Tyson Fury claims he'd smash UFC 'midget' Velasquez
British heavyweight Tyson Fury sparked a new bout of boxing v MMA headlines on Thursday by claiming he would "smash" UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez.
Fury's reputation is as strong as it has ever been after he chalked up his 20th professional bout without defeat, and if he gets his way he will fight Vitali Klitschko for a world title in March.
However, if he cannot lure the Ukrainian into the ring, Fury appears more than willing to take on newly-crowned UFC star Velasquez, who won back the belt against Junior Dos Santos with a dominant performance on December 29.
Fury attempted to bait a response either from Velasquez or UFC president Dana White, claiming he is the real "baddest man on the planet", a label often used to describe the UFC heavyweight champion. And it appears Fury would even be willing to fight MMA rules against Velasquez to prove his point:
"If the Klitchkos [won't] fight me then I'll go and fight the MMA heavyweight champ, at least he is game. Wouldn't last 2 rounds," Fury tweeted.
"I'm the new baddest man on the planet, I'll smash @cainmma. Let's get it on!"
Fury then tweeted to Velasquez: "I challenge you to fight all in a cage or ring! It could be billed as the man vs midget. Let's get it on! You small stiff idiot."
Should an MMA bout ever be made between the two fighters, Fury would surely start as a heavy underdog against Velasquez, despite his severe height and reach advantage.
Velasquez is an elite-level wrestler who can win a fight standing or on the ground, and previous examples of such match-ups have proven boxers cannot compete under such rules. James Toney was easily dismantled by Randy Couture in the last such high profile bout, and Fury v Velasquez would be expected to go the same way.

When Caden Cotard wakes up, the first thing he does is look in a mirror. He sees a pudgy, middle-aged, balding, sad-sack of a human being. The rest of the movie will be like that: a merciless self-examination. Neil Gaiman, sci-fi and fantasy author, described most current literary fiction as "miserable people having small epiphanies of misery."… READ MORE >

Ninety-seven US Lawmakers, led by Representative Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), sent a letter Tuesday to the Department of Justice, in which they "strongly urged" the revision of its new guidelines for the treatment of sexual assault survivors to include information about emergency contraception (EC). The letter, to Diane Stuart, Director of DOJs Office on Violence Against Women, says that "by failing to even mention ... [emergency contraception] as a potential option for sexual assault victims, the department ignores a crucial opportunity to provide vital and time-sensitive health care to victims of rape and sexual assault." Maloney said, "It is clear that the administration's ideological opposition to choice now even extends to rape victims. Women who are sexually violated at the very least deserve the right to prevent unwanted pregnancies."
EC is exceedingly safe and effective if taken within 5 days but it is most effective (95 percent) if taken within 24 hours after any unprotected sexual intercourse, when a condom breaks, or after a sexual assault. EC has the potential to cut in half the 3 million unintended pregnancies in the United States each year and prevent as many as 800,000 abortions a year. In some states, such as New York, hospitals are bound by law to offer emergency contraception to rape victims. The Justice Department's recently released guidelines don't mention offering EC to rape victims - an omission that has spurred criticism from many womens, civil liberties, and health groups across the country.

EDELSTEIN — A passerby found the body of a 28-year-old Peoria man in a rural Edelstein cornfield Wednesday morning less than a mile from where the dead man's van had become stuck in the snow.
The death of James E. Clark Jr., who has previously listed addresses in towns in Stark County but was currently living with a girlfriend at 8503 N. Selkirk Drive in North Peoria, is under investigation by the Peoria County Sheriff's Office and Coroner's Office.
A farmer driving on Akron Road just west of its intersection with Illinois Route 40 first noticed the body less than 100 feet into the barren field north of the road about 8:10 a.m. and called police.
Clark was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:13 a.m., according to Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll. An autopsy to determine a preliminary cause of death is scheduled for Thursday.
The body did not have any obvious signs of injury, Ingersoll said. Clark was wearing a sweatshirt and jeans but no winter coat.
His van was found stuck in snow on Hakes Road south of that road's intersection with Akron Road — less than a mile from where the body was found.
Clark last spoke with his girlfriend about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, and was gone from their home when she returned to the residence about 8 p.m. He had not been reported missing by the time the body was found.
Investigators handle all unusual deaths as suspicious, but will have a better idea how to treat this incident following an autopsy, Peoria County Sheriff's Capt. Mark Greskoviak said.
"It's a death investigation — that's the best we can say on it at this time," Greskoviak said.

DOVER — The Seacoast is having a white start to the week as snow started falling in the Tri-City Region at approximately 2 p.m.
A Winter Weather Advisory was issued beginning around 1 p.m.
The snow has started as small, light flakes, alternating between as a moderate to light snowfall. But as time passes it is getting more intense.
Meteorologists at the National Weather Service in Gray Maine, told Foster's Daily Democrat that as of 11 a.m. the snow was moving across New York state and toward Vermont and making its way to New Hampshire.
A warm front moving across the region will not only bring a little reprieve from bitter cold temperatures, but will create conditions prime for snow and an icy, drizzly winter mix later on today, possibly during the evening commute.
The weather service issued the warning early Monday morning alerting residents and commuters to the possibility of two to four inches of snow by the end of the workday. That warning is currently in effect until about 6 a.m. Tuesday.
According to NWS, a weak, low-pressure system will likely bring a wintry mix including snow and ice to the region by nightfall. Light snow is expected throughout the afternoon and the late afternoon and early evening will have a band of snow that could raise accumulations to roughly four or five inches.
Freezing rain and ice is expected as the snow tapers off later in the evening and will create a mess for drivers traveling later on in the evening.
Meteorologists at NWS say most of the snow will be overnight and turn to freezing drizzle by early tomorrow morning.
Motorists are urged to use caution while driving and to be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibility.
Snow, icy drizzle expected to impact evening, morning commute

University of Montana Family Weekend Includes Haunted Building Tour [AUDIO]
Participants in the University of Montana family weekend, Friday through Sunday, October 18 through 20, will enjoy a host of activities, including a haunted building tour on campus.
Event coordinator Andrea Lewis said the entire weekend is a chance for families of UM students to connect with the campus and its many activities.
"Families will be coming to the campus after their student has had a chance to settle in a little bit, and get a flavor of what life at UM is all about," Lewis said. "On Friday, parents will be able to attend some classes with their student, plus we have a really fun social event planned at Spectrum discovery area in downtown Missoula, They are opening their doors for families to make a liquid nitrogen slushy. There will be lots of activities prior to the football game on Saturday, as well."
Lewis said the haunted building tour was a real hit last year, so it's coming back even bigger and better.
"This year it's really special because we were able to bring in the UM Players, a student theater group, who will be acting out some stories in two books," Lewis said. "The first is called 'Montana Chillers' and the second is called 'Montana Ghost Stories'. The tour will include four on-campus buildings, Main Hall, Rankin Hall, Brantley Hall and the George and Jane Dennison Theater, featuring some spooky events that have been described in these books."
Lewis said these activities are solely for participants registered for the family weekend. Over 1,200 people are expected on campus for the family weekend activities.

The basic case against New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's latest crusade — to outlaw the sale of extra-large sugared soft drinks — is Libertarianism 101: In a free country, people should have the right to do what they want, even if it's bad for them.
The major exceptions and complications to this basic principle don't seem to apply. Unlike secondhand smoke, my consumption of a Pepsi does no direct harm to anyone else. Unlike marijuana, sugary drinks have a perfectly adequate and legal substitute: sugar-free drinks. (Even if you can tell the difference between Coke and Diet Coke, you can't claim that the difference is very large.) And unlike a regulated pharmaceutical drug, a single dose of Coca-Cola won't kill you.
Furthermore, there are less-intrusive alternatives to an outright ban: You could require more prominent labeling of all soft drinks with their calorie counts and let people decide for themselves. Or you could apply the rule only to children.
The basic case in favor of Bloomberg's proposal is in some ways even more compelling: Bloomberg is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News' parent, Bloomberg LP, and therefore my boss. In all likelihood, therefore, he is right about soft drinks and sugar, just as he is right about almost everything. (And even that "almost" is only there as a sop to my dignity.)

The US is blessed with more handsets in our market than can possibly succeed. Yet as plentiful and as dizzying as the options are through carrier stores, there are still scores of phones that never find a place in providers' portfolios. Dipped in gold, imbued with innovative features, or just plain wacky to look at, here are some of the most attention-grabbing styles we've seen elsewhere.
Who wouldn't want to own a sleek, glass-backed number like the Sony Xperia Z2? This 5.2-incher impresses with its 20.7-megapixel camera, waterproofing, quad-core speeds, and cutting-edge mobile 4K HD video capture. An Android 4.4 KitKat OS ices the cake. Announced at MWC, the Z2 begins fanning out into Europe at the end of March, but there's no word of a US release. In fact, Sony only just recently sold a scaled-back variation of its popular Z1 with T-Mobile.
Good luck catching sight of the 5.5-inch Oppo Find 7 with its 2K display (2,560x1,440-pixel resolution). Although the brand-new aluminum-titanium handset, complete with its zoomtastic 13-megapixel camera, will make its way to markets outside China by mid-April, Oppo's absent relationship with US carriers means that the $599 off-contract phone will likely slip from your grasp.
That pivoting 13-megapixel camera module is all you really need to know about the Oppo N1's innovative design, though the 5.9-inch HD smartphone also has an invisible rear touch panel, Android 4.2, and a quad-core chipset. The N1 costs about $574 from Oppo's Web site, and does not support LTE.
The most noteworthy thing about the Nokia XL, and indeed, the entire Nokia X family of phones unveiled at Mobile World Congress, is its unusual operating system, a mashup of Android capabilities married to Windows Phone and Asha ecosystems and visuals. Strong hardware design and a price tag of €109 help target the Nokia X to emerging markets.
Put aside its sluggish performance and underpowered features for a moment to appreciate the Nokia Asha 503's unique design. Perfectly straight sides help it stand up on its own, always a fun little perk. But it's the clear plastic coating sheathing the yellow, red, blue, green, black, or white phone hue that gives this handset its eye-catching frozen-in-ice aesthetic.
Another phone that stands out more for its unique approach than for the adeptness of its day-to-day use, the YotaPhone has Android on the front and e-ink on the back. The Russian device-maker is all alone in this novel application. And you should see the packaging. Proving it has a fresh take on design, the YotaPhone's box literally unrolls to reveal the phone and cables. We look forward to spending more time with the second edition.
I'm guessing that few people would actually buy a gold-plated smartphone like the gilded HTC One, even if they could afford the hefty price tag. The truth is that none of the five 18-karat gold units, or two 24-karat gold versions were up for sale. Instead, HTC made them as giveaways to lucky prize winners for various contests. If, however, you're dying for a gold phone of your own, the Danish-made Aesir AE+Y handset is still on sale for €42,000 (you can buy the stainless steel version for a mere €7,250.)
It may not be dipped in gold, but the Vertu Constellation is chock-full of premium materials, from its sapphire crystal screen and titanium accents, to its genuine leather backing. It's the build materials that make this phone a hotshot, not exactly its specs -- but with its $6,000 price, it's all about the status anyhow.
Sold only in Korea so far, the Samsung Galaxy Round is already known worldwide for that deep curve that shows off the power of Samsung's flexible display technology. The phone itself won't bend; instead, it's captured in a perpetual smile. The Round has compelling Android features, to boot. US buyers longing for a phone with a curved display can buy LG's G Flex with three carriers, though the specs fall short of Samsung's product.
Introduced at CES 2014, the pretty, portable, and powerful Xperia Z1 Compact is just about the best sub-5-inch Android experience you can buy. Although it's being distributed in Europe, US residents can buy it unlocked only through Sony's online store, for about $600.
China's Vivo Xplay 3S sure boasts some top-notch specs, specifically its 6-inch, 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution display -- otherwise known as 2K. This sky-high resolution is a first for smartphones, but it's one we're expecting to see come to next year's high-end devices, especially the larger-than-5-inch set.
It doesn't hurt that the Xplay 3S also boasts a 5-megapixel front-facing camera to go with other top-tier innards: a speedy quad-core chip, 13-megapixel rear camera, and Android 4.3.
It's the Sailfish OS and two-tone casing that'll make you look twice at the Jolla phone. Birthed from the ashes of the Linux-based Meego OS abandoned by Nokia, this spinoff is at the very least a risky endeavor that's worth our notice. A slow starter, the Jolla phone sells in Europe for about €400.

Maisons be-Green: A Parisian Prefab On Display
During my recent trip to Paris, amongst all the historic masonry buildings, I stumbled upon this modern freestanding prefab residence and was lucky enough to be given a (partially) translated tour of the house, Maisons be-Green. Similar to the Smart Home at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago, this Parisian prefab was built as a demonstration structure to show new ways of building, as the French would say, "écologique."
I was surprised to find this structure because so much of the architecture in Paris, particularly the historic core, is old, masonry and dense. There are essentially no free-standing houses until you get to the outer perimeter of the city, and very few of the buildings I saw looked so modern. This idea of a free-standing structure was actually designed on purpose and was modeled after American residential architecture, with the primary concept being that this structure actually comprised of two residences (like a townhouse) with a shared central living space. This shared core housed the main entrance, patio, decks, bicycle storage, mechanical equipment, laundry and a green roof.
In addition to the concept of shared living spaces, the Maisons be-Green incorporated several other green elements:
- One residence is energy positive and the other meets the requirements of the local (BBC Low Consumption Building)
- Photovoltaic and thermal solar panels mounted on roof
- South-facing orientation with extensive amounts of glass for passive solar gain, with small triple-glazed windows on the north to prevent heat loss
- Natural light and ventilation, no air conditioning, radiator heating and a centrally located stove
- Heat pump systems for hybrid and natural gas
- A super efficient envelope with recycled cotton insulation, efficient windows, rain screen siding and a highly durable mesh exterior skin
- A green roof including a vegetable garden, compost system and vertical garden
- Intelligent, whole house automation system to monitor building energy use and consumption as well as control systems for the electronics throughout the residences.
- A super efficient powder room containing a self-cleaning (no toilet paper required!) TOTO toilet and a very small sink
Maisons be-Green was a collaboration between French magazines, Architectures à Vivre and Ecologik and architect Eric Wuilmot. The house will be on display until August 25 and guided tours are €4. For more information, photos and the building plans visit the project website here.

Furniture Focus Shopping List: Traditional Furniture Finds
During our Furniture Focus month, we've taken a couple of looks at traditional furniture in Apartment Therapy house tours — today we share examples of the style from the world of retail. A traditional piece can add a sense of history and authenticity to a home, as well as introducing new textures and patinas for an eclectic interior.
While a lot of traditional furniture tends to cost more from retailers — maybe because it demands more curvy lines or ornamentation than its modern counterparts, maybe for other reasons? — one piece can go a long way towards establishing a mood or introducing a new note. You can also always keep your eye out for antiques at estate sales or on Ebay, and I've included an Etsy example here, as well.
1. Sunburst Armoire from Wisteria, $1999
2. Calvert Sofa from Pottery Barn, $1599-1899
3. Chippendale Chair from Jayson Home and Garden, $495
4. Clark End Table from Overstock, $101.99
5. Carter Chair in leather, from Mitchell Gold Bob Williams
6. Rosette Sleigh Bed from Restoration Hardware, $1615-$2065
7. Sophia Chest from Grandin Road, $499
8. Louis XV Three-Seater Sofa from Wisteria, $1599
9. Entablature Bookcase from Restoration Hardware, $2295

11. Italian Campaign Bed from Anthropologie, $1250
12. "Natural" Dining Table from Horchow, $1758.90

Philip Murtha, veteran, firefighter who modeled for statue at Babylon Town Hall
As a serviceman for his country, a volunteer for his community and a family man, World War II veteran and former New York City firefighter Philip Murtha was a role model, both literally and figuratively. He posed for the Firefighters Memorial statue that now sits in front of Babylon Town Hall in Lindenhurst, and left a legacy of commitment in the service of others.

I remember calling my mother when Jack and Molly had their first hand-slappy, indignant-shrieky, all-out-bawling fight. "I thought had YEARS," I said, stricken. "YEARS before they started fighting!"
My mother just the laughed the laugh of the Been There, Done That, Oh Listen To Silly Ignorant You mother.
I swear Molly was something like five days old when this fight happened. It FEELS like it. It FEELS like I've been breaking up fights over toys, peeling one child off the other, refereeing intrusions of personal space and shouting, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR SISTER?" for FOREVER. And I look at them and see my brother and myself, fifteen months apart to Jack and Molly's sixteen months, and I see the next fifteen years of horrible miserable sibling strife.
My brother and I were not particular friends. He needled and taunted me, I threatened and talked down to him, and even in high school I remember him getting so angry with me, he picked me up and launched me over the back of the couch. FOR REAL. We're nice to each other now, but I suspect that's because we do not have to live in the same house.
So perhaps I am a smidge worried for my two kids. All this fighting and tormenting each other seems completely natural and normal to me, and I don't do much about it except remove the offending party and check the other for traces of blood. I'm a big fan of letting my kids play on their own (mama likes to check her email!) and now that we have this new house with a big fence, they are sent outside every sunny afternoon. Nine times out of ten, any crying or whining I hear through the window has to do with someone stealing someone else's shovel. It's the same inside - toy snatching, usually, or - my favorite - "MOLLYMOO IS SITTING IN MY CHAIR!"
No matter how acutely I remember the feeling of a younger sibling sitting in MY spot, I still don't want to hear about it!
Roughhousing is only a recent issue, and I'm not sure how much I need to worry about it. Jack is starting to play pretty rough, but most of the time I suspect he doesn't realize he's hurting his sister. When he tackled my friend's little girl today I think he was just excited, not malicious (not that he gets away with it!) I hear Molly's SOS a lot more these days, but she's no delicate flower either. I imagine one of these days she'll give as good as she gets. I did push my little brother off my bed and break his collarbone - he wouldn't get out of my room!
But I also remember my parents saying, for the thousandth time, "JUST IGNORE HIM!" And, "DON'T BE A TATTLETALE!" And, "NOW, NO ONE GETS TO PLAY WITH IT!" Oh, how I hated when they said those things. I remember sitting in my car seat, my brother poking me in the head, and being told to JUST IGNORE HIM. I do believe this is when I started composing blog posts in my head, big fat venomous rants about the injustices I was forced to suffer. I only had to wait another ten years for people to invent the internet.
Right now I handle fights and dangerous play by separating the kids and finding other things for them to do. If either kid purposefully hurts the other, that's an instant time out. I have NO idea what I'll do when sibling RIVALRY starts happening. I don't even want to THINK about it. I mean, is Jack going to come home from preschool with straight As and give Molly a complex? Is Jack feeling rotten because we constantly tell Molly she's a pretty girl? GAK.
What sibling stage are you in?

OT: Help finding funny recruit video
MGoBoard, I require your assistance. I once saw a video posted on the board which was a hilarious fake recruiting video. It featured a recruit who in every play was simply running off the field, standing on the sidelines, etc. I believe that I first saw the video summer of last year.
I've searched YouTube, MGoBlog, and the internet in general for this video but have been unable to find it. Does anyone know what video I'm talking about and where I can find it? I've referenced this video several times with a friend and he's expressed interest in seeing it.

Heat without Wade again, but win 27th straight
Orlando, FL – Many in Miami may be looking ahead toward Sunday's showdown with the San Antonio Spurs.
The Heat, however, still have three road games before their visit to the Alamo, including Monday's tilt with the Orlando Magic.
James had 24 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds and the Heat won their 27th straight game, a 108-94 triumph over Orlando.
"He's so big, he has the ability to survey the floor. When he wants to score, he can score. When he wants to pass, he can do that as well." Orlando head coach Jacque Vaughn said.
Miami is just six wins away from matching the Los Angeles Lakers' record of 33 wins in a row set in 1971-72, but the Heat's amazing stretch was nearly snapped by the Magic on March 6. James, though, came through with a go-ahead layup with 3.2 seconds left as the Heat held on to win 97-96 in Miami.
"Our historic run is about winning championships. That is what we want to be known for. We didn't have a goal in mind to say, 'let's go on a long consecutive win streak,'" James said.
The Heat, who were without Dwyane Wade for a second straight game due to a sore knee, will visit Chicago and New Orleans before Sunday's game with the Spurs.
Miami won its 13th straight road game, which is one off from tying the franchise mark set from Nov. 19-Dec. 29, 1996.
Jameer Nelson had 27 points and 12 assists to lead Orlando, which was without Arron Afflalo and Nikola Vucevic, who average 15.5 and 12.4 points, respectively. The Magic have dropped seven consecutive contests.
A quick 7-0 Magic spurt, capped by a Nelson step-back 3-pointer, tied the game at 68-68 late in the third quarter, but James scored seven points during Miami's 10-0 run to close the frame.
The Magic never seriously threatened again.
The Heat took a 78-68 lead into the fourth and the margin reached its peak at 20 over the final 12 minutes.
Miami has needed to overcome double-digit deficits in each of its last four win, and trailed 34-28 early in the second following back-to-back triples by Moe Harkless and Tobias Harris.
Later in the stanza, Rashard Lewis hit two treys during a 13-0 Miami run against his former team, with his second three concluding the run and making it 50-42 in favor of the Heat.
Miami took a 55-46 edge into the break.
Game Notes
Mario Chalmers tallied 17 points and five assists, while Chris Bosh added 12 points and nine boards for the Heat ... Miami was 15-of-28 from beyond the arc ... Miami's 27 straight wins are more than 10 NBA teams have so far this season.

"Wild Balkans"
The jagged contours of middle Europe with its thick forests, vast wetlands and deep chasms have thrown long, dark shadows over the history of the peninsula. It is as if the bloody history of the Balkans themselves conspired to conceal its natural wonders. The landscape is still untouched, and in it are wild animals that have all but vanished from the rest of Europe. G

NIH will not accept special characters or spaces in pdf file names.
The safest approach is to name all pdf files with letters and numbers only and WITHOUT SPACES.NIH's validations will allow the following legal and reserved URL characters:The legal characters in URLs are:A through Z, a through z, and 0 through 9Hyphen (-), underscore (_), period (.), exclamation point (!), tilde (~), asterisk (*), accent ('),left parenthesis ( ( ), right parenthesis ( ) )The reserved characters consist of:Semi-colon (;) slash (/), question mark (?), colon (:), at sign (@), ampersand (&), equals sign (=), plus sign (+), dollar sign ($), and comma (,)
Brackets ("[" and "]") are not accepted.When using Adobe Acrobat (and possibly other tools), the signature has to be "off" when you create the originals. Please go to the security options menu selection in Adobe to ensure the signature is off. If you do not have the originals, copy the content of the signed documents and create a new document. Save this document without signing it.
Applicants should not submit protected PDF documents.
Protected documents prevent NIH from opening and processing the document. Security settings vary by PDF tool, but please ensure security settings are not marked. Look at the Document Security tab under Document Properties (directly from the tab) and set the security parameters to ensure open access so NIH can process the content. For instance, do not password protect the document and do not mark Content Extraction or Copying; Document Assembly, etc as "Not Allowed."
If you are having trouble fixing the PDF settings, simply cut and paste from the PDF document into a Microsoft Word document and then reconvert (in some cases it may be better to use another PDF converter).
Note: NIH had previously suggested that applicants not use active links in PDFs. NIH has since addressed the issue and applicants can now include active links in PDFs."Editable fields are now allowed (fields that can be filled using your PDF Reader software, e.g., text fields, check boxes).Until recently, NIH wasn't able to convert such documents, but they have solved that problem.

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides support services to employees and their immediate families in times of need or crisis. The EAP staff can provide professional assistance to you or a family member on a wide variety of issues: family problems, financial problems, grief and loss, work conflicts, depression, anxiety, stress or substance abuse. Their goal is to help you assess your situation, determine available resources, and develop a plan for resolving the issue. Over its nearly 30 years in existence, the EAP has developed a wide range of resources for helping employees resolve personal and/or professional issues that may be troubling them. In addition to assessment and referral, EAP also offers a variety of training programs for professional and personal development.
EAP services are available to all Broward County Government employees, their domestic partners and family members. There is no charge for EAP services.
Protecting client confidentiality is the cornerstone of a successful EAP, and essential to establishing the trust that enables an employee to share personal information and ask for help. EAP staff is personally and professionally committed to ensuring the privacy of employees who communicate with them.
If your supervisor refers you because of performance issues or problems on the job, it is our policy to let him/her know if you have kept your appointment. No information concerning the nature of your problem will be released without your written consent. If you are referred by your union representative, the same courtesy will be extended to him or her.
Review Employee Confidentiality Protection Policy: EAPA CODE of Ethics (PDF)
When you contact the EAP for help with a personal problem, a licensed mental health professional will meet with you to assess the situation and advise you of available options for assistance, either through your health insurance provider, or through other resources in the community. If you decide to seek counseling, it is important to know what you can realistically expect to accomplish, as well as how to maximize your insurance benefit. The EAP can help you "hit the ground running" by clarifying your treatment goals and objectives and guiding you in selecting a treatment provider you can feel comfortable working with, someone who has demonstrated expertise in your area of need. If you will be using your county insurance, the EAP will provide you with a referral and obtain authorization for treatment from your health insurance company. Once you begin counseling, the EAP remains available for consultation and support until the problem is resolved.
Life is difficult and stress is part of the very fabric of modern life. We all wear many hats and juggle numerous responsibilities. Simply finding the time to tend to the basics can be a real challenge, never mind finding time for R & R, for personal growth or for furthering one's education.
Life also has a way of throwing us curves - things don't always go the way we planned and change is constant - it's a virtual certainty that we're going to hit a few "rough patches." Most of us make it through the tough times, usually a bit wiser for having had the experience, yet there are times when we get overloaded and feel overwhelmed, or we get stuck and just can't seem to resolve our problems - the same issues resurface over and over again. These are the times when reaching out for help can make all the difference. Sometimes all we need is some extra support, a different perspective or a few new coping skills.
You don't have to be in crisis to ask for help; in fact, early intervention gets the best results. Remember, problems either get better or they get worse. If they're not getting better, they're probably getting worse. Don't wait until things are out of control. Call your EAP sooner rather than later!
Personal problems don't always impact job performance; however, when someone is having problems on the job, invariably there are also personal problems. If you're missing work or are having trouble getting in on-time, if you can't get along with co-workers or your productivity is slipping, if you've lost your edge and just can't get back on track . . . don't wait for your supervisor to refer you because of poor performance or behavior problems. Take control, put yourself back in the driver's seat. Call your EAP and make an appointment today. Participation in the EAP will not jeopardize your job security or future promotional opportunity. In fact, solving the problems that may be affecting your job performance can only enhance your career development. Remember, if you self-refer to EAP, no one will know unless you tell them.
To take advantage of confidential screening tools that help you self-assess for depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse or other issues, view the Self Assessment Tools. To speak to someone or make an appointment with EAP, call 954-357-5600. The EAP is located at 540 N.E. Fourth St., Suite 100, Fort Lauderdale.
In the event of a mental health crisis outside the hours of 8:30am-5:00pm Monday-Friday, please call the Henderson Behavioral Health Mobile Crisis Response Team at 954-463-0911.

Utah Family Sells Home; Setting Out on RV Trek
October 17, 2013 by RVBusiness Comments Off on Utah Family Sells Home; Setting Out on RV Trek
An Ogden, Utah, family sold nearly all their possessions to buy an RV and travel the country together for at least a year, according to a report by KUTV, Salt Lake City.
At first, the goal for the Poulters was to get rid of clutter and liberate themselves from material burdens. But soon they had their house on the market.
"Our house sold in two days and everything. It was just simple and easy, like it was meant to be," said Karrie Poulter.
Two weeks ago, the family began living in their new 38-foot RV, parking it outside work or family's homes.
"I think what we're really trying to do is to downsize our American super-sized lifestyle," said Roan Poulter.
Karrie, Roan and their two kids, Aleksa, 15, and Kaden, 13, will embark on their trip Saturday (Oct. 19). They are looking forward to stops at Disneyland, Disney World and other famous landmarks, as well as the smaller places in between.
"Cherry blossoms in D.C.," Roan said. "I can't wait to have lobster in Maine. I can't wait to take the kids to Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone."
Aleksa wants to see the Liberty Bell and the historic Northeast; Kaden is looking forward to sunny California and Florida.
Roan is taking a partial sabbatical from his job in Layton, where he works for a defense contractor. He will continue doing some work, while also writing a book about a family that takes an international journey together.
"I love my job but I am head-over-heels in love with my family," Roan said. "There's nothing I'd rather do than be with these goofballs."
Aleksa and Kaden enrolled in Utah Virtual Academy, beginning classes online in September. A solar-powered battery pack and wifi allow the teens to log in from the RV and continue their education. While the structure is looser than in their old school, they're learning even more, Aleksa said.
"I can send emails to my teachers in case I have questions or anything," Aleksa said of accelerated classes she often takes in her pajamas.

Variety on Eight Harry Potter Films: Possibly Grossing 7 Billion in Worldwide Box Office
Jul 12, 2009
DH Film
Here is an eye opening number for you: Variety has a new article online listing the upcoming blockbusters in Warner Bros lineup for the next four years, with the piece reading "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," directed by Yates and
starring Radcliffe, Watson and Grint. Opening July 15, 2011. The eight
films will probably win up grossing somewhere around $7 billion in
worldwide box office."
The industry magazine also has a second article online where it notes WB's continued investment in the Harry Potter franchise, mentioning the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park currently under construction in Orlando, Florida. The 20-acre venture will feature a slew of rides, restaurants and
attractions based on the books and films, including a 150-foot
recreation of Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade Village. Rides will feature
cast members from the pics." Readers will recall of course that actress Emma Watson recently confirmed that she filmed a piece to be used as part of one ride for certain.
Finally in an odd related note, on Friday, Harry Potter producers David Heyman and David Barron, along with director David Yates were the celebrity guests to ring the closing bell on Wall Street; photos here in our galleries.

With little downtime and boasted as the only female sterilization birth control method administered vaginally, fallopian tube coils such as Essure may have you wondering if this form of family planning is for you.
The coil birth control method
From the procedure itself to the follow-up appointments, learn more about hysteroscopic tubal sterilization.
Fallopian tube coils procedure
Hysteroscopic tubal sterilization is a permanent form of birth control that uses small coil-like implants that cause tissue growth to block the fallopian tubes. By closing off your eggs' path from your ovaries to your uterus, the sperm cannot fertilize the egg — and pregnancy is prevented. "Hysteroscopic tubal sterilization is a good choice for busy women because downtime is minimal, given that there is no cutting or incisions required," explains Kurian Thott, M.D. about the procedure. "The procedure uses all natural openings, so it is a simpler process versus tubal ligation." The fallopian tube procedure is typically performed in the doctor's office with local anesthesia and takes an average of three months for the tubes to become completely blocked and fully effective to prevent pregnancy.
Discover the hidden health benefits of birth control >>
What to expect after hysteroscopic tubal sterilization
While coil sterilization is done as an outpatient procedure, some women experience menstrual cramp-like pain, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, bleeding and spotting according to reports by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Afterwards, "Your very first visit in most cases occurs around two weeks after the procedure," explains Dr. Thott. "Your follow-up visit may or may not include a pelvic exam to check for bleeding, coil placement, etc."
"At the three-month mark, a test is performed via a hospital setting to confirm that the patient's tubes have sealed over using a contrast dye injected by small catheter via the cervix." Then, an X-ray procedure, called a hysterosalpingography is performed real-time to verify that the fallopian tubes are in fact fully blocked with scar tissue. "In very rare cases where full seal is not achieved, it is recommended that the patient wait a month and repeat the test."
Coil sterilization controversy
While many successful hysteroscopic tubal sterilization procedures have been performed since the FDA approved the Essure device in 2002, Erin Brockovich (of groundwater contamination case against Pacific Gas and Electric Co. fame) is drawing attention to the hundreds of cases of women claiming severe adverse reactions to the permanent sterilization method. Essure states that less than 1 woman out of 1,000 will become pregnant within 5 years of having the procedure, but when you're caught off-guard finding out you're expecting post-procedure like patient Dolly Pena, you're sure to be up in arms. "I had this procedure done last year. I did an HSG test where [the test] confirmed that my implants were placed correctly and everything was a total success as per the doctor. This year I notice weight gain, one coil expelled out of my body and then the following week I found out that I was expecting." Stephanie Bohorquez, of Kingwood, Texas is also regretting the coil sterilization method. "Both tubes are blocked completely and in correct position. However, I have a third coil embedded in my uterus."
Explore the history of women's contraceptives >>
Regardless of whether you're using Essure fallopian tube coils for family planning or are using them in conjunction with an ablation procedure, talk to your doctor to ensure that hysteroscopic tubal sterilization is the right birth control method for you.

The Spartanburg Public Safety Department is investigating an armed robbery outside an East Main Street credit agency Wednesday morning.
The Spartanburg Public Safety Department responded to a robbery outside an East Main Street credit agency Wednesday morning.
An employee of Quick Credit, located at 435 E. Main St., Suite 5, told officers that an unknown man approached her in the business parking lot as she was walking to her car with a bank deposit bag under her arm. The woman said the man said, "Hey, ma'am, I'm going to have to get this from you," and pulled the bag away from her, an incident report states.
The woman said the man suspect hit her with something on the left cheek, but she never saw a weapon, according to the report. After grabbing the bag and hitting her, the man ran away.
A witness at the scene, who is an employee of the South Carolina Department of Corrections, told officers that he chased the man as he was running away and fired a warning shot into the air.
Officers responded to the scene at approximately 9:20 a.m. and blocked off a section of the parking lot with police tape.
The suspect was last seen getting into a black Dodge Durango with a bicycle rack or luggage rack on top, police said.
The man is described as black, 6-feet, 1-inch tall and about 160 pounds, according to the report. He has a goatee, and the woman described him as having sunken eyes. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
The green money bag contained a large sum of cash, according to the report.
Capt. Art Littlejohn said investigators had no new information Wednesday afternoon. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC, or text TIP649 with a tip to CRIMES (274637).

Hi Jack, hi Jon!
I wonder whether it would be hard to extend either JS Builder or the Java command line port to support building a concatenated Javascript file with documentation included. Or is this feature even already implemented?
So why bother about documentation in JS files? Intellij IDEA has a nice feature that allows displaying Javascript documentation for a method/class easily from within the editor via a shortcut. IDEA extracts the documentation on-the-fly from the source code. Since we include only the ext-all.js and the ext-all-debug.js in our project having an ext-debug.js with included Javascript documentation would come in very handy.
btw: will the Java source code be made available soon?

Black Employees Subjected to Racial Insults, Federal Agency Charges
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Stokesdale, N.C.-based Yates Construction Company, Inc. violated federal law by subjecting African American employees to a racially hostile environment and by firing one of its African-American employees for complaining about the situation, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's complaint, in 2007 and 2008 Rodney McCants was subjected to unwelcome derogatory racial remarks and comments by his supervisors and a co-worker at the company's various worksites in North Carolina. The EEOC contends that McCants' supervisors and the co-worker repeatedly used racial slurs such as "n-----r", frequently accompanied by other epithets, in referring to McCants and other black employees. McCants was also subjected to racial jokes about African Americans.
The EEOC said McCants complained about the harassment on at least two occasions in around November 2007 to the company owner, his superintendent and project manager, and again around April 2008 to the company vice president. However, the EEOC said, Yates Construction failed to stop the harassment and terminated McCants in April 2008 in retaliation for his complaints.
Additionally, the EEOC charges that other similarly situated African American employees were subjected to a racially hostile work environment at Yates Construction's work sites beginning at least in 2007. The complaint alleges that other black workers were subjected to racial slurs and comments on a daily or almost daily basis.
Racial harassment and retaliation violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina against Yates Construction (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Yates Construction Company, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:09-cv-00687), after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The agency seeks back pay, along with compensatory and punitive damages for McCants. Additionally, the agency seeks compensatory and punitive damages, as well as injunctive relief, for all aggrieved employees.
Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney of the agency's Charlotte District Office, said, "These employees were constantly insulted in front of their non-African American counterparts and subjected to racial slurs on a daily or almost daily basis. This type of egregious behavior should not be tolerated by any employer and serves a painful reminder that severe racist behavior still exists in today's workplace. It is the EEOC's mission to eliminate discrimination in the workplace, and we will vigorously prosecute cases like this."
Tina Burnside, supervisory trial attorney in the Charlotte District Office, added, "Employees have a right to work in an environment free of racial harassment, and employers have a duty under federal law to address complaints of racial harassment. Employers cannot simply ignore racial harassment complaints and then retaliate against an employee who complains about unlawful conduct."
Yates Construction specializes in projects such as highway construction, utility construction and site preparation, and it employs approximately 180 people.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Energy & Atmosphere (EA)
EAc1 - Optimize Energy Performance (7/10)
EAc3 - Enhanced Commissioning (1/1)
EAc4 - Enhanced Refrigerant Management (1/1)
Not attempted: EAc2 - On-Site Renewable Energy (0/3); EAc5 - Measurement & Verification (0/1); EAc6 - Green Power (0/1)
Credit 1 - Optimize Energy Performance: These points are given to a building for meeting increasing levels of energy efficiency and performance above the existing code. By ensuring a high level of energy performance - 35% above code - the Rhode Island Hall design team reduced the costly economic and harmful environmental impacts of unwarranted energy use. They did this by putting the building on the main heating loop, utilizing particularly efficient ventilation systems (those with Variable Air Volume boxes), T-5 fluorescent lamps which require five times less electricity than incandescent lighting equivalents, dimming systems for all lighting to ensure that there is never an excess of light and increased insulation. The existing 2-foot thick walls of Rhode Island Hall provide excellent insulation, but to further reduce the amount of heat that escapes from the building, additional fiberglass insulation was installed. Furthermore, R-33 spray-on insulation was used for the roof and existing skylights were uncovered to provide daylight and reduce artificial lighting needs. Rhode Island Hall earned 7 of 10 points in this section for excellent energy performance.
Credit 3 - Enhanced Commissioning: This credit builds onto the first prerequisite: fundamental energy commissioning. Rhode Island Hall earned this point by requiring its commissioning team, CTG Energetics, to begin its commissioning process early in the design and construction process and to devise systems manuals for the operating staff of all commissioned systems in the building. The manuals ensure that the people operating the building's systems, such as heating and cooling, know how to maintain and optimize them, keeping energy use at a minimum.
Credit 4 - Enhanced Refrigerant Management: This credit builds onto the third prerequisite: fundamental refrigerant management. This credit was earned for installing fire suppression systems that do not include substances that contribute to ozone depletion and global warming such as CFCs, HCFCs, and Halons. Rhode Island Hall also uses chilled water for its air handling units to minimize the emission of these environmentally harmful compounds.
Credit 6 - Green Power: This project purchased a two year renewable energy contract for 232,257 kWh, or 70% of the building's total usage over a two year period. The impact of Rhode Island Hall's action helps avoid up to 259,863 pounds (118 metric tons) of carbon dioxide emissions from being emitted into the atmosphere. The project's maximum LEED points have a similar impact as 1,069 fully mature trees planted, or 259,864 miles not driven by an average passenger car.

Final Rule Follows Issuance of EEOC Policy Guidance on Harassment
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today issued an interpretive final rule rescinding subsection (c) of its guidelines on sex discrimination and national origin discrimination (29 C.F.R. Part 1604.11 and 1606.8) to conform with recent Supreme Court rulings on employer liability for harassment by supervisors. The other sections of the guidelines remain in full effect. A text of the final rule is scheduled for publication in today's Federal Register and is also available on the Commission's web site (www.eeoc.gov).
"EEOC's revised guidelines, along with the recently issued policy guidance on harassment, clarifies the legal standard under which employers are held responsible for harassment by supervisors," said EEOC Chairwoman Ida L. Castro. "These guidances will assist employers and employees in understanding their rights and responsibilities in accordance with the Supreme Court decisions and the laws enforced by the Commission."
Issuance of the final rule follows the June 18, 1999 release of EEOC's comprehensive policy guidance on Vicarious Employer Liability for Unlawful Harassment by Supervisors. The policy guidance, which analyzes Supreme Court rulings in Burlington Industries v. Ellerth and Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, states that the Commission will delete subsection (c) of its guidelines on workplace bias based on sex and national origin -- which is no longer valid due to the Court's rulings.
In Ellerth and Faragher, the Supreme Court ruled that employers are "vicariously liable" for harassment by supervisors. However, if the harassment did not result in a tangible job action, the employer can raise an affirmative defense that it exercised "reasonable care" to prevent and correct the harassment, and that the employee unreasonably failed to use its complaint procedure. EEOC's policy guidance explains the new standard of liability.
The rescission of subsection (c) was published as an interpretive final rule without a notice of proposed rulemaking and solicitation for public comment because it is not a significant regulatory action. The next publication of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) will incorporate the revision to EEOC's guidelines on sex and national origin discrimination.
The final rule, policy guidance on harassment, and other information about the Commission are available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov, or by writing to EEOC Headquarters, Office of Communications and Legislative Affairs, 1801 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20507.
The EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991.

Well, no one ever convincingly argued that a diet of fast food is good for your health.
And now it could be unhealthy for some of the people who work there – without them having to eat so much as a bite of their products.
In anticipation of the healthcare overhaul that takes full effect next year, a couple of Taco Bell and Wendy's franchises in Oklahoma and Nebraska are evidently cutting back the hours of employees to dodge requirements of the healthcare reform law.
It was admittedly not the best thought-out part of the healthcare overhaul, requiring companies with 50 or more employees working 30 or more hours a week to offer healthcare coverage. It all but screams out, "Please, cut me to 29.5 hours!"

DAYTONA BEACH SHORES — Five years after opening Exit Realty of Daytona in 2008, Aswin Suri decided not to renew his franchise agreement and has sold the company assets.
"I weighted the pros and cons of renewing for another five years and I just couldn't justify it," Suri said. "Also, I am burned out managing a company and decided to simplify my life to just focus on sales and other non-real estate businesses. So I sold the business."
Crystal Anderson, owner of V.I.P. Cleaning, bought Exit Realty of Daytona's listings, property management/rental agreements, office furnishings and equipment for an undisclosed amount. Anderson merged the assets into Oceans Luxury Realty where she is co-owner with Enis Qosja, who is also the agency's broker of record.
Oceans Luxury Realty was founded in 2012, after Qosja left Exit Realty of Daytona and opened the new agency at 2040 S. Atlantic Ave. in Daytona Beach Shores. The office is in a former gift shop building owned and renovated by Anderson. Oceans Luxury Realty opened a second office Dec. 9 at 3162 S. Atlantic Ave., Daytona Beach Shores, the former leased office site of Exit Realty of Daytona.
"I came here about 15 years ago and have known Aswin and his family since I started cleaning short-term rentals and branched out to other agencies. We specialize in cleaning short term rentals, including those managed by Aswin. I also own many rental properties that Exit (Realty of Daytona) was managing," Anderson said. "Then this whole thing just kind of exploded. It's been a quick reaction, V.I.P. to Oceans and Exit. These people have been like my family for years."
Qosja left Exit Realty of Daytona to fulfill a long-held dream of owning her own office, she said. Anderson bought the former gift shop that was renovated for the first Oceans Luxury Realty office that does residential sales and rental management and commercial sales.
Then Suri decided not to renew his Exit franchise, and the women made him an offer.
"At the end of the day looking at the bottom line, it made more sense to just do sales. Being an owner pulled me out of the business. I'm going back to being an agent. Less stress. I've hung my license with Oceans Luxury Reality and already have several million-dollar property listings," Suri said.
Suri said he had up to 60 agents at one point, but was left with 30-35 when he closed the business.
About 26 former Exit Realty of Daytona agents have moved over to Oceans Luxury Realty, raising its total to more than 30, said Qosja.
"We're moving quickly and it's exciting," Qosja said.

The phone rings, and the caller says, "I need a business plan. How much will it cost, and how soon can it be finished?"
The phone rings, and the caller says, "I need a business plan. How much will it cost, and how soon can it be finished?"
The caller's tone of voice provides a clue of whether he is in research mode or desperate for a loan. But I need more. I thank him for calling and ask, "Are you in business now or thinking about starting one? Have you ever seen a business plan?"
I usually review components of a plan so potential clients gain a quick insight into the detail required. The main sections will be the narrative and the appendix. The narrative breaks the story into several headings. An appendix will hold everything else. A cumbersome appendix may be subdivided for financial, personnel, marketing, demographics, etc.
The narrative describes the business, ownership, funds needed, potential market and customers, employees (if any), geographic territory, etc. The trick is to cover everything without drowning a reader. The document needs to be complete yet not too complicated or clumsy for a lender or internal use.
Plans should be used over the long haul for guidance, for comparison to actuals and updating. They are not dust collectors.
The appendix opens to cash flows and supporting schedules for the future one, two or three years. The cash flow forecast is a prediction of the checkbook. Existing businesses will include historical financials. The appendix will include the owner's resume as well as those of any significant investors or employees.
Getting back to that phone call ... phone conversations usually roll along in a positive direction. Some callers make an appointment, other say they'll think about it. Unfortunately, many individuals have already spent a lot of money and are nowhere near getting a business started, while others are already operating, and are bleeding money. The latter are basically broke or close to it and desperate to present a business plan to a lender yesterday.
And then there was the memorable caller already overwhelmed by the lender's personal financial statement, who needed me to complete the form and write a full business plan. I provided a rough estimate for the job, to which she replied, "Oh, no, I want all that, but will only pay you for two hours."
I told her that was impossible and recommended she continue her research.
Plan the plan, realize it takes time to plan, think of every single dollar you will need to spend and record it all in an organized manner before the spending begins. Scattered thoughts come together in a business plan like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. First a corner snaps together or an edge starts to form, and later the complete picture emerges. Lenders love to base loans on solid plans, but not to entrepreneurs already overextended with no wiggle room.
