Pennsylvania House of Representatives Select Committee on Student Academic Freedom
September 19, 2005
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives brought together a committee to examine allegations that Pennsylvania's public universities were plagued by liberal ideology and indoctrination. David A. French, at the time president of FIRE, served as a legal adviser to the panel. FIRE released FIRE Report on the First Amendment Responsibilities of Pennsylvania State-Funded Colleges and Universities, explaining that Pennsylvania universities are bound to follow the strictures of the U.S. and Pennsylvania Constitutions, notably to respect the expressive rights of students and faculty members, to protect religious liberty on campus, and to protect freedom of conscience on campus.» Read More
Bucks County Community College: Ideological Loyalty Oath for Professors
February 22, 2001
Professor of Sociology Myles Kelleher contacted FIRE after discovering that applicants for new faculty (and other) positions at Bucks County Community College (BCCC) would be required to "provide a brief statement of your commitment to diversity and how this commitment is demonstrated in your work," and to "certify" their understanding that "any false or misleading statement on this application constitutes sufficient grounds for dismissal." FIRE appealed to the court of public and moral opinion and wrote to BCCC's Board of Trustees and its major donors. The story became the focus of local and national. Due to FIRE's efforts this threat […]» Read More
College Catalog: Campus Regulations- Sexual Harassment Policy 09-10
Speech Code Category: Harassment Policies, StatementSexual harassment exists where unwelcome sexual conduct is sufficiently severe or pervasive that it creates a hostile or abusive atmosphere. A discriminatorily abusive work or educational environment can and often will detract from employees' or students' performance, discourage them from remaining at the College, or keep them from advancing in their careers. When the workplace or academic environment is permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of the victim's employment or education and create an abusive working or educational environment, federal law and College policy are violated.

Political Litmus Test for Faculty at Virginia Tech
March 18, 2009
Peter Wood at the National Association of Scholars has drawn attention to a disturbing prospect at Virginia Tech—a requirement that all candidates for tenure and promotion display "active involvement in diversity," threatening the academic freedom and freedom of conscience of Virginia Tech's faculty. This new requirement is reminiscent of FIRE's 2001 case at Bucks County Community College (BCCC), in which BCCC attempted to require applicants for new faculty to "provide a brief statement of your commitment to diversity and how this commitment is demonstrated in your work." Under pressure from FIRE, BCCC dropped the requirement. Of the similar requirement now […]» Read More

H.R.1227 - To limit the application of Federal laws to the distribution and consumption of marihuana, and for other purposes.
how to contact your congressmen http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/
The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2017 would take marijuana off the federal controlled substance list if it is passed.
The release stated that the bill would fulfill a responsibility to create a level playing field across the country.
Statistics indicate that minor narcotics crimes disproportionately hurt areas of lower socio-economic status, and what I find most troubling is that we continue to keep laws on the books that we do not enforce, Garrett said in the release. Virginia is more than capable of handling its own marijuana policy, as are states such as Colorado or California.
This bill originally was introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in 2015, but the legislation died.
Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat representing Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District, is the lead original cosponsor on Garretts legislation.
Garretts bill comes after U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said theres more violence around marijuana than people think.
Sessions is reviewing the previous administrations memo to the Justice Department that gave states flexibility when it comes to passing marijuana laws.
Eight states, as well as the District of Columbia, have legalized recreational marijuana use.

Based on today's appearance, Jerry Manuel said they'd have to find a spot for him among the 12 pitchers he'd take north. But, that's based on today.
Today's real story line was really about Oliver Perez. Manuel has been raving about how he's been throwing this spring. There were two positive signs in today's ugly performance, beginning with no pain in his elbow. He gave up five runs on seven hits and a walk in three innings. But, he was around the plate, throwing 33 of 49 pitches for strikes. That's a positive.
I've been critical of Perez, and he does drive you crazy, but I wrote earlier in spring that I would look at the good from him as a bonus.
I suppose another way of saying that is I don't expect much. That way I can't be disappointed.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus Screens are Silently Deadly
New screenshots have stealthily revealed themselves from behind the shadows, giving us all better glimpses at the action in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus.
The game will be released in a couple of weeks, so why not start mentally-training your ninja skills by studying these new screenshots. The pictures feature Ryu Hyabusa and a few of his more attractive kunoichi friends kicking major tail and facing off against hordes of baddies and demons.
Even on the PlayStation Vita's smaller screen, the graphics look beautiful and crisp, though we'd rather not see all of the details on that weird, Rasputin-looking character down there. We're pretty sure we can see flecks of food in his beard. Gross.
But we're sure that everyone's looking forward to fighting all of these creatures, especially that huge, Tyrannosaurus-like demon with the wee little arms.
Team Ninja and Tecmo Koei are bringing all of this ninja action to PSVs on February 26th, 2013. Keep a good eye out for the game, because we all know how good ninjas are at hiding in plain sight!
Let us know what you think about the game in the comments below!

"No matter whether a road is wet, slushy or snow packed today, road surfaces will mostly likely turn to ice tonight and tomorrow morning. Air and pavement temperatures will be in the teens, which makes salt much less effective. We've said it before but we need to say it again, stay home. Let road crews continue to remove snow without vehicles impeding the process." –Administrator Neil Pedersen, Maryland State Highway Administration
It's been quite a winter ride for us in the Mid Atlantic states – and it ain't over yet. About another foot of snow is currently hitting us, combined with strong gusting winds (from 20 to 45 mph) that will surely force electric utility crews out into the freezing maelstrom.
These conditions, of course, are every day winter fare for many folks living in places such as Montana, Minnesota, etc. Yet those states invest in the equipment, salt supplies, and personnel necessary to do battle with Mother Nature's wintry side. Down here in the Mid Atlantic region, we ain't used to this – and we don't budget for it. That's why it gets so freaky in these parts.
[Here's a view of what this latest wintry blast looks like in Northern Virginia.]
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) estimates it will remove about 500,000 tons of snow from northern Virginia roads over the next several days – the fallout from two big back-to-back blizzards.
[Here's the technical formula VDOT uses to arrive at the number: take 17,000 lane miles in northern Virginia , multiply by 5,260 feet/mile (calculated by 10 feet avg. lane width multiplied by 2 feet snow depth), divide by 27 (to get cubic feet) and that all equals 66,237,037 cubic feet. Then 66,237,037 cubic feet multiplied by 15 lbs. per cubic foot divided by 2,000 to convert into tons equals 496,778 tons of snow removed from roads. Whew! My head hurts!]
Crews and equipment finishing up snow removal in southern Virginia – around the Commonwealth's capital in Richmond and around the Hampton Roads area, which experiences less snowfall – are heading to northern Virginia to assist 1,900 trucks working to get roads cleared.
VDOT said most of the new arrivals – mainly big dump trucks – from the southern region are going to focus on clearing 9,000 lane miles of subdivisions and side streets in Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties. That's because the hundreds of 4x4 pickup trucks VDOT uses in northern Virginia subdivisions for a typical four- to six-inch storm are inadequate to handle the frozen and compacted, deep snow covering most neighborhoods, the agency said.
Snow drifts in some areas are even higher than the subdivision plows, meaning big Class 8 dump trucks are too large to fit through neighborhoods, so VDOT said its crews are using special equipment such as graders, bucket loaders, tandems and backhoes – a very slow and cumbersome process at best, the agency admitted.
Unlike smaller snowfalls, crews are also hauling snow from areas where there is simply nowhere for plows to push, such as along major highways – the Beltway and the I-95/395 high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, where concrete barriers prevent traditional plowing. So VDOT is using large trailers to haul away the white stuff.
The Maryland State Highway Administration (MSHA) is warning that many roads, including sections of interstates, such I-95 and I-495, are still snow packed, so motorists need to remain on alert for varying conditions. Without warning, the agency said, main travel lanes may be narrowed or completed eliminated by encroaching snow. Along secondary roads, especially in urban areas, not all lanes will be open and turn lanes are restricted or piled with snow.
MSHA is also facing the torturous process of removing snow pack, with crews using front end loaders to scrape the ice off the pavement surface and break it up, while plow truck drivers will push the chunks to the side. And even though salt is still being applied to the roads, until temperatures climb above 25 degrees, its effectiveness will be limited.
[It's amazing how much salt costs, too – for example, in fiscal year 2008, MSHA spent over $46.4 MILLION to buy 201,401 tons of road salt. I'm in the wrong business!]
In the end, a long, slow job remains before us to clear all this white stuff outta here so things can get back to normal. Now, time to break out the icy hot and get back to shoveling!

Head coach Ed DeFrancia says the team currently has 13 players, none of whom are seniors.
"We have five juniors, seven sophomores, plus one freshman," DeFrancia said. "But despite being young, we do have playing experience."
Leading the way at the likely No. 1 singles spot will be junior Elijah Stock, who won his opening-round match at last year's state tournament. The remaining Red Devil players are battling each other for the No. 2 and No. 3 varsity singles slots, as well as the four varsity positions in No. 1 and No. 2 doubles.
"Practices are competitive right now, as the boys are all trying to get those varsity spots," DeFrancia said.
In addition to Stock, the team includes four other juniors: Austin Bridges, Dallin Porter, Mack Sherrill, and Alec Tatton. The seven sophomores on the team are Austin Aubry, Tommy DeWitt, Sammy Hansen, Derek Johnson, Cody Jones, Josh Lawley, and River Murdock. The team's lone freshman is Nolan Beeman, who is nevertheless expected to make an impact, DeFrancia said, noting that Beeman has several years of playing experience.
Joining Grand in the seven-team 2A Southern Division this year will be Delta, South Sevier, Manti, Wasatch Academy, San Juan, and Gunnison. Two previous divisional opponents are out of the picture, with Richfield having moved up to the 3A classification and Parowan dropping their program this year due to lack of a coach, DeFrancia said.
"It could be a tough division," DeFrancia said.
After Grand's first match against Carbon at Moab on March 25, the Red Devils will travel to St. George for the annual St. George Invitational tournament on March 28 and 29.
"The Carbon match will be a nice warm-up for us to start off our season, and then when we get to St. George, we'll see some even tougher competition against larger schools," DeFrancia said. "We're looking forward to what should be a fun and competitive season."

Anyone else see Battle Royale? It's a controversial Japanese film by Fukasaku which will probably not get wide theatrical release in the US. Set in the near future, the Japanese government attempts to deal with juvenile dilenquency by setting up an annual lottery in which a class of students is taken to an island to kill each other until only one survives... it's a dark satire with lots of shocking violence, but also a serious exploration of trust and betrayal. I think if it was adults in it, it could be a popular mainstream film, but since it's high schoolers, it's a political hot potato. Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin showed it this weekend to a packed house and said it might not get screened at all in uncut form in the US; this was part of a Fukasaku retrospective film festival. Anyway, my friend & I thought it was quite a good interesting shocking film.

From the notebooks of Stanley Kubrick comes this most excellent list of movie titles that never saw the light of day, but were evidently considered for the film that Kubrick would eventually name Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
There are plenty of mentions of Dr. Strangelove, bombs, and even implications that one should love and cherish said "wonderful bomb," but you won't find the final title in this list. Still, it gives one pause to think how this movie would have been received had Kubrick settled on the decidedly tantalizing title of Dr. Strangelove's Secret Uses of Uranus.
- Doctor Doomsday
- Don't Knock the Bomb
- Dr. Doomsday and his Nuclear Wiseman
- Dr. Doomsday Meets Ingrid Strangelove
- Dr. Doomsday or: How to Start World War III Without Even Trying
- Dr. Strangelove's Bomb
- Dr. Strangelove's Secret Uses of Uranus
- My Bomb, Your Bomb
- Save The Bomb
- Strangelove: Nuclear Wiseman
- The Bomb and Dr. Strangelove or: How to be Afraid 24hrs a Day
- The Bomb of Bombs
- The Doomsday Machine
- The Passion of Dr. Strangelove
- Wonderful Bomb
This transcript of legible title candidates comes courtesy of Lists of Note; the notebook scan itself is via The Stanley Kubrick Archives.

BAKER � There were no surprises at Baker School's Doug Griffith Memorial Stadium on Friday as the undefeated Gators hosted a winless Franklin County team for Homecoming 2013. Baker scored two touchdowns in the first three-and-a-half minutes of play and didn't look back on the way to a 54-13 win.
BAKER � There were no surprises at Baker School's Doug Griffith Memorial Stadium on Friday as the undefeated Gators hosted a winless Franklin County team for Homecoming 2013.
Baker scored two touchdowns in the first three-and-a-half minutes of play and didn't look back on the way to a 54-13 win.
The score was 47-7 at the half and the second half was played with a running clock to help ease the pain of the visiting Seahawks.
The Gators (8-0) scored on all but their last offensive possession. And for good measure Troy Smith returned the interception of a Franklin County pass 55 yards giving Baker a defensive score.
"It was just a good read," Smith said of his score. "Once I caught the ball I just had to take it to the house."
Things started badly for the Seahawks (0-8) when they were forced into a three-and-out on the opening possession of the game. Things got worse when the Franklin County punt didn't make it back to the line of scrimmage and went in the books as a negative six yard kick.
The poor punt set the Gators up at the Franklin County 27-yard line.
Two D.J. Thomas runs later Baker was up 6-0. Malcolm Griffith's extra point made it 7-0 with 8:47 left in the first quarter.
The Seahawks fumbled away the ensuing kick off and David Oglesby recovered the live ball for Baker at the Franklin County 25.
Jon Beck hit Kodi Moen with a 25-yard touchdown pass on the next play as the Gators scored their second touchdown in 16 seconds to go up 14-0.
Before the end of the first quarter Brandon Engler scored from two yards out and Austin Martin scored from on a 23-yard run.
Thomas scored his second touchdown of the game and 21st of the season from 57 yards out with 10:06 left in the half to put the Gators up 35-0.
Thomas' long touchdown run was his last carry of the game as Gator Coach Matt Brunson quickly started to empty the bench and reward backups with some well earned playing time.
Even in limited playing time Thomas came up big rushing for 159 yards on nine carries. Thomas now has 1,480 yards rushing on the season.
The Seahawks broke into the scoring column against the Baker reserves when Alex Causey scored from 48-yards out with 7:38 left in the half.
Another short field set up a 10-yard touchdown pass from Beck to Jonathan Gatewood with 4:58 left in the half.
Smith's pick six with 1:26 left in the half pushed the lead to 47-7.
Baker had 283 yards in total offense in the first half and six different players scored.
The final Gator score on Baker's first offensive play when Beck hit Wilder Kersey with a 38-yard pass. Josh Mayhew added the extra point.
Franklin County fullback Trenton Lee scored from a yard out in the final seconds of the game. The Gators declined a holding penalty against the Seahawks on the previous play, which allowed Franklin County to punch the ball in for the score.
Beck finished the night with 100 yards in total offense as he threw for 73 yards and ran for 27 yards.
The win was nice, but Brunson had already turned his attention to next week's District 1-1A showdown with Northview as the victory celebration was taking place on the field.
"Our guys had a business like approach in the first half and did well like we try to do each week," he said. "We've had an open date before Northview the last couple of years so we wanted to bring an opponent in this year and it went well. Now we will get ready for Northview.
"We are 8-0 and everything we've set out to do we have done. Now we will be playing over and Northview and we invite everybody to come out and support us next week because we will be playing for the district championship and home field advantage in the playoffs.

Lady Gaga performs Born this Way on the Grammy Awards 2011
On May 23rd Lady Gaga released her third album Born this way. The album has a lot to live up to after her two previous highly praised and rewared albums.
Lady Gaga is back with the single "Judas", from the coming album "Born this way". The song was released on 16th april, with a video-release on the fifth of may. The song describes how you can love someone, despite your knowledge of the persons previous bad actions.
The 13th Febuary Lady Gaga released her latest singel "Born this way" from the coming album with the same name "Born this way". The song is written by Lady Gaga herself and Jeppe Laursen. The song is about how we are all equal and that everybody has a chance to fulfill their dreams
Lady Gaga is an American recording artist. Since her debut album "The Fame" was released (on August 19, 2008) her own fame has quickly risen to make her one of the greatest pop stars today. So far, her three singles "Just Dance", "Poker Face" and "Bad Romance", have all topped charts worldwide.
Many people regard Lady Gaga as the new Madonna. That we at last got a superstar of the first decade of the 21st century.
Lady Gaga has sold over 11½ million albums and over 40 million singles worldwide.
At 19, Germanotta had signed with Def Jam Recordings. Through them, she was introduced to the songwriter and producer RedOne, who would have a huge impact on her career.
"The Fame Ball Tour" was Lady Gaga's first own concert tour. She had previously been the opening act for New Kids on the Block as well as the Pussycat dolls. The worldwide "Fame Ball Tour" lasted for 6 months and featured a total of 69 shows.
Lady Gaga recorded her debut album "The Fame" in New York and finished it in Los Angeles. She continued working with the producer RedOne, together they made the singles "Poker Face" and "Just Dance". Commenting the style of the album, Lady Gaga says that they used multiple genres "from Def Leppard drums and hand claps to metal drums on urban tracks".
Lady Gaga's unquestioned musical skills have nothing to do with luck. Four years old, she started to learn how to play the piano. She wrote her first piano ballad when she was 13, and she started performing at open mike nights at 14.
Lady Gaga's second world tour "The Monster Ball Tour" started in November 2009 and still goes on. It was originally meant to be a joint concert tour with rapper Kanye West, but when he dropped out of the project in October 2009, Lady Gaga continued alone.
"Just Dance", the first single from Lady Gaga's debut album "The Fame" was released in fall 2008 and was an immediate success. The song is about Lady Gaga being drunk at a party but instead of caring, she just dances.
Lady Gaga's second single from "The Fame Monster" is about the singer preferring to dance, rather than talking to her lover on the phone. The telephone is in reality a person telling her to continue working harder.
The Single "Paparazzi" was released as the last single from Lady Gaga's debut album "The Fame". The lyrics are written to portray Lady Gaga's own struggles in her quest for fame.
"Poker Face" is Lady Gaga's second single. Lady Gaga claims that bisexuality is the main theme of the song, and that it's a tribute to her past boyfriends.

Stukey doesn't know the Decker family and said she didn't feel right about going to the public visitation or funeral service, so she got the family's consent to hold a candlelight vigil Monday night in the parking lot of Wenner Funeral Home, where officers have been keeping constant guard over Decker's casket.
A police officer who was killed last week in Minnesota in what authorities say was an ambush once helped Lisa Stukey when she feared an intruder was inside her home. So, the Cold Spring woman organized a candlelight vigil so she could thank the officer "one last time."
Officer Tom Decker, 31, was fatally shot Thursday when he and his partner were checking on a report of a man believed to be suicidal. Authorities have said Decker was shot multiple times after he got out of his squad car near a Cold Spring bar. A man was arrested on suspicion of murder, and the investigation is ongoing.
Prosecutors were still considering charges Monday, as authorities continued to search for the shotgun they believe was used as a murder weapon.
"It's just a sad thing for the whole community," said Stukey, who lives near the site where Decker was killed in Cold Spring, a city of about 4,000 people. "I think we're all a little heartbroken."
Stukey, 43, recalled how scared she was when she thought she had an intruder in her home more than a year ago. She called police, and Decker showed up. She said he was conscientious and brave, and didn't make her feel silly when he found a window had simply blown open in the wind.
Stukey doesn't know the Decker family and said she didn't feel right about going to the public visitation or funeral service, so she got the family's consent to hold a candlelight vigil Monday night in the parking lot of Wenner Funeral Home, where officers have been keeping constant guard over Decker's casket.
"I just wanted to thank him one last time for coming to my rescue," she said. Stukey created an event on Facebook and sent it to all her friends, and asked that they pass it on.
Stukey estimated that about 300 people, including uniformed officers, turned out for the 40-minute vigil on a "beautiful" early December night. The vigil opened with the reading of a poem about a police officer down, followed by hymns and prayers. A brother of Decker's recalled seeing him grow up while Cold Spring-Richmond Police Chief Phil Jones and fellow Cold Spring officers shared stories about Decker, Stukey said.
"I thought it was pretty powerful, just seeing all those people come together to support the officer and his family," Stukey said. "I thought it was very positive."
The man arrested in Decker's death, 34-year-old Ryan Michael Larson, of Cold Spring, was still in custody Monday on suspicion of second-degree murder. The county attorney's office was granted an additional day to consider charges.
Authorities were searching for the shotgun they believed was used to kill Decker, and they urged residents to take a look around their property. Bureau of Criminal Apprehension spokeswoman Jill Oliveira said authorities were also looking to hear from anyone who saw anything Thursday or who has details about what happened.
"Sometimes a minor detail at the time turns out to be a key piece of information," Oliveira said. "It may not seem significant by itself, but in combination with other information, it may be helpful in the investigation."
Oliveira said authorities were still conducting interviews and trying to piece together a timeline, including what happened in the hour or so between Decker's death and Larson's arrest.
Decker had been with the Cold Spring Police Department for six years. He was a father of four and grew up in the community. A visitation has been scheduled for Tuesday at 4 p.m. at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Cold Spring. Decker's funeral will be Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Saint John's Abbey and University Church in Collegeville.

The federal government has recognized the need to increase efficiency and reduce processing times for employers seeking to hire temporary foreign workers (TFWs) in occupations that require a positive Labour Market Opinion (LMO) to be issued before a work permit will be granted.
Except in Quebec, employers that are compliant with the Temporary Foreign Worker Program now have access to the Accelerated Labour Market Opinion (A-LMO) Initiative. Effective April 25, 2012, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC)/Service Canada implemented the "A-LMO Initiative," an initiative intended to provide employers who meet A-LMO Initiative requirements with a mechanism to expedite access to an LMO (current target: within 10 business days).
A-LMOs are available for higher-skilled jobs, such as management, professional and technical occupations classified under the National Occupation Classification (NOC) as skill type NOC 0, A, and B. While the A-LMO relies on employer attestations in order to provide employers with more efficient and timely LMO processing by reducing the paper burden, it does not exempt the employer from the criteria assessed in the regular LMO process.
Employer eligibility
To be eligible to participate in the A-LMO Initiative, the employer must:
- have been issued at least one positive LMO in the previous two years (note: even those LMOs for NOCs C and D will satisfy this requirement);
- meet the advertising and recruiting efforts required in order to show an attempt to hire Canadian citizens and permanent residents;
- have a clean compliance record with the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) over the last two years;
- complete all the attestations included in the A-LMO application;
- consent to participate in a post-compliance review of the A-LMO or any other positive LMOs issued in the last two years; n
- ot have been the subject of an investigation, infraction or a serious complaint; and
- not have any unresolved violations or contraventions under provincial laws governing employment and recruitment.
Employer attestations relate to advertising and recruiting efforts, including whether the employer has made reasonable efforts to hire or train Canadian citizens or permanent residents, the essential conditions of the job, working conditions, and genuineness of the job offer.
Wage flexibility
HRSDC/Service Canada will continue to provide an A-LMO based on the genuineness of the job offer, the wage offered, and whether the job is likely to fill a labour shortage. What is significant is there is now some flexibility to base the wage paid to the TFWs on what employers pay their Canadian and permanent resident employees, and, as such, a positive A-LMO may still be issued even if the wage provided is up to 15% less than the average posted wage rate for the occupation as set out on the Working in Canada website. Employers should note, however, that A-LMO applications with a wage rate that falls below the average posted on Working in Canada will be flagged for a careful post-compliance review.
Post-compliance reviews
Post-compliance A-LMO reviews will generally be random; however, if HRSDC/Service Canada determines that there is a risk of non-compliance because of further information it received or the application has been flagged, HRSDC/Service Canada may re-assess these applications.
While there has not yet been a directive issued with respect to the post-compliance processes and procedures generally, a post-compliance review will assess whether the employer has in fact met the terms and conditions set out in the A-LMO or LMO. Areas that will be reviewed include, but are not limited to, whether:
- the minimum recruiting and advertising efforts were performed;
- the TFW filled a labour shortage;
- the wages, working conditions and occupation provided are substantially the same as were offered to Canadian citizens and permanent residents in the same occupation and work location and were as listed in the A-LMO or LMO; and
- the employer abided by the relevant laws that regulate the employment and recruitment.
If a post-compliance review determines an employer has been non-compliant, the employer will be given an opportunity to provide justification or take corrective action, if applicable. Failure to properly satisfy an A-LMO post-compliance review may lead to the employer being ineligible to use the A-LMO Initiative, possible revocation of LMOs for which work permits have not been issued, further investigation, and greater scrutiny of any pending or subsequent LMO and/or A-LMO applications.
Remaining compliant
To avoid being found non-compliant, employers should:
- review the terms and conditions of the A-LMO or LMO letters and annexes;
- contact HRSDC/Service Canada if they are making changes to the terms and the conditions set out on the positive A-LMO or LMO;
for up to six years following a positive A-LMO or LMO, retain documentation surrounding the A-LMO or LMO application including, but not limited to:
- copies of advertising and summaries of recruiting efforts;
- payroll information and timesheets for the TFW and potentially for Canadian citizens and permanent residents;
- job descriptions, employment agreements, and any applicable collective bargaining agreements;
- copies of the TFW's work permit; and
- proof of registration with provincial/territorial workplace safety, where applicable.
A-LMO applications
An A-LMO application may be submitted online or by paper. LMOs and A-LMOs may be applied for online using the Web Service system. HRSDC/Service Canada has now updated its Web Service so that online applications will be automatically integrated with their processing systems. Generally, Web Service is available for both high- and low-skilled occupations when applying for a regular LMO, but Web Service is only available for high-skilled occupations when applying for an A-LMO.
Employers must register to use Web Service when they are ready to complete their first online application and are required to make several attestations. Additionally, an employer that wishes to use a third-party representative must designate that representative in advance of the third party accessing the Web Service system. For more information regarding the Web Service and how to register, visit the site.
HRSDC/Service Canada continues to work towards improving Web Service efficiency and expects to advance the system by the fall of 2012 to include the ability to apply for NOC C and D occupations through the A-LMO process, as well as to allow employers to access the system to determine what stage of processing their A-LMO or LMO is in.
Re-submitting applications
Current processing times for LMO applications are between 8 to 12 weeks. As such, if an employer has previously submitted an LMO application and has not yet received an opinion, the employer has the option of withdrawing the LMO application and resubmitting it as an A-LMO application, provided both applications are for the same position. However, withdrawing a current application may not be appropriate where it is an employer's first time using the A-LMO process and the LMO is not urgently required.

Joe was diagnosed with asthma at the age of 2; that didn't stop him from starting to smoke at 16. Joe was diagnosed with emphysema in 1992; that didn't make him quit. But after five attempts and with support of a cessation program, Joe finally kicked the habit.
Now more than two years smoke free, Joe is sharing his story with the Rhode Island Department of Health (HEALTH) in hopes that other smokers will follow suit.
"Find a program, figure out what you're doing and figure out what you're going to do when you get an urge," he said.
Joe is from Cranston, but asked that his last name be withheld. His is just one of the personal stories featured in HEALTH's new Tobacco Made Me cessation campaign.
Tobacco Made Me showcases the experiences of Rhode Islanders whose lives have been negatively impacted by tobacco use.
Nationwide, that is a lot of people. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the effects of cigarette smoking account for an estimated 443,000 deaths annually – nearly one in every five deaths across the country. Worldwide, the number rises to more than 5 million deaths. More people die due to tobacco use each year than deaths from HIV, illegal drug use, alcohol abuse, motor vehicle injuries, suicides and murders – combined. Smokers are two to four times more likely to suffer from coronary heart disease or stroke, and are at increased risk for a variety of cancers.
"We know that when you can get a smoker to stop smoking that their health improves; there's such a strong link between smoking and deadly and devastating diseases," said Erin Coles Welsh, program manager for the Rhode Island Tobacco Control Program. "When smokers stop, within a short period of time, their health can return to normal levels. This program keeps people alive and healthy."
Tobacco cessation is a major component to HEALTH programming, and is supported by state and federal monies. The CDC provided Rhode Island with a $1.1 million grant for tobacco control, and the state adds an additional $350,000. Funding for Tobacco Made Me comes from that overall tobacco control budget, and pays for a series of bus, radio and print advertisements that will run through the end of February at least.
Tobacco Made Me is modeled after the CDC's national cessation campaign, which has increased traffic to state quit lines. In Rhode Island, HEALTH officials are already seeing that impact.
"Since this campaign has launched, callers to the quit line have tripled and visits to the website have also tripled. We see that there is a response on the part of smokers, hearing that other people have been through this," Coles Welsh said.
The state offers a telephone quit line (1-800-QUIT-NOW), a website (QuitNowRI.com) and a Facebook page (Facebook.com/TobaccoMadeMe), which serve as the starting point for Rhode Islanders looking to quit. The free service connects smokers with a trained "quit coach" that provides individual assessments and customized plans to quit. Smokers can utilize telephone counseling, self-help materials, group or individual counseling and information sessions. Some are eligible for free nicotine replacement therapy.
"The Tobacco Made Me campaign is about Rhode Islanders helping each other to learn that today is a great day to quit smoking," Coles Welsh said.
Through cessation programming, Joe has learned to distract himself when the urge to smoke hits. He might turn on the computer, fire up a movie on Netflix or go for a walk until the urge passes.
"At the beginning, it's going to be one distraction on top of another, but it'll calm down once you learn the things that distract you best," he said.
For others, the support of even strangers has made the difference. Smokers have turned to the Facebook page as a forum to talk about their quitting success stories. The page features video interviews with campaign spokespeople.
So far, users are all ages, men and women, and people who started smoking for a variety of reasons.
"So far, they are all over the map. One individual started their freshman year of college … one individual started when they were very, very young because they saw their parents smoking," said Erica Collins, the media and communications coordinator for the Tobacco Control Program.
The thing they have in common is that quitting has been a challenge.
"We're hearing these smokers really felt that they had no options open to them. Smokers are up against more than $10 billion in tobacco marketing money spent each year to keep them hooked," Coles Welsh said. "It's really hard, but it's not impossible."
Collins adds that many Rhode Islanders have quit or started to quit after facing serious health problems, from cancer and emphysema to heart disease and problems sleeping.
She and her colleagues are grateful, though, that those longtime smokers are willing to share their stories to encourage others to quit.
"Most of the quitters we've spoken with are adamant that they want to do what they can to help others," Collins said.

Here's the first pack of the contest. Get those guesses in to me before the clock strikes midnight Monday night.
Brett Butler (L.A.) - Nice. A leadoff hitter to lead off the contest.
Jim Sundberg
Eric Show (Riverside, CA)
Lloyd Moseby - Decent hitter, but this pose tells me he was a Hall of Famer with the ladies.
Jack Clark - Jack the Ripper with a classic follow-through shot.
Mario Soto (Dominican Republic)
Don Mattingly - Donny Baseball gets honorific card number 300 in this set. He wields the bat more like a pistol here.
Tim Conroy
Jim Traber
Bo Diaz (Venezuela) - One of the first cards I ever pulled was an 86 Topps Bo Diaz. Just seeing the name brings back memories of being ten years old and discovering this whole baseball card thing.
Dave Clark
Dale Murphy - Can't pass up the chance to scan a Murph.
Kirk Gibson - Looking like he just laid waste to a backdoor slider.
Shane Mack (L.A.)
Jose Cruz (Puerto Rico) - P.R. is a "self-governing unincorporated territory of the United States" (wikipedia). This counts as The World.
Rick Aguilera (San Gabriel, CA)
Mickey Tettleton
Jerry Reuss - Check out the small print. That, my friends, is called a career. He finished with 3600+ innings pitched in the big leagues with an ERA+ of exactly 100. Major league average starter for twenty-two seasons. Dunno about you, but I'd trade my day job for that one.
Darryl Strawberry (L.A.)
Jeff Hamilton
Danny Heep
Roger Clemens - Kids, you finish your motion with your weight over your front leg.
Graig Nettles (San Diego)
Nolan Ryan Record Breaker - 11th season with 200+ K's. He was a machine.
Bill Madlock
Ron Karkovice - Birmingham on the back. Let's go Barons (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)!
Bob Patterson
Bobby Bonilla
Cali: 6
World: 3
Bama Boys: (none. Where my dogs at?)
Cali leads 6-3 after 1 pack. In fact, L.A. equals the output of the world so far. Tune in soon for pack #2.

nice pack! Murph is always the best pull...
- skoormit said...
I love pulling a Murph, not partly because he was the best player on the Braves when I was just getting into baseball and the Braves were my favorite team by default. He wasn't my favorite player, though. That was an honor held by none other than the immortal Rafael Ramirez. He was the Braves shortstop. I played shortstop for my LL team. End of discussion.

As detailed on Microsoft's official Windows Blog, the software company is reviving a promotion from 2011 that includes a brand new 4GB Xbox 360 console for every qualifying Windows PC purchase valued at more than $699. Starting on May 20, the promotion is valid on both desktops and laptops sold through a variety of U.S. retailers including NewEgg, Fry's Electronics, HPDirect, Best Buy, Dell and Microsoft stores. The promotion is also valid in Canada at Staples, The Source, Future Shop, Dell and Best Buy. In addition, Canadian students have a lower qualifying price at $599. The blog post didn't specify all the models that will qualify for the program, but did indicate that Dell XPS 13, Samsung Series 5 ULTRA and the HP ENVY 15 will qualify.
Regarding the launch of the promotion, Microsoft Windows communications manager Brandon LeBlanc stated "With all the hard work students put in for their classes in college, they need some downtime, right? That's where the Xbox 360 comes in! To blow off some steam, you can just hop on Xbox LIVE and play some Halo with friends and family far away or just down the hall. Could be a great way to blow off steam and relax after a long day full of studying and classes."
During 2011, the promotion started on May 22 2011 and ended on September 3 2011. It's likely that Microsoft will use a similar time period for the 2012 promotion period. If rumors regarding the Windows 8 upgrade program prove to be true, students interested in purchasing a new desktop or laptop will benefit from waiting until June 2 2012 to purchase the PC.
The upgrade program allows a consumer to purchase the higher end Windows 8 Pro for a price of $14.99 when purchasing a qualifying PC that comes with Windows 7. By offering the program, consumers are encouraged to purchase a new PC immediately rather than waiting for Windows 8 to be released. If Microsoft allows students combine the promotions, students will be able to get a copy of Windows 8 Pro for just $15 along with the free Xbox 360.
