A new $550,000, 4,000-square-foot senior center in Ponte Vedra Beach was unanimously approved Wednesday by the St. Johns Board of County Commissioners.
The new facility will be built near the Winston Family YMCA on Landrum Lane, and the financing was made possible by a $300,000 grant from the Players Championship Charities of the PGA Tour, as well as a $100,000 gift from Ponte Vedra Beach residents Donald and LaVonne Blackburn.
However, the county will front the money for the structure and will be paid back over 10 years under a lease with the Council on Aging.
On a motion by Commissioner Bruce Maguire, the measure passed 5-0.
Mary Ann Blount, the county's real estate manager, told the commission that the Council on Aging had been using the Palm Valley Community Center a few days a week to serve lunches to seniors in the area.
"But it became obvious that a larger facility was necessary," she said.
The 3.8-acre site in an existing planned unit development was found on Landrum Lane.
Bruce Barber, chairman of a citizens committee charged with bringing a senior center in Ponte Vedra Beach, said his fellow committee members spoke to the PGA Tour about a possible grant.
"After a wait of five months, they said, 'Yes, we can do that.' The PGA Tour was just an angel. They are so generous," Barber said.
The committee included Al Hammack, Vic DiGenti, Carolyn Dickson, Mary Marx, Chuck Johnson and Teresa Rogers. Barber was asked to chair it by Maguire.
"We have exactly the amount of money we need for the building," Barber said. "But the fund-raising efforts have just begun. There is a huge need in our community."
Don Blackburn, retired chairman emeritus of American Food Service Corp. of King of Prussia, Pa., said their gift of $100,000 for the interior furnishings of the unit was inspired by his wife's mother.
"My wife used to take her to a senior center in Sioux Falls, S.D. Her mother was confined to a wheelchair with rheumatoid arthritis and enjoyed going to the senior center."
The Blackburns toured a former firehouse in Palm Valley that was available, but the building and parking were not suitable for a senior center, he said.
"My wife said, 'Let's do something for seniors who are not as fortunate as we are.' So we told the county that we would furnish the inside if they would get it built," Blackburn said.
"The more I'm around seniors, the more enthused we get about what we're doing."
Cathy Brown, executive director of the Council on Aging, said older adults most often suffer from loneliness, isolation and depression.
"Senior centers are the most cost-efficient way of fighting those," she said. "This is a much larger grant than the PGA has ever done before. This is right in their back yard."
She also gave credit to Garry Phillips of the Palm Valley Community Association for starting the initial center. "He was our champion," Brown said.
In the new center, she envisions serving a congregate meal such as lunch, wellness and computer instruction, and perhaps dance classes.
"In that ZIP code, there are 325 seniors living below the poverty line," she said. "If transportation is provided, and I expect it will, this could be a high-capacity center. It's a start."
The Coastal Community Center on Marine Street is 16,000 square feet.
Commissioner Marc Jacalone said he wanted to congratulate whomever is responsible for getting the center to this point. "It's a great location and is a partnership that is very workable," he said. "It's a commitment of all the parties involved for a need that exists."

A walk through the eastern part of the Addison County Fair and Field Days grounds Wednesday revealed a diverse range of attractions and competitions.
Chris Nelson, a chainsaw carver from Lincoln, shared his thoughts on his trade and life.
"I started doing this in May 2013," Nelson said, "so about 14 months now."
On the opening day of Field Days last Tuesday, the blacksmithing barn at the Addison County Fairgrounds was dedicated to Roger Layn and his family in honor of Layn's lifelong contribution to the fair.
The 94-year-old Monkton resident is a longtime dairy farmer and a collector of antique equipment.
"I really don't think it was necessary," said Layn, regarding the building's dedication in his honor. "I appreciate it, however."
NEW HAVEN — For those with a sweet tooth, the sugarhouse at Addison County Fair and Field Days is an irresistible attraction.
A warm, maple aroma fills the building, where customers decide between maple candies, donuts, creemees, cotton candy, maple coffee and maple popsicles.

Last week's Addison County Fair and Field Days was filled with a thousand little stories — more than can be recounted in one newspaper. Lucien Paquette, the fair's father figure, was there (see story here), as were thousands of vendors, competitors and families. We present here a few snapshots from the fairgrounds to give you a taste of the 66th annual Field Days.
NEW HAVEN — A familiar sight roamed the grounds of the Addison County Fair and Field Days in New Haven last week, just like he has for nearly seven decades.
Lucien Paquette, who will turn 98 on Thursday, helped found the event in the 1940s, and has since remained a part of Addison County's annual agricultural celebration.
ADDISON COUNTY — It's no secret that Vermont's farmers are aging, but a program run by the University of Vermont Extension aims to inject new blood into the state's backbone industry.
The well-known garden quote, penned over 200 years ago by landscape designer William Kent, that is the headline for this week's column still rings true today. Creating a beautiful garden is akin to making pictures where you, the artist, get to choose the plants and manipulate them on your canvas to create a vibrant glorious whole.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In what he said is a victory for consumers, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has authored legislation that will allow Americans to switch wireless carriers while keeping their cell phone or tablet.
The process, known as "unlocking," affords consumers more freedom to choose the wireless carrier and mobile device that best suits them.
On Friday, President Obama signed the legislation, formally titled the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act.
ADDISON COUNTY — Visitors at this year's Addison County Fair and Field Days can expect all the familiar agricultural exhibits and competitions, in addition to a few new attractions.
The 66th annual fair will open Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. and run through Saturday evening, when the midway closes at midnight.

|Grade or Year Level of Class Observed: 4TH Year High School
|Date of Observation: September 02, 2011
|Subject Matter: MAPEH 4
|Brief description of Teaching approach used by the Teacher:
Their teacher entered their classroom with a proper P.E attire and told her students to
prepare because they will have their basketball class.
|Teaching Aids used (Enumerate in bullet form)
|Comments on Appropriateness of the Teaching Aids used
|¤ Ball
¤ Basketball Court
¤ Proper uniform
¤ Whistle
|¤ Since their topic is basketball they should used a ball.
¤ The court is very useful because as part of the basketball game it is very important to have a court.
¤ Their proper uniform helps the students to perform well the different skills taught by their teachers.
¤ as a part of the equipment of the game it is very important to have a whistle for any violations or matters.
|¤ Since their topic is Baketball the teaching aids used by the teacher is very appropriate, their teacher had no any difficulties in teaching the rules and skills about basketball because she had the proper equipment used.
What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the materials/learning resources that she/he used?
Since their topic is Basketball, I think the teacher decided to let her class went to the basketball court to make her class more appropriate, so that she can teach and perform well the skills of basketball and as well as her students. In teaching you must think of the teaching materials that you will used for a good class discussion.
What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be managed?
I think the difficulties did the teacher experience during her class was the students who were not really good in basketball or those students who doesn't know how to play basketball.
The teacher managed those kind of difficulties by approaching her students well, teaching the proper skills, how to do it and giving more time for those students who doesn't know how to play basketball.
Over- all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why? Why not?
Yes, the learning resources/materials were used effectively, because the students were enable to perform what their teacher wants them to do and at the end of their class they've learned something about basketball.
If I am the teacher of that class, I will do the same thing; I will let them out of the room and have our class in the gym so that we will have the proper place in discussing the game basketball. For those students who doesn't know how to play basketball I will focus on them but not too much, I will give more time to them than those students who already know playing basketball. At the end of our class my students must know at least 3-4 skills of basketball especially those students who doesn't know the game basketball.
I know it is not easy but as a teacher I must do my best, I should not give up because it is my job and my duty.

Reviews for Nami Greater Orlando, Inc.
I have served on this Board for four years and became involved after attending one of the signature education programs NAMI offers as a way of learning more about my daughter's mental illness. I was so changed by the experience that I became more involved with the Organization in an attempt to give back. In addition to serving on the Board, I am a certified Family-to-Family education teacher, and I am a public speaker for the Organization. We are a dedicated Board of Directors with a strong sense of fiduciary responsibility to our members and donors. All of our education and support programs are offered at no charge.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Endow it. Mental illness is a stigmatized brain illness and fundraising is made difficult because many of the individuals affected lack resources or capability of making their voices heard. Until we treat mental illness like we do other biological disorders, raising funds will continue to be difficult.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you tell others about this organization?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
My first contact with NAMI Greater Orlando was in 2005 as a participant in the 12 week Family to Family Program. The program is designed to help family members better understand the experience of their family member who suffers from a serious mental illness, treatment methods, medications, coping members, family support and more. The 2 group leaders were top - notch, as leaders and sources of inspiration and hope for participants. I have also attended the local NAMI Family Support Group that meets weekly in Maitland, FL. NAMI programs are offered free to the public. My experience with NAMI Greater Orlando was life changing for me, my family member and for several friends who I have referred over the past several years. Because i feel so strongly about NAMI Greater Orlando, I have participated for the past several years as a volunteer and fund-raiser for the NAMI Walk which is held annually in the Spring. This is a well run organization with a strong Board of Directors who carefully plan how to use resources, expand existing programs and initiate new programs.

Norwich City defender Dani Ayala has completed a move to Championship club Middlesbrough for an undisclosed fee.
Ayala agreed a three-and-a-half deal to join the Teesiders after a loan spell for Aitor Karanka's side. The 23-year-old never played a first team game under Chris Hughton at Carrow Road after moving from Liverpool in August 2011.
Ayala's loan deal expired on Thursday but Karanka was keen to make his compatriot his first permanent signing since replacing Tony Mowbray
"We're near to a deal to keep him," he said on Thursday. "The club is working to keep him here, and he is an important player for me. The most important thing is that the club are doing everything they can. Would it be another loan or a permanent signing? We are working on lots of options."
Ayala made 12 starts and one substitute appearance for Boro, scoring three goals, in his loan stint. The Spaniard is also eligible for Boro's weekend Championship match against promotion-chasing Leicester.

Glimmers Of Hope
Memoir of a Volunteer in Zambia
Mark Burke
Dit boek is als download beschikbaar op uw Mac of iOS-apparaat met iBooks, en op uw computer met iTunes. Boeken kunnen worden gelezen met iBooks op uw Mac of iOS-apparaat.
The true story of a London schoolteacher, who, tired of the rat race and brooding over a failed relationship, uproots and volunteers to teach in rural Africa for two years. Sent to the Republic of Zambia with a remit to teach maths, HIV and Gender awareness, he finds eager pupils struggling in a tough environment. In between battling snakes, stomach bugs and death-defying bus journeys , Mark finds both hope in unusual places, and corruption where he least expects. This memoir is both a recollection of his more vivid memories of eastern province, and his reflections on problems in Zambia and their possible causes. It is also a useful study of the physical and psychological challenges that a volunteer may face in Africa.

Without the inspiration of dance, romantic comedies would have no plots, just-married grooms would be short of romantic surprises at wedding receptions, and inebriated falsetto impressions of Phil Collins' lyrics would fall flat. Embrace the darling of contemporary choreography with today's deal: $29 for five fun, latin grooving Zumba sessions at Rio Rhythmics in Brisbane ($65 value).
Rio Rhythmics entices the Zumbacurious with a comprehensive five-session taster, whether talented toe-tappers or timid treaders.

An already comprehensive mecca for lovers of Latin, Rio Rhythmics throws the Zumba Fitness programme into the mix with gyrating gusto.

Gail Simone continues to raise the plateau ever higher if for no other reason than to have a new top to take her stories over. A battle between warring squads of malcontents wasnât over the top enough. It had to be fueled by back-stabbing and double-crossing and then seasoned with dinosaurs. Hell, Simone even puts Bane and his team on dinosaurs!
The crazy thing is that whatever Simone drops into this book works. The main story has Catman and his crew pitted against Bane and his new Six, but right behind that is the story of Amanda Waller playing a political chess match against Katarina Armstrong (Spy-Smasher). This issue is an enticing cross-section of worlds Simone has built, modified, and streamlined, including Giganta, Dwarfstar, and Spy-Smasher.
Calafiore delivers detail, action, and emotion. Some of his figures are a little too similar, but Simoneâs story is filled with enough oddities that they help distinguish themselves when Calafoireâs art doesnât quite deliver. Calafioreâs skill as an artist is put to the test in this issue as he is asked to draw everything from Catman biting Dwarfstarâs ear â through his mask! â to Ragdoll plucking out King Sharkâs eye, to armor plated dinosaurs riding into battle.
It all sounds absurd, mostly because it is, but Simone blends it all together into an exciting, unpredictable, and at times, confusing story. Quite confidently, I can say that there is no other comic like this on the stands today. For the most part, Iâm not certain what a comic âlike thisâ would be as this comic defies all genre-labeling.
Iâm sure a comic reader or two picked this book up based solely on the cover image: Bane, reining in a Tyrannosaurus Rex as though it were a common steed. It is an impressive image to say the least, and an image that speaks to the creative, impossible greatness that comic books are able to offer. The image is true to the tale beneath, but it doesnât telegraph the entirety of the story within. This is a book that can only be experienced, as it defies description. Trust me on this one; give âSecret Sixâ a shot. Youâll see for yourself this book is unlike anything else youâve read in a long time.

Does anyone know of a Bid Proposal plugin that I could use?
What I'm looking for is a simple template style page that I can email to a user. We have a company that has to place bids (also known as estimates) to get jobs and then we have to write an invoice if we get the job. I have a great plugin for the invoice portion but I can't find anything to write bid proposals and email them.
I have found wpBids but that is an entire theme and not a backend plugin. Any ideas?

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Veteran tough guy Rob Ray sued the NHL Players' Association on Tuesday, seeking to be included in the union's lockout compensation fund.
Ray believes the NHLPA might have shut him out as punishment after he said in October that he would cross the line and return to playing if the NHL used replacement players.
"I was promised something that they're not coming through with, so I've taken the steps that I needed to take," Ray told The Associated Press.
NHLPA spokesman Jonathan Weatherdon declined comment.
In the lawsuit filed in New York Supreme Court in Buffalo, Ray is seeking to receive full compensation after the NHLPA began paying its players up to $10,000 a month last month.
Ray is a 15-year NHL veteran who is an unrestricted free agent after finishing last season with Ottawa. He said he was notified early last month that an NHLPA committee ruled that he wasn't eligible for compensation.
The notification, Ray said, came shortly after he was quoted by The Ottawa Sun as saying, "I'd cross the line in a second. Why wouldn't I? I know about 10 guys who would be ahead of me and these guys are 10 current NHL players. Everybody just wants to get back to playing."
Ray said Tuesday he made those comments out of frustration because of the stalled negotiations.
"I said, 'Yeah, I would cross,' just to let them know that guys want to play, and all of this political stuff that's going on is bothering a lot of people," Ray said.
Asked whether he would still consider crossing the line, Ray said: "You know what, I love the game and there's a million other guys that love the game. And I believe that there's a lot of guys that would do what they have to do to play the game."
The lockout entered its 104th day on Tuesday, and there are fears the dispute could wipe out the entire season.
The two sides last talked on Dec. 14 when the NHL rejected a union proposal and had its own counteroffer turned down. No new talks are scheduled, but the NHL board of governors planned to meet on Jan. 14.
Ray spent most of last season working as a TV broadcaster with his former team, the Buffalo Sabres, before signing with Ottawa in February. He played six games with the Senators and was on the team's roster when it was eliminated by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round of last year's playoffs.
The Sabres' all-time penalty minutes leader, Ray has appeared in 900 games, scoring 41 goals and 50 assists, with 3,207 penalty minutes.
Ray said NHLPA executive director Bob Goodenow told him last spring that he would be included among the players compensated.
"He looked right at me and said, 'Razor, even a guy like you that might not ever play the game again, you're being carried through this whole thing,'" Ray said. "I'm like, 'Hey, that's cool.' And now this is happening."
In a press release issued by Ray's lawyer David H. Elibol, Ray also urged players to "ask NHLPA leadership questions about the stalled labor talks with the NHL, stating ... Goodenow works for them."
Ray said he's urging both sides to get a deal done.
"I think the players made a step and the owners made a step, but tiny steps aren't going to get us anywhere," Ray said. "I just think the game is way too fragile in a lot of places right now. And the chances of really causing some serious damage is huge.
"It's crazy to see," Ray added. "You don't want to see ... a game that you love more than just about anything be hurt like that."

I would like to add colours to the menu bar tabs but cannot find a way to do so.
adjust the hex value of this code declaration to your child theme and the main-nav bg color changes :-)
#site-navigation {
background: #FFFFFF
try different values and see the result :-)
designbyjesseR said correctly. That's what you really need to do.
Haven't the faintest idea what designbyjesseR is talking about unfortunately. I'm using Custom CSS Manager and I put the code into it (and even managed to remember to save it), but it does nothing.
Is the Custom CSS Manager perhaps not the right tool?
I'm looking to change the menu items to individual colors, not just change the background color of the menu bar itself.

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
The image above, featuring pretty much every variation of the Batman symbol, has been tearing its way across Tumblr for a few days now. I first saw it at Quipsologies, which describes it thusly: "Proof that Batman has one of the greatest logos ever: Recognizable (and equally bad ass) in any incarnation."
Sounds about right to me!
Here's something I'd like to throw to the group, though: Which of these Bat symbols do you consider to be the "real" one? Weaned as I was on Tim Burton's Batman, I have to go with the fifth one down in the third column–that's the version I myself wear in the classic yellow-on-black t-shirt form. What say you, Batfans?
First column, bottom symbol
Third column, 3rd symbol up from the bottom
They're the same one!
i want to throw all of these at someone.
There are a few duplicates. And the "real" one is 3rd column, 1 down. The Nolanverse logo. Although the Burton logo is more likely to be recognized by the masses. I already have 3 of these tattooed, now I have an actual checklist.
Didn't the original Burton logo have "legs?" At least on Bats' chestplate? Not seeing that version here.
Link: http://blogs.theage.com.au/schembri/batman.jpg
Awesome, though!
I meant the one from the poster, and most of the t-shirts of the time:
Where's the Dark Knight Returns' bat-symbol? #5 in the first column kinda resembles it, but Frank Miller drew it a lot chunkier, like a massive trapezoid with tiny hooks. Not that it's my favorite, just one of the more memorable ones. Best one IMO is the one at the top of the second column. Stylish!
It is missing the "legs" one from Batman '89 but I don't particularly care as I'll agree, third row middle symbol is the one and only real Batman logo. After that is middle row, third one down. Begins/Dark Knight symbol is third.
'89 Bats logo is the one for me, too. It's the right proportions (as opposed to the exaggerated third row, bottom one) and those nifty curved wings.
That one everyone is calling the Tim Burton symbol? It's not from Tim Burton. It was the Bat-symbol in use in the comics since the early 1970s. Neal Adams and Jim Aparo were the ones who used it the most and it was the "official" copyrighted Bat-symbol long before Burton added legs in '89 (and took them of for '92)
I'd say the black on yellow says it for me.
But this misses a few notable symbols, not the least of which was the adam west series and the "Knightfall" logo. Check them all out here:
Joel–I know, but my first exposure to that shape was from the Burton posters.
I was kind of looking for the logo with legs on it. But thanks for rounding up these batman logos.

International Students: Health Insurance Frequently Asked Questions
I am beginning my studies at Golden Gate University in the upcoming term. Am I required to have health insurance?
If you are studying at GGU on an F1 or J1 visa, you are required to have health insurance. You must either take part in the Kaiser Student Health Insurance Plan or provide proof of coverage through an equivalent health insurance plan by completing the Online Waiver Form by the deadline.
The deadline to waive out of the Kaiser Student Health Insurance Plan is always the tenth day of the term. For the Accounting and Tax cohorts' one-month plan, the waiver deadline is on the fifth day from the start of the fall term.
Do I have to complete a waiver application each term?
Yes - the waiver is only effective for the current term. If you would like to waive participation for the next term, you must complete another waiver application before the deadline for that term.
How do I apply for a waiver?
To waive plan participation, complete the Online Health Insurance Waiver Form as soon as possible, and prior to the waiver deadline, which is 10 days after the start of the term. We encourage you to make changes to your insurance (waive/enroll) before registering for classes. Please know that waiver requests can only be submitted once each term.
You can submit one waiver request every term starting on the following dates:
- Summer 2016: March 1, 2016
What information is required to complete the waiver application?
You will need your insurance identification card as well as your current coverage information.
I do not have all the information to complete the waiver application. What should I do?
Refer to your current insurance Evidence of Coverage booklet. This booklet is provided by your insurance company and describes all of your benefits and the limitations of those benefits. If you cannot find your booklet, you may find it on the insurance company's website, or by calling your insurance provider.
How will I know if my waiver application has been approved or denied?
Your online submission will produce an instantaneous response. The last screen of the waiver application process will provide you with approval or denial information. You should save or print this screen for you records. You will also receive an e-mail with the decision.
If my waiver application is denied, what can I do?
If your waiver application is denied because your private insurance coverage is not sufficient, you will receive an instantaneous response that allows you to complete an online waiver appeal. Appeal applications must be received within five (5) business days of the date of denial. Appeals for denied waiver applications are accepted only for the current term. Retroactive appeals are not accepted. Please know that waiver requests can only be submitted once each term.
How does student insurance get billed to my student account?
The Student Health Insurance Plan is billed on a term-by-term basis. You will be required to pay for the insurance plan when you pay for tuition.
I will be taking a vacation term and will not be registered for any units during the upcoming term. Am I still eligible for insurance and if so how do I enroll in student health insurance? Do I need to waive out if I do not want coverage during my vacation term?
You are still eligible for GGU student health insurance during a vacation term. However, if you will not be enrolled in any units during your vacation term, you will not be automatically enrolled in the insurance plan during this term. To enroll in the health insurance during your vacation term, contact your International Advisor.
No action is necessary for vacation term students who do not want coverage through GGU's student health insurance plan during their term off, and who will be taking no classes during this time. However, if you plan on taking any classes during your vacation term, you will be automatically enrolled in the insurance plan unless you complete a waiver application and it is approved. If you have any questions about this, please contact your international advisor.
When can I enroll in the plan?
Unless you waive out of the plan, you will be automatically enrolled when you register for courses and your student account will be charged.
What are the coverage dates?
All Programs Spring 2016: January 1 - April 30 Summer 2016: May 1 - August 31
When will I receive my Kaiser ID card?
Identification (ID) cards will be sent out to the local address you have in your GGU4YOU account sometime between the fourth and the sixth week of the term. If you do not have a local address, your ID card will be mailed to the Graduate Advising Center. We will notify you if your card is ready for pick up at our office. If you need care before you have received your ID card, call Kaiser's Member Service Call Center at 1-800-464-4000, press the option for Member Services, and explain that you are a new student on GGU's plan and would like to know your Medical Record Number (MRN).
Is dental coverage included in the Kaiser Student Health Insurance Plan?
No, dental coverage is not included. You may view various, non GGU affiliated, options available through the student insurance division at Wells Fargo Insurance Services or discount plans through Delta Dental.
Is vision coverage included in the Kaiser Student Health Insurance Plan?
Yes, the plan covers vision exams for no charge. Kaiser Permanente members are also eligible for a 20% discount on eyeglasses and contact lenses purchased at Kaiser Permanente Optical Centers.
Are my dependents covered under the Kaiser Student Health Insurance Plan?
Coverage for your spouse and child(ren) is available for an additional fee. Please see the current health insurance brochure for fees and information. Dependents can be enrolled on a term basis from the date the student is enrolled in the plan or within 31 days of one of the following qualifying events: marriage, birth, adoption, or arrival in the U.S. To enroll a dependent, contact Wells Fargo Insurance Services by phone at 800-853-5899.
A newborn will automatically be covered for Injury or Sickness during the month of birth, or the mother's hospitalization if she is a Kaiser member, whichever is later. Coverage may be continued for that child when Wells Fargo Insurance Services is notified in writing within 31 days from the date of birth and by payment of any additional premium.
Will I be covered during OPT?
No. GGU's Insurance plan is only available to students during completion of your GGU program. After you graduate and your coverage ends for the term in which you graduate, you will need to purchase outside insurance coverage.
After I graduate, what options do I have for insurance coverage?You can continue your coverage with Kaiser Permanente, but the plan will not be associated with Golden Gate University. There are a variety of plans to choose from and your premium will be based on your age and individual need. You may contact Kaiser at 800-464-4000, or visit their website to continue your enrollment after graduation and to learn more.
How do I find a Kaiser Permanente primary care physician or facility?
You can find a doctor by visiting www.kp.org where you can search by name, location or facility.
What if I have an emergency and cannot get to a Kaiser Permanente facility in time? Will I be covered if I receive medical care at another hospital emergency facility?
If you have an emergency medical condition, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital. When you have an emergency medical condition, Kaiser Permanente will cover emergency care anywhere in the world.
Does Kaiser Permanente have prescription coverage under this plan?
Yes, prescriptions are covered with a co-pay of $10 for generic and $30 for brand-name drugs.
If I need to see a specialist within Kaiser Permanente, what are my options?
You would have to obtain a referral from your primary care physician to see a specialist.
Health Insurance Brochures & Handouts
Whom do I call if I have a question?
If you have any questions about the Kaiser Student Health Insurance Plan, please contact the Graduate Advising Center at email@example.com or 415-442-7800, or contact your individual advisor.
You may also contact Wells Fargo Insurance Services by phone at 1-800-853-5899 if you have questions about eligibility or would like to enroll a dependent in the plan.
If you have claims or benefit questions, please contact Kaiser Permanente at 1-800-464-4000 or visit www.kp.org.
Co-payA fixed fee that you pay out of pocket at the time a medical service is rendered (e.g. visiting the doctor, obtaining prescription medicine). The insurance company pays the remaining costs.
Co-insuranceSimilar to co-pay in that co-insurance represents a shared cost between you and the insurer for a service rendered. With co-insurance, however, the amount each party pays is not a fixed fee, but rather, is a percentage of the total cost of the service. GGU's Kaiser plan mostly uses co-pays, but there are a few services that use co-insurance. One example is outpatient surgery, for which you would pay 20% co-insurance (after the deductible).
Annual Deductible
A deductible is a specific amount of covered medical expenses that you must incur and pay for out of pocket within one calendar-year before benefits are payable under the health insurance plan. The Kaiser Student Health Insurance Plan has an annual deductible of $500.
An example: Through GGU's plan, there is a $150 co-pay for ambulance services, after the deductible. This means that if you are transported by ambulance on January 1, 2015, and an ambulance ride costs $800, you will pay $650: $500 for the annual deductible, plus the $150 co-pay. If you need to be transported by ambulance again in 2015 (we hope not!), you will just pay the $150 co-pay this time, since you will have already paid the full deductible.
Please note that the deductible is waived for many services through GGU's international student insurance, such as preventative care, immunizations, and prescriptions.
Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum
This is the maximum amount that you will pay for medical expenses in a plan year.
Maximum Lifetime Coverage
Some plans limit the total amount of money they will pay for your medical expenses during your lifetime. This will be listed in your insurance plan description as a "lifetime maximum" or a "maximum lifetime benefit" or "maximum benefit per condition."
Per Condition Maximum Benefit
This is the maximum amount an insurance plan will pay for a specific medical condition.
Emergency Care
Emergency care is generally provided through hospital emergency room services of local hospitals.
Urgent Care
If you have a medical issue that needs immediate attention but is not life-threatening, such as a cold, moderate fever, or infection, you can visit Kaiser's Adult Urgent Care on the 3rd floor of Kaiser's 2238 Geary Blvd. building, or try to schedule a same-day appointment with your primary care doctor through www.kp.org.
Preventative Care
This includes annual exams with your primary care physician, gynecological exams, mammograms, immunizations, and well-child visits.
Medical Evacuation and Repatriation
These are benefits that are designed to aid international students under extreme medical circumstances. If a student is unable to continue an academic program due to a covered injury or sickness, this provides coverage for the student's transportation back to his/her home country. In the event of the death of an insured student, this covers preparation and transportation of remains back to his/her home country. GGU's student health insurance plan contains both medical evacuation and repatriation benefits through On Call International.
If you have purchased outside insurance coverage and are completing a waiver, please refer to your Explanation of Coverage booklet or policy for information regarding the terms of your coverage.

The Faded Glory - Women's Safia Wedge Braided Sandals are really nice.
They fit perfect, and they will go wonderfully with many of my spring/summer
clothes. I had searched for a white sandal on many different websites, and
I am so fortunate that I came upon this sandal on the Walmart website. It
is exactly what I was looking for, and the online order was handled in a
timely manner. I am very pleased with this sandal and the help of all
at Walmart. Thank you so much.
Great product. Delivery as promised
I ordered this shoe in white and in a size 11 went I got it I was so disappointed. The shoe was in a size 9 major mistake. And the quality was ok but I guess it did fit the price. I am a big fan of the wedge style shoes. So they went back and I did not order another pair.
These shoes are a bit tight and narrow for me (size 10 wide) but I can still wear them and they are very pretty.

I have a 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback with a 1.6 liter v-tech. The other day I was driving to work in the rain (there were deep puddles on the road). Suddenly, my check engine light came on and I lost power, not completely, it just bogged out. The check engine light shut off and I got power back. I made it to work and after I left work, my check engine light turned back on and I lost power again. Since then, it will start up first thing in the morning, it drives but there is no power. It won't go above 2,500 rpm. It eventually dies and won't start again until the next day. I don't have the plastic motor cover on the bottom of the car. Is there something that could have gotten water in it? My friend tested the distributor and it's fine, but my other friend said it isn't getting adequate spark. My catalytic converter went out and was plugged up, and I thought that might be the issue. I can't afford another one for a couple more weeks so I hallowed it out. That didn't do it. Any ideas?

Splashed water up into the engine compartment can cause issues with the wires or the distributor. Start the car (if possible) at night in the dark while looking under the hood. Check for a light show (blue arcing) from the spark plug wires. If there is, these need changed and is most likely the problem. Secondly, pull the distributor cap and spray the inside of it with WD-40. While WD-40 is used as a lubricant, it's original purpose was as a cleaner on air craft surfaces. Part of the protection of it is as water displacement, thus the name (WD = Water Displacement). It works good in distributors to keep water out and misfires to a minimum. If this helps clear things up, the distributor cap/rotor should be replaced. If this does not help, you will need to check your coil to ensure it is working correctly. I found an excellent diagnostic site to show the tests for all of this. It is too extensive to copy onto here, but should answer all your questions how how to test the entire system from wires to coil and everything in between.
If I were you I would try the main relay and the fuel pump relay next. My Honda accord had the same symptoms until I replaced those two relays.

Just another idea. You said you went thru a large water puddle and then problems started? Where is your engine air intake. Many newer engines(after 1990) esp. have an air intake that is routed to the area behind the front bumper. In a high water situation water can be drawn into the engine. It is possible that happened fouling one of several sensors controlling air/fuel mixture.

You can remove menu icons by dragging them out of the menubar while holding the ⌘-key. This behavior does not work with icons from third party applications (e.g. Dropbox, Growl...).
There is no supported way to do this.

This has changed a little with 10.7 and you'll want to note that this uses IPv6 almost entirely so test with ping6 and traceroute6 to debug things. It's no longer done via @computername.mobilemename.members.mac.com, it's now done via members.btmm.icloud.com, and its no longer as simple as your mobilemename. Step 1: Find out your iCloud BTMM domain Either ...
It's basically not possible to make a new MobileMe account while the transition to iCloud is happening. There are some loopholes (like adding a new account under an existing Family account) - but most will have to wait until iCloud is released. The official word on that is a vague - in the fall of 2011. From the Apple preview page covering Contacts, ...
Definitive answer on this is now at Apple's KB as of 15 Jan 2015 Extract: If you created an iCloud account on or after September 19, 2012, your email address ends with @icloud.com. Learn more about @icloud.com mail addresses. If you created an iCloud account before September 19, 2012, or moved to iCloud with an active MobileMe account before August ...
No need to suppose, that just happend to me (somewhat). Preventive measures As of today, suppose you have an iPhone 4, iPad or new iPod Touch running iOS 4 and you had previously activated the free MobileMe "lost my iphone". Then you're in the best situation of all. Suppose you don't have any of the new iDevices, but still are on iOS 4 and want to activate ...
At iCloud.com you can see your mail, calendar, etc :)
You will still be able to access the mobile me website and files making the website through June 30th, but iCloud does not offer web hosting or internet-based disk storage. After June 30th you will need to find a different web hosting service. Longer version here: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
MobileMe Gallery App is now an universal app.
Yes. You will have to opt in to switch your account over, but it sounds like it will be fairly painless as long as you agree to all the new (unannounced as of yet) license terms. From the Apple FAQ on the MobileMe/iCloud transition: Will I be able to keep my MobileMe email address when I move to iCloud? Yes. If you have an active MobileMe account ...
Nope. Getting a mobileMe/iCloud email address is handled by Apple from their side. They are no longer supplying @me.com email addresses. Now just go to icloud.com.
MobileMe Gallery App for iPhone, iPod, and iPad
I don't really have a direct answer for you, but I would like to help by sharing what I know. I have a Mobile Me account, and there are no tools for editing your photos online. It's an image gallery. A gallery is meant just for viewing and not for editing. Mobile Me was designed to work in conjunction with the iLife software on a desktop mac. You edit the ...
Backup is used by the MobileMe Backup application. I don't recommend using it. Groups is for a now defunct Groups feature that they used to have. Library is used for MobileMe's syncing feature - primarily for Preferences and Bookmarks. Sites is used for webpages or anything you want shared at http://homepage.mac.com/username/. Note: PHP files, CGI ...
As I have attempted to do this myself, Im pretty sure you cant combine the two. You can try contacting Apple Support but they will probably tell you the same thing. Apple doesn't allow you merge AppleIDs or in other words use a mobileme AppleID for an iTunes account AppleID ( AppleIDs are just the username/email address I think). This sounds reasonable ...
You can actually just go into the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" section of your system preferences on your Mac. Click the add account option on the left and then click the iCloud option on the right, it will give you the option to generate a new apple ID account with an option to make it a free @me.com account.
I found the answer: log out of MobileMe in the System Prefs panel, and then the iCloud panel will prompt you to log in (instead of offering the "Move to iCloud" button). Log in with your iCloud account and you should be all set. Worked perfectly for me.
Here is a fantastic article on moving to iCloud. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4918 And, yes, you can keep your current @me.com address. Instead of being associated with MobileMe, @me.com email addresses are now iCloud (and MobileMe user will be migrated over), so the email address that comes with iCloud is @me.com. Again, I believe you are able to keep ...
The service is only free to users of the iPhone 4, and if I recall correctly users of the iPad. It's a feature that's part of MobileMe, but now it's also free on every iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.* From the Apple Website, bold mine To use this functionality on any other device requires a full MobileMe subscription. It is automatically active once you have ...
If you mean this icon: You must run iSync (by QuickSilver or Spotlight خق go into /Applications and double-click iSync) then uncheck "Show status in menu bar".
If you go into Preferences, Accounts, select your account, then select the "Mailbox Behaviors" tab, there's an option to disable saving drafts on the server. I know you said you didn't want to disable saving of drafts, but this option will still save the draft on your computer, yet it won't mess up Mobile Me.
I read a few articles on the underpinning of Back To My Mac and supposedly some people have effectively connected via ssh, check out the discussion contained in this Macworld post. The best post in the thread is as follows: Use the following format for connecting as a differnent username: ssh email@example.com. If ...
You can ssh to your machine which has "Bac to my Mac" enabled like this: ssh -p 22 email@example.com
Steve Jobs mentions in WWDC 2011, that "We'll give you a me.com email address," when speaking about iCloud. So - if your question was in reference to whether the @me.com addresses will disappear with the coming of the iCloud service, no, I don't think so.
iOS 5 and iCloud should be coming out tomorrow. There should be improvements in this area. Hopefully this will help you. I know it is not what you would want to hear, but I have seen disappearing content like you describe. Especially with Exchange, and OS 10.6.x
This article from Apple Support answers some commonly-asked questions related to the Mobile Me to iCloud transition. This article from Apple Support explains how to move to iCloud. From this article we read the following: Inactive and expired MobileMe accounts do not need to move to iCloud. Simply use your inactive or expired account to sign up for an ...
The reason they both still exist is because they are still separate services being offered by Apple. Users of MobileMe prior to the announcement of iCloud paid a yearly subscription fee for the service. Rather than refund those customers, Apple will continue to offer the MobileMe services only to those subscribers who have an active subscription. MobileMe ...
Depends what calendar you're adding the events to. In the Calendar app, in the top left, there is a Calendars button which lists all the calendars on the phone. You should hopefully see your MobileMe calendars in there, labelled as such in their own section. The theory goes that you should see any events on MobileMe that you've added to the calendars listed ...
Not with MobileMe's built in sync function, it only works with Safari. You could use Opera's Link, which might work ok for what you're after - Can I use other browsers to access my bookmarks? Yes, you can log into a web-based user interface using Opera browsers, including Opera for Mac/PC, Opera Mobile or Opera Mini. You can also access your ...
Yes a family pack allows you to create 4 additional usernames that have all the features of the main account, the only difference being that they are limited to 5gb of storage. I upgraded to a family pack and used one of the 4 additional accounts for my girlfriend so she could use Find My iPhone (before it was free with an AppleID) she can also sync her ...

Travelling in "Dong Country" - the border region of Guangxi and Guizhou provinces in China. Most of the people living in this region are of the Dong minority, some of the friendliest people in China.
This is the village of Zhaoxing. It is the biggest Dong village, and one of the most beatiful places in the whole of China.
Traditional wooden houses turn the village into a truly atmospheric place
Unfortunately, bad weather marred the quality of the picture - but one can still notice the beatiful location of Zhaoxing, right on the valley floor
Another Dong village. situated on the mountain and overlooking Zhaoxing
Rice paddies at the entrance to Zhaoxing
A Drum Tower. There are 5 Drum Towers in Zhaoxing - I believe it's one for each clan
Being the biggest Dong settlement, Zhaoxing is a centre for many Dong people "coming to town" for shopping and other arrangements
Getting ready for a fiesta
Celebrating the birth of a new baby
Walking arounnd Zhaoxing, one could see the local people still going in their old traditional ways. Such scenens were already absent from more touristy villages in China (Lijiang in Yunnan Province being a prominent example)
The Dong people still wear their traditional custom. After dying their clothes, they are left out in the sun to dry.
A villager going back to his home
There are many beatiful walks around Zhaoxing, this one is up into the mountains to the village of Jitan
Entrance to the village.
Every Dong village has at least one Drum Tower, with Jitang not being an exception
a look at the mountain range
Dong people coming back from their fields
Back in Zhaoxing
The walk from Zhaoxing to the village uf Upper Diping was especially beautiful, and took the whole day
Getting closer to Upper Diping. There are rice fields at the entrance to the village
A look at Upper Dipping
And a look at the surrounding mountains
A small canyon
And a pretty lake nestled in the mountains
A mountain range on the way back to Zhaoxing. It was a truly breathtaking view
This is already in the Miao village of Basha
The women wear traditional Miao clothes
While the man, even the boys, cut their hair in this peculiar way
Just like most minority villages in Guizhou Province, Basha is also spread out on the mountain range
Beatiful wooden houses
Getting ready to a fiesta
A Miao person, with rice terraces in the background
This is already Zengchong, a beatiful and well-preserved Dong village
This is the oldest Drum Tower in China, more than 300 years old
The village is totally untouristy, making it a very authentic place
There were a few hundred-years-old stone houses among the many wooden ones
A truly beatiful place... Notice how the village is surrounded by the stream from 3 sides
This is the village of Xijiang - -the largest Miao vilage in China
A big place, but nevertheless a picturesque one
moving out of the mountains, one is leaving the friendly Miao and Dong people behind...

Seven Utah companies listed on Inc. magazine's 500 fastest-growing private companies
NEW YORK CITY — Seven Utah businesses rank among the nation's top 500 fastest-growing private companies this year, according to Inc. magazine.
The rankings appeared in the publication's Inc. 500|5000 list, released last week, which included nearly 80 more Utah-based companies in its top 5,000.
VIP International was the highest-ranked Utah business, coming in at No. 115 overall and No. 12 in consumer products and services. The garden decor importer and wholesaler headquartered in Lehi has grown 2,364 percent over the last three years.
Though it sells nonessential products in a struggling economy, VIP International has succeeded and grown largely by revamping its products and their design, and by finding the right price points for its merchandise, said company president Mark Tuttle.
"Nothing we sell is actually a necessity of life," he said. "We have the right products at the right prices and it just seems to work."
Since its inception as a three-person operation in 2006, VIP International has branched out into retail, operating multiple stores in Utah and Nevada, and acquired another company.
"We're still growing every year," Tuttle said. "Our future is bright and we're plugging along."
While this was VIP International's first time making the list, Layton's Real Property Management, Lendio of South Jordan and Salt Lake City's Neutron Interactive made the top 500 for the second year in a row.
"Being named to the list two years in a row is extremely satisfying," Lendio CEO Brock Blake said in a press release. "There are a lot of great companies around the country mentioned in the list this year; it's an honor to be part of it."
Formerly known as FundingUniverse, Lendio is a finance company that helps small businesses find funding. The company recently rolled out a technology that pairs small-business owners with lenders and loans, renamed itself and launched a new website.
"These are big changes that will help more businesses find the capital they need —capital that will help them hire more people and grow their business to have similar success as we've had in the last few years," Blake said.
Several of Utah's Inc. 500 companies are among the fastest growing in their respective industries. In addition to VIP International, Real Property Management ranked No. 7 nationally in real estate, IntegraCore was No. 9 in logistics and transportation and Lendio came in at No. 19 in financial services.
All the companies on the Inc. 500|5000 list were ranked according to their percentage revenue growth over the last three years. To qualify, companies had to be U.S.-based, for-profit, independent and privately owned as of Dec. 31, 2010.
Here is the list of Utah companies on Inc. magazine's top 5,000 list:
115. VIP International, Lehi
257. Real Property Management, Layton
309. Lendio, South Jordan
313. Neutron Interactive, Salt Lake City
360. OrangeSoda, American Fork
458. One on One Marketing, Lehi
466. IntegraCore, West Jordan
586. Property Solutions, Provo
639. DigiCert, Lindon
795. BidSync, American Fork
860. AvantLink.com Park City
870. Skullcandy, Park City
880. eGlobal, Kaysville
