3 medium size tomatoes, moderately diced
2 cups canned Garbanzo beans, drained
2 large cucumbers, scored, deseeded, and cut in half pieces
1/2 pound Baby Bella Mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/2 cup regular Italian Salad Dressing
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar as desired
Frank Davis Sprinkling Spice (or salt and black pepper)
1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
The most appetizing way to prepare this salad is on a large glass or silver platter. What you do is slice the tomatoes in half crosswise and "de-seed" them. Then with a very sharp knife cut them into bite-size diced pieces. When you're finished, place them decoratively around the outer edge of the platter.
Next take the drained garbanzo beans and form the next circle on the platter, this time inside the tomatoes but actually adjacent to them.
Now it's time to make another inner ring with the cucumbers. They should be placed immediately next to the beans.
Finally, the Baby Bella mushrooms go right in the center of the platter, closing in the circle.
All you do now is take either a blender (or a food processor), pour in both the bottled salad dressing, the olive oil, and Balsamic vinegar, turn on the blender (food processor), and "emulsify" the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. Then in a small stream, pour the concoction evenly and uniformly over the salad platter
The salad is ready to serve when you sprinkle it with the final seasoning and scatter on the green onions. By the way, I recommend you serve this salad only slightly chilled, not cold, to ensure that the olive oil does not congeal.

Beautiful accommodations. The deck, framed by willows, is a wonderful place to spend the evening. We fished off the dock every evening. Although the fish were small (big fish move into deep water in July), they were eager to bite, and catch and release is a fun evening activity. Although there are excellent restaurants in the area, we fixed our own two evenings using the large propane grill for salmon and steak. Kathy is very accommodating and helped us find all needed kitchen utensils. The rooms are tastefully decorated, and the relaxing sound of the water lapping at the lake edge can be heard from the bedroom windows. I don't know if there is a B&B breakfast competition at Keuka Lake, but if there was one, Kathy would win it. Amazing breakfasts. As a tea drinker, I also appreciated the electric tea kettle reserved for hot water (no coffee-flavored tea!) and the extensive tea collection. The large house and expansive deck area with separate conversation areas provide privacy for everyone so even with a full house, it doesn't feel crowded. The Willows also is a great launching point for day trips in the area and Kathy gives excellent tips for doing that. The views from the hilltops around the lake are absolutely spectacular. We could not have been more pleased with our stay.

I traveled to The Willows from April 11-14 of 2014. I was looking for the perfect place to escape the grind of NYC while at the same time surprising my girlfriend for her birthday. Upon our arrival to the Willows we were stunned by the natural beauty of the lake house and it's surroundings. Our host Kathy made us feel like we were visiting a relative or a favorite aunt. She made us feel so welcomed that we literally forgot we were staying at a B&B. The house and her energy made the place feel cozy and very warm. Our plans were to spend most of our time exploring the vineyards, but often found ourselves rushing back to the lake house to take advantage of the cozy rest inducing atmosphere of our room. Our room boasted to magnificent views of the lake. We were so close to the water that the subtle sounds of the lake splashing up against the house doc/deck were enough to lull you into the most soundest of slumbers. Every morning we woke up excited to see what wonderful breakfast surprise Kathy had in store. She is a fabulous cook and our only regret was that we only got to taste her breakfast spreads. I could only imagine what her dinners are like. Kathy's partner in crime he her husband Jim. Jim joined us for every breakfast and provided us with great stories about the lake house and history of the region. Jim is a lover of all things man cave. Great wine, scotch, hunting, cigars,sports and mob tales. Needless to say the conversations we always entertaining. They did a great job with suggestions on vineyards, restaurants and spas. I would highly recommend The Willows for anyone who is looking to enjoy a weekend of total peace and cozy tranquility.

My wife and I stayed at "The Willows" for our anniversary. Starting in the biginning we arrived at the B&B and was promptly greeted by Kathy and John. They were open and welcoming upon arrival. They were on their way out to dinner and asked us if we wanted to come along.... amazing pepole! We asked for suggestions for dinner we did end up eating at the same location (The Liberty in Pen Yan) where we had a great meal. The place is not fancy but the food is very good. Good place after a many hour drive. Coming back to the B&B we checked into our room (all of the rooms are very nice and clean). We stayed in tranquility and loved it. The evening was perfect and we walked down to the end of the dock and it was pure enjoyment. The next morning Kathy had breakfast ready at 8:30am and it was GREAT!!! She is a very good cook and John was certainly entertaining. For the remainder of the day we went wine tasting and enjoyed the area. The following morning another wonderful breakfast and some coffee on the water. THere is no downfalls of staying at "The Willows". Great people, very quiet, and amazing views. One thing to note is that they recently changes to a 4 digit number in the address and most GPS will not recognize this new address. When you make reservations speak to the hosts and have them give you the information you need.

What a great get away and friendly environment. We ate wonderful, creative breakfasts each morning on the porch overlooking beautiful Keuka lake. Kathy was informative and had very interesting historical facts and information about Keuka lake. We had opportunities to take a boat trip to local restaurants and paddled the kayak to enjoy and relax, as well as enjoy wine tasting close by. It was a wonderful get away and really enjoyed getting to meet new people. Can't wait to do it again.

Sorry I haven't written. We're visiting my sister in Utah and doing some skiing.
The Bois smiled on command for the first time and also rolled over from a flat surface on his own!
The skiing is beautiful. And somehow our family is managing to get along and actually have a pretty good time. The best part was my dad beating SR in a ski race.

Doumia - Sakinah activity report 2007Thursday 10 January 2008
All the versions of this article: [Deutsch] [English]
A brief summary of activities in the recent year
Holidays and Tradition
Once a week during the month of Ramadan, community members of all faiths put together a communal meal in the evening and dine together with those Muslims who break their fast. This year (like last year) we held these meals in the beautiful courtyard of the Spiritual Centre and we plan to continue to host this event in the coming years as well. Last year one of these meals coincided with breaking the fast of Yom Kippur, making the event even more special. Both last year and also this year Ramadan continued during the Jewish festival of Succoth.
On Succoth we invited the children of the Nadi – the village youth club – to build a succah where one of these communal meals was also held. The report from this year's Iftar in the Succah can be found here.
During much of the year, at the initiative of Shai and Dafna Schwartz we conducted weekly Kabbalat Shabbat ceremonies. The ceremony was held in the spirit of Jewish renewal, accompanied by music. At the first four meetings we invited Gavriel Meir to lead us in prayer and song. At each other meeting someone else gave a sermon or led discussion on a reading from the torah.
Commemoration Days
For the United Nations International day of peace on September 21 2007 , we invited one of the directors of the film "Encounter Point" to present her film. A short report can be found here.
On February 4th we hosted an evening commemorating the tenth anniversary of Tom Kitain's death. In this moving evening Daniela Kitain presented her book, or diary, "Dialogue with Foxes." A number of her friends read excerpts from the book. A video clip showing a televised interview with Tom was shown.
On February 8 we gathered in memory of Bruno Hussar. Anne le Meignen invited the community for an evening discussion and slide presentation. Many village members showed up including a generation of youths who do not remember Bruno.
On December 20 the Spiritual Centre hosted an all-night vigil in commemoration of the 12th century Sufi mystic Mevlana Jalaludin Rumi, with Sufi and Turkish music, organized by Tarekat Ibrahimi / Ruach Shalom.
Social and Political Issues
On March 29th, the evening before Land Day, we held the first of several meetings to discuss the document prepared by Palestinian Israelis on the future vision of Palestinian society in Israel. The document deals with the same issues that concern us in NS/WAS. Professor Aziz Haidar delivered a fascinating lecture on the subject to many guests and people from the community. A report of the evening can be found here.
In June we hosted Dr. Fernando Valdes. Dr. Valdes is a political psychologist from Mexico who shared with us fascinating accounts of his work helping guerrilla fighters channel their struggle through the civilian sector. We thank Ariela Bairey for arranging the visit.
In July filmmaker Ido Har brought to the Spiritual Centre his documentary film "Nine Star Hotel." Ido spent a winter with Palestinian construction workers who cross into Israel illegally spending days away from their families in order to find work building the Jewish city of Modi'in. Following their daily routine his film exposes some of the painful absurdities of the occupation as the Palestinians work for ridiculous wages during the day for the benefit of Israeli contractors and home owners alike and at night they stand on the look out against arrest by the border police. We thank Eitan Kremer for organizing the evening.
|The house of silence was repaired and decorated, thanks to funding from the Italian Friends of NSWAS
The Massa – Massar Youth Program
Last July, in cooperation with the Open House in Ramle and with the support of the Global Network of Religions for Children (GNRC), we conducted a six-day journey in the country for twenty-two Jewish and Arab youths – the latter including both Christians and Muslims. The group heard a wide variety of stories or narratives from different people about different parts of the country. The aim of the program was to give this Jewish–Arab group an opportunity to learn about each other through joint exploration of their common land and social reality. Travelling through the Galilee, Jerusalem and Jaffa they visited many places e.g. remains of Palestinian villages destroyed in 1948, the holocaust museum in Kibbutz Lohamei Hageta'ot and the Arab village of Peki'iin just to name a few. There is more on this program here. We hope to be able to repeat this program with a new group next summer.
Longterm programs
1. Interfaith study program "Dirasat"
This program, a series of seminars that invites Jews, Christians and Muslims to study their respective sacred texts together in an environment committed to political change and social transformation, began in November 2007. The first program will be conducted as a pilot with the intention to continue the program in future years. The program is developed together with Dr. Barbara Meyer and a multi-faith group of teachers. See a full report on the first two seminars.
2. Training in mediation in a multicultural context
This program, currently being developed, will be conducted in cooperation with "Wi'am"- (an Arab Jewish association for consensus building). We are currently engaged in publicizing the course and recruiting participants.
3. "Learning the art of mindfulness"
This is a program intended for Arabic speakers on the subject of mindfulness, as taught by Vietnamese peace activist and meditation teacher Thich Nhat Hanh.

Using data to drive learning outcomes isn't a new concept, really. For as long as teachers have been giving students assessments, the assessments and results have been used by both students and teachers (even if only loosely) to determine how to move forward. What needs to be reviewed more? What was covered/studied well?
Learning analytics takes this concept and kicks it up a notch. Well, more like a thousand notches, especially if you're considering things like adaptive computer based testing that changes as students use it.

It's almost February, and Roy Oswalt is a free agent and good, so it stands to reason that Roy Oswalt isn't going to wait that much longer before he decides on his next team. There have been reports that Oswalt would most like to sign with the Cardinals or the Rangers. The Cardinals and Rangers both presently have full starting rotations, but according to Jim Duquette, that might not be too big of an obstacle:
Source - Roy Oswalt and the #Cardinals are close to a deal. #RedSox and #Astros are also still in the mix.
Duquette later adds that the Rangers are still involved. What's most significant here, though, is that Oswalt might find a home in St. Louis. The Cardinals already have Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, Jaime Garcia, Kyle Lohse and Jake Westbrook, but you can bump a Jake Westbrook to make room for a Roy Oswalt. Doing so would give the Cardinals the possibility of having four aces. Ish.
Nothing's done. This rumor might not even be true. I don't know. I don't know Jim Duquette, and I don't know what Jim Duquette's source knows. But the Cardinals play close to Oswalt's home and they make sense once you get over the Westbrook thing, so we could see a signing before too long. Expect a one-year contract with a lower base than you'd think Roy Oswalt would deserve.

Thinking about a Car Lease? Things to Consider
Auto - Buying and Insurance
Thinking about a Car Lease? Things to Consider
The finances of car leases are somewhat convoluted, so it's hard to compare financing costs. The costs in some leases are loaded up front, while the costs of others are loaded on the back-end. Be sure to compare apples with apples.
Lease payments are typically lower than auto loans; however, you need to factor in the cost of owning nothing after your lease term expires.
Lease payments can be lowered by increasing the front-end costs or by increasing the residual value of the car, both of which can increase your overall costs.
A higher residual could cost you a bundle out-of-pocket if you get in an accident. The replacement cost your insurance company may be willing to pay may be much lower than the residual value.
If you drive more than 15,000 miles a year, the additional mileage could cost you as much as 15 cents a mile. Some leases allow you to "purchase" additional mileage. Either way it will increase your overall costs.

The European Commission's data protection findings
Today, a Google search is far more likely to provide you with the information you're looking for than it did a few years ago. This has not happened by accident. It is the result of our engineers painstakingly analysing the patterns in our server logs to improve the relevance of our searches. At the same time, we have developed privacy policies designed to give users choices over the information they share with us.
Against this backdrop, the European Commission's Article 29 Data Protection Working Party -- named after the rules they are monitoring –- has been conducting a lengthy inquiry into the question of online privacy. While the working party has welcomed our decision to anonymise data logs after 18 months as a positive privacy protective step, it suggested in findings released today that this period might still be too long.
We believe that data retention requirements have to take into account the need to provide quality products and services for users, like accurate search results, as well as system security and integrity concerns. We have recently discussed some of the many ways that using this data helps improve users' experience, from making our products safe, to preventing fraud, to building language models to improve search results. This perspective -- the ways in which data is used to improve consumers' experience on the web -- is unfortunately sometimes lacking in discussions about online privacy.
The Working Party's findings also stated that IP addresses should be treated as personal information, with the full weight of data protection laws. Based on our own analysis, we believe that whether or not an IP address is personal data depends on how the data is being used.
The findings are another important step in an ongoing dialogue about protecting user privacy online – a discussion in which Google will continue to be engaged. It's also a debate in which we hope our users will participate.

As for saving our search data, how does it help by knowing who it came from? And I do think there should be more protections for your IP address, and i think that goes for whoever is using them, not just your ISP.

Unfortunately, it is necessary to save all of the search data for longer than the EC suggests. It is used to protect against all kinds of unwanted traffic, such as click fraud and index dictionary attacks.

I know the data is useful to development, marketing and ad placement but why not just do what Ask.com has done and allow users to scrub their data? It would certainly address the EU concerns.

bearclaw has made the point here, which directly leads me into believing that there's AGAIN something else lurking behind these allegations about "better user experience" or whatever you call it in different situations. my suspicion is: all you want is our data, as much as you can get, if possible ALL data and you're going to store it FOREVER the purpose of it being to just HAVE it in case there's any idea what to do with it later. i don't trust google. if there's anything i can do to help stop this juggernaut, i will.

Personally I believe that the EU is looking for powder wherever there is money behind.
On one hand , it is true that Google and other Institutions keep lots of our information, ranging from IP, habits, e-mails, medical records, etc etc., but it is also true that this info is necessary to accomplish the user's goal of finding what they are looking for, as easy as it may be. Other objectives for having this info are possible, but we do not know specifically.
The EU has successfully tried to collect Billons from big American Companies. I believe that most part of the times their enormous economic requests go far beyond the EU 's consumers. It is also true that similar request to European companies are not very much known. Without going far back in time, the EU paid to a person, for stolen information regarding people's backing information. This attitude does not match their prayers.
On the other hand, each of us is constantly skimmed on what we do and were we go. Using the cell phone allows companies to know where we are and whom we call. Each Credit Card transaction is the same. Each time we pass customs, we are requested to place a finger, take a pictures etc. etc. An these requirements not only involve the EU, but the US too.
In short, what is the EU complaining, since every big institution y collecting our information !!!!!. and we the individuals can do anything in order to avoid it.

I don't understand like how Google stores information that identifies the individual and network address. If location is crucuial for searches, why can't Google store information as "city, country" instead of by IP address? My suspicion is that Google's stance on this issue is mainly based on protecting its advertising revenue - advertising clicks. By knowing the IP address Google can identify exactly who's "clicking" and help protect against fraud.
I think Google needs to only keep IP information on users who click, and not on peope who don't, like me :o)

For G to store city and country info, they first have to get it, which is not so easily determinable. IP addresses, generally speaking, map to registry information. A bit more work can give the location of a datacenter where the IP address (or block) may be served. But it is much more difficult to determine the actual location of the computing device that actually viewed a page or clicked on a link. Furthermore, that information would be very difficult to reliably and trustworthily communicate to G. For more information, see this geolocation paper.

why doesn't the EU give users the opportunity to have their data used for a longer period if that improves the quality of their searches?

We can contest the effectivity of the anonimization... Deleting the last numbers of the IP is not necessary sufficient when you still have 18 month of data including the full IP.
Another point is interresting. You said that the data were needed to garantuee the security of your network. it is true, but in France for example, you can not merge the treatments concerning security and direct marketing. This are 2 different ojectives which need 2 different treatments.

You wrote : "The Working Party's findings also stated that IP addresses should be treated as personal information, with the full weight of data protection laws"
Whereas n° 26 of the directive 95/46/CE says : "to determine whether a person is identifiable, account should be taken of all the means likely reasonably to be used either by the controller or by any other person to identify the said person"
The FAI for example is the "any other person to identify the said person".
Wheras are not liable for the states. So, in France, the 26th whereas has been introduce and the IP is a personal data. In england, we just look after the means used by the controller and not a third person, IP is not a personal.
This misunderstanding about the objet of law is not a good thing for google and for the clients.
In a decision C-101/2001, 6 nov. 2003, Lindqvist, JOCE 10 janv. 2004 C 7/3 the court says a telephone number is a personal data.... Very near form an IP ^_^
In the decision C275-06, 29 janv. 2008, Promusicae, JOCE 8 mars 2008, C 64/9 the court says the name and the IP are personal data... But the real question is for the IP alone, and on the court did not answer.
If IP is finally qualify as a personal data, new specific regulations should be voted to reduce the heavy consequences of that interpretation.

For example, in China the state use those data for politic repression. Google or the other internet giants can not refuse if the law of the country says they should transmit the data. In europe, a lot persons died during the 2nd WW because of the use of the personal data collected by ste states.

It is nonsense when google states IP addresses of searches are to be stored in order to prevent click-fraud. Worst thing is that they labelled it fraud but it is not: If the google site involves people not being allowed to click on arbitrary links any number of times, it ought to say so that this is forbidden.
google itself created the possibility to "misuse" its own advertisement system and then uses this to claim exemption from the law! Nobody granted google this right either, they just took it! It sounds to me like building a road which is connected to the public with no signs on it that one is not to travel on it.
Of course, google is perfectly able to fix the problem, but at a cost, namely, to annoy users that they surrender their right to privacy any time they steer to the google site. It is this price that google doesn't want to incur...
If you would ask me google has to abide by the privacy laws which existed in Europe long before it existed. If google wants to be exempt from the law, we need real reasons to do so. That's true for any company. It is time that google becomes a responsible company and comes to terms with the deficiencies of its own technology.

Hello guys,
Well this week I had an interest in the Imaging(Obviously), and I have a small little question regarding the Manual Focus on the camera, is there a way to change the range of the Focus ? like giving him a "value" between 0-100?
After searching I only found that we can give it a "rectangle" to focus on (I hope that I did not search well)
this is what I want to do for example let suppose [+] is our camera:
given a value of 10 it will focus the nearest object
[+]----> Object1
a value of 40
a value of 90
(I know that there is a Wiki article participating in the competition which shows how to focus manualy, but isn't there something ready to use in the API ?)
Thank you !

Steve Sarkisian's decision to have Washington follow the trend of playing offense as fast as possible can be traced somewhat to what happened last year in Tucson.
Arizona didn't just blow out the Huskies in a 52-17 thumping. Washington experienced firsthand just how physically exhausting it can be trying to keep up with skilled playmakers in a high-tempo offense.
Get ready for a dizzying pace come Saturday afternoon when the 16th-ranked Huskies (3-0) host Arizona (3-0) in the Pac-12 opener for both schools. It's a matchup of two of the fastest-paced teams, two of the best running backs in the country and two programs trying to validate unbeaten starts.
Washington has not started 4-0 since 2001.

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- fever, sore throat, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash;
- fussiness, irritability, crying for an hour or longer;
- fast or pounding heartbeats; or
- easy bruising or bleeding.
Less serious side effects include:
- redness, pain, swelling, or a lump where the shot was given;
- headache, dizziness;
- low fever;
- joint pain, body aches;
- tired feeling; or
- nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

What is Prescribing information?
The FDA package insert formatted in easy-to-find categories for health professionals and clinicians.
Recombivax FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
RECOMBIVAX (hepatitis b vaccine (recombinant)) HB and RECOMBIVAX (hepatitis b vaccine (recombinant)) HB Dialysis Formulation are generally well-tolerated. No adverse experiences were reported during clinical trials which could be related to changes in the titers of antibodies to yeast. As with any vaccine, there is the possibility that broad use of the vaccine could reveal adverse reactions not observed in clinical trials.
In three clinical studies, 434 doses of RECOMBIVAX (hepatitis b vaccine (recombinant)) HB, 5 mcg, were administered to 147 healthy infants and children (up to 10 years of age) who were monitored for 5 days after each dose. Injection site reactions and systemic complaints were reported following 0.2% and 10.4% of the injections, respectively. The most frequently reported systemic adverse reactions ( > 1% injections), in decreasing order of frequency, were irritability, fever ( ≥ 101°F oral equivalent), diarrhea, fatigue/weakness, diminished appetite, and rhinitis.10
In a study that compared the three-dose regimen (5 mcg) with the two-dose regimen (10 mcg) of RECOMBIVAX (hepatitis b vaccine (recombinant)) HB in adolescents, the overall frequency of adverse reactions was generally similar.
In a group of studies, 3258 doses of RECOMBIVAX (hepatitis b vaccine (recombinant)) HB, 10 mcg, were administered to 1252 healthy adults who were monitored for 5 days after each dose. Injection site reactions and systemic complaints were reported following 17% and 15% of the injections, respectively. The following adverse reactions were reported:
Incidence Equal To or Greater Than 1% of Injections
Injection site reactions consisting principally of soreness, and including pain, tenderness, pruritus, erythema, ecchymosis, swelling, warmth, and nodule formation.
The most frequent systemic complaints include fatigue/weakness; headache; fever ( ≥ 100°F); and malaise.

DANVILLE — Economic development is an important factor for candidates running for three Vermilion County Board seats in District 6.
Incumbent Republicans John Alexander and Robert Fox are running for the board seats, as well as fellow party member Dennis Miller and Democratic candidate Michael Puhr.
Alexander and Puhr see the county's future locked in what development can be brought within its borders.
"Job creation and business development are targets for our county, whose success relies on governments, businesses and citizens all doing their part and coordinating efforts," Alexander said.
"The best way to keep Vermilion County financially stable and hold the line on taxes is through economic development, be it industrial, commercial or retail," Puhr indicated. "This will benefit everyone in the county with a larger tax base from which to draw, increased total assessed valuations and, of course, jobs."
Fiscal responsibility is the key, however, for Miller and Fox.
"It is crucial to maintain a county budget that is fiscally conservative," Miller said. "Every day the citizens of our community are asked to live within a tight budget and I feel as though this should be no different for county government."
For Fox, the county should keep the same fiscal responsibility "with each department within the county jurisdiction."
County Board District 6 covers most of the northern side of Danville as well as a portion of Newell Township.
Current District 6 board member Craig Chambers opted not to run for re-election to the board.
Candidates for the district each have different views on what other issues deserve attention by the county board members. For Miller, crime is in the crosshairs for his district and county residents.
"The other key issue I feel is important for County Board District 6 is to work to lower crime and keep our communities safe," he said. "This can be accomplished by working with our public safety offices to ensure they have the proper means to combat crime."
Taxes for the residents in his district are a top priority for Fox.
"The people in my district pay more real estate tax than a couple of the other districts combined," he said, adding he wants to keep the tax as low as possible.
"I also pay a lot of real estate taxes and think about the taxpayer every time I have voted on county board issues," Fox said.
Alexander sees the need for the county to maximize resources through partnerships with both private and public entities.
"Adjusting and prioritizing our county services is a continuous challenge," he said.
Puhr specifically applauded the work between city and county officials to merge their respective animal regulation operations.
"However, at this time I have some concerns with the upfront costs, employee costs, maintenance costs and fundraising which must happen continually," he said.

|Section III-3: Employee Benefits and Retirement
|Employee Assistance Program
|Supplemental Retirement Plans
|Fair Labor Standards Act
|Section 125 Flexible Benefits Plan (Cafeteria Plan)
|Tax-Deferred Annuity
|Insurance Benefits
|Special Offers and Discounts
|Workers' Compensation
|Longevity Pay
|State Employees' Credit Union
|Other Benefits
|National College Savings Program (529 Plan)
|Employee Assistance Program
The Employee Assistance Program is a professional, confidential counseling service available to assist employees and their immediate family members in esolving personal issues and problems before they affect health, family relationships, and/or job performance.
Durham Technical Community College recognizes that a wide range of personal problems can affect an employee's job performance. Examples of such personal problems include alcohol and/or drug dependence, marital or family stresses, or any problems that cause emotional distress. These problems may result in deterioration of job efficiency. In most instances, the employee will overcome such personal problems independently and the effect on job performance will be negligible. In some instances, normal supervisory assistance will serve either as motivation or guidance by which such problems can be resolved so the employee's job performance will return to an acceptable level. In some cases, however, neither the efforts of the employee nor supervisor have the desired effect on resolving the employee's problems. In addition, unsatisfactory performance may persist over a period of time, either consistently or intermittently.
The intent of the Employee Assistance Program is to help the employee overcome the problem so that job performance meets expectations. The program is designed to identify the problem at the earliest possible stage, motivate the employee to seek help, and direct the employee to appropriate assistance.
Durham Technical Community College believes it is in the interest of the employee, the employee's family, and the educational institution to provide a service which deals with such persistent problems. For the Employee Assistance Program to be successful, the following must be acknowledged or implemented:
Full-time and continuing part-time employees may use the Employee Assistance Program on a self-referral basis by calling the Employee Assistance Program Counselor directly or by contacting their Supervisor. When an employee's job performance begins to decline, the Supervisor and/or Department Head will:
To contact the Employee Assistance Program Counselor, call 1-800-435-1986. This call and Employee Assistance Program visits are confidential. Numbers of college employees and family members using the services are reported annually to the Human Resources Department for determining continuation of this benefit.
|Fair Labor Standards Act
|See Time-Off Plan for Overtime Compensation in Section III-4 of this Employee Handbook.
|Insurance Benefits
|Durham Technical Community College provides several insurance plans
and voluntary supplemental plans for full-time employees. The college
also provides medical, dental, and life insurance for full-time employees.
Only medical coverage and dental coverage are provided for continuing
part-time employees. Employees must enroll within
30 days of their starting date in order to be eligible to participate
in any insurance benefits Durham Tech provides. All insurance
becomes effective on the first day of the month after the employee receives
his/her first paycheck. There is no waiting period for the employee's
dependents if they are enrolled within the first 30 days of employment.
For enrollment after the first 30 days of employment, refer to the insurance
provider's handbook or contact the Accounting and Payroll Services Director
in the Business Office.
Various insurance plans are available as follows:
|Longevity Pay
Regular contract full-time employees and continuing part-time employees
working 30 hours or more per week are eligible for longevity pay after
the date the employee has completed 10 years of aggregate service to
the State of North Carolina. Prior State of North Carolina service may
count toward calculation of longevity for pay purposes if necessary
records are provided by the employee at the time of employment.
Annual payment is made in a lump sum, subject to all statutory deductions, during the monthly pay period in which the employee has satisfied all eligibility requirements.
|National College Savings Program (529 Plan)
|Full-time and continuing part-time employees are eligible to participate in the National College Savings Program. The National College Program, which is officially known as the North Carolina Savings and Investment Program, has been established by the State Education Assistance Authority, a political subdivision of the State of North Carolina, to enable residents of any state to invest funds to pay the qualified higher education expenses of their designated beneficiaries on a flexible basis that achieves certain tax savings in accordance with federal tax law and North Carolina law. As part of the program, the General Assembly has established the Parental Savings Trust Fund of which the Authority is trustee, to hold all assets of the program. The Trust Fund assets are not the property of the State of North Carolina.
Full-time employees and continuing part-time employees working 30 hours or more per week are enrolled in the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System, and 6 percent is deducted monthly from all wages earned to contribute to this retirement benefit. The state contributes a percentage of all wages paid as the employer's contribution to the employee's retirement account.
As of July 1, 1982, employees' contributions were placed into a State employee tax-sheltered annuity account. These contributions are deferred from State and Federal income taxes until the employee retires or withdraws the funds.
For additional retirement information, see "Separation from the College" and "Re-Employment of Retired Persons" in this Employee Handbook.
|Section 125 Flexible Benefits Plan (Cafeteria Plan)
|The Flexible Benefits Plan allows employees to elect (by estimating expected expenses) the amount of out-of-pocket medical and/or dependent/child care expenses they anticipate incurring during the annual benefit period. The law allows for that same amount of income not to be taxed. The portion elected for eligible expenses is set aside each pay period and later reimbursed when the expense is incurred (available to full-time employees and continuing part-time employees working 30 hours or more per week).
|Special Offers and Discounts
Some restaurants, stores, and businesses give discounts, coupons, or special offers to state and local government public employees.
|State Employee's Credit Union
|Employees are eligible to join the State Employees' Credit Union. The credit union is a cooperative savings and loan association organized to promote thrift among its members and to provide a source of credit for worthwhile purposes at the least possible cost. Banking services include but may not be limited to savings, checking, loans, and direct payroll deposit. Financial advisement is also available. Contact the Accounting and Payroll Services Department in the Business Office for information.
|Tax-Deferred Annuity Plans (Supplemental Retirement Plans)
|Tax-deferred annuity programs are available to full-time and continuing part-time employees. Under these programs, the employee designates specific salary funds to be deposited in an annuity fund. These funds are deferred from taxes until the employee retires or withdraws the funds. These additional funds at retirement may serve to supplement an employee's retirement income. Contact the Business Manager about voluntary programs under section 403-B and 401-K of the federal tax code.
|Workers' Compensation
|All employees are covered through the North Carolina Workers' Compensation Insurance. Liability under Workers' Compensation applies to on-the-job injuries or death caused by an accident arising in the course of employment. In case of an accident covered through Workers' Compensation Insurance, individuals may obtain the necessary forms to report such accidents from the Business Office located in the White Building.
|Other Benefits
|Also see a variety of additional benefits and educational opportunities detailed in Section III-5 "Professional Development."

About INFINITI
Infiniti is the luxury car brand created in 1989 by Nissan for the North American market. Since entering the US, the brand has been exported to 15 other countries including Mexico, the Middle East, Russia and China. Initially the brand was not successful and faced closure by 2000 as Nissan, the parent also struggled. Nissan entered into a cross-sharing deal with French giant, Renault who effectively took Nissan over and reinvigorated the Nissan brands including Infiniti. Infiniti commenced marketing and sales operations in Europe in 2008 as part of a further reorganization of operations since Nissan was acquired by Renault.
Infiniti models are based on Nissan platforms with the center of the engine placed immediately behind the front wheels to provide even weight distribution and improve acceleration, braking and handling characteristics. The model range includes sedans and coupes (including sports models) and the QX56 which is the flagship SUV model of the range. The CEO of Renault and Nissan, Carlos Ghosn has stated his objective is to break Infiniti away from the Nissan brand and operate the company as an independent luxury car maker.

Get Your Toddler Ready For His First Haircut
Advance Planning To Make Your Toddler's First Haircut Go Smooth
At some point during your child's second year, it'll be time to trim those sweet baby locks. The occasion might be marked with a tear or two from you, as you realize your baby -- who's now sporting a new 'do -- looks all grown up. To avoid tears or tantrums from your tot, consider that a little advance planning goes a long way.
Tips for a Tears-Free Haircut
- If you can, go to a hair salon that caters to kids -- sitting on a toy horse or in a sporty red race car is an excellent way to distract your little one from the scissors that will be snipping away at his hair.
- If you opt for a general salon or barber, be sure to schedule the appointment with a stylist who has experience cutting children's hair. You need someone who's going to go out of her way to make your child feel comfortable and safe. At a regular salon, your child will need to sit in a booster chair. If she refuses to sit in the "scary chair" -- ask the stylist if she'd mind if your child sat on your lap instead.
- Remember, timing is everything. Sitting still in a chair for 10 to 15 minutes is a huge task for a toddler -- and one she'll handle it much better if she's had a good nap and has a full tummy.
- If you can, swing by the salon before the actual date to acquaint your toddler with the setting. If it's not feasible, play beauty salon or barber shop at home -- sit her in her high chair, spritz her hair with a water bottle, and pretend you're cutting her hair while you hold a scissor. Don't forget to tell her how beautiful she looks with her new haircut!
- Come armed with distractions. A little satchel full of toy figurines brought from home might be just enough to keep her happy and preoccupied. And, of course, you can't overlook the amazing calming powers of a simple tiny lollipop -- so be sure to pack one of these as well. (If you're lucky the salon will have their own stash of toys and lollipops you can take advantage of for the next haircut.)

Question of the Week
How long does it take you to get down to work after you arrive at your office?
Posted May 8, 2013 11:42 AM CDT
By Sarah Mui
It's a situation familiar to many: Once you've sampled the baked goods brought in by a co-worker, jumped into a conversation with some other co-workers, sorted through dozens of worthless emails and perhaps (bless your heart) taken your first look of the day through ABAJournal.com, you look at the clock and see that it's a bit later than you thought.
So this week, we'd like to ask you: From the time you get into your office, how long does it take before you get down to work? And fess up to your primary distractions: Snacking? Office chatter? Checking out the latest on Web tabloids? Please also share if you've had bad habits and managed to break or otherwise compensate for them.
Answer in the comments.
Read the answers to last week's question: How much caffeine do you need to get through a workday?
Featured answer:
Posted by Great Question: One (1) Pot: "Geez, a bunch of lightweights. I generally drink one (1) full pot myself. I am embarrassed to admit this because the amount is so high, but I spend a lot of money at Dunkin' Donuts. I mean, a real lot. A real, real lot. It is terrible. I tried to stop coffee cold, obviously that lasted about a day—half a day."
