Auto-Forwarding Carousels and Accordions Annoy Users and Reduce Visibility
Summary: The user's target was at the top of the page in 98-point font. But she failed to find it because the panel auto-rotated instead of staying still.
We recently ran a usability study in the U.K. where one user was attempting the following task: "Does Siemens have any special deals on washing machines?"
Without much trouble, the user arrived at this homepage for Siemens Appliances in the U.K.:
What do you think? Could the user answer the question? Given that the biggest item on the homepage — in both screen space and font size — is an offer of £100 off "selected Siemens appliances" next to a large photo of a washing machine, you would think so. For good measure, the same offer is featured in a small promotion tile in the right margin.
Nonetheless, the user failed the task. After an extended visit to the website — including much time scrutinizing this homepage — the user gave up and assumed that Siemens didn't have any special deals for her. (Her concluding comment? "I wouldn't choose [a Siemens appliance] unless I was very rich." )
Small Promo Box: Ignored
We can easily dismiss the small promotion on the right. We don't even need a test to know that most users will ignore this design element for three reasons:
- Most important: banner blindness. This promotion looks so much like an ad that users are bound to ignore it.
- Placement in the right column drastically reduces the number of users who will see the item; most user attention focuses on the left side of web pages.
- Finally, the wording is user-repelling. Even if users do look (unlikely), few will click the box. Yes, there's a nice big "£100" attention grabber, but the main copy is "Rewarding.Life.Style." This is content-free content to at least 99% of humans outside Siemens' marketing department. (Granted, I never wrote a column about the guideline that copywriting should make sense, but I thought it was self-evident. For an analysis of an often-tortured writing genre, see my discussion of taglines.)
Big Carousel-Like Accordion: Ignored
As the above screenshot shows, the page's big box has two points against it: it uses fancy formatting (which is often ignored), and it looks somewhat like a banner.
However, to identify the real conversion killer, you need one more clue that can't be deduced from a static screenshot:
- The box looks like an accordion, but it acts more like a carousel because it auto-rotates to show a new panel every 5 seconds.
Deadly. Accordions and carousels should show a new panel only when users ask for it. Otherwise, it should stand still and let users read the information in peace, without having the rug yanked from under them. As our user said about Siemens' big rotating box: "I didn't have time to read it. It keeps flashing too quickly."
Auto-forwarding causes many usability problems:
- Moving UI elements usually reduce accessibility, particularly for users with motor skill issues who have difficulty clicking something before it's taken away.
- Low-literacy users often don't have enough time to read the information before it's removed.
- International users also read more slowly if your site is not in their native language, and thus won't be able to understand a panel if it's displayed only briefly.
- The probability that users will spot the item they want is drastically reduced when only one thing is displayed at any given time; in the Siemens example, the discount deal is visible only 20% of the time.
- It's just plain annoying for users to lose control of the user interface when things move around of their own accord.
Most important, because it moves, users automatically assume that it might be an advertisement, which makes them more likely to ignore it.
In my example, the user didn't see the £100 offer during her initial review of the top of the page. She then scrolled down a bit, and never saw the full box during her remaining time on the homepage.
The big box's dysfunctional design is further impaired by an even worse use of content-free content than the small box. In the accordion, the meaningless phrase Rewarding.Life.Style is used as the link text for the button to show the discount offer.
Although worthless word count is always wasteful, given how little users read on a website, it's downright disastrous to use worthless words for a link. Information scent is one of the main determinants of successful navigation: people only click links that (a) make sense and (b) describe something they want.
This example design is flawed in so many ways, but the worst offense is probably in making something move that should be static. It's sad to think that extra money was wasted on jazzing up this design with harmful moving features, rather than just creating simple content that clearly communicates the company's value proposition.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- The son of the DC sniper says he knows his father's crimes will follow him, but he doesn't want to be judged by them.
Striking an almost defensive chord, following the execution of his father, Lindbergh Williams, 27, said Friday, "I am my own man and make my own decisions."
John Muhammad was put to death by lethal injection Tuesday in Virginia for killing Dean Harold Meyers at a gas station during a 2002 killing spree that stretched across several states. His son said he was with his father the day of his execution, but they didn't talk about the killings.
Muhammad, formerly known as John Allen Williams, grew up in Baton Rouge. His family is planning a funeral Tuesday in the city.

KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii (AP) — How President Barack Obama spent the seventh day of his family's holiday vacation in Hawaii on Friday:
— MORNING WORKOUT: Obama began his morning as he did many other days of his vacation by exercising at a gym at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. On the way back to the Kailua vacation home, a child sat on a shirtless man's shoulders watching the passing motorcade and children jumped on a trampoline.
— BEACH TIME: Obama joined the first family and friends in the late morning under sunny skies at a beach at Bellows Air Force Station in Waimanalo. It was a beautifully warm day with soft breezes and crystal clear, turquoise water. Michelle, Malia and Sasha Obama were spotted through the window of a black sport utility vehicle as the motorcade whizzed past horse stables, a youth correctional facility and orchid farms. A small crowd of onlookers greeted the motorcade as it arrived.
— GONE GOLFING: The president hit the links again with friends Greg Orme, Bobby Titcomb and Mike Ramos, the White House said. This time, they played at the Royal Hawaiian Golf Club in Kailua, a lush course with views of the Koolau Mountains. The club is currently under renovation and only has nine holes open, according to its website.
With the sunny, lounging, golfing days, Obama definitely will leave his mind in Hawaii, while only his body returns to DC. NO WORK, NO THINKING will happen because he will be daydreaming.

MONTREAL, Canada, July 27. THE showdown that was expected has come to fruition. In the championship final of the women's 200 butterfly, it'll be Poland's Otylia Jedrzejczak vs. Australia's Jessicah Schipper. Oh, there will be other competitors in the final, but gold and silver should come down to the aforementioned ladies.
The world-record holder and Olympic champion, Jedrzejczak posted the fastest qualifying time for the championship heat, as she won her semifinal race in 2:08.30. Meanwhile, Schipper prevailed in her semifinal with a swim of 2:08.38. Earlier this week, Schipper sped to gold in the 100 butterfly. Obviously, she can handle the distance event, too.
The Japanese duo of Yurie Yano and Yuko Nakanishi took the third and fourth positions for the final, thanks to respective times of 2:08.63 and 2:08.90. Italy's Caterina Giacchetti followed in fifth (2:09.40) and the United States' Mary DeScenza was sixth with a mark of 2:09.73. The final will also include Australia's Felicity Galvez (2:10.08) and Germany's Annika Mehlhorn (2:10.28). American Emily Mason was 11th in 2:11.13 and missed the final.

text: Hundreds back Wee Oscar big blood drive 21 Jan 2014 Hundreds of people have turned out to give blood at Belfast City Hall, thanks to a campaign backed by the family of brave little cancer fighter Oscar Knox. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Wee Oscar, as the five-year-old is now affectionately known by his legions of Twitter followers, has been battling an aggressive form of cancer called neuroblastoma since he was just three.In just over a year, the little lad has had 30 blood transfusions and almost 140 platelet transfusions.While his family say he simply would not be here without them, they are all too aware of the shortfall in meeting demands for blood.While blood transfusions can be required for mums in childbirth, newborns, people undergoing surgery and those like Oscar battling cancer, just 6% of people in Northern Ireland actually donate.But on Tuesday, the Great Hall was packed out with people keen to make a difference.Belfast's Sinn Féin Lord Mayor Máirtín Ó Muilleoir and DUP Deputy Lord Mayor Christopher Stalford led by example in joining those who were giving blood for the very first time."The outpouring of support is amazing," Mr Ó Muilleoir told UTV."All day, people have been turning up to give blood and to back Wee Oscar."Blood donated. Painless and a good cause.— Christopher Stalford (@CDMStalfordDUP) January 21, 2014Oscar's parents, Leona and Stephen Knox, were delighted with the turn-out at the City Hall blood drive, having addressed the council back in November when the plans were first proposed."We hoped for this response, but to actually see all those people ... It's just incredible," Leona said.Unfortunately, the wee man himself was unable to be there as he recovered from a chemotherapy session at the weekend - but his dad is sure he will be equally delighted."We'll show him it on the news and tell him that was all for him," Stephen said."The main goal from today was to try and get as many new donors signed up as possible, who will then hopefully become lifetime donors."Motorcycle racer Michael Rutter was among the familiar faces keen to get involved, having heard about Wee Oscar through a friend."Hopefully it helps," he told UTV, already hooked up to give his own blood donation."And not just Wee Oscar, but lots of other people as well. I've got two children of my own and it just brings it home."Belfast Giants captain Adam Keefe was also on hand to help spread the message, with Wee Oscar having become a popular visitor to the Odyssey to visit the team."I can honestly say I'm a better person for having met Wee Oscar - he's an inspiration to everyone," he said, recalling how the little boy had brightened the team's day during a visit to the Odyssey."I think a lot of people don't understand how easy it is, or what the process is, or if you're even able to give blood."It's really important to just get down - if not here, then to a clinic - and find out if you can give."People like those who have turned out today have saved Oscar's life. Parents like us rely on strangers to save our children's lives.Leona & Stephen KnoxThe Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service is hoping that the boost to donor numbers will not be a one-off.They know people may have experienced queues during Tuesday's session, given the exceptional circumstances and are keen to promote the many other opportunities there are to give blood.But, according to NIBTS spokesman Paul McIlkearney, one thing is certain: "Oscar has encouraged people to give blood - Oscar has actually saved a lot of lives himself."Generally, it takes just 10 minutes to collect the amount of blood given in a session - which is just under a pint - but donors should allow up to 45mins for the whole visit.While certain medical requirements must be met, you can give blood if you are over the age of 17, and under the age of 66 if you are a first-time donor.Within days of giving blood, you could help to save a life.Information on the requirements can be found on the NI Blood Transfusion Service website, where details of other sessions available around Northern Ireland can also be found.Blown away by all the ppl today in Belfast supporting the blood drive 4 @Wee_Oscar If you can give blood pls help pic.twitter.com/WvQCLmW5dv— Michael Rutter (@michaelrutter_) January 21, 2014 © UTV Share Share Share

The tastiest soup I have ever had. More people need to try this recipe!! I used less organic garlic cloves because I know the tend to be stronger, I used avocado oil as I understand it's healthier to heat than olive oil, organic potato (I think a mix of red and yellow), organic carrots peeled of differnt colours, for the onions I used 1 small organic purple onion and organic leeks as that is what I had on hand, organic celeriac from our local weekly organic basket, organic parsnip, grey sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, in place of the heavy cream I mixed some lebneh (a Middle Eastern cream cheese, like very thick yogurt) with water. I didn't use any thyme actually. It was even better the next day! I sure will make this again insha Allah (God willing).
Great recipe Sharon! I don't like blending soups much so served in the original chunky style and it tasted fabulous. I ate along with some Garlic Rosemary Bread (Easy Garlic Rosemary Bread for the Bread Machine) for an extra garlic fix.
Garlic lovers, this is a soup you'll LOVE! It is certainly my sort of soup! The only change I made to this fabulous recipe was to add half wine and half water in step two. And I used baby carrots (what I always buy) and low-fat cream. One taste and I was just so delighted that this recipe had produced a good quantity of soup but, that said, next time I'll be doubling the recipe. An exceptionally soup-er soup-erb soup. Thanks Sharon so much for posting this wonderful, wonderful recipe.

Asylum-Seeker Issue to Dominate Australian PM's Indonesian Visit
SYDNEY--Tony Abbott's visit to Indonesia on Monday represents a first big test for the new prime minister of Australia who has put border security at the heart of his foreign policy.
Mr. Abbott will seek Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's help to fulfill an election pledge to stop a tide of refugees--many of whom use Indonesia as a staging point to reach Australia by sea.
But the buildup to Mr. Abbott's visit, which runs through Tuesday, has highlighted the human and political risks tied to the asylum issue.
More than 20 refugees died on Friday when their boat sank off Indonesia's island of Java after being hit by a wave while attempting to reach Australia's Christmas Island. Dozens more were rescued. The boat was carrying refugees from Lebanon, Jordan and Yemen, Indonesian officials said.
WSJ Investigation
This 3-part series about a boat journey by a young couple from Myanmar offers a close-up look at a major issue facing the Asia-Pacific region today: the swelling tide of ships carrying refugees toward Australia.
Mr. Abbott's new conservative government faces criticism from Jakarta over its plan to intercept and force back Indonesian boats carrying asylum seekers and pay bounties for information that disrupts people smuggling.
Indonesia has said it will oppose this and warned unilateral measures taken by Australia potentially hurt relations.
"The last thing that anyone should want is to have Australia's relationship with Indonesia defined by this boats issue which I am sure will be but a passing irritant," Mr. Abbott said in an interview on Australian radio on Friday
Indonesia ranks well down the list of Australia's trade partners with two-way trade last year worth 14.6 billion Australian dollars (US$13.6 billion).
Australia and Indonesia don't yet have a free-trade agreement. Also, Indonesia threatened to take Australia to the international trade umpire in 2011 after Canberra suspended live cattle sales worth more than A$300 million annually after claims animals were being mistreated in Indonesian slaughterhouses.
Mr. Abbott planned to use his visit to Jakarta to deepen trade ties with a 20-strong delegation of Australian business leaders and senior members of his cabinet also making the trip. Australian spending in Indonesia was valued at A$6.8 billion last year with Indonesia's resources like coal and gold attracting investors.
Still, political experts think the asylum issue will dominate talks. Indonesia's leadership is waiting to see if Mr. Abbott's election campaign promise to stop the boats using the Australian navy translates into a formal policy, Australian National University Indonesian politics expert Peter McCawley said.
"The proposed actions on the high seas and on the Indonesian border are of doubtful legality," Mr. McCawley said. "The risk for Mr. Abbott is it won't work and within weeks the issue will become more and more difficult."
Australia's resource-rich economy largely sidestepped the economic turmoil in Europe and elsewhere following the global financial crisis--boosting its attractiveness to refugees seeking a haven from political unrest in Asia and the Middle East.
More than 250 boats carrying in excess of 18,500 refugees have sought to reach Australia so far this year--more than in all of 2012 which was itself a record. A decade ago about 50 people only sought asylum this way.
In addition to intercepting boats in transit, Mr. Abbott intends to continue a policy introduced by the former Labor administration of Kevin Rudd to detain and potentially resettle refugees in Pacific nations like Papua New Guinea and Nauru.
"The incoming government won't do foolish things," Mr. Abbott said. "We will do strong and sensible things which build on the good relationship that we already have with Indonesia."

As we shift towards a world where 'everything desktop' is expected on the tablet, we're looking at different ways of approaching design for the mobile context. Anyone who has designed in this realm before knows that mobile comes with a completely different set of expectations, motivations, and affordances. Personally, I don't have a lot of experience designing for anything other than print or web, so when I got my first iPad project I was suddenly faced with a very high learning curve.

The water-cooler experience
Velda Bartek 110000CW7M email@example.com 1,463 Visits
As I was reading a recent article on recreating the water-cooler experience in an online world, I took a few moments to reflect on my water-cooler experience at IBM.
In the early years of my IBM career, conversations with my colleagues took place as we walked to the coffee machines or the cafeteria. We would read and comment on the news posted on bulletin boards or articles in the printed internal magazines. We also used the mainframe chat tool, TELL, to share informal updates and discuss projects and work items throughout the day.
Most of my career has been devoted to working on and leading geographically dispersed teams where our online water-cooler experience has relied on tools such as chat. As we moved from green screens to PCs, the chatting continued and broadened. The CMS TELL command gave way to IBM Sametime on the desktop. Sametime enables us to get closer to the water-cooler experience with two or more of us informally coming together. Sametime chat is way better than chat at the coffee machine (which is pretty hard to do when I'm conversing with someone in Ireland). In Sametime, I can send a file, share a screen capture, paste a URL which becomes a hotlink, or just catch up on what remote teammates are doing.
At IBM, we've become prolific chatters. During web conferences, we are actively sharing great ideas and making connections with others for follow-on conversations in the web conference chat. With all of this chatting, I think our fingers are faster than our mouths and there are definitely no side-conversations that others miss out on.
Another addition to our incidental discussions over the last few years is the internal deployment of IBM Connections. With it's Profiles support, we have microblogging capability. We post information on what we are working on, ask questions, and find experts. The reach is so much greater than what we realized with the coffee gang.
The water-cooler effect of incidental discussions and making informal links between teams and departments is alive and thriving here at IBM enabling us to create ideas and sustain our success as we go into the next 100 years.

There's Something New for IBM Web Experience
DeAnna Steiner 110000KQ1F firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  newbies wcm web-experience tutorials getting-started portal 2,348 Visits
Over the past year, I've worked with an incredible team to develop a new online training site for WebSphere Portal and IBM Web Content Manager called Getting Started with Your Web Experience. I'm excited to announce that this month the site is live and we have published our first three tutorials.
Just for newbies
Designed for new administrators and site developers, the tutorials introduce key concepts using prescriptive instructions. You can browse all the tutorials or you can filter the tutorials by role to see only the tutorials that are appropriate for you.
Progress from simple to more complex
Start with Learn the Basics tutorials to get hands on experience and then progress to Beyond the Basics. To keep focus on learning the foundational elements, the Learn the Basics tutorials have narrowly defined scenarios. They guide you through simple tasks. Beyond the Basics tutorials step you through more complex decisions to get you ready for production deployments.
Pace yourself
Taking advantage of HTML5 features, the application remembers your location in the tutorial. If you have to reboot or step away before you finish, when you return, it will resume where you left. So you can close your browser and come back later. Clearing your browser cache does not clear the session information. Only clearing your browsers local storage will reset the site.
Little extras
As you go through the tutorials, take advantage of some
Try it out
Visit Getting Started with Your Web Experience to start learning more about WebSphere Portal and IBM Web Content Manager Version 8.0. Today you can use the tutorials to learn how to install WebSphere Portal, configure it to work with a DB2 database, and how to use the site toolbar. The team is working on more tutorials and that will be published soon.
We're already thinking about expanding the site to include tutorials for other Web Experience Suite products. So don't hesitate to tell use what you think about the site, the content in the site, what's missing, etc.
HTML5 -- Getting Your Web Site Set Up for the Future
Chris Samoiloff 1100006TCS firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  html5 1,737 Visits
At IBM, I work on a common front-end (html/css) code base for our Lotus Applications. As part of that work, I keep an eye on future trends. One of those trends is HTML5. Back when we began implementing it in our code, it was even newer than it is now. But it looks like it is here to stay, and there is a way to use it now without much risk, setting your code up to move into the future when even more HTML5 goodies are made available and accessible by the browser. Here is how we did it and the pieces we use.
Put the HTML5 doctype on your page
<!DOCTYPE html>
And this is all that's needed for the html element:

It's really that simple. Is that not cool? That's one doctype I can remember! It's the smallest doctype that all browsers recognize (or at least back to Internet Explorer 6). It is a strict doctype. But you can use either HTML or xHTML syntax, HTML5 views both as valid.
There is one funky thing I discovered about strict mode (before that I coded in xHTML transitional). In strict mode, an image, considered inline, includes 4 pixels of spacing at the bottom for the "descender."
Sometimes this improves alignment. Sometimes it doesn't. Some workarounds:
Use HTML5 elements, where they make sense, to structure your page
Style using classes
We assigned classes to our html5 elements rather than styling them directly

For us, this gives teams picking up our code the option to either convert over to the newer HTML5, or leave things as divs for now until they have more cycles. Maybe you don't need to do that for your project. But I kind-of liked doing things that way and it especially worked nicely as I was learning all the new elements and the best places to use them.

Use IE conditional comments
Conditional comments are how you define the elements to Internet Explorer.
This will get IE to recognize these elements and for you to be able to style them directly, if you choose to mingle that in with using classes.

Also remember, sometimes the law does not support what we want it to support, but that is not the fault of the person answering the question, so please be courteous.
So does that mean they can do so only with reason? Also, there is a paper that explains the services I pay for in probation. There is no amount next to drug testing fee, as well as "No Test" next to PBJ. Ive been told a P.O cannot test you unless the court has ordered it.
I do very much appreciate the answer and fully plan on giving a high rating. However, I do not see the reasoning they would provide an area to check whether i need to submit to random urinalysis testing if they would already do so in the first place. The areas that have the boxes to check for drug testing are under "special conditions" section of the probation order. I am looking for any other in-depth point of view into the Maryland probation system. I believe there may be more to it, as I have also read that Probation officers have noted to others that they must be ordered by the court to give testing.
Does that make them any less likely in your opinion? Especially if it says no test on the docket? Even if a maryland probation officer says something else? Thank you for your time.
But why amend it and issue and order for testing if it supposedly means nothing and can test me anyway? And they have no reason to test me since it is just for a DWI and they put me in the drunk driver monitoring program. I dont see them rubbing it in my face by having the option to check the box or not on top of them telling me to abstain from substances.

Jan. 10, 2013
SAN MARCOS, Texas - Louisiana Tech had 11 different players score, led by guard Cordarius Johnson with 17, as the Bulldogs took down Texas State 84-67 on Thursday night at Strahan Coliseum.
The victory marked LA Tech's fifth straight and improved their overall record to 13-3 and a perfect 4-0 in WAC play. The loss is the eighth straight for the Bobcats as they fell to 4-13 on the season and 0-5 in the WAC.
Both teams started off cold from the field, shooting a combined 2-for-13 with the score knotted up 2-2 four minutes into the contest.
The Bulldogs then went on a quick 10-0 run sparked by guard Brandon Gibson's lay-in off one of the team's 19 offensive rebounds of the game.
Head coach Michael White went to his deep bench early and often and the Bulldogs continued to attack the glass throughout the entire game, outrebounding the Bobcats 54-32 and putting in 23 second chance points.
LA Tech went into halftime with the starters scoring 20 points and the bench scoring 18 to take a 38-21 lead into the break.
"I thought we really attacked the glass," said White. "We played with some energy, some effort and some physicality. We are attacking the glass and that's our job. We should have three flying in their on every possession.
"I was really pleased at halftime with our defense. We had given up 21 points and we had only fouled twice and some of those points they had four or five tough shots that they made."
In the second half, Texas State opened with a 16-5 run in the first four minutes to pull to within seven, but Johnson got hot from three-point range tying his career-high with five threes.
"[Cordarius] got some really good looks," said White. "Credit our bigs for running and sucking in the defense to give him a bunch of space. And credit to [Kenneth] Smith who had six assists tonight. He really got guys some good looks. I was happy for Cordarius to get his confidence going because we need that in the future."
Two made free throws from Johnson with 6:44 to go pushed their largest lead of the game to 75-52 as the Bulldogs cruised to the win.
Guard Raheem Appleby scored 12 points and guard Jaron Johnson registered a career-high 10 points as LA Tech shot 43 percent from the field for the game. Five other Bulldogs chipped in at least six points in the all-around offensive effort as the bench wound up outscoring the Bobcat bench 35-6.
Forward Joel Wright led the Bobcats with a game-high 24 points and seven rebounds.
The Bulldogs will have a quick turnaround as they travel to take on the UTSA Roadrunners on Saturday, Jan. 12 at 6 p.m.

First, a few words from our sponsor:
Hello, my name is the Grim Reaper. You may recognize me from my various appearances over the decades, most recently at your local funeral home. Studies show that 10 out of 10 Americans will be affected by Cessation of Life Syndrome, or CLS, at some point in their lives (usually at the end). Yet most families won't talk about it.
You or a loved one may be at risk for complications from CLS if:
- You think it's "morbid" to plan ahead
- You make nervous jokes about "putting me in box and throwing me out on the curb" and end the conversation without making actual plans
- You find yourself talking about CLS in the subjunctive mood: "Just in case anything should ever happen to me."
As a founding member of Funeral Consumers Alliance, I know how helpful the organization can be. That's why I worked with them to develop Before I Go: You Should Know. This funeral planning kit has space to record all your important information so that those you love will know what to do when CLS becomes a reality for your family.
- There is no need to ask your undertaker; funeral planning is right for you.
- Kit may be filled out on an empty stomach or after eating.
- Potency drops when kit is left in a file drawer. For maximum efficacy kit must be shared and talked about with friends and family today.
- Side effects may include organization, relief of worry, and a sense of smug superiority when thinking about that one cousin who never plans anything and makes every life event a catastrophe. Also she never returned that casserole dish.
Don't delay, order today. Because I'M GOING TO GET YOU ALL MWAHAHAHA planning ahead is a gift of love.
Bonus tips—Having a hard time starting that conversation? There are complementary therapies that can help make Before I Go more effective.
- National Healthcare Decisions Day is April 16. Mark your calendar and make a date with the people who matter most to you to discuss your end-of-life wishes and to fill out advance medical directives.
- Caitlin Doughty's latest video "Talking to your parents about death" solves all your existential family crises with cute plush toys.
Save the Date!
Our biennial conference will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, in June, 2016. We'll have a firm date shortly, so be sure to check back at funerals.org/conference.
Should your FCA buy liability insurance? Probably not.
-Josh Slocum, executive director
Lots of FCA-affiliated organizations have questions about liability insurance. Do we need it? What if we get sued? Shouldn't every nonprofit have insurance?
The short answer to the last one is, "no," but the reasons aren't always straightforward. Let's talk about:
- What liability and risk actually are and how to assess them
- The different types of insurance
- Weighing the cost of insurance against the actual risk

text: GPs reject charges for patients plan 22 May 2014 GPs have voted to reject a plan to introduce charges for patient consultations. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The controversial debate took place at the Local Medical Committee's annual general conference in York, England on Thursday afternoon.On average in NI, GPs see each patient six times a year which amounts to 20 prescriptions per patient a year.GP consultations have doubled since 1995, and they say pressure on them is at an all time high.The British Medical Association (BMA) believes introducing charges is not the solution to the financial crisis facing the NHS.The workload at GP surgeries may be unsustainable - but the BMA thinks that making patients pay is not the answer.Six out of ten GPs recently told a BMA survey they were considering retiring from general practice.Dr Mark PorterOn Thursday, GPs voted on whether patient fees would ease the financial woes of the NHS and the result was a rejection of plans to introduce charges.Dr Mark Porter, Chair BMA UK Council, said: "Many GPs are frustrated and concerned about the future of general practice given that many GP practices are struggling from a combination of rising patient demand, falling funding and more work being moved from hospitals into the community."In this climate, it is understandable that the Local Medical Committee (LMC) Conference wanted to debate the need for extra funding for overstretched GP services."Despite these unprecedented funding pressures GPs have today sent a resounding message that charging patients is not the solution to the financial crisis facing the NHS," he added."The BMA is committed to a health service that is free at the point of need and accessible to all."But we should be under no illusion - the funding shortfall in general practice is simply not sustainable. Without investment in more GPs and practice staff and a commitment from politicians to making premises fit for purpose the future of general practice and the quality of patient care will be under threat." © UTV Share Share Share

Some of you may remember I contributed some wedding favor ideas to the June issue of BRIDES magazine. Well, you can spot me again in the October issue. In this blog post you'll find the how-tos for making the painted cookies in paper cones that appear in the issue. Use any decorative paper you like, and just match the cookies to the paper. Or, instead of cookies, save some hours and use any small candies or treats.
The decorative paper shown is from Paper Source. Click HERE to go to this pattern, the Yuzen Red and White Blossoms, but you can't help but linger on this site with all the paper choices.
you'll need:*
cone template
painted cookies
*Find decorative paper, cellophane bags and ribbon at the craft store. Choose bags roughly in the 4 by 9-inch size. Click on "cone template" above to go to the template.
step one: Print the templateon plain, letter-size paper and cut out the template.
step two: Trace the template with a pencil on the underside of decorative paper and cut out. If making multiple cones, try and trace templates as close together as possible to minimize waste.
step three: For each cone, fold at the flap. Place a piece of double-sided tape along the entire length of the flap (on the decorative side). Roll the cone and seal at the flap.
step four: Place a couple cookies in a cello bag, and fit the cello bag as far into the cone as you can. If necessary, use a small piece of double-sided tape to secure the cello bag to the cone. Fill the rest of the bag with cookies and tie closed with ribbon.
you'll need:*
cookie dough
frosting or icing
*The frosting is used only to adhere the fondant to the cookie. You may use anything you like, even store-bought, or just brush the cookie with light corn syrup instead of using frosting. Find pre-made fondant in the craft store or online or make your own. Also find the cookie or fondant cutter at the craft store, probably as part of a set of circles. Paint brushes will be in the Fine Arts section of the craft store. Use a plastic egg carton, plastic plate or sheet of wax paper for the palette. For food coloring, I suggest Americolor Soft Gel Pastes (Sky Blue, Electric Pink, Red Red, Bright White and Chocolate Brown used here). For more tips on finding supplies, click HERE.
step one: Prepare your cookie dough, chill, roll out, cut out circles and bake according to the recipe. Let cool completely.
step two: Tint fondant by kneading a drop or two of food coloring into a handful of prepared fondant. Or, if you prefer, leave the fondant white. If the fondant gets sticky from overhandling, let sit uncovered at room temperature for about 15 minutes until easily pliable. Use confectioner's sugar on your surface if needed to prevent sticking.
step three: Roll out fondant about 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Cut out circles with the same cutter you used to cut out the cookies. Adhere the fondant circles to the cookies with a dab of frosting, icing or brushed corn syrup. Let stiffen a couple hours, uncovered at room temperature, and then paint.
step four: Paint on your cookies: Pour a few drops of food coloring on your palette. Add a drop or two of water and mix if the food coloring is thick. For pastel colors, add a drop or two of white, mixing well. Play around with more drops of color or white to achieve desired colors, always starting with one drop at a time.
Feel free to share (nicely)! While my blog's photographs and text are protected by copyright, I do allow (and encourage) you to share ONE photograph with credit to "the decorated cookie" and link to this blog post. PLEASE don't reprint any part of the blog post and PLEASE don't post a photo without credit. Thank you!

Feb. 15, 2014
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The University of Iowa track and field team posted three top ten all-time marks at the Tyson Invitational on Saturday. The meet was held at the Randal Tyson Track Center on the campus of the University of Arkansas. No team scores were kept.
Senior Zinnia Miller and sophomore Klyvens Delaunay each posted personal-best marks in the triple jump. Miller grabbed a third-place finish with a leap of 41-2 ½ (12.56m). That mark ranks third all-time at Iowa. Delaunay's leap of 52-1 ¼ (15.88m) earned him a fourth-place finish. His mark ties for second all-time at Iowa.
"We had some outstanding performances in both meets (Iowa State and Arkansas) this weekend," said director of track and field Wieczorek. "Overall, we put together some of the pieces to becoming a better track and field team."
Both of Iowa's 1,600-meter teams posted 10th- place finishes. The women's team of freshman Elexis Guster, sophomore MonTayla Holder, and freshmen Manhnee Watts and Alexis Hernandez clocked a season-best time of 3:38.62. That time ranks third all-time at Iowa. The men's team of junior Kaleb VanCleave, sophomore Will Teubel, freshman Jared Ganschow, and senior Ethan Holmes crossed the line in 3:13.46.
Sophomore Lake Kwaza clocked a personal-best time of 24.16 to finish 21st in the women's 200 meters. Her time ranks 10th all-time at Iowa. Guster also posted a personal-best in the event. Her time of 24.32 earned her a 26th-place finish. Freshman Brittany Brown (24.36) also competed in the event.
James Harrington ran to a 17th-place finish in the men's 200 meters. The sophomore recorded a time of 21.31. Junior Keith Brown (36th; 21.85), Ganschow (41st; 21.98), and freshman O'Shea Wilson (48th; 22.27) also competed in the event.
"We had quite a few seasonal bests, lifetime bests and all-time top ten performances at both meets today," said head coach Layne Anderson. "This gives us some great momentum with two weeks remaining to the Big Ten Indoor Championships."
The Hawkeyes host the Iowa Invitational on Feb. 21.

"Register to vote," reads the advertisement, which looks more like an ad for a hip new Nokia phone than a public service message. "Text 'IVOTE' to 80837."
The campaign, jointly produced by a new nonprofit called Mobile Voter and the city's Chinese-American Voter Education Committee, is one of the first in the United States to take the surge of political activity that has emerged around e-mail and the Web and move it wholly to the cell phones that are appearing in more and more pockets.
What's new:
A San Francisco voter-registration campaign is one of the first efforts in the United States to take the surge of political activity that has emerged around e-mail and the Web and move it wholly to cell phones.
Bottom line:
None of these high-tech methods of political activism will replace good ol' fashioned doorbell ringing and mass media ads, but backers say these tools are soon likely to complement traditional means of reaching out to voters.
A handful of grassroots campaigns have already used cell-phone text messages to help organize protests and other events, such as actions staged during the national party conventions in 2004. But Washington-based politicos are watching this early San Francisco experiment for lessons that might be applied more directly to their future campaigns.
"The thing that's interesting about this, particularly to political types in D.C., is that this could actually affect the bottom line of an election, which is voter turnout," said Julie Barko Germany, deputy director of George Washington University's Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet.
The San Francisco project is the work of the leading edge--at least in America--of a new generation of activists hoping to turn the immediacy and near-ubiquity of cell phones into a powerful tool of political organization and mobilization.
Activists and technologists have long forecast that the Internet would become a campaigning tool. Those predictions matured only in the 2004 election cycle, when Democrat Howard Dean successfully used the Net to raise money and galvanize supporters.
The campaigns of John Kerry and George W. Bush each drew heavily on the Net afterward, for fundraising and to support volunteer activities.
However, mobile politics has moved faster in many countries overseas, where people more commonly send text messages and surf the Net on their phones.
Cell-phone text messages are widely given credit for tipping the scales in Spain's 2004 election, where 40 percent more messages were sent on Election Day than on an ordinary day, and young voters turned out in large numbers to help unseat the government.
In the Philippines earlier this year, activists opposed to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo took a controversial recording of the president talking to election officials and turned the recording into a ring tone. The file--which Arroyo critics said showed she tampered with the vote in 2004--topped ring-tone download charts in the country, despite threats of prosecution from the government.
A first step
The ambitions of Mobile Voter, the project of San Francisco-based Web designer Ben Rigby, are less sweeping. While cell phone use is growing exponentially in the United States, use of text messaging is considerably lower than in many other countries, partly because the feature is more expensive--usually about 10 cents per message--than in other markets.
The Mobile Voter nonprofit is aimed at helping improve voter participation, particularly among younger people who can be difficult to reach with traditional political tools. The current campaign is aimed

BOCA RATON — Rudy Giuliani guaranteed a 2013 economic boom if Mitt Romney is elected president while saying President Obama should apologize to the American people for the latest bit of sluggish economic news.
Appearing before more than 200 Romney supporters at a sweltering storefront Romney campaign headquarters this afternoon, the former New York mayor and unsuccessful 2008 White House aspirant blasted Obama's handling of the economy and the fact that he hasn't made a presidential visit to Israel.
"This morning's numbers on the growth of our economy were so horrible, so anemic, 1.5 percent, that Barack Obama should have walked outside the White House and apologized to the American people," Giuliani said.
The Commerce Department today said the economy grew at a 1.5 percent rate during the second quarter.
"I guarantee you that if we elect Mitt Romney, our economy next year will boom," said Giuliani, who hailed the former Massachusetts governor as a successful businessman.
Giuliani accused the president of "whining" about the Romney campaign's recent attacks on Obama's "you didn't build that" remarks about businesses. Obama said Republicans have taken the words out of context to make it sound like he was denigrating hard work and entrepreneurship.
"Like hell he was taken out of context," Giuliani said. He's been saying the same thing for five years…It's no different from what he said to Joe the Plumber four years ago."
During the 2008 campaign, Republicans slammed Obama for telling Ohio plumber Joe Wurzelbacher that "when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
In an appeal to South Florida's Jewish vote, Giuliani noted the Romney is scheduled to visit Israel soon and Obama has not been to the Jewish state as president.
"He had time to go to Egypt. He had time to kiss the hand and bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia……He's had time to do thousands of fundraisers and hundreds of rounds of golf and he hasn't had time to go to the state of Israel," Giuliani said. "This president is better to our enemies than he is to our friends."
Rabbi Bruce Warshal, a founding director of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County and former publisher of The Jewish Journal, scoffed at Giuliani's comments.
"George Bush the second went to Israel in the last year of an 8-year term…..It's an irrelevant fact. It's a non-issue. And for Giuliani to bring that issue up, he's underestimating the intelligence of the Jewish community," Warshal said.
Warshal appeared with two other rabbis and state Rep. Lori Berman, D-Boca Raton, at an Obama campaign event earlier today to praise the president's stance on Israel. Warshal said Obama has been a steadfast ally to the Jewish state.

What happens when I file a report?The Role of the Department of EducationThe Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Education is charged with enforcing Title IX. If you have been or you know of someone who is the victim of bullying, harassment, or discrimination in school you should file a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights. Learn more about the Department of Education.What will the Office for Civil Rights do? The Office for Civil Rights will investigate and attempt to resolve the complaint, provided it involves some form of harassment on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, national origin or disability. When the Office for Civil Rights finds that bullying, harassment, or discrimination has occurred, they work with the school to develop a voluntary agreement. Claims are often resolved by agreements requiring schools to adopt effective anti-bullying policies, staff and student trainings, address the incidents in question, and to take other steps to restore a nondiscriminatory environment.In addition to resolving complaints by students and their parents, the Office for Civil Rights takes steps to inform schools of their obligation to provide a nondiscriminatory environment. On January 19, 2001, the Office for Civil Rights issued policy guidance that explained the legal principles requiring educational institutions that receive federal funds to take steps reasonably calculated to stop bullying, harassment, or discrimination when it occurs and prevent recurrence. On January 25, 2006, the Office for Civil Rights also issued a "Dear Colleague" letter reminding recipients of the standards applicable to enforcement of compliance in cases raising sexual harassment issues.The Office for Civil Rights field offices also engage in a variety of technical assistance activities in collaboration with state and local education and law enforcement agencies to encourage educational institutions to improve their anti-bullying policies and procedures and to assist students and their parents to work with schools to enhance the schools' anti-bullying capability.In the unlikely event that a voluntary resolution is not obtained, Office for Civil Rights has the power to suspend, terminate, or refuse to grant or continue to administer federal funding to the school.Additionally, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for judicial proceedings. In other words, legal action will be taken on your behalf by the Department of Justice in a court to determine and enforce your legal rights. By filing a complaint you can help build safer schools for LGBT students and assist the government to measure anti-LGBT bullying and harassment. Only with your help can we help measure and adequately address this epidemic that cripples our nation's schools.What should I include in an Office for Civil Rights complaint?When filing a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights, consider whether the conduct at issue may be considered a form of sex discrimination under Title IX. When drafting a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights, be sure to specify how the bullying, harassment, or discrimination was based on the "failure to conform to sex stereotypes," or how boys and girls are expected to act. It is critical to note that bullying, harassment, or discrimination faced by LGBT students often will include elements of both sexual orientation, gender identity or expression *and* sex discrimination, not to mention other bases like race, color, religion, national origin or disability. Additionally, if applicable, be sure to highlight ways the harassment may have been based on the perception that a student is too masculine or too feminine, participation in non-traditional extracurricular activities based on sex stereotypes, non-traditional dress or mannerism based on sex stereotypes, along with other things that are about sex stereotypes that don't necessarily address their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. For more examples about "gender based harassment," please reference pages v, 3 and 7 of this Office for Civil Rights document. >> Return to the Claim Your Rights page now.
