscle strength decreases and we become depressed. Both of these results can have a profound impact on our long-term health and vitality. Out of those thoughts, we speak about 150 words a minute. If those words are golden and joyful, they create energy within us. If they are negative and angry, they weaken us.
On another occasion, I came out of a grocery store and saw a beautiful sunset. "Wow. What beautiful colors," I said out loud. The woman putting her grocery bags in the car next to me looked up and said, "Oh! I hadn't noticed. It is pretty."
Do take a moment or two to look up and down and here and there at all the beauty around you this holiday season. There are so many opportunities to find it, especially within the beauty of nature and the reality of life. It only takes a moment.
Carolyn Finch, the Body Language Expert known for her "Oops! Your Body Language is Showing" Keynote Speech, also speaks about "The Trinity of Health: Moving Well, Eating Well, and Thinking Well." You can contact her at Electrific Solutions Inc. (203-405-3976) for more information about how to engage her to speak to your group. You can also visit her website: www.carolynfinch.com, or send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com

When you have little children, you only want the best for them. You wish to see them grow and enjoy all that you can offer them. That dream can be a little challenging to realize if your child has some form of disability. However, if your child has a disability, you do not give up on them; in fact you become their source of inspiration.
You show them that there is always another way to live life fully. They learn from you to be creative, and they go ahead to show you amazing stuff that you never thought they would do.
That is what the mom in the video below did with her child who has cerebral palsy. She decided to spend quality time with her, showing her how to dance when the music starts playing. Isn't it adorable to see the child enjoying the music with all her heart? This is the best thing a mother can do to her baby. Making her feel not left out, showing her that all is well and possible. That is one of those moments that let us know that our mothers are God-sent.
Please SHARE the video below to show solidarity with all children with special needs.

Well known soccer star Jaba Mahlangu aka "Pule" was busted this weekend in a stolen car. After the vehicle was reported stolen, vehicle tracking company Netstar was immediately notified. The NetStar vehicle tracking system was able to help police find and recover the stolen vehicle. The suspects apparently had no idea the car was equipped with a GPS tracking system.
The stolen vehicle was not easy for police to recover. The driver of the vehicle was trying to lose the police and drove at very high speeds in an attempt to get away. Using the GPS signal from the vehicle tracking system along with the help of an overhead flight squad, law enforcement finally was able to catch the driver and recover the stolen car.
Three other men were in the car when police finally caught them. Mahlangu was not driving the car and all four of the men were arrested.
This is not Mahlangu's first run-in with the law. The African soccer star is known for being a "bad boy" and has been arrested several times. He is also known for his disappearing acts before major soccer matches and numerous visits to drug and alcohol rehab centers.
In 2003 he was accused of kidnapping a young girl. In 2005, he was involved in two drunk-driving accidents. In 2007, he was accused of raping and kidnapping a 19 year old girl.

Pinterest's potential isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. But if you're a digital manager, you need a clear point of view on this for those you advise.
Yes, there's hype, but Pinterest is the front edge of at least two important digital marketing trends.
This is the first in a series of three posts taking a strategic view of what's shaping-up to be 2012's breakthrough new social network.
What's Pinterest?
Pinterest, in case you haven't heard of it, is Tumblr with some different features. Like Tumblr, it allows you to post your own stuff, as well as stuff you find around the internet, with the click of a button.
Where Tumblr is a blog variant, Pinterest lets you set up sub-blogs built around a particular interest or topic. So you can post all the cute pictures of pugs on one board and all the pictures about the economy on another. It also lets you search everyone else's boards easily.
That's really about it. One friend described it as "Delicious for pictures". Of course, delicious is text-driven and used by guys, while Pinterest is a scrapbook designed to drive relentless word-of-mouth referrals among women and apparently, Silicon Valley investors.
The size of Pinterest's splash
So why is there so much buzz around this? The numbers: The site beta-launched in March 2010 and is still invite-only.
Despite this, the user base surpassed 10m in December, and according to Google DoubleClick, now has 21m worldwide unique visitors per month.
Forrester analyst Darika Ahrens sums up Pinterest's allure below:
Pinterest is well known for having a demographic of 18-34-year-old, upper-income women from the Midwest - if that's not who you sell to, then Pinterest may not be for you,'' she said. "I'd ask, can you afford to be playing with pretty pictures when there are other, more urgent, interactive marketing priorities?'
Of course, as women make a huge range of purchase decisions for themselves and others (think travel, health care, home goods, food) having first-mover advertage can be an attractive proposition to many brands.
One of the things I appreciate about Pinterest is who uses it. When I look at the people I'm connected to on Google+, most of the posts I see are from a small number of tech-savvy 'early adopter' social media windbags.
They post a lot. But I don't see ordinary people on G+. Not as they are on Facebook, and Pinterest. There are many more ordinary people in this world. Unlike G+ and Twitter, Pinterest didn't have to jump a chasm to get to a majority market, its where they started.
And Pinterest is easy to use. Lots of people don't get Twitter, or the value of an unstructured stream of 140 character utterances. But organizing collections of inspiring images is a natural, even reflexive task. Its social media, but with only the need to curate images you like. That's a low barrier to participation.
The social media hype cycle is suggesting the solar system has a new axis called Pinterest. Is it wrong?
- SJ Mercury News: Pinterest, not Facebook, is Silicon Valley's hottest social network. (Guess it's too late to get in on Facebooks's IPO.)
- CNBC: "He credits the fast-growing site Pinterest for amplifying his online sales to 50 percent of his current business. On the site, he can let his art speak for itself." (Was it speaking for someone else on another site?)
- Tire Review (not making that up): Is Pinterest of Any Interest for the Tire Industry?
- There's already a service which claims to analyze one's influence through Pinterest.
- Heck, the U.S. Army has even put out a manual on using the site. (File under: You know you have too much money when…)
Is Pinterest for real?
This just has the feel of Color– remember Color? Less than a year ago it scored $41m of investment for its photo-sharing app from Sequoia and Bain Capital. And in social media it was everywhere — for all of two weeks.
Then everyone forgot about it after realizing its business model was the classic "Make something cool and hope Google buys it." (And believe me, I have nothing against that business model. All offers cheerfully considered, Mr. Brin.)
Pinterest's strategic role: TOFU Supreme
It turns out Pinterest is staking out a highly valuable position in the marketing universe.
Hannibal Lecter, the fantastic bad guy in Silence of the Lambs reminds us of a marketing truth when he asked his interrogator, "And how do we begin to covet, Clarice? Do we seek out things to covet? No. We begin by coveting what we see every day...Don't your eyes seek out the things you want?"
Before someone heads to Google to search with intent, they have to discover what they want. Sites like Pinterest start up to the Top of Funnel (TOFU) where sentiment gets formed.
Picture your friends making up lists right now of the best things they want. The list of the things they want can inspire others. If even a fraction of this demand can be directed to merchants, then there's a new conduit of demand, one that circumvents search. That's why marketers should care.
But the tide that brought attention to Pinterest can quickly shift. It would shift especially quickly if people start getting cranky about copyright issues. And then there are those pesky questions about Pinterest needing a business model.
So next we'll talk about the clever legal finesse behind Pinterest, which is what it takes to handle a potential copyright bomb.
Comments (20)
Surely a massive difference between Color and Pinterest is that huge numbers of people are using Pinterest and its usage grew largely organically before mainstream press started picking up on it.
Pinterest feels to me like a triumph of user experience.
It feels so simple to use but it's incredibly sophisticated -- in the way it guides and teaches the user, handles images, encourages sharing and works across platforms.
I think this one will stick.
Agreed -- Pinterest's organic growth in the "mainstream" market helped reached scale before the hype train got going...
And Doug is right that Pinterest is a user experience triumph - right down the the mechanics that build your following through unseen automatic processes.
If Facebook has the feel of a neighborhood cook out - then Pinterest feels like a lounge in the back of your favorite store.
Pinterest still lacks a good mobile client - its hard to impossible to pin using Pinterest's programs on an iPhone. But something tells me this is fully surmountable.
I think the only way Pinterest could fail now is if the copyright bomb you mentioned blows up in their face. Although, to be honest, not many users spend time reading the Terms and conditions.
And even if all Pinterest really wanted was to wait for a Google offer (which I doubt), it might still be online after being purchased. It's earning potential is just too high.

It seems that it's a day for Pinterest posts. We just published one with some ideas on how brands can use it without being too overly promotional: http://www.noporkpies.com/blog/social-media/should-i-be-considering-pinterest-in-our-social-media-strategy/
Thanks for a well-written, informative article without all the obscure jargon sometimes people in our industry to use to appear that they are intelligent
I've been eyeing Pinterest with interest (no pun intended) recently, bagged myself an invite and set about creating a test account for a personal project I've been working on. All was going swimmingly (it's deliciously simple to use, and there's some genuinely useful stuff there if you're looking for links to content on a specific topic), but then a couple of days ago I came across this:
So now I'm not so sure that I want to encourage my clients to give it a try. If Pinterest has the right to sell our images, and the right to pass any bad juju onto us if they get sued for selling an image we've pinned that we don't actually own, then I'm going to treat it with extreme caution!
Apparently it's predominant among women in the US (82% of Pinterest users are women) but only 46% of UK Pinterest users are women. "Picture your friends making up lists right now of the best things they want." - I could see an opportunity for retailers if Pinterest was used as a present wish list.
I'll be interested in your take on the copyright issues. The terms and conditions essentially require that:
1. You own the copyright or permissions for anything that you post - so strictly speaking, it's not OK to pin stuff from any website that you like unless the site says it's allowed
2. You give Pinterest the right to use anything posted for their own gain - including financial - in perpetuity!
So far, no one seems to have enforced or challenged any of this - I'll be interested to see how it plays out.
Hi Philippa,
I've already started a pin board (really!) just for tracking Pinterest's trademark lawsuits.
Not to detract from tomorrow's fun, but my favorite part of their terms is the "hold harmless" term that obligates you "the user" to defend Pinterest if they get sued - for using the tool they gave you to do, apparently, exactly what it was designed to do.
I'll be looking forward to your take on this. And if any of it would make you think twice about using it. (I have three boards w/ mostly my own photos of bad airport ads, boston architecture, and those suing Pinterest.) ;>
I've been using Pinterest to look at the lifestyle that surrounds Jestic's products - as a high end distributor of foodservice equipment, this means gourmet food and dishes that our equipment specialises in producing. I've found it to be very useful as a driving force to direct people towards the website, but the cracks do appear to be showing as Pinterest gains more media attention.
Interested in learning more about these copyright issues that Pinterest is dealing with - seems odd when the purpose of the tool is to pin images from all over!
I can't remember ever being so enthusiastic about a social network, it's a refreshing change, but I am a little concerned about what the future holds.
I really hope that marketers don't ruin it. If we're careful and the black sheep don't spoil it for the rest of us by doing the hard sell, it should be ok.
I found this article doing some background research for my blog post on marketing on Pinterest, hope you don't mind me adding the link to it.
A huge pity you only have 20 followers on your Pinterest page. As you say, only a very small minority are deleting their accounts/ boards/ pins, partly because they don't know the risks and partly because they don't care. All quite sad. It is a great device in itself, it just *really* needs to iron out its Terms and Conditions!
The thing that has gone unnoticed in this thread thus far is the massive SEO potential of wielding the Pinterest portion of your social media activity effectively. Keep in mind, what this site provides is free and unlimited access to backlinks from a high authority social network where your pinboards form high density keyword clusters and all the pins link back to clustered content on your media site, blog or (especially) e-commerce site. Take every new pair of shoes in your catalogue and create a pinboard called Hottest Shoes of the Season and follow a bunch of folk/tag your pins properly to attract following, and away you go.
You bring up an interesting point about types of people on Pinterest and G+. Could all social networks be broken down into cliche high school stereotypes? Quite possible!
Small convenience, large liability. Copyright laws need to be relaxed so tech such as this can continue to evolve in a way that benefits the masses. Otherwise, T&C's on apps, plugins and websites are just a trojan horse - encouraging generally harmless copying that leaves individuals liable to lose their homes or lives to the prisons and courts.
Hey Dave,
I've followed the rise of Pinterest very closely and over the past year, we have been working on an idea that is similar to Pinterest regarding how information is shared but very different in its content. While we believe this will be the next "big thing" (as I'm sure many entreprenuers do), we don't know who to take this concept to in order to get it off the ground. Any thoughts? Thanks!
I cannot get a answer to my question from anyone about how you get "Likes" on pinterest. I have sent them e-mails and they say they cannot give me the answer, I don't understand why you cannot get a answer from them on anything you ask. So if anyone on this site understands how that works or how you get likes on a item that you post please let me know and I thank you in advance.
All the best,
This is a very interesting article. I am amazed at how fast Pinterest is growing. Pinterest should be around for the long term as most of the users are female with buying power.

Every day at 4 p.m., my mother drops whatever she's doing, perches on the couch, turns on the TV and calls out to whoever's home, ``Rosie's on.''
Mom loves Rosie O'Donnell, which apparently puts her firmly in the majority. Everyone, it seems, loves Rosie these days. My wife and I usually enjoy her show when we get a chance to see it. All three of our kids think she's great, too _ and they have been know to argue over the color of the sky.
The reason for O'Donnell's appeal is obvious. She's funny, warm and charitable. She seems more like ``real folks'' than a celebrity. She loves chocolate and makes no apology for being pudgy. Her show is entertaining without being exploitative, a la Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey and the rest of that daytime talk show crowd. It is, in other words, one of the few shows that truly qualifies as ``fun for the whole family.''
So it makes me a little uncomfortable to criticize O'Donnell or her show. But I must admit that, after the first 15 or 20 times it happened, I began to cringe at the very mention of the name Barbra Streisand. At first, the fawning over Streisand was cute. Then it got old. Eventually it began to make me nauseated. Once or twice, I even turned the channel. But perhaps that's just a personal problem.
After all, O'Donnell's very public crush on actor Tom Cruise never bothered me. Like her adoration of Streisand, it seemed to make her more like ``one of us.'' After all, millions of people idolize Streisand and millions of women daydream about Cruise.
So I was a little surprised when my daughter became angry one day while O'Donnell carried on about the actor she refers to as ``My Tommy.'' After all, Laura is a fan of both O'Donnell and Cruise. Her ire, it turned out, was not directed at O'Donnell or Cruise but at ``the way things are in America.'' I should have known.

Today's market has a host of different faucet aerators, including low-flow, aerator adaptors for water filtration systems, laminar aerators for healthcare facilities, etc. Ultimately, though, all aerators have the same basic function: mixing air into the water flow. Aerator Function By definition, an aerator adds air. Put one on the end of your faucet and it will add air to your water flow. If you have ever run a faucet without an aerator, you realized the purpose of an aerator. Without one, water sprays out with unpleasant force and causes splashing. Mixing air into the flow of water produces a steadier, more stable stream. An aerator is usually a simple, mesh screen made of metal or plastic that is attached to the end of a faucet with some sort of housing. As water flows through this screen it is divided into many small streams with air in between. This allows for the feeling of high pressure with less actual water consumption. Water Conservation Faucet aerators are actually a great way to cut down on water usage, lower utility bills, and preserve the environment with very little investment. Most faucet aerators are marked with the amount of water they allow to pass through. This is measured in gallons per minute, and there are four general categories. If an aerator says it is "full flow" it doesn't restrict water usage aside from the small amount that is naturally conserved by using an aerator, meaning that whatever the flow rate of your faucet the aerator will be about the same. "Standard" water flow for aerators is 2.2 gpm, while "water saving" flow is considered 1.5 gpm - saving up to 30% more water in comparison to a standard flow. Some aerators are designed for maximum water savings and have a flow of just 1.0 gpm which saves up to 55% more water than a standard flow. The beauty of an aerator is that you probably won't even notice the difference. How To Figure Out Which Aerator You Need The most basic thing you need to know about your faucet in order to replace or add an aerator is the threading - either male or female. If your kitchen faucet has threads on the outside, it is male threaded - which means you need to buy a FEMALE threaded aerator to fit over it. Conversely, if your faucet has threads on the inside, it is female threaded and you'll need a MALE threaded aerator. Once you've determined whether you need a male or female aerator, you'll need to determine the size. Typical regular size for a faucet aerator is 15/16" male threaded or 55/64" female threaded, while junior size is 13/16" male threaded or 3/4" female threaded. But wait! Before you get out your tape measure, there's a very easy way to tell what size replacement aerator you'll need. First, take the existing aerator off your faucet - usually this just unscrews, although you may need a wrench if it's on there tight. Then grab some spare change from the couch or your rainy day jar, specifically a nickel and a dime. Place the coins over the aerator. If your current aerator is about the size of a nickel, you'll need a regular sized replacement. If it's about the size of a dime, you have a junior size aerator. Remember that some faucets are oddly sized and you may need an adapter - either to change the threading of your faucet or to ensure a proper fit. After you've figured out what size aerator you'll need and whether or not you'll need an adapter, it's time to decide what kind you need. Not all aerators produce the same type of stream, and some have special features for a variety of applications. Stationary vs. Swivel - The basic aerator screws onto the end of a faucet and is not intended to move. However, more elaborate aerators are designed in a swivel style and allow the water to be directed in several directions. Sometimes these models have a dual stream function that allows you to change the type of stream by pulling on or retracting the aerator. Diverter-Style - Special aerators are equipped with a small outlet on the side to have a hose attached to them. This allows you to divert water to a water filter without sacrificing the convenience of an aerator. Aerated vs. Spray vs. Laminar - There are three main ways faucet flow devices affect the stream of water coming from the tap. The typical aerator is what's most often used in homes and apartments and the only one that truly mixes air into the water. It produces a larger, whiter aerated stream that is soft to the touch and non-splashing. Spray aerators offer a miniature shower pattern to provide full, non-splashing coverage during hand washing and are typically used in public restrooms. Laminar flow devices give you a crystal clear, non-splashing stream that is most useful for high flow applications or healthcare facilities. Aerated Spray Laminar Aerator Maintenance If the water pressure has decreased in your faucet, the aerator may be the culprit. The tiny mesh of the aerator can get clogged with silt and debris, or with the buildup of minerals from the water. However, this is usually a quick and easy fix. To clean the aerator, simply unscrew and remove the mesh. It may simply need rinsing and scrubbing off with a small brush, like an old toothbrush. Mineral buildup can be removed by soaking the aerator in a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar for several hours, or using a mild descaler, such as Lime-Away. Flush the faucet before replacing the aerator to get rid of any unwanted sediment. If the buildup will not come off, replacing the aerator is an inexpensive and easy solution to getting your water running smoothly again.

In July of 1912 McClure's Magazine reported, "From the Roosevelt standpoint, especially, it was a campaign from the 'grass roots up'. The voter was the thing." A little more than 90 years later, the Internet was the thing and the grassroots voters had gone virtual: "June 23rd is going to be the official launch of Gov. Dean's campaign for President - we want to use this day as a demonstration of the netroots and grassroots across the nation" (The Hotline, June 2003). It was Howard Dean's campaign that tapped into the wellspring of person-to-person electronic communication and brought us "netroots," a word that joins the "net" of "Internet" with the "roots" of "grassroots."

In the days after Sylviane Finck Lozada disappeared in July 2011, detectives seized several items from the Brusly High School teacher's home, including pieces of used duct tape and a sample of "suspected dried blood," according to court filings.
Lozada's whereabouts remain a mystery nearly two years after her family in Belgium lost contact with her. But previously undisclosed search warrant affidavits, filed several weeks after the woman's disappearance, offer new details about the early days of the investigation.
East Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's officials said they still want to talk with Lozada's husband, Oscar A. Lozada, who returned to his native Venezuela with the couple's daughter shortly before Sylviane Lozada was reported missing.
Authorities have said foul play is possible in the case based on evidence found inside the couple's Springlake Drive home in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Oscar Lozada has not been named a suspect in the case, but investigators have questioned his behavior and his purchase of several five-gallon buckets and bags of concrete mix that are also missing. Authorities learned about that purchase — made days before he left the country — after finding a receipt from Lowe's in Oscar Lozada's vehicle, said Casey Rayborn Hicks, a Sheriff's Office spokeswoman.
Oscar Lozada, who was 36 at the time of his wife's disappearance, told detectives he was in Venezuela due to medical reasons, sheriff's officials have said. But he asked a family friend in Prairieville to retrieve his vehicle from the Baton Rouge airport, sell it and send him the proceeds "because he and his daughter did not plan on returning to the United States," according to an affidavit.
Oscar Lozada also told authorities his wife had left him for another man in Columbia, affidavits show. But detectives determined Sylviane Lozada "did not use her passport to leave the country as stated by her husband," the court filings show.
"Personally, I would consider him suspicious under all the circumstances," East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III said of Oscar Lozada. "I'd like to know where he is and what he's doing. But that's just my personal opinion, and it has nothing to do with the case itself."
Sheriff's officials remain reluctant to discuss details of the case. Hicks would not comment on the suspected blood or other items found in the Lozadas' home.
Aside from the duct tape and suspected blood — found on a window pane in the garage — investigators also seized two cardboard cylinders; a pair of pink panties; a used roll of duct tape; four "DNA swabs from the garage floor"; six diving weights; a roll of Kodak film; two Motorola cellphones; a "sink catch pipe and water sample" and hair from the catch pipe, an affidavit says.
Karen Wooley, a colleague and close friend of Sylviane Lozada and the person who reported Lozada's disappearance to authorities, said the diving weights are not a surprising find because Sylviane Lozada and her husband were divers. Wooley, who was among the first people to walk through the Lozadas' home after her friend disappeared, said she did not recall seeing any blood.
Wooley said she has begun to question the pace of the investigation.
"My question all along has been what are they doing?" Wooley said, referring to the authorities. "I think they are waiting for something to happen."
Sheriff's officials would not discuss their efforts to contact Oscar Lozada, saying the release of sensitive information could derail the investigation.
"Detectives would like nothing more than to have all the answers to give to friends, family and the public," Hicks said. "But when working an ongoing investigation like this, investigators have to do what is best for the investigation."
Sylviane Lozada's family members, who live in Belgium, said they still trust sheriff's officials to find the truth. They said they are in regular contact with authorities at the Belgian embassy. They also have been in contact with the Lozadas' 6-year-old daughter, Angelina, whom they said is still with Oscar Lozada and doing fine.
"We are certain that the detectives are still working and doing their best," Sylviane Lozada's sister and brother-in-law, Ghislaine and Patrick Paquet, said through an interpreter.
Oscar Lozada's decision to leave the United States has complicated the investigation, as sheriff's officials say they still want to speak with him. Venezuela's constitution prohibits the extradition of Venezuelan nationals.
George Ciccariello-Maher, an assistant professor of political science at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Penn., said that because Venezuela has unsuccessfully requested extraditions from the United States, "they will be unlikely to go out of their way to help a request from the U.S."
The relationship between Oscar and Sylviane Lozada — who was 51 at the time of her disappearance — had been strained at times, authorities have said. She contacted authorities in December 2010 because Oscar Lozada had been throwing things during an argument and she wanted him to leave, sheriff's officials have said.
Later that month, deputies were called to a local hospital after Sylviane Lozada told medical personnel her husband had pushed her down during an argument.
"He was more emotionally abusive than anything," Wooley said.
Sylviane Lozada, who taught French and Spanish at Brusly, was reported missing July 18, 2011. Her family last contacted her on July 5, authorities said, one day before Oscar Lozada is believed to have purchased the buckets and cement mix.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials confirmed that Oscar Lozada flew to Venezuela with Angelina on July 9, 2011, according to court records. They were scheduled to return July 14 but did not, authorities said.
The same day, an unidentified family friend went to the Baton Rouge airport, picked up Oscar Lozada's 2001 Nissan Xterra and drove it to his Prairieville home, according to an affidavit. The man's wife called detectives after seeing a news account that authorities were searching for the vehicle, the affidavit says.
Linda Hooper-Bui, an associate professor in the Department of Entomology at LSU and a close friend of Sylviane Lozada's, said Oscar Lozada has attempted to contact her twice since he left the country. In one message, Oscar Lozada wrote that "no one is missing" and that Sylviane Lozada "is not the sweet person" everybody thinks she is.
"You do have a very wrong concept about my person and so (do) the rest of the people speculating about this," the message stated.
Hooper-Bui is one of many friends who have been impacted by Sylviane Lozada's disappearance. Last month, about 300 people gathered at an event in Sylviane Lozada's family home in Polleur, Belgium, to release white balloons and keep her memory alive, family members said.
"My head doesn't know what to do with 'missing,'" Hooper-Bui said. "It's really hard to figure out what to do with it because there is no closure."

Though the process varies by state, the process of claiming and titling an abandoned vehicle usually requires cooperation between the DMV and local law enforcement. This is to ensure that the vehicle is genuinely abandoned, rather than lost or stolen.Continue Reading
The first step in claiming an abandoned vehicle is to check with a local law enforcement agency to ensure the vehicle is not stolen. The police are able to search for theft reports using the car's license plate number or vehicle identification number. For a vehicle to be claimed by a third party, it must not have been stolen.
Once theft is ruled out, it is usually necessary to take out an advertisement in a print publication announcing intent to claim the vehicle. This gives the previous owner 30 or 60 days, depending on state laws, to reclaim the vehicle. If nobody claims the vehicle by the end of the waiting period, law enforcement usually issues a notice of abandoned property.
Take the declaration of abandoned property to the DMV and ask for the forms to request a new title. It is usually necessary to pay a filing fee, which varies by state. Once the forms are accepted, the DMV issues a new title.

[Cassetteboy Vs David Attenborough]
[Sir David Frederick Attenborough: May 8, 1926:] Source: LYBIO.net
It's just after midnight in traditional British socializing grounds. A male makes his records on the ones and twos. The odd scratch is irresistible.
The males are starting to compete for the favors of the females. They're here to pull females with huge tits, these are called booby birds.
This small British male listens attentively to the pulsing rhythm. He shakes his body and rubs himself against the female. The female then leaves him.
She is seeking a man with bigger muscles, and the male's sexual organ is no bigger than a grain of salt. But nothing deters the males as they consume several times their weight in Stella until they reach the vegetation that they need if they are to lay the females.
Eventually, they form pairs. As the males grab the females, their testicles flush red, but all too soon the staff force both males and females to leave, getting back to home is a major undertaking.
The males' fight, these females are so full of Stella that they can barely walk. They are desperate for food.

Because climbing is a fight against gravity, your ultimate ability is determined by your power-to-weight ratio. Lean, small-boned riders need proportionally less power to climb well compared to big people. That's why great climbers are nearly always diminutive. The few exceptions, such as Lance Armstrong and Miguel Indurain, generate so much power that their greater size doesn't matter.
Hills For Intervals
Stand or Sit?
If you see more than about 10 seconds improvement in each 2 minutes, you know you're more adapted to that style of climbing. Continue experimenting.

Harvard Sailing Team to Drop Anchor at Alumni Hall
The storm was no match for Harvard Sailing Team, whose show will go on as scheduled at Alumni Hall in the HUB tonight at 10 p.m. The sketch comedy group is not actually from Harvard, nor does it sail, but they have put out some pretty hilarious stuff in the past, and when was the last time you went to a sketch comedy show, anyway?
Harvard Sailing team is probably best known for this video, entitled "Boys Will Be Girls":
No tickets are required for the show; all you need is a valid PSU ID, and you get in for free. And since there's no early football game to get up for in the morning, have at it.

York (Pa.) tops Mary Washington
Spartans earn 14th win, highest total in program history
YORK, Pa. -- No. 11 York (Pa.) advanced to the championship game of the Capital Athletic Conference Tournament after registering a 9-6 victory against No. 12 Mary Washington on Tuesday in the semifinals. The Spartan triumph extended their overall record to 14-3 as their 14th win of the season sets a new program record. The Eagles' loss dropped them to 13-4 on the season.
The Green and White came out of the gates firing as they connected with the back of the net three times in the first seven minutes of the game. Kim Wayson provided two of the three opening scores with Erica Mulford adding the other unassisted goal.
Mary Washington briefly slowed the Spartan attack with a goal at the 22:28 mark of the first half to bring the game to 3-1. Undaunted, York responded in just 30 seconds as Wayson notched her third goal of the game.
Katie Vautier snagged the ensuing draw control, raced toward York's attacking end and found Wayson who knifed in for the tally. Wayson's goal sparked another Spartan run as they scored three more times to extend their lead to 7-1. Kerri Nicolich's two goals during that second run aided the Spartan attack.
York capitalized on seven of their first nine possessions in the first half behind several great individual efforts. Both teams scored a single goal in the last 15 minutes of the first half as York took an 8-2 lead to the break.
The Eagle squad started the second half looking to quickly slice into the Spartan advantage. The guests tallied four consecutive goals during the first 18 minutes of the second half, cutting the Spartan lead to 8-6. Catherine Kennedy, Maggie Nunn, and Jenna Petrucelli led the Eagle surge.
Nicolich was then able to break York's 25-minute scoring drought by connecting with the back of the net. Nicolich's goal came on a free-position shot that extended the Spartans' lead to 9-6 with five minutes remaining.
Leading by three with time ticking down, Spartan goalkeeper Kelsey Evans made two consecutive saves on shots from Kennedy, who has the second-most goals in the CAC. Evans stoned a Kennedy free-position shot with 2:38 left to play before registering a second save just 12 seconds later to keep the game at 9-6 York.
York led the game with 15 groundballs and 10 draw controls while the Eagles posted nine and seven, respectively. Leah Schultz notched a game-high six draw controls for the Green and White. York's 8-2 first half lead was due in large part to the Spartans' effectiveness in winning the draw.
Wayson and Nicolich each posted three goals while Schultz tallied two and Mulford added one. Evans totaled with five saves.
Kennedy and Petrucelli contributed for four of Mary Washington's six goals. Goalkeeper Kathryn Stiltz recorded six saves for the Eagles.

Residents in Dunston, Whittington Moor, St. Helens, Newbold and Brockwell will be seeing a new face on the streets.
Tom Dunn has taken on the role of Police Community Support Officer and began his patrols with the local Safer Neighbourhood policing teams in June.
PCSO Dunn, who is currently being tutored by PCSO Jude Cornwall, will be on patrol throughout the area over the coming months to introduce himself to the local community and find out about any issues affecting residents.
He said: "I've always had an interest in a career in policing, and although it's still early days I've been really enjoying the role.
"So far I've been busy getting to know the local community and have helped my colleagues in some local criminal damage and theft offences. If you do see me out and about please don't hesitate to say hello."
Outside of work, Tom, 25, enjoys sport and going to the gym. He also plays rugby and football, and supports the Sale Sharks rugby union team.
PCSO Dunn joins colleagues Acting Sergeant Heather Saville, PCs Simon Duddles, Mick Hellewell and Mark Lindley, and PCSOs Jude Cornwall and Janis Naylor.

Insulating your home can save you money on your fuel bills and make your home a warmer, more comfortable place to live. It also helps to keep you cooler during the summer and your home will therefore have a better balance all year around.
Around a third of all the heat lost in an un-insulated home is lost through the walls. If your home has cavity walls, insulation is a good way to reduce the amount of energy you need to heat your home and could save you around £110 a year on your fuel bills. Please contact Joanne Walker on 01773 841332 for further information about the various schemes.
Without proper loft insulation a lot of the energy you use to heat your home will be lost through your roof. The recommended depth for loft insulation is 270mm and this could save you around £145 per year on your energy bills if you don't have any insulation at the moment. Please contact Joanne Walker on 01773 841332 for further information about the various schemes
If your home was built before or around 1920, its external walls are likely to be solid rather than 'cavity walls'. If you have solid walls you can either insulate them with external or internal insulation, saving you around £375 a year on your energy bills.
Insulating beneath floorboards will reduce heating bills and improve the comfort of your home. You could save around £50 a year by insulating your floors. Gaps and cracks around floors and skirting boards are easy to fill yourself using a tube of sealant - reducing heating bills by around a further £20 a year.
Using strips and excluders to draught proof around leaky door and window frames can save around £25 a year on heating bills. If everyone in the UK draught proofed around doors and windows, we'd save nearly £200m per year!
Both tank and pipe insulation keep your water hotter for longer by reducing the amount of heat that escapes.
If for some reason you are unable to find the information which you require on our website, you can contact us by the following methods.

Ampacity walks the superconductor line
Groundbreaking system
RWE recently commissioned the world's longest superconductor in Essen (Germany), attended by the Premier of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Lord Mayor of Essen, the CEO of RWE, and the head of Nexans Germany. H-G Bednorz (Nobel Prize for Superconductivity) gave a keynote speech.
Environmental advantages
The system consists of a one-kilometer 10 kV (2300 A) superconducting cable, including a joint and a fault current limiter, cooled by liquid nitrogen. It was designed to replace an HV cable with an MV cable, thus saving space in substations by eliminating the need for transformers and other bulky equipment.
A long step forward
RWE and Nexans have a trusting long-term relationship with regular technical discussions. When our customer detected the need for more power in less space, we were able to demonstrate that this could be achieved through superconductors. To do it, we developed very compact cables and accessories, and customized our fault current limiter (FCL). After extensive testing on a loop in Hanover, the system was built and installed onsite. The system was delivered on time and on budget, and is now fully integrated into RWE's grid.
Supercity infrastructures
Doctor Bednorz expressed his satisfaction for a 30-year-old innovation used in a world-changing application. Yes, superconductors cost more than copper cables. However, the overall picture changes when you take into account saving space, avoiding new civil works, and increasing plant capacity for urban centers in harmony with environmental concerns. With carefully controlled cryogenics, superconducting systems are environmentally-friendly, generating no noise, heat or magnetic field. RWE and Nexans are confident that superconductivity will open up new vistas for tomorrow's dense city infrastructures.
"In the market, all power is vested in the consumers."
