Employment laws keep changing; so should your employee handbook
Blog Entry:

Walter | Haverfield LLP
From a job security standpoint, it's a great time to be an HR manager. That's because a savvy, knowledgeable HR person is more valuable today than ever before. With all the changes from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), to name just a few, and their effects on such legal issues as social media policies, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and an alphabet soup's worth of other laws, it is more than a full-time job to keep up with the latest guidelines and directives in an effort to effectively protect your company against liability.
An important part of that job should be ensuring that the latest changes are effectively communicated and implemented. That means keeping an updated employee handbook.
Unfortunately for many employers, this seemingly mundane task might have last been undertaken when Clinton was president. It's important to think of the employee handbook as a living document rather than something that simply collects dust on employees' bookshelves. The work world isn't static; it changes, rapidly. Laws change. Your company changes. Your workforce changes. As such, your policies need to change. So why are you using the same handbook that was written five or 15 years ago?
This instruction manual is a company's first line of protection against employee complaints and potential lawsuits. It gives employees a clear picture of the company's rules, benefits and expectations. A well-crafted employee handbook also can be used as an effective tool to minimize both litigation and liability. A poorly drafted or largely ignored handbook can do more harm than good. If your employee handbook has not been reviewed and revised within the past six months, chances are it's already out of date. This is particularly true in the area of social media policies given the NLRB's recent guidance and activity on the issue.
So much to do in so little time!
With so many topics covered in the typical employee handbook, it's difficult to address everything in one article. But here are a few of the ones most likely to trip you up:
Anti-harassment and discrimination policies with reporting procedures
– Employee handbooks provide an excellent means of conveying the company's equal employment policies and how alleged violations must be reported. As Supreme Court decisions have proven, well-drafted policy and complaint procedures to deal with harassment and discrimination issues will serve as a useful tool in limiting employer liability.
FMLA accommodations clearly outlined, if applicable
– Under FMLA provisions, companies with 50 or more employees must grant unpaid leave for up to 12 weeks a year for certain medical or family care reasons. If you qualify, your handbook must spell out the leave-of-absence policy, including eligibility requirements, leave request procedures and guidelines for when employees return to work.
E-mail, social media and technology resource policies
– In an era where electronic communications are the rule rather than the exception, companies should offer a comprehensive policy that addresses the "dos" and "don'ts" of e-mail, Internet and social media use on company equipment and company time. Further, the NLRB has recently taken a restrictive position regarding social media policies in employee handbooks. As a result, such policies must be carefully crafted with an eye toward the NLRB's recent guidance so that they are not found to be illegal. The handbook also should note that employees' use of such resources may be monitored by the employer. Do not forget to address employees' remote access to company resources, as well as their use of company-supplied cell phones, Blackberries/PDAs and laptops.
At-will statement
– Employees should be notified that their employment is at-will and no company policy can be relied upon to alter that relationship.
– Include one that states the handbook is not a contract and is subject to change.
As you draft your revisions, legal counsel should be engaged to review the draft policies to ensure the company is protected. Experienced employment counsel can identify the necessary updates, guide the company through problematic nuances and identify vague areas that could be left open to debate…or litigation.
When you roll-out your revised handbook, consider creating it in an electronic format. By going online with the handbook, whether via e-mail or by posting it to the company's intranet, dissemination can occur immediately. It also is easier to make subsequent modifications and to redistribute those revisions promptly when you offer an electronic handbook. Online versions also allow employers to track if and when the handbook was accessed and reviewed and how long the employee reviewed the document.
When it comes time to introduce the new handbook, make sure you distribute to all employees at the same time and advise them to any policy updates or new policies added during the review and revision process. Dropping it on them without out any explanation or the chance to ask questions sets the company, and the new handbook, up for failure. Every employee must also officially acknowledge receipt of the new handbook via printed or electronic signature.
It sounds pretty basic, but if you don't keep your employee handbook updated to reflect current guidelines and procedures, all of your other work in the HR area might be overshadowed with resulting litigation and liability. So don't delay; update today.

Bacon Jam Crostini with Melted Brie and Roasted Tomatoes
So far I have brought my bacon jam out for breakfast, simply on toast, and for lunch in the form of a bacon jam and avocado grilled cheese sandwich with fried egg and now it was time to show it off at a party in the form of an appetizer! Ever since I made the bacon jam I had been thinking about how well bacon and tomatoes go together and I wanted to use them together in some way. With all of the flavour that the bacon jam is packing a regular old tomato might be a bit scared so I decided to fortify the tomato by roasting it and building up its flavour to match. In order to bring the bacon jam and roast tomatoes together I placed them on some bread to make crostini but there was one more guest that had yet to arrive, the cheese. Once the bacon jam had been spread out over the bread I added some brie and after a quick visit to the tanning salon, I mean under the broiler, the brie was all melted, ooey and gooey and ready to party! With the addition of a peppery arugula garnish everything was set and it promised to be a tasty party indeed!
These crostini make for great appetizers when made on small pieces of bread like sliced baguette or they make a nice light meal when made on larger slices of bread.

Sugar Creek Township Fire Levy Addition (March 2012)
A Sugar Creek Township Fire Levy Addition measure was on the March 6, 2012 ballot in the township of Sugar Creek which is in Wayne County.

This measure sought to add to the current levy by a rate of $.18 per $100 of assessed property value for a period of three years in order to help pay for fire and emergency medical services in the unincorporated area of the township.[2]
Text of measure
The question on the ballot:
An additional tax for the benefit of the unincorporated area or areas of Sugar Creek Township for the purpose of fire and EMS protection at a rate not exceeding 1.8 mills for each one dollar of variation, which amounts to eighteen cents ($0.18) for each one hundred dollars of valuation, for a period of three (3) years, commencing in 2012, first due in calendar 2013.[3] |

Probably Shouldn't Listen to Me
This is my go-to sweatshirt for cold days and for bumming around, but unless you're looking for a tighter fit, go a size up or even two. I'm usually a size medium, but returned a size large for an XL.
This pullover is perfect for anyone, just bought my teen daughter one, now I want one (she's going to KILL ME!!) Super well made, fits nice, kind of on the roomier side though! Color combos are great, matched her school colors!!
My sister has this sweatshirt and I finally had to break down and buy it for myself. She loves hers too and was sick of me stealing it. The material is super soft, and the sweatshirt itself is not very thick, which I consider a plus. I find it VERY warm, but I don't feel bulky in it. My sister is my same size (5'7", about 140 lbs) and she has the medium. We both almost always wear a medium, but I wanted more room under it to layer if I want. The large was a great choice and fits exactly how I wanted. I'm very happy with my purchase!

kick my ass for my stupid question, but what's the point of having "launchpad" when "sourceforge" or "freshmeat" already exists ???
Phoronix: The Roadmap To An Open-Source Launchpad
On July 22nd of 2008 we shared that the source-code to Launchpad.net would be released by Canonical within the next twelve months. Mark Shuttleworth had made this announcement during OSCON 2008. Not many details surrounding Canonical's plans for open-sourcing Launchpad have been published, but details are beginning to emerge...
kick my ass for my stupid question, but what's the point of having "launchpad" when "sourceforge" or "freshmeat" already exists ???
Each use difference Source Control Management systems. sf.net: SVN, launchpad: bazaar and so on.
But there exist MANY sites like these.
Assembla is used to host the open source tools to remove BD+ DRM
...why? This is all about eating your own dog food. If open source licenses are not good enough for Canonical's own facilities, why should anyone bother with their open source licensed OS? I'm not saying I think like that, but these silly double standards are gonna make people wonder what exactly is going on.Not all Launchpad components, however, are being open-sourced.
... and some parts of Launchpad are already open-source!
Bet you didn't know that one, trolls.
(not that I have a reason for screaming and kicking to force their work to be open-sourced - imho, they open-sourced quite a lot of technology added to the linux desktop already. If not all.)

Phoronix: Upcoming Linux Benchmarks For July 2012
Here's some of the Linux benchmarks being planned for next month, plus it's time to seek any new Linux / open-source test requests and other feedback...
Would be nice if you could get your hands in one of those and benchmark it.
It would be nice to see more Wine applications benchmarked.
Could we have some benchmarks and system compatability for coreboot based motherboards? This is something I will be moving over to in the future.
I will be looking at the most recent motherboard and most highest specs which I can run coreboot on, and how that compares to either UEFI or BIOS.
Would also be nice to see how you get on with flashing the board.
Hopefully unigine's new benchmark is released soon.

History column: Life, work of longtime Dells lawyer admirable
When preparing to write this article I had an idea in my mind. A direction I wanted to go, the topic and the sort of information I was looking for. In the end, what I learned was an unexpected pleasure. As a young man Allen Brown, like many his age, wasn't sure of his future. He earned his way through college by working at L.G. Everist. After two years Allen joined the military. When he returned home, with two years left on the G.I. Bill, Allen went back to school and then continued his education in law, graduating in 1961. Bill Vogt offered him a job and, as they say in the movies, "the rest is history." Currently Allen practices primarily in estate planning, probate, real estate and income tax. Allen didn't tell me much about his duties as a lawyer. What he told me were the privileges of his job. Allen told me a bit about his duties, the estate planning, the taxes and such. But what really stood out was his concern in helping a family through a difficult time after the death of a spouse or family member. When a family member dies the feelings of grief doesn't just go away after the funeral. It takes time and Allen is there till the end. There is no rush, no time limitations, whenever you are ready, Allen is there. He is there to hold your hand as long as it takes. When Allen began his career there was no CPA's in Dell Rapids. A local farmer would come to him to have their taxes completed. Today, the farming industry has become much more complex. Today farmers are much more diversified; stocks, bonds and investments. He can help you with all those needs. I was more impressed when he spoke of the generations of farmers that he has helped. To this day, he has clients come in and request his services, simply because Allen helped their father and their grandfather. He has earned their trust. I suspect in the years to come the children of Allen's clients will also approach him for assistance. Who else would they turn to? After being an attorney for more than 53 years, many have asked Allen his plans for retirement. Currently, he has no immediate plans. He has the support of his family, his friends, his clients and his colleagues to continue a career that he loves. He enjoys it so why quit? We can't all say that. As I mentioned before, I had an idea of what I wanted to know about Allen Brown, a local Dell Rapids attorney. In turn I learned about a humanitarian who also happens to be an attorney. Melvin Jones, founder of the Lions Club International, once said, "You can't get very far until you start doing something for somebody else." Allen, a Lions Club member for 50 years, took that to heart. He told me, "Nothing good ever happens unless you work hard at it." Over the years he had worked hard to serve his God, his family and his community. He has served well! After living in Dell Rapids much of his life, practicing law over a span of a lifetime, I asked Allen, "What is your dream job?" He thought about it a bit, but in his heart he always knew the answer. "I am doing it."

Why Aren't More People Talking About Physician Suicide?
Wed, 11/28/2012 - 9:42am
I live in Eugene — a sweet little community with snow-capped mountains, farmers' markets and the friendliest people around.
But a few weeks ago, one of our beloved pediatricians shot himself in the head in a public park. Earlier this year, one of our surgeons was found dead in his car from carbon monoxide poisoning.
And just before him, a urologist shot himself in the head in his backyard. Before him, a local anesthesiologist was found dead of an overdose in a closet and a family physician jumped in front of a train.
What does it mean when our healers take their own lives?
And why aren't more people talking about physician suicide?

Having 2k12 expeirience helps but its still an adjustmen Also get prepared to be frustrated to no end. Its hard, so the game seems to be working against you but just wait. One day youll igure out how to really dribble and get open. Then youll get how to shoot from different areas of the floor. Then passing will come, etc etc I think thats what I like about the game. Its genuienly hard without you feeling like you were cheated or it wasnt fun. Maybe its just the nature of the game but i can have fun even if im losing, but in Madden if im not playing well it becomes hell on the remote Reply Back to Top |
Posted by ShoeBang on 10/8 at 7:05 am to wildtigercat93 I created a defensive center. Fun stuff. I set picks and roll to the basket. Still havent figured out why the dunk combo does not work. I have resisted the temptation to buy VC points, but I want to be a Tyson Chandler type player and I need the dunks. Could do it all day in 2k12. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Dave Worth on 10/8 at 12:29 pm to Joe Joe Joe Try dropping the difficulty. I started out on All Star I believe...it was one level harder than default. Between the new controls and whatever, I was getting my arse handed to me by the computer. It got frustrating. I would start getting blown out, close the gap and then back to blown out. Dropped it back down a level and I'm playing much better. Probably a little too easy at times, but I'm using it to learn a bit. Then I'll pick a level and start messing with the sliders. One thing I've noticed is that if I screw up on defense I get burned. Playing against Westbrook, if I left him open he flies straight to the basket. Same with many others. Refreshing and aggravating at the same time! Reply Back to Top |
Posted by GeauxAggie972 on 10/8 at 1:27 pm to Dave Worth I think a lot of people are finding that Pro, and some slight slider changes, gives the best game. quote: This is the one thing I love the most about this game is that not everyone plays like stars. And the players that are stars will punish you like they do in real life. Makes guys like Sefolosha and those defensive sig skill guys more important in this game Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Coach D on 10/8 at 1:51 pm to GeauxAggie972 I made a big center (obviously took one for the team for when we team up and play online). Didn't dominate initial game but had that A+ Team Grade (I screen everyone). Needless to say I went #10 to the Hornets and while I don't start, I now play 30+ MPG. We lead the division without any trades yet. About to ask for Rivers to be dealt, never passes the damn ball. I went ahead and maxed speed/quickness/vertical(easy because as a big you are limited to how high) and got my handles and passing up. I run the pick and roll with Anthony Davis and dominate. Had a triple double early in the season and that idiot Justin Bieber started following me. Reply Back to Top |
Coach D are you on Xbox. If so add me for team up. I play pg and actually dish the ball. I'm tired of playing with my friends who ball hog all game and play no defense. I'd rather 6pts 12+ assists and 3 or more steals over 20 points 2 assists any day. Reply Back to Top |
Sorry, I rock that PS3... not as reliable but free connection. Lol. 76 Overall Center doing work though Reply Back to Top |

A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) infection occurs when bacteria enters the bloodstream through or around a central line catheter . A PICC is a long, thin tube that is inserted through a vein in the arm. The catheter is threaded through the arm vein until it reaches a larger vein close to the heart. Commonly called a PICC line, it is used to deliver medication, nutrition, IV fluids, and chemotherapy .
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
If bacteria start to grow on the central line catheter , they can easily enter the blood and cause a serious infection. This can lead to a condition called sepsis , which occurs when bacteria overwhelm the body.
Bacteria normally live on the skin. Since the catheter is inserted through your skin, these bacteria will sometimes track along the outside of the catheter. From the catheter, they can get into your bloodstream.
Factors that increase your chances of developing this infection include:
Symptoms may include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
Images may be taken of your heart. This can be done with echocardiogram .
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
When you are getting a PICC line placed, the staff will take steps to reduce your risk of infection.
There are also steps that you can take to reduce your risk of infection:

The Durango High School wrestling team stayed off its back Friday on Day 1 of the Top of the Rockies wrestling tournament in Lafayette.
Eight of the team's 12 wrestlers still remain in the tournament.
"Oh man, I'll tell you, we started off pretty poorly in the first round, but it's really kind of reflective of where we're at," said DHS head coach Doug Cuddie, who added that with five of the top 10 Class 5A schools, four of the top five 4A schools and four of the top 3A schools, Top of the Rockies is "the toughest tournament this state has to offer."
But after a slow opening round, the Demons got moving, Cuddie said.
"It was rough, and the next round was excellent."
The Demons' great eight:
Matthew Lavengood (113), one win, one loss.
Hunter Hall (120), 1-1.
Clay Dillon (126), 2-1.
Dillon Anthony (132), 2-1.
Morgan Walts (138), 1-1.
Patrick Cunnion (170), 1-1.
Daniel Gustavson (220) 1-1.
At 152, Nick Tarpley was the only Demons' wrestler who didn't lose a match Friday, pinning his opponent in the first period. He remains undefeated on the season, too.
"We ended the day really well," Cuddie said, "and hopefully we can pick up there" on Day 2 today.

From the experts, the new bible in home preserving.
Ball Home Canning Products are the gold standard in home preserving supplies, the trademark jars on display in stores every summer from coast to coast. Now the experts at Ball have written a book destined to become the "bible" of home preserving.
As nutrition and food quality has become more important, home canning and preserving has increased in popularity for the benefits it offers:
These 400 innovative and enticing recipes include everything from salsas and savory sauces to pickling, chutneys, relishes and of course, jams, jellies, and fruit spreads, such as:
The book includes comprehensive directions on safe canning and preserving methods plus lists of required equipment and utensils. Specific instructions for first-timers and handy tips for the experienced make the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving a valuable addition to any kitchen library.
Judi Kingry and Lauren Devine have between them 20 years of experience in the preserving industry. They are both employed by Jarden Home Brands.
As food costs escalate this is not only a life saver but a food saver!
Have not used it yet, but it has already answered some questions i had about canning.
I love canning. This book is an excellent guide for new and experienced canners alike.
No home should be without this book of canning recipes. Food products can no longer be trusted when you buy it off of the shelf at the market. But, when you grow your own food and properly can it up using these canning recipes, you know what you and your family are eating: Good Nutritious Food! No family should be without this book.
Great tips for new & experienced canners. I really like how the recipes are organize by type - no pectin, low pectin, regular pectin. I am also super excited about some of the more interesting recipes, like the chutney's. Great canning book!

How To Prototype And Influence People
One of the points I make in So You Want To Be A Designer is that the hardest part of software isn't the process of creating software, it's changing culture and influencing organizations. One of the strongest tools we have our repertoire in convincing others is prototyping and video: turning ideas into high-bandwidth communication artifacts. The goal of a prototype is to sketch an idea and to inspire participation: you are creating a narrative.
To put it another way, the value of an idea is zero unless it can be communicated. Below is the video of my talk on How To Prototype And Influence People. Not only that, but the video also includes a demonstration of live rapid prototyping! Now is your chance to see me code and debug in front of seventy-five people. It's like pair programming with an entire room.
[ View this presentation on Vimeo ]
For those who do not want to sit through the 30-minutes romp and my rapid prototyping, here are the principals of prototyping that I explain fully in talk:
- Your first try will be wrong. Budget and design for it.
- Aim to finish a usable artifact in a day. This helps you focus and scope.
- You are making a touchable sketch. Do not fill in all the lines.
- You are iterating your solution as well as your understanding of the problem.
- Treat your code as throw-away, but be ready to refactor.
- Borrow liberally
- Tell a story with your prototype. It isn't just a set of features.

Add new comment
I'm working rather in corporate and start-up environment where co-working is crucial. Basing on knowledge from UXPin.com orders and messages from our clients - plenty of agencies want to paper prototype with clients.
Though even if you can't use paper prototypes to work with your clients is still best tool to work on early concept. Working with paper let you (certainly it works for me) stay focus on User Interface idea and clear needs of people.
And of course, great advantage of paper prototyping (pointed also by Carolyn Snyder) is fact that you can conducte quickly and effective usability tests or create participatory design session with your website users. Providing changes on paper prototype takes only few seconds.
Paper prototyping is great, creative and low-cost. But nowadays I am not often meeting with clients or co-workers IRL. Instead we meet and share work online. I have tried scanning paper prototypes to share and work with online, but it juts does not work well. The advantages are somewhat lost. Instead we use different online prototyping tools where we can work and share in real time. Or when using Wordpress f e we use childtemplates directly for wireframes and prototypes, very fast and easy to do rapid iterations or use theme switch to show different options.
Great presentation. But why not to emphasize more the idea of paper prototype? Because it looks unprofessional? Because you need to put to much effort into sketching? Well...let me tell you inluential story;-):
Imagine that you have a meeting with your clients presenting first prototype of the new corporate website. You obviously had your design idea which came to you after making some researches and usability study, but you weren't sure how clients would react. You would loose great deal of time if you would prepare PSD graphics, html prototype, or even sketch in Axure. The situation that we all know. They want to decide, they want to feel engaged in the design process and they...resist the ideas they can't actually "touch".
Hard situation, but you know great solution. You're preparing a paper prototype of your ideas basing on the research. You're not only sketching (what if they would want to change something?) but actually using technology that consists of GUI elements with post-it-like glue strips and professional looking paper browser.
You're showing your clients paper prototype and what than? Of course they're suprised, but you're emphasising low cost of making prototype and explaining them whad did you find out during research and usability study.
If they want to change something you're letting them just re-organize elements and you're running quick usability test to find out how it works. They're engaged in designing, they're starting to understand what designing great UX actually means. They're happy.
You won. They're not showing any resist. Congratulations you're on your way to creation of great website...and great User Experience.
It's simple as that and believe me or not. I've checked that. Of course there's marketing in my comment, as I've created tool mentioned above - UXPin, but... believe me or not just the idea of paper prototyping with your client or teammates (check that in corporate environment or in a start-up) may change your work.
Difference in our approaches doesn't change the fact that your presentation is awesome. Take care!

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone!
Since we are now into a new year I thought it would be fun to create our ATCs around the theme of our:
New Year's resolutions or goals we have for the upcoming year.
Even if you haven't made any resolutions or set any goals for the year, perhaps you could create your card about something you have been wanting or a dream you have for your future. Any subject along these lines would be fine. Don't forget, you may create as many cards as you would like, just please remember to sign and date each card. Upload them to the ATC Challenge & Swap Gallery and email the full resolution copy (750 x 1050 pixels at 300 dpi) to me at email@example.com
The cards will be due by Wednesday, February 6th, and I'll try to send the full sets back to you by the following Friday. I'll also be posting a new challenge on Friday, February 8th.
Have fun and I'll be looking forward to seeing all of your miniature works of art!
Here are some great products if you need help creating your cards:

Being somewhat new to the digiscrapper world, I have a question. What, exactly, is an ATC? What is their purpose and how are they different than standard 12x12 pages? Thanks.
Hi Laurie
An ATC is an Artist Trading Card and they are created for trading with others. One of the important things about them is that they are 2.5 x 3.5 inches in size. (The same size as sports trading cards)
Here is an older thread with some general information for you: ATC Instructions It is an older post and instead of emailing the full resolution copy to Lei, you would be emailing it to me. See the first post in this thread. Also, we no longer have the chats which Lei mentions in her post.
There is also some great information in this Newsletter Tutorial: How to Make an ATC Using ScrapSimple Craft Templates: Artist Trading Cards
We would be happy to have you join the swap if you would like to. Just let us know if you have any more questions.

Hey ladies, I'm seeing a lot of wonderful ATCs in the gallery />
Please remember to send me your high resolution copies if you want to participate in the swap...
Working on doing just that, Theresa! I don't know what's going on with my software, but I can't SAVE anything in it - it's all just sitting there. And you saw what happened when I tried to export to you! I'll figure it out eventually!

Three Special Olympics athletes from the Serbian town of Cacak received an award for their sporting achievements. In an act of generosity and sportsmanship, they decided to help out their hometown team with a contribution.
For every athlete we reach, there are many more waiting for their chance. Donate and help us reach out to one more person.
On 2 October 2010, during a presentation for talented young athletes in Serbia, three Special Olympics athletes were among those recognized by the Ministry of Youth and Sport. The young people were recognized for their achievements in sports, arts and sciences. Five athletes were selected in the top category; among them were three Special Olympics athletes: Djordje Polic, 20, Dejan Dakic, 19, and Marko Polic, 19. Minister Snezana Samardzic-Markovic presented the awards. The Ministry of Youth and Sport has been a strong supporter of Special Olympics Serbia for several years and has been instrumental in including sports for people with disabilities into mainstream sports.
That recognition was just the latest that these exceptional young men have received.
The three Special Olympics athletes from Cacak had already been recognized for their sporting achievements during the 2009 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Idaho, USA. Then, when they returned home from the United States, they were awarded 2,000 Euros (about $2,750) by the Ministry's Youth section. To the athletes and their families, this amount represented almost double each family's annual income.
More than a year later, Djordje and Marko, who are brothers, and Dejan, in consultation with their families, offered their award money to help pay for uniforms for the athletes participating in the Special Olympics European Games in September. Their generous offer -- a gesture of thanks to Special Olympics Serbia -- was graciously declined. But the three young men still wanted to contribute in some way, so they gave each of the athletes in their hometown delegation 50 Euros (about $70) as spending money. During the European Games, they kept in touch with coach Milorad Djondric via text message to find out how the team was doing.
"Djordje, Dejan and Marko were recognized for their sporting achievements at the highest level and we are so proud of them. But it is their act of generosity that touched us all very deeply. Their parents have raised fine young men who set the highest standards of human decency within Special Olympics Serbia," said Aleksandar Stanojevic, Special Olympics Serbia National Director.
Your generosity makes achievements of Special Olympics athletes possible, on the playing field and off. Donate and help us give the power of sport to one more person who wants to participate.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!

Pastor leaving Dells to start new journey
Sunday's services at the United Methodist Church in Dell Rapids will close a chapter in the book of life for Rev. Gwen Mader when she says goodbye to her congregation of two years.Mader, pastor at the church since 2012, is leaving Dell Rapids for a new appointment in northeast South Dakota where she will preside over the Methodist congregations of Britton, Claremont and Hecla."It's very tough to say goodbye and to see that I had started a lot of things that might not get finished," she said. "I just pray that everything continues."Under Mader's guidance, the Storehouse Food Pantry established a board of representatives from all the contributing churches in the community, and just recently launched a children's closet, a church service that provides clothes, blankets, toys and other necessities for children."Everything is free," she said.Mader hopes the community continues to embrace the children's closet, food pantry and other goodwill efforts made by Dell Rapids churches, not just the United Methodist Church."The greatest concern that I have had is the Dell Rapids community to especially care for those who may not be able to make it financially and to provide for their needs in order for them to get onto their feet and fulfill their dreams," she said. "It's been through the last two years of really working with people that I've seen the needs."The church will have an interim clergy conduct services until a permanent replacement is assigned to Dell Rapids in the early summer months.Mader's final services in Dell Rapids are Sunday at 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.

Rich Creek CNA Training - VA
NurseGroups.com's Free Rich Creek, VA CNA Training Program DirectoryYou can receive your certification in as little as 3 to 8 weeks.
Rich Creek CNA classes - online & campus-based programs are available.
How to Become a CNA in Rich Creek, Virginia
Since Nurse Aides are needed throughout the Nation, you will be able to secure employment opportunities in any state you become certified. In Virginia, medical field job security is higher than most careers. You can earn your CNA license after completing a training program. CNA course requirements vary by state according to state regulations. However, many CNA programs can be completed in 8 to 12 weeks. Plus, CNA courses are considerably cheaper than attending LPN school and are an excellent way to get started in a healthcare career.
PCT / CNA / CMA - What's the Difference?
This depends on where you live. Some PCT courses include EKG phlebotomy training. Some Patient Care Technician programs also include HHA (Home Health Aid) certification. However, in some work environments the titles CNA and PCT are used interchangably. Some hospitals in Virginia may be hiring Nurse Care Techs (NCT), a position which you can apply for with your CNA license.
CMA can stand for Certified Medication Aide or Certified Medical Assistant, both which perform separate but overlapping duties in the workplace.
How Much Does CNA Training Cost in Rich Creek?
Nursing assistant courses at vocational colleges and allied health schools usually range between $400 and $1200. When choosing a CNA school, learn about all the associated costs required at each institution. Some schools list their program cost as all expenses included. However other schools may also require you to purchase additional materials (such as books, scrubs and materials for your clinicals) which have separate fees from the tuition costs.
CNA Refresher Courses around Rich Creek usually cost around $100-$200.
Need Tuition Assistance?
While many schools do not offer financial aid for students enrolled in their CNA course, some training programs may offer assistance to help with the cost of the course or certification. Also, some CNA employers will even pay for your Nurse Assistant training or reimburse you after you successfully complete your CNA training.
Some employers in Rich Creek will cover a percentage of your CNA tuition; others will pay tuition costs up to a specific dollar amount. Often, new CNAs are required to work a particular number of months at the employer that covered their school bills. Or you may just need to reimburse them for any of the tuition costs they paid on your behalf.
When Can I Start CNA Training in Rich Creek?
Many schools that offer CNA training have new sessions beginning every 6 to 8 weeks. In many areas in Virginia, you can find CNA training starting in May 2015, June 2015, July 2015, or August 2015 available for registration now. Unlike nursing programs in Virginia, you can usually find a school starting a new session of their CNA course fairly quickly. However, some schools offer CNA classes in semester format. At these schools, you may need to wait up 3 or 4 months to start your course.
Becoming a Nurse Aide in Rich Creek a great way to quickly gain experience in the medical field. Check out Virginia CNA Salary info.

Can A Grasshopper And The Ant Republic Survive Long Term?
You remember the story of the Grasshopper and the Ant?
Once there lived an ant and a grasshopper in a grassy meadow.
All day long the ant would work hard, collecting grains of wheat from the farmer's field far away. She would hurry to the field every morning, as soon as it was light enough to see by, and toil back with a heavy grain of wheat balanced on her head. She would put the grain of wheat carefully away in her larder, and then hurry back to the field for another one. All day long she would work, without stop or rest, scurrying back and forth from the field, collecting the grains of wheat and storing them carefully in her larder.
The grasshopper would look at her and laugh. 'Why do you work so hard, dear ant?' he would say. 'Come, rest awhile, listen to my song. Summer is here, the days are long and bright. Why waste the sunshine in labour and toil?'
The ant would ignore him, and head bent, would just hurry to the field a little faster. This would make the grasshopper laugh even louder. 'What a silly little ant you are!' he would call after her. 'Come, come and dance with me! Forget about work! Enjoy the summer! Live a little!' And the grasshopper would hop away across the meadow, singing and dancing merrily.
Summer faded into autumn, and autumn turned into winter. The sun was hardly seen, and the days were short and grey, the nights long and dark. It became freezing cold, and snow began to fall.
The grasshopper didn't feel like singing any more. He was cold and hungry. He had nowhere to shelter from the snow, and nothing to eat. The meadow and the farmer's field were covered in snow, and there was no food to be had. 'Oh what shall I do? Where shall I go?' wailed the grasshopper. Suddenly he remembered the ant. 'Ah – I shall go to the ant and ask her for food and shelter!' declared the grasshopper, perking up. So off he went to the ant's house and knocked at her door. 'Hello ant!' he cried cheerfully. 'Here I am, to sing for you, as I warm myself by your fire, while you get me some food from that larder of yours!'
The ant looked at the grasshopper and said, 'All summer long I worked hard while you made fun of me, and sang and danced. You should have thought of winter then! Find somewhere else to sing, grasshopper! There is no warmth or food for you here!' And the ant shut the door in the grasshopper's face.
It is wise to worry about tomorrow today.
That's the story I thought of when I read this:
Tax Day is a dreaded deadline for millions, but for nearly half of U.S. households it's simply somebody else's problem.
About 47 percent will pay no federal income taxes at all for 2009. Either their incomes were too low, or they qualified for enough credits, deductions and exemptions to eliminate their liability. That's according to projections by the Tax Policy Center, a Washington research organization.
We have a massive, ever expanding federal government and yet, only half of the citizenry: are: : supporting it with their income taxes. Worse yet, the people who are paying the taxes are being incessantly demonized and accused: of: : being selfish by the people who aren't paying. Nobody wants to be forced to pay: other people's: : bills and then to add insult to injury, get the back of their hand as a "thanks."
Eventually, the ants are going to say "enough is enough" and they're either going to give up, retire, cheat on their taxes, move out of the country, or find some other way to safeguard their income from the grasshoppers. Our society shouldn't be backing the people paying the bills into this corner because one day, they will find a way to say,
'All summer long I worked hard while you made fun of me, and sang and danced. You should have thought of winter then! Find somewhere else to sing, grasshopper! There is no warmth or food for you here!'
