--Companies don't want the expense of providing health-insurance coverage for spouses
--Spouses 'encouraged' to move to their own employers' health-insurance plans
--New health-care exchanges seen lessening the need for firms to provide spousal coverage
By Jen Wieczner
Companies have a new solution to rising health-insurance costs: Break up their employees' marriages.
By denying coverage to spouses, employers not only save the annual premiums but also the new fees that went into effect as part of the Affordable Care Act. This year, companies have to pay $1 or $2 "per life" covered on its plans, a sum that jumps to $65 in 2014. In addition, health-law guidelines proposed recently mandate coverage of employees' dependent children (up to age 26) but husbands and wives are optional. "The question about whether it's obligatory to cover the family of the employee is being thought through more than ever before," says Helen Darling, president of the National Business Group on Health.
While surcharges for spousal coverage are more common, 6% of large employers excluded spouses in 2012, up from 5% in 2010, as did 4% of huge companies with at least 20,000 employees, twice as many as in 2010, according to human-resources firm Mercer, a unit of Marsh & McLennan Cos. (MHC). These "spousal carve-outs," or "working spouse provisions," generally prohibit only people who could get coverage through their own job from enrolling in their spouse's plan.
Such exclusions barely existed three years ago but experts expect an increasing number of employers to adopt them. "That's the next step," Ms. Darling says. HMS Holdings Corp. (HMSY), a company that audits plans for employers, estimates that nearly one-third of companies might have such policies now. Holdouts say they feel under pressure to follow suit. "We're the last domino," says Duke Bennett, mayor of Terre Haute, Ind., which is instituting a spousal carve-out for the city's health plan, effective July 2013, after nearly all major employers in the area dropped coverage of spouses.
But when employers drop spouses, they often lose more than just the one individual as couples choose instead to seek coverage together under the other partner's employer. Terre Haute, which pays $6 million annually to insure nearly 1,200 people including employees and their family members, received more than 20 new plan members when a local university, bank and county government stopped insuring spouses, according to Mr. Bennett. "We have a great plan, so they want to be on ours. All we're trying to do is level the playing field here," he says.
While couples generally prefer to be on the same health plan, companies often find that spouses are more expensive to insure than their own employees. That's because, say benefits experts, covered spouses tend to be women, who as a group not only spend more on health care but also have more free time to go to the doctor if they don't work. Indeed, JetBlue Airways Corp.'s (JBLU) covered spouses cost 50% more than crewmembers themselves, according to the airline's online question-and-answer section about its health plan, which this year extended wellness incentives to spouses for the first time.
About one-fifth of companies had policies to discourage spouses from joining their health plans in 2012, according to Mercer, though most just charged extra--$100 a month, on average--to cover spouses who could get insurance elsewhere, rather than deny coverage entirely. Indeed, large firms including generic-drugs maker Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA, TEVA.TV) and supply-chain manager Intermec Inc. (IN) have spousal surcharges costing $100 a month, or $1,200 annually, while Xerox Corp. (XRX) charges $1,000 for the year.
But experts say more companies are likely to drop spouses altogether, whether they work or not--especially when the new federal health-care exchanges open in 2014, providing an alternative for spouses left out in the cold. "When there's a place for people to go, employers won't feel as beholden or compelled to cover the spouse," says Joan Smyth, an employee-benefits consultant with Mercer.
Companies that recently decided to drop spouses from their plans range from private insurance agencies to school systems and universities such as Ball State, as well as large companies such as pump and valve manufacturer Flowserve Corp. (FLS). Wisconsin-based furniture company KI Inc. carved out spouses this year when couples flocked to its plan for the first time during open enrollment. "Now, each employer is responsible for its own employee," says Timothy Van Severen, corporate risk manager for KI, which insures about 1,700 employees in its health plan. "We were going to see a higher claim cost if we didn't do that, because of the migration coming back to us."
Some companies drive spouses away using other tactics, such as making spousal coverage prohibitively expensive through higher surcharges or by making reimbursement rates so low that spouses can't afford the plans. The share of employers which allow spouses in their plan but don't pay for any part of it rose to 3% this year from zero previously, according to human-resources consulting firm Towers Watson & Co. (TW). Global defense contractor Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC) will cover spouses who can get insurance through their own employers, but only if they first enroll in their own plan and use Northrop's as secondary coverage. (Some companies actually pay spouses an incentive if they enroll in their own plans, though insurance experts say that the incentive is a waste of money--and that employers would do better by just cutting spouses off.) "You're making it kind of a no-brainer for the other adult dependent to get on his or her own plan," says Helen Darling, president of the National Business Group on Health. "No one wants to be just a dependent magnet."
But as with any breakup, the separation of spouses into different health plans can be traumatic for families. Greg Fischer, a vice president in the employer solutions division at HMS Holdings, says demand has increased for the company's dependent audits, which have revealed that 3% of spouses are ineligible for the health plans, either because of plan rules or divorce and legal marriage issues. The news can be upsetting to couples when one partner is forced to pay more for coverage or accept lesser benefits: One spouse may even have to stop seeing the family doctor if his or her new plan stipulates a different set of providers. "I think that's where the pain point comes in for the employee--that their spouse may have to be covered under a different plan, or their benefits might be reduced," Mr. Fischer says.
Couples then have to decide whether to stick together, even if it means losing benefits, or to split up so at least one spouse maintains coverage. If they separate, they may also have to choose under which plan to insure their children or whether to use different plans for each. "It certainly makes the family unit have to do some real soul-searching and figure out what works best for them," says Karen McLeese, vice president of employee regulatory affairs for CBIZ Benefits & Insurance Services, a unit of CBIZ Inc. (CBZ). The decision, she adds, will likely come down to dollars and cents.
For their part, employers say they try to educate employees on their options well in advance of the change, and health plans or insurance brokers sometimes step in to guide people through the transition and help them find doctors in their new network. In disclosing its spousal carve-out, Ball State University, for one, warned employees to prepare "since this is a potentially life-changing event." The university's employee-benefits staff worked with spouses and their employers to guide them through the transition onto their own plan and have even allowed some spouses with "uncooperative" companies to stay on "until the conflict is resolved," says Joan Todd, a spokeswoman for the university. "We wanted to be very careful that no spouse would lose coverage before they could be placed on their own employer's plan."

Have ran this machine for about 3 months or so and haven't had a single problem with this unit. Cuts great and even. My only gripes with this machine is that the seat being black gets very hot when left in the sun. Would have been nice if it were red or any other color to mitigate this. I actually bought a JD seat cover since it was yellow to stay cool and it has pockets on the back. Also the gass gauge window is useless. It's so small and rudimentary that you can't use it. But other than that happy buy. Never had any problems with the reverse being slow or noise. It's not very fast but I can go up an incline in reverse no problem so long as I can keep traction. I can cut my one acre in half an hour. Would be nice if the chute for mowing was easily removable since I'll never use it since I always mulch or bag.

This machine is a beast! It cuts well where I have actually grass. It does a good job on the buffalo grass in my yard. It takes two passes to cut the full blade width but short of a brushhog thats the best I can do with any lawn tract

This tractor was awesome for the first 20Hrs. of use. I received it at the end of June and I was happy with it until the end of August. It squeaked ever since it was delivered and I thought it was the wheel in the middle of the deck, well it turned out to be the front wheel spindle. The part was ordered twice and never shipped. Sears is delivering a new mower to replace the one I have this weekend.

Purchased Craftsman 917.20391 mower 4-12-14 Delivered 1st machine to our home on 4-21-14, upon inspection spark plug was broken, Svc tech arrived 4-26-14 and replaced spark plug, took keys out of package and svc tech started machine and clutch assembly fell out of bottom of machine onto the ground. New machine ordered with svc tech. Delivered 2nd machine to our home on 5-1-14. Stopped into store and requested svc call on 2nd machine. Light harness burnt, hood bent, wheels on deck bent, back right wheel on deck sticks and does not rotate, grinding noise in reverse. I had 6 service calls, about 15 days of waiting for service tech and dealing with sales people and general manager in store. they have replaced about $1500 dollars worth of parts on two new machines, the price of the new machine was about $2000, do the math. I finally received a full refund 8-11-14. I have been an owner of craftsman lawn mowers for nearly 30 years.I will not purchase again. Do not buy this machine!

After looking at several used 48" Decks and mower along with new multiple brands The craftsman mower has heavier frame, deck material is stamped and heavy duty, Seat is super nice. Just overall a strong machine. The hood is metal like my old one. Unlike others on here the automatic CVT is strong. Very happy with the purchase and very glad to have purchsed this one.

I'm a rual home owner in North Carolina with grass on various terrians. Some hilly, some flat some very thick and fast growing fescue. I've found the v-twin has all the power I need to cut the heavy grass even if it's damp. The tight turns are amazing the top speed available is seldom used mowing but very handy when going from one section to another. I love the hydrastatic transmission, the foot controls are very easy to get use too for myself. I've had absolutely no issues with anythng on the mower. I like the lower stance which is more comfortable and safe on the hilly conditions. I've used it once a week for the last month and it has reduced my mowng time by 40%. I've had a Cub Kadett, a Snapper, a Toro and a Husky and this Craftsman is my favorite.

I like almost everything about this mower. It mows very well, has plenty of power and the bagger works great. I like the three blades as there is less scalping of the lawn. The only down side is they changed transmissions, more plastic gears, etc. The reverse gear is not the same as the previous Sears hydrostat mowers. It is VERY slow to back up on a level area and will not back up on any kind of an incline. The 3 year old Sears mower that this replaced had no problem backing up the same incline in the lawn. I had Sears Service come and check it out. The service tech checked everything out to make sure there was nothing wrong, but said this is a common problem and not repairable. So, if you plan to back up any kind of an incline at the end of a run rather than making a circle turn, it won't do it. Apparently, Sears, like many companies, has chosen to let the consumer do product testing . . . then suffer the consequences.

Some employers use computer monitoring to track whether employees are using the various software programs that are installed on their personal computers and workstations. As a whole, the industry has made strides toward encouraging only licensed versions of software. As a result of this, companies are now regularly purchasing multiple licenses for their networks and installing software enterprise-wide. However, some software programs may be used by only a few people and companies are eager to track down unused software so that they can reduce their MIS costs in the future. Employees are reluctant to give up software, or may anticipate that they will have a need for a particular piece of software that they actually do not need. By monitoring the software that an employee actually uses, and the ways in which the employee uses it, companies hope to be able to reduce their long-term costs (Buss 47).
One of the most controversial, and invasive, methods of computer monitoring is reading the e-mail which comes into and which leaves an organization. Many employees have assumed that their e-mail was personal in much the same way that personal ma

Will handwriting go extinct like an ancient art only practiced by a handful of people across the world?
I recently took a writing class at a local community college where the professor did not allow us to use computers while in the classroom. We had to use pens and paper to write rough drafts of stories, arguments, observations and comparisons.
To me, the act of handwriting had not been regularly practiced since I was in high school during the early nineties and yet over half the class were students under the age of 19 years old. The rest of the class varied from 20 to 50 in age and yet by handwriting alone, I could tell which student had the better handwriting.
Some of the younger students weren't able to write cursive at all, others barely made anything legible, while the older students were commended on their nice writing, I couldn't help but wonder if the younger generation were no longer going to learn to legibly write well.
Some of the students I spoke to about this observation claimed they were never taught to write in cursive and did all of their writing assignments and notes on a laptop since they were in kindergarten. Even printing letters was a challenge for them for they lacked the practiced motor skills in their hands to allow other humans to read their ideas.
After the course ended, I've asked friends, strangers at cafes and other teachers if this was a dreadful decline in penmanship that will never come back as a means of communication.
What do you think? Will handwriting, printing or cursive, become a rare art that only artists and historians would practice? Will typing eventually become the only way we can communicate unspoken words to other humans? Will children eventually grow up never knowing how to hold a pencil and write?

Aug 3 2011: I feel cursive handwriting will disappear. I know personally, at my 7 year old nephews school they recently said they were taking cursive handwriting out of the school and replacing it with keyboard efficiency. Where 10 years ago I was learning handwriting at this same exact school. So I can see this making it's way into other schools and over time becoming the "normal". I do think that it is a shame. My aunts and uncles still seem to be using handwriting quite regularly. But I don't see this in people my age group (20). I only truthfully ever use it when signing my name. Other then that I type. Or print. So in the foreseeable future I don't see all hand written techniques being completely lost. But I am seeing the start of this process of eliminating handwriting even in my little hometown. Thanks for this thought, it raises very good points.

NEW ORLEANS - Injuries and illness across New Orleans' roster provided Daruis Miller a chance to play extended minutes with his old Kentucky teammate, Anthony Davis.
They did a lot of winning together in college, and Wednesday night's game against an NBA playoff contender was no different.
Davis had 16 points, 13 rebounds and six blocks while Miller capped a 16-point outing with a pair of clutch jumpers, and the under-manned Pelicans won their fourth straight, 98-96 over the Los Angeles Clippers.
"I just knew I had an opportunity. I wanted to come out and play aggressively," said Miller, whose nearly 29 minutes of action were more than double his season average of 11.8. "I just so happened to have a good game. I think everybody did, though. Everybody stepped up and that's the reason why we won."
Miller's 3 made it 95-90, and his 16-foot jumper coming off a screen to the left of the foul line gave the Pelicans a 97-92 lead with 47 seconds left.
Anthony Morrow, also playing extended minutes, scored 27 points, while reserve centre Alexis Ajinca added 14 points and 11 rebounds.
"We beat a team that's got a chance to win a title," Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. "I can't say enough about our group. It felt like a playoff game in there tonight."
Jamal Crawford scored 31 for the Clippers, but narrowly missed a couple late 3-point attempts, including one as time expired that could have won it.
"We didn't execute the play," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said of the final seconds. "But the game didn't come down to the final play. I really thought (New Orleans) deserved to win.
"If we had won, I would have taken it, but sometimes the basketball gods punish you for messing around and I though that's what we did."
Former New Orleans star Chris Paul had 12 assists, but set a Clippers record for shooting futility by missing all 12 of his attempts from the field. His only points came on two foul shots.
"If I go 0 for 15 or 0 for 20 and we win, I could care less," said Paul, whose team had won nine of its previous 10 games to get within striking distance of the second playoff seed in the Western Conference. "It's more than this game. It's about playing the right way going into the playoffs."
Blake Griffin had 21 points, including a late off-balance floater as he was fouled with 10.5 seconds left. But he missed the following free throw that could have tied it. Davis rebounded the miss, but clanked a free throw on the other end, giving Los Angeles one more chance to tie or win.
Davis scored 10 of his points in the second half, including a two-handed dunk in which he sprung toward the hoop from right side of the lane too quickly for DeAndre Jordan to respond. Davis also took on Griffin with confidence, rising over him to score on one end and alter his shots on the other.
"AD wanted to prove that he and Blake are on the same level," Williams said.
Jordan had 11 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks, but lamented, "We didn't play defence in the first half. We gave them a lot of confidence and when that happens it's hard to turn guys off."
Pelicans guard Eric Gordon missed his third straight game with left knee tendinitis, while point guards Brian Roberts (bruised left knee) and Austin Rivers (upper respiratory infection) were also out.
That forced Williams to start shooting guard Tyreke Evans at point guard, with Miller, normally a small forward, also playing some minutes at guard. Evans finished with 10 points and nine assists.
"It's like MASH unit," Williams said. "We're sitting there looking at the guys go through warm-ups this morning and it didn't look good. So we brought the guys together and just talked to them about, 'Just compete at a high level.'"
New Orleans managed to keep pace with Los Angeles in part because Paul kept missing and didn't score until hitting two free throws with 2:52 left in the third quarter.
"Chris started pressing a little bit," Rivers said. "He was trying to get going, which you want him to do. Just keep doing it in the realm of the offence."
Notes: The Clippers went 13 of 30 from 3-point range. They won the previous 33 games in which they'd made at least nine 3s. ... The Pelicans' victory was their first over the Clippers in four games this season. They won't meet again. ... New Orleans reached 10 blocks in a game for the 10th time this season, most in the NBA.

Green Bay Packers rookie linebacker Nick Perry got a free run on Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Andrew Luck this past Sunday and Perry took advantage of the clear path. Perry hit Luck hard and jarred the ball loose. As a result of the devastating hit on Luck, Perry has been fined $15,000 by the league.
"[The NFL said] I led with the crown of my head. For that, I got fined," Perry said. "I've got to be more focused on making a play without the head."
Here is a GIF of the hit:
You judge for yourself. Was it a clean hit or is it a hit that warrants a $15,000 fine?

Art of Breathing: Techniques
Breathe of Fire or Kapalabhati Pranayama
Kapalabhati is a very active, forced exhalation with a passive, slower inhalation. To exhale, the belly quickly pumps into the spine forcing the air out of the nose (visualize trying to blow out a candle through you nose).
Place a hand on your belly to feel the belly actively pumping. Play with the beat that is most natural to you (45-60 exhalations/30 seconds), but keep a steady rhythm.
Try starting with 2-3 rounds of 10 exhalations. Then, gradually increase the exhalations, as you feel comfortable.

Secret Anunnaki Truths: Ultimate Intel Leaked - New Documentary (2012)

Secret Anunnaki Truths: Ultimate Intel Leaked - Documentary (2012)
THESE ARE KEYWORDS ONLY (THIS IS NOT A TRANSCRIPT OF THE DOCUMENTARY): The Anunnaki, also spelled Annunaki, also known as the Elohim, which is Hebrew for "gods" (deities also known as watchers) are in the process of returning and will soon we will fully experience their return. The first human civilization that the Anunnaki bestowed upon mankind was Sumer. The ancient Sumerians who occupied ancient Sumeria (modern day Iraq) were hybrids of the existing earth hominids and the gods, or extraterrestrials (aliens) were from planet Nibiru. The Anunnaki gave man truth, and proof of their existence and pending return has been purportedly been leaked to Wikileaks, including footage or reverse-engineered UFOs (i.e anti-gravity chariots, that were, for the ancients, when one was spotted in the sky, a IFO rather than a UFO). YouTube is a cesspool of CIA disinformation and black-op acclimation to New World Order agendas (NWO as in those who engineered it, the international power elite, i.e. the Illuminati) which are largely PSYOPS (including the PSYOP of making people think that the power elite are planning a false flag alien invasion by faking UFO sightings with fake UFOs and military in alien costumes. Well, Project Blue Beam (Bluebeam) is a disinformational psyoptical hoax. Why would the elite weaponize space if the threat to the evil New World Order was not real? Weaponization of space (see: Sergay) costs money (refer to the Nibiru documentary about aliens or the movie's various trailers). Zecharia Sitchin was not connected to HAARP or holograms - was all of his thorough and straightforward archeological research all a sham too? And what about crop circles? Cropcircles were encoded by the Anunnaki and decoded by human scientists as recently as this year, the year 2012. This is the year that YHVH, also known as Yahveh or YHWH (Yahweh) (the ancient Sumerians knew him as Enlil or EN.LIL. He was the same god as the Ehyeh (Elohiym) YHVH. The Elohim YHVH is the one modern human westerners know as "God", the God of the Israelites who most people know from the Old Testament *aka* the Torah, a re-writing of the ancient clay tablets dictated to the Sumerians (ancient Sumerian texts) by the Anunnaki, including YHVH the extraterrestrial in your Bible. Jews and the Jewish faith have their roots in the pre-flood Enlilites. EN.LIL was superior to his brother EN.KI in the way of power in that he was next in line for the throne on Nibiru. The Annunaki gave the Sumerian texts or Sumerian tablets to ancient humans the created because these aliens and benevolent. Zecharia Sitchin determined that YHVH was known by the ancient Sumerians as EN.LIL, and that Yahushua, the half-Anunnaki demigod or half-god Jesus, the Messiah of the Jews (technically a Nephilim or Nefilim but with the power of an enlightened soul) was of YHVH's elite bloodline which was royal and most elite of all Anunnaki bloodlines. The Beni Elohim or Beni-Elohim are the cast-off genetic degenerates known as the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, and the like. These occultists, who are the power elite of Earth, descend from the Igigi, the Nephilim (Nefilim) or fallen angels, and they are Satanists, and, in fact, the invented the term Satanism, though that term is merely a modern name for the evil practices of their secret societies, some of which are linked to the alien Greys, who are the true (non-shapeshifting) reptilians - the Greys are reptilian, but they are not shapeshifters. They probably had the CIA plant the disinformation about a pole shift *AKA* polar shift causing mass enlightenment and spiritual transformation during the apocalypse when the end of the world is upon us and the end game that was orchestrated through black ops, which stands for black operations, and are carried out by the CIA and black intel agencies, like the one that pretends to be the group "Anonymous". Speaking of PSYOPS, howya like the ol' Occupy Wall Street? The CIA mockingbird shill are all over YouTube like chemtrails and solar flares over Earth as ELEnin (Planet X), the Kachina star (have you read the prophecy and the other Hopi Indian prophesies? That is ancient intel, my friend - intelligence leaked by whistleblowers of the past, a whistleblower's whistleblower, known as White Knights, who leak sensitive intell from underground bases and set off nuclear weapons while the media does a full blackout because all Earth media is censored via conspiracy, just like our secret Earth history has been suppressed for so long.

How do they get away with a claim they are our creators and/or guardians? Is that supposed to be a bad joke? I guess people who want to believe this must also not have actually read the Anunnaki creation story... the reason stated for creating man. Also, the re-writing of Christian scriptures by their "channelled" messages is a huge give away as to who these messages are really from. Come on folks, this is such a massive pile of poo...

The Anunnaki were the offspring of the fallen angels and the daughters of man. God sent Noah's flood to destroy the wickedness of that time."And after that men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them, [2] The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took to themselves wives of all which they chose. [3] And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. [4] Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown. [5] And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times, [6] It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart, [7] He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them. [8] But Noe found grace before the Lord." (Genesis 6:1-8)http://www.drbo.org/chapter/01006.htmDon't be fooled. The antichrist and the fallen angels have to return before the second coming of Christ.

Steeling Through the Canadian Arctic & South Africa
Shweta is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
ArcelorMittal (NYSE: MT) aims at creating value with proper management strategy, expanded global reach, new technology, and sustainability, which also makes it a global leader in the steel industry. Its recent acquisition of the May River Deposit and the agreements it has executed in South Africa will help the company maintain its growth momentum in the long term. The company also remains focused on emerging markets like Brazil and China for its profits. The company has a significant market share in Brazil of about 30%, and it's trying to expand its operation in China, which produces half of the world's steel.
Talking about its competitors, Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ: STLD) and U. S. Steel Tubular Products (NYSE: X) are also making strategic moves for their long term growth.
The U.S. Steel Corporation has great exposure to the tubular products market. Its subsidiary, Steel Tubular Products, entered into a joint venture called Patriot Premium Threading Services with Butch Gilliam Enterprises LLC to provide tubular services at the Permian Basin, Texas. The joint venture will be a complete service provider that will be licensed to thread U.S. Steel Tubular's products along with accessories, and also to provide repairs, maintenance, and other technical assistance. The company already has an existing customer base in the energy segment, as it mainly deals in casing, tubing, line pipe, etc. Gilliam's deep knowledge of the energy sector and threading services will help the company provide better quality goods to U.S. Steel's existing customers and will help it tackle the future needs that may arise in the sector.
Steel Dynamics: The company, with its unique mini model, enjoys a competitive advantage over its rivals like US Steel. US Steel manufactures steel from iron ore, a process which uses energy in huge quantities, thus making its production more costly. On the other hand, Steel Dynamics recycles steel and metal scrap in electric arc furnaces, which utilize less energy and capital, leading to better operating margins. This also takes less preparation time and allows it to shift to different projects. Steel Dynamics is making diversifications and expansions in its product offerings and has planned to install a heat treating system in Structural and Rail Division's, which will produce about 35,000 tons of standard-strength and head-hardened plain, carbon steel rails for North America's railroad industry. This is a $27 million investment, and construction is expected to start in 2013. This will result in cost saving by reducing the cost of maintenance and replacement.
Bringing back our focus to ArcelorMittal, its ongoing dispute with the French government regarding nationalization of its Florange plant has finally come to an end. This has led to some positive outcomes, as the downstream facilities of Florange remain of utmost importance to ArcelorMittal, giving it huge exposure in the automotive sector. Apart from this it also has two other prominent fundamentals that will be crucial in its long term growth.
Acquisition of May River Deposit:
In 2011 ArcelorMittal acquired the May River deposit in the Canadian arctic region for a consideration of around $ 567 million with a view to achieve its goal of doubling its iron-ore production and to reduce its dependence on external suppliers in order to emerge as a world class steel and mining company. The company has already bagged approvals for this multi-billion dollars venture to develop one of the world's largest iron-ore mines in the Baffin Island, Canada.
The mines have the potential to generate $21 billion worth of iron-ore. The current production plan is for around 18 million tons of ore, which will increase quickly within few years of production. These arctic mines are untapped, and it is estimated that they hold approximately 373 million tons reserves of iron ore. Besides this, the mines are heavily loaded with other resources too, which can be the target of future explorations. It is expected that besides iron ore, these mines hold around 4.3 billion tons of crude ore, which is ready to be explored. The ore is not only in abundance, but is of high quality as well. These mines hold Tier 1 category reserves, i.e. 75% high-grade lumps, which is rare. The mined ore is of such a good quality that it can be shipped just after crushing and screening. It won't require processing or pelletizing of any kind. Hence it reduces the overall waste and cost of the project.
The company was a supplier by choice when it came to the South African power giant, Eskom. ArcelorMittal South Africa has entered into a 10 year steel supply agreement with Eskom, which has to procure steel for its ongoing renovations and construction of power stations. This agreement includes the supply of flat and long steel products, casting, forging, steel alloys, tubes, cold form sections, mesh products, and exotic steel products. In addition to this, the company's Vereeniging site supplies steel to Sulzer Pumps, which in turn provides pumps to Eskom.
Along with this, the company is also in discussions with Hitachi Power Africa regarding boiler building projects in some of its power stations that are under construction.
Summing up, I think this company, which produces 10% of the world's total steel production, has a growth road lying ahead. What I like the most about its strategy is its vertical integration approach, which makes it more competitive and flexible than its rivals. It helps the company in generating higher earnings with reduced raw material costs. With such profitable prospects and operational excellence this company remains my favorite for a long haul.

Fresh from Amelia Ceja's early-fall garden in the wine country of Napa Valley, California, eggplant with its skin on turns into a colorful, multitextured tostadita topping--great with sliced fresh radishes and crumbled queso fresco cheese.
Sunset OCTOBER 2013
1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add eggplant, onions, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggplant starts to soften, about 10 minutes.
2. Add remaining ingredients, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is dark and thick like chutney, about 30 minutes.
Make ahead: Up to one day; let cool, then chill airtight.
Wine pairing: Ceja 2008 Pinot Noir. The earthy berry fruit in the wine makes the sweetness of the fresh eggplant pop; a hint of sassafras doubles the effect.

If you are lucky you will have a private dorm room and you can get a loft bed that will provide space for a computer, desk and chair underneath so that the rest of your floor space can be for hanging out with friends. A bunk bed is always great because after a long night of studying you and a friend can crash together and get up for class the next morning.
Chairs and seating are important parts of a comfortable dorm room.

We obviously offer a great selection of computer chairs as well as those fun chairs, because we realize there is a need to balance work and fun!

Best bars in London - Wine bars
Time Out's guide to the best bars in London with outstanding wine lists
CommentsAdd +
© Ming Tang-Evans
Red, white, sparkling, dry - whatever you fancy there are plenty of bars serving great wine in the capital. From stylish wine bars to vino taverns, our critics' have rounded up the best bars in London with outstanding wine lists. Think we've missed a great wine bar in London? Let us know in the comment box below.
London's best wine bars
28°-50° Wine Workshop & Kitchen
This exciting collaboration between sommelier Xavier Rousset and executive chef Agnar Sverrisson (their second, following haute cuisine restaurant Texture) is focused on wine, but has much more attention on food than the average wine bar.
- 140 Fetter Lane, EC4A 1BT
Bar Pepito
Tucked away in a courtyard accessible via an alley at the foot of Pentonville Road, this rustic, Andalucían-themed bar is dedicated to sherry. With room for only four or five tables, all shaped from sherry casks, it's a tiny place – so small, in fact, that the toilet is across the road at Camino (run by the same folks) – but no less appealing for its lack of size.
- Varnishers Yard, (Regents Quarter), N1 9FD
Cellar Gascon
Something seems awry at the clubby wine-bar adjunct of the usually reliable Gascon operation. Its banquette cushions are sagging, and the veneer is wearing thin on its tables.
- 59 West Smithfield, EC1A 9DS
Kensington Wine Rooms
KWR is thoroughly modern in using dispensers to keep wine fresh for longer, so allowing single glasses to be served and thus facilitating experimentation.
- 127-129 Kensington Church Street, W8 7LP
The Remedy
In the 90s and Noughties, 'ABC' – Anything But Chardonnay – was the term used to describe a movement that avoided the obvious, the mass-produced, the populist. More than a decade later, in a city that's now brimming with exciting and unusual wines to try, there's no excuse for ordering the usual. Pop down to The Remedy for some proper excitement in your glass.
- 124 Cleveland St, W1T 6PG
Sager & Wilde
With its good looks and pooch-friendly policies, this Hoxton wine bar (a Shoreditch pop-up gone permanent) has plenty going for it. Not to mention a flat-rate £20 mark-up per bottle.
- 193 Hackney Road, E2 8JL
Terroirs positions itself as an evangelist for natural wines, but is equally valued for the quality of its informal French cooking and its buzzy atmosphere.
- 5 William IV Street, WC2N 4DW
We're big fans of this small wine bar and shop, and we're not alone. The no-bookings policy in the evening means it's first come, first served, and such is Vinoteca's reputation for interesting wine and food at very acceptable prices, there's always a queue.
- 7 St John Street, EC1M 4AA

Film tells how Annie, 100, befriended German POW
Published at 16:33, Monday, 31 December 2012
WHEN Annie Day talks, you cannot help but listen.
There is a twinkle in her eye and a timbre in her voice that makes the 100-year-old nothing short of mesmerising.
And all that charisma radiated from the screen during an eight-minute film that premiered in Barrow last month.
The German Who Came To Tea has Mrs Day recounting the remarkable connection she forged with a German prisoner of war.
Produced and directed by Kerry Kolbe, the director of Signal Films and Media, it received rapturous applause at its first public airing.
The film begins with Mrs Day, who now resides at the Risedale retirement home, asking the question: "Have you ever thought what a wonderful thing your memory is?"
From there she transports the viewer back to Barrow post Second World War when German prisoners were housed at the Earnse Bay camp.
The detainees were increasingly allowed to mix with the locals and one afternoon Mrs Day's young son Brian asked if they could host two Germans for Christmas dinner that year.
"One was very, very tall and blonde – a typical German," Mrs Day, who was in her 30s at the time, said. "But the other, Philipp Hammermann, was small."
The Day family took an immediate shine to Philipp and after dinner they draped a plain coat over his uniform and took him to the cinema – the first of many such visits.
"It was a regular thing and when we'd come out we'd go to the chippy. And he did like fish and chips."
A long way from home in a foreign land, Philipp asked Mrs Day to write to his mother in Germany to assure her he was well.
"You see, he'd written and told her he was alright, but she thought he was lying," she said. "His poor mother, what if I'd not known where my son was for all that time?"
Philipp remained a part of the Days' lives until he was relocated from Earnse Bay to a POW camp in the United States when they lost contact.
Thirty-five years passed without a word from Philipp until one day – in the early 1980s – her doorbell rang.
"We were just watching telly one night and the bell rang and I opened the door and just looked – and I looked again – and said 'It's Philipp!' and I knew him, I just knew him," she said.
"He went to the house where we used to live and the people knew where we lived, which was lucky."
Mrs Day, whose husband passed away in 1981, reciprocated the visit and went to Germany to see Philipp and tour his homeland.
"It was a funny thing," she said. "He took me to Cologne to get my plane and when I had to leave him to go on the plane, he got hold of me and he kissed me like a sweetheart.
"And I knew that that boy at that time had fallen in love with me. I just sensed it. Whether it was right I don't know, but I had that feeling."
It was the last time the two would ever see each other, with a heart condition claiming Philipp's life not long after.
Miss Kolbe, 34, knew Mrs Day was a special person with a special story to tell the first time she met her.
"What I really like is that you can see on Annie's face that she's reliving all the emotions," she said.
"I think older people often get pushed into the shadows and people think they haven't got anything interesting to say, but Annie's the opposite.
"She holds court and gets everybody's attention because she's so interesting and has such a great sense of humour."
Miss Kolbe intends to enter The German Who Came To Tea in film festivals.

Among his team-mates in Moscow will be Victor Obinna, who spent last term on loan at West Ham from Inter Milan.
The Hammers, who suffered relegation from the Premier League last season, claimed that the former Fiorentina, Nancy and PSV man was keen to move on.
A statement on the club's official website read: "West Ham United can confirm that Manuel da Costa has joined Russian Premier League club FC Lokomotiv Moscow.
"The club would like to than Manuel for his efforts and wish him all the best in the future."

Michael Hill appoints Icebreaker chair Rob Fyfe to board
"Can anyone convince him to stand for Mayor of Auckland should the current one stand down? He would be outstanding"Featured comment
Michael Hill International [NZX: MHI], the jewellery chain named for its founder, has appointed Icebreaker executive chairman and former Air New Zealand boss Rob Fyfe as a new director.
The appointment takes the retailer's board to eight directors, of which four, including Fyfe, are independent, the company said in a statement. Fyfe was chief executive of the national carrier between 2005 and 2012, and last year said he was on the hunt for a full-time management position in New Zealand.
In October, Michael Hill said it lifted first-quarter sales 8.7 percent with growth in Australia and Canada after a weak end to the 2013 financial year in what's been weak retail environment for several years.
The shares were unchanged at $1.39 in trading on Friday, having gained 13 percent in 2013. The stock is rated an average 'buy' based on two analyst recommendations compiled by Reuters with a median target price of $1.53.
Comments and questions5
Can anyone convince him to stand for Mayor of Auckland should the current one stand down? He would be outstanding.
Him being Rob Fyfe or Michael Hill?
I think highly of Fyfe as a businessman but I believe the management process of business and politics are so different as to have almost nothing in common.
What the business world would call efficiency, in politics is called corruption.
(ie skipping an slow but open tender process to use an 'known' provider, eg John Key and the sky city convention centre.)
Politics is about negotiation and compromise, things that are not common or encouraged in private industry.
This is not a slight against industry, just an acknowledgement that it's a very different world with a different set of motives to politics.
It would indeed be interesting if Rob stood for public office. he certainly hasnt had the level of scrutiny that poor old Len has had. I doubt Rob would ever enter the fray given the public reaction to Len's exploits in the Ngati Whatua room......

The bustling little Long Island town of Syosset has had many facelifts over the years. Original structures have been remodeled and replaced, leaving just a shadow of the good old days of horse-drawn carriages and general stores.
But if you look closely, sometimes you can see old Syosset hidden among the new constructions. We'll be bringing you back to the old Syosset with the help of Syosset Scrapbook and helpful photo donors.
Last time, Patch reader correctly identified the Reader recalled, "Biggest memory was seeing Animal House and then going down Jericho Tpk for dessert at Syosset House Diner."
Congrats to theresa.lally and thanks for all the memories readers shared!
This week's assignment is to tell us who these young Syosset students are. They formed a band and played for several years before breaking up in 1961.
Can you name this Syosset band? Give us your best historic guesses in the comments below!

Claw Money's Spring/Summer collection has landed at Karmaloop and it has us fiending for watermelon slush and that Banana Boat tanning oil smell. Go figure, it is inspired by vintage surf after all. Made from 100% Supima cotton, these overdyed, striped, and tie dye tees are made to keep you cool (and looking cool) when the mercury rises. Fun pop graphics abound, featuring kitschy phrases like Welcome to the Island and Flamingo Love.
It's been the topic of discussion everywhere for awhile know, and I know everyone is sick of hearing it…but geeeez! This winter was a nightmare. Not sure what bad karma we sent out to deserve it (oh wait I know, probably tons of CO2 emissions and oil spills), but I sure hope the punishment ends soon. I'm an avid recycler and I don't drive a car, so pretty please Mother Nature, I'm looking out for ya…send me blue skies, BBQs, and cutoff shorts weather?!?
Take a peek through the lookbook and transport yourself to a happy place, shot and edited by Claw herself in a playfully goofy fashion.

Flying with God ... In Spite of Shaky Landings
- Monday, April 18, 2005
Isn't it funny how the personality traits that first attracted us to our mates drive us crazy later? Take my husband Jim, for instance. He has always approached adventure with reckless abandon. The fact that he enjoyed rappelling down steep mountains Australian style (upside down) and making 230 foot bungee jumps sent shivers of excitement and intrigue through my entire body, making him the most irresistible man I had ever met. So I married him.
Thirteen years and two kids later, I was frying pork chops when Jim waltzed into the kitchen with that mischievous boy-have-I-got-an-idea-now look on his face. The wild zeal in his eyes told me I needed to brace myself for what was coming next.
"I want to fly airplanes," he grinned. I wanted to cover my ears and chant, "I'm not going to listen to you. I'm not going to listen to you." But instead, I decided to be mature about it.
"Have you lost your mind? Do you think I'm going to offer my blessing and seal my fate as a widow at the age of 34? If you do this, I'm never speaking to you again!" (Stomp, stomp, stomp, slam).
Two days and many prayers later, I boldly proclaimed (with one hand on my pajamaed hip and the other waving my toothbrush in the air), "Okay, if you want to do this it's fine with me. But let's get one thing clear, buddy. Neither I nor any of your offspring will ever get in that airplane with you!"
Three months later, I was climbing into the back of the airplane. Jim kissed my cheek and promised, "You're gonna love it." My excessive fear of heights, however, was screaming otherwise. To make matters worse, Jim's flight instructor announced, "Jim, today we're going to work on your shaky landings."
I leaned forward and lightly tapped the instructor's shoulder. "Excuse me, what did you say? For a second there I thought you said we were going to work on Jim's shaky landings."
The instructor chuckled at my anxiety as Jim began speaking some sort of numeric jargon into the microphone. "Auburn traffic Skyhawk eight-niner-eight-four-seven departing runway three-six." But all I heard was, "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! We're all going to die!"
With eyes tightly shut and sweat pouring from my otherwise calm demeanor, I decided the seat belt was not all it's cracked up to be. I assumed crash position. I braced myself by pressing my feet against the back of the front seats and my palms flat on the ceiling of the plane (for when we rolled, of course). I began confessing all of my sins as I begged for God's mercy.
I felt the plane lift off the runway. Nothing happened. Ten minutes later, I forced open one eye to see if I had arrived at the pearly gates. Nope, it wasn't the pearly gates but it was something that took my breath away: a thrilling and fantastic view of God's creation.

It all makes sense now why there were egg rolls served at Jami Attenberg's book parties for The Middlesteins. The book should come with a special sticker warning that food cravings lie ahead. I suppose the fun, adorable cover art with milkshakes, burgers and fries kind of counts. As you might suspect, The Middlesteins is a book that deals with food issues, specifically the way the Middlestein family contracts and reacts when the obese matriarch's health has become so poor it is clear she is slowly killing herself. Edie Middlestein has always loved food, to the extreme. Now in her sixties her children, husband and grandchildren are mortified that not even multiple health related surgeries have inspired her to take better care of herself. Edie is literally eating herself into the grave.
This was one of those books where I wanted to cup the desires and wishes of each of the characters in the palm of my hand for safekeeping because they felt so fragile. What really struck me about The Middlesteins is that even with a topic as hopeless and dark as killing oneself through food there are moments of clarity and promise for the characters—the reader has the chance to peek through the curtains at brighter moments ahead.
I think we can all relate to Edie, who found the thing she loved most and couldn't stop herself from seeking it out at every opportunity. She overate, but she did it with gusto. Isn't still having an appetite for gusto the point of living anyway? The fallout from using food as a void filler resulted in a scramble within the Middlestein family to choose sides and develop action items, all out of a fierce love for Edie. My favorite quote from the book was through the eyes of Edie's lifelong friends: "Everyone agreed that Edie was a tough woman to love, though she was worth loving."
This book has my wholehearted recommendation, please go out and buy it so we can talk about it together, stat. Zero calories and saccharine free.

Does AIG Have Any Fight Left?
Ken is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
American International Group (NYSE: AIG), the insurance giant, undoubtedly has had a wild ride over the past six years, after the U.S. government made a $182.5 billion bailout loan in exchange for 80% of AIG's near worthless stock. Since 2009, new CEO Robert Benmosche has been trimming fat to focus on AIG's core businesses: Property & Casualty and Life & Retirement Insurance. Hedge funds have been buying in on AIG for months, posting 20%-30% gains already this year. But is there still more room to run for this leaner, meaner insurer?
How Insurance Works
Insurance companies collect revenues in two main ways: insurance premiums and investment income. The insurance premiums are held as liabilities in their books, to pay against future claims policyholders may need to take out. In the meantime, however, these premiums get put to work as investments in the market, typically in a blend of fixed-income instruments.
As long as the amount of claims is less than the amount of premiums taken in and the money made off those premiums from investing, insurers will be bringing in cash -- and they usually do.
Looking Abroad
Based on net premiums written (commonly referred to as float), in 2011 AIG Property Casualty was the largest U.S. commercial insurer in the U.S. and Canada, the largest U.S.-based property casualty insurer in Europe, and the largest foreign property casualty insurer in Japan and China. AIG Property Casualty was first to market in many developing nations, and it's well-positioned to enhance its businesses in countries such as China, India and Brazil.
In 2012, the crown for the largest U.S. commercial insurer moved to Metlife (NYSE: MET), followed still closely by AIG. However, as Fairholme Capital outlined, AIG has price-leadership for its product, giving it a clear competitive advantage as the two companies fight over new customers in these emerging markets.
AIG is trading at a price-to-book ratio of 0.67, a significant discount to what it's actually worth, especially when compared to the insurance industry average P/B of 1.5. AIG also has a very effective business, with an operating margin of 10.39%. Metlife and Prudential Financial (NYSE: PRU) have operating margins of 8.59% and 2.09%, respectively.
The Bad News
If AIG is so great, why is it still cheap? For one thing, AIG has not issued a dividend since the government takeover, compared with an industry average 1.5% yield. AIG is also the most hated company in the U.S., according to Harris Interactive's 14th Annual Reputation Quotient Survey. In addition, a major insurance rating agency, A.M. Best, which measures insurance companies' ability to pay claims, has given AIG a bbb rating -- the equivalent of a C in grade school.
However, the most substantial drawback has been the rock-bottom interest rates that the Fed has been enforcing, which are stunting the earnings growth of the fixed-income instruments in AIG's portfolio.
The Good News
Fortunately, all these problems are temporary! A dividend is already in the works to be reinstated within the next year or so.
As for AIG's reputation, people and the media always seem to have a tendency to move on and forget the past or forgive. AIG paid back all they owed to the government and then some, so people have little reason to be mad at it anymore.
AIG's financials have also been showing signs of strengthening, and will undoubtedly receive a higher ranking by A.M. Best in the coming years. Most importantly in Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's latest press conference, it was made pretty clear that the Fed's stimulus will end in mid-2014, bringing interest rates back up, and bringing profitability back to all insurance companies' investment portfolios.
One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure
AIG had a stranglehold on in the insurance arena before its big disgrace. Since then, it's had to sell off many of its businesses at discounted prices -- unfortunate for them, but good for their purchasers.
Metlife has taken advantage of this great opportunity. In 2010, it completed a purchase of American Life Insurance Company (Alico) from AIG, vastly expanding Metlife's insurance and employee benefits business and giving the company a much larger worldwide exposure. Alico was a big part of AIG's growth segment and has great potential for profits in the future.
Metlife also has a relatively low price/book of 0.77, putting it at a fairly attractive price. It is also noteworthy that Metlife's business is more concentrated in life insurance, the risk of which is much easier to deduce, making it a much safer business whose net premiums will almost always be positive.
Prudential Financial, a focused life insurer with an undervalued stock at a price/book of 0.84, has also been hurting from the poor yields sustained by the Fed. While the Fed has been holding these rates, Prudential has been strengthening its balance sheet and improving its liquidity, so that it will be ready to spring when the Fed eases up. Despite this bad economic environment for insurers, Prudential has been managing to still find room to grow, with an 11.11% sales increase last year.
The Bottom Line
AIG might still be a little black-and-blue from its fall, but the company has toughened up, reinvested, and refocused back on its main businesses. It's still positioned as a world market leader in the lucrative insurance business with much room to grow.
With Bernanke's promise to stop the Fed's stimulus plan in mid-2014, interest rates will be reverting back to profitable levels for fixed-income instruments, bringing back higher profitability to the insurance industry, and in turn moving these stocks more toward book value. AIG seems to have the greatest margin of safety among these three insurers, with the lowest price/book, and stronger operations giving it the most room to run. Consider jumping in on these great value plays while you still can.
