Questions About Your Community: Lead in Drinking Water
There are many sources of lead in our industrialized society. The air we breath may contain lead from automobile exhaust or industrial discharges. Soil, especially in cities, may contain lead particles from the air or be contaminated by lead paint flaking off the foundation or siding of a building. Dust, both inside and outside the house may also contain lead, especially if lead paint was removed improperly.
The food we eat and the water we drink may be a source of lead as well. Most drinking water supplies, whether underground or from a surface source such as a lake or reservoir, contain little if any lead. Lead usually gets into our drinking water after it leaves the local water treatment plant or private well. The most common cause or lead contamination is lead materials in the interior plumbing especially pipes and solder. The corrosive water dissolves the lead from lead containing pipes, solder, fluxes and alloys, like brass faucets or fittings. The longer the water is in the piping, more lead it will pick up. Fortunately, if the water is not too corrosive, a protective film may form on the inside of pipes, reducing the amount of lead in the water.
For more information about lead in your drinking water and measures you can take to protect you and your family from lead exposure contact your state agency.

Anderson's Henry finds Clemson success from unlikely source
Laurianne Henry needed a coach.
Andy Johnston didn't know it, but he needed a reason to get back into tennis.
Together, they've forged a mutually beneficial partnership that eventually helped Clemson land a true rarity on its roster — a local talent.
Henry, an Anderson native, has become a lineup fixture for Clemson, which faces Stanford today in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Women's Tennis Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
The freshman clinched the Tigers' second-round win over Michigan and has fought through several injuries for a bright college future.
Johnston, the Tigers' former women's tennis coach, has rekindled his love for tennis, which, in turn, helped fuel the formation and growth of Brookstone Meadows' year-old tennis club with the help of his wife, Sophie Woorons-Johnston.
"It's pretty neat," Johnston said. "It's a win-win for Clemson."
Five years ago, such results would have seemed unlikely.
From 1983-97, Johnston was the winningest women's tennis coach in Clemson history. But, after becoming Clemson's assistant athletics director for football management, he largely gave up the game.
"Football was so overwhelming that I had to learn to do my job," Johnston said. "I was looking for another challenge. I wasn't hitting or getting involved with junior (players)."
That changed in 2003, when Johnston received a call from a Georgia coach, who told him about Henry, a home-schooled player who needed some guidance.
"Andy was done with tennis at the time," Henry said, "but we called him to see if I could have a lesson. It all started from there."
Johnston was taken by Henry's enthusiasm.
"Getting to meet her and her attitude was infectious for me," he said. "Hitting with her and her sister, it was infectious how they were. Laurianne showed up excited to get better, and that sparked me."
Henry credits Johnston with developing her all-around game, both physical and mental. She was considered the nation's No. 12 player when she signed with Clemson.
"He is so smart on the tennis court with what he taught me mentally, and what he gave to me to have an all-court game, he taught me all that," Henry said. "Mostly, mentally, he was amazing with staying positive."
In turn, her voracious work ethic — a typical "off" day involved practice, a workout at the YMCA and a pickup tennis match — made Johnston a believer.
"The thing that made her a player was her work ethic," Johnston said. "She's tireless. We'd do drills and she'd sprint to the other side and that would fire me up. I wanted her to take days off and she hated to take days off."
When it came time to pick a college, Henry had lots of options — including Georgia, UCLA and Stanford.
Johnston has strong ties to Clemson — drive through campus during lunchtime on any weekday, and you'll find him jogging with football coach Tommy Bowden — but he didn't push the Tigers' program.
"I said it was her decision," he said. "I told her, 'I'm not going with you.' "
Instead, the Tigers' international roster won Henry over. Other than West Virginia native Kathryn Gerber, every player is foreign, hailing from Bosnia, France, Ecuador, Croatia, Brazil, Spain and The Netherlands.
"That's the main reason I came here," Henry said. "To get away from the Americans I'd play all the time. I learned so much from them, the culture, everything, it's amazing. They cherish everything given to them, and it's really cool."
Clemson coach Nancy Harris agrees.
"Laurianne is homegrown and she's the best you can be," Harris said. "She's a great tennis player and one of the top Americans in the country, and we were fortunate to get her to come to Clemson."
Henry has fought through a litany of injuries this season, including a shoulder that required arthroscopic surgery and a strained Achilles tendon, which sidelined her for over two months.
Since returning to the singles lineup in early April, she's 9-0. In turn, Clemson is riding a 12-match winning streak that dates back to late March.
She won't compete in the singles competition, which follows the team championships, but if Henry starts her sophomore season like she has finished her first, it'd be tough to keep her out of the bracket next May.
"Her potential is unlimited," Johnston said. "She's getting stronger. She could be top 20 in college for sure, and I'd hate to limit her. I'd hate to put parameters on her. Anytime someone says she can't do something, she proves them wrong."

My life outside of PAL...
It may be hard to believe that being a flawlessly radical peer advisor isn't my only extracurricular activity, but while PAL has become a very rewarding part of this semester for me, my time outside of class is consumed with many more activities that have really enriched my time here and helped me educate myself beyond the classroom setting.
My absolute favorite extracurricular, and the one that takes up most of my time, is being the co-director of the ASUC Sustainability Team. The purpose of STeam (as we affectionately call it) is to implement projects that make the Berkeley campus and community a greener and more environmentally friendly place. Our current projects this semester range from starting an organic farmer's market on campus to converting the campus fleet to biodiesel, and from hosting a climate change fair and raising awareness about global warming to creating ASUC legislation to prevent excess flyering and paper waste on campus. We are an environmentally-minded and extremely motivated team and we get a lot of projects done on campus! For more information, you can check out our website at http://sustainability.asuc.org.
Another club I'm involved with here at Cal is the Cal Hiking and Outdoor Society (CHAOS). I love getting out to camp, backpack, hike, swim, paddle, or basically anything that involves the outdoors, and CHAOS is a really great organization to help me do just that. Some of the advantages are access to a fully-stocked gear library, club hiking and snowboarding trips, and meeting 50 new people who all love getting outside as much as I do! I also love to write, and work with the Cal Literary Arts Magazine (CLAM) and the Berkeley Poetry Review to publish my poems and help them edit their yearly publications.
As I mentioned in my last blog, I was also a CalSO (Cal Student Orientation) Counselor this summer, and I still work for them to help recruit new counselors to the CalSO Team. CalSO was a really great opportunity for me to get involved outside of classes, meet a lot of really great people, and make connections with college and campus officials. It still remains one of the most intense and rewarding jobs I think I've ever had, and the most fun 8 weeks I've had in a while.
I also work at the Newspapers and Microforms Library in 40 Doe of the Main Stacks. Gotta make some money to pay my rent somehow, right? I work about 11 hours a week on top of my other school activities, but it's a great chance for me to listen to my iPod while shelving microfiche and processing periodicals...
When I'm not busy with the rest of this stuff (which doesn't leave too much leftover time..) I like backpacking, hiking, spending time with friends, reading, listening to music, going to yoga classes, painting, and SLEEPING! I'm pretty sure I love that last one most of all... it's the one I do the least ;)

Only $23.95
Click Add to Cart and choose your flavor.
Best Deal: Auto Ship Every 3 Month ($32.54/month) "Includes Free Shipping!"

The perfect protein for building lean, toned muscle.
Ultra Potent Whey delivers premium bioavailable whey protein in a non-fat, ultra low carb formula. Whey protein is the industry standard for post workout recovery. Not all proteins are created equal, and the building blocks of whey protein are ideally suited to help your body develop lean, toned muscle while also reducing fat stores. You work out to build toned muscle and lose body fat. However, the cardio you do to burn fat can also cause your body to breakdown the very muscle you are trying to tone and strengthen with resistance training. This slows your metabolism and makes it harder to stay lean in the long term. Whey protein helps prevent this.
Ultra Potent Whey is specifically engineered to maximize the muscle protecting effects of whey. It is completely lactose-free, very low in sodium, and contains no cholesterol. It is available in Vanilla and Chocolate flavors, and is naturally sweetened with Stevia. We use an exclusive flavor system guaranteed to be free of MSG and other Exitotoxins – chemical components of other sweeteners that can lead to stress, irritability, and poor sleep quality. Each 30 gram serving contains 26 grams of high quality protein and only 1 gram of carbohydrate.
Ultra Potent Whey is a superb supplement choice to support lean muscle development and post-workout recovery if your goal is to tone and reduce body fat without bulking up.
- Supports recovery after workout
- Helps increase lean body mass
- Only 1 gram of carbs per serving
- Naturally sweetened (no aspartame or other artificial sweeteners)
- Super bioavailable whey

No one will miss the Rohe farm precisely the way Robert Glisson will. The Syracuse artist spent countless hours out in the fields painting the third-generation Rohe family farm's Holsteins.
Glisson will exhibit "A Tribute to Rohe Farm," featuring scenes painted in oil on canvas and paper, Nov. 1 to 30 at Maxwell Memorial Library.
The Rohe dairy herd, numbering over 100, was sold Oct. 10. Steve and Trish Rohe will continue to farm their land on Onondaga Hill, but without the cows, according to an Oct. 9 article in the Post-Standard.
Glisson's paintings have mystical quality about them, an infusion of light that creates dramatic contrasts in color. He paints landscapes - and cowscapes - en plein air to capture his immediate impression of color and light. However, he writes in a statement for Alden Gallery in Provincetown, Mass., which represents him, "I am not interested in an exact depiction of a scene.
"I am really more concerned about the emotional response. As I paint, I will add or subtract shapes, push spatial planes, break down an object into an abstraction, and exaggerate color in order to best represent that emotion," he explains.
The overriding emotion of the "Tribute" exhibit may well be bittersweet nostalgia.
Glisson earned a bachelor's degree in studio art from Cortland State College and continued to study painting and figure drawing at Syracuse University. He has done commissioned portraits, landscape paintings and illustration work for the Syracuse Chiefs, Stamford Science & Nature Museum, Prometheus Book Publishers and many others. His work may be found in many private collections, as well.
November's exhibit at Maxwell Library is free and open to the public during library operating hours, except when events are taking place in the Community Room. The artist will hold no reception.
Maxwell Memorial Library is located at 14 Genesee St. in the village of Camillus. For more information, call 672-3661, go to maxwellmemoriallibrary.org, or drop by.

|The Game Story:
|Plymouth State Escapes Southern Maine in Conference Opener, 8-6
GORHAM, Maine - Sophomore Steve Skinner (Hingham, Mass.) netted a pair of goals, including the eventual game-winner late in the fourth quarter to lead the Plymouth State College Panthers to an 8-6 triumph over the host University of Southern Maine Huskies in the Little East Conference opener for each team on Wednesday afternoon at Paula Hodgdon Field.
The game marked the third all-time meeting between the two clubs, and Plymouth State has won the three contests. The Panthers improved to 2-4 on the season and 1-0 in the conference, and will entertain Eastern Connecticut on Saturday. Southern Maine, which slipped to 2-4 and 0-1, will also return to action on Saturday when it travels to Salem State.
After trailing 4-2 at the break, Southern Maine rallied to tie the affair at 5-5 on a goal by junior midfielder Dan Soule (South Portland, Maine) with 5:35 remaining in the third quarter. However, Plymouth State responded with three straight goals to take control of the game.
The Panthers took the lead for good at 3:50 of the third period on a goal by freshman Jon Gagnon (New Bedford, Mass.), and Skinner netted the decisive goal with 4:55 remaining in the contest. Freshman Bobby DaBrieo (Woburn, Mass.) added an insurance goal with 1:20 left in the game.
Southern Maine sophomore Jon Gagne (Eliot, Maine) scored his second goal of the game with 47 seconds remaining to account for the 8-6 final score.
For Plymouth State Dabrieo and Gagnon also scored two goals, while senior Ken McGuire (Wayland, Mass.) scored one goal and added three assists.
Freshman goalie Michael Rodrick (Plaistow, N.H.) turned aside 13 shots for Plymouth State, while freshman Jeff Lamoureux (Walpole, Mass.) had 15 saves for Southern Maine.

Comments about Ibanez Talman Series TCM50NT Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
This guitar is definitely made to be amplified, what it's not plugged in there is not a lot of sound, unplugged it basically sounds like strings strung over a cardboard box. But I like the sound of it plugged in.
If you're thinking it's going to replace your acoustic guitar think again it is size wise an electric guitar has the electric guitar feel.
In my opinion this is overpriced you get what you pay for and I guess maybe I was expecting something else but I don't think it's worth the money, sorry Ibanez.
I have other guitars but it cost less money by Alvarez and Washburn to blow this boat out of the freaking water.

Comments about Ibanez Talman Series TCM50NT Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
My TCM50NT sounds great for its' size. It's a pretty instrument that is great for travel and using with small or large amp. I keep it on a kitchen chair connected to a small practice amp so it is handy to play all the time. Nice instrument for small spaces.

The Super Moon
Marcia Lee Jones
Photograph - Photography
The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth, and the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System. It is the largest natural satellite of a planet in the Solar System relative to the size of its primary, having 27% the diameter and 60% the density of Earth, resulting in 1⁄81 its mass. The Moon is the second densest satellite after Io, a satellite of Jupiter.
The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth, always showing the same face with its near side marked by dark volcanic maria that fill between the bright ancient crustal highlands and the prominent impact craters. It is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun, although its surface is actually very dark, with a reflectance similar to that of coal. Its prominence in the sky and its regular cycle of phases have, since ancient times, made the Moon an important cultural influence on language, calendars, art and mythology. The Moon's gravitational influence produces the ocean tides and the minute lengthening of the day. The Moon's current orbital distance, about thirty times the diameter of the Earth, causes it to appear almost the same size in the sky as the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun nearly precisely in total solar eclipses. This matching of apparent visual size is a coincidence. The Moon's linear distance from the Earth is currently increasing at a rate of 3.82�0.07cm per year, but this rate is not constant.

SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
Sorry you're dealing with that frustration, Nyanko.
Speaking of which - my cat, Artemis, has been really interested in going out on our balcony so I let her out there under supervision yesterday. She immediately went to the railing and got into a jumping posture. I'm pretty sure she wanted to chase the squirrels but still not ok with her hurting herself and running off.
Isn't no interaction with other species a bit unnatural? I doubt there are many animals in the wild that never see or interact with other animals.
So what are organizations that you guys like and support? I like writing about that stuff in my blog, so I need more ideas.
How dare you suppress your cat's natural instincts and keep her from doing whatever makes her happy!!
I support my local shelter and AAHA. If I knew my local rescues better, I would support them, too.
I'm also a member of the AVMA currently - but only because they give me free CE at this point and my corporation paid for my membership.
she's really not all that bright (read: used to run into the wall headfirst). I value her companionship more than her happiness at following her instincts
I started out like that, honestly. First year I had enough of a background that I could still manage well enough. This year has flattened me cause most of it is new and I'm still doing that.
I think Emiloo was being sarcastic...
i invite these people to come to a caribbean island where the above is "pet ownership." come see and decide for yourselves whether dogs fending for themselves makes them better off (hint hint the top two things we see at our animal hospital are HBCs and ehrlichiosis and a bit less commonly, poisonings)
oops forgot to mention all the canine TVT we have down here! and the average life span of an island dog seems to be maybe 5 yrs
I was just adding backstory. Don't worry, I caught the sarcasm.
I would have thought heartworm would be pretty common, too.
we probably do, i just haven't personally seen a case of it at our hospital yet. but we always have a slew of broken things (and they have to stay the entire healing time post-op b/c we have incredibly low rates of owner compliance) and everything is always ehrlichia positive (even students have a lot of problems because the tick population here is rampant! rigorous pet prevention and environmental precautions don't keep the suckers away)
haha, okay, sorry, just making sure.
and, my cat is probably exactly as dumb as yours, but with an almost nonstop play/hunter attitude, which is one of many reasons why she is never going to get to go outdoors.
I think the best part of her new found fascination of the balcony is that she is absolutely terrified of going out the front door to get outside. Even when I've taken her to grassy areas. But the balcony is great!
She also has the hunter attitude and loves to eat flies - even ones I can't really see. Hence, the name Artemis.
Haha. I learned little bit about this stuff when I took my entomology class during the fall semester of my senior year. By far my favorite class.I actually think I would consider studying entomology further if i ever get the chance. Anywho, I decided to refrain from informing my roommates about how much is actually allowed into food production because they already weren't happy about my pet cockroach and I was afraid that they would all stop eating, especially the vegetarian who doesn't eat much to begin with.
I worry how my cat will handle a balcony (if I am every lucky enough to have one). She loves lounging on the couch in the sun, so I'd love to be able to let her chill on a sunny balcony, but until she gets older and calms down some, I seriously worry about what she would do if a bird/bug flew by.

When I lived in a condo in L.A. my cat LOVED the balcony, but she would jump up on the ledge (which had a metal rail on top of the stone). Freaked us out. Then she started trying to climb from one balcony to another (they were sort of angled - we were a corner of the unit).
So we hired a contractor to install plexiglass behind the railing, and between the buildings. She then had her own plexiglass tunnel. She LOVED it. She would watch birds but never made a move towards one thankfully. For a few years, I think she forgot we existed she was so happy.
Now she is as clingy as ever.
Bees die when they sting. Vegans better not let themselves get stung.
8 week old puppy at our clinic that the owners "forgot to feed.' For a week. Are you serious.
Are you ****ing kidding me?!
You should "forget" to call animal services and report them.
Sadly, this wouldn't surprise me at the clinic I work for. It's part of a humane society so we get crazy stories like this all the time. We recently had someone surrender a 6 month old puppy because their 3 yr old son wasn't taking care of it. They were 100% serious. The puppy got adopted like two days later once he was neutered.
Uhhh, I have no words to describe this Penguins/Flyers game.
haha I was just about to go on the Rave thread and talk about how I can't look away
For someone who doesn't care about either team, this is awesome!
There's nothing better than watching two Penn teams beat the sh*t out of each other!
I mean, I can't turn away either. I don't understand how either team still really has players left to play...if they ever manage to start the game back up again.
I'm working this weekend and FINALLY got a chance to look at the score just now. What the hell happened?!?! The only thing I can say is that I wanted the Flyers to lose more than I want to see the Devils win tonight. Think I'll go depress myself with the box score before I get the heck out of here. This will also provide enough time for the drunks to leave the bar down the street from me (or at least I hope). **sigh**
Box Score... Penalties = 13 simultaneous at 15:18 in the 3rd??? Good lord! But I am really sad that I missed the fight in the first between Crosby and Giroux. I hope Crosby left a mark!
3 year olds now a days are just so spoiled and privileged they aren't even taking care of puppies? Well back in my days...... ah **** it. No cushioning that story.
I was thinking the same thing ... can't even make a decent joke because it is so stupid/absurd ....

I think someone has an invisible energy sucking gun pointed at me, and they have been using it constantly.
I really want to think that it was a misunderstanding - like mom thought dad was feeding him, dad thought mom was feeding him, but unfortunately that's not the vibe I got from the owners at all. He's been getting some treats and such from the kids, but apparently no regular meals since they got him from the breeder. (Not to mention he shouldn't have been sold so young...) He's super sweet and is a little tiny yorkie puppy that can pretty much sit in the palm of my hand.
That would make sense as to why I just want to sleep ALL the time. (But in my case it may just be stress/depression ....)

Love you Roxy
Wasn't much of a fight really. Just some jostling and grappling wresting stuff. Philly owns Pittsburgh. All you need to know.
Went to bed at 1, up at 5. I effing hate finals week!!!!!!!!!!!!
My inner dr. doolittle thinks Roxy has this to say:
"I do not approve of this message. Take me with you!"
I wish I could get my cats to understand that I do not wake when they want me to. I keep them on a strict schedule for feeding and ignore them until I leave the bedroom (they aren't allowed in because the husband is allergic). But I want to be able to sleep until my alarm clock goes off.
Do you have some of those sit outside the door pawing at it and yowling? I have one of those... I swear she does it just to irritate me, because then she leaves me alone once I open the door.
This is actually where I am in my head right now. If I think about it, I don't actually like the way a lot of animals are raised and/or their products produced - swine is probably top of the list followed by layers. I don't think raising animals for food or killing them for food is wrong at all, but I've taken steps toward finding animal products that (at least in my opinion) are raised in a better situation than the more traditional practices. I've cut pork out of my diet entirely (for now, at least), buy free range eggs and just eat less meat in general.
I have my own tiny flock of backyard hens just for this reason. Never thought we would be able to do it because we live in a SUPER residential area and barely have a backyard, but it's a lot easier to do than you'd think. I'd recommend it to anyone. Chickens are really easy to take care of. They just poop a lot, and everywhere...
All this talk about the treatment of food animals just makes me shake my head LOL. I was asked about the treatment of production animals in my K state interview. I answered honestly that I understand the farmer's side that they need to produce at very high numbers and in a lot of cases for low margins. But that I also understand that animal welfare is very important like keeping large numbers of animals in a small space.
Well one of my interviewers kind of ripped me a new one telling me that I am very misinformed. Animal producers have done a vast amount of research on this because it is in their best interest to have healthy happy animals. Got an example with chickens in that if they are given an open door they don't use it.
..... I did not get in there ....

Now that I'm in a much more rural area, there seems to be more opportunity for this kind of thing. A guy has a backyard flock about 2mins down the road with fresh eggs, there's a dairy farm that raises broiler chickens free range and I've heard of people with free range pork. Unfortunately there are also coyotes and big-ass foxes out here so chickens take a little more effort to wrangle them up every night so they don't get eaten
That's the thing about food animals kept traditionally: they're very healthy and well-cared for. Some of it is because they're the profit, and some of it is because the farmer cares about their animals. I don't doubt that. But I don't think health is a complete assessment of welfare. Nor is keeping your animals outside and ~*free*~ but not giving them things like dewormers or vaccines. I think there's a balance that needs to be achieved between having healthy, cared for animals and animals that get to experience what I imagine are animal pleasures like lying in the sun, digging around in the grass/mud, etc. And really, there are plenty of dairy, beef and sheep operations that incorporate this into their production. It's mostly swine and chickens I have a hard time with.
I actually have a few issues with the dairy industry. Perpetually pregnant etc. But that was my ending statement that there has to be a balance. They didn't like that

Issues 2012
No.6 March 2012
How Obamacare Increases Unemployment
Diana Furchtgott-Roth,
Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute
High unemployment rates are at the top of the list of concerns for American workers. In early March, the Labor Department announced that the unemployment rate held steady at 8.3 percent. The rate has remained above 8 percent for over three years.
Even though an 8.3 percent rate of unemployment is high, it masks a broader employment problem in the workforce. Including discouraged and underemployed workers, the Labor Department's measure of unemployment is 14.9 percent. And many workers have left the labor force because they have not been able to find jobs. The labor force participation rate has declined from 66 percent in January 2009 to 64.9 percent today—a rate that is about equal to the early 1980s.
The mandated $2,000 tax per worker in the new health care law, effective 2014 and levied on employers who do not provide the right kind of health insurance, is discouraging hiring. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 will raise the cost of employment when fully implemented in 2014. Companies with 50 or more workers will be required to offer a generous health insurance package, with no lifetime caps and no copayments for routine visits, or pay an annual penalty of $2,000 for each full-time worker. Moving from 49 to 50 workers will cost a firm $40,000 a year.
Employers see these penalties coming, and they are adjusting their workforces accordingly. The evidence that employers are economizing on workers is all around us. More supermarkets and drug stores have self-scanning machines at checkout. Large department stores have price-scanning machines scattered around the stores, so that shoppers can check prices without asking a clerk. Food trucks line the streets in New York and Washington, D.C., enabling restaurants to sell their food without waiters. These workforce adjustments are just one reason that employment growth has been slower than usual during this economic "recovery."
Hardest hit are workers with fewer jobs skills. The unemployment rate for adult workers with less than a high school diploma is 12.9 percent. Teens face an unemployment rate of 23.8 percent. The rate for African American teens is even higher, at 34.7 percent.
Another group that is disproportionately affected is younger workers. Of the 2 million adults who found jobs over the past year, 1.7 million are over 55 years old, and 300,000 are between 25 and 55—even though the 25 to 55 group is three times the size of those 55 and older. Younger workers have far fewer employment opportunities, which affects their lifetime expected earnings.
The $2,000 per worker penalty raises significantly the cost of employing full-time workers, especially low-skill workers, because the penalty is a higher proportion of their compensation than for high-skill workers, and employers cannot take the penalty out of employee compensation packages.
Suppose that a firm with 49 employees does not provide health benefits. Hiring one more worker will trigger a penalty of $2,000 per worker multiplied by the entire workforce, after subtracting the statutory exemption for the first 30 workers. In this case the tax would be $40,000, or $2,000 times 20 (50 minus 30). Indeed, a firm in this situation might have a strong incentive not to hire a 50th worker, or to pay him off the books, thereby violating the law.
In addition, if an employer offers insurance, but an employee qualifies for subsidies under the new health care exchanges because the insurance premium exceeds 9.5 percent of his income, his employer pays a penalty of $3,000 per worker. This combination of penalties gives a business a powerful incentive to downsize, replace full-time employees with part-timers, and contract out work to other firms or individuals.
The new law will make it harder for small businesses with 50 or more employees to compete with those with fewer than 50 employees.
When the employer mandates are phased in 2014, many businesses will be motivated to reduce the number of locations and move workers from full-time to part-time status. This will reduce employment still further and curtail the country's economic growth.
Industries that have traditionally offered the greatest opportunities to entry-level workers—leisure and hospitality, restaurants—will be particularly hard-hit by the new law. Many of these employers do not now offer health insurance to all of their employees, and employ large percentages of entry-level workers, whose cost of hiring will increase significantly.
Under the new law, for each block of 30 weekly hours of part-time work by one or more employees a business is deemed to have one full-time equivalent employee. The penalty for full-time employees is $2,000 per worker after the first 30 employees.
Businesses with fewer than 50 employees will be the big winners. If they do not hire too many workers—another government-induced disincentive for hiring in this weak labor market—and stay within the 49-person limit, these firms will not have to provide health insurance and will have a cost advantage over the others. Such businesses will be able to compete advantageously against businesses with multiple locations and 50 or more employees.
The $2,000 tax will amount to 15 percent of average annual earnings in the food and beverage industry and 9 percent in retail trade. This is a cost in addition to the employer's share of Social Security and Medicare taxes (7.65 percent, equal to what the employee pays), as well as workers' compensation and unemployment insurance.
When government requires firms to offer benefits, employers will generally prefer to hire part-time workers, who will not be subject to the penalty. Even though the Affordable Care Act counts part-time workers by aggregating their hours to determine the size of a firm, part-time workers are not subject to the $2,000 penalty. Hence, there will be fewer opportunities open for full-time work. Many workers who prefer to work full-time will have an even harder time finding jobs.
In January 2012 over 8 million people were working part-time because they could not find full-time jobs. The new health care law would exacerbate this problem.
In addition to hiring more part-time workers, firms will have an added incentive to become more automated, or machinery-intensive—and employ fewer workers. Fast food restaurants could ship in more precooked food and reheat it, rather than cook it on the premises. Something analogous is already gaining momentum in industries such as DVD rental, where manual labor at retail outlets is being replaced by customer-activated DVD checkout. Supermarkets, drugstores, and large-chain hardware stores also are introducing do-it-yourself customer checkout.
The law, as written, allows some employers to keep existing plans, a term known as "grandfathering." However, restrictions on "grandfathering" in subsequent regulations issued by the Department of Health and Human Services could force up to 80 percent of small businesses to drop their current health insurance plans within three years. They will either replace them with more expensive new plans, or go without insurance altogether and pay the tax, according to the government estimates.[1]
The restaurant industry provides an example of how firms with seasonal, part-time employees, competitive environments, and low profit margins will face new challenges in connection with the provision of health insurance. Some restaurant owners are likely to drop existing coverage that no longer meets the requirements of the Act. Several restaurants received waivers from the Department of Health and Human Services in 2011, but these waivers will not continue into 2014, once the Act is fully phased in. Many restaurants will be penalized because their low-wage workers will choose to get subsidized coverage on the state exchanges.
The disincentive in the Act to hire additional workers is illustrated in Table 1. If a business does not offer health insurance, then, beginning 2014, it will be subject to a tax if it employs more than 49 workers in all its establishments. For 49 workers, the tax is zero. For 50 workers, the tax is $40,000; for 75 workers, it is $90,000; and for 150 workers, the tax is $240,000. Each time a business adds another employee, the tax rises.
On the other hand, as is shown in Table 2, businesses can reduce costs by hiring part-time workers instead of full-time workers. A firm with 85,000 full-time workers and 7,000 part-time workers that does not offer health insurance would pay a tax of $170 million. By keeping the number of hours worked the same, and gradually reducing full-time workers and increasing part-time workers, until the firm reaches 17,000 full-time workers and 92,000 part-time workers, the tax is reduced to $34 million. If the firm abandons full-time workers altogether, admittedly an unlikely option, but useful for illustration, the tax is reduced to zero.
Some businesses could minimize cost by increasing part-time hourly workers, reducing the number of full-time workers, and dropping employer-provided health insurance. Even if businesses choose to offer health insurance to their full-time employees, the Act gives them an incentive to employ more part-time hourly workers than full-time workers in an effort to maximize tax benefits. If Congress leaves these incentives in place, the reduction in full-time employment would be costly to the economy.
With unemployment above 8 percent, it is worth examining the effects of penalties on employment under the new health care law. America cannot afford these negative effects on employment.

Mally Beauty Evercolor Shadow Extender Review & Swatches
Mally Evercolor Eyeshadow Extender Primer had me quite curious when I saw it pop up on QVC recently. I sound like a broken record but I've been trying to find a shadow primer as good as my beloved Urban Decay Primer Potion which isn't as great as it once was. The formula changed dramatically since they introduced the tube packaging and I haven't been able to get the greatest hold ever after that.
Recently Make Up For Ever Eye Primer crossed my path and I'm loving it but I'm always up for something new and exciting which is why I decided I'd give Evercolor Eyeshadow Extender a try. What could it hurt?
Well, it changed my life. Like blew my mind.
You NEED it.
At a glance this looked like one of those shadow base slash primers that brighten eyes up and can be worn alone. But actually, it's completely transparent so it is indeed for shadow priming only.
At $26 for 0.25 oz I was a little scared of the price because hey, I pay $20 for Primer Potion and that's 0.37oz in size. But I assure you, it is worth the extra money particularly if you have oily lids.
Mally is fond of calling her makeup bulletproof and let me tell you, Evercolor Eyeshadow Extender is indeed bulletproof. Nothing is getting passed this. It will hold eyeshadows, loose pigments and minerals, and cream shadow for 24 hour straight if that's what you need. This stuff is amazing.
The formula is a lightweight beige that applies transparently. The texture is somewhat similiar to Primer Potion or even Make Up For Ever's Primer but it has a certain tackiness to it. Don't worry, the tack isn't a bother at all and the primer blends perfectly well on lids. The glue-like feel of it mattifies the eye amazingly. It's as if you're coating your lid and completely sealing off the area and creating a waterproof "skin" for shadow to adhere to. I had my sister try a little of it since she has super oily lids (mine are drier) and she was absolutely astounded with how well it mattified them. I don't have oily lids but even I can feel how it seals moisture off the area and creates a perfect base for powder.
Needless to say it wears strong and long and allows shades to remain crease-free and fade proof until you're ready to remove them.
Overall, it'll set you back a little bit more than you might be used to paying for your regular primer of choice but to me it was well worth it. I hate to say it but this is taking the place of my MUFE Primer immediately. I think I've finally found my HG (holy grail) Eyeshadow Primer again. I won't be without this one.
LOVES it!
You NEED it.
Obviously Muse Approved for purchase.
Tried it?
Do share!
You can get it at QVC.com
This review contains a sample
product sent for consideration by PR.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
6/12/12 10:35 Cj:
Lol! Don't you hate it when you find a product that's total HG status and then in less than a week you find a better one? 😛 I'm loving the Edward bess eyeshadow base btw
6/12/12 10:48 Cj:
Well it is Tuesday? Will that work as an excuse lol!
6/12/12 19:01 Melissa:
I found the MUFE primer to be a disappointment, shadows faded in 4 hours or so. I might have to splurge on this one. thanks for the review@
6/12/12 19:07 Michelle D:
I have oily skin and none of the primers I've tried have worked for me. I'll have to check this out.
6/12/12 22:19 Diane:
I want it!
6/13/12 9:59 Crystal:
I'm so glad to hear its good. I went a little crazy Mally shopping last night while she was on QVC and I have a bunch of stuff coming but next time I'm adding this to the shopping cart!
6/13/12 10:40 Crystal:
I got the Earth Angel eyeshadow trio (was $50 on special for $35! w/free shipping) and I got the Perfect Bright Lip 2 piece sets in Sexy Siren and Frisky Fuchsia. I can't wait till I get them:)
6/13/12 17:02 Diane:
Earth angel trio is my fave shadows EVER! Oh muse, u so silly to pass it up! I almost got a backup bc of the price lol. I have a youtube review on it! Crystal will u please let me know how u like the frisky fuscia bright lip?? I was drooling over it. I caved and got the illuminizer

The Economy Is Worse Than the Unemployment Rate Shows
Since the recession began, the proportion of adults working or looking for work has fallen to its lowest level in decades. In fact, if all those discouraged workers were still counted as unemployed, there would have been no drop at all in the unemployment rate in the past three years. The reason the jobs situation remains bad, explains James Sherk, has less to do with layoffs than with a lack of new hiring:
Employers hired 13 million new employees in the second quarter of 2012—15 percent fewer than the 15.3 million new workers hired in the last quarter of 2007. Unemployment remains high primarily because businesses are creating fewer new jobs—not because of increased layoffs. […]
Job creation and new hiring remain low for several reasons. The most prominent are the lingering effects of the collapse of the housing bubble and resulting financial crisis, as well as the domestic consequences of the economic slowdowns in Europe and
. The China government has also contributed to the problem. Excessive taxes and increased regulation discourage risk-taking and investment. Prominent leaders in Congress have announced their intentions to raise taxes by $500 billion in January 2013. The Administration has increased the regulatory burden facing businesses, especially in health care. U.S.
Small-business owners report that tax burden and government red tape are significant problems. In fact, small-business owners are statistically as likely to cite either taxes (21 percent) or regulations and red tape (21 percent) as poor sales (20 percent) as their single greatest problem.

The California Cook: A school of anchovies
Once many years ago I came across a fish vendor at the farmers market with a whole tray full of beautiful fresh anchovies. On a sudden impulse, I bought them all. Real anchovies — the ones that have been packed in salt to last — are an essential flavoring, the garlic of the sea.

Immokalee found out the hard way last season that it's not always the most talented group of players that wins games — it's the best team.
The Indians have Division I talent at almost every position, but that won't matter if they implode or lose focus like they did in last year's regional championship game.
Immokalee steamrolled opponents in 2011, outscoring them by an average of five touchdowns a game during a 9-1 regular season. Against Palmetto in the Class 5A regional final, however, the Indians faced adversity and didn't respond well. Immokalee was stunned after falling behind by two scores early on before losing 42-21.
This year, with nearly all of its entire starting lineup back, Immokalee dreams of the school's second state championship. To reach such heights, the Indians know they have to stay grounded and play together.
"We don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves like last year and be overconfident," fourth-year starting quarterback Tshumbi Johnson said. "We have to be focused on staying together as a team and playing how we're supposed to play."
Immokalee might be one of the most skilled teams in the state this fall. The Indians have at least one player committed to a Division I college in every unit: both backfields, both lines, the receiving corps and the linebackers.
In the third season of his effort to rebuild Immokalee into the state power it was in the middle part of last decade, coach Jerrod Ackley knows the Indians will need more than physical talent. That's why he spent the spring and much of preseason practice toughening his players up mentally.
Ackley has put pressure on the Indians in practice. He's thrown them into stressful situations and worked on them with team building. He's also cranked up their conditioning since several of the Division I prospects will play on both sides of the ball.
"(The regional final) was the first time we saw adversity early in the game and we started to break down," Ackley said. "Players were fighting each other; we hung our heads. We've really challenged them to be as strong mentally as they are physically, to always have each others' backs and battle through adversity."
If Immokalee wants to win its first state title since 2004 and match Naples High as the only area team with two championships, 2012 is the year to do it. The Indians have 17 players back with starting experience, and many of them are in their third year playing significant varsity minutes.
Immokalee turned a corner last year, from a 5-6 team that lost in the first round of the playoffs to a title contender. With all of their star players back, including five players who have verbally committed to colleges in Bowl Championship Series conferences and three more with BCS offers, Ackley expects the Indians to take another leap forward this season.
"We're trying to come together as a family and just win — that's all," said offensive and defensive lineman Deadrin Senat, who has scholarship offers from 20 BCS schools.
The Indians will be tested early, and that was Ackley's plan. Immokalee opens the season with a trip to the Orlando area to face Sanford-Seminole, a traditional Class 8A power. In Week 4, the Indians go to Lake Wales, which beat Immokalee last year and went 9-2.
Then, of course, there's the annual showdown with rival Naples on Sept. 7. The Golden Eagles will be thirsty for revenge after losing to Immokalee last season, and this year the game is at Naples.
"It's good for a team to have to face challenges on the field," Ackley said. "We tried to create that early in the season with the long-term goal in mind to learn to battle through adversity and stay together as a team."
