Dear US Department of Labor
Dear U.S. Department of Labor, We are pleased to present you with this petition affirming this statement: "We applaud and support the Department of Labor’s proposal to help millions of low- and middle-income workers by increasing the overtime salary threshold from $23,660 to $50,440. If implemented, this rule change would guarantee coverage for an additional 13.5 million workers—giving them the right to receive the overtime pay they deserve. Unfortunately, corporate lobbyists—including the National Retail Federation, which includes Walmart—are trying to run out the clock on this proposed rule change. They are trying to get the Department of Labor to extend the public comment period beyond the September 4 deadline and possibly delay implementation indefinitely. In the face of opposition from Big Business and its unlimited financial resources, please do not back down from your position. The future of the American middle class depends on bold policy decisions such as this one." Attached is a list of individuals who have added their names to this petition, as well as additional comments written by the petition signers themselves. Sincerely, Economic Policy Institute MoveOn.org 1 John Hunter Penn Yan, NY 14527 Sep 3, 2015 Kathleen Hebbeler Cincinnati, OH 45205 Sep 3, 2015 Anne McManus Bayport, MN 55003 Sep 3, 2015 Ralph Stout East Hampton, NY 11937 Sep 3, 2015 Samuel Zamudio Cordova, AK 99574 Sep 3, 2015 Lera Chacon Boca Raton, FL 33431 Sep 3, 2015 Odette Aguiar Austin, TX 78758 Sep 3, 2015 Carole Wilder Owings Mills, MD 21117 Sep 3, 2015 caroline -

Chicago Open Trash 2018: Look at All Those Chickens by Rob Carson, Carsten Gehring, and Andrew Hart Round 5: Tossups
Chicago Open Trash 2018: Look at All Those Chickens by Rob Carson, Carsten Gehring, and Andrew Hart Round 5: Tossups 1. In the late 1990s, this actor had security called on him when he walked into the offices of Amblin Entertainment and demanded to see Steven Spielberg, and he told Hugh Hefner that he was coming to the Playboy Mansion in a disguise and then showed up several hours later as himself, revealing that the disguised man who had been working the crowd was not him. This actor discusses writing a ten- million-dollar check to himself in a 2017 film compiled from footage shot by Lynne Margulies that was locked away to avoid making this man look like an asshole for, among other things, claiming that Jerry (*) Lawler broke his neck. A Chris Smith documentary whose subtitle contains a “contractually obligated mention of Tony Clifton” chronicles how intensely this actor was in character for a 1999 Milos Forman film. For 10 points, name this comic actor who played Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon. ANSWER: Jim Carrey [or James Eugene Carrey] <Hart> 2. In the ostensible punchline of xkcd’s discussion of this scenario, “Black Hat” asks, “How busy am I?” In Dinosaur Comics, T-Rex muses on this scenario by asking, “What if he sucks because he is a LITERAL BABY??” Paul Dean modified illustrations from Jesse Prinz’s website subcortex.com to pose an “advanced” variant of this scenario involving “moderators of a popular fat acceptance blog who . will proceed to spread the news that you are a body-shaming bigot.” In SMBC, a woman says that she “would remove the part of [her] brain that governs (*) empathy” in response to this scenario, which is the subject of an Existential Comics installment involving an obese robot that might begin a bloody socialist revolution, a transportation magnate who might become a master violinist, and a child with a genetic mutation allowing him to experience far more happiness than five doomed workers combined. -
New on Video &
New On Video & DVD Beverly Hills 90201: 4th Season Television producer extraordinaire Aaron Spelling launched a pop- culture phenomenon with his 1990s teen soap opera Beverly Hills 90210, a landmark series that not only set the standard for '90s teen culture, but singlehandedly wrote the template for later shows like Dawson's Creek and THE O.C. Created by Darren Star, the glitzy series chronicled the coming-of-age dramas of Minnesota siblings Brandon (Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty) as they adjusted to their new lives in the affluent environs of the zip code of the title, where they attended the fictional West Beverly High with a tight-knit group of teenage friends: goodnatured jock Steve Sanders (Ian Ziering); brainy good-girl Andrea Zuckerman (Gabrielle Carteris); naive virgin Donna Martin (Tori Spelling); aspiring DJ David Silver (Brian Austin Green); blonde siren Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth); and troubled bad-boy Dylan McKay (Luke Perry). Like DegrassI, the series attempted social commentary by crafting storylines featuring a wide range of issues affecting '90s teens, includ- ing alcoholism, drug abuse, sex, and depression. Groundbreaking and iconic, 90210's fourth season finds most of the cast beginning their first year of college at California University, moving out on their own, and facing the challenges of adult life. Disc 1 includes the following episodes: "So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye," "The Girl From New York City," "Little Fish" and "Greek To Me." Additional Actors: Joe E. Tata, Michael Cudlitz, Mark Kiely, Jennifer Grant, Katherine Cannon, Rachel True, Matt Porretta, Zachary Throne, Brooke Theiss, Paul Johansson. -
