Will Companies Drop Healthcare Coverage Because of ACA?
Will 2014 mark the beginning of the end for employer-sponsored health insurance as we know it? Target recently announced that it will no longer provide health insurance for its part-time employees. Trader Joe's and Home Depot also made similar moves. Why? Some experts say it's because of Obamacare. Others are not so sure.

Why U.S. Telecom Companies Need to Get Out of the Pipeline Business
The U.S. telecom landscape is shifting quickly and companies rethinking their traditional business models. No longer are service providers known positively for their infrastructure (AT&T is blamed when there's a dropped call on a beloved iPhone), but rather phone companies are praised for their products. To solve these problems, the U.S. should look to India.

Why Businesses Should Shift from Cost Management to Cost Leadership
Instead of cost management, it's time for CEOs to practice cost leadership. Cost leadership is reflected in a culture that, independent of macroeconomic circumstances, pursues a low cost, high-quality, customer-centric approach to managing the business. By doing this, you can turn cost consciousness into a strategic position and sustain your business.

ACCA says although VAT was supposed to be a simple tax when introduced on 1 April 1973, it has become so complicated that 56 per cent of small businesses say it is an obstacle to their business success, according to figures from the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, ACCA head of taxation, said: 'VAT was supposed to be a simple tax, harmonised across Europe, when it arrived back in 1973. Today, some VAT rates are double what they were back then, we have a non-harmonised system at European Union level and VAT treatments today fall into five different categories, which make it far from simple. VAT has clearly become an obstacle for businesses looking to grow. Making it less complicated seems like an obvious solution but it is an essential one if we want the UK's SME and sole trader sectors to develop without the tax system holding it back.
'Over the last 40 years we have seen VAT throw up the most bizarre debates over what falls into the VAT net, including the Jaffa Cake conundrum that ended up in court and saw McVities go to great lengths to prove the Jaffa Cake was not a biscuit for VAT purposes. Looking ahead, eBooks provide us with a new dilemma. Having established that eBooks share more in common with standard-rated services than they do the protected zero-rated class of printed books, we now have the whole issue of where you actually charge the VAT on eBooks – with particular focus on the tendency of some suppliers to charge UK VAT to the publisher (20 per cent) but only pay over Luxembourg VAT (3.5 per cent) to the authorities.
'Making VAT easier for businesses would also help the enforcement authorities as well. Businesses get VAT wrong and payment systems that split the VAT off at the point of sale, sending it direct to the Treasury with merchants only keeping the net receipt would make life easier for everyone – business and tax collectors alike. However, this would exclude cash dealings and we are not quite at the point where cash sales are dead and everything is paid for electronically. Even here the development of phantomware in payment systems could allow businesses to manipulate how much tax they pay. Recent HMRC figures show that almost 70 per cent of visits by trained investigators found such sales manipulation software, so any future VAT system would need to be robust.'
ACCA points out businesses are faced with five VAT categories of Standard Rated, Zero Rated, Reduced Rated, Exempt or outside the scope of VAT – with more complex issues relating to areas such as restaurant discounts. The variation of how VAT is applied in different countries is also confusing with some countries outside Europe applying VAT across the board and then paying rebates to those on the lowest incomes.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury added: '40 years of VAT is not a cause for celebration. It is a reminder of the never-ending headache VAT creates for businesses.'

Working tirelessly behind the scenes, ROM Conservators help protect our collections from damage and restore objects to their previous splendor. Ok. Maybe we're generalizing a bit, so we went right to the source and asked Cathy Stewart, Manager of Conservation, a few questions to help uncover what Conservators really do at the ROM.
It was another full house in Samuel Hall/Currelly Gallery on the Wednesday evening March 7 as the ROM History Wars debate centred on the place of French language, culture and people in Canadian society and governance. As the format allows a straw poll of hands up in the air, the measure of the audience was taken at the beginning of the debate and after to see if our speakers had moved anyone on their views of a bilingual Canada. The results of both votes showed a significant number of people who were and remained undecided. Not surprising when considering such a complex issue.
Yesterday, we introduced you to, Dr. ROMulous, the host of the ROM's March Break activitity, The Game Show at the End of the World. Not to leave you in the dark, we are pleased to give you the back story on our superhero of science and history!
Dr. ROMulous was born in the back seat of his parent's broken down lollipop orange Volkswagen.
Having laid awake for nights on end, the fabulous Dr. ROMulous and the ROM team have devised a new game show for March Break at the ROM (March 10 – 18). Inspired by Maya: Secrets of their Ancient World and Dr. ROMulous's recent trip to Palenque, Mexico, The Game Show at the End of the World is a contest that will challenge your wits and tickle your funny bone!

In Detail
Microsoft Silverlight is a programmable web browser plug-in that enables the animation, vector graphics, and audio-video playback features that characterize Rich Internet Applications. Silverlight is a great (and growing) RIA platform and games are the next level to exploit in it. But it doesn't offer 3D capabilities out of the box and integrating a 3D engine can involve lot of complex mathematics and matrix algebra. This book will help C# developers to get their fingers on the pulse of 3D in Silverlight.
This book uses Balder, an open source 3D engine offering 3D capabilities for Silverlight 3. It leaves out boring matrix algebra and complex 3D mathematics. By the end of the book you will have explored the entire engine, and will be able to design and program your own 3D games with ease!
The book begins by introducing you to the fundamental concepts of 2D games and then drives you into the 3D world, using easy-to-follow, step-by-step examples. The book employs amazing graphics and impressive performance, and increasingly adds more features to a 3D game giving you a rich interactive experience.
By following the practical examples in this book, you will learn the important concepts, from the creation of the initial models, up to the addition of physics and artificial intelligence.
The book helps you to provide realistic behaviors for 3D characters by enveloping models with different textures, using lights to create effects, animating multiple 3D characters using a physics engine (Farseer Physics Engine), and simulating real-life physics. Videos, music, and sounds associated with specific events offer the final touches to the 3D game development learning experience.
This book takes a step-by-step approach to building a complete interactive 3D game using Silverlight and enhancing it through its related technologies. The book focuses on practical examples and has a friendly approach, with the opportunity to learn by experiment and play. It uses illustrations, screenshots, and interactive experiences to understand the most complex topics related to the 3D scenes.
Who this book is for
This book is designed primarily for C# developers with basic knowledge of the Visual Studio IDE who want to develop online 3D games using Silverlight or create interactive 3D scenes for a web site with animated models. No prior experience in 3D programming, 3D animation, or Silverlight is required.
The book is also aimed at 3D developers who want to improve their online content, offering innovative 3D models in action.

It was 6-year-old Sally's first movie role, playing a young Dorothy Lamour in the 1936 film "The Jungle Princess," which also starred Ray Milland.

Staff Writer
McALESTER —
A death row inmate at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary was executed Tuesday evening in the prison's death chamber.
Brian Darrell Davis, 38, had requested no special last meal for his execution day. He ate what the other offenders at OSP had for dinner, said OSP Warden's Assistant Terry Crenshaw. "BBQ bologna, bread, rice, cookies and lemonade."
Witnessing the execution were three media representatives, one of Davis's attorneys, Kay County Sheriff Everette Vanhoesen and an Oklahoma Department of Corrections representative.
The execution procedures began at 6:19 p.m. and OSP Warden Anita Trammell asked Davis if he would like to say any last words.
"Yes, I would," Davis said. "First I would like to say I would like to give the glory to God." Davis then began quoting biblical scripture. "I shall not die, but live," he said. "His word is will and let His will be done. I give God the last word — Psalm 119: 17 and 18."
Davis then quoted more scripture and finished his last statement when he said, "Thank you."
At 6:20 p.m., Trammell said, "Let the execution begin."
At 6:21 p.m., Davis's breathing became labored. His body shuttered and his eyes closed.
At 6:25 p.m. an attending physician pronounced Davis's time of death.
Earlier this month, the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board voted 4-1 to recommend granting clemency to Davis.
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt released a statement on June 7 in which he denounced the board's clemency vote and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin denied the recommendation, saying that Davis is to be executed as scheduled.
"This convicted murderer lured his estranged girlfriend's mother to his apartment and then brutally raped her, broke her jaw, stabbed her six times, puncturing her abdomen, and left her for dead while he drove around in her van," Pruitt said. "He does not deserve our pity or clemency, and it is incomprehensible that four members of the pardon and parole board would usurp the judgment of a jury and deny this family justice."
Of the last 11 death row inmates set for execution in Oklahoma, the board voted to recommend clemency only one other time, for Garry Thomas Allen. As with Davis, Fallin did not approve the board's recommendation and Allen was executed Nov. 6, 2012.
Davis is the second death row inmate set for execution this month. James Lewis DeRosa, 36, was put to death via lethal injection on June 18. The board did not recommend clemency for DeRosa.
Both DeRosa and Davis opted to make no last meal requests.
In fact, both offenders made no requests at all, Crenshaw said. This includes last meal requests as well as requests for visitors on execution day. Crenshaw said the fact that the two inmates chose to make no last meal requests is quite out of the ordinary. Davis and DeRosa were cell mates, Crenshaw said.
On April 15, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Davis's final appeal and Pruitt requested an execution date be set.
Davis was convicted of the Nov. 4, 2001, rape and murder of 52-year-old Josephine "Jody" Sanford.
"In January 2003, Davis was found guilty by a jury for the November 2001 first-degree murder and rape of his girlfriend's mother, Jody Sanford, 52, of Ponca City," Pruitt said in a press release. "He was sentenced to death for the murder and 100 years for rape."
According to court records, Davis returned home in the early morning hours of Nov. 4, 2001, after socializing with friends at a local club. When he arrived home, he found that his girlfriend, Stacey Sanford, and their 3-year-old daughter were missing.
Davis called Jody Sanford, Stacey Sanford's mother, to ask if she knew were his girlfriend and daughter were, court records state. "When Jody could not locate her daughter and granddaughter, she went to Stacey's and Davis's apartment."
Davis made several conflicting statements regarding what happened while Jody Sanford was in his home. According to court records, he changed his story multiple times and told different stories to his girlfriend, to police and to the jury at his trial. Court records indicate that Davis did admit to having sex with and stabbing Jody Sanford.
When Stacey Sanford arrived home shortly after 9 a.m., she found her mother's body. "Stacey (Sanford) immediately called 911 and local police arrived to investigate," court records state. "Meanwhile, Davis had been involved in a single-car accident while driving Jody's van near the Salt Fork River Bridge. Davis was seriously injured after he was ejected from the van through the front windshield. Davis was transported to a local hospital for treatment."
Because Davis had a blood alcohol level of .09 percent, he was placed under arrest for driving under the influence and was later transferred to a regional hospital in Wichita, Kan., for treatment for injuries he sustained in the car accident.
According to Pruitt, Jody Sanford had been beaten and stabbed six times and DNA evidence showed Davis had raped her.
Davis had been in custody with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections since March 17, 2003.

Reasons for Test
Possible Complications
What to Expect
Prior to Test
- What time it happened
- Where it happened
- What you ate
- What you have come in contact with
Description of the Test
- Blood testing—You will roll up your sleeve. The area will be cleaned with an antiseptic. An elastic band will be tied around your upper arm. A needle will be inserted into the vein. Blood will be collected into a vial. The elastic band will be untied and the needle will be removed. The blood sample will be sent to the lab for testing. The blood will be tested to see if it reacts to certain substances.
- Skin testing—The suspected cause of your allergic reaction will be applied directly to your skin. It may be applied with a shallow scratch or with a skin-prick needle. The needle will push the substance into the upper layer of your skin. For every allergen tested, you will have a separate scratch or skin prick. Redness and swelling will appear if you are allergic. It usually takes about 15-20 minutes to appear. This may be followed by intradermal testing. In this case, the allergen is placed deeper into the skin.
- Patch testing—Patches containing suspected allergens are placed on the skin. The patches will be left in place for 48 hours. You will be asked not to shower or get them wet. They will then be removed. The skin will be examined after 48-96 hours. If there is a reaction, the skin will become itchy at the site. A blister-like lesion may form.
After Test
How Long Will It Take?
- For blood testing: a few minutes
- For skin testing: 15-20 minutes
- For patch testing: 48 hours with the patch on, 48-96 hours for observation
Will It Hurt?

Summer reading at the touch of a button
Thursday, 15 August 2013
With thousands of eBooks and eAudio titles now available from Hampshire County Council's Library Service, there is plenty of holiday reading to choose from this summer that won't take up luggage space.
Library users can also enjoy free internet access in all County Council run libraries from the end of August, so people can use their own laptops and tablets in the county's biggest Discovery Centres or the smallest local libraries.
Since eBooks and eAudio titles were launched in 2009 they have been hugely popular among Hampshire's library card holders, and figures show more people are now using this high-tech way of accessing the books they love. Last year there were almost 74,000 downloads - up around a fifth on the year before. Meanwhile, since April this year alone there have been nearly 35,000 downloads.
Customers can access free loans of up to five eBooks/eAudiobooks at a time, the online collection now includes an impressive 9,674 titles and 2,555 audio books.
The most popular genres with eLibrary users are crime and thrillers, Sci Fi, historical, biographies and romance, while authors that feature frequently in the top 20 include:
Dan Brown
Stieg Larsson
James Patterson
Lee Child
The most popular children's authors include:
Jacqueline Wilson
JK Rowling
Michael Morpurgo
Lemony Snicket.
Young readers can enjoy around 600 eBooks and eAudio titles for children and teenagers from Hampshire's Library Service.
For those looking to get away this summer, there are also hundreds of travel books in the collection which can accompany you on your journey via portable devices, without taking up valuable luggage space.
If the title is on loan it can be reserved free of charge. An e-mail alerts customers that it has become available and they have 24 hours to download it. Library users can even recommend titles they would like to see in stock.
Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Culture, Recreation and Countryside Councillor Keith Chapman said: "This high-tech way of reading and listening to books is really popular with new and existing library users. It's also another way that Hampshire County Council is adapting to new technology and providing a library service that meets the evolving, modern-day needs of our customers.
"Hampshire has one of the largest library services in the whole of the UK and offers so much more than many people realise. Libraries and Discovery Centres are a great resource for local residents, not only as a place to read, but also as a platform for encouraging knowledge, creativity and socialising.
"As people's needs evolve, so will our Library Service, so that we are continuing to bring new and improved services to everyone in Hampshire."
Customers can download eBooks and eAudiobooks to a range of portable devices via their computer, or if they own a tablet, direct to that device using the Overdrive Media Console App. Around 887 eAudiobooks can also be downloaded on to mp3 players.
Just like printed books, only one borrower can check out an eBook at a time and for popular titles, users must reserve a copy.
Customers can choose to borrow eBooks and eAudiobooks for seven or 14 days, files then expire and must be deleted which means that there will never be any overdue fines to pay!

My Discussions
My Email Digests
I was reading another post, in an attempt to learn more about a pain medication called Butrans that my PM and I spoke about switching over to.
I've been on pain meds for about 6 years now, after a car accident left me with three knee surgeries, 60k worth of Titanium implanted in my lower back, and a pinched nerve in my neck. My pain without medication is not controllable, as I work 12-15 hours a day, and have little time for rest.
Since starting pain meds, I've gone from 5mg Percoset, all the way to 80mg er Oxydontin, plus 30 mg ir OxyContin. Last September, I decided that I couldn't continue taking medication at these levels for ever, and that a certain point, even the high dose I was taking would become ineffective.
That said, I decided without my PM's knowledge, that I would stop taking the pills in an attempt to clean out my system for a few weeks, then go back to a more manageable does. I did ask my PM MD about viable,options to ween off, like Suboxone, or Subutex, but these were medications that he couldn't prescribe, and I'd have to see a Phsyciatrist to get on an "addiction program". I did not like the sound of that,mas I'm not an addict, and did not want to be labeled as one. It's bad enough picking these medications up after 6 years, the people at the pharmacy already look at you funny. No doubt I am dependent, but I am not an addict. Again, I told myself that this was something I needed to do, and did, I stopped cold turkey for 2.5 weeks. It was pure torture, as I did go through withdrawals, and my pain was unbelievable, it almost made me crazy it hurt so bad, but I was committed to making this work, for both myself, and my Doctor, as even he was running out of options.
After the "clean out", so to speak, I went back to 20 mg er Oxy, and 10 mg ir for breakthrough pain, and everything was grand. I am extremely proud of myself for being able to walk away from the meds for that long, particularly with the amount of pain I was in....
Which brings me to my point.... My dose is becoming not enough to keep the pain away, and as I read in another post, instead of going up on the OxyContin and Oxycodone, maybe there is another "type" or opiate that I can switch to for a few months in the same amount, then return to the original stuff....
I've tried Opana, Nucynta, and some other "new" medication, and they simply had no effect on my pain, I would compare them to an aspirin, compared to the Oxy stuff. Maye they work for someone not opiate tolerant, but not for me..
I don't abuse my medication, and try to be as practical and responsible as can be, which is why I'm here posting this. If possible, I'd like to switch up opiates as prescribed by my PM, versus going up to the 80/30 mg combo again, then having to clean it out of my system again a few years from now. I'd much rather do that, then to try another NEW medication, with what would seem to have undesirable side effects for people with a tolerance to opiates like Butrans.
My PM and I have a great relationship, and he and I work together in managing my pain meds. For that I am truly appreciative of him and his efforts. That said, I know he would be happy for me to present a medication plan instead of just going up on MG levels.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Take care, Annette
I went off of my medications through free-will. In fact, I turned the left over medication into him, as I didn't want to overdose being that I had no tellerance for them.
It's funny you say that, it sounds like you may think I was doing something wrong, when in fact, my only intent was to better myself, which I did...
You see, this is the problem with taking these medications, everyone assumes that you're doing something wrong because of the negative persona surrounding them. It really is a shame...
So anyways, back to the point. Does anyone have a regiment of switching medication types that has worked for them?
Of course, your new MD will see, from your records, that you were prescribed a lot more med and you went through a lot to do what you have done.
As far as changing from one opiate to another, there is a morphine equivalent to each different med.
The MD will know this.
With my MD, and I have read that others do it this way, one is always started on less-than the equivalent, as everyone responds differently to the different meds.
It really is unfortunate that you didn't tell your MD that you were discontinuing your meds. There are some meds that can be taken temporarily to ease the withdrawal symptoms.
Not that it matters now, but it could have been less horrible.
My opinion is that your MD should make the recommendation about which med would have the best potential to help your condition.
I am not saying this in judgement, but it does seem odd that your MD would want you to suggest a pain med.
It is the MD's job to assess your pathology and symptomology, know the meds, and make recommendations as to the best "fit".
Since you're seeing a pain management specialist, he/ she really should know the actions and adverse effects of all the meds that would have potential to help you.
I have never heard of an MD who prefers his patient to pick his opiate.
I was taking it for a long time and the side effect of sweating was making my life unmanageable. My MD switched me from Methadone to MS Contin.
Thankfully, the awful sweating is far less, but the Methadone helped my pain better-than the MS.
Yes, it is a shame that Methadone has so much stigma attached to its use.
I think I have a wonderful situation in that my PM practice has its own pharmacy for controlled substances. We get then filled right at the office before leaving. Since all are patients of the practice and all meds are controlled, there is no stigma attached.
Pharmacists should know that Methadone dispensed to heroin addicts is in a liquid form and the clients get it from a Methadone dispensary, not as a month's supply from a pain management MD.
Please consider what helps your pain and ignore anyone who doesn't know with what you're living. People who do not live with chronic pain really cannot fully understand what our day-to-day life is like.
Best wishes,
I did not want to take the recommended Subutex or Suboxone, as I've read the they can be even worse than my original medications with respect to getting off of them. Beyond that, I didn't like the stigma attached to them as a "treatment for addiction". I am dependent, not addicted, huge difference to me.
Now as far as "telling my doctor" what to and not to prescribe would never happen. My wish was to not come to him with "I need to go up" in mg of my medications, I'd like to say "maybe we can try switching them" instead.
You guys are right, I should leave it to him, my question to all of you, as opiate users is, what kinds work for you, if in fact this is something you've been successful with so that I can "suggest" what may work, and so he doesn't suggest things that don't, like Opana, Nucynta, etc.
Thanks again for your non-judgmental reply!
The Methadone comment was written as sarcasm, though I honestly did not know how methadone is dispensed. That little bit of unknown knowledge is what leads people to judgment most times. I had no idea it was used for pain management, I've only heard of its use for the management of addiction in heroine addicts via the t.v. which only shows my ignorance.
Again, I meant no offense, I was simply trying to make a point to another about passing judgment, as that same judgment was passed to me.
I'm not a sneaky addict trying to find new drugs to replace something, I'm looking for options that I might suggest to my PM in lieu of increasing the amount of medication that I take. Simple as that. If Morphine is the same as OxyContin, maybe I can suggest that instead of asking for more OxyContin, switching from one to another will help my body from needing higher amounts of the Oxy. Maybe it's my inability to articulate all of this that is creating confusion.
Thanks again.
My pain med history is long. I was also injured in a car accident in 2007/ You can click on my name or little pic to read my brief history.
When I began with pain management, I was prescribed Oxycontin. It worked really well for a while. I quickly became tolerant to the original dose and had it increased.
After the second increase, my MD recommended Duragesic( fentanyl) patches. I did very well with them for a while.
During one summer, I had so much difficulty getting them to stick. I lost three patches in a one-month time. It became more bother to me constantly worrying about losing patches.
I asked if I could be switched to a po med and began of the Methadone. As I wrote, the pain relief was great, but the side effects were making me miserable. I was sweating so much that I became housebound. I couldn't go anywhere.
I was switched to morphine contin and decided to have the spinal cord stimulator about the same time.
The SCS has been a miracle to me. I have written extensively about it on this site. When you click on my name, some recent topics that I've written will show up. There is probably a discussion on spinal cord stim there, if you'd like to read more. I'd be glad to speak with anyone about this modality.
With the SCS, I was able to reduce my morphine by about 60% over the initial six months.
Right now, I have tapered down from 210 mg/day to 120 mg/day.
I am also going to do a drug holiday. For the last 120 mg, I am going to have medical support of a benzo and clonidine.
I am afraid that I won't be able to take the pain, but I really want to try. I don't see my PM for another few weeks and am waiting to see him for discussion and prescriptions before I abruptly stop the last 120 mg/day.
Keep in touch, ok,
I am going out and will not be on line until tomorrow. I am not ignoring you should you post a reply.
I promise to check this site tomorrow and will be pleased to discuss this more.
You know, it has been six years for you; that's a long time.
Have you or your MD considered spinal cord stim?
Below is a site for the company that makes my unit.
If you have any questions that I may be able to answer, do ask.
"Talk" to you tomorrow,
My biggest issues were severe diarrhea, which is easily controlled by large doses of Imodium ad, which also will help with the feeling of uneasiness, if taken in the proper quantities. Other than that, was my leg, the pain shooting down was amplified by ten, which I treated with 800mg Ibuprofen. Lastly was my inability to sleep, that was the worst part of this, as after a few days, I would have givin anything for 5 hours of sleep straight. Nothing I tried helped with this, and any medication used for sleep made me tired, but still unable to sleep for more than a few minutes at a time. That part was torture.
I wish you strength to get past this, but you can do it if you really want to! Again, Imodium ad is your friend, don't forget that! Just don't take it longer than needed (3-4 days).
Good luck, let me know if you need to talk.
Thank you for writing and addressing this. I need all the info and support that I can gather.
My daughter is my primary care giver. I have another friend who helps me when my daughter isn't available. She works full time and is a full time college student. I hate that my injuries interfere with her life, but she says that she is happy and like to help me. Yeah, I know that I am lucky!
During the "holiday", I've already secured a housekeeper for once a week to take some of the strain off of my daughter.
I have a few friends who want to help if they can.
I'll also have Clonidine for the sweats (ugh) and chills and Ativan for the anxiety and restless legs.
I still have a few weeks until I begin with this last phase. I'll probably be on this site a whole lot during the "holiday".
Thanks again,
To whom are you addressing your question?
I started using methadone when I went on Medicare Part D, as it is VERY cheap and I could avoid going through the whole donut hole thing. It is about $25 a month if you don't have insurance, can't get any cheaper than that. I was on a generic of morphine ER before that for many years.
I never accused you of being a drug addict, I didn't even think of that. I just commented about not even telling a doctor that you have a great relationship with that you were going off of opiates that you had been on for a long time. I thought like Beth that the doctor could have helped you through any withdrawals you ended up going through. There is no need to suffer like that these days.
Take care, Annette
I did not assume you were doing anything wrong. I just commented on how you went about it.
Take care, Annette

WEST DEPTFORD, NJ -- Mary Sherlach looked forward to spending more time on Owasco Lake during her retirement.
She and her husband, Bill, owned a cabin along the Finger Lakes in upstate New York.
Mary Sherlach was one year away from retirement.
But on Friday morning, her life ended in the second most deadly school shooting in American history.
Sherlach, 56, was school psychologist at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, where a gunman opened fire, killing 26 people, including 20 children. The gunman, identified as 20-year-old Adam Lanza, also killed his mother, who was a teacher at the school, according to reports. He died in the rampage at the school, bringing the death toll to 28.
Sherlach, who lived in Trumbull, CT, had worked at the school for more than 20 years, said her son-in-law, Eric Schwartz, a freelance writer who covers high school sports for Patch in South Jersey.
Schwartz said by telephone Friday night that he and his wife, Maura, first learned of the shootings Friday morning after receiving a panicked phone call from Maura's sister, Katy.
"She was saying, 'Turn on the news, turn on the news,'" Eric Schwartz recalled.
At first, the couple was hopeful when a report indicated that only one person at the school had been shot, in the foot. But the news quickly turned grim.
Broadcast reports confirmed that the school's principal and psychologist had been killed in the shootings.
"It was a really helpless feeling," recalled Eric Schwartz, 28. "For about an hour, you try to say, 'They got it wrong, they got it wrong.'"
Eric and Maura Schwartz immediately drove to Connecticut from their home in Deptford, NJ.
"I still don't think anyone's fully grasped it," Eric Schwartz said from the Sherlach family's home Friday night. "It still doesn't feel real. It's hard to wrap your head around it."
The family was still waiting for more details about the shooting that took Mary Sherlach's life, he said.
'She wanted to help'
Mary Sherlach enjoyed her work at Sandy Hook, especially when she could get through to a struggling student.
"She wanted to help kids get over their problems and go on to be successful," Eric Schwartz said.
Mary Sherlach was an avid Miami Dolphins fan, and she could easily get riled up during a game, especially when her team wasn't performing well, her son-in-law recalled. He took good-natured ribbing from her for being a Buffalo Bills fan.
"She was very sharp and she had a very nice sense of humor," Eric Schwartz said. "She was opinionated, but in a good way."
Now, Eric Schwartz said, Mary Sherlach's family is left to ponder all the what-ifs.
"It's not fair that she never gets to hold a grandchild. She went from getting up and going to work like any other day, to ... gone."
(Editor's note: An earlier version of this story spelled Katy Sherlach's first name incorrectly.)
