on Teaching
for Teaching
following student comments on the sociology department's program, courses,
curriculum, and teaching were taken from the graduating senior survey
(1998-99) and the alumni survey (1998).
from Graduating Seniors:
Question: What was one memorable learning experience you had in sociology?
"Creating and implementing an original research project."
"Discovering how fascinating sociology theory can be and how many different theories there are."
"Doing research in sociology 102A and 102B with Professor Macintosh."
"Having an instructor really take the time to explain a concept that was difficult for me to grasp."
"Learning that the family is not a separate institution but is influenced by religion, education, the economy, and government."
"Learning to evaluate things which I see and read that I took completely for granted prior to my sociology experience."
"I learned a great deal with Professors Varano and Liu and through researching my topic for my senior project."
"I learned a lot from Professor Varano; he knows his stuff and enjoys students and teaching very much."
"Much of the class discussion in sociology 125 was very interesting and insightful."
"I learned a lot about participant observation and applied it when Chancellor Reed was on campus. It allowed me to apply much of what I learned in many ways."
"Professor Rendon' term paper project in Chicano community."
"I gained a lot of confidence from taking Professor Macintosh's course (102A and 102B). I learned that my study was valuable and could be published if I added more to it."
"I learned a lot from writing a personal analysis of the social class I am from for Sociology 125. There was a lot of intellectual growth in that class."
Question: What is one major strength of the sociology program?
"Professors such as Rendon, Varano, and Tumminia."
"Professors that enjoy teaching the subjects, like Professors Varano and Kloss."
"Some excellent professors, like Professor Gardner and Varano."
"The advisor, Professor Landis--I was always able t get a hold of him."
"The diversity of students in sociology classes and the willingness on the part of teachers to work with them."
"The instructors' interest in students as individuals, not just bodies filling seats in the classroom."
"The new professors are excited to teach and bring their experiences to class."
"The professors are great this semester. I wish I would have had the inspiration I have now years ago."
"The quality and vigor of some of the upper division core courses, especially sociology 125 and 193."
"The small size of some of the classes allows for an intimate atmosphere where I could get to know my professors as well as other sociology students."
"The department's theory courses, they are very interesting."
Question: Please describe how you have grown intellectually since becoming a sociology major
"Analyzing and critiquing social events from various perspectives."
"Being a sociology major has given me the opportunity to question things in my environment and to apply a sociological perspective to these events."
"Critical analysis of our social world."
"Critical thinking about the diversity of individual's positions in society."
"I am much more aware of various social conditions in America."
"I believe it has allowed me to fine-tune my research skills and focus on topics in order to give a more well rounded analysis of them."
"I can work away knowing I am capable of communicating with my skills in writing as well as verbally. Thanks to the challenge this department has given me."
"I have become more aware of racial, class, and sex differences in American society. I have seen the "layers" that exists, all of which I had no idea existed before."
"I have become much better at research and more skeptical of statistics."
"I have gained a broad, through understanding of society and my relation to it."
"I have learned how to critically analyze data and graphs."
"I have learned how to read data and theories and not just believe what they say, but to understand how they affect my life. I've learned to take pretty much everything with a grain of salt."
"I have learned how to look at things from different points of view sociologically."
"I can totally argue the point of how everything in society is connected. How most of our social ills are not isolated but connected to everything else, especially class and inequality."
"I understand people of all races a little better."
"My understanding of different sociological theories and their approaches."
"The way I view current social issues. I am much more critical and less pulled in by hype."
"I now see certain issues in a new light, a new way that I never saw before."
Comments from Alumni 1998:
"I would major in sociology again, especially at CSUS. I felt the curriculum was intense, informative, and challenging. The faculty was outstanding."
"Sociology was an adequate undergraduate degree for my confutation into law school. My overall experience in the sociology department was average. There was not a lot of innovative and exciting teaching that was happening when I was there."
"I would major in sociology again because at the time it was what I thought I wanted to pursue a career in. It was overall a great learning experience. Faculty were very supportive and available. The curriculum was very good educationally."
"I probably would major in sociology again because I really enjoyed most of the classes required for the major."
"The sociology program offers its students a broad look at our society. It also makes one take a hard look at oneself to examine our own biases. I would definitely major in sociology again and if I could. I would appreciate the degree so much more now."
"I enjoyed pursuing my soc major, but I quickly found out after the fact that here wasnt a lot of money in it. I would do it again if there were more classes dealing with the professional world, more specifically how to deal with the maze of upper management."
"I would major in sociology again because of the diverse options in the BA program However, I felt the methods and research courses were extremely stressful and difficult and not related to my career plans."
"I would major in sociology again as it proved to be an ideal foundation for the MSW program."
"I would major in sociology again because I liked the faculty and courses. But I would not major in sociology again because it did not lead me into a career in that field."
"I feel I would not major in sociology again because I felt I made the wrong decision in choosing a major."
"The course options were extremely limited. Most students work, which greatly limits the availability of desired courses. The majority of the courses outside of the core were selected on the basis of my work schedule."
"I would major in sociology again because there are so many aspects of the field I have yet to learn."
"I would have gotten my MA in sociology if there had been a concentration in labor relations. Instead I am going to get my MA in business."
"The overall academic experience was great. The teachers were responsive and many in the soc department were passionate and helpful. But there are few jobs directly related to sociology."
"I dont think it matters what one majors in unless one is seeking employment in a specialized area. All employers look for the ability to learn, the ability to communicate, and complete something, and to work with diverse groups of people. In that sense I would probably major in sociology again."
"I am glad that I majored in sociology because it really opened my eyes to society. It has made me a much more open-minded person. It has been difficult to qualify for many jobs that I have been interested in, however."
"I would major in sociology again for several reasons. First, sociology provided me with the necessary tools to grow and develop new insights into the world around me. Second, it fueled my passion for learning and inspired me to want to teach. Third, the soc program at CSUS developed my writing and speaking skills necessary to effectively communicate in everyday life."
"I would major in sociology again, because after 10 years in the job market, I have survived, and now I have a wonderful job working with a community based program on service learning that utilizes my education."

Funny Money, by Laurence Gough, McClelland & Stewart, 257 pages, $32.99
It seems a long time since the last novel from Laurence Gough featuring Jack Willows and Claire Parker. Gough keeps his long-running series fresh by introducing new characters while keeping the old ones solid. Here, Chantal is a reluctant prostitute trying to escape an abusive pimp. To earn a little extra cash, she turns a trick for a pair of thugs on their way to pay off Russian mafiya goons with counterfeit cash belonging to a local crime lord. The thugs pay Chantal with fakes, and soon she is on the run. There's plenty of action, including snippets from the Parker-Willows home scene with grown-up kids setting Claire's biological clock in motion. Very satisfying. The Switch, by Sandra Brown, Warner, 469 pages, $34.95
This 14th thriller by bestselling Sandra Brown is one of her best. Its slightly hackneyed plot -- the evil religious maniac -- is forgivable because there are enough twists here for a pretzel factory. Identical twins Melina and Gillian Lloyd meet for lunch. Gillian's just been artificially inseminated; her lover is sterile, but willing to be a father. It's a happy day for her, and, despite misgivings, Melina shares it. The next day, Melina awakes to the news that her twin is murdered. At the scene, she realizes that she, not Gillian, was the target, beginning her hunt for a murderer and a motive. Dead and Gone, by Andrew Vachss, Knopf, 334 pages, $38
Andrew Vachss packs his books with so much grit, perversity and evil that revenge seems essential. Dead and Gone is a Burke novel, starring that nightcrawler of New York and places west. Burke is hired to carry the payoff for a kidnapped child. The kid isn't there, and Burke ends up with a dead partner and a body full of bullets. After he gets out of hospital -- suffering bloody hallucinations -- he heads after the men who shot him. If you like guts and gore, this will keep you reading to the very last sentence.Report Typo/Error

ATLANTA -- It's official, the Chick-fil-A Bowl is once again the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
Chick-fil-A is the first of the new College Football Playoff bowl sponsors to announce its new agreement with ESPN.
Representatives from Peach Bowl, Inc., Chick-fil-A, ESPN, the College Football Playoff and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed gathered Monday to reveal the new name and logo associated with the Bowl's elevation into the new College Football Playoff and announce Chick-fil-A's enhanced title sponsorship agreement.
The name change and new logo come as a direct result of the Bowl's inclusion in the College Football Playoff where the use of a traditional moniker is required for the six top-tier bowls that will host the playoffs.
"We haven't even broken ground on this stadium yet, and we're already seeing an immediate impact on our position to attract premier events like the College Football Playoff," Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said. "Our $11 billion hospitality industry is getting ready to grow again. It's an exciting time to lead our city, and I'm confident the best is yet to come."
"This is a remarkable day in our history when we can all come together as partners to celebrate these milestones," said Gary Stokan, Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl president and CEO. "This not only represents the beginning of our new era in the College Football Playoff, but a reconnection to our history and tradition by bringing the peach back into our name.Chick-fil-A's agreement with ESPN and the Bowl allows us to continue a 17-year relationship regarded as one of the most successful in the industry."
"Chick-fil-A has had the privilege of playing a role in the Bowl's growth over the last 17 years, helping raise the profile of the game," said Steve Robinson, Chick-fil-A executive vice president and chief marketing officer. "We now look forward to helping the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl elevate to a national stage."
Beginning this season, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl will join the Cotton, Fiesta, Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls in making up the group of six bowls that will host the new College Football Playoff.
This marks a return to the name the Bowl used for nine years from 1997-2005. Since 2006, the Bowl has been called the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Prior to 1997, the game used its original name, the Peach Bowl, dating to the Bowl's inception in 1968.
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl is set to host its first national Semifinal Game (#1 vs #4 or #2 vs #3) following the 2016 season and will host games in 2014 and 2015 featuring top-ranked teams as assigned by the College Football Playoff Selection Committee. The Bowl will host a Semifinal game every third year over the first six years of the College Football Playoff. The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl has already announced its intent to lead the bid for, and help win the rights to host, the National Championship Game following the 2017 season, coinciding with the opening of the Falcons' new Atlanta stadium.v

CDHPs Doomed Without Physician Support
Reaching out and engaging members of consumer-driven health plans (CDHPs) may help slightly, but if health insurers really want to make a dent on costs and quality they need to reach out to providers.
Case in point: A recent study called Are Primary Care Physicians Ready to Practice in a Consumer-Driven Environment? showed that most primary care physicians don't understand CDHPs and medical savings accounts, can't advise patients financially about procedures outside of their practices, and don't trust quality-of-care information on health insurers' Web sites.
"I think it's an open question about what role the doctors should play in these plans," says Craig Evan Pollack, MD, MHS, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation clinical scholar at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and co-author of the study.
Less than half of 528 physicians surveyed said they are ready to discuss medical budgets with patients. About four out of 10 surveyed said they had "low knowledge of CDHP cost sharing" and about one-third said they had "low knowledge of how medical savings accounts function."
The survey also found that physicians are comfortable advising patients on the costs of office visits, medications, and laboratory tests, but they were less comfortable educating patients about the financial impacts of procedures outside of their practices, including specialist visits and hospitalizations.
In another sobering finding, less than one in 10 physicians surveyed trust quality-of-care information on health insurers' Web sites. Sites that compare quality and costs are seen as an important component of CDHPs because they allow consumers to make educated decisions. Without doctors' support though, health plans can't expect these sites to become part of point-of-care discussions between physicians and patients.
These findings should concern health plan leaders. Here's why:
Patients trust their doctors more than health plans and employers. Payers can promote the cost-effectiveness, choice, and quality of CDHPs, but consumer-driven plans are doomed if the most important player in healthcare (the doctor) is not an active participant.
Point-of-care decision-making is a key component to containing costs and choosing the most cost-effective care. If a doctor is not ready to advise a patient about care and cost options, health plans can't expect the best options are being chosen.
"I think the transparency of price information is something that I know insurers are actively working on and I think it's going to be increasingly important under these plans to have that information at the point of service," says Pollack.
Sander Domaszewicz, principal at Mercer in Newport Beach, CA, says physicians delivering the message of healthcare finances holds promise. For instance, physicians can recommend less costly alternatives, such as x-rays rather than MRIs when appropriate. Without physician participation, health plans can expect only marginal cost reductions, says Domaszewicz.
Part of the problem is that physicians are already swamped. If given the choice between whether to stay abreast on medicine or financial planning, the doctor is going to choose the former every time. Plus, for doctors who want to understand their patients' health plan options, there are simply too many plans to keep track.
What's a doc to do?
There are technological solutions, including point-of-care kiosks that provide information about patient out-of-pocket costs. A recent white paper published by Fifth Third Bank in Cincinnati listed two products that physicians believe will help:
A price calculator that predicts expected health plan reimbursement and subtracts that amount from the expected total billed amount and then estimates the patient's payment responsibility. The calculation also factors in copays and deductibles to estimate the patients' total financial responsibility.
Tools that forecast a patient's propensity to pay their bill, such as building it on a credit score or key elements of credit reports.
Meanwhile, the researchers in Pollack's study suggested health plans and employers educate physicians about deductibles, cost sharing, and medical savings accounts.
Those suggestions coupled with the Fifth Third Bank white paper's wish list are steps in the right direction. There is mistrust on both sides, but if health plans expect CDHPs to succeed they need physicians onboard. That goes beyond a quarterly newsletter about healthcare finances and a greater emphasis on continuous education and technology solutions.
Getting the physicians involved is the only way CDHPs will ultimately live up to their potential.

What doesn't kill you make you stronger.
Healthy kidneys are needed to remove excess wastes, minerals and fluids from the body. Kidneys also produce hormones to help strengthen bones and cleanse the blood. When a kidney fails, it could result in a build up of wastes and excess fluids which will in turn raise the patient's blood pressure.
Kidney disease does not only affect the body of the patient but also the emotional and mental welfare of the patient. Living with advanced kidney disease can have a serious and negative impact on your quality of life.
Kidney patients often suffer from poor attentiveness, memory lapses and lethargy which limit their ability to work. Diagnosing and treating this disease is also a costly affair – patients have to fork out at least RM30,000 – 40,000 per annum on dialysis and medications alone – without the help of subsidies. On an emotional level, patients can develop a sense of indignity as they become financially and emotionally dependent on their loved ones.
The National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia's Patient Welfare Incentive Fund was set up in the year 2003 with the aim of helping NKF patients with a loan to start a small business venture or a study loan interest free.
The fund aims to help kidney patients secure an occupation which allow them to be gainfully employed and in doing so, regain their sense of confidence and self-esteem as they become self-sufficient.
V Guruparan, aged 24, was diagnosed with kidney failure after his SPM examinations. Fresh out of high school, he was forced to make immediate plans for his future. Guruparan never experience the privilege of college education or the luxury of deciding his career path. Instead, he had to worry endlessly on how his parents were going to afford his medical fees.
"It came as a shock, but we have to deal with it. It was difficult for me to get a job with my condition because I could not cope with the usual 9-5pm working hours as I would need to go for my dialysis treatments," he said.
A Rahman Amir Gani, aged 42 and Roshidi Hashim, aged 46, have also been living with kidney failure for the past few years. Rahman used to own a push cart nasi lemak stall which he needs to move about everyday.
Both men used to earn stable income to support their respective families. However, upon being diagnosed with kidney failure, they have found it difficult to muster the strength and energy needed on a daily basis because they have to go for dialysis treatment three times a week.
"It was easy to get up in the morning, but not so much throughout the day because I would feel so tired and sometimes even black-out from fatigue. I have to go for dialysis treatment three times a week and during that time I would have to take time off work as each treatment will take up four hours! This would result in me losing some of my profits because I could not have my food business open the entire day and also I would be too weak to be pushing my cart out", said En. Rahman.
On the other hand, Roshidi was a sous chef in a well known hotel. He had to give up his job because he was unable to attend to work on a regular basis.
Kidney disease is avertable
It may seem all doom and gloom but with the Patient Welfare Incentive Fund, patients are able to get a good start at making their own business with the interest free loan.
Having received the Patient Welfare Incentive Fund, Rahman, Roshidi and Guruparan now have their own business.
Rahman has his nasi lemak stall in a permanent location so he need not have to roll out his stall everyday, while Roshidi operates a small café serving Thai cuisine and Guruparan runs his own catering business serving authentic Indian food with his family.
"I'm really thankful for the help NKF has provided me with. At least with my own business now, I won't have to worry so much about how I'm going to look for the money I need for my treatments. The burden on my parents have also been eased a little more," said Guruparan.
According to Chua Hong Wee, CEO of NKF, there are over 24,000 kidney patients in Malaysia with an increase of 4,000 more patients yearly.
Data from the Renal Registry shows that 5% – 8% of the dialysis patients are able to work but are unable to secure jobs due to their conditions leading to a faction of wasted resources. Not to mention, the psychological impact resulting from the feeling of being rejected by society and sometimes even the family.
Associations such as the National Kidney Foundation play a vital role in easing the burden of kidney patients. They provide the facilities, treatments and services made possible through funds raised with the public and organisation.
Each year, expenses totaling about RM40 million is used to help more than 1,450 patients at their 25 dialysis centres nationwide.
Out of all the health issues that can affect the public, kidney disease is avertable. For early detection and prevention; get a health screening, for this simple act might just save your life.

text: Hi, I have a sim free Hero on 3UK that I recently upgraded to 2.1. Since doing so, I have noticed that the data turns itself on every so often. I normally use the htc widget to turn on/off the mobile data as I don't use it while at work/at home. Occaisionally, I notice that it is switched on and when I try to switch it back off, it restarts itself. I've noticed this on quite a few days now over the last couple of weeks and once it starts doing it, I can't stop it! I can only think it is down to either some app that I have installed or the synch settings, but I have checked for running processes and killed anything that looks like one of my apps. I have also disabled: Settings>about phone>system software updates>Scheduled check Settings>Synch settings>Background data Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile networks>Enable always-on mobile data I would like any apps just to use data if I switch it on and am unsure what the best settings are for the above. I don't really know what else to do to stop it. Has anyone got any ideas? Cheers

I have some free time coming up and I want to make a quilt for my mom. She has had cancer for some time and just found out she also has a brain tumor. I would like to send her some comfort and quilting is the best thing I can come up with. Any suggestions for blocks or patterns?
My mom and I have never been close, not by my choosing, so this is hard for me.
Thanks for all suggestions.

Each issue, Claims CE provides several continuing education-based questions designed to test claim professionals on their knowledge of a particular topic. This is in an effort to help educate and inform adjusters and supervisors on appropriate claim-handling techniques. For this edition, we take a look at the Homeowners 3--Special Form (HO 00 03 10 00).
The question-and-answer format is meant to be general in nature and does not necessarily account for the differences in law and practice in different venues. The authors of this question-answer column are not attorneys; content should not be construed as legal advice for the unique circumstances of any particular claim.
Question #1: The Decomposing Body
The named insured, an elderly gentleman, died of natural causes while sleeping at his home. His body was not discovered until one week postmortem, when a neighbor came to check on him. Because the neighbor did not have a key and was concerned about the insured's safety, he broke a window in the front door in order to gain entrance. In addition to this pane in the door, damage was sustained to both contents and personal property as a result of the body's decomposition. Is the restoration and/or replacement of dwelling and personal property covered under the Homeowners 3--Special Form (HO 00 03 10 00)?
a. Coverage is available for all claimed damage to both the dwelling and personal property.
b. Coverage is available for damage to the dwelling as a result of both the neighbor's actions and the decomposition of human remains. However, there is no coverage for damage to the personal property.
c. Coverage is available for the dwelling for damages resulting from the neighbor's actions only.
d. No coverage is available for this loss.

Answer and explanation
The best answer is "b," coverage is available for damage to the dwelling as a result of both the neighbor's actions and the decomposition of human remains. However, there is no coverage for damage to the personal property.
The HO 00 03 10 00 policy provides coverage on an open-perils basis for Coverage A - Dwelling. With no exclusion applicable, the damage done by the neighbor is covered under the policy. Although the policy excludes "discharge, dispersion, seepage, migration, release, or escape of pollutants unless caused by a peril insured against named under Coverage C," policy verbiage appears to refer specifically to man-made pollutants or contaminants.
The definition of pollutants is specified in the form as follows: "Pollutants means any solid, liquid, gaseous, or thermal irritant or contaminant, including smoke, vapor, soot, fumes, acids, alkalis, chemicals, and waste. Waste includes materials to be recycled, reconditioned, or reclaimed." Especially because courts tend to interpret exclusionary language very narrowly, it is likely that the damage to the dwelling resulting from the decomposition of the human remains would be covered.
Unlike Coverage A, Coverage C - Personal Property is provided on a named-peril basis. Coverage C has no specific language providing coverage for this type of loss; therefore, the claim for damage to personal property resulting from the body's decomposition would likely not be covered.

Question #2: The Stolen Boat
The insured owns a 12-foot fishing boat that is powered by an electric motor attached to its transom. After hearing from a friend that the fish are biting at a local lake, she hooks up her trailer and heads for the nearest boat ramp. After launching the boat and carefully tying it to the dock, the insured takes her fishing poles and tackle box from her truck and places them in the boat along with a set of oars and the battery that she uses to power the motor. She then leaves the parking lot briefly to pick up some extra supplies for her day out on the water.
When she returns to the boat, the insured finds that her fishing poles, tackle box, electric motor, battery, and oars have all been stolen. Is the insured's loss covered under the Homeowners 3--Special Form (HO 03 10 00)?
a. Coverage is available for all stolen items under Coverage C, but is limited to $1,500.
b. Coverage is available for the fishing poles and tackle box only, subject to a sublimit of $1,500.
c. Coverage is available for the fishing poles and tackle box with no applicable sublimit.
d. No coverage is available for any of the stolen items because the theft occurred away from the residence premises.
Click to the next page for the answer and explanation!
The best answer is "c," coverage is available for the fishing poles and tackle box with no applicable sublimit.
While the HO 00 03 10 00 policy form does not provide coverage for theft away from the residence premises for "watercraft of all types, and their furnishings, equipment, and outboard engines or motors," the use of the word "their" in the policy language specifically connects the furnishings, equipment, and outboard engines or motors to the watercraft that is the subject of the exclusion. Since the fishing poles and tackle box have no fixed connection to the boat and could easily be used elsewhere (on another boat, from the shore, on a dock, etc.), the watercraft theft exclusion probably should not be applied to these items.
However, the exclusion would appropriately apply to the oars that fit this specific boat, the battery that powers the motor, and the boat's motor itself. Because HO 00 03 10 00's verbiage that limits watercraft coverage to $1,500 is identical to the exclusionary language for off-premises theft, the $1,500 sublimit would likely not apply to the fishing pole and tackle box.

Question #3: The Underground Rusted Pipe
The insured has a water supply line that travels underground from the meter box at the street, through the concrete block foundation of the insured's dwelling, and into the interior of the home. The insured has noticed that an area of earth beside the driveway remains saturated with water for several days. A plumber comes out to excavate a section of the driveway and finds a leak in the supply line where rust had deteriorated the pipe resulting in a perforation. There is no damage to the dwelling itself.
The insured presents a claim for the excavation work, the replacement of soil/fill under the driveway, the plumber's work for fixing the pipe, the bill for repaving the damaged section of the driveway, and the cost of the metered water lost as a result of the leak. Is there coverage under the Homeowners 3--Special Form (HO 00 03 10 00) for the insured's claim?
a. There is no coverage for the loss.
b. There is coverage only for the cost to repair the damage to the driveway.
c. There is coverage for the insured's entire claim except for the plumbing work on the pipe itself.
d. There is coverage for the insured's entire loss as claimed.
Click to the next page for the answer and explanation!
The best answer is "a," there is no coverage for the loss.
Earlier editions of the HO 00 03 policy did not mention "water" as property not covered. Under those earlier policies, it is possible that the entire claim would be covered with the exception of the cost to repair the leaking pipe itself. Coverage applied because there was covered property (i.e., the water itself) that was lost or damaged from the peril of accidental discharge.
Under the 10 00 edition, however, the HO 00 03 now lists "water or steam" as property not covered. Furthermore, in this case there is no covered peril for damage to the pipe. Although the policy does provide coverage for the peril of accidental discharge of water (including the cost to tear out and replace any part of a building, or other structure, on the "residence premises" when necessary to repair the system), it goes on to state that "such tear out and replacement coverage only applies to other structures if the water or steam causes actual damage to a building on the 'residence premises.'" Since in this claim, damage was limited to the driveway, no coverage exists.

Question #4: The Frozen Pipe
The insured owns a vacation home insured under a Homeowners 3--Special Form (HO 00 03 10 00). While the insured is away, a strong winter storm moves through the area, causing temperatures to fall below freezing for several days. As a result of the unusually cold temperatures, water in the copper supply lines in the basement ceiling freezes and causes the pipes to split. When the temperatures begin to rise again, the ice melts and water leaks from the damaged pipes into the interior of the home, causing damage to both the dwelling and to personal property.
In order to determine coverage for the loss to the dwelling and personal property, what important questions must be adequately answered?
a. Did the policyholder ensure that heat was maintained in the building?
b. Was the water supply to the home turned off and drained?
c. Was there a power outage that occurred during the storm?
d. All of the above.
Click to the next page for the answer and explanation!
The best answer is "d," all of the above.
The HO 00 03 10 00 policy requires that an insured uses reasonable care to: "(a) Maintain heat in the building; or (b) Shut off the water supply and drain all systems and appliances of water."
With claims resulting from damage to frozen pipes, it is important to complete a thorough investigation and coverage analysis prior to exercising an exclusion based upon the failure to use the reasonable care stipulated under the terms of the policy. If the insured maintained heat but a power outage caused the heat to fail, coverage for resultant freeze damage would still exist. If the insured had instructed a caretaker or a property manager to maintain heat in the dwelling and had a reasonable belief that those instructions would be carried out, there would likely be coverage -- as well as some subrogation potential. Likewise, if the insured did not maintain heat but drained all of the systems (being unaware that a "flat run" of pipes still held enough water to freeze and cause damage), the duty of reasonable care would likely still have been met.

Bells Toll for 9/11
New York (AP) - the 12th anniversary of the Sept 11 attacks has started with solemn bell tolls and a moment of silence at the World Trade Center site. The moment of silence marked the time when the first plane hit the Twin Towers on a clear, sunny day in 2001. Then, families of the victims started reading aloud the names of those who died. A second bell tolled to mark when the second plane hit the Twin Towers. Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Gov. George Pataki attended, as well as Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Gov. Anthony Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

I was listening to the radio on my way to the airport this morning, mainly to have some noise on to keep me awake. I was vaguely listening to some commercial about a benefit concert being held at West Lafayette High School, when a clip from the musical group was played:
"Jesus, help me see the morning light…"
Then I started paying a lot more attention.
Apparently the concert was to raise money for Haiti and for local student athletes in the Lafayette area. They would also be presenting an award to the student who was named athlete of the year.
…Am I the only person that finds this a bit inappropriate?
I think some schools have special rules where outside groups can rent their space, religious or not (correct me if I'm wrong). If this was just some outside group having a concert, it wouldn't bug me. But it seems like the public school system itself is sponsoring and organizing this. It's not just a band that happens to be Christian – they also chose to publicize it using a blatantly religious gospel soundbite.
What about the non-Christian students and student athletes? I was a student athlete – Captain of our golf team – and I would have felt extremely awkward if our award ceremony had been full of gospel music. It's simply inappropriate for a public school.
Am I overreacting? Was I just especially cranky at 6:30 in the morning? Should we not care since it's for a good cause, or should the high school had found a more appropriate, secular band?
Edit: Finally got some real Internet, and it turns out it's for Purdue students. False alarm. Thank you stupid uninformative commercial.

I bet you are thinking, "EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!" Well, you are right. So very right.
Chocolate-covered Green Olives
Pimento-filled green olives and baking bark are your ingredients. The directions get a little complicated at the end, so I'll list them here:
- Drain and dry olives.
- Melt baking bark.
- Coat olives with chocolate.
- Let set in freezer.
- Try one and make a face/cringe/spit it out.
- Share them with your friends without telling them what it is.
- Warm your cold, black heart with their facial expressions when they realize what you've just done to them.
Kids, don't try this at home. Just say "No" to chocolate-covered green olives. Only you can prevent chocolate-covered green olives. I could go on, but I'll just sum it up for you in three words: Worst. Creation. Ever.
That being said, I am so going to try black olives soon.

Snowflake Thumbprint Cookies
These cookies are part of a care package that I am sending to my old neighbor, Skip. As I have mentioned before in this post, he was the best neighbor ever, and since we moved away from Utah, we have gone to visit with him a few times. We really miss him! My son was there a few months ago, and I asked him to go see Skip. I was a little worried that he seemed out of sorts and forgetful when I spoke to him on the phone. To make a long story short, Skip has dementia, and he is now living in a care facility in east Ohio, very near his family. While I am so glad his family is watching out for him, I am so sad, because I know how much he loved his home in Utah, and his life there. Anyway, I know that Skip will be happy to get these goodies, and I hope they make him smile!

Just doing your job isn't enough these days. (Workplace superstars have always known that.)
"With the reality of a tight employment market, adding value beyond your job description is a must for everybody," says Keith Ferrazzi, author of Never Eat Alone.
He recently offered a few tips on his blog for being indispensable in your workplace:
1. Ask seemingly stupid questions. "If you ask questions that are like no other, you get results that are unlike any that the world has seen," Ferrazzi says.
2. Develop a niche. "Think of several areas where your company or department underperforms and choose to focus on the one area that is least attended to," he says.
3. Know the new technology. "You don't need to be a 'techno geek,'" he says, but you do need to understand how technology could be used to help you add value.
Ferrazzi says, "The great thing about this strategy is that you're not only creating job security. You're developing skills and expertise that will nourish your career, wherever you take it."

Florida beat South Carolina on the field this fall, and this weekend the Gators managed another victory over the Gamecocks when they wrestled away a top recruit.
Matt Rolin, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound linebacker out of Virginia, switched from South Carolina to Florida late Sunday. It was a move that had been rumored for several weeks, but Rolin didn't detach himself from the South Carolina commitment list until this weekend.
Rolin is a member of the Sporting News Top 125.
SN's top 125 prospects: 1-10 | 11-25 | 26-75 | 76-125
"Going back on my word is something I never imagined myself doing and it hurts me to do it, but in end I have do what's best for me," he wrote on his Twitter account. "I have officially committed to the University of #Florida. I will be wearing No. 9 as I continue to chase my dreams at Florida."
Rolin named South Carolina and Florida as his two favorite schools as early as May in an interview with Sporting News.
"Coaches say that they like how I'm versatile," Rolin told Sporting News. "I can play more than one position. I'm being recruited for outside linebacker, inside linebacker and tight end. They also say I play great in space and I'm explosive ... I'd say the strength of my game is my athleticism."

French lawmakers passed a measure on Thursday to make it a crime to deny that the mass killing of Armenians in 1915 by Ottoman Turks was a genocide. As a result, Turkish state television has stated that the country's ambassador to France will be withdrawn, the Associated Press reported.
The measure must still be passed in the Senate, and according to the AP, its fate there is less clear.
Turkey is a strategic ally and trading partner to France, and Ankara reacted swiftly to the measure, saying that Ambassador Tahsin Burcuoglu would be withdrawn. Turkey had warned of "grave consequences" prior to the vote Voice of America reported.
Turkey has vehemently rejected the term "genocide" for the World War I era killings. It believes that the bill, which was proposed by 40 deputies from French President Nicholas Sarkozy's party, is an overt attempt at winning the votes of the 500,000 ethnic Armenians in France during next year's election, RT reported.
France is home to the largest ethnic Armenian community in Europe.
More from GlobalPost: Turkey angry about France's genocide bill
According to Reuters, several thousand Franco-Turks demonstrated in central Paris on Thursday prior to the vote.
"I don't understand why France wants to censor my freedom of expression," Yildiz Hamza, president of the Montargis association that represents 700 Turkish families in France told Reuters outside the National Assembly. "Every five years there is this sort of debate because elections are approaching."
France officially recognized the mass killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 2001. The proposed law carries a penalty of up to one year in jail and a fine of 45,000 euro ($58,870).

Katherine Heigl: 'Seth Rogen handled feud beautifully'
The actors have no hard feelings towards each other.
Katherine Heigl is putting an end to her long feud with Seth Rogen, insisting she wishes him nothing but the best.
The actress criticised their hit 2007 film Knocked Up in a 2008 Vanity Fair article, confessing she found the plotline "a little sexist".
Seth, who also served as one of Knocked Up's executive producers, blasted Heigl for her remarks, but he recently insisted his issues with Katherine were not that serious.
"I was never that mad honestly," he told U.S. late night show Watch What Happens Live on Sunday (07Aug16). "I assumed that she didn't want to work with us anymore honestly because she seemed to not like the results of the work we did together. She did not seem entirely pleased with it afterwards.
"I think that was the root of everything, but honestly it was so long ago... I have a hard time recalling what it was about or who was supposed to be mad at who. I have no bad feelings towards her at all honestly."
Now the 37-year-old has reciprocated the good feeling, saying, "I think that he's handled that so beautifully and I just feel nothing but love and respect. It's so long ago at this point, I just wish him so much goodness and I felt that from him too."
In April (16), Katherine revisited the controversy in a radio interview with U.S. shock jock Howard Stern, during which she recalled an awkward encounter with Seth and his production partner Evan Goldberg a couple of years after the Vanity Fair article was published.
"I ran into him at a restaurant and I didn't realise it was as serious as it was," Heigl said. "I walked up like, 'Hey guys!' It was him and Evan, (I was) like, 'How are y'all?' They were very like, 'Uhh...' and I was like, 'Oh, you are really mad'. I didn't realise it was that bad!"
She also revealed she never properly apologised for her remarks.
"I did it (apologised) publicly instead, and kind of tried to say, 'Look, this was not what I meant, this was an incredible experience for me and they were incredibly good to me on this movie so I did not mean to s**t on them at all,'" she said, "but I thought about writing a note. I feel embarrassed. I don't want it to feel insincere on any level."

The Eugene Emeralds lost their baseball game Sunday afternoon, their four runs falling short of Tri-City's five. But Civic Stadium scored a shutout.Well, maybe not everyone. Despite the loving tone of the article, some random Googling indicates that the joint has seen better days. The owner -- the school board, not some greedy corporation -- doesn't want it anymore. The team doesn't wanna play there anymore. Finally, the putative replacement is being built for the University of Oregon, not specifically for the for-profit Emeralds, so the usual public/private funding battle is not currently raging. In short, beyond the handful of folks interviewed for the linked article, there isn't much to suggest that the place is high on anyone's preservation list.
In an admittedly unscientific survey of baseball fans — some slathering relish and
mustard on hot dogs or hamburgers, others religiously keeping their scorecards, and one too young to talk — no one was in favor of letting the 70-year-old ballpark go the way of the other baseball park dinosaurs.
For those who haven't been keeping score, the future of Civic Stadium, built in 1938 by the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression, is up for grabs.
There are still those who want to save Civic. Click here to join, support, or at least gawk at the cause.

- All Balkan Countries
Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik and renowned Serbian director Emir Kusturica have announced plans to build a new mini-city within the Bosnian city of Visegrad.
The new city, which will be called Andric Grad, will include some fifty mainly stone buildings and will be located at the mouth of the Drina River, the setting for the Nobel prize winning book The Bridge On the Drina by Ivo Andric.
The project must still obtain several permits before breaking ground, and it has faced resistance from some, including those who object to changes to the historical Drina Bridge site and victims of wartime atrocities in the city.
Dubravko Lovrenovic, a member of the State Commission to Preserve National Monuments, told Balkan Insight that the Commission will not react until they see the official project documentation.
"The Republika Srpska Ministry of Physical Planning will issue construction permission, and if the bridge is not directly threatened, the Commission will not react," Professor Lovrenovic said.
As they walked through Visegrad on Monday, Dodik and Kusturica, who was born in Sarajevo, said that the new mini-city would celebrate the history and culture of the Balkan nations, and be the most important undertaking of the era.
Dodik explained that he was impressed by Kusturica's boyish enthusiasm and energy for this "massive project". "I realised that I wouldn't be able to dissuade him, but I thought: he will get tired and worn out. But he didn't!" the Republika Srpska president said.
The men said that construction, which is scheduled to begin in June, would take four years to complete and would cost between KM 20 and 25 million (some €10-12 million).
Kusturica called the Andric Grad project "the biggest, most spectacular project of my life". He said that the new mini-city would feature stone streets, gates and towers, and would include a cinema and theatre, marina, gymnasium, craft workshops, hotels, sports facilities, the "Visegrad twin towers" (a new building for the Visegrad municipality), galleries and churches, and a reconstructed stone han.
He is expected to use "Andric Grad" in his planned movies Pancho Villa and The Bridge on the Drina.
The filmmaker previously built an ethno-village in Serbia, near Mokra Gora, called Drvengrad.
Dodik and Kusturica explained that Andric Grad will be built as part of a public-private partnership. Kusturica will be the largest financial contributor to the project, while the government of Republika Srpska will provide part of the funding. The city of Visegrad will provide the location and infrastructure, and Elektroprivreda the power supply.
Several Balkan countries say they detected nuclear pollution in their atmosphere in September and October – but have reassured concerned citizens that it is not dangerous.
A new movie about Moldova's history, produced under Socialists auspices, has angered pro-EU politicians and historians by playing down links to Romania and, they say, taking Russia's line.
Investigations may be hanging over two local party leaders – but that prospect does not seem to threaten their years-long grip on power in the seaside town of Ulcinj.

A cruise ship that vanished more than three weeks ago has been spotted drifting towards the coast of Ireland.
The Russian-owned M/V Lyubov Orlova was being towed to a scrapyard in the Dominican Republic when the cord snapped in high winds.
Canadian salvage teams attempted to capture the disused vessel, but once it entered international waters, the operation was abandoned.
Since then, the Orlova has been floating aimlessly across the Northern Atlantic and is now believed to be within 1,200 nautical miles of Galway on the north west Irish coast.
Canadian news services report that the liner was seized in St John's, Newfoundland, in 2010 because its owners were $250,000 in debt. It then fell into disrepair and was then sold for scrap.
Its current owner, Reza Shoeybi, told CBC News that he was attempting to retrieve the vessel from the North Atlantic with the help of Irish salvage companies. However, bad weather has hampered efforts.
A report in Canadian news service The National Post says that the Irish Coast Guard is examining satellite imagery to ensure the ship can be retrieved before it breaks apart or drifts into shipping lanes.

The brutal Schenectady winter causes many club sports to shut down or to keep an eye on the weather when planning their activities.
Most of us, huddled inside with our textbooks, dream of spring term and of once again escaping work by playing frisbee with friends or kicking around a soccer ball.
But one club, no matter the weather, keeps on with its regular activities, rain or snow or shine.
Now in its fifth year, the Union College Equestrian Club brings together those passionate about horses, horseback riding, and intercollegiate equestrian showing in an atmosphere that welcomes both those who have never ridden a horse and those who have ridden for their entire lives.
Portia Taylor '19 described the club as "a relaxing escape for me during this past fall term" that makes "Union feel a little more like home."
Indeed, Rachel Mcdermott '17 expressed that "having the structure of the equestrian team and, most importantly, the people on the team who understand the equestrian world, has been so important for me in terms of school as well as for maintaining lower stress levels."
At the moment, the Club has nearly twenty members and twelve regular riders. Every week, these riders make the trip out to Winter Glen Farm – just fifteen minutes out of Union – to saddle up and enter the euphoria of riding for a few hours.
Apart from experiencing the pure pleasure of riding, the riders hone their technique under the instruction of Peggy Aedjian. Coach Peggy has been riding for nearly fifty years and has earned acclaim twice as the "Horsewoman of the Year," according to her biography page.
Riders of any skill level are encouraged to go to lessons and to support the team at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association events that they attend.
Union riders compete at these shows against nearby rivals such as SUNY Albany, SUNY Cobleskill, Colgate University, Hartwick College, Skidmore College, Morrisville State College, Oneonta State College, Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute, Siena College, and Keuka College.
Each rider interested in competing is assigned a class based on their answers to a skill level questionnaire. The classes include open, intermediate, and novice, involving skills such as jumping and walk-trot-canter.
On the day of the show, the Union team arrives at about 8:30 a.m. to register for classes and to get their horse assignments.
To even the playing field between teams, each rider is randomly assigned a horse, and is not allowed to ride that horse until the competition begins.
There are three main judging criteria by which riders are awarded points. First is equitation, which is the most important category.
Equitation describes how the rider positions himself or herself on the horse and how well the lines of his or her body are aligned with that of their horse. Second, the rider must maintain the correct diagonal.
"Diagonal" refers to the correct rhythm of the rider's body with that of the horse's footfalls. Lastly, a rider must maintain the appropriate lead by keeping the horse stepping forward with the correct foot based on the direction around the ring.
If a rider performs well enough during enough shows throughout the term, he or she can "point out" of his or her class.
"Pointing out" qualifies a rider to compete at the IHSA Regional Show. Only the best of each class can compete for the chance to advance to the State competition. Last year, Union sent riders to Regionals for the very first time.
Sierra Goodfellow, '17, president of the Equestrian Club, observed "the club became tenfold stronger when many members of the class of 2019 joined."
Based on their growing size, she and co-president Emily Jannery '17 consider making Equestrian Club a sport at Union. While they haven't spoken to the athletic department yet, Goodfellow commented, "we believe that if club continues to increase in membership it should be a sport."
She mentioned that they regularly compete against Division Three equestrian teams from other colleges, and that becoming a sport would attract more serious riders looking for a college with a recognized equestrian team.
While the riding and the showing are very important to the Equestrian Club, members also enjoy organizing on-campus events with the theme of equestrian awareness.
Each year the club holds a bake sale to raise money for Peaceful Acres, which rescues horses from the slaughterhouse.
The Equestrian Club has also previously invited Nanette Foster of Autumn Run Stables to come speak to Union students and faculty about equine therapy and its successes with mentally and physically disabled children.
Other speakers have come, courtesy of the Equestrian Club, to raise awareness concerning the abuse of racehorses.
On the lighter side, the Equestrian club most enjoys bringing their love of horses to the campus community through the very popular trail rides in the Adirondacks and visits to the Saratoga Horse Show.
For more information, look for fliers around campus or contact the presidents of the Equestrian club at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The present invention relates to a bearing support for a preferably height-adjustable headrest in a vehicle, especially in a motor vehicle, which is pivotal within certain limits after overcoming a constantly effective friction force.
With such headrests, the constantly effective friction force is transmitted by contact or abutment members such as cones or brake jaws and the friction moment itself is produced by the feed movement of a threaded connection. This operation becomes frequently time-consuming since the adjusting members have to be arranged covered-off for the protection against injuries. Additionally, it frequently also happens after a longer use of the headrest that the originally adjusted friction force has been reduced to such an extent that the headrest will adjust itself without external assist. In that case, a repair shop has to be looked up in most cases because of the lack of suitable tools for the new adjustment of the headrest.
It is the aim of the present invention to simplify the pivot mechanism of a headrest by a corresponding construction of its bearing support in such a manner that an expensive and time-consuming adjustment of the friction force can be dispensed with. Additionally, a noticeable reduction of the original friction force is to be prevented even after a long use of the headrest.
Accordingly, a bearing support for a headrest in a vehicle, especially in a motor vehicle, preferably for a headrest adjustable in height, which is pivotal within certain limits after overcoming a constantly effective friction force, is proposed, whereby according to the present invention at least one bearing socket rigidly connected with the lower area of the headrest body is provided, which has an essentially triangularly shaped cross section and receives a preferably cylindrical bearing bolt which can be pressed by a wall of the bearing socket that is under an elastic prestress, against the remaining walls thereof.
A construction which is simple from a manufacturing point of view will result if the two walls that are not subjected to prestress, extend over a part or over the entire width of the headrest body.
In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bearing bolt is connected with at least one headrest support rod by an angularly bent portion whereby at least the angularly bent portion can be brought into abutment in the course of the pivot operation against the walls of the bearing socket which are not under prestress. An effective fixing of the end positions is possible thereby in a simple manner.
According to a further feature of the present invention, abutments or stops project from one of the walls which are not under prestress, which prevent an excessive movement or migration of the bearing bolt within the bearing socket.
Appropriately, the abutments have such a rigidity in the impact direction that in case of a head impact, the prestress force of the bearing socket wall changes only insignificantly.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bearing support for pivotal headrests of the aforementioned type which avoids by simple means the shortcomings and drawbacks encountered in the prior art.
Another object of the present invention resides in a bearing support of a headrest pivotal within certain limits which avoids the need for timeconsuming adjusting operations and also precludes a significant reduction in the originally adjusted friction force, even after long use of the headrest.
A further object of the present invention resides in a headrest support of the type described above which is simple in construction and in manufacture, yet permits an effective determination of the end positions of the headrest by simple means.
Still another object of the present invention resides in a headrest support which prevents an excessive movement of the bearing bolt within the bearing socket.
Another object of the present invention resides in a bearing support for a headrest in which the prestress force of the bearing socket wall changes only insignificantly in case of an impact by the head of a vehicle passenger.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing which shows, for purposes of illustration only, several embodiments in accordance with the present invention, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a somewhat schematic elevational view of a single bearing support of an approximately U-shaped bent headrest support rod in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a somewhat schematic elevational view of a double bearing support of an approximately U-shaped bent headrest support rod in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a somewhat schematic elevational view of a still further modified embodiment of a headrest support in accordance with the present invention, illustrating the bearing support possibility of the angularly bent ends of two headrest support rods extending adjacent one another; and
FIGS. 4 and 5 are right side elevational views, partly in cross section, of the headrest supports of FIGS. 1 to 3, in the upright and folded-off position of the headrest, respectively.
Referring now to the drawing wherein like reference numerals are used throughout the various views to designate like parts, the headrest support body 1 of a headrest which is illustrated without padding, includes within its lower area generally designated by reference numeral 2, at least one bearing socket generally designated by reference numeral 3, in which is embedded a bearing bolt 4 of an associated headrest support rod 5. Each bearing socket 3 has an essentially triangular cross section--as can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5--whereby two rigid walls 6 and 7, which preferably extend over the entire width of the headrest body 1, are provided within the area of the bearing socket 3 with a bent-off edge portion 8 for the support of a wall 9 which is subjected to an elastic or springy prestress. This wall 9 may consist of a flat spring steel of conventional type, by means of which the bearing bolt 4 is pressed with the predetermined stress against the two walls 6 and 7.
If this constantly effective friction force is overcome by an external force influence, then the headrest and together with the same the headrest support body 1 may be pivoted within the range of the two end positions illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5. The securing of the end positions is achieved in that an angularly bent portion 10 which connects the bearing bolt 4 with the headrest support rod 5, abuts alternately at one of the walls 6 and 7.
Abutments or stops 11 which project from the wall 7 and are preferably bent off in the direction toward the wall 6, whose arrangement may be different depending on the position of the bearing sockets 3 and of the bearing bolts 4--as can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3--prevent an excessive lateral movement or migration of the headrest body 1. In an advantageous manner, the abutments 11 are so constructed that as a result of their support action, the elastic or springy prestress of the wall 9 is not reduced to such an extent in case of a head impact that an automatic change of the headrest adjustment can take place.
As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional height adjusting arrangement generally designated by the reference character H can be provided in a seat generally designated by the reference character S to permit selective height adjustment of the head rest support body 1 and the headrest.
While we have shown and described several embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it is understood that the same is not limited thereto but is susceptible of numerous changes and modifications as known to those skilled in the art, and we therefore do not wish to be limited to the details shown and described herein but intend to cover all such changes and modifications as are encompassed by the scope of the appended claims.
