Who is eligible to make interlibrary loan requests?
UCSC faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students. Community patrons and UC alumni should consult with their local public library.
How much does an interlibrary loan cost?
Though we provide ILL services to eligible UCSC patrons at no charge, the cost of an interlibrary loan transaction can range from $20 to $50 and up. Please request only those materials necessary for your research, retrieve items promptly after being notified of their arrival, and return materials on or before the due date.
How do I request an interlibrary loan item?
The fastest and most accurate method for UCSC users to borrow items from other libraries is to use the "Melvyl Request" feature available in:
- Melvyl ... show me how
- UC-eLinks ... show me how
You may also use the Citation Linker:
An ILL request may be placed for an UCSC-owned item provided the item is currently checked out to another patron, is declared lost or missing, or is otherwise unavailable. Materials that are available in the Reserve Book Service may not be requested through ILL.
When an item is borrowed for your use, the lending library will determine the length of the loan period, indicate whether that period may be extended by a renewal, and/or stipulate any restrictions on the use of the book. For example, when lending a rare or valuable book, a library may specify that it must be used only in the borrowing library building or that it may not be photocopied.
80% of materials arrive within 7 working days. The fastest method for requesting materials is via Melvyl Request. Materials not available within the UC system take longer to arrive. In some instances, materials may not be available. This is especially true for rare and unique items. If items are requested during peak activity periods such as mid-terms and finals, processing time may be delayed.
Notification of Materials' Arrival
We will inform you by e-mail about the arrival of ILL materials. The status of your request may also be monitored at My ILL Requests.
Materials are held for pickup at the circulation desk of either McHenry Library or the Science & Engineering Library. Present your UCSC library card and photo ID to pickup the material. For materials delivered via the web, borrowers will be emailed with instructions on how to retrieve the item. Iitems will be held for 14 days or by their due date, whichever is sooner. Items may be returned at either library.
ILL due dates and other restrictions (library use only, no photocopying, no renewal, etc.) are set by the lending library and are noted on the strap wrapped around each item. You may also find additional information or restrictions on your ILL item by checking the request details at: My ILL Requests ... show me how.
Materials can be returned at either the McHenry or Science & Engineering circulation desks.
To ensure that ILL materials are renewed properly, please submit renewal requests between two weeks before and two weeks after the due date. Renewals may be requested at My ILL Requests. If you are having difficulty using this service, please use our manual renewal form.
What If My ILL Item is Overdue?
ILL books are renewable within two weeks of the due date. The item becomes billable when it's two weeks overdue. Please return all overdue items as soon as possible.
Items borrowed via Interlibrary Loan are subject to recall at any time by the lender. Patrons are notified of recalls via a courtesy e-mail, but are ultimately responsible for keeping track of the due dates and statuses of materials. Recalled items must be returned within seven days of the recall date or the item will be billed for replacement.
Your adherence to the borrowing regulations specified by the lending library are critical to the continued use of that institution's resources by this university. The UCSC Library subscribes to the National Interlibrary Loan Code of the American Library Association as well as to regional agreements. We also adhere strictly to copyright law.
Fees for Interlibrary Loan:
Though we provide ILL services to eligible UCSC patrons at no charge, the cost of an interlibrary loan transaction can range from $20 to $50 and up. Please request only those materials necessary for your research, retrieve items promptly after being notified of their arrival, and return materials on or before the due date.
It is very important that ILL materials are returned by their due dates. Items more than two weeks overdue will be billed for replacement.
The replacement/billing fees are:
- $125.00 minimum replacement fee, up to the actual cost of replacement; some items cost significantly more
- $20.00 billing fee (non-refundable)
Once you have been billed for an item, you will be blocked from using Interlibrary Loan and other library services. Please note that the return of an overdue/billed item does not guarantee a refund of the replacement cost, especially if the item is more than four weeks overdue. If the billed item is more than six months overdue AND/OR the lending library has already replaced the item, the replacement fee is not refundable. Processing fees will NOT be waived.
If you would like to contest your fees, please complete the Billing Appeal Form.
If you believe you have returned an ILL item that is still checked out to you (or if you are being billed for the item), you may initiate a "claims returned" by emailing interlibrary loan staff or by filling out a billing appeal form. Either action will result in a search for the item. If the item is found, all associated charges will be removed from the your account. If the item is not found, you are responsible for the replacement and billing fees for the item.
The following will NOT result in reduced/canceled fees:
- Failure to note due dates or to renew on time
- Lack of knowledge of loan regulations
- Disagreement with library or loan policy
- Inablility to pay overdue fees or other charges
- Failure to receive overdue or recall notices
- Unwillingness to take responsibility for materials loaned to a third party
- Appeals submitted 90 days or longer after the fine was assessed

The carefree tone underlying Matt Calcott's voice comes unmistakeably from a coach who knows he's going into a game with little to lose.
That is not to say the Team Wellington coach is treating tomorrow's dead rubber in the capital city against Kinetic Electrical Hawke's Bay United in the ASB Premiership with disdain.
When the game kicks off for the premiership semifinal qualifiers at 1pm in Newtown Park, Calcott will in fact be looking forward to carrying on that momentum into the semifinal against table-topping Auckland City.
"In our last three games, against Manawatu, Waikato and Otago, we've scored six goals in each match to win," he says.
But he is still mindful that playing lower-tier teams isn't ideal preparation going into a match against Auckland City.
Building confidence is one thing but walloping geeks, akin to back-field school bullies, isn't an ideal yardstick for measuring confidence.
"That's going to happen but we'll get a tough last game from Hawke's Bay.
"The last thing you want going into a semifinal is not having self-awareness on when you're at," says the man who won the national winter knockout Chatham Cup title with Miramar Rangers in 2010 only to come up to Park Island, Napier, to lose their next match 5-0 to Bluewater Napier City Rovers.
Eleven years in the coaching game does that to you even though the coach has five Central League (winter) and two Chatham Cup titles to his credit.
"Funnier things have happened so that's why we play the game."
Calcott's belief in the Bill Robertson-captained Bay United stems from the understanding that rookie coach Chris Greatholder has whipped the visitors into a respectable unit, after Team Wellington thumped them 6-2 at Bluewater Stadium on January 15
"Hawke's Bay's not that far away and Chris has done a great job since," Calcott says, adding Greatholder's predecessors have travelled south and "done very well".
"We have to put a stop to that," he says, comfortable his troops have "matured internally" to not fall into the trap of complacency.
In the bigger scheme, taking that winning feeling to Auckland to upset the favourites the following weekend will put Team Wellington into the equation of trying to secure a second berth in the O-League.
A victory will mean the second-placed Canterbury United will be the second qualifiers with Auckland to the competition involving other top clubs from Fiji, Vanuatu, Tahiti and Papua New Guinea to earn the right to proceed to the lucrative club World Championship.
The pain of conceding three goals in the last 20 minutes still rankles with the Bay, something Greatholder attributes to weeks of breaks before matches.
"We'll make amends. We've won six of our last nine matches so we'll want to carry that through."
Nevertheless, the Napier bank manager is resigned to taking a depleted team after a rash of injuries several players have picked up in three friendly matches.
"Wellington have stayed together and done the right things.
"Five to six of our boys have to travel from outside so we gave them a bit of grace," he says of the players such as Hamish Watson (Wellington), and Adam Cowan and Dale Higham (both Palmerston North).
Admittedly it isn't the strongest side but Greatholder believes he has enough firepower to give Calcott's team a decent run around.
The squad of 12 includes veteran Chris McIvor, who is also an assistant coach, and youngsters Luke Chapman and Rudi Bauerfiend although the latter remains subject to a medical clearance.
English import midfield lynchpin Conor Tinnion has a cruciate ligament knee injury while veteran Matt Hastings is nursing a torn hamstring, to name a few of the team's walking wounded.
"We'll just have to roll with the punches," Greatholder says of the Bay who have yet to secure a play-off berth in the eight-season history of the premiership.

President Obama Fails Americans Again
WASHINGTON – Today the Labor Department released their long-delayed employment figures for September. The numbers came in significantly less than expected: with non-farm payrolls adding only 148,000. The unemployment rate only fell because of the continued drop off in the Labor participation rate, which remains at historic lows—matching numbers last seen during the Carter malaise in 1978. Representative Tim Huelskamp (KS-1) believes this is another example of President Obama failing Americans.
Congressman Tim Huelskamp issued the following statement:
"The Carter-like policies of Barack Obama are having similar results. The President's job-killing agenda of over-regulation, over-taxation, and ObamaCare is clearly stifling economic growth. This data reflects not an increase in the number of jobs created, but an example of just how many people are giving up hope of ever finding a job and leaving the workforce. Americans deserve better than the same old failed policies of liberalism."

If ever there were an emotion or state of mind laden with apparent contradictions, it would have to be Desire. For one thing, desire harbors within it the seeds of its own disappointment. And though it's typically linked to excited anticipation, motivation, and drive, it's also related to longing, frustration. and disillusionment. Still, in its absence life for most of us would hardly feel worth living. And just getting up each morning might be a real challenge.
So what, finally, should the "correct" attitude toward desire be? And what constitutes the wisest, most instructive, and thought-provoking ideas ever expressed on this so-intriguing, double-edged emotion? This is the question that impelled me to examine close to 1,000 quotations on the subject—as I tried to make some coherent sense out of all the seemingly incompatible opinions that, over the centuries, have been voiced about it. Unquestionably, from the beginning the whole concept of desire has received "mixed reviews." And although it certainly includes sexual desire (a topic on which I've published extensively), the highly varied perceptions of it vastly transcend mere carnal, or romantic, considerations.
Additionally, in examining the huge assortment of quotes I found on desire, I was obliged to note how illogical, even self-contradictory, many of them were. They seemed simplistic or one-sided, arbitrary, biased, distorted, or overstated and exaggerated to the point that I couldn't see them as embodying any real truth about the subject at all. Although initially intriguing, finally they just didn't make a whole lot of sense. Especially the ones that, at first sight, seemed terribly clever and insightful but, on closer scrutiny, seemed to fall apart—weren't of any practical use in explaining desire's complex dynamic. And then there were the quotes taken from characters in fictional works, which might not reflect their authors' views at all.
I'll provide a few select examples (with commentary) of these "failed" quotes:
The Positive Aspects of Desire
The Positive Aspects of Desire
Wanting to offer readers a balanced perspective on the various delights, and dismays, of desire, I'll start by grouping some of the many quotes that regard it positively—as essential in motivating us to strive, overcome obstacles and persevere, so that we may become all we're capable of being. So consider:
Note how these quotes tend to link desire positively with efforts toward self-realization and transcendence. More specifically—though perhaps also more narrowly—the quotes below discuss desire as the key prerequisite to (worldly) success:
(And it's curious that—at least in our culture—so many of the quotes I found defined success in terms of athletic achievement. Consider:)
In sum, it would certainly seem that desire is the primal source of all motivation—that it constitutes the one indispensable ingredient of all human accomplishment. But even beyond these lavish tributes, many other quotes proclaim how desire is intrinsic to who we are. They persuasively argue that in the human species it's ubiquitous, global, even "generic." It's what makes us feel truly alive, the very essence of our vitality:
After reviewing all these distinctly positive quotes, it's hard to imagine that there exist at least as many quotes castigating desire. But that's definitely the case. Which is why, ultimately, it's so hard to arrive at any definitive conclusion as to how best to be "guided" by this emotion or mental state.
In Part 2 of this exploration, I'll focus on what, throughout history, has been said against desire. And, alas, I think you'll find these observations every bit as convincing (and reflective of your own personal experience) as the positive ones centered on here. Finally, I'll attempt to "synthesize"—or resolve the discrepancies between—the favorable and unfavorable elements of desire. Hopefully, you'll then be able to better appreciate the complexities, ambiguities, and paradoxes so deeply embedded in the subject.
NOTE: If you found this post illuminating, I hope you'll consider sharing it.

|SOW: Sami and EJ keep Rafe in the dark; January 12th issue; article summary

|No wonder James thinks it's brilliant. He's probably happy EJ is doing something that's so Dimera like after being the town idiot. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
|Jan 1 2010, 03:12 AM Post #62
I think it's is naive to believe that EJ doing this is not to get back at Rafe and Sami, now if this is not what you're saying I apologize, but that is what it sounds like your saying.
|Jan 1 2010, 06:35 AM Post #63
Bring. It. On. and while they're at it, I hope it brings back Scami Sami, and let's see how the Raferster likes the REAL Samantha Gene Brady! :rockon:
And I want Sami to take a walk in the shoes she put on EJ's feet.
|Jan 1 2010, 06:49 AM Post #64
How is what EJ's doing in asking Sami not to tell Rafe any different from Rafe telling Sami not to tell EJ that he was Grace's father before the Ejole wedding?
Both asked her not to tell a certain piece of information for what they believe are jsutified reasons and she decided on both occassions that she wasn't going to share the information. If one was manipulating her, then surely both were, as their actions are exactly the same.
Personally, I think neither did. She's a big girl and she made her own choices. No-one is to blame for what Sami does or doesn't do but Sami herself.

|As long as it's bringing out the Sweevil EJ, I'm all for it!
|Jan 1 2010, 09:24 AM Post #66
You're not understanding what I'm saying. I don't believe that EJ has any romantic motivations in kidnapping Sydney, i.e., it isn't to win Sami back. I don't think it has anything to do with him being jealous over Safe's romantic relationship, or if it does it's so tiny I can't see it, but then, I haven't seen anything passing for love or chemistry or romance between EJami in years. I think EJ's motivation is doing exactly to Sami what she did to him. I'm sure Rafe annoys him but Sami was the one who owed him the obligation to tell him about her pregnancy and child, not Rafe. Sami was already lying about her pregnancy and concealing it from EJ before she even met Rafe. The fact is that no matter how you slice it, no matter how much one might insist that Stefano is the reason Sami didn't tell EJ about their second child together, Sami didn't trust EJ enough to think he could keep their child safe from Stefano and/or she didn't trust that he would not be involved in criminal activities himself and/or she didn't trust that he loved her more than Nicole so that he would leave her. No matter what reason or mix of reasons one think motivated Sami, even if it was purely fear of Stefano, there's no getting around that she still would rather have relied on herself and then subsequently Rafe rather than enlist EJ's assistance in raising their child. EJ's not the forgiving sort and him having the opportunity to play tit for tat and make Sami suffer makes a lot of sense in context of his character. To the extent he forgave her in the first place I think it had more to do with the fact that both of them thought their child was dead and there was no point in constantly being at war when they still had one child together. Then the worm turned--their child was alive and lo and behold . . . opportunity knocked.

Paxton, I will vouch for you after reading your posts on various boards. You're hardly naive. :cheers:
|Jan 1 2010, 09:52 AM Post #68
LOL, thanks. I wouldn't have thought of myself that way either. No worries, just a conversation that needed some clarification.
|Jan 1 2010, 03:38 PM Post #69
I agree with you, for the most part, but I do think part of his motiviation is to break up SAFE, even if he doesn't want Sami back for himself, which I am not positive about. I think he would like nothing more than to make Sami miserable in every way, and if that includes Sami losing the man she loves, then I think he is all for it. But I do believe his major reason is revenge. He never really said he forgave her for Grace. When she asked him about it he said maybe, and he told Stefano he would never forget what she did.
|Jan 1 2010, 04:05 PM Post #70
No wonder James thinks it's brilliant. He's probably happy EJ is doing something that's so Dimera like after being the town idiot.
That I can agree with. I don't believe that if EJ is indeed "the mastermind" behind the kidnapping, it has something to do with revenge. If he is responsible, I think that he tracked down Nicole, had Anna take Sydney, then he heard Safe's comment about raising Sydney as their own, and that was the final straw. Go EJ!! Keep your daughter away from the wannabe dad!!

|Jan 1 2010, 10:35 PM Post #75
Not to mention that two-faced, hypocritical, glitterfied, drama queen who should have thought twice about spreading the legs with someone so unsavory.
Late to the party, but just reading this interview...and the only thing I can say is...this is one stupid story. I could not be less interested in EJ/Rafe/Sami, and I am just realizing that the reason that I loved the Sydney story so much either was because of Nicole or because it was so exciting and fresh. Now it is drawn out, tiring and very stupid with actors who can't seem to pull this shit off convincingly.
Can we please end it and move on?
|Jan 2 2010, 11:12 AM Post #76
|Thanks for the article. "Special connection" :wub: Bo and Rafe scenes sounds great to me.
|Jan 2 2010, 12:38 PM Post #77
"Connection" is a good word for what they have. They both always pic up on when the other's concerned about something. This is very consistent with how Sami and Rafe have been since the Safe House, he always picks up on Sami when she's conflicted or hiding something. :wub:
I am looking forward to the Bo and Rafe scenes too. His FBI re-instatement will no doubt have him in contact with the Comissioner. [Did I mention how happy I am he's back with the FBI?]. I wouldn't be surprised if Carly is mentioned too as she told Bo she had 'rescued' when she first arrived in Salem and I heard rumour that Rafe was going to be a good friend for Carly to have with his FBI connections when Vivian's plans start to kick in.
I don't think we've had an on screen conversation with the two of them yet. Can't really count the time that Roman introduced him when he was applying for job as Bo wanted to quickly get rid of him as he thought he might have been the person in his visions of Hope with another man! How stupid was that storyline...can't even remember if Bo was 'cured' of the visions or was it just another dropped storyline?
|Jan 2 2010, 02:59 PM Post #78
Maybe I'm crazy, but it just doesn't seem like EJ is being written as the mastermind of the Sydnapping plot. Not yet. It doesn't make sense why he looks so devastated when he is all alone? Who is he acting for...Stefano's own survelliance cameras at Dimansion? I just don't see it.
Now I do think he will try to kidnap Syd from Anna once he knows she is behind it. Then he will keep Sydney all to himself to punish Sami, Rafe, Stefano and Nicole for being such lying aholes! That will be the big twist. Then he can spend time making up to Sydney for being such a butthead to her when he kicked her out of their house.
|Jan 2 2010, 04:59 PM Post #79
Oh, I think he is the mastermind of the kidnapping. Since we know Stefano isn't in on it, someone had to be feeding Anna info about where Nicole was and when and EJ had his men following Nicole, so he would know. EJ is out to make sure everyone who deceived him about Grace/Sydney pays.
|Jan 2 2010, 11:03 PM Post #80
I like that about them :wub:
I agree, I think that Carly/Rafe's friendship is going to cause a little Safe angst. :wub: Sami looks good in green though. :D
I was wondering what happened to that storyline.

Prescott and Eastern Railroad
The Prescott and Eastern Railroad (P&E) was a non-operating subsidiary of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway (SFP&P) in Arizona. The 26.4-mile (42.5 km) common carrier railroad was built to serve the mines in the region. The railroad built from a connection with the SFP&P at Entro and extended south to Poland Junction and terminated at Mayer. At Poland Junction and Mayer the P&E connected with the Bradshaw Mountain Railroad, also a non-operating subsidiary of the SFP&P. After various mergers the P&E was merged into the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The line was later abandoned by the Santa Fe Railway.

The Story of Frank Murphy's Impossible Railroad |
At the peak of its prosperity, the fabled Bradshaw Mountains of central Arizona produced a king's ransom in gold and silver. Towns and mines with picturesquely whimsical names like Bueno, Turkey Creek, Tiger, Tip Top, Oro Belle and Big Bug were peopled with boisterous devil-may-care miners aptly described as unmarried, unchurched and unwashed. Each community boasted it was built atop the madre del oro and its streets would soon be cobbled with golden nuggets. In 1899, the vast riches inspired railroad entrepreneur Frank Murphy to extend his Prescott and Eastern Line from Mayer into the heart of the great mountains. Although Murphy was warned he'd be stopped by this maze of rugged, perpendicular grades laced with canyons so steep that big horn sheep had to shut their eyes and walk sideways, he was determined to meet the challenge of the mountains. That's why it's best-remembered as Frank Murphy's Impossible Railroad.arizonaoddities.com/2011/04/the-story-of-frank-murphys-impossible-railroad/

Please fence me in...
One of our rotten dogs (pictured here) escaped our backyard last night, almost certainly by jumping the back fence. Luckily, we were able to find him, but once he finds an escape route, he will try it again & again. To rule out this specific exit, I'm considering the idea of planting bushy shrubs along the fence to break up his running start and act as an extra buffer. I have a bit of a black thumb and need help deciding what to plant! [more inside]

Understanding Radio Station Call Signs
I am working on a project where I am comparing NPR member stations to the list of stations at each state broadcasting association's website. I have found several cases where the same station call sign on the same band and at the same frequency is listed in two different communities. For example, Texas station KTTZ-FM 89.1 is shown by the NPR 2013 station list to be in Leander and Lubbock. Is this a mistake?

Roadtrip from Hammond, Louisianna to Vancouver, BC
I will be in Hammond, Louisiana this October and wanted to make a road trip back to my home in Vancouver Canada. The current plan is to buy a vehicle in Hammond or New Orleans, then drive through Texas and up the coast.

I am asking for advice on art sites and routes with the most interesting or essential things to see.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge celebrated Canada Day with fireworks on their first official international outing.
Jubilant Canadians thronged to catch a glimpse of Prince William and his wife Kate, who joined nearly one-third of the capital city's population of 900,000 who cheered "Will and Kate" on the Parliament lawn.
"We love you Kate," one section screamed when she stepped out of the carriage.
The crowd, decked out in red and white, Canada's national colours, ballooned to 500,000 by nightfall when fireworks lit the sky.
Kate, wearing a purple Issa jersey dress, and William, who had by then thrown off his necktie, were dazzled with pyrotechnics on Parliament Hill, framed by some of the finest Gothic Revival architecture in the British Empire.
"Catherine and I are thrilled and excited by the prospect of the next eight days," William said. "It will be an adventure that we will never forget."
Thousands had lined Ottawa's Wellington St at dawn to secure a view of the royal couple when they made their way to the city's government precinct.
Far more Canada Day revellers showed up than usual, indeed "a record" and maybe triple the number that came last year for the Queen's visit, said Prime Minister Stephen Harper. "The excitement is palpable here," he said.
Under a blistering sun, a few fans collapsed and were carried off by medics. Those who coped were treated to a fly-past of fighter jets, a changing of the military guard decked in red tunics and towering bear fur hats, as well as Canada's national anthem sung by a 10-year-old girl from Winnipeg.
William said his new bride learned about Canada from her grandfather, who died last year, "but who held this country dear to his heart, for he trained in Alberta as a young pilot during World War II".
The prince also conveyed his grandmother's "warmest good wishes".
Queen Elizabeth II, he said, has taken a "great interest" in the couple's trip to Canada and will be "following our progress as it unfolds".
Packed with pomp and pageantry, the North American tour marks the couple's first foreign trip as newlyweds.
Over the coming week, William and Kate are to take a cooking class in Montreal, play aboriginal sports in the far north and cap it off with a rodeo in Calgary.
Their tour of Canada, however, also coincides with a grim milestone: Friday would have been the 50th birthday of Princess Diana, Prince William's mother, who was mobbed by fans when she visited Canada in 1983.
Prince Charles often seemed annoyed at being upstaged by his wife but William appeared to rejoice at the Canadian public's attention to his new bride.
He visibly brimmed with pride as they shared a few glances whenever enthusiastic cheers erupted for her, and once blushed over their wild welcome.

Home > Benefits > Vanderbilt Group Health Plan Glossary of Terms
Vanderbilt Group Health Plan Glossary of Terms
Last Modified: 2016-08-17
Also see the Glossary of Health Coverage and Medical Terms
You and Vanderbilt share the cost of a covered expense (after you meet the deductible). For example, if the health plan pays 80% of a covered expense, the 20% remaining to be paid is your co-insurance amount.
The set amount you pay out-of-pocket for a doctor's or facility visit or a prescription. For example, your co-payment could be $20 for a doctor's visit. The co-pay does not always cover the entire cost of the service, if tests were performed that are billed separately.
A flat amount you must pay before the health plan starts paying.
A list of prescription drugs covered by the health plan.
Generic Drug
A prescription drug that has the same active-ingredient formula as a brand name drug. Generic drugs cost less than brand-name drugs and are rated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be as safe and effective as brand name drugs.
Health Reimbursement Account
A Health Reimbursement Account is an employer-paid benefit account offered to employees. Vanderbilt has two types of Health Reimbursement Accounts.
- The Health Reimbursement Account for faculty and staff whose employment began on or before December 31, 2004. Vanderbilt deposits $25 per month ($300 annually) into an account for each eligible faculty and staff member starting with the first month in which they become eligible. To access the money in this HRA, you either use the PayFlex debit card or pay for the item/service at the point of purchase then submit a claim form and required documentation to PayFlex.
- The Health Reimbursement Account funded by your Go for the Gold Wellness Credit. Employees who complete all or part of the Go for the Gold wellness program and who elect to enroll in the Vanderbilt Group Health Care Plan for Faculty and Staff receive the Wellness Credit. Faculty and staff who waive the health plan are not eligible to receive the Wellness Credit. This Health Reimbursement Account is built into your health plan and helps pay your deductible and co-insurance amounts. You do not have to place claims on this account, Aetna or BlueCross automatically pay claims from this account for you.
For both types of Health Reimbursement Accounts, unused funds are carried over from year to year.
Health Risk Assessment
A form or online tool that is completed by employees to assess an individual's current health status, as well as risk factors for future illness. Vanderbilt's Health Risk Assessment is the first step in the Go for the Gold wellness program.
Out-of-Pocket Limit
The most you pay yearly for co-insurance (includes your deductible in the HealthFund option). Co-pays do not help you meet the out-of-pocket limit.

Monday's first-class stamp-price hike might be the last time people have to worry about a certain tricky issue — mailing a letter with an old stamp on the weekend before a price increase.
On Sunday night, the price of mailing a regular letter is 44 cents. On Monday morning, it will be 45 cents. The cost of most other mail services is getting more expensive, too.
If you stick a letter with a 44-cent stamp in a U.S. Postal Service box on Sunday night, it's not going to be picked up until Monday morning and you'll be a penny shy.
Using "forever" stamps means that won't be a problem anymore. A 44-cent "forever" stamp is good, you know, forever. And every new first-class stamp produced in the last year is one of those.
But some 44-cent stamps produced in 2009 (after the last increase) and in 2010 aren't "forever." It has to say forever to be a forever stamp.
Mailing a letter this weekend with one of those stamps could mean that the letter would have insufficient postage by the time it's processed on Monday. The Postal Service has warned about that before every price bump for a long time.
Letters still would be delivered, but recipients would pay the difference.
That is still "technically" the case, said David Van Allen, a Postal Service spokesman. But if a letter with an old 44-cent stamp is in the mail stream on Monday — that is, sitting in a box, waiting to be picked up — it's going to go through with no problem. No additional cent is needed.
The Postal Service isn't even really warning too much this time.
"People shouldn't get too stressed about that," Van Allen said.
The price increase comes as the financially strapped Postal Service is proposing to close processing plants nationwide this year. The service lost $5 billion in 2011 and $8 billion the year before.
Columbus actually stands to gain hundreds of jobs at its processing and distribution plant near Port Columbus, Postal Service and union officials say. All or part of operations now handled in Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Athens and Chillicothe would be consolidated here.
But six small Columbus post offices are on a "study list" for possible closure.
Mail volume, revenue and stamp sales have been on the decline for years. The Postal Service sold about 30 million first-class stamps in 2009. That was down to 27.4 million in 2010 and 24.6 million last year.
The Postal Service doesn't expect too much of a rush to buy the cheaper stamps in the next few days, Van Allen said. People have known this was coming for months and have had time to prepare, he said.
The line during lunch hour yesterday at the Columbus Main Post Office on Twin Rivers Drive seemed both to prove that point and illustrate some of the Postal Service's more-troubling statistics.
If the customers were buying stamps, they didn't seem to be stocking up. In fact, they didn't seem to need many stamps at all.
"I do a lot of stuff electronically," said Shana Vernon, 49, of Bexley, who had gone there to mail some flat packages. "If I do (buy stamps), it will be very few."
Shannon Dejong, 41, of Upper Arlington, was there to pick up stamps for her workplace, but not for herself. She said she hardly buys stamps anymore for her household.
"It takes us like a year to use 20 stamps," she said.

PRESS RELEASEfrom the Office of State Senator Craig Estes, District 30
For Immediate ReleaseJanuary 14, 2008Contact: Jody Withers 512-463-0130
Senator Craig Estes Praises Parole Board, Local Officials, and Community in Stopping Proposed Halfway House
Austin - State Senator Craig Estes (Wichita Falls-R) is pleased with the cooperation of the Texas Parole Board in working with his office, Grayson County officials, and community activists in stopping the proposed Mission Gate Ministries halfway house on Harrell Road outside of Howe.
"I want to personally thank the Texas Parole Board for agreeing not to sanction the proposed halfway house near Howe for use by Texas or out-of-state parolees," said Estes. "I also want to credit my colleague State Representative Larry Phillips, Commissioner Johnny Waldrip and other Grayson County officials, and members of the community for their hard work in resolving this issue."
Estes worked with Representative Phillips, state agencies, and local officials to find a solution to stop this halfway house from opening operations. Estes also said his office had been informed that Mission Gate Ministries is likely to accept a community buyback offer for the property holding the proposed halfway house.
"I think a lot of the credit goes to the community for banding together in a common cause, and formulating a reasonable argument against this facility and presenting that case to their public officials," said Estes.
Estes also reaffirmed his commitment to addressing the state laws lacking in regulating these facilities, including requirements for any persons working as supervisors or staff at halfway houses when the Legislature convenes again in January 2009.
"While I agree with the overall goal of assisting parolees in their transition back into civilized society, we cannot ignore the obvious threats to public safety posed by these types of facilities with little or no oversight," said Estes. "I look forward to working with officials at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Parole Board, and other state agencies in crafting a common-sense set of rules covering these facilities, supervisors, and parolees."
