Donating on Razoo
Tax-Deductible Contributions to Charitable Causes
Donations made on the Razoo Website in support of Registered Charities, Projects of Registered Charities, or Charity Fundraisers (collectively, "Charitable Causes") are complete and final charitable gifts to Razoo Foundation and are not refundable. The Razoo Foundation is a tax-exempt public charity described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code which maintains a donor-advised fund. A donor-advised fund ("DAF") is defined by Congress as a public charity that receives completed gifts from donors while allowing them the privilege of advising on the distribution of their grant to other charities and charitable causes. Normally your donation to a Charitable Cause made through the Razoo Website goes to and will be receipted by Razoo Foundation as a donor-advised contribution. Razoo Foundation makes every effort to honor donor advisements and is authorized to do so for advisements to public charities appearing on the Razoo Website as Registered Charities. Occasionally, for specific fundraising events, Razoo will collaborate with other local public charities. In those cases, the event website and other publicity will indicate if contributions will be receipted directly by the local charity, instead of by Razoo Foundation.
It is Razoo Foundation's normal practice to regrant 93.1% less $0.30 per advisement to the qualifying tax-exempt entity and/or cause advised, and to retain 4.9% for platform costs and Razoo Foundation's expenses plus 2.0% and $0.30 cents per advisement transaction for credit card processing costs, a total of 6.9% plus $0.30 per advisement. A regrant to the advised charity and/or cause is generally made on the 10th of the month following receipt of the advised contribution in the previous calendar month (e.g, a donation on July 5th would be regranted on August 10th). Razoo Foundation makes every reasonable effort to respect the wishes of its donors. However, to comply with federal tax laws and Internal Revenue Service regulations, Razoo Foundation must retain the exclusive authority, discretion, and legal control over all donated funds. In the rare event that the charity you have advised does not satisfy Razoo Foundation's criteria or otherwise does not enable or accept payment (reasons for this include issues like: they don't or cannot accept donations, are not recognized by the IRS as a public charity, or are not in good standing with federal or state regulators, etc.), Razoo Foundation may select an alternate charity to receive your advised funds.
In certain instances, Razoo Foundation may retain an additional percentage to support the efforts of the charity partner in conducting a giving event. Any additional retained percent will be disclosed on the home page for the giving event and on the final checkout page prior to completing your donation. For more information please feel free to contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Charged Back or Refunded Donations
In accordance with IRS regulations, the Razoo Foundation enforces a strict "No Refunds" policy for contributions made to the donor-advised fund. However, the Foundation recognizes circumstances wherein reversal of transactions are necessary. These include Charge Back and Gross Error transactions.
A Charge Back transaction occurs when the credit card holder files a dispute with their bank stating that either they did not authorize or recognize the transaction on their credit card or bank statement. The Razoo Foundation staff will provide supporting documentation in an effort to resolve the Charge Back case in favor of the Foundation. However, if the Foundation is unable to resolve such cases and the case is referred to pre-arbitration, the Foundation will accept the Charge Back transaction. Further, the Razoo Foundation will, under its variance power authority, not regrant any funds to the advised organization that has been charged back. If the Charge Back funds have already been regranted to the advised organization, no attempt will be made to compel the organization to return the funds since the regrant of an advisement is considered complete and unrestricted. However, the Razoo Foundation will not issue any further regrants of donor-advised funds until it receives additional funds from donors or other sources advised for the organization equal to the amount of the Charge Back.
A Gross Error transaction occurs when then credit cardholder / donor makes a transaction for an amount grossly different than the intended amount. For example, a donor makes a $10,000.00 donation instead of $10.00 donation. A Gross Error transaction DOES NOT include advisements: made to the wrong organization or fundraising page, containing an incorrect name, dedication, or designation, or any other non-financial reason. The Razoo Foundation retains sole authority to determine the exact criteria of a Gross Error transaction. A Gross Error transaction refund will only be considered if Razoo Foundation has not yet regranted the funds to the designated organization (see "Tax-Deductible Contributions to Charitable Causes" section for more information on regrants). Once funds are regranted, the donor should contact the advised organization in order to attempt to correct the error.
Contributions to Personal Causes
You acknowledge that donations made to pages categorized as "Personal Causes" on the Razoo Website are processed by a designated independent payment processor (the "Processor"), and not Razoo or Razoo Foundation. All such contributions are non-refundable by Razoo and are made in your sole discretion and at your sole risk based on your sole determination and evaluation of the Personal Cause. You are solely responsible for determining the tax deductibility of any contribution. Your contribution to a Personal Cause is subject to the Processor's terms of use. Razoo is not liable or responsible for any errors or omissions caused by the Processor or failures on part of the Processor. Razoo's transaction rate for contributions to Personal Causes is 5.0% platform fee plus 2.9% and $0.30 credit card processing fee.
Credit Card Anti-Laundering Policy
Only the authorized credit card holder may donate on the Razoo Website. A third party may not use the donor's card information or enter donations on behalf of the donor. This practice is known as "credit card laundering" and violates Visa and MasterCard usage agreements. Razoo may report any such abuses to the appropriate authorities. This restriction does not preclude the use of computer terminals or kiosks, with access to the Razoo Website, for the authorized credit card holder to utilize in order to make a donation.
No Goods and Services in Exchange for Donations to Charitable Causes
Federal law prohibits charities from promising or providing goods and services (e.g., tickets to events or raffles) in exchange for making a donation to a donor advised fund such as Razoo Foundation. Razoo Foundation may only accept pure contributions and not part gift and part sale transactions.
Ultimate Responsibility for Donor Expressions of Preference about Use of Funds
The Razoo Website provides an opportunity for you as a donor to indicate preferences for specific use of the funds you donate in fields provided on the donation form. If you express such a preference, it will be noted in the donation report made available to the applicable Registered Charity Admin(s) and/or Fundraising Page Admin. However, indication of such a preference does not guarantee you that funds will be used in a manner consistent with any such preference, and neither Razoo nor Razoo Foundation are responsible for or will be held liable for the ultimate handling of such preferences. You hereby acknowledge that any designation of a donation's use is merely an expression of preference and does not give rise to any contractual obligations.
Giving Card Redemption
Redemption of a Giving Card represents an advisement for the regrant of funds that have been previously donated to Razoo Foundation and can be used for contributions to Charitable Causes. Giving Cards cannot be used to donate to Personal Causes on the Razoo Website. Giving Cards have no monetary value, are not refundable, and may not be sold. An advisement through redemption of a Giving Card is not a tax deductible contribution. It is Razoo Foundation's normal practice to regrant 93.1% less $0.30 per advisement of a Giving Card redemption to the qualifying tax-exempt entity and/or cause advised, and to retain 4.9% for platform costs and Razoo Foundation's expenses plus 2.0% and $0.30 cents per advisement transaction for credit card processing costs, a total of 6.9% plus $0.30 per advisement. A regrant to the advised recipient charity is generally made on the 10th of the month following receipt of the advised contribution in the previous calendar month (e.g, a donation on July 5 th would be regranted on August 10th). Razoo Foundation makes every reasonable effort to honor the advisements made through Giving Cards. However, to comply with federal tax laws and Internal Revenue Service regulations, Razoo Foundation must retain the exclusive authority, discretion, and legal control over all donated funds. In the rare event that the charity you have advised does not satisfy Razoo Foundation's criteria or otherwise does not enable or accept payment (reasons for this include issues like: they don't or cannot accept donations, are not recognized by the IRS as a public charity, or are not in good standing with federal or state regulators, etc.), Razoo Foundation may select an alternate charity to receive your advised funds.
You acknowledge that the prohibitions on receiving any personal benefits described in these Terms, equally apply when redeeming a Giving Card or making any other advisement on the Razoo Website.
Donor Information
Privacy and security of donor information is of vital importance to us. We will not share or sell names of donors without their consent. When you contribute to any cause on the Razoo Website, you grant us permission to access your donation records at any time and to use the information you provide to process your donation . Unless you indicate at the time of making your donation that you would like to remain anonymous, we or Razoo Foundation will make available to the Registered Charity and/or Fundraiser online reports identifying, where available, your name, address, email, and transaction accounting details.
If you are a Registered Charity Admin or Fundraising Page Admin, donor information will be shared with you via a report accessible on your Registered Charity Page or Fundraising Page on the Razoo Website unless the donor opts out and chooses to remain anonymous at the time of donation, in which case we will honor the donor's request for anonymity and not share the donor's identity.
If applicable, donor information will also be shared with organizations administering giving events in which the donor participates, unless the donor indicates at the time of making your donation that they wish to remain anonymous.
Razoo Foundation Reporting
If you receive a regrant of funds from Razoo Foundation, then you may request in writing a report from Razoo Foundation of aggregate contributions received over the course of the calendar year within 10 business days after Razoo Foundation receives the request. This information is also available online to all Registered Charities.

All things are possible to those who believe, and I do believe that the Middle East can live in peace someday.
What disturbs me most is when these people are referred to as religious groups. What religion is that, that teaches kill your neighbor, innocent women and children?
After 10 years it's time to bring our military home. We have demonstrated we can't take care of them after they have risked all to take care of us. They could be put to work in their own country building roads, bridges, alternative energies, etc.
Oh yes, the Middle East does need advisors, but no military ones. Let's send the Billy Grahams of the world, Pope Francis, Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, Rev. Jakes, religious leaders who could teach them love, tolerance, forgiveness, acceptance and respect for one another.
The radicals should be going to soccer games, Little League games with the family, picnics and parties. To them killing innocent women and children is their sport and their fireworks are car bombs, missiles, etc. There are generations in which that is all they know.
Killing begets killing.
Hatred begets more hatred.
Love begets love.
We are tired of seeing ones come home with missing arms and legs and scarred souls for life.
The motto around the world should be, "Let's give peace a chance."

Spanish papers remain fearful of fresh terrorist attacks, despite the arrest of eight suspected Islamic militants.
The German press has plenty of advice for workers protesting against planned job cuts at one of the country's largest car manufacturers.
And a Swedish paper expresses disgust at the latest bout of football violence.
Painful memories
Eight suspected Islamic militants have been detained in police raids across Spain since the start of the week. For El Pais, the arrests provide a firm reminder of the attacks on Madrid's railways back in March, which left 191 people dead.
"It would be very naive," the paper suggests, "to say that the threat of Islamist terrorism has receded in Spain."
The threat, it says, "remains very serious indeed".
They are "Islamic fanatics", who "prowl around the mosques", and, "in their 'hatred of the infidel', are willing to destroy anything to do with Western society".
ABC, meanwhile, is alarmed by the fact that the suspects are believed to have chosen the country's national high court as the target for an attack.
"The size and the objectives of the group give cause for concern," the paper says.
"They reflect Islamist terrorism's obsessive determination to hurt Spain."
"To face this threat," it insists, "we must mobilise all our political, judicial and security resources."
La Vanguardia welcomes the fact that the alleged plot was uncovered at an early stage.
But the paper warns that the police and the judiciary still face the difficult task "of proving that the men in custody really were plotting an attack".
"Conspiracy", it says, "provides sufficient grounds for conviction."
"But it will be difficult, if not impossible, to charge them with a crime they did not actually carry out, especially given the fact that no explosives have been found as yet."
Car trouble
Tens of thousands of General Motors employees in Europe protested on Tuesday at the car manufacturer's plans to cut 12,000 jobs. Germany's Der Tagesspiegel, however, questions just how much the demonstrations will actually achieve.
Workers at an Opel plant owned by the company in the German city of Bochum may feel better for taking part, the paper says, but that doesn't mean the redundancies won't happen.
"Opel is no longer Opel," it points out, "and certain products can no longer be manufactured in Germany at the same labour costs."
Management and workers alike realise companies "cannot sustain losses for years on end", it adds.
Opel employees may, however, be able to draw some consolation from the revival of another of the German motor industry's heavyweights.
"Almost bankrupt 10 years ago, Porsche is now the most profitable car manufacturer in the world," the paper notes.
"After all," the paper says, "management is not obliged to ask the works councils or trade unions for permission when it wants to shut down a plant."
If workers want to achieve their aim of safeguarding all production sites, protests alone are not enough, and they will have to "make compromises".
Poland's Trybuna believes the dispute over the job cuts reflects a broader trend.
"While transnational corporations are growing stronger, trade unions are growing weaker," the paper argues.
That, it says, is what is so noteworthy about "the international action of solidarity with the Opel workers" in Germany.
"Although the dismissals do not apply to Poland's Gliwice plant," it points out, "the action has spread here too."
"Were the Polish workers not to show solidarity now, they would not be able to expect the support of others in the future."
Terror on the terraces
Sweden's Dagens Nyheter wants drastic action to stamp out violence at football matches, after crowd trouble led to a 40-minute delay in the Stockholm derby between AIK and Hammarby.
"This is not hooliganism," it argues. "This is conspiracy to commit a serious crime which would have struck innocent people - an act of terrorism."
Football clubs, the paper believes, must be held responsible for the behaviour of their fans.
It suggests they should deposit a bond with the authorities, repayable if matches are played out peacefully.
This, it maintains, would make clubs try much harder to identify and ban the culprits.

Jennifer Hornbaker investigates a yoga class geared toward a fledgling bunch and shares her observations with those of us more young at heart than body.
It's tough being a kid these days.
For many, that statement elicits an eye roll and stories that begin with, "When I was a kid…" But regardless of one's opinions on the relative difficulties of childhood today versus yesteryear, there's no denying that growing up presents new and formidable challenges. In particular, the transition between elementary and middle school—that period when the mean kids adjust their tactics from dumping sand on innocent victims at recess to behind-the-back social warfare—requires a sense of humor and some fortitude.
Former third grade teacher Marilyn Pace is no stranger to the burdens of schoolchildren. With 20 years at Westwood View serving as her fieldwork, Pace has drawn upon her two passions, teaching and yoga, to help youngsters navigate the endless stream of homework, soccer games, piano lessons and sleepovers that makes up their lives.
"Yoga is about mind, body, and heart," she says. "It helps you stay focused on a task, it helps you feel good in your body, and it helps you feel good in your heart. That's sustainable for the lifetime. It's a time to just shut everything out, and it builds community with these kids. I think it's important to offer that early on."
A year and a half after holding her first children's yoga class in her home studio, Pace now conducts sessions for all ages, kindergarten through high school. Every class is full, including the fourth through sixth grade session that I've come to observe.
Considering that the attention span of most 10-year-olds I know does not make it through an entire song on the radio, much less an hour-long yoga session, I had assumed children's yoga would be free-for-all playtime, with the use of yoga mats qualifying the activity as "yoga." How wrong I was; Pace's educator background does not lie dormant in her yoga instruction.
Her class strikes a balance between structure and freedom, completely captivating her audience for a full 60 minutes. "I actually make up a lesson plan for each of my classes," she says.
The afternoon begins with participants seated calmly on their mats. Pace reminds them to inhale deeply with crisp imagery: "No bunny breathing." The class opens with a warm-up sun salutation song—to the tune of what else but "Yankee Doodle." A battery of fancy yoga terms comprises the lyrics, yet the children don't miss even a single pose.
Next comes a group activity that resembles a creative writing class as much as it does yoga. Partners receive a handful of cards, each with the name and illustration of a yoga pose on it, such as crow pose or arrow pose. Students work together to construct a short story from their card selection, their efforts culminating in performances of their narratives.
Just as I'm marveling at the students' rapt attention to detail, Pace's announcement that it's headstand time multiplies their excitement twofold. Marking off three spaces against the wall to use for support, she cautions that this activity will require turn-taking. "Now which three want to go first?" she inquires. All hands shoot into the air.
The mini yogis' enthusiasm for headstands is surpassed only by their adoration of something called shavasana. It doesn't take long to figure out why this practice is overwhelmingly the most popular part of the class. With the lights dimmed and soft music playing, the children lie down on their mats. Once they have attained a purposeful, deep breathing, Pace circulates to gently rub down shoulders with scented oil. To close, Pace whispers, "Everyone take one more deep breath of gratitude for all the good energy in the room." With a synchronized sigh, class is over.
While the children gently stir from their meditative states, I can't help noticing how refreshed I feel just from watching. "It invigorates you in a different way," says Lisa Silverman, whose daughter, Hirut, attends Pace's class regularly and occasionally even runs through some poses at home. "It establishes spiritual discipline. It gives the body a physical outlet but also instills mindfulness and peace. The benefits are far-reaching, and I think they will continue to be revealed over time."

Program Participation Behvaior Of Nonindustrial Forest Landowners: A Probit Analysis
This study provides an analysis of nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) landowners' participation in forestry assistance programs. A probit model was used for data collected from a random sample of 329 Indiana landowners. The analysis revealed that total land owned, commercial reasons for ownership, government sources of information, and membership in forestry organizations influenced NIPF landowners' program participation. Age, fear of loss of property rights, and duration since the first wooded tract was acquired also influenced program participation. Location of landowners' residence on their wooded land and landowners' knowledge of and willingness to participate in a conservation easement influenced the participation in cost –share programs.

Using Salvaged Materials To Build Micro Homes
Derek Diedricksen's tiny houses are surprisingly cheap and are made from discarded junk.
Derek Diedricksen builds small homes out of junk and when we say small, we mean really small. Take the "Gypsy Junker" for instance, which at 24 square feet, is the largest of his creations and uses everything from discarded shipping pallets to dumped kitchen cabinets to old washing machine spares in its construction, and has its bunk and heater running on vegetable oil. Or "The Hickshaw", a sleeper home which has its foundations on an abandoned cedar deck chair on wheels. The "Boxy Lady", at 4 feet high, is the smallest of his microhouses, and is basically a pair of plywood cubes mounted on a slab of wood, and features two wheels and a post leg, and again all of it coming from salvaged materials.
Diedricksen's creations, all of which have been set up in his own yard, were built at an expense of less than $200 each and while not too practical for everyone to live, can be taken as an inspiration for setting up environmentally-friendly homes with minimalistic features.
New York Times took a tour of his homes:
He leads the way down the hill to his backyard, where there are three structures of diminishing size, and shows the reporter into the Gypsy Junker. With a roof height that ranges inside from 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 10 inches, this is one that Mr. Diedricksen, who is 6-foot-4, can almost stand upright in, at least in some places. Like many a fancy camper, it also has a bump-out — an 8-foot sleeping pallet — although this bump-out is permanent. Guests can sleep on the four-by-six-foot floor, although if they are tall, they would have to sleep diagonally.
Sawed-off yellow, blue and green wine bottle bottoms make for a colorful lower-level window in the guest area, and there is a heating unit with an exterior vent built from a frying-pan base, with a broken brass cymbal that serves as a heat reflector. (Vegetable oil is the suggested fuel.) The most expensive items were the four sheets of corrugated plastic on the roof, which came to $80.

Les Stadelman, a 20-year-old Brimfield resident, was reported missing after police received a complaint at 2:39 a.m. Thursday from a Dairy Mart customer who noticed the convenience store, located at 1343 Tallmadge Road, was unattended.
"Stadelman is absolutely a suspect (in the theft), and we intend to issue a warrant for his arrest after seeking advice from the (Portage County) prosecutor's office," said Robert Burgess, chief of the Brimfield Police Department.
Stadelman, however, reportedly visited a friend in Akron Friday night and told her of his intention to leave Ohio, Burgess said.
"A gentleman called our department and said the suspect was visiting his daughter in Akron Friday night and that he was intending to flee the state," Burgess said. "Apparently, Stadelman was with several individuals, none with whom we have managed to contact."
Brimfield police received an unspecified number of other calls confirming the suspect's presence in the area.
A number of items were taken from the store between 1:30 and 1:45 a.m., including cash from the register, about $6,000 in money orders and roughly $1,500 worth of Ohio Lottery tickets, police said.
A question confronting investigators is whether Stadelman's acquaintances are connected with a 1989 gold Honda witnesses claim was at the Dairy Mart near the time of Stadelman's disappearance. A township police officer had contact with a vehicle matching this description in an unrelated incident about an hour before the clerk vanished.
"I think it's pretty safe to say he (Stadelman) is associated with the gold car," he said. "He didn't have any transportation of his own."
Police have spoken with a relative of the owner of the vehicle with license plate number AQD9875. The vehicle's registration traced to North Canton; the owner has not been seen since the incident, Burgess said.
Stadelman is white, 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs about 145 pounds. He has medium-length brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone with pertinent information concerning Stadelman or the theft at the convenience store is encouraged to call the Brimfield Police Department at 677-1234 or 673-7716.

neighbors sump pump drains onto my property
Who do I contact if the contractor does not fix my neighbors drainage onto my yard? Part of my yard is now saturated constantly
I'd start with the people next door.
If that does not work then I'd go to the building dept. if the house is still under constrution.
In most areas it's againt the law to do what there doing.
Are you in a subdivision? How old is the home?
Is the sump pump discharge line physically on your property?
The answer is fairly simple if in a fairly new subdivision. Every home is built with an approved grading plan. That plan is approved by the municipality and before the builder can get any deposits back, he must have an Engineer sign off stating the grading on the lot was done in accordance with the approved plan. Typically, all properties are graded to accomodate their own drainage. There are such things as mutual agreement drains but we will cross that bridge when you give more information.
FWIW, I deal with this stuff everyday.
If there are no approved grading plans, because the homes are older and that sorta thing wasn't done at the time, there is nothing stopping you from berming up that side of your property, not allowing your neighbours drainage to flow onto yours.
First go to your library and look in Nolo Press's book on Neighbor Law.
IIRC, it's likely that if you pitch your yard so that the water pools in his yard, you are liable.
My neighbor, who also drains his downspouts onto my property, has a "sense of entitlement" so I am waiting for him to move or die. This same sense allows him to take my newspaper if he can't find his.
Only contact the neighbor twice and then seek another avenue to correct the problem. After two times they can claim harassment.:(
Writers information is for discussion purpose only and should be confirmed by an independent source.
neighbors sump pump drainage
Thanks for your help. The home is around 60yrs old, same as mine. The drainage pipe was pointed directly at my property but the contractor temporarily fixed it to run parallel to my property but the flow is flooding that part of my yard now. My drainage pipe is in the front of my house and runs onto my property but away from my problem area(the basement). Why would his sump pump be putting out so much water, we haven't had any rain?

February 13, 2014 - From President McGuire: RE: Trinity is Closed on Friday, February 14 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Well, we really, really tried to think about being open tomorrow, and the campus is quite ready, thanks to our hard-working crews. But as we assessed the general conditions in neighborhoods, the likelihood of overnight freezing and more snow, and major school systems starting to close meaning children at home, we have decided that the most prudent thing for Trinity to do is to be CLOSED on Friday, February 14, tomorrow. We are also closed on Saturday, Sunday and Monday due to the previously scheduled President's … Continue reading

February 12, 2014 - We have just learned that D.C. has declared a "snow emergency" starting at 6:30 pm this evening. This means NO PARKING ON SNOW EMERGENCY ROUTES and any cars found parking on such routes will incur a $250 ticket and be towed at a cost of $100. Because Michigan Avenue is a snow emergency route, and because so many of our students park out there, we have decided that the most prudent thing to do is to cancel classes that start at or after 6 pm. This is a change from our previous announcement saying that classes would go on as … Continue reading

New book about Ninette de Valois launched at The Royal Ballet School
Ninette de Valois: Adventurous Traditionalist
More than 100 people from across the British dance world came to the Upper School in Covent Garden earlier this month to attend the launch event for a new book focussing on the life and influence of the School's founder, Ninette de Valois.
The book, entitled Ninette de Valois: Adventurous Traditionalist, is a collection of essays and photographs together with a DVD. The DVD features an astonishing 4 hours worth of material. The impetus behind the publication of this book was last year's conference of the same name – the first ever conference dedicated to de Valois. More than 200 delegates from every corner of the world attended the conference.
With the publication of this new book, there is now – for the first time – a collection of material about de Valois in one place with voices and opinions from a wide range of people: dancers, archivists, critics, teachers and academics creating an impartial array of informative and thought-provoking resources.
Ninette de Valois: Adventurous Traditionalist is edited by Professor Richard Cave and Dr Libby Worth, published by Dance Books and can be purchased online from their website and from Amazon :

Shanahan: Players adapting, showing more respect
BOCA RATON, Fla. – NHL senior vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan says he is bothered when he hears that players don't respect each other anymore because he has video evidence to the contrary.
Monday, he showed NHL general managers several video clips of players who had an opportunity to level a vulnerable player and didn't take the shot. In one example, the Boston Bruins' Shawn Thornton took a stride to his right to make sure he hit Montreal Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban from a far less dangerous position.
"Every night we see players making good decisions and better decisions (about delivering hits)," Shanahan said.
STORY: Hybrid icing gains traction
Shanahan showed video clips to explain how seemingly similar hits resulted in different rulings from him. When the clips were slowed down, Shanahan was able to demonstrate whether the player was trying to stop, whether he was being pushed from behind or whether he was making an acceptable hockey play.
He also disputed the suggestion that while head shots are down, kneeing, clipping and running the goalie is on the rise. The raw numbers of those penalties are roughly the same as last season, he said.
"It was a pretty positive message today," said Shanahan, who is in his first season as the league's discipline czar.
Shanahan told general managers that he believes NHL players are adapting to the new standards.
"I don't think we are in the punishment business," he said. "We are in the changing behavior business."
At the start of the season, hits were down slightly, to about 42 a game, probably because players were adjusting to new rules on boarding and head hits. But now they're up to about 45 a game, about the same as last season's all-time high.
Since rules changes were introduced after the lockout to speed up the game, hitting is up about 40%, according to league figures.
The league also reported that man-games lost to concussions is up significantly, but the number of concussions are roughly the same as last season.
The number of concussions caused by accidental collisions and fights were down and those caused by legal and illegal hits are up. A little more than 3% of all concussions were caused by fighting, according to NHL vice president of hockey operations Kris King.
"More man-games lost is because teams are more conservative in the way they are treating concussions," said Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland. "The second concussion is usually more severe than the first, so we are trying to be real more conservative."
King said the increase in man-games also stems from the fact that a few concussed players have been out for a long time.
"We are going to have concussions. We are never going to get it to zero," Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke said. "And the game wouldn't be worth watching if we get it to zero. What we want it to do is take out the unnecessary ones, the senseless ones."

text: RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Sept. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Stiefel, a GSK (NYSE:GSK) company, today announced that the US Food and Drug Administration has approved a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for Sorilux (calcipotriene) Foam, 0.005%. The sNDA expands the indication for Sorilux Foam to include the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis of the scalp in patients aged 18 years and older. It is not known if the product is safe and effective in people under 18 years old. "Studies have shown that in at least 50 percent of psoriasis cases, the scalp is involved," said Susan Learned, PharmD, MD, PhD, Medicines Development Leader, Dermatology Research and Development, Stiefel. "We believe this additional indication for Sorilux Foam will help meet the needs of both patients and physicians." The approval of Sorilux Foam for treatment of plaque psoriasis of the scalp was based on a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled pivotal Phase 3b study of patients with moderate scalp and body psoriasis. The most common side effects of Sorilux Foam were redness and pain of the treated skin areas. The incidence of these adverse reactions was similar between the body and scalp. It is for use on the skin only. It is not for facial, oral, ophthalmic, or intravaginal use. More information about the clinical trial results can be found in the Full US Prescribing Information at http://www.stiefel.com/content/dam/stiefel/globals/documents/pdf/US_Sorilux_Foam.pdf. About Plaque Psoriasis Psoriasis is a chronic (life-long) skin disease. It occurs when the immune system "speeds up" the growth cycle of skin cells. A normal skin cell matures and falls off the body in about a month. For people with plaque psoriasis, it can take only three or four days for new skin cells to develop. Instead of falling off, the cells remain on the skin and form thickened patches (lesions or plaques). While plaque psoriasis is a chronic condition, many patients experience times when their symptoms improve or worsen.

Q&A | After Anita Hill: What Has Changed About Sexual Harassment
This week marked 20 years since law professor Anita Hill testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee accusing then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment in a landmark case. We asked Kathleen Peratis, an employment discrimination attorney in New York, about how those hearings helped change the conversation about sexual harassment in the workplace today.
What was your reaction to the hearings as a discrimination attorney?
PERATIS: I remember it like I was watching a movie of my own life. I feel like I was holding my breath for the days of the hearing. It actually changed everything in my professional life. There was before Anita Hill, and there's after Anita Hill.
How would you describe the view of sexual harassment in the workplace before and after Hill's testimony?
For years, as the theory was being developed that there was such a thing as illegal sexual harassment ... the idea that it was illegal for a boss to make sexual advances — or the idea that having a sex-charged atmosphere in the office — the idea that both of those things were not illegal and they were just the personal peccadilloes of the people involved and that the women should just grow up and develop a sense of humor, all of those things were turned upside down and inside out by the Anita Hill hearings.
But even now, I once in a while deal with an adversary in a matter in which I'm representing a woman who's claiming a hostile environment or sexual harassment, and the adversary says to me, "Why didn't she just quit if it was so terrible?" So I deal with exactly that all the time, even in 2011, but much less often.
What changed about the way that you practiced sexual harassment law after Anita Hill?
What changed was, first of all, the claim of sexual harassment began to be understood as a legitimate and serious claim of workplace discrimination. It wasn't just a boys' club and boys behaving badly, and the woman should just develop a sense of humor and get over it. At the point of the Anita Hill hearings and after, you could actually have a serious, grown-up conversation and claim without being ridiculed — that that kind of behavior was and should be illegal. That it should be as illegal as firing someone because they're black.
At the time of the hearing, what laws were on the books about sexual harassment in the workplace?
Title VII, the employment discrimination law, existed, which outlawed sex discrimination, which outlawed discriminating against a person because of her gender or his gender. ... Nobody interpreted it to cover not promoting a woman because she refused her boss' sexual advances. Nobody really thought in terms of a sexualized atmosphere and the demand for sexual favors as being sex discrimination. It was just something that happened in the workplace.
In general, how far do you think we've come in recognizing workplace harassment in the past 20 years?
We've advanced a million miles by understanding that at least it's a credible claim. And there will be arguments and there always are arguments about the facts, but if a woman opposes sexual advances or complains about a sexualized atmosphere — it's pretty widely understood that that is illegal. Twenty-five years ago, that simply was not the case.
Kathleen Peratis is an employment discrimination attorney and a partner at the firm Outten and Golden. She is also co-chairing a one-day conference this weekend at Hunter College called "Sex, Power and Speaking the Truth: Anita Hill 20 Years Later."
