To find out if a person qualifies for Section 8 housing, he must provide income documentation to his local Department of Housing and Urban Development. The documentation typically includes tax documents and recent pay stubs, and if the person is awarded Section 8 housing, the documentation is checked annually.Continue Reading
As of 2015, Section 8 assistance requires an individual earn 50 percent or less of the median income for the area. This means that someone may qualify for Section 8 assistance in one area but not in another. Local housing agencies may also use other factors to determine eligibility besides income, and the high demand versus low supply of Section 8 housing means that financial eligibility is not a guarantee of getting an award.Learn more about Social Services

February 9, 1997The Life You Save May Be Your Own
By ELLEN FELDMAN
Rosemary Breslin's memoir of chronic illness is the story of finally growing up
An Incurable Love Story.
By Rosemary Breslin.
229 pp. New York:
Villard Books/Random House. $23.
A friend recently told me of a friend of hers who, after a freak accident paralyzed her legs, not only learned to walk again, but swears she wouldn't trade the recovery experience for anything. I found the sentiment admirable but suspect -- until I read ''Not Exactly What I Had In Mind,'' Rosemary Breslin's memoir of her struggle with a life-threatening disease.
Let me confess, first, to a squeamishness in the face of books about illness -- fighting, accepting philosophically, going on after a loved one's illness or any of the other supposedly inspiring subcategories. For every paragraph of spiritual uplift there are too many pages of harrowing pain and suffering. Call me wimp, but the ratio leaves me begging for Prozac.
Ms. Breslin, however, has chosen to focus not on her mysterious sickness but on the woman she's become as a result of it. Despite maddening visits to doctors' offices and lonely nights in hospital rooms, moments of excruciating pain and bouts of nausea and fear and self-pity, hers is a triumphant account and a love story that plays, as she says, like a gentile version of a Barbra Streisand movie, written by a woman with the self-confessed ''makings of a great romance novelist.''
Rosemary Breslin is, in fact, a journalist, the daughter of Jimmy Breslin, the New York columnist and novelist. She won't like having that statement made here. She didn't like it when it got her special attention in medical situations or callous neglect because a doctor was less interested in the patient than in her famous father. Nonetheless, celebrated names litter the pages of her book. She has dinner with her husband's aunt and uncle, Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne, and discovers that ''when your self-esteem is virtually nonexistent, it feels good when you hold your own with people like Joan and John.'' The Cuomos, Mario and his wife, Matilda, provide medical referrals and the first engagement gift. Giorgio Armani sends a suit after reading that she'd forgone a gift of one, asking friends for blood donations instead. A ''gray and pudgy'' Jack Nicholson and the ''midget real estate mogul'' Mortimer Zuckerman make cameo appearances. But as the author might say in her breezy, tough-exterior-with-a-marshmallow-heart style, get over it. She has more serious matters on her mind.
One is a disease that started in 1989 with a headache that wouldn't go away. The closest doctors came to a diagnosis was ruling out AIDS and cancer. The best they could do for treatment was keep her alive on massive doses of other people's blood and gamma globulin. Another is Tony Dunne, who appeared on the scene with the words ''husband material'' written all over him in large print. The third is money: ''In hospitals and doctors' offices I've heard people talk more about money than health.'' Despite the obstacles, Tony Dunne and Rosemary Breslin fall in love, and after strategy sessions with her friends worthy of the Joint Chiefs, and after a case of engagement-ring schizophrenia (Yes? No!) that could land a woman in the hospital if she weren't already there, they marry. Then Ms. Breslin begins to grow up.
Before her illness, she was feckless about finances. After she got sick, she gave up work completely. In her early arguments with Tony Dunne she smashed dishes and discovered ''it was exhilarating.'' She conned her way into his apartment, then made him sleep on the couch while she cried in the bedroom. Her larcenous, if incurious, nature led her to filch the big bills she found in his pockets but not to wonder what he was doing with so much cash.
Still, the struggle to save her own life produces a woman who forges a life worth saving. She begins to work again and takes pride in her achievements. Soon she's salting away funds for the house her husband dreams of restoring. Their love deepens; their marriage matures.
Ms. Breslin has written an upbeat book about a heart-wrenching experience. Though the prose is occasionally careless and some of the passages are repetitious, quibbling with style and structure is like faulting a hungry woman for devouring the meal instead of stopping to describe its taste and texture and depth of flavor. The author is hellbent on celebrating her life, and the reader can't help applauding her courage.
Ellen Feldman's most recent novel is ''Rearview Mirror.'' Her next, ''Falling From Grace,'' will be published this year.

So, Doc's coffee is more 'Fire for effect'
I'm at the other end of the spectrum, I like my coffee fairly weak. Keeps the tum happy.
Arabica, beloved goddess of caffeine, would smite me if I failed to proclaim that for good weak coffee, you've got to brew it strong, and then dilute it.
The more water you filter through the grounds, the more bitter compounds you extract.

I looked through their posts and some

As with the other thread I respect your opinion, the bannings and unbannings are my opinion, and I value your input however this thread will be closed as it was started to talk about who the new moderator is, that moderator is me and so the question is answered.
I don't see the point in continued discussion as I am the Super Moderator in charge now and that answers the questions. The only reason I am leaving it open is incase any of our other Community Members would like to chip in their two cents before it's closed.
I didn't order you to do anything.
However, I suggest you keep this thread open.

"This community has lost in Dr. Bird a man of high and exalted intelligence," reads the January 1854 obituary of Robert Montgomery Bird. Nearly 140 years later, we may have regained a portion of what was gone.
It all started one day last year with a telephone call. The family of the 19th-century photographer-experimenter wanted to place the collection in a proper institutional home. For nearly 140 years the collection sat in the dry, safe, caring lap of the family. It is largely intact--191 paper prints, paper negatives, and manuscripts, all from the early 1850s. We counted 100 paper negatives and 76 paper positives including 15 negative-positive pairs. An 1864 account by daguerreotypist Marcus Aurelius Root tells that Dr. Bird was "probably the ablest writer on sun-painting in the United States." But neither Root nor any historian of photography ever made mention of Bird's experiments. They remained inaccessible to scholars until 1992.
We asked for help from our friends to buy the collection, and our friends responded.
Bird had long been well known for his many novels (Nick of the Woods and The Hawks of Hawk-Hollow) and plays (The Gladiator and The Broker of Bogota), many of which we have. With our new acquisition, Bird reemerges as the secret translator of Gustave Le Gray's 1851 publication, Nouveau Traité théorique et pratique de photographie sur papier et sur verre, a treatise on the paper negative process invented by Englishman William Henry Fox Talbot. Birds's many notations on his prints (22 mention Le Grey) and the timing of the publication (the spring of 1853) lead us to believe that he is the translator. We think that Plain Directions for Obtaining Photographic Pictures (Philadelphia, 1853) appeared as the product of these intense experiments. They are views made mostly at Bird's Filbert Street home, from January 1852 to August 1853--up the street, down the street, across the street and the back roof. Inside the house, perhaps during bad weather, perhaps using artificial light, Dr. Bird copied oil paintings, engravings, daguerreotypes, even paper money. Twice he tried to make live portraits. On everything he wrote notes detailing the chemistry.
The summer after the book was published, Dr. Bird and his wife, Elizabeth Mayer Bird, visited the Delaware Water Gap. He photographed it on 3 August 1853. This time, Dr. Bird was not an experimenter. He was a practitioner. But his photographic practice soon stopped. Within five months Bird had died and his photographic work entered its 140-year-long dormancy that is now over.
--Kenneth Finkel, writing in The Annual Report of the Library Company of Philadelphia for the Year 1992 (Philadelphia, 1993), pp. 54-57

In her role as Labour's Shadow Secretary of State for Education, Lucy warned on a visit to Orchard Children's Centre in Warrington that some families in the borough will miss out on 30 hours free childcare due to Ministers' broken promises.
Lucy visited Orchard Children's Centre and meet parents at a stay and play session to talk to them about services for families and the cost of childcare.
Since 2010 the cost of childcare in Warrington has risen by 17 per cent - this means parents are now paying £750 more for a part-time nursery place than they did five years ago. Before the general election David Cameron promised working parents with 3 and 4 year olds 15 extra hours of childcare on top of the 15 hours every child receives introduced by the last Labour government.
However, since then, the government have reduced the eligibility of the scheme meaning that parents have to earn £107 per week to be eligible. As a result, low income parents will have to work more hours than higher paid parents to be eligible for the scheme.
Across the country government figures show that one in three parents who were promised the scheme by the Tories will now miss out because the government failed to properly identify the cost of the scheme.
Lucy said:
It's great to be visiting Orchard Children's Centre to learn more about the vital work staff and Warrington Labour are doing to improve services for families. Childcare is a big issue facing families across the borough.
The Government's childcare plans are in complete chaos. One in three working parents promised free childcare by David Cameron at the last election will now miss out because Ministers are unable to make the funding for their manifesto childcare pledge add up.
The government have no strategy to improve the quality of childcare and underfunding is a real issue for how the scheme is delivered. The Tories' pre-election rhetoric on childcare has failed to match reality and parents, children and our economy will pay the price.

There's more to the recently revamped Gmail app than a pretty Material Design. Read on for four new Gmail tricks, starting with…
Set a vacation responder
You can set a vacation reminder directly from the Gmail app, perfect for letting friends, loved ones and coworkers know that you won't be replying for a good long while.
For iOS:
Tap the menu button in the top-left corner of the page, then tap the Settings button (the one shaped like a gear) next to your email address.
Flip the Vacation Responder switch, then fill in the blanks – you know, start and end dates, subject line, message and so on. Tap the Save button.
Bonus tip: Any vacation message you set in the web version of Gmail will automatically sync with the Vacation Responder settings for the Gmail app, and vice versa.
For Android:
Tap the menu button in the top-left corner of the screen, scroll down and tap Settings, then tap the Gmail account for which you'd like to set an out-of-office message.
Tap Vacation responder, then fill in the start and end dates, a subject line and the body of your message. Checking the box next to 'Send only to my contacts' will ensure that only people you know will get the message.
Flip the 'Vacation responder' switch on, then tap Done.
Shush an annoying email thread
Gmail makes it easy to 'mute' an annoying message thread – like the kind where everyone chimes in with a "congrats!" or "so cute!" or "see you there"…over and over again. Once muted, the thread won't appear in your inbox again unless you're the only person in the To field.
For iOS/Android:
See a message thread you'd like to mute? Open it, tap the three-dot (for Android) or down-arrow (for iOS) menu in the top corner of the screen, then tap Mute.
Want to unmute a message? Search for 'is:muted', open the muted message you'd like to unmute, then move it back to the inbox. That'll clear the thread's Muted label.
Swipe between message threads
Here's a handy little Gmail feature that's easy to miss. Want to read the next message thread in your inbox? No need to tap the Back button to return to the inbox screen. Instead, just swipe from right to left (for older threads) or left to right (for more recent threads).
Attach big Google Drive files to your messages
With a little help from Google Drive, you can send a massive file – as in, say, more than a few GB – to a friend via email, or deliver a large batch of files.
Don't have a Google Drive account? Well, if you're using Gmail, you've actually got one already.
First, you'll need to load the files you want to send into Google Drive. Open your Google Drive account, then drag the file you want to send onto the web page. The file should begin uploading automatically.
Next, open the Gmail app, compose a new message or reply to an existing one, tap the Attach button (it looks like a paperclip), then tap Insert from Drive.
Find the file you want to send, tap it, then tap the Select button (for Android) or the curved arrow (on iOS).

CHICAGO (STMW) – A man jumped out of a moving vehicle to escape a carjacking but the van plowed over a small tree and hit the side of a West Side police station early Saturday. No one was hurt.
The van was traveling on Kedzie Avenue near Harrison Street when someone armed with a boxcutter tried to steal the vehicle, according to police.
The motorist jumped out of the van to get away, leaving the van in gear and no one behind the wheel. The van jumped a curb, ran over a small tree — destroying it — and hit the side of the Harrison District police station, police said.
The driver ran into station, 3151 W. Harrison St., and filled out a police report telling desk officers someone tried to carjack him.
Police said the building sustained no damage but the van had to be towed from the scene.
No one is in custody and the motorist was not injured, police said.

Found this site when I was looking for information/ideas on upgrading our pool to SWG and multi-speed motor. With a little searching I found answers to all my questions without even posting a question. I certainly appreciate all the time people put into making this site a success.
I have now converted to SWG (Pentair IC40) and changed pump motor to two-speed unit. SWG conversion was very easy and has been running for a month with no problems thanks to information from this site.
I found valuable information from many different people; however I would like to acknowledge the following for their time:
Waterbear for his water balance tips for SWGs
Mas985 for his motor information
JasonLion for his pool calculator
And of course SeanB for this site.
Decision to contribute to this site was easy, best money I have spend in a long time.
Thanks again

TORONTO – Passengers boarding a train in Australia teamed up to free a man whose leg was stuck in the gap between a train and a platform Wednesday morning.
Footage from the station shows passengers boarding the train at a subway station at Stirling near Perth, Western Australia when a fellow commuter slips and becomes trapped in the gap. Another passenger is seen quickly alerting the staff as they respond swiftly to help the man.
In order to transfer the weight of the train away from the trapped man, passengers were asked to move to one side of the train's carriage. The plan failed to free the man, so passengers exited the train. Transperth staff then asked for volunteers to line up and push and tilt the train away from the platform.
Mind the Gap !!, Stirling Station this am @Transperth pic.twitter.com/p0uKvltadf
— Nicolas Taylor (@nicolastaylornz) August 6, 2014
"We were able to move the train quite a bit," a passenger told The West Australian. "The train moved 5-10cm on its suspension, which was enough to free his leg."
A spokesperson for Transperth told ABC News that quick thinking prevented what could have been a horrible accident.
"Everyone sort of pitched in. It was people power that saved someone from possibly quite serious injury," he said.
While an ambulance was called to the scene, the trapped man reportedly walked away uninjured.

How to be Machiavellian and Other Useful Techniques for Taking Over the World: Rubric Creation (Day 2 of 4)
Lesson 5 of 8
Objective: SWBAT cite strong and thorough textual evidence of what The Prince says explicitly and implicitly by creating rubrics for Machiavellian leaders.
Big Idea: Reading difficult text requires support and opportunities for discussion. Today we will Provide a focus for this to make our dialogue richer and more meaningful.
We will start class with our choice reading. I will use the time to check off their homework that is due today.
To make sure that students comprehended their individual reading assignments from yesterday, I will group them in common chapter groups based on the data I have collected on their reading abilities, and have them debrief their reading and reading assignment in their homogenous reading groups (SL.9-10.1a).
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Once students have had a chance to discuss their chapter and feel comfortable moving forward, I will give instructions on their critical thinking task of the day. Using their adjectives and quotes gathered from their reading guide homework, they will be creating a rubric for Machiavellian leadership traits.
They will have a solid chunk of time to work with their groups on this activity because they are going to have to negotiate which are the most essential traits from their chapter and do the sometimes (always) arduous task of providing levels of accomplishment/proficiency. This task aligns well with both the SL.9-10.1a standard as well as the RI.9-10.1 standard as the students will be citing textual evidence in their evaluation of the leadership traits.
I will give each group a blank rubric on which to insert their textual evidence and citations and will collect them at the end of the hour so that I can assess the students' comprehension.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Wrap up and Next Steps
I will ask the students to return their desks to rows and ask for any final questions about the text of the assignment. I will make sure that I have all copies of the rubrics so I can type them up and grade each group prior to handing the assignment back for the next step of this project.

1911-2011: From Revolution To Reforms Characterizing made-in-China transition paradigms
Call for papers
Publié le mardi 26 octobre 2010 par Marie Pellen
Mao took up that vision when he proclaimed "The Chinese people have stood up!", though that vision may well still be a work in progress that Deng Xiaoping's policy of reform and opening-up "with Chinese characteristics" is striving for. Ever since 1978, the Chinese Communist Party has established a social contract that can be encapsulated by getting rich but obeying one-Party rule. However, given the many troubles that have been challenging the country's development and social order, one wonders what it will take for China to keep on going or whether it can keep on going.
The rise of China has challenged social scientists to revisit and rethink existing theories. Indeed, some observers believe China is the source of new paradigms and alternative models on the linkage between political, economic and social development, which has sometimes resulted in neologizing concepts such as sino-globalisation, sino-capitalism, pax sinica, or Beijing consensus.
Thus, this conference aims at critically reviewing and characterizing these made-in/by-China paradigms and models of development. Scholars from all relevant fields of social sciences and humanities are welcome to submit a proposal that fits the above stated goal provided their paper is an original piece of work and that has not been submitted for another publication.
Abstracts (no more than 300 words in English) for all participants are due on or before 31st January 2011.Please send your abstract as an email attachment to: email@example.com. The attachment must be in doc (MS Word) format, including the following: 1) Title and abstract and 2) Name, position, institutional affiliation, email and telephone of each author.
All participants will be notified by email by 28th February 2011 if their abstracts have been accepted for the conference.
Final papers in English will be due on 31st May 2011. Please submit your full paper to email@example.com as an attachment via email. The attachment must be in doc (MS Word) format. Paper format details are available in The Guidelines for Paper Presenters and that will be sent to all participants along with the authors' notification.
Publication:A selection of the best conference papers will be published in a peer-reviewed publication.
Registration and Accommodation: There is no registration fee for the conference. Invited paper presenters from outside Macao will have their flight/ferry and hotel accommodation reimbursed.

Dividends and other company distributions: tax credits on foreign distributions: eligibility to foreign tax credit relief
Tax credits: foreign distributions
Tax credits under ITTOIA05/S397A have no impact on a person's eligibility to foreign tax credit relief.
Higher rate taxpayers subject to the dividend upper rate of 32.5% who have had foreign withholding tax deducted in the source country of the dividend can benefit from both the dividend tax credit and foreign tax credit relief. Where withholding tax is levied at a higher rate than specified in the double tax treaty, foreign tax credit relief is calculated on the dividend amount exclusive of the dividend tax credit.
However, because the dividend tax credit is set at a level which completely extinguishes any liability to income tax for basic rate taxpayers, in practice basic rate taxpayers will not get any benefit from foreign tax credit relief where the dividend tax credit attaches to a dividend. Excess credits are lost; they are not repayable and cannot be offset against other income tax liabilities.
Overseas tax deducted from payments of manufactured overseas dividends (MODs) is treated as foreign tax - see CFM74450 (or CFM 74370 for payments before 01 January 2014).

I have lived in two nursing homes that call one of the dining room the "feed room." I always thought that name was undignified. Recently, I read in an article that some nursing homes call this space the "assisted" dining room. I like that name better.
At my previous nursing home, I sat at a semicircular table in the "assisted" dining room while the aides fed us and rolled around on small stools. It was a mini production line: bite, bite, bite and then drink, drink, drink. And so meal time went.
One aide could easily feed three residents without causing them any distress. I was continually amazed that she could do it and residents never pushed her away. She did not say much, but she insinuated herself into their space, offered them food and was persistent. They became comfortable with her and she usually got them to eat all their food.
Aides were to encourage residents they fed to eat at least 75 percent of their tray. Some of the other aides scolded residents when they would not eat. However, scolding seldom resulted in residents eating more. Some of the Greatest Generation ladies just wanted to be reed thin and refused food. Others had dementia and could not eat much at one time.
It was depressing for me to eat in the "assisted" dining room. Most of the residents were not alert and some hardly spoke. When the other residents were offered food, they usually turned their heads like they feared being burned by too hot food. Many times, I sat there hungry— smelling the aromas and wanting to eat—but was required to wait while more nutritionally challenged residents were fed.
My stomach did loop the loops watching the effort the aides put into feeding. Some residents strongly refused to eat, and watching that made me sad. After a while, I told the director of nursing that dining in the "assisted" room made me anxious and asked if could eat in my room. Thankfully, I was allowed.
When I first came here, a female resident with a traumatic brain injury had trouble focusing on eating. She was given one food at a time to prevent confusion. The aides loudly cajoled and corrected her while she ate. Watching her try to eat with the sights and sounds around her made it seem she was trying to eat in the middle of a tennis court during Wimbledon. She eventually moved to a facility closer to her family.
A couple of months ago, the table where I sit was moved from the main dining room to the "assisted" room. That way, those who needed queuing or fed were near more aides who could access them.
I wonder if residents who have to be continually coaxed to eat ever feel like they are being tormented. I also wonder if they are suffering when aides constantly call their name to get them to eat.
Mealtimes make me feel like more of a burden, and I know some other residents probably feel the same. In my case, before every meal, I give myself permission to allow an aide to feed me.

Chris Rado's Time Attack Scion AWD – Click above for high-res image gallery
Chris Rado has added another car to Team Need for Speed: an 1,100-horsepower all-wheel drive Scion TC taking aim at the Time Attack series. It's taken a few years to take the idea from concept to reality, and pictures of the build make it clear why. The zebra-marked tC with gold-plated bulkhead and hood-exit exhaust made its debut last weekend at Road Atlanta, and for some reason – maybe the snowplow? – we wouldn't be surprised to see it on a mountain in Colorado someday. Have a closer look at it in the gallery of high-res photos below.

Registered Nurses in Denmark and Scandinavia (Copenhagen)
Hello Everyone!
I'm originally from Italy, but I have been living in NYC for the past 12 years. I'm currently back in school at NYU getting my Bachelor of Science in Nursing after working for about 15 years in the hotel and hospitality management.
I was wondering if there are any nurses out there on this forum who would like to share their experiences working in Denmark or Scandinavia in general.
I'm planning to work here in the States for a couple of years and then go to graduate school to become a Nurse Practitioner.
I know that eventually I would like to go back to Europe and I always wanted to live in Copenhagen or other scandinavian city. Unfortunately I don't speak the language and even though I'm a quick learner, I've heard Danish is quite difficult!
Is there a similar profession or title equal to Nurse Practitioner in Denmark?
Thank you in advance for all your help!

> > Read the rest of our Monday stories or see the complete schedule of coverage in WGBH News Focus: Health Care on Trial
BOSTON — This week, WGBH News is broadcasting the entire Supreme Court oral arguments for the case against President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. Law professor Renée Landers will be commenting on the arguments on-air. She told WGBH News' Bob Seay that all ears will be on justices Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia. One in particular could be put in an unusual position: that of supporting the president's agenda.
Though he's known as a conservative, Scalia wrote a concurring opinion that authorized the exercise of federal power in a medical marijuana case. In that situation, he thought "the intrusion in individual economic activity was appropriate. There's language in that opinion that's very hard for him to walk away from because I think it's directly applicable to this case," Landers said. "These federalism issues sometimes take people out of their normal ideological leanings."
Along with determining the constitutionality of the "individual mandate" to purchase health insurance, the court has to decide whether Congress has the power to dictate a significant expansion in Medicaid eligibility that is also part of the bill.
And it's even possible, Landers said, that the court will decide it's too soon to decide "because the law hasn't fully gone into effect," she said. "The court wouldn't be saying necessarily that the statute in all respects is constitutional, but it will be saying we're going to postpone the decision until some future time."
Read the complete conversation:
LANDERS: I think that there are probably four really strong votes to uphold the Affordable Care Act: the four liberal justices who were appointed by Democratic presidents. And then the other five members of the court, among them there are two or three who I think are likely to vote that at least parts of the law are unconstitutional because of their previous votes in other cases. And then there are two or three who I think are really on the fence. I think that Justice [Anthony] Kennedy and Justice [Antonin] Scalia, we'll be working and listening for hints about how they might be leaning in this particular case.
SEAY: Interesting with Justice Scalia, I thought he'd be more conservative…
LANDERS: These federalism issues sometimes take people out of their normal ideological leanings, and Justice Scalia a few years ago wrote a concurring opinion in the medical marijuana case called González v. Raich, where he seemed to give this ringing endorsement of the exercise of federal power to give effect to a big regulatory scheme like regulating controlled substances, dangerous drugs and so on. He thought therefore the intrusion in individual economic activity was appropriate. There's language in that opinion that's very hard for him to walk away from because I think it's directly applicable to this case.
SEAY: So there's plenty of suspense in this case! What about the timing of this consideration? Considering it is a presidential election year, you like to think that the Supreme Court doesn't want to insert itself politically into what's going on … but certainly it will by virtue of its decision.
LANDERS: It certainly will. The only way that it won't have that effect is if the court were to decide that it's premature to decide any of the substantive issues about the constitutionality of individual mandate or the constitutionality of the Medicaid expansion at this time because the law hasn't fully gone into effect. The court wouldn't be saying necessarily that the statute in all respects is constitutional, but it will be saying we're going to postpone the decision until some future time.
SEAY: Now, the politics of this presidential campaign, especially within the Republican field, have placed the Massachusetts health care plan into the national spotlight. How, in fact, did the Massachusetts health care mandate inform what was included in the federal law?
LANDERS: The structure of the individual mandate with the tax penalty in the federal law is similar; it's not identical to, but very similar to what we've done in Massachusetts.
SEAY: Well, was there ever a question about the constitutionality of the Massachusetts law here in the Commonwealth?
LANDERS: Well, you know, for different reasons. So this case that the court is hearing is about the extent of the federal government's power to regulate in this area. The states traditionally have regulated insurance, with one exception. There is a federal statute called ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, which takes some insurance regulation out of the power of the states to regulate. And if there was a question about the legality of the Massachusetts law, it would have to do with that conflict with that federal statute. But so far that Massachusetts law's not been challenged on that basis.
SEAY: To simplify what the issues are here, I guess the most common controversy that people have heard about is this individual mandate. That is the central issue?
LANDERS: I would say that that's the most significant issue in this case. People do still have a choice about whether to purchase insurance. Unfortunately, there's an incentive not to make that choice because people who make that choice will pay a tax penalty if they have the income to afford available insurance products in their state.
SEAY: In the Affordable Care Act, there are exemptions for people who can't afford it. Does that kind of mitigate the government mandate issue?
LANDERS: Well, it does, and I think that's one of the things that the Massachusetts law recognized. You can't require people to buy a product that there's not a reasonable expectation that they would be able to afford it, which is why the law has, the federal law and Massachusetts law, also have subsidies for lower-income people to enable them to purchase available insurance products on the market. Even with those subsidies there is recognition that some people may not be able to afford the insurance product because of their personal financial circumstances, and there are exemptions in the law for people who can make that showing.
SEAY: Now, we mentioned the individual mandate. What are the other issues that are going to be debated in this case?
LANDERS: One other issue is this question of does the court have jurisdiction? Is it too soon to review the case?
Second, the other major change that the law institutes is an expansion of the Medicaid program, which is the federal/state program that provides health insurance essentially to low-income populations. In the past, in order to be eligible for Medicaid, the person had to be an adult under the age of 65, essentially with dependent children. There were some other categories of people who could be covered but that was essentially the population covered. It cut a lot of people out, a lot of low-income people out, of the opportunity to have healthcare coverage for Medicaid. The Affordable Care Act now requires that all Medicaid programs cover all people under the age of 65 who don't have some other option and whose incomes are at or below 133 percent essentially of the poverty level. And so this is totally changing that.
So now an adult male who is 45 years old who works in a minimum-wage job, who does not earn income above the other level specified in the statute, that person will be eligible for Medicaid now and before that person would not have been. So it's a big expansion, and the states are objecting to this expansion — that they will have to reconfigure eligibility standards, all kinds of things about their Medicaid programs in order to continue to participate. But in fact, on this Medicaid expansion, the federal government until 2020 is going to pay for 100 percent or 90 percent of the cost of the expansion of covering that new population. So I think the state argument that it's intrusive is a very, very weak one.
And then the final issue in the case is if the court were to determine that the individual mandate, for example, is unconstitutional, could the rest of the statute stand even without those parts of the court has declared unconstitutional?

Research:My research is in the general area of partial differential equations. Most of my work has concerned kinetic models of plasma, although highly similar models are use to describe the evolution of a galaxy. In these models the Vlasov equation is used to describe the state of the particles and the Vlasov equation is coupled to another equation which describes the field under which the particles move; this is usually Poisson's equation or Maxwell's equations. Much of my work has concerned the global existence in time of smooth solutions to such systems, but asymptotic behavior is also of interest. Some work has also been done on numerical methods and convergence results for these problems. The study of steady (in time) solutions has been of interest recently.

Ask some folks to name their favorite classic, and you`re apt to get back ``Coke.`` It`s the age we live in: a time of shooting star celebrity and psychic quake. What`s here in the morning is gone by afternoon. And no one can think of things out there lasting any longer than a hit on MTV. MTV? Isn`t that a classic? Classic . . . Spastic . . . The minute is the message . . . Leap-frog to the future and don`t glance back.
It makes one queasy, to be sure. Where in this tossing ocean are the successors to Casablanca, Guernica and The Rite of Spring?
Well, take heart for there are, say the experts, things that promise to endure, crystals to which time itself will hold a light.
To find out what they are we talked to experts on literature, music, fashion, cars, cinema and TV. We asked them what in the present popular culture is apt to pass to the future wrinkle-free.
What will remain eternally fresh, continue to bring insight and joy, and renew the parched spirit for generations to come? What, in short, will become a classic?
It`s a chancy game, to be sure. Yet some things, say the soothsayers, will gain in popularity, to where in fashion, for instance, they`ll become the uniform of the day.
There seems to be no argument that there are still classics flowing from the pens or computers of serious writers. Disagreement comes over the future importance of the novel. Laurence Donovan, critic and professor of English at the University of Miami, measures the popularity of books against TV and pessimistically proclaims, ``I don`t think books are going to be that important in the future.``
Phillip Lopate, novelist, essayist, and creative writing teacher at the University of Houston, strongly disagrees. ``Because other media are important, does not mean they`ll replace the novel. You can do things with a novel that you can`t do with film or TV . . . The whole experience of reading a book is a very intimate one. It can`t be replaced.``

MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio The Grove amphitheater opened in Mayfield Village this year after more than five years of planning and discussion.
The grassy knolls debut marks the biggest story out of Mayfield Village in Northeast Ohio Media Groups recap of 2013.
Residents danced, stretched and listened to history lessons this summer at Mayfield Villages new three-acre outdoor venue that opened in August.
Located at 425 N. Commons Blvd., The Grove welcomed residents to a swing-dance event complete with a live band for its opening night. Throughout the summer the park was home to yoga classes, Civil War reenactments and even a wedding.
It cost $50,000 and took five years for the city to bring Mayor Bruce Rinkers grassy vision complete with hiking and biking paths up to the North Chagrin Reservation to life, and the village plans to spend an additional $50,000 next year to install electricity in the park.
In December, The Grove Committee Chair Gary Regan said the amphitheaters first year was a success and they received little criticism about the new facility. Regan said a Shakespeare Festival, partnerships with Cleveland MetroParks, and dance and yoga studios are in the works for 2014.
2. CINCO SAYS GOODBYE, JEROME SAYS HELLO: Former Councilwoman-at-Large Joanne Cinco did not seek reelection in November after 26 years of service to Mayfield Village City Council. Stephen Jerome , activities committee chair and a member of the citizens advisory and Grove committees, was elected to replace her.
Cinco announced her decision at a July 1 meeting, citing a desire to spend more time with her two daughters and grandchildren. Council passed a resolution recognizing her many years of service at her last meeting in December.
Im not the oldest member of council, but Ive been on the longest, Cinco said. Ive been here for every major vote and chaired just about every committee.
Elected in 1986, Cinco said she remembers when Wilson Mills and SOM Center Roads were only two lanes.
The village is in a great spot where it is now, she said.
Voters chose Stephen Jerome to replace Cinco in the November election. Owner of Steve Jerome Plumbing, the 2004 Mayfield High School graduate said he wants to be transparent and responsive to residents, all while maintaining a balance between corporate and residential taxpayers.
Jerome won 37 percent of the votes over Carol Wessman in the November race. Incumbent Tom Marrie was reelected to the other at-large seat with 41 percent of the votes.
3. $2.8 MILLION ON WASTE: Mayfield Village Council will spend $2.8 million to replace septic systems on Eastgate and Meadowood Drives this year with sanitary sewers, a project thats been discussed since the 1990s.
Village council voted in July to seek $1 million in state funds to help pay for the project. But it will continue with or without the extra money, potentially leaving the $2.8 million cost in the hands of the city and the 53 affected homeowners.
Phase one of construction, which includes new roads and water lines, will begin in July. The cost and schedule of phase 2 has yet to be determined, but will likely take place on Thornapple and Ravine Drives, Robley Lane and Wilson Mills Road.
4. THE MAYOR AND MCDONALDS: Mayor of Mayfield Village and lawyer by trade, Bruce Rinker, has represented McDonalds in at least five other communities across Clevleand where residents protested the fast food giants move to their cities.
But Mayfield Village, where Rinker has been mayor for more than 20 years, has had an ordinance in place since 1984 that prohibits drive-through establishments from opening there.
Northeast Ohio Media Group revealed Rinkers long history with McDonalds during the weeks of protest amongst Ohio City residents against the restaurant's attempt to open in their neighborhood. Some readers saw the crossing of Rinker's political and professional careers as a conflict of interest, others found it to be a coincidence.

Quote of the Day: David Suzuki on Genetically Engineered Crops
We have been told that genetically engineered (GE) material just disperses in nature, but in fact, it is remarkably permanent. Biologically engineered genes and DNA have been found to persist in soil organisms, in insects, pollen, and especially water, and have been found in agricultural ditches as much as a kilometer from the original site. The antibiotic-resistant marker genes used in the process have survived digestion by cattle and even bees, and therefore post a threat of increased antibiotic resistance up and down the food chain. This is one reason why the technology is under a de facto ban in Europe. The genes themselves are not confined to the original, patented plant, but can be spread by wind or pollen to other varieties of the same crop, and even to wild relatives.
Canada is already having tremendous problems with genetically engineered canola, which has not only spread its herbicide-resistant trait to other canola, but is now affecting its many wild relatives, creating what are being termed "super weeds." The situation is so serious that one reason the Canadian Wheat Board is actively fighting the introduction of herbicide-resistant GE wheat, apart from market considerations, is that the species has many wild relatives that could forever become contaminated with herbicide resistance."

- Health workers who identify strongly with their professions tend to suggest ideas for helping patients
- Those who align more closely with their specific workplaces tend to focus on ways to make hospital operations more efficient
- Managers should proactively solicit ideas from employees to reduce the perceived risks of speaking up
If knowledge is power, emergency room staffers should be some of the most powerful workers around. In life-or-death situations, they know what's working and what's not, and many are full of ideas on how hospital systems could work better.
"It's always surprising to go into a healthcare setting and see people on the frontlines screaming at the top of their lungs, 'We have to change X, Y and Z,'" says Ethan Burris, associate management professor at the McCombs School of Business.
Too often, though, those ideas never get to the hospital managers who could implement them, says Burris. He researches the factors that encourage or discourage employees from speaking up.
His interest isn't just academic. His wife, a social worker, once had a boss who forbade her to speak with anyone outside their department. She eventually left for a job that paid less but made her happier.
But Burris also sees things from a hospital manager's point of view. "When you're thrust into an administrative position," he says, "you're suddenly responsible for a couple of hundred people in the ER. Each of those people has ideas for improving operations, and there's no way you can implement the majority of ideas."
The challenge is to bridge the information divide by helping both sides understand each other. In his newest study, Burris finds that different groups of healthcare workers can have very different kinds of ideas, as well as attitudes on how well management will listen. In the ER at a large southern hospital, he interviewed seven doctors, 17 nurses, and 11 technicians, asking what kinds of topics they chose to speak up about.
Those topics varied, he discovered, with how the staffers defined themselves at work. Did they identify more strongly with their professions or with their workplace?
Those who identified more with their professions would speak up with ideas for helping patients. Those who identified more with the hospital tended to offer ideas for making operations more efficient.
Not only were their issues different, but so were the levels of receptiveness their ideas received from management. Says Burris, "Some types of content in employee voice seem to align better than others with what managers are looking for."
Workplace-oriented employees felt they got more positive responses – perhaps, Burris suggests, because they raised issues their managers wanted to hear about, like saving or making money. In contrast, those who identified with their professions often felt discouraged or penalized when speaking up about shortfalls in patient care.
"They pick their battles," says Burris. "They're choosy about which topics they want to hang their hats on and bear the risk."
Blocking the flow of ideas can put a drag on business operations, he adds. In a non-healthcare study of 93 branches of credit unions, Burris found a correlation between better unit performance and a higher flow of ideas upward from employees to bosses. Units showed poorer performance when ideas flowed sideways, e.g., workers griping to other workers.
"It depends on where voice flows in an organization," says Burris. "If it flows upward, to someone who can do something about it, then voice leads to better performance. If you're going to encourage that upward flow, you stand a better chance of having important issues addressed."
How can healthcare managers encourage that flow? Burris suggests both symbolic and substantive actions.
Symbolic actions include getting out and talking to employees. "You can't just sit in your office and expect people to come your way," he says. "Feelings of risk prevent people from doing so. You have to be proactive, knock on doors, and interact on a regular basis with your employees to draw out some of those ideas."
Even subtle gestures can help put subordinates and patients at ease. Burris cites one local hospital administrator who suggested to a doctor that he try sitting on the same level as a patient. "Patients were more comfortable with him speaking at eye level," Burris says. "All of a sudden, his patient satisfaction scores started going through the roof."
The substantive part, he adds, is that managers can't just solicit ideas. They need to act on some. "If you implement none of them," says Burris, "chances are, you will not hear more ideas."

Sceneries, Birds and Flowers
Date: 19.03.2006 - 01.10.2006Helena Honcoopová, curator of the Landscapes, Birds and Flowers exhibition, selected 150 prints, books and paintings from the gallery's rich collections. As classical landscape ink painting in East Asia will be the theme of a separate exhibition to be held in 2007 (Markéta Hánová, the event's curator), the present showing is devoted to colour sceneries created by artists of Japan's popular schools of painting. Utamaro, Hokusai, Hiroshige, Shigenobu and Eizen were noted landscape painters, while Kono Bairei, Taki Katei, Watanabe Seitei, Takeuchi Seiho, Ohara Koson and other masters of the Meiji period were famed for their flowers, birds, animals and fishes, already inspired by European realism. The selection comprises works by Ogata Korin and Sakai Hoitsu – masters of the Rimpa decorative school, and the famed ryakuga rough sketches produced by Keisai Masayoshi, Hokusai and Hiroshige, and others. Also on view are hanging coloured scrolls on paper and silk with naturalistic depictions of animals and fishes. This spring exhibition, held at the Zbraslav Chateau, is a celebration of Nature as interpreted in the works of Japanese masters of the colour woodblock print.

If you are ever on the University of Hawaiʻi campus of Honolulu Community College or HCC, there is a good chance you'll hear music. That's because HCC is home to the MELE program, which stands for Music and Entertainment Learning Experience. It is the state's only school for music industry careers, so there are a lot of musically inclined students on campus.
"I don't think I will ever put down a ʻukulele or a guitar," said HCC and MELE program student Keanu Solidum. "It will always be a part of my life."
"I have been doing music for a number of years before the MELE program," said fellow HCC student Christopher Salvador, who is also in the program. "I wanted to just get educated on the business and legal aspects of the music business."
The MELE program offers a two-year degree in audio engineering with hands-on instruction on state-of-the-art equipment, and a two-year degree in the music business.
"Everything from record companies, musical publishing companies, artist managers, booking agents, marketing and promotions, all of these types of career pathways are all involved in the industry," said Eric Lagrimas, the program's interim coordinator and music business instructor. Hundreds of students have gone through the MELE program since it was launched in 2007.
"Some of our graduates have recently worked with Kanye West, Ludicrous, any aspect of the Hawaiian entertainment industry, Anuhea, as well as many groups that you hear on the radio," said Lagrimas. "We're trying to develop a flourishing entertainment industry here in Hawaiʻi, much like a Nashville or a New York and LA. And I think it starts with education and I think educating Hawaiʻi students with these type of skills will basically help the future of the industry."
The students currently in the program agree.
"I think this program is really good because it will set you up with the fundamentals that you need to grow in order to, you know, kind of grow at the same pace that all the schools are providing on the mainland so I feel they are doing a really great job down here," said Solidum.
"We have a wonderful facility here for recording as well as business and just talking to the instructors gives you a good perspective of where you might want to go with music," said Salvador.

Date: 22/6/2017
The winners of the Planning Awards, organised by Planning magazine and PlacemakingResource, were announced at a ceremony at London's Savoy Place on 21 June. The LPA Team of the year category is sponsored by POS and the Society's silver trophy was awarded to The City of London Planning Department.
The City of London's planning team deals with some of the largest development schemes in the country. But it's not just size that matters. In the last two years, the team has secured more than 12,500 off-street cycle spaces through planning obligations. New uses have been sought for historic buildings. Archaeological sites, such as the Roman Temple of Mithras at the new Bloomberg headquarters, have been protected.
Judges praised the team for its "exceptional work in an exceptional area, which must be the envy of local planning authorities elsewhere". They also described it as "a high-performing local planning authority delivering quality development at scale".
Mike Kiely, Chair of POS, who on behalf of the Society presented the award and POS Silver Cup with Rev Richard Coles, said, "Annie Hampson and her talented team at the Corporation do a fantastic job in looking after the centre of our great City and this award is well-deserved."
Mike Kiely presents the Society's Silver Trophy to the City of London service.
Also highly commended were Taunton Deane and West Somerset Council's Planning Policy Team, and Bury Council's Development Management Team.

Sunday lunch with friends at Musashi IFSC branch turned out an epic day for everybody!
Last Sunday, we met our Italian friend for lunch. It's been a while since we saw her, it was April this year – if I am not mistaken. She used to be on a long-term work assignment here in Dublin but ended December last year. So I definitely missed having her around! And now, after a couple of months working on a UK project, she's back! So we will definitely see more of her in the coming months.
We went to one of our go-to places around IFSC called Musashi. As the name suggests, it is a Japanese restaurant offering various options such as ramen, soba, and sushi platters. We have been here a number of times before but I haven't been able to write a detailed restaurant review (sorry guys!). In fact, I didn't plan to write one today (proof is the lack of photos from our lunch). But a funny and high-five worthy experience from the staff made me want to write this "mini review".

Here is a checklist for your CRM playbook. I've heard from CIOs and others that these five types of data sources must be integrated into the CRM system to provide the minimum standard of capabilities:
1. Prior sales history. What have they bought lately? Which goods sold are at or near the end of their useful life/warranty? What was the pattern of buying--just before key holidays?
2. Prior credit/payments history. It seems obvious to say that your sales folks should be focused on selling to customers who pay their bills on time. But some sales people don't know who are the deadbeats. Do they know who pays fast?
3. Warranty/service claims history and pattern. If a sales person doesn't know about a recent problem, any sales call before a happy resolution will be an unpleasant experience.
4. Call reports. Every prior contact should be in the database, along with relevant personal information.
5. Web site traffic logs. If a sales person doesn't know what the customer has been reading on your web site, how often they've visited, any pattern of the visits, everyone's time is wasted.
And if your shop meets these minimum standards, it's time to think about the next steps to sell more to existing customers. Using semantic web tools to parse news events and produce customized alerts to sales people should be on your list of things to learn about ASAP.
For example, when the U.S. Department of Defense announces a new contract award to a customer of your company, does your sales person know about that in real time? And does that alert to the sales person include information on prior purchases of components likely to be re-ordered to meet the new DoD purchase order?
If not, add this to your priority list, because your competitors are probably working on it.
For more information about how the semantic web can turbocharge your CRM system, check out this package of articles from PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Another hot new trend is connecting RFID data to the CRM system. This is going to be crucial to meeting mandates from the Food and Drug Administration and other regulators worried about recalls of food, medical devices, toys, and other consumer products.
Speedily connecting your CRM sales and marketing data with your logistics and inventory information can not only simplify recalls, but also provide a sales opportunity.
Consider this script of a telemarketer calling a corporate client: "We just received word that there is a defect in a component of the XYZs we shipped to you last week," says a telemarketer. "We know they arrived but the cartons haven't been opened.
"So we can swap out replacement XYZs at no charge? However, we have a new, higher performing version of the XYZ that is available to current customers at a 50% discount. You had bought 1,000 of the XYZ, so should I send you 1,000 of the new, improved XYZ?"
That's called making lemonade out of a lemon.
Do you have any lemonade episodes to share? Want to vent about dumb cross-sell telemarketer calls? This is the place. Leave a comment below.
