Beginning in May, approximately 60 million people will discover some new information in their 401(k) statements. Not only will they find out whether they made or lost money, for the first time, many will see how much they paid in plan fees and expenses.
Of course, plan sponsors not only have to comply with the new regulations and meet their fiduciary responsibilities, but they also have to justify the plan's administrative costs to participants, who have been resorting to class action lawsuits after enduring more than a decade of lackluster returns.
"Plan sponsors may face a tsunami of anger and questions from participants unless they get out in front of this change," says Kyle Pifher, principal, retirement plan services for Findley Davies. "Otherwise, some participants may be shocked to discover how much they're paying in plan fees."
Smart Business spoke with Pifher about the impact of the new disclosure regulations and why plan sponsors need to take proactive steps to address employee concerns.
What are the new mandates?
There are two critical components in the new regulations. First, beginning in April 2012, third party providers and recordkeepers must disclose a detailed summary of all fees and charges that exceed $1,000 to plan sponsors as mandated by 408(b)(2). Then starting May 31, individual participants will see their portion of those fees on their plan statements as mandated by ERISA Section 404(a)(5).
Why did the DOL propose new regulations?
The need for greater transparency became apparent following the market correction in 2008, when participants openly questioned fees as their account balances plummeted. Essentially, there was no consistency in the way fees were assessed or disclosed, making it difficult for plan sponsors to uphold their fiduciary responsibilities, which include prudent selection of service providers, monitoring fees and ensuring that reasonable compensation is paid for services to maintain the plan. In other words, the DOL is simply responding to the long-standing need to disclose a detailed break-out of fees and expenses that were often consolidated into a single charge or hidden in the fine print.
How do the changes shift or alter the duties and responsibilities of plan sponsors?
The fiduciary responsibilities of plan sponsors are essentially the same, but the new laws and detailed fee disclosures will certainly illuminate their rigor and performance. For example, participants may wonder whether the fees are reasonable given the plan's risk and returns, since fiduciaries have an obligation to act prudently and solely in the interest of participants by monitoring plan fees and ensuring that the charges aren't excessive. So, sponsors will need to show how they benchmark third party fees and be prepared to explain their selection and oversight methodology. Participants may also question their investment choices.
What are the benefits for plan sponsors and the possible drawbacks or unintended consequences?
Certainly the increased transparency will help sponsors benchmark and compare fees across companies and industries and negotiate every charge, which could ultimately lower the total cost of the plan. The good news is that the fee disclosures may encourage participants to read their statements and manage their investments, because optimizing retirement plan returns benefits everyone in the organization. On the negative side, this could create animosity toward the employer if fees have not been disclosed and employees feel as if they have been left in the dark. And we're seeing more class action lawsuits from disenchanted participants, who are protected by the prudent man rule, which states that trustees must manage another's money using skill and care.
How are companies using this new information to assess service provider fees?
We're seeing more companies engage an outside consultant to conduct plan reviews and side-by-side fee comparisons along with a greater desire to benchmark current fees against industry standards. As a result, more companies are soliciting bids and changing providers, especially if they feel that plan providers aren't charging reasonable fees or delivering value.
How can plan sponsors head off problems before they occur?
Follow these steps to head off problems before they occur.
- Review third party fees and expenses: Know where you stand before participants receive their May or June statements, so you can anticipate their concerns and negotiate fee reductions or even change providers. It's also prudent to review your plan's investment choices to see if they are aligned with your employees' risk tolerance and desired rate of return based upon the current needs and demographics of your employee population.
- Communicate transparently and proactively: Fully disclose all service fees using language and terms that resonate with your employee base. Describe the services they provide and how your current fees compare to those charged by other providers.
- Provide education: Offer educational meetings, brochures and call center support, so employees understand the role of plan providers and how they develop their fees. In fact, this is the perfect time to review retirement plan fundamentals and the current investment options; because your 401(k) isn't a benefit unless it actually helps your employees meet their retirement goals.

Hello Wiserline Mare-Silverus, greetings and welcome to the Narutopedia! Thanks for your edit to the User:Wiserline Mare-Silverus page.
We do hope that you will stay for a long time. Enjoy your stay as we work to become the best Naruto info site out there. BELIEVE IT!
If you're looking for something to do why not look over the Forums or more specifically Narutopedia Collaboration for a list of projects we're working on. And the Community portal has a lot of recent discussions and places to go listed on it.
Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- TheUltimate3 (Talk) 20:44, 20 June 2009
- Dont think thats gonna stop....y dont u provide a source....to prove it..it looks like u'r guessing, or adding u'r own conclusion...a collabaration jutsu is done between two or more ninjutsu users, Naruto using the shadow clone still make it 1 person, anyway, The Ultimate3 asked Shounsuki to check it out, till then, stop adding it..AlienGamer | Talk 20:49, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Re: Collaboration jutsu
I'm not denying that it showed up in the filler arc. I'm arguing that a lot on that page either has little to do with it, or are just grasping at straws. Things like the Sound Four's jutsu can't be known to be a collaboration jutsu just because it has four people doing it. It is completely possible that it only needs one to make it work, we don't know.
TL;DR: A lot on that page simply looks like "Ok there is a new concept, now let me apply it to everything.". It doesn't work like that.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:23, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Edit summaries
I realize that many your edits have the unfortunate habit of being reverted, but please start using edit summaries and/or talk pages. Repeatedly making the same edit without an explanation does not encourage people to agree with you. ~SnapperTo 17:49, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
If you please
If you want to bring up a discussion about the Abilities section in Naruto's page, do so in the Talk Page Edit Warring solves nothing.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 17:50, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Seriously I just want to know now
In most of your edits, most of which I don't have to remind you get reverted, you add a large amount of information. A large amount, the 1k increase in the Shinobi page is an example of this. So I want to ask you now, where are you getting this information? Is it written down, is it in a databook somewhere, are you finding it online or are you just coming up with it off the top of your head.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 15:13, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
It was something I first noiced during the Eight-Tails arc, Killerbee discribed Karin as a 'Sensor' type. Later during the Fire Temple arc, Asuma discribed Naruto and Sora as 'Power' types. He also described Tamari as a strategist just like Shikamaru. During the on-going Five Kage Summit arc the main characters are asked about Sasuke's techniques and his fighting style. Throughout the series, you see ninja that fall under certin catagories of fighting styles, thats what I'm referring to by discribing these 'Ninja Types'.
--Wiserline Mare-Silverus 16:22, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- I see, I see. The problem is however, that "ninja types" as far as I can gather isn't a real type. Just a ninja specializing in one field over an other, which we've known forever. Until something comes up that specifically states that there are ninja types then it shouldn't be added.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 15:31, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- Do u evr read edit summaries, or bother to take up an issue in a talkpage and get the general conceous of the rest of the community....Just letting u know, editors will keep revertin it, unless u start to use a talkpage, or at the very least gave an edit summary...--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 15:34, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Uh, what is this kenjutsu you are refering to on zabuza's page. Simant (talk) 16:49, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
Naruto Databook
Could you please stop adding/changing info in the sections According to the naruto databook, stuff that happens in the anime, is not according to the databook. You should note that commas, periods, colons, semicolons, colons, and exclamation marks all require that the quotation marks to be closed to the right. Simant (talk) 19:59, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
Could you please stop adding who is the oldest, youngest, or whatever of certain teams? Unless you have a way to prove it, it is baseless speculation. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 21:59, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
- Do you know what year they were born in? Because if you do not, it is impossible to tell who is older and who is younger --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 18:33, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe I should explain myself. I feel I was a little curt.
- I'll show you why your reasoning isn't necessarily correct, using an example. Let's take everyone who is the same age as Naruto, listed in order of birthday:
- Gaara (19th January)
- Shino (23rd January)
- Suigetsu (18th February)
- Sakura (28th March)
- Chōji (1st May)
- Karin (20th June)
- Kiba (7th July)
- Sasuke (23rd July)
- Shikamaru (22nd September)
- Ino (23rd September)
- Naruto (10th October)
- Hinata (27th December)
- If you take this list as it is, you would assume Gaara is the oldest and Hinata the youngest. However, this isn't necessarily the case.
- All these characters were twelve at the time of first databook. This databook was up-to-date to the third chūnin exam, which was about a month after the first chūnin exam, which was on 1st July. So let's assume the first databook is accurate to 10th August. To have all the characters 12 at this date, Shikamaru, Ino, Naruto, and Hinata have to be born in the year before the rest. This would make Shikamaru the oldest and Sasuke the youngest. Ergo, your assumption isn't necessarily correct.
- All this is assuming they were actually 12 at the time of the databook. If those ages were merely a generalisation, it could change the order even more.
- In this case, we could estimate their relative ages by taking the beginning of the school year in Japan, which is in the beginning of April. Assuming a beginning of 1st April, Chōji would become the oldest and Sakura the youngest. Again, I have proven my point. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 21:29, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
- I already explained above why your reasoning is faulty. You're assuming they were all born in the same year, which might simply not be the case.
- If we take the first databook example I gave above, then the team make-up is thus:
- Team Kakashi 1.0:
- Naruto Uzumaki - born 10th October, year 1 - oldest
- Sakura Haruno - born 28th March, year 2 - middle
- Sasuke Uchiha - born 23rd July, year 2 - youngest
- Team Kakashi 2.0:
- Sai - born 25th November, year 0 - oldest
- Naruto Uzumaki - born 10th October, year 1 - middle
- Sakura Haruno - born 28th March, year 2 - youngest
- Team Guy:
- Rock Lee - born 27th November, year 0 - oldest
- Tenten - born 9th March, year 1 - middle
- Neji Hyūga - born 3rd July, year 1 - youngest
- Team Kurenai:
- Hinata Hyūga - born 27th November, year 1 - oldest
- Shino Aburame - born 23rd January, year 2 - middle
- Kiba Inuzuka - born 7th July, year 2 - youngest
- Team Asuma:
- Shikamaru Nara - born 22nd September, year 1 - oldest
- Ino Yamanaka - born 23rd September, year 1 - middle
- Chōji Akimichi - born 1st May, year 2 - youngest
- Team Kakashi 1.0:
- If we take the school year example I gave above, then the team make-up is thus:
- Team Kakashi 1.0:
- Sasuke Uchiha - born 23rd July, year 1 - oldest
- Naruto Uzumaki - born 10th October, year 1 - middle
- Sakura Haruno - born 28th March, year 2 - youngest
- Team Kakashi 2.0:
- Sai - born 25th November, year 0 - oldest
- Naruto Uzumaki - born 10th October, year 1 - middle
- Sakura Haruno - born 28th March, year 2 - youngest
- Team Guy:
- Neji Hyūga - born 3rd July, year 0 - oldest
- Rock Lee - born 27th November, year 0 - middle
- Tenten - born 9th March, year 1 - youngest
- Team Kurenai:
- Kiba Inuzuka - born 7th July, year - oldest
- Hinata Hyūga - born 27th November, year 1 - middle
- Shino Aburame - born 23rd January, year 2 - youngest
- Team Asuma:
- Chōji Akimichi - born 1st May, year 1 - oldest
- Shikamaru Nara - born 22nd September, year 1 - middle
- Ino Yamanaka - born 23rd September, year 1 - youngest
- Team Kakashi 1.0:
- So as you should be able to see, we cannot make any definite statements on their ages unless we know the years they were born in. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 18:33, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
Yamanaka techniques
Wiserline, the Yamanaka's techniques are not hiden jutsu. Stop adding that they are. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 19:58, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
Final warning
Wiserline Mare-Silverus, I am hereby giving you an official final warning. Stop mass-editing in false information, like adding the hiden jutsu classification to the Yamanaka and Inuzuka techniques, or adding who is the oldest or youngest of their team. You've been here a long time, you should know better.
I'm certain you could be a great help to the wiki and a respectable editor, but the other editors and I re sick and tired of constantly having to revert your edits. Please, act like a proper editor who wants to improve the wiki, or face a ban. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 22:52, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

'Rush to judgment': Family demands justice after officer kills black man at Alabama mall
Protesters on Saturday marched through an Alabama shopping mall where police killed a black man they later acknowledged was not the triggerman in a Thanksgiving night shooting that wounded two people. (Nov. 24) AP
The family of a black man killed by a police officer after a shooting at an Alabama mall packed with holiday shoppers demanded justice for the young man they said was killed "for no reason at all."
Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr., 21, was fatally shot Thanksgiving night by a Hoover police officer at the Riverchase Galleria, a sprawling, two-story shopping mall 10 miles south of Birmingham.
Hoover police acknowledged that Bradford "likely didn't fire the rounds" that wounded an 18-year-old man and a 12-year-old girl moments before Bradford was killed. The teens were hospitalized in stable condition.
"It hurt me to the core," Bradford's father, Emantic Bradford Sr., said at a news conference Sunday. "They vilified my son like he was straight criminal."
The family hired Florida civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump to clear their son's name. Crump said Bradford was trying to calm the situation when the officer, whose name had not been released, "rushed to judgment" and killed him.
"He saw a black man with a gun, and he made his determination that he must be a criminal," Crump said. "They concluded their investigation while E.J. was on the mall floor, bleeding out, dying."
Crump demanded that police release video from the scene. He said it would tell the "whole story."
The family said they found out about the shooting via social media and police never notified them or apologized.
"They killed him for no reason at all," said Bradford's aunt, Catherine Jewell. "They did him wrong."

More: Dallas officer who killed black man thought he was burglarizing her apartment
Scores of protesters marched through the mall Saturday, holding a moment of silence and chanting, "No justice, no peace."
"When we found out about this incident, there were questions from the jump," said Carlos Chaverst, an activist in Birmingham who organized the protest. "They killed an innocent black man."
Police initially issued a statement saying two men were engaged in the "physical altercation" when one drew a gun and shot the other, also wounding the girl standing nearby.
The statement said officers assigned to the mall responded to the shooting and encountered "a suspect brandishing a pistol and shot him." Bradford was pronounced dead at the scene.
Later, police spokesman Gregg Rector issued an update.
"New evidence now suggests that while Mr. Bradford may have been involved in some aspect of the altercation, he did not fire the rounds," Rector said.
He said at least one gunman remained at large.
"We regret that our initial media release was not totally accurate, but new evidence indicates that it was not," the Hoover Police Department said in a statement. "Investigators now believe that more than two people were involved in the altercation."
Hours before the shootings, Bradford updated his profile picture on Facebook with a snapshot of himself wearing distressed denim jeans, black Jordan sneakers and a black screen printed T-shirt – the wardrobe he wore to the mall the night he died.
Video posted on Twitter shows chaos as crowds of shoppers flee the mall after the initial shots rang out.
One shopper, Lexi Joiner, told al.com she was with her mother when the gunfire erupted near J.C. Penney on the second floor. She said she heard six or seven shots and joined other nearby shoppers who ducked into a supply closet for cover.
"It was terrifying,'' Joiner said.
The case has been handed over to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. No arrests had been announced Sunday.
"They were so quick to rush to judgment," Bradford Sr. said of Hoover police. "I knew my son didn't do that. People rushed to judgment. They shouldn't have done that."

At first, David Chokachi '90 was understandably awed by working with his
co-stars on "Baywatch," the most-watched television program in the world.
"In the beginning it was intimidating," he said recently. "But after about two weeks, you realize everybody's human, and everybody puts their pants on the same way."
Not that the stars on "Baywatch" are putting pants on that much. The syndicated show, portraying the lives and loves of a small group of Southern California lifeguards, derives at least some of its amazing world-wide popularity from its insistent aversion to clothes.
"Baywatch" is also the latest pop culture fad to feed into the escapist, sun-and-fun image of the Southern California beach culture, first cultivated by the Beach Boys more than three decades ago.
Today, "Baywatch" perpetuates that Southern California dreamin' lifestyle. The phenomenon is undeniable: each week, more than a billion viewers worldwide tune in. "Watching the show is a great way to escape," says Chokachi of the show. "And that's a concept that translates pretty well around the world."
Chokachi is the newest addition to the buff Baywatch band, playing Cody Madison, a Pepperdine University swimmer and Olympic hopeful. To get the role, Chokachi had to beat out hundreds of other Cody wannabees. Some didn't get the job for a simple reason: they were afraid of the water. He says his athletic ability, honed partly at Bates as a letter-winning member of the football and lacrosse teams (his former coach, Web Harrison '63, remembers Chokachi as a "dedicated athlete") helped quite a bit.
"They like the energy I bring to the show, and the fact that I'm a good athlete has definitely paid off," he said. "I'm the only one -- except for Alexandra Paul [Lt. Stephanie Holden] -- who can actually do a lot [of the action stunts]."
Chokachi's journey from Bates (where he's remembered as David Al-Chokhachy) to "Baywatch" has been rapid. After Bates, he worked briefly for Massachusetts Congressman Gerry Studds before returning to his hometown of Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Looking for work back home, he noticed a Boston Globe modeling ad seeking "good-looking guys with athletic bodies." Before long, Chokachi was modeling for the Ford Agency under the name David "Chokes" (a Bates nickname he shared with his brother, Robert '92) and doing ads for Reebok and L.L. Bean.
Did the Bates economics major have any qualms about entering a field where his physique would be valued over his liberal-arts trained mind?
"Bates gave me the confidence to take a chance," he says. "It gave me the awareness that there's a lot out there in the world. A liberal-arts education, where you get a bit of everything, enabled me to think, wow, I can try this."
Before long, that take-a-chance attitude landed Chokachi in Los Angeles, where commercial work for Sunny Delight, small roles in movies and rock videos, and print work kept him busy until his agent called about the "Baywatch" opening.
Nothing at Bates -- not its supportive, friendly community anyway -- prepared Chokachi for the LA scene. "If you're not working, it's you against everyone else," he says. "Before I got this part, I might audition fifteen times a week for a month straight and get nothing. It's definitely a dog-eat-dog world, and completely different from Bates. When you finish an audition, there's no one there to say, 'Hey, you did a great job, nice work.'"
But now, he's enjoying being part of a hit TV series. "Everyone from the crew to the producers (who include the show's star, David Hasselhoff) is so supportive. It's weird: You go through a stage of you against the world, then when you get a part, it seems you get that support team."
Filming for the 1995-1996 season began in June and concluded in October. The season opener -- in which Chokachi played a prominent part -- aired in late September.
When Chokachi signed his contract last spring, the producers only guaranteed him seven episodes this year. "Within those seven episodes, the producers would decide whether to pick me up. Well, they did, and I'm in fifteen of nineteen episodes this year, which is unheard of for a new person on the show."
This fall, Chokachi and his comely co-stars are traveling around the world to promote the show: London in October, then Australia and New Zealand. "They say when we travel it's ridiculous, you can't go anywhere without five security guards. They'll maul you," he says.
Chokachi is definitely enjoying himself. He keeps in touch with his Bates friends -- classmates like Robert Whitley, Jeff Bochenek, Joe Sylvester, David Smith -- and tries to maintain his perspective working on the world's most popular television show.
"It's just a job," he says, adding, "a job that a lot of people watch you do."

Your vehicle's battery is responsible for the charge that's required to power your car. Without a battery hooked up, your car would be immovable, so it's crucial to properly maintain your vehicle and its battery to ensure that everything is working.
There are several scenarios that can result in battery issues, so finding expert service you can rely on around the Dallas, Mountain Top, and Clarks Summit areas is imperative to your car's well-being.
How to Jump a Car Battery

How Often Should I Get My Battery Checked?
There are plenty of issues that can occur with your battery since it's so crucial to your car's ability to perform. Batteries can last up to four years before they start losing their power. However, it's always a wise move to get your battery checked twice a year to make sure that everything's in working order and functioning properly.
Are There Signs That Tell Me I Should Get My Battery Repaired?
There's plenty of ways to tell if your battery starting to go. The vehicle might have some problems getting started. You may even notice that your headlights aren't as bright as usual. Your vehicle may not even start, depending on the battery condition and even the temperature since extreme heat or frigid weather can greatly affect your battery.

What to Look for If Your Battery Needs Replacing
It's always a good idea to periodically check on the state of your vehicle's battery. There's several signs that are warning you your car battery isn't in the best condition and it may be on its way out. You just have to know what to look for.
During the sweltering heat of summer or the biting cold of winter, you may see that the battery's exterior is beginning to bulge. There are other signs that can tell you that you may want to consider having your battery checked, one of which is smell. When a battery is starting to go, it gives off a light putrid smell that may remind you of hard boiled eggs.
That rancid stench may be emanating from your vehicle's battery, and the real culprit is the battery's acid. If you notice this, act quickly and schedule your service. The acid could eventually eat away at important connections, hoses, or expensive vehicle components.
If you've checked your vehicle's battery and came across any of these signs, you should immediately schedule your battery repair or replacement at Audi Wyoming Valley . We're here to help drivers in the Dallas, Mountain Top, and Clarks Summit areas with their automotive service needs.

Kendrick Lamar's cover art may have taken fans by surprise, but of course, there was meaning behind his choice. Read below to find out why he went with that art.
Kendrick Lamar revealed the cover art for his highly anticipated debut, good kid, m.A.A.d city recently. The creative cover art featuring a childhood photo of Kendrick Lamar, with the deluxe edition featuring an old van in a suburban neighborhood.
In an interview with Fuse Kendrick explained why he chose to go with this for the art, as well as explaining where the inspiration for his album came from.
He says of his Aftermath debut, "It's really just like a self-portrait. I feel like I needed to make this album to move on with my life. I had them old negative vibes and demons haunting me, and it's that real." Kendrick continued, "It had to come from somewhere, had to come from a place, it coulda been negative and it coulda been positive, but for the majority part of it, it was a negative place." He says recording the album helped him move on, "It was a venting process, to tell these stories I never told."
Kendrick explains the photo as follows, "Two [of the men] are my uncles, to the far right, it's my grandpa, and a baby bottle, next to a 40 oz, next to a gang sign, holdin' a kid," K.Dot says of his cover art. "If you look in the background, you see a picture on the wall, and the picture is me and my pops," Kendrick added. "And the eyes blacked out, that's for my own personal reasons, you'll probably hear about that on the album. That photo says so much about my life, and about how I was raised in Compton, and the things I've seen, just through them innocent eyes. You don't see nobody else's eyes, but you see my eyes are innocent, and tryna figure out what is goin' on."
The LP is slated for release on October 22nd. Watch the interview with Fuse below.

No real races this weekend, just our normal club run, which was a very tough course (like you have to walk part of it, it's that tough), happy with the time I got, didn't push myself as I'm saving my energy for next week's half marathon.
Oh, I wish I were a runner. I really do. I know it's not hard, but it is for meeeeeeee. You are an inspiration though, lady! Way to go winning that race :)ReplyDelete

Hi, Susan! I walked/ran a 5K on July 6. It was my second one ever - and the first one without children accompanying me! It is awesome to see how much you love running, and I am trying to start because I need to get in shape and I want that peaceful, me-time, too. I'm thinking about signing up for a half-marathon in September, but not sure if I have the guts to do it!ReplyDelete

Catchment Area
Program Overview
The Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Clinic where DVBIC operates is the sole Air Force-based TBI facility. It was started in a room at the hospital in 2009, staffed by one physician and a nurse. The clinic has since grown to a staff of 14. In February 2012, the clinic moved into a new outpatient wing of the hospital. The new clinic facility was designed to provide a quiet, low-stimulation environment for TBI patients. It contains state-of-the-art diagnostic and rehabilitative equipment, including one of only two clinical driving simulators in Alaska.
The mTBI Clinic works closely with other hospital departments to provide diagnostic services and care to a population of more than 12,000 active-duty service members, in addition to dependents and retirees. In 2015, the clinic treated 235 new patients. Currently, an average of 20 new patients per month receive diagnostic services at the clinic. Approximately 20 percent of those patients consequently receive care directly from clinic providers.
Services provided directly by the clinic include medical evaluation by a physician or nurse practitioner, nurse case management, pain management, speech therapy, occupational therapy, acupuncture, behavioral health counseling and education.
At the JBER mTBI Clinic, the patient is our mission. Our patients' physical, psychological, occupational and social well-being is our highest priority. Traditional medical therapies such as medication management, occupational therapy, speech therapy and psychotherapy are complemented with acupuncture, restorative yoga, massage chairs and educational consultation for a holistic approach. Our dedicated medical providers and administrative and support staff work cooperatively to maintain an encouraging, healing environment, with the ultimate goal of returning the service member to maximum personal and professional function.
The DVBIC regional education coordinator provides service members, veterans, family members, health care providers and community members with the latest information about TBI.
Education and outreach activities include:
- Awareness briefs to commanders and line leaders, Family Resource Groups, active-duty service members, veterans special interest groups, and medical providers
- TBI Basics for chaplains and other ancillary and support personnel
- Social media and other public TBI awareness campaigns
- An education class for newly diagnosed mTBI service members
- One-on-one education consultations with patients and spouses
- Facilitating provider trainings
- Coordinating with community-based organizations and support groups

Have discovered an awesome band from Seattle recently, yet giving me another reason for me wanting to return.
post harbour. are a post rock/experimental/ambient band with bits of Sigur Ros combined with Modest Mouse and Okkervil River.
Their album praenumbra is brilliant. I love the way songs build and flow, moving from the ambient to the ecstatic.
I am yet to sample their latest offering, but will be keen to grab hold of it soon.

Hollyoaks actress Jazmine Franks has said scenes where Esther takes things to the next level with girlfriend Tilly were awkward to film.
The soap star's character Esther Bloom has recently got together with Tilly Evans, played by Lucy Dixon, but says the scenes where they decide to sleep together were tough to get through.
She said: "It is quite nervewracking. You go to set and you're not that bothered about it, but when you have to climb on to the bed…
"It's also a room full of people, it's not just me and her. You've got the crew around you and it's like 'Argh this is really awkward'. But you just have to go for it. If you feel awkward you have to do take after take after take so it's best to just go for it and get it done in one or two takes."
However, Jazmine said she was fine with the kissing scenes as they had actually started two years ago, when Esther and Tilly first looked set to become an item in Hollyoaks.
She said: "We're so comfortable around each other so now it's like we're used to doing it, we're used to doing kissing scenes and stuff. But the first time I met Lucy was on our way down to Abersoch [where Hollyoaks filmed holiday episodes on location in North Wales] about two years ago and I literally met her on the coach down there and within a couple of hours we were kissing on the beach, it was the first scene we did together.
Latest Stories
"It was kind of good because it threw us in at the deep end. We were both nervous so I think they got that nervous energy and it was Esther's first kiss as well. At the time I was like 'How have you done this?' But it came across on the screen so well because I was absolutely petrified."
Jazmine and Lucy also appear in an episode of Hollyoaks Later together when Esther and Tilly take a spooky 18th birthday trip away.

Session Overview
03-12: Making Land Rights Real
Land: The Hidden Assets in African Cities
Global Observatory linking Research to Action (GORA), United States of America
African Capital cities offer multiple opportunities as a hub of economic activities as well as a link to local, regional and global economies. Today, they have an added advantage associated with their high population density and their youthful population, two important drivers of economic productivity and growth. Cities are built by people; with their concentration offering agglomeration of economies starting from their land and housing assets that constitute more than half of their wealth. With functioning institutions and laws, land and housing assets contribute to the planning, management and provision of services in settlements. However, in absence of functioning institutions and laws providing legal propriety rights, most of these assets remain dead investments sheltering only people. To tap into the potential of high densities, African cities must formalize their land system, which will be the driver of many other components of their foundation such as streets and public spaces, provision of basic infrastructures such as water, sanitation and energy, and management waste. It is urgent that national and local authorities recognize the wealth of their citizens and involve them in the planning, the building and the management of their city.
Community-Led, Citywide Settlement Profiling And Upgrading As Evidence Based Approach To Land Governance: The Case Of Muntinlupa City, Philippines
1Homeless People's Federation Philippines, Inc.; 2Philippine Action for Community-led Shelter Initiatives, Inc.; 3Technical Assistance Movement for People and Environment, Inc.; 4LinkBuild, Inc.; 5UN-Habitat/GLTN
Difficult living conditions for Informal Settler Families (ISFs) in the Philippines are worsened by the natural hazards and disasters that characterize it, for example, flooding and earthquakes. ISFs are the first and worst affected by these events, as well as man-made and health hazards, such as fires and dengue outbreaks.
Statistics about informal settlements in the country are limited, often because standard data gathering methods involve only counting of structures with little comprehensive studies on what lies within them. Other challenges in securing comprehensive information about settlements include mistrust against government-affiliated data gatherers for fear of eviction, the frequent changes in these settlements, and the lack of data gathering resources.
This scenario makes it difficult for governments to meet ISF needs and strategize hazard prevention measures and responsible land governance. It likewise makes ISFs invisible in government records. Despite these risks and the inability of governments to protect the urban poor, many ISFs consider land-tenure security their greatest need, which the legality of land and their low income, make it seemingly less attainable. This paper presents initiatives to overcome this absence of informal settlements information in Muntinlupa City, Philippines building from the partnership initiative with the Global Land Tool Network.
Making the Community Land Bill Effective: The Case of Mashimoni Settlement in Nairobi County and Kwa Bulo Settlement in Mombasa County of Kenya
1Pamoja Trust, Kenya; 2UN-Habitat/GLTN
This paper will highlight the partnership between the Global Land Tool Network and Pamoja Trust in empowering the urban poor communities in select areas with the relevant pro-poor land tools and approaches towards improving their tenure security status and living conditions. It will make a justification why the need to strengthen community organizations towards land claims and occupation in informal settlements as a way of improving their tenure security, access to basic services and infrastructure and inclusion to governments' planning work. It will also provide critical analyses on how these grassroots-oriented tools implementation and partnerships with local government authorities can enhance the implementation of the newly legislated Community Land Act and ensure inclusive policy dialogues. The urgent call by informal settlers to "count them in" in the urban landscape must be heard and the paper will provide several arguments why authorities need to do so building from the experiences of the two case studies. Finally, the authors will offer key recommendations on how these experiences can be used in similar instances within the country and elsewhere.
The Role Of Gender In Securing Land Rights For Equity, Sustainability, And Resilience
1Slum Women's Initiative for Development (SWID), Uganda; 2Metropolitan College New York City
The role of gender in securing land rights for equity, sustainability, and resilience.
The Slum Women's Initiative for Development (SWID) a non-government organization operating in Jinja District, Uganda has conducted extensive studies in within Jinja district which continue to document the inherent inequality faced by many women. Their unequal status, reflected in a range of social and economic indicators, highlights the specific vulnerabilities they face. In many cases, for example, women could not apply individually for land titles under their names. To avert the challenges, SWID has devised gender sensitive approaches to ensure that women, men, and youth have equal rights to land. We have mobilized women, men and youth, using the power of groups as an organizing tool, trained a team of paralegals made up of men, women, and youth who go around in the community to sensitize people on land rights. There has been significant progress, with increasing percentages of women's names appearing on the land titles. Advocacy and hard work, has made men change attitudes and allowed women's names to be put on land documents as owners rather than witnesses as it used to be.
Securing Land Rights within the Continuum of Land Rights Approach: Evidence from the Poor Urban Communities in Kenya and Uganda
1UN-Habitat; 2African Institute for Strategic Research Governance and Development
Implementation of land tenure security interventions in Kenya and Uganda through the adoption and implementation of pro-poor and gender responsive land tools and approaches within the continuum of land rights approach has contributed to positive outcomes in the lives of the urban dwellers, the community and to a large extent, to the local government affairs. Such impact pathways are multi-dimensional and occurring in many and different forms. The main parameters of change relate to, among other things; perceptions of tenure security; change in local power relations, the organization of communities to engage policy makers at national and local government levels, local economic conditions and the over-all land governance.
Essentially, the paper illustrates that voices from the community confirmed such impacts. The paper further argues that in securing tenure rights within the continuum of land rights framework, a new methodology needs to be put in place where "people" should be at the centre. The paper concludes with a suggested impact pathways for securing land rights with the continuum of land rights approach.

2 out of 2 people recommend staying here
Me and my two children (aged 5 and 13) stayed in this apartment for a fortnight in February and I was amazed at how lovely it was. We were met by a lady at the apartment who gave us the keys and a little tour, she was most helpful and such a lovely woman. The apartment is newly refurbished and the decor is gorgeous. It has all the amenities of home and the most amazing shower I have ever used! Not only does it play music but jets squirt you from all angles, truely relaxing and caused a few arguments between the kids as to whos turn it was to get in first! It also has Internet connection and a selec tion of DVDs which kept the kids entertained on the evening we chose to stay at home.
The apartment is about 10 mins away from the beach which is usefull as we spent alot of time there and its easy to get to. Its a lovely beach too which has the usual watersports as well as a beauty spa (massages, fish foot treatmentsetc) and a restaurant.
There are plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and a couple of supermarkets nearby which is handy when your self catering. The bars are child friendly and the locals are very welcoming, we met some lovely people and made some great friends. The nightlife is great too, many buzzing bars and clubs if you get a chance and Hard rock Cafe is a great night out with the kids dancing the night away!!
Our holiday was full of activities, which included Scuba Diving and Snorkeling, a boat trip to see some Dolphins, a Desert safari (which included Quad bikes and a meal) a Water Park, a Trip to the Pyramids (long day but worth every minute), Spinneys (Shopping Centre) had an indoor kids play area which consisted of Arcade games, Bouncy castle, Rides for under 10s, a Bucking Bronco (fun!) and Hover cars. The kids really enjoyed evenings there.There was even a Bowling Alley just around the corner! There are also plenty of Take away restaurants around, McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut and they all offer delivery too!!
We had a fantstic time and we will definately be returning in the near future. The photos of this place really dont do it justice!! Oh,and the pool was lovely too! Ive added a few pics of some fun stuff too, hope they dont bore ya! Happy Holiday!! Emz.
Myself and my two children (aged 5 and 13) stayed in Saras residence during February for two weeks. It is a beautiful apartment with gorgeous furnishings and all amenities you would find at home there is even Internet should you wish to use it as well as DVDs which kept the kids entertained on evenings we chose to spend at home. It features a wonderful shower which plays music and jets at you from all angles which is very relaxing and actually caused a few arguments between the kids!! Lol!!
Its about 10 mins from the beach which is handy as we spent a lot of time there and has lots of shops, cafès, bars and a couple of supermarkets close by. We had a brilliant holiday with lots of activities which included Scuba diving, a water park, a desert safari (which included quad biking and a meal not to forget the sand dunes! What fun!!) evening a bowling alley round the corner. The bars are children friendly and the locals very welcoming we made some lovely friends. The kids cant wait to get back there again and me too, as a single parent it can be hard to find something to please everyone but this did! The photograph of the apartment really dont do it justice it is a lovely place to stay and we will definitely be returning again!!

4 Reasons We Loved The Song Reason
Jennifer Ochieng | NEWS | 15 December, 2015
I don't know about you but I'm in love with Reason; the Coke Studio Africa produced song featuring NE-YO, Alikiba, Dama Do Bling, Wangechi, Ice Prince and Maurice Kirya. This is one of those songs you recommend to your friends. It is also one of those songs you play on loop for hours when practicing amateur yoga in your living room.
Let's validate the reason why this song is everything:
1. Music arrangement above par
Did anyone else get that NE-YO, Kirya velvety transition? NE-YO started singing and he took me with him wherever he was going. But then Kirya came in with his sweet mellow vocals and I had to breathe slower, just so I don't lose my mind from all the excellence. Through transitions and coordination on stage, you could sense the chemistry building up among the stars. They may all be from different parts of the world but they each had a reason to believe in that one song.
2. BGVs on fleek
Mayonde, Trina and Ivlyn are on another level of stardom. They don't only look great. They carried the song with their strong, rich vocals and make it fit perfectly in the ear. If there is one thing we've noticed from Coke Studio Africa season III, it is that the stars' fashion sense is unrivalled. Every one looked and sounded like a star.
3. Rap Queens united
When it came to the rap game on Reason, Wangechi and Dama Do Bling were on fire. It didn't even matter that I couldn't understand anything Dama said or that I couldn't keep up with Wangechi's flawless pace when I tried to mumble along. Nicki Minaj, we found two of your avatars on Coke Studio Africa. Which reminds me, I need to learn some Portuguese so that next time I meet the great Miss Bling, I can chat with her.
4. NE-YO brought it
We fell in love with NE-YO on Coke Studio's Reason. You see him singing there on the stage in his distressed jeans and his hat, and you never want him to stop. What a wonderful song with a powerful message. Thanks to the Coke Studio Africa superstars.

Cliff Spittle
The small town of Instow is a great holiday destination all year round, and a firm favourite with families. Tire out the kids with an energetic bike ride along the estuary following the route of the traffic-free Tarka Trail. Alternatively, take to the wide, golden beach for sandcastle building, kite flying or a spot of crabbing from the quay at high tide. For the more adventurous, hop on your windsurf board and cruise along the shore.
Instow also offers an array of great bars and restaurants, with views across the water to the picturesque village of Appledore. Watch the world go by and boats journeying along the estuary as you tuck-in to fine local seafood, ruby beef and even locally sourced samphire.
On a hot day, pop into Johns of Instow to pick up a picnic hamper or source your own local produce so you can dine al fresco on the beach.
For a more tranquil visit, call into the Waterside Gallery to see works by some of North Devon's finest artists, potters and craftspeople, or spend time watching the wildlife on the tidal mud flats along from the beach, as described in Henry Williamson's classic novel 'Tarka The Otter'.

Well it's official. My father lived to see 60!!! Two years ago, the doctors in Alberta told him he wouldn't live to see 60… and then he came to live with me, in Ontario two years ago (we've since moved out West). When he came to me, he had given in to his decided fate… convinced he had less than a year to live. I gave him two choices: 1) To live the best last year of his life and then die or 2) Decide to live. Took him a bit of time to understand that he had a choice… but he made the choice to live. He was simply too young to die and there is still so much for him to do before, well… he kicks the bucket. And wow!!! His health improved … so much so that when he moved back to Alberta, the same doctors were amazed!! They tell him he now had a good 5-7 years left in his current state-of-health. AND they are now telling my father that IF he continues doing what he's been doing, he can improve his odds even better yet!!!
So our family doesn't celebrate in big, over the top ways. But to my dad… the fact that I drove the 10-12 hours thru the great Canadian Rockies, with my cat Chandler, whom I must say is VERY lucky that I love him to pieces, who also doesn't travel well and drove me nuts for the first two hours of the drive and almost took a flying leap out the window.
My dad… all he wanted was me to be there. And I promised him I would take him to his favorite restaurant (The Keg) where we ate like Kings & Queens (the best prime rib and lobster meals)…. But I think what gave my father the most pleasure was such simple things. My father LOVES history… and something as simple as bringing him to a few historical places in his own backyard… well, why not??!!
We first visited Lake Minnewanka (in Banff National Park) where a resort village is burried in the lake back in 1941. It's also a glacier lake… where we got to spend a little up-close-and-personal time with some Big Horn Sheep.
We also drove until my butt was numb to visit Frank's Slide, once a thriving mining town at the base of Turtle Mountain. In 1903, in the early hours of the morn, 74 million tonnes of mountain side rock broke loose from the mountain side and in 90 seconds destroyed homes, mines and over 76 people died in a population of 100. We got there too late and wasn't able to get up close and personal for the tours but it meant a lot to my dad… and that good enough for me.
The rest of the pictures are some very unflattering pictures of me with the family… LOL… but then again, one doesn't have to get all dolled up and looking hot for family!!!

After 25 years of narrowly averting bullets, broken glass, falling roofs, flying cars, and idiotic authority figures, John McClane is lucky to be alive. And that makes all of us action fans lucky too.
Now Bruce Willis brings McClane back for the fifth installment of the venerable "Die Hard" franchise with "A Good Day to Die Hard," perhaps the most concussive film of the bunch. To honor one of the most determined, identifiable, and sarcastic action heroes ever to leap off the big screen, we present these Five Film Facts about the franchise, one for each film. Because like most days, today is indeed a good day to celebrate John McClane.
Feature Film Debut
1. The year was 1987, and the timing couldn't have been better for 20th Century Fox to open the Fox Plaza at the studio's Los Angeles headquarters. Or rather, the timing couldn't have been better for the first "Die Hard," as director John McTiernan's film really needed a skyscraper in which to shoot. Since it was a Fox production, the studio allowed McTiernan to showcase the new building. Which he certainly did, so much so that the original poster only featured the building, leaving Willis out of the picture all together (Fox was also reportedly worried about marketing Willis, who was only known as a television actor). After "Die Hard" (1988) blew up, the tower would forever become known as Nakatomi Plaza, even though it's been featured in a number of big name productions, including the opening sequence of "Speed" (1994), one of the buildings that falls in "Fight Club" (1999), and Mr. Zalinski's (Dan Aykroyd) Auto Parts building in "Tommy Boy" (1995).
Don't Move to Val Verde
2. In "Die Hard 2" (1990), often known as "Die Harder," the action hinges around a group of terrorists who take over Washington Dulles International Airport in an attempt to rescue imprisoned General Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero). Esperanza hails from Val Verde, which is the same fictional South American country that Arnold Schwarzenegger had already invaded twice, once in "Commando" (1985) and once in "Predator" (1987). The use of Val Verde in "Die Hard 2" made sense for ticket sales -- so the film's villain wasn't from a real country -- and also because the first "Die Hard" was originally intended to be a sequel to "Commando." However no one cleared that idea with Schwarzenegger, who wasn't interested in reprising the role of John Matrix.
[Related: Actors who turned down 'Die Hard ']
Good Development
3. Numero tres, "Die Hard: With a Vengeance" (1995), is actually the first film of the franchise to be created from an original script, as the first was based on the novel "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Roderick Thorpe and the second sprung from Walter Wager's novel "58 Minutes". However, "Simon Says," the original spec script that Jonathan Hensleigh wrote in just 11 days (first draft), wasn't actually intended to be a "Die Hard" movie. It was initially conceived to be a vehicle for Brandon Lee, but was later retrofitted to make room for John McClane.
The Reason We Love Action Flicks
4. "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007), the fourth installment, officially titled "Die Hard 4.0" in Europe, was the first and only PG-13 film in the franchise, as the rest have been rated R. It was also the first and only film to be directed by the man behind the "Underworld" franchise (and Kate Beckinsale's husband), Len Wiseman. Wiseman wanted to set his "Die Hard" apart from some of the CG heavy films of the day (we're talking about you "Transformers") so he insisted on doing as many practical VFX stunts as possible, including remarkably sending a car flying through the air into a helicopter, as seen in the trailer above.
[Related: 'Die Hard' 25th Anniversary Blu-ray clip']
Shooting From the Hip
5. Two weeks into shooting the fifth installment, "A Good Day to Die Hard," the filmmakers decided to completely rework the ending of the movie. "The big twist wasn't locked. I don't think you can have a Die Hard without a giant twist. That's one of the slightly overlooked staples. Don't forget Gruber saying 'You wanted a miracle, I give you the FBI.' That didn't happen for us until two weeks into shooting," director John Moore told Empire. You can hear plenty more about the new film, including Bruce Willis's thoughts on 25 years of the franchise, in our Insider Access above.

I'm going to make Southern Gospel fans of y'all yet. How can you not love these lyrics?
I know not everybody enjoys Christian comedy, but if you do, it looks like John Crist might be the next Tim Hawkins.
"Only God can judge me!"
"Right. And if you don't repent, that judgment is going to be 'Guilty!'."
Here's the latest from our friend Pastor Gabe over at WWUTT.
Sure, Jesus is calling Sarah Young. Calling her to repent and believe in the sufficiency of Scripture, that is. (More info. on Sarah Young/Jesus Calling under the "Popular False Teachers" tab at the top of the blog.)

Disorders of the Endocrine System
Disorders of the endocrine system and psychological symptoms
The endocrine system is a network of glands that secrete substances called hormones into the bloodstream. The hormones regulate the body's metabolism. If the body has too much or too little of a certain hormone, the feedback system signals the proper gland or glands to correct the problem. A hormone imbalance may occur if this feedback system can't maintain the right level of hormones in the bloodstream, and may lead to endocrine disorders. There are many different types of endocrine disorders.
- Diabetes is the most common endocrine disorder diagnosed in the United States.
- Adrenal insufficiency. The adrenal gland releases too little of the hormone cortisol and sometimes, aldosterone. Addison's disease is a type of adrenal insufficiency.
- Cushing's disease. Overproduction of a pituitary gland hormone leads to an overactive adrenal gland.
- Gigantism and other growth hormone problems. If the pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone, a child's bones and body parts may grow abnormally fast. If growth hormone levels are too low, a child can stop growing in height.
- Hyperthyroidism. The thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. The most common cause for an overactive thyroid is an autoimmune disorder called Grave's disease.
- Hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone.
- Hypopituitarism. The pituitary gland releases little or no hormones.
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia I and II (MEN I and MEN II). These rare, genetic conditions are passed down through families. They cause tumors of the parathyroid, adrenal, and thyroid glands, leading to overproduction of hormones.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Overproduction of androgens interfere with the development of eggs and their release from the female ovaries.
- Precocious puberty. Abnormally early puberty that occurs when glands tell the body to release sex hormones too soon in life.
Testing for endocrine disorders is performed by an endocrinologist. The symptoms of an endocrine disorder vary widely and depend on the specific gland involved. However, most people with endocrine disease complain of psychological symptoms like depression, fatigue and weakness. There are many other areas of interaction between physical disorders and psychotic disorders. Below are some examples:
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) symptoms can include delirium or coma, palpitations, anxiety, tremor.
- Hypotyroidism is accompanied by psychiatric symptoms of depression, anxiety and cognitive impairment.
- Hyperthyroidism produces symptoms as anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, mood swings, decresed concentration, decreased memory, major depression.
- Adrenal disorders Cushing syndrom mimic depression.
- Diabetis is accompanied by fatigue, memory impairment, depression.
- Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) causes a general slowing of all body functions. Patient complains of depresion and fatigue.
- Hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis: usually associated with anxiety but may present as depression, especially in the elderly who may have few classical signs of thyroid disease.
- Adrenal hypofunction (Addison's Disease): often presents with weakness and fatigue.
- Adrenal hyperfunction (Cushing's Disease): either depression or mania.
- Hyperparathyroidism: lassitude, anorexia, weakness, and depressed mood.
The close relationship between psychiatry and endocrinology was recognized many years ago by many great psychiatrists including Sigmund Freud. In general, endocrine disorders may lead to depressive syndromes. Depression in the context of endocrine disease may be more difficult to treat or may respond only when the endocrine disorder is addressed. Also, the course of endocrine disease may be adversely affected by depression. Doctors often do not take enough time with patients to get to the root cause of their issues. There is a very real possibility that what seems to be a psychiatric problem is caused by some physical illness. In order to decide if a
physical disorder exists, the psychiatrist and doctor must have comprehensive information. For example, a patient complaining of depression with decreased energy level, is also complaining of increased weight, cold intolerance, and extremely dry skin. Therefore, the patient must have physical exams before making psychological diagnosis, as thyroid problems or any other medical problems might be potentiating his depression. Thus the importance of physical exams before making any diagnosis is crucial.
