Time-Off Benefits and Income Protection
Faculty refer to Faculty Handbook for a listing of recesses and the academic calendar.
The University non-academic staff that does not observe the academic schedule of holidays and recesses generally observes the following holidays by closing for business on:
Military Leave
The University complies with all requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). In order to preserve ones rights under that Act, a staff or faculty member who enlists in, is inducted into or is ordered to active duty in one of the uniformed services must give the University reasonable advance notice of the need for such leave, unless military necessity or other relevant circumstances make the giving of that reasonable advance notice impossible or unreasonable.
In order to be eligible for reinstatement in employment, generally the employees cumulative period of service in the uniformed services may not exceed five years. The uniformed services are the Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, including reserve components thereof), the Army National Guard and the Air Force National Guard. Service in the uniformed services means the performance of duty on a voluntary or involuntary basis in one of the uniformed services under competent authority and includes active duty, active duty for training, initial active duty for training, inactive duty training and full-time National Guard duty.
The employee also must apply for reinstatement in employment with the University on a timely basis. What constitutes a timely basis depends on the duration of the employees period of service. The following table sets forth the time frames for timely reapplication:
There are certain exceptions both to the above table for timely reapplication and to the Universitys obligation to reinstate the employee in a position of like seniority and pay as compared with reasonable certainty to the position he/she would have held had the individual not interrupted service for active duty. If any of these exceptions might be applicable to the employees circumstances, they may be discussed with the Office of Human Resources.
Benefits (life insurance and accidental death/dismemberment, disability insurance, retirement contributions, etc.) are not continued while an employee is on active duty. However, employees may opt to continue group health and dental insurance coverage for up to 24 months by assuming the cost for employee and for dependent coverage, if applicable. Retirement Plan contributions will be made up by the University if the employee makes up the employee contributions. Upon reinstatement, the employee may make up his/her unpaid Retirement Plan contributions in equal installments on a mutually agreeable basis but typically reimbursed through payroll deduction over a period which is the lesser of three times the employees period of service or five years.
Eligible vacation and sick leave are not accrued while on miliary leave of absence but, at reinstatement, time spent in military service will count toward years of service, seniority, vesting requirements and benefits eligibility. The University will return the employee to its then current group health insurance plan, if any, for employees of like classification without any waiting period or exclusions.
Funeral Leave (Faculty refer to Faculty Handbook)
Any full-time employee is granted up to three days paid bereavement leave at the time of death of an immediate family member (spouse, child, parent or sibling) or the death of a member of the spouses immediate family. One day paid leave is granted for the employee to attend the funeral of a grandparent, niece, nephew, aunt or uncle. or spouses grandparent, niece or nephew.
The University will allow an employee a reasonable amount of time off so he or she may vote. Since, however, voting hours extend both before and after the normal working hours at Muskingum University, employees are encouraged to vote on personal time.
Personal Days
Upon employment, two personal days are available to full-time non-exempt support staff which may be taken at the employees discretion provided he/she first has obtained the supervisors approval. One personal day is available to administrative staff. These days must be taken within the applicable fiscal year or are forfeited. An unused personal day is not compensable at termination.
Jury Duty
The University recognizes the responsibility of employees to serve jury duty. No employee will lose regular compensation or benefits when called on for jury duty or to testify at the order of the court or other agency of government or at the request of the University. No employee will be required to utilize paid time for jury duty but may be required to submit to the Office of Human Resources official summons for duty. An employee is not required to turn over to the University any jury duty compensation nor any jury duty reimbursement for travel expenses and meals. Sick leave for support staff continues to be accumulated during time spent on jury or witness service as long as the employee is being paid.
Unpaid Leave Of Absence
In rare instances an employee may request an unpaid leave of absence without benefits. The granting of this leave will be contingent upon the reason for the leave and the ability of the University either to temporarily function without the employee or to find an adequate temporary replacement. The granting of this leave for support staff and administration must be approved by the senior staff member responsible for that department and supervisor. Any appropriate paid leave must be exhausted prior to the granting of an unpaid leave of absence. Faculty refer to Faculty Handbook
Vacation Leave
A vacation leave for full-time non-exempt (support) staff is based on the fiscal year July 1 through June 30. The vacation schedule for full-time non-exempt staff working 12 months per year is as follows:
Each July 1 a support staff member who is eligible by years of service to rise to the next higher level of vacation leave benefit will do so regardless of when employment began.
The following schedule indicates vacation leave available during the first year of employment for full-time non-exempt support staff to be taken between start date and June 30 after completion of a successful 60 day probation period.
Effective January 1, 2001, an eligible full-time 12 month exempt (administrative) staff member who does not follow the academic schedule of holidays and recesses is annually given one month of vacation on July 1, which is defined as 20 working days to be taken during that current fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) or forfeit.
Newly hired eligible members of the administration will be given a prorated amount of vacation leave to be taken between start date and July 1 as indicated:
Consideration will be given to all requests for vacation time and the employee's preference will be respected whenever practical. The senior staff member over the position, however, does have the right to deny requests which may jeopardize the department operations at that time. Vacation leave is usually granted when the office or department can best afford the time off.
Except for unforeseen emergencies, vacation time must be scheduled as far in advance as possible. It is expected that all requests for vacation leave will be made at least 24 hours ahead of requested time. Such requests must be approved by the supervisor.
Competitive requests for the same time off generally will be decided in favor of the employee with the longer period of continuous service to the University. In the event coveted vacation time begins to be monopolized by a particular employee, the senior staff member over the positions may establish a system under which selection is rotated among members of the employee group involved.
Paid holidays falling within vacation time are not charged against vacation.
Unused vacation leave may not be taken as "terminal leave" prior to separation.
A full-time employee changing to a part-time position is entitled to all the eligible vacation days which have not yet been taken.
Part-time employees receive no paid vacation.
Support-staff members having less than 6 months of employment receive no payment for vacation upon termination of employment. All unused vacation time will be paid to other eligible employees with the final paycheck in the event of separation of employment or to his/her estate in the event of death.
Sick Leave Policy: Support Staff
The purpose of sick leave pay is to provide uninterrupted compensation to employees who are temporarily unable to work for the following reasons:
Sick leave for support staff is given at the rate of four hours per pay period for full-time personnel. An employee may accumulate up to 30 work days sick leave.
Any support staff employee who completes a fiscal year without using sick leave or having any unexcused absences is granted an additional personal day off with pay which must be taken during the next fiscal year.
The employee's immediate supervisor is to be notified as far in advance as possible for any planned use of sick leave (i.e. doctor's visits, elective surgery), and as soon as possible for any unplanned use of sick leave. If the supervisor is unavailable, notification is to be given to the Director of Human Resources. Failure to give appropriate notice may be considered as an unexcused absence.
While on vacation, days in which the employee is confined to a hospital or residence due to a major illness or injury may be charged to his/her accumulated sick leave rather than to vacation leave. A statement from the treating physician may be required in such cases. Sick leave accrues during any sick leave of less than 80 hours or any leave with pay but it does not accrue during unpaid leave.
Persons hired as part-time employees do not receive paid sick leave. A full-time employee changing to part-time status retains the portion of accumulated sick leave which is defined by his or her now current status (i.e., a full-time person with 30 days accumulated sick leave changing to part-time 20 hours per week will retain 30 one-half days of sick leave). No additional sick leave will accumulate for that part-time employee.
Upon termination of employment with the University, any unused sick leave is canceled and non-compensable.
The University reserves the right to require a physician's statement to support the use of sick leave. At times the University may require an examination, at its expense, by a University appointed physician.
Extended Sick Leave
Extended sick leave provides compensation only to the support staff employee who due to major illness or injury is not able to return to work after using 30 days regular sick leave.
Extended sick leave is earned at the rate of 4 hours per pay period worked only during the pay period that the employee's regular sick leave accumulation is at 30 days.
Full-time support staff employees hired after September 1, 1972 may accumulate up to 30 working days of extended sick leave. Full-time support staff members who have been in continuous full-time employment since September 1, 1972 or before may accumulate up to 100 working days of extended sick leave.
Family Medical Leave
General Provisions
Under the FMLA the University, upon request, will provide up to 12 weeks of job protected leave to eligible male or female employees during a period of 12 consecutive months measured forward from the date of the employee's first use of FMLA leave under this Policy. Employees are eligible if they have worked for Muskingum University for a total of 12 months, not necessarily consecutively, and have at least 1,250 hours during the 12 consecutive month period preceding the FMLA leave.
Employees are required to take any available University paid sick leave, personal leave, parental leave and vacation leave at the beginning of the FMLA leave period. Further time-off (up to the 12 week maximum) required within the 12 consecutive month period, after all available paid leave has been exhausted, is taken as unpaid leave. Such unpaid leave does not adversely affect an exempt salaried employee's status under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Individuals meeting the eligibility standards and working on a part-time schedule would be eligible for pro-rated FMLA leave.
Sick leave accrues while a support staff employee is on FMLA leave per the Sick Leave Policy. Unused FMLA leave cannot be carried over from one period of 12 consecutive months to the next such period.
Events That Entitle an Employee to FMLA Leave
Advanced Notice and Medical Certification
When the employee's need for FMLA leave is foreseeable, advance notice to the University is required.
(Medical Certification)
The University requires that an employee's request for FMLA leave to care for a sick child, spouse or parent or due to the employee's own serious health condition be supported by medical certification issued by the treating health care provider within 15 days after the employees' FMLA leave request, unless procuring such is not practical despite good faith and diligent efforts. The certification should include details of the illness, injury or treatment and an estimate of duration. Certification forms are available in the Office of the Director of Human Resources.
Upon receipt of the Certification Form, the University may require a second verification from the qualified health care provider of its choice, at University expense. In the event the two certifications present conflicting information regarding leave necessity, the University may require a third opinion at University expense, using a health care provider jointly designated or approved by the University and the employee. Such third health care provider's opinion will be considered final.
The University requires an employee to report his/her status via medical certification every 30 days during the FMLA leave and to document his or her intention (if any) to return to work. The University also requires any usually requested "fitness for duty" certification or release to return to work from the attending health care provider prior to the employee's return.
Intermittent Leave and Reduced Load
The maximum 12 weeks of FMLA leave during the 12 consecutive month period can be taken continuously or, under certain circumstances, intermittently (e.g. several days a week) or as a reduced load (e.g. half work days).
FMLA Leave When Both Husband and Wife Work for Muskingum University
If both are eligible, they are entitled to a combined total of 12 weeks of leave for the birth, adoption or foster placement of a child or for caring for one of their own parents (but not parent-in-law) with a serious health condition. Both, however, are entitled to up to the full 12 weeks for their own serious health condition or for caring for a child or spouse with a serious health condition.
Job Restoration at the End of FMLA Leave
"Job protection" means that, upon timely return from FMLA leave, the employee is entitled to be restored to the same position which he or she held when the leave began or to an equivalent position with equivalent pay, benefits, status and other terms and conditions of employment. The equivalent position should require substantially equivalent skill, effort, responsibility, authority and present equivalent opportunities as well as being on the same shift or on an equivalent work schedule.
Health Insurance Benefits Available During FMLA Leave
While on FMLA leave, the University will continue health care insurance (medical insurance and participation in the flexible spending account) on the same basis as if an individual is actively at work. That is, the University will continue its contribution and the employee will continue his/her contribution. For paid leave, deductions will be taken from paychecks as usual.
For unpaid leave, employees may arrange to pre-pay or to pre-deduct from payroll prior to the leave or may arrange to send their contribution by the 15th of each month for the next month's coverage. The University, however, has no obligation to continue group health insurance for an employee who does not intend to return to work after the FMLA leave.
If an employee fails to return from FMLA leave for reason other than the onset or continuation of a serious health condition or other causes beyond the employee's control, the University may recover from the employee its share of the applicable group health insurance premiums paid during the employee's FMLA leave. This may be done through any available process, up to and including legal action.
Other Benefits Continued During FMLA
The University will continue to pay for disability insurance and life insurance for individuals on FMLA leave who intend to return to work at the conclusion of such leave. Employee and University contributions to the retirement plan will continue during paid FMLA leave but cease during unpaid leave. No employee fringe benefit ceases by virtue of the fact that a formerly full-time employee goes to a part-time schedule while on FMLA intermittent leave or reduced work schedule if the employee was participating in such benefit prior to the leave.
Circumstances Under Which Muskingum University May Deny Job Restoration
Arrangements When 12 Week Period is Close to End of a Semester
Depending on the timing and reason for leave, an individual involved in the academic process may wish to extend leave and thus not return until the beginning of the next term in order to provide continuity in the classroom as a benefit to students. Leave expected to continue past the last five weeks of a semester may be extended with approval until the end of the semester.
The Intended Scope of the University's FMLA Policy
The Director of Human Resources should be consulted should additional information be needed or to obtain a copy of the Policy in its entirety.

By Ari LeVaux
Raul Aboytes' journey from Walmart employee to successful restaurateur started when he bought a food trailer from his neighbor. The $4,000 investment, which took three years to pay off, needed a lot of work.
"I put so much money into that trailer," Aboytes recalls. "And I tried really hard to get this business going. I parked the trailer in different places, and I kept getting discouraged. But when I moved the trailer to Airport Road [three years ago], right away we started selling food like crazy. So I quit Walmart and started selling food full time."
The result is Jalapeño's, a scrappy chain of central Mexican eateries that includes a newly opened sit-down restaurant in Plaza Entrada on St. Francis Drive, as well as two take-out trailers, on Airport Road and at the corner of Siler and Cerrillos roads.
Jalapeño's was built on a foundation of tortas, a grilled Mexican sandwich that, big enough for two, practically demands a siesta in its wake. The tortas at Jalapeño's are filled with various combinations of meats, plus cheese, avocado, tomatoes, onions, jalapeño slices, chipotle salsa, mayo and mustard. The bread is baked daily at Santa Fe's Pan de Vida bakery.
"Italians have paninis, Americans have subs, Mexicans have tortas," Aboytes explains.
Before the economy tanked, the Airport Road trailer was selling 1,300 tortas on a good week. During the darkest days of the recession, the weekly tally dropped below 700. Now it's approximately 1,000 tortas per week.
The Plaza Entrada restaurant, which opened March 7, was a logical extension to the take-out trailers. Aboytes was already renting a commercial kitchen in which to prepare the food served in his trailers, so he decided to spend a bit more and rent a commercial kitchen with a restaurant attached. Now, the food served in both trailers is prepared at the Plaza Entrada location.
The restaurant is brightly painted and decorated with an eclectic assortment of Mexican art, some made by Aboytes' wife. Paintings of dancing skeletons, portraits of Frida Kahlo, ornate crosses and painted skulls hang from the walls. The dining room is furnished with classy high-backed wooden chairs—made by his cousin in Taos—with jalapeño peppers carved into the backs.
The fare at Jalapeño's is inspired by Aboytes' mother's late-night taqueria in Querétaro, Mexico. A long list of specially prepared meats are at the heart of the Jalapeño's menu.
Buche (pork belly with house-made chorizo) is popular on Airport Road, as are the braised and crispy pork carnitas—of which Aboytes makes 500 pounds a week. Chicken in red chile, fajitas and a new vegetarian blend are popular at the Plaza Entrada location. After sampling almost all of the meats, I give highest props to the suadero (beef brisket), barbacoa (marinated lamb) and the carnitas. I sampled the meats in tacos; they're also served in fajitas, burritos, quesadillas and, of course, tortas.
I was very happy with the ceviche salad. Generous portion of lime-marinated tilapia came on top of a large bed of lettuce and salad greens. Next time, however, I'll order it without cheese. Another highlight was the beef soup, with soft chunks of meat, abundant vegetables and the unmistakable flavor of comfort food.
The service is upbeat, casual and attentive. Aboytes circulates the dining room to make sure everyone is satisfied. The salsa bar is stocked with several garnishes and salsas, including avocado salsa. The aguas frescas come with free refills. A beer and wine license is "a month or two" away, Aboytes says, and also coming soon: daily specials.
"I want real dishes, stuff from home that I know how to make, like chicken in mole, ribs with salsa verde. Dishes that you don't see around here often," he says. "Not upscale, but original—I don't like upscale. I like to keep it real."

It's an appliance party!
The changes in the kitchen have been less visible recently. Since the last update, the tiles were grouted and all of our appliances have come in! I worked from home the other day so I could be there for the deliveries. We cleared a space in the living room for the appliances since the kitchen isn't ready for them yet.
We decided to get a small fridge since the space is so small. This LG model is one of the only ones sold that is 24″ by 24″. We went with all stainless steel and opted to not get a microwave. We just decided that the storage space was more important.
The contractors have patched up all the random plaster work including smoothing our the hideous popcorn ceiling that we were sporting.
Just disregard the nasty liquid nails residue on the subway tiling. It's all going to be covered up again when the cabinets get installed. During one of our design ideas, we talked about exposing all the beautiful subway tiling. Thank goodness we didn't go down that route. I don't even think the liquid nails can come off those tiles…
And here's a picture of the tile floor with the grout. I know some people were asking about what it looked like up close…
4 Responses to "It's an appliance party!"
Um yeah. Me = Insanely jealous of your beautiful appliances.
It looks awesome!!
Yeaaa, your stainless STEEL appliances look awesome!!! I love the tile. I'm jealous, too. I wish I could go appliance shopping and redo my kitchen. le sigh…
I'm feeling some major appliance envy right now . . . 🙂

James Fredric Rogers, Esq.
December 24, 1928 – July 13, 2010
James Fredric Rogers, Esq., 81, of Los Angeles, passed away on Tuesday July 13, 2010, after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
He was born in Hope, AR, to Cornelia (Lillie) Williams and Frederick Douglass Rogers. He graduated from Frederick Douglass High School in Webster Groves, a suburb of St. Louis, MO, where he was valedictorian. He left St. Louis at age 18 to attend the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a B.S. in accounting in 1952. He obtained his law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 1957. Prior to law school, he served for two years as an Army Corporal stationed at Fort Ord in Monterey. He married June Maxine Mathis in 1953, and they moved to Los Angeles in 1958.
Jim was a very successful young lawyer before civil rights legislation paved the way for others. He worked as a state inheritance tax appraiser before entering private practice, specializing in probate law and estate planning. He was a compassionate expert who advised people at the height of their grief. He was an active member of the California Association of Black Lawyers, the National Bar Association, and the John M. Langston Bar Association.
In 1968, Jim made South Pasadena his home. Always believing in public service, he volunteered in the community and served on the commission to halt expansion of the 710 freeway. He was a devoted member of the Church of Christian Fellowship in Los Angeles, where he provided legal advice to the congregation. He was honored as Man of the Year at his church. Throughout his life, Jim continued to guide and mentor young people.
Jim enjoyed playing tennis and chess, and he was a lover of classical music. As a child, he sang with The Legend Singers on the radio station KMOX in St. Louis. He also loved traveling and exploring Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa. He and his grandson, Aidan, had fun riding trains together and sharing African American history.
Jim is survived by his wife, Dr. Wanda McTyeire; his children Paul, Mark and Carol; stepdaughter Janel and grandson Aidan.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, July 30, 2010 at 10:00 am at the Congregational Church of Christian Fellowship, 2085 S. Hobart Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90018.
Donations may be made to the Norton Simon Museum of Art in Pasadena or the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.

SANTA CRUZ — The suspect in the fatal shooting of Pauly Silva is in Santa Cruz County Jail on unrelated charges, police said this week.
Detectives are still piecing together the Feb. 9 homicide case, but recent forensic evidence has "confirmed in our mind who the shooter is," said Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark.
Clark declined to name the suspect because he has not been charged with homicide.
"We're still moving forward on the case," Clark said. Silva, a 32-year-old martial arts instructor and plumber, was shot to death about 12:30 a.m. outside a downtown bar. Several people witnessed the shooting.
About 20 minutes after the shooting, Watsonville police arrested two men near South Green Valley Road who were in a Mercedes that fit a description of a car at the shooting scene.
Neither of those men are still in County Jail, and have not been charged in Silva's death. A third man who police described as a possible suspect was arrested in Santa Cruz later that morning on an outstanding warrant.
Police have not said if he is the suspected gunman.
Authorities said they found several bullet casings on the street, but it is not clear if other forensic evidence helped unlock the case.
Maeva Silva, Pauly's 28-year-old widow, said Friday that police have tried to keep her updated on the investigation.
"I would like it to go a little bit faster, but I believe they are taking their time because they want to build a strong case," she said. "I'm getting some details but I'm not understanding why it happened. I'm still trying to understand."
Many friends of Silva continued to offer their support to his family and two children.
To help pay for his funeral expenses, a fund has been set up online at
Pauly Silva was a plumber in San Jose and a martial arts instructor.
Santa Cruz police ask anyone with information to call investigations at 831-420-5820, the anonymous tipline at 831-420-5995 or leave a tip at www.santacruzpolice.com or by the mobile application at http://m.santacruzpolice.com.

"When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there." -- Jim Henson
If Jim Henson's only intention was to make the world a little better, he well exceeded his goal.
Without Henson's creativity and ingenuity, scores of children and adults would have never met his endearing character conceptions or enjoyed educational programs like "The Muppet Show," "Fraggle Rock" and "Sam and Friends."
His work has transcended generations, cultures and languages, reaching more than 100 countries. Clearly, Henson left an indelible mark on the world.
Exhibition: creative genius unveiled
"Jim Henson's Fantastic World," a new exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and The Jim Henson Legacy, offers a rare peek into the imagination and creative genius of this multitalented innovator and creator of Kermit the Frog, Big Bird and other beloved characters.
The exhibition will be the first to be featured in the new Syd and Sharon Martin Wing at the James A. Michener Art Museum (138 S. Pine St., Doylestown, Pa.) on Sept. 12. It will remain on view until Nov. 29, 2009.
"We are extremely honored to be hosting Jim Henson's Fantastic World," said Bruce Katsiff, director and CEO of the James A. Michener Art Museum. "Through his lovable characters, films and programs, Henson made an everlasting impact on the imagination of an entire generation, and this show pays homage to that brilliant legacy."
The exhibition features 100 original artworks, including drawings, cartoons and storyboards that illustrate Henson's talent as a storyteller and visionary. Among the variety of exhibition objects are puppets, television and movie props, photographs of Henson and his collaborators at work, and original video productions, including excerpts from Henson's early career and experimental films.
Innovative characters
"It's such a treat to get to know Jim Henson through his doodles and drawings, his puppets and his fantastic performances," said Karen Falk, curator of the exhibition and archivist at The Jim Henson Company. "I'm delighted to be able to share this inspiring and entertaining experience with people all over the country. Seeing his original work firsthand opens a window into his visual thinking and provides both an appreciation of Jim as an artist and a reason to laugh out loud."
From the beginning, Henson expressed his ideas with incredible bursts of invention, through a variety of visual forms, clever dialogue, songs, comic bits and animation. All of his work reveals a highly sophisticated and nuanced thought process, evident in the decades-long metamorphosis of a small group of captivating characters from simple doodles to cartoons to puppets to films.
For the Henson exhibition, the museum will be using a timed entry system for non-members. Advance ticket purchase is highly recommended. Tickets will be available online starting Aug. 1.
Ample free parking is available in the nearby lot that serves the museum and a local public library.
For current museum hours and admission information, visit www.MichenerArtMuseum.org or call (215) 340-9800.

How CSL helps employees embrace new identity
The telecom industry has always been very sales-driven and revenue is seen as the most important aspect of the business. However, for us, customer service plays an equally important part to the success of a company. We believe that delivering outstanding customer experience will differentiate CSL from other telecom companies.
Notwithstanding our nearly 30 years of history, we are rebranding to position ourselves as a customer-centric mobile services operator. The new brand identity reflects our new vision and will be used to distinguish CSL as the corporate company brand with a unique proposition, from its existing service brands, such as 1010, one2free and New World Mobility. The new identity is also targeted to attract digital natives and young graduates to join the company mission, working in a team focused on displaying its core values.
Communicating our new vision to staff
In order to pass on the ideology behind the rebranding to our employees, we organised a half-day 'Vision mission value' workshop which all staff, from the chief executive officer to the tea lady, had to attend. During the workshop, we explained to our staff how we perceive our business, including our long-term vision - to connect people is the reason we exist as a company and it is also our mission for the next three years.
The company has identified innovation, respect and trustworthiness as its three corporate values. We encourage staff to make small continuous improvements, come up with great ideas and develop them into innovations. They have to understand that respecting customers, colleagues, the community, as well as the environment are what we cherish most. The way we build relationships - making sure customers' questions get answered - is key to being trustworthy.
HR's role in the rebranding process
Our new logo captures the essence of what CSL means to our customers, staff and business partners. We acknowledge our customers' different requirements and we have to innovate to meet their needs. So we have to start by thinking about who our future clients are - namely, the digital drivers who use mobile phones, Facebook and Twitter to communicate. As such, we need a rebranding, to appeal to them by being more youthful.
Our job is to make sure our staff understand why a rebranding was necessary. So during the launch, we communicated to them the kinds of changes they need to make. They are reminded of our new identity by the new design on the mugs and name cards we use, as well as on our walls.
We believe strongly that 'stories will stick', so we gathered stories from our staff and spread them around. We tell stories about people demonstrating our corporate values on a daily basis at work. While we tell successful stories about our staff, we also recognise and motivate them to embrace the three values of the company.
Giving recognition
In terms of employee rewards and fulfilment, a lot of people regard money as the sole reward at work, but there is more to it. We also stress the need for recognition. We recognise all outperforming projects by giving out quarterly and annual awards to the best teams.
We are also planning to prepare 'Thank You' cards for staff, so they can give them to their colleagues, including their bosses, to show their appreciation at any time. We believe in celebrating success as a group.
We recently had a sales team that exceeded its sales target, and we rewarded the team members with a trip to Phuket. There is no need to wait until the end of the year or a particular special occasion to recognise teamwork. That said, we are currently commissioning Towers Watson to conduct a comprehensive review on market positioning and create salary and compensation benchmarking for the company.
Retail immersion
We believe in servant leadership and leading by example. All of the executive leadership team, including the CEO, directors, executive VPs and managers, are obliged to work a half day at our retail stores, several times a year, every year. We call it retail immersion. The aim of it is for participants to understand the stress factors faced by frontline staff. Our senior staff are also asked to listen to recordings from our call centres. In so doing, they evaluate staff performance and the effectiveness of the system, and experience the difficulties facing those on the customer frontline.
We have received positive feedback from our staff. According to our latest bi-annual employee survey, we scored very high on staff engagement - seven points out of a total of 10. On staff satisfaction, we scored 7.1 points. Following our rebranding, we added a new category on 'change readiness'.
We asked our staff five questions about the rebranding, including the extent to which they understand it, the reasons for it, and the confidence they have in our achieving success with it.
We are delighted to have received a very positive average score of 7.69, which shows that staff have a good understanding of what is expected from them. It is worth noting that the highest score of all - 8.1 points for confidence in the rebranding process - indicates that most of us are on the same page.

There is no evidence that Elvis ever recorded a song called "Love is for Lovers". It is likely the titled demo for the film which was rejected by Elvis.

HoneyTalkNelson wrote:I've been out of the "Elvis world" for the past decade or so and I'm just getting back into things. As you might guess, I'm a bit out of the loop so far as recent developments and discoveries. I've just joined this site and it looks to be a GREAT resource for real information on Elvis and his career.
I've been a fan since the summer of 1968. I was first introduced to Elvis when my brother gave me a well used copy of Golden Records Volume 1. I was hooked at 7 years old! I would beg my parents to take me to see his movies when they opened in the theaters. (Alas, I was only successful once. My mom gave in and took me to see STAY AWAY JOE when it opened locally. Not exactly the best one to see in the movies, but it was a BIG treat. I can still remember the opening panoramic shots on that huge CinemaScope screen!) When I saw the Singer special in December, I was a fan for life. I got every new album and single and played them to death.
At that time, the main visual exposure to Elvis was through showings of his movies on TV. In New York, the 4:30 movie would often run an Elvis week and that was the only way to see his work. For that reason, the films have always held a soft spot for me. I realize they're not terribly good, but it's all that we had.
To illustrate the kind of impact they had made, when I saw Elvis at the Garden in 1972 (5th row, center stage) my main impression was the thrill of seeing a movie star on that stage. Imagine that!
I've always had a keen interest in the songs that were planned but not used in the final films. I began to research deleted scenes and made some interesting discoveries over the years. For instance, the 2 songs removed from GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS (Where Do You Come From and I Don't Want To) were physically spliced out of the various prints by the local Paramount exchanges. Over the past 30 years, I've handled over a dozen 35mm Technicolor prints and every single one had those physical splices in the second reel. Therefore, those cuts were made at the eleventh hour after Technicolor had made the 100 or so release prints for theatrical distribution.
When I worked on THIS IS ELVIS in 1981, we were contacted by a private collector who claimed to have a 35mm print with the 2 songs intact. Unfortunately, the producers were not really interested so that contact wasn't pursued, much to my disappointment.
A similar situation occurred with FLAMING STAR. The print that was previewed for the industry trades included at least "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears" and one reviewer (I think Variety) noted that it was to be cut for general release. So that particular edit was made before Deluxe Labs made the prints for theatrical release and would only exist in that one 35mm preview version. It was most likely a separate 35mm picture and magnetic track and is probably long gone.
I've heard that some foreign prints of HARUM SCARUM contain the 2 songs that were cut near the beginning of the film, "Animal Instinct" and "Wisdom of the Ages."
I've always hoped that production files would be tracked down to determine precisely which songs were filmed but not used. With the recent loss of Elvis' personal shooting scripts (a terribly bad move by the Estates) it makes it that much more difficult to determine which scenes were actually committed to celluloid.
I spoke with someone at Warner Bros. who worked on the VIVA LAS VEGAS restoration a few years ago. He said that every scrap of film in the vaults was pulled and inspected, and there was nothing in the way of deleted footage. Was Night Life, Do the Vega or You're the Boss even filmed, or was the decision to scrap them made before the start of principal photography?
I'm trying to find a copy of ELVIS: FRAME BY FRAME to see if that book answers any questions. In the meantime, are there any other articles I should seek out to answer my questions on the deleted movie footage?
Many thanks for any help and advice!

I spent a great deal of time researching the films of Abbott and Costello for a book I co-authored in the early 90's. From my experience, the only way to really determine what was filmed (other than photographic evidence) is with the final draft shooting script or the daily production reports. I'm still greatly disappointed that the Estate sold all of Elvis' personal scripts which were ultimately destroyed in a fire. What an incredibly shortsighted move!
Does anybody know if the scripts were scanned or copied before they left Memphis? I sure hope so!

Adopt-a-Physicist Program
While not an APS outreach project, Adopt-a-Physicist, led by Sigma Pi Sigma, the physics honor society, is an outstanding volunteer opportunity for those wanting to encourage high school physics students.
Students Connecting with Physicists
Twice a year, Sigma Pi Sigma connects high school physics students with people with a broad range of physics degrees, from B.S. to PhD. Participating physics graduates have had a broad range of careers, backgrounds, interests, and educational levels. Participating physics classes come from high schools all across the United States and abroad.
How Does the Program Work?
At the start of the program, high school classes search through physicist profiles and choose up to five whom they thing would be a good fit for their class. By adopting a physicist, a class is registering for a discussion forum hosted by that physicist. The online discussion forums are active for three weeks. Each physicist can only be "adopted" by up to three classes, making lively, in-depth discussions possible.

MC@Work: Passport to Success
Want to upgrade your career? Relocate! That's the takeaway from Joanne Crewes, who at 25 moved to Japan for Procter & Gamble, armed with little more than a dictionary and a taste for adventure. Two decades and five passports later, she's overseeing the company's massive high-end beauty business worldwide.
There's a 13-hour difference between Cincinnati, home of Procter & Gamble's headquarters, and Singapore, where the company's president of global prestige, Joanne Crewes, is based. That means on any given day, when she's not on the road (as is typically the case), Crewes is likely on a conference call, often at some ungodly hour, touching base with far-flung colleagues about her piece of the business: the ultra-lucrative global market for P&G's fragrance and luxury beauty brands, including SK-II, which, under her leadership, has become the best-selling skincare line in Asia. Crewes recently connected with Marie Claire on a predawn call (natch) to share her tips for getting ahead, even in the most remote corners of the globe.
MC: Your first job at P&G was as a brand assistant for Pert shampoo in your native Australia. Did you know from the outset you wanted a career in marketing?
I was 20, just out of university, and I went in with the intention that I'd work for a year or so and save up enough money to go backpacking in Asia. I applied to several companies and got an entry-level position at P&G, where I thought that I'd be doing a lot of photocopying. But from the get-go, I was deeply involved in managing the Pert brand and its rollout. I remember thinking to myself, Do these people have any idea that I've just graduated?! Two months in, they sent me to Taiwan for a training seminar, and I got to see a lot of Taipei culture and stay in a nice hotel, and I thought, Do I really want to be a backpacker? I can actually see the world with P&G. And that's exactly what happened. I'm now on my fifth passport.
You moved to Japan to work on the Max Factor brand when you were just 25. Were you scared?
If I didn't have an appetite for travel, I probably would never have had the courage to make such a big move. When I arrived in Japan, I knew exactly three words. But I threw myself into the language and the culture. I was constantly learning, constantly traveling. My Japanese language teacher became my tennis buddy. That kind of immersion helps you be a better manager.
What were some of the challenges you recall from that experience?
Japan is a much bigger market than Australia, and one key lesson I learned — and I remind myself of it all the time — is to never assume. When you're working on several different projects at once, with a lot of different players, never assume that the people you are talking to are up to speed on what their objectives are, especially in a time of crisis. What you don't want are people saying, "I wasn't copied on that," and then taking it personally. So if you're e-mailing or talking to a group of people, recap quickly. It helps avoid miscommunication and makes everyone feel included.
These days, the prevailing wisdom is that the best way to get ahead is to move around. But you've stayed with P&G for nearly 25 years. Why?
There's a real promote-from-within culture at the company, so if you're ambitious, smart, and a hard worker, you'll do very well. And also, one of my big career criteria has been to see the world. I've gotten to do that. I've seen pretty much all of Europe and Asia, thanks to this job.
What do you look for when hiring?
That special combination of experience and diversity of opinion — what can you bring to the team that I don't already have? I'm passionate about diversity. I really believe it's the best way to achieve optimal solutions to problems. Breakthrough thinking comes from a variety of thoughts, experiences, and opinions. I also love working with young people. They've always got fresh ideas and have a passion that really inspires me.
You've been very vocal about the need for companies in Europe and Asia to tap more women for their boards. Do you support legislation along those lines?
I want to be chosen for a board position because of my skills and experiences, not because there's a quota that has to be met. Take P&G — almost half of our board are women, including Angela Braly [the former CEO of health insurer WellPoint] and [Hewlett-Packard CEO] Meg Whitman. They add value not because they are women per se, but because they bring different skills and backgrounds to the table. Diversity of experience is good for business and the bottom line.
In any given month, you spend more than half of your time on the road. All that travel sounds grueling.
You get used to it. And if you love to travel, it's a definite perk. When I'm on the road, it's eat, sleep, exercise, work. I'm a slave to the treadmill. I do about 7 kilometers [4 miles] every day. It keeps me focused. And in my experience, it's not the travel that's brutal, it's getting back on track once you return home.
So how do you do that?
P&G has a great flexible work program, so whether you're going on maternity leave or want to take an extended leave to travel, management will help figure out a sensible approach. For me, it's working from home one day a week. I have a videoconferencing setup there so that I can take meetings, or I can choose to use the day for strategic thinking away from the grind. It makes me feel incredibly productive to have that day to do what I need to keep my life in check — errands, appointments, what have you. The notion of clocking in or punching a time card is prehistoric.
How do you tend to your personal life when you're traveling so much?
I'm good about using the 24-hour clock to my advantage. I map out my travel calendar with my team 12 months out, so I always know in advance where I'll be, and my friends and family work around that. It does get tough at the end of a long day when you're alone with just TV and room service. But my way of decompressing after a trip is reconnecting with friends over dinner. Like most things in life, if it's important, you make time for it.

A BLACKBURN man who stood naked in the street and acted indecently has walked free after being locked up on remand for seven months.
Rizwan Shah's behaviour had alarmed some passers-by, Burnley Crown Court was told, The hearing was told Shah, 27, later had a probation officer 'extremely worried' he might be a danger to the public, when he told him some 'very alarming' things.
Shah, formerly of Neath Close but recently of no fixed address, had spent seven months on remand, serving the equivalent of a 14 month sentence.
He won his freedom after a judge said it was far longer than any judge would impose for the offence.
The defendant had admitted outraging public decency, last June. He was given one month in prison, which he has served and was released.
The court was told Shah had been behind bars for so long as it was thought at one point a hospital order might be made.
David Pojur, for Shah, said he was on medication. He added: "The defendant is really somebody who needs assistance."
Sentencing, the judge told Shah his conduct had been, "a disgusting thing to do in public, where there may be young children and others around."
Judge Woolman said: "You certainly alarmed some people by what you have been saying, to the point where a probation officer at one point thought you were dangerous."

Changes in the cards for Pa. benefit recipients
Changes to debit cards for Pennsylvania's unemployment and workers' compensation benefits are expected to help recipients save money.
The cards go to more than 40 percent of those receiving unemployment and workers' compensation.
State Treasurer Rob McCord says under a new contract signed with JPMorgan Chase & Co., they'll come with fewer fees of the kind he says "nickel and dime" users.
"We dramatically expanded the ATM network, so there are 3,200 machines that people can use for free. They can get unlimited, free in-network ATM withdrawals, so there's no incentive to withdraw, for example, your entire payment," he said. "So you don't pay $1.50 or more to withdraw more."
Some fees for the new cards will go up, but for services that aren't in such high demand, such as the cost of a replacement card, McCord said.
About 150,000 people have cards in the old debit card program, run by Xerox.
Recipients will be mailed a new card that will be active by mid-March, and any remaining fund balances on the old cards will be accessible until September.

Woman escapes jail over date night gone wrong
Shamiran Benjamin's boyfriend ended their date at the Star casino in 2012 by firing a gun into his neighbour's house during a drunken argument.
Hours later, Ms Benjamin found herself on the side of the M5, under arrest with her then boyfriend, Ali Khaled, for concealing a serious indictable offence.
The Sydney District Court heard on Thursday that the couple had been arguing outside his Wiley Park home about 3am on January 29, 2012.
Ms Benjamin, who had been sitting in her Nissan Pulsar parked on Denman Avenue, had been upset about Khaled's drunken behaviour at the casino.
"Don't disrespect me, bitch", he told her, before banging his fist on her car.
When she replied, "no, please stop", a neighbour, fearing for Ms Benjamin's welfare, called out but Khaled abused the man, before going into his unit and returning with a 9mm glock pistol. He then fired a shot at his neighbour's building.
Ms Benjamin drove off but soon returned and picked up Khaled. She told the court he had threatened to go to her parents' house if she had not come and got him.
Police then pulled over the Pulsar on the M5 and questioned Ms Benjamin. She did not mention Khaled's involvement in the shooting.
The pistol was discovered wrapped in a jumper in the car and the pair were arrested.
Khaled pleaded guilty over the shooting last year and was sentenced to four years in jail, with a non-parole period of two years and six months.
But in sentencing Ms Benjamin, Judge Ray McLoughlin accepted she had been in shock and frightened of Khaled, who had been sitting next to her in the car when police had questioned her.
She escaped conviction over the incident and was put on a two-year good behaviour bond after earlier pleading guilty.
Ms Benjamin maintained in court that she had not known that Khaled had bought the gun with him into her car.
The court heard Ms Benjamin was suffering from anxiety and depression stemming from "physical and emotional abuse" she had experienced as a child at the hands of her father and in a previous abusive relationship.
Judge McLoughlin accepted her career in childcare had been put on hold because of the charge and that her parents had disowned her for four months. He said her chance of reoffending was low.
"I'm so happy," Ms Benjamin said to her supporters as she left the court.

Awesome '90s 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' Comics Pop Up On Facebook
Before Papercutz started telling new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book stories (in addition to its recent Power Rangers Samurai and Power Rangers Megaforce offerings), the franchise spent most of the past two decades bouncing between Hamilton Comics, Marvel Comics, Disney and even -- in a glorious style lampooned by the official Super Sentai parody series Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger -- at Image Comics. Depending on how much nostalgia you can muster, your enjoyment of these various 1990s releases as pure comics will... vary, to say the least. However, thanks to the official Official Power Rangers Facebook page, you can read some particularly wild short stories from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Magazine circa 1994-1996 by Paul Kirchner and others.

in WORST FG%.
Suck it rusty shooting teams, we own you. Or should that read "we own you? "
With all the talk of shooting I'd been thinking that people were making too much by focusing on the Pacers while the rest of the league also shot like crap as they shake off the rust early in the season.
So I went to prove it and saw that the numbers didn't agree. And for the record they are also 3rd worst in Adjusted FG%.
Now in the team's defense (and defense of my "rusty" point), just 12 teams are shooting better than they did last year (AdjFG%) and only 5 of them are doing it at a rate at least 1% better than last year. But there is something disturbing even in that list.
How are the Pacers shooting 7.4% worse than last year winning games while facing opponents shooting significantly better than they did last year? By not letting them do it against them. They are 6th in AFG% defense at 43.8% allowed. Pretty good when 2 of the teams you faced are otherwise shooting better than they did last year. TOR is at 52.8%, CLE at 48.6% and DET at 45.3%, all three are shooting better (a lot) in non-Pacers games.
As for that offense, here are the worst AdjFG% drops so far:
And the overall average team AFG% is down 2.0% so far; teams are shooting worse. Of course for the Pacers getting worse when you were already near the bottom of the league (22nd last year) is not a good trend.
You might think it's FTs making up the difference, but it's not. Points Per Shot has the Pacers 3rd from last, down -0.15 PPS, (PHX is worst at -0.17). The team is not scoring the ball. So all of you fans who hated the JO/RON 61 win team might need to look away.
CURVEBALL - NOH and PHX are worst and 2nd worst in drops in AFG% shown above, PPS just mentioned, FG% (well, 2nd and 3rd), and also 3P% (NOH -14.6%, PHX -14.0%, wow that sucks).
But the Pacers are actually UP 3.6% on 3P shooting. The reason this doesn't impact AFG% much is because attempts are way down. Only 13.7 3PA so far compared to...20.2 last year, top 10 on the season and that's a season that was half coached by Vogel. Yikes.
So they are picking better 3PAs and are working the ball inside more. That's helping rebounding and FTAs. Their rebounding differential is +8.6 this year, 1st in the league. Last year it was +0.2 and 15th. FTAs are at 26.3 this year, 24.8 last year.
HUGE DIFFERENCE - Okay, they are holding teams to poor shooting while playing tough defense, but last year's team was pretty good with opponent FG% too. So how do you account for the following:
Opponents PPS last year was 1.21, this year it's a staggering 1.05. That's not a FG% change, it's something else and along with rebounding it's the big key so far.
FTAs by opponents this year is at 21.7, last year was 26.3. The Pacers were 23rd in the NBA in FTAs allowed. This year they are 6th. That alone accounts for 2.5 points per game reduced.
Vogel has them defending shots as well as last year, rebounding much better than last year, and doing this without putting teams on the line as much.
So far the opponents have sucked to put it plainly. Statistical success against them will normalize as the Pacers face a variety of teams. The key might just be getting that inside the arc FG% to come up to somewhere better than "first" in the NBA.

Chan Gailey has been fired as coach of the Buffalo Bills, the team announced Monday. Gailey went 16-32 in three seasons with the team.
The team made no mention of general manager Buddy Nix or his job status.
Gailey admitted before the Bills' (6-10) season-finale Sunday against the Dolphins that the team's added talent has not led to more wins under his watch.
"We do not have the wins to show for it, so that is not good because as I said the other day the buck stops with me," Gailey told reporters. "I understand that. We are in a production business. We have not produced. I think we can get there, but we have not done it so far. I do not have a lot to jump up and down about or champion at this point. Just a belief."

Every week this off-season, I will post an NBA-related pun challenge. You can use any current or former NBA player or coach's name to create your pun. You may post as many times as you'd like, but, just like the Counting Thread, you cannot post twice in a row. At the end of the week, the poster whose entry has the most 'Likes' will be declared the victor. Whoever wins the most weeks by opening night will be crowned champion. Prize to be announced at a later date.
The Topic for Week #1: Food
A poor attempt would be someone whose name is already a food, like Stephen Curry or Channing Frye. Using those same two foods, you could come up with something more clever, like Steve Kerr-ied Chicken or Raef LaFrentz Fries. Michael Olowokandi Apple. Hakeem Olajuwonton Soup. See, it's easy.

So we sit at 5-0 right now, only undefeated team in the league. Obviously I realize it is five games and there is a long season ahead. I completely acknowledge that there will be bumps in the road. But lets have some fun and enjoy this. Cause guess what? Were really freaking good.
1. Im sorry Miss Jackson, Paul George is for real.
25.8ppg, 8.2rpg, 4apg, 1.8apg, 48 FG%, 44 3FG%
No those arent LeBron James numbers. That is our very own Paul George. Those are jaw dropping numbers. Those are MVP numbers. Those are superstar numbers. I always thought PG could become a fantastic player, always thought of him like T-Mac in his prime on offense. And while not a perfect comparison, hes showing why more than a few people drew the comparison. He just has such a complete game and makes it look so effortless. He can legit score from any point on the court. Great range on his 3 point shot, can get to the rim, his mid-range game has improved to a scary level. He just will hit jumpers that most NBA players have no business taking, including the PG of last year. Hes a playmaker on offense. Fantastic passer, gets everyone involved.
Oh and did I mention he could win Defensive Player of the Year? We are being spoiled by this young man right now. The level he is playing at, I personally have not seen from a Pacer before (I am 23 and started following the Pacers in the mid-late 90s). And quite frankly, the level he is playing at right now is probably only matched by Durant and LeBron in the NBA.
Oh and hes only 23.
2. Deep Blue & Gold
We arent even at full strength right now and its clear as day that the bench is vastly improved. Watson and Scola were fantastic additions. Watson has seamlessly filled in as the starter. Also nice to have a back up PG that can defend. Scola is still getting used to everything, as to be expected. Players are still getting used to him as well, as to be expected. But you could see it tonight, what this guy brings. Also:
When George Hill and Danny Granger are back, this is actually just a stupid scary line up. Seven players who can go off for 20 points any given night. What is that even? How am I supposed to sit here and be calm at that thought? What a fantastic roster the front office has put together. Thank you Larry Bird and Kevin Pritchard.
3. Roy Hibberts Block Party
Five games, 26 blocks. Thats just ridiculous. Hes leading the league at 5.2 bpg. Anthony Davis is second at 4.0 bpg, also ridiculous. But Davis is playing 8 minutes more a game. Hibbert is averaging over 5 blocks per game in under 30 minutes per game. Thats just bananas. Tyson Chandler, regarded as one of the best defensive big men in the NBA was playing similar minutes and was averaging less than half the amount of blocks Hibbert is right now.
Having an anchor like Hibbert is so valuable. Looking at some of the new Player Tracking stats from those fancy new cameras the NBA put in, they just show how awesome Roy really is. http://stats.nba.com/playerTrackingD...rowsPerPage=25
11 times a game players are meeting Roy at the rim and hes only letting them score 31.8% of the time. NBA players are only scoring at the rim 31.8% of the time because of Roy. This lets our perimeter defense be so aggressive. I absolutely love when an opposing player gets the ball on the wing, and PG just feeds him into the Great Wall of Hibbert. Its so satisfying to watch. Roy wants DPoY. And right now he is running away with it.
4. Lance Stephenson is That Guy
A lot of teams have a guy that teams just hate to play against. Bulls have Noah. I cant stand the guy. I dont care how good he is. I hate everything about that guy. He gets under my skin. Hes probably the player I hate the most.
Lance Stephenson is that guy for the Pacers. He chirps and barks at you on the court. He screams after he makes a play. He pisses opponents off. He pisses opposing fans off. And I ****ing love it! We finally have that guy. A lot of people classified Tyler as that guy, but he couldnt back it up like Lance does. I dont think he trash talked nearly as much either. Lance has always talked. Hell, he was throwing the choke sign at LeBron before he even played meaningful minutes. But now hes out there, straight up killing people on the court. Hes backing it up now. Hes talking smack and then burning you.
Lance is gonna **** off a lot of people this year. And I will love every minute of it.
5. This team SHOULD win the NBA Championship
We have the best starting 5 in the NBA and with the additions of Watson and Scola, we have one of the best benches in the NBA. Regardless of who starts between Granger and Stephenson, those statements will still hold true. We have a superstar in Paul George. Yes, hes there. Ive seen enough. This young man is just a beast. He has elevated his game to a level only few play at. We play as a team. Its not about one guy getting theirs. Its about winning the game. And thats how our guys play. We have the best defense in the league. Our length, athleticism, our anchor in Hibbert, its unmatched.
We are 5-0. Sure its five games. But its more than that. Its that we were one game shy of the NBA Finals last season and the team has made improvements to the roster and players have improved individually. Best starting five in the association sees big improvements to PG, Lance and Hibbert. Best starting five in the association adds Watson, Scola, oh and Danny Granger.
This team has the talent, the coach, the depth, the determination, and everything else needed to win it all. Not only do I think we can win it, I think we should. Yeah the Heat are a great team. So is San Antonio and OKC. But I am picking us to win a seven game series against any of them.

Re: Researching demographics on environmental causes
Hi Jyoti,
What town does he live in?
I found this information today for everyone suffering with CC or whose family or friends have this disease, http://www.lightparty.com/Health/HaelenReversal.html I hope this helps some people here. Partial excerpt:
Reprintedftom:WELL BEING JOURNAL VOL. 8, NO. 1 JANUARYI FEBRUARY 1999
At Hospital Santa Monica. Pelton's professional opinion of Haelan: "It is phenomenal." He says that success of the product was very gratifying and recommends it as a nutritional supplement. PERSONAL SUCCESS STORIES In September, 1995, Sherman Sanders was hospitalized tfter experiencing unexplainable chest pains. During exploratory surgery, doctors discovered stage four cholangiocarcinoma. in his liver and gall bladder. The surgeon did not want to further operate, because there was too much cancer. Cancer had grown around the valve between the liver and gall bladder and pinched off the flow of bile, and for comfort, a drain was placed. Mr. Sanders was not expected to leave the hospital, as the estimated life span after diagnosis is one to three months.
His oncologist, in a last effort, decided to try chemotherapy treatments. When the cancer was nonresponsive after~ the second treatment, Sanders notes."They sent me home to die." Meanwhile, a family friend heard about Sanders' condition. She introduced Haelan to Sanders at his family home in LaVernia, Texas. He began drinking a bottle a day the first day, and noticed a great reduction in his chemotherapy1induced nausea, which had not abated since he had left the hospital. The same day, he experienced an increase in appetite and energy level.
He continued to drink a bottle per day, and his blood chemistry improved to such a level that the oncologists decided to resume the chemotherapytreatments. Sanders continued to drink a bottle a day of Haelan in conjunction with chemotherapy. He did not experience any adverse side effects of the chemotherapy. In addition to gaining weight, he found that his hair grew in darker than before. Within six weeks, his doctor reported that the.cancer around the bile duct had shrunk by 50%. With this encouragement, Sanders continued to drink Haelan and take the chemotherapy. In addition to Haelan, he became vegetarian and took venus fly trap, red Clover, CoQ10, liquid oxygen, and pycnogenol, though Sanders attributes his recovery primarily to the Haelan. "I drank a maintenance dose of Haelan for two years.
I switched doctors when we moved, and my new doctor, Clay Skinner, M.D., did not believe me when I told him that I had liver cancer, because no one is known to ever have survived cholangiocarcinoma. He took a biopsy of my liver and had it compared to the biopsysample from my exploratory surgery, and, sure enough, the test confirmed that it really was my liver. I tried to tell him, but now he believes me!" says Sanders. "I wouldn't be here without Haelan, lots ofprayers, a changed diet and a positive attitude." In a phone interview, Dr. Skinner stated he had confirmed the original diagnosis from tissue sample analysis and that Sanders was cancer free on a gross and microscopic level in March, 1998. Skinner said, "It Is striking that someone with cholangiocarcinoma is alive. Chemotherapy typically has no effect oii this type of cancer.

Talk about a lobsided trade in the Pacers favor. The Wizards aren't going to give away Jamison for Murphy and then throw in Foye with the inducement of getting Diener who hasn't played a game this season. Terrible trade for the Wizards.
Why would the Pacers want to take on 17 mil more in salary plus and extra year of contract?
yea if that happened i think we all woulda died and went to heaven lol
I think I saw this line on the board earlier, so I can't take credit for it but, you couldn't make that trade in NBA live
