I was fired 12 days after giving birth - had not used all my FMLA time. co. goofed in calculating leave time or wanted to get rid of pregnant employees or make sure they don't have to give leave if pregnant again. Co. seems to rush pregnant employees to return to work without using all leave time. Have not found job for 1 year, though look every day. Severe emotional distress - see a psychologist 1 x per month plus meds for anxiety, etc. Was earning $100,000 per year plus benefits. Didn't offer me severance, but offered to everyone else. I see websites where attorneys claim to have gotten over 1 million dollars for similar cases. How? What range should I expect for a solid settlement. They want to settle. What amounts do you think the case is worth?
Let me see if I can help you consider your options in a slightly different way.
1. What does the future hold for your job prospects? This answer may require a vocational expert to compare your skill set to available jobs in your market.
2. What does the future hold for your medical care?
3. What is your tolerance for the stress, anxiety, and personally invasive and adversarial litigation? Under the best of circumstances, lawsuits are no fun. A lawyer with a reputation may be able to settle your case before a lawsuit, but most insurance companies defending under Employment Practices Liability Insurance will not offer anywhere near full value of a claim before you file a lawsuit. If you want to settle without getting entangled in litigation that may take years to resolve, you may want to consider the value of money in hand and peace of mind. Your doctor and your family can help you with this decision.
4. Would you be able to open up your personal life, under oath, in testimony to strangers? Because your ex-employer will hire a psychologist or psychiatrist who will give you a battery of paper-and-pencil tests, interview you extensively, look for discrepancies in how you tell your story and conclude that you are either (i) a "malingerer" who is faking for money; (ii) a liar; or (iii) suffering from some pre-existing emotional disorder having nothing to do with your employment or stemming from your personal life. Nothing personal. That is what expert defense witnesses are paid to do.
5. Are you a well-spoken, attractive witness with no bankruptcies, criminal felonies, or stains on your employment history? Were you truthful on your application and resume? All this impacts your credibility as a witness.
6. Has the employer discriminated against other women who choose to have a baby? If so, can you get testimony from other women?
7. How strong is your lawyer, and does that lawyer have a track record of going to trial and winning?
8. Are you willing to wait to get paid? An employer who loses a big verdict will most certainly try to attack the judgment with post-trial motions and appeals. You might not see any money for years.
9. What else, besides money, is important to you? What, if anything, can you get from a negotiated settlement that you cannot get from a court judgment in your favor?
10. What is the employer's side of the story? Is their story credible?
11. Will the case be heard in L.A. Country or Orange County? State court or federal court? A lawyer will help determine the best venue for your case. That venue will impact the value of your case.
Bottom line: an experienced employment law attorney can gently guide you through these questions and help you formulate goals that are tailored to your needs. Find an experienced lawyer who makes you feel comfortable, responds to your emails and phone calls, and gives you peace of mind. Everything else will flow from that important decision.
Best regards,
David A. Mallen
I have a very serious concern about three aspects of your post.
First, I see no indication that you filed any kind of administrative charge with either the EEOC or the DFEH. If you are now a year after your termination, you may have put yourself in a position where you have far less leverage, regardless of the company admissions. To have a claim for pregnancy discrimination under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, you have to file an administrative complaint with the DFEH within one year of the wrongful conduct. A failure to do so bars your ability to sue under that statute. The time limit under the federal laws are less. If you lost your ability to sue under the FEHA, you have lost your a tremendous amount of leverage. You are left with a claim of wrongful termination in violation of public policy, which does not carry with it some of the super remedies available under FEHA. You can still get lost past and future wages and emotional distress. If a full year has not passed, you need to race to the DFEH and file a claim.
Second, I am greatly concerned that you are going to attempt to settle this case without attorney assistance. As Ms. Spencer noted, the factors that go into the value of a settlement are many and complicated. One of the greatest factors is the amount of risk the employer believes it faces if it refuses to pay the amount demanded by the employee. If you look and feel like a settlement-only victim, you will be treated like a settlement-only victim. You will be offered the amount the company wants to offer you, and then it will make it a take it or leave it number, knowing based on your situation that you have to take it because you only want to settle. The better settlements are almost ALWAYS those where the gun is to the head of the defendant, and the defendant has risk. Your best chance of a larger settlement is to have an attorney retained who is ready, willing and able to litigate.
One final point, websites that claim settlements over 1 million dollars, along with news stories of monsterous verdicts, usually demonstrate that the attorney is very good at what he or she does. However, you should never then automatically conclude that your case can get the same kind of money as those cases. My million dollar cases (four of them) came after many years of litigation in each and all occurred either within 3 months of trial or during or after trial. The gun was at the defendant's head and it heard the hammer click. That kind of money was not available before the situation was right.
Do not expect anything close to that when you look and feel to the defendant like someone willing to take what they offer.
More importantly, do not expect to get what somebody else got unless you carefully compare the facts and circumstances of the other case to understand all of the dynamics involved. Each case truly is different, and must be assessed based on its unique facts, circumstances and dynamics.
Good luck to you.
Pedersen McQueen, APLC is an Irvine, California law firm assisting clients in all Southern California counties.
I agree with Ms. Spencer and Mr. Pedersen's excellent responses. You are in the same city as Mr. Pedersen, and based on the answers I've seen him give on Avvo, I strongly encourage you to call him. Ms. Spencer is in San Diego, I think, but there's no one better than she is, and you'd do well to consult with her too.
As Ms. Spencer pointed out, no one can give you an accurate assessment of your case through the short exchanges we have on this website. The value of the case depends on so many factors, both objective and subjective, that I'd encourage you not to trust an attorney willing to give you an off-the-cuff evaluation.
Forget everything you read about in the newspapers, hear on TV, or read on websites. People don't get millions of dollars for stubbing their toe. I'm not saying that what happened to you was like stubbing your toe, but the point is that the law provides you compensation for what you've lost. Here, you've lost a $100k job for a year, plus however long a jury decides it would reasonably take you to find another one. You've also experienced emotional distress, which of course is difficult to evaluate in terms of dollars and cents.
Please give Mr. Pedersen a call, or Ms. Spencer even though she's a little further south than you are. Either one of them would be excellent attorneys to help you here. Don't go it alone.
Craig T. Byrnes
The value of a case varies considerably based on probably 50 different things, including the facts of the illegal activity, the statutory and case law, the employer, the employer's attorney, the plaintiff's ability to withstand litigation (which does not mean the plaintiff will actually end up in litigation, just that the employer knows it is a possibility or even likely), the plaintiff's attorney, the financial loss, the emotional distress, the the geographic location, the assets of the company, the public image of the employer, the evidence (including witnesses and documents), the company's insurance, the court the case will end up in or is in, the jury pool, the judicial pool, the financial resources available to each side, the political climate, and many other factors.
There is no realistic way to value your case based on a short exchange on Avvo or in person. A realistic evaluation will take literally hours, days or weeks. Please, please do not try to do this by yourself. It is nearly always the case that a plaintiff ends up with a better resolution when using an attorney than when not using an attorney. "Better resolution" includes more money even considering the portion that goes to the attorney, terms of settlement, leaving the plaintiff in a better position for future employment, and far more.
There are some excellent plaintiffs employment attorneys in Irvine and near to Irvine, several of whom are frequent contributors to Avvo. You are not limited to attorneys in the geographic area, though. You can also find an attorney via the California Employment Lawyers Association (CELA). CELA is the largest and most influential bar association in the state for attorneys who represent working people. The web site is www.cela.org. Click on "Find a CELA Member" and you can search by location and practice area. Many CELA attorneys represent clients throughout the state.
I hope you can resolve your situation and wish you the best.

Ben Lee may be headlining the "Fun! Fun! Fun! Tour," but the artist most likely to live up to the spirit of that tour name is Rooney, a band whose infectious self-titled debut felt like the Beach Boys bringing in Rivers Cuomo to save the day when Brian Wilson had his 19th nervous breakdown. It's been three years since that sun-kissed debut album hit the streets, two years since an appearance on The O.C. as themselves, of course made Rooney almost famous (if not quite as almost famous as the singer's older brother, Jason Schwartzman), and maybe a month since the album they promised to follow it up with called in sick. The only way to hear new songs for now, it seems, is to go to the show. Fresh off the road with American Idol Kelly Clarkson, the band is promising surprises, including the threat of a 10-man jam with Ben Lee's band to close things out. But go for the sugary pop hooks and chugging post-Weezer guitars, and you'll be glad you did.

Like all good things, it finally came to an end on Tuesday. Britain's longest party in living memory concluded with a ceremonial royal carriage procession through central London to mark the finale of the Queen's four-day diamond jubilee celebrations. The festivities went ahead despite the absence of the Queen's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, who was taken ill on Monday and admitted to hospital with a minor bladder infection.
Hundreds of people, who had lined up along the route of the procession waving replicas of the Union Jack, cheered as the open-topped coach carrying the Queen, Prince Charles and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, wound its way to Buckingham Palace past some of London's most famous landmarks. Many who had been waiting since early morning complained that the procession went past too fast and they could not take photographs. Some were far too behind in the crowd even to catch a glimpse of the Queen.
Later, flanked by Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William, his wife Kate, and Prince Harry, she appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace and greeted the crowds outside. People whistled, blew kisses, sang songs and television presenters went berserk as the Queen emerged on the balcony. A special flypast was held to signal the end of the celebrations.
The day began with a thanksgiving service at St. Paul's Cathedral conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams who praised her for her "lifelong dedication".
Prime Minister David Cameron, his Ministers, diplomats and foreign leaders, including representatives from Commonwealth countries, attended the service.

VetVoice has the goods, via Stars and Stripes, if you were still waiting (of course you are). Apparently this ordeal wasn't funded, and those funds didn't become available until November 19 (incidentally, the end of my own 8-year military service obligation). Of the one-hundred and twenty thousand soldiers and veterans eligible, only 264 will be paid by next week. After that, branches will be submitting applications to DFAS every week, potentially by the thousand.
Richard Smith begs an important question at the end of his note, and it's worth repeating here: if your case manager sent you the email saying your months do not match what is on record, why were we submitting an application if DA already had our records?
My unresearched guess is that top official A at DA had a deadline to meet (October 21) and no funds available. Wouldn't want everything to run smoothly when there are no funds. So, have the soldiers continue on and let things sort themselves out--the soldiers who apply will fuck it all up, and blame will be shifted to them instead of DA. Then, once the money comes, things will naturally unfuck, and some tireless schmuck at DA or DFAS will take credit for giving the soldiers their money. End of story and I have a new 50" Plasma on my wall in January instead of for Christmas. Oh well...

Located on the Windsor end of Chapel Street, Dukes Coffee Roasters has become a staple port of call for many discerning locals. It's a solid venture from owner Peter Frangoulis, who does a great job of ensuring quality and creativity in taste through in-house roasting.
The sophisticated fit-out was designed by the internationally renowned Melbourne architect Chris Connell. The walls of elegantly black-trimmed, exposed red bricks and untreated timber panelling perfectly encase the aroma of the house-roasted coffee beans that are used by the knowledgeable and affable baristas behind the La Marzocco espresso machine. Dukes' dark wood benches and tables fill the space on terrazzo floors all the way down to the kitchen and roasting area that features the large 15kg Joper Portuguese roaster. It is this roaster that produces any one of their espresso blends and single origins destined for your coffee, which comes syphon filtered too.

|Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel unsure if he'll play Sunday against the Jets
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 07 September 2007 10:54
``I guess we'll have to wait and see on Sunday,'' Samuel said Friday. ``I'm just going out and practicing and working hard.''
Samuel has been playing catch up since ending his contract stalemate on Aug. 28, a month and a day after the Patriots began training camp. Samuel had stayed away in protest after the Patriots designated him their franchise player and the two sides failed to reach an agreement on a long-term contract.
Samuel worked out on his own during his holdout, but knows that isn't the same as going through training camp.
``There's a difference between working out, just running, conditioning, doing all those things, and being on the field and going against another team and (defending) a two-minute offense or something like that,'' he said. ``It's a little different.''
Patriots coach Bill Belichick said it would be ``totally unrealistic'' to expect Samuel to have the same level of conditioning as his teammates. Belichick did not address Samuel's playing status Friday.
The Patriots have a roster exemption for Samuel, meaning they can carry an extra player while they wait for him to catch up. However, they are at the regular limit of 53 players, a possible indication that they expect Samuel to play in Week 1.
Samuel had a career-high 10 interceptions last season, tying Denver's Champ Bailey for the NFL lead. He also clinched last year's 37-16 playoff win against the Jets by intercepting Chad Pennington and returning the ball 36 yards for a touchdown to complete the scoring.
Meanwhile, quarterback Tom Brady was listed as probable for Sunday's game after limiting his participation in practice for two days with a chronic right shoulder injury.

What would be the best option for writing out accents?:
So there are a couple of characters in my series that have pronounced accents (There are Fantasy Counterpart Cultures ) The only thing is that there's a variety of ways I could treat this.
edited 10th Feb '13 12:00:54 PM by TheMuse
Mention it in the narrative, keep it at that. Phonetic accents are problematic for the reasons you listed. As for painting the fourth wall, that'd probably just make things all the more confusing.

Photos and Description of this 1 bedroom holiday apartment in Honfleur - The Marine Anchor
1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom, separate WC, sleeps 2-3 people
Very comfortable one bedroom self-catering apartment that accommodates 2 or three guests. The flat is ideally situated in the very historic heart of Honfleur, offering postcard views over the most photographed harbor of Northern France; from the living room, you will be able to enjoy your meals while watching the boats passing by. The flat is sunny and bright throughout the day; the rising sun in the living room; in the early afternoon, the sun shines in the bedroom, ideal for a nap!; in the afternoon, the sun lights up the kitchen for the preparation of your evening dinner.
The apartment is located on the second floor in a 17th century building with lots of character (timber in the stairs and slates on the front ( typical of Honfleur craftmanship) that has been recently refurbished. Also, It provides the latest mod cons and hifi equipment for a relaxing break -including international sat- HD TV/radio, dock station for smart phones and double glazing.
To enjoy your night, the king size bed (140*200cm) and its mattress have just been upgraded to a 4-star luxury quality.
For a French person like myself (Nathalie, the owner), food is essential to the French way of life. The reason why my kitchen is as well-equipped as yours at home; nothing is missing, you will really be able to cook like a CHEF!
From a touristic point of view, Honfleur is one of the most visited historical towns of France, dating back from the Middle Ages and there is plenty to enjoy from shops, art galleries, restaurants, artisan bakeries and 'charcuteries'. All of them are at the foot of the building (your car is useless). Be sure to visit the famous churches and museums, or perhaps explore the picturesque villages within the lovely countryside of the 'Pays d'Auge' with its stud farms and numerous thatched Norman houses surrounded by apple orchards.
Just 10 miles away from Honfleur, you will reach Deauville with its casino, beach and race track.! Etretat and its famous cliff is one hour away without forgetting the landing beaches that are 1 hour 30 away.
All the maps and necessary touristic information are to be found in the flat and I (the owner) will be delighted to help you with any more information if you wish so. The tourist Information Center is just 2 minutes'walk from the flat!

Guestbook comments from the owner
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cet appartement très fonctionnel, très propre et dans lequel rien n'a manqué à notre confort. La propriétaire, particulièrement charmante, nous a réservé un acceuil chaleureux. Un bouquet de fleurs nous attendait... et comme nous étions début mai, quelques brins de muguet également (jolie attention!). Notre séjour a été comblé de soleil lorsque partout ailleurs il pleuvait!
Quant à la vue sur le port de Honfleur...un véritable régal! Quel réel privilège de l'admirer également la nuit lorsque tout est endormi! La vue est tout à fait exceptionnelle! Très romantique! A refaire très vite...

Golf Finished With Round One Of America Sky Championship
Edmister in a tie for seventh place individually; Bearcats in fifth after 18 holes
April 25, 2014Tweet
Angels Camp, Calif—The Binghamton University golf team concluded round one of the America Sky Championship in fifth place with a 18-hole team score of 317 from a soggy Greenhorn Creek Resort course. Senior Bryce Edmister paced Binghamton with an opening round 75 (+3) on Friday afternoon.
Edmister's 75 puts him in a tie for 7th place with one other player. The Webster, NY native started off hot on Friday, recording a pair of birdies through his first five holes to take an early lead over the 35-man field. Edmister had a difficult stretch in, playing his final 10 holes in wet conditions that resulted in him giving up five strokes. The two-time PING All-Region selected led BU with three birdies.
Junior Jack Sedgewick had Binghamton's second best round of the afternoon, carding a 78 (+6) at Greenghorn Creek Resort. After going out in 42, Sedgewick bounced back with an even par 36 on the back-nine. He made birdie on back-to-back holes on 9 &10 and made seven straight pars to grab hold of a tie for 13th place.
Underclassmen Jesse Perkins and Kyle Wambold rounded out BU's scoring in round one. Perkins, who had his best finish of the season last weekend in the Rutherford Invitational, tallied an 81 (+9) on Friday. Like Sedgewick, Perkins recovered from a difficult first nine holes to shoot 36 on the back. Wambold, BU's lone freshman in the starting lineup, made 10 pars on his way to an 83 (+11) on Friday.
Northern Colorado are the leaders in the clubhouse after round one, shooting a 296, nine shots clear of second-place Sacramento State. Northern Colorado's Steven Kupcho holds the individual lead after an even par 72. Kupcho is the leader by one stroke over four players at +1.
The Bearcats will tee off in tomorrow's second round beginning at 11:50 p.m. (EST). They will be paired with Weber State (6th), North Dakota (7th) and Southern Utah (4th) on Saturday morning from Angels Camp, California.

While working on the 1980 sci-fi cult classic "Altered States," maverick film director Ken Russell went to a Los Angeles Philharmonic concert to hear the tone poem "Also sprach Zarathustra" and found himself wowed by another work on the program: John Corigliano's Clarinet Concerto.
He immediately decided that Corigliano's adventurous music would be perfect for his hallucinatory tale of sensory deprivation, and the director wasted no time in hiring the New York composer, even though he had never previously written for Hollywood.
The otherworldly, hyper-kinetic soundtrack went on not only to be a milestone in the famed contemporary composer's career and earn an Academy Award nomination, but also to influence composers since both in and out of Hollywood.
"It works with the film," said Corigliano, 75, "but I'm also very happy with the music per se and especially the fact that I went out much further than I'd gone before with it. It forced me to go out on many limbs."
As part of a long-running series in which it performs film music by famed and not-so-famed classical composers, Chicago's Fulcrum Point New Music Project will present a live performance of the score during a Tuesday evening screening of "Altered States."
Orchestras semi-regularly perform "Three Hallucinations" (1981), a three-section suite that Corigliano assembled from music that he wrote for the film, but this will be the first time that anyone has attempted to perform the entire soundtrack, because there is no available score for it.
Warner Brothers provided a fresh digital print of "Altered States" without the recorded soundtrack for this concert, and it also passed along from its archives the original scores that the studio orchestra used to perform the music.
But there was one problem: As is typical with film scores, some of the music that got recorded was either abbreviated or not used at all. So, Stephen Burns, Fulcrum Point's founder and artistic director, had to go through and painstakingly edit the instrumental parts to fit what actually happens on screen.
"This is toughest thing I can imagine, and I'm overwhelmed by the amount of work that Stephen Burns has had to do," said Corigliano, who will be in attendance. "He's really the hero of this."
As he conducts the 75- to 80-piece orchestra put together for this project, Burns will minutely follow the film on the screen and synchronize the music to it. "I've been memorizing certain motions, that when a hand gesture does this, there's the next cue, or with this word, that's where we should be," Burns said.
During his discussions with Russell more than 30 years ago, Corigliano told the director that he wanted to avoid the cliché kinds of sounds often associated with sci-fi and horror movies and venture into an uncharted sonic realm.
"I said, 'I'm going to do a different kind of music in which the instruments don't even sound like the instruments they are,' " Corigliano recalled. "[Russell] agreed to it, but he couldn't hear it until the recording sessions. He just had to trust me."
The composer said he expanded his musical vocabulary "200 percent" for this film, exploring in part what he calls "motion sonorities" — not just the familiar trills and tremolos but ones that he invented, with the musicians given a certain freedom with the music's structure.
In some places, for example, the strings play a rapid staccato chromatic figure within an augmented fourth chord, and each player can choose to include two, three or five notes within it. "You've got 40 strings doing that, and it becomes this crunchy, clustery agitation of sound within a certain pitch range," Burns said.
Just as it is impossible to imagine "Jaws" without John Williams' now-legendary, shark-attack theme, he said, Corigliano's eerie, evocative score plays an inseparable role in "Altered States."
"In so many of the great films throughout history," Burns said, "the soundtrack is that ineffable X factor that grabs you by your heart and pulls your head in. It keeps you from seeing that it's a big plastic fish."

US teen cuffed for sending nude phone pics

If you are fed up being tracked by CCTV, these pens cause havoc for CCTV cams. But be prepared for the Government Storm Troopers to send out the brigade to put you away after tasering you. The Police state won't like the fact that people are starting too counter act the Big Brother State and that their toys are vulnerable to all sorts of attack, i.e. Laser Pens, High Powered Video Band Modulators that wipe out baseband video in an instant. Next these terrorists (Kids) will be blocking the Video downlink frequencies from Pold in the sky.

Snoop-happy councils warned off RIPA abuse
It's all a load of poo
I think this country has much more to worry about than who's dogs shite where and what school little Johnny goes too. Fact is, the cameras are not ding what they are supposed to do and thats deter / detect real crime. The camera opposite my house is currently pointing at someones window and has been for the last 3 days. Are the operators perving? What happened to the privacy zones these cameras should be programmed with (ie. no snooping into peoples windows)
Its been proven so far that our camera state has only detected 3% of crime, compare this to the costs of running such systems, they should be scrapped. Cameras run by local authorities is just another excuse to spy on us normal everyday citizens whilst in reality, they don't prevent and detect real crime. I'm fed up with being snooped apon when I'm walking, shopping, driving, having a meal out, having a pint out and probably whilst I'm having a dump in a public toilet somewhere. When has any of these cameras contributed to busting a terrorist or drugs cartel? Never.Congratulations for all the Dog Shit detection! Horrah for watching little johnny go to school, What a feat which costs us millions of pounds to have these jobs worth, perving camera operators film our every movement.
What a weak nation this pathetic island has become!
Vodafone hangs up on Tiscali auction
Trying to be one of the Big Boys
I'm afraid Tiscali just can't deliver. It's IPTV service that was due to be launched in late Feb has errrrr, not been launched, its just available to a few thousand subscribers who we're inherited from a former london tv company. The national launch of IPTV has just not happened and probably will not. I don't know why Tiscali doesn't just gracefully give up to the likes of Virgin Media or BT and let them take their subscribers. Everyone wants to jump on the TV delivery band wagon, but before doing it, they should have a full understanding of what they are undertaking and the means to fund it fully.
If you are wanting a reliable TV / Internet / Telco service, it pays to be with an established company as I learned at my own costs. 'Wanna be' providers just think they can set up, sell off and make a quick buck. Established Telcos have been burned by purchasing poorly set up companies in the past (NTL CableTel - Cable & Wireless, Videotron etc) and are wary of buying companies like Tiscali and inheriting a 'pants' network costing millions to put right. Vodaphone should concentrate on it's own products and spend the money investing on their own subscriber bases from scratch, its much more cost effective than inheriting a pile of poo from someone else.

Help from you weather prophetsPosted Monday, August 10, 2009, at 2:21 PM
My wife noticed Sunday afternoon the squirrels in our yard have been busy the past few days burying nuts, especially in flower beds.
Does this mean anything to any of you weather phophets out there?
I used to ask such questions in late summer of the oldtimers until one day it occurred to me, heck, I'm an oldtimer now, and this oldtimer can only come up with thrifty squirrels as a possible answer.
My wife has another name for them I won't mention here.

Mary Washington Healthcare lays off 66 workers
DOCUMENTS: See a memo from MWHC CEO Fred Rankin, III to employees, and a question-and-answer sheet about their staff reductions
Mary Washington Healthcare cut 66 jobs Wednesday as part of an ongoing effort to pare $30 million in expenses. The layoffs were effective immediately.
The system trimmed the paychecks of another 46 employees, whose hours are being reduced.
And 157 additional workers will be transferred to other jobs within the system.
"This is a difficult day," Chief Executive Officer Fred Rankin said in a statement. "Right now we're doing everything we can to help each of the associates who lost their jobs find other opportunities."
The not-for-profit company operates two local hospitals and employs about 3,400 people. The cuts represent about 2 percent of the system's employees.
The lost positions were mainly in support fields and were divided between both Mary Washington and Stafford hospitals, said Eric Fletcher, senior vice president of strategy, marketing and business development for MWHC.
"The cuts were weighted toward non-patient care positions," he said. "We're really providing great care and will continue to do so."
The 66 layoffs included four vice president positions.
Employees learned about the layoffs throughout the day, in a series of small departmental meetings.
"This came as a complete shock," said a worker who wished to remain anonymous. "Everyone had their mouths open."
Employees who lost their jobs were offered severance packages of six to 16 weeks, depending on length of employment. They were also offered career-counseling services, Fletcher said.
In the meetings, employees received letters detailing the company's latest cost-reducing measures. The letters blamed the layoffs on "significant cuts" to the hospitals' payments for patient care.
MWHC will get about $31 million less this year in Medicare reimbursements because of a variety of factors, Fletcher said.
Medicaid expansion could help MWHC's bottom line by about $14 million annually—enough to recoup some losses from Medicare reimbursement cuts. But Virginia legislators seem unlikely to expand Medicaid coverage to the 400,000 state residents who would qualify.
The Fredericksburg-based health care system lost almost $8.2 million in 2013, according to an audit released this spring.
MWHC tried to close that gap by negotiating with vendors and insurance providers, freezing hires in some departments and cutting supply costs, Fletcher said.
According to the letter, signed by Rankin, more cuts were needed.
"We've worked very hard to try to make this reduction a one-time event," the letter stated. "Although we can't guarantee we'll never have to make this action again, we can say that it is unlikely in the near future."
The layoffs came a week after a report showed that nonprofit hospitals across the nation lost record amounts of money last year.
The report from Moody's Investors Services stated that nonprofit hospitals lost more money than larger, for-profit hospital systems.
Still, Fletcher said that MWHC's board remained committed to being a small, locally owned health care provider.
"These cuts are to make sure we're strong and viable," Fletcher said, "They are part of our journey to continue to remain independent."

Schneider Electric Offers $5 Billion for Invensys
France's Schneider Electric is in talks to buy Britain's Invensys for $5 billion. Invensys shares rose on the news, but some investors hope for a counterbid, possibly from Emerson Electric, General Electric, or ABB, reports Bloomberg.
Invensys operates in more than 180 countries and employs more than 16,500 people. The energy management and controls software company is known for its widely used Wonderware software. In May, Invensys sold its railroad unit to Germany's Siemens, making it a more attractive takeover target.
Schneider, meanwhile, has been on an acquisitions role. Frost & Sullivan Industry Manager Konkana Khaund said Schneider has benefitted from a strong line up of acquisitions in the last decade (Square D, T.A.C., Andovar, Kavlico, Lee Technologies, APC, Vizelia, Uniflair, Pelco and Juno Lighting). These acquisitions have boosted its energy management business lines, supported by the company's StruxureWare software.
"A further boost to these capabilities is inevitable, given Invensys' strong position in energy monitoring, controls and software," said Khaund.
Paul Baier, vice president of Sustainability Consulting and Research at Groom Energy Solutions noted that Schneider has also picked up:
- 2013: SCL Elements, wireless building solutions
- 2012: M&C Energy Group, procurement and sustainability specialist
- 2011: Summit Energy, utility bill management, energy management software and procurement.
"While large major rivals such as ABB, Emerson, General Electric, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Rockwell, and Siemens have also completed software acquisitions, none can keep with the pace set by Schneider Electric," said Baier. "We think Schneider's acquisitions are well thought out."
"The strategic and financial rationale for this transaction, if consummated, is compelling," said Schneider in a statement, mentioning the "key electro-intensive segments" and "the fast-growing software business for industrial operational efficiency."
According to the Wall Street Journal, Invensys global client sectors include oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceutical, nuclear-power, and mining companies with around 38 percent of its $2.7 billion in annual revenue derived from South America, the Asia Pacific region, Africa and the Middle East, while its main market is the US.
Invensys said it disclosed the offer without Schneider's consent, reports Bloomberg. Schneider has until August 8 to make a firm offer under UK takeover rules; but that deadline could be extended.

"Number one … airports pay different landing fees at different airports," Trippler said. "Different landing and take-off fees."

"This was perfect for my son's graduation party. I was easily able to customize the whole card including how I wished the invite to read. This was my first time using this service and was done with the process very quickly with a quality product.."
"We were able to use several different poses. Feminine border but still could use school colors. Easy to upload pictures. Put in graduation information and still had room for a poem. We had such great feedback from family and friends. Everyone commented on how personnel it was The price was great, less than annoucements ordered from school."
"Tiny Prints offered the best selection and value for graduation cards. I was able to pick three of our favorite photos to add to the card. We were able to customize the wording on the card. Family & friends loved the cards. They thought we paid a fortune because of the high paper quality and customization. If you are looking for an option other than the standard graduation card, Tiny Prints is the way to go."
"Tinyprints website was so user friendly, personalizing the card took almost no time at all and looked fantastic. I could hardly wait for the cards to arrive ... when they did I was not disappointed - the quality was high, the pictures were crisp and clear and the whole package was phenomenal. Everyone loved my announcements and I will be placing many more orders with Tinyprints in the future - thank you!!"
"My daughter's graduation invites turned out to be better than we had expected - they are beautiful!! Very professional job, and excellent customer service! We'll be back!"

Kinetic H2O
Australia, 1996 (MIFF 1996, Experimental)
Director: Tony Woods
A painterly representation of mediated water seen through a full prismatic gauze of colour and bifocular distortion. The strobing and oscillation of ripples in a dark unnatural world are as ephemeral and solid as a vast body of water. The introduction of a feather changes the grid s course of movement. The fountain s steady voice is woven with incidental life-trams voices.
Kinetic H2O is cleansing in its exploration of images made possible with the videocamera and its mediation of water. (MS)
