Retirees who meet eligibility requirements for retiree medical benefits must enroll in a City retiree medical plan within 31 days from the date of separation from service. If no election is made or coverage is terminated anytime after the initial enrollment, your City retiree eligibility will permanently end.
Eligible Dependent Dependents may be enrolled in City retiree health benefits if they were covered at the time of your retirement and you enroll them at the time of your initial retiree medical election.

The city of Memphis and Shelby County governments have a difference of opinion about tax revenue and education funding.
It is over where the sales tax revenue would go within a tourism development zone the city wants to use to finance the redevelopment of the Mid-South Fairgrounds.
Shelby County Trustee David Lenoir and the Delta Sigma Theta Memphis Alumnae Chapter will hold "Home for the Holidays: A Housing and Economic Empowerment Collaborative" Saturday, Nov. 23, from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Hickory Ridge Mall, 6075 Winchester Road. The event will include a small-business resource center, legal clinic, Homebuyer's Corner, H.O.M.E. financial literacy and budgeting workshop, and more. Visit memphisalumnaedst.org.
The 2013 Memphis International Jazz Festival will be held through Sunday, Nov. 24, in Downtown Memphis and the South Main Historic Arts District. Visit memphisinternationaljazzfestival.com for a lineup.
It may be the first time that a Shelby County Commissioner has given public notice of a barbecue.
Commissioner Steve Basar has held four at his house in the year that he's been on the elected body.

Shelby County government leaders say a city plan to use incremental sales tax revenue within a tourism development zone to revitalize the Fairgrounds will take the share of that revenue that goes to Shelby County Schools.
The fifth annual Mike Conley Bowl-n-Bash, benefiting the Methodist Healthcare Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center, will be held Saturday, Sept. 28, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Billy Hardwick's All Star Lanes, 1576 S.

The percentage is about the same because there are fewer registered voters in Shelby County than there were four years ago after a purge by election officials.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee Supreme Court justices could be challenged in re-election campaigns under a proposal advanced by a Senate panel on Wednesday. But House leaders are voicing support for a rival measure with a more limited scope.

NASHVILLE (AP) - The state attorney general has issued a legal opinion that a legislative proposal to make it a crime for illegal immigrants to accept pay for work done in Tennessee is unconstitutional.
The Memphis City Council's discussion about regulating strip clubs lurched back to life this month with council passage on the second of three readings of a controversial ordinance.
Much of the council's debate dealt with passing an ordinance that would replace the one passed by the Shelby County Board of Commissioners last year that covers the unincorporated county as well as Memphis.
It's the year of the open seat on the Memphis City Council.
With seven incumbents not running for re-election and the resignation last month of an eighth, it is already the biggest turnover of council seats in the 40-year history of the mayor-council form of government.
Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz PC has named Kristine L. Roberts its Memphis Pro Bono Attorney of the Year.

Roberts serves on the Access to Justice Committee of the Memphis Bar Association and volunteers as a judge for educational mock trial events.

Factors* affecting the property identified in previous reports
Corrective Measures
Current conservation issues
In 2003 an exchange of letters took place between the World Heritage Centre and the Maltese authorities on several issues related to the Megalithic Temples of Malta, in particular on the proposal for interim landfills for domestic waste near the temples of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra in Qrendi. The State Party also requested UNESCO's involvement in a EU-funded project for a Heritage Park for these two temples. Furthermore, a letter of complaint was received on the illegal construction of houses close to the Ggatija temple, on Gozo Island, which resulted in the destruction of ancient remains. The Centre also received information about continued vandalism and illegal bird-catching structures, including trappers' huts, in the area of the temples.
The State Party provided the Centre with an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which includes a section dedicated to the impact of the landfills on the World Heritage property. In the conclusions of the EIA, the temples are being identified as the most vulnerable receptors of permanent impacts resulting from vibration and chemical emissions, and will also be affected by temporary impacts resulting from developments activities (noise, dust, odour, artificial light, traffic). The EIA foresees in appropriate thresholds on vibration and chemical emission to prevent damage to the cultural heritage. The EIA was transmitted to ICOMOS and ICCROM for comments.
Furthermore, the World Heritage Centre has been informed that the Ministry for Youth and the Arts, in consultation with Heritage Malta, the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage, the Malta Environment and Planning Authority, and the Malta Tourism Authority, has prepared a draft brief for an International Competition for a Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra Heritage Park.
ICOMOS stated that whilst the report is a thorough piece of work, ICOMOS continues to have grave reservations about the impact on the two monuments. Although landfill operations are estimated to last only 2–3 years, they will require during that period the construction of new roads and other facilities will seriously degrade the setting of the monuments, both visually and audibly. Noxious emissions may also be anticipated, given the nature of the refuse likely to be dumped here, which would be unacceptable to the many tourists and other visitors to the sites. Heavy traffic is to be expected, and this could have a deleterious impact on the structural stability of the megalithic monuments, which have suffered in the past from operations at the now-disused quarries.
ICOMOS is conscious of the socio-economic pressures on the State Party that have occasioned this proposal. In its opinion, however, the cultural significance of the two megalithic monuments, as acknowledged by their inscription on the World Heritage List, and the adhesion of the Government of Malta to the World Heritage Convention, should be seen as reasons for abandoning the current project and finding an alternative site elsewhere.
The jury for the planned international competition for a heritage park in Malta mainly consists of architects. ICOMOS suggests that representatives from different disciplines, such as archaeology, conservation sciences, and structural engineering should be considered as members of the jury.
Analysis and Conclusion
Link to the decision
The World Heritage Committee, 1. Congratulates the Maltese Government for the exemplary way by which it consulted with all parties concerned with the proposal to build a landfill for domestic waste near the Megalithic Temples of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra and acknowledges with appreciation the quality of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA); 2. Welcomes the decision by the Maltese Government to build the proposed landfill at an alternative site; 3. Regrets that few improvements have taken place to increase the protection and interpretation of the site, which is still affected by illegal constructions and vandalism; 4. Notes the information on the "archeological park" project including the construction of shelters over two of the temples and urges the State Party to submit the details of the project to the World Heritage Centre at the latest by 1 February 2005, in accordance with paragraph 56 of the Operational Guidelines (2002); 5. Further urges the State Party not to commence any construction before consideration by the Committee; 6. Recommends that a management plan be developed for all the seven temples that form the property, and not only for the two being affected by the plans of the Heritage Park; 7. Requests the State Party to provide an updated report to the World Heritage Centre by 1 February 2005 on the project for a Heritage Park and the development of a management plan, in order that the World Heritage Committee can examine the state of conservation of the property at its 29th session in 2005.
Draft Decision:28 COM 15B.76
The World Heritage Committee,
1. Acknowledges with appreciation the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the landfills for domestic waste near the property submitted by the State Party;
2. Regrets that few improvements have taken place to increase the protection and interpretation of the site, which is still affected by illegal constructions and vandalism;
3. Expresses its concern about the potential negative impact of the proposed landfills on the outstanding universal value of the World Heritage property;
4. Urges the State Party to seek another location for the landfills, the utility of which is not disputed;
5. Recommends that a management plan be developed for all the seven temples that form the property, and not only for the two being affected by the plans of the Heritage Park;
6. Requests the State Party to provide an updated report to the World Heritage Centre by 1 February 2005 on the situation of the landfill and the project for a Heritage Park and the development of a management plan, in order that the World Heritage Committee can examine the state of conservation of the property at its 29th session in 2005.

5 Programming Tips to Add More Listeners
by Kipper McGee
Recently, Radio Ink editor Ed Ryan asked me to review a few survey results he received from the Fort Myers Radio listening area. A survey was sent out to about 2,000 Fort Myers residents. We wanted to know if they believed there was too much clutter on the Radio. While, it would have been awesome if all the responses were positive and supportive about our radio stations, it seems as if many listeners not satisfied with what we are doing. After each listener comment I've posted some detailed information on how stations can correct the problem.
Here are 5 ways to keep your listeners happy AND add more interest, ratings and revenue in 2011.
1.) Know your stations position...and promote it clearly.
One mom lamented Too much trash talk! It is nearly impossible to listen to radio with kids. I have stopped (listening) to music stations pretty much altogether for this reason. It´s all boobs, sex, shallow subjects, and generally speaking, trash. Obviously the station(s) referred to cannot be intended to provide a family friendly listening destination. Yet, one must question, does anyone own the family friendly position in her market? If so, how and where are they promoting it? Know who you are targeting. Create a product that will exceed their needs and wants. Then tell them you are providing this product, through simple, clever positioning and creative marketing. Stations who follow this plan will find it more difficult to fail.
2.) Dont waste your listeners time.
If radio as an industry invested as much time, effort and energy on creating valuable, targeted CONTENT as cutting CLUTTER, wed all be better off. One listener noted too much talking, and significantly, most of the time it is stupid things they are talking about. Clearly, the content is not well positioned for this listener. There is too much redundancy, another noted, ...announcing what they are GOING to do, what they are DOING, and then what they DID! Hitting a nerve noted by many who took the survey, another articulated this pet peeve, Long ads with a lot of repeated phone numbers.
3.) Watch the spot load and content.
By far, the number one complaint is too many commercials. In this new media world, broadcasters are foolish to ask where else are they (listeners) going to go? Savvy media consumers are only too happy to provide the answer, voting with their ears. As one respondent put it, I realize the need for the provider to increase cash flow by the means of commercials, but as usual the greedy bastards have created an overkill atmosphere. This can refer both to length of stopsets and total hourly commercial load. A 12-minute spot load = 20% of that hour. Are your commercials as well-conceived, written and produced as the rest of the hour? If not, fix them now. After all, effective commercial messages are the foundation of commercial radio.
4.) Embrace new distribution platforms.
Consumers are acutely aware of the many alternatives to traditional radio. You can always go to SiriusXM to get rid of commercials. observed one respondent. Ipods and streaming audio such as Pandora were also mentioned as increasingly popular options. Can it come as a surprise that smart advertisers are also finding alternative places to attract consumer attention as well? Smart broadcasters are finding that the evolving mediascape can work to their advantage when they embrace digital opportunities. From simple databasing, to secondary and tertiary streams, on-demand podcasting and vodcasting (video podcasting), text alerts and custom apps, stations are finding ways to provide targeted, tailored content without creating unwanted or unneeded intrusion into the broadcast day. Smarter broadcasters are learning how to sponsor these assets.
5.) Keep looking through the windshield, but be aware of the rear-view mirror.
To see where were going as an industry, it can be helpful to know where weve come from. One person noted Local radio has gone from the best form of personal entertainment to corporate sanitized notes on a ledger. Another commented sometimes I can drive all the way to work without hearing one song. Revenue challenges are nothing new to the industry. However, the opportunities ahead can far outweigh the challenges IF were smart enough to embrace them.

Schneider Offers Auto-Adjust Solution For Pack Size Changes
Published: October 25th, 2012
Schneider Packaging Equipment is debuting Pro-Adjust, a new add-on solution that automatically adjusts all types of machines when changing sizes or formats. The solution is being featured at Pack Expo 2012, McCormick Place, Chicago, October 28-31, Booth# 1228.
As manufacturers are faced with the increasing demand to produce more SKU's on existing equipment, the need to both improve line efficiency and reduce changeover time is paramount. The Pro-Adjust is designed to address the need for speed by providing a solution that can be added onto existing equipment, such as case packer, palletizer, or case loader to name a few, as a field retrofit or as an available low cost option on new equipment.
Pro-Adjust features an easy to use hand-held interface and quick connect power modules that makes installation, setup, and operation simple and quick. Pro-Adjust requires no programming and the easy to use interface simplifies SKU setup and operation. As product tolerances vary during normal production, the adjustment points can be easily adjusted either manually or through the interface.
"By automating adjustment points on a machine, changeovers are faster and more accurate, greatly enhancing machine uptime performance and overall equipment effectiveness," indicates Terry Zarnowski, director of sales and marketing. "Pro-adjust can be installed onto any machine, even if that machine is not made by Schneider."

Men's Tennis Squad Rallies Back in Singles at Southern Illinois
The Huskies defeated the Salukis, 4-3
CARBONDALE, Ill. – After dropping the doubles point, the Northern Illinois men's tennis team (12-5) rallied back in singles play Sunday afternoon at Southern Illinois (8-3) to defeat the Salukis, 4-3. The win was the Huskies fourth-consecutive triumph and was NIU's final non-conference match before a pair of Mid-American Conference showdowns with perennial championship contenders Ball State and Western Michigan.
"I'm just really proud of our guys. This team has great character and it showed today," said Head Coach Patrick Fisher. "We needed the bottom half of our lineup to step up and they did that. This team is very capable and today we stepped up. I think the guy's should see this as a step forward for us."
The Huskies and the Salukis were in a proverbial dog fight during doubles play with the teams keeping it close with each other. Both of NIU's doubles pairs fell 8-6 in the match, allowing Southern Illinois to take an early 1-0 lead.
After an intermission, the Huskies rallied back in singles with wins at the top and at the bottom of the lineup in straight sets. No. 1 Dor Amir battled Brandon Florez and defeated the Saluki, 7-6, 6-4, while Frederic Cadieux won at No. 2 versus Jorge Cavero, 6-4, 6-4.
Senior Max Phillips regained his form at No. 4 after rehab matches over spring break by defeating Rafael Cuadrillero, 6-4, 6-4, while Simon Formont defeated John Rigby, 6-3, 6-2, at No. 5. The Huskies improved to 12-5 with the win.
Northern Illinois will return to action Friday March 29 for a Mid-American Conference match versus Western Michigan. It will be the Huskies final home contest of the season and will likely be played Boylan Tennis Center due to inclement weather in DeKalb.
