It happens to all of us, we want to buy that dream home but it's a little bit beyond our budget, and we're told it's because of its location. We take a look at the aspects of house buying which affects a properties price based on its location.
Proximity to Transport Links
The distance to all transport links and major transport roots affect the price of a house. This includes everything from major road links such as motorways and highways, to main commuter links. It includes things such as railway stations and even underground stations when in larger cities and not so crucially it may also be affected by popular bus routes.
The same goes for business premises which will also be affected by transport links and added to this will be the availability of parking.
City centre locations will always bump up prices too as they tend to be prime areas for tourists and shoppers so space comes very much as a premium.
Education will always have a large impact on a properties price. Those primary schools, middle and secondary schools and even colleges which perform well are likely to attract more interest and naturally demand goes up. These schools all have specific catchment areas, areas in which you are eligible to apply, so living within a high demand area will increase price.
Where you are lucky enough to have a property with a garden which faces south (in the northern hemisphere) you are likely to pay slightly more for the property. This is because the sun rises and sets at a slight angle and it is thought that gardens which face south get the sun all day, which certainly comes at a premium in British Summertime, where the sun is always at a minimum anyway.
Open Spaces
Excluding inner city spaces, then those properties which are in the middle of the country side or green spaces will again come at a premium. Many cities have what is known as 'green belt' land on its outskirts which means it can't be built on; naturally a property with a view over green belt land, fields or parks will always come at more of a cost.
There are no hard and fast rules about how location will affect the price of a home or business premises but those listed above will certainly have an impact. Depending on your requirements you will want to pick or avoid specific areas which have the above perceived benefits.

Proud mother Charlize Theron choked back tears at a Hollywood event over the weekend as she opened up about her son.
The actress became a first-time mom in March, 2012 when she adopted Jackson. After she was honored for her philanthropic efforts at Variety magazine's annual Power of Women ceremony on Saturday, Theron was asked about life with her boy.
Visibly welling up during the chat with E! News, she fought back tears as she revealed, "(Charity work is) definitely different (now), because you start thinking about the legacy that you want to leave behind for your child. ... I want him to be proud of me in a way that's authentic. He's just growing at a rate that I feel like every morning, I'm going to walk into his room and he's going to be like Hercules, like busting out of his pyjamas. ... He's amazing. He truly is heaven on toast."

How Living IN Your Church Can Transform Your Life…
When I saw the recent article of the National Catholic Register's Jennifer Fulwiler, I couldn't help but chuckle at the headline. Sure, living near your Church is great, but what about living in your Church, or at least in the rectory?
My first job working for the Church, before I was married, was as a youth minister in an average sized American parish. The pastor, recognizing my need to save money for my impending wedding day, kindly offered me a spot in the rectory until I could get settled. For the next 4 1/2 months, I lived in a little room across the building, originally designed for the associate pastor the mission diocese could only rarely assign. I remember from the job bulletin board at Franciscan University of Steubenville that parishes offered this arrangement from time to time. If it's been offered to you, you may be considering it. Here are some ways it influenced the course of my life:
- I gained a greater appreciation for priestly schedules. The moments the pastor had available at random moments throughout the week were pretty hard to pin down. There is always something going on in the life of a priest. If it's not celebrating Mass, it's administering the Anointing of the Sick, teaching a class, meeting in his office, meeting in another priest's office, meeting in the bishop's office, preparing an engaged couple, proofreading a bulletin, planning future parish development, interviewing employees, reviewing employees, organizing diocesan liturgies, counseling parishioners, taking care of the poor, planning parish pilgrimages, arranging parish missions, and a whole host of other things. Priests' vocations earn their vacations. More than that, they need them for the sake of sanity.
- I got used to being in the Church a LOT. Well, I would have gotten used to this, if I hadn't already lived within a few blocks of a Church for the previous 4 years of my life. If you're taking a job at a parish that will put you up in the rectory, take advantage of being that close to the tabernacle. I went to daily Mass a few hundred feet from my bed and I still feel like I missed a lot of opportunity for prayer (especially now that I live a bit further away from a church). That will transform your life more than anything else.
- I learned an important lesson: the Church has no concept of appropriate timing. We'd been without a bishop for a long time, and since it was a mission diocese, we assumed that trend would continue. Surely, there were more important dioceses that needed bishops more urgently. Then came the announcement at Whispers in the Loggia on the morning of April Fools' Day. It was the first thing I saw that morning and it was kind of a big deal, so naturally, I buzzed the pastor's room. Groggy, he answered. "We have a bishop!" "Ha ha. April fools!" "No, Father, really!" "You won't get me that easily." "Seriously, Father, you probably want to go down the chancery. He'll be arriving in town today." Retraction: I must be getting old. My memories are starting to run together. I realized a few hours too late that this event actually took place a few months after I was out of the rectory. The point is still true, though!
- I quickly got used to being available. Since I lived in the rectory, it was pretty easy for people to assume that I was on Church property 24/7. This one must really bother priests, even when they aren't at the rectory (the vast majority of the time – see #1). What lay person would put up with people constantly visiting his home? Hiding out in my private quarters didn't help – the parish receptionist could always tell the visitor she'd just buzz my room. In my case, it was extra easy to assume that I'd be in because I didn't even have a driver's license when I moved in. If you're going to work for the Church, get used to being available. Even if you're not living at the Church, you will be spotted and stopped at the grocery store more times than you can count.
- I got a driver's license. There were times I desperately needed to get out of there! Yes, at the spry, young age of 23, several months into my stay, I got my license to operate a motor vehicle. Freedom was sweet! Of course, most of you probably have a license already (I simply didn't need one until that point), but you the point is that will find yourself in great need of a way to get away. Have a favorite place of retreat for those times you need a little solitude.
- I got married. Living at the Church allowed me save enough money to have the wedding and reception I needed. Because the wedding was just after Christmas, there were only 35 guests. Without those savings, it would have been even smaller. No, it was not the wedding and reception I wanted (not that I was ever flipping through bridal magazines and daydreaming about the day). We were on a budget, after all. Almost an entire paycheck went toward my bride's dress ($650), I had to haggle with the organist ($80), the cantor was a friend who once did a solo piece at St. Peter's Basilica (free), the wedding was at the church of my wife's choice ($200, later refunded out of pity), the hall rental was at the parish where I'd been living (free), the food for all 35 guests was catered by a local Italian joint ($150), the cake was typical ($150), and the music was from my iPod (negligible). The whole thing was less than $1500 and it was all I could afford! Imagine if I hadn't saved the money by living in the rectory!
- I gained weight. I'd say it's a fair assumption that most Catholic parishes in America have housekeepers. Ours was from Guatemala, and she brought all her recipes with her – I was particularly fond of the fajitas and the pasta con camarones. Needless to say, the tux at my wedding was a little tighter than I anticipated when I tried it on months prior. I still haven't gotten the weight off. Working for the Church is almost certain to put some meat on your bones, especially during Christmas Party Season and Bloat Tuesday.
If you're considering a job that allows you to live in the rectory, it can be a great opportunity for personal growth – just make sure it's in your character and not in your waistline.
Priests, do you have any other words of wisdom on rectory life?
6 Comments
I, too, had the wonderful opportunity to live at a church for a while. When I was a freshman in college, my folks moved an hour outside the city where I grew up; but during the summers of college, I continued to work at the summer job I started in high school. Rather than making the hour-each way commute–a lot of gas for a poor college student, and especially hard on those days when I had to be into work at 5:00am!–I made a deal with the parish I grew up in to be able to stay during the week in one of the extra bedrooms in the rectory.
Some notable features of my stays:
1. There's always something you can help with in the evenings if you want to; but there are also great opportunities for solitude and silence (especially when the only available television is decades old and broadcast only–no cable!). Since I was eventually headed to grad school in medieval studies, I frequently made use of the solitude to read and study.
2. It makes going to daily Mass so much easier!
3. You can really get to know the life of the priest.
4. Having the sanctuary and reserved Sacrament available just footsteps from your bedroom is a wonderful way to deal with the occasional insomnia or nightmare.
well, I guess you can say I live in a rectory…but we are a mission parish and my husband's full-time paying position as a hospital chaplain bought the house which we own
I did live in a convent for 2 years with a teaching partner- we taught ESL in E Europe- it was a great experience- although we actually didn't personally 'hang out' with the sisters (they had novices' vocations they wanted to protect)- it was wonderful praying with them and being so close to a chapel.
I'm Lutheran but my husband is a pastor so I feel like I can add something to this.
It cracks me up when people tell me that my husband only works 6 hours a week or only works on Sunday. The norm for clergy (I'm using "clergy" instead of "priests/pastors") is 60-70 hours a week minimum. It also really varies from parish to parish. In our current parish, his long day is actually Tuesday because he has office hours, visits, Confirmation, sometimes youth group, and then a class that night. In other parishes, he was his own secretary and we had to make a rule that nothing church-related left the church office (which was a room in the parsonage with a separate entrance).
Expectations for me as the pastor's wife vary from person to person and parish to parish. Currently, I have a 3 year old with autism and developmental delays so I get away with not being at every. single. event. but in past parishes, I was expected to be there not only on Sunday morning but for any other event that was happening. People seem to think I know everything about what is going on in the parish (I don't) and that I have keys to the church/alarm codes (I don't).
And I totally relate to gaining weight. We get so much candy, quick breads, chocolate etc. at Christmas that it takes us until June to use it all up.
Tho I've never lived in a church I live pretty close to my parish church, and I strongly agree to point #1
I lived in a parish rectory for 5 years after I graduated from Steubenville. How I ended up there is a long story, but I was a telecommuting Catholic journalist and so I rented a room and office there. I also volunteered in youth ministry, religious ed, and the parish council. Everything you write above is true and more. Oh the stories I could tell. Interestingly, it confirmed for me that my vocation was not to the priesthood because I was able to see the life of a priest up close. I just didn't see it for me.
But the priests I lived with over that time are some pretty great and holy men who I continue to count as friends today. I still treasure the memories of sitting on the porch on a summer night, listening to the ball game on the radio, smoking cigars, sipping Scotch, and talking, especially about the great stories Father had from his many years in ministry.
I was so blessed to be able to live at my parish and Newman center in college. There were a few apartments above our church and the time spent living there was too full of growth and graces to even begin to express.
I just wanted to add my favorite part of living there was getting ready for bed and then being able to walk down (bare-feet and in my pjs most of the time; sorry if that offends anyone) and reflect on my day, examine my conscience, pray night prayer and have the last moment of my waking day with Jesus truly present in the Eucharist in the tabernacle.
I appreciated it then but not nearly as much as I do now. I don't have the same opportunity to spend that much time with Jesus in the Eucharist but when I do I relish it even more. Also whenever I do get the chance to stay the night with a chapel (like this past week when I was chaperoning a mission trip and we stayed in a Catholic school with a chapel and a tabernacle) I make sure to see Jesus before I go to bed.
The point of all of this though is that whether you live at a church or not, frequenting the presence of God, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity is transforming to anyone's life. I encourage all to make a holy hour once a week or more if possible or just drop by and see Jesus for a few min. He's always there for you!

Police Commissioner Fred Bealefeld had nearly 600 cops' city cops, State Police, MTA cops, MVA cops, you name it, probably a crossing guard or two' stationed around the waterfront on Monday night for the city's Fourth of July fireworks celebration.
And still a man died in what Bealefeld called "a stupid, senseless fight," and a little boy was hit by a stray bullet. The little boy is going to recover, thank God.
There were between 70,000 and 80,000 people downtown for the fireworks by official count, and more around the waterfront from Federal Hill to Canton. Police arrested 30 people for various crimes and stupidity and took 20 teenagers to the curfew center.
They are looking for two more people to arrest.
If you have seen this fellow, or know him, or know of him, call 1-866-7LOCKUP (756-2587). Help rid the streets of a knucklehead.
And if you know, or hear of some idiot who was firing his gun in the air near Harborplace, call 1-866-7LOCKUP (756-2587) and rid the streets of another knucklehead.
Speaking of knuckleheads, there are two roaming around Highlandtown and Patterson Park, and brave and enterprising youths that they are, they're attacking middle-aged and elderly people and robbing them.
They jumped an 84-year-old man in the 3500 block Fleet Street, for crying out loud, and other younger victims on Bouldin Street, on Gough, and on Baltimore Street in Butchers Hill.
They attack their victims from behind, hit them in the back of the head and continue to beat them as they lie on the ground. Then they rob the victims of whatever they can rummage from their pockets and bags.
If you see these youths, who are described as black males, thin builds, close cropped hair or shaved head, between 5'8" and 5'11" tall, call 911. If you know who they are call Lt. Richard Gibson or Det. Bomani Murphy of the Southeastern District Detective Unit at 410-396-2499. They want these boys badly.
We depend on the cops to keep some kind of order in this town, and they depend on us to help, because they can't be everywhere and they can't possibly see everything that goes on.
When it comes right down to it, we're responsible for our own safety. When we see something' from a street mugging to dumping to drug dealing and don't report it, we help the problem spread and fester. Crime grows in the dark. When citizens act as eyes and ears for the cops, we help make crime shrivel and shrink.
If we care about each other, if we want the best for Baltimore, then if we know something we will tell what we know.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake had it right at yesterday's press conference about the Inner Harbor crimes: the people who commit these kinds of senseless, violent acts are "cowards."
And Commissioner Bealefeld had it right when he said the city has to do a better job of holding people accountable for the "crazy things they do."
Let's help them out if we can.

A retcon for Garrosh would be like... oh Grom really wasn't your father, you are actually Thrall's brother, and Durotan was your father. And you don't have green skin because a wizard put a shield on you in your mother's womb.
Retcons actually change the history of people. People can develop and change on their own to become more good or more evil, that's character development, and that is the difference between the two.

Some Women Undergo Unnecessary Osteoporosis Screening
A new study conducted at Reading Hospital and Medical Center in Pennsylvania suggests that many women undergo unnecessary osteoporosis screening, regardless of their risk of developing the condition, a recent Reuters article says.
What Does the Study Say?
The study looked at 615 women who underwent screening at Connecticut clinics. Current guidelines state that women over the age of 65 should be screened for osteoporosis. Women with certain risk factors such as smoking, are advised to begin screening their bones at age 50.
The study, conducted by Dr. Peter F. Schnatz at the Reading Hospital, concluded that of the 615 women who were looked at, 41 percent did not meet the criteria for the screening to be worthwhile. According to Dr. Schnatz, women themselves ask to be screened, and many doctors might not be aware of the age specific guidelines for screening. Dr. Schnatz feels "the findings are certainly not encouraging" given the risks women are taking by undergoing unnecessary screenings and deciding to take an osteoporosis drug like Fosamax.
Bone density tests are simple enough and non-invasive, but can run $200-$300 per test. In addition, some younger women may have a "T" score indicative of lower than normal bone density for a woman her age, which may not indicate overt osteoporosis, but could compel some doctors to offer treatment. Given the risks of femur fractures and other side effects associated with taking Fosamax and other bisphosphonate drugs, women may be putting themselves at risk for no good reason.
The screening guidelines were established by the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), in concurrence with the guidelines set by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. In 2010, the NAMS updated its guidelines to include daily alcohol consumption and rheumatoid arthritis in its screening criteria, in addition to low body weight (under 127 pounds), history of post-menopausal fractures or hip fractures.
This study, according to Dr. Schnatz and his team of researchers, is considered a jumping off point for larger studies to determine whether this is a nationwide dilemma, since the 615 women studied were all from the same geographic area.
Speak to Your Doctor About the Necessity of Screening
Women should do their homework when it comes to whether or not they are candidates for osteoporosis screening. Confer with your doctor based on your current medical condition, family history and other factors that could indicate susceptibility to osteoporosis.
Protect Your Rights as a Consumer
If you have been taking Fosamax for an extended period of time, and have experienced a femur fracture, it could be because of the medication. If you feel you have a potential femur fracture lawsuit against Merck, the manufacturer of Fosamax, the lawyers at the Rottenstein Law Group can help. Our Fosamax lawyers have over 25 years of experience advocating for clients in consumer product injury and mass tort cases.
For more information, please fill out our contact form. One of our lawyers will be in touch shortly.

The pork and the cider sauce were good, but there was too much sage and too many sweet potatoes - and I only used two. Could adjust, but I probably won't make this again. If you love sage and sweet potatoes this could be a great fall recipe.
Pork Chops with Sweet Potatoes
Yield: 4 servings
- 4 (1/2-inch-thick) butterflied boneless pork chops
- 1 cup apple cider, divided
- 4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 large Rome or other cooking apples, cored and sliced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- Brown pork chops on both sides in a nonstick skillet; set aside.
- Place 3/4 cup apple cider and next 5 ingredients in skillet. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
- Add apple and pork chops; cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until sweet potato is tender and pork chops are done. Remove apple, sweet potato, and pork chops to serving plate, reserving drippings in skillet.
- Combine remaining 1/4 cup cider with cornstarch, stirring until smooth. Stir into drippings. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Pour over pork chops.

Governor Patrick's stated goal in proposing about $2 billion in assorted tax increases is to make the system more "progressive." Because Massachusetts is one of only seven states that impose the same tax rate on all taxpayers regardless of income, greater progressivity would be created not via a graduated rate structure but by doubling personal exemptions that provide greater benefit for low and middle income residents than for the wealthy when measured as a percentage of their income, and by lowering the sales tax rate while increasing the income tax rate.
But the governor's plan would also eliminate 44 personal income tax breaks, most of which are "progressive" in an economic and political sense. They include tax deductions and exclusions for college tuition, childcare expenses, social security taxes, health savings accounts, adoption expenses, employee education costs reimbursed by employers, and dependents under 12. It would also eliminate incentives designed to encourage people to take in foster children, commute using public transportation, make energy improvements in or remove lead paint from their homes, and repair septic systems.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
This is a really good article. Let me establish that, wholeheartedly and truly, with big thumbs up to both the writer and the commenters supporting, it before I launch into the but.
It is so sad that it has come to this. Now, I'll love to be proven wrong by similar articles for tank and DPS, but I'm currently assuming those articles aren't coming, and the message behind that likelihood is the greatest failure of Cataclysm: the trial, indeed, the intensified trial, of the healer.
One person in five should not have this much responsibility and pressure to make or break a group's chances.
One role in three should not have so much social weight in the sphere of guilds and circles of players.
The greatest failing of the outdated trinity is that the "value" and responsibilities are not remotely fair across all roles. Cataclysm just further exacerbated this problem, and I'm disappointed that that appears to be "working as intended".
Healers are the new tanks, as it relates to rarity of skillset and personality type, and I say this as a tank. The pressure on a tank is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the tank is at least "battling the boss", doing something heroic, something conventionally "sexy". I always, always sincerely compliment a good healer, and they beam like a parched man in a desert being offered a gatorade, because of how seldom their hard work is appreciated, and that very status quo is a sad, broken, outdated state of things. I have clung tenaciously to contacts I could barely stand, because they were healers, I have watched people grab on to this trend and ride it into the ground, because they were healers.
The fact that we have an article indirectly screaming "don't piss off the ones that will still heal!" speaks to how badly Blizzard failed at injecting fun into healing. I had three healer characters in WOTLK, and have always had at least one, dating back to vanilla, and I will not touch it now. Some of the most dedicated healers I've known have taken up DPS specs or classes in Cataclysm. In banking on "they will love managing their mana AND the green bars", Blizzard gambled and lost.
Again, I applaud this article, I am only shaking my head at a state of the game that necessitates it.
Long live the healers, the unsung heroes. Blizzard hands you lemons, and you make lemonade, but you really shouldn't have to.
I think you may have had a point at the beginning of Cataclysm, but no longer. Queuing up as heals for the new raid finder will cure you of the idea that the design currently puts too much pressure on healers.
Also, with people over-gearing even the new HoT 5-mans now, healing is getting much more stress free. My only fail groups are with the rare occasions where 2 or 3 of the other four people have never done the instance before and their dps or rotations or tanking is just not experienced enough to be able to be covered by the other 2 or 3 good people. I believe you could 4-man these dungeons, in other words, but not yet 3-man them.
I'd like to point out that no one starts out overgeared.
See, this attitude is part of the problem: yes, when overgeared, I'm sure the stress is lessened, but that's not the point. On par, gear to content, it's still more stressful than it should be. The idea that healers need to be overgeared to "get a fair shake/perform at the community's expectations" is even worse than the thankfully nixed idea of defense capping. At least with defense, we knew when we "were good to go".
I've got 3 raid-geared 85 healers and totally agree.
They also gambled that DPS would quickly learn and properly execute the fight mechanics, thus reducing the pressure on healers. This also did not happen. DPS got used to being sloppy in Wrath and still haven't recovered. They still haven't figured out that healers can't brute force the group through sloppy play like in Wrath.
Despite my gripes about tanks, I rarely find one that blames me for a wipe. They mostly have figured out how challenging Cata healing can be. It helps that i openly admit the ones that are my fault. They do happen occasionally. :)

"There is no storm, no fire, no terrorist act that can destroy the spirit of our city, and keep us from looking forward envisioning a better tomorrow."
Um, that's right Bloomberg.
Only lack of government preparedness before the storm, neglect for the city's poorest residents, and a lack of shelters with running water and heat can destroy the spirit of our city… And only in the outer boroughs where your friends don't live… in places that the majority of New Yorkers will never see.
"The stories of heartbreak are unimaginable… We met with first responders whose job was to find two children… Some elderly couples just couldn't leave… Folks are looking to Washington for how can you help us… Some still don't have electricity…"
New York State has received $27.7 million in federal Disaster National Emergency Grant (NEG) funds.
The grant will be used to hire workers to help clean up communities affected by Hurricane Sandy in Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Orange, Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties.
Workers who lost their jobs as a direct result of Hurricane Sandy or workers who were unemployed prior to the storm are eligible to apply for temporary positions.
By Phone: Contact the Department of Labor at: 1-888-4-NYSDOL (1-888-469-7365).
Online: Please fill out and submit the online registration form, (En Españolformulario de inscripción en línea). The New York State Department of Labor will work with local officials to recruit and hire workers.
In Person: Individuals can also visit their local Disaster Recovery Centeror One-Stop Career Center.
Available FEMA Jobs
Governor Cuomo is also partnering with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to hire over 300 workers to assist in recovery efforts in disaster-stricken communities.
These full-time, temporary positions are wide-ranging, from Community Relations Specialists providing outreach to the disaster-stricken communities, to administrative assistants.
To apply: Individuals interested in applying for a job with FEMA should visitGovernor Cuomo's Jobs Express website.
Salaries have been determined based on local wages to ensure an hourly wage comparable to the private sector.
Qualified applicants selected for a position will be fingerprinted for background security checks with results within 24 to 48 hours.
Approved candidates will then be formally offered positions and sworn in.
This is great and all, but checking on residents in highrise and lowrise buildings is something that volunteers have been doing for weeks.
Glad to see that the Mayor's office just caught on…
Mayor Bloomberg, Deputy Mayor Gibbs and Chief Service Officer Billings-Burford today announced volunteers will begin to contact and assess residents in buildings less than six stories that still do not have electricity, heat or running water as part of a new targeted door-to-door canvass…
Time magazine has a piece on how Hurricane Sandy fundamentally changed the relationship between Occupy Wall Street and New York City government, thanks to the fact that Bloomberg et al have relied so heavily on OWS offshoot Occupy Sandy to keep citizens alive in the weeks after the storm.
It's a great story that lays out why the City needs Occupy. But what it doesn't touch on much is the fact that Occupy in many ways needs the city, too; and that some of the best moments in the relief effort have come when the city has provided resources that the grassroots movement will never have. Sometimes this came in the form of giving Occupy Sandy resources to push out through its massive grassroots distribution network; and sometimes it came in the form of police officers and the National Guard providing security at sites where the group had set up donation centers.
If this truce only lasts as long as the hurricane clean up effort, then not only will NYC government continue to have a gaping hole in its emergency response plan, Occupy will have missed an opportunity to influence, in a more permanent way, how the city treats citizens. Certainly Occupy has shown that there's a faster, more humane way to help people in need. The group can continue to push that agenda as a band of outsiders, but a seat at the table can be a very powerful thing.
From the Twitter stream of Gov. Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo)
If you lost your job/income due to #Sandy, there's fed assistance available: Call 1-888-209-8124 or 1-877-358-5306 if you live out of state
Mayor Bloomberg today launched NYC Restore, a new way to connect residents and businesses impacted by Hurricane Sandy with financial, health, environmental, nutritional and residential services, as well as FEMA assistance processing.
The seven NYC Restoration Centers will be located in the…
Mayor Bloomberg, City Council Speaker Quinn and Comptroller Liu today announced a $500 million emergency plan to repair public schools and hospitals damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
The plan calls for an appropriation of $200 million for the Department of Education and $300 million for the New York City Health and Hospital Corporation. School and hospital repair needs include structural restorations, new boilers, new electrical systems, roof repairs, flood remediation and more.

Hank Williams III
BiographyIt can't be too easy being Hank Williams III and having people expect you to fill two pairs of boots. Luckily, the grandson to the Honky-Tonk legend and son of one of Southern Rock's biggest outlaws has found his own sound and style. Depending on who he's sharing a bill with, Hank III can be seen effortlessly walking a musical tightrope between Old-Time Revival/Honky-Tonk songs and more snot-nosed, bratty Cowpunk songs. In the former, his voice hauntingly croons and cries in a style slightly similar to his late grandfather, but it more closely resembles that of Hank III's contemporary and friend, Wayne Hancock. Hank III also has a side project named Assjack, which Williams describes as "hellbilly danger with and old school punk feel."

Already have, or will have to get a bigger server for MLANET.
There is a real shortage of medical librarians, and that will only increase. An article in Modern Healthcare discusses medical librarians.
UptoDate wants to link to PubMed
MLA is currently working on an independent reading program for MLA CE. CE is partnering with public librarians.
Terry Jankowski is the AHIP representative.
Nominations Committee Report by Kim Granath:
The 2001 ballot included 5 candidate for 3 positions: Chair-Elect,
Recording Secretary, and MLA Nominating Committee nominee. A total of 194
ballots were mailed out and 105 were returned. The new PNC officers
PNC/MLA Bylaws Committee Report submitted by Jan Schueller, Chair
In late 2000 MLA Headquarters distributed the newly revised Model Bylaws for Chapters and Sections of the Medical Library Association, Inc. The PNC Bylaws Committee has been reviewing our bylaws for any mandated or advisable changes, which are minimal. In addition, comments were solicited and received from the PNC in such areas as budget completion dates and elections. A revision document will be ready for member consideration in Fall 2001.
Other Discussion:
Conference Participation by Membership.
Ongoing question is the problem of location. We have decided to have meetings in the major cities (Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver) from now on. Membership wants to be close to downtown, but hotels are more expensive. But ambiance is important. For 2003, INWHISL has accepted responsibility for the conference in Seattle.
Recommendation: That the MLA speaker speak at the business meeting rather than at the RML breakfast. Business meeting has always been the second morning.
Some discussion that CE needs to be more diversified. For example, a lot of libraries can get documents with their existing technology, but don't realize it. Should do a panel on this topic.
Meeting Survey Report by Kim Granath:
Got 61 returns on the electronic meeting survey. Reasons members said
conferences are important to them:
Reasons cited for not attending meetings:
Board discussed having weekend meetings or 2 day meetings to cut down on cost.
2004 Conference in Sacramento by Kathy Murray:
Board approved a joint meeting with California that year in Sacramento. Southwest has very cheap flights to California. California group will get any profits, but we will talk about the possibility of them coming to the PNW, and us keeping profits for that meeting.
Thank Yous
Need a formal thank you to Jan Schueller for her work on the Bylaws Committee, and a gift.
Also a thank you to Janet Schnall for keeping the Archives.
This document will contain the goals and objectives for the chapter, and a 5 year plan. Bob Pringle proposed that he, as chair elect, and one other person go over the project. Then plan a two day retreat to work on the Map for 2002.
Discussion about whether Board can get one night lodging paid for if it's
not in the body of the meeting. The final motion was the following:
Suggestion: Have a meeting with planning people from past and future conferences to discuss basic conference ideas.
The meeting was adjourned at 4 PM.

Nescafé® Green Blend
Summer is finally on its way and that means its time to crawl out of hibernation and get fit for those sunshine months. And giving your lifestyle a spring clean may be easier than you thought.

You don't need to adapt your lifestyle dramatically to enjoy a healthier life. Sometimes improving your wellbeing can be as easy as making small lifestyle changes, that make a big difference.
You may be surprised to learn that something as simple as your daily coffee fix can have health benefits*. We all know that eating fresh fruit and vegetables is good for you, but are you aware that there are possible health benefits from drinking coffee, too?
ALL coffee is naturally rich in antioxidants, which also occur in almost all plant foods such as vegetables, cereals, fruits, nuts and plant derived drinks such as fruit juices. But now NESCAFÉ has created new NESCAFÉ Green Blend, which has been created to maximise these potential benefits.
Made from a special blend of 100% pure and natural coffee beans, NESCAFÉ Green Blend perfectly combines green coffee beans with roasted coffee beans to ensure great tasting coffee that is rich in flavour and aroma but also has potential health benefits.

Although all coffee is naturally rich in antioxidants, the goodness of NESCAFÉ Green Blend lies within the green coffee beans, which contain high levels of polyphenol antioxidants.
Polyphenol antioxidants occur naturally in fruits, vegetables and beverages made from plants.
In clinical trials, the polyphenol antioxidants from coffee have been shown to be absorbed by the body and to have health supporting benefits which may protect the body against day to day cell damage caused by excess free radicals. Free radicals can be produced in excess following exposure to UV Light, cigarette smoke and pollution.
As Nescafé® Green Blend is a blend of green and roasted coffees, you can enjoy this delicious, aromatic coffee as you would your regular coffee. Add milk and sugar if desired. Enjoy NESCAFÉ Green Blend as part of a healthy balanced diet and lifestyle. So, for an easy way to pack more antioxidants into your diet, try NESCAFÉ Green Blend.
What do antioxidants do?
Studies have shown there are many benefits from eating plenty of antioxidant-rich foods and beverages.
Antioxidants come to the rescue of healthy body cells by mopping up some of the excess free radicals which would otherwise damage human cells. Excess free radicals are harmful to cells through oxidative damage which is also known as oxidative stress. Antioxidants can protect cells from this day-to-day oxidative stress.
Our bodies naturally produce antioxidants but modern living can take its toll. We can help to support our natural defences by consuming foods which contain antioxidants.
What are polyphenols?
Polyphenols are a type of antioxidant and constitute one of the most numerous and widely distributed groups of substances in the plant kingdom, with more than 8000 polyphenols currently known.
Polyphenol antioxidants occur in almost all plant foods (vegetables, cereals, legumes, fruits, nuts, etc.) and beverages (tea, cocoa, wine, cider, beer, etc.). In some plants, the formation of some polyphenol antioxidants greatly depends on light; therefore, the highest concentrations are found in leaves and outer parts of plants like coffee beans. Plant-based beverages, such as coffee, can provide a significant amount of polyphenols to our diet.
* Health benefits referred to are as per scientific research commissioned by Nestle and others and do not reflect research or findings of MSN UK editorial.

Barneys' Foundation Level Gets A Facelift
The word I would use to describe the cosmetics and fragrance floors of most department stores: bedlam. Not only are salespeople aiming atomizers at you and threatening to spritz, but you feel pressured to purchase if you so much as take a glance at the latest offerings. Not to mention, the counters are usually crammed together and the competition for your attention is fierce. (OK, at this point, I'm ready to hashtag myself: #firstworldproblems.)
If you're looking for a more serene shopping experience, however, Barneys New York just revamped their Foundation level (of which I got a tour last night). Not only does the space boast a modern and clean aesthetic, featuring a sculptural fragrance bar in front of a great glass wall of perfumes, but you can walk the wide, white aisles undisturbed. There are also boutiquelike alcoves dedicated to one brand (such as Frédéric Malle, which includes a "scent chamber" that allows you to experience an eau without any outside interference).
In addition to perusing the luxe goods that line the shelves, you can get a blowout at Valery Joseph's in-house salon, your brows shaped by Robert Sweet William, makeup touchups by Jason Ascher, and treatments like a massage after an exhausting day of shopping (cue the aforementioned hashtag) at the Mila Moursi Skin Care Institute. Architect Steven Harris, working with Lucian Rees Roberts, the founding partner of interiors at the firm, said he aimed to design something "different than your standard retail boilerplate." Mission accomplished.—Amber Kallor
