This is the third in our series analyzing Carrboro's Energy and Climate Protection Task Force's Recommended Deer Cull.
Assertion 3: "Deer overpopulation needs to be better managed to reduce negative impacts on forest regeneration and ecosystem health and biodiversity." [page 38]
Again, although there are three end notes at the bottom of page 38, none of them references any studies regarding deer and their adverse affect on forest regeneration, ecosystem health, or biodiversity.
And again, this assertion begins with the anthropocentric implicit bias of "deer overpopulation." As we established earlier, the deer in Carrboro are not overpopulated.
According to In Defense of Animals, "Wildlife management, population control and wildlife conservation are euphemisms for killing–hunting, trapping and fishing for fun. A percentage of the wild animal population is specifically mandated to be killed. Hunters want us to believe that killing animals equals population control equals conservation, when in fact hunting causes overpopulation of deer, the hunters' preferred victim species, destroys animal families, and leads to ecological disruption as well as skewed population dynamics."
The second part of this assertion contains the unproven assumption that deer are adversely affecting forest regeneration, ecosystem health, and biodiversity. As we established earlier, "excess deer" are not the primary cause of decreasing plant diversity.
According to the Humane Society of the United States, "It is easy to point the finger at deer and blame them for our forest growth woes, yet the reality is that forests are affected by many things: acid rain, insect damage, disease, forest fragmentation, pollutants, loss of soil fertility, animal browsing, invasive and other competing plant species, parasitic organisms, climatic and weather extremes, over-development … and deer. It is vital in addressing deer-human conflicts that we not use deer as scapegoats for larger and more systemic ecological problems."

We managed to find some places to shoot out of the blazing afternoon sun and here are some of what we came. I love their precious children and their great personalities. What a wonderful family. So fun to get out with them all again. Love you guys!

I once worked with someone who had started her own catering business. She had been very successful so I'll tell you a little bit more about my experience and how it may help you get ahead in this game. Maybe it will help you learn how to start a catering business from home.
Being a qualified chef for some is a dream, but it can also be extremely pressurized. For people who have families to come back to, this is no fun. It just makes sense why you may be thinking of your own home business, especially when you have to go to the restaurant for 12 hours at a time during peak season.
If you want to be with your family, but you also want to be your own boss, then this is a good decision to make. There are many more people in the world who want this lifestyle for themselves.
However, they give up on their dream too quickly, saying it will cost too much or there is too much of a risk involved. They may even say that it is just too hard, so they keep on slogging away for the rest of their lives in their little office cubicle. This brings them no joy.
Sometimes a big catering industry can be stressful, especially when you are working for others and that is why more people are deciding to take the plunge. Setting up a business from home is not hard work. There are not a lot of start up costs if you are working in your own kitchen.
In any business, it is obviously best that you start out small, and as you grow you can invest more in your business in terms of assets and equipment. If you are keen on cooking you may find that that you have most of the gear anyway so there won't be much more that you need.

The difference here is that you will require larger equipment, like big pots and pans and baking trays to be able to cater for lots of people. You will probably have to get those basic things.
You can easily slip out and pick up your kids from school and attend to anything that crops up at home. You don't have to have a massive kitchen either. When you start out, you won't have anyone working for you, but as you grow and become busier you will be able to employ more people to help you out with various tasks.
What you need to think of before starting a catering business
The most important thing is to draw up a business plan. This should also include a marketing plan.
- You have to have the mindset that this is going to be a proper business and not something that you are going to do in your spare time to make some extra pocket money.
- Find out about the competition in the area and how many other people are doing something similar to you.
- You have to know exactly what type of catering business you are starting. There is so much you can do. This can vary from baking cakes for weddings to catering for kid's birthday parties.
- How are you going to find your clients? Is it going to be word of mouth? Will you have business cards or a website? What are your advertising costs going to be?
- Find out about the expenses and expected income.

More Ideas on starting a catering business
There is lots you could come up with here. You don't have to be a chef and have had extensive training. Having a passion for food and being able to please people by satisfying their taste buds is going to be enough.
It is a lot better that you enjoy what you do and you are someone that loves food otherwise you may struggle with this because this is what you are going to be doing day in and day out.
credit: Lisa Williams
Here are a couple of things that you could think about
- Cater for companies on a small time basis using a variety of themes like providing lunches, corporate events, which could even be combined with another company who does the entertainment side.
- Kids birthday parties – If you have kids this will be a good one for advertising, which will basically be free because you can just spread the word through the school and various events.
- Weddings and functions – This can vary from making cakes to something a lot bigger like organizing the catering side of the wedding.
- Organize cocktail parties, which will include snacks with a difference. People will impressed by what you do and the word will spread. You will want to move away from the boring old sausage rolls.
- People love a good barbeque. They also don't like to do it themselves most of the time so this could be something you organize for parties and social events.
- Bigger catering events like bar mitzvahs, reunions, and big dinners for corporate events can also be organized.

What Else You May be Interested in:
Begin Choosing Your Chef Schools - are you looking to improve your qualifications. This is not necessary, but it will definitely help you and you will learn a lot.
Dressings, Sauces and Relishes - Getting to know the basics will help you in your business because things will go a lot smoother. Every caterer should know these simple steps.
How to Make and Bake Blind Pastry - Don't forget about the sweet stuff, as well as more technical terms, because you will most likely come across these. This is even more important if you are not a qualified chef.

Limos, Champagne, and Bestsellers: Robin Perini's Golden Year
Posted by Diana Belchase
National Bestselling and award wining author, Robin Perini, gave me a behind the scenes scoop on her first year as a published author. While her experience is far from ordinary, it's beyond delightful that someone who is as nice as Robin, and has worked as hard as she, finally was able to reap her just rewards. So enjoy the interview, and remember Robin is giving away both a copy of the first book in her series, In Her Sights, and a signed (and very collectible) ARC (Advanced Readers Copy) of her newest book, Behind the Lies, to two lucky readers who leave comments below!
I wanted to catch up with Robin since the video and asked her what was new.
Robin: In my 'writing' life, I've completed two more novels. The first is Behind the Lies. I just love Zach Montgomery. What a hero! Montlake will have his story out in April. I also completed another Harlequin Intrigue called Undercover Texas which will be out in June 2013. This is a Carder Texas connections book and you'll find out about some of the characters readers met in Christmas Conspiracy.
Diana: And I "heard" there is more good news about the first book in your series?
Robin: Yes, In Her Sights, came out in audio this past December.
Diana: <sighing> Most of us are waiting for books to get published in digital format and pine for print. You are already in audio. Can I rub your book for good luck?
Robin: <blushing– pushes her enormous stack of published books toward me> Thanks so much for having me on Kiss and Thrill. I'm so very blessed and thankful for all the readers who have stopped by, too.
Diana: Our pleasure Robin.
Now, don't forget to leave a comment and tell us who your favorite hero is. Two lucky people will win a copy of either In Her Sights or Behind the Lies (an extra special ARC not available to the public for a book that doesn't come out until April! So if you like to get things before your friends leave a comment! <G>)

Summary: The SILTFLUX project addressed three major objectives related to sediment pollution in rivers.
Published: 2017
Pages: 72
Filesize: 2,359KB
Format: pdf
The SILTFLUX project measured sediment flux at high temporal resolution and studied the biological response in selected river catchments of common typologies found in Ireland (focussing, on siliceous and calcareous geologies in combination with pasture and tillage land-uses). While sediment loads delivered by Irish rivers were low in comparison with many European rivers, deposited sediment was more closely associated with biological impact, although disentangling the impacts of sediment from other influences, such as nutrients, is challenging.
While further study is required before definitive sediment thresholds for impact can be established, a precautionary deposited sediment cover target not exceeding 20% is recommended for the upper reaches of river networks. However, for areas with sediment-sensitive species, a lower target may be advisable. Coordination of methods between agencies collecting sediment data is recommended to facilitate inter-comparison of datasets. SILTFLUX produced a checklist of measures to reduce and mitigate sediment effects in sensitive habitats.
SILTFLUX showed that, with care, turbidity can be used to estimate suspended sediment flux in Irish rivers, but that site and instrument specific calibration equations are required. Long term datasets of these variables are required to establish reliable relationships. The project produced a list of measures for reducing sediment loads and mitigating their effects. The project developed a modelling approach from its own data that could be extended with additional data to estimate sediment flux from ungauged small catchments which can contribute to a national sediment yield map.
The project showed that visual methods for estimating deposited sediment are useful and recommends that the methodology be standardised to enhance the usefulness of such data and in particular their relationship with reference conditions.

It started January 1, 2014. That was the day, driving home in the car from Toronto; the idea of a novel featuring a New Year's Eve at the O Zone took shape. I was still high on the experience I'd had there the night before, which became the wee hours of the present day.
What a great place for the characters of my most popular novel to visit!
I was on fire and wound the book up in three short weeks! 'Banging in the New Year, Swingers O Zone Bash was barely published as an E-book, when I decided to contact Matt and Amanda and send them a copy. Now, almost 12 months and many 'Lifestyle' books later, I'm still excited about New Year's at the O Zone! I'm planning to party once more with my husband and dear friends. Can't wait!
Sometimes I think of sex like it's a flavor of ice cream. I actually did some research on the most popular ice cream flavours. (Coming up with blog ideas is sometimes difficult, so cut me some slack, will ya.)
- Vanilla: Surprisingly, Vanilla is the all-time favourite, with 29% of people weighing in. Just like regular monogamous sex between a man and woman, by far the most prevalent type, the preference for vanilla, is a reflection of that.
- Chocolate: It's the next favourite- 8.9%. For me, this would be like BDSM kink, very strong and dark, to be sampled in small doses. Don't ask Jian Ghomeshi for his opinion on this one.
- Butter Pecan: A favourite of 5.3% of people. I'm trying to find a sexual style to compare this flavor with and I'm drawing a blank, even though I like the taste.
- Strawberry: Yummy! Preferred by 5.3% of people sampled in the article I read, it's a flavor I equate with swinging. It's fresh, like the berries in June! The sweetness is like vanilla but the delicious, red berry casts the sweetness in a tantalizing and enticing way—the same way a couple's sex life is enhanced in the Lifestyle!.
- Chocolate Chip: Mostly vanilla sex, but dabbles in dungeons.
- French vanilla: 3.8%. What's the population in the province of Quebec?
- Cookies 'n Cream: If you get your cookies off, the result is lots of cream.
- Cherry: Lost mine long time ago. It was sweet but tart at the time. I've graduated to another red flavor, strawberry.
- Rocky Road: I've seen this flavor in action. It's what happens when a couple goes to a club and they're not on the same page in their relationship. It's a rocky road home that night. Always check in with each other before pushing boundaries.
Enough talk of ice cream! My ass gets bigger just thinking of it. Which makes me think of body image…This is a huge factor for people thinking of getting into the Lifestyle. Let's face it, not everyone looks like Jennifer Lopez or Brad Pitt- thank God! Wouldn't the world be boring if we did?
It's all about attitude, baby! People will notice your smile, your confidence strutting an extra few pounds in your caboose before they'll notice anything else. Well, maybe the valley of cleavage between the mounds of a generous bust line, if they're anything like my hubby-doo. But I've seen him get quite the chubby watching confident, body-generous women, work it. As for me, a guy's eyes, his sense of humor (Okay, I've been accused of being Jessica Rabbit!) and smile warm me up more than a six pack set of abs.
The French have a great saying – 'Bien dans sa peau'- being comfortable in your skin (a lot of guys have told me they'd be comfortable in my skin LOL)! It's a feat of confidence that makes you happy, while at the same time, speaks volumes in terms of exuding pure, unadulterated, sexiness.
What's more, Yves Ste Laurent, the ultra cosmetic and perfume guru, once said "The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion." If you don't believe me, believe Yves.
Passion and fun are what I know I'll get at the O Zone on New Year's Eve. I hope to see you there. Bring the strawberry ice cream.

I remember being pregnant and knowing that breastfeeding would be difficult, but wanting so badly to stick to it this time. I read a great book and prepared myself mentally, hoping that it wouldn't hurt as badly as it had with Noah and Nora, but it did. I had awesome support. My midwife brought me a nipple shield to my postpartum visit and Jason kept encouraging me to keep going and that is what I have been doing.
I always wondered how long I would have to keep at it for it not to hurt anymore and she is four months old and it still hurts, but just a little. Mostly a minor annoyance, but the benefits outweigh the pain. It has finally gotten to the point where I'm not slathering on Lanolin every single time and don't really need the nursing pads anymore. I'm not crazy full for each feeding either. Nursing Lorelei has become a quick 5-10 minutes and she's done. I can pop her on just about anywhere (the park, running errands, wherever)and it is soo much easier than bottles! lol I never knew. :o)
I have pumped a bottle or two, but Lorelei wouldn't take it. I would probably feel like ugh I have to do EVERYTHING, but the bond she and I have and my amazing husband make my being the only one that can feed her pretty easy. It forces me to sit down and take a break which I have found to be something I don't normally do, so given that few minutes to regroup every couple of hours keeps me from over doing things. It also helps me to let Jason take care of the baby because he doesn't get to feed her.
We are now approaching solid foods and trying to figure out when to start and whether we will make our own or buy the little jars. It might be a little of both or I may enjoy learning to make purees for her. We will definitely be needing to get a high chair soon. :o) The Bumbo can only take you so far, lol.
I really enjoy breastfeeding and I'm glad that I have been able to stick with it. Somehow I got a can of formula in the mail today. I just threw it out! Ha! I know myself and I know that if it were sitting in the cupboard I might say, hey let's go on a date night, they can give her a bottle! And then that will just start us down a road that I don't want to travel. Yep, I am still breastfeeding. :o)

The 100 most social brands: report
The 2012 report from agency Headstream names Canadian companies WestJet and Blackberry as two of the top social brands this year.
Social Brands 100, a year-old initiative acknowledging brands that have made a significant and positive mark in social media, has released its 2012 report, with Canadian brands Blackberry and WestJet coming in at #45 and #55, respectively.
Created by UK-based social media agency Headstream, the Social Brands 100 report found that those that placed high on the chart were those that have a "genuine, human voice on social platforms and aren't afraid to get personal."
Some of the brands that landed a spot on the list's upper range include Starbucks (#2), Cadbury (#7), The Ellen DeGeneres Show (#9), HTC (#11), Guinness World Records (#12), Red Bull (#13), WWF (#17) and Ford (#24).
To tally each brand's social rating, the agency looked at 19 observable markers across sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Foursquare, Google+ and the brand's owned media such as its website, blog or forum. Such markers include fan engagement with Facebook posts from the brand, brand mentions on Twitter and timeliness of response, as well as the comment-to-post ratio on brand blogs.
According to the report, a social brand must adopt three underlying principles – they must acknowledge the need to not only "communicate a better brand, they must strive to be one" by creating a fair value exchange with consumers. In addition, they must actively listen by monitoring the web for relevant social conversations and have the resources required "to act on what is found in a timely manner." Lastly, brands must maintain an appropriate social behaviour that "acknowledges the etiquette of each particular community."
Aside from calculating the social media status of brands, the report also provides key findings on developments in the online space. Since 2011, there has been a 4% drop in the use of Foursquare, according to the report.
In addition, charities and non-profit organizations represent 25% of the top 20 brands on the list this year, indicating that they are beginning to make the most of social media. It also states that since Google+ launched less than a year ago, 49% of the listed brands have created a page on the site, with the same number of brands having created their own Pinterest pin board.

Tascam virtually invented modern home recording and have gone on to make musicians' lives easier and more fruitful ever since - not least with their successful phrase trainers. Now there are two newcomers. We asked experienced phrase trainer user, Jamie Humphries, to find out whether Tascam has improved the breed.
Since Tascam launched the original four-track cassette based Portastudio in 1979, the company has continued to make ground-breaking developments in professional and home recording, including hard disc recorders, digital Portastudios and computer-based interfaces that work alongside digital recording packages.
Over the past few years Tascam has revolutionised personal practice units that enable the user to loop sections of either a CD or MP3 and slow the sections down without changing the pitch, allowing difficult licks, phrases and passages to be learnt. As well as this the pitch of songs can also be changed and even guitar cancellation is possible. The units also include guitar amp simulation and multi-effects, basically offering the guitarist, musician a one-stop portable solution for practice.
As a transcriber and touring working guitarist, I've been a long-term fan and user of both the Tascam CD-GT 1 and MP-GT1, having used both units extensively for all of my transcription work and also for practice on the road, so I was pleased to be asked to take a closer look at Tascam's newest versions.
The Tascam GB-10 is an attractive unit, with a more user friendly, desk top design, as opposed to the more traditional MP3 player design of the MP-GT1. The 'wedge shape' design means that the unit's controls are easy to see and operate whilst holding your guitar, and also maybe notating your favourite licks. The GB-10 includes all of the features of its predecessors, including metronome, tuner, looping function, where an in and out point are set with the loop button. As well as this, loops can be slowed down or sped up, and the pitch of tracks can be changed; ideal for working on tracks that are in Eb tuning, meaning you can raise the pitch to standard tuning, so you don't have to re-tune your entire guitar.
For fact checkers, both the GB-10 and LR-10 give you control over tempo of 50 per cent to 150 per cent in 10 per cent steps and control over pitch of ±6 semi-tones with ±50 cents fine tune.
One of the main improvements in the GB-10 is the guitar amp simulation and effects processor. The guitar sounds are much more usable and more inspirational to play with, giving you a wider range of clean and dirty tones, and also more tonal flexibility with the cabinet simulation. The effects engine includes compressor, delay, reverb and all of the most common modulation effects. One thing that the unit would benefit from would be a noise gate, as the unit produces some hiss when gain levels are high, and the compressor is used.
Another new and exciting feature of the unit is the recording section. You can use the GB-10 as a notepad recorder, enabling you to instantly record your ideas, utilising the guitar effects section. You can also record over your favourite tracks or backing tracks; another useful practice tool, as you can instantly critique your performance. Yet another improvement is that the GB-10 will also recognise wav files as well as MP3s, so you don't have to always convert tracks before loading them from your PC or Mac via the USB. The GB-10 can also take an SD card for onboard storage. It even comes complete with an SD card, which is a welcome touch!
The LR-10 is basically the same as the GB-10, but is aimed at acoustic instruments and the human voice. It includes a reverb processor, but not the guitar amp simulator. However, the LR-10 includes a built in stereo condenser mic and also a speaker, so you don't have to use headphones or monitors.
So is the new range of Tascam trainers for you? Some might argue that you can use software based trainers, which is true. But for my money, I would highly recommend these excellent products. When transcribing, I use a tab and manuscript package and would find it frustrating and time consuming to keep swapping from one program to another to loop sections of a track in a slowing down program, and then write out the phrase in another. Also these units will fit in your gig bag, and you can instantly plug-in and practice along to songs prior to a gig with a usable guitar tone. Watch our video to find out just how easy these are to use and see some of the impressive things they let you do!

Mila Buckley specializes in self-care, and eating with Type 2 Diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus is a condition that occurs when the body is unable to process glucose properly. There are 8 million people living in the United States with undiagnosed diabetes, and it is the seventh most common cause of death in the U.S.
This week, LetsGetChecked is joined by Mila Buckley, the founder of Hangry Woman, an online publication that shares recipes tailored specially for those living with diabetes, resources for dealing with a diabetic diagnosis and steps to take when striving for self-care.
Mila speaks of the initial shock in finding out that her life would change forever with one diagnosis and how she now channels this energy into writing the Hangry Woman and eating with Type 2 Diabetes.
The first thing that went through my mind was how much I thought I failed myself.
Your publication is cleverly titled "Hangry Woman", how did you get started on this?
My husband actually helped me come up with the name! There was a time where I would get really irritable when I wouldn't eat, and he would always tell me "You get so hangry!" When I was in the process of changing my blog name, it just kept sticking with me, and since I love to write about food and eating, and I'm a woman, "Hangry Woman" was the perfect fit.
For people who don't know, what is Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is the chronic illness where your body is insulin resistant. Your body produces insulin on a consistent basis, but instead of your cells using the insulin your body produces, glucose instead builds up in your bloodstream because it can't get into your cells to be used as energy. This causes high blood sugar. Eventually, unmanaged high blood sugar can lead to serious complications.
A lot of people think that type 2 diabetes comes from eating tons of sugar, and although Type 2 Diabetes has links to lifestyle conditions like being overweight and a eating diet high in carbohydrates,sugar does not cause type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance does.
What were the main symptoms you were experiencing before you found out you had diabetes?
There were a few, I was constantly thirsty, I always had to go to the bathroom, my eyesight was blurry, I was sweaty and out of breath all the time.
How did you deal with these symptoms before going to the doctor?
At the time I was really stressed in my personal and professional life. Work was very challenging for me and I had so much going on personally that I just tossed everything up to stress. I thought if I eliminated stressors from my life, it would be easy for me to move forward. Then, I started trying to lose weight, because I figured maybe that was why I was feeling bad. I lost 20 pounds and then my weight wouldn't budge. After months of dealing with it, something told me that I should go to the doctor. Once I did, I found out that I had diabetes.
What was it like when you found out? What was the first thing that went through your mind?
The first thing that went through my mind was how much I thought I failed myself. For so long I thought that I really tried to do my best, and it was so hard for me to accept that my whole life was going to change.
I was so confused, and upset, and frankly depressed. I didn't know what I was going to do about it.
It didn't help that my first doctor was very dismissive, he handed me a prescription and told me to work out, take the medication, and come back in three months. There was no guidance at first.
How did you deal with your diagnoses in the weeks that followed?
By nature I'm just inquisitive. So I read blogs, and websites and articles to get familiar with what I would be dealing with. I did the same thing and went back to the doctor a couple of weeks later with questions that I was too shocked to ask upon getting my diagnosis. I asked to see specialists like a dietician and an endocrinologist. I told my family about it, and tried to make the very best of a really tough situation. I also started to journal my feelings. I wanted to scream so many times, and getting the diagnosis made me sad, but writing about it made feel better.
Putting the pen to the page was very therapeutic in some ways and allowed me to express my frustrations and questions about what to do next.
What advice would you give to someone who has just found out that they have diabetes?
I would tell them that it's going to be okay, and that finding your groove and asking questions is going to get you through this. Swallowing the diagnosis is the hardest part, once you find a routine, and support, your life will positively change in ways you can't imagine!
You are a foodie, how did your diagnoses affect your diet?
More than anything I'm more careful about what I eat, and trying to measure my intake. I'm way more conscious of chips in the middle of the table at a Tex-Mex restaurant, or any kind of bread. I'm also striving to balance the macros in my meals, and lower my carbohydrate intake. I of course have days where I get off track, but I correct it as soon as I can and I keep moving.
What advice would you have given yourself on finding out that you had diabetes?
I actually wrote a blog about this. There were so many things I wish I knew, and so many things I wish my past self knew about accepting this diagnosis and all that comes with it, but the first thing I would have told myself would have been that this was all going to be okay. Everything that seemed so scary then was only scary because I didn't know much about what my body was going through. Now that I have a better understanding, I feel like I have a hold on things.
How do you manage your diagnoses now?
I talk about it and document it mostly. It really helps me cope when I can explain my feelings and learn more about how to best manage things. Overall, I exercise, I do my best to balance my meals, I'm careful about taking my medication and giving myself my insulin doses and I just keep taking it one day at a time. That's the key.
One foot in front of the other, and you can make it.
Has your blog helped you to overcome living with diabetes?
My blog has really helped me with learning to live with my illness and doing more research and but also connecting with people who have a similar story and have to live with a similar lifestyle. Writing it has shown me that I'm not alone, and although some days may be a struggle, there are so many people making it work.
Do what you can, with what you have and where you are.
What words do you live by?
You can only do you best with what you've got in front of you. When that's what you've got, you have to take it as far as it will go. That's how I feel about my diagnosis. I was only able to do what I could with what I had where I was. I'm in a much better place now, so I'm able to do a whole lot more.

Christie Ally Quits as Port Authority Chairman
Gov. Chris Christie held his first press conference in the nearly three months since the controversy. An grocery delivery app called Instacart aims to shake up the market.

... I ... the ... Ch ... to this ... question would be raised by some quarters ... to those peoples objectivity ... my answer to that is ... look at the report ... we keep them unfettered concrete access to everyone ... in this couple ... Chris Christie's back says I race out that his first press conference in months announcing today the chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has resigned ... welcomes your Friday afternoon news have I'm Sara Murray ...

UPDATE: Banner Health Selects Contractors for $400M Medical Center
- By
- Jun 09, 2015
Banner Health's first project in Tucson since its merger with the University of Arizona Health Network is moving forward. The company recently announced it has selected the contractors for its development, Banner–University Medical Center Tucson.
Pending zoning approvals, Sundt I DPR, Sundt Construction Inc.'s joint venture with DPR Construction, will begin preparing the site and utilities late this year, with construction starting in early 2016. As previously reported, Shepley Bullfinch of Phoenix and GLHN Architects and Engineers Inc. of Tucson were tapped to design the building which is expected to open in 2019. The $400 million development includes an 11-story tower that is set to replace the 40-year-old portion of the hospital at Banner – University Medical Center Tucson. The 689,000-square-foot patient tower will be configured and sized for current and future health-care technology, with 336 private patient rooms, 22 new operating rooms, imaging suites and public spaces.
Banner acquired the University of Arizona Medical Center — University Campus (the former University Medical Center at 1501 North Campbell Avenue) following the merger that took place earlier this year, in February. At the same time, the Arizona-based nonprofit organization entered a 30-year Academic Affiliation Agreement with the University of Arizona to serve as the primary clinical partner to the UA Colleges of Medicine in Tucson and Phoenix.

Has CE or CLE affected your family? Could it? The Cree Health Board's CE-CLE Carrier Screening program deals with two genetic diseases, Cree Encephalitis (CE) and Cree Leukoencephalopathy (CLE).
The Eeyou Awaash Foundation, the Cree Health Board, and a research team from Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal, are partnering to evaluate this program to learn how well it is working for you and discover what improvements need to be made so that it serves you better.
The evaluation survey will ask people taking part in the program
- How much they have learned about CE and CLE through the program;
- How they feel about the program;
- Whether their family has had any experience with CE-CLE.
People who participate in the evaluation will be asked to fill out three questionnaires: one before a session with the nurse, one after, and the third 6–12 months later. The questionnaires will be sent to the researchers, who will put them together with the survey responses from other participants.
Dates for each community:
Eastmain: January 22-23
Whapmagoostui: January 29-30-31
Ouje-Bougoumou: February 3-4
Waswanipi: February 5-6-7
Wemindji: February 18-19-20
Chisasibi: March 3 to 7
The evaluation may also provide information that will help other Aboriginal groups who wish to set up similar programs.
If you are interested in participating in the evaluation survey or have any questions, you can contact:
Ms Valérie Gosselin
Cellphone: 819-855-5609
Email: email@example.com
The CE-CLE Screening Program is offered to adults in the Awash clinics and to Secondary 3-5 students in high schools. Participants are given an information session about these diseases, and then ask the program nurse any questions they have. If they wish, they can also ask for a blood test to see if they carry the genes for these diseases.

Dear Moneyist,
My brother has a mild form of autism, which means I am his financial manager. He trusts me implicitly and relies on me to manage his expenses and savings. As a matter of principle, I do not hold his passwords and anytime we transact from his accounts I go over to his house and walk him through exactly what we are doing.
My brother is well-loved and provided for by our family, but we're concerned that he is a lamb among wolves and susceptible to scams and financial predators. For example, a total stranger once convinced him to pay her $200 water bill. His assets are not substantial, but he's a saver and has few expenses.
Also see:Why more white-collar workers are at risk for suicide
We've considered getting guardianship but we're afraid that if he's ever subject to a lawsuit we could be on the hook. His autism makes him uncoordinated and unaware. It's not that we would want him to take the fall — just that we would want to limit the damage to our family. What is your advice for protecting him?
In addition, how do I create oversight for managing his money? The reality is that it would easy for me or any family member to convince him to give them money or steal it. I don't foresee that happening, but my dad always says that bad systems make good people go bad. We have a third sibling who we both trust.
Brother in Kentucky
Dear Brother,
The Moneyist is always heartened to hear from someone who is trying to make someone's life better. Your brother is fortunate to have you looking out for him. First, the good news. Becoming his legal guardian doesn't mean that you would be on the hook if anyone decided to sue your brother and it's highly unlikely that you would be cited in a lawsuit because you were his guardian. Alternatively, you could become a durable power of attorney for your brother.
"To protect him and the family, I suggest you consider guardianship or conservatorship to assist in managing his finances and for health care, so if he was injured you can make health care decisions for him, too," says Beth Salazar, the planned giving manager at the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center in Phoenix, Ariz. "You or whomever is managing his finances would then need to post a "bond" and that insures them if there are problems."
If you are managing his finances, you would likely need to post a bond and that would insure you if there were any problems. This would protect your brother. You could also appoint a professional licensed fiduciary to help manage his finances, Salazar says, although it seems like you are primed to take care of that yourself. Under conservatorship or guardianship, the court would oversee your management of your brother's finances, she says, with an annual review of his finances.
Don't miss: Never (ever) say these things to a co-worker
The Moneyist Facebook Group weighed in on your question. Some members suggested organizations like Autism Speaks to help you navigate your brother's financial life, while ensuring he has as much independence as possible. Another member suggested: "Talk to your brother about how sometimes people don't tell the truth, and try to take advantage of others." Of course, only you will know how to navigate the important issue of strangers and trust.
Other members suggest a joint bank account where he can only withdraw a certain amount of money every month — say, $200 for certain utilities — while another recommends a special needs trust. The latter can help you plan for your brother's future in the event that you predecease him, and outline your wishes for medical care, financial support and government benefits. You can set this up during your lifetime or make provisions in your will.
I applaud you for taking care of your brother and for doing so with such sensitivity to his needs. Making financial decisions together where possible is both wise and respectful. I understand your concerns about him paying a stranger's water bill. They clearly took advantage of your brother's vulnerabilities and he is lucky to have a brother who both loves him, and has the time and willingness to look out for his needs. Bravo! The Moneyist salutes you.

Just one of many nice touches: any fonts you've previously purchased from H&FJ — as regular old fashioned desktop fonts — are already available to you as web fonts.

Do you think your boss should have access to your Facebook account? A Maryland man doesn't, and he has enlisted the help of the American Civil Liberties Union to back him up.
The ACLU has filed a letter with the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services objecting to what it called the agency's "frightening and illegal invasion of privacy" after corrections officer Robert Collins was forced to hand over his Facebook user name and password as part of a job application process.
Last July, following a four-month medical leave of absence, Collins applied to be reinstated to the post he had held for more than three years. In addition to the customary background check and fingerprinting, Collins was asked to hand over his Facebook password and user name and was made to watch while a Department of Corrections officer logged on to Collins' account.
All prospective Maryland DOC employees are required to provide their social media account information, according to the ACLU. The ACLU's letter called the DOC policy unjustified as well as illegal under the Stored Communications Act, which it said prohibits employers from accessing private electronic communications without valid authorization.
In a video posted on the ACLU website, Collins expressed his indignation over being made to open his private online life to scrutiny by a potential employer.
"Here I am, a U.S. citizen who hasn't broken any laws, who hasn't committed any crimes, and I had an employer looking at my personal communications, my personal posts, my personal pictures, looking at my personal identifiable information, where my religious beliefs, my political beliefs, my sexuality -- all of these things are possibly disclosed on this page. It's an absolute total invasion and overreach and overstep on their part," Collins said.
The Maryland DOC has yet to respond to the ACLU's letter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RorieDLionHalloweenGuy from Amazing! I love this piece! I mainly bought it for Halloween, but I went ahead and hung it up in our living room. The green eyes really stand out. To see much detail you have to move in closely and with an over-head light. During Halloween time I plan to hang it in front of a large mirror in our dining room. Our walls are white so this piece will really stand out nicely. I plan on moving it into the hallway after Halloween. I don't want to put it away ever.

Book of Saints – Sabinus, Exuperantius, Marcellus, Venustianus and Others
(December 30) (Saints) Martyrs (4th century) Martyrs at Spoleto (Italy) in the persecution under Diocletian. Saint Sabinus was a Bishop, and Exuperantius and Marcellus, two of his deacons. But Venustianus was the governor of Etruria or Tuscany. To him Maximian Herculeus, the savage colleague of Diocletian, had addressed a special Decree enjoining the persecution to death of all Christians,/a>. Becoming himself a convert, Venustianus, with his wife and family, shared at Assisi the fate of the two deacons, who were beheaded. Saint Sabinus had his hands cut off, and died in prison A.D. 302.

When an injured employee sues a third party for negligence, the law usually permits her employer's workers compensation insurer to share in the recovery. Last month, in DiCarlo v. Suffolk Construction Co., Nos. SJC-11854 and SJC-11853 (Mass. Feb. 12, 2016), the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts found that this right does not apply to any portion of a settlement designated as compensation for "pain and suffering." The decision turns on a highly questionable analysis of the language of the relevant statute. Although the court expressed confidence that employees will be unable to "stack the deck" of future settlements, insurers might not share that optimism.
Electricians Do Dangerous Work
In October 2004, Robert DiCarlo sustained on-the-job injuries while working as an electrician at a construction site. He filed a workers compensation claim, and his employer's insurer ultimately paid $280,000 for medical expenses and lost wages.
Separately, Mr. DiCarlo brought a civil suit against the owner of the construction site and the contractor managing the site. In that suit, he claimed damages for his economic loss, and he also sought to recover for his pain and suffering—for which his employer was not liable under the Massachusetts workers compensation statute. Mr. DiCarlo settled the suit for $100,000, of which 35% was designated as compensation for pain and suffering.
Bernard Martin, another electrician, was injured on a construction site in August 2010. His employer's insurer paid him $566,000 for medical expenses and lost wages. He then sued the construction site's general contractor, together with a subcontractor at the site. That case settled for $1 million, of which 30% was allocated to pain and suffering
The Insurer's Lien
The tort actions brought by Messrs. DiCarlo and Martin were authorized by Mass. General Laws ch. 152, § 15, which provides, in part:
Where the injury for which compensation is payable was caused under circumstances creating a legal liability in some person other than the insured [employer] to pay damages in respect thereof, the employee shall be entitled, without election, to the compensation and other benefits provided under this chapter. Either the employee or insurer may proceed to enforce the liability of such person … . The sum recovered shall be for the benefit of the [employer's workers compensation] insurer, unless such sum is greater than that paid by it to the employee, in which event the excess shall be retained by or paid to the employee. For the purposes of this section, "excess" shall mean the amount by which the gross sum received in payment for the injury exceeds the compensation paid under this chapter. …
The same statute further provides that settlement of actions of this kind are subject to court approval, which may not be granted without giving the insurer an opportunity to be heard:
"Except in the case of settlement by agreement by the parties to, and during a trial of, such an action at law, no settlement by agreement shall be made with [a non-employer defendant] without the approval of either the board, the reviewing board, or the court in which the action has been commenced after a hearing in which both the employee and the insurer have had an opportunity to be heard. At such hearing the court shall inquire and make a finding … on the merits of the settlement, … and on the amount, if any, to which the insurer is entitled out of such settlement by way of reimbursement …
In both tort actions, the employers' insurer sought to recover, pursuant to this statute, the full amount of the benefits it had paid. In Mr. DiCarlo's suit, the trial court declined to approve the settlement: the settlement was for less than the amount that the insurer had already paid, and the court found that the insurer was entitled to the full amount, including the portion allocated for pain and suffering. In Mr. Martin's case, a different trial court approved the settlement over the insurer's objection.
The Massachusetts Appeals Court consolidated the cases and decided that amounts paid for pain and suffering were "excess" payments—not recoverable by an insurer—within the meaning of the statute. The Supreme Judicial Court then granted the insurer's petition for review.
You Know Sometimes Words Have Two Meanings
Under the statute quoted above, payment recovered in an employee's third-party tort action "shall be for the benefit of the insurer," except to the extent it constitutes "excess." The statute defines "excess" as "the amount by which the gross sum received in payment for the injury exceeds the compensation paid under" the workers compensation law.
The employees argued that the word "injury," as used in that definition, means "only those injuries for which workers' compensation benefits are payable." In other words, the employees asserted that the statute gives the insurer a lien only on a recovery for medical expenses and lost wages, but not on compensation for pain and suffering, which workers compensation insurance does not cover.
The insurer, on the other hand, argued that "injury" means "the personal injury sustained by the employee as a result of the work-related accident." Under that reading, payment for pain and suffering would still constitute "payment for the injury," within the meaning of the statute.
The court sided with the employees, on the following ground:
"[The insurer's] interpretation … would require the word 'injury' to take on two different meaning within § 15. In the section's opening phrase, 'injury' is used narrowly to refer to 'the injury for which [workers'] compensation is payable.' The insurer proposes that, three sentences later, where the provision speaks of the 'gross sum received in payment for the injury,' the word 'injury' be read expansively to refer to all harms suffered by the worker, including those not covered by workers' compensation. We cannot indorse this construction, which 'would require us to attribute different meanings to the same words in the same paragraph.'
That reasoning is clearly open to dispute. Contrary to the court's assertion, the opening sentence of § 15 does not "narrowly" use the word "injury" to "refer to 'the injury for which compensation is payable'"—in other words, to a category of damages recoverable in litigation. The statute uses the word "injury," and then qualifies it with the phrase, "for which compensation is payable." If, as the court found, the word "injury" were being used in a way that included this qualification in its own definition, then the words "for which compensation is payable" would be surplussage
The sentence in question states:
Where the injury for which compensation is payable was caused under circumstances creating a legal liability in some person other than the insured [employer] to pay damages …, the employee shall [still] be entitled … to the compensation … provided under this chapter.
In other words, if an employee suffers an "injury," if that injury makes the employee eligible for compensation under the workers compensation law, and if the injury also creates liability on the part of someone other than the employer, then the employee may pursue that third party without forfeiting her statutory benefits. If "injury" is understood to mean nothing more specific than a physical mishap (or, as the insurer suggested, "the personal injury sustained by the employee as a result of the work-related accident"), the sentence is still perfectly intelligible.
Other workers compensation statutes employ strikingly similar language, yet courts construing them have awarded insurers amounts paid for pain and suffering. E.g., Perry v. Hartford Acci. & Indem. Co., 481 A.2d 133 (Me. 1984) (applying 39 M.R.S.A. § 68 (Pamph. 1983-1984)); U.S. v. Lorenzetti, 467 U.S. 167 (1984) (applying 5 U.S.C. § 8132). The Massachusetts court distinguished those cases, on the ground that
"none of the statutes at issue … limits both the meaning of 'injury' to 'injury for which compensation is payable' and the insurer's lien to 'payment for the injury."
As just noted, however, the Massachusetts statute does not "limit[] … the meaning of 'injury'"; it uses the phrase "for which compensation is payable" to limit the type of "injury" for which an employee may retain statutory benefits, "without election," while also suing a third party. Thus, the court's treatment of persuasive authority is open to the same criticism as its textual analysis.
The court also cited its own, 36-year-old opinion in Eisner v. Hertz Corp., 381 Mass. 127 (1980). In Eisner, the insurer sought to apply its lien to payments received by the employee's wife—one on a wrongful death claim, the other for loss of consortium. The court held that the lien applied to the first payment, because the insurer had paid a death benefit under the workers compensation statute, but it did not apply to the second—because loss of consortium is not an injury "for which [workers] compensation is payable," within the meaning of § 15.
The Eisner court concluded that "Section 15 does not require reimbursement for an injury not compensable under [the workers compensation statute]." But that conclusion did not limit the definition of "injury" in the manner that was adopted in DiCarlo. Section 15 authorizes lawsuits in cases in which "[workers] compensation is payable" for an injury, and the injury "was caused under circumstances creating a legal liability in some person" other than the employer. Even if the statute had expressly defined "injury" to mean "the personal injury sustained by the employee," the result in Eisner would have been the same.
"If Any"
The Supreme Judicial Court also based its decision on language that appears later in § 15:
At such hearing [to approve a settlement] the court shall inquire and make a finding … on the merits of the settlement, … and on the amount, if any, to which the insurer is entitled out of such settlement by way of reimbursement …
Because "a statute must be construed so that … no part will be inoperative or superfluous," the court, focusing on the words "if any," inferred that there must be some cases in which the insurer would not be entitled to any part of a settlement. It went on:
"Our holding makes this possible, allowing the words to account for the rare instance where an award is allocated entirely to pain and suffering, resulting in its complete exemption from the insurer's lien.
The insurer argued that "if any" could account for a different scenario:
"An insurer … would be entitled to no recovery where the employee is more than 50% negligent and cannot recover against the tortfeasor. The employee's spouse and children, however, could still recover for loss of consortium and loss of parental society. In that circumstance, the entire recovery would go to the family members.
The court rejected that argument, on the ground that the "if any" language was added in 1939, at a time before actions for loss of consortium were recognized under Massachusetts law.
Stacking the Deck
DiCarlo limits insurers' statutory right to recover third-party settlements. It also gives employees an incentive to settle claims for less than the total amount they might expect to recover, so long as the settlement provides generous compensation for pain and suffering. And it potentially gives parties a device for cutting insurers out of tort settlements entirely.
This Supreme Judicial Court was not particularly impressed by these facts:
"[T]his result will not deprive an insurer of its reimbursement rights where an employee and a third-party defendant reach a settlement that would 'stack the deck' against the insurer by inappropriately allocating the bulk of damages to pain and suffering. Section 15 precludes such a result by requiring that all settlements be approved … . Moreover, a settlement amount allocated entirely or in large part to pain and suffering will 'be eyed by the court with a healthy dose of skepticism.'
Even if Massachusetts courts turn out to be as vigilant as DiCarlo predicts, however, insurers might still suffer. For example: what if an employee, having been paid in full by a workers compensation insurer for medical expenses and lost wages, purports to bring a negligence suit that seeks damages exclusively for pain and suffering? May a "skeptical" court allocate any part of the recovery to the insurer?
Whatever the answer, Massachusetts workers compensation insurers now have greater incentive to avail themselves of their own statutory right to bring actions against tortfeasors under § 15.

Product Liability Insurance for Your Santa Clarita Business
Product Liability Insurance for Your Santa Clarita Business
Product Liability Insurance for Your Business
The purpose of product liability insurance will work to protect a business from any claims related to the manufacture or the selling of medicines, food, products or other goods, to the consumers. It covers the sellers or the manufacturer's liability for any losses or any type of injury that occurs to a buyer, a user or a bystander that is the result of a malfunction or defect of the product, and in some cases, a failure to war or defective design. In order to understand the need for this type of coverage it is important to understand the possibility of liability. There are typically three types of claims, related to products, that a
Santa Clarita business insurance
holder might encounter.
Production or Manufacturing Flaws
This is a claim that is a part of the manufacturer's production process caused an unsafe defect in the product. An example of this type of claim would be the presence of dangerous chemicals in a product.
Design Defect
This includes a claim that the actual design of the product is considered inherently unsafe. A classic example of this type of products liability claim would be the Ford Pinto car cases that took place back in the 1970s.
Defective Instructions or Warnings
This includes the claim that a product has not been labeled properly or it did not have sufficient warnings to ensure that a consumer fully understood the entire risk. An example of this case would be the infamous McDonalds "coffee case."
The damages that are typically awarded in these types of cases include the medical costs, any economic or compensatory damages and in some cases punitive damages and attorney's fees. The fact is that product liability cases, without the proper insurance coverage, can put a business out of business – end of story.
Too often a re-seller, or a gray market commercial seller and various retailers do not ensure they secure this type of coverage. Their logic is that since they are not actually manufacturing anything, they do not need to purchase the coverage. However, the fact is that the manufacturer is not the only responsible party when it comes to product liability. Wholesalers and retailers can also be brought into a specific lawsuit for any type of alleged negligence that occurs to the consumer. The stream of commerce is the model of liability that is followed. This means that if you have a company that participated in placing a certain product in the stream of commerce, it may be held liable for any damages to the end user.
The fact is that having products liability insurance is essential if your business plays a role of getting a product, food, or other item to a consumer.

Continuing the theme of ringed birds, Richard Porter photographed this colour-ringed female Ringed Plover on the Point this week. This bird was ringed along the coast at Snettisham in 1999. She has been found breeding or holding a territory on Blakeney Point for at least seven years since 2003.
These two stories highlight how useful ringing birds is for getting more information about them. We will be ringing a sample of Sandwich Terns this summer in order to increase our knowledge about their movements.
Also this week, the first Oystercatcher chicks have hatched as well as more Redshanks. We were able to capture some footage of four Redshank chicks leaving their nest with our trail camera:
Unlike passerines (song birds such as Linnets and Meadow Pipits) which remain in the nest for several days after hatching, wader chicks can leave the nest the same day, like ducklings and goslings.
We have enjoyed watching Oystercatcher chicks running amongst the thrift in front of the Lifeboat House. The first one hatched on Wednesday.
Other bird sightings include a Spoonbill in Pinchen's Creek on Saturday, which Matt managed to photograph. There are still a few migrants trickling through; today there was a female Pied Flycatcher in the Plantation.
On Friday 42 Common Blue butterflies were counted. This is the highest record of Common Blues on the Point.
(Photograph by Richard Porter)
On a completely different note; you never know what you might find washed up on the beach. Our most recent finds include this large German sausage, which has proved delicious for lunch...
... and these rather patriotic sunglasses:
