text: I would like to point out a mistake. In Mozambique, the large African country on Southern East coast, homosexuality is not a crime. In fact, there is a large LGBTS group that organised the first pride parade in Maputo city last year and there are many people who are open about their sexual orientation. If there is such a law it's an antiquated law that hopefully be changed soon and is not enforced. Also Mozambican marriage laws are ambiguous and technically alone for same-sex marriage, although I have never heard of any same-sex marriages. While Mozambique still has a lot to do in regards to gay rights, it one of Africa's more tolerant countries.

Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Zircon often suffers for its name's similarity to "cubic zirconia," the simulated diamond. The stone zircon, however, is actually a beautiful natural gemstone. It is named from the Persian word "zargun," meaning "gold-colored." This is despite the fact that it comes in a wide range of rainbow colors. The majority of zircons are brown or yellow-brown, while pure red and green are the most valuable colors. The yellow-red to reddish-brown variety is called "hyacinth."
For many years, the most popular type of zircon was the colorless variety. More than any other natural stone, colorless zircons produce a brilliant sparkle similar to diamonds. The most popular color today tends to be the bright pastel blue variety. Sometimes called "starlite," blue zircon has recently become considered an alternative birthstone for December.
Zircon is one of the heaviest gemstones, meaning that it will look smaller than other varieties of the same weight. It ranks a hardness between 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is mined in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar and Australia.
Travelers during the 11th century wore zircon amulets for protection and to encourage welcome greetings on their journeys. In the Middle Ages, the stone was said to bring wisdom and prosperity to its owner. Hindu mythology even mentions the gem when referencing the Kalpa Tree, which was a glowing tree covered with gemstone fruit and leaves of zircon.

Good call on the Jason Bartlett move. That would not be good. Even though Hernandez did not impress me this year, I wouldn't want to lose him for a sub par player.
Agreed. Izturis wasn't their biggest problem last year. The O's need a bopper in the middle of the lineup, not another SS. Somebody to drive in runs and make big innings happen. It's a lineup of singles and gap hitters now.

TiPb Asks: What's your iPhone ringtone?
Marimba, the default iPhone ringtone, is so 2007 -- so we're curious what you're using today? Have you stuck with the built-in tones or have you gone with something custom? Do you just use one ring tone for everybody or have you personalized your favorite contacts?
If so, do you like songs with lyrics or do you prefer instrumentals? Do you keep things musical or do you sometimes go with soundboard clips for that comedic effect? Video game themes, movie themes, rock, hip hop, special effect sounds, celebrity tag lines, sports jingles?
Let us know what you're using, and for those of us looking for some cool new ringtones, what would you recommend?
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

TiPb Asks: What's your iPhone ringtone?
My current ringtone is Born This Way by Lady Gaga. I like songs with words. I set contacts with certain songs that remind me of them. Though I do have the exorcist theme song (tubular bells) set for work so I know its something I probably don't want to answer. I just wish I could use ringtones as text message alerts I used to have some interesting songs before I switched to the iPhone. But either way I love my iPhone and can't live without it!
Area codes by Ludacris and my custom text tone is the main beat from 'thizz damce'. Every time I get a text I'm singing 'can you do the thizzle dance' lol
I have ringtones for my most frequent callers. Anyone I work with (I'm a teacher) has part of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" (We don't need no education). A friend who is a Spiderman fan gets a gypsy guitar version of the Spidey Theme. My principal has the "Imperial March" (you know, Darth Vader's theme), my wife has her own ringtone - Tessie by the Dropkick Murphys, if the house calls my cell it plays the Doctor Who theme, and I have many others.
I love www.myxer.com as it allows you to take any MP3 you have and turn it into a ringtone. So... I ask people what song is their favorite and then make a ringtone out of it for them.
If you aren't in my contact list it plays "Long Way Round" by the Stereophonics. I also occasionally replace that with the theme from the show "Firefly"
The "doorbell" sound from Babylon 5 when someone is at the door of your quarters. Well, I added a little reverb.
It's sort of ridiculous to pay for something like this and their pitch is admittedly obnoxious but i've been using the "JFK HI" tone from this collection for years: http://www.iringpro.com/purchase/zen2_purchase.html
It's very distinct and catching but also very pleasant
Mine is fairly old - it's In A World... by Beau Weaver from TUAW as my default, but I do customize some.
I am, as always, captain default. Marimba, baby! Set for everything, everyone, just like it came out of the box.
I use Plea by Say Anything for my gf so I know it's her and everyone else gets the standard Marimba (which I quite enjoy, though dated it may be).
My DEFAULT ringtone is actually 10 seconds of silence. That way if someone who is not on my contact list calls me my phone won't ring.
I have assigned the theme from Superman (the movie) as my ringtone to my casual contacts.
I use the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' wrist communicator sound as my ringtone, makes me feel like a Power Ranger and brings back childhood memories...now, to get a decent phone watch to go with it.
I use Intros from favourite tracks, made in Garage Band. Walk This Way for my spouse (we love hill walking), Sweet Child of Mine for the kids, Mission Impossible for work contacts, and the default varies between Cinnamon Girl (Neil Young) Pride of Cucomonga (Grateful Dead) and While My Guitar Gently Weeps (The Beatles).
When are we gonna get custom message tones???????????
"Derezzed" by Daft Punk - TRON: Legacy, however almost everyone I talk to on a daily basis has their own unique ringtone. For example, "L's Theme" from Death Note, "What the Hell" by Avril Lavigne, "Victory Fanfare" from FFVII... there are so many and I keep adding them to change it up.
Wow, there are some great ones on here that I never even considered!! I have quite a few different John Mayer songs, and my favorite Keith Urban song "'Til Summer Comes Around" but I made it custom, and the quality doesn't sound too good, so I have to go back in and redo it. I just downloaded the House theme song, which is awesome, but the one I've gone back to time and time again is "Not Afraid" by Eminem, the chorus. Gets my adrenaline pumping every time I get a phone call.
What is this stupid phad with song ringtones? What ever happened to a sophisticated simple ring? The fact that I had to SSH into my jailboken iPhone to dig out the FaceTime ringtone (which I use) is ridiculous. I also have a sweet ring that's used for all the phones in entourage. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want me to share.
My default is currently "Tell me I'm a wreck" by Every Avenue. Otherwise all the important people have custom songs that remind me of them. My boss and all of my clients from work have the ringtone from the One Missed Call movie. And I use "who can it be now" by Men at work for Google Voice (I have it set to show my GV number for the caller ID). You can see and download my collection of ringtones from http://www.mediafire.com/?9ii044eciec83.
A section of The Coming of the Martians from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. It's loud and high pitched so I stand a good chance of hearing it, and in the ~4 years I've had it on several different phones I've never found anyone else with the same ringtone.
I had the Tetris theme, but when I upgraded to 4.3.1, I forgot to resync the ringtones...so I am back to Marimba.
I composed the theme music for a local TV show here in Birmingham Alabama (ABC 33/40). The name of the show is Talk of Alabama. The theme music is my ringtone :)
I'm a big fan of custom ringtones, though I use Marimba for my iPhone alarm. I use Pappa Don't Preach for my father's calls, Mad Men theme for my husband's, Hooked on a Feeling for my general ringtone, and many others for my friends. I love knowing who is calling by hearing their ringtones.
I make custom ringtones from my music collection using Ringer for Mac. I always find good instrumental sections to use. My current default is 'The Scarecrow' by Avantasia.
My default ringtone is a mix from a midi jazz tune in which I substituted a telephone ring for one of the instruments and 3 synthesized voices saying "Your phone is ringing."
I have about 250 ringtones on my iPhone, some by subscribing to the macmost ringtone podcast and some custom created.
I create my own from the beginning of Yazoo's "State Farm", a cool, funky, synth instrumental.
By the way, Dustin, Foreigner sings "Urgent".
My default is "Don't You Wanna Stay" by Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson. I change it about once a week. My fiance's personal ringtone for when she calls is "I Get Carried Away" by George Strait. And, when work calls, my iPhone plays "Take This Job and Shove It" by Johnny Paycheck. :-)
I love the intro instrumental bit from J.Lo's "Get Right". And just load Alvin & The Chipmunks "Low"!!
Team America Theme Song unedited since my bros deployed. Other wise usually He's Mine by Billy Ray Cyrus.
mine is the Door Bell from Star Trek Next Generation because the iPhone always reminded me of those datapads (and I firmly believe you should use an ACTUAL song as a ringtone)
It's the one that I made for TiPb's iPhone 4 giveaway contest. It's special because I won the iPhone from TiPb and now it's my ringtone... :) I love TiPb
When my wife calls, it's Escape Clubs "Wild, Wild, West": "she's so mean, I don't care; I lover eyesand her wild, wild hair; dance to the beat that she likes best".
I'm using the beginning (7 seconds in) of this song from the 'Hanna' soundtrack:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKlRD9Wkyw0
my current ringtone is diamond eyes, by shinedown, its the chorus. i change it up every couple days, with a mix of various others songs. but thats the current one.
This isn't spam, just the best way to let you hear my ringtone:
My wife always complained that I never felt my phone vibrate or heard it ring when she would call me. Made this a ringtone, and I haven't missed a call since.
I love Marimba ringtone even its still my defaul ring tone even though its been a long time since i buy ipod.
I use and love the ringtone from 24. It is distinctive and relatively rare. I always know when the ring is MY phone.
Yea, I just have the standard Xylophone. I used to have several different ringtones. One day, restored my phone, didn't select a new tone. Just left it on Xylophone. It gets the job done.
I recorded my son's cry from when he was three monts old. I love watching people react when my phone rings.

Email, Vulnerable Family Information
This really struck a chord with me. If there is one segment of my genealogy information that I consider to be more vulnerable than the rest it would be that which exists only in email.
For many years, I used Microsoft Outlook as my primary email client for checking my POP3 email account. Consequently, I have literally hundreds of emails that I've received from cousins and family contacts over the years that are stuck in Outlook in its native .pst format. I have faithfully transferred those files to each new computer I've had and I've purchased new versions of Microsoft's Office Suite as needed. So that information is not lost nor is it inaccessible. However, I stopped using Outlook as my email client a couple years ago (in favor of Yahoo Mail and GMail) and I don't want to have to purchase the program ad infinitum to continue to access and store that information.
I would like to get all that email, 1) printed as batch files folder-by-folder so I don't have to print each email individually, 2) converted to a more standard format (preferably .pdf), again, as batch files so I don't have to do it email by email, and 3) exported from Outlook to my GMail account, again, preferably as batches by folder.
If any of my readers can recommend a software program, app, widget, gadget, etc. that could help me accomplish any of these tasks I'd really appreciate hearing from you! Or if you know of a way to accomplish this within Outlook please share the how-to link(s) because I've not been able to find a way to get it done. :-7

Take a look at this Mozillazine article (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_.pst_files) which discusses exporting PST to Thunderbird. They mention several tools you might find useful. Also, you could export your Outlook PSTs to CSV files which, with some creative combining of the resulting files, would become an easily managed - and searched - archive totally outside any email system.
HMMMM..... that sounds like an interesting possibility regardless of email platform.I've been thinking that I would like to do the same thing, having moved from Outlook Express to Gmail some years ago, but never got around to looking for a solution. On my present computer I don't even have OE installed, which means that I have to fire up the old laptop to be able to search the archives - very incovenient.
I am a hoarder, saving all of my sent emails and have many thousands archived. It's not really an option, for me anyway, to save them as a Print File, and if you forward them, you lose the original recipient's name in the header, which is not very handy if you want to sort them.
I'd be interested to hear of a good solution, but I may go hunting myself, now that the issue has been raised elsewhere.
Regards, BrettHappy, happy, joy, joy! Look at all the good ideas here! Thank you all so much for the great suggestions. I'm going to spend some time today trying a few out. I sure will feel better when I know that email of mine is less vulnerable :-D
And thank you Linda for the Ancestor Approved Award. I've received it before and am happy to have received it again. :-)I stopped using outlook specifically and switched to web-based because I use up to three different computers around the home and couldnt' keep everything straight. Now I can read mail from any computer / any place and keep everything sorted into files. All of the are important but the 'critical' ones I print a hard copy and file in surname folders....just in case... so all is well...as long as we stick with Verizon / Yahoo acct... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't received any email replies. I have been trying out some of the suggestions but haven't found just what I'm looking for yet. Henk's suggestion to batch-save a folder of emails as a .txt file was looking really promising but then I realized that the Polish language diacritical marks were all replaced with question marks making those emails impossible to read. And a lot of my email is written in the Polish language.
So then I tried forwarding a batch of email to my GMail account. The problem was, each email was sent as an attachment and they all got the same title, "no name", so I couldn't differentiate between them.
Then I tried uploading a batch .txt to Google Docs but the problem was it included/inserted all the HTML code with it.
The only thing I haven't tried yet was Denise's suggestion to import the emails to Thunderbird because I've never used Thunderbird and quite honestly I don't know what I'd do with them once I got them there. I'd prefer to have them in GMail (1st choice) or Yahoo (2nd choice) which I already use and am familiar with.
I haven't given up, I'm still working the problem!I have Gmail currently configured to retrieve emails received in my old non-gmail POP email account, but that only works for emails that arrive there after you set it up. As you have said, Jasia, as soon as you try to forward any older emails from within Outlokk Express, they lose the old sender name and date from the header record. I need that vital information for sorting and searching purposes, so don't want to do that.
Regards, BrettOK, after some considerable searching and reading on the net, I've discovered that it IS possible to do the third item on your list, i.e. export all of your emails from Outlook Express into Gmail, WITHOUT using any fancy widgets, gadgets, hammers, screwdrivers or any other third party software of dubious origin and unknown integrity. And it's not that difficult either. You don't to have any specialised knowledge, as the facilities are all within Gmail and MS Outlook Express.
I have successfully transferred two batches of about 700-800 emails, and another batch is going through now. Every email ends up in my Gmail Inbox (webmail version, I don't use the POP3 version of Gmail), with full header and attachments intact - pristine, in fact. Very exciting, although I must admit that I'm a little concerned that I'm going to run out of space on Gmail, as I have so many archived emails back to the 1990s, and lots of attachments, sometimes large.
I'm trying to figure out how to give instructions without having to send readers to several different web sites, and in plain English. Perhaps I should post the instructions as a separate article on my own web site, rather than using the comments facility, which is not ideal.
Regards, BrettSorry about the delay folks. I was thinking about posting the instructions on one of my own blogs, but since I don't have one on which it would sit nicely, here goes.
It appears the most efficient, simple way of transferring old email from MS Outlook Express (OE) (or its latest equivalent, Windows Mail) is by using the IMAP protocol. The avoids having to rely on any third party software.
The following steps have been culled and simplified from a number of different sources, on the net. They worked for me, transferring email messages from an old version of OE on an old notebook which I no longer use, but which still works and connects to the internet, into Gmail web mail on my current desktop computer. However, you could just as easily use exactly the same technique for transferring emails from OE into Gmail on the same computer.
A word of warning. It is wise to make sure you have backed up your email messages (in .PST format) on OE before you start this exercise, just in case something goes wrong. You can find instructions on how to do this on the Microsoft web site, here:
Step 1
Enable IMAP in Gmail, as per instructions
1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page.
3. Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
4. Select Enable IMAP.
5. Click Save Changes.
Step 2
Configure Outlook Express for Gmail (IMAP) access, as per detailed instructions
Step 3
1. Open Outlook Express. If Step 2 has been carried out succesfully, you should see both Local Folders and Gmail (imap) Folders listed in the left hand panel.
2. Click on the Inbox in your Local Folder, then select an email message in the main panel.
3. While pressing CTRL, use the mouse to drag this file across into the Gmail (imap) Inbox folder in the left hand panel.
4. Once it has copied the file across, make a note of the addressee/title/date of the email you have just copied. This should give Gmail enough time to import and update. Then open up whichever browser you normally use and log into Gmail in the normal fashion. Browse or search your Gmail (webmail) Inbox for that email. Hopefully you should be able to find it without too much difficulty, as Gmail is so easy to search.
5. Now that you've established that the process works, go back to OE and the repeat the process for the remainder of the files, and then the files in other folders. Of course it is easier to copy them in batches, simply by highlighting a number of files at a time, but beware of trying to copy too many at once, because it could lock up your computer for some time, particularly if, like me, your upload speeds are slow and attachments are large.
Let me know how it works for you, and perhaps I'll think of putting these instructions up somewhere more visible.
Myrtle - Dolly Yockey????
Regards and best wishes, BrettA bit belatedly commenting here but this is how I handle my email:
I use a EverNote v.2, so I have a clipper button in Thunderbird. One click on the clipper button sends the content of the email to EverNote. It's then easily assigned a category (Email - person 1, Email - person 2, etc). For printing, select all notes in a category, and print to pdf.
This will not get your email out of OutLook, but an idea for the future perhaps. I believe it would also be possible to gather email directly from GMail using a similar technique and the clipper button for Firefox.

Former Green Bay Packers safety LeRoy Butler, here greeting fans at a game in July 2000 at Lambeau Field, has gotten an unwelcome greeting from a church that had invited him to speak. / Mike Roemer, AP
Former Green Bay Packers safety LeRoy Butler sent out a simple tweet Monday afternoon: "Congrats to Jason Collins." It wasn't even a full tweet. It was more of a quick, kind, electronic nod to a man in another sport who had made a big personal decision that became public that day.
One would think that someone saying something nice about a fellow human being would be seen in a positive light by almost anyone in this challenging, sometimes hate-strewn world of ours. In particular, you would guess that those who run our churches and other houses of worship would especially appreciate the kindness of one man toward another.
Then, early Wednesday morning, Butler sent another tweet.
"Wow, I was schedule(d) to speak at a church in WI, and a member said that the pastor wants to cancel my event, I said ok why?"
And another.
"Then I was told, because I said congrats to Jason Collins on twitter. I said really? we have a contract. he said check the moral (clause)"
A few minutes later, Butler, who has been retired from the NFL for 11 seasons, posted again on his Twitter account:
"FYI the fee was 8500$, then I was told if i removed the tweet, and apologize and ask god forgiveness, I can have the event, I said no."
The story of Jason Collins' announcement that he is gay has given us one clearly identifiable, courageous and historic figure. That's Collins. It also has revealed at least one unintentional hero, a man whose simple act of kindness apparently sickened those who would be the first to tell us they are preaching the word of God. That's Butler.
This Wisconsin church remains unnamed because Butler has politely chosen not to reveal it. But we do know a little bit about it. It obviously requires anyone who plans to speak there to sign a statement â?? a "morals clause" â?? pledging, for instance, that he or she won't say anything nice about gay people. Now that is one unusual church. Say this for that congregation: It must make life so much easier when you don't have to concern yourself with all that "Do unto others" stuff.
In later tweets, Butler said, "I have received an apology from the church, but mainly thanking me for not releasing the church name, (to) me that's not important." He also said he found out that "some parents went to the church and complained about my tweet for support of Jason Collins."
He finished with two words: "So sad."
He could have added two more: "So illuminating."
We have learned a lot about a few so-called religious people in the past few days. Many of us were raised in a church. I was. So was Butler, and he had the good sense to quote his mother to sum it all up:
"Also my mom says the message is bigger anyway, by the way I was raised in the church, and attend 3 to 4 times a month."
We can guess what the parents of that church were trying to shield their children from: even the hint of a discussion of gay people in American life. These, of course, are children who go to school and go to church, have or will have gay classmates and friends, and someday will be adults living in a country that is almost certain to view gays as equal under the law.
The church's decision to disinvite Butler, though, ultimately prevents the kids from hearing from a four-time Pro Bowler who invented the Lambeau Leap, a man who is known for his work with churches in the state, and who, since his retirement, has thrown himself into his philanthropic work.
Lord knows you wouldn't want the kids to hear about that.

Division of Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation (DLHWC)
September 6, 2013
Notice No. 143
SUBJECT: Maximum and Minimum Compensation Rates Under the Longshore Act, Effective October 1, 2013; Adjustments of Permanent Total Disability and Death Cases
Section 6(b)(3) of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act provides that prior to October 1 of each year, based on the national average weekly wage for the three calendar quarters ending June 30 of that year, the Secretary of Labor shall determine the national average weekly wage (NAWW) to be applicable for the 12-month period beginning October 1. It has been determined that the applicable NAWW for the period beginning October 1, 2013, and ending September 30, 2014, is $ 673.34.
Minimum and Maximum Rates
Section 6(b)(1) provides that the maximum rate of compensation under this Act shall not exceed 200 percent of the national average weekly wage. Therefore, the maximum compensation rate for total disability and death is $1,346.68 (200 percent of $673.34). Compensation for disability subject to this maximum should be paid at 66 2/3 percent of the employee's average weekly wage, as determined under Section 10, subject to the limitation of $1,346.68.
The minimum compensation rate payable for disability incurred after October 1, 2013, is $336.67 per week, which is 50 percent of the NAWW. However, if an employee's average weekly wage is less than this amount, he or she receives his or her entire average weekly wage as compensation for total disability.
In computing death benefits covered by this period, the average weekly wage of the deceased employee shall not be less than $673.34 per week. In addition, under the provisions of the 1984 Amendments, the total weekly death benefits shall not exceed the lesser of (1) average weekly wages of the deceased or (2) 200 percent of the NAWW. The 200 percent maximum benefit is $1,346.68 per week, and is applicable to cases in which the death occurs during the period October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2014, except for District of Columbia Compensation Act (DCCA)1 cases which are not subject to the 1984 amendments.
The above-noted maximum and minimum rates for disability and death also apply to employees covered by the Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentalities Act (NFIA). The minimum rate does not apply to employees covered by the Defense Base Act.
Annual Adjustments
Under Section 10(f) and 10(h) of the amended Act, compensation or death benefits payable for permanent total disability or death cases which were incurred prior to October 1, 2013, are to be increased by the lesser of (1) a percentage equal to the percentage by which the applicable national average weekly wage for the period beginning October 1, 2013, exceeds the applicable national average weekly wage for the preceding period, or (2) 5 percent. (DCCA cases are always subject to the percentage increase in the NAWW without regard to the 5 percent limitation.) The percentage increase in the NAWW is 1.62 percent. As this figure is less than 5 percent, compensation is to be increased by 1.62 percent effective October 1, 2013.
Field or district offices of insurance carriers or self-insured employers paying benefits under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act and related Acts (DCCA, Defense Base Act, Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, and Nonappropriated Fund Instrument-alities Act) will soon receive specific instructions from OWCP district offices and/or from the District of Columbia Government for making the adjustments on Section 10(f) and 10(h) cases, and should begin paying at the new benefit levels as soon as possible.
In case of questions about implementing these mandatory adjust- ments, any district office or the OWCP National Office, Longshore Division (Telephone: (202) 693-0038) may be contacted. For DCCA cases, contact the D.C. Government, Department of Employment Services (Telephone: (202) 671-1000).
