As HSAs continue to grow in popularity, more and more employers are considering this option for their employees.

But, while employees may see the benefits to the company for moving to an HSA-qualified plan — a lower price point, the flexibility to adjust HSA contributions in future years, and the potential for better utilization and reduced claims — many business owners worry workers won't see the value in a plan where they're responsible for most of their up-front expenses. And, as we all know, perception is reality: if employees don't think they have a good benefits plan, they don't, regardless of what the employer is paying.
So how can employers ensure that their employees will appreciate their benefits even after they drop the copays from the plan? The answer, of course, is education and communication — but what should we be communicating? Sure, it's important that employees know how to access their benefits and utilize the price and quality transparency tools that are available to them, but that alone won't sell them on the plan.

To really convince employees that this is a good solution for them and their families, we need to show them how an HSA is actually better than some other health plans and tax-advantaged accounts they might already be familiar with. Here are a few >>
Better than an FSA
An FSA, which allows employees to set aside tax-free dollars to pay for current-year medical expenses, can be a great option if you know how much you're going to spend on health care this year, but it does require you to be a bit of a fortune teller. If you guess too low on your medical expenses, you forfeit some of the tax savings you could have enjoyed. If you guess too high, you actually lose some of the money you put into your account. And even if you realize that you messed up, you're not allowed to change your contribution mid-stream.
In many ways, an HSA is actually more flexible than a flexible spending account. Here are some of the distinctive features:
- HSA contributions are not subject to the irrevocable election rule, so employees are not locked in at their original contribution amount. In fact, employers must allow employees to adjust their contributions on a monthly basis at a minimum.
- HSAs do not have a use-it-or-lose-it rule; instead, it's a use-it-or-keep-it account. Unused funds roll over from year to year, so employees can stash away money during the good years and use it when they do have a big medical expense.
- HSAs are also individually owned accounts, so employees take the money with them when they leave. And, as a bonus for employers, because HSAs are individually owned, the employer is not responsible for keeping up with expenses – it's up to the employee to make sure they're using their accounts for their intended purpose and keeping copies of the receipts.

[Next: Better than a 401(k)]
Better than a 401(k)
The beauty of a 401(k) is that employees can deposit funds in their account, get an immediate tax break, and watch their money grow on a tax-deferred basis, earning investment income along the way. They don't pay taxes on the money until they actually withdraw it from the account.
An HSA is similar. Employees can deposit funds into their account and earn tax-free interest and investment income year after year. But with an HSA, as long as the funds are used for qualified medical expenses, account holders never pay taxes on the money — it's not a tax-deferred account like an IRA or a 401(k), it's actually a tax-free account.
At some point, most of us will have medical needs that we can pay for with our HSA, and even those who don't will have plenty of things to spend their HSA money on as they grow older — like long term care insurance and Medicare Part B premiums. And, once someone reaches age 65, they can actually use their account like an IRA or a 401(k). If they withdraw funds for non-qualified expenses, they'll pay taxes but no penalty, while qualified expenses are always tax-free.

[Next: Better than a raise]
Better than a raise
HSA-qualified plans tend to have a lower price point than a traditional PPO plan, giving an employer the opportunity to sink some money into their employees' HSA accounts. There are two reasons that it makes more sense for an employer to deposit the premium savings into the employees' HSAs than to pass on that savings in the form of a premium discount or a pay raise.
The first is perception. As Steve Neeleman, founder and CEO of HealthEquity, explains, "a $50 per month — or $600 per year — HSA contribution is going to show up every pay period in the employees' accounts and accumulate. All an employee has to do to appreciate the employer's 'gift' is to log on to their member site and see the monthly contributions. On the other hand, a $50 premium discount — or, in other words, $50 more cash from their employer every month — will soon be forgotten by the employees because their pay has been adjusted and it is buried in their EFT to their bank account … out of sight, out of mind."
The other reason an HSA contribution makes sense for both the employer and the employee is because $50 really means $50. Neeleman continues, "When an employer puts $50 in an employee's account, the entire amount is passed on to the employee. The employer does not pay FICA taxes, and the employee receives the $50 completely tax-free. But when an employer gives the employee $50 more income per month, both the employer and the employee have to pay 7.65 percent FICA taxes on that $50 [reduced to 5.65% for employees in 2012]. So it actually costs the employer $53.83 to give the employee $50, and the employee's fifty bucks quickly becomes $46.17. Of course, that's not all the employee has to pay — she also owes federal and state income tax. Using a cumulative figure of 20 percent (a pretty low tax rate), another $10 disappears, leaving the employee with only $36.17 extra per month, probably divided over a couple paychecks." No wonder she forgets about it so quickly.

[Next: Better than a copay plan]
Better than a copay plan
The advantage of a traditional PPO plan is that up-front expenses like doctor visits and prescriptions are predictable because they're covered by a fixed copayment. Unfortunately, this predictability is lost for someone with larger expenses that cause them to hit their deductible and "maximum out of pocket." That's because, on most traditional PPO plans, copayments do not count toward the OOP max — they continue even after the member has reached her deductible and coinsurance stop-loss amounts, so the member's total exposure is actually uncapped and unpredictable.
With an HSA-qualified plan, the member pays more up front for routine expenses like doctor visits and prescriptions, but she still gets the insurance company discount, and this amount is applied toward the plan's deductible and out of pocket maximum. Out-of-pocket max really means out of pocket max on an HSA-qualified plan — the member knows up front what her worst-case scenario is and can plan accordingly.

[Next: Better not wait...]
Better not wait …
Many experts expect HSAs to be the plan of the future, especially after the majority of the health reform provisions kick in in 2014. They will likely be the bronze-level "minimum essential benefits" plan that individuals must have in order to avoid a penalty, so enrollment should increase even more rapidly than it already is.
But that doesn't mean we should wait until 2014 to sign up; on the contrary, if we think we may have an HSA some day, then it makes a lot of sense to go ahead and get it today, while premiums are still somewhat manageable and we can afford to sink some money in our accounts. If we wait until 2014, premiums will almost certainly be higher, leaving us less disposable income to set aside for medical expenses. As with any investment, starting early is always a good idea.

Coffee Chronicles: Nolita Mart
Though I don't usually take my sophisticated coffee beverages in at places named "Mart", surprising Mott Street newcomer Nolita Mart may be a good candidate to change that.
The petite espresso bar-cum-gourmet shoppe is a bit of a Chinatown refuge: yes, it's the now-familiar-style of reclaimed wood and subway tile, but it marks a graceful oasis in the chaos that otherwise crowds Grand and Mott. Stumptown coffees are on the fully pimped bar; Hair Bender is the house espresso (still not this drinker's dream flavor profile, but a workhorse of a shot); and manual-brewed single origin coffees on the pourover station. (They use Bee House ceramic drippers, for those keeping score.)
To-stay macchiatos are either served as milky espressos or tiny cappuccinos, textured with lush Battenkill Valley Creamery milk. And you can pick up a Thomas Keller cookbook or a bag of Pirate's Booty while you wait, or simply hide out from the city in the coffee bar's beautiful seating area. Here's to the coffee revolution bringing more sophisticated, peaceful places like this to New York.

Drafting the Constitution Drafting the Constitution
Drafting the Constitution
The implementation of Resolution 435 in 1989 under the supervision of the Special Representative of the Secretary General of the United Nations and assisted by the United Nations Transitional Assistance Group led to the first ever democratic elections in Namibia. In November 1989 the Namibian people turned out in big numbers to elect representatives to the Constituent Assembly. Ten political parties registered for the November 1989 elections and 90% of the 701 483 registered voters cast their votes to elect the 72 representatives to draft a Constitution for an Independent Namibia.
The South West Africa People's Organisation, SWAPO, won 41 seats in the election, the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA) won 21 seats, the United Democratic Front (UDF) secured 4 seats, Action Christian National (ACN) 3 seats and the Federal Convention of Namibia (FCN), the Namibia National Front (NNF) and the Namibia Patriotic Front (NPF) each secured one seat in the Constituent Assembly.
Under the chairmanship of Mr. Hage G Geingob the Constituent Assembly drafted the Constitution for the Republic of Namibia in a spirit of give and take. The 72 members of the Constituent Assembly unanimously adopted the Constitution on 9 February 1990. The Constituent Assembly elected the leader of SWAPO, Dr. Sam Nujoma as the first president of independent Namibia. At independence on 21 March 1990 the Constituent Assembly became the first legislature, namely the National Assembly of Namibia.
Constitution of the Republic of Namibia Constitution of the Republic of Namibia
The Constitution of the Republic of Namibia
|The Constitution of the Republic of Namibia is the fundamental law of the country which recognises the inherent dignity, equal and inalienable human rights of all members of the Namibian society. It provides for a sovereign, secular, democratic and unitary State founded on the principle of democracy and the rule of law. Fundamental human rights and freedoms, including freedom of speech and expression are enshrined in the Constitution and it furthermore lays down the division of power between die executive, the legislature and the independent judiciary.

The Constitution Provides The Constitution Provides
The Constitution Provides
The Constitution provides for three branches of government, namely the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. The executive branch consists of the President, the Prime Minister and Ministers. The President is elected by popular vote for a term of five years and can be re-elected for a further term of five years.
The President appoints the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers from elected or nominated representatives to the National Assembly and the National Council. The bicameral legislature consists of the National Assembly and the National Council. Members of the National Assembly are elected for a term of five years. The National Assembly consists of 78 members of whom 72 are elected by popular vote and six non-voting members nominated to the National Assembly by the President
The National Council consists of 26 members, who are elected by and from the members of the 13 regional councils. They are elected for six years. The National Council reviews bills passed by the National Assembly and recommends legislation on matters of regional concern.
The judiciary is independent and subject only to the Constitution and the law. A Supreme Court, a High Court and a number of lower courts share the judicial power. Judges are appointed on the advice of the Judicial Service Commission. The Constitution also provides for the appointment of an Ombudsperson on the recommendation of the Judicial Service Commission. The Ombudsperson reports directly to the National Assembly on the exercise of his/her powers and functions.
Except for members of the Judiciary who are appointed, all members of the legislative and executive branches are elected. The Constitution provides for regular presidential and national assembly elections, regional council elections and local authority elections.
Hailed as one of the most liberal constitutions in the world, the Namibian Constitution is one of few constitutions worldwide that provides for the maintenance of ecosystems, essential ecological processes, biological diversity and the utilization of natural resources on a sustainable basis. It furthermore provides measures against the dumping or recycling of foreign nuclear and toxic waste on Namibian territory in order to ensure the future of the country for present and future generations.

CCS adapting to COVID-19 realities to support Canadians during and after the pandemic
What is metastatic cancer?
Cancer can spread from where it started to another part of the body. The original cancer is called the primary tumour. The cancer in another part of the body is called metastatic, or secondary, cancer. Metastatic cancer has the same type of cancer cells as the primary cancer. For example, when colon cancer spreads to the liver, the cancer cells in the liver are colon cancer cells. It is metastatic colon cancer, not liver cancer.
Metastatic cancer is also called:
- metastatic tumour, tumours or disease
- metastasis (one cancerous tumour)
- metastases (more than one cancerous tumour)
- advanced cancer
When metastatic cancer develops
All cancers can spread. The term metastatic cancer is usually only used to describe solid tumours that have spread to another part of the body. Some cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma, are considered widespread when they are diagnosed and so are not referred to as metastatic cancer.
A person diagnosed with cancer may never develop metastatic cancer. Whether or not a cancer spreads depends on many factors including:
- the type of cancer
- the grade of the primary cancer
- the size and location of the primary cancer
- how long the primary cancer is in the body
- if cancer treatments were used and how well they worked
Metastatic cancer may develop several years after the primary cancer is first diagnosed. Sometimes cancer has already metastasized when it is diagnosed.
How cancer spreads
When cancer cells grow and divide, they can move from where they started to other areas of the body. There are 3 ways cancer can spread.
Direct extension, or invasion, means that the primary tumour grows into tissues or structures around it. For example, prostate cancer can grow into the bladder.
Lymphatic system spread means that cancer cells break away from the primary tumour and travel to another part of the body through the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a group of tissues and organs that make and store cells that fight infection and diseases.
Bloodstream, or hematogenous, spread means that cancer cells break away from the primary tumour, enter the bloodstream and travel to a new place in the body.
The immune system usually attacks and destroys cancer cells that travel through the lymphatic system or bloodstream. But sometimes cancer cells survive and settle in another area of the body, where they form a new tumour. To survive and grow in the new location, the tumour must form its own blood supply (called angiogenesis).
Where cancer spreads
Cancer can spread anywhere in the body. Most cancers tend to spread to one place more often than others. For example, breast cancer and prostate cancer spread to the bones most often. Colorectal cancer tends to spread to the liver. Testicular cancer usually spreads to the lungs, and ovarian cancer usually spreads to the peritoneum.
Doctors may use the following terms to describe if cancer has spread or how far it has spread.
Localized means cancer is only in the area where it started and has not spread to other parts of the body.
Regional means the cancer has grown into surrounding tissues or organs, or it has spread to nearby lymph nodes.
Distant means the cancer is in a part of the body farther from where it started.
Doctors usually use the term metastatic cancer to describe cancer that has spread to distant organs or distant lymph nodes (called distant metastases). The most common sites of distant metastases are the bones, brain, liver and lungs.
How metastatic cancer is treated
Metastatic cancer is usually more difficult to treat than cancer that hasn't spread. In most cases, the goal of treatment for metastatic cancer is to prolong survival and maintain quality of life. Treatments control and slow the growth of metastases, but the metastases usually don't go away completely. Treatments are also used to manage or prevent problems caused by the metastatic cancer (called supportive therapies).
Treatments offered for metastatic cancer are based on several factors, including where the cancer started, symptoms, location and amount of metastases, treatments used for the original cancer, the goal of treatment, your overall health and your personal preferences.
Treatments that may be used for metastatic cancer include chemotherapy and other drug therapies, radiation therapy, surgery and ablation therapy. A combination of different treatments and supportive therapies is often used.
Clinical trials are research studies that test new ways to prevent, find, treat or manage cancer or other diseases. Clinical trials for metastatic cancer may be available. If you want to take part in a clinical trial, talk to your doctor or healthcare team to find out if you are eligible. Find out more about clinical trials.
A description of a tumour that includes how different the cancer cells look from normal cells (differentiation), how quickly the cancer cells are growing and dividing, and how likely they are to spread.
Grades are based on different grading systems that are used for specific cancers. Some types of cancer do not have a specific grading system.
The process of examining and classifying tumours based on how cancer cells look and behave under the microscope is called grading.
The group of tissues and organs that produce and store cells that fight infection and diseases.
The lymphatic system includes the adenoids, tonsils, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, lymph vessels and bone marrow.
Also called the lymph system.
The complex group of cells and organs that defend the body against infection, disease and foreign substances.
The membrane that lines the walls of the abdomen and pelvis (parietal peritoneum), and covers and supports most of the abdominal organs (visceral peritoneum).

Henry Hart is honored for a lifetime of work with receipt of the Carole Weinstein Prize in Poetry
Henry Hart, the Mildred and J.B. Hickman Professor of English and Humanities, was honored for a lifetime of poetic achievement and support last fall, when he was awarded the Carole Weinstein Prize in Poetry during the Virginia Book Awards ceremony at the Library of Virginia in Richmond.
The prize, first given in 2005 and awarded annually to a poet with strong ties to Central Virginia, recognizes recent contributions to the art of poetry and is awarded on the basis of a range of achievement in the field. Past recipients have included Pulitzer Prize winners Charles Wright and Claudia Emerson.
"I was very honored to be one of the recipients of the Carole Weinstein Poetry Prize," Hart said. "I know the poetry of Charles Wright, and in fact I've written numerous essays about Charles and his poetry. I also know the poetry of Claudia Emerson and of the other winners and admire it greatly. So to be included in the company of these fine poets is very flattering."
Hart has published several critical books on modern poets, including The Poetry of Geoffrey Hill in 1986, Seamus Heaney: Poet of Contrary Progressions in 1991, Robert Lowell and the Sublime in 1995, and The James Dickey Reader in 1999. His 2000 biography, James Dickey: The World as a Lie, was runner-up for a Southern Book Critics' Circle Award. He has also published three books of poetry: The Ghost Ship in 1990, The Rooster Mask in 1998 and Background Radiation in 2007.

Story highlights
- Schilling says he's "recently been diagnosed" with an unspecified cancer
- "I'll embrace this fight just like the rest of them," he says
- Schilling was on three world championship teams during his 20-year MLB career
- He now works as an ESPN analyst
Curt Schilling -- a standout pitcher who belonged to three World Series championship teams before becoming an ESPN analyst -- has cancer, he announced Wednesday.
The retired Major League Baseball player did not specify what type of cancer he had or his prognosis, only that "I've recently been diagnosed."
"I've always believed life is about embracing the gifts and rising up to meet the challenges," Schilling, 47, said in a statement. "... I've been so very blessed and I feel grateful for what God has allowed my family to have and experience, and I'll embrace this fight just like the rest of them, with resolute faith and head on."
After rising up the Boston Red Sox minor league ranks, Schilling broke into the Major Leagues with Baltimore in 1988. He went on to star with the Philadelphia Phillies before ascending another level in his career upon joining the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001.
That season, Schilling not only posted a 22-6 record and an ERA of 2.98, but he earned World Series MVP honors in leading the team to its first-ever championship.
He maintained the momentum the following season, when -- for the second straight year -- Major League players voted him as the National League's most outstanding pitcher.
Schilling went on to obtain legendary status in Boston upon returning to the Red Sox via trade before the 2004 season. The right-handed starter posted impressive numbers during the regular season, then didn't let an injury -- that left him with a famously bloody sock -- stop him from contributing to Boston's first World Series title in 86 years.
He retired in 2007, after the Red Sox again won the title, then led an ill-fated video game company based in Rhode Island.
ESPN would later hire him as a baseball analyst. The network issued a statement Wednesday saying, "His ESPN teammates wish him continued strength in his cancer fight, and we look forward to welcoming him back to our baseball coverage whenever he's ready."
This isn't the Schilling family's first brush with cancer. His wife, Shonda, went public -- even inviting cameras in to capture her fifth and final surgery -- in the early 2000s with her fight with malignant melanoma.
She afterward created the Shade Foundation of America, a group geared toward educating children about skin cancer and prevention.

Company used partnerships, process and technology to spur growth
2010 Fast 50 50 flourishing small businesses you need to know How FedStore became the fastest-growing small business in the federal market Former No. 1 keeps up winning ways Guident rides small wins to big growth Looming insourcing threat forces small biz to reposition itself First try is the charm for Ellumen 6 small-business issues too important to ignore
One of the biggest challenges for any young company is making sure that as it grows, its products and services stay top notch.
Tony Jimenez, MicroTech CEO, recognized that challenge quickly after launching the systems integrator, based in Vienna, Va.
By obtaining certifications, investing in certain growth segments and hiring great people, MicroTech reached revenue of $185.3 million in 2009. By the end of this year, the company expects its annual revenue to hit $305 million. Its compound annual growth rate over five years is 203.36 percent, good for the No. 4 spot on the 2010 Fast 50.
The 400-employee company's offerings include IT services, audiovisual telecommunications and consulting services. Through 20 contracts, the company provides 300,000 tech products and services and has won business with a variety of agencies, including the Veterans Affairs Department, Social Security Administration, Agriculture Department, Army, Air Force and Navy. The company, which is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business and a certified 8(a) small business, is a prime contractor on more than 100 federal projects, according to its website.
MicroTech recently announced three prime contracts with USDA, VA and the Marine Corps, all for projects related to unified communications and collaboration, a growing business area for the company. The contracts, which total $30 million, require the company to provide communications services to agencies through a single user interface. The company started investing in the area two years ago, in addition to expanding its virtualization and cloud computing capabilities.
MicroTech also recently announced that it won a contract worth $14.3 million through the NASA Solutions for Enterprise-wide Procurement IV contract program. The company will provide VA with a patient identification system for labeling and administration of blood products.
Jimenez also attributed the company's success to partnerships. He boasts strong relationships with Microsoft Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc.
"They've been amazingly instrumental in our success," he said. "We invest in them, and they invest in us."
Jimenez said MicroTech has been able to penetrate the government market partially because it worked hard to obtain well-respected certifications. One of the biggest is the ISO 9001:2008 and the coveted ISO 20000, an international standard for IT services management governed by the International Organization for Standardization in Switzerland.
"The ISO 20000 is something you would expect SAIC or CACI to have," he said. "For a company like ours to have that is unheard of."
Jimenez said he wants the company's government customers to know that MicroTech will be around for the long term. Another goal is to increase the company's presence in the government contracting world through brand recognition.
"We're not a household name like SAIC, but we're finding ourselves in a lot of those same spaces," he said. "We're the best company that nobody has ever heard of."

PORTLAND – It took eight hours for Jeremiah McDonald, an aspiring artist who works in a parking garage, to become an Internet sensation.
Before going into work Thursday, McDonald, 32, posted his latest video project — a conversation with his 12-year-old self — to the popular YouTube website.
The video is a mix of footage he recorded in 1992 and footage he recorded this year, to create an entertaining conversation between him and his childhood self.
"Gradually, the updates started trickling in" after the video went online, McDonald said Friday.
First, it was praise from his family and friends on his Facebook page. Then, the video got picked up on popular news sharing sites like Reddit, Boing Boing, and the grandmamma of them all — the Huffington Post.
"What followed was the most frustrating eight hours of my life, trying desperately to update (social media sites on) my phone while also having to cope with work," McDonald said.
Next thing he knew, the video had more than 1 million views. By Friday night, it had more than 2 million views. Film critic Roger Ebert and British sitcom writer Graham Linehan were among those micro-blogging about it on Twitter.
McDonald's email inbox flooded. One of the first emails he read was from NBC, which wanted to him to appear on the "Today" show. He's flying to New York City today to appear on Sunday's show.
"I'm still taking it in," said McDonald, who lived in South Paris before moving to Portland in 2003. "I'm still kind of in shock."
McDonald said Entertainment Weekly is interested in interviewing him, and he has read about himself in the Hollywood Reporter.
"Eight hours. Seriously, it happened that quickly," he said. "I don't know how that happened."
McDonald's career, as it were, started when he was 10 and his family got a VHS recorder. His father, John, a Maine author and humorist, designated his son as the family cameraman.
"He was very good at it," John McDonald said.
Jeremiah was capturing not only family memories, but footage that would put him in the yet-to-be-invented Internet spotlight more than two decades later.
He said he made several recordings of himself simply talking into the camera. At one point, he made a video of his 12-year-old self talking to his 10-year-old self.
He taped over much of his work on the finite space of VHS tapes.
But this one survived. It starts with him having a simple conversation with himself and acting goofy. Then, he asks his future self questions, inquiring about the condition of his pets (they are all dead) and commenting on how old he looks as an adult.
Twenty years after he shot it, suspecting he was sitting on a gold mine of footage, McDonald began plotting what would become his viral video, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the original recording.
McDonald recorded about 40 minutes of new footage using a Canon HV 40 digital camera. He then began editing it down and blending in the old footage.
The result is 3 minutes and 47 seconds of what amounts to something of an existential crisis, humorous but cynical, touching and irreverent.
The video starts with the 12-year-old saying he wants to talk to his future self. Then comes a collage with one photo for every year from 1992 to 2012 — included to thwart anyone who might accuse him of hiring a child actor.
At one point, the 32-year-old begins telling his younger self about the Internet.
"Life before the Internet is kind of a blur to me," the 32-year-old says. "It's going to take over your life. You're going to spend hours sitting in a room staring at a screen."
The two get into an argument of sorts. It ends with the 12-year-old making faces and noises and burping.
"Charming," the 32-year-old says. "No wonder I'm still single."
The 32-year-old asks what the child was doing before he shot the video. The 12-year-old holds up a masterful drawing.
A faraway look spreads over the 32-year-old's face.
"I used to be an animator," he says nostalgically. "Then I got lazy and became a filmmaker."
Today, McDonald is just trying to take it all in — while the emails keep piling into his inbox and his number of Twitter followers soars.
This isn't the first of his videos to go viral — it's just the first one to do it so quickly.
His video "The Jazz Dispute" had gotten more than 677,000 views as of Friday night. "YouTube is My Life" had gotten more than 1.9 million views. It landed him a three-year acting gig under director John Lambert-Wild of the Comedie de Caen in France.
"Up until now, that was the craziest thing that happened to me," McDonald said.
As for the future?
"We're kind of playing it by ear," McDonald said. "I don't know how long this can sustain. You have to do something with it, and that's what I'm trying to figure out."
This weekend, 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City might just be the place for him to do that.

Would you enjoy using special recipes, even secret recipes from your favorite restaurants? Imagine having hundreds of restaurant copy recipes at your finger tips that are easy to follow, allowing you to make your favorite restaurant food in your own kitchen. Imagine experiencing the joy and satisfaction in preparing special dishes that you could enjoy eating and sharing with those you love?
Some of my best memories in life come from eating excellent food with those I love. Wouldn't it be great to be able to create your own memories using secret recipes from your favorite restaurants?
When you are looking for a collection of restaurant copy recipes, here are some of the things you will want to consider:
- Tested and Perfected by a Professional Chef: You need to know the recipes have been prepared and fine-tuned by a professional chef. Also it would be good to know that the recipes have been field tested by thousands of satisfied users who provided helpful and positive feed-back.
- Simple, Easy to Follow: You want to be able to prepare great restaurant quality meals just like a professional chef. The recipes need to contain step by step detailed instructions allowing you to successfully create your own dishes. Would you like to learn the closely guarded secrets that are used to prepare the actual menu items from some of the most successful restaurants in America? Plus with your special touch, you want to be confident that the dishes will actually be as good or better than the restaurant version.
- You Want to Get Your Money's Worth: What you are hoping to find is a collection of hundreds of new restaurant copy recipes from dozens of America's top restaurants. Wouldn't it be great to also receive several bonus recipe collections? And what if you were able to have life-time access to the recipe archives from the publisher. But that is asking for a lot, isn't it?
- The Collection has a Proven Track-record: You would want to know that the collection of secret recipes has a large following and has been around for several years. In fact it would be great if the collection has been and continues to be one of the top collections in this category. It would add to the desirability if the creator of the collection was a renowned publisher of special cookbooks and has had several TV appearances. Wouldn't it be great to know that there are tens of thousands of happy users of these recipes who have voiced their approval with a huge amount of positive feed-back?
- Instant Down-Load: When you find what you are looking for, you want to get it ASAP. You want to have instant access to the collection of restaurant copy recipes so you can start enjoying cooking them at home.
- Your Savings: You know that you can save time and a lot of money by cooking at home. For one thing you don't have to hire a baby sitter, which is an added expense when you go out to eat. You could satisfy your and your family's cravings for your favorite restaurant food and not have to wait until the next time you have the time and money to eat out.
- The Convenience: Some of your favorite foods are at the best and busiest restaurants which means most of the time, you will have to stand in line, waiting to be seated and served. What people have discovered is that they can enjoy their favorite restaurant dishes anytime and as often as they want, cooked in their own kitchens, using restaurant copy recipes.
- Your Rewards: People have found that they can stay in the comfort of their homes and enjoy their favorite restaurant foods. There is nothing like hitting a home run while creating a great meal using new recipes. And just think of all of the praise and appreciation that they receive from their family and friends for caring enough to fix that very special meal.
Cooking at home is looking better all the time, especially when you can prepare your families favorite restaurant food in your own kitchen, using a collection of restaurant copy recipes. Now what could be better than that?

I sure hope that not all the parts of the PS2's early history repeat themselves. (If you were paying attention during that time, you know what I'm talking about *cough* Kutaragi's wild promises *cough*.) Still, one can't help but draw parallels, especially now that IBM has announced plans to "open" up the Cell architecture in order to encourage a software ecosystem to grow up around it.
San Jose, Calif. The three developers of the Cell processor are preparing to release full chip specifications and software libraries in an effort to rally the open-source community around the device that powers the Sony Playstation 3. With the outlook for the multicore chip's use beyond Sony's internal systems cloudy at best, the partners are hoping to spark its uptake in applications ranging from HDTVs to supercomputers.
The IBM Corp. fellow who led the design team said his company currently has no plans to make Cell-based chips for its own systems or for the merchant market. Instead, IBM has set up a team in its engineering services division to help others custom-design versions of Cell that could be made in IBM's fabs...
The three companies are now doing a final review of a Cell architecture specification that could be released to software developers by the end of May. It will include details of more than 200 new instructions used in the specialized cores inside Cell. The group also plans to release open-source software libraries for Cell as early as this fall.
After reading the paragraphs above, cast your memory back to this article I wrote in response to Sony's decision to "open" the PS2. The situation was quite similar: a radical new architecture that's going to be challenging to program for; a desire to increase returns on an enormous investment by licensing the architecture for use in all sorts of devices; a need to build a developer support network so that one consortium doesn't have to shoulder the responsibility of helping the entire game development community make progress on squeezing the most out of exotic hardware; etc.
I wish IBM the best of luck on getting the Cell to spread its wings and take off in the marketplace. I hope they fare much better than Sony did with the Emotion Engine and Graphics Synth.
Regardless of whether this idea catches on, I'm always excited about getting my hands on more documentation. IBM has been fairly good about releasing tech docs and whitepapers for their architectures, so I'm hoping they'll continue this practice with Cell. In particular, the more information I have on the PPE, the happier I'll be. This is especially true right now, as I'm working on the second installment of my Xbox 360 series.

Mayor's Office
City Recycling Coordinator Gene Hanlon said 10,446 pounds of confidential documents were shredded during a two-hour "Shredding Day" event held Saturday, April 30 in conjunction with "Clean Your Files Week." The event provided residents with an opportunity to support Earth Day by recycling old files.
"This was another great example of the community stepping up to help our environment," said Hanlon. "I want to thank Shredding Solutions and Recycling Enterprises for donating their mobile shredding equipment and Lincoln Public Schools and SouthPointe Pavilions for generously allowing us to use their locations. Without this kind of community support, we would not be able to provide this very valuable and important service."
For more information on the City recycling program, call the recycling hotline at 402-441-8215 or visit recycle.lincoln.ne.gov.
