From RH Lit. Wk 2, 2nd Printing: Beginning students, please see the directions at the beginning of the Terms Index (Appendix B) of Poetics about making cards for a list of basic vocabulary terms this week.
Question: What directions is this referring to? I do not see any directions at the beginning of Appendix B. There is a brief intro prior to Appendix A, but no "directions" to the student.
There is a great list of Basic Terms there at the beginning of Appendix B, and I know the students are supposed to make cards, but don't know if there are additional instructions in directions somewhere that I can't find.
Thanks for any help you can offer me!

How to Become a Christian
Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."Yet God loves you and wants to save you from sin, to offer you a new life of hope. John 10:10 says, "I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full." To give you this gift of salvation, God made a way through His Son, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."You receive this gift by faith alone. Ephesians 2:8 says, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast."Faith is a decision of your heart demonstrated by the actions of your life. Romans 10:9 says, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."If you are choosing right now to believe Jesus died for your sins and to receive new life through Him, pray a prayer similar to this to thank Him for your new life: "Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died to forgive me of my sins. I now accept Your offer of eternal life. Thank You for forgiving me of all my sin. Thank you for my new life. From this day forward, I will choose to follow You."If you prayed this prayer, share your decision with a Christian friend or pastor. If you are not already attending church, find one in which you can worship and grow in your faith. Please make sure that the church you attend teaches, preaches, and believes that the entire Bible is the very Word of God! If you require further assistance in finding a local church, please feel free to email me and I will do all I can to assist you. Here is a link that will take you to the Global Church of the Nazarene web site where you can search for a local Church of the Nazarene:
I would love to hear about your decision to follow Christ. Please let me know by sending me an e-mail.
You will find a number of Digitracts that will help you with may different spiritual needs at:

He and another guy barged into Mickey D's before dawn with guns drawn and made off with almost $2 grand. They locked the employees in the cooler and robbed them, too.
One of their guns went off during the hold-up but no one was hurt.
The cops caught both guys.
The guy who worked at BK was sentenced to 11-years in prison.
The other guy got 14-years for robbing two other McDonald's, as well.

Obama to Challenge GOP on Healthcare Costs
Reader Comments
Health Care For The Rest of Us
Health care, a major element of our economic heartbeat is stressed! My Loose Penny Program, a capital injection, will start to repair our muscle, but mission critical diplomacy is required.
The president needs to bring our fast foods, supermarkets; Target and Wal-Mart CEO's to the Rose Garden, to ink the deal. Barack Obama went to Cairo. He can meet with KFC. Our pocket change can make the critical health care diff rinse.
Every chain must participate in our Loose Pennies Program, regardless the size of their enterprise. Our purpose: an additional two-cents in their cash registers. For every item registered we want two pennies extra, tacked as patriotic gratuity.
This is not a government mandate. A patron can refuse to pay the voluntary two cents. Burger, fries and a drink total six extra cents, pennies off the pavement. Regardless what we purchase at the market; we are only pitching in some loose change out of pocket. 40 items at the supermarket could easily add up to $150. Does 80 cents inhibit your generosity?
A worker chosen by the workers to represent them can meet with the managers to approve the total pennies for everything out the door the week before, dividing that total by everyone's hours worked.
Then we include up to $2 dollars extra for every hour in the worker's paychecks. We could deduct 5 % for a medical mal-practice pool, but employers are exempted from matching, so sticker prices won't be raised to cover any additional cost of doing business. Fast food chains and supermarkets won't be harnessed by charges from our two-pennies program!
The worker's pay raise doesn't come out of management's pocket, but work place production will increase. When someone quits, the crew might ask the boss leave them to pick up the slack, so they earn more money!
The overage, beyond $2 dollars hourly extra in every pay, goes to interest bearing medical savings accounts, with the worker's name on his or her portion. President Obama can ask everyone on the low end of the economic chain to divide their bounty, or he can order the take home half in cash, with the balance going to grow their medical savings accounts.
The medical savings account, as a health care solution beats health insurance! Insurance companies are dedicated to making money, not protecting the sick from financial disaster. When an insurance company cancels your policy because you have an expensive disease, they don't refund your premium. But with a Health Assurance Savings Account, when you quit or get fired from the job, your medical savings account goes with you!
After a year behind the fast food counter, a 40-hour per week worker could have more than two grand in their Health Assurance account. Ten million uninsured people at the bottom of our economic food chain might not have health care insurance but all would carry Health Assurance. TPM Daily Beast for more michaelslevinson dot commie
What everyone needs to realize now, is that you can't expect republicans to propose solutions right now. They just aren't capable of figuring out solutions to problems. They argue, they yell, they complain, they feign outrage, but the republican party of 2009 just doesn't have the ability to figure out solutions. And we ought to quit expecting it for a while.
1) Include health care coverage for all people from conception until natural death, and continue the federal ban on funding for abortions;
2) Include access for all with a special concern for the poor;
3) Pursue the common good and preserve pluralism, including freedom of conscience; and
4) Restrain costs and apply costs equitably among payers.
Abortion is not Health Care.
Abortion is slaughter of human life.
Abortion is not Love.
Love Life
Anthony of CA
Good post not much name calling and you stated the facts the way you saw them.
We the people have not bean all that generous or we just did not care. The politicians did not get many letters or phone calls, in fact if we were generous it is staying out of there way so they could figure things out on there own.
I am a smart man not educated as much as most, You are probably a very smart man and a lot of people we know are smart. But we all have different ideas and different methods of doing the same thing. The great thing about a democracy is debate. With proper debate we can learn and adjust. My idea may not be better than yours but they might improve on them or I might learn something I did not know. But debate in our city counsel chambers and town halls cannot happen unless we show up,
Competition involves a loser and a winner and can be good in the right situation but has no place in politics. Because America either wins or loses no matter of your party.
If every body is trying to out do there neighbors who is going to run our nation the politicians who are competing with one another?.
Don D. Brock
20 years or more the republicans and democrats in the house and senate hasn,t propose a health care plan.Now both houses are held by democrats,the republicans and some democrats know a health care bill will be passed.Members of both houses are receving money from these insurance companies not to pass President Obama health care bill.I would like to remind you, President Obama,a good basketball player always want the ball in their hands when the clock is ticking down the final seconds,you are on the foul line one tick left, you sank the first shot too tie the game,the second shot you must make to win the game.Your opponents{republicans and some democrats} called a time out to ice you.You return to the foul line,you take a couple of bounces, with ice water running in vains,you calmly sank the winner basket.I for see you doing this,Wednesday evening 09-09-2009.The health care bill is fair for every American.
I think talking about cost is important. Obama had said he wanted reform which is cost Neutral. In other words, a health care plan that does not increase the deficit. And I'm all for taxing those making over $250,000. The Dems have a provision in the bill that Won't tax small businesses with payrolls less than $250,000.
The Bottom line is, I think it's Great that everyone will have added choices to health care insurance than just their employers plan. Yes.. we Need a Public Option which is the ONLY way people who can't afford health insurance will have health insurance, And.. force insurance companies to offer competitive rates and plans to employers! Don't be fooled...the insurers aren't going to want to lose their current clients(employer sponsored) and will offer employers a Better Deal!!
It's all so simple, all I need is the same quality health care
The politicians in Washington D.C. receive, Iron clad guarantee or a Constitutional amendment that those same politicians experience the same quality health care that the average American endures and any changes to the amendment that benifit the Politicians quality of care or health must also benifit all Americans. One more thing read the Preamble to our constituting and focus on the meaning of what you are reading do a comparison of what was promised and realize how far our politicians, Democrat and Republican alike have failed us. We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Politicians work for us. I feel we have been more then generous for far too long.
The problem with this approach is that Republicans have proposed a number of plans, none of which, to my knowledge, make all Americans agree to buy really awful insurance they can't negotiate or refuse once they see its final form. (And the outlines of the policy the government is designing are not what most would choose for themselves.) Republican plans for individual health savings accounts giving the tax benefits to the individual, not the employer, would actually drive costs down, as ObamaCare does not, and that was supposed to be a driving purpose of this, right? Surely it is the only reason Americans would see to change their OWN plans. Adding a plan for preexisting conditions that states could opt into for that pool of people is one thing. Taking individual control of health care and insurance away from those who already have coverage is never going to be acceptable.
Health Care Insurance (now a monopoly of big insurance companies) is also the goal. Reducing the size of malpractice is not the way to rid the system of inept doctors. Those who have insurance are not out of a job, or in a parttime job and unable to afford insurance for their family. And then there are the millions of retired on Medicare that have to find affordable supplementary insurance. All should read more and think on your feet, and start talking to people and watching less media coverage (who's advertising is 70 percent paid for by insurance and drug companies.
Obama is doding this to spend another trillioon dollars to bancrupt America so the Arabs can take over. Anothr way to kill America for his friends and he will be a dictator.

Dog lovers everywhere love their animals and they also love the planet. When it comes time to take care of their animals, they are always on the lookout for great products that will not harm the environment. Taking care of the environment and your dog at the same time makes you feel great. It is a win-win situation.
The first place to look for such a product is in their dog shampoos. If you need to use a hypoallergenic shampoo, then try Vet's Best Hypo-Allergenic Shampoo made with all natural ingredients. This great shampoo is made with vitamin D and aloe vera so that your dog's coat will shine. The dog will probably stop its scratching since its coat will feel so great.
The second place to look for environmentally friendly products is in their feeding bowls. Many companies make feeding bowls for Fido from bamboo. The very best ones are made by the Harry Barker Company. These bowls combine bamboo with rice husks. All bamboo that is cut will fully regrow within seven years. Rice husks are a byproduct of the production of rice. This makes it totally earth friendly so you can feel great about feeding Fido in this product as there are no chemicals to leach into his water or food.
Of course, after feeding your dog, you will have to clean up after him. BioBag USA 100% Compostable Dog Waste Bags are the perfect solution when cleaning up after your dog. They are 100 percent compostable so you will do the earth a huge favor with no plastic bags that fill up the landfill. These bags make it easy to clean up with a pack of 50. You will feel great that you are helping to take care of the world.
You will love being able to take care of the environment at the same time that you are taking care of your dog. It is so easy with the right shampoo, the right feeding and watering bowls and the right dog waste bags. With these three products your dog will stay healthy and your world will be a better place.

Oysters on the half shell were plump and fresh. The gumbo was lacking a bit in spice but was large in quantity. Service was friendly and fast. A great experience.
Oysters on the half shell were plump and fresh. The gumbo was lacking a bit in spice but was large in quantity. Service was friendly and fast. A great experience.
We were back in Austin and we went straight to Razzos's. Everybody loved all the food that was ordered and our waiter Derrick made our visit absolutely awesome. He was extremely attentive and helpful. This place is great!
I love the shrimp poor boys here. You almost have to eat it with a fork because it's so hard to hold. My husband always gets the fried shrimp. It's fun to come with others. Service is fast and food is wonderful.
I have two grown sons that swear by this place over Pappadeaux's in Austin. I have been here on a few occasions and the food is good and the servings are unreal. The atmosphere is family all the way as well as young couples. Prepare for crowds and possibly waiting as this is in a shopping center.
Straight up, the food was delicious! From the Po'Boys to the stuffed shrimp and stuffed fish it was all great. Our waiter was really helpful and attentive. All our requests were met and the food came out quickly at the right temperature. I would absolutely return.
If you're hungry for some of the flavor of New Orleans, here is a good substitute. Oysters on the half shell and fried fish plates satisfy.
Best cajun food and an awesome atmosphere, bar has signature drinks some you can keep the glass. Shop at Round Rock outlet stores,same parking lot.
Food is good and servers are great about making substitutions. I am not a big green beans fan but when I had the fried version, I really liked them.
This place has really great Louisiana style food. The combo skillet gives you a good variety of food for a great price. The atmosphere is fun and our waitress was great. We will definitely be back.
Good spicy Cajun food. The shrips is my favorite but I always order a variety of food b/c it is all so delicious. The staff is always friendly and we've been there many many times and have never been let down. It's a favorite place to go to with the whole family. Mixed drinks are really good too!

Who "Rushed the Gush" this past weekend?
Despite being invaded by Michigan residents looking to steal our local thunder, there was one area finisher who did something rather remarkable.
He ran the whole damn Half-Marathon (that's 13.1 miles!)…BAREFOOT! And with the condition many of Beaumont's roads are in, that was a brave — and slightly deranged — undertaking.
Lumberton man Chase Williams recounted his experience for Runner's World. Here's a snippet:
i just finished the 2nd annual Beaumont, Tx Gusher half marathon. This was my first time attending this race and im 99.9% sure i was the first ever barefoot runner! it was a really flat course with the only elevation change coming from an underpass going under some railroad tracks, and even that seemed to be flat.
We're pretty sure, too.
all and all it was a good course… if your wearing protection… it was pretty tough barefoot, but i didnt notice till afterwards on my 1 mile walk to the car. i thought about running it, but was too tired. lol.
i had a good run personally. set a new PR of 1:51:36, so i dropped 6 minutes since my last half. But best of all my wife and 2 kids were at the finish line cheering (which is awesome in itself) but i grabbed my cheering sons hand and together we crossed the finish line. i almost teared up… my wife said she did. it wasnt untill (sic) after we crossed the finish line that i realized he was barefoot too!!! it was one of the best things ever!!! and the photographer went crazy snappin (sic) pics of us, so hopefully one came out good!
i somehow managed to have a slab of skin detatch (sic) from my middle toe on my right foot. it appears to have been rubbed off by my 2nd toe. wish my toes would spread out a little more to prevent that from happening.
Great story, but we didn't need that last detail. Slabs of skin rubbing off…nasty. Cool, but nasty.
Anyhow, Williams finished in 70th place — defeating other, shoe-outfitted, runners. Next year, the Gusher people should hand out some sort of "iron foot (toe?)" award. This guy deserved some sort of recognition.
- What if you had purchased Apple stock, instead of that high priced laptop?
- This guy could run for office in Texas.
- U.S. states: not all that prepared for a nuclear meltdown.
- Overheard yesterday by the counter girl at Dunkin Donuts: "What's embarrassing is that I'm still on probation."
- Marvelous! An early start to hurricane season.

Circuit breakers are supposed to protect your family from a fire, but Target 11 has discovered many of us may be living with a ticking time bomb and not know it.
The danger is with one brand of faulty circuit breakers. I found documented cases where Federal Pacific Stab-lok breakers failed and actually caused fires.
The breakers are in thousands of homes in the Pittsburgh area that were built in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. They were made by Federal Pacific Electric, a company that no longer exists.
Fire investigators have linked the faulty breakers to nearly 3,000 fires a year, including one that destroyed a home in Longmeadow, Mass.
The investigator wrote in his report, "Federal Pacific electrical panels are notorious for malfunctioning."
"Of any of the panels ever manufactured, Federal Pacific is probably the least safe of all," said Malcolm Whipkey, a home inspector with 1st Home Inspections.
The first tell-tale sign is often flickering lights and then a basement, attic or garage filled with smoke.
A circuit breaker is designed to trip during an overload, cutting off electricity to prevent a fire. If the breaker doesn't trip, the wires can overheat and even ignite.
"When you look at this case, you notice the case of the breaker shows a lot of heat damage," said Bert Davis, as he showed me a breaker that was involved in a fire.
Davis is the founder of BDA Engineering. He investigates electrical fires and is concerned that many older breakers may fail.
"If you get corrosion inside the breaker, those moving parts may not react at all, or they may not react quickly enough," said Davis.
Back in 1983, the Consumer Product Safety Commission expressed concern about the failure of FPE breakers, but didn't issue a recall.
Since then, experts have testified that the company cheated on testing to get approval from Underwriters Laboratories.
"This is probably the root cause of the Federal Pacific circuit panel," said Whipkey as he showed me the connectors that he says can come loose with age.
When he comes across Federal Pacific panel during a home inspection, he recommends that it be replaced.
"When you have a loose connection, you wind up with arcing and overheating and overloading the circuit breaker," said Whipkey.
Insurance companies know about the dangers. Some even refuse to cover homes with Federal Pacific Stab-lok breakers.
"Everything has a life expectancy to it," said Don Brucker, the Allegheny County Deputy Chief Fire Marshall.
Brucker says 20 percent of the fires his office investigates are caused electrical failures. He believes many of these fires could be prevented.
"If a breaker trips in your house, the worst thing to do is just go automatically go kick it back in if you have no idea what tripped it," said Brucker.
Circuit breakers have a lifespan of about 40 to 50 years, but some panels may not last that long.
If you have an older panel, especially a Federal Pacific circuit breaker, get it checked out by an electrical engineer because it may need to be replaced.

Surface modification for improved organic electronic devices Laboratory for Surface Modification |
Steven L. Bernasek, Princeton University 12:00 Noon, Chem 260 Charge injection barriers occur at interfaces in hybrid electronic devices such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). Modification of the interfaces can be used to control charge transport in the device. Surface dipole manipulation is one route to control this charge injection barrier. Another is to prepare strongly attached doped layers at the interface via appropriate self-assembly routes. We describe methods of surface functionalization that allow the realization of this barrier control on indium tin oxide surfaces used in OLED devices. These routes focus on ligand exchange chemistry or phosphonate self-assembled monolayer formation followed by carrier doping, and result in considerably improved OLED performance. Similar methods are used to fashion improved thin film transistor devices on silicon substrates, and examples of this approach are discussed. Characterization of the monolayer interfaces formed, and the device performance based on them are presented. |

A majority of readers who responded to the Patch poll measuring opinions agree in some fashion with author Anne-Marie Slaughter's thesis in the July/August Atlantic that women cannot have it all in today's environment.
As of noon Sunday, 31 people responded to the poll with 17 saying it is not possible under today's circumstances while six more think it is possible, as Slaughter writes, "Only if she's superwoman." Eight think hard work is enough to make the difference.
One reader, Jim, does not think it is possible for men or women to achieve everything. "Neither women nor men can do or have it all," he writes. "Do we really need to rely on an 'expert' in a magazine article to tell us something that is self evident?"
Another reader, June Shellene in responding to Jim, sees the answer in Laurie Anderson's song, Only an Expert. "Very in your face to that pervasive and misguided philosophy," she writes.

The latest form of jihad: Jihad al-Ziwaj, or "Marriage-Jihad"
As Hamas asserts, "Marriage is the same as jihad." "Gaza bride marries to raise 'martyrs' to Islamist cause," from the Times of India, January 24 :
GAZA CITY: There was no party, no celebrations when 22-year-old Aida al-Qaddumi finally got married this week.There were no regrets either -- she said she was marrying to raise "fighters" and asked only that she might die as a "martyr" in Israel.
Three weeks of a deadly Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip forced postponement of the January 7 wedding, but it did not alter her intentions[...]
The Shujaiya quarter where she lives is a Hamas stronghold which came under heavy fire from Israelis troops. Dozens of people -- many of them civilians -- were killed and dozens of houses destroyed.

William S. Hart Ranch and Museum
A member of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the William S. Hart Museum is less than an hour's drive from most areas of Los Angeles.
The William S. Hart Park and Museum is the former retirement home of the famed silent film actor and director who produced a series of hit Western movies in the early 1900's. His beautiful Spanish Colonial Revival Style Mansion – now the Museum – exhibits an impressive collection of Western artwork by noted artists Charles M. Russell, Frederic Remington, and Joe de Yong, as well as mementos from early Hollywood, personal furnishings and effects, and artifacts representing multiple Native American cultures.
The Museum also includes an historic 1910 Ranch House that exhibits Hart's tack and saddle collection, personal furnishings, and additional Hollywood mementos.
Both the Mansion and the Ranch House are located in scenic William S. Hart Park, where guests may enjoy visiting a live collection of farm animals, a herd of American bison, a vast picnic area, a series of hiking trails, and a charming Western-themed Gift Store.
As Mr. Hart's gift to the public, visiting the Park and Museum is always free.

The hunter's breath: on expedition with the Weddell seals of the AntarcticIn the tradition of Jane Goodall and Ernest Shackleton, biologist Terrie Williams and seven of her fellow scientists embark on an Antarctic expedition to study one the world's most mysterious creatures, the Weddell Seal. Hunting below the Antarctic ice at depths that would crush the lungs of SCUBA divers and freeze the tissues of most fish, the Weddell seal explores places that no human has seen or touched. Nonchalant and grinning, this seal is the ultimate extreme athlete and a mystery to marine biologists as it bends the rules of polar survival. As a top marine predator, the Weddell seal must stalk, capture, and kill its prey under water while holding their breath for more than an hour. |

In the cash-strapped world of public-sector workers' comp claims processing and return-to-work procedures, adding technology can provide plenty of return on investment.
By JARED SHELLY, senior editor/Web editor of Risk & Insurance®
Cities and municipalities are caught in a conundrum these days. With tight budgets they're looking hard at their return-to-work and claims processes, but the idea of investing in new technologies to help strengthen them is almost unthinkable. But so is the idea of employees spending days and weeks on the sidelines and dealing with archaic processes to deal with their workers' compensation and disability claims.
Kimberly Lukanic, managed care specialty products manager at Sedgwick Claims Management Services in Schaumburg, Ill., said that since the recession a lot of the company's public-sector clients have shown interest in figuring out ways to get people back to work faster.
"They realize there is money to be saved with return-to-work programs so they will at least embark on the development of some sort of formal program, even if it's a fairly simplistic one," she said.
But with increased recognition and scrutiny on return-to-work -- and decreased budgets to address it -- it's "absolutely critical" that municipal leaders get creative when figuring out how to deal with the problem, Sanchez said. After all, they certainly can't throw money at it.
Finances at the city of Jacksonville have been stretched thin, just like any other municipality. So when it invested in a host of new surveillance equipment, budget hawks may have thought the spending was frivolous.
"Government is under extreme financial pressure so they must determine their core business because that's all that's going to be funded," said Mitchell Perin, who came on as finance and administrative manager in 2007. "We, like any other area in government, are under this microscope."
But Perin had a plan for the city, which employs 10,000 workers.
An energetic industry veteran, he figured out that today's technology isn't all that expensive in the scheme of things. A modest investment can achieve a significant return in the form of claims processors and adjusters with more time and the ability to garner better data about injuries and time spent out of work on workers' comp and disability claims.
Digital cameras, for example, are just $89; Perin bought nine. And digital voice recorders are around $100; he bought 15. He also converted the system from paper-based folders to electronic files.
That investment pales in comparison to the $100 million that the city pays in annual workers' comp and disability claims. "Yesterday's business model is not today's business model, nor tomorrow's business model," Perin said. "One must position themselves to be flexible and strong, and remain true to their core values to survive now and into the future."
Transforming to a paperless workers' comp and disability claims system made recordkeeping a whole lot easier. Now, digital photos are kept online and voice recordings are held as audio file formats -- and photos and bulky tapes don't slip out of folders and get lost. "Now, we don't lose tapes, and they don't degrade," said Perin, noting that the city also doesn't have to continually buy new blank tapes.
He also bought extra monitors so claims managers can toggle back and forth between documents -- saving time. "Now, they work seamlessly. It lets them focus and concentrate and we get more productivity out of them," Perin said.
Perin provided his adjusters with digital camcorders to help them record details of accidents onsite and he equipped them with flash drives so they can easily gather and upload information.
The technology upgrade has led to a streamlined process that has supplied adjusters and claims processors with time, which has in turn allowed them to have more time to focus on return-to-work rather than the minutia of processing claims.
"The use of technology gives the adjuster invisible time to do their job better, to manage and administer the claim to give the best possible level of care given the nature and condition of the injury," Perin said.
Armed with more time and better technology, Jacksonville officials can store many more records than in the past, allowing them to extrapolate data, which can then be analyzed and brought to future budget meetings or help prevent accidents altogether.
"If you have the right tools you can extract the previously unstructured, invisible data, and find out what it tells you about your business," Perin said.
For example, the city can now tell which accidents and injuries are most common. One common injury was sustained by first responders who were getting back and arm sprains from lifting people into ambulances and on to stretchers. Perin wanted to get his people equipped with power-lift stretchers, but with a closely monitored budget, such purchases may seem unnecessary.
That is, of course, if you can justify that purchase to city leaders by showing how much more expensive it is to have first responders out on disability with back and arm sprains. When dealing with a cash-strapped city government, providing evidence of this caliber is priceless.
"We saw this problem in the unstructured data," Perin said. "On a paper system, you're not going to be able to extrapolate that data."
The results of Jacksonville's changes have been eye-opening. In 2004 the city lost 21,164 work days to disability compared with just 350 days in 2010. In the five years since Perin took the job, the city was able to reduce its cumulative lost work days by 26 weeks.
Could other cities follow suit? That depends on the city and its leadership, experts said. Sedgwick's Lukanic said that larger cities and municipalities are focusing on updating technology, while smaller ones don't even have the budgets to entertain such an idea.
Whatever the size of the municipality, there are certainly benefits to updating equipment like Jacksonville did. If possible, it's also a good idea to add a risk management information system which can help identify trends and pain points in the program, as well as provide factual evidence that can be used to win a budgetary fight later on.
Lukanic said the secret is to show city council members and other municipal budgetary leaders evidence that any investment they make in the program -- technology or otherwise -- will lead to a reduction in the number of lost work days.
Paperless and Internet-based solutions can go a long way toward impacting how a return-to-work program is reported and communicated to workers, she said, however she doesn't believe that having outdated technology hinders a city's ability to get people back to work faster.
In the end, technology can only take you so far, Luckanic said. It's the energy and willingness of executives -- like Perin in Jacksonville -- that make the real difference. Technology can make return-to-work programs work better, make them prettier and make them more efficient, Lukanic said. "However, that technology is not necessarily a requirement for a good program," she said.

This takeout and patio-dining operation serves up seafood from the commercial fisherman who sail out of Barnegat Light, at the northern end of Long Beach Island. Scallops are a specialty, and wonderfully fresh, but at lunchtime a picnic box (not shown, $9.95) held just five, buttressed by a small serving of cole slaw and a hefty heap of fries. Roughly equivalent in bulk and price, and more delightful, was this Wednesdays-only special that adds a cool white loaf of shellfish to a classic sandwich: a scallop BLT.

Stephen Burke raising money for Grandparents Plus
- Friday, 15 June 2012
As part of my warm-up for the Olympics, I am running in the British 10k through central London on Sunday 8 July to raise funds for the charity, Grandparents Plus.
It's a great organisation making a real difference – of course I would say that, as its co-chair alongside its founder Jean Stogdon – but have a look for yourself at the charity's website. Just this week Grandparents Plus hit the headlines with a new report about grandparents who bring up their grandchildren and have to give up work because of lack of support.
You can sponsor me and donate to Grandparents Plus here – please don't forget to add gift aid. I hope to complete the 10k in 52 minutes…
Many thanks in anticipation

Portfolio Construction with Downside RiskHarald LohreDeka Investment GmbH Thorsten NeumannUnion Investment Thomas WinterfeldtHSH Nordbank AG March 18, 2009 Abstract: Portfolio construction seeks an optimal trade-off between a portfolio's mean return and its associated risk. Since risk may not be properly described by return volatility we optimize portfolios with respect to various measures of downside risk in an empirical out-of-sample setting. These optimizations are successful for most of the investigated measures when assuming perfect foresight of expected returns, moreover, these findings still hold when using more naive return estimates. The reductions in downside risk are most convincing for semivariance, semideviation, CVaR and loss penalty while value at risk and measures related to skewness appear rather useless for portfolio construction purposes.

The Five Critiques President Obama's NATO Press Conference
The Five weighed in on President Obama's press conference at the NATO summit in Chicago this afternoon. Regarding the president's comments on the end of combat in Afghanistan, Dana Perino said, "We've been working with NATO for many years, I'll set aside the policy side of things, I thought it was a strong statement by him although they didn't get enough questions I don't think about it. There was one good question about Pakistan and its role."
Eric Bolling said, "The most important one for me at least politically was the question on Cory Booker. He spent the most time on that one. He talked about the difference between private equity and big government and he said private equity isn't necessarily the way to go, but government might be the way to go."
President Obama openly attacked his Republican opponent Mitt Romney and said in part, "And when you're President, as opposed to the head of a private equity firm, and your job is not simply to maximize profits. Your job is to figure out how everybody in the country has a fair shot."
Greg Gutfeld responded to those comments and said that making a profit should be what the job is about "because if you could make a profit then you could afford these programs that could bankrupt our country; maybe you should think about trying to make a profit."

Just 100 miles from New York City, the Montauk Peninsula boasts an amazing range of habitats: maritime beaches and dunes; coastal and maritime forests; grasslands; shrublands; and fresh, salt, and brackish wetlands.
The Nature Conservancy identified Montauk Peninsula as a high conservation priority through an ecological assessment of the North Atlantic Coast Ecoregion, which extends from southern Maine to New Jersey.
Montauk is special because of its large, high-quality blocks of functioning ecosystems that support viable populations of six globally-rare species, five globally-rare communities, and seven high-quality common communities. At least 35 natural communities are documented on the peninsula.
The critical threats to Montauk Peninsula's biodiversity are invasive species, fire exclusion, and incompatible recreational uses.
Invasive species such as common reed, Japanese honeysuckle, and the marine macroalga reproduce rapidly and can form stands that exclude nearly all other plants. They displace natives, alter ecosystem processes, and hybridize with native species, changing their genetic structure. Native species with a limited range or small population size are particularly vulnerable.
Fire has been a historic component of the landscape on Montauk Peninsula. However, the decreasing use of fire over the last 75 years has allowed woody succession to occur throughout the site's rare maritime grasslands. As a result a diverse assemblage of native grassland species is being replaced by a relatively few common weedy species, and by shrubs and trees. The Nature Conservancy has collaborated with agency staff to reintroduce fire to Theodore Roosevelt County Park.
Second homeowners and visitors are drawn to Montauk Peninsula's ocean beaches. The Hamptons, which include the Town of East Hampton, are a popular resort destination for the New York City metropolitan area. Increasing pressure for recreation (e.g., as all-terrain vehicles, hiking, and horseback riding) in public areas creates fragmentation and disturbance, which facilitate colonization and spread of invasive species.
Within the terrestrial units most of the land is publicly owned. Theodore Roosevelt County Park and Montauk Point and Hither Hills State Parks are partially developed and managed for recreation, and State Parks is considering developing a museum and public camping facilities within Camp Hero. Nearshore activities in the Marine Zone of the site include recreational uses, dredging, and shellfish harvesting.
The Nature Conservancy envisions Montauk Peninsula as a land- and seascape that can weather natural phenomena like fire, erosion, and salt spray. To accomplish this and to sustain the area's biodiversity, we are using the following strategies:
Sandplain Gerardia
Sandplain gerardia is a small annual with delicate pink blossoms.
