U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Excluded a Class of African-American Applicants From Jobs, Federal Agency Charged
INDIANAPOLIS - River View Coal, LLC, will pay a total of $245,000 to a class of African-American applicants and furnish other relief to settle a class race discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, River View Coal excluded a class of African-American applicants from coal mining jobs at its Waverly, Ky., facility since Aug. 1, 2008.
Race discrimination in hiring violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit (4:11-cv-00117-JHM-HBB) in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
The consent decree settling the suit provides that the settlement proceeds will be distributed to a class of applicants. The decree requires River View Coal to report on its hiring for two years. The company will be prohibited from engaging in future discrimination against African-American employees or applicants and from retaliating against applicants or employees who exercise their rights to complain about discrimination or assist in an investigation or discrimination-related proceeding. River View Coal will also post a notice of non-discrimination at its facility and train its hiring managers and employees involved in the hiring process. The company will also endeavor to increase its racial diversity in the workforce by advertising all open underground positions throughout the duration of the decree with the Marion, Ill., employment services office, the Harrisburg, Ill., WorkNet office and the unemployment offices that serve Union County, Ky., and Vanderburgh County, Ind.
"Addressing allegations of hiring discrimination is an EEOC priority, and I am delighted that a resolution has been reached," said EEOC Indianapolis Regional Attorney Laurie A. Young.
Indianapolis District Director Webster Smith echoed the sentiment and indicated that he was pleased that the EEOC charge process resulted in the resolution of the claims in this case.
According to company information, River View Coal is a subsidiary of Alliance Resource Partners LP, the third-largest eastern United States coal producer. Alliance operates 10 coal mines in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland.
Eliminating barriers in recruitment and hiring, especially class-based recruitment and hiring practices that discriminate against racial, ethnic and religious groups, older workers, women, and people with disabilities, is one of six national priorities identified by the EEOC's Strategic Enforcement Plan (SEP).
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Ovechkin, Malkin, Bruins shine in SuperSkillsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
MONTREAL (AP) -Some feud.
Russian superstars Alexander Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin teamed up to the delight of the Bell Centre crowd and both were winners in the NHL's All-Star SuperSkills competition Saturday night.
Ovechkin successfully defended his breakaway challenge title as the evening's six events were conducted independently of one another, unlike previous years that featured an overall title contested by the two conferences.
The high-scoring Washington left wing played to the crowd - with a huge assist from Pittsburgh's Malkin - and garnered 42.8 percent of the fan voting via text messages.
Malkin claimed the shooting accuracy title, hitting three of four targets in a playoff with Ottawa's Dany Heatley after both nailed all four targets in four shots in the opening round.
Boston captain Zdeno Chara broke Al Iafrate's 16-year-old hardest shot record with a blistering 105.4 mph slap shot on the final attempt of the event.
Phoenix's Shane Doan scored on four of six penalty shot attempts to outlast Boston's Marc Savard in the elimination shootout finale that featured all 36 skaters taking turns against goalies Niklas Backstrom of Minnesota, the Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers, Anaheim's Jean-Sebastien Giguere and Boston's Tim Thomas.
Montreal's Carey Price and Vancouver's Roberto Luongo, who both recently returned from injuries, did not take part in the elimination shootout.
Nashville defenseman Shea Weber drove a 103.3 mph shot that looked as if it might hold up after Chara hit 103.3 mph on his first attempt.
The 6-foot-9 Bruins defenseman drew an ovation from the crowd of 21,273 after he broke Iafrate's record of 105.2 set at the Montreal Forum in 1993.
Ovechkin scored points from the get-go as the last of the six contestants in the breakaway competition, waving his hand at the crowd to draw the fans' support.
In a nod to his supposed feud with Malkin, Ovechkin skated over to his East teammates before his final attempt.
Malkin helped him put on an outback hat - with a Canadian flag stuck to the brim - and white-framed wraparound sunglasses before pouring a sports drink down Ovechkin's throat.
Ovechkin, a right-handed shot, took Malkin's left-handed stick before driving in while stickhandling the puck with both sticks.
Ovechkin tossed his own stick into the right corner before taking a left-handed shot, which was stopped before he slapped it home with a second effort.
He then skated over to the left side boards and tossed the hat and the sunglasses into the crowd.
Boston rookie Blake Wheeler was awarded the YoungStars game MVP after scoring four goals to lead the rookies to a 9-5 victory over the sophomores. Wheeler scored on Montreal goalie Carey Price - the Eastern Conference starter for Sunday's All-Star game - in each of the three 6-minute periods in the 3-on-3 game.
Tampa Bay's Steve Stamkos scored twice, and St. Louis' Patrick Berglund, Toronto's Luke Schenn and Los Angeles' Drew Doughty added goals for coach Luc Robitaille's rookies.
Rangers defenseman Marc Staal scored twice on Nashville's Pekka Rinne for coach Peter Mahovlich's sophomores, including his first of the game in the first period moments after he checked Dallas rookie James Neal into the boards on the left side.
Chicago's Dave Bolland, Vancouver's Mason Raymond and San Jose's Devon Setoguchi also scored for the sophomores.
Edmonton's Andrew Cogliano won the fastest skater competition that opened the evening. Cogliano, a YoungStars participant who was the last of six competitors, raced around the rink in 14.31 seconds to beat Philadelphia center Jeff Carter, whose 14.43 lap as the second skater nearly stood up.

Lack of communication and disregard for proper work procedures resulted in the electrocution of a licensed journeyman electrician employed by a Kentucky electrical contracting company a few years ago. Much can be learned from the mistakes made in this case.
On the morning of July 4, 2003, a contract crew of five licensed electricians was running wires to connect service for two air-conditioning units and service for a lighting panel at the new addition of an automotive supply manufacturing facility. The manufacturing facility had been shut down for the holiday and — with the exception of one employee in the plant's main office — the five men were the only workers onsite, making them the only ones with the ability to turn the building's utilities on and off.
The victim, a 36-year-old lead electrician, and one of his coworkers were sitting in a 4-foot by 4-foot junction box pulling wires into it, which was supported by two railings 20 feet off the ground. The job foreman and another electrician were on the ground. A fifth electrician was on a scissor lift next to the junction box, assisting the two workers. Each set of wiring the victim was pulling had its own breaker on a breaker panel that the foreman — but not the lead electrician — had locked out, modifying the normally followed lockout/tagout procedure.
At the time of the incident, the electrical job was 50% complete, and the crew had approximately 10 more minutes of work to finish up. The outside temperature was a hot and humid 85°F with a dew point of 71°F. Although the temperature inside where the men were working isn't known, his coworkers said the lead electrician was perspiring and had removed his shirt.
After completing connections for the lighting service, the lead electrician began pulling the wires for the air-conditioning service. As he pulled the wires into the junction box, he routed them under his legs, tapping the ends of the wires into his right hand to ensure they were even (he was not wearing insulated gloves as he handled the wires and made the connections).
Concurrently, the victim was ready for the breaker to the lighting service panel to be turned on and instructed the foreman to throw the breaker to the "on" position. The foreman, thinking he should restore power to all three breakers, walked to the breaker panel, removed his lockout/tagout on all three breakers, and flipped them on.
According to his coworkers, the lead electrician looked at the other man in the junction box, said "help me," and then collapsed. The foreman immediately contacted emergency services while the employees in the junction box and scissor lift performed CPR on the victim until paramedics arrived. Paramedics transported the electrician to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. Cause of death was electrocution. To prevent similar tragedies from occurring, NIOSH recommends the following:
Employees should always follow company lockout/tagout procedures. The OSHA regulation 1926.416(a)(1) states, "No employer shall permit an employee to work in such proximity to any part of an electric power circuit that the employee could contact the electric power circuit in the course of work, unless the employee is protected against electric shock by de-energizing the circuit and grounding it or by guarding it effectively by insulation or other means." The job foreman had used his lockout/tagout equipment, but the victim and his coworker in the junction box had not. This was done to save time. If proper safety procedures had been followed, the two electricians in the junction box would have had to lower themselves to the ground, walk to the breakers with the foreman, remove their lockout/tagouts, and energize the correct breaker.
Communication between workers should be clear and precise. Although the men involved in this incident had worked together for several years and knew each other, they still miscommunicated. Only the person performing the work should throw the breaker when the work is completed — in this case, the victim.

Building node.js on OpenIndiana
More specifically, these instructions should let you build node 0.8.16, the current stable version, on
$ uname -a
SunOS cooler 5.11 oi_151a5 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
(cooler is in its seventh year of service, having run many builds of Solaris, OpenSolaris, and, now, OpenIndiana.) First, you'll need a GCC 4.x compiler. If you attempt to use the 3.4.3
gcc compiler, you'll get
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fno-tree-vrp"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fno-tree-sink"
in the output from your failed build. So, use the Illumos GCC 4.4.4 build, which you can install via
$ sudo pkg install developer/illumos-gcc developer/gnu-binutils
which led to the installation on my system, of 3 packages, and a total of 56.9MiB of content downloaded. Include these new tools in your path for the build:
$ export PATH=/opt/gcc/4.4.4/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:$PATH
To help the node build find the appropriate Standard C++ library for linking, we set the linker run path, via the environment. (By having a correct run path, our
node binary won't need
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set to pick up
libstdc++.so.6.) We can then configure, and issue the (GNU) make to start a build:
$ export LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/gcc/4.4.4/lib
$ CC=gcc ./configure --prefix=$HOME
$ CC=gcc gmake
You can test the resulting binary
$ ./node
> process.version;
and install the node platform to the configured location.
$ CC=gcc gmake install
And now you have a working
node.js for your OpenIndiana system.
npm is installed as well, so you can begin downloading the modules needed for your development. (If you're running OmniOS, it looks like the "managed services" repository includes a
pkg(5)-installable node.js package, so you can install that interpreter directly. Maybe that's what cooler should run next.)

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Just because Paul Pierce wears the black and white of the Brooklyn Nets these days it does not mean he isn't Boston Celtics green at his core.
And I'm not mad at him. In a day and age when loyalty in professional sports is strictly a seven-letter word, it's refreshing to hear Pierce, a Celtic for his entire NBA career prior to this summer's trade between Brooklyn and Boston, speak as fondly as he does about the city he called home for the bulk of his adult life.
Pierce didn't roll off to chase championships in Brooklyn with a bitter taste in his mouth. Sure, he and Kevin Garnett and the rest of the Nets will be on a mission this season. But a veteran like Pierce is wise to think about life after his playing days are over. And as he told Boston Globe columnist Gary Washburn, Boston will play a prominent role in his life when he's finished playing:
Pierce said he wants to be a fixture in Boston following his playing days, not just showing up for his retirement ceremony and heading to Malibu, Calif., the next morning. Pierce said he wants to establish something substantial in Boston, having grown attached to the city despite growing up in Inglewood, Calif., as a Lakers fan.
"Ultimately, what I would like to do is have a business in Boston," he said. "Maybe like a sports bar. I would love to do something like that here. None of the former Celtic great players have come and done that. I thought about it, and why hasn't anyone come and opened up a nice restaurant? You see the Don Shula restaurant, the Michael Jordan restaurant, and Magic [Johnson] got the theaters in LA. Why nobody here? All this history, all these championships and love, why has nobody done that?
"I am going to still have relationships here. I'm always going to come to this city. Every year, when I'm done, I'm going to have a reason to come here."
Pierce said he holds no grudges toward the Celtics, and again pointed to a future relationship with the organization.
"Who knows? I may be working for Wyc Grousbeck or Danny Ainge," he said. "A lot of players don't understand it. I've always understood it. And [other players] let their pride and ego get in the way. I've made a lot of money here, I've built relationships, won a championship here, I thank y'all for everything y'all gave me. How can I be mad for everything they've given me. I'm thankful."
The prospect of reaching the championship pinnacle again with the Nets is intriguing.
"Me and my best friend growing up were talking and he said, 'Man, what if you win a championship in Brooklyn? Then what?' " Pierce said. "It's another level then. There's a chance I could move up in the [all-time] ranks if I get another championship. So I am still going. And they've given me more tools and I've got something to build."
Pierce said the Celtics should have no trouble attracting major free agents. "The city of Boston has changed so much since I've been here," he said. "There are so many more things to do and the city has grown. I think it would be a great place to play.
"I enjoyed it here. Hopefully, the fact that guys like me and Kevin liked it here is a sign to other players that it's a good city to play in. I'm excited about playing in Brooklyn, though. There weren't too many places I wanted to go if I had to leave Boston, but Brooklyn is one of them."
The Nets, at least on paper, should have a much more manageable road to the postseason this season than the Celtics, who are fully rebuilding. But Pierce is right, the work done during his time in Boston helped change the perception of that city for many.
Pierce left town a winner, as a vital piece in the timeline of one of the most storied franchises in the history of professional sports in this country. That can't be a bad way to go out, especially when you consider what his profile was prior to the assembly of Boston's Big 3 of Pierce, Garnett and Ray Allen.
Allen made it clear that there is indeed plenty of glory left to chase elsewhere when he departed for Miami and added another title to his Hall of Fame credentials. But he'll never be received in Boston the way Pierce and even Garnett will years from now.
Pierce will go down as one of the Celtics' all-time greats not only for his accomplishments, but also for the length of his service to the Celtics and their fans. Fifteen years … that's an eternity in professional sports.
So if Pierce says he's not done with Boston yet, that's probably a good thing for all involved.

General Computer Buying Tips
Below are some general tips when purchasing computers. They are designed for use by all types of purchasers including parents, students, faculty & staff. These tips are not a representation of buying restrictions or policy at UIS but a compendium of our experience with what works best for our customers.
Minimum Internet Speed
The minimum Internet speed required is 256 kbps; however, broadband access is recommended for best performance.
Processors – Dual Core vs. Quad Core
Although some processor sharing is possible on computers today, generally each processor handles one task on a machine. So if you are an extreme multi-tasker who runs several processes at the same time a quad core processor might be right for you. Most computer users would be best served to go with a higher Ghz dual core processor instead.
Operating System – Which OS?
For Windows users, Windows 7, 8, or 10 Professional are the operating systems of choice here on the UIS campus. They are currently the most stable choices for remote and wireless network access at UIS.
For Mac users, the latest operating system is preferred since Apple Computer Inc. integrates many functional and security updates with each release.
Memory: How Much?
Generally the most you can afford has always been the rule but with more memory becoming available it is best to order no more than 4 Gigabytes of memory on machines that are running a 32 bit operating system since that limits the amount of memory that can be utilized by a system. If a 64 bit operating system is installed these limitations do not apply.
Storage: To RAID or not to RAID?
Recently, more options for ordering a machine with multiple hard drives configured for RAID are being offered. RAID 0 provides faster hard drive access at a significant cost of stability, while RAID 1 provides redundancy at the cost of space. We recommend against ordering a computer with a RAID configuration, as most UIS users would see no benefit. If you are unsure if you could benefit from a RAID configuration, please contact the helpdesk.
Optical Drive: DVD or Blue Ray?
We rocommend that at least a DVD writable drive is included on computers. Blue Ray is increasing in market share but DVD remains the dominant force at this time.
We recommend at least a 20″ LCD monitor for desktops and at least a 15″ monitor for laptops. LCD are compact and lightweight compared to the old style monitors so the larger you can afford the better for viewing.
Graphics Card:
For the normal user the automatically configured card will meet their needs without issue. But if you are a user who normally uses graphically intensive software such as games and graphic design software you should invest in a card that has at least 256 MB of onboard video memory.
Sound Cards:
Once again generally the default configuration is adequate for the normal user. The higher end cards that are listed and 7:1 Channel systems are meant more for audio mixing and gamers that want to hear more ambient sounds. If you don't fit either of those categories, stick with the default card.
Keyboards & Mice: Wireless or Wired?
We still recommend wired keyboards and mice for the campus community. While wireless versions will provide more freedom, they come with their downsides. They can and frequently do lose wireless signal resulting in the devices being unresponsive. In addition, they require batteries to operate and it can be annoying to have to change them (sometimes frequently for mice).
Do I need a modem?
Computer on the UIS campus cannot utilize a modem and we don't recommend you include one on a machine that is intended to be used at UIS.
Speakers: Satellite or Attached?
We recommend attached speakers for most users. The speakers provide adequate sound while not taking up desk or floor space with separate speakers and subwoofer.
Internet Security Software:
Most systems come with antivirus software free of charge such as Trend Micro or McAfee security. We recommend Microsoft Security Essentials for PCs and Avira for Macs.
Microsoft Office Software
UIS students and employees can take advantage of Office 365 to download Office applications on their personally-owned devices, free for use while they are enrolled in courses/employed at UIS. Office 365 also includes use of the Office mobile apps, allowing you to create and edit Office documents on your mobile devices.

Scene modes do not always fit the situation.
Briefly comment on the metering method that has worked best for you.
As a macro photographer, I mainly rely on aperture priority mode to get my shots with the proper depth of field, as I'm working with slow film anyways on a tripod so shutter speed really isn't that much of an issue except when it comes to wind. Then a faster speed is desireable.
When I first purchased my Penatx ZX-L 3 years ago, I thought it would be nice to have the pre-programmed modes for snap shots or other instances where I could just point and shoot. While I found them convenient to have, I found myself using apearture/shutter priority modes more often because I like to be in control of the camera setting and the picture outcomes. At times when I check the exposure of a pre-programmed setting, I found that it was not always near the exposure setting that I would have chosen on my own. The one pre-programmed solution I used most often (when I did use it) was the standard, GREEN mode. What I really like about the ZX-L is the ability to select an aperature setting via the camera, while retaining the lens setting on "A."
My main problem with scene modes is that they are too restrictive -- and in the case of the Canon EOS 10D, they also can force other settings (e.g. ISO) to values I don't like. In an ideal situation, I use manual mode, and use both the built-in and an external meter. In many cases, however, time pressures result in the use of the aperture or shutter-priority modes.
My main use camera is a Canon Elan IIIe (eye control) I have used the scene mode once: I was at Dover England and wanted to catch the chanel crossing hovercraft in stop motion. I used the sports mode to get the highest shutter speed with a 80-300 mm zoom lens. The day was overcast and the scene mode worked well--the hovercraft propellers and water spray were caught. I was using iso100 Fuji film as most of southern England is green.
The scene modes are a pain on cameras; turning the dial to get past these things slows dowm the photographic process. My C5050 has them, when I went all digital slr, I chose to stay with OLy's E-1; no scene modes.
For wedding photography the auto program modes offer a time saving feature so I don't have to waste time with adjusting my camera settings. For pleasure photography I still like to manually set my own speeds and exposures.
I wish I could find a really good new camera with out all of these program modes on them. I have the Mamiya 645 AFD. love it but it is always on manual, had to pay more for something that is never used to get what I like about the camera. I never use them, I don't trust them. Being able to control it on you own is what makes you a good photographer I think.
I never use scene modes. My camera offers the chance to alter the Scene Mode settings to store your own, quickly-accessible custom camera settings. I can set up 5 different combinations to cover a variety of situations. This is more useful for my purposes.
I take many cloud photos and have found by trial and error that manual exposure with spot metering mode gives the most consistent results. I normally spot meter on a bright part of the cloud and then bias the exposure by about +2 stops.
I have about 50 cameras, from 1917 on. I shout about 99.9% black and white with a spot meter. To me,digital is way to expensive, and when the magazines compare the quality of digital with film, they always mean 35mm which was one of the smallest film sizes ever made! To me a well exposed negative is a work of art by itself. One time I did buy a digital camera because i thought of selling a few things on ebay. Well, for 2 years it just sat there because I couldn't get my computer to recognize it! But my old kodak 116 worked fine.

A report from Mike Garafolo of USA Today indicates that free agent linebacker Desmond Bishop won't be a free agent much longer.
Bishop was released by the Packers on Monday and visited with the Vikings on Wednesday before moving on to a Thursday meeting with the Chiefs. Garafolo reports that Bishop is likely to make a choice between the Super Bowl IV opponents after his meeting with Kansas City despite some reported interest from the Jaguars.
Garafolo's report suggests the Vikings are interested in bringing Bishop aboard after his workout, which presumably means they were satisfied that he's recovered from the hamstring injury that ruined his 2012 season. Vikings defensive coordinator Alan Williams didn't say anything in either direction after Bishop's workout, saying only that the choice about signing him belongs to those higher up the food chain.
"Good workout," Williams said. "We'll see. We're doing our due diligence in terms of bringing guys in that are free agents. The neat thing is, I don't have to make those decisions. I just have to coach them once they get here. Coach Leslie Frazier and [General Manager] Rick Spielman, they're the ones that make those hard decisions."
The Chiefs will get their chance to do their due diligence on Thursday, although General Manager John Dorsey should be pretty familiar with Bishop. He was Green Bay's director of college scouting when Bishop was drafted and remained with the organization until landing the job in Kansas City this offseason.

Everyone craves something they don't have or can't have for one reason or another. Whenever a new version of an operating system is previewed, it is common for users of existing versions to want to mimic the new features or look of the upcoming release. The Metro interface found in Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8 is a case in point, and using Omnimo 4.1 for Rainmeter, you can transform the look of your computer to look as though you have Windows 8 installed.
Seasoned system tweakers will be aware of Rainmeter, a free desktop customization tool that can be used to completely - and we mean completely - change the look of your computer. Used in conjunction with the Omnimo 4.1 for Rainmeter skin, you can easily achieve the look of Windows 8 and its tile based Metro interface.
The skin not only changes the appearance of your desktop, it also helps to make it more useful. Each of the tiles that makes up the interface can be customised in a variety of ways to display all sorted of information from the number of unread emails in your inbox to the weather forecast for your area. The tiles can also be used as shortcuts to your most commonly used programs and web sites which can be a real boost to productivity.
All that is needed to take full advantage of this free skin is a copy of the free software Rainmeter. Once these are both installed, you are ready to start customising your desktop. Whether you are looking forward to the next version of Windows or not, Omnimo is a great addition to your desktop that you're sure to love.
Omnimo 5 is a huge upgrade. It brings a Windows 8 panel and sidebar (which is customizable), kiosk apps and much more.

The Washington State Highway System Plan (HSP) is the state highway component of the Washington State Multimodal Transportation Plan (SMTP). The SMTP is the state's overall transportation plan that will include an analysis of facilities the state owns and those in which the state has an interest. The HSP serves as the basis for the six-year highway program and the two-year biennial budget request to the State Legislature. WSDOT is dedicated to delivering an HSP that implements the Legislature's goals. This is accomplished through the coordination and integration of specific components from many statewide modal and program plans. The HSP is also aligned to the Washington Transportation Plan (WTP), which outlines the policies adopted by the Washington State Transportation Commission.
WSDOT will communicate regularly and frequently at all levels within the department and with external partners throughout the HSP development process. Our goal is to create a long-range plan that provides decision-makers with the most cost-effective strategies. This is accomplished through a continual system-wide performance measuring and monitoring program, where WSDOT collects and analyzes data to determine current and future performance of the highway system. Assets that don't meet established performance threshold criteria are identified as needs. WSDOT develops cost-effective strategies, based on analysis of performance outcomes and best management practices (both national and international), to provide high benefit solutions for identified needs. WSDOT aims first to maintain, preserve, and improve the operating efficiency of the existing highway system before adding to the system.
Please send your comments or questions about the plan to firstname.lastname@example.com .

JoeSpokesman avait besoin d'un nouveau design de page web et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 145 designs proposés par 28 designers freelance.
A Spokesman Said
We help consumers, whether that's by supporting them when companies mistreat them, by helping them to get a good deal on their household bills, or by giving them advice.
- We are angry with companies that screw over their customers and will fight against them
- We are here to support the customer that has no voice against big companies
- We are knowledgeable and have our fingers on the pulse
- We are not faceless like our price comparison competitors (MoneySuperMarket / Compare The Market) - we are friendly and trustworthy
We are looking for fresh ideas on a style to match this brand. This should include new colour schemes (even the logo can be changed if red is problematic), new fonts and any imagery or iconography that might enliven the site. NB we use the 12-column responsive Bootstrap grid and so designs should adhere to that.
We are looking for a new mobile responsive UI design to support the above brand identity.
We would like to see some concepts for a few parts of the product we are about to rebuild. I have provided some mockups to give you an idea of our intentions for the pages.
We are not in a position to revamp our entire product (it is a large website) due to a lack of internal resources. We are looking to largely maintain the structure of the existing HTML across the site but will apply the look of the pages you design to the rest of the site, so please have a look around to see what we are working with.
These are the pages you will be designing:
1. Home page (see http://www.aspokesmansaid.com)
I have not provided any new concepts for this, as we'd like to see what you can come up with. The aim of this page is to show a bit of everything we have to offer (make a complaint tool, read/write reviews, get advice in energy/telecoms/insurance/money/travel and more, read consumer news, testimonials from customers who have saved money) but also focus on converting traffic to our price comparison (switch energy, car insurance, home insurance). We are also looking to have a dropdown nav similar to that of M&S bank (http://bank.marksandspencer.com/) so that we can tell new users about everything we offer and make navigation easier.
2. Company page - two tabs (see design attached)
We want tabs for different aspects of each company. As you can see in my latest mockup, all companies will have a complaints tab and a customer reviews tab. Some companies that we are more focused on will also have 'our review' (a piece of content) and 'deals', but we don't need these to be designed now.
3. Make a complaint - wizard (see design attached)
We want to turn the complaints process into a wizard, whereby we ask you questions and try to narrow down your issue to give you specific advice before you contact the company (see mockups). At this point you will also have the chance to switch (if we have price comparison for that industry) or to write a public review.
4 and 5. A mobile version of two of these pages
We have a logo, as you can see on our site. So far I have had trouble matching this logo to any good colour schemes. We would appreciate your opinion on the logo colour and whether or not the site would benefit from changing it.

Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith will be sidelined at least a few weeks because of a sprained left foot, coach John Harbaugh said Monday.
Because of the nature of the injury, sources with knowledge of the situation predicted Smith might be sidelined longer. They said potential return dates of Nov. 24 against the New Orleans Saints or the following week against the San Diego Chargers are more realistic scenarios.
Smith was carted off the field during the first quarter of the Ravens' 27-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium.
This represents a major setback for the Ravens. Smith is their top cornerback and is arguably one of their three best defensive...

Sonoran News – November 12-18, 2008
I congratulate President-elect Obama on his historic election. Some of his ideas and pronouncements, however, remain a source of concern.
His statements regarding the Constitution and his desire to "redistribute the wealth" reflect a radical "change" how most Americans perceive the role of government. He believes the Constitution is flawed and states, "The Constitution is a charter of negative liberties – it says what the government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf." He seems oblivious to the purpose of the Constitution, which is to limit the power of government over individuals i.e. the Bill of Rights. What it does on our behalf is provide the framework and protection for "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." It does not guarantee happiness nor does it provide for reimbursements.
The concept of "redistribution of wealth" assumes that the wealth of the citizens belongs to the government.
Is the IRS, which confiscates our wealth for the government, going to be renamed the "Internal Redistribution Service?"
In July 2007 at a conference of Planned Parenthood, Senator Obama stated, "We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom; the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges." He wants to change the traditional view of justice as a blindfolded person weighing legal claims fairly on a scale. He wants to tear the blindfold off so the judges can rule for the party they empathize with the most. This emphasis on empathy in essence requires the appointed judges to violate their oath: that is to "administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich.
President-elect Obama will take an oath to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution." Let us be vigilant and make sure he does not violate that oath. Nothing less than the very idea of liberty and the rule of law are at stake.

Quentin Tarantino has brushed off criticism of the racially charged language used in his latest movie "Django Unchained," insisting the script reflects the reality of the time period.
The film, which stars Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio, is set in slavery-era Mississippi in 1858 but the repeated use of the n-word has caused some controversy.
Stars including fellow director Spike Lee have taken aim at Tarantino for his choice of words, with the moviemaker telling Vibe.com, "I am not going to see it (the film). I am not seeing it. It would be disrespectful to my ancestors to see that film."
He added in a post on his Twitter.com page, "American slavery was not a Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It was a Holocaust. My ancestors are slaves. Stolen from Africa. I will honor them."
However, Tarantino argues that history is on his side when it comes to the sensitive topic of slavery.
He tells MTV News, "I think it's kind of ridiculous (the criticism), because no one can actually say with a straight face that we use the word more than it was used in 1858 in Mississippi. So since they can't say that, what they're basically (saying) is I should lie. I should pretty it up. I should lie, and I don't lie when it comes to my characters and the stories I tell."

Growing a Cocktail Garden
Summer is a great time to sit on your deck or patio and enjoy all the hard work you've done to improve your outdoor space. Even better is enjoying a fresh summer cocktail with ingredients from your own garden. Many herbs and cocktail plants are invasive, so planting them in small batches in separate pots and containers can help them grow and make it easier on you. Here are some cocktail plants and herbs that will spice up (or sweeten) your summer drinks:
This cocktail herb comes in several varieties to try in your drink recipes. Spearmint, apple mint and peppermint are great types to try, though peppermint can be a bit strong. Mint grows best in a container of its own, as it tends to invade the area in which it's planted.
Mojito Recipe:
- 10 mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 2 ounces white rum
- club soda
- Place the mint leaves and sugar in the bottom of a glass and muddle with a spoon.
- Add lime juice, rum and club soda to taste.
- Add a fresh lime wedge as a garnish.
Lemon Basil
Basil is a staple in many kitchens for cooking, and lemon basil is a great addition to any garden. The lemon flavor is complemented by undertones of mint, which makes it great in cocktails.
Lemon Basil Blossom Recipe:
Ingredients (for syrup and the drink)
Lemon Basil Syrup
- 1cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup loosely packed lemon basil
- 3 to 4 leaves lemon basil
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 1/2 ounces white rum
- 1 ounce fresh lemon juice (the juice of one lemon)
- 1/2 oz. lemon basil simple syrup
- Make the syrup: Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan with basil until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil and then set to the side to cool. Strain out the basil and refrigerate.
- Make the cocktail: muddle the lemon zest and basil. Fill with crushed ice. In an ice-filled cocktail shaker, shake together rum, lemon juice and simple syrup. Strain into Collins glass and garnish with a sliver of lemon.
You usually think of chives in a savory dish, but they also go great with drinks like bloody mary and martinis.
Bloody Mary Recipe:
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 1/3 cups tomato juice
- 1/2 cup pepper vodka
- 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 to 3 teaspoons green hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Large pinch of celery salt
- Pinch of sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- Combine first 3 ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Press leaves against bottom of cup using a muddler or wooden spoon.
- Stir in tomato juice and next 7 ingredients.
- Place ice in cocktail shaker, filling half full. Cover with lid, and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled.
- Garnish, if desired.
This cocktail herb goes well with many fruity drinks, including those with vodka and wine. Rosemary can serve as a festive garnish. It also pairs well with ginger.
Rosemary Lemonade Recipe:
- 1 1/2 ounces tequila
- 4 ounces lemonade
- 3 to 4 ice cubes, frozen with rosemary inside

IBM and Microsoft et al do have plenty on their newswires today, but instead let's look at Codementor. This is a new operation set up with the intention of providing instant 1:1 help for software application development professionals at all levels of experience — and yes, that means beginners and hobbyists, too.
The company says its mission is to help enable developers across all experience levels to build projects faster with "on-demand live help" from expert mentors via screen sharing, video, and chat.
Cofounder and CEO of Codementor Weiting Liu explains that he has been part of world-renown accelerators Techstars and Y Combinator, and the best thing about his experiences was being connected to great engineers he could code with and learn from.
"I thought this was something that any engineer could use. From the most experienced C++ engineer working with Rails the first time, to the junior developer, trying to integrate a website payments platform for the first time," said Liu.
"Our 800+ vetted experts include O'Reilly book authors, creators of popular open source projects, top Stackoverflow answerers of all-time, and developers at Google and Amazon," added Liu.
Codementor helps developers in organizations such as startup company Biomeme, which uses Codementor to solve unanswered Stackoverflow problems and deliver features on time. Liu also emphasizes that many freelance developers use Codementor for on-demand code reviews to build scalable apps for clients.
"Web development agencies use Codementor for expert knowledge on-demand and save months of work. Also, novice programmers and coding bootcamp graduates use Codementor for quick solutions to problems they'd have no other way to solve," he concluded.

2. Fig. to struggle not to say something that you really want to say. I had to bite my tongue to keep from telling her what I really thought. I sat through that whole silly conversation biting my tongue.
bite one's tongue
Refrain from speaking out, as in A new grandmother must learn to bite her tongue so as not to give unwanted advice, or I'm sure it'll rain during graduation.-Bite your tongue! This term alludes to holding the tongue between the teeth in an effort not to say something one might regret. Shakespeare used it in 2 Henry VI (1:1): "So York must sit and fret and bite his tongue." Today it is sometimes used as a humorous imperative, as in the second example, with the implication that speaking might bring bad luck. [Late 1500s] Also see hold one's tongue.
COMMON If you bite your tongue, you do not say something that you would like to say. All I can do is to bite my tongue if I want to keep my job.
