Face Value is introducing Brisa Gels to our line of nail services. Brisa gels are truly hypo-allergenic and odor-free.
Just because nails have a shiny finish doesn't mean they are Gel. A true gel nail product has the consistency of honey, it must be cured in an UV light, and it has NO ODOR. If your nails are created by combining a liquid and powder, you have acrylic nails. But we can help you make the transition to healthy Brisa Nails!

Point/Counterpoint: What's the right path for litho?
4 comments post a comment
Back in 1997, Intel led the formation of EUV LLC, a consortium that planned to commercialize extreme ultraviolet lithography by 2005. Advanced Micro Devices, IBM, Infineon and Micron were among the companies that signed on to the effort.
EUV was supposed to have replaced conventional optical lithography by now. But optical lithography is still driving the semiconductor engine, while EUV now is targeted for early production in 2012-or perhaps 2015 or 2016, depending on who's offering the estimate. Some say it may never work.
Others are pushing for nanoimprint, maskless lithography or an emerging technology called self-assembly. And there are those who hope to extend today's optical lithography indefinitely.
Was EUV the wrong bet for the industry? If so, what should it be working on instead? And who will benefit in the long run?
During the recent SPIE Advanced Lithography conference and other events, EE Times posed these questions to lithography experts and executives. Here are their responses.

I am over sixty years old and have been coping with obesity and diabetes for many years. My college roommate was quite successful in losing weight following the Perricone program. I started in early January of this year and dropped ten pounds fairly quickly. But, I hit a plateau and was concerned whether or not this was the route to go.I'm sure part of my challenge has to do with being insulin dependent and taking other meds.I decided to take the "next step" and purchase Dr. Perricone's thirty day Health & Weight Management supplements with the hope that they would help speed-up my metabolism. I felt that I needed an additional boost.I have been on a daily regimen of vitamins and antioxidants, however, using the Perricone products has convinced me to abandon those forever!I've noticed a significant improvement in my overall health. The swelling in my calves and legs has basically disappeared, along with the accompanying pain and discomfort. Additionally, I was having knee and joint problems, and those are resolving as well.Best of all... the scale finally moved a bit... after only a couple of days!I love the fact that the Perricone program and the supplements help to control my appetite and cravings. (I was a huge binge eater and would consume large quantities of junk food, fast food, pastries, pizza, cheeseburgers, etc.)My blood sugar levels have never been so low and are normalizing beautifully. I have a ton of energy; my skin looks radiant; and I'm feeling emotionally in control of my life instead of leading a life where food was a priority.I am more than excited about these outcomes. I feel like a brand new person!I would definitely recommend these products to others with similar health challenges and situations... especially for seniors.

I have been taking 3 packets a day plus 2 omega 3's 3 times per day for 4 weeks. I do not see any difference in energy levels and there has been no weight loss yet. I intend to continue this plan for 1 more month in case I am a slow responder, but so far, I am very disappointed.

Not worth the price
By Jan
from Florida
Comments about Perricone MD Health & Weight Management Supplements:
I expected more from the perricone line. I took these supplements for an entire year and they just weren't that great. I did not notice any difference in taking them, plus I realized I needed to supplement them with my own vitamins which sort of defeats the whole purpose of the convenient packs. Several ingredients such as magnesium, vit d, total omega 3 content, cla and co q10 and just way too low. 250 iu of vit d? 10mg of coq10? Come on now! I am a pharmacist so I do have experience with supplements.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It's Worth the Price
By Elvia
from Tucson, AZ
I have used this product with the 28 day diet. I followed the diet as stated on the 28 day program, with daily exercises. It did wonders to my body. I lost 30 pounds in three weeks. Also my face looked beautiful. I received a lot of compliments from my co-workers and from my family. I regret the fact that I did not continue on this healthy path. Therefore, I will begin this process again. I recommend it. But it has to be followed as is stated on the Dr. Perricone's Program. It's Worth It. For "Healthy Reason" and because it improves your skin. So let's begin this regimen.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I take two packets a day because I only eat two meals and because of the price. Even with only two packets a day, I am seeing results. I have had two knee operations and looking to a future knee replacement. I could not bend my knee to walk and had to walk stiff legged because of much swelling from inflammation. Since taking this product, I have taken a few steps with a bit of bending. I know that does not sound like much but to me it is a large step forward. I may not need knee replacement. Also, my mood have improved, my skin is becoming smooth, and my crutch of sweets is slowing down. I cannot say enough about this supplement-it really does work.

Rejuvenate and feel full of energy!
By Suzie , the jet-ski maniac
from Leonardtown, MD
I found myself adding a pound or so here and there about 12 years ago as I reached my fifties. As I had been accustomed to having no problem with weight gain, I found myself miserable. I had read Perricone's book and watched him when he appeared on the TODAY show. I realized that the adage "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT" just might have some merit. I decided to try the weight management supplements that he suggested. To my surprise, I found myself with more energy, My skin improved and with a healthy diet, the extra pounds came off. I was ready for those hiking trips, i loved the look I had in my clothes. I then experienced the loss of my husband. I found myself eating for comfort. Once again the extra pounds came my way. As time marched on, I was lucky enough to meet someone that gave me love and hope for the future. At the age of 62 I found myself preparing for my wedding. You guessed it, those extra pounds were still there. I ordered the supplements and started my regiment. I found myself once again with more energy and generally much better health. I lost the extra pounds and continue to enjoy the healthy weight with energy to jet ski, para-sail and knee board and tube with the grand-children. From one in her senior years who still teaches middle school, and enjoys an active life, I thank Dr. Perricone for providing such a wonderful product that is everything and more to me!

How Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams Are Made in Columbus, Ohio
Maker Tour
Jeni Britton Bauer has a thing or two to tell artisans who want to create and sell good local food. "Be a rock star. You have to go out there and go at it like you're trying to be President of the United States." In other words, you probably need to do what she did: Work 80 hours a week. Don't take a salary for years. Be on your toes every single day. This is part of Jeni's story, which has become a story of truly local food making good on a wildly successful scale.
We visited Jeni a few weeks ago to hear her story in person, and to visit the kitchen where all her delicious ice cream is made. But that's not all: She's working on a book, and we wanted a sneak peek of the goodies that home cooks are going to get when it's released next summer.
All of us here at The Kitchn adore Jeni's ice cream, and since I live in Columbus, I wanted to actually meet up with Jeni and hear her story. Yes, she has been featured all over the place as an ambassador for terrific ice cream and local ingredients. But I was curious about what it takes, as an artisan with a vision, to actually create and run a business like this one.
So Emma and I met Jeni Britton Bauer a few weeks ago, on a rainy Ohio afternoon. In person, she lights up the room with a direct buzz of energy. "Hi!" she says, and shakes my hand, when I meet her in her office. She talks fast - really fast.
When you meet Jeni and hear about her business, the immediate thing that strikes you is not necessarily the ice cream itself, but Jeni's entrepreneurial spirit. At age 22 she dropped out of art school at Ohio State University to open an ice cream shop, Scream. After a few years she burned out and took some time off to refine her recipes and her business plan. Then she launched Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams with her brother-in-law, Tom, and now, just a few years later, after being joined by her husband Charly and new CEO John Lowe, her family business is shipping her wildly popular collections of artisan ice cream all over the country. In her view, she is not just making frozen treats, or selling them in shops. She is building a fresh market for really, really good ice cream.
The Test Kitchen
We go on a lightning tour of the warren of rooms where her ice cream is made. She shows me her test kitchen, currently developing recipes for a book to be released in June 2011. Emma and I were delighted to see simple Cuisinart ice cream makers, churning away with flavors like an old favorite from the shops — coriander raspberry. Jeni described some of the recipes that are being developed for the book with help from her two test kitchen chefs. They are working on all sorts of delights: Frozen pies, cookies, lots and lots of ice cream.
Jeni shows us where pints are packed for Dean and Deluca and other specialty shops, and where individual orders (hundreds a day!) are packed in dry ice and shipped all over the country. She takes us through the tiny cooler and into the small kitchen where three gelato machines crank out 8,000 pints of artisan ice cream every week. All the workers here are young and fresh-faced. They all seem to be having a splendid time - handwriting labels, mixing ice cream, chopping mint.
The Artisan's Secret Sauce
Jeni stands in the ice cream production room, filmy white net pulled over her hair, and rapid-fire tells me the story of her entrepreneurial background. "I've had many jobs that I've created. The cool thing I tell kids is you can start in second grade or whenever. I made stickers one year. I would start out with my big sign on the playground until they would tell me to put it away." Her family moved frequently, and every year she would try something new.
"The absolutely best product, was when I was in high school, and I took straws and filled them with Kool-Aid that I put in the food processor with sugar — Pixie Sticks! I'd roll up paper and actually fill straws. I'd go around and make 8 dollars or 20 dollars at school every day, selling these at a quarter apiece." Tellingly, she chose to use her hard-earned cash to buy pizza for her friends after school. Entrepreneur as community-builder; that's clearly part of Jeni's story.
Her own community inspired her to become an entrepreneur in the first place. Her grandparents cleaned offices in the evenings after her grandfather came home from his job at the newspaper. "I loved seeing them work on their own. Not only did they not have a boss, but no one was ever there. We'd have keys, go in. It taught me from a very young age that you can make money even if you're not old enough to get a job."
Jeni began as an entrepreneur, but she also has a background in art. Her grandmother is an artist, and she decided to study illustration at Ohio State. She worked in a French pastry kitchen to pay the bills, and her mind started spinning with ideas for recreating classic American desserts with French methods. She decided that food could be an art form as well. "When I was at Ohio State," she told me, "there was an installation where they had these giant vases filled with scent. You would walk up and pull the top off and smell the scent inside. I had already been making ice cream at home, and I was like, this is art. If those vases filled with scent are art, then butterfat filled with scent that melts on your palate and explodes in your nose, that's art too."
But it's not enough to have an artist's dream, or even a good product. That is where Jeni steps forward from many of the artisans at work in today's bustling local food scenes. People ask her how it feels to be so successful now. With splashy press in major outlets like The New York Times, Food & Wine, and Food Network over the last several years, she has arrived, right? Wrong. "That's not at all how I see it. I wake up every single day feeling I'm in a fight for my life," she laughs. She's only half-kidding. There is always something to put you out of business, even if you're a locally adored and nationally fêted artisan. There is a wonderful sense of public feeling for artisans and local businesses right now, but it still takes a nearly incomprehensible amount of work to make a living.
"That's what it takes; it's not even about just having a great product. You can have the best product, but if you can't support your business like that..." she trails off. "I've seen so many dairies come and go in that way."
The Artisan's Business Plan
Jeni's business has grown enormously in the last five years. Right now they ship twice as much ice cream as they sell in their stores. This expansion past the purely local arena is yet another lesson for young artisans. "We have to be OK with our artisans growing a little bit. You can't make a big impact on the world. What we're doing now is so much bigger. We're buying entire fields of blueberries, which means we're giving all that money to one farmer. Before, it was literally a flat a week. We can make a bigger impact, as long as we really truly change the world of business as we grow."
For Jeni, a good business means creating a good place to work, and creating a product that makes other businesses successful, as well as her own. While she lauds Val Jorgensen, the farmer who supplies her mint, and Warren Taylor of Snowville, the dairy behind all of Jeni's ice creams, these connections are just as much about community and symbiotic business relationships as they are about local products.
She loves local food, but this is about flavor, not the fetishization of the local, the organic, or the natural at all costs. She does add corn syrup, on occasion, to some of her flavors and she used orange food coloring in the Andy Warhol-inspired push-up pops she created a couple summers ago. She answered the letters that she received from a few angry consumers, and said, politely but forthrightly, that they were missing the point. Her ice cream is about flavor. It is about an experience.
Luscious Ohio apricots, the almond brittle of Norway, the spices of India — they're all fair game. She rhapsodizes over tiny Japanese marshmallows that look like quail eggs. She loves experimenting with colors, textures, new flavors - anything that strikes her as complex and interesting. In the test kitchen I taste a coconut ice cream flavored with black tea, filled with nubs of toasted rice. I taste a scarlet beet and lemon ice cream with poppy seeds that crunch between the teeth. With Jeni, color is always a factor.
Color & Flavor
Vibrant colors run through so many of the flavors: The summer exclusive Strawberry Buttermilk (when it's gone, it's gone!), made with tiny scarlet berries, fragile and fragrant. The rich Dark Chocolate, the bright orange Influenza Sorbet. And it's not just the ice cream; the flagship shop has a ceiling the color of apricots, and walls the color of mint ice cream. There are old-fashioned white tiles underfoot, and another wall is covered with a chalkboard, with the day's flavors written out in looping paint. Pennants in pink, yellow, and purple calico are swagged over the door, part of the celebration of summer flavors. They were handmade by Jeni's mother and grandmother.
And the flavors themselves are terribly inspiring as well. There is Jeni's signature flavor, Salty Caramel, is a rich caramel with a lovely tang of salt, introduced well before the current craze of burnt caramels sprinkled with sea salt. There is her best-known flavor, Queen City Cayenne, featured on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Dark chocolate, with a deceptively light touch of red cayenne, the heat builds and builds, needing one more lick of chocolate coolness to mellow it, until the chocolate and the pepper burn down your throat in a dark and fiery pleasure. There is the Sour Cherry Lambic sorbet, winner of the 2008 Gallo Family Vineyards Gold Medal Award. And then there are the seasonal flavors: Goat cheese with ripe cherries, lemon yogurt with blueberries. There is a delicate cucumber sake sorbet, and sweet Ohio corn with black raspberries. The roasted apricot yogurt soars and dips in a tangy flare and a finish of black tea tannins.
The Artisan & Community
However, in the end, this is just ice cream. Quite possibly the best ice cream you will ever eat, but ice cream all the same. But hopefully it is ice cream that is helping create a modest community around its creation and consumption. And that's all that Jeni wants. "It's about community," she told me, "and I would support anyone who's doing this. I hope you're supporting Jeni's ice creams because you're supporting this cool business that's showing people you can do business differently and enjoy life, enjoy work, enjoy your family, and create something great that is of value to the community. We can all do this if we support each other that way."
To be honest, a lot has been written about Jeni and her little ice cream company; they've become a poster child for Columbus and for local artisan food. I wondered what, if anything, was left to write about. But I found myself excited and energized by this visit. I found her emphasis on the entrepreneurial ethic and the hard work necessary to create a business like this refreshing. Yes, we can all say we love local food, and to support our local markets, but it's another thing to really see and understand the commitment that an artisan has to make to the community in order to create a business like this. It's hard work, and I, for one, am very glad that Jeni is doing it!

(drool...) It's easy to see why Jeni's continues to be the sweetheart of Columbus's sweet-tooth community. Simple concept, simple ingredients, executed to perfection.
It's so nice to see all of the high-end equipment and fixtures in the space too. Oh, and the pops of color (sunflowers and the "Less talk, more rock" poster) are a nice touch too.
Ok I saw Hummus and Corn Chips in the test kitchen. O.O
Well written article.
I definitely do my part in supporting her and her business! About $30 a week! That and Northstar. The only places I eat!
While we were at one of her shops, we asked if Jeni was financially set (classy huh!?) and the guy said nope, she pays a lot for her ingredients, overhead, and pays her employee's well! My kind of lady! But I do wish her tons and tons of success and happiness!
@TheWholesomeHome - well done and good choices. How about Elizabeth and all of her places: Betty's Surly Girl, Tip-Tip, and Frank's? :) Curious...
I miss them all but at least I can order Jeni's here in Boston.
Great piece, Faith! Its so nice reading profiles of people like Jeni that are written for the food community rather than the general public. Its rally eye opening. The pixie sticks story is amazing!
YEY! Proud to see Jeni's on a wonderful site! I have been following 'The Kitchn' and the bunch for quite some time—love seeing local shops as well as the best ice cream featured! Jeni and her husband have been creating some of the best ice cream flavors for quite a few years now! Can't wait to taste what's next! YUM!
Jeni's is AWESOME! I reviewed it a few weeks ago: http://stylefyles.tumblr.com/post/900216108/jenis-amazingly-delicious-ice-cream
great article and wonderful kitchen tour.
jeni's work ethic, artful and playful aesthetic and the beautiful looking and sounding flavours are all such a major inspiration! congrats jeni on all your success, and i hope you get a break now and again... :)
if i could i would definitely spend the money to have her ice creams shipped to me... i've read so much about it. but alas, vancouver, bc canada is too far.
cannot wait for her ice cream book!
jeni's is a fave fave icecream spot for me! i visited often while a grad student at OSU and miss the shop dearly. fave flavor = thai chili!
This is an amazing article. What scrumptious descriptions! It makes my mouth water. Will order some soon, but what flavor to choose?? ahh!
My husband and I saw a segment about Jeni's ice cream on Food Network and I ordered 3 pints immediately. One for him (Queen City Cayenne) and two for a dinner party we were having the following week (Pear sorbet and Almond Butter something or other). Tasted them to confirm that they were delicious. My guests didn't even KNOW about the stuff - it was gone four days later. Jeni is a wizard.
She IS a wizard! I ordered the book from amazon and am now in the process of going crazy making batch after batch of the most amazing ice creams!
I truly recommend it! Easy to follow, FANTASTIC recipies!
Thanks Jeni!
My local Fresh Market has started carrying Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream pints! I'm a very lucky girl. :-)
ANITA83 - is your local Fresh Market part of The Fresh Market chain? I'll have to check my TFM this week.
@ipodhunting You can now buy pints at all Fresh Market locations. (And, no matter where you are, you can find the closest place to buy a pint near you with our Pint Finder: http://jen.is/pintfinder)
What a wonderful story. I bought her book a few months ago and have made three or four recipes already. Some of them are pretty involved but they turn out great. I love her technique of using starch to stabilize it. My only complaint is they tend to come out pretty "thick" and intense in flavor (sweetness).
Truly a wonderfully written story about the realities of small artisan business. I can attest that her story is very true. If you want to succeed, you have to be prepared to pay yourself last. Your staff and suppliers come first. It's like the opposite of big corporations. We think the people who craft food and the farmers who produce the ingredients are key.
I hope more people will appreciate her hardwork. Thank you Jeni!
I enjoyed reading this. I have Jeni's book and we LOVE the ice cream that results. Just had Black Coffee I.C. today - probably my favorite!

HR newslink / Issue #1 July/August 2005

Class and Comp goes on the road Capturing Arizona's wildlife employee population Brian Crawford manages a 5,000- acre wildlife area just outside Springerville, Arizona. He does everything from farming, filling reservoirs and maintaining heavy equipment, to managing the area's visitor center and ranch. Crawford's current job title is Construction Crew Leader. If all goes well, it will be changed to Wildlife Area Manager— a much more accurate description of what he does. " I like the variety in my job— it's never the same daily routine," Crawford says. " There's always something different and I love being outdoors." Crawford's job was just one of hundreds of positions that were recently reviewed during a massive project that the Department of Administration's Classification and Compensation team undertook with the Department of Game and Fish. Lining up with the rest of the wildlife world " I enjoy helping these people," says Evelyn Flores, a senior analyst with the Class and Comp team. " I help management realize what they have sitting in front of them— the jobs their employees actually do. It's very satisfying." " I think the Class and Comp team did a great job capturing what our employees do out in the field." Flores was part of a team of six Class and Comp analysts who teamed up for the project. After several months and hundreds of miles, the team is finally home and is proud to say that the Wildlife Classification Series will soon be more in line with the rest of the wildlife world. " It's important that we understand enough about what these people are doing so that we can fit them into their area, their agency, and the State's overall plan," explains Class and Comp Manager Joanne Carew. Planes, trains, and automobiles Before stepping foot outside the city, analysts like Flores did extensive research, looking into similar job classifications with the federal government, other states, and neighboring counties. They did internet searches, made phone calls, looked at salaries and job duties, and spent a lot of time on the Game and Fish website. Several road trips included visits to Kingman, Lake Havasu, Parker, Quartzsite, Yuma, Tucson, and Pinetop. The last leg of the trip alone was 800 miles. Transportation included renting a State jeep and flying in a single- engine airplane with no parachute. " I've seen more of Arizona in the past few months than I have in my entire life," says Flores, who grew up in Parker. According to Diana Shaffer, the Game and Fish contact for this project, the analysts interviewed 50 percent of wildlife employees ( that translates to nearly 200 people). Some of those may have been phone interviews, but the Class and Comp team visited six regional areas, including fish hatcheries and wildlife areas. " I think the Class and Comp team did a great job capturing what our employees do out in the field," Shaffer said. " And we appreciate the fact that they asked for our input. They've kept us involved all along." Issue # 1 • July/ August • 2005 Class and Comp analyst, Evelyn Flores, finds her job " very satisfying," especially when she gets to meet employees out in the field. Satellite Spotlight Page 3 Benefits Bulletin Page 4 State Employee Snapshot Page 5 AZStateJobs Contact List Page 6 Welcome to the debut issue of HR Newslink, a newsletter to connect all State of Arizona Human Resources personnel. The purpose of this newsletter is to educate and inform you about upcoming events and current issues facing HR. Every issue will have a main feature article on the cover that will showcase the success or progress of one area of HR. When designing this newsletter, the idea was for each section to have its own look— almost like " mini newsletters" inside the larger one, so that you will know where to find what you want. To explain a few of the sections; the Satellite Spotlight will shine on a different satellite office every issue; HRIS: News You Can Use will help you work better, faster, and smarter with HRIS; Legislative Q& A will take one bill that affects HR employees and dig a little deeper into it; and the State Employee Snapshot will be just that— a ' snapshot' or interesting fact about the State's workforce. I hope you will read this new publication and share your feedback with us so that we can use this resource to best serve you. - Kathy Peckardt 4 5 6 7 WEDNESDAY 8 11 12 13 14 15 18 19 20 21 22 25 26 27 28 29 Morning Training Session AD Employee Recognition FRIDAY Holiday Leadership Book Club MONDAY TUESDAY THURSDAY 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 15 16 17 18 19 22 23 24 25 26 Aug 29: Open Enrollment Morning Training Session Leadership Speaker Series Legislation Effective Leadership Book Club Newslink 2 July/ Aug 05 Jennifer Selby's smile is the first thing customers see when they walk in the ADOT Human Resources Office. Satellite Spotlight: ADOT Human Resources Office in Phoenix Manager: Bryce Boldt Number of employees: 23 As you step into the main lobby of the ADOT HR satellite office in Phoenix, you might hear Stacy Lopez's infectious laugh. Or you might catch manager Bryce Boldt on one of his daily rounds walking about the office greeting employees. That's the kind of place it is— a place where you can be yourself and feel at ease. " Every day I try to walk around out there. Maybe someone's mother is sick," says Boldt. " I look at their work and praise them for it, but asking, ' how's your mom doing?' means so much more." As Boldt's self- proclaimed sidekick, Lopez performs a variety of functions each day, with most of them keeping her away from her desk and sometimes on the floor. " I love my job," Lopez comments. " Sometimes I might complain of crawling under a desk to do inventory, but I totally have to be up and moving. That's why you'll rarely catch me at my desk!" On the front lines Jennifer Selby is on the front lines as the first person customers see when they enter the lobby. Along with assisting walk- ins, she has her phone headset on most of the day to field calls. Most of the calls she gets are standard questions, but then there's that one odd request. " I recently got a call from a guy whose wife was stuck at a train stop and called him on her cell phone," she explains. " He didn't believe her, so he called me to get the train schedule." Just like family On the whole, employees in ADOT's HR office have been described as " seasoned." The average number of years their employees have been with the State is 20, and combined they have 350 years! " We have a history here," says Staffing Analyst Margaret Guerra. " We know each other's habits and we back each other up." It's hard to believe, but even with close to 4,500 total ADOT employees, these HR veterans still describe the agency's atmosphere as being " like a family." " Everybody is on a first name basis here," says Robin Smith, HRIS/ Benefits supervisor. " We don't use Mr. or Mrs. And even with our large number of employees, people know the director!" If you handle training for your agency and are a STARS user with " Level 3" access, these tips are for YOU! Tip # 1 – When enrolling students for a class and you reach maximum capacity, you have the option to place additional students on a " waitlist". When using the STARS waitlist, be sure to check the roster just prior to the event to enroll waitlisted students into any available slots ( the system does not automatically enroll those on the waitlist). Tip # 2 – For security reasons, Level 3 users must call the STARS Helpdesk at 602.771.2948 to perform a password reset. This is useful if you ever lose your password or feel it has been compromised. Tip # 3 – After a class has finished, remember to finalize the roster to indicate whether each student completed or passed the course. Often students who have attended a class will attempt to print completion certificates the following day. Completing your roster immediately following an event will ensure that students have access to current training information. The " Kudos Board" is for employee birthdays, upcoming events, and compliments that the HR staff has received. Newslink 3 July/ Aug 05 Emergency Rooms When you or a loved one is hurt, you want the best care. Deciding where to go isn't always easy. You may be tempted to go to the emergency room ( ER). But, this may not be the best choice. At the ER, true emergencies are treated first. Other cases must wait— sometimes for hours. And, it may cost you more. Go to the ER for: • Heavy bleeding • Large open wounds • Sudden change in vision • Chest pain • Sudden weakness or trouble talking • Major burns • Spinal injuries • Severe head injury • Difficulty breathing Of course, each case is unique. If a situation seems life-threatening, take action. Call 911 or your local emergency number right away. Choosing the right health care setting: emergency room, urgent care, or clinical care? Urgent Care Sometimes, you may need care fast. But, a trip to the ER may be unnecessary. You may want to try an urgent care center. They can treat many minor ailments. Chances are, you won't have to wait as long as at the ER. You may pay less, too. An urgent care center can help with: • Sprains • Strains • Minor broken bones • Mild asthma attacks • Minor infections • Small cuts • Sore throats • Rashes Clinical Care If it's not urgent, it's usually best to go to your own doctor's office. Your doctor knows you and your health history. He or she can access your medical records. And, he or she can provide follow- up care or refer you to a specialist if necessary. A closer look at Senate Bill 1017: Q& A with Alan Ecker, Legislative Liaison and ADOA Public Information Officer Senate Bill 1017 would permit the Department of Administration to authorize payroll deductions for critical care and long- term care insurance, and for pre- paid legal and identity theft protection services. Q: Why did you ask Senator Waring to sponsor this bill? A: The bill provides additional benefits for our State employees and is a useful recruitment tool. Other governments and private sector companies currently offer similar payroll deduction benefits, so this helps the State compete. Q: There was already a statute listing conditions under which a state employee could authorize payroll deductions. Why did you feel it necessary to add to this list? A: Offering additional payroll deductions to employees is prohibited unless specifically authorized by this statute. This bill was necessary for ADOA to have the permissive ability to offer these new payroll deductions. Q: I noticed that " identity theft protection services" has been added to the list of potential payroll deductions. According to the FTC, Arizona had the highest per- capita rate of identity theft- related complaints in 2003. Explain how a deduction for identity theft protection services would help state employees to combat this problem. A: Identity Theft Protection services are similar to credit protection programs offered by credit card companies. Individuals who do not carry credit cards may not have access to credit monitoring programs. Additionally, payroll deductions for these services are attractive to employees because group rates are generally cheaper. Companies offering these services through pa roll deduction do not have the administrative cost y s associated with collecting premiums. Newslink 4 July/ Aug 05 How long will our employees stay? Over 43% of State employees have been hired within the last four years. The average length of service for State employees is 8.4 years, which is below the average of other states ( 11.2 years). A recent poll of college graduates found that nearly 50 percent are planning to stay with their first employer less than two years! What can you do in your role within Human 5 July/ Aug 05 Make fewer errors when entering information into HRIS. Here's how: When you receive conformation that a hire has been made through Hiring Gateway… be sure to verify all the information for the employee that auto- fills in the XP52.4 HRIS form.

Mathias Frank rode safely among his teammates on the BMC Racing Team Thursday at the Tour de Suisse while a four-man breakaway took the spotlight on the day's stage.
Queen Stage Friday
The breakaway enjoyed a 14-minute advantage at one point in the 187.9-kilometer race under sun-splashed skies. Gregory Rast (RadioShack Leopard) easily took the stage win, while Frank and the peloton rolled in 10:43 later. Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said the BMC Racing Team did not exert too much energy riding since the breakaway posed no threat. "It was good to have one more day like this before the big queen stage to La Punt," Lelangue said. "We were riding in the front not to chase the breakaway but to stay in the safe zone. There were a lot of crashes in the beginning and in the end." Frank, who has held the lead since finishing fourth on Stage 3, said he has first-hand knowledge of Friday's 206 km stage and its three climbs. "It's going to be a tough stage with the Albulapass pass, which is a pretty hard mountain," Frank said. "But I know what's coming up. I've ridden this climb many times in training. This is for sure an advantage for me. So I'm hoping for legs, which I have had so far. So I am confident."
Listen to complete post-race comments from Frank (English and German) and Lelangue on the BMC Racing Team Audio Line.

Gene Simmons Says he Was Asked To Reunite Led Zeppelin
Monday, October 22, 2012
Kiss' Gene Simmons revealed that several years ago, he acted as the go-between for a prospective Led Zeppelin reunion. Simmons, who's promoting Kiss' new album, Monster, recalled how he nearly played a role in getting Zeppelin to team up again following their 2007 reunion at London's O2 Arena, which was captured on the new Zeppelin CD/DVD collection, titled, Celebration Day.
Simmons told The Sun, that a major promoter gave him access to about $320 million and enlisted him to help secure another Zeppelin reunion: "In 2009, 2010, I was given a few hundred million dollars in an account by a large concert promoter and given the task of reaching out to Jimmy (Page) and Robert (Plant) and trying to convince them to get back together. Of course, it didn't work. Robert just doesn't want to do it."
Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones admitted that it took very little rehearsal or preparation for Led Zeppelin to fall back into their old ways during rehearsals for their 2007 reunion gig: "I mean, it just immediately, it clicks again. You don't have to work at it; you just fall into how it's always been. Y'know, I mean, we played. . . I don't know how many shows we played in all in the old days. And suddenly time was compressed and suddenly you're right back there again and you're working on the same things you were always working on and focusing on the same issues. And it just slid straight back into it again. Once the fingers got going again, the brains followed -- as did our asses."
