“Look at Clinton and Monica Lewinsky,” she said, referring to the former president, a frequent butt of Letterman’s jokes. “You have a naïve young woman, and the leader of the free world is interested in her. That’s pretty much an aphrodisiac.”

“I’m not saying,” she added, “that that’s what happened in Letterman’s case. But he’s rich and famous and that’s attractive, and he can use his position to get women in bed.”

Many companies have policies that restrict or prohibit relationships between a boss and his or her subordinates, and violations can be career killers.

That is exactly why such relationships are frowned on in the workplace and why organizations establish guidelines for such liaisons, especially when they involve a head honcho and subordinates. Such relationships can lead to sexual favoritism, a hostile work environment and straight out sexual harassment.

“When you have a boss and subordinate relationship, one person has power over the other,” said Linda Henman, the author of “The Magnetic Boss.” “Whether that person abuses the power is irrelevant, the perception is there.”

Kearns offered three types of claims:

• A subordinate can say they never wanted to be in the relationship in the first place and that their boss pressured them into it. “These harassment claims can arise years later,” she said.
• Even if the relationship was consensual, claims sometimes arise afterward that a boss retaliated against the underling because she didn’t want the affair to continue.
• And there’s the paramour claim. “People who say, ‘Gee, look at her sleeping with the boss and she’s getting all the best accounts, but I’m not getting those because I’m not sleeping with the boss,’” she said..

A major earthquake struck southern Haiti on Tuesday, knocking down buildings and power lines and inflicting what its ambassador to the United States called a catastrophe for the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation.

Several eyewitnesses reported heavy damage and bodies in the streets of the capital, Port-au-Prince, where concrete-block homes line steep hillsides. There was no estimate of the dead and wounded Tuesday evening, but the U.S. State Department has been told to expect “serious loss of life,” department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters in Washington.

“The only thing I can do now is pray and hope for the best,” the ambassador, Raymond Alcide Joseph, told CNN.

wow, fantastic, superb, fabulous,mischievous, flabbergast,  ugly NEWS hahahaha what a joke ?

“On December 16, 2009, Shock and Detonation Physics Group researchers heard a loud unusual noise from Technical Area 15, Building 562 after firing a shot from a large-bore powder gun (LBPG)…. the researchers conducted surveillance outside TA-15-562 and observed that two doors had been blown off the facility and concrete shielding blocks on the west and east side of the building were separated from the wall.”

Although no one was hurt, a POGO source puts the damage at around $3 million. We’re going to say it: That was $3 million of taxpayer funds well-spent. Forget those stem cell thingies. Blow up a couple buildings every month and we’ll have high school students flooding science classes like they were Jonas Brothers concerts.

After Noah Shachtman’s Danger Room picked up the item, a representative from the National Nuclear Security Administration sent a testy email to the blog claiming that “no building at Los Alamos was destroyed in this incident and any suggestion otherwise is the sort of irresponsible hyperbole we’ve come to expect from [POGO].” (They’re probably a little defensive due to the string of embarrassing safety lapses POGO has exposed at LANL over the years.)

OK, now we are getting into the semantics of destruction: The spokesperson was criticizing a press release POGO sent out titled “Los Alamos National Researchers Accidentally Blow up Building with a Cannon.” (Greatest press release ever?) That does not necessarily mean the WHOLE building was blown up, right? The Occurrence Report itself said that “two doors had been blown off the facility”—presumably in an upward direction? Furthermore… Oh, screw it, what the
hell are we even talking about: SCIENTISTS BLEW UP THEIR OWN BUILDING WITH THIS CANNON: viewmore

Should US apply heavy taxes in Health care spending during the Historical Recession to help Medicare Benefits and to Fight Financial Crisis?
It is a major question for now. Senators in United States are banging their heads over it. President Barac Obama is unsure of what to do next and how to tackle the situation?
The deep recession, the worst the country has endured in decades, has resulted in a loss of 5.7 million jobs since it began in December 2007. The unemployment rate hit a 25-year high of 8.9 percent in April.
The administration is pushing Congress to pass legislation this year to extend health care coverage to some 50 million uninsured Americans, preferring to tackle health care before Social Security.
Social Security will start paying out more in benefits than it collects in taxes in 2016, a year sooner than projected last year, and the giant trust fund will be depleted by 2037, four years sooner, trustees reported.The trustees project that the Medicare fund will be depleted by 2017, two years earlier than the date projected in last year’s report.

“Instead of getting existing public programs in order right now, some are saying we should create a new government-run health insurance plan,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, said in a reference to the administration’s health care proposals. “When we can’t afford the public health plan we have already, does it make sense to add more?”
Medicare’s condition is more precarious, reflecting the pressures from soaring health care costs as well as the drop in tax collections. The source from yahoo news http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090513/ap_on_bi_ge/us_social_security describes more:
The administration on Monday revised its federal deficit forecasts upward to project an imbalance this year of $1.84 trillion, four times last year’s record, and said the deficits will remain above $500 billion every year over the next decade.

Ever since its inception in January 2006 as a regular news portal, EverestUncensored.org has come a long way to the current phase of EU New Design, with lots of restructuring, enhancements and enrichments. EU has always had a strong belief in creativity, innovation and the liberal exchange of diverse views and opinions. Following the same belief, EU has added many remarkable features to its domain within a few months of its commencement, namely Life in Nepal, EU Photo Blog, EU Polls and so on.

EU has been fortunate to have many talented and dedicated contributors from different walks of life. The EU team felt it worthwhile to pay them back with something for their continuous and untiring contributions.

After more than a week of brainstorming, we came up with three categories, namely EU Photo of the Month, Top Blogger, and Most Active Contributor.

The award was distributed among the winners for the month of May on Monday amid a special function. Mohana Lohani, Executive Office Director of D2HawkeyeServices, handed EU T-shirts to all the recognized contributors. A framed version of the winning-picture was awarded to the winner of “EU Photo of the Month” Abhisesh Joshi. The other recognized contributors were Aashish Dutta Koirala as the “Top Blogger”, and Lava Kafle as the “Most active contributor”.

We would like to thank all the photographers, bloggers, commenters, reporters and visitors who have provided continuous support to the EverestUncensored with their creations and compositions in one way or another.

Wendell Phillips noted American abolitionist once said “Physical bravery is an animal instinct; moral bravery is much higher and truer courage.”

If you can’t recognize the HERO in this picture and wondering what’s happening there, then I have to give you the prologue first.

More than 20 hours had past and rescue squad consisting of Nepal Army, Police, Trekkers and Locals were frustrated and tired. Even after their continuous effort, attempts and re-attempts they were not able to rescue two and half year old girl, who had fallen in narrow gorge some 60 meters down below the ground. [gorge of Seti river in Pokhara, Nepal].

Then our Hero “Kamal Nepali” comes forward and volunteers himself for the rescue operation. Not knowing what lies ahead into that dark and mysterious gorge. Rescuers saw the hope as his body was small enough to crawl deep inside the gorge. But some objected pointing at his age and size, but our hero was determined and he insisted. He was the best available option left there.

After half an hour into the unknown, Kamal appears with the girl. Mission accomplished, he SAVED LIFE that day. Crowd cheered and applauded, everybody including girl’s father hugged him, and there was tears of joy everywhere.

Next day I read two liners in Newspapers, “Teen saved girl’s life”, my personal view is we should not be stingy on writing about this HEROIC act. This should have been FRONTPAGE News if I would have been an editor.

Scene for the movie Enemy at the Gates:
Stalin’s envoy Nikita Khrushchev comes to Stalingrad and warns a group of Soviet political officers, “If the Germans capture this city, the entire country will collapse.” Khrushchev demands suggestions as to how to motivate Soviet troops to stand up to the Germans, and Danilov proposes, “What we need are heroes.” “Do you know any heroes around here?” asks Khrushchev, to which Danilov replies, “Yes, Comrade, I know one.”

Don’t you think even NEPAL needs many HEROS like Kamal, at this juncture of time??
