Typically, you can share text files without worrying about the underlying details of how the text is stored. However, if you share text files with people who work in other languages, download text files across the Internet, or share text files with other computer systems, you may need to choose an encoding standard when you open or save a file.
When you or someone else opens a text file in Microsoft Office Word or in another program — perhaps on a computer that has system software in a language that is different from the language that was used to create the file — the encoding standard helps that program determine how to represent the text so that it is readable.
What appears to you as text on the screen is actually stored as numeric values in the text file. Your computer translates the numeric values into visible characters. It does this is by using an encoding standard.
An encoding standard is a numbering scheme that assigns each text character in a character set to a numeric value. A character set can include alphabetical characters, numbers, and other symbols. Different languages commonly consist of different sets of characters, so many different encoding standards exist to represent the character sets that are used in different languages.
The encoding standard that is saved with a text file provides the information that your computer needs to display the text on the screen. For example, in the Cyrillic (Windows) encoding, the character Й has the numeric value 201. When you open a file that contains this character on a computer that uses the Cyrillic (Windows) encoding, the computer reads the 201 numeric value and displays Й on the screen.
However, if you open the same file on a computer that uses a different encoding, the computer displays whatever character corresponds to the 201 numeric value in the encoding standard that the computer uses by default. For example, if your computer uses the Western European (Windows) encoding standard, the character in the original Cyrillic-based file will be displayed as É rather than Й because in Western European (Windows) encoding, the value 201 maps to É.
To avoid problems with encoding and decoding text files, you can save files with Unicode encoding. Unicode accommodates most characters sets across all the languages that are commonly used among computer users today.
Because Word is based on Unicode, Word automatically saves files encoded as Unicode. You can open and read Unicode-encoded files on your English-language computer system regardless of the language of the text. Likewise, when you use your English-language system to save files encoded as Unicode, the file can include characters not found in Western European alphabets, such as Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, or Japanese characters.
Top of Page
If, when you open a file, text appears garbled or as question marks or boxes, Microsoft Office Word may not have accurately detected the encoding standard of text in the file. You can specify the encoding standard to use to display (decode) the text:
Note When this check box is selected, Word displays the Convert File dialog box every time you open a file in a format other than a Word format (Word formats include .doc, .dot, .docx, .docm, .dotx, or .dotm files). If you frequently work with such files but you rarely want to choose an encoding standard, remember to switch this option off to prevent having this dialog box open unnecessarily.
You can preview the text in the Preview area to check whether all the text is readable in the encoding standard that you selected.
If almost all the text looks the same (for example, all boxes or all dots), the font required for displaying the characters may not be installed. If the font that you need is not available, you can install additional fonts.
In Windows Vista
In Microsoft Windows XP
Tip When you open an encoded text file, Word applies the fonts that are defined in the Web Options dialog box. (To reach the Web Options dialog box, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options, and then click Advanced. In the General section, click Web Options.) You can select the options on the Fonts tab in the Web Options dialog box to customize the font for each character set.
If you do not choose an encoding standard when you save a file, Word encodes the file as Unicode. Usually, you can use the default Unicode encoding, because it supports most characters in most languages.
If your document will be opened in a program that does not support Unicode, you can choose an encoding standard that matches that of the target program. For example, Unicode enables you to create a Traditional Chinese language document on your English-language system. However, if the document will be opened in a Traditional Chinese language program that does not support Unicode, you can save the document with Chinese Traditional (Big5) encoding. When the document is opened in the Traditional Chinese language program, all the text is displayed properly.
Note Because Unicode is the most comprehensive standard, saving text in any other encoding may result in some characters that can no longer be displayed. For example, a document encoded in Unicode can contain Hebrew and Cyrillic text. If this document is saved with Cyrillic (Windows) encoding, the Hebrew text can no longer be displayed, and if the document is saved with Hebrew (Windows) encoding, the Cyrillic text can no longer be displayed.
If you choose an encoding standard that doesn't support the characters that you used in the file, Word marks in red the characters that it cannot save. You can preview the text in the encoding standard that you choose before you save the file.
Text formatted in the Symbol font or in field codes is removed from the file when you save a file as encoded text.
If you want to save the file in a different folder, locate and open the folder.
Note You can resize the File Conversion dialog box so that you can preview more of your document.
When you allow character substitution, Word replaces a character that cannot be displayed with the closest equivalent character in the encoding that you chose. For example, three dots replace an ellipsis, and straight quotation marks replace curly quotation marks.
If the encoding that you chose has no equivalent character for a character marked in red, the character marked in red will be saved as an out-of-context character, such as a question mark.
Word recognizes a number of encoding standards, and it supports the encoding standards that are provided with the system software on your computer.
The following list of writing systems shows the encoding standards (also called code pages) that are associated with each writing system.

News - Afghanistan
Afghanistan is a dangerous country for the press and journalists encounter serious challenges, said Afghan media watchdog Nai.
Two journalists were killed and 69 violent cases have been reported this year, according to statistics just unveiled by Nai.
Although a vibrant media and freedom of speech is one of the major achievements of the current government, Nai said these achievements remain fragile.
"Journalism and media work face serious threats and challenges in Afghanistan, both in security and restricting influence [from officials]. Afghanistan is still a dangerous country for journalists," said Sediqullah Tawhidi, head of Nai.
Nai unveiled a list of violent cases against journalists, including two assassinations, nine injuries, three arrests, 19 beatings, 11 cases of "insult" and 15 threats.
The government was identified as responsible for 25 of these cases, Taliban for four, Isaf troops for one and unknown people for 19.
Journalists expressed worry about these challenges.
"Insecurity increases daily in Afghanistan. Journalists are caught between the two belligerent parties: the government and insurgents," said journalist Mosafer Qoqandi.
"Freedom of speech will be ignored if the situation continues like this," journalist Matin Hamkar said.
Incidents of violence against journalists have decreased by 14 percent over last year. Journalists believe this is because fewer cases are being reported as previously reported cases are not resolved and people are afraid to come forward.

July 21:
An officer responded to a report of a vicious dog that was tied up in front of a business in the 400 block of Peace Portal Drive. The officer was advised that the store owner had asked the owner of the dog to please vacate the business and take his dog with him. The officer was unable to locate the dog and its owner.
A citizen asked to speak with an officer regarding a neighbor dispute in the 1000 block of Adelia Street. Officer made contact with the residence and found the reporting party had left the house immediately after calling the police. Another party at the house, who was also involved in this case, said she did not have time to speak with the officer as she also had to leave. The person was advised to contact the police upon her return.
Several people called and complained that a train had been blocking the crossing at Bell Road and Peace Portal Drive for about 30 minutes. Officers explained that federal law prohibits enforcement against the conductor for blocking the intersection. Officers did contact the railroad, who said they were working as fast as they could to clear the intersection.
Officers responded to a complaint in the 700 block of D Street that a male juvenile was having trouble keeping his pants up as he walked on a public street. Officers contacted the 16-year-old and his three younger companions. All four were found to be exhibiting the effects of having consumed liquor and were MIP. Reports will be submitted to the juvenile prosecutor for review.
A boat owner in the 200 block of Marine Drive yelled at two men who were rowing away in his $500 dinghy. The men jumped on to the dock, abandoned the dinghy and fled on foot. The dinghy was recovered and secured. A Blaine officer searched the area, but could not locate the suspects.
A person in the 600 block of A Street reported that a group of kids were running around paying in front of her residence and they were keeping everyone in the neighborhood awake. The kids were contacted hiding in their tent, which was pitched in the front yard of the apartment complex where they live. The kids were advised that it was too late for a game of tag. They were advised to stay in their tent and keep the noise down.
Blaine officers responded to a complaint in the 400 block of C Street that a neighbor�s dog walked into a residence and frightened the occupants. Officers located the dog and returned it to its owner. The neighbor apologized.
Officers were dispatched to check on a car in the 9100 block of Glen Eagle Drive that was sending a distress signal to Lexus� North Star program. Officers located the car and found there was no emergency. The battery in the car had died and when the owner jump started it, the car sent the signal.
Blaine officers assisted the U.S. Coast Guard by investigating a report of emergency flares near Drayton Harbor. Officers were not able to spot a vessel of any type. Near the time of the reported flares, WCSO deputies were advised of kids shooting off fireworks near Birch Bay state park. The Coast Guard was advised of all information. Blaine officers cleared without incident.
A person in the 300 block of Alder Street called police because an unknown person left a vehicle near his business. The unknown person calls every two to three weeks to see if the car is still there. Officers were not able to find any information on the vehicle owner. The vehicle will be impounded if not moved within 72 hours.

If you have a physical solution to the global economic & human development situation. Who would the best global leader to go to for help?
At the base of our economy is a sector. A primary sector that is absorbing 4 times as much of the global economic value added process as it should if it were to be corrected. Reforming this particular primary creates a flow on benefit that flows throughout the rest of the economic pyramid. Creating added value at every step. Because this is a "Global Primary Sector" the primary sector in question has been secure in the fact that there is currently no Government, NGO or international governing body with the influence or ability to fix it. So if the physical solution is true, who or what will take the lead on reforming a global primary sector? A genuine question to TED enthusiasts, especially if all the reform information is ready to be implemented with in weeks.

Feb 26 2013: Here is a video that will put this into perspective. http://youtu.be/7lxbM20AKM4
Feb 26 2013: Wow Brendan - that's radical .. I like it!
Where's the data?
Also - have you done any modelling on the method?
Right now I am going to vote for attilla the hun or Ghengis Khan - not because they will do anything directly positive, but because they will more quickly collapse the system that permitted the likes of them to exist in the first place.
Direct oposition seems to only prolong the agony and reduce our options after the end-game.
Feb 26 2013: 15 minutes ago: Modelling is not done on something no one has a model of yet. does that make sense?
You know what it is called though?
Unity, Global Unity...
Unpredictably powerful to those on the outside.
Supremely predictable to those on the inside.
I don't really need a leader as such. More a leading platform!
Do you understand that I am actually the leader I require? I just need my platform.
The data is and will always be in progress as this has never happened before.
Or you could simply ask the CEO's of the companies I have divulged. Like I have already done.
This is way beyond go Mitch!
Feb 27 2013: OK - I'll check the link now.
Cool yes.
It has been long understood how much gold lies in the ground. It is kept there very intentionally. I think it's probably the best indicator to your arguement - base metals are what drives not just ecoomic growth, but technological growth (.. I add the caveat that if you have gold, there is no constraint to technology - but there is a great constraint to the access to it if you have no gold).
The Citigroup brochure tells it all. There is no market any more outside of the plutocracy - if you do not sell to this market ... you are screwed.
That's because of the rate of gold extraction - nothing more.
Makes me larf when people harpo on about returning to the "gold standard". There is so much of it we could eat it. That, plus the understanding that not all oil is biological ..
But there are limits. The extraction rates of these things have system impacts. And as usual, the costs of that are being arranged to fall on those who have no gold.
All indications are that the plutocracy is poised to remove all access to gold (including fiat currency) from all but those who control it. This is a selective part of the current mass extinction - the line will be drawn when the human driven extinction reaches .. just before .. the no-return threshold (those who know . . know .. and that line will nto be stepped accross. It will be a sudden hitting of the wall for most humans. And let's face it - they are not required anymore. I say "they" but there is no guarantee that I will get through - so I might be part of "they". hey ho.
I was once a committed part of "us" and just watched on as "they" all fried their brains out with mobile phones and continued to eat more and more cummulative toxins (you have to add "Monsanto" to your list I think.
The platform is currency. Everything you say can be modelled quite easily - and probably has been long ago.
look at what currency is: curent value = investment - consumption . gold was never needed
Feb 27 2013: Einstein might disagree on time.
This is unchartered water.
The models are about I am sure.
However, you are missing that this is all metals all at once. Gold currency, metal technology, economic growth, investment confidence, cash velocity, Government involvement etc…
This is unprecedented especially when tied into the economic spaghetti mix.
I do not believe the current models apply in this scenario.
I would challenge any economist to predict the right outcome.
If you follow my LinkedIn profile, you will see the many chief economists and economic professors that are keeping an eye on my work.
The people on top may see this as an opportunity or equally as a threat or even a mixed bag.
The outlook is incredibly complex.
Feb 28 2013: I'll model it in NetLogo.
This is something I've been wanting to do for a while.
With your permission I can constrain a prime resource and call it "metals".
I have to warn you that these models are non-linear - and fixed-point attractors are rare.
Just at the onset - my belief is that agriculture lies at a more fundamental position - it is something that seems to have been precipitated at the end of the Younger Dryas.
The model will build some varients with and without markets, with and without currency.
I was prompted to get on with this model to examine currency - but I expect plutocratic monopoly to emerge with certain dynamics imbedded in the abstraction of currency.
I will also add adiction to the parrameter set.
It is started, but will take a while as I get control of the modelling tool.
Feb 28 2013: OK, About 1/4 through your paper.
Here's some things that might help - I have a comprehensive map of logistics as a global entity - it sits between supply and demand (including market nodes - retail).
The map is in 3 levels - strategic, tactical, operational this identifies the functional processes at each level with another dimension covering funding and another showing accounting. Happy to share the map if you like.
Here's some things to consider:
1. The human brain is divided into 3 functional nodes - proto, core and autobiographical. THis is far more significant than even neuro-scientists understand - particularly when one explores what teh autobiographical is and what it is for. It is cogent to the systemic anomaly which you identify.
2. Looks at De Bono's analysis of serial development - it helps.
I can't find the little youtube vid - but it's just about trying to construct a square out of shapes as they "turn-up" .. it all works fine, you can get clever and make squares by adding the shapes using inovatiive methods, but then a shape comes along that will not fit no matter what you do - it then becomes necessary to dismantle the entire structure before the new piece can be added - this is the principle of vested interest.
This phenomenon is exactly the same as the "local minimum" in the science of self-organising systems. Well worth researching.
In the usual order of things, local minima represent the truth within a specific perceptional span - it works so long as the span is wide enough, but if reality requires a widening of that span, the local minimum will begin to deliver error. This error will accumulate until the minimum is ruptured and the system seeks the lower minimum.
Depending on the "potentiation" which holds the local minimum together, the resulting "noise" of error will have a specific threshold before rupture. That threshold can be very high indeed.
Feb 28 2013: Practical questions:
Does slow explosive produce dust?
What is the average face-advance per cycle with 1. fast explosives, 2. slow explosives?
Next - what is the stability impact between slow and fast explosives? (roof stability/bolt/mesh requirement - assuming inclusion of fault frequency)
I can see a 1 hour cycle achievable using slow explosive - critical cost/benefit being face advance rate. Techniques might also include continuous face-advance if the face was widened and sectored .. which would be an advantage in vein tracking.
Mar 1 2013: OK Finished reading your paper.
It's a reasonable BPR analysis. But it will be ignored if it is not presented by a major consultancy - as such, it will have a $1mill entry cost, plus a business case proposal which will fail to demonstrate ROI due to risk/opportunity analysis.
The miners will have contingent liabilities associated with supply relationship costs. These contingencies will not be discussed outside of the boardroom.
It is part of how corporate culture forms-up.
I have seen this process in a few industries - not just mining. I call it "the destruction of value for profit".
It is difficult to grapple with this sytemic problem, but, as far as my analysis went, the primary parameters of destruction-of-value-for-profit are:
1. Reverse supply dynamic permited by the use of currency .. the market force of demand is inverted when the goods are replaced by the currency - and the supply becomes currency.
2. Money is time - time is not money.
3. Organisations are designed to fail - the corporate mission is subverted by the parts of teh corporation = a large company contains many empires that are at war with each other. The only rule in a corporation is "don't get caught". This induces some incredibly inovative game-play that causes more "churn" in fund-flows than you could ever imagine. Most corporations consume around 90% of investment funds in these games.
4. No corporation can allow the line-workers or line-managers to contribute to business process. Doing so has a few downsides - a) it can lead to single-point dependency, b) it can lead to stagnation, c) it erodes hierachial authority - and responsibility which might lead to wage scale-flattening. So some of these are valid, but obviously, some are downright invalid in the light of ROI for investors - if they knew what was being done. So the role of strategic BPR is delivered to consultancies - and the imense cost of consultancies is deliver one commodity: credibility. It is knowledge-laundering.
Mar 1 2013: The interference patterns you observe are the result of the size of the companies involved.
It is also affected by the amount of funds moving through the company.
The empire phenomenon is incredibly powerful - it increses the vested-interest factor by orders of magnitude.
The ultimate result manifests as reduced adaptivity.
This stagnation will persist until the emperors extract themselves from teh host - it is only after a safe distance has been established for the "players" that the company will be allowed to collapse - and, in fact, the collapse of the company on late movers is a part of the game which delights the emperors greatly.
AS you have shown - the devil is in the detail. No one gets enough time to actually discern the detail from outside the company. There is no conspiracy - it is just the dynamics of teh system.
Mar 1 2013: Don't worry about implementation I have got that covered.
A consultancy wont even get close to it it will be taken up by a global leader that wants to do good, or something like that.
Popular movement will drive the rest.
Do you think that all the manufacturers will allow the miners to take more of a cut than they should?
Manufacturers will force the change beause manufacturers have a US$trillion they "need' to invest.
It is a slam dunk.
Simplicity in global arguements wins everytime. The market is going to force it!
Mar 1 2013: You have demonstrated quite well how the BPR of mining operation can have very large global impact on global GDP. I could demonstrate similar items in retail, logistics, insurance, banking and telecommunications. As a BPR analyst in all these sectors, I have identified at least one interference point in each - some as large as the one you identify, some less - but all of which could be described as "evil" in the minds of most people.
Can I ask you this:
If you were to get the opportunity of leading a change - what would be the evidence of your success?
Mar 1 2013: HI Brendan,
Go for it!
I'll stay in touch, but not through social media - there are undercurrents in them that I wish to avoid.
I'll send my details through the TED contact.
Many thanks for the opportunity to engage in this discourse - it's given me a few new angles on the models I want to get done.
I get the gist of where you are headed, hope my input has had a value towards that.

First it was "illegal immigrants" then "undocumented immigrants" and the final try is just "immigrants'. The people we are talking about are foreign nationals, who entered Our Country illegally and are criminals, every one of them. So the question of not prosecuting those who hire foreign nationals who are here illegally is economic benefit to the employer and thus justifiable. If someone can make a few more bucks in illegal activities it's OK. That's what the dope dealers say. As far as I can tell that is not a good excuse. Illegals cost the taxpayers money. Is it fair for one individual or company to make a higher profit on the backs of the taxpayer? What about those legals, whose services cost a little more than the illegals, who do not get hired? Is that OK? This whole problem must be addressed in a logical, not bleeding heart manner, including a logical worker program and inforcing immigration laws, including fines for those who hire illegals.

I don't think the squads have been updated properly - Rogers and Bird aren't available while Johnson and Doherty are.
Every 5 years we have an election and have to decide who are the least obnoxious out of all the men. Then one gets in and they age really quickly. Which is always fun to watch.
Is there interest in a no changes allowed league?

Anyone want to join the Society?
Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
Yeah I was about to propose one when I had a look earlier.
I am an expert Fantasy Football Manager. Never played Fantasy Cricket before ! Can anyone inform me when all the procedures are completed. Thanks.

No sign of Tom's team.
James however has an illegal team as it's not public - should I ban him?
James, is there any possibility that you could enable the option of two teams per person to allow us to compete in these no change comps as well as the regular format? I don't know how much work would be involved in making the change and if its anything more than not much, don't bother its I would just like to go for the overall as well as compete in this. Cheers.

Cupcake Club Raises Money For Harbour View Elementary
I love when I hear amazing news about cupcakes and raising awareness and support for communities around the US! These wonderful cupcake kids and their big hearts were brought to my attention a few weeks ago and I am so excited to share their story with you. Check out their journey and tell someone you know! We can all bake a difference one sweet at a time! Also, check back for how to reach out to them, how to learn more and how to start a Cupcake Club at your school! For now, have a question...click on our CONTACT US page and let me know!
Calling themselves The Cupcake Club, three 3rd grade girls raised $530 selling cupcakes at the Harbour View Elementary School Picnic held June 4, 2014. Inspired by Sheryl and Carrie Berks' series of cupcake books (the first one titled The Cupcake Club), Katie, Holly, and Abbie created a club of their own. The early stages of planning took place during recess on the school playground in Huntington Beach, California. Then, unbeknownst to her mom, Katie distributed flyers with scheduled meeting dates to be held at her house. When Annette called Stacy to chat about Katie's flyer, the moms shared a good laugh. Impressed with the girls' desire to donate all proceeds to the school, the parents gave the green light on The Cupcake Club.
The girls held bi-weekly meetings. Cupcake taste tests were conducted. (The school requires food to be commercially prepared, so home baking was out.) Product evaluation was weighed based on taste and price. Theme colors of pink and black were carefully selected. A logo was created. The talk was of advertising and marketing: Holly created a flyer that was emailed to over 700 families. The girls were serious and highly organized. Ultimately, they decided on cupcakes from Bubba Sweets in Huntington Beach. Not only did the girls prefer the taste of Bubba Sweets' cupcakes to several other cupcake stores in Southern California, they were delighted knowing their large order would support a small neighborhood store. (It was also nice to learn two of the store's employees were Harbour View alumni.) The Cupcake Club was a huge success with support from friends and family; even brothers and sisters offered help: Isabelle (kindergarten) delivered cupcakes to customers on picnic blankets, and Roman (5th grade) worked as the cashier when it was busy. Their inventory sold out within the first hour; the girls raised $530. Katie, Holly, and Abbie proudly donated the money to Harbour View Elementary as a gift from The Cupcake Club.

Note: For WMU hockey score updates, text BRONCOS to 80373
KALAMAZOO (WKZO) – The road to a repeat of the CCHA Title ended tonight for Western Michigan hockey, falling 5-1 to the red-hot Michigan Wolverines Saturday marking the first time they were swept at home this season.
Much like Friday night's game, Michigan got on the board first when Kevin Lynch scored on a feed from Lee Moffie and Jon Merrill 1:08 into the game. The Broncos answered late in the frame when Garrett Haar stuffed a feed from Nolan LaPorte and Josh Pitt past Steve Racine to even the score at 16:36 in the first. Michigan outshot the Broncos in the opening period by a 15-3 margin.
The Wolverines exploded in the middle frame for four goals from Andrew Sinelli, Derek DeBlois and a pair of tallies from Alex Guptill. Guptill's first score was the lone power play goal in the game. Michigan finished 1-for-3 on the man advantage while Western Michigan finished 0-for-5 on the power play in the game, 0-for-9 on the weekend. Michigan finished with the edge in shots-on-goal 29-23.
Frank Slubowski recorded 20 saves in 30:58 of play. Lukas Hafner replaced Slubowski in the second frame recording four saves before the Broncos went empty net for the final 4:35 of the game.
Western Michigan (19-11-8) will now have to wait and see where they land for the NCAA tournament.

Amati ABG 201II Series Bb BugleThe ABG201 bugle is suited for reenactments or military engagements. Case not included.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I am a music teacher with minimal training on brass instruments (clarinet by trade). That being said, I've been self-teaching myself the bugle for about a year now, and I have found the experience to be extremely enjoyable. I've been tying my bugle and trumpet practice together, and have found that the bugle does not respond as easily as a trumpet. The bugle, because of its larger conical bore seems to need more air to function. As long as you move the air, this bugle will produce an absolute beautiful tone. The Amati 201 sounds more like a flugelhorn than a trumpet, and does not give you that crisp bugle sound you regularly hear from modern military or scouting bugles. Instead, it gives you a sweet and deep sound. The mouthpiece that comes with the bugle is good quality as well, and I much prefer it over my Bach 7C. The Bach mouthpiece changes the Amati's dark tone to a brighter tone.
This model, the ABG 201 II, has nothing in common with the previous ABG 201. The previous model was a period-correct French-style Clairon bugle in B-flat, as was frequently used by Federal and Confederate troops. It was an excellent choice for reenacting. THIS newer model, the ABG 201 II, is NOT period correct by any measure. Nothing like it was ever carried by field musicians during the Civil War. If you show up at your event with one of these, you'll be the farby-est bugler on the field.
It is also highly questionable, on the verge of being deceptive, for the other reviews, which reviewed the ORIGINAL ABG 201, to have been kept for this ABG 201 II when they do not apply at all to this instrument.
I picked it up on Friday and played it over the weekend at a Civil War Reenactment.
I am a low brass player but found this horn to be very easy to play. The tone quality is very good even for someone not used to playing with the small mouth pieces. I loved it, unit loved it, crowd loved it! The horn is a very high quality and finish is beautiful. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an appropriate reproduction bugle.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico has seniority on most of the companies nominated for Top Workplace recognition: It was offering health insurance to New Mexicans the year before the U.S. formally entered World War II.
And it has clearly learned a few things over the years about caring for its family of employees, now numbering 743 and collectively representing more than 6,800 years of health-care experience.
Blue Cross placed first in the top workplace rankings for large companies, receiving an outpouring of employee comments like this: "I am treated with respect, I feel part of a true team working for the benefit of my company and for the best outcomes possible for our members."
Or: "I get paid to work with a program I love, which allows me to feel I am making a meaningful contribution to not only my company, but to the New Mexico population as a whole."
An independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, Blue Cross serves more than 400,000 customers, offering HMO, PPO and individual health plans. It had 110 hires the past year and anticipates adding 200 people over the next 12 months, being one of four companies the state selected to provide Medicaid-managed care under the Centennial Care program.
The benefits package afforded full-time employees and those who work at least 20 hours a week includes 401(k) and pension plans; health, dental and vision coverage; education assistance; short- and long-term disability; employee assistance; and access to a credit union. It also offers an on-site fitness center, Weight Watchers program and a discount gym membership program.
Last year, Blue Cross began an employee program, Proud to Be Blue, that actively encourages teamwork and open lines of communication between employees and management. "What it really does is empower our employees to take care of our members in the way they should, which sometime means looking for ways to take care of them even when there's probably an opportunity to say no to something," Blue Cross President Kurt Shipley said.
Employees regularly participate in community events such as the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, the Heart Walk and Operation Back to School.
Shipley, who took the company's top position just more than a year ago, said the survey results are valuable to him personally.
"It gives me a good feeling that some of the things we're doing and really trying to make sure our employees are proud to be here every day is paying off," he said.

Finding common groundJuly 06,2014A special legislative committee is launching its own analysis of health care reform so the Legislature is in a position to take an independent look at reform proposals coming from Gov. Peter Shumlin next year.
Crucial questions remain about the single-payer health care system that the Shumlin administration is putting together, such as how much it will cost and how it will be paid for. Other questions involve mechanisms for controlling the rising cost of health care, which will be important in making the new system affordable.
The plan is for a new system to be in place by 2017, providing the state is able to gain waivers from the federal government allowing it to proceed. That means that the administration must introduce legislation in 2015, launching one of the most ambitious undertakings the Legislature has carried out in many years.
Already, Shumlin has irritated Republicans who note that he long ago missed the legal deadline by which he was required to reveal his funding plan for the new system. Shumlin has been on the cavalier side in ignoring the deadline, saying it would be premature of him to reveal a plan that is still not drawn up.
It was also politically advantageous for Shumlin not to reveal his plans because he did not have to defend them in the previous election and will not have to in the election later this year. But that advantage is seeping away. In the absence of information from the administration, critics have had time to promote alternative ways of thinking about the coming challenge.
We are hearing more from members of the Legislature about a Plan B or a Plan A, or any number of plans, that the Legislature could have recourse to if the numbers coming from Shumlin dont add up this winter. One of the dangers for Shumlin is that the state has already taken significant steps to extend health care by adopting the new exchange, Vermont Health Connect, under the aegis of the federal Affordable Care Act. Critics can argue that the health care system, while not perfect, has made progress and so it is not worthwhile overturning the applecart by adopting a single-payer system.
Proponents of single-payer counter that Vermont Health Connect was meant only as a bridge to a new universal and inclusive system that does not rely on private health insurance. Under the new system, Vermonters would no longer have to buy insurance at all; they would get health care coverage the way that senior citizens do under Medicare through a government system.
Critics say that this new system will require a massive tax hike, which is true, but those new taxes would be offset by the elimination of health care premiums, which take a sizable chunk out of peoples paychecks and out of the bottom lines of businesses. Further, the single-payer system would create significant cost-saving efficiencies by eliminating the paper chase of private insurance.
And yet the numbers showing that this will work as planned are still not forthcoming. Now the Legislature as a co-equal branch of government has launched its own study that it can use as it takes up the governors proposal in January. It is a necessary and important exercise for the Legislature to undertake.
Meanwhile, Shumlin is courting trouble if he is following the Clinton example. Recall that in the early 90s President Bill Clinton, with the first lady in charge, developed a health care plan behind closed doors, dumping it on Congress as a fait accompli. Congress ended up defeating what was dismissed at the time as Hillarycare.
Shumlins plan is taking shape behind closed doors, and while there is no reason to believe anything problematic is happening, there has been little opportunity for buy-in by legislators or the public. Even the chairman of the Green Mountain Care Board, Al Gobeille, has voiced the view that cost containment remains the key to future health care reform, suggesting that if Shumlins proposal does not guarantee cost containment adequately, it could slow progress for the single-payer plan.
Shumlin is poised to advance a historic legislative proposal, and with strong Democratic majorities in the Legislature passage would seem all but guaranteed. But Democrats in the Legislature are aware that it is incumbent upon them to ensure that they and the governor dont get carried away by their enthusiasm and that the plan they settle on will be successful.
Until now the Legislatures record in standing up to Shumlin has been mixed. On health care reform it needs to make sure that the common ground it is able to find with the governor is solid.MORE IN PerspectiveDoes it inspire confidence when state officials discover problems and take action to fix them?

With a twirly full skirt and a plunging bodice, the Spin and Dip Off-the-Shoulder Red Dress will have all eyes on you! Stretchy knit dress starts with off-the-shoulder short sleeves and a plunging sweetheart neckline that dips ultra-low, but stays in place thanks to hidden boning and a V-bar for shape. A full skirt flutters playfully below. Hidden back zipper. Front of bodice is lined. Model is wearing a size small. 86% Polyester, 12% Rayon, 2% Spandex. Hand Wash Cold. Made with Love in the U.S.A.
How it fit:
"I was skeptical about this dress due to my bust size, I was concerned with it being too sexy. To my surprise, it was a classy fit! Compliments all night. I wasn't adjusting myself either, it stayed put all night thanks to the wiring in the bustier. I'm 5'4, 118lbs, and 32DD and the small was the perfect fit for me."
How it fit:
"Wow, talk about a daring cut. I thought I might have issues with the top (32AA, ordered the smallest available) but the wiring does a great job of keeping it in place. However, the wiring on my dress seemed slightly off- going to see if I can adjust it a little but this dress is still great!! The color is very vibrant- you definitely won't get lost in the crowd. The length helps to balance the top. Overall, a very sexy dress."
How it fit:
"I am actually in love with this dress. At first I was scared to purchase because of the potential cleavage issue (I'm petite, but have 36D's, which generally makes for some fit woes with online shopping), but I'm so glad I took the risk! This dress is adorable, fun, and fits like an extremely forgiving glove. The material is comfortable and bright, and the dress's wiring prevents any wardrobe malfunctions. My one tiny issue is that the dress' "cups" are slightly smaller than I had anticipated, which makes it a little too scandalous for everyday wear... that might just be my own personal chest issue though lol, so dont be dissuaded! Anyway, this is a super cute piece and a fantastic first purchase - thanks Lulu's!"

Steinbeck, John
Adult Nonfiction PS3537.T3234 A64 2007
Summary: A modern retelling of the legendary Arthurian tales from one of the twentieth century?s greatest writers Morte d?Arthur was one of the first books that John Steinbeck enjoyed reading as a child, and it became a favorite story to read to his own children. Here now is Steinbeck?s only work of fantasy literature?his modernization of Malory?s adventures of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, who together took the oath of knightship, swearing never to use violence without good purpose, to be merciful, to protect women, and never to fight for an unjust cause or personal gain. Here are the iconic and legendary tales of King Arthur, Guinevere, Sir Lancelot, Merlin, and Morgan le Fay. Christopher Paolini, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling novels Eragon and Eldest , has written a new foreword offering a fresh and young perspective on this classic. This is a book sure to capture the attention and imagination of a wide audience, including the legions of Steinbeck fans, those who love the legendary adventures of King Arthur and his Knights, as well as the countless fans of science fiction and fantasy literature, and everyone who loves Paolini?s bestselling novels.

[video] Quick Take: November Jobs Report Pops, Country Adds 203,000
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The nonfarm payrolls for November came in better than expected at 203,000, topping economists' expectations of 185,000. TheStreet's Joe Deaux takes a look at the report with Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ.
Stovall suggested that investor sentiment was beginning to dim leading up to the report, with the S&P 500 declining for five straight sessions before Friday.
He added that the report was good, but not great. Revisions for the October nonfarm payrolls report were also lowered.
We are transforming to a self-growing economy from a stimulus-driven economy, Stovall said.The Federal Reserve will likely reduce its bond-purchasing program, he said, now that the economy appears to be able to stand on its own. While improving, the economy is still susceptible to stumbling and is considered vulnerable. Stovall said that the improvements have been gradual, which is good because the Fed won't begin to tighten its monetary policy immediately and can instead ease through tapering. He concluded that investors should remain bullish going into 2014 and continue following the trend. However, Stovall did caution that investors should be prepared for volatility. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

The first 25 seconds of Cary Whittingham's head coaching career could not have gone any better.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The last three minutes of his first game almost went perfectly, as well.
But the visiting Alta Hawks held on for a 33-31 victory Friday when Timpview missed a winning field-goal attempt with 10 seconds remaining.
So a night that began with an interception leading to a touchdown run for the Thunderbirds ended in disappointment in the debut of the younger brother of University of Utah coach Kyle Whittingham.
Just the same, Cary Whittingham deserves credit for a bold strategy that gave the Thunderbirds their last shot at a dramatic win.
After quarterback Jake Lloyd's 25-yard touchdown pass to Braydon Galland cut Alta's lead to two points with 2:59 remaining, Whittingham chose to kick off deep, rather than try an onside kick. That was risky, because Timpview was out of timeouts. But his decision worked as the Hawks went three-plays-and-out, then punted to the Timpview 40-yard line with 1:17 left.
Lloyd steadily moved the Thunderbirds into field-goal position, but Tyler Solarzano's 35-yard attempt sailed wide and Alta escaped.
Actually, the Hawks won because Chipper Lucero threw three touchdown passes in bouncing back from that early interception, and Alta's defense dominated the third quarter.
Including a safety, the Hawks outscored Timpview 16-0 in the quarter to take a 33-24 lead. Alta seemingly was in command, only to make mistakes that gave the Thunderbirds a chance.
Whittingham, 49, was promoted in late May after Louis Wong resigned as head coach following an audit of the school's financial statements. Wong, Whittingham's former BYU teammate, posted a 77-10 record in seven seasons, including a 36-game winning streak and four consecutive Class 4A state championships (2006-09).
"There's some pressure here, obviously," Whittingham said. "A lot of expectations … looming over your head."
There's also the issue of living up to the standards of a brother who has a 66-25 record at Utah through seven seasons.
Cary Whittingham is accustomed to stress, having spent more than a decade in police work in Sandy and Provo before becoming a full-time coach five years ago. After working as a school resource officer, he was scheduled to take a patrol assignment. That's when a teaching and coaching position opened at Timpview, and he took it.
Kyle Whittingham, who beat Arizona in his first game as Utah's coach in 2005, said Cary's steady demeanor will serve him well in this job. "Players have got to know what to expect," he said. "I think they get that from him."
In the first half, Cary Whittingham's biggest decision involved playing aggressively in the final minute, and he was rewarded. Connor Mendivil's 61-yard reception led to a field goal, giving Timpview a 24-17 halftime edge.
But the Thunderbirds soon lost their lead and could not complete their fourth-quarter rally. By the end of the 2013 season, the Whittingham brothers should be approaching 100 combined coaching victories. At the moment, they're still stuck on 66.

Retailer is having a one-day sale Thursday, with its stores offering 15 percent off. Company showing appreciation for customers' support following data breach two years ago.
A Miami man could face a sentence of up to 22 years behind bars and a fine of up to $1 million for his crimes related to the massive data breach.
Eleven people have been charged with hacking eight major U.S. retailers, including TJX, but only three are currently in custody.
A story on 60 Minutes focuses on TJX's poor Wi-Fi security and keeping sensitive customer information for much too long.
Pending court approval, suits brought by victims of what is believed to be the largest data breach ever could be resolved soon.
Investigators announce the first arrest associated with the massive identity theft.
Florida man accused of stealing credit card data from TJX is among those named in breach involving Heartland, 7-Eleven, Hannaford Brothers, and others.
Maine-based Hannaford reports a data intrusion that, while significant, is nothing like the TJX breach that compromised 45.7 million accounts.
Defendant reportedly pleads guilty in Boston federal court in a wireless data breach that exposed at least 45.7 million accounts to criminals.

The UAE at a Glance
Living in the UAE
As you settle down in the UAE, you get to enjoy amenities which some expats may not have in their home countries. The mobile phone system is excellent, and many of the modern buildings are equipped with air conditioning. All these things make for a comfortable life in the UAE. The UAE has a subtropical-arid climate, with balmy 30°C in winter and up to a sweltering 50°C in summer.
Newspapers, radio stations and TV broadcasts are available in Arabic, English, Urdu and several other languages to cater to the needs of expats living in the UAE. There are four monthly and weekly English-language newspapers concerning expat life in the UAE: the Khaleej Times, Gulf News, Gulf Today, and Emirates Today.
Despite its progressive flair, modern infrastructure and strong economy, religious traditions are an essential aspect of life in the UAE. For expats, life in the UAE means that they may have to adhere to a different etiquette, dress more modestly and deal with some limitations in their daily lives.
It is advisable for expats to be sensitive and respectful towards religious traditions. Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting and one of the five pillars of Islam, is taken very seriously in the Emirates. Non-Muslims living in the UAE may be surprised when they experience reduced office hours, closed restaurants, and other disruptions of their daily routine during Ramadan.
Local Traditions
The rich traditions of the Emirates are a big part of life in the UAE. The country remains proud of its history of fishing, boating and trading, which used to dominate life in the UAE for centuries.
The souqs, traditional markets which were once the centre of life in the UAE, are an essential place to visit. Many of them have been preserved in their original state, giving a picturesque impression of what life in the UAE used to be like. Dates, camels, Arabian horses and falconry are still important aspects of life in the UAE today.
Buying Property
Foreigners who are interested in buying property in the UAE will have to deal with a great deal of nontransparent legislation. In general, you can expect the rules for buying property to be wildly different, depending on the emirate you are living in.
In many cases, expats living in the UAE can only "lend" property from the ruler of their emirate. People living in the UAE's northern emirates of Dubai and Sharjah benefit from exceptions to this rule. The real estate markets in these emirates started to open up to expats living in the UAE in 2002, allowing them to buy property within selected housing projects. Soon, other emirates such as Ajman followed.
In mid-2011, the government of the UAE introduced a change in real estate legislation for expats living in the UAE. Now, investments in real estate exceeding Dh1.000.000 automatically grant the investor a three-year temporary residence permit.
One-bedroom apartments can be purchased from 75000 US$. Houses cost 177000 US$ or more. Foreigners who buy property often receive a resident permit for living in the UAE after their property is fully paid off.
Renting Accommodation
Although the availability of rental property has increased, living in the UAE comes at a price. Rents are high, and it is common to pay one year's rent in advance. The price of living in the UAE depends on the location and size of the accommodation. Dubai has the highest rates in the country, with mostly unfurnished housing, making life in the UAE a costly endeavor.
Apartments and houses usually offer a high standard of living in comparison to many Western and European countries. Due to the high temperatures and humidity in the summer months, air conditioning is a must. Moreover, houses and villas often come with a maintenance service as well.
Running water and electricity supplies are widely available in the UAE. Due to the high power consumption during summer, occasional power outages can occur every now and then. However, these problems are usually solved very quickly. Water supplies are provided by desalination of ocean water to make sure drinking water is always available to Emiratis and expats alike.

Whiz Kid's Name and Age: Noah Farrell, 14
Whiz Kid's School: Wilton High School
Whiz Kid's Accomplishments: In addition to his overall success in the state tennis tournament, the up-and-coming Wilton tennis phenom also received recognition on the all-FCIAC team along with all-state recognition this past season.
"Those were pretty great," the star said.
Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness:
Farrell has used his quickness on the court as a key to success in terms of keeping his opponent fighting hard until the end.
"It makes my opponent hit one more shot," said Farrell.
His drive and belief that he can win matches along with knowing that his opportunity to repeat as champion is not guaranteed along with the need and desire to do well on the court have also added to his early success at the varsity level.
"I just have to believe every match that I can win," Farrell said.
Experience against Wilton Warriors upper-classmen has also been beneficial: "It's good to hit against older and better players," he said.
"He's (definitely risen) to a very high level at an early age," Wilton boys tennis coach Andrew Lee said of the mature player.
Farrell is one of 14 players on the Warriors boys tennis roster.
"I just have a lot of experience to be mentally [able] to complete sets and the need to know that we [as a team] can win the match," the young and talented tennis player said . Farrel said he has been playing the sport since the age of five-and-a-half.
The no. 1 seed easily put away opponents starting in the round of 64 over Bunnell's Michael Dolph.
The Warrior's win over East Lyme's Joseph McCaffery's 6-3,6-3 advanced Farrell into the quarterfinals in a retired match where No. 9 seeded Alexander Rieger of Hand lost the first nine games for a standstill 6-0, 3-0 overall final.
After successful advancement over Hand's No. 4 seed Sam Cadwell, 6-2, 6-2, in semi-final play, Farrell made history as another freshman tennis player from the state of Connecticut earned championship status this time against Hand's Scott Rubenstein – the No. 3 seed, 6-3,7-6, (7-4).
"It's a dream come true," the exceptional athlete said.
"It's a good experience," he said. "I kind of didn't expect it to happen."
Players from the top eight FCIAC teams qualify for a state tournament pool of 64 players who then either advance or are eliminated based on the results of each match.
Farrell improves his game in the offseason at Four Seasons with Ritush Venugopal while also hitting with his father Josh on the weekends at home, and competing in United States Tennis Association tournaments for constant improvement.
Lee says Farrell's goal should be to become the No. 1 boys tennis player in the FCIAC aside from being a premier athlete throughout Wilton in the years to come.
Staples' Danny Hirschberg - currently the top-ranked player in the state - is graduating, but Greenwich junior Tyler Kratky is returning. Kratky and Farrell could be one-two in the FCIAC next season.

INSTITUTE – A bioenergy research program at West Virginia State University is one
step closer to fruition with a $100,000 grant from the West Virginia Research
Trust Fund, or Bucks for Brains. The award follows a $300,000 donation from
American Electric Power, announced last month.
The Full STEAM Ahead program will support research in the science, technology, engineering, agriculture and mathematics (STEAM) fields, provide
internships for undergraduate students, and expose youth in grades K-12 to
energy-related education, according to a news release from West Virginia State.
"This initiative will build
expertise in the area of bioenergy by integrating research, outreach and
teaching activities," said Orlando F. McMeans, vice president for research
and public service, noting that bioenergy research has been identified as a
core component of WVSU's research strategy. "To ensure success, a new research
scholar with proven experience in the field will be hired to lead the project."
The incoming faculty research
and teaching scholar will mentor graduate and
undergraduate students and teach a bioenergy-related curriculum. One graduate
student will be selected to participate in a bioenergy fellowship program.
Administrators hope to bridge undergraduate research to the graduate
"We want to identify promising
undergraduate students for the bioenergy research program and offer options for
continuing graduate education in biotechnology," said McMeans. WVSU has offered
a master's degree in biotechnology since 2004.
The program will also
establish 10 internships for freshmen and sophomore students, as well as
utilize an energy-related curriculum to reach K-12 youth. WVSU's Center for the
Advancement of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (CASTEM) is
partnering with WVSU Extension Service's 4-H program to provide outreach
instruction in after-school and classroom settings throughout the region.
"We will be introducing
agriculturally focused content," added McMeans about the outreach component.
"We want to educate students at a young age about the connectivity of
agriculture and energy."
The West Virginia Research
Trust Fund, also known as Bucks for Brains, is an endowment that supports
expansions to research faculty and infrastructure in areas such as energy,
biotechnology, engineering and environmental science.

The nonprofit solar and energy loan fund received its first investment from Mercy Investment Services, a faith-based, socially responsible investment organization for the Sisters of Mercy and its sponsored ministries.
The investment will supplement SELF's existing loan pool and allow the organization to expand its services.
SELF provides energy expertise and low-interest rate loans to help property owners identify and make cost-effective energy retrofits. SELF targets low and moderate income communities and businesses, and is helping property owners reduce their energy consumption by an average of 24 percent, while using clean energy solutions, employing local companies and taking a small but important step toward energy independence.
The financial investment was finalized through the Mercy Partnership Fund, the community investing program of Mercy Investment Services.
"Mercy Partnership Fund invests in projects consistent with the concerns of the Sisters of Mercy," said Sister Corinne Florek, director of the Mercy Partnership Fund.
"SELF's commitment to energy conservation and care of the Earth closely aligns with the mission of Mercy Investment Services."
"This is a major milestone and key to expanding the clean energy loan program," said Doug Coward, executive director of SELF.
SELF plans to open new satellite offices throughout the Treasure Coast region on Feb. 1, beginning with Stuart, Fellsmere, Sebastian and Indiantown, as well as Okeechobee.
The nonprofit continues to seek investment opportunities and will welcome any monetary donations in support of the program's growth toward creating energy independence in local communities.
SELF, which administers the clean energy loan program, is designated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization as per the Internal Revenue Service. Those interested in donating may receive tax benefits.

While taking Elementary Chinese, I had the opportunity to practice traditional Chinese calligraphy. This was my absolute favorite part of class because it shows that there is not only a difference in the way words are written (characters versus letters), but also a difference in the method of how the language is written. Calligraphy is a traditional part of Chinese history and culture, and being able to practice it myself made me respect that aspect of the Chinese culture even more. It is no easy feat to write using a calligraphy brush!
