text: GAO Advises Easing Rollovers Between 401(k) Plans By Stephen Miller, CEBS 4/5/2013 Permissions When leaving an employer and starting a new job, 401(k) plan participants often find it easier to roll their account funds into an individual retirement account (IRA) rather than into their new employer's plan, according to a study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The challenges to 401(k) plan-to-plan transfers include the waiting period to roll into a new employer's plan, complex verification procedures to ensure savings are tax-qualified, big differences in plans' paperwork and inefficient processing practices. These hurdles often make rolling 401(k) funds into a self-directed IRA "an easier and faster choice, especially given that IRA providers often offer assistance to plan participants when they roll their savings into an IRA," according to the March 2013 report, Labor and IRS Could Improve the Rollover Process for Participants. The Department of Labor (DOL) and the Internal Revenue Service are the federal agencies that oversee 401(k) rollovers. 401(k) or IRA? When plan participants leave an employer, they often receive advice and marketing favoring IRAs from financial services firms, the GAO found. "Service providers' call center representatives encouraged rolling 401(k) plan savings into an IRA even with only minimal knowledge of a caller's financial situation," and the DOL's current requirements "do not sufficiently assist participants in understanding the financial interests that service providers may have in participants' distribution and investment decisions," the GAO states. The report recommends that the DOL and IRS take steps to make 401(k) plan-to-plan rollovers more efficient, such as reducing the waiting period to roll over into a 401(k) plan and improving the asset-verification process. In addition, it advises the DOL to ensure that plan participants receive complete and timely information about the distribution options for their 401(k) plan savings when they leave a company. "Such actions could help make staying in the 401(k) plan environment a more viable option, allowing participants to make distribution decisions based on their financial circumstances rather than on convenience," the report noted. The GAO also recommends that the DOL clairfy the Employee Benefits Security Administration's definition of fiduciary, "and, in doing so, require plan service providers, when assisting participants with distribution options, to disclose any financial interests they may have in the outcome of those decisions in a clear, consistent, and prominent manner." The Worst Option The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which helps oversee the financial services industry, advises 401(k) participants who are changing jobs to consider the following points: Putting all your retirement savings into one 401(k) plan has its advantages. For example, it will make it easier for you to track your assets' performance. But you should evaluate your new employer's plan before deciding to roll your assets over. Make sure the new plan has plenty of investment choices and includes the investment options you prefer. Also check to make sure that accompanying fees aren't too high. If you're unhappy with the options provided by your new employer's 401(k), you can always consider your other options, including a rollover into an IRA. The worst decision departing employees could make, according to FINRA, is to cash out the money in their account instead of rolling it over into either an IRA or a new 401(k) plan, where the funds can continue growing on a tax-advantaged basis and help provide a secure retirement.

In the past, surgery may have meant a lengthy hospital stay to recover. With modern medical advances, people now have several options, depending on the diagnosis and type of surgery required:
Inpatient surgery. Some of the more intensive surgeries still require you to stay overnight or longer in a hospital setting. This allows clinical staff to monitor your recovery and ensures immediate medical attention in case of complications.
Outpatient surgery. Because of advances in surgical procedures and anesthesia, many surgeries done today allow you to recover and go home on the same day. Outpatient surgery, when appropriate, has proven to reduce costs, reduce stress, speed up the recovery process, and reduce the time lost from work and family life. Outpatient surgery may also be called same-day surgery, in-and-out surgery, and ambulatory surgery. And, outpatient surgery is often done in what are called specialty surgical centers.
Ambulatory surgery. Ambulatory surgery, also called outpatient surgery, is done without admitting the patient to the hospital. The surgery may be done in the outpatient section of the hospital, in an outpatient surgical center, or in a doctor's office.
Specialty surgery centers. Certain medical specialties, such as ophthalmology, may be located in their own office settings, away from the hospital. These specialty centers are comprehensive in their care, including offering outpatient surgery. Most outpatient centers are affiliated with hospitals, where you can be admitted if necessary after surgery.

The Our Lady of Lourdes High School football team continues to roll along after a 43-7 win over Irvington at Overlook Park on Friday.
Bryce Gioia had 33 carries for 264 yards with four touchdowns. Quarterback Dean Rotger scored touchdowns on a pair of 1-yard runs, the first of which was set up by a 36-yard run by Gioia. A 23-yard pass by Rotger to Patrick Reilly set up a 26-yard touchdown by Gioia in the third quarter.
Lourdes' defense held Irvington to negative-24 yards on the ground.
"Our defense as a whole had a great game," said Lourdes coach Brian Walsh, specifically citing Chris Grevas, Jake Wiegard, Joe Rhoades, Devin Brennan and Nick Wynne. Grevas and Zach Walminski had interceptions.
Lourdes (5-0) will visit Pleasantville at 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 13.

A front loader pushes the turf into a pile Monday at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.
- Filed Under
The Kinnick Stadium turf that former Iowa running back Shonn Greene shredded on the way to the Doak Walker Award now literally is shredded.
Plows ran the length of the field stripping sod from the ground and pushing it into the north end zone Monday afternoon. The once vibrant green field doesn't look like a football field anymore.
University of Iowa officials decided to strip the field in order to lay a new drainage system. In the process, the Kinnick surface will change from natural grass to synthetic turf. ...

Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show postponed
• Analysis: Outdoor show flattened by politics
• Hunters, shooters weigh in on show postponement
• Reed Exhibitions announces delay
• Competing gun rallies planned outside Pa. Capitol
• As boycott grows, vendor calls sports show restrictions 'extremely radical'
• List of vendors, personalities boycotting Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show
Reed Exhibitions, the company that organizes the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, has postponed the event, which originally was set to be held Feb. 2-10 in Harrisburg.
Let us know what you think about the move in the comments section toward the bottom of the page.
The full text of the company's announcement, available at easternsportsshow.com, is reproduced below.
Reed Exhibitions has decided to postpone, for now, the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show given the controversy surrounding its decision to limit the sale or display of modern sporting rifles (also called ARs) at the event. The show was scheduled to take place February 2-10 in Harrisburg, PA.
"Our original decision not to include certain products in the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show this year was made in order to preserve the event's historical focus on the hunting and fishing traditions enjoyed by American families," said Chet Burchett, Reed Exhibitions President for the Americas. "In the current climate, we felt that the presence of MSRs would distract from the theme of hunting and fishing, disrupting the broader experience of our guests. This was intended simply as a product decision, of the type event organizers need to make every day.
"It has become very clear to us after speaking with our customers that the event could not be held because the atmosphere of this year's show would not be conducive to an event that is designed to provide family enjoyment. It is unfortunate that in the current emotionally charged atmosphere this celebratory event has become overshadowed by a decision that directly affected a small percentage of more than 1,000 exhibits showcasing products and services for those interested in hunting and fishing.
"ESS has long been proud to participate in the preservation and promotion of hunting and fishing traditions, and we hope that as the national debate clarifies, we will have an opportunity to consider rescheduling the event when the time is right to focus on the themes it celebrates."

Keynote Address by Vamik Volkan
(Session Organizer) Philippa Kerr, University of KwaZulu-Natal; (Chair) Delia Dumitrescu, Universite de Montreal; (Chair) Lene Aaroe, Department of Political Science, Uni
Conference: ISPP 2011

Research Area: ISPP 34th Annual Scientific Meeting
|Political Psychology and its Application to Identity Issues in Turkey
In 2011 Turkey finds itself a strong entity in the Middle East that enjoys increased influence on international affairs and economic growth, while making new efforts toward further democratization. Turkey is also a place where more than 30,000 persons died during the last decades due to terrorism and the governments' response to it. This means that millions of persons in Turkey are still struggling with complicated mourning that continues to inflame their ethnic identities. There have been many approaches to solving the so-called "Kurdish issue" in Turkey. This speech will describe a psychopolitical one. For the past three years the author had taken part in a project that brings together influential Turkish citizens of Turkish and Kurdish origin and from different political and religious backgrounds for a series of dialogues. The ideas gleaned from these dialogues—all aiming for a more peaceful environment in Turkey—have been made available to the Turkish President as well as to the public.

A bombpop or rocket pop is a quiesciently frozen confection shaped similar to a rocket ship and having a star shaped cross section. Most are stacked/layered in red, white, & blue. Except in the case of a Fudge Bomb, which is alternately fudge, and banana fudge.
I got the visual of that long colorful popsicle...
Can I request a different visual? I'll reciprocate ;-)
Hmm...second thought....that red white and blue popsicle that is supposidly a rocket but looks like a naked crayon.
Not what I meant but those -are- good...

As any body tried these yet? I just got mine in the mail. XL at 3.4oz and black plus they fit me perfectly. They seem like great pants with lower buttons on the bottom for a quick on/off. Are they bug proof? These are lighter then the BPL Thorofare pants.
Hi Ray!Yes, these are lighter than the BPL Thoroughfare pants, which weigh in at 3.9 oz. As near as I can tell they're darn near pretty much the same fabric, which means they're bug proof fer sure. For a lighter, bug proof, wind pant check out the crazy light Montbell Dynamo at 2.6 oz.

Americans for Prosperity-Michigan Calls Senate Budget Responsible, Prudent, Departure from Fed's Red Ink
LANSING, Mich.—As the Senate wrapped up work on the Fiscal Year 2014 Budget today, Americans for Prosperity-Michigan thanked lawmakers for keeping spending in check and standing with taxpayers, families and small businesses. Scott Hagerstrom, state director of AFP-Michigan, issued the following statement:
"The principles of limited government are not Right or Left. Rather, they are the foundation of what has made America great. Smaller government leaves more room for vibrant economic growth, innovation, and entrepreneurism.
"This budget signals a prudent and responsible direction for Michigan's fiscal future. Even as the federal budget hemorrhages red ink, Michigan state lawmakers deserve credit for pursuing a different path that does not mortgage our children's future.
"Lawmakers have so far rejected major tax hikes on gasoline that would negatively impact working families and small businesses. They have also stood strong against tremendous pressure to expand Washington, DC's broken health care system that borrows against our children and grandchildren's future.
"No, this budget is not perfect. However, it represents a responsible direction that puts hardworking Michigan families and businesses first. It is also an important departure from the spending antics of our federal officials."
Americans for Prosperity-Michigan is a statewide organization of more than 87,000 activists committed to strengthening our constitutional government, establishing fiscal restraint, and giving taxpayers greater control over government. We are dedicated to recruiting, training, educating and motivating grassroots activists to be effective in their own communities. Americans for Prosperity does not support or oppose candidates for public office.

There's a lot of talk about the Asia-Pacific Partnership for Clean Development and Climate, a new climate agreement between the US, Australia, China, India, Japan and South Korea, but few details as of yet. Given the secrecy with which this agreement was crafted, and the expressed reluctance of three of the six partners (Australia, India and the US) to engage in any kind of actual enforced limitations on greenhouse gases, it's easy to be cynical about what this agreement will actually do. I suspect that, once the details are known, there will be quite a bit of justifiable dismissal from sustainability analysts.
However, I'd like to suggest something different.
When the details of the APP4CDC come out, I'd like us all to start scouring it for potential pressure points. What are the elements of the agreement that could turn out to be useful tools for forcing more change, faster change, better change than the negotiators intended? How can we use it in ways that actually can get us to where we want to go? What parts of the treaty can be re-framed in ways that strengthen the bright green approach, moving us to real emissions reduction and disaster avoidance? Think of it as memetic judo, cognitive tai chi, an attempt to use the energy of the agreement in ways that the signatory governments wouldn't expect.
It may not be possible. The Asia-Pacific Partnership for Clean Development and Climate may be impossible to reframe because there's no content to it. But we shouldn't let an opportunity to turn the tables on those who would undercut real efforts towards radical reduction in greenhouse emissions pass us by.
Excellent thoughts, Jamais.
I've been uneasy for weeks hearing Bush repeatedly use the words "beyond Kyoto" and talk about technology to offset climate change. Although I felt like my instincts were affirmed when the news about this secretly brokered deal surfaced, it's isn't the kind of validation I'd like to get on a regular basis.
Looking forward to the memetic t'ai chi.
Just a quickie: the EU's already announcing that technofixes are not enough, and that it will do its utmost to push for legally binding standards.
It will be a hot winter, when the world discusses Kyoto II.
Something entirely different. It looks like there is a trend here: everything the UN creates, must be destroyed by the Anglosaxons.
:: International law and Security Council decisions? Nice, but we go beyond them because you can't do anything about it.
:: The UN's Millenium Goals? Great, but not so great as Blair's "Africa Commission" and his G8 promises, which are of course much less stringent than the already existing MGs - but hey, it's marketed as beyond.
:: The Kyoto Protocol and the UN Framework? Great, but not so great as Bush's technofix coalition. Beyond Kyoto, no doubt.
There's this huge rift growing in the world between those who prefer a status quo but who're marketing pure air, packed nicely in slogans, - and those who're serious about matters and who want a real and binding criteria to arrive at solutions to problems.
I don't want to do any tai chi here, things are too obvious. If you find the courage to go nuanced about this, good luck.
One great metaphor, already out there:
"A deal on climate change that doesn't limit pollution is the same as a peace plan that allows guns to be fired."
"Memetic judo" and other forms of non-consensual reframing are efforts to make the fight for the right path happen on our terms. One of the recurring themes of the past decade of the growing awareness of greenhouse gas-triggered climate disruption has been the effort by those who want to avoid doing anything that might cut their profits in the short term to make otherwise useful phrases and ideas theirs, twisting meanings and confusing listeners. Now it's our turn -- not to twist or confuse, but to make the terms that they promote mean what we want them to mean, so that they're telling our story whether they realize it -- or want to -- or not.
When I say "memetic judo" or "cognitive tai chi," I'm not calling for a compromise. Far from it.
I think you have to look at the pattern of the administration's past environmental initiatives. They all contain kernels that could be improved and accelerated ("more change, faster change, better change") ... but they've worked for the administration precisely by attracting discusion to a particular point.
If everybody starts talking about clean coal, for instance, our energy future becomes clean coal.
... so i say split the troops ;-). Let some press for faster whatever-they-propose, and let the other half reject it completely. At least part of this has to be to keep the frame of conversation where we want it.
What if there was anouther point of view? Just as possible just as valid and just as terrible to contemplate? Do you expect you would know it?
the most terrible possibility is that human beings suffer from what the economists call "bounded rationality" and that some things, especially "large group projects" like "global warming" and "worldchanging" are beyond us.
frankly, i think we should have been called "Homo Semi-Sapiens"
Back a good while in the 80s I talked with my meteorologist friend about climate shifts and disasterous changes...
Now we both agreed on a few simple facts..
1 Not everyone will fight against climate change a fair number will secretly fight for it. Why? Because chaos attracts money lots and lots of money and fear of death creates money unlimited.
The simple fact is its too profitable too eagerly awaited to be avoided EVEN if we could have...
2 We cant stop it we couldnt stop it we wont stop it. I pointed out and he agreed reluctantly that by the time tech existed to carry us past coal and gas and oil we would be too late anyway to matter. The very simple fact is climate isnt a switch you flip and there is no going back in our lifetime or even the lifetime of anyone who will even remotely know who we were or care.
3 Look to the chinese they are old enough to have gone through it and remember it from past climate changes. Look at how they react and know they do what they do based on 1000s of years of built up knowhow... and guess what it looks like they are freaking out and building up like there is no tommarow.. rather ...unsettling when you think about it fully.
I dont trust treaties I dont trust international accords I dont trust the un I do trust greed and fear. Do any of you realy for a minute truely expect the hero to save the day? Do any of you realy expect anything other then a dark and long period at the end of an era that frankly prolly is best ended anyway. Should we be daydreaming about a hero or should we be preping for what happens after this fairytale ends.
i've got to admit that "endless optimism" sometimes gets me down, but the flip side is that without effort we humans probably would not even attain the "semi-successful" outcomes we are so proud of.

Avina Awards: For journalism committed to sustainable development in Latin America.
Avina AWARDS consist of financial and technical support for original journalistic research proposals on sustainable development in Latin American countries.
The grants aim at cooperating with mass media and professional journalists to enrich the public agenda by searching for sustainable development models in Latin America.
The reports sponsored by Avina AWARDS have reached millions of people through publications in printed and digital newspapers, broadcasts of audio-visual material, and postings on internet portals.
The first two editions of Avina AWARDS for Journalistic Research were supported by institutions such as the Fundación Nuevo Periodismo Iberoamericano (FNPI), the Association of European Journalists (AEJ), the Argentine Journalist Forum (Foro de Periodismo Argentino – Fopea), the Inter-American Press Association (IAPA), the Brazilian Association for Journalistic Research (Associaçao Brasileira de Jornalismo Investigativo – Abraji), the Press and Society Institute (Instituto Prensa y Sociedad – Ipys), the News Agency for Children's Rights (Agência de Notícias dos Direitos da Infância -ANDI), Communication Initiative Latin America (CILA), the Alliance of Communicators for Sustainable Development (ComPlus), Reporters d´Espoirs and the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas.
Proposals submitted are assessed by an international jury appointed by Avina, composed of reputed members from the world of journalism and/or specific thematic areas.
Since the establishment of the Avina AWARDS program in 2006, 110 journalists have received the award. Their reports provide a different coverage of the social situation in Latin America, frequently overlooked or only briefly addressed by mass media.
The research sponsored by Avina focuses on the leaders of community initiatives who are guided by solidarity and cooperation. These stories give visibility to hitherto "invisible" sectors of society. Thus, these reports often narrate stories of women committed to social change.
Latin American media that have published these reports include newspapers La Nación and Clarín (Argentina), El Nacional (Venezuela), El Espectador (Colombia), El Tiempo, (Ecuador), Diario de São Paulo (Brazil), El Periódico (Guatemala) and Público-Milenio (Mexico), among many others.
Some of these award-winning reports have also been published in magazines such as Expansión and Gatopardo (Mexico), and broadcast by radios such as Radio CBN (Brazil) and Radio Nacional de Colombia (RCN). International media include El País, Le Monde Diplomatique, in its Southern Cone edition, BBC World Service, CNN in Spanish, Radio France International and Radio Netherlands.
The jury responsible for selecting the winning proposals has included journalists and experts in communications with a long and acknowledged professional track record in media and other Latin American organizations.
Three of the 60 journalistic proposals benefitting from the second edition of the Avina AWARDS (2008-2009), were also recognized with prestigious international awards:
"The Route of Smoke," a multi-media report published by Andreia Franzeres and Cristiane Prizibisczki in O Eco, (Brazil), won the Earth Journalism Award in the category of Forest Themes.
"The Slow Death of the Sea Forest," another multi-media production, by Leonardo Cavalcanti was published in Correio Braziliense, winning the Imprensa Embratel 2009 Prize in the Socio-Environmental Responsibility category, and the CNT Journalism Award in the Environment category.
"Oxygen: the New Gourmet Product," research carried out by Juan Manuel Fernández for the Costa-Rican journal Mercados y Tendencias, received the AmCham Award for best article in the Social Responsibility category.
With the aim of enabling winning journalists to exchange information and collaborate to provide a common regional approach to their reports, the Avina AWARDS program held two meetings at the Latin American level.
The First Latin American meeting of the Avina research awards program was held in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2006. During the event, the Brazilian lawyer and Avina leader-ally, Oscar Vilhena, and Avina's advisors, Bernardo Toro and Gabriel Griffa, gave a speech on the challenges of the rule of law, integration and sustainable development in Latin America.
The second meeting of Journalistic Research for Sustainable Development was held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, in 2008. As part of the seminar, the Colombian journalist Javier Darío Restrepo gave a talk on "Journalistic Ethics and Sustainable Development," followed by a debate chaired by Jaime Abello Banfi, Director of the Ibero-American New Journalism Foundation (Fundación Nuevo Periodismo Iberoamericano).

1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
1. Define the role and mechanisms of adipocyte death in obesity-associated
inflammation and metabolic disorders using genetic and nutritional models of
adipocyte growth and death.
2. Determine the role of the macrophage in modulating adipocyte death and associated adipose tissue inflammation using genetically altered animal models.
3. Determine the mechanisms by which alterations in Lipid Droplet (LD) proteins
modulate lipolysis and risk of developing metabolic disorders.
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
The role of adipocyte death in obesity will be investigated using a combination of transgenic and knockout mouse models and bone-marrow transplantation in mice fed different diets to understand the influence of obesity. In vivo and in vitro studies will investigate glucose and insulin homeostasis complemented by histological, immunohistological, electron microscopic, gene expression, FACS analysis, adipocyte lipolysis and Akt signaling studies. For studies investigating lipid droplet proteins, we will use both adenovirus expression vectors and possibly transgenic animals to determine how alterations in expression and intracellular signaling regulate protein expression, metabolic pathways, and lipolysis in cultured cells and animals. Depending upon which tissue is studied, we will examine lipolysis and protein expression, alterations in cytokine, lipid accumulation, signal transduction pathways, and oxidative gene expression.
3.Progress Report
Factors Identified in Cells that Protect Against Diet-induced Obesity. Since high caloric diets promote obesity in animals and humans ARS-funded researchers at JMUSDA-HNRCA at Tufts University, Boston, MA, identified factors or proteins in cells that will protect against diet-induced obesity. We challenged two different lines of mice with a high caloric diet, one with a lower and the other with a higher expression of the protein, perilipin, in fat cells. They found that mice with increased expression of the protein perilipin in their fat cells (adipocytes) were protected against the development of obesity as compared to mice with reduced expression of perilipin. They demonstrated that increased levels of perilipin in fat cells resulted in increased rates of fat burning and increased levels of proteins that promote burning of fat. These studies indicate that researchers should continue efforts at identifying nutrients and foods that increase perilipin protein expression in fat cells to help ameliorate the epidemic of obesity.

Reviews for Layered Christmas Gelatin
Sort By :
"Easy to make, Pretty, and Delicious."
"In the early 60's my mom made a 3 layer Christmas jello with lime jello on the bottom, cherry jello on the top. The middle layer had cream cheese, whipped cream, lemon jello, and crushed pineapple. Does anyone have this recipe?"
"Everyone love this at Christmas.."
"To the person who said the middle layer was less than bland... you didn't make it right! This is delicious... good any time of year!! Before my mom passed away, this was a part of every Christmas and Thanksgiving... the ONLY difference was that she used bananas in the red layer, not cranberries. DELICIOUS!!!!! Nice and cool in the summer!!"
"How often do you make a jello salad that is beautiful and delicious? Try this; you'll love it."

Environmental Initiatives Associated With Water Conservation
Conserving water is something that can be done every day. There are many ways to conserve water that don't require a big investment of time or money and each member of the family can participate. Some examples: water outside plants with leftover water from cooked vegetables once it has cooled. Catch rain water in clean empty containers for washing cars, water inside plants and even to clean floors or outdoor patio furniture. When it is raining set inside plants outside to water for free.
Environmentally conserving water at every opportunity means less waste, Read the rest of this entry »
Reasons Why Water Conservation is Important
Without water, all life would of course cease to exist. Anyone, that stops and thinks about it, realizes this fact. People still waste water despite the absolute facts. Part of the problem is the perception of a never-ending supply of water. People living in industrial civilizations take access to water for granted. Many countries and their people do not have the same access, and many do not have access at all.
Water conservation is more than saving money on the water bill although, that is a motivating factor to get people to conserve. People of Read the rest of this entry »
How Does Water Conservation Help the Environment?
Water is one of our most precious resources. Without water, life as we now know it will cease to exist. We need water to keep our bodies hydrated, and without proper hydration, the human race will die. This is why water conservation is one of the most important issues facing the environment today, but there are a few things you can do to help conserve our valuable resourse.

Turn Off the Sink While Brushing Your Teeth
Many people may thing that it sounds silly, but turning off the sink while you're brushing your teeth is a great way to save water, and money. You are going to be helping your pockets, and the environment at the same time. While you spend a couple minutes brushing your teeth, gallons of clean water are just going right back down the drain. This is a waste of natural resources, and you are costing yourself money. Instead you want to use the minimum amount Read the rest of this entry »

Richland >> Members of Borough Council on Tuesday night agreed to delay a court hearing for a property owner whom the borough claims is in violation of the International Property Maintenance Code.
Bruce G. Steiner, who owns a property at 220 N. Race St., was sent a notice of violation of property maintenance codes and a cease and desist order in July by Randy Maurer, property maintenance code official for the borough. The notice informed Steiner his leaning, deteriorated chimney and his deteriorated porch ceiling and flooring violated the code adopted by the borough on May 7.
Steiner did not make take any noticeable action to correct the violations, so council asked solicitor Thomas Harlan to take the matter before the Court of Common Pleas.
A court hearing was scheduled for Feb. 18, but Steiner's niece, former council member Michelle Voydik, presented council with two signed contracts at Tuesday's meeting that Steiner entered to have the work done on his property and asked council to delay the court hearing.
Council met in an executive session to discuss the litigation and then announced afterward that Steiner would be given until May 17 to correct all violations.
In a related matter council hired Jeffrey Arnold to enforce the property maintenance code and other ordinances as needed. Maurer will continue to handle major code matters. Arnold has 24 years of law-enforcement experience.
In other business, council :
• Discussed a course of action to take against residents who fail to move their vehicles off snow emergency routes after a snow emergency is declared.
• Approved a contract with Choice Communications of Myerstown for the installation of security cameras in the borough building.
• Agreed to cancel an uncompleted contract for the creation of a borough website and discussed the possibility of the work being done by an interested Elco High School senior.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- The "Honey Badger" won't be playing for LSU this season and the Tigers do indeed care.
Still, they remain confident they will overcome the recent dismissal of All-America cornerback Tyrann Mathieu,
Coach Les Miles says there's a limitation to the loses LSU can sustain, but that the program has a strong foundation and depth, allowing reserves to emerge as top players in their own right when starters are lost.
The most important change for the Tigers this season might be the emergence of new starting quarterback Zach Mettenberger.
Coaches say he'll complement a potent running game with an exceptional ability to throw downfield.
The Tigers also have many stars returning on defense, including defensive ends Sam Montgomery and Barkevious Mingo.
LSU opens Sept. 1 at home against North Texas.

Maverick Men: #1 Amateur Couple on XTube
I. Maverick Men: Online vs. Offline
After falling in love at a rooftop BBQ, Cole and Hunter began to document their sexcapades. The couple's camera eventually made its way out of their bedsheets and onto the streets, capturing all their sexual mischief at beaches and bars, hidden stairways and bathroom stalls. Making their sex life available to anyone with an Internet connection, the Maverick Men attracted a loyal army of followers addicted to their home made reality show, receiving hundreds of requests from curious men eager to guest star in an episode of their own. Maverick Men's new model of porn production fueled by fan requests and the couple's unending desire to keep their fans happy, allowed them to successfully turn messing around into a full time job. An ebook memoir on Amazon's shelves and a collaboration with Internet meme Chris Crocker only added to their place on top as the #1 Couple on XTube and the unofficial masters of the #pornselfie. A 100 million views later, Cole and Hunter discuss how love and sex pay their bills, they fight video piracy to keep the business afloat, and reveal that keeping it real is the secret to their success. No studios or paid actors, the Maverick Men bring new meaning to "working-from-home".
How did your Maverick Men days begin? Why did you decide to start sharing your sex life online?
Hunter: We started posting videos and pictures on XTube about five years ago. Cole always has his camera on him, it was the same back then. Inevitably, his camera started making it into bed and sex with us. I was fascinated by the responses we were getting. I'm an introverted person, and putting myself on stage for that type of feedback always seemed terrifying and impossible until XTube.
Maverick Men transitioned from an amateur video channel to a porn site with a "legal age model notice" and everything. What marked the shift from one to the other?
Cole: We went from XTube to MaverickMen.com when ManHunt approached us and made us an offer we couldn't refuse: total creative control, final say in the site design, and damn good money. We love MaverickMen.com, it's our baby now.
Hunter: After a while on XTube, we really wanted a site of our own. Since day one, everything we do regarding porn is fully 2257 compliant.

The buildup process is back on track. I'll be sending word to Washington in the coming days of my support for the military buildup. I was in support of the buildup when I was a senator, and I have continued to support the buildup as governor.
I believe that this buildup, especially in its current version, can be good for the island. That doesn't mean we don't have to remain vigilant or involved in our review of the military's plan, nor that we shouldn't ensure the military addresses the potential socioeconomic impacts the buildup will have on our island, our people and our way of life.
As we work ...

The Transfer of Power — Giving Permission to Lead
I happen to be heavily involved in a book about followership as it pertains to leadership and one of the principles we've been discussing lately is that those in the followership role have an obligation to step forward and challenge the leader when necessary. This line of thinking spurred an exceptional vision call that I had with our team last Friday that centered around them challenging me more. Often times I have felt like my team is reluctant to challenge me because I am the boss, because I sign the checks. And while I would love to say that I have all the answers, I simply don't. I'm really making this up as I go. Aren't we all???
The analogy I used to help my team to better understand my position was another film analogy. Something I learned as a filmmaker is that if a director is dictatorial in nature, he creates a product that is only as good as himself. But if a director works to serve and nurture the department heads around him, they will take care of his film and create a product that is truly exceptional and complex; and ultimately far more incredible than anything the director could have accomplished on his own.
When I challenged my team to come forward and tell me what I was doing to get in their way, we found that a common issue among a few of them was micromanagement–feeling like I was over their shoulder. Simply having the conversation allowed me to invite them to challenge me in the moment the next time I was behaving in such ways with each of them. Everyone feels things like this differently and this will give them an opportunity to help me to help each of them specifically.
Ultimately what I needed to do was give them permission to step into that leadership role and ask for what they need to do their jobs better and enjoy their time more. They needed an invitation. Some might say that they should have taken the initiative themselves, and I certainly would have respected it if they had; however, such issues are complex for employees and it takes time to build a certain level of trust and comfortability. Some of my staff have been with me for three years now and they understand that this company is like my child, and they respect that; so it is not that they feared for their jobs as much as the dialogue that they were having in their heads was that I had the right to behave in such a way. It took me inviting the criticism to help them to understand their role in the system. I want this company to be a machine that is created by all of these talented people pushing for what they feel is most important. That only happens when there is an environment where pushing back is acceptable, appreciated, and rewarded. Consider your environment and whether or not you are leading your company to be as good as you alone can be, or as great as it can be with the exponential benefit of the greatest assets of each and every member of your staff.

Here's a couple of thoughts to consider in your vast spare time. First, "A Failur of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix," by Edwin Friedman. It's a great read on how leadership functions from a family systems perspective. There are lots of gems to mine in this book, so enjoy it as you read it.
The second thought, admirably, is that you have had staff with you for three years. I've worked with folks for 30 years and we still have trust issues and turf issues. The challenge of leadership for those of us privileged to be the "head" is that we don't lead in a vacuum as if we were not connected intimately with other members of the body. When my bowels move (crude but effective analogy), I, too, have to get up and move. Nothing wrong with the "head" listening to the bowels. Let your bowels get in an uproar and you'll feel miserable (hence the analogy). Once the bowels calm down and they get what they need, things work regular as clock work. Same thing with all the other organs and you've got folks who don't always "feel" connected and have to get your attention until you do something. A pain in the butt is only a pain so long as you allow it.
Point Three of two, Dave M, author of "All I Need to Know I Learned from Watching Star Trek" has a great way to address your concern about followership. "The most important time to help someone is when they need. Always answer a distress call." Live Long and Prosper.

SurveyMonkey Avoids IPO With Fundraising From Google, Tiger Global
Subscriber Content Read Preview
Subscriber Content Read Preview
SurveyMonkey has answered its own survey: No IPO yet.
The online survey service has raised $800 million in cash and debt from investors that include Google and Tiger Global Management, in a late-stage fundraising that values it at $1.35 billion.
In the massive fundraising, SurveyMonkey CEO Dave Goldberg notes he is avoiding "the costs and distractions of an IPO and the demands of operating as a public company."
Given Goldberg is married to Facebook CFO Sheryl Sandberg, it might not be too surprising he's a bit tepid on going public. But Goldberg has said he wasn't looking for an IPO and a fundraising of this size is likely to have taken quite a long time to put together. He told Fortune today that his experiences at Yahoo also made him wary of public markets.
In the offering, SurveyMonkey is selling about $444 million in equity to new and existing holders, including Goldberg himself. Google and Tiger Global, a venture capital giant, are among the new investors. Lee Fixel, a partner at Tiger Global, is joining the board and Google's David Lawee is to be a board "observer."
Last week Mark Zuckerberg addressed Facebook's IPO debacle. This week it was Sheryl Sandberg's turn.
Facebook's chief operating officer addressed the company's recent IPO during a public forum at the IAB MIXX advertising industry conference in New York on Tuesday.
Sandberg told a packed auditorium that it "didn't go as we expected," and that people at the company were "obviously surprised and disappointed."
But she made clear the slide in Facebook's shares — presently off 41% from its debut price — has not impacted Facebook's operations.
"While certainly people were disappointed, Silicon Valley companies, we cycle quickly. … We iterate so quickly," Sandberg said. She added it "hasn't affected our operations or the innovation," noting the launch of a new mobile app and increased advertiser engagement since the IPO.
When pressed for more on the IPO by moderator Charlie Rose, she displayed a bit of piquancy: "There are so many people who are willing to talk about this, I'm going to leave it to them."

During each administration, in addition to activities and projects accomplished at the state and
national level, Maryland Daughters undertake special projects to further the objectives of history,
education, and patriotism.
There are several new ideas and committees for this administration. We want to reduce waste and Green up our State Administration.
The first effort is the establishment of the Maryland Archival and Technology Committee.
This committee will establish policies and procedures for digitizing our archives and how the state
will comply with adequate and sound principles
of this digitization. This is a major effort on our part and the new committee is up for the challenge.
The second effort is to encourage members to receive The Spinning Wheel via email. If we can begin this effort we will save
thousands of dollars each year. These savings can then be used to increase scholarships.
And, speaking of scholarships, what better way to support the Maryland DAR Scholarship commitment than to establish a Maryland Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.) Scholarship Fund!
We will be establishing a corpus to give an annual scholarship to our Maryland C.A.R. Several senior members of C.A.R. have agreed to work with
Maryland State Society Daughters of the American Revolution members on this project. We can accomplish this goal through your cooperation with our greening efforts.
So stay tuned to see how our efforts prevail.
