Campaign themes
Barrett's campaign website lists several main issues:
- Creating Jobs: "More than 13,000 of our neighbors in Dutchess and Columbia Counties are unemployed; many thousands more are underemployed. We must get them back to work, and the best way to do that is through smart, sustainable economic growth that takes advantage of the best of our region. We can make use of opportunities like the new Excelsior Jobs Creation Program, which offers incentives to both existing local businesses to expand their workforces and to new businesses that will bring jobs to our region – and keep them here."
- Reforming Albany: "We deserve higher standards of ethics, transparency and accountability from our elected officials. We deserve legislators who are committed to putting the people's work above partisan bickering. Everyone is saying it: Albany is broken. Let's start restoring faith in state government with independent redistricting, campaign finance reform, meaningful ethics standards, and disclosure of outside sources of income."
Didi Barrett for State Senate[9]
- Lowering Property Taxes: "Property taxes are driving businesses out of New York State and residents from their homes. We need to look at real solutions – one example is the circuit breaker tax – so residents are never stretched beyond their means. We've watched our property taxes rise time and again, but our schools are laying off teachers and cutting programs so drastically that younger children will not get the same opportunities that their older siblings had just a few years before. It's clear we need to rethink how we fund our school system, how we tax, and where that money goes."
- Supporting Our Farms: "The Hudson Valley has a rich, diverse agricultural tradition and our working farms provide the scenic backdrop that makes our region such an appealing destination. Keeping farms viable and attracting young farmers is critical to feeding not just local residents but the entire state."
- Protecting Our Environment: "Our region is blessed with incredible natural resources, from the Hudson River on the west to the foothills of the Berkshires on the east. We are the home to extraordinary flora and fauna which contribute to the beauty and appeal of the region as both a place to live and to visit. Protecting our natural resources must go hand in hand with any economic development. Tools such as smart growth principles and Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) can help us maintain the communities and the open spaces that make up the character of this very special region."
- Educating Our Youth: "Simply put, we are letting too many of our children down. As a mother, Didi knows first hand that not all children learn the same way. But every child starts out wanting to be successful and we as a society need to give them the tools to do so. Effective education must remain a priority even during tough times and it requires a collaborative effort of all the stakeholders — parents, teachers, administrators, and community members."
- Preserving Our Liberties: "Our Founding Fathers showed extraordinary wisdom when they drafted our Constitution and established the Bill of Rights. They made it clear: it is not government's place to interfere with the basic rights of its citizens. Didi is committed to protecting a woman's right to control her own body by assuring that all reproductive health services are safe, accessible and affordable for all the women of NY State. Didi believes in marriage equality for all New Yorkers and look forward to sponsoring and passing a bill in the next term. Didi supports the rights of sportsmen and women, as well as the Second Amendment, and Didi believes that New York State's firearms laws should be enforced."

Professional experience
"Didi spearheaded the creation of the Dutchess Girls Collaborative, an alliance of local programs, supporters and providers that address the needs of young women. She helped launch and is a board member of the North East Dutchess Fund (NED) of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, focusing on allocating funds to improve life in the six towns of northeastern Dutchess County. She helped create the pioneering NED Corps program, with Dutchess Community Action Partnership, to deliver greatly needed social services to this rural region."[10]

Before winter, check your pool's chemical balance
UPDATED 11:35 AM EST Nov 15, 2012
Before winter hits and you close your pool for the season make sure your water has a good chemical balance.
A correct chemical balance will protect your pool's surface. To do this you should make sure your pH, total alkalinity and calcium hardness are all balanced.
You might also want to consider adding a winterizing chemical to your water. This can ensure your water will be clear when you open your pool next season.

We are in the process of developing all the support and treatment resources available, throughout the world, for individuals at high risk for Lynch cancers. The biggest fear for individuals with Lynch syndrome is whether or not there will be accessibility to surveillance testing, as well as treatment in the event one were to contract a cancer.
Each and every state within the U.S. offers affordable health care for those persons who are rejected from health insurance companies for possessing a preexisting condition. Administered by individual states and the Federal Government, this program is known as the Affordable Health Act.
As well, Our goal? No more survivors and hundreds of thousands of previvors until a cure can be found. Together we will make a difference.
Any and all resources listed upon any page within this website are not an endorsement of Lynch Syndrome International nor a recommendation of specific organizations, company, corporation, manufacturer, health care provider, product, institutions or facilities by Lynch Syndrome International. By listing resources under our "Support Page," Lynch Syndrome International is merely providing a road map for individuals to follow in their search for healthcare and cancer related services.
Medicaid is a federal healthcare program administered by individual states. The states are authorized to cover colon cancer screening but has the autonomy to decide what kind of screening it will cover and under what circumstances. A federal website (govbenefits.gov) can help you find and determine your eligibility for state-administered programs like Medicaid.
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) offers a program entitled "Screening For Life." This program reimburses local public health agencies for cancer screening. Be certain and ask your local health agency if they participate and if you qualify.
The National Financial Resources Guidebook for Patients by the Patient Advocate Foundation, provides a thorough comprehensive list of resources, state by state, for those in need of financial resources to obtain diagnostic testing, treatment and ongoing surveillance.

The American Cancer Society is a godsend to those of us who have sustained Lynch cancers. They are available to help with almost anything a survivor needs from assistance with head coverings, to the provision of medical services, to providing a warm compassionate person to listen to an anonymous, frightened voice and even transportation to medical appointments. Do not hesitate to contact the American Cancer Society with your needs.
The Federal Government subsidizes thousands of primary health clinics across the United States, known as HRSA Clinics. These are listed with each individual state. The thought is, if one does not have the financial means to obtain necessary screenings and treatment, these resources are always available.
The process would be to personally see a primary care provider at one of these facilities, advise him/her of the high risk to Lynch syndrome by providing evidence of a family history of Lynch cancers or evidence of a direct relationship with a family member with a diagnosed Lynch syndrome mutation and have him/her prescribe genetic counseling and testing for Lynch syndrome, or provide evidence of possessing a Lynch syndrome mutation and requesting the general practitioner refer you to a facility for ordered surveillance testing.
As well, the NCI finances hospital cancer programs throughout the United States. These NCI hospitals and facilities are also listed beneath each state in which they are located, as they provide low cost/no cost health care for those who are in need and who are eligible.

Canongate £7.99 (213pp) (free p&p) from the Independent Bookshop: 0870 079 8897
The Fire Gospel, By Michel Faber
Friday 10 July 2009
In writing this playful noir thriller-cum- The Da Vinci Code pastiche, the versatile Faber shows he can pen an off-the-cuff satire, when needed.
Theo Griepenkerl, a downtrodden academic, is transformed into a literary mega star when he finds, and publishes, ancient scrolls written by Jesus' contemporary.
It is only when he is asked whether his book achieved "what you were hoping it would achieve?" we see his joyless journey as metaphor for an author's existential struggle for and (bathetic) arrival at literary success.

|Mary Marron, RN is the June 2013 DAISY Award Recipient
Mary Marron, RN is the June, 2013 DAISY Award recipient. Mary joined All Children's Hospital in 1992. She is a nurse on 8 North. The DAISY Award is presented monthly to an All Children's Hospital Nurse who has provided extraordinary service to our patients.
I would like to nominate Mary Marron for the Daisy Award. Mary, in her role as my preceptor, serves as a leader, mentor, and educator. I have learned that the rest of the team on 8 North considers her the one they can go to for leadership and mentorship as well. I am honored to have had the opportunity to work with Mary in my transition through orientation as a new nurse. I am constantly impressed with her knowledge and how she is able to apply it to providing exceptional care to our patients and their families. Her ability to turn every situation into a learning experience for me has provided an incredible contribution to my growth as a nurse.
On my last orientation day with Mary she really showed that she will go above and beyond to make sure that I am gaining all that I can from orientation. She set up a mock code scenario in the middle of my day. I had been charting on my other patients when I was informed that there was a baby's pulse oximeter beeping in one of the rooms. Upon entering the room, I found a dummy "blue baby" in the crib, and I immediately knew that I was being evaluated. She had planned this all ahead of time and had several team members involved. She devised a situation in which I had to act quickly and delegate to the other nurses in a very realistic scenario. Mary had set this up for me to show my ability to act under pressure to carry out the proper interventions in a stressful situation. Nurses from the floor came in asking me what I needed from them, what I was doing, and why. It was a great test and a very intense experience. It allowed me to understand and appreciate the importance of our safety checks each shift. Mary's scenario was an incredible learning experience and one that will change my entire approach to nursing. It was so unexpected. It reminded me that at any point in time, a patient can decline and we always need to be prepared for the worst. Most preceptors do not go to these lengths to make sure that new nurses are getting this type of educational experience. It provided me with the opportunity to evaluate my competence and it improved my confidence in my ability to respond in a focused way to a difficult situation.
Not only did Mary go above and beyond in her role as my preceptor, but I have seen that she truly goes above and beyond every day on the floor. Her ability to act as a leader and mentor to the other team members shines each and every day and ultimately results in a positive learning environment for members of the health care team, allowing higher quality patient and family centered care on this unit. More than anything, Mary's attitude is contagious and contributes to a cohesive well-functioning unit. She is never one to be complacent, completing tasks simply because they are ordered. She demonstrates great critical thinking skills when managing her patient's plan of care. When necessary, she recognizes the importance of questioning patient orders and still manages to be considered a well-respected member of the interdisciplinary team. Not only is she competent and a good role model, but her passion and dedication to her patients and their families is what makes her more than deserving of this award. I am honored that I was able to mentor with her and that I will be working with such a fine nurse in the days to come.
Mary's department director, Lisa Moore, RN, MSN, MHA, added:
Mary has been the recipient of numerous Daisy Award and Employee of the Month nominations. The team considers Mary a clinical expert on Pediatric Medicine, as she has many years of experience and cares for patients with all levels of acuity. Mary excels in mentoring our new staff members.
Thank you Mary, for the compassionate care you provide our patients.

Jacob Namminga, one of our radiation safety advisors, spoke to me via Skype about today's sampling trip in a rural area of Japan, to the north west of the Fukushima nuclear plant. We'll be reporting the details of our findings once they are compiled and have been checked, but I asked Jacob to provide some reflections on what today's trip was like. This is what he had told me.
Jacob Namminga
We are staying in a place in Yonezawa, 45 km from Fukushima city called the Smile hotel. It has a giant yellow smiley on it, which under the circumstances is a bit surreal. We have Internet, the electricity is working. We have it rather easy compared to some of the people here who are refugees, having had to leave their homes and who are living just a few kilometres away. We brought a lot of food in from Osaka and try to eat that and avoid local foods and especially milk.
We went to a community centre the other day, a sports hall where 500 refugees were staying. There were mattresses and cardboard boxes that the people were arranging to try to make their own space. But they have no privacy; they all sleep in one common area. Of the 500 people there, I was told about 200 were refugees from the tsunami, and 300 were refugees from the radioactivity.
Refugees in gymnasium
As we found out today, the radiation levels are high in Fukushima city -- our measurements confirmed levels that have been reported in newspapers and by the government -- in some places so high that you would get your "maximum annual dose" (if you believe in such things) in about 8 days. It's a bit strange to see people biking and going about their business.
Woman and child
At 9am we set out from Yonezawa, and drove for one and a half hours toward the region we wanted to make our measurements.
We do not stay in the high radiation areas longer than necessary in order to minimize our own dosages.
It was a beautiful day today with lots of sun. My face is actually a little red -- though that's from solar radiation, and not the radioactivity from the plant.
We kept our measurement gear on, but we had to turn off the audio bleeps on the Geiger counter, its constant sound was driving us nuts. The alarms of the devices can't be turned off, and in particularly high radiation areas they'd all go off. There was one place we hit such a high reading that we didn't even stop there. It was windy and dry, and the dust and snow can carry radioactive particles. So if you step out of the car and get dust or snow on you, you might bring radioactive particles into the car and you don't want that. We moved on quickly.
We met the police at a blockade about 35 km out from the Fukushima nuclear plant, and they let us do measurements. Cars were still going in and out that didn't appear to be relief workers or firemen -- it may be people are getting permission to go in and get their belongings, but I'm speculating. It was not busy, but it wasn't deserted: there were still people going in and out.
My biggest impression of the day was that this is a truly beautiful place – the mountains are breathtaking, and if you don't look at the Geiger counters, it's quite a nice place to be. But you look at the Geiger counters and you realise there's a danger, and that you can't see it with your eyes.

There is already too much dis-information from official agencies. Would be nice if GreenPeace would not replicate this "best practice" by being specific what levels of radiation you're exactly measuring where.

Hi guys, Excellent idea of Greenpeace to really act!!

Thanks to the efforts of Truth, and people like yourselves who are un-covering, perhaps, humankind can start to see the
repercussions of Nuclear Power.
Imagine how many nuclear power plants exactly like these in Japan, are also loaded with "spent" fuel, across this PLANET.
All with no plan for disposal, and no place to dispose of this "spent" fuel!
The "Spent" is "Costing" everyone!!
This can no longer be about money,....it is about LIFE,.. every living being !!!

big business/governments are not to be trusted; thank you for putting your health at risk. I trust your readings and it is needed to have at least an impartial source of this data. I have a gieger counter and will do samples in the Northwest remote locations later this year. Citizens need to step in where governments fail. However, where can this information be distributed to the public. Is there a citizens monitoring website aviable? thanks again for the young people of this planet.

In order for Akira to save her younger brother, who suddenly lost consciousness in the middle of playing in The World, she enters The World as the swords-woman Black Rose. There Black Rose squares off against the double-knife fighter, Kite.
Akira - also known as Black Rose - keeps fighting to save her younger brother's consciousness from "The World." But as she becomes immersed in the online game, Black Rose is beset by even further problems in the real world!
The World is further corrupted as the game expands into our reality. With Aura and her bracelet, BlackRose (aka Akira) discovers the answers to some important questions. They help shed light on Corbenik, the virus at the source of all the trouble. Will Akira, along with the aid of her comrades in The World, be able to save her comatose brother in time?
Average high-school student Midori Shinomura falls mysteriously ill. While she wastes away in a hospital, she learns of another Midori - a fighter of terrible skill in the online game known as The World. There is a strange and close connection between both Midori Shinomura and game-Midori. With the sanity of both girls on the line, game-Midori will try to solve the mysteries of her past, and perhaps save the real-world Midori in the process.
Female Edge Punisher Midori discovers that she was created from the strong will of Midori Shinomura, a girl in the real world who is fighting a losing battle against a mysterious sickness. When the death of one means the death of the other, it's a race against time as in-game Midori and her allies try to unravel the secret behind the mysterious sickness.
"The World" is a massively multiplayer online game played by more than twelve million people across the globe. Within this virtual world Haseo, a PKK (Player Killer Killer), continues an endless fight. However, on finally meeting with his sole lead, a PK called "Tri-Edge," Haseo is dropped back to Level 1 by a mysterious power! Can Haseo save Shino now that he has lost all of his abilities?
Haseo is still fighting to save his friend Shino, who fell into a coma while she was playing the ultra popular online game called The World. However, when Haseo gains the power he has been searching for, Atoli, an Avatar, is taken from him. To make things worse, none of the players logged into The World can log-off now. The anomalies keep piling up... But this is still just the beginning! Can Haseo unravel the mysteries of The World to save Atoli and Shino?
Haseo's quest to rescue Shino continues in the internationally popular multiplayer online game, The World. When Sakaki returns an AIDA-infected Innis Factor back to Atoli, transforming Moon Tree's headquarters into an AIDA server, it's up to Haseo, The Terror of Death, to save Atoli and return Moon Tree back to normal. As Haseo delves closer to discovering the truth behind Tri-Edge, he learns more about his friends and the hardships they face in the real world.
Time is running out for Haseo to save Shino and all of the other Lost Ones. Ovan has announced that he plans to override The World's background story and become a god. If Haseo doesn't stop him soon, CyberConnect Corporation will permanently shut down The World, thereby destroying the only way to save the Lost Ones!
As AI debugger Albireo journeys further into The World, he discovers that there is one AI who cannot be killed with his legendary spear of Wotan. Crossing the rifts of time, his divine weapon - and Albireo's lonely heart - reach one special girl, called Kamui. This story of heroics continues the .Hack series, as AI Buster Volume 2 reveals the hidden truth behind the Twilight Bracelet and the mysterious Record of the Created World.
The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo. A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver's enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 - "Q is for 'question mark.' A world that bears a question." Meanwhile, an aspiring writer named Tengo takes on a suspect ghostwriting project. He becomes so wrapped up with the work and its unusual author that his previously placid life soon begins to come unraveled.
Ms. Kotani believes in her ill-behaved and ill-kempt students, especially the nearly autistic one with an obsession for flies. A Rabbit's Eyes is a touching novel about a young and idealistic first-year elementary school teacher, her hardscrabble class of outcasts, and the reward for her belief in them. A call to action, from Japan's schoolteachers' favorite author.

What other Medspas are saying
"We now have more word-of-mouth referrals and more exposure through our "friends on the Internet." We have added more to our patient base through social media efforts."
Attract more clients and add new cash services.
With more and more adults seeking to halt or reverse the effects of aging on their health and appearance, more and more medical spas, or Medspas, sprang up just prior to the most recent recession to meet the demand.
Though the recession hurt business for many Medspas, those who focus on physician-supervised and results-oriented procedures, such as reducing wrinkles or removing varicose veins, have fared somewhat better. Of the Medspas still around today, most offer a blend of cosmetic services such as minor plastic surgery procedures (e.g. microdermabrasion and Botox®), and more traditional spa services, such as massage, facials, skin care and nail care. An increasing number are offering physician-supervised weight loss programs, as well.
How do you know which services are best for consumers in your area, and which services will bring you the best ROI? What Med spas marketing, Web and social media strategies will help you attract the right clientele for your practice and keep them coming back for more services?
Practice Builders offers proven Med spa marketing ideas, plan and strategies developed over 30 years in practice marketing.
For a complimentary consultation on how to establish practice marketing success for your Medspa, please provide the below information and we'll contact you to schedule a call with a Practice Builders Marketing Consultant. Or, call us today at 800.679.1200.

Aimi Jones, 21, uploaded a photo of the yellow mustard dress she was selling on eBay Saturday morning not knowing she appeared in the mirror's reflection in her bra and no panties, The Sun reported.
"It's so embarrassing. It is such a dizzy, stupid thing to do and now the whole world's seen me in the nude," Jones told The Sun. "I put it on eBay last Saturday morning and realized straight away so ended the sale. But what I didn't realize was that people could steal it on the site."
The photo went viral even after Jones removed the post and is now all over the internet.
Since then, Jones re-listed the item on eBay, this time posing next to it fully dressed. Due to the original photo, the item has earned a lot more money than she ever imagined. The 'ASOS yellow skater dress' is still up for bidding at the site, the latest offer was for £100,500.

GARETH DUNCAN watched flyhalf Tom Taylor convert five penalties to give the Crusaders a 15-11 win over the Reds in Christchurch.
While Sunday is a day of rest for many, the Crusaders and Reds faced off in physical, close contest. Both teams delivered strong defensive performances in the afternoon brawl, but in the end, the Reds' ill-discipline proved costly.
The Crusaders capitalised with their superior scrum and smarter approach to the breakdown battle, which saw the Reds concede several penalties in kickable areas. Taylor stepped up and slotted five of his six goal attempts in an impressive kicking display. Two of his three-pointers sailed over during the final 10 minutes of the game and sealed the win.
In the opening moments of the match, the Reds got off to the perfect start as hooker James Hanson crossed the chalk in the first minute of play. Both teams were defensively strong thereafter, but the Crusaders managed to edge ahead through two Taylor penalties.
The visitors had the opportunity to secure the lead, but inside centre Mike Harris missed two goal attempts in the first stanza (a conversion and penalty), which saw the Reds trail 6-5 at half-time.
The kicking contest continued in the second 40 as Taylor and Harris traded a penalty each. Then the Crusaders suffered a massive blow in the 60th minute.
The Reds found space down the left touchline and their attack surged into the hosts' territory. In an attempt to force play in to touch, reserve prop Wyatt Crockett dived into scrumhalf Will Genia without any arms. His challenge was late and deemed dangerous, and the front rower was sent to the sin bin.
Harris converted the resulting penalty, giving the Reds an 11-9 lead, but they couldn't add any more points with their one-man advantage.
When restored to 15 men, the Crusaders built momentum and won the ascendancy up front. The Reds leaked two penalties in their red zone at the death – one at the breakdown, while reserve wing Rod Davies was isolated after poor decision to run the ball and was penalised for holding on. Taylor did his job with the boot and the Crusaders clinched their fourth consecutive victory.

A year after a major overhaul of the California correctional system led to fears of felons overwhelming Orange County jails, courtrooms and streets, assessing the effects of the historic shift remains a work in progress.
Some agencies cite an increase in crime, others a lower recidivism rate. While skeptics question whether new sentencing guidelines are too lax, others say the state's prison realignment program has shifted California's justice system away from warehousing bodies and toward rehabilitation.
What law enforcement officials do agree on is the fact that the state's prison-realignment program has been one of the largest changes to California's justice system, affecting nearly every public agency at city, county and state levels.
Intended to end years of federal court oversight of a prison system that had grown so overcrowded that it violated prisoners' rights against cruel and unusual punishment, a state law mandating "inmate realignment" took effect on Oct. 1, 2011. The law drastically cut the state prison population by shifting the responsibility of inmates deemed "low risk" to the county level.
Convicted felons considered "nonviolent, nonserious and non-sex" offenders now serve time in local jails, while eligible offenders released from state prison are being supervised by county probation officers.
Some of the effects were immediate:
•The statewide prison population dropped by 22,000 in the first six months. The number of released offenders supervised at the state level dropped by 16,000. State prisons that were at 200 percent capacity dropped to 155 percent.
•An influx of prisoners forced Orange County Sheriff's Department officials to reopen sections of local jails and revive plans to expand the minimum-security James A. Musick Facility. Officials began exploring contingency plans should they run out of bed space.
•Orange County probation officials hired officers as caseloads swelled. Probation expanded relationships with police and moved forward with plans to increase rehabilitative programs for convicts.
•Municipal police assigned investigators to special units focused on those released under new supervision guidelines and have taken part in several sweeps targeting the new population of offenders.
•The average length of stay in county jail has increased, and officials say they are handling inmates that are more criminally astute and dangerous in county facilities.
•The Orange County Health Care Agency has faced increased costs and work as it cares for inmates with long-term health needs, as well as more inmates with substance abuse issues and mental health disorders.
But after tackling some of the immediate effects, the answers to larger questions of whether the shift has led to an increase in crime in Orange County or how the county will adapt to significant changes in the criminal justice system remain elusive.
The fear of increased crime has kept law enforcement officials wary since the beginning of realignment.

We got this for SWMBO's mom and before giving it we obviously tried it on. This this is like walking around in a sleeping bag but more stylish and practical. My g/f loved it so much, her mom almost didn't get it. It's really warm and cozy, if you want a jacket that will keep you warm, this is right up your alley.
How did I ever survive winter before this coat? It's so incredibly warm. It's like wearing a sleeping bag but better looking. My wool coats just sit there in my closet because this coat is so cozy and great. I love the fleece lining, the fleecy pockets, and the length of the coat (great for sitting down on cold surfaces outdoors). The hood and removable faux fur trim are really warm too. This coat does look a little bulky on me, but I'm fine with looking a little like the Michelin man because this coat is so nice and toasty. It would have been nice, though, if this coat were water-resistant... it tends to look damp after walking through a snowstorm.
This is my first down coat, and I looked for a long time before settling on this one. It's soft and lightweight and a joy to put on in the cold northeast winter. Hard to avoid all puffiness in these coats, but the drawstring at the waist helps. When it arrived totally flat in a small box, I thought there was no way the coat could do the job. But it's kept me very warm in windy, 20-30 degree weather so far. The little features--like the fleece-lined upper zipper, so it doesn't chafe at the mouth/chin---are the best. I'm 5'2", and the medium comes to my mid-thighs. If you're a tall gal, you may want to consider this when purchasing.
Bought this coat based on the reviews being mostly great. But this coat has 3 big drawbacks. 1) Needs to have snaps on front as an option to zipping 2) Needs to have drawstring at bottom of coat so cold wind doesn't blow up into coat (as it does now)3) Is not windproofI think this coat is not as warm as it promises to be. I was going to return it but needed it right away. I wouldn't suggest this coat if you live in a windy area. Pros:1) The fleece inside - just makes it soft. Not really adding to any warmth. 2) I do like the cuffs inside the sleeves.3) Is a "packable" coat - stores really small. Can squish coat into a small space.Hope this helps!Lori - NY
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks Moosejaw!!! I love wearing this coat for cold Canadian winters, it's not heavy or bulky, fits nicely and wonderfully warm. Could not find a better price than Moosejaw, and I tried really hard. I am 5'4" and 110 lbs, and I ordered an XS and it fits perfectly with some room for layering. Did I mention the custumer service? Awesome!!
I bought this in Large for my wife whom is 5'9 and slender (I am not going to disclose weight, but she is quite fit) she always has issues with coats fitting her sleeve length. The sleeves fit perfectly and as other reviews state the drawstring at the waist will gather excess material. Her only complaint so far is that it is too warm for the mild winter we have had thus far. She is looking forward to being able to wear more consistently when the temp hits teens and singles.
This coat stands out against others! The down fill is thick and warm, and I can attest to that through last winter. Even with temperatures in the low teens with wind chill, I was comfy and warm in the MH Downtown. I wore it to work over my dressy clothes, and also wore it casually--goes with everything. The fur trim around the hood is nice and doesn't fall out, and it frames the face well. Also the fit of the hood is outstanding. I wore this with the hood up many times, and it allowed a great range of motion. The cuffs at the sleeves are a great selling point -- they don't let the cold air in!
This jacket is A-MAZ-ING. I'd always bought the department store jackets before that weight about 15 pounds and don't keep you that warm and finally invested in this super warm down coat after moving to Chicago. I was skeptical about how warm it would be after arriving in a super tiny box, but after being out and about in downtown Chicago, I actually had to unzip the coat at times because I was so toasty. Beware though if you have long arms, I originally ordered an extra small with my average size being a zero, and the arms are cut a little short so I moved up to a small. Other than that this coat will be your best friend out in the snow.
. . no joke. By far the BEST coat out in the market as I own many many many. I also have the shorter version of this. The inside of this coat is especially the BESTpart. So padded, soft and molding. You will pick this up every time you go out. I live in Buffalo, and wore it in 9 degree F weather. It kept me so warm and comfortable. Trust me, you will not be disappointed it. True to size. LOVE LOVE . . worth every little cent. I loved it so much I had to buy both the long and short version. I feel like I'm neglecting the other 30 coats I own in my closet! Moooooooosejaw rocks!!!! Getting ready to use my REWARD points for some FREE stuff : )
This coat is the perfect length (I'm 5'9" 140) and it keeps me so warm on long walks to and from class and the parking lots. The temps can be around 10 - 20 degrees with winds up to 30mph and I'm toasty warm in this coat. It's not bulky at all and stores away nicely when I'm not using it in the summer, fall, and spring. The pockets are nice and warm too if you don't have gloves on. So glad I purchased this coat. LOVE IT!

The boys' parents dedicated their lives to caring for their younger sona challenging, often painful experience that their father detailed in a bestselling trilogy of books.
Boy Alone is Karl Taro Greenfeld's unforgettable memoir of growing up in Noah's shadow, revealing the complex mix of rage, confusion, and love that defined the author's childhooda beautiful, haunting, and wholly original exploration of what it means to be a family, a brother, a person.

Public and Private Firm Compensation Compared: Evidence from Japanese Tax Returns
2009, Korean Economic Review
Minoru Nakazato, J. Mark Ramseyer, Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Most studies of executive compensation focus on publicly traded companies. The high levels of compensation there are often attributed to agency slack due to ownership by diffused shareholders. If so, pay at private companies more closely held should be much lower. Governments in the United States and elsewhere do not require the pay of executives in private companies to be publicly disclosed, but until 2004 the tax office of Japan published the name and tax liability of any individual paying over about $100,000 in tax. We match this tax data with rosters of some 1,400 presidents of public and 4,100 presidents of private corporations. We find that public and private company presidents have similar incomes. Both groups earn incomes that rise with the size and profitability of the firm, but the presidents' incomes are more sensitive to profitability at public firms than at private ones. In Japan, at least, public firms pay their presidents no more than private firms do, and tie that compensation more closely to observable performance benchmarks.
Rasmusen, Eric Bennett, Minoru Nakazato and J. Mark Ramseyer (2009), "Public and Private Firm Compensation Compared: Evidence from Japanese Tax Returns," Korean Economic Review, Vol. 25, No. 1, Summer, 5-34.
