Porter: School district should be OK
The uncertainty of next year's budget for Brady Public Schools is finally coming into focus for superintendent Bill Porter.
LB235, which sets the total aid for schools across the state, was signed by Gov. Dave Hieneman last week after passing quickly through the Legislature in late April.
The fact that Heineman allowed the bill to sit on his desk for four business days before signing it left Porter a bit uneasy but now that it's official, he said he's relieved.
"As things sit right now, we should be OK," Porter said, explaining that he won't breathe easy until the certification of state aid is finalized.
LB235 sets the total aid package at $822 million for this year, and reduces state aid approximately $410 million for districts across the state over the next two-year budget period.
For Brady, that means a drop in state aid of roughly $151,000.
If that's what the final figure ends up being when certification is complete, Porter is confident the district will not see drastic changes.
In April, school board members approved reduction in force notices for five teachers with a total of nine hours cut from industrial tech, family and consumer science, physical education, art and music.
"We did that as a precaution," Porter said, "just in case things in Lincoln got worse."

Coupled and Competing Instabilities in Complex Oxides

Coordinated in:Switzerland
Call for proposal:ERC-2011-ADG_20110209See other projects for this call
Funding scheme:ERC-AG - ERC Advanced Grant
"The CCICO project will build a comprehensive understanding of how proximity to previously unexplored combinations of instabilities, as well as previously unidentified types of ordering, manifest in novel behaviors, and will develop design guidelines for practical realization of new materials with such behaviors. Taking transition-metal oxides as our model systems, we will develop and apply first-principles electronic structure theory methods to explore an extensive array of new combinations of orderings, with a focus on interactions between the electronic -- Jahn-Teller, orbital and charge -- and structural -- rotations, ferroelectric and other distortions -- degrees of freedom. Our goal is to spawn a new field of study based on a novel combination of orderings in the same way that the field of multiferroics was jump-started ten years ago by our work understanding the coexistence of ferroelectricity and magnetism. Conversely, we will apply the computational tools developed in our history of studying multiferroics, particularly descriptions of proximity to structural and magnetic phase transitions, to characterizing observed behaviors such as exotic superconductivity in existing materials. In the process we will search for and characterize elusive or poorly characterized forms of order in solids, with a focus on ferrotoroidicity and emergent local dipoles. A final application is to create designer materials for solid-state experiments relevant to high-energy physics and cosmology. Promising compounds that are amenable to bulk synthesis will be made in our new oxide single-crystal growth laboratory; materials that require thin-film routes will be pursued in collaboration with colleagues."

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to contact lenses, more particularly to contact lenses for the correction of astigmatism. Specifically, the invention relates to a contact lens having a central optical zone which has been hardened by selectively surface treating a lens.
2. Background Technology
Astigmatism is a defect of an optical system (such as the eye) in consequence of which rays of light emanating from a point fail to meet in a focal point after passing through the optical system, resulting in a blurred and imperfect image. In the eye, this is usually the result of a mis-shaped (or toric) cornea.
Correction of astigmatism has been accomplished in the past through the use of a toric contact lens. Both rigid and soft contact lens materials have been used for making such toric lenses.
In the rigid lens category, a toric back surface corneal contact lens was originally (and principally) used to accomodate a toric cornea; not to correct astigmatic refractive error. It has been found possible to correct astigmatism by orientation of the meridional properties of a lens to properly orient its cylinder. For example, a bitoric corneal contact lens employs an additional toric surface on the front of the lens, thereby assuring proper fit by the base curve's toricity and correcting the astigmatism through the optical properties of the front curve's toricity.
Soft or hydrogel lenses have also been designed to correct astigmatism. Due to the flexibility of the lens material, these lenses tend to conform (although not perfectly) to the shape of the cornea on which they are worn. Introduction of a toric curve on the front or the base surface of a lens (but not on both surfaces) has been successful, since the entire lens assumes the cornea's shape, leaving the single surface's toricity to coact with such assumed shape, providing the functional equivalent of a rigid bitoric lens.
Both in the rigid and soft toric lenses of the past, rotational stability was required in order to maintain the orientation of the lens' cylinder vis a vis the cornea. Thus, a variety of lens orientation techniques have been developed. These include prism ballast (a thickened base portion), single and double truncations (removal of a segment at the apex or ballast of the lens), and slab-off (selective reduction of edge thickness).
While the above-described lenses have enjoyed a certain amount of success, they have also suffered from a number of deficiencies. Providing two powers on the optical curve and coordinating those powers with the rotational stabilizing means has made such lenses very difficult and expensive to manufacture, often resulting in very low yields. Another problem with prior toric corneal lenses is discomfort. This is usually due to the thickness of the lens (the lenses have to be made thicker to accomodate the mis-shaped cornea and to incorporate prism for rotational stability).
Another technique for treating astigmatism with contact lenses is the combination "hard/soft" concept. This attempts to combine the comfort benefits of a soft lens with the shape retaining characteristics of a rigid lens. Thus, the optical zone of the lens is formed of a hard material approximating the shape of a "perfect" cornea on the base curve. The tear layer entrapped between the lens and the cornea serves as a refracting medium having the shape defined by the base curve, thereby correcting the astigmatic error of the mis-shaped cornea below. At the same time, the softer, thinner periphery of the lens conforms to the cornea and supports the optical zone in position, resulting in greater comfort for the wearer. The front curve of the lens can also be selected to correct for other refractive errors. A principal advantage of these lenses is that they do not require the rotational stabilizing means described above. Improved user comfort is another significant advantage.
Some multi-stage processes for preparing "hard/soft" corneal contact lenses are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,489,491 (Creighton); 3,619,044 (Kamath); 3,944,347 (Barkdoll et al.); and 4,093,361 (Erickson et al.).
The "hard/soft" lens, like the toric lenses described above, suffers from certain disadvantages. These disadvantages arise primarily in the manufacture of the lens. It is very difficult to fuse the two materials together to give a lens without unacceptable boundaries. Even when the fusion process is successful, these lenses are still difficult and expensive to manufacture. Also, the known techniques for making "hard/soft" lenses are not adaptable to the manufacture of a molded lens. In addition to these manufacturing disadvantages, the center thickness of such lenses has been noted as a cause of discomfort, and therefore, another disadvantage.
For a more detailed description of astigmatism and the corneal contact lenses which have been used for its correction, see Contact Lens Practice, Third Edition, by Robert B. Mandell, O.D., Ph.D. (Published by Charles C. Thomas, 1981).
3. Aspects of the Invention
In one aspect, the present invention provides a corneal contact lens for the correction of astigmatism, such lens being thinner than prior astigmatism-correcting lenses for increased comfort and oxygen transmission in the eye of its wearer.
In another aspect, the invention provides a comfortable corneal contact lens for the correction of astigmatism, which lens is easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
Still another aspect of the invention provides a method of treating a soft corneal contact lens replica to give additional rigidity characteristics to a central portion thereof, so that it can be used to correct astigmatism.
Yet another aspect of the invention provides a non-fused contact lens without any rotational stabilizing means, for the correction of astigmatism.
A "hard/soft" corneal contact lens, made from a single polymeric material, has a central optical zone of increased rigidity. This rigidity is provided by treating a portion of a surface of the lens, e.g. the portion corresponding to the optical zone.
One lens embodiment of the present invention can be prepared by contacting at least a portion of the anterior and/or posterior surface of a contact lens replica with a crosslinking agent, followed by exposure to a controlled source of polymerizing energy, e.g. on only the portion of the replica corresponding to the portion of the lens in which additional rigidity is desired.
Another lens embodiment of the present invention is prepared by treating a soft contact lens replica with an esterifying agent for a sufficient period of time to modify at least a portion of polymer molecules on an outer surface of the replica, e.g. by esterifying hydroxyl groups on the polymer molecules. A similar treatment can be effected on polymers having surface acid groups, by first converting the acid to a halide (e.g. a chloride) and then proceeding with the esterification as described. The portion of the outer surface on which the treatment is performed can be selected by masking an annular portion of the anterior, posterior or both surfaces of the contact lens replica, before exposing it to the esterification process.
In one embodiment of the present invention, a contact lens replica is contacted with a crosslinking agent. Then, only that portion of the replica corresponding to the portion of the lens in which additional rigidity is desired is exposed to a source of polymerizing energy, such as radiation or heat. This can be accomplished by using focusing means (such as a diaphragm, lens and/or shutter in conjunction with the radiation source) or by masking the crosslinker-treated replica's surface(s) before exposing the replica to the source of polymerization energy. For example, the support which holds the lens for exposure to the radiation source can serve as a mask. A spot heat probe can be used for thermally initiated polymerization, or, a portion of the replica can be masked with a heat shield. Alternatively, the crosslinking agent or a polymerization initiator can be selectively applied to a portion of the surface of the replica, e.g. by using a mask or by controlled application (such as brushing) of the solution onto the replica's surface. Post-treatment may be required to extract from the surface any crosslinker which has not polymerized.
Suitable contact lens materials include any commonly used crosslinkable soft lens polymer or copolymer, for example: hydroxyethyl methacrylate, glycerl methacrylate, and crofilcon A.
Suitable crosslinking agents include, for example: tetraethyleneglycoldimethacrylate ("TEGDMA"), ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate ("EGDMA"), bis(Methacryloxypropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane ("MADTMS Dimer"), and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate ("TMPTMA").
Suitable polymerization initiators include, for example: benzoin methyl ether ("BME"), 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile ("AIBN"), isopropylperoxydicarbonate ("IPP"), methyl ethyl ketone peroxides ("Lupersol DDM-9"), and t-Butylperoxy pivalate ("TBPP").
The time of exposure to the polymerization energy source can vary depending on the source chosen and the degree of crosslinking desired. Also, as described above, a suitable media can be chosen to govern the extent to which the crosslinking agent penetrates the polymer surface of the replica.
Radiation dosages (to be used in conjunction with typical UV initiator sources) range from 0.01 mW/cm2, at temperatures from ambient to about 70�, for a time period ranging from 5 minutes to 3 hours. Thermal polymerization temperatures range from 30� C. to 70� C., for a time period ranging from 5 hours to 24 hours. When using AIBN as an initiator, a combination of both UV and thermal polymerization can be used.
In general, any polymer which contains a hydroxyl group capable of reacting with an appropriate functional group of the esterifying agent (as defined hereinafter) may be successfully treated in accordance with this embodiment of the invention. Since the acrylic polymers which contain hydroxyl ester groups currently enjoy the most widespread commercial acceptance, specific reference will be made to these acrylic esters in the description of the invention which follows.
To effect the desired modification of the polymer, an esterifying agent is used in a presently preferred embodiment of the invention. Suitable such compounds include organic acids and acid anhydrides, preferably containing no other functional group, and preferably where the organic (non-carboxyl) moiety is C1 -C8 alkyl (including cycloalkyl), halogen-substituted C1 -C8 alkyl, or silicone-substituted C1 -C8 alkyl. Presently particularly preferred compounds include acetic anhydride, trimethyl anhydride, and trifluoroacetic anhydride.
The esterification preferably takes place in the presence of a mild base such as pyridine, N,N-dimethylaminopyridine, pyrrolidylpyridine, or tertiary amines such as trimethylamine or triethylamine.
The esterification is preferbly carried out in the presence of a suitable medium for the esterifying agent, e.g. a diluent, which forms a solution with the esterifying agent and the base (if present), and which does not adversely affect the lens material. Typical of the suitable media include aprotic solvents such as aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene or toluene) and halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. CCl4 or CHCl3). The diluent should not cause significant swelling (solvation) of the xerogel structure, as this could lead to reaction throughout the lens material. For example, alcohols are unlikely to be suitable media; water is not a suitable medium.
Alternatively, the medium may be chosen to cause some slight swelling of the surface regions of the xerogel structure, if a deeper penetration of the esterifying agent into the lens (i.e. deeper modification of the lens) is desired. This may provide for a more even overall modification of the surface. Suitable media which cause slight swelling include, e.g. N,N-dimethylacetamide and methyl pyrrolidone.
The esterifying agent will typically be present in between 10 and 30% (e.g. about 20%) by volume with respect to the diluent, and the base will typically be present in between 1 and 5% (e.g. about 2%) by volume with respect to the solvent. A typical solution, then, could contain 100 parts of toluene, 20 parts of acetic anhydride, and 2 parts of pyridine (all in parts by volume).
As described above, one process of this invention involves contacting a contact lens replica with any one of the aforesaid esterifying agents for a sufficient period of time to effect the desired modification of the polymer. To carry out the process, the contact lens replica (in the xerogel state) is masked to leave exposed only that portion of its surface(s) on which treatment is desired. For example, this can be accomplished by providing an opening in a carrier used to hold the replica when exposing it to the treatment, e.g. a clamping fixture with a silicone rubber gasket. Alternatively, the portion(s) of the surfaces on which treatment is not desired can be covered with a protective layer of pitch, wax, or another polymer (e.g. a hydrolyzable polymer) which can later be removed without adversely affecting the surface portion which it protected. The mask should preferably be resistant to the esterifying solution.
The masked replica is then immersed in the selected esterifying compound or a solution thereof, at a temperature ranging generally from about 0� to about 70� C., and maintained therein for a time period ranging from about 5 minutes to about 3 hours. It is to be understood, of course, that for any particular modifying treatment the most satisfactory reaction time will generally be inversely proportional to the temperature, i.e. the time required to effect the modification typically will be shorter as the reaction temperature is increased. Particularly satisfactory results are obtained employing reaction temperatures of 25�-50� C. for 20-60 minutes.
While not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the treatment is presently believed to be effected by modification of the polymer material by esterification of the hydroxyl groups at or near the surface of the lens or replica by the reagent. Treatment by use of the reagent is also believed to facilitate removal of organic-type impurities (residual monomers and diluents, low molecular weight polymers, solvents used in edging and polishing such as silicone oils, contaminants from lens molds, etc.) from the lens. The reaction of the treating reagent with any water which may be present in the material improves penetration of cleaning solvents (typically hydrophobic) into the material, and thus enhances their effectiveness.
Upon completion of the modification, the treated replica is removed from the esterifying agent, rinsed well, for example with freon or a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent. The masking can be removed from the replica, either before or after this rinsing, for example by machining on a lathe or by exposure to a suitable chemical agent (e.g. by hydrolysis of the hydrolyzable polymer mask).
The replica is then treated much as an unmodified lens, i.e. boiled in water for about 2 hours to hydrate it and remove residual water-soluble materials present in the lens. The lens may then be soaked in a suitable medium, e.g. water or physiological saline solution for further leaching if desired.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of this invention, the following specific examples are given. These examples are intended merely to illustrate the invention and are not to be construed in a limiting sense. All percentages, proportions, and quantities given in these examples are by weight, unless otherwise indicated.
A finished, xerogel replica of crofilcon A in the 13.8 mm diameter design is clamped in a fixture, masking all but the central 8 mm optical zone. The masking is performed by using a clamp and a silicone rubber gasket. The lens was treated by filling the mask fixture on the base curve side of the lens with a crosslinking solution of:
50% (w/w) methyl methacrylate
47% (w/w) ethylene glycol dimethacrylate
3% (w/w) benzoin methyl ether
The solution is allowed to stand in the fixture for 20 minutes and the masking fixture is then removed from the lens. The lens is then rinsed in TF Freon and allowed to air dry for 1 minute. The lens is then placed in a UV chamber with a dosage of 4.5 mW/cm2 and irradiated for 30 minutes. The lens is then removed, placed in water for 15 minutes for hydration, and extracted in a 90/10 water/methanol reflux for 2 hours. After extraction, the lenses are placed in water for 1 hour, and equilibrated in physiological saline for 2 hours.

Skip to comments.Attorney: Wal-Mart Collected On Deaths [Life Insurance Policies on People Without Telling Them]
Posted on 07/03/2007 8:28:15 AM PDT by Excuse_My_Bellicosity
TAMPA - When Karen Armatrout died in 1997, her employer, Wal-Mart, collected thousands of dollars on a life insurance policy the retail giant had taken out without telling her, according to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court.
Armatrout was one of about 350,000 employees Wal-Mart secretly insured nationwide, said Texas attorney Michael D. Myers, who estimated the company collected on 75 to 100 policies involving Florida employees who died.
Myers is seeking to make the Armatrout lawsuit a class-action case on behalf of the estates of all the Florida employees who died while unwittingly insured by Wal-Mart.
"Creepy's a good word for it," Myers said. "If you ask the executives that decided to buy these policies and the insurance companies that sold them, they would say this was designed to create tax benefits for the company, which would use the benefits for benevolent purposes such as buying employee medical benefits.
"If you asked me, I would say they did it to make more money."
Wal-Mart spokesman John Simley said he could not comment because the company has not been served with the lawsuit.
The company settled two lawsuits with employees represented by Myers in Texas and Oklahoma, one for about $10 million and one for about $5 million. He said Karen Armatrout came to his attention when Wal-Mart mistakenly gave her husband's phone number to an Oklahoman who called the retailer inquiring about the settlement.
Myers said he also has filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart in Louisiana.
Payouts Up To $80,000
Richard Armatrout, who is retired, does not want to speak publicly about his case, Myers said. Armatrout did not respond to a message left by the Tribune.
Karen Armatrout was 50 when she died of cancer, said Myers, who said she had worked several years in the pharmacy of the store on West Waters Avenue.
Myers said the policy payouts ranged from $50,000 to $80,000, depending on the person's age and gender. They were taken out on all full-time Wal-Mart employees who, in December 1993, were between ages 18 and 70 and participated in the medical benefits plan.
He said the company stopped taking out the policies in 1995 but continued to receive payouts on employees who died, even those who had left Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart, which said it canceled its policies in early 2000 because it was losing money on the arrangement, says the program was intended to reduce its income taxes to help pay rising employee health care costs. Workers were notified and given the opportunity to opt out, the company said.
The Armatrout lawsuit says the policies were all written in Georgia, where the laws allowed such policies to be obtained.
The lawsuit says Wal-Mart used confidential information it received from employees for use in their employment, such as Social Security numbers and dates of birth, to obtain the life insurance policies.
Myers said this corporate practice is not uncommon. He estimates that up to 25 percent of Fortune 500 companies have taken out such policies on employees. The vast majority of the time, the employees didn't know, Myers said.
The practice evolved over time, Myers said. Corporations started by taking out large life insurance policies on key executives, getting tax breaks when they paid the premiums and collecting the payouts.
IRS Not Pleased, Attorney Says
The amounts of those policies grew to the point that Congress limited how much a company could insure an individual for, Myers said. Insurance companies then suggested buying lots of small policies on companies' work forces, the attorney said. He said the Internal Revenue Service has labeled the practice a sham and has successfully litigated the issue against several corporations.
Myers said his law firm has sued corporations for the practice, including Winn-Dixie and Fina Oil and Chemical. The latest case is its first in Florida.
The practice spread beyond top executives in the 1980s when the industry successfully lobbied states to allow employers to claim an "insurable interest" in the lives of rank-and-file workers.
Many employers seized on the practice because they could borrow against the policies, and the interest paid was tax-deductible. Congress closed that loophole in 1996, but COLI - corporate owned life insurance - remained a popular investment strategy.
The chief appeal was that interest accrues over time on the money in such policies. When a worker dies, the employer collects without paying taxes on the gain.
In 2001, premiums on such policies swelled to $2.8 billion from $1.5 billion the year before, according to a report by CAST Management Consultants of Los Angeles.

well, i am able to get Sara Lee Whole Wheat Bread at Wal-Mart for 1.88... it's 3.27 at SaveMart... and even more at SafeWay... i like Wal-Mart...
If an employer wants to take out a policy on me, I think I should be notified first. And if you don't give a damn - well good for you.
But why? What is the LOGICAL reason for you to be notified first? Forget feelings, give logic. Your employer does all kinds of stuff that might or might not have an effect on you that you will never find out about.
If my employer has an insurance policy out on me, then bully for them.
As long as they're not tainting the coffee it doesn't bother me. :o)
I know.........
Im beginning to see why everybody hates them.
Thanks for letting people know that you've chosen to discredit yourself. If you thought for a half a second you'd realize that of the 180 million Wal-Mart customers most of them don't hate Wal-Mart.
At least one poster on this thread made such an insinuation about WM.
I agree. However, I think these people probably signed something in their hiring process that agreed to this. Who really reads the fine print anyway!
Because Wal-Mart did it. And Wal-Mart is evil because Democrats hate them. Just another cheap shot by the crooked media.
That's my opinion folks, and you're going to have to live with it.
No. You have to live with it. Anyone and everyone may chose to ignore you. You've made it easier for people to do that.
Oh please. Anyone can by a life insurance policy on anyone else. It is done all the time. We have them on all partners in our practice. It costs us money if they die. So what. What is the big deal. What do people think life insurance is for? They also have a policy they pay for for the family. Good Grief.
I save at least fifteen percent on groceries and more on other items. The quality is just fine.
§ 1103.056. PURCHASE OF OR APPLICATION FOR POLICY BY THIRD PARTY. An individual of legal age may in a single written document: (1) consent to the purchase of or application for an individual or group life insurance policy by a third party; and (2) designate or consent to the designation of any individual, partnership, association, corporation, or other legal entity as: (A) a beneficiary of the policy; (B) an absolute or partial owner of the policy; or (C) both a beneficiary and an absolute or partial owner of the policy. Added by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 1419, § 2, eff. June 1, 2003.
I would not care or be concerned unless I worked for an extermination company :)
Yes, Walmart has been secretly 'whacking' employees to collect the life insurance money. TOTAL UNADULTERED KOOK GIBBERISH.
Just because you think someone is out to get you doesn't mean there ISN'T someone out to get you...on the other hand...
"They were taken out on all full-time Wal-Mart employees who, in December 1993, were between ages 18 and 70 and participated in the medical benefits plan. "
"The lawsuit says Wal-Mart used confidential information it received from employees for use in their employment, such as Social Security numbers and dates of birth, to obtain the life insurance policies."
It appears that Wal-Mart had more than just key employees.
The biggest problem I can see if they used their employees SSN without permission to obtain the insurance but this isn't worth a million dollar lawsuit.
I could see a few hundred to a few thousand for misusing the employees SSN.
If they are using your SSN without your knowledge to get the insurance would be one reason I see.
I don't the answer to this question but I will put it out there. If my company has insurance on me and I try to get more insurance on myself, would I pay a higher price for being overinsured?
So what? Unless you are accusing Wal Mart of killing their employees to collect the insurance payouts, why not?
Imagine hiring a guy with key technical skills and then having them run systems or data for years or decades. If that person died, what would it cost to replace, retrain and season their repacement?
It's done everywhere and it's common sense.
Hollywood does it with EVERY contract and EVERY movie for key players. You don't want to be seven months and $120 million into "Mission Impossible 4" when Tom Cruise decides to finally meet Xenu in person ;)
Just like the life insurance I carry to protect my family.
I think once you give your employer your SSN as long as they aren't actually taking out a line of credit in your name they can just use it.
I'm not sure what guidelines insurance companies use to decide you're over insured. IMHO as long as you can afford it why should they even care.
Key employee insurance for employers is nothing new - cant they find something else to complain about?? I know...its Walmart!
This isn't key man coverage ,, I have no problem with that ,,, this is an illegal tax dodge ... they know statistically how many employees are going to die in a year , they know what their corp tax rate is ... they buy policies on everyone , stockboys , cashiers and such at a cost of lets say $500,000,000 and collect $480,000,000 in death benefits ,, this reduces their taxable profits by half a billion and costs them only $20,000,000 ...
But why? What is the LOGICAL reason for you to be notified first? Forget feelings, give logic.
Maybe because the employer is using confidential information such as your date of birth and SS number to commit a felony , a TAX avoidance scam based on insuring 350,000 personnel that ARE NOT key and are easily replaceable, I don't want to be involved in any illegality they perpetrate. The insurers more than likely pull a credit report (or maybe just a score) on the insured as that is now used as a determinant of policy cost along with age and sex.. Don't bring up KeyMan here as others have ,, we're talking about abusing information from your personnel file to hide profits that in the end cost YOU AND ME , individual taxpayers, more on our taxes... There is a reason WMT is losing these lawsuits....
Tax avoidance isn't illegal, in fact if you're into small government tax avoidance is your duty, never give the government $1 more than you absolutely must. WalMart didn't actually lose any of these suits, they settled.
Not to worry, it's all about the weekly hit piece on Wal-Mart.
If they aren't knocking me off to collect on the policy, I'm not sure I'd care.
Ok, I'll bite: let's say your boss walks into your office today and says, "hey, by the way, Keith, we've got a $500,000 insurance policy on you."
How would this effect you at all?
I have no problem with key man ins. ,,, Walmart has no compelling interest in these employees , they are replaceable in a day or two ,,, by hiding profits as a non-taxable insurance event and collecting non-taxable insurance payments they are hiding real profits that are meant to be taxed... if you can't see that you must be blind ...
P.S. Settling IS LOSING ...
More leftists depending on the ignorance of the public to see a scandal where there isn't one.
And no one in the media (except the alternative media) will ever call them on it.
What exactly where these people's jobs at Walmart?
Do you think they take out policies on the 'ol geezer Walmart Greeters? I suppose replacing this person costs money, huh?
They're still their employees, you have a vested interest in all of them, maybe not as much as they were insuring them for but even the lowest man on the totem poll has a replacement cost.
I'm not saying they weren't shunting income to non-taxable streams, I'm saying that's not illegal. Tax avoidance is not illegal, you are allowed to use every loophole in the code, that's why they're there.
No settling is not losing. Settling is avoiding a final judgment, losing is what happens when a judge or jury rules against you. Settling is deciding that a case isn't worth pursuing, most often for corporations it's the PR hit that makes them decide to settle, that's why the lawyers go after them, they know PR is the most valuable thing to a company like Walmart and that even if Walmart did nothing wrong and would win they don't want to deal with the PR damage so they'll settle to end the bad headlines.
There exists an "insurable interest" in the loss of a key employee to any company. It's the law of insurance. There is a loss to the company when an employee long in service dies. The cost of recruiting and training new employees is not just some piddling thing. I couldn't benefit from the death of Marilyn Monroe by purchasing a policy on her life, but I would definitely suffer a loss of services from a key employee dying. This must be a new concept to some leftist lawyers who know nothing about insurance law.
How do you know? The employee who died may very well have known about the policy.
Settling isn't losing, settling is settling. Litigation is expensive, and companies often make business decisions to settle cases.
it would be irresponsible for a corporation NOT to have key man insurance.
They're not talking about key man insurance. The article refers to the fact that Wal-Mart (among other corporations) was taking out death benefit policies on all of its "associates". I don't think the average Wal-Mart greeter could be characterized as a "key man".
Wal Mart betting on your death? No shocker there... Enjoy your tainted chinese goods.
I wonder if The insurance company was based in China?
Coming next week:
"Wal-Mart to Import Workers from China"
The Free Republic Wal-Mart Sycophants would applaud that decision.
If this is true, I'm not all that wild about insuring people without their knowledge. However, if the employees are told, I've got no problem with an employer buying insurance on an employee as long as the employer pays the premiums.
Buying insurance is disgusting? I don't think so.
True, but Great Wall Mart has no insurable interest in employee working minimal wage. They can find replacement worker in no time.
Employer can insure key employees to offset business loss if they die. (e.g. the owner of busy car body ahop can insure workers skilled in fixing rare and expensive cars because his business will suffer until he finds equally qualified replacement) This is obviously not the case here, thus this insurance is illegal, bordering on fraud.
I wonder if The Great Wall Mart will be the first to sell SoylentGreen (R)
You mean the employee shouldn't have a say in who you pass his/her SS# around to?
They have no compelling insurable interest in a janitor , greeter or the person who waters the plants in the garden department ... that's what makes this a dodge/scam and NOT LEGITIMATE INSURANCE ,, simply by being an employee isn't a strong enough reason to allow this abuse of the tax laws... these arguments that WMT has an interest because of the replacement cost if the employee dies is BS ,, I'm sure 100 employees quit or are fired for every one that dies ,, why wouldn't they insure against that eventuality? (yes I know you can't actually do that as it is an eventuality that is not "chance" but I use it to illustrate the falsehood of the argument for allowing this abuse of the taxpayers) I don't think WMT is evil but I do want them to NOT GAME THE SYSTEM AND PLAY BY THE RULES , THIS MEANS PAYING TAX ON THEIR PROFITS NOT PROFITS minus CASH WASHED THROUGH AN INSURANCE COMPANY AND CONVERTED INTO NON-TAXABLE DEATH BENEFITS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EMPLOYEES WORTH TO THE CORP.
It's not as if they are ripping off orphans and widows, which is exactly what is supposed to be visualized here.
They're ripping YOU off by this abuse of the tax exempt nature of insurance benefits to reduce their LEGITIMATE tax assessment... we (yes you too) pay more on our taxes as a result..
Would it bother to find out that one of your employees took out a life insurance policy on you, without your knowledge?
We would have to read the privacy act the employee signed when they provided their SSN.

The room was convenient for our stay. We went to six flags. Our only complaint was that the towels were used. They were wet and dirty when we got there. I called the front desk and no one answered.
Friendly staff, respectful! Room was great for what it was, AC worked great! Which is always a good thing in TX. Also very clean!
My whole stay was really good, the room was clean and comfortable and spacious. Untill I went into the bathroom and saw several long hair on the shower floor, and I also found one long hair on the bed!!
This is the first hotel we have booked thru hotels.com that we were not happy with. The hotel was dirty, the pool was not up to codes and it wasn't very well litenough anywhere on the property especially the pool.
Terrible the manager Will should be fired he does not care and is seldom in the property I left 3 messages for him yet to return one
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

I would really need more information about your specific situation to give good advice or present some other options to you. If you have already stopped making payments on your home, foreclosure is imminent. I would recommend doing whatever it takes to get into a new job and try to pay the bank back ALL the money owed before they foreclose. A short sale is an option; but it's tough to get the bank to agree to a fair price sometimes. You should speak with your lender specifically about options involving your payments and/or short sale.
It's important to note that it's always an option to try to rent your home out for the most that you can, use that money to make your payments and try to make other living arrangements with a room mate, family member or dorm-style housing in the area where your new job is. I know that this is a tough option, but I know someone who has done this very thing to "ride out" this economy. So far, it's worked for him pretty well. He's renting his home out for $1200 a month and sending that straight to the bank. He took a new job about 2 hours from there and is renting a room from an older couple for $250 per month while working close by. He has said that he will do whatever is needed to keep from foreclosing...empty his savings, live anywhere, take a job anywhere...and he has had to do all of the above to keep his head above water.
Obviously this option may not be an option at all if you have a large family. My number 1 recommendation, regardless of the details of your situation, is to find an absolute top-notch Realtor who is experienced with short sale and foreclosure situations. Let us know if we can help you find one!
Good luck!

Let's look at this as a business decision.
You are weighing the cost of moving for a new job.
Does that mean that you are not working now? Or that you simply have better opportunities.
With every job move are pros and cons to taking a new job that requires relocation. In your case I cannot tell from your post if you are saying:
I have only one choice - move or foreclosure. Does that mean that you are unemployed?
I think you have two options. Either provide us with more detailed information about your situation, or (this would be my advice) talk with a Realtor that is knowledgeable about the market trends and discuss your options and their consequences.
It might be that if you are unemployed, and the ONLY option for a lender would be a short sale, that you need to sell. That being said, you need the right REaltor. Let me know if I can refer you to someone that can help.
1. owner Financing..
2. You can also rented out....
There are several options;
• Short Sale
• Loan Modification
• Lease
• Lease/Purchase
The choices are not great, but you can avoid foreclosre.
What about renting the property, you can always contact a Property Management Company in your area.
Will the company you are having your job offer from assist with the relocation?
Good Luck to you
Try to contact a realtor in your area. You have diferent options. One, you can rent your house and
make payments to your bank. Two, you can do a short sale. Foreclosure, should be the last resort.

is still very sexy even at her age. She got divorced long ago and George is the
only her son. He just turned 18. They are great friends even though many teenagers
at his age have problems with parents. The only thing that bothered him in his
relations with mothers is that she was extremely jealous to his girlfriends. He
couldn�t understand why till one night she came to his bedroom is short robe to
talk about it. As you may see their conversation ended with really wild and messy
Amanda�s sons grew up it was very painful for her to watch them having fun at
parties and clubs and dating young girls. She did her best to stay # 1 for them.
Sons often joked that she�s she only woman in the world they will ever love. Once
they had pretty frank conversation about sex and Amanda said desperately she�s
not able to explain everything they ask her about but she�s able to show! That
was nasty but her sons took her right. It was their first incest experience so
they recorded it on video.
grew up without mother. She died when Helen was a just small kid. Her father Artur
took care of her, protected and cherished her. Sure, for Helen loved him not like
a father but like a man. But she couldn�t confessed herself in it till the day
he kissed her lips while she was sleeping. She woke up and finally realized how
happy she is. She never enjoyed sex with guys from her college as much as she
enjoyed it with Artur. She got her cunt eaten out as never before and then stuffed
with her father�s strong cock.

Can any of my US friends on this site who work in business consultancy give me some advice please ?
My problem is to have an idea of reasonable hourly rates that are charged by US based consultants ; I don't mean the big firms like Accenture, just small consultancy firms. It is for a project concerning help in setting up and financing a small business (preparing a business plan, dealing with tax, legal and accounting issues and dealing with the raising of capital).
I would really like to know what hourly rates would be requested for this type of work.
Thank you very much for any help you give me !
