Tips for Healthcare Navigation. ~ Dr. Ariele Foster
I'm counting my blessings this holiday season.
Having decent health insurance is certainly one of them. Another sometimes-blessing is having insider know-how about the health industry.
I'm a physical therapist (and yoga teacher) with a full schedule of wonderful patients. I work for a big hospital network that provides good benefits to employees. But I spent my twenties as a struggling yoga teacher, often financially stressed and paying out of pocket for my own health care with less-than-stellar health insurance.
It occurred to me that in this time of economic uncertainty and challenge, that I could share some healthcare navigation tips. These are particularly relevant if you are also blessed to have health insurance, and if you appreciate money-saving advice.
A new year begins soon. So do many insurance plans. The deductible that annoyed you late last winter starts from zero all over again*, with perhaps a higher threshold than before. Your co-payments (per visit charges) may increase. Many of my patients have co-pays as high as $45, and it breaks my heart when someone who is in need tells me she can't afford physical therapy.
Doctors of all sorts are frustrated. It's possible your doc might opt our of accepting your type of insurance as the contract year ends. It's possible that your health insurance will change reimbursement rules for seeing a provider that's out of network.
This is not theory or paranoia. The percent of health care costs paid by consumers has risen steadily for years.
Adding to the impetus to address your health issues now is your flexible spending account (FSA), should you have one. If you do, you've paid in advance for at least some of your direct healthcare costs.
It's very tricky to guess what your out-of-pocket expenses will be for the year ahead, but if you don't spend your FSA "guesstimation" by the deadline (usually you have until mid-March to complete your spending), you lose it completely.
Please take a moment now to consider what healthcare needs you have. Maybe you have questions or concerns for health care professionals that have been brushed aside, to see if they go away.
If your health insurance is looking less favorable to you in the new year, don't forget that it often takes a month or more to get in to see a new doctor.** Call now. Set a reminder on your phone for the next workday. Or three. Research the best providers in your area now. Ask friends or post your question on Facebook now for suggestions.
If you have nagging back pain, muscle spasms, TMJ pain, poor balance from ankle sprains, consider setting up appointments with a trusted physical therapist as soon as possible. At my clinic, it can sometimes take two weeks to get an initial evaluation. For specialists, more. (We aim to spend a whole hour with you at your first visit).
Physical therapy is typically a commitment: I tend to treat patients for four to six weeks at a time, usually twice a week. Some of the new patients I evaluate this week will continue to be in physical therapy into January, especially if they're out of town around the holidays. Call someone now. You may be surprised by how much physical therapy can help all sorts of conditions (including yoga injuries!), and good physical therapists will give you homework (home exercises) to help you sustain relief and stay in top form.
I know it's a busy time of year. But this post is one about love. Love yourself. Please take care for yourself. It's the greatest gift you can give to those who love you.
If money is any obstacle between you and your health—if you've ever felt disgruntled by all the fees and extras you pay on top of your health insurance—be wise, be empowered about it and figure out what changes your health insurance will be making for the new year. If those changes are not in the favor of you as a customer, use what you have now. Let that be a fire under your butt to get the care you need and deserve now.
If your health insurance is robust and will be making no changes, if you feel fully healthy in no need of seeing a health care provider, count those among your many blessings this time of year.
* Not every health insurance plan has a deductible, but deductibles are very common.
** My apologies for not thinking of making this post earlier in the fall!
Dr. Ariele Foster, PT, DPT, E-RYT, practices physical therapy and teaches public and private yoga classes in Washington, DC. She has been teaching yoga since 2001, and decided to become a physical therapist after sustaining an injury through her yoga practice. Ariele is passionate about injury prevention and safely returning to asana (yoga poses) practice after injury, an anatomy review workshop series for yoga and movement teachers. She proud to be on the faculty of Embrace Yoga with Faith Hunter's 500 hour yoga teacher training program, and one of 20 Athleta featured athletes in 2012.

We can thank Obamacare for all the negative changes to our health insurances coming up. It will not be long till our healthcare turns like Canada, where we have to wait ages to be seen by a doctor should a medical emergency come up. Oh the beauty of socialized medicine….
Hi Ashley, The Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") is much more complex than you describe. There are aspects that will benefit many people very clearly, and there are aspects that may bottleneck the medical system and cause increased wait times if more people seek the same treatment. There are lots of grey areas in between, as well, and other changes we will simply have to see how they shake out and tweak them once we know. I encourage you to share constructive ideas and critiques with your elected officials and to raise your voice in other ways that articulate specifically what you would like to see.
Now, to make a sweeping general statement not aimed at any one person, political dialogues that paint complicated subjects as purely black and white issues are divisive, out-of-touch and serve only to turn engaged US citizens into simplified cartoons of our two party system. It's pure ego and quite dangerous any time we think that we as an individual or as a group have THE answer. We have to work together because we are all in this together.
What I know for sure is that our current healthcare system is not without flaw, but I'm also grateful for the health care that I have access to now.
thanks for sharing such a wonderful information with us. this great post help me to understand what are the things we have to look while choosing our health insurance plans.

My pleasure!
After our basic needs, it is health care that comes next. A person will be happy if he is healthy and fine but now a days chronic illnesses is increasing and most of the people are affected with some disease. So it is important to take care of yourself that will help in leading a quality life and also reduce the health care spending. While choosing our healthcare plans we must take care of all points.

Swiping left from home screen should show list of missed text message notifications
I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket the other day. After I finished typing, I took it out, and the screen was off.
I turned it on. From the lock screen, I see no text message indicator, so I know I didn't get a text.
I enter my pin, and the start screen appears.
There's no obvious way to know what caused it to vibrate in the first place. Whatever toast it was, is now gone.
Was it facebook? Was it weatherbug notifying me that it was above 80 in seattle? I'll never know.
It would be nice if you could swipe to the left from the start screen to see all of the toast notifications that you've missed.
We know that viewing & managing notifications in one places is valued by our customers. Check out the Action Center features now in Windows Phone 8.1 at http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/features-8-1

We had notifications in the Me Tile. But wait a minute...those got taken away. We had text notifications in the Messaging app too. They show up in your accent color to indicate an unread message. Just restore the Me Tile! http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions/suggestions/5786267-restore-me-tile-functionality
Gerzhwin commented
It's as if "they" can't think: swiping left from the start screen takes you to the app list ... Please STOP acting childishly ...
Gerzhwin commented
Sure, it would have been unique to swipe RIGHT, but you always would have to go back to the start screen, which could have been annoying to most of the users. MSFT is interested in making as many people happy as possible, so that WP market share is held up/will be increased, so they can further invest ...
RWalrond commented
Hey Microsoft, You already had a notification page, it was under the Me tile.
Swiping left to reveal the ME tile notifications would have been more WP like.
Instead you've sold out WP and made it work more like current Android and iOS.
At this rate, there will be nothing unique about Windows phone and instead of people switching too it because of that, be careful that doesn't turn into the reason we switch away.
It's as if they just can't read, I mean it clearly says left from the home screen. MS closed the suggestion using the Android notification center aka action center. Would it be that hard to make it a swipe from the left?
dreamcaster commented
Nearly three years. I got this email today and I didn't even realize what it was. I've moved on from WP because of the lack of app availability and simple features such as this. At least it is coming. Maybe I'll have to check out WP again in a few years.
FYI action center is coming in WP 8.1
pull down from the top and you'll see it.
svde commented

Shane commented
This feature is available in WP8.1 by swiping down instead of left as described here. Moderators will not close this thread and return your votes until WP8.1 is officially available for download, but you can remove your votes and apply them elsewhere.
I prefer phone call function for the left swipe. Or an editable function or app.
while playing music, u never get to see that app in background.
Hari commented
Victor91 commented
This is available in WP8.1 but from the top, which is much better. Swiping from the side would lead to a lot of accidental openings when navigating in apps.
Dont add notification bar like android or ios. Swiping the left of the home screen is a good idea for showing all the notifications.
Sarvesuwaran commented
Vikram commented
i'm removing my votes as it is appears to have been imptemented in wp8.1 as a notification center.
check this out and please post your votes here.
iinnnnit commented
WP should long press home button switch to action center ,and long press search button switch to contana for easy one hand use
Abhinab Kadel commented
There is the glance screen. It can provide notifications of missed calls, messages, emails, facebook updates, notifications from games and from many other apps. I think that microsoft should continue improve the concept of glance screen rather than a new notification bar or center. I chose windows phone because it had a concept different from that of ios or android phones not because it wanted be like android or other platforms

CLAYTON A Clayton woman was arrested Tuesday after state police said she tried to sell stolen items that she took unlawfully from her storage unit.
Heather E. Wiley, 34, of 32191 Macomb Settlement Road, was arrested 7:07 p.m. Tuesday and charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property. Police said the property was stored at The Space Place, 26470 Route 11, Evans Mills. According to police, Trevor Eassa, of 671 Cooper St., Watertown, was given permission to store the items in Ms. Wileys storage unit. Police said a toy train valued at $300 and a flat-screen TV valued at $100, both belonging to Mr. Eassa, were taken by Ms. Wiley, who then allegedly attempted to sell them.
She was issued an appearance ticket for Lyme Town Court.

I have tried to make a sketch or a model in several dimensions of the potency of Arendt's idea of invisibility, the necessary inconspicuousness of thinking and reading, and the ambivalently joyous and knotted agency to be found there. Just beneath the surface of the phonemes, a gendered name rhythmically explodes into a founding variousness. And then the strictures of the text assert again themselves. I want to claim for this inconspicuousness a transformational agency that runs counter to the teleology of readerly intention. Syllables might call to gods who do and don't exist. That is, they appear in the text's absences and densities as a motile graphic and phonemic force that abnegates its own necessity. Overwhelmingly in my submission to reading's supple snare, I feel love.Author City: Béthines FRALisa Robertson's books of poetry include NILLING: PROSE, XECLOGUE, DEBBIE: AN EPIC (nominated for the Governor General's Award for Poetry in 1998), THE WEATHER (winner of the Relit Award for Poetry in 2002), THE MEN and LISA ROBERTSON'S MAGENTA SOUL WHIP.

CRUSER Technical Continuum
Call for Abstracts
CRUSER's annual NPS TechCon provides NPS Faculty an opportunity to explore selected concepts in support of our 3rd Innovation Thread - "Distributing Future Naval Air and Surface Forces."
The selected concepts were developed during the September Warfare Innovation Workshop 2013 and the March 2013 Warfare Innovation Workshop "Advancing Undersea Warfare." Although the concepts below have been highlighted, presentations may be about any concept related to the Innovation Thread.
Presentations will allow faculty to showcase how they can take a concept to experimentation.
Abstracts are due by 15 March to email@example.com
Additional Details about Selected Concepts
Natural low frequency search methods: leverage the earth's natural electro-magnetic spectrum for search based on receiving anomalies caused by man- made platforms as they disturb various fields and emissions. Further details of this concept are classified and available through appropriate channels.
Re-seeding energy: Induction transfer of energy to large diameter UUV (LDUUV) payload, and LDUUV induction to fielded sensors. This concept aims to leverage the enormous power generation capabilities of the SSN to provide a persistent energy source to a range of fielded sensors and assets. Two of the driving needs to use induction as the transfer mechanism are to eliminate the need for physical contact (expensive and complicated wet-mates) and to enable re-charging while underway.
Using UUVs to aid in submarine minefield navigation: Named undersea "Sled Dogs", or "Cat Whiskers" this concept uses a "dynamic Q route" using Q from the stochastic model and employs two ROVs traveling ahead of the submarine with integrated sensors. The ROVs could have acoustic sensors to help augment the submarine's 3D spatial awareness, dedicated mine detecting sensors, and a communications suite. Traveling at a relatively low speed (2-5 knots) the ROV would receive power and control through the tether with the submarine. The complement of sensors on the ROV could either be locally analyzed or sent back to the submarine for computational analysis. In the case that a mine was discovered and had to be disposed of, the ROV could cut its tether and continue under its own power to defuse the threat.
Wide area decoy: surface launched drone deployment using many inexpensive gliders ("flocks") deployed from LDUUV via a balloon to altitude – add reflectors to confuse adversary. The best way to create a cost imposing strategy on the adversary is to create an inexpensive means to disable their expensive, high value capability. China has created the DF-21D which costs approximately $1 million to sink U.S. aircraft carriers which cost $13.5 billion. The crux for any missile system is its radar targeting system. If one was to deploy a large swarm, 100-1,000 inexpensive UAVs with radar jamming capabilities, it would render the missile system inoperable. A new counter measure would have to be developed to disable the swarm of cheap, hard to target UAVs. A potential launching method for the UAV is to passively deploy it from an LDUUV. Instead of requiring a forceful launching mechanism, the UAV could be attached to a self-inflating balloon that would lift the UAV to a designated altitude the drop the UAV. The UAV will reach a terminal velocity to begin flying under its own propulsion.
It is expected that in the 2030 time frame, the first 300 feet in the water column will become transparent to overhead sensors. In an effort to counteract this transparency, a radar/EM reflecting substance could be released onto the surface of the littorals. This reflecting layer would give undersea assets operating impunity from overhead sensors.
Asset Distribution and Employment Concepts:
Surface Flotilla with Expeditionary Basing and Optionally Manned Ship – use of a combined manned and unmanned flotilla of surface ships to add dispersed offensive capability to the fleet. The flotilla is supported using a logistics network composed of mobile bases and small combat support ships
Subsurface Flotilla with Semi-Submersible Platforms – similar to the surface flotilla, this concept uses smaller conventional submarines and semi-submersible ships to increase individual platform survivability
Distributed Expeditionary Airbase Concept – aka ships as "Lily Pads" with distributed shore basing
Dissimilar Swarm Autonomy – warfighting UxS element to consider is not the individual platform, but a flexible mix/system/group; swarm has preset queuing/signals; semi-autonomy, flexible autonomy, leader-election algorithm, stigmergic communication
Autonomous Coordinated UxS Maneuvers for Sensor Positioning – collaborative and autonomous unmanned sensor positioning to allow for passive target locating and tracking; UxS "swarm" behavior that automatically repositions passive sensors to locate, identify, and track targets of interest
UAV Payloads to Augment Strike Capabilities– decoy/MILDEC is an important payload for this concept
C2/3 Concepts:
Wave-Gliders for Cueing and C3 Networks – get wave-gliders to operate in pairs the groups as passive receivers; triangulate receipt of signals until they reach a targeting solution, and then transmit
Virtual Crow's Nest – use of lighter-than-air platforms to provide tethered sensors
Full Network Deployment– view full system as the combat power so make a concentrated effort to integrate C2 across domains throughout the network of combat platforms – "intercommunicatedness"
Leverage Ambient Signals – use ambient transmission signals (TV, radio, Faruno commercial radar, etc.) to navigate and for targeting to remain "silent"
C2 for Hunter-Killer Mindset – re-emphasize offensive capabilities, as offensive warfare is easier and weaponry is less expensive than defending assets in the field.
UAV "Carrier Pigeon" – using UAVs to pass messages with hard copy payloads, or line of sight communications, i.e. TERN could cover 900NM between surface forces
UxS C2 Modification – How will C2 concepts need to be modified to allow large numbers of less capable systems to operate while human systems are at EMCON ALPHA
Strategic UxS C2, force allocation, and Employment– use UxS for pre-decisional preplanned mission assignments, leaving manned assets available for flexible decision missions
Biologically Encoded Acoustic Communication – i.e. snapping shrimp or whale song; embed signal in white noise that requires a "key" to find the pattern
IR "Bat Signal"– ionosphere IR reflection signal
Innovative C3 Systems for Distributed Manned and Unmanned Platforms and Systems – use of autonomy, command by negation, and distributed communications to provide new C3 systems
Deception and Weather Concepts:
Sea Chaff or Sea Flare – use of sea surface to host EIO and IR decoys
Disruptive Swarm – robotic fish, or guide the fish away en masse
Weather Weapons – creating weather for non-military applications, but have not yet used it to aid a military mission

Do I not get this or something?
Tacking Jr. or II onto a boy's name is too common, a new father decided, so the self-described engineering geek took a novel approach to naming his newborn son.
He gave him a different name.
Now folks, how easy is that?

When I went I was told that my vehicle had a radiator oil leak, which I do believe was there. The mechanic then told me that in order to fix the leak I had to replace the entire radiator. As well as having the radiator replaced I also had my transmission fluid replaced. A week after getting the fluid replaced I realized that I had a leak. So instead of replacing the gasket that the mechanic was supposed to replace he just drained the oil and never replaced the gasket. I also noticed that there was a lot of dirt in the tank. I feel very scammed by them, they took my money.
I was parked at a shopping mall when my Nissan Frontier 2004 didn't start up. I called my insurance company to have my truck towed to my dealership where I normally get my maintenance and repairs done. This happened on a Friday around 2:30pm. The tow truck driver spoke highly of the services provided at Quality Auto & Truck Repair. My biggest concern was getting my truck repaired that same day. The tow truck driver believed it was possible for my truck to get repaired that same day, so I agreed to change my destination to Quality Auto & Truck Repair. We made it to Quality Auto & Truck Repair and dealt with Curtis. He listened to my concerns about having my truck done the same day and he honestly provided a, "We'll do our best." To make a long story short, my truck was repaired in less than 1 hr, 30 min! This is a great completion time given that it takes Mossy Nissan National City the same amount of time to change my oil. Why does Mossy take the same amount of time to drain old oil and pour in new oil? Most especially when it's appointment based? Quality Auto & Truck Repair isn't appointment based and they were able to get a bigger job completed in the same amount of time.
They have a great lounge, great staff and free Wi-Fi. My new Starter came with a life time warranty only through Quality Auto & Truck Repair and a one year warranty on Labor. It was a great deal! Additionally, they have a 5% military discount.
I've always relied on Mossy Nissan National City to do the maintenance and repairs. Quality Auto & Truck Repair was my first experience with a shop outside the dealership and I wasn't disappointed. All my repairs will go through Quality Auto & Truck Repair before Mossy Nissan National City.

Vikings place Adrian Peterson on PUP list, also deactivate two others
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MANKATO, Minn. -- Adrian Peterson wanted to be on the field on Friday, but the Minnesota Vikings told him he'll have to wait at least a little longer.
As planned, the Vikings placed Peterson on the active/physically unable to perform list, giving their star halfback further time to recover from the major knee surgery he underwent less than seven months ago.
"We think that's the best thing to do for right now," coach Leslie Frazier said of Peterson, who tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee on Dec. 24 at Washington and had surgery six days later.
"We'll continue to evaluate him daily, see how he's progressing, and at some point, the doctors and our head trainer Eric Sugarman will come to me and say, 'Hey, we think he's ready to get involved in some team activities.' But at this point, we're going to go through some evaluations, just make a determination as to when is the right time to put him out there with his teammates."
Two NFL sources told 1500ESPN.com on Thursday morning the Vikings planned to make the long-anticipated move. But Frazier said he planned to meet with Peterson about the plan before finalizing anything, and Peterson told reporters he intended to fight the designation.
"He put up a fight. He did," Frazier said. "Knowing Adrian like you guys do, he wanted to make sure -- 'Coach, don't hold me back. Let me get out there.'
"He wants to get out there, but we've got to be smart. We need to see him do a few things and then make a determination. But if he had his way, he'd be getting involved (Friday)."
Placing Peterson on active/PUP gives the Vikings flexibility in case of a setback, too. Once a player participates in a single training camp practice, he's ineligible for the reserve/PUP list, which would sideline him for at least the regular season's first six weeks.
The Vikings believe Peterson will be ready sooner than that and consistently have said it's a goal to have him on the field against Jacksonville for the opener on Sept. 9.
Two more deactivated
Also Friday, the Vikings placed two players, tight end Mickey Shuler and receiver Stephen Burton, on the active/non-football injury list.
Shuler is considered day to day with a heel injury he suffered a couple of weeks ago, Frazier said.
"The X-rays that we took and the MRI were all negative," Frazier said. "There were no issues there. But we want to be able to get past the pain so we can get him involved."
Burton also will go through activities on the side as the toe he jammed about a week ago heals, Frazier said.
It's just the latest ailment for a player who had a bad hamstring in camp last year, suffered a season-ending knee injury in December and was one of the offseason's stars before catching pneumonia.
"He's a young guy, so it's hard to draw conclusions at this point in his career." Frazier said. "So, we'll see how he progresses and hopefully, this toe will evolve and get better shortly."

The Case for Hybrid
What's in a Name?
Hybrid and blended are terms for a type of learning that combines two or more learning environments. As early as 2003, Martyn identified the interchangeability of the two terms. In terms of higher education, the current use of the term "hybrid" often implies a mixture of face-to-face instruction with some type of electronic or mobile learning. In Texas, the Higher Education Coordinating Board has coined the term Hybrid to mean a course in which the majority (more than 50 percent but less than 85 percent), of the planned instruction occurs when the students and instructor(s) are not in the same place.
The Sloan Consortium (Sloan-C) definition includes two components:
- Integrate online with traditional face-to-face (F2F) in a planned, pedagogically valuable manner
- Replace a portion (institutionally defined) of F2F time by online activity
The following chart is intended to help in determining the range of face-to-face (F2F) and online (electronic) time required for a course to qualify as a hybrid course at TWU.
|Course Semester Credit Hours
|TWU Minimum Class Time
|Distance Education Course Designation

Challenges When Developing Hybrid
- Changes in learning approach
- From passive to active
- From individual to collaborative
- Changes in study and time management skills
- Changes in attitude
- Fewer F2F does not equal less work
- More personal accountability
- Changes in technical expectations
- Manage risk
- Colleagues
- Students
- Technology
- Openness to change
- Support for redesign efforts
- Need to develop new skills

As a consultant, I wear many hats. One of my gigs recently led me to the chambers of California's new Chief Justice, Tani Cantil-Sakauye, who I will profile soon for a local bar association magazine. While most of our discussion focused on very weighty subjects, such as budget cuts and layoffs, we did briefly wade into one of my favorite topics: writing.
For the benefit of our readers, I asked the Chief for tips on how to write effective court briefs. She responded that she is a big fan of writing that gives her a road map at the outset. "Tell me what you are going to write and why," Cantil-Sakauye said. "I like clear statements of why I'm reading this and then you can go into detail."
Often, attorneys are under the mistaken impression that they need long, windy introductions to their writing. Unfortunately, I don't think judges or clients appreciate that. As one GC at an international manufacturer recently told me, he doesn't have the patience to read through three or four paragraphs before he gets to the meat of the writing. By that time, he's already moved on to something else.
Now why can't they teach brevity in law school? Or maybe that's the problem after all. Maybe they teach the opposite.
For more tips, I suggest Bryan Garner's book, "Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges." Or, if you are in Los Angeles next month, you can come to our writing seminar, "Struggling with Content that Stinks? Let Us Fix It."
Also on the panel will be professional writer Amy Spach and Per Casey, an online content guru. It's on February 23 and we will strive to improve real-life examples submitted by attendees. See you there!

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
As part of the ongoing compliance efforts related to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), employers who are subject to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) must provide notice to their employees of the existence of health insurance exchange marketplaces no later than October 1, 2013. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has simplified the requirement by providing the following model notices:
The notices are meant to inform employees that beginning January 1, 2014, they will have access to affordable health insurance coverage through the state health insurance exchanges. At this time, employers are expected to comply with the initial requirement by October 1; however, PPACA has no explicit penalty for failure to provide the notice.
Employers subject to the FLSA must provide notice to each employee (though not dependents), regardless of plan enrollment status. This means employers must provide the notice to both part- and full-time employees and must do so regardless of whether they actually provide health coverage.
After October 1, employers must provide the notice to each new hire within 14 days of the start date. The notice may be included in a new hire packet.
In technical guidance, the DOL has indicated that notice "may be provided by first-class mail [or] may be provided electronically" if it meets specific electronic disclosure requirements. Physical distribution may be an acceptable method, so long as the employer takes various steps to document such distribution. In any event, it is clear that simply posting the notice at an employer's worksite would not be sufficient.
The DOL outlined the three pieces of information that must be included in each notice:
Arguably, the model notice requires employers to provide more detailed information than the requirements outlined in the technical guidance cited above. For instance, the model notice requires employers to determine whether their coverage meets the minimum value and affordability tests. However, because employers will be required to provide this information to employees upon request as of October 1, the model notice can serve as a primer for the deluge of questions expected to come from employees.
PPACA deadlines are anything but predictable. We recommend clients take a minimalist approach with respect to their notices, and also wait until the Oct. 1 deadline draws nearer before providing the notices. If the past is any indication, the DOL may provide more substantive guidance with respect to the notice requirements, which may shift or alter the manner in which an employer provides the notice. We also would not be surprised if the DOL postponed the notice requirement.

This Treasure Coast family born of love
The Heart Gallery of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast
The Heart Gallery of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast is a photo exhibit featuring images of local children waiting to be adopted.
The photos, taken by Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers photographers, capture the personalities of children in Florida's foster care system.
Once each month, we feature one of these children's portrait on the cover of the Travel/Today section. During the month of November, National Adoption Month, we'll feature one child each Sunday.
For more information, call 772-489-5601, ext. 277 or visit www.chsfl.org.
JENSEN BEACH — For one local family, love, not biology, defines their connection.
Yvonne Natale of Jensen Beach is raising three adopted girls alone after her husband of 19 years died of cancer in March 2010.
"When I met each of my girls, we instantly clicked," said Natale, 50, the youngest of six children.
Two of Natale's daughters' adoptions were processed through the Children's Home Society of Florida, Treasure Coast Division, for which Jennifer, Natale's middle child, was photographed for the Heart Gallery traveling exhibit. The professional photography exhibit features portraits taken by Scripps Treasure Newspaper photographers of local children in foster care who are eligible for adoption but might be difficult to place for a variety of reasons. They might have physical, emotional or behavioral challenges, age or be part of a sibling group.
"At any given moment, there are between 125 to 175 children in foster care across St. Lucie, Martin, Indian River and Okeechobee counties available to be adopted," said Frank Avilla, Children's Home Society of Florida adoptions marketing specialist and coordinator of the Heart Gallery of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast. "This year, our goal is 114 adoption finalizations."
Natale's first adoption, 12 years ago in the Bronx, was Beth, who is now 23 and a mother herself living in Port St. Lucie. Seventeen-year-old Jennifer came to Natale's house last year on Valentine's Day while Jasmin, a 10-year-old girl joined the family on Aug. 31, Natale's 50th birthday.
"They are my life," said Natale, who first became a foster parent at 27. "If I can make it (life) better for them, that's what I want to do. They've been through enough."
Jennifer was adopted as a baby by another family, but at 13, the courts removed her from her adoptive family. The dark-haired, curly-headed teenager, who is learning how to cook, has a tendency to fudge the truth because of her insecurities.
"I would always have to lie," said Jennifer, 17, who dropped out of high school. "I thought that lying was OK, but I'm working on it."
As part of Natale's family, Jennifer is attending the GED program at Indian River State College.
"Jennifer has a home, Jennifer has sisters, Jennifer has a niece and Jennifer has dogs," said Natale. "Some people have ideas that foster kids are throwaways, but they are just as special in your life as having biological ones."
Natale's youngest child, Jasmin, whose adoption still is awaiting finalization from the court system, is a third-grader at Jensen Beach Elementary. The young blonde enjoys teasing her new big sister while the older one prepares dinner.
Like her new mother, Jasmin is one of six siblings, but unlike Natale, who was raised by a single mother, the 10-year-old's biological parents were unable to care for any of their children. They all have been adopted separately, and this blue-eyed girl with glasses was the last to find a home. She spent four years at a transitional home in South Florida.
"I'm lucky she picked me," said Jasmin, referring to Natale.
Natale feels like she's the lucky one. After losing the love of her life unexpectedly, she has a new life with these daughters.
"We are a family and families are made of all kinds of people and for me, these are my kind of people," Natale said. "They are my family."
And she's not done.
"I think I'll be adopting a sibling group soon," said Natale, with a smile on her face.

According to UK auto mag Auto Express, Toyota is planning to revive the MR2 nameplate as a direct competitor to Honda's upcoming CR-Z Hybrid coupe
As is the case for the Honda, the new MR2 will be a hybrid affair and will use a modified version of the Prius' drive train. Is this the Prius Coupe we've been hearing about?
A rear-wheel-drive layout and a paddle-shift gearbox will combine with a petrol and electric engine combo that's tuned for responsiveness, while retaining good economy and low emissions.
The renders doing the rounds at the minute show that the new MR2 could share styling cues with Toyota's FT-HS Concept.
Gone is the roadster body of the previous model as the MR2 returns to the hard-top format of the past, demonstrated by the sleek lines of the coupe shown here.
Toyota executive vice-president Masatami Takimoto outlined Toyota's direction for the MR2:
"We are aware of the fondness with which the MR2 is held in the UK and Europe, and are developing a small hybrid sports car.
"We have set a tough price point (expected to be around AUD $43,000), as it will be easier to sell if it is affordable. It has to be fun to drive, too, which means the hybrid set-up must be different to the Prius's, with greater responsiveness."
The previous generation MR2 (shown below) disappeared from Australian showrooms in 2005 and ceased production in 2007.
While the last generation Roadster did win some hearts, many regard the SW20 (pictured below) as the best of the bunch.
The SW20, in its hottest form, featured the same 3S-GTE 2.0 litre four cylinder turbo engine as found in the Celica GT4 of the time and responded very well to tuning.
The MR2 that followed relied on the same 1.8 litre naturally aspirated four cylinder engine that appeared in same generation Corolla. This change, plus the move to a roadster format, pushed many enthusiasts away.
If Toyota can get the formula right, a hybrid MR2 could work a treat. With a 0-100km/h time in the sub seven-second bracket, 4.7 l/100km fuel economy and less than 100g/km of C0², it all sounds like a good combo to us.
With Toyota (and Subaru) said to be working away on the 086A RWD Coupe, Toyota showrooms could get a lot busier in coming years.

Or use the form below, without registering.
- I've nearly given up on Toyota doing anything exciting, but if a corporate vice president makes some meaningful noises, then there may be some hope. The new chairman ( Toyoda) is supposedly a "car guy", so he may take a few beancounters out the back and strangle them. That way, we may get something more exciting than a Sportivo Camry.

|The Game Story:
|LEWISTON, Maine - Senior attack Jack Sandler (Hicksville, N.Y.)
scored five goals and two assists for seven points as the Bates
College men's lacrosse team won its home opener today, 18-6, over New
England College.
The Bobcats (1-1) opened the game strongly, scoring eight unanswered goals, starting with a tally by sophomore Peter Fedullo (Williamson, N.Y.) just 1:20 into the contest. Sandler scored the next Bates goal and assisted the third goal, an extra-man tally by senior Dave Frederick (W. Hartford, Conn.). The Bobcats extended the lead to 5-0 by the end of the first period and went ahead 8-0 on Sandler's second goal of the game with 9:20 left in the first half.
New England College (0-1) got on the board midway through the second quarter on a goal by junior midfielder Josh Dionne (Brunsiwck, Maine). The Bobcats scored twice more before the Pilgrims responded on an unassisted goal by rookie midfielder Dave Real (Brunswick, Maine) cutting the lead to 10-2. Bates took an 11-2 margin into the break on an extra-man goal by first-year Peter Friedman (Putney, Vt.) just before the half.
The Bobcats, who converted all four of their extra man chances on the afternoon, including two just as the penalty expired, also staved off a prime chance by NEC to start the fourth period. The Pilgrims got a three-minute man advantage because of an illegal stick, but they managed only one goal, despite playing with a two-man-up situation for the final 30 seconds.
Besides Sandler, Bates got multi-goal games from senior midfielder Matt Winterle (Duxbury, Mass.), who had three goals and an assist for four points, while Fedullo added two goals. Sophomore Brad Frost (Winchester, Mass.), Frederick and Sandler all had two assists on the afternoon. Junior Mark Dobbyn (Warren, R.I.) had nine saves on the afternoon.
NEC was led by three goals from Dionne and two from Real, while rookie Pete Kimmel (Baltimore, Md.) and Nick Mayo (Marshfield, Mass.) had two assists apiece. Junior goalkeeper Matt Brawn (Topsham, Maine) had 27 saves in the losing effort.

Annual Review Portfolios
Every student in the CSLP MA program will develop and maintain an ongoing professional portfolio, to be evaluated once per year by the student's advisory committee.
This portfolio (which can be print, electronic, or a combination) will include samples of the student's work during the degree program–including representative work done in courses (the student should include good, excellent, and even not-so-good work) and professional work done outside courses (e.g., conference presentations).
Each year, the portfolio should also include a reflective essay that provides evidence of reasoning and reflection on how the student's program has affected their research and teaching and their understanding of that work in terms of their professional goals.
This portfolio can serve both as the annual review portfolio and as the basis for certifying exam portfolio, depending on the student's year in the program. (See "Maintaining Academic Good Standing" in Section 5.0 for details on portfolio assessment.)
MA Plan A Thesis
Those Masters students electing Plan A:
- inform their advisory committee chair of that intention no later than the semester prior to writing the thesis;
- prepare a short prospectus (3-5 double-spaced pages, or the equivalent, plus a short bibliography) for the thesis project, in consultation with their chair;
- present the prospectus to the entire advisory committee during the semester before the student plans to finish the thesis, for the committee's approval
- complete at least four (4) credits of AL 899 Masters Thesis Research, usually taken at the end of the MA coursework while writing the thesis;
- complete a thesis (typically 50-100 pages) which (a) is a substantial piece of research or scholarship (typically, article length), (b) shows specific knowledge within the field, (c) shows understanding of the field, and (d) is of publishable quality;
- schedule an oral presentation and defense of that thesis before the advisory committee, which must pass it as a final certifying exam.
The student may decide to replace one or more of the members of the advisory committee so as to suit the planned thesis topic.
The thesis must be prepared in accordance with the specifications provided by the Graduate School; see Section 7.0.
AL 899 Masters Thesis Research
Plan A requires students to complete four (4) credits of AL 899. According to university policy, students may enroll in this course for 1-6 credits at a time (for up to 15 credits). We encourage students to take these all at once, but they may be spread out over more than one semester.
Stage 1. Preparation and Planning
Preparation will vary depending on the scope of the thesis topic; initial discussion of the focus may involve advisory committee members, but especially the chair. Discussion could include samples of coursework or informal ideas. Planning should involve:
- deciding the semester(s) in which to enroll for AL 899 credits;
- any additional courses that may be relevant to the thesis topic;
- an outline;
- a schedule for drafting, consultation with the chair, and time for feedback, and
- discussion with colleagues.
Stage 2. Research and Drafting
While doing research and drafting the project, students work primarily with their chair. It's crucial to stay in regular contact with the chair, providing intermittent progress reports, asking questions, and meeting for discussion as needed or scheduled. It's also crucial to discuss with the chair how to handle revisions and relevant types of feedback.
Stage 3. Completion
The student works with the advisory committee chair to draft and revise sections of the project. The chair approves the sections for release to the other committee members for review and feedback. This helps to make the best use everyone's time and energy.
Stage 4. Oral Defense
Once a final version of your thesis has been approved, the student schedules the oral exam. The exam will focus not only on the thesis, but also on the student's coursework. The candidate may prepare questions for the oral exam in collaboration with the chair. Typically the candidate makes a brief presentation of the thesis to the committee before the questioning.
MA Plan B Certifying Portfolio Examination
The purpose of the portfolio certifying exam is to enable the CSLP MA candidate to articulate a coherent understanding of the major issues in Critical Studies in Literacy and Pedagogy, integrating a range of topics from composition studies to reading theories to language/literacy issues and other related professional concerns.
Program Philosophy about Exams
In this program we view exams as important for helping students develop professional knowledge and expertise about their core field and areas of specialization. Exams are designed to help students review, assimilate, synthesize, and reflect on their knowledge and learning at a more advanced, professional level of understanding than individual courses typically achieve. Exams show the student's ability to reflect on and synthesize knowledge gained; to develop new knowledge and expertise; and to present knowledge and to advance an argument within the field at large, not simply for an individual instructor.
Exams are opportunities for reflection and integration that move students forward as scholars and teachers. In short, we use exams to promote each student's professional development. Given our view of exams, it should not be surprising to learn that portfolio work constitutes a significant portion (50%) of the MA Plan B exam.
The MA Plan B exam is based on the required coursework for the MA in CSLP, plus other significant elective coursework the student has taken to complete her/his program of study. The exam should be taken as soon as possible after completing these courses. The exam will be developed and graded by the student's advisory committee. The exam itself consists of two parts.
The portfolio will contain five representative essays or projects drawn from coursework in the Masters program. Three of the essays must focus on each of the core areas in the program:
- writing pedagogy
- literacy theory (WRA 992)
- research and issues in writing studies (WRA 878 or TE 835)
The final two projects may be from any other courses taken for the CSLP MA. (Professors' grades/comments need not be included.) From the five pieces of work selected for the portfolio, students will write a reflective essay (8-10 pages) demonstrating an integrated and coherent understanding of the issues in the field and a developing expertise in the literacy pedagogy.
The portfolio is usually completed during the last semester of work and should be submitted to the candidate's advisory committee chair at least four (4) weeks prior to the end of the semester.
The candidate's certifying portfolio will be evaluated by the candidate's advisory committee, with results reported within three weeks after submission. A candidate who fails the portfolio assessment may revise the portfolio under the committee's advisory. (See "Maintaining Academic Good Standing" in Section 5.0, for more details on assessment.)
Transfer Credits
Up to nine credits may be transferred to the MA program from other accredited institutions, with the approval of the director of Rhetoric & Writing. Students who have taken coursework in the program through Lifelong Education may transfer up to nine credits, with the approval of the director, once they are accepted into the regular degree program.
Petitioning for Course Waiver or Substitution
It is possible to waive one of the course requirements or to substitute a different course for one of the requirements in the MA CSLP program.
It might not be necessary to take a course required by the program if a student has already taken comparable coursework. For example, a cross-listed undergraduate/graduate course in composition studies completed as part of a bachelor's degree might allow the WRA 878 requirement to be waived. When a requirement is waived, there is no credit transfer for the course; in other words, it is a course waiver, not a credit transfer. The student must still complete the required number of credits for the degree, usually by taking a 3-credit elective in place of the required MSU course.
To request a waiver, a memo must be submitted to the director of the graduate program, detailing the request and explaining the rationale for the waiver or substitution. The petition must include copies of the syllabus(i) and reading lists for the course(s). The director will review the request with the graduate committee.
Time Limit for Program
Completion of the MA must occur within six (6) years of entering the program. The clock starts ticking the semester of the first class that is counted toward the degree.

- You shouldn't say it is not good. You should say you do not like it; and then, you know, you're perfectly safe.
- Quoted by Don C. Seitz in Whistler Stories (1913)
Ten O'Clock (1885)[edit]
- Art is a goddess of dainty thought, reticent of habit, abjuring all obtrusiveness, purposing in no way to better others. She is, withal selfishly occupied with her own perfection only — having no desire to teach.
- Art is upon the Town!
- Listen! There was never an artistic period. There was never an art-loving nation.
- Nature is usually wrong.

- Dedication
- To say of a picture, as is often said in its praise, that it shows great and earnest labor, is to say that it is incomplete and unfit for view.

- Industry in art is a necessity—not a virtue—and any evidence of the same, in the production, is a blemish, not a quality; a proof, not of achievement, but of absolutely insufficient work, for work alone will efface the footsteps of work.
- Propositions, 2
- The masterpiece should appear as the flower to the painter—perfect in its bud as in its bloom—with no reason to explain its presence—no mission to fulfill—a joy to the artist, a delusion to the philanthropist—a puzzle to the botanist—an accident of sentiment and alliteration to the literary man.
- Propositions, 2
- As music is the poetry of sound, so is painting the poetry of sight, and the subject-matter has nothing to do with harmony of sound or of colour. The great musicians knew this. Beethoven and the rest wrote music — simply music; symphony in this key, concerto or sonata in that. . . . Art should be independent of all claptrap — should stand alone, and appeal to the artistic sense of eye or ear, without confounding this with emotions entirely foreign to it, as devotion, pity, love, patriotism, and the like. All these have no kind of concern with it; and that is why I insist on calling my works 'arrangements' and 'harmonies.'
- Propositions, 2
- It is for the artist...in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features.
