Can my job refuse to accept a medical excuse signed and authorized by a physician?
Question Details:
Yes. Your physician has no legal authority over your job. That said, if you otherwise qualify for it, you could take unpaid leave (up to 12 weeks) under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)--basically, if you've been a full-time employee for a year, you most likely qualify, if you need time off to recuperate or for medical treatment, and IF your employer has at least 50 employees). If you are disabled (which means a disability affecting life and lasting at least 6 months) but can still do your job--the same job you were hired for--with "reasonable" accomodations, your employer would have to provide you those accomodations. Reasonable accomodations are changes in procedure or process, or the provision of assistive technology, which is not too expensive or disruptive, such as letting a cashier with leg problems sit instead of stand; providing a larger, magnified computer screen for someone with vision problems; etc.
However, those are your only rights: to leave under FMLA (or a similar state law), or reasonable accomodations for a disabled person. Otherwise, the employer can insist that you be able to show up for work and do your job; and fire you (or anything short of firing: e.g. demote, suspend, etc.) if you can't. The doctor, again, has no authority over your job.

Our Beginning
The World Evangelistic Enterprise Corporation was incorporated in March 1961, "to own, maintain, and operate such non-denominational Christian ministries as deemed advisable in order to propagate the Gospel wherever possible."
The first project was Radio Station WEEC, which began gospel broadcasting on December 15, 1961. Though the Corporation has always been non-profit by design, WEEC operated its first year as a Christian commercial station.
Out With The Old, In With The New!
On December 15, 1962, all commercial announcements and secular music were eliminated. From that time, approximately 80% of its programming has been Christian, and 20% Public Service and News. The station is now entirely supported by free-will contributions. An Annual SHARATHON is held each March, to raise Pledges for the next year's operation. The Corporation is Tax Exempt, and is a qualified 501(c)(3) organization. The mission of WEEC is to glorify God by using communications technology, with excellence and integrity, to lead the lost to Jesus Christ and the Christian into a closer walk with Him.
The Lord's Provision
For over 50 years WEEC has been beaming Christian and public service programs to people within a general radius of 75 miles from Springfield, Ohio. The Lord has provided funds in a marvelous way down through the years, and we praise Him for His Provision, His Salvation, and His Instruction to all of us who listen.
As part of its "world" outreach, the ministry provides partial monthly support for two missionary families, both involved with international broadcasting and communications.
The Corporation is governed by a Board of Trustees, all of whom donate their time.
World Evangelistic Enterprise Corporation is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, and audited financial statements are available upon request.

Syria: older refugees suffering in silence
1 October 2013
Today, on International Day of Older People, CAFOD warns that the plight of older refugees from Syria is being ignored.
Forgotten Voices, a new report by our partner Caritas Lebanon, shows that many older Syrians are suffering in silence, making huge sacrifices for their families at the expense of their own health.
Alan Thomlinson, our Emergency Manager for the Syria Crisis, said: "The world has been shocked by the plight of Syrian children. But older Syrians are facing – if anything – an even greater catastrophe.
"Imagine if your grandparents saw their home being bombed and their friends killed. Imagine them losing their possessions and their life savings. Imagine them trying to start again with a nothing in a foreign country, with nowhere to live and no access to healthcare. That's the reality for hundreds of thousands of older Syrians today.
"With winter approaching, many will face a desperate few months, living in tents or derelict housing in plummeting temperatures.
"It's vital to listen to their concerns and make sure that they receive the support they so desperately need."
Donate to our Syria Crisis appeal>>
The report shows that a staggering 87 per cent of older refugees in Lebanon can't afford the medication they need. Many suffer from existing health conditions, for which they can't get treatment. For others, the stress of what they've been through is causing hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. 66 per cent describe their health as bad or very bad.
Many are also suffering from trauma and mental health issues. More than 60 per cent of those interviewed reported feeling anxious, while significant numbers said that they felt depressed, lonely and like they were a burden to their families.
Ahmad is a 67-year-old refugee whose home near Damascus was bombed. Today, he is living as a refugee in Lebanon, sharing a small room in a half-built block of flats with seven other people.
He said: "Life here is very hard. We have no money, so we can't afford anything. I suffer from heart disease, but I have no medication.
"Caritas have given us food, mattresses and blankets, and nappies and food for the babies. But we need so much more.
"It is humiliating to leave your home at my age. It is hard to live when you have lost your dignity."
We are working with Caritas Lebanon and other local partner to support people in need of all ages. Our partners are providing food, clothes, relief supplies, blankets, shelter and heaters for the winter.

All about the scarf, baby

*dances around* YAY! The boob fairy made her appearance - and still managed to miss me. D'oh! I'll settle for ogling Karisu-sama's manly chest. LOL
You know, I never thought of baby oil before. Although I have used major body lotion & even hair conditioner at one point. Of course, I never stuck duct tape to my chest, either. I figured if little band-aids could rip off skin and scar me, then there was no way in hell I was going to even try the industrial stuff! X_X
Hmm. Never thought about the vertical anchor strip, either. Will definitely have to try that. Don't know why the hell I didn't think of that!
/off-topic/ Yup. If you were at Jarod's bday party, and ate any of the cookies (oatmeal or double-chocolate mocha) then you did eat some of the yummies that I made. I baked 'em and shipped 'em over since there was no way in hell I was going to make it to AX. (Music gigs always come first, and summer is the season for them. Gotta make use of my degree!)

Judging from the evidence, the sound of happiness is 29 ukuleles playing I'd Do Anything from the musical Oliver! in a bar in east end Toronto. It's a Wednesday night at the Dominion, the pub where the Corktown Uke Jam has met each week for the past five years. Twenty-nine amateur ukulele players – more than 100 can turn out – are blissfully gazing at an overhead projection of chords and music, strumming, singing and (yes) beaming.
This is astonishing for many reasons: the economy, the situation in Ukraine, the mayor. But it is especially astonishing because we are talking about the ukulele: the underdog of instruments, the plinking laughingstock of the music world.
They're everywhere these days.
There's one in Her, the movie that won Spike Jonze an Oscar. Ukuleles pop up on TV whenever a hipster wants to convey the idea that he will happily behead a baby boomer, but also has a soul. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder released an album of ukulele songs.
Google ukulele, you get 10 million hits (a solo is so easy to upload, they should rename it UkeTube.). One of those hits, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain's dainty version of Ennio Morricone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, has been downloaded more than six million times. Ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro's cover of George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps has been downloaded 13 million times.
Between 2010 and 2012, the number of ukuleles sold every year in North America jumped from 581,000 to more than a million.
The question is why. Is the rise of the ukulele the final nylon twang of Western music's decline into lax mediocrity – the American Idol-driven notion that anyone can be a musician? Or is the uke boom the tip of a new flowing freedom for all? Does our fresh love of a cheap, portable, simple instrument prove what George Bernard Shaw predicted – that hell will be full of amateur musicians?
These are questions musicians and ukulele enthusiasts argue about these days.
Ukuleles have been flying out of music stores. Brian LeBlanc, manager of the guitar section at Remenyi, a high-end store across from the Royal Conservatory of Music in downtown Toronto, calls it a "mania." Ukuleles outsell guitars three to one.
Five years ago, a good ukulele cost anywhere from $500 to $5,000. The Eddy Finn, the store's newest line – themed on Hawaiian surfing, made in China – starts at $79. Mr. LeBlanc sells three a day, and has unloaded another 600 to public schools, where the ukulele is replacing the mind-numbing recorder as the noisemaker of choice in compulsory music classes.
They're being played, too. Mathew Roberts, a classically trained double bass player and music teacher in Toronto, maintains "ukulele is making up 50 per cent of my students right now." They range from mid-20s (mostly female) hipsters to seniors staving off arthritis. TD Canada Trust even asked him "to do a corporate ukulele workshop."
"I think it's just that the ukulele is fun to play, it's really easy to play, it's cheap to buy, and it's portable," Mr. Roberts says. And, Mr. LeBlanc says, "with a ukulele there's nothing you can't play." His store sells a wide range of songbooks for ukuleles, including the Best of Metallica.
Historically, this is the ukulele's third bout of popularity. Introduced from Peru to Hawaii in 1879, the ukulele took off during the Depression, when Tin Pan Alley and the movies capitalized on its simple authenticity, and again in the surfing-obsessed 1950s. But by the 1970s, the electric guitar and Tiny Tim had reduced the instrument to a joke.
The current round of uke madness was spawned when the late Israel Kamakawiwo-ole's pared-down ukulele version of Over the Rainbow went platinum in 2005. The 2008 recession fuelled the rest of the revival.
Not everyone's a fan. Brian Katz, an adjunct professor of musical education at the University of Toronto and York University, sees the phoenician rise of the ukulele as more evidence of popular music's decline into "pared-down chords, in terms of where popular music is heading, harmonically. Not a lot of chord changes. Rhythm is the big thing." Compare Mr. Kamakawiwo-ole's Over the Rainbow to Keith Jarrett's piano version and you will hear what he means. "We're in this time when people think anyone can be a musician. … People just don't apply themselves the way they used to."
But the ukulele boom may answer a deeper, technology-related longing. Back at the Corktown Uke Jam, Andrée Boiselle, a 38-year-old associate professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, is strumming her way through a uked-down version of Billy Joel's Piano Man with jam founder Steve McNie. "This is an analog escape in a digital world," Mr. McNie, a former cellist, likes to say.
Ms. Boiselle agrees. A former lawyer in Montreal, she now spends her days deep diving through aboriginal land claims as a legal scholar. She laboured unsuccessfully at the piano for six years; the ukulele came as a revelation. "I think it's because of the way we're taught as a kid on the piano, with an eye to attaining a form of perfection. Which is so far from my experience of the ukulele. I would never have thought I could join a jam."
Now she does, weekly and willingly. "A lot of my communication at work is with a remote community that I can only access through various media," she explains. Her ukulele, on the other hand, "is the ability to make connections in a direct human way."
The antidote to digital life is a uke jam. The only requirement, Ms. Boiselle says, is that you be willing, "for an hour or two at a jam, to follow. People like me are quite aware that we have to be really good at what we do for a living. So it's a huge relief to not have to specialize and become part of an elite." Plink to that.Report Typo/Error

Our kids love helping in the kitchen--so, when I saw this darling and delicious project from Mom Endeavors, I knew we just had to try them. Making them is a very special treat! Trust me: it's hard to go wrong with a craft that involves two kinds of chocolate!
Put the chocolate chips in the zip-lock bags. Fill two glasses with hot water and immerse the bag in the water to melt it. FYI: 1 cup of chocolate chips makes 4-5 treats.
Now is the time to make the spooky spider. Squeeze some of the melted chocolate out in the center and make the spider the desired size. We live in Florida so we made the spiders pretty big (and we love chocolate!).

The Cushman Collection & more
The National Museum of Natural History serves as the largest repository in the world of foraminiferal type specimens with over 16,000 primary type specimens (holotypes and paratypes), searchable on-line, with graphics and over 200,000 secondary type specimens. It represents probably three-fourths of all the type specimens of the American smaller foraminifera, nine-tenths of those of the American Mesozoic and Cenozoic larger foraminifera, and a very large proportion of species from abroad that have been described in this country. Information about these specimens and some SEM images are available through the Online Catalog. There are also Planktic Foraminifer Dictionaries of the most recent genus-species synonyms
The largest single foraminifer collection at the NMNH is the Cushman Collection of Foraminifera. The bulk of this collection was willed to the Smithsonian Institution by Dr. Joseph A. Cushman, and was accessioned in 1951. It originally consisted of genera and species of mostly smaller foraminifera, and included approximately 150,000 mounted slides, 25,000 type slides and figured specimens. Many additional identified primary and secondary type slides from foraminifer researchers worldwide have been added to what is known as the Cushman Collection since it came to the NMNH. Notable among these are primary type and secondary type specimens designated by A. Loeblich and H. Tappan, P. Brönnimann, H. Bolli, P.J. Bermudez, J.-P. Beckmann, F. L. Parker, F. B Phleger, and E. Pessagno. The largest segment of the collection consists of specimens identified by a variety of researchers, including hypotypes that were illustrated in Loeblich and Tappan's 1964 and 1988 treatises, their volume on foraminifera from the Timor Sea, and other works.
Collections of smaller foraminifera associated with the Cushman Collection
- H. Deaderick Collection: identified slides and sieved residues; mostly Cretaceous samples from Arkansas;
- Ruth Todd Collection: identified slides and sieved residues; mostly Jurassic-Recent samples from North America and localities worldwide;
- Albatross Expedition Collection (1907-1910): identified slides and sieved residues with Recent foraminifera from Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean dredges;
- Richard Cifelli Collection: identified slides and sieved residues; Jurassic-Recent samples from North America and plankton tows from the Atlantic Ocean;
- Allen Bé Collection: Neogene-Recent identified slides, piston core sample residues, plankton tow residues from Atlantic and Indian Oceans;
- Al and Helen Loeblich Collection: Paleozoic-Recent unsieved residues and identified type slides from North America and localities worldwide;
- Irene McCulloch Collection: identified slides of Recent foraminifera from off the California coast;
- S. Geroch Collection: foraminifera from the Carpathian Mountains, including some paratypes and metatypes of Geroch species;
- Jim Mello Collection: identified slides and sieved residues of Jurassic-Recent foraminifera;
- F. van Morkhoven Collection: figured hypotypes from Cenozoic Cosmopolitan Deep-water Benthic Foraminifera (F. van Morkhoven, W.A. Berggren, A.S. Edwards (eds.), 1986 Elf Aquitane, Pau);
- Ellis and Messina Collection (formerly at the American Museum of Natural History): few identified slides; a large set of washed residues from localities worldwide. This collection is cross-referenced in card catalog files by collector, by locality, and by age.
Some of the collections of larger foraminifera include:
- Thomas Vaughan Collection: oriented thin sections of Mesozoic and early Cenozoic larger foraminifera mostly from North America;
- Paul and Esther Applin Collection: well samples, oriented thin sections, and microslides of Mesozoic and Cenozoic larger foraminifera;
- W. Storrs Cole Collection: oriented thin sections of Cenozoic larger foraminifera and raw samples from localites worldwide;
- Raymond Douglass-Lloyd Henbest Collection: oriented thin sections of fusulinids from North America and localities worldwide.
Other microfossil collections associated with the Cushman Collection include:
- primary type slides of radiolaria, thecamoebians, and chitinozoa;
- Helen Foreman Collection: Mesozoic radiolarians on strewn slides and acid residues;
- DSDP/ODP Micropaleontological Reference Center Collection: foram inifer sieved residues, calcareous nannofossil smear slides, radiolarian strewn slides, diatom strewn slides, and lithologic smear slides from Deep Sea Drilling Project and Ocean Drilling Program cores worldwide (Legs 1-144).
Many of the collections listed above include the donors' research notes and libraries. The largest of these is the Ruth Todd Memorial Library, which began as Joseph Cushman's library and was continued through the efforts of Ruth Todd and Doris Low. This includes over 25,000 books and reprints on foraminifera, and a card catalog of over 98,000 species cards (including bibliographies, species descriptions, and specimen images).

Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media is not happy with Karl Rove. In the wake of the death of Nelson Mandela, Rove wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal about the world leaders who died in 2013 and — gasp! — he said nice things about Mandela. Kincaid gives the usual far-right response:
Referring to Nelson Mandela, Rove says he "spent 26 years in prison before emerging to end apartheid and serve as the first president of a multiracial South African democracy." However, Mandela's debt to Soviet communism, which armed his movement, went unmentioned in Rove's Wall Street Journal column. Rove also failed to note that the communists who run South Africa today counted Mandela as one of their own. The "democratic" South Africa of today is effectively a one-party state, and the white minority is under siege and facing genocide.
Rove writes that Mandela went "on trial for his life," neglecting to mention that he was convicted of terrorism and could have been hanged for his crimes. Instead, Mandela received a prison sentence. The white government was actually quite lenient and offered to release him if he would renounce violence and terrorism. He never did. His terrorism cost innocent lives.
See, here's the thing about these accusations of terrorism: It's only "terrorism" if one supports the government that acts of violence were used against. Kincaid surely had no problem with Yitzhak Shamir, who committed acts of violence in helping to create Israel. In fact, Accuracy in Media had a glowing column devoted to Shamir when he died. He didn't have any problem with the Nicaraguan Contras, who committed a vast range of violent attacks and human rights abuses. In fact, he used to work for one of Ollie North's "patriot" organizations. So why are those people heroes while Mandela is a terrorist? Because Kincaid supported the white apartheid government of South Africa, I'm betting.

A New York politician called police on 13-year-old boys for selling cupcakes in a public park without a license, the Journal News reports today.
In hindsight, said New Castle Councilman Michael Wolfensohn, maybe he shouldn't have called the law, though he said police are trained to handle such matters.
The boys, Andrew DeMarchis and Kevin Graff, had done a brisk business selling treats in a Chappaqua park last month when an apologetic officer arrived and sent the boys packing since they didn't have the required paperwork.
The newspaper, working through Freedom of Information requests to find out who reported the boys to police, published the story today.

Rumors of My Death Have Been Greatly Made Up Out of Whole Cloth
Erick at selfparody.org: "And now those opposed to Ben have googled prior writings that on the surface appear suspicious, but only because permissions obtained and judgments made offline were not reflected online by an out dated and out of business campus newspaper. But that's all the opponents want – just enough to sabotage a career, though in the process they will sabotage themselves. Facts have no meaning. Only impressions have any bearing on this. The charges of plagarism are false, meant to bring down a good and honest man. The presented facts to prove plagarism are specious — products of shoddy work. One could easily think the producers of 60 Minutes II were behind them." (This really is a remarkable paragraph, which gets funnier with repeated readings. Yes, what an unusual technique–proving plagiarism by pointing out that what appeared under someone's byline first appeared elsewhere! There's somebody whose opinion about what constitutes "shoddy journalism" I'll take seriously…)
William & Mary's The Flat Hat: "Late Thursday evening, several widely-read internet weblogs reported that a former College student plagiarized at least two articles while he worked as a writer for The Flat Hat. According to the websites Daily Kos and Atrios, phrases and full sentances of these articles were similar, and in some cases identical, to those of other authors. Ben Domenech, a student who enrolled in the College in 1999, is currently a blogger with Washingtonpost.com. While Domenech deserves the benefit of the doubt until all of the facts are known, if true, his actions would be deeply offensive to us as journalists and as students…The College's honor code, the oldest in the country, is one of our most cherished traditions. It ensures our community of trust, allowing us to enjoy un-proctored exams and the ability to leave our personal belongings without fear of theft."
The paper has gone out of business in the last few hours? Wow–you'd think they'd at least finish out the semester…

Duck report on the Mo. River. Small numbers but have watched for 3 days as the big groups head up river to dump out in Homer NE corn fields. I would say best places to catch them would be just north of the power plant stacks all the way up past weedland boat ramp.
Flights have switched to late pm. Honkers doing the same thing.
Have been down to badger seen lots of geese but few ducks. Saw lots of open water and that includes Blue.
Big reservoirs up in the Dakotas are holding the ducks folks and we need single digits to shrink their swimming hole and force the bulk of the ducks to the river.
Could see some early bail out birds by Friday but certainly by Monday.

To have brothers play on the same team in the Big Leagues happens every now and again, but you hardly see a pair as good as both B.J. and Justin Upton are. What the Upton brothers are doing so far during their first year together for the Atlanta Braves is truly special. They are big reasons why Atlanta is 15-5 and has the best record in baseball.
Last night, the Braves played a double-header in Colorado against the Rockies and the Upton brothers hit back-to-back homeruns. This marks the first time since 1938 that brothers hit back-to-back homeruns in a game, according to USA Today. Lloyd and Paul Waner were the last to do so.
This was Justin's major league-leading 11th home run of the season, as the Braves swept the double-header in Denver. Following the game, Justin said this was the first time they had ever hit back-to-back home runs on any level. They picked a great time.

The Upton brothers hit back-to-back homers against the Cubs on April 6th to win the game. How is this the first time since 1938 that this happened?
Nevermind.. I guess Heyward had an at-bat in between them.

Family gets unexpected medical help
"The chronic liver disease is what at the moment can kill him," says Margi Craig, but after fighting through the state's red tape, her husband has more time.
Medicare reform has put limits on the amount of prescriptions people get per month. Tuesday, we told you about John Craig.
He couldn't get the medicine he needs to stay alive. But, after our story he got some unexpected help. State Representative Chapin Rose made a few phone calls, and in just a few hours, he got farther than the Craig's did in several days.
John has a host of health problems. Just for liver disease, he takes $9,500 worth of pills per month. After the changes getting more than 4 refills has to be approved. Craig signed up but says the doctors office claimed it would be weeks before it went through.
Chapin Rose called the Department of Human Resources and found out they could have gotten the medication. There was a miscommunication and they got their refill just in time.
"It's just sad that people have to fight for what they need. I know there's people out there that abuse the system, but I don't think everyone should suffer for what some do. He's got a lot to live for. We're not letting him go, not any time soon," says Margi.
Rose says they applied for approval on October 1, 2012, and got it on the 4th. Somewhere in the week that information got lost. He's not sure how or why but says the state is still working out the system's kinks.
Craig says they still need help. The liver medication was the only one of 12 other prescriptions which aren't covered. She had to pay $95 for one and that times twelve. It's money they just don't have.

Puro Poznan Stare Miasto
Top Business Hotel
Stawna 12, Poznan, Wielkopolskie
0.4 km from
Good breakfast, in a room with a nice view over poznan. Friendly staff, Excellent apartment, good parking underground.
Ideally situated for the main city centre and a short taxi journey to the airport. I have stayed at this hotel on two occasions now.
Excellent room, modern and clean. Very central location in Poznan. Friendly staff. No complaints - it was a first class hotel
The hotel was spacious, comfortable, fully equipped, with a delicious breakfast in a sunny room overlooking the whole city rooftops. Perfect for the travellor who needs to unwind quietly after a busy day.
Walking distance to the Old Town Square and other amenities. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast was excellent and provided a good start to the day. One of the lifts was out of order briefly.
Its was very modern and clean. Very nice stile and quite. Good space and very good breakfast. I travel very much, and this is one of the best hotels. Maybe miss a bar or so in the reception area, but not very big miss, since the city just outside the door. But thats the only miss, some area with sofa to meet people at the hotel.
Location, price. Some of apartaments r not renovate. I had 2 change one for this after renovation and only this one I recommend. There's no shower in bathroom only a little bathtub :(
I liked the staff I met there. I was in love of paulina and olla and if I were gay, I will get married with roman but unfortunately im not by now. :-) Yesssss!!!!!! Paulina is going to get married on may and olla has italian boyfriend. No single girls in the reception
location bang in centre excellent buffet breakfast perfict for city break very friendly staff nothing to much trouble i will stay again not a problem for me but if are are not used to traffic noise this could be disturbing. trams from 6.30am -11.30 pm every few mins. and hotel opposite hospital amberlances blues and twos almost none stop. but after all its a brill city centre location this is expected.if you want quite go outside city
The staff of this hotel were really friendly and helpful, the room was very spacious and the position of the hotel very central
The location was perfect for our visit. Ideally situated for the old town square which is where we wanted to be. Bar did not appear to be open at night for a drink when we arrived I know it was 10pm but would have thought it would have still been open, there was not mention of the restaurant either
Good Location : We can visit several sight seeing spots ( Square of Old Town, many theatres, museums, and agreeable parcs, etc. ) from this hotel, about 2 - 10 minutes by walk to go there. Though it's far from rail station ( Poznan Glowny ) by walk : at least about 20 minits, but we can go nearby this hotel easily by Tram no.5, about 10 minites. Staff : Very good receptionists. They are all kindhearted and did there job quickly, smoothly. Room : Very large and confortable ! Big bathtub and king sise bed, with separate living room. A littre worried about ... It hasn't safe box for valuables in the guest room. (But reliable receptionist keeps them at the reception, so may be not need to be worried)
I liked my room and the services of the Hotel. The breakfast was also very nice. Mainly all staff was nice too.
location,cleanliness,the staff were always willing to help with questions and ringing taxis etc,breakfast is served unyil 11 so we didnt have to get out of bed too early.
As the majority of restaurants and activity takes place around the old market square this hotel was perfectly located to the square. The room itself was as advertised on the internet in terms of space and the facilities such as the buffet breakfast were good given the price paid for the room. No hairdryer in the bedroom, I understand they possibly had previous issues with the two pin problem but nowadays most travellers are equipped with such gadgets and to specifically not allow them in the listing for the room (razors only) was disappointing, however, the Hotel did accommodate us when we requested one at Reception but all other friends staying in nearby hotels all had such a facility in their room.
Central location, professional service
Good breakfast, nice big bathroom, mostly very helpful staff (there is always one bad egg...) Double bed was not really a double but two singles put together, and when a different room was arranged it was the same. in the end we didn't mind too much...
the peace and quiet no kettle in the room
Location is excellent. There was no air condition in the room and it was impossible to sleep. The room faced the street and it was noisy and hot.
Central, clean and reasonable Desk staff quite officious
Very good help
The friendliness and warmth of the hotel staff (Kamila and the team) were fantastic. We have stayed in lots of hotels in the past 10 years, and they were easily the best.
The hotel is in the great place, rooms are clean and nice. Stuffis helpfull, i would recomend this hotel to everyone traveling to Poznan.
Fantastic location, in the heart of the town and minutes away from the town square. Don't miss the goats at noon.
privacy of the apartment strong smell of refuse in the downstairs entrance.
The location is very convenient to see the old city and many beautiful places around. The staffs are so nice, kind, and friendly. They always provide good services, info. Since there is a bar downstairs, so a bit noisy during the night but i don't mind at all. Around the hotel, so many good restaurants (i.e. Sushi, Mexican, especially the best Polish restaurant Aventis with traditional polish plate, so good).
Very nice and spaceful room for 4 people. Ideally located in the heart of the old city. Price unbeatable !
Excellent location. Friendly staff
I thought that the Reception staff were exceptional. 24hr service is great, great knowledge of local restaruants. There were waititng for us with the breakfast much longer than opening hours which was really nice. The apartament was really spacious with good bathroom and very hot shower! And the most amazing location ever - old town of Poznan just round the corner. In the heart of all great clubs, caffes and attractions of Poznan. It has been bit noisy as there is a great Latino pub next to Hotel but absolutely acceptable.
location lack of space
Position is perfect if you want to stay in the city center. People who works at the hotel and the restaurant are very nice also. Wireless connection sometimes gave me problem...
Close to the center but still quiet, charming atmosphere, friendly staff. Everything was OK.
The location(just off the old square not noisy) ,and Breakfast(lovely bread & almond croissants and a decent variation of Hams/Cheeses. Swipe cards for door security were problematic,Towels not cleaned properly,No Hotel services list in the room,no hooks on shower door,Little details,but annoying,probably because I feel the hotel does have great potential.
Great Hotel. To repeat. No elevator.
Food at the restaurant was excellent and well priced. Windows not noise proof enough.

By 5 months old, DS seemed much less happy and had dropped multiple major percentile lines on the growth chart. My milk supply was low no matter what I tried, even going off the diet completely. One side was marginal, and the other side wasn't producing anything at all. (Interestingly enough, that was the same side that my previous baby refused to nurse from after her heart surgery. It was producing plenty of milk back then, but she had a stiff neck, and wouldn't turn her head that way. Maybe it got tired of waiting, and decided to take early retirement? )
The tongue tie does prevent the baby from nursing properly, it interferes with removal from the duct which in turn of course impacts supply. In essence there is no demand if the baby's tongue is anchored, he's feeding passively. The diet has NOTHING to do with this. You probably had a perfect supply (a mom with an oversupply can have babies feed passively for months at a time) but the baby was unable to stimulate it. And, just about every mama has one side that is higher producing. I don't hear anything here that relates to diet given the fact that you identified a tongue tie.
So I started supplementing with formula, and he's been doing great since then, growing well and VERY cheerful and active. He's also grown a gorgeous head of hair, which I find interesting, as my other children had almost no hair at his age. Maybe my milk is low in Pantene Pro-Vitamins. But still... argh! This is definitely not what we had in mind.
Well, this would depend (to me) on the diet you ate with past kids and what YOU were able to access from it. IF you were eating sub optimally for your body, then it makes sense that they wouldn't have a TON of nutrients available to them. Plus tongue tie does get progressively worse with each child, unless measures are taken to improve things. IF your previous kiddos had a less obvious tie, or noone was looking for it they may have been unable to get a robust supply going. There's also the possibly of allergens and many other things to consider with past pregnancies.
The diet was very likely a factor in the low milk supply, but probably not the only one. In hindsight, he wasn't a demanding newborn at all, and due to family events there were lots of people around to cuddle and play with him, so maybe I wasn't nursing him often enough in the beginning. This did cross my mind back then, but I didn't think much of it, as I've always tended toward major oversupply in the past (even with DD2, when I was near-exclusively pumping for the first two months).
See, I think this shows that things changed! Your supply NORMALIZED! Unfortunately he was unable to do what he needed to at the breast.
In addition, DS was born with a tongue tie; it was clipped @ 1 week old, but it still looks a bit peculiar to me. When I started pumping to try and increase supply, I realized that the pump felt much more "natural" and effective than his nursing did. Unfortunately, by that point it seemed to be too late to make much difference in the situation.
I have seen kiddos who were four years old clipped and it still makes a difference. I'm not saying you should have, or that it would have for you, but many MANY babies require a second clipping. It's very hard to see when you first do it, as the blood pools under the tongue and you can't go to far too fast. It sounds like there is still a tie present. My youngest is still tied after two clippings-it happens.
And then there was the high-dose Vitamin D and extra calcium that I started taking. I thought it might increase my supply, but it actually seemed to decrease it even further. Maybe I'm imagining that, as I can't find any references that would support it, but it did seem that way.
It could have just been the natural drop that happens. pumping can sub for a baby, but if you don't do it early enough or often enough it just isn't the same for some. I think what you possibly saw is what you were supposed to see. The only thing I can think of is that calcium, taken in excess can prevent the let down reflex from being as smooth which *can* in some people translate into what seems like a lower supply as less is released....and the cycle then continues. I'm not really saying that's what happened....but I don't think the vitamin D played a part in any way. Just my two cents.
I really wish I knew the full story -- not just from JK's books -- so I could decide whether or not to keep my family on the diet. Other than the milk supply issues, everything has gone great... better general health for me, a much easier and happier pregnancy than previous times, and a baby who's bright, cheerful, and easy-going. But I'm not sure what to do now.
Thanks, guys.
Something else I don't think I've mentioned is that I was diagnosed with borderline/suspected glaucoma last fall. We do have a family history of people getting it relatively young, so the Dr. was inclined toward starting medication (beta blockers). This was a big factor in my decision to go back on the diet, after being off it for a couple of months.
At the time, I had repeated readings of pressure ~23 or 24. (Over 20 is a red flag.) After a month on the diet, it had dropped to I think 17, which is what it had been in the past. So in that sense, the diet seems to have worked as advertised.
One point I'm confused on is veggies. I don't crave veggies and don't particularly love them - I'm definitely a meat & fat kinda gal. I wonder if I eat enough raw liver on a regular basis, if it's that important?
Our CSA will start in May, so we'll have an abundance of veggies, and I fully intend to use every bit, I just worry about the fiber thing. I do think that fiber is a "menace" and since I'm not drawn to a lot of veggies, I feel like my body isn't needing them. Maybe juicing is something to look into, like Tanya said. I've always been skeptical because it doesn't seem like the natural, whole way of eating them, but who knows.
I made a paste of cocoa powder mixed with a teeny bit of hot water & mixed it into a quart of pastured cream. Then I added 10 drops of stevia glycerite, some vanilla & put it in the freezer. Before it was completely frozen, I drizzled some peanut butter for a ripple effect. This has been my go-to snack when i feel snacky & it really hits the spot. No idea how it would rate on the Optimal Diet, but it doesn't cause a noticeable blood sugar reaction and it leaves me feeling satiated.
hummingmom, any chance you have a direct link to Optimal Nutrition? I can't seem to find it anymore...
I'm not hummingmom but here is the link: http://homodiet.netfirms.com/
Is the book online? I've never seen it there. We had to order our copy from Poland.
(Unfortunately, it's in a box somewhere, as we're in the middle of moving. Once it gets unpacked, I'd be glad to look something up for you.)

Good Morning Challengers and welcome to Day 51 - the Penultimate Day of our Winter Challenge. While this has been a difficult winter for most of the country – you need only look at the calendar and see that spring and baseball season are just waiting around the corner.
Quotes of the Day:
People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.
- Rogers Hornsby
Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.
- Babe Ruth
Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.
- Yogi Berra
Question of the Day: Are you a baseball fan? If so who's your team – and what do you think their prospects are for the upcoming season?
Todays numbers:
PG1: 44/45 days <75G Net Carbs
PG2: 14/15 Fish - Tuesdays and Fridays
AOTD: I've been Red Sox fan forever. Last year wasn't so good. The Sox made upgrades with position players – but the pitching staff - which was a disappointment last year - is relatively unchanged except for a new closer. Assuming the pitchers bounce back with a better season – I still think they are one quality starter away from being a contender again.
Have a great day everybody – and Good Luck !!

In 2005, Oregon Tech furthered its commitment to sustainable power by introducing the first Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy Systems in North America (now known as Renewable Energy Engineering). Oregon Tech's renewable energy program establishes the engineering principles graduates will need to develop, promote, and implement sustainable energy technologies. The Master of Science in Renewable Energy Engineering was offered for the first time in 2012.
The Renewable Energy curriculum prepares graduates for engineering careers in the energy sector in general, and the renewable energy in particular. Graduates of the program will be prepared for graduate study or for immediate employment as design engineers, field engineers, plant engineers, utility engineers, energy auditors, renewable energy system integrators for homes and businesses, local and state government renewable-energy planners, and other positions in the energy field.
Information regarding the MSREE degree is available in its MSREE website.
The Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy Engineering program is offered in both Klamath Falls and Wilsonville locations.
The concurrent Bachelor of Science degree in Renewable Energy Engineering and Electrical Engineering is available at both locations. The concurrent Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy Engineering and Environmental Science is offered in Klamath Falls. Dual majors are available for students in Wilsonville.
The EERE Department provides the opportunity for interested and motivated students to earn two Bachelor of Science degrees: a BS in Renewable Energy Engineering and a BS in Electrical Engineering. The purpose of this dual degree is to provide the top students with a challenging academic program that will prepare them for career opportunities in the electronics, electrical engineering, power, and energy industries. The students receive a BS degree in a classical engineering discipline (Electrical Engineering), as well as an emerging high-growth discipline (Renewable Energy Engineering). The degree program will take an additional year beyond the BSREE degree program (or 4.5 years total by taking courses in Summer term). To obtain both degrees (BSREE and BSEE) students must complete all of the courses required for the BSREE degree and the following BSEE courses. Consult with your advisor for details.
Renewable Energy Engineering students have the opportunity to earn a dual degree: a BS in Renewable Energy Engineering and a BS in Environmental Sciences. The additional degree requires 54 credits in Environmental Sciences courses, which can be taken concurrent to Renewable Energy Engineering courses or in an add-on year. A second degree in Environmental Sciences places engineering projects in the context of environmental impacts and environmental regulations, and greatly increases job opportunities for Oregon Tech Renewable Energy Engineering graduates. The purpose of the concurrent programs is to challenge motivated students to become even better prepared for the engineering and environmental job markets. To obtain both degrees, students must complete the following listed courses along with the courses required for the Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy Engineering.

Militant Church Movement (Louisville, KY)
The Militant Church Movement or MCM was a post-WWII Civil Rights organization established by Rev. J. C. Olden, father of Sylvia Olden Lee. MCM began in Louisville as a small but vocal church-based organization, and became a coalition of African American churches in Kentucky. In 1951, the group led in the boycott of a baseball game that was to have taken place in Louisville between white major league players led by Gill Hodges, and an African American team lead by Roy Campanella. The protest was in response to the plans to segregate the audience. The game was cancelled. In 1953, MCM, led by Rev. Olden and Rev. M. M. D. Perdue, was successful in leading the Interracial Hospital Movement campaign that brought the beginning of the end to racial restrictions in all Kentucky hospitals. That same year, MCM launched a mass petition drive to urge the lawmakers of Kentucky to integrated the state's schools. The group also launched protests against GE for it hiring practices. What is know about the MCM exists because of those who remember the group's efforts; MCM did not have a formal membership list and they did not keep records. For more see "All-Star ball game dropped: Jim Crow protest effective," Honolulu Record, 11/01/1951, p.6; Subversive Southerner by C. Fosl and A. Y. Davis; and Civil Rights in the Gateway to the South by T. E. K'Meyer.

Freshman defender Chris Rumble of the Canisius College hockey team made a splash right from the start, earning Atlantic Hockey Rookie of the Week honors after helping the Griffs to a weekend sweep at Sacred Heart.
Appearing in just his second and third collegiate games, Rumble totaled three points, one goal and two assists in a pair of wins against the Pioneers. The defender netted his first career goal - a power-play tally - in Friday's 5-1 victory to go along with an assist, while adding another helper in a 6-3 win on Saturday.
Rumble and the Griffs look to continue their winning ways this weekend, playing at Bentley. The two-game series is set to begin on Friday at 7:05 p.m.

One of my songs spins backward, while the other plays forward
OK, if that GIF is too annoying, just tell me, and I'll take it down. Would be a shame, tho.
Adrian Matejka's second book of poems, Mixology, was published as part of last year's National Poetry Series, and I've finally gotten around to picking it up and checking it out. I knew Adrian very briefly when we both lived in Carbondale, Illinois, in 2001. He had a radio show on the local independent station WDBX (then 700 watts; since upgraded to 3000), and he asked me to come on the show and read some poems. I'd done this sort of thing before, on a poetry show on Madison, Wisconsin's indy station, the venerable WORT. But Adrian's show was a little different.
When I arrived at the studio, Adrian explained that while I read my poems, he was going to play music in the background. In other words, he was to be the DJ, and I the MC. Frankly friends I freaked. As we got into it, though, I found myself really enjoying it. I would never claim to have skillz as an MC, but fortunately Adrian's an excellent DJ, so the end result didn't sound half bad.
I think.
I could be wrong.
I'm probably wrong.
I've many times before and since thought about adding music, or still or moving imagery, or other sorts of aesthetic enhancements, to my poetry reading schtick. Doesn't it seem like kind of a no-brainer, in this age of collage, pastiche, inter- and extra-disciplinarity? Studio artists are all over this; the Venice and Whitney biennials are always full of film, sound, text, dance, and theater in addition to painting, sculpture, and photographs. Yes, surely, yes yes yes, there are many poets who mix, collaborate, boundary-cross, draw, dance, sing. But be honest: If, when you go to a poetry reading, the reader says just a sec, I gotta fire up the laptop projector / plug in the mp3 player / unpack my sax / put on my costume / etc., don't you cringe a little in anticipation, hoping s/he isn't about to make a fool of him or herself? Don't you? I do. Why do I?
Anyway, my thanks to Adrian for making me feel like Rakim for that one hour in Carbondale, long ago. Here's a poem from Mixology. Actually, this is the version that was in Prairie Schooner. It's a little different in the book. Is it cool that we just like post all sorts of copyrighted material on here, bosses? More mixology, I guess.
I got me two songs instead
of eyes—all swollen and blacked
out like the day after a lost fight.
Two jigsaws spinning, buzzing
the backdrop for woodshop
or emcee, bar mitzvah or afterset.
It's Run DMC rocking without
a band, but not without me.
Two rims spinning after the car
stops. Baby, I'm the little lenses
in the bifocals if they were on pulleys.
I'm the Wizard of Oz if Oz
was a fish fry in July. Call me
Master of the Cracked Fingers.
One song spins forward, the other
back to repeat itself: Every day
I'm hustlin'. Every day I'm hustlin'.
Baby, I'm the layaway payment
on a Ferris wheel. My songs orbit
parking lots and rent parties
like the crazy lady's eyes
when she finds out her lover man
already left. One of my songs
spins backward, while the other
plays forward like sugar mixing
in to make the grape. My songs
are the pinwheels for this parade
of moonwalks and uprocks.

The Office of Congressional Ethics recommended that the House ethics committee take further action against lawmakers or aides in a dozen cases during 2009, according to a report released today.
The office's fourth-quarter report shows that the independent office opened probes in a total of 25 cases during 2009. While 12 cases were transmitted to the House ethics panel for further review during that period, the office also recommended that another eight be dismissed.
The report does not name lawmakers or describe any cases, but Reps. John Murtha, D-Pa., Norm Dicks, D-Wash., and Jim Moran, D-Va., all announced last month that the office had recommended that the ethics committee not pursue an investigation into their ties to a now-defunct lobbying firm PMA Group.
PMA's offices were raided by federal agents, and the ethics committee had acknowledged last summer that it was looking into the firms' efforts to secure federal appropriations for clients as it helped funnel donations to lawmakers.
The independent ethics office was created after Congress imposed broad new ethics rules to deal with the lobbying scandal that sent former lobbyist Jack Abramoff and former representative Bob Ney, R-Ohio, to prison. The office can vet cases, but only the ethics committee can vote to take action against lawmakers.
As we reported Monday, no lawmaker in the Senate or House has been punished since the new ethics rules took effect in 2007.

Sept. 8, 2009
By: Lindsey Williford, Media Relations Graduate Assistant
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - When the Intercollegiate Tennis Association announced the preseason individual rankings, the University of Tennessee women's tennis team was well represented as the Lady Vol tandem of senior Caitlin Whoriskey and sophomore Natalie Pluskota found itself at the No. 7 spot in the doubles portion of the poll. Whoriskey also found her name in the singles rankings, landing at No. 27, the highest placement of her career.
The Tennessee tandem of Whoriskey and Pluskota found much success this past season and over the summer. The duo won 15 matches in 2009, with 12 coming against nationally-ranked opponents. The pairing of Pluskota and Whoriskey also received ITA All-America honors after advancing to the semifinals of the NCAA Doubles Championships. During summer play the two reached the finals at Hilton Head Pro Circuit Tournament.
This fall, they will pair up once again to compete in the Riviera/ITA All-American Championships. The tournament is set to take place Oct. 3-11 at the Riviera Tennis Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif. Both Whoriskey and Pluskota will compete in the main singles draw as well after receiving wild card and automatic berths, respectively. Pluskota earned the automatic selection by winning the singles title at the ITA/United States Tennis Association National Summer Championships in August.
In addition to the doubles rating, Whoriskey was able to secure the highest singles ranking of her career, coming in at No. 27 after her stellar play during the spring and summer seasons. She has competed in the NCAA Singles Championships in each of the past two seasons and became the first Lady Vol in school history to earn a spot on the prestigious USTA Summer Collegiate Team this past June.
The East Sandwich, Mass., native notched key victories at multiple USTA Pro Circuit events over the summer. At the Brownsville Women's $10,000 Tournament, Whoriskey reached the second round of the main draw by defeating the No. 1 seed with a dominating, 6-1, 6-4 victory. She would finish off a strong summer by advancing to the singles finals at the $10,000 Heartland Clinic USTA Women's Classic in St. Joseph, Mo. Her path to the Heartland finals included a 6-3, 7-6 (3) triumph over the tournaments' seventh-seeded Kaitlyn Christian.
The Lady Vols will kick off the 2009-10 campaign this weekend when they make the short trip to Nashville to take part in the Southeastern Conference Coaches Fall Classic, hosted by Vanderbilt at the Brownlee O. Currey Jr., Tennis Center, Sept. 11-13.

Hungary buys back Roman 'family silver' for $20 million
By Marton Dunai and Gergely Szakacs
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary unveiled on Wednesday Roman silverware it says was found in the country in the 1970s, smuggled abroad and recently bought back in a deal Prime Minister Viktor Orban said brought home a family treasure.
The seven decorated pitchers, platters and bowls were half the original 4th-5th century "Seuso treasure" and cost 15 million euros ($20.67 million) to buy, he said as they were put on display in the parliament building in Budapest.
Hungary says the objects were dug up near Lake Balaton in western Hungary during the communist period, smuggled to the West and not seen in public until a 1990 auction in New York that failed because of a dispute over where they were found.
Budapest has always claimed the treasure as its own.
Two people described only as "British siblings" contacted Hungary with a view to making a sale, Hungarian officials said.
"Hungary has reacquired and brought home seven pieces of the invaluable treasure," Orban said. "It has always belonged to Hungary. This is Hungary's family silver."
Orban is the favorite to win a general election on April 6 and recovering the Seuso silver, while primarily an issue of national heritage, could burnish his reputation as a defender of Hungarian national interests dear to many voters.
The treasure was named after a high-ranking Roman officer, Seuso, who probably buried his silver vessels before a military attack at the end of the 4th or beginning of the 5th century. Continued...

text: PITTSFIELD, Mass., Nov. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Berkshire Hills Bancorp (NASDAQ: BHLB) has recruited an experienced commercial banking team to service small and middle-market businesses in central and eastern Massachusetts. Beginning December 1, the team will be based at a new Berkshire Bank Commercial Banking Center located at 45 Lyman Street, Westborough, Mass. The Bank has appointed James Curran as Senior Vice President and Commercial Regional Manager. Joining Curran's team will be John Faber and Karen Dumas as Senior Vice Presidents and Commercial Relationship Managers. Also joining the team will be David Sabourin, Vice President and Commercial Relationship Manager; Suzana Trebicka, Assistant Vice President and Senior Commercial Credit Underwriter; and Timothy Hussey, Assistant Vice President and Portfolio Manager. These individuals have over 85 years of combined experience in providing commercial lending solutions to businesses in the central Massachusetts region and in northern Connecticut. This team has been working together for over 20 years at Sovereign Bank. At Berkshire, Curran will report to Patrick J. Sullivan, Executive Vice President of Commercial Banking of Berkshire Bank. The team comes with a great deal of experience in a wide range of commercial lending specialties including providing financial solutions in the areas of health care and higher education. Curran has specialized in the commercial middle-market segment, most recently serving as the Regional Executive for central Massachusetts and Hartford, Connecticut for Sovereign/Santander. "I have worked with Jim and this entire team for many years and know firsthand their expertise and experience in providing quality financing solutions to businesses of all types," said Sullivan. "They each have specific areas in which they have vast experience, and together will have the ability to provide top-notch products and services to companies and organizations in many different industries. This commercial banking expansion will help us achieve our goal to diversify from commercial real estate toward business banking targeted specifically for small- and middle-market businesses. It will also complement well our experienced asset based lending team that joined us in 2010 and which has enjoyed great success serving middle market businesses throughout our New England and New York footprint from their Woburn, Massachusetts headquarters." Berkshire's President and CEO, Michael P. Daly, stated, " Berkshire continues to take advantage of opportunities to expand and enhance our franchise by delivering locally managed customer solutions with the strength of our regional organization. I welcome Jim and his team and look forward to expanding our financial resources in the central and eastern Massachusetts markets. This expansion follows the 2010 expansions of our Springfield regional headquarters and our entry into asset based lending headquartered in Woburn, and it complements our recently announced merger agreement with the Hartford-based Connecticut Bank and Trust Company." Mr. Daly added, "This market area has been part of our strategic focus for several years and it remains our expectation to develop our New England presence with our existing capital and earnings resources in the context of our existing plans. While we are always scrutinizing potential growth opportunities that may become available in the northeast, our current primary focus will be on integrating our recent acquisitions and closing our pending transaction with the Connecticut Bank and Trust Company. Additionally, our capital planning will focus on making our existing stock more valuable and we look very cautiously at the issuance of additional securities which are not part of any whole bank acquisition. We have no current plans to engage in large scale branch acquisitions as we have had great success growing our deposits through our organic and de novo branching initiatives and are positioned to invest these funds on Main Street in our markets. With all of these initiatives, we are investing in future growth in support of our communities. We remain very committed to the successful execution of these initiatives in our footprint and delivering on our performance targets and $2.00 core EPS run rate target within twelve months."

Second-hand retailers score during recession
By Ed Stoddard and Tim Gaynor
DALLAS/PHOENIX (Reuters) - The recession has taken its toll on many large U.S. retailers but smaller ones catering to the second-hand market are flourishing as the cash-strapped seek the holy grail of the American consumer: a bargain.
In August the National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops (NARTS), which claims to be the world's largest resale trade association, said a survey of its membership about second quarter sales in 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 showed increasing turnover in the second-hand sector.
"Of the 263 stores that responded, 64.1 percent said sales increased -- with an average increase of approximately 31 percent -- 11.5 percent said sales were about the same and 24.4 percent had a decrease in sales," it said.
Dallas-based Half Price Books, a privately-held operation that mostly trades and sells used books and magazines, has seen its sales rise and has plans to open new stores.
It has opened four new stores so far this calendar year, with more due to open in the fall. It currently has 106 stores in 16 states.
"We are buying more books than ever before so people are selling ... It started last year with people coming in and selling books for gas money," said Kathy Doyle Thomas, executive vice president for marketing and real estate.
"I think people are okay with buying used ... it is also part of the growing culture of recycling," said Doyle Thomas.
Such success is rare amid a financial crisis that has thrown millions of Americans out of work and made many think twice before they shop, which is almost a national obsession. Continued...

Showing some love to her British fans, Kate Upton was up bright and early for an interview on BBC Radio 1 in London, England on Monday (April 27).
The gorgeous supermodel was lovely in a classic trench coat with a lemon yellow sweater and white distressed Frame Denim jeans as she scurried past the shutterbugs and signed a few autographs for her loyal followers.
She's no stranger to flashing flesh, but when Kate Upton's nude photos were hacked last year she was absolutely infuriated.
Packing five times its usual girl power, Marie Claire magazine selected a quintet of stylish stars for five different versions of the May 2015 cover.
As one of the most famous models in the world today, Kate Upton has enjoyed becoming a household name, thanks to multiple Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers.
Swimsuit season is fast approaching and Kate Upton looks super-hot in the new campaign for Express, shot by Mario Sorrenti.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue stunner traveled to Miami, Florida for the shoot, donning a variety of bikinis, swimsuits and various other summer clothing items while frolicking in the sunshine.
Though she's only 22 years old, Kate Upton has become one of the most prolific models in the game today.
The "Other Woman" star is featured on the front of Net-a-Porter's The Edit magazine sporting looks from Jonathan Simkhai, Mugler, Marni and Victoria Beckham.
Showing some love for her devoted fans, Kate Upton made an appearance at the Express Spring Fling Event in San Francisco on Tuesday (March 3).
The "Other Woman" actress was in fine form as she mingled with contest winners at Union Square, sporting a black dress/white jacket combo.
After the party is the after-party! And, the biggest one in Hollywood is the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. For the second year in a row, the post-award show event featured a portrait booth, and the images are simply stunning.
So, how did it work? "As guests leave the red carpet and enter the main #vfoscarparty space, they'll have the option to stop by the studio and stake a claim to immortality – or at least strike a few portfolio-style poses," the magazine explained.

When the late Rene Rivkin – the money man with a penchant for open shirts and big cigars – started the Rivkin Report in 1997, former friend and Labor minister
The Rivkin Report became a tip sheet for investing in the sharemarket that seemed to bring retail investors on to the same page as financiers, who could get wind of big moves in listed companies before they happened.
With his art collection, property deals and well publicised sharemarket wins, Rivkin became a human billboard for the lifestyle his followers aspired to, helping him build a subscriber base that peaked at 55,000 towards the end of 2000.
Then came an rap on the knuckles from the securities regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, for selling shares in companies he was simultaneously recommendng to subscribers.
But it was insider trading charges for buying Qantas shares after receiving a tip the airline was about to buy a smaller competitor, Compass, that sunk Rivkin in 2003, precipitating the downward spiral that lead to his death in 2005 at the age of 61.
Sitting in the current modern and minimalist Rivkin offices in Darlinghurst in Sydney's east, it's difficult to find any aesthetic reminders of the colourful Rivkin legacy, apart from a fleeting resemblance in his two sons, Shannon and Jordan, who are both directors of
Brand Rivkin set for relaunch
The Rivkins have spent the past 12 months planning a relaunch of the Rivkin brand. Aimed at the self-directed retiree market, it's fairly clear, considering the soft focus yellowy-orange flower petals of the new logo and buttoned-up business shirts worn by the Rivkin sons, that the company's second coming is unlikely to be marked with a bottle of Bollinger on a luxury yacht.
"We're obviously a lot more introverted and media shy than dad was. I've got a boat and I was tempted to use it but that's not really us as much," says
Schuberg says he doesn't want to get ahead of himself in pushing the Rivkin brand into the market again. He intends to expand the subscriber base organically through word of mouth, starting with the clients that have maintained a "one of the family" affinity with the Rivkin name.
SMSF market in their sights
The new Rivkin offering includes two subscriber-based reports – Rivkin Local and Rivkin Global – as well as a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) product. The idea is to package a service for self-directed retirees to take care of the administration of their funds and give them stock tips along the way to trade any spare cash they have in those funds.
The company and its 16 staff handle the administration of the various assets that come with an SMSF – including real estate, trusts and the like – but it's clear that direct share investing is still the main sizzle in this latest Rivkin offering.
Rivkin Securities holds only a financial services licence for general advice, so it won't be advising clients where to put their money based on an individual's personal circumstances.
Event driven newsletter
Rather, Rivkin Local is an event driven newsletter like the old Rivkin Report, which recommends stocks to build a model portfolio that holds about 15 names at any given time.
Stocks typically are recommended to be held for around six months, based on their upside potential thanks to an impending event, such as a merger, a spin-off or a capital markets deal.
According to the company's dissection of its own performance, its model portfolio has completed 602 trades since July 1998 and returned 9.3 per cent on average per trade, with an average holding time per stock of 29 weeks.
Schuberg says the investment process has been inherited from the stockpickers who worked with their father on the original Report.
"It's exactly how dad did it, the whole report was driven by event-driven scenarios and that's what we are doing with Rivkin Local," Jordan Rivkin says.
Shannon Rivkin is in charge of the performance of the domestic tips and, besides completing his Diploma in Financial Markets in 2004, lists inheriting his father's strengths in event driven trading as the basis for his professional qualification.
Market-moving power diminished
While Rivkin Local doesn't have the same market-moving power as the Rivkin Report did, when subscribers would pile into a stock at the tip of the founder's hat, Schuberg says the company holds itself to high disclosure standards, including listing stocks the founders are personally about to sell or buy.
Schuberg recognises the market for direct share investing has changed dramatically with the advent of the internet and the proliferation of discount brokers since Rivkin started spruiking his report in the 1990s.
However, Schuberg and the Rivkin sons see an enormous opportunity in the cash that's sitting in term deposits and trusts in the 478,000 or so SMSFs in Australia. The SMSF asset base has been growing at 8 per cent a year and now holds about $440 billion.
Battle against 'deeper pockets'
Schuberg acknowledges the challenges in competing for the SMSF dollar against players with "much deeper pockets than us", but he believes any baggage that may have been carried by the Rivkin brand in the past has been largely shed.
"We've never really felt the negativity among our subscribers, that seemed to come and go really quickly," he says.
The feeling that members are part of the Rivkin family is what Jordan says the brand was always about and what he expects will appeal to self- directed investor today.

I am a petite woman and love my body and generally love my breasts, too, just not on me. lol. If that makes sense. I have no problem with small breasts (I am a 34/aa -34/a), in fact I think they are super cute, elegant and sexy, but I have myself never felt completely feminine or satisfied with being very small chested. At times I even feel inadequate and, well, embarrassed by how small I am, which you would think would have made this an easy choice. But somehow it didn't.
It took me 30years - maybe just 17 since I started to think...hmm, this just may not happen for me - to have the courage to finally get implants. I struggles with fear about not getting what I wanted and, god forbid, ending up with worst! Or having health issues, or being judged by people I know and don't know like my extended family. And I guess there is also the money that got in the way as well. But one day shortly before turning 30 I realized that due to my work and lifestyle I change my clothes between 3-5 times a day! and almost every time I feel limited, or sad or uncomfortable with how my breasts look in and out of clothing and thats a ton of negativity! What if I just removed that daily negativity from my life, what would I be able to replace it with? What would be possible? Why do I insist on living with it!?
So after spending some time examining my personal concerns and doing research I realized that much of my concern was unfounded and as for being judged.... I'm the only one who has to deal with my body on a daily basis so screw anyone who wants to hate on me for doing what works best for me. :) And I literally got to a whole other place mentally and emotionally, I felt so free and happy and above all EXCITED!
So here I am, I picked my surgeon (I saw 3 total), paid my deposit and have arranged all my post surgery stuff: care-taker, money, work changes, etc. And now I wait.
I have found all the "this is my boob story" type blogs and vlogs incredibly helpful and I am so grateful to have had them to guide me along this long and sometimes uncertain journey and hope that I can give back a bit by telling people about my experience!

The Parable of the Sower (1 of 4) by J. Gerald Harris
This content is part of a series.The Parable of the Sower (1 of 4)
Series: Parables in Matthew 13
J. Gerald Harris
Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23
Chapter 13 of Matthew is a crucial chapter in the Bible. It is a chapter that every believer should seek to understand thoroughly. The rebellion against Jesus Christ is beginning to reach its peak. He has now turned His attention from the nation of Israel to all who will come to Him. The big question now is, ''What about the kingdom now that the King has been refused?'' And the answer to that question is in Matthew 13. In this chapter Christ begins to outline the ''mysteries of the kingdom'' and explains what the ''kingdom of heaven'' is like during this present age.
And, in this chapter, Jesus seeks to outline the ''mysteries of the kingdom'' by the use of parables. Now, a parable has been described as ''a heavenly story with an earthly meaning.'' A parable is a story in which something familiar explains something that is unfamiliar.
The condition of the people's hearts made it necessary for Christ to use parables. Notice Matthew 13:13-15 (read). Here Christ is quoting the prophet Isaiah to explain why He was using parables. The hearts, the ears, the eyes of the people had become dull, hard and blind. By using parables, He was exciting the curiosity of the concerned, those who really wanted to know the truth. But he was also hiding the truth from the rebellious.
Now, Jesus was a master storyteller and He would use these parables, these illustrations, to sometimes explain the mysteries of life, or the mysteries of the kingdom, as is the case here in Matthew 13.
I wish that life was as easily explained as that great philosopher of the comic strips, Charlie Brown, once deduced that it was.
Lucy is saying to him, ''Life is a mystery, Charlie Brown.... Do you know the answer?''
Charlie Brown answers, ''Be kind, don't smoke, be prompt, smile a lot, eat sensibly, avoid cavities, mark your ballot correctly, avoid too much sun, send overseas pac ...
