Legal market overview
Bolivia's economy grew an estimated 6.5% last year, the strongest growth rate in at least three decades according to the International Monetary Fund, with moderate inflation, drastically reduced government debt and a balanced budget. The country also managed to build up reserves of about $14bn, equal to more than half of its gross domestic product.
However, private investment still needs to be strengthened and many large public investment projects in the natural resources sector are behind schedule. While there has been notable progress in the development of rural areas, where a third of the nation's population lives, precarious infrastructure and services continue to prevent more significant advances and general productivity remains limited.
Full-service firms Moreno Baldivieso Estudio De Abogados, Guevara & Gutiérrez S.C., Servicios Legales and C.R. & F. Rojas – Abogados are the most established firms and maintain their position as market leaders; key mid-sized firms Bufete Aguirre Soc. Civ. Abogados and Indacochea Asociados, Abogados Sociedad Civil also retain their share of international work. Boutique practices are sometimes seen providing top-tier specialised legal services on a par with larger firms, particularly in IP (Estudio Jurídico Orpan), tax (Araujo & Forgues) and labour and employment (Estudio Jurídico Carrasco & Carrasco – Abogados Asociados). Meanwhile, multi-jurisdictional operation Ferrere is increasingly coming to the fore, with a growing presence in Bolivia to match that of its offices in Uruguay and Paraguay.

South Korea: Draft Act on Compensation and Relief of Environmental Pollution DamageThe Korean Government has launched a government project to establish a system to compensate and insure against environmental pollution damage, and is pursuing the introduction of a legal relief system for environmental pollution damage. Such Government initiative is intended to address the current situation where environmental pollution accidents inflict serious damage on society due to the enormous amount of tax money that is required for curing the pollution, while companies that caused the accident sometimes go bankrupt because they cannot bear the financial burden of paying the compensation. Moreover, the victims of environmental pollution accidents are often unable to obtain proper compensation due to the burden of proving that their injury resulted from the pollution or due to the prolonged litigation process which is unavoidable in light of the nature of environmental pollution.

Hiking the Stawamus Chief, Squamish
Park in BC (JF Bergeron photo)
With eight provincial parks in the Squamish area, it's easy to spend weeks here enjoying rock climbing, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
Named after a 19th-century Italian revolutionary, Garibaldi Provincial Park is a huge 21st-century backcountry paradise that sits just 13km/8mi north of Squamish off Highway 99.
Known Canada-wide for its wildlife (squirrels, chipmunks, etc.) and birds (eagles, jays, etc.), Garibaldi has 90km/56mi of established hiking trails, many fringed with beautiful alpine wildflowers. Massive mountains like the Black Tusk, Price Mountain and Mount Garibaldi adorn the landscape.
Read More
The 195,000ha/481,885ac park also offers exceptional cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. Camping is available at Elfin Lakes and Mamquam Lake Campgrounds.
Four freshwater lakes highlight the scenic 396 ha/976ac park at Alice Lake, which is located a mere five-minute drive north of Squamish.
Go swimming, launch a canoe or kayak, or fish for rainbow trout (with a provincial licence) at Alice Lake. Camping (with 108 vehicle-accessible sites, 12 walk-in sites, and two group sites) and picnic tables are also available.
Among the 10 trails at Alice Lake Provincial Park, the DeBeck's Trail is noted for its fine views of the Squamish River and the Tantalus Range. A special interpretive program called "Bear Habitat" can be booked, which enables visitors to better understand the behaviour of the black bear.
Between November and February, come to the Brackendale Dyke on Government Road and gaze across the Squamish River to Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park to see one of the world's highest concentration of wintering bald eagles.
These mighty birds nest in cottonwood trees and fish for spawning salmon in the river. In 1994, close to 3,800 eagles were counted, a world record. Bring a telephoto lense to capture the best bird pics.
The Brackendale Winter Eagle Festival takes place each year in January and attracts thousands. There are interpretive displays, nature tours, eagle art displays, guest speakers, and more. Check out the colourful, multi-purpose Brackendale Art Gallery (41950 Government Rd.) for full details.
To access the eagle viewing area, take the exit at Mamquam Road about 5km/3mi north of downtown Squamish, and head north on Government Road.
The Stawamus Chief is among the world's largest granite monoliths and overshadows downtown Squamish with its 700m/2300ft majesty. It was first scaled by Jim Cooper and Ed Baldwin in 1961, and that feat helped make Squamish into a rock-climbing mecca.
In addition to watching world-class climbers at work, hikers can climb to the Chief's three summits, which offer incredible views of Howe Sound and the Squamish Valley, or observe nesting peregrine falcons between March and July. The hike can be tough, and as such is rated intermediate to advanced.
Marvel at the white thunder cascading at Shannon Falls Provincial Park, the home of British Columbia's third-highest waterfall at 335m/1110ft. Water babies will enjoy kayaking or scuba diving along the shoreline at Porteau Cove Provincial Park, which also has 44 vehicle-accessible campsites.
Hike around the lake or try one of 250 routes on various climbing walls at Murrin Provincial Park. Or check out the fishing and mountaineering options at the recently designated 11,351ha/28,048ac Tantalus Provincial Park. In Squamish, the possibilities with provincial parks are virtually endless.
For more information and directions to these provincial parks, visit BC Parks or check in at the Squamish Adventure Centre/Visitor Centre.

BOB: A Life in Five Acts by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb: Born in the bathroom of a White Castle restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky and abandoned by his birth mother, Bob nonetheless dreams of becoming a great man - maybe even of being on a plaque someday. But first, there is so much that he needs to learn and see. This Rags-to-riches-to-fame-to-fall-to-legacy-to-the-love-of-living-life tale follows Bob on an epic road trip towards that quintessential American ideal: happiness. From the writer of past Vertigo hits, boom and Hunter Gatherers, this is the comical and poignant story of one man's dream. A dream of greatness. The greatness of Bob.
The Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents by Lukas Barfuss: For several years, Dora has been heavily medicated to treat erratic and disruptive behavior. Now the girl has grown into a woman and her mother is eager to discover who her daughter has become. But when Dora's parents release her from her tranquilizers, they're not prepared for her potent sexual awakening. In this dark comedy of manners, Dora's naivety and curiosity expose the hypocrisies and manipulations of those around her. As Dora's explorations become increasingly uncomfortable for her parents, doctor, boss, and lover, she unwittingly reveals many of the ethical complexities that define modern sexuality.
The School for Lies by David Ives: It's 1666 and the brightest, wittiest salon in Paris is that of Celimene, a beautiful young widow so known for her satiric tongue she's being sued for it. Surrounded by shallow suitors, Celimene has managed to evade love since her beloved husband dies - until today, when Frank appears. Known for his own sparkling wit and acidic misanthropy, Frank turns Celimine's world upside-down, taking on her suitors, matching her barb for barb, and teaching her how to live again. This wild farce of furious tempo and stunning verbal display, all in very contemporary couplets, runs variations on Molier's The Misanthrope, which inspired it.

Occupy Chicago Gives Thanks: People's Parade & State Street Occupation
CHICAGO 11/23 – This Thanksgiving, Occupy Chicago asks supporters: What are you thankful for? The Occupation is offering an alternative to the corporate-sponsored event taking place on State Street, in the form of a People's Parade, where participants will carry signs expressing their thankfulness that a better world is possible.
"We are thankful to be participating in a movement that is changing the world," say Jill Myers who will be marching in the Occupy Chicago People's Parade. "More Chicagoans are identifying as part of the 99% every day. People of every age and background, from every neighborhood in the city and suburbs, are coming together to rescue our democracy from the financial institutions, corporations, and crooked politicians who seem intent on destroying it."
The Occupy Chicago People's Parade will gather at 9:30am at Michigan and Congress, site of the Occupy Chicago General Assembly. After the parade, the group will return to Grant Park, where stories will be shared about the plight of the original occupants of this land, the Native Americans, and other displaced peoples around the world.
See: http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/245138785546919/
"Instead of watching a corporate parade, or fighting the crowds in the mall, we're inviting people to participate in a community-based event, to share ideas about the positive impact we can have on this city," says Mike Flint.
A call has also gone out on Facebook to Occupy the McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade on State Street. Organizers say they want to take advantage of media coverage of the parade to advance the public's understanding of the Occupy movement.

We waited until the last minute to get wristbands for our party celebrating the 90th anniversary of our theatre, the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. The local stores only had plastic wristband, but we needed paper ones so we could write on them. We ordered from Century Novelty just days before the event. The order arrived right on time and we had our wristbands in hand on Thursday for our Saturday party. They were exactly what we saw on the website and our guests were banded for the festivities surrounding our historic 1922 movie theatre, which was in fact, the home of the first Hollywood movie premiere!

Just like when they were teammates at Simeon, Darius Scott wore No. 1 for the Eastern Michigan University football team and Demarius Reed wore No. 2.
"Every time I close my eyes, all I can see is No. 1 and No. 2 lining up on the field," said Dennis Butler, Simeon's assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. "That will never change."
But the Simeon football program was in mourning Friday after Reed was found shot to death. Reed's body was found at an off-campus apartment several blocks north of the Eastern Michigan campus. Reed, 20, suffered multiple gunshot wounds, Ypsilanti, Mich., police said in a statement.
Some of Reed's belongings were missing. Robbery is suspected as a possible motive, police said.
Friday night's football game against Foreman was the last thing on the mind of Simeon coach Dante Culbreath, who received a call from Scott at 9 a.m. informing him of Reed's death. Culbreath was visibly shaken while being interviewed.
A 5-foot-10, 160-pound wide receiver, Reed was rated as Illinois' 43rd-best prospect while at Simeon. He earned first-team All-State and All-City honors. Reed also had started all six games for Eastern Michigan this year, catching 15 passes for 185 yards and a touchdown.
"He was such a great kid," Culbreath said of Reed. "He did everything the right way, on and off the field. He knew what he wanted and he set out to get it done.
"I have been sitting at this desk in a locked room all day. I know I have to pull myself together for the sake of the team. These kids looked up to him so much. He would come back and work out with them; was a real mentor and a big brother."
Demani Reed, Demarius' younger brother, is one of those team members — a freshman who plays on the Simeon varsity football team.
"My brother was my hero. He was always there for me," Demani Reed said. "I knew if I followed his path, I was going to be OK."
Demarius' father, Carl Reed, worries about his children growing up in the city.
"Demarius was my firstborn of my six children," he said. "I was so certain he was safe and in a good place, in college, playing ball on a campus environment outside of Chicago. I never, ever expected something like this to happen."
Culbreath acknowledged that facing these tragedies has become far too commonplace. He also pointed to Reed's character.
"He was one of the leaders of my first class when I took over as head coach, so there's a special bond," Culbreath said. "You tell a kid to hit the books, stay out of trouble, go to school ... and this happens.
"He did what he was supposed to do and his life is still cut way too short. I feel like he was my responsibility and I failed him."
Like many young football players, Reed's dreams were to one day play in the NFL, his grandfather told The Associated Press.
"I told him 'Man, you have to stay in that gym,'" Joe L. Reed said in a telephone interview from Chicago. "He would say 'I'm good enough.' He loved the game."
The elder Reed said he found irony in the tragedy of his grandson's slaying: Demarius was able to survive the dangerous streets and gangs of Chicago only to become a victim in the perceived safety of a university community.
"He was an outgoing, beautiful kid. He wasn't associated with no gang or anything," he said. "I would say, 'Hey man. Don't go outside.' I wouldn't let him associate with anybody over there."
Over there, he said, is the area near Simeon on Chicago's South Side.
Joe L. Reed said he even had reservations about his grandson moving into an off-campus apartment.
"He was on scholarship," he said. "He could have stayed on-campus."
Reed was rated as the 43rd Best Prospect in the State of Illinois. He earned first-team All-State and All-City honors.

36th Meeting of the Ramsar
|CONVENTION ON WETLANDS (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)
36th Meeting of the Standing Committee
Gland, Switzerland, 25-29 February 2008
|Agenda item 5
Report of the Chair of the Scientific and Technical Review Panel
|Action requested: The Standing Committee is invited to note the progress of the work of the Panel during 2007 and to respond as appropriate to issues raised by the STRP Chair.
1. This report covers the second year of the work of the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP) under its 2006-2008 Work Plan.
2. The Panel continues to work intersessionally largely electronically through the STRP Support Service (SuSe) Web site. During this period, however, the Panel and its Working Groups have also held several face-to-face meetings and workshops to progress their priority tasks. These have included:
i) The mid-term working meeting of all STRP Working Groups, 26-30 March 2007 in Gland, Switzerland;
ii) A joint STRP and CBD and Ramsar Secretariats' expert meeting in Gland in March 2007 on "Wetlands, water, biodiversity and climate change" (for further information see DOC. SC36-12);
iii) A meeting of European STRP-NFPs held in Austria from 17-19 September 2007; and
iv) An intersessional scientific and technical meeting on "Healthy Wetlands, Healthy People" in Changwon, Republic of Korea, in November 2007, to address the review and development of the Panel's Wetlands and Human Health technical report and guidance on Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).
3. The last three of these meetings were made possible through the generosity respectively of Canada (through the CBD Secretariat), Austria, and the Republic of Korea, which the Panel gratefully acknowledges.
4. In addition, various smaller technical working meetings were held during 2007 by task groups in relation to individual tasks in the STRP work programme.
5. The 14th plenary meeting of the STRP will be held in Gland from 28 January to 1 February 2008.
Work Plan progress and further implementation
6. A summary of the progress to December 2007 and anticipated outputs for each of the STRP's Immediate, High and Lower Priority tasks in the current work plan is provided in the Annex to this paper. A list of anticipated STRP scientific and technical products for COP10 consideration and other products from its work plan is provided in DOC. SC36-08.
7. Funding and resources have been sufficient to enable all of the Immediate Priority tasks in the Work Plan to be initiated in this triennium, along with several of the High Priority tasks, as indicated in the Annex. The STRP is particularly grateful to the government of Sweden for its financial support to this work. In addition, aspects of this progress, including on some Lower Priority tasks, have been made possible through a significant amount of task-related work being undertaken by Panel members, IOPs and observers on a pro bono basis.
8. Further work to complete a number of current STRP tasks will continue after STRP14, both to finalise those to be submitted to SC37 and COP10, and throughout the year on a number of Ramsar Technical Reports.
Evaluation of the utility of the Convention's scientific and technical guidance (Resolutions & Handbooks)
9. One particularly significant aspect of the STRP's current work is proving to be the evaluation of the use, utility and availability of Ramsar's scientific and technical guidance (STRP task 3). This work speaks to aspects of Resolution VIII.45 as well as contributing intelligence to several other of STRP's current tasks, notably task 52 on data and information needs review. A detailed draft report from the STRP's expert consultant, based on a questionnaire survey of Convention national focal points, IOPs, wetland managers and others, is now in hand and will be considered in-depth during STRP14.
10. The draft report identifies a number of important issues for the Convention concerning who knows about and uses the guidance and which guidance they find most (and least) useful. The report's findings will help shape STRP's recommendations to Standing Committee and COP concerning the type and style of any further guidances it may be asked to prepare.
11. The report also reveals that not all those in the Ramsar family who should be aware of, and be using, the suite of Wise Use guidance appear to be so, and also that the guidance is apparently not generally being widely circulated by focal points to other user groups such as wetland managers who should be utilizing it. In addition it is of concern that the response rate to this survey from Administrative Authority contact points and CEPA and STRP National Focal Points, requested as a high priority by Parties at COP9, was poor - only 10% of STRP NFPs responded. Furthermore, the questionnaire failed to reach 9% of Convention's contacts and focal points because of non-functional email addresses.
Regional networking - engaging involvement of STRP National Focal Points
12. The STRP is continuing to place high priority on this aspect of its work through the efforts of its Working Group 9 on regional networking. In this respect, the meeting of European STRP NFPs hosted by Austria was most valuable, and consideration is being given to holding similar such meetings, resources permitting, in other regions. The recommendations of the European meeting will be considered by Working Group 9 during STRP14. Although an increasing number of STRP NFPs are in contact with the appointed regional network members of the Panel and are engaging in aspects of the Panel's work, it nevertheless remains a concern that regional network members are continuing to find it hard to even establish communication with a significant number of such NFPs.
Issues concerning the operations of the Panel under its revised COP9 modus operandi
13. The Panel, observers, and IOPs continue to work closely together, with valuable contributions from all involved, and the STRP Oversight Committee continues to be a most helpful aspect of the Panel's modus operandi. The revised modus operandi adopted by COP9 continues to serve us very well, providing clarity regarding priority tasks as well as the flexibility to address new issues as they emerge, depending on available resources. Some possible minor adjustments to the current modus operandi will be discussed at STRP14 for recommendation to Standing Committee and COP10. These are not anticipated to be substantive changes, but rather will be aimed at further optimizing the efficiency and administration of STRP processes.
Emerging scientific and technical issues
14. One of the key roles of the Panel under its current modus operandi is to keep under review and identify emerging issues that it considers should be addressed by the Convention. Discussion at STRP13 on such matters focused on the recognition that there have been significant new developments since Ramsar COP8 regarding wetlands and climate change and the adoption of Resolution VIII.3, and the Panel has recommended that the issue be brought back onto the Convention's agenda in the near future. This and other emerging issues were further considered during the mid-term workshops. More detailed advice will be provided on these issues following further discussions and updates at STRP14, but some brief comments are provided below.
15. Progress on some specific on-going and emerging issues in 2007 includes:
15.1 Earth Observation and wetlands. The Panel has continued to take a keen interest in the actual and potential role of Earth Observation (EO, remote sensing) to support various aspects of Convention implementation, from supporting managers at the site scale to providing global scale wetland status and trend information. The conclusions of the "GlobWetland Symposium" jointly held in late 2006 by the European Space Agency (ESA) and Ramsar were finalized. A symposium proceedings volume has been produced by ESA, and selected papers from the Symposium are being published in the scientific journal Journal of Environmental Management. This includes an overview paper drawing on the results and recommendations of the Symposium, jointly authored by STRP members and observers Heather MacKay, Max Finlayson, Dave Pritchard, Lisa Rebelo (ESA), and Ramsar's Deputy Secretary General.
The conclusions support the increasing recognition of the interconnectedness of multi-scalar wetland inventory, EO and climate change in the light of the findings of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA). In addition, calls for collaboration with other conventions and MEAs are increasing the need for global and regional scale wetland-related information. This has led to increased emphasis within the STRP on global and regional-scale inventory and monitoring efforts, which will be discussed in a special session during STRP14 concerning "global wetland observing systems", which will involve experts from a number of space agencies and existing observing system initiatives.
15.2 Climate change and wetlands. An additional thematic work area has been established by the Panel on "Wetlands and Climate Change" led by the STRP Chair, in recognition of the major developments which have taken place in this field since COP8 and the adoption of Resolution VIII.3. Some initial work is being undertaken for discussion at STRP14, and the Panel will be developing the scope, terms of reference, and priority tasks for this work area, in preparation for proposing a more comprehensive suite of activities in the coming triennium. Further information on this topic is provided in DOC. SC36-12.
15.3 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). The intersessional technical meeting in Changwon, Republic of Korea, in November 2007 brought together key experts on HPAI, wetlands and waterbirds, and this has allowed the Panel to make substantial progress on, amongst other issues, developing further technical guidance related to highly pathogenic avian influenza in relation to its task 62 on "Responding to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza". Further information on this work, and what the Panel anticipates bring forward to SC37 for COP10 consideration, is provided in DOC. SC36-09.15.4 Wetlands and mining/extractive industries. This topic was raised as an emerging issue at STRP's mid-term workshops, in the light of an increasing number of requests for advice on such matters being received from Parties by the Secretariat. A briefing paper was prepared for the STRP on wetlands and mining/extractive industries - this was presented at the Africa regional meeting, in order to support discussion of this topic by African Parties, and will be further considered at STRP14. Further information on this issue is provided in DOC. SC36-13.
16. In conclusion, the Panel will continue to keep such issues under review, and will seek to respond, as appropriate, to other emerging issues.

It seems that an increasing number of products sold today are available in a "value pack," and they're no longer reserved for the warehouse club. Even tool manufacturers have jumped on the value-pack bandwagon, and Senco's FP18 combo kit is a good example. For less than $200, you get everything you need to start nailing trim, including a brad nailer, a tiny compressor, a coiled air hose, and even the air fittings and an assortment of nails. The compressor is so small that I can carry the whole kit in one hand, making it almost as portable as a cordless trim nailer.
The FP18 value pack includes a reliable 18-gauge brad nailer with adjustable depth of drive and a tiny 20-pound compressor to run it. It even includes the air fittings, a coil hose, and an assortment of nails — everything you need to start running trim in one box. You can get the whole thing for about $200.
The 18-gauge Finish Pro18 included with the kit shoots nails from 5/8 inch to 2 inches long. The gun is new to Senco's line, but it seems well constructed and includes all of the features we've come to expect on a pro-duty nailer. Well-balanced and light (2.9 pounds), it has no trouble setting nails in hardwoods. And amazingly, it only misfired once during three months of testing.
The FP18 includes an adjustable depth of drive controlled by a thumbwheel on the trigger, but it's one of the features that need a little work. It works well in most cases, but sometimes I couldn't set nails deep enough when using trim with an elaborate profile. The problem was most noticeable when the nosepiece was placed in the recessed areas of a molding. Fortunately this was only a minor inconvenience, and was easily resolved by paying attention to how and where I positioned the nosepiece. Loading and switching nails is easy, and the 110-nail magazine includes an indicator to tell you when you're getting low on fasteners. However, it doesn't have a lockout to prevent dry-firing.
The FP18 includes a plastic belt hook on the left side of the gun; you can switch to the other side if you're left-handed. Unfortunately, with an air hose attached, it doesn't hold the gun as securely as I'd like.
The heart of the kit is the PC1010, a tiny 1-gallon compressor. It delivers .6 SCFM at 100 psi, plenty of air to run the brad nailer, but using it with your 15- or 16-gauge finish nailer might leave you waiting for the pump to build pressure. Despite its small size, it uses standard components, including the gauges, the regulator, and the pressure switch, so finding replacement parts shouldn't be difficult.
The tiny 1-hp 1-gallon compressor is definitely the most unique aspect of the kit. It weighs a mere 20 pounds, which makes it the lightest compressor I've ever used. Despite its small size, it works fine for a brad nailer, holding enough air to shoot about 12 nails before recharging. The downside to this portability is a small pump, which translates into longer charging times. When filling up from empty, it took just over two minutes to reach its maximum 150 psi, and 35 seconds to fill from 90 psi. The compressor is very quiet, however; you can keep it in the room where you're working without it being too obnoxious. Other carpenters often asked me how big a nailer this compressor could power. The answer is it depends on what you're doing. When hooked it up to my 16-gauge finish gun, it fires about six nails before it starts recharging, so it's not going to keep up with a fast-moving carpenter installing trim. But I'm sure you could connect the same 16-gauge finish nailer and use it for punch lists or installing a prehung door or two.
For punch lists, installing base shoe, and other similar small jobs, I really appreciate not having to drag my 80-pound compressor through someone's house. At $199, I also think this kit is a good value. After using it for several months, I decided to buy it.

Hilti recently released a new compact laser measuring device, the PD30. I've had the opportunity to try one for several months, and I think it's a great addition to the company's line of laser measuring tools. The PD30's most noteworthy feature is that it's about half the size of other Hilti models. It measures 4 3/4 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide, and 1 1/8 inches thick; it weighs about half a pound.
The user interface is new and easier compared with the other Hilti laser measuring devices. The big button in the middle turns on the device and starts measuring with a second push. All you do is push the button, hold the unit against one wall, and aim the laser at another wall (or other target). With another push of the button, you have the room's length or width. If you want to use it like a measuring tape, just hold the main button in for a few seconds and the tool goes into tracking mode. In tracking mode, you can aim the laser at a target and watch the measurement change as you move the tool closer or farther away from the target.
By using the + or buttons you can add or subtract from any measurements stored in memory. After measuring a room width, for example, you can subtract the distance to a door to determine the door's location along the wall. The screen always shows the last three measurements together with the current measurement, which is helpful if you're recording dimensions on a sketch pad.
Hilti's PD30 is about half the size of most laser measuring devices, making it easy to keep it in your pocket or toolbelt. The easy-to-use device has common geometric functions built in and includes a display that shows the last three measurements.
Like other laser measuring devices, the tool has built-in functions for common types of measurements. If you want to record a room's cubic volume for hvac calculations, simply push the "cube" icon button, and measure the length, width, and height. When you've finished measuring, the tool will automatically display the total volume. You can also take measurements in yards, which is handy for estimating concrete. The "rectangle" button works similarly. Press the button, then measure length and width; the unit will show square footage.
Besides measuring in feet and yards to the nearest 1/8 or 1/16 of an inch, the unit can also take measurements in meters, millimeters, and decimal inches, feet, and yards. There's also a "fold-out spike" for getting into a tight spot or for hooking over the end of a wall. When the spike is out, the tool automatically compensates for the added length. Plus, the device has a built-in spirit level to make measurements more accurate.
The one thing the PD30 lacks is the Pythagorean function, which allows you to determine a measurement by doing indirect two- or three-point measurements. For example, other laser measuring tools allow you to determine distances when an obstacle prevents direct line-of-sight measurements. After prompting you to take the measurements, such tools will perform the calculations for you. If you need to make these kinds of measurements regularly, you'll probably want a tool with this function built in.
The PD30's maximum range depends on the target material. Against drywall, it's 210 feet; against less reflective materials like concrete or brick, it's 150 feet. According to the manufacturer, the PD30 can take up to 10,000 measurements on a pair of AA batteries.
Even without the Pythagorean function, I like the PD30. It's small enough to fit into a shirt pocket and it's easy enough for anyone to start using right out of the box. It sells for about $350.

Mixing mud with a heavy-duty electric drill works fine, but it's not exactly the right tool for the job. If you're looking for a better machine, you might try the CX-20 Hand Mixer. The tool has ergonomic grips that maintain an upright body position and a powerful drive unit that the manufacturer claims is more durable than any drill's. Besides mixing joint compound, the maker claims it will also mix mortar, grout, and concrete. I tried one at last year's Builder's Show and found it efficient and easier to control than a drill. It has a list price of $340. Indco, 800/942-4383, www.indco.com.
Inside curves like barrel-vaulted ceilings present a problem for conventional pole sanders: The rigid sanding head and rectangular shape can leave stripes that are hard to disguise. Now there's an alternative: the Radius 360. Designed by a professional finisher, it has a round sanding head with a replaceable foam backing pad, which means the sanding head can better match irregular and curved surfaces. But perhaps the greatest benefit, according to the manufacturer, is that it won't flip or roll over when you change sanding direction — even when it's attached to a 20-foot pole. The sander uses 8 3/4-inch hook-and-loop sanding discs and sells for $35. Full Circle International, 888/284-7716, www.fullcircleinternational.com.
Barrel vaults, curved walls, and domed ceilings all require curved framing members. While you can cut the curves out of plywood or OSB, the process is slow and presents a problem when fireproof materials are required. An alternative is subbing the work to a metal-fabricating shop, but you might need some extra time in the construction schedule. If you find yourself doing a lot of this work, you might consider the Track Bender. The portable tool takes to the curves by crimping standard C-shaped 20- or 25-gauge track and studs right on the job. Using 3 5/8-inch 25-gauge track, it can make inside radii from 22 inches and outside radii to 320 feet. Prices start at about $4,000. Radius Track Corporation, 888/872-3487, www.radiustrack.com.
Cutting narrow strips of drywall using a knife and tape takes time to master, and if you don't get it right, the wavy cut will make hanging and finishing more difficult. If you're looking for another method, you might try the Speed Rocker. The retractable utility knife holds the hook of your tape, so you can pay more attention to keeping your fingers safe and guiding the cut. The multipurpose tool also includes a folding keyhole saw and a rasp on the handle. It sells for $22. CH Hanson, 800/827-3398, www.chhanson.com.
If your company does its own drywall finishing, you might give serious thought to getting one of these good-looking and effective taping tools. The Pneumatic Paper Taper from Apla-Tech uses air power to dispense the compound, so there's less drag compared with cable-driven taping machines. The amount of compound applied to the tape is adjustable, and it works with flat seams, inside corners, and off-angle seams. It's available with 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-foot tubes, allowing users to fit inside closets and reach 10-foot ceilings without a ladder. The manufacturer claims the tool will run off of any 3/4-hp or larger compressor. It sells for about $1,300. Apla-Tech, 800/827-3721, www.apla-tech.com.
Bath and kitchen remodels frequently require tapping into the DWV lines for a new drain or vent. Unfortunately, there's not always a lot of room for a recip saw or hacksaw in many stud and joist cavities. However, Cable Saws like this one from Superior can fit in the tightest spaces possible. It also works great for underground PVC pipe in narrow trenches. You can usually find one for about $6. Superior Tool, 800/533-3244, www.superiortool.com.
Unless you're a plumber, it's tough to get excited about pipe wrenches, but the Vise-Grip's quick-adjusting Pipe Wrench could be the notable exception. The aluminum-bodied tool fits better in tight spaces and weighs 40% less than comparable iron wrenches. In addition, you can adjust it with one hand instead of two. It works with pipe up to 1 1/2 inches in diameter and sells for $30. Irwin, 800/464-7946, www.irwin.com.
Removing the tailpiece or trap on a pedestal lavatory can be a tough job. Many times, the pedestal base prevents swinging a wrench or getting a sufficient grip with a pair of channel locks. Here's a specialty tool that makes it easier. The Pedestal Sink Wrench from Superior has a stubby handle with an offset that makes it easier to remove 6-, 8-, and 12-sided nuts on trap assemblies. It's offered in both 1 1/4- and 1 1/2-inch sizes and sells for about $9. Superior Tool, 800/533-3244, www.superiortool.com.
If you're looking for a new or better way to cut copper tubing or EMT, you might want to take one of the new Lenox Tubing Cutters for a spin. The new cutters improve upon just about every aspect of this handy tool, starting with the comfortable rounded housing that doesn't pinch your fingers. The mechanism that adjusts the cutting wheel is fast and smooth acting; even the slide-out reaming tool works better than most. But the best feature is the spare cutting wheel mounted on the handle — brilliant. Lenox, 800/628-3030, www.lenoxsaw.com.
Don't be surprised if your plumber shows up with one of these amazing tools sometime soon. The 320-E is Ridgid's new 14.4-volt cordless crimping tool, designed for its ProPress copper-crimping system. The tool squeezes gasketed copper fittings around conventional K-, L-, and M-copper tubing. The crimps take seconds, and the system eliminates the risk of fire associated with sweat connections. The system includes more than 240 different fittings from 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter. According to the manufacturer, plumbers using the system are reducing their labor costs by 50%. The downside: The fittings cost three times that of conventional sweat fittings, so don't expect any big changes in your estimates. I found it on the web for about $2,100, which includes three sets of jaws for 1/2-, 3/4-, and 1-inch tubing. Ridgid, 800/769-7743, www.ridgid.com.

- One of best meals in NOTLOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/20/2014The menu was interesting and eclectic. The caesar salad was the most unique variation of a caesar I've ever had. The pasta with scallops and shrimp was excellent as well.Special Features:
- Beautiful day to sit outsideOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/20/2014Food and service were wonderful. Beautifully presented. Will definitely go back!Special Features:
- Excellent experienceGoodfoodDined on 9/18/2014My friends and I throughly enjoyed our lunch at Zee's. We were welcomed when we entered and our waitress, Ashley, was friendly and attentive. I had dined at Zee's two years ago and wasn't very pleased as the menu was totally different from that shown on their website. This visit the menu was as expected, all five of us really enjoyed our meals. I would return to Zee's and would recommend it to anyone heading to Niagara on the Lake.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/17/2014Zee's serves consistently interesting and delicious food, with special attention to presentation. Appetizers and desserts are especially wonderful! We visit NOL once-a-year and make sure that Zee's is one of our dining choices.Special Features:
- greatOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/15/2014we eat at Zee's Grill when we are in Niagara. love the porch soups are best great menu one of our favoritesSpecial Features:
- Great ExperiencewineanddineDined on 9/12/2014This place came highly recommended by a local resident and we were not disappointed. Our meals were delicious and well presented. Portions were perfect; service was excellent....very attentive and knowledgeable. I would suggest asking for a table on the porch if weather permits. This was our first time at Zees but we will be back!Special Features:
- Great for Shaw Festival PlayFoodFanDined on 9/12/2014Attractive restaurant with good food and cheerful service next door to the Festival Theatre in Niagara-on-the-LakeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good choiceOCBobDined on 9/11/2014Kitchen was behind, so service was slow. Recommend a 6:00 seating if you are going to Festival or a bit earlier if attending other venues.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing experience at ZeesOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/11/2014I had a 6pm reservation at Zees, which should have been plenty of time for a nice meal before the 8pm show at the Festival Theater next door...but my entree of seared tuna arrived at 7:15pm! According to the menu, the tuna was supposed to be rare but mine came out medium-well to well-done, making it chewy, fishy tasting, and almost inedible (although the accompanying soba noodles and daikon salad were good). I should have sent the tuna back but, considering as how I had to leave for a show soon, I didn't. The server did not offer any explanation or seem to think one was even needed. I expected much more of this restaurant but was disappointed. The ambience was excellent, but the service and tuna entree were fair at best.
- Shaw EatsNGTorontoDined on 9/10/2014Zees was the perfect spot for our lunch before a matinee at The Festivsl theatre, being just across the street. It would have been just as perfect for dinner before an evening performance. We enjoyed the outdoor patio on a lovely day. Service was fast and friendly and our food was delicious. Lots of choice on the menu.Special Features:
- Our Dinner at Zees GrillOldBobbyBoyDined on 9/9/2014My wife and I had dinner at Zees Grill before walking across the street to the Shaw Theatre. We both had the salmon, and our dinners were terrific. We also shared a wonderful cheescake desert and we each had a latte after dinner. It was a dinner we will both long remember. Some might consider the menu to be a little limited, but we thought there were some very good choices and we're both glad we picked the salmon and the service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a findABCcDined on 9/8/2014Absolutely a wonderful experience from fan table setting - under over yet out of doors. Food outstanding and service excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find in Niagara-on-the-LakekaintayoDined on 9/7/2014Came here with my family for Sunday lunch and I was glad I made reservations as we got seated fairly quickly. We decided to dine outside on the patio as it was a beautiful day. The food was fantastic and the portions were just perfect for lunch! Staff was friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Pre-Shaw LunchArtfansfromStKitsDined on 9/5/2014We love to come early, get a good parking place, and have a nice lunch at Zees before a play at the Shaw Festival Theater. The people who wait on the tables are fantastic and the food is a nice light fare.Special Features:
- zee's is the place to goBookLover1Dined on 9/4/2014Guests can sit on the open porch in summer or the covered porch in fall. The food is delicious, with good variety, fish and vegetarian choices, and lovely appetizers. The bar is ample, with both wine and specialty cocktails available. Service is pleasant and efficient. It is a perfect choice when attending the Festival Theatre across the street. We enjoyed a cheese plate, tuna, and a soba noodle dish. All were excellent.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/4/2014the Asian vegetarian dish was surprising and delicious. shredded daikon and the tangy sauce put the whole mix of veggies over the top!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FabulousFoodluvR2Dined on 8/30/2014With one of the best patios around, Zee's Grill never disappoints. Wonderful food and service. We go every year we find ourselves in Niagara OTL. Loved the cheese platter appetizer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/30/2014Food always good. Porch wonderful for outdoor dining. Reasonable prices which is rare in Niagara on the lake.Special Features:
- YassieDined on 8/29/2014Delicious, especially the cheese tray with all the lovely jams and honey was to die for. The burgers were superb, with the best melted cheese ever and the raw tuna was my favourite !!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- peggybDined on 8/29/2014A fine, dependable, convenient choice for theater-goers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Location and competence all aroundLyublanaDined on 8/29/2014So conveniently located for the Shaw Festival and Studio theaters. Very pleasant porch dining nicely set back from the sidewalk as well as traditional patio dining area. Competent wait staff and kitchen clearly a level above almost everything else on Queen and King Street. Good value. Good menu selection. Vegetarian options, too.Special Features:
- very welcominglovenewplacesDined on 8/29/2014My mother and I went to Zees to dine after a show at the Shaw.My mother uses a walker and was treated with the utmost respect and hospitality. We sat at a table for two facing Queen Street and enjoyed the view of people walking by and the beautiful floral arrangements.We asked if we could share an appetizer and an entrée and were presented with them already beautifully divided into two servings. We received lots of attention from the waitress and the other staff to make sure our dining experience was a pleasant one.We never felt rushed. I would recommend Zees to anyone wanting a special dinner for a special occasion.The menu was varied, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The "amuse bouche" was a nice touch as well.Special Features:
- Excellent RestaurantdrunzoDined on 8/27/2014We enjoyed this restaurant very much-excellent food and service and right next door to the Shaw Festival Theater.Special Features:
- kidd 14OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/26/2014the service was excellent..... the desert was the best we ever had...... the main course was good for both of us.... but not exceptionalSpecial Features:
- unreasonably slowtheatregoerDined on 8/21/2014For a restaurant located in a theatre town and right across the street from a theatre, it is completely unacceptable for them not to be able to produce a 2 course meal in less than 90 minutes. Which it what it took. There were a lot of unhappy customers. And yes, they knew that we were going to the theatre. I think the problem was the kitchen. And the new (since last year) menu is much poorer than the previous one. In short, a once fine restaurant has fallen on hard times. I used to recommend it. No more.Special Features:
- Great location and good food!theatre22Dined on 8/21/2014I was in a wheelchair and made the reservation because of its proximity to the Festival Theatre. The hostess and servers were so kind. They helped me and my friend to a lovely table on the spacious veranda. The wine was very good, the food outstanding and the coconut lime rice pudding dessert, delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014We chose this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The salad was fresh but the salad dressing was too bitter to enjoy. The chicken entree was dry and lacked flavour. The chocolate mousse was excellent but did not make up for the disappointng meal.
- Good food, but not so creative.Wanderluster999Dined on 8/19/2014The food was good, but I feel it could be more creative. We dine out a lot in Toronto and I found the menu limited. We went for dinner and I didn't find anything special about the food. Since it is a wine region, perhaps more dishes cooked with regional wine would be good. Also more focus on regional produce. Organic choices. Better appetizers. Platters to share with a nice glass of wine.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/18/2014Outstanding service (the beverage manager waitresses on Mondays) and outstanding food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Theatre RestaurantTravelQueenDined on 8/17/2014Very good food and service in an excellent location for all theaters in Niagara-on -the-Lake, CanadaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatGSCVDined on 8/14/2014Zee's has great ambiance, great service, and most importantly great food. I can honestly say I have never eaten anything like what I ate, and that is a great thing. We will be going back if ever we are there again.Special Features:
- abouttownDined on 8/14/2014The lunch salads are wonderful ,should be available for dinner order to delivery time is slow,getting to Shaw production should quicken service mixed drinks are different from what I am familiar with I brought friends this time and will do so in futureSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, average serviceDCpatronVIPDined on 8/13/2014We went to Zee's on a Wednesday night. The food was good: Caesar salad, watermelon/strawberry salad, Zee burger and seafood pasta. Our waiter, however, acted like he would have preferred being somewhere else. He was really not very personable or friendly. He detracted from an otherwise pleasant evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Zee 's restaurant dinnerNeilVIPDined on 8/13/2014We four enjoyed good service at this super well located. ( Festival Theatr) restaurant for dinner. Nice variety of dinner choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunchExplorer2Dined on 8/12/2014Four of us ate here for lunch prior to a play. All meals were excellent. I had the salmon which was one of the best I have had in a while.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific Service!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/10/2014We could only get a reservation at 6:30 as it was a busy evening. The show started at 8:00. We were made to feel very welcome by the hostess who seated us at a lovely table on the veranda. Our server,Sean, was great - very attentive and made sure we left on time to get to the theatre. The food was delicious, too! Would definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A MUST when in NOTLabmenuVIPDined on 8/9/2014My wife, daughter and I had a great meal Saturday night. The only thing better than the food was the service. From the warm welcome from the manager/hostess to our server's continuous attention, we enjoyed everh minute.Special Features:
- VERY TASTY!WinedoctorVIPDined on 8/9/2014We had a nice dinner at Zees. Zees is right across the street from the Shaw Festival Theatre, which is extremely convenient. We sat outside on the patio, which was pleasant. We kind of custom ordered a pasta dish for 2, they made one of the dishes correctly but didn't make the second one the same, so the dish had to be returned and remade just like the first. It sounded like it was the servers mistake, not the kitchen but I am not sure. The server knew the order was wrong but brought it to us anyway, we thought it would have been better to remake it correctly and bring us an appetizer to snack on, or at least come let us know and ask us what we want to do, instead of just knowingly bringing us the wrong thing. But no big deal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/9/2014Great food, especially the pizza on naan bread. Lovely to be out on the patio on a beautiful day.Special Features:
- Nice findJK43Dined on 8/8/2014Seems to be one of the only restaurants in NOTL that has vegetarian/vegan options other than pizza. Great ambiance. Dined inside, as it was later in the evening and the patio tables are lit by only a small candle and it was quiet dark and hard to see. Two vegetarian selections available-a soba noodle dish and a dish that is called "crunchy beans" but actually is sprouted peas/pea shoots, with no "beans" in the dish. We had one of each and both were quiet good. Good salads, typical desserts. Kevin, our server, was very good and accommodating to our vegetarian needs. Would return if I return to NOTL.Special Features:

I love following your Pinterest boards, by the way, how do you keep your social media content hip, current and relevant?
Thank you! I am a bit obsessed with Pinterest. On the platform, my bio reads that I am (of course) a hairstylist, but also a fashion entrepreneur. I feel it's so important to stay up to date with fashion trends that are happening all over the globe – and social media is the perfect way to do so. I enjoy browsing other boards and love finding DIY blogs that associate with someone's personal style. It gives you a well-rounded look at what's hot.
Do you think social media should be a skill taught during beauty school?
Definitely. I think social media should be taught in beauty school, if not before! In today's connected world, we all turn to Facebook or Instagram to see what brands or other artists are up to. We should be teaching the basics of how to get started building your professional brand on social media. I believe it's something that students should be aware of both during school and after beauty school. It's a great way to showcase what they have done (by building a portfolio) and document how far they have come with their skillsets. It's also a great tool when looking for employment.
Do you believe social media will play a big role in your continued success?
I believe so! Social media is the quickest way to showcase your work and eventsto mass quantities of people. It is all about growing in this industry. Growing your professional brand – and your skillset.
And, finally – what is your advice to other up-and-coming stylists?
Take criticism with an open mind, then learn from it….don't fight it. Participate in every competition you can, find a mentor that will push you and at the same time teach you the ropes. Don't be afraid to ask for help because after all, we don't know everything…just yet!
Another great interview with a young, up-and-coming stylist! Shout out to Kathryn for her amazing talents and how she's been able to grow her professional brand in very short timeframe!

Between downtown Victoria and the sea, at the end of the highway that runs from the very East of Canada to the very West, lies Beacon Hill Park. A public park since 1882, it was one of Emily Carr's favourite painting locations. A fitting spot then, for a bunch of ex-studio buddies to play in the dirt and make some art.
We had come to investigate soil. Because it is the foundation of terrestrial life. Because without it we would have no plants, no food, no park. And because place is central, one way or another, in all our work and place begins with the soil under our feet.
We started by each choosing a spot that appealed to us, and taking ten minutes to use our senses to fully experience the place. We smelled the pine resin, felt the rocks and grass, watched pine needles falling in the sunlight, and pressed our hands against the cool, damp soil. We wrote down words and phrases that came to mind. We made impressions of soil and plants and wood on paper. We stopped our lives for that short period of time and sat with being where we were.
Then we re-grouped and shared what we had found. Each one of us had discovered something special and unique – and each of us had enough observations and thoughts to keep us going for some time.
With our discoveries in mind we settled down to a bit of drawing and painting. making "starters" – work that you can put aside to finish later, or use to inspire another piece. A starter is a great little thing to do, because there is not pressure to make something perfect, so it's easier to be spontaneous. And of course, we each came up with something different.
Thanks to Jessica Jean, Mary, and Brenda. You gals rock!

Jesus Christ, Apple...
"Also, Apple definitely is adding a ton, but 75% of this should have been added a LOONNNNG time ago..."
Marketing 201: Release a base product, wait a couple of years to see what people want, then release it all when the closest thing to a competitor shows up.

i dribbled slightly too...............until they said june, and then i sobbed like a young boy :-(
Apple REALLY wants tethering. Even though all networks havent agreed to it, they are building it into 3.0...
So I realize the big updates aren't coming out until June, but is there any update at all being released today?
NOPE! and if it is anything like last time, some things will not make it to the officially released 3.0 update.
well I am glad I bought the iphone 3g when best buy had that deal going I was a little worried there would be a new iphone after I bought it. So i Guess poeple have to find new things to complain about now LoL. Still no video lol

Alex Hofmann: Brno Round UpAugust 15, 2011

Czech MotoGP: The PUMA PerspectiveAugust 12, 2011
MotoGP's two-week summer break may have been all to brief, but it certainly served its purpose. The air in the Brno paddock as the teams decamped ahead of this weekend's Czech Republic Grand Prix was relaxed, with the lush green forests surrounding Brno's Masaryk circuit adding further calm to proceedings.

The scenic circuit nestles in the Senese Clavey Hills about 30 kilometres from the historic Tuscan city.

Alex Hofmann: Assen Round UpJune 27, 2011
Very wet weather was predicted for the Dutch TT in Assen, and the forecasters were absolutely right: it tipped down all weekend, from Thursday to Saturday. Yes, that's right: race day was Saturday, as has become traditional for this round, a bit like F1 sticks to Thursday practice sessions for the Monaco Grand Prix in Monaco when all others run Friday-Sunday schedules.
Dutch MotoGP: The PUMA PerspectiveJune 22, 2011
PUMA's partner team Ducati travels to Assen in The Netherlands for this weekend's seventh round (of 18 in the 2011 MotoGP Championship) with renewed confidence, having developed a whole raft of upgrades for the Ducati Desmosedici.

9 Year Old Suspended From School After Shaving Head in Support of Friend With Cancer
As I'm reading news stories online I found one, in particular, that really just floored me. A student at a Colorado elementary school shaved her head to show support for a friend going through cancer. When showing up to school with her freshly shaved head, she was told she would not be allowed back without a wig or until her hair grew back. What?

Winter 2014, Volume 22, Number 1
Article URL:
The U.S Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and the Treasury jointly issued the final rule on parity under the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) in November.
Originally passed in 2008, MHPAEA requires many insurance plans that cover mental health or substance use disorders to offer coverage for those services that is no more restrictive than the coverage for medical/surgical conditions.
The requirement applies to:
MHPAEA does not require insurance plans to offer coverage for mental illnesses or substance use disorders in general, or for any specific mental illness or substance use disorder. It also does not require plans to offer coverage for specific treatments or services for mental illness and substance use disorders. However, coverage that insurance plans do offer for mental and substance use disorders must be provided at parity with coverage for medical/surgical health conditions.
The final rule includes specific additional consumer protections such as:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) significantly extends the reach of MHPAEA's requirements. Starting in 2014, the ACA will require all small group and individual market plans created before March 23, 2010 to comply with federal parity requirements. Qualified Health Plans offered through the Health Insurance Marketplaces in every state must include coverage for mental health and substance use disorders as one of the ten categories of essential health benefits, and that coverage must comply with the federal parity requirements set forth in MHPAEA.
