DRB-Hicom, owners of embattled sports car maker Lotus, have reportedly turned down an offer to purchase by, wait for it… Volkswagen.
The offer did not officially come from Volkswagen, because the rumours come via a confidentially-sourced report from Manager Magazin, via Reuters, and even then, only as a derivative of speculated interest in the intermediary owner of Lotus, Malaysia's Proton.
Even if Volkswagen did make an offer, however, it's not easy to see the benefit for the automotive giant that already houses luxury, sports and supercar brands like Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini. One explanation could be Lotus Engineering, a separate division of Lotus that employs engineering boffins who live on the bleeding edge of technology, but then again VW aren't short of skills either.
Forgetting about the VW speculation for a minute though, it's important to note that DRB-Hicom did in fact decline the offer of £1 from an 'unnamed' foreign car maker to rid DRB of its Lotus problem. With around £207 million worth of debt, the lack of a permanent CEO and withdrawal from the 2012 Paris Motor Show, Lotus seem down and out at the moment and it would certainly be tempting for DRB-Hicom to cut its losses.
Instead, Mohd Kamil was bullish about DRB's future with Lotus saying, "The easy way out was to accept the offer. As a businessman, that was what I could have done to cut the loss, move on. But looking at the intrinsic value of Lotus, the knowledge, the iconic brand with global presence and positioning, coupled with unsurpassed engineering expertise, a talented workforce and its ability to cross function with Proton, we believe we have a business plan that will work for Lotus. If I sell without trying, at the end of the day, I will fail my shareholders."
So although the future of Lotus remains uncertain at this stage, some small consolation is that there seems to be a commitment to keeping the brand alive; for now at least.

Ok, I have a penchant for all things vintage and even adore the smells, textures and packaging of by-gone eras. Imagine my delight in seeing the newest from Waterworks Studio, a collection of towels, bath products and accessories worthy of their glorious namesake, inspired by pieces found in glorious late 19th and early 20th century bathrooms.
I'm particularly mad for the just launched Sculpted Subway bath towels that feature charming raised historic square tiles (available as a shower curtain too) imbedded into towels. Made from 100% combed Turkish cotton and available in divine colors– Moon, Prairie, Stone and Habitat, I'm ready for my closeup or at least for my dip in the tub.
Waterworks Studio is available at Waterworks showrooms and also at Bloomingdale's department stores and online.

Your statement is a weird collection of fallacies and half truths mixed with some true statements. You fail to make a point.
Bottom line. Our country has laws that are often based on the spirit of Christianity, but by design, are not based on the dogma of any faith.
There is a difference between your perception of "truth" based on your religion (and anyone else's religion), and the civil legal system of this country.
This country's laws are designed to evolve into a better civil system in the direction of equal rights for all with prejudice to none. Stand aside and let it work.

Research is one of the five key areas of the Association's work. All aspects of the Association's research share two key aims; building a strong evidence base for permaculture and improving permaculture practice.
Our aim is to fulfil these aims through six objectives:
- Engaging more people in permaculture research
- Enabling more people to get access to permaculture research
- Engaging more students and research interns
- Building an international research network
- Increasing links with universities, other academic institutions and policy makers
- Securing funds for long-term reserach goals
In April 2012 the Association appointed its first Research Coordinator, Chris Warburton Brown. Alongside Chris, the research team currently comprises two volunteer interns; Barney Thompson works on our ten-year Forest Garden Research Project and Cat Richards is completing the International Research Survey.
The research team is supported by the Research Advisory Board, 18 experts from academia and other fields who advise on the activities being undertaken and set the key direction of the Association's research through the Research Strategy.
A key part of the research the Association does is the involvement of its members. Opportunities for members to get involved are advertised here and through the e-bulletin. Get in touch if you have an idea for a research project, or research findings you think would be of interest to the permaculture community: firstname.lastname@example.com
Suggested actions:
- Contact the Association about getting involved in the Research Advisory Board
- Download the research strategy (see link below)
- Tell us about your research work

Mixed vegetable polycultures results
Mixed veg can mean so much more than a quick-fix packet from the freezer. For 50 people around the UK last year, it took on a new meaning – a new way of growing vegetables all mixed up together.

TOPIC / Interior Design
I've been thinking a lot about moving, mainly 'cuz we're going to, either to New York or just another place in Boston. I'm getting pretty jazzed and find myself daydreaming about what kind of magical space we'll be able to create. I see pictures like this on desire to inspire and just drool. Nice even palette, but a punch of vibrant color. Stunning. The aesthetic is quirky and unique, but also somewhat elegant, but mainly clean.
There's the rub: who can live like this? I have too much stuff and I don't think I can rid of it. When I see homes that I love it always looks like no one lives there. So, I'm altering my dreams: we find a place with an extra room. It'll be my studio/junk room, like my dad's workshop, but with proper insulation and a computer. No one is allowed in. Just me. Ahhh... All the clutter I can accumulate. No one is allowed in our apartment right now, not until it looks like no one lives here. That's the rule.
By the way, the photo is from the portfolio of interior designer Kathryn Scott.

It wasn't until she had grandchildren that Toni of Snickerdoodles Photography LLC picked up a camera again, rekindling a childhood passion for photography. She then decided to turn this passion into a business with coshutterbug Laurie, and together, they helm sessions that include newborn photo shoots. They specialize in portraits and welcome families and pets, with a collection of props to use during indoor and outdoor sessions. The photography duo also offers event services and themed mini sessions.
Permalites collaborates with clients to create exterior lighting designs that not only provide peace of mind for homeowners, but also beautify their landscaping and increase the resale value of their homes. Each project starts with an in-person consultation with a certified and licensed technician who will discuss lighting ideas and budget constraints before designing a low-voltage lighting system that will meet those needs. All along the way, technicians keep homeowners informed on the project's progress and long after the job is done, technicians can return to homes to provide upkeep or repair services. Permalites can also prep properties for the holidays with Christmas lighting designs and installation, so homeowners don't have to persuade a jolly, bearded neighbor to camp out on their roof for a few weeks.
Husband-and-wife photography team Bert and Cindy Behnke would be formidable competitors—if they didn't run Behnke Fine Portraiture together. Both earned master of photography and photographic craftsman degrees from the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), along with numerous accolades. Cindy has been the Illinois and PPA Photographer of the Year, and Bert won the PPA's International Award and served as the organization's president. They strut their shutter-snapping skills at their studio in Mokena, tucked amid 2 acres of wooded areas that give clients a scenic alternative to in-studio shoots.
Pump It Up's two indoor inflatable arenas bounce socked striplings high off the ground with a plethora of kid-friendly bounce pads. Trained, amiable staffers supervise fun-filled visits where parents can leap around with their kids through gargantuan, air-filled bounce houses, skip down air-filled slides, and slither like snakes covered in bacon grease through an air-filled obstacle course. Attendees can also focus their free play for special events, such as custom birthday parties and themed, private team parties. These themed soirees immerse children in a schedule of interactive activities befitting a pirate or a superhero while melting off youthful energy faster than ice cubes thrown into a running DVD player. Both giant arenas are climate controlled and maintained according to rigorous guidelines enforced by the well-trained staff and local police. Supplementing its thorough rule enforcement with expert installation and anchoring, Pump It Up holds itself to strict safety standards.
At Hair of the Dog, nail clipping, premium shampoos, coat conditioners, and massage are just a few services that help ensure pups emerge with their newly cleaned tails wagging. A full-service doggy spa and boutique, Hair of the Dog employs professional groomers highly trained in haircuts, tints, and styles that accentuate each pup's coat. They also specialize in luxe treatments such as fur blowouts, "pawdicures," and blueberry facials.

KIRKSVILLE, MO -- Fact Finder asked the people in charge of some Kirksville retail stores. The ones we found said that, in general, the day was a success compared to last year.
Paige Nelson of JC Penney said that shoppers were searching for the basics as much as anything.
"Black Friday went really good for us, actually. The customers were kind of shopping basic items this year and we had plenty of those and we didn't run out of anything. We had plenty of the items that were advertised, so it went well for us," said Nelson.
"We had a lot more items, over 100 items, this year. We had fewer customers probably for the day, but the average transactions, what we look at, way up from previous years," said Doug Nichting, the store manager of Wal-Mart.
Nichting added that electronics were especially popular this year, that the store sold a lot of GPS units and Laptops.
Fact Finder also talked to a small business owner as well to see what she thought.
Sherry Stacey, the owner of Hidden Treasures, estimated that business has doubled since last year. She said it could be attributed to the economy.
"We had an amazing day. This whole year has been good compared to last year…" she said.

SARASOTA COUNTY — Schroeder-Manatee Ranch officials were hoping for a different decision from Sarasota County commissioners Tuesday.
But they only got the same.
Just as Sarasota County planning commissioners recommended in May, county commissioners endorsed only three of five amendments to SMR's 5,550-acre Villages of Lakewood Ranch South. SMR officials have maintained that all five are cruicial to continuing with the project.
Commissioners denied SMR's request to reduce the project's eastern buffer from 550 feet to 200 feet and also to eliminate the greenbelt requirement along the project's southern boundary.
The commission approved the elimination of a 500-foot greenbelt at the northern part of the property, the elimination of a 126-acre greenway from the Gum Slough area and a modification to make Lakewood Ranch Boulevard four lanes instead of two.
If built, The Villages would be the first project constructed under Sarasota County's 2050 plan which encourages developments built around town centers. SMR has been working with Sarasota County officials on The Villages since 2003, when the project was selected to be a test site to see how Sarasota's 2050 Plan could be implemented.
At the meeting, Commissioner Joe Barbetta argued that some of 2050's stipulations were too strict.
SMR had scheduled to begin the three-phase, 20-year project as early as 2012, said SMR Vice President of Planning Todd Pokrywa. Now, the state Department of Community Affairs will review the project, which could take several months.

Question for the NM-070 owners out there: is the listed 4.3" Y travel real? Is there a way to increase it at all?
I'm looking at getting either a 135 or a 070. The 070 will do everything I need, except for the Y travel. The extra $2000 means I would have to wait quite a while longer to buy a NM-135.
the spindle centre to the column way cover is about 4.75", so increasing the table travel doesnt necessarily do anything useful.
for the record though, my kx1 (gen 1, but more or less the same) has 5.5" from spindle centre to column face without the bellows. the saddle will move 5.5" safely (it actually runs out over 8" but your pretty much off the dovetails so its stupid).
you could put a 1" spacer block on the head to increase the usable travel to 5.5". id not recomend trying to squeeze more out because it creates alot of leverage on the Z dovetail, and with the drive screw behind the column makes for a type of mechanical backlash that can be bothersome.

Motion 3rd Birthday - Lee Foss, Andre Crom, Ben Pearce
Slightly late throwing this one out there, but nonetheless, Motion have curated a stunning line up for their 3rd birthday celebration. Lee Foss, Andre Crom and Ben Pearce will all be gracing the legendary Digital club in Newcastle this Friday (yes, tomorrow).
Each artist has had stunning success in recent months. Lee Foss, part of the Hot Natured quartet has been going from strength to strength; their latest single, Reverse Skydiving, has reached the necessary heights to fulfil its own title.
Similarly, both Andre Crom and Ben Pearce have had their fair share of the limelight too. Perfect Thing has long been a personal favourite of ours and we're pretty confident that everyone and their dog has, at some point, got down to Ben's What I Might Do.
If you're quick, you can still grab your ticket off NJAT.
Oh, and who knows. Maybe, just maybe Anabel Englund will show up.

Good News: Protect Your Good Health as a Caregiver

If you are a personal caregiver--you provide support for a family member or friend in their home, don't forget to take good care of you while you are helping others. Look at your role as a personal caregiver this way. The best gift you can give your friend or family member is your own good health.
Caregiving is a big job. Stress related to caregiving can affect your immune systems making you more prone to chronic illness. Caregiving is an enormous responsibility, and while it is rewarding, it can zap the energy you have left over for yourself and your family. Personal caregiving takes on many different forms depending on the age and the needs of the person who benefits from your care. Anyone who runs errands because a family member or friends no longer drives, or helps them get dressed, prepares food or helps with numerous other issues, is making a difference as a personal caregiver.
Too often caregivers don't see themselves as caring for someone else. They may see it as a family obligation or doing a "favor" for another person. But if you are devoting time to caring for a friend or family member consider yourself a personal caregiver.
Most caregivers start out wanting to be helpful for another less fortunate person. But at the end of the day too often caregivers feel physically and emotionally drained. They juggle caregiving with their own family needs or work schedules. But when caregivers don't balance their own life with their role as a caregiver, they can feel burned out, sad, angry and depressed.
A Balanced Life
Maintaining a balance is key to being a healthy caregiver. It's easy to get worn out even if the person you are caring for receives professional care. You may still be making many personal decisions for the person you care for. That alone is worrisome and wearing. If you are like a lot of caregivers, it's difficult to turn off caregiving and get a good night's sleep.
If you're feeling run down, more tired than usual and aren't sleeping well, it's time to step up and put a "caregivers' health plan" in place. How can you take better care of you? These tips can help you increase your physical and emotional strength and ward off exhaustion and illness. At the same time, your improved health will allow you to be a better caregiver.
Tips for Being a Healthy Caregiver
�Exercise your brain. Play board games, take up a new hobby, and sign up for a class. You may not realize it but your brainpower has incredible potential when it is "sharpened" and kept fit. As we age, the health and vitality of our brains becomes more dependent on how we use it. Exercising your brain can offer new life to aging neural pathways. Establishing new pathways is even better for an aging brain and helping you be a more focused, healthier caregiver.
�Don't forget to add physical exercise in your daily life. Get exercising. It is important for both your physical and mental well-being.
�Improve your quality of sleep. Look for new ways to get better sleep. Slow down before you got to bed. Don't watch TV or work on the computer before bedtime.
�Take a break from caregiving. Respite time is crucial when you're taking care of someone else.
�Stay involved with hobbies and social activities. Don't neglect the routine of doing what you love to do in your free time.
�Watch for signs of depression. If you become depressed it will impact your ability to make good decisions. Ask for help when you feel overwhelmed.
�Slow down. Most of us aren't trained to be caregivers. Recognize that it is important to know how and when to slow down, step back, and share the responsibilities with other family members or community resources. You don't have to shoulder all the responsibilities of personal caregiving alone.
�Laugh....It's good for you for others around you.

Grant charged
Published : 12 Feb 2010 10:13:59Rss feed
THE Football Association have charged Portsmouth manager Avram Grant with improper conduct for confronting referee Kevin Friend at half-time during the 1-1 draw with Sunderland on Tuesday. Grant squared up to Friend after the half-time whistle after seeing two penalty claims turned down and having Ricardo Rocha dismissed for conceding the penalty which led to Darren Bent's 12th-minute opener at Fratton Park. Grant also ranted after the game about decisions going against his side, but an FA statement confirmed: The charge relates to Grant's behaviour towards referee Kevin Friend at the conclusion of the first half of Portsmouth's match against Sunderland at Fratton Park on February 9.'' Grant has until next Thursday to respond to the charge, which will be heard by March 5. Friend also dismissed Lee Cattermole and David Meyler for the visitors but Grant felt his side were still on the rough end of the decisions. Referees are honest but they go with the atmosphere and they also read the papers, so it is easy to do it,'' Grant said after the game. I cannot fight against the whole world.''

Second draw span attached to South Park Bridge
King County Road services provided an update and photo for the ongoing construction of a new South Park Bridge that has an expected completion in early 2014.
From King County's DeAnna Martin:
We achieved a major milestone the weekend of Oct. 4, as the derrick barge made its last trip to the bridge site with a 525,000 lb. drawspan suspended on its hook. The north toe span was lifted into place on Friday afternoon and bolted to the heel span in the pier over the course of 31 hours (using a total of 1064 bolts!). In the coming month, we'll pour the concrete deck of the north span, cure it, then raise the span and do the same work on the south span.
You can view construction photos taken in September on the project website. We'll be announcing another slide show in the coming weeks for an as-yet-to-be-determined date in November.

Thank you for a very good movie with positive message. I am very happy to see a movie with some morals attached. Please do more..
This is the kind of movie we need for our Children. We don't need more of Miley Cirus (someone our children looked up to) acting out like she is still a rebellious teenager. As far as the critics the bad reviews came from the right and left coast, could we expect anything different.
Great acting! A must see movie for a family! We took our 8 yrs old girl & 19 yrs old son.
Incredible movie.

Computerworld - The U.S. isn't doing a good job keeping secrets. Think Edward Snowden. But demand for trustworthy IT professionals is strong, especially if they want to work for Amazon Web Services.
Amazon has more than 100 job ads for people who can get a top secret clearance, which includes a U.S. government administered polygraph examination. It needs software developers, operations managers, and cloud support engineers, among others.
[TOP TECH HOARDERS: 15 companies with HUGE cash piles]
Amazon's hiring effort includes an invite-only recruiting event for systems, support engineers at its Herndon Va., facility on Sept. 24 and 25.
Amazon is challenging established IT vendors for U.S. government intelligence work, illustrated by an escalating fight to build a private cloud for the CIA.
Amazon was initially picked by the U.S. over IBM to build a cloud platform for the spy agency. IBM protested this award and prevailed in an administrative ruling. Amazon filed a 61-page complaint in federal court last month challenging the decision to re-bid this project.
For Amazon, this may be a fight about perception as it is about the bid's technical issues. In its government lawsuit, Amazon said it realized, before most other companies, how cloud computing "could fundamentally alter the path of computing" and this gave it "a multiple-year head start on late adapters."
Amazon describes IBM as "a traditional fixed IT infrastructure provider and late entrant to the cloud computing market."
Charles King, an analyst at Pund-IT, said he's "a bit uncomfortable with Amazon's positioning" in the lawsuit of cloud services "as something new that a vendor like IBM is somehow incapable of delivering."
Cloud computing "simply describes one approach to data center asset provisioning; one that has been around and been practiced by vendors including IBM for many years," said King. "This doesn't reflect on the relative merits of either company's bid for the CIA project but to consider one or the other as somehow inherently superior seems mistaken to me," he said.
The government was apparently willing to pay a premium for Amazon's cloud implementation. The amount of the bid by the vendors wasn't disclosed, but government evaluation of the bids put the prices at $148 million for Amazon versus $93 million for IBM.
Analysis of this dispute is difficult because the government has redacted parts of the information around it. But Bill Moran, an analyst at Ptak Noel & Associates, describes in a report, some of the problems the vendors faced.
The vendors were required to address hypothetical scenarios. In one instance, it involved the processing of 100 terabytes data. But scenario was ambiguous, and the vendors priced it different ways, making it impossible to compare prices, wrote Moran.
There were other issues with the bid as well, but overall the Ptak Noel report said that the CIA "did a poor job with a poorly worded" request for proposals.
Ptak Noel report goes further and argues that "CIA showed bias in favor of Amazon," but it faulted IBM as well, saying it needed to do a better in writing and presenting their proposal. IBM says it did not pay for the Ptak Noel report.

When do you know what is best for yourself? I know who I would like to be one day. But how do you know that in the long run you will love it forever. Could it be that these stressful times that cause these questions to arise are just a obstacle to true success in life?…. The fear of failure and the desire to be completely happy seem to always clash together. They say that you change people change their careers 7 times in life. How do you know what's right for you? Trial and error? I just want to be where I should be right now instead of guessing and wishing to be there….

Plyometric Tips for Baseball Pitchers
NSCA's Performance Training Journal:
Injuries to the shoulder are common in baseball. Pitchers are particularly at risk of injuring their rotator cuff, a collection of four muscles that originate on the scapula and insert on the humerus (arm bone) (table 1). Even though these muscles are small in size, relative to other shoulder muscles such as the deltoid and muscles are small in size, relative to other shoulder muscles such as the deltoid and the trapezius, they play a crucial role in the overhead throwing motion. Recovery from cuff injuries can be a slow process, requiring the player to miss a significant number of practices and games.
Basic Rotator Cuff Training
Professional organizations, like the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the American Sports Medicine Institute have done a good job educating coaches, strength training professionals, and athletes to the importance of performing shoulder exercises. Many popular baseball strength training programs exist consisting of rotator cuff exercises such as the side-lying external rotation and the 90-90 shoulder external rotation (figures 1 & 2). These exercises do an adequate job of training the shoulder, but a comprehensive program consisting of general lower extremity exercises, core stability exercises, and upper extremity plyometric exercises should be performed. Plyometric exercises may help prepare the pitcher to handle the significant forces experienced by the shoulder during the deceleration phase of the throwing motion (1). This article will offer a few plyometric exercises that can be incorporated into a comprehensive training program for baseball pitchers.
Plyometric Exercises
Perform each exercise for one to two sets of five to eight repetitions. These exercises should not be performed more than two days a week. A certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) can help design and progress your overall program.
Overhead Throw
When starting a plyometric program for the first time, take care to select a light to moderately weighted medicine ball. To perform this exercise, begin with both arms holding the ball overhead. Take one step forward and throw the ball to a partner or against a rebounder/trampoline (figure 3).
One-Handed Baseball Throw
This single arm throw mimics the pitching motion. Start with your arm and shoulder in the 90-90 position (figure 4). Throw a light plyoball toward a rebounder and catch the ball with the same arm upon its return.
Side Throw
Hold the medicine ball in both hands. Initiate the exercise by swinging your arms across your body rotating towards the right (or vice versa if you are left hand dominant pitcher). Quickly rotate back toward the left, throwing the ball to a partner or against a rebounder (figure 5).
Kneeling 90 – 90 Catch and Throw
Kneel with your throwing shoulder in the 90-90 position. Have a teammate or coach stand behind and slightly to the side of you. Your partner will throw (lob or underhand toss) a light plyoball forward over your shoulder. As the ball passes over your shoulder catch it (shoulder internal rotation) and quickly reverse direction (externally rotate the shoulder) throwing the ball back to your teammate or coach.
These plyometric exercises presented here are designed to functionally challenge the baseball pitcher. Those who perform a functional strength training routine may enhance their performance and minimize their overall risk of injury.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued the final regulations for the employment provisions -- Title II -- of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act. Employers should look at their medical examination forms, and the questions they routinely ask employees or applicants. They should also include notices on all requests for medical information, according to experts.
"The most immediate implication is that employers and their agents may not be asking employees or applicants about family medical history, including any history of injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome," said attorney Frank Alvarez, a partner with Jackson Lewis LLP. "The impact on medical examinations is a sleeper issue under GINA. Many employers just don't realize that GINA may cover routine employee medical examinations."
Additionally, Alvarez advises employers to audit all medical examination forms used to collect medical information and remove any unlawful inquiries.
The regulations generally apply to employers with at least 15 employees. They prohibit employers from discharging, refusing to hire, or otherwise discriminating on the basis of genetic information and from intentionally acquiring genetic information about applicants and employees. The penalties for violating the regulations can be stiff.
"Don't use genetic information in making employment decisions," said Suzanne Gosden Kitchen, a senior consultant for the Job Accommodation Network, a service of the Office of Disability Employment Policy, U.S. Department of Labor. "You make decisions on employability and can they meet your work-related standards."
Some employers may think the GINA regulations present potential conflicts with the Americans with Disabilities Act. To avoid confusion, employers should focus on the information necessary to make reasonable accommodations.
"When you're looking at ADA compliance, focus on current impairment and limitations," said Linda Carter Batiste, principal consultant for JAN. "Focus on what they have right now. You don't need family medical history or genetic information."
GINA regulations, on the other hand, "prohibit discrimination based on a person's genetic information, whereby a disability might not be present now -- or ever -- but the fact that you have a genetic predisposition to a disability," Kitchen said.
Wellness program exception. The final regulations include an exception to an employer's ability to collect genetic information where voluntary wellness programs are involved. However, meeting the standards can be tricky.
"Efforts to manage employee disabilities proactively and prevent illness through voluntary wellness programs just became significantly more complicated," Alvarez said. "Complying with the Title II regulations will be more challenging than many might expect."
A wellness program is identified as voluntary if it "neither requires employees to participate nor penalizes employees for non-participation," according to Jackson Lewis. Also, employers may use financial inducements in wellness programs that seek genetic information under some circumstances.
For the exception to apply, employees must provide knowing, voluntary, and written authorization that meets the following minimum standards:
Financial inducements for health risk assessments that include questions about family medical history or other genetic information are also allowed, as long as "the inducement will be made available whether or not the participant answers questions regarding genetic information," Jackson Lewis said.
Inadvertent exception. Another exception highlighted in the final regulations is when the employer or other covered entity inadvertently requests, requires, or obtains genetic information. However, the final regulations now clarify that employers are expected to take steps to prevent such occurrences.
One such step is informing employees and medical professionals via written notice that they should not provide any genetic information when responding to requests for medical information, expect as specifically allowed by the law.
"Employers seeking to reduce their exposure to GINA claims should consider including . . . a notice in all requests for employee medical information; e.g., requests made in connection with an employee's request for a reasonable accommodation pursuant to the ADA and requests for leave or return to work certifications under the Family and Medical Leave Act or another federal, state, or local leave law," Jackson Lewis advises.
According to the EEOC, "the use of this type of warning creates a 'safe harbor' for employers who receive genetic information in response to a request for health-related information. To take advantage of this safe harbor, the employer must do what is reasonably necessary to ensure that the warning is understood by employees or doctors submitting health-related information to the employer, at the time of submission."
The EEOC further suggests employers include notices on all requests for medical information directing medical professionals not to inquire about family medical history.

About the Cadillac Palace Theatre Chicago:
Chicago's Cadillac Palace Theatre first opened opened in 1926, at the corner of Randolph and LaSalle. The theatre quickly became popular, and developed quite the buzz with its rich French-inspired interior. Designed by famous architects, the Rapp Brothers, the Palace routinely packed its 2,500 seats with audiences eager to see the rising stars of vaudville's Orpheum Circuit, among them Bob Hope, Jack Benny, and Mae West.
However, the Palace appeared on the scene seemingly after vaudeville's popularity had peaked, and it was converted into a movie theater in 1931. As time went on, like many of Chicago's downtown theaters the Palace struggled to attract crowds and soon fell into disrepair. In 1984, it was renamed the Bismarck Theatre and had mixed success as a rock venue. Finally, in 1999, the Cadillac Palace Theatre became part of the attempt to revive downtown Chicago's theater scene and besides a corporate sponsor, it also received a complete restoration and renovation.
Now, the Cadillac Palace Theatre is home to quality Broadway musicals, having hosted big hits such as "Aida", "The Producers", "Mamma Mia", "The Lion King", and the Oprah produced "The Color Purple".

WebMD Answers
A high-glycemic diet, one that's heavy on pizza, bread, and desserts, can really do a number on the skin. Scientists aren't quite sure why this happens, but it's true for a substantial number of people. They look older, have poor skin color and are prone to breakouts. The same goes for alcohol or too much caffeine. Alcohol dehydrates – think how thirsty people are when they wake up with a hangover – and dehydration shows up in the skin, lessening elasticity. Caffeine is a vasodilator (opens up the capillaries) and can make skin look red and swollen. So can spicy foods, which are definitely a no-no for those with rosacea.
MSG and heavy salt consumption can make the face look puffy, particularly around the eyes. If you have a heavy hand with the saltshaker and also have chronically puffy eyes, you might want to consider cutting down on your salt intake. For people with acne, dairy and sugar are a bad combination. Recent studies have shown that cutting out dairy and sugar improves acne in a substantial percentage of patients.
I am a firm believer in the benefits of green tea and even offer it to the patients in my practice. It has proven anti-oxidant properties as a beverage and is a very good anti-inflammatory when applied directly to the skin. But this is only true of freshly brewed tea. As for beverages that claim to balance or clarify the skin, it's a great marketing ploy, but totally not true. People who buy these products are making companies richer, but not helping their skin.
So what foods and drink are good for the skin? For starters, fresh fruit and vegetables, lots of them, which contain vital phytonutrients that are not found in pills, flavored waters or energy bars. Raw nuts, like almonds and walnuts. Extra-virgin olive oil. Lean protein. Water – plain. Fresh green tea, with a squirt of lemon. People who eat all these things, drink plenty of water and stay away from sugar and dairy notice an improvement in their skin tone in just a couple of weeks.
