I wanna get a job naming kitchen appliances. Seems like the easiest job ever. You know, refrigerator, toaster, blender... You just say what the thing does and then you add '-er'. Kitchen Appliance Naming Institute. "What's this do?" "It keeps shit fresh." "Well, that's a 'fresher'. I'm going on break."

NorthJersey has a look at a study on Jersey City's paid sick leave law

Our friends at NorthJersey.com took a look at a Rutgers University study on Jersey City's new paid sick leave law and it's implementation. Here is the definition of the new law up front:

The ordinance, which took effect in January 2014, requires local businesses with 10 or more employees to offer five paid sick days a year. Companies with fewer employees have to give them five unpaid sick days.

The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce, who are usually so hostile to workers gaining any benefit by law, say the study comes far too soon. They also said they didn't trust those performing the study that shows the new law being adapted quickly and well with little acrimony, because it's the Chamber of Commerce who are hostile to anything that doesn't report exactly what they tell it to say.

Tell ya what, you go read the article and then you decide.

Opening Day fever has hit!

Yankees, Mets and this one Tigers fan always feel that opening day is indeed the harbinger of true Spring. The smell of hot dogs, people congregating in big numbers outside all shaking off the winter's chill. Play Ball!

Let Tigers' announcing legend, Ernie Harwell, welcome Spring as he did every opening day with a short poem, 'The Voice of the Turtle'
