Small businesses running out of time
MONTPELIER The Vermont Chamber of Commerce is concerned that many small businesses will be unwittingly enrolled in state health care plans if they dont meet Mondays deadline for telling workers whether their employer-sponsored health care will continue.
Gov. Peter Shumlin earlier this month postponed the state-level mandate for individuals and small businesses to obtain insurance coverage on Vermont Health Connect, the states version of the online insurance exchanges required under the federal Affordable Care Act.
Current insurance plans now can be extended until March 31 because of persistent glitches with the website.
But the deadlines for choosing one of the available options are not part of the extension. For small businesses, only the weekend remains before Mondays cutoff. Individuals have until Dec. 15.
Were concerned that there are a lot of businesses that heard the governors announcement that theres a three-month extension available out there and are still operating under the assumption that they have three months to decide to do anything, said Shannon Wilson, vice president of operations for the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, on Friday.
That message has kind of overpowered the deadline of Monday, she said.
By Monday, businesses with 50 or fewer employees must choose whether to offer coverage on Vermont Health Connect, buy a plan directly through one of the states two insurance carriers, opt for the new extension of existing plans or drop employer-sponsored coverage altogether.
Blue Cross Blue Shield and MVP Health Care sent letters to employers last week outlining the available options. And the state chamber has assigned staffers to furiously work the phone lines to inform about 4,000 small businesses, according to Betsy Bishop, the chambers executive director.
As of Friday, though, less than 10 percent of the chambers small-business members had fulfilled the requirement, according to the organization.
Vermont has nearly 20,000 small businesses, most of them not members of the state chamber, but its unclear how many currently offer employer-sponsored health care. Vermont Health Connect spokeswoman Emily Yahr said Friday the state did not have a tally of how many businesses had already responded.
Any small business that does not respond by Monday will automatically be enrolled in one of the 18 insurance plans on the exchange that most closely matches current coverage.
Some may very well not be responding knowing that the default option will be enrolling in a similar plan, but the majority, most likely, either because they dont know they have to or they havent had time to decide, Wilson said.
Some businesses may not want to be enrolled in the exchange, she said.
For those folks, they may not be pleased to wake up Tuesday or Wednesday morning and find out that theyve been enrolled in a plan that they didnt actively choose, Wilson said.
The overwhelming majority of the 350 or so businesses that had informed the chamber of their intentions were choosing to take advantage of the extension of current plans, according to Wilson.
Thats proving to be a very appealing option just to give them more time and let the dust settle and figure out what they want to do for April 1, she said.
For some, the cost of similar plans has been the motivating factor.
We have heard from some groups who have looked at that, have looked at the premiums for the exchange plans and have decided that were they to be mapped to similar plans that their costs would go up 8 percent, Wilson said.
Theyre choosing to extend their plan because of that, she said.
So far, very few businesses are choosing to drop coverage altogether.
Weve gotten 350 forms back and only two have said theyre going to drop entirely, Wilson said.
Meanwhile, the Shumlin administration announced a fix for the exchange website Thursday, saying it would stop errors encountered by employees of companies that have chosen to offer health insurance on the exchange. Most of those employees were unable to select the plan they wanted.
Wilson said the fix appears to have worked and plans can now be selected.
As of last night we were seeing a lot of improvement, she said. Thats been much improved, which is good. Everybody now has a lot of catching up to do.

It's hard to not get carried away when you have a bag full of candy, but calories aren't the only thing you should be concerned about. Here's your guide to what candies could impact your dental health for the best and for the worst this Halloween, according to the Delta Dental of New Jersey.
These may taste good, but they are actually hard enough to chip your teeth.
Sticky candy can get stuck between your teeth and cause cavities.
Gummy candy
Again, sticky candy is bad for your teeth, according to Delta Dental.
Salt Water Taffy
In fact, the stickier the candy is the worst it is for your teeth.
Dried Fruits
Just because they're made from fruit doesn't get them off the hook, this sticky snack is also bad for your teeth.
Candy corn
These sugary kernels are loaded with sugar and actually produce acid that breaks down your teeth.
Sour candies
Sour candies also contain plenty of acid that can break down tooth enamel over time. Young children are especially at risk because their youthful enamel is still soft.
Hard candy
It's simple. The longer you keep a candy in your mouth the longer your teeth are soaking in sugar.
Sugar free candy
Sugar free candy assists in the production of saliva, which removes bacteria from your teeth, tongue, and gums.
Chocolate- Plain Milk
Plain chocolate, without nuts or caramel, dissolves quickly and doesn't surround the teeth in sugar.
Dark chocolate
Dark chocolate has numerous health benefits for your teeth and heart.
White Chocolate
It's a twist on the traditional chocolate, but just as good for your teeth.
Peanut butter cups
These cups are a kid favorite and dissolve just as quickly as plain chocolate.
Sugar-free Candy
Sugar-free gum dislodges food particles between your teeth.

The Associated Press
SANTA FE — Gov. Bill Richardson held a brief news conference Monday about his decision to withdraw his nomination as U.S. Commerce Secretary but refused to answer questions about a federal investigation into how his political donors landed lucrative transportation contracts.
Richardson read from a prepared statement and answered a few questions but wouldn't address a grand jury that is looking into possible "pay-to-play" dealings between CDR Financial Products, which won state contracts for $1.48 million.
The Democratic governor said he didn't want to jeopardize the investigation by commenting. He said he has "faith in the criminal justice process, and we must allow it to run its course."
Richardson has maintained he would be cleared in a grand jury probe. In deciding to withdraw from the Commerce post, he said the investigation would have likely disrupted a timely nomination to a top economic post.
"While this decision was a difficult one, I think it was the right thing to do," Richardson said Monday.
He reiterated that he had hoped the CDR probe would have concluded in December "with a clean bill of health for my administration."
"Yesterday, I was hurting over this decision," Richardson said. "I lost a Cabinet appointment."
But he said his attention will be on New Mexico and the upcoming legislative session and encouraged the national picture to focus on people who are losing jobs, savings and their homes in this country.
"That's the real tragedy. You know, mine is minor compared to that," Richardson said.
A senior adviser to President-elect Barack Obama said Richardson gave assurances before he was nominated last month he would come out fine in the investigation.
But as the grand jury pursued the case, it became clear that confirmation hearings would be delayed at least six weeks until the investigation was complete, said the adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity about the discussions because they were private.
Aides to both men insisted Richardson made the decision to withdraw and was not pushed out by Obama. But one Democrat involved in discussions over the matter said transition officials became increasingly nervous during the last couple of weeks that the investigation could become an embarrassment to Obama, who ran on a clean government pledge.
In a statement, Obama praised Richardson and said he accepted his withdrawal "with deep regret."
"It is a measure of his willingness to put the nation first that he has removed himself as a candidate for the Cabinet to avoid any delay in filling this important economic post at this critical time," Obama said. "Although we must move quickly to fill the void left by Governor Richardson's decision, I look forward to his future service to our country and in my administration."
Richardson ran against Obama in the Democratic presidential primary. He is one of the most prominent Hispanics in the Democratic Party, having served in Congress, and in the Clinton administration as ambassador to the United Nations and energy secretary. As governor he has kept up an international profile with a specialty in dealing with rogue nations. Obama also considered him for secretary of state.
The announcement came ahead of Obama's Monday meetings with congressional leaders on a massive economic recovery bill he wants passed quickly. Obama transition officials said Richardson's withdrawal would not affect the stimulus plan because the Commerce Department was not heavily involved.
State documents show CDR was paid a total of $1.48 million in 2004 and 2005 for its work on a transportation program.
In a statement issued Sunday night, CDR's chief executive, David Rubin, described Richardson as "an exceptionally able and dedicated public official, who was highly deserving of the opportunity to hold a cabinet-level position in the new Obama administration." Rubin also said CDR "adamantly doesn't practice pay-for-play under any circumstance on any playing field."
CDR and Rubin have contributed at least $110,000 to three political committees formed by Richardson, according to an AP review of campaign finance records.

I wanted to share my experience with you all on traveling without LO and BFing. LLL has a few stories/posts on this topic and although they were definitely helpful, they were more of a summary than the details and specifics I was hoping for. So I hope that this will help you mommies who will be (or plan on) traveling without your babies.
I had begun my research on this topic while I was still on maternity. Because my BFing wasn't going well at the time, I thought I would have weaned DS to formula by the time I had to take my business trip. I persevered and eventually BFing was a joy . While I was still on leave, I pumped and was able to build a freezer stash for my trip. I returned to work when DS was 3 months and pumped during the day and nursed as much as I could when we were together. When DS was 5 months, I panicked as my business trip was right around the corner .
So here is what I did….
Week before my trip (made my packing list):
(I packed [P] items with my pump and packed the [C] items into checked luggage):
Pump horns in gallon size Ziploc bag [P]
Medela cooler bag with ice pack and extra bottles [P]
Extra batteries for battery power source [P]
Medela Quick Clean Wipes [P]
Milk Storage Bags [P]
Small towel that smelled like DS [P]
Extra pump accessories (horns, membranes) [C]
Bottle brush [C]
Dish soap [C]
Medela Steam Bags [C]
Ziploc bags (gallon sized ones) [C]
Old hand towels [C]
Rubber bands [C]
I made printouts of the following and kept them with my pump:
TSA regulation on breastmilk http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtrav...n/formula.shtm
TSA regulation on ice gel packs for medical / baby food purpose (under "What I Can Bring")
American Airlines restricted items (the item of interest was dry ice. Depending which carrier you go with, you can go to their website for their policy)
Day before my trip:
I searched for the nearest UPS to my hotel. I called them ahead of time to see if they do overnight shipments of perishables and asked if they sold dry ice as well. I mapquested directions and printed them out. I also called the hotel that I would be staying at to reserve a fridge and a microwave for my room. They told me that since the room won't be assigned until check in that they would supply me with them when once I was physically there. I agreed with hesitation (rightly so as you'll see later).
Day of my trip:
My flight was scheduled at 5:15PM. I arrived at the airport at 3:30PM and checked in. I went through security without much trouble. They did a small wipe test on my pump and then passed it through the XRAY again before returning the pump to me. I was very appreciative that the security man was discreet. I waited until 4:30PM before I went to pump in the bathroom. I grabbed a bunch of paper towels before I headed to a stall. I had wanted to use the handicap one but they had the changing table in there and I didn't want to hog the stall in case someone had to change their baby. So into a regular stall I went. I placed a paper towel over the sensor so it wouldn't flush every time I moved. I wiped down the surface of the toilet holder with the Quick Wipes and laid paper towels on top of that (so I can set things down if I had to). I cleaned my hands with the Quick Wipes, hung my pump up on the door and tried my best to pump. It took a LONG time for letdown to happen but I kept smelling my DS's towel and looked at his picture on my cell phone. I consolidated the EBM into one bottle in placed it in the cooler. I packed everything else back up and left just in time to board the flight. Depending on the airport, they may have family restrooms that would make it easier for pumping.
My flight was 6 hours long (flying from one coast to the other) and I decided not to pump during the flight. I couldn't bring myself to pump in the airplane's bathroom after my experience in a regular stall. I was definitely uncomfortable but thankfully the hotel was close to the airport. I checked in and asked for a fridge and microwave and was told they ran out. I was quite annoyed when I heard this but I told them that I had called ahead with my request. She eventually was able to locate a fridge but not a microwave. I was waitlisted for it and they would bring that to my room once one was free (which took a day).
I got to my room and pumped. By now it must have been 7 hours since I last pumped and it was definitely a relief. My fridge was already cold and I cranked it up to max and transferred all my EBM to bags and placed it in the little freezer compartment.
I pumped 4-5 times per day over the next 4 days. The fridge was supercold and kept my milk frozen even if it was out of the little freezer compartment. I used the microwave with the Steam Bags to sterilize my horns and bottles once a day. My supply dipped a bit but not substantially.
2 days before departure:
I went to the UPS store and filled out all the necessary shipment information. I had to put down $20 deposit for the dry ice. The UPS guy said they try to get the ice close to the last shipment (3PM) so that it lasts as long as possible. I told him I would be back tomorrow by 2:30PM. UPS can sell you the dry ice if you decide to check in or carry on your milk. Just make sure you check your airlines policy. For AA you can check up to 5lbs of dry ice or carry on 4.4lbs max. It costs $40 either way. I'd figure I would just have UPS do it since it works out to be close to the shipping charges.
1 day before departure:
At 2:15PM I sorted all my frozen milk, wrapped them inside my old hand towels, and secured them with rubber bands. I place each "loaf" inside a gallon Ziploc bag (total I had 3 loaves). Dry ice is extremely cold and I wanted to prevent the milk from having direct contact with it. I filled two more Ziploc bags with ice from the hotel and packed everything up in my tote bag. I realized then that I wished I had packed a soft cooler to keep everything cold. It was a brisk 5 min walk to the UPS store. When I got there, the UPS guy didn't get the dry ice yet so I was a bit annoyed. He gave me the foam box to put my milk in and he placed the box into the freezer out back. He reassured me that everything will be kept frozen (after I asked and asked about the dry ice) and I paid the bill and left. It wasn't cheap to send the package overnight but my milk is priceless. I returned to the hotel, lowered the fridge temperature so any milk I have from this point on would be cold but not frozen.
Day of departure:
My flight was scheduled for 8:55AM. I arrived at the airport and checked in around 7AM. Proceeded to security and the XRAY guy asked very loudly what the "black bag" was. I said, "Breastpump and the little cooler has milk" just as loudly and I got a few weird looks but I didn't really care. I pumped a half hour before boarding (following same routine as above). Flight was delayed for landing due to weather and I thought I was about to die from not having pumped for over 8 hours! Finally made it home in time to see my DS before he went off to bed. My milk had arrived safely that same morning still frozen solid.
There were of course additional issues during my trip (plugged ducts mainly) but I'm proud that I managed to keep my supply going and all my BM while I was away. I am much more confident now that I can reach my 1 year goal. I know this post was WAY long but I hope it helps other moms who will be needing to travel without their LOs. I would be happy to answer any questions!

Hey all, I'm a returning player and I'm really interested in buying some i4s. I've worn a friend of mines pair and they fit just fine, which seemed to be the biggest issue, but one question I can't seem to find an answer to is this:
Are there any differences besides color between the separate years?

I think that the newer i4 comes with a chinstrap.
Posted 07 February 2013 - 09:26 AM
No I'm pretty sure they all come with a removable chinstrap. The only difference would be the color. Some of the first versions came with HD lenses though.
Posted 07 February 2013 - 09:55 AM
Excellent. I just wanted to make sure there were no quality differences.
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!
Posted 07 February 2013 - 05:50 PM
The 09 I4 didnt have these grooves cut into the lense causing chipping near the end of the i4's I have the white and gold I4's and my friend have the 2012 grey tigger nd the soft ears, and lense are the only things different.The soft ears on the 09 are more like foam but the 2012 they have a compressed cloth ear
Excellent. I just wanted to make sure there were no quality differences.
Thanks guys!
It is not my prerogative to please you.

I did a review of Ken Keathley's Salvation and Sovereignty: A Molinist Approach (Nashville, TN: B&H, 2010) in the Midwestern Journal of Theology 9 no. 2 (Fall 2010) issue. Below is the first paragraph of the review and a link to download the whole PDF version (with appropriate copyright information).
Molinism seems to be a mere drop in the bucket of theological thought with little attention in Church history. Ken Keathley's Salvation and Sovereignty surely brings hope of resurgence to the little known school of thought. With an exemplary effort to reconcile some of the most difficult theological doctrines. Keathley demonstrates amazing consistency in his pursuit for a Biblical understanding of salvation and divine sovereignty. Just as the Calvinist has his TULIP so does the Molinist have his ROSES. The acronym may be understood as "R" for radical depravity, "O" for overcoming grace, "S" for sovereign election, "E" for eternal life, and "S" for singular redemption.read more »

The girls came out determined to take the win and show their opponent what they were made of – true blue winners! The girls seemed to take Banquete by surprise beating them soundly 25-12 and 25-8. The girls had a great match with everyone serving well, passing and digging, setting and hitting, and communicating on the floor. This was a great effort on their part. Kayleigh Franklin, Landry Brand and Heidi Mathis led the team with their aggressive serving. Ali Katzfey, Carson Crisp, Kylie Wallace, Abbi Schuette, Kayleigh and Landry hit very well the sets put up by Lexi Foil and Heidi. Laney Mosley, Lauren Carroll, Allison Ruiz, Alexis Salazar, Maggie Upton and Hunter Smith did a great job passing and digging. This win brings their district record to 5 – 1.
The "B" team split with Banquete with scores of 17-25 and 25-14. The first game was filled with errors due to no communication on the floor. After regrouping, the girls came back out in the second game and performed like a new team – talking, serving, and passing much better. Nickole Gutierrez, Vanessa Rodriguez, and Farren Bottoms led all servers by doing a great job. Loryn Calderon and Monique Cramer did a good job at hitting and hustling on the floor. Other players were Lillie Bottoms, Alyssa Constante, Stephanie Castillo, Andrea Waggoner, Ashley Killion, Kimbra Fox, Logan Quinn, Dana Bernal Kelly Lillie, and Sofia Ibarra. These girls continue to improve every day in practice as they gain more confidence in themselves.
The ladies play Skidmore on Monday, Oct. 15th there.
8th Grade Lady Yearlings defeat Skidmore
George West traveled to Skidmore to play their next to last volleyball match for the season. They continued on their mission to grab the district title. The girls won in two 25-13 and 25-14. Landry Brand, Heidi Mathis, and Ali Katzfey led the offense with their aggressive serving. Heidi and Lexi Foil did a great job of setting for all hitters in game one, and Kylie Wallace stepped in as setter in game two doing a great job for her first time at the position. The girls were able to get many attacks on the ball due to good team passing and communication.
The "B" team also won defeating Skidmore 25-20 and 25-23. Maggie Upton, Monique Cramer and Sofia Ibarra led all servers to grab this win. The girls played their best game so far by communicating well together and hustling to keep all balls off the floor and in play. Great job, Lady Yearlings!
This win brings their record to 6-1, leaving them tied with Banquete at this point. They have Mathis left to play on Monday, Oct. 22. Come out and show your support.

To make these custard cups, you'll need: brown sugar, milk, cream cheese, flour, sugar, egg, cornstarch, raspberries and vanilla.
The custard starts with sugar, eggs, flour and cornstarch.
Then, of course, some milk.
After a few minutes on the stove, the custard thickened up beautifully -- silky smooth!
The "secret" ingredient: cream cheese!
Look at that texture.
Aren't these raspberries gorgeous?
We used six little ramekins, but you could probably squeeze everything into four larger cups if you're feeling hedonistic.
You want to make sure to nestle in as many raspberries as possible!
Picture perfect.
After a quick brulée, we sprinkled on the brown sugar and then popped them under the broiler again for about 30 seconds.
Little cups of joy.
The ingredients for the muffins: raspberries, buttermilk, egg, sea salt, sugar, creme fraiche, baking soda, vanilla butter and flour (plus baking powder, which didn't make it into the shot).
Concentrating very hard on cutting up the butter.
A river of melting butter.
After a few minutes, specks will start to form, and you have brown butter!
Sifting the dry ingredients is one of the techniques that keeps these muffins light and downy.
Don't you just want to dive into this pile of creme fraiche?
Folding the brown butter into the batter.
And then the dry ingredients.
Time to add lots of plump raspberries.
Amanda gets ready to fill the muffin cups (we lined them with paper for easy removal).
They're beautiful even before they're baked.
These smelled amazing when they came out of the oven.
A little butter never hurts...

A rare reptile found in urban Honolulu. An almost 3-foot-long Iguana was captured Thursday night.
The iguana somehow ended up at the Dillingham Business Center. A security guard on patrol said he was caught off guard when he saw what he thought was an unusual creature. It was hanging out by the stairwell before rushed it into a corner.
"I was like, 'What is this this?" This is not a local animal. This isn't supposed to be around, I knew it had to be illegal," said Gevin Vereen security guard of the center.
They are illegal, considered an invasive species that has somehow ended up in Hawaii. The Dept. of Agriculture says reptile enthusiasts likely smuggled in the iguanas. The population is established now on several of the islands. For about ten years they've started to turn up mostly on the Windward side killing native vegetation.
"They are plant eaters so they eat native plants. They eat fruits and vegetables," said Keevin Minami with the Hawaii Dept. of Agriculture.
The iguana found is estimated to be just under 3-feet-long but they are known to grow a full foot longer.
"It's kind of odd coming all the way down from the mountains up there. It wasn't really mean, it didn't react like the wild ones would," said Minami.
They believe the one caught could have been someone's pet. It will be caged up for now and kept in quarantine, and eventually shipped to the mainland. The fine of having an iguana here is $5,000. If you're caught with more than three it's up to a $200,000 fine. The Dept. of Agriculture asks you to report iguanas on the island by calling 643-PEST.

The optic nerve contains axons of nerve cells that emerge from the retina, leave the eye at the optic disc, and go to the visual cortex where input from the eye is processed into vision. There are 1.2 million optic nerve fibers that derive from the retinal ganglion cells of the inner retina.Optic neuropathy refers to damage to the optic nerve due to any cause. Damage and death of these nerve cells, or neurons, leads to characteristic features of optic neuropathy. The main symptom is loss of vision, with colors appearing subtly washed out in the affected eye.Optic neuropathy is often called optic atrophy,to describe the loss of some or most of the fibers of the optic nerve.Call: (011) 33635333
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies have emerged as a powerful tool for the discovery of causative mutations in rare Mendelian disease genes and are rapidly impacting genetic diagnostics. NGS technologies can be used in combination with DNA enrichment methods to generate deep sequencing of target genome regions, such as the exome or known disease loci, delivering fast, inexpensive, and detailed genetic information.
NGS coupled with genomic capture technologies represents an important milestone in genomics, revolutionizing the ways geneticists screen for disease-causing mutations in Mendelian disorders. This has shifted the focus of molecular analysis in human diseases from Sanger sequencing and array-based methods to deep sequencing of linkage intervals, candidate regions or exomes at higher resolution and greater sensitivity than what was previously possible.
Due to recent tremendous progress, current technologies utilizing NGS, based on shotgun approaches, are able to sequence in excess of one billion short reads in parallel per instrument run. It is interesting to note that NGS technologies are able detect all kinds of sequence variants in a single experiment, including SNVs, InDels and SVs, providing investigators access to a large spectrum of de novo and rare inherited variant (those with frequencies <1%) mutations, which are often omitted in standard genotyping panels.
NGS, combined with targeted enrichment and robust bioinformatics analyses, provides a rapid, cost-effective approach for identifying causative mutations and novel Mendelian disease genes.
