Mercedes-Benz USA has discontinued selling its Sprinter van through Dodge dealerships and will instead make them available through Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner dealers beginning in January, according to a report in Automotive News.
The Sprinter van and cab chassis are popular platforms for Class B and C motorhomes. Mercedes-Benz has always required RV OEMs to obtain their Sprinter bodies through retail dealerships. Until now, that has been either Dodge or Freightliner stores.
But in September, Daimler AG pulled the Sprinter from the Dodge lineup and moved the diesel-powered, high-mileage van to Mercedes, according to Automotive News.
Executives at Leisure Travel Vans Ltd., Morden, Manitoba, which has built camper vans on Freightliner-badged Sprinters in the U.S. and Dodge-badged units in Canada, said the move in a positive one.
"We are in conversations with the new Sprinter division contacts," Ryan Elias, Leisure Travel assistant general manager, told RVBUSINESS.com. "We are told that deliveries will be quicker and that communications will be better. That's very, very encouraging to hear."
Elias said "most likely" Leisure Travel Vans will switch all its production to Mercedes-badged Sprinters because of the Mercedes cache.
According to Automotive News, in October, Mercedes invited about 120 of its dealers and 45 Freightliner dealers who sell the Sprinter to a meeting in Denver to discuss plans for the vehicle. Freightliner Trucks is a division of Daimler Trucks North America LLC.
Dealers had only a couple of weeks to accept Mercedes' offer to sell the Mercedes-badged Sprinters. Near the deadline, 100 Mercedes dealers and 43 Freightliner dealers agreed.
Ernst Lieb, Mercedes-Benz USA CEO, said that Mercedes dealers chosen to sell the Springer are "a healthy mix" of urban and rural stores.
Mercedes looked at dealers in regions with high Sprinter sales over the past decade and then chose those that could sell more than 30 van annually.
At the Denver meeting, Lieb said, "We gave them an overview of the product and how we are planning to sell it and what will be required in terms of inventory."
Dodge dealers began selling the Dodge-badge Sprinter in the U.S. in 2003. In 2008, 350 Dodge dealers sold 14,600 Sprinters. Including Freightliner-badged vans, 2008 sales were 18,282.
The Sprinter will be sold through the newly created Daimler Vans USA, based in New Jersey at Mercedes' U.S. headquarters.

Cuomo: Sandy cost NY, NYC $42B in damage, loss
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo says Superstorm Sandy ran up a $42 billion bill on New York and the state and New York City will make big requests for disaster aid from the federal government.
The cost includes $32 billion for repairs and restoration, but also includes an additional accounting of $9 billion for mitigation of damage and for preventive measures for the next disastrous storm.
Cuomo says New York taxpayers can't foot the bill.
He met with the New York's congressional delegation Monday to discuss the new figures that he said is "less than a wish list." The delegation, Cuomo and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will now draw up a request for federal disaster aid.
Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer and Republican Rep. Peter King say they will work together.
Associated Press writer Jennifer Peltz in New York City contributed to this report.

The Endicott Johnson Corporation, known for
decades as the manufacturer of good, sturdy
shoes, is now a "with it" company.
But that new watchword of EJ, as the residents
of the company's triple home towns of Bingham-ton,
Endicott and Johnson City, New York, call
it, has evolved through some recent hard times
for the nearly century-old corporation.
Now Endicott Johnson, a company that five
years ago reported an annual operating loss of
more than $4 million, has a new image—the
image of a footwear manufacturer that puts out
a shoe styled to compete in fashion design with
any in its medium price range; boasts an advanced
marketing system through what EJ considers
the most sophisticated electronic data
processing system of any shoe company; and has
pioneered a new type of sport footwear.
The new image has given a new look also to
the company's financial statement, changing the
print from red to black and showing a $1.5 million
profit in the company's interim report for the first
half of 1968.
Until it was forced by a changing society that
wanted style plus comfort in its shoes, Endicott
Johnson was a company as homey as its product.
It was a company guided by one of its co-founders
George F. Johnson—a man who planned and
built homes, parks and swimming pools for his
workers and designed an 18-hole employee golf
course that, he said, "had to be level so that men
and women who have been busy at machines all
day won't have to climb the tough hills that make
a course sporty."
In its early years EJ claimed many firsts in the
shoe industry. It was the first shoe company in
1903 to sell its output directly to dealers rather
than through jobbers and later the first to open
its own retail stores. Only forty years old in the
early 1920's, the company had become the most i
highly integrated shoe manufacturer in the industry.
Ten years later it had become the industry's
second largest shoe producer with a capacity of
45 million pairs of shoes in 28 plants.
Yet in 1960 the company, after experiencing
some earlier shaky years, recorded its first loss
—a loss of $1.5 million—and was fighting for its|
life against a New York City-based holding com-i
pany that was trying to gain financial control. •
Endicott Johnson began to sink because it continued
its old pattern of distribution to rural populations

Today's high-end automobiles are the incubators of tomorrow's high-tech cars. Several of this year's top luxury models, for instance, offer such innovative features as 3-D Surround Sound stereo systems, night vision cameras, touch screens with mobile phone and seat adjustment apps and even Air Balance packages that filter, purify and perfume the interior cabin air. In a few years, more humble vehicles will likely sport the same upgrades.
Some of these novel features are optional, but are sure to become standard in such high-end cars like Bentley, Tesla, Mercedes Benz and Italy's trio of superb driving machines—Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati. The luxury automobile industry has really pushed the envelope of technological ingenuity in recent years. Back in the 1970s, a seatbelt was the key safety feature, and drivers weren't even required to snap them shut. Today, some high-end brands tout seatbelts that will tighten the second the car senses an imminent accident.
Such "smart machines," as they're now called, may also include a set of pre-tension brakes that determine if the car is closing in too fast on the one in front of it. Sensors at the front of the automobile depress the brakes to slow down the vehicle accordingly. As for tomorrow's cars, as Google's driverless cars demonstrate, the sensor-driven data analytics will do a good part of the driving for you.
The growing array of high-tech marvels in luxury automobiles is a mix of safety features and others focused more on entertainment and comfort.
With systems for navigation, collision warning and perfect parallel parking now available in less expensive automobiles, the luxury car brands are differentiating themselves competitively with the best that technology can offer.
For those with the means to afford them, luxury cars are far more than just status symbols. They simply want the safest, most secure and comfortable cars available. But all that high tech comes with high cost if they break down or are otherwise damaged in an accident. For example, the sensors imbedded in the front of a high-end automobile to provide night vision cameras cost more than $11,000 to replace if damaged in a front-end collision. The cameras project an infrared image on the windshield when a deer or child, for instance, ventures onto a darkened road ahead.
Cars that offer adaptive cruise control invite significant costs as well. Adaptive cruise control is simply conventional cruise control with a sensor that slows down the car when it gets too close to another car in front of it. Similar to the aforementioned depressed brake sensors, they, too, are located at the front end of the vehicle. The replacement costs of a damaged adaptive cruise control sensor are about $2,300.
Certainly, the costs of replacing such vital safety systems are well worth it, as they save lives and reduce the risk of even greater damage to an automobile caused by a collision. But there is an undervalued if not largely unknown element to these high-tech features that involve insurance: Not all insurance policies will reimburse the full value of replacing the systems.
Costly and Possibly Not Covered
James Merriman, the executive VP of HUB International, a national brokerage specializing in serving the risk management and insurance needs of affluent families, emphasized the importance for financial advisors and wealth managers to understand that their clients' luxury automobiles should be insured through so-called "agreed-value" insurance.
"If you own a $120,000 high-end, fully electric automobile with all the latest technology systems, which is what a lot of our clients are buying these days, and that car is totaled in an accident, a run of the mill insurance policy will not reimburse the full amount towards another $120,000 car," Jim explained. "It won't come close."
The reason, in part, is depreciation. As everyone knows, the minute one drives a brand new vehicle off the car lot it is generally worth 20% less. Generic car insurance policies take depreciation into account when a claim is filed. An agreed-value insurance policy, on the other hand, establishes the value of the car at the time the insurance was contracted. If the policyholder paid $120,000 for the car, that amount is locked in for the 12-month period of the insurance policy. Total it, and you get the full agreed value.
This full and complete amount of coverage applies to all of the automobile's components—from a busted side view mirror to the replacement of those fancy LED light systems that have become ubiquitous on a few luxury models.
Interestingly, Jim said that many individuals mistakenly believe that all automobile insurance policies are alike, other than their price. "Too many people think car insurance is a commodity," he said. "Obviously, we don't sit down with our clients or their advisors and say, `If you're in an auto accident, we will repair the car except for the extra cost of this high-tech system or that one. They've got other things on their mind and want the best insurance available, which is what we automatically provide them. And that is agreed-value coverage."
He added, "The companies promoting their inexpensive car insurance in TV commercials; well, they don't sell agreed-value insurance."
In much the same way that high-net-worth individuals and their families typically buy the safest automobiles available, they should also purchase the surest auto insurance—"surest" in the sense that there are no sudden surprises when an accident claim is filed.
Safer and Wiser
There are side benefits to buying a luxury brand with the best high-tech collision warning and other safety systems. As Jim noted, "Cars with these alert-type features cost more to repair, but they also reduce the risk of an accident. High-end insurers typically take into account the reduction in frequency risk in their underwriting."
He makes a good point. Any time an automobile manufacturer enhances vehicle and/or occupant safety, insurance companies will generally reflect this in their pricing. As these sophisticated safety features are passed down and incorporated in lower-priced vehicle models, everyone benefits—well, everyone other than the auto repair shop.
Who knows? Three or four years from now we may all be driving cars with scented air wafting out of the vents. I'll take gardenia.

Rosemont, Ill. – A literature review, led by Dr. Joseph Lee, published in the June 2010 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS) suggests that a herniated disk is one of the most frequent causes of low back and leg pain in adults, but surgery is not for everyone. Between 60 and 80 percent of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives
Disks, which are strong shock absorbers between the vertebrae, can begin to herniate or weaken when their jelly-like nucleus pushes against the outer ring due to aging or a sudden injury. This pressure against the outer ring is often what causes lower back pain.
"Orthopaedic surgeons can help by educating patients about the risks of back surgery and work with the patient to determine the best course of treatment, whether it be surgical or non-surgical," stated review co-author Mark Weidenbaum, MD, Director of Orthopaedic Spine Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Milstein Pavilion, Columbia University Medical Center, New York.
A herniated disk can sometimes be very painful and most people feel better with just a few months of nonsurgical treatment, which can consist of physical therapy, medications or epidural steroids. However, some patients are treated with a surgical procedure known as a diskectomy.
At least 200,000 diskectomies are performed in the United States each year, and potential diskectomy surgical techniques include:
- conventional open diskectomy;
- micro-diskectomy; which is the most common technique
- minimally invasive (endoscopic) diskectomy; and
- open diskectomy with fusion.
"The main thing for patients who may be contemplating surgery for back pain is that it must be a mutual decision agreed upon by both doctor and patient. Both parties need to discuss the type of disk herniation and all the potential options for treatment before deciding on surgery," suggested Dr. Weidenbaum.
Many patients find relief after a diskectomy, but approximately 5 percent to 15 percent of patients experience a recurrent disk herniation, defined as back and/or leg pain recurring after a definite pain-free period from the initial surgery, then pain begins again. Treatment for recurrent lumbar disk herniation may include aggressive medical management and surgical intervention.
In addition, the review cited literature indicated that:
- Patients with larger herniations are more likely to experience a recurrence of pain; and
- Patients who had endoscopic surgery (less invasive) may be more likely to experience a recurrence than patients who had a more invasive procedure.
"When a patient has recurring pain, surgeons should perform a complete workup, including an MRI, to learn whether the cause is actually recurrent disk herniation or another problem, such as spinal instability," Weidenbaum notes. "If a patient has spinal instability a revision diskectomy isn't going to help that person—another type of surgery may be needed."

Yesterday the House of Lords delivered its last judgments as the final court of appeal in England and Wales. For many, many, many years (as with all thing English), the House of Lords had a dual function, sitting as both a part of the legislature and the judiciary. From 1 October this year, the new Supreme Court of the United Kingdom will be sitting on Parliament Square, comprised of twelve current Lords of Appeal in the Ordinary.
Among the various domestic high courts, the Law Lords were probably without peer in their application of international law, particularly human rights law. It is thus fitting that they went out with a bang, rather than a whimper. Among their final judgments is Purdy v. DPP, where their Lordships unanimously held that the Director of Public Prosecutions (who as in other common law system has a discretion, rather than an ex officio duty to prosecute), had to publish a clear statement of policy as to when and under what circumstances he would prosecute persons assisting their terminally ill loved ones in going to a clinic in Switzerland to obtain euthanasia. Their Lordships based their decision on the legal predictability requirement under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
In parting, one could only say that if some of the other European states (you know who they are) had a judicial system that was even only half as effective as is the English judiciary, and the House of Lords in particular, in the protection of individual rights under the Human Rights Act (and make no mistake about it, the HRA was truly a moment of fundamental constitutional change in the UK, requiring an enormous amount of adjustment and good will from the judiciary), then the case load of the Strasbourg Court would not be as unmanageable, nor would there be all the Protocol 14s, 14bis and other restrictions on the right of individual petition, which are ultimately only stop-gap measures that lead to nowhere. Nor would, for that matter, the Court itself be the bloated, bureaucratic, basically almost entirely Registry-run institution that it is today. (As the readers might have guessed, I have a truly Kafkian horror story or two to tell in regard of a client that I've represented, but I'll refrain from doing so to avoid the stereotype of a complaining loser).
Anyway, as the saying goes, nothing lasts forever…

What are the differences between a true Koi pond and a water garden?
Natalie _ San Francisco, CA
When it comes to backyard ponds you may hear multiple names thrown out like water garden, Koi pond, decorative pond or other, more creative, titles. While these names are used loosely and interchangeably by many-a-pond owner there are considerable differences between a water garden and a Koi pond used for spawning and raising Koi.
So what draws the line in the sand between Koi ponds and water gardens? Water gardens are geared more towards the every-day pond owner as they are tailored to be easier to construct and maintain while having a higher aesthetic appeal and yard friendly design. Decorated with spitters, plants, lighting and other outdoor décor, water gardens can contain can contain all types of fish with goldfish and Koi being the most popular. Koi ponds tend to be sought after by pond owners that plan raising an abundance of Koi for selling or showing in fish clubs or competitions. With this goal in mind these ponds discourage the presence of species like goldfish as they breed prolifically and take up valuable space for their prize winning koi.
Another distinguishing factor is the design of the pond itself. Water gardens are typically less than 2 ft. in depth and contain plant shelves around the outside perimeter to hold a wide variety of aquatic habitat and visual stimulation. While a koi pond may also include plants for filtration or aesthetic appeal the design of this type of pond is all about the koi. These ponds do not contain plant shelves and are usually 4 ft. in depth or more. One reason for this is to discourage predators and increase useable area for their fish to roam and grow. Koi ponds also utilize bottom drains and large amounts of water flow to create ideal breeding conditions. As Koi breeders want to fit as many fish as they can into their ponds they rely on complex heavy duty filtration systems, and UV sterilizers to keep pond water clean. These systems are much more complex then the pond skimmers, pressurized filters and waterfall boxes water gardeners use.
Have the pond already but need help getting it established? Check out our fish and plant packages. Also, for more information on koi breeding click over to our blog on Fish Reproduction. Need help deciding? There are also a wide array of informational books and videos for those of you who are just looking to get started in the water garden or koi pond hobby.

Chestnut Hill College and Father Jim St. George, who was dropped as an adjunct professor at the college when officials there discovered he was openly gay, reached a settlement last weekend and have, in the words of St. George, "agreed to move on."
"This should send a signal to the community," St. George told the Local in an interview Monday afternoon. "We can have a dispute and can resolve it without going to court. It's not about whether they are Roman Catholic and I'm not. We're all in our heart Christian, and we can find ways to settle our differences."
St. George declined to discuss the specifics of the settlement, which both parties agreed would remain confidential.
The settlement comes one month after St. George learned that the school had not renewed his teaching contract. He had been a religion professor at Chestnut Hill College since January 2010.
St. George is an ordained priest of the Old Catholic Apostolic Church of America, which allows its priests to be gay, straight, celibate or married. That church separated from Roman Catholicism in 1873. St. George is the pastor of St. Miriam Church in Blue Bell.
After news of his termination was reported widely through the media, Chestnut Hill College president Sister Carol Jean Vale confirmed that the school had severed its ties with St. George because he was openly gay.
"It was with great disappointment when we learned through St. George's public statements of his involvement in a gay relationship with another man for the past 15 years," Vale said in a prepared statement. "It is important to note that this information came to our attention only after St. George chose to make his private life public information on his blog.
"While we welcome diversity, it is expected that all members of our College community, regardless of their personal beliefs, respect and uphold our Roman Catholic mission, character and values, both in the classroom and in public statements that identify them with our school. For this reason, we chose not to offer an additional teaching contract to St. George."
St. George told the Local that life had been "hectic" during the last month. In addition to the stress of losing his teaching position and coverage of his termination in local and national media, were press reports of a prison sentence St. George served nearly 20 years ago stemming from a federal conviction for fraud. That conviction was for misused funds at a funeral home St. George owned in Erie, PA.
"I stopped looking at all the good things in my life and looked at all the bad things," St. George said. "I kept wondering, 'Why am I being assaulted for not doing anything wrong.' I never held myself out as being a perfect human being. I did things in the past, but I've done nothing but good with my life since then."
St. George said that in the weeks leading up to last weekend's settlement he had been considering litigation against the school. But, he said, he began talking with officials at the school, and they reached an agreement. A press conference to announce the agreement, with both St. George and officials from Chestnut Hill College, had been scheduled for Monday morning, but was cancelled.
"I wanted to try and figure out a way to resolve it amicably," St. George said. "The school finally came and we came to a resolution." And it was a resolution that came just in time.
"This morning at 6:30 I had a parishioner – a long time parishioner – who died," St. George said. "What it did was foist this whole thing into perspective. I'm a priest. That's what I do. That's what I want to do. My obligation is to be there for my parish when they need me. If I kept going, I would be so distracted I would not be present for my community."
St. George said he had no hard feelings toward Chestnut Hill College and had nothing but good things to say about the school and its students.
"I am grateful for the students who supported me," he said. "I told them that we can only do so much, but that we can stand up when we see something that we perceive as injustice. Very few people do that. I told them, don't take it out on Chestnut Hill College. If you enjoy the college and the education you are getting, don't let this be a deterrent. You learned something from me. Just like the church is not a building, college is made up of a lot of good hard-working people."
Jessica Murray, a Chestnut Hill College student who had organized a rally for St. George last Saturday (the rally was canceled when students learned of the settlement between the school and St. George) said in an email that she believed the settlement and the situation had been productive.
I truly believe that [Chestnut Hill College] will never [again] treat a person as unjustly as they did Father Jim," she wrote. "The students knew that he was not going to be reinstated, but it had to be learned that this behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
"The school has learned that, and they learned that their students have voices that will be heard. It is going to take time to rebuild trust within the school, but I am hoping that one day it can be accomplished."

Press Automation Boosts Production at VW
The standardized platform introduced by Volkswagen on the new Golf 7 made headlines at the Paris auto show last September. The company is leveraging economies of scale like never before, using a new modular production system touted in automotive publications for providing flexibility in production regarding quantity, degree of automation and vehicle type.
'We completed the recommissioning of one press line for the new Golf 7 production launch," says Helmut Wiesing, Strothmann sales manager for pressroom automation, "by retrofitting a press line at the VW Wolfsburg (Germany) plant. And, we have been commissioned to undertake the fundamental modernization of two more lines at VW's Emden (Germany) site."
The Heart of Each Retrofit Project
…is Strothmann's CompactTransfer system, a four-axis system (with height and cross-section compensation) based on linear technology. The CompactTransfer system makes orientation stations between presses unnecessary since it picks up the parts, orients them and places them in the following press all by itself. It can maneuver workpieces as large as 2500 by 4600 mm, with weight capacity to 120 kg (combined blank and tooling weight); typical press-to-press distance is 5000 mm.
The system's compact design enabled it to easily fit into the small available mounting space between existing press bolsters and rams at the VW plants. Four linear axes and one rotating axis, each with its dedicated drive, enable the CompactTransfer system to execute extremely agile orientation functions. For maximum freedom of movement, the crossbar is suspended on two pivot joints. It integrates a telescope piece which allows for dynamic length compensation. The CompactTransfer halves can thereby—within limit—travel in different directions.
Thanks to the new transfer-automation technology, Volkswagen was able to increase line speed from 14 strokes/min. to 16 strokes/min. And, for the first time, the retrofitted press line allows for the separation of double blanks during transfer and for the transfer of as many as four parts from one die to the next. Further, the die-change process has been automated, resulting in additional, significant time savings.
Line Layout
Before the retrofit, the VW pressroom's handling equipment was coupled with the press mechanical driveshaft. Now, the transfer system and press have been decoupled, and mechanical wear has been minimized as a result. Stripping the 59,000-kN press, 600 tons of steel and copper were removed and assigned for internal recycling. Only the press bolsters, drives and foundations were left alone.
A key enabler of VW's new production system is highly dynamic press-automation technology, including Strothmann CompactTransfer crossbar systems designed to increase throughput by 20 to 30 percent over previous technology.
In the retrofitted press line, the press rams attach to the shaft with a 30-deg. offset from each ram to the next. The CompactTransfer system is synchronized with the movements of the press rams in real time. It can thus work with a minimum amount of maneuvering space, and optimizing stroke rate.
One of the specifications for the VW modernization project was systematic standardization, to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting. Presses from various manufacturers and the respective diverse control systems were to be visualized on a uniform surface. Accordingly, the higher-level control system and the safety controller were to be designed consistently and transparently.
A Space-Saving Transfer Solution
The comprehensive transfer-automation concept combines a blank feeder with a fully automatic tool-change system, the CompactTransfer system, and standard robots at the end of the press line. Programming the motion curves, Strothmann used Siemens press-simulation software to determine the most efficient and safe paths. The theoretical maximum acceleration is 25 m/sec.² for the horizontal axis and 15 m/sec.² for the vertical axis. In operation, the system accelerates by 20 m/sec.² (horizontal axis) and 10 m/sec.² (vertical axis). Retrofitting the CompactTransfer system proved to be a simple and fast process for VW. It was able to exchange a complete module within a few hours by using the existing drill pattern on the press frames. In keeping with the drive for standardization and uncomplicated maintenance, only standard parts were used for the linear-motion bearings and drives. And, as specified by the customer, Strothmann installed Siemens drives for the particularly highly demanding tasks.
In comparison with articulated-arm systems, the solution therefore offers a range of advantages: the linear technology used for carrying out the complex and long transfer paths is simpler and more transparent for the operator; orientation stations are not required; and the drives are positioned where they cannot be destroyed by the dies.
Setup time also has been significantly reduced through automation. Strothmann fitted the die-change tables with front holding frames. Now, whenever the press line needs to be set up for different parts, the Compact-Transfer can simply place the crossbar in the bracket so that it is removed from the press line along with the dies. The operator can then loosen the quick-release skewers on the crossbar and exchange the tooling.
Blank loading and End of Line
The blanks are carted in front of the press line on Strothmann RoundTracks—a floor-rail system designed for transporting heavy goods. The rails are recessed to sit nearly flush with the floor, and, due to their reportedly extremely low rolling resistance (0.01 friction coefficient), RoundTrack systems require relatively little energy.
Two feeders (Strothmann SRLM-2/120 models) unload the blank trolleys at a combined 18 strokes/min. The trolleys feature lifting apparatus to mechanically adjust the stack height. Double blanks are automatically detected and discarded, and then the sheets are washed and lubricated. An indexed conveyor then transports blanks to the press as a set of four line cameras monitors their positions. A vision system analyzes the data and, based on the results, directs two centering robots to correct blank position.
At the end of the line, an out-feed conveyor carries parts a from the press line where awaiting parts-removal robots orient the parts for the operator. The operator then loads the parts into customized containers that locate them in the correct ergonomic position for unloading at VW assembly lines.

text: BUSINESS Michael Bay conjures 'Ouija' movie 10:00 PM PDT 5/28/2008 by Borys Kit , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Platinum Dunes working on film based on Hasbro game David Berenbaum and Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes have been brought on deck to bring Hasbro's supernatural game "Ouija Board" to the big screen. The project is set up at Universal, where Hasbro has a six-year strategic partnership. Platinum Dunes' Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller will produce "Ouija" along with Hasbro. Although the specific log line for the film is being kept under wraps, the film will be a supernatural adventure with the Ouija board playing an integral part of the story. The movie is not taking a "Jumanji"-like approach, which involved a game coming to life. While divination or spiritual boards have been around for centuries, they began being sold as novelty items in the late 1800s, with the first Ouija board, one with an alphabet on it, being patented in 1890. Players' fingers are placed on a small planchette that mysteriously moves to letters and numbers in order to spell out messages from beyond the earthly realm.The board has been produced by Hasbro's Parker Brothers since 1966, with millions being sold worldwide. Bennett Schneir, Hasbro's senior vp and managing director of motion pictures will oversee the project for Hasbro.Berenbaum penned "Elf" and worked on "The Spiderwick Chronicles," "Zoom," and "The Haunted Mansion." The scribe was approached by Hasbro before the company's partnership with Universal and his deal only very recently closed. Platinum Dunes, known for its horror remakes, is working on "Unborn," an original supernatural thriller being directed by David Goyer. The project is another example of WMA synergy at work: the agency reps Hasbro, Berenbaum and Platinum Dunes.

Eczema is an inflammation of the skin. It can create dry itchy and scaly skin that can crust and crack. When the skin breaks, there is an increased risk of infection. The exact cause is not known, but allergens such as wool, soap, dust mites and certain foods can make the condition worse. Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, may be treated with skin care, medications, and special light therapy. Some research has indicated that probiotic therapy may also have some benefit. Probiotics are "good" bacteria necessary for the proper and balanced functioning of the digestive tract, which theoretically may influence allergic conditions like eczema.
Researchers from the Department of Pediatrics at Wright State University conducted a review of past studies to assess the benefit of probiotics for children with eczema. The study published in Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology found that probiotics may benefit children with moderately severe eczema.
About the Study
The systematic review combined the results of 10 previous randomized trials investigating the use of probiotics to treat eczema in children. The trials enrolled a total of 678 children with atopic dermatitis. Their ages ranged from 1 month to 13 years. The severity of the eczema was rated using the Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis Severity Index (SCORAD) scale.
Overall, treatment with probiotics was associated with a lower SCORAD score (improvement in eczema symptoms) compared to a placebo. However, only those children with moderately severe eczema, as opposed to mild eczema, seemed to benefit.
How Does This Affect You?
It is important to keep eczema under control, not only for the child's comfort but to also avoid infections from broken skin. There have been conflicting reports of the benefits of probiotics for the treatment of eczema. A systematic review helps to improve the reliability of study results by combining several smaller studies. This type of review may create a clearer picture of a controversial treatment.
Avoiding known allergens and instituting proper skin care are the cornerstones of eczema management. In addition, it appears that probiotics may offer some relief to children whose eczema is moderately severe. However, it is unlikely that probiotics will resolve the problem on their own. If your child is currently taking medications to treat his or her eczema, it may be worthwhile to discuss with your child's doctor the benefits of adding a probiotic.

GEMS was retired in November 2012. In its place we have developed a broader, large-scale differential gene expression tool for the nuclear receptor signaling research community, Transcriptomine. Transcriptomine collates 'omics-scale differential gene expression studies across the nuclear receptor and coregulator signaling field into a single analysis tool, allowing researchers to detect patterns across multiple datasets. A large number of 17beta-estradiol MCF-7 datasets have been uploaded to the database, including all those originally in GEMS. These can currently be viewed as individual fold changes.

Every Thursday, the writers of the Modern Blog share a few items of interest that they've come across online. These links will generally relate to art, museums, artists, or perhaps they brought up ideas and concepts which we found worth exploring. Enjoy!
- We really enjoyed Whitehot Magazine's write-up on the recently-closed Mark Bradford retrospective at SFMOMA. Some of you may remember that it was also at the Dallas Museum of Art earlier this fall.
- Ed Ruscha gave a fantastic interview with the Huffington Post on Jack Kerouac, Social Media, and Pop Culture in the 1960's -- fitting, given his new exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami.
- MoMA posted an interesting sound clip of Richard Serra discussing his work Delineator (1974-75), which is up in their galleries.
- If you're a Cindy Sherman fan, then we found the perfect Tumblr for you. It's filled with artist interviews, videos, Sherman's photography, and much more.

Preconception care to reduce maternal and childhood mortality and morbidity
Meeting report and packages of interventions: WHO HQ, February 2012
Reduction of maternal and childhood mortality and morbidity requires the provision of a continuum of care that spans pregnancy, childbirth, infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Interventions before pregnancy can increase the health and well-being of adolescents, adult women and men, and improve subsequent pregnancy and child health outcomes.
This report reflects the proceedings from a meeting to develop global consensus on preconception care to reduce maternal and childhood mortality and morbidity. It furthermore provides packages of interventions in thirteen domains - listing the health problems, problem behaviours and risk factors that contribute to maternal and childhood mortality and morbidity, evidence-based interventions to address them and mechanisms of delivering them.

- Helpful Tips: When installing a pendant light over a kitchen table or island, the bottom of the light should be approximately 28 to 34 inches from the surface of your counter or table. However, this is just a guideline; you want to make sure the light is not in the way for people while using the space nor do you want light glaring in your eyes. Our pendants are height adjustable for flexibility to install at the optimal height for your application. When hanging a pendant over a floor, you should provide at least 1 foot of clearance for people walking under the light. For an 8 foot ceiling the pendant should hang approximately 12 to 20 inches below the ceiling. For each additional foot of ceiling height, add another 3 inches.

To join the conversation on Sex and the Single Christian Girl, or to order a copy, go here.
Our culture teaches young girls to look at themselves as meat. I could dress that up by using less harsh language, but the dressing-up would be a lie.
From the time they are babies wearing trollop fashions, to the days when they sit in sex education classes that push dangerous contraceptives on them, including the morning after pill, young girls are taught that their first mission in life is to be sexually available and sexually used.
There is some linguistic dressing up of this message. It is termed "liberation" and "women's rights." But it's not. It's about using social pressure to coerce young girls into sexual behavior that, based on what quite a number of them have told me, they don't enjoy or find sexually satisfying. It is the old double standard, flipped over and made even more destructive.
Christian girls end up caught in a social and moral conundrum. On the one hand, they hear that sex outside of marriage is a sin. On the other hand, they hear that they have a "right" to use sex the same way that men use it.
This explanation degrades the girls, as well as the boys. Every one has a sex drive. Every one is more than their sex drive. People want things that hooking up not only can't give, but that hooking up prevents. Things like self-worth, love, commitment, stability and emotional security.
Even Christian parents have fallen into the trap of stripping the security of a stable home and consistent family interaction from their children's lives. Divorce destroys basic trust and security in children. Shooting from one activity to the next like a pinball destroys family time and inner peace. I won't even go into the tsunami of damage that drugs and alcoholism do to children.
It has reached the point that girls who grow up in a stable home with parents who give them love and attention are the ones who are out of step with the culture. They are the girls who seem odd and out of place.
When everyone else is talking trash and getting laid and doing drugs, they're the wallflowers who spend time in their dorm rooms or at home on Friday nights, wondering what, if anything, it profits them to live lives of purity.
Sex and the Single Christian Girl is written from inside that specific experience for those girls who live it.
The author, Marion Jordan Ellis, lived the life of growing up Christian and then throwing purity over for the hook-up culture. She experienced a radical conversion to Christ and then spent over a decade as a Christian single woman living in purity in a world that disses purity. When she finally met the Christian man who became her husband, she faced the new challenge of maintaining her chastity until she said "I do."
Mrs Ellis makes the important point that a laundry list of "Thou shalt nots" is not enough to give a person the strength they need to follow Christ in our post Christian culture. She applies this directly and specifically to the situation of, as the title says, Sex and the Christian Single Girl. But the idea is equally applicable to all Christian living in a world and society such as ours, that is aggressively hostile to Christian values.
We can't stand up to the culture by being against it. We have to be for something, and that something must be fueled by a deep and abiding passion. The answer Mrs Ellis offers is not the right answer, it is the only answer.
We are, all of us, beloved Children of the living God. Our lives are not our own. We belong to Him.
And we are worth more than the degrading behaviors that our culture teaches us are not only cool, but necessary and our "right."
Hook-up sexuality is self-abuse.
It's that simple.
Drug and alcohol abuse are a living death that, if they aren't stopped, lead inevitably to a real death.
Divorce is ripping asunder the one flesh of soul and spirit that God has created in Holy Matrimony. It damages our children irrevocably, as well as impoverishing and grieving the husband and wife.
The answer to all this, is, as Mrs Ellis says, that vision thing. We do not see ourselves as the immortal beings of light that we truly are. We do not understand that we are made for eternity in heaven and that our every action in this life either adds to that future or it doesn't.
Young women are worth more than the value our society has taught them to place on themselves. They are, first of all, Daughters of the King. They belong to Him and to themselves and, once they pass into adulthood, they are answerable to no one else. No one has the "right" to treat them as meat, including and most especially, themselves.
When I was little, I always knew, never doubted, that either one of my parents would die for me. I knew without a shadow or a flicker of doubt that my father would kill or die to protect me and that he would not hesitate about either one.
That is how parents feel and what they do. It is what our Father in heaven has done for us. When Christ hung on that cross at Calvary, that was God, dying to save each one of us. That is, as the Scriptures tell us, "the price" God paid for us.
Young women need to understand this about themselves and never forget it. Their salvation was bought at a great price that only a Father Who loved them would have paid. This culture teaches them that they are meat. But in truth and in fact, they are immortal beings of eternal light; daughters of the living God.
I recommend Sex and the Single Christian Girl to any young woman who is struggling with issues of chastity and self worth in this post Christian world. I also recommend it to parents of daughters who want to teach their girls how to live as the beautiful daughters of God that they are.

Research has long cited the ongoing gap that exists between the wages of men and women, and those of immigrants and native Canadians. The context for the debate tends to revolve around the valid and omnipresent issue of discrimination, but rarely is the economic impact of the wage gap emphasized — a significant oversight given the labour market constraints businesses face today.
Simply put, the underemployment and under-payment of women and immigrants disengages a valuable segment of the labour pool, leaving employers with an insufficient supply of well-trained, well-educated and highly skilled workers.
When it comes to closing the wage gap for immigrants, little progress has been made in recent years, reports Andrew Sharpe, executive director at the Centre for the Study of Living Standards, a not-for-profit economic research organization in Ottawa. "In fact it deteriorated for a long time, although it seems to have levelled off now. This may be a result of more immigrants coming from countries where English is not a primary language, or where their credentials are not recognized here."
A recent RBC Capital Markets update report on immigrant labour market outcomes in Canada confirms that over the past 30 years, economic outcomes for new immigrants to Canada have deteriorated substantially relative to those of the Canadian-born in terms of unemployment and wages. Depending on the geographical location in Canada, wage gaps between immigrant and Canadian-born workers can range from 6% to 26%.
This is happening despite the fact that immigrants to Canada tend to be highly educated, with more than 40% of incoming immigrants possessing a bachelor's degree or higher, compared with 17% among the Canadian-born.
Over that same period, the gap between men and women has narrowed substantially. Where it continues to exist, in many cases it is because more women work part-time or are voluntarily dropping out of the workforce.
"Women continue to earn less in the marketplace, although there are differing opinions as to whether it's based on direct discrimination or personal choice," says Krista Hiddema, partner with E2R Solutions, employment and labour law specialists in Toronto. "One of the difficulties is that job experience can only be gained through time, so when women leave for months at a time, they can fall back."
Depending on the work environment, wage dispersion can have a positive or negative effect on performance. It all depends on the context, explains Alison Konrad, professor of organizational behaviour at the Richard Ivey School of Business in London.
If a company needs people to co-operate and work on teams, broad pay dispersion serves as a barrier to productivity. Those making less will perform more poorly than team members that are paid more.
[np_widget id="32″ /]
Where individuals work independently and are compensated based on performance metrics, odds are they will be motivated to work harder. If a workplace has a good system that pays incentives for performance and has clear objective metrics, it can improve morale and retention, and reduce absenteeism and turnover.
Where there is real or perceived discrimination, however, employee performance suffers. Ms. Konrad cites a study in Sweden, where the public health system allows doctors to negotiate higher salaries. Generally speaking, male doctors are making more money than female, which in turn has affected attitudes. "Women that had male supervisors felt less supported by their organization," she reports. "Where a male was head of the organization, they believed they experienced more gender discrimination."
In addition, a Harvard study of women executives said women often felt unappreciated for what they did and were unfairly squeezed out of promotions. This may explain the fact that 52% of women with MBAs leave their workplace to do something more enjoyable. "It's not because they had children," Ms. Konrad says.
Ethnic discrimination definitely has a debilitating effect on work performance. A U.S. study done in a large retail company indicated perception of discrimination leads to negative behaviours, Ms. Konrad explains. "Workers didn't feel they were being supported, absenteeism was higher and performance, when on the job, was poorer."
It's actually quite simple, she adds. "The less fair a person sees a situation, the less satisfied and committed they are to their jobs, and the less trust they have in their organization or leadership. More likely than not, they're trying to find another job. That's really bad for motivation and retention."
With Baby Boomers leaving the workplace in droves, Ms. Hiddema contends Canada would be foolhardy not to step up its game in addressing the wage gap issue. "Whether it's giving women more flexibility or looking at ways to acknowledge immigrant education status, companies will need to do these types of things to attract and retain the best talent. Those that fail to embrace this concept and continue to underemploy people are only hurting themselves. Making things difficult for them simply doesn't make good business sense for anybody."
Turning a blind eye to dissent in the ranks does very little to improve productivity, she adds. "As soon as someone finds out they're earning less by the hour, you don't think they're upset? Of course they are. These people go to work because they have to, so they're not anywhere near as productive as they could be. And with social media sites like Rate my Employer, people can post things that could hamper your ability to attract and retain highly productive staff."
There are also hard costs associated with poor hiring practices. A September 2010 Career Builder study in the U.S., for example, indicated that 69% of employers reported bad hires lowered company productivity, affected morale and resulted in legal issues. In addition, 41% estimated that a bad hire cost the company more then $25,000.
A lot of employers make hiring decisions quickly and are too focused on filling the job and putting bums in seats, Ms. Hiddema says. "But that kind of expeditious hiring for short-term gains can come back to haunt you because you will have poor performers, and others in the organization picking up the slack."
Given the role the immigrant population will play in our future economy, it is short sighted to undervalue and underutilize their skills, agrees Dawn Desjardins, assistant chief economist with RBC Capital Markets in Toronto.
"These gaps could be playing a part in the fact that Canada falls short globally on productivity measures. It's important to address these issues so we can continue to attract workers and increase our competitiveness."
Ultimately employers have a social responsibility to drive the Canadian economy, Ms. Hiddema contends. "When everyone has the ability to make money, they're spending it. It's economics 101."
Alberta is often described as Canada's promised land, but it still has its fair share of challenges. The province's threats and opportunities will be explored every Tuesday in March. Join the debate at financialpost.com/productive-conversations or linkedin.com/company/conversations

Processed foods are convenient, but high in sugar, salt, fat, preservatives. So instead of commercial spaghetti sauce, salad dressing or cookies, make your own
Let's cook! (from scratch, of course)
MONTREAL – A number of surveys published of late regarding obesity, nutrition and cooking skills all point to the same facts: Canadians are getting fatter, we don't move enough, and our lack of cooking skills means we are relying on processed foods and fast foods like never before.
So despite the number of cooking shows on the airwaves, food magazines being published, fancy kitchens being built, and all the endless foodie talk, we are actually spending less time in our kitchens and more time in line waiting for our takeout fix. Grim.
The latest survey conducted by the Canadian-based Sobeys supermarket chain paints that exact picture. Results showed that only 31 per cent of young adults between the ages of 18 and 29 felt confident cooking, whereas 48 per cent of the 50-plus people surveyed felt confident behind the stove. That statistic might be explained by the fact that it takes years to become a good cook. And the lack of confidence is facilitated by the increasing ease with which we can opt for the ready-made. And are we ever. Studies show that more than 60 per cent of Canadians' diet is derived from processed or prepared foods, which are loaded with fat, sugar and sodium, and are poor in fibre. We all know that boxed mac 'n cheese isn't doing us any favours.
The seemingly endless barrage of diet, detox and other such calorie-curbing — Dr. Oz-like — advice provides a glaring contrast to the seductive images (a.k.a. food porn) provided by food corporations. Thoughts of planning a healthy, home-cooked meal go out the window when faced with that triple-stacked hamburger you first spotted on a billboard, later picked up at the takeout window, and maybe even polished off — with fries and soda — right in there in car. Hey, we've all been there.
A few pig-outs aren't going to kill you. But there is no doubt that eating that way every day contributes to obesity and chronic disease.
So what to do? How do we break this quick-fix, fast-food cycle?
According to Michael Pollan, the acclaimed activist and journalist whose books include In Defense of Food, The Omnivore's Dilemma and most recently, Cooked, what matters most about our health is, "not necessarily the nutrients good or bad of what were are consuming or staying away from, or even the calorie counts. But what predicts a healthy diet more than anything else is the fact that it was being cooked by a human being and not a corporation." Corporations use far more fat, salt and sugar than we would ever use in our own cooking, Pollan says. Cheap and attractive, these ingredients are layered together by the processed- and fast-food companies to create incredibly addictive foods that satiate our endless food cravings, much of what is triggered by all the food advertising around us.
Pollan is not so much against any particular food, but by making, say, french fries or pastries so convenient, food companies are removing the cooking time factor that makes something so tedious to prepare in our home kitchen readily available. "If you make french fries yourself," Pollan says, "you'll only eat them every six weeks or two months because it's too much work. But when you let corporations cook for you, it's so simple and so inexpensive that you will have them twice a day, which many people in America do. These special occasion foods become everyday foods when we let industries cook for us."
So how to we break this cycle? "Eat anything you want," Pollan says, "just cook it yourself."
Motivated by Pollan's words to get cooking, yet discouraged by the Sobey's survey that says that upcoming generations lack confidence in the kitchen, I came up with 10 recipes for food items that many purchase ready-made. Instead, why not try making them yourself?
Though many of us love to cook, there is also a chunk of the population who dread it. Considering the equipment needed, the time required, but most especially the know-how, that's understandable. But the most important factor in learning how to cook is simply to get going.
Yes, you'll make mistakes, burn some cookies, undercook the fish, but the key is to enjoy what you make and always try to improve. And here's a little secret for those who find cooking stressful: it's actually a great stress reliever. After a tough day, there is nothing I find more relaxing than concentrating on the task at hand (dinner!) and putting all those troubles aside while I cook. How great also to share your kitchen endeavours with friends and family once you're done.
Also, get the family involved. According to the Sobey's survey, cooking is more enjoyable when cooking skills are passed from generation to generation, and Canadians who cook with their parents are more likely to love cooking as adults. Food for thought.
These recipes are ideal for beginners, yet seasoned home cooks might also enjoy using them as a base and adding extras to suits their taste. Ultimately, what's important is not to fret over whether the cookies contain white sugar, whether the cream in the soup will add too many calories, or if we should really be starting the day with maple-syrup soaked pancakes. What's important is to cook for ourselves.

I usually don't like robots. Not my style, really. So what is it about these bots? The spunky ponytail made from wires? The CD hips? I don't know but I think I'm in love. Too bad these "girls" are only advertisements for a gym.
Made by Murilo Melo, its a series of posters for Companhia Athletica Gyms in Brazil. They're clever as hell, as the men and women in these posters are shaped and formed from the technology that makes us lazy: computers, tvs, video games, etc. The theme of the ad is to "switch your routine for ours", which makes so much sense I want to hug it. I do wonder if this is more effective than putting attractive humans on the poster though. For a behind the scenes look at how these were made, check out Troque sua rotina.

Reversing course on her previous stance against same-sex marriage, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has come out in support of gay matrimony. She announced her decision on Monday in a nearly six-minute video that was released by the Human Rights Campaign.
"For America to continue leading in the world, there is work we must do at home," Clinton said in the clip, citing the need to invest in national security and other domestic needs — and also to live up to ideals associated with the rights of gays and lesbians.
"LGBT Americans are our colleagues, our teachers, our soldiers, our friends, our loved ones — and they are full and equal citizens and deserve the rights of citizenship," Clinton continued. "That includes marriage."
