Legislation introduced by state Sen. Todd Weiler would provide $550,000 to establish a public-private partnership with United Way and its United Way 2-1-1, a number that connects thousands of Utahns every year with vital health and human services.
The state appropriation, sought in Weiler's SB56, would supplement United Way's more than $1 million commitment to the program.
Currently, with coverage in all 50 states, more than 246 million Americans can seek help by dialing 2-1-1. In Utah, United Way 2-1-1 connects people who are facing life-challenging obstacles to the appropriate service provider.
Information specialists direct people to services such as utilities and housing assistance, food pantries, low-cost health clinics and dentistry, affordable mental health services and family counseling.
Those who have lost their jobs, are uninsured or face foreclosure on their homes can also turn to United Way 2-1-1 for immediate help. For thousands of Utahns, it may be their last hope.
On National 2-1-1 Day, Feb. 11, SB56 was unanimously passed on the second reading by the Senate. It was heard Friday by the Appropriations Committee, which has placed the bill on a priority list to be heard again. The bill will now go to in Senate for third reading early next week. If passed, it will go to the House.
SB56 will allow United Way 2-1-1 to create and maintain a cohesive system to better address the needs of Utahns.
A public-private partnership will ensure this free, statewide service can provide quality, up-to-date information to thousands of Utahns seeking information, as well as to those seeking opportunities to volunteer.
We strongly encourage our Legislature to become a key partner and make an investment in 2-1-1 to develop a stronger state system.
The 2-1-1 movement was prompted by a need to reduce confusion about who to call for human-services help, and to promote efficiency and coordination among service providers.
In this age of vast information, finding the right resource at the right time has become more challenging than ever. The program saves time and frustration by eliminating the need for callers to navigate a maze of agencies and help-lines.
One young mother recently dialed 2-1-1 looking for a way to provide food for her daughter. The mother said that, thankfully, her daughter received free school lunch, but weekends were always a time when the two of them went hungry.
A United Way 2-1-1 information specialist was able to connect her to a food pantry, plus provided additional information about utilities and prescription assistance. The young mother was also given referrals to a nonprofit agency that assists women in advancing their job skills.
United Way 2-1-1 received 105,123 calls in 2012, made 164,761 referrals, and re-launched 211ut.org with new tools, allowing users to more easily access the nearly 3,300 resources online.
With the services provided by 2-1-1, there is no longer a wrong number for anyone seeking to find or give help.
Deborah Bayle is president and CEO of United Way of Salt Lake. Craig Wagstaff is executive vice president and CEO of Questar Gas Co., a member United Way of Salt Lake's board of directors, and chair of the United Way 2-1-1 Steering Council.

5 Weird Gadgets for the Cook Who Has Everything

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — Like every manager, Joe Maddon gives his team a speech to kick off the first official workout of spring training. But you can be sure Maddon's opening remarks are not like most managers'.
Here is, for example, how he told the Rays he wants them to dress. "If you think you look hot, it's good. That's my dress code."
If that means slacks and collared shirts, fine, even if Maddon believes such a look is "archaic when it comes to fashion today." Now jeans and T-shirts? That's more his style. "That's universality," Maddon says. "That will always be appropriate."
You might say having such a laid-back dress code has nothing to do with winning and losing baseball games. But you'd be wrong, at least in the case of the Rays. The lack of a dress code really is a larger reflection of Maddon's managing style.
Which is, says Rays second infielder Ryan Roberts: "Whatever you need to do to excel, that's what he wants you to do. If you want to wear your hat (to the side), he doesn't give a (blank). That was exactly his speech."
While some teams order their players to be on the field 25 minutes before games, Maddon gives his players the freedom to wait until the national anthem. While some teams might order their players to hit the weight room before batting practice, Maddon lets his players decide when and how much they need to loosen up.
"The way he sees it, if you don't get your work done, it will be exposed on the field," Roberts says. "He says it's not going to get exposed because I watch it. That is what attracted me most to this team. Everybody in here can be their own person. They can do what they want as long as they play the game hard. In baseball, there are too many things that go into a season that are stressful. Here you have no added stress."
Maddon's way isn't the only one to work but you can't deny that he has been successful. Though the Rays operate with one of the game's smallest payrolls, they have won more games than every team except the Yankees and Phillies over the past five years.
That the Rays have been at their best down the stretch is not a coincidence, either. "That's crunch time, when the booty hole gets this small," says Roberts, forming a circle with his fingers smaller than a dime. "Here's it's throttled the opposite way. The bigger the game, the more relaxed he wants you. You tell me what works."
For 2013, Maddon's overall message is essentially the same as most years and not that different from what most managers will say. Focus on the process. "It's simple but it's overlooked," Maddon said.
But not many managers tell their players that he expects them to make "a lot of physical mistakes."
"The thing I really want to eradicate are the mental mistakes," Maddon said. "That's what controls wins and losses. I want them to know we're going to be very tolerant with physical mistakes."
Outfielder Matt Joyce had a front-row seat for his fourth Maddon spring speech on Sunday. While Joyce has heard the same message before, he appreciated this delivery.
"His big thing was magic," Joyce said. "The championship teams have a lot of magical moments. In 2008 (when they reached the World Series), the Rays had magical moments. He wants us to have those magical moments. Instilling the thought that we have the capability to do so to where we expect those moments to come, they're only more likely to come."
Magic moments, of course, are more likely when you have talented players. To that end, general manager Andrew Friedman used his part of the team meeting to tell his players that this could be the most talented Rays yet. "And I can't disagree with that," Maddon said.
Well, I can. The Rays lost a lot with the departures of James Shields, B.J. Upton, Carlos Pena and Wade Davis. While they still will be led by one of the game's top pitching staffs and strong defense, they didn't bring in much to help their sub-par offense, with attitude-challenged shortstop Yunel Escobar and light-hitting first baseman James Loney the only newcomers expected in the opening-day lineup.
Maddon isn't the only manager to harp on process and belief as camps have opened across the majors in the past week. But he says he saw the look in his players' eyes that he wanted.
"They were listening and were focused and they got it," he said. "They always get it."
Indeed. Maddon's methods seem to be working, no matter how they dress.

Roche berates Tomic as Australia crashes out of Davis Cup contention
Pat Rafter gave Bernard Tomic a rocket last week, and insisted it had been a positive experience for the enigmatic Aussie tennis youngster. But veteran Davis Cup coach Tony Roche upped the ante overnight during Tomic's lacklustre loss to Florian Mayer.
Roche berated Tomic during his 91-minute, 6-4 6-2 6-3 straight sets loss, a capitulation which meant Lleyton Hewitt had to win the fifth rubber to keep Australia in the World Group. For once, the patriotic veteran was unable to deliver, his error-riddled 6-4 6-1 6-4 defeat by world No.127 Cedrik-Marcel Stebe seeing Australia consigned to the sport's second tier for the sixth year in succession.
SEN commentator Brett Phillips said Roche, sitting just behind Tomic, tore into the 19-year-old as he spoke to team captain Pat Rafter between games.
"We don't know what was said, but it was animated," Phillips said.
Phillips guessed that the usually mild-mannered Roche was saying something along the lines of "It's on the line here … can you get some intensity about you?"
Phillips described Tomic's performance as a "really disappointing effort", and "lackadaisical".
"He almost waved the white flag… he just didn't dig deep enough… he was seemingly going through the motions."
Much now rests on the shoulders of the gifted but erratic youngster, with Lleyton Hewitt reaching the end of a storied Davis Cup career.
Hewitt's mistake-prone loss saw the Australian team sent back to the Davis Cup wilderness with a soul-crushing defeat against Germany in Hamburg.
Hewitt succumbed to world No.127 Cedrik-Marcel Stebe 6-4 6-1 6-4 in the deciding rubber as Australia let slip a 2-1 lead in a World Group playoff for a third straight year.
In glorious conditions at Rothenbaum Stadium, Australia's 3-2 defeat condemned the 28-time Cup winners to a sixth straight season in the competition's second tier.
Mayer ruthlessly exploited Tomic's lack of agility to force a deciding rubber. The teenager looked lost at times as Mayer deftly moved him around the court.
Tomic's defeat was expected, but Hewitt's loss to world No.127 Stebe wasn't.
Australia's greatest Davis Cup servant has a burning desire to return the nation to the top-flight before he exits the sport.
And he was favoured to finish off the job against Stebe, the home nation's 11th-highest ranked singles player having lost to Tomic in four sets on Friday.
However the young German had the benefit of playing Hewitt at this year's Australian Open and being on his favourite surface.
The South Australian jumped a tentative Stebe for an early 3-0 lead but allowed the German back in the set with a series of errors.
That sparked the home crowd to life and, with Hewitt tightening up, Stebe fed off the crowd and collected 11 of the next 12 games.
A subdued Hewitt left the court after the second set and tried to mix up his game on his return.
He looked to have steadied until the seventh game where Stebe cracked his serve for the sixth time and the German held on to claim the valuable win.
Earlier, Mayer continued where he had left off from his pummelling of Hewitt on Friday.
World No.25 Mayer and Tomic had met once on tour before Sunday's showdown with the German cleaning up the Queenslander 6-2 6-2 on hardcourt in Brisbane.
The hardened campaigner delivered another lesson to the teenager, using his drop shot to deadly effect against his heavy-footed opponent.
Mayer had demoralised Tomic by the midpoint of the second set with the Australian's shoulders starting to slump.
Australian tennis legend Paul McNamee told SEN that the disappointing Davis Cup result is a result of poor planning.
"In winning matches away, overseas countries are clearly going to play us on clay, which is Lleyton's weakest surface and Bernard Tomic's weakest surface …
"We needed to invest quite a long time ago in more clay courts and grounding juniors on how to play on clay. Surely Bernard Tomic's movement last night showed he's not yet a true clay court player and that probably should have been addressed a long time ago. I do blame the administration for doing not nearly enough about clay court tennis."
McNamee says the current administration of Tennis Australia has favoured blue hard court surfaces.
"This result is borne on the fact that not enough investment and know-how was put into this process five, six, seven years ago.
"I'm just shocked that we didn't learn the lessons from [losing to] Switzerland 12 months ago."

LYE Town chairman Brian Blakemore says plans are already being put in place for next season after the club secured promotion.
Work is already going on behind the scenes as Lye prepare for life in the Midland Alliance after bagging top spot in the West Midlands Premier League last week.
They added the league title to their cup success this campaign when beating Dudley Town 9-2 last Thursday in their last game of the season.
They earned promotion glory thanks to four goals from top scorer Ricky Anslow, a brace from fellow forward James Spray and other strikes from Matthew Johnson, Scott Moore and Steven Weaver.
The win secured promotion to the Midland Alliance and followed up last Tuesday's victory in the final of the Worcestershire Senior Urn.
Blakemore is now looking forward to the club continuing its progression next season.
He said: "I have already sat down with the management team and discussed our plans going forwards. Our main aim is to keep this squad together and add two or three new signings.
"We have a fantastic team spirit so are hopeful that many will want to stay.
"We are looking forward to playing in the league above, it will be the highest level the club has ever played in. However, I don't think the gap between the two leagues is that great. I will be disappointed if we struggle.
"We want to do well, consolidate our position next season and then look to win it after that. We are ambitious and want to keep progressing.
"Everyone at the club is excited and looking forward to next season. Attendances have been up this year and that can only continue if we carry on playing football that is attractive to watch."
Lye's success came one year on from the cruel blow of losing the title on the last day of the season at Wolverhampton Casuals.

In a global "town hall" with young people today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton talked about her legacy -- including the parallels between her tenure as secretary of state and another historical diplomat's -- and her future of helping women in politics.
"I do want to see more women compete for the highest positions in their countries," Clinton said in the "Global Townterview," a Washington event hosted by Australian newscaster Leigh Sales. Several news networks from around the world participated in the town hall via satellite, allowing young people from various countries to ask Clinton questions.
One young person from London asked Clinton whether she would run for president in 2016, providing women around the world with a strong role model.
"I am not thinking about anything like that right now," Clinton said. "I am looking forward to finishing up my tenure... and then catching up on about 20 years of sleep deprivation."
She did, however, say, "I will do everything I can to make sure women compete at the highest levels." Women need to participate in politics, she said, if governments want to take full advantage of their citizens' potential.
"Although it is better than it was, having been in and around politics for many years now, there is still a double standard" for women in politics, she said. "That exists from the trivial, like what you wear, to the incredibly serious like women [who] can't vote."

- Hillary Clinton on 60 Minutes: No tea leaves to be read for 2016
In nations like India, she pointed out, women have won the highest elected offices but in everyday life are still disrespected, as was the young woman brutally raped and murdered there.
"This has been the cause of my life and will continue to be as I leave the secretary of state's office," she said. By limiting the possibilities for women in society, "you are in effect putting breaks on your own development as a nation," Clinton said.
After four years as secretary of state, Clinton said her biggest regret was the loss of American lives in Benghazi, Libya. "We have to understand from the very beginning you can't control everything," she said.
Three congressional leaders yesterday sent Clinton a letter asking for her to turn over documents from top State Department officials regarding the Benghazi attack. They point out that investigators on the State Department Accountability Review Board never interviewed her or her top officials about the attack.
Looking back to past secretaries of state, Clinton said the one she most admires and identifies with is William Seward, who served under Abraham Lincoln.
"He was from New York, he was a very successful politician from New York," she said. "He had run against President Lincoln, so there's a little bit of parallel here in the whole 'team of rivals' concept."
She added, "I like his willingness to work with President Lincoln. He made a real difference."

PASADENA - At least the weather was nice, right Wisconsin?
The Rose Bowl, well, not so much.
We'd invite you back again next year, but after spending three consecutive winless New Year's here - including Tuesday's excruciatingly frustrating 20-14 loss to Stanford - how badly do you really want to come back?
Aside from the chance to thaw out from another wicked Midwest winter for a few days, anyway.
For some reason, Pasadena just has a way of ripping the heart out of the Badgers, their losses to TCU, Oregon and the Cardinal the last three years by a combined 15 points.
All three games came down to the final minutes - and in two cases the final seconds - against higher-ranked teams. Only for the Badgers to come up short each time, their collective heartache etched in the disappointed face of senior running back Montee Ball on Tuesday after personally languishing through all three losses.
Don't bother asking him which one hurts the most.
Because they all do.
"(This one) stings just as much because we fell short when we had a chance to win," Ball said.
Chris Borland, Wisconsin's junior linebacker, agreed.
"It's very heartbreaking," he said. "It hurts because you want to send a guy like Montee and the rest of the seniors out right."
But once again, Pasadena ripped your hearts out.
Your fans arrived in droves, practically taking over Los Angeles with their Midwest charm and funny accents, only to continually absorb quick kicks to the gut over and over with nerve-racking losses.
Not even the return of Wisconsin's greatest good-luck charm - Barry Alvarez, who won three Rose Bowls as the Badgers coach from 1990-2005 - could alter the outcome.
Alvarez was back on the sideline in place of Bret Bielema, who left Wisconsin for Arkansas shortly after leading the Badgers to the Big Ten championship last month.
He'll soon return to his day job as Wisconsin athletic director after hiring Gary Anderson away from Utah State to succeed Bielema, but at the urging of Wisconsin's players he oversaw them through the coaching chaos and month-long preparation for the Rose Bowl.
"I think it served as a unifying factor to have coach Alvarez back," Borland said. "It excited everyone and calmed down nerves. There was some anxiety, so to have him step back in it brought everyone together and calmed people down."
It just didn't have the necessary effect come game time.
But you're not going to win if you can't successfully throw the ball, and you're certainly not going to beat Stanford if you're unable to cross midfield more than once in the second half.
And it's hard to win when Ball manages just 100 yards rushing after averaging 133 through 13 previous games.
Wisconsin's strength is running the ball, but that played right into the hands of Stanford's stingy run defense, one of the top five in the country.
The Badgers kept challenging the Cardinal defense. Stanford conceded yards here and there, but for the most part it stood tall against Ball and Wisconsin.
"Their interior group is very physical and have shown that they do a great job of stopping the run," Ball said. "And they showed it today."
Finally, it's difficult to beat Stanford when you can't punch the ball in for a touchdown from the 1-yard line - after getting two touchdowns taken away by a penalty and an official's review on the same drive - on fourth and goal while trailing 14-7 in the second quarter.
It didn't help they took the ball out of their record-breaking running back's hands and gave it to backup James White instead.
Ball wasn't even on the field when Stanford stopped White for a loss, a curious decision by Alvarez considering Ball came into the game with 82 career touchdowns.
And one that ultimately backfired on Alvarez while leaving Ball scratching his head on the sideline.
"Well, I'm always upset if I'm not in the game," Ball said, diplomatically. "It's just the competitive nature I have."
Despite it all, the Badgers still had an opportunity to win. They trailed by just six points when they got the ball back at their 25-yard line with 4:23 remaining.
When Wisconsin worked its way to the 49 with just more than two minutes left, Alvarez couldn't help but wonder if his perfect Rose Bowl record somehow would be preserved.
"You're close to midfield with a chance to win the Rose Bowl," Alvarez said. "I just felt like maybe we were a team of destiny."
But Wisconsin quarterback Curt Phillips then threw a floater right at Stanford defensive back Usua Amanam, who corralled it at the Stanford 42 with 2:03 remaining to effectively end the game.
For a team that lost five regular-season games by a combined 19 points - three coming in overtime - it was just more of the same disappointment.
"It's kind of been the microcosm of our whole season," Borland said.
"We've faced some adversity, fought back and come came up short."
And for a team that's now lost the last three Rose Bowls, it was an eerily similar feeling.
"Speaking for the entire senior group, this is not the way we wanted to go out," Ball said. "But at this point right now, it is what it is."
That would be three trips to Pasadena and three losses in a row.
But hey, at least the weather was nice.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida Governor Rick Scott is asking President Barack Obama to stop the furlough of air traffic controllers which were ordered to achieve spending cuts required by Congress.
Scott sent a letter to the president on Sunday, saying the furloughs will have a devastating impact on families by creating unnecessary delays at Florida airports.
According to the Florida Department of Transportation, Florida airports accommodate more than 142 million passengers annually. Scott said the furloughs would cause a direct economic output reduction of $19 million annually.
Lisa Shlosser, a frequent business traveler who's Monday flight to Maryland was delayed said that gate agents told her weather was the problem.
"It's definitely because of the furloughs," Shlosser said. "I've been a frequent traveler for years, and I've never experienced this."
Though weather may be an issue, several airports are experiencing delays due to what Federal Aviation Administration calls "staffing." The furloughs are causing air traffic contollers to take off one day every two weeks causing delays in flights by at least 90 minutes.
The governor said Florida communities will be disproportionately impacted because the state has four large hub airports, including those in Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
The airline industry and the nation's largest pilots union are suing the Federal Aviation Administration over the furloughs.

Texas Game Warden Recognized by Texas Environmental Enforcement Task Force
AUSTIN — The Texas Environmental Law Enforcement Association (TELEA) has recognized Texas game warden Sgt. Robert Waggett as the state's 2013 Environmental Investigator of the Year.
In presenting the award, the association noted that Sgt. Waggett has exemplified outstanding investigative skills and teamwork at an operational level. Working closely with the Houston Police Department Environmental Crimes Unit, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and many local and county agencies, the sergeant has handled numerous investigations of major environmental polluters.
Based in Houston, Sgt. Waggett is a seasoned 20-year Texas Parks and Wildlife Department veteran.
Additionally, TELEA has recognized TPWD's contaminants laboratory staff, senior chemists Pamela Hamlett and Gary Steimentz, with the association's Environmental Investigator's Award in the non-commissioned category. Part of TPWD's Inland Fisheries Division, the two chemists were singled out for their work in advising field investigators in sampling procedures and protocols, along with the laboratory analysis and reporting of evidence used in numerous environmental crimes investigations.
"As we see more demand on water, the need for clean water for both people and wildlife becomes more important," said Grahame Jones, head of Special Operations in TPWD's Law Enforcement Division. "Our environmental crimes unit, made of Texas game wardens, is dedicated to protecting our environment, especially, our state waters. Sgt. Waggett, along with Hamlett and Steinmetz, are extremely dedicated and TPWD appreciates TELEA's recognition very much."

Clarets star Mee relishing the underdogs tag

By Suzanne Geldard
BEN Mee is relishing his 'David and Goliath' return to Manchester City next season.
Burnley's trip to the Etihad will be one of the first fixtures the City youth team graduate will be earmarking when the fixtures are released next month.
The Clarets will be going into almost all of their Premier League as underdogs, not least against the newly re-crowned champions of England.
But the 24-year-old insists they will not shy away from the challenge.
"I'm looking forward to getting the fixture list and seeing that you're going to playing Chelsea, United, City, Arsenal away and people like that.
"And we're going to go there with no fear. That's been a big thing for us this year and it will serve us well I'm sure," said Mee, noting how few gave Burnley a prayer for promotion at the start of last season. Indeed, the Clarets were more fancied for a drop into League One than top flight challenge.
But having defied the odds to get there, Mee is mindful that is will be an even bigger mission for Burnley to stay there.
"It is but we got written off this year and we'll get written off next year.
"We've proved people wrong this year and we'll do the same next year," said Mee, despite admitting he doesn't pay any attention to the doom mongers.
"I don't listen to any of that.
"We stick to what we know. We believe in ourselves and that's all that matters," added the defender, who like team-mate Kieran Trippier left Manchester City in search of regular first team football.
Knowing they will be facing their old club in the top flight next season after earning automatic promotion with the Clarets has made for the most enjoyable summer of Mee's career so far.
"It's been a great season and it's really satisfying to look back on it and see what we've achieved from the beginning of the year and everything that's happened throughout the year.
"It's been amazing and I've enjoyed every minute of it," he said.

If our Offensive Line is so bad, why did NY Jets pick up two OL we cut?
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
I like our situation at CB right now. we have Powers and Davis on each side and hopefully Davis can start the beginning of the season. Both guys are talented. I think Davis will do better and not have the problems that had with Miami. We have some vets that can mentor him and show him what it takes to be a professional athlete. I think the O-line will struggle at first, but down the stretch I see them improving once they get used to working with each other and have some continuity. My concerns are will our WR and LB spots. I think we are thin with Collie having issues. I know TY and Brazil looked good in camp and hopefully they can continue to improve with more time with Luck. I would like to see us get a vet if possible. I think we are doing an injustice to Freeney by trying to put him in the LB spot. He has seemed to struggle in this system and I think we could get good trade value, possibly enough to get a descent and physical LB to play in this system. I know it takes time to learn a new position and hopefully he gets it soon.
Need to get another lineman. Trade some other draft picks for and o-lineman
Smothered Chicken!
I would like to get a lineman, but we've reached the limit on trading draft picks so I don't think that's the way to get it done.
Yeah, I think we are just going to have to make do with what we have this year. Next year though, priority number 1 needs to be beefing the line up with our cap space.

Detailed Description:
The human vitreous gel undergoes progressive liquefaction with age. Concurrent with the process of vitreous liquefaction, there is a weakening of the adhesion at the vitreoretinal interface between the cortical vitreous gel and the inner limiting lamina. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a separation of the cortical vitreous get from the inner limiting lamina. PVD is usually a sudden event during which liquefied vitreous from the center of the vitreous body bursts through a hole in the posterior vitreous cortex and then dissects the residual cortex gel away from the inner limiting lamina. If there is residual vitreoretinal traction around the break, this process may induce a tear in the retina that can in turn result in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, macular hole, or cystoid macular edema. The importance of the vitreous in the progression of diabetic retinopathy may also extend beyond tractional considerations. For example, it is believed that the vitreous serves as scaffolding for new vessel formation and may also contribute to molecular imbalances that lead to retinopathy progression. Therefore, total PVD, by releasing vitreoretinal traction as well as other potential mechanisms, may be beneficial in various vitreoretinal diseases such as neovascular AMD.
Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) in exudative (wet) AMD may be associated with poor prognosis in patients with AMD. This trial is primarily aimed at showing that release of VMA can be induced by microplasmin, a proteolytic enzyme, in patients with wet AMD, and that microplasmin is safe in patients w/ neovascular (wet) AMD. Secondary endpoint will be assessment of improved AMD outcomes.

ONTARIO – The mostly empty terminals and parking lots say it all – passengers are no longer flocking to L.A./Ontario International.
A report provided to the recently created Ontario International Airport Authority indicates that trend is expected to continue at least through spring 2013.
Addressing authority members on Monday morning, Robert Hazel of Oliver Wyman, a global management consulting firm, discussed ONT's performance and expectations in the years ahead.
Passenger traffic in 2012 is estimated to total 4.2 million, a 5.5 percent drop from 2011, Hazel said. That's the same number of passengers who went through ONT in 1986.
According to flight schedules through April, ONT will also have 6 percent fewer seats on flights than in the previous year.
At least one reason for the difference is the number of departures from ONT. There were an average of 111 departures each day in 2005, but there are only about 59 now, Hazel said.
"I think we will continue to lose traffic until something is done to change that," Hazel said to authority members.
The struggles have led to an effort by Ontario officials to regain control of the airport from its owner and operator, Los Angeles World Airports. LAWA also operates Los Angeles International and Van Nuys airports.
The Los Angeles City Council in October gave its final approval to a plan to negotiate the transfer of ONT to a new regional authority.
The Ontario International Airport Authority was set up to manage ONT if it went to local control. Monday was the group's second meeting.
Hazel said ONT has suffered more in the down economy than similar airports. The airport lost 37 percent of its passenger traffic from 2007 to 2011. The average airport of its size lost 12.7 percent.
Hazel said most Southern California airports have started to see their passenger traffic figures increase.
ONT and Burbank's Bob Hope Airport are the only exceptions and are both projected to lose passengers this year, Hazel said.
"If this rate continues, Burbank will equal or exceed Ontario's passenger traffic level," said Hazel, who referenced data from the U.S. Department of Transportation as well as the Official Airline Guide, a United Kingdom- based company that provides global flight information.
Rather than comparing average airfares between medium-hub airports, Hazel said he looked at the average fare in selected markets for a more accurate comparison.
For example, the average airfare from ONT to Denver on Southwest was $134, but it was only $109 at LAX, $119 in Burbank and $114 at John Wayne International Airport in Santa Ana, he said.
There are some instances where ONT's airfares are higher than other airports, and there are certain markets where ONT is lower than the rest. These figures change from quarter to quarter, Hazel said.
"Ontario's fares are roughly comparable with the other competitor airports, which also makes it important that Ontario's costs be comparable," Hazel said.
Traditionally, the costs to do business for airlines at ONT has been higher than other regional airports.
A couple of authority members expressed interest in learning more about the cargo figures out of the airport. Hazel's report did not address the cargo number, but they will be analyzed at a future meeting.
"Unlike other airports, ONT has a capacity for ancillary opportunities to create cash to underwrite these operational costs. Huge part of that might be on the cargo side," said Jim Bowman, an authority member and Ontario councilman.
Glendora residents Daniel and Betsy Matthews attended Monday's meeting and said they were concerned when they started to see a decline in traffic at ONT.
"We noticed, and we wrote to (LAWA) making our own personal appeal for reversing the evident decline in service at Ontario," Daniel Matthews said.
The couple previously lived in Thousand Oaks and flew out of LAX, but changed that nine years ago when they moved to Glendora and considered ONT their airport.
For years, the couple did not go to LAX because they did not want to deal with the hassle or traffic, Daniel Matthews said. But flight availability and tickets costs at ONT meant that was no longer an option.
"This weekend, we're going to go out of Los Angeles to get a trip we formerly would have gotten out of Ontario," he said.
Through Facebook, the couple became aware of the Set ONTario Free campaign – the city's public-relations effort to drum up support for local control of ONT – and decided to attend the authority's meeting.
"We endorse local control … we wanted to let them know their influence goes beyond the borders of Ontario," Matthews said.

James Dennin, Kapitall: Stocks are selling like Kanye tickets, with many trading near all-time highs. Are there any undervalued stocks left? Stock markets leapt at Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's announcement yesterday that the country would not begin tapering off its purchase of US bonds. A s a result of the move, stocks and emerging currencies are up as bond prices fell. [Read more from Kapitall: 5 Undervalued Stocks Intriguing Institutional Investors] It's no surprise then after a rather bullish summer that a number of stocks are trading at enormously high prices. There's the perpetually news-worthy Tesla Motors (TSLA), which is up over 400% for the year and hovering around an all-time high of $174 per share. Tesla was up almost 9% this morning alone (as of 10:50 am). Meanwhile Netflix (NFLX) is trading over $300 per share right now. And don't even get us started on Priceline (PCLN), which passed the $1,000 mark yesterday, with room to grow before it hits its average target price. With prices so high, is anything worth buying? We decided to run a screen on some of the best performing stocks so far this year that were trading at or near their all-time-highs as of this morning. We screened the roughly 160 companies from barchart.com for low price-to-equity ratios (P/E), in this case under 20. Then, because P/E ratios can be deflated for many reasons – we further screened our list based on a more rigorous stock screen, the DuPont Breakdown. The DuPont Breakdown is a formula invented by the DuPont Corporation (DD) to refine and clarify the usefulness of return on equity (ROE) when it is reported by companies. ROE is an extremely important valuation for many investors, because it is one of the simplest ways to measure the profit from an investment. However, ROE can also be a little bit too simple, because firms can always borrow money to inflate their results, making it seem like they're doing a better job of getting returns to their shareholders than they really are. The DuPont formula breaks down ROE into three components, so investors have a better idea of where a company's returns are coming from: operating efficiency, asset-use efficiency, and leverage. It does this by looking at profit margins, inventory turnover, and the equity multiplier, respectively. So, by virtue of the DuPont Breakdown:

The healthcare industry is being dramatically impacted by the ongoing digital revolution.
From the trillions of bytes of information being created by electronic health records, to the patient's desire to have ready access to that information, healthcare is rapidly moving towards a digital-first environment where personalized medicine and the empowered patient is the norm.
This move, however, is placing unprecedented demands on healthcare IT departments and their ability to simultaneously deliver stable services while fueling innovation. A number of trends in healthcare present challenges to traditional IT approaches and opportunities to embrace innovation to transform service delivery.

Stealing the First Amendment from the PeopleNews at Home
The origins of the First Amendment lie in concern for the liberty of individual conscience and the right of citizens to petition and assemble for political purposes. Both aim to protect the equality of the citizenry before the law, a democratic ideal as old as the Greeks and one that suffered a major blow in the Citizens United decision.
The First Amendment shields from government regulation the belief, worship and speech acts of the people. It does so for the sake of individual liberty and the maintenance of a vibrant, equitable arena of participatory public speech and action. Both the extension of personal liberties to corporations and the now de-facto unimpeachable perch of those corporations in the democratic sphere established by the U.S. Constitution are incompatible with the spirit and letter of the First Amendment. In the final analysis, the Citizens United decision assists in making public deliberation constitutionally undemocratic.
In light of the decision, the 1786 Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom is emphatically relevant, as the intellectual and institutional predecessor of the First Amendment. Thomas Jefferson drafted the bill as part of a report for the revision of the state's laws in 1779, and James Madison, the author of the Bill of Rights, ushered the bill through the Virginia legislature.
The law recognized religious equality and accomplished the disestablishment of the Anglican Church in Virginia. Bolstered by an increasing and newly active population of Baptists in the state, Jefferson wrote in his draft that "to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical."
Leaping to the present: the Court has formalized the establishment of a new church in the structure of the federal government. The implications of the Citizens United decision for health care, to take one example, are staggering. If every citizen is required by a new law to purchase health insurance from private companies, these companies, under full protection of the law, will be able to use the profits gained from millions of new customers for political campaigns in unlimited amounts. This arrangement will ensure that any efforts on the part of consumers to suggest or hear of alternatives to the current system will be drowned out.
Tax dollars, collected from the people by force of law, are in the possession of large banks as the result of successive bailouts by the government. These banks can now use that money to seal off any efforts at banking reform, whether those efforts flow from executive or legislative energy.
Newly minted fans of the First Amendment on the right will say: Well, fine, we can solve that problem by just getting rid of health care reform and government intervention in the banking sector. But in the era of corporate welfare similar subsidization occurs in any case where tax dollars flow to large corporations in the form of grants, contracts or tax breaks.
Before the Citizens United decision, the people were already forced to compete in a rigged market of policy initiatives. Now they are compelled by law to furnish the means of political success, in the form of capital, to already well capitalized and adversarial private interests.
We need no further evidence that the Court has joined opinion makers in establishing corporate capitalism as a state religion. It is now constitutional dogma, ritualized and enforced from the top down. What gets lost? In a word, democracy.

Arnold Shcherban - 2/11/2010
First of all, by characterizing corporation as "a block of voters" the comment's author are using at least two implicit presumptions: that corporate contributions express the political and ideological inclinations of the majority of its employees, and that any block of voters has equal means of access to mass-media and other ways to get its voice heard, i.e. equal opportunities to influence public opinion.
Both presumptions, as it well-known and proven by life itself, are false, in principal and detail.
Therefore, his "get louder" campaign advise is just nothing more than a parody of democracy and justice.
On the other hand, what else any unbiased and careful observer could expect from the Supreme Court in the make-up it is now, which makes it not much more than Supreme Courting of Corporations (read CEOS)...
Peter Kovachev - 2/10/2010
Easily, Jeremy, although the interpretations are mine, not Mr Beatty's.
Leaving aside the fact, unmentioned by Mr Crow, that this is a matter of constitutional law and interprettion, and not of social engineering or political pandering, Mr Beatty's 1st point is simply that voters have more brains than Mr Crow obviously allows for.
Beatty's 2nd point is that the marketlace of ideas is also a real marketplace and that all who can and are willing to throw talent and resources behind their conviction should have the right to do so. Not being American, and knowing next to nothing about your constitution, I can only address what to me seem like points of fairness and rights. If other non-individual entities...say Big Labour and ACORN...can throw millions on their favourite horse, why not Exxon, for example? Curiously, although the former are, by virtue of their strong ideologies closer to religion, Mr Crow chooses to pick on market-driven business corporations.
In any event, detouring back to the 1st point, throwing money does not guarantee much in the long run, if the people...who are not as stupid as we are repeatedly told...don't want to play along. What did ACORN and Big Labour get for their efforts and millions?
Beatty's 3rd point is an accurate observation on how the Left has come to rely on banning and criminalization of anything that they are opposed to. "Lawfare" is their prefered form of "argument" whenever they are on the losing side. Examples abound: Conservative media is wiping the floor with their lib counterparts? Try to shut them up with content control and call it the "fairness doctrine." Labour unions are losing membership? Expose workers to pressure and threats by getting rid of the secret ballot....and call it "free choice" something or other. The public is starting to reject cap-and-trade as a scam based on made-up science? Get the EPA to call CO2 a "pollutant."
Mr Beatty was blunt and brief, perhaps because he didn't want to waste time commenting on fluff masquerading as substance, but he listed his main objections and they remain unanswered.
Jeremy Alan Perron - 2/10/2010
How do any of his so-called 'points' relate to the article.
Mark Reitz - 2/9/2010
If the right of free speach should be limited to individuals, and not corporations, what does that mean for a free press? Can Congress pass laws limiting free speach to individuals only, and deny speach to the corporate press, such as FOX News and the New York Times? I would enjoy reading the author's comments on this, and how those comments apply to this topic.
Peter Kovachev - 2/9/2010
Huh? Mr Beatty made three points clearly and briefly. Given the rickety "substance" of the article, they are refreshingly clear and more than sufficient.
Jeremy Alan Perron - 2/8/2010
Where does this comment even begin to touch on the substance of the article? Posting 'Shut Up, You' would have been just as an intelligent response.
John D. Beatty - 2/8/2010
These are blocks of voters, son, not robots. Amendment I is finally back in full force.

Palifermin (Kepivance®)
Pronounced: pal-ee-FER-min
Classification: Keratinocyte Growth Factor
About Palifermin (Kepivance®)
Palifermin is a man-made version of a protein, naturally produced by the body, called keratinocyte growth factor (KGF). KGF stimulates the growth of tissues such as: skin and the lining of the mouth, stomach, and intestines. KGF also assists in the repair of the skin and gastrointestinal lining by stimulating cells to grow and develop. Palifermin, like the body's own KGF, is also able to stimulate these cells to grow and develop.
Mucositis is inflammation of the lining of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract (throat, stomach, and intestines), frequently seen in patients undergoing bone marrow or stem cell transplant. Severe mucositis often includes sores and ulcers in the mouth and GI tract, making it difficult or impossible to eat, drink, talk or swallow. Palifermin is used to decrease the chance of developing severe mucositis or to shorten the duration of severe mucositis in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and undergoing autologous or allogeneic transplant.
Palifermin is not a cancer treatment, but a supportive care medicine. This means it is used to counteract the effects of cancer and its treatments.
How to Take Palifermin
Palifermin is given as an intravenous (IV, into a vein) injection once a day, for 3 days, before starting chemotherapy/radiation therapy, and for 3 days after completion of chemotherapy. Palifermin should not be given on the same day as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Possible Side Effects of Palifermin
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of palifermin. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Taste and Tongue Changes
Some patients reported a feeling of thickening or tingling of the tongue, discoloration of the tongue, alteration in taste, loss or change in sensation in and around the mouth, and/or a numbness and tingling around the mouth. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services if this interferes with eating.
Some patients may develop a rash, red, dry, or itchy skin. Use an alcohol free moisturizer on your skin and lips; avoid moisturizers with perfumes or scents. Your doctor or nurse can recommend a topical medication if itching is bothersome. If your skin does crack or bleed, be sure to keep the area clean to avoid infection. Be sure to notify your healthcare provider of any rash that develops, as this can be a reaction. They can give you more tips on caring for your skin.

I thought it was time this made a comeback:
.....and ust like last year, I'll start out with my faovrite Random team: the Warriors. They draft all-stars, they trade all-stars, they let them walk in free agency. Which all-star will be traded in/out of Oakland this year? Who knows?
With all the excitement over the Clippers, the Warriors are in a virtual tie with them in the division. Should be a heck of a race in the Pacific this year.
Remember kids, there is only requirement: NOTHING RELATING TO THE INDIANA PACERS. We already have a whole forum for that, and this thread is about random BSing about basketball. I figure it might be nice to get people's minds off of your own team, which can be stressful at times.

Entering Saturday's game at Penn State, Bolser ranks fourth on the team with a career-high 35 catches for 377 yards and two touchdowns. At 6-6 and 248 pounds, he's fast enough and athletic enough to create mismatches for any linebacker assigned to cover him.
Credit goes, in part, to Bolser's lacrosse background. He started playing it in first grade, the same time he started football, and combined the two, along with basketball, until he reached college.
It improved his football then, and now, even though he hasn't played competitive lacrosse in four years or so.
"It helps with my footwork in the open field," he says. "It helps with one-on-one a lot."
Lacrosse is a sport originated with Native Americans, who sometimes played games that lasted as long as two days and involved as many as 1,000 warriors.
Now it's one of America's fastest growing sports, requiring fitness, speed, agility and, yes, a certain physical presence.
Bolser played attacking middie, which, as lacrosse experts know, is an offensive and defensive position where you get to run up and down the field, looking to score and stop the other team from scoring.
"You run and have to see things," he says. "It keeps your eyes on difference places."
Seeing the field is crucial in football as well as lacrosse. It's that attribute, and his overall versatility, that has helped Bolser have his most productive college season.
"He has great ball skills and hand-eye coordination," offensive coordinator Seth Littrell says. "He's basically 250 pounds and is still athletic and can still run around."
Bolser was a receiver disguised as a tight end in high school. In his last two seasons at Cincinnati's Indian Hill High School he caught 131 passes for 1,883 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Then, as a Hoosier freshman, he caught 27 passes for 407 yards and five touchdowns. The touchdowns were the most ever caught in a season by an IU tight end. He received All-America acclaim.
But then coach Bill Lynch was fired, Kevin Wilson replaced him and Bolser's run-blocking duties increased, especially when true freshman Tre Roberson became the starting quarterback and the Hoosiers went to more of a run-option attack.
The adjustment was tough on all parties involved.
This year Bolser has become more of a leader, although he says it remains a work in progress.
"I've stepped up a little bit there, but I need to do a lot better."
Blocking remains a top priority. The running attack has sputtered in recent weeks, and that, Littrell says, is as much a reflection on the blocking as it is the running.
"He's part of the run game that hasn't been doing very well," Littrell says. "That's on me. Up front we need to do a better job along with the running backs."
Bolser's blocking assignments center on defensive ends, and the mismatch is not so much in his favor, although coaches cut him little slack.
"He has to do everything pretty well," Littrell says. "We expect him to be great in the run game."
That do-it-all approach comes with the position. It's why it's so difficult to find a high school tight end well versed in blocking and receiving.
"You try to find an all-around tight end," Littrell says, "but in high school those guys don't block as much, so there's a lot more technique and teaching we have to do.
"The biggest thing I look for is a guy who will compete and who has toughness, who has the desire to come in here and win. We'll fix the other things."
What does that mean for Bolser?
"He's still grinding," Littrell says. "He understands the things he needs to work on with the run game, especially technique. He'll always line up against D-ends who are bigger than him, sometimes he'll line up against D-ends who are stronger than him. But none of that matters. It's about technique, will, heart and desire. I feel like he has. We have to work those things. That's every guy up front."
Bolser grinds with improved fitness — his percentage of body fat dropped from 20 to 13 this past season — that comes from a combination of strength coach Mark Hill's strength program and director of performance nutrition Amy Freel's diet guidelines.
Still, in the end, it's about performance, his own and that of the Hoosiers. They did not have a great Monday practice, Bolser says, and that has to change ASAP.
"We need to step up. We didn't play as well as we should have (against Wisconsin) and we didn't step up in practice. We have to have a better week."

CHRISTMAS volunteers in Worcestershire are thanked as almost 10million needy children received festive gift-filled shoeboxes across the world last year.
More than 900,000 of the boxes were donated by individuals, groups, churches, schools and workplaces across the UK for Operation Christmas Child, and Bob James, area co-ordinator of Samaritan's Purse in Worcestershire, said people in the county helped make the achievement possible.
He said: "We're so thankful for the amazing generosity of people in Worcestershire. We can only imagine the joy a child feels when they receive a shoebox, packed with gifts, from someone they don't know, but someone who cared enough for them and showed them that they are not forgotten at Christmas."
The charity's executive director, Simon Barrington, said the demand for Christmas gifts was increasing.
He said: "Over the past 23 years, Operation Christmas Child has sent more than 113 million boxes to children in over 130 countries.
"The demand is huge and is increasing, year to year.
"I want to encourage more people in Worcestershire to get involved with this amazing programme, so that we can reach even more children with shoeboxes packed with gifts."

Sir Harry Smith college benefits from books donation by remarkable Whittlesey man who died last month
PUBLISHED: 14:58 04 February 2014 | UPDATED: 17:29 04 February 2014
The sister of a remarkable man who died last month has donated more than 500 books worth tens of thousands of pounds to a Fenland school.
Mark Sennett was deaf and unable to speak but had a passion for reading - his Whittlesey bungalow was packed with thousands of books he collected during his lifetime.
Before Mark died of cancer aged 64 on January 10, he agreed with his younger sister Rebecca Ramsden for his startling array of non-fiction books to be donated to schools and universities.
Sir Harry Smith Community College has received hundreds of specialist titles including DIY books, travel guides, tourism books, dictionaries and cookery books.
It is not just the school which is set to benefit from Mark's generosity - Cambridge University will receive a selection of his architecture books and a former Harry Smith pupil who is studying to become a doctor at Southampton University is getting some medical books.
Mrs Ramsden said: "Mark was a quite remarkable and considerate man. Although he was deaf and unable to speak, he was able to communicate his needs and requirements through writing things down.
"He was very intelligent and well read. People would underestimate him. He would think nothing of getting the train down to London to go to a specialist book shop.
"Even though his life was a constant struggle, he had no axe to grind.
"If you saw Mark's bungalow, it's not just a couple of rows of books. There must be thousands piled from the floor to the roof.
"He would think nothing of spending £130 on a book. We decided the books needed to go somewhere where they would be truly appreciated.
"When I suggested giving them to schools and universities, Mark agreed."
As a child, Mark attended Margate school for the deaf. He was employed by Peterborough Council for nearly 30 years.
He worked for Westcombes Industries, a sheltered workshop for people with disabilities.
Harry Smith careers coordinator Angela Curtis thanked Mark and Rebecca for their generous donation.
She said: "His sister rang the school to see if we wanted some books and we went around expecting to find a few paperbacks but what we discovered were thousands of absolutely fantastic hardback nonfiction books.
"The books he has donated to the library will really benefit the students.
"They are great quality, the kind of books we would not be able to afford."

TRIBUTES have been paid to 70-year-old Gerald Woodvine, who was devoted to Swindon Town, attending more than 2,500 matches in his lifetime.
Mr Woodvine, of Curzon Street, Calne, was born on December 6, 1943, in Tugela Road, Chippenham, bought his first season ticket for Swindon Town in 1959, which cost £7 at the time, and also treated his step-grandson Daniel to a ticket for nine seasons.
Mr Woodvine, a factory worker, was a mascot for the town for his 50th birthday on October 25, 1997, when Swindon Town played Norwich City.
Last year, for his 70th birthday, his wife Rose arranged a surprise day out at the Swindon v Carlisle game on November 30. His three youngest grandchildren Zoley, Lucy and Luke were mascots, and Mr and Mrs Woodvine were taken to the County Ground in a vintage Rolls-Royce.
His last game of the 2013/14 season was Rotherham v Swindon on May 10 and he died at the Great Western Hospital on June 11. Daughter-in-law Andrea Woodvine said Mr Woodvine, who bought a keyring at every ground he went to, was looking forward to visiting Fleetwood next season as this was a new ground for him. She said: "Each home fixture, Gerald could always be found outside the club shop sat on one of the concrete posts with lots of friends around him. "On the occasions that we went with him, it was lovely to see how well liked he was and how many people spoke to him.
"We as a family have been touched by the amount of cards my mother-in-law has received.
"All who met him have told us that he was always ready to stop and have a chat, as long as it was about Swindon Town FC. "He was a very dedicated supporter who followed Swindon through both the battles and the glory years."
Roger Bruce, chairman of Swindon Town supporters' club, said: "He was always there, he never missed a game home or away.
"In the latter years he had Parkinson's disease quite badly, but he still went. Everyone knew him."
A spokesperson from Swindon Town said: "Gerald was a loyal supporter of Swindon Town for a very long time and he will be sadly missed."
