Discussion in 'UPS Discussions' started by poophappens, Feb 15, 2015.
According to the FAA they can't fly their drones. Looks like job security to me!
Now if you can just convince them to stop sending their shiiiite through FedEx and the USPS we'd be golden.
Good. Drones should be illegal IMO. Too many stupid people out there. The harm to actual aircraft is too high to allow those things.
That was a big threat.
This only applies to commercial applications, but here is a summary of the proposed regulations:
Unmanned aircraft must weigh less than 55 lbs. (25 kg).
Visual line-of-sight (VLOS) only; the unmanned aircraft must remain within VLOS of the operator or visual observer.
At all times the small unmanned aircraft must remain close enough to the operator for the operator to be capable of seeing the aircraft with vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses.
Small unmanned aircraft may not operate over any persons not directly
involved in the operation.
Proposes a microUAS option that would allow operations in Class G airspace, over people not involved in the operation, provided the operator certifies he or she has the requisite aeronautical knowledge to perform the operation.
Daylight-only operations (official sunrise to official sunset, local time).
Maximum airspeed of 100 mph (87 knots).
Maximum altitude of 500 feet above ground level.
We don't make crap on their packages so I'm not too worried about it anyway.
It should all be limited to Class G airspace. Not that it matters though. A lot of the people buying the drones don't know the difference.
Why would you not care? Maybe YOU aren't worried about Amazon and maybe YOU aren't happy with the profits on Amazon packages but plenty of other people are. The additional work would provide jobs for plenty of UPSers (and those not yet employed at UPS) around the country and keep work out of the hands of our competition. But I guess only those of us that care about the success and growth of the very company we work for "worry" about silly little details like that.
Growth at zero profit means nothing for a company as old as ups. Just look at the 4th quarter.
Doesn't really matter we are never going to see 100% of Amazon packages and we couldn't handle the volume anyway.
So you are saying it wouldn't be a good thing to get more volume from Amazon, which we could handle actually with some expanding we need need anyway, and provide more jobs for people just because you could care care less? Man, I'm glad you aren't in sales. Or maybe your are. They seem to be lacking lately.
And our fourth quarter wasn't the epic train wreck many in upper management would have you believe. It just wasn't.
From what I've seen, an 'Amazon Sort' is a pretty sweet gig for inside workers-PT or 22.3. Lots of smalls so the manager usually gets good #s, overall pkgs are pretty light for unloaders, sorters, & loaders.
Would definitely need more drivers, trucks, even expand or add centers, at least around here.
I don't believe it was a failure I don't think upper management does but Wall Street did and that's all that matters.
Sure Amazon could add a lot of jobs for what 2-3 years. I mean they aren't signing a 20 year contract they could switch very easily then We would be screwed. That's why I am not worried about Amazon volume. I'd love volume from tons of other companies but not Amazon.
You said we would be golden with more Amazon. Low profit volume would not turn out well for us in the long run.
Low profit volume (which you called zero profit earlier) is better than zero. Low profit volume plus any other profitable volume provides stable jobs that strengthen the local economy (including shopping more on Amazon and from our other more profitable online shippers) and additional cash flow for the company that can be invested in expansion. So you see....you are clearly missing the mark on this one. We need Amazon and we'd be better off getting more of their volume. Preferably all of it.
It does concern me that 40% or so of my daily stops are Amazon. How long can this last? I don't want that much dependence on a single company that can easily change the way they ship in a relatively short period of time.
We need to grow all current business and add more.
Some of the Lasership drivers I see dumping their stuff look like drones.
Get those sales leads.
Packages = Union jobs
And supervision.
And dat's what it's all about!
Separate names with a comma.

Underwater stunt gave Matt Damon sleepless nights
Updated: Jan 04, 2013, 08:50 AM IST
Comments |
Los Angeles: Actor Matt Damon was terrified after shooting an underwater scene in his 2004 movie 'The Bourne Supremacy' as he has always had a fear of drowning.
The 42-year-old even trained himself before shooting for the final time, but says it did not prove to be helpful.
"I didn`t want to do that at all. So I wouldn`t be constantly aware of how scared I am of drowning I had to go to a pool with this great stunt guy and dive master a couple of times a week for a month or so to train me to relax underwater without an oxygen mask," Playboy magazine quoted Damon as saying.
"That night I woke up probably four times gasping for breath, thinking I was drowning. It was terrible," he added.

Sicko Russian group behind bomb threats against 14 schools across Britain
A RUSSIAN Twitter group has claimed responsibility for a series of false bomb threats against schools in the UK.
The group, which uses an email address with a Russian domain name, says it was behind yesterday's threats to 14 schools.
They warn that they intend to cause "mayhem". Threats were made to six schools in the Midlands, four schools in London and four in Cornwall – as well as six in Paris.
Calls were made in quick succession at around 9am yesterday.
Police forces said they were investigating the threats, which they said "mirrored" hoax calls made to schools in the Black Country last week that saw hundreds of pupils sent home.
"They mirror the hoaxes several schools received just a few days ago"Assistant Chief Constable Carl Foulkes, of West Midlands Police
Assistant Chief Constable Carl Foulkes, of West Midlands Police, said: "Police intelligence suggests there is no credible threat behind the calls.
"They mirror the hoaxes several schools received just a few days ago.
"Local police officers have been sent to the affected schools to carry out checks and to offer reassurance.
"A police investigation is underway to find the person responsible for the calls."
But the profile for @Ev4cuati0nSquad, which has now been suspended, claimed to be able to "divert the police away from a crime you're going to commit".
The profile picture showed Russian president Vladimir Putin, and one tweet read: "We support the regime of Bashar al-Assad".
Councillor Darren Cooper, leader of Sandwell Council, said last night: "Four Sandwell secondary schools received bomb threats and the police were immediately alerted.
"To ensure the safety of pupils, head teachers at the schools made the decision to evacuate and pupils were sent home for the day.
"We are supporting the schools with their decision to put the children's safety first.
"Last week students and schools showed a sensible and rapid response to these threats and that should be the case again today."
Anyone with information can call police on 101 or Crime-stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Your health is your first wealth
Your health is your first wealth
If I were to ask you, 'Who is your best friend?' what would you say? If you have a partner, you might say that they are your best friend. Or you might have a friend who you would say you are loyal to and who looks out for you above anyone else. Some people might say their parent or their child. Others might say that their dog or other pet is their most loyal companion.
Not many people would answer the question with: 'my body'.
However this is the truth. Your body is your best friend. It is always there for you. It breathes for you, it supports you and allows you to exist. It was there for you before any of your friends or partners and it will be with you right until the end. It does more more you than even your parents or other caregivers.
Your health is your first wealth
And yet, for the majority of our lives, we treat it with little respect. We don't listen to the needs of our body. We push through physical pain or tiredness when it wants to rest.
But here is the truth, without our body, everything we have done and everything we have accumulated within the physical world would disappear. Everything we work for would have no meaning.
That is the magnitude and importance of our body.
With that in mind, I would encourage you to take an honest account of how you treat it, and make the required changes to ensure that your body supports you to the best of it's ability on your endeavours to become wealthier.
We all know the basics of what this means: putting good quality fuel into our bodies and practicing moderation with the things that are not so good for us. I like to have a drink, however I don't drink to excess. I like good food, but I also moderate my intake and ensure that I don't get bloated or sluggish.
Your health is your first wealth
I'm not about strict diet or lifestyle or promoting this, however I do definitely know from experience that a stronger, leaner body that benefits from moderate exercise is better placed to meet the demands of a busy lifestyle.
This doesn't mean pushing ourselves to our physical limits and becoming body builders. I'm not suggesting we spend hours in the gym, however spending time out walking in nature can be both inspiring and restorative. I have some of my best and most creative ideas whilst swimming. Time out for exercise has so many benefits and by treating yourself as the priority, you're also sending the message into the universe that you are important, and that you take your health seriously.
The key is to learn and do what is right for you and your body. I'm not going to give you lists of exercises or make suggestions about what you should or should not eat. Every body is different and has different needs based upon age, current lifestyle, injuries or levels of physical fitness and allergies.
In a previous blog post, I provided some guidance on how to get by on little sleep – because as you become more successful, you are going to experience one of the downsides of this: and that is you'll have less time in your day. This means that from time to time you'll compromise on the amount of sleep you get – whether that is because you're working late on travelling. I would say to you that you need to manage how often this occurs, and follow the above advice most of the time.
In the meantime, keep being AWESOME,

Time for NAHBS!
I am loading up the van and heading out in a few minutes. Wish me luck….I am driving my 1989 Caravan with 231,000 miles on it! Actually it runs great and has great heat. I drove it to Indianapolis last year. Betsy is flying in Thursday night and the show starts Friday.
I am not sure if I will have Internet access, while I am away, but if I do we will load some pictures up to Flicker.
UPDATE: Made it Richmond last night, but my van shit the bed before I got out of town! I rented a van, so the show goes on 😉

The FBI's Islamic Terrorism Denial
by Robert Spencer
The Washington Free Beacon revealed Friday that "the FBI's most recent national threat assessment for domestic terrorism makes no reference to Islamist terror threats, despite last year's Boston Marathon bombing and the 2009 Fort Hood shooting—both carried out by radical Muslim Americans." Instead, the threat assessment focused on eight types of groups: "anti-government militia groups and white supremacy extremists, along with 'sovereign citizen' nationalists, and anarchists," along with "violent animal rights and environmentalist extremists, black separatists, anti- and pro-abortion activists, and Puerto Rican nationalists."
The FBI focus on "anti-government militia groups and white supremacy extremists, along with 'sovereign citizen' nationalists, and anarchists" is ominous, for while there are indeed such people, the Obama Administration has already shown a disturbing tendency to lump all of its opponents into such categories, with scant concern for accuracy, and to be willing to use the IRS and the courts effectively to criminalize opposition to its agenda. Some such groups may indeed be violent and dangerous, but they're nothing compared to the global character of jihad terrorism – and yet jihad terrorism didn't even make the FBI list.

Chivas desperately needed a win against Atlante if it wanted to continue with playoff hopes. Instead, Chivas suffered a humiliating 3-1 defeat that greatly reduces their chances of making the Liguilla. With just 17 points, Chivas is now in the 12th place of the standings. Chivas would need to win its last three games against Atlas, Queretaro and Xolos if it wants to have a shot at the playoffs (historically, teams that get into the playoffs have at least 25-27 points).

I think you'll agree with me when I say:
It's tough being a busy guy with a thriving career who doesn't have endless time in the morning to devote to a tedious grooming regime.
It's even tougher being short on time but still wanting to look sleek and clean-shaven.
As it turns out, there is an easy way to get a close, clean shave without spending ages in front of the mirror every morning.
You heard me correctly! You don't have to sacrifice quality to get a speedy shave.
There is only one simple tool that a busy man-on-the-go needs: An electric shaver!
In this article, I'll show you the five best electric shavers on the market and why you should buy them.
Electric shavers are the best shaving tools that will give you a quick and efficient shave while leaving your face silky smooth and looking its best for whatever craziness your day may hold.
Braun Series 9 9095cc – The Overall Best Electric Shaver
Braun is a German company that is well-known for producing the best electric shavers on the market.
The Series 9 has been advertised as "The Official Shaver of the NFL," and although this is a lofty title, it certainly lives up to the hype.
Braun's previous series of electric shavers have been good, but the Series 9 is the absolute best that money can buy.
Although you will pay a hefty price for this razor, it is worth the splurge. It works exceptionally and appeals to men who are willing to pay a bit more to have the best grooming product.
It is completely waterproof and has a sleek gray and charcoal casing.
In the box, you get the electric shaver, a multifunctional cleaning & charging unit, and a travel case.
The Shave
The Braun Series 9 provides a high-quality shave and glides smoothly across the face.
It is a powerful electric shaver that uses Syncronic™ technology to vibrate the blade 40,000 times per minute.
There is an extra cutting blade in the shaving head, which ensures that the razor reaches all hairs, even those growing in different directions. It performs consistently for all hair types.
Users have noted that the blades cut through stubble even if you haven't shaved in a few days, so it adds convenience for infrequent shavers and lessens the need for a beard trimmer.
Not only does the razor head tilt, but each cutting blade tilts within the head as well, ensuring that they are always in contact with your skin despite your facial curves and contours.
You can lock the razor head into one of five different angle settings with a gripped slide on the front of the unit.
With this razor, you will get a comfortable, versatile, close shave with no skin irritation or razor burn.
The shaver is nicely weighted, fully cordless, and completely waterproof with a handle that provides great grip so it won't slip from your hand if you are using it in the shower.
On the front of the shaver, there is a light-up LED screen that indicates battery and cleaning needs.
Travel is easy with the Braun Series 9 because it can be used in any voltage from 100v to 240v. The travel case has an air vent so you can store the razor when it is still damp without having to worry about mold or mildew.
There is also a travel lock feature that is indicated on the LED screen. This prevents the shaver from turning on and running through battery when you are on the go.
One of the best features of the Braun Series 9 is that it comes fully equipped with a cleaning and charging system.
After use, simply place the shaver on the unit and it will automatically cleanse from one of five cleaning settings, charge it to full power, and lubricate the inner parts of the razor, so it feels brand new.
It also has a built-in fan system so it will automatically dry the shaver after each cleaning.
With this 100% hypoallergenic cleaning system, you will never have to worry about skin irritation or infections from bacteria buildup in the shaver.
If you choose to clean your razor manually every once in awhile, the head easily pops off, and it can be rinsed in the sink.
The Braun Series 9 is equipped with a lithium-ion battery that provides 50 minutes of shaving after a 60-minute charge.
There is also a quick 5-minute charge feature that will give you enough battery for one shave if you are in a rush.
The LED display will indicate when the shaver needs charging and will show how much it has charged while it is plugged in.
Although this is one of the best electric razors available, there are a few downfalls.
First, it is pricey. Although you pay more for a high-quality product, some users have argued that there are more affordable models that provide an equally high-quality shave.
Also, the cleaning unit is a great feature, but it requires Braun Clean and Renew cartridges that must be replaced every few months, adding to the cost of owning this razor.
If your power outlet is a bit farther away from where you want the cleaning and charging unit to be plugged in, this might not be the best electric razor for you because the cord is much shorter than other models.
The Braun Series 9 is a thicker razor, which can lead to difficulties with wrist control. However, this depends on personal preference because some users prefer a thicker razor handle.
It looks very polished and shiny right out of the box, but the chrome material attracts fingerprints and watermarks, so it doesn't look that nice forever.
Finally, the razor doesn't come pre-charged, so it is not shave-ready.
To sum it all up, there is no perfect razor. However, The Braun Series 9 comes very close. Despite a few shortcomings, it is a wonderful product that provides a close shave.
- Cleaning and charging unit
- Waterproof
- Sleek look
- Great for travel
- Close shave
- Flexible and versatile
- Lithium-Ion battery
- Five angle settings
- Extra blade on razor head
- Cordless
- LED screen
- Great grip

- Attracts imperfections
Panasonic ES-LV81-K – Best Quality Electric Shaver
Panasonic products are high quality and expertly crafted in Japan.
The Panasonic ES-LV81-K is a traditional foil style, cordless, electric razor that is considered one of the best on the market for a comfortable, close shave.
It comes with the shaver, a separate cleaning and charging unit, a travel case, and an AC adapter.
This shaver looks and feels luxurious since it is made from stain-resistant brushed metal, rather than chrome plastic. The smooth black finish makes it an aesthetically pleasing, durable, functional grooming tool.
The Shave
This shaver's claim to fame is that it is the world's first electric shaving tool to employ five blades for a closer, more efficient shave.
Ultra-thin foil blades are made from high-quality stainless steel and are at the optimal angle of 30 degrees to ensure a speedy shave and great coverage.
The flexible shaving head pivots and is powered by a 14,000 CPM motor, which helps to deliver one of the fastest shaves possible with no pulling or tugging.
There are three different foils: The LifeTech, which cuts hair stuck flat to the face, the finishing foil, which gets hairs that may have been missed by other foils, and the slit foil, which gets those tricky long hairs that other shavers can't grasp.
This shaver delivers a consistent, comfortable shave with no missed spots, ingrown hairs, or skin irritation.
Additionally, many users reported that with this shaver, their 5 o'clock shadow showed up much later than with other electric shavers on the market.
This electric shaver employs a pop-up trimmer, making it easy to trim sideburns and mustaches precisely.
An LED screen lights up to indicate when the unit needs charging and cleaning.
There is also a travel lock to ensure that your shaver will not turn on in your bag and run through its battery life while you are traveling.
This electric shaver is 100% waterproof and works fantastically for a shower shave as well as a dry shave.
The Panasonic LV81-K comes with a unique cleaning and charging unit that automatically cleans and charges the razor.
There are several cleaning settings, including a sonic vibration mode to give your shaver a quick cleanse rather than a full cleaning.
It uses cleaning cartridges that contain an alcohol-free cleanser, which ensures no harm or irritation to your skin.
Maintenance is made easy with this unit. The outer foil and inner blade only need to be replaced once a year.
This shaver features a lithium-ion battery, which only takes an hour to charge and provides 45 minutes of shaving time from a full battery.
It can be charged when plugged into the cleaning and charging unit, but it also comes with an adapter, so that you can plug the shaver into the wall.
This adapter makes the razor extremely convenient for travel because it works with any voltage between 100v and 240v.
Additionally, the cord is 6 feet long, so it can be plugged in anywhere and the shaver will still be accessible.
The shaver has a larger blade area than many other models, which some users don't like. However, this depends on personal preference and many users prefer a larger blade area.
It also makes much more noise than many other electric shavers.
The travel case that comes with the shaver is convenient, but it is soft and doesn't provide much protection.
This is an expensive razor, so naturally, some users argue that cheaper models are a better value. However, for men who are willing to spend extra money for an amazing product, this shaver is a great choice.
Overall, despite the few downfalls, this is a fantastic razor that receives extremely positive reviews across the board.

Philips Norelco S9721/87 – Best High-End Electric Razor
Philips Norelco is a luxury brand that produces high-end grooming tools. The Norelco S9721/87 has some incredible extra features that you won't find with any other razor.
It is a waterproof, cordless shaver with a beautiful black finish and a matching cleaning and charging unit.
In the box you get the shaver, the cleaning and charging unit, a starter cleaning cartridge, an add-on precision trimmer, a power cord, and a travel case.
The Shave
This shaver promises to get 30% closer to your skin than any other razor, providing the closest, smoothest shave. Although this is an intimidating promise, users have consistently deemed it to be true.
It has three shaving heads that allow the razor to work quickly and deliver an efficient shave. Each head works separately and can move in 7 different directions to follow the curves of your face smoothly and ensure that no hair goes uncut.
Each head has high-quality V-track precision blades that won't tug or pull.
It is a versatile razor with three different speed settings. The slow setting is great for sensitive skin, the medium setting provides a very thorough shave, and the fast setting is ideal if you are in a rush and want optimal speed.
The Norelco S9721/87 has a motion-activated user interface that lights up and indicates when the unit needs charging or cleaning. It also indicates when the travel lock is on and when the head needs to be replaced.
There is a detachable precision trimmer that can be easily snapped on for precise trimming of mustaches and sideburns.
A travel case is provided that has a ventilation chamber so you can store the shaver immediately after use, even while it is still damp.
Maintenance is a breeze with this trimmer because the cleaning and charging unit does all of the work for you!
Simply set the shaver into the unit and it will automatically clean the shaver with such vigor that manual rinsing is never required.
The cleaning and charging unit uses alcohol-free conditioning pads so you will never have to worry about skin irritation from harmful chemicals.
It also lubricates the inner workings of the shaver, so it feels brand new after each cleaning session.
The V-track precision blades are self-sharpening and won't dull over time. They are durable and made to last.
This shaver is powered by a lithium-ion battery. It will deliver 50 minutes of shaving time after reaching a full charge from being plugged into the cleaning and charging unit for one hour.
If you are in a rush and have forgotten to charge your shaver, there is a 5-minute charging feature that will you give the battery enough juice for one quick shave.
Although this shaver is fantastic, it does have some downfalls, just like any product.
It is one of the most expensive shavers available, so if you are on a budget, you can probably find a high-quality shaver for a much lower price.
Some users have noted that they have to do several passes in areas where hair is growing in different directions. Unlike many other shavers on the market, the Norelco S9721/87 does not have specific features to avoid this issue.
The cleaning and charging unit is fantastic, but it is also bulkier than units included with similar models and may take up excessive space on your bathroom counter.
It also cannot be used while plugged into the wall, so don't forget to charge it after using it!
In summary, this is a wonderful shaver with unique features and fantastic reviews from users. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for, and this shaver delivers.

Remington F5-5800 – Best Basic Electric Shaver
Remington creates great shaving products at an affordable price.
While the F5-5800 doesn't have many frills or special features, it gets the job done and provides a close, clean shave.
It is completely waterproof, extremely light to hold, and has a sleek black and charcoal finish.
This is a great electric shaver if you don't want to break the bank but still want a high-quality shave.
The Shave
The F5-5800 is built with Pivot and Flex technology, which ensures that the blades curve around the contours of your face without missing a single hair.
Surgical-grade steel blades require fewer passes, making for a quick and consistent shave.
It also features Interceptor Shaving Technology, meaning the trimmer is placed between the shave heads to snip the longer hairs that aren't easily guided through the foil holes.
This makes it a great shaving tool for infrequent shavers because it can handle more stubble. Users agree that it provides a great shave, even after three days without shaving.
This shaver features a pop-up trimmer to aid in shaping mustaches and sideburns.
The LED screen informs you when it needs to be charged.
It is also great for travel and can be used with any voltage between 100v and 240v.
Simply rinse the shaver in the sink to clean the blades.
Maintenance is easy because the high-quality metal blades are resistant to rust and corrosion.
Add a few drops of oil periodically to keep the unit running smoothly through the years.
A lithium-ion battery allows for 60 minutes of shaving time from one 2-hour charge.
If you forget to charge the shaver, it can be used while plugged into the wall and the charger has a long cord for added convenience.
The F5-5800 is a very basic razor with no separate cleaning and charging station like other high-end models.
It takes about 2 hours to achieve a full charge while many other models only take an hour.
It is also a lighter shaver, which some users complain makes it feel less durable and more flimsy.
However, despite its lack of fancy extras, it delivers a great shave. You won't find an electric shaver that works this well at such a value price.
- Affordable

Braun CoolTec – Best Electric Shaver for Sensitive Skin
As mentioned earlier, Braun is a world-renowned produced of shaving products, and the Braun CoolTec is one of their most innovative models yet.
It is arguably the most technologically advanced electric shaver ever created because it is the world's first shaver with active cooling technology.
The ThermoElectric Cooling system, which was formerly used in the construction of spacecrafts, is ideal for men with sensitive skin.
This innovative, waterproof, cordless shaver has a futuristic look with a gray casing and a blue band around the head of the shaver.
In the box, you get the shaver, the Clean & Renew system, a starter cleaning cartridge, a travel case, and a cleaning brush.
The Shave
The Braun CoolTec employs a three-stage cutting system that ensures a close, smooth shave.
SensoBlade Technology gives the shaver the flexibility to glide over facial contours and trap hairs growing in all different directions.
Virtually no irritation or razor burn occurs when using this razor because of the cooling technology and the high-quality blades.
As you shave, this razor cools your skin with an internal aluminum cooling bar that condenses moisture from your skin on the bar to minimize warmth.
This technology minimizes redness, irritation, burning, and excessive heat that many men with sensitive skin experience while using other electric shavers
Additionally, the cooling technology will leave your face feeling smooth, soft, cool, and refreshed.
It also features an LED display which indicates when the shaver needs to be charged or clean.
There is a separate trimmer for precise trimming of beards and mustaches.
The Braun CoolTec comes with a separate Clean & Renew cleaning and charging unit, which makes maintenance easy.
Place the shaver on the unit and it will fully clean it, lubricate its inner working, and fully charge it.
If you want to clean the shaver manually between full cleanings, it comes with a handy cleaning brush and the shaver can be rinsed in the sink.
The lithium-ion battery will charge the shaver in an hour, and a full battery will provide 45 minutes of shaving.
A full battery will also deliver 15 minutes of the cooling feature.
Although the cooling technology is impressive, on a full charge, only 15 minutes of this feature are available. This won't bother users who always remember to charge their shaver, but it is inconvenient that the battery life is so short.
If you like to use shaving gels, foams, creams, or lotions with your electric shaver, this is not the shaver for you. Any shaving additives are incompatible with the cooling technology of the razor and the fluid in the cleaning cartridges.
The replaceable cleaning cartridges are expensive and add to the price of this expensive product.
To sum it up, this is an impressively advanced piece of shaving technology. If you have sensitive, irritation-prone skin, it is worth the splurge!
- Cooling technology
- SensoBlade technology
- Clean & Renew system
- Waterproof
- Cordless
- Three-stage cutting system
- Travel case
- LED screen
- Expensive
- Short battery life
- No shaving cream
- Pricey cleaning cartridges

Over 2.5 million Syrians had sought refuge in Turkey by the end of 2015.
The situation for Syrian refugees living in Turkey remains extremely difficult: the vast majority are living in poor conditions in urban slums, with few work opportunities and limited access to medical care. Since the Syrian conflict started in 2011, more than 67,000 Syrian children have been born in Turkey.
In June, MSF was granted authorisation by the Turkish authorities to carry out medical and humanitarian activities for the growing number of refugees in the country.
Working on the Syrian-Turkish border
In Hatay, in collaboration with the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (known by its French acronym, UOSSM), MSF carries out reconstructive surgery missions. It also supports the mental health clinic run by the UOSSM.
In Kilis, MSF works with the Helsinki Citizens' Assembly, whose clinic provides basic healthcare, including mental health services, to Syrian refugees. The clinic conducted 35,636 outpatient and 10,508 antenatal and postnatal consultations in 2015.
In late December, in partnership with Physicians Across Continents (PAC), MSF opened a new facility in Gaziantep offering free healthcare to Syrian women and children. A Syrian team of gynaecologists and midwives provides antenatal and postnatal care, family planning services and gynaecology consultations; PAC covers paediatric care. MSF had already treated 117 patients between the opening of the facility on 21 December and the end of the year. The clinic has the capacity to carry out 2,000 reproductive health consultations per month. Deliveries and more complicated cases are referred to a local Turkish hospital.
Sanliurfa province
MSF continued to support partner organisation Hayata Destek (Support to Life) in the implementation of a mental healthcare programme for Syrian refugees. In May, a water and sanitation project was completed in Suruç, providing latrines, showers and water for refugees from Kobanê, Syria, who had been living in temporary camps since September 2014. From June to September in Akçakale, in collaboration with Hayata Destek, MSF distributed food and hygiene items to 20,000 refugees displaced from Tal Abyad in Syria. MSF also supported an International Blue Crescent Relief and Development Foundation mental healthcare centre in Akçakale, treating Syrian refugees.

Brazilian legend Ronaldo could be on the verge of a move to Manchester City, with the
The 31-year-old free agent is currently recovering from injury after he severed a tendon in his knee playing for Milan against Livorno in February.
After a successful operation in Paris, it was revealed that he would be out of action for at least nine months. Ronaldo's rehabilitation is said to be going well, and well ahead of schedule, but after his contract at Milan expired at the end of June, the Italian club refused to offer him a new deal.
Man. City is looking for a big international name, for commercial reasons, and there are few bigger in the game than Ronaldo, who is a three-time FIFA World Player of the Year and the top scorer in the history of the World Cup.
City's executive chairman Garry Cook appeared to admit an imminent move for Ronaldo when he told the
"I've got to change the culture here. Today you can grow quicker than it took Manchester United. We just need a superstar. China and India are gagging for football content to watch and we're going to tell them that City is their great content. We are a global franchise entity. We told [manager] Mark Hughes not to come here if he thought we didn't need a superstar."
Man. City failed earlier this summer in their bid for one superstar -- Ronaldinho. Now it could succeed in a move for his compatriot and former namesake Ronaldo.

I happen to agree with most of the article. We did need change. Over the past several years, we have seen and heard of things happening in the organization, that I believe have a lot to do with how this team has played. It was a mistake to let Williams go. It was just a dirty low down move, what they did to Richards. And last season, Sutter, more than once threw Brown under the bus publicly, then shamefully stripped him from Captain. Trading Budaj one day after Quick returned is just another low down dirty move. Maybe now, the players can concentrate on actually playing the game, instead of it hanging over their heads, wondering if they're next. There needs to be some loyalty between management and the team.
Change was Needed, but Lombardi and Sutter Still Deserve Our Respect
- Updated: April 11, 2017
Sadly I saw this coming. I heard about it first from a podcast appearance from the "Mayor" John Hoven of MayorsManor.com about a month ago when he stated that the Kings' organization were going to make "BIG" changes in the off-season. More specifically, head coach Darryl Sutter and/or long team general manager and team president Dean Lombardi were going to be let go. After hearing this, I raced to contact my trusted sources from within the organization to see if there was any weight to what Hoven had just said, after all, Hoven has been wrong before in the past, (like when he guaranteed that Lombardi was going to buy out Mike Richards' contract with an amnesty buyout, (which means that any player's contract could be bought out without any recapturing, interference or fines from the NHL and NHLPA), before it expired on August 31, 2014. As we all know Lombardi didn't do it and he kept Richards on the team. So maybe, just maybe Hoven was going to be wrong again. After talking to my sources, they told me the exact same thing that Mr. Hoven did. The Kings were going to go "nuclear" by blowing up the Lombardi, Sutter regime. Considering that my sources are truly trusted ones, I even talked about this being a possibility during my guest appearance on the latest Vegas Hockey Podcast just a few days ago on Saturday April 8th, (I will add a link to the show at the bottom of the article. I make my appearance around the 32 minute mark). And as Hoven and my sources correctly predicted, last night, AEG, (the ownership group that owns the Kings), officially announced that Sutter and Lombardi had been relieved of their duties. Assistant GM and former LA Kings' Captain Rob Blake was promoted to be the new GM, while Mike Futa would become his assistant GM, and GM of the Kings' AHL affiliate Ontario Reign. Luc Robitaille would take over as Team President, while continuing to maintain his previous role as the LA Kings' President of business operations.
Still, even though many of us had seen the signs, heard the rumors and knew the full situation well enough to know that this was indeed going to happen, or at least one of them were going to be released, as a die-hard Los Angeles Kings' fan, who had just made his 30th anniversary as a Kings' fan the other day, and had just talked about it on the Vegas Hockey Podcast, the news of Sutter AND Lombardi both being let go was still a shock to me and a well placed kick to my teeth. Lombardi and Sutter were instrumental in making the Kings' Stanley Cup Champions, not once, but on two occasions, and we all celebrated winning those Cups victories as if it was going to be our last day on Earth. Both men also broke franchise records, as not only is Sutter the most successful coach in the Kingdom's history, with 2 Stanley Cup victories, 3 straight Western Conference appearances, (winning two of them), coached a season that broke a long time franchise record of achieving 48 regular season wins in 2015-2016, and with the most victories by a Kings' coach in the regular season with 225 wins in 425 games, and 42 playoff wins. Lombardi finishes his tenure in LA as the winningest GM in franchise history with 425 regular season victories and 46 playoff victories, (trust me, no one in Kings' history even comes close to reaching the numbers, stats and accomplishments that Lombardi and Sutter were able to pull off. For example, the second coach with the most playoff wins for the Kings was Barry Melrose and he had only 9, and led the Kings to the playoffs only once).
So how did we get here in this mess and where and when did everything start to go wrong for both of them? Well sadly, post 2014 Cup victory, there have been many mistakes, and while I was writing this article about their release, I just couldn't stop thinking about the classic Joy Division song, "Love Will There Us Apart," which was written by their lead singer Ian Curtis, who was writing about his wife and their failing marriage. Shortly after the band became famous during the early 1980's with the "Post-Punk/New Wave" movement of the time, and the separation with his wife, Curtis had committed suicide due to the deep depression and the epileptic attacks he was suffering with. Now Curtis' death of course is worse than anything in regards to sports. I'm not trying to compare the two, I'm just saying that some of the lyrics that he wrote in that classic and haunting song, fits in perfectly with what the Kings' organization and us fans are experiencing right now. Here's an example,
When routine bites hard, (Sutter being stubborn as ever and not willing to adapt to newer systems),
And ambitions are low, (Kings' players tuning out Sutter completely),
And resentment rides high, (missing the playoffs twice in two out of three seasons, and a first round, 5 game loss against the Sharks),
But emotions won't grow, (no more success for us fans to celebrate),
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads, (Lombardi and Sutter getting let go),
Love, love will tear us apart again, (Lombardi was TOO loyal to Sutter and certain players and it hurt the team),
You cry out in your sleep, (like we do as Kings' fans in frustration),
All my failings exposed, (Sutter and Lombardi since the summer of 2014),
And there's a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold, (the depleting Andrej Sekera and Milan Lucic trades),
How could something so good, (the Kings from 2009-10 to 2013-14),
Just not function no more, (the Kings from 2014-15 to the present day),
Love, love will tear us apart again. (And it did).
Now I paraphrased some of the Lyrics there at the end but you get the picture. The "love will tear us apart" song perfectly describes Lombardi's over emotional reliance of being loyal to players that were on the decline, such as Mike Richards, Matt Greene and Dustin Brown, and rewarding players for their past contributions with some absurd contracts, such as with Brown, Gaborik and Greene, that ended up hurting the team overall by hitting their heads on the salary cap ceiling, instead of giving them contracts for their future contributions to the team, (which hasn't been much, if not nothing at all). Because of that, the Kings are stuck in salary cap hell.
This is what President and CEO of AEG, the parent company that owns the Kings, Dan Beckerman had to say about letting Lombardi and Sutter go;
"This was an extremely difficult decision and was made with an enormous amount of consideration for what we have accomplished in our past. But the present and future of our organization is the highest priority. Words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation for what Dean and Darryl have accomplished for the Kings franchise. They built this team and helped lead us to two Stanley Cup championships and will forever be remembered as all-time greats in Kings history. But with that level of accomplishment comes high expectations and we have not met those expectations for the last three seasons. With the core players we have in place, we should be contending each year for the Stanley Cup. Our failure to meet these goals has led us to this change."
Beckerman is right, but in my own personal opinion, and if some of you disagree with me, that's fine and I respect that, but I had something else in mind. While co-hosting LA Kings Road Talk Radio, I mentioned that every coach has an expiry date, and sadly Sutter had finally reached his. The evidence had been obvious throughout the last 3 seasons that the player's were tuning him out, (remember back in 2015 when the players decided to have a team meeting without informing coach Sutter and they barricaded the door to the locker room just so he couldn't enter. That was already a red flag right there about what was truly going on behind the scenes). A change indeed needed to happen as Sutter's "40 seconds of hell, puck possession, balls out crashing and banging and cycling the puck while also heavily relying on a dump and chase system," wasn't effective anymore, as the other teams finally figured out a way to stop and counter Sutter's methods. Sutter needed to adapt and evolve the system to help re-counter the other teams, but he stubbornly failed to do so, so I fully understand that the players needed a fresh voice behind the bench and a new system to follow and play with, and a new coach was needed, but I thought Lombardi should have been given at least another year, with that fresh new head coach, to try to right this sinking ship. Of course he helped this team get into this mess in the first place, but with his experience, and mad scientist like legal mind, I feel he should have been giving a chance to correct his mistakes. Unfortunately, he was let go too and Rob Blake and Mike Futa do not have the proper experience of fixing a mess of this magnitude. Remember, apprenticing is a hell of a lot of a different beast from actually doing the job as a general manager in the NHL. I'm not saying that Blake is going to fail at it, I'm just saying he's being thrown into the lion's den as a rookie GM in a complicated situation and will have to learn with a full trial by fire. In other words, he's going to need all the help that he can get. Yes, Lombardi is responsible for most of this mess, but he isn't at fault for all of it. He wasn't at fault with what happened to Slava Voynov, or that Richards couldn't keep his promises to Lombardi that we was going to work hard and improve, OR that Lucic wasn't going to re-sign with the Kings, even though "Looch" had full knowledge of the Kings' dire salary cap situation, and was boasting loud and clear, for all to hear, all season long that he and his family loved living in LA and he wanted to retire there. Oh, he also said that it wasn't about the money and why would he test out free agency when he already knew where he wanted to stay? In the end, Lucic totally left for the money and for term, even turning down Lombardi when he offered him BOTH just hours before the free agency market opened up. Lucic, as great as he played as a King and as kind as he was to us fans, was full of shit. He had no intention of staying. And we were all fooled by that fool, including Dean.
Remember that today we are looking at things with complete 20/20 vision and with hindsight, but at the time, certain deals had to be made, well to be fair, only some of them, but let's look at all the decisions that Lombardi had made since that 2014 Cup win, with hindsight or not, that led to his current downfall.
- He didn't buy out Mike Richards, free of charge during the summer of 2014 with an amnesty buyout. Richards bombed the following season, was dropped to the minors and then had his contract terminated. Meaning the Kings will still have Richards on their books and against their cap until the year 4027 or something. Pretty much around the time when the Apes from "Planet of the Apes" finally evolve and become the dominant species on Earth after enslaving us humans. Good times. In Lombardi's defense, Richards was a leader and a winner for most of his junior and NHL career, (2003 Memorial Cup Champion as Captain of the Kitchener Rangers, a 2005 World Junior Gold Medalist as Captain on a team that included Sidney Crosby, Patrice Bergeron, Jeff Carter, Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Brent Seabrook and Dion Phaneuf, and was a part of Team Canada's best line with Jonathan Toews and Rick Nash in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, helping them win the Gold Medal. He also led the Philadelphia Flyers to the 2010 Stanley Cup final as Captain and I find it very interesting and even comically that so many people have forgotten these facts. Short term memories indeed. Richards was a major reason WHY the Kings won their first Cup in 2012 to begin with, as he helped change the culture within the locker room by teaching this young Kings' team how to become competitive and hungry. He was also still effective during the 2013 season before suffering a concussion during those playoffs. After the Kings had just won their second Cup in 2014, Lombardi wanted to "keep the band together," and who could blame him? So Richards, who now we can see with our 20/20 hindsight glasses was on a major decline, wasn't moved out. Hey, for all we know, maybe Richards just had a bad year? Right? After all, he was still young enough to bounce back into form. Unfortunately, that didn't happen at all during the 2014-15 season, and it became a complete disaster that led to a very bitter, emotional and nasty divorce between Lombardi and Richards, with Richards now completely out of the NHL today. (It also didn't help Richards' case that he got caught trying to cross into the Canadian border with non prescribed pain killers). Even the Washington Capitals, who signed Richards afterwards for a cheap $1 million contract for 1 year, with no pressure being placed on him while centering their fourth line, didn't even want to bring him back with another cheap 1 year, $1 million contract because of how poorly he played for them.
- Lombardi gave Dustin Brown, (AAV of $5.75 until 2022), Marian Gaborik, (AAV of $4.875 'til 2021), and Matt Greene, (a four-year contract with an AAV of $2.5), for a player whose body was/is breaking down after years of physical play and is probably going to retire this summer because of it), Dean simply gave them too much money and term that ended up handcuffing the Kings from making any more major roster changes due to almost maxing out their cap space. Lombardi can't even trade these players away because their contracts are too expensive and risky for any other NHL team to take on.
- Lombardi let too many known leaders of the team go by not re-signing with them, especially one in particular. I understand why Lombardi didn't re-sign Willie Mitchell. He was 37 at the time, and was one injury away from ending his career. Remember that Mitchell missed the entire 2013 season due to issues with his knees, and also missed a full year when he played with Vancouver. In the end, Mitchell was able to play for another year and a half as Captain of the Florida Panthers. Which isn't saying much as Florida didn't play that aggressive and physical style that he did with the Kings, so it was very possible that if he had stayed with the Kings, he possibly could've got hurt a lot sooner than he did with Florida, as sadly Mitchell's career did end up ending due to a concussion injury. I also get how Jarret Stoll was declining with his contributions. Once a face-off and penalty kill expert, his game had greatly slipped from what it was even just two years before 2015. It also didn't help that Stoll was arrested for trying to enter a famous night club with drugs in his pocket. (DOH!) But the one that really hurt the Kings, was when they decided to NOT re-sign Justin Williams. Now that was a clutch player and a respected leader that was impossible to replace. What hurts even more was that Williams didn't even sign with the Capitals for that much money anyway. It was a contract that the Kings could have totally afforded to give him, even with their salary cap implications at that time, but for whatever reason, they didn't and the team suffered for it. Bad move Dean.
- The Andrej Sekera and Milan Lucic trades. Sekera was brought in because of the whole "Voynov" situation, but this didn't work out at all. Sekera only played a handful of games before getting injured and missing out for the rest of the season. Oh and then he signed with Edmonton during the summer. So really the Kings gave up a conditional first round pick and prospect Roland McKeown for a 16 game rental player. Lucic was brought to LA because he seemed (and was) a natural fit to Sutter's system, but the Kings gave up WAY too much for him by not just trading Martin Jones to the Bruins, but also prospect and Calder Cup winning defensive prospect Colin Miller and another first round draft pick. One that was for 13th overall in a stacked entry draft. Now it was no secret that the Shark's GM Doug Wilson was going to offer Jones a very expensive offer sheet, knowing full well that the Kings were too strapped by the cap to properly match it and keep Jones. Plus, Jones made it no secret that he wanted to be a number 1 goalie, (can't blame him for that), but knew that opportunity wasn't going to happen in LA with Jonathan Quick still in his prime. So Jones was as good as gone anyway, (but I definitely didn't expect Boston to flip Jones to San Jose! Now that also was a powerful kick to the teeth). But was trading away the talented and speedy Miller and another first rounder necessary for this trade to happen? It could have, and should have been a one on one trade between Lucic and Jones. Lombardi obviously undervalued Jones' worth hence giving up way more than he needed to. Oh and Lucic joined Sekera by joining the Oilers in the off-season. So in the end, Lombardi gave up top prospects which depleted the Kings' pipeline and created two straight years without a first round draft pick to help restore the pipeline, for two players that turned out to be nothing but rentals. Ouch.
- Stripping the Captaincy from Dustin Brown. As bad as Dustin had been playing for the last 3 seasons, (but to be fair, this season was actually Brown's best since 2012, unless you count the half season of 2013 where Brown was projected to reach 40 goals if it had been a full 82 game season, (stupid strike!) Now I have no problem with Anze Kopitar becoming the Captain of the Kings. In my mind, I had always thought that "Kopi" was going to be the natural successor to the captaincy, but AFTER Brown was no longer with the team. If Brown had volunteered to give up the "C" for Kopitar, (much like how Dave Taylor gave up his "C" for Wayne Gretzky back in 1989), than that's different. If Brown had been traded or let go, and then they gave "Kopi" the "C", than that's a different story as well. Sadly, neither was the case. Instead Lombardi completely fumbled the captaincy transition by blindsiding Brown completely and unfairly, while embarrassing and insulting a player that had been nothing but a loyal soldier and warrior for this Kings' organization. We're not talking about like what happened with Joe Thornton or Patrick Marleau in San Jose. We're taking about Dustin Brown, who as Captain lead the Kings' franchise to TWO Stanley Cup victories, (the second American born player to captain a team to the Cup as Derian Hatcher was the first, but Brown was the first ever American born player to do it twice!) Not even legends like Wayne Gretzky, Luc Robitaille, Rob Blake, Dave Taylor or even Bob Pulford and Mattias Norstrom were able to pull that off. And what was the thanks that Brown got for all his years of service, he got embarrassed in front of the entire hockey world for no good reason, (sorry, playing poorly for a couple of seasons is NOT a proper reason to strip someone of the "C". That just sends a bad message to the locker room, and it did). Here in Canada, getting stripped of the "C" is the most shameful, heart breaking and insulting move that could happen to a hockey player. Unlike Thornton and Marleau in San Jose, Dustin Brown did NOT deserve that. In an ironic twist of fate, as Captain, Kopitar just suffered his worst season ever, while Brown had his best one in 5 years. Go Figure. If Lombardi and Sutter wanted to give Kopitar the "C", I'm pretty sure they could have found a way and done so in a much less dramatic, sloppy and offensive way. Just shameful.
Those are just some examples, but here's my main point. Even though Lombardi made some serious blunders since 2014, before that we was a complete genius, and made moves that built a Kings' team that won the Cup twice and made the Western Conference final in 3 straight seasons. Before that, the Kings had won NO Cups and only made the Conference and Stanley Cup final once each, both way back in 1993. Here are some great moves that Lombardi DID make, which is why Kings' fans need to show him respect, even now when he has hit rock bottom.
- Lombardi drafted Drew Doughty, Tyler Toffoli, Tanner Pearson, Alec Martinez, Slava Voynov, Trevor Lewis, Dwight King, Martin Jones, Kyle Clifford and signed free agents Willie Mitchell, Rob Scuderi and Jake Muzzin, who all heavily contributed to the Kings' championship success.
- He traded Patrick O'Sullivan and a second round draft pick for "Mr. Game 7" Justin Williams, (what a steal and a half). Traded Lubomir Visnovsky for both Jarret Stoll and Matt Greene, (pure highway robbery). Traded Wayne Simmonds, (who is a star and still loved in the Kingdom), Brayden Schenn and a draft pick for Mike Richards. Even though Simmonds has become an All-Star today, I'd still make that trade 100 times out of 100. No Richards trade, means no 2012 Cup. No 2012 Cup means no 2014 Cup. Period. (Though, I would definitely be up for a trade today that would bring Simmonds back! Hey, a fan can dream right?). Oh and let's not forget that Lombardi acquired Jack Johnson from Carolina, and then flipped him years later for some guy named … JEFF "FREAKING" CARTER!!! And Dean also traded Matt Frattin (remember him?) for Marian Gaborik, who ended up leading the playoffs that year with 14 goals, and was the one who scored against the Rangers in game 5 of the Stanley Cup final to tie the game, which led to Alec Martinez' (as mentioned, was drafted by Dean), historic, double overtime, Stanley Cup winning goal! (And the goal "Amart" scored in OT to eliminate the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2014 Western Conference final in Chicago, in game 7 wasn't too shabby at all either!) Honorable mentions also include, Dean bringing in Dustin Penner, who scored the OT winner against the (then) Phoenix Coyotes to advance the Kings into the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in 19 years, (Penner also scored the series winning goal for the Kings that eliminated the St. Louis Blues in the first round of the following year's playoffs as well), and Colin Fraser, who was a tough general on the 4th line, so tough that he once bled from both sides of one of his eyeballs and still played with all he had. And of course, we also got Robyn Regehr, who was past his prime, but became a strong and inspirational leader for the Kings during that 2014 run to the Cup. All of these moves, yes ALL of these moves resulting in the Kings finally becoming the KINGS of the hockey world.
- Lombardi hired Terry Murray to be the head coach of the Kings. Murray's biggest accomplishment was teaching these youngsters how to play defense. Which leads us to Lombardi then letting Murray go and bringing in Darryl Sutter, who taught the team how to compete and win.
So be as it may, whether you and I, or everyone, or no one, agrees or disagrees with the Kings' decision to let go of Lombardi and Sutter, they still deserve our respect. They both made our dreams of FINALLY winning the Stanley Cup come true, and damn it, they did it twice! This is indeed an end of an era, and probably the official end of the Kings' "Golden Era," and it is a sad ending without a doubt. But everyone out there reading this, despite all the mistakes, head scratching ideas and trades, and poor results the Kings and us have been suffering with since 2014 thanks to some really poor decision-making by both Lombardi and Sutter, and yes I do agree that a change was desperately needed and the team needed to go in a different direction, let's just not start acting like some fans from other teams *cough* Toronto *cough* Boston *cough* Philadelphia *cough* by ignoring or "ret-conning" what Lombardi and Sutter truly accomplished for the Kings and us before that. Let's not start brow beating them and kicking them as they walk out of the Staples Center for the last time. That's something other douche bag fans from other teams would do. We are Los Angeles Kings' fans damn it and we should be setting a better example and raising the classy level higher than they do or how they possibly can. I myself, am forever grateful for everything they did for our team, and no firing or 3 year failings and mistakes is going to make me start disrespecting them, or make me feel differently about either one of them. No. I will forever be giving them high praise until my very last breath, because that is what they deserve and what they have earned. Darryl Sutter IS the greatest coach in LA Kings' history, and Dean Lombardi IS the greatest general manager in Kings' history, period! So let's not forget those facts and show them some respect.
Thank you Dean and thank you Darryl, for making the Kings champions and for giving us some of the most thrilling and greatest memories that we Kings' fans have always wanted and now can enjoy for the rest of our lives, proudly with a smile. Thank you and Hockey God bless.
Whomever the Kings decide on replacing Sutter with will definitely be interesting. Could it be associate coach John Stevens or assistant coach Davis Payne? Both already have NHL head coaching experience. How about Mike Stothers from the Ontario Reign, who is tough but also an inspiring motivator. Or do the Kings go outside of the Kingdom and bring someone else in like Patrick Roy, who is a winner in everything he does. He has won the Memorial Cup as head coach, GM, president, owner, and probably also as the water boy, organist, concession stand vendor and Zamboni driver for his QMJHL team. He even won the Jack Adams Trophy with Colorado, but the down side of Roy is that he is a complete control freak and that may clash with Rob Blake as it did with Joe Sakic in Colorado, (but wouldn't that become one hell of a story where Roy helped defeat us in the Stanley Cup final in 1993, only to return 24 years later to join us and help us regain the Stanley Cup! Oh man, I would love to write about that). So how about Lindy Ruff, who is an intelligent and successful coach and is going to be let go, (or maybe already has as of this writing) by the Dallas Stars? How about Ken Hitchcock, who has coached a team to the Stanley Cup, plus Olympic Gold Medals and a World Cup of Hockey, and has also won the Jack Adams Trophy, but he is tough and blunt like Sutter, and possibly could be burnt out after his exhausting years with St. Louis.
Well whoever it may be, we will welcome him with open arms and hope for the best.
Oh and by the way, can we at least keep Chris Sutter???
*Here is the link to my appearance on the April 8th edition of the Vegas Hockey Podcast, where I discuss the possibility of Sutter and Lombardi being let go, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/vegashockeypodcast/2017/04/08/playoff-preview-show

The ongoing life and times of a computer scientist in his quest for happiness and a good-looking paycheck ... and all the BS that follows.
Friday, October 25, 2002
Well here it is, almost time for class and I'm posting at the wrong time again. I'm meeting some friends at Gentle Ben's @ 2:00. God... I woke up late this morning, and then realized that I left my keys and my bag in my mom's car. Fortunately I had the bike chain, so I can still lock my bike up...but I think I may have a test in my mythology class...and I HAVE NOTHING TO STUDY WITH!!!! gack. Oh, good news...but old news now. My sister is staying for another two months. I guess I'll have a lot of time to visit with her. Good thing, too, considering just about everything I've wanted to do with her has fallen through. Oh well. On to destiny.

Heel, Boy! Would You Fall For Nine West USA's 'Husband Hunting' Shoes?
So, Nine West USA has a proposition for you—find a husband wearing their new 'Husband Hunting' heels! 'Starter Husband Hunting', it says─a confident strut in these numbers, a walk down the aisle later, it implies. They even have a checklist all figured out with a 'Mr Right' hot on the heels. This unusual branding leads us to wonder… would you fall feet-first for this campaign? To toe the line, or not to…
'Go get em' tiger. Whether you're looking for Mr Right, or Mr Right Now, we got a shoe for that', boldly states the latest Nine West campaign. Sounds closer to home than we think, right? But unless we actually do wake up in the morning and believe our shoes can clinch us a keeper, this campaign has a lot of rethinking to do!
Here are four Nine West ads from the Starter Husband Hunting campaign and what we think of them.
Ad 1
Shoes on the prowl, eh?! This is right up there with fair skin as a means to getting a guy. Things are already not going down too well.
Ad 2
Maybe we still need further coaxing? And there we have it—a ridiculous target board with arrows to ram the heel home. Even the arrows fail miserably to hit.
Ad 3
Then Nine West puts you through 'The Walk of Shame'—implying the day after a one-night stand with flip-flops jutting out of a bag.
Ad 4
Oh wait, how about the special occasion of misery… the 'First Day at Kindergarten'.
One angry Tweet sums it all up.
@NineWest How about promotion snaring shoes? Merger clinching shoes? Board meeting shoes? Too busy serving hubby and raising baby I guess!
"I'm comfortable that it will make noise and it will get attention, and my gut tells me that it's not offensive," says Erika Szychowski, senior vice-president of marketing for Nine West. But are you comfortable putting your feet into these strutting stereotypes?
Let's have a sole-to-soul, shall we? What do you think of this campaign by Nine West? Comment and let us know.

This report looks at a range of local employment and economic development issues in Saskatchewan and the Yukon, Canada, with a focus on indigenous peoples. The report provides a comparative framework to understand the role of the local level in contributing to more and better quality jobs, and practical recommendations to help federal, provincial/territorial, and local policy makers in Canada build effective and sustainable partnerships that join-up efforts across employment, training, and economic development policies. Co-ordinated policies can help workers find suitable jobs, while also stimulating entrepreneurship and productivity, which increases the quality of life and prosperity within a community as well as throughout the country.
The Netherlands should improve its policies to attract and retain highly skilled migrants in order to address labour shortages and strengthen its position as a knowledge-based economy, according to a new OECD report.
The Dutch labour migration system has undergone substantive changes in recent years. To induce a transition to more high-skilled migration, a programme based on salary thresholds has grown in volume while a programme based on work permits after a labour market test has shrunk. New programmes target international graduates either of Dutch educational institutions or of selected institutions abroad. Changes to immigration procedures have shifted responsibility to migrants' employers and have greatly reduced processing times. This review first examines the composition of labour migration to the Netherlands, in the context of present and expected demand in the Dutch labour market. Following a discussion of various programmes and procedures, the review assesses how labour migration contributes to the strategic development of sectors and to employment in regions. It then explores the determinants for the retention of high-skilled migrants and for the integration of international graduates into the Dutch labour market.
L'innovation technologique constante fait évoluer les marchés du travail dans le monde entier. Appréhender l'avenir de l'emploi à l'ère numérique implique de se détacher de la traditionnelle distinction entre secteurs manufacturier et non manufacturier.
This project is part of a series of rapid policy assessment projects on inclusive entrepreneurship policies and programmes that are conducted by the Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Programme of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in collaboration with the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion of the European Commission.
Despite unprecedented progress over the past century, gender gaps in the labour market persist throughout the emerging world and are accompanied by important skill gaps. Women tend to perform worse in STEM subjects, have lower financial literacy and business knowledge than men. The OECD Employment Outlook 2016 paints an up-to-date picture of gender gaps in 16 emerging economies and outlines a comprehensive set of policy recommendations.

Skill requirements are changing rapidly as a result of structural shifts. Workforce employability is essential to turn structural change into an opportunity for all. Education and training systems, labour markets, workers and workplaces will have to become more adaptable. A set of concrete actionable measures is proposed to improve the employability of each economy's workforce.
The OECD has undertaken various reviews of countries' public employement and HRM systems.
Strategic HR Management looks at the processes and tools used to ensure that the capacities of the government workforce are aligned to the mission and core strategic objectives of the government.The OECD looks at HRM holistically, including the processes in place to bring people into the civil service, develop their skills and knowledge, and allocate their talents to priorities.
