Nov 13 (Reuters) - Employers tried the carrot, then a smallstick. Now they are turning to bigger cudgels.
For years they encouraged workers to improve their healthand productivity with free screenings, discounted gymmemberships and gift cards to lose weight. More recently, asmall number charged smokers slightly higher premiums to getthem to quit.
Results for these plans were lackluster, and healthcarecosts continued to soar. So companies are taking advantage ofnew rules under President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul in2014 to punish smokers and overweight workers.
Some will even force employees to meet weight goals, quitsmoking and provide very personal information or pay up tothousands more annually for healthcare. That coulddisproportionately affect the poor, who are more likely to smokeand can't afford the higher fees.
Nearly 40 percent of large U.S. companies will usesurcharges in 2014, such as higher insurance premiums ordeductibles for individuals who do not complete company-sethealth goals, according to a survey of 892 employers released inSeptember by human resources consultancy Towers Watson andNational Business Group on Health, which represents largeemployers.
That is almost twice as many as the last time they did thesurvey in 2011, when only 19 percent of companies had suchpenalties. The number is expected to climb to two-thirds ofemployers by 2015.
Employers are getting much more aggressive about punishingworkers who are overweight or have high cholesterol. A studyreleased on Wednesday by the Obesity Action Coalition, anadvocacy group, covered workers at more than 5,000 companies whomust participate in their employer wellness programs to receivefull health benefits. Sixty-seven percent also had to meet aweight-related health goal such as a certain body mass index.
Almost 60 percent of these workers received no coverage thatpaid for fitness training, dietitian counseling, obesity drugsor bariatric surgery to help achieve a body mass index under 25,which is considered healthy.
"Weight requirements are an effective way to make it harderfor people with obesity to qualify for full health coverage,"said Ted Kyle, the study's lead author and founder ofConscienhealth, a Pittsburgh-based company that advises othercompanies on obesity programs.
"Some programs can verge on discrimination," he said.
Next year many more companies plan to penalize workers whouse nicotine because of their much higher healthcare costs.Proctor & Gamble Co, the Cincinnati-basedhousehold-product giant, will begin charging such employees anadditional $25 per month in 2014 until they have completed acompany-paid cessation program.
Under similar provisions, state employees in Wisconsin andWashington State will pay as much as $600 more per year, whilenonunion smokers at United Parcel Service Inc will payas much as $1,800.
"We found that while less than 10 percent of workers atlarge employers smoke, their impact to healthcare costs isdisproportionately huge," said LuAnn Heinen, vice president forthe National Business Group on Health. "Helping them quit -however you do that - has the most obvious near-term payoff interms of savings and productivity gains."
A recent Ohio State University study found that businessespay nearly $6,000 more annually per employee who smokes comparedwith a nonsmoker. Other research suggests that less than 16percent of employees participate in voluntary smoking cessationprograms, Heinen added.
A.H. Belo, owner of the Dallas Morning News, ProvidenceJournal and other publications, told staff in September that for2014 it would require employees and their spouses to complete abiometric health screening or face a $100 annual surcharge. In2015, employees will be asked not only to undergo the screeningbut to meet three out of five as yet unspecified health goals toavoid the additional fee.
Under Obama's Affordable Care Act, which takes effect inJanuary, companies can offer a reward of up to 30 percent ofhealthcare costs paid by the employee to those who completevoluntary programs like smoking cessation, a risk assessment orbiometric tests like waist measurement.
The financial incentives could add up to about $1,620annually per worker. But if wellness programs don't end upsaving costs, companies can raise premiums across the board orslap them on workers who don't get with the programs. In somestates, tobacco users who sign up for insurance through the newstate health exchanges could be charged 50 percent higherpremiums than nonsmokers.
Research suggests savings may be harder to achieve whenprograms are voluntary than has often been thought. A reportreleased in May by the RAND Corp found workers who participatedin a wellness program had healthcare costs averaging $2.38 lessper month than nonparticipants in the first year of the programand $3.46 less in the fifth year.
Some health and labor experts are concerned that penaltiesmay be unduly harsh, especially for low-wage workers and thosewho have health conditions beyond their control. According tothe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 29 percent ofadults with incomes below the federal poverty level smoke,compared with 18 percent of those above the poverty level.
Mark Rothstein, a lawyer and bioethics professor at theUniversity of Louisville School of Medicine, chooses to pay ahigher annual premium rather than complete a healthquestionnaire for his employer, calling it a "privacy tax."Lower-paid colleagues, he said, "don't have the same luxury toopt out."
Fierce resistance forced Pennsylvania State University inSeptember to abandon a plan to charge employees $100 per monthif they did not participate in various health screenings andfill out a detailed health questionnaire administered by WebMD,which asked among other things whether a worker had recentlydriven after drinking too much, whether female employees plannedto become pregnant in the next year and how frequently maleworkers performed testicular self-exams. This led to an outcryover privacy concerns and the potential for hacking of computerdatabases.
"These were just things no employer has the right to ask,"says Brian Curran, a professor of art history at Penn State whostarted an online petition to protest the questionnaire.
University officials had argued the penalty was needed totamp down healthcare costs and avoid tuition hikes. In Januaryit still plans to implement a $100-a-month surcharge for spousesand a $75-a-month penalty on tobacco users.
Courts so far have shown little resistance to such programs.The 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act(HIPAA) prohibits workers who are in a group health insuranceplan from being discriminated against on the basis of health,and Obamacare extends that right to individuals. But neitherbans penalties outright.
The law does specify that wellness programs must bevoluntary, but Lewis Maltby, president of the NationalWorkrights Institute, a legal advocacy organization, says thatcan be a slippery slope. Most employees don't feel like theyhave a choice, Maltby says. "In today's job market, anyreasonable request by one's employer is essentially read as ademand."

Citrus scents are impossibly fresh, but they also have a habit of going missing after a few hours. Until now, that is. This concentrated, distinctive blend lasts much longer than traditional citrus scents. Orange Sanguine is meant to recreate a moment in time, and mimics the blissful feeling of sitting on an oceanfront terrace, with groves of orange trees off in the distance. The joyful scent has top notes of blood orange and bitter orange, a middle transition with jasmine and geranium, and a base of amber woods, tonka beans, and sandalwood.
I usually don't use perfume as I try to stick to organic, pure oils, but this one smells so amazing I'm making an exception. Imagine cutting open the most perfectly ripe orange. That's what this smells like! The smell won't last all day, but you will enjoy it while it does!5
I've never been a sweet smelling perfume kind of girl. This perfume has the perfect mix of musky and feminine for me. It's a deep, fresh smell with hints of orange, I love it so much I bought the big bottle. I don't normally spend this much on perfume but it doesn't take much and the smell lasts a while.5

Turmeric Chicken
Total Time
Prep 4 hrs
Cook 30 mins
This is an amalgamation of a few recipes I found looking for new ways to enjoy chicken. It turned out pretty sensational. Hope you enjoy.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- salt, to taste
- 3 ounces lemon juice
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Combine turmeric, cayenne, 2 oz lemon juice, garlic and salt into a marinade, and marinate chicken for 3-4 hours. Make a basting sauce of the soy, sugar, oil and 1 oz of lemon juice.
- Grill the chicken until done, turning and brushing with the basting sauce every 5 minutes or so.
Most Helpful
Easy recipe to put together. Had some "bite" to it with the cayenne. I would leave the sugar out of the basting sauce next time, though. Didn't care for the sweet edge. Cooked mine indoors on the Foreman Grill, but will try again during the outdoor grilling season. Made for Fall 2009 My 3 Chefs game.

Basket Case is an ultra-cheap monster film created by neophyte filmmaker Frank Henenlotter with a tongue-in-cheek approach.
Basket Case is an ultra-cheap monster film created by neophyte filmmaker Frank Henenlotter with a tongue-in-cheek approach.Picture concerns a young man Duane (Kevin Van Hentenryck) from Glens Falls in upstate New York, who comes to the Big Apple and checks into a seedy 42nd St. hotel carrying a large wicker basket. A lengthy mid-film flashback reveals he is bent on revenge, carried out by his Siamese twin monstrous brother Belial (residing in the basket), killing off the three doctors who separated them surgically at age 10. Acting styles vary (creating intentional camp humor), but the leads are fine: Van Hentenryck creating great sympathy as a neurotic youngster and girlfriend Terri Susan Smith (as a doctor's receptionist) emerging in a blonde wig as an ingratiating performer. Robert Vogel in the stock role of a harried hotel manager gets some big laughs by forcefully playing it straight. Tech credits are a drawback, particularly the variable sound recording, grainy blowup from 16mm and shrill musical score.

OSU football notebook: Brandon Weeden, Justin Blackmon semifinalists for Walter Camp award
Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon have both been named semifinalists for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, which is given annually to the nation's top player.
OSU is the only school to have two players still in contention for the award.
Weeden, who is also a Heisman candidate, has amassed 3,635 passing yards and 31 touchdowns this season. Blackmon, the reigning Biletnikoff Award winner, has tallied 93 catches for 1,142 yards and leads the nation with 14 receiving touchdowns.
The five finalists for the award will be named Nov. 30. The winner will be announced Dec. 8.
Heisman voting officially opened Wednesday after ballots were distributed to the 927 electors on Monday.
Voters will have until 4 p.m. Monday, Dec. 5, to cast their ballot through an online system.
The electorate includes 870 media members, all 56 living Heisman winners and one overall fan vote.
Fans can vote for their favorite Heisman candidate at TheHeismanVote.com until Nov. 30.
OSU coach Mike Gundy has said repeatedly that he has been impressed with the way the players and coaches have handled the newfound attention and pressure that comes with being the No. 2 team in the BCS standings.
But he has also noticed that many other Cowboy supporters still have not seemed reached that point yet, based on the constant talk he hears at the athletic facility and around Stillwater.
"There is a comfort with the people that it's most important to, which is the team and the coaches," Gundy said. "But just right on that outside of that shell, I don't know that everybody's really settled in with it yet."
Much of the reason behind the Cyclones' 2-4 conference record so far this season is because of their struggle on offense.
ISU ranks last in the Big 12 in scoring offense (24 points per game), first downs gained (184) and passing efficiency (105.8).
The Cyclones have recently changed quarterbacks, starting redshirt freshman Jared Barnett the last two games instead of Steele Jantz.
The Cyclones also rank last in the conference in turnover margin (-0.89).
Individually, ISU wide receiver Josh Lenz is ninth in the Big 12 in all-purpose yards (110.1 per game), while linebacker Jake Knott ranks second in the conference with 8.9 tackles per game.

Five Things to Know About Kickboxing
Kickboxing isn't just for karate experts and movie stars anymore. Today, anyone can take a fitness class on the martial art, or even train up to begin their competitive MMA career. Whether you're interested in a cardio workout or some serious self-defense moves, here are five facts about kickboxing to read before you beat up some bags. 1. Kickboxing is many disciplines in one. It incorporates moves and techniques from different martial arts, so punches, kicks, elbows, clinches, and takedowns might all be fair game, depending on the subset of kickboxing being practiced. It remains a flexible sport, with styles varying widely among martial-arts purists, boxers, and fighters who work to cultivate a unique approach. 2. Its versatility translates well to fitness. Kickboxing balances upper- and lower-body flexibility with cardiovascular exercise, making for an effective full-body workout. Practitioners also get the benefit of learning self-defense techniques, getting a leg up on their peers who only know how to chuck a treadmill at an attacker. 3. It's not that old. Kickboxing is quite popular in Thailand, which is also home to Muay Thai—a form of boxing, practiced as a regulated sport since the late 19th century, in which fighters don gloves and other pads. In the early 1960s, a Japanese karate promoter became infatuated with Muay Thai—and particularly the full-contact striking that's not allowed in karate—and saw an opportunity to blend the styles. He prepared karate fighters to take on Muay Thai specialists, and the competition was fierce enough to inspire the birth of kickboxing as an organized sport in 1966. 4. The roundhouse is only one of many possible kicks. Most kickboxers will be familiar with staples such as front kicks, side kicks, and the famous roundhouse. But there are other, advanced kicks that are difficult to master, such as hook kicks, crescent kicks, axe kicks, and spinning back kicks. It's important to note which techniques are allowed if you're going into a competition, as certain styles (including American kickboxing) do not allow kicking below the waist. 5. If you get good enough at kickboxing, you're entitled to an awesome nickname. The best kickboxers tend to have the best stage names. For proof, just look at Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, Remy "The Flying Gentleman" Bonjasky, and Peter Aerts, known as "The Dutch Lumberjack" for his brutal high kicks. Learn about other intense workouts: CrossFit, Decoded CrossFit trainer Brendan Ziegler explains some of the workout's out-there terminology.

What's the buzz from the world of sports? Here are some items that will have people talking:
It has been reported recently that Reggie Miller has a strong chance of taking over as Indiana Pacers team president should Larry Bird step down.
The question is: Why?
For some reason, owners incessantly believe that success on the court or field or rink somehow translates into front-office acumen. Truth is, decisions such as these are more of a crap shoot than anything.
Sure, the likes of Jerry West helped transform the Lakers into the 21st century's most dominant basketball team, but for every West there is an Isiah Thomas, Elgin Baylor, Wayne Gretzky or even Michael Jordan, whose success as an exec/talent scout is infinitesimal when compared to his achievements between the lines.
Look, the jocks may hate it, but advanced statistics may tell us just as much about performance than the naked eye, and understanding of the CBA and contract negotiations are more significant attributes in a GM than a familiar face. Talking Points would favor a Rich Cho over a Reggie Miller in this position. Let the nerds have their day.
The more Talking Points contemplates that notion of NBA greats playing overseas, the more intrigued it is by the concept.
It imagines that international rules could alter the way fans view who the true "best player in the world" is.
Remember, in international competition, NBA players don't dominate in the same capacity that they do in their own league, and it's possible many of them would struggle to excel when playing in Europe or Asia.
Plus, in the same way that role players on championship teams come to fame when playing in the Finals, there may be a Turkish or French or British player we've never heard of all of a sudden come to prominence.

finally planted out all those things I meant to plant out in the spring. Luckily, we've had a wet fall, so I imagine they will do well.
Everything here was actually planted out, except for the rose which I dug up and moved. The roots were not how I expected. One really long tap root (which broke, as I was not expecting it) and very few roots around the surface, though the soil was very loose. I'm not sure that it will survive, and looked a little crispy the next day, but honestly, it was a freebie that I was never terribly fond of. If it grows, it grows.

Building Freedom Behind Bars poster
by Sanya Hyland and Just Seeds
In 1973 a group of workers in Walpole, Massachusetts, forged a cross-race coalition demanding better pay, improved safety, and a bigger say in determining their working conditions. When the "managers" went on strike—a company lock out—the workers seized control. That the workers were prisoners and that in taking control of the factory they also took control of the prison makes the story even more amazing. During their period of control, Walpole went from one of the most dangerous prisons in the US to one of the safest. Education classes were developed and the idea of rehabilitation actually became a possibility. Behind fellow inmates Bobby Dellelo and Ralph Hamm, prisoners organized as the National Prisoners Reform Association with a call for blue unity (as opposed to the brown uniforms of the guards). The NPRA fought for NLRB recognition and to democratically run Walpole prison. For an all-too-brief period the men of MCI-Walpole proved that the abolition of prison can be reality.

How strange is this for May? Is it insignificant, or does it suggest some sort of trade might be in the works?
The Cubs have sent LHRP C. J. Riefenhauser outright to Iowa.
Cubs MLB 40-man roster now stands at 37 (three slots open).
yow...the a.gordon/m.moustakas collision now makes the schwarb collision look minor in scope.
gordon broke his wrist, expected to miss 4+ weeks...and today moosetacos has been diagnosed with a torn ACL. fun times in KC.
dodgers calling up julio urias for tommorow's game. neat.
fernando-mania might have a new heir...dude is 19 (turns 20 in august) and he's got a legit argument for being MLB-ready.
Tony LaRussa, still an idiot

Gleyber also in the picture at second.
Losing the right way
Be sure to read this fine article about Yosh and Nobe Kawano.
O&B: I think D. J. Wilson is a legit MLB prospect.
He is a hyperactive dynamo on the field, a protypical lead-off hitter who is looking to get on base any way he can, a triple machine (if there is such a thing) when he does make solid contact, a daring baserunner who goes berserk once he is on base, and a CF who plays a "no fear" crash & burn style of defense.
Guys like that sometimes get injured more-often than the average player, but if he can stay healthy and continue to progress, I believe he will be an MLB CF, or at worst a 4th OF.
The hot start was nice, but it won't always come easy. It's nice to see them have to work for it every once in a while.
Hey, AZ, are you as high on DJ Wilson as your pal John Arguello is?
Phil, I just wanted to say thank you for diligently tracking the Cubs prospects in extended spring training and sharing your knowledge with us. It's remarkable how you're able to keep box scores for multiple games at once. I, and I'm sure others here, appreciate the data and insight you provide for us.
Thanks PHIL.
Boy, that is a nifty K:BB ratio Hudson has going at almost 4:1!
I hope he continues improving.
And of course the Bucs won again playing AZ (not PHIL). They dont seem to have a problem yet with the bottom feeders.
They picked up 3 games this last week.
I'm looking forward to them coming to the Chi.
Don't mess with the SI jinx. Since the Javy/Cubs cover came out, he is 2-for-20 with no walks.

I never even opened route 103 in A-Map, never mind edited it. I am playing the copy I made the patch from right now and it works just fine on both of those routes. Are you sure you patched it right?
Feel free to open up my ROM in PGE and compare pokemon stats to a clean Ruby (AXVE) copy. They are exactly the same with the exception of #9 which is your starter Derpizard. I did no randomizing whatsoever. I know what I did do and didn't do.
My fair opinion is that you patched an unclean rom, used the wrong patch with the wrong program, or are using a non-E version of Ruby.
Also, someone has already played the game the whole way through. He knew exactly what pokemon he was using based upon their index numbers and abilities when caught and the only bug he reported was a bad palette when you get to the Groudon Awakening. He also didn't report and randomization.
Also, I just checked route 103 and there aren't any totodiles.

Anarchy rules lol :-). Rik, Vyvyan, Neil, and Mike, four of the greatest comedy characters ever to appear on television !!!!!! Only 2 series, 12 episodes were ever made, which is a great shame. Come on Rik Mayall, Ade Edmonson, Nigel Planer and Christopher Ryan, get back together and fill us in on what has happened in the last 30 years....... Simply call the sequel "The Older Ones" !!!!!!! Are all the characters still unemployed? Did any of them find work? Did any of them get married? Did any of them eventually graduate lol :-)

YEEEEEAH... Umm I'm running out of choices so uhhhh yah.
I wrote something before but it got DELETED because I ACCIDENTALLY clicked a link before posting. So instead I'm posting slightly less than before. T∆T
(It's still a lot tho. Pretty much because it's pre-typed tho. XD)
Okay shoot me, I'm retarded, was Akon the third seat in his first appearance or am I just not remembering it right? XD
Well umm anyway...
Interesting new storyline thingy... Umm... I'm not really sure what can really even be said about Quincies since there's what, 2 of them? Uryu and his dad, um...
That is, unless there are MORE and they were in hiding or something...???
But yeah that IS what I thought too, when I noticed the hollow extermination part. XD
But wow I wonder if MAYBE the Quincies will actually tie back into the SS story...?? I sure as hell HOPE so if this is really one arc... I mean, I want to know so many things, and most of them happen to be about the SS. LOL
Also. Building, not phone pole? C-c-c-c-c-combo breaker!!! *shot* Sorry, had to. =P
Honestly the new characters seem a bit dull so far... And the chapter was surprisingly (or not, knowing Kubo, lol) slow-ish paced...
But I guess that's kinda how Bleach is. Even re-reading (as I am, and I just finished volume 12) I noticed a single chapter is pretty slow, even way back then... So actually I guess I'm not so surprised after all. XD
I hope things pick up soon... But you know, I think I more enjoy reading the chapters in bulk, I kinda get lost over a week, and sort of forget the last chapter sometimes. XD Well that's kinda why I'm re-reading everything anyway... LOL
I guess the color pages are a really nice touch though. <3
And the arc title is extremely intriguing... I mean really, a whole freakin' war. With blood. For SO DAMN MANY YEARS. O.O
Now I'm worried, will the humans in the cast be dead (like, naturally, by age) by the time this all gets concluded? XD XD XD I kinda want to see them still be in high school (or at least just-graduated) when it's all over... LOL
Then again, the entire story up until now took place over just a few months... LOL And not to mention there were a TON of chapters that happened on - gasp - the SAME DAY. How long did it take Kubo to write all those same-day chapters??? XD XD XD
I guess it's hard to know for sure what the passage of time will be like for this arc...
I'm sort of thinking that maybe the 1000 years is a reference to something in the past that has been going on for maybe a good 999 years...? XD I dunno... I just don't see this travelling quite THAT far into the future, especially since it took so long for one freakin' day to pass... XD
Also, welcome new member. I'm Min (no duh lol) umm hi. XD I do realize I'm one post late with this but hey, I WAS LAZY. =P
I'm captain of squad 10 here. We have cookies. XD

Obama Picks Senator Who 'Stole' Neil Kinnock Speech as His Running Mate; RIDING A WAVE: Joe Biden with His Wife Jill at His Home in Delaware after Yesterday's News. below Left: With Barack Obama at a Rally in April
Byline: William Lowther
BARACK Obama has rejected Hillary Clinton and chosen 65-year-old Senator Joe Biden - one of his fiercest critics - to become his vice-presidential running mate in the race for the White House.
The highly controversial selection will infuriate Mrs Clinton's millions of supporters as the Democratic Party opens its nominating convention in Denver, Colorado, this week.
Mr Biden is also recognised as being gaffe-prone, and was forced to drop out as a candidate for president in 1988 after it was discovered his best speech had been plagiarised from then British Labour Party leader Neil - now Lord - Kinnock.
Since then the two men have become firm friends and Lord Kinnock said last night that the last time he saw Mr Biden, the senator introduced him to aides by saying: 'Do you know this guy? He used to be my greatest speechwriter.' Earlier this year, with Mr Biden again running as a presidential candidate, he denounced Mr Obama by declaring he simply didn't have enough experience for the top job.
'Obama is not ready to be president,' Mr Biden said in a TV interview that is now certain to become the centrepiece of Republican Party advertising as they focus their attacks on America's first major black presidential candidate.
Mr Biden went on to specifically point out that Mr Obama, 47, didn't have enough experience of foreign policy.
And asked at the time if he would consider running as vicepresident, Mr Biden said: 'I am not running as vice-president. I would not accept it if anyone offered it to me.' Those close to Mr Biden said last night that the Delaware senator now regretted his remarks, as Mr Obama had proven in the last three months that he was 'the right man at the right time' and Biden was 'deeply proud' to be his running mate.
Mr Obama has chosen Mr Biden because of his enormous foreign policy and defence experience - he is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
He hopes it will balance his own near-total lack of foreign policy background and help counter Republican charges that the world is far too dangerous a place to trust the White House to such a newcomer.
Mr Obama is known to dislike
Mrs Clinton, but he was under enormous pressure to pick her as vice-president because she won so many votes in the presidential primaries and because she continues to attract the white working class that remains suspicious and unsure of him.
The Obama camp is alarmed that despite their leader's unquestioned charisma he is still running neck-and-neck with the 72-year-old Republican nominee, John McCain. …

Would you be doing it just for the sake of automation? Even if you didn't have a strategy for where your actions were going to take you?

I think that everyone reading this blog will agree that automation for the sake of automation is the wrong approach. Automation with a strategic plan to avoid collision with manual manufacturing processes and optimize profits is a better approach. Taking the time to do the analysis of defining which processes should be automated and which processes are better suited for a skilled labor force, depending on the desired levels of quality, is definitely worth your time. Striking the balance for your particular company is how you optimize profits.

Looking at global strategies for manufacturing is exactly what you will learn at CFE's 2nd annual Manufacturing and Automation Summit, a live virtual event, September 8, 2011. This exciting event is hosted by the editorial teams of both Control Engineering and Plant Engineering and offers a unique learning opportunity for manufacturing professionals by providing unprecedented access to some of the industry's most forward thinking executives. The Summit takes on some of manufacturing's biggest challenges and delivers must-have how-to information on the key issues they face daily:

 Energy and Sustainability

 Maintenance as a cost center

 Automation integration

 Global strategies for manufacturers

 Presentation of the latest study, The Changing World of the Plant Engineer

Before I wrote this blog to promote the event, I decided to sit down with Bob Vavra, editor for Plant Engineering, to learn more about the research and preparation that has gone on behind the scenes for this event. Bob, you may remember is a favorite at IBM Pulse and a recognized thought leader in the manufacturing industry as well.

Here are some insights from my interview.........

Bob pointed out that no matter where you are in the world, whether you have been the leader in manufacturing for years or you are a start up company in an emerging country, the challenges that manufacturers face are similar........safety, quality, productivity and more recently energy sustainability for your plant. As competition grows manufacturers are driven to find more efficiencies and to develop more skilled workers. Many times giving employees a greater stake in the company drives greater collaboration, morale, and company pride, not to mention increased profits.

Since this event is a joint effort of both the Plant Engineering and Control Engineering arms of CFE Media, Bob hopes that a global audience, beyond just their subscribers, will participate as they unite in their discussions on how to apply what they learn at the summit into every day practical solutions.

Bob was eager to share a few insights about the speakers and what we can expect from their topics, specifically:

As Congressman Don Manzullo discusses how manufacturing is being restored in America, he is quick to point out that manufacturers in America need to be proactive at making their government officials aware of the challenges they are facing to restore manufacturing in America. Inviting a politician to the plant floor brings first hand awareness that can not be communicated in a letter.

Next up is David Cline from Harland Clarke, who Bob pursued to join the event after hearing him speak at a conference earlier this year. His topic "Maintenance as a profit center" really resonates well in today's competitive market.

Another one of our favorites from IBM Pulse, Dave Reiber from General Motors will be on board to discuss "The way back for Detroit".......which will no doubt resonate the sense of pride that manufacturers feel in the city of Detroit., as well as across the globe.

I'm also looking forward to hearing Augie DiGiovanni from Emerson Process Management discuss "The intersection of automation and maintenance", which will help us to avoid a collision and discuss why manufacturers shouldn't be implementing automation just for the sake of automation. Automation should only be implemented if it serves a purpose and is part of a plan with practical benefits.

We will also hear from Douglas Woods, president of the Association for Manufacturing Technology, in his keynote presentation.

Bob pursued Joe Weigel from Schneider Electric to join the summit because of his recognized leadership in arc flash safety. His presentation on "Electrical safety as a core principal" will highlight the importance of safety, which should never be minimized for cost savings.

Finally, Mary Bunzel, a recognized thought leader from IBM in the manufacturing industry, wraps up the day discussing "A report on the state of asset management in global manufacturing". Mary has travelled the globe listening to manufacturers describe their challenges. Some of you may remember this video from IBM Pulse where Mary talked about the importance of Asset Management in Manufacturing:

<object height="300" width="450"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qid1e_6HqeM?version=3&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qid1e_6HqeM?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="300" width="450"></object>

I intend ln makibg it self sufficient quickpy
through sellig small game and poultry
Anonymous Coward 24520447
Your kidding right...? Do you know how much game and poultry you would have to have to live as you put it. First off you can't just sell game. You need tags to hunt and you only get one. Its illegal to sell game. You can eat yourself what you kill but can't sell it.
Poultry...Ha ha ha. Chickens and Turkeys are alot of work. You need feed for them that you buy at a store. 10 chickens over the course of a year eat alot. 200lbs of starter feed when you get your chicks. Then about 80 lbs a month. Do the math. Feed is about 10 bucks a bag give or take. Going up right now.
Saying if you were to do this right now. 10 acres will cost you what... then solar to run it will be 20k. then outbuildings for livestock another 20k. drilling a well 10-20k. Fencing 5k. Tractor to till the ground and keep things up min 10k. should I keep going. Even a one room cabin by the time you get wood stoves and alike for it would run you 15k. If you don't have a farming background and know what your doing before you do it you will fall on your face hard.
Not that easy. I bought a place 12 years ago and it has taken a long time to get everything in place to be self sufficient.
Anonymous Coward 21948869
Kudos, really. You must know from experience then: You don't do it all at once, its a slowly built system over many many years to become truly self-sufficient. One might hold off on livestock until they had the means to feed them without the usage of much outside feeds in order to prevent what you described above. Same thing for the other items, you can't expect to do it all at once you'll freaking kill yourself and I doubt many are that rich.
Anonymous Coward 1292637
To feed chickens and Turkeys even after your set up and have a couple of goats for cheese and milk you need to plant about 3-4 acres into grain and then maybe you would have some left over for yourselves.
Yes you can forage and pick things like plaintains for them thru the winter but you would spend alot of time doing this also. You could add rabbits as the three go together nicely but still huge piles of work. Huge. Vegan works better. Grow huge gardens of root vegtables that store over the winter then start all over again the following spring.
Hunt what you can for protein and fish and dry it all for over the winter. Better buy a ton of salt litterally.
Do you seriously think you have that kind of time to get somthing going with the way things are going...?
You need to start to really sit down and get some reading under your belt to understand how it would all work. I've seen many people with many a good intention move to the country for the lifstyle and leave within the first two years even when they bought a place that was partially set up already. Its not for the meek or people with bad backs.

The Sumter County School District is in the process of developing a strategic plan that must be submitted to the Alabama Department of Education by October.
Part of the process of developing the plan, calls for the gathering of information from the community the district serves.
The district organized a series of community meetings, the first at North Sumter Junior High, to gather that data.
"How can you do a plan without hearing from the stakeholders?" asked Harold L. Bishop, a strategic planning consultant. "The citizens all over Sumter County are the stakeholders of this school district."
"We heard some strengths, we heard some weaknesses," said superintendent Lula Larkin. "And this is what we want to hear. We want to find out what we're doing good, things that we are not doing, how we can improve."
But the information gathered will only be one source of data that will contribute to the school district's final strategic plan.
"We are going to look at archival also. We have to look at enrollment figures. We have to look at disciplinarian reports. We have to look at where teachers are. We have to look at the condition of facilities. All
of this will contribute to the board's decision regarding what the strategic planning area should be," Bishop said.
Community meetings are scheduled for Thursday, May 29, at 6:30 p.m.
at Sumter County High School and Thursday, June 5 at 6:30 p.m. at Livingston High School.

Officials call for state forest action
HARRISBURG - A controversy over possible natural gas drilling in the Loyalsock State Forest is building as several state lawmakers and environmental groups called this week for Gov. Tom Corbett to take a stronger role in protecting the forest.
Rep. Greg Vitali, D-Havertown, ranking Democrat on the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, said formal public hearings are needed on the proposal by Anadarko Petroleum Corp. to drill on 25,000 acres in the state forest that cover parts of Lycoming, Sullivan and Bradford counties.
The proposal is drawing statewide interest because the potential drilling area includes the 27-mile Old Logger's Path, the headwaters and portions of the Rock Run exceptional value stream, Pleasant Stream Valley, Sharp Top Vista and the lumber ghost town of Masten.
The forest is a "critical bird nursery," said Paul Zeph, conservation director for Audubon America.
Man charged after police chase
WILKES-BARRE - An Edwardsville man caught driving a stolen car led police on a chase the wrong way on Wilkes-Barre streets and then ran through yards during a pursuit that ended when he got stuck on a fence, according to court records.
Zildjian H. Zablotney, 20, of 393 Lawrence St., is charged with receiving stolen property, fleeing to elude, flight to avoid apprehension, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, failing to stop at a stop sign, driving without a license and driving the wrong way.
Wilkes-Barre police encountered Mr. Zablotney about 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, when they saw him driving a blue Chevrolet Monte Carlo that had been reported stolen. When police took Mr. Zablotney into custody, they discovered he had no driver's license and was wanted for criminal trespassing.
Mr. Zablotney remained at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility in lieu of $25,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is slated for May 7.

For my husband's 40th birthday I surprised him with a table for 20 of our close friends and family at San Carlo's. The atmosphere was fantastic, the food great and the whole evening went off really well. My husband was surprised and very happy. The staff made him feel very special.
The restaurant is expensive but I think it is a very good choice for a special ocassion and I would use it again in a heatbeat.

"The Land of Tight Security" Manila by Aidy_p
Manila Travel Guide: 2,212 reviews and 5,535 photos
I had wanted to visit Philippines as far back as the 90s but found no true reason why I should do that, until now.
Prior to that, there was always a nearer country that I could spend less time on the airplane, or more exotic places where you could capture picture-perfect shots.
This trip, I visited Philippines with seven other people to render assistance to the needy, to feed the hungry children; to bring smiles to their faces.
We had heavy lugguages and the items we had largely made up of old clothing that we wanted to give away to these children. We were armed with nothing more than a few sets of our own clothing, sculpturing balloons and a guitar.
It was indeed a very different trip for me.
