ML Strategies Advisory
October 4' 2012
By Julie Cox, George Atanasov, David O'Connor, Steve Silveira, James Sasso, and Emma Nitzberg
The formal legislative session for 2011-2012 concluded on July 31st. The session was defined by landmark legislation in healthcare cost containment, economic development, energy, and consumer protection. The Legislature will continue to meet in informal sessions through the end of the calendar year. ML Strategies will report noteworthy developments through the remainder of the session. The following is a summary of legislative accomplishments to date.
Health Care
"Containing Costs While Improving Care"
Legislators overcame differences between the House and Senate versions of their respective healthcare cost containment measures. In the final hours of the session they sent a compromise bill to the Governor's desk, which he promptly signed. The bill purports to save the Commonwealth $200 billion over the next 15 years by tying the rate of health care cost inflation to the state's general economic growth. Through various regulatory measures and the creation of new bureaucratic organizations, the bill aims to reduce costs and improve care by focusing on efficiency and preventative health measures. It promotes transparency in the quality and price of care. Additionally, the legislation sponsors programs that look to develop alternative methods of reimbursement for medical practitioners and new methods of care deliverance such as so-called Patient Centered Medical Homes. Implementation through the promulgation of regulations and the formulation of the various commissions established by the bill will continue well into the coming legislative session. We anticipate that a technical corrective piece may emerge early in the coming session, if not sooner.
Please see our MLS Alert for a more complete description of the bill and its impact.
"Amendments to the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Manufacturers Marketing Code of Conduct"
The budget for fiscal year 2013 includes amendments to the marketing code of conduct for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers by limiting or eliminating provisions that were considered to be overly proscriptive. Instead of prohibiting equipment manufacturers from paying medical providers for device training, the law now permits reasonable expenses for technical training, as well as modest meals. It is worthy of note that the House sought the repeal of the entire statute. It is possible that the issue may resurface in the coming legislative session.
Please see our MLS Alert for a more complete description of the changes.
"Co-pay Assistance and Prescription Drug Coupons"
A separate provision of the fiscal year 2013 budget authorizes the use of co-pay assistance and discount programs in Massachusetts to aid in the purchase of prescription drugs and certain qualified biological products. The law is designed to improve patient access. The language includes a study of the impact of the change as well as a five-year sunset. Massachusetts was the last state to adopt such a measure.
Please see our MLS Alert for a more complete description of the budget items.
"Fair Share Employer Contribution for Health Insurance"
The major health legislation, "An Act Improving the Quality of Health Care and Reducing Costs through increased Transparency, Efficiency and Innovation," changes the fair share employer contribution measurement in a small but significant manner. It raises the fair share contribution threshold, the point at which employers becomes subject to fair share assessment laws, from eleven to twenty-one full time employees. Additionally, it no longer counts employees who have health care coverage through a spouse, government program, or elsewhere, towards an employer's fair share contribution. The rules go into effect on July 1, 2013.
Additional changes to the fair share law were made in the Economic Development bill, which will take some pressure off of employers who are found out of compliance with the fair share contribution requirements. Under the new law, the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA) must allow an employer 60 days, rather than 10, to appeal a finding of non-compliance. The DUA cannot remove funds from an employer's bank account while an appeal is pending. Under prior law, an employer would accrue 12 percent interest on what it owed to the fair share contribution from the day it was issued a finding by the DUA. The new law forbids this practice while the appeal is pending, but may impose the interest if the appeal fails. Finally, the DUA must issue a written decision on the amount an employer must pay within 90 days of its final decision for companies with more than 50 employees and within 30 days for those with 50 or fewer.
Please see the Mintz Levin advisory for a more complete description of how this affects employers.
"Consent for HIV Screening"
Massachusetts no longer requires a patient's written consent before a medical practitioner can test him for HIV. Verbal consent will suffice. Advocates hope that this will expand the number of people who are screened for HIV and bring Massachusetts in line with other states.
"Reforming the Ability of Municipalities to Control Health Insurance Plans"
This legislation, included in the fiscal year 2012 budget, reforms the municipal health insurance system by making it easier for municipalities to alter their existent health care plans or transfer their municipal health insurance subscribers to the state's Group Insurance Commission. It will assist towns in dealing with rising costs by allowing municipalities to alter design features of health care plans without the approval of their workers' unions, so long as at least twenty five percent of the savings realized go back to the employees. The vast majority of communities have accepted this change, despite union resistance, resulting in greater savings than initially projected.
"Allowing Nurse-Midwives More Independence"
By allowing certified nurse-midwives to practice in Massachusetts without the consent of a physician, legislators aimed to make health care for pregnant women more accessible in areas with fewer physicians. Nurse-midwives now have the freedom to write prescriptions and order tests without the constant oversight of a physician, which will reduce delays in care and make the practice more efficient.
"Monitoring the Prescription of Certain Medications to Help Prevent Drug Abuse"
In early August, the Legislature passed a prescription drug monitoring bill that requires dentists, doctors and other practitioners to conduct drug history screens on all new patients. Additionally, the top thirty percent of prescribers of drugs having higher addiction rates would be automatically enrolled in the state's Prescription Monitoring Program. All others will be phased-in over three years. License renewal will trigger automatic enrollment in the program.
"Improving Tiered Health Networks"
Building on a 2010 law that established limited and tiered health networks, the Legislature introduced "smart-tiering," which allows health plans to establish varied tiers of health coverage based not only on facility in which care takes place, but on the service itself. Additionally, patients with serious medical conditions, such as cancer, cannot lose health care coverage during the course of their care if a disruption would cause them harm, even if their network changes.
"Updating the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act"
In an effort to streamline the organ donation process between the states of New England, the legislation updates the Massachusetts Uniform Anatomical Gift Act so that the Commonwealth's regulations and requirements for organ donations more closely match those of neighboring states. The intent was to remove regulatory barriers from interstate organ donation, which would simplify the process for New England's sole organ procurement organization.
Economic Development
Labor and Employment
"Right to Repair"
Massachusetts became the first state to adopt legislation that will open the market for diagnostic repair information to independent mechanics. Compromise legislation emerged as an alternative to a November statewide ballot question. The bill includes language sought by auto manufacturers that would protect intellectual property rights while making available for purchase the codes needed to facilitate the repairs at independent auto repair shops. These tools are now required to be purchasable at a fair price. Some describe the bill as having potential for a national model.
"Evergreen Clause"
This legislation restores the ability of public sector unions and management to include so-called "evergreen clauses" in collective bargaining agreements. Such provisions extend the terms of public-sector collective bargaining agreements even after they expire while unions and employers decide the terms of new agreements. The bill had originally been filed in response to an October 2010 ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court which held that these contracts were limited to three years under existing collective bargaining law. The legislation was made retroactive, except with respect to specific matters that were pending or adjudicated within a certain time frame.
"Temporary Employment"
The Legislature enacted Temporary Workers' Right to Know legislation. The law amends provisions on temporary staffing by requiring staffing agencies to provide much greater detail about new assignments to its employees, including the applicable wages, the duration of the assignment, and any risk to personal safety; prohibits staffing agencies from certain fraudulent practices; and requires staffing agencies to reimburse their employees' transportation on days where no employment actually existed. Certain professional employees are exempt.
"Fraud in Publicly Opened Contracts"
This legislation defines what constitutes fraud in relation to public construction bid laws. "Fraud" is defined as a statement, act or omission relating to a material fact that (i) has the natural tendency to be relied upon by or to influence the average person, (ii) is knowingly false or misleading or is in reckless disregard of its truth or falsity and (iii) is intended to mislead, regardless of whether the statement, act or omission is actually relied upon. This levels the playing field for contractors who do not make false representations when bidding for a job.
This legislation extends unemployment benefits to ensure that workers who were unemployed through no fault of their own did not lose their federal benefits at the end of March 2011. Also, unemployment insurance rates were frozen for the third consecutive year in 2012 to avoid a scheduled increase that would have cost Massachusetts businesses an additional $228 per employee.
"Workers' Compensation Insurance"
This legislation allows the Attorney General to prosecute delinquent companies who fail to pay workers' compensation and encourages employers to comply with the law. The legislation is designed to address a statutory discrepancy that has resulted in felony charges for an employer with workers' compensation insurance who violates the law, while an employer without insurance could only be charged with a misdemeanor.
"Domestic Violence Employment Leave"
This legislation provides protection to victims of domestic violence and their immediate family members by guaranteeing leave from their jobs. Employers with 50 or more employees are required to allow victims up to 15 days of leave with or without pay, in any twelve-month period.
Legislation that was considered, but not ultimately enacted into law, includes efforts to mandate paid sick leave; bills that would curtail or negate entirely the protections of non-compete agreements, and an attempt to amend the current definition of "independent contractor" that has been problematic. We expect that these issues will be reconsidered in the coming session.
"Expanded Gaming Bill"
This legislation permits a Gaming Commission to award up to three resort casino licenses in separate regions of the state as well as one slot license. Under the law, the state would receive a 25 percent tax on gross gaming revenues and a 40 percent tax on the slot facility revenues. Licensing fees that the state would also collect would be at least $85 million for each casino and $25 million for the slot facility license. The legislation also provides protection to local businesses by requiring the gaming facilities to negotiate agreements to level the playing field in terms of entertainment and other culture-related events.
"Gaming Compact"
Massachusetts has submitted its gambling compact with the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe for federal approval as of August 31, 2012. This legislation ratified the Tribal Gaming Compact between the Governor and the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe. The compact is subject to a 45-day federal approval process and if approved, will pave the way to an exclusive casino license in the Southeast region of Massachusetts. The legislation requires the tribe to return 21.5 percent of future gambling revenues to Massachusetts.
"Beer and Wine in Supermarkets"
This legislation allows beer and wine to be sold at more supermarkets and other large retailers by incrementally raising the cap on the number of licenses that a corporation is permitted to own. A similar measure in the form of a ballot question had been defeated in 2006.
"EBT Reform"
This legislation restricts the types of purchases that may be made with electronic benefit cards to prevent improper spending of cash assistance.
"Item Pricing"
Legislation was passed that eliminated the requirement for price stickers on individual products in grocery stores. The use of price scanning devices will allow stores to better allocate resources and ultimately benefit the consumer. Massachusetts was the last state to approve this legislation.
"Sales Tax Holiday"
The Legislature enacted the annual sales tax holiday in each year of the two year session. The tax break applies to all purchases under $2,500 and excludes vehicles, motorized boats, tobacco, meals, and utilities.
Energy, Environment and Clean Technology
"Energy Bill Expands Incentives and Increases Competition for Renewable Power"
The Legislature updated the historic Green Communities Act of 2008 (GCA) to address rising costs of electricity in the state, which many Massachusetts business leaders and lawmakers partially blame for the continued slow pace of economic recovery. The updates change the structure of the GCA's long-term contract program to require competitive bidding for renewable energy power contracts with utilities. Starting in 2016, retail suppliers will be required to purchase seven percent of their peak-hour usage from renewable sources. The bill also doubles the overall net metering cap in an effort to promote more household and business use of distributed renewable power.
As the regulations and methods of implementation take shape for this bill, it remains to be seen whether its expanded incentives for development of renewable energy can overcome the obstacles to project development created by regional capacity surpluses, low natural gas prices and the uncertain future of federal tax benefits for renewable energy.
Please see our MLS Alert that describes the renewable energy portions of the bill in more depth.
"Strengthening Utilities Responses to Outages from Storms"
In response to a series of storms, such as Hurricane Irene and a heavy October snow that left numerous Massachusetts residents without power for extended periods of time, the Legislature enacted a bill that holds utility companies responsible for more quickly restoring power to customers. During a power outage, utilities will now have to provide customers with twice daily estimates of when power will be restored.
"Bottle Bill Stalls in Study"
The "bottle bill," which would require customers to pay a five cent redeemable deposit on iced tea, water and juice bottles in addition to soda, did not succeed even though it made it through the Senate and had the support of Governor Patrick and environmentalists. Opponents of the proposed deposit fee argued that better ways exist to address solid waste issues such as enhanced recycling measures because of the high percentage of citizens who make use of curbside recycling pickup.
Other unsuccessful environmental bills:
"Community Colleges"
The state's fifteen community colleges were centralized to ensure a cohesive system of education and skills training responsive to the needs of local employers.
"Education Collaboratives"
This legislation is designed to improve financial oversight and accountability and require that the collaboratives be governed independently from any related non- profit.
"Proprietary School"
The oversight of private occupational schools known as "proprietary schools" has been transferred from the Mass Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to the Division of Professional Licensure (DPL) beginning on August 1, 2012. The bill also removes the cap on security that may be required from schools to ensure that students receive refunds on their tuition if a school were to suddenly close.
"Stand for Children"
A new evaluation system to promote effective teaching has been implemented in Massachusetts public schools. This legislation requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide performance data collection training to ensure that the Department's evaluation system is being properly implemented.
"Transitional Educators"
This legislation will provide training for licensed special education teachers and rehabilitation counselors so that they may assist students with disabilities and special needs with the transition from secondary school to the next stage in their lives.
Judicial System
"Three Strikes Bill for Violent Offenders"
Although Governor Patrick signed this bill into law, he did so with noted reservations. Known as Melissa's Bill, after a substitute kindergarten teacher who was raped, kidnapped and murdered by a repeat offender in 1999, the bill makes criminals with three convictions of specific violent crimes ineligible for parole and forces them to serve a life sentence if they had previously received one. The Legislature rejected a so-called "safety-valve" amendment that would have allowed for more judicial discretion in sentencing. Additionally, the bill reforms sentencing practices for non-violent offenders to make it less likely that they end up in jail and cost the state millions per year.
"Closing a Loophole in Drunk Driving Laws"
In the fiscal year 2013 budget, lawmakers closed a loophole in the drunk driving laws exposed by a Supreme Judicial Court ruling in May. The loophole allowed a defendant to escape the suspension of his license after a second arrest for operating under the influence because he did not did not plead guilty to his first, but only admitted to sufficient facts for a finding of guilt. The new law mandates license suspension for repeat offenders, regardless of how they plead.
"Improving the Indigent Defense System"
This bill revamped the Massachusetts system of indigent defense by reducing the number of private contract lawyers with whom the state works annually. It will also decrease the number of misdemeanors for which offenders need a lawyer present. The Committee on Public Counsel Services is in the midst of implementing a series of reforms and hiring more public defenders to address this issue, but progress is slow.
"Restructuring the Way Massachusetts Handles Children in Need of Services"
Legislators updated the thirty-eight-year-old Children in Need of Services (to be renamed the Families and Children Engaged in Services) and required the state to establish a network of family resource centers. Additionally, the Department of Elementary and Secondary education must develop truancy prevention programs for at-risk children who are continuously in trouble or run away from home.
"Reorganizing the Administration of the Court System"
This legislation aims to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of courts by splitting the duties of the Chief Justice for Administration and Management of the courts into two separate people; a civilian court administrator and the Chief Justice of the Trial Court.
"DNA Evidence"
Massachusetts was one of only two states to prohibit previously convicted felons from obtaining and testing DNA evidence when seeking a retrial. This law will allow convicted felons who meet certain criteria to use DNA evidence to qualify for the possibility of a retrial. Additionally, a law that would require the collection of DNA from all those arrested for felony charges was not successful.
"Human Trafficking"
Taking a tough approach to human trafficking, especially in cases of sexual servitude, Massachusetts has enacted some of the most forceful laws against this practice. Traffickers would face long jail sentences, including life for the trafficking of minors, and heavy fines that could exceed $1 million even for a first offense. There is no longer a statute of limitations for trafficking crimes and those convicted of sex trafficking would be placed on the sex offender registry.
"An Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children"
This legislation updates the interstate compact for foster children, which was adopted in 1960. It creates an Interstate Commission with one representative from each state so that a more efficient and effective foster system can be created. It awaits House action. This pact can only become fully effective once thirty-five states have achieved ratification of it. To date, only twelve have done so.
"Reforming the State Alimony Program"
This bill generally reforms the state's alimony laws based on the recommendations of a special task force. It categorizes alimony in a clear way and includes short-term marriages (those that lasted fewer than five years) as appropriate for receiving alimony. It encourages more settlements and less litigation. Reformers believe this will allow judges more discretion. It became effective on March 1, 2012.
"Protecting the Rights of Transgender People"
Continuing in the Massachusetts tradition of supporting the rights of minorities ahead of the national curve, this legislation, which took effect on July 1, extends the protections of civil rights to transgender individuals and includes them among the class of protected minorities. It also defines "gender identity" as related to how a person views himself, his appearance and/or behavior, rather than on the person's physiology or biological appearance. Public accommodations provisions were absent from the final legislation.
"Bond Bill"
The bond bill includes approximately $1.4 billion to support new projects designed to maintain and repair the state's aging infrastructure and to provide jobs. The legislation also allows the state to borrow $683 million for existing projects.
"Chapter 90 Funding"
For the second year in a row, the Chapter 90 local road program will be funded at $200 million. This funding is provided for road and bridge repair throughout the Commonwealth.
"MBTA Reforms"
This legislation is an emergency funding package that will allow the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) to close its budget deficit for the 2012 fiscal year. The legislation also increases fair evasion penalties and requires that MassDOT develop a long-term transportation financing plan for the state by December 31, 2012.
"Preventing Unlawful and Unnecessary Foreclosures"
In an effort to crackdown on the number of foreclosures in the state and to improve how banks treat those in foreclosure, the legislature took steps to prevent either unnecessary or unlawful foreclosures. The bill, "An Act Preventing Unlawful and Unnecessary Foreclosures," offers substantial protections for borrowers by requiring a number of steps before a bank can enter into a foreclosure procedure. Banks and other lenders must offer loan modifications before they foreclose on citizens and ensure that lenders prove that they legally hold the mortgage or mortgage note before beginning a foreclosure process.
Please see our MLS Alert for a more complete description.
"Funding Low-Income Housing"
The legislature passed a pair of key measures to help low-income citizens secure their housing situations. A supplemental budget bill raised the cap on the state's Low Income Housing Tax Credits by $20 million, which will allow the Department of Housing and Community to fund twenty-five new affordable housing developments. There was a fifteen percent increase in the Rental Assistance for Families in Transition Program. Additionally, a bill to ensure the coordination of state agencies to maximize efficiency and remove any barriers to the creation of permanent supportive housing was passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor.
Government Reforms
"Vendor Contracts"
This law enhances the Auditor's ability to access all grants, contracts, or agreements between the Commonwealth and vendors. The law requires that any contract or agreement between suppliers of goods and services and the Commonwealth must include a clause granting the Auditor access to such entities' accounts, books, records and any activities related to the agreement.
"Pension Reform"
The pension reform legislation is a comprehensive effort intended to end abuses and close loopholes to create a sustainable public pension system. The bill, Chapter 176 of the Acts of 2011, "An Act Providing For Pension Reform and Benefit Modernization" is projected to save the Commonwealth $5 billion over 30 years.
The bill includes anti-salary-spiking provisions, which prevent inappropriate salary hiking by increasing the career "look back" period from 3 to 5 years in order to more accurately reflect an employee's career earnings and provide a more equitable calculation of retirement benefits; by calculating the average annual rate for retirement compensation; and by mandating that regular earnings in any year cannot include pay that exceeds the average earnings from the previous two years by 10 percent or higher.
Additionally, the bill expands upon legislation from two years ago that eliminated the so-called "Section 10" loophole allowing elected officials to claim a termination allowance based on the failure to be nominated or re-elected. The bill declares for all new employees that a retirement benefit cannot be received until the individual has reached the minimum retirement age.
Another major and controversial component of the bill increases the retirement age for all new employees, reconciling the fact that people are living and working longer than when the retirement age was set in the Commonwealth's law in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
A Look Ahead
The upcoming 2013-2014 session will include reconsideration of previously filed legislation that was unsuccessful, continued focus on the work accomplished in the current session, as well as new priorities. Our fiscal challenges and the need to promote job growth and economic development will continue to demand much attention. Lawmakers and the Administration will continue the work of implementing the healthcare cost containment legislation through the promulgation of regulations and the appointment of various commissions and focus groups. We anticipate that both the Legislature and the Administration will build upon the foundation laid by the Tax Expenditure Commission by scrutinizing the myriad credits, deductions and other tax breaks currently on the books or under consideration. Transportation has been identified as a high priority. There is a sense of urgency to address our infrastructure needs statewide as well as the fiscal challenges facing the MBTA. We expect that a bill designed to implement long-term funding solutions will emerge early in the upcoming session.
ML Strategies will monitor the progress of notable legislation throughout the remainder of the informal session. We will also review the thousands of bills that will be filed by January 18, 2013, for consideration in the coming session.

Jumps in temperature make me crave something smooth and cool. There are some beautiful pudding recipes floating around right now, and this one is a favorite of mine. Cool, creamy, refreshing -- the perfect treat to watch as Germany and Argentina battle it out in the World Cup finale.
I decided to use a semi-sweet chocolate only to pull a bit of the bitterness out and make it creamier. Added the berries at the end dipped in a bit of sugar and it was perfect. All these beautiful berries are in season right now and deeply discounted at my local market. If I consume any more, I fear soon to become a berry. Hopefully just a few on top of these chocolatey dessert will stop that from happening!
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz. semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 farm fresh eggs
- fresh berries or ice cream
Pour milk into thee saucepan and add in sugar to dissolve. Sir occasionally so the milk does not burn or make to a boil. While the milk heats, coarsely chop the chocolate and set to the side.
When the milk is heated, add in the salt and vanilla extract. Removed the saucepan from the heat and set aside momentarily.
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place four ramekins into a roasting pan. In a pan bring enough water to boil that it will fill the pan with water that will reach halfway up the ramekins.
Place the chopped chocolate into a heatproof bowl and pour the heated milk over top. Over the next couple minutes stir until the chocolate dissolves and is incorporated into the liquid mixture. Pour back into the saucepan and bring back to a medium-low heat and continue to stir.
In a small bowl whisk the egg. Pour into the liquid chocolate mixture over top of the eggs and whisk until they are combined, but do not allow the eggs to scramble. Strain this new mixture through a sieve to pull out any left over chunks and into a vessel that can pour into the ramekins.
Pour the chocolate mixture equally between the ramekin cups. Add in the boiling water to the roasting pan until it fills halfway up the ramekins and put in the oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. The pudding should be slightly wiggly when they are taken from the oven. Place on a wire rack for about an hour and cooled, and then transfer to the refrigerator for another 3-4 hours covered with plastic wrap so the moisture does not pool on the top of these little Pots de Crème.
Before serving, top with little bits of berry, or a beautiful salted caramel ice cream. Enjoy!

Self-cleaning ovens must be pulled forward a minimum of 6 - 12" when the self-cleaning feature is activated.
Under Mount Coffee makers:
A 1/2" barrier plate mounted flush, or protruding slightly beyond the face surface of doors above, is recommended. This prevents possible surface damage and swelling of core material from excessive heat and/or steam.
Counter Top Appliances:
Care must be taken when using toasters, toaster ovens, portable grills, kettles and other heat/steam generating appliances to ensure that upper doors and cabinets are not subjected to excessive temperature and/or moisture.
Laminate counter top care
Regular Cleaning:
In most cases, all that is required to maintain the original appearance of your laminate counter tops is wiping it with a damp, non-abrasive cotton cloth and a mild liquid detergent or household cleaner. Simply rinse with clean water, using a clean, non-abrasive cotton cloth. Do not flood the laminate, especially near the seams, since the water can penetrate and cause the substrate to swell. For persistent stains, however, the cleaning methods listed below are recommended. Start with the first method if the stain persists. It is important that after each cleaning step, the surface of the laminate is rinsed with warm water and wiped with a dry cloth. This step prevents the buildup of cleaning agent on the laminate surface. Residual cleaning agent can be reactivated with moisture from a wet plate or cup. If this reactivated cleaning agent remains on the surface of the laminate it can damage the counter top surface.
If the Stain Persists:
Use a damp cloth and a full-strength, all-purpose cleaner. Rinse the laminate surface with warm water and wipe with a dry cloth to remove any residue.
For Tougher Stains:
Such as coffee, tea, or fruit juice, use a paste of baking soda and water. Apply this paste with a soft bristle brush and scrub gently in a circular motion for 10-20 cycles. (Caution: excessive scrubbing can dull or damage the surface of the laminate making it more prone to future stains.) Rinse the laminate surface with warm water and wipe with a clean, dry cloth to remove any cleaner residue.
Extremely Stubborn Stains:
May be removed with bleach or acetone (ie: nail polish remover). For safety reasons, rubber gloves should be worn when handling these liquids. Apply the bleach or acetone to the stain and let sit for no longer than 1 1/2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry with a clean cloth. (Caution: Prolonged exposure of the laminate surface to bleach will cause discolouration.) If this method appears to be removing the stain but not affecting the colour of the laminate, repeat this step until the stain is removed, then rinse the laminate surface with warm water and wipe with a clean, dry cloth to remove any residue.
Many commercially available products contain substances that may cause damage or discolour the laminating surface. Abrasive pads or scouring powder should not be used on laminate countertops as they can scratch or dull the surface making it more susceptible to staining. Harsh chemical cleaners such as: toilet bowl cleaners, oven cleaners, drain cleaners, coffee pot cleaners, hydrogen peroxide and rust removers should be avoided.
Sharp Objects:
Although the surface of laminate countertops is very durable, sharp objects can cause damage. Remember to always use a cutting board or counter saver when cutting or chopping food or other items. Scratches on the surface of the laminate cannot be repaired.
Hot Objects:
Objects removed directly from the oven or stove should never be placed directly on the laminate surface. Always use an insulated pad or trivet between the hot object and the counter top. Raise all free standing stoves to be higher than the counter top edge.
Impact and Scratches:
The impact of heavy objects such as food cans or dinnerware may cause chipping or cracking of the surface. Additionally, the repeated action of sliding heavy ceramic or other abrasive objects across the laminate surface may cause scratching and premature wear.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
I'd wanted a small, backyard wedding. My vision included a tent and chairs set up in the green, rolling backyard of my soon-to-be-in-laws' home, and a simple potluck supper.
As an agnostic, I preferred a non-religious officiant, and as an introvert, I wanted just close friends and family to be there to celebrate.
But as a 21-year-old who wasn't great at digging in my heels, I conceded to thing after thing to please family, soon finding myself planning a $20,000+ wedding at a rented venue (luckily, it was at least outdoors) with full catering, an open bar, and a guest list topping 200 people.
My fiancé and I would be paying for the majority of the wedding ourselves, making it imperative to cut down expenses.
To save money wherever possible, I started crafting and making decorations at a frenzied pace. I found some little cherub garden statues that I crackle-painted for centerpieces (it was the early 2000s and I was a gothy chick – don't judge!) I strung tiny red and white crystal beads to braid into my waist-length black hair (yep, super gothy!) And I designed wedding programs myself to print on thick, matte-finish card stock.
Just two days before the wedding, I was alone at my fiancé's parents' house putting the finishing touches on the program design and using their fancy color laser printer.
My mother-in-law had a heavy-duty paper cutter I was going to use to trim the programs to size. I had a huge list of wedding chores to do that day — run to the seamstress to pick up my dress, finalize the seating charts, grab 20 disposable cameras so guests could take reception photos.
I was getting frustrated that the card stock was taking so long to cut one by one, so I slipped three sheets onto the cutter and pressed down. Nope. The blade wasn't sharp enough to slice through. With greater force I slammed the blade down through the programs. Ah ha! That did the trick.
I slid three more sheets in and slammed the blade down again. Something was wrong, but I wasn't sure what. The blade felt like it had gone through but gotten stuck. I looked closer and felt my whole body go numb.
My left thumb, sticking too far out as my hand steadied the programs, was sliced through the center of the nail at a diagonal and blood was beginning to well up and spread out over the white paper.
I still couldn't feel any pain, but I knew I'd probably pass out if I didn't take care of things right away.
With barely any thought, I pushed the end of my thumb back in place with my right hand and walked to the kitchen. I grabbed a paper towel and wrapped it tightly around my thumb to keep the severed piece in place, then with the other hand I poured myself a glass of orange juice.
Somehow in my shocked brain I knew I needed to get some sugar and fluid in myself to stay conscious. The next few hours were a blur of 911 operator, ambulance, emergency room, Novocaine shots and stitches.
Turns out I had sliced completely through the bone, leaving only a small margin of muscle and skin to keep my thumb tip from falling off completely. But the doctors managed to save it!
My wedding day was accompanied by pain killers and a giant white bandage that everyone joked made me look like Fred Flintston after hitting himself with a hammer, but I hid that behind my dress for photos, and the day went on to be lovely despite the thumb.
The marriage, however, didn't last. We were divorced just 5 short years later, and in fact I was still paying off wedding debt after we were no longer married — but my thumb is still going strong.
I was warned there was a chance it would turn black and fall off, but other than a barely visible scar that hurts when I accidentally whack it and a ridge on my thumbnail, I came through the experience unscathed.
If I learned anything, it was that I should have stayed true to my original wedding plans. I'd have never chopped off my thumb if we'd just had a potluck in the backyard.

And remember how I'd been meaning to make a video showing how to use the CarlaCraft Binding System? It's not very fancy because I don't have an editing program yet, but I did it! Take a look:
The cookbook measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", and I decorated the cover with 10825H Soup Pot Chef and 10810F Gourmet Background. The oval and scalloped oval were cut with Nestabilities dies.
If you'd like to make your own copy, you can download the .PDF file of my Asian Feast recipes. Print the first five on 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock, then turn the paper around, print the other five, and cut the sheets in half. Enjoy!

Prescribed Burns
Prairie plants are well adapted to fire. They have evolved unique growth habits to protect their delicate tissues from the intense heat. The budding cells are located at or below ground level where they escape the high temperatures and experience little damage from the fire while some prairie plants actually require fire in order to grow.
Fire has a number of associated benefits to the prairie. It removes dead plant material and thatch that has accumulated in previous growing seasons and returns it to the soil in the form of ash. This recycling of nutrients and the rapidly warming blackened soils following a prairie fire contribute to a healthy prairie. The single most important benefit of fire in the prairie landscape is the suppression of brush and other woody plant species. Trees such as the non-native Chinese tallow tree and shrubs are not well adapted to fire and are suppressed or often killed in the process of a burn. In the absence of fire, prairies are slowly degraded by the invasion of trees, shrubs and other woody species. Over time, trees will create a closed canopy harvesting most of the available sunlight. This lack of sunlight causes the shading out the original native prairie plant community.
Recognizing the historical importance of fire in the prairie landscape, Armand Bayou Nature Center uses fire as a tool to restore and maintain the health of our prairies. Prescribed burning is the use of fire to achieve a specific ecological goal in the prairie landscape. Our prescribed burn team consists of staff and trained volunteers. Go to the Volunteering web page for information about becoming a burn team member.

The Arkansas Senate passed a bill to ban tattoos, piercings and other similar body modifications which it characterizes as "non-traditional," recently.
Senator Missy Irvin of Mountain View, Arkansas sponsored the bill entitled "An Act To Limit Body Art Procedures". She says that body modifications should be limited to "traditional" tattoos and piercings.
Her proposal was to essentially ban scarification procedures and dermal implants, as well as certain tattoos which remain yet to be defined as by the vague language of the bill she sponsored.
Almost unbelievably, this bill passed by a 26-4 vote. Following this, the bill was sent to the House, where it took on even more vague language. See the link above for the bill as it was eventually "compromised" on in the House.
The scarification ban from the Senate version was removed, while considerable ambiguous language remained. The House "compromise" bans dermal implants unless performed by a doctor. This essentially, and in practice, outlaws the body modification. As well, the bill's vague, undefined language – even in the edited, House version – while editing out some of the original language on tattoos, fails to define a number of important issues raised by the Senate version, including what they mean by "cosmetic" tattoos as opposed to "non-cosmetic" tattoos.
If the government dictating what you can and can't do with your body bothers you, SPREAD THE WORD!

Close up view of the artwork mounted to this silk brocade wall scroll
This is a very unique form of calligraphy. It's a Chinese character that is made to look like an actual figure. In this case, a frisky monkey. The monkey is probably meant to represent the Monkey King from the novel, "Journey to the West". This particular monkey was immortal.
The large character/monkey is also a representation of (shou) which means longevity and long life in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.

Gary's random little things about China:
If you come to China, save your small change...
In Beijing, the government recently passed a law against charging money for using a public toilet.
However, in other cities and towns around China, expect to pay between 2-5 mao (about 3-5 cents) for the use.
Bring your own toilet paper, or expect to pay 5 mao for a small pack of tissue as you enter.
In my opinion, the best public toilet in all of China is at Tian'anmen Square.
This public restroom is not only clean, but also features its own gift shop.

The Town of Barnstable is seeking bids for a .22-acre property at 58 Willow Ave.
The Town of Barnstable is seeking bids for a .22-acre property at 58 Willow Ave. in Hyannis, which once served as the garage for the Barnstable Police Department on Elm Street.
The property includes a building of about 2,100 square feet and is eased by Cape Cod Fuel. Chief procurement officer David Anthony said that the business owner has expressed an interest in acquiring the property over the years. Up until now, the town has not deemed a sale in its best interest, but that's changed, Anthony said.
The minimum bid is $155,000. The property is assessed at $174,700. It is located in the Hyannis Village Business District and there are no use restrictions other than what is allowed by the underlying zoning.
Bids are due no later than 2 p.m. Aug. 10. A recommendation to the town manager is expected within 30 days of the bid deadline.

Cello Player Crazily Invites Wrath of Kanye West
Plus: New music from Dizzee Rascal and Man Man!
1. Ben Sollee, "Dear Kanye"
Wow. Ben Sollee, a bush-league folkie, pens Kanye a musical open letter in which he tells him "you don't need a light show, just good flows," a likely reference to West's delayed, much-criticized Bonnaroo performance and resultant blog rant. If he writes another song as condescending as this one, Sollee is going to find himself with more than a nasty blog post to worry about. [Backseat Sandbar]
2. Dizzee Rascal, "That's Not My Name" (Ting Tings cover)
England's Minister of Grime drops by Live Lounge to remake the Ting Ting's wallflower anthem as an angry track about hate speech. [Mixtape Maestro]
3. Man Man, "Doo Right"
Man Man leader Honus Honus sings, "I want to hold you until the mountains turn to sand," but settles for "until his keyboard runs out of power." [Pitchfork]
4. UNKLE feat. Josh Homme, "Chemical"
James Levelle gets help from a Queen of the Stone Age on this paranoid (and pretty good) track off his new record. [Swill Merchant]
5. Anoraak, "Talking in Your Sleep" (Romantics cover)
Anoraak somehow manages to make this cover sound even more retro than the original. [Culture of Me] —Ehren Gresehover

Two women from New York have been charged in a case of trying to use counterfeit bills to make purchases at Target stores in Plainville, North Attleboro, Seekonk and Connecticut.
Counterfeiting schemes could be considered larceny in Attleboro — a form of theft. In most cases, suspects use fake bills in order to make purchases. Many times, these cases can be difficult for police to discover unless the cashier checks the bills on the spot. However, counterfeiting can also be a federal crime investigated by the U.S. Secret Service.
Trying to piece together video footage and witness testimony after the fact and link a person to the crime can be a tricky proposition for the police. While the technology behind the government's printing of dollars has gotten better in recent years, there are still people willing to try to literally print money.
For those who are arrested, an experienced Massachusetts defense attorney must be hired in order to investigate all the facts and look at the evidence police intend to use against the defendant. It may be possible, in some cases, for the evidence filed by police to be suppressed if rights were violated in the process. That happens only depending on the specific circumstances of the case, however.
In this case, The Sun-Chronicle reports, two woman were allegedly conducting a scheme where they would use counterfeit money to buy electronics at stores and then attempt to exchange them at other stores for the cash.
"They were doing some type of flim-flam, buying I-pods and I-pads at Target, using counterfeit money to buy them, and returning them to other Targets to get real money," said Plainville Police Sgt. Scott Gallerani.
According to the newspaper's report, several thousand dollars in counterfeit money were confiscated by officers. 24-year-old Iyanah Wright of Hempstead, New York, and 22-year-old Shannon Hoskins of Freeport, New York, have been arrested.
The newspaper reports that Wright was arrested after a foot pursuit in the parking lot of a Target store in Plainville. Hoskins was found by store security and held there. Both women now face charges of possession of counterfeit notes, receiving stolen property and conspiracy. Wright also faces a charge of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
According to police, detectives in Seekonk and North Attleboro are now investigating to see whether the women may be connected to alleged incidents there. Connecticut authorities may be, too. The women reportedly have open cases in New York of a similar situation.
There may also be a man who is involved as a "lookout" in connection with the incident. The women were set for an arraignment in Wrentham District Court.
Proving that the women knew the money to be counterfeited may be a challenge for police. The fact that they may have committed the crime in different areas has no bearing on these individual cases. If they are charged with committing the crime in Connecticut, an Attleboro jury likely won't know that. They must determine guilt based on the incident that allegedly happened in that area. That may be tough in this case.
Massachusetts Criminal Lawyer Michael DelSignore represents clients facing serious misdemeanor and felony charges throughout the state.
The Law Offices of Michael DelSignore are conveniently located in Stoughton, Attleboro, New Bedford and Westborough.

How to Install / Replace your TOSHIBA NSK-V90SQ 06 Keyboard?
Turn off your laptop. Disconnect the AC adapter and any cables, then remove the battery. Turn the laptop over and let it cool off for a few minutes before you begin.
On the underside of the notebook, you'll find screws holding the keyboard and palm rest in place. Set the screws aside, and be sure to keep track of them all.
Turn it over and open the Lid. Slide your fingers under the top of the palm rest and gently pull it up, moving from the center to the outer left and right edges. Leaving the fingerprint reader attached, place the palm rest down in front of the unit.
Lift the damaged

up from the front, then pull it toward you to release it from the notebook's frame. Pull up on the connector to detach.
Attach the new

's connector. Position it over the space vacated by the old connector, and press down firmly until it snaps into place. Slide the top of the keyboard under the lip of the frame (near the display). Ensure that the top edges are just under the frame. Tilt the keyboard down until it lays flat and sits flush with the top, left, and right edges of the frame.
Align the bottom edge of the palm rest along the base of the frame, then press down until the top is also in place. Press firmly on the left and right edges to snap the palm rest into place again.
Close the Lid, and turn the notebook over. Replace all the screws, making sure to tighten them securely. Insert the battery, plug in your AC adapter, and enjoy your new keyboard.

This is a digital file
Item details
Grayscale is wonderul to color because it gives you an idea where the light and shadows fall on the piece. You color the shadows in darker shades, and the lighter highlights with lighter colors. Beginners can also color over the areas with a light hand and let the shadowing shine through.
These images are from the public domain but I have cleaned them up, resized and altered for you to have fun coloring.
You will receive a digital file (8.5 inches x 11 inches size) in .jpg format in 300DPI (high resolution).
This is a digital file only. No frame or physical item will be mailed to you.
Print this at home, or take it to a retailer such as Walgreens, Walmart, or there are many online print services you can use as well.
Please note the color of the final print will vary depending on the printer used.
Because of the nature of this item, we are unable to accept refunds. If there is an issue with printing or a problem, please contact me!
Personal use only. This file is not to be shared with others or sold.
I reccommend you print on quality paper. I used "Neenah Exact Vellum Bristol Cover Stock, 8 1/2" x 11", 67 Lb., White" I use Marco Raffines a lot, as well as chalk pastels for the borders.

For many years, scientists and archaeologists thought that the first Homo sapiens arrived in the Americas roughly 13,000 years ago, through an "ice-free corridor" within a large ice sheet largely blocking the route from Asia into the Americas. But after scientists discovered human remains in Mexico dating to roughly 13,500 years ago, scientists began revising their theories about how the first humans arrived. Jon Erlandson of the University of Oregon believes that these first humans paddled boats down the coastline of the Pacific, following the kelp forests along the Pacific Coast and rivers through the interior of the continent, all the way into South America.

Guest Report
Jason Wickham from Trinidad visited in August 2012 and awarded
We had a group of swimmers and families stay during Great Race Weekend. It surroundings were clean and well kept. We rented all the apartments and the owners were kind enough to unlock the adjoining doors to allow free access. The caretaker was very pleasant and accomodating.
Due to some travel problems they we accomodating enough to let some of the group stay an additional night without any hastle. If you are looking for comfortable accomodation at a reasonable price, Coral Place is highly recommended.
Guest Report
Danielle Lo from Trinidad visited in July 2012 and awarded
My mom and aunt stayed at this place and they were very well pleased. My sis and I were pleased too...wished we hadnt booked before at another location...:-(..The apartment is very modern and clean and Marcus was very pleasant. Its location is ideal and walking distance from the bay and the must attend Sunday School. It was indeed worth the cost and I would rate it at an 8 (really high rating for me)...The only thing that was lacking (and I know this is minor since we visited the beach everyday) is a pool. Then I would have given it a ten..I look forward to returning again.
Thanks Coral Place Team..you guys did a great job!
Guest Report
Rayann Ramdin from Trinidad visited in June 2012 and awarded
I am extremely impressed and satisfied with my stay at coral place as it served as a home away from home. I was very pleased with the amenities and utilities as every necessity was provided.This contributed to the laid back vacation setting that any visitor looks forward to. The comfort was beyond any guest house in Tobago I've stayed at, as I enjoyed the quiet environment and services provided. I was utterly impressed by the upkeep and maintenance of the facilities. The wifi service was indeed a great convenience.An added bonus was the security system in place, which made me feel very safe, first at any guest house I've ever been to. I would definitely highly rate coral place as I hold it in my highest esteem and would recommend it to any visitor, as I am certain that coral place would meet the highest expectations of anyone.

My stay at coral place was extremely nice, the place was really clean and top of d line my only problem was the check in and check out time for a guest house is a bit weird but other than that i would recommend it to any one.
