Question: Why Do My Toes Go Numb When Walking?
Question: My toes go numb when walking on the treadmill for 45 minutes. I don't have toe numbness when I go shopping for 45 minutes, so what could be the problem?
Answer: Toes go numb from reduced blood circulation or from nerve damage. If your toes feel numb only during sustained walking, then first try to rule out the most obvious cause - your shoes. Are your shoes are too tight or too short and that is restricting the circulation and making the toes go numb? Even if you think your shoes are big enough, your foot may be sliding forward in them with each step to cause this problem.
Are Your Shoes Too Tight?Your feet swell during sustained walking, as much as a full shoe size. Your walking shoes should be a size larger than your dress shoes, or even larger. Your shoes also need a wide-enough toe box to allow your foot to swell for width as well as length. If either the length of the shoe or the width is too small or too narrow, you may be cutting off blood flow to your toes or impinging on nerves.
Choosing the Right Shoes
Lacing Your Shoes to Prevent Foot NumbnessGive your toes enough room in the toe box by lacing them so that the shoelaces at the toe end of the shoe are loose to allow for expansion. Use various lacing techniques so that you can tighten the fit at the ankle without tightening it at the toe. You want a tight lacing at the ankle so your foot stays in the heel of the shoe and doesn't slide forward with each step. That cuts off toe circulation and can traumatize your toes. You can do this using a lace lock lacing trick, or by using two sets of laces per shoe - one for the toe end, one for the ankle end.
Shoe Lacing to Fit
Your StrideMany walkers curl their toes under when they walk, which not only traumatizes the toes, but also doesn't let your foot flatten out as you roll through a step. Others walk with a tense "toes up" position. Pay attention to what you are doing with your toes and try to relax them and let them flatten out with each step rather than holding them up or curling them under. Your foot should roll through the step, heel striking first, rolling through, and then pushing off with the toes.
Medical Conditions Causing Numb ToesNumb toes can be an important symptom even if it clears up with changes to your shoes and lacing. Discuss this with your doctor at your next check-up even if it goes away. If your toe numbness continues after making changes to your shoe fit and lacing, make an appointment for a check-up and discuss this with your doctor.
Diabetic Neuropathy: If you have diabetes, discuss toe numbness with your doctor immediately.
- Peripheral Neuropathy: Many conditions can lead to peripheral neuropathy and toe numbness.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - What would you do if you lost your job today? Unfortunately, it's a reality more and more families have to face. From December to January Lubbock's unemployment rate rose almost a full point from 3.8% to 4.7%. Lubbock's unemployment rate is still lower than the state and national rates, but statistics don't mean much when it affects you or a loved one personally. Losing your job is a tough thing, but here are some tips that might make it a bit easier.
Audra Ellis's new office is the career room at Workforce Solutions of the South Plains. For the past two months finding a job is her job after she was laid off from her position as a graphic designer. "The first thought is a little bit of terror. You don't really know what to do. After that, it's starting a list of what you need to get ready and need to get going so you can start looking for a new job," said Ellis.
Workforce Solutions says in the past six months they've seen an increase in the number of people who need their services. Their weekly job seeking seminars attendance more than doubled with people who find themselves in the same position as Ellis. Workforce of the South Plains says it's important to prepare for a lay-off before it hits. Have your resume updated and ready to send out at all times, and keep up your professional network up so you have people to go to for possible job openings.
It's also important to prepare financially. Myra McNeil, who leads seminars for job seekers, recommends saving 3 to 6 months worth of bills to keep yourself going. "Save money, and that's hard to do these days, but we really need a cushion," McNeil said.
Ellis says the most helpful thing she's done is stay on a schedule and use her free time productively. "I get up, get ready like I normally would if I was going to work or something, and then I'll sit at the computer and I'll go through the Workforce website and some other job search sites and just try to find what I can," she said.
Ellis is confident if she continues to be persistent the right job will come along. "Our number one service is to provide hope, because hope and encouragement I think are the most important things for job seekers," said McNeil.
Workforce Solutions of the South Plains holds a free seminar for job seekers every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Also, there is a job fair on April 8th from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Civic Center.

When I awoke at seven a.m., I thought, Why am I voluntarily getting up at seven on a Sunday morning? I had to get up because my ride was coming in 30 minutes. We drove to school where we met 15 other girls and took the train into Boston, Massachusetts, a 45-minute ride, where we joined thousands of familiar and not-so-familiar faces from various other schools and organizations.
We were all taking part in Servathon, part of City Year, an organization that sets up day-long projects as part of an effort to improve our cities and towns. Projects include helping out at soup kitchens, painting buildings, and helping people recover from floods, just to name a few.
Each group has an assignment. My group's was to aid the Red Cross in flood relief in Roslindale. Our job was to help people with damage from a recent flood. Each group of five was assigned to a street. We were to go door-to-door and ask people if they needed any help. Some people spoke Spanish, so they didn't understand us. Others didn't want help, but some people did need and want our help, so we helped them. Our duties included carrying saturated furniture out to the street and loading the damaged items into large dump trucks.
Our experience on one street was especially touching, and we spent much of our afternoon there. We threw out years of people's belongings - letters, pictures, old books, children's toys, tables, lamps, that had been damaged by the flood. What was even sadder was that things like pictures, letters and books are irreplaceable memories.
During the day I learned how unfortunate it is to lose everything. I also realized how lucky I am that I have never had to face the devastation of a tragedy like this one.
After the day, I arrived home glad that I participated in City Year and I that I was able to make a difference by helping people in need. I would definitely participate in a similar event again, and I would recommend this project to anyone who wants to make a difference in their community. fl

Prosecutors said Wednesday they will seek the death penalty for the man accused in a shooting and crash on the Las Vegas Strip that killed three people.
Ammar Harris is charged with three counts of murder in connection with the Feb. 21 shooting that killed Kenneth "Kenny Clutch" Cherry. Cherry's vehicle then crashed into a taxi, which burst into flames, killing cab driver Michael Boldon and passenger Sandra Sutton-Wasmund.
Harris, who police said fled the scene, was arrested in North Hollywood, CA, a week after the shooting.
Harris had charges dropped in Las Vegas Justice Court on April 29 after a grand jury indicted the 27-year-old on charges in the shooting.
On Tuesday, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson announced he will file a notice of intent to seek the death penalty for Harris.
Harris has asked for a public defender.

A once in a lifetime opportunity - grab it.
I've recently been contacted by the makers of a new prime time makeover show who are looking for busy women in their 30's and 40's who don't seem to have any "me" time (boy does that sound familiar or what) and who would like a completely new look.
This really is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience a dream makeover, with the assistance of their team of high profile experts who have worked with top name celebrities, including Angelina Jolie, Keira Knightley and Daisy Lowe. On offer will be top non-surgical procedures, hair, makeup, styling advice and cosmetic dentistry.
Here is the slightly tricky but not insurmountable surely, bit - you must be available for filming from the 12th to the 15th of October inclusive, in London.
Now I get countless comments and emails from lovely ladies who are so keen to get out of the slight rut they've fallen into fashion wise so I know that there are some of you out there to which this would be a dream come true. Imagine a head to toe full body makeover? How utterly tempting does that sound? Please please can some of you move heaven and earth to be available for that week? You will be in the care of the most wonderful team of experts - it just sounds beyond amazing to me.
If you would like further information (and don't hesitate to ask anything, regardless of how trivial you think it may be) or would like to apply for the show (go on go on!!!) please email firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com
They'll need one close head and shoulders shot of you looking like your 'day to day' self, a full body shot in tight clothing so they can see your figure and also a photograph where you feel that you look your very best! Please could you also include your reasons for wishing to apply and a little bit about yourself.
Time is of the essence here so there is no time to worry about whether or not it's a good idea - it IS a good idea, it's an excellent idea and you've got nothing to lose.
Please let me know if you've applied or email me at email@example.com if you have any questions you'd like to ask and don't want to ask directly.
This really is such a great opportunity - take the bull by the horns and do something for you. Without wishing to sound like a naff shampoo advert - you're worth it. Boom boom!
Very quickly as I want to get the above info out there as soon as possible and I have a PTA meeting to go to tonight. Oh the glamour. Dear god, please let there be wine.
I've had a couple of emails asking if I know of an alternative to the Ash Jalouse boot. There is a Clarks one kicking around which, I know (S, you know who are!) some people like and you can guarantee that it would be super comfy. But I came across this one from Oasis last night which definitely is the best I've come across.
The Willow Western Boot £68 from Oasis
And here is the original - available all over the place for £145. Light tan suede in the winter for that price. Erm. Not for me.
On my boot quest (oh the annual yawnathon of my boot quest) I have discounted (for the minute clearly - fully expect me to have changed my mind by next week) the divine Ash multicoloured suede wedges in plum, taupe and black. With the recent deluge of rain, the reality of a winter boot that I can't actually wear in any vaguely inclement weather, struck me as being moronic. To be fair, were it cheaper, it wouldn't concern me, but for nearly £200 - hell no. The sensible shopping fairy (darn her) had a swift word.
So I'm back on the boot search. Daytime chestnut ankle boots and night out black ones are on the must have list. Must have - can't find (that I can afford). If anyone is remotely interested I will report back.
Now a quick round up of what I've been wearing
Friday - that long ago, can't even remember what I did. Am still doing lunchtime pick ups for smallest rugrat so it really can't have been that exciting.

Navy blazer - Zara
Gold bee necklace - Alex Monroe
Gold serpent necklace - Stella & Dot
Oversized stone bracelet - Massimo Dutti
Tan Rockafella boots - Russell & Bromley

Blush jersey and silk top - Phase Eight
Camel Kirsten jeans - TopShop
Apricot tassel scarf - Mint Velvet
Tan Cypress boots - Acne

Gold metallic jumper - St Tropez (from a local Danish boutique - it's a Danish brand)
Khaki zip skinnies - By Malene Birger
Oversized stone bracelet - Massimo Dutti

errrr no! I don't personally feel that I'm stuck in a rut with my clothes and am obnoxiously confident enough in how I dress to post my ugly mug on a blog for the world and his dog to have a giggle at so sort of defeats the point of the makeover. Were they to do a house version though, I'd sign up like a shot!Delete

Oh you are very sweet, thank you. I'd also struggle leaving the kids to be fair - it's a valid point. Some lucky people do have armfulls of family on tap though don't they (not me I hasten to add!)Delete
Can you wear the Oasis boots with a skirt, i.e. how big are they around the ankle, I have tried on quite a few that make you look like you have chicken legs sticking up out of the boots, if you know what I mean?ReplyDeleteReplies
I think you definitely can. It's a case of finding ones that aren't super wide on you - which will depend on either a) the width of the boots and or b) the width of your legs!! They don't have to be super fitted though but yes, you don't want a cotton bud in a beaker effect. Can't comment on the Oasis Jalouse style ones as I haven't seen them irl and also don't know how narrow your legs are!Delete
TIs a question of trying them on unfortunately. Good luck!

I'm intriged as to why you're so keen for a blogger to take part in the programme. Are you involved in this too somehow, if so, wow! T.V. how exciting for you.ReplyDeleteReplies

If you've been asked to become involved in this TV prog then that's great and a good branch out from the blog (am sure i saw somewhere you are a wardrobe consultant?). However if you've merely been approached by a production co to do their advertising then that is really a downhill turn for your blog, you don't need to do that and despite being an avid fan it's quite off putting. If you could just remove the first half of this post and start at the boots bit its far more readable. I think that this is a good guide to how well dressed mums look with a lean towards current styles and many of us have similar items in the wardrobe and like to see how you put the outfits together. That's your forte and the little snippets of everyday family life really humanise it. Not the recruiting.ReplyDeleteReplies
Apologies for the post not being to your liking. It's not something that I have done or plan to do often at all.Delete
I get countless emails from people saying that they are stuck in a rut and how much my blog has helped them and how they've started on the road to a new them. I thought that this, as I've said in other replies, would be a fantastic opportunity to get the ball rolling swiftly and would be of interest to a number of my readers.
As i've already said, I personally would be beyond keen to do something house related of a similar vein and would be most interested in hearing about an opportunity on a blog.
I don't personally see it as doing the advertising for a production company but see the flip side of it being a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants a new them.
Once again apologies that it wasn't to your liking. Hope you're happier with what I've done since! xxx

Wow...if this doesn't interest some of you just don't do it, whats with the slightly bitchy undertone to some of the comments? Its only somebodies style blog about what she wears - nothing more.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you xxxxDelete
I see absolutely nothing wrong with your post and 'helping' the TV company find participants for the programme. If people want to apply they can and if not, fair enough. I'm sure many of your readers would be delighted to be involved in the programme and, regardless of you advertising for the company or not, find the post by 'Anonymous' rather mean-spirited and po-facedReplyDelete
Don't let comments like this get to you (maybe you haven't?) and carry on with the marvellous blogReplies
Agreed. Normally production companies recruit via ads in the back of the Sun or Radio Times so we should actually applaud both them for trying to reach people who are genuinely interested in fashion (but are possibly a bit lost post kids and pre-menopause :) ). And thanks to Kat for passing on the message. TV's not my cup of tea, but I'm sure others will jump at the chance for an overhaul.Delete
Thank you both xxxxDelete

A few months ago I would have jumped at the chance for a makeover. After the birth of my second child I totally lost my sense of style, wore loungewear constantly and barely bothered with brushing my hair! Since lurking on here I have become excited about shopping again and have started building a capsule wardrobe and trying new trends. You and I are of simiilar build and hairstyle so if I think something looks great on you it encourages me to have a go. You are definitely are not in need of a makeover (what a rude comment!) and thanks to you I no longer feel I am. Keep inspiring us and thanks for sharing the details of the tv show - it will be one to watch! XxReplyDeleteReplies

Ooof, well my tuppence is that I do like your blog but that first bit jars a bit on your usual blogging style and comes across as being a bit manic.ReplyDelete
If there is any kind of deal going on between yourself and the producers of this show, then I think it's only courteous to mention it to your blogging public.
I don't think anyone's being bitchy, surely we're all grown up enough to offer measured opinions?Replies
- Anonymous1 October 2012 09:36
Agree. Can't see any bitchy remarks here at all. Not my kinda thing but good luck to anyone who goes for it! CxxDelete
Oh I wasn't remotely offended in the slightest in any of the comments - jaysus, if you put your life on a blog then it's probably advisable to have rhino style skin, which I do have. I agree, I don't think they were bitchy and I do appreciate the feedback.Delete
I was merely exceptionally excited by the opportunity for someone - as I've said before, if it were house related, I would be beyond hysterical and would be signing up as fast as my bony fingers could muster.
There is absolutely no deal whatsoever going on between myself and the show hence I didn't mention it.
It does seem that it was of interest to a number of people so I did accomplish what I set out to achieve, despite perhaps alienating a couple of readers along the way. So my apologies and hoping you're enjoying normal service being resumed xxx

I really enjoy your blog , and look forward to your updates, you've given me hope that at 42 I can find a style (yours!) on the high street that doesn't make me look like mutton dressed as lamb. I love that you point me in the right direction and give me focus on an area of my life that easily overlooked because as a working mum I don't always have the time to trawl round shops looking for outfits and could spend a fortune on magazines and still not find an outfit that would be suitable for my lifestyle and age. You have bridged that gap for me and I also love your sense of humour. Don't ever give up,ReplyDelete
Anyway Ive sent in my photos in for the makeover and they asked for some more details so Im keeping my fingers crossed that I will be having a makeover next week. I will keep you posted.
Keep up the good work.

Police: drive-by didn't happenJanuary 12,2013MANCHESTER — Police said Friday that a man who claimed to be the victim of a drive-by shooting had actually shot himself.
Manchester Police said their investigation determined that Donald Ely-Gardner's wound was self-inflicted and that "his intentions were to injure himself."
A friend brought Ely-Gardner, 27, to the Manchester Police Department on New Year's Eve with a chest wound that appeared to be caused by a small-caliber handgun, according to police.

A Thibodaux man was arrested Tuesday after robbing a Raceland convenience store of about $200 cash, two packs of cigarettes and gum, Lafourche Sheriff's Office said.
Derrek Delcambre, 33, 105 Lilac St., is accused of using a handgun to rob Cheap Smokes, 4559 La. 1, shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday, deputies said.
Deputies said they apprehended him in a nearby residential neighborhood after a short foot pursuit. He was found to have $187 in cash, a pack of cigarettes and gum in his possession. The second pack of cigarettes and the handgun were located just north of the convenience store.
Detectives later learned the Delcambre used about $30 of the stolen cash at a video poker machine at a nearby casino.
He was initially transported to the Criminal Operations Center in Lockport for questioning, deputies said. At one point he stood up, grabbed the cash he got in the robbery and attempted to flee on foot inside the center but was apprehended again.
He was taken to the Lafourche Parish jail where he was booked on charges of armed robbery, resisting arrest, obstruction of justice and simple escape. He is being held on a $107,000 bond.

Daily Demo: TERA
Check out our demo of TERA from day two of our live GDC 2011 show!
i like the action button setup and the fact that i don't see way too many abilities. Keep it simple and make the abilities feel like their important rather then just overwhelming us. I like this positioning movement and simple interface, this could be really good. I hope they make the game scale on low end systems or there won't be an audience. Most mmo players don't rely on the latest hardware. If this game can play on most hardware and keep heading in the direction it's going it could be great.
wow...don't care what anyone says...but I think action combat looks like the right direction for MMOs...this looks really good.
Everyone, including warriors having mana is just ... stupid ? A warrior with mana potions ? For a 2011 MMO this is a pure joke. Make a bloodthirst or rage or anger or focus or at least think of something to put there ...
You cannot pass through someone but he passed through the monster many times!
@TheMobGoblin53 how can you not tell thats sarcasm, he was saying that, because its not the point and click type of game, as a compliment... lol
@Sethnet1022 man, it's suppose to launch in US & EU later this year. imma gonna play it for SURE. been following this game since 2009 (:
I played a priest on the Korean servers, and the game is pretty awesome. Graphics are amazing--it's a very beautiful game--and is really easy on the computer; my 4-year-old machine can easily play it on the highest graphic setting in even the most intense fights. There were a few bugs when I last played it, but they were already coming out with patches for them. The biggest down fall for me was the insanely long fights. Depending on the class and level, a lot of the solo fights can take between 30 seconds and 15 minutes (for one mob). And some of the group boss fights can take hours. The combat system is very well developed, and very addicting to play. But again, the longevity of the fights can make it a bit tedious. But yeah, it's a great game. And I might still be playing it if it wasn't for the fact that I don't speak Korean...
TBA 2011 ...... I hate you
Looks sweet. I hope the world is endearing to players. IMO it's the only way to keep players interested. Telara in Rift looked nice, but felt hollow. It needs character. I hope this game has a captivating lore to go along with nice system they developed. Azeroth has humor and a sense of belonging in the universe of wow. If they get that part of the formula as well as PC development and combat, it will do quite well.
They need to get rid of this guy he insulted the game right from the get go without giving it a chance and he sounds depressed the whole time you can barely hear him if I was that Tera guy I'd been like F U and walked out .
lol this reviewer is such a sh!t ... the look of his face,his voice... The first 30 sec started of ridicules, LIKE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE F@$K A MMO IS you fool (and that's how 90% of the games are these days, only pressing 1 button) In an old republic interview this maggot was quite diffrent. He was like AAH AWSOME and.. stuff.. jezus gamespot where do you find these people
this game looks nice might check this out need a break from ffxi heh..
this may be the first mmo i preorder
@Tripwolf This game isn't even for consoles. So your point is invalid.
this and gw2 look like they're the two to beat.
man i cant wait for this game was a big fan of lineage 2 and i hope this is as good as that was
Is it just me...or what? Every time my eyes skim over the name Bluehole Studio...I have to look twice cause my dyslexia kicks in and I see something else like Blowhole...Butthole. I think I would have picked a different name, but that's just me. Regarding the game, I already have Guild Wars, but thanks!
reminds me of monster hunter w/ the defeat antics
I like the animations,graphics but what bothers me is the fact that we dont see anyone in danger. Now I dont know if this monster is supposed to be dangerous or not(we dont know how equipped these guys are),but overall it looks nice!
looks good, but if thats all it has to offer then ill stick with waiting for gw2 since it has everything this does plus dynamyic quests/events plus no monthly fee
johnnygamer23: It's out in Korea, at least. :)
i already can see me dying coz of the lag ;)
this game really looks great... hope it comes out in asia :(
this chinese guy is a failure...if u dont like your job just quit and find something else
Thats the way ah ah i like my rpg's
ACTION STYLE MMO!! that's the way! TERA looks great... btw the warrior seems mindless :) love it!
I can't wait ., Hmmm ., tera looks like an ofline game ., like star ocean ., how it will work online ?
Looks good, what I saw anyway, but It seems our Gamespot Editor is a little un-energetic and the quip at the beginning trying to make Tera look good (stereotyping other mmos) almost fell on its face due to his lack of enthusiasm. I know there are bad days but I could just imagine a certain other gamespot editor's zeal and upbeat voice giving the video so much more vibe. Please do realize I'm not trying to slam the host of this video I just think he impacted the game a little negitively... Not that gamers really care... but subconsciously it might just make the difference...
Right now I'm playing Rift and really liking it, but this looks amazing. Gameplay looks awesome and graphics for an MMO are outstanding. Def gonna check this out.
Hmm what did i see at 6:04?
it looks like aion but it seems is better
just watched the video they sold me with the in game collision.
So is this a stat based game like most other MMOs? If so how do they balance twitch with stats?
ncie...this game gonna be great..seem action is the main focus...sure its gonna be more then the conventional mmo game i have played except Vindictus.....this game have its own concept...man hope to test this game.... p/s-man i really hate this guy Andrew...he seem uninterested with the game at all n with his lame face...*saying yeah whatever* to the Tera Developer face....=,=
Pretty sweet. I love that the combat is so involved.
nice coverage
looks really touched up i hope it will be any good
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
Looking good, hope it wont become another screwed up Aion :)
this game looks f#!king juicy
damn.. how long does it take to kill one mob o.0
never heard of TERA... but it looks awesome
Woo, TERA is looking awesome so far, please show more, and start a beta we can try out ;)
TERA is looking sooooo great, I want it now! >.
Umm 23 min video and it's black after 9 mins? Is this just me?
tera looking good...
*Sigh* Looking better and better each time I check it out haha Great demo, will be waiting for more news!

One of my first Idaho history columns in the 1970s was about three Boise mayors who were later elected governors of Idaho. Since then we have added a fourth.
The first of these was Moses Alexander, a native of Bavaria who emigrated to the United States in 1867 when he was only 14. After a short time in New York City, he accepted an invitation from a cousin to join him in the clothing business in Chillicothe, Mo. He became interested in local politics and was elected to the City Council and to two terms as mayor.
In 1891, Alexander decided to seek business opportunities in the far west. He got off the train in Boise, intending just to look around the town, and he liked what he saw. Idaho had just become a state, business was booming, and the population was growing. Alexander, with his tall and imposing figure and gift for leadership, made an immediate impression on his new home town.
He was elected mayor of Boise twice, in 1897 and 1901, and in 1915 was elected governor of Idaho.
In 1895, Alexander led the effort to build Boises Ahavath Beth Israel synagogue and in 1897 built the imposing mansion at the corner of Third and State streets that still stands.
James H. Hawley was elected mayor of Boise in 1903 and governor of Idaho in 1911. He had served two terms in the Territorial Legislature, in 1870 and 1874. His career as a trial lawyer is legendary, and the prosecution of Diamond Field Jack Davis and William Big Bill Haywood brought him national prominence.
In 1913, Republican John M. Haines was elected governor. He had come to Boise from Kansas in 1890 when he became a partner with Walter E. Pierce and L.H. Cox in the real estate business. They, like Moses Alexander, had been attracted by the boom created by Idahos admission to the union.
The fourth Boise mayor to be elected governor was Dirk Kempthorne. I met him at the 1985 National Governors Association Conference where friends introduced him as a candidate for mayor who favored building a controversial regional shopping mall west of town and redeveloping Downtown one building at a time. If this would save the few historic buildings that were left, I was all for it. After his election as mayor, feeling no doubt that the preservation point of view should be represented on the citys redevelopment agency, Kempthorne appointed me.
Few Idaho political careers better illustrate upward mobility than that of Dirk Kempthorne: student body president, University of Idaho, 1975; mayor of Boise, 1985-93; governor of Idaho, 1999-2006; U.S. secretary of the interior, 2006-09.

Tokyo Morning Tour
|Just the right half-day tour for the visitor who wants a look at the "Big Three" sightseeing spots of Tokyo—Tokyo Tower, the Imperial Palace and Asakusa—but who has something planned for the afternoon or evening. With pick-up service at your hotel (service not available at some hotels).
|Course No.
|Estimated time
|No meals included
|Adult 5,000 yen/Child 2,650 yen
Hamamatsucho Bus Terminal (9:00)
Tokyo TowerStanding 333 meters high, this self-supporting steel tower is the tallest in the world. On a clear day you can see from the observatory Ginza and Tokyo Bay, and if weather conditions are favorable you can even see Mount Fuji. At night, the illuminated tower is a must-see.
Imperial PalaceThis used to be a castle that housed generations of Tokugawa shoguns, the administrators of the Tokugawa government in Edo, but with the Meiji Restoration it became the residence and palace of the Imperial Family. Surrounded by a moat and an abundant variety of trees, it is like a world apart situated right in the middle of Tokyo.

Fresh from its world-premiere showing at the TCM Classic Film Fest, the 50th anniversary new digital restoration of romantic comedy-drama Breakfast at Tiffany's will screen on Friday, July 29 at 7:30 pm at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater. The Blake Edwards film adaptation of Truman Capote's novel has been a favorite ever since Audrey Hepburn first appeared as Holly Golightly. The movie may be dated (see Mickey Rooney), but Hepburn's Golightly isn't. "People don't belong to people," she tells smitten George Peppard.
The 1961 film nabbed Best Actress and Adapted Screenplay Oscar nominations plus wins for Best Song ("Moon River") and Henry Mancini's score.
Here's more on the screening, which is open to the public. See 1961 trailer below.
rgm | July 1, 2011 8:08 AM
The movie works because we want it to work ... like a beloved children's story, cartoon or fairly tale. Not probable, or maybe even possible, but it takes us into an enchanted, if dicey, NYC "neverland" where we are "willing to suspend disbelief" and root for a happy ending. A curious classic.
Sergio | June 30, 2011 4:06 AM
I can't be the only one who has never liked this film. It's sappy, overlong and has a host of other problem the obvious of which is Hepburn as the unlikeliest movie hooker ever, (which is what she is the film...a hooker.) Even more unlikely than Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman and that's saying A LOT
And Mickey Rooney is TOO painful to watch in the film. I have to turn my head away when he appears. Yeah I know this was back in 1961 but even then they had to be more enlightened
Sergio | June 30, 2011 3:41 AM
Funny thing is that the basic premise of the film is an interesting one. A hooker and a rich woman's paid for boy toy fall in love. Two damaged people who have sold their souls and their bodies find a connection. Though except Tiffany is so glossy so squeaky clean and superficial it completes dilutes what's going on. Actually Peppard is O.K.and Patricia Neal is fine, but Jed Clampett and Hepburn are woefully miscast and the less said about Rooney the better
Brian | June 30, 2011 1:54 AM
Barnaby Jones stalking Hannibal Smith on location in Central Park was the "WTF?" moment for me in this movie. (That would be Buddy Ebsen and George Peppard, respectively.)
This film would benefit more from a remake than a restoration. Pretty much everyone in it was miscast, from Hepburn on down.
And Mickey Rooney's racial impersonation would have been painful to watch during the war!

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WRCB-DT) - Chickens are one step closer to legal resident status within the Scenic City limits. The Animal Control Ordinance moved forward Tuesday night in a 6-3 vote.
There were a few changes added in the form of amendments. District 7 Councilman Chris Anderson proposed changing the distance for coops or cages from property lines from 10 to 15 feet. District 2 Councilman Jerry Mitchell then added those who want egg-laying hens should have to get the okay from all neighbors with adjoining properties. Councilman Moses Freeman of District 8 took offense saying it would not be right to give one neighbor veto power over your actions at your home, but he ultimately voted in the affirmative. Both amendments were adopted.
Under the ordinance, neighborhood associations would also be able to opt-out and restrictive covenants would be observed. Chickens are currently allowed on properties five acres or greater. These guidelines, if passed, would allow up to 8 chickens per single-family detached residence within Chattanooga City Limits.
The "urban chickens" portion of the ordinance dominated council interest and conversation. When the floor was opened for public comment, three people stepped forward, all of them against the measure. One spoke of health concerns, another of illegal fowl already in her North Chattanooga neighborhood, and to demonstrate the noise level, a third played a recording she claimed was of four chickens next door to her daughter's house in Seattle.
Amongst the council members, three spoke up saying they were not on board. Carol Berz from District 6, Larry Grohn from District 4, and District 3's Ken Smith each remarked they had received an overwhelming number of calls from constituents against the measure. In the end, the were the only 'nay' votes in the first reading.
Chairman Yousef Hakeem tried to defer the first reading for a week to gain more input and information, but was voted down. He will now set a time and date for his educational session next week, before the next council meeting and second reading vote. He has asked council members to invite two speakers in favor of the ordinance and two against.
CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) -- A Channel 3 camera is there as McKamey officers bring in an injured chicken to its facility.
This one was picked up on Rossville Blvd, and this could be a routine if an ordinance passes in city council allowing for urban chickens.
McKamey director Karen Walsh says it shouldn't be a problem if everyone does their part.
"People who have chickens illegally are the ones that are usually the problems because they don't house them properly."
The new measure would have a fee of about $100 for a permit and allow for up to 10 hens. There would be strict rules on coop requirements which would be enforced by McKamey.
Councilman Larry Grohn says he isn't sure the proposal has gained enough support.
"I haven't had a single person from my district say they would like this ordinance."
McKamey would be required to build another addition to house the chickens they pick up.
Some of the costs could be put to the city and that ruffled a few feathers.
"It is always a concern when we do something new or different with animals we could end up with an influx of," Walsh says.
Grohn says what hasn't been discussed enough is the true costs of the chickens. He says it is about $300 after fees and inspections and that would ultimately fall on the taxpayer.
He says many people won't flock to that idea.
"Two thirds of the cost is going to be bore by other taxpayers. That just doesn't fly with me."
The council will discuss the ordinance tonight at its meeting.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Sheriff's deputies say there has been a shooting in a shopping mall near Portland, Ore.
One witness at the Clackamas Town Center told television station KATU at least two people were shot, and he saw sheets put over them.
Another witness told the station she saw people screaming and parents grabbing their children as they fled the mall.
That witness said the gunman had a rifle and was wearing a camouflage outfit and a mask.
Another witness said ambulances were arriving at the scene.
Entrances to the mall have been blocked off.
No further details were immediately available from the Clackamas County sheriff's office.

Before the season started if you looked at the Week 13 game between the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills and thought that one of them was fighting for draft positioning, it would certainly be the Bills. Instead it's the Falcons that are currently tied for the worst record in the league, a far cry from their near Super Bowl appearance this past January.
And it's Buffalo that's fighting for a playoff berth.
Atlanta is currently slated for a top three pick in the 2014 NFL Draft and they might jump at any opportunity to take South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. He could immediately upgrade a pass rush that lacks any big names outside of the 32-year-old Osi Umenyiora and a defense that is 28th in points allowed.
For the Bills, they're coming off their first win in nearly a month, a 37-14 beating of the New York Jets that improves them to 4-7 and just one game out of an AFC wild card spot. Their next three games are against teams with three wins or fewer (Falcons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars) and if they play well enough, they could find themselves back at .500 with two games to go.
Do the experts see that starting with a win over Atlanta on Sunday? Mostly.
Here at SB Nation, five of six panelists are going with the Bills to beat the Falcons, with only Joel Thorman going against the grain. Over at CBS Sports, it's six of eight that like Buffalo to win.
It's no different at ESPN, where the Bills are again the heavy favorites over Atlanta in Week 13.
That's not something we could have ever expected three months ago.

My own immediate family was spared the catastrophes of what we call the Nakba of 1948. We had a house and a business in Cairo even though we spent most of the year in Palestine.
Two thirds of the Palestinian population was literally driven out of the country approximately one million people by the Zionist forces.
I was twelve at the time, but I do recall certain things with distinct lucidity. Every member of my family became a refugee during that period—no one remained!
Our part of Palestine, west Jerusalem, controlled by the British mandate belonged to Israel now. People who lived there were suddenly made homeless and in many instances penniless, disoriented and scarred forever.
I saw most of my family after the fall of Palestine, but all were greatly reduced to circumstances, their faces stark with worry, ill health and despair. My extended family lost all of its property and residence. The faces that I once remembered beaming with glee now were lined with the cares of exile and homelessness.
Serial dislocation became the predicament of many Palestinians. One of my uncles went from Palestine to Cairo to Alexandria to Bagdad to Beirut and now in his eighties lives a sad silent man in Seattle wearing the key to his home in Palestine around his neck hoping to return someday.
His touching story of his family's uprooting never gets old!

Several dozen runners from the Mid-South were in Boston for the marathon and some were close when the bombs exploded.
Marathoner Angie Zinkus made it back to Memphis Monday night. She was in a cab headed to Logan Airport when it happened.
"It sounded like a big boom and you kind of thought ... I just looked at my cab driver and I was like 'that wasn't good' and then to have a second one go off I was just like, 'oh this isn't good," Zinkus said.
Zinkus finished her first Boston Marathon earlier in the day. She is an elite runner and was the top female finisher in the December 2012 St. Jude Memphis Marathon.
She witnessed the chaos in the aftermath.
"I could see people coming from where the explosion came and just senses of horror that they wanted to get out of there quickly," Zinkus said.
Heather Duley of New Albany, Miss., was one of those people rushing away from the scene. She had just finished the marathon and was meeting with her family.
"We were just one block away," Duley said. "I had just finished and my mother and sister had been right there and had just left the area to come and meet me and we all just ... everybody in the area just stopped and knew. You just knew that it wasn't ... that something bad had just happened."
Word of the blast spread quickly through the Mid-South's tight-knit running community.
"Your thoughts immediately go to all of those people that you just know from seeing them at the running store or out on the trails," marathon coach Kevin Leathers said. "It was just surreal. Something you never expect to happen"
Leathers was at home tracking two of his runners through the course when he saw what happened. He has run the Boston Marathon in the past and he said it is the pinnacle of the sport.
"Everybody's out. It is festive and it is a carnival," he said. "It is all built around these marathoners from around the world so it is definitely the biggest event in Boston every year."
Zinkus is glad to be home but she said her thoughts are with the people of Boston. Many of them lined the race course cheering the runners on.
"They take so much pride in this race and it is just devastating that this happened to them," Zinkus said.
Zinkus told FOX13 News she will run the Boston Marathon again.

Phoenix ranks in top three for spring break destinations
By KTAR Newsroom
Originally published: Feb 13, 2014 - 5:00 am
Originally published: Feb 13, 2014 - 5:00 am
PHOENIX -- The eyes of many college students are beginning to search calendars for that glorious week called "spring break."
According to a new report from Travelocity, many of those eyes could soon be looking to the Phoenix metro area, which was ranked the third-best place in the nation for students to spend the week off.
One of the main reasons for the Valley's high ranking was the cost of a round-trip ticket, which averages $383. The average cost for a domestic airfare ticket is $442.
Overall, Travelocity said south Florida is again the top destination for students on break, followed by Orlando, which is in central Florida. The other two cities in the top five were Fort Myers, Fla. and Las Vegas, respectively.

A look at the non-championship fights for this week's card....
Courtesy of MMArking Out
Xtreme Couture (Coach Shawn Tompkins) vs. World Class Fight Center (Coach Mario Sperry)
-Santino DeFranco vs. Rafael Dias
Santino DeFranco Scouting Report:
vs Melvin Guillard
vs Robert Maldanado
vs Josh Pacheco
Analysis: DeFranco is fighter out of the Southwest MMA circuit. Pretty slick bjj/submisssion wrestling game. Has some experience on a larger stage, having fought on both Rumble on the Rock and Bodog cards. Has only fought sporadically, sometimes fighting once in a calendar year so rustiness may be an issue. Is 1-1 vs next level competition with a win over Melvin Guillard and a loss to Rodrigo Damm.
Rafael Dias Scouting Report:
vs Eduardo Pessoa in the Copa Brasilia BJJ Tourney
Analysis: BJJ guy, formerly aligned with American Top Team but fighting here for Mario Sperry's team. Started of on the Florida MMA circuit before working several cards for Bodog. In a fight between two ground specialists, Dias seems to have the better pedigree, so i would tend to favor him if it goes to the ground.
-Josh Haynes vs. Leopoldo Serao
Leopoldo Serao Scouting Report: Leopoldo's Tryout with the IFL
Cristiano Lazzarini Vs. Leopoldo Serao
Analysis: Serao is a BJJ guy that has been around for a while, fighting since 1998. Has competed in the BJJ US Open. Has been unable to have that break through performance when facing the elite level talent, with losses to Assuerio Silva, Ninja Rua, and Jorge Santiago. Is Dangerous on the ground, but like a lot of the bjj guys, has a weak stand up game, a weakness that got him KO'ed in his only fight of 07 vs journeyman Rob Wince. He should be able to get Haynes on the ground at some point and when he does he needs to finish him quickly. Haynes has a way of biding his time on the ground, avoiding sub attempts and then making the guy pay for giving him another life.
Josh Haynes Scouting Report
Haynes vs Seth Kleinbeck
Cedric Marks vs Haynes
Analysis: Haynes is the more well known guy in the match-up due to his time on reality TV in The Ultimate Fighter and Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge. Haynes isn't the most talented guy in the world but is tougher than a $2 steak, and shows a lot of heart win or lose. His forte is mainly in the clinch and on the ground, as to be expected from a guy aligned with Team Quest and Coach Matt Lindland. He's generally overmatched when in with a striker, but his own striking game should be superior to Serao's and will be his route to the pay window in this fight. He needs to use his clinch and sprawl to keep this on the feet and pick apart Serao's suspect boxing skills.
-Lew Polley vs. Alexandre Ferreira
Lew Polley Scouting Report:
weight training
Radio interview with Lew
Analysis: Polley is a former college wrestler at UNC-Pembroke. Trains with American Top Team and will fight for them on next month's card. Is filling in for XtremeCouture because he was referred by EC fighter Benji Radach after one of their fighters got injured. Has a win over highly regarded Roger Hollett. His one loss was in SpiritMC, a fight he took on 2 days notice. Has talked of possibly dropping down to 185. Kinda reminds me of Dan Henderson that he strikes to set up the takedown effectively. Uses the ground and pound but has also been able to work a few armbars in from the top. Lew Probably feels more comfortable on the ground but he's not gonna want to go there with Ferreira. Will need to work at getting underhooks, sprawling and trying to outpoint Ferreira standing.
Alexandre Cacareco Ferreira Scouting Report:
vs Rodrigo Rsicado
vs Paulo Filho Grappling Match
vs Fabricio Werdum Grappling (He beat Werdum)
Analysis: It kinda goes without saying that this guy is a world class grappler/submission wrestler. Ferreira is a bit small for 205 but it doesn't seem to slow him down. Has been fighting again the past couple of years after taking about 4 years off from the sport, he seemed to concentrate more on grappling/bjj during this time. Had some nice wins pre-2000 (Heath Herring Bob Schribjer Rodney "Die" Faverus). Doesn't have any KO losses on his card so he either has a good chin or is able to get the fight to the ground on his terms (the latter based on his bowling ball physique.) That will probably be his game plan here, get it to the ground where his submission experience should take the day.
Jake Ellenberger of Team Quest vs Pat Healy of the Lion's Den
Jake Ellenberger Scouting Report:
vs Jose Pele Landis-Jons
vs Zach Light
Analysis: Ellenberger trains with Matt Lindland at Team Quest in Oregon. Only losses in IFL competition were to Grand Prix Finalists Jay Hieron and Delson Heleno. Is well rounded with good wrestling, a potent ground and pound, pretty decent stand up. Seems to be a little more athletic and dynamic than Healy. May try to exploit a stand up advantage to overwhelm Healy.
Pat Healy vs Chris Wilson
vs Rory Markham
Analysis: Healy has a spotty record, but he has been in there with a long list of "name" guys. He has wins over WEC Champ Carlos Condit and Cage Rage Champ Paul Semtex Daley. Has been in there with Denis Kang, Chris Lytle, Jay Hieron, Chris Wilson, Carlo Prater, Rory Markham, and Tiki. Known to have a good chin despite the two knockout clips above, he usually puts on some entertaining fights. Is only 24 but is a veteran at that age with all of the quality fighters he has faced. Will probably want to use his wrestling to take Ellenberger down a try to work for a sub from the top or get Ellenberger's back and choke him out.

Sweet History
No matter whether the recipe is lowfat or not, people have always hungered for sweet treats like ice cream. No one can say for certain where ice cream started. Some ice cream historians say that as early as A.D. 54, the Roman Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar would send his slaves to the mountaintops to gather snow. The slaves would then hurry back down to the city before the snow melted and mix the snow with juice, honey, or wine. These sweet ices were savored only by Nero and the ruling class, who hoarded this delicacy from the masses.
It seems that ice cream continued to be a privilege of the elite for centuries due to the difficulty in obtaining both ice and sugar. In 1271, the famous explorer Marco Polo traveled to China, where he discovered desserts made of milk and ice, similar to the sherbets of today. He recorded the recipes in his journal and brought them back to his homeland of Italy, where they continued to be served only to the wealthy. Stories say that the Italian Catherine de Medici brought ice cream to France when she married Henry II in 1553. And ice cream appeared regularly at the table of England's Charles I during the 1600s
Not long thereafter, ice cream reached the New World. Historical records show that ice cream was served to a guest of Maryland's governor in the year 1700. In 1777, an advertisement appeared in the New York Gazette announcing that a New York confections shop would be serving ice cream "almost every day." During the summer of 1790, President George Washington spent $200 on his ice cream.
Recipe for Success
Beyond the lack of ice and sugar, ice cream was often difficult to make. In the early 1800s, people put their ice cream mixture into a bowl that was in turn placed inside a bucket lined with ice and salt. The salt helped the mixture freeze faster than it would with just ice. The whole contraption had to be shaken by hand, which was very tiring.
Nancy Johnson helped relieve people's arm muscles somewhat by inventing the hand-cranked ice cream freezer in 1846. Her invention, which is still in use, features a crank that turns a paddle inside the pail so that the ice cream mix is stirred evenly while it freezes.
Once ice cream had become a bit easier to make, people began getting more creative with flavors. During the 1800s, ice cream was primarily chocolate or fruit flavored. Other early experiments led to concoctions such as root beer and ginger-flavored ice creams.
By the early 1900s, ice cream was no longer made by hand. Thanks to steam power and electricity, ice cream began to be produced and eaten in mass quantities. Today, Americans are by far the greatest consumers of the sweet treat, rivaled only by New Zealand. On average, Americans eat 5.7 gallons of ice cream every year.
|Best Job in the World?
Vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry still reign as America's favorite ice cream flavors. During the 1800s, ice cream was primarily chocolate or fruit flavored. Early experimentations led to concoctions such as root beer, ginger, lemon, and cherry.
Of course, new ice cream flavors are being developed all the time. Riverdeep spoke with John Shaffer, a flavor developer at Ben & Jerry's in Waterbury, Vermont.
A Matter of Taste
No matter which flavor is your favorite, there's little doubt that you and your friends will be eating ice cream this summer, this fall, this winter and next spring. Whether it's your grandparents' memories of ice cream sodas at the local drugstore soda fountain, or your parents' memories of the ice cream truck calliope in July, or your own memories of your first double-dip cone, ice cream is part of the American culinary culture.
Enjoy your summer, America! And pass the Phish Food.

|Hearty drinking on the 30th floor
Now that Grunauer -- the Viennese restaurant owned and operated by chef Peter Grunauer and his two children, Nicholas and Elizabeth -- is officially open in the old City Tavern location in the Crossroads, it's a good time to look back at another venue serving Viennese cuisine in the metro. Yes, there was one.
But until last weekend, I sure didn't know that. I attended the annual Postcard Show & Sale at the Lenexa Community Center a couple of days ago and found some great vintage stuff, including the color postcard from the 1970s, pictured above, of the Salzberg Haus. I wonder whether any Fat City readers recall eating there.
In the 1970s, during an earlier move to revive downtown Kansas City as an entertainment destination spot, the top floor of the Commerce Tower at 911 Main Street was turned into a variety of small international dining rooms. Paddy's Pub served Irish food and brews, Guiseppe's Roof offered Italian fare, Genghis Khan had a Mongolian motif and Tour d'Argent was a stylish French bistro. The fifth restaurant in the group was Salzberg Haus, described on the postcard as "a Viennese rathskeller thirty floors above the city in Commerce Tower. Hearty drinking and dining in the old world Austrian manner."
All the restaurants were gone by the mid-1980s. I think the P&L District should bring them all back.

About the Institute
The ADP Research Institute® provides insights to leaders in both the private and public sectors on current and emerging issues in human capital management (HCM), employment and workforce trends. The Institute conducts research on crucial trends shaping today's working environments and publishes research insights that can help organizations improve overall business performance.
Contact Us | Follow Us:
ADP Research Institute is led by senior ADP executives and economists with decades of HCM experience.
ADP believes that data-driven, fact-based intelligence can help leaders improve the management of their organizations and their people.
In order to understand the challenges and issues of both recruiters and job seekers today, the ADP Research Institute® conducted two studies in 2013. These studies highlight talent acquisition trends and the results garnered provide a valuable roadmap for recruiters looking to gain a competitive edge in the war for talent.
This new study delves deeply into aggregated, anonymous payroll data, highlighting retirement savings insights and opportunities for employers, benefits administrators, retirement advisors, and others to help increase the retirement savings rate of U.S. employees.
The 2014 ADP Annual Health Benefits Report highlights significant trends in employer-provided health benefits and creates a set of benchmarks that enable employers to better gauge the effectiveness of their current strategies.
The adoption of mobile applications for human resource (HR) functions continues to accelerate. To gauge actual select mobile application usage in midsized U.S. organizations, the ADP Research Institute®, a specialized group within ADP, conducted research based on actual "real-time" activity.
Since the financial crisis of 2008, U.S. businesses of all sizes have been working to weather an anemic economic recovery and persistent political and regulatory uncertainties. Lacking the agility of a small firm and the resources of a large enterprise, midsized businesses are especially vulnerable.
While significant elements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have been delayed until 2015, there is much that employers must do now to help ensure that they are in compliance with the requirements that have not been postponed – and requirements that will still take effect in 2014.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Health Insurance Marketplace, also called the Affordable Insurance Exchange, is expected to be up and running in October 2013 to provide coverage starting in January 2014. Understanding the role of these exchanges is important for both employers and employees.
Learn best practices for collecting data, defining processes, and assembling the right project team to help ensure a smooth, effective Talent Management implementation that improves workforce performance, increases operational efficiency, and drives bottom-line results.
ADP Research Institute 2013 ADP Annual Health Benefits Report features empirical data from 2010-2013 and provides a benchmark against which the implementation of Health Care Reform can be measured. This first annual report reveals young and low wage workers face the greatest health care challenges.
In early 2013, the ADP Research Institute surveyed human resource and employee benefits decision makers in a national sample of small U.S. companies (1-49 employees). Read this report to learn more about ACA and the effect it has on small employers.
Read this new report to explore retirement trends and how they present a valuable opportunity for employers to help their employees understand how to plan for retirement, while at the same time creating an advantage for their firm in the race to hire and retain the best talent moving forward.
With several of the legislation's coverage and compliance mandates already implemented, and even more taking effect in the coming weeks and months, this paper provides essential information midsized and large businesses need to know about Health Care Reform.
This research brief focuses on the role of benefits and, specifically, employer-provided health insurance, in attracting and retaining the talent needed to build a competitive workforce.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), understanding the relationship between employee income, health insurance premiums, and plan participation is critical, because your employees' circumstances can potentially create costly tax penalties for you.
With key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) soon to take effect, developing a high-value health benefits strategy is becoming an even greater challenge.
Over the past several years, media headlines and political debate have focused on the challenges facing businesses in the post-2008 economy and the best path to sustainable recovery. But there has been little discussion about the unique effects of these uncertain economic times on midsized businesses.
There is still confusion in the HR industry around employee satisfaction and employee engagement. Too many organizations still view these valuable, yet distinct measurements as one and the same thing.
Over the past several years, media headlines and political debate have focused on the challenges facing businesses in the post-2008 economy and the best path to sustainable recovery. But there has been little discussion about the unique effects of these uncertain economic times on midsized businesses.
As employers continue to grapple with unplanned and extended employee absence nearly two decades after the Family Medical and Leave Act was passed into law, Total Absence Management (TAM) represents a largely untapped opportunity for enhancing workforce productivity and minimizing compliance risk.
Economic uncertainty and globalization are prompting organizations to develop leading-edge talent acquisition strategies, including utilizing social solutions, building robust talent communities, and finding unique ways to target multigenerational candidates, to maintain a competitive edge and strive for future success.
Health Care Reform is one of the single biggest HR compliance challenges for your Human Resources team. Controlling healthcare insurance costs is another pressing concern. Everyone is working overtime on their ACA compliance plans – and searching for ways to help minimize the cost of providing employee healthcare.
With wage and hour litigation on the rise in the U.S., employers need to assess time and attendance policies as well as their ability to handle complex payroll calculations to minimize compliance risk and exposure to costly legal action.
Pay for Talent, a new compensation model that recognizes past performance while tying critical skills, future potential, risk of loss, and emerging corporate needs into the overall reward process, can help you retain key talent and better achieve your short and long-term business goals.
While Health Care Reform imposes new coverage mandates and tax requirements that can potentially affect every employer-sponsored benefit plan, it also presents an opportunity to rethink the design and delivery of your benefit plans in order to better control healthcare costs and minimize compliance risk.
As employers look for ways to control escalating healthcare costs without compromising employee morale and job satisfaction, many see real value in implementing employee health and wellness programs.
The DOL and other federal agencies are publishing new rules and regulations that are adding to the compliance burden of employers. Regulatory and enforcement activity has already gone into overdrive.

Seahawks can't afford to jettison Hill
