Each year, millions of Americans are diagnosed with digestive disorders, ranging from the occasional upset stomach to the more life-threatening colorectal cancer. They encompass disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
Reaching a diagnosis requires a thorough and accurate medical history and physical examination. Some patients may need to undergo more extensive diagnostic evaluations, including lab tests, endoscopic procedures, and imaging techniques. Physicians who specialize in the treatment of digestive problems are called gastroenterologists.
The endoscopy suite at Bridgeport Hospital performs more than 8,000 procedures a year.

Positive identification of crystals provides a definitive diagnosis for joint disease.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Powdered anticoagulants such as oxalate are themselves crystalline; their use may cause confusion masking the presence of synovial fluid crystals definitive for the disease.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Copyright provides certain forms of protection to authors of "original works of authorship," including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. It is based on federal law (title 17, U.S. Code), and gives to the owner of copyright the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the following:
Anyone who violates any of the rights provided by the copyright law may be held civilly or criminally liable. These rights, however, are not unlimited in scope. Two important exemptions from copyright liability for educators are the fair use exemption established by chapter 1, section 107, title 17, U.S. Code and the distance education exemption established by chapter 1, section 110, title 17, U.S. Code. The fair use exemption outlines certain situations for which the reproduction of a particular work is considered "fair," and the distance education exemption outlines situations in which instructors in nonprofit educational institutions may transmit online non-dramatic written works and portions of dramatic works such as movies.
Copyright protects "original works of authorship" that are fixed in a tangible form of expression. The following categories are included: literary works; musical works, including any accompanying words; dramatic works, including any accompanying music; pantomimes and choreographic works; pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works; motion pictures and other audiovisual works; sound recordings; architectural works. The following works are not protected by copyright: works that have not been fixed in a tangible form of expression (for example, an improvisational speech that has not been written or recorded); titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; listings of ingredients such as recipes; ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts, principles, discoveries, or devices; information that is common property such as calendars, height and weight charts, rulers.
Since 1989, works no longer need to carry notice of copyright (such as the letter c in a circle) in order to be protected. Copyright is secured automatically when a work is created. Works are created when they are fixed in a medium such as a book, manuscript, videotape, sheet music, or CD. Digital works created on the internet are copyrighted automatically as well.
How long copyright lasts can be a complicated issue, but "life +70 years" applies in many situations. Consult this table to learn more about when works pass into the public domain.
Fair use, outlined in chapter 1, section 107, title 17, U.S. Code, allows copyrighted works to be reproduced for purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, and research. If a use of a copyrighted work is determined to be fair, one does not need to pay royalties or obtain permission to use or reproduce the work.
Section 107 sets out four factors that must be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair. Those factors are:
All educational uses of copyrighted works are not necessarily fair. Each time a copyrighted work is used, a fair use analysis must be conducted using the four factors. Generally, if one is using a small amount of a published, factual work in an educational setting, and that use has no effect on the market for that work, the use is likely fair. It is the responsibility of all UW-River Falls faculty, staff, and students to conduct a fair use analysis each time a copyrighted work is used, and to make a reasonable, good faith determination if the use is fair or not. Helpful information on how to perform a fair use analysis each time one uses a copyrighted work is available at
Although one must determine fair use on a case-by-case basis, some uses of copyrighted works clearly are not fair. Some examples of activities that would not pass a fair use analysis are:
Because the distinction between fair use and infringement may be unclear, groups of interested individuals that have a stake in copyright compliance have written guidelines that help define fair use of copyrighted materials in certain situations. UW-River Falls does not endorse these guidelines as policy, but suggests that faculty, students, and staff refer to these guidelines as minimum application of the fair use exemption. While a final determination of fair use legally can be made only after a good faith analysis of the four fair use factors, the guidelines may be helpful during that analysis. The guidelines are outlined in the Final Report to the Commissioner on the Conclusion of the Conference on Fair Use.
More information on fair use is available at the U.S. Copyright Office Fair Use Fact Sheet.
22.214.171.124 Digital Millennium Copyright Act
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) was enacted in 1998. It was an effort to update copyright law to take into account digitally produced and reproduced materials. The act affects universities in their role as internet service providers and information technology providers. It requires that universities make reasonable efforts to insure that the copyright protections applying to digital material are in place on their campuses. UWRF has undertaken the necessary steps to be in compliance with this law. Further information on the educational impact of DMCA is provided by EDUCAUSE.
The U.S. Copyright Office provides a summary of the DMCA legislation.
126.96.36.199 TEACH Act
The newest revision of copyright law affecting universities is The Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization Act, (TEACH Act) which became law in November 2002. The TEACH Act modifies existing copyright law to allow educators to use some copyright protected materials in distance education without gaining prior permission and/or paying royalties without violating copyright law. The general intention of the act was to make the same "fair use" criteria that apply to face-to-face educational contexts also apply to distance education.
The TEACH Act applies only to accredited educational institutions that have stated copyright policies which are made available to faculty, staff and students. In order to comply with the TEACH Act, copyrighted material made available via distance education must, among other things, meet the following criteria:
All UWRF faculty and staff engaged in distance education should become familiar with the provisions of this law.

In soil, pH extremes limit biological activity, humus formation, and plant growth. Frequent monitoring is essential, as soil pH changes rapidly during fertilization, irrigation, and even the phases of the moon. Effective pH monitoring of spray solutions will maximize pesticide effectiveness and nutrient uptake in foliar feeds.
Reference solutions are not included with most meters, although they are necessary to calibrate your meter. For pH, the 7.0 solution is the solution to use for primary calibration. If accurate readings below pH 6.0 are consistently needed, the 4.0 solution is also recommended. For best calibration and accuracy, use both the 7.0 and 4.0 reference solutions.

User Reviews
After I reinstalled my Windows 8 after christmas, I couldn't get TuxGuitar to run anymore (cause I use JDK 1.8 and didn't want to try and install several other versions of Java). I was pissed and eventually got over it, until I just now visited the project website (google it) and found other versions with standalone Java Runtimes which solved the problem for me.
TuxGuitar WAS great, until it broke under OS X 10.10 due to a bug in the old version of the JRE. Now the updated versions of JRE 7u71 or 8u25 that work with OS X 10.10 are incompatible with TuxGuitar, so I am dead in the water and all my tabs are lost.
Great tool that I have been using for years to practice guitar. Not perfect, but still very good and well done.
Very good software. I've been looking for something to replace guitar pro, and I must admit that TuxGuitar is even better in some aspects. It takes a bit to get used to, but it clearly worth it!
Excellent, only really useful thing missing is an option to to apply parameters such as loudness to groups of notes / entire bars as well as individual notes.

The Trouble With Demand Generation
Monday, January 31st, 2011
Demand Generation as defined by Wikipedia is: "Demand Generation is a holistic approach to marketing and sales cohesiveness within the company". So, in order to implement a Demand Generation process within an organization, the organization must have the marketing and sales teams work together for two primary purposes: (1) to increase awareness of the organization [product or service] within the marketplace, and (2) to nurture both leads and customers to maximize revenue opportunities. So far, so good? Now, let's peel the onion a bit more.
Effective nurturing of prospective or existing clients requires tools and skills - specifically, the core of a Demand Generation process is a Marketing Automation Platform (MAP) that is used to manage multiple messages (email or direct mail), web traffic, landing pages, web-forms, work flow and lead scoring models. And, since most of the MA platforms control multiple tracks of communications across a variety of campaigns, the content for all the messages, landing pages and the like must be developed in advance of launching the first campaign. This is where most companies fall short. The time and energy required to implement nurturing process is significant and can be expensive. As defined, one of the core attributes of an effective demand generation process is the alignment of sales and marketing resources. This is necessary for marketing to understand and incorporate part of the sales process and lead scoring criteria into the campaigns and for sales to embrace a more active role by marketing in the day-to-day sales communications. This is typically another trouble spot as most sales professionals do not want to hand off any direct communications. Therefore, a commitment from the top is necessary along with a recognition that the model of expecting sales to manage all communications is outdated and, in today's marketplace, less productive. And, at the risk of offending a few, investments in CRM programs as a means to improve sales productivity will only go so far, and could actually be counter-productive.
Improving your business development processes is critical. Demand Generation does offer significant improvements in this regard and can greatly increase the revenue opportunities of a company. But, for the reasons stated above, and the fact it is not fully understood, it can be difficult to implement. That's why we are seen new companies offering new services focused on the various components of the process - the most notable of which is content. What is your experience? How are opportunities managed in your organization? Just like the web, new processes like Demand Generation are not going away. The longer an organization uses the traditional sales-person only approach, the more the organization will spend in lost opportunity.

DAYTON, OHIO -- We have had our home (and cars) insured with Traveler's for over 10 years as well as three investment properties for 6 years. All of our investment properties have been renovated and rehabbed, very well maintained, and are homes to good, reliable tenants. None have ever had a claim. When we called to add a fourth property in September we received a declarations page not for the investment property we requested (by email) but rather one that switched our residence to a rental dwelling.
I called our agent who said she would correct it. Two weeks later we received the same declarations page but this time under reason for change it stated "change to insureds address". We didn't move. We were trying to ADD a property. Again I contacted our agent but this time by email and she assured me the problem was being corrected but guess what: Wrong again! We received same declaration page listing our residence as a rental, "change to insureds address", and no mention of the investment property.
More emails and phone calls in which our agent never apologized or admitted a mistake, but rather, a "hmmm, I wonder what's happening?" response and a few weeks later an inspector shows up to our residence saying they are updating their records and need to take pictures of our yard and home which was on our neighborhood garden.
Tour a few months earlier with its professionally landscaped yard, two small koi ponds, a gazebo, paver patio, pergola, floating deck, outdoor kitchen and, stacked at the back at the wooden privacy fence gate to the alley, behind the metal gate through the boxwood hedge were stacked limbs from a 10' dying tree at the front which we took down a week prior. (A neighbor with a chipper wanted them and was coming by that week to haul it away).
Two weeks after the inspector took pictures we received in the mail another declarations page for the rental but: STILL WRONG! Another "policy change" statement for our residence. I emailed our agent once again who called me the following week to tell me I must be mistaken because the policy is correct on her computer. After a back and forth she admits that the statement I have dated October 15th was corrected on her computer on October 22nd so I will once again be getting a "corrected" policy. And, oh, by the way, if we don't clear out our "debris strewn yard" and "paint and re-point your brick residence" in the next 20 days they will cancel our policy.
That's right: CANCEL OUR HOME POLICY. I am told this on October 24th. We have never had a claim on any policy with them: Not even our auto policies!! No tickets, nothing! The "debris" was the tree at the back and paint chips because we were painting our house (a permit in our front window said as much) and since its an unpainted brick house, we can only paint the window trim and soffits. It's late October and we're expected to paint and re point our house in 20 days and guess what else? The investment property is still uninsured. Unbelievable.
We have no idea what is/isn't insured at this point and regardless of whether the company has a right to update their records (she kept insisting this as if I had no cause to complain) this would seem punitive punishment to cover their mistake. Our agent blames the underwriters for the mistake however we, not our agent, have been the only ones to catch the mistake every time.
She managed to graciously get us an extension until January to correct things. Really?! We live in Ohio and are expected to paint and re-point our entire 2000', two story house in the months of November, December and January? Are you kidding me? Wouldn't it seem reasonable that if you see we have a paint permit and that we are painting it's logical to infer we are taking care of it?
And for re-pointing, again, we are painting the house, our yard is landscaped and well maintained, our roof only 5 years old, and our windows are new as of three years ago so again, wouldn't it follow we are responsible people who are taking care of their property? We are re-pointing a side at a time of our home because the cost is over $10,000 for a house of our size but we are being forced by the insurance company to do it now. In the winter. How is that right?
We have never gotten an apology or admission of any sort. The best we have received is an extension to January and to that we will be dropped but rather they won't renew our policy if we don't correct the issues by January 1. Again, we still have no idea if our home is properly insured or if the rental is insured. Their mistake and now we're being treated like WE are the problem. Beware of Travelers. When they mess up they will punish you.
I called the Travelers ins co when our apt was severely water damaged from an old cheap PVC water main pipe in our upstairs neighbors place. The fire dept came and it took them an hour to get it shut off from the under the street! 6 inches of water had to go somewhere and it poured through light fixtures, door frames, ceiling lights and even electrical outlets! We called and called as we sat at our neighbors next door for hours. NO ONE called us back. I called yet again and an older woman apologized that no one had called us back. She said I am so sorry, this has never happened before". In about half an hour, ** called.
He said go to a motel and stay there and pay for the night. We will reimburse you. Keep your receipts. An adjuster will call you tomorrow am and cut you a check for living expenses". Uh huh. Early next morning, a young man called and asked all of the same questions. I asked if he was coming by and he said no, Someone else will call you". She did. The insurance adjuster from hell! She again asked the very same questions. And when I asked if she was coming out and bringing us a check? (I am a single mom) She laughed and said mockingly" Oh, that's not going to happen"! Meet me at your place at 1pm today.
I repeated what her boss said and she said see you at 1. At 1 she was not here. She called to say she was 30 minutes away. She arrived 40 minutes late. She has consistently lied to me. A chronic liar to anyone here who has had any contact with her. 4 days later, she finally said she would meet me at our place at 4:30. I told her good, my bank closes at 5. She arrived at 4:55. The bank was closed. She awoke us the next AM to say do you still have that check? Of course I do. The bank was closed how could I possibly cash it? She ignored me and said she may need it back.
She called yet again and insisted my bank would not cash it and she had to put THEIR address on the check or she would get me another one. Check. She came by and was rude and she only hand printed MY ADDRESS on the same check. AFTER my $1,000 deductible, she gave me $705.00 to replace what she said she saw that was damaged. She pressured everyone involved where I live to give her my lease and said she had discussed it with me and I said she could have a copy. I told the office she lied. We NEVER discussed it. I asked her why she needed a copy of my lease and she said: "To establish that you have a relationship with your rental office".
She told me the next day it was so she could read what I am responsible for "..lied again. I was told to go back to my apt because it was ready 4 days later. IT was not. All of our furnishings were very wet. If you sat on a sofa, your clothes were damp and stuck to you! All mattress where going to "be cleaned". They were stained, wet, smelled of mold on the inside and were going to be "cleaned" at their restoration services warehouse". Stain master carpet cleaning co contacted me as her :restoration service. Unreal. She wanted to send them 2 irreplaceable, antique hand made Alaskan native jackets damaged by water and smelling bad in a closet.
She took pics. Something told me I had the right to take them where I wanted to take them to have them cleaned. She was miffed when I told her I would take them to a furriers myself as it needed an expert cleaner or be destroyed. You call a carpet cleaning co "expert restoration services"? Unreal. I told her our new bedding is not going to be washed in a warehouse by ** from Stain master and sprayed and " sanitized". NO way Jose! She said she is NOT going to replace our new Ikea sofa/sleeper as it was not in the direct way of the water showers. She had no explanation of why it got wet.
She also took out an additional $255.00 and change "deductible" for "depreciation" on our new bedding. The cost at time of purchase was $850.00 for my bedding and $900.00 for the mattress set and $300.00 for the sofa sleeper purchased in June 09. Total: $1950.00 She is going to send me app. $1,000.00 to replace it as our claim is OVER $2,500 we are only eligible for "depreciated" value. She was constantly trying to say we needed to keep the claim under this amount so we could get back :"replacement value". Of course we found out, if we put out the full amount for new bedding, they will reimburse us the FULL AMOUNT.
Her boss ** decided we could stay in a hotel 4 more nights. I have yet to be "reimbursed" for the first night there. We were supposed to be in our apt Monday and we should have been able to stay there till we move out, but the apt is falling down around us. There is mold growing on the outer walls and we can smell it everywhere in the air. It is in the walls. She can smell nothing and her sidekick from Stain Master, ** said" Oh the smell is not too bad" when he smelled my sons cleaned and hung clothing in his closet. It smells of black mold and like cigar smoke! Gross. He supposedly, had some hand held moisture reading device with him.
He said only 11% moisture in the wall that was wet and 3-D puffed out plaster. I took the handy and it read 158 by the damaged wall. I then put it away from that spot and it read 51. A big difference but he kept insisting that there was NO moisture or WATER in that wall. What a liar. We could feel it in the wet gypsum hanging inside the wall where it fell in. He is on her payroll. And I guess due to the economy, people are not getting their rugs cleaned and are cleaning their own rugs with Rug Doctor instead! They are all crooks, liars and rip off thieves. We are going to- twitter this too. NO ONE in the co gives a rats ass what happens to you.
Who screws you and how they lie to you. After calling customer service yesterday and filing a complaint, the adjuster from hell named **. said snottily "Oh I my boss ** told me you filed a complaint. He is going to call you about that" Was that a threat Ms. Military? Bring it on. ** called in 5 minutes and he was asking what did you say to them? He said he would call me back. he did not. I called him later, after the home inspection fiasco. I was told he was on another line and would call me back. He was talking to his employee ms hell adjuster on her cell phone in our parking lot and he never did call me back.
They are dirty, dishonest and will put the screw to you anyway they can is my experience. She is also harassing the computer repair shop and we were told she grilled the owner at length. She gave us only $400.00 for a $1680.00 repair est. And he is the most affordable honest guy in town! He finally told her he had to go. She asked if she could ask him " a few questions" and went on and on and on about it. He said I have to go I have a business to run. She told me yesterday she called him many times on his phone, and left him e-mail messages repeatedly but has never heard from him!
He said she is lying because he just talked to her by phone at 1 yesterday and she left him ONE message on his web sight. ONE and that was also just yesterday at 11. The very day at 4 she told me she "never heard back from him". What a bunch of crooks! I will take this a step higher. I asked her for the corporate number and she told me she did not know it. I asked her for the number of the insurance commissioners office. She had no clue. So, we fight a good fight and we shall prevail because in the end, it all comes out in the wash and we all reap what we sow.
P.O. B. 10891, CHANTILLY, 20153, VIRGINIA -- Initially when I filed my claim with Travelers there was a slight disconnect concerning which claims adjuster was assigned to my claim. However, within a day or so it was resolved, and my claim was assigned to a claim representative for the VA-DC Service Center Claim Services, whom after working with her as closely as I have, I believe that she is the best, effective, most efficient, and detail oriented Claim Representatives in the VA-DC Service Center.
Although, she stayed focused on the job at hand, she was extremely compassionate with respect to both my loss and the emotional trauma of my loss, as well as the impending ordeal that from her experience she felt as a single woman, 70 years old, living alone and suffering from PRM/RA that I might encounter. Although, her objective was to process my claim with urgency, she was extremely patient with me. She kept me informed of everything step by step, and assured that I understood what each phase of the process was, and continued to make herself available either in person, by phone, or by email to assure that any and every question that I posed was answered.
But, I had to draw the line when she advised that she would be on vacation and offered to check her Email for any follow-ups I may have had. I insisted that she works hard enough on Travelers time, that I would not allow her to keep that option open to me in that short window that she had for herself to relax.
Subsequently, I unfortunately had a very unsettling experience and was outraged with the poor quality of service that I received from one of their vendors: EVANS Garment and Restoration Mid-Atlantic, who destroyed more than $8,000 worth of my property and marked many of them UNACCEPTABLE so I would have had to pass the loss on to Travelers to pay for garments that they damaged and/or destroyed in their MD Plant.
However, although it was outside of the scope to Travelers responsibility to my claim, with the support and guidance from her manager, in an effort to resolve this arduous dispute, and make me whole, she set-up several meetings with the EVANS Garment and Restoration, VP, which ultimately proved in the end to be of no avail, and my Claim Representative's manager informed me that Travelers values its policyholders and would make every effort to make me whole and offered and agreed to reimburse my loss, and pursue reimbursement from EVANS at their own expense, as well as use the detailed evidence and oversight that I provided to make the necessary internal recommendations within the Travelers chain-of-command to assure that.
Henceforth Travelers Policyholders will not be subjected to the level of gross damage, negligence and mishandling of a claim by a vendor that I suffered from EVANS Garment and Restoration -- whom as an aside represents itself as an ISO 9001 certified company with superior quality management processes. Notwithstanding, none of which at any level of EVANS operations measured up to the performance or administrative management of what I later discovered are used and practiced by older more established, and family owned and operated garment restoration companies in the industry.
I call my insurance company (Aug 2009) (Claim # **) about possible hail damage to my roof from the April 2009 hail storm in my area and a leak in my living room near my fire place. Travelers sent out an adjuster who checked the roof and stated that I did have some hail damage but not enough to replace the roof and that my roof should last me another five years. He stated that they (Travelers) would pay that have the sealing and the living room repainted. I have checked with many contractors and found out that the wet sheep-rock needs to be replaced and I know an insurances company would know that because wet sheep-rock causes mold and other health issues.
A few weeks later (Sept. 2009) we had a flood here in the Powder Springs Georgia area and my roof began to leak heavily in that same spot in the living room and a second leak began in my master bath room. I again call my insurance company to make a claim (Claim# **). My septic system also began to over- flow into my home due to the flood. Again an adjuster came out did his assessment and a few weeks later a received a check in the mail from Travelers for $630.06. This check was to cover the repairs cost of my living minus the $500.00 dollar deductible. The real cost to repair my living room is $2,250.00 dollars. This check is $1,120.00 short to make the correct repairs to my living room.
Travelers paid nothing to repair or replace my roof. To add insult to injury a few weeks later, I received a letter from Travelers that stated that I had 45 days to repair the roof or they were going to drop the coverage on my home. I want you to keep in mind that I just paid over $4,000.00 dollars to repair my septic system which was not covered by my insurance. So I now paid an additional $1,200.00 to have my leaking roof repaired.
My complaint is this, my roof still leaks. I have had 4 different contractors inspect my roof and they all state that I have hail damage and the roof needs to be replaced. My insurance company is stalling on replacing my roof. I wrote the a letter (Oct 2009) to Travelers stating that I was going to file a formal complaint with the insurance commission and receive a phone call about a week later.
In Nov 2009, I spoke with ** who stated that they (travelers) wanted my roof inspected by a structural engineer with a P. E. certification and that they would send one. I told Travelers that I would find my own P. E. for a non-bias opinion as to the condition of my roof. Structural engineer with a P. E. certification are very hard to find but I found one, **. Travelers did not want to pay up front for the P. E. ** to come inspect my roof. Most P. E.'s are independent contractors and need to get paid as soon as the work is completed and not wait on an insurance company to get around to payment.
Again Travelers offered to send out a P. E. and again I decline. So, now I had to find a second structural engineer with a P. E. certification and I did but this time I found him ** and paid out of my pocket yet another $350.00 to get the roof inspection done. My roof has been leaking for 6 months now and my insurance company is still dragging their feet, even after the P. E. inspection. At this time, weeks later with an inspection from a structural engineer with a P. E. certification in hand my roof still leaks.
My history: I am a retired Army Non-Commissioned Officer, with combat experience with 10% disability. I have earned the right to be respected and to take care of my family. We have 11 people living in my home due to the hard economic times. I have my 3 children and 6 grandchildren living in my house. Some have health issues like asthma, allergies and other breathing issues. Travelers came and inspected the leak in my living room and gave me money to paint over the leak and nothing to repair or replace the leaking roof. We all know that wet sheep-rock causes mold and mold causes health issues.
That issue alone is disrespectful to me and my family and shows a careless response to a real health issue. I have never been this frustrated in my entire life. I have paid travelers insurance for the past 8 years and never filed a claim. The one claim I filed for a leaking roof, I get the run around. If I am not mistaken we buy insurance to cover issues with the home cause by weather and other dynamics sources. All I want is what I pay for and that is quality service. I am very disappointed in the service I have received regarding my roof and disappointed in the entire insurance industry.
I feel that one of two things needs to happen and happen quickly. One Travelers insurance company pony up and replace my roof or reimburse me my 8 years of insurance premiums and I will replace my own roof. I think it would be extremely unfair if they (Travelers) get to keep my money and I have to come out of my pocket for an additional $9,700.00 to replace my roof after I have already come out of pocket for $5,550.00 for home repairs due to the floods and unnecessary inspections. If I can-not get this issue resolved soon, I will have to pursue a lawyer and move to sue Travelers for lack of service. I have also filled a written complaint with the Georgia State Insurance Commission.
KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE -- Their computer systems are NOT reliable and NOT user friendly: programs are extremely slow, freeze, and continually crash; multiple programs & systems are used when they could be combined and streamlined; layout and input of information is scattered and different for each system; navigation keys are different for each system; systems do not communicate with each other, e. g. a policy change will not update the billing system for several days; information in computer does not match information on declarations pages sent to customer; customers are continually having problems viewing/printing emails and online documents; information that the customer sees online does not match information that customer service sees.
Company policies & procedures don't make sense: policies & procedures are purposely vague and generic (which makes it impossible for customer service to give a firm answer); discounts do not have a set percentage and vary for each customer; deleting an auto coverage does not remove the stated premium amount for that coverage, e. g., if collision coverage for a vehicle costs $100.00 and it is deleted the customer may only save $80.00 because the cost for the other coverage goes up.
Home policies may be canceled for the most minor reasons (one of my co-workers showed me a letter where we threatened someone because when our inspector stopped by there was a ladder leaning against the house); no emails or phone calls will made to a customer who is in danger of cancellation or having a bill sent to collections all communication is done via letter; and many others I don't have time to list. Overall I would recommend getting insurance somewhere else.
FORT WASHINGTON, MARYLAND -- No wonder their insurance is cheap compared to others, that's because it's the worst you can think of when it comes to services and getting your claim resolved. I had a water linkage in my home on August 3rd, and today is November 1st and yes, the claim has still not been resolved.
First of all, their claim agents never return calls or emails, and never give you updates on the status of the claim. Its been a fight and struggle trying to get updates on the claim. They informed me that the claim was approved, started the first phase of work and once the received estimate from the contractors on the second phase they refused to cover. For those thinking of travelers as their insurance, all I can say is good luck... cause when you do need them, they are never there. Cheaper is not always better.
GLENS FALLS, NEW YORK -- I just turned 18 in November, so when I got my first car in July, I had trouble finding the cheapest company. I finally found a broker (Barry Scott, Central Ave) that put my into the NYS Insurance "pool", where I was picked up by Travelers at a nice $278 a month for minimum coverage (that was sarcasm by the way, but I'm a young male, I get it). My parents don't drive, by the way. Problem number one soon occurs. Since I was under 18, I needed an adult to be co-signed on the insurance. I finally got my dad's name on the registration, something I didn't know was possible, and handed it in to the broker and got it faxed to Travelers. OK, pretty stressful but I got through it.
Things went well for the next few weeks, around October, until I started getting letters from Travelers stating I owed $3,195 or I wouldn't have insurance, along with a letter from the DMV stating they never received my electronic binder... come to think of it, I never received PROOF OF INSURANCE. Whatever. A bit confused. I call my mom and she sends me receipts of her payments, in fact, she paid until December 2011. I head to the broke and find out that Travelers picked up my uncle on the policy (I live with my uncle, turns out he was picked up on the policy with no notice given at all).
The broker calls Travelers and they calmly explain how all they need is a copy of my uncles proof of insurance and he'll be removed and they'll send the electronic binder in the mail to the DMV (had to be done within 7 days or my license was to be suspended). Frustrated, but I got through it.
November 25th, today: I come home from working a stressful Black Friday to 2 lovely letters, one from Travelers stating I owe $446, an imaginary $446 might I add, since my Mom has paid until January 2012, which she has proof from, and a letter from the DMV with the lovely words "Suspension Order" in bold and all capitals. Lovely timing to get the letter, with Travelers being closed on the weekend (can't call them) and the DMV being closed over the weekend (have to miss classes on Monday morning to head to the DMV to explain everything).
I'm officially confused, as they send no letters explaining what's going on. Everyone's lost, even my broker, yet my Mom has paid her money and my license is being threatened with suspension. Travelers, you really know how to turn a nice guy into a jerk. Happy Holidays, you confusing, greedy pigs. Never will I refer business your way and I'm changing companies as soon as possible.
At the end of June of 2010 I was on my boat on a large lake in Southern Missouri. There was a storm and the boat was damaged. The entire inside of the boat was filled full of water, and the only thing that saved it was the flotation in it. I contacted my agent who told me to contact travelers. Travelers sent out their shipwright to take a look at the boat. I did not know where to take this boat to and asked the shipwright where to take it. He told me about a local marina. A week later, after not hearing anything from Travelers, I took the boat there, and asked them to do an estimate on the damages so I could send it in to Travelers.
My agent at the time told me that the cost of the estimate would be covered. I went out of state, and contacted the marina to see if anyone had been in to look at the boat. I was told by them that no one from travelers had been in. I contacted Travelers again, and they said they would send their shipwright down again. Part of the cost was that the marina wanted 8 hours (at 99.00 per hour) to drain the water out of the gas tank. When I came home I went to the marina, paid for the estimate and took the boat home. I again called travelers, and was told that they do not recommend anyone.
At that time I was told by their representative that they send a shipwright out to look over the item. He told me to take the boat to where ever I wanted the work done. I took the boat to a fiberglass shop and it sat there. The shop did the estimate on the glass work, and then took it to a marina they recommended for the rest of the work.
In September, I was told by Travelers that the representative that I had no longer was with the company and I would have another representative taking care of it. I told the fiberglass place to get the glass work done, and awaited the decision from Travelers on the rest of the damage. I told the fiberglass shop to get the work done since Travelers was not giving me authorization about the work. I had received a check which was not even close to the beginning damages. While the fiberglass work was getting done I was told that more fiberglass damage was found. Again the shipwright was to be sent out. I had also sent Travelers a copy of the second estimate for the other damage to the boat.
The marina had recommended that the motor be rebuilt, cables replaced due to corrosion, radio replaced, etc. Travelers rejected that estimate, and said they would not pay for it. The representative told me that the shipwright saw no corrosion damage on the items. How can they figure that out when a radio is under water and it is not damaged. The outboard stalls, and is not the same as before the incident. I have replaced the radio, and I am now replacing parts one at a time that they stated were not damaged in the storm. Needless to say I am not happy with them and have changed companies.
Here's a doosey for you. I think this apply to both the workers covered by Travelers and, their clients. BEWARE!!! Since this claim is till ongoing and, I do not trust these people at all! I am only going to give the overview and not get too specific. I was injured on the job and the claim was accepted as compensable some years ago. Since that time I have had a major back surgery, approved by Travelers.
Now, here's where it gets... strange to say the least. I have had to file multiple times, and will again here shortly, with my state's Workers Compensation Court in order to get Travelers to pay MILEAGE! Yes, MILEAGE! They have taken literally MONTHS to pay and only after having to go to mediation. They did not dispute that they owed it or that it was correct. They simply would not pay! This even after their attorney was basically given the claim to handle! LOL
Now, even stranger is that I offered to settle this claim. They offered me less than $2,000.00 out of the gate. This was to cover all medical expenses pertaining to my back for the next 30 years or so. Keep in mind I am still seeing a 2 doctors and on 3 different medications for the back.
Now, that's just a slap in the face yes? Well, get this... since they wouldn't even be reasonable nor let me see a pain doctor I went ahead and asked their surgeon to take out my hardware in an effort to get a better result on the pain. He petitioned the adjuster and lo and behold... it was APPROVED! Now, please explain to me why an insurance company would NOT pay even 1/2 of a settlement offered for me to pursue pain relief on my own and for them and their client to get completely out from under the claim but WILL approve a surgery that will cost over $150,000.00 + and potentially, could be MUCH more in the long term? Are they not out to SAVE money?
I can only guess at the reasoning behind this. And, if you have any ideas let me know. But, it must be either the adjuster is over-worked and simply not paying attention; that they are aggressively trying to drive up premiums on their clients(this is a major nationwide company in this case); or, they are simply hoping that I either back out of the surgery or, they wish to cause me pain for some reason. WATCH OUT for these guys! No matter the reasoning, or lack thereof, behind this absurd claim handling? They are a menace to both the injured worker and the companies they insure.
HOUSTON, CONNECTICUT -- I have been confronting Travelers Insurance for almost 5 years now. After agreeing to conservative treatment since 1992 without any issue with date of injury, cause of injury or anatomical site of injury they now drop coverage. In 2008 my condition had deteriorated to were more radical and of course more expensive treatment was suggested. They went into "delay, deny and wait for him to die" mode. Even though in the past they offered a settlement and paid for conservative treatments, now they dispute date of injury and anatomical site of injury and completely dropped coverage.
They denied change of physician after I moved 1000 miles. They denied post-op medication following a pre-approved procedure. CI Analyst denied travel reimbursement because she couldn't find location on Bing Maps and claims 143 X 56.5 = 81.02 and 81.02 X 2 =160.40! They have ordered and paid for four (4) M.R.I.s in attempts to deny coverage. They use disreputable physicians and reference M.D.s who are not in practice. They make fraudulent claims about my case. They refuse to put in writing what they say in a telephone conversation. In a just world this treatment would be criminal.
My condition has now deteriorated to the point that I am totally disabled and in constant pain. I have been unable to seek employment and was forced to move from my home. Because of my disability, my physical and emotional health have seriously deteriorated and I am on the verge of a breakdown. I am amazed how their employees can spend their days ruining peoples lives and sleep at night. I wonder what their excuse will be when they meet God.

WASHINGTON – Sexual assault has no place in the Defense Department, a senior Pentagon official said April 2, calling on the workforce to be part of the solution.
In a keynote address kicking off Aberdeen Proving Ground's observance of National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, acting Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Jessica L. Wright said sexual assault is a national issue that also affects the Defense Department's military and civilian workforce.
The theme for this year's observance — underscored in a message that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel sent to the Department's workforce today is, "We own it … we'll solve it … together."
"Although we address sexual assault in the month of April, this is an issue that needs to be addressed every day of our lives," Wright told an audience of service members and civilian employees.
The Defense Department is a microcosm of America, she added, where employees bring their values and how they were raised to the workforce.
"I often say if we're in Afghanistan and we (see) something unsafe, (or) not akin to the values we have grown up with, we would tell that person to stop what they're doing, because they're going to affect our well-being and their well-being," she said. "Yet when we are here in the United States, and we do something that's not akin to … values in a social network, sometimes we have a hard time crossing that boundary and saying, 'This affects the life of a service member or a civilian we work with, and it's inappropriate.'"
The Defense Department doesn't condone sexual assault, Wright said. "We don't tell jokes of a sexual nature, we don't condone unwanted sexual behaviors, and we clearly don't condone sexual assault."
Just as everyone knows people who drink a lot of coffee, exercise a great deal or are "Facebook junkies," Wright said, everyone also knows someone who doesn't live by the Defense Department's values and ethos.
"I ask that if you know that person, tell (him or her) to stop it, and make sure you report bad behavior should you see it," she said. "That's the only way we're going to stop it."
Wright said she joined the military in 1975 as a member of the Women's Army Corps, at a time when having a drink at the post club was condoned. "But in our military now, … we don't condone drinking (or) drinking and driving. We don't have those social things like we used to, because it's just not who we are," she said.
The military culture has changed radically with regard to drug and alcohol problems and racial tensions it had in the past, Wright said, adding that she doesn't see sexual assault any differently.
"I ask each and every one of you to take back a message with you today that says, 'Every single day, we don't condone (sexual assault),'" she said.

The discovery of a trampoline lodged 90 feet above the ground in the limbs of a tall pine tree gave National Weather Service ground surveyors some of their evidence, the agency reports, that a small tornado descended Monday night on Colton's Point.
The one-minute sweep by the twister rated at EF-0, the weakest category, likely came from a waterspout that crossed the Potomac River and reached the waterfront community at about 9 p.m. that day, according to an agency report, and the ground surveyors also found minor damage during their Tuesday visit to trees and roofs, including a few shingles blown off structures. A tree fell on power lines on Beach Road.
The trampoline went airborne from outside a residence next to the post office on Colton's Point Road, the agency reports, and two large wooden play sets were blown over, including one that was dragged about 15 feet.
No injuries were reported.

The Rise of Amsterdam's Food Film Festival
08 May 14
Joris Lohman
One night in January 2010, four friends and I sat around a kitchen table. The Youth Food Movement (part of the Slow Food Youth Network/SFYN) in the Netherlands had just taken off and we were eager to start up projects to change the way people think about food. We wanted to share stories of our food system: not only the problems that exist, but also the beauty and joy of a good meal. What better way to tell these stories than through film? That night, we came up with an idea: to create a festival that combines films, workshops, a great restaurant, a food market and, of course, music and parties. The Food Film Festival was born.
We had no idea where to start, no experience and no money. What followed was a year and a half of brainstorming ideas, sharing our plans with anyone who wanted to hear them, and searching for sponsors. When the first festival took place in Amsterdam in 2011 it was an unexpected success. More than 4000 visitors came to the event; with all the films, and workshops sold out, and the restaurant constantly packed: The Food Film Festival and SFYN were on the map!
From the beginning, we set our ambitions high. We wanted to create the world's most important festival dedicated to food and film, build an annual stage for the food movement in the Netherlands and show people that the movement for good, clean and fair food is a political movement that means business. We wanted to bring together chefs, food professionals and food producers, as well as Slow Food and SFYN members from across the globe – our own little Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre.
Four years on, many of our dreams have come true. The fourth edition of the Food Film Festival will take place from May 9-11 in a new and bigger location in Amsterdam, de Westergasfabriek. We are expecting around 10,000-15,000 visitors, who will be able to indulge themselves in a diverse program. Highlights will include a keynote speech by innovative farmer Joel Salatin, star of Michael Pollan's books; a debate on fisheries, in collaboration with a young fishers organization; and an interactive show co-organized by Birdlife. Visitors will also have the chance to book amazing lunch experiences, prepared by the legendary Pourcel brothers and other young rising stars of Dutch cuisine. A pop-up restaurant, which will be run by Joris Bijdendijk, the Netherlands' youngest Michelin star chef and member of the Slow Food Chef Alliance, will also be serving-up reasonably priced food throughout the festival.
Having seen that a small group of people, with no experience whatsoever, were able to build this popular event, and the community surrounding it, has really strengthened my belief that with the right amount of creativity, perseverance and a lot of hard work, in our own special way, we can change the world.
Joris Lohman is the leader of the Slow Food Youth Network (SFYN) in the Netherlands, co-founder of the Food Film Festival and member of the Executive Committee of Slow Food International.

Recipe by Bonnie
"Layered dessert that should, in theory, feed a lot of people! I know it's not a typical cake, but I think it's better than that! And it really does feed a lot of people!"

1 1/2 cups
heavy cream
1/4 cup
white sugar
2 (8 ounce) packages
cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons
lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
1/2 cup
white sugar
1 (10.75 ounce) package
prepared pound cake
2 (10 ounce) packages
frozen raspberries, thawed
2 tablespoons
unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
This is really a great recipe as is, but I like to experiment and have had some good results with both the original and my own modifications (friends pleading for recipe is a good sign!).
I used two 8-oz. packages of mascarpone cheese, plus one 8 oz. package of cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, and several tablespoons of fresh lemon juice as modifications to the cream cheese mixture. Also increased heavy cream to 2 cups. Folded 1 1/2 bars (6 oz.) of shaved Ghirardelli white chocolate to the combined cream mixture as a last step in that process.
Omitted the cocoa dusting.
Fresh,homemade poundcake works best and is worth the time. Used 1 1/2 loaves.
For raspberries, thawed and crushed (with juice) 1 1/2 10 oz. packages and mixed with approximately 1 cup of raspberry liqueur (Razzmataz). Used this mixture to generously cover each pound cake layer. It was more like a cold compote, but delicious.
Used 1 pint of fresh raspberries (3 total) for each of the berry layers, saving about a dozen to garnish the top.
This was WAY too sweet. I'm from a british background and I know my Nana would push her plate away after the first bite. If I do this again (which is doubtful), I would half the sugar in the cream cheese mixture and not sweeten the cream at all. Also, I would double the frozen berries. This trifle was very, very dry. In traditional trifle, the sponge cake is supposed to be saturated in liquid. A very dissapointing dessert.

Instead of the cream cheese mixture, I used a large box of instant vanilla pudding to cream with the whipped cream mixture. I did dribble a little liquer on the angel food cake. The pudding made it real easy to make and my whole Mothers Day party was in awe. Very yummy and very easy and very fast to make.
I just made this for a dinner party we're going to tonight and put some off to the side for my husband and I to try in case it didn't work out. I couldn't wait to write a review! WOW!! We both loved it and it hasn't even set yet for the 4 hours in the refridgerator as suggested!
A couple of things I did: I used 3, 8oz pkgs of cream cheese as others suggested and increased the sugar and other ingredients accordingly. I also used 2 cups heavy cream as other suggested. I used regular pound cake from the store and drizzled grand marnier over the slices. Instead of using cocoa, I used dark chocolate chunks sold in the baker's isle. For the raspberries, I used 2, 12 oz frozen packages. As they were thawing, I added about 1/4 cup of water so I would have more syrup to pour over the cake slices, and sprinkled the raspberries with sugar. On the top, I garnished with a couple of raspberries and dark chocolate chunks and then did sift just a little bit of cocoa on the top layer only. YUMMY! And it looks fabulous in the trifle dish. If the others at the party like it half as much as we did, it will be a huge hit. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Made this for our 4th of July party and it was a hit! Prepared the recipe in an 8 x 11 casseroll dish and not a trifle bowl. Decorated the top with fresh raspberries, blueberries and red colored sugar. Will definitely be a regular at my house!
Oh my gosh! This recipe is so easy and tastes great! I used blueberries with the raspberries. Next time, I might do more of the cream cheese mixture. I was almost out by the time I got to the top layer. I had guys asking me for the recipe to give to their wives :)
I made this recipe and added layers of shaved chocolate. I didn't use the cocoa as I was out. It was very good! Will definitely do again.
This is a very good and easy recipe. We have tons of raspberries growing in our back yard every year, and this gave me a new and tasty way of using them.

This is no accident: McCall Smith has long been fascinated by Auden. Indeed, the novelist, best known for his No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, calls the poet not only the greatest literary discovery of his life but also the best of guides on how to live. In this book, McCall Smith has written a charming personal account about what Auden has done for him—and what he just might do for you.
Part self-portrait, part literary appreciation, the book tells how McCall Smith first came across the poet's work in the 1970s, while teaching law in Belfast, a violently divided city where Auden's "September 1, 1939," a poem about the outbreak of World War II, strongly resonated. McCall Smith goes on to reveal how his life has related to and been inspired by other Auden poems ever since. For example, he describes how he has found an invaluable reflection on life's transience in "As I Walked Out One Evening," while "The More Loving One" has provided an instructive meditation on unrequited love. McCall Smith shows how Auden can speak to us throughout life, suggesting how, despite difficulties and change, we can celebrate understanding, acceptance and love for others.
An enchanting story about how art can help us live, this book will appeal to McCall Smith's fans and anyone curious about Auden.
This event is endowed in memory of Edith and James Fishel.

Alexander McCall Smith was born in what is now Zimbabwe and taught law at the University of Botswana. He is now Professor of Medical Law at the University of Edinburgh. He has written more than fifty books, including a number of specialist titles, but is best known for The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, which has achieved bestseller status on four continents. In 2004 he was awarded British Book Awards Author of the Year and Booksellers Association Author of the Year. He lives in Scotland, where in his spare time he is a bassoonist in the RTO (Really Terrible Orchestra).

Best Uses
For those of us who are follicularly challenged this is a great addition to our winter wardrobe.
This cap is perfect to use to get to work, as well as on the golf course, doesn't interfere with the swing at all.
will order a more expensive one next time, if and when this one wears out.
Best Uses
Got these for my kids and they love them. Warm and have a retro look. Velcro for the ear flaps would be nice, and grommets for the ear holes, but neither are needed. Very nice product.
Best Uses
I bought this hat for my husband after buying three others that didn't keep his head warm when we walked our dogs. This is the only one that keeps his head and ears warm. For a more tight fit, the hat can be tied at the chin. On warmer days (above 32 degrees, the ear flaps can be flipped up. The only con that he mentioned is that sometimes it becomes too warm. :) Anyone wanting a hat that actually keep your head and ears warm, this may be the last one you need!
Best Uses
My 15 year old was using an ill fitting bomber hat for the last year and I saw that Duluth was selling one...so I purchased it thinking that maybe he will replace the one he has with this new one. He was thrilled. The fit and warmth are great. I just watched him walking home from High School the other day with it on...and when I said "Wow..you must really like that hat" and he said "I love it!"
Used this hat this first snowfall when i cleaned up the driveway and couldn't believe how well it performed. I live in a very windy area and usually have problems with hats but this one worked great. Finally a hat that keeps you warm and protects from the wind. Wearing it tonight along with my Duluth Goose Down Jacket to watch the Patriots beat the Ravens and head to the superbowl in Foxboro BTW its 19 degrees with 40 mile an hour wind gusts and ill be the warmest person there! Go Pats!!!
Best Uses
Great for winter time, the fleece is soft and keeps your head warm when it gets chilly. The flaps are movable, it has two small ones on the side and the big one on the front on top of the side-ear flaps that you can tie up or down if it get's too hot or cold. As for the sizing, just follow the direction about measuring your head and you should be fine. All and all, i'm very happy with my purchase.
I bought these hats as a Christmas gift to my son and his girlfriend who are doing an internship on a farm in the Berkshires. They said the hats are a godsend and they are finally warm and toasty in their Firehose pants, jackets & hats...thanks Duluth!
Best Uses
Bought them for my grandkids who live at 8000 ft. mountain area and they love them and keep their ears and head warm.
Best Uses
We get a lot of wind here and my knit watch caps feel like cheesecloth. This cap blocks the wind and provides excellent protection for my ears and neck- great for snowblowing. Looks to be well made and should last for a long time. If you get too warm the ability to tie up the flaps is a real plus.
The only downside is that my wife likes it as much as I do- I may have to buy another.

"I donate to the University of Idaho because that's where I got my opportunities. That's where I met my wife and all the great things that have happened to me got started there," said Gary G. Michael, '62.
From his humble beginnings working on his uncle's ranch in rural Montana, Michael rose to chairman and CEO of Albertson's, Inc., sitting on the boards of directors of several multinational corporations to his current role as Chairman of the Board of IDACORP, Inc., parent company of Idaho Power.
Michael also answered the call from his alma mater and stepped in as interim president at the University of Idaho 2003-04. He shepherded the building of University of Idaho Boise to completion with a generous donation and a tribute to his wife of 50-plus years, Meryle Kay, '63.
Located in the Idaho Water Center, the Legacy Pointe multi-media conference room, also called "Mert's Room" is a showcase venue for the University's Boise center, where a number of alumni, student recruitment and community events are held.
Michael is a firm believer in giving back.
"Certainly I grew up in an environment at Albertson's with Joe Albertson and Warren McCain, and you were expected to participate in community activity," he said. "You were expected to give back. And I just always felt this obligation (to the University) but I knew it was going to be money well spent. Anytime you can give somebody the opportunity to go to school in higher education, I think you can make a difference.
"When I was interim president it struck me that the two things that really needed support in the future were scholarships and faculty endowments. In order to get the best students, we've got to have the best faculty. If we're going to continue to be a premier school, we're going to have to enhance the kind of package we can offer.
"You cannot get through school on your own today the way it used to be," he said. "I get people telling me all the time, 'Well I went to school and I worked my way through.' Well, that was fine in those times, but it doesn't work today. It takes longer and it takes more resources – and those of us who have those resources and have got this great life because of our start at the University of Idaho, we need to step up and make sure that these young people have the opportunity to be as successful as we've been."

When you're trying to scare someone, sound is very important.

An outdoor aquatic center is coming to the Jorgensen Family YMCA next summer.
The YMCA branch, 10313 Aboite Center Road, made the announcement Tuesday. The $1.8 million project is expected to be in operation by summer 2013. It will feature six 25-foot lap lanes, beach entry with a splash-zone play area, toddler pool with a Cascades Discovery Fountain, zip line, snack shop and easy access from both inside and outside the Y facility.
Construction plans will include a playground, picnic area, water slide and climbing wall.
The new center is being funded by a donation from the Parkview Physicians Group and will be called the Parkview Physicians Group Outdoor Aquatics Center.
"This outdoor aquatic center will enhance our ability to develop character in young people, help seniors prolong their independence, and support health in spirit, mind and body for people of all ages and from all walks of life," said Martin Pastura, president and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne.
