So, I'd like to excuse my tardiness by blaming the freakish snow this weekend but unlike the suckers up north, I still have power.
Instead I had a ton of backlogged work, decided to do the column Tuesdays and then lost internet about 5 minutes before I sat to write the column. Unfortunately, despite poking the modem with a sharp stick repeatedly the interwebs would not appear and the column went unwritten.
Until now.
I learned something this Halloween. I learned that taking 35 Junior Pee Wee football players with assorted family members in tow looks a lot like a horde of Dothraki horsemen on a bender to people manning candy bowls.
Fun though—nothing like a ton of sugared up mini-football players running amok in neighborhoods.
Here are a few more things I noticed this weekend involving regular sized football players.
Philip Rivers is Broken
We all know being a quarterback is about more than yardage totals, which Rivers has. It's also about making good decisions, delivering the ball cleanly and not turning it over. Playing smart.
Someone should tell Rivers that since he appears to have forgotten.
Tim Tebow may be the worst quarterback in the AFC West but Rivers is doing his damnedest to bring that title to San Diego. Somewhere Matt Cassel is contently mediocre.
Rivers is turning the ball over at an astonishing rate, with almost an average of two interceptions a game. He's got more interceptions (11) than touchdowns (7) right now and we're only halfway done with the season.
In a year when quarterback yardage records are on pace to be shattered, Rivers is on pace to destroy his own high water mark for interceptions.
It's hard to pin down the why. He just looks off.
The Chargers tend to start slow and come on late for a run at the playoffs but if Rivers continues to play the way he has so far that's not happening.
Meanwhile the Kansas City Chiefs are on a tear after a horrendous start. Maybe Todd Haley has a voodoo doll of Rivers in his hobo-licious beard.
Tebow and the Horrible Lack Of Humor
I'll talk a bit about Tebow's quarterback issues on this week's edition of The Hard Count but I wanted to touch on an interesting backlash around some Tebow-mocking going on.
It's called Tebowing, and it comes from Tebow's predilection for genuflecting on or around the football field. There's a whole web site devoted to the mocking of it.
Some people are more clever at it than others.
Some people are more offended than others as well.
Jemele Hill wrote a pretty good piece about it on ESPN.com and she poses a good question: would some of us be so nonchalant if he were Muslim? Jewish?
(actually the folks at KissingSuzyKolber.com took that as a challenge)
Certainly there is and always will be a sensitivity about religion in this country. Or more to the point certain religions, since I'm pretty sure less people would be bent out of shape if he were a practicing Wiccan being mocked.
I don't dislike Tebow, nor do I take any joy in his struggles. But you're a public figure and when you wear your heart on your sleeve—no matter what it is in regards to—people are going to comment and not always positively.
As far as the Lions mocking him? He's a big boy, it's the NFL and far, far worse things are said and done on the field.
Public figures get mocked. Football players get mocked. All the time. Why is it different with tebow?
Maybe because everything else involving Tebow is as well.
Were the Lions out of line? Is the Tebowing Meme wrong? I believe it can be a fine line to walk but don't think that overall this is something to get bent out of shape about. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Who is the Worst team in the League?
I'm ending this with an unscientific straw poll. For the last few weeks we've been inundated with 'Suck for Luck'—something that was a joke amongst the scouting media for the longest time which somehow mainstream media took on as an actual real thing and is beating it to death.
Nobody is losing on purpose. Why bother when you lose by accident so often anyway?
Here are your terrible teams—vote in the comments section. Feel free to enter write in votes and explanations as well. Remember—being terrible is about more than the record (though that doesn't hurt)!
Miami Dolphins (0-7)
Indianapolis Colts (0-8)
St Louis Rams (1-7)
Arizona Cardinals (1-7)
Seattle Seahawks (2-5)
Denver Broncos (2-5)
Carolina Panthers (2-6)
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6)
Minnesota Vikings (2-6)
Washington Redskins (3-4)
Dallas Cowboys (3-4)
Philadelphia Eagles (3-4)
Cleveland Browns (3-4)
Holy crap - nearly half the league has a sub .500 record. Is that normal?

KATY, Texas – Sue Miller Payton has been named director of marketing at Igloo Product Corp. In her new position, Payton will be responsible for all aspects of product marketing, promotion, advertising and public relations, cyber-marketing including all social media, special events and exhibits. She is based at the company's corporate headquarters and primary manufacturing location in Katy, Texas.
Payton comes to Igloo from Fairway Markets, where she was VP marketing and chief merchandising officer for the New York grocery chain. Prior to her tenure with Fairway Market, for ten years she held a variety of senior marketing management positions at Walmart, culminating as the senior strategy manager for in-store marketing, communications and customer experience.
"Igloo serves a broad range of outdoor markets through a number of channels, Walmart being one," said Payton. "Walmart's corporate culture takes some time to appreciate. My time there taught me universal lessons about the importance of clarity in delivering messages and the critical importance of consistency. Igloo has many of the same challenges, challenges that my team will face with passion and authenticity. I look forward to learning from them and to contributing to a company that is clearly on the move."

Cyber Threat to Control Systems: Are Companies Expecting Too Much Info?
The Industry Uses the General Term "Threat Information," but During More Detailed Discussions, It Seems That The Information Companies Seek Is More Like the Traditional Military Concept of "Tactical Information"
By Michael Peters1
A recent GAO report [GAO-10-628, Critical Infrastructure Protection Key Private and Public Cyber Expectations Need to Be Consistently Addressed, www.gao.gov/products/GAO-10-628 ] reveals that a key expectation from industry was for actionable cyber threat information from the federal government. The dissemination of this tactical level of information [See sidebar "Threat" Versus "Tactical" Information] has not been completely met. Because of this lack of information, a company may choose not to implement cybersecurity defenses because it feels there is no threat. I believe this reliance on tactical threat information is a false interpretation of the environment and is a major impediment to securing our critical infrastructures from attack.
I do not believe this tactical level of information is necessary for a critical infrastructure company to implement cybersecurity defenses. The federal government has provided strategic- level cyber threat information to the various critical infrastructures, and this type of information sharing can easily continue, as the strategic threat is the information that the government most likely will be able to acquire and distribute.
However, even this level of threat information really isn't necessary in order to justify and implement cybersecurity defenses. Many threat actors exist today that can impact the security of a control system. If these adversaries are successful in gaining access to the control system, they then can manipulate the control system and wreak havoc on the devices and the processes the control system is overseeing and, therefore, impact the reliability of the operation. These adversaries range from the traditional hacker to the criminal, disgruntled insider or terrorist to the nation-state adversary. All of these adversaries have a range of capabilities and intents, though the common assumption is that the nation-state is the most technically sophisticated, and the hacker the least. In addition, many of these adversaries are capable of very structured as well as unstructured operations. What is crucial here is that the level of sophistication, structure, capabilities, etc., varies for all of the adversary types. So while many feel that hackers are the least sophisticated, least structured and least capable, quite a few are highly sophisticated, highly structured and highly capable. By the same token, a few nation-states are not very sophisticated, not very structured and overall not very capable. A security professional should never fall into the trap of assuming that a specific type of adversary has "specific" traits.
Wobbly Leg?
Understanding these adversaries and determining their capabilities and intents is a very difficult problem and often results in less-than-complete information. And it is this information that forms the basis of the threat leg of the traditional risk equation of Risk = Threat x Vulnerability x Consequences. This lack of information often results in reducing the perceived risk to the system. However, what every critical infrastructure company should assume is that at some point in time one or more of these adversaries will attack them. In my opinion, critical infrastructure companies should assume that the threat level is "1" (i.e., that a viable cyber threat to their control systems exists). Because in reality, what threat actor attacks them is immaterial, as the company and its customers should not and do not care what adversary has successfully exploited the system. All they care about is that the system has been exploited, and the services/products that the company provides and the customer desires are not available.
Now a frequent counter-argument raised by the critical infrastructure companies is that they can't afford to address everything, and without this threat information, they don't know what to spend their resources on to fix. While I agree that their resources are limited, and they can't address everything, I believe that there is a better way of determining where to spend their scarce cybersecurity dollars rather than waiting for tactical cyber threat information that they may not receive and would probably be constantly changing even if it were readily available.
Two Ways of Looking at Things
I think critical infrastructure companies should examine themselves from two main perspectives and not rely on threat information. The first perspective is most directly tied to the mission of the company, whether it is providing electricity, making potable water, refining gasoline or manufacturing a television, etc. One recommendation I make is that companies should create tiger teams of specialists, including their most knowledgeable operators, control system experts and IT personnel, and charge them with the task of developing scenarios for causing the most harm, destruction or danger to company personnel or to the public. These individuals have the most detailed intimate knowledge of the company's systems and processes, and they will often know exactly how to cause the most damage to the company's operations. They then can build on this knowledge and determine how to best mitigate the attack vectors that they developed.

Everybody has some version of it – an idiosyncratic, precise recipe from your grandmother or a plebeian grocery store munchy. We can all name something edible that really hits the spot in our emotional bellies. I, for example, often turn to potato chips, while my mother relies on numerous cups of hot water. That probably says something meaningful about us as a pair, but my main point is that food (and drink) can replenish us in more ways than one.
The classic comfort food for many is chocolate – and I get it – but being more a salt and grease person myself, sugar isn't really my thing. The exception to that rule would be ice cream, the only dessert I truly love and the only one that holds some sway over my emotions. If I'm stressed, a scoop of Ben & Jerry's Pistachio Pistachio can be a kind of sweet solace trickling down my throat. I know that sugar as a mood enhancer is an illusion at best and at worst a crutch that creates more problems than it solves. But in a pinch, it can work miracles.
For me, a book title like "Joy of Cooking" sounds oxymoronic, but I know what the term "comfort food" means. As a healing elixir, as a stimulant for pleasure and conviviality, as an emblem of a bountiful life – food is rich, enticing and potent. That's why I'm surprised to discover that it has less pull on me as I age, a process which seems to go hand in hand with the fact that I can't tolerate as much of anything – grease, salt, sugar, you name it – as I used to.
Nowadays, if I had to choose, I'd rather sleep than eat, and when I go for those chips or that ice cream, it really does feel like I'm consuming empty calories – not nutritionally empty, though that's true enough, but emotionally empty as well. Plus, I come out on the physical short end of the stick – a pudgy middle or a canker sore – much more quickly to boot.
I still enjoy eating. But the experience is much more emotionally rewarding to me when I'm actually hungry. There's something about identifying a true need, satisfying it easily and then getting immediate relief that makes life itself seem like a pretty uncomplicated exercise.
The relative ease of life, by the way, is a new concept for me; I've been characterizing it in completely opposite terms for the last, oh, let's say, 50 years. But eating only when hungry is straightforward and clear. Meet your needs, period. Keep calm and carry on. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Maybe that's the way life should have been for me all along. Maybe all the "have to's" – have to have, have to do, have to be – weren't requirements that needed fulfilling after all. Maybe life is meant to be simple and stress-free, managed by relaxed effort. And maybe you can be nourished by something as undemanding and trouble-free as a cup of plain old hot water. My mother may have had it right all along.

4. 'Venerable Nâgasena, this too was said by the Blessed One:
"This is an impossibility, an occurrence for which there can be no cause, that in one world two Arahat Buddhas supreme should arise at one and the same time [237]--such a thing can in no wise be 1."
'But, Nâgasena, when they are preaching, all the Tathâgatas preach (the Doctrine as to) the thirty-seven constituent elements of insight 2; when they are talking, it is of the Four Noble Truths that they talk; when they are instructing, it is in the three Trainings 3 that they instruct; when they are teaching, it is the practice of zeal 4 that they teach. If, Nâgasena, the preaching of all the Tathâgatas is one, and their talk of the same thing, and their training the same, and their teaching one, why then should not two Tathâgatas arise at the same time? Already by the appearance of one Buddha has this world become flooded with light. If there should be a second Buddha the world would be still more illuminated by the glory of them both. When they were exhorting two Tathâgatas would exhort at ease; when they were instructing two Tathâgatas would instruct at ease. Tell me the reason of this, that I may put away my doubt.'
p. 48
5. 'This world system, O king, is a one-Buddha-supporting world; that is, it can bear the virtue of only a single Tathâgata. If a second Tathâgata were to arise the world could not bear him, it would shake and tremble, it would bend, this way and that, it would disperse, scatter into pieces, dissolve, be utterly destroyed. just as a boat, O king, might be able to carry one passenger across. Then, when one man had got on board, it would be well trimmed and able to bear his weight 1. But if a second man were to come like to the first in age and caste and strength and size and stoutness of body and build of frame, and he too should get on board the boat--would that boat be able, O king, to carry them both?
'Certainly not, Sir! it would shake and tremble; it would bend, this way and that; it would break into pieces, be shattered, dissolved, and utterly destroyed; it would sink into the waves.'
'Just so, O king, with this world, if a second Tathâgata were to appear. Or suppose, O king, that a man [238] had eaten as much food as he wanted, even so that he had filled himself with nourishment up to the throat, and he--thus satiated 2, regaled, filled with good cheer, with no room left for more, drowsy and stiff as a stick one cannot bend--were again to eat as much food as he had eaten before--would such a man, O king, then be at ease?'
'Certainly not, Sir! If he were to eat again, but once more, he would die.'
p. 49
'Well, no more could this world bear a second Tathâgata, than that man could bear a second meal.'
6. 'But how is that, Nâgasena? Would the earth tremble at a too great weight of goodness?'
'Suppose, O king, there were two carts quite filled with precious things up to the top 1, and people were to take the things from the one cart and pile them up on the other, would that one be able to carry the weight of both?'
'Certainly not, Sir! The nave of its wheels would split, and the spokes would break, and the circumference would fall to pieces, and the axle-tree would break in twain 2.'
'But how is that, O king? Would the cart come to pieces owing to the too great weight of goods?'
'Yes, it would.'
7. 'Well, just so, O king, would the earth tremble owing to the too great weight of goodness. But that argument has been adduced to make the power of the Buddhas known 3. Hear another fitting reason why two Buddhas could not appear at the same
p. 50
time. If, O king, two Buddhas were to arise together, then would disputes arise between their followers, and at the words: "Your Buddha, our Buddha," they would divide off into two parties--just as would the followers of two rival powerful ministers of state. This is the other [239] reason, O king, why two Buddhas could not appear at the same time.
8. 'Hear a further reason, O king, why two Buddhas could not appear at the same time. If that were so, then the passage (of Scripture) that the Buddha is the chief would become false, and the passage that the Buddha takes precedence of all would become false, and the passage that the Buddha is the best of all would become false. And so all those passages where the Buddha is said to be the most excellent, the most exalted, the highest of all, the peerless one, without an equal, the matchless one, who hath neither counterpart nor rival--all would be proved false. Accept this reason too as in truth a reason why two Buddhas cannot arise at once.
9. 'But besides that, O king, this is a natural characteristic of the Buddhas, the Blessed Ones, that one Buddha only should arise in the world. And why? By reason of the greatness of the virtue of the all-knowing Buddhas. Of other things also, whatever is mighty in the world is singular. The broad earth is great, O king, and it is only one. The ocean is mighty, and it is only one. Sineru, the king of the mountains, is great; and it is only one. Space is mighty, and it is only one. Sakka (the king of the gods) is great, and he is only one. Mara (the Evil One, Death) is great, and he is only one. Mahâ-Brahmâ is mighty, and he is only one.
p. 51
[paragraph continues] A Tathâgata, an Arahat Buddha supreme, is great, and he is alone in the world. Wherever any one of these spring up, then there is no room for a second. And therefore, O king, is it that only one Tathâgata, an Arahat Buddha supreme, can appear at one time in the world.'
'Well has the puzzle, Nâgasena, been discussed by simile adduced and reason given. Even an unintelligent man on hearing this would be satisfied; how much rather one great in wisdom as myself. Very good, Nâgasena! That is so, and I accept it as you say.
[Here ends the dilemma as to why there should be only one Buddha at a time in the world.]

A New York newspaper is receiving criticism for posting an online map of gun permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties as the country debates firearm control following the Sandy Hook shooting.
On its website this Saturday, The Journal News, using data gathered from Freedom of Information requests and Google Maps, published the names and addresses of individuals with permits to own a pistol or revolver, along with an article called "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in your neighborhood."
The Journal News is still awaiting information from gun owners in Putnam County and did not include those with rifles or shotguns since they can be purchased without a permit.
Despite the calls for stricter gun laws, the paper has experienced a lot of backlash from those angry about privacy violations.
Many of those who commented on the article said the interactive map's publication was irresponsible reporting, and some even called for the publication of the names and addresses of Journal News employees.
"Do you fools realize that you also made a map for criminals to use to find homes to rob that have no guns in them to protect themselves?" said one commenter.
"You have just destroyed the privacy of these law abiding citizens and by releasing this list, you have equated them to that of sex offenders and murders," wrote another.
In a statement responding to the outrage, The Journal News told ABC News that its readers "are understandably interested to know about guns in their neighborhoods," because of the conversation about gun control following the shooting in Newtown, Conn.
What do you think of The Journal News' publication of the names and addresses of local gun permit holders? Do you think it should have put the information online?

What's being said
Andrew, student loans (including law school loans) cannot be discharged in bankruptcy.
Although only 6 in 10 lawyers from New York law schools are able to find full-time work that requires bar passage, which can become a big problem when other jobs may pay a lot less. For recent law graduates that have spent a lot of money on their education, getting the right kind of job can make the difference between paying back their debt and filing for bankruptcy. However, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, lawyers are actually forecast to increase in general from the year 2010-2020. The profession is expected to grow at a rate of 10%, which is about as fast as other professions on average. Granted, lawyers struggling to find work may not find this comforting, but job seekers looking for work can use online resources to help them. One of these resources is www.granted.com, which can be very helpful for recent law graduates searching for the right attorney job after law school.

The Vallejo Housing and Redevelopment Commission will hold a public meeting Thursday night to update its federal project spending priorities for the coming year.
For the first time this year, the commission will look at proposed community projects for Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds through the lens of a City Council subcommittee's recommendations.
CDBG fund recommendations include social service programs, housing ownership efforts, code enforcement public construction improvements and Public Works Department projects.
HOME project proposals include two efforts -- the Community Housing Development Corporation and Hearts and Hands of Compassion.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Vallejo City Hall Council Chambers, 555 Santa Clara St.
The city is also collecting public comment through its website, www.ci.vallejo.ca.us, via its Open City Hall program. As of Tuesday, five comments were added to the discussion, three of which dealt with street improvement issues. Other ideas included removing "obstacles" for new businesses, nonprofits and artist studios to open in the city's downtown, more security cameras on street corners and new gang prevention and after-school programs.

How to Use the Images
All of the libraries pictured came from Carnegie's "wholesale" period of giving.
Questions for Photos 1-5
1. What are the similarities and differences between the libraries. Do you think you would be able to identify a "Carnegie library"? Why or why not?
2. To what extent have Carnegie and Bertram lived up to their claim that they did not care about the exterior design? What factors do you think influenced the exterior design of the libraries in the photos?
3. Do the large windows fit with Bertram's goals of efficient buildings? Do you think it would be practical to have such large windows on all sides of the libraries?
* The photos on this screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Photo 1, Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, & Photo 5, but be aware that each file will take as much as 40 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Not to worried about the play so far, I think Painter is just trying to see what works best in actual games compared to practice, as well as which lineups work.
I think the addition of Anthony Johnson has done wonders for the team, another scorer is always a good thing.
Bigs did not really show up much this game on the offensive side, but I think they have the ability, at least from what I saw in earlier games.
I would love to see Kelsey drive it in more often instead of settling for the 3.
One more thing, Lawson's crazy athleticism is why he is not redshirting, he will be one of those guys that makes people question their shot when driving in, big plus.
Why so SERIOUS
When you pride yourself on running a classic motion and never deviating but you don't screen off the ball or have a big that can flash to the FT line, you're not running a motion.
I'm all for discipline and structure in an offense, but when it's not working you've got to have a fall back, at least against a team like High Point. I very much like Lewis Jackson's game, but he's a senior that's 5'9 in heels, in 4 years the kid can't develop a consistent jumper to punish teams for sagging off him to try and stop his dribble drive? He's a deadly weapon that's never going to happen. That was an embarrassing display and Purdue should have lost that game. Good luck chucking 30 3s a night when you're playing actual teams, Jim O'Brien'd be proud.
You guys are really going to miss Johnson's defense down low. No reason Iona (although I think the Gaels are pretty good) should drop 50 points in a half on you. No reason whatsoever.
That's a lot of points.
That was Kelsey's best shot of the game, but his overall play has been extremely questionable. It does not seem like he is mentally in the game, missed lay ups, bad shots.
Also Johnson not being there will hurt, but I think that we just have been having a lot of mismatches, they are much stronger than us down low, and they are also hitting a bunch of shots.
Not sure how of that will change this year but we have to get better in team defense, especially help defense.
Why so SERIOUS
I don't know this team.
can't see the game, but how is it looking? box score tells a sad story...at the rate marcius and carroll are going, we might as well have kept Bade around...
Barlow is the big difference I think, oh well this will probably be a lose for us, but we will see.
Why so SERIOUS
Seems like a lot of running and shooting and not much defense. Purdue has the ball down by 2 with 33.6 seconds left
Why so SERIOUS
Big 3 by Hummel, I bet he is happy to have that feeling of making go ahead shots with time running down.
Why so SERIOUS
WOW, purdue has gotten lucky these last two games, wow, bad move by IONA.
Why so SERIOUS
Spoke to spoke too soon, I am pretty sure that they will be on the practice court after this game to shoot free throws for a HR
Why so SERIOUS
I have no idea what to make of this team right now. They really need a lot of work.
Yeah, you guys don't look good.
Big Ten front courts might have a field day on you guys if Carroll doesn't drastically improve.
Discouraging for sure.
I think Sandi will be more of the defensive presence that we are looking for, he just needs to learn how not to foul first.
Why so SERIOUS
I thought they looked pretty damn lethargic
It ought to be interesting today against Temple. It will be quite a change from running and gunning against Iona to playing Temple's zone.
I've actually had pretty low expectations for this team from the beginning. Without Hummel they'd be one of the 3-4 worst teams in the Big 10. Given my expectations, I've been pleasantly surprised by the results, especially yesterday's against Iona. I'd guess that Iona would be a middle of the pack team in the Big 10 this season, so I'm not going to complain.
What I've noticed so far is that this team lacks really good individual defenders and is not playing good enough team defense to make up for it. In the starting 5, only Jackson and Barlow can physically keep up with their men, and they're both very inconsistent mentally. Lawson is the only shotblocker on the roster. The defense worked against a far less talented team in NI, but both High Point and Iona had some pretty talented individuals who were able to beat there man and score pretty regularly. Still, even with the deficiencies, if they were making FT's neither of those games would have been in question at the end like they were.
One thing that I'm happy about so far is that Anthony Johnson looks like the best recruit since the Hummel class. Lawson looks like he'll be a player to once he learns an offensive skill other than jumping. Sadly, he's been our best defensive big so far.
Temple will be interesting and a much better preview of the Big 10 season. It'll be interesting to play a team with legitimate size and see how they hold up.

I'm nervous about the game today. I agree on AJ though, I am really excited about him.
Robbie played 35 minutes yesterday. They've been handling him with kid gloves, but this will be his first time this season playing games on consecutive days. We'll really need him to win this game.

Topic: Invitation to Sign Consensus Letter
Supporting the Proposed Federal Rule to Expand the Rights of Individuals to Access Their Test Results
Please know that deadline for signature is October 23rd.
The Genetic Alliance http://www.geneticalliance.org/ is taking the position that individuals need quick, convenient access to their medical records in order to better manage their health. Patients' rights should include direct access to their lab results, just like all their other medical records.
The 2009 HITECH law modernized patient access rights by allowing individuals to get copies of their medical records in electronic format. Unfortunately, however, patients' access rights do not include lab test results. Lab test results are in a uniquely restricted category compared to otherhealth information, which impairs patients' ability to see, save, use, and share their own test results.
If you would like to support their position to allow you being entitled access to your lab test then please, contact

Far from the vines and the work of the farm is the place where much of the wine goes: the city. And while it is great to get to Italy and head for the agriturismos and castellos and spiaggias, from time to time, the urban pilgrimage must be made.
Rome always seems to be along the way, a place to get caught up on the time zone, grab a meal, visit a spot or two and move on. But Rome is more than a layover. For me once, it was a whole summer: I fell in love with the Eternal City.
Fellini made sure I would come back, once I saw his films. Odd, I probably know Paris better, but Rome has a few secrets of mine stashed away in the ancient neighborhoods.
Could you spend a week there? One could spend a lifetime there and never completely know the place. There is an erratic rhythm to Rome. It doesn't always hum. But a Saturday night, making the passeggiata, arm-in-arm, with all of Rome is an experience I wish everyone could have. It is like walking with history, with the old citizens from thousands of years ago, as well as the new pulsating life to come under the cobblestones. Rome could exist on its own, transplanted to an island or another planet, I am sure of this.
I rarely go there these days. I have less time and patience with the mind-numbing tourists that block a painting or complain about a line into a cathedral. And when they are turned away because they aren't dressed appropriately, please. I would rather just be in a cool little café with a fan and a liter of Colli Albani Bianco poured from an earthenware pitcher.
Not to say it isn't a casual city. For sure, there are folks who use Rome as their living room, bedroom, even bathroom. But it's all in the delivery and the intention. There are Romans who see the city as their home, literally, and they use the parks and the trattorias and the churches to live out their lives. A mixture of ancient layered with whatever we have dreamt up lately, it all goes onto the buffet for the pranzo.
A party among Romans feels like a celebration among souls who have spent many lifetimes among themselves. There is a familiarity and a cousin-ness that makes a party seem more like a family reunion. Really the only place on earth I have ever felt that. Perhaps one could say the Bay Area of Northern California in the late 60's-early 70's, but so far only a generation of that, not 90 or 100 generations of the kind of energy I feel in the hills of Rome.
And the food and the wine, not just from the surrounding areas. Also from distant cultures and epochs: foods from the Jews, the Greeks, the French, the Africans, and on. Rome is a city where, if you go into a small trattoria, you might find a wine list not only with wine from the local region or Italy, but even from vineyards in France, and beyond. Everyone goes to Rome, even born-in-a-bubble American politicians, though they never stay there long enough to have the spirit of the place (or the history) rub off on them in any beneficial manner.
For years my favorite place to stay would be the Raphael, between Piazza Navona and Piazza Pantheon. It is a small hotel, away from the traffic and the noise of the modern city. The rooms often look out onto a private garden; there is a sense of serenity in the space. One of my joys would be to get into the room after traveling from The States. I'd take a shower in the Roman water, a baptism of sorts in the soft embrace that the ancients would have known. Then a short, sweet, nap. A blessed slumber. Just enough to get disoriented in the late afternoon, and take to the streets in search of dinner.
Fortunato al Pantheon, a short walk from the hotel, would always have a plate of artichokes or string beans, some appetizer thing fresh from the sea, an out-of-this-world pasta or gnocchi, and a roasted fish with lemon and olive oil. There, one can order any kind of wine, so perhaps a bottle of Gavi or Prosecco to start, moving into a rosato from Tuscany, and either staying there or going to a light red like something from the Maremma or from Valtellina, or perhaps Campania or Sicily. Fortunato will guide, so one doesn't really need to study up on it. In fact, for me, the beauty of Rome is to simply arrive. The city will cradle you upon its bosom and fill you with all the knowledge and experience that you will need for your time there.
On my first trip to Rome, I was as helpless as Romulus and Remus. I landed on August 15, Ferragosto, a national holiday. There was no place to exchange money, and I had no Lira. I walked around the Stazione Termine, the train station, and found a small pensione, with a lady who took me in and rented me a (shared) room with a bathroom down the hall. I still have fond memories of landing in a foreign country, unknown by anyone, and being treated with kindness and hospitality.
That Rome still exists. You might choose to stay in a 3- or a 4-star hotel, but one can find an overlapping sense of an ancient cult, maybe Cybele or Dionysius. Don't think of Rome as merely a hotel stop before or after a trip, or just a repository of museum artifacts. It is a vibrating, living city that has had more experience being a city than most urban areas on earth. It is the birthplace of ancient love and drama, with a little tragedy and a lot of patina. For the traveler along the wine trail, it is a place to stop and savor timelessness.

This is a rock that was found near the Des Moines River in Iowa near Tracy Iowa. It fits in your hand as I am holding it with groves your fingers fit in and when held in the right hand the thumb fits on a spot that feels like it was worn down by thumbs of hands using it or purposely worn to fit the thumb. 2 suggestions are as a palm protector when starting a fire with a stick or a little hand held bowl for grinding something. I have some more pictures I can post of the back and bottom side when I find them. I sure would like to know what it is and what it might be worth. When I can I will post more pics. Any info anyone can give me would be great. Thanks for looking. John

A REVIEW of urgent care services across the area has been launched which could see the minor injuries unit at Malton Hospital returning to 24/7 opening.
NHS Scarborough and Ryedale Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) launched a 12-week initiative on Monday to gather the views of residents on plans for redesigning local urgent health care services.
Urgent care is classed as care for a sudden illness or injury that needs to be treated fast, but is not a 999 emergency. Patients do not need an appointment to access an urgent care service.
Under the proposals, two urgent care services would be established – one in Ryedale and the other in Scarborough.
The current system includes the minor injuries unit at Malton Hospital, a walk-in service at Castle Health Service, in Scarborough, and the GP out-of-hours service, from 6.30pm to 8am. About 3,000 patients access urgent care services in the area every month.
NHS Scarborough and Ryedale Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is proposing that the urgent care centre in Ryedale will provide a smaller range of services than the centre in Scarborough, however, access will be better than at present, particularly in terms of opening times, which will be 24/7, 365 days a week.
It is aimed to launch the new service by April 2015.
Dr Omnia Hefni, local GP and urgent care lead for NHS Scarborough and Ryedale CCG, said: "Unless people tell us what they want we cannot provide them with what they need, so we do need as many views as possible. Although it makes sense to have the centre at Malton Hospital, it may be that people would like to see it elsewhere in Ryedale.
"From feedback we have already obtained from patients and clinicians in the area, and in line with national evidence, we have been able to develop a draft proposal and want to share this with the wider public to ensure that any service we develop not only enhances patient experience, but also results in a more efficient and cost-effective service."
A campaign, launched by district and county councillor Lindsay Burr in 2012 gathered more than 10,000 signatures on a petition and was followed by a march through the town following a cut in opening hours at Malton minor injuries unit. The unit reopened at weekends last August, but remains closed in the evenings.
Councillor Burr said although she had not studied the fine details of the proposals yet, it sounded, in general, like a positive step forward.
"Our campaign not to close Malton minor injuries unit always focused on the need for the service locally to continue," she said.
"This proposal would ensure the long-term future of Malton hospital and ease the acute problems in our A&Es. I will be working very closely with the CCG and the local doctors, to ensure we get the best outcome and I will also be attending as many meetings as possible to ensure residents views are at the forefront of the proposals."
A public meeting will be held at Ryedale District Council offices on Wednesday, February 26, at 7pm.

More than 30 scientists from 11 states and four countries, led by Hamilton College Geosciences Professor Eugene Domack, will embark in January 2010 upon one of the most complex interdisciplinary Antarctic expeditions ever funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). During the two-month trip the scientists will be addressing a significant regional problem with global change implications, the abrupt environmental change in Antarctica's Larsen Ice Shelf System. The expedition is part of the NSF's International Polar Year (IPY) program.
By making use of a marine research platform as well as two helicopters and an undersea remotely operated vehicle (ROV), the team will work collaboratively to answer vital questions with regard to: the stability of the Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet and the remainder of the Larsen Ice Shelf; the response, or contribution, of oceanographic systems to ice shelf disintegration; the climate history of the Peninsula as recorded in ice and sediment core samples; and the biogeography of life in extreme environments.
The helicopters will allow scientists to retrieve ice core samples and deploy geologists to the regional bedrock, while the ship will generate swath maps of the sea floor. The undersea ROV will video and sample the ocean floor. The undersea ROV will video and record the ocean floor. Additional sediment core samples will be retrieved with equipment on the research ship.
As part of the this initiative, Hamilton College has been awarded two related NSF grants for work directed by Domack, the Joel W. Johnson Family Professor of Environmental Studies, and Associate Professor of Biology Michael McCormick. "Our work contributes to the understanding of these climatic changes -- where they are occurring first and with greatest magnitude and impact upon the environment," says Domack.
During his 2004 expedition, Domack and his team discovered an underwater volcano in the Antarctic Sound. In 2005, he returned to study the causes of the collapse of the Larsen B ice shelf. This had been the original focus in 2004 when thick ice prevented access to the area. Using an underwater video sled to map the seafloor landscape during the 2005 trip, the team discovered a cold-vent chemotrophic ecosystem.
In the August 2005 issue of the journal Nature, Domack published the first evidence that the collapse of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf was unprecedented during the past 10,000 years. Using data collected from sediment core samples in the vicinity of the former ice shelf, Domack and his colleagues concluded that the Larsen ice shelf had been intact but was slowly thinning during the course of the current interglacial period. Since 1987, Domack has taken more than 100 undergraduates to Antarctica from Hamilton and other colleges and universities.
As a graduate student in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Tulane University, Kimberly Roe '08 participated on the 2010 leg of the LARISSA project alongside Hamilton professor Eugene Domack and collaborators.
Rowe's roles during the 2010 cruise, her second time visiting the Antarctic Peninsula, included sharing stories and pictures for the cruise's weekly blog as well as collecting and analyzing the particulate organic matter suspended in the water column in the Larsen System, which she hoped to incorporate into her Ph.D thesis.

19 fun car road trip activities
Turn an ordinary drive into a world of fun adventures and possibilities. more
Isn't there just something about summer that makes you want to get out and do something active? Why not find something active that you can do AND include the kids? Healthy parents breed healthy kids and there's nothing better than a healthy, happy family. Here are some fun things to do together:
Depending on the age of your children, there are a wide range of sports you can play as a family. Whether it's golf, tennis, kayaking, bike riding or OzTag footy - getting active together is so much easier when you have an organised sport to play. Not only will you get fitter actually competing, but everyone plays better when there's training involved.
If your sport doesn't have organised training sessions, make them yourself. Set a date on the calendar, work out a session that involves increasing your physical fitness and improving your skills (through repetitions of drills) and get training.
When's the next fun run near you? Mark the date on the calendar and start training. Most fun runs are anything from two to 10kms, so it helps to get your body prepared early. Set up a training schedule, work out what you're going to wear for the run itself (comfortable layers, good shoes and socks) and start training.
Build up to your distance. Map out a distance 1km from your house first and walk there and back - training in the shoes and clothing you'll wear for the fun run (best to find out now if they chafe or are uncomfortable rather than in the race). Build up to the full race distance in the week leading up to the race. On the day, have a healthy breakfast, slap on some sunscreen and a hat, bring along plenty of water - and have fun!
Make it a tradition to go for a family walk after dinner every night. Once the dishes are stacked away, go for a neighbourhood wander. It's a great way to find the time for a chat and to get active in an easy way.
Take it slow, particularly when you have littlies who want to meander along checking everything out. Walk at their pace - not at your usual clip. If you see your neighbours, stop and say hi. Who knows? New friendships could be made.
Swimming's a great family activity. Whether it's in your backyard, at a local indoor or outdoor pool or at an ocean baths. Ideally, every child should be able to swim 50 metres, so swimming together is a great way to ensure that your kids build up the endurance they need to make the distance.
Leisurely laps of breaststroke are ideal for exercising your body and your mouth as you get to chat at the same time. Switch your strokes regularly, mixing up faster strokes like freestyle, with slower breaststroke. For younger kids, give them a kickboard and flippers to keep up with the parents and older kids - they'll build endurance and improve their skills.
Bike riding is a lovely way to bond. Search online for some bike trails in your area and set out for a family bike ride.
Prepare yourself by applying sunscreen, making sure helmets are correctly fitted, filling up your water bottles and running through the road rules. Don't be too ambitious to begin with, and make sure you reward yourselves at the end with a picnic or even by stopping off for an ice cream cone as a treat.
Need some bread or milk? Don't drive to the shops - walk! Experts recommend incidental exercise as a great way to boost your fitness without even thinking about it. Think about how many journeys of less than 1km you make, then work out how to fit in the time to walk rather than drive.
We often bemoan that we can't find the time to exercise, but it's not a matter of 'finding' time, it's a matter of making it. Can you get up earlier so you can walk to school drop-off rather than drive? How many times do you duck down to the local shop in the car when you could've walked? Walking rather than driving is the perfect way to get more active together.
We've all been guilty of grudgingly going to the park and inattentively pushing our child on the swing with one hand, smartphone in the other. But what a waste of an opportunity to be active together!
There's no age limit for swings. Rather than simply pushing your child, get on and have a swing yourself. Take a ball, a kite or a Frisbee to the park to really give you an excuse to run around. Use the park as an outdoor gym! Have sit up competitions, use a park bench to do triceps dips and push ups. What else can you do?

Cobalt Blue (PB28) 5ml Tube, DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolor
This neutral, non-staining primary blue will subtly modify most pigments. Considered a "mixing pigment", its transparent nature can cast a giant reticulating shadow. An inorganic pigment, it is considered transparent, non-staining (or low-tinting) and ideal for glazing methods. Its ability to create soft edges, to lift and to mix readily makes Cobalt Blue a valuable contribution to watercolor palettes.

A Technical Cliff Approaches
The S&P 500 is fast approaching a technical cliff -- one defined by an uptrend line drawn off the lows of the last 12 months. A break below this support could trigger a waterfall decline similar to those seen in April 2010 and August 2011.S&P 500 -- Weekly (Two Years) Source: StockCharts.com View Chart »
A two-year weekly chart shows the uptrend line and a horizontal support level that have formed a triangular support zone, marked in red. Maintaining the integrity of this zone is key to preventing deeper declines in the index. The chart presents a simple technical picture composed of trendlines and basic price and volume indicators. I have used it in previous pieces to highlight reversals that have followed coordinated crossovers in the indicators.

THE tale of a Torfaen prisoner of war who was determined to make his way home after escaping has been uncovered by his granddaughter.
Robert Phillips, of Llandowlais Street, Cwmbran, never spoke to his family about the events that occurred after he, age 21, signed up to fight during the First World War in 1914.
But his story has been uncovered by his granddaughter Lynda Osborne, 64, after started her research 20 years ago.
She said: "My father, Glyndwr, only knew that his father has been a prisoner of war and escaped, and later died in Bedwas Pit, when my father was only eight.
"My interest grew when I discovered a war medal in a button box belonging to my grandmother, Mary Jane, and my father said that she had sold two of them."
Mrs Osborne learned that her grandfather had written a diary after he returned from war, so her first task was copying out the diary using an eye glass so that her father could read it.
She then tracked down the missing two medals and bought them back from a private seller and presented them to her father for his birthday.
Mrs Osborne said: "I started writing letters and door knocking in areas where my grandfather lived to uncover his story."
After signing up, Pvt Phillips was sent to the Western Front with the Welsh Regiment in early 1915, where he fought in the trenches.
He was involved in the Second Battle of Ypres in May 1915, where the platoon was gassed by the Germans.
Pvt Phillips survived the attack, while over 59,000 other Brits died.
With little protection, soldiers used material soaked in bicarbonate of soda or cotton pads that soaked in urine, to protect against the chlorine gas.
But he was captured by the Germans while fighting in Vermelles, where he was taken to Germany as a prisoner of war and arrived at a camp in Homsburg in western Germany.
He was held there for 15 months, he documents "hellish conditions" where "prisoners were regularly beaten by guards" and Pvt Phillips was forced to work in a mine.
The men were given one small loaf bread divided amongst ten men to eat.
Pvt Phillips hatched a plan of escaped after realising that the camp was vulnerable during the changing of the guard.
He learnt the routines of the guards before walking out of the front gate during one late night shift change.
He travelled by night, navigating northward by the stars, to make it to Holland.
Mrs Osborne explained that her grandfather would raid homes for food or kill chickens and take the eggs from farms along the 200 mile route.
He would sleep in holes that he dug and eventually made it to the border, where it is believed he was helped by a family in Holland and either returned him to British forces or arranged for passage back to England smuggled aboard a ship.
Mrs Osborne recalls how her father, who passed away last year, told her that his father returned covered in fleas and suffering from trench foot but was overcome with happiness when he made it home on Christmas Day 1916.
His family home was at this time in New Tredegar and his family had sold all of his clothes and his motorcycle believing that he was dead.
He also lost his brother Eli and brother-in-law Thomas Drummond in the war.
He suffered with the shakes, nightmares, shell shock and had damage to his lungs due to the poison gas and was treated at a military hospital in Yorkshire, but was put back on the reserve list.
Luckily he did not have to return to the war, which ended soon after.
Instead, he went back into mining, moving to a family home with his wife and son to a house in Ystrad Mynach.
But only a year later was killed in the mine in 1934, age just 40 years old, when the roof caved in.
Mrs Osborne explained that her father was raised by his uncle, Arthur, who felt it was his duty to care for the family, and he even married his brother's widow, Mary Jane.
She said: "It's a sad tale that it ended in such a way, but I am so proud of what my grandfather achieved and the fact that he never gave up, and I'm glad to have uncovered the details for my father before he died."

Book your ticket now with Qatar Airways and fly to Sydney for an exciting plunge into the vibrant, cheerful and relaxed city that welcomes everyone with open arms.
No trip to Sydney would be complete without visiting the two most iconic symbols of the city – the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. While the outside of the Opera House may be distinctive, it's also worth a visit to its interior, where you can catch some of the best plays, concerts and, of course, opera.
For a slightly more laid back and relaxed spot, head for the Royal Botanical Gardens, where signs actually invite you to walk on the grass! The other main park in Sydney is Hyde Park, where you can spot ibises wandering around freely, and the locals taking things easy on a Sunday.
To find out more about the culture of Australia, you can visit the Australian Museum, which was established just 40 years after the First Fleet dropped anchor in the harbour. The result is an eclectic collection of European and Aboriginal history, artefacts and exhibitions.
Beach lovers will inevitably head to Bondi during their trip to Sydney. But for a less crowded version, detour over to Coogee beach, which is much more laid back.
You'll discover on your trip to Sydney that the locals spend as much time as they can outdoors – so many of the leisure activities available make the most of the NSW countryside. The beaches are, of course, one of the principle draws, but the city's parks and open spaces are usually filled during the weekend with locals enjoying that great Australian institution – the BBQ.
To see the city from a different perspective, there are plenty of Sydney Harbour cruises to choose from that can include a luxurious meal or a whistle-stop tour of all the major harbour side sights. Alternatively, you can take to the air, with available seaplane and helicopter tours of the city.s
The countryside surrounding Sydney is spectacularly beautiful, and tours into the Blue Mountains will take you into remarkably lush and vibrant forests just a couple of hours' drive from the heart of the city.
Travel to Sydney and you'll discover a rich variety of international cuisine on offer. Leaving aside that Aussie BBQ for a moment, you can also indulge in 5-star dining through to on-the-go street food. Head down to the Newtown neighbourhood for a great selection of Thai restaurants, or to the city's Chinatown for the best Asian food.
The restaurants along Darling Harbour serve fresh seafood all day, while just to the east of the city is Woolloomooloo Wharf, which is lined with upmarket restaurants and eateries. For gourmet dining, you can head into the centre of the city, where internationally renowned chefs run some of the most exclusive restaurants in the country.
If you're travelling to Sydney for the shopping then you're in luck! Sydney has some of the best shopping in the country, and Pitt Street Mall is one of the busiest shopping centres not just in Australia, but in the world. The Strand Arcade and the Queen Victoria Building are the two most iconic shopping destinations in the city, filled with everything from high-ticket branded stores through to boutique, independent shops. For designer retail, head for Westfield Sydney Mall with various international brands and exclusive labels.
Australian trinkets and tourist souvenirs are plentiful at Paddys Markets – a group of markets in the Haymarket district at the southern end of the city.
The Rocks Market, held every Saturday and Sunday, is the place to go to discover Sydney's up and coming fashion designers.
Qatar Airways' flights to Sydney arrive at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, Australia's busiest airport.

Simon Cowell Gets 'Swatted'
In today's installment of 'This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things,' TMZ is reporting that 'X Factor' judge Simon Cowell is the latest victim of L.A.'s obnoxious rash of prank 911 calls targeting celebrities — or, as the kids on the street are calling it, 'swatting.'
According to earlier reports, Cowell's in pretty good company: The ranks of the previously swatted include Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and Ashton Kutcher. That's probably cold comfort for Cowell, however, especially in the aftermath of a swatting prank that had police rushing to his Beverly Hills mansion in response to a call claiming he had been bound in duct tape and imprisoned in his own bathroom.
Appealing as that image might be for Cowell's legions of detractors, it proved to be false, and the LAPD is on the hunt for the female caller who reported the non-incident. According to TMZ's sources, the department has "several promising leads" in its widening swatting investigation — and despite the quasi-humorous nature of these pranks (especially with regards to Kutcher, who revived celebrity pranking with his 'Punk'd' series), they're actually not funny; police believe they're being used to case homes for future robberies, and regardless of the motive, they divert emergency resources from people who actually need it. Here's hoping the perps are caught quickly, and given a few swats of their own by the judicial system.

Cancer Genetics
Different Cancers
My father and two sisters all had/have a different type of cancer. Father died from a malignant brain tumor at age 70. A sister died from colon cancer at age 69. Another sister was diagnosed with multiple myeloma at age 66. My mother lived to 92 without any cancer. My brother and I are 60 and 64 respectively and do not have cancer. The cancers in my family seem so different--could there still be a genetic cause?
While the cancers in your family are quite different, you were wise to ask about any possible genetic causes. There are several hereditary cancer conditions that increase a family's risk for a variety of seemingly unconnected cancers. For example, we often see colon and uterine cancers in the same family with one hereditary cancer condition and in another we see breast and ovarian cancers in the same family.
There is only one hereditary cancer syndrome that could possibly link the cancers in your family. It is a very rare condition called Muir-Torre Syndrome that leads to both colon and brain cancers, but not multiple myeloma. However, individuals with Muir-Torre syndrome are generally diagnosed with cancer at much younger ages (under age 50)than the cancers in your family and there is usually more than one case of brain and/or colon cancer in the family. As a result, it is extremely unlikely that your family has Muir-Torre syndrome and we would suspect that your family history involves a chance clustering of cancers and not a hereditary cancer condition. A detailed family history involving three generations is necessary to definitively estimate your family's risk.
Since your sister has had colon cancer, we would recommend that you and your brother receive colorectal cancer screening. The most complete method of colon cancer screening is called a colonoscopy. This involves passing a thin, flexible scope through your colon and removing any growths or polyps that are found in your colon. Specialists called Gastroenterologists perform this screening and usually recommend that it is performed every 3-5 years (more frequently if any polyps are ever found).

Kozy Carrier
Description: Designed and owned by a work at home mom, the Kozy Carrier is a modern version of the Asian Mei Tai, otherwise known as an Asian Baby Carrier (ABC). With wide padded shoulder straps, a padded curved head support, and sturdy durable fabrics, the Kozy was designed for the comfort of not only you but your child as well. And with its generous sized body, it not only supports your child throughout their legs, bum and back, but it is made to grow with your child. It can be used from birth through toddlerhood and beyond . . . making the Kozy a GREAT value.
With the Kozy you can wear your little one on your back, on your front facing in or out, or even on your hip. You can even breastfeed your little one in the Kozy in the front facing in position. And because of its versatility, the Kozy can be worn comfortably when pregnant.
The design itself is amazingly simple. It's a rectangle of fabric with 4 fabric straps. You just tie it on. The short straps tie around your waist. The long (65") padded straps go over your shoulders or cross on your chest and then tie in the back or wrap around to tie in front. There are no buckles or gadgets to fool with.

During its Oct. 28 meeting, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents will discuss a proposal to expand eligibility for participation in the university's benefits program to include employees' partners. The change would address fairness, equity and competitiveness for employee recruitment, retention and satisfaction and would better position the university to attract talent to Nebraska.
Additional InformationUnder the "employee plus one" proposal, to be outlined by President James B. Milliken and Vice President for Business and Finance David Lechner, the university would extend eligibility for coverage to a qualifying unrelated adult who shares an employee's household and with whom the employee is financially interdependent, or family coverage for the employee, the other adult and their dependent children.
· Q&A on the plus-one proposal
· President Milliken and Vice President Lechner's presentation to the Board of Regents
· President Milliken's letter to employees on expanded benefits
· Editorial by President Milliken and the four chancellors on equitable benefits
"I support extending equitable benefits to University of Nebraska employees," Milliken said. "This includes providing benefits for employees' partners. Every other Big Ten university provides such benefits, as do a majority of the peers of the NU campuses. We should provide similar benefits not only to be competitive in attracting and keeping top faculty and staff, but because treating our employees equitably is the right thing to do."
Milliken noted that the faculty senates on all four campuses as well as student governments in Omaha, Lincoln and Kearney have adopted resolutions urging the university to enact such a proposal. The change was endorsed recently by the University-wide Fringe Benefits Committee, and all four NU chancellors support it.
Milliken said adoption of a "plus one" proposal would bring the University of Nebraska in line with the prevailing practices of comparable higher education institutions and a large number of leading private-sector companies. All other Big Ten schools and a majority of the peers of the NU campuses offer partner benefits. Nationally, more than 300 higher education institutions offer partner benefits, including public universities and systems in at least 30 states and most of the highly ranked research institutions.
Providing benefits to employees' partners is a strong trend in the private sector also, with more than 80 percent of Fortune 100 companies and almost 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies offering health insurance benefits to employee partners. In Nebraska, a number of major companies offer such benefits, including ConAgra Foods, Union Pacific, Mutual of Omaha, Ameritas, HDR, Baker's Supermarkets, Baird Holm and Kutak Rock LLP.
NU should offer partner benefits as well in order to compete effectively in the global marketplace for talent, Milliken said. "The University of Nebraska plays a key role in the economic success of the state," he said. "If we are at a competitive disadvantage compared to all other Big Ten universities and other leading schools around the country, the talent will go elsewhere – which will adversely affect our goal to help grow a knowledge-based economy in Nebraska."
The proposal is consistent with the university's existing policy and strategic goals. In 2005, the Board of Regents adopted a nondiscrimination clause that includes sexual orientation and marital status. The university's Strategic Framework includes several objectives related to ensuring competitive employment policies and practices, including fringe benefits, in order to recruit and retain faculty and staff. The Board's philosophy has been to strive for compensation that is at least at the midpoint of peer institutions. Benefits can account for up to 20 percent of an employee's total compensation. Though benefits have traditionally been extended to the spouse and children of an employee, this has not been the case for unmarried couples, effectively resulting in less compensation for similar work.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about half of the nation's households are headed by unmarried adults. Only about 25 percent of households meet the "traditional" definition of the family – a husband and wife living together with their children.
In 2005, Hewitt Associates, a human resource consulting and outsourcing company, found that 64 percent of companies that added partner benefits saw a financial impact of less than 1 percent on total benefits costs and 88 percent of companies saw an impact of less than 2 percent. Historically, 1 to 2 percent of eligible employees enroll a partner for health insurance. On average, for every 1,000 employees, one to four people will enroll in same-sex coverage and 13 to 21 will enroll in opposite-sex coverage.
NU officials have estimated the cost of extending health insurance benefits to qualifying adults of the same and opposite gender to be $750,000 to $1.5 million based on an estimated increase in enrollment of 1 to 2 percent, or about 100 to 200 new employee sign-ups. Total costs for the university's health insurance plan today are more than $120 million.
The benefits expansion proposal will be introduced for discussion only at the Board of Regents' Oct. 28 meeting. The issue may be considered for action at the Regents' next regular meeting, scheduled for Dec. 8. If approved, the benefits would become available beginning July 1, 2012.
