Kurt Vile, the childish prodigy himself, is back with another spaced out, classic rock stoner jam. His first official song from his Square Shells EP, the trippy “Invisibility: Nonexistent,” finds him trying out something a little different than he did on last LP, the excellent Childish Prodigy.The track starts with a surprisingly clear voiced Vile singing over some tripped out music before slowly fading into his a gentle, spaced out jam that eschews his normal fuzz and chaos for a breezy melody. The track is a cool seven plus minutes, so settle in and enjoy as Vile does what he does best.

NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR TO INSPECT EMPLOYERS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH CHILD LABOR LAWS
US Fed News Service, Including US State News June 25, 2007 The New York State Department of Labor issued the following news release:
State Labor Commissioner M. Patricia Smith today reminded all New York State employers, both public and private, that they must comply with the child labor laws when employing minors. “Department of Labor investigators will be patrolling this summer for compliance with the child labor laws,” said Commissioner Smith. “Enforcement of the child labor laws is a year-round priority, and the need for inspections is heightened during the summer months when minors are most likely to be employed.”With the end of the school year, the employment of minors rises dramatically, particularly in the restaurant, retail, construction, and recreational industries, among others. In order to ensure that this summer employment is in compliance with the law, inspectors will visit employers unannounced. Businesses and municipalities that violate the laws are subject to civil penalties, which can be as high as $1,000 per violation for the first offense. During 2006, the NYS Department of Labor cited 252 businesses for child labor violations and collected $120,800 in civil penalties. website child labor laws
The NYS child labor laws apply to the employment of all minors under 18 years of age. These laws prohibit particularly dangerous types of employment, such as working with certain kinds of machinery. Child labor laws also set work time limitations for children to prevent them from working excessive hours during the day, or working too late at night. There are also requirements regarding school attendance rules, employment certificates and permits. in our site child labor laws
With limited exceptions, minors not yet 14 may not be employed at any time – not after school nor during vacation. When hiring a minor aged 14-17 for non-agricultural employment, an employer must obtain “working papers” (a current, valid employment certificate) from the minor before work is started. The reverse side of the employment certificate states the permitted working hours for the minor.
Limited exemptions to these requirements apply. For example, golf caddies and babysitters do not need employment certificates, but must be at least 14 years old. Children who are at least twelve years old may do limited work on farms, or outdoor work with their families, and children who are at least eleven years old may work outside of school hours as newspaper carriers.
Minors may apply for employment certificates as follows:
