Asswipes are all the rage right now. All the big toilet paper companies — from Charmin to Cotonelle to Scott — are manufacturing moist wipes, in an effort to clean up shit-smeared American heinies and keep skidmarks at a minimum. The problem? Sewer systems are getting completely jacked up.
The wipes claim to be "flushable," but as the AP reports, the National Association of Clean Water Agencies has been hearing complaints about wipes from sewer systems across the country the last couple of years — and this phenomenon "roughly coincides with the ramped-up marketing of the 'flushable cleansing cloths' as a cleaner, fresher option than dry toilet paper alone."
The problem got so bad in this western New York community this summer that sewer officials set up traps — basket strainers in sections of pipe leading to an oft-clogged pump — to figure out which households the wipes were coming from. They mailed letters and then pleaded in person for residents to stop flushing them.
"We could walk right up, knock on the door and say, 'Listen, this problem is coming right from your house,'" said Tom Walsh, senior project coordinator at South & Center Chautauqua Lake Sewer Districts, which was dispatching crews at least once a week to clear a grinder pump that would seize up trying to shred the fibrous wipes.
Apparently asswipes are a $6 billion-a-year industry, with sales up over 50% since 2007. Of course, the folks who make the asswipes insist their products are not the problem. Oh, and here's a terrifying sentence about a job I never ever imagined existed:
"My team regularly goes sewer diving" to analyze what's causing problems, said Trina McCormick, a senior manager at Kimberly-Clark Corp., maker of Cottonelle. "We've seen the majority, 90 percent in fact, are items that are not supposed to be flushed, like paper towels, feminine products or baby wipes."
Now, while the French, who generally know how to class up a joint, have bidets, I am of the opinion that one does not really need asswipes. If you're suffering from smeary stools or what they call incomplete evacuation, maybe you just need more roughage and less cheese? Humans have been pooping for centuries. How is it that, all of a sudden, we're plagued by filthy buttholes? That shit cray.

Chocolate Fluff Cookies
I've got a few different cookie recipes to share with you for the holiday season, and I figured I may as well start with my favorite so that you don't have any excuse not to make them. These chocolate fluff cookies come from the same recipe booklet from America's Test Kitchen as the much-loved chocolate turtle cookies from last year. I've been wanting desperately to make them ever since I got the booklet a year ago. How I've resisted that gooey, fluffy chocolate covered center this long is a mystery.
And you would never guess it, but these are actually ridiculously easy to make. The most complicated part of the entire process was clearing out enough space in my freezer to lay a cookie tray in there that would lay perfectly flat. Who has that kind of room in their freezer? Are we the only ones that keep our freezer stocked with everything from leftovers, frozen peas and corn, veggie burgers, the remains of a can of chipotle peppers, nuts, coffee, and backup frozen meals from Trader Joe's for those days when we only have 15 minutes to prepare and eat a meal before heading out the door? Surely we're not the only ones. We had to load our cooler up in order to make room, but there was never a doubt in my mind that it would be worth it.
But I digress. These cookies are SO easy to make that I'm actually a little embarrassed. The recipe uses store bought marshmallow fluff for the filling, and crackers for the base. They're not just any crackers, mind you, but Carr's Whole Wheat Crackers. America's Test Kitchen describes that as a healthier option that "are only lightly sweetened and have a crisp but sturdy texture," perfect for providing the backbone of these fluff cookies. They're easy enough to find at most grocery stores, but mind you, I had to reach around and grab a box from the shelf as two women seemed to be intent on taking every box in my store, exclaiming all the while that these were the best crackers ever.
With store-bought marshmallow fluff and store-bought crackers, that leaves us with the chocolate covering, and if you can turn on your stovetop, you can handle this. That's right, you don't even need to turn on your oven. Just a little melting of some chocolate and just a touch of vegetable oil, and you're all set.
To be honest, I was a little selfish when I made these because I knew that I was going to love them, but I didn't think that Joseph would. He's not really a huge fan of marshmalllows and I figured if he didn't absolutely love this chocolate cake with seven minute frosting, there was no way that he was going to be crazy about these cookies. But I miscalculated, my friends. Maybe I thought I could keep these cookies all to myself, but I was wrong. Turns out Jospeh loves the cookies and thinks that they're like s'mores but better since they're made with dark chocolate. I guess no matter how well I think I know him, he will always have some surprises in store. There go my cookies.
Chocolate Fluff Cookies
- 12 Carr's Whole Wheat Crackers
- 1 1/2 cups Marshmallow Fluff
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Position a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Distribute the crackers evenly on top of the rack and top each cracker with a rounded heaping tablespoon of Marshmallow Fluff. Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the fluff has firmed up, about 10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine chocolate and oil and cook over low heat, stirring until chocolate is melted and smooth and oil is incorporated. Cool to room temperature.
- Spoon the chocolate mixture over each cookie to cover the fluff completely. Return baking sheet to the freezer until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sheet to the refrigerator until cookies are completely firm, about an hour. Cookies keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Smartlipo is a medical device designed exclusively to perform laser-assisted lipolysis, commonly referred to as laser liposuction. A very thin tube containing the Smartlipo laser fiber is inserted in targeted fatty areas through a small incision. The laser fiber delivers thermal energy directly to fat cells and disrupts the fatty tissue for easy removal. The laser literally melts the fat, which is removed with gentle suction. At the same time, tissue around the area tightens through coagulation, contributing to a smoother shape overall.
How do I know if Smartlipo is right for me?
The best candidates for Smartlipo are women and men who are not significantly overweight but have accumulated fat deposits, such as love handles, flabby upper arms, excess neck or facial fator fat on the lower torso. A consultation with a Smartlipo physician can provide you with the best information.
What areas of the body can be treated?
Smartlipo is ideal for the neck, jaw line, arms, bra fat, "love handles", post-pregnancy skin laxity, saddlebags, knees and enlarged male breasts.
What does the procedure feel like?
Because the area is anesthetized, there is minimal discomfort during the procedure. You may feel a light pressure but it is a mild sensation. Following Smartlipo, you may experience some aches, much like after a physical workout. A compression garment may be worn for a short period after treatment, depending on the body area treated and the recommendation of your physician.
How long does the procedure take?
On average, the procedure will take 1.5-2 hours. This is dependent on the number of areas to be treated and the size of the areas.
Do I have to stay in the hospital?
No. Smartlipo is an in-office procedure performed under local anesthesia.
How many treatments are necessary?
For most patients, results are achieved in just one Smartlipo treatment. Results can be seen within a week, with continued improvement over three to six months.
Smartlipo permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area. However, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen to enjoy long-lasting results.
The incision site will be very small. With proper care, any scars will be barely noticeable.Your physician is best to evaluate your skin type and provide you information.
LaserBodySculpting is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires only local anesthesia. Some light bruising can occur, but you'll be able to return to normal activities within a day or two.

What's New
Albanita Bold Font by Harold's Fonts
Albanita is a set of new fonts that give a sense of history, without a specific reference to a time or place. These were indirectly inspired by the city of Albany, New York, my hometown for over 30 years. Albany has a distinctive look and character that has often influenced my work, and that I've deliberately tried to capture here, if not literally.
Albany includes many remarkable historic and modern buildings and an overall design that encompasses 4 centuries. Referencing a woodtype font, I created a squarish geometric structure which became Albanita Sans. Albanita, the serif font, includes shapes from interior and exterior moldings, a loving pastiche of historic ornament. Both are available in 3 weights.

Oral Disease and Your Body
Welcome to our Dental Wellness blog! As a Dental Wellness Center, our goal is not to just keep your mouth and teeth healthy, but educate our patients on how the condition of their mouth can affect their overall health and wellness. Over the past several years, even decades, research has proven that there are direct correlations between oral disease and other systemic diseases and medical conditions. This has commonly been referred to as the "oral-systemic connection". What does this mean? Well, in a nutshell, if your teeth and gums are in bad shape, it can effect other bodyparts and organs. With 3 out of 4 Americans showing signs of mild to moderate periodontal disease or gingivitis, and with conditions such as diabetes and heart disease on the rise, it is critical for our patients to understand this intimate relationship between the mouth and the rest of the body.
Every few weeks, we will be blogging about the topic of the oral-systemic condition in layman terms, making it easy for anyone to understand the science behind it. We will break down the different body parts and show how the bacteria in your mouth do their damage. Also, we will be giving health and wellness tips on topics from exercising to nutrition, so you can be sure to be on top of your wellness game!
If you have any questions about our blog posts, please feel free to contact us through our Facebook webpage for a quick response.
Happy Smiling!

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert has named Cody Stewart, a former congressional staffer and lobbyist for the oil and gas industry, as his new energy adviser.
"As we execute our 10-year strategic energy plan, Cody will be a key facilitator to ensure Utah is at the forefront in securing reliable, affordable and environmentally responsible energy," Herbert said in a statement. "Utah will benefit not only from Cody's keen understanding of related issues and stakeholder dynamics, but also from his sound judgment and balanced public policy approach."
Stewart replaces Amanda Smith, who will remain director of the Department of Environmental Quality.
He currently is chief of staff to Lt. Gov. Greg Bell. Previously, he was the director of the Congressional Western Caucus, a group of Republican Congress members that focuses heavily on land access and energy development.
Stewart, the son of U.S. District Judge Ted Stewart and nephew of 2nd Congressional District Republican nominee Chris Stewart, also was a staffer on the House Resources Committee under former Utah Rep. Jim Hansen and worked on public lands and energy issues for former Rep. Chris Cannon. He was legislative director for Rep. Rob Bishop before returning to Utah.
Stewart was registered as a lobbyist for several energy companies, including Americans for American Energy, and its parent organization, Policy Communications Inc., a pro-energy group.
He also was director of government affairs for the Western Business Roundtable, a trade organization for oil, gas, coal, agricultural and other companies.
The environmental group HEAL Utah criticized Stewart's selection, saying that he has a record of working as a lobbyist for energy interests and for elected officials who promote oil, gas and nuclear power.
Aaron Tilton, a former state representative who is president of Blue Castle Holdings, which is trying to build a pair of nuclear power plants in Emery County, was vice chairman of Americans for American Energy.
"It's appalling that even as Utah ranks near the bottom in terms of renewable energy use, Governor Herbert appoints an energy adviser whose only energy expertise seems to be underhanded lobbying for dirty energy projects," Matt Pacenza, policy director for HEAL Utah, said in a statement.
"This administration's policy is now being driven by the most extreme wing of dirty energy lobbyists in the West," Pacenza said. "Utahns should be very worried."
Herbert's spokeswoman, Ally Isom, said Herbert listens to all voices, including the conservation community, and shot back at HEAL's criticism.
"Even more appalling is the inclination of an extreme special interest group to personally attack a brand new appointee through the media, rather than sit down to constructively discuss one of the most critical issues facing this state and our country right now," she said. "We have a pro-energy development adviser because we have a pro-energy development governor. But that does not come at the sacrifice of the environment."
The Tribune recently reported that energy companies were the largest source of Herbert campaign contributions, giving more than $235,000 to the effort over the past 16 months or nearly $1 of every $6.
Sanpete County Commissioner Spencer Cox said that he has worked with Stewart as a staffer for Bishop and Bell and "I have all the respect in the world for him."
"He's incredibly knowledgeable, first and foremost," said Cox. "He's somebody who cares about consensus building and multiple players. ... I got the sense he's someone who has been willing to work with all sides, and he's frequently advised us to reach out and work with all parties."

Meet the Georgetown University Sophomore Who's Hiring a Personal Assistant
Charley Cooper, an undergrad at Georgetown University, is a busy kid. So he's hiring a personal assistant. Ten to twelve bucks an hour. Five or so hours a week. What—you expect him to do his own laundry?
According to the Washington Post's Jenna Johnson, Cooper posted an ad on a Georgetown jobs board last week looking for someone to do the wash, drive him to and from his part-time job at—wait for it—a financial services company, pay parking tickets, run errands, and schedule hair appointments.
A lot of Cooper's fellow students are aghast, and think entitled trust-fund twits like Cooper give Georgetown a bad name as a finishing school for entitled trust-fund twits, which it is. But come on—Cooper was raised in Bethesda, graduated from the Landon School, a private "boys' school" designed to turn out incipient entitled trust-fund twits, and his "Linked-In profile says he is considering jobs in finance, entertainment or both," so what are we really to expect of him?
Based on the ludicrousness of the wanted ad itself, which is posted in full below and says things like "tasks such as doing laundry that involve a lot of waiting around (time when you could be doing other tasks or doing your own stuff) will be counted for the approximate amount of time it would take to do the labor involved, [so] laundry will be counted for half an hour even though a laundry cycle takes 1.5 hrs to complete," we're pretty sure it's a prank. But it's in the Washington Post, so it's got to be true, right? Also, this YouTube video of someone named Charley Cooper's trip to Cancun during Spring Break 2008, which is posted on the same page as several other videos by a Charley Cooper who attended the Landon School and so almost certainly by Charley Cooper in question, presents independent corroborating evidence of trust-fund twit entitlement:
The Post interviewed Cooper for its story, but he insisted that it be conducted over Facebook—another red flag (that's his Facebook photo above). He said the need for someone to schedule his hair appointments was prompted by an illness in the family, and that "if I didn't already have a job, I would definitely be interested in a job that pays 10 to 12 dollars per hour and is flexible in terms of hours."
Hoax or no, the Case of Charley Cooper brings to our attention a serious matter: The increasing willingness of newspapers to appropriate the hard work of bloggers. Cooper was first reviled as a "prematurely self-important" by the blog of student newspaper the Georgetown Voice on Friday, and today the Post picked up the story in whole cloth, adding only an interview with Cooper and a wealth of background information and reporting on him. Isn't it a blogger's job to mock twits like these? And if newspapers are free to just grab instances of eyeball-exploding arrogance and unearned wealth from blogs and serve them up to their readers in exchange for a mere link, how are blogs supposed to survive? Just asking.
Here's the ad:
Job Description:
I am a Georgetown undergrad student and part time employee in the financial services industry. I am looking for someone to take care some of my everyday tasks for 1 hr a day, 5 hrs/ week, $12/hr. I live on campus which would make things very easy convenient for a Georgetown student. The normal pay per week will be $60 ($300/month), even though on occasion it will be possible to work additional hours and/or receive bonuses at my discretion.
The schedule is completely flexible because I do not need to be around when you do the work. You can even spread it out over the course of the day. As my PA you will receive an email once a day by 9:00 am with a task list for that day and a time estimate for each task. Important tasks will be bolded on the list and must be done that day (even though everything on the list should theoretically be finished on a daily basis). At the end of the day you will send me an email telling me what tasks are incomplete or that all tasks have been completed.
Tasks such as doing laundry that involve a lot of waiting around (time when you could be doing other tasks or doing your own stuff) will be counted for the approximate amount of time it would take to do the labor involved. For instance, laundry will be counted for half an hour even though a laundry cycle takes 1.5 hrs to complete.
Job Requirements:
PA example tasks -Organize closet -make bed -Drop off / pick up dry cleaning -Drop me off / pick me up from work -Do laundry -Fill up gas tank -bring car for servicing -schedule appointment for haircut -Pay parking tickets -manage electronic accounts -shopping and running errands -other random tasks.
Preference will be given to applicants who are comfortable with city driving (car will be provided) and who are available when I need to be picked up and dropped off for work. Preference will also be given to Georgetown undergrads for convenience.
Available Openings: 1
Hours: 3.0 to 7.0 hours per week
Compensation: $10.00/hour to $12.00/hour, Occasional Bonuses
Start Date: Immediately
End Date: End of School Year
Time Frame: Academic Year

Larry Ellison, one of the world's wealthiest people, has moved to the state of Hawaii, Recode has learned. He's the latest billionaire to leave California in 2020.
Ellison, the founder of the software giant Oracle, made the disclosure to employees in a company-wide note on Monday afternoon after Oracle announced that it was moving its headquarters to Austin, Texas.
"Following Friday's announcement ... I've received a number of inquiries about whether or not I will be moving to Texas," Ellison wrote. "The answer is no. I've moved to the state of Hawaii and I'll be using the power of Zoom to work from the island of Lanai," he added, signing off the email with a "Mahalo."
Ellison, who, more than most tech billionaires, enjoys the high life, owns almost the entire island of Lanai, which he has tried to develop as an environmental and agricultural utopia. He recently launched a new wellness company based on Lanai called Sensei, and the remote island is heavily shaped by his business and philanthropic decisions. In recent weeks, Ellison's allies and corporations have had to manage a coronavirus outbreak on the island.
Ellison's announcement comes just days after Elon Musk, a close associate of Ellison's, confirmed that he had moved to Texas in part because of Tesla's and SpaceX's business operations. A number of tech billionaires have voiced discontent with California's business climate and tax policies, which would matter tremendously to someone like Ellison, who has a net worth of more than $80 billion.
California has also been more stringent than other states with its Covid-related restrictions, which has angered Musk. Ellison has said little about his feelings on those policies, but he has emerged of late as a rare Silicon Valley ally of Donald Trump. Early in the pandemic, Ellison advocated for Trump to push for hydroxychloroquine, a drug with unproven benefits against Covid-19, as a possible treatment for those with the disease.
Oracle didn't respond to a request for comment.

Take the bubble-bursting puzzle gameplay of the popular Bust-a-Move series, turn it on its side and toss in some magical spells and memory matching puzzles and sharp cartoon visuals and you've got Supermagical, an award-winning iOS game from Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team, a developer with an obvious appreciation for understatement.
Nina, a tiny witch with a knack for getting into trouble, has unwittingly unleashed the colorful and mischievous Minix upon the world. The six wizards she lives with tried to contain her mistake and failed, so it's up to her to take on the color-coded creatures, one bubble-popping sage at a time.
Like its obvious inspiration, Supermagical is a game about color matching. Instead of bubbles firing at bubbles descending from on high, we've got magical spheres firing at globular creatures as they slowly march across the screen. Slide your finger along the side of the screen to aim, release to shoot, and tap the screen to collect coins and gems that appear once your enemies explode into a puff of magical smoke.
The core quest, spanning some 71 levels of Minix-matching madness, sees Nina freeing her captive wizard companions from the clutches of her seven deadly sins-inspired sisters. Once free, those wizards (two at a time, selectable by the player) will add their special magical powers to Nina's arsenal, giving her fresh new ways to clear the screen.
Supermagical isn't a particularly challenging game. Puzzle levels are simple to conquer. Timed levels add urgency but are easily overcome.
The biggest challenge for the player is making enough money to keep progressing through the game. Certain levels require items be purchased from the in-game market at exorbitant prices, requiring the player to either farm money from previously completed stages, or drop a little real cash on some fake cash. Once I got to the point where I could progress no further without farming or buying gold, I stopped playing.
Still, even with that barrier in place I'm sure I got my $.99's worth out of Supermagical. It's another bubble-popping game, but it's quirky and colorful enough to feed the Bust-a-Move beast lurking inside me, at least for a little while.

- Lets you share passwords
- Can get expensive
- Requires too many clicks
Our Verdict
Keeper covers the basics in password management, but it's not as cheap or as easy to use as it should be.
Editor's note: Please see our 2017 review of Keeper for the latest on this product, part of our broader roundup of password manager reviews.
As a password manager, Keeper has the basics covered. It captures login info and passwords for you as you browse the Web, securely stores them in a neatly organized vault that's easy to access, and generates passwords for you on the fly.
Keeper also goes above and beyond the basics, by offering a handy and secure password sharing feature that I haven't seen on any of its competitors. Unfortunately, this application is hampered by a relatively high price and a few quirks that make it harder to use than necessary.
Keeper Desktop is the Windows and Mac application that you use to manage your login information. It works in conjunction with Keeper's browser extensions, available for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, which work to capture your login info as you browse. The company also offers mobile apps for iOS and Android devices, and a Web-based app, which is only available as part of Keeper Backup.
And Keeper Backup is where things get expensive: It costs $10 per device per year — that's pricey when you consider that rivals LastPass and SafeWallet are free. (A free 30-day trial of Keeper Backup is included when you sign up for a Keeper account.)
So, what does Keeper Backup offer in exchange for your cash? Much of what its rivals offer for free: cloud storage of passwords, syncing across various devices, and Web access from any Internet-connected device. It's hard to justify paying for these services when LastPass and SafeWallet don't charge for them.
Unfortunately, using Keeper is often harder than it should be. Initially, I thought it was not capturing login and passwords when I browsed the Web. (I tested it on both Chrome and Firefox, and had the same experience with both browsers.) Both LastPass and SafeWallet display an unobtrusive pop-up when they notice a login page, and I expected the same from Keeper.
Instead, this app displays a small icon in the actual login and password fields. You have to click that in order to get Keeper to display a pop-up asking if you'd like it to store your info. It's a bit cumbersome. So, too, is the fact that auto-logins are handled the same way. Instead of entering your login and password automatically for you, Keeper displays that same little icon in the field itself. You have to click it, then click another button to enter the info. It's a whole lot of clicking.
More impressive is the way Keeper lets you share passwords, though this feature is included only in the $10 Keeper Backup. If you have a password that you'd like to share with someone else—perhaps a colleague or family member who shares an account—Keeper will send them an email notification. They can then set up their own Keeper account (free version or paid) in order to store it securely, too.
Keeper also offers tools for importing and exporting data to and from its vault, which is a nice touch. But these extras aren't enough to make up for Keeper's other faults.

The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) charitable organization that represents the interests of the 48 million people with hearing loss in the United States. HLAA encourages the solicitation and acceptance of gifts for purposes that will help HLAA achieve its mission. The following policies and guidelines govern acceptance of gifts to HLAA for the benefit of its operations, programs, and endowment.
Our Mission
The mission of HLAA is to open the world of communication to people with hearing loss through information, education, support, and advocacy.
I. Purpose of Policies and Guidelines
The Hearing Loss Association of America solicits current and deferred gifts to support the growth and mission of HLAA. The purpose of these policies is to set forth guidelines for the acceptance of gifts in order to ensure that achieving the mission of HLAA is not compromised as a result of such gifts, to provide the underlying principles for soliciting gifts, and to identify situations for which Board of Trustees approval or further legal counsel is required prior to acceptance of a gift (see sections: IV. Acceptance of Gifts, and XIII. Endowment Fund Policies for prior Board of Trustees approval policies).
These policies (and guidelines) govern the acceptance of gifts by HLAA and provide guidance to prospective donors and their advisors when making gifts to HLAA. The provisions of these policies shall apply to all gifts received by HLAA for all of its programs.
II. Funding Sources
HLAA actively pursues funding in the form of gifts, grants, underwriting, and sponsorships that advance its purposes and overall mission from the following sources: individuals, public charities, public and private foundations, associations and groups, corporations, public and private businesses, and government entities on the federal, state or local level.
III. Policy Implementation
These charitable gift acceptance policies and guidelines will be used to govern the fundraising activities of HLAA. All HLAA Board of Trustee members, Board officers, staff, consultants, and volunteers are expected to comply with these policies and guidelines.
IV. Conflict of Interest
To avoid potential conflicts of interest, Board members who own, directly or indirectly, e.g., through family members, trusts or otherwise, a ten percent interest in a business or corporation shall recuse themselves (if required) from the vote to accept a gift from that business or corporation. Ownership of stock through a diversified mutual fund will not require recusal.
V. Use of Legal Counsel
HLAA shall seek the advice of legal counsel in matters relating to acceptance of gifts when appropriate. Review by counsel is recommended for:
- Closely held stock transfers that are subject to restrictions or agreements.
- Documents naming HLAA as Trustee.
- Gifts involving contracts that require HLAA to assume an obligation.
- Underwriting/sponsorship agreements with in-kind services or assets.
- Gifts of real estate, artwork, vehicles, boats or other physical assets requiring valuation or appraisals.
- Transactions with potential conflict of interest.
- Other instances in which use of counsel is deemed appropriate.
VI. Acceptance of Gifts
HLAA's management is authorized to accept monetary or in-kind gifts under the following circumstances:
- The gift is wholly consistent, in fact and appearance, with the activities, policies, mission, goals, and/or programs of HLAA.
- The gift is not linked to a requirement that HLAA endorse or purchase particular products, policies, or services identified by the donor or to HLAA taking any specific action to benefit a particular person, corporation, or business.
Gifts that do not meet these requirements will require Board of Trustees approval prior to acceptance and appropriate documentation.
VII. Types of Gifts
The following criteria govern the acceptance of each gift form:
Cash – Cash gifts are acceptable in any form of U.S. currency only including cash, credit cards, money orders, wire transfers, and checks. Checks should be made payable to: Hearing Loss Association of America and sent to 6116 Executive Blvd., Suite 320 Rockville, MD 20852. Gifts can also be made securely online on the Donate page.
Securities – HLAA will accept publicly-traded securities which will be sold upon receipt less brokerage fees or commissions. For gift crediting and accounting purposes, the value of the securities shall follow IRS regulations.
Planned Gifts – HLAA will accept planned gifts including: bequests, retirement plan beneficiary designations, life insurance plan beneficiary designations, life insurance, beneficiary of a charitable remainder trust, income beneficiary of a charitable lead trust, and other planned gifts provided donor pays all applicable premiums and costs.
VIII. Planned Giving Policies
HLAA will accept planned gifts, in the forms listed in Section VII, C, through HLAA's Planned Giving Program. A planned gift is one which is legally provided for during the donor's lifetime but whose principal benefits do not accrue to HLAA until some future date. Prospective planned giving donors are encouraged to seek legal and financial counsel to review the gift to be donated and the advisability of the gift in light of the donor's overall estate planning. HLAA staff, Board members, consultants, and volunteers do not provide legal or tax advice to prospective donors.
Planned gifts to HLAA will be placed in a reserve account and it will require approval by the Board of Trustees to transfer funds to other fund accounts, as needed, to support the financial health, or program development of HLAA.
IX. Corporate Gifts / Sponsorship Policies
HLAA's policy on corporate gifts and sponsorships is to accept gifts and sponsorships from corporations and businesses within a strict set of ethical guidelines. HLAA does not accept funds from companies that would compromise HLAA's independence, mission or program work. HLAA will not accept funds from companies that would place HLAA's public image or professional reputation at risk. (see HLAA Relationships with Businesses and For-Profit Entities Policies and Guidelines).
HLAA will accept monetary and in-kind gifts from corporations and businesses provided that the gift comes without conditions or requirements that would negatively affect the integrity or reputation of the activities, policies, mission, goals, and/or programs of HLAA. (see HLAA Relationships with Businesses and For-Profit Entities Policies and Guidelines).
HLAA will accept sponsorships that acknowledge the donor but do not promote the donor's business or products in ways that would expose the sponsorship payments to taxation. (See HLAA Relationships with Businesses and For Profit Entities Policies and Guidelines).
X. Endowment Fund Policies
Terms and conditions must be agreed upon before an endowment is established. A minimum contribution is required to establish a named endowment. If the donor fails to fulfill the pledge obligation, or the purpose for which the fund is established becomes illegal, impractical, or no longer meets the needs of HLAA. HLAA may designate an alternative use in the spirit of the donor's original intent for the gift to further the objectives of HLAA. The Board of Trustees will approve endowment gifts and establish endowment funding requirements.
XI. Restrictions on Gifts
HLAA will accept unrestricted gifts, and gifts for specific programs and purposes, provided that such gifts are consistent with its stated mission, purposes, and priorities.
HLAA will not accept gifts that violate the terms of HLAA's corporate charter or trust document, gifts that are too difficult to administer, or gifts that are for purposes outside the mission of HLAA.
HLAA will not accept gifts that have potential financial or legal liability.
If the intended goal of a restricted gift no longer exits and if no authority was given by the donor to use the gift for an unrestricted purpose, HLAA will follow applicable laws and statutes to release the restrictions.
HLAA reserves the right to decline to accept gifts from donors whose conduct, operations or advocacy actions are inconsistent with HLAA's charter and mission.
XII. Revocation of Naming Opportunities
HLAA reserves the right to revoke naming commitments if the donor fails to fulfill a pledge or if the donor's behavior, reputation or actions would reflect negatively on HLAA.
XIII. Gift Acknowledgement
HLAA will provide recognition to donors in a mutually agreeable format in conformity with legal requirements. HLAA will acknowledge all gifts and will comply with current IRS requirements in acknowledgement of gifts.
XIV. Disclosure
HLAA will provide a copy of its Charitable Gift Acceptance Policies and Guidelines to any individual, foundation, corporation, business, government entity or organization requesting it.
XV. Donor Privacy Policy
Donors who supply HLAA with contact information may be contacted for solicitation purposes and/or for program or event information. All donor requests to remain anonymous will be honored. Donors may request to be removed from HLAA's mailing list by contacting HLAA via telephone, email, or mail. HLAA will not sell, share or trade donors' names or personal information with any other entity or send mailings to our donors on behalf of other donor organizations. This policy applies to all information received by HLAA, both online and offline, on any Platform ("Platform", includes the HLAA website and mobile applications), as well as any electronic, written, or oral communications. To the extent any donations are processed through a third-party service provider, HLAA donors' information will only be used for purposes necessary to process the donation. HLAA will provide such information as required to relevant government agencies, such as the Internal Revenue Service, as required by law.
Donor information related to planned giving, or the nature and value of assets, shall be kept strictly confidential by HLAA unless otherwise authorized by the donor for selected informational purposes of referral, example or testimonial.
XVI. Miscellaneous Provisions
A. Securing appraisals and legal fees for gifts to HLAA: It is the responsibility of the donor to secure an appraisal (where required) and independent legal counsel for all gifts made to HLAA.
B. Valuation of gifts: HLAA will record a gift received by HLAA at its valuation for gift purposes on the date of the gift.
C. Pledges: Pledges, excluding planned gifts, shall generally not exceed 5 years.
XVII. Changes to Charitable Gift Acceptance Policies and Guidelines

Scientists have theorized that the loss of Arctic sea ice over the last three decades is part of a recent, dramatic change in global climate. Now they have proof from an unorthodox collection of sources.
Researchers with ARCdoc, a project based at the University of Sunderland in England, found that annual sea ice between Canada and Greenland blanketed much more territory up to 250 years ago—the result of a colder, wetter, stormier climate. The evidence came from nearly 150 handwritten logbooks of Royal Navy expeditions and Hudson's Bay Company transports in the North Atlantic between 1750 and 1850. Another 60 volumes from Arctic whalers, who hunted their prey among permanent ice floes, offered rare eyewitness accounts of the far north. While the naval and Hudson's Bay records had been examined before, "These whaling logbooks had never been used for scientific studies," says Dennis Wheeler, ARCdoc's director.
The three-year endeavor to render the musty annals into numerical data was undertaken in two phases: First, translate the books' observations of ice forms into a modern glossary. Second, reconstruct a vital piece of the North Atlantic climate prior to anthropogenic warming.
Crunching the notes on precipitation, ocean activity and wind required a crash course in venerable maritime argot. ARCdoc research assistant Matthew Ayre focused his efforts on a handful of books by William Scoresby, Jr., one of Britain's most ambitious whalers and an early polar scientist. Ayre prepared a sea ice "dictionary" by translating the archaic lingo into present-day terminology and percentages. Then, he validated its accuracy with regular observations from the deck of an icebreaker in the Arctic Ocean.
Armed with this polar decoder ring, the ARCdoc team painstakingly extracted meteorological memos from the logbooks, updating the antiquated language to the scientific standard. Finally, they organized monthly tallies of weather events and seasonal ice characteristics and mapped the data across Baffin Bay and Davis Strait—an area known as an incubator for climate trends.
The sequence of data points, called a time series, revealed region-wide decadal changes in wind circulation, storm frequency and intensity, and precipitation. And, around 1800, a major shift in storm strength brought more blizzards and ice cover for the next 40 years. Baffin Bay and Davis Strait saw greater expanses of sea ice and bigger swings in weather patterns than scientists had assumed.
After comparing their model with current satellite images, the ARCdoc team confirmed a hefty decrease in the ice's reach over two centuries, the first proof of the frostier past theorized by climatologists. Moreover, ARCdoc's results show a section of the Arctic before the greenhouse effect, allowing scientists to gauge current and future conditions against the "natural" (preindustrial) environment.
The records focus on a single region during a limited time period but demonstrate the range of variability within the climate system, says Walt Meier, a research scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. ARCdocs's findings could be linked to other data sets for a bigger picture of atmospheric phenomena beyond the North Atlantic. "It's really valuable for creating context for the longer-term variations," he says.
Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, called the study a great example of data-mining—in this case, plumbing historical narratives to discover patterns among raw data. "This project affirms that what we've seen in the satellite data is highly unusual, and the findings could be a useful tool for showing the public that things today really are different," he says.
But some questions remain: Did volcanic activity, solar radiation, or oceanic circulation contribute to ice loss? Wheeler says clues might be gleaned from logbooks in American, Dutch or Danish collections that have yet to be studied. The answers could give scientists the means to build precise models of our planet's most climatically sensitive place. If we have accurate knowledge about the Arctic's past, we can make better decisions for its future.

Triple Murder Suspect's Ex: He was fixated on Anthony Sowell
EAST CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - A woman who says she very well could have been one of Michael Madison's victims, spoke exclusively to Reporter Jen Picciano over the weekend.
The suspect's ex-girlfriend told Picciano that he put a gun to her head and threatened her life. She's also gave Picciano insight on some of his behavior that now make a lot of sense - including a fixation with Anthony Sowell.
This woman says, a whole year after Anthony Sowell was tried and convicted for killing eleven women, Michael Madison would frequently watch YouTube videos of his case and cry - expressing sympathy for the serial killer and disdain for Sowell's female victims.
According to this woman, who wants to remain anonymous for her privacy and safety, says Madison would look up other rape cases and do the same.
She said she also caught him looking at nude pictures of underage girls on his computer. All alarming activities.
According to East Cleveland Police, Madison hasn't mentioned Sowell during interrogations. But a man told Reporter Blake Chenault that while they were in jail together, Madison told him he admired the infamous serial killer.

P0441 Code: Meaning, Causes, and Symptoms | OBD2 Codes
P0441 – Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow
P0441: DIY Repairing Video Tutorial
Check out nonda Auto DIY Center for more engine error code repairing videos.
P0441 Possible Causes
Missing Fuel cap
Incorrect fuel filler cap used
Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close
Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap
Incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve
P0441 Possible Symptoms
Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
Possible a noticeable fuel odor caused by the release of fuel vapors
The Engine Control Module (ECM) tests the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system for the following conditions:
– Large and small leaks
– Excess vacuum
– Purge flow during non-commanded conditions
– Fuel Level and Fuel Pressure sensor faults
– EVAP Purge and Vent Valve faults
The ECM monitors the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor in order to determine the level of vacuum/pressure in the EVAP system. The ECM commands both the EVAP Purge Solenoid and the EVAP Vent Valve ON when the conditions are met in order to apply an engine vacuum to the EVAP system. The ECM commands the EVAP Purge Solenoid OFF once the system has reached a predetermined level of vacuum. This test verifies if a vacuum can be achieved in the EVAP system. Failure to develop a vacuum may be caused by a large leak or a restriction.

RI President Ron Burton addresses Rotarians during the closing plenary of the 2013 RI Convention in Lisbon, Portugal. Monika Lozinska/Rotary International
By RI President Ron Burton
I'm looking forward to the 2013-14 Rotary year and the immense and humbling privilege of serving as your Rotary International president. During my presidential year, I'll let you know on the Rotary International president's Facebook page and in blog posts about some of my travels. I hope this will help you experience some of the magic of Rotary.
I have to admit, during my first year as a Rotarian, I almost missed the magic of Rotary. I didn't always care for the food and programs at the weekly club meetings, and I thought I had better ways to spend my time. But then my club president asked me to chair the Rotary Foundation committee. Rotary started changing for me after that. I found that the more engaged I became in Rotary and the work of The Rotary Foundation, the more I saw the magic of Rotary and how it changed lives.
That magic may be a little bit different for each one of us, but it's there for all of us when we really put our hearts into some aspect of Rotary service. For me, my heart is in the Foundation. I feel that every time you donate to the Foundation you're saying, "It's my resource, as a Rotarian; and it's my responsibility."
Your new governors already have joined me in this and led by example, with 100 percent of them donating to the Foundation. I thank them for their commitment to Rotary, which they've shown through their donations as well as facing the challenge of inspiring new members to get more involved and learn about the true meaning of Rotary.
When we really engage Rotary, that's when lives change. And, at the end of the day, no matter how many lives you reach out to change, the life that will change the most will be your own.
That's what our theme for 2013-2014 is all about. Engage Rotary, Change Lives.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees was pepper-sprayed and arrested early Thursday after he allegedly ran from away from an off-campus party and knocked the wind out of a police officer who caught up to him.
A probable cause affidavit says the 6-2, 210-pound Rees continued to resist even after being knocked down by police Officer Brandon Stec, so Stec used pepper spray and was finally able to subdue him with the help of other officers.
Police Capt. Phil Trent said linebacker Carlo Calabrese tried to talk to police, asking them why they don't like Notre Dame. Trent said Calabrese eventually grew angry and twice told officers: "My people will get you."
The 19-year-old Rees was charged with one count of battery, two counts of resisting law enforcement and one count of illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor. Police had filed a preliminary charge of felony battery on a police officer, which would have required him to stay in jail until being arraigned before a judge.
Trent said Rees registered 0.11 percent on a blood-alcohol test. Rees was released on a $250 cash bond late Thursday afternoon.
Prosecutors said they were still reviewing the preliminary misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct against Calabrese and would make a charging decision on Friday. He was released on $150 bond.
Rees was among about five people who jumped a backyard fence and ran after officers arrived to break up a party several blocks from campus about 12:30 a.m. following the last day of Notre Dame's spring semester classes, Trent said.
The affidavit says Stec chased Rees, continually saying he was a police officer and continually telling him to stop, but Rees refused. When he ran out into the street, a passing taxi driver heard Stec ordering Rees to stop and maneuvered his car to block Rees' path, the affidavit said.
When Stec caught up with Rees, the quarterback "used his right knee to hit Officer Stec in the lower chest area, knocking the wind out of him, making it difficult to breath," the affidavit says.
Coach Brian Kelly said he was aware of the incident.
"I am of course very concerned given the nature of the allegations, but I am still gathering information. I'll withhold judgment until I can collect all the facts and speak with both Carlo and Tommy," he said.
Trent said police arrested the 21-year-old Calabrese after he became angry when it became clear Rees was being arrested. Trent said Calabrese asked police, "Why aren't you a Notre Dame supporter," and "Why are you doing this to my teammate," before eventually uttering his warning.
"I have no idea what that means but it's obviously some sort of threat," Trent said.
Trent said some people in the crowd pulled Calabrese back into the yard away from the officers. Trent said Calabrese repeated the threat several minutes later and started trying to push through the people who were trying to restrain him. That's when he was arrested, Trent said.
Calabrese, who is from Verona, N.J., was a backup linebacker who played in every game last season after starting eight games as a sophomore during the 2010 season.
Rees, who is from Lake Forest, Ill., started 12 of 13 games as the Irish went 8-5 last season after starting four games as a freshman in the 2010 season. He was among four players competing during Notre Dame's spring practices for the starting quarterback spot this coming season.
"The university is aware of this incident and is confident that it will be handled in a prompt and professional manner through the criminal justice system," Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Brown said in a statement. "Internal discipline is handled privately, in accord with our own policies and federal law."
Brown said the university would have no further comment
Trent said no one else at the party was arrested or cited and that none of the others who fled from the party was caught.

Cause Group Thanks Denny's For Telling World About Suffering Chickens
Yup. It was predictable. A cause group has, in a way, thanked Denny's for bringing the plight of chickens to the forefront of the public's mind. As you recall, Denny's poked fun at what chickens would have to go through to lay all the eggs needed for the company's Grand Slam breakast promotion.
Farm Sanctuary President and Co-Founder Gene Baur said, "In a surprise move, Denny's, home of the Grand Slam breakfast, inadvertently delivered a powerful animal protection message to millions of Super Bowl fans during Sunday's game between the Saints and the Colts. I say 'surprise' because it's not every day that a major restaurant chain makes a public acknowledgment (and during the Super Bowl no less) of the animal suffering that goes into the creation of their menu items, but that is precisely what Denny's did with their 'Chicken Warning' ads."
Baur added, "Denny's (however unintentionally) made the connection between animal suffering and the food on their menu, giving viewers a glimpse at the nasty truth behind eggs."
Will anyone think twice the next time they order scrambled eggs? We think not.
