Insurance companies have helpfully handed the GOP a nice big bomb to throw in the lead-up to this fall's elections, and this bomb has "TAXPAYER-FUNDED ABORTIONS" painted on its side.

Instead of total protonic reversal à la Ghostbusters, though, we get tax-dollar-related pearl-clutching. More

The book's heroine, Elizabeth, travels to the western frontier to be a teacher. Her adventures are interesting and often humorous (but not outlandish) as she adapts from city life to frontier life. Of course, she meets a handsome Mountie and falls in love with him... Untypically, Janette Oke doesn't have them meet each other right away, and quickly marry them off; she allows Elizabeth to remain in suspense for quite some time and get to actually know Wynn (the Mountie) better. That is one thing I liked better about this book than other Janette Oke books- the characters were more realistic (on the whole) and they did not fall in love at first sight and want to get married right away. I liked that because it left the plot freer for other topics besides the characters' romance.
I must say, however, that one must not let the good reviews of "When Calls the Heart" to lead them into buying the other three books in the "Canadian West" series. They are not nearly as good as the first book. In fact, I highly suggest that you read "Mrs. Mike", by Benedict and Nancy Freedman, instead. "Mrs. Mike" is a true story, and when you compare it with the remainder of the Canadian West books, it is obvious where Janette Oke got much of her material for incidents and characters.
You'll enjoy "When Calls the Heart." I definitely did. The other three books aren't as good, but you can read "When Calls the Heart" by itself; it doesn't necessarily need sequels.
This is my favorite Janette Oke series just for the sheer difference in writing style and plot.

Meetings are a necessary part of working in any group – they give us the chance to share information, to reach decisions and to get jobs done. But too often they drag on and on, with tempers running high, people talking over each other, and no decisions being made. Bad meetings leave you wondering why you bothered turning up. Unfortunately this pattern is very common in groups. However by using some facilitation skills it's easy to turn around the style of meetings and actually make them an enjoyable and inspiring experience.
What is facilitation?
Was the meeting successful?
Tasks – What got done? Did you get the necessary results? Were problems solved, and were the objectives of the group met?
Maintenance – How did it get done? How did people feel and how will this affect morale and group cohesion? Did the meeting make good use of the pooled talents? Was it enjoyable?
Facilitation is about helping the group to have an efficient and inclusive meeting. It's also about making sure everyone can be involved in discussions and making decisions. It combines a series of roles and tasks. Sometimes these are taken on by one person – the facilitator, however there's no reason why they can't be shared between one or more people in the meeting. Good facilitators stay neutral, winning the trust of everyone in the meeting and treating everyone as equals. At no time do they make decisions for the group or take sides in a conflict.
Key facilitation tasks
Co-facilitation roles at a meeting
Instead of just one facilitator you could have two or more people sharing the different tasks:
Co-facilitators can take turns facilitating and support each other.
Taking hands: the job of keeping track of whose turn it is to speak next and of giving appropriate time limits to speakers.
Vibes-watchers pay attention to the emotional atmosphere of the meeting, They watch out for individuals' feelings and intervene if necessary.
The timekeeper keeps track of the time and the agreed time frame for the different agenda points, negotiating extensions if needed.
Notetakers or recorders take minutes or notes, collect reports, and also draw attention to incomplete decisions - e.g. "who is going to contact so and so, and when?".
The doorkeeper welcomes people in, bringing them up to speed on the meeting and practical stuff.back to top
A facilitator's skills and qualities
Good listening skills to hear underlying concerns in the group. This includes strategic questioning to be able to understand everyone's viewpoint properly.
Understanding of the aim of the meeting as well as long-term goals of the group.
Respect for all participants and interest in what each individual has to offer.
Neutrality on the issues discussed. Avoiding taking sides or manipulating the meeting towards a particular outcome. If this becomes difficult, or you know in advance that you'll struggle to remain impartial try:
letting someone else facilitate;
making it clear when you're expressing your own opinion and when you're interving as a facilitator.
Assertiveness - know when to intervene decisively and give some direction to the meeting.
Clear thinking and observation - pay attention both to the content of the discussion and the process. How are people feeling? What is being said?
Facilitating consensus
Many grassroots groups use consensus decision making rather than voting in their meetings. When working to reach consensus we bring together different ideas and try to find a proposal that is agreeable to everyone. Consensus is about participation and equalising power. Good facilitation plays an important role in helping a group to reach agreement.
The key to helping a group towards consensus is to help all members of the group express their needs and viewpoints clearly, find the common ground and find solutions to any areas of disagreement. Active listening, summarising and synthesis are three skills that help the facilitator with this.
To make summarising and synthesis easier it is helpful to write up key issues on a flipchart as the discussion happens.back to top

Tavy & doro-tanety
Favorite thing: Tavy is a slash and burn technique that locals use for agriculture. Thinking of it, I always understood that the more you burn soil, the more you kill nutriments in it... Peasants in Madagascar always believed the contrary. Then, for decades, they just slash and burn hundred of thousands of sq. meter per year. Like if there was a race for the greatest burner or what (?).
[Aug. 2004: I just heard while watching a program the principles of this tavy. To have arable plots of lands, Malagasy countrymen had used, since centuries ago, to apply the slash and burn technique. They first slashed trees (of the primitive forests) then burnt trunks to have ashes nourishing the soil. Planted the plots and left them to rest and regenerate for 40-50 years. It used to work for decades. The balance had been maintained since trees were growing again. For some decades, population had rapidly grown so that they needed more arable soils. Burnt more surfaces and left less years for regeneration. Whilst the soil was left for rest for 40-50 years, the average rest period is now 8 years. As a result: no trees growing, less nutriments regenerated. ]
Doro-tanety means the burning of soil. It can result from tavy, vandalism, political protestation (?) or pyromania. This phenomenon usually occurs throughout the island in winter (because weather is dry in winter, it is easier to burn vast surfaces). Now, click on the picture and you'll see that even on this red- lateritic soil, they still believe that burning would make it more fertile.. and they burn.
It is to counter such actions and to educate peasants (80% of Malagasy) that NGOs, the government, the more educated Malagasy people are now working together to guide the weakest ones, the poorest, the illiterate. Work is tough though locals, government, citizen associations make it possible to save what can be saved. It needs a strong will and a noneless strong support from tourists, visitors, holidaymakers.
Fondest memory: This is the area just before entering Isalo Park... Dry, burnt and nude soil

Red Island
Favorite thing: It's after seeing those red- soil sceneries that "Red Island" comes to your mind.
This is not only in Isalo area but throughout the Central Highlands too. Tana, Fianarantsoa and Toliara provinces.
In the past though, the country was nicknamed "Blue island" for it being so green, dark green that it seems blue when seen from above (plane, for instance). Blue-green because of the primitive forests.
But deforestation "arranged" it all to fully upset the ecological balance. Indeed, where on this red soil would live the lemurs, the birds, the chamilions without forest and greeneries?
Hopefully, NGOS and new government tackle the education problem of those 80% of Malagasy now. ANGAP (I mention in my must-see activties tips) has had tough job to orientate and forbid the extract of sapphire in the Isalo park itself in the latest years. How would they achieve that since a massive exodus hit Ilakaka region to extract sapphire ?
The job was too immense compared to the expectations the whole population has towards the discovery of this Malagasy Eldorado.
Now, the craze for this activity seems to weaken a bit. Also, the NGO managed to finance and implement micro-projects like planting rice, cultivating vegetables to provide the locals with revenues (and so to deter them from extracting gems in the Northern part of the massif, where Isalo National Park lies)... That, in larger scale, would encourage them to send kids to school and leave this park alone, without the big holes made for sapphire mining.
Fondest memory: Many reasons entitle this island the nickname of "Red island".
*Red as Red- lateritic eroded soil
*Red as Communism:
Yes, "Blue island" turned also red when ancient president Didier Ratsiraka came to power in 1974, with his Marxist- Leninist approach, his Little Red book, Boky mena.
An approach that he left in the 90s, making a huge 180-degree-turn to capitalism. Meanwhile, nothing has changed. Yes, change: people was empoverished, public services were deficient, corruption practice skyrocketed. A huge part of society remained illiterate.
Now, scholar kits are distributed to countryside families in order to spare them the cost of material. Still, one has to find a way to encourage them to NOT keep the kids in the fields.. but that's another story.
Maybe you are wondering why I talk about politics. Because nature, wildlfe protection, environmental problems are tightly linked to economy. And economic decisions (or non-decisions, for that matter) are dictated by political measures. No more than in poor countries are parks and nature reserves are so under threaten. In Madagascar, there is not any other park that has known such a fate as this Isalo National Park, for its contaning the precious sapphire mines.

- Eco-Tourism
Bathing: YES, Drinking: NO
Favorite thing: Of course, water is not good for you there. You may bath but I advise you to NOT drink, of course. Better have your own bottle (sealed) of Eau Vive or Olympiko, or other boiled.
Even, the water in this pic is not for bathing. Wait for the rockpool for that.
Fondest memory: It is amazing that this area -that is seen as arid sometimes, more desertic & rocky than lush- contains lots of rivulets, springs.
Isalo massif is even the starting point of 2 major rivers in the South.
Spring water runs in the depths of gorges and narrow humid canyons. So humid that ferns and mosses hang on the rock walls. At some time, you would find yourself hiking against the torrents, stepping on the rocks, trying to stick to the cliffs. In summer (Jan-March), this is a very refreshing experience in the Lemur valley. You would appreciate it since from the starting point, there wouldn't be no shelter, no tree until you reach the Valley.

- Hiking and Walking
It starts here
Favorite thing: Tangorombohitr' Isalo (Isalo massif), and then the Isalo park that occupies its Northern part, is located in Fianarantsoa province. We reached it after some 280 km drive from Fianarantsoa city.
It is located 700 km drive on Nationale 7 from Antananarivo (Tana), 683 km South- West of the capital more precisely... or 243 km North of Toliara.
65 minutes walking from Ranohira, where my favourite hotel, Relais de la Reine is.
The park has a surface of 81 540 ha.
GPS coordinates: 22?22' - 22?40' latitude South and 45?11' - 45?23' longitude East.
Specificities: Maki, Sifaka de verreaux (a common lemur), Grives de Beson, chamilions, endemic flora (incl. lush "rock" flora as aloe vera, pied d'elephant, euphorbs and pachypods)... Rock pool, La Reine, La fen?tre (both NOT manmade), ruiniform features.
Canyons with oasis. Also galleries that house plants, greenery and fresh water cascades that use to end in the fresh rockpool.
Bara people are the majority of the locals, living on breeding and agriculture. Yet, with the sapphire extraction business in Ilakaka, the area has attracted a lot of Malagasy from everywhere, Sri-Lankan, Taiwanese and Thai people.
Fondest memory: Awesome area with weird shapes of rock, strange features as for flora (pied d'elephant) and fauna (lemurs)

Sapphire road
Favorite thing: End 1997, a peasant found a sapphire stone and showed it to a tourist. The rumour that sapphire was discovered there had spread nationwide. And "small" people came to extract minerals as a job. In no time, Ilakaka region, then a hamlet with no electricity with just dozens of inhabitants, welcame hundreds of thousands of mine workers from all over the country. The "city" grew so quickly but was never ready to host so many people. They were there, with the hope of making money from sapphire extraction. Appalling working and living conditions, of course. Many are reported to have died in the mining galleries, surprised by erosion.
Then suddenly, the then government closed the mines, "in order to regulate and make it safe to work there". They meant by that, organising the extraction business, administration, "working on the new mining code" related to it. There was certainly some good intention in that, given the situation in the area (no safety, bad living conditions, unlawness, diseases incl. STD...). Also, the Isalo park started to be the scene of mining activities, tough job for the ANGAP of course (see about ANGAP later, in my must see's).
Still, whereas small people were sent home, jobless. The mines were opened to officials who drove there, by car, by helicopter Sri Lankan, Thai traders. They were extracting the gemms and kept small people aside. One of extracting sites there was told to belong to the son of a top government official. The son had, then, his air company too.
Then, the mines re-opened in April 2001, reportedly after that a lot was extracted by officials. Yet, small people are installing themselves again. Now, let's see what the new government would do for this situation. I will update.
Fondest memory: Before reaching Isalo National Park, we passed Sakaraha and Ilakaka without noticing they were the sapphire towns.
That is because I was there in 1995. Then, I noticed both towns were isolated, made of this red earth with just small huts here and there.
Now, Ilakaka is the local equivalent of the Wild West: bustling shops, restaurants, bars, casinos, inns. It even has its own radio station. Strange area I never walked in. But friends who went there in 2001 reported that everything costed a lot there since money flows. No basic amenities such as electricity either toilets but "groupe electrog?ne". Houses were rather settlement dwelling. Also, guns were ruling. Many prostitutes (from 14) for the miners. The guys need entertainment :)) Taxi rides are reported to be expensive too.
Despite current government's (the one who has been there since 2002) attempt to regulate sapphire extraction there, the Far West habits are not part of history yet. I was told that corruption of officials is still a system. Seems to enhance still.
To think, the sapphire extracting activities take place in the Northern part of the massif, the very one that houses the National park as well. This is what I was refering to in my intro text, talking about the tie binding the fate of a park with the attitude of the decisionmakers.

Isalo canyon, where you have to take your time
Favorite thing: Landscape is made of dry grass with sandstone rocks, eroded over time by wind and rain into weird shapes.
The park is 15 km South from Ranohira village.
Leave the RN7 and take your right... then be ready to walk, cycle, drive your 4wd (no berline there)...
Half a day is said to be enough to make some tour in the park. Yet, most interesting stays are of minimum one-two days (trekking with camping, for instance). Then, you will have the opportunity to immerge yourself in this awesome area, very atmospheric.
Normally, they (the park services and the guides) would suggest several possible circuits. You will choose according to the time you would allow to the visit, your physical conditions (some circuits require some fit conditions).
Amongst the most popular:
- La piscine naturelle (The rock pool), easy access, smooth upslopes.
Great panoramic views - Bara and Sakalava tombs. A savannah with specific flora- Botanical garden with rock plants - The weird shaped eroded massif with picturesque colours. This circuit would take you 15 mn by car or 40 mn on foot to go to the entry + 1h20 mn - 2 h 20 mn on foot (the visit in itself)
- Les canyons des rats et des makis (Rat and Lemur valley)
It required a better physical condition already. You will be granted with the great views. Also part of landscape are ricefields, cliffs with narrow but deep gorges. You will see an ancient royal village (local kingdom), Bara tomb.
You will go through the savananh, of course and strangely enough through lush flora and forest. Oasis in the middle of dry area, with cascades, rockpools. Best circuit to spot lemurs. This circuit would take you 40 mn by car or 2h on foot to go to the entry + 2h - 4h on foot (the visit in itself)
The toughest turns out to be the most rewarding circuit: Grottes de Teniky and Sahanafa forest
Fondest memory: Definately, guiding is mandatory.
Ah I forgot, you have to have your ticket that you may buy at ANGAP (Tana) or at Maison d'accueil (Ranohira).
Take your time to visit the park. You will not regret it. Camping is really sought for as well.

Favorite thing: You will have to go through these corridors.. It, as many others, are located in the rocks, creating some kind of oasis. See? Greenery, flowers, rivulets or sometimes cascades are located in the middle of the dry rocks...
At some time while climbing, you'll have to stick to the cliff, with the help of some rope, to not to fall in the water. Still, the water was 1.50 m lower. :) see next tip
Isalo is about that: the combination of rocks -plants; dry-wet.. to give us the sight on weirdest landscape in the country.
Fondest memory: silence in the park... though the sifakas communicate with their calls, silence prevails due to the immensity of the area.
feeling of immensity... hmmm.. OK, I don't talk about the "immensity" of this gorge in the picture, of course. It is rather narrow, in fact. :)

Isalo canyon, "la fenêtre"
Favorite thing: When you are in Isalo canyon, pay attention to what guides tell you and don't miss the picture of this La fenêtre (The Window)... Winds and rains combined their actions so as to give birth to such shapes.
I missed the pic though I was amazed by the shape of the rock, like it was the case for La Reine. I hadn't read any book on my visit so i didn't really know what I would encounter in the park. This was an experience!!
It took other friends who visited the park at a different time to give me this picture of La fenêtre and La Reine.
Fondest memory: The feeling of immensity, of weirdness..
A serenity in what may be considered as "aggressive" landscape.. In fact, it is simply rocky and strangely shaped.

Isalo massif, deserted area
Favorite thing: It sure amazed me. It seems that locals in this area are used to live in huts. Small huts. Still, I was stuned when I saw this hut. I am not sure this is for human, given its size but for what then ? Animals? Well, if it's for the domestic animals I saw: dogs, goats, sheeps, this is not large enough either. What is the hut for then? Mystery. This is the smallest I saw, I must say.
Fondest memory: While passing by the houses in the arid bushy region, I wondered myself how people in those huts live. What do they eat ? In fact, apart from some manioc plants & goats & sheeps, they seem to have nothing to eat.

Isalo canyon, a lizzard ? a gecko ?
Favorite thing: Geckos are other species you usually find in Madagascar. if I am not wrong, the island is even known for gecko species. Still, I don't have any info regarding gecko specificity in Madagascar. Maybe the biggest gecko ? I know about the tallest chamilion and the tallest butterfly. I know Madagascar has some giant geckos buit is it the only place for them? I don't know.
Maybe because they are not my favourite "beasts" ?
Anyway, one can always have a look here to know more of them:
Fondest memory: One has to pay attention while walking because of the colour of some animals that make them appear as invisible. Like this one, it resembles the rock on which it is laying.
But of course, sometimes you may encounter the electric green gecko or the neon gecko... beautiful and looks good on photo.
PS: Belgianchocolate just told me it looks like a lizzard. I thought of that too. He pointed out about the fingers (that geckos usually have round fingers). I thought of it too. So, it is likely to be rather a lizzard than a gecko. My lat visit was in years and years ago, I didn't take any note so it is sometimes difficult to remember of everything.

Fresh rockpool water...
Favorite thing: .. to finish with, the most rewarding activity after the efforts of walking under the sun, on the slippery rocks, in the canyons: a bath in the rockpool water.
This is a natural rockpool. Still, since eroded soil brings sand in the pool, park keepers have to regularly pull the sand away in the pool. Big Thanks to them !

Ricefields near Maki canyon
Favorite thing: You wouldn't feed 15 millions of people without cultivating the staple food. So, in Isalo park oasises, one finds many types of cultivation, including ricefields. Yep, you are in Madagascar, folks !
Fondest memory: The constrast betwen the lusher area of the canyon, where runs a river and lies a rockpool, and the drier parts.
- Hiking and Walking
- National/State Park
- Camping
Favorite thing: Does it surprise you to encounter rivulets in the desert Isalo park ?
It shouldn't since two main rivers in Southern part of Madagascar depart from Isalo area.
Remember ? It is a massif, with different altitudes. Then rivulets and rivers run through it. :)
Fondest memory: Once again, one of fondest memories of mine is the sharp contrast between the lush oasises, the humid gorges and the dry rock formations.

Wednesday, June 11, 2014
A severe thunderstorm raging outside could not dampen the excitement as the 87 Carvers Bay High School seniors of the Class of 2014 received their diplomas June 5.
The ceremony in the schools gymnasium was delayed by about 10 minutes after the storm caused a momentary power outage. It took several minutes for the lights in the gym to warm back up.
After the ceremony got underway, the welcome was given by salutatorian Spencer Owens who talked about his love for his fellow students during his speech.
You are all special in your own unique way, he said. I love you all.
Owens, who is a member of a southern gospel singing group, peppered his speech with scripture, Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8: 28.
After his prepared remarks, he did something he told the crowd was not rehearsed.
I do love you guys. You are my family, he said. He then spent his final minute of his time at the podium praying for his classmates, their families and the staff of Carvers Bay.
The prayer drew a round of applause, a standing ovation and cheers that drowned out the rolling thunder from the storm outside.
After the ceremony, Owens said he had given Principal Richard Neal notice that he may possibly include a prayer in his speech.
Valedictorian Laja Wright was overcome with emotion as she took to the microphone for her speech.
One reason was because she dedicated her speech not only to her parents, but to her grandfather, Ervin Wright, who passed away in January.
The Carvers Bay top student said he is her inspiration for wanting to go into the medical field.
During her speech, Wright quoted from Maya Angelou.
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel, Wright quoted Angelou.
She capsulated her days in elementary, middle and high school and then said she is proud to be a part of the class of 2014.
She also urged her classmates to follow their dreams.
Our passions and dreams make us all unique individuals, she said. We must never forget where we come from or the people who have supported us.

North Korea has told its people to prepare for famine in what it has ominously described as a second "arduous march".
An article published in the state-run Rodong Sinmumn newspaper has urged citizens to prepare for economic hardship, warning that "the road to revolution is long and arduous. We may have to go on an arduous march, during which we will have to chew the roots of plants once again".
The term was coined following the four-year famine which started in 1994 and was responsible for the deaths of around 3 million North Koreans.
The famine took hold following a period of economic mismanagement, natural disasters and the collapse of the Soviet bloc.
The South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo, which is a reliable source of information emerging from the hermit kingdom, has reported that the regime has recently collected 1kg of grain from every Pyongyang [capital city] citizen every month.

"People are getting anxious because the regime is forcing farmers to give extra food donations to the military," the paper added.
It is thought the famine warning is set to last three years.
The developments come less than a month after the UN Security Council voted to impose tougher sanctions following the countries' recent nuclear war tests.
It went on to say allegiances to Kim Jong-un, the countries' leader, should not waver. "Even if we give up our lives, we should continue to show our loyalty to our leader, Kim Jong-un, until the end of our lives," it added.
North Korea has requested almost half a million tons of food aid from other countries, but only around 17,000 had been delivered by February.

Wellington: TSB Bank Arena Monday 3rd March 10am
Wanted: one mid-sized dog with sandy coloured hair and star qualities!
If this description fits your pooch, then the UK-based producers of ANNIE — one of the best-loved stage musicals of all time — want to see you both at the TSB Arena in Wellington on Monday, 3rd March [2014] ….
They're looking for a dog to play the role of Sandy in the star-studded UK production of ANNIE which opens on 23 May at the St James Theatre, Wellington …
The dog should have a medium to long coat, be at least 18 months old, and must be comfortable with children, strangers and being away from its master. The dog should also be able to tolerate loud noise and be food-focused for training.
[Via : Is Your Pooch A Star? Dog Auditions for 'Annie' Announced | Scoop News.]
Aucklanders: they need a dog up there too.

When the Philadelphia Phillies acquired Roy Oswalt shortly before the trade deadline, Atlanta Braves fans braced for impact as everyone in the sports world predicted a late-season push from the Phillies to overtake the Braves in the quest for the NL East title.
The Braves' recent struggles and acquisition of dead-weight Derrek Lee haven't done much to dispel those fears, and at the time of this writing, they have fallen a half of a game behind Philadelphia.
But Braves fans need to keep an eye on the light at the end of the tunnel. That light is not a NL Wild Card berth. It's an NL East Championship. Here are six reasons why.
(All statistics accurate through September 6).

NZ girl's DNA sent to UK in Madeleine McCann case
Wednesday 6 Feb 2013 5:48 a.m.
The McCann family's poster showing their daughter Madeleine as she looked when she disappeared (L) and an age progression image which shows what she might have looked like in 2009 (Reuters)
By 3 News online staff
New Zealand police are sending a DNA sample from a Queenstown girl to the UK to rule her out of the hunt for missing British girl Madeleine McCann.
Scotland Yard has requested the sample following a sighting of the girl in Queenstown on New Year's Eve, Fairfax reports.
A local retailer reported she was suspicious of a man with a young girl who bore a resemblance to Madeleine.
The woman said the girl had the same rare eye defect as Madeleine, and she felt obliged to contact police in the slim chance it could be the missing girl.
New Zealand police are satisfied she's not Madeleine, who went missing in Portugal in 2007 aged 4, while on holiday with her parents.
In 2010 a security camera picture of a Dunedin girl who looked like Madeleine taken in December 2007 was released by a Portuguese court. But police later confirmed the girl was not Madeleine.
The results of the DNA test won't be available for weeks.

Use enrollment season to educate about flexible spending accounts (FSAs)
Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) continue to garner significant interest and questions from employees during open enrollment. But open enrollment doesn't have to be complicated. The following tips can help employers to educate their workforce about the benefits of these tax-advantaged accounts.
Tips for Employers
Last year, the U.S. Treasury Department and IRS made some favorable changes to FSAs by
altering the long-standing "use it or lose it" rule, allowing employers to offer a carryover of up to $500 in unused FSA funds to the following year or to continue a grace period option giving a two-and-a-half month extension to spend remaining FSA funds. FSAs cannot have both a carryover and a grace period option, and employers are not obligated to offer either extension.
Employers should consider their options:
Tips for Employees
Open enrollment communications are an opportunity to provide employees with the following pointers on FSA use:
In addition, here are some ways for employees to use their accounts that they may not be aware of:

Espicom View: China is set to substantially increase its output of X-ray equipment as a result of initiatives by multinationals targeting the rapidly expanding Chinese healthcare market and other high growth emerging markets in Asia and Africa.
The drive to exploit the rapidly growing Chinese diagnostic imaging market continues apace with several multinationals increasing their local production capacity to meet the specific needs of the Chinese healthcare market and other high growth emerging markets. In particular, the focus of attention is switching from high-end systems to lower-end products adapted to the requirements of smaller hospitals in more remote areas.
Siemens Opens New X-ray Product Facility
The latest initiative comes from Siemens , which is expanding local production of X-ray equipment with the opening in August 2013 of a new X-ray product (XP) building at its Siemens Shanghai Medical Equipment (SSME) subsidiary. According to Siemens, the new facility will expand the R&D and manufacturing capacity for X-ray products that can fully meet the needs of China's basic healthcare market, and inject the technology created in China to the products and solutions that serve global markets. SSME, which was set up as a joint venture with Shanghai Medical Equipment Works in 1992, is Siemens Healthcare's largest R&D and production base in Asia Pacific and is also the company's largest development and production base for X-ray systems outside of Germany, focusing on the requirements of the basic medical equipment market. In addition to X-ray products, SSME produces CT scanners. Around 700 employees, including 350 researchers and developers, work at the Shanghai facility. Based on the existing digital X-ray, digital gastrointestinal and mobile X-ray product lines in China, more types of digital X-ray and mammography product lines will be introduced to the new facility.
Espicom notes that the move by Siemens follows a decision by GE Healthcare in 2011 to move its X-ray division's global headquarters to Beijing to enable an entire in-country X-ray business cycle from R&D to sales & service. Over 20% of new X-ray products will be developed in China. Meanwhile, Philips has invested over US$50mn in a development centre for diagnostic imaging systems located at the Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu Province, which will produce X-ray equipment for mid-sized hospitals, in addition to CT and MRI equipment. Other developments include Hologic's acquisition in July 2011 of Beijing Healthcome Technology, which manufactures mammography equipment targeted at low-tiered Chinese hospitals.
By increasing their local production capacity, multinationals are seeking to leverage their market position against competing indigenous producers such as Wandong Medical Equipment , China's leading producer of X-ray equipment, which is undergoing a revamp following its acquisition by China Resources in March 2012.
X-ray Market Experiencing Robust Growth
The market for other medical X-ray apparatus has outperformed the diagnostic imaging market as a whole in recent years, growing at an estimated CAGR of 25.9% since 2008 to reach US$1,238mn in 2013. The market is expected to continue to see robust growth with a CAGR of 19.2% projected through to 2018, taking sales to US$2,975mn. Market growth will be driven by the conversion from film and analogue to digital X-ray technology and the rapid expansion of the primary and rural healthcare market.
|China Medical X-ray Apparatus Sales (US$mn)
Exports Still Relatively Low But Seeing Above Average Growth
Whilst most of the additional production capacity is aimed at meeting the demands of the domestic market, equipment developed for the local Chinese market is likely to be well suited to other emerging markets in the region, including India as well as markets in Africa, where Chinese companies have had notable success in recent years. Exports of medical X-ray apparatus are relatively low, currently representing just 1.3% of total medical device exports. They are, however, seeing above average growth with an 18.1% rise to US$161.7mn recorded in the 12 months to June 2013, compared to a 12.2% rise in diagnostic imaging exports in general. The bulk of X-ray exports are sent to established markets in the EU, Japan and the USA, but the fastest growing markets over the past 12 months have been smaller, emerging markets including South Africa, which received X-ray shipments valued at US$2.7mn.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
Sweet Ride
Pros: Styling
Cons: N/AWe have only owned the car for 2 weeks and have yet to make a 'trip' in it, but after driving small SUVs and 'little toy cars' for many years, this appears to be an excellent car...especially when factoring in the price.
Cons: I wish it had heat and ac both front and back.I love my KIA. I bought it used with 17000 miles. I love being able to call the shop if I have a problem and getting right in and getting it fixed. The only problem I have had is my tail lights kept blowing out. They finally put in a heavy duty plug and haven't had a problem since. I also had a sensor go out and it took a couple of days to fix it or get the part, but I was on a trip anyway, so it still wasn't a problem.
a very good car
Pros: 4 wheel drive
Cons: seats are cold in winter4 wheel drive works very well in winter snow and light off-roading. Drives nice on highway
Loved the car when I bought it. Very comfortable great performance. We are selling it because we have 129,000 miles on it and last year I spent $2600 in repairs and this year already $600. Kia repair shops are by far the worse i have ever dealt with. Many times took it back two and tree times to get the same thing fixed. After $3000 miles took it in for my first oil change. They did something wrong and it threw a rod because of it. Had to replace the engine. Of course it was on guarantee but that was just the beginning. Will never own another Kia.
Car Reviews
Pros: Most features, best priced, highest quality product available.
Cons: NOTHING!I love my Sorento! I researched 10+ SUV's and this one is hands down the best value out there in terms of overall quality and eye catching design. Gotta love the 10 Year Warranty. I bought mine from Jim Butler, Kia and dealt with Andrew and got it at a great value.
Great car!
Pros: Bluetooth, 6-speed auto, USB inputs
Cons: Car could have more power to match the looksThe Koup is my 4th Kia and I have to say the best. over all I love the car-looks great, drives good and is very comfortable. I have the EX. Power could be better, but not bad for a 156HP 4cy with 6-speed auto. I love this car and recomend it to anyone that wants a nice looking 2 door car for a good price.
Plainest little car you'll ever love
Pros: Reliability
Cons: AppearanceThis is my second 'base model' Kia Rio, I love it! Never have to drop a gear going up big hills. I like the simplicity, feeling the road, and reliability. My last Kia didn't owe me a dime when I finally traded it at 130k. Great warranty, nice car as long as your ego isn't hooked to the cool factor of your ride.
