Check Processing Consolidation at EROC
| June 11, 1996
|Circular No. 10853
Conforming Amendments to
To All Depository Institutions, and Others Concerned, in the Second Federal Reserve District:
Effective October 15, 1996, the final phase of the consolidation at our East Rutherford Operations Center (EROC) of all downstate New York check processing operations will be completed. At that time, we will discontinue processing checks at our Jericho Office and will incorporate the Jericho check processing territory into the East Rutherford check processing territory.
Accordingly, the routing number list in Appendix A of Regulation CC (Availability of Funds and Collection of Checks) is being changed to reflect this consolidation. In addition, the reference in Appendix B to routing numbers formerly assigned to the Jericho Office that were subject to a reduced availability schedule for depositary banks in the East Rutherford check processing territory is being deleted, because those routing numbers will be all "local" with respect to the East Rutherford check processing territory.
The consolidation of check-processing regions may require some banks to adjust their internal procedures for assigning funds availability. Banks also need to reflect any availability policy changes in their disclosures, as the availability for certain checks may be improved.
The text of the amendments, is published in the Federal Register of May 21.
Questions on this matter may be directed to the individuals listed below.

What Average Investors Should Do In Market Panics and Melt Downs
- Posted by Jeff Carter
- on June 2nd, 2012
This post isn't designed for the active day trader. It's designed for the average investor. The American that works a job, saves their money for retirement in a 401(k).
You open the newspaper or turn on the business news and you read headlines that are not optimistic. When you look at the economic indicators on a macro level, they aren't positive. World wide, you see Europe imploding, India slowing, and China slowing. This isn't a bullish scenerio.
US Unemployment Rate data by YCharts
Ask yourself a few questions? First, what's your time horizon? How soon do you need the money? If you are in your early fifties or younger, the odds of you retiring in the next ten years are slim. If you are in your later fifties, you may see retirement coming. Older people should have less money in the market, but now isn't the time to pull it out.
The second question you have to ask yourself is this, "Am I smarter than the market?". Everyone thinks they are pretty smart. However, do you know more about a particular stock than the market does? The stock market has millions of players each acting in their own interest on their own information. How are you smarter than all of them combined? The answer is you aren't.
A long time ago, back in 1965, Eugene Fama proposed a theory. Over the course of time, many academics have tried to puncture his theory. Market analysts and Wall Street types had an economic incentive to disprove the theory. If you follow Fama, you win. You beat everyone else in the market, but you don't beat the market itself.
Don't pick individual stocks. Making money in them is like doing heroin. It feels good for awhile, but then the habit gets ever more expensive. Eventually, you lose.
Instead, take your money and put it in a no load mutual fund that replicates the broad indexes, like the S&P 500, the Russell 2000 or something like that. Over the long haul, you won't lose. You also won't pay many fees. Investing is practically free.
Once you put your money into a fund like that, ignore the news. Don't look at the day to day gyrations of the market. Just consistently put money away. When the market dives like it has the past few days, you are buying cheaper. When it rallies like it did earlier this year, you are buying at a higher price. But the sum of your actions will be an even price over time and your money will grow at around an 8% clip. When you are old and gray, you will have a nice nest egg to spend on yourself at retirement.
The problem with this approach is human emotion. All around you there are ads begging for your cash. They try to create uncertainty in your system. Friends at parties may talk about their last big score. This weekend you might hear, "I bought puts on the market and doubled my money.". Ignore them. Doing things like that is for the pros. Believe me, we don't make money every day, or even every year. If it was that easy, there would be more of us doing it.
Every year in his investor letter, Warren Buffett gives the same advice I just gave above. He knows markets. Even he doesn't beat it every year. The reason he does so well is that he buys at a price the market never sees. He also has so much cash, he can afford to buy and sit….for years and years. As a matter of fact, he has no intention of ever selling.
If you are in single stocks, sell them. Take the money and buy the entire market. In twenty years, you will be glad you did.

There's no wrong way to love someone — unless that way involves knives or excessive amounts of self-loathing — but there is a wrong way to propose. Actually, there are many wrong ways. They include flash mobs, pregnancy scares, and Tumblr. This is the beginning of a life long commitment, and it doesn't have to be perfect, yet it needs to not be shitty.

The problem is that there are often labels (without polygons) of a variety of sizes and covering small and large areas. Any recommendations how how to digitize this info?
Options I've considered--
--Add a point feature where the middle of the label is
--Estimate the polygon that the label would cover
--Enter it into the GIS as annotation (but then you can't do queries on it nor apply domain rules)

Is it right to shoot the poor prostitute or a woman who is unfaithful to her husband, or a man who loves another man?
But this will not do, God will certainly punish you for stealing and for being unfaithful.
We cannot certainly, have any excuse either for taking any thing that belongs to our masters without their leave, or for being unfaithful in their business.
Never be unfaithful to a lover, except with your wife.
No lover, if he be of good faith, and sincere, will deny he would prefer to see his mistress dead than unfaithful.
But go on, valiant champion; you die not as a fool, though the apostate, unfaithful, and lukewarm ministers and professors of this generation think and say so.
It is better to be unfaithful than to be faithful without wanting to be.
It's better to be unfaithful than faithful without wanting to be.
In relation to a writer, most readers believe in the Double Standard: they may be unfaithful to him as often as they like, but he must never, never be unfaithful to them.
The original is unfaithful to the translation.
America is like an unfaithful love who promises us more than we got.
Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.
My affections are easily swayed and I can be very unfaithful.
We have come to a turning point in the road. If we turn to the right mayhap our children and our children's children will go that way; but if we turn to the left, generations yet unborn will curse our names for having been unfaithful to God and to His Word.
In modern usage a cuckold is the husband of an unfaithful wife - a far nastier and more humiliating state, apparently than being the wife of a philanderer, for which in fact no word exists.
She writes a lot about the abandoning father. The unfaithful male. I've told her that the next time she does that in a play, she should give it to someone else. I love her and I love what she does, but I've been frank with her. I can't deal with it anymore. Those are not the black men that I know.
In the course of your relationship with Nicole, you were unfaithful to her?
The idea of a federally paid sex policeman spending millions of dollars to trap an unfaithful spouse or (to) police civil ... litigation would have been unthinkable prior to the Starr investigation.
I haven't been unfaithful, well only when I was younger!
A number of years ago, I was unfaithful to my wife, Laura. I am completely responsible for what happened -- it was entirely my fault.
I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.

What are the side effects of oral contrast for ct scan??
Not Medical Advice:
Some side effects of using contrast materials include: itching, hives, swelling of the throat, nausea and vomiting, headache, abnormal heart rhythms, and convulsions. Contrast materials are considered to be safe drugs, however, adverse reactions can occur, but severe reactions are uncommon.
Contrast materials, contrast agents, or contrast media are used to improve pictures of the inside of the body and allow the radiologist to distinguish normal from abnormal conditions. They are commonly used with x-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and ultrasound. They temporarily change the way imaging tools view the body, but they don't permanently discolor internal organs. Contrast materials can be taken orally, rectally, or intravenously and are eliminated through urine or bowel movements.

Southeast Susitna Area Plan
On April 28, 2008 the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources adopted the Southeast Susitna Area Plan. The plan establishes land use designations, management intent and management guidelines for more than 250,000 acres of state uplands, shorelands and tidelands in the lower Susitna Valley from Palmer to Talkeetna. This plan supersedes the 1982 Willow Sub-Basin Area Plan; a portion of the South Parks Highway Subregion of the Susitna Area Plan (1985); the Deception Creek Land Use Plan (1989); and the Kashwitna Management Plan (1991). It did not, however, supersede the Fish Creek Management Plan. The borough and state revised this plan in 2009 and this plan controls within its planning area.
After plan adoption in 2008 there were seven requests for reconsideration. A document titled "Issues Reconsidered by Commissioner April 2009" compiles the issues raised and the resultant changes to the plan. The final plan published below incorporates the changes made by the commissioner in April 2009.
Copies of the final plan are available for reference at local libraries. Printed copies of the final plan can be purchased from the DNR Public Information Center at 550 West 7th Avenue, Suite 1260, Anchorage, AK 99501. If you would like a CD containing the final plan to be mailed to you, or for questions please contact Ruth Booth at firstname.lastname@example.com.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A serious accident on Interstate 295 involving a construction crew had all northbound lanes blocked and caused major delays for morning drivers with backup for miles.
Lt. Bill Leeper with the Florida Highway Patrol said the accident happened around 6 a.m. near the Collins Road overpass when a construction crew in a pickup truck was finishing up work and gathering cones from the roadway. FHP said the driver of another vehicle slammed into the back of their truck and forced both vehicles into the guardrail.
Leeper said the construction worker picking up the cones was able to jump out of the way and was not seriously hurt. But the driver of the other vehicle was trapped and emergency crews shut down the northbound lanes as they responded to the scene.
That driver was eventually transported to the hospital, according to Leeper, but fortunately there are no serious injuries involved in this crash.
According to FHP, all lanes reopened around 7:50 a.m. but this accident caused major morning backup for miles. Drivers on I-295 are slowly gaining speed after nearly two hours of standstill traffic.

Linguine, mean "little tongues" in Italian, are long, flat noodles. In this recipe, they are teamed with fresh clams in a creamy white wine and parsley sauce. A little time-consuming to make, but well worth the effort.
- 4 pounds fresh littleneck or cherrystone clams
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 large stalk celery, thinly sliced
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 8 stems of fresh parsley
- 8 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 1 cup sliced button mushrooms
- 3 cups dry white wine
- Olive oil
- 1 pound dried linguine
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Wash the clams, then soak for 1 hour in cold water, changing the water several times. While the clams are soaking, melt the 1/3 cup butter in a large stockpot. Add the onion and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, then add the celery, thyme, bay leaf, parsley stems, garlic, mushrooms and wine. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Add the drained clams and cook, covered, for 5-8 minutes (15-20 minutes for large clams), or until they open. Remove the clams with a slotted spoon, discarding any that are unopened, and set aside to cool. Remove the meat from half the clam shells, rinse under cold water, drain and coarsely chop. Boil the sauce for another 10 minutes, then strain through a strainer lined with damp cheesecloth. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add a splash of oil to stop the pasta from sticking and cook the linguine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Drain well, toss with a little olive oil and keep warm.
Over low heat, melt the 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the reserved cooking liquid. Return to the heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened. Whisk in the cream and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add the whole and chopped clams, parsley and some salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds and serve over the linguine.
Chef's tips: Small clams are less tough than large clams.

Where do the borders between chamber music and concertante works run? At what point does pedagogical music become a work of art? The wonderful new GENUIN release by the Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie featuring cellist Benedict Klöckner provides musical answers to these questions and does so without losing too much breath over it... The two versions of the Schumann cello concerto recorded here, impressively highlight the young cello soloist, whose performance never sacrifices the intimacy of the most Romantic of all cello concertos on the altar of technical brilliance. Hearing the concerto as a cello quartet will be a novel experience to many. A first on the CD release: the version for cello and chamber orchestra. An inspiration to all lovers of classical music!
"...What this new recording offers is a beautifully recorded full sound and fine, rhythmically powerful, passionate performances in arrangements many listeners will not previously have heard."
Michael Ullman - Fanfare - September/October 2012

All Aspects of a Car Warranty
If a car breaks down then the owner of the vehicle can be left with an expensive repair bill. One way for vehicle owners to protect themselves against an unexpected cost like this is to take out an extended vehicle warranty. This will cover any repairs that need to be made to the car in the event of a breakdown. The owner of a vehicle will usually pay a monthly fee, which is often more affordable than finding a large payment that has to made to an auto shop after repair work has been carried out on the car. The disadvantage of this is that if the car never needs any repairs then money would have been paid out for nothing. However, as cars get older then they are more likely to need work doing at some point. The longer the person owns the car, the higher the likelihood that they will eventually need to have it repaired.
The terms and conditions of a car warranty will vary depending on the company that it is taken out with. However, there are certain conditions which most companies will have in common as they are seen to be standard across the industry. When a person is considering whether to take out a car warranty, consideration should be given to whether they think they will be able to meet these conditions.
Use Of Approved Garages
While most companies will not prevent the owner of the car from taking it to a shop of their choice to have any repairs carried out, they will often have a list of recommended garages that they would prefer the car to be taken to. The advantage for the car owner of taking the car to a recommended garage is that the warranty company would pay this garage directly for any work that has been done on the vehicle. If the car is taken to a garage that has not been approved by the company then the car owner may have to pay for the work themselves and then be reimbursed once they have made a claim to the warranty company.
Wear And Tear May Not Be Included
If the cause of a car breakdown is down to wear and tear of a part, rather than due to a fault then the repair of this part may not be covered by the warranty, which means that it becomes the responsibility of the owner to pay for any work that has been carried out on the vehicle. Some companies will include an option to include cover for breakdowns caused by wear and tear. This may slightly increase the monthly payments but can be more cost-effective in the long run, especially for older vehicles.
There May Be Requirements To Get The Car Serviced
An annual service may be required by some companies in order to validate the cover they offer. This is a precaution that they take in order to ensure that the vehicle is being properly looked after. If a claim is made then the company may ask to see proof of the latest service before they will pay the claim out. More information can be found on BestReviewsHub.com

The bogolon or bogolan is a textile dyed by hand in West Africa, mainly wooven in Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea.
The term "bogolan" originates in the Bambara language of the biggest ethnic group in Mali, in which the word "bogo" means "earth" and "lan" means "with".
The fabric of bogolan is a coarse cotton fabric, spun and woven in a dozen centimeters band over a length of several meters. These bands are dyed after a first sewn edge to edge to form pieces of cloth of varying dimensions.
After a basic dye obtained from ocher earth, tissues are again worked with dyes or mineral plant decoctions obtained from leaves or bark of trees crushed and mixed with potash or soda.
The fabrics are then richly decorated and used locally to make warm clothing, most famous of them all the traditional Dogons clothes. In Europe you use bogolans most often as decorative draperies or rugs.
Africouleur markets bogolans of various sizes, mainly large pieces of 3m by 1m30.

Ubisoft has confirmed that one of its big upcoming Nintendo Wii U exclusives, Rayman Legends, will also be released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this September.
Rayman Origins impressed millions of players from all around the world across many different platforms, from the PS3 and Xbox 360 to the PC, Nintendo 3DS or PS Vita.
Even so, Ubisoft surprised a lot of fans by confirming that Rayman Legends, the successor to the colorful puzzle platformer, will be released only on the Wii U.
After a recent delay until September, Ubisoft has now revealed that Rayman Legends will hit other platforms besides the Wii U, in the form of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
According to the company, lots of Rayman fans who own the two consoles have expressed their desire for the new game to appear on their platforms.
"We heard from many Xbox & Playstation owners and Rayman fans who told us they really wanted to play Rayman Legends on their current system," Geoffroy Sardin, EMEA Chief Marketing & Sales Officer, said in an official statement. "We decided to give the fans what they wanted while at the same time broadening the audience exposed to this innovative and memorable game."
Ubisoft also posted a brand new description of the game, hyping up its different features, from the same great hectic puzzle platforming experience to its stunning environments and visual design.
"Rayman Legends retains the fantasy appeal of its predecessor while adding a multitude of clever and entertaining gaming modes, new characters, new environments and a new soundtrack. The award-winning team of artists, designers and composers from Origins has also returned with an advanced UbiArt engine to include multi-dimension gameplay elements, an improved lighting system and updated game rendering that elevate Rayman's graphics to the next level."
Rayman Legends is now set to appear on the Nintendo Wii U, PS3, and Xbox 360 this September.

Ferrari strikes a new note with the SP12 EC. That's EC as in Eric Clapton
A blank canvas waiting to be painted over, a score begging for perfect notes: a unique one-off car for Eric Clapton
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
A Ferrari enthusiast and musician of Eric Clapton's stature deserves a unique car and that's what we've given him.
Designed by the Ferrari Style Centre in collaboration with Pininfarina and Maranello's own engineers, the SP12 EC was created as an homage to Clapton's career and his long history as a Ferrari owner.
Over the years, the guitarist's favourite model has been the Ferrari 512 BB, of which he's owned no less than three examples.
What he wanted therefore was to be able to drive a car inspired by that very model but which also took the multi-award-winning 458 Italia as a reference point.
The result is the SP12 EC. This one-off project's proportions and architecture have been reworked down to the tiniest detail both in terms of their styling and technology. Another plus for an already exceptional car created like a piece of music: note by note, until it all came together as perfect symphony of Ferrari achievement.
The English musician said that embarking on the project was like "being in front of a gigantic blank canvas that had to be painted on" and that being involved with the birth and development of the car was "an incredible experience, one of the most satisfying things I've ever done". As unique and unrepeatable as the SP12 EC.

Does That Hill Turn a Corner?Submitted by Arizona Phil on Fri, 07/04/2008 - 4:37pm
The AZL Cubs defeated the AZL A's 3-2 at Fitch Park Field #3 this morning.
The game featured another fine outing by RHP Julio Pena, and the victory was probably saved by a nifty 6-4-3 DP to end the top of the 8th inning, started with a super stop by SS Junior Lake, then a quick flip with a fast turn by 2B George Matheus, and completed with a nice stretch by 1B Sean Hoorelbeke. Too bad AZL games aren't televised, because that one would have made the highlight reel!
Today's AZL Cubs offensive heroes were RF Nelson Perez (a double and an RBI single) and catcher Jose Guevara (a double and RBI single through a drawn-in infield).
Prior to the game, Rich Hill threw a simulated game that featured his new delivery, and it looks like he may actually have found the cure for his version of Steve Blass Disease.
Recent comments
Ride the Kid Magic! Schwarber hadn't homered in a long time before last night.
Greg Maddux was 8-18 in his rookie season. Kyle has the 8 wins down pat.
Think Baby Maddux.
Prof. Harold Hill's THINK system at work.
Kyle is on the far left.
I support this. Hendricks has not only looked better lately but seems to start struggling after a few innings which is better than the 1st in the playoffs.
Just tweeted via Jesse Rogers: Hendricks starting Game 2. Wow. Just wow.
That was good!
Well said. On one hand, I thought the HBP was a bad baseball play -- down 4 runs, put a runner on for a red-hot Fowler. On the other hand, they needed to do something -- I hadn't thought about the warning/pitching inside point. Is Hurdle that smart? He does not strike me that way. By the way -- not clear which fan base you are referring to in your "first" 3rd point.
My unsolicited opinions on topics covered in this thread:
1. I hate the fact that after 162 games, a team could be out after 1 game. However, I think the system is pretty close to perfect right now. 2 of 3 isn't feasible unless they shorten the regular season, and it ices the division winners for way too long. This creates excitement, and rewards the division winners.
Personally, I think the game could have had a very different look had the Pirates held onto the ball and tagged Fowler out on the steal in the first. Cole was clearly frazzled, but if they took that runner off the base, it could have relaxed him a lot.
Football games are played once a week. There are 16 games a year. I'm not even remotely following at all how you can compare the two leagues and playoff systems. It is physically impossible to play a home and away series. The idea of not having any road games in baseball playoffs is certainly a head scratcher.
How is not having the first and last game at home a benefit for the division winners and team with the best record? How is it not an incentive to win the division when a WC team has to blow their top pitcher?
Call me lost.
Two 97+ win teams in a do-or-die, great bullpens, overpowering starters, plenty of pop--hard to believe that game wouldn't be tense. A 4-0 lead is not a blowout, especially in that situation and with the Cubs' young bullpen. Not only would a defensive play here or there make a difference, but you get the win there also on the home plate umps strike zone (generous strike calls for Arrieta, including a couple Ks), and on Schwarber sitting on the right pitch at the right time.
Unbeleivable Dodgers:
I just noticed the Dodger's payroll today. It is just absurd. $300,000,000+!!
Here is where just some of their money is for 2015:
Some "Highlights"
Carl Crawford $20MM
Brandon McCarthy $17MM
Bronson Arroyo $3.5MM
Darwin B $2.2MM
Dan Haren $10MM
Matt Kemp $18MM
Brian Wilson $10MM
Ryan Webb $2.2MM
Dee Gordon $2.5MM
So I think tomorrow will be the most important test of how far we can go. We can win it all with two pitchers since Arietta has shown he can carry over his success to the post season. If Lester can be dominant also then I think we can go far no matter how Hendricks or Hammel do.
And in terms of pitching just went through to see how we could maximize Lester and Arietta and came up with this (Lester would be going on 4 days rest three times and Arietta twice):
i still can't believe that crawford contract (7/142). all that loot and years for a LF'r who's entire hitting game revolves around his legs and line-drive power. those triples that raised his value are deceptive as hell to his true power, but it helped him get paid.
there's also pause about a guy who's ob% is almost totally driven by hits rather than walks. BOS got lucky unloading that crap deal.
I think the Cubs take Berry and Soler off playoff roster and add Hammel & Ramirez. Believe Maddon will find Denorfia & Jackson defense too hard to lose.
O & B: I like the one-game Wild Card heart attack game, but I'd actually like to see a best two-out-of-three LDS played in the home parks of the two division winners with the best records, and then the LCS as a best two-out-of-three in the home park of the division winner left standing with the best record, and then let's get to the World Series already.
I...don't know. If chanting would help the Cubs beat the Cardinals in the next series or ultimately the World Series I think I'd be ok with it lol. I'm not supportive of saying insulting things to opposing fans or throwing things but loud noise and chanting seems appropriate to me.
I also grew up in France though and that kind of thing is par for the course at soccer and rugby matches and I love it. I find crowds too passive here.

|Manometric evaluation of the esophagus in patients with Behçet's disease.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18174679 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|INTRODUCTION: Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement in Behçet's disease (BD) mainly appears in mucosa and affects 5-40% of patients, however the effects of the disease on lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and esophageal contractions are not well known. The aims of this study were to evaluate esophageal motor function and to identify whether there was any specific motility pattern for patients with BD who had upper GI symptoms without endoscopic abnormality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 25 patients with BD, with a mean age of 43.1 (range 20-66) years, were admitted to our clinic whose main complaints were dyspeptic such as reflux, epigastric pain, vomiting and bloating. 25 healthy and age-matched individuals were also included in the study as controls. After one night fasting, LES pressure and esophageal contractions were measured. RESULTS: Esophageal motor abnormalities were detected in 16% (4/25) of these patients with manometric studies (non-specific esophageal motor disorder in 1, esophageal hypomotility in 2, and LES hypotension in 1 patient); 16% (4/25) of these patients had endoscopic findings and overall 32% (8/25) of the cases showed esophageal pathology. All cases with esophageal motor abnormalities were suffering from reflux and endoscopy showed grade B esophagitis in 2 of these cases. Median LES pressure and LES relaxation were significantly lower in patients with BD compared to the control group (16.8 +/- 10.5 vs. 20.4 +/- 6.1, p = 0.02, and 92.1 +/- 10.1 vs. 96.4 +/- 4.5, p = 0.03 respectively). CONCLUSION: Esophageal involvement in BD is significantly high. We propose manometric studies are necessary to evaluate esophageal manifestations in BD patients with esophageal symptoms even without endoscopic findings.

Top Tips for Camps
- Establish a mental health support network. Build relationships with community mental health resources prior to your camp season. Have professionals in place that you can contact at any time to help you with any difficult issues — such as providing grief counseling and talking with campers about community violence.
- Partner with parents. Every child and every family deals with tragedy, grief, and stress differently. Communicate with parents — especially if an event of community violence occurs while their children are in your care. Discuss with families your plans to talk with campers and staff. Offer opportunities for parents to connect with their children as they need.
- Don't lie or tell half-truths to children about a tragic event. Provide age-appropriate information. Children are bright and sensitive. They will see through false information and wonder why you do not trust them with the truth. Let children know that lots of people are helping those affected by the act of community violence — including children, adults, and families.
- Model. Children learn from watching their parents, teachers, camp staff, and other adults. They are very interested in how you respond to local and national events. They also learn from listening to your conversations with other adults.
- Create an open and supportive environment. Develop an environment where children know they can ask questions. At the same time, it's best not to force children to talk about things unless and until they're ready.
- Listen. Incidents of community violence are not easy for anyone to comprehend or accept. Understandably, some young children may feel frightened or confused. As camp staff and caring adults, we can best help by listening and responding in an honest, consistent, and supportive manner. Acknowledge and validate the child's thoughts, feelings, and reactions. Let them know that you think their questions and concerns are important and appropriate.

In his last AMBI blog posted on June 18, 2015, Wayne N. Shelton, PhD, MSW, discussed recent movement toward the professionalization of clinical ethics consultants. He noted the adoption of a Code of Ethics for Health Care Ethics Consultants by the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH), which has been praised as important milestone toward the professionalization of clinical ethics consultants. Moreover, Dr. Shelton listed several challenges that "professionals" who call themselves "clinical ethics consultants" currently face, including: "[1] how to make sense of the diverse educational backgrounds and training of those who perform clinical ethics consultations and how far to push such requirements; [2] the lack of a national body to set requirements that leaves local hospital leaders with little incentive to pay for highly qualified CECs and view this as a sound investment; and finally [3], most seriously, the way in which many problems in patient care are misidentified as clinical ethical problems while other serious clinical ethical problems may be entirely overlooked or if recognized, not viewed as requiring the expertise of a CEC." He concluded his post with: "These challenges are indications that clinical ethics consultation will not likely achieve professional status in the healthcare system in the near future." Of course, Dr. Shelton is correct in his analysis, but some might see the challenges he listed as surmountable if those who practiced clinical ethics consultation were to: (1) establish minimum uniform educational standards for new clinical ethics consultants; (2) create national certification and accreditation standards so employers would more fully understand the nature and value of their work; and (3) provide consultants themselves and other stakeholders unmistakable guidance on what clearly constitutes the work of clinical ethics consultants. (This third point sounds very much like a "scope of practice" definition found in state professional licensing statutes.) However, it may take something much more for clinical ethics consultants to be a separate professional category.
The Alden March Bioethics Institute offers a Master of Science in Bioethics, a Doctorate of Professional Studies in Bioethics, and Graduate Certificates in Clinical Ethics and Clinical Ethics Consultation. For more information on AMBI's online graduate programs, please visit our website.

Daily Prompt: That Darn Cat
Today, The Daily Prompt is: An Odd Trio. "Today, you can write about whatever you what — but your post must include, in whatever role you see fit, a cat, a bowl of soup, and a beach towel."
That Darn Cat
I had to buy a new beach towel. No matter where I hid it, that cat found and confiscated it.
Whenever I made a bowl of soup, a bowl of ice cream or had a tuna sandwich, I had to make enough for the both of us. She was relentless.
That cat come with the apartment. Someone had left her behind. I thought, "How cruel," and naively took her in.
But after three months, I seriously considered moving and leaving that cat behind!
One night, she started to howl and would not shut up.
I tried to feed her. Not interested.
I tried to hold and console her. She bit and scratched me.
I tried to throw her outside … and that's when I smelled it.
Smoke for the adjoining apartment.
I called the fire department.
My neighbor had left a pan on the stove and forgot it. Her fire alarm batteries were dead.
The building had been in danger of burning down, but my beautiful, intelligent cat saved us all.
I think I'll keep her.
The End
This story is not me, but the cat is real. Someone did leave her behind and she did save the building.
I have more short stories under Weekly Writing Challenge, Friday Fictioneer
and Storybook Corner.

KMU dares TUCP: Let's build alliance for significant wage hike

- TUCP wage hike petition reflective of big business, gov't stance – KMU

- On TUCP's proposal for a P75 wage hike through Metro wage board
Most discussed
Despite its reservations towards the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines' plan of filing a petition for a wage increase before the country's regional wage boards, labor center Kilusang Mayo Uno challenged the TUCP today to close ranks with it in forming an alliance for a significant wage hike.
KMU said the government's and big capitalists' dogged opposition to a substantial wage hike leave workers with no other option than to unite on the issue.
"We challenge the TUCP to join us in forming an alliance for a significant wage hike. Such an alliance will surely strengthen the workers' fight for a substantial wage increase which is much deserved by workers but is now long overdue," said Elmer "Bong" Labog, KMU chairperson.
"The Aquino government and big capitalists have been all-out in opposing a significant wage hike while the number of unionized workers has been reduced in years. Workers need to unite in order to have a fighting chance that our demands will be met," he added.
"What is clear right now is that both KMU and TUCP are resolute in fighting for a wage hike for workers. Talks for the formation of the alliance may perhaps clarify other points of unity and coordination in our campaigns," he said.
KMU condemned the government of Pres. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III for immediately turning down TUCP's proposal for a wage hike.
Reacting to the TUCP's plan to file a petition for a wage increase, deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said that there is no reason to hike wages at present.
"We condemn the Aquino government's knee-jerk dismissal of any proposal for a wage hike. Pres. Aquino is again showing that he is a consistent pro-capitalist and anti-worker president," Labog said.
"While we have criticisms against the TUCP's mode of pushing for a wage hike, we are revolted by the Aquino government's refusal to hike wages, especially by a significant level. Workers have not received a significant wage hike since the start of Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's reign in 2001," he added.
KMU said it still challenges the TUCP to push for a wage increase that is higher than the P75 to P100 that the latter is proposing, that is nationwide in scope and not regional, that is across-the-board, and is legislated.

A man pulled out a large-caliber pistol in front of dozens of witnesses Sunday morning during a fight with another customer inside a Publix, Palm Bay police said.
The alleged gunman, Derek Dimsey, 31, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, reckless display of a firearm and aggravated assault, Palm Bay police spokeswoman Yvonne Martinez told Local 6 News partner Florida Today.
His alleged assailant, Kenny Mercado Sr., 50, faces charges of battery and disorderly conduct.
Just before 11 a.m. at the Bayside Lakes Boulevard store, Martinez said the men — who did not know each other — made "an incidental contact" that triggered a loud verbal exchange.
That's when Mercado punched Dimsey, police said.
Dimsey responded by pointing a pistol at Mercado, Martinez said. Mercado raised his hands and fled to the next aisle, and Dimsey allegedly pointed the weapon at several people.
Publix employees separated the men and convinced Dimsey to put the gun away, reports show.
Police arrived, secured the scene and arrested both suspects, who were transported to the Brevard County Jail. No injuries were reported, and investigators are considering additional charges.
"Florida Statutes Chapter 776 authorizes anyone the right to defend themselves when presented with unlawful force. However, the response by the defender must be reasonable," Deputy Chief John Blackledge stated in a news release.
"The law does not allow for the presentation of deadly force in every situation. It is certainly not justified as the response to a simple punch. The use of deadly force requires a much greater presentation of force than what was presented in this incident," Blackledge said.

Follow the steps below to become an IUP Orientation registrant!
Our Orientation programs were established to support your transition to being a college student. Proper advising and appropriate course selection are critical to first-year success. You will be placement tested, learn, meet other new students, work with peer advisers, and have fun!
Read the FAQ for specific details about each program, program dates, and answers to commonly asked questions.
Indiana Campus Freshman: As an entering Indiana
campus freshman, you may select between a weekend Spring Orientation
(when available), or a two-day, residential Summer Orientation. You only
need to attend one Spring Orientation or one Summer Orientation. Each session can reach capacity at any time.
FYE admits: You may select any Orientation date. Your advisers encourage you to select June 8–9 or June 22–23.
Honors College Freshman: Honors College designated dates are April 18–19 or
June 15–16. Plan to attend one of the two. You will see your
"designated" Orientation date on the Orientation enrollment form as June
Punxsutawney Campus Freshman: Attend one of designated Punxsutawney campus summer orientations on the Indiana campus. If this is a problem, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Northpointe Campus Freshman: Attend one of the Northpointe-only, one-day Summer Orientations on the Northpointe campus.
*Work and/or high school absence excuses are available; request
this when registering, and it will be in your packet when you arrive at
the program.
During Orientation, students will take the following exams: English, Compass Math, and Reading. These tests are serious and determine course placement. You should prepare for them. Depending on the major, students may also take the Education Readiness, Spanish, French or German exams. For more information about these exams, please see our website. Incoming freshmen have the opportunity to submit an English Portfolio in place of taking the English Essay Exam. Carefully read the materials from the IUP English Department discussing due dates and the preparations needed to submit an English portfolio. Please note that if you change your Orientation date and have submitted a portfolio, you will need to e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are attending Spring Orientation, be sure that you (and/or your family) have booked a hotel room for Saturday night. If you are driving a long distance, you may want to consider staying Friday night as well.
Summer Orientation student participants stay (separate from family members) in mandatory overnight housing in an IUP residence hall during the program.
For summer Orientation registrants only. While there is no formal program the night before Orientation, you may want to consider spending the night in the residence hall so that you are well rested for the program and testing. (There is a $24.00 residence hall fee for arriving early and will be added to the Orientation fee on your semester bill.) If you wish this option, indicate this on the enrollment form. (Early arrival breakfast in the IUP dining hall will be approximately $7.00 , payable by cash, debit, or credit.)
If you absolutely must change your Orientation date, log back into my.iup.edu and select "reschedule my orientation date."
In addition to having noted any prior college coursework on the Orientation enrollment form, if you have AP, CLEP, or transfer credits, be sure to submit an official transcript to the IUP Office of Admissions, 117 Sutton Hall, 1011 South Drive, Indiana, PA 15705, well in advance of your selected Orientation date (see FAQ for more information).
Your Orientation confirmation will arrive approximately 1 week before your program date. The information will include arrival procedures, program times, a parking permit, and information on sample tests. (Note that letters for last minute date changes and/or last-minute enrollments may be difficult to provide.)
We strongly recommend addressing questions about Orientation to us by e-mail, if possible. When contacting us by e-mail (email@example.com) or phone (724-357-4067), we will need your Banner ID addition to your name. This will enable us to access your records and provide you the information you are requesting. Our Orientation phone service hours are Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
IUP is committed to serving students with disabilities. Access and accommodations provided during Orientation are separate from those provided when you are a student. Thus, if you have a disability, in addition to indicating needs on the Orientation enrollment form, complete and return the Declaration of Disability form. This lets us know if you need access, accommodations, or services during your IUP career, after Orientation, due to a disability. For more information, visit the Disability Support website.
