Retail Technology magazine, the publication focused on enterprise technology use in the retail industry, has been redesigned with exclusive content.
The first redesigned issue, available this month, has been resized and features an updated look and format.
The magazine has also moved from a 40-page bimonthly publication to a 60-page quarterly with the aim of bringing its readers more industry coverage. The first Autumn issue covers the roll out of tablet computers to staff of the mobile retail giant Carphone Warehouse, as well as interviews with those driving the IT strategy forward at fashion retailer Fat Face and bespoke window coverings company Hillarys.
The title has retained most features including 'Ones To Watch' and longer, in-depth case studies, with the addition of items such as the 'Around The Globe' and 'News Digest' sections. The 'Ask The Expert' web section has also been integrated into the magazine.
"This redesign is an evolution of the title that the industry has grown to know very well over the years," said Miya Knights, Retail Technology editor, "so we've retained many of the technology features that appear annually in the magazine. But we've also gone into much more depth on projects that can demonstrate the trends and best practice every retail technologist is looking to harness."

New NCIS Season 10 Premiere Scoop From Pauley Perrette09/20/2012
NCIS: More scoop on the season 10 premiere from E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos
Here's some scoop on NCIS from Kristin Dos Santos' Spoiler Chat Daily for Thursday 9/20/12.
Can you give me some spoilers about the early episodes of NCIS?
Pauley Perrette talked up the NCIS season premiere so much that we wish we could fast forward to Sept. 25 so we could watch it right now! "We literally bring the audience back with season 10 just moments after [the explosion]," she tells us. "The fans get to live with the characters in the aftermath of that explosion, try to find out who is hurt, who is there, what's happening. And then even the psychological effects of something that traumatic. It's quite a ride. It's fantastic. We're so excited about it. We can't wait for the fans to see it."
What can you say about NCIS? The show is just a FUCKING ratings monster and one of CBS's best commodity's. In my life time, only a couple of shows have peaked in their 8th season. Seinfeld, Friends, Mash (I was a baby during Mash's run).
The First season of NCIS averaged 11.84 million viewers. On FOX that would be their number one scripted show, on NBC, that would be their number one show, behind The Voice. That was back in 2003.
During the last two seasons of NCIS the show has averaged 19.46 million viewers in season 8 and averaged 19.49 million viewers in season 9. Those number are on par with the last two seasons of American Idol. In fact, episode 8×13 'Freedom' was viewed by 22.85 million people. That's insane! What a great show. Donald P. Bellisario and Don McGill's great-great grand kids are going to be living off the NCIS syndication money.
NCIS returns in 5 days, with episode 10×01 'Extreme Prejudice.' The episode airs on Tuesday September 25, 2012 at 8pm on CBS.

Mobile Phone Service Provider - Virgin Turns Around Recent Slump in Customer Satisfaction - Roy Morgan Research
In the six months to April 2011, 3 (72%) remains above the industry average (68%) but continues to record a decline in customer satisfaction levels. Optus (72%) recorded a marginal decline, whilst Vodafone's satisfaction continued to fall (65% from 66%). Telstra, still below the industry average, recorded a marginal increase to 64%.
Mobile Phone Service Provider Customer Satisfaction
Source: Roy Morgan Single Source (May 2010 - April 2011). Total main user of at least one mobile phone and gave provider (n=14,523). "% Satisfied" refers to the proportion of all customers who are "Very" or "Fairly" satisfied with their overall service with that mobile phone service provider (on a five point scale). Total industry figure excludes those who 'can't say' their provider. NOTE: Satisfaction score is provided by the respondent for the brand that the respondent has a relationship with.
Andrew Braun, Director Mobile, Internet and Technology, Roy Morgan Research, says:
"Virgin not only has the highest level of satisfied customers, but also the lowest level of dissatisfied customers, with only 4% of their customer base 'dissatisfied.' This compares very well with the industry average of 10% (i.e. 10% of customers are dissatisfied with their mobile service provider)."

The Solar Rating & Certification Corporation currently administers a certification, rating and labeling program for solar collectors and a similar program for complete solar water heating systems.
The SRCC's certification program operating guidelines, test methods & minimum standards, and rating methodologies require the administration of nationally accepted equipment tests on solar equipment by independent laboratories that are approved by the SRCC. The test results and product data are evaluated by the SRCC to determine the product's compliance with the minimum standards for certification, and to calculate the performance ratings.
Equipment that has been certified and rated by the SRCC is required to bear the SRCC certification seal, which shows the performance rating for that product. In addition, each certified product is published by the SRCC in a directory. Each product's directory listing contains information on the product's material and specifications, as well as the certified thermal performance rating.
SRCC is part of the ICC Family of Companies that is dedicated to the construction of safe, sustainable, affordable and resilient structures.

Title: AquaSteam ASM - 3
Post by: llawrence on January 14, 2013, 07:57:46 PM
I have an old AquaSteam ASM - 3 with a timer control outside of the shower. I would like to replace this outside timer control to an on/off control located inside the shower. What on/off control can I purchase for a AquaSteam ASM - 3.
Title: Re: AquaSteam ASM - 3
Post by: Bernard on January 14, 2013, 08:31:25 PM
Can you provide the serial number of the ASM-3 steam shower generator in question? The serial number of this steam unit will allow me to determine the internal electronics and your corresponding operating control options.
It is generally located on the plumbing or electrical compartment side of the steam generator housing.
Are you remodeling the steam shower? May I ask why the inclination to modify the control location?
Title: Re: AquaSteam ASM - 3
Post by: llawrence on January 15, 2013, 12:18:48 PM
The serial number is 5674. We are doing a complete remodel and want the convenience of operating the steam from inside the shower.
Title: Re: AquaSteam ASM - 3
Post by: Bernard on January 15, 2013, 07:29:36 PM
Judging by the ASM-3 steam bath generator serial number, the unit was built in the late 1980's. It does not have the electronics nor technology for anything other than the timer you have installed. It is my opinion to replace this steam generator as it has exceeded it's useful life of 12-18 years (depending on water quality and use).
When a steam shower is being remodeled, it is a good time to look at steam shower generator sizing, steam outlet location, steam bath control location and steam generator installation area. It is also the time to discuss past likes and dislikes to create your ideal bathing experience. There is a science to creating the optimal steam shower.
If you would like, I can review your room layout and make recommendation on the aforementioned as well as equipment to ensure your project's success. There are many options for the modern steam shower including special lighting, seats, speakers, mood lighting and even automated aromatherapy systems.

Mayhem # 1580425
About MeHello and welcome to my Model Mayhem Page!
My name is Dina. I came from Belarus and now I'm LA based model. Also I am a dancer so I bring energy and interesting poses on a table during the shoots.
Mainly interested in fashion shoots and runways. Very experienced and trained runway model that can bring your garment pieces to life! My runway experience includes shows in Germany, Russia, Czech Republic, Switzerland and all over the Europe. Since I have been doing it for a long time I think it is more than fair to charge for my experience and time. Don't do charity or any other runways with payments like great exposure, free photos, free clothes or any sort of other valuable products (well I guess unless its a new pair of Louboutins or diamond earrings lol)
Very responsible and easy going. Not a flake (yes there are still people like that in LA). If I cannot shoot for whatever reason I will contact you at least day before actual shoot so I don't waist your time and efforts.
No escorts, no divas. Just pure professionalism and fun. When I do my job I do it to enhance your and my portfolio or make your project the best it can be.
I'm glad to do TFP only when it's mutually beneficial. It includes getting published or simply something interesting that I don't have in my portfolio. Otherwise, please feel free to contact me about my rates which are reasonable :) Also if you would like to shoot I'm asking for a MUA and hairstylist. Exceptions only for Polaroids.
I don't do nude or topless projects, so please do not contact me with such requests.
I don't check my MM inbox very often, so the best way to reach me and get a quick respond is my email: email@example.com
Thank you very much for visiting my page and don't hesitate to ask question! :)

Dear Editor,
In response to Mr.Hollis' letter, I am appalled at the fact that our county leadership would even think to try to get the Elk's Lodge to try to sell its building or even do infra-structure to meet the county needs.
I am not a member of the Elks, but I have had the utmost beneficial honor to attend many of their fundraising events from its Halloween dance, comedy night, golf tournament, and many other events these people organize to raise funds of those in need.
This summer I was asked to organize this year's United Way Youth Team. We have an excellent corps of energetic, imaginative and hard-working students. Our first event, "Dinner Over Diamond," was a resounding success! We were sold out and apologize to any folks who were turned away.
Mr. Nunz, perhaps the council is listening but instead of listening to a select group as it has for years it's starting to realize that there are many different people in Los Alamos and they haven't been properly represented because council has spent too many years giving in to the loudest group of people in order to give them their way.
I saw the headlines recently that said, "Federal officials on Sunday unveiled an extraordinary takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, putting the government in charge of the twin mortgage giants and the $5 trillion in home loans they back. The move, which extends as much as $200 billion in Treasury support to the two companies, marks Washington's most dramatic attempt yet to shore up the nation's housing market, which is suffering from record foreclosures and falling prices."
Over the past couple of weeks there has been a significant amount of press coverage on the Trinity and 15th option for the new Municipal Building. As an officer of the Los Alamos Lodge 2083 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, I wish to state my disappointment with county leadership and their disparaging remarks about our facility. For the past 50 years the Elks have served this community as a nonprofit volunteer organization, proudly upholding the four principles of our Order: charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity.
Question: How do you ruin a beautiful quiet little park?
Answer: Stick an 18-foot, purple and blue phallic piece of "art" in it!
There is nothing wrong with the piece of art. It is just too overpowering for this nice little park.
Maybe the Art in Public Places Board should take another look at the aesthetic effect this thing has on this park.
R D Little
Los Alamos
Thank you, Mario Schillaci for your well written letter regarding the bicycle-UNfriendly nature of the pedestrian crossing islands included in the "beautification" project on Central Avenue.
Once again this scientific community misses an oppportunity to present its potential as progressive and exemplary in much-needed green technologies and city planning. The islands are a disaster waiting to happen, the complete opposite of bike lanes.
The folks I talk to are so proud of Ken Milder and the council for doing the job they were elected to do and making a tough decision about the skate park using their best judgment, given all the facts.
They didn't cower and punt to an ill-advised referendum – no – they stood firm and did what is in the best interest of all the citizens of Los Alamos, young and old, powerful and not.
I would like to see a cooperative market in Los Alamos and I believe that such a business would be successful, but a partnership with the county is not necessary in order to make it happen. As part of their proposal, the cooperative market developers would like us to pay for an underground parking structure at the Trinity and 15th site in addition to the cost of the new municipal building itself.

We were a group of friends in high school, but i was only close to of them, but we "broke up".. the rest of the people i was friends because she was friends with them in addition to people going there separate ways...
Afteri started uni i have had huge problems making close friends.. i got friends at work and in my class. but no one to hang out with in my free time.. Im so embarssaed by that.. it had been like this for a year.. so my sisters are the only one i can tell about how i feel.. but since im so embarssaed by it (they seem to get friends super easly) i only tell them 90% of the story... so i dont tell them how i REALLY feel
My younger sister would say that im the "pretty sister" and shewould admit that she was jealous of me. and in out home town i was the one with a big group of friends and i was the one t get attention from guys etc. But she is the one with a character, she is the funny and likable one.. and im reallu jealous of her.. im happy for her ofc.. and people see that and thats why she has so many friends.. and im here with no friends bascially.. and i dont really get that much attention either.. I just wish i was her... i mean looks gets people attention, but if they dont like your personality they're gone before you know it..
I just what to cry... i really dont want to admti to my failure as a person.. but i dont know if its wise to hold it in for so long... so any advice?

Greenways is excited to be hosting Briony Penn for the Campbell River launch of her authorised biography "The Real Thing: The Natural History of Ian McTaggart Cowan".
The launch will be held on Thursday, May 12th at the Campbell River Library, 6.15pm for 6.30pm.
The event is free and open to the public. Briony will be signing books.
*News flash* Briony Penn has just been awarded the Rockerick Haig Brown Regional Prize by BC Book Prizes.
Friday, September 4th, 10am to 2pm:
Do you want to make a difference to the ecology of the Campbell River estuary?
Come out to this joint action between Greenways Land Trust and the Nature Conservancy of Canada at the beautiful Baikie Island Nature Reserve to help remove Yellow Flag Iris (Iris pseudacorus) in the Campbell River Estuary. Yellow Flag Iris is a rapidly spreading invasive species that displaces native vegetation, and reduces habitat needed for waterfowl and important fish species such as salmon that spawn up the Campbell River.
Work will be in the inter-tidal zone, so volunteers should wear gumboots and dress for the weather. We will meet at the big log at 10am. All equipment provided. For questions contact Libby on 250-287-3785 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Nominations are still being taken for the City of Campbell River�s 14th Annual Stewardship Awards!
Nomination form and news release here: http://goo.gl/yq7XEj
...Help recognize a citizen of Campbell River who has dedicated their time to making the environment and our community a better place. Tom Easton�s Remembrance Bursary ($200) is also available to an individual youth who has already contributed to environmental stewardship.
Submit your nomination form to City Hall or firstname.lastname@example.com by August 28th.
Seeking Frogger Volunteers!
Greenways is looking for volunteer Race Marshals to help at the #Frogger15 Fun Run in #CampbellRiver on Saturday, September 19th.
Race Marshal are stationed on the route and make sure traffic is aware a running race is in progress. Depending on the station, volunteer marshals will need to check in between 7.30am and 8.30am and will be finished by noon. All equipment is provided....
The Frogger 15 is a friendly running race that raises money and awareness for Greenways.
Starting downtown at Spirit Square, participants run to the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands, then finish again at Spirit Square with community booths, music, salmon burgers, and awards.
If you can help either reply below, PM us, phone Libby on 250-287-3785, or email firstname.lastname@example.com. We're looking forward to welcoming you to our Frogger 15 team!
(PS Volunteers receive a $10 gift card for a local coffee shop - like Java Shack and Sundance Java Bar - as well other freebies on the day).
Last year Greenways and the Nature Conservancy of Canada had a great crew out removing Yellow Flag Iris in the Campbell River estuary. Let's see if this year we can top it!
This year we have two events:
Because Yellow Flag Iris grows in the intertidal zone it can be hard and messy work. Volunteers should wear gumboots or waders and dress for the weather. For more information please contact Greenways on 250-287-3785 or email@example.com.
A white hazmat suit is not typical landscaping attire, but it�s needed when dealing with one of the World�s Top 100 Most Invasive Plants. In July, Campbell River will host a Vancouver Island Invasive Plant crew that will treat dozens of knotweed infestations in environmentally sensitive areas on public lands...
We have been busy out in the estuary banding 200 Canada Geese last Friday! Thanks to Shaw TV North Vancouver Island & Powell River for coming out and getting some great action shots!
A substantial swath of the community, from conservancy groups to social organizations to individual volunteers, has taken it upon themselves to sweep away the pervasive Scotch broom that is taking over large tracts of land in and around Campbell River.
Meanwhile, though, a real nasty customer appears to be gaining a foothold not far off the beaten path...
It�s a beautiful day in the garden as Sherrill Stone McKay and Lorraine Hart tend to their vegetables.
The two are working side by side in Campbell River�s Laughing Willow Community Garden which boasts 20 individual garden beds full of food and flowers.
But there�s one garden bed that�s still ripe for the taking...
Laurel Sliskovic insists she�s no runner.
But watching her steady gait as she jogs up Hilchey Road you�d never know it.
�I just started training on Sunday,� Sliskovic says. �I�m planning to run three to four days a week. I�m just running slow, I�m not racing by any stretch of the imagination.�
It�s been a good year for Campbell River in terms of fighting back against invasive species, but one good year won�t cut it.
According to Sandra Milligan, a biology professor at North Island College and Greenways Land Trust�s resident invasive species expert, Greenways reexamined their methods in dealing with invasive species a few years ago after she attended a �salmon enhancement workshop,� and realized the strategies they had been using in the past were somewhat inefficient.
Do you want to become more involved in local green initiatives in Campbell River, including Broom Bashing? Well here is your chance; Greenways Land Trust (GLT) would love to see you at our upcoming AGM! There are many opportunities to become more involved in GLT as a Director, supporter or member.

All equipment is provided, but please wear sturdy footwear and clothing appropriate for the weather � planting will take place rain or shine! For more information, contact Cynthia Bendickson at email@example.com or phone (250) 287-3785.
The first annual Frogger 15 km run in Campbell River was a great success with over 100 runners participating from all over the island.
�We were so excited to see how the race attracted runners from Powell River to Port Alberni,� said Erin Nowak with event organizer Greenways Land Trust. �In fact the first place winner was Steve Holm from Port Hardy who had a personal best and completed the race in 58 minutes. Sandra Milligan from Campbell River was the first place female at one hour and 11 minutes.�
This September, Greenways Land Trust will be holding a series of interpretive walks on trails throughout Campbell River. Each walk has its own theme, and is led by a knowledgeable and engaged GLT member. You are invited to come out to as many walks as you would like � admission is free. Greenways organizes these walks to celebrate Campbell River's natural areas and to show how our community contributes to protecting and enhancing our special places and wildlife. So come out, slow down for a while, and enjoy the view.

Now�s your chance to become more involved. Greenways Land Trust, who just signed a trail maintenance agreement with the Ministry of Forests in April, is launching an Adopt-a-Trail program in the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands (BLFL).
Broom begone: Volunteers haul out a pile of Scotch broom and blackberry vines from the banks of the Campbell River Raven Channel on Saturday. A strong turnout for this year�s Broom Bash saw much of the invasive species cleared out.
Thanks to everyone who came out and helped, as well as Tim Hortons for sponsoring the event and supplying coffee and timbits.

Trail Tracker v4.0 is here; it's been a while. Sometimes life just gets in the way. But here we are. I hope you're excited for a new version of Trail Tracker. I know I am. For support, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
An Experience with NSData, base64, and 3rd-Party Code
One modernization made in v4.0 was the conversion to NSData's new out-of-the-box base64 encoding and decoding capabilities. Trail Tracker uses base64 to store and export waypoint images. Trail Tracker had previously used Matt Gallagher's NSData base64 category for base64 encoding and decoding. Satisfying as it was to get rid of now-obsolete 3rd-party code, I faced an annoying surprise … Continue reading An Experience with NSData, base64, and 3rd-Party Code
"Current Sustained Speed" (Part I)
A helpful new feature in v4.0 is the addition of live (and after-action) pace data from a trail. After using the app extensively myself for running, I realized that seeing my current mile or kilometer pace is at least as useful as (if not more useful than) my speed. The Problem The speed values that come … Continue reading "Current Sustained Speed" (Part I)

|Non-Pledging FAQs
Zeta Beta Tau is proud to be the first fraternity that abolished pledging.
Zeta Beta Tau's brotherhood program is known as THE JOURNEY. THE JOURNEY focuses on the lifelong commitment that brothers make to ZBT. We believe brothers need to earn their membership every day.
What is pledging?
Pledging a fraternity is often referred to as the time between when a bid is offered to a new recruit and he is formally initiated into the fraternity. For many fraternities, this period occurs over several weeks. Pledges have limited rights and extended responsibilities and have no guarantee that they will become brothers.
Pledging was not part of the founding of fraternities; rather it emerged as a practice after World War II. The unnatural dominant/subservient relationship between the brother and the pledge leads to an imbalanced fraternity. This
imbalance may lead down a path that can spiral out of control, potentially leading to hazing.
How are pledging and hazing related?
Leading up to the decision to abolish pledging 1989, the ZBT Supreme Council saw a continuous series of disciplinary problems and lawsuits that mostly resulted from hazing incidents. The Supreme Council determined that pledging did not promote the values of ZBT because pledging creates a two-tier class system that always leads to hazing. Pledging does not create good brothers — it teaches that once the pledge period is over, there is no further obligation to the Fraternity. Pledging makes good pledges, not great brothers.
What does it mean to be a fraternity without pledging?
Zeta Beta Tau prides itself that our brotherhood is built upon equality and that all brothers share equal rights and responsibilities from the beginning. This also places emphasis on the fact that ZBT is a lifelong brotherhood.
How does ZBT build brotherhood without a pledge period?
Pledging does not build a strong brotherhood in a chapter/colony. Pledging promotes animosity within the chapters/colonies by focusing on a pledge class. Brotherhood is built over a lifetime in ZBT through the shared experiences of our brothers.
Through THE JOURNEY, brothers are offered ongoing opportunities to strengthen their relationships with other brothers, develop leadership skills and become involved on campus and in their communities.
How does THE JOURNEY work?
THE JOURNEY should be utilized by all brothers in ZBT. THE JOURNEY contains multiple components, including:
• Initial Brother Education where recently initiated brothers learn about the values, history and heritage of the Fraternity, as well as how to get involved in their chapter/colony and on campus.
• All Chapter/Colony Education where we promote a balance of fraternity activities in the areas of social, bonding, athletics, alumni, service and education.
• All Brother Education where chapters/colonies conduct yearly programs on topics including but not limited to: alcohol use, risk management, date rape awareness, suicide prevention, health and wellness issues and more. The use of guest speakers and campus resources are encouraged.
• Education by Class where specific educational programs are held for freshman, sophomores,
juniors and seniors based on their interests, such as selecting a major, dressing for interviews and networking successfully. The use of guest
speakers and campus resources are encouraged.
• Leadership Education where brothers will develop skills in conflict management, goal setting and more to become effective leaders. The use of guest speakers and campus resources are
• The Big Brother program where older brothers serve as mentors to newly initiated brothers.

CUPRESSUS arizonica
Arizona Cypress
A tough tree with feathery needles and interesting cones and furrowed bark, Arizona cypress is a tall, columnar, evergreen that originates from the American Southwest. Drought tolerant and sun-loving, this tree has soft, handsome green to gray-green scale-like foliage that is mildly fragrant when crushed. The female cones are round and prickly and are pretty in contrast with the needles.
Grow Arizona cypress in full to partial sun and well-drained soil that is not too heavy; amend clay with grit or organic matter. Soils should not be overly alkaline. Arizona cypress is deer resistant and can handle heat, drought and humidity if air circulation is good. It attains a dense pyramidal form in time and thus makes a wonderful screen or windbreak for dry, exposed locations. Some notable cultivars are the steel blue 'Carolina Sapphire' and bright green 'Limelight.'

Circle Oil plc provides the following information on the progress of the Ksiri South (KSS-A) exploration well on the Sebou permit, onshore Morocco.
The KSS-A well was an exploration well targeting two objectives in the Miocene Gaddari sands. The well encountered unexpected lithology above the primary objectives and as a result, the well has been plugged and abandoned. The technical data from the well is being assessed in line with available seismic with a view to assessing further drilling in this area at a later date.
The rig will now be mobilised to drill the Ksiri West (KSR-A) exploration well in the Sebou permit in the Rharb Basin. This well is targeting Miocene Hoot sandstones in a structurally downthrown location which has been penetrated successfully by the KSR-8, KSR-10, KSR-11 and KSR-12 wells.

This was my first time using Russianflora. The service was professional, the response time was great, and the products delivered were excellent. I placed my order and forgot to add a card. I was contacted immediately to correct this. The items I sent were all of high quality - flowers, chocolate, and wine. The recipient was very pleased! I would definitely use this company again and, in fact, wouldn't consider using a different one. Highly recommended. And I almost never give this high a rating. 5 stars!
Plenty of choice on the website. Once ordered, they contacted me regularly to ensure things went smoothly. The flowers arrived on time and looking exactly as seen on the website. Will definitely use Russian Flora again.

Flower Power
Erin Gonzalez Per. 2, Emily Ortega Per.3
From our phase 1 graph we have only changed one equation. In equation 6 the original would have looked like r^2 = 100sin2theta. We lowered the variables so the equation would be in better proportion to the rest of the graph. The new equation looks like r^2 = 49sin2theta.
Our graph is supposed to look like a flower. The first part of the graph is the center which is made up of a cosine rose graph. The outer petals are made up of 4 circles all similar in equations so they are proportional. The last element of our graph is a lemniscate which makes up the flower's leaves.
We experimented mathematically when we were on the second phase of the project. We were trying to figure out the equations that would fit the graph that we drew in the first phase. We experimented when we were figuring out first, if it was cosine or sine and second, if it was negative or positive. This was not very difficult for us because we are able to graph sine and cosine circles, lemniscates, and rose graphs well. Although we were able to graph them well we still had to take some time to figure out the graphs and what numbers fit to make the equations look the way we wanted. This is how we experimented mathematically in the project.
While we were completing this assignment we learned how to graph lemniscate, rose, and circle graphs even better. We got faster at it as we did each phase. We learned time management and how to get our project done and have it turned in on time. We also learned how to make these different types of graphs actually look like a flower with leaves on it. Learning how to use the tackk website was also something we learned. We have never used this website before this project. These are the things that we learned while completing this assignment.
We did not necessarily enjoy working on this assignment because it was just not something that either of us wanted to do. We already knew how to graph the sine and cosine lemniscate, circle, and rose graphs. It did not take us long because it was pretty easy for us to do. We enjoyed coming up with the name of the graph but everything else we did not enjoy. This is what we enjoyed about this assignment.

The liberals and the media (but I repeat myself) are hellbent on regulating gun rights. Now, far be it from them to use any sort of logic in their arguments, and we don't expect them to understand how if a right is regulated, it's no longer a right but a privilege. So we propose the following:
Since the media is so in favor of regulating the Second Amendment, let's take a look at doing some regulating of the First Amendment.
- Since they're in favor of mandatory training for people to own a firearm so that firearm owners will be responsible, we recommend mandatory testing of all journalists to ensure that they're reporting responsibly. So if they want to write an article on firearms and the Second Amendment, they would need to pass a test to ensure they know all the facts about firearms and firearm nomenclature, the Second Amendment, and the history of the Second Amendment. If you don't possess a license to report on a certain topic, you cannot report on that topic or else you're guilty of a felony. And since things change, to make sure they're responsible journalists, they need to re-test to maintain their license.
- Since they're in favor of a national register of firearm owners, there should be a national register of journalists and their licenses. Prior to publishing any article, they must fill out a form and have their licenses checked for validity.
- Since they're in favor of waiting periods before buying firearms, all news articles should be sequestered for 14 days before publication.
- Since they're in favor of limitations on the number of rounds a magazine can hold, there should be a limited distribution of every news article. After all, one erroneous report or "loose cannon" journalist could negatively affect the lives of millions of people. A distribution cap of 100 people should be more than enough.
- Since they're in favor of restricting the amount of ammunition people can buy, journalists should be limited in the number of words they use and what words they use. After all, words can be powerful weapons, the pen mightier than the sword and all that. So let's limit them to 100 words and no inflammatory language. Don't want to upset anyone.
- Since they want to force gun owners to keep their guns locked up at all times and be required to have biometric devices to prevent unauthorized use, they cannot possess laptops, their desktop computers must be secured inside a safe, and they must keep their thumb on a thumbprint scanner while typing to ensure no one wrestled them away from the computer to write an inflammatory article.
- Since they want to check mental health statuses of all gun owners, every journalist must undergo a mental fitness check every 6 months by three psychiatrists. Anyone taking any medications for depression, anxiety, ADHD, or other mental problems will have their journalism license revoked. Wouldn't want them posting something while in an altered state of mind. Also, their computer would have a built-in breathalyzer to ensure they have a blood alcohol content of 0.0 when writing.
There. Now the American people can rest easy knowing that their news is — at last — safe to read.

The First Amendment is already regulated. You can't reproduce someone else's intellectual work. You can't use someone else's trademark. You can't commit libel or slander. You can't yell "fire" in a crowded building. You can't use "fighting words" that directly promote violence. You can't give defense secrets to our enemies. The list goes on. The First Amendment is not absolute, and neither is the Second.
John Gill Says:

But all those things you speak of are after the fact.
No one is putting a gag on you when you walk into a movie theater to prevent you from shouting "fire!" There is no oversight of the media or blogs or Facebook to approve things as non-slanderous and non-libelous before being published. While there is the US Patent & Trademark Office, you don't have to send your logo or trade name to them prior to using it to get approval. Every one of those things you mention, without exception, have laws punishing the act not regulations preventing the act.
The post is illustrating the absurdity of gun control laws by applying the same type of regulations to the first amendment in order to show how ridiculously stupid these proposed regulations are.

I was hesitant to try this restaurant because of the reviews about poor service. We went here on a Thursday night around 7 PM and there was practically no one in the restaurant. I wasn't sure if that was going to be good or bad. However, our server was incredibly attentive. She refilled our drinks and water multiple times without our asking and checked in several times. We loved our sandwiches. I don't know about the service and crowd on other nights but everything worked out great for us .
We had a group on 9 for a 5 PM reservation. We were seated right away. Food was ordinary. Service was uneven, although the waiter was new. Correct food not delivered. Plates cleared prior to folks finishing their food. Gratuity was included because of the size of the group. Waiter approached me to inquire if there was a problem with the service because he saw no additional gratuity added. I said that the gratuity had been included in the meal. Waiter was not aware. It was an awkward moment. Will not return because it was just ordinary.
T-245 is a great hot spot on Friday - but it is our favorite place on a Wednesday or Thursday night for Girls Dinner!! We want to talk for hours, and the atmosphere is perfect during the week. Plus they offer the great happy hour starting at 4pm every night. Sandwiches and French fries are delicious.
Burger and sandwich joint, great beer selection, fantastic service (shout out to John, a fellow Dead Head!) and the host kept up when he wasn't seating guests-tidying tables and offering water. Menu is interesting, had a bacon egg veggie burger and the garlic fries. Spouse went with the Reuben sandwich. Both were delicious, will definitely go again. Only downside for us was that it is off the beaten path.
We went to Tavern 245 before a concert, the atmosphere was an upbeat eclectic bar setting with a "fun" service style. The menu was limited, but had some unique dishes. It's a great place to go for a quick simple, but unique meal. The wait staff does need a little encouragement at time to attend to the of the customers (we flagged our waiter over 3 times, and other tables had to do the same).
Food was great but the service was awful. We booked a large party (6 ppl). Forgot to bring correct drinks multiple times! No one ever came over to check on us- I had to waive someone down for every thing! There was a food runner that did an excellent job, but over all I felt ignored because the couldn't handle a full house.
Great food for a reasonable price. All the selections I've had from the menu have been perfect. The Italian egg rolls were the greatest appetizer I think I've ever ordered. This place is great for lunch since its so close to PPG. Also great for dinner and a few drinks without breaking the bank.
On a weekend in December, my wife and I and another couple went out downtown for some dinner. After striking out at a few places around market square, we used OpenTable and found that this restaurant had an opening 30 mins from current time. We booked immediately because no other place was even close to that time frame.
The place was only moderately crowded for a Friday night, but there were two wait staff working along side the bartender. When first seated, the waitress immediately came over (a plus) and asked if we wanted drinks, to which we asked for a cocktail menu. We didn't see the waitress again for about 15 mins. No water. No drinks. Finally she reappeared and asked what we wanted for drinks, which we put in the drink order, but before we had a chance to order, she immediately shot off. About 30 minutes later (well after we had finished our first drinks), a separate waiter came over and asked if we were okay. It caught us off guard because we thought we were finally ordering food 40 minutes in, but alas, nope. We asked for our waitress and he summoned her after another 10 minute wait. We put in our food order and another drink order with our waitress. We got the food before we got the drinks after about 20 minutes. The food was GREAT. One of the best sandwiches I have had downtown period. The garlic fries were also delicious. We got our second round of drinks finally about half way through the meal. Then after we were done eating, it was about another 20 minutes before we could flag down a wait staff for the check, which we got without it even asking if it should be split, with items not even matched to their seat numbers correctly.
To sum it up: Great food, awful service
Week nights after work, Tavern 245 is a great place to meet with friends for drinks at Happy Hour Prices and a great burger or grilled chicken sandwich. It is quiet Monday-Thursday so easy to talk and catch up on news. Friday nights are fun - but much more of a bar crowd. It is a year round favorite for my group because we can enjoy rooftop dining in the summer.
Me and my girls went for a girls happy hour. Although we were asked to move after being seated so they could seat a large group, we still had a wonderful time. The Chicken skins and Buffalo Chicken dip is perfect happy hr fare and the long island ice teas! MORE PLEASE!! The nice owner even comped us on the food since they had to move us. We will be back!!
I've been here for lunch multiple times and have always had great experiences. We had dinner here with a friends and thought the roof would be great for a casual evening meal close to our offices. As usual, the food was incredible (although my pretzel bun burger didn't actually come on a pretzel bun? But I had food all over my face because they were so juicy and amazing).
The service was very disappointing. There were only like four tables of people on the roof, so it should have been manageable. Apparently not. There were three different servers/bartenders, all sort of attending to us and not communicating with each other so it was confusing, inefficient and just frustrating. And they made us give our credit cards before the meal? And good luck getting a happy hour menu, because they only have one for the whole restaurant. Naturally our checks were messed up, also. The service didn't ruin the meal, but it reflects poorly on the restaurant. Maybe it's just the roof? Probably why a beautiful downtown rooftop bar was completely dead at 6pm on a Thursday.
I'm sure I'll go back, but probably only for lunch or a late night roof cocktail. Also, the rooftop chairs are super uncomfortable - especially if you're in a dress.
Our server was good -- but we had an issue with our bill and pricing. The Manager, Mike did not seem interested or care to make sure that we were happy . More importantly, he did not seem to care at all if we returned. We have eaten there many times even though it is a bit pricey for lunch. Will definitely not be returning to this restaurant due to poor customer service.
Reserved for an office Cinco de Mayo Happy Hour -- Tavern 245 has a pretty good roof top deck and it is close to the office (so I thought it sounded like a home run). Noted that we had a preference of windows or roof top (weather dependent) but when we got there, they never opened the roof top (fear of weather) -- and the bartender said they sent most folks home (allow they had reservations for 10, 15, & 7 in the main dining floor).
Drinks were good -- nice beer selection -- appetizers were ok but it would have been nice to know that the roof top was closed on an absolutely beautiful day ...
Had a reservation for 3 people at 6pm on a Wednesday. Thought it might be busy because of the after-work crowd. However, we were the ONLY party in the dining room. No one at the bar either. I think there may have been people in the rooftop bar, but I didn't go up there. I was disappointed in our table location. We were seated directly next to the drink station and kitchen doors. The swinging doors and the loud conversation in the kitchen was annoying.
My friend ordered a burger without bacon and they brought it with bacon. They fixed the issue quickly. Other than that, the food was okay. Nothing to write home about or hurry back for. A little bit pricey for what you get.
The atmosphere is nice and I bet the rooftop is cool. Give it a try. I probably will try again myself.

Technical Analysis of stocks or shares prices
Underlying assumptions of of technical analysis
•Technical analyst base trading decisions on examination of prior price and volume of data to determine past market trends from which they predict future behavior of market as a whole and for individual securities. Certain aspects of these assumptions are controversial, leading fundamental analysis and advocates of efficient markets to question their validity. We have initialed those aspects on our list…..
•1-The market value of any goods or services is determine solely by the interaction of supply and demand.
•2- supply and demand are governed by numerous rational or irrational factors. included these factors are those economic variables relied on the fundamental analyst as well as opinions, moods, and guesses. The market weights all factors continually and automatically.
•3- disregarding minor fluctuations, the price for individual securities and the overall value of the market tend to move in trends,which persist for appreciable length of time.
•4-prevailing trends change in reaction to shift in supply and demand relationships. The shifts, no matter why they occur, can be detected sooner or later in the action of the market itself.
Advantages of technical analysis
•Most technical analyst admit that a fundamental analyst with a good information, good analytical ability, and a keen sense of information requires qualification.
•According to technical analysts, it is important to recognize that the fundamental analysts can experience superior return only if they obtain new information before other investors and process it correctly and quickly.
•The technical analysts claim that major adv of there is that it is not heavily dependent on financial statements, the major source of information about the past performance of the firm or industry.
•The technician contends that there are several problems with accounting statements:
1-the lack of great deal of info needed by security analysts, such as a info related to sales, earning, and capital utilized by product line and customers.
2-according to GAAP corporations may choose among several procedures for reporting expenses, assets, or liabilities.
3- many psychological factors do not appear in financial statements. Investor attitude could be important when investors become concerned about the risk from restrictions or taxes on products such as a tobacco or alcohol and political risk .
CHALLENGES to Technical trading Rules
•Those who doubt the value of technical analysis for investment decisions question the usefulness of this technique in two areas.
•1- challenges on basic assumptions
•2- challenges on specific technical trading rule
•The major challenges to technical analyst is based on the results of empirical tests of the efficient market hypotheses. The technical trading rules to generate superior risk adjustment after taking account of transaction cost, the market would have to be slow to adjust prices to the arrival of new information; that is , it would have to be inefficient.
•An obvious challenge to technical analysis is that the past price pattern or relationships b/w specific market variables and stock prices may not be repeated. The result, a technique that previously work might miss subsequent market turns. This possibly leads most technicians to follow several trading rules and to seek consensus of all of them to predict to future market pattern.

The temple is also known as Maa Bagheshwari Devi Temple. It is perched on the top of a hill. The temple is said to be constructed by Baland Kings who were the rulers of Koriya in 17th century.

I do both and I suppose it depends on if I'm in a rush. Most of the time I'm not, so I tend to let them go before me.

Kathleen McCartney, president of prestigious Smith College has had to apologize for the most idiotic reason- Writing the words, "All lives matter" instead of "black lives matter."
Believe it or not but it's true.
McCartney wrote the phrase in the subject line of an e-mail sent to students in an attempt to show support for students protesting grand jury's decisions on the Ferguson case.
"The failure of grand juries in Missouri and New York to indict two police officers for their use of excessive force, resulting in the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, has led to a shared fury—and a deep sorrow. The videotape of Eric Garner spoke for itself—or should have done. In my conversations with you, I hear discouragement as you share how your lives have been disrupted, how you have lost faith in the quest for racial equality, and how you fear for people of color. How you fear especially for children like Tamir Rice, 12 years old, who was shot November 22 in Cleveland for holding a toy gun in a park," she wrote.
Adding, "We gather in vigil, we raise our voices in protest; yet we wake again to news of violence that reminds us, painfully, of the stark reality of racial injustice."
Nothing wrong there. In fact it is a pretty commendable gesture.
But then she concluded with:
"It is my fervent hope that the lives of Michael, Eric, Tamir and others will inspire a new civil rights movement. There are early signs that this is the case, as demonstrations across the country have illustrated. We are united in our insistence that all lives matter."
For those who see nothing wrong with the words, the world has hope- for the rest; it's one big bad world on the way to sure doom.
But apparently many of her students belong to the latter slot.
She started getting backlash before she knew what had happened.
"It felt like she was invalidating the experience of black lives," said sophomore, Cecelia Lim.
"It minimizes the anti-blackness of this the current situation; yes, all lives matter, but not all lives are being targeted for police brutality. The black students at this school deserve to have their specific struggles and pain recognized, not dissolved into the larger student body," said one in an email.
Before long people started discussing her 'affront' online:
If the "All" in "All Lives Matter" is anything like "All men are created equal," I'm definitely not here for it https://t.co/pQ2IFwzUuj — Deen Freelon (@dfreelon)

It went on till she apologized in another campus-wide email saying she had made a mistake "despite my best intentions."
"I regret that I was unaware the phrase/hashtag "all lives matter" has been used by some to draw attention away from the focus on institutional violence against Black people," she wrote.
She is right, there is a hashtag "All Lives Matter" trending online collecting a lot of flak.
But still it is uncalled for to pick up something said in all good intentions and blown away like that.
The fiend of overdoing "political correctness" has really starting curtailing freedom of speech.
In more cases than not it overshadows the issue at hand.
Political correctness has reached a point where people must constantly remain on their toes. Blackboards in school have become "chalkboards" to avoid offending black people. All of a sudden, every show or movie (not to mention company website and college brochure) needs to have a mix cast with a kosher (oops is that the right use of the word here?) blend of skin colors.
Read More: Has Political Correctness Killed Our Freedom Of Speech?
It is taking things too far. Let's just stop, take a deep breath (hopefully inhale some common sense) and work for a better world-not a world that depends more on deciphering people's intentions behind apparently innocent words and overlooking their actions.


text: The incredible 747 House, a Malibu home built from the recycled parts of a Boeing 747, captivated us with its ingenuity. We were so enamored with it that we had to learn more, so we contacted the home's builder, David Hertz, principal at David Hertz Architects and Studio of Environmental Architecture. We wanted to know where the inspiration to tear into a 747 and integrate the pieces and parts into a home came from. Little did we know that there was a ton of red tape, hoops and hurdles that the team had to overcome to make the dream a reality. The 747 House is just the beginning in a series of buildings to be constructed from the decomissioned plane, but until all of those are built, read on to see what Mr. Hertz had to say about this outstanding upcycled project.

Paraview refuses to start after installation of OpenFoam
First of all I have to admit that I am not an expert on Linux. I wouldnt even consider myself as en experienced user. So please be patient ;)
My problem is: up to now, I was able to use Paraview 3.98.1 64Bit on OpenSuse 11.4.
Yesterday, I installed OpenFoam with the help of the description in the OF-wiki
Now when I try to run Parawiew (3.98, not the one contained in the OF installation), I get the following error:
After a google search, I came up with the following site:
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Greetings Alex,
That's what happens when you only partially follow instructions ;)
From your description, it looks like you installed the Qt4 libraries unintentionally, since you didn't want to build ParaView from source code.
In theory, you can uninstall the Qt4 libraries like this:
su -
Best regards,
Ok, so what would be advisable if I AM using KDE?
Hi Alex,
I was hoping you wouldn't have KDE installed :)
OK, I need to know a few details so I can try and reproduce the same error:
edit: OK, I've tested this on a virtual machine with OpenSUSE 11.4 64 bit with KDE and here's a quick test I ask you to do - run in the terminal the following command:
(wmUNSET; paraview)
By the way, I was only able to reproduce the same error, because I also built ParaView 3.12.0 from source code, as instructed in the wiki page :)
Best regards,
Thanks a lot for your effort.
But no matter if I use the alias or execute the binary explicitly, the error persists.
I mostly did this because only with the "ParaFoam" application of the "full" OpenFOAM installation, I was able to visualize the output of the OpenFOAM meshing process.
I actually had no idea how to get the same visualization with ParaView 3.98.1.
run in the terminal the following command:
(wmUNSET; paraview)
If 'wmUNSET' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf wmUNSET
and runs ParaView 3.12.0. After I close this ParaView session, I still get the same error message trying to run ParaView 3.98.1. No matter if I try it in the same shell or in another shell.
wait a minute...
Forgot to un-comment the entry from the OpenFoam installation in the .bashrc.
Now if I enter
(wmUNSET; pv)
However in a new shell, this does not work. The error from my initial posting comes up again.
Now including
Hi Alex,
You can change your alias to this:
alias pv='(wmUNSET; touch case.foam; /usr/Paraview/ParaView-3.98.1-Linux-64bit/bin/paraview --data=case.foam)'
1 Attachment(s)
What exactly is this supposed to do?
When I start ParaView with this alias, I get the following error message:
Attachment 22164
Additionally, there is this case.foam item which I usually dont need.
However, if I change the alias to
alias pv='(wmUNSET; /usr/Paraview/ParaView-3.98.1-Linux-64bit/bin/paraview)'
I had a quick look at the paraFoam shell script. How exactly can I get it to use the 3.98.1 version of ParaView instead?
Hi Alex,
Sorry, I was in a hurry and I wasn't clear enough.
ParaView 3.98.1 has an internal ".foam" reader for OpenFOAM cases. The alias I had shown you would automatically work as if you were running paraFoam.
You have at least two options:
Thank you so much!
Paraview error with foam extend
Hello Bruno,
I'm getting a similar error when trying to start Paraview 4.0.1 that came with foam extend-3.0. I've recently started using Ubuntu (13.10) for the first time.
I have installed OF2.2.2 from source a few weeks ago but that stopped working, recently i installed OF2.3.0 from the deb pack and everything seems to be working so far.I followed your instructions for the installation of FE30 (http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_13.10)
When I want to launch paraFoam having the Foam extend 3.0 environment I get following error message:
ERROR: In /home/martin/foam/foam-extend-3.0/ThirdParty/rpmBuild/BUILD/ParaView-v4.0.1-source/VTK/GUISupport/Qt/vtkEventQtSlotConnect.cxx, line 68
Could this error be similar, i.e. due to installing OF2.2.2 from source (including the Qt4 libraries)? So could I simply remove the libraries as you have advised above?
Is there another way around this, i.e. could i link the paraFoam command to the functioning version that came with OF2.3.0?
do you have any advice for me on this?
Thanks, Martin
Greetings Martin and welcome to the forum!
My first suspicion is that you might not have taken care of how your "~/.bashrc" file looks like.
To help you diagnose this, please run the following command:
tail ~/.bashrc
As for foam-extend 3.0: again, it might be related to how your "~/.bashrc" file is configured or if you were following the installation steps, while the OpenFOAM 2.2.2 environment was active, which would lead to some problematic issues.
Best regards,
Hello Bruno,
thanks for your reply. I think I might have tried to install foam-3.0 while the 2.2 environment was active. Anyways, i got passed that stage by installing OF2.3. which so far works well. My bashrc looks like this:
tail ~/.bashrc
thanks for your help
Quick tip:
alias parafoam="touch case.foam && paraview --data=case.foam"

As the West and Zampella vs. Activision court case approaches, new claims were made by Jason West and Vince Zampella stating that Activision CEO Bobby Kotick and other high rollers at Activision were planning to remove the two developers from the studio, even during the stages when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was in development; being reassured into signing their new contract with Bobby himself reportedly stating that, "it's impossible for you guys [West and Zampella] to get fired." [1]
This new legal filing was submitted by West and Zampella's legal team in response to Activision's previous complaint – which implicated rival publisher Electronic Arts in a $US400 million lawsuit – alleges that while West and Zampella were "still hard at work developing Modern Warfare 2, Activision began preparing to terminate them once the game was delivered."
For those unfamiliar with the current scenario, the case is to begin on May 23rd, in which West and Zampella, former bosses of Infinity Ward, are disputing the ownership of the Modern Warfare prefix and not receiving any royalty payments before being fired. A large group of employees, under the banner of the "Infinity Ward Employee Group" (IWEG) are also attempting to seek punitive charges of between $75 million and $125 million. Activison has also filed a countersuit against Electronic Arts for $US400,000,000 for "intentionally interfered with contracts, engaged in unfair competition, and aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duty by West and Zampella."

Surrounded by newspaper reporters and squinting in the glare of television lights, Fernando Carreira smiled broadly as he held the $45,000 in reward money he collected today, nearly three weeks after he inadvertently discovered the hideout of the suspected serial killer Andrew P. Cunanan.
The reward money included $10,000 each from Dade County, the City of Miami Beach, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and $5,000 from the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau. It was given to Mr. Carreira, a caretaker, because he called the police when he suspected that an intruder was aboard a houseboat. After a siege, the police found that Mr. Cunanan had fatally shot himself in the head before they arrived.
Mr. Cunanan had been on the F.B.I.'s ''Most Wanted'' list since June 12 and was the prime suspect in the killings of five men, including the fashion designer Gianni Versace.
Mr. Carreira's lawyer, David Aelion, said today that his client was considering suing New York City to collect a $10,000 reward promised by Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani.Continue reading the main story
''We hope they'll pay and avoid legal action,'' Mr. Aelion said.
Mr. Carreira, 71, said, ''I'm the one that found him, by mistake, but I was there. I save millions and millions for the taxpayers.''
Chief Richard Barreto of the Miami Beach police said today that the agencies offering the reward had decided that Mr. Carreira deserved it because he reported the crime and remained on the scene until the police arrived.
''This is a happy ending to an otherwise dismal story,'' Chief Barreto said.
Mayor Giuliani has said that the reward was for specific information leading to the capture of Mr. Cunanan. Colleen Roche, the Mayor's press secretary, said, ''To make an exception on this case would jeopardize our reward program.''Continue reading the main story

U.S. Congressman Kenny Hulshof, R-Mo., voted today to pass H.R. 6983, the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008.
U.S. Congressman Kenny Hulshof, R-Mo., voted today to pass H.R. 6983, the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008.
The legislation was taken up in the U.S. House as a stand-alone bill under suspension of the rules, a procedure that prohibits amendments and requires a two-thirds majority for the bill to pass.
"I am pleased to see that the House was able to pass a mental health parity bill that includes the provisions I championed," Hulshof said. "This language ensures the quality and accessibility of mental health and substance abuse benefits for millions of patients. It is truly a landmark day for patient care, and I am proud to be part of it."
Hulshof offered two amendments to the original legislation when it was considered by the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means. The first amendment required true parity between mental health benefits and medical/surgical benefits. The second amendment would have allowed insurance plans to use medical management practices for mental benefits.
Although these amendments were not included in the original version of the bill that was considered by the House earlier this year, they were included in the compromise bill that passed the full House today.
H.R. 6983 amends the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act and the Internal Revenue Code to require mental health and substance-related disorder benefits to be included in employer-sponsored health care plans in the same manner that medical and surgical benefits are provided in these plans. The mental health parity requirements apply to group health plans with 51 or more employees.
H.R. 6983 is expected to be taken up by the U.S. Senate this week as a stand-alone bill or as part of a larger package.
