I hear and I forget
I listen and I understand
I do and I remember
Chinese proverb
This weekend I attended an 8 hour training in the phonemic awareness program, Sounds In Motion. I am so excited to collaborate with our Kindergarten and 1st Grade teachers in bringing this amazing, kinesthetic program to the classrooms.
How does Sounds in Motion work? The program is completed in 12 to 15 weekly sessions lasting 30 to 45 minutes. The idea is that body movements help students to remember how to produce each sound, and what sound a letter makes. The program combines speech sounds with kinesthetic, gross-motor movements that correspond to the tension, duration, pitch and directionality of the articulators (lips, tongue, teeth, soft palate, cheeks) used to produce each sound. In other words, the body movement associated with each sound mirrors what we do with our mouths as we make the sound. For example, a sound like /k/ is produced in the back of your mouth, and the corresponding body movement is a backward pulling movement.
The program begins by addressing auditory skills necessary for recognition and production of these sounds. The concept of whole body listening will be introduced first, and will be a big focus in Speech Therapy this year. It is also a big part of the Sounds in Motion program. Whole body listening is the phrase I will use to teach kids to "tune in" so that work can begin on auditory perception and discrimination of consonants and vowel sounds that often are misarticulated.
I will introduce 2 speech sounds and corresponding movements in each session. The body movements associated with each speech sound are introduced to help the children experience correct placement and production for specific consonants. Associating a movement with each speech sound also helps students to remember the sound.
Students practice letter to sound correspondence, sound blending, and syllable/word decoding in each session through interactive rhymes and stories. The program also includes a pre- and post-test to show individual student progress.
Sounds in Motion will provide me with the opportunity to work on articulation stimulation, auditory perception, phonemic awareness and vocabulary development simultaneously with an entire class. This is a collaborative program between the speech-language pathologist and classroom teachers. It is not only unique and fun for the children but allows the therapist and classroom teacher to collaborate in working on common goals.
It is so important that we are not only thinking about phonics in our classrooms, but about phonemic awareness. Sounds in Motion will help students think about phonemes to sound out and write words. We need to be teaching our students to hear the sounds in the words first, to discriminate between sounds, so they can then make the written association with letters.
I have already spoken with a couple of teachers about getting started with this program, but please come and see me, email me or leave a comment on the blog if you would like me to work with your class.

Longford 1-12 Dublin 0-09
Hosts Longford finished with a flourish to seal a surprise Bord na Mona O'Byrne Cup final place at holders and All-Ireland champions Dublin's expense.
The massive underdogs never trailed at Pearse Park and outscored Dublin by 1-03 to 0-01 in the decisive closing 10 minutes to seal a final clash with Meath next weekend.
Jim Gavin's Dubs had fought back from a three-point half-time deficit to trail by just one with 20 minutes to go and that margin remained after an hour.
But, instead of closing out the game as anticipated, the Dubs wilted as Longford finished with real gusto and, crucially, found the net through Liam Connerton six minutes from time.
Robbie Smyth and Francis McGee also weighed in with three points apiece on a memorable day for the midlanders.
Dublin, who began last year's all conquering season with a first O'Byrne Cup success since 2008, were installed on low odds to return to the final.
But from the opening minutes it was clear that Longford meant business as they attacked with purpose and power, taking an early two-point advantage.
Dublin did get back to level terms at 0-02 apiece after 11 minutes following points from Darren Daly and Paddy Andrews but the respite was brief.
McGee kicked his second of the afternoon before a Brian Farrell score sent Longford two clear again.
The margin was out to three points after 23 minutes following Longford points from James McGivney and Smyth, 0-06 to 0-03.
New manager Denis Connerton, in his second spell as manager, was without Dublin-based attacker Brian Kavanagh but Longford's forward unit still looked sharp and all three members of the full-forward line made the score sheet by half-time when they led 0-07 to 0-04.
Smyth closed the scoring for the half with a thunderous free from 55 metres out, leaving the large Dublin support in the 2,000 strong crowd silent.
Goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton made his first appearance of the season for Dublin while All-Ireland finalists Jonny Cooper, Philly McMahon, James McCarthy, Denis Bastick, Dean Rock and Paddy Andrews also started.
It was Dublin's strongest team of the season so far having drawn with Wexford in Group A before overcoming IT Carlow and DCU.
Among the fringe talent attempting to impress ahead of the Allianz league which begins on Saturday week, at home to Kerry, were full-back Jarlath Curley, Ciaran Reddin, Shane Carthy (St Vincent's) and Con O'Callaghan.
Both sides continued to battle courageously in heavy conditions with rain falling throughout. Philly Ryan became the 31st Dublin player to feature in their four-game campaign when he was introduced with 20 minutes remaining.
The visitors reduced the margin to a single point at that stage, thanks in part to three points from Rock, two from frees, which made it 0-09 to 0-08.
That was as good as it got for Dublin though as Longford finished impressively, holding the Leinster champions to just one more point for the remainder of the contest, from Reddin.
Longford led by three when Connerton essentially sealed victory, doubling their advantage with his 64th-minute goal.
McGee's ball in from the right wing was well held and then laid off by Michael Brady for Connerton to poke in from close range with a soccer-style finish.
Longford: P Collum; F Battrim, B Gilleran, CP Smyth; A Dalton, D Brady, D Masterson; M Brady, B Farrell (0-01); B McKeon (0-01f), J McGivney (0-01), D Gallagher (0-01); R Smyth (0-03f), F McGee (0-03, 1f), M Hughes (0-01).
Subs: P McKeon (0-01) for Hughes, D McElligot for Farrell, L Connerton (1-00) for Smyth, C Shields for P McKeon (BC), P McGee for F McGee.
Dublin: S Cluxton; J Cooper, J Curley, P McMahon; J McCarthy, J Small, D Daly (0-01); C Reddin (0-02), D Bastick; T Brady (0-01), D Rock (0-03, 0-02f), S Carthy; C Costello (0-01), P Andrews (0-01), C O'Callaghan.
Subs: N Scully for Bastick, P Ryan for O'Callaghan, C Mullally for Carthy, M Deegan for Andrews.
Referee: J Hickey (Carlow).

Xbox One "Immersive Gaming" Video Ad May Be a Bit Disturbing
Pages PREV 1 2
Breaking News!!!
Our game console has realistic graphics!!!
This ad campaign is 100% new and fresh and has never been done before!!!!
oh wait...
Realistic in 3rd person at 30fps with a controller and quick-time events.
That olympic game with the pad you lay on the floor for the NES was more realistic, and way more fun. You actually got tired from doing the actions on screen, that says a lot for a game in the 80s.
Is this what advertisements for games are going to be? Not the game's fun and worthy of enjoyment. It looks so nice, it'll make you bleed. Fuck you.
He's doing it to justify the extra $100 he spent getting an Xbone over a PS4.
Seriously though, that advert was bad, and where the hack are they even going to show it? Here in the UK they won't show an advert featuring injuries before 9pm anyway, and most would pull this as soon as the first complaint came in. No parent is going to buy an xbox for their kid after that, and I can't see any gamer being pulled in by it either, just who is their target demographic here?
Neither, really. It just seems really, really silly to me. To whom, exactly, is the ad supposed to appeal? I can't imagine anyone watching it and thinking to themselves, "I was on the fence about whether to get an Xbox One, but - man - I gotta get me some of this"!
yea, out of all the games on the Xbone, Ryse is not a good one.
Whoever says it is should report to room 121 and have a hole drilled into their head to see if they actually have a brain.
But hey, at least it isn't as shitty as Fighter Within. too bad that's like saying "hey, at least that rock I threw at you wasn't a glass bottle!"
It's not so much as disturbing as it is stupid and a little too self-indulgent. Say what you will about the Kevin something ads for the PS3, not once did I get the feeling they were taking themselves seriously. Remember the one about the girlfriend that thinks Uncharted's a movie? And they were funny.
So the Xbox One induces PTSD?
I don't think this is what you should have aimed for, guys.
Yeah. It doesn't sound very healthy. And the guy went back to playing it. I think he has problems, lol. If I played a game and started having mental episodes where I'd see battle damage randomly appear and disappear off of me, then I'd have to stop playing for my own mental health XD. Curious, though. Video games can have some gruesome death scenes as well. Does he have visions of those, too?
It's as if they took the old cheesy Sega Genesis commercials, took out all the fun and color, but ramped the cheesiness to a million to the point where they're not even fun to watch anymore.
"Video games fun?! NO. REALISM, PAIN, EMOTION, XBOX, BUY OUR WORKS OF ART, YOU DRONES."
Because this is making gamers look good.
Meh, I don't see a problem with this.
I'm just getting to old for this shit.
That and the game is terrible, or so I've heard.
If they did THIS kind of game I'd jump on board the "let's get off the couch and be active!" bandwagon. Until then, I shall sit here eating my potato chips XD
Well, it's certainly self-punishment.
I don't know, this ad just doesn't creep me. It seems stupid, but not offensive or shocking or anything like the article might say.

It was around this point that Nick noted the proliferation of stands dispensing aperitifs. We concluded that the reason behind it was to keep everyone in a constant state of hunger. And on that note, we went to taste some Armagnac. Before we were given a sip, we got a full-on Armagnac-tasting lesson. The (very) Frenchman doling it out told us that you must warm it in your hands and take deep smells of it – like a woman. We got to taste the 1979 and the 1967. The '67 was pretty remarkable, I thought, although never having tried Armagnac before, I don't have much of a frame of reference. When the vendor found out this fact, he said this was the third time in one day that he had initiated someone into the world of Armagnac. The first was a Swiss man, and the second was a Japanese couple. We were holding out to try the 1944, but it didn't seem to be in the cards. He tried to put the hard sell on us, and we walked away empty handed.
Over to another foie gras booth, where we got samples of foie gras mi-cuit and foie gras au sel from Alban Laban. Both were unctuously delicious, but the foie gras au selwas the real standout. Uncooked, simply cured in salt, it was perfectly seasoned with an incredibly smooth mouthfeel. I could have eaten tubs of the stuff and they would have had to roll me home. So I guess it's a good thing that they weren't giving out free tubs of foie gras au sel.
Instead, we wandered over to the G. Prieur Grands Vins de Bourgogne stand. I came for the Vosne-Romanée, and I stayed for the nice large Burgundy glasses (as opposed to the cheap tasting glasses most of the other stands were using) and the amiable proprietors. At first we were proposed a flight of 3 wines, starting with my requested 2005 Vosne-Romanée, which had a deep rose color, almost floral aroma, and juicy flavor. Next came the 2003 Nuits-St.-Georges, darker and more complex, followed by the 2003 Morey-Saint-Denis, ruby-colored with a slight oakiness. As we chatted with the proprietors, (my French is getting better by the glass!) I mentioned that our 2nd wedding anniversary was in a few days, and they insisted we try a few more wines. Out came the 2005 Beaune 1er cru Clos du Roy. It was absolutely amazing. We asked if 2005 was a better year than 2003, and they told us that 2005 was one for the ages. Then they gave us a taste of the 2005 Volnay, which was lighter and sweeter, and described as "très feminin, très fin." Perhaps it was a little too subtle for my palate – it was nice, but nothing particularly noteworthy, especially after the Vosne-Romanée and the Beaune 1er cru. To top it off, we were given one more sample: the 2003 Aloxe-Corton. It was rond. We began to notice a few fellow salon-goers with hand-trucks for carrying their purchases and wished we had planned as well. Luckily, G. Prieur was selling cases of 6 bottles for home delivery. We couldn't pass up that Clos du Roy, especially if we didn't even have to carry it!
Our next stop showed that even France is not immune to inane food fads.
Yes, that's a chocolate fountain. Which is too bad, because they had some very good chocolates, once you got past the stupid gimmick. Our favorite was the dark chocolate with cacao nibs. We wanted to buy a bag of just those, but all they were selling were mixed-bag gift baskets – again with the stupid gimmicks!
Speaking of gimmicks, the next thing we tried was a fresh cheese mixed with red pepper and shallot, rolled in neat little hors d'oeuvre-sized balls. They were quite tasty despite their cutesy look, and made with lait cru, to boot. Then we stopped by a caviar booth and, inexplicably, were given candied hazelnuts. They were actually quite good, with a nice, dark caramel crunch to them. But that's not why I'm at the caviar booth, now is it?
Moving on, we were flagged down by a man peddling calvados and a lighter, sweeter liqueur made from apple cider. This is not the sort of thing we would normally try, but it turned out to be enjoyable, especially the liqueur, marketed as either an apéritif or a digestif. It had distinct apple flavor, but with earthy undertones that balanced out the sweetness.
Of course, no French food fair would be complete without an array of fancy sea salts.
This particular booth was handing out salted butter caramels. The caramel could have been cooked a little darker, in my opinion, but I am a sucker for a salty caramel. To the right of the salt was the Camille de Lys mushroom stand. Obviously, we had to try it. We got three different marinated mushrooms: Champignons Bruns, in an acidic, appetite-stimulating marinade; Pleurote Gris, meaty and rich; and Lentins du Chêne, with a subtle curry flavor.
With our palates fully blasted, we, predictably, went straight to…
Domaine du Grison's white Burgundies! First we tried the Crémant de Bourgogne – almost spring-green in color with a pleasant herbal aroma and nearly savory flavor. Next came the 2007 Mâcon-Villages, which Nick dubbed a "utility wine," suggesting that it may pair nicely with asparagus. Which prompted the woman tasting wines with us to ask how we cook asparagus. I told her I would put it in a very hot pan with some olive oil, let it brown a bit, put a cover on for a few minutes to cook it through, season with salt and pepper and dress it with orange juice, sherry vinegar, and toasted almonds. Her jaw dropped, along with that of the winemaker, and she invited me to come cook at her house anytime. (I should note that over the course of the day, many people, including this woman, approached me asking what I was writing in my little notebook, which turned out to be a great icebreaker.) After that, we tried one more wine, a 2007 Bourgogne Aligoté. It was a sweeter, more typical white than the first two. The winemaker explained that the first two were made from chardonnay grapes and the last was aligoté, a varietal I had never heard of before and is apparently unique to the Burgundy region.
We noticed that the next booth over was serving cheeses from Burgundy, so we thought we'd better follow up with that. The very friendly woman there served us some Cendre de Vergy, a soft ripened cheese covered in ash and washed in marc. (For the uninitiated, washed-rind cheeses are some of the stinkiest and tastiest out there.)
We also tried a Petit Creux AOC époisses – another marc-washed soft cheese, but without the ash. We didn't want to go home without it, but were running low on cash. As they didn't accept credit cards, we dug into our pockets and managed to scrape together enough coins to buy it (not as low-rent as it sounds, the coins are worth more here). The woman then proceeded to ask us when we planned to eat the cheese, so she could give us one at the perfect degree of ripeness! Awesome.
After some fruity Provençal olive oil, three-year-old Reggiano, and a bathroom break, we entered the home stretch. We started with a sip of Château Renon Sauternes. It was not too sweet, with the characteristic golden color. It went smashingly with the ostrich-liver pâté we tried next, which was decadent, but a must-have for our fridge. They also had ostrich sausages, which were surprisingly beefy in flavor. And then there was the Basque donkey sausage, which we sampled more for novelty's sake than anything else. And the four-year-old cheese:
Clearly, I couldn't walk past that without trying it, despite the ominous sign reading "Réservé aux Connaisseurs." I'm not scared. It was very strong and piquant, but delicious.
Then we met Damien Rineau, a 9th generation winemaker from Nantes. We tasted his 2006 Muscadet sur lie, whose slight fennel smell makes it a natural match for seafood. The 2004 Fleur de Gabbro was refreshing and drinkable, and the 1997 Vieilles Vignes Gorgeois, made from a grape called "Melon de Bourgogne," was rich and complex.
In the far back corner of the room, we snacked on terrine campagnarde (pork pâté with bits of meat), terrine de foie à l'armagnac (pork liver and armagnac pâté), and chorizo with pipérade. We finished off the day with a 25-year-old cognac.

HR Differences in California
Human Resources in California
Unique Employment Labor Laws to be aware of if you have employees located in California.
As California businesses have grown, so has the number of workers attracted to this diverse state. Although many employers are physically located in other states, they often have employees who work in California and therefore need to be informed of California's labor laws and regulations.
Legal requirements in California prevail over other state laws and in some cases supersede federal laws as well. California regulations are subject to enforcement by up to six different state regulatory agencies, in comparison other states are usually subject to only two or three. Listed below are several legal requirements that are exclusive to workers in California.
Wage & Hour Issues
Minimum Wages
As opposed to the Federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, California's minimum wage effective Jan. 1, 2018 is $10.50 per hour for employers with 25 or fewer employees and $11.00 per hour for employers with 26 or more employees. These minimum wages also impact the minimum weekly salary that must be paid for executive, administrative, and professional employees to be exempt to avoid misclassification problems. (Two times the applicable minimum wage multiplied by 2080 hours).
Throughout the state, there are many city wages and living wages which supersede California's state minimum wage laws. See the "Minimum Wage and Paid Sick Leave" Fact Sheet on our website under "Additional Resources."
Wage Theft Protection Act - Required Notice
Employers are required to inform each employee of their rights by providing specific information in writing to new employees upon hire and to other employees upon request. The Labor Commissioner has developed a form that an employer may elect to use to comply with these provisions.
California Labor Code section 2810.5 requires employers to give new hired nonexempt employees a notice disclosing rate of pay, regular payday, employer name and address, and information regarding paid sick leave as applicable to that employee. Employers must also notify employees within seven days of any changes to this information. While employers are not required to use the form provided by the Labor Commissioner, it is strongly recommended that you use the form prepared by the Labor Commission available on its web site.
Timely Payment of Wages, Including Final Pay
Timely wage payment rules are very strict in California. For each late paycheck, California's Labor Code allows the recovery of up to $200, plus 25% of the amount unlawfully withheld, per employee, per payroll period.
Employees who are involuntary discharged (fired or laid off) must be paid all of their unpaid wages, including accrued but unused vacation or paid time off, at their time of discharge. This rule applies to all employees, including those who are released after completing a specific job assignment, even if the assignment is as short as one day.
Employees who voluntarily end their employment must receive their final paycheck on their last day of employment, if they gave at least 72 hours of notice. If an employee walks off the job, the employer has 72 hours (clock hours regardless of whether your business is open for operation) to make the final paycheck available to the employee.
Failure to meet these payment rules can result in a penalty of up to 30 days of pay at the employee's regular daily rate if the employee files a claim with the Labor Commissioner.
Pay Stub Rules
With each paycheck an employee must receive a written itemized statement (pay stub or other written documentation) with 11 separate items, such as:
• The inclusive dates of the pay period
• Name of the employee and social security number (only the last four digits)
• Name and address of the employer
• All applicable hourly rates in effect during the pay period and the corresponding number of hours worked at each hourly rate by the employee.
Employers must also show how many days of mandatory paid sick leave employees have available on the pay stub, or on a document issued the same day as the paycheck. If an employer provides unlimited paid sick leave or unlimited paid time off, the employer may indicate "unlimited" on your pay stub or other document provided to you the same day as your wages.
Failure to include all required information with each paycheck can result in penalties of $100 per employee, per violation, up to a maximum of $4,000 per employee. The risk and potential impact: Penalties up to $4,000, per employee
California law also requires employers to keep a copy of all payroll records showing the daily hours worked and the wages paid to its employees for at least three years, at the place of employment or at a central location within the State of California. The California Labor Commissioner is assessing a $250 penalty as an initial citation and a $1,000 penalty for each subsequent violation.
Payroll Deductions
Common payroll deductions made by employers in other states are often unlawful in California. Examples of unlawful deductions include those taken for: uniforms, lost safety equipment, broken supplies and other business losses resulting from the employee's simple negligence. Penalties for employers are up to $200, plus 25% of the amount unlawfully withheld, per employee, per payroll period.
Meal and Rest Periods
California has employee friendly break and lunch requirements for all nonexempt employees not heard of in other states and not required by federal law.
The timing and duration of breaks (rest) and meal (lunch) periods are very specific in California. If they are not provided as required, employers must self impose a penalty, payable to the employee, equal to one hour of the employees' regular rate of pay. These penalty payments are considered wages and employees may recover penalties for up to four years. If the employer fails to pay the penalty on the payday for the period in which the violation occurred, employees may seek additional penalties including liquidated damages for each payday that was "underpaid".
Alternative Workweek Scheduling
In California, employers may create Alternative Work Weeks which allow their employees to work a daily schedule in excess of an eight hour workday and avoid overtime penalties. However, implementing an alternative workweek schedule requires a strict adherence to state guidelines. Among other things, a secret ballot vote must be passed by 2/3 of the unit that would be affected by the alternative workweek schedule. Failure to follow the correct procedures when adopting an alternative workweek can invalidate the alternative work week schedule and result in penalties of up to four years of unpaid overtime pay, interest penalties and attorney fees.
Overtime Issues
Overtime Pay Rates
California's hourly overtime laws are much more employee friendly than other states. Not paying overtime correctly can lead to huge penalties for employers.
California employees are entitled to time-and-a-half (1.5 times their regular rate of pay) after working eight hours in a day and double overtime pay after working 12 hours in day. In addition, California has a 7th day overtime premium on the 7th consecutive day worked in a workweek. Many of these "employee friendly" overtime laws contrast with those in other states and Federal laws which only require overtime to be paid after 40 hours have been worked in a workweek.
Misclassification of Employees
Incorrectly classifying an employee as "exempt" from overtime and meal and rest break requirements can result in up to four years of back overtime pay, plus interest and penalties.
When analyzing overtime exemptions, federal law and most state laws focus on the tasks of the job and ask whether the "primary" duty is of an exempt nature. California instead uses two primary tests to determine whether someone is an exempt employee. First employers must ensure the employee spends more than 50% of his or her time performing "exempt" duties which must include a significant amount of independent judgment. Second, they must use a salary test to ensure the employee earns at least two times the minimum wage.
Out of State Employees Working in California
Since a 2011 court decision, employees based outside of California who work in California for full days or weeks must be paid overtime based on California legal requirements while they are working in California.
Wages for Employees in the Computer Industry
Computer Software employees must earn at least $43.58 per hour, or $7,565.85 per month, or $90.790.07 per year to be exempt from California's overtime laws. This salary is adjusted annually according to the consumer price index.
Wages for Physicians and Surgeons
California annually adjusts the overtime exemption "salary test" for licensed physicians and surgeons. To reflect the California Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. The 2018 minimum hourly rate of pay for licensed physicians and surgeons to qualify as exempt is $79.39.
Employers who believe their employees may qualify for any of the exemption categories need to review the requirements on the exemption worksheets to ensure employees meet both the duties and the salary test.
Leaves of Absence and Vacation Policies
Leave of Absence Laws
While most states have two or three required employee leaves of absence, California employers must provide over 20 leaves of absence to employees. Some unique examples of California Leave Laws include:
- Military Leave which allows spouses of deployed military personnel who are granted leave from "combat zones" to take time off to be with their spouse.
- Job-protected time off for parents to deal with school discipline matters.
- Paid time off for voting.
- California Pregnancy Disability Leave applies to employers with 5 or more employees and grants four months of leave to employees with disabilities relating to pregnancy. Unlike FMLA, there is no one year service requirement
- CA Family Rights Act grants pregnant women an additional 12 weeks of protected time off to bond with their child, if they are eligible for FMLA. Thus, a pregnant employee in California is eligible for up to 7 months of job protected time off.
- Effective January 1, 2018, the New Parent Leave Act will require employers with 20-49 employees to provide eligible employees up to 12 weeks of protected time off to bond with their child.
California Healthy Families Act - Paid Sick Leave Law
ALL employers, both public and private, are required to provide paid sick leave to all of their employees, with a few exceptions. Several cities have also developed their own paid sick leave requirements that are in excess of the State's required plan. This comes with many compliance issues including:
• Carryover and accrual requirements
• Posting requirements
• Record keeping requirements
Domestic Violence/Stalking Leave – Required Notice
Employers are required to inform each employee of their rights by providing specific information in a notice prepared by the Labor Commissioner, available in English and Spanish, to new employees upon hire and to other employees upon request.
When it comes to earned and accrued vacation, California does not allow "Use-It-Or-Lose-It" policies. Employers are allowed to put a reasonable "cap" or "cash out" policy in place. Vacation pay is considered "wages" under California laws, therefore, all accrued unpaid days must be paid out to an employee when the employment relationship ends. A final paycheck which does not include all vacation hours can result in waiting time penalties and up to 30 days of "late pay".
Additional Regulations Exclusive to California
Sexual Harassment Training
For employers with 50 or more employees, California requires that employers provide two hours of sexual harassment training for all supervisors every two years. If an employer has at least 50 employees, those supervisors working in California must be trained even if there are less than 50 employees in California. The definition of a supervisor is broad and includes anyone with the authority to direct the work of others.
Manager's Liability
Managers in the State of California can be held personally responsible for allowing sexual harassment in the workplace to continue to occur after the harassment has been reported. Managers can also be held responsible for dangerous work environments. Any employer or manager who has actual knowledge of a concealed danger and fails to notify the affected employees and appropriate state agency can be fined or imprisoned or both.
Non-compete Agreements
California employers cannot prevent ex-employees from working for competitors. Non-compete agreements in California are generally not valid. California courts view non-compete agreements as "against public policy" (against the public good). Most other states will enforce such covenants when they are reasonable.. However, under state law, employers may enforce reasonable confidentiality, intellectual property assignment, non-solicitation and non-disclosure agreements.
Arbitration Agreements
Mandatory arbitration provisions covering wrongful termination or employment discrimination claims must satisfy certain requirements. California employers do have the right to require employees to sign arbitration agreements as a condition of employment, however, employers must take care that the arbitration agreement is not "unconscionable," which would render it unenforceable. In addition, class action arbitration waivers are generally unenforceable and individual arbitration is favored by the courts.
Wage Theft Protection Act
All non-exempt employees must receive a notice disclosing rate of pay, regular payday, employer name and address among other things. A template for this notice was produced by the DLSE and must be given to new employees as well current employees when their wages change.
WARN Act – Layoffs and Business Closures
The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) requires companies employing a certain number of employees to provide written notice prior to any mass layoffs or plant closings to specified entities. Employers can be liable for back pay, penalties up to $500 a day for each day of violation for a maximum of 60 days, and liable for the cost of any medical expenses incurred by employees that would have been covered under an employee benefit plan for the period of the violation. California's version of the WARN Act is broader in scope and effects more employers than the federal version.
San Francisco
The city of San Francisco has additional laws and mandates which often supersede both State and Federal Laws. Be sure to review our "What's Different About San Francisco Laws" whitepaper.
In Conclusion
California is a unique state when it comes to labor and employment laws. Human Resource professionals in other states who are responsible for California employees can get the HR assistance they need from CEA's HR experts.

Am I getting all this correct? No, you're getting it all wrong. Linux is under attack, yes. There are a number of things we can and should do about that, and we will as we can. The only way that a BSD kernel affects this at all is by helping to make Debian more portable and universal an OS and by helping to some degree to take the focus off of Linux in particular within Debian's circle. Yes I would like to see Debian support alternate kernels with the same OS because it's good to do it, it helps us not be focused on Linux so much, and it's cool hack value. > Use FreeBSD all you want, hell propose we support it in Debian, and see > how thin our resources get, how huge our distribution get's, how many > mirrors drop our site, and how many people leave in frustration of the > growing development costs on their time and energy. In that case, we should drop hurd too and just support Linux since hurd isn't exactly useful yet. We should probably stop trying to support machines that aren't used by massive segments of the population to safe space. At some point we hope hurd can be pretty much a drop-in kernel.

Based on the logic in your argument, anything other than i386 Linux we shouldn't be trying to support because it bloats the distribution to a large degree and spreads our development efforts out. -- "Do you think she's the sincere type? ...

AT a time when more and more educators decry illiteracy in America, author Jim Trelease remains a staunch advocate of reading aloud as a way to stimulate children's interest in books. In the six years since Mr. Trelease self-published his 30-page pamphlet of recommended read-alouds, he has spoken to innumerable librarians, teachers, and parents. His book, ``The Read-Aloud Handbook'' (Penguin, $6.95), is in its second edition by a commercial publisher. Amazingly, the first edition was on the New York Times best-seller list for 19 weeks.
Trelease's unassuming, almost professorial presence belies his intense commitment to reading and literacy among children.
``What you really want is learning that lasts . . . a lifetime,'' he said in a recent interview with the Monitor. ``If you learn to love reading -- and it lasts a lifetime -- that is the most important thing the kid is ever going to learn in that classroom.
``What we make children love and desire is a whole lot more important than what we make them learn in the classroom. Because if a kid wants to learn, [if] he wants to read, [if] he wants to find out the answers, then he can teach himself.''
Trelease points to the many poignant stories included in his handbook of children whose lives have been changed because a parent or teacher has read to them.
``I think you read aloud to children for all the same reasons that you talk to children,'' he says. ``To inspire them, to guide them, motivate them, to stir their curiosity. Those are things that you can do talking to kids, but you can't whet a child's appetite to want to read by talking. You've got to read aloud to that child . . . ''
One example Trelease cites is that of a sixth-grade teacher assigned to a class of remedial students. As part of her curriculum, she began reading aloud. The students were insulted -- they could read themselves and did not want her reading to them. But she persisted. Soon the class was reminding her not to forget to read aloud.
The biggest breakthrough came later. One of the slowest readers in the class checked out the book the teacher was reading to the class and finished it himself. He came to school the next day and told the class how it ended. The teacher didn't care that the student gave away the ending. What mattered to her was that that book had been the key to open that boy's mind.
Trelease insists that with the steep competition from television, time for reading is often crowded out of children's lives. Those children who are read to by a parent or teacher are given an experience that will remain with them throughout their lifetime. Regular reading aloud, according to Trelease, will strengthen a child's reading, writing, and speaking skills, enriching the overall primary education process and laying the foundation for improved literacy skills.
Trelease, a former cartoonist for the Springfield (Mass.) Daily News, became an avid advocate of reading aloud when his daughter was a young child.
``I started to choose books that I was as much interested in as she was because of my art background,'' he says with a smile. ``I was picking Mercer Mayer books and Maurice Sendak books and Edward Ardizzone books because I loved the way they drew.'' Trelease was soon reading such books as ``Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel'' and ``The Tale of Peter Rabbit'' for the very first time.
He began buttonholing neighbors and relatives, asking them if they had read certain books to their children. If they hadn't, he would tell them, ``Well, you've got to read it!'' He would continue to pester them until the book had been read.
The second edition of his handbook has been updated with the many children's books published since 1982, while deleting those no longer in print (nearly 20 percent). Trelease also updated the reading and education statistics.
``There are some new trends in publishing and in the academic world that need to be noted -- some very hopeful signs,'' he says. ``And then there are some not-so-hopeful signs.''
One of the more important changes he notes is an increase in parental involvement in child-rearing. ``These are the people who were members of the first television generation. . . . `My Three Sons' replaced `The Three Bears' at night. And `I Dream of Jeannie' replaced `Aladdin and His Lamp.'
``Now they are looking at their own children and thinking, `There was something missing in my childhood, and I don't want it to happen to my kid.' ''
Another improvement Trelease notes is the number of publishers now producing affordable paperbacks, which encourages parents to build a home library. ``A couple of years ago [publishers] weren't thinking in those terms. [Today] lots of them are bringing books out simultaneously in hard cover and paperback. Paperback for the parent market, hard cover for the library market.''
Trelease remains concerned about educators who are uninformed about children's literature. Recently, he asked 13 elementary teachers, ``How many of you have ever read `Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day'? '' -- one of the most humorous children's books on the market.
``One out of 13 had read it. Now at first, I was a little embarrassed for the 12 who had not read it. But that embarrassment turned to indignation when I got to thinking about the thousands of children who had come through that school who had never been treated to Alexander.''
Trelease says one remedy is to require a children's literature course in teaching curriculums. Although many universities offer such courses, it is not necessary for teacher certification in all states.
Trelease also criticizes elementary schools for a lack of silent reading time. ``Most of the schools in the United States do not have sustained silent reading [SSR], and yet all of the studies done on it indicate that there is a powerful connection -- a significant connection -- between SSR and reading development and the improvement of reading.''
One of his more poignant examples of a need for free reading is the story of Jimmy, a sixth-grade student from a troubled home. Trelease had read to Jimmy's class from ``Where the Sidewalk Ends,'' by well-known children's author Shel Silverstein.
``The teacher told me that when I left . . . Jimmy came back into the room. He said, `That book that Mr. Trelease talked about, can I borrow that?' He wanted to read it every day. I made sure that he got a copy of his own.''

Medical Sciences 9th Century | Inventions by Muslims
Medical Sciences 9th century
The Muslims have made a lasting contribution to the development of Medical Science. Al-Razi (Rhazes), Ibn Sina (Avicenna), and Abu Ali al-Hasan (Alhazen) were the greatest medical scholars of mediaeval times. And there works were being TAUGHT IN WEST FOR 700 YEARS.
Abū Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakarīya al-Rāzi is known in the West as Rhazes. According to al-Biruni, a great Muslim scientist, he was born in Rayy, Iran in the year 865 AD (251 AH), and died there in 925 AD (313 AH)
Al-Razi was a versatile Persian physician, philosopher, and scholar who made fundamental and enduring contributions to the fields of medicine, alchemy, and philosophy, recorded in over 184 books and articles in various fields of science. He was well versed in Greek medical knowledge and added substantially to it from his own observations. He was unquestionably one of the greatest thinkers of the Islamic World, and had an enormous influence on European science and medicine.
He was the inventor of "Seton". 'Seton' is the thread or similar object inserted beneath the skin to provide drainage or to guide subsequent passage of a tube, in surgery. Further more he was the author of 'Al-Judari wal Hasbak', authentic book dealing with measles and small pox, describing how to distinguish then from each other. Seen as one of the greatest physicians in the world in the Middle Ages, Al-Razi stressed empirical observation and clinical medicine and was unrivalled as a diagnostician. He also wrote works on hygiene in hospitals.
The 10th century surgeon al-Zahrawi was the first to develop sophisticated surgical tools for operations. He also made plaster to help broken bones heal. Al-Zahrawi developed pioneering operative techniques, including the ceasarean section.
Avicenna wrote 'Al-Qanun Jil Tib known as Cannon', which was the most widely studied medical work of mediaevel times and was reprinted more than twenty times during the last 30 years of the 15th century in many different languages. The book remained a standard textbook even in Europe, for over 700 years.
The contagious character of the plague and its remedies were discovered by Ibn Katina, a Moorish Physician. Other significant contributions were made in pharmacology, such as Ibn Sina's 'Kitab al-Shifa' (Book of Healing), and in public health.
Every major city in the Islamic world (Muslim caliphate) had a number of excellent hospitals, some of them teaching hospitals, and many of them were specialized for particular diseases, including mental and emotional.
The Ottomans were particularly noted for their building of hospitals and for the high level of hygiene practiced in them.

Coach: Fred Birchett (2nd year, 7-5).
Last year: 7-5 overall, 4-2 district.
Offense: Double wing.
Defense: Split-4.
Top returnees: RB-S Ryan Kuester (21-for-68, 321 yards passing as quarterback), TE-LB Maurice Christian, OT Kirk Godsey, OG-LB Scott Cowles, LB Burt Torrence, C Dennis Cagwin, OG Johnny Gregory, RT Tim Bandy.
Key newcomers: QB Dereck Kibler, WB James Smith, RB Robert Harris, TE Brian Curtis, DG Greg Powell.
Analysis: Birchett exudes plenty of optimism about a possible district title and/or return to the playoffs. "I've heard our athletic director, Eddie Allen, say it's been 10 or 12 years since we've had this much size," Birchett said. "We were very satisfied with our young team last year, and now I've got some really good personnel. We've got 13 kids over 200 pounds and 30 guys on the varsity."
Coach: Steve Griffith (2nd year, 10-2).
Last year: 10-2 overall, 6-0 district.
Offense: Full house, Winged-T.
Defense: 6-2, 5-2, Split 4.
Top returnees: QB-DB Raymond Ewell, OT-DT Shane Sorey, OG-LB Jason Cann, LB Matt Lawson, LB Clay Hammond, LB Charlie Armistead.
Key newcomers: HB Jerry Davis, QB Michael Brown, TE J.W. Thomas, P Daniel Wood.
Analysis: Looking back at the Blue Devils' march to the district title and regional Division 1 final in his first season, Griffith kept plenty humble. Another reconstruction job awaits him now. "We could have been 2-10 as easily as 10-2, but we got a couple of wins that nobody expected us to get," Griffith said.
Coach: Silas Musgrove (6th year, 23-25).
Last year: 7-4 overall, 3-3 district.
Offense: split backs, I.
Defense: 6-2, 5-2 monster.
Top returnees: QB-CB Vannie Spruill (35-for-111, 483 yards passing), RB Stephen Paige (204 carries, 1,394 yards in eight games), HB-DE Randy Whiting, RB-NG Javier Smith, WR-DB Jerry Miles, OG-DT Corry Tabb, OT-DT Manuel Montez.
Key newcomers: WR-DB Governor Washington, OT-DE Chris Jones.
Analysis: Coming off last year's playoff appearance, the Panthers feature one of the region's most dynamic backfield combinations in Spruill and Paige.
Coach: Roger Brookes (17th year, 100-66-5)
Last year: 5-5 overall (forfeited two games), 4-2 district.
Offense: Double wing.
Defense: 50.
Top returnees: RB-DB Mark Roane, C L.A. Lipscomb, OG-LB Mark Barnette, OE Troy Johnson, OE David Collawn, RB Ed Tyler, LB Brian Stephens, QB Jeff Shaver, DE Mark Butler.
Key newcomers: RB-DB Sterling Branch, QB David Wright, OT Clint Collins, OT James Thornton, DB Goggin Latney, DE Troy Johnson.
Analysis: The Brookes has 32 players, more than many of his foes. "I've had teams where we could make mistakes and still win, but this is not one of them."
Coach: Joe McCray (1st year).
Last year: 6-4 overall, 3-3 district.
Offense: I, T, Pro set.
Defense: multiple.
Top returnees: RB-DB Ronnie Harvey, FB-LB Charles Johnson, C William Johnson, QB-DB Michael Robinson, OL-NG Sean Dabney, OL-DT Steve Fortune, OL-DT Michael Hill, DB-QB Carl Robinson, LB William "Percy" Johnson.
Key newcomer: WR Hampton Taliaferro.
Analysis: McCray, who assisted Group A Coach of the Year Jeff Mechling last year, inherits 13 lettermen among 32 players.
Coach: Bill Garbett (4th year, 13-18).
Last year: 4-6 overall, 0-6district.
Offense: split backs.
Defense: varied eight-man front.
Top returnees: QB-S Stan Clements, RB-DG/LB Raymond Bagby, RB-DB Sean Sutherlin, NG Mike Glasco, DE Shannon Green, FL-LB Jason Brockwell, TE Tim Jessie, TE Brent Whitaker, OG Graham Lang, OG-LB John Wolf.
Key newcomer: OT-DG Ronnie Ellis.
Analysis: Garbett wants his Chargers to shed their see-saw label of last season by putting forth consistent effort.
Coach: Mark Dorsey (2nd year, 4-6).
Last year: 4-6 overall, 1-5 district.
Offense: Multiple, Pro I.
Defense: Even front.
Top returnees: QB Randy Harrell, RB-LB Jack Lawson, WR-CB Michael Stanley, TB William "Bubba" Kelly, WB Scott Britton, OC-DT Timmy Greggs, C-T Johnny Ronk, G-T Ernie Langston.
Key newcomers: G-T Boo Randall, OL Donald Green, DT Robert Latham.
Analysis: Instead of expecting championship flags to fly alongside the town's paper mills, Dorsey is taking his time to sharpen a young unit that lost nine seniors and has just 18 players.

- Wedding: November 2015
I am having a panic attack. One of my bridesmaids was on vacation last week and had a moped accident. She fell and basically landed on her face. Nothing is broken just severely bruised, she went to the hospital on the island and had X-rays and ct scans done. She needed stitches he's on her lip but they instead glued it together. She has two black eyes and is limping because the moped fell on her leg. My wedding is sept 19, she already cancelled on my bachelorette which I understand. But I am so nervous about the wedding ,she keeps saying she "should" be fine by then but I'm so nervous. I guess I" just looking for encouragement. I love her to death and I'm glad it's not more serious. But because it's so close to the wedding I'm being a little selfish and worrying about the wedding 🙁

Join Rich for his second session of the day where he will take attendees through - Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud (FCCS) or Hyperion Financial Management (HFM. What's the difference and why choose one or the other?
Timing: 15:20 - 16:05, Best Practice track
Oracle released FCCS in May 2016 as a new cloud solution for the consolidation and close market. This new solution is built on the EPM Cloud platform and while it accomplishes the same results as HFM it, at times, does things differently. Come to this session and learn about the differences, and similarities, between the two solutions. For existing HFM customers this session will help you better understand the roadmap for HFM and how it relates to the cloud. For new customers this session will help you understand what solution may be right for you.

Since the launch of the New Learning Experience (NLE) in July, we have seen our approach gain traction both inside and outside of Blackboard. The NLE is our approach to education that fosters better engagement, interaction, and quality learning through the delivery of leading-edge technology, services and data capabilities. Through these data capabilities, we're delivering the solutions that students need to be successful, so it should come as no surprise that we are continuing to make a bigger investment in our data analytics solutions.
Because of this, I am excited to announce that we are welcoming Blue Canary, a leading provider of predictive analytics solutions, into the Blackboard family.
Blue Canary offers critical solutions that harness the power of data to improve student retention and help students succeed. Their early alert system analyzes a variety of data points to determine students who may be at risk and enables early intervention. By joining forces, we will be able to support more institutions and learners who depend upon data analytics to achieve their retention goals and improve academic success, respectively.
There are really two primary reasons behind today's announcement, and they both deal directly with what we've heard from our customers and the educational community at large:
- There is a drastic need for tools that improve retention of learners by enabling the easy application and analysis of data that comes through the learner's educational experience. This data holds the key to unlocking answers to the most critical issues facing learner retention today.
- Through conversations with our customers and engaging directly in broad industry conversations, it is clear that student retention is top of mind for educational leaders. Blue Canary's expertise in retention, along with technology that is geared toward allowing for early and accurate identification of students who are struggling, made this a very strategic move for our company.
Initially the Blue Canary solution will only be available in North America, but our intention is to extend this capability into other markets in the future. Please stay tuned for future briefings as plans solidify.
Lastly, I am particularly excited to welcome Mike Sharkey to Blackboard – not only is Mike a leader in the analytics space having spent 13 years in education analytics, he is a thought leader in the realm of predictive analytics and their application in an educational environment. He is also an individual who shares the same passion for education and the outcomes of learners around the world as I do, and that Blackboard does as a company. We are very lucky to have Mike and his team join our company.
Please join me in welcoming Mike and his team, Satya Mudiam and Satish Divakarla, to Blackboard.

NAPLES, Italy -- Andy Murray completed a straight sets victory over Andreas Seppi as Britain levelled the Davis Cup quarterfinal against Italy 1-1 on Saturday. Murray won 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 in more than three hours for a sixth straight victory over Seppi as he kept alive Britains bid to reach the Davis Cup semifinals for the first time since 1981. The match had been suspended Friday night due to fading light, with the British No. 1 leading 6-4, 5-5. When play resumed, Murray immediately broke and then held his serve to take a commanding lead. Seppi appeared to be getting back into the game with an early break in the third set. But the Italian immediately relinquished his advantage with a double fault to allow Murray to break back. The two-time Grand Slam champion won five games in a row to seal the match. Seppi will rue his missed opportunities in the second set where, after wasting two chances to take a 5-2 lead, he also had four set points saved before a double fault handed Murray the decisive break. Murray will return to the court later Saturday for the doubles match with Colin Fleming against Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolelli. Italy has not lost at home to Britain since 1926 and will be hoping the vociferous home support can help it reach the final four for the first time in 16 years.

Phoenix got injured centre Emeka Okafor and a top-12-protected first-round draft pick in 2014 -- giving the rebuilding Suns potentially four choices in the opening round. The Suns also sent guards Kendall Marshall, Shannon Brown and Malcolm Lee to Washington so the deal will work financially.

Gary Sanchez Jersey
. They have watched it from afar. And now they have seen it for themselves.JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Richard Sherman, Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch deservedly draw the attention for what theyve done in getting the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl. Players like Jermaine Kearse, Walter Thurmond and Malcolm Smith are just as big a reason why Seattle is facing Denver in Sundays championship game. Seattle may have one of the better starting lineups in the NFL, but the depth that general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll have amassed is equally impressive. Its the reason they can rotate eight different defensive linemen. Its why when Brandon Browner was injured and Thurmond suspended, Byron Maxwell could step in and the play in Seattles secondary not suffer. Its a regular refrain in the Seattle locker room to hear teammates say the Seahawks reserves could be starters on other teams. And there is some proof: in the past year 23 players once with Seattle have spent time on the 53-man roster of other teams. "Its crazy because were always saying our backups could be starters. We always say that," strong safety Kam Chancellor said. "Those guys, people dont see this, but in practice those guys play just as good as us. Theyre making plays, getting the ball. Those guys contribute on special teams. Our special teams are probably one of the best. "Those guys put in work on special teams and it just goes unseen." When Carroll and Schneider took over, there was a revolving door of roster moves --839 in total since before the start of the 2010 season -- that followed in an effort to make a roster that was competitive beyond just the starters on each side of the ball. They wanted a depth chart that was the envy of the NFL. They wanted their reserves coveted by other teams. They wanted guys they were going to be released grabbed off the waiver wire the second they were made available. Seattle got its wish. Of the players released in the past year, five ended up in Jacksonville and four landed in Kansas City. "John and I have joined together aggressively to compete at every single turn, at every opportunity whatever it may be, to see if theres something in there for us," Carroll said. "Hes done a great job of having the competitive will to keep pushing and fighting and clawing and scratching to have the opportunity that has sent us down thhe road early on with the hundreds of guys that came through the program.dddddddddddd" Kearse, Thurmond and Smith are just three examples of players not counted on as full-time starters that have proven invaluable. Seattles seen contributions from Michael Bowie, Clinton McDonald, Jeremy Lane and Heath Farwell just to name a few more. Kearse was an undrafted free agent that signed with Seattle in 2012 and became a needed option as a third and fourth receiver this season with Percy Harvin and Sidney Rice suffering through injuries. Kearse finished with 22 receptions and four touchdowns in the regular season, but his biggest catch came in the NFC championship game when his 35-yard TD grab in the fourth quarter gave Seattle a 20-17 lead. Thurmond missed four games late in the season when he was suspended for violating the leagues substance-abuse policy. But hes started three games at cornerback this season and is Seattles best option as the fifth defensive back covering slot receivers -- a big emphasis this week with the amount of times the Broncos throw. Smith has shown the same kind of versatility at linebacker. Hes played both outside spot this season, first when Bruce Irvin was suspended and later when injuries to K.J. Wright and Bobby Wagner forced shuffling. "Through all the stuff we have gone through there has always been a guy who stepped up and made plays," Wagner said. "Last year it was Walter, this year it was Walter and Maxwell and guys like Malcolm, everybody. We have a bunch of players that if someone went down can step in and do a great job." One of the ways Seattle was able to create such a dynamic roster came from the three-way quarterback competition that Carroll had last season and which Wilson eventually won. It sent the message to the entire roster and to any free agents -- big-name or small-time -- that Seattle was a place they could come and have a chance. "You could tell looking at our board of players that we had fast, confident, intelligent individuals," Schneider said last week. "Guys who knew they were going to come in and compete for positions because the previous year we had a three person quarterback competition. "You know you have a shot when you have a three person quarterback competition as a player."

San MiguelLarge Print - 2012

Boyle tells this story of two families living on San Miguel, one of the Channel Islands off coast of California at Santa Barbara. They are told through the eyes of women, reluctant adventurers in this lonely place during the 1880s and the 1930s.
As he did in his book The Women, Boyle uses real lives, journals and articles to create his fictional tale. But, I had an uneasy feeling this time. Marantha, the woman from an earlier time, is dying of TB, making the first part very grim. By contrast, Elise embraces her life on this remote island, seemingly happier than could be possible. Disappointing for me
Interesting descriptions of these women's different experiences living on an isolated island at different time periods. I kept expecting the stories to interweave in some way, but each story was isolated as well.
