Matrixx Initiatives Files Presentation Regarding Its Offer To Acquire ProPhase Labs
SKILLMAN, N.J., Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Matrixx Initiatives, Inc., the maker of the Zicam® cold, sinus and allergy line of products, today announced that it has filed a presentation with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in connection with its revised offer to acquire ProPhase Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPH). Separately today, Matrixx announced it has increased its offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of ProPhase by 14.3% to $1.60 per share, and has sent a letter to the ProPhase Board of Directors.
Matrixx believes that its revised all-cash offer, which is not contingent on financing, is highly attractive to ProPhase shareholders, as it provides them with compelling upfront and certain value relative to a difficult, uncertain and highly speculative multi-year turnaround program recently outlined by ProPhase's management. Matrixx's presentation outlines the significant challenges ProPhase faces by remaining a standalone entity, including:
- ProPhase is in a Vulnerable Market Position
- ProPhase lacks scale to effectively compete in the highly competitive Cough Shortening / Immune Boosting market.
- ProPhase's most comparable competitors generate 3.5x more in annual revenue and are backed by owners with substantial resources.
- ProPhase has an Unsustainable Financial Model
- ProPhase continues to experience substantial losses due to its financial model.
- Greater than 80% of ProPhase's net sales are spent on operating expenses.
- Cumulative losses from operations since 2009 amount to $12.9 million. ProPhase's stock price has declined 73.6% since June 2009, when current management assumed it role.
- ProPhase has Placed Shareholders in a Tenuous Position
- ProPhase has received a Non-Compliance notice from NASDAQ for failing to meet the minimum shareholders' equity requirement for continued listing on the Global Market.
- ProPhase received a notice of de-listing as recently as July 2011.
- The lack of analyst coverage limits any ongoing interest from the investor community.
The presentation is being filed with the SEC and will be available at www.sec.gov.
Kirkland & Ellis LLP is acting as legal counsel and Sawaya Segalas & Co., LLC is acting as financial advisor to Matrixx.This press release and Matrixx's proposal constitute a preliminary non-binding indication of interest to acquire all of the outstanding shares of ProPhase Labs, Inc., and are not intended to create any legally binding obligations.

The War Against Non-Christians
By now, I'm sure y'all have heard about the so-called War on Christmas. Because, you know, Christians in America are an oppressed group. Unlike Jews, Muslims, pagans of various stripes, or atheists. It's not like their God is in the pledge that children have to speak every day… oh, wait, it is. Well, it's not like the majority of their religious holidays are national holidays… oh, wait, they are. Uh. Er. They're oppressed, really! I mean, prayer in school has been outlawed, evolution is taught in science class, the god-given commandments are not allowed to be in public buildings, and now… now they have to put up with "PC" phrases such as "Happy Holidays" and "Season's Greetings" being said alongside "Merry Christmas". If this continues, people of other faiths (or lack of faith) might start thinking that their beliefs are equal to those of the God Warriors!
I, myself, became a casualty of this vicious war when I was dealing with a credit card issue just a few days ago.
I was on the phone with the representative and after we had resolved everything she said, "Ha… Merry Christmas."
I replied, "And a Happy Holidays to you." Truth be told, what I really had wanted to say was, "Where the hell do you get off assuming that I celebrate Christmas?" But, really, it might not have been the rep's fault. From the way she started saying something else, it sounds like it's company policy. And that, my friends, is just not cool. Continue reading

New York designer makes cloaking fashionable
Adam Harvey, a New York designer and artist who last graced the pages of DVICE for making an anti-paparazzi device, will launch an entire line of cloaking clothing next week in London. Called "Stealth Wear," it's a reaction to the numerous ways we can be electronically tracked in our daily lives.
The collection includes many items like the "anti-drone hoodie," which uses a metalized material that will make it impossible for drones to use thermal imaging to spot you.
It also includes a cell phone pouch that blocks your phone signal so it can't be tracked by other devices that might be used by law enforcement agencies. It even includes the "XX-Shirt," which has material that will "protect your heart from X-ray radiation."
"Military technology is coming home from the war," Harvey says. "These pieces are designed to live with it, to cope with it--to live in a world where surveillance is happening all the time."
The clothing line, of course, seems to be more statement than anything. Though, if it works as it supposedly does, I'd love to see the face of an NSA agent if someone walked through security with an anti-X-ray t-shirt on.

Keeping up with one's oral care is one of the forgotten aspects for treating patient with HIV. But oral candidiasis is a major issue for people whose immune systems are hampered in some way.
That's why Case Western Reserve University conducted a comprehensive study on the matter. The information appears in the journal PLOS Pathogens.
The goal of the study was to examine the mouths of people who are HIV positive and compare them to people with healthy mouths. The bacteria were analyzed using high-throughput gene sequencing.
The bacteria were the same for both sides. Oral fungi, however, was distinct for people with HIV and healthy people.
The Candida family of fungi was much more prevalent among the HIV patients. Pichia was something seen in higher levels among the healthy people.
The theory was that one fungus had a way of suppressing the other. To test this theory, Pichia was grown in a liquid while the fungus was filtered out. The Pichia managed to stop Candida and other disease-causing fungi to stop growing. Therefore, it makes sense that oral thrush is often associated with the HIV infection.The research was confirmed after tests on mice were conducted.

Keep It Pumping
Performing Preventative Maintenance Helps Prevent Pump Downtime
While it's often the most neglected part of the owner's manual, preventative maintenance checks and services can thwart major problems down the pipeline. Big problems tend to take longer and cost more. Performing some simple tasks on a regular basis will help keep a pump's suction strong and the impeller rotating. The following steps will help you get the preventative process started.
Once A Day
Start each day with a pump inspection to ensure it's ready to run. Checking the quality and level of engine oil ranks among the most important daily checks. An insufficient amount of oil can cause serious problems and ultimately decrease the life of an engine. If the oil level is below what is recommended by the manufacturer, oil should be added until the specified level is reached.
Examine the engine exterior, as well, and look underneath it for evidence of oil or fuel leaks. If a fluid is dripping, inspect the area for any parts that may need to be tightened or replaced. Move on to check the rest of the machine for broken bolts or nuts or other loose parts.
Checking the condition of the air filter is another important daily maintenance practice that can prevent significant damage. A clogged, wet, dirty or damaged air filter can lead to a loss in power and shorten the life of an engine by allowing dirt or water into sensitive areas.
Inspect the condition of the hoses regularly, as well. If they are worn, frayed or have any holes, the air gaps will likely cause the pump to lose suction. Patch any frayed areas, seal leaking joints and ensure the gasket connecting the hose and pump is tight. A severely worn hose should be replaced.
The most important thing to remember for daily maintenance is priming the pump before starting. Running a pump dry will damage the seals, which can start a domino effect of problems. When it comes to self-priming pumps, remember: Just add water. The term "self-priming" may be considered a misnomer – the operator must add water to the pump each time it is used. The pump will then take over, build pressure within the volute and begin discharging.
One more thing to check before starting a pump is the area where it will be placed. Ensure the pump is on level ground. If it is set on a slope, the fluids will not be evenly distributed, which will affect oil lubrication and fuel levels. Position the pump away from combustible materials, such as dried leaves and brush, since gasoline engines and mufflers get very hot and could possibly spark and ignite the material.
The U.S.D.A. Forest Service requires a spark arrester on pumps operating in a dry or wooded area. Although it's rarely a problem, a clogged filter on a spark arrester could prevent the device from operating as intended. Should it need to be cleaned, wait until the engine has cooled, then carefully use a wire brush to unclog the screen. Before reinstalling it, check for any breaks or holes in the screen, which indicates that it needs to be replaced.
Counting the Hours
Once the pump has been readied to start the day, get right to work. Remember, though, that other maintenance checks and services will still need to be done — just on a less frequent basis. Generally, quality pump engines can be expected to last a thousand hours or more. Following recommended maintenance schedules can increase that length of time.
A few things need to be checked a couple of times a month, other items even less frequently. For instance, clean the air filter semimonthly by pulling out the paper filter, when present, and tapping it against a hard surface to remove excess dirt. Never use an air compressor to clean the filter because it can tear holes in the paper medium. If the unit uses a foam filter, pull it out to wash with soap and water. Add some oil to the filter and squeeze out any excess before reinstalling it.
Check the spark plugs semimonthly, as well, by looking for damage or excessive carbon build-up. Fouled spark plugs can cause a decrease in power and poor starting performance. Clean spark plugs coated with a considerable amount of carbon with a wire brush or spark plug cleaner. If the buildup seems excessive, it may be a sign of a worn engine, which could be caused by a broken piston ring, an incorrect fuel-air mixture or bad carburetor, weak spark voltage, a lack of air cleaner maintenance or an intake or exhaust valve that's not seating properly. Check the electrode gap on the spark plugs, as well, ensuring it still meets the manufacturer's specifications, and adjust as needed. Replace any spark plugs with cracked porcelain immediately.
Additionally, it is important to clean and inspect the fuel strainer and fuel filter every month on a pump equipped with these. Contaminated fuel that is not removed can lead to trouble with engine starts. Replacing the fuel line and carburetor is expensive, so it is essential to prevent unnecessary damage caused by contaminated fuel.
On an annual basis, inspect the pump for dirty, broken or misaligned parts. Such parts can cause problems with the engine or pump components. Thoroughly inspecting the entire machine gives the most comprehensive view of what needs to be cleaned and repaired.
Dusty conditions typically shorten the length of time between regular services since extreme dust can clog filter elements or contaminate fuel and oil. Adjust regular maintenance schedules as needed to account for less-than-optimal conditions.
Following specific timelines in the owner's manual will keep maintenance services from being neglected. All in all, preventative maintenance will help a pump achieve its full life expectancy — possibly more — and provide a better return on investment.

AOPA President Phil Boyer spent the
lion's share of Saturday's general session on the status of the
user fees for General Aviation debate. Despite recent victories for
GA, Boyer warned that the fight isn't over yet. "We're in the
Terminal Area, we are within site of the airport, but there is some
convective weather ahead, and that's probably the best way to
describe where we are right now."
After displaying several anti-GA advertisements currently found
on airport terminal televisions, airline seatbacks, and newspapers
throughout the country, Boyer shared counter-ads produced by the
Alliance for Aviation Across America (AAAA) and funded by the AOPA
and NBAA. These responses highlight DOT studies that claim most
delays are caused by weather and the commercial airlines
themselves. "The airlines would have you believe that General
Aviation is the cause for all the delays at the major airports,"
explained Boyer. "In fact, we're only 4% of the traffic at the top
10 airports."
Speaking about General Aviation's most recent victory in the
House of Representatives, Boyer said that "on that side of Capitol
Hill, they passed the House bill that we support by 267 to 151."
H.R. 2881, or the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2007, passed on
September 20th with no mention of user fees, but instead includes a
small tax increase on AvGas and a slightly larger tax increase on
turbine fuel.
The Senate Commerce Committee had previously passed its own bill
which included user fees for turbine aircraft and a 100% increase
on the turbine fuel tax and eliminated the only aviation tax paid
by the airlines. "In effect, the Senate Finance Committee rejected
their ideas, changed the taxes keeping the airline fuel tax
… and kept our GA taxes at a reasonable level."
In its current state, however, the bill still contains a $25
user fee for turbine aircraft. "We hope to be able to take care of
that in a different kind of way," said Boyer, who hopes for an
amendment to remove the user fee during a full Senate vote.
Afterwards, a Conference committee will bring both bills together
and send the finalized bill to the White House to be vetoed or
signed by the President.
A quick and informal poll of
Saturday's general session audience by Andy Cebula, AOPA Executive
Vice President of Government Affairs, revealed most attendees who
utilized the Lockheed Martin Automated Flight Service Station
system in the last six months have had problems. "We know it,"
responded Cebula, "and we have been doing a great deal of work on
this because it has been a real frustration for us as an
organization to see how this has just fallen apart and not really
served your needs.
According to Cebula, modernization of the old AFSS system --
which utilized 1970s technology -- would result in $2 billion in
savings. "If we would have stayed with this current system, our
fear is that you'd be paying about $9 a gallon, and that would look
just like Europe."
Despite problems with the current FSS system, Cebula
acknowledged that outsourcing was still the right decision, and he
assured members that the AOPA would continue to monitor and demand
action to correct outstanding issues, saying that the AOPA has
been, and will remain, in communication with the FAA and Lockheed
Martin on a daily basis. One of the biggest problems still facing
pilots is lack of local area knowledge by briefers.
To help pilots, AOPA introduced a briefing tips card that can
help pilots navigate their way through the new system to find a
briefer in their area. The cards were handed out at AOPA Expo and
will be made available in the November issue of AOPA Pilot and the
December issue of AOPA Flight Training.
Acting in her new role of AOPA Executive Vice President of
Communications, Karen Gebhart introduced AOPA's new web site, which
went live on September 19th. The completely redesigned site
utilizes newer web technologies for richer content and takes into
consideration the many suggestions offered by AOPA members,
including more non-advocacy news coverage, better organization, and
improved readability.
Also new for AOPA members is a whole new safety seminar from the
Air Safety Foundation, presented during the general session by ASF
Executive Director Bruce Landsberg. The new seminar, which made its
debut at AOPA Expo 2007, discusses the top five ways GA pilots end
up in fatal accidents, and what you can do to avoid making the same
The ASF also offers a new online course for owners and operators
of aging aircraft. This interactive course discusses factors that
affect the rate of aging, such as storage, use, abuse, and
maintenance. It also offers suggestions for proactive inspection
and maintenance practices, and explains the difference between
chronological and true age. More information on both of these
offerings can be found on the Air Safety Foundation website.

Versatility from Neil Young when we're expecting him to sound like Neil (not Eddy, Buddy or Ralf und Florian)is a mixed blessing at best.
This great "Oldie but Goodie" needs to be in your collection if you're a fan as are my son and I. Great listening.

The UC Bookstores Upgrade Systems
As in any good business operation, the UC Bookstores is upgrading its' systems in order to improve the customer experience. These improvements will cover several areas. The first improvements will be seen in the online shopping experience. The enhancements will include improved navigation, as well as the ability for guest check out. There will also be an improved method for new product images to be loaded to the site, which will provide a more robust assortment of general merchandise on the website at uc.edu/bookstore.
Another exciting component involves the point-of-sale system in the stores. The Main UC Bookstore in Tangeman University Center will be a pilot store for the new point-of-sale system. This will include mobile POS, which will give the store the ability to process transactions on the sales floor rather than at a cash register counter. In its final configuration, it will also allow an easy way to complete transactions outside of the store, whether it be for buyback, author events, a tent sale, and more.
Campus Services

- I love to crochet.
- I'm a lay pastor.
Conference & Event Services
5th Annual Campus Services Showcase a Success
Five-hundred ninety-four (594) UC employees attended the 5th Annual Campus Services Showcase. Held on May 1, this interactive exposition focused on the wide range of products and services provided by Campus Services. The event included culinary demonstrations by executive chefs from Caminetto at Kingsgate Marriott and Mick & Mack's Café, a Classic Fare Catering culinary showcase, and free samples and wares provided by Campus Services partners from GBEX (office supplies) and licensed vendors. Additionally, attendees were able to win great prizes from scratch off cards, receive mini-massages from the Campus Recreation massage therapists, and interact with colleagues.
Like last year, a Silent Auction was held in conjunction with the event for the Larry Elsasser Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship was established in 2010 by Campus Services in memory of Larry Elsasser, who served as director of TUC for 30 years. More than $1,000 was raised at the Showcase for the scholarship fund, which awards at least one $1,000 scholarship annually to a deserving student employee. This year, the scholarship will be awarded on National Student Day on Tuesday, October 14. For more information, go to the Larry Elsasser Memorial Scholarship web page.
Take a New Look at CES
The staff of Conference & Event Services (CES) is working hard to spread the word about the comprehensive array of event planning and execution services they offer. They recently met with the business administrators on West Campus and executive directors on the Medical Campus and are also holding individual meetings with colleagues in colleges and departments throughout campus. Take a new video look at CES.
The focus of CES is to develop customizable service packages to accommodate all event needs. Additionally, they have recently rolled out a wedding guide, focusing on young alumni. Click here to learn about weddings at UC.
Housing Services
Morgens Hall Recognized
The Housing staff was recently awarded the 2014 Student Housing Business Innovator Award for Best Renovation of an Existing Dorm or University Housing by Student Housing Business for Morgens Hall. StudentHousingBusiness.com is the leading news and information portal for the industry and offers a variety of ways to communicate messages or services to the industry. Each year, Student Housing Business celebrates the best and brightest in the industry through the Innovator Awards competition.
Additionally, HGC Construction and the Morgens Hall project received an Eagle Award of Excellence from the Ohio Valley Chapter of the Associated Builders & Contractors at their Excellence in Construction awards banquet. This is the highest award given out by the Associated Builders & Contractors.
Housing at Capacity for Fall
Demand for on-campus housing has reached a record high, due to more students extending their campus residency and a record-setting fall 2014 freshmen class. As of May 2, the Housing Application was closed for all students and a wait list was created. To accommodate this record demand for on-campus housing, H&FS has secured 400 beds at University Park Apartments and 223 beds at Campus Park Apartments.
Parking Services
Electric Car Charging Station Installed
In celebration of Earth Day, Parking Services recently partnered with the Office of Planning, Design, and Construction, and Environmental Studies capstone students to unveil UC's first electric car-charging station in Lot 13 near Wherry Hall on the Medical Campus. As a volunteer effort, a group of 10 environmental studies students landscaped the area around the charging station.
Currently, plans are underway to install a second charging station in the Clifton Court Garage in late June. These charging stations can simultaneously charge two cars at 240 volts/unit and charge a vehicle 100% within eight hours.
New Garage Lighting
New lighting was installed in Corry Garage and completed in February. New lighting will be installed in the Calhoun Garage starting mid-May and will be completed mid-July. The installation of new lighting in Campus Green Garage is expected to be completed by the end of July.
A Winter to Forget
Thanks to the parking maintenance staff members who are responsible for cleaning the drives, lots, and garages on the Uptown campuses, students, faculty/staff, and visitors were able to safely travel around campus this winter. This small, yet dedicated crew has tracked more than 812 additional hours maintaining 100 acres of parking during the cold, snowy winter months. They used 904 tons of salt, enough to fill 38 tractor trailers, which is 147% more than last year.
Trademarks & Licensing
Ohio Licensing Consortium Meeting Held at UC
On April 11, the staff of Trademarks & Licensing (T&L) hosted the second meeting of the Ohio Licensing Consortium (OLC) at the Campus Recreation Center. The T&L staff worked with colleagues from Ohio State and Miami University to form the Ohio Licensing Consortium, to provide a resource of expertise for licensing professionals across the State. The OLC currently has 30 members representing 23 institutions throughout the State of Ohio, and 17 members attended the meeting and received a brief tour of campus. Topics discussed at the meeting included the current state of the college's licensing programs, the growth of licensing, and the collective promotion of Ohio colleges. After the on-campus meeting, the group visited the offices of Vesi Inc., a Cincinnati-based licensee, where they learned about issues facing collegiate licensees.
#Hottest College in America T-Shirt Design Contest
A design contest for the first official fan t-shirt is happening now through June 30. The winner will receive a $250 gift card to the UC Bookstores, where the shirt will be sold this fall. For details, visit the contest web page.
Campus Recreation
Rec Rewards Results
In the first two months of the Rec Rewards program that kicked off in February, there has been a 48% increase in faculty/staff Campus Recreations memberships. More than 700 reimbursements have been awarded. In partnership with Human Resources, the UC Rec Rewards program is designed to encourage health improvements across the university. Benefits-eligible UC employees who are Campus Recreation members are now eligible for a reimbursement of $26.66 every month, if they use Campus Recreation facilities at least eight days per month.

Intramural Sports and R.E.C. Kids Camps Continue to Grow
Intramural basketball registrations were up 8.04% from FY13 and 4-on-4 volleyball registrations were up 33.33% from last year. Outdoor soccer hit 100% capacity. Two new sports were introduced this year – indoor 4-on-4 flag football (35 teams) and kickball (20 teams).
The R.E.C. Kids Camps & Clubs continue to thrive. The President's Day Club registrations were up 10% this year and the Spring Break Camp reached 100% capacity for third year in a row. Registration for Summer Camp is currently 100% full with 831 anticipated campers participating June 2-August 8.
Food Fact Friday Events at the CRC
Beginning in August 2013, the staff of Campus Recreation hosted Food Fact Friday interactive events at both facilities. A nutritionist met with individuals to educate them on the importance of knowing metabolism rates and nutrition services available through Campus Recreation. Last summer, nutrition services were restructured to include resting metabolic testing, nutritional assessment, and meal planning, enabling Campus Recreation staff to offer a more tangible and measurable service. The cost of the program was reduced and includes student pricing, resulting in a 200% growth in participation from last year to this year.
Large Swim Meets Held at the CRC
The GTAC Disability Open returned to the Campus Recreation Center's Aquatics Complex on May 17 and 18. The Disability Open is hosted by the Greater Toledo Aquatic Club (GTAC) and UC Campus Recreation, in collaboration with U.S. Paralympics. All sessions are free and open to the public. GTAC Head Coach Keith Kennedy, an alumnus of UC, started the meet 11 years ago. The Disability Open was created to encourage swimmers with disabilities to compete in the Paralympic movement. Competition is very keen, and many swimmers who started out at the GTAC meet have gone on to join their countries' elite swimming ranks. The USA Swimming Western Zone Swim Camp was over Memorial Day Weekend, bringing 58 swimmers to campus in a variety of age groups.
Food Services
Year One Results of MarketPointe Composting
In the first year of implementing a pilot composting program, more than 80,000 pounds of waste has been collected, composted, and repurposed into area gardens and landscaping. The composting program is a collaboration with UC Sustainability and Facilities Management and implemented with grant assistance from the Ohio EPA.
The Process
In addition to the compostable waste collected from MarketPointe Dining Center production, UC Sustainability staff transport coffee grounds from the campus cafés and Starbucks locations to the storage area in MarketPointe, where all the waste is combined for pickup.
The Food Services team weighs organic waste during production. This practice helps make sure organic waste created during production is sorted and sent properly. Weighing waste during production also helps decrease food costs, saving money and increasing efficiency. Food Services staff remove all plastic items from the waste stream. Staff from composting partner Future Organics pick up waste three times per week, and deliver it to a local composting facility.
Signage throughout the facility encourages students to help with sorting, asking them to remove any non-organic items from their plates at the dish return area. Through this system, both pre-consumer and post-consumer organic waste is composted. Pre-consumer waste is measured to increase efficiency in food costs.
The Benefits
- Reducing waste sent to landfills and UC's overall carbon footprint;
- Decreasing food costs from weighing waste during production; and
- Contributing to UC's overall sustainability master plan, resulting in UC being chosen by The Princeton Review for four consecutive years as one of the top "green" schools in the country.
Healthy Eating Continues to be Focus of University Dining
Over the years, University Dining has implemented a plethora of programs designed to offer and encourage healthy eating options, with a concentrated focus on nutritional content and portion control, benchmarking, and implementation of special programs. Highlights of this effort include:
- Tray-less dining for more than five years to help portion control;
- Nutritional content posted throughout service stations and comprehensively at uc.edu/food;
- Freshly prepared food with single serve portions;
- Enhanced fruit options and expanded salad bar;
- Made-to-order stir fry and enhanced vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options;
- Additional nutritional special events;
- Monthly food focus groups;
- Partnership program with Campus Recreation for free sessions with a Rec Center Dietician on a referral basis (approximately 15 students have been referred); and
- Individualized chef-student meetings to discuss special dietary needs.
Greens to Go Opens in TUC
Greens to Go recently opened in the TUC Food Court at the KumaNeko Sushi location. Greens to Go features fresh and healthy made-to-order salads.

What Happened to Welfare?
Although welfare reform pushed more single mothers into the labor force, there is no consensus about how this change affected their children. Both President Clinton and Governor Thompson claimed that children were better off when their mothers went to work, but as DeParle shows, these claims were often based on anecdotes that did not withstand close scrutiny. DeParle also observes that Angie, Jewell, and Opal all had working mothers, and that the same was true for most of their boyfriends. Yet Angie was the only one who worked steadily.
Recent experimental studies support DeParle's skepticism about the claim that putting single mothers to work will be good for their children. In these experiments families headed by poor single mothers were randomly allocated to either a "treatment" or a "control" group. Mothers in the treatment group were helped to find a job and also given various combinations of wage supplements, child care, and health benefits if they continued to work. Such benefits were not offered to the control group, but some members of the control group managed to get similar benefits from other government programs. Nonetheless, mothers in the "treatment" group worked more often than those in the "control" group.
After reviewing the results of these experiments, however, DeParle, along with other analysts, concludes that there were few differences between the children in the two groups. DeParle cites evidence from several work programs that young children of poor unmarried mothers do better in formal day care than when they stay at home. There is also some evidence that when such children reach adolescence they get into more trouble if their mothers work, and are better off when their mothers stay home. In most cases, however, there is little evidence that maternal employment has any effect, either positive or negative. As DeParle says, what is most striking is "the long list of things that don't seem to change when mothers leave welfare for work." This list "includes parental control, cognitive stimulation in the home, family routines, and harsh parenting."11
DeParle argues that the problems of the men, women, and children in the three households he observed were partly attributable to the fact that none of them had "a functioning dad and the emotional and financial support that a second parent can bring." To support this argument he cites the work of two sociologists, Sara McLanahan and Gary Sandefur, whose analysis of five different surveys showed that
children who grow up in a household with only one biological parent are worse off, on average, than children who grow up in a household with both of their biological parents, regardless of the parents' race or educational background, regardless of whether the parents are married when the child is born, and regardless of whether the resident parent remarries…. [They] are twice as likely to drop out of high school, twice as likely to have a child before age twenty, and one and a half times as likely to be "idle"—out of school and out of work—in their late teens and early twenties.12
Although the existence of such differences is undeniable, there is no consensus about what causes them. The advantages enjoyed by children who live with both biological parents appear to be partly economic. When McLanahan and Sandefur compared children raised by both biological parents to children raised by a lone mother, the difference in their chances of finishing high school, attending college, or having a child while still a teenager was cut in half if the lone mother had the same income as the couple when their children were sixteen years old.
But money is not the entire story. If a divorced mother remarries, her family's income usually rises to about the same level as that of other married couples. Nonetheless, her children's prospects do not seem to improve. Indeed, her children may actually fare worse than the children of mothers who remain unmarried. One reason seems to be that the benefits of the stepfather's income are offset by the psychological costs of having him in the house. Few children regard a stepfather enthusiastically. Most are reluctant to accept his authority, and many are jealous of his relationship with their mother. Stepfathers often reciprocate in kind, creating a vicious circle of resentment and recrimination. When Angie was doing badly in school and her mother hired a tutor, Angie liked him. When her mother married the tutor, however, Angie resented his presence and moved back to her father's house, where she got far less parental attention. Jewell and her siblings got on so badly with their stepfather that they tried to poison him. Because unmarried mothers select stepfathers more carefully than live-in boyfriends, boyfriends can be even more of a problem.
DeParle makes a carefully hedged case for the benefits of marriage:
McLanahan didn't argue that all fatherless families would be better off with their particular father in the home; were he, say, violent or drunk, things could be worse with him nearby than gone. But on average at all tiers of society, having a father helps.
Unfortunately, conclusions about the average effect of having a father do not tell us much about whether any of Angie or Jewell's children would have been better off if their mothers had married their fathers. Angie and Jewell lived on the lowest tier of society, and they had little chance of meeting, much less marrying, someone likely to become an "average" father. When DeParle's story ends, Angie, Jewell, and Opal had produced thirteen children with seven fathers, only one of whom was still living with his child. None of the others was paying child support, and two were serving long prison sentences. Judging from what DeParle tells us, the odds that marriage would have made any of the six "missing" men into a responsible, loving father seem low, although Angie might disagree about Greg.
Nonetheless, most Americans believe that children are better off if their parents are married. Many also believe that welfare discourages marriage, although past studies of AFDC suggest that its effect on marriage rates was surprisingly small.13 Most people familiar with this research doubted that replacing AFDC with TANF would have much impact on the proportion of children growing up with an unmarried mother. At the time I shared their skepticism, but now I am not so sure.
Figure 2 shows trends in the percentage of children born to unmarried mothers. After having risen rapidly between 1960 and 1994, the rate was almost flat between 1994 and 2001. Some have attributed the change between 1994 and 2001 to the fact that unskilled men were earning more, making them more likely to marry.14 The fact that out-of-wedlock births rose somewhat faster after 2000, when unemployment among unskilled men rose, is consistent with this view.
Conservatives often argue that welfare reform also sent a "signal" to young people that American society no longer saw having babies out of wedlock as acceptable, and that young people who had babies without marrying should not expect much help from the government. As far as economic assistance is concerned, that argument seems questionable. Single mothers are still more likely than married mothers to qualify for food stamps and Medicaid. It became harder for single mothers to get welfare, but the Earned Income Tax Credit now gives many unmarried mothers who work as much as AFDC would have given them to stay home. Welfare reform did, however, send a "signal" that unmarried mothers would have to work more or less full-time to have enough money to live on. That message may have persuaded some unmarried women to use contraception more effectively or to seek abortions when contraception failed.
After spending eight years observing the effects of welfare reform, DeParle concludes that it moved a good many single mothers off the welfare rolls but that nearly all are still struggling to live on meager incomes. Every study I have seen supports that view.
In retrospect, it looks as if both the proponents and opponents of welfare reform overestimated its likely impact. Daniel Patrick Moynihan warned that abolishing AFDC would lead to large numbers of children "sleeping on grates," and many other liberals made similar prophecies. Nothing like that has happened. If anything, material hardship among single mothers and their children has fallen slightly. Those who supported welfare reform also seem to have overestimated its benefits. More single mothers have entered the labor force, but because most mothers were already working the increase was hardly a social revolution. Thus far there is little evidence that making more mothers work has had much effect either way on children. Nor has it saved money, at least so far.
DeParle proposes several reforms to improve single mothers' lives. He would expand Medicaid, raise the minimum wage, use housing subsidies to move poor families to better neighborhoods, offer better job training, and make sure that every school has an after-school program for children of working mothers. These proposals are familiar and, except for better job training, most states know how to carry them out. The obstacles are political, not technical. As DeParle says, "It's hard to picture a radically new politics of poverty when politics remains so dominated by money and the poor so lacking in power." But welfare reform has at least reduced popular opposition to such changes. Most Americans seem to share Clinton's view that "those who work shouldn't be poor," and they are now more likely to see single mothers as working mothers.
Nonetheless, demands that all able-bodied poor women should work full-time are often unrealistic, as well as punitive in their effects. With four children to support, Angie had to work more than forty hours a week to keep her family going.15 Forcing unmarried mothers with four children to spend that much time at work can only lead to physical and emotional exhaustion, child neglect, and greater numbers of adolescents in trouble.
Reconciling the demands of work and parenthood requires a different system of child care. If all school districts offered year-round half-day pre-kindergarten programs, it would be relatively easy for mothers of young children to work half-time when jobs were available. This seems to me a far more reasonable goal than full-time work. If all schools also had after-school programs, mothers of school-age children could work full-time without worrying about their children neglecting their homework or getting in trouble. Work requirements that encourage parents like Angie to leave their children unsupervised cannot be a good idea. Most American politicians have been unwilling to acknowledge this risk. They and their constituents should think more seriously about what they can do for such mothers and children.
Those who still feel that welfare reform was a bad idea should also recognize that there is no going back. America will not revive welfare "as we knew it" in the lifetime of anyone reading this article. For that we can thank Bill Clinton.

Where Credit Is Due: May 2013
Our 1986 11m S-2 sailboat has long had a traditional-style Edson teak cupholder at the helm. Unfortunately, Edson no longer sells the style (www.edsonmarine.com), which was replaced by a stainless-steel/teak holder thats a bit too Euro looking for the S-2. I called Edson with the hope that the old style might still be available, but no such luck. However, Edsons Bill Keene checked around and came up with a display model still mounted to a boat show display. Through Bills kind effort, the holder arrived within the week at no charge. A little TLC to renew the finish, and we will again have just the place for our beverages.
Edsons quality is, of course, legendary; no less so is its customer service! A big thank you to Edson and Bill Keene.

Hawks drop close one
RED OAK - The Hawks hosted the Mesquite Poteet Pirates on Tuesday, Nov. 30 in a 15-4A district match up.
The Hawks fell behind by a few points early on and played catch up most of the game and not because Poteet was better, the Hawks just couldn't get early shots to fall.
At least a half dozen shots rattled inside the rim before bouncing back during the game.
Both teams played an aggressive press and quick paced game and both teams went to the free throw line early in both halves.
By halftime, the Hawks were trailing 31-34.
All in all it was a good match up for both teams and the Hawks were always close in this game.
Finally late in the fourth period the Hawks fought back and tied the game thanks to some nice baskets by Brandon Hebert (#34) and the Hawks had a chance to take the lead, but missed a 3-pointer.
The final minutes came down to free throws and stops, but the Pirates went on to win by 3 beating the Hawks 45-48 in a very close game.
In the JV game, the Hawks were building their lead into the third period and by the fourth were in full control of the game and cruised to a 62-38 win.

Enjoy Coke as long as you're not gayPosted by Marc van Gurp | 26-01-2014 12:50 | Category: Gender issues
Have you ever tried to submit the name 'Gay' on a personalised Coca-Cola can?
The video shows what happens.
Same result with 'Queer'. But not for 'Heterosexual'.
Or try it for yourself here.
It is clear what is happening. The manufacturer has blocked a number of words. However, the choice is unfortunate.
The submitter on YouTube commented: 'No wonder they are defending their sponsorship of the Russian Winter Olympics.'
The straight version is accepted.
Coca-Cola changed the website. Visitors can only choose from a list of names rather than self-chosen names.

Worldwide sales of semiconductors reached $24.4 billion in May 2012, a 1.4% increase over May's $24.1 billion, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association.
Combined global sales during the March-April-May period was up over December-January-February by 6.4%--the highest rate since June 2010. May was also the third consecutive month that sales have grown over the previous month, which makes it the longest streak of sequential monthly growth since September 2010.
The association said sales from May 2012 were 3.4% lower than May 2011's $25.2 billion. Year-to-date sales were lower across all regions than at the same time in 2011. SIA said all its reported monthly sales numbers represent a three-month moving average.
SIA President and CEO Brian Toohey said recent sales totals are in-line with projections--the industry expected modest growth for the remainder of 2012. He added that more robust growth is limited by the sluggish global economy.

Did you change this recipe?Add your Twist
A twist is a way to share your own spin on our recipies!
|7 ounces Oreo cookies with the filling scraped off (about 2 packages)
|1 cup full-fat cream cheese
|5 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
|5 tablespoons superfine sugar
|1 pinch sea salt
|1 2/3 cups heavy cream
|3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate (about 70% cocoa solids), finely chopped
|1-2 teaspoons red gel food coloring
Put the cookies in a medium bowl and, using the end of a rolling pin, crush them until fine. Add the butter and sea salt and mix well. Squeeze some of the mixture in your hand; it should stick together. If not, add a little extra butter. Pour the mixture into a 9in pie dish and press firmly over the bottom and sides. Put the pie dish in the fridge until needed.
To make the cheesecake, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Beat the cream cheese and sugar together in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy. In a medium bowl whisk together the 2/3 cups of cream and food coloring until the cream holds soft peaks. Pour in the melted chocolate and gently mix together. Add the cream mixture to the cream cheese mixture and fold together until evenly combined. Pour the mixture onto the prepared cookie crust and smooth out.
Chill for 2 hours or until set. Before serving, pour 1 cup heavy cream for the topping in a medium bowl and whisk until it holds soft peaks. Spread the cream over the top of the cheesecake.

How to insulate sliding glass doors

Home Warm This Winter

Winterizing an Apartment
Insulating Sliding Glass Doors
My bedroom has a sliding glass door, which is not insulated. Therefore, the room is almost impossible to keep warm. Since I can't afford to replace the door with insulated glass, what else can I do? I was thinking of hanging a thick blanket or moving pad over it, but that would also block the light. Do you have any good ideas?
Insulate with Bubble Wrap
I've used bubble wrap on my windows. I sprayed the window with water and then stuck the bubble wrap to the window. Plenty of light still comes in, and I think it helps with the cold.
Adhere Plastic Film
I don't know where you live, but check your local hardware store. Where I live (it gets very cold), there's a plastic film that you can adhere to the inside frame/trim of your windows and doors using a special two-way tape included in the kit (plus you need your own scissors and a hair dryer). You effectively add an extra pane for insulation, stop drafts, etc. and it's perfectly clear like a piece of glass. We did it for years before we could afford to replace our windows, and it makes a huge difference. The kits generally cost less than $10 and they do make ones specifically sized for patio doors.
Carolyn in Manitoba, Canada
Hang Curtains
Use curtains for insulating sliding glass doors. If you can't afford new, go to thrift shops and look for king size comforters and bedspreads. Hang these as window quilts at night.
Purchase Vinyl at Fabric Store
During the winter, we cover our windows and sliding doors with clear vinyl that we bought at a fabric store. The vinyl is clear so you can see through it. Also, the vinyl lasts and lasts.
Cut Insulation Board to Fit
We have a sliding glass door in our kitchen. Hubby cut two pieces of tongue and groove insulation board 1 1/2" thick (1 1/2" thick was what we had around the house) to fit the opening so that it goes inside the frame snug. Then we got a sliding door size piece of plastic that had double-sided tape to stick it on the frame around the door. We used a hair dryer to get rid of all the wrinkles. It worked wonderful. We pulled the drape over it for extra insulation and to cover it so that no one sees what we did. It works really well. Don't forget to save the insulation board for the next year.
Insulating Sliding Glass Doors with Shower Curtains
Hanging a heavy duty clear plastic shower curtain liner with clear plastic dollar store hooks on a tension rod would definitely help.
