- Disability Benefits
The benefits provided under Tennessee's workers' compensation law are set out in Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 50, Chapter 6. Basically the benefits are:
Payment of temporary disability benefits until you are able to return to your job,
Payment of permanent disability benefits if your compensable injury permanently lessens your ability to perform your job
If your doctor, in the course of treating your compensable injury, determines that you are temporarily unable to return to work, then you are eligible for temporary total disability benefits. These benefits, also called lost time pay, are intended to replace part of the income you may lose as a result of your compensable injury. To receive temporary total disability benefits, you must be on a leave without pay status from your employer during the time you wish to receive the temporary total disability benefits. You may choose to use your accumulated sick and annual leave instead of or prior to requesting temporary total disability benefits since workers' compensation benefits will be less than the amount you would receive if you use your sick or annual leave. This is a choice to be made by the employee.
To qualify for temporary total disability benefits, you must be out of work due to your compensable injury for seven days. Your temporary total disability benefits would then begin to accrue on the eighth day of disability. If you are out of work for 14 days or more, then you are eligible to receive temporary disability benefits for the full period of disability. The amount of temporary total disability benefits you receive is equal to 66 and 2/3 percent of your average weekly wage at the time of your accident, subject to the following maximum amounts:
Payment Of Temporary Partial Disability Benefits
If, during your treatment and before you are fully recovered, your physician determines that you can work on a part-time basis, then you are eligible for temporary partial disability benefits. The workers' compensation law provides for payment of 66 and 2/3 percent of the difference between the employee's wage at the time of the injury and the wage that the employee is able to earn while in a partially disabled condition, subject to the statutory maximums.
Payment of Permanent Disability Benefits
If your compensable injury results in a permanent reduction in your ability to perform work for which you are suited by education, age and training, then you may be eligible for permanent disability benefits. The decision on whether to offer you a permanent disability benefit will be reached after reviewing the recommendations of your treating physician. In addition, you may be required to be examined by an independent physician whose recommendations will also be considered. The benefit payable, if any, is based upon the degree to which you are permanently disabled. The degree of your disability (which eventually determines the amount of your disability benefit) is subject to agreement between you and the state.
Permanent disability benefits are generally paid biweekly over the period of time necessary to pay the entire amount agreed upon by you and the state. In certain exceptional cases, the state may agree to pay permanent disability benefits in a lump sum. The maximum amount of benefits which may be paid to you depends on the date your compensable injury occurred.

There's never been much legitimate doubt that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee for president, and by now there's probably not even much unreasonable doubt left. Clinton doubles up her main rival Barack Obama in the latest CNN poll (40 percent to 21 percent, with 13 percent for the unbearably light John Edwards).
Even in Iowa, where Edwards once led Clinton, two recent polls (University of Iowa and ARG) have Clinton leading him (27-22 and 30-21 respectively). Iowa was never going to be very important to the process, and may be even less so if certain key primary dates move up. However, Clinton's lead over Edwards in a state where he's been camped out for months, and one that can be partial to his sort of candidacy, speaks volumes about her gathering strength and his serious weakness.
JOHN adds: Not long ago, most of my smart Democratic friends were looking for a more electable alternative to Hillary. Remarkably, with hindsight, some cast John Edwards in that role. Without the primaries even having begun, Hillary has benefited from the process, as she has been able to position herself as the relatively sensible Democrat in the race. I'm not hearing much about finding an alternative at this point.

Diane Brady was on Mile 19 of the Boston Marathon on Monday when she was stopped. The Abington resident said she could feel something was wrong by the way the crowd and the volunteers were acting – looking at their cell phones, talking quietly to one another.
Diane Brady was on Mile 19 of the Boston Marathon on Monday when she was stopped. The Abington resident said she could feel something was wrong by the way the crowd and the volunteers were acting – looking at their cell phones, talking quietly to one another.
She asked a volunteer, "is everything OK?"
"No it's not OK. There have been fatalities," a volunteer told her of the tragic bombing that was unfolding at the historic race's finish line.
"I had my entire family at the finish line, from my 81-year-old mother to my 2-year-old great nephew," Brady, 45, said Wednesday. "I pulled my phone out of my pack and started calling and I couldn't get in touch with anybody and I thought, 'Oh my gosh. They're gone.'"
Brady has an 11-year-old son with cerebral palsy for whom she was running her second Boston Marathon. She thought of the year before when she crossed the finish line of her first marathon and her husband held her son Brendan over the barricades as they waved and cheered for her accomplishment.
"I just had visions of him being at that finish line not being able to run and visions of them all being gone," said Brady.
Three people were killed in the blasts and 176 were injured.
But her family was safe, she would come to find out many hours later.
And Brendan, who was next to the bleachers that overlooked the explosions on the corner of Exeter and Boylston streets was safe, too – thanks to a caregiver who took him to safety.
A young caregiver
Nick Atkinson is a 19-year-old Abington resident and Massasoit Community College student. When not in class, Atkinson spends about 20 hours a week with Brendan Brady.
Atkinson takes the 11-year-old outside to play, feeds him and helps him with whatever he can.
On Monday, Atkinson was with Brendan as they waited at the finish line. The group of 20 people there to see her had scattered, but Atkinson stayed with Brendan.
"We were around police officers when I saw the first explosion and the fire and smoke and I felt the percussion of it hit me," said Atkinson. "I wasn't sure what was going on and then the police were saying, 'Wow. This isn't good.' They hopped the barricades and started running so I scooped (Brendan) up and started running away and then I felt the percussion of the second bomb on my back."
Brendan and Atkinson were shaken but uninjured by the blasts.
When Brady watched the video of the explosion and its aftermath she saw something familiar – the carriage that Brendan had been in was still in the street.
"I just can't say enough how amazing he is," Brady said about Atkinson.
After about an hour of trying to reach the family, Atkinson and Brendan met up with the Brady clan.
Brendan's 14-year-old brother was also with the group, but he was in the Prudential Center when the bombs went off. He made it back to the group safely as well and when they were finally all together they knew they had to leave so they just kept running until they felt safe, said Brady.
Coming home and moving on
Brady, now stuck at Mile 19 of the route, was shuffled into a side street with hundreds of other runners.
The group was taken by bus to Boston College. A couple hours later a friend came and picked up Brady to take her home.
"It was beautiful because when I walked in my door my whole family that was going to be at the finish line cheering me on was in my house," said Brady.
"I'm extremely lucky but I feel for my family who went through that traumatic event," said Brady. "I can't stop thinking about the 'what if.' I feel like I shouldn't be like that because were all OK but everybody did go through a traumatic event."
On Wednesday, two days after the unthinkable events, the Brady family felt grateful but not happy.
They didn't feel like smiling. They didn't feel relief. There were still too many unanswered questions.
"Emotionally, I'm still distraught about the whole thing," said Brady. "I'm having a hard time just going on."

The lame duck session of Congress should be focusing on the nation's core business – passing a budget and deciding whether our tax rates will stay where they are beginning in January or increase for some or all of us. However, the Democrats seem focused instead on more peripheral matters that are of special interest to their special interest constituencies – namely the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" (for the gay component of the Democratic base) and enactment of the "DREAM Act" (for the Hispanic component).
Before the election, the Democrats included both of these left-liberal agenda items in a proposed Defense Appropriations bill. The bill failed. Now, the Dems have decided to push both as stand-alone legislation.
To get the ball rolling on reconsideration of "don't ask, don't tell," the Senate Armed Services Committee will hold a two-day hearing on December 2 and 3 regarding the Pentagon's report on the impact of repealing the policy. To accommodate the Democrats, Defense Secretary Gates moved up the report's release date by a day, to Nov. 30. This gives committee members an additional day to review the report. However, a two or three-day review period is still insufficient when the issue is changing basic military policy. So is a two-day hearing.
Fortunately, it seems unlikely that don't ask, don't tell will be repealed. Lindsey Graham, a pretty good vote counter, told Chris Wallace today that he doesn't believe "there's anywhere near the votes to repeal DADT on the Republican side." Graham predicted that "in the lame-duck session DADT isn't going anywhere."
The Dream Act probably won't go anywhere either. In all likelihood, Harry Reid is pushing the legislation not because he thinks it will pass but rather as a thank you to the Hispanic voters who helped re-elect him, and because he wants to keep Hispanic voters stoked up with anti-Republican sentiment.
Republicans should oblige Reid. There are, in my view, individuals encompassed by the DREAM Act for whom a good case for citizenship can be made. But, as David Frum shows, the DREAM Act paints with too broad of a brush and would almost certainly become the vehicle for fraud and abuse. Moreover, the Act would likely act as a magnet for future illegal immigration. In Frum's words:
DREAM stands as an ongoing invitation, forever and ever. DREAM's benefits extend not only to people who happen NOW to be illegally present inside the United States. DREAM's benefits will be extended to all those who may enter illegally in future. DREAM's message goes forth to Indonesia, to Egypt, to India, to China, to anywhere where teenagers find $7 an hour more attractive than $7 a day: come now and come early. Don't waste your time acquiring an education before you arrive. We'll subsidize your education right here in America.
The Democrats' decision to put repeal of don't ask, don't tell and the DREAM Act on the front-burner of the lame duck session provides a timely reminder of how grateful we should be that their power in the new Congress will be so markedly diminished.

As some of you know I mainly do landscapes for myself and I used to upgrade every other PSCS cycle. I am currently at CS5. Since I am happy with CNX2 as a raw converter and Windows as a DAM - and I am not planning to start using LR - I figure my PS costs averaged out at around $5/month for the last several years.
The current time-limited $9.99/month offer for CC+LR is twice my historical cost - but low enough that I could grin and bear it. The question then becomes whether there is an actual reason for me to buy into CC. In other words, are there any compelling features that would make a photographer want to upgrade to CC from CS5/6? Shake reduction and new/improved Smart Sharpen are neither here nor there to me, so I can't say I see anything that appears like a must-have feature that I don't already have (perhaps through a plug-in or third party software). But maybe I'm missing something. What was the killer feature that made you take the plunge?
Or is this really like Word 2007 and 2010 - the difference in functionality between the two is so limited as to appear immaterial to most people?
If you use say CS6 and then go back and use CS5, you suddenly realise how much nicer the new version is to use.
Hm... I did just that - got to use CS6 for two weeks, then back to CS5 on my normal machine. Apart from white-on-black UI instead of black-on-white I barely noticed the difference. Maybe I'm just unobservant.
It is PS. Not food. There are no "must haves" in PS. There are only things that save you time and things that make you money. If the time saved equates to a saving greater than the cost of the software then it becomes "sensible to have" or perhaps even a "stupid not to have". Depends on your workflow and charge out rate really.
Yeh, for $10/month, saving just 10 minutes in processing time over the entire month pays back the cost. People squabbling about the cost really need to look at how they value their time.
For professionals, yes - provided CC really does save them time. But amateurs don't value their time at $60 an hour.
I have some less than optimal images taken handheld with a long lens and wonder how effective this tool would be in fixing slight camera motion blur and ghosting.
Anyway, as I said, the pen tool enhancements alone more than save me the subscription price per month.

Regional ethics commission aims to serve towns when conflicts exist
Norwich — The region's planning agency will create an ethics commission that will help towns resolve complaints about the ethics of public officials and employees.
The Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments, comprised of elected officials from 20 local towns, voted Wednesday to create the five- to seven-member commission.
It will not take the place of ethics commissions or boards that already exist in local towns, but rather will offer towns an alternate way to resolve a complaint.
The regional commission is designed to provide another level of review and to prevent partisan politics or other conflicts of interest from complicating disputes.
"Our ethics commission thought it was a great idea," Preston First Selectman Robert Congdon said. "They felt it would be very hard to unbiasedly adjudicate certain issues. They would welcome having the opportunity in those cases to forward it to a regional board."
James S. Butler, the council of governments' executive director, prepared a detailed report outlining the regional ethics commission's role and duties.
Mayors and first selectmen would not be allowed to sit on the commission, which first would have to deem a complaint appropriate for regional review. The commission could then use a retired attorney or police officer, for example, to investigate an ethics complaint. An investigator would be paid by the town in which the complaint originated.
The commission would then hold a closed hearing on the matter, unless the accused person wished it to be public. The commission would have the power to subpoena witnesses and to collect evidence. Ultimately, it would issue a recommendation, and it would be up to the town to accept that recommendation and dole out any punishment it deemed necessary.
Research done by Butler showed the idea of a regional ethics commission stretched back to 2007. A 2009 survey of the council's member towns showed 10 were interested in the idea. Another survey a year later showed lukewarm support. Only nine towns responded and only four expressed interest.
Colchester First Selectman Gregg Schuster said ethics complaints in his town are rare, and he felt the regional commission may complicate matters.
"I like the idea of regionalism if it replaces something and not adds to it," Schuster said. "If you want to abolish your local ethics commission and go with a regional one, that's fine."
The push for a regional commission grew from an ethics complaint in Montville. The town council, which by charter serves as the town's ethics commission, considered the complaint and later found no probable cause in a complaint one councilor filed against the council chairwoman.
The process led Councilor Dana McFee, who filed the complaint, to argue that the current system leads to conflicts of interest when the council is required to investigate one of its own.
New London's Board of Ethics was questioned last year by Reid Burdick, a former city councilor, who argued that the board had a conflict of interest when it dealt with a complaint police Chief Margaret Ackley filed against then-City Councilor Michael Buscetto III.
Burdick argued that members of the Board of Ethics had either supported or opposed Buscetto in his run for mayor and as a result had a conflict in deciding the matter. Ackley eventually dropped her complaint.
Butler underscored two major differences with the new commission when compared with past proposals: Town participation will not be mandatory, and mayors or first selectmen will not be allowed to sit on the commission. The council is expected to accept nominations for members.

Night eating syndrome is a condition that is characterized by two main features: excessive eating in the evening (hyperphagia) and nocturnal awakening with ingestion of food. Its prevalence has been estimated to be 1.5% in the general population and 8.9% in an obesity clinic.
"This is the first study that looks at the connection between psychiatric conditions and night eating syndrome," said Jennifer D. Lundgren, PhD, lead author of the paper and postdoctoral research associate in Penn's Department of Psychiatry, Division of Weight and Eating Disorders. "Night eating syndrome is often associated with life stress and depression, so we were particularly interested in looking at the prevalence of the condition in this population," said Lundgren.
The research was supported by the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease.
Study Protocol
The study consisted of 399 participants from psychiatric outpatient clinics. Participants were screened using a questionnaire to assess hunger and craving patterns, percentage of calories consumed following the evening meal, insomnia and awakenings, nocturnal food cravings and ingestions, and mood. Those who scored above cutoff on the questionnaire were then interviewed by phone and diagnosed with night eating syndrome if one or both of the following criteria were met: 1) evening hyperphagia and/or 2) nocturnal awakenings with ingestions of food occurring three or more times per week.
Based on the total group of 399 participants, the prevalence of night eating syndrome was 12.3%, which exceeds the prevalence of the condition in an obesity clinic.
The study revealed a significant effect of night eating syndrome diagnosis on body mass index (subjects with night eating syndrome: mean = 33.1kg/m2; subjects without night eating syndrome: mean = 27.7 kg/m2). Additionally, obesity was present in 57.1% of participants with night eating syndrome and obese patients with psychiatric conditions were 5 times more likely than non-obese patients to exhibit the condition.
Substance abuse was also more likely to occur among patients with night eating syndrome (30.6%) than among those without night eating syndrome (8.3%). It was reported that alcohol was the most commonly abused substance.
"Given the prevalence of night eating syndrome among outpatients with psychiatric conditions, our findings indicate that mental health practitioners will need to screen for and incorporate appropriate treatment options into their practice," said John P. O'Reardon, MD, a co-author of the study, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Penn, and Director of Penn's Treatment Resistant Depression Clinic. Recent studies have found the antidepressant setraline (Zoloft®) to significantly improve symptoms of night eating syndrome, including nocturnal ingestion and evening hyperphagia.

If current trends continue corn and soybean acreage will probably remain fairly stable, cotton acreage will trend down slightly and peanuts and tobacco will be up and down only slightly, says Rich Pottorff, an economist working with Doan Advisory Services.
Pottorff says, "2008 was an amazing year for agriculture. In my 30-plus years in the business, I have never seen such volatility."
Despite cash price fluctuations of between $4.50 and $7.50 per bushel and correspondingly high prices for fertilizer, diesel fuel and seed, U.S. corn farmers should have done well in 2008. With an expected increase in demand of over 30 percent from 2008 to 2009 for corn for ethanol, this coming year should be even better.
Pottorff says that even ethanol at $1.60 a gallon and corn at $3.50 per bushel results in a profit margin of 14 cents a gallon for ethanol plants. The 178 ethanol plants currently in production and 26 more plants either under construction or being expanded can produce the expected 13 billion gallon per year capacity by 2010 projected by alternative fuel advocates.
The U.S. has a competitive edge in corn production, but not in soybeans and wheat. Though the demand for corn for use in ethanol production is not a significant factor worldwide, global demand for exports of U.S. grown corn remains high.
To meet this growing demand in 2009, U.S. growers will likely have to plant 89 million acres — up three million acres from 2008. Some of this extra acreage may come from land coming out the Federal CRP program, though early release of CRP acres is not expected by the USDA.
"If U.S. corn growers plant an expected 86 million acres of corn and harvest the projected 12 billion tons, we would still fall short of U.S. demand for 12.3 billion tons," according to Pottorff. If this happens stocks will continue to decline and demand will continue strong — all pointing to a good price year for corn in 2009.
He points out that nearly 60 percent of corn production costs are in diesel fuel and fertilizer. If these inputs continue to trend downward, he says, the U.S. may come close to planting the needed 89 million acres of corn in 2009.
"The demand for more corn is not likely to come from soybean acreage, especially in the Southeast where many farmers have been burned the past two years by low production, high input costs and fluctuating corn prices. U.S. demand for soybeans has been consistent at somewhere around three billion bushels," Pottorff says. Last year U.S. growers produced 2.9 billion bushels on 76 million acres.
Factoring in lower yielding double-crop beans in the Southeast and Southwest may mean a few more acres, but probably not significantly more beans. "We probably don't need to increase soybean acreage much beyond 76 million acres in the short-term," Pottorff contends.
Wheat has been the most volatile of U.S. grown grain crops. Many growers rushed to get into wheat production to take advantage of huge jumps in market prices, created primarily by big money speculators who drove the price up. Once these speculators got out of the market, wheat prices plummeted, leaving many U.S. farmers with high input, low value grain.
On a global basis grain production has been on a downward spiral in seven of the past nine years — 2008 being one of the exceptions. Worldwide production of all grain crops was up about five percent above projections. Had that not happened volatility in all grain markets would have been even bigger, especially for wheat. Had wheat production been average in 2008:
Foreign wheat production would have been 25 million tons lower.
The foreign wheat deficit would have been 36 million metric tons instead of 11 million metric tons.
U.S. exports of 1.3 billion bushels or more would have been needed.
World wheat stocks would have gone down instead of up.
Foreign coarse grain production would also have been 25 million tons lower.
Had corn production worldwide been at 10-year trend levels world stock-to-use ratio would have dropped to 0.11 percent. With the above average corn yield in 2008, U.S. corn exports reached record high levels, despite heightened demand for corn for ethanol.
"The bottom line is U.S. corn growers need to produce yields above the trend for 2009 and beyond," Pottorff says.
Grain as a whole has not kept up with demand on a worldwide basis, he stresses. Even with big crops globally stocks remain very tight. Corn stocks are down and wheat and rice are up and soybeans are flat.
Despite the damage done to commodity prices by global financial problems, Pottorff contends crops will be big in 2009. Even with expected high corn acreage for 2009, reduced stocks may mean higher prices over the winter, he says.
The Doane expert's outlook for cotton, especially for growers in the Southeast, is not so optimistic. Cotton acreage hit 15.3 million acres in 2006, but has fallen to 9.4 million acres in 2008 and may struggle to reach nine million acres in 2009, he says.
At some point cotton prices will respond dramatically to current prices of around 40 cents a pound, but probably not enough to create a demand for new acres nor to prevent a loss of current acres. "Cotton has changed dramatically and acreage will likely stay smaller," Pottorff says.
"Finding more acres worldwide will be a challenge in grain production. The answer is more likely in increased production, which will generate unprecedented demand for fertilizer, seed, and diesel fuel worldwide," he says.
Despite the challenges, Pottorff says the future for U.S. grain production looks very good for the next several years.

Score: Are sales lead generation services worth it?
By SCORE
Special to the Union Leader
Q: I've been approached by a lead generation service. Do they really work, and if not, what other means of generating leads can you suggest?
Every new sale begins with a lead. So if you're trying to grow your small business, it makes sense to generate as many prospects as possible, right?
Not always. Obviously, you don't want to limit your opportunities. And there are plenty of services that will, for a fee, provide sales leads. But taking care to learn as much as you can about each potential contact can help you better separate promising prospects from dead ends, resulting in a more focused sales effort.
When using a lead generation service, Jeanne Rossomme, founder and president of Washington, D.C.-based Roadmap Marketing, suggests focusing on narrow, targeted prospect definitions rather than large, sweeping markets.
"You will save money and your time in chasing prospects where you do not have a compelling advantage," Rossomme says. And before going all out with your sales contacts, verify that the leads are, in fact, good.
"Take advantage of free trials and test the leads by phone or email to make sure the contacts are accurate and not 'stale,'" Rossomme says.
Also remember that the best sales prospects may be closer than you think.
"Your warmest leads are those that know you or are referred by a trusted source," Rossomme says. "LinkedIn is a fantastic free source for building your network, and seeing where you can easily get introductions. It is also a wealth of detailed information about company structure, issues and needs."
You can make the most of each sales lead by using the opportunity to learn about your market. Invite recipients to send feedback to your company about their current and future needs, and whether they'll be interested in learning more about your product or service. This information will help you tweak your sales approach and product/service to the needs of your potential customers.
One information-gathering option is to do a quick, Web-based survey using systems such as SurveyMonkey and Zoomerang. Be sure to craft the process and questions from the recipient's point of view. Nobody likes to take time out to complete a cumbersome survey. Also, make sure your email message is as personalized as possible. An incorrectly spelled name or outdated title is a sure invitation to press the "Delete" key.
Don't look at leads as either/or outcomes. If you contacted someone who sounded interested in your product/service but wasn't ready to buy, follow up periodically with a call, email or a brochure. Do not add them to an email newsletter or promotion unless they specifically request it. As you cultivate this relationship, ask if and how their needs have changed. There may well be an unrealized opportunity for you to step right in and turn the prospect into another satisfied customer.

There's a change in the zeitgeist when it comes to online gambling, and at the forefront of that change is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Sure, he recently vetoed a bill that would allow gambling over the Internet in the state of New Jersey. But he did add that he would sign into law a new bill allowing the activity as long as certain amendments were made. Those amendments include, not surprisingly, a higher tax rate on online gaming revenues, which would give more revenue to the state.
Here's the money quote from Gov. Christie on the issue: "Now is the time for our state to move forward, again leading the way for the nation, by becoming one of the first states to permit Internet gaming."
If New Jersey allows online gambling, it will join Delaware and Nevada as one of three states to do so. More importantly, the New Jersey stamp of approval is likely to lead to more states getting the go-ahead to permit citizens to wager their money via the Internet.
This push to legalize online gambling hasn't gone unnoticed by Wall Street. In fact, gaming stocks saw a huge spike recently on the prospects of serving a greater number of online betters.
One company spearheading the online gaming push is Boyd Gaming (NYSE:BYD), owners and operators of the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City. The Borgata already has taken steps to test-drive the online gaming technology: offering guests the ability to place bets with their television remote controls. The hotel's in-room video poker and slot gaming system is seen to provide data and expertise on how New Jersey lawmakers could structure rules that allow them to track online gaming practices.
Over the past two weeks, BYD shares have been on a rollercoaster. The stock climbed double-digits over the course of last week but — thanks to a Goldman Sachs downgrade — shares have come under heavy selling pressure this week, losing most of those gains. In a note to clients accompanying the BYD "Sell" rating, analysts Steven Kent and Afua Ahwoi wrote that Boyd is susceptible to competition because 77% of its business is in traditional, regional gaming markets.
Interestingly, the Goldman analysts also think that online gambling, "could ultimately be big," although they cautioned that "it could take longer than expected to roll out and will be very competitive, with high promotional activity, which in turn could lead to lower-than-expected margins."
Now, I don't doubt there will be growing pains associated with any online gaming plans, but that growth is, in my view, a long-term positive for BYD shares — and that's not the only gaming stock likely to benefit from another source of revenue.
Fellow Atlantic City casino operator Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR) is also poised to profit from online gaming, as it has the infrastructure in place (gaming license, physical casino, expertise) to hit the virtual ground running. The anticipation of such a future boom caused CZR shares to skyrocket.
As of last Thursday, Feb. 7, CZR shares were trading at just over $8.50. A day later, the shares had soared to a Feb. 8 closing value just under $14. That's a 64% spike in less than two trading sessions! Take a look:
Obviously, Wall Street liked the New Jersey news; the BYD and CZR price spikes prove it. But here again, these weren't the only winners in the space. Online gaming site Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA) has seen its shares soar nearly 24% since Feb. 4, and a big part of that is the widespread acceptance that online gambling is an idea whose time has come.
For investors who like to monitor these kinds of trends, BYD, CZR and ZNGA all should be on your watch list. Other gaming stocks likely to do well once this idea becomes reality are game-makers like Bally Technologies (NYSE:BYI), International Game Technology (NYSE:IGT) and SHFL Entertainment (NASDAQ:SHFL). All make the devices that make gambling possible, so each could do well no matter which casino operator attracts the most online gamblers.
I suspect that given the extremely challenged state budgets in New Jersey (and just about every state in the union), we will continue to see a push toward allowing online gaming as a way for government to acquire more spending cash. For investors, the fiscal challenges mean more gaming companies will be able to tap into a new source of strong revenue that will keep their bottom lines — as well as their stock prices — coming up aces.
As of this writing, Jim Woods held no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

50 students checked after Farmington school electrical odorBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
October 07. 2013 1:06PM
FARMINGTON – Firefighters from three towns checked about 50 elementary students as a precaution after an electrical issue with the sprinkler system caused a rise in carbon monoxide levels Monday morning.
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded around 10:15 a.m. after a fire alarm went off at Valley View Community School – which educates Farmington and Middleton students in pre-kindergarten through grade 3.
Fire chief Richard Fowler said the box alarm sounded due to an "electrical odor" in the sprinkler room. He said firefighters determined the issue occurred within the jockey pump, which supports the school's sprinkler system.
As a result of the incident, Fowler said firefighters detected elevated carbon monoxide levels — about 6 to 7 parts per million (ppm). He said 10 ppm is the usual threshhold for concern.
Fowler said the system was shut off, and firefighters from Farmington, Milton and New Durham checked out about 40 to 50 students and staff who were in affected classrooms and hallways.
"There should be no issues," Fowler said, adding no one was transported as a result.
Superintendent Steve Welford, who responded to the school, said everyone followed the existing evacuation plan and there were no issues.
The school was celebrating fire prevention day today. Welford said officials decided to postpone the festivities to allow students to get back to their studies.
"I think they had enough excitement seeing the (fire) trucks pull up," Welford said.
Welford said the district used an automated phone system to notify Farmington and Middleton parents with the facts and reassure everyone that normal activities resumed at the school.

Men's Eagles summer venues confirmed
BOULDER, Colo. – USA Rugby has confirmed the dates and locations for two of the Men's Eagles summer matches. The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., will host the Pacific Nations Cup match against Tonga on June 14, while the first Rugby World Cup Qualifier against Canada on August 17 will be held at Blackbaud Stadium in Charleston, S.C.
Just a week after the June 8 test match against Ireland in Houston, Texas, the Home Depot Center will be home to the Eagles' only match on U.S. soil of the Pacific Nations Cup. Tonga has taken the past two meetings against the Eagles – a 44-13 Churchill Cup win in 2011 and, more recently, a 22-13 victory last November in Wales.
Blackbaud Stadium, home field of USL PRO's Charleston Battery, previously hosted the Rugby World Cup Qualifier between the Eagles and Canada on July 4, 2009, a 12-6 Eagles win. It will not be the first time the Eagles see Canada this summer, as the Pacific Nations Cup meeting between the two in Canada is set for May 25. Read more here.

Oct. 6-12 marks the return of National Fire Prevention Week, an opportunity for Oregonians to learn how to keep themselves and their families safe from fire.
Fire Prevention Week activities in Hood River County involve children in public schools between the grades of kindergarten and 2nd being visited by firefighters. They are taught important life-saving principles of what to do in case of fire, according to Devon Wells, City of Hood River Fire Marhsal. Private schools in the county are also making a visit to the fire station to learn these same topics. Firefighters have gone to May Street, Pine Grove, Parkdale, and West Side Elementary Schools, and private schools visited the Hood River Fire Department, between Oct. 1-9.
Usually, the Hood River Fire Department hosts a "Public Education Week," according to Wells.
"This year the show went on the road," he said.
Each year, nearly 1,000 school children between kindergarten and second Grade are taught by the fire department. This year, 911 dispatchers have joined the effort to provide safety information to the youths.
Topics include the "ABCs of Fire Safety," and "Stop, Drop, and Roll," along with "Crawl Low in Smoke," and proper 911 use. Wells said the in-school visits did not change one important part of the education week: touring the ladder truck and squirting water.
Fire Prevention Week is observed each year throughout North America and Europe. It observes the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, which killed 250 people and destroyed a large part of the city on Oct. 9, 1871.
Governor John Kitzhaber has proclaimed Oct. 6-12 as Fire Prevention Week. Fire Prevention Week is an opportunity for Oregonians to learn how to keep themselves and their families safe from fire.
The theme for this year's campaign is "Team Up for Safety." The theme encourages families to recognize the role they play in keeping their home fire-safe by focusing on three key safety messages: installing and testing smoke alarms; practicing home escape plans; and hunting for home hazards.
According to data gathered by the Office of State Fire Marshal, the majority of structure fires occur in the home, and most of these fires are preventable. In 2001, there were 3,986 residential structure fires. These fires caused 32 deaths, 176 injuries with an estimated property loss of $64.7 million. The most common causes of residential fires are cooking, heating and careless smoking.
"Join with firefighters and emergency responders to team up for fire safety by ensuring your family is prepared to prevent or survive a fire," said State Fire Marshal Robert Garrison.
Garrison offers the following safety tips for preventing residential fires:
* Keep an eye on what's cooking and stay in the kitchen. Keep cooking surfaces clean and free of grease build-up. If you have a grease or pan fire, slide a lid onto the pan to smother the flames.
* Keep clothing, furnishings, drapes, newspapers and other things that can burn at least three feet away from portable heaters, fireplaces and woodstoves. Turn portable heaters off when you go to bed or leave home.
* Clean and inspect your chimney and woodstove at least once a year; twice a year if wood is your main source of heat. Place ashes outdoors in a covered metal container at least three feet away from anything that burns.
* Inspect electrical cords and plugs for fraying and cracking. Keep cords from under rugs. Replace any damaged cords. Avoid overloading circuits or using extension cords.
* If there are smokers in your home, make sure ashtrays are large and deep and won't tip over. Douse cigarette and cigar butts with water before discarding them. Keep matches and lighters up high and out of children's sight and reach.
* Install smoke alarms outside each sleeping area, on every level of your home and in each bedroom. Test smoke alarms monthly and vacuum the covers to remove dust and cobwebs. Never disconnect smoke alarms or remove batteries. Replace smoke alarms that are ten years old or older.
* Make a home escape plan and practice it twice a year with the whole family.
Free home safety checklists, which can help families conduct a thorough home inspection are available on the OSFM web site at www.sfm.state.or.us. Additionally, many Oregon fire departments are sponsoring special Fire Prevention Week activities in their communities.
Locally, the following organizations have donated time and money to the fire prevention program, according to Wells: 2nd Winds, Real Carbon, E&L Auto Parts, Coburn Electric, Gary Regalbuto, Full Sail Brewing Company, Herschner and Bell-Farell Company, Walter Wells and Sons, Cascade Central Credit, Don Nunamkaer, Columbia River Bank, Luhr-Jensen, Inc., Gorge Electric, Mt. Hood Railroad, Waste Connections, Hogg and Davis, Crazy Pepper, McIsaac's Store, Covenant Christian Counseling, Parkdale Grange, and the City of Hood River. For more information regarding Fire Prevention Week, or how to donate to the Prevention Week Fund, please contact Devon Wells, Fire Marshal for the Hood River Fire Department at 386-9458 ext 12 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's a beautiful Sunday, and has been a beautiful weekend through and through. Yesterday Art and I went with our daughter Jacquie and son-in-law Henry to Detroit for baby furniture at Ikea. Prior to going to this giant store we made a few side stops for the fun of it and to fill our tummies.
Art and I watch a show on Saturdays called Under the Radar Michigan on PBS and in one episode they covered places to see in and around Detroit. One place was Motz's Burgers on Fort Street. This is one of the oldest sliders restaurants in the country and did it ever live up to its reputation as the best! They serve more than sliders and it is so worth the trip. According to our group it was in a "bad area," but everyone we encountered was nice and the food was great.
Across the street was an enormous produce distribution plant. It was crazy big, as in one building was as big as our entire downtown area. With the lineup of semi-trucks and panel trucks it must have an amazing amount of produce inside. Just thinking of the growers behind all that produce made me smile. Think of the trip each head of lettuce has taken and the trip it still has until someone eats it. For being in a forlorn section of Detroit, the building did not look unclean and it had some lovely art deco stonework on the front. Eating sliders and thinking of gardening—can it get better?
We also visited a little place in Farmington Hills called Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. It was awesome, also—one man's collection of arcade and whimsical animated figures and machines. They included old arcade flip book picture machines, all kinds of arcade games from the 1800s forward and you could put in a quarter or two and see how they worked. It was a real trip back in time.
We then headed to Ikea and what a change. From old items that took lots of brain power to produce and make functional to the sparse commercialism of mass marketed items. Ikea has a gardening area and if you are in the market for some inexpensive, fairly good quality outdoor furniture or flower pots or things along that line, it is your go-to destination. I am not a big fan of mass production garden products. I like to repurpose or use artistic items. I stood in their garden area and thought, anyone could have a tidy neat little garden with this, but where would the individuality be?
I loved that my kids chose baby furniture that was not just in the baby section and had a bit of non-baby flare to it. The little fellow can grow with it, and with good care, take it with him when he heads off to his own place.
I spent some time last evening on the drive home thinking how yesterday's castoffs still have meaning and use. I have had the idea for a long time to make a bench for the outside of our church out of an old bed frame. We have an area that is hard to get anything to grow in because the heat is so extreme off the concrete and sandstone. So an ornate place to sit is just the ticket, with maybe a pot of flowers off to the side that can be replenished without breaking the bank. Since I have come up with this idea I have seen so many swings and benches made from old beds.
I searched on-line for more repurposing ideas and came up with some great sites that might interest some of you that read this column. Try eHowhome and type in making garden décor from recycled junk, or homeguides.sfgate.com/reusehouseholditems, thefrugalhomemaker.com and of course the Queen of all idea sites, Pinterest.
Gardening should be fun and while the muddy spring rains and thaws keep us from the dirt, spend some time looking for an idea you can use to pop your space.

Dec. 2, 2011
BOSTON — One day after Mass. Attorney General Martha Coakley filed a lawsuit against five major banks, she defended the decision to WGBH News' Jordan Weinstein.
Federal and state prosecutors from across the country have been negotiating a multi-billion dollar deal with the nation's leading banks for the past year. That's just too long, Coakley said.
"We just felt that after all this time the banks have not come to the table with an agreement and particularly not an agreement that we think would work for Mass. homeowners," she said on Dec. 2. Furthermore, "We've gotten signals that even if there were to be an agreement there would not be some of the things we thought were really important for Mass."
When asked whether the lawsuit would derail those national-level negotiations, Coakley said, "I don't see how that could happen."
The lawsuit claims that Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and GMAC violated Massachusetts law with "unlawful and deceptive" conduct in the foreclosure process, including unlawful foreclosures, false documentation, robo-signing, and deceptive practices related to loan modifications.
Coakley's office is seeking "recovery for homeowners that have suffered from the damage the banks have caused," she said.
On Dec. 2, GMAC announced it would stop purchasing new mortgage loans written by third parties in Massachusetts. GMAC will continue to lend directly to homeowners in Massachusetts. However, most of its business in the state is done through third parties such as community banks, which originate loans and sell them to GMAC.

Driving mostly refers to a controlled operation of a motor vehicle such as a car, bus, truck etc... Thousands of Driver vacancies in muzaffarabad Pakistan are available. Vehicles are required and used in every field in Pakistan. It is used in industries, agriculture for official or business persons, whereas it is also used in homes for personal use. Driving is a very responsible job and you need to drive very carefully according to the rules which are set by the authority. When you are driving on the road you need to drive carefully because you are responsible for not only your life, but of other peoples life who are on the road, your small mistake can cause an accident and result in financial, physical and life loss. Driving is also very interesting job as the drivers have the luxury that they travel in all sides of Pakistan, especially heavy vehicle drivers who are taking the carriage goods/product from one city to other travel for a very long time and distance. A normal person does not have the luxury of that much travelling and sight seeing and visiting the other cities as the driver does have.
Here we will discuss about different Driver positions in muzaffarabad Pakistan and their responsibilities and criteria to qualify which will help you to find the field of your interest.
When you get a job as a driver in any home you normally need to have an LTV license, driving experience is also required to get a job in home, but most importantly, you need to have a good refrence because normally you can only get a driving job in home if you have a strong refrence. Normally these driver openings are not published in any newspaper or any website and you come to know about these vacancies through your refrence. Education may not be compulsory here and even if you don't have any education that might be ok for this job. People prefer driver to whom they or someone in their social circle know.General duties at any home in Pakistan for a driver is that you may need to drop the children to their schools and elders to office, then you may be required to do household purchasing. At noon you need to pick the children from their schools and your duty might also include taking the females to visit some places or for shopping. In this job out city travelling may required occasionally, but not so often.
There are lots of driver are available in offices, every office, according to its business nature is in need of driver and vehicle to run the operations smoothly. The common responsibilities of a driver in offices in Pakistan are, that they need to keep the official vehicle operational and in running condition and if they found any issue in the vehicle timely report this to your supervisor and get the vehicle repaired as soon as possible to avoid any inconvenience.Drivers in offices also taking the officials to other offices for business meetings, surveys or other official requirements. In some offices the educated and aware drivers also perform the normal banking operations for their companies. They also assist the officer in purchasing of official goods as well. You need to have a good personality, HTV/LTV driving license, Minimum education and prior experience as a driver in any organization. Outstation travelling may require on a regular basis in this job depending upon the business nature of the organization.
If you know how to drive heavy/multi wheeler vehicle and you have HTV driving license, then you can get a job as a driver in any logistic or goods forwarding company. This job requires lots of travelling and you may get very few times on your home station and this job also have very long working hours as you need to drive the vehicle from one city to another and the running speed of these vehicles is not fast like a car so it will take double time then a car to travel from one city to another. Depending upon the company size and preference they might not require educated drivers to drive their vehicles. In this job your duty is to take the goods which your company booked for other cities of Pakistan or your company receive orders from other cities and your duty is to get your vehicle uploaded from the warehouse or store of the company and deliver the goods to the customer's place.
You can get a driving job in agriculture sector if you have HTV driving license and can drive heavy vehicles. In Pakistan you may even get a job as a driver even without having driving license. This job may be seasonal, you may need to drive tractors to harvest the fields at the start of the harvesting field, then you need to do pesticides spray in the fields during the corps. Again, you can get a driving job in corping season, and you drive the vehicles or machines for corping the crop. Other then driving the tractor for harvesting the filed or machines for corping the crops, you need to drive the loader vehicles to take the corps to the markets for sale and you will also be used by your boss/owner of the fields to purchase the pesticide sprays or other related materials.
Driving is very professional work and you need to pay full attention to your work during driving, and you also need to obey the traffic rules. The problem in Pakistan is that drivers do not follow the traffic rules and because of this there are accidents which ends in financial/physical/or in extreme conditions loss of lifes as well. If you are willing to do driver job in muzaffarabad you should be aware off the traffic rules and follow them to become a good driver and a responsible citizen of the country.

Spotiseek has been growing steadily since it first saw daylight in late 2009. As the smartphones – in particular the iPhone and Android – are growing rapidly, I figured it might be time for Spotiseek to take the step in to the mobile world as well. I keep finding myself sitting on the bus, looking to find new music for Spotify. This is why I've developed Spotiseek for iPhone; an easy-to-use app that gives you suggestions on new Spotify music.
Key features in Spotiseek for iPhone
The iPhone app has got the main features of the regular Spotiseek web application:
- Discover new music similar to that of your favourite artists or what others like
- Play tracks and show artists or albums in the Spotify app
- Spotiseek keeps track of what music you like and don't like
The app differs slightly from the web application:
- Tracks are played one at a time: discover a track, listen to it and return to Spotiseek for more goodies.
- Learn the iPhone app what kind of music you want: once you've played a track, it won't show up again. And if you don't like a particular artist (or have already discovered it before), you can just hide the artist from future searches.

Flipped classrooms. Have you heard of them? They're not just about Khan Academy videos or doing homework during school and learning after school, they're more than that.
What are they?
eSchool News explains, "Flipped class practitioners create a learning environment in which student work can be completed in class. This requires a change in the way a class (or school) is structured. Flipped classrooms may look more like "learning centers" where students are working on different tasks at the same time."
MindShift shares an Infographic that states, "Educational technology and activity learning are two key components" of a flipped classroom.
Is it better?
Case studies show good results. AP Calcus teacher, Stacey Roshan , saw better test scores when she flipped her classroom. Cash-strapped Byron High School in MN used the flipped classrooms out of necessity and saw huge results. The high school didn't have money for new math textbooks so the teachers wrote their own curriculum, which flipped the classrooms. Their math test scores went from 29% to 73% in five years. Clintondale High, near Detroit, also found that the flipped classroom made a dramatic difference in learning and failure rate.
Plus, education research shows that the experiential model in a flipped classroom is the way children learn best.
Critics are concerned about the emphasis on technology and that it will leave out low-income students. But, advocates say that it's not all about videos, it's about using classroom time to help learners 1:1, in small groups, and with activities and the home learning isn't only videos.
