Company Profile
Aetna Inc. is a diversified healthcare benefits company as well as one of the largest managed care companies in the U.S. It offers traditional and consumer-directed health insurance products and related services, including medical, pharmacy, dental, behavioral health, group life, and disability plans, and medical and healthcare management services. Among its historical highlights: It insured the Manhattan Project and also the lives of the first seven American astronauts in 1963.

Mr. Williams is also a supporter of using technology to boost business efficiency. One new effort is a partnership with Microsoft's HealthVault to let enrollees create an online personal health record. And Aetna came out on top of a 2008 list of big health insurers by athenahealth Inc. that ranked how quickly and accurately they paid doctor bills.

It ain't brass, but we really like these:
This outfit may be able to help with brass stuff:
I stayed at a hotel that had a shower head that I really liked and when we built our house, I bought a similar head for each of our showers at Home Depot for only $29.95. It was called a Universal Shower Head because it could be made higher or lower as well as swivel all directions. But the HD shower heads had wingnuts that you had to tighten after each adjustment. Two of these heads are in guest rooms and our guests frequently adjust the heads when they visit, resulting in leaks from the joints that spray all over the ceiling.
Rather than give each guest a ten minute training session on the proper way to adjust the shower, I thought I'd break down and buy a higher quality version of this head like the one at the hotel, i.e., one without wingnuts that could be adjusted without creating leaks. But I've surfed the web looking for them without success. The only one I've found was at Restoration Hardware and it only comes in chrome; I need polished brass and RH can't tell me where to find a different finish.
Can anyone offer any guidance on where to find this head. Here's a link to RH's ad so you know what I'm talking about.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I appreciate the suggestions for other shower heads but I don't think you can change my mind about my Universal Shower Head being a terrific design. First, the articulating arm allows you to raise and lower the head through a range of 18" (vertical). And the head itself can be adjusted up or down and side-to-side. Lastly, the spray, although not adjustable to a bunch of different settings like some, is a very soothing rain-shower effect, with some individual streams tending to shift direction. It feels great and the adjustability is a great feature in a guest room where we have everything from grandkids to adults. If only the damn thing wouldn't leak!
The one at the hotel (The W, in Westwood Village (LA), CA) didn't leak when you adjusted it but, of course, it didn't have wingnuts on the hinges. I guess I need to give management at The W a call and see if they have any leads. I'll check back in and let you know what I find out.

If the hotel has a real concierge, he/she would be the one to start with. Otherwise, ask for the head of engineering. If all else fails, check in for a visit and take a pipe wrench with you .
The Grohe you mentioned has some of the adjustability that I was looking for, although it doesn't appear to have 18" worth. And at almost $300, it's a big step up from the $29.95 that my current heads cost. But if it doesn't leak, it might still be worth it.
Mikey, I'll try the concierge at The W...good thought. And the pipe wrench and overnight stay is a good back-up plan .
Well, the arm is about 20" long, and it can go from straight up to straight down, that's about 40", a lot more than 18"....discounts are available if you search...not that many people pay retail.

Well, thanks again to Mickey who suggested that I call the concierge at The W Hotel. She identified the supplier as Gemini and then a quick Google and I found the shower head. But to my surprise, it too had wingnuts for tightening the joints after adjustment (here's a link: http://www.geminibkp.com/uni.htm). It's $128, almost $100 more than the cheapo HD ones that leak so I decided to buy one on faith hoping that it proves "You get what you pay for" rather than "There's a sucker born every minute" .
And regarding Jim's comment on the adjustability of the Grohe, while it probably does have as much or more adjustability than I need, a 20" arm only gives you 40" of vertical adjustment if the head is mounted on the end of the arm...which it wasn't. But the point is well taken. I may try the Grohe if this one doesn't meet my expectations.
Thanks to all who shared their comments.
First, you have to get over the notion that a quality shower product will be $19.85 like a plastic shower head at HD. I have never seen one of those articulated arms work very well. The joints are not designed well. Perhaps if you pay over $100 for it, might be OK.
Instead, I would consider this type of product:
That's what I put in. You get more flexibility.
The Grohe Freehander's arm is over 20", and the outer head (you can turn the inner one off), would give you nearly 40" of adjustment. But, you would probably only use the top or bottom third of the rotation, or it would be interfering with the loop at the end. By far, an adjustable holder on an arm for a handheld gives more flexibility. It is particularly handy when cleaning the tub...the hose allows you to get the spray in places you just can't go with a fixed head, even with the type you are talking about.

The spray on the universal shower head is what I fell in love with. It's got 127 holes and apparently something inside the head tickles the output so that some of the sprays seem to randomly shift around. It feels great, better than any shower head I've experienced (and I used to stay at dozens of high-end hotels every year when I was working).
There's a great shower head display at a store in LA and I might check it out the next time I'm down there. They have dozens of heads mounted on a wall behind a glass window and you can push a button to turn on each head, allowing you to evaluate its spray pattern. The store is The Great Indoors, owned by Sears and intended to compete with HD's Expo stores but apparently they haven't built too many of them. There are none here in No. California that I know of.
I do like the idea of the handheld for cleaning out the shower and/or tub. If I can marry that idea with the universal head's spray pattern, I think I'll have a winner!
You can use riser shower arms but they are not adjutable

Is a quarter of a billion dollars enough money for you to go out and buy lottery tickets? Powerball's estimated prize in tonight's drawing is $250 million. The cash prize option is "only" $166.8 million.
But with the odds of getting a ticket with the winning numbers worse than 1 in 175 million, will you play the game? It costs $2 per ticket. The "Powerball multiplier" adds $1 to the ticket price, but could increase the size of any non-grand prize amount.
Friday's MegaMillions jackpot is "only" $41 million.
A portion of the ticket sales are used for education funding in Georgia, including the HOPE Scholarship. The Georgia Lottery for Education Act requires that proceeds be used to fund:
- Tuition grants, scholarships or loans to undergraduate college students and teachers who seek advanced degrees in critical areas of need.
- Voluntary Prekindergarten Programs
- Technology grants to train teachers in the use and application of advanced technology and capital outlay projects for educational facilities. This program received appropriations through fiscal year 2003.
With Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up, will more people take a chance today for a big payoff? Or are they already waiting in line for Black Friday sales?
Are you going to buy a Powerball ticket for tonight's drawing? Tell us in the comments below.

SACRAMENTO—Let's welcome the governor back home. It must be sobering. The work has been piling up. The real, difficult work.
Actually, it was piling up even before Gov. Jerry Brown departed on a weeklong "trade and investment" mission to China with 90 lobbyists, business execs and pals — who kicked in enough extra money to pay for him and his aides.
As I previously wrote, if this was really worth the governor's time and energy — if the state actually did benefit, and it probably did — then the state should have paid for it, not a horde of favor-seeking special interests.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
But that's history. Every governor deserves a nice, attention-getting junket. It was no doubt exhilarating, if exhausting.
Now he faces a lot of drudgery that won't be nearly as much fun. For example:
•Revising his proposed $146-billion budget for the fiscal year starting July 1. An update is due in mid-May.
Key question: What to do with the extra money that's pouring into the treasury? As of Tuesday, the state was running $5 billion ahead of projections. No one knows for sure whether that gusher will keep flowing, or even if it is a mirage.
But assuming that the state is reaping a windfall, how do the governor and Legislature spend it? Hopefully not on permanent programs, because it could be merely one-time money. Better to stash it in a rainy-day reserve or use it to chip away at what Brown has ridiculed as the state's "wall of debt," which is more awesome even than the Great Wall of China.
But to do either, Brown might need to tame some rambunctious fellow Democrats, who are sure to insist on dumping the money into permanent programs.
•Streamlining California's oft-abused, 43-year-old California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA.
Touring China, Brown marveled at all the construction and vowed, "When I get back, we'll emulate some of that." But California developers frequently are beaten down by CEQA, which sometimes is used by litigating labor, business competitors and NIMBYs ("Not in my back yard") for their own non-environmental agendas.
It's a big reason why California has earned a reputation for being business unfriendly.
But even before departing China, Brown disclosed he wasn't going to push CEQA reform this year. There's too much opposition within the Democratic Party and its labor and environmental patrons, the governor contended. "It would be difficult for the Legislature," he said. "The appetite for CEQA reform is much stronger outside the state Capitol than it is inside."
"I'm not sure why the governor would say that," responded Senate leader Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), who is pushing reform legislation.
Possible answer: Brown is up for reelection next year and wants to keep the left side of his political base happy.
•Redistributing school money. Brown wants to provide more dollars to mostly inner-city schools — those with high percentages of English learners and students from low-income families — at the expense of many suburban districts.
It's a sort of Robin Hood scheme. There'd be no new money, just a reshuffling of anticipated dollars. The proposal has gained increasing skepticism in the Legislature as lawmakers learn about winners and losers.
Bob Blattner, a veteran nonpartisan education consultant, calculates that losers would outnumber winners by 2 to 1 among districts — mainly smaller ones — and charter schools.
Brown should either dig up some new school money — and he's not about to propose another tax increase — or substantially amend his proposal.
•Water. The Legislature is waiting for Brown to decide how to reduce a $11.1-billion, pork-laden water bond proposal that is needed to, among other things, finance ecological restoration of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

U.S. stock index futures held small gains Thursday following a batch of economic reports, but worries over the ongoing "fiscal cliff" negotiations kept investors cautious.
On the economic front, producer prices fell 0.8 percent in November, declining for the second month, according to the Labor Department, as the cost of energy dropped the most in over three years. Economists polled by Reuters had expected a decline of 0.5 percent.
Jobless claims fell for the fourth-straight week, dropping 29,000 to a seasonally adjusted 343,000, according to the Labor Department. Meanwhile, the four-week moving average for new claims fell 27,000 to 381,500.
Additionally, retail sales edged up 0.3 percent in November, according to the Commerce Department, but the gain was less than the increase of 0.5 percent economists had expected, according to a Reuters poll.
Meanwhile, top central banks around the world including the Federal Reserve, the ECB, the Bank of England agreed to extend their arrangements to extend their credit lines for another year. The Bank of Japan is to consider the measure at its next meeting.
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve met market expectations with another round of easing, this time with a pledge to keep interest rates low until unemployment falls below 6.5 percent and inflation tops 2.5 percent. But Chairman Ben Bernanke pointed out that even after the employment and inflation targets are triggered, that won't lead to an automatic raising of rates.
He also reiterated fear over the "fiscal cliff," saying that even the Fed's massive balance sheet expansion wouldn't be enough to stave off the effects, though the Fed may accelerate its asset purchases should cliff take effect. (Read more: El-Erian: Why Markets Shrugged Fed's Historic Move)
European shares were lower despite the announcement that finance ministers had reached agreement to grant the European Central Bank (ECB) greater regulatory powers over the euro zone's biggest banks.
Best Buy surged amid expectations founder Richard Schulze will make a formal takeover offer for the consumer-electronics retailer this week in the range of $5 billion to $6 billion, according to a report.

Advanced Placement—
Teacher Information
- Strategies and Resources for Developing or Expanding an Advanced Placement (AP) Program in Your District Webinar (November 9, 2010)
Advanced Placement Teacher Information
Advanced Placement Course Audit Update
The following information is being circulated by the College Board and AP Central to publicize the upcoming need for all AP teachers and schools to submit materials to substantiate their claim that a course should be recognized as worthy of the Advanced Placement designation. Failure to meet the requirements of this audit will nullify that claim. All questions regarding this procedure should be directed to the College Board and the email address designated at the end of this article or through the website at AP Central.
As scheduled, the AP Course Audit process will officially open later this January. AP teachers, principals, AP Coordinators, and district representatives will receive instructions on how to access the AP Course Audit website and submit materials during the fourth week in January. Instructions will also appear on AP Central.
The AP Course Audit provides schools with clear guidelines on the course content and resources typical of college-level classes, and helps colleges and universities better interpret courses marked "AP" on students' transcripts. Schools have until June 1, 2008 to submit materials as part of the AP Course Audit. Prior to the opening of the AP Course Audit website, the College Board encourages AP teachers to review the course audit information and resources available on AP Central at http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/courseaudit, which include:
- Annotated
Syllabi & Samples of Evidence
Multiple samples of evidence in each AP subject illustrate the variety of ways curricular requirements can be met in a syllabus. Annotated syllabi have been written by AP teachers who teach in the public or private sector and by college professors who teach the parallel college-level course. Collectively, these syllabi illustrate a variety of ways a course can meet the AP Course Audit curricular requirements.
Course Audit Website Demo
This online demo will help familiarize teachers and administrators with the website through which teachers will submit their syllabi.
As always, schools develop their own curriculum for courses labeled "AP." The AP Course Audit simply specifies core elements colleges and universities expect to see within the curriculum you develop for college-level AP courses. You will see when reviewing the AP Course Audit requirements that they do not in any way constitute a mandated curriculum, and provide schools with tremendous flexibility in development of curricula for courses labeled "AP." Courses that meet or exceed these expectations will be authorized to use the "AP" designation.
The AP Course Audit deliberately does not base its outcomes on student exam grades, because doing so would put pressure on teachers to avoid taking risks on students less certain to succeed in an AP course. Because the AP Course Audit requirements were established by professors from several hundred of the nation's top colleges and universities, it is our hope that even experienced AP teachers with high-performing students will benefit from the opportunity the AP Course Audit provides to reflect on their own curriculum and how they are meeting or, in many cases, exceeding the most recent set of expectations voiced by college and university faculty.
For more information on the AP Course Audit, please visit http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/courseaudit or email email@example.com.

An air permit is a legal document that lists what a source must do in order to comply with the state and federal air pollution laws. Air permits may contain emission limitations, work practice standards, record keeping requirements, equipment monitoring requirements, and reporting obligations. The facility's potential to emit (PTE) emissions determines if a facility is classified as major or minor or if the facility has to undergo a major modification.
DHEC's Bureau of Air Quality (BAQ) is responsible for managing South Carolina's air quality permitting program. The BAQ is the EPA delegated authority for stationary source permitting. In this role, BAQ issues construction and operating permits to industrial, commercial, and institutional sources that use or store materials with a potential to emit air pollutants into the air we breathe. These permits are required by Federal and State laws and regulations.
The Engineering Services Division, which administers the permitting process, has four sections: Piedmont Permitting, Sandhills and Pulp & Paper Permitting, Coastal Plains and Power Permitting, and General Permitting and Support. This division's primary function is to review permit applications and issue air quality construction, operating, and registration permits to facilities that emit regulated air pollutants.
Please use the navigation bar on the left to learn more about the different types of air permits, their application and compliance processes, associated forms and guidance, and contacts for air permitting in South Carolina.
For more information please contact the Bureau of Air Quality at (803) 898-4123 or by email.

My Favorite Pet Store – I have been to a lot of pet stores over the years, and by far, Jones and Co. Pets is my favorite. They have the widest selection of products of any pet store I've seen and they're well priced. I've always been met with friendly staff members, and have always had my questions answered. Granted, I'm sure some people have had one problem or another with them over the years, but all in all, I think they are a wonderful pet store. I especially like them because they work with NOAH on adopting cats out instead of selling them, and they don't carry dogs- which means NO PUPPY MILLS and that is a HUGE plus for me. Of all the stores around, I would recommend them to anyone.
customer service is the key – Wow. Let me tell you...when asking some generic questions about the types of service and qualifications of their staff, I was very quickly interupted and given the cold shoulder. Not a positive environment at all. Imagine how the animals feel picking up on all that.
Carry the high end foods for reasonable prices – For the person claiming animal cruelty or selling animals for experimentation-you are full of B.S.!!!!
Anyway, they are one of the few pet stores in our area that 1) carry the quality pet foods like Natural Balance. They run a frequent buyer's program where you can buy 10 bags and get one free.
2) they do NOT sell puppies or kittens (unlike Bridges)
3) they support local shelters by having adoptions and donation jars for places like NOAH.
4) The store is roomy and very easy to get around in.
I have show dogs and spend a lot of money on them and they only get the best. That's why I shop at Jones and Co. I can get the BEST for reasonable prices.
has great potential – This store has such potential to be a wonderful place to shop for your pets ? however, their horrible customer service, lack of supplies for sale, and insane prices damage that quality. They have a very large pet store, which is very nice, but not a great selection of items for sale. I?ve also noticed many expired pet treats/food for sale. They do carry sme great things for sale... and my dog thanks them for their dog bone selection.

On a flight to Mexico, our hero encounters another man in the passenger plane's huge bathroom after they get out of bed. (This plane had sleeping berths.) "I didn't sleep well last night," complains the man. "I'm having trouble with insomnia."
"Oh, insomnia. I know a good cure for it — get plenty of sleep," advises W.C Fields, who later jumps out of the airplane's open-air observation deck, without a parachute, to rescue a bottle of booze he accidentally knocked over the side. (It's all right; he lands on a mattress.)
That is from "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break" and it's one of my favorite quips by Fields, who — along with author Joseph Heller and the Paul Newman version of Judge Roy Bean — provides my key philosophical fulcrums.
Accordingly, if anybody complains to me about the lack of depression (no one has recently, but that doesn't matter), I'm ready with a solution.

I know a cure for the problem of depression deprivation. Get plenty of news stories about bobblehead doll abominations and the MacArthur Road nightmare, and you'll never again suffer from insufficient gloom.
According to various news accounts, bobblehead dolls depicting John Wilkes Booth, the man who murdered Abraham Lincoln around the end of the Civil War, were being sold at the visitor center in America's most hallowed place, Gettysburg National Military Park.
My first lurch toward deep depression came as I pondered what kind of sick minds came up with a John Wilkes Booth Bobblehead. What sort of depraved creatures were buying them? Who in the National Park Service thought that peddling these things was a good idea?
What's next? Bobbleheads glamorizing Osama bin Laden sold at the 9/11 Memorial at ground zero in New York? How about a statue honoring Benedict Arnold at Valley Forge, or at the Bucks County site where Washington crossed the Delaware?
How long before Ted Bundy and the Marquis de Sade are honored at the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, N.Y., birthplace of America's women's movement? Maybe someone can design a Joseph Stalin Bobblehead to be sold at the Vatican, or a James Earl Ray doll might be a big hit at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington.
The Associated Press said the 7-inch-tall Booth Bobbleheads, complete with his pistol (gee, what a nice touch) were removed from visitor center shelves after being sold at $20 each for about a week.
The dolls are made by Bobblehead LLC of Kansas City, Mo., which previously had a problem when owner Rick Lynn tried to have a doll mocking the Dalai Lama, Buddhism's most revered figure, manufactured in China. The anti-religion commies of China had too much class and refused.
The people at America's most hallowed site had no such compunctions, reflecting the depravity of those who still cling to the glamour of antebellum tyranny and the treason of monsters like Booth.
Not sufficiently depressed yet? A story in The Morning Call on Wednesday ought to do the trick. It said the leaders of Whitehall Township have cooked up a plan to "attract developers" to the southern part of MacArthur Road by implementing a Local Economic Revitalization Tax Abatement zone.
Taxes would be deferred for 10 years to "lure developers," the story said. (If you are wondering who always makes up the difference posed by commercial interests and their unpaid taxes, look in a mirror.)
New waves of booming business along MacArthur, it was argued, will result in fabulous trickle-down benefits for everybody. Top township Commissioner Linda Snyder said Whitehall could adopt a Neighborhood Improvement Zone, like the one Allentown plans for its ice hockey arena (which some of us fear may turn into the biggest boondoggle since Northampton County's $111 million red-ink bond issue).
The promises about fabulous benefits, however, are not the most depressing part.
I am trying to imagine somebody driving along any part of the MacArthur Road rat race in Whitehall Township and saying this: "You know what this corridor really needs? More commercial development to raise ever more revenue so that township officials can have more money to play with."
Now that I am satiated with enough delicious depression to last me a while, all this recent news brings to mind another of my favorite W.C. Fields quotations:
"There comes a time in the affairs of a man when he has to take the bull by the tail and face the situation."

Clinical Trials
At any given time there are a large number of clinical trials taking place at Nationwide Children's that offer state-of-the-art therapies and additional treatment options to your child.
Biospecimen Core Resource
Nationwide Children's is processing tumor and tissue for The Cancer Genome Atlas, the nation's largest cancer genome study. Learn more about our role as a Biospecimen Core Resource.
Pediatric Tumor Bank
Thanks to advances during the last 20 years, many children are cured of their cancer during childhood. Still, survival is not consistent across all childhood cancers and current therapies are horrendously toxic. Simply put, the required drugs and approaches to successfully meet the needs of children with cancer remain frustratingly out of reach.
Nationwide Children's Hematology/Oncology/BMT is committed to advancing both basic and clinical research. The division maintains active membership in the Children's Oncology Group and the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortium, and is a research member of the International Blood and Marrow Transplant Registry. The division is also involved in other clinical research efforts aimed at improving bone marrow transplant outcomes. Hematology, Oncology & BMT works hand-in-hand with the Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Diseases to expand the understanding of childhood cancer and to improve strategies for its diagnosis and treatment.
Approximately 74 percent of eligible oncology patients are enrolled in clinical trials at Nationwide Children's Hospital, making the division one of the leading cancer centers for clinical trial enrollment by the Children's Oncology Group.
Browse current research studies being conducted at Nationwide Children's related to Hematology/Oncology/BMT
A comprehensive cancer biobanking has existed at Nationwide Children's since the late 1980s. Currently, the Biopathology Center is one of the largest cancer biobanks in North America and includes the Children's Onoclogy Group (COG) biobank. The Biopathology Center receives more than $15 million annually from the National Institutes of Health to support these efforts. Specimens are received from more than 500 hospitals in the United States and Canada, as well as New Zealand, the Netherlands, Australia, Japan and Switzerland. This lab receives, processes, characterizes and stores approximately 100 new cancer cases each day.
The longstanding biobanking expertise at Nationwide Children's resulted in our designation as a Biospecimen Core Resource for The Cancer Genome Atlas Project, the largest research project ever undertaken by the National Institutes of Health.
The Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program (PPTP) is a multi-center initiative supported by the U.S. National Cancer Institute and led by Center for Childhood Cancer Director, Dr. Peter Houghton. Through the PPTP, scientists systematically evaluate new against 47 mouse models of eight tumor types. The primary goal is to identify new agents that have the potential for being clinically effective.
$11.5 Million Contract Extends Biospecimen Banking
Nationwide Children's recently was awarded $11.5 million from the National Cancer Institute to contiue its role as one of two Biospecimen Core Resources for The Cancer Genome Atlas. Contract awards to Nationwide Children's could total up to $49.2 million over six years.
New Technology Allows for Fluorescence Whole Slide Scanning
The Biomedical Imaging Team at Nationwide Children's will soon acquire equipment (the Aperio ScanScope FL) to expand its digital slide capabilities to include fluorescence labeled samles. This technology will significantly improve research pertaining to pediatric cancers.
