What We Can Learn from Mormons
With the failing economy, many have had to turn to the government to keep their family afloat. But this is not the case for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Their church's sophisticated private welfare system is providing a means of support and self-sufficiency to their members in these times of need. The amazing part? It's run almost entirely with donations and volunteers.
The nationwide system, called the Bishop's Storehouse, provides basic food and essential household items to struggling members. Almost the entire stock is produced through Church agricultural properties, canneries, and light manufacturing operations. All of the work is performed by Church volunteers and recipients, making the system virtually independent of the commercial economy. They have also established Deseret Industries which is a nonprofit, vocational rehabilitation facility and a thrift store. Both resources are sustained by the contribution of time, talents and resources of its members.
The first versions of the storehouse started in the 1840's, when LDS members journeyed to the Salt Lake Valley to escape persecution. They created storehouses of grains and other goods to easy the travel of the later groups. During the Great Depression, former-president of the Church, Heber J. Grant said that he received revelation from God about the welfare system created by the New Deal.
"Our primary purpose was to set up, insofar as it might be possible, a system under which the curse of idleness would be done away with, the evils of a dole abolished, and independence, industry, thrift and self-respect be once more established among our people," said Grant.
Aside from the 10% tithing that the thirteen and a half million members donate toward the building and maintaining of temples and meeting houses and the sustaining of missionary work, they also fast for two meals every month. They then donate the money that they would have spent on food, known as a Fast Offering, to church leadership who then distributes the funds based on the needs of the members. Usually the bishop doesn't give money directly to the person being assisted, but pays directly for what the member needs (groceries, medical bills, etc).
The Latter-Day Saints have also been advocates of maintaining a year of food storage, something that has been encouraged at meetings and conferences for years. They are provided with the resources and counsel to help them build this back-up plan in case of disaster or emergency. Now, the food storages that have been in preparation for so long are becoming the cornerstone of survival to those whose income has been diminished by increased nationwide layoffs.
Read more tips on what to store and how to afford a food storage for your family.
Additionally, last year the Church challenged its followers to establish a 72-hour kit for each member of every family to use in the event that a family must evacuate their home quickly. Lists of recommendations for these kits are provided here.
So what can we learn from Mormons? We can take some of their preparations tips to help feed and sustain our families during these hard times. Maybe with just a little extra determination, we can ease our future hardships as well.

My sister-in-law and her friend have an entire blog dedicated to food storage, emergency preparedness, etc. It's really quite good. Safelygatheredin.blogspot.com
There is also lots of information on food storage and other successful living tips at www.providentliving.org
it's good can do something for other people in the community….. always join the community instead of isolating oneself is so good……
While the Bishop's Storehouse was initially established to help LDS members, no one of any faith is ever turned away. The Church has many storehouses & thrift stores nationwide to help those who are struggling. For more information, you can view http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/news-releases-stories/bishops-storehouse-helps-individuals-achieve-self-sufficiency
This seems like a great program to be a part of. The ability of a church to support its own members is a great asset to a country that is experiencing wide spread economic difficulties which often result in people having a difficult time supporting themselves. http://www.thereadyproject.com
These writings to me are really hard to decipher. This is really fun can certainly say because one has pinpoint what is being explained. I really have to appear into this.

I wonder if those who think feminism us unnecessary because patriarchy is not a thing could explain adequately why, if not for patriarchy, we have yet to have a female president in the United States. Hmmm.

In Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Alice realizes she's lost in an unfamiliar forest. She comes to a crossroads and has no idea which way to turn.
Then, Alice sees the Cheshire cat in a tree and asks him which path she should take. He replies, "Where are you going?"
"I'm not quite sure," she says.
"Well, then, it doesn't matter which road you take," the cat notes.
Like Alice's journey, the transition from high school to college brings a lot of decisions, challenges and opportunities. The Cheshire cat's question doesn't just apply to our choice of schools. "Where am I going?" also makes us think beyond college. It makes us think not only of what we want to be, but also who we want to be.
You grow and learn during your college years in ways that are more dramatic and significant than in any other period of your life. It all starts with your freshman year. Here are five tips for making the most of it.
Have you heard the story of the three bricklayers who were all asked what they were doing? The first man answered gruffly, "I'm laying bricks." The second man replied, "I'm building this wall." But the third man could see more than the bricks or the wall. He declared, "I'm building a cathedral."
Like the third bricklayer, knowing what you are building will determine your blueprints. When you develop a clear vision of who you want to be, you can better focus on how to get there. It also gives you increased energy and fulfillment since you know what your work and choices will lead to. You have something specific to work toward. You are doing more than "taking a class" or "getting through the semester." You are, brick by brick, building your future.
Decide where you're headed. Do you have a clear picture in your mind of what you will need to do to get there?
As you choose your goals for the future, be sure that you go beyond just having goals, such as:
"I want to have a degree."
"I want to have a job and a car."
Those goals are fine, but there is more to life than just having certain things. Real goals include action:
"I want to exercise regularly."
"I want to travel."
"I want to attend a weekly Bible study."
"I want to serve."
Real goals are also about developing your character. Who you are (much more than what you have or do) will determine the quality of satisfaction of your life. Effective goals ask, "Who do I want to be?"
This question takes a lot of thought, but it also requires prayer. Proverbs tells us if we lean on God for direction—and not our own understanding—he will make our paths straight (3:5-6). Through prayer, we can spend time with God figuring out who he wants us to be.
Planning doesn't put you in a straitjacket. It's OK to change your plan as time passes. Setting goals doesn't lock you in for life. In fact, just the opposite happens—you begin to experience a new freedom that comes from a clear picture of why you are attending college and what you want to accomplish.
You can always adjust the plan and choose new ways to reach your goal. As you grow, God may show you a new path. By preparing now, you can be ready for what God has in store for you.
As you make a plan to become the person both you and God want you to be, your ability to make wise choices improves and decision-making even becomes easier. You can make decisions about how to spend your time, what classes to take, and what activities to join by asking questions about your long-term vision. How does this ready me for the future? How would doing this strengthen or hurt the person I want to become?
You won't be able to control everything that happens during this first year at school, but you can choose how you will respond. A big part of that response will depend on your beliefs and values. As you leave high school and head to college, take time to reflect on who you are, what you believe, what you want from life, and what you value. These things will determine your answers to the numerous choices you'll be presented with.
Pray that God will lead you through your choices and use the transition from high school to college to help refine who you are, what you believe, and what you value. Talk with close Christian friends, your parents, or a pastor about choices as they come. When you pray, ask God for a good attitude and for a support system of friends who have the same values.
Colleges have everything students need to reach their goals. When the alarm clock goes off on the first day and you head to class, you will find scores of professors who have earned academic degrees from colleges and universities around the world. These men and women teach all kinds of amazing courses in subjects ranging from marine biology to 18th-century literature.
In addition, the heart of every campus is a library or a learning resource center stacked with thousands of books, periodicals, electronic search services and hundreds of computers. You will never be in an environment with so much knowledge and learning right at your fingers. Take advantage of these things from day one. Explore diverse and interesting subjects. Learn to use all of your library's offerings. Meet with your professors. Ask questions.
Focusing right away in college on what you want for yourself is important, but more important is discovering the path that God has in store for you. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11).
God wants you to succeed and wants you to be happy. His intentions for you are good. Sometimes we might think that God just puts a lot of rules on things we want to do or spoils all of our fun. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Jesus said, "I have come that [you] may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). Abundant living—that's what God wants for you.
Luke 5 gives us some words to think about as we move from high school to college. As Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret one day, he saw two boats left by the fishermen who were washing their nets. He got into one owned by Simon and asked him to stop the boat a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch." Peter obeyed and was amazed by an incredible miracle: a net overflowing with fish.
There is a message in there for a new college student: Don't hesitate to launch out, as Jesus says, into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.
Why deep waters? Shallow water presents no challenge and therefore yields no reward. God wants us to dig deep into him and also to discover who we are. Deep water brings an abundant catch and produces men and women of depth and character—men and women fit for life. So dive in.

Q100's Bert Show, which began syndication in Nashville last year, has added a third city this week: Indianapolis at a Cumulus-run top 40 station called i94.
The station is not being run with a lot of local talent. In fact, its mid-day host is Brittany, same as Q100. Its night-time syndicated host? Billy Bush. Again, same as Q100. The only local presence? Marc "Marco" Orem, former host of the Morning Mess, which lasted only a year at Star 94 in 2008.
Yes, Marco's Morning Mess team splintered after Star 94 let them go. Marco returned to Indianapolis as a solo morning host at the new i94. Late last year, his morning show was moved to afternoons and i94 ran without jocks in the mornings until this week. So ironically, Marco lost to the Bert Show in Atlanta, then got effectively bumped off mornings in Indianapolis — by the Bert Show. He can't escape them! But at least he's now working on the same station with them.
Shannon Murphy, another part of that Mess team and arguably the most talented of the trio, is blossoming in Detroit as part of the "Mojo in the Morning" show on Channel 955. Superphat Mikey? Last word was he is out of radio working with his dad.
Indianapolis has also given us syndicated team Bob & Tom, ever so briefly, a few years back. It was on 105.3/Real Radio, an FM talk station in 2004, for six months, then for a few more months on 96 Rock, after the Regular Guys were first fired. That show did not click at all here. Also, the current program director at Dave FM Scott Jameson is from Indianapolis.

You mean there is actually a worse radio market in this country than Atlanta? Unbelievable! Apologies in advance go out to the good people of Indianapolis for the crap that will soon fill your radio dial in the mornings.

Beating Marco in the ratings isn't exactly a feather in your radio cap! Fortunately Shannon escaped that Mess that cost so many Star 94 executives their jobs (despite their "resignations!")

@Elliot Garcia…Bob & Tom are awesome? Bob & Tom suck!. Two old 60ish year old guys who are not funny, they don't take phone calls, and they have unfunny comedians on the show. I am not saying that Bert has a better show, but to say that B&T are awesome is giving them way too much credit. They need to retire.

Yeromm is a variant of everybody's favorite card game "Pairs". Sixteen cards are arranged on a board with 4x4 fields and divided into 8 pairs of 2; each pair always have the same face. You have to find pairs of cards with the same face.
In contrast to the traditional game, you do not choose TWO cards, but only one. The second one is chosen by the system. For this purpose each position on the board has a corresponding one. If you choose one card, the one at the corresponding position is chosen and vice versa. These corresponding positions do not change during a game.
"So how can I pick a pair?" You can move cards to other positions by shifting a row. It's quite simple: Just move the cards with the same face to corresponding positions.
Since the game can be frustrating (especially for beginners), you can play an easier version with the cards face up and/or showing the corresponding positions. The bottom left-hand button shows/hides the corresponding positions, the bottom right-hand button turns the cards face up/down.
You earn a basic number of points for finding a pair - which can differ depending on the level of difficulty you have chosen - multiplied by a bonus factor for consecutive successful picks without moving any cards in-between:
Face down and hide corresponding positions
- +5(1st pick),
- +10(2nd pick),
- +20(3rd pick),
- +40(4th pick),
- ...
Face up or show corresponding positions
- +4(1st pick),
- +8(2nd pick),
- +16(3rd pick),
- +24(4th pick),
- ...
Face up and show corresponding positions
- +3(1st pick),
- +6(2nd pick),
- +9(3rd pick),
- +12(4th pick),
- ...
You lose points for moves, (too many) unsuccessful picks and for playing an easier version of the game:
- Move row/column: -1
- Show corresponding positions: -1
- Turn all cards face up: -1
- 8 consecutive unsuccessful picks: -1
Have fun!

It was a great day for a season-ending series of games at the Water Tower Recreation Center, which hosted the finals for the Chestnut Hill Youth Sports Club.
The day was made even more fun by the Philly Phanatic who entertained players and their families. We captured a little bit of the morning action on video. the first set of teams playing in the video are the Skychiefs in blue and the Bisons in yellow. The second, older group of kids playing are the Dodgers in Orange against the Phillies in Red.

Voetstoots and the Consumer Prtotection Act0
Does the Consumer Protection Act, 2008 ("CPA"), which became effective on 1 April 2011, mean the end of the "voetstoots" or "as is" clause?
What does voetstoots mean
When you buy something, there is an implied warrantee that the thing sold is free from any defects. It is, however, possible that one can contract out of this implied warranty by inserting a term into the contract that says that the sale is voetstoots (that you buy the goods "as is" [warts and all] and cannot rely on the implied right to defect-free goods and complain later if you find certain defects in the goods).
When the seller can't rely on the voetstoots clause
The common law does, however, allow you to cry foul and sue the seller (even if the contract contained a voetstoots clause) for cancellation of the contract or a reduction in the selling price where the goods were defective at the time of the sale, that the seller knew of the defect but failed to disclose it to the buyer, knowing full well that if the buyer knew about it he would either not have continued the purchase or would have negotiated a more favourable purchase price.
The effect of the CPA on the voetstoots clause
In terms of the CPA the consumer is entitled to receive goods that are reasonably suitable for the purpose for which they are generally intended, are of good quality, in good working order and free of any defects.
The definition of "goods" has been amplified to include a legal interest in land or other immovable property.
The CPA provides for a statutory duty of disclosure in consumer transactions. The Act expands on the common law obligation to disclose latent defects by requiring suppliers to disclose material facts and to correct misapprehensions on the part of the consumer, if failure to do so would amount to a deception.
However, sellers can exclude themselves from this obligation by advising the consumer that the goods are being offered in a certain condition. The consumer must then agree to accept the goods in that particular condition. E.g. a motor dealer should explain that the beat-up Volksie is not new, point out the obvious and not-so-obvious defects and if the consumer accepts this, then the sale would be as-is.
The only way sellers can get past the implied warranty is to describe the condition of the goods in specific detail to make it clear in which condition the goods are being sold. The buyer then has to has to "expressly agree" to accept the goods. Only if the buyer "knowingly acted in a manner consistent with accepting goods in (a less than ideal) condition" would the implied warranty of quality fall away. Every defect must be described in the contract of sale that the buyer signs.
A defect is a material imperfection that renders goods less acceptable or less practicable. This includes obvious problems, or latent defects, and those hidden future problems, or patent defects, which sellers are able to escape under the voetstoots clause provided they were not aware of such defects at the time of sale.
If any defects come to light after sale or goods do not comply with standards set out in the CPA, the buyer is entitled to return them within six months of a sale and the Act holds businesses liable to either repair or replace the goods, or to refund the purchaser. After a defective product is repaired, the repair job itself will have a further three-month warranty. In addition to these rights provided to consumers under the CPA, the CPA also provides further should any damages arise as a result of defective goods, they would be able to claim damages from the seller.
Time and case law will determine if the CPA has sounded the death knell of voetstoots clauses, but whatever its fate, the consumer is infinitely better off under the CPA.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In this movie I want to give you a sense for how you can combine black and white along with a channel mixer in order to take advantage of the best of both features. So here we're looking at that infrared effect that we created a few movies back using the channel mixer. And as you may recall we had posterization problems, and I didn't even address all of them. If you look closely in the upper left hand corner of the image You'll see that there's more posterization in the background, and we have some weird highlight details along the top of the younger woman's hair.
So, I'm going to go ahead and zoom out, and I'm also going to throw away this layer of gaussian blur, because we're not going to need it. We're going to mask those posterized areas away. So I'll right-click on the word Smart Filters, and choose Clear Smart Filters. And then, given that we no longer need the smart object, I'll right click inside the image window with the rectangular tool, and I'll choose rasterize small object. And the reason that's a good idea is because smart objects add to file size, so if you don't need them, don't use them.
Now I'm going to turn off that channel mixer layer and click on it, so that'll create the black and white layer on top. And you can either choose black and white from the black white icon at the bottom of the layers panel or if you have the custom shortcut, press Ctrl+Shift+B or Cmd+Shift+B on the Mac and I'm going to call this guy alt b and w mix and click OK. We could start with the preset infared which does get us someplace actually, however, it doesn't give us the cool effect we were seeing a moment ago and We've got the Posterization again, and very plainly so in the background woman's face.
So I'm going to customize things using the Target Adjustment tool, and I'll start by dragging underneath the younger woman's eye. And that ends up, in my case, highlighing yellows, and I'm going to take that yellows value down to 130. Then I'll click above the eye which should highlight the reds and indeed it does. And I'm going to brighten those reds to a tune of 60 and the only reason I'm working with round values here is so you can easily follow along if you want to. Then I'll drag inside the woman's jacket.
And that in my case, highlights the blues, and I'll take that blues value up to 50 as you can see here, and then from here on I'll just adjust the slider triangles. Now notice, if I crank up the magenta's value, I'm brightening up this background woma's hair, as well as portions of her jacket. We don't want to go as high as 300, that looks pretty ridiculous, so I'm going to take this value down to 70. The greens don't really resonate too much. You can see a little bit of action in the down left corner here, but not too much is going on.
So I'm just going to match that same yellows value which is 130. And then finally, we've got cyans. And I"ll show you where the cyans are located in this image. It's the earring, so if I crank up the scion value we're seeing the ring around that earring, and if I crank it down and it's turning darker. For now I'm going to take it to lets say about a hundred. So these are the settings I'm going with. Red 60, yellow is 30, green is 130, cyan is 100, blue is 50, and finally magenta is 70.
Alright I'll go ahead and hide the properties panel And zoom out from my image once again. And, let's take a look at how we might merge these two layers together. Now if I turn on this channel mixer layer, it's going to make a big huge difference, whereas turning off the black and white layer does nothing. And that's because black and white doesn't have anything to work from after this point, it's just taking a black and white image and making it black and white. But what we can do now is we can mass through the channel mixer layer. So I'm going to click on that layer to make it active.
And then I'm going to drop down to the add layer mask icon and click on it. So we have a layer mass that we can paint inside of. Alright, let's start with the upper left corner of the image. I'll select the brush tool, and I'm going to right-click inside my image here to show you that I have the hardness now set to 0%, and I might take the size value up to 200 pixels to start with. You want to make sure that your foreground color is black, as it is in my case, and then you want to paint away those areas of posterization, including the strange halos that are coming off the girl's hair.
And I'm going to paint inside the background of the woman's face as well because that's pretty heavily posturized. And i might paint down into this region of the image. Scroll down here so I can see more of that out of focus background and paint it away. And I might paint inside of this region a little bit as well. I've got some details up here I need to take care of. So I'll go ahead and paint those regions away. So in other words, we're using the channel mixer layer where we need it, and we're painting it away, where it's essentially causing problems for the image.
I'm also going to paint inside the young woman's face. Her chin, her nose, and up into her forehead, as well. But I want to try and leave the eye alone. In fact, I might have painted over portions of the eye here. I'm going to press the x key and reduce the size of my brush and paint back in on that eye because notice, without the channel mixer layer, if I turn it off, she's got an awfully dark circle around that eye. So I'll go ahead and turn channel mixer back on. It's a little too bright right there at that location, so I'll press the X key to switch back to black, and paint that back in.
And then finally we want the earring to brighten up, so I'll go ahead and paint over it as well. Alright now, at this point I'll just press the M key to switch back to the rectangular marquee. And I want to reduce what's known as the density of this layer mask. That is to say, rather than having the black portion of the layer mask absolutely hide the contents of this layer, I'd like them to mostly hide the layer. And you get to the density value by double-clicking on the layer mass thumbnail here inside the layers panel.
That brings up the properties panel, and notice if I reduce the density value to zero, that changes the entire layer mass back to white, and we are once again seeing the effects of the channel mixer layer across the entire image. And if we change the density value back to 100%, then all of our black brush strokes are returned to black and they're absolutely hiding the effects of this layer. I want to split the difference a little bit so I'm going to click inside that value and press Shift+down arrow three times to reduce the density value to 70%.
Which turns the blacks of the layer mask to dark gray. And it does so temporarily, so you can always come back and change your mind later. Alright, now I'm going to hide the properties panel. And the final thing I want to do is. I want to brighten up that earring a little bit. And I'm going to do that by double-clicking on the thumb nail for the Alt+B and W mix layer. And I'm going to increase that science value dramatically, in fact I'm going to take it up to 260. In order to compensate for what's going on with the channel mixer layer.
Alright, that takes care of it. Now press the F key a couple of times in order to switch to the full screen mode. And zoom out a little bit as well, and just so you can see the difference here. This is the original infrared version of the image, with the dark earring, probably an overly bright face. And all that Posterization in the background. And this is the new smoother version of the image, thanks to a combination of Black-and-White and Channel Mixer working together.

"Welcoming environment with great team working departments "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Cathay General Bancorp full-time for more than a yearPros
Everyone is willing to help out and is very accommodating. Excellent starting benefits and very knowledgeable upper management. Most departments have team members whom you can rely on casually hang out with. Not a very cutthroat environment. Very high Asian to non-Asian ratio, however, management has begun branching out to diversify.Cons
The ability to move up is primarily reliant on seniority. You could be extremely knowledgeable and efficient in your work, but someone who has been with the company longer will be promoted quicker. Starting pay is mediocre at best. Most managers are very stringent on working overtime and will try to sway non-exempt employees from contributing too much (if any) OT.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Pay closer attention and spend more time on annual evaluations and determine promotions, raises, and bonuses based on performance. A standard bonus and a standard raise across the board does not compensate those who work extremely hard vs those who do the bare minimum to get by.Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Meet our Presenters
Robin Esrock
Robin Esrock
"I Hate Robin Esrock!" Much like the envious journalist who opened a magazine profile with the very words above, it's easy to hate Robin Esrock. After all, Robin has journeyed to nearly 100 countries on 6 continents, getting paid to discover exotic destinations, and throw himself into thrilling, unforgettable adventures. Thing is, Robin is "friendly, easygoing, with a backpack full of wisdom and experience." That's why you hate him. He might well be one of the luckiest bastards on earth, but it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Robin literally fell into travel writing by accident. Struck down on his bike at a Vancouver intersection, he hobbled away with a broken kneecap, and a $20,000 insurance settlement. Looking back on several careers spanning marketing and music, he decided to quit his job, sell his stuff, and fulfill a lifelong dream of seeing the world. He called his one-year journey Modern Gonzo, in tribute to Hunter S. Thompson's "anything-goes" journalism, and his own insatiable thirst for over-the-top adventure. Drawing on a career that spanned media, marketing and music, Robin was determined to share his adventures with anyone who wanted to follow.
Five years later and still on the road, Robin has helped pioneer the modern travel blog. His stories have also been published in over a dozen major newspapers worldwide (including the Chicago Tribune, South China Morning Post, Sydney Morning Herald, Toronto Star, and Dubai Gulf News). With trademark hat, wit and enthusiasm, this South African-nadian has also become an accomplished public speaker, the resident travel guru for Sympatico.ca and Breakfast TV, and the daredevil Thrillseeker columnist for Outpost Magazine.
In 2007, Robin conceived the idea for a TV show, giving birth to Word Travels. Together with fellow travel writer Julia Dimon, it is the first series to reveal the warts-n-all secret life of travel writers, filmed on location in 36 countries. Set on fire in Taiwan, radioactive in Chernobyl, heli-yoga in the Rockies, racing supercars in Italy, volcano boarding in Nicaragua, visiting all seven New Wonders of the World, bungee jumping a TV Tower in Macao - it's all in a day's work for Robin. Word Travels, broadcast by CityTV and OLN in Canada, and in over 50 countries worldwide by National Geographic Adventure, has exposed Robin to millions of viewers. And while he always hurls himself into the story, the Modern Gonzo abides by a humble mantra: Inform, Entertain, and Inspire those who dare to dream.
Online, Esrock continues to shine, updating his popular blog (moderngonzo.com) with writing and photography, hilarious Youtube clips (his visit to the World's Most Dangerous Hike in China has nearly 300,000 views), and bringing you along for the ride through Facebook and Twitter. "Mr Been There" uses any media - be it print, broadcast, online or social media - to tell us that the world is a beautiful, wonderful and exciting place to be. As viewers and readers continue to live vicariously through his global antics, we can't hate him for that.

A common synonym for the crime of extortion is "shakedown," and it is a crime under both state and federal law. It is a crime, that is, unless it is the government doing the shaking down. There is perhaps no more graphic illustration of the manner in which the government employs the awesome and far-reaching power of federal law to force corporations into massive monetary settlements, than the explosion in the number of cases brought against pharmaceutical companies in recent years.
Fines paid by pharmaceutical companies to the federal government to settle charges brought against them, has skyrocketed to $4.41 billion (from just $10 million in 1991). Even more revealing is the fact that of the 165 pharmaceutical settlements with the federal government in the past two decades, nearly three-fourths occurred in the past five years. A settlement that might have resulted from an investigation in the 1990s would have averaged $37 million; today the average settlement is $130 million. This is a cash cow that Uncle Sam knows how to milk.
This astronomical – and accelerating — increase in fines has taken place even though there has been no real change in the nature of the alleged infractions committed by the drug companies. Moreover, the basis for securing such huge fines rarely reflect violations of serious federal criminal laws; but rather regulatory discrepancies or failure to meet the intricate and complex "off-label" edicts which the companies are forced to follow. In just the past five years as well, so-called "unlawful promotion" of rules so complex even industry lawyers have a difficult time figuring them out, accounted for more than half of all violations charged to pharmaceutical companies.
The financial risk to the companies is huge, as is the corresponding windfall to the government. Moreover, company "whistleblowers" can become multi-millionaires overnight if their snitching results in a financial payout by the company to the government. And, holding off "blowing the whistle" until substantial sales of a drug has occurred, so as to increase penalties and "rewards," has the perverse effect of prolonging the alleged "bad" behavior. Unfortunately, last year's new omnibus health care law only increases the opportunities and incentives for anti-pharmaceutical whistleblowers.
A primary stick employed by the feds to pressure pharmaceutical companies to settle such cases, is the threat of "debarment." And it is a Big Stick indeed. Placing a pharmaceutical company on the federal "debarment list" amounts to a corporate death sentence, because the company is then ineligible to participate in government medical programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Without access to such programs, many drug companies would be unable to stay afloat; and the government knows this.
Whether one likes it or not, with the growth of federal health programs in recent decades, state and federal governments represent the largest customers for the majority of pharmaceutical manufacturers. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, in 2008 nearly 40% of all spending by Americans on prescription drugs came from public payers, including the big boys on the block – Medicare and Medicaid.
Put another way, and looking at just a single major pharmaceutical company – in 2008, Pfizer brought in $19 billion in revenue from gross U.S. sales, and using Kaiser's 37% figure, the company would be dependent on government contracts for approximately $7 billion. No company, no matter how large or in what industry, could afford to lose $7 billion in sales. The threat of being blacklisted by the government for failure to cave in to settlement pressure is obviously intense.
No one would dispute that pharmaceutical manufacturers must be held to high standards, or that true fraud should be ferreted out and prosecuted aggressively. However, the manner in which the government has chosen to target drug companies and pressure them to cough up huge sums of money in a constant game of regulatory "gotcha," serves neither the companies nor those who rely on their products well.

Lewis Morris, counsel for the FDA cites his agencies 20 yr. debarment of Marc Hermelin, former chairman of the board of KV Pharaceutical in St. Louis. What I read is that the federal agencies are going after individuals rather than companies. Pharmaceutical companies pay hefty fines for off-labeling drugs.This way the compannies stay in business and are able to market their hot selling drugs, rather than prohiting them from selling to public agencies like Medicaid-Medicare.
All of the above being said, where the FDA should concentrate is on the way these companies market their drugs, prime time like they were selling a new flavor of jelly beans. I really dislike the pushy way they market everything as if it were the new cure for the world, it is disgraceful.

But look at the numbers from 1990 to the present Ezekiel. Who has the most by far? I do believe the dems have gotten somewhere in the vicinity of 36% since 1990. What's your point Ezekiel? Einstein you're not.
March 14th, 2011

You keep exposing yourself Ezekiel. You really aren't very bright.
March 14th, 2011

Ezekiel apparently doesn't know that 64% is greater than 36% Bobby. He's dumber than a box of rocks.

Maybe Ezekiel can answer a very simple question in spite of his low level intellect. Ezekiel, have the republicans not historically gotten the lions share of these donations? Yes or no Ezekiel? There is no cute comeback or dodge to this question. You asked for facts and facts came back at you. Now you seem to not want to believe your lying eyes. Or are you just too challenged to be able to understand those facts? Yes or no Ezekiel?

There is a larger political economy — not just who gets campaign contributions. Our whole concept of health and healthcare is from a disease model; where,diagnosis and treatment performed on individuals for individual maladies is the primary focus of attention. There is nothing wrong with diagnosing and treating disease, illness and injury. However, how is it that tis disease model is shifted to a wellness model? Such a shift is difficult — if it is in the public's best interest to have a healthy society to reduce the costs of healthcare by minimizing its need, then what policies should be enacted to assure healthy communities and people?

Sam …Yes or no Ezekiel? There is no cute comeback or dodge to this question.
Sam…abosutley. Ask me if I care a flying fornication. Hell no. The fact of the matter is that the elected leaders lack the stones to take a positions that lead our country in the right direction that is not dictated by special interests, lobbyists or unions. I hate it. They vote their pocket book…dem or repub. Who gives a crap what the party is… that is the underbelly of our system.

Dougie boy…why don't we start with a balanced budget…spending what we bring in not adding $1.3 trillion to the debt annually. Maybe you borrow and spend more than you earn at Burger King and that is a concept that you can't comprehend

Way to go Ezekiel. Can't dazzle em with brilliance so you baffle them with bs. Great strategy.

The government is only shaking down companies that are in direct competition to firms they have already chosen.
Just take a look at the pregnancy drug that shout up from $30 a shot to $1,500 a shot. The government cleared the path for Pfizer and now they are they company that provides the drug.
We are going to get hammered with health care costs, especially drugs in the very near future
March 15th, 2011
12:24 pm
Are knuckleheads really backing Obama Care?
These posts are brilliant, our president passed a law that forces those who don't have health coverage to buy said insurance. And guess who they have to buy it off of? PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
He just passed legislation allowing insurance companies to charge people more and more each year and if they don't buy they get TAXED
And you morons are supporting this – I guess the Tea Party is crazy, All they want is less government in their lives and lower taxes.
You have to be crazy to want that – I hope each one of nut bags gets exactly what you ask for

[edit] Ambient Dialogue
- The majority of those dialogues are common and can also appear in other parts of Black Citadel
- Soldier: On my last skirmish, I picked up an ancient dwarven hammer. It's not battle-worthy, but it sure looks mighty!
- Citizen: Nothing like hunting deer in the morning sun.
- Citizen: Kalla Scorchrazor was a grandcub of Pyre Fierceshot.
- Citizen(2): Yeah, he said we had no gods, and she forced the shamans from power.
- Citizen: I'd give anything to fight like she did.
- Soldier: You can find some good weapon parts at Junker's Scrapyard, if you've got a patience to dig trough the piles.
- Blood Legion Soldier: Hey, we going out drinking later. You in?
- Blood Legion Soldier(2): Every time I drink with you guys, I do something I regret.
- Blood Legion Soldier: That's why we keep inviting you.
- Old Soldier: Never get emotional in a fight. It keeps you smarter than any wild animal you face.
- Citizen: Looks like rain. Smells like it too.
- Citizen: It's okay.
- Citizen: When I'm get some time off, I gonna come back here.
- Adamant Guard: This weapon is getting too worn. I'll need to replace it.
- Soldier: Scald it.
- Soldier: A centurion doesn't know what he's doing.
- Soldier(2): And you do? Don't flatter yourself.
- Soldier(3): He's in charge for a reason. Pipe down and you might learn something from him.
- Citizen: Hoelbrak's a fun place to visit. Last time, I got so drunk, I let a norn shave his name into my fur.
- Soldier: Sylvari are mystery to me. They seem so innocent, but in battle, they handle themselves quite completely.
- Citizen: Don't feed the wild animals. Unless it's a killing end of a weapon.
- Soldier: Keep your claws sharp. They're the weapons you'll always have.
- Old Soldier: That was the campaign where I got my favorite scar. Ah, I was a loose cannon in those days.
- Soldier: Do you think that was overkill? Nah.
- Adamant Guard: It's not worth the stress.
- Soldier: A fine place for a vacation from my idiot underlings.
- Blood Legion Soldier: Have you seen my brother's sword? It's best around.
- Blood Legion Soldier(2): Rytlock's sword is better.
- Blood Legion Soldier: That's nothing. I heard Rytlock's sword was forged by humans.
- Old Soldier: It's been a long time since I had my muzzle down in blood and mud. I miss those days.
- Soldier: What are you doing after your shift?
- Soldier: Watching the fights. You get to see some great some great tactical maneuvers in the arena.
- Adamant Guard: The Black Citadel is both a strategic victory and a technological marvel. The Iron Legion should be proud.
- Cub: I want to see the Claw of the Khan-Ur up close. I heard it's wickedly sharp!
- Cub: Smell that air. Look at the sky. This is the best land in all of Tyria.
- Soldier: Hey, I didn't see you come in.
- Ash Legion Captain: That's the idea.
- Soldier: As if you could understand my duties. Don't strain yourself.
- Soldier: My warband has seen more action than anyone else from my fahrar. Them more we fight, the less we want to come home.
- Citizen: Look at that. You can find beauty here, and dozens of ways to die. I like that challenge.
- Citizen: Magic can be a powerful tool, but no way I'd trust my life to it.
- Blood Legion Soldier: Oh, sick. I hate skale vomit. Stays in your fur forever.
- Citizen: I hate wild animals. Except the ones I can pick up and eat.
- Blood Legion Centurion: The most important lesson I learned is that you never want to be the weakest link.
- Blood Legion Soldier: You see that head shot? Right through the eye!
- Blood Legion Soldier(2): That's nothing. I was gouging eyes back when I was a cub.
- Blood Legion Soldier: That's why no one in your warband could shoot straight.
- Blood Legion Soldier(2): Look me in the eye and say that.
- Blood Legion Soldier: There we were, huddled in the dark, when suddenly we hear drums echoing through the caverns. I can't talk about it yet.
- Old Soldier: There are bold charr, and old charr, but very few bold, old charr.
- Citizen: I say don't waste your time on her. Once a scrapper, always a scrapper.
- Adamant Guard: The Vigil is an honorable organization. I'm seriously considering joining up.
- Citizen: Take my advice. I had more cubs than you. In time, you'll learn.
- Citizen(2): Experience is a great teacher, but in the meantime I'll stick with common sense.
- Citizen: Sylvari don't look like much. Bunch of skinny, mewling kittens.
- Citizen(2): Our cubs have to fight somebody. Let's see if those twigs can fight back.
- Soldier: It's never a good day until I kill someone.
- Citizen: The asura who operates that gate has nerves of steel. He stands out there every day, even knowing what's under his feet.
- Soldier: I met one of Ash Legion tribunes. She looked like she could gut me just by looking at me.
- Citizen: The Blood Legion is always quick to join in when Ash and Iron go at it.
- Soldier: Stay way from the wild animals and they'll stay away from you.
- Iron Legion Soldier: After practice, let's go straight to the mess tent.
- Iron Legion Soldier(2): I'm always starving after a good workout.
- Iron Legion Soldier: Training and eating - two of life's sweetest activities.
- Soldier: Hunt them down and slit their throats.
- Citizen: Where's my knapsack? Oh, yeah. That devourer...
- Citizen: I've yet to meet a bottle of whiskey I didn't like. Or drink dry.
- Cub: You mark my words, Rytlock Brimstone will be Imperator of Blood Legion one day.
- Citizen: Keep you eyes open. It might be the difference between predator and pray.
- Ash Legion Soldier: You waiting for the rest of your warband?
- Blood Legion Soldier: We came down early. What about you?
- Ash Legion Soldier: I was hoping to get some sparring in before my warband showed up.
- Blood Legion Soldier(2): I get some of my best practice when I come down early.
- Blood Legion Soldier: It's good to spar with someone outside of your warband.
- Ash Legion Soldier: A stranger will have moves you're not expecting.
- Ash Legion Soldier: You come up for some close-combat practice?
- Blood Legion Soldier(2): Any day. Let's go.
- Blood Legion Soldier: Oo-rah!
- Sparring begins
- Blood Legion Soldier: Keep your elbows down! Don't drop your weapon too low behind your back!
- Iron Legion Soldier: Is she in your warband? She's got skills.
- Blood Legion Soldier: We're proud of her.
- Iron Legion Soldier: I wouldn't mind getting out there. You up for a round or two?
- Blood Legion Soldier: I need to shake some of the dust off myself anyway. I'm ready when you are.
- Citizen: Ash Legion? I can't say I approve of their methods, but they're handy to have around sometimes.
- Citizen: After that last defeat, he lost two ranks. They're moving him out of Praetor's Canton and back to barracks.
- Citizen: Never turn your back on an enemy, a stranger, or an animal.

POS Integration Reduces Reconciliation and Manual Entry
A growing list of POS integrations
Restaurant365 is currently integrated to:
Let us know what POS you are running and we will get it on our growing list!
Consolidate data from multiple POS solutions
If you have more than one concept, you likely have more than one point of sale solution in your organization. Bringing the data from these multiple sources into a single source saves loads of time and makes information actionable.
Shorten period closing times
No need to wait for physical delivery of weekly packets from store locations to find out how each of them is doing. Use the Restaurant365 dashboards to give you a nightly flash across your entire organization.
See the full picture of a store's performance
Add manager and corporate overhead pay accruals to the actual store labor to see a complete picture of labor costs.
Workflow to ensure POS procedures are followed
Counting end of day cash & checks is simplified and immediately reported to corporate. Paid-outs are easily categorized by the store manager to user defined cost categories (i.e. GL).
Keep corporate alerted of POS changes
Store managers often create new codes in the point of sale system. Restaurant365 notifies corporate immediately of these new codes and helps keep everyone on the same page.
