National Seal Sanctuary
Issue 54
25th January 2011
Back
First we would like to say sorry for the long time between updates. Once again the Sanctuary has had a very busy winter rescuing grey seal pups from around the South West coastline. You can check out all the latest news by
clicking here
to read about this season´s rescues.
We have had a couple of new arrivals, first was Guido rescued on the 15th January 2011 from Porthgwidden, St Ives. This little boy was 25 kilos but had bite wounds to flippers and face. He is 16 weeks old and this week was moved through to the main hospital from isolation 2. He is doing well and self feeding hopefully it will not be too long before he moves to our outside nursery pools and mixes with other pups.
Next was Flo rescued on the 18th January 2011 from Porthmeor also at St Ives, she was 8 weeks old and weighed 16 kilos, she had ruckley breathing puncture wounds and a missing tooth.
We are now in the middle of the rescue season for grey seals and we now have many in the convalescent pool. The residents are behaving themselves.
Snoopy seems to mellowed over the summer and was happy to go into the convalescent pool with the others, she has even taken to going swimming in the pool with the other residents.
Sheba has taken to being the new 'Magnus' in this pool. A few years ago we had an old male seal in this pool who used to sit in the corner and wait for feeding time, Sheba now likes to do the same thing.
All the girls are looking well rounded in time for their annual moult.
Ray gave one of the team a bit of a scare the other day when he came up behind them, all he wanted was the water from the hose sprayed into his mouth.
Snoopy (
photo below
) also celebrated her 30th birthday this weekend and all the staff sang happy birthday to her and a few extra fish thrown her way.
As per every year there are always an argument or two in this pool between Flipper and Yulelog. Both have received a few wounds which are being treated by the Animal Care Team, but as always it does not last long and both are back to being best friends.
Marlin (
photo below
) is doing well with target training despite his lack of vision and puts his trust in the team completely, he will now come out fully on to the haul out area, he can still have his grumpy days, and will sit at the other end of the pool near the waterfall where the team cannot get to him if he does not want to do his training.
It has been 4 months now since Babyface arrived here at the Sanctuary and he has fully settled in with his new family Sija and Luna.
Andy and Chaff, our fur seals, have put on a few kilos over the winter months so both are now on new year diets to shed those extra pounds. Training continues do well with both Andy and Chaff.
Visitors to the Sanctuary over the last week have had a bit of a treat, as we had cleaned out the sea lion´s pool and it took a few days to refill. It meant feeding the sea lions from the outside of the enclosure, but visitors at the underwater viewing windows managed to get a good view and the children where comparing their height to sea lions, the sea lions were definitely taller.
André is still sounding like a squeaky door and continues to bark on a daily basis.
Photo below: Noito
The penguins have been enjoying some new enrichments toys, we have been using bath toys. Unfortunately the penguins showed no interest in them, so the toys have now been removed and its back to the drawing board for new games.
We have also been trying to weigh the penguins, so at feeding time we bring the scales into the enclosure in the hope they will stand on them, but it is taking a while for the penguins get used to the new object, and refuse to stand near it. All the penguins are feeding well and we have started to introduce small herring to their diet, which seems to be a big hit.
Starsky and Hutch, our otters, have had an increase in food as the winter months have been a little on the chilly side. Starsky and Hutch have had an extra chick in their food box, also have been treated to mill worms, which get hidden around the enclosure, where they have to use their little hands to get at the worms. Hutch has also overtaken Starsky and is now the bigger of the two.
All the animals in the paddocks have had extra food over the winter due to the cold, and are all looking nice and healthy.
The ponies are still managing to poke their heads through the fence and trying to eat the extra long grass just out of their reach.
Reef (
photo below
) is still doing daily patrols of the Sanctuary, checking and making sure everything is ok.
Paranormal Investigators spentan evening at the Sanctuary recently, confirming strange noises and going-ons at Gweek. Staff had heard voices in the main reception building and seen things down at the seal pools. The ouija board done later in the evening revealed Isabelle Rose who had passed away in 1928, but had arrived at Gweek on a boat, we are now doing some research to find out if this is true.
Boo, Roz, Wellington, Dap, Andy´s Platform, Fats Domino and the noisiest pup Rocket Dog
were released back into the wild on Monday 24th January 2011 at Gwithian.

ONE MEDIA CRITIC, Liz Swasey, won't cry if and when Disney/ABC drops Nightline for Late Night With David Letterman. Her reason: On June 20, 1991, Nightline broadcast allegations that the Reagan-Bush team connived with future arms client Iran to unseat Jimmy Carter, then didn't follow up when a congressional investigation "cleared" it in 1993.
Do right-wing media watchdogs have to reach that far back to find a beef with Nightline? The left-wing Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting regularly dings Nightline for skewing right and white in its choice of guests and experts and for favoring "elite opinion" and government sources (though not so much as Fox, or even PBS's NewsHour). But give credit where it's due: Ted Koppel is the sharpest, most serious anchor in the business, and his show is the best of the feeble TV news bunch. His show's plight is a grim telltale of how the media and marketing winds are blowing in an anxious time, when no one knows anything and everyone's afraid to get left out in the old—er, cold.
When ABC's scheme became public, media experts and buyers swarmed to explain what it all meant: Media conglomerates couldn't keep supporting prestigious "modestly profitable" shows like Nightline; they had to go for the bigger, younger audiences of hip shows like Letterman, whose ad time costs 38 percent more than Nightline's. But it turns out Nightline's audience is larger. And it has, according to Koppel (who's not given to overstatement) earned ABC at least half a billion dollars in 20 years. May all your ventures enjoy such modest profits.
Ah, but it's not the numbers, it's the demographics, the marketeers say: You gotta get the young'uns, especially those elusive 18- to 34-year-old males, while they're still forming habits and "brand loyalties." Come 50 (and I admit, it's coming toward me fast) and you become an Invisible One, commercially and demographically irrelevant. Boomers, the first generation to become a commercially targeted subculture, feared and decried as a hegemonic horde that would swamp everyone else, are now a pariah plurality, written off by marketers, media, and our president (who's scurrying to perforate Social Security before boomer retirees can collect).
But where's the logic? Nightline's audience is age 50 on average; Letter- man's is just four years younger—hardly springtime in Fort Lauderdale. The same marketing mavens who talk of snaring impressionable young consumers say brand loyalties are a thing of the past, that you never really get customers, you have to keep getting them again and again. And who are the adventurous novelty-seeking consumers? Seems like the 50-year-olds I know are always casting about for the latest restaurant, book, or travel destination, while the 18-year-olds are eating at McDonald's and watching Scream 2 again.
This suggests two possibilities. Either advertisers and media executives, seized by collective delusion, are throwing money down the Younger and Dumber rat hole—or there's a logic to the strategy that they don't talk about. As the dot-gone bubble proved, any mania is possible, but I doubt this one is all delusion; money only goes down rat holes for so long without a payoff. So perhaps the operative word isn't "younger" but "dumber." Advertisers don't just buy numbers and demographics; they buy "environments," contexts conducive to their messages. At the most obvious level, airlines don't want to advertise beside plane-crash stories. At a more pernicious level, if you're trying to persuade people they need dangerous, gas-guzzling, road-hogging $50,000 mountain machines to drive to work, does it really make sense to advertise in media that stimulate their critical faculties and social consciences? Nightline may have gotten more fluffy and mawkish lately as Koppel takes nights off, but it still does five-part series on misery and chaos in Congo. Letterman's a smart guy, but he spends his time (and his audience's) talking about stupid stuff with stupid celebrities. His smug, easy sardonicism is a better chaser for mindless consumerism than expos鳠from Africa.
I admit I have no more statistical evidence for this theory than the go-young strategists do for theirs. But perhaps Disney—which also canned the discordant Jim Hightower soon after buying ABC—knows what it's doing. Too bad.
SHMOOZE BEFORE NEWS
Letterman's ascent marks another, less-noted trend: the triumph of shmooze and shtick over news and analysis in this post-information age. And not just in late-night TV, where Nightline was always the high-minded exception. News anchors come not as chroniclers of the world's woes but as guests at the family dinner table, with sappy banter that would send Huntley and Brinkley over the brink. Public radio is more and more about chatting and hamming, from Car Talk, Rewind, and the excruciating Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me to endless shmoozy "traffic reports" that fill the place of TV weather reports. We're not bowling alone, we're just listening alone. The airwaves have made conversation another spectator sport, like baseball, sex, and war.

Does it have to be so green?
Packaging for organic food products
Client
Self-initiated
description
In my graduation project from the Bachelor's program of Design at School of Design and Crafts (HDK) I attempted to challenge the clichés of graphic design for organic products and designed a packaging concept for a fictional food brand. The project had a special objective which was to explore ways to use the package as carrier for information about the enviromental impact of the packaging itself.
The process included research about packaging design and its effect on the consumer, an investigation of the Swedish market for organic foods, creating and defining a brand, and designing a coherent packaging concept for a product line which communicates the brand's values and appeals to the intended target group.
The final concept incorporates a meeting between traditional and modern values, and has a no-nonsense, honest approach that intends to give a trustworthy impression. Patterns and colors bring the design to life and work together with the typography to inspire a feeling of joy and passion for food. The paper-collage like stylization of the illustrations make them playful without being childish.
The project resulted in prototypes for a muesli package, tea carton and honey jar, as well as a manual that explains the application of the graphic program.

News
South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust,
(SECAmb) has been highly commended in two categories at this year’s
Health Service Journal Efficiency Awards.
The awards, which recognise healthcare efficiency and cost
savings at the same time as maintaining the highest levels of
patient care, were held in London on Tuesday 25 September. This
year there were more than 300 entrants.
SECAmb was highly commended in the Efficiency in Estates
Management category for its Make Ready initiative and in the
Workforce Efficiency category for its Unit Hour Utilisation
initiative.
SECAmb is in the process of rolling out its Make Ready
initiative across its Kent, Sussex and Surrey region. The Make
Ready system offers significant benefits for patients. Specialist
teams are employed to clean, restock and maintain vehicles which
means our ambulance clinicians, who routinely undertaken these
tasks, can spend more time treating patients.
The Unit Hour Utilisation initiative has saved £25m over four
years. Its premise is simple - making sure that the services’
resources match demand. This has been achieved by studying
when the service is most and least required, and then forecasting
future demand. Having this structure means that the Trust is able
to plan staff rotas and distribute resources to accurately reflect
demand.
SECAmb Head of Operational Planning, Rob Mason said: “Ambulance
resources are placed on duty when emergencies are most likely to
happen, with staff positioned so that they are near the patient
before the phone rings. The close alignment of supply to
demand, both by time and location, delivers some of the best
response times in the country, contributing to more lives being
saved.”
SECAmb Director for Estates, Geoff Catling added: “The Make
Ready system is a catalyst to achieving economies of scale and
efficiency. It ensures our vehicles are perfectly re-stocked and
cleaned and that more time is released for front-line clinicians to
spend on patient care. Safety for both patients and staff is
improved.”
“Those of us that attended the awards were very proud to be
there and have the opportunity to celebrate the success of the
Trust, and the hard work which has resulted in this
recognition.”

The following is a brief description of some of the self defense weapons and devices that we offer. For prices and more specific information on specific devices click on “Personal Protection” on the left hand side of our web page and select the specific item you are interested in.
Folding Knives
Security Camera King carries several different folding knives that can be used as self defense weapons. Fend off would be attackers with the flash of a professional folding knife. These knives are constructed of professional grade 420 stainless steel and are designed for easy opening with just one hand. We have a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and clip types.
Locking Cuffs
Locking cuffs aren’t always considered as a self defense weapon, however restraining an individual can be your first line of self defense. Security Camera King offers a variety of metal locking cuffs, including thumb cuffs, handcuffs, and leg cuffs.
Mace Pepper Sprays
The original chemical composition of mace was a 1% solution of phenacyl chloride, a tear gas chemical, suspended in a solution of 2-butanol, propylene glycol, cyclohexene, and dipropylene glycol methyl ether. Since this formulation is not allowed in many states and several countries, it is marketed on a limited basis by the owner of the registered trademark, Mace Security International. Most sprays designed as self defense weapons today and most marketed by Mace are now pepper sprays.
Pepper sprays so called because of their active ingredient, oleoresin capsicum, (also called “OC,” the ingredient that makes hot peppers hot!) cause uncontrollable coughing, choking, temporary blindness, and a burning sensation. These effects are all temporary and do not cause permanent damage. However, nothing says “BACK OFF” better than a one or two second burst of pepper spray. Even most law enforcement agencies and the military use OC pepper sprays as a self defense weapon. Security Camera King carries a full line of Mace brand:
• 10% pepper sprays;
• Pepper spray cartridges;
• Refill kits; and
• Holsters.
We even offer the Mace brand “Triple Action” spray that contains pepper, tear gas, and ultraviolet dye that can help to identify an assailant.
Animal Repellent
Not only can self defense weapons protect you from people attempting to do you harm, but attacks by animals are prevalent too. Just ask the postman, utility meter reader, or package courier. For times when the animal kingdom has you cornered we suggest our Mace brand canine repellent spray or even our Mace brand or Guard Alaska bear sprays.
We also carry an electronic ultrasonic dog repeller. This electronic device operates on a 9 volt battery to produce a sound that humans can’t hear but dogs can. The repeller also has a bright LED strobe light and together they can prevent a dog from advancing up to 40 feet away.
Stun Guns and Tazers
Stun guns are handheld devices that deliver a high voltage, low amperage charge when they come in contact with your assailant. This much electrical energy at once causes several reactions in muscle and nerve cells, interrupting their normal ability to function, throwing your attacker off balance and momentarily stunned, allowing you the opportunity to escape.
We have many varieties, types and accessories ranging from straight stun guns that deliver a 100,000 volt jolt, to stun guns that look like lipstick cases that deliver a 950,000 volt jolt to a flash light offers up a charge of 3.5 million volts.
Tazers have been called the stun gun that flies. Our Taser brand Tazers shoot two small dart-like electric probes into a potential assailant up to 15 feet away. Once the darts make contact, its time for power; several thousand volts of power.
We offer a full line of tazers and tazer accessories including holsters, batteries, and secondary cartridge clips.
So if it’s self defense weapons that you’re looking for, remember that Security Camera King carries more than just security cameras. Check out our full selection of items today.

I’ve been asked if recent events have caused a change in heart about Clemson and the Big 12. First, let me say I was never against Clemson going to the Big 12. What I said was if Clemson fans think going to the Big 12 is a way to get away from a league dominated by one or two schools then the Big 12 was by far the worst choice. Texas has, does and will dominate the Big 12. Don’t expect equal revenue sharing. Don’t expect “fairness”. Don’t expect equal footing and a “one school, one vote” mentality.
Expect Texas to get what they want. Sure, sometimes that may benefit Clemson, but don’t expect that to happen often.
Most of the Big 12 teams want 12 teams and a conference championship game. Not Texas. At least not now. Texas had to be dragged kicking and screaming to invite TCU and West Virginia just to get to 10 teams (after probably being “convinced” by their TV partners).
The Big 12 is a good football conference (but it too has its dogs), a pretty good basketball conference (Kansas, Texas, Baylor) and is typically a good baseball conference. Athletically, it would be an upgrade for Clemson.
A few more dollars wouldn’t hurt Clemson either. But then there’s the games in Ames, Iowa and Manhattan, Kansas and Waco and Lubbock, Texas to consider. Not just for football, but baseball and women’s basketball, for example. The pro-Big 12 crowd says, “We get to go to Austin” and “It’d be great playing Oklahoma!” They leave out the fact that with Texas and Oklahoma come Kansas and Iowa State, for example.
Forget about those non-revenue sports the proponents say, football is king. That’s the point – football pays for all those other sports and the cost of football AND those other sports will escalate when those games are being played on Central Standard Time in Ames, Iowa, or Lawrence, Kansas or Waco, Texas.
You hate nooners? Congrats – your game has just been moved to 11 a.m. Eastern so as not to disturb Texas.
Want to travel to see your team? Don’t plan on jumping in the car for the drive to Atlanta or Raleigh. It’s 1200 miles from Clemson to Lubbock and more than a 1,000 from Clemson to Austin.
Hate having your games on ESPN3? Just wait till you get a load of the Longhorn Network.
I’m not against Clemson to the Big 12 or any other conference as long as that decision is based on the future and what is best for Clemson, not some childish grudge for what supposedly happened 30 years ago.
You think Swofford and the ACC have “mistreated” Clemson? I’ve got news for you – Texas runs circles around North Carolina in the power and influence departments. Just ask Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri and Texas A&M.
And one more thing, be prepared to be considered a “newbie” that doesn’t get equal revenue or an equal vote on conference matters. Be prepared for Texas to get their way.
I’m curious what other fans think – What should Clemson’s move be and why?

The company maintain a strong ‘Made in our own backyard’ ethos, with a small team of skilled men and women working with homegrown materials on original machines – still sewing strong. Of course, based in NC they’ve access to some of the greatest denim in the world, created on Cone Mills shuttles.

For those who prefer their jeans more slim line but struggle to find a good pair in solid selvedge, Raleigh might just be the answer. Alongside their trademark indigo, check out the casual shirts and a rather smart leather ‘Barracuda’ jacket.

Mosquito® LCPTTP Labtech
Description
Membrane proteins are difficult to purify and crystallize as they require highly viscous lipids or detergents instead of aqueous solutions for them to retain their true structure.
TTP LabTech’s mosquito® LCP is designed to overcome common problems with accurately dispensing nanolitre quantities of viscous lipids, allowing you to dispense LCP right down to 25nL. The automated calibration of syringe and pipette positioning ensures very precise drop-on-drop placement to facilitate automated imaging.
mosquito® LCP includes all the functionality of the standard mosquito® Crystal, so is also capable of automating traditional vapour diffusion cyrstallisation set-ups in any commercially available plate. It uses the proven positive displacement mosquito® tips for screen additions which offer our standard guarantee of zero cross-contamination.
TTP LabTech also offer additional components to enhance your workflow, such as an optional humidity cover and an automated mixer for preparing LCP.

Southeast Freshmen Loves to Volunteer
College of Education
Volunteering is something that not all people enjoy. Southeast Missouri State University freshman Kelsey Magee, of Columbia, Ill., thrives on it.
Kelsey, an elementary education major, volunteered in many organizations in high school, and she said she looks forward to becoming involved in more volunteer projects at Southeast.
“In high school, I was a volunteer coach for a sixth grade volleyball team. I really enjoyed being involved in high school, and I hope to be involved in volunteering and other organizations here in Cape Girardeau,” Kelsey said.
Joining the sorority Alpha Xi Delta and the Junior Pan-Hellenic Council has already enhanced Kelsey’s volunteer opportunities at Southeast. Kelsey recently participated in Alpha Xi Delta’s Autism Walk, and she plans on getting more involved in the sorority by running for an office during elections.
Being a freshman at a university can be overwhelming at first, but Kelsey said that joining a sorority has helped her ease her way into college and meet wonderful friends.
“Joining Alpha Xi Delta was probably the best thing I could have done for myself because of the opportunities it presents,” Kelsey said. “I have a larger group of friends, it encourages me to keep my grades up, and it keeps me active with volunteer work.”
Kelsey said that receiving the Regional Achievement Award financially enabled her to join the sorority. The Regional Achievement Award provided Kelsey with in-state tuition plus 10 percent because of her outstanding ACT score and high school grade point average.
“Because of the Regional Achievement Award, I am able to be involved in different organizations which you must pay dues to belong, like Alpha Xi Delta. It has opened many doors for me here at Southeast,” Kelsey said.

Incumbent Brad Montell is once again facing Democratic challenger Bill Young this November.
Montell is financial advisor and broker at his company, W. Brad Montell Investments.
“I think the state is facing several major challenges, and obviously there are always challenges in state government, but right now the number one challenge we must address is the state pension systems,” he said...
Shelby County is growing, and the Triple S Planning Commission wants to make sure it's growing in the right ways.
"In the past decade, Shelby County has experienced a period of remarkable growth and change, undergoing a considerable increase in population," Triple S Planning Commission Chairman George Best said in a release. "Due to this extraordinary growth, the Triple S Planning Commission needs a solid map for future direction. This map is our Comprehensive Plan."
The four individuals elected to the Simpsonville City Commission next week will have to deal with residential growth, maintaining public services and possibly taking steps toward creating a downtown area in the city.
The four commissioners who are currently sitting on the board are all running for reelection. They will compete with two challengers for the four open seats next Tuesday.
The election, which is non-partisan, will decide who works with Mayor Steve Eden and City Administrator David Eaton for the next two years..com.

Tracking Sub Domain Stats on Main Domain Google Account
OK so we created a subdomain recently,. When this subdomain was built, I gave the developer our main google tracking code (the one that is put on our main domain). When I look into my google analytics account for my main domain I am not seeing any tracking data for this new subdomain. How can I find this? Did I use the wrong google code, if so, is there a way to retrieve this information? When I look at the admin level under tracking info I see that it is tracking subdomains so i assumed that this should work.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
Pat

The Mozza Cookbook
Sometimes it’s the simple things. In this case, it’s a recipe for long-cooked broccoli. Many people hate broccoli. But, I love it. It brings back many fond childhood memories. Many of those memories revolve around a holiday table filled with delicious food cooked with lots of heart and served with loving hands.
The recipe you’ll find in the Mozza Cookbook is a similar version of the dish that I’ve eaten many times. The essentials in my family’s version are fresh broccoli, olive oil, fine sea salt, garlic, the juice of a lemon and a sprinkle of finely ground red pepper flakes. Toss it all in a bowl adding copious amounts of rich olive oil. Then, spread it out flat in a baking dish and cook it slowly in the oven under a low flame. The Mozza version adds onion, chile de arbol and freshly ground black pepper.
…lovely additions all.
The cauliflower gratinate sounds equally rich and delicious. And, it’s on my very short To-Do list. These two recipes might sound simplistic. But, it’s an eye for the simple things done right that speak to real Italian home cooking. That’s what I love about The Mozza Cookbook.

THURSDAY, June 28 (HealthDay News) -- Supporters of the Obama administration's health care reform law said Thursday that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision upholding the landmark legislation protects the health of millions of Americans, but critics claim it does so at the expense of key civil liberties and exacts a high economic toll.
The 5-to-4 ruling "means millions of Americans can look forward to the coverage they need to get healthy and stay healthy," Dr. Jeremy Lazarus, president of the American Medical Association, said in a statement.
"This decision protects important improvements, such as ending coverage denials due to preexisting conditions and lifetime caps on insurance, and allowing the 2.5 million young adults up to age 26 who gained coverage under the law to stay on their parents' health insurance policies," Lazarus said.
Already, about 54 million Americans are benefiting from expanded preventive and wellness care coverage, Lazarus noted.
But many of those who oppose the legislation fear the federal government is intruding into the lives of private citizens.
"I'm disappointed that the Court is willing to give the federal government the power to tell you what has to be in your health care plan down to your contraceptives and mammograms," said John Goodman, president and founder of the National Center for Policy Analysis. "That's a great deal of power."
Economically, the Affordable Care Act "is one reason economic recovery has been so anemic," he suggested. Although hours worked across the United States are now what they were before the recession, hiring is not at pre-recession levels, he said, attributing that lag to "Obamacare" insurance requirements.
"The mandates come with a big price tag for employers and employees," Goodman said. The cost of family coverage works out to $6 an hour, he added.
Whether for or against the law, experts voiced relief that a decision was reached.
"We're very relieved and eager to move forward from here now that we have some certainty," said Dr. Glen Stream, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians.
The law's comprehensive primary-care initiative ensures funding for important health practices related to the "medical home" approach, he said. Preventive services, such as wellness coaching, dietitians and electronic record-keeping programs, are now accessible to many Americans through public and private payers, he noted.
Another benefit, according to Stream, is the provision for primary care work-force training. "Federally qualified community health centers have the capacity to train family physicians, which is critical," he said.
"Now we can work on other meaningful reforms," he said, mentioning liability reform.
Alison Renner Manson, manager of government affairs and policy for the National Coalition on Health Care, predicted that Congress has some hard work ahead. In some ways, the ruling was only the tip of the iceberg, she noted.
"The decision upholds existing law, so we're not looking at major changes," she said. "A lot of decisions on health care need to be made over the next year that will have a larger impact."
For instance, even with the Affordable Care Act in place, as much as one-third of U.S. health spending benefits no one's health, Manson said.
"It's an ongoing problem we have to deal with one way or another," she said. These issues include unnecessary or duplicated tests and services, excessive administrative costs, and instances of fraud and abuse, she explained. "We want to get more for our health-care dollars, but we don't want people to go without services," she said. And for that to happen, consumers, politicians and policy makers will have to work together, her group believes.
Because the court decision upheld the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act under a constitutional tax provision, there could be surprise financial implications, some say.
Karen Ignagni, president and CEO of America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), said in a statement that she anticipates financial obstacles as a result of the ruling. AHIP is a Washington, D.C.-based trade association representing the health insurance industry.
"The law expands coverage to millions of Americans, a goal health plans have long supported, but major provisions, such as the premium tax, will have the unintended consequences of raising costs and disrupting coverage unless they are addressed," she noted.
"Health plans will continue to work with policymakers on both sides of the aisle to make coverage more affordable, give families and employers peace of mind, and promote choice and competition," she said.
Figures reviewed by AHIP indicate that the minimum essential health benefits requirement "will result in less affordable coverage for individuals, families and small employers by forcing them to 'buy up' and purchase more coverage than they may want or need," she added.

Oaka Williams, a reserve end and placekicker on one of Tennessee’s most storied championship football teams, died Wednesday at his home in Bluefield, Va. He was 77.
The 1949 graduate of Bluefield High School earned All-State honors before attending West Virginia University and then Tennessee. He hailed from the same hometown and was a teammate of Bob Davis, a three-year starting center for the Vols who went on to a long coaching and administrative career in the UT Athletics Department.
The two Virginians were part of Tennessee’s 1951 consensus national championship team that went undefeated through the regular season and played in the Sugar Bowl.
After his playing days, Williams returned to his hometown and worked for both Reid Belt and Rubber Co., and Wysor Electric. He owned O.H. Williams Electric Co., and Big Oak Swimming Pool and Supply Sales.
He probably was most recognized for his guidance and affection for the youth of the surrounding area. Williams built Harmony Acres swimming pool in 1953 and operated it for 36 years. Since 1994, he was employed by the town of Bluefield maintaining the pool.
As a lay person, his knowledge of mechanics, electrical, swimming pools and building was widely sought by many residents and contractors. Williams was an active and supportive citizen of the Bluefield community and a member of the First Christian Church of Bluefield, W.Va.
Williams is survived by his wife of 56 years, Gail, and children Gary (son) and Tammy of Bluefield, Va., and Valerie (daughter) of Bluefield, Va. He had six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Information was gathered from last Saturday’s edition of the Bluefield Daily Telegraph.

Individual tickets for four Tennessee home football games—UAB (Sept. 13), Northern Illinois (Oct. 4), Wyoming (Nov. 8) and Kentucky (Nov. 29)—were made available early this week for fans to purchase online at UTSports.com.
Tickets for Northern Illinois and Wyoming are $40 each plus shipping and handling. Tickets for UAB and Kentucky are $50 each plus shipping and handling.
“Every year we receive tickets back from some of our visiting opponent allotments,” said Mike Hamilton, men’s athletics director. “We hope that by making these tickets available in the summer, our fans will have more opportunities to make their football plans.”
The athletics department does not expect any visitor returns from Florida, Mississippi State or Alabama. But should those become available, any remaining single tickets can be purchased either online, via phone at (800) 332-VOLS and at the Thompson-Boling Arena ticket office beginning July 21.

Lawyers for the Stow Lake Corp. could not convince a Superior Court judge Tuesday that the company has a legal right to keep managing the Golden Gate Park boathouse, but the saga seems destined to continue.
Oliver Holmes, a lawyer for the longtime boathouse manager, said that his clients will probably appeal a judge’s decision dismissing their lawsuit seeking to throw out a decision awarding the contract to another company.
The company, which has managed the boathouse for about 65 years, has fought to be the long-term leaseholder. Citing a lack of investment, city officials have denied the company’s applications five times since 2006. Company officials complained every time.
Finally, an independent panel convened by the Recreation and Park Department last year recommended awarding Ortega Family Enterprises a 15-year contract at the boathouse, mainly because of its plan for renovations. The Board of Supervisors unanimously ratified the decision.
Stow Lake Corp. lawyers argued that the selection process was corrupt and that the department unfairly favored Ortega.
The lawsuit attracted outsized attention once it was revealed that Rec and Park staff advised Ortega to hire a well-connected lobbying firm.
"I think it was a lack of judgment to suggest a particular firm," Judge Loretta Giorgi said Tuesday. But she noted that the decision was ultimately unrelated to the issues she was presiding over. "There’s no question in my mind that this process was done in a forthright manner," she said.
Giorgi said Stow Lake Corp. lawyers did not have evidence that prove the merits of their case. "This needs to move forward," she said.
The company was supposed to vacate the premises March 22, but it has remained in place because of the litigation.
Another company lawyer, Paul Rosenlund, implied after the hearing that his client won’t be leaving soon. "They’re still tenants and they have holdover tenant rights," Rosenlund said. "Does The City want to risk the liability it would incur by throwing out a business that’s been there for 65 years?"
Rosenlund’s colleague Holmes said the judge misinterpreted what qualifies as the "highest responsible bidder."
Meanwhile, parks General Manager Phil Ginsburg said, "We are excited about moving forward."
A Stow Lake timeline
Ortega Family Enterprises was awarded its contract to replace Stow Lake Corp. in February, and has already purchased a fleet of boats anticipating the move. However, it is unclear whether Ortega will be managing the boathouse this summer.
- June 21, 2010: Independent panel scores Ortega as highest bidder
- Aug. 19, 2010: Recreation and Park Commission votes 6-1 for Ortega
- Feb. 1: Board of Supervisors unanimously approves Ortega’s contract
- March 4: Stow Lake files petition for temporary restraining order
- March 22: Ortega scheduled to take over this date
- May 17: Judge denies temporary restraining order, but Stow Lake lawyers say appeal is likely

Imagine. Addiction experts know the end of that story too well — Jack and Bill go on drinking. They’re feeding their addiction today and promising to deal with it tomorrow.
A similar scene is playing out right now on the world stage. Imagine that President Barack Obama is Jack, Greece is Bill, and the fifth of Old Crow is a bailout package from the International Monetary Fund, paid for by the U.S., Germany, France and other European nations.
But, just as Jack didn’t mention to Bill that he borrowed the Old Crow from somebody else (whom he promised to repay), the U.S. must borrow from others to fund today U.S. to Greece via the IMF will be with funds that first must be borrowed from China or somebody else.
As Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla, often says, Washington has a spending addiction and too many officials here depend on the same kind of denial that addicts use to shield themselves from reality. Take away their booze, heroin, sex or whatever, and they scream to high heaven, make all kinds of promises about quitting tomorrow, and otherwise say anything to get another fix. Most Washington politicians react similarly when they are told they must stop spending money the government doesn’t have. Tragically, addicts often have to “hit bottom” before they will get help. If Washington finally hits bottom, it will be a Great Depression or worse.

WINDFALL
Title: WINDFALL
Original title: WINDFALL
Section: Panorama
Director: Laura Israel
Cast list:
Credits: screenplay: Laura Israel; director of photography: Brian Jackson; editor: Laura Israel, Stacey Foster, Alex Bingham; music: Hazmat Modine, Barbes Records; production design: Alex Bingham (art director); producer: Laura Israel, Autumn Tarleton; production: CAT HOLLOW FILMS;
Country: USA
Year: 2010
Running time: 83
Colour: Colour
Format: HD CAM (HDTV)
New Yorker Israel’s WINDFALL is as much the story of a small upstate New York community, Meredith, torn asunder as it is an expose of the massive wind turbines that split the residents. Energy salesmen from an energy outfit in Ireland offered locals money if they would agree to allow them to build the structures on their land. In a town with no zoning, the reps anticipated huge profits. The residents were split, mostly along lines of lifetimers (for) and weekenders and expatriates from New York City (against), culminating in a new slate of candidates for the municipal elections proposed by those opposed to the alternative power source – and Israel generates suspense by following the run-up to the vote.

"The Beards back on twitter.....Lets Rage!!!!!!!!"
With that, Brian Wilson returned to Twitter this week after a long break. Within an hour of initiating @BrianWilson38, he had 4,000 followers, and the number zoomed toward 20,000 by Thursday evening.
While others simply sign up for Twitter, Wilson typically took it to an extreme and visited the Twitter headquarters in San Francisco on Wednesday, toting the World Series trophy.
Wilson's previous venture on Twitter ended abruptly in April 2009 after he implied in tweets that he was partying into the night - the next afternoon, he blew a save opportunity.
It turned into a controversy that prompted Wilson to remove all his posts and write, "WARNING-do not take my twitters seriously, they are made up stories that reflect my humor."
Pretend parade: Some Giants and a group of indefatigable "fans" participated in Giants promotional photo and video shoots Thursday outside the Old Mint building in downtown San Francisco.
The fans, standing on a small set of bleachers, sent up cheers repeatedly for more than four hours as they watched players leaning out of a fake cable car.
Giants on the scene included Buster Posey, Tim Lincecum, Freddy Sanchez, Pat Burrell, Sergio Romo and Cody Ross.

Williamsport, Pa. -- Petaluma hit four home runs, got 12 strikeouts from its pitchers and made no errors Sunday at the Little League World Series.
Yet it lost a heartbreaker 9-6 to Goodlettsville, Tenn., which snapped a 5-5 tie with four runs in the top of the sixth.
Two wild pitches and four passed balls proved too much for the Sonoma County kids to overcome, leaving them 1-1 in the tournament and facing elimination if they lose again. Petaluma now must win two games to get to the final in its bracket.
Petaluma plays Parsippany, N.J., at 1 p.m. PST Monday (ESPN).
In Sunday's loss, the first inning proved to be a struggle for pitcher Danny Marzo and catcher Austin Paretti. Marzo, a left-hander, couldn't find the groove early, and Goodlettsville was able to score two runs on only one hit, plus a number of balls that got past the catcher. Marzo then started hitting his spots, striking out the side with a mix of curveballs and fastballs.
Petaluma answered in the bottom of the first with singles by Porter Smith and Logan Douglas. Bradley Smith, the 6-foot-3 13-year-old who led the team to victory in its first game of the tournament, then hit a laser-beam home run down the left-field line to make it 3-2.
A big play in the second inning allowed Goodlettsville to take a 4-3 lead. After Brock Meyers doubled off the wall, a perfect throw from Logan Douglas and a perfect relay by Porter Slate got the ball to the plate a split second before the runner made contact with Paretti, but the umpire called obstruction, allowing the run to count.
"It was a tough call. It could have (gone) either way, but I was OK with the call," said manager Eric Smith.
Goodlettsville got out of trouble in the bottom half, ending Petaluma's rally with a double play after singles by Quinten Gago and Cole Tomei. Douglas took the mound for Petaluma with two outs in the top of the third and got a crucial out with a runner on second, keeping the score 4-3.
Goodlettsville picked up another unearned run in the top of the fourth with the help of a passed ball and an infield single. Petaluma's Kempton Brandis then led off the bottom half with an opposite-field home run off a fastball, making it 5-4.
"A positive attitude and a will to do your best drives Kempton," said his mother, Rachel Brandis.
Slate opened the bottom of the fifth with a game-tying home run off a pitch that was up and in after falling behind 0-2. It was Slate's 12th home run in his past 23 tournament games. He had only one home run during the regular season.
"For the past five years, Porter has dedicated many hours working outside of practice, and his dream came true," his mother, Heather Slate, said.
In the sixth and final inning, Goodlettsville scored two runs on a double and two on a home run. Tomei got one run back with a two-out homer in the bottom of the sixth, and Petaluma got another runner on, before the Tennessee squad got the last out.
Bradley Smith will pitch Monday. As the cleanup hitter, he is 6-for-7 in the tournament, with two doubles and two home runs.
"We have not lost two straight all year. I am confident the kids will come out and play hard and win tomorrow," Eric Smith said.

The mayor of Sacramento walked out on Cal's basketball team Wednesday night.
Not that Kevin Johnson, a former Golden Bear player, was disgusted by what he saw while he took in the game from courtside as San Diego State scored a 77-57 victory at Haas Pavilion.
As a distinguished point guard in his day, Johnson probably knew what was coming as the No. 14 Aztecs used an 8-0 run to take a 51-42 lead and used a Cal timeout with 11:50 remaining to make his exit.
The Aztecs, however, were just getting started. Explosive, opportunistic and athletic, they outscored the Bears 36-17 in the last 14 minutes of the game to settle things and improve to 9-0 for the first time in school history.
"They're tough. That's a good team," Cal's Harper Kamp said. "This team really tried to get out in transition and speed the game up. That's their advantage because they're so athletic."
In falling to 5-3, Cal never looked more inexperienced. Eighteen turnovers by the Bears, 11 in the second half, enabled the Aztecs to stretch out comfortably from a 28-26 advantage at the break. Freshman guard Gary Franklin was 0-for-4 shooting, missing all three of his three-point attempts, and had three turnovers to conclude a particularly inept night.
Cal coach Mike Montgomery spent most of the game trying to find the right combination of players but the job was made more difficult by his team's poor shooting. The Bears hit on only 7 of 29 shots in the first half and for the game were 0-for-9 from three-point range.
Forward Kawhi Leonard and guard James Rahon did most of the damage for San Diego State. Leonard, considered one of the best players on the West Coast, scored 20 points in displaying NBA-like moves. Rahon added 15 points, 11 coming in the first half. The Bears had no answers for them.
"We are a good team. To come in here and win the way we did I think lets a lot of people know that, because we beat a good team," San Diego State coach Steve Fisher said.
Cal once again got the most it could out of its three experienced players, Jorge Gutierrez, Kamp and Markhuri Sanders-Frison, as they scored 45 of their team's 57 points. Gutierrez had 19, Kamp 18 and Sanders-Frison eight, to go with a game-high 12 rebounds.
"I don't know what you can do," Montgomery said, referring to Leonard in particular. "I guess the theory is that a good player is ultimately going to get it going. I'd like my kids to be bigger, stronger, faster. All you can do is ask them to give their best effort."

Education
"For what purpose should one cultivate wisdom? May you always ask yourself this question.
--Daisaku Ikeda
.jpg)
(Nov. 2000)
Ikeda believes that the task of education is to foster people of character who will contribute to building a just and peaceful world. He is also a firm believer in the importance of empowering young people.
Ikeda has put into practice the philosophy of Soka or "value-creating" education of Soka Gakkai first president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944), a student-centered approach based on a belief in the limitless potential of every individual.
He has founded the Soka education system, with kindergartens in six countries, elementary to graduate level study in Japan and a liberal arts university in the USA.
He has delivered lectures on themes related to peace, Buddhism and the human condition at more than 30 universities and academies worldwide, including Harvard University, the University of Bologna, the University of Havana and Peking University.

National group rarely gets involved in local politics
by Mike Andrew -
SGN Staff Writer
In a surprise move, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) announced on February 28 that it was endorsing Washington state Sen. Ed Murray for mayor of Seattle.
'This is a good day for us,' Murray campaign consultant Sandeep Kaushik told SGN by phone. 'This is a really big deal!'
HRC, which typically does not get involved in local races, has 1.5 million members nationally and some 65,000 in Washington state.
'Ed as an individual is so unique,' Lacey All, a member of HRC's national board of directors, told SGN. 'He has such a long history of changing politics, not just here [in Washington] but nationally. We thought it was important to acknowledge that work.'
'It's boots on the ground, volunteers,' Kaushik said, explaining the significance of HRC support. Kaushik added that once Murray is legally able to begin fundraising again - which he is prohibited from doing while the legislature is in session - it may be a financial base as well.
'I suspect that as we get into springtime, many of our members will want to get involved,' All said. 'The best is still ahead!'
'EXCEPTIONAL DEDICATION'
In its endorsement statement, HRC was effusive in its praise for Murray.
'State Senator Ed Murray has changed the national landscape for LGBT equality by demonstrating exceptional dedication over his more than 15 years in public office in fighting for equality for all Washingtonians,' HRC President Chad Griffin said in a statement.
'He has shown unwavering commitment to taking on - and winning - the tough fights that are paramount to our community, including successfully building bipartisan support for Washington state's historic marriage equality legislation in 2012 and then playing a major leadership role in the successful effort to approve Referendum 74, which upheld that law.
'It is rare for us to get involved in a local race, but we know Ed Murray as a national leader on LGBT issues, and that is why we endorse him with great enthusiasm.'
Griffin added that Murray's leadership extended far beyond the arena of civil rights.
'Senator Murray is a champion for Seattle and time and again has demonstrated his leadership skills in making progress on difficult issues like improving education, strengthening environmental protections, funding critical transit and transportation improvements, and writing budgets in tough economic times that still protect the poor and vulnerable,' Griffin said.
MURRAY PRAISES HRC
For his part, Murray said he was 'honored' to get HRC's endorsement.
'I know first-hand from our recent R-74 marriage equality victory how active and engaged HRC members are, and I believe their support will make a huge difference in powering my campaign to victory in August and November,' he said.
In addition to HRC, the LGBT Victory Fund and ERW have endorsed Murray's campaign. The only other local race HRC has gotten involved in this year is Lesbian Christine Quinn's campaign for mayor of New York City.

This book will show you how being aware of your breathing can have a profound impact on your physical and emotional health in a most positive way. Whether you are interested in stress reduction, easing a chronic breathing problem, or exploring the more spiritual aspects of breathing practice, this illustrated guide will provide you with practical, simple exercises to calm, energize, and generally enhance your sense of well-being. The author, Dennis Lewis, also shows how becoming more conscious of your breathing can reveal a lot about your self-image and help you deal more effectively with difficult emotions and situations.
"This is by far the most compelling and complete book on breathing I've ever read. It is 'must' reading for everyone who is interested in optimal health."—Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
"Lewis teaches us how to assess our breathing and provides practical tools to help us learn to breathe better and create a healthier balance in our everyday lives. He makes clear that how we breathe reflects who we are and the manner in which we express ourselves—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This book is a wonderful resource for anyone who wishes to improve his or her health and vitality through the breath."—Len Saputo, M.D., coeditor of Boosting Immunity
"Dennis Lewis has a deep understanding of the central importance of breathing, in both its physical and spiritual dimensions—as the breath of life and the breath of the spirit. This book is a practical, inspiring guide to opening yourself to the larger energies of life through the medium of the breath. Highly recommended!"—John Welwood, author of Toward a Psychology of Awakening
"A delightful and innovative path to the most profound truth, shared by the world's greatest healing traditions: the way through any trauma, stress, illness, or injury is to first put attention on the breath. The reader will not only understand through Dennis's inspired writing, but get to experience through numerous excellent, practical exercises how conscious and authentic breathing is the gateway to enhanced health and vitality."—Meg Jordan, Ph.D., author of The Fitness Instinct and founder and editor of American Fitness
"It is extremely difficult to write well and truly about the healing role of breathing both in our everyday life and on the way to great self-knowledge. Dennis Lewis succeeds through a rare combination of clear-headed, practical thought and spiritual sensitivity."—Jacob Needleman, author of The American Soul
"Dennis Lewis is a colleague, teacher, author, poet, and dedicated student of the breath and breathing. Free Your Breath, Free Your Life is not just a good book—it is a great book. It is required reading for all my students attending the Optimal Breathing School. It should be required reading for everyone."—Michael Grant White, Executive Director, Breathing.com
"This is a truly inspiring and informative book. It is a master breath-worker's book for those who wish to attain breath, and thus self-mastery."—Dr. Joy Manne, author of Soul Therapy, editor of The Healing Breath: A Journal of Breathwork Practice, Psychology, and Spirituality

How is pain diagnosed?
There are no tests to determine whether or not a person is in pain. Doctors may ask a series of questions to try to characterize and locate the pain to determine its cause and find a treatment. Doctors may also move the limbs or touch various spots on the body to try to figure out the source of the pain.
- Piedmont Heart Institute answered:
There is no way to tell how much pain a person has. No test can measure the intensity of pain, no imaging device can show pain, and no instrument can locate pain precisely. Sometimes, as in cases of headaches, physicians find that the best aid to diagnosis is patients own description of the type, duration, and location of pain. Defining pain as sharp or dull, constant or intermittent, and burning or aching may give the best clues to the cause of pain. These descriptions are part of what is called the pain history, taken by the physician during the preliminary examination of a patient with pain.
Physicians, however, do have a number of technologies that they use to find the cause of pain. Primarily, these technologies muscles. The first set gives the patient a mild shock that stimulates the nerve that runs to that muscle. The second set (MRI), provides physicians with pictures of the body's structures and tissues. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to differentiate between healthy and diseased tissue. A neurological examination enables a physician to test movement, reflexes, sensation, balance, and coordination. X-rays produce pictures of the body's structures, such as bones and joints.
This answer is based on source information from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
During a physical examination, a doctor will inspect the area of pain, looking for visual signs of causes, such as trauma and injury. Depending on the location, the doctor may test joints and muscles for strength and range of motion.
- Blood and urine tests: Blood and urine tests can help diagnose diseases that may be causing pain. They can identify abnormal amounts of hormones, enzymes, or other body chemicals that may indicate disease.
- Computed tomography (CT) scan: Computed tomography (CT) scan is an x-ray that uses computer technology and can be enhanced with the injection of a contrast dye into a vein. CT scans allow for multiple X-rays to be taken from different angles around the body where the pain is located to create a three-dimensional image of internal body structures. CT is used to show abnormalities in bones and soft tissue. CT scan can be used for individuals who are unable to tolerate MRI.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests use a powerful magnet to produce images on a computer screen and film.. Some individuals may have to be sedated using a mild sedative such as alprazolam (Xanax®) or lorazepam (Ativan®). If the individual is sedated, transportation should be organized using a family member or friend.
- Nerve conduction studies (NCS): Nerve conduction studies (NCS) evaluate muscle or nerve damage. These tests function by measuring the speed of electrical impulses through the nerves.
- X-ray: X-rays are low doses of radiation that create an image of a body part, organ, or bodily system on film paper or fluorescent screens. X-rays show the alignment of the spine and may reveal degenerative joint disease, fracture, or tumor.

How can I stay physically active as I get older?
- Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics answered:
Older adults should still engage in some form of enjoyable physical activity. Here are just a few ways to get the exercise your body needs:
- Walk around the block or around the mall. Invite a friend for companionship and motivation. Mall walking is safe, especially in bad weather.
- Do some gardening without electric tools.
- Go swimming or try aqua exercises. These are great activities, especially if you're not steady on your feet.
- If you golf, get a caddy or pull-cart and walk the course.
- Go dancing. Even a moderate two-step is good exercise and a great social activity.
- Take a class in Tai Chi, a series of slow, controlled movements.
- Keep your arms strong by lifting "weights" like canned foods, bean bags or even one- to five-pound hand or ankle weights.
- Include stretching activities that increase the range of motion in your ankles, knees, hips, neck and back.
- National Academy of Sports Medicine answered:
The common recommendation has been that adults obtain at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week. Remember that does not have to come in long bouts. Exercises sessions can be done in short 8-10 minute bouts..
During the evening hours, instead of watching TV from the couch, do sit-ups and push-ups during commercial breaks. During the show, do lunges and squats to work the legs. If you do this through 2 TV shows you will be getting a good workout.
- Mark Dickey answered:
I strongly recommend the NASM OPT level-stability and muscle endurance & core strengthening program, about 4 to 6 weeks. You will want to ensure that you can demonstrate and have the strength and flexibility to maintain a good and healthy posture. The stability and muscle endurance level will allow the connective tissues to be strengthened and in condition to safely move into your resistance/weight lifting strength training cycle/phase.
You can also recycle into one to two weeks stabilization and endurance phase periodically during the course of a year as a recovery or break from the strength training and to recondition your connective tissues.

Vanishing Twin Syndrome
If you're taking fertility treatments to help you get pregnant, there's a higher chance that you could become pregnant with twins or multiples. Not all twin or multiple pregnancies end with all the babies reaching full term. Sometimes one of the fetuses disappears from the womb in a process that has been called the Vanishing Twin Syndrome.
Identifying Vanishing Twin Syndrome
In the days before ultrasounds and before the syndrome was officially recognized, VTS was identified by an examination of the placenta after delivery. If the fetus isn't completely reabsorbed then it can be flattened by its growing sibling(s) into a state that's known as fetus papyraceus where the fetus looks like a piece of parchment paper. Sometimes limbs and developmental features are visible depending on the gestational age of the fetus.
Nowadays ultrasounds allow a pregnant woman to see her developing babies as early as six to seven weeks gestation. She is told she is having twins or multiples at the early ultrasound. During a standard follow-up visit the doctor detects only one heartbeat with the Doppler. A second ultrasound is arranged to confirm that one fetus died. Some medical statistics suggest that VTS is very common with it happening in as many as 30 percent of multi-fetal pregnancies. It also tends to happen in women over 30.
The Cause
There is no known cause. There is nothing a mother can do to prevent this from happening just as there is nothing a healthy woman can do to prevent the miscarriage of a singleton. Sometimes an examination of the placenta shows placental or chromosomal abnormalities. Sometimes improper cord implantation is considered the cause.
Effects for Mother and Surviving Babies
First trimester vanishing fetuses don't usually cause any health problems for the mother or the surviving fetus. Often the deceased fetus will be reabsorbed into the placental tissue and amniotic fluid. There are often no symptoms typically associated with a miscarriage.
If the gestational time is a little later in the first trimester, then the deceased fetus may get compressed by its sibling(s) in a condition called fetus compressus. Or the fetus could get completely flattened and looks like a piece of parchment paper in a condition called fetus papyraceous. The pregnancy can continue as normal and the mother delivers a healthy baby (or two in the case of multiples).
There are more complications if this happens in the second or third trimester. Second or third trimester VTS is not as common, but can cause infection, pre-term labor or hemorrhaging. Careful medical monitoring and treatment is required and sometimes later Vanishing Twin Syndrome can end in the death of all babies.
Sometimes later term VTS results in remnants of the deceased fetus being found in the survivor in the form of a tertoma tumor containing tissue fragments, teeth, hair or bone. VTS after 20 weeks can increase the risk of the survivor having cerebral palsy.
Vanishing Twin Syndrome can be difficult emotionally for the mother whether it happens early in the pregnancy or later. Even if the other child or children survive, mothers (and fathers) need to understand and accept that it's okay to grieve the death of lost baby while still being happy about the surviving baby.

Vermont Senior Living
They don’t call Vermont the Green Mountain State for nothing. One of the most beautiful states in the northeast, senior living in Vermont has a lot to offer anyone looking for retirement options. Boasting the smallest population of any state east of the Mississippi, Vermont is routinely ranked among the top states for both health and safety with its low crime rates. Agriculture is an economic mainstay, especially dairy farming, with the production of milk, cheese, butter, ice cream and additional artisanal foods shipped throughout New England. Famous for its maple syrup, Vermont is also home to many wineries and microbreweries, as well as state parks, historic sites, and museums.
Senior citizens comprise 15% of Vermont’s population, well over the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau’s national average of 13.3%. With so many facilities to serve this growing demographic, Vermont senior living options are widely available.
Vermont Assisted Living Costs
According to Genworth Data, the average annual cost of a private one-bedroom assisted living facility in Vermont is $46,800. Prices may vary depending on location and care necessities.
- The State Agency Responsible for Regulating Assisted Living in Vermont is the Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living, Division of Licensing and Protection
- Regulations for Vermont Assisted Living Facilities
Retirement in Vermont
While Vermont is considered one of the most picturesque states for retirement, for those of you looking to make your nest egg last for years and years, you might just want to take an actual photo and keep on driving. That beautiful view comes with one steep price tag. Compared to the rest of the country, Vermont's cost of living is 16.70% higher than the U.S. average.
Adding to its high cost of living, according to Kiplinger.com, Vermont is not what you would consider very tax-friendly. In fact, it could be considered one of the most “tax-hostile” states in the US, especially for seniors.
Did you know that...?
- Vermont taxes most retirement income, including Social Security income *
- Vermont’s property taxes are among the ten highest in the U.S., according to the Tax Foundation.
- There is a property-tax exemption for veterans. The first $10,000 (may be increased up to $40,000 by a vote of the town) of appraisal value of the residence of a qualifying veteran, his or her surviving spouse or child may be exempt.*
- Vermont has no inheritance tax, but it does have an estate tax if property exceeds $2.75 million
Best Cities for Retirement in Vermont
Montpelier is the capital and adjacent to the mountains, making it a great community for those active senior types. Not too far away from the capital, Burlington is a lively college town on Lake Champlain that is also near the Green Mountains. Being so close to that clean mountain air gives this little city the great distinction of having the best air-quality measures in the nation. It’s also quite popular with the tourists, attracting 3 million visitors a year.
If you’re looking for something a little quieter than Burlington, there really is no shortage of senior community possibilities in Vermont. Brattleboro, Bennington and Middlebury both offer great options for retirement activities with reasonable housing costs.
Local Health Care
There are 15 hospitals and medical centers in Vermont. The Fletcher Allen Health Care Center is the number one hospital that meets the state’s strong performance standards.
Quick Medical Guide for Vermont:
Activities for Seniors
No matter where you go in Vermont, you’ll bound to find a variety of things to do. Every major town offers excellent dining, diverse cultural events, and shopping opportunities. For those looking for a little more action, Vermont senior living offers a ton of activities like skiing, snowboarding, bird-watching, and fishing in the Green Mountains.
Lake Champlainis also a popular resort town, attracting thousands of visitors every year. Often called the sixth Great Lake, it stretches for more than 120 miles between Vermont, New York, and Quebec. The lake, surrounded by the rugged Adirondack Mountains and beautiful Green Mountains, is the place to experience the state’s many outdoor festivals, historic events, and everything from water sports like swimming and skiing to fishing, hiking, and mountain biking.
Local Weather
Just as extreme as its cost of living, Vermont’s climate is not for the faint of heart. Although summers are pleasantly mild, the winters are brutally cold with frequent snowstorms. And that’s just the way the locals and visitors prefer it as a nice fluffy snow storm makes for some killer skiing! Check out Vermont’s current temperatures!

One of my favorite television shows, Seinfeld, was not only funny, but it also perfectly discussed the New York City experience. If you have ever lived in New York City you are bound to have come across one of the quirks of the City that was memorialized on the sitcom.
For example, my wife and I once received a ride back from Long Island after a formal affair from a friend of a friend. The ride took about an hour and a half and this person dropped us off one avenue (about 3 city blocks) away from where we lived because he didn't want to have to drive around the avenue and a couple of blocks. It was also raining and my wife was wearing a dress and I a suit and we were both carrying an overnight bag. It was reminiscent of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine went skiing with her friend and her friend didn't want to drop Elaine off in front of her apartment building because the friend would have had to drive around the block.
Seinfeld comes into play in Anthony Weiner's social media scandal because there is an episode where George decides that he should do the opposite of everything he has done his entire life in order to become a success. To avoid or respond to a social media crisis or scandal act in the exact opposite manner that Weiner did. These are some examples in no particular order of how not to act like a Weiner:
1) Don't take naked or inappropriate photographs of yourself with a smart phone or a camera and then upload them online. Instead, if you enjoy looking at yourself naked stand in front of a mirror.
2) Don't have sexually charged conversations online with others and/or send them inappropriate photographs of yourself. Instead, listen to Avenue Q and "The Internet is for Porn" song.
3) Don't wait days to talk with an attorney once your actions have become public. Instead, hire an attorney immediately and be truthful with your legal counsel.
4) Don't falsely claim that a crime has been committed to explain an errant social media post. Once Weiner refused to file a police report it was evident he was lying. Instead, be truthful about the matter. If your attorney believes a crime may be involved due to the online behavior do not go on the record with an explanation because that may be utilized against you at a later date.
5) Don't hold multiple press conferences and act obnoxious and indignant towards the media. Instead, treat the media with courtesy.
6) Don't lie to your political staff. Many congressional staffers work long hours for years with little compensation because they believe in the causes that the politician champions. Instead, be honest with your staff or do not go on the record with them if your attorney advises against discussing the matter.
7) Don't lie to your constituents, colleagues, and friends. The cover up is almost always worse than the initial activity and digital footprints will most likely expose the truth. Instead, if your attorney advises that there is no legal liability involved honestly explain what happened even if it is embarrassing. The American public is extremely understanding and is willing to forgive their politicians, athletes, entertainers, and heroes. If your attorney advises against discussing the matter publicly refuse to answer questions regarding the matter until your lawyer advises otherwise.
8) Don't drag out the situation. If there appears to be no legal liability apologize immediately. Delaying the inevitable apology will only further fuel the media frenzy and create more anger. Don't follow Tiger Woods' social media scandal playbook.
9) Apologize, apologize, and apologize. When you thought you have apologized enough apologize some more. Show contrition and humility. You need to demonstrate remorse for all the harm you have caused.
10) During a resignation do not pretend you are General Douglas MacArthur giving his "I Shall Return" speech. Instead resign with grace and humility. Weiner's resignation speech sounded more like a political stump speech than a resignation. Weiner should have shown more contrition. For example, during his resignation speech he stated, "most importantly my wife and I can continue to heal from the damage I have caused" and that "I will be looking for other ways to contribute my talents".
In general, the public does not care how Weiner will heal or be able to contribute his talents. He has been over-exposed (no pun intended) and people are sick and tired of looking at him and listening to his untruthful statements. New York may have to spend more than a million dollars to hold a special election to fill his former congressional seat so why didn't Weiner apologize to all of the taxpayers who will now have to foot the bill for his reckless behavior?
Weiner's short-term economic situation may be difficult; however, his long-term economic prospects may be rosy. If he stays out of the spotlight for a period of time, demonstrates that he has learned his lesson, shows contrition, and makes penance he may be able to make a comeback. I think it may take years before he may be able to make a political comeback; however, a professional comeback as a political analyst or a lobbyist may be around the corner.
Weiner may want to utilize social media to launch his professional comeback when the time is right. However, he should stay away from social media until he is able to utilize the medium without sending out inappropriate material. If Elliot Spitzer is able to make a comeback after only a few years Weiner should be able to do so also.

You may not have time for regular make out sessions between work, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning and laundry, but remember how good it felt when you did have endless kissing time? Recreate that romantic feeling by starting a make out session with your man. Instead of turning on the TV after dinner, turn him on – it will be a lot more fun for both of you. Wrap your arms around him or sidle up to him on the couch and start kissing. He'll be pleasantly surprised, and we're willing to bet the night will be a good one.
Surprise your guy one night by cooking a romantic dinner just for him. Make his favorite meal or try to recreate a restaurant meal he recently raved over, pick up a bottle of wine, light some candles and dress up for the occasion. Right before he gets home, slip into the dress that drives him wild. Between the tantalizing aroma of whatever you have in the oven, the romantic atmosphere and the outfit you're wearing, your man will be like putty in your hands. Not to mention how great he'll feel knowing you went to such lengths to show your love. It's easy to let everyday life push romance out of the picture, but it can be easier than you think to bring it back.
When was the last time you sent your man a text about something sexy? Chances are most messages revolve around when he's going to be home, what he wants to for dinner and whether or not he's going to have time to take a look at that leak under the sink – not exactly the stuff in romance novels. Inject some sex appeal into your texts this week by doing some digital flirting. Tell him how great he looked when he left for work or how you can't wait for him to get home later. Think back to some of the things you used to tell him on a regular basis but that have now fallen to the wayside. A little text flirting can go a long way when it comes to creating a spark.
Like text flirting, sending a few short but suggestive emails can do a lot to bring back the romance in your relationship. Seducing him via email may seem impersonal but it's actually a great way to create heat and spice things up between you. All you need to do is use your imagination – share a fantasy, tell him about all of the things you want to do to him when he gets home – you get the idea. Write in a way that feels comfortable to you and that you know will turn him on and get him going. Your emails don't have to be long – just intriguing enough to make him want to leave work early to get home for some sexy fun with his wife!

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE: CAREER SERVICES AT SHEPHERD
Most students are primarily concerned with getting through school and graduating on time. However, it is never too soon to start planning for the future and what lies beyond commencement day. Accordingly, Career Services is an excellent resource for students to take advantage of right here on campus.
"Students should visit the center as early as their first year to help with the career planning process because it begins when you start college," said Betsy Sheets, director of Career Services.
Career Services provides multiple tools to help aid students with their future such as writing and developing resumes and cover letters, job searching, career fairs, internships, co-ops, interview tips, and assistance with the graduate school application process said Sheets.
A Strong Resume
Developing a strong resume is key in a student's success said Sheets. In addition, it can be tailored to specifically fit the student's goals and career aspirations. "If they know exactly what job they're seeking, then we gear their resume exactly to that particular job," Sheets said. She also provides a worksheet to begin the process of thinking about what the student has done during his or her college career that could be added to a resume. Once this is completed, a professional resume is formatted. While Sheets prefers to meet in person because the student gets more out of a one-on-one appointment, it is also possible to work via e-mail on such things as resume critiques.
Internship Opportunities
Taking advantage of internship opportunities can also be beneficial. "Internships are a vital way to gain experience and network with others so that you can make connections with others when you complete your college career. Students who don't take advantage of this often struggle when they graduate because they don't have any experience and information on their resume," said Sheets.
Career Fairs
She also strongly recommends that students attend one of the numerous career fairs that are offered throughout the year to assist in finding the right job.
The Shepherd University CareerFest, which is held in the fall, is an event where students have the option of dressing casually to gain experience and exposure at a job fair or dressing professionally when seriously seeking a job. "We don't promote that as a professional type of job fair because a lot of students want to get a taste of what a job fair is like, so they want to go from class to the fair and don't want to dress professionally," said Sheets. Seventeen employers were on site for the fair in October. Sheets also said that the fair is a great way for students to learn about volunteer opportunities, internships, and co-ops.
Another popular event is the Cumberland Valley Consortium teacher fair hosted in the fall at Gettysburg College. "This past October, when Shepherd visited the fair, we had the highest number of students to attend, which was great because our students had the farthest distance to commute there," said Sheets.
There is also the Health and Human Services Fair that held in November. This fair is focused toward the nursing department. Local employers as well as those from the D.C. and Northern Virginia area attend to recruit new employees.
Other fairs and events that Career Services offers include the CVC Job and Intern Fair held in February, a teacher recruitment day for education majors who are getting ready to graduate in March, and a virtual job fair held online from May to the end of July.
Online Tools
Students who are feeling the pressure of choosing a major and a minor should take advantage of FOCUS, which operates as an online interest assessment tool for students who don't know where they want their career to go. It helps students become aware of their skills and interests and matches them with appropriate career options. While some students often want to remain an undecided major for a while to complete their general studies requirements, it typically narrows things down for their future decisions, Sheets said. Taking the time to do this can often prove to be extremely beneficial when students enter the workforce as well. "We find that those who can focus on the interests they have end up enjoying their jobs and the work that they're doing," said Sheets.
Interviewing Techniques
The interviewing process also plays a key role in landing the career a student wants. "Being well-prepared for an interview comes across as soon as you meet the interviewer," said Sheets. She feels that body language, eye contact, and appropriate posture are extremely important. One thing that can help is to practice. "Everyone gets nervous, at least to some extent, with an interview so practicing is very important," said Sheets, who has a plethora of handouts and tidbits of information regarding things students should and should not do during interviews. She can also do mock interviews and provide videotapes that students can sign out and take home. In addition, specific question that are typically asked by employers and questions that students should be asking the interviewer are available.
Students who are approaching graduation also have a few things to consider that career services can assist with. According to the "Game Plan for Graduation," a handout available from Sheets, seniors should decide what the time frame of their job search is going to be or when they want to obtain the job. They also need to think about where they plan on living, what jobs are available in that area, the salary they are looking for, and what jobs are available.
Professors Are Resources
Sheets also stresses the importance of students utilizing their professors. "Use your faculty members as a resource because not only do they teach in the field but a lot of them have also worked in the field that they are teaching in, so they have great networks with other employers or colleagues that can be helpful." Another word of advice she offers is to not wait until the last minute to obtain letters of recommendation because students may have difficulty doing so once they graduate.
Workshops
In addition, students should be aware of the various workshops that are offered in areas including resume writing, interview skills, correspondence, and networking. To take part, students need to call Career Services or send an e-mail. If a student doesn't want to attend a workshop, an individual appointment can be made as well Sheets said.
Help for Alumni
If you're one of those students who discovered after graduation that putting off thinking about your future career perhaps wasn't such a good idea, help is still available. "I see a lot of alumni shortly after they graduate needing assistance," said Sheets, who also noted that all services are open to both current students and alumni as well.
Career Services is located on the ground floor of Gardiner Hall. For additional information, call 304-876-5122, e-mail [email protected], or log online to.

UK's Conservative government was all, "Terribly sorry, pardon us," after abandoning a plan to sell off all state-owned forests over the next decade. The proposal, which would have privatized historic woodlands like Sherwood Forest, had been met with a unanimous "Bollocks!" from the British public. Score one for the people. (via NYT Green)

Haw. "[Nature] is yet severely careful to keep her own secrets […] She permits us, indeed, to mar, but seldom to mend, and, like a jealous patentee, on no account to make," Hawthorne writes, which is a pretty explicit way of saying that science has its limits (23). Man, Hawthorne implies, can't play God..

The members of this clique are best known for being in charge. You'll see their faces on Xeroxed fliers all over campus come election time. But unlike a lot of kids in this group, Creon didn't start out with political aspirations. He actually tried to avoid taking the throne, but inevitably he was sucked in to the world of politics, where the power swiftly went to his head.
Widely known as "that-dude-who-killed-his-dad-and-slept-with-his-mom," Oedipus is one of the most famous kings of Thebes. Oedipus was given the throne of Thebes and the hand of Queen Jocasta by Creon after Oedipus saved the city from the man-eating Sphinx. This turned out to be a major disaster, though, because unbeknownst to anybody, Oedipus was Jocasta's son and had unknowingly killed the old king of Thebes, Laius, on the road. Oops.
Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, was one of the biggest, most powerful dudes in Greece. When his brother's wife, Helen, ran off with Paris of Troy, Agamemnon was a shoe-in for five star general to lead the Greeks against Troy. Though there were a ton of Greek kings who rounded up their troops and sailed to Troy, Agamemnon was by far the kingliest.
Theseus was a big deal hero and King of Athens. His biggest claim to fame was braving the Labyrinth of Crete where he slew the man-eating Minotaur, a monster with the body of a man and the head of a bull. Before that, he kicked the butts of six unruly bandits, bringing law and order to the land around Athens. He also got in couple major disagreements with our buddy Creon.
Here he is. The biggest, baddest king of all: Zeus, king of the gods. All the other puny mortal rulers in this clique look up to this guy, who is basically in charge of everything in the universe. Is it just us, or is that just way too much responsibility?

Auden was writing his poems during a time when all the cool poets were writing in free verse. These poets wanted to break poetry apart, make it less stuffy, more free and fresh.
But not Auden. This dude loved him some poetic forms. In fact, he's pretty much the master. Even while the other guys hated rhymes and all that formal poetry stuff, Auden stuck with them, and got really, really good at writing in forms. Much of the power of "Funeral Blues" lies in its repetitive, heavy rhymes, and its play on the elegy form.

The EPA has pursued an aggressive regulatory agenda, creating barriers for job creation, future investment and expanded operations by placing burdensome and costly rules on manufacturers.
Coal-fired power plants are the latest facilities to face EPA’s most recent round of regulations. Last week, one of the largest electricity providers, the American Electric Power Company announced that they will have to shutter five plants to comply with these absurd mandates.
Increasing the cost of energy and killing jobs won’t stimulate the economy or help reduce unemployment.
An editorial in today’s Wall Street Journal cuts right to the chase:.
The Journal concludes that the EPA is imposing “willful damage” and “the least Congress can do is force the EPA to delay the final rule…though a better option would be to junk it.”

Vol. 45, No. 10
How to get the best relocation deal for your company.
With the growing economy, U.S. companies are expanding across the map—and thousands of employees are moving along with them. The number of corporate moves is almost the same as personal moves, according to the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA). In 1998, 42 percent of household goods moves reported were classified as corporate employee relocations, compared to 43 percent as personal moves. The rest were classified as government or military moves. During 1998, the number of reported employee relocations reached nearly 299,000, up from 279,526 in 1990.
This means HR staffers and managers are overseeing a rising number of employee moves each year. And in a great many cases, their companies are contracting one or more van lines to conduct those moves.
There are several issues to consider when negotiating a relocation contract with a household goods (HHG) carrier. Here’s a rundown of the main decisions to be hashed out when working up a relocation contract, some suggestions on negotiation and a few pointers on what to look for in a HHG carrier.
Keep it Personal
The first advice is to meet face-to-face with a representative of the prospective HHG carrier to promote the most effective, direct communications possible. Allow the carrier to see your facility and to get a feel for your business and company culture. Visiting your facility and meeting your staff will give the carrier a better feel for your business, the personalities in your administration and the standards you will expect. On the same note, plan to visit the van line agent’s facilities and meet the staff. A tour of the offices and warehouses will give you the opportunity to ask questions and talk to employees you meet during the tour, which is a good way to gain insight into the company’s approach to doing business and its attitude toward quality and customer service.
“An HR manager should not make any decisions about a relocation contract without a minimum of two personal meetings with the carrier representative,” states Karl Rau, assistant vice president of contract administration at Atlas Van Lines in Evansville, Ind. “There are details and pricing decisions that require careful consideration. It takes both parties working closely together to determine needs and [to] develop a plan that’s going to create an optimum partnership between the company and the carrier.”
The van line’s information and communications system is an important factor in maintaining good relations. Find out if the carrier can be reached day or night, how that can be done and the name of your contact. If your department relies heavily on e-mail and the Internet, ask about the van line’s e-mail system and if an intranet might provide a link for your company.
“The van line’s communication and information systems are really important when you look at their overall capabilities and how you’re going to stay in touch with them on a day-to-day basis,” stresses Sally Coffin, corporate carrier manager for Intel Corp. in Chandler, Ariz. “For Intel, this factor can carry just as much weight as several other benchmarks that we look for in a household goods carrier.”
Doing the Research
The first order of business is to determine your employee relocation needs for the next year or two as closely as possible. Also, the van line representative will ask whether you plan to transfer employees only within the continental United States, or if moves are anticipated to Canada, Alaska or any other global location? Other questions you need to be prepared to answer are:
Is your typical relocation permanent or temporary?
Will any of your employees require storage for their household goods?
Will they need to have automobiles or pets transported?
Do you anticipate relocating an entire office or division within the next year?
Based on your answers, the carrier representative should first assess whether the van line has a network of trusted, quality moving agents and backup facilities available to handle the volume and locations of the moves you anticipate, especially during the busiest summer months. If the carrier and its network of partners cannot handle the volume of moves you anticipate, you may have to begin looking at another carrier or consider contracting more than one van line to get the job done.
Ask the agency representative questions about fellow agents and agents used outside the booking agent’s geographic area. You should be concerned with the average frequency and severity of damage claims reported on their moves, who directs their operations, the quality of their warehouse facilities and whether the agents who will conduct these moves are experienced in corporate relocations. Ask for names of other companies the agent has served and use those companies as references on the van line’s work, if possible.
“Even though we think of household goods moving as a pretty basic service, moving companies and their way of doing business can differ greatly,” notes Robert Brizuela, director of relocation at Charles Schwab & Co. in San Francisco. “Be careful to choose a carrier that’s a good match for your company’s culture and for its relocation needs.”
The Tariff
The tariff is the schedule of rules, rates and charges for the transportation industry set by the Household Goods Carrier’s Bureau Rate Committee, a division of AMSA. Because it is a complex system and subject to change, dealing with the tariff is probably the most daunting issue facing HR people when working on a relocation contract. But taking a simplified approach can help, Rau says. á
“It’s not a good idea for relocation administrators to get caught up in the tariff because of its complex nature,” Rau explains. “The better way to determine what moving charges will be is to start at the other end. Find out what services the majority of employee moves will require and the company will cover, then work with the carrier to determine a cost estimate based on those items.”
Taking this approach at the front end will accomplish another essential task: determining which moving services the company will authorize for the average move and which it will not. Typical authorized services would include packing, loading and unloading for the primary residence and warehousing costs when household goods must be stored. Services not typically authorized may include the packing of goods in a vacation home, the transport of an automobile or the transport of large exercise equipment.
The other tariff-related decision to clarify is whether to freeze tariff rates for the term of the contract or to go with the rates that are in effect when each move occurs. Just as with interest rates on a bank loan, freezing the tariff precludes the company from paying higher rates if the moving service raises those rates during the course of the contract. On the other hand, freezing will also prevent the company from benefiting from any rate reductions should they occur.
The Corporate Discount
With few exceptions, companies that contract with a carrier for a pre-determined number of employee moves will receive a discount on tariff rates. On average, corporate discounts fall between 48 percent and 58 percent and may be based on different factors, such as the number of moves anticipated and whether or not the company has chosen to freeze its tariff rate. Companies may expect a somewhat less generous discount if they opt to freeze tariff rates for the duration of the contract.
While relocation administrators may find that they can negotiate a deep discount with some carriers, it’s important to remember that cheapest isn’t always best. If the carrier agrees to an extremely high discount, the quality of employee moves may suffer because there’s simply not enough money left for the mover to provide top-notch services.
“There’s a definite correlation between price and service, and I’ve learned through the years that the deeper the discount goes, the more likely you are to find quality issues,” states Lynn Davis, director of global relocation services at Gap Inc., a company now initiating more than 1,200 moves per year.
Brizuela adds, “Five years ago, pricing and discounts were the issues we looked at first in our relocation contracts, but we found we did not get the best results that way,” he says. “Cost is still an important issue, but now we’re more concerned with service, the way the carrier takes care of our employees and how claims are handled.”
Terms of Pricing and the Discount
Once an agreement on the discount level is reached, the corporate discount can be applied in a number of billing situations. Here are some of the pricing options available through most van lines:
Bottom-line discount pricing. This option means the company is charged only for services, labor and materials that are actually provided for each employee move, less the agreed-upon discount. It is the most common pricing method employed in corporate relocation contracts. Remember that your corporate discount will not apply to work performed by third-party companies such as household appliance technicians and real estate agents. Also, cost for the storage of household goods is usually addressed separately.
Single-factor pricing. This gives an all-inclusive rate for a menu of services and is calculated according to the weight and distance of each employee move. Single-factor rate pricing is easier to understand than the bottom-line discount method, but it doesn’t give an accurate reflection of actual services provided. This method can be cost-effective in a move that requires most or all of the services included in the package but may not be as cost-effective for employee moves that don’t require some of the services included in the single factor rate. The corporate discount your company receives will be built into the single-factor billing rate.
Performance-based pricing. This ties the corporate discount into the customer’s satisfaction level with services provided by the carrier. In essence, the carrier is rated by the relocating employee on different service categories, and, the better the carrier rates, the lower the discount on services provided. On the other hand, if the employee perceives the quality of the move as “less than expected,” the company receives a greater discount. This kind of pricing can be especially effective when applied to a move that involves very expensive household goods and is most often used when the company is relocating an employee whose relative value to the company is considered to be “high end.”
The Contract and Employee Satisfaction
Before finalizing the relocation contract, you must agree on the duration of the contract. The typical contract will run from one to three years. Some are reviewed on a quarterly basis to address any problems or concerns. On contracts that are designed to run two or more years, a yearly pricing review may be written into the contract to allow for new cost agreements based on any changes in the tariff.
When negotiating your contract, be sure to determine whether your company or the carrier will provide post-move employee surveys so that you can gauge your employees’ satisfaction with their moves. Post-move surveys are indispensable in determining the quality of the carrier’s work. In many cases, both the carrier and the company send the employee a questionnaire once the move is completed. The van line normally sends the results of the survey to the company.
The Value of the Relationship
The final word of wisdom here involves the company’s relationship with the carrier or carriers who conduct their employee moves. Remember that, as with any business relationship, mutual respect can set the stage for a productive, successful partnership.
“I’ve always made a point to build a friendly relationship with our carriers, right down to the packers and movers,” Davis says. “We all like to feel appreciated, and I think we all do a better job when we feel our work is valued. The same goes for the people who take care of your employee moves. If they feel you respect them, the natural response is to pay you the same level of respect.”

New Club Petition
Sample Club Charter
School clubs and organizations are approved and chartered by the Associated Student Body (ASB). Only chartered organizations with a faculty advisor are eligible for activity sponsorships, fundraisers, fund requests or official school sanction.
Sheldon High School takes great pride in its diversity and seeks to offer clubs and organizations that all students may find an interest in. If you would like to form a club on campus see Mr. Grivel, our Activities Director, in the Activities Office. It is really quite easy to start a club on campus. The first step is finding a certificated faculty member (teacher, librarian, counselor, vice principal), who is willing to act as advisor. Complete a New Club Petition and a Club Charter (constitution) and turn those in to the Activities Office for approval by ASB. A sample club charter is available here.

Up on the Farm
Text by David Ferris | Photography by JJ Sulin
Flanner, 31, quit his job at E-Trade three years ago because he wanted to try his hand at farming. Still, he didn't want to give up his cosmopolitan lifestyle. He hands me a bag of mixed greens and waits expectantly for my judgment. They are fresh and tangy, the result of a special lightweight soil called Rooflite, made from mushroom compost and mineral aggregates, that's been dressed with the farm's own compost.
"Our leaves change with the weather, the compost, and the nature of the soil, which creates surprises. That's all really exciting for the chefs and the people who appreciate our produce," Flanner says. Among that number is Lois Burnett, general manager of MoMo Sushi Shack, who garnishes dishes with the Grange's microgreens. "The experience has been fabulous," she says. "The produce is really fresh, and we definitely like to talk about it [to our customers]."
A recent survey by Columbia University determined that 3,079 acres of public and private buildings in New York have rooftops that are big and flat enough to support urban agriculture. Most of these are in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. (Supplying all of New York's temperate fruits and vegetables would require 232,000 acres—an area larger than the city itself.) Onions, beans, and grains are poorly suited to urban growing, but rooftop farms could contribute a modest portion of New York's leafy greens, herbs, and vine crops like tomatoes and cucumbers.
Unless, of course, someone figured out how to grow a whole lot more food in the middle of the city in some other way.
Flanner knows where my next stop is. "Don't count dirt out," he pleads. "There's a lot to be said for dirt."
The next day is even more sweltering, and I arrive at Gotham Greens in the hottest part of the afternoon. This farm is in a desolate industrial stretch of Brooklyn near a wastewater-treatment plant. Unlike the Grange, it can be seen from the street—a greenhouse peeping over the roofline.
I walk up three flights of stairs and directly into a transparent 15,000-square-foot structure that is crowded with lush lettuce, cilantro, and parsley. No one is there. My sweat glands were bracing for the greenhouse effect, but somehow it seems a few degrees cooler than outside.
I yell hello and roust Viraj Puri, Gotham's 31-year-old CEO, who is there by himself after sending his 20 workers home because of the heat wave.
In contrast to my visit to the Grange, this interview is all efficiency. There are no interruptions. Puri explains how sensors located all over the greenhouse track temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and light levels. "All that information is fed back to a computer-controlled system, which is programmed to turn on and off to achieve the climate conditions that we desire."
There is a slight breeze created by two fans whirring overhead and vents in the ceiling and the walls, which the computer has wisely chosen to open. A layer of fabric has been drawn like a curtain over the ceiling to filter the sunlight. The Gotham model is all about control—over the building, crops, and visitors.
Puri has brown eyes and a square jaw, and his white button-down shirt shows not a speck of dirt. The entire facility, in fact, is spotlessly clean and meticulously organized, which perhaps is not surprising for an enterprise looking to create prodigious amounts of food without using soil.
The key is hydroponics. Along one wall are propagation trays, where buds of basil sprout from minuscule cubes of rockwool, a material made from superheated basalt. After a few days, the shoots are transferred to long white plastic trays, where they are fed by a stream of constantly recirculated water mixed with powdered nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium.
"Crops don't technically need soil to grow," Puri explains. "What they need is oxygen, CO2, sunlight, water, and nutrients, and we're able to provide it all right here to ensure really consistent yield, very healthy crops. And we don't contend with many of the issues that conventional farms face."
The greenhouse is as peaceful as a meditation center, attended by the faint sound of splashing water. The trays are perfectly aligned, and black tubes feed them at nearly identical vectors. Jenn Nelkin, the head grower, is a hydroponics expert who once grew cucumbers and bell peppers at the McMurdo research station in Antarctica.
