Make your decision wisely - You can paint over stain but you can't stain over paint. Just my opinion, but I would never paint a floor that I'd paid to have sanded unless there was a major problem discovered. It may depend on where you're located but formal rooms in 1880 era rowhouses generally didn't have painted floors, at least not in in my area. |

Carol, floors were almost never painted in formal rooms in that era, unless the house was very cheaply built for a laborer or far older--say 1810 or so. Definitely stain, and keep in mind that the 'bowling alley' look so favored by refinishers is a modern trend--a softer, satiny glow was more likely, or even just a varnished stain. Let the character of the wood show itself. In terms of value, stain is always going to increase the value, where paint will be seen as a cover-up attempt to disguise problems. |
thanks for your advice. you all saved me a costly mistake that I was going to make. |

Absolutely stain. Or just leave natural. Tell your sanding contractor not to try to remove ever dip and scratch -- leave a little character. |
To add a bit of info, my understanding is that only the top floors of a house of that era would have been painted. And it's possible that even that would have depended on how grand the house was. Our former house, a circa-1870ish Italianate, was actually a fairly plain house, especially given the grand street it's on, and one that apparently changed from being a younger son's residence to a boarding house for workers in the town's carriage factory. The first two floors were stained, but the third floor, as well as the treads on the stairs leading to the third floor, were painted. As far as I could tell, the original paint color was a darkish chestnut color. |

You know, right around 1880 it became the height of fashion to paint floors in gloss black as a dramatic frame to decorative carpets. At the same time ebonized art furniture with some Japanese influence became popular. Casey |

The less important a house or room, the more likely it would have painted wood. If your home was middle class, all of the floors would have been stained and shellacked or varnished. maybe a floored attic would have unfinished or painted wood. Woodwork (door and window, etc.) follows similar lines: more likely stained in formal rooms, or higher end homes (middle-class and up); painted in low end homes Sombreuil: black painted woodwork and floors of the Aesthetic period (1865-1890) lend an amazing looking if you have the exactly right decor (Japanese fans, Aesthetic Period ebonized etegeres and Moorish light fixtures) but most folks today dont or wouldnt want that kind of style - Then it was high style and avant garde, now its just called dark and miserable (and most want to paint it white to brighten it up - UGH...) |

People who installed pine floors in that era usually meant them to be covered in wall to wall carpeting, so they in all possibility weren't meant to be stained or painted. Many architects of the era were still specifying softwood floors. You could have painted them, if you liked, because even then, some people liked to paint their floors rather than stain them. |

I love polenta. Love it. Its very versatile, serve it creamy or firmed up in squares. You can add just about any vegetable to it to make it go further. Almost any sauce is delicious with it since its so mild. Its a great side dish or a fabulous plated appetizer (when serving it as an appetizer I make it as squares, broil them and make a blue cheese and spinach sauce,… but that's for another day.)
One of the great things about it if you are entertaining is that you can do the majority of the work ahead of time. Just slicing and broiling when the company arrive.
Kale Splattered Polenta Recipe
Serves 4
4 c vegetable broth
1 c polenta grains
2 shallots, thinly sliced
5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 bunch of kale
In a medium saucepan bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Slowly stream polenta into pan while whisking. Once all the polenta has been added reduce heat to a simmer. Continue to cook for 30 minutes stirring frequently with a rubber coated spoon (or something else that won't scrape the bottom of your pan but still be able to get all the polenta off the pan.)
Meanwhile, in a skillet coated with cooking spray saute shallots until lightly browned. Add garlic and cook another minute.
Remove the stem from the kale by folding each leave in half and cutting out the thick stem portion. Cut the leaves into 1″ portions.
Add the kale to the skillet and saute until wilted. Transfer kale mixture to a cutting board. Chop thoroughly.
Once the polenta is done add the kale mixture and stir well.
For Creamy Polenta add 1 Tablespoon of Light Butter and stir until combined. Serve.
For Polenta squares coat a 9″ square with cooking spray. Transfer polenta to pan and refrigerate until set. Should only take 20 minutes or so. Preheat broiler. Flip polenta onto a cutting board and slice into 9 squares. Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Arrange squares on sheet and broil until lightly toasted. They taste great topped with a little of the Creamy Artichoke Sauce from yesterday!

According to several reports, Rogers Communications has applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to bring the MLB Network to Canada. The application will be open to comment on Canada's broadcast regulator's website until the middle of July, but there shouldn't be any problems with the content considering that the CRTC has previously authorized single-sport channels like the NFL Network, the Golf Channel and Speed for Canadian distribution.
The most surprising element of this news is actually that something along these lines hasn't happened sooner. It was previously assumed that any hesitancy on Rogers part to bring the MLB Network to Canada was rooted in the corporation's inability to monetize it to the fullest. That's why they instead licensed "Baseball TV" back in August of 2009, with the idea that they could combine purchased content from the MLB Network packaged with Toronto Blue Jays and other Canadian baseball content. An agreement couldn't be reached between MLB and Rogers, and the licence for the channel remained suspended until it expired last year.
At any point since MLB Network's inception in 2009, Rogers could have attempted to bring the network to Canada, but the corporation remained unlikely to provide the channel to its subscribers without direct equity in it, as it already owned so much of the baseball content being shown on our televisions. This was a major factor in negotiations between the company and the network essentially going nowhere.
However, this most recent news suggests that Rogers has either given in, or sees an increased opportunity to elicit more cable subscriptions through the addition of the network to its offerings. According to the Globe and Mail, Rogers Sportsnet "has seen a surge in baseball viewership for its Blue Jays broadcasts … among adults aged 18-34 this year over last."
In its application to the CRTC, Rogers states that "MLB Network's market research in the U.S. and Canada indicates that Major League Baseball fans have a considerable demand for more information and insight about the sport of baseball." It goes on to say that the addition of the network to Canadian airwaves "will ensure that Canadian consumers are able to access a non-Canadian service that will provide unique programming content in a genre that does not currently exist in Canada."
In other words, viewers will be spared uniquely Canadian content on the channel, and instead be forced to suffer through copious amounts of air time for the buffoonery of Harold Reynolds and Kevin Millar. That's something of a win-lose situation.
Unfortunately, the MLB Network hasn't exactly been a dynamo for cable providers in the United States, where it consistently ranks last among cable networks in terms of viewership. This suggests to me that baseball fans are generally more interested in their favourite baseball team than baseball as a whole. I imagine this to be symptom of a schedule that consists of 162 games per season, and contests on every night.
Such a format creates strong regional interest in individual teams, but it doesn't necessarily translate into the same type national or more widespread interest. While certainly the content of such a channel is of interest to me, and I assume, the typical reader of Getting Blanked, it doesn't necessarily hold the same type of appeal to the more casual Toronto Blue Jays fan.
That's why quoting increases in fan interest in regional games offers no evidence that the MLB Network will find its way to very many television screens North of the Border other than mine.

Let's be honest here. The control of one's emotions isn't a character trait often associated with Felipe Melo. Try as he may he just can't keep whatever it is inside within. Suppressing an urge is not his forte.
And so, around half an hour after Sunday night's Kıtalar Arası or Intercontinental derby with Fenerbahçe, the Galatasaray midfielder, probably sat in the dressing room at the Türk Telekom Arena, reaches for his phone and composes a tweet for his 700,000 or so followers.
Not for the first time, Melo showed that the No.10 shirt he wears stands more for mischief or troublemaker than it ever will for playmaker. All 140 characters available to him were simply used like this: "Hahahahahahaha."
This was trolling of the highest order. Galatasaray had beaten their biggest rivals 2-1 and Melo couldn't resist rubbing it in. He couldn't help himself. It was retweeted 21,274 times and, after the events of last month when he pulled on the gloves of sent off goalkeeper Fernando Muslera and saved a last minute penalty against Elazigspor to secure a 1-0 win for Galatasaray, it only added to his cult status at the club.
Melo knows how to play to an audience. He knows how to work a crowd to say nothing of winding it up too. For Galatasaray supporters, and in particular the ultrAslan, he is as good as one of them on the pitch. Not that they didn't play their own part on Sunday.
Once again, a huge choreography was organised to rival that put on earlier in the spring before the derby against Besiktas when, with the Braveheart soundtrack playing in the background, the figure of Fatih Terim was shown indicating 'The Way' for Galatasaray players to follow.
This time, a Lion, the club's symbol, rose up from the crowd holding a trophy, accompanied by a despairing Fenerbahçe player, thought to be the dearly missed Alex, behind a burning Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. A banner unfurled beforehand read: "Everything can be forgotten, just distant memories remain but every MAY reminds you of us."
It was of course a reference to their last meeting in the Süper Lig back in—you guessed it—May, when a decider ended in a stalemate at Fenerbahçe's ground, but was enough to ensure Galatasaray won the league for the first time in four years, making it 18 titles a piece and on the final day, edging them at the last just like they had in 2005-06 too.
Fenerbahçe supporters reacted by tearing up seats, invading the pitch and clashing with police like they had done in 2010 when a draw with Trabzonspor so traumatically handed the title to Bursaspor. On that occasion sections of the Şükrü Saracoğlu were set alight in fury.
The outcome of last season's Süper Lig championship play-offs was destined to become part of derby lore, something for Galatasaray to hurt Fenerbahçe with, just as Fenerbahçe never tire of bringing up that 6-0 beating they gave Galatasaray, despite famously being down to 10-men for much of it, in 2002.
Galatasaray needed something to shout about again. For the derby has been fairly one-sided over the last decade, celebrated more in Kadıköy in the East rather than Galata in the West of Istanbul. Until last season, Fenerbahçe had only lost to Galatasaray in six of their last 21 encounters.
Since then, however, they have won just one of the last four. A power shift from one shore of the Bosphorus to the other is discernible. And it has coincided with the return of the Emperor, Fatih Terim, for a third spell at the helm of Galatasaray.
A new cycle appears to have begun. The draw, which felt so much like a win in May, was followed by a 3-2 triumph in the Turkish Super Cup in August and Sunday's meeting had a context all of its own.
Win and Galatasaray would go five points clear. Lose and Fenerbahçe, heading into the game only two points behind, would leapfrog their rivals at the top of the table. Early in the season, though it is, this was a game not without significance. But of course how could a derby between these two ever not be?
"Winning these games means more than three points," Terim said. "When you lose, you lose your morale as well."
The latest edition certainly didn't disappoint. Curiously it was the oft-forgotten former Liverpool winger Albert Riera, now playing out of position and rather awkwardly it must be said at full-back, who was its chief protagonist, at least early on.
A curling delivery from a free-kick of his was headed in for an own-goal by Fenerbahçe defender Bekir İrtegün in the 10th minute. A week ago he'd scored the winner for his team against Istanbul BB and received a kiss smack on the lips from a fan. Now what might he expect? A slap instead?
Riera, however, offered Fenerbahçe a lifeline with a poor clearance shortly afterwards and Hasan Ali Kaldırım grabbed it, hooking a low shot from outside the box inside Muslera's near post to make it 1-1.
Then, in the 36th minute, came the decisive moment of the match. Selçuk İnan stood over a Galatasaray free-kick. As he went to strike the ball Fenerbahçe goalkeeper Volkan Demirel moved a step to his left. It would prove to be a fatal error.
"I made a mistake," Volkan admitted afterwards. "There's nothing more to say about it. I'm just sorry." He'd gone the wrong way and was caught flat-footed. The shot went to his right and Selçuk wheeled away in celebration. "My mother told me before the match that I would score a free-kick," he later revealed. "I also scored the winning goal. I'm very happy."
Fenerbahçe endeavoured to get back into it. Alas their efforts were to no avail. Terim, taking off striker Umut Bulut for midfielder Yekta Kurtuluş, and switching from 4-4-2 to a 4-5-1 managed to stifle his opponents. Raul Meireles's sending off for a second bookable offence in the 82nd minute, all but ended Fenerbahçe's hopes of getting a result.
"We allowed two goals from two dead balls, two free-kicks," lamented coach Aykut Kocaman afterwards. "The second half was not productive, neither for us, nor for the game of football. And the opposition's attempts to kill off the game played it's part. We just couldn't find the rhythm to get us the equaliser."
The night belonged to Galatasaray and above all to Selçuk. Breakfast at the club's Florya training ground on Monday saw him served with a pide, a Turkish flatbread.
Victory in the Kıtalar Arası Derbi, it seems, can be savoury as well as sweet. And one thing's for certain: it's always tasty.

We visited AMD in their suite on the 24th floor of the Grand Hyatt today where the main focus was obviously Athlon 64.
Half of the suite was dedicated to AMD's line of partner notebooks, with 3 or 4 being Athlon 64 ready.
Some of AMD's partners already have small form factor Athlon 64 systems available, including ones from Shuttle, MSI and Iwill.
To demonstrate the processing power of the Athlon 64 with the help of nVidia, AMD had two Athlon 64 FX systems running a demo (which was running in real time) to showcase what 64-bit is capable of.
The demo was pretty amazing, the most complex demo produced by nVidia to date.

Our 1958 ranch has a cement front stoop measuring about 4'x4'square and 4" thick. The gutter on the roof/overhang above is not adhered to the structure therefore rain pours down between the gutter and the structure. This water lands on the ground right in front of the stoop and over the years the ground has eroded and now water is seeping in under the cement and causing dampness and mold in the basement ceiling. We know that we have to remove the stoop and regrade but with what should we replace the stoop? Who should we contact to help us design a new stoop and perhaps a new overhang/entrance. Should it be an architect or a builder? Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated. |

Hawaii Youth Symphony Hosts Free Spring Concert | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The following information is provided by the Hawaii Youth Symphony:
The Hawaii Youth Symphony (HYS) will host a benefit concert for Child & Family Service, featuring award-winning artists and musicians on Sunday, April 15, 4:00 pm at the Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall. In lieu of an admission fee, HYS is asking attendees to make a donation to Child & Family Service.
HYS' annual spring concert will feature Hawaii's premiere youth orchestra, Youth Symphony I, under the direction of Henry Miyamura. Other guest performers include internationally acclaimed soprano Bai He and veteran trumpet player Stanton Haugen. Bai He has been performing around the world since she was a young child and was recently named the 2011 winner of the University of Hawaii Concert Competition and is the 2012 winner of the Morning Music Club Scholarship Competition.
The concert will also serve as the world premiere of "Animal Farm", written by HYS alumnus Michael Thomas-Foumai and "Fantasia for a Queen," composed by Byron Yasui whose work has been performed internationally including orchestral premieres at New York's Carnegie Hall, the Purcell Room at London's Royal Festival Hall and various venues throughout Europe, Australia, and North, Central and South America.
Tickets are free but required for entry and are available through the Blaisdell Box Office, beginning March 15. Phone 591-2211, open Monday through Saturday, 9:00 am-5:00 pm except for furlough days and holidays.
Each year, close to sixteen hundred people attend HYS' annual Spring Concerts. The event showcases HYS' 95-member Youth Symphony I orchestra, comprised of Hawaii's finest young musicians from 23 schools across the State. "We make these concerts free in celebration of our community's support for music education," says Randy Wong, HYS Executive Director."By opening our doors, we are able to broaden our community reach and increase the relevancy of symphonic music beyond those who are already regular concertgoers."
The Spring Concerts have a further community thrust. Each season, HYS chooses a cause or nonprofit to partner with, advancing opportunities for music to affect social or civic change. Past years' causes have included a live music awareness campaign (in support of Honolulu Symphony musicians), the fight against hunger, and disaster relief funds. "Music education goes beyond instrument learning," Wong says. "A child's ensemble experience goes a long way towards development of life skills, such as interpersonal relationships, self-awareness, and leadership. Our Spring Concerts offer an additional entry point for students to connect the dots and show how their actions can affect a broader audience." This year's concert is presented in partnership with Child and Family Service, Hawaii's oldest nonprofit, which helps to strengthen families and fosters the healthy development of children.
At 3:15 pm, doors will open for general concert seating, with the concert starting at 4 pm. For more information call (808-941-9706). HYS is able to offer this concert free to the general public as a result of a partnership with the City & County of Honolulu and support from the Gift Foundation of Hawaii, and Ludwick Family Foundation.
The Hawaii Youth Symphony makes excellent music education available to all Hawaii youth. HYS annually serves more than 700 students, ages 5-18, from over 100 schools across the state. Curriculum, for the absolute beginner to the most advanced student musician, splits into two program areas. The HYS Academy, an early learning institute housed at the Boys & Girl Club, offers a full strings curriculum, a free band program, and several free general music classes. The Symphony Program presents three 90+-member symphony orchestras, a free chamber music program and the Pacific Music Institute (intensive summer camp for students from Hawaii, the mainland and Japan). An average of 23 performances are produced per year, including free Listen & Learn educational concerts for 14,000 school children. HYS distributes up to $30,000 in financial aid annually for registration fees, instrument rentals and private lessons. Neighbor island students also receive travel subsidies. HYS instills in its students a drive to seek quality, a sense of achievement, substantial self-esteem, and an understanding that their music can strengthen our communities. HYS takes great pride in its students' accomplishments and will do all it can to help them learn, perform and grow through music. For more information, visit www.HiYouthSymphony.org.

I would dearly like to remember and find a book that I read in the 1960s. It was distinguished by a society that tested all citizens who dared to participate -- participation was not mandatory but the world was ruled by those who were tested... and ranked. Rank was in the form of badges -- stars, crosses, circles, of different colors. the highest achievable rank was a white star I think. white was higher than yellow which was higher than blue (or whatever), and a star was higher than a circle which was higher than a cross (or whatever) and so on. I can't remember exactly, but you get the idea, and I still remember it - a pretty easy to remember system.
Anybody have a clue what book or author this was?

Likewise - this has been a horrific year for me, Ive witnessed things that would unhinge anyones mind, and these games are therapeutic. Demented, but therapeutic.
I respect your refreshing honesty but trump it with your humbleness - half the league is still many hours. What I am perceiving is that there was a huge amount of thought energy put into it, like the way people take care of beloved animal companions, thinking about them in their off time. That is the unmistakable and ineffable thing I am comforted by most of all. It is a form of shared love and I really need that kind of feeling! So thank you for helping me find it, it is really what the medal is for,
Perhaps this is something to put up on KS - "fund my trip to Providence to resurrect Lovecraft so that he can engrave for Avi from beyond the grave.".
Just think of the stretch goals!
But alas, until we find that Resurrection spell the plan is a little ambitious, so the specially made astra-mental one will have to do. At least you and I can see it, after all.

Rally Indonesia 1997Check out the Rally Indonesia official pages. Rally Indonesia, in its second year as a round of the WRC, has taken its place among the more traditional events in the calendar. The conditions in Indonesia are unique in the WRC, characterized by high temperatures and humidity. Sudden rain showers often make the muddy plantation roads extremely slippery. Being also a part of the important Asia-Pacific series, Rally Indonesia always has a good entry. All the normal works drivers were on the starting lineup with Richard Burns driving the second Mitsubishi and Kenneth Eriksson in the second Subaru. Toyota's new Corolla WRC's were driven by Didier Auriol and an upcoming Australian driver Neal Bates. On the first day of the rally Subaru's Colin McRae was unbeatable. He won five of the day's eight special stages. Pirelli introduced a new very narrow mud tire for the rally but apparently this wasn't the secret of McRae's speed as he mostly used conventional tires. Tommi Makinen was also a strong starter but he suffered from mysterious problems in the fuel injection system of the Mitsubishi Lancer. On the rainy last stage Makinen also had a minor off and hurt the turbocharger. Nevertheless, in the evening he was second, 35 secs behind the Scotsman Third after the first day was Ford's Juha Kankkunen, followed by team-mate Carlos Sainz. Both reported a problem-free day apart from some unlucky tire choices. Eriksson was fifth and Burns, who won the last stage, sixth. Auriol, in seventh, wasn't able to keep up with others. Bates with the second Toyota was already out with tecnical problems. Colin McRae (Photo by 555 Subaru WRT) On the second day McRae continued his strong performance until SS13 where he hit a tree and damaged the radiator. He was able to limp through the next stage but after SS14 the engine caught fire and McRae was out of the rally. Stage number 13 also brought bad luck to Tommi Makinen. A radiator fan came loose and holed the radiator. With no service after the stage the engine overheated on SS14 and Makinen was out, too. Juha Kankkunen had now taken the lead, but Carlos Sainz was charging with new suspension settings copied from Kankkunen's car. Sainz won all remaining five stages of the day and on SS16 he took the lead as Kankkunen lost some time in a short visit to the ditch. Eriksson was 3rd and Burns 4th. Didier Auriol retired with technical problems. The final six stages of the last day were quite uneventful for the top drivers. Sainz and Kankkunen had frozen their positions to keep Sainz' championship hopes alive. Winning Rally Indonesia, for the second year in succession, Carlos Sainz is now eight points behind Makinen in the standings, with three rounds to go. Colin McRae has in effect lost his chances for the title with the numerous retirements lately. For Ford the result couldn't have been better. With a full points score Ford overtook Mitsubishi in the manufacturers' points, and looms now behind Subaru, the difference being only one point. Kenneth Eriksson defended Subaru's positions finishing third. He was pushing on the last day to catch Kankkunen but that proved impossible. The third position was, however, enough to clinch the Asia-Pacific manufacturer's title for Subaru, with one round to go. Richard Burns had another respectable finish with the Mitsubishi Carisma, he was fourth. Yoshio Fujimoto took the 5th place with the good ol' Toyota Celica. The front-wheel-drive gr. F2 was dominated by Seat, with Harri Rovanpera taking the win and Erwin Weber second. Gr. N was won by Karamjit Singh with the Mitsubishi Lancer look-alike Proton Wira.

Should the teachers teach after exams (term -1 test)?Or allow the children to do whatever they want.
11 Answers | Add Yours
It's not a great idea to just let students completely do whatever they want. It has too much potential to lead to problems. So while it may be okay to plan more fun activities, simply saying "do whatever you want during this period" is not a great idea.
I use that period to do things that the realities of test-driven education make impossible. So in the period after the AP tests, I cover topics outside the purview of the test and dig deeper into questions of historical method. Certainly the pressure is off, but allowing students to "do what they want" is a recipe for disaster, in my experience.
I'm not sure if you're asking about the time after a student finishes his/her test until the end of that class period or if you're asking about a time of several days after an end-of-term exam until the class is actually finished for the term.
If you're referring to the remaining time in one class period, I liked having students with missing work use that time to complete some of those late assignments. Those who were caught up could work ahead, use the time for study hall for other classes, or could quietly work on activities of their choice that did not disrupt those still working on the test.
If you're asking about longer periods of time, I like the previous post's idea of using the time to examine topics that are worthwhile and important but not directly related to the content of the exam. When teachers are, unfortunately (in my opinion) but realistically, required to spend significant amounts of time preparing students for the material to be covered by high-stakes prescribed assessment tools, finding time to explore other areas is becoming harder to find!
After exams is a great time to teach more interesting and creative lessons. Teachers letting you do whatever you want may sound good now, but it would get pretty boring. You would just be sitting around waiting for the bell to ring! After exams is a good time to read books students choose, put on plays, read newspaper articles, do projects, and prepare for next year.
There can be some sort of compromise whereby you give students more choice of what to do as the pressure of exams is removed. Perhaps a general topic idea where students can then conduct research and organise a presentation in whatever form they like (video, diorama, powerpoint, news article etc etc). I think students still need and want to be learning even when the exam hurdle has been jumped.
Students should not be able to do whatever they want. As for teaching after an exam, I would suggest that if the majority of the students do poorly, the material covered needs to be retaught (given the lack of mastery).
There is sometimes room for down time, but in my opinion there should never be more than one day in a row - and hopefully just one day per semester - where there is no education going on.
Fun educational activities are plentiful and easy to plug in when the curriculum gets relaxed on the last couple days of a semester.
Time in school should never go to waste, but that doesn't mean that the learning activities have to be "test driven." If there are a few days in a term after my last major assessment I usually have the students do a group/independent project of some sort. This allows for a social element, but still requires time on task. I try to make the project interesting and relevant to their interests. One year I had the them read very modern plays and then cut them into performance length productions for their classmates. It was challenging, but they all had a blast with it. In the end though, I knew I was assessing critical reading and thematic discussion of the plays in question.
Well in our school after every term test we have to do a class group project .There will be judges and they will award prizes to the winners from Grade 4 -9 (they will mention only the class name so all the students in class of example 4 'A' will get the awrads)
There are so many interesting activities that can be done after the exams. Childrens can do so many creative activities like participating in workshops ,make anything that they are interested so classes will not be coasiog..
Allow them whatever they want to do but keep an eye on their work in this way you can learn some thing more from your students . as we learn from every one .what did you say ?

Health care law hasn't caused shift to part-tme workers
Minneapolis Star Tribune - One of the biggest complaints about the new federal health care law has been that it could lead employers to hire part-time and temporary workers to avoid providing insurance. So far, it's not happening. 550.
One of the biggest complaints about the new federal health care law has been that it could lead employers to hire part-time and temporary workers to avoid providing insurance.
So far, it's not happening.
"It clearly makes a good talking point for people who want to create fear and anxiety about the Affordable Care Act," said Washington and Lee University law professor Tim Jost, one of the country's leading experts on the new law. "But I think it is largely untrue."
The suggestion that employers are headed toward larger part-time and temporary work forces, one often leveled by conservative critics of the health care law, is based on surveys like one by the human resources consulting company Mercer.
Last November, a Mercer survey of 1,215 businesses found that 12 percent of them were likely to have fewer employees work more than 30 hours a week. Generally, employees working fewer than 30 hours a week or fewer than 90 days are not covered by the health care law.
Most experts say the collective impact won't be measurable for a few years.
Ameriprise Financial senior economist Russell Price said it is too soon to judge. "It will be limited to certain industries, like restaurants and retail," he said. "But overall, the economy is improving and should pick up in 2013."
Price believes any reductions in hours or increases in part-time or temporary hiring "will be overcome by the broader momentum in full-time employment."
Officials at Mercer expect the percentage of companies that actually adopt part-time and temp hiring strategies to evade coverage requirements to be less than 12 percent, because of productivity and quality risks.
Aon Hewitt, one of the country's largest human resources consultants, conducted a national survey of 562 employers around the second anniversary of Obamacare's passage and "found that 94 percent are committed to offering and financially supporting health benefit coverage for their workforce in some form going forward."
Beginning in January 2014 the Affordable Care Act generally will require employers with more than 50 full-time equivalent employees to offer "adequate and affordable" health insurance. Those that don't face penalties if one or more of their uninsured employees gets government-provided premium tax credits when buying coverage through an individual health insurance exchange.
The penalty is generally $2,000 per year for each full-time employee, excluding the first 30 workers, for employers that offer no health insurance at all. Employers that offer health insurance that the government judges inadequate and unaffordable may be penalized $3,000 for any single full-time employee who receives premium tax credits through the exchange.
Jost believes some employers of low-wage workers whose workforce is now close to but fewer than 50 full-time employees may cut hours or keep new hires from working more than an average of 30 hours per week to keep from being legally forced to provide insurance.
"In low-wage and retail industries, there may be an incentive to shift workers to part time," agreed Larry Levitt, a senior vice president with the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Levitt said trying to avoid paying for employee benefits by hiring part-timers predates the Affordable Care Act.
"The health reform law will further that trend," he said. "But there are limits. You can't make everyone part time. For a business to operate efficiently, that's just not possible."

March 1, 2013: The Association of Psychological Science has issued a release highlighting recent research in the cognitive, environmental, and genetic roots of mental illness in adolescents; the three different studies appeared in publications of the association: Psychological Science and Clinical Psychological Science.
Social-Information-Processing Patterns Mediate the Impact of Preventive Intervention on Adolescent Antisocial Behavior, Kenneth A. Dodge, Jennifer Godwin, and The Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group
Fast Track is a preventive intervention designed to help children who show aggression at an early age. The intervention addresses kids' social-cognitive processes in several ways, including social-skill training groups, parent groups, and classroom curricula. In this study, the researchers investigated the processes underlying this intervention's success. A total of 891 kindergarteners who were at high risk for adolescent antisocial behavior were randomly assigned to receive either the Fast Track intervention or a control program. The data revealed that children in the intervention showed decreased levels of antisocial behavior at the end of 9th grade, which was driven, in part, by improvement on three specific social-cognitive processes.

A test of two competing theories concerning the trait of urgency. One: people's tendency to act rashly or impulsively when they're emotional. Two: urgency reflects a general responsiveness to emotions that can lead to rash action (such as heavy drinking or binge eating) or ill-advised inaction (which is associated with symptoms of depression). In previous research, Smith and colleagues found that urgency levels in 5th grade predicted addictive behaviors (including alcohol consumption, binge eating, and smoking) in 6th grade, which is consistent with both theories. In this study, the researchers found that level of urgency in 5th grade also predicted higher levels of depression at the end of 6thgrade. ... researchers conclude that urgency may be an important trait in various diagnoses, across both internalizing and externalizing disorders.

Genetic and Environmental Influences on Rumination, Distraction, and Depressed Mood in Adolescence Mollie N. Moore, Rachel H. Salk, Carol A. Van Hulle, Lyn Y. Abramson, Janet S. Hyde, Kathryn Lemery-Chalfant, and H. Hill Goldsmith
... Rumination, the process of dwelling on one's feelings and problems, is an established cognitive risk factor for depression....[researchers] investigated if response styles associated with rumination might account for some of the genetic vulnerability associated with depression. A total of 756 adolescent twins ages 12 to 14 completed the Response Styles Questionnaire and several measures of depressive symptoms. ... results suggest that the same genetic factors that contribute to distraction may protect against depression.

Marriage can be redefined
To the person that wrote marriage can't be redefined. So, from your letter, marriage is all about procreation. So, if a couple can't have children, they cannot be married, correct? So, if a couple chooses not to have children they cannot be married, correct?
If a man has had a vasectomy he cannot get married, correct? If a woman has had a hysterectomy she cannot get married, correct?
Those who choose to help unfortunate children and choose to adopt should not get married because they are not procreating, correct? A paraplegic that cannot have children cannot get married, correct?
Male couples and female couples can raise great children. It's what comes from the heart and soul, not from a gene pool.
Marriage is about love, not procreation. It is time to get your head out of the sand.
This is 2013! Unbelievable! Your opinion negates all of the above unions of these people.

We've only selected a few of the modes available in Modern Warfare 2 to analyze. These are our favorites, and the ones we've spent the most time honing our skills on thus far.
Things are even more hectic in Modern Warfare 2 that they were last time – kill streaks pile up, helicopters and Harriers fill the air, and bullets fly more liberally than they did in CoD 4. You either need to find a cozy camping spot (if you're sniping, remember to drop a tactical insertion to cover your ass), or keep moving. Watch out for prone campers on the tops of buildings and ledges – if you're constantly being picked off, try sticking to interiors or other more claustrophobic spots and relying on your secondary weapon and knife. Beware of very experienced players who will simultaneously jump and go prone, and then put one through your head – keep them at bay by luring them to you instead of running after them. If someone takes a shot at you and you're not in a good position to return fire, back up and take cover to see if they'll foolishly run around the corner.
Above: A lovely sight
This mode really requires teamwork. If everyone rushes for the enemy's flag, they'll just set up camp in your base and grab yours every time it appears. Keep several people on defense, and send a concentrated, synchronized force into the enemy base – a team of lone wolves generally fails.
Above: We do love to snipe…but seriously, ranged weapons can actually be very useful in CTF matches for picking off guards and taking out the enemy flag carrier and his escorts without having to chase them down
If you plan to be a flag carrier, make sure you're using the Marathon perk – there's nothing worse than running out of steam and being shot in the back moments away from a capture. Ideally, one player will use a riot shield – he can assault the enemy base and create a disturbance while support picks off the defenses and a runner makes a grab for the flag. And if he's still alive after that, the shield-holder can continue to protect and distract as the flag carrier runs for the base. Also note that riot shields are stored on your back when you switch to your secondary, and offers some protection as you run away.
The goal of Sabotage is to bomb the enemy's base. There is one bomb, and your team must compete with the other for possession of it. The only advice to give regarding this mode is to go for it. If you see the bomb, grab it – the worst that can happen is that you'll move it a little closer to the enemy base before being killed. And now and then you get lucky and actually manage to plant it.
Above: We don't have a screen of this mode, but this video is relevant enough
In a recent game of Sabotage on Highrise, we were pinning each other down so hard that it took almost the entire match before someone actually managed to plant the bomb, and even then it was diffused. But there's no draw in Sabotage, if time runs out sudden death overtime kicks in, which means no respawning. If that happens, just play like you would if it were Hardcore Mode – slow, quiet, and low. The bomb doesn't even matter in overtime – if you eliminate the enemy team, you win.
The goal of Domination is to earn points by holding the majority of flags. There's not a lot to the game, and the only good advice is to go after or defend whichever points seem to be getting the least attention. Many of the captures we've made were solo, simply because everyone was focused on the central position, B, and were ignoring either A or C.
Above: Attempting to capture locations with the help of a riot shield is sometimes effective, but without any support, will usually just get you killed
Use frag grenades to clear out defenders, and smoke grenades to obscure yourself as you make the capture. And, of course, go prone to make yourself as difficult a target to hit as possible while capturing. And be sure not to forget about defense – Domination matches would be won much more swiftly if flags didn't change hands so often, but most players tend to run in for the capture instead of staying back to defend.
Hardcore Team Deathmatch
Bullets are much more hurty, there's no HUD, and friendly fire is on – "Hardcore" matches can be a little intimidating if you're not used to them, but they're really a lot of fun (and you can complete a challenge by winning one, so at least do that).
Above: The lack of a hud takes a while to get used to. It helps if you have surround sound so you can pinpoint the location of gunfire
All you need to do to succeed is act more like a soldier. Move slowly, stay crouched – your goal is as much to not die as it is to score kills. Look and listen and you'll be surprised how often you get the jump on the enemy. And that's really the crux of Hardcore matches – you must see the enemy before they see you, or you're toast. Oh, and watch where you aim those Predator Missiles – friendly fire is on!

CHEYENNE — A bill stripping the Wyoming superintendent of public instruction of most administrative duties passed the state Legislature on Friday despite concerns from some lawmakers about its constitutionality and the specter of a court challenge ahead.
Senate File 104 became the first bill to pass the Legislature, moving through the legislative process in an unusually quick 12 days. Opponents complained the measure was being fast-tracked, but supporters noted no legislative rules were broken or suspended.
On Friday, the bill, which was first proposed on Jan. 9, passed the House on a 39-20 vote after a 70-minute debate, and the Senate followed with a 21-9 vote to accept the House version. The measure now goes to Gov. Matt Mead, who has not explicitly endorsed or rejected the bill.
In a statement issued by his office, Mead remained noncommittal, saying only that he will thoroughly review the legislation and give it thoughtful deliberation.
The governor has until the end of the day Tuesday to sign or veto the bill, or let it become law without his signature, according to his office.
If it becomes law, Superintendent Cindy Hill would be removed immediately as head of the Department of Education and an interim director appointed by the governor would assume supervision of the agency.
The superintendent would remain a statewide elected official with some education duties, such as making an annual report to the Legislature on the status of Wyoming's public education.
Hill said in an interview with The Associated Press that she expected Mead to sign the bill into law or let it become law based on a conversation she said she had with him a year ago about whether the Education Department should be run by an appointed director.
"It's a sad day for Wyoming ... and Wyoming's constitution, and we the people are not going to stand for this," Hill said.
However, she was coy when asked if she planned to challenge the law in court.
"There'll be steps ahead," she said, declining to elaborate.
Elected in 2010, Hill is in her third year as head of the Wyoming education system. However, two years into her term she had alienated and frustrated state lawmakers and others who took issue with how she ran a department with a $1.9 billion two-year budget and 150 employees.
Her tenure so far has included accusations that she improperly redirected state money to programs not authorized by the Legislature and hindered legislative education reform efforts to better prepare Wyoming students for college and careers. Hill has defended her administration of the agency and denied obstructing education reform laws.
Proponents say the bill, which was sponsored by all the legislative leaders in both political parties, would improve delivery of K-12 education and save the state's school reform effort. Opponents are concerned about increasing the governor's power and diminishing voter influence on education policy.
In its short run through the Legislature, the bill quickly became one of the most contested proposals, prompting multiple hours of impassioned floor debate in front of packed Senate and House galleries, hours of committee testimony and hundreds of phone calls and emails to lawmakers. Some 400 phone calls were made to a legislative "hotline," according to Legislative Service Office records.
During debate Friday on the House floor, some lawmakers raised concerns about the bill's constitutionality and warned of a possible lawsuit.
Rep. Keith Gingery, R-Jackson, argued that the bill strips the superintendent of so many duties that it effectively negates the office's status set out in the Wyoming Constitution and begs for a court challenge.
"How far can you go? I don't think you can go this far," Gingery said.
But House Speaker Tom Lubnau, R-Gillette, said it's the duty of the Legislature to fix a broken state education system that allows elected officials to "overstep their bounds."
"If enduring lawsuits is what I have to do to protect the sanctity of the government, bring them on," Lubnau said.
Reflecting the distrust lawmakers have for Hill, the bill includes a provision that the governor's office review all Education Department personnel decisions and job changes over the 60 days leading up to the law's enactment.
After appointing an interim director of the Education Department, Mead has until Dec. 1 to appoint a permanent director. The state Board of Education will give him three names to choose from. His appointment must be confirmed by the state Senate.

So, I'm getting in the 'gardening mood' now that the holidays are over...and the seed catalogs are showing up! Very exciting! One thing I want to do is add more seating to the garden...mine and my mom's.
At home, I want to create a little patio area for the BBQ and the table and four chairs (with umbrella) that we got last year. It's too darn hot in back (west side) and we need to find some shade. My husband loves to BBQ, but we end up eating so late, especially when it's light until 9:30 in June. We're thinking of maybe moving everything, over by the lilac hedge. Nice shade and still a view out the back...to see the horses :) The other thing I'd like to do...find a nice settee/loveseat and a couple of chairs (not sure what material) but something I can leave out in the snow and add cushions to, in the summer. I really want to create a nicer/larger area for tea. I love to have tea with my friends and famiy, but I need to seat at least four. Right now, I have a cute place for two on the porch, but a bigger space would be wonderful! For my mom, we're moving her potager to the front yard...and it gives us the opportunity to add a few more benches and maybe a little seating area. She loves seating areas, even a small bench, where she can sit and enjoy the garden. She says every view should have its own spot to enjoy it! Plus, everyone needs to sit down, take a break, and/or have a place to set down your tools and a cool beverage! So, anyone else planning new seating areas? |

Maybe. I'd like to clean up the area where the trellis house used to stand, right now there's all manner of briars and weeds,the rose that used to grow on the trellis house and grasses. Instead of ripping those all out, I'm going to try and build around and amongst them for a little "hide-a-way in the brush". But, the only thing is there is scant privacy down there now days. The neighbor's back yard with all their "toys" is just a few yards away. Some scrub trees and a couple of pines shield the corner a little, but you can still see and hear everything that goes on over there. There aren't many materials chairs can me made of that will hold up to the elements year round, except maybe resin or all-weather wicker. Even metal will rust. I think I've mentioned I have an all-weather wicker chase, and to me it is not as comfortable as real wicker. Perhaps if I could afford the nice big all-weather cushions for it, it would be another story. It's only January, and I'm so missing my broken-in wicker chair on the back porch. :( |

I bought a metal 'conversation' bench that I just adored. Now I can find no where to place it. Since the people sitting in it face different ways, it can't go up against a wall or fence or hedge. There just isn't the right spot in my garden. I'd love to plan an area for it (it's actually quite comfortable) but I don't know what sort of garden plan it needs. Maybe someone will have a suggestion. LL- definitely make that patio to sit and BBQ. You will get so much enjoyment out of it. |
I have several places where we sit & read, eat, drink, or just enjoy the garden. There's a small front deck with only space for 2-3 chairs, the large front patio with dining table & chairs & BBQ nearby, & the back deck with an assortment of chairs, tables, potted plants, & a totem for good measure! It's on the north-east corner of the house so really nice on hot days. The front deck & patio are on the south side & in full sun for much of the day so only comfortable in the early morning or evenings. LL, our patio dining table & chairs are coated metal & we still put them away under cover (table in the barn and chairs in my garden house) as I think they will last longer. I hang the cushions up to prevent mice from wintering in them. So far it's worked. I always love to see pics of seating areas *in* the garden & since I'm trying to find ideas to fill space when I reduce the lawn area I may do this. I could put down cardboard, mulch & install a bench or a couple of chairs - a nice place to have tea. Anyone have a space like this? |
- Posted by schoolhouse z5/ohio (My Page) on Thu, Jan 6, 11 at 20:07
holleygarden, I nearly bought one of those benches and it was metal also with a light green patina. It had the feel of India about it. I thought I'd place it down in the orchard where it would be surrounded by the flower borders, that is right in the center of a square patch of lawn with the borders on all four sides. That is if I keep up the borders, right now it's slow going to fill them in and maintain them. Or I could see it on a patio of pavers, surround by a low boxwood hedge, hedge of herbal plantings, ect. This would require people to see in mostly full sun but that would be fine on early Spring days or in Fall. |
I love having different places to sit in the garden. One change I'm making is taking my hammock and moving it to my yard rather than garden, and replacing it with a wood bench I saw at my garden center. It's made of a beautiful tree trunk cut in half length wise. It's heavily shellacked so it'll last and has a nice rustic feel to it. I love my hammock but it takes up a lot of space. So Im thinking of planting a tree create shade and place hammock near that. I have to run the tree idea by dh, because it's a big addition! I love planning the garden now, especially since it's snowing out! |
- Posted by holleygarden 8/East Texas (My Page) on Fri, Jan 7, 11 at 19:26
schoolhouse - Mine, too, is metal with a light green patina! Thanks so much for the ideas. Imagining your orchard has me thinking: I have an area with three small trees, very close together. DH is always saying I need to surround the trees with plantings, but have never given it much thought. However, I could surround them with some kind of flower border, then put the seat and something easy inside the border (like ditch dayliles?). I'm imagining it now! Thanks! |
I have various lawn chairs in different areas of the garden but would like a couple of nice benches and more defined areas for sitting when someone drops over while I am working in the beds. Places we can sit down for just a few minutes in the area and where the benches blend into the surroundings. This is my #1 project for the year. We built a new deck last fall which is a good place for entertaining and longer visits. Holleygarden, that sounds like the perfect spot for a seating area. |
