TANG - hold the press!

I got some tang from snob hill tonight. Says "Great NEW Flavor" on the front. Kraft hasn't updated their website to show the changes with this "Great NEW Flavor"s ingredients.

Ingredients:
Sugar, citric acid, <2% of natural and artificial flavor, ascorbic acid, maltodextrin, calcium phosphate, guar and xanthan gums, sodium acid pyrophosphate, artificial color, yellow 5, yellow 6, BHA

Yep. No artificial sweeteners. No extra vitamins. No Orange Juice Solids.

Old "New TANG" with Fruitrition(R):
Ingredients: SUGAR, FRUCTOSE, CITRIC ACID (PROVIDES TARTNESS), CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF ORANGE JUICE SOLIDS, NATURAL FLAVOR, ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), VITAMIN E ACETATE, NIACINAMIDE, VITAMIN B6, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), BETA CAROTENE, MALTODEXTRIN, SUCRALOSE, ACESULFAME POTASSIUM AND NEOTAME (SWEETENERS), GUAR AND XANTHAN GUMS (PROVIDE BODY), ARTIFICIAL COLOR,YELLOW 5; YELLOW 6; BHA (TO HELP PROTECT FLAVOR)

I can't decide if this is going forwards or backwards. Maybe someone found out that Fruitrition causes cancer. Or that you can't actually absorb any of the vitamins that they try to add. Time will tell. The internets are abnormally silent at the moment about this turn of events.

I can finally name you..

Late summer and fresh meaty tomatoes makes me think of Spain. Manresa.
Large long loaves of bread sliced thick at a diagonal. Tomato smeared
on top, a bit of salt and a whisper of olive oil. I never learned your
name, I just called you tomato bread and share with anyone who will
listen. Now I can name you, although mispronouncing horribly.
Pa amb tomàquet.

Furlough Info

Here's some info from the Department of Labor:

According to this no furlough days or vacation should be applied for
on call coverage. You should be paid your regular full time wages for
the time period covering on-call duties.

According to the FLSA, if a salaried employee works for a single part
of a day, the employer must pay the salary for the entire work week.
Carrying his phone, staying in town and being the point person with
the responsibility of manning the bat-phone is WORKING in my opinion.

http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/ESA/Title_29/Part_541/29CFR541.602.htm

"Subject to the exceptions provided in paragraph (b) of this section, an
exempt employee must receive the full salary for any week in which the
employee performs any work without regard to the number of days or
hours worked. Exempt employees need not be paid for any workweek in
which they perform no work."

None of the exceptions cover when an employer shuts down a facility or
furloughs any staff.

I'm not a lawyer but this seems pretty clear. If the campus requires
anyone to on be on call during the campus closure then that person,
and from what I can tell, anyone called in during this time, should be
paid for the week.
