- Remove the lid plug and pour cream and vinegar through the lid plug opening.
- Blend for 30-60 seconds or until smooth. Return to pot and repeat with remaining soup.
- Taste for seasoning. Add meatballs, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with crispy sage.
This recipe has been written for the C-Series machines with Variable Speed control and Standard 64-ounce container. If you are using a different Vitamix machine or container size, you may need to make adjustments to the Variable Speed, processing time, and/or ingredient quantities.

A US F-16 warplane and a military helicopter have forced down a small aircraft over the eastern coast of Florida, where President Barack Obama was vacationing with friends. The small Cessna 152 private plane was intercepted Saturday morning by an F-16 jetfighter and a US Coast Guard helicopter and escorted away from "a temporary restricted flight zone" near the site where Obama was vacationing, US Army Lt. Col. Mike Humphreys was quoted as saying in local press reports. No further information was released about the Cessna 152 aircraft that entered the restricted zone while Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials announced in a statement that the incident, and whether the small plane entered the area over Florida's Treasure Coast, is under probe. News reports have cited a description of temporary flight restrictions on the FAA's website as saying that the section of Florida airspace will be closed until Monday for "VIP Movement." Meanwhile, White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporter on Friday that Obama was looking forward to spending the President's Day holiday weekend with 'a group of friends' in Florida. "I'm sure they'll take advantage of the opportunity to play some golf," Earnest said. MFB/MFB

NORTHBROOK, Ill., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a global leader in drinking water quality and safety, announced today a new certification program to help manufacturers of cooking and plumbing related products demonstrate compliance with new, stricter low lead requirements that will be mandatory in California and Vermont starting Jan. 1, 2010.
California Assembly Bill 1953 (AB 1953), now a state law, was passed in order to update section 116875 of the California Health & Safety Code. The law requires no more than 0.2 percent lead by weight in solder and flux used in the installation or repair of any public water system or any residential or nonresidential facility that provides water for human consumption. AB 1953 also requires no more than a weighted average of 0.25 percent lead by weight when used with respect to the wetted surfaces of pipes and pipe fittings, plumbing fittings and fixtures.
UL's new certification program will test materials to demonstrate compliance to both the California Health and Safety Code and similar legislation in Vermont. It will allow manufacturers that are required to demonstrate compliance with the California Health and Safety Code, but are not covered by or specifically included in Annex G of ANSI/NSF 61, to obtain the proper product safety certification.
"UL is giving manufacturers their first option of demonstrating compliance with new low lead laws using a means other than Annex G. We decided not to wait for Annex G to be updated or the creation of a new standard to offer our valued customers California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)-recognized product validation," said Jeff Smith, general manager, UL Global Water Business. "Now, manufacturers can quickly and efficiently navigate the compliance processes recognized by the DTSC and required by state law."
UL will continue to support the industry by providing certificatio

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the hospital management systems market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes StatCom with the 2008 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Healthcare Technology Innovation of the Year for its development of a hospital operations system that enables all patients to collectively flow at their best possible rate, with regard to service, quality, safety, and resource consumption.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081117/FSLOGO)
Although hospitals have systems to manage their finances and clinical data, they do not have a system to execute dynamically prioritized patient flow actions spanning the entire hospital. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) Leadership Standard LS.184.108.40.206 -- issued in 2004 and in effect from 2005 -- address this need for more effective patient management throughout the system.
Dr. Robert A. Wise, JCAHO vice president for standards, notes that while the emergency department is a vulnerable area when patient flow issues occur, the improvements needed lie in organization-wide changes rather than changes solely in the emergency department. This observation is reiterated by Dr. Kirk B. Jensen, Flow Expert Host for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), who feels hospital flow challenges are compounded by a significant variation in patient flow within and across the different micro-systems in a hospital, where people have to make minute-by-minute decisions in isolation without knowing its impact on hospital-wide patient flow.
StatCom's hospital operating system resolves this issue by enabling
hospitals to orchestrate cross-departmental flow for all patients
simultaneously with respect to service, quality, safety, and resource
consumption criteria. Combined

William J. Reuter
Thank you, Abe and good morning everyone. Thank you for joining us for our review of first quarter results for 2009. Also participating in today's call will be Drew K. Hostetter, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Michael M. Quick, Executive Vice President and Chief Corporate Credit Officer.
As we begin, I'd like to recap the financial results we released yesterday.
Net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter was $1.9 million or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $28 million for the first quarter of 2008 or $0.33 per diluted share.
Our results were impacted by a number of factors that we will discuss this morning, including the industry wide increased FDIC insurance payments, a decrease in net interest margin and an increase in our provision for loan losses.
Net loans and leases were $9.8 billion, an increase of 10% when compared to March 31, 2008. This included increases across the board in our loan portfolio, including commercial loans, commercial real estate and residential real estate lending. Looking at just the first quarter of 2009, we saw a more modest pace of growth.
However, total net loans and leases grew 1% from December 31, 2008. Total deposits were 9.1 billion, an increase of 3% compared to March 31, 2008, with non-interest bearing demand deposits increasing 1% during the period.
In just the first quarter of 2009, total deposits increased 1%, from December 31, 2008. However, core deposits, such as demand, interest bearing demand and savings increased 3%, 10% and 5% respectively.
Higher cost time deposits and jumbo time deposits including brokered CDs decreased 2% 12% respectively. Net interest margin for the quarter was 3.4%, a decrease of 31 basis points from first quarter, 2008 and a 12 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2008.
In light of the current interest rate environment, we have initiated a focused effort to increase our net interest margin while enhancing key customer relationships. Where necessary, we're making use of lower cost borrowing options and maintaining funding levels for loan growth.
In addition, we have seen some increase in balances and traditional products such as money market accounts as customers seek safety and security while maintaining ready access to their funds.
Higher deposit pricing initiative helped us to generate a 12 basis point reduction in our cost of funds during the first quarter.
As the economic recession continue to place pressure on some of our customers, we saw deterioration in credit volume. Net charge offs, as a percent of average loans and leases for the first quarter, were 70 basis points compared to 25 basis points in the first quarter of 2008 and 60 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Article ID: 944886 - View products that this article applies to.
On This Page
When you send a file to a client computer from a Web server on which Internet Information Services (IIS) 7 or IIS 6 is installed, you may receive an error message on the client computer that resembles one the following:
Error message 1
HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error
Error message 2
Response object error 'ASP 0251 : 80004005'
Response Buffer Limit Exceeded
Execution of the ASP page caused the Response Buffer to exceed its configured limit.
Error message 1Additionally, you may receive a message in the IIS log file that resembles the following:
This problem occurs when you use the Response.BinaryWrite method to send the file to the client computer and the AspBufferingOn property is set to False.
This problem occurs because IIS enforces a default Active Server Pages (ASP) response buffer value of 4 MB when ASP response buffering is disabled.
In most scenarios, the 4 MB buffer limit is sufficient for ASP responses that are sent to Web clients. If this limit is insufficient, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Decrease the response sizeTo resolve this issue when you use the Response.BinaryWrite method and ASP buffering is turned off, verify that the data that is returned to the client is not larger than 4 MB.
If the response is larger than the 4 MB default value, this size frequently causes a poor user experience. The Web browser must receive the large response over the network. Then, the Web browser must parse and display a very large HTML response.
Method 2: Enable ASP response buffering, and increase the buffer limitIn IIS 6, you can use the AspBufferingOn IIS metabase property to enable or disable buffering at the application level. For more information about the AspBufferingOn IIS metabase property, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/fbe1bd5f-52d4-4a26-8ab1-7bb897bb3d53.mspxNote In IIS 7, you can enable or disable ASP response buffering at the application level by using the bufferingOn value in the ASP section of <System.webserver> in the ApplicationHost.config file or in the Web.config file.
To enable or disable buffering at the page level, you can use the Response.Bufferproperty.
If you must increase the buffer limit, select a buffer limit that allows for the largest known response size. If you do not know the largest response size in advance, you can increase the buffer limit to a large value during testing. After you finish testing, use the largest value that appears in the sc-bytes field in the IIS log file for the response that is generated for the page.
To increase the buffering limit in IIS 6, follow these steps:
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
More information
When you use the Response.BinaryWrite method and ASP response buffering is disabled, you can only send 4 MB of data to the client unless the buffering limit property for the page is explicitly set. By default, the value for the ASPBufferLimit property in IIS 6 and for the bufferLimit property in IIS 7 is 4,194,304 bytes.
Additionally, the BinaryWrite() API fails if the response to the client is larger than the buffer limit value even though ASP response buffering is turned off.
Note We recommend that you enable ASP response buffering. ASP response buffering increases the performance of a Web application.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV), either alone or in combination with Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), constitutes a major public health concern. This study was conducted to describe the prevalence and risk factors for HCV infection in people with and without HIV infection.
Blood samples and data on socio-demographic and risk factors for HCV infection were collected from consecutive 400 HIV- positive and 400 HIV- negative individuals attending HIV testing centers in Hawassa city, from October to December, 2008. All sera were tested for antibody to HCV infection (anti-HCV) using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Sera positive for anti-HCV were further tested for viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels using real-time polymerase chain reaction.
The rate of anti-HCV positivity was 10.5% in the HIV- infected individuals compared with 6% in the HIV negative group (p = 0.002). HCV-RNA was detected in 9.1% of anti-HCV positive samples and rates were comparable between HIV- infected and HIV- non-infected individuals. There was no significant difference in odds of HCV infection in participants with and without HCV risk factors in either HIV sero-group.
HIV infected individuals had significantly higher rate of anti-HCV although most of them showed no evidence of viraemia. Hence, while priority should be given for HIV infected patients, testing those with anti-HCV for HCV-RNA remains important.
Keywords:Prevalence; hepatitis C virus; human immunodeficiency virus; co- infection
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) represents a major public health burden in both industrialized and developing countries. The prevalence of HCV infection is estimated to be 2.2-3.0% (130-170 million people) worldwide [1]. Region-specific estimates range from < 1.0% in Northern Europe to > 2.9% in Northern Africa, with the highest prevalence (15%-20%) reported in Egypt [2]. About 15 to 20% of HCV infections progress to potentially serious cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease [3]. Due to shared mode of transmission, co-infection of HCV and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has become a growing public health concern. Among the estimated 40 million individuals infected with HIV worldwide, about 4-5 million are chronically infected with HCV [4]. Prevalence and mode of transmission of each of the two viral infections are the main determinants of co-infection rate, and vary according to the geographic region. For instance, co-infection is high in patients that acquire the viruses through parenteral routes compared with those infected through sexual route [5].
In Ethiopia, a previous population-based survey had reported a moderate prevalence (2%) of HCV infection [6]. However, information is scarce regarding the rate of HIV-HCV co-infection in our setting where HIV is prevalent. This study was conducted to describe the prevalence and risk factors for HCV infection in people with and without HIV infection.
A sero-prevalence study of HCV was conducted in people with and without HIV infection attending HIV testing centers (Hawassa Referral Hospital, Hawassa Health Centre, Organization for Social Services for AIDS (OSSA), and Beth-Zeta Hospital) from October to December, 2008. These centers are located in Hawassa, the capital city of the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Regional State and one of the administrative regions in Ethiopia. The centers provide voluntary HIV counseling and testing services using two approaches: a client-initiated approach to serve people seeking to know their HIV status, and a provider-initiated approach which enables health care provider offer targeted medical services. Clients who are tested HIV positive are usually referred to the Hawassa Referral Hospital. Clinical and immunological assessments (CD4+ T cell count) at enrollment and at six-monthly follow-up visits identify those who are eligible for anti-retroviral therapy (ART). Those receiving ART monitor their disease status on a regular basis. Services including HIV counselling and testing, clinical and immunological assessments as well as ART are provided free of charge.
In this study, consecutive HIV-positive individuals who were at their first enrollment at the ART clinic as well as those who had been receiving ART for at least six months were recruited prospectively. Consecutive clients, who were tested HIV negative at any of the centers during the study period, were recruited for comparative purposes. The sample size was estimated using HCV prevalence rates of 4.5% and 0.8% in HIV-positive and HIV-negative subjects, respectively [7]. With 95% level of confidence and 80% power of the study, the required sample size would be 800 (400 individuals in each HIV sero-group). In both HIV sero-groups, only individuals aged 15 years and above were included. Among HIV-positive clients, those found with a CD4+ T cell counts below 50 cells/mm3 were excluded from the study due to the unreliability of HCV serological tests in a state of severe immunosuppression [8].
Counsellor nurses interviewed the study subjects using structured questionnaires on socio-demographic characteristics and risk factors of HCV infection such as history of traditional and modern medical practices, sexual practices, history of sexual transmitted infections (STIs), liver disease, and family history of liver disease. Remaining sera left from HIV testing and CD4+ T cell measurement were stored at -80°C for the purpose of HCV testing. All sera were screened at the Hawassa Referral Hospital laboratory for HCV antibody (anti-HCV) using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) (HUMAN anti-HCV ELISA, Germany). Sera found to be positive for anti-HCV were transferred in cold boxes to the International Clinical Laboratories in Addis Ababa where testing for viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (Abbott RealTime™ HCV) was performed. According to the manufacturer's guidelines, the real-time PCR test has detection sensitivity of a viral load as low as 12 IU/ml of serum. All samples were tested in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and in duplicates to ensure reproducibility. Despite the possibility that the ELISA test introduces false positive result, we interpreted a positive anti-HCV test as HCV-exposure. Presence of HCV-RNA indicates active viral replication.
Data entry and analysis were performed using SPSS Version-16. Descriptive summary was presented in terms of mean, range, and proportions depending on the scale of the variable. Pearson's Chi-square test was used to assess differences in proportion of anti-HCV marker between HIV-infected and HIV-non-infected individuals. The strength of association between HCV status and risk factors was measured by calculating odds ratios. A given statistical test was reported significant whenever it resulted in a p-value < 0.05.
The study was approved by the Ethics Committees of Aklilu Lemma Institute of Pathobiology, Addis Ababa University and the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Hawassa University. All participants gave informed written consent, and doctors managed HCV-positive cases.
Of the 402 HIV-positive and 404 HIV-negative individuals approached during the study period, 2 HIV-positive and 4 HIV-negative participants were excluded due to insufficient blood volume and refusal, respectively. The majority (94.7%) of HIV-infected participants were urban dwellers and married (48%) (Table 1). The mean age of HIV-infected participants was 31.7 years (range 18-70 years; SD 8.4) compared with 26.6 years (range 16-62 years; SD 7.3) in HIV- non-infected clients. The male to female ratio was 0.6:1 in HIV-positive and 0.9:1 in HIV-negative clients. Two-hundred (50%) HIV-infected participants were receiving ART.
Table 1. Socio-demographic characteristics of HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals at Hawassa HIV testing centers, 2008
The prevalence of anti-HCV in HIV-positive individuals was 10.5% compared to 6% in HIV-negative individuals (p = 0.002) (Table 2). A comparable rate of anti-HCV marker was observed in HIV-infected individuals with or without ART. HCV- RNA was detected in 6 (9.1%) of all 66 anti-HCV positive samples and viral load ranged from 31 IU/ml - 4.294 million IU/ml of serum. Rate of HCV- RNA was similar among anti-HCV- positive participants with or without HIV infection (7.1% versus 12.5%, respectively; p = 0.39), and in those HIV-infected with or without ART (5.3% versus 8.7%, respectively; p = 0.43).
Table 2. Distribution of anti-HCV and HCV-RNA in HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals at Hawassa HIV testing centers, 2008
The exposure of HIV-infected and HIV-non-infected participants to different risk factors for HCV infection is summarised in Table 3. Histories of ear piercing and tooth extraction were the most frequently reported exposures in both HIV sero-groups. Among females with HIV infection, 22.5% reported having a history of abortion. Sero- prevalence rate of anti-HCV was higher in HIV-infected participants who reported having multiple sexual partners. There was no significant difference in odds of HCV infection in participants with and without HCV risk factors in either HIV sero-group (Table 3).
Table 3. Anti-HCV positivity in relation to HCV risk factors in HIV-positive and HIV- negative individuals at Hawassa HIV testing centers, 2008
The sero-prevalence of anti-HCV was 10.5% in HIV-positive and 6% in HIV-negative individuals. None of the risk factors included in the analysis significantly increased the odds of HCV exposure. The rate of HIV-HCV co-infection in the present study was higher compared to findings in an earlier report which investigated residents of Addis Ababa (4.5%) [7]. Although we found a lower co-infection rate compared with developed nations [9,10], the magnitude of HCV in Ethiopia would become a concern as HIV is more prevalent in our settings.
Despite a weak association, we found a significant difference in rates of anti-HCV positivity between HIV-infected and HIV-non-infected individuals. In agreement, a previous report showed that HIV positive inhabitants in Addis Ababa had about five-fold rate of anti-HCV compared with HIV negative individuals [7]. However, associations between HCV and HIV infections in our settings were not as strong as those reported from industrialized countries where HIV can occur among HCV infected people exclusively [10,11].
Unlike most western countries, risk factors such as repeated transfusions, haemodialysis, or injection drug use are very rare in Ethiopia where transmission of HIV is primarily through heterosexual exposure [12]. While it remains to be fully established, rising evidences point to implications of sexual activity in HCV transmission [13]. Sexual transmission of HCV that might be facilitated by HIV and other STIs has also been reported [14,15]. Therefore, the role of sexual transmission should not be neglected as it may contribute to the higher rate of anti- HCV among HIV-infected individuals.
In the current study, the odds of HCV infection were not shown to be significantly affected by the exposure status of participants to various medical practices. This result contrasts with a finding from Egypt where risk factors including blood transfusion, invasive medical procedures, and frequent injections significantly increased the odds of HCV infection [16]. This may be due to the strength of risk factors varying according to HCV epidemiology in a given geographical area. Moreover, unlike a report from Brazil [13], our investigation as well as a previous study from Egypt [16] showed that the odds of HCV infection was not significantly higher in participants with tattoos or ear piercing compared with those without the respective risk factors in either HIV sero-groups.
HCV infection commonly takes achronic course and studies have reported viraemia persisting in over 80% of infected individuals [17,18]. In the present study, however, HCV-RNA was detected in 9.1% of anti-HCV positive individuals. Such a lower rate of HCV-RNA is unusual and points to a need for further investigation in our settings to confirm or challenge this finding. Factors such as intact immune status [19] and heterosexual HCV transmission [20] were suggested to contribute to varying rates of spontaneous HCV clearance in different geographical regions. In contrast, our study lacked enough power to assess whether factors such as demographic characteristics, routes of transmission, HIV and ART status were influencing rate of HCV clearance.
Findings in this study need to be interpreted in light of its methodological limitations. First, lost participants, who tested HIV positive at the centers and did not register at the ART clinic, may introduce selection bias. Second, there could be a survival bias as a result of deaths occurring among patients with viral hepatic C within the six months following the ART initiation. Third, lack of confirming ELISA positive test results using an immunoblot test might lead to misinterpretation of anti-HCV false positive results as HCV exposures.
In conclusion, HIV-infected individuals had significantly higher positivity rate of anti-HCV although most of them had no sign of viraemia. Hence, with priority given for HIV- infected patients, testing those with anti-HCV for HCV-RNA is important in order to manage HIV-HCV co-infected patients appropriately. Further studies on the epidemiology of HCV infection in our settings are imperative to plan intervention methods systematically.

Kaepernick, Niners prove resilient in victory
FOXBOROUGH -- It was more or less impossible to watch how the 49ers' 41-34 victory over the Patriots Sunday night played out, with two talented, tough and imperfect football teams trading blows, and wonder whether there may be a rematch in the making come February.
Not that anyone on the Niners, who built a 31-3 lead, watched it evaporate in less that a 15-minute stretch in the second half in which the Patriots scored 28 straight points, and then showed remarkable resolve behind young quarterback Colin Kaepernick in breaking the Patriots' 20-game December win streak at home, would admit to looking that far ahead.
"We're just going to keep working as a team and take one game at a time,'' said running back Frank Gore, who ran for 83 yards on 21 carries. "We've got another one next, a big game against Seattle, a great team that is playing great.''
But it was apparent that the magnitude of the victory, which locked up a playoff spot for the 10-3-1 Niners, was not lost on them.
"It's a huge task. It's a huge challenge,'' said coach Jim Harbaugh. "This environment, in December, not a lot of teams have been successful. Really only in the last 11, 12 years, only one team has been successful. So I'm immensely proud of our team for that."
Harbaugh apparently knows his Gillette Stadium history. The Patriots' only other December home loss since the stadium opened in 2002 was a 30-17 loss to the Jets that first season.
"As a coach, as a player, you love all these wins,'' he said when asked if this was the Niners' biggest regular-season win in his tenure. "This is a great win. Our team has played in a lot of big-time pressure games, they've overcome adversity. Shown they can do that. I used to live next to a train station in Chicago. The more you hear the train, the less you hear it. I feel that way with our team in terms of pressure in big games. The more you hear it, the less you hear it. The more you feel it, the less you feel it.''
Harbaugh had high praise for Kaepernick, who finished 14 of 25 for 216 yards with four touchdown passes, including one for the first points of the game to former Patriot Randy Moss.
"[He had] over a 100-passer-rating [actually 107.7], in a real tough environment,'' Harbaugh said. "It was raining the entire game, but he did a nice job powering the ball through the elements and through the defense at times. He didn't make every play, but that's a good football team we played.''
After the Patriots tore off their four second-half touchdowns ("Tom Brady-like,'' said Harbaugh when asked to describe the performance, ''nothing else really to compare it to") to tie the score, the Niners showed remarkable poise.
LaMichael James, following Delanie Walker down the left sideline, returned the kickoff 62 yards to the New England 38 with 6:43 remaining.
"I trust Delanie, he always gets his block, and that took me to the promised land,'' James said. "I did as much as I could to help the team win, and that's pretty much it. One play doesn't win a game, though.''
But for all intents and purposes, the next play did. On the first play from scrimmage after the return, Kaepernick, under siege from an all-out blitz, found Michael Crabtree matched up against Kyle Arrington, who was in for the injured Alfonzo Dennard. After catching the pass along the left sideline, Crabtree shook Arrington and sprinted into the end zone for a 38-31 lead. It was a sharp move by Crabtree, and according to Harbaugh, a great read by Kaepernick.
"That was not where he was supposed to go with the ball,'' he said. "Wasn't the intended play. But he saw what he saw and kicked it out to Michael and Michael made a huge play."
Kaepernick wasn't flawless -- he fumbled four times, losing one, while struggling with the exchange from center. But he did make the big play in the big moment, something rarely happens for opposing quarterbacks at Gillette Stadium in December.
"It's a little bit crazy, a little bit surreal,'' Kaepernick said, "but I'm just trying to keep my head down and trying to keep it going as long as I can.''

Wouldn't choose again
Room was very dirty / dusty, we were moved to a cleaner room
Not what I expected
The room was large and basically clean and the bed was large and a was a four poster as sold, but it was very tired looking decor wise and the toilet in particular not the modern shiny temple of clean I would expect for the price we paid.
Best thing definitely the bay window with a great position over the harbour. In general not the modern boutique hotel I had anticipated at the room rate. Basically a seaside pub with a handful of old fashioned rooms. Would have been fine at 50 quid a night budget prices but not at the near 100 pounds with breakfast not included.

In ways big and small, formal and informal, we show our appreciation for employees at all levels, for those who contribute their best every day, and for those who reach out to go the extra mile. From a surprise flower arrangement or gift card to a formal award presented at an awards ceremony to a simple email acknowledging an employee's hard work, we understand the importance of employee recognition and the value of a sincere thank you

I have been working at Bright Horizons Family Solutions full-time (More than a year)
You can tell this company genuinely cares about the welfare of these families and isn't in it for the money. From the day I walked in for my interview, I felt at ease with or management team and felt that I could ask questions without feeling awkward or unheard. The pay was far better than I was expecting (although it could still be raised when you figure that you could make more to nanny for one child than what we make to watch up to twelve toddlers). We brought in an educational coordinator back in June and she has done nothing but try to work with us in any way we can. I feel that my questions and concerns are heard consistently. When it's come to dealing with problems between staff members or with families, these problems are handled directly and professionally in a way that attempts to benefit all involved. As for hours, I find our center to be very helpful in working with staff members in terms of their schedules. Many of us work four ten-hour days with one day off a week which I find great. As well, I'm also involved with the CDA program. I think it's an extraordinary benefit to working for the company; free schooling to better your education is a huge plus. I've spoken to my CDA advisor about career growth in the company and she's assured me that there are significant amounts of different directions that Bright Horizons offers if the right steps are taken.
Time management is a serious problem when it comes to what we're expected to do as teachers in the very little down time we have. I worked as a toddler teacher for my first year and had already found it difficult to get our documentation board done, the daily emails sent, the room cleaned, and everything ready for the afternoon in the time we had during nap time. Now I've moved to the mobile infants classroom which allots even less time and now they're cracking down on getting TSGold observations. All while the management team typically seems to be doing nothing but chatting about personal matters. It would truly help to have some coverage during the day for the primary teachers to get out and focus on planning, documentation and anything else that needs to be done outside of the classroom; even a half hour here and there would make a vast difference.
Advice to Management
As many have said, the center does seem to involved a lot of cliques. While it's calmed down since there's been some turn over in staff, it's still evident. Management needs to make their policies count for all staff members--not letting certain staff members relax in the office for some chitchat but not letting others out of the room for five minutes when they truly need a moment to regroup.

HC judge voluntarily declares assets
Chandigarh: In the midst of a raging
controversy over declaration of assets by judges, a Punjab and
Haryana High Court judge has voluntarily made public the list
of his properties while advocating setting up of an in-house
mechanism within the judiciary to regulate its conduct.
Justice K Kannan was the only judge of the High Court
who responded to a letter from lawyer and activist Prashant
Bhushan to judges in January suggesting that they should
voluntarily disclose their assets.
Bhushan today said he had sent his letter to about 600
judges of various High Courts in the country, but only Justice
Kannan declared his assets.
The judge is reportedly to have declared that he has
Rs 1.03 lakh in bank deposits, investment of Rs 3.87 lakh and
Rs 10.59 lakh as deposits in his wife`s name.
Kannan said there were other dimensions to the issue
of making public assets of judges, including who should a
judge be answering to on how he has got the wealth, what do
you do with corrupt judges and whether "a full-fledged roving
enquiry" should be made about the antecedents of a judge
before he is appointed.
"Let us evolve mechanisms within the judiciary itself
to regulate its conduct. If the existing mechanism is
perceived as not being successful in preventing corruption in
the judiciary, let us evolve better procedures for their
recruitment and removal. That will give us answer to who shall
access the records of assets of judges," Kannan said in his
The disclosure came days after a Karnataka High Court
judge wrote in national daily that it was a misnomer that the
judges of superior courts are not ready to disclose their
assets and the Chief Justice of India had no authority to
speak for all judges of superior courts.

It seems premature for the government to initiate criminal charges before getting the results of the psychiatric screening. Prosecuters heve discretion in these matters, and should not be playing to the public's/FAA's blood lust at this point.
I agree. "Interefering with a flight crew" is basically an intentional thing or something that happens when you are in your right mind. There is definitely a medical issue here and should be handled before anything of criminal intent is pursued.
1. Co-pilot acted exactly as expected he should act. An unusual situation, but isn't that part of why there is a copilot? You can bet if the airlines could figure a way to eliminate this position, they would in a heartbeat.
2. Don't quite understand the obsession with prosecution. Mostly likely medical/mental. Pull his ticket, get him help and go make some absurd rules which neither help security or make better pilots.
I'm getting very tired of the "hero" label being passed around again!
I myself, hope he can get the help he needs and cleared to return.
