THIS is the man police believe is involved in a string of burglaries on one day across the Winchester and East Hampshire districts.
Two suspects, one of whom features in the efit, who were seen on the driveway of a house in Martyr Worthy, near Winchester, at around 11.10am on Thursday, November 15.
They were disturbed by the homeowners. One of the men approached them and said he was lost and tried to get directions to Alresford. Both men then got into a vehicle and drove off towards the town.
Police are investigating burglaries on November 15 at homes in Woodlands, Bramdean; Lower Chilland Lane, Martyr Worthy; the B3047, Bishop's Sutton; a house near to the B3046, Old Alresford, and two near Alton at Church Road, Upper Farringdon and The Street, Binstead.
PC Craig Robinson said: "We believe that the men were disturbed before trying to gain access to the property in Martyr Worthy. I am appealing for anyone who recognises these men to come forward and speak to us.
He added: "As we approach the festive season, we would encourage people to ensure their home security is optimised, such as security lighting, including internal timer switches; ensuring homes are locked and secured whilst they are out, marking property with UV pens, photographing valuable or distinctive jewellery, and considering keeping expensive or sentimental items in a safety deposit box at their bank."
Anyone with any information should contact the Winchester or East Hampshire Priority Crime Teams on 101, quoting Operation Saunton, or call anonymously Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Honda recently awarded an all-new 2010 Honda Insight hybrid to Richard Hasenmyer of Houston, TX, as the winner of an environmentally-focused contest at the August 2009 Lollapalooza music festival. Hasenmyer, along with thousands of other festival attendees, participated in the 'Rock & Recycle' program, which aimed to promote recycling and eco-friendly transportation.
American Honda Motor Co., Inc., worked with C3, the promoter of Lollapalooza, as an official Eco-partner for the event. Honda's support as an Eco-partner on-site in Chicago included integrated "green" activities, hybrid-vehicle displays and the giveaway of the all-new 2010 Insight hybrid car.
"By participating in Rock & Recycle, the winner of this all-new Insight showed his passion for music and helping the environment," said Tom Peyton, senior manager of Honda national advertising. "These are two things that Honda is happy to actively support."
Honda is continuing its industry-leading efforts to address the environmental challenges of global climate change, emissions reduction and energy sustainability through a comprehensive approach that involves further improvements to gasoline-engine fuel efficiency; the development of real-world alternatives to gasoline, including natural gas and the hydrogen-powered fuel cell car; and technology for refueling alternative fuel vehicles. In 2007, Honda was named the "Greenest Automaker" by the Union of Concerned Scientists for the fourth consecutive time.

Updated from 2:25 p.m. ET to include mid-day share prices and additional data throughout NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It took about a year after Steve Jobs passing for Apple ( AAPL) to become a significant dividend paying stock, and heading into Berkshire Hathaway's ( BRK.B) annual shareholder meeting, investors should expect the same from the cash-gushing Warren Buffett-run company. Although Buffett articulated a path toward a dividend in Berkshire's 2012 shareholder letter, few investors or analysts expect any dividend announcement while the "Oracle of Omaha" is running the investing conglomerate. A dividend may be a natural part of Berkshire's transition to a successor. But that may be years down the line, given Buffett's apparent good health and enduring vigor, evident in recent years' large investments such as participation in a $28 billion deal for Heinz ( HNZ) and taking a leading stake in International Business Machines ( IBM). Berkshire Hathaway Class A shares were gaining 1.3% to $163,000 to extend a 2013 advanced to 21%, as the shares reached new record highs.
A Wednesday $2.1 billion deal for a remaining 20% stake in IMC International Metalworking Companies indicates Buffett also remains ready to pounce on opportunities when they present themselves. "It is quite clear that during Warren's lifetime a cash dividend would not be preferable," says Thomas Russo, a partner at Gardner, Russo & Gardner. Russo's observation comes even as Buffett devoted nearly three-pages in Berkshire's 2012 annual letter to conversation on dividends. "It's our job to increase intrinsic business value -- for which we use book value as a significantly understated proxy -- at a faster rate than the market gains of the S&P. If we do so, Berkshire's share price, though unpredictable from year to year, will itself outpace the S&P over time . . . We will stick with this policy as long as we believe our assumptions about the book-value buildup and the market-price premium seem reasonable," wrote Buffett of the firm's policy to reinvest its cash stockpiles instead of paying a dividend. "If the prospects for either factor change materially for the worse, we will reexamine our actions." At the beginning of the shareholder letter, Buffett lamented an underperformance of Berkshire's book value growth relative the S&P 500. He fears the firm's five-year book value growth rate may underperform the S&P 500 for the first time ever. "To date, we've never had a five-year period of underperformance, having managed 43 times to surpass the S&P over such a stretch. But the S&P has now had gains in each of the last four years, outpacing us over that period. If the market continues to advance in 2013, our streak of five year wins will end," Buffett wrote. In 2012, Berkshire's book value per share increased 14.4%, behind the S&P 500's gains of more than 15%. Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder Meeting: Upcoming Live Blog. Dividends will be more about estate planning than Berkshire's performance says Russo of Gardner, Russo & Gardner. "I didn't think that he conclusively supported a case for a cash dividend in that discussion," Russo says of Buffett's letter, and instead highlighted discussion as relevant to Buffett's planned donation of his fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Regular cash distributions, for instance dividends, would help Buffett's divestiture of his Berkshire holdings qualify as a charitable donation. Russo also downplays comparisons between Berkshire's dividend policy under Buffett and that of Apple under Steve Jobs. "The thing with Apple is they just had such a prolonged period of over-earning and under-investing. Cash just built by the weight of gravity," says Russo. Berkshire, he says is different in that much of its cash is derived from a cautious stance on underwriting insurance risk. Gardner, Russo & Gardner is Berkshire's tenth largest shareholder with a stake of nearly $800 million in the company's Class A shares and over $200 million of Class B shares, according to Bloomberg data. Russo says Berkshire holding's represent about 11% of the firm's assets. Topics such as succession planning for the 82-year old Buffett and cash returns to investors by way of share buybacks and dividends often loom over Berkshire's annual meeting.
"I don't know that Steve Jobs would have ever paid a dividend. At least Berkshire's management has at least conceived it conceptually," says Mayer Shields, a Keefe Bruyette Woods analyst, who covers Berkshire's shares. "I suspect that a dividend is inevitable . . . It is probably more palatable for that sea change to be done by someone else," Shields adds. Under Tim Cook, the successor to Steve Jobs at Apple, the iPhone-maker has transitioned from being dividend-less to the top payer of dividends in corporate America. After issuing $17 billion in debt to finance a dividend boost, Apple is expected to pay out over $11 billion in cash to shareholders this year. The move helps to placate shareholder angst on Apple's dividend policy, however, it's unlikely the company's co-founder Steve Jobs would have accepted such a move. "I don't think there is any chance that Berkshire will pay a dividend while Buffett is running Berkshire and I am happy with that," says Berkshire investor Whitney Tilson of Kase Capital. Tilson notes $1 in capital reinvested into Berkshire's operating subsidiaries or by Buffett and his lieutenants Todd Combs and Ted Weschler is far superior to any after-tax distribution. "Buffett is very likely to be running Berkshire for another five years," Tilson adds. The consensus among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters is for Berkshire Hathaway to report a first-quarter profit of $3.3 billion on revenue of $42.2 billion, compared to earnings of $3.0 billion on revenue of $39.2 billion in the first quarter of 2012. Berkshire Hathaway opened Friday trading at nearly $163,000 a share, a new record for the company.

VANCOUVER—Tuesday was all about turning over a new leaf for the Vancouver Canucks.
The team wanted to roll out its new coach and ease him into the new market. A morning YouTube session with fan questions focused on the lighter side of John Tortorella. He talked of the Seawall and Grouse Grind, two distinctive, attractive features of the city.
Meeting a couple hours later with assembled media, the Canucks officially introduced Tortorella as the 17th coach in franchise history. Tortorella is cast in the wool as a difference face than his predecessor Alain Vigneault. Vigneault was a player's coach, who reportedly let the veteran leadership control the room.
Tortorella on Tuesday stressed accountability. He stressed the process of turning prospects and minor leaguers into true professionals. He stressed that Henrik and Daniel Sedin, the two offensive stars in Vancouver since the last lockout, might kill penalties—and that they'll have to block shots.
So if there was a theme, it was change. A softened coach, but still a stronger personality in this particular room, leading to a stiffer team with an attitude more conducive to postseason wins.
Tactically, however, there hasn't been much difference between the way Tortorella and Vigneault have conducted their business over the last two seasons. Tortorella is characterized as a defensive mind, but as he said, there is no coach in the NHL that doesn't want to get more from his offense.
"I think a big part of a coach is putting his players in situations where they can succeed," Tortorella said. What he meant was that he would generally use his scoring forwards in a more favorable situational role. Rick Nash, for instance, was on the ice for 300 offensive zone faceoffs in the 2013 season compared to just 199 in the defensive zone. Checking center Brian Boyle, by contrast, started 103 shifts in the offensive end but 166 in the defensive end, according to behindthenet.ca.
While it doesn't seem like a big difference, there is marginal value in starting shooters in the offensive zone. It will result in more shots. The New York Rangers employed the tactical standard set by Vigneault.
"Situations in games always dictate certain things, momentum of games," Tortorella said. "Sometimes the players you're counting on might not be going that night. But that's a big part of my job, to ensure that I'm getting the right people on the ice at the right times.
"I think coaches coach the players that they're given," Canucks GM Mike Gillis said. "Like Alain. Alain was cast as a defensive coach when I got here, and we led the league in scoring two years in a row."
The Sedins benefited from the Vigneault zone deployment strategy for three years. The minutes are going to get tougher. Henrik accepted a more defensive role last season because the Canucks were so thin down the middle, and is fine with being even less sheltered this upcoming season.
Not only will he kill penalties, but he said on Tuesday that he asked for the role, and that he and his brother enjoyed doing that under Marc Crawford a decade ago as rookies.
Sedin and Sedin will be counted on more defensively, but compared to other players in the league, they will also continue to get a lot of offensive zone opportunities. Gillis said that he is in the process of bringing Tortorella up to speed on the research and analytics the Canucks have used themselves.
"I did work Alain, and we are working with John," Gillis said. "we're educating him more about some of the philosophy that we have here. He's extremely open to it, in fact, is eager to get involved and eager to learn more."
So the theme of the press conference was change, for both the face of the team and the man who is going to lead it going forward, but the Canucks are still set in their ways. The tactics will be familiar, but the style in which they're presented will be different.

So I am just back from a long weekend in Poland. To get there I had the usual trek to JFK and all it's long term parking and security nonsense, a 2 hour layover in Amsterdam and 4 hour drive from Warsaw to Sopot. By the time I arrived I had just enough time to soundcheck, shave, shower and go back to the venue to perform. Luckily even with 30 hours of nonstop packing and travel behind me once on stage in front of such hyped up kids I felt totally fresh. Sopot is a vacation town on the Baltic Sea. In fact the nightclub which is strangely named Sfinks700 is in a small green park with views of the beach. Kids from the event are free to go in out of the club down to the water. The sound system was really sharp and loud and I tried on a new tall hat and a see through pixelated Mitt Romney mask for the song "The World Will Know Us". The other DJs including Tymon, Sebastian, Matt Green, PZG and the Warsaw Speedcore Team all were great. The lovely promoter Nicole told me some kids didn't believe I was going to show up and there were some naysayers saying the event would flop. I am happy to report both were greatly unfounded! I had fun watching kids on a new drug called "Methadrome". Correct me if I have that name wrong. EDIT: I have been notified it's called "Mephedrone". It was described to me as ecstacy that you snort that doesn't last as long. It has an interesting side effect in that you often loose some recent memory. Scary and fun? All I know is people looked like that were having a great time. I met some very cool people there and now can add Poland to one of those places I want to return to. This kicks off a series of summer live shows and DJ sets I am doing. Next up is NYC, Newcastle and Dortmund. Oh there is going to be many more photos from this event and I will add them to my flickr account and Facebook profile as I get them!
"Oliver is already on the plane home, so my job is over and i can finally say I never expected that so many people would come out to this event that it would be almost too many! We have proven that hard work and commitment we can achieve something that long has been considered impossible." – Nicole Gier

Topic: Wanted to share
This Poem was read by georges nephew while we released 4 white doves.the first dove represented Georges spirit,the other three were for the father the son and the holy spirit.
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me,for now i'm free.
I am following the path God has laid you see.
I took his hand when i heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
to laugh,to love,to work or play,
tasks left undone must stay that way,
i found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy's.
A friendship shared,a laugh,a kiss,
Oh yes,these things i too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full,i savored much,
good friends,good times,a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undo grief,
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
God wanted me now,he set me free..
In loving memory of
George Edward Driver Jr.

Standing at four feet, seven inches tall, Santa Fe by way of London actor Hugh Elliot is used to last-minute phone calls around this time. They also tend to come during the holidays.
"Obviously that happens," Elliot says in his deep, British baritone. "Fortunately, due to the hard work of people other than myself—people like Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones—things are changing."
The change, the actor says, is a slow but welcome one.
"You know, 30 years ago, when you saw an African-American guy with a big Afro on a cop show, that was already radical. Now, he or she is the lieutenant on the show, the top actor, and nobody notices. So, it's kind of like that."
He continues, "There are less Little People than there are black people or one-legged lesbians, but it's definitely progress."
An accomplished film, stage and voice-over actor who's worked with both A-list actors and "really obnoxious, full of themselves" B-listers, the thespian says he takes pigeonhole casting in stride. Last St. Patrick's Day, for example, he played a leprechaun at the International Green Ideas Show in Albuquerque and was asked to hand out coin-shaped chocolates to children in attendance.
"It was fun. You just get into the character," he says, without a hint of embarrassment. "I'm sort of over that now, at this point."
Not so, Elliot says, in his younger days. One particularly painful experience was a school production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
"I hated it because it was stereotyped and it was BS," he recalls. "But now, I'm a SAG actor, [and] they pay you very well. Everyone's got their price," he says with a laugh, adding that he's "taking advantage of it; Little People are sort of in at the moment."
According to Dennis Otsuka, president of the Little People of America's "Chili Peppers" group (which includes all of New Mexico and El Paso, Texas), the chapter only has 30 active members. In contrast, he explains to SFR, "San Diego is probably three of four times larger than us," making Elliot a minority within a minority.
That didn't stop him from settling in Santa Fe. He came here on holiday in 1994 and, like many artists before him, never left.
"Santa Fe is lifestyle, not a career," he points out.
Reminiscing about gigs where height did not play a factor—like playing the role of Dr. Einstein in a theater production of Arsenic and Old Lace three years ago—his face lights up. One print review, he recalls, referred to the casting decision as "brilliant."
"My colleagues were pretty jealous of that, but what can you do?" he says.
It's on a movie set, however, that Elliot feels the most at home.
"I tell you, it's just the creative process," he says. "It's very expensive—a movie set, $30-$40,000 an hour—so nobody is sitting around doing nothing, and if they are, they look like they're doing something. Everyone is focused on the goal."
He recalls an old Hollywood saying that if you get to the set during daylight, you're late, and if you leave it during daylight, it means you got fired.
Tinseltown, Elliot hopes, will be at the forefront of change.
"Once they see it as a problem, they'll do something about it—like disability acts, or legislatively."
Asked about his dream role, he pauses and quips: "I want to play Kareem Abdul-Jabbar."
"Keep at it," he suggests to the younger generation of actors that don't fit the leading role standard. "You've got to follow your dream; you've got to want it," he says, with passion. "The key is not to feel sorry for yourself, and B, not to think you're special. You are an actor whether you're tall, short, fat, whatever.
Otherwise, get a real job."
The sentiment, however, does not apply to his desire to portray the famed NBA all-time leading scorer, as Elliot is the first to admit that he's not very good at basketball.
"They can do stuff with CGI now, but it's not really likely," he jokes.
Confident enough to disclose the anecdotes of his colorful career, the actor doesn't hesitate to share one of the "hundreds more embarrassing for them than me stories."
One of them involves a noted producer who attempted to recruit Elliot for his movie, which at the time was beginning to film in ABQ.
Elliot recalls a pre-meeting phone conversation.
"He said, 'By the way, Hugh, I need to ask what's the official term—I hope you don't mind me asking—for you people?'"
"I said, 'British,' and hung up the phone. That was the end of that conversation."

Donate to Gary Parks Memorial Scholarship to Help Future Firefighters
Press Release
Release Date: Feb. 26, 2014
Contact: John Olson, Executive Director of the EvCC Foundation and Vice President of College Advancement, 425-388-9555; email@example.com
Gary Parks Memorial Scholarship to Help Future Firefighters
Photo: Everett Firefighter Steve Goforth and Erin VanRy, daughter of Everett Firefighter Gary Parks, with a picture of Parks at Everett Community College's Firefighter Plaza. The plaza was created to honor Parks, who died while battling a fire that destroyed the college's student union in 1987.
EVERETT, Wash. – The family of Everett firefighter Gary Parks and his fellow firefighters are creating an Everett Community College scholarship to honor Parks' memory.
Parks, an 18-year veteran of the Everett Fire Department, was killed in 1987 battling a fire that destroyed EvCC's library and student union.
The Gary Parks Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a student enrolled in EvCC's Fire Science program.
"This scholarship is something I have always wanted to do in my dad's honor. I know firsthand the importance of a quality education and how it can give you an edge in the employment arena," said Gary Park's oldest daughter, Erin VanRy. "I have a special place in my heart for members of fire service and Everett Community College. Thank you on behalf of the Parks family for supporting this scholarship."
The Everett Community College Foundation is asking for donations to the scholarship fund. To give, contact EvCC Development Director Amy Wilcox at email@example.com or 425-388-9250.
The scholarship will be first awarded for fall quarter 2014, Wilcox said. Fundraising will determine what amount is awarded. An application will be available March 10. Visit the scholarships web page and complete the EvCC Foundation application for all scholarships.
Applicants must live in Snohomish or Island counties, be enrolled in the college's Fire Science program and have a 2.5 GPA or higher. Preference will be given to candidates with community service experience.
"Gary's life was devoted to community service and helping others," said Everett Fire Department firefighter Steve Goforth. "We are thrilled to help make it financially possible for others to follow in his path and honor his memory at the same time."
Parks is also remembered at the college. When the college rebuilt its student union, it named the building in honor of Parks. EvCC also has a sculpture in his memory located near the Gary Parks Memorial Student Union.
The college honored Parks at a memorial in 2012 on the 25th anniversary of his death. That same year, he was named as one of the college's distinguished alumni, the highest honor given to college alumni.

Venters likely headed to DL with elbow sprain
LAKELAND, Fla. -- After nearly going through Spring Training without any of their players suffering a significant injury, the Braves are approaching the start of the regular season with uncertainty surrounding reliever Jonny Venters, who exited Tuesday's 6-5 win against the Tigers with a left elbow sprain.
Venters surrendered two hits and issued two walks while recording just one out before signaling for manager Fredi Gonzalez and assistant trainer Jim Lovell to come to the mound. After a brief evaluation, Venters was sent to the clubhouse.
"He called us out and said it didn't feel right, which is good on his part," Gonzalez said. "At that point, there was no point in messing with it."
Venters was on the disabled list in July with a left elbow impingement, and he encountered multiple setbacks after undergoing Tommy John elbow surgery in 2005. He experienced some discomfort over the course of the past month and the Braves shut him down for 10 days after he issued four walks in one inning against the Cardinals on March 13.
Venters completed one inning in a Minor League game on Saturday in pain-free fashion, but this latest setback created the likelihood that he will begin this season on the disabled list. The Braves will provide more information after re-evaluating him on Wednesday.
"I can't assume anything," Gonzalez said when asked how much time Venters could miss.
With Venters sidelined and right-handed reliever Jordan Walden on track to be ready for the start of the season, it appears Atlanta's Opening Day roster will include Cristhian Martinez and Anthony Varvaro, a pair of right-handed relievers who are out of options.
Wirfin Obispo, a right-handed reliever who was reassigned to Minor League camp on Sunday, could possibly take one of those spots, Gonzalez said. Obispo recorded two strikeouts in a scoreless inning against the Tigers on Tuesday. He has surrendered one hit in five scoreless Grapefruit League innings.
Venters has made 230 appearances since he made his Major League debut on April 17, 2010. The only pitcher with more appearances since the start of the 2010 season is Cincinnati's Sean Marshall (231).
The heavy workload appeared to take a toll on Venters, as he compiled a 4.45 ERA and surrendered six home runs in his first 40 appearances last year. In the 164 appearances Venters made during the 2010 and '11 seasons, he posted a 1.59 ERA, surrendered three home runs and held opponents to a .300 on-base percentage.
After missing two weeks in July last year, Venters looked more like he had the previous two seasons. He compiled a 1.71 ERA, did not allow a home run and limited opponents to a .292 on-base percentage in his final 26 appearances.

Topic: Grieving and Thankful at the same time
Is there such a thing as pre-grief? I'm sure there's a fancy name for it. There are so many things I've mourned the loss of - going out to eat, seeing a movie, walking together holding hands, intimacy, talking over the day, discussing our kids, sharing concerns, finances and the list goes on and on. Charlie is becoming a shell of his former self. Does that sound awful? Ben (our 17 year old) said it brings tears to his eyes every time he sees his Dad going down the hall with his walker. Charlie tried to tie Ben's tie for Senior Day and couldn't remember how to do it. He said, "I'm just withering away to nothing." That was so sad. The deterioration of a loved one is a very hard thing to see. I went through it when I was 17 with my Mom's cancer and this is worse still. What does it feel like for Charlie? Day in, day out, waiting to die. He's not afraid. He's ready to go. It's just in God's time and he could have days, weeks or months left. This has got to be one of the hardest trials to go through. Some days I just want to stay in bed and not get up. It's painful in a physical gut wrenching sort of way. My heart breaks for everyone touched by this cancer. I'm so thankful for the life we've had and all our many blessings. Nevertheless, Charlie's loving wife of almost 27 years and best friend is starting to crumble. It's almost too much to comprehend that things can get a lot worse before it's his time and how to handle it.

TRIBUTES have been paid to Swindon-born artist Glynn Uzzell who died in a gas explosion at his Portuguese home.
Glynn, 84, and his partner of 40 years Paul Fonk were killed at their Caramujeira home on June 23.
Glynn, a renowned painter, who grew up in Pinehurst, worked as a teacher before moving to the Algarve where he set up his studio at a renovated farmhouse.
Glynn previously wrote: "My move to Portugal. Had a profound effect on my work. The intense white light of the Algarve, the colours of the rocks, the vegetation and the presence of the sea, transformed my palette and loosened my approach.
"There I developed a close relationship with my immediate environment and the landscape around me, the feel of a specific place at a particular time, the mood of a particular moment."
Despite living abroad, Glynn would return to England several times a year to visit his sister Wendy Curtis, 78, who lives in Liddington.
She said: "He was my brother and I loved him very, very much.
"We would always be in touch with each other, always writing and we'd always visit each other.
"Glynn and Paul were really good together and Paul was like another brother to me."
As an artist, Glynn was largely unknown in the UK, exhibiting in Germany, Switzerland and Portugal.
His work, much of which was based on the Algarve landscape, was sold as part of public and private collections.
Born in 1930, Glynn, came from a family of railwaymen but he chose a different path, studying at Headlands Grammar School. He then went to the Institute of Education, London and Goldsmith's College. This led to a career working as an artist and teacher.
He taught in London, then at International School, in Geneva, Switzerland. There he devised an international art and design programme for International Bacca -laureate.
Glynn was asked to become a chief examiner but decided to focus on being a painter and printmaker.
He moved to Portugal with Paul in 1979 and his last exhibition was in Portimão.
The artist was a member of the Chelsea Arts Club and was sponsored by the late actor Clive Dunn, a friend and painting companion in the Algarve.
In recent years, Glynn had suffered ill-health receiving treatment for a heart condition at John Radcliffle Hospital in Oxford.
Wendy said he was enjoying a new lease of life after the hospital fitted him with a defibrillator.
She will be travelling to Portugal today to scatter her brother's ashes.

I'm trying to find a good distance disc to learn how to throw a flattened hyzer. I started out with more overstable discs and learned to throw an anhyzer as my main distance shot. Having played for awhile, I would like to learn how to throw a flattened hyzer. Unfortunantly, I don't really have any discs that I can flatten. The least overstable disc in my bag right now is a KC Pro Gazelle. I can throw approximately 280 feet. Would a DX Valkyrie be a good choice to learn a flattened hyzer?
Thanks for your help.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.
It's a powerful AM/FM portable with a built in MP3 player and recorder. The right half of the radio is dedicated to AM and FM radio, while the left half is used to manage recording and playback. Traditionally AM radio is very difficult to record into MP3 format because of unwanted noise generated by the digital components inside the radio. The PR-D8 overcomes this problem by using good circuit craftsmanship techniques.
With the press of a button you can record your favorite talk show or music into digital MP3 format. A timer can also be set to automatically turn the radio on, record for a selected amount of time, and turn the radio off when finished. The PR-D8 will also record from old turntables, cassette decks, or any other source through its line-input jack.
A secure digital SD memory card (not included) is required for recording. With a 2-gigabyte SD card you can record for over 60 hours at standard quality 64kbps (kilobits per second). For high quality recordings you can adjust the recording quality to 128kbps or 192kbps. Selecting a higher kilobit per second recording rate will increase the quality but will also use more memory space.
The PR-D8 has two microphones for recording your voice, meetings, or a concert in stereo. The sensitivity of these microphones can be set to "low" for recording loud concerts or "high" for recording quiet board meetings.
Since digital recorders tend to use batteries quickly, the PR-D8 has a built-in charging circuit for rechargeable NiMH or NiCad batteries. Four "C" size NiMH batteries (not included) will record for about 10 hours and play for more than 50 hours.

'The Amazing Spider-Man' #1 Brings Back The Quips, But Feels Like A 'Superior' Epilogue
Dan Slott must have been saving up his jokes over the past 16 months or so.
The Amazing Spider-Man #1, the issue that officially reintroduces Peter Parker to the Marvel Universe after a lengthy absence during which his body was under the control of Doctor Octopus, is chock full of laugh lines that really hit. Slott, artist Humberto Ramos, inker Victor Olazaba and colorist Edgar Delgado get the tone just right, but I couldn't help but feel that the story itself was a bit lacking in forward momentum, as the lingering effects of Superior Spider-Man dominated the issue's lead story.

The information stored and generated on HPCVL facilities is a vital asset to the researchers utilizing HPCVL resources. The purpose of the Security Policy is to protect this asset by establishing responsibility for the security of that information and the resources of the facility. This policy applies to all HPCVL staff and third parties involved in supporting the consortium, and users of the facilities.
It is the policy of the HPCVL to protect the information assets of its users and allow the use, access and disclosure of such information only in accordance with HPCVL policy and applicable laws and regulations. All employees providing services or working with the HPCVL's information are responsible for protecting it from unauthorized access, modification, destruction or disclosure.
This policy details the rules of conduct for users of HPCVL computing resources, list general prohibitions which apply, and provides additional information that may apply in certain circumstances.
All resources managed and overseen by HPCVL are covered by this policy, including computing hardware and software, documentation and other reference materials, all data residing on HPCVL machines and all consortium owned data wherever it resides, media such as CD-ROM, tape and other storage devices, and all other possessions managed by HPCVL. Policy coverage will apply even in cases where the management of HPCVL has authorized the temporary relocation of resources to areas not normally under the control of HPCVL management (such as a user office or employee's home).
HPCVL considers all temporary and permanent connections to be subject to the provisions of this policy.
Computing resources not owned by the HPCVL may be connected to the HPCVL's facilities. However, all such resources must function in accordance with HPCVL regulations governing the use of computing resources.
HPCVL reserves the right to monitor the content of all transmissions on networks maintained by the facility at any time necessary in accordance with all provincial and federal regulations. If such monitoring is deemed necessary, approval must be given by the Director prior to the act of monitoring.
Each institution must appoint a staff member who will maintain a list of HPCVL inventory at that institution. The list of HPCVL inventory must be made available when required by HPCVL.
Access to computer rooms, wiring closets, and other locations containing HPCVL hardware (both computer and network components) must be physically restricted. Whenever physical restrictions are temporarily inactivated, backup monitoring must be substituted. This is done to prevent tampering, theft, and unauthorized usage. In accordance with this, network topology for HPCVL system must be designed in such a way as to minimize the chance of unauthorized access to the network and transmitted data.
User accounts on HPCVL systems are regulated using the following criteria as defined in the Account Management Procedure:
Unless otherwise pre-arranged, inactive user accounts on a system will be disabled after forty-five (45) days. The account owner will be notified fifteen (15) days prior to this action.
Accounts will be deleted when a user no longer requires time on the system. This shall be determined as per the policies of granting use of the system.
HPCVL management reserves the right to deny facility access, or suspend or delete user accounts earlier than the times specified when compelling reasons exist for such action. In all cases, such change of access will be approved by the Director beforehand.
Subject to the limitations of particular systems, HPCVL will force the regular changing of passwords on all accounts for all systems.
Naming standards, password change frequency, password length, and allowable number of unsuccessful login will be standardized.
Full contact and affiliation information must be recorded and available prior to access being granted.
Users should have a minimum number of userid names in use on HPCVL's computing platforms. The same userid will be used on all machines. The use of non-standard mechanisms for account creation is strongly discouraged. The standard mechanisms for account creation should be as similar as possible across all platforms. The minimum account name length is three characters, and should never exceed eight characters.
Users are required to notify HPCVL immediately about the departure of users when such users have accounts that allow access to the HPCVL systems.
Prohibited acts include but are not limited to the following:
All users are expected to use good practices that will ensure proper use of HPCVL's computing resources. Such efforts include (but are not necessarily limited to):
Accessible information (because of accidental exposure and/or through the malice of others who have broken into a system or are misusing their access privileges) does not necessarily condone use or modification privileges.
General adherence to the computer code of ethics at the corresponding institutions is required.
All sensitive, valuable, and critical data resident on the HPCVL systems will be periodically backed up. Backup data will have equivalent security to online data. Backups will be stored offsite. Users with an enhanced requirement that requires special arrangements must get approval from the Director of HPCVL.
When accounts are removed from HPCVL machines, data stored within the account will be retained for a period of one (1) year. Removal of data will be done with disk scrubbing tools such as those that overwrite the data multiple times before removal. All data on HPCVL system will be considered to be sensitive data.
To prevent infection from computing viruses or worms, HPCVL staff must not use any externally provided software from anyone other than known and trusted suppliers. The only exception to this is software that has been tested and approved by the Director or designate.The system administrators will ensure the integrity of the operating software and system data on HPCVL machines on a regular basis. Modifications to the system configuration or software will be noted.
All HPCVL computerized journals and logs containing relevant system activities will be retained for three (3) years. During this period, these files cannot be modified and can be read only by authorized HPCVL personnel.
Information describing all reported information security problems and violations will be retained for a period of seven (7) years.
The retention period can be extended if the material might be required for an imminent legal action.
The HPCVL system administrators will maintain a systematic process for the recording, retention, and destruction of sensitive data and accompanying logs for the purpose of auditing or investigation.
Time synchronization will be applied to all HPCVL servers.
System administrators will not use their privileges to examine the private information of other users except in the course of resolving problems and where access to such information is necessary.
When private information must be examined because of situations not related to the normal maintenance performed by system administrators, the Director of HPCVL will be informed of the activity to ensure that all HPCVL, Provincial, and Federal policies are taken into account during the examination of such information.
Under no circumstances will HPCVL staff share account passwords, key combinations, alarm codes, keys, access cards or any other access control mechanism for any HPCVL-owned resource or facility with any individual in a manner inconsistent with the policies established by their supervisor. In the absence of such policies, employees must have the explicit permission of their supervisor to share any access mechanism to any HPCVL resource.
HPCVL staff may not remove resources (hardware, software, documentation, etc.) from HPCVL facilities without the explicit permission of their supervisor. In all cases the supervisor shall be notified of the movement and shall update the employee's inventory record accordingly.
HPCVL staff may not load any software onto their workstations or HPCVL's multi-user servers, which has not been purchased or is not free. Software identified as "shareware" will be examined carefully to ensure that HPCVL is in compliance with any requirements regarding corporate usage. However, under no circumstances will software binaries from unknown or illegal sources be placed on HPCVL workstations or servers. This regulation also applies to HPCVL machines not located in HPCVL facilities.
HPCVL reserves the right to audit HPCVL workstations and servers without warning for the purpose of verifying software licensing compliance.
HPCVL staff may not grant accounts to non-HPCVL users without the explicit permission of their supervisor.
No HPCVL staff member may run any program which extracts the data portion of network packets without the explicit permission of their respective director.
Employees and users who violate this policy may be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with HPCVL due process.
The following HPCVL policies may be more appropriate for dealing with certain situations or may provide additional information when HPCVL enforces the provisions of this policy:
Please refer to your institutions own Policies for particulars.
HPCVL staff: staff and/or designate working on any HPCVL project.

mutsuk wrote:As for Tibetan translation in general, I find Tibetan to chinese translation is better in term of accuracy. This is because Tibetan buddhist terminology share a common standard with chinese buddhist terminology, so tibetan translators has little choice in term of chinese words other than the standard terminology of buddhism that were used on both sides.
I am referring you to the tibetan directly. I have huge reservation about translations into Chinese from any language because Chinese is very inaccurate. You should learn tibetan directly or access properly translated versions. On this subject of "chinese translations" in general and in particuler on their inadequacy to carry on proper meaning, you should read that book:
Jungnok Park: How Buddhism Acquired a Soul on the Way to China, Equinox Publishing, 2012. This puts a definitive end to any claim of valid understanding of Buddhist thought in general in Chinese language...
That looks like an interesting book, I'll borrow it once my local library has it available. However it seems like her opinions there are a bit extreme -- Xuanzang recognised that the early translations were flawed for one and his translations attempted to overcome the use of the old terminology for one. I've also been thinking about this a little though, and maybe some features of Chinese grammar itself don't make it very good to convey certain concepts particularly things like plurality and time.

Colorado Rockies first baseman Todd Helton has entered a guilty plea charges of "driving while ability impaired," The Denver Post reports. He has been sentenced to one year of probation, a $400 fine and 24 hours of community service.
"I am very regretful," Helton said in court. "I have taken measures to ensure it never happens again."
Helton, 39, was arrested Feb.6 and charged with driving under the influence and careless driving. A witness reported that the car driven by Helton hit a median, and Helton reportedly admitted to police that he had consumed two glasses of red win earlier in the night.
According to The Denver Post, prosecutors revealed Tuesday that Helton's blood alcohol level was .102 (above the .08 legal limit).
WITRADO: MLB must toughen its DUI discipline
Helton, activated from the disabled list Sunday, is hitting .267/.327/.400 with a homer and 10 RBIs in 14 games this season. He has spent his entire 17-season major league career with the Rockies.

Deerfield, Ill. Walgreen Co. said Thursday that Alan McNally, a director at the company since 1999, was named to the newly created position of "lead director" at Walgreen.
"Designating a lead director is becoming a standard good governance practice, making it the right time for us to take this action," said Walgreens chairman and CEO Jeffrey A. Rein.
McNally served as CEO of Harris Bank from 1993 to 2002. Although he is now retired, he continues to serve as a special advisor to the bank.

General George C. Marshall and General Dwight D. Eisenhower are two of the most distinguised generals America has ever had. Marshall graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1901 and was posted in various position until World War I where he went to France as the director of training and planning for the 1st Infantry Division and was quickly promoted to American Expeditionary Forces headquarters. Before America's involvement in WWII Marshall was nominated by President Roosevelt to Army Chief of Staff and promoted to General and sworn in in 1939.
Dwight D. Eisenhower eventually became the 34th President of the United States. His military career began after his gradutaion from West Point in 1915. While inschool, Eisenhower was the starting running back for West Points Varsity football team. He once said that one of his greatest disappointments of his life was not making the baseball team. However, once graduated and stationed at Fort Sam Houston, he became football coach for St. Louis College, now St. Mary's University as his request for assignemnt in the Philippines was denied. From 1920, Eisenhower served with a slew of highly decorated generals including, Douglas MacArthur, and George Marshall. During WWII, after the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor, Eisenhower was assigned to the General Staff in Washington doe to his incredible organizational skills. It was Eisenhower that was responsible for creating the plans that would eventually defeat Germany and Japan. Eisenhower was sworen in as 34th President of the United States on January 20, 1953 and served two terms, succeeded by John F. Kennedy.
This coin depicts two of the finest American men on the obverse. George C. Marshall on the left, and Dwight D. Eisenhower on the right. It's reverse, like the $5 Gold commemorative, features the Leavenworth Lamp with the heraldic crest on its side. This coin has been graded a perfect MS-70 by PCGS!

An initiative to help our brothers and sisters have a place to pray before our Lord again
"Rebuild my Church", was what our Lord told Saint Francis
of Assisi from the Cross one day when he was
praying in the then-broken down Church of San Damiano.This was
the beginning of the Franciscan order, which started off repairing
nearby churches and then went on to "repair" and renew
the living Church of Chris.Saint Francis of Assisi Project,
whose motto is: "God´s house is your house", promotes the
reconstruction of churches damaged by earthquakes in El Salvador. A
group of Regnum Christi members have united together to bring
back those churches that have been a testimony of faith
for so many men and women throughout history in El
Salvador. These Churches and small chapels have held the sacred
Body and Blood of our Lord for centuries and now
need our help so that our Lord may continue his
Many churches were destroyed during the recent earthquakes that hit El Salvador

Peck I don't think Vince flopped, he got hit in the eye, that play was actually bs if you are rooting for the Mavericks.
Sorry for the flurry of posts, but wanted to note the "Stat of the Night", or I should say "Stats".
Although Hibbert was, again, atrocious from the field (30%) he did 2 very, VERY important things: Got to the line SEVEN times (!) and didn't have a single turnover. For the first time he didn't let his struggles scoring get to him, he played with energy/passion, something that had been missing.
Love seeing the big fella get his head right. Other parts of his game will follow.
Exactly what we needed. Hopefully the Knicks won't be too angry coming off of the loss.
Vince Carter on camera, after inadvertently hitting Hansbrough: "If he'd gone to Duke I would've taken him down".
Roy's contributions tonight went beyond what was on the stat sheet. There were a couple times where he hit West with a pass to get David a trip to the foul line, some solid D, and helping the offense. Once G2 and Area 55 got the "Let's Go Roy" chant really rolling, you could literally see Roy's confidence growing.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
Remember when I said that I thought Gerald Green (and PG) should post-up more often, because they're skilled in that area?
There ya go. Those of you who watched the game already saw it. But ta-daaa.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
I think this is the start of a streak that will last until he retires. A team that employs Jim O'Brien will never win a game against the Pacers again. Too much bad juju.
So the question is pretty straight forward, what did the Team do this time that is different then last time?
Can we capture it in a bottle and force-feed it to the Team before the start of a game?
In all seriousness, how did Lance do in this game?
It sounds like he is starting to click and figure things out..... but was he decent on the offensive and defensive end?
I think that it's been noted that Lance has been getting far more mintues over the last 2 games and is starting to contibute on a positive note.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Guy's a legit player now, been playing too solid for too many games now to just call it a flash in the pan. I was wrong. And so were like 80% of you reading this so shut up.
Yup. Lance is legit and he has made most of us (including me) eat a lot of crow. And that's ****ing amazing. I love this year's Lance
All that, and we hit way more of our open shots too.
In post-game interviews Hill and Young both said Vogel put in some new plays.

Lance goes 5/9 with 12 points? With the starters? In a real win? Whats that you say? He hit 2 three's and had 3 assists to only 1 turnover? This kid is maturing right before our eyes and I can not wait to see what he's fully capable of.
Lmao where the people that wanted Lance cut for little Hansbrough? Hilarious.
They probably crawled under a rock still waiting to come out till Stephenson has a really bad game.
Enjoyed the win and expect the team to build off it. At the same time, I found Dallas surprisingly underwhelming. Regardless of record, I don't think this is a good team. Maybe with a healthy Dirk. I'm glad we did not obtain Kaman. Like DC as a backup, but since he allegedly wouldn't accept that role, I'm not upset he's gone. Just wish we could have filled his spot with something more appetizing than Agustin/Lil Hansbrough.
If Lance can manage to consistently give us low double digits and reasonably level - headed play, it will be huge. Roy's activity level was much better. His overall play was not that much better. Abusing Murphy in garbage time down low doesn't count for much in my book. But, hopefully, if that intensity remains things will pick up.
PG on the other hand...blech on the offensive end. Huge height advantage multiple times where DC was matched up with him and the majority of them he couldn't hold position or get off a strong, non - fading away shot. So he's got a lot of work to do in that area. Plus the handles still aren't good enough.
Hope Seth is right about the bench guys slowly finding themselves. Only one I'm liking much right now is Mahinmi, but the big problem is the guy can't cure his foul magnet propensity. Young was great tonight. Much appreciated, but can he really be a reliable 3 pt threat?
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
Only sucks that Lance didn't get an assist after the first quarter.
Need to get Lance more involved on offense. If he can keep shooting lights out like he has all season, it'll take pressure off PG and Hibbs cause the defense will have to contain Lance.
But you can't stop Lance, you can ONLY hope to contain him! Yeah, I went there.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
I remember when Young was at PItt he consistently hit that baseline shot. It was his bread and butter shot.
If Sam Young can get to where he doesn't hurt you offensively (not even wishing for helping, even after tonight) then he's very rotation worthy because he'll help you defensively every night, as long as you don't mismatch him positionally (like have him guarding 4s, etc). I like Sam Young too, He's an okay jump shot from being very valuable.
Thank Goodness for the WIN!
What took so long for Frank to realize that his offensive scheme sucked and he needed to try something different. I still don't know about Frank and the Pacers. Mavs are a pretty bad team at the moment and their defense was terrible against the Pacers. We'll see soon where this team is come Sunday. I hope last night is the beginning of a great season and I hope Frank proves me wrong and shows that he can make adjustments and is NBA head coaching worthy!
Go Pacers!
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL

The truly great can admit it when they are wrong. I read all your posts and this will only make me pay more attention in the future.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Another thing about Lance last night that some may have missed. He was a real leader out there. "Leader" may be too strong, because he is so young. But he is a mega-cheerleader who encourages the guys who really need it after big plays.
Not only that, he has that feel that winners have for when to hit key shots (Granger and Hill also have that). The three he hit in the third, I think, that put us up by 13 or so, was the psychological turning of the game. Players with a killer's instinct know how important it is not to just just coast on a 9 or 10 point lead but to put the foot on the opponent's throat.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Yea, Lance was off the chain last night. I am very happy for him. I hope he keeps it up, I think he might just do that too. I think a lot of us have known he has a huge upside. We just all questioned his immaturity vs the NBA. Rather or not he could put his talents to good use in the NBA before self destruct. Pacers FO has done very well with him. Larry obviously saw something in Lance on a personal level to allow patience with Lance.

Screen Saver Passwords to be Enforced on College Computers
Contributed by Karen Sunderland on 05/06/14
Like any organization that deals with sensitive information, Ithaca College must be in compliance with a variety of security standards. To ensure this compliance, our security practices and policies are regularly reviewed by external auditors, and often result in recommended or mandated changes to our security practices. One such recommendation that the college as a whole has been asked to comply with is the enforcement of screen saver passwords on virtually all college-owned computers.
Going forward, the majority of college computers (with some exceptions noted below*) will automatically activate the screen saver after 15 minutes of inactivity, requiring the login (Netpass) password to be entered to resume use of the system. The new screen saver policy will be implemented on Windows machines beginning Tuesday, May 13th, with Macs to follow in the coming weeks.
The purpose of the policy is to ensure that users' systems are not subject to unauthorized access when left unattended for long periods of time while logged into any one of our many systems that store sensitive information. While the college recognizes that all security measures pose some level of inconvenience, a screen saver password is far less inconvenient than the alternative of requiring each of our applications (Homer, Parnassus, Email, Sakai, etc.) to have their own 15-minute inactivity timeout.
*Exceptions to the screen saver password policy:

It gives us no joy to side with the Obama administration in its recent decision to deny California a waiver from requirements of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act, better known as the No Child Left Behind law.
The denial will cost the Golden State tens of millions of federal education dollars that could be used by the state's public education system, particularly to better educate youngsters trapped in the state's worst-performing schools.
But the fault lies not with the feds, but with California's education establishment, which has given the California Teachers Association, arguably the state's most powerful public employee union, veto power over state education policy.
Indeed, some 33 states (and the District of Columbia) have managed to win waivers from the federal Education Department, simply by agreeing to a list of measures designed to make public schools more accountable to parents and their children.
California was denied – one of only two states to suffer that ignominy – because it was unwilling to evaluate teachers based, in part, on how their students fare on standardized tests. The CTA was adamantly opposed to such evaluations.
The aim of No Child Left Behind is to encourage school districts throughout the country to increase the percentage of students in their charge that test "proficient" in English and math.
Under the law, schools that fall short of national targets for student proficiency in English and math must offer parents the option of transferring their children to other schools within the district. They also must provide money for tutoring, transportation and teacher training.
If California finds the requirements of No Child Left Behind onerous, the state can go its own way, minus millions of federal education dollars. Or, it can get with the program and put in place the accountability measures prescribed by the federal law.
StudentsFirst, a grass-roots organization headed by Michelle Rhee, who established herself as an education reformer during her tenure as Washington, D.C., public schools chancellor, doesn't think the Education Department asks too much of California.
Because, stated spokesperson Erin Shaw, "legislators and defenders of the status quo" here in the Golden State, "refuse to create the appropriate learning environment so that every kid is given a chance to succeed."
We suspect that parents of California students attending schools the state itself identifies as failing would be inclined to agree with StudentsFirst. We also suspect many of the state's teachers, most of whom are conscientious educators, would secretly agree as well.

POMONA – The Salvation Army of Pomona is in desperate need of toys for its Christmas toy distribution this week.
The agency has requests for toys for about 900 children but so far as collected only enough for about 500. The agency has assembled enough food boxes for all the families but are well short of toys.
The Salvation Army worked with the Tots for Tots organization, which gave it two locations to pick up additional donated toys.
However, through a miscommunication, those extra toys were not available at the locations, causing the crisis for the agency.
Salvation Army of Pomona is at 490 E. La Verne Ave.

Here's an interesting concept I found over on the Synthtopia blog. You know time lapse photography? Well what about time lapse audio recordings? phonoLapse is Mac or PC software that let's create such recordings. What do you think?
"phonoLapse is a free desktop app for Mac and Windows that lets you create audio time-lapses. For the 2010 Enterferenze New Art Festival I put together a little Time Lapse Phonography piece that followed me over the course of 24 hours. I have been receiving emails from people wanting to create their own, and decided to work on a standalone version so you too can create some time-lapse phonography" – soundplusdesign.com

Worksite Health
How Do Wellness Programs Pay Off?
I run a small business (30 employees) and am looking for ways to reduce the amount of claims paid by our insurance. I`ve read that changes in costs follow changes in risks.
What does this actually mean and how might that affect my bottom line? What are the next steps I should take to reduce my costs for a business as small as mine?
The concept of "changes in costs follow changes in risks" refers to the reduction in health care costs when health risks are lowered. Stated in a different way, one way to reduce the amount of claims paid by your insurance is to improve the health of your employees so that they incur less health care expense. For example, lowering cardiovascular risk by encouraging an employee to engage in regular physical activity and by improving their daily nutrition intake will result in improved cardiovascular health and lower related costs for health issues such as hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, and other health problems. Providing ways for your employees to improve their health should result in lower health care costs for them now and in the future. Research has indicated that keeping people healthy will maintain lower health care costs. Also, moving people from a higher health risk level to a lower one, by encouraging them to engage in healthy living habits, will reduce potential future health care expenses.
If you are interested in learning more about how to start this type of effort for your company, you might initiate conversation with your insurance carrier or third party administrator to learn about any related programs that they have available. You may be interested in learning more about this area by accessing the University of Michigan Health Management Research Center at http://www.hmrc.umich.edu/. The "Publications & Research" section might be most helpful in the beginning. Other sites to investigate include the Wellness Councils of America website, www.welcoa.org. Clicking on the "Well Workplace" link at the bottom of the page will provide you with more information to read. The section titled "Seven Benchmarks of Success" would be good for you to read first.
Once you have learned more about this area and determined that you are interested in becoming actively engaged in this process for your company, you might be interested in speaking with a variety of consultants who could provide assistance. These consultants might include: your insurance carrier (if they provide such services), your local Healthy Business Counsel or Health Action Counsel (if you live in the state of Ohio, or a vendor providing such services (University of Michigan Health Management Research Center, WellCorp, and others). Finally, you might also investigate whether or not there are any other businesses in your geographic vicinity that are focusing on improving employee health and ask them about the process that they have implemented.
Examining the type of insurance plans that you offer is another route to follow since you are interested in reducing paid health care claims. A variety of innovative programs have been implemented at other companies that may help yours. Some companies are providing more preventive health care coverage as a way to support their employees' health. Others are providing incentives in the form of reductions in health insurance premiums for those that engage in certain healthy habits. Finally, some are experimenting with Consumer-Directed Healthcare Plans(CDHPs) to control healthcare expenses. CDHPs include a health savings account and a high deductible health plan for covered individuals and are a newer insurance option. Your insurance carrier or third party administrator can provide more details on this type of plan.
