Affluenza is a term used by critics of consumerism, a portmanteau of affluence and influenza. Sources define this term as follows:
Proponents of the term consider the costs of prizing material wealth vastly outweigh the benefits. They claim those who become wealthy will find the economic success leaving them unfulfilled and hungry for more wealth. The condition is considered particularly acute amongst those with inherited wealth, who are often said to experience guilt, lack of purpose and dissolute behavior, as well as obsession with holding on to the wealth (John Levy's Coping with Inherited Wealth - see ).
Critics of the term suggest that the term is a ghastly neologism, which relies upon a viral metaphor to describe an ill-defined social anxiety.
James also believes that higher rates of mental disorders are the consequence of excessive wealth-seeking in consumerist nations. . He cites World Health Organization data that English-speaking nations have twice as much mental illness as mainland Europe: 23% vs 11.5% suffered in the twelve months ending . James defines affluenza as 'placing a high value on money, possessions, appearances (physical and social) and fame,' and this becomes the rationale behind the increasing mental illness in English-speaking societies. He explains the greater incidence of affluenza as the result of 'Selfish Capitalism,' the neo-conservative or Market Liberal political governance found in English-speaking nations as compared to the less selfish capitalism pursued in mainland Europe. James asserts that societies can remove the negative consumerist effects by pursuing real needs over perceived wants, and by defining themselves as having value independent of their material possessions.
They note that a number of Australians have reacted by "downshifting" — they decided to "reduce their incomes and place family, friends and contentment above money in determining their life goals." Their critique leads them to identify the need for an "alternative political philosophy," and the book concludes with a "political manifesto for wellbeing" (see ).
The term affluenza was popularized in the United States by the 1997 documentary of the same name from KCTS and Seattle and Oregon Public Broadcasting. John de Graaf, producer of the documentary, also co-authored a book with the same title.
Affluenza is mentioned in Chumbawamba's song Buy Nothing Day.
Radio talker Rush Limbaugh regularly runs a parody advertisement mocking the concept and suggesting that those "stricken with affluenza" can be cured by listening to his program.
Affluenza is also mentioned in the song "1 and 3", from the punk-rock band MxPx
"We're possessed, obsessed in turn we're more depressed we're doomed, consumed we gotta get that monkey off our backs affluenza, a-fflu-enza!"

In science it is very important that ideas be communicated and preserved and best way to do it is in writing down. Before 15th century, thinkers/philosophers/scientists used to write their thought as manuscripts. It was in 15th century that printing press was invented. This discovery was a great breakthrough for science as it made possible the copies of manuscripts with less effort and communication of scientific thoughts become easier.

Once you have the proper sized wrenches/sockets to take it off you may well find that you need a bit of heat. A propane torch used with MAP gas instead of propane will do the trick of heating up those nuts so that they come loose easily.
Once you've got it off you can go home and reward yourself with a nice hot shower and consider the fact that it hasn't been doing anything for quite some time, if ever, in the way of sacrificing itself and yet you have no degradation to your metal fittings. Then you can consider just leaving the thing off like half the other boats in fresh water do. It appears that no sacrifices need be made. (No, I am not a politician!) I would remove it though as it's going to do active harm to your strut at some point.

Ending the fortnight-long suspense about their future, over 100 children from Jharkhand, allegedly trafficked to Kerala for being taken to orphanages, were sent back home by the Ernakulam-Patna express from Palakkad, police said on Tuesday. As many as 119 children and a team of over 20 officials of Kerala and Jharkhand left last night in two Air Conditioned coaches, jointly arranged by the two state governments, they said.
Transportation of over 500 children from eastern states like Jharkhand, Bihar and West Bengal without proper documents two weeks ago has snowballed into a big issue, bringing orphanages run by charity trusts under the scanner.
A case was registered after the railway police detained the children on their arrival by a train two weeks ago, followed by the arrest of ten persons who accompanied them.
Though it was intially dubbed as a clear case of human trafficking, many of the 500 children were later found to have proper documents and taken to the respective orphanages with the consent of their families.
The Government had ordered a police investigation in the case to ascertain whether it was a case of 'human trafficking' or it just involved precedural lapses. Though over 150 children from Jharkhand had been brought to the state last month, some of them had already gone back home with their parents, they said.
Besides officials from Jharkhand, Social Justice and Child welfare officials from Bihar and West Bengal also arrived in Kerala, but they were yet to complete the verification process regarding the children brought from their respective states.
Most children have been lodged in state-run juvenile homes of the Child Welfare Society in Palakkad, Malappuram and Thrissur.

I have always enjoyed Giu artistic efforts and humour.
Im not sure Im even totally understanding this one however.....If your right Smack and he is questioning the wind speeds quoted in my post, I direct everyone's attention to the following link.
Hamilton Island, Qld - November 2008 - Daily Weather Observations
This is the ACTUAL wind speeds recorded by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology on Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays. Have a look at Friday 21st November 2008, the day in question. Its easy to find, its the one with the really big numbers in red. Obviously I wrote parts of my story very tongue in cheek, I however am not a liar.

Ortega slay witness killed, says PAO
More News from Delfin Mallari Jr., Maricar Cinco, Redempto Anda
PUERTO PRINCESA CITY – A witness in the 2011 murder of broadcaster-environmentalist Dr. Gerardo Ortega was strangled inside the Quezon provincial jail in Lucena City and did not commit suicide as declared by prison officials, results of a second autopsy showed.
"He had contusions in the hands and feet. He was hit in the eye… He died of asphyxia but he did not die hanging," Dr. Erwin Erfe, director of the Public Attorney's Office (PAO) forensic lab, said in a phone interview yesterday.
Erfe revealed the same findings at a press conference at PAO headquarters in Quezon City.
Dennis Aranas, 37, who had been tagged as a lookout in Ortega's murder, was found hanging inside his detention cell at the district jail in Lucena City in Quezon on Feb. 5. His family doubted the results of an autopsy conducted by the National Bureau of Investigation that he died of "asphyxia by hanging."
On Sunday, PAO chief Persida Acosta told the Philippine Daily Inquirer by phone that Aranas had bruises in the arms and legs, swelling and contusions that could indicate he was a victim of foul play.
"Have you seen someone who had undergone [fraternity] hazing rites? That's how it looked like," said Acosta, after a PAO forensic doctor ran a re-examination of the body on Sunday noon at Funeraria Popular in San Pablo City in Laguna.
"Clearly, he was mauled," she said.
Acosta said Aranas' family took pictures of the body immediately after he died. "I did not immediately show the pictures to our forensic doctor. When he stepped out of the examination room, he said he, too, saw the bruises," she said.
Chief Superintendent Serafin Barretto Jr., director of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology in Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon), questioned the PAO's jurisdiction to examine the body.
"That's not their job. Their role is attend to legal matters," said Barretto, who stood by the NBI report.
Aranas was "still breathing" when he was found but died in a hospital after a few hours, he said. He said the NBI conducted the autopsy on the same day before the body was released to the family.
In Manila, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima yesterday ordered the NBI to look into Aranas' death.
She told reporters that Aranas was provisionally admitted into the Department of Justice's witness protection program, which meant he was still under evaluation and had not yet been fully covered by the program.
Aranas offered to become a state witness but was released from the program because of a separate case that landed him at the Lucena jail.
The alleged triggerman in the Ortega killing is facing a new murder case in Quezon province, which could land him in a similar jail facility where Aranas died under doubtful circumstances.
Marlon Recamata is being summoned for inquest proceedings in a murder case docketed as No. 10492-09 before the sala of Judge Maria May Zafranco-Redor of the Regional Trial Court in Pagbilao town in Quezon.
An Inquirer source in the Puerto Princesa police said the confessed hit man, who has been staying in the city jail for the past two years, expressed fears for his life once he is transferred to another facility.
Recamata is scared that he will suffer the same fate as Aranas, according to the source, who asked not to be named for lack of authority to speak on behalf of the accused.
Recamata, who acts as "mayor" (cell leader) in the jail facility here, has been awaiting judgment after confessing his role as gunman in the Jan. 24, 2011, killing of Ortega, the source said. "[He] believes his safety is assured if he remains in this jail," the source added.
Chief Supt. Abad Osit, Puerto Princesa police chief, said he had received two summons so far from Redor to bring Recamata to Lucena.
"We are asking the court to find ways so that he remains here. It is also difficult for us to put up the resources to bring him there and ensure his security," Osit said. With reports from Jeanette Andrade and Christine O. Avendaño in Manila

Heavy Drinking Undergraduates Who Are Impulsive, Aggressive May Be At High Risk For Alcohol Problems
-Researchers used an anonymous online survey to examine drinking patterns and personality traits.
-Results identified three groups, two of which drank at fairly high levels.
-The group with higher levels of impulsivity and aggression appears most at-risk for future alcohol problems.
In a national survey of undergraduates, roughly six percent met criteria for current alcohol dependence (AD), and approximately 31 percent met criteria for current alcohol abuse. While many undergraduates "mature out" of heavy alcohol use after graduation, a minority will continue to abuse alcohol and be at risk for alcohol-related problems. This study investigated which undergraduates are most likely to engage in high-risk drinking, using alcohol-use disorder (AUD) criteria and binge-drinking endorsement as identifiers.
Results will be published in the January 2012 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research and are currently available at Early View.
"Many, if not most, undergraduate college students reduce their level of drinking after they graduate from college and are no longer in the environment that led to their drinking," said Cheryl L. Beseler, a researcher at Colorado State University and corresponding author for the study. "Some of the reduction is motivated by having to take on adult responsibilities, such as employment and starting a family. However, some young adults continue to drink at levels that increase their risk of an AUD. We do not yet understand why this occurs, but probably the reasons include genetic and personality factors and interactions between them. Therefore, we included in our study assessments of potentially relevant aspects of personality as well as family history, which is a proxy for genetics."
"The general issue of predicting chronicity of alcohol problems or excessive alcohol use at any age is important since the course of heavy drinking and AUDs is variable across individuals," noted Kenneth J. Sher, Curators' Professor of psychological sciences at The University of Missouri and the Midwest Alcoholism Research Center. "Certainly being able to establish a prognosis for college-student problem drinkers would be helpful information both to the drinker and to those providing services to them. While it would be helpful to have more longitudinal data, it certainly seems likely that the more severe groups would have poorer prognosis, regardless if students or nonstudents."
Researchers analyzed data from an anonymous online survey of 361 undergraduates (265 females, 96 males) — including items from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Disorders – Fourth Edition that clinicians use to diagnose an alcohol dependence and/or abuse problem — to help identify drinking patterns and personality traits.
"Our most interesting finding is that we found two groups of college students who drank at fairly high levels," said Beseler, "but one group was more inclined to drink to feel better, more impulsive, and more aggressive than the other group, which also drank a lot of alcohol." These two groups were the latter of three groups identified: the largest class (n=217) primarily endorsed tolerance, none were considered AD; the middle class (n=114) endorsed primarily tolerance and drinking more than intended, 34.2 percent met criteria for AD; the third class (n=30) endorsed all criteria with high probabilities, all met criteria for AD.
"Using state-of-the art statistical techniques, this manuscript shows that there is a continuum of problematic alcohol involvement and this can be represented via either a dimensional or a categorical approach to representing this severity," said Sher. "Individuals with more severe problems tend to be higher on risk factors that have been previously shown to be associated with alcohol problems."
In response to a query about the possibility of skewed results due to the large number of female respondents in the sample, Sher noted that "the issue isn't the proportion of women in the sample but, rather, how representative the sample is of the population from which it was drawn. As currently described, it is difficult to determine if sampling bias materially affected the results reported." Beseler pointed out that they found very little difference in the amount of alcohol that the women drank compared to the men, and contended that a higher number of young men in the sample would have simply led to more extreme differences in the impulsivity and aggression group as young men tend to score higher on these scales than young women.
"If a college student knows they drink to make things more fun, is impulsive, and has a history of aggressive behavior, they may want to monitor their drinking," said Beseler. "If a parent knows his or her child possesses these traits, they should be aware of the risks these personality traits might pose if their child is drinking too much. Additionally, those who treat alcohol problems in young adults may want to screen for these behaviors in their patients."

ERODE: The high prevalence of HIV in Southern States has to do with better detection, Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Subbulakshmi Jagadeesan has said. Participating at the inauguration of Red Ribbon Express, which arrived in Erode on Monday for a day's halt to spread AIDS awareness, she said the impression that one got from the figures was that there were more AIDS cases in the South, which is not true.
"Here, people have more awareness. As more people come forward to test blood there is better detection of HIV cases. This is the reason for high prevalence," she explained and added that it also had to do with good AIDS control programmes.
Ms. Subbulakshmi was referring to a map put up aboard the Red Ribbon Express, in which the red lamp indicating high-risk category lit the entire South. She attributed the low prevalence in the North to the poor awareness level among the public.
The Minister pointed out that Tamil Nadu, which topped the chart of AIDS-affected states, had performed well to slip to the fourth position.
On the social ostracism of affected people, she said it was worse than the disease. "The affected people die more due to psychological distress caused by neglect than the syndrome." What they required was care, kindness and acceptance from the family and society, she added.
Minister for Handlooms and Textiles N.K.K.P. Raja said preventing AIDS was in national interest. The governments had and have been waging a war against AIDS, which in the last 38 years after discovery had spread fast.
He added that the State Government and district administration would continue fighting AIDS.
Collector Mahesan Kasirajan said there should be no hesitation in testing for AIDS, and pointed out that there were different methods of transmission.
Erode Mayor K. Kumar Murugesh, Joint Director of Health V. Nagarajan, Government doctors and others participated in the function.

Delta Monitor single handle for shower no set screw. How do I remove it
How do I remove it?
Post a picture---some one will know---I never remember the names of the fixtures--just what they look like---
if there is no set screw handle would fall off.....get some small alan wrenches .....picture would also help...:yes:
There indeed should be a set screw per this parts diagram. If it doesn't come off then it's either seized on or maybe there's silicon where there shouldn't be. Other than that without a pic we're guessing.
Pop the cap off the shower handle & unscrew the Phillips screw in there.
Barb, please don't create more accounts to ask questions. I moved all responses from your other threads to this thread.

Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn't heard her come in it caused an involutary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction.

Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius is "numb with shock, as well as grief" after the shooting to death of his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp at his home in South Africa, the runner's uncle said on Saturday, as his family "strongly refutes" charges that he planned to kill her.
Arnold Pistorius spoke to The Associated Press and two other South African journalists about his nephew's arrest in the killing of Steenkamp, who was shot four times on Valentine's Day. Arnold Pistorius spoke to reporters at his home in the eastern suburbs of South Africa's capital, Pretoria.
The statement, the first on camera and directly made in person by Pistorius' family, also came out strongly against prosecutors seeking to upgrade the charge against Pistorius to one of premeditated murder, which carries a sentence of life in prison.
Arnold Pistorious said: "After consulting with legal representatives, we deeply regret the allegation of premeditated murder. We have no doubt there is no substance to the allegation and that the state's own case, including its own forensic evidence, strongly refutes any possibility of a premeditated murder."
The track star's arrest in the killing of the 29-year-old Steenkamp shocked South Africa, where Pistorius, dubbed the Blade Runner for his high-tech prosthetics and revered for overcoming his disability to compete in the London Games, was a national hero. She was discovered in a pool of blood before dawn on Thursday by police in Pistorius' upscale home in a gated community in Pretoria. Authorities said she had been shot four times, and a 9 mm pistol was recovered at the home. Pistorius remains held at a police station pending a bail hearing this coming Tuesday.
Arnold Pistorius did not discuss the circumstances of the shooting, but said that his nephew and Steenkamp had become very close since they started dating in November last year.
"They had plans together and Oscar was happier in his private life than he had been for a long time," his uncle said.

Who's Afraid of Progressive Power?
New York's Democratic nominee for attorney general prevailed in a hotly contested primary this September in a way candidates aren't supposed to these days: by running to the left of his rivals. Under the banner of "economic fairness, social justice and real reform"—and reminding voters that he wrote last year's legislation undoing New York's wildly punitive Rockefeller drug laws—State Senator Eric Schneiderman edged out Kathleen Rice, a former homicide prosecutor.
Schneiderman won with a surge of votes in his native New York City, where at lunchtime on primary day he made his way to downtown Brooklyn, flanked by a pack of elected officials and volunteers. From Governor David Paterson and Congresswoman Yvette Clark to the young City Council aides handing out fliers, Schneiderman's campaigners had one thing in common: an affiliation with the Working Families Party, the most influential progressive force in the state.
Schneiderman came into office in 1998, the year the Working Families Party first secured a spot on New York ballots. Since then, the party has put progressive candidates in office and given the state legislature its first Democratic majority in generations through aggressive outreach to voters—and an unusual feature of New York elections. Under "fusion" voting, candidates in a general election can run as the nominee of more than one party, upending the usual dynamic of third-party politics that curses minor-party candidates with the Nader effect, in which a vote on their party line denies it to a major party nominee. In fusion states, third parties "cross-endorse" major-party candidates so that every vote counts. By tallying voters on their own ballot line, third parties influence turnout—and the agendas of the candidates they support.
Under normal circumstances, Schneiderman, an important Working Families Party ally, would have been a shoo-in for the party's early endorsement. But unlike in every other election he's run in, Schneiderman was not the party's nominee on primary day this year, and his campaigners took great pains to note that they were not there at the party's behest.
The shadow hanging over the race, and the Working Families Party itself, was cast by the current attorney general, Andrew Cuomo. In order to maintain its ballot line, the party needs to win at least 50,000 votes in the governor's race in November. To survive, it has hitched itself to Cuomo as its nominee.
In exchange for his support, Cuomo demanded that the Working Families Party hold off on endorsements for governor and attorney general until after the September primary. He then insisted that the party sign on to his entire policy agenda, which includes a property tax cap, a freeze on state budgets and worker pay, and a reversal of one of the party's signature successes—a tax hike on households earning more than $250,000 a year.
Cuomo was emboldened by a loose coalition of conservatives and business leaders deeply opposed to the Working Families agenda and threatened by the elevation of labor unions and progressive allies to such heights of influence. Opponents have mounted increasingly vicious attacks seeking to maim—or kill—the party. A federal investigation, subsequently withdrawn, and a lawsuit alleging campaign finance violations in the party's canvassing operation forced the party to divert funds and energy to the cause of defending its existence.
The voice of opponents has been amplified by hostile media. The editorial page of the Daily News called the possibility of the party's demise a "pleasing prospect"—pleasing, certainly, to owner and Boston Properties CEO Mortimer Zuckerman, whose nemesis is building workers local 32BJ, a major player in the Working Families Party. The Rupert Murdoch–owned New York Post called Working Families a "squidlike party" "expert at growing tentacles to stay one step ahead of the law" and "a clearinghouse through which elected officials are bought and sold by New York's public-employee unions." The Post repeatedly called on Cuomo to renounce the party's "corrupt" ballot line.
As such, the party came to Cuomo with a weak hand. Although the lawsuit and investigation proved frivolous, defending itself against the charges had drained the party's resources. Running its own third-party candidate would have come at too high a cost. Instead, as Dan Cantor, the party's executive director, explained in a statement announcing the Cuomo endorsement, "We will be fighting for his electoral victory in November and then fight for legislative passage of his New NY Agenda in January," adding that the executive committee "unanimously" agreed to this decision.
Cuomo's downsize-government agenda was a bitter pill for the Working Families Party to swallow. Now that Cuomo is carrying the party line, leaders have to convince constituents that the party is not an accomplice to a rush to the right for New York. Once in office, he will be under constant pressure from the right to keep Working Families in line. The political action committee New Yorkers for Growth, led by state GOP chief Ed Cox, responded to the Working Families endorsement with a Shepard Fairey–style mash-up depicting Cuomo as Che Guevara. The big money in New York State politics—from real estate and Wall Street—is backing Cuomo against Tea Partyer Carl Paladino and expects to be taken care of in return.
In order to get Cuomo on board again in 2014, Working Families will have to spend the next four years showing deference—at least publicly—on issues it once would have pushed aggressively from the left. The party that just this spring declared it would support only those candidates who pledge to tax Wall Street bonuses will have to soften one of the main planks of its agenda—the pursuit of economic justice—in a state that is home to some of the nation's wealthiest people and a large concentration of its poorest.
Which raises the question: why have a progressive party if it isn't free to be, well, progressive? "It's hard not to compromise your principles," observes a consultant close to the party. "The history of the party is one of expedient political decisions along the way for institutional reasons. It's understandable, but how much is too much? At what point have you lost your way?"
* * *
The answer to these questions has implications far beyond New York's borders. In November voters in six fusion states—Connecticut, Oregon, Delaware, South Carolina and Vermont, in addition to New York—will have the opportunity to vote for Working Families candidates in state and federal elections. In Connecticut Dan Malloy is running for governor as a Working Families candidate, as is Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal—both could receive a crucial edge in tight races against Republican opponents. Although the party doesn't yet have the critical mass outside New York to move legislation—it just got on the ballot in Oregon and Connecticut in 2008—it is already using its canvasses and campaigns to bring urgent proposals into the mix, including the creation of a state bank in Oregon that would handle taxpayers' money in a public trust. A bill that would mandate paid sick days for workers has come close to passing in Connecticut, provoking sharp attacks from employer lobbyists.
The party's influence remains most pronounced in New York, where it not only elects statewide candidates but has filled the seats of state and local legislatures with progressive, party-endorsed candidates. One of them is Gustavo Rivera, who scored a historic upset against an entrenched and corrupt incumbent to win the Democratic nomination for a Bronx State Senate seat. Rivera won with the help of volunteers like Patrick Cousins, a member of Stagehands Local 52, who decided to take three weeks off to volunteer for Rivera and Schneiderman.
"Phone-banking, handing out tons of literature, standing by the subway station every day, watching the polls today at 5 am," Cousins recounts the nonstop activity. "My kids are grown, so now it's time to give back." In the Bronx, unknown Rivera took nearly two-thirds of the vote, trouncing State Senator Pedro Espada, who helped stage a 2008 coup that briefly brought Republicans back to power in Albany. Working Families canvassers had knocked three and even four times on every Democrat's door in the district that they could. While Espada handed out school supplies to court voters, Working Families canvassers appealed to voters' hunger for values and results.
"What issues are important to you?" canvasser Mike Staab asks 92-year-old Mildred Kaminsky, a resident of the union-built Amalgamated co-ops. "Jobs," she replies, as her home health aide looks on. "I couldn't agree more," continues Staab, a recent NYU graduate. "Gustavo Rivera wants to make sure that jobs pay a fair wage."
This isn't just talk. Assuming he wins in November, Rivera will become part of a progressive Democratic coalition in the once impassably Republican State Senate. That bloc has passed formerly unimaginable measures, including a minimum-wage hike, a bill of rights for nannies and housekeepers, a moratorium on destructive natural gas drilling and a cap-and-trade fund devoted to creating well-compensated green jobs.
In these battles, the Working Families Party has proved adept at exploiting division and instability as openings to push progressive legislation, and at out-thinking and out-organizing its opponents. One winning bill created a green jobs fund that will weatherize homes statewide. A second provides for utility-bill payment for energy efficiency retrofits. Both stemmed from the work of the Center for Working Families, an independent research group that was founded by the Working Families Party. Operating in the mold of ALEC, the conservative state legislation machine, the center provided extensive supporting research and legislative development for the green bills, and continues to help shape the programs.

Great time!
What a great rally!! Bravo to Sherry, and Brian and Margaret, and everyone else that made it happen. We may have been the only 4-wheel vehicle there for the "rides," we didn't feel too out of place with all of the trailers and tow vehicles at camp
We decided to head out to Dug Bar and ended up meeting some fellow ADV'ers down at the River. We offered some cold drinks, but true to form, these ADV'ers had it covered! It was cool to see that we made some cameos in BGT595's photos, and we did have plenty of tools and an air compressor on board in case anyone needed something....no one did!
oops....I guess we should be reading the road signs.....
I did miss not having a bike to ride...
What a great road!
And if you have to get a flat....there are worse places for sure!
We actually had fun changing the flat and got it done quick enough that none of the riders caught up to us! It's all part of the adventure!
Some ADV'ers taking rest under the shade tree at Dug Bar (no snake this time).
It was fun having the horse whisperer there!!
Hamming it up at the Snake River!
Finishing the Dug Bar trip off at the Terminal Gravity Brewery didn't suck either....
We had a blast and it was fun visiting with old friends, and meeting some new ones!

HR Question of the Week
HR Question of the week
When does the Open Enrollment period end?
The annual Open Enrollment period for eligible faculty and staff to select medical, vision, dental insurance and other benefits-related options for next year will run through Monday, Nov. 8, at 6 p.m. The booklet detailing the benefits selections is available online at www.kent.edu/hr/benefits/open-enrollment.cfm. On that website you will also find many other resources and the link to the secure, online enrollment site.
As you make your health care elections, please keep in mind the following information:
- If you want to keep your current health care elections for calendar year 2011, you do not need to complete the Open Enrollment process; your benefits will carry over for 2011.
- However, if you have a Flexible Spending Account (for Health Care or Dependent Care), and want to continue the account in 2011, you must log in tothe Open Enrollment site and make this election. These accounts require you to enter a contribution amount and do not automatically carry over from year to year.
- Last week University Benefits sent employees an announcement regarding the increase in 2011 premium rates. The example used to illustrate the 2011 annual costs for a Medical Mutual of Ohio 90/70 family plan listed amounts calculated at a two-year increment instead of a one-year period. The example used should have reflected an annual cost of $873 for an employee earning $22,000, and an annual cost of $3,056 for an employee at the highest salary tier (earning $200,000 and above).
- The Benefits staff encourages all faculty and staff to review and make necessary changes to beneficiary information for any insurance plans you may have through the university. In some instances employees have not reviewed this information for several years and that information may no longer be current.
If you have Open Enrollment questions, call the Benefits Office hotline at 330-672-MyHR(6947) or send an e-mail to email@example.com.
