Serious Carnage HD - Louva-Deus - 1:03 PM
Seriously!'s latest feature interview is with the developer known as StealthToast on our forums. We are always happy to showcase projects and hope to see yours up here some day. There are many people who love the Serious Sam franchise. And we like to make a special note of those who help keep the games alive.
The short version is this: you have not experienced Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter until you have tried the Carnage mod. Carnage HD is an attempt to make the original game more of a challenge to hardcore players.. and those insane enough to try it. Bring an extra pair of knickers with you.
Carnage HD was one of the first mod projects that focused more on enhancing the original gameplay rather than drastically altering it. That said... you will find Carnage a very different animal to play.
We interviewed StealthToast and asked him why he created this project. Here is what he had to say:
Check out our full interview for more info!
You can download Carnage HD and try it out for yourself! Get all of the parts to play: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8
Be sure to give the creator your feedback by dropping some comments on his forum thread

The Talos Principle Public Test demo released! - Squadala - 7:28 AM

New The Talos Principle interview reveals a Talos tech demo is coming to Steam! - Squadala - 4:37 PM
Venture Beat has released an interview about The Talos Principle with Alen Ladavac!
Before starting the interview, the writer states that a tech demo for The Talos Principle will be released this Thursday on Steam! It's unknown exactly what it'll feature, but it sounds like it should be picked up by anyone interested in the game and wanting to try it out before they commit a purchase.
The interview with Alen discusses how Croteam made their own bot in order to test the game. In order to speed up testing, one of their programmers wrote a bot that recorded what human testers did, then goes through the levels itself. When it finds a bug, it automatically reports it, then uses cheats to continue. The bot goes as fast as as CPU can calculate how the bot and the game's phsysics work, meaning it can complete several entire playthroughs of the game per day. Human playtesters are still used, but they focus on things that a bot can't judge, like the story and the visuals. Alen also states they'll use it in future Croteam games.
Alen also has a somewhat in-depth discussion about how The Talos Principle started:
We didn't plan it! It happened spontaneously. The idea to do a different [intellectual property] had been cooking for a long time. As we worked on the next Serious Sam game, our team experimented with some new gameplay involving devices. Two team members created a series of test levels for our teammates to sample.
I created levels of complexity that fit into the Serious Sam universe, but my colleague didn't stop there. He also created several very demanding levels to test the maximum complexity that could be achieved within our new gameplay concepts.
For anyone interested in how games are tested, the interview is a good read.
The Talos Principle Coming December 11th - Louva-Deus - 2:23 PM
Today, Mike Mahardy, of IGN, has posted a release date for The Talos Principle! According to him the PC, Mac, and Linux versions will be released on December 11th, with the PS4 and Android versions coming in Q1 of next year! Please note that this has not yet been confirmed with Croteam. He also had the following announcement:
Check it out here! And, as always, you can speculate about this awesome news in the Official Talos Principle Forum.

Thana's Insane Showcase
New showcase, new ideas… and more! She started remaking the Serious Sam HD: FE maps, and they look awesome for sure! Really exciting work is being done here!
Emperor Danny's Serious Sam 2 Showcase
After a while, Danny is back to work on his "Toxic Mountains" campaign and made a new enemy model named "Toxic Elemental" !
Noam2000's Toilet
Noam2000 has made a Survival map for Serious Sam 3 while he is working on a "big Project-o".
Maska322's Showcase
Maska322 has started work on the third part of his campaign. He mentioned that in this part, you are on planet Sirius, space ships and military bases! He already finished the first map of the campaign: Saw-War City and started the second map which takes place in Cosmos! It's looking great! Visit his showcase for more screens.

Introducing Croteam Website HD! - Solais - 9:31 AM
We think it's not a secret to anyone that Croteam's original website have been always looking maybe a little outdated. As in, it looked the same as it did 16 years ago.
However, today like a miracle out of nowhere, Croteam's site have been completely revamped, with fresh information about their Company, Technology, Games, and - most importantly for those out there with talent and love for games - a Career page, where you can apply for a job at Croteam! I recommend the Outsourced jobs personally, as you don't need to move to Croatia to do that job. (From what we get, anyways!)
Follow this link to be amazed of Croteam's new site!
Halloween Classic Playthrough! - Louva-Deus - 10:07 PM
This Friday and Saturday Seriously! and 42 Amsterdam are hosting a special Halloween Classic Playthrough of the original smash hits Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter. Thanks to the power of Anti-GameSpy magic we will take the fight to the forces of Mental. So anytime you feel like it, just drop into one of our servers on those days (First Encounter on Friday and Second Encounter on Saturday) and have a blast! And for those that are interested, in addition to our two dedicated campaign servers, we are planning to have one server running custom maps the entire time.
We look forward to seeing you there! By the way, as a community service we ask that you invite everyone you have ever known who played these games to come join the fun!
P.S: We will be using version 1.05 of The Second Encounter because it is much more stable.
Persepolis Map Pack - Louva-Deus - 10:48 PM
This week's feature project is the Persepolis Map Pack by Rakanishu. He released this pack on Steam and you simply have to try it out. The screenshots do not do it justice.
The Persepolis Map Pack is the first part of a grand three-pack campaign featuring epic new maps styled after the original game locales. This pack is available now for Serious Sam Revolution on the Steam Workshop.
To make the Persepolis Pack experience even better, Raka has added the new enemies available in Revolution to create a totally new experience from the classic formula.

Award-Winning Duo Mary Mary Announces 'Go Get It' Tour, Launching 10/25
Multi Grammy award winning duo Mary Mary is gearing up to tour North America in support of their latest studio album, Go Get It. The duo's headlining tour will kick off in Jacksonville, FL on October 25, running through November 17 in Hampton, VA (see below for a list of full dates).
The opening act for the entire tour is Stellar Award-winning recording artist Isaac Carree, who will be supporting his new album Uncommon Me, available now. Additional support acts in select markets are Grammy Award nominee VaShawn Mitchell, Anthony Brown & Group TherAPy, Sunday's Best Finalist Jessica Reedy and Anita Wilson.
Go Get It was released on May 8, 2012 and features brand new songs, as well as remixed and remastered versions of some of the duo's greatest hits. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Gospel Chart and recently earned the duo a 2012 Soul Train Award nomination for Best Gospel/Inspirational Performance.
The duo, sisters Erica and Tina Campbell, have been keeping up a tremendous pace. In the past year the ladies have been nominated for every major award and have taken home many – receiving the prestigious ASCAP Golden Note Award, a BET Award, Soul Train Award, two Stellar Awards and double Grammy nominations. They show no signs of slowing down.
In addition to filming the second season of their reality series MARY MARY, which takes a personal look at their lives as singers, mothers, wives, and siblings, both sisters experienced pregnancy within the past year. Erica and husband/producer Warryn Campbell welcomed their third child in February 2012 and Tina and her husband/Tonight Show band drummer Teddy Campbell gave birth to their fifth child this past August. Season 2 of MARY MARY kicks off December 13, 2012 on WETV.

I really enjoyed the show she was extremely funny
Orange, New Jersey born & raised Roslane Gholston, known to some as Lady Roz G, is one of the funniest up & coming female comedians in the country. As soon as she blazes the stage with her comedic skills, thunderous voice, and her voluptuous persona, the audience knows they are in for something special. Roz G has developed her own following by hosting and performing at a variety of clubs, colleges and special events in the tri-state area and abroad. In addition, she sings, raps, and dances; and most of all she is naturally FUNNY. In seven years, Roz G has accomplished the goals that other comedians take many years to do. Outstandingly funny females are hard to find but she is definitely moving and shaking to the next level. Roz G is best known for her appearance on NBC's Last Comic Standing.

Wheaton, Ill. - After taking a quick 2-0 early in the first half, Carthage College looked in prime position to spoil Wheaton College's Homecoming game.
But the No. 17-ranked Thunder men's soccer team came roaring back to tie the score by halftime and pulled out the victory in front of the nearly 1,000 fans in attendance by a score of 3-2 on Friday.
Wheaton improved to 10-3-0 and 2-1-0 in CCIW action while Carthage fell to 2-6-4 overall and 1-2-0 in conference.
A persistent rain during the day finally faded away by game time. Despite temperatures in the 40s, it didn't take long for the Red Men to warm up on offense. Aleks Urosevic opened the scoring at 5:29 into the game as he got behind his defender and headed in the cross right in front of the box. Six minutes later, Wheaton got called for a foul in the box and Andew Gamarra responded with a penalty kick goal to put Carthage up 2-0.
The deficit pushed the Wheaton offense into aggressive attack mode immediately. At 15:20, the Thunder scored off a Cory Weaver free kick that was quickly passed from Matt Swartz to Drew Golz, who one touched the ball past the goalie in front of the net to make it 2-1.
The pressure paid off again as Carthage committed their own foul in the box at 34:39 in the first half. Swartz easily slotted the ball past the keeper to knot the score at 2-2.
The Thunder owned a 15-13 shot advantage while the Red Men held the corner kick advantage 6-5. Ryan Seager got the win while making three saves. Taao Scarnato took the loss while making four saves.

First, we need a database table with the right kind of data types for storing various information about the uploaded file. At a minimum, we need the the file name, the MIME type and the actual binary data.
The file name and MIME types are both strings, so nvarchar will do for those. The MIME type describes the type of content contained in the file, so a text file would have a MIME type of text/plain. An html file will have a MIME type of text/html. Images generally have an image/ prefix to their MIME type - image/jpg, image/gif etc. Files specific to certain applications have application/ as their prefix: application/vnd.ms-excel or application/vnd.ms-powerpoint. A catch-all MIME type of application/octet-stream covers many other file types, and just tells the browser "this is binary data of some kind". the MIME type is also known as the content-type. The best data type in SQL Server CE for binary data is the image data type. Note - it's not just image files that can stored here, it's any kind of binary data.
You will need to add the FileUpload helper to your site. This is available from the Package Manager as part of ASP.NET Web Pages Helpers.
Add a new page and call it upload.cshtml. This page will contain the file upload so that users can get their files to the web server. It will also save those files to the database, and in the case of an image, display the result, or with other file types, it will display a link to the newly saved file. There is a helper method for creating file uploads, FileUpload.GetHtml():
@FileUpload.GetHtml( initialNumberOfFiles:1, allowMoreFilesToBeAdded:false, includeFormTag:true, uploadText:"Upload")
The helper lets you specify the number of initial uploads you want to display, whether you would like to allow the user to dynamically create more of them, whether you want the whole thing wrapped in form tags and what you would like as the text on the second button. You cannot change the text on the Browse button. If you are displaying the upload as part of an existing form, you should set includeFormTag to false. Since it is on its own, I am setting it to true so that the form tags render. At the moment, when you run the page, you are presented with the file upload, and it works. However, nothing happens with the uploaded file. Some code is needed.
When working with files, you will generally need to reference System.IO as that is the set of classes that has methods for working specifically with file objects. That needs to be referenced at the top of the page. If files are uploaded, they can be accessed via the Request.Files collection, which has a zero-based index. If one file is uploaded, it will be available in Request.Files[0]. If files multiple are available, the first is at Request.Files[0], the second at Request.Files[1] and so on. Request.Files has a Count property, which returns the actual number of files. In this example, we only need to worry about one file, so Request.Files[0] will get it for us, but only if the form has been submitted. Of course it is possible that someone submits the form without selecting a file. We will test for that condition too.
If there is a file there, we need three pieces of data - it's name, it's type (MIME) and the actual binary data that constitutes the file. That all gets added to the database. Here's the full code for the top of upload.cshtml:
@{ int id = 0; var fileName = ""; var fileMime = ""; if (IsPost) { var uploadedFile = Request.Files[0]; fileName = Path.GetFileName(uploadedFile.FileName); if(fileName != String.Empty) { fileMime = uploadedFile.ContentType; var fileStream = uploadedFile.InputStream; var fileLength = uploadedFile.ContentLength; byte[] fileContent = new byte[fileLength]; fileStream.Read(fileContent, 0, fileLength); var db = Database.Open("FileUploading"); var sql = "INSERT INTO Files (FileName, FileContent, MimeType) VALUES (@0,@1,@2)"; db.Execute(sql, fileName, fileContent, fileMime); id = (int)db.GetLastInsertId(); } } }
The final line of code gets the identity value of the most recently added row in the database and applies it to the id variable. That's used much further down the page where this code appears:
@if (IsPost && fileName != String.Empty) { File uploaded!
 if(fileMime.StartsWith("image")){  } else { Click Here } }
This code, which goes below the file upload code, checks to see if the form has been posted back, and if there was a file. If it has and there is, it will look at the content type, and if it's an image, write an img element to the browser, with the src attribute pointing to another file (download.cshtml) and passing in the new id as a querystring value. This means that the newly added image is displayed. If the file isn't an image, the code writes a hyperlink to the page, again pointing the download.cshtml with a querystring value. Clicking the link will result in the file being downloaded. We'll look at the code in download.cshtml next:
@{ int id = 0; if(Request["Id"].IsInt()){ id = Request["Id"].AsInt(); var db = Database.Open("FileUploading"); var sql = "Select * From Files Where FileId = @0"; var file = db.QuerySingle(sql, id); if(file.MimeType.StartsWith("image/")){ Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline; filename=" + file.FileName); } else { Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + file.FileName); } Response.ContentType = file.MimeType; Response.BinaryWrite((byte[])file.FileContent); } }
When this file is requested, if there is a valid value in the query string, the matching file data is obtained from the database. A Response header is added. If the file is an image, the content-disposition value is set to inline, otherwise it is set to attachment. Then the binary data is written to the Response, resulting in the file being delivered to the user.
A download which includes the code for both files and the database is available here.

In the crudest possible way, one that veers dangerously close to Spinal Tap territory, the cover art for Asking Alexandria's new album, From Death to Destiny, illustrates the band members' changed priorities since they started working on the disc.
"A lot of bands in our genre are happy where they're at, and that's fine," says Ben Bruce, guitarist for British metalcore unit Asking Alexandria. "But it's time for us to move upward and bring our fans into a new realm."
This month, Asking Alexandra began headlining the fourth annual Monster Energy Outbreak Festival. The dates bring to a close the band's 2012 tour, finalizing well over a year and a half on the road behind their most recent album and sophomore full-length disc, Reckless and Relentless.
Can you believe it's been a year since this Guitar Girl'd column was born? To celebrate, I thought it only fitting to resurrect my favorite column of the last 52 weeks: my list of the top 10 hot male guitar players. Yep, last year when I broke this concept, I admit I was a bit perturbed by all those lists of hot female guitarists … with the word "hot" not defining their scathing performance skills. Oh no!
They never play by the rules, and their nasty reputation takes them everywhere. Meet Asking Alexandria, including guitarists Ben Bruce, left, and Cameron Liddell.

Product description
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. Born a poor black tobacco farmer, her cancer cells - taken without her knowledge - became a multimillion-dollar industry and one of the most important tools in medicine. Yet Henrietta's family did not learn of her 'immortality' until more than twenty years after her death, with devastating consequences ...Balancing the beauty and drama of scientific discovery with dark questions about who owns the stuff our bodies are made of, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" is an extraordinary journey in search of the soul and story of a real woman, whose cells live on today in all four corners of the world. "A fascinating, harrowing, necessary book". (Hilary Mantel, "Guardian"). "A heartbreaking account of racism and injustice". ("Metro"). "A fine book...a gripping read...The book has deservedly been a huge bestseller in the US. It should be here, too". ("Sunday Times").

Customer reviews
By Tracy Hudson 03 Apr 2011
This book details how Henrietta Lacks (or HeLa) had a phenomenal effect on medical research. Unfortunately it was only through her death that this happened and it is sad that her family were never fully informed of what was happening or developments that her mother helped to uncover. I think this is a great story and certainly tarnishes medical research methods.

New Republic editor James Kirchick has written a provocative piece in The Advocate detailing alleged anti-gay incidents or remarks, in his view, of various liberals including former Sen. John Edwards, D-NC, Gov. Bill Richardson, Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., and others.
Citing comments made by former Ambassador Joe Wilson, and Sen. Barack Obama's tour with "cured" gospel singer Donnie McClurkin, among others, Kirchick hammers "an attitude among straight liberals for whom gay rights is not a signature issue" who, "in the course of political debate they have the opportunity to denigrate gays for political advantage (or are forced to contend with a gay person who does not share their views), they won't think twice about saying things that, were they to come out of the mouth of a conservative, would immediately be labeled 'homophobic'."
He posits the hypothetical: what if Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., had confessed to being "not comfortable" around "those people" (a charge made about Edwards by his former adviser Bob Shrum, though Edwards denies it), handed a microphone to Donnie McClurkin (as Obama did), "cast aspersions about the sexuality of political opponents" (a liberal pundit) "or just openly called someone a 'fruitcake,'" (Stark) "the denunciations from liberals would be swift and unforgiving. Yet Democrats in particular and liberals more broadly always get a pass."

Your feedback
The letter of the week is from Francesca in response to our talkback 'What did you do with your degree?'
I have the highest esteem for education and think that in an ideal society everyone would have the opportunity to attend university. Those skills that many of your callers are highlighting: critical thinking, adaptability, learning to learn, are the key skills that graduates have above and beyond their subject specific knowledge.
I do think however that there is a disconnect between universities, expectations and the workforce. I have heard many anecdotal stories of employers not wanting to hire graduates because they have no practical experience. I think there is an insidious and systemic discrimination or suspiciousness of highly educated people in this country and a desire to return to the pre-Gough Whitlam era of education being commensurate to a class system.
I also think that part of the problem is equating education with employability - the 'job ready' motto has to some extent reduced tertiary education to a set of trade skills. This is of course confounded by universities treating education as a business and being pressured or expected to make a profit, like any other corporation.

Indeed, Francesca. Do you know how the 485 visa scheme works?

I am reminded of a joke which Alan Pease collected which does illustrate the attitude of many employers to some university graduates. It is a hard-headed attitude based in the fact that a universtiy education doesn't necessarily give a graduate initiative, curiosity and determination to do their best. And this means that further sorting of the graduates is necessary if you are to get something useful to your business.
A university graduate had just arrived for his first day's work. The manager gave him a broom and asked him to tidy up the office.
"But I'm a Univertisy graduate!", protested the young man.
"I'm so sorry. I just wasn't thinking", apologised the manager and added. "I'll call someone to show you how to do it."
This is more tersely stated by my mum who only went to 6th class but could sort the sheep from the goats. "Anyone who says 'You're a goat' is no fool."

The details of this hotel is amazing! The staff Outstanding ,definitely a 10!
No indoor pool.
last minute travel for a great price at a great location
easy check in, great staff good place to stay
No guest computer to access, hotel lobby, elevator, carpet in hallways and guest room dirty, walls need repainting, and washer/dryers need to be cleaned and sanitized, in addition, guests bath sink, shower, toilet awful smell, need cleaning and sanitized to meet health and state compliance, had to spray entire bathroom amenities with foaming Lysol to clean and sanitize before usage. Shower curtains and towels have a mold mildew smell, bed linen too.
Only one computer to all guess, computer was inaccessible, taken away by the hotel due to a virus. No recliner in my room, staff did bring one to my room, which was very nice of them to do. Also, toilet backed up, carpet in room, hallways, and elevator dirty need a good shampoo and vacuum, rid of insects in the carpet of my room, constantly scratching from rug mice or ??, I don't know what it was, but it was biting me a lot!! Facility need overhaul of wall cleaning and repainting, which I think would definitely enhance the appearance of the facility, NEW PAINT FOR EVERY ROOM, HALLWAYS AND guest entrance to lobby, A GOOD CLEANING!!! Staff, very accommodating and friendly, a PLUS for me to return.
Location was great, very quite, friendly staff and wonderful service. I highly recommend Candlewood Suites. *****
Staff was friendly at front desk, and offered extra member points for the inconveniences we experienced. Room was really nice and had everything we needed.
Fire alarms went off on one if the days... Stayed on a while. Also, cleaning crew on day of check out was extremely pushy; knocked on our door 4 times before checkout time to try to clean the room early. Tried walking in as we slept, luckily we had the metal latch over the door preventing them from coming in.
bed very uncomfotable ac no good room no very clean room smell like cigar very back experience
Small Bed
A very customer-centric leader; Spacious and well equipped.
Didn't realize it is NOT co-located/a stone throw away from Arundel Mills mall; Safe (in the closet) dysfunctional.
Very convenient location beside the airport suited us great for our late arrival into BWI. The suite was excellent, facilities great and staff helpful. We'd use this hotel again..
Two things: The receptionist on duty the night we arrived after a long day of travel, must have had a bad day as she made us anything but welcome. Second, although 'no smoking' there was a smell of smoke on entering the room.
Sent this in already .
Shuttle and laundry
slow internet
Front desk girl during mornings/noon was great. Very nice and super friendly.
It was all good.
Suite was nice and the amenities were great
We reserved a King Studio online but we received a Queen Studio when we arrived. The shower did not drain properly so it filled up while you were showing and took hours to drain. Resulting in a disguisting shower later. We found out they only clean your room or change linens or towels once a week, but they will exchange towels upon request. Horrible - I have never been to a hotel where they have once a week service. There was a horrible smell in the hallways when we entered the hotel at night - front desk blamed it on other guests. We will not use them again.
The Staff was extremely competent and professional. I had no wait time at check in. Everything exceeded my expectations.
No breakfast and pull out was better than the bed
good location to the airport, grocery stores and good access for connecting highways to downtown Baltimore.
The bed was a joke. Thought at any minute it would snap in half. The in-room coffee maker was broke. Lighting was very dim in room
Close to Baltimore (7 miles) and easy access. Staff friendly and helpful. Room clean. Airport 5 minutes down the road. Room was quiet....no mentionable air traffic noise...
Minor items , you asked. Sun in the morning getting past the curtains. Leaked past the edges to brighten the room. The handy cap bath room had very limited shelf space and anything set on the sink top ended up in it.
Ease of getting to airport.
Front desk upon checkout was not helpful. I booked through s third party and was informed by the desk that they were unable to give me s receipt. Upon calling later and speaking to another employee I was told ihe will send myvrecript via email.We'll see if that happens.
Shuttle service Newspaper
Fitness machined need upgrade
Suites too small
Very comfortable. The staff took care of any issues quickly and with care. Great crew.

EMPORIA, Kan. (WIBW) - An area reservoir will soon have some extra storage space.
Governor Sam Brownback signed a contract Thursday allowing for some much needed water reallocation to the John Redmond Reservoir near Emporia.
The contract will secure an additional 17,000 acre-feet of water storage at the reservoir, and raise the lake level two feet, helping distribute sediment across the area.
Governor Sam Brownback said the contract means residents won't have to worry as much during a dry spell.
"In this last year, everybody was getting scared because things were getting low in our reservoirs and we didn't have the water capacity and people were going to have to start getting shut off if we didn't get some rain, we got rain," said Brownback.
The Kansas Water Office plans to begin dredging the sediment in the reservoir through a phased approach in 2014.

Miranda Hay, Shelter President of the Humane Society of Sullivan County in Sullivan, Indiana, participated in a recent One Picture Saves A Life workshop. Along with getting tips from celebrity pet photographer Seth Casteel, she received new software to help post stories of pets like Daisy, courtesy of GreaterGood.org and the One Picture Saves sponsors.
"I went to the shelter to take pictures of the new intake dogs that were ready for adoption," she wrote to GreaterGood.org. "Daisy was so easy to photograph with her facial expressions and 'head tilt' with the squeaker! I went home and did some quick editing with Photoshop Elements and posted the pictures to our Facebook page around 9 p.m."
That night, a family spotted Daisy's picture and story. "They came to our shelter the next day and adopted her as soon as we opened! Daisy now has a wonderful family, including two children, two other Boxer siblings and ten acres to run and play," said Hay. "This is a true testament that One Picture Saves a Life, and in Daisy's case, in one day!"
One Picture Saves A Life is a signature program of GreaterGood.org, supported by The Animal Rescue Site and other corporate sponsors.
Tips on how to photography pets for adoption can be found in the Learning Videos section of OnePictureSaves.com. Be sure to check the site for more stories of photographers and the pets that they helped save.
The next One Picture Saves A Life event will be held on Nov. 2 in Texas.

69% of Employers Plan to Offer Healthcare Coverage After 2014
It also provides some relief from consistent concerns that the PPACA will contribute to higher unemployment. Few organizations report that they are changing their workforce hiring or reduction strategies as a result of healthcare reform. Only 16% have adjusted or plan to adjust hours so fewer employees qualify as full-time.
The IFEBP survey results demonstrate that employers have developed some level of comfort with the healthcare reform law. In the 2012 survey, 31% of respondents were still taking a "wait and see" approach to the PPACA. By 2013 only 10% were still sitting on the fence.
In a telephone interview, Julie Stich, research director for the Milwaukee-based International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, credited the Supreme Court decision affirming the healthcare law and the end of the election season with putting employers in a "move on" frame of mind. "There's more certainty now among employers regarding how employee healthcare coverage will be affected," she adds.
Employers are now taking a more proactive approach to incorporate PPACA rules and regulations into their business models. The actions most frequently mentioned by survey respondents:
- Developing tactics to deal with the implications of healthcare reform (52%)
- implementing changes to make their health plans compliant (39%)
- Developing multiyear approaches to reform (38%)
- Modeling the financial impact of the ACA on their organization (37%)
Cost containment is critical as "employers across the country… deal with the impact of implementing the PPACA while still being able to provide competitive benefits for their employees," says Stich.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Hi Rik, sorry for the delay.
I've been corresponding with Pat Gilbert about message 49 on this board. I think Pat and I now agree:
- Harmon was a son of John C Bresee and Elizabeth Rossman, a brother to Jeremiah.
- Esther was not a child of Jeremiah and Malinda. We're not sure who her parents were, but she didn't belong on that list.
- Malinda, wife of Jeremiah, was surnamed 'Hawkins', which explains them having a son named Hawkins (which was always a mystery to me). I've updated my file.
I've accepted that Almyra, wife of Caleb Crandall, was also a daughter to Jeremiah and Malinda, and have put her on my list. Pat and I haven't reached that point in our discussions yet.
I want to thank you for your input. As a result, we're still working out differences between our files. Give us a few days to further discussions, then communicate with either Pat or me. I think we'll iron out a new list of Jeremiah and Malinda's children by then.
Thanks again

Is the cultural capital of Karnataka set to break into the list of metropolitan cities of India based on its population figures?
The question assumes significance in view of Census 2011 which will commence from April 15. Mysore, the population of which was pegged at 7.10 lakh in the Census 2001, has been projected to cross the 10 lakh or the one-million mark.
The projected population figure is based on the population growth index of 22.2 per cent for Mysore, according to Deputy Commissioner P. Manivannan.
Additional benefits
If Census 2011 does establish Mysore's population at one million, then it will join 35 other such cities in India which have the "metropolitan" tag and can expect to reap a slew of additional benefits.
A few more cities and towns in the State, the population of which are hovering around the one-million mark, may also enter the revised list.
Government Order
But the Union government and State government employees who are looking forward to an enhanced House Rent Allowance (HRA) are in for a disappointment. For, a Government Order has classified cities under Groups A to E based on the population figures.
Accordingly, cities with a population of 16 lakh and above have been graded A with a sanctioned HRA of 20 per cent of the basic pay, while cities with a population of 8 lakh to 16 lakh have been categorised as B1 cities while B2 cities have a population between 4 lakh and 8 lakh with a sanctioned HRA rate of 15 per cent.
Cities graded as C have a population ranging from 50,000 to 4 lakh with an HRA of 9 per cent while D cities have a population ranging from 25,000 to 50,000 with an HRA of 6 per cent. Urban centres with a population less than 25,000 are classified under E category with an HRA of 5 per cent.
If the above GO issued in 1999 continues to be the yardstick for calculating the HRA, government employees in Mysore and other cities in the State may not benefit even if the city is re-classified under B1 category, up from its present status of a B2 city.
More funding
However, the city can expect additional funding if it receives the "metropolitan" tag. The Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India, for instance has proposed establishing and developing satellite townships to act as a counter-magnet in cities with one million-plus population.
The Constitution also mandates the formation of a Metropolitan Planning Committee to prepare a draft development plan for the metropolitan area.
The Government anticipates the number of metropolitan cities to increase from 35 to 50 based on the projected population of Census 2011, which means renewed focus on urban infrastructure development.
The number of "metropolitan" cities with a population of over one million after the 1991 census was 23.
While the Mysore city population is expected to cross the one-million mark, the district population figures have been pegged at 30 lakh, while it was 26.4 lakh after Census 2001.
