What does the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal do?
The tribunal was established under the Superannuation (Resolution of Complaints) Act 1993, aiming to impartially inquire into and resolve complaints made by persons who are dissatisfied with decisions made by superannuation funds.
The complaints dealt with by the SCT include complaints about:
- A belief that a death benefit was paid or may be paid to the wrong person or people;
- A miscalculation of a benefit payment;
- A refusal to approve a claim for a disability benefit; and
- with a binding agreement or Family Court Order under family law.
Who can make a complaint?
A person who is dissatisfied with the superannuation funds Trustee's conduct or decision and who is:
- A current member or former member of a Regulated Superannuation Fund;
- A person with an interest in, or who claims an entitlement to, a death benefit;
- Someone acting on behalf of the persons above or of their estate, such as a family member, legal personal representative, administrator or executor.
Common complaints: Death Benefit
The most common subject of complaints to the SCT are made by people who have been disappointed by the decision of a superannuation fund relating to a death benefit. This type of complaint has comprised of up to 42% of the total complaints brought forward to the SCT in 2010-2011.
Josephine was previously married to Robert for 20 years, separating in 2007 with two dependent children, Tanya aged 15 and Christopher aged 14 years. In 2008, Robert marries Denise. In 2010, Robert unfortunately passes away suddenly.
The trustee of Robert's superannuation fund decides to pay the $400,000.00 superannuation death benefit to Denise.
Josephine makes an unsuccessful complaint to the superannuation fund in an attempt to have the decision to pay Denise 100% of the superannuation death benefit reviewed so that consideration and provision can be given to Tanya and Christopher.
Josephine can then decide to take her complaint to the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal.
Complaint process of the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal:
When a complaint is received, each complaint is reviewed to make sure that it is a matter the SCT can deal with. The SCT must be satisfied the complainant has attempted to resolve the issue with the superannuation provider within the required time period. Each superannuation provider has a process to review internally the decision of its Trustees.
The SCT will notify the complainant if it cannot deal with the complaint with the reasons in writing.
If the SCT is able to deal with the complaint they will acknowledge receipt of the complaint and notify all parties involved. The SCT will then request all relevant information and copies of all documents relating to the complaint. Other people may also be asked to provide relevant information, for example, in the case of a death benefit, the SCT will normally seek to join any other person who could possibly be a beneficiary or have an interest in the matter.
Powers of the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal:
Where possible, the Tribunal will try to resolve a complaint by conciliation. If conciliation is unsuccessful, a formal review of the decision/s or conduct relating to the complaint may be undertaken by a panel of Tribunal members and a determination issued.
The SCT has all the powers, obligations and discretions of the Trustee of the superannuation fund and must make a determination by either:
- Affirming the decision;
- Remitting the matter to which the decision relates to the Trustee for consideration in accordance with the Tribunal's directions;
- Varying the decision;
- Setting aside and substituting its own decision.
Once the SCT has made a determination it becomes binding on all parties involved. Nevertheless appeals against SCT determinations can be made to the Federal Court of Australia within 28 days, but such appeals are limited to questions of law.

2013 Ford Mustang V-6 Premium review: Down two cylinders, this handsome coupe has charms of its own
So what's not to like about the V-6-powered 2013 Ford Mustang? In a word, nothing.
It's as good looking as any other Mustang and better than some. It is more than just adequately powered, it handles satisfactorily, it's comfortable, it feels well put together and it's reasonably priced.
But . . .
Blame it on the Mustang mystique, a special attitude that has defined this pony-car since it first hit the road back in 1964, but to me a Mustang must have a peppy V-8 engine and an aggressive driving experience to go along with its sporty long hood and short trunk. experience.
In V-8 trim, The Mustang has always brought to mind two words emblematic of its feisty name: "rip" and "snorting."
I just can't help it, but my definition of the true Mustang still goes all the way back to my brother's 1965 Mustang: sea foam green, white upholstery, peppy V-8 engine, manual transmission.
The Mustang may have originally been a spinoff of the pedestrian Ford Falcon, but to me it shouted Affordable Sports Car, American Style. In recent years, the revived Mustang has wandered much deeper into muscle-car territory, and, as a result, much deeper into the wallets of its buyers.
But the Mustang GT, complete with that V-8 burble and rumble, remains available at a semi-reasonable price and, while a much more sophisticated and capable automobile, it still represents the essence of the original.
Sorry, but that's where I stand with Mustangs. Nevertheless, that should not deter anyone who did not inherit the boy (or girl)-racer gene from considering the V-6 Mustang as a more interesting, if not more practical, coupe alternative to the myriad bland sedans on the road.
The horse supplied for my test was the upscale Ford Mustang V-6 Premium, which combined the engine with an optional ($1,195) six-speed automatic transmission with manual shifting capability.
In truth, the combination provided a spirited ride and it surely could be considered a sensible option for anyone whose daily drive is usually made in a tangle of urban traffic.
By the numbers, the 3.7-liter V-6 engine generates 305 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. That's good enough to hit 60 mph from a stop in less than 7 seconds. Want to stop in a hurry? According to Edmunds.com, on-line source for all things automotive, the disc brakes will grind this Mustang to a halt in a short 112 feet.
In reasonable driving, the V-6 Mustang will return an EPA-rated 19 miles per gallon in the city, 31 on the open road and a combined 23 mpg. In my week of driving, I averaged a bit under 22 mpg.
Clearly, this 2013 Mustang is light years ahead of what I enjoyed way back in 1965 — a lot more power, smooth automatic shifter, more accurate steering and those strong brakes. Funny, isn't it, how a fading memory can play tricks on you.
Still, I must report that the V-6 engine had a bit of a grainy feel to it, and under heavy acceleration, the exhaust simply could not approach the delightful, throaty tune of a V-8.
I did appreciate the optional Pony Package which, in addition to some distinctive trim pieces, added a larger front stabilizer bar and a rear stabilizer bar to the suspension system.
However, keeping in mind my admitted bias toward V-8 Mustangs, I found the overall driving experience competent but mostly ordinary. No thrills and chills, just a predictable driving dynamic that will keep most motorists well within their comfort zones.
On the outside, the Deep Impact Blue paint, set off by optional 18-inch polished aluminum wheels, provided the test Mustang with a sporty, somewhat luxurious demeanor.
Inside, the charcoal black leather seats and matching trim added a comfortable, if not entirely luxurious, aura to the cabin.
Mustang faithful will quickly note the exterior changes for 2013, including standard high-intensity discharge headlights with LED accents, a Shelby-inspired grille, restyled front and rear fascias, painted rocker panels, updated taillights, even the new blue color.

text: Hi. Can anyone suggest where I might send my Kodak HIE or EIR film to be processed? I am in Louisiana, so the closer the better. Though I imagine I wil have to mail it regardless. Which further presents the question, how should I mail it? Obviously, the quicker the better to avoid heat sensitivity issues. What about xrays? Is that a concern when shipping? Any other packaging suggestions would be appreciated. But most important, where do I send it? Thanks everybody.

There was very little drama left heading into the final week of the regular season in the Mt. Hamilton Division of the Blossom Valley Athletic League, at least as far as the girls volleyball race was concerned.
In fact, there was no race left at all–Westmont's girls took care of that last week.
The Warrriors topped Sobrato 25-18, 25-12, 25-23 and Willow Glen 25-7, 25-14, 25-22 to push their league-leading record to 11-1 (18-5 overall). With just two matches left to play, and second-place Santa Teresa three notches back in the loss column, no one would be able to catch the Warriors.
Westmont clinched the crown with the sweep against Sobrato. Savannah Scott led the Warriors with 11 kills, 10 digs and four service aces. Samantha Zuniga added nine kills and Erin Hazel had eight. Zuniga, Daisy Stoddard and Keri Linder each had nine digs, Gabrielle Rivera had 15 assists and Lindsay Takacs added two aces and a block.
Earlier in the week, Scott and Ma pounded seven kills apiece in the win over Willow Glen. Rivera led with seven digs and Zuniga, Scott and Allina Ng-Parish added six each, and Rivera had 10 assists and six aces.
Later in the week, Willow Glen's Gretchen Rodenberger and Leigh's Lauryn Saunders each had 19 kills, but it was the Longhorns pulling out a 25-15, 20-25, 25-17, 25-23 victory.
Leland improved to 8-5 in the division and to 11-15 overall with two wins last week. Allison Clark had 16 kills and 19 digs in a 25-18, 25-23, 25-16 win over Live Oak, and she hammered 18 kills, had three service aces and led with 27 digs in a 25-19, 20-25,25-21,25-16 win over Sobrato.
Lauren O'Hanneson (10 kills), Outana Emdadi (2 aces, 10 digs), Sydney Thompson (7 blocks), Rebecca Hu (16 assists), Michelle Williams (14 assists) and Allison Jeong (17 digs) were other key contributors in the win over the Acorns.
O'Hanneson (15 kills), Thompson (11 kills), Van Nguyen (7 kills), Hu (2 aces, 25 assists), Williams (3 blocks, 26 assists), Jeong (25 digs) and Emdadi (14 aces) played key roles against the Bulldogs.
Pioneer and Del Mar were both hoping to finish West Valley Division strong after each suffered losses last week.
The Mustangs split, losing 25-9, 18-25, 25-21, 25-19 to Independence after opening the week with a 25-15, 25-20, 25-21 over Del Mar. The Dons came back with a 25-21, 25-11, 25-21 win over James Lick.
Pioneer, 8-4 in the division and 11-10-1 for the year, was led by Victoria Jones and Keri Richardson, who each had six kills in the win over the Dons. Janna Rezzonico and Alex Lobovskaya led the team with five service aces apiece, and Kelly Happ had 24 assists and six digs.
Del Mar, 7-5 in league play and 10-6 overall, swept Lick in three games last Friday. Sophomore Milena Vukcevich was the kill leader for the Dons in the win.
In Santa Teresa Division play last week, Prospect lost in four games to Andrew Hill, falling 25-17, 29-27, 20-25, 25-19 to slip to 2-10 in league play and to 2-14 overall. Senior outside hitter Ali Werner led the Panthers with nine kills.

Are there any SWAT team members on here?

I served eight years on my department SWAT team, stepping down last year. As a team leader the last couple of years, I was also responsible for the selection of officers to the team.
One thing you need to understand now is that typically, only the largest of cities have full time teams (cities of say 200,000 or more). The vast majority of deparments have "part time" teams. What this means, is that officers work their regular jobs such as patrol or investigator and then serve on the team as an extra assignment. You train somewhere between 8 to 16 hours a month, depending on departmental budget constraints. You are then on call 24/7 if a hostage/barricade or high risk warrant service comes up. That pager will go off at the most inopportune time. This is exciting for the officer but not particular so for the wife. Being a SWAT officer is about hard work and commitment. It's typically hot or cold in training and on operations. It's repetitive work as it takes many many long hours of practice to hone team movement and shooting skills.
If you want to be a SWAT cop, you need to focus on being a good street cop first. You'll need to garner a reputation as a dependable officer ,one who pulls his weight, never shirks a task, and will be there when things are not fun. This will show you are a team player and selfless, the most important virtue of a SWAT cop in my opinion. At the same time, practice your firearms skills and keep up with procedure so you establish yourself as a good decision maker. If you gain a poor reputation early on, it will follow you for years. Trust me, I've seen it happen.
You don't have to be a body builder but stay in shape. Right now, focus on just becoming a police officer in a jurisdiction that will later provide the opportunity you are looking for. Then, work hard with the patrol officers you are teamed up with. That is the best advice I can give you.

It is tempting to run out and purchase 4-inch heels to feel like a runway model. Wearing high heels allows a woman to appear taller and slimmer, but if she doesn't know how to walk in them, embarrassment will soon follow. Learn about high heels and how to walk in them to avoid falling.
Do You Have What It Takes?
Walking in heels requires confidence, good posture and strong legs and feet. If you are not active or do not walk often, even in flats, you will need to exercise more to build strength in your legs. Maintain awareness of your posture at all times, whether sitting, standing, bending over or walking, as this will affect your balance. Novice heel wearers should start with a heel no higher than 1 to 2 inches. Above all, avoid wearing an uncomfortable heel.
Anatomy of a Heel
Purchase a stable pair by knowing how a heel is constructed. The body holds the shoe against your heel and can cause blisters if not broken in. Either work the material with your fingers, lightly spray water on it, or wear the heels with thin socks and walk around your home. The heel breast is where the inside of the heel meets with the bottom of the shoe. This angle should curve forward towards the toes rather than going straight up, to prevent wobbling and give you better balance. Slippage often occurs when the outer sole, or bottom of the shoe, is too smooth. This will cause you to fall. Score the bottom with a key or spray hairspray on it to create traction. Finally, the toe box is where your toes sit. While square or rounded toe boxes are roomy, toes often become squished in pointed stiletto shoes. The material can be stretched out at a shoe repair shop.
How to Walk
There's no need to look down at your high heels when walking, so keep your head up and look ahead to see where you are going. As the heels push your weight forward, hold your shoulders back and maintain a straight posture. Move hips in a small figure-eight motion, not whipping them from side to side. Relax your knees and keep your legs close together though not clenched. Take short steps, with toes pointed forward. The foot will land balanced on the ball on the foot and heel instead of the normal heel-to-toe movement. Once the front foot is down, spread the toes to distribute your weight evenly.
Practice Makes Perfect
Before purchasing heels, practice walking around on the balls of your feet around the house. When shopping, test the heels by walking on both carpet and solid flooring as well as up and down stairs, if possible. The higher the heel, the more difficult this will be. Try on shoes at the end of the day, when your feet are more swollen, to ensure the right size. Once purchased, continue practicing and breaking them in to conform to your foot. Try the shoes on with your pants, skirts and dresses to check that no fabric gets caught under the heel or restricts your movement as you walk.
Pain Remedies
After a while, your feet will undoubtedly hurt. Painful feet affect your balance, increasing the potential for you to fall or injure yourself. Identify where the pain is and what is causing it. Continuous rubbing will cause chaffing, blisters and even bleeding. For straps that dig into the skin, or when the body rubs against the heel, thin bandages such as moleskin padding can be cut and affixed to the area to provide cushioning. Women with low arches can place a support in the inner soles to relieve pressure on the balls of the feet. Take the heels off once in a while to prevent long-term damage.

Fairness In Wild Bird Licensing As Keeper Wins Landmark Legal Battle
Friday 13th Nov 2015
A gamekeeper from Northumberland has today (13/11/15) won a landmark legal battle after a Judicial Review at the High Court in London quashed the decision of Natural England – the Government's conservation advisor – to refuse to issue him with a licence to control a small number of buzzards that were causing serious damage to young pheasants in his care during the summer of 2014.
The National Gamekeepers' Organisation (NGO) said the court's judgment had established that in order to be lawful, "wildlife licensing decisions must, in future, be made by Natural England (NE) fairly and on the facts, without NE exceeding its powers". The NGO, which represents keepers in England and Wales, supported the gamekeeper's court battle.
The gamekeeper, Ricky McMorn, who is self-employed, lost his livelihood earlier this year as a result of buzzard attacks on his young gamebirds. The scale of the losses over several years had eventually made his modest gameshooting enterprise financially unviable.
Mr McMorn first applied to Natural England for a buzzard control licence way back in 2011 and had done so again each year since. But NE consistently refused to grant him a licence, despite acknowledging that serious damage was being caused by buzzard attacks taking place on his game shoot. The licensing system, administered by NE, became law in 1981 for the specific purpose of solving such exceptional and genuine cases of wildlife conflict.
The case was heard over three days at the Royal Courts of Justice in London in June this year, but Mr Justice Ouseley reserved his judgment to give greater consideration to the case. Handing down judgment today, he quashed NE's refusal to grant Mr McMorn a buzzard licence on four grounds.
Mr Justice Ouseley concluded that NE had taken public opinion into account, which was unlawful when judging a wildlife licence application; that NE had failed to consider properly a licence to live-trap the buzzards rather than shooting them; that NE's decision was "Wednesbury unreasonable"; and that it had been made according to an undisclosed policy which went beyond NE's and Defra's powers in law. Defra (the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) is the part of Government for which NE runs the wildlife licensing system under contract.
In a very detailed 120-page judgment, Mr Justice Ouseley wrote, "The difference in [NE's] treatment of applications for raptor licences compared to other species is stark..." and he said that it was not lawful for Defra, "to adopt a policy that made licensing the shooting of raptors to protect gamebirds more difficult than for other birds covered by the same derogation".
The derogation he was referring to is that from the EU Birds Directive under which all wild bird licences in Europe are issued, so although the court's findings do not have the effect of granting Mr McMorn a retrospective licence, they are likely to have consequences that go well beyond this particular case. Not least among these will be Mr Justice Ouseley's conclusion that a Judicial Review of a licence refusal should be covered by Aarhus cost protection, meaning it costs less to lose and thus improving access to justice.
Ricky McMorn, the gamekeeper from Northumberland, who took the case to the High Court, said: "Though the ruling may have come too late to save my pheasants and my way of life, I'm still over the moon. I knew Natural England was wrong to refuse me a licence and today's judgment confirms that. Why shouldn't a gamekeeper have the same access to the licensing system as anyone else when exceptional conflicts with wildlife occur? Let's hope that Defra and Natural England sit up and pay attention to the court ruling and that it makes the licensing system fairer for those who experience genuine problems like mine. No-one should have to face years of unlawful blocking tactics such as I did and which have now been laid bare in Mr Justice Ouseley's judgment."
Mr McMorn added: "I'd like to thank the NGO, for its help and support in bringing the case, and also my excellent legal team, James Maurici QC and Richard Moules, of Landmark Chambers, and solicitors Matthew Howarth and Mark Jones from Gordons LLP. I should also like to thank those many, many people who so very generously contributed to the NGO Fighting Fund, which was set up last year to help cover my legal costs."
Lindsay Waddell, the Chairman of the National Gamekeepers' Organisation, said: "This is an historic day for gamekeepers. Natural England grants about 10,000 licences each year to control protected species, but it has never permitted a gamekeeper to control even one buzzard where serious damage was taking place. I sincerely hope the outcome of Mr McMorn's case has changed that and I salute his courage and perseverance in seeing this through. I trust that wildlife licensing decisions will, in future, be made by Natural England fairly and on the facts, without fear or favour, whatever the job title of the person making the application or the species being applied for. The NGO remains willing to work with Natural England and Defra to ensure that outcome."
Mr Waddell added: "This Judicial Review was never about changing the law – buzzards, although now very common, remain fully protected birds and the wildlife licensing system quite rightly has safeguards to ensure that there cannot be a 'free-for-all' against them. Rather, the case was about seeking the court's view on whether the existing licensing system, available for the control of wild birds since 1981, was being fairly administered by Natural England. The court found that it was not. It is the right result, for individual justice and for the countryside."
The NGO would like to thank all those who kindly made donations to the NGO Fighting Fund – Keeping Wildlife Licensing Fair in order to help underwrite the huge costs involved in bringing this groundbreaking case to the High Court. The fund remains open for donations from any organization or individual who appreciates the importance of what has been achieved.

Notes to Editors
The NGO represents the gamekeepers of England and Wales. It defends and promotes gamekeeping, gamekeepers and ensures high standards throughout the profession. It was founded in 1997 by a group of gamekeepers who felt that their profession was threatened by public misunderstanding and poor representation. The NGO has around 15,000 members.

Bruce Willis plans to rebuild the lodge at a central Idaho ski resort he owns after the structure burned to the ground earlier this year. Willis, the star of the "Die Hard" action series, is a part-time resident of the area.
The ski lodge at the base of the Soldier Mountain Ski Resort was destroyed in a March 30 fire. Investigators determined the fire was accidental and most likely started in the building's electrical wiring system.
The rural area about 60 miles from the resort cities of Sun Valley and Ketchum had feared for the future of the small ski area after the fire, so Willis' announcement came as welcome news. The resort employs about 50 people during ski season.
The new lodge is supposed to have a grill, lounge, kitchen and dining area, as well as restrooms, a feature the old building lacked. It also will have a ski rental shop and ski school. Cost of the new lodge is not yet known.
Local news transitions

In my undergraduate course in biology at Caltech in the late 1950s, a cell was understood simply as a variety of chemical reactions going on inside a tiny test tube.1 Now, 50 years later, scientists know that the structure inside a cell is far more complex and exhibits elegant organization suggestive of a Designer.
Among other things, the cell includes an astonishing array of molecular motors, some of which travel along thin filaments just a few molecules in diameter. The cargoes needed for the various cell processes are hauled around the cell on these microfilaments, in a manner resembling the huge transportation systems found in a modern city.
Biologists have identified multiple categories of motor-proteins in the cell. Three that have been studied extensively are myosins, kinesins, and dyneins.2 The first two contain as many as 20 different classes, and in time it is likely many more will be discovered. The different categories reflect properties such as (a) the motors' exact shapes dictated by the proteins from which they are made; (b) the types of tracks the motors travel on, whether actin or microtubule microfilaments; and (c) the direction the motors travel along these microfilaments. Stunning illustrations of these motors (and other features and processes within the cell) can be seen in the 8-minute animated video The Inner Life of a Cell, available on Studio Daily.3
Researchers take special interest in comparing these biological motors with those designed by humans. Two key characteristics for comparison are efficiency (where 100% is maximum) and size. For man-made macroscopic devices, electric motors are the most efficient, operating at as much as 64% efficiency. For internal combustion engines, the efficiency rarely gets above 30%. No naturally occurring motors exist at this size.
However, when considering microscopic devices, scientists find many naturally occurring molecular motors that are incredibly small and highly efficient. Over the last few years, the emerging field of nanotechnology, which includes the study, design, and implementation of molecular-scale motors, has mimicked nature's elegance. While researchers can't yet build proteins with specific physical shapes, they have constructed motors relying on existing biological systems for components.
Research on the efficiency of nature's tiny motors is dazzling. The rotary motors of the bacterial cilia and flagellum demonstrate an efficiency near the perfect 100%.4 As a physicist familiar with the difficulty of designing and constructing small, efficient devices, I find this phenomenon absolutely remarkable.
Personal observations notwithstanding, scientists acknowledge that the motors found in biological systems are vastly superior to anything man-made. Nature's amazing molecular motors also show the characteristics that people usually associate with exquisite design and a Designer.

Baudville Challenges Companies to do Recognition Daily at HR Florida State Conference
Leading supplier of employee reward items brings positive mojo and new daily recognition tools to the HR Florida State Conference
August 14, 2009
Orlando, FL – August 17, 2009 – Building upon its success at the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) Annual Conference and Exposition in New Orleans, Baudville, a leading supplier of award and employee recognition products, is bringing its positive mojo and message of day-to-day recognition to the HR Florida State Conference.
Well-established as a provider of innovative employee reward items, Baudville has developed a niche in daily recognition products and will be demonstrating the effectiveness of day-to-day recognition in booth #313 at the HR Florida Conference and Expo, August 17- 19, 2009, at the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel in Orlando. Attendees who visit the Baudville booth will receive an "I'm with Stupendous" tote bag from the company's new Exclamations theme line.
Who: Baudville
What: HR Florida Conference & Expo
Where: Booth #313, Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel, Orlando, FL
When: Monday, August 17, through Tuesday, August 18, 2009
Known for its leading-edge and creative employee recognition items, Baudville makes products that extend beyond traditional milestone gifts to products that help employers effectively express informal, on the spot and day-to-day recognition of employees.
"As profits have plunged and unemployment has soared, smart companies are realizing that employee recognition matters now more than ever," explained Brad Darooge, president and CEO of Baudville. "However, stressed workers aren't necessarily motivated by the notion of a milestone gift somewhere in their future. They're working hard now, and they need recognition now. That's why Baudville focuses primarily on daily recognition tools."
In the recession, many companies have scaled down or eliminated their employee recognition programs and events. However, employee motivation and retention are more important than ever before. "In contrast to extravagant parties and lavish gifts, companies practicing day-to-day recognition find it to be a much more affordable and appropriate employee recognition option," said Darooge. "We're confident the companies who continue their daily recognition efforts throughout the recession will emerge stronger than ever when the economy picks up again."
As an example, Darooge points to the new Cheers KitTM, one of 254 new day-to-day recognition products. "The Cheers Kit puts daily recognition at a manager's fingertips and brings the satisfaction of an award ceremony to every day," said Darooge.
The Cheers KitTM contains five different tools, each with space for a handwritten note. With 40 total recognition transactions easily accessible, managers no longer have an excuse not to recognize. And to triple the impact of daily recognition, the Cheers KitTM can be upgraded to a Caboodle that houses three different kits. The Caboodle is designed to serve as a recognition nerve center and can be used as a peer-to-peer system.
In carving out the day-to-day recognition niche, Baudville underwent an identity transformation. The company's new identity includes a new logo and tagline, website, blog and catalog. Attendees will be introduced to the new look of Baudville and its suite of new products in booth #313 at the HR Florida Expo.
About Baudville
Baudville, the place for daily recognition, continues to be the leading innovator in day-to-day recognition solutions. Baudville's day-to-day recognition solutions appeal to today's increasingly diverse workforce with contemporary designs and relevant messaging, motivating and engaging workplaces world-wide. Baudville has been declared one of the best companies to work for in its area and strives to create the ultimate work experience for its employees.

Liberal Talk Radio Off Air in South Florida
Via SFDB comes this blog saddened by the demise of liberal talk 940 AM. The blog, Radio or Not, is authored by Nicole Sandler, a radio veteran who had a morning show on 940 AM before being dropped last summer. Sandler makes some points which I would like to comment on:
Let me refute the competitive angle by stating that in the case of WIOD (conservative talk) and 940 AM in South Florida, both stations are owned by the same entity, Clear Channel. Both transmitters have plenty of juice, with 940 able to heard as far away as Fort Myers on the west coast. For a little background, please click here for a post back in February which covered talk radio in South Florida, and click here for the ratings for the past year. The ratings show that WIOD beat 940 by more than double, despite being owned by the same company and having the same geographical reach. This is even more noteworthy considering that English-speaking South Florida isn't exactly a bastion of conservatism. Comparing apples to apples, liberal talk in South Florida was roundly defeated.(The loss of liberal talk) hurts because, even though the Democrats control both houses of Congress and the White House, the giant corporation and conglomerates that own and operate the majority of the radio stations in the country continue to push the fallacy that liberal talk radio can't work.The fact is that it can. In cities where the signals of the "liberal" and the "conservative" stations are on par with each other, and where the stations are also on an equal footing when it comes to resources, they are quite competitive.
Sandler continues by railing on "big business" which is "best served" by Republicans:
BIG business is interested in one thing, making BIG money, not spreading their ideology, whichever that might be. How they arrive at making said BIG money depends solely on one thing, the consumer. If liberal talk was such a big success (which naturally it's not), Clear Channel and other media conglomerates would be making sure that Air America remains a healthy entity. However, those pesky ratings prove otherwise, which goes back to the consumer thing.But let's look at it another way... Most radio stations are operated by BIG business. As much as the right likes to label the media as liberal, the fact is that most media outlets are owned by BIG corporations, whose interests are best served by the Republican agenda. Deregulation, tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, tax loopholes for those same BIG businesses... you get the idea.It's no wonder that 90% of the stations that air political talk opt to promote their conservative/Republican ideology.Do they have an audience? Yes. Is there an audience for an opposing viewpoint? YES!
South Florida's ratings for conservative vs. liberal talk is the sole argument one needs to present to show why Clear Channel dumped the liberal talk format. In TV and print media, where liberals DO dominate (sorry Ms. Sandler), "BIG business" is equally concerned with one thing: ratings. TV gets a large part of their ratings via their prime time lineup, fueled by liberal Hollywood. TV news coverage leans left, especially on the networks and all cable channels except FOX. On the print side: New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Chicago Tribune.....the country's biggest newspapers all lean left, as do the vast majority of papers nationwide.
The liberal viewpoint is heard every single hour of every single day via various formats. If talk radio, the only media outlet where conservatives have established a foothold, hasn't embraced liberal talk, it's not because of "Republican BIG Business". It's because of a lack of quality talent as well as an over-saturation of left-leaning news and viewpoints in our media which don't necessarily represent a large part of America.
Sorry, Ms. Sandler. Your argument that media conglomerates are purposely holding down liberal talk radio is flawed on many levels. I think the points presented here easily dispatch this assertion.
I believe Clear Channel wants to test the South Florida sports talk waters, where until now they weren't an active participant in. They probably think they can knock off competitor WQAM and get better ratings than they did with the liberal talk format (it's interesting to note that liberal talk 940 edged out WQAM's ratings). Again, it's all about ratings.
As well-intentioned and passionate as Nicole Sandler appears to be about her business, as well as my understanding of her disappointment at the loss of her preferred radio format in South Florida, her concluding paragraph raised my eyebrows:
I do appreciate the extra effort it takes to listen to the Radio or Not Podcast. I know that the day will come, in the not-too-distant future, when listening to a podcast in your car will be as easy as pushing a button. Unfortunately, timing is not on our side in South Florida today, where at 6:00 this evening, the option of pushing a button and hearing someone who is politically in line with the people who run our country will be lost. Somehow, that seems very un-American!I think it's safe to say Ms. Sandler would embrace the Fairness Doctrine like a long, long lost friend. That, my friends, is what's truly un-American.

Like Steve, I was somewhat shocked and utterly appalled at this revelation (from the always provocative Sharp Side blog) about Dickens:
...who was better at imagining a whole cast of characters than Charles Dickens? And what happened when the Indian mutiny broke out? Did Dickens use his prodigious imaginative gifts to understand why there was resistance to the British occupation of India? He certainly dreamed of being Commander in Chief of the British army of occupation. In this role, he assured his dear friend Baroness Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts, he would "do my utmost to exterminate the [Indian] Race" and "with all convenient dispatch and merciful swiftness of execution…blot it out of mankind and raze it off the face of the Earth."

International hashish gang busted in Andalusia
The Guardia Civil and the tax authority have busted an internat-ional hashish trafficking gang based in Granada. 15 people were arrested in Granada, Málaga and Cádiz, and over 2,700 kilos of the drug seized.
The value of the drugs was over four million euros. The organisation was frenetically active, in bringing large quantities of hashish to the Granada coast using powerful boats. The drugs were then hidden in double floors of vehicles and taken to other parts of Spain, as well as France and Holland. The operation began a year ago with the coordination of the Motril court.

Municipal wireless networks are a polarizing technology. In any given Google search you can find some championing the benefits of city-wide networks, while others just as loudly decree the business model as shoddy. That doesn't seem to stop cities from wanting the networks — today Boston turned on a section of its downtown WiFi network, built and run by SkyPilot Networks and Galaxy Internet. Foster City also launched a network from MetroFi today. Tomorrow the Riverside city council will consider the muniFi bid from AT&T and MetroFi.
Meanwhile we're still wondering if the Sevin Rosen dissolved fund will affect MetroFi's city bids. Some say no, and that the fund will still support MetroFi. But there are a lot of definitions of "support." For some of MetroFi's deals, like Riverside, cities have the security of AT&T's coffers. But what about Portland? We're thinking that Portland could be the next city that MetroFi partners with AT&T, or even Earthlink. While that might start the contract bidding process all over, Portland might be risking a lot by depending on MetroFi's VC-raised funds alone.

Syracuse, NY -- Thomas Dotterer, the Christian Brothers Academy baseball coach shot during a robbery Wednesday, has been upgraded to serious condition at Upstate University Hospital, Syracuse police said.
Dotterer, 77, was taken to the hospital with a critical eye injury after being shot inside his store, Salina Liquor and Wine, located at 1428 N. Salina St., Sgt. Tom Connellan said. The two robbers stole two bottles of liquor and money from the cash register, according to court papers.
Syracuse police charged Shireff J. Williams III in connection with the robbery and shooting. Another man believed to have been involved has not been located or arrested.
Dotterer made his way across the street to the C&C Market, where police were called at 7:24 p.m., police Chief Frank Fowler said last week. Dotterer was conscious and bleeding from the right eye but was able to give police information on the robbery.
Minutes later, police said they stopped a maroon Pontiac matching the description from the crime scene. Inside, they found items from the liquor store robbery, as well as items from another robbery that took place earlier Wednesday evening.
In the earlier robbery, two women were held up at gunpoint in the 200 block of Taft Avenue. Deoz Miller-Harris. 18, was charged in that robbery, more than two miles from the liquor store, police said.
Dotterer is the longtime baseball coach at CBA, a Catholic school in DeWitt.
Court papers released last week indicated that Dotterer will lose all function in his right eye. Projectile fragments are lodged in his orbital and soft tissue, papers stated.

Final food countdown
Before everyone takes off for the long weekend, thought I'd send you off with my end-of-season Eastern Conference food rankings. In this category, Boston always wins.
1. Boston. Nothing beats it. Has everything from breakfast (SoundBites) to lunch (Pizzeria Regina) to dinner (Ten Tables) to dessert (J.P. Licks).
2. Montreal. L'Express: the best French bistro around. Highly recommend the croque monsieur and goat cheese salad. Topped off with an espresso, of course. And another at Caffe Art Java.
3. Pittsburgh. The South Side Steak & Egg at Fatheads might be the greatest sandwich ever created.
4. Washington. Pre-game meal at Li Ho Food around the corner from the rink. Beats the press meal every time.
5. Florida. Have tried at home to make Greek Islands Taverna's lemon roasted chicken. All failures. Guess I'll have to go back for more research.
6. Tampa Bay. As if the steaks at Bern's weren't good enough, the dessert room makes the restaurant even better.
7. Toronto. Dim sum at Lai Wah Heen — one of my best discoveries this season.
8. Rangers. Would be higher with more time to explore. But just being the home town of Ess-A-Bagel gives NYC good marks.
9. Philadelphia. I'll have one American witout at Tony Luke's, please.
10. Carolina. Good coffee and free wireless at Cafe Helios. Two requirements for traveling hockey hacks.
11. Ottawa. Pasta at Giovanni's and coffee at Bridgehead.
12. Atlanta. MF Sushi features some of the fresher fish around.
13. Buffalo. La Nova, Duff's, or Anchor Bar for wings? The debate rages on.
14. Islanders. Aside from Harrison's Deli, there isn't much in Uniondale.
15. New Jersey. No luck so far in Newark.
Fire up the grills and enjoy the long weekend, folks.

We received an interesting box from adidas Originals at Highsnobiety HQ today. Contained within a triangular, metal, light-up container was the H3LIUM ZXZ Runner – adidas' lightest shoe ever – alongside a pair of adidas x Sennheiser headphones, an adidas-skinned iPod Nano (with Big Sean, B.o.B. and Mick Boogie music) a flipbook and a USB key.
The sole of the shoe pays homage to the ZX8000, an adidas running shoe known for its comfort and stability. Technology from F50 soccer cleat was used to simplify the shoe's structure, making it lighter while still maintaining its structural integrity. As a result H3LIUM is lightweight, breathable and made with a simple construction that provides comfort and support.
The launch of the full collection hits stores on December 26th and will include 9 colorways altogether, but will be online starting December 15th at shopadidas.com.
See all colorways and a H3LIUM commercial after the click.

Due to a discussion in another thread, I thought it would be a good idea to share experiences and tips on how to navigate the parks with a mobility device--powered or not.
I'll start off--people will not notice you. you are invisible to them. Whether it's because you're below eye level to them or not, they will run into you while they are looking off the other way. It is up to YOU to be a defensive driver/rider, and look out for others that aren't paying attention. Remember--especially with a scooter that you can do a lot of damage to a human body if you hit or run over them!

Exorex Lotion 100ml
Exorex Lotion 100ml
£11.29 Save: £3.98 RRP: £15.27
This product is typically dispatched within 3-5 working days from date of order and is not suitable for our next day delivery service.
Brand: Exorex
Code: 2422525
Weight: 110g (includes packaging)
Exorex Lotion is a skin lotion for external use only. Exorex Lotion contains coal tar solution which relieves and prevents itching and promotes the softening of the outer layer of skin. The tar acids in coal tar have been shown to have anti-bacterial properties.
Follow the instructions about when and how to use the product. If you have any further questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Exorex Lotion is for the treatment of psoriasis of the skin and scalp.
Shake the bottle thoroughly before each use.
Adults and children over 12 years of age
• Ensure that all areas of affected skin are clean.
• Apply a thin layer of Exorex Lotion two to three times a day to affected areas.
• Massage gently and leave to dry.
Children under 12 years and the elderly: as for adults, but the lotion can be diluted by mixing with a few drops of freshly boiled and cooled water if preferred.
Previous users have found the application of a thin layer of moisturising cream to be helpful in keeping the affected areas moist after application of the lotion.
If you use more Exorex Lotion than you should it is unlikely to be harmful but may result in allergy (hypersensitivity) to coal tar.
Do not use Exorex Lotion:
• If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to coal tar or any of the other ingredients.
• If you suffer from inflammation of the hair follicles (folliculitis) or acne.
• If your skin reacts badly to sunlight (you are photosensitive).
• If you suffer from a condition called lupus erythematosus.
• If you have inflamed or broken skin (you have open wounds or your skin is infected).
• On the genital or rectal areas.
Take care when applying the lotion around the eyes and other sensitive areas of the body such as the mouth. If any lotion accidentally enters the eyes, rinse with water immediately.
Coal tar makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight (such as sunbathing) should therefore be avoided after application of the lotion. There may be a very small increase in the risk of skin cancer in patients with psoriasis who are treated with coal tar products, but this is not proven.
Exorex Lotion may cause staining of clothes or hair.
You can use Exorex Lotion whilst taking other medicines.
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using Exorex Lotion.
If any Exorex Lotion is accidentally swallowed call your doctor immediately or go to the nearest hospital accident and emergency department. Take the bottle with you so that the product may be easily identified.
Like all medicines, Exorex Lotion can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
You may experience skin irritation, increased sensitivity of the skin to sunlight, or acne-like outbreaks of the skin.If this happens consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Propyl hydroxybenzoate (E216) and methyl hydroxybenzoate (E218) may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed).
If any of the side effects gets serious, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, please tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible.
Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
Do not use after the expiry date which is stated on the pack after 'EXP' or 'Expiry Date'. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.
Do not store above 25°C.
Medicines should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste.
Return any left-over lotion to your pharmacist for disposal. These measures will help to protect the environment.
Coal tar solution at a concentration of 5% v/w, polysorbate 80, dl-alpha tocopherol, propyl hydroxybenzoate (E216), methyl hydroxybenzoate (E218), complex of esterified essential fatty acids, hydrogenated polyoxyl castor oil, ethanol, xanthan gum and water.

The Mountain View City Council voted to relocate two sections of the Berlin Wall to the front of the city's library on Franklin Street. The family of the late developer Frank Golzen donated the historical slabs.
Two pieces that were a part of a key symbol – and barrier – in Cold War history will soon have a new home in Mountain View.
The Mountain View City Council last week voted 6-1 in favor of placing two donated sections of the Berlin Wall in front of the city's library at 585 Franklin St. Councilwoman Ronit Bryant cast the lone dissenting vote because she opposed removing a bench in front of the library for the historical acquisition. The council also approved a $50,000 appropriation to cover the installation of the two graffiti-marked slabs.
The portions of the infamous wall that split Berlin for 28 years are currently located in a private parking lot in Mountain View. The family of the late Frank Golzen donated the relics to the city last year.
A native of Frankfurt, Golzen purchased the sections in 1989, shortly after the wall fell, and later put them on display at a Mountain View office complex he owned.
Although no official date has been determined, Mountain View City Manager Dan Rich told the Town Crier that he anticipates installation will "occur by August. I'm guessing it will be around July."

I am at a library and about to use a unsecured wireless network.. is there a free encryption service or software I can use? thanks

A lot of people swear by TrueCrypt for encryption. I don't use that kind of thing so can give you nothing more specific. Sorry. Are you on the Tor network by any chance?
I'm assuming though , that you want something to make your library wifi "safe"? Just take all your normal precautions,use the public setting,make sure your A/V is updated and your firewall is on. I wouldn't use a public wifi for banking (but have). Just be careful and follow s.o.p., you'll be o.k.. I use a LOT of library/McDonalds/Motel hotspots during the year and have yet to have any horror stories to tell.

There is non-encrypted signal with the data transfer process when you are using Wireless networks. Except you install some security software, there is no special service about this. but you can follow these tips to protect your message:Try not to use online banking and some other personal services

For the wifi signal to being encrypted, the router you connect to must have it enabled, it doesn't depends on you at all. You can control that when you own the wifi hotspot (in your home), but when using a third party one you must use whatever THEY decided to use. Truecrypt and similar doesn't help at all here, as it works on the storage drives and not on network connections.
For public wifi signals, typically they have no encryption at all, or WEP at most, which is as insecure as no encryption.
I would enforce more strict firewall rules and keep an eye on updating antiviruses and have tight permissions on network access to your PC. Also, it's best to not use high security websites like banks. Other than that, nothing special is needed, a few precautions and you're mostly safe.

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
We will conduct a randomized, controlled trial of routine, pre-natal care practice-site based pre- and post-natal breastfeeding promotion interventions in low-income minority women, with stratification for maternal country of origin. Our primary outcome measure is breastfeeding duration and extent, i.e. "intensity." Our secondary outcomes measures are: a) infant weight, and b) participant/ provider experiences of the intervention.
The Provider Approaches to Improved Rates of Infant Nutrition & Growth Study (PAIRINGS) trial randomizes women to a Prenatal Care Provider (PNC) + Lactation Consultant (LC) intervention, or Control group. The PNCs will use a brief, computer prompted protocol throughout pregnancy and at follow-up of maternal-infant dyads. The LC will meet women, one-on-one while pregnant, at daily hospital rounds, during well-infant care and (as needed) home visits. Post-partum interviews at 1,3 and 6 months will collect infant feeding data.
Primary Outcomes (Hypotheses): Breastfeeding
- Breastfeeding Intensity at 1,3, and 6 Months- There will be significant differences, by treatment group, in BF intensity. Intensity will be assessed via 7 day recall of the frequency of breastmilk feedings vs. other liquids and solids.
Exclusive Breastfeeding at 1,3, and 6 Months- There will be significant differences, by treatment group, in the rate of exclusive BF.
Secondary Outcomes (Hypotheses): Infant Growth
- Weight-for-Length, by Breastfeeding Intensity: There will be a significant association between BF intensity and weight-for-length z scores at 4,6,9, and 12 month well-child visits.
- Weight Gain, by Breastfeeding Intensity: There will be a significant association between BF intensity and weight gain from the 4th -12th month of age.
- Weight-for-Length, by Treatment Group: There will be a significant association between treatment group and weight-for-length z scores at 4,6,9, and 12 month well-child visits
- Weight Gain, by Treatment Group: There will be a significant association between treatment group and weight gain from the 4th - 12th month of age.

lx3 handstrap
john10001 wrote:
Can anyone suggest a good strong handstrap for the LX3? I just don't
do neckstraps.
I still have a few things to get for my LX3 the handstrap being just
one of them. I'm hoping to have more luck with that than I have of
finding the type of case I like.
I suspect you've made your choice since you started this thread a month ago. But for others I thought I'd share my thoughts. I too eschewed neck straps for mini cameras until I got my FX01. It was the first camera that I could stuff in a shirt pocket. Ultimately the supplied wrist strap went on my cell phone and a 3/8" wide black cloth neck strap with a quick disconnect clip to a string (exactly like the Gordy string wrist strap connector) that was originally bought as a lanyard for a mini flashlight ended up on the FX01. It has provided a degree of security a wrist strap simply can't while carrying it.
So the notion of a strong lightweight unobtrusive strap for my soon to be delivered LX3 was one I contemplated. The bundled cloth strap appears too wide for the compact LX3. What finally occurred to me was that I had on hand a spare brand new high quality black glove-leather strap with grommets for a pair of vintage binoculars which should make an ideal strap for the LX3! Their design is exactly like these horsehide military grade straps:
