An idea for managing costs of your group insurance with a tax deduction
A HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement) can be key in managing the costs of your group insurance plan. The HRA is used specifically toward paying employee health care and medical expenses.
To be compliant with PPACA regulations, our products have Pediatric Vision and Pediatric Dental services embedded.
The HRA account is funded by you, the employer — you choose the pre-defined amount to fund. You also choose how to administer employee medical expense reimbursements. This type of plan is a popular option for reimbursing things like employee deductibles and co-insurance costs. Any reimbursements made to employees are tax deductible for employers.
Our programs include Healthy Rewards which is a program designed with the goal of encouraging your employees to make better health care decisions and become savvy about health care spending.
Capital BlueCross offers the HRA in conjunction with its High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) coverage.
PPO typically covers the services listed below Physician office visits for illness or injury Preventive care (routine physical exams, annual gynecological exams, annual mammograms [women age 40 and over], childhood immunizations) Maternity and newborn care Disease management for asthma, diabetes, congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease Lab tests and x-rays Physical, occupational and speech therapy Home health care Skilled nursing facility Hospice care Outpatient and inpatient hospital services Emergency care Medical supplies and equipment Behavioral health services Substance abuse (drug and alcohol treatment)
* Subject to applicable contract terms and exclusions
75 Years and Still Counting
Members in our 21-county service area have counted on us since 1938 for quality health insurance. Central Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley count on Capital BlueCross for excellence in customer service and our commitment to provide accessible and innovative health care products.

On the Road: Weather makes working easierSeptember 09,2013
The weather has been cooperating for the most part and projects continue to make progress around the state.
Starting on Interstate 89 in Swanton, St. Albans, and Milton there are three bridge projects and a ledge scaling project at the Exit 8 northbound on and off ramps, all of which will impact traffic this week.
Three work zones on Interstate 91 will also affect traffic this week. Paving projects in Newbury and St. Johnsbury will cause lane closures and speed reductions. Expect delays during commuting hours in each of these work zones. I-91 in Windsor has a bridge project that will cross southbound traffic into the northbound lane. In Brattleboro, both northbound and southbound traffic on I-91 will be affected by several paving projects. Drivers will encounter lane restrictions and speed reductions in all work zones. Motorists should plan on delays during the commuting hours.
Now for the rest of the state, we begin in the northwest corner. Route 78 in Swanton will have road construction that will lower the speed limit to 25 mph with concrete barriers in this work zone.
Between Montgomery and Westfield, Route 242 road construction requires a lane closure and a speed reduction. Delays have been reported in this work zone.
A paving project on Route 108 begins in Cambridge and extends into Bakersfield. A bridge replacement project on Route 108, near the new roundabout, is causing delays during morning and afternoon commuting hours.
Route 14 in Craftsbury is reduced to one lane for a construction project. Minor delays have been reported in this work zone.
Two projects are affecting traffic in Essex. Route 128 between Westford and Essex is being paved. This has caused some traffic backup during commuting hours. Meanwhile, installation of a traffic light and a left turn lane continues on Route 117 near Sand Hill Road.
The Richmond Park & Ride will see some earth work this week. Barrels will be placed in the parking area facing Route 2, closing off approximately 20 to 25 parking spaces for about a month.
Route 2 in Waterbury has a paving project going on. Some delays should be expected in this work zone.
Montpelier has multiple work zones during the ongoing district heat project in the capital. Streets directly affected include Taylor, Elm and East State streets. Upper Berlin Street also has some paving work going on that will slow traffic. Check out www.montpelier-vt.org/ for more information.
Route 100 from Waitsfield to Granville has multiple work zones that create single lane traffic signals and some delays.
Route 131 in Weathersfield has a paving project that involves lane reduction causing delays.
Vermont Route 8 has two projects in Searsburg affecting traffic. A sign replacement project and the installation of a new box culvert will reduce traffic to one lane.
Remember to put the cellphone down and focus on safety.

Media website awarded grant
MONTPELIER A Montpelier-based media outlet says a $75,000 grant will help create two positions as well as databases with an aim to increase political accountability.
The Vermont Journalism Trust, a nonprofit that runs VTDigger.org, was awarded a matching grant to help create databases and help fund full-time positions for a publisher and a database staffer, said the trusts executive director, Anne Galloway, on Wednesday.
The organization now employs five full-time staff and two part-timers.
The award was one of 25 for journalism organizations across the country. The Oklahoma City-based Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation distributed the grants, which totaled $2.8 million.
The trust is working to raise the matching amount, Galloway said.
The news outlet has not had a publisher previously. Galloway, who founded VTDigger.org, has split her time between editing and publishing duties.
One of the databases will be a new campaign finance database that can be a resource for reporters.MORE IN Central VermontBRATTLEBORO Brooke Shields gift list is sweetening a Vermont family farms sale of maple syrup.

Woodstock business man strikes plea dealBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | March 20,2013BRATTLEBORO Federal prosecutors reached a plea agreement with a Woodstock businessman accused of mishandling a New York business partners money to start up a new beverage business.
Paul Hendler of Woodstock is expected to plead guilty on May 7 to one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering, according to court documents released Monday. He faces up to 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines for the wire fraud charge and up to 10 years and $250,000 for the money laundering charge.
According to a grand jury indictment, Paul Brown of New York City invested in Hendlers start-up beverage company Java Pop Inc., a distributor of carbonated coffee drinks, which is no longer in business. Brown wrote out a $140,000 check to Hendler in September 2006 and Hendler deposited it into his personal Key Bank account for his own use and enjoyment, the indictment said.
The indictment also said $43,500 of Browns money went toward a down payment on Hendlers Woodstock property in November 2006.
According to the plea agreement, Hendler will forfeit his Woodstock home and be under a three-year supervised release and U.S. District Court will order full restitution to Brown in an amount to be determined.
By reaching the plea agreement, 12 other counts of wire fraud, defrauding investors and money laundering against other individuals and businesses will be dropped. All of them were separate from Java Pop Inc.s business dealings.
Green Mountain Digital, Blueberry Hill, Inc., Green Chase, LLC, Gigunda Group, Inc., Ryan Fitzsimons and Craig Creelman alleged that Hendler laundered, embezzled or illegally managed their money.
Hendlers mismanagement of Java Pop Inc.s money began in 2006 when he used $99,000 of a $100,000 line of credit for personal use and never paid back the $99,000 that he borrowed, the indictment said.
Hendler also purchased four vehicles for Java Pop Inc. salesmen, but the board of directors urged him to sell them off because of the companys precarious financial situation. Hendler sold three of the vehicles to the dealer that he bought them from and the fourth automobile was sold to a relative of Hendler, court records stated.
But according to the indictment, Hendler took the money he sold from the vehicles and deposited it into another personal banking account. None of the funds went back to Java Pop Inc., the indictment said.
Hendlers attorney Bradley Stetler declined to comment about the recent plea agreement.

June 8, 2010--Five North Central College faculty and administrative staff members are being honored for outstanding teaching, scholarship and service.
The College presents endowed awards established in memory of two North Central College alumni--Clarence F. Dissinger, Class of 1921, and his sister, Ruth C. Dissinger Althaus, Class of 1922--to recognize teaching, leadership and administrative service "above and beyond the call of duty." With the exception of the scholarship prize, awards are based on student, faculty and staff nominations.
The staff award recipients are:
• Peter Barger, a resident of Aurora, received the $2,500 Ruth C. Dissinger Memorial Award for Outstanding Administrative Manager. He was coordinator of North Central's 2010 Institutional Self-Study and led the effort to gain reaccreditation from the Higher Learning Commission. In addition, he is director of institutional assessment and accreditation, dean of graduate and continuing education and professor of economics and finance. He has served North Central since 1989 and received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois.
• Cheryl Horton, a Naperville resident, received the $2,500 Ruth C. Dissinger Memorial Award for Outstanding Administrative Support Staff. She has served as an academic affairs secretary since 2006 and received her B.A. in marketing from Pittsburg State University in Kansas. One nominator said, "She is very much the 'face' of North Central College to prospective faculty."
The faculty award recipients are:
• Heather Coon, a Naperville resident and tenured associate professor of psychology, received the $2,500 Clarence F. Dissinger Memorial Award for Distinguished Teaching by Senior Faculty. A faculty member since 2000, she holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. A nominator said, she is "one of the most involved professors that I have ever seen on campus with students ... one of the most influential people in my life."
• William Muck, a resident of Naperville and assistant professor of political science, received the $2,500 Clarence F. Dissinger Memorial Award for Distinguished Teaching by Junior Faculty. A faculty member since 2008, he holds a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado at Boulder. A nominator said, his "enthusiasm is highly unparalleled, always energetic and engaging ... genuinely interested and excited about the topics he teaches."
• Paloma Martinez-Cruz, a Chicago resident and assistant professor of Spanish, was awarded the $1,000 Clarence F. Dissinger Award for Faculty Scholarship. The award recognizes Martinez-Cruz for her manuscript, "From East L.A. to Anahuac: Women and Knowledge in Mesoamerica," which has received glowing reviews and is due in October. She holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University in New York City.

Passenger: Pilot 'did an awesome job'
Three Maui tennis players and the pilot survived an emergency landing in brush near the shoreline in Waiehu on Sunday afternoon, with one passenger praising the work of the pilot.
"The pilot was absolutely amazing to do what he did," Neil Archer said in a phone interview Monday. "There wasn't any other place to land – and that was not a landing strip. That wasn't even a field. It was just a place to drop.
"The pilot did everything he could, and he did an awesome job."
Archer was one of four aboard the small plane that landed about 50 yards off of Waiehu Beach down Lower Waiehu Beach Road. He didn't offer much detail about the incident but did say that the emergency landing occurred quickly.
"At one moment you're flying, the next thing you know you are on the ground," he said.
The Waikapu resident said he immediately called his wife after the landing and embraced and kissed her upon her arrival along the beach.
Archer declined to comment any further about the ordeal until after the investigation.
The Federal Aviation Administration released preliminary information on the incident, reporting that the fixed wing, single-engine plane suffered "substantial" damage in the emergency landing.
The report said that the 1989 Piper PA-28 Cherokee aircraft "force landed in a grassy area 3 miles from (its final destination Kahului Airport)."
Mokulele Iki LLC is listed as the registered owner of the plane and its office is located at 3440 Kehala Drive in Kihei, according to the FAA registry. Attempts to reach Mokulele Iki on Monday were not successful.
Ian Gregor, public affairs manager for the FAA Pacific Region, said that the agency and the National Transportation Safety Board are currently investigating the crash site but did not have any details on the removal of the plane.
FAA inspectors and police officers were at the site Monday morning, with officers securing the area until the afternoon, said Maui police spokesman Lt. William Juan. He said he did not know of any salvage operations for the white, blue-striped plane or how the aircraft would be removed from its remote location about a quarter-mile down the beach from Pakele Place.
Responding to multiple calls of a plane crash at 5:38 p.m. Sunday, firefighters from Kahului and Wailuku arrived at the scene to find the pilot and three male passengers uninjured. The men flying from Honolulu to Maui were returning home after playing in a U.S. Tennis Association mixed 18 and over sectional tournament on Oahu. Archer, an independent tennis teacher, said he was part of a group of Maui players that played in the tournament.

Suzaku Kururugi was actually the missing link needed to create the Atomic Bomb. Scientists were baffled on how to fabricate the weapon until Suzaku showed them a Spinzaku in real time. Everything soon became clear to them.
Character of the Month
Wendy Alexis Stalingrad
Wendy Alexis Stalingrad was born to parents of particularly low status in the Holy Britannian Empire. Her mother was a simple chambermaid to the Royal Family and her father was a low ranking soldier in the military. Her father was killed early on when the Black Knights first appeared and her mother was killed soon after when during the Battle of Narita. Sent to live with her grandfather, she spent the better part of her years with him, learning how to be a proud soldier of Britannia. When he too was killed in the line of fire and when the Black Knights finally emerged triumphant, she was left with nothing. As such, she didn't hesitate to join the Britannian Restoration League upon hearing of their creation to get a shot at payback. All she could think of was destroying Zero and 'restoring' her homeland. Now a full fledged member of the BRL, Wendy's specialty is infiltration and espionage and she is often assigned to go undercover in Japan for various reasons. Has a long standing rivalry with Reid Legato, Becca Buchanan, and just about anyone else that gets on her nerves. She is probably well known for her white hot temper and 'shoot first, ask later' disposition.

The businessman found the visit annoying and redundant. Then he was hit with the $75 fee and, to top it off, the fire marshal was packing a pistol for his inspection, because he's also a certified law officer.
Regardless, it sort of had the feel of a Chicago building inspector shakedown.
In selling the creation of the new fire marshal position, the Commissioners Court was excited about it not costing taxpayers money and promising that the move would lower fire insurance rates for Bee County by lowering the Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating.
Let's begin with the promise of lower insurance rates via the ISO rating. A quick check of the Internet finds that many insurance companies have dropped the ISO rating as a consideration in their rates. State Farm, for instance, quit using ISO ratings in 2001, preferring other, more exact data to set rates for specific buildings.
Insurance professionals we spoke with say it's unlikely Bee Countians would see any rate reductions from the newly created position.
As for not costing taxpayers money, these annual visits will cost businesses $75 a year, which may not be much when you're a commissioner and spending other people's money, but to businesses, it's just another tax.
Businesses already have a wealth of options when it comes to fire safety at far less cost. We, for instance, undergo inspections from our fire extinguisher company every year and update those. There's also the Occupational Safety and Health Consultation Program (OSHCON) housed at the Texas Department of Insurance, which provides full safety inspections, including fire prevention and systems, for free.
The court should rethink foisting another redundant bureaucracy on citizens.
At best, this move looks like it's taken from the California school of government overregulation and waste. At worst, it looks like the Chicago shakedown as previously mentioned.
There's a reason businesses are fleeing unnecessary, burdensome regulation to come to Texas. Let's not start mucking it up at the local level.
At the very least, reduce the fee to reflect the actual service provided, as well as the truth – or lack thereof –about cutting our fire insurance rates. Oh, and ditch the pistol on fire inspection visits. It's a bit over the top.

For Christmas of 1988, Santa Mom and Santa Dad took one look at my skinny body and awkward approach to everything and reacted the only way they could: They bought me a video game system. I was hooked immediately, and I remained wriggling on that hook for 17 years, like a trout caught on the line of the most patient and sadistic fisherman in history.
Then, starting in 2005, a combination of work-doing and kid-having slowed the button-mashing train down significantly, and I all but abandoned the gaming world for years on end. Recently, though, I've found myself playing more often, even though it's like stepping onto an alien planet where everyone understands the customs except me. I simply can't wrap my head around how ...
4 Games Will Play Themselves Now if We'd Like
Angelo Angeles/iStock/Getty Images
It's taken me a while to get back into the groove of pressing buttons until I find the one castle that actually houses the fucking princess, but I do remember some stuff about my gaming past. For one thing, I actually had to beat the levels myself. Even when gleaning unlimited lives and power-ups from my Game Genie (like a Game Shark, only its users now complain about loud music and achy hips), I still had to make it to the end of the stage all by my lonesome.
And I had to input the codes by myself, too! God, that thing blew.
Not anymore, though -- you can build an entire library of games that, in one form or another, will conquer themselves for your convenience. Want to make it to the next dungeon but can't take your eyes off the latest animal to go viral because it's an animal? Activate the self-play function, put the controller down, and let the YouTube party commence!
You can start with my current favorite source of happiness right here. You're welcome.
The New Super Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong Country Returns both have Super Guide features where, if you die enough times, the game offers to finish the level for you. Just toss your protagonists into the abyss until the game gets the point, and then you're free to run off and poop. You know those crappy parents who will gladly finish their child's homework if the tyke struggles too much? This is the same thing, only slightly less detrimental to humanity.
Don't worry about them using Luigi for the worst part of the game. He's used to it.
Another game, called Bayonetta, streamlines the process even further by including an Automatic mode, perfect for any hardcore gamer who finds "Very Easy" to be the most frustrating thing on the planet. Tell them to turn on Automatic and sit back as the game does literally everything for them. Now you're just ordering your parents to do your homework, which they'll gladly do because otherwise you'll feel bad and that's child abuse now apparently.
"Man, can you believe kids used to LOSE at these things? What a bunch of weenies."
Then there's Ryse, possibly the silliest example of all. It doesn't technically play itself, although it might as well. During the game's quick-time events, if you press the wrong button, or something shiny this way comes and you forget to press any buttons at all, the event is still successful. So maybe your parents didn't do your homework for you, and you bungled every question badly. That's OK, though; the teacher still gave you an A+ so you feel good about yourself.

3 Consoles Hate Us and Want to See Us Suffer
David McNew/Getty Images News/Getty Images
I enjoy a good machine every now and again, as long as it works. That's probably why I took such a shine to video games; from the NES to the PS1, every system I owned did its job every time, turning on without a hitch and activating the game with efficiency and a smile. The worst thing that ever happened was dust in the cartridge, but the "blow on it until everything's better" technique never failed once in the history of games. This is probably why almost anyone born between 1985 and 1994 blows on everything as a first, and oftentimes only, resort.

"Maybe if I shake it?"
Recent systems don't approve of such an easygoing lifestyle, though, and are intent on making it as inconvenient as possible to sit down and play a stupid game. Overheating, memory failure, the inability to remember how to load -- any of these things could come up at any time, with no warning or rationale whatsoever.
The Xbox's Red Ring of Death surrounding a green, sideways middle finger.
If you're the kind who loves statistics, eat this one: 33 percent of Xbox 360s will up and die at any time. Where's the fun in that? If 33 percent of the dogs in the world just randomly went crazy and mauled their owners half to death before feasting on their still-beating hearts, would anyone still own dogs?
And yes, this has happened to me on multiple occasions, even though I just started playing again recently. I had over 20 hours of Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time saved up, only to see it all disappear because the game failed to load one stinking time. Needless to say, I have not restarted that game. I may or may not be using it to chop vegetables as we speak.
Another reason I'm glad they stopped using cartridges.
And Skyrim? That game is beyond awesome -- well, the parts of it I could play are, anyhow. I got about 10 hours in before my system decided it didn't want me to have fun anymore. Seriously, the fucking thing just refuses to load. I've cleaned the disc, the disc tray, the jewel box, my computer screen because I had Googled "Skyrim" at some point -- anything related to the game, I shined to a sheen. Nothing. Because New Sony hates my guts. Just as it hates yours.
Bethesda Softworks
I've since convinced myself that battling fearsome dragons is incredibly boring, so I'm OK now.
It doesn't sound like the machines have sowed their rebellious oats yet, either. The new PS4 is just as bad, with the only real difference being which part of the rainbow they used. Meet the Blue Light of Dozing.
This is an indicator that the machine does not recognize that somebody plugged it in. You know, the most basic aspect of getting any machine to work? Honestly, going the fuck outside sounds real inviting right about now.

Hard disk drive (HDD) supplies in the first quarter commenced their recovery from the disastrous floods that struck Thailand in late 2011; still, a full recovery of production is still months away, with unit shipments not expected to return to annual growth until the third quarter, according to IHS iSuppli research firm.
"The recovery of global HDD manufacturing has begun and will continue during each quarter of 2012," noted Fang Zhang, storage analyst for IHS.
Due to production disruptions at HDD suppliers and at component makers, global hard drive shipments in the fourth quarter of 2011 fell by 26% compared to the same period in 2010. Shipments are set to decline by another 13% in the first quarter and by 5% in the second quarter on an annual basis.
The global HDD market won't return to year-over-year growth until the third quarter, when shipments rise by 2%, followed by a 49% surge in the fourth quarter as the industry snaps back from the previous shortage, according to analysts, which corresponds to plans of both Seagate and Western Digital.
On a sequential basis, shipments in the first quarter are expected to increase by 13%, a dramatic turnaround from a 29% plunge in the fourth quarter of 2011. Shipments are expected to continue to grow by 14% sequentially in the second quarter, by 11% in the third quarter and by 4% in the fourth quarter.
"The recovery will be prolonged for at least two more quarters, as supply constraints keep unit shipments from climbing on an annual basis until third quarter. Meanwhile, HDD prices will remain inflated and inventories will continue to be depleted, showing that demand is exceeding supply. Supply and demand should return to balance by the end of the third quarter," added Mr. Zhang.
Major HDD suppliers have shifted some production to locations outside of Thailand, which has helped ease the shortage situation. At the same time, some of the major HDD component suppliers have resumed a portion of their production in the country and have migrated manufacturing operations to other regions.
Western Digital Corp. (WDC), the HDD manufacturer most impacted by the floods, has increased manufacturing in other countries, and is expected to return to full production by Q3 2012. Toshiba Corp., which also was hit hard by the disaster, has boosted its production in other countries as well.
However, given the magnitude of the disaster, these moves have been insufficient to make up for the shortfall in production so far. In anticipation of supply constraints, the global average selling price (ASP) for HDDs soared by 28% in the fourth quarter. While prices will decline by 3% in the first quarter and by 9% in the second quarter, they will remain inflated above 2011 levels throughout 2012.
"Prices will remain high for a number of reasons, including the higher costs associated with the relocation of production, as well as higher component costs because of flooding impacts among component makers. Furthermore, PC brands have signed annual contacts with HDD makers that have locked them into elevated pricing deals for the rest of the year," said Mr. Zhang.
Given the two megamergers between Seagate/Samsung and WDC/Hitachi GST, IHS expects the HDD industry could hold prices higher than pre-flood levels for a few more quarters because there are fewer competitors in the market.

July 31, 2013 —
ALBANY, NY — In New York State it is illegal to use a cell phone or send a text or an email while driving, and if a driver does use a cell phone, he or she may be fined. The amount of the fine was increased as of July 26.
For a first offense, the minimum fine is $50 and maximum is now $150. For a second offense committed within 18 months, the minimum is $50 and the maximum is $200. For a third or subsequent offense, the minimum is $50 and the maximum is $400.
The increases were approved by lawmakers as part of the budget process, and are part of Governor Cuomo's campaign against distracted driving.
"Distracted driving has become a frightening epidemic on our roadways, and fines are an important tool to punish and prevent this reckless behavior," Governor Cuomo said. "Combined with stronger penalties on your license and increased enforcement, these increased fines will send a tough message to all drivers that distracted driving is a serious problem with serious consequences. Using a multi-pronged approach to combat this dangerous habit will make drivers think twice before using their cell phones behind the wheel. As New York's law enforcement patrols our highways and roads this summer, we are warning drivers: don't text-and-drive or you will pay for it."
This summer, at the governor's direction, the New York State Police are undertaking a major crackdown on distracted driving. The up to $1 million effort consists of significantly increased enforcement and patrols, particularly through undercover operations using unmarked state police sport utility vehicles to catch drivers who are violating the law.
In a New York Times blog on July 24, Ray LaHood, the former secretary of the U. S. Department of Transportation, compared cell phones to alcohol. "The problem in America is our cell phones are, in a sense, like alcohol. We're hooked on them and can't put them down when behind the wheel of the car, when we're driving," Mr. LaHood said. "We're hooked on these devices and can't put them down, anyplace, anytime, anywhere."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as of December 2012, Americans were sending 171.3 billion text messages every month, and at any given daylight moment across America, approximately 660,000 drivers are using cell phones or manipulating electronic devices while driving, a number that has held steady since 2010.
In 2011, 3,331 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver, and an additional, 387,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes
According to information posted on www.distraction.gov [2], laws regarding distracted driving vary widely from state to state. Pennsylvania, for instance, has a ban on texting for all drivers, but there is no ban on the use of cell phones.
Mississippi has a ban on the use of cell phones and texting for bus drivers, and texting for novice drivers, but there are no bans on either for most drivers, and there is a state law that prohibits municipalities from enacting distracted driving bans.
Only two states, Montana and South Dakota, have no laws on the books regarding distracted driving.

BSC Student Sasha Richmond Participates as Exhibitor in Undergraduate Research Day at the State Capitol
CreatedThursday, February 16 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—Sasha Richmond, a student at Bluefield State College, participated in the ninth annual Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol in Charleston, WV. The event was developed to help demonstrate to members of the State Legislature and Executive Branch the importance of undergraduate research by talking directly with the students whom these programs impact.
Richmond was also among a contingent of BSC students to take part in last summer's West Virginia Idea Network Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) Summer Symposium at Marshall University. Her enthusiasm for scientific research has grown under the guidance of Dr. Tesfaye Belay, Associate Professor of Biology at BSC.
"When I arrived at BSC, I didn't know much about research," she recalled. "Dr. Belay was my advisor. When he learned that I was a Health Science & Technology Academy (HSTA) graduate, he encouraged me to give research a try."
"My experience really impacted my career plans," she continued. "I wanted to get involved in some aspect of medicine, but didn't know at the time exactly where I wanted to go within the field. Now I know I want to be involved in research."
Richmond also sees the benefit of the experiences she has obtained through participation in WV-INBRE. "I learned that quality research demands a thorough approach. At last summer's symposium, I recognized that the quality of our research and our understanding of research processes and protocols really compares favorably with that at other schools," she observed.

- Abstract
- Dealing with different language and cultural groups in the food industry is becoming increasingly complex as new settler groups move into food businesses. This project involved the building and implementation of an intercultural communication professional development program for Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) in Victoria. The project highlighted that EHOs are faced with a number of challenges when implementing food safety legislation with culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) food businesses. This included working in a regulatory and educative role, balancing food safety requirements with realistic and achievable outcomes, and the need for more evidence-based knowledge about the safety of specific cultural foods and practices. Understanding the cultural traditions, customs and rituals was seen as a high priority to improve the engagement with CALD proprietors. The pedagogical approach adopted for the professional development program proved to be a successful model in enhancing EHOs' skills in this area. The project showed that a greater sharing of expertise, resources and collaboration on problem solving internally and externally in the local government environment would enhance EHOs' effectiveness. EHOs recommended that practical strategies for dealing with these issues should also be integrated into tertiary coursework in preparation for industry experience.

text: The Patriots will be playing in Chicago next season. We won't know the date of the game until April but that doesn't mean we can't start planning now. I run a club called Patriots Tailgate which is for Pats fans going to road games. Maybe a local can help me out with some of the logistics. Is there a lot of parking lot tailgating going on there? Or maybe there are nearby bars and restaurants that we could hang out for a few hours before the game and then walk over before kickoff? Which would work better? We also like to have a Saturday night party (night before the game) and if we can get a reserved section of private room we might be able to get some special guests to join us (former players, PFW guys, Robert & Jonathan Kraft, etc.) as we've done for past road games. If you are thinking about going to this game, please join the Patriots Tailgate Yahoo Group. PatsTG : Patriots Tailgate If you would be interested in helping organize and coordinate the pre-game and tailgate parties please let me know.

I'll ask my question first then give some background. I want to get recommendations on breastfeeding during the day but supplementing w/ expressed milk at night. I know this will be tricky and is not usually recommended b/c of difficulties of establishing milk supply and issue of nipple confusion. Given that, how do I increase my chance of success? I require at least 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I would hate to have to go directly to formula - so I'm trying to come up with some sort of compromised plan.
Here's my background (sorry so long, but I wanted to give the details): I will be a new mother soon and am trying to do some pre-planning. I have a medical condition where the normal course of treatment is medication with heavy duty meds. I have gone w/o medication for this pregnancy - and so far so good. However, I may be pushing my luck and don't know how long after the baby is born that I can go w/o meds. I am not willing to take these meds and breastfeed. I know that there is a list of meds that indicate safety during breastfeeding. The combo of meds I'd take would vary between an L2 and L4, I believe -but given the changing state of information on risks and meds, this is just not a chance I'm willing to take (I'm very familiar w/ research and science).
In order to avoid meds, I absolutely require good sleep. I plan to sleep during the day when the baby sleeps, but that will likely not be enough for me. Typically 8-10 hours of good nightly sleep is mandated for me. My doctor and I are willing to reduce to 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night w/ regular naps. I have night help - and could have another give a bottle of expressed breastmilk during those 6 hours.
Given those conditions, are there any suggestions? Given the establishing milk issue - I may be able to stretch things in the beginning and have less uninterrupted sleep. It is all a matter of possibly pushing my luck - but I'd be willing to do so for a short while if needed. I don't feel comfortable more than 2-3 weeks, though.
Any ideas?

Freedom New Mexico: Clarence Plank Joey Garcia, right, puts together a plate lunch Friday before heading to the kitchen to cook more food. This is the sixth year for the free Christmas dinner at El Rancho.
By Clarence Plank: Freedom New Mexico
Volunteers helping with a free Christmas dinner Friday at El Rancho Restaurant say the opportunity to help the community is more than enough reward.
Eva McAfoos has been serving the Portales community for five years at the annual free dinner hosted by the Garcia family.
"I used to work at the police department before I retired," McAfoos said. "I love coming down here and helping. We came out to eat and I started volunteering."
McAfoos serves the ham and turkey to people as they go down the line filling their plate. She also helps with the buffet.
McAfoos said the smiles and gratitude of those she serves is what she enjoys seeing.
Most of the 15 volunteers are family and friends of the Garcia family. Adrian Cota volunteered his time to deliver lunch to people at home. Cota's Christmas plans changed so he decided to help out.
"This is my first year volunteering," Cota said. "I had plans and they got canceled. I don't have any children here or anything. So I was looking for something I could do to give back to the people who come to visit my restaurant."
Cota is the manager of McDonald's in Portales and sees many of the people who eat at his place.
"I've made a couple of deliveries today," Cota said. "Things have been kind of slow, but we're looking to help those that are pretty much homebound."
The buffet had ham, turkey, red chili, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, dressing, cranberry sauce, rolls and a dessert.
Joey Garcia said he thinks more than 100 people came to eat.
"We've had a pretty steady flow coming in," Garcia said. "We haven't had a big rush yet, a lot of people are taking the food to go."
Garcia said volunteers include customers who want to help.
"They call and ask if they could come and what can they do," Garcia said. "I let the volunteers come and serve the community. I kind of feel in a sense that this is what they should do and have that interaction with the community they are serving."
Jerry Knoll of Topeka, Kan., was visiting his brother, John Knoll. This was their first Christmas dinner at El Rancho.
"I think the volunteers are top notch," Knoll said. "They have given up some of their day to make this a good holiday for everyone else."

Vienna councilman charged with DUI
PARKERSBURG – A Vienna city councilman is facing drunken driving charges after his arrest Sunday by a Wood County deputy sheriff.
Councilman Paul E. Thornton, 61, of 610 54th St., was cited early Sunday morning on West Virginia 14.
"I was recently charged with a DUI in Wood County Magistrate Court," Thornton said in a statement to the newspaper. "As this matter proceeds, I am accepting full responsibility."
The arrest occurred shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday near Boaz, according to Chief Deputy Shawn Graham.
Deputy Z.M. Schaad saw a vehicle nearly run off the road, go left of center and swerve back and forth in the lane, the complaint in Wood County Magistrate Court said. The department on Monday, in its release of the incident reports, said a traffic stop was conducted and upon contact with the driver, the deputy smelled a heavy odor of an alcoholic beverage.
"Through investigation, Thornton was determined to be impaired," Schaad's complaint in magistrate court said. "Thornton failed all sobriety tests and registered 0.163 (blood-alcohol concentration) on the Intoximeter during processing."
The threshold for intoxication in West Virginia is 0.08.
Thornton's speech was slurred, according to a report from the arresting deputy, Graham said.
"The report indicates he was cooperative," Graham said.
This is a personal issue with Thornton and does not involve the city of Vienna, Mayor Randy Rapp said. A conviction would not impact Thornton's ability to serve on council, Rapp said.
"There's nothing in the state code to require a councilman to resign if he's charged or convicted of a DUI," Rapp said.
Thornton was charged with driving under the influence and was placed in the holding center pending arraignment.
He was cited under 17C-5-2e of the West Virginia Code, a misdemeanor. The penalty for convictions of DUI where the blood-alcohol concentration is more than 0.15 is from two days to six months in jail, of which there will be an actual confinement of not less than 24 hours and a fine of not less than $200 or more than $1,000.

SXSW 2014 Roundup
The streets overflow with people. Scores of them – somewhere in the vicinity of 100,000 people are estimated. They've taken over every possible walkway, relegating vehicles to the outskirts of the proceedings. And then, there's the sound. It's unlike anything you've heard before. Drums and guitars ricocheting off buildings. Samplers, synthesizers, drum machines and voices careen off buildings and through the air. It can excite and overwhelm. What is this scene? The arrival of the apocalypse? Not exactly. It's simply the daily scene at SXSW 2014, in Austin Texas, an atmosphere charged with an incredible amount of energy and activity.
Every day, usually starting around 10am, coffee and breakfast tacos, a favorite in the area, would be served. Venues came in all sizes, ranging from the traditional concert halls to backyards to boats floating down the Colorado River. Shortly thereafter, around 11am, the queues would begin. At the most in-demand sites, such as FADER Fort, the site of one of the festival's most adventurous – re: non-genre specific – programming, the wait could reach two hours.
Inside, visitors could hit up the Converse booth, where they could hand screen T-shirts. Just across the way, Amsterdam's fantastic Red Light Radio invited artists of all persuasion – among them Connan Mockasin, Arp, Magic Touch, and Just Blaze to name but a few – to do live streams while filming the performances for a later date. Outside, vendors hawked their wares – food and drink, of course, jewelry, shirts, all manner of ephemera. Bicycle rickshaws offered pedestrians a relaxed mode of transport through the numbers. Artists shuttled to and from venues, sometimes doing four performances in a single day.
From 12-noon to 5am – the music streamed forth. The weather ranged from 70 and gorgeous to rainy and humid but the music never stopped. As in past years, there was an abundance of vintage punk and garage rock styles. But, more so than in other years, other genres and styles added a healthy amount of color to the proceedings. Certainly, there was more electronic music than ever before. WarpxLuckyMe''s excellent showcase at Empire Garage – featuring Kelela, Jeremiah Jae and Jacques Greene provided a sophisticated and intimate setting that few other showcases matched. DJ Rashad, the amazing, upbeat DJ whose performances on the Surefire boat cruise, and at Resident Advisor's excellent show (which also featured a fantastic performance by Jessy Lanza) in a Goth bar Elysium, provided highlights.
Hip-Hop was represented in its newest forms as well as its forefathers. The Def Jam 20th Anniversary party featured energetic performances from both past and present, among them, 2 Chainz, Pusha T, Method Man and Redman. Elsewhere, legends Mobb Deep and Pete Rock and young guns Future and Young Thug brought the heat, most of them at FADER Fort. Spotify House was certainly one of the more popular venues. Future Islands (who've been building an impressive head of steam) played there, as did other buzzy ensembles new and not entirely new such as Phantogram, Warpaint, and Real Estate.
Of course, it's impossible to take in everything the festival. There's just too much happening. Then again, that's hardly a bad thing. The best way to enjoy Sx is to take in everything you can, and see what happens. No agenda is the best agenda. One of the best things is that if you miss a group, the odds are very high they'll be playing again. The odds are in your favor.

Shumlin: Rail safety something to 'look at'July 19,2013MONTPELIER-Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says that following the rail disaster in Quebec, the state's tracking of what travels through Vermont by train is "certainly something we should look at."
Vermont currently has no routine inspections for tracks, leaving that to the Federal Railroad Administration. It also does not track the type of cargo that is shipped through the state.
Questions about rail safety have come to the fore since a July 6 accident in which a train carrying oil derailed and barreled into the town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec. At least five of the train's cars exploded and officials say 50 people were killed.
Shumlin says rail is important to Vermont's economy, but the state has a duty to ensure public safety.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

According to a November survey by Consumer Reports, nearly 193 million of us are holiday shopping this year. And if you've waited until this week, it looks like you'll be shopping in the ice, sleet and snow.
"Each year across the U.S. and Canada, major winter storms wreak havoc on the shopping plans of people preparing for the holidays," said Martin B. Tirado,executive director of the Snow & Ice Management Association. "Without vigilance, holiday shoppers run the risk of damaging their cars or trucks, or worse, risking injury to themselves or their loved ones."
SIMA, a national nonprofit organization representing the snow removal industry, has some tips on safe holiday shopping during a snowstorm:
• Check weather reports. Before venturing out to the local shopping center or mall, check the weather report. If it already has started to sleet or snow, listen to the news to hear about your local road conditions before leaving your home. If the roads are hazardous, consider staying home.
• Snow removal may not begin immediately. Severe storms or blizzards will often limit or slow snow removal efforts. Be prepared to trudge through an unplowed parking lot or street with the proper footwear such as all-weather or snow boots with good traction and by layering your winter clothing with materials that repel moisture and wick away perspiration.
• Understand the hazards of walking on snow or ice. Even in the most manicured shopping environments the snow often falls faster than the snow removal professionals can take it away. Therefore, sidewalks, walkways, steps and parking lots around stores may not be completely free of snow and ice. Keep vigilant when walking during or after a snow event. Be especially careful when transferring your weight from the sidewalk to the curb, particularly when carrying packages or small children. Extra weight in your arms can alter your center of gravity and affect your balance leading to a higher probability of a fall.
• Carefully enter and exit parking lots. Entering and exiting parking lot spaces create hazards even under normal weather conditions. But when the parking lot is covered in snow, it's even more dangerous. Piles of parking lot snow often create smaller parking spaces and barriers that are difficult to see around. Watch for pedestrians and snow removal equipment when you are driving in a parking lot. When walking in a parking lot, watch for vehicles that may be out of control or drivers that don't see you.
• Avoid getting behind snow removal equipment. Good snow removal equipment has strong lights but even so, never get behind moving snow removal equipment, especially if the truck is spreading salt or other materials designed to melt snow and ice.
A few additional things to remember: Parking decks can be hazardous because snow and ice can blow in through the sides and accumulate. And although the snow and ice has been removed, you still need to watch for melted snow that refreezes to create ice.

So long, Luna…Hello, Ronnie
As dismal as this weekend with the Cubs was, there's a ray of light in the Cards' trade of Hector Luna for Ronnie Belliard. If we were going to give up 1/2 of our 2nd base platoon, I would have rather seen Miles go, but I guess the Indians have better taste. I liked Luna and felt he could contribute at numerous positions, even if he was somewhat inconsistent. I just don't see a lot of fire in Miles. When he struck out with the bases loaded to end the game the other day, I wanted to throw something at the TV. I don't know much about Belliard, but the numbers sound good. It will be good to have some stability at second base from a defensive perspective, and it also sounds like he can offer the offensive pop we need. Now a deal for a new starting pitcher tomorrow would really make me happy… but at least this is something. Plus, Ronnie's got cool hair.
1 Comment
I was thinking the same thing when they traded Luna. Why trade such a "sound,utility" player like Luna? Miles scares me a bit. He does not have the range the Luna has and he is not as experinced in all of the positions. Plus Luna was used to the way other Cards played the game.

QB Keeper Overviews
Note: Ages are accurate as of midseason 2010.
I'm a little behind breaking these out, but I did want to wait until the bulk of the free agent action took place. I'll be busting my ass to offer similar overviews for RB, WR, and TE in the next 4-5 days. My goal's to have them all up by next Wednesday, so we can move on to the NFL Draft and our pre-draft rookie stuff.
Here's my take on the QB landscape for those in keeper leagues:
The QB position in the NFL isn't exactly bursting with young talent, so if you have a stud like Drew Brees (31), Peyton Manning (34), Aaron Rodgers (26), or Philip Rivers (28), then you're doing really well at this position in your keeper or dynasty league. If you're in a dynasty league or don't have any restrictions in terms of the number of years you can keep a player, Rodgers (who will be 27 in December) and Rivers (who will be 29 in December) may […]

Whenever I introduce someone to Joomla the first reaction is oooh, that looks a bit complex and in all fairness to them it is. It is daunting and your average non-techie isn't going to pickup the basics easily. Now i'm sure other web developers have heard the phrase "Can't you just turn it off" from project managers without any real knowledge of what is involved or the implications of doing such a thing. So I have created a customisable module which lets you hide non-essential parts of the Joomla backend.
I'm not saying this is a solution, but it works, it actually removes the HTML elements from the DOM if you choose remove, otherwise it just hides them (so expect things to break if you remove the wrong things). This is definately an advanced tool and shouldn't be used if you're unsure about what you're doing. Above is a screenshot of the Joomla admin panel simplifier.
As always leave a comment if you have positive or negative feedback, this will be the only release of this module unless a major bug is noticed due to it not being a "best practice" module and is quite hacky without actually hacking core!

Here Comes the Sun....
April 9, 1997
updated April 10, 1997
Check out the MOVIES below
for April 9th and 10th!
Astronomers have observed a giant eruption of material on the Sun that is headed for the Earth. Detected by NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), the million-mile per hour stream of particles is predicted to slam into the Earth sometime Wednesday afternoon. When these events reach the Earth, they can produce spectacular images of the Earth's aurora, or "Northern Lights."
The image above, when clicked, shows a sequence of four images taken by the LASCO C2 coronagraph aboard SOHO of this event on the sun April 7.
Scientists at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center will be watching the Earth's aurora in real-time with the Ultraviolet Imager Experiment aboard the POLAR spacecraft. "We expect some enhanced activity this afternoon," remarked Dr. Glynn Germany of the University of Alabama in Huntsville. The latest auroral pictures will be posted as they are received from the instrument.
The POLAR spacecraft instruments were turned off on April 10, for a scheduled (and necessary) twice-yearly realignment. Operations will resume on April 15, in the late afternoon.
