Remember Me
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 20549-0213.
Form N-6; SEC File No. 270-446; OMB Control No. 3235-0503.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below.
The title for the collection of information is "Form N-6 (17 CFR 239.17c and 274.11d) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) and under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) registration statement of separate accounts organized as unit investment trusts that offer variable life insurance policies." Form N-6 is the form used by insurance company separate accounts organized as unit investment trusts that offer variable life insurance contracts to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and/or to register their securities under the Securities Act of 1933. The primary purpose of the registration process is to provide disclosure of financial and other information to investors and potential investors for the purpose of evaluating an investment in a security. Form N-6 also requires separate accounts organized as unit investment trusts that offer variable life insurance policies to provide investors with a prospectus and a statement of additional information ("SAI") covering essential information about the separate account when it makes an initial or additional offering of its securities.
The Commission estimates that approximately 436 registration statements (429 post-effective amendments plus 7 initial registration statements) are filed on Form N-6 annually. The estimated hour burden per portfolio for preparing and filing an initial registration statement on Form N-6 is 770.25 hours. The estimated annual hour burden for preparing and filing initial registration statements is 5,391.75 hours (7 initial registration statements annually times 770.25 hours per registration statement). The Commission estimates that the hour burden for preparing and filing a post-effective amendment on Form N-6 is 67.5 hours. The total annual hour burden for preparing and filing post-effective amendments is 28,957.5 hours (429 post-effective amendments annually times 67.5 hours per amendment). The frequency of response is annual. The total annual hour burden for Form N-6, therefore, is estimated to be 34,349.25 hours (5,391.75 hours for initial registration statements plus 28,957.5 hours for post-effective amendments).
The Commission estimates that the cost burden for preparing an initial Form N-6 filing is $23,440 per portfolio and the current cost burden for preparing a post-effective amendment to a previously effective registration statement is $8,523 per portfolio. The Commission estimates that, on an annual basis, 7 portfolios will be referenced in an initial Form N-6 and 429 portfolios will be referenced in a post-effective amendment of Form N-6. Thus, the total cost burden allocated to Form N-6 would be $3,820,447.
The information collection requirements imposed by Form N-6 are mandatory. Responses to the collection of information will not be kept confidential. Estimates of average burden hours are made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and are not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules and forms. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number.
The public may view the background documentation for this information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.
Dated: July 9, 2012.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.

Alaska Alive with Birds, Even in WinterLarge increase in number of Bohemian waxwingsANCHORAGE - Perhaps you've heard it lately, the sound of birds waking up on a winter morning. Anchorage is alive with birds, even in the winter, and there are more than you might imagine. "If you were very lucky, and had about 50 to 80 friends that you could take out birding, you'd maybe able to find about 40 to 45 species of birds on a winter day in Anchorage," said lifelong birder Buzz Scher. Scher compiles statistics for the Alaska Audubon Society, and over the past few years he has seen a huge increase in the numbers of Bohemian waxwings who descend on the city every year. "Where you used to have a few thousand waxwings or less that you'd find on the Christmas count, now you can find 15,000 at the peak times," said Scher. "But just as soon as they clean out the trees, they disappear." The waxwings were easy to find in a Turnagain neighborhood where hundreds were gobbling down berries on a single mountain ash tree. But they weren't the only birds in town. Just down the street Jack Miller was attracting all kinds at his many feeders. "We get a lot of white crown sparrows, which is very unusual for Anchorage," said Miller. "We also get robins in the winter time." A hairy woodpecker was at one of Miller's feeders, and redpolls came and went at another. "They are real flockers," said Miller, referring to the redpolls. "When they get into a feeder they scare everyone else away." Miller said it's a thrill to see them all in his own backyard. "...Because they aren't as common as they are in the Lower 48, so we treasure the ones that we have." -- And enjoy their company as the days grow longer, heading into spring. |

text: I went down to Andalucia last week for work purposes and met a lot of people some of whom I already knew and others who I only virtually knew. I then asked a question in my group of Writers and Bloggers About Spain about meeting up, "How Many People In The Group Have You Met Up With?" Now considering that there are 137 people in the group I thought my total of 41 was reasonable. My case is slightly different as some of the group are limited by geography, being based on a rock somewhere in the Atlantic known as the Canary Islands means you are a bit out of the way, and also a few are based on the Balearic Islands too.

Chuck Norris Cat
Kitten or super hero ninja?
One day my best friend and I were walking on a street and we stopped by this gas station to get a snack and a drink and when we were getting ready to walk inside we saw something in this car and we thought it was an alien because it looked like it was sitting up just exactly like a person sitting up in the passenger's seat and we kept looking at it and walking around the car casually to get a closer look and we swear to God we weren't crazy at the time so my BFF dared me to walk up and say "Hi" to the Alien.
I was really scared but whenever I tapped the window the "alien" looked up at me but it wasn't an Alien it was a German Shepherd __________

Reese Witherspoon has reportedly signed on to produce a new romantic comedy title "The Beard." Thus far details about the project are slim, but hollywoodreporter.com notes that the film will center on a woman who poses as the date of a gay man so he can appear straight.
Witherspoon is also rumored for the starring role in the film, which was picked up by Chernin Entertainment on spec from writer Becca Green. Reese will co-produce the project with Peter Chernin. Thus far no other possible stars or plot points have been revealed.
The news comes at a busy time for Reese, who is currently shooting "Devil's Knot" with Colin Firth. That film centers on the murder case surrounding the West Memphis Three. She also recently wrapped production on an indie drama titled "Mud" co-starring Matthew McConaughey.

Please could somebody help me. My mother Ethel Buck and her siblings were born in North Hammersmith. Fulham District. When she was five in 1918 her parents split up and they were all placed in a home to await fostering. I would love to know more about it. The home they were in and the records of the time they were there. |

Paul Barton, Special Agent | Report | 3 Feb 2013 11:01 |
My great grandfather's siblings faced a similar experience. They were sent to the workhouse in Fulham and from there to the school owned by Hammersmith and Fulham, at Ashford in Middlesex. From there they were sent to Canada, never to see their family again. This was in 1882, but I think the system was still in practice in 1918. |

Ron Turner has taken the position of executive director of Manatee County Habitat for Humanity, the organization announced this morning.
"I am excited to be part of this wonderful organization and look forward to helping Manatee Habitat build the organizational infrastructure necessary to build more houses for families in need," Turner said.
Before his newest role, Turner served as deputy chief of staff and district director U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, vice president for governmental issues and economic development with the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce and as an elected official in DeSoto County.
"After a thorough search, the Board feels confident that Ron is the right choice for leading our Habitat for Humanity affiliate as it reaches for bigger goals," said Manatee Habitat Board President Mike Kennedy. "We look forward to what the organization will be able to achieve with his experience leading nonprofit and governmental organizations."
Manatee Habitat is completing the final homes at Washington Park, a 12-home subdivision in Palmetto and will go on to build at Cortez Landings — a community of more than 50 homes in Bradenton.
Manatee County Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit, ecumenical, Christian, volunteer-based organization dedicated to building homes in partnership with low-income families who need safe, decent, affordable housing. For more information, visit www.manateehabitat.org.

Although Brian Auger has more than fifty years of music production experience, he is still on a journey. If evidence of this was required one need look no further than the two current projects with which he is involved (Brian Auger's Oblivion Express and Brian Auger Trinity featuring Savannah Grace) or of course to his current album, the excellent 'Language of the Heart'.

William Carn's new band, Run Stop Run and his latest album of the same title could also be titled simply "run." Carn's recent work and collaborations, as well as his work as a professor of music, provide tremendous insight into Carn's work ethic. Nowe, by adding touring to his busy schedule, Carn is truly a man in motion.

Peripheral Vision - In Conversation

Couch surfing. No, it is not a new event you will see at a Peripheral Vision concert, much like Moshing was to Nirvana and Anthrax. But it is an endearing sacrifice band co-leaders Michael Herring and Don Scott made in order to develop a strong friendship with each other. At various times during the first few years that Scott and Herring were friends; they frequently crashed on their respective couches when one had a place to stay and the other didn't. This back and forth "surfing" is ultimately what allowed the two to be such strong musicians with a powerful sense of each other's timing; which allows Peripheral Vision to be such a potent force. It also helps that the band can play their instruments extremely well. "I think musically we know each other well. Playing with someone, when you intuitively understand where they are going, helps the flow of the performance," said band co-leader Don Scott.

Building a career by earning the respect of your peers is a difficult, ongoing task. Imagine trying to do it twice. Punctuated by a storied basketball franchise, the Boston Celtics, honoring him with a bobble head promotion and with Billboard slotting his album Emotionally at number 11 on the jazz album charts, Walter McCarty has succeeded at both.

text: QuantumX is a frequency-enhanced, energized elixir that uses the ancient model of healing based on subtle vibrational energy to discharge patterns of disease. Energy healing has been used for thousands of years in many cultures throughout the world via a wide spectrum of modalities from breathing and movement techniques, to meditation, acupuncture and natural herbal remedies. What brings about dramatic healing from the above-mentioned energy modalities is the transfer of subtle energy to the cells guided by vibration. The importance of vibration can not be overstated in terms of how subtle energy communicates with our cells, changing their structure and function. Vibration encodes how the energies are used by the cells.The energetic frequencies in Quantum X transfer to your body when you take small amounts of this elixir. They encourage cells to release their toxins and establish a new pattern of repair, flooding the body with wellness at all levels - physical, mental and emotional. By working on the quantum level of basic matter and energy units, the chemical structure of the cells and intra-cellular constituents are rebuilt to a new model of health. 2 ounce dropper bottle. Ingredient: Frequency enhanced spring water.

Pod: vs. St. Joseph's, Babson vs. Bridgewater State
Prognosis: The undefeated and defending national champion Lord Jeffs enter the NCAA tournament for the second consecutive year as the favorites. Their path will likely be one of the easiest of any top seed, as they probably will not have to leave Amherst for the first four rounds of play, and the other high seeds in their region of the bracket are a group with gaudy records but lean resumes. Their potential second-round opponent, No. 13 Babson, is 25-2, but outside of an early season win against a Tufts side still getting its feet on the ground, they have looked poor against top teams, including a 61-39 drubbing at the hands of Williams. No. 15 Juniata similarly played a weak schedule, and is reeling after losing their conference championship game to Catholic, while No. 8 William Patterson could only split a season series with Kean, a team the Lord Jeffs dispatched by 23.

NEW ORLEANS — Gamblers lost nearly $185 million at Louisiana's state licensed casinos in October, down from the nearly $199.7 million for September and slightly more than the $181.4 million for October of last year.
Most of the money was dropped at the state's 13 riverboat casinos. Total revenue decreased to $126 million for October, down from $141.8 million in September, but up compared to the $123.5 million left a year earlier.
Harrah's land-based casino in New Orleans won $28.5 million in October, up from $25.2 million in September and from the $27 million in October a year earlier.
Slot machine casinos at the four Louisiana horse tracks won $30.3 million, compared to $32.7 million in September and $30.9 million a year earlier.
The five-riverboat Shreveport-Bossier market led the state in gambling revenue with nearly $45.1 million in October winnings; followed by the Lake Charles market, with $35.9 million; the Baton Rouge market with $22.7 million; and the New Orleans riverboat market with $22.2 million.
Among the racetrack slot parlors, Delta Downs, in Vinton, not far from the Texas state line, won more than $13.9 million, almost half the racetrack slot total. It was followed by Evangeline Downs, with just over $7 million; Harrah's at Louisiana Downs, $5.3 million and the Fair Grounds, $3.9 million.
Coal port facility bond sale OK'd
BATON ROUGE — An Ascension Parish coal port facility has received permission from state officials for a $130 million tax-exempt borrowing plan that will be used to expand the plant.
The Bond Commission approved the bond sale without objection Thursday, despite requests for postponement from New Orleans-based Alliance for Affordable Energy, which said the expansion would boost costs for customers of utility cooperatives.
Impala Warehousing LLC will use the money for improvements at its facility near Burnside to ship coal, primarily to international markets.
Trafigura Beheer BV, a Dutch trading company that owns Impala, says the Ascension Parish site will become a top coal and bulk logistics facility in the United States with the expansion.
Judge: Man who burned girlfriend is
habitual offender
MONROE — A 35-year-old Monroe man convicted of burning his girlfriend with an iron will be sentenced as a habitual offender.
The News-Star reports that state District Judge Wendell Manning ruled Wednesday that Allen Robinson is a habitual offender.
He was convicted Oct. 15 on aggravated second-degree battery and second-degree kidnapping of his girlfriend, who was burned on most of her body with a clothes iron in October 2010.
Accused grandma killer to be tried
LAKE CHARLES — A Calcasieu Parish judge says a 35-year-old man accused of killing his grandmother is competent to stand trial.
Carl Webb is charged with first-degree murder of 75-year-old Helen Webb in February 2009 .
The American Press reports that psychiatrists James Anderson and Garrett Rider both testified they believe Webb is competent.
Anderson said Webb claimed to have hallucinations but his descriptions were vague. Rider said Webb can tell right from wrong and understands the charges and their possible consquences.
Jazz drummer Bob French dies at 74
NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans jazz band leader and drummer Robert "Bob" French Sr. has died after a long illness. He was 74.
French was the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band drummer and band leader and an oftentimes outspoken and controversial deejay at WWOZ-FM.
Afflicted with dementia and suffering from diabetes-related complications, he then moved into an assisted-living facility.
He died on Monday.
Teacher furlough day ruled illegal
NEW ORLEANS — A state appeal court says that the Jefferson Parish Public School System illegally cut teachers' pay by imposing an unpaid day of leave for every teacher in the district.
The Jefferson Federation of Teachers sued the school board after it ordered the furlough. District Judge Steve Windhorst refused to make a pretrial order against it.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal sent the case back to him Wednesday, ruling 3-0 that the furlough violates state law forbidding school boards to cut an employee's salary below the previous year's level.

Kiss takes stock of its 40 years of luck, success
Gene Simmons, he of the long tongue and lascivious persona, is generally not one to wax nostalgic or sentimental.
But with Kiss eyeballing its 40th anniversary in 2013 — and a new album coming later this year — the self-styled, fire-breathing, blood-spewing rock 'n' roll demon allows himself a moment of unapologetic mistiness.
Kiss, Motley Crue and The Treatment perform at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 5, at the DTE Energy Music Theatre, Sashabaw Road east of I-75, Independence Township. Tickets are $50.50 and $90.50 pavilion, $36 lawn, or $108 lawn four-pack. Call 248-377-0100 or visit www.palacenet.com.
"We really come with love and admiration and appreciation for this thing called rock 'n' roll, because it's not just music," explains Simmons, 63, who co-founded Kiss as Wicked Lester during 1971 in New York, adopting the Kiss moniker in 1973 and selling more than 100 million albums globally since then, as well as enjoying a stature as one of the world's most popular live bands as well as a merchandising juggernaut.
"Rock 'n' roll is self-empowerment," he says. "It's the ability to get up on stage. You can be as fat as Meat Loaf for from another country (Israel) like Gene Simmons, speaking a language where the most popular sound is like a cat throwing up a hairball. We were all made fun of when we were kids — 'You look stupid! You don't walk right or talk right! or look right!'
"But then you get in a band and you get up on stage and you're on Mount Olympus. You're one of the gods. There's no other job that gives you that, so we never take for granted that it's the job we're fortunate enough to do."
The job has been keeping Simmons, Stanley and their current Kiss bandmates — guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer — plenty busy of late. Job One has been "Monster," Kiss' 20th studio album, which is due out Oct. 16. Produced by Stanley, who also helmed 2009's "Sonic Boom," the 12-track set is what Simmons calls "classic Kiss." It's also, he says, "one of the best or the top three albums we've ever done," ranking with Simmons' personal favorites.
"It's like 'Revenge' meets 'Destroyer," he says, "just guitar and drums, nothing else. No keyboards, no little boys' choir, no strings, no nothing. Band-written; literally we'd get in and strum guitars like the old days."
While the Kiss Army waits with baited breath, it's at least getting to hear the first single, "Hell or Hallelujah." "Paul came in with a guitar chordal pattern, and it was originally called something else," Simmons recalls. "Then a few days later he came back in and said, 'What do you think of 'Hell or Hallelujah?' and we all just sparked to it and went, 'Yeah, that's right.'" Continued...
Some of the album's other songs, meanwhile, have a bit more history. For instance, Simmons says he wrote "Eat Your Heart Out" during the '70s but made some significant changes for the version that appears on the album, while "Are You Ready?" is another "old song that was torn apart and re-written."
Kiss has dug into its vaults as well this year. It's issued a new photo book, also called "Monster," that costs $4,250 (you read that right), and weighs in at 45 pounds, 3 feet high and 2 1/2 wide.
"You don't need the coffee table," Simmons quips. "It IS the coffee table."
And the group has released a new version of its landmark "Destroyer," the 1976 album that declared the group's love for "Detroit Rock City."
"Destroyer: Resurrected" restores the landmark 1976 album's original cover — which was deemed too violent at the time ("The buildings lay in ruins, which was too much for the mom and dad and kids-friendly places," Simmons recalls) — and featuring an alternate version of "Sweet Pain" with a different guitar solo.
The double-platinum "Destroyer" was "a breakthrough, because we were able to move on to the next level," Simmons says. But he recalls it wasn't an easy sell at the time.
"When it first came out, the fans didn't understand it," he says. "It went up to about 890,000 copies sold, whereas the previous record, "Alive!," did millions.
"But then we came out with 'Detroit Rock City' as a single, and the B-side was 'Beth,' and Kiss was growing bigger and bigger and bigger. By that point we were doing stadiums ... and the merchandising was just exploding and it grew so fast that for the next three years we were the Gallup-polled No. 1 band in the world. Led Zeppelin and the Beatles were below us.
"It was a phenomenon, and we were caught up in the middle of it, so you're not aware of how big the storm is because you're in the eye of it. But we did know that we couldn't leave our homes or go anywhere without paparazzi hounding us and trying to get photos without the makeup. So it was a very peculiar time."
Simmons and company are happy to just have a busy time now — so busy that he claims he brought the curtain down on "Gene Simmons Family Values," his popular A&E reality TV show, in order to concentrate on the band. A fourth volume of its "Kissology" DVD series is coming, he says, with "everything you haven't seen before — archival stuff, backstage (footage), going all the way back to 1973." Continued...
And the group's current road trek with Motley Crue is the beginning of "a two-year long tour" that includes the Kiss Cruise on the high seas starting on Halloween, then will take the band to Africa, Israel, Asia, Europe and, Simmons promises, "everywhere."
"You know, I've always thought this was a wonderful world," Simmons says. "It's the world that enabled me to buy my mom a house, all that stuff. I don't shy away from it at all.
"And the more you're cognizant, the more you're aware of that world, my contention is the better your music will be and the more you'll do and the happier you'll make your fans. And in the end, that's really what we're here to do, and I mean that."

MIDDLEPORT — A proposal to convert the inside of the Middleport swimming pool, closed for several years, into a skate park has been made by Brewce Martin of Skatopia to Middleport Village Council.
Martin met with Council at its Monday night meeting and explained his plan for a $100,000 renovation. He discussed some of the structural issues which he said would have to be addressed, the need for checking the drainage system which is in place to be sure it would drain rain water, the need for walkways and fencing around the pool, and possibly bracing of the structure which would be required. He indicated he would do the work involved in the conversion.
On display was a large drawing on hardboard showing the proposed design for a skate park "as it would look like from the air," he said. He added that before anything was done, the public would have to be given the opportunity to contribute ideas for the design.
Martin agreed with village officials that it would take a lot of support in the community, but reminded officials that by converting it into a skate park that would "make it a community monument." He added that it would take a massive amount of money to remove the old structure.
Martin described skating as a positive, individual sport which he felt would appeal to many, but also agreed that community interest would have to be determined before work on such a project could be started.
As for funding to support the project, he mentioned the Tony Hawk Fund and several other grants that might be available.
Mayor Michael Gerlach suggested to Martin that he come up with a list of possible grant opportunities. He also said that an engineer would have to come in and check out the stability of some parts of the structure.

Michael Cina's Paintings Are A Wonderful Example Of Minimal Graphic Design
Alot of people probably know about the work of designer Michael Cina. I didn't. I came across a graphic painting of his and loved it for its minimal qualities. But I wanted more and so went googling after him. And what I found was marvellous work. A series of artworks that are clearly derived out of his career as one of Americas top designers.
For over 20 years Cina has been experimenting with typography, branding, illustration, fine art and photography and in the process has become one of Americas top designers. He's now making art, pushing himself into a space in which he is free to create for the sake of creating. Here's what he has to say:
It's something I do for myself, I don't really care if people know my work or design. I'm just trying to explore visual ideas and visual language. My background is rooted in minimal and graphic communication and visual narratives. I am exploring many different ideas in my practice, thus the form and medium is varied. My interest is in traditional art and building upon those foundations in new ways.

Beer Fridge - A Case Study in Thermal Design. Part 3 - Side Up or Upside Down?
Beer Fridge - A Case Study in Thermal Design. Part 3 - Side Up or Upside Down?
The futility of investigating the cooling effectiveness of any empty fridge is beginning to dawn on me, the irony of which is matched only by my new-years-resolution-inspired-sobriety. Never mind, let's see this particular study through… Whether in a beer ridden fury or in moments of Galilean scientific investigation, you might find yourself kicking the fridge over on to its side or even lifting it up and plonking it upside down. The door is tightly closed so why would the potential beercoolingosity in any way be affected? Let's find out.
As shown in the first blog in this series, the TEC only cools a small metal plate on the bottom face of the inside of the fridge. Air next to the plate is going to be the coldest inside the fridge, getting warmer the further away from the plate it gets. Even the most ardent non-engineer should know that 'hot air rises' (and 'heatsinks' but that's another story…). With the fridge upright and the cold plate on the bottom of the inside of the fridge the cold air just sits at the bottom with the warmer air stagnating above it. Once the fridge is on its side or upside down the air cooled by the plate dumps down to the bottom of the fridge mixing things up inside.
The main effect of this is to reduce the average air temperature. After a couple of assembly rotations and subsequent simulation conducted in FloTHERM, the following chart shows the effect of the rotations.
If you hail from the US, Burma or Liberia and thus do not officially use or mandate a metric system of units then you'd be more familiar with:
Either way, an empty electronic fridge sure doesn't get that cold.
In a little more detail, here are the temperature variations within the fridge, as predicted by FloTHERM:
The mixing effects of the cold dumping air can be seen when you start to animate the airflow inside the fridge (note I've reduced the temperature range to go from 14 to 16 degC, blue is =<14, red is => 16 to clearly show the hot air (rising) and the cold air (sinking), note that the speeds are not to 'scale'):
Think about the inverse of the problem; even my dog would intuitively know that putting a radiator on the ceiling would not be the best way to heat a room. There is more to product design than just thermal however. Simplicity leading to a reduction in manufacturing costs is going to be a biggie. The structural instability of having the heatsink, fan etc. on the top would maybe increase the risk of litigation. The point is is that such small fridges are not designed to be empty. Stock it full of beer cans and you might think it would not get as cold everywhere. You might have to think again…

VA Secretary Eric Shinseki invited American Legion National Commander Fang A. Wong to meet with him Sept. 29 at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in Washington. They discussed the importance of reducing the VA claims backlog, status of the Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record (VLER) project, and ways to help student veterans succeed on campus.
"We had a very cordial exchange," Wong said of his first conversation with Shinseki. "He was very open and I don't think he tried to sugarcoat anything. He took a lot of time to explain the background to some of my questions, which gave me a better insight into some of the (VA) programs."
VA has set a goal of reducing processing times of disability claims to no more than 125 days and increasing the accuracy rate of first-time claims processing to 98 percent. "When Shinseki took over at VA, the time length was about 180 days and the accuracy rate was somewhere in the low 80s," Wong said. "But he set a new target for 2015 that some observers felt was unachievable. The secretary's response to them was, 'How do we know it's not achievable unless we try it?' And he promised his people some new tools to help them out, things like automating part of the claims processing system that would help eliminate redundancy and the possibility of creating errors. So he's making good on that."
Wong said the average processing time for VA disability claims is currently about 160 days and the accuracy rate "is somewhere in the high 80s." He told Shinseki that, from the Legion perspective, "We would rather see higher accuracy than faster speed." Shinseki replied that the two criteria were not linked in the process and were being addressed separately.
Shinseki also explained to Wong that automated improvements to the VA claims process had to be put on hold because solving the timely delivery of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to veterans became a higher priority. That, along with the addition of three more presumptive conditions for veterans exposed to Agent Orange herbicide, slowed VA's progress in addressing the department's one million-plus claims backlog. "With that decision, he opened the door for another quarter-million claims," Wong said.
Another topic of interest to The American Legion was the timeline for implementing VLER, which is designed to provide servicemembers and veterans with seamless electronic health-care records that can be easily accessed by VA and the Department of Defense. Shinseki said that he and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates have agreed to prioritize approaches to creating the VLER system. First, the departments will try to find an "off the shelf" solution. If that doesn't work, they will search for the best available software and database management systems in the public or private sectors. The final option is for DoD and VA to build their own system from scratch.
Wong said VA is running some pilot programs related to VLER but that no firm date has been set to introduce the system.
Shinseki asked Wong whether The American Legion was focusing on any particular issues during his one-year term as national commander. "I said that getting jobs for veterans was a top priority for us. But that one word - job - includes a lot of considerations and activities to make it work," Wong said. Such as thousands of veterans using their GI Bill education benefits to get degrees that will make them more desirable candidates for employment.
"Shinseki is very concerned right now about the dropout rate among student veterans," Wong added. "It's about 50 percent for the first year of college and that is federal money being wasted if they don't graduate. So he wants the Legion to help make sure that our veterans stay in school and earn their degrees. Because if they don't, a lot of them will be unemployed and some of them may eventually become homeless because they couldn't earn a living."
Wong said that Shinseki has contacted a good number of colleges and universities, encouraging them to reach out and help their student veterans succeed. "He has gone as far as exploring some kind of arrangement with these schools that would assign a VA staff person to each institution of higher learning in the country who would assist student veterans on campus - as long as schools provides adequate office space. That's about 60,000 more VA employees."
If there is anything The American Legion can do to help student veterans on a nationwide scale, Wong told Shinseki, "We could get local Legionnaires to visit these campuses as volunteers and offer assistance to veterans who may be having some problems, whether it is getting used to academic life or getting paperwork filed properly for GI Bill benefits."
Another thing that could help reduce dropout rates among GI Bill students, Shinseki told Wong, is for more upper classmen to reach out and help student veterans who are just beginning their college experience.
"The idea is good. Upper classmen who are veterans have a lot of common issues, including post-traumatic stress and how that may affect their academic performance," Wong said. "They can share their experiences and lessons-learned with the freshmen arriving on campus. If you find a group of veterans at school who have experienced many of the same things, then you can find some comfort in that kind of understanding that will make the transition easier. When these veterans come back and go to school, the older veterans need to get with them and help them - keep them focused and make sure they graduate."
From the top, 160 days and high 80s accuracy rating from a 180 day, low 80s accuracy rating is certainly an improvement but call me cynical when I point out the 3-year successful numbers do not reflect a 125 day, high 90s accuracy rating being achieved by the 2015 projected date. - So, kudos on the improvement, but what is taking so long?
Next, Shinseki explained to Wong that he and the VA weren't good at multitasking thus the latest veterans issue of the moment had once again slowed the process. A two-minute chat with any vet that has ever visited a VAMC or clinic could have told the Commander the VA doesn't multi-task well, if at all.
Finally, perhaps the dropout rate is more a result of the veteran looking around him and seeing all the "college educated" being deemed over qualified for available employment, with no prospects for employment in their chosen field and not because upperclassmen veterans aren't supporting other vets efforts.
I filed two claims over one year ago with the Oakland Regional Office for ischemic heart disease, and open heart surgery in June 2010. Had to retire from my work due to this condition. Also suffer from PTSD and that claim took over one year to process. Spent most of my service time in Vietnam Army Engineers, I wish this process would take only 160 days, but I talked to another Veteran who told me his claim took 26 months, there needs to be a better system.
I have known myself to be a healer, ministering to others, for nearly as long as I can recall. My professional and spiritual selves are intertwined, and my life is "of a piece"...and surely handmade. Connectedness, authenticity, and deep experience--these are the themes of my spiritual journey.

I am disappointed that Commander Wong accepts this crap of 180 days to complete VA disability claims by the VA. Mine has been going on for three years, even with their so-called tiger team (they exist only to deny claims, and when they are challenged, they change their ruling) working on the claims. Look in the State of Georgia and then tell me 180 days (the man is either blind or stupid. I think that Wong needs to investigate before opening his mouth to give misinformation. I honestly thought he was there to help the veterans, not to buy what was told to him verbally. Maybe we need a commander who is not afraid to speak up and represent the veterans, that he claims to represent.

He noted that Iran is sending weaponry to Assad's forces "because they know his downfall would be a strategic defeat for them."
"We should be working no less vigorously through our international partners to support the many Syrians who would deliver that defeat to Iran -- rather than sitting on the sidelines," Romney said, making a change from the advance text of the speech that originally called for working "with" international partners. "It is essential that we develop influence with those forces in Syria that will one day lead a country that sits at the heart of the Middle East."
The Obama administration has limited direct aid so far to non-lethal support such as communications equipment. In addition, the United States is vetting rebels and working with Qatar and Saudi Arabia to make sure weapons go to preferred groups.
Administration officials have expressed concern about giving weapons to unvetted rebels for fear that the arms could fall into the hands of terrorists.
Romney also criticized Obama's overall approach to the Arab Spring uprisings in the Middle East and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
He argued that last month's attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans "should not be seen as random."
Instead, Romney said the violence "was likely the work of the same forces affiliated with those that attacked our homeland on September 11th, 2001," making a change from excerpts released in advance that described the attackers as likely the same forces from 9//11.
The recent assault in Benghazi, which took place on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington by al Qaeda, is under investigation by U.S. officials, with no formal word yet on exactly who was behind it.
In the United States, the intelligence community believes it was "a deliberate and organized terrorist assault carried out by extremists" affiliated with or sympathetic to al Qaeda.
The Obama administration has been criticized for initially blaming the attack on protests over an anti-Islam film produced in the United States, then acknowledging it was a terrorist attack.

On May 22, U.S. stocks rose at the open but then reversed sharply lower. The move coincided with congressional testimony by the Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International's market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.

With an energy content of 9 kcal/g fat, fat is a much denser source of energy than carbohydrate and protein. Fats perform several important functions in the body such as: being an essential component of cell membranes, walls and nerve fibers, supporting and cushioning vital organs, providing 70% of energy for the body in the resting state, assisting the absorption and transport of fat-soluble vitamins, and providing an insulating layer in the body to preserve body heat.
Fats are structures composed primarily of carbons and hydrogens with little oxygen, therefore they take longer to oxidize for energy. An important fuel energy during exercise are the free fatty acids (FFA) which are obtained from muscular, plasma, and adipose tissue fat sources.
FFA are long chains of carbon and hydrogen ending with a carboxyl group. Exercise increases lipid utilization of athletes. Extensive physical conditioning and endurance training have enhanced the capacity of skeletal muscles to oxidize FFA from adipose tissue, intramuscular fluid and plasma and thereby saving glycogen sources. For low intensity exercises such as baseball or golf, FFA oxidation is the primary source of fuel for energy.
There are three primary forms of fat:
The most abundant form of fat found in foods and in animal tissue are the triglycerides, where 95-98% of all fats consumed are in this form. Fat is stored in the body for fuel as triglycerides, the structure of which consists of three molecules of fatty acids and a glycerol molecule (CH2OH-CHOH-CH2OH). Most of the triglycerides are stored in adipose tissue (99%), and in small amounts in liver and muscle.
The fatty acids can either be of two types: saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fats have all their carbons bound to two hydrogen atoms, and these are primarily found from animal sources (meats and dairy products) and in some tropical oils (e.g. palm and coconut) and are solid. Unsaturated fats have one (monounsaturated) or more (polyunsaturated) double bonds between carbons. Unsaturated fats are liquid and are derived from fish and vegetable oil.
There are two forms of fatty acids that cannot be synthesized by the body and thus must be obtained in the diet: linoleic and linoleic acid. These essential fatty acids (EFA) are found mostly in vegetable oils, leafy vegetables, and in fish and seafoods. The EFA have a common structural feature: they contain a di-vinyl-methylene interrupted fragment. This structure makes EFA's essential to all animals.Phospholipids & Sterols
Phospholipids and sterols are not as abundantly found in the diet, only about 5% of fats consumed are of these two types. Phospholipids are similar to triglycerides, except they have one fatty acid replaced with a phosphate molecule and a nitrogenous component (e.g. choline).
Cholesterol is the most commonly known sterol, which are ring structures containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Phospholipids are found in the same sources as the triglycerides and cholesterol are found naturally in animal products such as red meat, whole milk and egg yolks.Fat Intake Concern
High intake of saturated fats and cholesterol have been associated with high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, obesity and possible cancer. Athletes should be aware no more than 30% of their caloric intake should be from fat when trying to obtain sufficient calories for physical activity. High-energy requiring sports (e.g. marathon running and cycling) often need increases of fat content in their diets. There are supplements containing high-fat ("weight-gainers").
