The Abuse Investigation Unit is charged with assessing penalties under several sections of the Act. Section 205(3) requires payment of weekly compensation benefits within 30 days of becoming due and payable when there is no ongoing dispute. Section 205(4) requires payment of medical bills within 30 days of becoming due and payable when there is no ongoing dispute. If these sections are violated, a $50.00 per day penalty, up to a maximum of $1,500.00 must be imposed. Penalties under section 205(3) must be paid to the employee, while section 205(4) penalties are paid to the Board's Administrative Fund.
Section 324(2) mandates that payments be made within 10 days of any board order or approved agreement. A violation of this section can be penalized by a forfeiture of up to $200.00 per day. The first $50.00 per day is due to the aggrieved employee, the remainder is paid to the Board's Administrative Fund.
Section 324(3) provides penalties for failure to secure required workers' compensation coverage. The maximum penalty is $10,000.00 or an amount equal to 108% of the premium, whichever is larger. Other potential sanctions include loss of corporate status and referral to the Attorney General for criminal prosecution. Penalties assessed under this section are paid to the Board's Employment Rehabilitation Fund.
Section 359(2) provides a penalty of up to $25,000 for any employer, insurer or third-party administrator who engages in a pattern of questionable claims-handling techniques or repeated unreasonably contested claims. Any penalty assessed under this section is payable to the Board's Administrative Fund. The Act also provides that the Board shall certify its findings of any violation of this section to the Superintendent of Insurance, who shall take appropriate action so as to bring any such practices to a halt.
Section 360(1) provides for penalties when a form is not filed within time frames set by rule or statute. Violations of this section carry a maximum penalty of $100.00, payable to the General Fund.
Finally, section 360(2) provides for penalties in cases where a willful violation of the Act, intentional misrepresentation and/or fraud has occurred. The maximum penalty that may be imposed, after hearing, is $1,000.00 for an individual, and $10,000.00 for a corporation, partnership or other legal entity. Repayment of compensation received, or of compensation wrongfully withheld, through a violation of the Act may also be ordered. If a penalty is ordered, it is paid to the General Fund.
The majority of cases that are filed with the Abuse Investigation Unit are brought under sections 360(1) and 324(3), concerning late filings and no-coverage.

Dr. Carrie Pfeifer
Graduate Faculty - Adjunct
My master's degree is in Curriculum and Instruction from the Minnesota State University, Mankato . I received my doctorate in 2003 from Nova Southeastern with a program focus in special education. My dissertation studied support programs for students with learning differences within our WELS secondary schools.
Helping students with learning differences has always been my passion and is a big part of my call at St. Croix Lutheran High School and Middle School in West St. Paul. I serve at St. Croix Lutheran High School and Middle School as the Learning Resources Director, a program that serves the needs of students with learning differences. Our program has expanded every year and makes it possible for many students with learning difficulties to receive a Christian education. I also teach several courses in the English department and I am the Director of Student Residences. I am an adjunct faculty member at Bethany Lutheran College, serving as instructor in a College in the Classroom partnership between Bethany and St. Croix.
My husband Gene serves at St. Croix Lutheran High School and Middle School as the president. He also is a member of the MLC graduate school faculty. We have three children: Jesse (29) who was recently married to his lovely wife, Naomi. He resides in Portland, Oregon and works for the 3M Corporation. Our daughter Nicole (26) is married to a wonderful young man, Corey. Nicole is a singer/song writer-a career that is currently flourishing both in Minnesota and nationally.

Bradley Band made the county proud when they played at games, gave concerts and marched for parades, but when they came home from Johnson City with high honors everyone was excited and proud of their kids!
Bradley tunes win big
The Bradley High School band returned loaded with high honors from East Tennessee Band and Orchestra contest and festival. The event was held in Johnson City. The band won a number two rating in concert under the direction of bandmaster A.R. Sprang. In addition, the young musicians received a two-plus in marching.
Four members who entered in individual contests won three first place awards and one second place.
Several mothers took on the challenge of chaperoning the band on the trip. It took two chartered buses to carry the students from Cleveland to Johnson City. Sixteen bands, including local ones from Athens and Etowah, participated in the contests. Bands from as far away as Virginia and Kentucky also competed. About 1,500 high school musicians participated in the big musical event.
East Tennessee State Teacher's college hosted the event. A march was conducted through the business district to Roosevelt Stadium. A gala mass concert was then held before several thousand spectators.
Bands from Bradley and Bristol were the only two selected out of the 16 entries to stage a broadcast over the Johnson City radio station WJHL. The Bradley band also put on its "Air Raid," which made such a hit when first staged during the 1941 football season.
Tuesday, April 21, 1942
Spring came again to the beautiful city of Cleveland and painted the town, and especially Ocoee Street, with the beautiful pinks and whites of dogwood trees. Splashes of lavender, reddish blooms and light green new leaves seemingly flitted from one branch to the next.
Lions Club stages clean-up
The Lions Club organized its annual clean-up week. They called it "Clean-up for Clean-up Week." According to reports, citizens were urged to "make Cleveland more beautiful by beautifying your premises." The group encouraged local residents to "protect your home against fire by getting rid of inflammable trash and other accumulations." All of these changes were thought to safeguard against disease as well.
The club arranged for city trucks to pick up trash at several locations.
The Lions sponsored clean-up week twice a year. The first day launched every spring. The second took place in the fall as a civic project. The two dates kept the city well-groomed and maintained.
The reputation of being one of the cleanest and beautiful cities in the South began to spread, thanks to the civic club's work.
Wednesday, April 22, 1942
Cleveland talent reached outside of the city limits to be heard by other cities.
Bradley favorite plays at Tyner
Charlotte Finnell, a Bradley band member who won the first division rating on the bass clarinet in mid-April, performed at Tyner High School's annual spring concert as a guest soloist. Finnell was accompanied by Miss Greg. Finnell once again played classic Spanish favorite "Jota Aragonesa" by Adolf Hoffman, with David Bennett's "Deepwood" as a second offering. She originally payed the two pieces while at the East Tennessee Band concert held at Johnson City.
Friday, April 24, 1942
A 53rd wedding anniversary warmed the hearts of Clevelanders, and inspired hopes that dreams really could come true.
Love celebrates 53 years
The Rev. and Mrs. A.J. Tomlinson, bishop of the Tomlinson Church of God, celebrated their 53rd anniversary in the beautiful spring of 1942 with a family dinner at their Gaut Street home.
They were married in Bentonville, Ind., April 24, 1889. Tomlinson's wife grew up in the same city as Mary Jane Taylor. His home was in Westfield, Ind. She was 20 years of age and he was 23.
In 1904, Tomlinson moved his family to Cleveland so that the children could attend school, and after that time they lived at 2525 Gaut St.
Their marriage was blessed with four children. These included the early departed Halcy. The other three were Homer, Iris and Milton.

"Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt." – Sun Tzu, "The Art of War"
The last time these two clubs got together, Dave Bolland destroyed Mike Richards with this check.
Richards has never been the same since. For the first time in his career, he went the entire regular season without a fight.
Now it's time for some payback, Richards style.
If you don't believe he's thinking about it, you're about as wrong as Donald Sterling.
If Richards gets the opportunity on "Showtime" he'll wind up on the ice like this…
If Richards gets the chance, he'll line up Toews like this
I don't know what it would be like to play with fear of another concussion, or play looking over your shoulder for a possible cheap shot that could end your career. I'm a fan of Mike Richards, he has not played up to his potential this year. His physical game has gone missing, at times lacks energy and compete, but he plays a smart game in anycase. He plays the angles on the PK and disrupts passing lanes as good as anybody else. Mike's game has improved in the playoffs, he has always stuck up for his fellow team mates, much more so than alot of other Kings. Here's hoping he brings his A game to the rest of these playoffs.
He'e been having a pretty good playoffs considering. I like to think that he'll continue to get healthier with time and hopefully next year will return to more of his old self. Crosby was out forever after all, and he's now as good as ever.
I've been saying it for the past 2 years, take out Toews/Kane with head decapitating hits and the series is over ………… my son says the Kings just don't play like that.
I say we start playing like that, like tonight !
Hammering Hossa is the key to humbling those Chelsea Dagger perineums. He is one of the best two-way forwards not named Kopitar, absent which, would force Quenneville to move the drunk dwarf up to Toews' line and allow the Kings to focus on smothering them, leaving Sharp as the only viable secondary scoring threat. Maybe it's time for karma to rear its ugly head in the name of Bryan Berard.
When we play physical and fight we win.
We can't let Chiraq win, burn that shit down like it's 1871.
Was there any doubts?
Good job Sutter, whatever you feed the players, make them eat it with a smile
Maybe John Jaeckel can shut his fucking mouth now. Jesus Christ you would think the Kings were playing the '84 Oilers. Suck on it Chicago!
Spot on man. He and all those arrogant fans need a vergazo to the face

My heroes
On June 26, a hot afternoon, I was putting garage sale signs out for the next day.
What I didn't know at that time was at Nokomis and Stainback Roads is about a 13-14 ft. culvert.
It is so grown up with weeds that it looks to be maybe 2-3 ft deep.
As I was sticking the sign into the ground, my footing gave way and the next thing I knew I was 9-10 ft. down in the culvert standing on a ledge.
There was no way to get out and I was in and surrounded by briers and poison ivy.
I was stunned at what had just had happened to me, that was for sure!
Out of nowhere, God sent me two 14-year-old boys, Mark Arnett and his friend, Dean, who lives next door to him.
They peered down at me and said, "Lady, are you ok?"
I told them I was, but there was NO WAY I could get out of there.
Mark said he wanted to try to pull me out.
I was amazed at this young man's courage.
So he tried, but he started to fall in, so I let go.
Mark was determined to get me out of the culvert, so he repositioned himself and said he wanted to try it again.
Slowly I started climbing up and got Dean to take my other hand.
Together, those boys pulled me up level to the road where I could crawl out the rest of the way!
I find joy that we, in our society, still are bringing up youth who will care enough to help a stranger in need.
Mark Arnett and Dean are to be commended on what they did.
I personally have gone over and talked to Mark's parents, but have not caught Dean's parents yet.
I am so proud of them.
Now, as for the City of Red Oak, on Monday, June 30, I called and talked to the lady who handles the roads and maintenance around the roads.
She knew the corner that I was talking about, but had NO IDEA that there was that deep of a culvert, or even how big the pipe was.
She assured me that she would get a crew out to at least get the weeds cut way back and possibly take other measures if there was such a deep "hole" there.
Guess what—NOTHING has been done.
The weeds have grown up even more.
That corner (Nokomis & Stainback Rds) is a very dangerous corner and needs railing put up around it so that cars turning too sharply or people (like me) won't fall into the deep culvert.

Company of Heroes 2 - Preparing for War Developer Diary
This developer diary focuses on the setting and significance of Company of Heroes 2.
I hope this time around you can do more within the game as compaired to the previous two.....hope.
if it work dont fix it
It's just me or CoH2 looks exactly like CoH1 ?
@Seth_Defiler It was exactly the first thing that came in mind. I think they used the same engine as before. Not that it matters, the game wasn't ugly and besides I'd rather have a game which has perfect gameplay than superb graphics for that instance... Although I must say I expected that they would've updated the visuals.
@Rickiej Indeed, that's wierd there is pretty big difference between Essence v1.0 and v2.0 at least for me. But v3.0 look like step back.

We've searched endlessly for the mythical beast known as el búfalo blanco.
A majestic creature that, at the time, struck us as sacred.
Well, as it turns out, we finally found The White Buffalo, and turns out, it was a guitar player all along.
He's a really good one, though, so we're still satisfied.
Legend says he still roams these lands, playing shows and readjusting expectations. If you go to Church of Boston and pray, you might see him. Penn Sultan and DJ Carbo could show up, too.

Short for electronic mail, the transmission of messages over communications networks. The messages can be notes entered from the keyboard or electronic files stored on disk. Most mainframes, minicomputers, and computer networks have an e-mail system. Some electronic-mail systems are confined to a single computer system or network, but others have gateways to other computer systems, enabling usersto send electronic mail anywhere in the world. Companies that are fully computerized make extensive use of e-mail because it is fast, flexible, and reliable.
Most e-mail systems include a rudimentary text editor for composing messages, but many allow you to edit your messages using any editor you want. You then send the message to the recipient by specifying the recipient's address. You can also send the same message to several users at once. This is called broadcasting.
Sent messages are stored in electronic mailboxes until the recipient fetches them. To see if you have any mail, you may have to check your electronic mailbox periodically, although many systems alert you when mail is received. After reading your mail, you can store it in a text file, forward it to other users, or delete it. Copies of memos can be printed out on a printer if you want a paper copy.
All online services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer e-mail, and most also support gateways so that you can exchange mail with users of other systems. Usually, it takes only a few seconds or minutes for mail to arrive at its destination. This is a particularly effective way to communicate with a group because you can broadcast a message or documentto everyone in the group at once.
Although different e-mail systems use different formats, there are some emerging standards that are making it possible for users on all systems to exchange messages. In the PC world, an important e-mail standard is MAPI. The CCITT standards organization has developed the X.400 standard, which attempts to provide a universal way of addressing messages. To date, though, the de facto addressing standard is the one used by the Internetsystem because almost all e-mail systems have an Internet gateway.
Another common spelling for e-mail is email.

The bugle is calling assembly for all Leathernecks, Deck Apes, Wingnuts, Dog Faces, Bubbleheads and Shallow Water Boys. No, this is not about throwing a costume party or casting a horror movie.
Veterans, form up to receive some great benefits to honor you for your service to our country. Many restaurants, fast-food places, and stores want to salute your patriotic service. Always, always ask for a military discount no matter what the time of year. Lowe's and Home Depot honor veterans all year with a 10 percent discount while Kohl's will give you 15 percent off.And Veterans Day now offers even more specials this coming week.
Golden Corral Restaurant in Gilbert gets the Congressional Medal of Honor as the best place to go for a free meal at 1318 North Cooper Road just south of Baseline Road on the west side of Cooper. This restaurant salutes America's heroes with its 12th annual free-buffet dinner on Military Appreciation Monday this Nov. 12 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. (Military Appreciation Day at the Corral is always the Monday following the 11th of November.)
At last year's Veterans Day at the Corral, I ate a steak so thick that I had to ask for a butcher's apron and a KABAR knife. The Corral offers an all-you-can-eat buffet -- no mess-hall stuff -- just limitless delicious food. And no chits are needed to prove you are military. Wear a belt you can loosen, but not too loose -- or we'll see your skivvies.
Golden Corral has served almost 3 million complimentary meals to military personnel and generated over $5 million in contributions for state and local Disabled American Veterans chapters. Arizona thanks the Golden Corral for outstanding service to the honored men who have given so much to our country. Telephone: (480) 507-3331. View www.goldencorral.com for more locations/info.
The Olive Garden at Superstition Springs, 6201 E. Southern Ave., Mesa (near the Burlington Coat Factory) invites all active-duty and veterans to enjoy a free entrée from a list of five choices on Sunday, Nov. 11 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Telephone: (480) 807-0207. View www.olivegarden.com for more locations/info.
Applebee's, 2032 E. Baseline Road, also offers free chow with a choice of one entrée from a special menu of four full-size entrees. (Appetizers, drinks, and desserts are not included.) Please show your military I.D. either active or retired. Veterans' freebies are on Sunday from 10 a.m. to midnight. Applebee's is on the northeast corner of Baseline and Gilbert roads near Trader Joe's. Telephone: (480) 545-4299. View www.applebee's.com for more locations/info.
The Outback Steakhouse may be from Australia but they love us Yanks. Go to the restaurant at 2687 S. Market Street just south of the San Tan Village Mall and due west of Office Max. Get a free Bloomin' Onion appetizer and a free Coke-product beverage. There are two days for Veterans: Sunday, Nov. 11 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Monday, Nov. 12 from 4 p.m. until 9:30 p.m.
Outback offers grilled steak, chicken, and seafood. I typically order the 6-ounce sirloin steak which is a mere $9.99. The steaks are carefully trimmed giving you the most melt-in-your-mouth meat for your money. Umm, I want another sirloin with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli.Telephone: (480) 782-7504. View www.outback.com for more locations/info.
Red Lobster, 3845 S. Gilbert Road (on the east side near Target, offers free appetizers on Sunday and Monday Nov. 11-12 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Telephone: 726-7911. View www.redlobster.com for more locations/info.
Coco's Bakery Restaurant also joins the parade. Coco's would give you a medal if they could. Since they can't pin a piece of pie onto your chest, they'll bring you a nice free slice when you eat at Coco's at 1525 W. Elliott Road near Priest Drive in Tempe. Go on Sunday, Nov. 11 between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. Telephone: (480) 496-5777. View www.cocosbakery.com for more locations/info.
Well, "off we go into the wild blue yonder." There are too many more places to include. The Disabled Veterans of America has a list of 40 participating businesses, and many fast-food restaurants appear on that list. Before you guzzle your gas to drive anywhere, call ahead and ask about their Veterans Day specials. Most events this year seem to span a few days starting as early as Sunday, Nov. 11 and reaching to Wednesday, Nov. 14. Heck, you could get some free goodies all over the East Valley.
I love the old saying: "If you don't ask, the answer is always no." Arizona loves its veterans, so never assume that the answer is "no." Always ask.
Well, go get'em. Geronimo!—as our paratroopers would yell. Jump out there and capture the rewards that you have so truly earned. Hooyah!

What Your Business Coach is Missing
By: Holly Chantal

Many of my clients come to me having already taken a course on branding or even worked with a coach to craft their brand. Usually this involves defining their target market, niche, and maybe even how they are unique in the market place.
These 3 things are certainly important to your brand, but there is a lot more to the story that you need to consider.
Your target market, your niche, and your differentiating factor all make up your brand position and it is beyond important to have these clearly defined for a few reasons:
- To keep you focused in your marketing and confidently share your message.
- Your target audience knows you are the best coach to serve them.
- You can become known for what you do.
Even with all of these things combined there is still one thing that will determine whether or not a prospect hires you and that is: Your Brand Perception.
And this is what most business coaches miss, because it's not ALL about having a clear message. You also need to be perceived as being the best credible option for your prospects to hire.
Holly Chantal is the founder of The Land of Brand™, a truly comprehensive and unique website design and branding company. And she is the creator of the revolutionary Branding Game™, which is a whole new way of looking at and experiencing brand creation.

|Electron and Confocal Microscope Unit
Electron and Confocal Microscope
A New Mite, dubbed "The Buckeye Dragon Mite", Osperalycus tenerphagus, "is the first species of this weird soil mite family to be described in over 40 years,"
The Electron and Confocal Microscope Unit provides collaborative assistance for BARC scientists to use high resolution imaging for their research programs. The ECM Unit is equipped with state of the art scanning and transmission electron microscopes and confocal microscope. All of the microscopes of the ECMU are now outfitted with digital cameras, eliminating the need for darkroom work and permitting any collaborating investigator to quickly use images generated to prepare figures for manuscripts and grants.
There is no charge to collaborating management units to work with the Electron and Confocal Microscopy Unit for short-term projects. However, scientists are expected to present samples ready for observation in the microscope and they must provide there own expendable items. For projects that might involve a long-term commitment or that might dominate the staff's time, then the ECMU will provide training and facilities for a member of the collaborator's staff. The Unit functions as a Beltsville Area core facility. Beltsville scientists who wish to use the Microscopes should contact:
Dr. Gary Bauchan: Director ECMU.

What We're Reading: Lending a Hand
Web Team
March 26, 2009
In July 2007, a blogger on the Web site TuDiabetes challenged people to write one word on their hand that best expressed their feelings about diabetes. The idea caught on. Soon, people were sending in photos of their hands and explaining why they picked their word, and the Word In Your Hand project was born.
The words chosen displayed a wide range of emotion: fear, hope, awareness, tricky, sad, fight. You can go to this site to see how it all got started and watch a video with some sample hand pictures.
In addition, OneTouch, the maker of blood glucose monitors, now has a Web site, diabeteshandprint.com, that is collecting hand pictures. For each picture submitted, OneTouch donates five dollars toward diabetes research. OneTouch is also featuring five hand-writers in a national ad campaign.
Do you have a word you think best expresses your feelings about diabetes? If so, think about taking some time to draw it on your hand and upload the picture at diabeteshandprint.com — you'll be supporting diabetes research when you do.

I came back to this tab after a couple good years of experience and updated it a little. It all should be in the right key now.

The Astronomical Clock is also known as the town hall clock. Situated in the Old Town Square, the Astronomical Clock is the most iconic and popular part of the square. The tower dates back to 1338 and the clock was installed in the early part of the 15th century.
Tower of the Astronomical Clock
The Astronomical Clock is unique because of the amazing features that it has PLUS the fact that it was made about 700 years ago, makes it even more amazing. Here are the features…
The Walk of the Apostles at Astronomical Clock
Every hour on the hour, there will be a show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures. Take a look at the video…
The Walk of the Apostles – Astronomical Clock
The show ends with a rooster crow, much to the amusement and delight of the audience.
Thereafter, a trumpeter will appear at the top of the tower to announce to the city (on all 4 sides of the tower), that it is the next hour has arrived.
Trumpeter of the Astronomical Clock
Astronomical Clock as as Calendar
Yes! It is true! Take a look at the picture here…
Calendar of the Astronomical Clock in Old Town Square Prague
If you notice, on the outer most ring, there are days inscribed there. In this way, each and every single day of the year is displayed on this clock! All this while the clock ticks away, tells the time, moves the hands of the clock and the discs on the calendar!
The Astronomical Clock tells 3 different times! – The Astronomical Dial
See Top Face – Astro Clock is able to tell 3 different times!
Firstly, the position of the golden hand over the Roman numerals on the background indicates the time in local Prague time. Secondly, the position of the Sun over the curved golden lines indicates the time in unequal hours. Last but not least, the position of the golden hand over the outer ring indicates the hours passed after sunset in Old Czech Time.
Can you believe it?! This clock must have been designed by a genius!
For your convenience, we have arranged for the best hotel deals in Prague right here!

You've just finished that killer campaign that you've been planning and building for months…
You've tested each element more times than you care to remember. Then…
… This email, from the sales director, arrives in your inbox:
"Hi, could you just send me copies of the emails that are going out tomorrow. "
What?... "Just send"!!! Like it's that easy!
It's not just a matter of just clicking 'Go' as every non-Eloqua person in our office thinks. Going to the 'test content and deliverability centre' 30 times is time consuming and,
no matter how hard you try, things get missed or you get distracted and forget where
you were (Yes, it's not just you, It happens to all of us).
You'd be surprised how many times we're asked to send tests of all emails in a canvas.
We have demanding clients… As they should be. In fact, we'd be worried if theyweren't.
Fortunately for you, we have a solution to this multiple test nightmare…
Now, you might think this a pain but stick with it, it savesus so much time and we honestly wonder how we managed before.
It's simple really. Build a test canvas, so it looks like this:
No logic, No shared lists/filters. Just a good, old fashioned, email blast tothe people that only want to see the emails and don't want to flow through thelogic.
Here's how:
This really is the best and most efficient way to test the content of multiple emails. Give it a goand let me know how you get on…

Proposition 46 updateJust around the corner is the election and the fight to oppose Proposition 46 has gained momentum. A recent poll determined that 50% are opposed to Proposition 46. We stand a good chance of winning this battle.
There is still much to be done before November 4, 2014. We must continue the campaign to notify everyone we know. Go to www.NOon46.com for all the material you need to inform your friends, family and patients. You can order the material and it will be in your office in a few days. Your county medical society office should also have the same material for pick-up. I just picked up a lawn sign for my office and house. My medical society even came to my office to deliver No on 46 material. Also, on the website, you can donate what you can to defeat Prop 46. No amount is too little. We have raised over 50 million dollars to mount to an already impressive media campaign. We have spent over 47 million so far so more donations are needed. You should be seeing the TV, billboard and radio commercials in your area. These are your dollars at work. The yes on Prop 46 people have raised almost 10 million dollars. They have been relatively quiet so expect a strong media campaign closer to election time.
Here are a few recent updates on Prop 46 from my medical society:
- The Los Angeles Times has joined with every other major paper in the state by taking a NO position on Prop. 46, including the San Francisco Chronicle, Contra Costa Times, Oakland Tribune, Sacramento Bee, San Jose Mercury News and the Los Angeles News Group.
- Are You Wearing Your "No on 46" Button?
- Latest Polling Numbers: No on Prop 46 = 50% // Yes on Prop 46 = 37% // Don't Know = 12%
- Need bumper stickers, "No on 46" buttons, "Ask Me" buttons, patient brochures in English and Spanish, lab coat cards in English and Spanish, posters, starter kits, office kits, hospital kits? Go to www.NOon46.com.
- Contribute to the campaign: www.NOon46.com or drop your contribution off at the medical society offices.
- Engage your colleagues, patients, friends, family, and neighbors: Prop 46: increased costs, losing your doctor, and threatening your privacy.
Your President,
Jeffrey Young, MD

Branching Out
Kanakuk Kamps has remained true to its roots while expanding beyond its base of Ozark operations.
Kanakuk Kamps
Branson, Mo.
Ages: 7-18
Cost: Prices vary by camp
It's tough to say which is busier for Kanakuk Kamps, summers or winters. Summer sees thousands of campers traveling to the shores of Table Rock Lake near Branson, Mo., for Kanakuk's brand of Christian athletic fun.
Road Warriors
From October through February Kanakuk directors hit the road for all points east and west in the continental United States to visit with their campers, recruit the next summer's staff and introduce Kanakuk to potential new campers.
Beginning in early August Kanakuk sends out packets to its contacts in cities and campuses with letters, postcards, posters and videos. The contacts set up the location and time and Kanakuk posts the information on its website (www.kanakuk.com).
Past campers are encouraged with gift incentives to bring friends who have never been to camp. The road show, which Kanakuk calls its Winter Trail, is a tried and true program consisting of 30 directors, five vans loaded down with staff and camper applications, AV equipment, and an interactive video.
Families and former staff will host and set the stage for the annual road show in their prospective cities by securing a venue, putting up posters in their communities, mailing invitations and making personal phone invitations.
The show has two components that operate simultaneously. Camp staff is typically recruited on campuses and universities where a Kanakuk counselor, often in conjunction with the local Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) or similar organizations, acts as a point person to get the word out.
Kanakuk will need to hire about 2,500 college counselors to ensure that campers' needs are met with the best-qualified staff possible.
"At some of our bigger, traditional schools, like Baylor and Texas A&M, we'll interview approximately 150 students, while at other campuses we'll interview only 10 or 20 students. We travel everywhere from North Carolina and Virginia to California," says Doug Goodwin, Kanakuk's executive director of administration.
The road show that aims for new counselors verses the show for the campers are very similar, though each has different goals in mind.
The goal for the camper show is to continue to build on the solid relationships the directors have developed with campers over the years.
"We'll do lots of family shows where we'll show up in a place like Dallas. All the Dallas kids will be there and we'll have a big Kanakuk party," says Goodwin. "We visit with our campers, meet their friends, answer any questions, tell them a little bit about Kamp and show the highlight video of the previous summer.
It doesn't take long… about 45 minutes to an hour at the max," says Goodwin.
Rubber Meets the Road
Mixing boys and girls is one thing, but finding counselors who mix with campers is another challenge that Kanakuk has successfully met.
With about a 50-60 percent return rate among its counselors, Kanakuk has a solid veteran staff. What that return rate means, however, is that of the 2,500 counselors hired, there are fewer positions available for talented newcomers found by Kanakuk on college campuses across the nation.
"We're a Christian sports camp so when we arrive at a college we're looking for someone who has a relationship with Christ and is growing in that relationship. We certainly don't expect someone to be perfect, but it's important for us to know where they are spiritually," says Goodwin. "They also have to like kids and have some athletic ability."
Goodwin adds that most counselors have participated in athletics at least in high school. In order to determine their ability levels Kanakuk has developed a scale where potential counselors rate themselves.
The scale is based on where the candidates participated in athletics — Division I, Division II, large high school or small private school.
"If you've run track at the University of Iowa you'd be classified a 10, or 9 for a Division II school and so on," says Goodwin. "Then we can compare the skills of the athletes and fit them to their positions. We go over their applications with the directors and evaluate the different areas on the application — sports, skills, spiritually, what terms they can work and so on. We rate them from 10-6 and start out by hiring all of our 10s and 9s and then look at our 8s."

Weeknight Veggies
This will be the first year we are not traveling to India, so we decided to treat ourselves to a full week in my home town of Santa Cruz. Our week long excursion was full of local sight seeing. Having grown up in Santa Cruz, I never felt the need to make the most of what Santa Cruz has to offer, but this week we soaked up all the natural beauty of this peaceful enclave. We walked the sunny path on West Cliff, overlooking the beach and endless blue ocean. We stopped by Steamer Lane and watched all the surfers. We toured through the sprawling campus of the University of Santa Cruz with it's winding paths, sky high redwoods and expansive ocean views. We walked along Pleasure Point where a lot of the filming forRead More

Hubby was huddled over the stove, dipping bits of bread into a yellow colored batter and then dropping them into simmering oil with the wonderful sizzling sound which can only mean we are about to eat freshly fried food.
My family took a look at the serving plate piled high with triangle shaped fried breads and said they looked a lot like French toast. The whole plate was gone in minutes. Hubby didn't even get a chance to sample them. This is when I learned that the cook should alwaysRead More
Flag Cake
This cake has become a new July 4th tradition in our family. In my family, our July 4th party is a triple celebration as it includes birthday parties for both my Dad and my sister. In the pasty we've always bought beautiful cakes. Last year however, I was inspired to make this beautifully festive cake and it was such a big hit that it has become our birthday cake of choice for our annual July 4th bash. You know it's a good cake when both the kids and the adults are hoping for seconds.
Don't be intimidated by the seemingly fancy decorations. It's surprisingly easy to bake and the taste is a crowd pleaser every time.Read More
Aloo Matar
W hen I was growing up, Every dinner included potato in some form or another. Steamed potato, baked potato, mashed potato; with gravy or without, you name it and we ate it. We had potato every night, in fact, my Dad still eats potato with steamed veggies and some kind of meat, every night of the week. So, to no great surprise, I got sick and tired of eating the same kind of potato. I put the potato on the back burner, in search of new and exciting flavors.
After I got married I got a lesson in Indian cooking and learned to cook aloo matar from my mother-in-law. It's a Punjabi dish of peasRead More
Vegetable Fried Rice
I have finally mustered up the motivation to lose the last bit of chub I've been holding onto since the India trip. I've been fully intending to lose the weight for a while now but last week it donned on me that our India trip was seven months ago and I could no longer put it off. What finally kick started me into action was the opportunity for Hubby and me to participate in a photo shoot in early July. A friend of a friend is working on a portrait book of "mixed-culture couples" (is that the right P.C. term?) and my friend contacted us about being in the book. Well, I didn't need to be asked twice about doing a professional photo shoot! Needless to say, I am now full of motivation to eat clean and get lean.Read More
Dinner Party Disasters
I love hosting dinner parties. I love to sit down, put together a guest list, plan out what to have for the evening and comb through cookbooks for inspirations and ideas. I even love finding new and creative ways to decorate the table. I put a whole lot of thought into turning just a dinner into an event.
But what do you do when you have a group coming over for dinner and your wonderfully planned dinner has just turned into a disaster? I've been asked this question in a couple of reader emails and I always assure them that I've had my fair share of entertaining disasters. In fact, this just happened to me last weekend.Read More
Cardamom Cookies
What is it about a plate piled high with cookies that is so hard to resist? I certainly can't resist. Apparently neither can my family, who ate four bags worth of cookies in two days when I brought them the results of last weeks recipe testing. I had just spent the previous week working to find just the right cookie for dipping into chai. I've actually been searching for the perfect chai cookie recipe for the past two years and I think I finally found it.
My fixation for the perfect chai cookie started on my first visit to India. We had been married in the US and flew to India for a wedding reception. Our month-long trip turned into my new familyRead More
Matar Paneer
In India, I would sit in the living room with Hubby and Mummy-ji, hunching over the coffee table while we peeled pods of peas and tried to see who could fill their bowl the fastest. I always lost. I had never peeled a pea pod in my life. Meanwhile Hubby and Mummy-ji would be onto their second bowl before I had even gotten halfway through my first. I could never put my finger on how a chore like peeling peas could become so fun, but Punjabis seem to be experts at turning chores into competitions.
Before last year's trip, I had never seen real peas in a pod. The only peas I've had exposure to is the kind you buy in the frozenRead More
Pav Bhaji
For Hubby's birthday, I decided to make him a dish he has been requesting for about the last 8 years of marriage. Why haven't I made this dish yet? Mainly because my sister-in-law makes such an amazing version, I never dreamed I could live up to his expectations.
This year however, he arrived home from his India trip with a full video of his sister making this recipe. That's when I realized it was time to give it a go.
To be honest, I have always been intimidated to try this dish. It has complex flavor and uses a variety of vegetables, so I figured itRead More

Out of the Darkness
September 2, 2009 - John Stack
In February of this year, a young girl from Schenectady High School took her own life. Over then next 4 months, three other girls in her class would also end their own lives prematurely. In Palo Alto two weeks ago, a 13 year old girl stepped in front of a southbound Caltrain. She was to begin 9th grade this week at Gunn High School. 2 other Gunn High students have taken their own lives near the same intersection by stepping in front of a train. The last time I saw my cousin Burt Allen alive was about 10 years ago. Our families were in North Carolina for a wedding. I hadn't seen Burt in a few years, since I attended a grad party for his older sister. He had grown up into an incredible young man. He was student government president, a star athlete in every sport he played. I went to a mall with him and his younger brother. We hung out for a couple hours. I remember telling my sister Brij how impressed I was with Burt. He seemed to have it all together. He was very enjoyable to hang out with, joked like a regular teenager, was able to converse easily with adults, and had an incredible drive. He grew up on a farm and learned to 'turkey call' with the best of them. He would enter competitions for best turkey caller, and often beat people more than twice his age. It was rare anyone within 10 years of his age were even in the competition. He would practice calling anywhere and everywhere. Out on his 4 wheeler or doing chores. Burton's mother is my aunt Mary. She is one of the most wonderful people you could ever meet. Before my time, my great grandfather was the glue in my family for 60 years. My brother Bill is the glue in my family. Mary is the glue of her family, with 11 siblings. She's not the oldest, or richest. But she is the one who everyone can turn to, and the one who would keep her head in the middle of a crisis. She lives for her kids and grandkids. 2001 was a tough year for me. My grandmother died at 90 in August. Then there was 9-11. Then my dad died a couple months later. But, earlier that year was the most shocking event for the family. Burt finished up his chores for the day. Got all of his homework finished up for the next day. Seemingly had a great day at school. That night he carroed out a plan (who knows how long he had planned it) and took his life. He was 14 years old. Why did this tragedy happen? Why did the multiple tragedies happen in Schenectady and Palo Alto? Could they have been prevented? Is there someone to blame? Suicide is very complex. Was the person being bullied at school and couldn't handle it? Did they not feel they could turn their fortunes around? Many have signs of depression and problems at school (like some of the girls in Schenectady). But Burt didn't. I can think of almost no one less likely than Burt to take his own life. Reading the blogs after a number of the above suicide stories, there are explanations and blame a plenty. It was the school's fault. It was the parent's fault. It was society's fault. It was because we have taken God out of the classrooms! I don't know what happened. Another close relative of mine also attempted suicide. She told me that she planned it for a year. She burned through her money for a year, and acted out in ways her normal self wouldn't do. She is today someone I think of as a very strong person. She tells me that the only reality is what is between your own two ears. Maybe it's the stigma that stops people from getting help. I remember when I was about 11 years old. A girl younger than me attempted suicide. Every time I saw her, I wondered about it. Being 11, I had no handle on this. I thought there must be something wrong with this girl. Why would she do this? She came and played in the park with us, and never showed any outside problems. No one ever talked to me about suicide or depression. Only recently has talking about depression and suicide been socially acceptable and not taboo as much as it was. My dad had a heart problem. A year or two before he died, he was terribly depressed, because he wasn't getting better. But, it took us kids a lot to convince him to see someone about the depression, as his generation didn't get depressed or talk to people about their problems. My cousins and other family members are participating in an AFSP (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) community walk to raise awareness of suicide prevention. They have a group called 'Team Burton'. Any money anyone can donate to this worthy cause would be greatly appreciated.On the link above, type in 'team burton' on the participant search area if you want to donate.

GUILDERLAND, N.Y. -- The Salvation Army kicked off its annual Red Kettle campaign Friday. Twenty-eight kettles will be placed throughout the Capital Region.
More than $147 million was donated through the campaign across the country last holiday season.
Organizers say the money goes a long way.
Major Giselle Acosta of Albany Area Services said, "When they put money in the kettle, it goes towards helping a family in need. All of the money stays locally here in Albany so all the money goes toward assisting families in need. And not just for Christmas. It helps us stretch it throughout the year for food pantry, soup kitchen, any other assistance we are able to provide."
The red kettles will be out through Christmas Eve.

Knoxville (WVLT) - Schools out and that means you're probably searching for someone to watch your child.
Whether it's everyday, or just now and then, it seems people are moving away from simply word of mouth to the word on the web.
But is it safe? Volunteer TV Stacy's McCloud tells us how some local moms are finding what they say are the best babysitters out there.
Three-year-old Brogan and his new friend Connor don't know it, but their friendship blossomed thanks to the internet!
Moms and dads are no longer logging on for simple parenting advice.
They're setting up play dates, ranking the best play grounds and pediatricians, and now finding the best babysitters!
Internet ads are the new resumes and multiple mommy opinions are the hottest references.
"One thing we know is mommies trust mommies," says KnoxMoms.com manager Barbie Shipley.
Message boards on the new local site KnoxMoms.com, are filled with posts of both those looking for a baby-sitter and those wanting to babysit!
"Mommy recommendations are the best," Fairly new to the area, with a three-year-old going strong, and another baby on the way, Ali James, site producer of KnoxMoms.com, knows how difficult it is to find a trusting sitter. "It's one thing to let someone come in and clean or work outside your home, but this is someone your child is going to get attached to."
It may sound scary, but with the immediate hits and endless opinions, James says as long as you are being smart, networking sites are the way to go.
James suggests that you always ask for a complete resume, thoroughly check many references, meet in person without the children, then set up a supervised play date.
If it's a teen, meet their parents, get a background check, and most importantly trust your instincts.
From now on, Tabatha Ogle says the net will be her babysitting guide. Speed attracted her to search online, multiple moms advice will keep her coming back. "Listening to and trusting a lot of moms opinions worked for me very well."
Easy, convenient, and seemingly the new word of mouth.
Places like KnoxMoms.com not only have open discussions about finding a babysitter, they also have helpful topics like how much to charge.
Knoxville Police Department does not recommend ever doing a background search online, they suggest going to your local police or the TBI.
Local police can only search the particular county you live in, so it would be more beneficial to contact the TBI.
You can download the form online at http://www.tbi.state.tn.us.
The cost is only $29. KPD also suggests that if you are advertising your babysitting services, you should do your own background check through the TBI and provide that for customers so they don't have to pay.

Blight crew hits city streets
Task force: Enforcement starts in the community
WATERBURY — The city's newly formed Blight Task Force is focusing its initial efforts on the Walnut-Orange-Walsh community, but says it needs neighbors' help to effect lasting change.
The blight-fighting team, which includes members of the city's police, fire, health and zoning departments, has deployed cleanup crews, conducted inspections and issued citations against offending landlords.

Circumcision Ban Off the Santa Monica Ballot
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 06-10-2011 - 3:39pm
The ban on circumcision in Santa Monica has been withdrawn, here are a couple of articles on it:
|Mon, 06-13-2011 - 3:16am
It would seem that the intactivists overplayed their argument by focusing on the Jewish tradition of circumcising all male babies at eight days. Their campaign took a very ugly anti-semitic twist with the appearance of a 'Superman' type comic called 'Foreskin Man' who takes on the Jewish rabbis and môhels (ritual circumcisers). His mission is rescuing babies and saving their foreskins from the clutches of these community operators who are portrayed as very dark and sinister characters. True Horror Comic stuff.
Unsurprisingly the more level headed of the anti circumcision campaigners (including the lady promoting the bill) saw how evil and racist this angle was and chose to distance themselves from it. Hence it was withdrawn. It wouldn't surprise me if some other crazy, intolerant, fanatic took up the bill and lent their name from it.
I've no quibble with people who are opposed to circumcision and have had friendly exchanges on this board with those who are prepared to respect my views as I do theirs, ie agreeing to differ. If they don't want to circumcise their boys that's fine - but please don't try legislate to prevent me from having my sons done. They may deny

It is one of the fairest, most well reasoned comments I've read on this issue from a man who should know!

Quarterback Joe Ganz threw for four touchdowns leading the University of Nebraska to a 47-24 victory over Western Michigan University in Lincoln, Neb. on Saturday night.
The Cornhuskers built a 34-10 halftime lead and never looked back, securing their 23rd consecutive home-opener victory for new head coach Bo Pelini in front of 84,485 fans at Memorial Stadium.
Nebraska jumped out to an early 17-0 lead in the first quarter, as the Broncos had trouble generating any offense in the early going. The Huskers marched down the field on their second offensive possession and scored, as senior running back Marlon Lucky ran the ball in from 14 yards out for the first touchdown of the evening. On their next possession, Ganz connected with tight end Mike McNeill on a 3-yard touchdown catch.
Down 14-0, Bronco running back Brandon West fumbled the ball on the very first play of the next offensive series. Nebraska made good on the turnover, as Husker kicker Alex Henery booted his first of four field goals on the day to open the lead to 17-0. Incredibly, all of Henery's field goals were from 44 yards out.
Nebraska's defense could not contain the Western Michigan offense for long, as senior quarterback Tim Hiller led the Bronco offense down the field on the next series. Two 15-yard penalties by Nebraska cornerback Anthony West assisted the offense and the Brown and Gold made the game 17-7 early in the second quarter. Hiller hooked up with tight end Branden Ledbetter on a 3-yard touchdown catch to put the Broncos on the board.
The hometown Huskers came right back however, scoring on a long 61-yard pass play from Ganz to wide receiver Nate Swift. After a failed WMU drive, Nebraska took advantage of the great field position and put another field goal through the goal posts for a 27-7 lead.
On the ensuing kickoff, freshman Aaron Winchester put Western Michigan in Husker territory, running the kick back 57 yards. Starting the drive at the Nebraska 43 yard line, WMU drove to the 1, but were unable to punch it in on third down. Freshman kicker John Potter made his first career field goal from 19 yards out to cut the Husker lead to 27-10.
With 3:02 remaining in the half, WMU's defense once again struggle to slow down the Husker offense. Ganz completed his third touchdown pass just before the half, giving the Huskers a big 34-10 lead at the half.
The Huskers opened the scoring again in the second half. Another field goal by Henery nearly halfway through the third quarter extended the lead to 37-10. WMU fought back on the next drive, with Ledbetter and Hiller connecting on a 50-yard catch to move the Brown and Gold to the Nebraska 30 yard line. Junior running back Brandon West capped it off, grabbing two catches out of the backfield followed by a 1-yard run to complete the six play, 80-yard drive.
Following punts by both sides, Ganz connected on a 55-yard pass to tight end Dreu Young, followed by a 19-yard completion to Lucky, giving him his fourth touchdown pass on the evening. The score gave Nebraska a large 44-17 lead late in the third quarter.
The Brown and Gold offense then began another long second-half drive, highlighted by a pass and catch from Hiller to wide receiver Schneider Julien for a 50 yard gain. Hiller then found sophomore wide receiver Juan Nunez on fourth down, connecting in the end zone for a touchdown. Nunez's second career touchdown made the game 44-24 early in the fourth quarter.
The Bronco defense then stepped up in a big way, as senior safety Louis Delmas intercepted Ganz and returned the ball 33 yards. Delmas led the defense with 11 tackles on the day.
With some momentum on their side, the offense moved the ball closer to the goal line. The drive, which had been successful, ended abruptly as Hiller threw an interception near the endzone for the second Bronco turnover of the day.
The Broncos forced Ganz into another interception late, but couldn't capitalize and following Henery's fourth field goal of the evening, the score was final.
Even though the final score dictates that Nebraska had the game in-hand throughout the evening, the Broncos certainly matched the Huskers in the second half and even outplayed them at times.
The offensive line held strong throughout the entire game and gave Hiller and the Bronco passing attack enough time to deliver on several big passing plays. Even though senior receiver Jamarko Simmons was held in check with just two catches, several others stepped up including Julien (5 catches, 85 yards) and Nunez (3 catches, 1 touchdown). West also made seven grabs out of the backfield on Saturday, proving that the WMU passing game should be one to recon with this season.
Hiller opened up his 2008 campaign in a big way, throwing for 342 yards, two touchdowns and just one interception while going 30-for-49 in pass attempts.
Also through the air, Ledbetter was clearly one of the bright spots for the Broncos on the day. He hauled in nine catches for 123 yards and one touchdown. It was the third game in his career in which he earned at least 100 yards. Ledbetter was one yard shy of matching his career high.
In total, WMU was able to nearly match Nebraska in several offensive areas. The Broncos 342 yards through the air was only three shy of the Cornhuskers 345-yard mark. The Brown and Gold kept the turnovers to a minimum, with only one fumble loss and one interception. This matched the number of turnovers Nebraska had, with Ganz throwing two picks.
The bright spot that may go overlooked for the Broncos was the special teams, where Western Michigan saw both their kicker and punter compete in collegiate action for the first time. Potter made good on all four of his kicks and freshman punter Ben Armer got all of his punts downfield against a tenacious Big 12 Conference opponent. Winchester's 57-yard kick return in the second quarter set up the Broncos perfectly for Potter's field goal.
The defense also picked up the intensity in the second half, forcing Ganz into two interceptions and containing the Husker offense to just 13 points. WMU outscored Nebraska in the second half 14-13.
The biggest concern for the Broncos in their opening contest was the running game. As a team, WMU rushed for only eight total yards of offense. Of the 19 total first downs the Broncos earned, none of them came out of the backfield.
Western Michigan will take their game-earned experience against Nebraska and bring it home, as they will face off against MAC West Division rival Northern Illinois University on Saturday. If the Broncos kick off their home schedule with a victory, they will have their work cut out for them.
The Huskies finished 2007 with only two wins and are in rebuilding mode. But first-year head coach Jerry Kill has NIU hungry and eager to improve. They nearly knocked off Big Ten Conference opponent the University of Minnesota. The Golden Gophers scored a touchdown with just 22 seconds remaining to secure the 31-27 victory over the Huskies.
Kickoff for Saturday's contest is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Waldo Stadium. Before the game, WMU will celebrate CommUniverCity night.
