Riviera Consulting to Pay $100K to Settle Disability Discrimination Suit
A San Jose-based business has agreed to pay $100,000 to a former employee who was fired because of his vision impairment. The company will also implement new policies and training in order to settle a federal disability discrimination lawsuit.
Farhang Dahmubed was hired as a senior bookkeeper at Riviera Consulting & Management, LLC in 2007. Shortly after disclosing to his employer that he had retinitis pigmentosa - an eye disease which substantially limits one's ability to see - Mr. Dahmubed was terminated.
With more than 20 years of experience in his field, Mr. Dahmubed was fully qualified to perform the essential functions of his job as a senior bookkeeper. While he had not been informed that driving was one of his job duties prior to disclosing his disease, Mr. Dahmubed's employer later told him that his vision impairment would make it impossible for him to distribute payroll checks and deliver mail by car and identified this as the reason for his termination.
Both state and federal law require employers to engage in an interactive process and provide reasonable accommodations for disabled employees so that they are able to perform their jobs, and it expressly prohibits terminating a qualified employee because of a disability. When Mr. Dahmubed requested a reasonable accommodation for these newly created job duties related to driving – such as walking or having someone else drive him – he was refused.
Soon after Mr. Dahmubed was terminated, the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center (LAS-ELC) helped him file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. After finding cause to believe that Mr. Dahmubed had been discriminated against on the basis of his disability, the EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for Northern District of California against Riviera and associated companies Ali Baba Corporation, Oasis Care, Inc., Sabankaya Select, LLC, and Sabankaya et al. Mr. Dahmubed intervened in the suit and was represented by LAS-ELC.
According to the consent decree settling the suit which was ordered yesterday by Judge Koh, the defendants agree to pay Mr. Dahmubed and his attorneys $100,000. In addition to the monetary relief, the companies agreed to contract with an independent equal employment opportunity consultant to revise their policies and procedures on disability discrimination and the evaluation of reasonable accommodation requests; provide anti-discrimination training to all employees; and provide periodic reports to the EEOC through the duration of the three-year decree.
"I am really glad to know that no one else will experience the same kind of discrimination I did at Rivera, since they have agreed to change their policies," said Mr. Dahmubed. "I hope my case will encourage other people with disabilities to stand up for their workplace rights."
"When Riviera refused to accommodate Mr. Dahmubed's disability and then terminated him because of that disability, it acted in violation of multiple state and federal laws," said Rachael Langston, Mr. Dahmubed's attorney with the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center. " Mr. Dahmubed was courageous to come forward with his story, and the outcome of his case should send a clear signal to employers across the country that their unlawful treatment of employees with disabilities will not be tolerated."

An ad in today's paper for Pug puppies. Said they were AKC and raised under foot.
What does "raised under foot" mean in this context?

they're not very tall?
heh. sorry.
actually, I think it means they are raised in the breeder's house, as opposed to in a kennel situation?

Imprinting. We do it to all our foals. Touch, pull,or gently tug on all areas; later to be touched, pulled or tugged on by equipment contact; farrier, or veterinary care. The key to successful imprinting is consistency of reward.
So yes, raised under foot means that they were reared in an household environ to use them of human contact.

"raised under foot" suggests a less kindly approach than gently and homely handling. Interesting.

Under foot just refers to something or someone that is always getting in your way, e.g. puppies, or guests who are determined to "help" you in your kitchen...their way. Kids are good at getting under foot, too.

And it was the resonance of the usage Jackie pointed out that made me wonder at the particular usage I was asking about in my original question. It almost seems as though the people selling the puppies were tired of tripping over them so they had to get them out of the house. A quick google, however, shows that it is a common usage for the raising of cats and dogs. I think there was even a rabbit in there amongst the first twenty hits.

I've never heard the expression before.
Do I understand you, Jackie: if something is raised underfoot, it is less likely to get underfoot?

"in and about the house and environs, as opposed to cooped up in a cage."
This is a huge deal among people who are "in to" dogs. People often decide to get a dog for reasons other than a love of the dog. They get it for the image perhaps - think Paris Hilton and her chihuahua or your local gang-banger and his pitbull or your neighbor's 8 year old daughter who doesn't understand that a living creature requires more attention than a dolly; that is, one can't just put it in the closet when one is tired of it. Many people who get them end up returning them when they are tired of them, a few of them at a HUGE loss of money.
I'm not familiar with the term, but I feel like the intent is obvious. "Raised underfoot" is not a slur, or derogatory in any way. It means the dog was loved like a child, and socialized with people, at least, if not with other animals (dogs, cats, etc.) as opposed (as you say) to being raised in a kennel by someone just out to make a buck. There's a term for this sort of kennel: they call them "puppy mills." A common opinion is that dogs from these kinds of kennels often have personality disorders, some of them irremediable. I don't have any idea how much truth there is in that opinion.

Kissaluvs has a new member of its diaper family- the Kissa Newborn AIO diaper. This diaper makes me want another baby. Badly. Sadly, Mr. Bargains doesn't seem to think that's a valid reason to have another baby….who knew? But oh, the teeny tiny diaper with its teeny tiny leg openings and teeny tiny waist- ah, adorable. Sweet. Snuggly. Lucky for my reviewer Jenni, who's the recipient of this diaper. (In all seriousness, we're not going to have another baby, no matter how loudly my ovaries scream at the mere idea of just one more baby…we can't do it for multiple reasons).
The Kissa newborn AIO is a super easy one-step system with a custom milled moisture wicking fleece inner and custom PUL outer, this diaper ensures leaks stay in and moms can focus on spending time with their precious moons instead of worrying about blowouts and rashes! The umbilical snap down feature provides cord protection during initial weeks and the cleverly placed snaps allow it to fit from 5-15lbs.
I received the Chocolate color in the new Kissa newborn. Gorgeous color. I immediately had visions of a newborn photo shoot with this diaper and perhaps a snuggly cuddly crocheted animal hat. Perhaps that'll come to fruition?!?! Time will tell.
We obviously haven't used this diaper since neither Jenni nor I has a newborn right now, but I am quite certain that this will perform as other Kissaluvs do and be a great, absorbant diaper. Aside from the teeny tiny sizing, I love the snap down for the umbilical cord. I know my kids' cord stumps seemed to hang on forever and drove me batty – but I was so hesitant to put anything near that area for fear of irritating their brand new, super sensitive skin. Love the attention to detail. Love that Kissaluvs are made here in the US of A. I can tell you that the fleece lining of this diaper is super super soft. Perfect to go next to brand-new-baby skin. The lining colors contrast with the shell color, which is super cute and a nice change from the plain white or cream linings I have in all of my diapers!!
I also love that we were one of the first to see and check out this diaper, and that we get to share one with one of our readers!

Elizabeth "Betty" C. Dennis of Beach Lake, PA passed away July 24, 2012 at Wayne Memorial Hospital, Honesdale PA, following an illness. She was born in Kingston, PA, August 29, 1937, daughter of the late Ruth Davey Dennis and Thomas S. Dennis.
She was preceded in death by two brothers; Robert Freiermuth and Richard Theobald.
She is survived by nephew Dennis C Freiermuth and wife Terry of Liberty NY; niece Donna Piscitelli and husband James of Moravia NY; niece Tina Richardson and husband Terry of Monongahela PA; niece Teresa Bouselli, and sister-in-law Phyllis Bouselli, both of Beach Lake, PA; a brother, Thomas Theobald and wife Jackie of NJ; several grand nieces and nephews, great grand nieces and nephews and cousins.
Betty graduated from Narrowsburg Central School with the class of 1956. She attended Roberts Wesley College for 4 years, graduating with her B.S in Education. She received her Master's Degree from SUNY Geneseo College, Geneseo NY.
After college Betty settled in Warsaw, NY where she taught in the Warsaw Central School for 32 years. As a high school teacher, she valued the education of her students; Betty loved teaching and undertook being the Advisor for the Year Book for many years at Warsaw Central. Upon retirement she returned to Beach Lake to live with and care for her mother. Betty was a very caring and giving person.
Betty enjoyed traveling and did so quite extensively throughout her lifetime. She embraced life and lived it to the fullest extent in her chosen lifestyle. Dearest to her heart was the Beach Lake United Methodist Church where she was a lifetime member and very faithful in fulfilling her offices and positions held over the years. As a member of the United Methodist Women, she was always willing to serve in any capacity. She was very dedicated to her church and its ministry.
Betty was initiated into The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International on May 6, 1971. She was initiated into the Beta Gamma Chapter and upon her retirement in 1995, she moved from Warsaw, NY to Beach Lake, PA and transferred her membership to the Tau Chapter. She was active in both chapters, serving as Chapter President of Beta Gamma, plus she was Corresponding Secretary, Parliamentarian and Recording Secretary; during her years in Beta Gamma, she served on every chapter committee. She also served on several chapter committees in Tau Chapter and was presently Scrapbook/Historical Records Chair. At the state level of the society, she served on the following committees: Scholarship, Finance, and Audit. She chaired at the state level Travel and Study, and Awards. Betty attended numerous International and Regional Conventions through the years of her membership. At the time of her passing, she was serving on the 2012 International Steering Committee that just took place in New York City this July 24-28, 2012. Key phrases that come to mind in describing Betty's membership in DKG is her devotion that was given to the Society and the great portion of her time, talents and guidance given both to new members and older members. She was the epitome of a DKG member both in being a mentor, friend, and guardian of all the Society held dear to herself.
She was also a very avid and active member of the Beach Lake Fire Company Auxiliary; she worked very hard to make sure their fund raisers were successful. Her membership in the Tusten Senior Citizens spanned many years in which she helped with their luncheons, played cards, helped with activities, and for several years wrote a column in The River Reporter about the group's meetings and activities. She was a member of the Wayne County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary and volunteered for 27 years in the business office of Wayne Memorial Hospital.
Added to her many interests in life she also enjoyed fishing in her younger years, remained an avid sports fan throughout her lifetime, a very competitive card player, enjoyed antiquing, holiday decorating, crocheting, knitting, sewing and other handcrafts. Her hand crafted entries in the Wayne County Fair over the years took many Blue Ribbons. She lived a very full, interesting and satisfying life. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends, but we can take joy in knowing she laid aside all of her earthly tasks and concerns, as she stepped into the presence of her Lord and heard, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." Betty dear, bask in the love and holy presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.
A memorial service will be held at the Beach Lake United Methodist Church, August 11, 2012 at 11 a.m. A luncheon will be served in the church hall following the service. Donations may be made in memory of Betty to the Beach Lake United Methodist Church, PO Box 387, Beach Lake, PA 18405.

Final Rule: June 21, 2010
Effective Date: Dec. 21, 2010
Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (''CPSIA'') requires CPSC to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. These standards are to be ''substantially the same as'' applicable voluntary standards or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission concludes that more stringent requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product. The Commission is issuing a safety standard for infant walkers in response to the direction under section 104(b) of the CPSIA.

as here frill mentioned, yes they are dead, I was just listening audiobook of WWZ,The Battle of the Yonkers part, and he described zombies as a slow mass of undead bodies,long several miles and the only way how they could be killed was destroying the brain,however in trailer it seems they die when they just shot them in the chest or somewhere else...

I'm sorry to tell you, they are dead.. can't stand running dead zombies. In the book "world war z", the don't turn into zombies until they reanimate, the sick and infested try to hide that they have been bitten. Was looking forward to this movie, it could have been the best, but then Max Brooks decided to suck Paramount's cock.

- Title
- Dynamic modeling of superresolution photoinduced-inhibition nanolithography
- Author(s)
- Gan, Zongsong; Cao, Yaoyu; Jia, Baohua; Gu, Min
- Abstract
- A dynamical model based on the photo-physics and photochemistry processes for superresolution photoinduced-inhibition nanolithography (SPIN) under both single-photon and two-photon excitation is developed and validated by experimental results. Numerical simulation results for the dot fabrication predict that the theoretical single dot size can be infinitely reduced, which shows diffraction-unlimited feature of the SPIN. A small reaction constant of the inhibitor polymerization is crucial to realize a small dot size and high resolution. It is discovered both theoretically and experimentally that the dot minimum size and best resolution occur under different inhibition beam powers because of the influence from the inhibitor polymerization. Moreover, due to the consumption of the photo-inhibitor molecules in the inhibition process, the dot size may vary during the sequential fabrication.

Good Morning from Darlington.....Pit Stalls
Races, tracks, drivers and all the drama that comes along with it
racer1 wrote:Thanks for the pit stalls. Once again Iam wondering who on the team picks the stalls & why? Example Annett in the #7 chose the 6th stall & the 17th chose the 4th stall close to exiting, when Tony or Kurt could have chose those as they out qualified them?
Therefore when they qualify well enough to pick a better stall, what do they consider a good stall?
1--First in maybe or first exiting as with Pole setter usually?
2--a stall where no other driver is in front of them for a fast exit may be a preferred choice?
3--a stall whereby the driver(s) in front or behind them may go a lap down early?
4--a stall closer to their parts trailer?
Course when they pick a stall early they may not always know who will be in front or behind them at the time??
Oh well, a little bored waiting for the race tonight or late afternoon here on the west coast to start.
ndunn wrote:I believe in most cases it's the crew chief with a voice from the driver that picks the pit stop. I got my info from someone who posted it here on SHR. If that is wrong info I'll never believe anything posted. #1 hasn't always belonged to the pole sitter. Does anyone remember when Jeff Gordon was awarded that prize as part of the perks he got for a championship? I don't remember if he had that for all his championships but NASCAR changed that. My guess would be not everyone who drives was happy with not being able to get #1 when they won the pole. Matt Kenseth liked the very last pit stop when he raced for Roush but that hasn't continued with Gibbs racing. Maybe his crew chief didn't like last place.

Lawnmower Safety
By Health Day
If you're just revving up your lawn mower for the season...and hope your kids can take over the job...here are a few safety reminders from our friends at American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
-Children should be at least 12 before operating a push lawn mower, and 16 to operate a driving lawn mower.
-Sturdy shoes are a necessity. No sandals or flimsy sneakers.
-Always wear protective eye wear. Polycarbonate is preferred.
Once you're dressed and ready to roll...
-start with a site survey to make sure there are no rocks, sticks or toys that can be hit and fly up at you.
-don't let young children ride along if you're using a riding mower.
-Don't mow backward or in reverse, especially if you can't see what's behind you. If you're on a hill, travel up and down, not sideways.
-And always turn offÊthe mower off before emptying the grass bag.
More than 234,000 people were treated for lawn mower-related injuries in a clinic or emergency department, or were admitted to the hospital in 2012. More than 17,900 of them were children under age 18.

This epic, orchestral cinematic cue is just ideal for any kind of product/game trailer/opener. Great to make an announcement, promising "Something Big" or just any other kind of trailer, showreel, slide show or any youtube video. A suspenseful synth intro, then a boom followed by a typical string spiccato/staccato, then a short break and the piece is growing into a percussive bed, accompanied by a memorable brass (Horns) melody and a great end part with some wonderful epic choir. After the final hit you will find some seconds to show your logo, product or something like that.

Carlinville West Elementary
teacher to receive
October 16, 2000
Further information, call:312/814-3490
Springfield – Most people don't wait 17 years to decide what they want to be when they grow up.
Bobbi Klaus, a teacher of eight years at Carlinville's West Elementary School isn't like most people, though. She is an exceptionally unique person in many ways, not the least of which is that she decided to become a teacher after 17 years in another, completely unrelated career.
But Klaus is also unique in that she is one of three Illinois teachers named Milken National Educator Award recipients. Each winner will receive $25,000 from the Milken Family Foundation, which they can use for any purpose.
The award is given annually to teachers demonstrating exemplary teaching skills and personal commitment to education. This year, 145 teachers in 42 states will receive Milken awards. To date the Milken Family Foundation has honored 1,647 teachers, distributing $41.2 million, including $3.6 million this year.
Klaus truly fits the Milken mold.
"One of (Klaus') foremost qualities is her ability to continually and nonverbally express her love of teaching, love of learning and the love she demonstrates for her students," wrote West Elementary Principal Bill Alexander in a letter nominating Klaus for another award.
"These emotions lead to community support, increased staff effectiveness, higher school morale and a shared pride among all students and staff toward West School," Alexander wrote. "To students this translates to true personal achievement."
Klaus is a self-described "late bloomer."
Long harboring a dream to teach, Klaus said she simply got caught up in everyday living, including marriage, raising two pre-teen daughters and holding down her full-time job as an administrative assistant for the local health department.
But successfully completing a computer training course convinced Klaus that returning to school wouldn't be so bad. She dove back into her own education, while still working full-time. Klaus graduated summa cum laude from Blackburn College in 1992 – at the age of 42.
She hit her new career running as a Chapter 1 math teacher with the Carlinville School District. In her first two years as a specialized math teacher, Klaus and her teaching partner developed and implemented a six-week family math program.
But, she said the fun and fulfillment really started in 1994 when she took on her own fifth-grade classroom. In that role she worked with the State Board of Education's pilot of a program called "Near and Far Science."
That experience let her meet many of Illinois' top scientists, and to win a $10,000 Toyota Tapestry grant in 1998. Using the grant to buy technology and field experiences for her rural student population, Klaus was named the district's "Teacher of the Year" in May 1998.
This past summer, Klaus and eight other Illinois elementary teachers took part in the "Space Science for Illinois Teachers" program. They spent a week at the Goddard Space Center and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland/Washington D.C., learning from scientists involved in unmanned space exploration.
They will mentor other teachers statewide this school year and will encourage teachers to utilize NASA's vast resources for classroom instruction.
Remembering back to that day when she decided to pursue teaching, Klaus said she recalls thinking, "If I was going to take classes, I might as well go after something I truly desired."
Her students, fellow educators and community are glad she did.
Also receiving Milken award earlier this month were Elizabeth (Betty) J. Du Pre', the school administrator for the Donald C. Parker Early Education Center in Machesney Park, near Rockford, and Salvador Tamayo, a 4th, 5th and 6th-grade bilingual teacher at West Chicago's Turner Elementary School.

Custodians of history; Living in a 200-year-old house
"Have you noticed any ghosts?" seems like a fair question to put to the residents of a house that has spent 200 years providing shelter and comfort to a veritable pageant of generations. Eight years ago, John and Dawn Harvey fell in love with and purchased the historical Wilmot House, also known as the Solomon Moore House, on Old Wayne Street in Bethany, PA. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its fame as the birthplace of David Wilmot, author of the Wilmot Proviso, a document that is widely credited with being the forerunner of the 13th Amendment. (See: legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Wilmot+Proviso)
"John loves the history of this house," Dawn explains. "I love the architecture, the way it feels connected to the past."
The flagstone front steps; the fieldstone foundation; original handmade windows of Bethany Glass, tiny bubbles and waves observable in the windowpanes; and the stonework flowerbeds all conspire to create that connection to the past. Master carpenter John Gustin built the house in 1811 for Solomon Moore, who added a single-story addition for his store and the borough's first post office. In 1814, Randall and Mary Wilmot bought the house from Moore and lived there for several years.
The dark red, wood-sided house, with its handsome, black shutters, sits on one acre of lawn, which expands into the back yard past a roofed porch and beds of flowering bulbs and perennials. Beyond the period-style garage/studio, erected by previous owner Alex Baker, the lawn gently rolls to the forest's edge. The original stone (dug) well is still on the property, complete with roof, rope and bucket. The well covering was rebuilt to match pictures from the 1930s.
"Actually, this well came in very handy when we had the hurricane and had no power and, of course, no water," said John.
As we round the house to enter the front door, the Harveys' gray cat poses beneath a carved and painted wooden sign above an entrance to the cellar, the house's original kitchen. "The Old Abolitionist" announces the sign, a pointed reference to its most famously honored, previous historical resident. Now dubbed "The Pub" by the Harveys, it currently serves as a meeting place for John's book club.
The front entrance is a comfortable distance from the road and a short distance away from a hitching post—a tall, headstone-shaped rock with a metal ring attached. "It has been said," offers Dawn, "that when the five daughters of a previous owner were growing up, you might see five horses tied to this ring at one time, all prospective suitors coming to visit."

"Urban Zen" and homeopathy at Beth Israel Medical Center, or: Dr. Gorski destroys his chances of ever being invited to join the faculty at BIMC or the Albert Einstein College of Medicine
I guess I never really wanted to work in Manhattan anyway. At least, that's what I keep telling myself.
I mean, why on earth would I want to? What's the attraction? Living in the heart of it all, all those shows and all those amazing cultural activities, all those world-class restaurants? Being close to Boston, Philadelphia, and other cool East Coast cities, which are all just a quick Acela train ride away? Who cares about those things, anyway?
Apparently I don't, because I'm about to destroy my chances of working at what has been considered one of the premiere academic hospitals in New York City, specifically Beth Israel Medical Center, an academic affiliate of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. It's possible for me to have been ignored when I first included the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and its affliated Continuum Center for Health & Healing in my roll call of shame as a medical center that has not just added woo to its offerings, but actively embraced it. At the time I originally discovered it, though, its offerings seemed limited to fairly mild woo, the usual stuff like acupuncture, what I like to call "gateway modalities" that centers embrace first because they're relatively tame and commonplace. All too commonly, though, dabbling in gateway modalities leads to the "hard stuff," outright quackery with zero scientific basis like homeopathy, reflexology, and craniosacral therapy. Such is the pathway an academic medical center follows when it degenerates from science-based medicine to what Dr. R. W. famously dubbed "quackademic medicine," usually driven by a few famous true believers, which, alas, is exactly what happened at fearless leader Steve Novella's institution of Yale, thanks to Dr. David Katz and his "more fluid concept of evidence."
In any case, last week, I realized that I've been completely neglecting the aforementioned roll call of shame. Perusing it, I now realize that it's been over five months since I did a significant update to it. You just know that, given the rate of infiltration of unscientific medical practices into medical academia as seemingly respectable treatment modalities that there must be at least several new additions to this roll of shame. Alas, even today, having been shamed myself by the realization of my failure to keep the list updated, I'm not going to do the full update and revamping that the Roll Call of Quackademic Medicine cries out for. However, that doesn't mean I can't do a piecemeal addition here and there. That doesn't mean I can't point out new additions as they pop up, even if it takes me a while to find the time to give the list the facelift it cries out for. It doesn't mean I can't call out hospitals like Beth Israel when they fall into woo, especially when they dive into quackademic medicine in a big way for cancer patients.

Medicare And Medicaid At 50
Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on July 30, 1965 in a bipartisan effort to provide health insurance coverage for low-income, disabled, and elderly Americans. In their 50 year history, each of these programs has come to play a key role in providing health coverage to millions of Americans today and make up a significant component of federal and state budgets. As major programs both in size and scope, their role and the ways in which they operate are often debated by policymakers and the public alike. As the programs reach their 50th year, the Kaiser Family Foundation conducted a nationally representative survey of Americans to explore the public's views of these programs, their experiences as beneficiaries, and their opinions on proposals for future changes.Poll Finding Read More

Usually when people go to visit a healthcare provider, they are feeling sick or something is wrong. In the world of Chinese medicine, people are encouraged to consult with a TCM doctor before something goes wrong so that they may be advised how to maintain their health, optimize their wellbeing [8], and prevent illness.
This is a lot easier to do if you are relatively healthy to begin with. Why wait till you are thirsty before digging a well? But most of us wait, often times to our detriment.
If you were to visit a TCM practitioner with a specific complaint, the practitioner would assess your situation in its entire context.
First, a typical TCM practitioner will gather data. She will listen to your story, as well as gather information from "nonverbal elements," such as your demeanor, movement, voice, bodily sounds, and complexion. She will examine your tongue, take your pulse and temperature, and then feel your skin, muscle tone, internal organs, etc, as appropriate.
Your TCM provider is working under a set of diagnostic principles that strive to identify imbalance. This imbalance is made manifest by patterns of disharmony (known as bian zheng). An example of imbalance made manifest might be a headache.
The TCM provider would look at the headache in a large context, seeking to find if this disharmony is caused by excess (like too much stress or activity) or deficiency (like not enough food or sleep). For more information, see What Is Qi? (and Other Concepts). [9]
Once the TCM practitioner has recognized the pattern of disharmony and made a diagnosis, she works with you to resolve the disharmony. The guiding treatment principle is to create harmony between yin and yang in the easiest and least invasive way possible without creating further disharmony.
In other words, the TCM practitioner seeks to remove what is excessive and to replenish what is deficient.
The focus is always on you, the patient, not the disease. As a result, the treatment strategy is highly personalized, taking into account not only your condition, diet and lifestyle, but your family situation, community status, and environment.
Your TCM practitioner can select from a number of treatment options and will usually employ a combination of several methods, ranging from acupuncture [1] and herbal medicine to patient education and lifestyle counseling. Some treatment modalities are used in the clinic (such as acupuncture [1], moxibustion [5], and therapeutic massage [10]).
Many TCM practitioners also prescribe herbal formulations for a certain length of time to help facilitate recovery or to maintain health and prevent disease. Click on the links to the right for more information about specific treatment practices.
In addition to the clinic treatments, you will need to practice most of the methods that restore and cultivate harmony at home and in your daily life. Such "home practice" methods include dietary and lifestyle suggestions [11], meditation [12], self massage, stretching, and various physical exercises [13].
To experience a visit to a TCM practitioner, do the activity called Visit a TCM Practitioner [14].

Hearing canceled for SpanosJanuary 30,2013Hearing canceled for Spanos
A hearing to weigh the evidence to hold accused murderer Alex Spanos in jail without the option of bail has been canceled.
Spanos, 24, pleaded innocent last week to a charge of second-degree murder in a case involving the death of 17-year-old Rutland High School student Carly Ferro.
Ferro was killed last fall in a crash on Cleveland Avenue in the city that police say was caused by Spanos who was allegedly huffing from an aerosol can to get high while driving.
Because Spanos is facing a potential lifetime jail sentence, prosecutors asked that he be held in jail without the option of bail until his trial. While Spanos has been incarcerated since the Sept. 26 crash on $200,000 bail, Spanos attorney requested a hearing that would have required the prosecution to reveal enough evidence to warrant holding him in jail.
But the hearing, scheduled to take place Tuesday, was canceled by Spanos defense attorney who withdrew the request for a hearing on Monday.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

Increasing Utility Security, Multi-zone Protection, and Awareness
The complexity and diversity of equipment used in factory automation and electric power delivery systems makes protecting against cyber attacks ever more difficult. Industrial and utility infrastructure comprises a diverse set of networks that cannot be effectively secured by simply "bolting on" technologies designed for enterprise IT. Aging assets, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), power meters and digital relays, predate the Internet revolution, and therefore are particularly vulnerable to attack and unable to report malicious activity up the chain. Hackers have grown more sophisticated and dangerous, increasing the need to improve the situational awareness of industrial IT and utility control centers, so they can more quickly detect and defuse zero-day attacks.
A comprehensive solution requires multiple products to create layers of security that operate together without introducing great complexity, degrading performance or impacting availability. This can be accomplished with Intel® vPro™ technology-based solutions and McAfee* software that deliver greater situational awareness, seamless multi-zone protection, native supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) support, and remote device management. The solution integrates a number of McAfee cyber-security products relevant in industrial automation and energy designed to protect embedded devices against malicious attacks. Moreover, device management is enhanced through the use of Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT), which enables network operators to gain full control of an attacked device regardless of its hardware or software state. Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) provides a layer of separation between applications running on the processor, thus helping to keep rogue software from infiltrating safety-critical applications.

Former News and Sentinel publisher to join Hall of Fame
PARKERSBURG – The late publisher of The Parkersburg News and The Parkersburg Sentinel will be inducted into the West Virginia Press Association Hall of Fame.
Francis R. Hollendonner was publisher of the Parkersburg newspapers for 17 years, from 1975 to 1992.
"I think Fran would be quite pleased and honored," said his widow, Carolyn Hollendonner.
The induction ceremony will be held Aug. 8 at the President's Reception during the 2013 Annual Convention Aug. 8-10 at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling. Mrs. Hollendonner will accept the honor on behalf of her late husband.
Hollendonner, an avid golfer and Pittsburgh Steelers fan, retired from the newspaper in 1992. He died July 29, 2008, at the age of 81.
He was a life-long newspaper man.
Hollendonner was a native of Jeannette, Pa., and a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard in World War II. He started his career as a reporter in Jeannette where his mother, Marion Hollendonner, was managing editor of the newspaper.
He was an editor at newspapers in Beaver County, Pa., and in Schenectady, N.Y., prior to becoming editor of The Wheeling Intelligencer from 1970 to 1975. Hollendonner became publisher of The Parkersburg News and The Parkersburg Sentinel in 1975 and became involved in the community through several agencies and organizations including the Elks, the Chamber of Commerce, Artsbridge, the Area Roundtable, the Blennerhassett Historical Park Foundation, the Red Cross, the convention bureau and Rotary.
In 2001, Hollendonner received the Adam R. Kelly Award for outstanding service to the newspaper industry from the press association.
Also being inducted into the Hall of Fame is the late Lyell B. Clay, an owner of the Charleston Daily Mail. He died Nov. 15, 2007.
The press association represents West Virginia newspapers. Among the highlights of the convention are the annual Better Newspaper Contest for reporting and advertising, a golf tournament, a discussion of the Affordable Care Act by Highmark West Virginia President Fred Earley and discussions on the Freedom of Information Act and managing 24-hour newsrooms.

Citizen prompts arrest for DUIMay 07,2013
Citizen prompts
arrest for DUI
staff report
MIDDLESEX A close call on Route 12 over the weekend prompted what amounted to a citizens arrest that ended when a Burlington woman was taken into police custody and cited for drunken driving.
According to Vermont State Police, a Middlesex man called to report he had just narrowly avoided a head-on collision with another vehicle while driving on Route 12 shortly before 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
Police did not name the man, but said he turned around, caught up to the vehicle and was able to get the driver, Carrie Peck, 39, to pull over.
The man allegedly told police he believed Peck was impaired and when they arrived at the scene she was taken into custody, processed for DUI, and released on a citation to appear at the criminal courthouse in Barre on May 23. Peck is expected to be charged with driving under the influence at that time.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

The ingredient line-up: rosemary skewers, sirloin, creme fraiche, Dijon mustard, basil, garlic, prepared horseradish, lemon zest, pimentòn, thyme and Worcestershire sauce.
Oui, Chef's marinade calls for a few big dollops of Dijon -- no holding back here.
Preppin' side-by-side.
The marinade ingredients all together -- it looked like some cool, otherworldly puddle.
After we whisked together the marinade, it emulsified much like a thick vinaigrette.
Amanda diligently zests a lemon. But what, exactly, is Merrill doing?
The horseradish cream -- lots of fresh lemon zest!
And lots of horseradish. (We used the full 3 tablespoons.)
Amanda's handy meat pounder did double-duty in this recipe as both garlic and pink peppercorn smasher.
So pretty!
Oui, Chef recommends putting the steak in the freezer before attempting to slice it into 1/8-inch planks. And use a very sharp knife.
Once the steak was sliced, we "painted" on the marinade with a brush.
Amanda makes sure the rosemary skewers will fit in our pan (we didn't have a grill pan, so we used cast iron).
Wrapping a whole basil leaf inside each meat roll is a nice touch.
Notice that Amanda is now solo -- that's because Merrill cut her finger while wrestling with a fresh horseradish root a few minutes earlier.
Wrapping the rosemary leaves in foil keeps them from singing in the pan.
Amanda cheerfully soldiers on alone. (Meanwhile, Merrill is drinking a Bloody Mary as she ices her finger in the background.)
Just a few minutes in the hot pan, and the steak is caramelized and juicy.
If these don't wow your guests, we don't know what will!
A feisty set of ingredients: grated horseradish, prepared horseradish, Tabasco, Worcestershire, lemon, celery seed, dried chile, V8, black peppercorns, Old Bay.
Horseradish, up close and personal.
Sort of looks like Beaker from The Muppets, right?
Watch out, Merrill! Public service announcement: Be careful when you cut through a big, unwieldy hunk of horseradish. Merrill is seconds away from clipping her finger.
Merrill (who we will hereafter refer to as Bloody Merrill) will be okay. Good thing Amanda is here to get her a drink!
Amanda sets to work, alone. Rinsing the vicious horseradish stump is a good start.
What really makes this Bloody Mary kick is the infused vodka -- layers of heat come from black peppercorns, dried chiles and ...
... a healthy, sinus-clearing dose of coarsely grated horseradish. Yum!
This innocent-looking stuff will prick your eyes and nose -- but oh, is it worth it!
Top it all off with vodka, a neutral spirit ready and willing to take up spicy flavors.
It starts off looking like this...
...12 hours later, it looks like this -- a heady brew (clearly, we did this the night before our shoot.)
Now the mixer: NWB cleverly has you pour seasonings directly into a V8 bottle as a makeshift cocktail shaker. First up: Worcestershire!
More horseradish! (The prepared kind -- this gives the drink texture, tang and more kick).
A model cocktail shaker. [Bloody Merrill: "Yo barkeep! Where's that drink I ordered?"]
We like that each glass gets a custom amount of booze (Amanda made this one strong).
Almost there....
Shake in some celery seeds and Old Bay and -- this is of utmost importance -- don't forget a generous squeeze of lemon.
Bottoms up!

"Where the bishop is, there is the community, even as where Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
~ Ignatius of Antioch (Smyrn., viii, 2) circa A.D. 110, laid down this principle on true union with the Church, versus schism; all the more impressive because his casual use of the word "Catholic" demonstrates the widespread acceptance of the term at a very early date.
