MEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — Democrat Edward Markey, who's served 37 years in the U.S. House, is preparing to make the leap to the Senate after winning Massachusetts' special election to fill the seat left vacant by John Kerry's resignation to become secretary of state.
While Markey is pledging to work to pass major efforts including an assault weapons ban and to spark a green energy revolution and boost job growth in Massachusetts, voters hoping for a political firebrand will likely be disappointed.
Throughout his career in Congress, Markey has taken a methodical, behind-the-scenes approach to lawmaking, typically leaving the limelight to others.
Given the relatively low-key campaign Markey waged during the past five months, there's little indication that he's ready to break out of that mold.
Speaking to reporters before greeting breakfast diners at a restaurant in a Boston suburb Wednesday morning, Markey called his win over Republican newcomer Gabriel Gomez "gratifying." Markey captured 55 percent of the vote compared with 45 for Gomez, a businessman and former Navy SEAL.
Markey credited the success to his positions on issues like gun control and abortion rights, arguing he was more in step with the majority of voters in Massachusetts.
"It was a tremendous victory. I know that it was about the issues. I know that it was about the differences that existed between me and my opponent," Markey said Wednesday.
Markey also benefited from a superior organizing effort in a state where Democrats hold every statewide office and every seat in Congress — and where Republican Scott Brown's surprise special Senate election win in 2010 still stings for Democratic loyalists.
During the campaign, Markey tapped into those worries, saying a win by Gomez would embolden Senate Republicans even as Gomez worked to distance himself from the national party on issues like gay marriage, guns and global warming.
But a more conciliatory Markey said Wednesday that he's ready to reach across the political aisle in the Senate.
"I've passed dozens of bills over the years, each one of them with a Republican," Markey said. "I look forward to working with Republicans in the Senate on issues we can agree on."
"The Senate needs to have people who want it to work," he added.
He also showed flexibility on some of his key issues.
Markey said that while he will continue to push for a federal ban on assault weapons and high capacity ammunition clips, he'd vote for a more modest bipartisan bill to expand required federal background checks to more gun buyers if it resurfaces. That bill was defeated in the Senate this year.
By jumping to the Senate, Markey also goes from minority party status to a member of the majority party, instantly strengthening his political clout. Markey said he's not sure what committees he will be assigned to.
He also goes from being the dean of the state's House delegation as its longest serving member to becoming the state's junior senator, though the state's senior senator, fellow Democrat Elizabeth Warren, has served just six months. Markey said he looks forward to serving alongside Warren.
Markey's victory is also a win for President Barack Obama, who attended a rally for Markey during the campaign and who needs to retain a Democratic majority in the Senate.
In a statement Tuesday night, Obama called Markey a leader on issues like fighting carbon pollution, curbing gun violence and creating middle-class jobs.
He also thanked interim U.S. Sen. William "Mo" Cowan for filling the seat for the past five months and Kerry for his nearly three decades in the Senate.
"I'm confident Ed will help carry on that legacy," Obama said.
The timing of Markey's resignation from his House seat and his swearing-in to the Senate was not immediately clear.
His win has to be certified first, and a spokesman for Massachusetts state Secretary William Galvin said officials must wait 10 days for all overseas ballots, cast by military personnel and other residents living abroad, to be returned. The results of the election would then be certified.
Unofficial results suggest that only about 1.2 million voters cast ballots, marking the lowest voter participation in a U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts in modern times.
Under state law, a special election to fill Markey's House seat will be scheduled for 145-160 days after his resignation from that chamber.
Associated Press writers Steve Peoples and Bob Salsberg in Boston contributed to this report.

TOKYO (AP) — The veteran financial diplomat nominated to become the next governor of Japan's central bank says that achieving the government's 2 percent inflation target as soon as possible would be his top priority.
"We want to achieve the 2 percent target set by the government and Bank of Japan at the earliest possible date," Haruhiko Kuroda, currently president of the Asian Development Bank, told lawmakers Monday. "This will be my most important mission," he said.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's administration has named Kuroda as its choice to replace Masaaki Shirakawa as BOJ governor when he steps down on Mar. 19, viewing Kuroda as a strong supporter of Abe's approach to reviving the stagnant economy through aggressive monetary easing and hefty government spending.
Kuroda has criticized the central bank for failing to break a long spell of deflation, or falling prices that reflect feeble demand and can discourage corporate investment, further undermining economic growth.
A former vice minister of finance, Kuroda has long voiced his support for bolder central bank policies and for a weaker currency to help boost export manufacturers by making their products cheaper in overseas markets. His nomination has further fueled selling of the yen, which had already weakened by about 20 percent against the U.S. dollar since October.
As of midday, the yen was trading at about 93.27 to the U.S. dollar.
Kuroda's appointment must be approved by both houses of the parliament. A vote is expected by mid-month.
The ruling Liberal Democrats have a majority in the lower house, but must win support from the opposition Democratic Party to gain his approval in the upper house. Local media say the Democratic Party has accepted Kuroda as the most qualified candidate for the job.

Another View -- Scott McPherson: Libya lessons go beyond Benghazi
SCOTT McPHERSON
ON MAY 6, the U.S. House of Representatives formed a select committee to investigate the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, which ended in the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The committee will be responsible for investigating "all policies, decisions, and activities" related to the attack.
Democrats are charging Republicans with playing politics, hoping to damage a potential presidential bid by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton is a clear front-runner for the 2016 nomination, and painting her as asleep at the switch on foreign policy will definitely buoy any GOP candidate's bid. It certainly won't hurt them in this year's mid-term elections either.
Democrats and Republicans will trade barbs, but the American people ought to look beyond any partisan bickering and learn Libya's most valuable lesson.
When a U.S.-led NATO mission to aid Libyan rebels toppled Moamar Ghadafi's regime in 2011, Democrats were quick to portray the President as a new kind of interventionist — as if disaster couldn't afflict the varsity squad. Pundits carrying water for the administration did a victory dance; Foreign Affairs called it "The Right Way to Run an Intervention." Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, said the mission was an "enormous success."
Reality has returned a different verdict. Three years later, Libya is a disaster. Americans caught a glimpse of this when Ambassador Stevens and three members of his team were murdered in 2012. Mainstream U.S. news agencies have largely avoided talking about the bigger picture in Libya, but it doesn't look good.
The "constitutional" government in Tripoli is a joke. Meetings of the parliamentary assembly are attacked by gunmen, its members forced to flee into the streets. In March, Prime Minister Ali Zidan fled the country, fearing for his life. His replacement resigned after less than two weeks in office, after his family was threatened.
Bombings, gun battles, kidnappings and political assassinations are a daily event. Battles between rival militias often catch civilians in the crossfire. Sometimes, the militias openly target civilians, killing scores. These numerous militias control huge areas, acting autonomously, shutting oil terminals and roads, openly mocking the Libyan army and deciding who comes into and leaves the country.
European security experts fear the growth of a lawless terrorist state just across the Mediterranean. A new State Department report, "Country Reports on Terrorism 2013," expresses serious concern that weapons shipped to Libyan rebels by western governments, including ours, are now in the hands of terrorist groups "supply(ing) arms throughout the region and to fighters in Syria."
Two weeks ago Ibrahim Ali Abu Bakr Tantoush, an associate of Osama bin Laden, lead his group of Salifist fighters in an attack on a former U.S. special forces compound west of Tripoli. Now, they train there. Counter-terrorism operators in Africa have described Libya as "scumbag Woodstock" — a sort of "jihadist melting-pot" where al Qaeda-like groups can gather to train and plan for attacks "beyond Libya's borders."
Susan Rice was correct; this is what success looks like. For decades, those directing foreign policy have played kingmaker in the Middle East — playing sides off of each other, propping up brutal dictators, overthrowing others, but always violently intervening in their affairs. The outcome is always the same: upheaval for them, and blow-back for us.
The House subcommittee on Benghazi may or may not be a partisan endeavor, but Americans should stay united across party lines in opposing future military operations like the one in Libya. That is the most important lesson we can learn from the deaths of those Americans.
Scott McPherson of Portsmouth is a policy adviser at the Future of Freedom Foundation, a libertarian educational foundation based in Fairfax, Va.

Senate Squabble on Energy Policy Looks Likely to Stop Pipeline Vote
Prospects for Keystone Vote Fade Over Amendments to Energy Bill
WASHINGTON—A tug of war in the Senate over energy policy and procedure looked likely to derail a vote on the Keystone XL pipeline that had been sought by Republicans and some Democrats from energy states.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) had indicated last week that he would bring to the floor a measure approving construction of the controversial pipeline as part of a deal tied to passing a bipartisan energy-efficiency bill. But prospects for a Keystone vote receded Wednesday after Mr. Reid said he wouldn't allow...

Since 2005, Shanghai has hosted the Tennis Masters Cup, the ATP Tour's year-end tournament. It wasn't lost on TSF that the facility, completed in October '05, was erected specifically for this purpose.
Scorelines: Rafa Nadal and David Ferrer have reached the semifinals from the Gold Group. Had Ferrer not routed Richard Gasquet 6-1, 6-1, the Frenchman would be in the semis instead of Rafa. Meanwhile, the Red Group semis are still up in the air, with Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, and Fernando Gonzalez still in contention. Barring injury withdrawals from these three, Nikolay Davydenko is officially out of the tournament.
FYI: The Shanghai Qizhong Forest Sports City Tennis Center is located in the Minhang District, southwest of the city. The environmentally-conscious design was the brainchild of architect Mitsuru Senda and his Environment Design Institute (EDI). "In many cases, sports facilities involve very big spaces," says EDI's design policy, "and it is therefore necessary to consider closely just what influence they will have on the surrounding environment."
From this philosophy came a 15,000-seat arena considered the largest tennis venue in Asia. A bird's-eye view of the arena's roof shows a peony, which is an homage to the country's national (favorite) flower. The roof, capable of withstanding typhoon-strong winds, consists of eight retractable "petals" which take 8 minutes to retract or cover the stadium.

text: Student Profiles Kareem Canada '05 Kareem Canada '05 Hometown: Columbia, South Carolina Major: Music Why did you come to Bowdoin? I was invited up for the Experience Weekend, so that was one of my first looks at Bowdoin. Also, my uncle [Geoffrey Canada '74], who went to Bowdoin, encouraged me to check it out, so that I did during the Experience Weekend, and I enjoyed myself and learned a lot about the campus. Bowdoin ended up being my top choice because of the Chamberlain Scholarship, which they offered me. [Because of] the people that I met and the resources and opportunities that I saw while I was here, and also that I anticipated having after I graduated, I decided to come to Bowdoin. How did you decide on your major? It was a long and twisty road. I started out with Psychology and then Economics and then English, and then finally, right before I did my semester abroad, I decided to major in Music. Music was something that I was really passionate about, and there was a time when I was taking four classes and didn't even like three of them except for my music classes. I could get credit for performing and I could write [music] and I could always do independent studies, so it was the clear and obvious choice after two and a half years of fiddling around! What extracurricular activities do you participate in? For a while I worked for Red Bull North America when their Mobile Energy Team was based out of Brunswick. That was a really great experience because I got to interact with all types of people throughout the day and also got to know about Maine outside of Bowdoin's campus. As far as on campus stuff, I'm one of the captains of the Step Team. This semester, I danced with Vague, the jazz group, and in the past, I've been a tour guide, I've choreographed for Obvious, the hip-hop group, I ran track, I did student government, I was involved in the House System - I've lived in two houses since I've been at Bowdoin. I've done Residential Life, as well. Step is something that I've been wanting to do since I was in middle school but never really had the opportunity to, so an unexpected benefit of coming to Bowdoin, a small college in Maine, [was the] Step Team. That was great because I didn't have to deal with the whole initiation of a fraternity at a southern state school, where they have step teams at the fraternities. Step introduced me to the Dance Department - I've been very involved with the Dance Department at Bowdoin, as well. So performing in the dance shows with the Step Team not only helped me with my stage presence and my ability to choreograph step, but also got me looking at modern dance. I got to choreograph a piece I did myself of gumboot dancing, which is a predecessor to step. So I got to perform that in the dance show, where they have professional lighting and they helped us with the staging of it. That's one of the things that I loved about Bowdoin. It's a small school with small departments, but the people in those departments know what they're doing and they have excellent resources, so you can put together, with their help, a show that's really top-notch, and there aren't a lot of people competing for those resources. What has been your favorite class at Bowdoin? I would have to say, by far, my independent studies, especially the one I did this past semester with [Assistant Professor of Music] Vineet Shende. I had the opportunity to work on my songwriting as well as get more familiar using MIDI and ProTools to basically be a producer, so now I have a very short demo CD [which] I'm hoping I can use that to shop around at some record labels. I love the process of recording and creating and composing my own stuff, so it was really rewarding. One of the things I finally realized is that liberal arts is more about the process than the product, so I focused a lot more on the process and what I learned through doing it, not necessarily getting [a finished product] done. Have you done any other independent studies? I did three other independent studies. One was a core theory class with [Associate Professor of Music] Robbie Greenlee. The other was also with Robbie Greenlee, looking at rhythm. I did a project where I coordinated the Step Team and the World Music Ensemble, which was doing African drumming that semester. So I analyzed the different beats [of each group] and then basically coached everybody. The Step Team performed with the World Music Ensemble at their last concert at the end of the semester. This semester, I also did an advanced independent performance study. I decided I wanted to sing country and blues music, [so] I got to work with a three-piece band, and I got to work with a lot of fun music. So I put together a thirty-minute "Kareem Show," and I had to write [a paper] for it, as well. Did you study abroad? Yes. I went to Sydney, Australia at the University of Sydney. It was definitely a great experience. I've always wanted to live in a city, and so Sydney was a big city, but it was a lot friendlier, just because Australian people are just very friendly and very chatty. So it was great to take a break from Bowdoin for a while and experience a whole other culture. The most important thing that shaped me during my study abroad was interacting with people who weren't in college and who were taking alternative paths or doing their own thing. Interacting with those types of people and taking dance classes and hip-hop dance classes in the city was a really great experience. I got to augment and add to my Bowdoin education in a way that a small college in Maine couldn't do. What is your best Bowdoin memory? I would say, every year when spring comes, just because winter can get a bit intense. It's almost like I psych myself out and I almost believe it's not going to happen, but every time it does, I'm just, "Wow! Spring!" Everybody's mood just gets so much better and people are a lot happier and you see people on the Quad. The coming of spring to Bowdoin just changes things and makes things a lot happier. What are your plans after graduation? Over the summer, I'm teaching at the Exploration Summer Programs. I'm teaching a hip-hop dance class and a performance percussion class, sort of like the show Stomp, where you use all kinds of instruments for performing and creating beats. And I'm going to be doing a step workshop. And then after that's over, I'm planning to move to New York. I'll be working for a company called Total Entertainment, where I'll be creating atmosphere at parties, like sweet sixteens and weddings and bar mitzvahs. I go in with a team of dancers and a microphone and I'll be starting chants and getting people on the dance floor and just making sure everybody has a good time. I feel like it's a really good match for me. What advice would you give to a first year student about the Bowdoin experience? My time at Bowdoin was a bit torn because I've always been good at academics but I've always had this flair for performing, so it really took me a long time to realize that I wanted to pursue performing. So I'd say, for anybody planning to come to Bowdoin, don't limit yourself. Take a variety of different classes and explore different things. Even if you've never tried dance before, take a dance class, because you just discover so much, and there's not another opportunity where you'll be able to dabble in different things. If you don't like it, there's no big penalty. You haven't really lost anything. So I would say take advantage of your limited time to explore and don't set your sights on anything specific in your studies or in anything that you do during this time.

Every now and then I see a flurry of activity around certain individuals, usually on the back of something apparently wrong or outrageous.
Shoemoney, a big fish in a little pond whilst debating with a guy named Randfish, another big fish in a little pond caused Andy Beard, yep, you got it, another big fish in a little pond to react and address the issue as he saw it. I think Andy has been reading a few linkbaiting articles lately as the headline is a classic "Blogging Full Disclosure Debacle – Grow Some Brass Ones" now if someone is talking about you in such a way its very difficult not to react. In fact both did, Rand commented on Andy's Blog and Shoe blogged on it. The other thing too is that it stirred all of these people to chime in and give an opinion or two. David Naylor Twenty Steps Hamlet Batista Search Anyway Online Business Blog BlackBeard SEO CPA Affiliates Frank Watson Dave Taylor Shawn Collins
People say controversial things all of the time for a variety of reasons. Some do it because they just haven't really thought things through, others do it because they are a little bit thick and don't realise what they are really saying and some do it because they know it'll have the desired effect of stirring things up and gaining a little attention.
Doug Heil used to do it all of the time. He'd start threads in his SEO forum that attacked a well known face in the crowd. He'd call them a spammer or a cheater. He'd pour scorn on sites that he considered to be spamming and call them out it. He was a classic example of a controversy marketer in action. Others have used less charitable words, but the point is for a time it worked. For a time it did actually pull people into his site and they reacted to what he said. His telling like he saw it, however controversial got people talking about him.
John Chow and his recent aim at monetising his blog commenters by charging to de-nofollow commenters links, got some a little hot under the collar, various peoplein the blogosphere questioned what he was doing. What he was doing was considered to be very controversial and got people talking about him, in fact according to Y! site explorer its encouraged thus far 108 separate new inwardlinks. Whilst he may have caused some short term consternation with his readers and conversationalists, the reality is that his blog has attracted a little more love in the form of links.
Jason Calacanis is another, he had a platform at a search engine watch conference and said that SEO is Bullsh!t he subsequently blogged on it too and said that 90% of the SEO market is made up of snake oil salesman he stirred lots of discussion as result, with the likes of Danny Sullivan calling him out on it in lengthy terms. A little look again via Y! site explorer shows his post attracted 461 separate links now 462.
We can't all do it of course, some of us just aren't built that way. Most of us tend to operate within the confines of safe social discourse. We don't have the bulls or the energy or the stupidity in some cases to run around alienating groups of people or individuals. Reputations whilst often hard fought, can so easily be undone. Hell, some people trade very nicely on being an ass, but if you are gonna be an arse, then it seems you'd better be a 1st rate one, else you'll be sure to see your metrics plummet as people go off of your boil and see you for the arse that you truly are.
Anyways, the good news from all this stiff is that Ive now got my own disclosure policy too, so besides being the inspiration for this post I guess I should also be thanking Andy, Rand and Shoe for that too. Thanks guys.

NC House defeats 75 mph speed limit study
NC House defeats 75 mph speed limit study
A slowed-down effort to consider raising the maximum speed limit on some North Carolina highways to 75 mph has reached a stop sign at the legislature.
The House voted down a measure Thursday that would have directed the Department of Transportation to study raising the 70 mph speed limit on some interstates and other roads. DOT would then report to a legislative panel and propose a pilot for up to four roads. The full General Assembly would still have had to approve the pilot.
The bill failed 44-64 after several legislators were worried about safety and didn't see a good reason to consider raising the limit.
The House last week derailed an earlier version of the Senate bill to give DOT the power for 75 mph roads without a study.

Publicly trusted certificate authorities (CAs) — third-party organizations that issue certificates that are used to identify their users and digitally sign software — "form the basis for one of the primary mechanisms for providing strong assurance of identity in online transactions," NIST says in its draft Interagency Report 7924, Reference Certificate Policy.
The report provides a standard model for a certificate policy defining the expectations and requirements to ensure trust between certificate authorities and those who rely on certificates to secure online transactions. The model document can be tailored to meet the specific needs of an agency or other organization.
"The widely placed trust in CAs is at the heart of security mechanisms used to protect business and financial transaction online," the policy says. "Notably, protocols such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) rely on CAs to identify servers and clients in Web transactions. Governments around the world rely on CAs to identify parties involved in transactions with them."
Much of the trust structure is automated, with servers and applications such as Web browsers relying on digital certificates without the individual users' direct involvement.
Trust — and security — can be eroded when certificates are misused, which has been happening increasingly often in the past several years. "Analyses have revealed that these security breaches were often the result of insufficient security controls being in place on the computer systems and networks at these CAs, and sometimes exacerbated by weak record keeping," NIST said.
It was discovered in 2010 that Stuxnet used compromised certificates to install itself, as did the related Flame malware, and stolen digital certificates have been used recently to deliver malware from a compromised site providing support for Tibetan refugee children and to steal virtual money in global attacks against online gaming companies. The security company Bit9 announced in February that it too had been a victim.
"Due to an operational oversight within Bit9, we failed to install our own product on a handful of computers within our network," a blog post said. "As a result, a malicious third party was able to illegally gain temporary access to one of our digital code-signing certificates that they then used to illegitimately sign malware."
Industry members recently formed an alliance to combat the problem. Seven of the largest publicly trusted CAs announced the Certificate Authority Security Council in February, to work with standards organizations and provide research, education and advocacy support for best practices for issuance and use of certificates.
Founding members include Comodo, DigiCert, Entrust, GlobalSign, Go Daddy, Symantec and Trend Micro.
NIST's draft policy is based on the Federal Public Key Infrastructure Common Policy and addresses the need to ensure trust in a system for issuing digital certificates initially conceived as an offline process but which has evolved into an automated, online environment.
"This change in architecture, along with the changing threat environment faced by online systems, necessitates additional security mechanisms in place at CAs," the document says.
Comments on the draft policy should be made by June 7 to email@example.com using the comment form available online.

The problem, of course, is that people placed their trust in what turned out to be less than appropriately secure PKIs and then were surprised when bad things happened. Most PKIs - you can't even find the policy they follow - and when you can, it is scary how they are run. All PKIs are NOT created equal - even if they use the same strength of cryptography. How they operate, what processes and security they have for issuing certificates and securing the infrastructure are at least as important as the algorithms and size of the keys. And most users have no idea what CAs they trust and less idea why (because Microsoft or Google, etc. put the roots in the trust store...) - no user involvement in what PKIs they trust - not surprising that things haven't worked out well...

I would like all who read these words to know the following: My name is Ernest C. Wilkins III and I am bad at roller skating.
Well, I was. See, I went and spent some time with the Windy City Rollers, Chicago's premier roller derby team. A cabal of ladies of various shapes and sizes, they're easily the most entertaining team we have in this city, excluding no one.
We proposed an afternoon where they'd teach me the ins and outs of derby, trying some basic moves and seeing how I shaped up. WELP, I showed up and strapped on the gear only to find myself looking like a newborn giraffe. You know, awkward, bowlegged and covered in goo? (I'm a heavy sweater. What of it?)
I fell. A lot. Having not roller skated since Clinton's second term, I made a fool of myself while the Rollers showed me how it's done. They executed spins, sped around that track like demons from hell and stopped on dimes.
I kept falling.
I was like .0009 seconds away from saying eff this and going to grab a beer. My pride was hurt. That kind of feeling can make you go running in the other direction when faced with legitimate adversity, not to mention something trivial like not remembering how to skate.
To their credit, the team couldn't have been nicer and more supportive. Specifically Busty Brabender (you have no idea how happy it makes me to type that name) and Dinah Party.
One led me around the track like we were doing a couples' skate in the '70s while I regained my composure, and the other hit me with the Rollers' advice for up-and-coming skaters:
"Ernest, you didn't fail at anything today. You had some challenges, and if each girl quit after she thought she failed, there would never be anything to shoot for in the sport! We always use the word 'challenge' versus failure because a failure implies an end point whereas a challenge allows you to constantly strive to improve in order to reach a goal."
It's a damn fine quote and mission statement. Go check out the Windy City Rollers as soon as possible, and remember not to let your pride be your downfall. You know, especially if you're on skates.
Ernest Wilkins is Chicago's wingman.
The Women's Flat Track Derby Association has a long list of skills skaters must master before they can compete for a team like the Windy City Rollers. Ernest Wilkins tried these four:
>> Backwards skating. "I couldn't skate."
>> Lap time. "Ditto."
>> Crossovers. "Once I could skate, these were easy."
>> Whips. "Imagine a rubber band that snaps you forward with crazy speed. Now, imagine that rubber band is a person.
What: The Windy City Rollers invite three roller derby teams from across the country to compete in round-robin competition.
When: Competition starts at noon Saturday and Sunday; doors open at 11 a.m. both days.
Where: UIC Pavilion, 525 S. Racine Ave.
Cost: $30-$45; tickets available at ticketmaster.com.

Staff Sick Leave Policy
From time to time employees will miss work due to illness or injury. Saint Louis University provides paid sick leave as part of its total compensation and commitment to its employees.
The eligibility and reporting requirements for sick leave are clearly explained to ensure accurate reporting and administration.
This policy applies to all regular part time and full time staff at Saint Louis University, with the exception of employees in a collective bargaining unit or employees of the Madrid campus.
Not applicable
Paid sick leave is intended to protect regular staff members from loss of income because of the employee's inability to work due to illness or injury.
It is the responsibility of the employee to report the circumstances of the sick leave, recovery progress, and probable duration of the sick leave. The reason for sick leave may be covered under the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act. (See FMLA Policy.)
Individuals wishing to maintain confidentiality regarding the reason for a sick leave request may consult with Human Resources for confidential handling. The individual or supervisor may also contact Human Resources to verify eligibility and amount of accrued sick leave available.
Staff members should make every effort to schedule medical appointments outside normal working hours; however, if it is impossible to do so, sick time may be used for medical appointments if approved in advance by the supervisor.
Upon separation, unused sick leave cannot be used as necessary notice for resignation. Unused sick leave is not paid upon separation but will be reinstated to a staff member's sick leave balance if the individual returns to Saint Louis University within one year of the separation date.
7.1 Eligibility
Full-time regular staff members accrue sick days at the rate of 13 days per year. Part-time regular staff members who work 40 hours per pay period or more or are .5 FTE or higher accrue sick days prorated on the number of hours worked in a pay period. The rate is .05 hours of sick time for each hour worked. Sick days may be carried over from one year to the next to a maximum of 130 days (1,040 hours) to ensure that such days are available in the event of a long-term illness. However, no staff member is paid for accrued unused sick days at the time of termination. Sick pay is paid for scheduled workdays. Sick pay does not cover absences due to weather conditions or personal business.
7.2 Sick Leaves of Less than 3 Consecutive Work Days
7.2.1 Staff members who are unable to report to work due to illness or injury are required to notify their supervisors at the earliest opportunity, in accordance with department policy. An employee who must leave work due to illness or sick leave condition should likewise advise his/her supervisor in accordance with department policy.
7.2.2 Sick leaves of three work days or less normally do not require medical verification; however, verification may be required for any absence due to illness or injury if the University has a reason to question the appropriateness of the absence or its duration, even if one day or less. Failure to produce the verification within 15 calendar days of the absence may result in the absence not being recorded as sick time.\
7.2.3 The staff member may submit a Request for FMLA/Leave of Absence form if the reason for the sick leave is covered under the FMLA Policy or if the duration of the sick leave may extend beyond 3 work days. (See FMLA Policy.)
7.2.4 The department should retain any documents generated for sick leave requests in separate confidential files.
7.3 Sick Leaves Greater than 3 Consecutive Work Days
7.3.1 The employee or employee's representative notifies the supervisor of the need for sick leave of more than 3 consecutive days.
7.3.2 The individual is required to submit a Request for Family and Medical Leave and Certification of Healthcare Provider form 30 calendar days prior to the commencement of the leave if the leave is foreseeable, or as soon as practicable if the leave is not foreseeable or sick leave pay may be canceled. "As soon as practicable" ordinarily would mean at least verbal notification within 1 or 2 work days of when the need for leave becomes known to the employee. (See FMLA Policy and forms.)
7.3.3 As soon as sufficient information is provided by the staff member, he/she will be provided the "Response to Your Request for Leave" form which will indicate whether the reason for the leave meets the requirements for FMLA leave or Leave of Absence. (See FMLA Policy.)
7.3.4 All documents relating to FMLA leaves must be sent to the Human Resources Office. Records and documents relating to medical certification, re-certifications, or medical conditions of employees or family members shall be maintained in separate files/records and treated as confidential, except that supervisors and managers may be informed regarding necessary restrictions on work or duties of the employee and reasonable accommodations; first aid and safety personnel may be informed if the employee's physical or medical condition might require emergency medical treatment; and government officials shall be given relevant information concerning compliance upon receipt of an appropriate request.
7.3.5 An EPAF (Electronic Personnel Action Form) must be submitted by the department if the individual is going to be on unpaid status for greater than 30 calendar days. The Benefits Office will contact the individual on medical leave after 30 calendar days of unpaid leave regarding continuation of employee benefits.
7.3.6 Individuals should contact Human Resources to resolve any disputes regarding an FMLA leave request.
7.4 Caregiver Leave
To respect each staff member's own commitment to family responsibilities, the University will allow staff members to use up to ten (10) days of accrued sick leave per calendar year, for the illness of an immediate family member, (parent, parent-in-law, step-parent, spouse, son, step-son, daughter or step-daughter) when the staff member's presence and assistance is necessary.
Additional time off may be requested, consistent with the Family & Medical Leave Act of 1993 and the University policies on vacation and leaves of absence.
7.5 Medical Certification
The University's policy regarding Medical Certification is stated in the Family and Medical Leave Act Policy. (See FMLA Policy.)
7.6 Long-Term Disability
7.7 Other Leaves of Absence
To continue benefit coverage, employees on unpaid leave must contact the Benefits office in advance. In many cases, employees make additional payments to continue benefits. All University benefits that operate on an accrual basis (vacation, holidays and paid sick days) stop accruing during the leave of absence.
A regular FT & PT employee may request an unpaid except in situations involving request for accommodations under the ADA. An employee requesting leave must discuss the leave with his/her supervisor and put the request in writing at least two weeks prior to the time they wish such leave to commence. If the personal leave is necessitated by an emergency, the employee or a member of his/her immediate family must notify the supervisor as soon as it is practical; this should be followed up with a written explanation of the nature of the leave and the expected length of absence. In such an emergency situation the written explanation must normally be submitted within three days of the beginning of the leave.

Macaca assamensis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Macaca assamensis M'Clelland, 1840
|Infra-specific Taxa Assessed:
Common Name(s):
Macaca coolidgei Osgood, 1932
Macaca macclellandii (Gray, 1846)
Macaca problematicus (Gray, 1870)
Macaca rhesosimilis (Sclater, 1872)
Macaca sikimensis (Hodgson, 1867)
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Two distinct subspecies are recognized apart from the M. assamensis population that is endemic to and found in Nepal, and which is likely in some way distinct (Chalise pers. comm.). The two subspecies, M. a. assamensis and M. a. pelops, respectively occupy adjacent areas to the southeast and east of the range of M. assamensis.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Near Threatened ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Boonratana, R., Chalise, M., Das, J., Htun, S. & Timmins, R.J.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
Listed as Near Threatened as it is experiencing declines due to hunting and habitat degradation and fragmentation. These declines are significant, but probably are not yet enough to qualify for listing Vulnerable (i.e., 30% over three generations). Almost qualifies as threatened under criteria A2cd+3cd+4cd.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|M. assamensis
This taxon occurs in Bangladesh, Bhutan, southwestern China (Guangxi, Guizhou, Tibet and Yunnan), northeastern India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal), Lao PDR, Myanmar, Nepal, northwestern Thailand, and northern Viet Nam. It is found from central Nepal east into northern Myanmar and southeast through southernmost China to the upper Mekong in Tibet, and in the east into southern Guizhou to Hoi Xuan in Viet Nam and Thateng in Lao PDR; the range continues south through the Myanmar/Thailand border ranges as far as Chongkrong, as well as to the Sunderbans in Bangladesh. There is a gap in northeastern India between the two main population pockets, specifically between central Bhutan and the south side of the Brahmaputra; the east bank of its upper course, the Dhibang, marks the division between the two subspecies (Groves 2001).
M. a. assamensis
This taxon occurs in Bhutan, southwestern China (Guangxi, Guizhou, Tibet, and Yunnan), northeastern India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura), northern Lao PDR, Myanmar, northwestern Thailand, and northern Viet Nam. Found north along the Dihang River and its Tibetan tributary the Ngagong (Groves 2001).
M. a. pelops
This taxon occurs in Bangladesh, Bhutan, northern India (Assam, Sikkim, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal) and Nepal. Found from central Nepal through Sikkim and northernmost West Bengal into central Bhutan and the Sunderbans; apparently occurs as well north of the Himalayan crest in the Bhong Valley (Groves 2001).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Bangladesh; Bhutan; China; India; Lao People's Democratic Republic; Myanmar; Nepal; Thailand; Viet Nam

|There is little information available on the global population, but it is thought to be relatively high. There is decline in the wild populations in certain countries, but not throughout the distribution. It is probably the most common macaque species in Lao PDR, where it is widespread through hill and mountain forest ranges, though no population estimate is available (Duckworth et al. 1999; R. Timmins pers. comm.). In Nepal the taxon is also restricted to less than 300 mature individuals, distributed in eight subpopulations, with no subpopulation having more than 50 mature individuals. There is no information on population estimates from Thailand (R. Boonratana pers. comm.). In northern Myanmar it is a very common species, but information from the eastern part of the country is not available (S. Htun pers. comm.). Due to hunting pressure, macaques in Viet Nam are scarce. However, there is no precise information for this species on population and status (R. Timmins pers. comm.).
The subspecies M. a. assamensis is relatively widespread in its extent of occurrence (Molur et al. 2003). In Namdapha National Park, Arunachal Pradesh, India, the population was found to have a group density of 1.11/km2, and an average group size of 13.93 individuals (Chetry et al. 2003). This species is the most abundant monkey in the mountains of Arunachal Pradesh (Choudhury 2001). In China, there are estimated to be over 3,000 individuals (Zhang et al. 2002).
The subspecies M. a. pelops is only found in adjacent populations in India, Bhutan, and adjacent China. There are likely less than 1,000 individuals remaining (Zhang et al. 2002).
A subpopulation of M. assamensis is endemic to Nepal and relegated to a single population there, and is considered as a possible new subspecies (M. Chalise pers. comm.). However, further taxonomic clarification is needed.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species is diurnal and omnivorous, and at times both arboreal and terrestrial. It prefers dense forest (Choudhury 2001), and does not usually occur in secondary forest.
It is found in tropical and subtropical semi-evergreen forests, dry deciduous and montane forest (Srivistava and Mohnot 2001; R. Boonratana pers. comm.). Particular habitats and niches vary some depending on the subspecies. This species is found from the floodplains to the high mountains, up to 2,800 m, and sometimes 3,000 m in the summer (Choudhury 2001), and perhaps up to 4,000 m (Srivastava and Mohnot 2001; Zhang et al. 2002). It is generally an upland species, and usually associated with hill areas above 1,000 m. In the wetter east the species may also frequent areas that do not or only marginally reach 1,000 m and may occur even in the lowlands. In Lao PDR and Viet Nam the species is predominantly associated with high altitudes, usually above 500 m. In forests on limestone karst the species occurs in much lower elevations (R. Timmins pers. comm.). The generation of this species is 10-12 years (Molur et al. 2003)
|Major Threat(s):
The threats to this species' habitat include selective logging and various forms of anthropogenic development and activities, alien invasives, and hunting and trapping for sport, "medicine," food, and the pet trade. Additionally, hybridization with adjacent species poses a threat to some populations (Molur et al. 2003). Although it has a wide distribution, the species is considered to be threatened in most parts of its range. Habitat destruction is the primary cause of the decline.
Habitat destruction poses the greatest risk to this species in northeastern India (Srivistava and Mohnot 2001). However, it has been hunted in the Himalayan regions of North Bengal, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh, where it frequently invades crops (Srivistava and Mohnot 2001). Locals use skulls as an "evil eye" in front of houses in northeastern India (Das pers. comm.). There has been extensive habitat loss over the last 15 years in several states of northeastern India (from 30-60%), with major impacts on M. a. assamensis.
The Nepal population of Macaca assamensis is threatened due to its restricted distribution of less than 2,200 km2 extent of occurrence and 914 km2 area of occupancy and continuing decline in area, extent and quality of habitat, the number of locations and in the number of mature individuals—the latter two conditions being inferred from threats to habitat and population from degradation and hunting, respectively. Given its restricted extent of occurrence, threats on its population and habitat, and small numbers in fragmented patches, the Nepal population of this macaque is categorized as Endangered.
In Thailand habitat loss is the primary threat, hunting for food less so (R. Boonratana pers. comm.). It is protected only in temples.
In eastern Myanmar habitat loss is the primary threat, but hunting is presumed to occur. They are hunted to make footwear, and the skins are taken to Tibet as it is more profitable than taking it to Yunnan province of China. In northern Myanmar, hunting and habitat loss due to conversion are the major threats. There is more than 30% decline in forest cover over the last 30-35 years. The combination of habitat loss and hunting heavily impacts the subpopulations, and the threats are likely to continue in the next three decades if the demand for this continues in Tibet (S. Htun pers. comm.).
In Lao PDR and Viet Nam the primary threat is hunting for food and for bones to make balm and/or glue. The bones are not used within Lao PDR, but sold to Viet Namese and traders within Lao PDR. The balm is used for pain relief and other speculative "medicinal" purposes. The trade also goes into China (R. Boonratana pers. comm.). This species has declined in Viet Nam and Lao PDR in the last 30-35 years by more than 30%, and is expected to continue to decline in the future.
In Tibet the habitat is good, but there is some hunting, and no detailed data exists for M. a. pelops from that region of China (Z. Zhou et al. pers. comm.). For M. a. assamensis, hunting is a major threat. Logging has ceased, but was a major threat for the last 30 years. Conversion to pastures is still ongoing, but not a significant threat. There are extensive habitats still left for this subspecies and the taxon is relatively safe.
|Conservation Actions:
This species is listed in Appendix II of CITES (Chetry et al. 2003). It is legally protected in all countries of occurrence. For the populations that reside in India, the species is listed under Schedule II, part I of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act (amended up to 2002) (Chetry et al. 2003). In Bangladesh it is listed as Schedule III in the Bangladesh Wildlife (Preservation) (Amendment) Act, 1974. In Myanmar it is legally protected according to the 1994 Wildlife Protection Law. In Thailand the species is protected by the Wildlife Protection Act, 1960.
The species has been recorded from at least 41 protected areas in northeastern India, and maybe four others (Choudhury 2001), and may also be found in the following protected areas: Nam Ha National Biodiversity Conservation Area (Lao PDR); Langtang National Park, Makalu Barun National Park (Nepal); Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, Huay Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, Phu Khieo Widlife Sanctuary (Thailand); Pu Mat National Park (Viet Nam).

They grow up fast. Just look at Tiffani Thiessen's daughter Harper Renn — only 15 months old but already getting set to take on the world.
"She's talking up a storm," her proud mom told PEOPLE Sunday at the Nautica Malibu Triathlon. "Not walking anymore, now running. She loves swimming now. That's her big thing. She loves to get in the pool with us."
The White Collar actress, 37, says the changes have been fast and furious lately.
"From the 12-month to the 15-month mark has probably been her biggest stretch of [milestones]," she says. "She's not a baby anymore. It's funny."
If Harper changed Thiessen's life, giving birth to her also changed her body.
"It's a new kind of body," the actress says. "I don't think after having a baby you go back to exactly what your body was before. And I'm totally okay with that. I'm kind of loving the more voluptuous look that I've got these days."
Thiessen ran a leg of Sunday triathlon, but her exercise regimen is quite varied.
"I weight train. I run," she says. "And I'm getting back into yoga again, which I did a lot when I was pregnant. I like to change it up. My whole thing is doing something different all the time."

Rebuilding Playboy: Less Smut, More Money
Publishing Is Now a Sideline for Hefner's Brainchild; A New CEO Takes a Thriftier Approach—Building a 'Lifestyle' Around a Logo
At one of Playboy's first big bashes after going private in 2011, much seemed as usual for a brand that has embodied American hedonism for nearly 60 years. Bunnies and Playmates sashayed beneath black crystal chandeliers in The Palms Casino's Playboy Club in Las Vegas, while men in suits hit the dance floor.
One of them was Scott Flanders, 55 years old, Playboy Enterprises Inc.'s first CEO outside the family of founder Hugh Hefner. But the appearance of the uninterrupted good life was largely an illusion. Mr. Flanders was...

Yet one more Housewives' bankruptcy story to report.
The latest star to join the exclusive Bravo club is none other than Jim Bellino of the Real Housewives of Orange County.
The OC Register is reporting that just 2 days before his home with wife Alexis Bellino, 32, was scheduled to go on the auction block due to foreclosure, Jim filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for his company.
Jim is reportedly the president of Global Marine, Inc. — a single-asset real estate corporation. The 7-page document filed Wednesday at U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California states that "after any exempt property is excluded and administrative expenses paid, there will be no funds available to unsecured creditors."
So how much exactly does Jim's company owe? Well that is not yet clear as the bankruptcy filing simply states the estimated number of creditors is between 1 and 49, and the estimated assets of Global Marine, Inc. are between $1,000,001 and $10 million.
The OC Register is also reporting the Bellinos' auction date on their soon to be foreclosed Newport Beach home has been postponed to Jan. 10. The reason being due to Jim's bankruptcy filing. You can see photos of that home here.
When contacted by the Register on Friday for a comment, Jim said "No comment" and hung up the phone.

Adam Lambert Performs at MLB Fan Cave
Major League Baseball may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Adam Lambert, but the singer stopped by the MLB Fan Cave in New York one night before the release of his new album 'Trespassing' to perform nearly half the record.
Lambert's mini-concert emphasized the up-tempo songs from the album, with performances of the title track, 'Cuckoo,' 'Kickin' In,' 'Broken English,' 'Shady' and 'Never Close Our Eyes.' He also sang the biggest hit from his debut, 'Whataya Want From Me.'
Lambert told MLB.com about what inspired his songwriting process on 'Trespassing': "I wrote about things I know, things that are real to me and my life. I wanted to give fans a little more insight into who I was as a real person. At times in the writing process, I kind of challenged myself to go back to a time before 'American Idol' and imagine, 'OK, where was I before all this craziness? Where was I? What made me want to become a singer? What makes me, as a listener, go, 'That's a good song.' I noticed that was the stuff that kept pulling me into songs, that kind of funky swagger."
Check out some fan-shot videos from the event of Lambert performing some of the new songs live for the first time.

Suzanne sheds the kilos
AFTER seeing a photo of herself and realising the once athletic and disciplined person had spiralled out of control, Suzanne Brumby decided she needed to do something about.
Now more than 45 kilos lighter, Ms Brumby is the image of health after joining Weight Watchers early last year.
The 37-year-old has undergone a complete lifestyle transformation, shedding 37.2 per cent of her body weight.
She now competes in charity runs and half-marathons.
"I was just sick of feeling unhealthy and out of breath all the time," she said.
"I wanted to lose weight but I'm really against fad diets or anything that cuts out a food group."
It took her roughly 15 months to get to below her goal weight of 81 kilos.
"The only way to feel slim and healthy is to be slim and healthy," Ms Brumby said.
"I exercise diligently and incorporate it into my daily life so it's not a chore, like riding my bike to uni."
Her amazing success story was noticed by Weight Watchers who selected her as one of five state semi-finalists for the 2012 Weight Watchers Healthy Life Awards.
Ms Brumby and all short-listed entries to the awards will soon take part in interviews before a finalist for each state is selected.

UK podcasters push for better licensing
Music Alliance urged to tweak rule book
Podcasters have met the Music Alliance in an attempt to get performance fee collectors to reconsider their rules on using licensed music in downloadable audio.
The UK Podcasters Association (UKPA) was set up to counter a Music Alliance scheme it describes as "unworkable". Its membership is drawn from the several hundred small media and homebrew podcasters in the UK.
UKPA chairman Dean Whitbread said: "We would like to be able to pay a reasonable fee, without worrying about restrictive "rules" whilst we pioneer, develop and exploit new commercial formats.
"If they let us do that, ultimately they'll make a lot more money out of us."
The UKPA says the Music Alliance's podcast licence is too vague and impinges on speech-only podcasts and on those using so-called "podsafe" music, which is licensed under alternative arrangements such as Creative Commons.
The Music Alliance, a federation of the Performing Right Society (PRS) and the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society (MCPS), launched its podcast music licensing scheme in March.
MD Steve Potter said at the time: "Podcasting has really exploded into life over the past six months. It has quickly moved from the efforts of a few hobbyists into an accepted method of distributing content. We are introducing this licence as quickly as possible to enable music podcasters to trade legitimately."
The Music Alliance says the licence is a trial in its current form, set to run until the end of the year. It is meeting with interested parties and big providers to figure out how best to collect subs from podcasters. Opponents of the current licence say it costs too much for hobbyist podcasters to comply.
MCPS and PRS are currently in dispute with the record industry over how much artists should be paid from online distribution of their work. ®

Important: the location from which the payment comes (Credit Card nationality, issuing bank nationality, Post Office, etc.) is taken as evidence. Sorry, no exceptions. Note that this system is not perfect because it has to draw a line among countries; and it only relies on the origin of payment as the only "hard" evidence. But we would rather use that generally acceptable method rather than impose the same pricing to all.

May 10, 16:00 at PostFinance Arena, Berne
Last MedalAt the 2006 World Championships, Sweden used a balanced offense and superb goaltending to defeat the Czech Republic 4-0 and win gold. Jesper Mattsson's first-period goal was all that Sweden would need. Johan Holmqvist turned aside 15 shots for the shutout.
Who to WatchMagnus Johansson has three goals and eight points. His 27 shots on goal are second on the team. Johansson has taken part in six World Championships, but this is by far the most productive he's been. Johansson spent the 2008-09 season playing in the Kontinental Hockey League with Atlant Mytischy.
Keys to BronzeGoaltending must be strong. Jonas Gustavsson played well despite losing to Canada 3-1. With a 2.83 goals against average and three wins, Gustavsson is making a case for future World Championship inclusion. However, since he's left the tournament to be with his ailing mother, Stefan Liv will need to make a fine showing between the pipes.
Score first. Sweden can score goals. They are third in goals in the tournament. Getting off to an early lead--especially in the bronze medal game--is essential. The last six bronze-medal winners have scored the first goal of the game, and in some cases that would be all they needed.
Create space for the best players on the ice. For Mattias Weinhandl, Kristian Huselius, or Magnus Johansson to be successful, they need to have the room to work their magic. This will be a close-checking affair by the Americans, but in order to get their powerful offense going, Sweden will have to work for their opportunities.
Win it in regulation time. Despite their difficulties, Sweden has played well in regulation. In fact the loss to Canada was their first regulation defeat in the tournament. Overtime and/or shootout losses to Latvia, USA, and Russia were tough.
Last medalTeam USA won bronze at the 2004 World Championships in the Czech Republic. Andy Roach's heroics in a shootout earned Team USA a 1-0 win over Slovakia. An upstart American side earned the right to play for a medal after defeating the heavily favored Czech Republic on home ice in the quarterfinals.
Who to WatchDustin Brown wears the C on his jersey and has earned it. Brown is coming into his own as a player and leader. Brown is not afraid to bang bodies when he has to. He is tied for the team lead in scoring with three goals and eight points. Brown has kicked his game up a notch at the World Championships and that will only benefit his chances of being strongly considered for the 2010 Olympics.
Keys to BronzeSet the tone for the game. The USA must come out and control the game. They must finish checks and apply pressure in the Swedish end of the ice. The Americans are at their best when they have the opposition reacting to what they do.
Consistency is key. When these teams last met, the USA took a 5-2 lead on Sweden, only to see them come back with four unanswered goals to win 6-5. The USA must not let up at any point in the game. No lead is ever safe and this game will be closely contested.
Steady goaltending. Robert Esche performed valiantly in net against Russia. Save for some redirections, it could have been a different game. Esche must now close the tournament out with a strong showing against Sweden. Esche must erase memories of Sweden's comeback win earlier in the tournament.

Well Heatley and Spezza got to a Cup Final.. Nash and Gaborik, sweet fuck all obviously. But a good first liner doesn't put the team on his back and carry them to success on his own in this league, that's not even the pay grade we're talking about here.Island Nucklehead wrote:What have these guys accomplished (for their teams) with their big salaries?dbr wrote: Well, my point is that the $8m dollar figure isn't the end of the world. Almost all of those $7m+ guys remained desirable players - especially the ones that signed relatively young like Kessel will.. Nash, Gaborik, Heatley, Spezza, all guys who remained highly desirable assets (with completely acceptable contracts)..... as long as they played at close to the level they had when they signed, Dany Heatley I am looking in your direction...
These guys aren't Crosby or Malkin, they are the next tier down and even they are all going to be in the $8m's (give or take a few guys who give discounts) when they've all expired and re-signed under this CBA.
Like I said, I'd rather not be in the position of having to pay my top forward(s) in that range than be doing it, but I'd also rather be paying my top forward(s) in that range rather than stuck with a team with zero players of that calibre.
The Canucks have been extremely fortunate to have their first line built around two guys who are not particularly greedy, we could easily be looking at two players of a similar calibre making $7m each and looking for raises into that territory next year.

Premature Infant: Signs of OverstimulationSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Premature infants are born before the nervous system is mature enough to handle outside stimuli without becoming overstimulated. Your baby will need to sleep most of the time and will not interact a lot with you at first. But your presence is important to your baby. When you are with your baby, keep your voice low and keep outside noise and light to a minimum.
If your premature infant is overstimulated, you may notice physical reactions in the presence of too much sound, touch, movement, or light, including:
- A drop in blood oxygen levels (oxygen desaturation).
- A drop in heart rate (bradycardia).
- A rapid heart rate (tachycardia).
- Looking away from you when you speak or make eye contact, a more subtle sign of overstimulation.
- Twisting, arching, or scowling.
If you see such signs, give your infant some peace and quiet. The next time you're together, try only one stimulus at a time (such as touch or voice, but not both).
Look for signs that your baby is relaxed and ready to interact with you, such as:
- Eyes open and engaged.
- Relaxed face, mouth, fingers, and toes.
- Normal color.
- Regular breathing.

The non-OLED EVF looks a bit goofy with it's mirror (wonder who designed that) & does extend too far back. Seems the OLED will be better, but may still need a 3rd party mount.While Raw is always intriguing, many high-end productions will still rely on other options, & the F55 needs to compete with Alexa. This is where a flavor of ProRes would have been welcome. Nobody is clamoring for another codec to transcode, & who knows how long 3rd party software development will take.
That's exactly the problem. DPs often are not even invited to grading secessions anymore.And Producers readily hire DITs, who all seem to bring RedRockets, but won't pay them to process out Raw overnight.Factor in young editors equipped with MacMinis, & non-color managed monitors, who also double as colorists, & suddenly burning in the look becomes quite tempting.
other clients (now most of our clients), we need to get as close to possible on virtually all of the footage.Regardless in my use, I've found the Raw file is 1/2 the effort of a baked in file, from any camera we've used.
