Organization Description: The Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) was established in 1999 to promote democratic debate on the most important economic and social issues that affect people's lives. It is an independent, nonpartisan think tank based in Washington, DC. CEPR is committed to presenting issues in an accurate and understandable manner, so that the public is better prepared to choose among the various policy options.
CEPR is an ideal place to learn about current economic and global justice issues in a friendly, relaxed and fun environment.
The Revolving Door Project (RDP), a project of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), scrutinizes executive branch appointees to ensure they use their office to serve the broad public interest, rather than to entrench corporate power or seek personal advancement.
Many of the deep rules that govern our rigged economy are written within the executive branch and outside the purview of most of civil society. From the semi-independent bureaus of the Treasury Department (the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the IRS) to the Federal Reserve, OMB, FTC, and beyond, executive branch personnel play a significant role in determining the fundamental rules that govern our economy.
The Revolving Door Project educates civil society in order to counteract the advantage that Wall Street and corporate America have in this rule writing process. We do this by alerting and educating the media and activists when hardworking people are being taken advantage of and clarifying by whom. If we want the executive branch to write rules that structure the economy away from rent extraction and in the direction of greater economic equality, we need to ensure the right people hold key executive branch positions like the Treasury Secretary and SEC Commissioner. The executive branch needs to empower dedicated civil servants rather than self-interested people rotating between relatively short stints in government and longer stints in the very industries they're supposed to regulate.
CEPR provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, creed, gender, national origin, age, disability, marital or veteran status, or sexual expression and identity. We actively welcome applications from people of color, women, and LGBTQ candidates.

Why Start-to-Finish?
Bracelet Care & Assembly
Jewelry Stores in Mississippi Gathered Last Weekend
July 3, 2017 /in News /by Start-to-Finish Diamond Link Bracelets
Jewelry stores in Mississippi gathered on June 24-25 in Gulfport, MS at the Marriott Courtyard Beach Front for learning sessions and fun at the annual Mississippi Jewelers Convention.
From the vendors' perspective, it was an opportunity to socialize with the attendees, support the organization, and have an opportunity to bring some merchandise and new ideas for the 2017 Holiday Season.
For Start-to-Finish Diamond Link Bracelets, we were able to share how we've repositioned our product line to accommodate the lifestyles of customers and their jewelry gift buying needs. Our presentation consisted of "7 Must-Have Bracelets," emphasizing how you as a store owner or associate can tell a story as you present a certain style bracelet.
For example, a customer comes in needing a baby gift. You might suggest our "baby bracelet" and how the bracelet will grow as the baby grows into a child, a teenager, a young adult. The finished product will be a 14K gold and diamond bracelet with exceptional value and built over time on special occasions. Jewelry stores in Mississippi who stock our product can tell their own stories for our bracelets, it just takes listening to the customer, some help from us, and some imagination!
Found this page by accident? If you are a consumer looking for jewelry stores in Mississippi who carry our line of 14K gold and diamond bracelets, please visit our Find a Store page or our main consumer site to learn more.
We strongly believe in the "add-on" concept in our bracelet line because there is value in the finished product and the relationship is built with every important occasion in a customer's life.
But it wasn't all education and presentation… One of the highlights of the Mississippi Jewelers Convention was the Poker Tournament for Charity. There were two tables of players and the winner received a plaque. All the buy-in money was donated to a charity of the winner's choice! This is certainly a reason to attend next year's convention if you're a jewelry store in Mississippi. Start-to-Finish will be there, will you?

you just pulled off the old heat-sink, cleaned it up, new heat-sink with new cooling paste?
Hi, yes i've put in both a new "glue gum", the ethernet controller doesn't get to hot but i don't wanted to wast the heat-sink I don't have cooling problems either, but with the case closed the CPU stays a little bit hot (it doesn't represent a problem for sure it was tested before at the lab and aproved to work with that temperature), at 533mhz it should be even more, so now it's "perfect" with the new heat-sink it's a lot cooler, i remember well the BIG difference in temperature on my old WL-500GP/W with and without it, specially on hot days. My filosophy it's "more cooler, better"
Last edited by hggomes; 29-11-2009 at 12:45.
This info is from model BCM4716 underclocked 300Mhz CPU, that's why it shows only "BogoMIPS: 238.59" , RT-N16 should have from factory clock speed (480MHZ)a near value. ~480 BogoMIPS.
Last edited by hggomes; 29-11-2009 at 02:53.
bogus mips: bogus means something like fake/not real.
but wait... you glued it on?
Could you share the details about the parts you purchased and used to upgrade the cooling for the RT-N16 ?
Last edited by Mookatroid; 31-12-2009 at 17:59.
Hi, in my case i used a heat-sink from CoolerMaster Blue Ice Cooler, i removed the fan (40mm), it has a glue tape mixed with a metal conductor so you can make it glued and conductive, it works perfectly. There are other heat-sinks that work the same way, it's a matter of some research on those heat-sinks =< 40mm to get a better temperature, the diference of temperature is big, i haven't measure it yet but it should be near 10º, it's not even warm. If you have one of this kind heat-sinks that fit in the "socket" without the glued tape (most kind) you can resolve it with a glue named PRITT, i've already test it and works fine it seems those materials used on GFX/NB of notebooks, its a kind of glue that doesn't dry (gum).
Last edited by hggomes; 30-11-2009 at 03:51.
I should not have any problem finding CoolerMaster products.
However PRITT does not seem to make any computer-type glue.
Yes in fact PRITT does not have thermal capabilities but also original ASUS RT-N16 heat-sink doesn't have either, is just PURE glue between both (cpu and heat-sink, ASUS made it that way it's because it's enough to do the job) and so many other devices just like notebooks, motherboards and others have only a kind of glue gum attached (without thermal capabilitie), so i think in some cases you don't need a EXTREME thermal capabilitie because it's not needed, but offcourse if you have even better.
PS: Have you noticed that all thermal sticks have glue on both sides of the thermal metal conductor?
Artic Silver should work fine (or 1 dollar 40mm thermal sticks), but you need to be careful because its conductivity and there's also other "problem" some people reported that you will never again take off the heat-sink, it will be stucked (artic = super glue).
What i will do is to measure the temperature of CPU with the glue and with the thermal stick so i can tell you the diferences, or eventually with my other unit try the artic silver and then compare all the three temperatures, of course it would be better if i could make it with 533Mhz, but i will try at 480 first.
Last edited by hggomes; 03-12-2009 at 15:24.
Interesting, ASUS FW uses 453,226,113 speeds (BogoMIPS: 225.28), not 480,240,120 or even 533(2),266,133. Im wondering why??

Q: Krusader can't go into archives I installed Krusader to my ubuntu from repos with "apt-get install" and it work fine except one thing - i can not enter in any archives. While trying to do so it says - "listing folders is not supported for protocol kio_krarc". In settings/archives tab i see "zip" and anything else selected. I clicked "auto configure" and see those archives are "enabled" but still have no luck. I can't imagine normal work without going into archives. Can i somehow fix this?

A: This is bug in krusader: launchpad.net
Problem is solved krusader 2.4.0-beta3: deb

A: Install the newest version of the Krusader (2.4.0 beta3), available here, for 32-bit and 64-bit pc's.

Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Representative for New York's 8th Congressional District, toured Misaskim's headquarters today. The Congressman's visit was inspired by the vital role Misaskim played during the Kletzky tragedy.
Misaskim volunteers worked tirelessly throughout the harrowing ordeal to provide assistance and support to the family and to the community.
At Misaskim's headquarters, Congressman Nadler toured the warehouse where all the G'mach N'chumim items are stored. Misaskim's G'mach N'chumimis a free-loan society that offers numerous items that can be used during the traditional seven-day shiva mourning period. Congressman Nadler was overwhelmed by the variety of items available to a grieving family. The G'mach N'chumim provides so much more than shiva chairs. Families in mourning can request prayer books, coat racks, air conditioners, water coolers, cribs, folding beds, cordless phones and even Tylenol. All these items are promptly delivered to the shiva house. On an average, Misaskim completes about 70 pick-ups and deliveries each week.
Congressman Nadler also visited Misaskim's Emergency Operations Center that is equipped with the most advanced communication systems, including international news wire feeds. There, Misaskim representatives demonstrated various initiatives established by Misaskim that aim to protect the safety of the schools and the yeshivas in our communities. The Emergency Operations Center mainly functions as a conference center for community organizations and law enforcement agencies in the event of a community-related emergency or catastrophe. During the Mumbai massacre, the EOC was activated and served as an integral source of information and support.
Congressman Nadler was visibly impressed with the many community efforts spearheaded by Misaskim. "There are so many important activities that Misaskim is involved in that they could, in reality, occupy the attention of four different organizations," he said. "The community needs Misaskim. If it didn't exist, then it would have to be invented."

Q: Can't prevent default link action I have a function in global scope as a link() handler:
function sort(e, field) {
e.preventDefault();

/*  sort process ...   */
}

And I have a link that appears dynamically in my HTML page:
Book title

Despite of e.preventDefault(); the link performs the default action anyway.
Note:
It's very important that my link will be loaded via ajax.

A: Try just using javascript without the html's "onclick"
function sort(e, field)
{
e.preventDefault();

/*  sort process ...   */
}
$("#sortByTitle").click(function(event) { sort(event, 'title'); });

A: You must use addEventListener to listen to the click event, like so:
document.getElementById("sortByTitle").addEventListener("click", function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    alert("Hello!!");
});

Take a look at this fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/rjnkuosL
edit:
try this:
Book title

A: If you must use the onclick attribute, return false; will prevent the default action there.
Book title

A timeline of the Revel Casino Hotel
A look at key moments in the history of Atlantic City's Revel Casino Hotel:
Sept. 2007: Revel Entertainment and partner Morgan Stanley file plans for a new casino and 3,800 hotel rooms. It would be the first new casino in Atlantic City since the Borgata opened in 2003.

Hunting in Greenland
Stunning glacial beauty under the Northern lights
Airport: Kangerlussuaq
Hunting Season: March
Accommodation: Houses
Greenland is the largest island in the world. Located in the northeastern part of North America, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Glacial Arctic Ocean.
84% of its territory is occupied by a thick layer of ice known as Inlandis, which in the center of the island reaches 3,000 meters thick above sea level.
Greenland, "land of men", a place to discover
The history of Greenland is a story of life under extreme arctic conditions. It is believed that the first humans arrived in Greenland about 4 – 5000 years ago from the North American continent. There has been no evidence that Greenland was known to Europeans until the 10th century when the Icelandic Vikings led by Erik the Red settled on its southwest coast. But it was undoubtedly the Inuit people who managed to survive such extreme weather conditions, and that today continues to predominate among the different ethnic groups that inhabit this enormous ice island.
Muskox hunting in Greenland
The muskox is a species that we find near the coast. It is a trophy that impresses with its long-haired fur and its strong buffalo antlers with pointed ends that look to the sky. They usually live in herds, and the adults reach an approximate weight of 400 kg. Our hunting area is approximately one hour from the city of Kangerlussuaq. This area is considered one of the best for hunting muskox in Greenland, with high density and quality of trophies.
We organize guided groups in the spring, in general, in March, when it dawns around 6:00 am and gets dark around 7:00 pm. Snowmobiles are our vehicle during the hunt and once our objective is sighted, stalking on foot will be the way to approach our trophy.
You can hunt in Greenland other species after obtaining our muskox are partridge and snow hare. Or, if you prefer, you can opt for a sleigh ride and admire the immense white landscapes that manage to get lost in our sight.

Істсайд Лос-Анджелес () — міський регіон в окрузі Лос-Анджелес, Каліфорнія. До нього входять райони Лос-Анджелес-Сіті на схід від річки Лос-Анджелес, тобто Бойл-Гайтс, Ель-Серено та Лінкольн-Гайтс, а також некорпорований східний Лос-Анджелес.

Історія

Східний Лос-Анджелес був заснований у 1870 році Джоном Стротером Гріффіном (1816–1898), якого називали «батьком Східного Лос-Анджелеса». Кажуть, що він створив перше передмістя міста Лос-Анджелес у Лінкольн-Хайтс після того, як він придбав 2000 акрів ранчо за 1000 доларів і в 1870 році разом зі своїм племінником Хенкоком Джонсоном побудував на цьому місці будинки. Ця земля була ранчо під назвою La Rosa de Castilla, на східному березі річки Лос-Анджелес, займаючи безлюдні пагорби між Лос-Анджелесом і Пасаденою. Наприкінці 1874 року двоє чоловіків запропонували додаткові тридцять п'ять акрів, розділені на ділянки розміром 65x165 футів по 150 доларів США кожна. Вони запланували прокладку вулиць нинішньої громади Східного Лос-Анджелеса та подарували Іст-сайдський парк (теперішній Лінкольн-парк) місту Лос-Анджелес.

У проекті Mapping L.A. Лос-Анджелес Таймс Істсайд включає Бойл-Хайтс, Ель-Серено, Лінкольн-Хайтс і східний Лос-Анджелес.[5] Однак межі є предметом постійних дискусій і дебатів серед жителів Лос-Анджелеса.

Населення та житло
Наступні дані стосуються кордонів Істсайду, встановлених Mapping L.A.:

У 2000 році на площі 20,66 квадратних миль регіону Істсайд проживало 286 222 людини, тобто 13 852 людини на квадратну милю. Околиці були «не особливо різноманітні» етнічно, з високим відсотком латиноамериканців. Етнічний розподіл був латиноамериканцем, 91,2%; азіати, 5,2%, білі, 2,3%; чорний 0,7% та інші 0,6%. Лише 5,1% жителів у віці 25 років і старше мали чотирирічну вищу освіту. Більше двох третин (66,8%) мешканців проживали у спільному житлі, а 33,2% були власниками житла.

Band of Skulls continues to showcase variety of styles with 'Sweet Sour'
Jack H. Evans|February 29, 2012
In 2009, English power trio Band of Skulls released Baby Darling Doll Face Honey , a sharp, catchy debut that yielded popular songs such as "I Know What I Am," "Light of the Morning," and "Death by Diamonds and Pearls" (a non-album track, "Friends," was also included on the Twilight Saga: New Moon Soundtrack ). After three years of writing, recording, and supporting acts as big as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Dead Weather, and Muse, they're back with Sweet Sour , an even more eclectic and polished affair. While it's easiest to simply call Band of Skulls "garage rock," they aren't quite so easy to pigeonhole. Truth is their sound usually falls somewhere between the pop-inflected blues rock of The Black Keys and the whacked-out psychedelic heaviness of Queens of the Stone Age – but then again, that's quite a wide range. Fuzzy guitar riffs and driving drum beats put the title track and "The Devil Takes Care of His Own" closer to the more traditional rock they explored on their debut, but elsewhere, they fly a bit farther out into left field. "Lay My Head Down" ventures into psychedelic indie territory, while "Bruises," with its soulful harmonies and music video set in a bowling alley, has a bit of an alternative country feel. What really sets Band of Skulls apart, though, isn't their eclectic style choices, but rather the fact that they have two capable vocalists in Russell Marsden (also guitar) and Emma Richardson (also bass). The two trade off leads, with Marsden shining on the title track and "The Devil Takes Care of His Own," while Richardson does the same on "Bruises" and "Lies." Harmonies are apparent in nearly every song, but these aren't poppy Beach Boys harmonies. Instead, the harmonies lend an interesting darkness to many of the songs, distinguishing them from more upbeat garage rock groups. While the music might not display significant skill – indeed, Sweet Sour lacks the guitar solos that Marsden ripped on several tracks on Baby Darling Doll Face Honey , and Richardson's bass lines and Matt Hayward's drum beats aren't mind-bogglingly complex – it is dynamic enough to be interesting, and it allows for the vocals to shine as a focal point. Band of Skulls may not be reinventing the wheel here, but they do a pretty good job of expanding the "garage rock revival" sound. To say that Sweet Sour tops Baby Darling Doll Face Honey might be pushing it, but it's at least on par. One thing is for sure: Band of Skulls hasn't fallen into any sophomore slump.

Those of us who have held court behind the range know it, our families know it, our peers know it, but the rest of the world has no real idea about the physical and emotional pain that accompanies the job of cook or chef.
There are many physical jobs that stretch a person's physical wellbeing. A percentage of the workforce ends their day in physical pain from pushing the body where it doesn't want to, or shouldn't go. Construction workers, factory personnel who suffer from repetitive motion strain, anyone who bends and lifts as part of a job, plumbers and electricians who crawl through places that most of us would avoid, and auto mechanics who contort their bodies to attach a wrench to a bolt, all suffer at the end of the day like a football player who took repetitive hits during a game. This is why painkillers are so often prescribed and over-the counter remedies are purchased at an alarming rate. No pain – no gain may be a catch phrase that is promoted by coaches and work supervisors, but far too often there is little gain from continuous pain.
So why would a cook or chef be different? What makes his or her pain special – noteworthy? I would be foolish to claim that it is different than those listed above, however, when you consider the physical, mental, and emotional abuse in consort, then I think that it might be fair to claim uniqueness.
If we look at the conditions that lead up to physical and emotional injury in the kitchen it is easy to see how the environment has developed a reputation as a macho business. In Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential he refers to a situation where a crusty veteran of the range mocked a young cook who burned himself on a hot pan handle. When the young turk asked for burn cream, the crusty veteran responded with: "Burn? You call that a burn?" He then proceeded to grab a glowing hot sizzle platter from the broiler with his bare hands as a sign that cooks need to tolerate pain and just work through it. Although this may be an extreme example, there is an unwritten rule among cooks that they simply work through most pain. Whether it involves cuts that warrant stitches burns severe enough to blister, swollen ankles from standing for 10-12 hour shifts, or a pounding headache from relentless stress and forgetting to hydrate – most cooks do simply "work through it". The thought of leaving your position on the line and hanging your teammates out to dry on a busy night is just not possible. Tough it out.
It is quite easy to point to these "in the moment" accidents that cooks face each and every day. Things happen and when you are stressed for time, and things start to go sideways, then people let their guard down and cause mistakes to occur. I remember my first day back at a property as executive chef after taking a 20 some odd year break to teach. Trimming a strip loin with a 10-inch, sharp cimetar, I found the point buried into my palm. My first reaction was to grab a side towel to wrap it and look around to see if anyone else had noticed. Embarrassment for a dumb mistake was first and foremost on my mind. Finding my way to the men's room, I washed it, wrapped it and returned to work through the rest of my shift. I took care of the stitches on my own time. How common is this reaction? Look around, it happens all the time. Cooks and chefs are supposed to be tough- right?
What about those incidents of pain that come over time? What about the emotional and mental scaring from years of cumulative stress? How many cooks and chefs suffer from carpel tunnel syndrome from repetitive motion work with knives over time? How many cooks and chefs have back and knee problems from bending, lifting, and stretching in the wrong manner? How many cooks and chefs have agonizing pain in their feet from years of 60-hour workweeks on their feet? I would probably be safe in saying – most.
Cooks and chefs have, what appears to be a high tolerance for pain. Is this true? Does the profession attract people who seem to tolerate what others would not, or is it the peer pressure of the environment that is so dependent on team work and trust in each other to do the job?
What is probably the most distressing part of this pain tolerance environment is how these cooks and chefs deal with it. It appears to me that there is an unusually higher percentage of cooks who still smoke than what is found in the general population – is this a way to cope with the physical and emotional pain and stress? Drinking and pain killer use is problematic in many industries, yet I have not seen an industry more plagued by abuse in these areas than in restaurants.
Cooks, for the most part, don't take care of themselves. They live in the moment of preparing for and executing a successful service. When the work is done and the subtle or pronounced pain rises to the surface, then they drown themselves in their own special medication. Cooks, ironically don't eat well. The food might be well prepared (often not), but it is the manner with which they eat – five minutes standing over a garbage can to catch the falling food particles, or while continuing to work at their station. Their pay is meager so they choose not to invest in luxuries like good supportive shoes, annual visits to a family doctor, periodic dental care, and a balanced exercise program. Their leisure time that could be dedicated to family and important things like reading a good book, taking a continuing education class, or going for a hike seem to fall by the wayside. When they get a day off it is time to take care of the basics – washing clothes, banking, some grocery shopping, taking that car in for an overdue inspection, etc.
Yes, cooks appear to have a tolerance for pain, yet their threshold is no different that anyone else's. Cook's need to learn how to prevent accidents from happening, but when they do to take care of them before they settle in to long term problems. Learn to lift correctly, forget the machismo and ask for help when something is too heavy to lift, have plenty of dry side towels for handling hot pans, pay attention to those knives when in use and refrain from distractions, let that steamer drain before you open the door, take 20 minutes to sit down and have an honest meal, buy good shoes and change them on a long shift, make sure your operation uses quality rubber mats on the line to remove some of the physical stress on your knees and legs, and by all means – hydrate. Otherwise your time on the line will be over by the time you are in your early thirties.
