City Council's Legislative Subcommittee recommends that the City adopt the following as positions for its 2014 Legislative Package:
1. State Budget and Local Revenues. The Governor and General Assembly should not further restrict local revenue authority or sources, such as BPOL, without providing alternative revenue authority and sustainable revenue sources; should not impose unfunded mandates on local governments; and should not shift state funding responsibilities onto local governments. The City asks its delegation to strongly support this position.
2. Transit Service Delivery Advisory Committee (TSDAC). Senate Joint Resolution 297 of the 2011 Session directed the Department of Rail and Public Transit (DRPT) to look into several issues relating to transit funding; DRPT made a report prior to the 2012 Session which focused on one issue only—whether there should be a new, performance-based system for allocating DRPT funds (State transit funds have traditionally been distributed using a formula that is based on the amount of funds spent by the locality on transit). The DRPT proposal had a number of drawbacks (e.g., it would have been impossible to accurately predict the amount of future state aid that would be available to local transit agencies; the integrity of data that would be the basis of funding decisions was questionable).
Although there was support in the 2013 Session for a formula that rewards the efficient delivery of services, there was also agreement that the DRPT proposed formula and its accompanying methodology was problematic. As a result, the General Assembly created a Transit Service Delivery Advisory Committee (TSDAC), made up of representatives of local government, transit providers, and DRPT. It directed TSDAC to develop a funding formula that rewards efficiency; the formula was to be used only for any State money over and above that which has traditionally been provided to local transit providers (approximately $160 million annually)—in other words, this formula will be used only to distribute transit funds that result from the major transportation funding legislation (HB 2313) passed in the 2013 Session.
TSDAC has been meeting regularly since April, and has developed funding formula proposals (the Commonwealth Transportation Board has final authority over the formula) that are much more defensible than those developed last year. They do have shortcomings (e.g., they have been unable to develop a method of counting Metrorail ridership in a way that accurately allocates Northern Virginia transit ridership) that TSDAC hopes to address in the coming year. Even with these shortcomings, however, they will provide more new transit funding to the City than either the current distribution formula or the 2013 DRPT proposal would.
The City asks its General Assembly delegation to ensure that any TSDAC funding formula which is considered, and ultimately approved by the 2014 General Assembly, treats the City and Northern Virginia fairly. Furthermore, if there is insufficient data (e.g., WMATA ridership) to finalize any formula decisions, TSDAC should be directed to continue to address these shortcomings in 2014.
3. Transportation Funding. The City supported the major transportation funding legislation of 2013 (HB 2313). It addressed a long-standing City legislative position—the need for new State revenue for transit and other transportation. The Alexandria Transportation Commission recommends that the City carefully monitor any transportation funding legislation that is considered by the 2014 Session, and oppose any proposals that will lessen funds coming to Alexandria, or result in the City not receiving its fair share of any transportation revenues.
4. Cost of competing. Costs of competing funds are awarded to Northern Virginia school systems in recognition of the fact that our schools must pay higher salaries than schools in other parts of the State. The State has stopped providing full funding to school support positions. Providing insufficient State cost of competing funds simply shifts the burden to Alexandria and other Northern Virginia counties and cities. Council's Legislative Subcommittee, as well as other Northern Virginia localities, recommends that the General Assembly support full funding for the cost of competing in the upcoming biennial budget.
1. Revisions to the City Charter. Councilman Wilson has asked that two revisions be requested for the City Charter:
a. The first of these would eliminate a provision that prohibits the City Attorney from being the "legal advisor" to the School Board. Recent discussions have taken place between the School Board members and City Council members—these discussions included the City Attorney—with respect to the City Attorney's office providing legal counsel to the School Board (the School Board currently contracts for legal assistance). While no final decision has been made, it would be helpful to amend the City Charter to remove this provision so that such a change can be made if agreed to by the School Board and City Council.
b. The second proposed change would simply "clean up" the Charter provisions that refer to May Council and School Board elections. Three years ago, the City chose to move these elections to November, as allowed under State general law. References to May elections throughout the Charter will be changed to November.
2. Pedestrian Safety. Pedestrians, especially in densely populated communities, need assurance that when they use crosswalks to get across the street, oncoming drivers will not hit them. Unfortunately, Virginia law does not provide that assurance. Drivers are required to yield, but not necessarily stop, for pedestrians in crosswalks. This often leaves a pedestrian guessing whether the oncoming traffic actually will stop so that the pedestrian can safely cross where he has right-of-way (in the crosswalk). For some time now, the City, together with other Northern Virginia localities and others throughout Virginia, has been seeking a change in state law to require drivers to stop (not just yield) for pedestrians in crosswalks. Councilman Wilson, and the City's Transportation Commission, request the City delegation to support such legislation if offered in the 2014 Session.
3. CSO Funding. Alexandria was recently issued a new discharge permit by the State Water Control Board. Included in the permit is a requirement that the City develop and implement a long-term plan to minimize the discharge of raw sewage from combined sewer pipes (which carry both storm water and sewage) when it rains. Preparing this plan will take several years, but after it is complete, it must be implemented. The cost could reach as much as $200-300 million over a period of approximately 20 years. When Richmond and Lynchburg faced similar costs to address CSO issues in the 1980's (they are the only Virginia localities that have been required to make massive sewer line upgrades to address CSO problems), the General Assembly agreed to provide significant funding to assist these cities. Councilman Wilson would like the City to explore the possibility of State assistance for Alexandria, and recommends that we begin seeking State assistance for this from the Governor and General Assembly. The Environmental Policy Commission supports this recommendation, and also asks that the City seek additional State funding for other water quality needs.
4. ABC Laws and Wine Tastings. An Alexandria restaurant owner has hosted weekly wine tastings in her restaurant for some years now. The restaurant typically partners with one of its wine wholesalers, who will educate those tasting the wines about them, and also pour the wines that are being tasted. The restaurant owner believes this system is very valuable for all those involved, since the wholesaler knows more about the wine than the restaurant employees, and restaurant employees are not tied up with the tastings. Recently, the restaurant's wine distributors were notified by the State's Alcoholic Beverage Control agency that they are not allowed to participate in tasting events at local restaurants or combination retail/restaurant businesses. Not surprisingly, the wholesalers will no longer participate as partners in these tastings. As a result, the restaurant has stopped its weekly tastings, and will lose revenue from the lost wine sales (as well as other items bought by tasting customers).
Councilman Wilson has asked that the City's legislative delegation introduce legislation to allow participation by wholesalers in such tastings in the future.
5. Opportunity Educational Institution. Legislation passed by the 2013 General Assembly (and opposed by the City) creates a State school district, the Opportunity Educational Institution (OEI), to take over schools whose students perform poorly on required State standardized tests. The OEI is scheduled to start operating these schools by the beginning of the 2014-15 school year. One of the schools that are scheduled to be run by OEI is Jefferson-Houston. The legislation creating OEI includes no new money or specific plans to improve these problem schools. The City and ACPS do not believe that the OEI legislation demonstrates any likelihood that the OEI can improve Jefferson-Houston, and they want control over all Alexandria schools left to the Alexandria School Board. The City of Norfolk has now filed suit on OEI, questioning its constitutionality. Councilman Wilson has recommended that the City ask its delegation to introduce legislation to eliminate the Opportunity Educational Institution (OEI), or to significantly modify its enabling legislation so that there is considerably greater local input and control over any Alexandria schools placed in OEI.
6. Condo Conversions. In 2007, with the City's strong support, the General Assembly enacted legislation to allow a disabled or elderly tenant to assign purchase rights to his unit to a government agency, housing authority, or nonprofit housing corporation in the case of a condominium conversion. The agency, authority, or nonprofit corporation then offers the tenant a lease of the unit at an affordable rent. The number of units that can be acquired this way cannot exceed five percent of the total number of units (or one unit, if five percent equals less than a full unit), or impede the condominium conversion process.
Councilman Wilson has asked that the City support legislation extending the ability to assign purchase rights to any tenant; if an incremental step is needed that is not as broad, he suggests allowing families with minor children living at home to assign their purchase rights.
7. Flood Insurance. Councilman Wilson has asked that the Legislative Subcommittee discuss with the members of the delegation ways that the State might partner with localities to assist them in lowering their rating class in the Community Rating System for FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program. Lowering the class provides residents with additional discounts in this program.
Mr. Wilson asked that the delegation introduce a budget amendment to create a grant program to match local funding for efforts designed to lower rating classes. Staff is unable at this time to determine whether the City could likely amass enough additional points to improve its rating class.
8. Virginia Preschool Initiative (VPI). The Virginia Preschool Initiative is a State-sponsored program that provides State funding to be matched with local funding to pay for preschool for at-risk 4-year-olds. The current formula used to determine a locality's funding is based in part on the percentage of a locality's children that qualify for a free lunch through the USDA lunch program. For a child to be eligible for a free lunch, the child's family income must be at or below 130 percent of the federal poverty guidelines (this is slightly more than $30,000 annually for a family of four).
The Department of Community and Human Services recommends that the City seek to have the eligibility level raised to 185 of poverty (slightly more than $43,000 annually), which would cover more low-income families and provide preschool opportunities to more children. The Department also recommends that Virginia use more accurate numbers to project the number of preschool-aged children within a locality (projections are now based on free lunch eligibility forms submitted by all K-12 students, but older students often do not return forms to the school to indicate whether they are eligible for free or reduced lunches; if State projections were based on the number of free lunch eligible kindergarten students only, the State projections of the number of VPI-eligible 4-year olds in a locality would be more accurate).
9. Community Net Metering (Environmental Policy Committee). House Bill 1695, as approved in the 2013 Session, allows agricultural customers to participate in community net metering programs. These programs allow electric customers to produce energy (using, for instance, solar power or windmills) and sell any excess back to their electric provider at a rate set by the State Corporation Commission. The Environmental Policy Commission recommends that legislation be introduced in 2014 to extend this authority beyond the agricultural sector to residential customers such as condominium or homeowner associations. If such association members were able to take advantage of net metering, unit owners who produce electricity could produce renewable energy from a common system and sell what they cannot use to their electricity provider (e.g., Dominion Virginia). This would not only save money for the homeowner—it would also reduce pollution that results from electricity produced by conventional technology (such as coal-fired power plants).
1. Workers' Compensation Medical Costs in Virginia. Over the last decade, medical costs under Virginia's Workers' Compensation system have been substantially higher and growing much faster than workers' compensation medical costs in most other states, including all of our neighboring jurisdictions. A recent study (done by the Workers' Compensation Research Institute) showed that Virginia medical payments per claim were 25 percent higher than the median cost in 16 other states. The higher prices charged by providers were the main reason for the higher medical payments per claim. Costs per claim in Virginia grew 8 percent per year from 2005 to 2010.
Prices charged for non-hospital services in Virginia were 22 percent higher than was typical in the 16-state study group. For hospital outpatient services, the average payment per service was 27 percent higher than the median study state. Medical costs alone accounted for 72 percent of the growth in the Virginia cost per claim during the years 2004 to 2010. The average medical cost per workers' compensation claim in Virginia was $17,100 in 1996; by 2010 that number had jumped to $44,500. This number has only gone down one time in the last 15 years.
Forty-four states have adopted fee schedules to contain the rapid increase in the cost of providing treatment to workers' compensation claimants, and 32 of them use Medicare-based fee schedules. All states that border Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia, use such a fee schedule. The Virginia Municipal League, together with many other public and private entities represented by the Virginia Self-Insurers Association on Workers' Comp issues, will seek approval of legislation in 2014 that will require Virginia to adopt Medicare-based fee schedules for setting medical provider fees in workers' compensation cases. The City's Finance Department recommends that the City support this legislation.
2. WMATA Fare Enforcement Inspectors. Early next year, a Bus Rapid Transit Route will begin operation in Alexandria. The following year, this route will extend into Arlington. Once the Arlington portion is open, riders will pay their fare before they board the bus. Since there will be no way for the bus operator to know if a rider has paid, WMATA (which will operate the service) plans to employ fare inspectors who would be authorized to issue citations or tickets to anyone who cannot demonstrate that he has paid his fare. WMATA does not believe that it has the authority for fare inspectors to do this in Virginia, so it plans to pursue a Virginia Code provision giving it such authority. WMATA has asked that the City (and Arlington) support this legislation.
3. Affordable Care Act & Medicaid Expansion (Public Health Commission/Economic Opportunities Commission). Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010, each state has the option of expanding coverage under its Medicaid program to include all individuals with incomes up to and including 133 percent of the federal poverty index (the current federal poverty index for an individual is about $11,000 a year; it is approximately $19,000 for a family of three). This expanded coverage will be paid for entirely by the federal government for the first three years of the program; after that, the federal government will cover 90 percent of the cost, with the state responsible for the remainder.
The City's Public Health Advisory Commission and Economic Opportunities Commission recommend that the City and its legislative delegation support this option for three reasons:
4. Prohibit Housing Discrimination Based on the Source of Income (Economic Opportunities Commission). In 1968 the federal government passed the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits housing discrimination based on factors such as race, color, religion, national origin, gender, elderliness, or familial status. Virginia enacted similar legislation in 1972.
In recent years, a number of states have added source of income to the list of discriminatory factors which are prohibited under fair housing laws. Source of income is generally defined as any lawful source of income paid directly or indirectly to a renter or purchaser of housing, including wage, pensions, alimony, child support, or government assistance. States have made this change in respect especially to renters, who say that landlords will sometimes not rent to them because a portion of their income is from government assistance, such as Section 8; or because landlords set higher security deposits or minimum incomes for them. The Economic Opportunities Commission has asked the City to support such a bill if it is introduced in 2014.
5. Constitutional and Statutory Provisions Prohibiting Same Sex Marriages (Human Rights Commission). In 2006, the Virginia Constitution was amended to prohibit marriage other than "between one man and one woman." This amendment also prohibits any "legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance, or effects of marriage." A similar prohibition was inserted into the Virginia Code in 2004. That provision (§ 20-45.3) prohibits civil unions, partnership contracts or other similar arrangements between persons of the same sex. The Human Rights Commission recommends that the City support any legislation to repeal either the constitutional provision or the Affirmation of Marriage Act.
6. Provide Funding Statewide for Peer Model Recovery Support Services (CSB). For the last two years, the State has funded a Peer Model Recovery program for adults with Substance Abuse issues in Northern Virginia. This program has been very successful in promoting sustained recovery and self-sufficiency among individuals in the region who have alcohol and other substance use disorders. A Peer Recovery Support Specialist provides peer addiction recovery support services before, during, and after a substance abuser's participation in a formal treatment system. Funding for the program runs out at the end of the biennium (June 30, 2014). The Alexandria CSB and other Northern Virginia CSBs are seeking $130,000 in State funding for each year of the coming biennium to continue this program.
7. Expand Housing Options for Persons with Serious Mental Illness (CSB). There is very limited permanent supportive housing available for people with Serious Mental Illness (SMI). Services to support people with SMI, including psychiatry, medication, case management, mental health supports, and counseling, are also very limited. The lack of these services further impact the ability of individuals to keep housing once they have acquired it. Consequently, many of these individuals become homeless, end up in hospital emergency rooms, and often become incarcerated or hospitalized in a psychiatric facility.
Alexandria's CSB, together with the other CSBs in Northern Virginia, would like $3.2 million in biennial funding for a pilot program to provide both housing and services in a manner similar to that which exists in the Discharge Assistance Program (this Program provides a package of services for people leaving state facilities). The funding would pay for housing and support services, including case management, for approximately 140 individuals at the start of the program, and possibly more once it has been fully implemented. These individuals would then be able to avoid more expensive and less appropriate hospitalization and incarceration. If the program is successful, permanent State funding would be requested in the next biennium.
8. Expand Comprehensive Services for Youths with Serious Emotional Disturbances and their Families, Including Intensive In-Home Services (CSB). There is a need for the expansion of comprehensive services for youths with serious emotional disturbances who do not require placement in a residential or inpatient (e.g., hospital) setting. A comprehensive strategic plan needs to be developed that will identify, and lead to the implementation of, a plan for collaborative services across agencies within the community. Such a plan must fully involve the youth's family, and will include intensive family- and community-based programs. These programs will address the complex behavioral, psychiatric and substance use problems of the youth. Participants, in addition to the youth and their families, will be schools, teachers, and friends. In-home respite care is a critical part of this program. Funds are needed for a regional pilot ($1.1 million) that will build on existing CSB programs within the Northern Virginia region. The program's success will be judged on the basis of the number of youths kept in their homes and schools, and out of the criminal justice system. Other measures of success will be improvements in family relations, a decrease in adolescent psychiatric symptoms, and a decrease in adolescent drug and alcohol use.
9. Protect Employees of All Firms with Five or More Employees from Age Discrimination (Human Rights Commission). Virginia anti-discrimination statutes currently protect only employees of employers with 5 to 14 employees from being wrongfully terminated (on the basis of race, religion, etc.). Federal law generally applies to employers with 15 or more employees. Federal law prohibiting age discrimination, however, applies only to employers with 20 or more employees. The Human Rights Commission recommends fixing this discrepancy by amending the Virginia Human Rights Act so that it prohibits the various types of employment discrimination (hiring, termination, age, and terms and conditions of employment) for any employer with five or more employees, unless the employer is subject to federal jurisdiction. This will allow age discrimination to be treated the same as other forms of discrimination.
10. Early Voting (Human Rights Commission). The Human Rights Commission has asked that the City support legislation to allow unrestricted early voting (i.e., early voting for any reason).
11. Restoration of Voting Rights for Felons (Human Rights Commission). Under Virginia law, any person convicted of a felony forfeits certain civil rights for life, including the right to vote. The Virginia Constitution reserves to the Governor the power to restore these rights. Although the current Governor and his two most recent predecessors have used a streamlined process instituted by executive order, this process relies totally on the good will of each individual governor. Virginia's process for restoring rights has traditionally been one of the most restrictive in the nation. The Human Rights Commission recommends that the General Assembly institutionalize a streamlined process (similar to that being used by the McDonnell administration) for the restoration of voting rights to ex-felons by statute, or begin the process for a Constitutional amendment that automatically restores voting rights upon completion of a felon's sentence.
12. Caps on Interest Paid on Payday and Auto Title Loans (Economic Opportunities Commission). Virginia allows both payday loans—short-term loans pledged against a future paycheck or government benefit check—and auto title loans, which are secured by a car's title. Fifteen states (including neighbors Maryland, North Carolina, and West Virginia) and the District of Columbia currently ban high-cost, short-term loans by setting a maximum annual interest rate of 36 percent including fees. Under the federal Military Lending Act, military service members and their families are also protected from these expensive and predatory loans. A 2009 Virginia law restricted payday loans to 36 percent annual interest but permitted two additional fees that increase the actual interest rate above this level. In 2012, according to the State Corporation Commission, the average annual interest rate for car title loans was 224 percent; for payday loans it was 305 percent.
The Economic Opportunities Commission has asked the City and its legislative delegation to support legislation to cap the interest rate on short-term loans at 36 percent annual interest inclusive of all fees.
13. Renewable Portfolio Standard (Environmental Policy Committee). State law sets voluntary goals for investor-owned electric utilities to follow in providing a certain amount of their power from renewable energy sources; if they follow these goals, they are given certain financial rewards. This power does not have to be produced in Virginia or by Virginia businesses—it can be purchased from out-of-state entities. The Environmental Policy Committee has recommended that the City support legislation that would require all "Renewable Portfolio Standard" energy to come from Virginia-based projects, beginning in 2015. Existing projects and purchases of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) that have been used to meet the current REC standard would remain approved and count moving forward. The Commission notes that this would provide cleaner air in Virginia and give a boost to the State's renewable energy industry.
14. Energy Conservation (Environmental Policy Committee). Prior to 2012, Virginia was one of the few states that used a formula that evaluates potential energy saving and conservation projects based on how they impact energy users who do not participate in the conservation program. This approach made it much harder for a public utility to justify the return on investment for an energy conservation project. Legislation passed in 2012 with the City's support (SB 493) redefined the standards to be used by the State Corporation so that it evaluates conservation projects based on the total energy savings and return on investment they create for the entire state. The statute now specifies four tests that can be used to demonstrate that the value of the benefits exceeds the value of the costs. A project cannot be rejected by regulators (the State Corporation Commission, or SCC) just because it fails one test. Observers believe that the SCC is misinterpreting the 2012 legislation, and relying too heavily on only one of the four tests.
The Environmental Policy Commission believes that legislation will be introduced in 2014 to:
The Environmental Policy Committee recommends that the City support such legislation.
15. National Criminal Background Checks for Those Who Provide Child Day Care (Children, Youth and Families Collaborative Commission). The Code of Virginia (§19.2-392.02) allows child care businesses to request from the State Police a national criminal background check for any of its employees. For the State Police to perform this check, the employee must provide fingerprints. Child day care providers say that the results of the background checks are often not known for six weeks or more, and they cannot let the employee interact with children while they are awaiting the results. The Children, Youth and Families Collaborative Commission asks that the City support legislation (which is expected to be introduced) to speed up this process.
16. Child Day Care Subsidies (Children, Youth and Families Collaborative Commission). Low-income families with young children are eligible for State financial assistance to provide day care for their children. The State conducts a market survey of the fees charged by child care providers, and is supposed to adjust its rates to reflect the findings of the market survey. Unfortunately, the State often fails to adjust its rates to correspond to what the market charges. The most recent increase for rates for infants and toddlers in child day care was in 2010; the payment rate for preschoolers and school age children was raised more recently—in January 2013.
Even with these increases, the State subsidies are far below what the market demands. The federal government considers the market rate to be 75 percent of what the average person pays for unsubsidized child day care. The Virginia payment rates are closer to 30 percent of the cost of unsubsidized child day care. If insufficient funds are provided to parents, they may not have access to good child day care, resulting in the inability to become—and stay--employed. The Children, Youth and Families Collaborative Commission recommends that the City and its delegation seek a meaningful increase in State funds provided for child day care, so that the State can adopt more realistic payment rate.
17. Northern Virginia Aging Network (NVAN) Platform (Commission on Aging). The Commission on Aging asks that the City support the following items in the legislative platform of the Northern Virginia Aging Network:
18. State Funding for the ICPRB (Environmental Policy Committee). The Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin (ICPRB) provides data and modeling that is critical to Northern Virginia and metropolitan Washington regional water supply planning. Legislation that would have terminated Virginia's membership in the ICPRB was considered, but not agreed to, in the 2012 General Assembly Session. State funding to the organization, however, was discontinued. While the ICPRB has allowed Virginia to continue to participate in its work, and has continued to include Virginia localities in any data-gathering and modeling it undertakes, it cannot continue to do this indefinitely without financial support from the Commonwealth. The City's Environmental Policy Committee recommends that the City support budget amendments to restore State funding for the ICPRB.
19. Paper and Plastic Bag Fee. Senator Adam Ebbin introduced legislation in the 2013 Session that would have imposed a fee of five cents per bag on paper and plastic bags used by grocery stores, convenience stores, and pharmacies. The bill would have exempted from the fee any reusable plastic bags, as well as bags used for ice cream, meat, fish, poultry, leftover restaurant food, newspapers, dry cleaning, alcoholic beverages, and prescription drugs. Retailers would have been allowed to retain a portion of the fees they collected. The remainder of the revenues raised by the fee would have been deposited in the Virginia Water Quality Improvement Fund, which makes grants to public entities for water quality improvement projects. Although the 2013 legislation was defeated, Senator Ebbin intends to introduce similar legislation in 2014. He believes he may increase the bill's chance for passage—at least for implementation in Northern Virginia--if he can state that all localities in the region support its passage. Senator Ebbin has asked that the City support this legislation.
1. Obstacles to voting (Human Rights Commission). The Human Rights Commission recommends that the City oppose any legislation that would create additional obstacles or barriers to voting.
2. Immigration/Law Enforcement (Human Rights Commission). The Human Rights Commission asks the City to continue to oppose legislation that would require local law enforcement officials to enforce federal immigration laws.
3. Immigration/Higher Education (Human Rights Commission). The Human Rights Commission asks the City to continue its opposition to legislation that restricts access to higher education by undocumented persons, unless it includes safeguards such as those proposed by Governor Warner in 2003 (i.e., residency in Virginia during high school and at least 5 years prior to graduation; graduation from a Virginia high school; ongoing pursuit of permanent residency in the U.S.; and family payment of Virginia income taxes for at least three years prior to college enrollment).

Vanity Fair - French 18k Locket Slide
Circa 1900, this large 18k yellow gold pendant is often referred to as a "slide pendant". Although somewhat similar to a locket, the slide pendant does not rely on a hinge mechanism to open; instead its two "halves" slide to reveal whatever may be within. This particular superb example houses a mirror. Nicely sized and oval in shape, the pendant is adorned on both sides with a raised curved diagonal line pattern. The piece retains its original bale decorated with the same design.
Measurements: 2-1/2 inches (6.3 cm) in length including original bale by 1-7/16 inches (3.1 cm) in width. Weight of 20.8 grams (13.4 dwt).
Hallmarks: French hallmarks.

Breed Group: Sporting
Weight: 45-65 lbs
Height: Male: 22-24; Female: 21-23 inches
Color(s): Solid golden rust
The Vizsla is classified as a rare breed. They originated in Hungary in the 8th century as a hunting dog, although owning this breed was a symbol of aristocracy. They were nearly extinct after WWII. The Vizsla was revived by the Hungarians who smuggled their beloved breed out of the country for fear of them being desecrated.
The Vizsla is a versatile gun dog that is able to work in the forest, field, and water. They excel in retrieving, and are capable of covering difficult terrain in extreme weather conditions. The Vizsla has an easygoing nature and is an excellent companion.
The Vizsla is friendly, lively, and affectionate with their family and those they know. They are alert and watchful. They will bark when they sense danger or visitors. They are very reserved with strangers. The Vizsla is very demonstrative, but has a tendency to be willful and distracted. They get along well with older children and in most cases other dogs. They will tolerate cats they are raised with. The Vizsla loves to chew on anything and everything and is not a calm and placid breed. They will become destructive if they are allowed to be bored.
The Vizsla's coat requires very minimal care. They need to be brushed occasionally with a firm bristle brush and dry shampooed when necessary. Bathing should only be done with a mild soap so as not to strip the coat the protective oils. It is important to keep their nails trimmed. The Vizsla is generally healthy, but has a tendency toward hemophilia and hip dysplasia. They do not tolerate cold climates.
The Vizsla breed comes in two coat varieties: the Smooth and Wire. The Smooth is short, dense, close to the body, and shiny. There is no undercoat. The Wire is hard, harsh, and loose fitting. There is no gloss or shine. There is a winter under-coat and the hair is brush-like on the back of the forelegs, head, muzzle, and ears. The Vizsla coat colors range from golden to russet. They are average shedders.
The Vizsla needs both socialization and obedience training at an early age. Owners of this breed must make their authority clear right from the start. They are eager to please and quick to learn. The Vizsla displays their talents in the areas of tracking, pointing, retrieving, and competitive obedience. Harsh methods of training will ruin this breed. They need firm, fair, and consistent training.
The Vizsla is an extremely active breed that requires strenuous activity daily. They thrive in a large fenced area or a leashed jog with their owner. They also require mental stimulation, such as play sessions with their family to ensure their happiness. They are not recommended for apartment dwelling due to their enormous stamina.
If you are looking for Vizsla puppies for sale from reputable Vizsla breeders or to adopt Vizslas from a Vizsla rescue then make sure you understand as much about the dog breeds you are interested in as you can. Every puppy breed is different. Begin your research by reading the breed information about the Vizsla puppy above. Search our dog breeds section to find Vizsla puppies that make great pets.
Are you knowledgeable about a certain breed? Share what you know!
We provide the only safe marketplace for Vizsla dog breeders to list and rehome their purebred Vizsla puppies. Vizsla dog breeders listing puppies on Next Day Pets are required to verify their identity for your protection. Most dog breeders with Vizslas for sale offer health guarantees and may be shipped worldwide. With over 100,000 active dog breeders, we can assure you you'll find the perfect puppy for your family.

Recent Base Layer Bottom Reviews
SmartWool Women's NTS Mid 250 Bottom
These are without a doubt the best long johns I have ever owned! I am 5'7", 125lbs and I bought the mediums. They fit like a glove (well literally as they are next to skin). So comfy and non restricting, you barely notice you have them on. I did a lot of research in my quest for super warm long johns and came to the conclusion that wool was going to be the warmest. I am not disappointed. The waistband is wider so they don't roll down as some other brands do. I love being outdoors but don't like… Full review
Avalanche Wear Mogul Pant
These pants are incredible. I've worn and washed them 100 times and they still look and feel new. These pants are INCREDIBLE. I have washed and worn them 100 times. Not only have I been wearing them as a base layer under my ski pants but I wear their legging style all winter. Since I live in leggings all year these are perfect for winter because they have a fleece lining and I swear they are wind block (even though I don't think they are). Anyway, I have been reading about other people's pants pilling,… Full review
Avalanche Wear Mogul Pant
Do not pay full price! These are very warm, and have a great athletic look. But the inner thigh started to pill after just a few hours of moderate activity. I'm 5 feet tall, 118 pounds, usually wear a size 6, and the small fit great after I hemmed them 4 inches. But because of the pulling, they are for only around the house now. Not that anyone is looking at my crotch to see the pilling, but still. Glad I had an extra 35% off at STP, because I would have been livid if I had paid full price. But… Full review
RedRam Merino Legging
From what I can tell, these are made from Icebreakers' 150 Merino wool. They're thinner than any of my other wool leggings, but they feel great night after night, and while cycling through the mountains in early autumn. I purchased both a small and medium of these leggings recently, and ended up sticking with the medium (29-inch waist, 35-inch inseam). I've been a huge proponent of Merino wool for years, and have worn my SmartWool women's medium black leggings every day for months at a time over… Full review
SmartWool Women's Midweight Bottom
SmartWool bottoms keep you toasty but don't itch like most wools. They are durable and machine washable. And they don't retain odor like capeliene material. Love my SmartWool thermals. They keep me toasty warm and are the only wool I can wear that doesn't itch me. They are machine washable and hold up really well. After a few days of wearing they do begin to stretch in certain areas. They do a much better job at not retaining odor (unlike Patagonia's Capilene material - yuck!). Full review
Terramar Men's SmartSilk Tights
Initial Review: These base layer bottoms are a very good skin tight fit, without the feel of compression. Waistline is a little weird, the inner elastic can fold inside the outer. I found the product to have begun pilling before the first wash...? Overall durability is a concern. If they last, I will happily rate this product to at least four stars. Medium is a great fit for slim built 5'10" 155lbs. I recently received this base layer as a giveaway, THANK YOU, Trailspace!!! This is an initial review... … Full review
Terramar Hot Totties Fleece Heavy Footy Performance Leggings
Wonderfully soft and fuzzy inside with a smooth, silky feel outside. Unfortunately, the tights run VERY short! Wonderfully soft and fuzzy inside with a smooth, silky feel outside. However, I am severely disappointed - I am 5' 4.5", 130 pounds with a 30 inch inseam. I purchased these in a size Medium and they run short! I really had to tug to get the crotch up where it should be and it is still about 1/2" shy. Moreover, my toes now feel like they are being pinched due to the tights being pulled… Full review
Terramar Hot Totties Grid Fleece Tights
So warm and comfortable. I love these for lounging around or trekking out in the snow. Great as a base layer under pants or with a skirt or dress. I have two of the grid fleece hoodies as well. The warmest, coziest, most snuggley base layer ever! <3 Full review
Icebreaker Men's 200 Lightweight Legging
Very good product ;) This product is good for skiing and cycling and hiking. I have washed it many times, but it is holding up very well. I have the Icebreaker Men's 200 top as well and it is holding up better than expected. I have had both of these products for many years and I wear them for 3-to-4 months and I have no complaints. You do have to worry about bugs eating your very expensive undergarments and rodents. These are wool, so moths and such will eat them and when I was in Vietnam… Full review

In 1831 French statesman Alexis de Tocqueville toured America and later wrote about his impressions of the new country: "Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power …The Americans combine the notion of Christianity and liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive of one without the other."
Last year Kirk Cameron embarked on a quest to discover what it was that made America great. He shared his findings in a documentary titled, "Monumental —In Search of America's National Treasure." As he was led to a beginning point in time, he found that it was that point that was instrumental in providing our foundation as a nation: the era of the Pilgrims. It was the faith of this small band of believers in their desire to worship freely, their passion, their persistence and their sacrifices as they struggled to get to the New World.
Featured in "Monumental" was an 81-foot-tall statue called "The National Monument to the Forefathers," located in Provincetown, Mass. Formerly known as the "Pilgrim Monument," this statue commemorates the Mayflower pilgrims, honoring their ideals that were embraced by the United States in the forming of our government. Kirk Cameron summarized these principles by referring to them collectively as "the strategy of liberty." The central figure on the main pedestal is "Faith," with her right hand pointing toward heaven and her left hand clutching the Bible. Around "Faith" are seated four figures representing the principles upon which the Pilgrims founded their commonwealth. Each of those principles refer to the Bible that "Faith"holds: Freedom, Morality, Law and Education. Under each of those principles is carved sub-characteristics, much like an outline: Tyranny Overthrown and Peace, Prophet and Evangelist, Justice and Mercy, Youth and Wisdom. The rear panel is engraved with this quote from Governor William Bradford's famous "History Of Plymouth Plantation:"
"Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing and gives being to all things that are; and as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many, yea in some sort to our whole nation; let the glorious name of Jehovah have all praise."
Our nation desperately needs to be reminded of the Godly influence of the founding of our nation. We need to be reminded that our hope for the future, just as it was in the past, is in the Lord.

CoreLink MMU-500
The CoreLink MMU-500 is compatible with the ARMv8-A enabled Cortex™-A57 and Cortex-A53 processors, and is backwards compatible with the ARM Cortex-A15 and ARM Cortex-A7 processors. It offers nested stage 1 and stage 2 accelerated address translation with multiple distributed translation buffers controlled from a single control unit to be compatible with a wide range of bus master types and capabilities. This offers maximum flexibility in implementing efficient SoC designs that need to support virtualized applications.
CoreLink MMU-400
The CoreLink MMU-400 is compatible with the ARM Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 processors and offers stage 2 accelerated address translation for bus masters that already implement MMU functionality for stage 1 translation, such as the Mali-400 Graphics Processor, to reduce the hypervisor overhead in managing complex bus master interactions.
A number of virtualization use cases are outlined in an ARM System MMU Virtualization whitepaper.

University highest-rated, regional public university in the Midwest
September 13, 2012
DEARBORN / September 13, 2012---The University of Michigan-Dearborn again was ranked sixth among masters level public universities in the Midwest in an annual guide to American colleges published by U.S. News & World Report. UM-Dearborn was the highest-rated, regional public university in Michigan on the list and ranked No. 33 among all regional universities in the Midwest. This marks the tenth consecutive year that the university was rated as one of the regions best.
We are thrilled to again see UM-Dearborn rank near the top on many of the U.S. News regional evaluations, said Stanley E. Henderson, vice chancellor for enrollment management and student life. This is a tangible expression of what students and families have been saying for years about the quality and value of our higher education community.
UM-Dearborns College of Business (COB) and College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) also were ranked on program specific lists.
For the 15th consecutive year, UM-Dearborns College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) again was rated among the top ABET, Inc. accredited undergraduate engineering programs in the country among schools whose terminal degree is a bachelors or masters with few, if any, doctoral programs. UM-Dearborn began offering doctorate programs in 2009. CECS is honored to again be highly rated by U.S. News, said Tony England, interim dean, CECS. To be one of two schools in Michigan on this list speaks highly to the quality of our faculty, students and research facilities.
The College of Business (COB) was ranked as one of the top undergraduate business programs in the state of Michigan, after only University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and Michigan State University. We are pleased that the College of Business has been recognized for the fourth consecutive year as one of the best business schools in the state, said Lee Redding, interim dean, COB. To appear on the list recognizes the high quality business education that the College of Business offers and serves to further build the reputation of the college.
The rankings, which were released online this week at www.usnews.com, will appear in the magazine's annual guidebook to America's Best Colleges, which will be on newsstands Sept. 28.
In the magazine's ratings, UM-Dearborn is compared with other public universities that offer a full range of undergraduate and master's degree programs, but few or no doctoral degrees. Those institutions are rated by region because they tend to draw students from their surrounding areas, according to U.S. News. The magazine said it bases its overall rankings on quantitative measures that education experts have proposed as reliable indicators of academic quality. Their rankings of engineering programs are based on a peer survey of deans and senior faculty members at schools around the country. For more information on how U.S. News ensures the accuracy of the rankings visit www.usnews.com/collegemeth.
Founded in 1959 with a gift of just over 200 acres of land and $6.5 million from the Ford Motor Company, University of Michigan-Dearborn is a metropolitan university serving southeastern Michigan, committed to excellence rooted in strong academics, innovative research and programming and civic engagement. The University more than 9,100 students pursuing more than 100 bachelor's, masters, doctoral and professional degrees in liberal arts and sciences, engineering, business and education. A top-ranked university with a faculty devoted to teaching, and students committed to achievement, UM-Dearborn has been shaped by its history of partnering with local leaders and communities, and is committed to finding solutions for the challenges that face the region.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Information and Resources
Total Serum Protein
There is very little chance of a problem from having a blood sample taken from a vein.
- You may get a small bruise at the site. You can lower the chance of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for several minutes.
- In rare cases, the vein may become swollen after the blood sample is taken. This problem is called phlebitis. A warm compress can be used several times a day to treat this.
- Ongoing bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning medicines can make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medicine, tell your doctor before your blood sample is taken.
A total serum protein test is a blood test that measures the amounts of total protein, albumin, and globulin in the blood. Results are usually available within 12 hours.
The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.
Total protein:
6.4–8.3 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or 64–83 grams per liter (g/L)
3.5–5.0 g/dL or 35–50 g/L
Alpha-1 globulin:
0.1–0.3 g/dL or 1–3 g/L
Alpha-2 globulin:
0.6–1.0 g/dL or 6–10 g/L
Beta globulin:
0.7–1.1 g/dL or 7–11 g/L
High values
High albumin levels may be caused by:
- Severe dehydration.
High globulin levels may be caused by:
- Diseases of the blood, such as multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, macroglobulinemia, or hemolytic anemia.
- An autoimmune disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, autoimmune hepatitis, or sarcoidosis.
- Kidney disease.
- Liver disease.
- Tuberculosis.
Low values
Low albumin levels may be caused by:
- A poor diet (malnutrition).
- Kidney disease.
- Liver disease.
- An autoimmune disease, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
- Gastrointestinal malabsorption syndromes, such as sprue or Crohn's disease.
- Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Uncontrolled diabetes.
- Hyperthyroidism.
- Heart failure.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Taking medicines, such as corticosteroids, estrogens, male sex hormones (called androgens), growth hormone, or insulin.
- Injuries or infections.
- Prolonged bed rest, such as during a hospital stay.
- A long-term (chronic) illness, especially if the disease interferes with what you are able to eat or drink.
- Being pregnant.
