In response to overwhelming demand, the United Fresh Produce Association Foundation has announced that it is offering its popular "Training for a Recall, Communicating Under Fire" course in an online webinar format. The course, presented through the United Fresh Foundation's Center for Food Safety and Quality, consists of six weekly, hour-long sessions beginning March 11.
The six-part course features representatives from FDA and legal professionals, as well as crisis communication and food safety experts, helping participants gain a firm grasp on a company's rights and responsibilities during a recall, how to limit liability and manage customer expectations, and the steps involved in guiding a company through a product recall as smoothly as possible.
"We've received a fantastic turnout for each in-person version of this course, but space was limited," said United's Senior Vice President of Member Services Victoria Backer. "This new online series provides a cost-effective opportunity for us to reach a much broader audience, bringing the same industry-leading concepts and exercises from the recall course right to the participant's desk."
Program presenters include Larry Howell, recall and emergency coordinator for the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, David Durkin of Olson, Frank & Weeda, United Fresh senior vice president of Food Safety and Technology Dr. David Gombas, and Ray Gilmer, United's vice president of communications.
"A product recall can be devastating to a company's bottom line and reputation," said Gilmer. "The companies that are best prepared can weather the storm and minimize the impact of a recall. This course helps companies ensure that each person on their staff knows how to work together to properly handle a recall."
Registration for the course is $495 for United Fresh members; $695 for non-members, and registration can be done online at www.unitedfresh.org/recallcourse. For more information, contact United Fresh education manager Julie Jacocks at 202-303-3400, ext. 405, or at [email protected]

We really can't handle the truth: Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson is retiring from acting.
Nicholson, 76, quietly stepped down from a 50-year career. "Jack has — without fanfare — retired," an insider told Radar Online.
The rationale behind his decision has to do with his aging.
"There is a simple reason behind his decision — it's memory loss. Quite frankly, at 76, Jack has memory issues and can no longer remember the lines being asked of him," the source revealed. "His memory isn't what it used to be."
Nicholson, who was nominated for a record 12 Academy Awards for acting (winning three), will continue enjoying the spotlight — just not starring in it.
"Jack has no intention of retiring from the limelight," the source said, noting the Oscar winner's regular courtside Lakers games and Academy Award presentation with First Lady Michelle Obama in February.
"He's not retiring from public life, at all. He just doesn't want a tribute," the source said. "He's happy to tacitly join the retirees club like Sean Connery."
We'll miss you, Jack!

Space Pictures / Io (Update)Use the arrows above the picture for navigation and click the picture itself to see the 'Update' and 'Original' versions.
| Title: Babbar Patera, Io
Source: U.S. Geological Survey, Flagstaff, Arizona
Information: Io, the innermost of the large Galilean satellites of Jupiter, is the size of our moon. Voyager discovered in early March, 1979 that Io is the most volcanically active planetary body known in the solar system, with continuous eruptions much larger than any that take place on the Earth. The red, orange, and yellow colors of Io are thought to be deposits of sulfur and sulfur compounds produced in these eruptions. Io's dynamic activity is a result of an orbital resonance with the nearby moon Europa that forces it into an irregular orbit. Under ordinary circumstances, Jupiter's strong gravitational pull would keep one hemisphere of the moon facing the planet at all times, but the forced irregularity causes Io to move at different velocities along its orbit, and the side facing Jupiter "rocks" back and forth. Tidal forces develop inside Io that generate heat through friction, and most of the interior remains partially molten as a result.

The personal information and credit card details of 35
million Steam account holders may have been compromised following an attack by
A security breach of the Steam discussion forums led to an
investigation by the service's owner Valve, which then uncovered the intrusion
into the user database on 6 November last.
The attackers used login details from the forum hack to then
access the database which contained user names, hashed and salted passwords,
game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card
Steam, a video game download service, which currently has 35
million users, shut down the forums once the attack was detected, initially
saying it was for maintenance.
However a statement by Valve boss, Gabe Newell, posted on
the site last night, confirmed the extent of the attack. He also said that
despite credit card and account information being compromised there was no
evidence so far that it was being misused.
"We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers
or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the
protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still
investigating," Newell said.
Newell did however warn users to keep an eye on their credit
card account for any strange activity.
While only a few forum member accounts are known to have
been hacked, all members will be required to change their password when they
try and login in again. However as the company doesn't know of any Steam
accounts being compromised, it won't be forcing a password change there.
The forums are still out of action on the Steam site, but
Valve has said it is woking on getting them back up and running as soon as

Hiring boards or buying equipment and clothing is super simple; you can even invest in an authentic Fiji surf board designed and hand crafted in the islands, blending traditional carving methods with modern technologies.
Windsurfers and kiteboarders alike also love holidaying in Fiji. The warm 15-30 knot south-easterly trade winds blow best and most consistently from April to January and the sandy shallow beach slopes dotted around the country are perfect for all levels to take off from.
Stand up paddle surfing is also popular in Fiji. Never tried it before? Why not give it a go? You can stay at a dedicated surf resort or join daily trips out to the waves from the mainland – heck, you could even charter a yacht and sail to Lau to in search of remote, undiscovered waves to surf if you wanted to! Grab your board - surf's up!

Beam Transfer Optics
The Laser Guide Star Facility (LGSF) provides the telescope Adaptive Optics (AO) facility with a source of coherent light for the optical excitation of the mesospheric sodium layer to enable the production of an artificial beacon source or "guide star". The LGSF subsystems are: the Laser System, Beam Transfer Optics (BTO), Laser Launch Telescope (LLT), and Safety Systems.
The Beam Transfer Optics (BTO) subsystem of the LGSF relays the laser beam(s) from the output of the Laser System to the input of the Laser Launch Telescope (LLT). The BTO include multiple mirrors, lenses, and beam splitters, as well as various sensors and diagnostic equipment. The part of the BTO that relays the laser beam from the Laser System to the top-end ring of the telescope is called the BTO Optical Path (BTOOP), while the part of the BTO that is located behind the LLT is called the BTO Optical Bench (BTOOB).
Below is a schematic view of the full BTO on the telescope, and a drawing of the optical elements of BTOOP and BTOOB:
Beside relaying the laser light from the laser to the LLT, other BTO functionalities include slow and fast compensation of telescope flexures and laser beam jitter, laser beam quality monitoring, beam shuttering, and laser polarization control. Beam alignment inside the BTO can be monitored at any time using a total of six video cameras imaging the EFM, TPM, TCM, TRM, FSA and LLT primary mirror assemblies. An example of such an image is shown below:
The laser exits the laser service enclosure as a single beam. It first travel through the "laser output box", where the safety shutter and polarizing optics are located. Next, the beams travel through the BTO "torque tube" heading straight to the Elevation Fold Mirror (EFM) that redirects it to the Truss Pointing Mirror (TPM). TPM sends the beam up along the telescope truss to the Truss Centering Mirror (TCM) where it is redirected to the Truss Fold Mirror (TFM). After reflection on TFM the laser beam pass through three relay lenses used to image the output of the laser system onto the LLT entrance pupil. It then reaches the Top-end Ring Array (TRA), which is a combination of 4 beams splitter and a mirror, that actually divide the single 50W beam, into the 5 x 10W beams. At that points, the 5 beams are vertically aligned, and they are crossing the primary mirror of the telescope behind the spider, in a laser vane duct up to the BTO Optical Bench (BTOOB).
The combination of EFM, TPM, TCM and TRA provides open-loop compensation of the telescope flexures via an elevation-based look-up table (LUT) to maintain alignment of each laser beam relative to the narrow, 12mm-wide laser vane duct. The split of the single 50W beam into the 5 x 10W beams is done by TRA.
Inside the BTOOB, the five beams are received by the Fast Steering Array (FSA) which steers each of them independently to the X-Shaping Array (XSA) where the final five-star X-shaped laser constellation is formed. Finally the beams are reflected off the Centering Mirror (CM), pass through the BTOOB K-Mirror (KM), and are eventually reflected off the Pointing Mirror (PM) into the Laser Launch Telescope (LLT) for projection to the sky. A mirror can be inserted in the laser path between KM and PM so as to divert the laser light onto a power meter, thus enabling laser propagation through the entire BTO (minus PM) without projection to the sky. The entire BTO path is enclosed in tubes for safety reasons mainly, and the path is flushed with clean air to minimize dust deposition on BTO optics and prevent coating damage.
Fast Steering Array (FSA)
X Shaping Array (XSA)
Pointing and Centering Mirrors (PM & CM)
The Pointing Mirror (PM) and Centering Mirror (CM) are used to (respectively) aligned the constellation on the sky, and center the beams on the LLT. While the telescope is tracking, we are using a LUT for PM/CM that keeps both the constellation and the location of the beams on the LLT well centered versus elevation and flexure. A second LUT controls the position of PM/CM vs. the K-Mirror position.
K Mirror (KM)
Laser Launch Telescope (LLT)
The GS Laser Launch Telescope (LLT) is a 450mm diameter aperture projector located in the shadow of the 1.0-meter diameter secondary mirror of the Gemini 8-meter telescope in order to provide on-axis launch of the five LGS constellation for MCAO operations. With an unvignettted field of view of +/-1.2arcmin and a 60:1 magnification ratio, the LLT enlarges the five, 5mm diameter gaussian laser beams overlapping on its entrance pupil, to a 300mm diameter footprint beam (these are diameters at the 1/e2 intensity points) on its 450mm diameter primary mirror.
The LLT design consists of an unobstructed, afocal telescope using a diverging lens assembly followed by a fold mirror to expand the optical beam then direct it down towards an off-axis parabola (OAP) that provides collimated projection onto the sky. The opto-mechanical design includes a passive athermal focus mechanism that enables focusing. The LLT focus can be controlled remotely, which allows it to optimize the Laser spot size on the sky easily.
Below it's an image of the LLT where it has been installed on the telescope.
Laser Constellation
The 5 beams are sent in a constellation with 4 LGS on the corner of a 60 arcsec square, plus one in the center. This constellation rotates on the sky to compensate for field rotation using the BTO K mirror (see K-mirror). The position of each LGS can be adjusted by a few arcseconds in the sky by using a combination of five tip-tilt platforms: the Fast Steering Array (FSA)

We had been together for about six months when I moved to Florida for what was supposed to be six months to train and work with the plan being that I would end up in Toronto. We didn't know where we would end up and we didn't really talk about it. She came to visit in March, two months after I left; we rented a room in a cheap motel on the beach and she hung out by the pool while I was at work. At night we wandered the beach and drank wine and caught up on our sex. One night we went to dinner with my boss and his wife and as we ate he mentioned to her that he hoped I would stay for a few years and wondered why she didn't just move down. (She is a nurse who aspired to work with kids with cancer - at the time there were no fulltime nursing jobs in PEI and certainly none in that field at all). Then he and his wife laughed as our jaws hit the ground. First we had heard of this plan.
A few days later she winged it home and I sat on it for a day or so and then I called her and told her that I thought she should write her boards for the States and that we should move in together as soon as she could come south. I told her that I wasn't one to come to such decisions lightly (I wasn't) and that essentially by asking her to do this I was making a big commitment to her (which she knew).
I told her to think about it - there was no rush. She hung up the phone, walked downstairs and told her folks she was moving to Florida.
She called me and told me she was in.
Six months later she landed just as a hurricane was about to make landfall (it never did). We went to our apartment and made love on our single piece of furnishing - an air mattress. We were on our way.
Good thing she said yes or I'd probably be living in a flophouse downtown with the dog, sitting on a beanbag chair eating hamburger and onions or fried sausages (two of my favourites as a bachelor) drinking lemon gin and wondering where it all went wrong as I stared at my Trainspotting posters. Oh yeah and as frequent readers know I am wont to do, playing with myself until I was raw.
But instead I didn't play it safe - I made a choice and so did she and while the good things in life can be fleeting, so far we have been lucky and have made a good life for ourselves.
Its 4-1 Ducks right now and another season goes down the toilet and there is plenty of blame to go around. There is Lowe who dismantled a club that came within a break or two of winning a Cup and turned it into a laughing stock. He escapes censure (even now Tambellini will likely get blame for this team that Lowe put together) but the last three years have been pisspoor.
The players deserve blame because they are the ones who play the game in the end but this team looked off almost from day one. Too many poor starts. Too many poor games. Points given away all through the season. Only right before the break did they look like they had any heart and of course in the end that is the killer. Since the dynasty days the next best era was the stretch from 1997 to 2004 with the Cup run of 2006 capping those years. Teams of hungry young dudes who skated and hit with abandon. They nearly always came up short but never for lack of trying and when the money was finally spent and Pronger and Peca and Spacek and Samsonov and Roloson and Tarnstrom were added well then it came together and it probably would have been the best Cup of all except for the very first, I would say. That team that grew up together, with all of those kids, including those who weren't around when 2006 rolled around - Janne and Grier and Marchant and Weight and Guerin and Brewer and yes even Salo and Carter and Comrie - they had spirit, they had elan, they left their opponents reeling and they always went out on their shields.
But not this team and in the end MacT will fall on his sword and it is fitting. Once a terrific PK reduced to a joke. A PP that cost them the Cup in 2006 remaining a joke - no movement - pass it to Souray. Playing for the tie in the hopes of getting to the shootout (who the hell does that?!). Harnessing the young offensive talent, no aggression, no passion. Whipping boys. Patterns of bad behaviour unpunished when it suits. Odd decisions all through the season. MacT began to lose me in November and it was a slippery slope from there.
MacT fans have long pointed to the fact that players leave and do no better elsewhere but the fact is recent years have begun to turn that theory on its head. Raffi Torres is a force in Columbus and Jarret Stoll produces in LA while Greene becomes a rock on their blue. Lupul may be a guy I don't want on my team but he has scored a lot of goals on two winning teams, soft opposition or not. Erik Cole leaves and sparks the Canes to surge into the playoffs. Brad Winchester. Jan Hejda. Glencross.
Its the same old story. You can explain one or two and I liked the Lubo trade, don't get me wrong, but when guys leave Edmonton and start scoring goals and kicking ass for teams that are ahead of Edmonton in the standings then I would ask What the Fuck?
Meanwhile the Oilers look like a team with no heart. Thing is we saw some of these guys in 2006 and we know they have guts. We saw many of them in the stretch last spring and saw them play with courage and conviction. And yet when they had a spot sewn up, as recently as a couple of weeks ago, they pissed it away with a disaster of a stretch run.
This summer is going to see some change. It won't reach the executive suite, where it should, but its going to hit behind the bench, where it also should, and its going to happen on the ice, where it should.
Its time someone makes some intelligent choices, makes some choices which take guts, makes some choices that will set things on the right track.
Its not that hard. Even a mook like me can do it.

Whiskers To Tails Pet Sitting
We're a start-up in-home pet sitting service and want potential customers to know that we can help ease their anxiety and stress about leaving their pets behind when they travel through video emails of our pet visits. We work with dogs, cats and other small animals and, being pet lovers ourselves, treat them all as if they were our own.
Our ideal clients are professionals who travel frequently for business or pleasure. They treat their pets like members of the family and spend discretionary income on them. They are comfortable with technology and appreciate a service provider who is easy to work with, offers them exceptional and personalized service.
We are looking for a logo to represent what we do that is extraordinary -- providing cutting-edge video technology that brings client pets to their email boxes when they're away.
We would love to have the whiskers and tails represented in some way but it's not absolutely necessary. If there is a way to incorporate pets with video in the design, that would be great.
No cartoons and prefer you don't use clip art. Stock photos are O.K.
We want to look professional and warm. We like browns, golds, delicate oranges for colors. Not too techy.
We like Verdana, Arial and similar typefaces.
The logo will be used on our web site and in our marketing materials including business cards, T-shirts, brochures, etc.
We are working with a web site designer so jpeg is a good format.
Added thought: Would like to see design similar to Windows Media Player when you open the program to view a video with play, pause, stop buttons, etc.

The UN Solutions Network Begins to Chart New Pathways for Sustainable Development
November 29, 2012, NEW YORK – The Leadership Council of the new Sustainable Development Solutions Network gathered at Columbia University to chart new pathways to global sustainable development. The Solutions Network operates under the auspices of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. More than 70 top scientists, business leaders, politicians and civil society leaders from around the world attended.
At the meeting, Eni, the Italian energy company, announced it would establish a major new Solutions Network initiative on "Energy for All in sub-Saharan Africa." The Novartis Foundation of the Swiss-based global pharmaceutical company announced its support for a Solutions Network Initiative to train and deploy 1 million community health workers across Africa.
In speaking to the group's closing session, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon underscored the critical role that sustainable development plays in the UN's global agenda and commended the participants for their leadership in helping to spur innovations and solutions.
"We are at a critical turning point. Imperfect industrial processes and competing priorities on the international agenda make the world's trajectory unsustainable," said UN Secretary-General Ban. "Innovative science-based solutions will provide the answer to many of the complex and interlinked challenges that the world faces today. The perspectives offered by the academic and scientific community are paramount to the post-2015 development agenda. The SDSN will provide clarity about what solutions science and technology can offer to today's problems on a global scale."
The Solutions Network mobilizes scientific and technical expertise from academia, civil society and the private sector in support of sustainable development problem-solving at local, national and global scales. Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, director of the Earth Institute, Columbia University, and special advisor to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, directs the Solutions Network. Laurence Tubiana, director of IDDRI and professor at SciencePo (France), and Xue Lan, professor and dean of the School of Public Policy and Management at Tsinghua University in China, co-chair the Leadership Council. The Earth Institute hosts the secretariat of the network. The Solutions Network will work closely with United Nations agencies, multilateral financing institutions and other international organizations, and will provide technical support to the High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
"Over the course of the last two days, the Solutions Network addressed the great global challenges — climate change, poverty, hunger, loss of biodiversity — with realism but also great optimism, knowing that new and powerful solutions can be found even for the toughest of problems," said Professor Sachs. "These knowledge leaders will help to promote innovative solutions, spur local problem-solving around the world, and support the UN Secretary-General and the international community as they work to establish the post-2015 global goals and milestones for sustainable development."
Ted Turner, global business leader, philanthropist and founder of CNN and the United Nations Foundation, a founding member of the Leadership Council of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, joined for the two-day event and will be working with other leaders in sustainable development to help guide and advise the network going forward.
The network has established thematic groups to support global problem solving in critical areas such as poverty eradication, gender equality, universal access to healthcare, the transition to low carbon energy, and more resilient cities. Over the coming months, the Solutions Network will hold a series of regional meetings with heads of state, business leaders, scientists, researchers and academic experts in Nairobi, Paris, Berlin, Malaysia and Beijing. The full Leadership Council will gather again in New York next April to finalize its report to the UN Secretary-General on the post-2015 agenda.

The first picture shows an absolutely stunning view. China seems like a very beautiful country.
As we see every day here in the office, when something's good, it's really, really good. And when that something is a chance to tour an incredible part of the world at jaw-dropping prices, it definitely won't last long. Our latest Taste of China trips for $999 were so popular and sold out so quickly, we knew we had to work extra hard to make those prices available again … and soon!
And today, I'm thrilled to report that WE DID IT! It's not often that a once-in-a-lifetime deal actually comes around for a second time. But that's exactly what's happened with our Taste of China tour at only $999, including airfare, great hotels, many meals, all transfers, and some guided touring.
As a refresher, Taste of China takes Friendly Planeteers on a 10-day tour through three of China's most fascinating cities: Beijing, Xi'an, and Shanghai.
Beijing — China's historic and cultural capital — and Shanghai — often called the "Paris of the East" — are probably two of the most dynamic cities in the world. And Xi'an is the site of one of the world's most important archeological treasures: the army of 2,200-year-old terra-cotta soldiers, including more than 8,000 life-size ceramic soldiers, chariots, and horses buried there to protect the tomb of the first Qin emperor.
Travelers on the Taste of China vacation will be exposed to all of the most significant and breathtaking splendors of China, from the Forbidden City to the Great Wall of China to the Temple of Heaven. They'll also get a taste of what life is truly like in China, when we stop by picturesque villages, a traditional school, and bustling street vendors.
If you missed it the first time, don't let this opportunity pass you by again! For more information or to book, contact us or visit the Friendly Planet Travel Web site.

Shots fired in downtown Durham
Investigation ongoing, police say
Police are searching for the people who they said fired gunshots in a shopping plaza in Durham over the weekend.
Durham police said shots were heard as bars and restaurants were closing about 1 a.m. Saturday.
"There were officers downtown on Main Street, which is pretty typical, and they heard what they thought might be firecrackers or gunfire," said Sgt. Frank Daly, of the Durham Police Department.
Responding officers didn't find anything near Main Street on the University of New Hampshire campus right away, but when the sun came up, they discovered shell casings on the ground in the nearby Mill Road Plaza. Officers said one round, believed to be from a .9 mm handgun, hit the back of a building.
Police said a surveillance video caught two men running from the plaza.
Meanwhile, UNH students received an email alert about the gunfire.
"The campus police, they're just really good at keeping us updated. I mean, it is kind of scary," said one student.
"While that was really unfortunate and a little bit unsettling, I still feel safe here," said another student.
Anyone with information on the gunfire is asked to call the Durham Police Department at 603-868-2324.

Opening the Machine Network
So here we are. Last week was Automation Fair. What did you learn?
Oh, you didn't go? Well, that is your loss, truly. A free show in Chicago where you could have learned about all sorts of new products and insights from Rockwell Automation and their network of partners, of which Cisco is a proud Alliance Partner. And you would have gotten free breakfast and lunch too!
Ok, in multiple booths we showed how one machine can integrate into another, and form a production line. Funny how that happens. We at Cisco are a part of ODVA, a trade association of many partners that subscribe to open standard networks.
At Automation Fair last week we demonstrated how we get real time information from a factory. We showed the integration of video from a remote factory into headquarters. With our Cius collaboration device we integrated the factory information to the Enterprise mobile worker. We also demonstrated how remote access can be secured and how that can apply to a machine builder, and you can pick what data and access is given. And Rockwell Automation introduced their new Industrial Intelligence capable switch, the Stratix 5700, built with the best of Cisco and Rockwell Automation – the perfect solution for machine builders.
And then ODVA today released a new white paper offering best practices for optimizing the integration of machines into the factory, as part of our joint presence at SPS/Drives in Nuremburg Germany. Here is the deal:
You cannot find any better performance from any network than open standard Ethernet, as in Ethernet/IP.
Think about throughput. Check.
Think about scalability. Check.
Think about integration to the business systems. Check.
Think about remote access and diagnostics. Check.
And finally,
Think about the ability to have video or voice (or both) on that same connection.
So you can have the local people with you from there, while you are here. At the click of a button.
The power for a Machine Builder is pretty clear. Also for the End User. Costs are minimized, the production operation remains up, reduced travel time but increased access to the machine expert increases productivity.
This new ODVA white paper is a great start for the machine builders and end users to get on the same page in terms of the business value for remote access. Next week I will elaborate more.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Watch: Was Speedo 'Too Gay' for Las Vegas Hotel?
A gay man who found himself ordered to leave a hotel pool in Las Vegas on account of his swimwear claims that homophobia was behind the alleged incident, Yahoo7 News reports.
Chris Donohoe says that a contingent of roughly half a dozen security guards surrounded him as he argued his case with the general manager of the Encore Beach Club at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel. Donohoe alleges that the management's decision to toss himont was motivated by anti-gay bias.
"I was made to leave the pool for wearing a Mr. Turk bathing suit that they said was not 'in integrity' with the brand of the pool party," Donohoe posted at Facebook. "In other words, I was kicked out for being a gay man wearing a bathing suit that was just a little too gay for the The Beach Club Encore Las Vegas to tolerate."
Gay news source SDGLN.com notes that the Las Vegas hotel does have a dress code for guests using the pool, but adds, "nowhere in that set of rules does it say speedos are prohibited." The rules do say, however, that access to the pool is granted at the "management's discretion."
Donohoe posted video of himself at Facebook debating with the hotel management over their decision to kick him out. Watch it below.

Washington D.C., May 16, 2012 / 03:06 pm ().-
Arguing that a promised "accommodation" to the Obama administration's contraception mandate fails to address religious freedom concerns, attorneys for the U.S. bishops suggest a possible lawsuit if the mandate is not rescinded.
"Absent prompt congressional attention to this infringement on fundamental civil liberties, we believe the only remaining recourse, in light of the approaching regulatory deadlines, is in the courts," said lawyers representing the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The mandate and its extremely narrow religious exemption are currently being challenged in at least 11 lawsuits by states, colleges, private employers and organizations across the country.
On May 15, Anthony R. Picarello and Michael F. Moses, who serve as general counsel and associate general counsel, respectively, for the bishops' conference, submitted formal comments on the most recent suggestions regarding the administration's contraception mandate.
The controversial mandate will require employers to offer health insurance plans that cover contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs, even if doing so violates their consciences.
While the mandate includes a religious exemption, few groups would qualify for it because it applies only to nonprofit organizations that exist for the purpose of inculcating religious values and both serve and employ primarily members of their own faiths.
The bishops' attorneys reiterated their previous argument that this exemption is "unprecedented in federal law, improperly narrow, and unlawful."
Widespread criticism of the mandate led the Obama administration to publish a new "advance notice of proposed rulemaking" in March. The notice outlines various suggestions for different ways to implement the mandate as it will apply to religious organizations that oppose the required coverage but do not qualify for the exemption.
The administration has invited public comment on the advance notice until June 19. Afterwards, it will move forward with the process of issuing further regulations on the implementation of the mandate.
In their comment, the bishops' lawyers repeated arguments that in addition to being poor health policy, "the mandate itself is unjust and unlawful," in violation of numerous federal statutes and the First Amendment's protections of religious liberty.
The attorneys observed that the mandate is already finalized and has not been changed by the advance notice, which promises a future "accommodation" but does not affect the rule as it is written.
Furthermore, they said, the promised accommodation will not extend to secular stakeholders that object to the mandate. Rather, the Obama administration has made it clear that the accommodation will apply only to religious organizations.
In addition, the attorneys said, the accommodation does not provide adequate relief, "even for those few stakeholders that qualify for it."
They argued that the suggested options regarding coverage through a third-party administrator are all insufficient because the plan itself continues to fund or serve "as a gateway" to facilitate earmarked funding for objectionable products and procedures.
Either by paying for the coverage through their premiums or allowing access to such coverage through the plan itself, objecting organizations will be facilitating something that they consider gravely immoral, they said.
The bishops' lawyers also pointed out that by having insurers or third-party administrators automatically provide the controversial coverage, women are denied the freedom to decline the coverage or to prevent their minor children from being offered "free" and "private" contraceptives and related "education" without parental consent.
They further noted that the religious rights of third-party administrators and insurance issuers have not been adequately addressed.
The attorneys also voiced concern over the fact that numerous individuals, employers and insurers who object to the mandate are not eligible for the "temporary enforcement safe harbor," which would delay the implementation of the mandate for one year.
These stakeholders will be subject to the mandate for plan or policy years starting as soon as August 1, 2012, the attorneys warned. In the next few months, they will face the choice of violating their deeply-held beliefs or dropping out of the health insurance marketplace, with the possibility of facing crippling penalties that could put them out of business.
Furthermore, the lawyers said, the advance notice of proposed rulemaking raises new questions, as some of its statements are ambiguous or hypothetical and require clarification.
They observed that the administration has not yet determined how to treat religious organizations that object to some but not all of the coverage, such as Christian groups that oppose abortion-causing drugs but allow for contraceptive use.
In such cases, the government should recognize the conscience rights "of all stakeholders," whether they object to part or all of the mandated coverage, they said.
The bishops' attorneys also argued that an organization's past inclusion of contraception and related coverage should not prevent it from qualifying for an accommodation in the future. The Obama administration has already made previous coverage of such products a disqualification for the "temporary enforcement safe harbor" that is being offered to some groups.
However, the lawyers noted, some employers and organizations may have included such coverage "mistakenly or unknowingly," and now wish to correct that error in accordance with their conscience.
The bishops' attorneys emphasized that "the only complete solution to this set of problems is to rescind the mandate."
Short of that, they said, the administration should at least "adopt an exemption that protects the consciences of all stakeholders with a religious or moral objection to the mandate."

your humble servant.
I think "happily for them" is just set of to the side and not connected -- there is a name for that, but I can't think of it right away. The phrase acts a little like an interjection. Otherwise you could introduce understood words like "and this happens happily for them" if you want to make the whole diagram as one connected "web". The adverb clause modifies "happily" and "otherwise" modifies "would be".
Now, since I began to write this reply, I see that it has been diagrammed. I will send this and then look.
Nice diagram.
I disagree with what the "for..." clause modifies, and I think the appositive could have been made single with a compound infinitive. This second thought would make the diagram much less complicated. That compound infinitive shares the direct object.
Also, I think Corum forgot the word "be". (It does that now and then -- brilliant diagram but with a missing word.) (!)
That's pretty! And kind of funny.
Yes, I guess that is what I mean. I guess I would make the dashed line horizontal and closer to the split.
In any case, nice work!
Yes, I guess you are right about the modification of the "for" clause, but when I looked more closely at your diagram, I noticed that you had treated "happily" as if it were a participle. Now THAT I think is wrong.
Thanks again for helping me so much.
By a happy coincidence, I was able to find a somewhat
similar situation in Kitty Burns Florey's delightful Sister
Bernadette's Barking Dog (Melville House Publishing: Hoboken, New Jersey,
I believe that I have given enough credit in order to legally quote part of
one of her sentences:
No pictures that represent us otherwise can be true, though, happily, for human nature, gleamings of that pure spirit in whose likeness man has been fashioned are to be seen ....
Ms. Florey diagrams "though" as connecting:
"No pictures that represent us otherwise can be true"
"gleamings ... are to be seen."
I think that we three agree with her.
Apparently, to make things as simplified as possible, she then
diagrams "happily" as an adverb that modifies "are to be seen."
(With "for human nature" modifying "happily.")
That is her opinion. Perhaps others feel that "happily for human
nature" should be diagrammed as an independent element (disjunct).
I think that some people have pointed out that they disagree with
certain aspects of her diagrams.
It appears that people can have sincere differences of opinion on
how to use the Reed-Kellogg system. It's a wonderful way to
exercise one's brain, isn't it!!!
Yes, it certainly is!
Sometimes how a diagram should look depends upon what the speaker intended.
I think that for her book Florey used Eugene Moutoux's (spelling?) help. He is certainly an authority, and I think Corum once referred to him as his mentor.

Swimming Pool Cleaners - Automatic Vacuums & Sweeps
Find Your Swimming Pool Cleaner Today & Start Saving Time Now
Automatic Pool Cleaners are a lazy-man's dream come true. Automatic swimming pool vacuums and sweepers are perfect for the busy person who doesn't have time for weekly cleaning. Let one of our automatic swimming pool cleaning products take care of the everyday mess. It won't take you long to figure out that these affordably priced cleaning systems are what you've been missing.There are basically three types of cleaning systems: Suction Side, Pressure Side, and Robotic.
Suction Side - These pool cleaners use the pool's own suction, usually from the skimmer, to suck dirt and debris off the bottom of the pool, and it is cleaned by the filter. Think of it as a water powered vacuum cleaner. The only drawback to these is that while using them, you are tying up your skimmer which limits your ability to clean the surface of the water.
Pressure Side - These pool cleaners use one of the water returns or a secondary booster pump's return pressure to push the dirt and debris into a bag on the cleaner. Fine dirt is stirred up and eventually cleaned by the filter. The good thing about these is that they don�t tie up the skimmer, so your surface gets cleaned. The drawback is that they are tying up one of your return lines which can interfere with your circulation. Also, they are not removing the dirt, but they are keeping it stirred up so the filter can get it naturally.
Robotic - These pool cleaners are computer-controlled pool vacuums that can scrub any size pool and operate independently from your pump and filter system. These robotic systems have an internal microchip that controls their movements. These are the most highly recommended pool cleaners.
