FAO at global conference on employment for the future
2 June 2010, Rome – Entrepreneurs, opinion makers, political leaders and civil society representatives will be among the more than 2 000 people taking part in the 2-5 June 5th Global YES Summit – Rework the World event in Leksand, Sweden.
The summit will host strategic discussions on employment opportunities for the future, and include presentations of more than 100 initiatives and ventures from all over the world. The selected initiatives, including one presented by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), will fall into one of five categories: Energy, Water, Land, Cities and People.
In a People session on integrating youth employment in conflict-affected environments, FAO will describe its initiative to promote employment and entrepreneurship among girls and boys in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, through training in agriculture, business and personal skills.
Future employment for girls in the West Bank and Gaza Strip (WBGS) is an even greater challenge than for boys, as overall female participation in the labour market is one of the lowest in the world - only 15%, according to Palestinian Authority statistics.
The conference session will explore ways to enable girls and boys to take part in farming, build their own businesses and become employable. Specific focus will be placed on how these efforts can be scaled up to reach more people as well as inform other efforts tackling similar conflict-related challenges.
Girls at a disadvantage
Creating jobs for young people is a challenge in a labour market that is expanding by roughly 45 million people a year, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO). The ILO's annual Global Employment Trends report shows the number of unemployed youth worldwide increased by 10.2 million in 2009 compared to 2007, the largest hike since 1991.
The report indicates the global economic crisis has had far-reaching effects on employment for both women and men, but worldwide figures show women face greater, ongoing disadvantages in labour markets around the world. Between 2008 and 2009, the unemployment rate for women increased by 0.8 percentage points and for men by 0.7 percentage points.
FAO has long championed rural development as a key to poverty reduction as well as increased gender equality in employment, since many women are employed, formally or informally, in the agriculture sector. While figures are not available for every country surveyed, available ILO statistics show girls living in poverty are more vulnerable to working in unacceptable conditions than boys, and among adults, women are more likely to be engaged in informal or unpaid employment.
To meet these challenges, FAO and ILO are currently collaborating to achieve their shared goals through the "Food, Agriculture and Decent Work" initiative. They are working together in the framework of a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2004, and in line with the internationally agreed, global development agenda.
FAO-ILO common areas of work include decent work, employment, gender equality, social protection, social dialogue, fundamental rights and principles at work. The two organizations are also playing leading roles in the global effort to eliminate child labour in agriculture, especially hazardous child labour, and to promote decent youth employment opportunities.

Military Continues Investigation to Find Killers of U.S. Soldiers
By Sgt. Sara Wood, USA
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 27, 2006 - The U.S. military is conducting an aggressive investigation to find those responsible for the deaths this month of three U.S. soldiers - one of whom died in an initial attack on the checkpoint the soldiers were manning, and two of whom were found dead four days later not far from the checkpoint, a top general in Iraq said today.
The attack occurred June 16 at a traffic control checkpoint about 30 kilometers southwest of Baghdad. Army Spc. David J. Babineau, 25, was killed in the attack, and Army Pfc. Kristian Menchaca and Army Pfc. Thomas Tucker went missing.
After days of search operations involving about 8,000 coalition and Iraqi security forces, Menchaca and Tucker's remains were recovered June 20 alongside a road near the village of Mufaraji, northwest of Youssifiyah, 12 miles south of Baghdad, Army Maj. Gen. James D. Thurman, commander of Multinational Division Baghdad, said in a news conference from Iraq.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of these great soldiers," Thurman said. "We will remember their sacrifice; their commitment and contribution will never be forgotten. These soldiers represent the human dimension of war."
The recovery efforts to find the two soldiers began immediately after the attack and lasted until June 20, when the two soldiers' remains were discovered, Thurman said. U.S. Army and Marine units, Iraqi army units and Iraqi Special Forces conducted 25 combat operations and 11 air assaults, he said.
"This was a true combined and joint effort that we put forth to go find our missing soldiers," Thurman said. "We pulled out the stops to go find these two soldiers."
U.S. and Iraqi forces analyzed evidence found at the site of the attack and several other sites and used tips from local Iraqis to guide them to the soldiers' bodies, Thurman said. The site containing the soldiers' remains had to be cleared before the remains were recovered, because it contained improvised explosive devices, he said.
Thurman has directed a formal investigation into the events surrounding the deaths of Menchaca and Tucker, but he said he believes al Qaeda was involved.
"These events demonstrate what a ruthless and brutal enemy we face and the tough nature of this fight that we're in today, as the terrorists continue to try to disrupt the formation of this government," he said. "We will continue to target these elements and we will bring them to justice, because they're operating outside the rule of law, and that will not stand."
U.S. and Iraqi forces detained 36 people during the recovery operations, 20 of whom are directly or indirectly linked to the attack, Thurman said. Of those detained, 13 people continue to provide valuable intelligence to U.S. and Iraqi forces and are still being questioned, he said. The operations also yielded more than 300 documents, CDs and videotapes, which are being included in the investigation, he said.
"We'll continue to target the personnel responsible for and linked to this attack," he said. "We'll be very relentless in finding out who did this act."
Thurman lauded the Iraqi forces for their quick response, and the Iraqi citizens for coming forward with information. He stressed that U.S. and Iraqi forces will continue to work to prevent further violence in and around Baghdad.

About Bedminster Township
Homes for sale in Bedminster Township sit upon 26 square miles of charming hamlets with antique homes, expansive equestrian estates, lavish town houses, and rolling farmland in the heart of Somerset County's legendary hunt country. This quiet area experienced unprecedented growth during the 1980s when The Hills, a master planned community east of Route 287, opened its doors and the population soared from 2,500 to 8,000-plus residents today. Yet much of the Township retains its peaceful feeling; many unpaved lanes are ideal for bicyclists, horseback riders, hikers, and dog walkers.Back to top
With a history that reaches back to the Revolutionary War, Bedminster's residents are committed to maintaining the township's rural atmosphere. Gentle hills, open green fields, and horse properties characterize miles of winding country roads. The township was created by Royal Charter in 1749 after being formally incorporated by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature in 1798.
Bedminster is one of the most important Revolutionary War sites in the state. The town served as military headquarters for General Knox during the war; it was used as an artillery range and was actually a forerunner to West Point.
A farming community until 1890 when the railroad linked the area to Newark and New York City, wealthy families from the cities were attracted to Bedminster's natural beauty and built expansive country estates here. Among the prosperous New York businessmen who purchased large parcels for their estates were Grant Schley, Charles Pfizer, Clarence Dillon, and James Cox Brady.
After World War II, AT&T created the township's first business campus, a trend that was followed by many other top enterprises. In the late 1960s, Interstate Highway 78 opened along the township's southern border, and Interstate 287 was constructed along its eastern border, making it easy to reach points throughout New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.Back to top
Community Life

The Clarence Dillon Library was constructed with $1.5 million in funds that were raised entirely by area residents. The Friends of the Library is a volunteer group that works to maintain and update the book collection. Book discussion groups, lectures, and a children's library are also offered.
Bedminster contains a main village center in Pluckemin, along with several small businesses and services along Routes 202 and 206 including; Delicious Heights restaurant, a historic landmark dating back to George Washington's time. Bridgewater Commons shopping center, anchored by Lord & Taylor, Macy's, and Bloomingdale's is about ten minutes away.Back to top

Jacobus Vanderveer House: Also known as The Vanderveer/Knox House, the property was purchased by Bedminster Township in 1989 and is supported by the Friends of the Jacobus Vanderveer House and the Bedminster Historical Commission. Surrounded by 218 acres, the circa 1760 dwelling is the last remaining site in Somerset County associated with the locally prominent Vanderveer family. It is the only intact structure in the township that can effectively interpret Vanderveer family life and local Revolutionary War activities, and is considered to be the first installation in America that trained officers in engineering and artillery.
American Revolutionary War General Henry Knox and his family lived in the house during the winter of 1778-1779 while the general commanded the Continental Artillery that was encamped nearby in Pluckemin. Vanderveer House exemplifies vernacular Dutch-American architecture, which was later modified and enlarged during the Federal period.
The main block of the house is a representative 18th-century Dutch dwelling with mud walls, exposed wooden beams, and fireplaces surrounded by Delft tile from Holland.
By 2012, plans called for historically accurate landscaping, a reconstructed multi-purpose barn, outbuildings, and visitor amenities.
Local Villages: There are three historic villages located within Bedminster Township, each listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In Pluckemin, Colonial-era buildings are a reminder that General George Washington and his troops marched through the area. Quaint Lamington in the center of the township is filled with country farms, homes, and barns. Farms lining Lamington Road are so picturesque that one was chosen for scenes in the 2004 remake of The Stepford Wives movie. The Lamington Country Store near Black River Road is a local landmark often used in television commercials. Situated in the northwest corner of Bedminster, the old-fashioned village of Pottersville also has its own country store as well as historic churches and an Antique Show held each July since 1953.
McDonald's/Kline's Mills, Kline's Mill Road: This so-called "up-and-down" sawmill dates back to 1744 and is listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places. The privately-owned mill is located on the North Branch of the Raritan River where Kline's Mill Road intersected with River Road before a storm took the bridge out in April,1995. An 1850 map shows the Widow Kline's gristmill, sawmill, and store. Architectural points of interest include a fieldstone foundation, one-story board and batten exterior, and 15-pane single sash windows.
The Major Roads: Interstates 78 and 287, Routes 202 and 206
Mass Transportation: New Jersey Transit's Gladstone Line offers service to Penn Station in midtown Manhattan from the nearby Far Hills station.
Housing: Bedminster's mix of old and new architecture means there are vast choices for buyers. Revolutionary era homes, antique farmhouses, center hall Colonials, equestrian properties, horse farms, luxury real estate, country estates, grand manors, historic homes, condominiums, town houses, duplexes and numerous architectural styles from the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st centuries are all represented, including Federal, Victorian, mid-century modern, Georgian, Colonial, Italianate, Cape Cod and more.Back to top
Real Estate
Bedminster Township has a good mix of housing options ranging from multi-family housing units to multi-million dollar estates. Pottersville, Pluckemin, and Lamington are communities within the township listed on the National Register of Historic Places, each containing key examples of Queen Anne, Federal, Italianate, and Victorian architecture. Rare offerings on the market can include golf course-fronting properties or riverfront homes on the banks of the Lamington or Raritan.
The Hills of Bedminster is a master planned development in Pluckemin set amid 300 acres on Schley Mountain along Route 206 and Interstate 287. Residents living in the 4,000 condominiums, town houses, and single-family homes here take advantage of a shopping center with convenience stores, services, and dining options within walking distance.
Fun fact #1: While The Hills was under construction, nearly 30,000 Colonial artifacts were unearthed from the excavation site. These items include everything from belt buckles and artillery shells to glass bottles and ceramic pieces. The artifacts are among the collections of the Vanderveer/Knox House.
Fun Fact #2: The Pottersville Volunteer Fire Company reports that the village's profitable peach growing industry persuaded the Rockaway Valley Railroad to build a spur to Pottersville in 1888. The beautiful Black River Falls became part of an excursion trip on the Railroad around the turn-of-the-century. The land around Pottersville Glen was made into picnic grounds and an amusement park with a merry-go-round, dance pavilion, and refreshment stand. Some visitors came from Jersey City and usually stayed at the Pottersville Hotel. Failure of the peach crop eventually resulted in the end of the Rockaway Railroad, although one Pottersville resident remembers the park open as late as 1920.Back to top

- hm, what can I say about myself without sounding like a show-off? actually not much, because I am so great :P
I am... different. It isn't quite easy to explain what's different about me, but I am sure everyone will agree. that sometimes makes communication with me difficult. for example: our teacher was explaining us to manage our time, so that we could do our work in less time and therefore gain more spare time. I said that in my opinion, the better way to generate more spare time, would be enjoying your work and take it lightly, because that way your work time becomes your spare time. at that moment I could see and hear everywhere how the rest was thinking "huh, what's wrong wit that kid?" on the other hand, I don't understand other people very well sometimes. first of all, I will understand nothing if the syntax and punctuation aren't correct. orthography also helps. the second point: when I say two things and then you say "that was good", then I usually won't know which of those two things you mean. I often ask "sorry, what do you mean by that question?" "sorry, could you say that again in other words" or "what are you referring to?" when I ask something like that, I am not kidding, but I actually didn't get what you mean. I am used to people not understanding me, so I repeat myself sometimes. also I say some stuff twice.
If you have any personal problems, anyone of you can always come to me. I am not a psychologist or something like that, nor I am good with people. but I can listen to what you say and I have been through some strange stuff in my life. also I won't tell anyone and I won't judge you, even if you told me that you raped a child.

Abuse isn't just about bruises. Not all forms of abuse leave bruises where we can see them,What Happens When You Call The Police For Domestic Violence in South Africa . Although physical abuse is terrifying and needs to be addressed immediately there are other forms of abuse that can cause significant damage. One type of abuse that is very difficult for outsiders to detect is financial abuse. Marriage should be a partnership but when one spouse completely dominates the finances to the point that the other spouse has no control and no options financial abuse may be occurring.
What Are Signs of Potential Financial Abuse?
Every married couple handles their finances differently. In some cases one spouse handles the majority of the finances. They manage the accounts, pay the bills and deal with creditors. That does not by itself equal financial abuse.
Financial abuse occurs when one spouse is treated like an irresponsible child and Domestic Violence Hashtags . They are cut off from funds and their knowledge about the couple's finances is severely limited. Some signs of financial abuse include:
•Strict Allowances. This isn't an amount that the spouses have agreed to limit themselves to but is instead a set amount that is grudgingly handed out from one spouse to the other and is all that will be given.
Documents, documents, documents. Written evidence is incredibly strong and can range from credit card bills showing that there is a credit card but that you aren't named on it to emails from your spouse that show the financial abuse.
Other witnesses can be incredibly powerful on your behalf. Financial abuse is hard for people outside the relationship to detect. So when someone credible comes in and tells the judge that it is happening and they can see it the judge will listen and Abuse Therapy Near Me .
What Happens When You Call The Police For Domestic Violence in South Africa ?
We're all capable of abuse when we're frustrated or hurt. We may be guilty of criticizing, judging, withholding, and controlling, but some abusers, including narcissists, take abuse to a different level. Narcissistic Abuse can be physical, mental, emotional, sexual, financial, and/or spiritual. Some types of emotional abuse are not easy to spot, including manipulation. It can include emotional blackmail, using threats and intimidation to exercise control. Narcissists are masters of verbal abuse and manipulation. They can go so far as to make you doubt your own perceptions, called gaslighting.
The Motivation for Narcissistic Abuse
Remember that narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and abuse exist on a continuum, ranging from silence to violence. Rarely will a narcissist take responsibility for his or her behavior. Generally, they deny their actions, and augment the abuse by blaming the victim. Particularly, malignant narcissists aren't bothered by guilt. They can be sadistic and take pleasure in inflicting pain. They can be so competitive and unprincipled that they engage in anti-social behavior. Don't confuse narcissism with anti-social personality disorder.
The objective of narcissistic abuse is power. They act with the intent to diminish or even hurt other people. The most important thing to remember about intentional abuse is that it's designed to dominate you. Abusers' goals are to increase their control and authority, while creating doubt, shame, and dependency in their victims. They want to feel superior to avoid hidden feelings of inferiority. Understanding this can empower you. Like all bullies, despite their defenses of rage, arrogance, and self-inflation, they suffer from shame. Appearing weak and humiliated is their biggest fear. Knowing this, it's essential not to take personally the words and actions of an abuser. This enables you to confront narcissistic abuse.
Mistakes in Dealing with Abuse
When you forget an abuser's motives, you may naturally react in some of these ineffective ways:
1. Appeasement. If you placate to avoid conflict and anger, it empowers the abuser, who sees it as weakness and an opportunity to exert more control.
4. Set Boundaries. Boundaries are rules that govern the way you want to be treated. People will treat you the way you allow them to. You must know what your boundaries are before you can communicate them. This means getting in touch with your feelings, listening to your body, knowing your rights, and learning assertiveness. They must be explicit.
Don't hint or expect people to read your mind.
5. Have Consequences. After setting boundaries, if they're ignored, it's important to communicate and invoke consequences. These are not threats, but actions you take to protect yourself or meet your needs.
6. Be Educative. Research shows that narcissists have neurological deficits that affect their interpersonal reactions. You're best approach is to educate a narcissist like a child. Explain the impact of their behavior and provide incentives and encouragement for different behavior. This may involve communicating consequences. It requires planning what you're going to say without being emotional.
Get Support
To respond effectively requires support. Without it, you may languish in self-doubt and succumb to abusive disinformation and denigration. It's challenging to change your reactions, let alone those of anyone else. Expect pushback when you stand up for yourself. This is another reason why support is essential. You will need courage and consistency. Whether or not the narcissist makes changes, you'll get tools to protect yourself and raise your self-worth that will improve how you feel whether you stay or leave. CoDA meetings and psychotherapy provide guidance and support.
Warning: If you're experiencing physical abuse, expect it to continue or escalate. Get help immediately.

Stopping Domestic Violence - What is the Different Forms of Possible Abuse?
It can be difficult to describe what abuse is and this is because the word 'Abuse' can mean different things to different people. For one person it might relate to emotional pain, for another it might involve physical pain. With there being different degrees of pain and hurt within these two forms of violence.
As a general guideline: this could be behaviour that occurs here and there, without it happening often enough to cause too many problems. Or it could be experienced to such an extreme that one's life becomes unbearable.
In this analysis I am going to be looking at what I currently believe causes abusive behaviour and the type of individual that commits abusive behaviour on a regular basis.
The Dictionary.com Definition
Here, it is described as the following:
• To use wrongly or improperly; misuse: to abuse one's authority.
• To treat in a harmful, injurious, or offensive way: to abuse a horse.
• To abuse one's eyesight; to speak insultingly, harshly, and unjustly to or about; revile; malign.
• To commit sexual assault upon: Obsolete - to deceive or mislead.
My Definition
What comes to mind when I think of abusive, is compromise. When one is abused they are not being respected or treated in a humane way, they are being treated as objects. The abused person's feelings do not register to the abuser and if they are recognised, it is not enough to end the behaviour.
Empathy And Compassion
If one can't feel their own feelings, it is then a lot easier to do destructive things to another. The question is: why wouldn't the abuser have the ability to empathise or to be compassionate with another person?
It is said that the ability to empathise and to be compassionate is developed through caregivers that display the same behaviours to their children. This is also known as healthy mirroring and validation. What also happens through this process is that the child feels noticed and acknowledged, which are of paramount importance for the development of a healthy sense of self.
It could be said that because of their past, the person that displays abusive behaviour is abusing themselves just as much, if not more than they are abusing others. This is because the original abuser has been internalised. And even if the original abuser is not longer alive or around; they still have the potential to exist in the mind of the abuser or abused.
Here the voice exists like a parasite in the mind, merging with the mind and this makes it hard to notice and eliminate.
This shows that it is typically a two way relationship. With people who have been abused being more likely to be attracted to an abuser. If one has been abused in their younger years and it has not been looked at processed, the mind will then continue to associate this as what familiar and safe.
It will also mean that the abused will put up with this behaviour later in life. If this is what they have experienced as a child, one will then think that it is normal and all they deserve.
If one was abused by their own caregivers, it is only normal for them to assume that this is how people are that that the world is therefore unsafe and dangerous. And also that people can't be trusted.
To experience abuse can be extremely traumatising; with the consequences of abuse having the potential to last a life time. Time is said to be one of the greatest healers. Being around supportive people that one can feel safe around and who can listen without judgement is equally important.
This could be in the form of friends, family or a therapist. Here they will listen and acknowledge what is being said without judgement or blame. This is a process that cannot be rushed, and will happen in its own time and when one is ready to face what has happened. There is not a right or wrong time, only the time when one feels ready to undertake such an important step.

The Underachieving School
(Pitman, 1969, Sentient Publications, 2005)
This is a collection of essays, book reviews, speeches and articles written by Holt in the late sixties. Some of its essays, especially "Schools Are Bad Places for Children" and "Making Children Hate Reading," are reprinted in language arts text books as examples of expository and persuasive writing. —Pat Farenga.
Excerpts from THE UNDERACHIEVING SCHOOL
QUESTION: (from the editors of Education News, New York City) "If America's schools were to take one giant step forward this year toward a better tomorrow, what should it be?
ANSWER: "It would be to let every child be the planner, director, and assessor of his own education, to allow and encourage him, with the inspiration and guidance of more experienced and expert people, and as much help as he asked for, to decide what he is to learn, when he is to learn it, how he is to learn it, and how well he is learning it. It would be to make our schools, instead of what they are, which is jails for children, into a resource for free and independent learning, which everyone in the community, of whatever age, could use as much or as little as he wanted."—JOHN HOLT True Learning
True learning - learning that is permanent and useful, that leads to intelligent action and further learning - can arise only out of the experience, interests, and concerns of the learner.
Every child, without exception, has an innate and unquenchable drive to understand the world in which he lives and to gain freedom and competence in it. Whatever truly adds to his understanding, his capacity for growth and pleasure, his powers, his sense of his own freedom, dignity, and worth may be said to be true education. Education is something a person gets for himself, not that which someone else gives or does to him.
What young people need and want to get from their education is: one, a greater understanding of the world around them; two, a greater development of themselves; three, a chance to find their work, that is, a way in which they may use their own unique tastes and talents to grapple with the real problems of the world around them and to serve the cause of humanity.
Our society asks schools to do three things for and to children: one, pass on the traditions and higher values of our own culture; two, acquaint the child with the world in which he lives; three, prepare the child for employment and, if possible, success. All of these tasks have traditionally been done by the society, the community itself. None of them is done well by schools. None of them can or ought to be done by the schools solely or exclusively. One reason the schools are in trouble is that they have been given too many functions that are not properly or exclusively theirs. Schools should be a resource, but not the only resource, from which children, but not only children, can take what they need and want to carry on the business of their own education. Schools should be places where people go to find out the things they want to find out and develop the skills they want to develop. The child who is educating himself, and If he doesn't no one else will, should be free, like the adult, to decide when and how much and in what way he wants to make use of whatever resources the schools can offer him. There are an infinite number of roads to education; each learner should and must be free to choose, to find, to make his own. Children want and need and deserve and should be given, as soon as they want it, a chance to be useful in society. It is an offense to humanity to deny a child, or anyone of age, who wants to do useful work the opportunity to do it. The distinction, indeed opposition, we have made between education and work is arbitrary, unreal, and unhealthy. Unless we have faith in the child's eagerness and ability to grow and learn, we cannot help and can only harm his education. —1968
Dear Dr. Bliss: ... I think children learn better when they learn what they want to learn when they want to learn it, and how they want to learn it, learning for their own curiosity and not at somebody else's order. I believe that learning would be greatly improved if we could completely or at least largely abolish the fixed curriculum in its present sense. I do not believe that testing and grading form any inherent or useful function in learning; in fact, they corrupt and impede the learning process. I am altogether opposed to any kind of so-called ability grouping in school. I think that in many more cases than not it is the act of instruction itself that impedes learning and nowhere else more than in the field of reading; in short, I feel that children would learn to read better and more easily if they were not taught. I think we need to find ways to get more people into the schools who are not teachers. I do not think it is helpful to have children spend all their time with people who have no other concerns than children. I would like to see streams of people coming into the schools who are there to talk about their outside life and work in the world. I would also like to see children encouraged and helped to use the resources of the world outside the school to further their learning. I believe that compulsory school attendance no longer serves a useful function, either to schools, teachers or students, and that it should be done away with or greatly modified. I think we have made education, which should be something that helps young people move into the world and do useful work there, into an enormous obstacle standing in their way, and I think we need to find ways to remove that obstacle. In short, I am opposed to all kinds of credential requirements as preconditions for doing work. I think we should remove every possible obstacle between any child and any gainful or useful contribution he wants to make to society. Everything we say and do tends to separate learning from living, and we should try instead to join them together... Sincerely yours, JOHN HOLT

If You're a Defensive-Minded Investor You Should Consider American Electric Power
It's no secret that the economy in the United States is far from booming. We're still struggling with persistently high unemployment and frustratingly slow economic growth. And yet, the stock market as measured by the S&P 500 Index soared some 30% last year. For risk-averse investors who think the stock market's rally may have gotten ahead of itself, now might be the time to get defensive.
Conservative investors, as well as those who prefer to receive steady income from their investments, would do themselves a favor by considering buying stocks in sectors of the economy that are relatively insulated against economic downturns. One such sector is electric utilities, many of which are pillars of stability thanks to their reliable profits and juicy dividend yields. Specifically, American Electric Power definitely fits the bill.
Slow and steady wins the race
American Electric Power isn't likely to be featured in the financial media any time soon as the next hot stock story of the day. It operates a fairly boring business model, and doesn't promise investors get-rich-quick type of growth. On the other hand, that may be exactly what makes American Electric Power so valuable, especially in uncertain economic times.
American Electric Power grew its profits from core operations by 5% last year, continuing a long-term trend of producing consistent and reliable earnings. Even when the economy in the United States was brought to the brink of collapse during the depths of the Great Recession, American Electric generated stable profits and continued to pay dividends to shareholders.
This stands to reason, of course, since consumers have little choice but to keep the lights on, even when the economy suffers a downturn. This is one of the best features of investing in a utility stock. Its product is quite literally something people can't do without.
These are the same characteristics that have allowed utilities like American Electric and Consolidated Edison to maintain impressive track records of rewarding shareholders. Consolidated Edison recently upped its dividend for the 40th consecutive year, and owes its dividend track record to its reliable business model. It increased profits from continuing operations by 1% last year.
Consider how well American Electric performed, even during the worst years of the recession. American Electric grew its net income by 26% in 2008, then suffered just a 1.6% decline in net income in 2009. These represented the worst years of the financial crisis, and yet, American Electric sailed through unscathed.
American Electric Power's results compare favorably to Exelon , which saw much more volatility in its operations than utility investors probably prefer. Exelon functions in a different model of electricity generation than American Electric, which explains the variation in its underlying results. Exelon is a major nuclear operator, and poor pricing in that market resulted in highly fluctuating earnings last year.
Exelon swung to a loss in the first quarter last year, but to its credit, has recovered somewhat since then. Still, its core operating profits fell 7% last year. And, Exelon doesn't see an improvement occurring this year. At the midpoint of its guidance, management forecasts a 4% decline in operating profits in 2014.
This stands in stark contrast to American Electric, which maintains a long-term future target of 4%-6% earnings growth, driven by transmission growth, investment in its infrastructure, and cost cuts.
The Foolish bottom line
The U.S. economy is five years removed from the heart of the Great Recession, but we still live in an uncertain time. Economic growth is still frustratingly low, and with the stock market roaring to new all-time highs recently, it's not entirely unreasonable to ask whether the market is a bit frothy. If you think we're on the brink of a downturn, utility stocks could be a suitable place to ride out the storm. One utility that deserves your attention for its remarkable consistency is American Electric Power.
American Electric did a great job navigating the last recession, and has paid uninterrupted dividends for more than 400 consecutive quarters. In fact, American Electric has a great track record of increasing its payout, which indicates its reliability. It gave investors two separate dividend increases last year, and yields a hefty 4%. That's why defensive or risk-averse investors would do well by considering American Electric Power.
It's hard to compete with utilities on yield, but these 3 companies sure can

WASHINGTON - Osama bin Laden's spokesman and son-in-law has been captured by the United States, officials said Thursday, in what a senior congressman called a "very significant victory" in the ongoing fight against al-Qaida.
Abu Ghaith's extradition to the United States is imminent, and he is expected to be prosecuted in federal court in New York, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.
Rep. Peter King, the former chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, credited the CIA and FBI with catching al-Qaida propagandist Sulaiman Abu Ghaith in Jordan within the last week. He said the capture was confirmed to him by U.S. law enforcement officials.
A Jordanian security official confirmed that al-Ghaith was handed over last week to U.S. law enforcement officials under both nations' extradition treaty. He declined to disclose other details and spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
"Definitely, one by one, we are getting the top echelons of al-Qaida," said King, R-N.Y. "I give the (Obama) administration credit for this: it's steady and it's unrelenting and it's very successful."
Abu Ghaith became an international name in late 2001 when he appeared on pan-Arab satellite television urging Muslims everywhere to fight the United States and warning of more attacks similar to those of Sept. 11. In one video, he was sitting with bin Laden in front of a rock face in Afghanistan. A teacher and mosque preacher in Kuwait, he was stripped of his Kuwaiti citizenship after 9/11.
He is identified as a major al-Qaida core official by the New America Foundation think tank in Washington. King said Abu Ghaith was involved in the planning in the 9/11 attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
The Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported that Abu Ghaith was passing through Jordan, on his way to Kuwait, shortly after leaving Turkey.
The newspaper said that Abu Ghaith was taken into custody more than a month ago at a luxury hotel in in Ankara, the Turkish capital. But Turkish officials decided he had not committed any crime in Turkey, and released him, the newspaper reported.
In Ankara, Turkish officials refused to confirm Abu Ghaith's deportation or his capture in Jordan to The Associated Press. In Amman, the Jordanian capital, a security official said he had no information on the CIA arrest in Jordan.
U.S. intelligence officials in Washington and New York refused to comment on the case.
Associated Press writer Tom Hayes in New York and Jamal Halaby in Amman, Jordan, contributed to this report.

RALEIGH, N.C. - Lawyers representing a U.S. Army general facing sexual assault charges are asking a military judge to force prosecutors to turn over any e-mails related to the case sent or received by former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
A court martial is set to begin next month at Fort Bragg for Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair on charges including forcible sodomy, indecent acts, violating orders and adultery.
In a motion filed Tuesday as part of a pre-trial hearing, lawyers for Sinclair argue top Pentagon brass were receiving regular updates last year on the investigation and may have encouraged subordinates to make an example of Sinclair. They are also seeking any minutes from any meetings about the case attended by Panetta, then the military's top civilian leader.
It is unlawful in the military justice system for senior commanders to interfere in prosecutorial decisions and Sinclair's lawyers are seeking to have the case against him dismissed.
Two of Sinclair's commanders, Gen. Dan Allyn and Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Colt, testified at a hearing earlier this month that there was no such pressure. Both generals testified they relied solely on their best judgment in deciding to charge and prosecute Sinclair.
In a separate motion, meanwhile, Sinclair's lawyers sought to have some of the general's own emails suppressed at trial.
Sinclair briefly took the witness stand at the hearing Tuesday to talk about his use of a military computer in his office in Afghanistan, as well as compliance with password policies. It was the first time he has testified in the case.
A female captain who worked for Sinclair testified at an evidentiary hearing last year that she carried on a three-year affair with her married superior. She said that when she tried to end the relationship Sinclair threatened her and on two occasions physically forced her to perform oral sex.
The Associated Press does not publically identify the victims of alleged sexual assaults.
Prosecutors have suggested emails from the government-owned computer will show Sinclair threatened his accuser.
Sinclair testified that he had an expectation that any personal messages sent on the computer would remain private. The general said other members of his staff also used his computer to communicate with friends and family at home, due to limited access to the Internet in the war zone.
The prosecution countered with testimony that anyone who gets a military email account in Afghanistan has to sign a user agreement waiving privacy expectations. Sinclair said he couldn't recall ever signing such an agreement.
Military judge Col. James Pohl did not immediately rule on the motions. Sinclair's trial is scheduled to begin July 16.

Falling rocks and dirt caused big problems this weekend for drivers on Highway 1 in Monterey County where two separate slides blocked the scenic highway.
One slide happened about 17 miles north from the Monterey County -- San Luis Obispo County line. A second one happened about ten miles north that.
Suffice it to say that driving up from Southern California on the coastal route was a bad idea this weekend.
The California Department of Transportation provided escorts so people could get through the area, but at a snails pace.
Drivers headed south reported waits of up to two hours.
There was no immediate word when the road will reopen in both directions.
A rock slide also caused problems in Northern California near the Humboldt-Siskiyou County line. The rocks shut down both directions of Highway 96. The slide happened during heavy rains. The downpour was a big enough threat that officials closed 96 ahead of the slide as a precaution. Because the road was closed, no one was hurt.
California Department of Transportation spokeswoman Julie East says an estimated 40,000 cubic yards, or 2,000 truck loads, of rock fell on to the road near the community of Orleans Saturday morning. Highway 96 connects to Interstate 5.

Celtic Cross Tattoos
Celtic Crosses are often sourced from standing stone monuments. To learn more about ancient stone art as tattoo inspiration, visit the Standing Stone Tattoos page, and visit the Celtic Cross Section of the LuckyFish Art Tattoo Flash Store.
Forearm Celtic Sleeve Tattoos
Quite unusual and striking in effect, these arm patterns with Celtic knots wrapped around them in a seamless knot are a huge technical challenge. Using a combination of computer manipulation and hand grid drawing to create the stencil, then adjusting to fit by adapting and drawing directly on the body, it is a slow process but the result is very dynamic. We have built a separate page exclusively about this kind of Tattoo: Celtic Sleeves, Tattoo Armor, and Full Knotwork Coverage Tattoos. You can also visit the Forearm Sleeve Section of the LuckyFish Art Tattoo Flash Store to purchase downloadable templates.
Celtic Knot Tattoos
Celtic Knots often began as illustrations in ancient books. Visit the Illuminated Manuscript Tattoos page for more information about these historically sourced tattoos. Visit the Celtic Knot Section of the LuckyFish Art Tattoo Flash Store.
Celtic Band Tattoos
Many band tattoo designs were once borders on the sides of illuminated manuscript pages, but they can also be sourced from patterns incised into metal armor or carved on memorial high crosses or Pictish stones. Carefully sized to fit the arm, leg, wrist or ankle, they are permanent art that can never be lost of stolen. Visit the Celtic Band Section of the LuckyFish Art Tattoo Flash Store.
Animal Celtic Tattoos - 'Zoomorphics'
When using the Celtic Style to portray animals, the goal is expressive stylization, not representationalism. Capturing the essence of the creature, translating it with the intricacy of knotwork, adding a new level of artistic interest while evoking the spirit. Visit the Animals Section of the LuckyFish Art Tattoo Flash Store. To read about real-life Celtic Dogs visit Pat's Irish Wolfhounds Page.
Full Leg Celtic Tattoos
Filling the entire body part with the look of chain mail armor, or with creatures wrapping the surface, tattoos on legs can command a challenging and rewarding sculptural form and make a dynamic statement. Visit the Leg Wrap Section of the LuckyFish Art Tattoo Flash Store.
Spiral Celtic Tattoos
The spiral is the single most evocative symbol that is found in Celtic art. The single, double and triple spirals flow through the different expressions of the creative spirit. Bringing to mind the flow of energy and time, the spiral returns to source and is a visual embodiment of the path to wisdom. Visit the Celtic Spiral Section of the LuckyFish Art Tattoo Flash Store.
Celtic Tattoo Flora - Celtic Tree of Life and More
The Celtic Tree of Life and shamrock are well known symbols for the nature loving spirit of the many Celtic Nations. It is also a pleasure to explore melding elements of knotwork or spirals into other vegetative forms, adding details in the style to personal affinity with a particular representative of the plant realm. Visit the Flora Section of the LuckyFish Art Tattoo Flash Store.

The Trail Blazers seem to have some magic about them this season. Knocking on the door of the playoff picture, Portland overcame a 21-point second-half deficit to pull out a last-second win over Dallas, thanks to a pair of unlikely sharpshooters. Nicolas Batum tied the game with a rushed three with 28 seconds left, and after Dirk Nowitzki answered with a would-be dagger, Lamarcus Aldridge hit his first three-pointer of the season to tie it up again. After O.J. Mayo was whistled for a charge, the Blazers had 1.5 seconds left to make something happen. Inbounds to Aldridge, turnaround jumper, game.
Aldridge was named to his second All-Star Game last week, and not even scoring five points in five seconds can phase his teammates.
"I knew he was going to make it," Batum said.
"He was smiling like a rookie, like his first NBA game. We needed those two shots. They show people that he really is an All-Star. He is an All-Star. He's a go-to guy."
With the win, the Blazers are back above .500 and just one game out of the eighth seed in the West.

Places to Shop in DC
Tysons Corner is hard to beat for mall shopping.
Recommend visiting the Elizabeth Stone Gallery in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. The gallery specializes in children's book illustration and features original art, limited editions, prints, and children's books. One of the representated illustrators is Gennady Spirin. His original art work from SIMEON'S GIFT, written by Julie Andrews (a keynote speaker this year) and Emma Walton Hamilton, will be on exhibit and available for purchase. Great opportunity to acquire very collectible and beautiful art! I checked and Elizabeth will be open extended hours on Thursday, June 21 - Wednesday, June 27 from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm. She also said special transportation arrangements can be made for groups of 10 or more with advance notice. Otherwise, the gallery is easily accessible by metro; it is only a few blocks from the King Street Metro on the yellow/blue line. A very cool find and opportunity since the conference is going to be in Washington, D.C. this year! www.elizabethstonegallery.com

Frank Pinedale needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 42 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.

Misfits, and hooligans
Files should be delivered in vector files, preferably high quality AI.
Brief: Dwarf vs. Dog
The assignment is very straight forward. I have attached a design of a Man fighting a lion. the scene depicts a muscular greek looking man holding down a lion by the lions mane/ears.
I would like the designers to keep the same design type, stylistic theme, and replace the lion with a dog (open to any breed, preferably an aggressive mid to large sized breed) and to replace the man with a dwarf, or to give them man the proportions of sturdy and strong dwarf. So the dwarf should be dominating the dog in the same way of the original i submitted.
The second, element of the project is the same, but having the dog dominate the dwarf, by having the dwarf on his back and the dog on the dwarf neck. same style just a different scene.
I am very happy with the style and deco feel so try to stick as close to the original as you can.
PS. I have attached a second graphic depicting a dwarf against a pit bull for reference only

We had a small group today – about half the kids went up to Point Reyes with their families for a Brightworks camping trip, and the rest of us did fun stuff at school! Henry and his dad made lunch, the Goats went on a bike ride with Josh, the two Flying Fish and a Ninja Cat went to the California Academy of Sciences with Mackenzie and I to learn about the animal skulls they found in yesterday's owl pellets, and the remaining Ninja Cats worked on their own independent projects: a pioneer wagon and a Maker Bot.

September 24, 2012 | Car Accidents
September 23, 2012
GREENCASTLE, Ind. (AP) — Indiana State Police say a mother and toddler from Mississippi have died in a fiery crash at a road construction site on Interstate 70 west of Indianapolis. Police identified the two killed Friday as 49-year-old Emma Bronson and her 3-year-old daughter Zacchia Bronson, of Pascagoula, Miss. The child's father, 47-year-old Michael Bronson, was treated at a hospital and released. The drivers of the semi and the pickup remained hospitalized Saturday. Investigators say eastbound traffic was stopped for construction when a semitrailer struck a pickup truck in the rear, knocking it off the road, then plowed into the rear of the Bronsons' car, which burst into flames and struck a fourth vehicle. Police and passersby were unable to revive the woman and child. The highway was closed for about four hours.

I went to a shiva call and got a lesson in laxatives.
I went to a shiva call and got a lesson in laxatives.
It's not the usual topic for discussion when folks pay their respects to a family who lost a loved one.
Then again, I don't know of any topic worth discussing when looking into the eyes of a parent having to bury a child.
I wish that on no one.
And yet there was an urgent need for frivolity. A surreal stretch that called for a real Three Stooges, this-makes-no-sense moment.
So it might as well be about laxatives.
It was when my friends and I sought to breathe. To smile. To shed tears of laughter and relief after hours of misery and hurt. It's easy to drown in that much sorrow.
Making a shiva call is like going to a wake.
At its core, the overwhelming motive is to help a grieving family cope with death. To provide some comfort. For my people, providing comfort means to provide comfort food.
OK, we don't really need a reason for the food, but it does help.
Rotating between the need to reminisce and express our feelings of remorse, there was the ample exchange of recipes for cakes and cookies, appetizers and entrees, different dips and what to dip in the dip.
It's never about what wine goes with what food; more like what food goes with what food.
Said one lady in her funeral-service attire, "I've got such a recipe for cinnamon rolls ... calls for enough butter it would make Paula Dean sick."
It was soon becoming a debate on which dish could clog an artery the quickest.
Another well-meaning mourner piped up about a sticky thing she called "Monkey Bread" that oozes with warm caramel, cinnamon and cream cheese.
Now that's comforting food.
Messy. But comforting.
Seconds later we'd share a story about the young person we loved and had suddenly lost. It's not fair. Not right. No justification. No reasonable explanation. The story would end. Then silence.
"We'll want macaroni and cheese, but I saw this new recipe in Martha Stewart magazine with lots of different cheeses. ..."
"I heard about that, cheddar and Parmesan, but the question is do we want to reheat the cheese and then put on the bread crumbs?"
"But can we serve that with cold cuts? The rabbi might be coming."
Another thing to ponder.
That heated debate on reheating went on for nearly 20 minutes, deviating just long enough for someone to get a crack in about Martha making macaroni and cheese.
It was better than a hug.
The food we ate — and it never stopped coming through the door — seemed to help everyone digest the horrible reality of the day.
This was just before Thanksgiving.
No one had to say it, but it broke our hearts to wonder how our friends could ever be thankful for anything.
And yet at the end they thanked us for what we did. All the food. All our love.

Source Claims Kanye West + Kim Kardashian Will Most Likely Break Up Before the Baby Is Born
Trouble in paradise -- if you can describe their relationship like that -- for Kimye. The latest rumor is that that Kanye West and baby mama Kim Kardashian will break up before their baby is born in early summer. Gasp! Oh, the humanity.
A friend of the reality show star expressed concerns that the couple won't last and will have parted ways by the time their bundle o' joy arrives.
"We just do not understand why she is traveling to Paris to see him, she is the pregnant one," the worried friend said. "Kanye will fly in to see the editors of 'Vogue,' but he won't fly in to see the lady carrying his child."
That's a contrast to recent reports that he flies in for her doctor's visits via private jet. Still, they should be together during the gestation, shouldn't they?
The source also said, "The only way they have a future is if Kim continues to do whatever he says."
Sounds like a modern update on that whole "barefoot and pregnant" concept. 'Ye's being all 'Heartless.'
Pals think Yeezy is being selfish by recording his new album abroad while Kimmy is babied up. He also reportedly blamed her for smashing his forehead into a street sign.
"He told her that she should have guided him out of the way," another friend said. "He treats her like his assistant. She is putting up with it at the moment but eventually she will say enough!"
Hmm, drama, drama, drama with his baby mama.
At least we can congratulate Kim for maintaining this relationship for more than 72 days, which was the length of her last marriage.
Somewhere, Ray J. is having a chuckle, since, you know, he hit it first.

NEW YORK (AP) — The makes of the "Grand Theft Auto" video games say Lindsay Lohan sued to get attention when she asserted the games' latest installment features a character based on her.
In Manhattan court papers made public Tuesday, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and subsidiary Rockstar Games call the case frivolous and maintain it was "filed for publicity purposes." They want it dismissed and want the "Mean Girls" star to pay their legal fees.
Lohan's lawyer didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
Lohan sued in July over "Grand Theft Auto V." Her suit says the game uses her image, voice and styles and evokes her via a character named Lacey Jonas .
Take-Two says her voice, name and likeness aren't used, and the character resembles her only in being a young, blonde woman.

By Jim Polson and Mark Chediak
Bloomberg News
Seconds after a power failure shut down last year's Super Bowl game in New Orleans, Bill Labos's phone in New Jersey began vibrating with calls.
"My BlackBerry almost fell out of my pocket," said Labos, who works for the electric utility charged with preventing a repeat of the blackout at this year's National Football League championship between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos outside New York City.
"We can't let that happen here," Labos was told by his boss, Ralph LaRossa, president of Newark, New Jersey-based Public Service Enterprise Group (PEG)'s utility.
In the 12 months since, Labos has worked with stadium engineers, consultants and New Jersey sports officials to be sure it doesn't.
Power failures have plagued at least four high-profile sports games including the Super Bowl since 2010, dimming the glow of good feelings such events are supposed to generate for their host cities. More than 108 million people watched the blackout debacle at the New Orleans Superdome.
"We were, in a way, robbed of a celebration of a successful Super Bowl," Doug Thornton, Superdome general manager, said in an interview this month.
Because the 2013 blackout was blamed on a failed switch, electrical equipment inside and outside the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, has been inspected, upgraded, backed-up and tested repeatedly to make sure all systems — from high-voltage cables to circuit breakers — are as fail-proof as possible.
Successful Tests
"There are redundancies to our redundancies," Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for the NFL, based in New York, said in a telephone interview.
In September, Labos supervised a 12-hour full-power test at MetLife Stadium simulating the Super Bowl.
"Nothing tripped. We're confident we are going to withstand the load," he said.
Power struggle: Interest groups point fingers over Texas' near-blackout
There are still worst-case scenarios, led by bad weather. The 48th Super Bowl, to be played on Feb. 2, will be the first to be held outdoors in a cold-weather state. Overhead lines into the sports complex could be damaged by ice and high winds, Labos said. The NFL has said it's prepared to move the game date by a day or two to avoid a severe storm.
Electricity flows into the New Jersey sports complex's high-voltage network on lines with multiple backups, Labos said. To the stadium itself, however, there are just two feeder lines, and half the lights would go out should either one of those fail, he said. In such a case, switching over all the power to the surviving line would take no more than five seconds — still enough to delay the game.
Reboot Delay
In a January test, the gridiron lights needed 12 minutes to cool, then brighten to full brilliance. Operators of "game critical" computer equipment, including the communications used by coaches to call plays, have been told to provide battery backups so they can restart immediately. That precaution was overlooked at the Superdome, Labos said, contributing to a delay that extended 34 minutes.
Thornton, executive vice president of stadiums at SMG, the company that manages the Superdome for the state of Louisiana, was gathered with NFL executives in the league's command center last year when half the sports complex went dark. A disbelieving Thornton stared up at the bank of lights that had just blinked off on the west side of the Superdome.
"No, no, this can't be happening," he recalled thinking. "Then immediately we start to drill down: What's the cause and how can it be fixed."
Power Draw
Even after a tripped switch was discovered and the lights came back on, Thornton remained nervous because he didn't yet know the cause of the problem. To avoid another blackout, he started cutting power demand, including shutting off compressors for the air conditioning system.
It took 12 minutes to restore full power to the Superdome and another 22 minutes to restart the electrical system and restore the lights to full brilliance, Michael J. Burns, a spokesman for Entergy, said yesterday in an e-mailed message.
Scrutinizing utilities: New blackout rules lead to millions in fines
Entergy had spent $4.2 million improving the Superdome's electrical system before the game and the equipment worked without incident at three major events and during multiple tests a week before the game, he said.
Public Service, the New Jersey utility, expects the Super Bowl to use as much as 20 megawatts of power for lighting, scoreboards, video displays, cooking, communications and other uses, similar to other large stadium sporting events. That's roughly enough electricity to power 16,000 average homes. Portable generators provide electricity for the halftime show, parking lot promotional tents and Fox Sports, the game's broadcaster.
Faulty Equipment
Blackouts at the 2013 Super Bowl and at two other major U.S. sporting events in the past three years were traced to faulty utility equipment. Game three of baseball's American League Championship Series in Detroit was delayed for nearly 20 minutes in October after a power cable failed, said DTE Energy Co., the company responsible for supplying electricity to the stadium.
A Monday night NFL game in San Francisco in December 2011 was twice delayed by power failures at Candlestick Park. A break in a PG&E Corp. power line cut lights to the stadium and delayed the start of the game by 20 minutes, then a second problem with stadium equipment halted the game another 16 minutes. Mayor Ed Lee called it "a national embarrassment."
At the Superdome last year, an electrical relay installed by Entergy Corp. (ETR)'s New Orleans utility to prevent an overload was blamed for the power loss. In March, a consultant hired by Entergy, SMG and the state authority responsible for the Superdome blamed a "design defect" in the device.
Checking Again
An improperly set relay and a loose wire caused blackouts during a regular season NFL game at MetLife stadium in 2010, Labos said. During Super Bowl preparations, specialists from Public Service, the state sports authority, MetLife Stadium and EnerNex LLC, an independent engineering firm, have confirmed proper settings on relays and inspected for loose wires with an infrared camera.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has made it clear he'll tolerate no glitches that mar the state's chance to shine during the most-watched annual television event in the U.S. He was sitting next to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell last year when the lights went out at the Superdome, and immediately promised that if a similar goof-up happened this year, the bodies of those responsible would be "strewn in the parking lot."
Bill Labos and LaRossa at the New Jersey power company would probably be first among the parking lot carnage if a blackout disaster is repeated. They're not worried that will happen.
But just in case, "We've checked with our lawyers," LaRossa said. "Both Bill and I are covered under workers' compensation."

SOMERSWORTH — A Strafford County Superior Court judge will review bail conditions for a man facing two counts of negligent homicide in connection with a head-on collision that killed a new bride and severely injured her husband.
Appearing disheveled with a scraggly beard and wearing jail issued clothing, Matthew Tsopas, 43, of Somersworth was brought into the courtroom Wednesday morning for a probable cause hearing. Through his attorney, Timothy Harrington, Tsopas waived probable cause, but requested changes in his bail conditions.
Tsopas has been held in the Strafford County House of Corrections since July 23 after he was released from Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover. In addition to the bride and groom, Tsopas was also injured in the horrific crash on Route 4 in Rollinsford on Saturday, July 20. Tsopas is accused of driving drunk after leaving the Rollinsford American Legion minutes before the crash.
Harrington requested bail be lowered from the original $250,000 cash to $75,000 cash or bond.
Harrington requested other stipulations including: monitoring by Strafford County Community Corrections; the use of a Breathalyzer to check on Tsopas' sobriety; submitting to random drug testing; and wearing a GPS monitoring, if deemed appropriate.
Harrington suggested his client would be open to other bail conditions that the judge felt would increase the safety of the community.
"My client has very strong ties in this community," Harrington said, noting he has held steady employment for more than 10 years and has lived in the local area his entire life.
Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi laid out the alleged details of what he said happened the night of the accident that killed Leah Fonda Preiss, 30, of St. Paul, Minn.
According to Velardi, Tsopas was "unruly" at a bar, where a witness saw Tsopas over consuming alcohol and pills. Toxicology reports later found Tsopas had alcohol and several controlled drugs in his system.
According to a state police affidavit, Tsopas assaulted an employee and another individual at the Rollinsford American Legion at 319 Foundry St. and struck four cars in the parking lot with his Infiniti as he was leaving.
Velardi said after Tsopas struck the vehicles he proceeded down Route 4 and attempted to pass another vehicle before the head-on crash that resulted in the almost immediate death of Preiss.
Velardi indicates Tsopas then emerged from his vehicle and ran through the woods while removing articles of clothing. Velardi says a "good Samaritan" interceded and police were able to seize Tsopas after a struggle.
Velardi said Tsopas was then brought to the Wentworth-Douglass Hospital for crash-related injuries where he needed to be medically sedated and guarded by police.
The judge said the state would now be required to provide sufficient evidence that Tsopas committed the offenses he is charged with. The judge took no action on the bail request.
Man charged with new bride's death seeks bail reduction

Teenage recruit Graham's life was ruined on the night he was raped twice at a West Australian naval training base and he's lived with the trauma ever since.
The appalling abuse of Graham and other junior sailors as young as 15 was all too common at HMAS Leeuwin, the Defence Abuse Response Taskforce (DART) says.
Their stories could now be referred to the ongoing royal commission into child sex abuse, with many parallels to the effects of abuse by pedophile priests and others emerging from the hearings.
Events at HMAS Leeuwin, which operated from 1960 to 1984 and trained more than 13,000 sailors, had been examined before.
But a DART report released on Wednesday, based on personal accounts of more than 200 former junior recruits, concludes that abuse was much more serious and widespread than previously acknowledged.
Defence either knew or should have known but failed to take appropriate action, taskforce chair Len Roberts-Smith said.
The abuse, perpetrated by other recruits and staff through a brutal hierarchy, included physical assaults, painful and humiliating initiation practices and serious sexual abuse.
Former junior recruits told of being scrubbed daily with sandsoap until their skin bled, being held down while boot polish was smeared onto their genitals or an object such as a mop handle was forced into their anus, or having a vacuum cleaner forcibly applied to their genitals.
And that's had lasting consequences.
"I have terror every day. I can't get it out of my mind. I hate nights. I can't sleep. I'm not a healthy man. I'm a complete mess mentally. I've never felt like a complete man," Graham, now 61, recounted on Wednesday.
Much of the abuse went unreported or unpunished.
"By sharing their stories with the taskforce, former junior recruits have broken a long and painful silence," Mr Roberts-Smith said in a statement.
Defence Minister David Johnston said he was disturbed by what happened at Leeuwin and moved by the courage of those telling their stories.
"These are things that should never happen - to anyone - and not least to some 200 children who were under our care," he said.
Defence force chief General David Hurley said what happened at HMAS Leeuwin was abhorrent and should not have occurred.
Navy chief Vice Admiral Ray Griggs said that Navy deeply regretted what happened.
"No person who wears the uniform of our armed forces should ever have to endure what these boys endured. Importantly some of those in positions of responsibility failed to intervene and consequently become part of the negative culture," he said.
"To those individuals affected, I offer the reassurance that such behaviour is not tolerated and is dealt with swiftly in today's Navy."
Mr Roberts-Smith said that what happened at HMAS Leeuwin would fit the remit of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
Senator Johnston said many of the allegations did fall within the terms of reference of the royal commission.
With the agreement of former HMAS Leeuwin recruits, the taskforce will refer their stories to the commission.
The Roberts-Smith taskforce was formed to examine some 2400 historical allegations of abuse within defence. One in 10 relate to events at HMAS Leeuwin.
