U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
A charge must be filed with EEOC within 180 days from the date of the alleged violation, in order to protect the charging party's rights.
This 180-day filing deadline may be extended to 300 days if the charge also is covered by a state or local anti-discrimination law.
These time limits do not apply to claims under the Equal Pay Act, because under that Act persons do not have to first file a charge with EEOC in order to have the right to go to court. However, since many EPA claims also raise Title VII sex discrimination issues, it may be advisable to file charges under both laws within the time limits indicated.
In the States of Alaska, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, an individual has 300 days from the date of alleged harm to file a charge with this office against an employer with 15 or more employees for discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, and/or disability. An individual also has 300 days from the date of alleged harm to file a charge with this office against an employer with 20 or more employees for discrimination based on age in these States.
Charges against employers of less than 15 employees (for race, color, national origin, sex, religion, and/or disability) or less than 20 employees (for age) must be filed with the appropriate state or local agency within the time limits prescribed by state or local laws. These time limits are:
To protect your legal rights, it is always best to contact EEOC promptly when discrimination is suspected.

Imagine you had someone in each (or most) cities in China who could make a reservation at a hostel or buy train tickets for you! Wouldn't it be great that you have a telephone number of a person who can go to the hospital with you in case of an emergency, or someone who can suggest what places to visit or which bus to take? Basically you have a network of friends all over China and if you need them you get in touch with them, if you don't need their help you do things on your own.
YiLongWei Friends make that possible; here is the list of YiLongWei Frinds: http://www.yilongwei.com/tips/ylwf_list.htm this list will expand even more as we sign up more students interested in meeting and helping foreign tourists in China.

* Kindergarten art, that is.
My five-year-old was looking on while I read the geology blog feed this morning, and was impressed by the images of Redoubt and Asama on Eruptions and The Volcanism Blog. So he responded with his own volcano art:
Those are two giant rivers of lava on each side of the volcano, and an extremely shallow sill feeding the eruption. And I think the magma chamber is sitting on top of a loosely packed gravel deposit. This is the first of four pictures, which illustrate show lightning strikes that penetrate into the mantle, a gigantic landslide (which somehow ends up on the opposite side of the volcano from its scarp), and a hurricane that eventually cools the lava.
This may be evidence that my child will grow up to work on a combined re-make of Dante's Peak, Volcano, and In the Path of a Killer Volcano.
(By the way... why does WGBH have a picture of Pu'u O'o on the cover of a movie about Pinatubo now? The original image was the right volcano, if I remember correctly. BTW, if anyone is looking for a good volcano movie to show in class, I recommend In the Path of a Killer Volcano, even with the wrong volcano on the cover. Real life is more dramatic than fiction in some cases.)

"In the Path of a Killer Volcano" has been a part of my Intro Geology, Environmental Geology, and even Petrology classes for as long as I've been teaching. Here's my Pinatubo assignment - pretty much unchanged since I originally wrote it.
For as long as I have owned copies of "In the Path of a Killer Volcano" (and I own two VHS copies and one DVD) the image of the lava fountain at Pu'u O'o has graced the cover. There's an image of Pinatubo on the back, but the front has always been Pu'u O'o. My earliest copy was purchased when I was a grad student at UW-Madison and had the original (unedited for sensitive high-schooler ears) audio track. Unfortunately this copy has become unplayable over the years due to heavy use. Both the second VHS copy and the more recently released DVD copy have a "butchered" soundtrack that silences all of the mildly strong language that (IMHO) was an important part of setting the context of realtime eruption prediction efforts. If anyone has a functional copy of the original VHS tape with the full audio track I'd be really interested in acquiring it.
At one point I also had a copy of the NOVA episode about Mount St. Helens, "Anatomy of a Volcano" (NOVA Season 8, Episode 16) but to my unending chagrin I seem to have lost or misplaced that copy. I'd REALLY like to get a copy of that if someone can help me out - it's probably one of the single most memorable NOVA episodes ever produced (right up there with "In the Path of a Killer Volcano") and probably the single most important NOVA episode that inspired me to get into geology in the first place. Most relevent to the current post, though, the producers began the scientific explanation of volcanic plumbing in the St. Helens episode with a kid's crayon drawing of a volcano.

Minor correction: The VHS versions both had the Pu'u O'o lava fountain on the cover. The new DVD has the June 12, 1991 blast cloud on the cover.

Kim, I love volcano art of all kinds, so thanks for sharing. Maybe he will be our next volcanologist!
Ron, thanks for your Pinatubo link. That eruption had special personal significance, so it's always nice to find out more.

The Northeastern Pennsylvania regional president for PNC Bank started giving regularly to the bank's political action committee around the same time the PAC started contributing more heavily to former state Senate Democratic Leader Robert J. Mellow's chief campaign committee, campaign finance records show.
A couple of years after that, PNC started getting a plethora of business from the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, where a statewide investigating grand jury says Mellow had a lot of influence over the awarding of contracts.
The PNC regional president, Peter J. Danchak, who was named to the post effective Jan. 1, 2001, gave little to politicians for most of that year and the next.
He gave $500 to Scranton native (now U.S. Sen.) Bob Casey's losing campaign for governor in 2002 and $200 in 2001 to attorney Mark Walsh's failed bid for Lackawanna County judge, according to online state campaign records.
Mellow's campaign finance records list no direct contributions large enough to report from Danchak or any other PNC official directly to Friends of Bob Mellow, the senator's main campaign committee. The minimum amount for reporting who contributed is more than $50 in aggregate in a reporting period.
Even though he didn't contribute directly to Mellow's campaign, Danchak did start giving regularly starting in October 2002 - $20 roughly every two weeks - to the bank's political action committee, now known as Bipartisan Voluntary Public Affairs Committee of the PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., usually PNC Bank PAC for short.
Danchak also contributed $200 in both 2007 and 2008 to the Democratic State Senate Campaign Committee, a committee that helps Democratic Senate candidates and was controlled by Mellow. Both men also served together on the board of directors of Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Between October 2002 and the end of 2009, Danchak contributed $2,880 to the bank's PAC. During the same period, the bank contributed $10,215 in money, golf gear and gifts to Mellow's golf tournament and other fundraising efforts by his PAC.
Before that period, the bank gave $70 to Friends of Bob Mellow in 2000 and another $70 earlier in 2002.
Danchak has not returned multiple messages left over the past two weeks.
Neither the bank nor Danchak is charged in the case.
The timing of the contributions is significant.
A March 13 grand jury presentment that charged Mellow with bid-rigging, commercial bribery, ethics law violations and other crimes states that Mellow was described as developing a close personal relationship starting in 2003 with an unnamed PNC executive. Two years later, PNC officials started looking to Mellow to arrange bond underwriting work for the state Turnpike Commission, where the senator had significant influence, according to the presentment.
Tony Lepore, Mellow's former chief of staff, testified that "Bob Mellow was exceptionally tight with one of the PNC regional presidents."
However, the rest of the presentment describes the PNC executive as a "regional vice president" without explanation of the apparent discrepancy and does not name him. The state attorney general's office refused to explain the discrepancy.
Although Danchak's title is regional president, it is not clear if he holds or held a vice president title, too. The state attorney general's office has also declined to comment on whether he is the PNC official who struck up a close personal friendship with Mellow. PNC officials have also refused to comment.
But Mellow and Lepore "intervened directly on their (PNC's) behalf to secure bond work for PNC," according to the presentment.
In his testimony to the grand jury, Lepore refers to the involvement of "one of the PNC regional presidents" in getting PNC turnpike bond work.
"Then, in 2005, you start seeing PNC Capital Markets Inc.," Lepore said. "They had gone to Bob Mellow about this time and said, 'Hey, Bob Mellow, we've never got (sic) any work from the turnpike ever. We're the largest bank in Pennsylvania.'"
"Bob Mellow was exceptionally tight with one of the PNC regional presidents ⦠(Mellow said) 'Go to the turnpike and get PNC some work,'" Lepore testified. "He used a little different language. Sure enough, you start seeing in 2005, PNC Bank for the first time pops up on this and then recurring. It starts getting bigger and bigger bumps from the turnpike."
The unnamed PNC executive introduced an employee of PNC's capital markets division to Mellow, and they met on Nov. 30, 2005, according to the presentment.
On June 22, 2006, PNC earned its first fee for underwriting bonds - $444,812.50. Between then and the end of 2010, when Mellow left office, PNC earned $2.26 million in bond underwriting fees.
Campaign contributions by the bank to Mellow's campaign are not directly mentioned in the presentment, but gifts are.
Between 2006 and 2010, PNC hosted Mellow and his friends at 10 New York Yankees games costing $3,084 and spent another $417 on dinners for the senator and others. PNC Capital Markets spent $7,082 at a New York steak house at an event honoring Mellow and meant to generate support for his 2010 bid for governor.
Mellow is charged with failing to report any of the bank's hospitality on his annual statements of financial interest. A date for his arraignment has not yet been set.
Mellow is serving a 16-month federal prison sentence after pleading guilty last year to a conspiracy charge that centered partly on the use of state employees for campaign work.

Katelyn Kidney, UMD swimming coach Cathy Motta, Bruce Aldrich, Coordinator of Toys for Tots in Bristol County, Morgan Cooper and Kasey Schell.
(Dartmouth, MA) - Cathy Motta won the raffle at her holiday party last week. But the real winner was Toys for Tots.
The head coach for the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's and women's swimming and diving teams, Motta was one of more than a hundred people from the Administrative and Fiscal Services Division at UMass Dartmouth who participated in a toy raffle at the division holiday gathering last Friday.
When the winning ticket for the special raffle was picked, Motta was holding the lucky ticket. Instead of winning a necktie or a gift certificate, Motta won the ability to name the charity where the more than 100 toys would be donated.
"I was so surprised to hear my name announced when they picked the winner that the first charity that came to my mind at Christmas time was Toys for Tots," said Motta, a resident of Fall River.
The collection of more than 100 toys gathered from the employees of the Administrative and Fiscal Services Division at UMass Dartmouth were delivered to the Somerset chapter of Toys for Tots in Indian Springs Plaza on Monday afternoon. According to the Bristol County Coordinator for Toys for Tots, Bruce Aldrich, the toys will be donated to worthy charities throughout the region.

Faith in Vermont: Where the Sidewalks End

 If you were to ask me now, almost two years since I moved to Vermont, what I miss most about the other places I've lived – the Virginia suburbs, Manhattan, the San Francisco Bay Area – I would answer: "Sidewalks."

 It's an answer that surprises even me. I never felt any particular affection for sidewalks while they were part of my daily life. And when we moved to Vermont, I rejoiced in the absence of sidewalks. We could have chosen to live in town and availed ourselves of the few blocks of sidewalks there. Instead, we wanted to live with as little paving as possible. We bought a home outside town, where our children have acres of woods to explore and rocks to climb. But no sidewalks.

 This is wonderful for our children. It's a little less wonderful for me.

 Here's what life was like when we lived in Berkeley, California – a city with LOTS of sidewalks: In order to reach half-a-dozen playgrounds, three libraries, and the downtown restaurants and shops, I had only to strap our girls into the stroller and follow the sidewalk. Sometimes the walk would take more than thirty minutes, but that didn't matter; we were getting fresh air, sunshine, and exercise.

 Now, in order to reach the playground, library, or downtown, I need to strap the girls into their car seats and DRIVE. Granted, that drive is almost never longer than fifteen minutes. Granted, for half the year it's so cold and snowy that I don't WANT to walk outside. All the same, I miss those daily opportunities for fresh air, sunshine, and exercise.

 When you're a mom with three (almost four) children ages five and under, it can be tough to get fresh air, sunshine, and exercise.

 But Faith, c'mon, you COULD still go for walks with your children, even without sidewalks, right?

 True. We do live in a neighborhood with stroller-friendly paved streets. But let me give you an idea of what it's like when our whole family tries to take a Sunday afternoon stroll:

 You know how sometimes at the grocery store, you'll get a shopping cart with a bum wheel? One of those wheels that's somehow gotten twisted around so that the cart keeps veering off to one side, instead of where you're trying to push it? Well, I've got three daughters with bum wheels. Without a sidewalk to contain them, our girls continually veer out into the street, no matter how many times we yelp, "Stay to the SIDE!"

 Then there's the stroller problem. We bring the stroller along for our two-year-old, but as the youngest of three children, most of the time she wants to walk like her big sisters. And she refuses to hold anyone's hand, because apparently BIG GIRLS don't hold hands! Which means that one parent ends up pushing a useless, empty stroller with hands that would be better used corralling the three children wandering all over the road. During those rare moments when our youngest daughter does submit to a stroller ride, one of her sisters inevitably demands to PUSH THE STROLLER – ALL BY MYSELF! Result: a small child pushing a stroller in five different directions.

 As if that's not enough, there's the dog. Gracie the labradoodle is by far the easiest member of our family to walk, mostly because she's on a leash. The problem is that when we bring Gracie along on walks, every single one of our daughters wants to hold the leash. And NO, they can't compromise and hold the leash together!

 So we break up the screaming fight over the leash and set up a rotation, and one happy daughter sets off with Gracie. But the concept that we repeat to our daughters EVERY TIME is: If YOU run, then GRACIE will run, and she outweighs you by a LOT. And EVERY TIME, the dog-walking daughter in question decides to run, and Gracie runs, and the daughter drops Gracie's leash, and we all end up chasing the dog.

 Three girls, a dog, and a stroller swerving all over the road; it's like some kind of crazy video game.

 Things REALLY get exciting when a car comes along. Thankfully, this doesn't happen often where we live, but there was one Sunday when our neighbors were having a party. A big party. Which meant cars – LOTS of cars – BIG CARS – pulling onto our road.

 This kind of thing generally doesn't worry me too much. I figure it's why you have more than one child. Plus, if a car runs down one of our girls, I'm pretty sure the car would be at fault. So I walk along telling the girls to get out of the road, while inwardly I'm imagining the new washer/dryer I'll buy with the insurance money.

 Unfortunately, my husband doesn't share this philosophy. I may be the stay-at-home parent, but Erick is the responsible parent. He's the one who slathers the girls with sunscreen and bug spray, puts a radon detector in the basement, and gets really REALLY anxious when our children run around in the middle of the road. Every time we manage to herd our family back up the driveway after a walk, Erick turns to me, exhales deeply, and asks, "Why do I EVER think a family walk will be a nice idea?"

 Me? I figure this is temporary; soon the kids will be old enough to walk responsibly, be visible to cars, and outweigh the dog.

 In the meantime, I miss sidewalks.

 Faith Gong has worked as an elementary school teacher, a freelance photographer, and a nonprofit manager. Since moving to Addison County in 2011, her work has involved caring for a house in the woods, three young daughters (with another on the way), one anxiety-prone puppy — and writing for her blog, The Pickle Patch.

There are cases in which Bedford County's current zoning ordinance chases business out of the county, according to Lee and Stan Aylor. They presented that message to the Bedford County Board of Supervisors Monday night.
The Aylor brothers have owned Aylor's Farm and Garden in Forest, located on U. S. 221, for three decades. They bought the property and got their business going there before the county had any zoning at all. When the county adopted a traditional zoning ordinance in 1998, their property was zoned commercial.

Cbeyond's Brent Cobb Talks with Cisco about Customer Intimacy and IPv6 (Part 1 of 2)
Since its founding in 1999, Cbeyond, the Atlanta-based managed services provider, has tried to remain true to its name. The company which focuses exclusively on small- and medium-sized businesses must observe and act on technology trends well in advance to maintain its position with its customers as both a communications and hosted IT provider.
We recently had an opportunity to interview Brent Cobb, Cbeyond's Chief Revenue and Customer Officer to hear how Cbeyond enables its small business customers to reap the benefits of advanced technology usually unavailable without the IT infrastructure of a big business.
Cisco: What kind of challenges does Cbeyond see facing its customers?
Brent Cobb:
It is a very challenging economic environment for our customers. What we saw in 2007 is still what we see today. In fact, we saw the recession coming 6-9 months before anyone else could because of the selection of services they were buying. It seems like the economy is more stable now, but it's still cloudy for small business. There is still a lot of uncertainty about what the economy is going to look like in 12 months and also what government regulation and taxes will look like.
We've asked our customers how they feel. They say, "we're looking to stabilize but cautiously optimistic about growth." Productivity, profitability, and protection of our customers is what we're pushing today. Our customers are trying to work with fewer vendors, partners, and service providers and where they continue to work with someone they want to see more added value. For Cbeyond, there's an opportunity to streamline our company and provide better service for less money. Last year we acquired companies in the cloud server space to allow for virtual and dedicated server services, and we've been including more of those services in our core bundle – giving our customers a better value. Our customers really prefer using the power of cloud-based computing in lieu of spending more money on servers on premise (and the operational headaches they bring). It also helps their balance sheets.
What trends in the industry are most affecting Cbeyond?
Brent Cobb:
Technology innovations are happening quickly, especially around mobile. There is the advent of mobile broadband and of applications being developed for high speed mobile networks. You're starting to see things moving into phase with each other. You're starting to see the speed of network, the processing power of the smartphone, and the applications being tuned so they can leverage each other at optimal performance. This hasn't been the case in the past. You're starting to see the integration of the network – wired or wireless – integration of applications across multiple operating systems and handheld devices.
Cbeyond is happy the market is moving in this direction because we spotted these trends. We launched mobile services as an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) a few years back. We provide, provision, manage, authenticate, and deliver apps over a mobile network and have been selling smartphones since 2006. We have relationships with 4G providers, including Clearwire and Sprint. We've had a 3G solution for five years now. We understand the need to integrate wired and wireless networks. Because we're offering applications that are hosted in a data center, it doesn't matter to us where that request is coming from – smartphone, PC, across LAN or WAN – and we've been anticipating the integration of wired and wireless networks. Look at Apple – they've been a major driver in this trend worldwide. We've been pleasantly and anxiously awaiting it for some time because we can bring all these things together with a level of customer intimacy they're not going to find from our competitors.
Please check back tomorrow for Part 2 of our interview.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

You can't fault the Austrian government for giving a bionic-armed man a driver's license. But you also can't be shocked that he wrapped his Subaru around a tree. We just hope he pulls through. UPDATED:
Unfortunately, Christian Kandlbauer died yesterday of wounds sustained in his accident. The 22-year-old was the first man with no biological arms to receive a driver's license.
There is still no word on whether the crash was caused by problems with his bionic limbs, but we have to commend the love of the road that inspired him to get behind the wheel by any means necessary.
Thanks for the heads-up, Chris.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Eighteen months after the Gallup Organization incorrectly showed Mitt Romney leading President Barack Obama on the eve of the 2012 presidential election, the legendary but embattled polling firm unveiled additional research aimed at fine-tuning their methodology before the 2016 campaign.
Gallup conducted polls last year in New Jersey and Virginia in the run-up to gubernatorial elections in those states, testing different modes of surveying voters and alternative methods for accurately predicting which voters would actually cast ballots.
Story Continued Below
Overall, the research showed telephone polling was more accurate than Internet surveys the firm commissioned – suggesting that any switch towards the web, as some news organizations have done, was premature for their purposes.
"We simply haven't found another way to estimate the national electorate," said Gallup editor-in-chief Frank Newport in an interview after the research was presented.
( Also on POLITICO: DOJ slaps Gallup with $10.5M fine)
Moreover, the review found that Gallup's likely-voter screen – a battery of questions, including self-reported vote history and present-day intentions – produced more accurate results than other methods of filtering out voters who won't end up casting ballots.
The results, the second phase of Gallup's review of its 2012 Republican bias, were released for the first time here Friday morning at the American Association for Public Opinion Research's annual conference. The polls in New Jersey and Virginia were conducted exclusively for the purpose of research and were not released to the public. Aiding Gallup in their analysis was University of Michigan professor Michael Traugott, a past president of the association and expert in survey research, and graduate students at Michigan and the University of Maryland.
Gallup's 2012 final likely-voter estimate showed Romney leading Obama by one point, 49 percent to 48 percent. Among all registered voters, Obama led, 49 percent to 46 percent. That Gallup's registered-voter results were closer to Obama's eventual, four-point margin of victory means that their efforts to model the electorate achieved the opposite result. They excluded voters who said they weren't giving much thought to the election, though some of these voters turned out on Election Day, mostly for Obama.
( Earlier on POLITICO: Gallup unveils polling changes)
But Gallup's research fell short of addressing these issues for some in attendance. ABC News's Dan Merkle, who moderated the session at which three research papers were presented, noted that Gallup failed to experiment with tweaks to the "thought-given-to-the-election" question as part of the likely-voter model. And he pointed out that Gallup's error in the New Jersey gubernatorial race – it showed GOP Gov. Chris Christie leading by a margin five points greater than his ultimate advantage – was equal to their five-point error in the 2012 presidential race. (Gallup's poll in Virginia was closer, only slightly underestimating Democrat Terry McAuliffe's winning margin, showing him ahead by one point instead of three.)
The New Jersey and Virginia phone surveys revisited some familiar themes for Gallup. Like in 2012, its likely-voter universe included a larger percentage of white voters than were measured by exit polls. Both polls also underestimated Democrats' composition of the electorate, compared to the exit polls. Democrats held a 12-point edge over Republicans in the 2013 exit poll in New Jersey, but Gallup's pre-election survey showed Democrats with just a two-point edge among likely voters.
In June 2013, when Gallup presented the first phase of its review, Newport told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the likely-voter model "probably needed a total overhaul." But the experiments conducted in this phase of research involved more subtle changes.

Teacher morale is at an all-time low. Great teachers are leaving the profession every day and even more are considering doing the same.
Teachers can't do it alone
Our education system is on the brink of collapse. Bureaucrats create classroom policies, affecting students' future, but never step foot in a classroom. They are clueless as to what is effective and what motivates, interests, engages, and educates students, pushing more standardized testing, more rules and regulations, more failure.
Students must still be held accountable for their education and take responsibility for their success. Teachers teach, guide, and mentor students. They are, however, at a disadvantage. Teacher morale is at an all-time low. Great teachers are leaving the profession every day and even more are considering doing the same.
Should teachers be held responsible for a student who is lazy, disrespectful, and unengaged? Should a teacher's pay be determined by a disruptive student's inadequacies, or from the failure of a student who rarely, if ever, comes to school? Teachers shouldn't be babysitters, and they shouldn't be required to endure behaviors deemed unacceptable by society.
Teachers are held accountable for providing an education to all students. They are well prepared, professional, knowledgeable, and thorough and should have flexibility to look at each student individually. Student success shouldn't be determined by a single "all or nothing" assessment.
Exploit strengths and improve weaknesses. Return vocational courses to the classroom. (Not all students are college material. We will, however, always need plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and mechanics. These classes are no longer offered.)
Many academically struggling students may fall through the cracks. What happened to our youth? To our society? To our morals and values? Return to what works. These problems didn't exist 25, 50 or 100 years ago.
Politicians must be held accountable. We must all address our nation's declining morals, values, and character. Why are we are being led down this path due to policies and beliefs of a relatively few Washington bureaucrats?

The voters of Volusia County have truly outdone themselves this election, and I am not referring to the failure to cast a majority vote for President Obama. The Volusia County chair vote is what I am stunned by.
I read The News-Journal's analysis of the reasons Carl Persis might have lost the recent county chairmanship, but am still amazed by the electorate. Previous to this damaging, uninformed vote to elect an individual with no preparation to head a large county, it was Florida — including Volusia County — that put Rick Scott in office. The chair's position demands an individual with knowledge and experience in the day-to-day operation of a large government.
Not electing a solid, proven individual like Carl Persis, and instead putting Jason Davis in this position, would be laughable if it was not so important. What were people thinking?[CHRIS SORENSEN
I was amazed that you gave Ron Paul's 23-year record of service at least a passing nod and fond farewell (By the way, where was your coverage of Gary Johnson?) The Republicans used every dirty trick in the book against his 2012 candidacy, including "bus-kidnapping" pro-Paul delegates to prevent them from opposing last-minute rule changes enacted to disenfranchise delegates. As a result, they have now alienated the young people and true libertarians who could have been the future of a successful Republican Party.
Recent letter writers have bemoaned President Obama's re-election on the grounds that he has "brought the country to its knees," "did not propose a viable plan to create jobs," and failed to "regain control of our ever-increasing national debt."
However, the facts of our past and current economic situation don't justify their pessimism and fear.
First of all, it was the boom-and-bust economic policies of President George W. Bush that brought the economy to its knees. The housing, banking and automobile sectors had collapsed. And Bush also sowed the seeds of the debt challenge by borrowing billions of dollars to pay for two wars that made the military/industrial complex rich but contributed little to American security.
Most objective economists actually think Obama has managed the economy pretty well, in difficult circumstances. Yes, he over-promised on job creation and unemployment, because he underestimated the severity of the credit crisis. But he stabilized the banking and automobile sectors, which saved thousands of jobs; he cut the payroll tax, which encouraged private-sector hiring; and he launched a stimulus program that created several million jobs. He couldn't do more because the congressional Republicans blocked further measures in the hope he would fail.
Cutting the national debt during his first term would have worsened the recession and unemployment, so Obama was smart not to do it. The time to start that process is now, as the economy is recovering. And the balance of spending cuts and modest tax increases for the rich he's proposed is economically the soundest way to do it.
So News-Journal readers shouldn't despair. We've come through the recession in pretty good shape, unlike most Europeans. There are good reasons to be thankful and optimistic about the future of our economy this holiday season.

Think of this: if you have a dog and you are traveling, you cannot eat anywhere if there are no dog-friendly options. You cannot legally or morally leave your dog in the car because of heat.
Do we want to limit tourists and locals with dogs to takeout only? Can restaurants afford to keep losing their business?

Skeletons unearthed during excavations for London's Crossrail project are those of Black Death victims who were buried during the 14th and 15th Century pandemics, DNA analysis has revealed.
The skeletons of 13 men, three women and two children, along with seven other unidentifiable remains, were found under Charterhouse Square in Farringdon during excavation work for the £14.8 billion project.
It is thought that the area near the Barbican Centre, which was just outside the city boundary at the time, may be the location the location of the second emergency burial ground referenced in historical documents but until now it had never found.
Set up in the capital to cater for the masses of bodies, it means that thousands more could have been buried in a mass grave in the area. A 'community excavation project' is set to take place in July to try to determine the extent of the cemetery.
Carbon dating techniques on 10 of the skeletons conducted by scientists from Queen's University Belfast indicated three separate "phases" of burials – coinciding with known separate outbreaks of the plague in the capital.
The Black Death spread from Europe to England in 1348 and the layer of bodies found at the bottom of the excavation site are estimated to have been buried between 1348 and 1349, while a second layer were dated to coincide with a second outbreak of the plague in 1361, the researchers said.
The final layer of bodies were laid to rest between 1433 and 1435 – when another devastating event of plague swept through London. Four of the skeletons had remnants of the Yersinia pestis bacterium – which causes plague – on their teeth, DNA analysis showed.
The findings will be featured in a new Channel 4 programme, Return Of The Black Death, during which scientists from Public Health England in Porton Down will argue that the DNA evidence shows that the plague must have been spread by coughs and sneezes rather than fleas on rats – as has been popular belief for many years.
The team led by Dr Tim Brooks argue that the infection spread so fast that it must have got into the lungs of already malnourished victims, meaning the outbreaks were in fact pneumonic plague rather than a bubonic plague.
Many of the bodies showed signs of poor health and of having jobs that involved heavy manual labour, the Queen's University researchers said, noting a high rate of back damage and strain.
Four out of the 10 remains analysed are from people that grew up outside the capital, as far north as Scotland, showing that, just as today, London drew people from across the country.
Osteologist Don Walker, from the Museum of London Archaeology (Mola), said he was "amazed" how much information could be gleaned about each person.
"The skeletons discovered at Crossrail's Farringdon site provide a rare opportunity for us to study the medieval population of London that experienced the Black Death," he said.
"We can start to answer questions like: where did they come from and what were their lives like? What's more, it allows for detailed analysis of the pathogen, helping to characterise the history and evolution of this devastating pandemic."
Jay Carver, Crossrail's lead archaeologist, added: "This is probably the first time in modern archaeological investigation that we have finally found evidence for a burial ground in this area which potentially contains thousands of victims from the Black Death and potentially later plague events as well.
"Historical documents suggest the burial ground was established for poor strangers. There is no doubt from the osteological work that the individuals buried here were not the wealthy classes, and they are representing the typical Londoner."
Around 1.5 million Britons – more than a third of the population – died as a result of the Black Death, while about 25 million perished across Europe. More than 10,000 items of archaeological interest have been uncovered since the Crossrail project began.

Talked recently with SEIU International Secretary-Treasurer Eliseo Medina. The head of the 2.1 million-member union — 25 percent of whom are Latino — last week kicked off a national tour with other Latino groups to try to bump up the Latino voter turnout. The goal of ¡Todos a Votar! ("Let's Vote"): 12 million Latino voters, which would be up 20 percent over 2008.
Here's a couple of highlights from our chat.
On what motivates Latino voters: "Attacks on immigrants," Medina said, like Arizona's SB 1070 and comments like Mitt Romney's like immigrations "self-deporting" and politicians who oppose the Dream Act. Getting out to vote, Medina said, "is like a self-defense mechanism for our community."
But conservatives often point out that polls show that the economy is the No. 1 issue with Latino voters: "That shows how little Republicans know about our community. It's not just a debate about policy. It's about the tone they often use. What they're doing is demonizing Latinos and immigrants in general."
On how not passing immigration reform will hurt President Obama, who promised it as a candidate in 2008: "It's a real problem that we haven't had immigration reform. But I tell people that the fact that we don't have it isn't a reason to stay home."
Are the policies of Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who is often mentioned Romney's short-list of VP candidates, in the mainstream of Latino voters? "No. Mr. Rubio, unfortunately, has not been supportive of the Dream Act, of immigration reform. This is not about having a brown face or having a Spanish surname. This is about doing something for the Latino community."
On whether the SEIU would be able to invest as much money and manpower in the 2012 election as it did in 2008: "We will be even more active."
Why start this national tour in Stockton, Calif.? "Because this area has traditionally underperformed" in terms of Latino voter turnout.
Other groups participating in the the ¡Todos a Votar! Tour include the Center for Community Change (CCC), Hispanic Federation, Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA), League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), National Council of La Raza (NCLR), Mi Familia Vota (MFV), Presente.org.

WOODSTOCK – A relentless storm quieted the outdoor crowd, but activity around the Woodstock Square was cooking Wednesday as "Restaurant: Impossible" crews filmed at Angelo's Restaurant.
"I've been here since 7 a.m. and it's been packed," Shannon Levine, who works at the nearby Starbucks, said Wednesday afternoon. "It's a big thing. ... Everybody who comes in is talking about it."
Filming continues today for the Food Network show that attempts to – on a $10,000 budget – turn around the fate of one restaurant each episode. Curious community members gathered to watch the operation Wednesday morning before the storm forced many indoors. The production team had a tent set up on Dean Street between the restaurant and the Woodstock Opera House.
Cars continued creeping by the set into the afternoon. Several slowed long enough for passengers to snap cellphone photos out rain-streaked windows.
Wanda "Woo" Gatsis, of Woodstock, said she'd been several places Wednesday morning and that the town was "buzzing."
She said she was hoping that "Restaurant Impossible" host Robert Irvine keeps in mind the Square's history when deciding on renovations. She's talked to several people who want to see the restaurant redone in the likeness of Tip Top Café, the famous restaurant from "Groundhog Day."
"We just think it should be nostalgic and represent the Square," Gatsis said.
Arlene Lynes, owner of the Square's Read Between The Lynes book store, agreed that the restaurant could benefit from such a move.
"It would make great sense," Lynes said. "It would still need to serve the local clientele, but so many people come year round and want to eat at a place like the Tip Top Café."
Lynes said the weather drove some people away in the afternoon, but her store was busy throughout the morning.
They also were fielding calls from people inquiring about Irvine's cookbooks.
Crews will wrap up shooting today, and Angelo's will have a grand reopening at 7 p.m. today. The episode featuring Angelo's is scheduled to air early this summer.
Judy Pelinski, who went by the restaurant Wednesday morning with her husband, Bill, said she was eager to see the changes.
"I think it's really exciting when Robert comes in," Pelinski said. "Not everybody might be a fan of the way he does things, but I think it's really exciting to give a business a new chance."

text: Hi Glen, Parallel environments (PE's) are "mostly" the same in Grid Engine 6 vs 5.3 in my experience. The main "gotcha" difference is that in SGE 6 you tell the *qeueue* the list of PE's it is able to support while in SGE 5 the opposite occured -- the PE itself was configured with a list of queues that it was active in. The other addition is the "urgency_slots" param (I think) which was not in SGE 5.3. If you had PE definitions or deployment scripts that worked in SGE 5.3 but not in 6 it may be due to the above. The "pe_list" parameter has moved from the PE object itself and into the queue configuration. For SGE 6 there are still the usual PVM and MPI templates and examples that come with the distribution. Just look in $SGE_ROOT/pvm/ and $SGE_ROOT/mpi/. Reuti also just updated the Grid Engine tight LAMMPI HOWTO which is here: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/project/gridengine/howto/lam-integration/lam-integration.html Back to PE's ... This is what a generic loosely integrated MPICH PE would look like in SGE 6: > workgroupcluster:~ admin$ qconf -sp mpich > pe_name mpich > slots 512 > user_lists NONE > xuser_lists NONE > start_proc_args /common/sge/mpi/startmpi.sh $pe_hostfile > stop_proc_args /common/sge/mpi/stopmpi.sh > allocation_rule $fill_up > control_slaves FALSE > job_is_first_task TRUE > urgency_slots min Note that there is no list of queues that the PE runs in. This has moved. The "pe_list" is now part of the queue configuration: > workgroupcluster:~ admin$ qconf -sq all.q > qname all.q > hostlist @allhosts > seq_no 0 > load_thresholds np_load_avg=1.75 > suspend_thresholds NONE > nsuspend 1 > suspend_interval 00:05:00 > priority 0 > min_cpu_interval 00:05:00 > processors UNDEFINED > qtype BATCH INTERACTIVE > ckpt_list NONE > pe_list make mpich > rerun FALSE < ....

Nothing Good About ItCategories:Other Brands
Your first warning with a site like this should be the ridiculous price. 'Ridiculous' when it comes to price usually refers to an outrageously high number. In this case it`s way too low! If someone tells you they`re going to sell you a high quality replica handbag for $21 you might as well ask if they`ll throw in a stolen car for another fifty bucks. Good china handbags.com may be honest about the value of their bags, but that doesn`t change the fact that they`re useless.
The quality is in perfect balance with the price – terrible, absolutely terrible. I didn`t expect much. In fact I expected a disaster and, well, that`s what I got. I bought a laughable Coach Madison Tote, which is a lovely bag in reality, and I`ve been on the hunt for one for a while. When I found one here for 21 dollars I nearly fell over, and for the sake of the review went ahead with it.
The logo was upside down! How in the world? The poor guy in the factory must have glued a thousand of these on that day, and well, got dizzy!
The canvas is really cheap, the leather feels like vinyl bus seats, the zipper was bent and flimsy, the interior is hideous, and with an upside down logo and a crappy signature Coach pattern, there`s not much to redeem this bag.
To be honest, who really cares? If all the bags are $21, that means they`re worth, what? $5? Do you really care if there are 10 or 5000 bags that are worth $5? Not a single one is going to be worth buying, unless you`re hoping to have a costume party! For what it`s worth, they have pretty much all the possible types of product that you can get in replica, from bags to clothes, shoes, watches, jewelry and wallets.
Shipping came from China in a very strange and mysterious package. It took two weeks and looked rather disheveled upon arrival. As for their shipping policy, there isn`t one! There is no text whatsoever on the site. You`re completely in the dark!
Return Policy
There isn`t one! Now that`s unheard of. On the site there is no declared return policy, which if the bags weren`t only $21 would completely rule out any purchase. It`s not like you`re taking a big risk…When I called and asked the poor guy had terrible English, and he seemed to suggest that yes, you could return a damaged bag, but how, he couldn`t explain. He told me to email.
Site Usability
The pictures of the bags are too small, and there`s only one picture for each bag, which makes it awful difficult to get any real sense of them. The layout of the site is fine, but the utter lack of information, either in terms of the features of the bags, or the return and shipping policies is unforgivable.
They meant well, I assume…but that`s not good enough. The staff was an absolute headache to get a hold of and they barely understood anything I was saying. I am honestly not the kind of person that feels it`s ok to slack someone simply because they`re not a native English speaker, but when it comes to customer service world wide, it`s absolutely essential that you be able to communicate. If you`re going to receive credit card payments especially, it`s not a question.
My Humble Conclusion
The only reason I`d see someone wanting to buy one of these bags is if they were having a costume party and everyone wanted to dress like a candy store version of a fashionista. You could get all decked out in the clothes, watches, handbags, wallets, shoes, sunglasses, head to toe in terrible quality replica and have a great time. If you plan on taking your purchase seriously, stay way the heck away from here.

Question: Do Botox injections hurt?
Answer: Injecting anything with a needle can cause mild discomfort but that all depends on the physician's skills and use of ancillary methods to reduce discomfort. Numbing cream can be used for the very sensitive patient or ice can also be applied immediately before injection to chill the skin and thereby anesthetize it. Some doctors tend to vibrate the skin a bit before injection to help with discomfort. Finally, something that I have done in my practice that has truly helped is to stop using preservative-free saline in the reconstitution. It is simply unnecessary and causes undue burning sensation during injection.

Building Our Movement: A Statement of Principles From DC Organizers and Activists
A guide for effective organzing in DC, especially for out-of-towners.
The District of Columbia is the nation's Capital and therefore a lightning rod for national organizing, but it is also the home of 600,000 people who deal day-to-day with the consequences of many of the important issues that get protested downtown. Often, there is a great divide in DC between locally and nationally focused groups even though these groups encounter the same difficulties, require many of the same resources and often have similar goals. This leads to competing for attention, attendees, media and support while wasting that most valuable of resources, time, by duplicating efforts. Often times there are class and race divides between local and national organizers, adding to the power dynamics and complicated relationships.
This document is an attempt to address this problem by laying out best practices for organizers working in the DC area who see the inherent power in building connections across issues, relating national and international struggles to the local ones affecting people day to day, and strengthening a powerful and unified movement for progressive social change. We hope that national organizing can strengthen local capacity to improve social conditions, organizing and movement building in DC, rather than sapping energy and causing divisions within the movement. We think it's possible to continue to support important and inspirational national protests while also empowering DC communities in order to strengthen and unify our movement as a whole.

When you go 6-10 without once starting a competent quarterback, when your season is derailed by locker room backbiting and anonymous shit-talk, when your second-string QB generates the biggest awareness-to-playing-time ratio in football's history, then you lose the right to have NFL Network PAs fact-check your chyron.
Reader Chris grabbed this shot of the graphics on the NFL Network's Sunday evening GameDay show, and perhaps it wasn't a typo. Perhaps the producers knew more people would stick around for the promise of merriment than for highlights of that horrible game.
Has there ever been a more appropriate team anagram? (Besides maybe Lions=Loins, or Dolphins=Hind Slop?) Look how naturally it flows:

Is Firefox in a Fix?
Jul 14, 2014 7:39 PM PT
It's been difficult to hear ourselves think here in the Linux blogosphere lately, what with all the distractions that have been thrown our way.
We've had the NSA casting aspersions on Linux users; we've had the IRS looking askance at FOSS. We've even had the well-respected Tor Project sucked into a lawsuit over revenge porn, of all things.
Ready for the latest? None other than this: "Is Firefox dying a slow death?"
'Definitely Waning!'
That, indeed, was the headline over at ITworld, and variations on the theme could be heard elsewhere in the blogosphere as well.
"Firefox web browser popularity wanes" was the version over at ZDNet; "the popularity of Firefox is definitely waning!" was the opinion of another blogger.
Numerous anxious discussions soon popped up throughout the Linux blogosphere -- including two (here and here) on LXer alone -- so Linux Girl knew it was time to learn more.
'The Anti-IE Browser'
"The numbers tell the story here," offered Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien. "Firefox is losing market share, and it is losing it to Chrome -- Safari and Opera also lost a little, and IE is stagnant (in more ways than one, I suspect)."
One big reason is that "Firefox was the 'anti-IE' browser for a number of years, but now Chrome does that to a satisfactory degree," O'Brien opined. "Add in the easy integration with all of the Google services, Chromebooks and Android, and I have trouble seeing much of a future here.
"A lot will hinge on whether Google renews the deal with Firefox," he added. "They might, since it is pocket change to Google, and if I were in charge there I would do it because Google has enough problems without getting blamed for killing Firefox."
'Stop Messing With the Formula'
This is what happens "when you try to force changes from on high instead of listening to your customers," SoylentNews blogger hairyfeet said. "MSFT found this out with Windows 8 and Metro."
In a competitive environment, "if you don't give the customers what they want, they go somewhere else," hairyfeet added. "In this case, the consensus on Soylent is that Pale Moon is the big winner, with many FF users jumping over to PM after the devs stated they will NOT be going with the new GUI."
Indeed, "I wish they'd stop messing with the formula and just put out a quality Web browser," Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza agreed. "If they want to play with new functionality, try that out in a preview release and then actually listen to the community. The facelift is a textbook example."
The DRM Debacle
There are two factors causing the apparent decrease in Firefox's popularity, Google+ blogger Gonzalo Velasco C. asserted.
First is "the 'problem' with CEOs -- one accused of sexism and the other bending over to DRM," he said. "The first issue was kind of forced into the community heart, since that person never brought that into the community, really; the second issue is there for all of us to see: FF is not the 100 percent FLOSS friend and flag-carrier it used to be. There is still time to review this decision, Mozilla!"
The other key factor, though, is "the almost continuous growth of Chromium/Chrome popularity," Gonzalo Velasco C. suggested. "The number of desktop and laptop computers is not growing that much, while more portables and smartphones are on the rise. These last ones use Android apps... and there it is, Google Chrome! So 2+2=4."
The day Firefox OS comes out "for real," however, "numbers will change a little in its favor," he predicted.
Firefox also could end up as the default browser on the Ubuntu Phone, he added.
In any case, "I still use and prefer Firefox or Iceweasel," Gonzalo Velasco C. said.
'We Really Need a 3rd Option'
"I believe Firefox is in trouble, but less for the Web browser and more for outside problems," Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol agreed. "The ousting of Eich, the DRM problem -- all those imbroglios have tarnished the image of Firefox."
So, on one side, "agnostic users left Firefox because they were told its new CEO was a conservative bigot," he said. On the other, "the folks who care about freedom, privacy and open Internet left Firefox because of the DRM module to play Netflix. So, on both fronts, Firefox's image was burned."
Yet the latest version of the browser is "the best in a long time," Ebersol opined -- "fast, and with a beautiful interface. The previous Linux GTK interface was horrid."
Meanwhile, "how I wish Firefox phone could take off and fly high, because we really need a third option which is not Windows Phone," he concluded. "So, I'm hoping for the best but expecting the not-so-best to happen."
'Huge Danger in Trusting Google'
Firefox "has a reputation of being a bit bloated and slow, which hurts it relative to Chrome," noted Chris Travers, a blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project.
On the other hand, "there are a number of reasons to be skeptical of Chrome in security-critical environments," Travers said. "Firefox, for example, has more options to deal with SSL certificate validation, while Chrome can only either soft fail or just get a list of 'important' expired certificates from Google."
In fact, "there is a huge danger in trusting Google -- or any other single large company, particularly one with interests in U.S. defense contracts -- with the responsibility to determine whether a certificate revocation is important enough to tell you about," he added. "With Chrome, you give up a lot of control over your own security."
'It's Good to Have Choices'
Firefox is "still a great browser," blogger Robert Pogson agreed. "I use both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox in my home."
The key feature that distinguishes them in terms of usage is the search window, Pogson said.
"I like the fact that Google's Chrome uses the same window for both search strings and URLs," he explained. "That saves time and pointing."
Of course, "letting Google know what we are searching for is a vulnerability for some and an accelerator for others," he acknowledged. "Google's search is sublime when it knows your search history..."
In any case, "both browsers are Free Software except that Chrome includes Flash Player," but "there's Chromium if you don't want that," Pogson pointed out. "It's good to have choices -- unlike that other OS and its browser. What are those people using Internet Exploder thinking?"

The FAA has selected a team headed by Lockheed Martin to provide services now offered by the agency's Automated Flight Service Stations.
The five-year contract, with an option for five more years, is estimated at $1.9 billion. FAA officials say turning AFSS duties over to Lockheed Martin will save $2.2 billion over the next 10 years.
Lockheed Martin will install new technology and upgrade facilities to improve efficiency of the Flight Service Stations, according to Linda Gooden, president, Lockheed Martin Information Technology. The combination of new technology and "planned organizational efficiency improvements" will result in 38 of the current 58 FSS sites closing in the next two years.
The FAA selected Lockheed Martin, based in Bethesda, Maryland, for its "demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality safety and services and technical excellence at a competitive cost while providing a seamless transition to new operations." Lockheed Martin will operate the FSS under continued FAA oversight to the agency's "strict safety and service requirements," FAA officials said.
About 2,500 FAA employees now provide services, such as weather briefings, in-flight radio communications, flight planning and search-and-rescue support, at 58 automated flight service stations in the contiguous 48 states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Three flight service stations in Alaska were not included in the bidding process.
Studies by the FAA and the Department of Transportation's Inspector General identified significant potential cost savings by contracting out the FSS duties. FAA spending on flight service operations was about $500 million in fiscal year 2003. Only $60 million was offset by federal fuel taxes collected from general aviation, FAA officials note. Additionally, they said, many automated flight service stations contain outdated equipment, are in need of upgraded technology and are housed in deteriorating buildings.
In December 2003, the FAA formally announced that the flight service stations met the criteria for competitive sourcing and that it would conduct a competition under the Office of Management and Budget's Circular A-76 guidelines for an improved way to provide flight service operations. This is the largest public-private job competition in the government's history.
The FAA evaluated five competing service providers, including a partnership of FAA employees and Harris Corp., on the best value to the government. The FAA required each bidder to demonstrate savings of almost $1 billion over 10 years.
It is rare for an outside company to win public-private competitions. In-house employees retained more than 90% of jobs that went out for bid in 2004 and 89% of jobs in 2003, according to OMB statistics.
Lockheed Martin will assume operations in October of this year. Consolidation of the 58 current flight service stations will begin in April 2006 and is expected to result in just 20 stations by the end of March 2007.
Lockheed will offer flight service specialists jobs for at least three years at pay similar to what they received from the government, according to FAA officials.
"We know that a modernization of this magnitude can be difficult for employees," Gooden said. "Lockheed Martin has developed a comprehensive plan to provide opportunities for all AFSS employees while ensuring Flight Service Stations continue to provide seamless service to the aviation community during this transition."
Those who lose their jobs will have "preferential" treatment for job openings elsewhere in the FAA's air traffic control organization, FAA officials said. That includes allowing some FSS employees to apply for air traffic control jobs even if they are older than 31, the age limit for ATC recruits.
