Another ad, more sniping.
Democratic U.S. House hopeful Brendan Mullen launched an attack on Republican hopeful Jackie Walorski in a new TV ad, focusing in part on her 2006 vote as state lawmaker in favor of leasing Indiana Toll Road operations.
"Washington, filled with bickering politicians out for themselves, and it's the same in Indianapolis, like Jackie Walorski," the narrator gravely intones. The ad, which hit the airwaves Wednesday, goes on to note Walorski's 2006 vote, adding that she "received thousands from those benefitting from the sweetheart deal."
The Walorski campaign responded, saying in a press release that the ad "proves (Mullen's) willingness to endorse dirty politics and name calling."
The ad "is a pathetic attempt to distort Jackie's bipartisan voting record, but Hoosiers know that D.C. insider Brendan Mullen does not share their values," Walorski campaign manager Brendon DelToro said in the response. "It's disappointing to see Mullen continually name call and wrongfully attack Jackie's integrity."
The National Republican Congressional Committee chimed in, criticizing an earlier Mullen ad that shows him sitting with his family on the porch of a South Bend home, seemingly his own, that actually belongs to the family of some friends. It underscores what Mullen's critics paint as his tenuous roots to the area.
It appears that Mullen, originally from South Bend but a resident of Washington D.C. from 2006 to 2011, "is trying really, really hard to make it seem like he is a Hoosier and even borrowed a house for his first campaign TV ad," an NRCC statement sent Wednesday charges. "Not kidding on this one!"
The Mullen campaign responded Thursday, saying that logistics partially dictated selection of the home in question for a snippet of video that shows the Democrat, his wife and the couple's oldest daughter and dog. Since the rest of the ad in question was filmed in South Bend, it was cheaper to film at that house than go to Mullen's home in Granger.
"That is the neighborhood where Brendan grew up," said Andy Reynolds, the Democrat's campaign manager. Growing up, Mullen lived just a block-and-a-half away from the home in the ad and he's long-time friends with the family that lives there.
In the controversial 2006 toll road vote — still decried by some — operation of the roadway was taken over by a Spanish-Australian consortium. The "thousands" of dollars the ad says Walorski subsequently received is a reference to around $8,400 in apparent campaign donations from groups associated with construction companies, potential beneficiaries of the toll road decision.
The Walorski response notes that because of the 2006 decision, the state received $3.85 billion from the toll road concessionaire, enough "to fund an entire generation of road construction projects."
In other campaign business, Mullen, who operates a consulting firm, held a press conference on Thursday in South Bend to announce the support of a coalition of businessmen.
"I've balanced budgets, I've made payroll and I've provided health care," Mullen said in a statement. "Send me to Washington and I'll bring my business experience and Hoosier values with me, and together, we'll move our community, our state and our country forward."

Keeping front-line employees motivated and engaged is critical to retain customers and encourage repeat business, particularly in today's competitive landscape, but motivation is a highly individual process. Employees must find the rewards offered in an employee recognition program personally meaningful or their behavior won't change, and employee engagement won't improve.
For many companies, providing exceptional customer service is at the core of the business plan. When a one-size-fits-all approach is used to inspire employees, they are taking a risk on achieving true engagement because meaningful and motivating experiences are connected to performance. If the risk fails, business outcomes can suffer.
Further, popular cash-only recognition programs often fall short in the engagement stakes. When companies use cash as the reward for incentive and recognition initiatives, employee programs can become confused with regular compensation, which creates a less effective and less flexible reward system.
A 2010 study conducted by Maritz polled 1,000 full-time employees who received some type of reward or recognition in a program. Overall, the survey found employees were less likely to share their success with others — by talking about their rewards, for instance — if they earned cash. Further, two of every five survey participants said they used cash rewards to pay bills or for other necessities such as gas and groceries.
Instead of providing a memorable, rewarding experience for a high-performing employee, cash can become an add-on to an existing salary. By restructuring an internal recognition program to a noncash reward system, companies can empower employees and motivate them to perform more effectively.
Caesars Entertainment Corp., one of the world's largest gaming companies, embraced this approach. For nearly a decade, its employee recognition program had focused on a cash-based reward system. Over time, employees began to see the cash-only program as more of an entitlement and less of a reward. The connection to employee performance — and ultimately customer service — was fading.
To keep front-line employees engaged and motivated to provide excellent customer service to casino and hotel guests, Caesars redesigned its recognition system and wrapped corporate goals, property goals and employee desires into one unified rewards program.
Caesars' revamped employee recognition program gives managers the ability to recognize desired behaviors that support excellent customer service at every touch point. In the months following the April 2009 program kickoff, the company's customer service rankings improved 4.7 percent and continue to trend upward.
Now, while Caesars' 70,000 employees work to improve the customer experience, they earn credits in a variety of ways. Instead of using cash incentives to pay a credit card bill or buy groceries, employees are using program points to purchase items with more significance.
Caesars' vision was to create a new way to connect achievement at work with each individual's passions and life pursuits. The approach, which was folded into the company's employee recognition program, has been successful because it hits on four biological drives that influence behavior — the drive to acquire stuff and status, the drive to bond, the drive to create and the drive to defend. This four-drive model, developed by Paul Lawrence and Nitin Nohria of the Harvard Business School, essentially taps into things that make people tick.
By leveraging this knowledge of what motivates individuals to perform, organizations can optimize the effectiveness of their employee recognition programs. Better yet, they can make an impact on both people and profits.

As the Seattle-based company stated in its press release, the new policy is part of the company's effort to "provide a more compelling online experience." Indeed, Nordstrom has made a number of moves in 2011 to increase its online retail stature. In February, the company acquired the flash-sale website HauteLook for $180 million in stock. In June, it launched a new version of Nordstrom.com for smartphones, and introduced a shopping function that allows customers to see whether items are in stock at nearby stores.
Nordstrom's second quarter earnings report suggests that online retail is a good direction for the company: Net earnings were $175 million, up 20% from the same quarter last year.
L.L. Bean, Zappos, Shopbop, and ASOS are among the few big-name retailers that have offered unconditional free shipping. As of now, no other department store chain offers the service. Macy's charges $8 for orders under $99. J.C. Penney's (JCP) and Lord & Taylor charge on a scale based on the purchase amount. Saks and others offer free shipping deals during certain times of the year.
Perhaps that will change now that Nordstrom has made the leap. On Aug. 26, Neiman Marcus issued a promotion code allowing free shipping on all orders. While originally the offer was set to expire on Monday, the day of Nordstrom's free shipping announcement, Neiman Marcus has extended it until Labor day.

Lisa Marie Presley is looking slim and trim these days, but her reasons for losing weight go well beyond wanting to feel confident while posing on the red carpet.
The daughter of late legend Elvis Presley, who is the mother of four, recently told People, "I'm at the weight I was at when I was a teenager. I love the way clothes fit right now."
"Eating clean and organic is best," the 46 year old, pictured here with husband Michael Lockwood in October 2013, went on to say. "I eat half of what I am given, especially when I have carbs or grains."
Lisa Marie Presley, who credits regular walks along with weight lifting for helping her lose weight, decided to take action after looking at her family's health history, which includes her famous father's death in 1977 at the age of 42.
"Knowing my family history – my father's side is totally not healthy and they have shorter life spans, while my mom's side is super fit with long life spans – I didn't know where I would land," the woman who gave birth to twins Harper and Finley in 2008 explained. "So I said, 'Okay. I'm going to play it safe and try to be as healthy as I can be.'"
Isn't that what we all should be doing?
I'll be honest, at 32 I'm petrified of having a heart attack. As I've shared before, my father had quadruple bypass surgery in his 40s, and fearing his death all throughout my high school and college years made a lasting impression on me. I seem to have inherited nearly all of his traits (aside from height), as we're both incredibly stubborn, hard-working, olive-skinned with hazel eyes, and prone to high cholesterol.
In the last few years I've gone from incredibly unfit to completing half marathons and regularly exercising. The truth of the matter is though, I'm still overweight and the fear I'll follow in his footsteps hasn't left me.
Beyond that issue, there's also diabetes and alcoholism in my family's history. As if that isn't enough, my poor kids also have their father's side of the family to deal with, meaning more alcoholism, depression and a smattering of mental health issues. Sometimes I feel like it's so much — how will they ever turn out all right?
I imagine, however, we're far from alone in feeling like the inheritance deck of cards is stacked against us.
What health concerns have you inherited from your family?

Wiz Khalifa tweets jail selfie following marijuana arrest
According to TMZ, the rapper known as Wiz Khalifa -- who has a well-documented penchant for toking marijuana -- was arrested early Sunday morning at a Texas airport after a "green leafy substance" was found during a security check.
But it looked like Wiz, who was born Cameron Jibril Thomaz, wasn't too stressed about the situation as he tweeted a pic of himself in jail with the caption "Jail selfie."
Talk about making lemonade out of lemons.
He also tweeted a picture of the barred jail door saying "Free Trap Wiz." That cry was quickly picked up by fans on social media who turned it into a hashtag, naturally.
MTV reported that he was released after a few hours and charged with being in possession of 0.5 grams of marijuana. He has been cited for simple possession of marijuana in the past, including in 2012 before one of his concerts in North Carolina.
The rapper's new project is titled "28 Grams" and is expected to be released soon.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the role and impact of forensic science evidence on the criminal justice process. Specifically, for this project, the National Institute of Justice established four goals and objectives:
The study utilized a prospective analysis of official record data that followed criminal cases in five jurisdictions (Los Angeles County, California; Indianapolis, Indiana; Evansville, Indiana; Fort Wayne, Indiana; and South Bend, Indiana) from the time of police incident report to final criminal disposition. Sites were selected to represent city, county and state crime laboratory services. The data were based on a random sample of the population of reported crime incidents between 2003 and 2006, stratified by crime type (aggravated assault, burglary, homicide, rape, and robbery) and jurisdiction. A total of 4,205 cases were sampled including 859 aggravated assaults, 1,263 burglaries, 400 homicides, 602 rapes and 1,081 robberies. Descriptive and impact data were collected from three sources: police incident and investigation reports, crime lab reports, and prosecutor case files. An unique case identifier linked police incident and crime lab reports and, for most crime incidents, connected the case with the prosecutors' database. For cases that could not be linked through the unique identifier number, suspects name, race/ethnicity, and birth date were used to connect the case with prosecutor data.
Various forensic variables were used for both descriptive and outcome analyses. Data were collected on various crime scene evidence types (biological, latent prints, pattern evidence, firearms/weapons, natural synthetic materials, generic objects, electronic/printed data, trace, drugs, and other) and substrates. Furthermore, the study explored the effect of forensic evidence on five different case outcomes, including:
A total of 4,205 cases from five jurisdictions (Los Angeles County, California; Indianapolis, Indiana; Evansville, Indiana; Fort Wayne, Indiana; and South Bend, Indiana) were sampled including 859 aggravated assaults, 1,263 burglaries, 400 homicides, 602 rapes, and 1,081 robberies. The data were based on a random sample of the population of reported crime incidents for the year 2003, stratified by crime type and jurisdiction. Crime incidents for the year 2003 were used so that cases would have complete data, including final dispositions. Due to the relatively low numbers of homicides and rapes committed annually, as well as the greater likelihood of forensic evidence for these two crimes, reported incidents for homicide and rape were over-sampled for Los Angeles and Indianapolis.
Similarly, due to the lower number of crime incidents in the three smaller Indiana sites (Evansville, Fort Wayne; and South Bend) as well as changes in data management systems in Evansville, additional years were included in the sample selection process for these sites. Specifically, in Evansville, because of a change in data management systems, effective mid-September 2003, and due to the relatively low numbers of homicides and rapes committed annually, all homicides occurring from mid-September 2003 through December 2006 and all rapes occurring from mid-September 2003 through December 2005 were reviewed to achieve the desired sample size. Likewise, due to the change in data management systems, aggravated assault, burglary and robbery cases in Evansville were sampled from incidents occurring after September 2003 and during all of 2004. In Fort Wayne and South Bend, due to the relatively low numbers of homicides committed annually, all homicides occurring during 2003 and 2004 were reviewed to achieve the desired sample size.

Safer for your car and the environment, a new anti-freeze product may be a driver's dream.
The Honda car company has created a new type two blue coolant that contains less abrasive chemicals, causing less wear and tear on your car's engine. It also has a biodegradable base that is safer for the environment.
Although the product seems better for drivers, auto-experts say the main ingredient ethylene glycol is still being used and that's the main cause of deaths every year from anti-freeze ingestion.

The Museum of Children's Art in Oakland was recently slated to host an exhibit of art by Palestinian children living in Gaza. But after months of planning, the museum canceled the exhibit amidst concerns about the violent nature of the images, many depicting graphic scenes of war. What constitutes censorship, and what is and isn't appropriate to show in a children's museum?
Host: Michael Krasny
- Barbara Lubin, founder and executive director of the Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA), a nonprofit organization working for the rights and the wellbeing of children in the Middle East and sponsor of the Palestinian children's art exhibit
- Rabbi Douglas Kahn, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council
- Randolph Belle, board member of The Museum of Children's Art in Oakland

Sam Davis, president/CEO of Island Harbor Construction in Cape Coral, FL,one of NFPA's Faces of Fire joined the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition at the 2013 International Builders Show in Las Vegas this week.
Sam offers a free fire sprinkler system in all new homes he builds, feeling strongly that customers can spend a lot of money on things like appliances, granite countertops and the like, but those things do nothing to protect a family from fire. In a video he did recently he says, ""I'm waiting for the day, although I hope it never ever happens, that we get a call that one of our systems activates, and if it does, that it saved someone's life. A home fire sprinkler system is well worth the investment."
Sam was on hand to talk directly to attendees at this year's show. Thousands of builders and others in the building industry will pass through the Home Fire Sprinkler Coaliton's booth this week and have a chance to learn more about home fire sprinklers. Attendees learn by talking to folks but one of the highlights is learning through a fun interactive Built for Life game where participants get a chance to win prizes after answering questions about home fires and the impact of sprinklers correctly.
For tools and resources on the value of home fire sprinklers and to learn more about the Faces of Fire visit www.firesprinklerinitiative.org.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina has optimism from a strong finish and motivation from watching a rival's surprise trip to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
And that has the Tar Heels talking about making their own run in the wide-open Coastal Division.
The Tar Heels (7-6, 4-4 ACC) say they have the players to keep coach Larry Fedora's no-huddle offense humming, the experience to make an up-and-down defense show some consistency and a game-changing special teams performer in punt returner Ryan Switzer.
Last year, freshmen and sophomores scored 46 of UNC's 55 touchdowns as the Tar Heels regrouped from a 1-5 start to win a bowl game.
Linebacker Jeff Schoettmer says the players feel the division title is within reach and they want something to show for their work.

I've had an injury of the left shoulder for months which got worse from me training on it.
Went to see a doctor about 2 weeks ago, said the injury wasn't too severe and gave me some sort of injection, possibly cortisone but I didn't ask.
I did a second sesh a week later and got another injection. The doctor said that I just have to keep icing it for a few days and it should get better.
So now the shoulder is alot better, but still not 100%. Since my muscles there have been wasting away for 7 months I suppose that I need some form of rehab to bring it back to health.
Currently, my left shoulder feels good with pain only coming when I reach fully overhead. I also have slightly less mobility in it than my right shoulder.
Do I need to rehab this shoulder? What light excercises could I do to get it back into shape? I guess the best thing to do to work the shoulder would be HEAVY overhead press(I'm joking)
Edit: I don't have any serious equipment to work with, just some light dumbells and some metallic thing which is meant to replicate a band(albeit with way more resistance).

Types of targeted therapies used to treat cancer
Side effects of targeted cancer therapy drugs
What causes side effects?
Although targeted therapy drugs don't affect the body the same way that standard chemo drugs do, they can still cause side effects. There are many different types of targeted drugs, and the side effects from these drugs depend largely on what each drug targets. Some drugs target substances that are more common on cancer cells, but are also found on healthy cells. These drugs can affect healthy cells, too, causing side effects.
Some types of targeted drugs seem to cause more side effects than others. For example, when drugs attack more than one target, side effects are more likely. Drugs that act as angiogenesis inhibitors affect new blood vessel growth all over the body, not just near the cancer, which can lead to side effects. Some drugs that boost the immune system can sometimes cause it to attack other parts of the body, which can also lead to side effects.
What should I know about side effects?
- Not every person gets every side effect, and some people get few, if any.
- The severity of side effects can vary greatly from drug to drug and from person to person. Be sure to talk to your doctor and nurse about which side effects are most likely with your treatment, how long they might last, how bad they might be, and when you should call the doctor's office about them.Your doctor may give you medicines to prevent some side effects before they happen or to treat certain side effects once they occur.
- Rare and unusual side effects can happen with some of these drugs, and some can be serious. All changes and side effects should be reported to your doctor.
- Although side effects can be unpleasant, the less serious ones must be measured against the need to fight the cancer.
How long do side effects last?
Most side effects go away over time after treatment ends and the healthy cells recover. The time it takes to get over some side effects and regain energy varies from person to person. It depends on many factors, including your overall health and the drugs you were given.
Because many targeted drugs are still quite new, it's hard to say how long you can expect side effects to last. We do know that some of the side effects from standard chemo drugs can last a lifetime, such as when the drug causes long-term damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys, or reproductive organs. In many cases we still don't know if targeted therapy drugs cause these kinds of long-term changes.
Patients often become discouraged about how long their treatment lasts or the side effects they have. If you feel this way, talk to your doctor. You may be able to change your medicine or treatment schedule. Your doctor or nurse may be able to suggest ways to reduce problems or discomfort.
What are some of the more common and serious side effects of targeted drugs?
Before cancer treatment starts, most people worry about whether they will have side effects and, if so, what they will be like. Here's a review of some of the more common and serious side effects caused by targeted therapy drugs. This is not a complete list, as each targeted drug can have different side effects.
Again, it's important to know that not all targeted drugs cause all of these side effects. Talk to your doctor or nurse about which ones are most likely with the treatment you're getting.
Skin problems
Some targeted drugs, especially those in the group called EGFR inhibitors, can cause rashes or other skin changes. These problems usually develop slowly over days to weeks. Skin changes (and ways to help manage them) are discussed in detail in the next section.
High blood pressure
Some targeted drugs, especially those called angiogenesis inhibitors, can raise your blood pressure. There isn't really anything you can do to prevent this, but your doctor will watch your blood pressure closely if you are getting a drug that can cause this side effect. Some people need medicine to bring their blood pressure down to safe levels during treatment. They should stay on this medicine until their doctor tells them it can be stopped.
Problems with bleeding or blood clotting
Angiogenesis inhibitors interfere with new blood vessel growth. This can lead to problems with bruising and bleeding. Bleeding, such as from the stomach and intestines, can be severe and even life threatening. Tell your doctor if you throw up blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, or if you notice dark or black stools or bright red blood in your stool. These can be signs of bleeding in the stomach or intestines.
These drugs can also cause blood clots in the lungs and legs, as well as heart attacks and strokes. Let your doctor know if you have problems with sudden swelling, pain, or tenderness in the arm or leg. If you have chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, vision problems, weakness, seizures, or trouble speaking, get emergency help. These can be symptoms of serious problems caused by blood clots.
These problems are not common, and there is no way to prevent them. If something like this happens, you may need to stop taking the targeted drug.
Problems with wound healing
By blocking new blood vessel growth, angiogenesis inhibitors also interfere with wound healing. This can lead to old wounds (cuts) opening up again and new wounds not closing. It can also lead to holes opening up in the stomach or intestine (called perforations). Tell your doctor right away if you have pain in your belly or vomiting.
Because these drugs can affect wound healing, they usually need to be stopped before any planned surgery, including dental procedures. Talk to your cancer doctor as soon as you know about a planned surgery or other procedure so you can find out what to do.
Heart damage
Drugs called HER2 inhibitors can damage the heart, especially if used with certain chemotherapy drugs. Your doctor will probably get tests of your heart function before treatment. Possible symptoms of heart damage might include chest pain, increased coughing, trouble breathing (especially at night), rapid weight gain, dizziness, fainting, or swelling in the ankles or legs. Tell your doctor right away if you start to notice any of these symptoms once treatment starts.
Autoimmune reactions
Drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors work by basically taking the brakes off the body's immune system. This can lead to serious side effects if the immune system starts to attack other parts of the body. In some people this can cause serious reactions in the lungs, intestines, liver, skin, eyes, nerves, hormone-making glands, or other organs. This is not common but in some people it might be serious enough to be life threatening.
If you are getting one of these drugs, it's very important to tell your doctor or nurse right away about any new side effects you are having. Treatment may need to be stopped. Sometimes people need to take drugs to suppress their immune systems.
Other side effects
Other side effects have also been linked to treatment with some targeted therapy drugs. Many of these side effects are the same as those that can be seen with standard chemotherapy drugs (although they are sometimes less severe). These include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Mouth sores
- Shortness of breath or trouble breathing
- Cough
- Feeling tired all the time (fatigue)
- Headache
- Swelling in the hands and feet
- Damage to organs such as the thyroid gland, liver, or kidneys
- Allergic reactions (while getting an IV drug)
- Increased risks of certain infections
- Second cancers
You can learn more about some of these side effects and how to manage them in our booklet A Guide to Chemotherapy.
Keep in mind that these are not all of the side effects that people have, just some of the more common ones. Each drug can have different effects. To find out more about a drug you are taking, call us at 1-800-227-2345.
Your health care team will watch you closely during treatment and will check you often. Side effects can and should be treated as early as possible. It's important that you tell your health care team about any changes in how you feel or anything you notice that's new or unusual. Tell them right away so they can treat any problems and try to keep them from getting worse.
