I think one of the reasons that I am often brought into small sales conference meetings is the fact that I am like each member of their sales team.
We each have 1001 things to do each day. We have to bring in more new clients, and keep existing ones happy. We often have long lead times and have to do much more with less resource. We have family commitments (mine being hubby, six kids and five animals). Even with these constraints I've been able to grow a successful business, write sixteen business books and keep everyone happy.
While preparing a presentation for a small Australian distributor conference of industrial cleaning suppliers last week, I thought of an acronym which perfectly encapsulated the main strategies that I religiously follow. I thought you might be interested.
You never give up on a viable prospect, no matter how long it takes. If someone has potential to do business with you, has shown interest, you put them in your database and stay in contact with them. Just because the timing isn't right to become a client immediately doesn't mean they won't in the future. Also in the interim your communications can become a referral source from them to others.
One critical point - your communications to them must be in a 'what's in it for them' manner.
Forget one off's. Create your own systems, routines for following up. For religiously setting aside time for marketing and business development. For creating and sending your bulk WIFFM communications. Activity equals success. Do not wait for the phone to ring or for people to call you back about the proposals/quotes you've sent out.
Offline/Online Communications
This is the main strategy of bringing in new business, keeping clients happy, adding value and improving customer service. As mentioned twice about you develop a communication strategy. Mine has always been to put myself in their shoes and think of what information can make them more successful in many aspects of their life. While lots of the tips and information I put in my newsletters, others would charge for I have found this keeps people subscribed, reading and referring. In this day and age priceless.
Your most valuable business asset is an information rich database of existing and prospective clients. It's heartbreaking how few sales people or businesses realise this. It doesn't matter where you put it to sleep at night a proprietary database, Email Contacts, Excel, Access.... Keep information that is relevant to them as well as you. That helps you target. And then use it.
Using your everyday business tools enables you to accomplish all the strategies above no matter if you're in the office. On the road. On an extended holiday. By learning the features of your smartphone, your software and using mobility you can make magic happen.
What do you think?

The game featured several scoring chances but a lack of finish by both teams as they get ready for their respective seasons in different leagues — the 'Caps in USSF D-2 Pro League and the Sounders in Major League Soccer. The game was Vancouver's fourth in a row against MLS opposition as it looks to join MLS in 2011. It has one win, two losses and a draw in those games. The Sounders held a slight edge in play in the first half but many of their chances were called offside, particularly irritating formal Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg when he appeared to be set free in the 28th minute. A Sounders goal on a header from midfielder Steve Zakuani was called offside. The speedy Zakuani also forced the issue in the 21st minute, breaking in from the left flank and forcing 'Caps goalie Jay Nolly to make a great save, pushing the ball wide of the near post. The Whitecaps best first-half chance came when forward Dever Orgill took a quick shot inside the Seattle box but the strike was easily stopped by Sounders keeper Kasey Keller. First-year 'Caps midfielder Blake Wagner — who played in MLS with FC Dallas last season — just missed a great chance midway through the second half when he fired the ball past Keller but it went barely wide of the far post. Vancouver put a lot of pressure on the Sounders shortly after that but couldn't beat Keller. The Sounders defeated the 'Caps 3-2 last month in an exhibition game in Arizona and Saturday's game was the team's first in B.C. since it joined MLS last year. The Whitecaps' all-time record against MLS opposition is four wins, seven losses and three ties. The Sounders begin regular-season MLS play on March 25 when they host the expansion Philadelphia Union while the Whitecaps start regular-season USSF D-2 Pro League play on April 11 when they host NSC Minnesota Stars. email@example.com © Copyright (c) The Vancouver Sun Previous Next

I used 1 pound ground turkey; 2 Tbsp cumin and curry and left out the cayenne, so it wasn't too spicy for the kids.
A tip: don't cut jalapenos and then touch your eye.....wow it burns!
I prefer this to traditional chilis. I'll be making it over and over.

Use the basic chili settings for your particular make and model. Your manufacturer has instructions.

i've mentioned this before but i am an avid reader of your food blog. we try something new of yours atleast once a week and you have yet to fail me! i was wondering if you had any tips on a GF 72 hour kit. with all the craziness going around, i want to be able to put together a bag with some GF goodies that would work well for a 72 hour kit. the one i use (not GF) has granola bars, MREs, etc. I know you can buy some GF kits but I want to be more frugal and do it on my own. Not so much of a food question per se, more of a tip.

My doc ...I just thought I'd drop in and say hi. My doc has put me on an "elimination diet" because he suspects food sensitivities are the cause of my asthma, eczema and sinus. He also told me the most likely culprits are dairy and gluten. I've been browsing to prepare myself in the event that he's right. (I'm nine days into the diet and feel better. I'm sure he's on to something.)

It will probably be a while before I try to reintroduce either wheat or dairy. I'm not looking forward to the potential side effects of this experiment. At least living without them hasn't felt horrible. I like vegetables, but I miss the convenience of bread. Also, I came into contact with a baggy of reeces pieces today and nearly keeled over with cravings.

The chilli is a bit hot for the weather I'm experiencing here in South Africa, but it does look yummy.

Accolades to you! This is a fantastic recipe!! I made it today for a work event (chili cook-off) and came in 3rd place. Had many wonderful compliments on the chili - thanks to you!

Definitely a recipe I'll be making again and again!

My 16 yo son's comment was..."it's really good, but what am I eating?"
My 14 yo daughter said.."wow, mom, this is the best ever...can you make this EVERY day??" My husband thought it was a bit sweet...so I added a bit more chili powder and all was great. I used black beans, Kidney beans and pintos...loved the combo of butternut and sweet potato with the spices. A very tasty heart warmer on a bitterly cold day. Thank you for sharing...this is the best yet.

Question: Have you come across a good light weight GF bread recipe? I have always baked our bread, but now that I am GF, all of the recipes I have found make very dense heavy bread. They're great with soups/stews but don't make avery good sandwich or toast. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

(Ok, it was 76 at the beach and 90 inland in San Diego, but hey! It looked good.) I have to tell you, Karina. You make me look like a hero. When I walked in with Two Artists Chili and your new Irish Soda Bread, everyone oohed and ahhed. Even the group of college boys home on spring break attacked the chili, returning for more. And most amazing? My own son had two helpings. Of something full of vegetables!!! (And he wolfed down the bread - and he's not gluten intolerant.)

My friends now think that ever since I developed food allergies, I eat better than they do! (Which is probably true.)

My delicious reportoire is primarily due to what I am learning from you, and I don't know how I can ever adequately thank you. I tell everyone who will listen about your amazing site, but what I know from experience is that some folks need a good motivator to get out of the box. Food allergies are the best motivator I know.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity with all of us. Your photos are beautiful, your writing inspirational, and your recipies divine.

Building jobs
After years of sporadic or largely nonexistent construction in the lakes area in the wake of the Great Recession, 2012 proved to be the year the economic recovery took solid steps.
Jobs. Construction. Development.
The ground was laid for the first waves of economic development at the end of 2011 with the confirmation of a number of projects. The largest arrived with retail giant Costco. In April, Costco closed on the former Dondelinger Motor City property, with plans to build a warehouse store in one of the smallest markets the company has entered. Costco bought the land for $4.2 million. Construction began on the southwest corner of the Highways 210 and 371 intersection.
The building plan called for a 142,705-square-foot wholesale building with 752 parking stalls, a fueling station, and five outlots on the land off Elder Drive. The store plans include a tire installation and repair center and off-sale liquor store. Four of the outlots with the Costco development will be able to be developed for commercial businesses. A starting wage was initially reported at $11.50 per hour, but actually started at $11 when Costco began hiring in Baxter this summer. The average hourly wage, the company reported, is $22.37 with 90 percent of employees expected to be eligible for benefits.
The Baxter Costco's opening date is listed for Oct. 24. Costco reported it expects to hire 175 to 200 employees and applicants were expected to significantly outnumber job openings.
Costco currently operates 605 warehouses, including 438 in the United States and Puerto Rico, 82 in Canada, 32 in Mexico, 22 in the United Kingdom, 13 in Japan, eight in Taiwan, seven in Korea and three in Australia. The company has 16 warehouse openings listed from mid-August to the end of November, including Baxter.
It didn't take long for Costco's plans to have ripple effects.
Olive Garden, which has been circling the Baxter area looking for a location
for months, settled on land along Highway 371 and the intersection with Glory Road by J.C. Penney Co. Olive Garden reported its 7,600-square-foot restaurant will open in early October with 45 bar seats and 200 seats.
Phase one of construction put up the restaurant, landscaping, parking and driveway areas. Phase two involves the construction of the retail strip center of about 13,200 square feet, with not more than 4,200 square feet of restaurant uses including drive-through windows. Phase two construction is required to start by Dec. 31, 2014 with proposed food sites in the north retail area of phase two have 130 seats listed for the project along with 9,000 square feet in retail shops. A site plan shows two restaurants, with one on either side of the building with the retail shops in between. One of the restaurants is listed at 2,400 square feet with the other at 1,800 square feet and with drive-through lanes.
Just yards away on the western side of J.C. Penney, trees gave way to put up a Discount Tires building on Glory Road. Bill Wendell, Discount Tires regional vice president, initially thought the building may go up in 2013, but the store is ahead of schedule with a November opening date expected following this summer's construction. Wendell said the company, which now has about 23 stores in the state and more than 800 nationwide, is trying to open two to three stores annually. The chain started in 1960 in Ann Arbor, Mich. and strictly sells tires and wheels and accessories. Fifteen hires were expected with the store, which may grow to 25 to 30 employees.
Wendell said the addition of Costco was a driver in the decision to locate in Baxter. Although with a lake home in the area, Wendell was familiar with potential locations here.
"I've always thought it would be a good spot," Wendell said. And he said having Walmart, Costco, Home Depot and Menards along with the restaurants nearby are benefits.
"They all create traffic and everybody drives cars," he said.
Just up the highway, AT&T moved into the freshly constructed addition to the North Pointe Center and opened a 2,819-square-foot retail store on Edgewood Drive.
In June, ATEK Companies announced a commitment to a significant presence in Brainerd by moving production to the city by the end of 2012. ATEK is a family of companies with five businesses — ATEK Medical, ATEK Manufacturing, ATEK Plastics, ATEK Products and Progress Casting. ATEK Products, based in Brainerd at 10th Avenue Northeast, works with industrial sensing, security and safety systems with familiar names like Larco.
The company, which has been in business for more than 60 years, has a long history in Brainerd and has employed people here for decades. ATEK announced it is moving all accounting and other back-office functions to Brainerd and plans to move all production at its Savage facility to Brainerd by the end of 2012.
Health care
In the neighborhood, on Isle Drive, Essentia Health St. Joseph's-Baxter Clinic opened its new building in February.
The addition of the Baxter clinic meant a move for eight of the 16 family medicine doctors working in Brainerd. Urgent Care made the move along with physical therapy, obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics. Changes included the ability for patients to check in on their own health care records electronically and an emphasis on same-day service for walk-in patients. Physician's schedules were examined and restructured so patients would have more opportunities to see their primary care physician, even on a walk-in basis. Design elements incorporated natural light and created screened waiting areas for added privacy.
In February, Allina Hospitals and Clinics and Crosby-based Cuyuna Regional Medical Center announced a joint land purchase off Isle Drive in Baxter. The land is off Highway 371 on Isle Drive, south of the Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union building. There were no immediate plans to build, but the health care provider deemed it a good time to make the land purchase in preparation to adding a presence in the area to serve patients who now travel to the hospital and clinic in Crosby.
Minneapolis Heart Institute, part of Allina, has operated clinics in Brainerd/Baxter, Crosby and Aitkin for many years, and previously stated they are looking forward to expanding community partnerships and health and wellness programs throughout the region as we continue to offer a full range of cardiology services in the Baxter area, including same-day appointments with a cardiologist.
In Aitkin, Riverwood Healthcare Center completed the first phase of a major renovation and expansion project, which created private rooms for patients, a common courtyard and reworked the birthing suites adding a third delivery room and family waiting room. Semi-private rooms at the hospital were converted to 25 single patient rooms. More space was given to the intensive care unit and a separate space created for chemotherapy and infusion treatments. Renovations continue on the surgery department, lobby enlargement and other additions in the $21 million project.
Restaurant makeovers
Olive Garden is the first new major restaurant addition to the lakes area community in some time. But it wasn't the only culinary change in the region.
A major makeover was in the works through the winter of 2012 for the re-opening of Bar Harbor. The restaurant, with roots on Gull Lake dating back to late 1930s, reopened after an extensive renovation.
The restaurant remade itself before. The original structure burned to the ground in 1968 but was rebuilt. In April 2004, a new restaurant — modeled after the 1930s version — was constructed on the site next to the old one, which was then demolished. In 2010, John Allen, longtime Gull Lake resident and president and CEO of Minneapolis-based Industrial Equities, purchased Bar Harbor from Steve and Deanna Anderson. With winter business slowed by a lack of snow, the restaurant remained closed for an extended time, allowing for a more complete renovation to time with the first day of spring.
Numerous pine tree plantings and landscaping reshaped the look of the gentle curve on County Highway 77 near the Gull Lake Narrows. Inside the storied restaurant was also transformed. Mahogany wood. White linens. Vintage photographs. The new restaurant features an intimate piano bar and a homage to the lakes area in the Elbow Room bar.
The restaurant has two sides, one with white table cloths and fireplace and the other with high tables and bar seating, including an intimate piano bar and nearby stage for a three- or four-piece band. Allen's vision was to reach out to the restaurant's rich tradition and rebuild that grandeur, while not making a restaurant stuffily set aside solely for special occasions. The new Bar Harbor was described as upscale casual where people, fresh from a boating excursion and docked in one of the restaurant's 32 boat slips, would feel comfortable.
The restaurant seats 210 inside and 110 outside. Seating on the deck now has a focal point of a gas stone fire pit and view of Gull Lake. Chef P.J. Severson said the kitchen's focus is on fresh ingredients and meals made in-house. He said the restaurant is focused on a higher-quality of tender meat that incorporates the tradition of the supper club and its steaks.
Farther down the road in Lake Shore, venerable Sherwood Forest would also find a fresh start in the spring.
Sherwood Forest, settled on a narrow strip of land between Gull Lake and Lake Margaret, has been part of the area since the 1920s when redwood logs came from California bound for Duluth harbor and were abandoned at a lakes area depot. Mike Mulrooney, owner of Blarney Pub and Grill in Minneapolis, had driven by the building, once part of a resort, for decades and felt the building's striking looks could help draw people inside. Mulrooney described Sherwood Forest Tavern as a casual and relaxed dining experience with full bar and menu.
The interior was freshened up with a hand-crafted redwood slab added for the bar counter, which was moved across the room. A lounge area with couch, chair and love seats were added across from the bar, along with new fixtures and ceiling fans. A deck was constructed for outdoor dining. Signature menu items include stuffed pork chop with sauteed mushroom bacon risotto with vegetables, a pan sauteed walleye is covered in wild rice walnut mushroom creme sauce along with daily pasta specials and burgers. Mulrooney said he hoped a good location was combining with an economy that was starting to turn around for a successful summer.
Other eateries in the region, such as the former Cheek's, between Merrifield and Crosslake, had a makeover with an ownership change. It is now McCabe's Pub in Mission Township. Menu items an appetizer menu with two versions of lavash, or a thin flatbread that is popular in the Middle East. Applebee's in Baxter updated its look inside and out with a sweeping renovation of the restaurant this summer.
Hammers weren't confined to fresh construction projects as renovations and expansions provided work for contractors.
In Baxter, icons of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox were loaded for transport a second time from the Kohl's corner as the statues outside the Paul Bunyan Bowl left the site as their much larger and more animated counterparts did years earlier.
This summer, construction work changed the former Paul Bunyan Bowl building into the Mills Indoor Shooting Range and Archery Center, a complement to the next-door Mills Fleet Farm. Building plans called for a 15,000-square-foot addition, 50-yard firearms shooting and tactical training range, a 40-yard archery range, a large classroom, a small training room and a merchandising area.
In Aitkin, a main street mainstay was getting a new lease on life. Sylvia Allen, owner of Allen Consulting with a home in New Jersey and long family tradition of summers in Aitkin that goes back to her grandparents. They visited friends in the area in 1912 and later built a home there. That connection led Allen to the effort of renovating the landmark Butler's store, originally the Aitkin Opera House, built in 1902. Allen reported she wanted to start with the first floor and begin a phased three-year plan to renovate the building starting with an Internet cafe and six retail stores. To that end, she created a nonprofit Butler Project. With help from the Blandin Foundation and other grantors, the plan was updated to complete all three floors in a timely fashion giving full theatre and event space on the second floor and providing two restaurants in the basement —The Grotto and a microbrewery called the Rathskeller.
At the end of 2011, new owners of the Westgate Mall announced plans to revitalize that portion of the community with new stores and more jobs.
Alan Retkinski and Alex Schleider formed Westgate Mall Realty Group for the $6.8 million purchase. By spring, Big Lots and Dunham's Sports moved into the former Steve & Barry's store and opened in the spring of 2012. Those stores were joined by specialty young adult retailer rue 21.
Retkinski's New Jersey-based company, Lexington Realty International, owns and manages shopping centers and has taken other malls said to be in death spirals and turned them into vibrant destinations again.
When the Westgate Mall came on to the market, Retkinski said they thought it was a perfect fit with other properties they have in the region. With their existing relationships with retailers, Retkinski said they were able to ink deals with Big Lots and Dunham's Sports. Big Lots took about 32,000 square feet and Dunham's Sports moved into about 33,000 square feet.
In addition to updates at the mall with Wi-Fi and other service upgrades, the mall owners began to look for a restaurant to move into a 1.15-acre parcel in front of the mall.
The mall owners then sold the theater to longtime operators Mann Theatres, creating another building project as the theater was expanded from 10 screens to 12. Each auditorium was gutted and rebuilt with stadium seating, 3-D screens, computerized digital projection equipment. Two large auditoriums and a party room were added to the building. For 12 screens, the investment in the digital technology was about $850,000. The renovations, expected in the $4 million to $4.5 million range, extended to a new facade, new entrance and new name in Lakes 12 Theatre.
Steve Mann, president of Bloomington-based Mann Theatres, said it was a pleasure to work in the community where people cared about the project and were quick to help from local signmakers to the Brainerd High School passing the word about job openings. Mann said it was a different experience than building or renovating in a metro area.
Radco Truck Accessory Center, a division of Silver Star Industries, opened in March in the shuttered Floor to Ceiling Store along Highway 371. Radco has been in east Brainerd since 1976. The company headquarters remained in Brainerd while the retail and warehouse facility made the move to Baxter.
"We have had a terrific run here at the Highway 25 facility, and we want to sincerely thank all of our friends who we have helped for 30 plus years," Brian Skogen, company president, stated at the time. "The opportunity that presents itself in relocation is invigorating. While we have an established track record here on the east side of town, it's obvious that traffic patterns and commerce in general have gravitated to west Brainerd and the 371 corridor in Baxter. ...(In the) Floor to Ceiling store, we have a rare find with both a location and building size that mirrors our needs today and for years to come."
THE FUTURE and the Costco and North Dakota effects
Chris Close, broker/owner with Close-Converse in Brainerd, specializes in investment properties and business brokerage. Close said property values have leveled off and remain relatively stable. The economy is creating attractive lease rates for people who may want to upgrade to a nicer space. Until supplies diminish, values may continue to hover near the bottom. Close said existing properties are still prices well below the cost to build, which is critical. Close said with those deals in mind, a lot of industrial buildings are being gobbled up.
"A lot of people are still under stress," Close said. He said regulations and the time and energy it takes to enter local markets may be more of a struggle to small business owners and small entrepreneurs than it is for larger national players looking to move here.
And then there is the Costco effect.
Baxter reportedly represents the second smallest market Costco has decided for a warehouse store location. Simply looking at the demographics here it doesn't appear to be enough to attract the development even with Brainerd and Baxter and Unorganized Territory combined, or by combining the 63,000 people in Crow Wing County with 29,000 in Cass County for a 92,000 draw area.
"We don't come close," Close said of the demographics companies typically need when weighing decisions for store locations, "but they keep coming."
Summer estimates for the Brainerd lakes area indicate the population spikes to 200,000 or more. But it's a hard number to track down. Instead, Close said companies are looking at other significant numbers.
"We've at least survived and come out pretty well in this down economy because we really have a draw to this area from the lakes and rivers," Close said of the lakes area, which continues to create a regional hub. "We are drawing people with a lot of money to this area. We are in a unique position. If you look at the demographics, it doesn't make sense. I think the wealth effect is critical."
The wealth effect comes from the seasonal homeowners filling the lake communities and neighborhoods.
"Our commercial development is an anomaly in the world of commercial development," Close said. "It doesn't make sense by the numbers." But he added the regional hub of the Brainerd lakes area, the existing wealth here are all part of the equation as developers see a positive future here. Developers are also looking at retail sales numbers, which indicate a market that draws a lot more than just the area population.
"The retail dollars are critical to know how much money is flowing around the community," Close said. And now developers have another solid reason to take a hard look at the region — Costco.
The No. 1 thing for any national chain looking at the market, and a certain way to get their attention is to say "Costco is building," Close said. "They are all saying, 'if (Costco) is doing it, surely we will do it. A lot of nationals are looking at our market right now. ... From the national side we are going to see a lot of activity."
Beyond Costco, Close said there is the North Dakota influence as the oil boom there, trickles down here. Close said people, particularly contractors, are going to North Dakota for the opportunity to make a lot of money.
"But this is such a great place to live, they keep homes here and work for three weeks and then come back," Close said. He calls it the Midwestern version of the California gold rush. "The good news is they are bringing money back to spend here."
Entrepreneurs finding it expensive to employ people in North Dakota are seeing a good and more affordable work pool in the lakes area and more affordable properties. With the savings, the numbers are in their favor to develop product here and ship it to North Dakota.
So while the Great Recession forced businesses to streamline, cut costs, be more efficient and downsize to survive, Close said some are now seeing more revenue even as they have fewer sales because their costs have decreased.
"Businesses had to get really smart to maximize every dollar because it was so limited," Close said, noting in the long run that will be good but the short-term pain comes with the higher unemployment.
"I feel far better today than I did a year ago in terms of activity," Close said, noting he still has concerns but people are investing cautiously. "We are heading in the right direction. A lot will be told in the election."
Close said the Gander Mountain building and site is back on the front burner for redevelopment with Michaels and Petco in the mix along with other recognizable names. A national chain has also looked at the former Pine Meadows Golf Course in Baxter, although property off the first tier will need a strong destination draw to make up for a lack of visibility. Close said those looking at the golf course will need to be more of a pioneer but they gain from a bigger land value.

Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, this is obviously a difficult time in our politics--the polarization. It is a difficult time in the Senate, in particular, because over the years this has been a place where we have prided ourselves on really working to find ways to avoid the kind of polarization we see today and actually to find the common denominator on a number of sensitive issues.
I think our friend from Maine, Senator Snowe, spoke for many of us this week when she talked about the ``my way or the highway'' approaches to partisan politics that have made it harder for people to work with each other and actually get things done. I would never speak for her, but I think given her diagnosis of what is wrong with the Senate today, she has made a decision not to run for reelection. I think the amendment we are debating today, frankly, is exhibit A.
Two years ago many of us voted to end an era where many Americans felt that women in particular but poor people and others also were put into a position of a second-tier status with respect to access to health care in America. There were so many discrepancies. One example, for instance, that was in error before the reform we passed was where Viagra was covered for men, at no cost, by insurance companies but contraception, which 99 percent of American women use, was not covered. So we addressed this issue in the reform we passed, Congress sent it to the President, and the President signed it.
The administration then took the time appropriate. Recognizing the difficulty of implementing some of this, they allowed for a time period in order to be able to work through the rules. When they did come out with the first rule, I regret that they came out with a rule that many of us felt--I felt and shared with others in America--a sense that it was not going to work. There was a firestorm in the country over that for a brief period of time. I spoke out in our caucus, and I said I thought there was a better way to try to deal with that that created a balance between the first amendment requirements and the needs of people to be able to have access and be protected. I didn't think it was and I don't think today it is right to force a religiously affiliated institution to pay for contraception if it violates fundamental religious beliefs.
I am glad to say that the administration--the White House, which I think perhaps hadn't been able to see all of the implications of what had happened at that point in time--quickly moved to recognize that indeed the rule was not proposed as it ought to be, and they changed it. They responded. That was the right decision.
This week, Secretary Sebelius made it clear they are still working with the faith community on a final rule that will address the concerns of my church and of other institutions which are self-insured.
But with all due respect to what the Senator from Maine, Senator Collins, said a few minutes ago, Secretary Sebelius said publicly, after the Senate Finance Committee hearing on this subject on the budget, whether it is an insured plan or self-insured plan, the employer who has a religious objection doesn't have to directly offer or pay for contraception. So I take issue. I believe the letter the Senator received actually addresses this question and says they are working with the community, as I believe they ought to, in order to come up with a means of guaranteeing that self-insurance will be protected, as I believe it ought to be protected.
But I don't believe we ought to embrace the Blunt amendment as this broad-based opening of Pandora's box that carries with it all kinds of other risks and potential mischief. We don't have to do that in order to protect the self-insured here. I think it is important to work together with patience to try to find a way to do no harm, if you will, to the Constitution or to the rights of women in this country to access health care.
I believe in the spirit of the amendment that is in front of us today. I know the Senator from Missouri acts in good faith personally, and I respect that. But language is always important, critical in legislating, and the language is overbroad. If there is one thing I know after 27 years of legislating here, it is that when you are writing legislation, it is critical to understand the implications of the language you use. Precision matters. This amendment opens the potential for overly broad and vague exceptions that could allow children to be denied immunizations. It could allow a company--and a company is quite different from an individual's right to protection under the Constitution--to actually object to mental health services. It could allow for the denial of HIV screenings because people think somehow that is a disease that belongs to a category they object to in terms of social life and structure in America. It would allow, potentially, the objection of maternity care for single mothers because people have an objection to a single mother being pregnant and having a child.
There is all kinds of mischief that could be implemented as a consequence of people's assertion of a belief that is not in fact covered under the first amendment but which, as a result of the language in this amendment, could be swept into some claim, and I don't think we should do that. That is not good legislating. That is dangerous.
I was interested to hear the minority leader this morning assert some things about the first amendment. I think they are absolutely incorrect. The first amendment is a guarantee that religious liberty will be protected in America and that government will not institute one religion or another or establish a religion for the Nation. It also says no religious view will be imposed on anybody. The Blunt amendment is, in fact, an assault on that protection of the first amendment because it imposes one view on a whole bunch of people who don't share that view or on those who want to choose for themselves.
The Affordable Care Act and the President's compromise and the final rule leave all of the existing conscience clause provisions in place--it doesn't change them at all--while adding additional protection for churches and for religious organizations. The administration's compromise regulation, endorsed by the Catholic Hospital Association and other religious organizations, maintains conscience protections so that any religious employer with objections to coverage of contraceptive services will not be required to provide, refer, or pay for these services. Furthermore, all churches and houses of worship are exempt from the compromise regulation.
In fact, as the Women's Law Center pointed out:
Under current law, individuals and entities who wish to refuse a role in abortion services are protected by three different federal laws, the Church Amendments (42 U.S.C. 300a 7), the Coats Amendment (42 U.S.C. 238n), and the Weldon Amendment, which is attached to the Labor-HHS appropriations bill each year. The health care reform law explicitly said it would not have any effect on these laws, meaning these were the law of the land before the health care reform law and continue to be the law now. So, the Blunt Amendment doesn't ``restore'' these rights because they never went away. What could the Blunt Amendment be about, then? Before the health care reform law, refusals happened all the time, and that was a big part of the problem that the health care reform law was meant to address. People were refused coverage for things like having had a C-section or being a cancer survivor. Insurance plans refused to provide coverage for services, like maternity care or mental health. But to call the refusals that happened before health care reform a ``conscience right'' is a mischaracterization. Refusals were business as usual. They had very little, if anything, to do with an individual's or insurance company's conscience. They had to do with insurance companies refusing coverage for things they didn't find profitable. And by granting a huge loophole with its permission to refuse coverage based on ``moral considerations'' the Blunt Amendment would take us right back there, while hiding under the guise of ``conscience rights.''
I have met with and had conversations with conscientious people in my Church, because it is important to listen to help find answers to these difficult questions. It has left me convinced that we don't have to support a back-door dismantling of health care rights to protect religious liberty. The administration's dialogue with the faith community to reach a final accord that protects patients, including women, and also protects religious liberty is a far better outcome than to have the Senate rush to undercut that effort and pass something that is overly broad, risking dangerous unintended consequences.
Mr. President, this amendment would be a mistake--for women, for health care, for millions of Americans who don't want to go back to the days when they could be denied care for any reason. We don't need to drive another wedge in our politics. We need to drive towards that common denominator, that common ground--and that is why this amendment must be defeated.
I would simply close by saying the Senate should not rush to undercut the protections already in place and which, ultimately, would undermine the teachings of my church, which argues that social conscience and values ought to be primarily established by caring for our sick, and this would in fact deny that, to some degree.

Took our money....never called back....never say any results.....never returned phone calls or texts after the initial process....was a bad mistake to trust him to handle our case.....he got paid to do nothing...

I was never able to stay in contact with Mr. Smith. He wouldn't return phone calls and messages left by me or my family. I was never exactly sure where we stood with the case because he wouldn't maintain communication. He kept putting off very important matters and then having the court date postponed. I was not satisfied with his services.


text: The State University of New York at Buffalo's Jewish studies program is getting criticism for its failure to renew the contract of Rachel Lipsky, who taught Hebrew there for 23 years and whose supporters say that she lost her slot so it could be given to the wife of a new hire, The Buffalo News [1] reported. Among those backing Lipsky are Elie Wiesel. An inquiry by SUNY found no wrongdoing and Buffalo officials note that adjuncts are not assured long-term employment.

The first signs of sectarian reprisal killings of Sunnis appeared in Iraq on Tuesday, as 44 Sunni prisoners were killed in a government-controlled police station north of Baghdad, and the bodies of four young men who had been shot were dumped on a street of the capital.
A police source in Baquba said the prisoners were killed after militants who had been advancing on the city attacked the police station, where the men, who were suspected of having ties to the militants, were being held for questioning.
"Those people were detainees who were arrested in accordance with Article 4 terrorism offences," he said, referring to Iraqi anti-terrorism legislation that gives security forces extraordinary arrest powers. "They were killed inside the jail by the policemen before they withdrew from the station last night."
Militants aligned with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, on Monday night took several neighbourhoods in Baquba, which is just 80 kilometres from Baghdad, according to security officials in Baquba.
Brigadier General Jameel Kamal al-Shimmari, the police commander in Baquba, said that officers had repulsed the militants after a three-hour gun battle. "Everything in the city is now under control, and the groups of armed men are not seen in the city," General Shimmari said on Tuesday.
Officials at the morgue in Baquba said that two policemen had been killed in the fighting.
ISIS claimed in a Twitter post on a feed associated with the militants that the prisoners had been executed by the police.
Victims between 25 and 30
An Iraqi government military spokesman, General Qassim Atta, blamed the deaths in Baquba on the militants, saying the prisoners died when the station was struck with hand grenades and mortars. However, a source at the morgue in Baquba said that many of the victims had been shot at close range. Like many of the official sources in Iraq, he spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media.
In eastern Baghdad, the bodies of four young men were found without identity documents on a street in the Benuk neighbourhood on Tuesday morning. They were believed to have been Sunnis, because the area is controlled by Shiite militiamen. The area is largely Shiite but also includes Sunnis, and no one had initially claimed the young men's bodies, according to a police source in the Ministry of Interior in Baghdad.
The victims were between 25 and 30 years old and had been shot numerous times, he said.
The killings fit the pattern of death squads during the sectarian violence in 2006 and 2007 at the height of the American-led invasion. Bodies would be dumped in streets and empty lots after execution-style killings, often without identity documents. Many of these extrajudicial killings, as well as kidnappings, were the work of Shiite militias, often in cooperation with the Shiite-dominated police force, although Shiites living in Sunni neighbourhoods were killed as well. At the peak of the violence, as many as 80 bodies a day were found in Baghdad and its immediate suburbs.
The fighting in Baquba was particularly worrying, because it represented the closest that ISIS and its allies have come to the capital. Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki has encouraged what he has said are hundreds of thousands of volunteers – nearly all of them Shiites – to join with Shiite militias in the defence of Iraq against the Sunni extremists.
After capturing Mosul a week ago, ISIS has advanced more than 400 kilometres, mostly down the valley of the Tigris River toward Baghdad. The militants also took the northwestern city of Tal Afar on Monday, apparently consolidating their gains around Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city. On Tuesday, the militants were reported to have attacked the village of Basheer, 15 kilometres south of Kirkuk, according to Reuters.
US troops return to Baghdad
Angered at what he has called a conspiracy by all of Iraq's enemies to destroy the country, Mr Maliki has lashed out at fellow Arab states with Sunni majorities, particularly Saudi Arabia, accusing them of fomenting the insurgency in neighbouring Syria that has nourished the growth of ISIS. On Tuesday, Mr Maliki was reported to have dismissed security force commanders whom he blamed for allowing ISIS fighters to seize territory in northern Iraq over the past week.
The Obama administration, increasingly exasperated with Mr Maliki, took exception on Tuesday to his allegation about the Saudis. Jen Psaki, a State Department spokeswoman in Washington, described it as inaccurate and "offensive".
White House officials also announced that on Wednesday Mr Obama would hold a meeting on Iraq with congressional leaders, who are increasingly concerned about the administration's strategy in dealing with the crisis. Mr Obama, who declared the Iraq war over when the last American troops left at the end of 2011, has repeatedly said he would not drag the United States into another conflict in the country. But on Monday he announced that 275 members of the American military were deploying to Iraq to protect the American Embassy in Baghdad.
Having occupied crucial sections of Syria over the past year, and more recently seizing vast areas of Iraq, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria controls territory greater than many countries and now rivals al-Qaeda as the world's most powerful jihadist group.
Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Speaker John A. Boehner, said Mr Boehner expected Mr Obama "to offer a coherent strategy to ensure that Iraq does not descend further into lawless barbarism".
"We spent years, vast sums of money, and – most importantly – thousands of American lives to improve Iraq's security and make America safer," Mr Boehner's spokesman said. "Squandering that legacy would be a tragic mistake."
'Afraid of a massacre'
Baquba, and the surrounding province of Diyala, is a mixed Sunni and Shiite area, and was the scene of some of the worst sectarian violence in past years. As the fighting creeps closer to Baghdad, the offensive is being led by Sunni fighters drawn from other Sunni militant groups, the 1920 Revolution Brigades and the Islamic Army, in alliance with ISIS, according to an Iraqi intelligence source. Both of those groups have long had a presence in Diyala Province and were involved in some of the bloodiest fighting during the past sectarian battles. The 1920s Brigades were formed by disaffected Iraqi Army officers who were left without jobs after the Americans dissolved the military in 2003.
Residents of Baquba said they feared a renewal of sectarian warfare. "The violence in Baquba will lead to civil war because the villages that surrounded Baquba are Shiite," said Jassim al-Ubaidi, a lawyer in Baquba.
Shiites are fearful, said Jaafer al-Rubaie, a retired government official. "We are afraid of a massacre of the Shiite minority if the security situation collapses."
In Geneva, the United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, expressed fears that the fighting could ignite sectarian violence across the region, and called on Iraq's government to become more inclusive.
"There is a real risk of further sectarian violence on a massive scale within Iraq and beyond its borders," Mr Ban said, expressing his concern over the reports of mass executions by forces linked to ISIS.
Mr Ban said he had been urging Mr Maliki, a Shiite, to "reach out" and engage in an inclusive dialogue. "What is important is that the Iraqi government should have one state, whether it is Sunni or Shiite or Kurds," he said. Mr Ban also said he was trying to accelerate the search for a successor to Lakhdar Brahimi, who resigned at the end of May as the United Nations and Arab League mediator on Syria. "I will try to minimise the vacuum" left by Mr Brahimi's departure, Mr Ban said.

I have a few long car rides ahead of me, and I get so bored easily! I would love to read in the car, but get motion sickness pretty quickly this way (nausea, headache, etc.)
I've heard of Dramamine- does this really work??
Both dramamine and non-drowsy dramamine put me to sleep within hours. Bonine is even worse for me. Once DH and I took some on a trip to Disney world. We were so tired, we came back to our room at 7 pm and slept for like 14 hours straight. On our last cruise, we split a bonine pill in half and that helped some, but still made me sleepy.
On my next cruise, I'm going to try ginger pills. Both Mythbusters and Food Detectives have shown that these have some anti-nausea protection and it doesn't seem to make me sleepy.

SAN DIEGO The theory thrown out by owner Jerry Jones on this year's Dallas Cowboys' defense is that it simply couldn't be worse than last year. Could it?
The Cowboys, after all, allowed the third-most yards in NFL history last season. Some names have changed on the unit, but the early signs aren't promising.
Yes, most of the Cowboys' projected defensive starters were out for various reasons, but depth has to be a concern.
The Chargers' gained 221 yards and had 15 first downs in the first half on the Cowboys. They also went 3 for 4 on third-down conversions.
Rookie running back Branden Oliver had the most impressive half, gashing through the Cowboys' D for 64 yards on seven carries – an average gain of 9.1 yards. He scored on a 16-yard run that saw him drag Cowboys rookie defensive back Terrance Mitchell the last 5 yards into the end zone.
San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers went 4-for-4 with 61 passing yards in the game-opening series he played, while backup Kellen Clemens was 3 for 3 for 49 yards.
On the bright side, the defense did force a goal-line fumble in the first quarter when Jeff Heath knocked the ball loose from Chargers running back Ryan Mathews and Mitchell recovered.
And, despite the yardage and first downs allowed, they held the Chargers to only 10 points.
"The Chargers came out with a hurry-up offense that caught us by surprise," linebacker Bruce Carter said. "You have to be prepared for anything. I thought we did well overall. We tackled pretty well. We have to get off the field on third down, but overall, we did pretty well."
Carter went on to say the defense will only get better, especially when it's at full strength. That was echoed by defensive end Tyrone Crawford.
"Next week we will get a better feel," Crawford said. "With the guys we had out there, it felt good; it felt fast. They put a drive on us, but that's going to happen."
Among the projected starters who did not play include defensive backs Barry Church, Orlando Scandrick (who participated in a few special teams plays) and Brandon Carr; and defensive linemen Henry Melton and George Selvie.

Former "Community" star Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) recorded a really good cover of P.M. Dawn's 1992 hit "I'd Die Without You" over at BBC Radio 1.
It's a nice change for Glover, who's been on plenty of hip-hop heads' shit list's since the release of his 2011 project "Camp," which detailed, among other things, a very problematic Asian fetish. Marah Eakin over at the A.V. club writes that, "It's so good, in fact, it kind of makes you wonder why Glover--if he's off TV comedy now--doesn't pursue more of a straight R&B sound instead of hip-hop."

This is an environment where the teams have all of the leverage in terms of releasing players at any point during the term of a contract. Tom Condon will get a deal done with Jerry Reese.
The little dancer still refuses to report......he thinks he should be paid more than REAL number 1 WRs...time to move this clown and get a football player......the Giants don't need a dancing prima donna with Alligator arms.
Yeah I do realize that, but it is also for strength and conditioning and you know as well as I do, that he'd be there if there were no contract issues. The major theme of my post refers to his stubbornness in not signing a very fair and generous contract offer from the Giants. He wants 10 mil a year minimum, and he's not worth that.
I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it......truly elite receivers don't drop passes the way Cruz still does.
Sign the contract Victor!
Giants have a lot of needs and 10 even 7 mil is too much for one player. Football is not a one man show so sign contract Cruz.
