Located in the heart of Minnesota's famously scenic Brainerd Lakes Region, Precision Waterjet Concepts has built a thriving business cutting precision parts from nothing but sand and water. No toxic gases. No noxious fumes, just sand and water, pressurized to 60,000 psi.
When company co-founders and brothers-in-law Joe Quaal and Seth Jackson started their Pequot Lakes, Minn., abrasive waterjet cutting business in 2002, their primary goal was to be able to make a good living without leaving the northland they love, and without doing it any harm. From the very start, sustainability was built into their business plan. They chose abrasive waterjet as their tool of choice because it is the most environmentally friendly industrial cutting technology, and is capable of cutting virtually anything, from rubber and foam to titanium and armor plating. The enterprising partners even devised an ingenious system to heat their building using hot water generated by the waterjets.
"Going green is important to everyone," said Quaal, who serves as the company's president. "We're not hurting the environment with gases. We cut with water and sand, and the water is filtered, cleaned and reused. The garnet abrasive sand can be safely landfilled, but we are planning to recycle it as well."
During the waterjet cutting process, the water can become very warm. Many waterjet shops use a water chilling system to cool it down. This reduces water consumption by minimizing evaporation, and prolongs the life of waterjet system components. But being true Minnesotans, Quaal and Jackson decided their waterjet chilling system could do double duty and help heat their building.
"During the cold months, we take the heat that is generated by the waterjet pumps and use it to heat the building with a chiller," Quaal explained. "We cycle the water through the chiller and take the hot water and disperse it throughout the building."
Going green with waterjet cutting technology has paid off big for the Northern Minnesota business. Under the leadership of Quaal and CEO/partner Joe Glenn, the company has grown 20-30% every year, and has had to relocate three times to accommodate its growth. In 2008, Precision Waterjet Concepts built a state-of-the-art 19,000 square foot headquarters, designing it especially for the waterjet cutting process and for future growth. The company has 10 full-time employees and provides waterjet cutting services to a wide variety of industries nationwide.
Quaal attributes his company's success to an overall increase in awareness about waterjet technology as well as to his company's ISO9001:2008-certified quality assurance program and its full-service solutions approach that includes CNC programming, intricate 3D cutting, high-volume 2D cutting, CMM inspection, final machining and welding. The company even machines its own 5-axis fixtures on a vertical machining center to ensure parts are cut to customer specification.
Precision Waterjet Concepts has five waterjet cutting systems, including three 5-axis waterjets capable of cutting 3 dimensional parts and two Minnesota-made Jet Edge 2-axis water jet cutting machines for high volume cutting, including a workhorse High Rail Gantry waterjet machine with four cutting heads and 9'x13' work envelope and an 8'x13' Mid Rail Gantry system with dual abrasive waterjet cutting heads that are set up for mirror cutting large parts twice as fast. Both of its Jet Edges are powered by 60,000 psi, 150hp Jet Edge iP60-150 waterjet intensifier pumps.
Precision Waterjet Concepts originally started as a 5-axis only shop, but added its first Jet Edge system in 2006 after determining that many customers also needed high-volume parts cutting services that were impractical on a 5-axis system.
"We chose Jet Edge for our 2-axis systems because they are easier to run and maintain than the competitor systems that we looked at, plus we were looking for a manufacturer in Minnesota that could get someone in here quick if there was a problem," Quaal said. "We went with a Mid Rail Gantry for our second system because of the mirroring system and programmable head spacing. We cut a lot of extremely large parts and we can save a lot of time and money by mirroring. Fifty percent of the time, we are mirroring. The programmable head spacing also saves us 10-15 minutes per job on set up time."
Quaal noted that Jet Edge's mirroring system holds much tighter tolerances than competitor systems that he had considered.
"When we bought the second system, I got quotes from four companies and visited them all," he said. "The Jet Edge's tolerance was impressive. It met our specifications. The other machines that do mirroring don't come back into spec. Some of them are off by .030' to .040". You can't have a step like that on a part. Their head spacing tolerance had too much slop."
Quaal also noted that his Jet Edge intensifier pumps have been much less expensive to maintain than a competitor pump that powers his 5-axis systems.
"Our Jet Edge pumps cost 20% less to maintain than our other pump because the Jet Edge seals are less expensive. The seal life is similar, but we save $8,000 to $9,000 a year. The Jet Edge iP60-150s are the best thing on the market. I will keep putting them in."

FREDERICK, Md.—A noted historian of girls and girlhood in America will give a lecture to mark Women's History Month, March 30 at 7 p.m. in Coblentz Seminar Room at Hood College.
Drawing upon her new book, South Side Girls: Growing Up in the Great Migration, Marcia Chatelain, Ph.D., assistant professor of history at Georgetown University, will discuss the role African American girls have played in shaping the goals, strategies and motivations for black activism during pivotal moments in U.S. history. Her talk, entitled Writing Black Girlhood: How Race and Gender Inform Our Ideas About Age, will also present an overview on how girls have symbolized hope for the future while sometimes complicating the way adults felt about the present.
Chatelain's research focuses on the experiences of girls during the Great Migration era that occurred between 1910 and 1970, when six million African Americans moved out of the rural southern United States to the urban Northeast, Midwest and West. She has appeared on numerous PBS, CNN, C-SPAN and MSNBC news program to discuss race, history and current events.

The coming together of six of the biggest and most competitive hotel companies to create Room Key showed just how important it was to the founding partners to create a lower-cost alternative to OTAs. Yesterday, Room Key removed its beta tag and officially launched to consumers with several new features, including inventory from the unlikeliest partner: Travelocity.
Yes, you read that right. Room Key — the brands' meta search-engine answer to online travel agencies — worked out a deal with the big, bad wolf. And it was a smart move, and one that shows CEO John Davis is running Room Key, not its founding (and funding) partners.
"Are we going to do what's right for us or for our consumers," Davis says was the question to the board. "We want to take care of the customers, we're too new to the game and we came to the conclusion we needed the added inventory. There was some gnashing of the teeth, but it was a quick resolution."
The white-label agreement with Travelocity provides all of the OTA's inventory to Room Key, so consumers today have a choice of approximately 100,000 U.S. hotels compared to just the 30,000 properties from Room Key's founding and newer commercial partners.
Consumers won't know they're booking via Travelocity, and a prominent note on Room Key's site makes it clear that "A hotel logo means you book directly on that hotel's website and enjoy these great benefits [lowest rates, loyalty points and others are listed]." If consumers choose to book one of the hotels from Travelocity's inventory, Room Key offers a "book it" button versus "book at [brand logo]" and takes them to the white-label reservation page that appears to be from Room Key.
The boost in inventory brings Davis the hotels he hasn't been able to secure directly from Starwood, Carlson Rezidor, La Quinta and other independents and small chains. He says it's a "long-term contract" with Travelocity, but hopefully an "interim solution" allowing customers the breadth of choice needed to make Room Key viable now and give Davis the time he needs to add those other brands directly.
"As we bring hotels to direct connect, we take them off private label," says Davis about the revenue-sharing agreement with Travelocity. "It's s fair deal for both of us, a great tradeoff."
Davis also has contracts with CRS providers Sabre, TravelCLICK and Trust International that will bring another 20,000-plus rooms of direct inventory to Room Key by this summer, including smaller chains like World Hotels, Leading Hotels, Kimpton and Rosewood. Now that the consumer launch has passed, he also says the focus will shift to adding the larger brand companies and some announcements could be coming within the month.
Other new features unveiled with the consumer launch on May 9: a new Facebook page with consumer contests, a short-list tool for trip planning and social-media sharing, and consumer reviews and ratings from TripAdvisor.
Room Key drew 1.9 million visitors in March and although not official yet, Davis expects closer to three million in April. "I am a little surprised to be knocking on the door of three million in the third month," he says of the early results since the beta launch in January. The most important number: 25% of those are repeat customers. "That's the win. … The strategy we've laid out with exit traffic is working."
Davis says there will be some traditional online and print advertising, but the focus will remain on social networking and the exit-traffic pop-under windows from the partner's brand.com sites. "There's no use swerving the car, we're getting the numbers, let's not get crazy and spend a bunch of money on advertising when the initial plan is working."

Some of the best views anywhere in North America. Canada's first national park is pretty bad ass.
An incredibly diverse city on Canada's western shore, with amazing views. Rent bikes and go biking along the seawall in Stanley Park. This is one of Canada's greenest cities.
Canada's biggest city. Don't miss the view from the top of the CN Tower. Or go see a Blue Jays game! The Jays are hosting BlackBerry Tweeting Tuesdays all summer — you can BBM your favorite players during the game! Crazy, right?
Old Québec is a UNESCO historical site — the area dates back to the early 17th century! Not a fan of history? Well, baise-moué l'ail!
Some of Canada's best nightlife — remember, Americans, if you're 18, you're actually legal to drink here. Check to see if the local MLS team, the Montreal Impact, are playing — Impact fans are fun AND bilingual. Allez Montreal!
Get out of the city and into the wet, wild wilderness. At Ball's Falls, you're going to go deep into one of the most picturesque spots in all of southern Ontario.
The town takes its name from a 1905 science-fiction novel by J.E. Muddock. Grab your flip flops and enjoy Flin Flon!
It's the Roswell of Canada. It's a must-visit for UFO seekers. Visit Shag Harbour now or visit Shag Harbour later — just visit Shag Harbour at some point!
A gorgeous little town overlooking the North Atlantic. It's all the way the edge of Newfoundland, and it's a few hours down the Trans-Canada Highway from St. John's. It's a bit of a trek, so prepare yourself for adventure — happy or not.
Prime Minister Joe Clark once visited here! Punkey hasn't been around for a while, though.
It's just north of the Montana border, and the weather's perfect here in the summertime! The only problem is the distance from the nearest big city — Medicine Hat or Regina are the only places even semi-close. So you'll be driving and driving, and you'll think that it's almost there, but the town just never seems to come.
Don't miss the Lloyd George House of Dildo — it's been there since 1885. Just think of all the history you'll discover when you can see Dildo up close!

Self-supporting growth rate
Bannister Legal Services generated $4,000,000 in sales during 2010, and its year-end total assets were $2,800,000. Also, at year-end 2010, current liabilities were $500,000, consisting of $200,000 of notes payable, $200,000 of accounts payable, and $100,000 of accruals. Looking ahead to 2011, the company estimates that its assets must increase at the same rate as sales, its spontaneous liabilities will increase at the same rate as sales, its profit margin will be 4%, and its payout ratio will be 40%. How large a sales increase can the company achieve without having to raise funds externally; that is, what is its self-supporting growth rate?

We've reviewed a bunch of extended batteries for the iPhone in the past, but this latest twist also uses the sun to give your iPhone new life.
The SOLiCharger clips onto the bottom of your iPhone and will charge it up to 50 percent. While that might not seem like enough, keep in mind that you just need to put the SOLiCharger in the sun to give it the juice it needs to give you the juice you need.
If you don't want to wait for the sun, the SOLiCharger can be charged via USB, AC, or DC power.
{ad}I'm all about having external charging options and nothing is better than using the sun. What I like about this particular product, though, is that if you don't have the sun around, you still have three other options for charging up the battery.

This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
The condo has everything you need and want including great view of the ocean. Location is quiet and perfect for exploring the island. Several beautiful small beaches nearby. Close to restaurants and grocery store.
The management was extremely nice and helpful when I needed to extend my stay due to flight delay.
Would not hesitate to stay there again.
Thus is a great condo, right on the ocean with all the amenities for a great stay. The deck/lanai is a great place to sit for a sunrise or sunset and the location just north of "downtown" Kihei actually makes for a peaceful stay as well as easy access to other parts of the island. I would definitely stay here again. The farmers market, convenience store, and bakery across the street were very handy for whatever you might want, and a grocery store is only a mile or two down the main road. Stayed here for 5 nights--fantastic place,
This condo is very nice. The building and grounds are very well kept. It is a quiet location. The condo is clean with very nice furnishings. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom/shower is very nice. The kitchen is well equipped, except that there are no condiments whatsoever - only salt and pepper. The view from lanai is great and the beach is beautiful! Location in north Kihei is away from traffic, but centrally located to most places on the island. We have stayed at other places in Kihei, but would probably return here. The Alii resort people as well as the Kihei Beach staff are very nice and accommodating.
Our stay was amazing! The condo building was quaint and quiet...the unit was newly renovated, clean with the most amazing ocean view. We appreciated close proximity to the beach as we enjoyed long walks a couple of times a day. Also, we enjoyed the small farmers market and sugar beach bakery across the street! Easy access to the highway for day road trips. We appreciated being close to the Kihei Canoe Club where they have visitor paddles throughout the week. We will for sure be back to this unit in the near future :)
Beautiful and clean condo! View is amazing and overall the place is peaceful EXCEPT when we were awaken by maintenance doing repairs in the walkway areas. Elevator is also slow and older so we used stairs most of time. Keep in mind that the shared BBQ area is not on beach side--it's actually in the parking lot area.
We stayed there the first week of May and it was wonderful. The room appeared to have been recently renovated and the view is amazing! The resort is a little more low key and the location is perfect, you're about 20 steps from the beach behind the resort. Just a short drive to any destination on the western side of the island, Lahaina, Kaanapali and Wailea. Across the street are a farmers market, a shaved ice place and an ABC Store. We made multiple trips to each during our stay. We would recommend this unit and will certainly look into the availability on our next trip to Maui!

"Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things..." 2 Timothy 4:2-5
'Father' and 'Son' Ousted from the Trinity in New Bible Translations
A controversy is brewing over three reputable Christian organizations, which are based in North America, whose efforts have ousted the words "Father" and "Son" from new Bibles. Wycliffe Bible Translators, Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) and Frontiers are under fire for "producing Bibles that remove "Father," "Son" and "Son of God" because these terms are offensive to Muslims."
Concerned Christian missionaries, Bible translators, pastors, and national church leaders have come together with a public petition to stop these organizations. They claim a public petition is their last recourse because meetings with these organizations' leaders, staff resignations over this issue and criticism and appeals from native national Christians concerned about the translations "have failed to persuade these agencies to retain "Father" and "Son" in the text of all their translations."
Biblical Missiology, a ministry of Boulder, Colorado-based Horizon International, is sponsoring the petition.
The main issues of this controversy surround new Arabic and Turkish translations. Here are three examples native speakers give:
First, Wycliffe and SIL have produced Stories of the Prophets, an Arabic Bible that uses an Arabic equivalent of "Lord" instead of "Father" and "Messiah" instead of "Son."

They cant DO that. It is an offense to GOD and Jesus for this to happen. They haven't said anything against the Holy Spirit (amazingly enough) but that time cant be far off. The Muslims would be offended by the idea that there is such a being as the Holy Spirit as well. If they can erode the meaning of the Son and the concept of God as our Heavenly Father... it wont be long before the Spirit is under attack. Woe unto them when they do for anything said against the Son or Father is considered a forgiveable sin but words against the Holy Spirit is NOT.

Jimmer Fredette: No Way BYU Guard Should Be Player of the YearMarch 15, 2011
To listen to many so-called college basketball experts, the shoo-in Player of the Year is BYU's Jimmer Fredette.
One is left to wonder how many times they have seen Jimmer play.
Jimmer Fredette is the most unbelievable shooter this writer has seen since Pete Maravich.
Jimmer Fredette can shoot from anywhere on the court. His range has no limit.
Jimmer Fredette has the quickest release of any player seen in NCAA hoops this year.
Jimmer Fredette can score from NBA three. He can score in the lane. He can score on twisting reverse layups. He can score falling away. He can score off one foot. He can score.
Jimmer Fredette has averaged 40.04 percent on three-point shots this season and took 277 shots from long range. Incredible.
Jimmer Fredette is without question one of the most exciting players to come along in years and so much fun to watch. He is addictive.
Jimmer Fredette has one of the best handles in college basketball. He dribbles freely and with incredible skill.
Jimmer Fredette is a great passer. His passes are precise, crisp and efficient. He doesn't pass the ball as often as some guards, but when he passes it, it usually means something.
Jimmer Fredette has great court vision, both in the half court and all over the court.
Jimmer Fredette finds opportunity where most college players only find problems. He often leaves his feet for a shot when there is none. But in mid-air he can find the open man after his shot is altered better than anyone I have ever seen.
If they had an award for best shooter, give it to Jimmer and then retire the award.
If they had an award for the best offensive player, Jimmer is at the top of the class.
But Jimmer Fredette should not be the NCAA player of the year.
The player of the year should be the best basketball player in the NCAA.
When you think about the entire game, Jimmer Fredette should not even be considered by anyone who has watched him play.
Jimmer Fredette does not even intend to play defense, much less pretend to play defense. He is at the top of a 2-3 zone that must be utilized to rest Fredette and cover his complete lack of defense. He stands flat-footed in the zone and barely moves.
He makes no attempt to cut a passing lane or a driving lane. He waves players on through and conveniently gets out of their way so as not to impede their progress.
Jimmer Fredette does not rebound. He does not bother to rebound. He is waiting for the next outlet pass.
A look at the BYU stat sheet for this year will show that Jimmer averaged 3.5 rebounds per game. If that is a legitimate stat, Jimmer must have had 35 in a game against Mississippi Valley State or somebody, because Jimmer does not rebound.
Jimmer is a great passer, as mentioned above, but he averages 4.176 assists per game. You can't get a lot more assists if you are averaging almost 30 shots per game.
The Player of the Year should be an all-round player. Kemba Walker comes to mind. Chandler Parsons comes to mind. But Jimmer Fredette will never be considered an all-round player.
The prediction will now be made that Jimmer Fredette will never play as a starter in the NBA. He cannot play defense, and with no 2-3 zone to cover him at the next level, he can't play.
If there is any sense of the whole game, Jimmer Fredette cannot be the Player of the Year.

Private health insurance premium increases—an overview
Annually the Health Minister announces the average increase for health insurance premiums following the Government's assessment of applications from health insurers. This attracts considerable media attention. Insurers that then announce premium rises larger than the figure announced by the Minister, may attract consumer complaints to the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman.1
On 2 March 2009, the Health Minster announced that premiums for health insurance products would increase by an industry average of 6.02 per cent from 1 April 2009.2 This average increase is in line with a five year average annual increase of 6.1 per cent.3
This background note provides an overview of rises in private health insurance premiums in recent years, outlines possible reasons for these increases and for variations in the increases experienced by individual funds, and outlines recent changes to the regulation of private health insurance that may affect how premium rises are assessed and how they are reported.
Approval process for premium increases
Health insurers wanting to increase their premiums are required under legislation to seek regulatory approval. Applications for premium increases can be made by a health insurer at any time; however, the practice of applying for an annual increase early in the year remains the norm.
Over time there have been changes to the procedures governing the approval of premium rises. In 1996, the Howard Government introduced the practice whereby premium increases required approval by the Health Minister, in consultation with the Prime Minister and the Treasurer.4 Following an interdepartmental review of health insurance arrangements in 2003, the process for seeking premium rises at or below the consumer price index (CPI) was 'streamlined'. Those health insurers applying for lower-than-CPI increases were not required
to provide as much information to support their claim, nor undergo the same level of scrutiny,
1. For example, following premium rises in 2003, the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman received a record number of complaints relating to premium increases. Private Health Insurance Ombudsman, Annual Report 2003, PHIO, Canberra, 2003, p. 22. In recent years, the number of complaints relating to premium increases has declined.

Private health insurance premium increases—an overview
as those applying for higher-than-CPI increases.5 The Health Minister was empowered to disallow any premium increase if it:
⢠could breach a condition of registration or other section of the National Health Act 1953
⢠imposes an unreasonable or inequitable condition affecting the rights of any contributor
⢠adversely affects a fund's stability
⢠would be contrary to the public interest. 6
Any changes to premiums were required to be tabled in Parliament.
In 2007, legislative changes affecting the process for seeking premium increases were made with the passage of the Private Health Insurance Act 2007. The notification period whereby a health insurer can seek approval from the Minister to increase its premiums has been lengthened from 14 days to 60 days—allowing health insurers a longer time to make applications. The Minister is now required to approve all premium increases, unless this 'would be contrary to the public interest'. Except in the case of public interest, the other
former criteria for disallowing increases are no longer specified in the Act. If the Minister does not allow an increase the reasons for this have to be publicly disclosed.7 Effectively, this represents a significant shift away from the onus being on insurers to ensure that their proposed increases are compatible with specified criteria, to the onus being on the Minister to show cause for not approving an increase. Furthermore, the only remaining specified reason to disallow an increase—the public interest test—remains undefined.
In addition, the new Act altered the way premium increases are notified; it is no longer a requirement that information on premium rises granted to individual insurers be tabled in Parliament. However, the Minister is required to table reasons for not approving an increase.8
The new Act also included changes to the articulation of the objectives of the industry regulator, the Private Health Insurance Administration Council (PHIAC). PHIAC provides advice to the Minister (and the public) about the health insurance sector. This includes advising the Minister on premium rises.

8. Since 2001, no premium increases have been disallowed, although some have been subject to 'adjustment'.
Private health insurance premium increases—an overview
PHIAC's new role is broadly defined as attempting to 'achieve a balance between its various objectives', which as stated in the Act includes:
⢠fostering an efficient and competitive health insurance industry, and
⢠protecting the interests of consumers, and ensuring the prudential safety of individual
private health insurers.9
While PHIAC continues to provide advice on premium rises, its former objective of 'minimising the level of health insurance premiums' has however been removed from the Act. This has met with some criticism with some arguing this objective was 'vitally important'.10
Trends in recent premium increases
Generally, average premium rises in recent years have been well above the CPI, as shown in Table 1. Premium rises are driven by a combination of factors, the major ones being:
⢠an ageing population that increases utilisation and benefit outlays
⢠adverse selection, which sees younger, healthier people foregoing health insurance, but not
those most likely to need treatment
⢠rising costs associated with advances in medical technology and new treatments, and
⢠unavoidable cost pressures, such as provider costs rising faster than the CPI, prostheses
costs and Medicare Benefit Schedule increases not in line with other cost increases.11
9. Section 264-5 of the Private Health Insurance Act 2007.
10. Section 82BA(2)(c) of the National Health Act 1953, containing this objective was repealed. The Australian Physiotherapy Association argued that minimising premiums was 'vitally important' and should be retained.

Premium increases can vary across the sector with some insurers applying for and being granted higher premium increases than others. This can be due to a range of factors: in addition to variations in annual costs due to changed claiming patterns, there can also be changes in reserve levels, and in the investment income of individual funds from year to year.13 Fluctuations in annual premium increases for individual health insurance products offered by health insurers can also occur.

Private health insurance premium increases—an overview
Consumer information
In the past, details of the approved average premium increase to be applied to the range of insurance products offered by individual funds had been publicly released. While a number of health insurers do continue to provide such information on their websites, as noted above, the requirement to table this information in Parliament has not applied since the introduction of
the new Act.20 Although health insurers are required to provide information to the public on the price of their individual health insurance products, they are not required to provide details of the average premium rise that will apply to their products.21
In the lead up to the 2009 announcement of premium increases, the Minister warned health insurers not to propose large increases to premiums as a result of legislative changes that saw increases to the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) income thresholds.22 Significantly, the Minister also indicated she was considering making changes to the level of consumer information about premium increases by publishing the details of the average premium rise for each individual fund, rather than the usual practice of only publishing the industry-wide average. The intention, she stated, was 'to enable consumers to assess their own fund's performance against alternatives' and 'drive more competition'.23 However, when the annual premium increases were announced by the Minister in March 2009, only the average premium increase across the sector was provided. There was however a subsequent announcement in the 2009-10 Budget context that from 2010 the Government intends to
20. Under the now repealed Section 78 (8) of the National Health Act 1953 information on premium increases was tabled in Parliament (generally under the title 'Report on private health insurance premium increases') and was also made available by the Private Health Insurance Administration Council on its website, but this information is no longer available. Some reports on premium increases are retrievable through the Internet Archive. See Report on premium increases with date of effect in the quarter ending June 2007, viewed 6 April 2009.
21. Nor are they required to advise the public about the premium rises they seek approval for each year, as these are regarded as commercial in confidence.
22. The income thresholds for the MLS—a surcharge which applies to high income earners who opt out of private health insurance—were increased in late 2008. This led to claims that as a result, many would drop their private health insurance having a consequent impact on health insurance premium costs.

Private health insurance premium increases—an overview
publish individual insurers' average premium increases, in order to 'enhance the transparency of the premium-setting process'.24
Concluding comments
Over the last five years, increases to private health insurance premiums have averaged around 6 per cent—that these have been well above CPI increases has attracted some public concern. However, premium increases higher than CPI can be expected into the future as there remain a range of cost drivers pushing up the costs of health services; such as an ageing population, advances in expensive medical technologies and treatments, and the impact of the economic downturn, to name a few. Other recent regulatory changes affecting the MLS and the private health insurance rebate may also influence insurers' decisions to seek increases to the level of their premiums.
Nevertheless there has been considerable variation in the increases of individual funds, some being substantially higher than the average. Competition and consumer choice between these funds have not been assisted by recent legislative changes to the reporting requirements of premium increases that have meant that that there is now less information publicly available on the premium increases of individual funds. The Government's recent announcement that from 2010 it will make available consumer information on individual private health insurance premium increases should alleviate this situation.
Other legislative changes introduced in 2007 may however continue to affect the Government's process for considering premium increases. There is now only one specified reason in the legislation for disallowing an increase—the public interest test—but precisely what is meant by 'public interest' remains unclear and so far, untested. At the same time the industry regulator's role has been recast. PHIAC's formerly explicit objective of 'minimising the level of health insurance premiums' is no longer one of its specified legislative objectives. Any impact of this is yet to emerge.
In such an environment, transparency about the premium-setting process and the availability of consumer information about premium rises and the drivers of those rises are likely to become of greater import.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Friday it was in contact with Boeing as the company investigates a fire onboard one of its 787 Dreamliners at London's Heathrow airport.
The plane is operated by Ethiopian Airlines.
"We are aware of the situation and we are in contact with Boeing as they assess the incident," a FAA spokeswoman said.
It was not clear if the fire was related to the battery, which was the cause of the previous fires on Dreamliners.

text: Tate curator of 19th century British art, Alison Smith, talks about five George Frederic Watts works in the Tate Collection tabsTranscription The Eve Trilogy With Alison Smith, Curator (19th Century British Art), Tate Britain "These three paintings comprise the Eve trilogy. So we have She Shall be Called Woman in the centre, with Eve Tempted, and Eve Repentant on the other side." "Watts originally conceived these as being part of the House of Life sequence of paintings, but they later evolved into these three large powerful compositions." "I think in terms of Watts' own mythology, these readdress the idea of the evolution of the human soul, of the human body. So it's really the emergence of consciousness. And it's quite interesting in these paintings how the content of the theme is paralleled by Watts' very innovative technique." "To take the central panel, She Shall be Called Woman. This is a very powerful picture. And it shows Eve's really ascension to life. It's almost like a rocket taking off into outer space. You have all this smoke billowing out around her, and you almost feel the form is evaporating or dissolving, as much as it's actually coming together." "I think it's the idea of spirit or energy merging into flesh. He's trying to really show that moment of impact when just energy or atoms or whatever become something solid. And so you have the figure of Eve sort of shooting up towards the sun. And around her you have these wonderful trails of lilies and flowers and birds. So there's an enormous explosion of light and colour to really show the glory of this moment of creation." "The other two paintings I think you should really see like a triptych either side of the central She Shall be Called Woman. And they are more heavy in terms of representation of the female figure. In Eve Tempted, for example, it's a very masculine depiction of the female form. Watts when he painted the nude didn't actually pay particular attention to the model which explains the rather peculiar anatomy, if for example you look at her enormous shoulders, or the way the arms actually interlock with the shoulders, it can be seen as rather awkward. But I think that's deliberate on his part." "I think he was influenced in this work particularly by Venetian painting, also by Michelangelesque sculpture, as well as by the sculpture of ancient Greece. So it's quite sculptural in the way the figure moves. And I think he wants to get this dynamic contraposto into the pose, to show how she is intoxicated by this wonderful profusion of flowers around." "And of course the cheetah rolling on the ground accentuates that idea of sensual pleasure. She's really giving in to the senses. She's totally succumbing to it. And I think to that end he wanted to create a sensual image, but he justifies it in terms of a narrative, because it's the moment when Eve is tempted." "Eve Repentant can be seen as a parallel to Eve Tempted. This shows Eve after the fall, reclining against a tree, totally abandoned in grief. And the compositional lines all drag down downwards. I think it's the idea that these downward lines really correspond to the nature of her grief and her despair. So I think it's a painting which communicates through abstract elements, with the dark colours, her illuminated form, and these descending lines." "I think Watts is quite a difficult artist to like. If one has to live with a painting by Watts, they're quite sort of, they're quite heavy, quite didactic. The paint surfaces aren't immediately attractive to the eye. But they are very powerful compositions. I think he's an artist who repays careful study." "I don't think Watts perhaps appeals at first sight. I think the more you get into his subject matter, his technique, the more you see his paintings perhaps assembled as a whole, and see these correspondences between different works, I think the impact they were intended to have, like a great work of music, with different themes and variations, building up upon one another, totalling one grand symphonic statement, I think in those terms they're monumental and very powerful pieces."

Modtech designs & builds a variety of modular homes and specializes in multifamily modular buildings such as apartments, condominiums, town homes and duplexes. Modern permanent modular homes are indistinguishable from site built projects and are now available in single and multistory configurations. Numerous custom features are now available from Modtech modular homes including GREEN sustainable options. Modular buildings are constructed to the same standards as site built homes and inspected numerous times throughout the construction process, ensuring a high quality finished home.
Modtech operates production facilities in various locations providing complete control of the modular building manufacturing process and ensuring high quality. A variety of prefabricated homes over a wide price range to fit different budgets and needs are available factory direct.
Modtech's Off-Site Construction process provides numerous benefits to the modular home customer. The Off-Site construction process allows modular homes to be manufactured in a highly efficient manner using the latest technology. The process allows approximately 75%-95% of each modular home to be prefabricated in the factory while the site is being prepared, therefore saving time. In addition, weather delays and rework due to weather damage are also decreased. More work can be accomplished in the same amount of time due to the production efficiencies gained through factory infrastructure. Modtech production facilities are located near large sources of skilled labor, therefore the modular homes are not affected by labor shortages and remote locations. Overall, the Off-Site construction process can reduce construction time by as much as 60% which can relate to a large financial impact through incremental revenue and capitalization rates.
Other benefits of Off-Site construction include: reduced site traffic, noise, safety risk & community complaints as only limited personnel are needed on site. This reduction in site disruption also makes modular homes well suited for urban in-fill projects. Let Modtech show you how Off-Site Construction can fulfill the desires and needs of modular home customers.

B. J. Novak's One More Thing Book Trailer Is Exquisitely French
Co-starring Mindy Kaling.
These two. B.J. Novak and Mindy Kaling are at their black-and-white best in the new trailer for Novak's short-story book "One More Thing." So snide, so condescending, so competitive in an erotically charged way. Most importantly, so, so, so very French.

This was a case of a long marriage, the parties having met in 1978 and married in 1986. They separated in 2003, after a marriage of 17 years, and divorced 2 years later. There were 4 children of the marriage, aged 19, 17, 16 and 13 at the time of trial. The younger 3 were still at school and all were living with the wife.
Both parties had legal qualifications, although only the husband had pursued a career in law. By the time of hearing, the husband was the managing partner of a major Perth law firm. The wife had worked part-time in different legal capacities, while also performing the role of primary homemaker and parent. At the time of hearing, there was a significant disparity in the parties' earnings, with the wife earning approximately $22,000 per annum and the husband's partnership income exceeding $550,000 per annum, and as much as $870,000 per annum a few years previously.
Notwithstanding the husband's high income, the parties' ages (the husband was 50 and the wife 46 at the time of hearing) and the length of the parties' relationship, the matrimonial assets were modest. They comprised:
In addition, the trial judge added back to the pool of assets $72,000 spent by the husband on his new partner's property from the husband's post-separation income.
Before the trial judge, the parties had agreed that their respective financial and non-financial contributions during the marriage and after separation were equal. It did not fall to the trial judge, therefore, to assess contributions, but only to consider section 75(2) or future needs factors. Not surprisingly, the trial judge found that those factors weighed heavily in the wife's favour, especially given the significant disparity in the parties' earning capacities and that the wife would have the ongoing care of the children. The trial judge ordered that the wife retain:
The husband was left with:
The effect of the trial judge's orders was that the wife was to receive 93% of the net asset pool, as calculated by the trial judge, including the $72,000 spent by the husband on his new partner's property and added back into the pool. The trial judge found that it was just and equitable to award a 43% adjustment to the wife for future needs factors on the basis of the small size of the asset pool. Had the asset pool been larger, it is likely that the wife would have received a smaller overall percentage of the net assets.
The husband appealed, raising the following main grounds:
The Full Court ultimately awarded the wife approximately 98% of the asset pool. Like the trial judge, the Full Court found that it was appropriate to award a significant future needs adjustment given the small size of the asset pool and the other relevant future needs factors. The Full Court varied the trial judge's orders by requiring the husband to discharge only $150,000 of the wife's mortgage, leaving her responsible for the balance of that mortgage of $124,000. The Full Court did not disturb the trial judge's orders for combined spouse maintenance, child support and adult child maintenance of $100,000 per annum.
The trial judge had ordered the husband to pay one half of the wife's costs, on the basis that the trial judge's orders very closely resembled an offer that the wife had been prepared to accept. The trial judge thought that the husband should have settled on that basis and so ordered him to pay some of the wife's costs.
The Full Court's orders were more favourable to the husband than the offer. In addition, the Full Court did not find that the parties' financial circumstances warranted a costs order in either party's favour. That is, when considering the parties' respective financial circumstances, the Full Court weighed up the vast disparity in the parties' earnings against the court ordered obligations on the husband to continue to support the wife and children and to reduce the wife's mortgage by $150,000. Ultimately, the Full Court set aside the trial judge's costs order and left each party to pay their own legal costs.

I bought this one dormant in a pot in April. It had 10 eyes, but took forever for all of them to unfurl. I don't think it like being in the pot as it seem to come alive once we stuck it in the ground. I suspect this one will be much larger next year.

What kind of love?
|How You Are In Love
You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time.
You tend to take more than give in relationships.
You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time.
You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change.
You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

Back in October, Beyoncé shot down a rumor that she was wearing a fake baby bump after an appearance on an Australian talk show. When Beyoncé sat down for the interview, it appeared that the bump deflated, prompting many to wonder if the pop singer was really pregnant or faking it.
Now, months after the birth of her daughter, Blue Ivy, Beyoncé is talking to People magazine, about the gossip. "That was crazy. It wasn't hurtful, it was just crazy," she says in the Most Beautiful issue, in which she was named the world's Most Beautiful Woman, TVGuide.com reports. "[I thought] 'Where did they come up with this?' It was a fabric that folded — does fabric not fold? Oh my gosh, so stupid."
The chitchat didn't just bother Beyoncé. Her mother also opened up about the allegations in the interview, adding, "I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months. As a mother, it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous."
In the magazine, out now, Queen B addressed not only the baby bump controversy, but also her commitment to being sexy, even at nine months. "I committed to the end and wore my kitten heels. It makes me laugh thinking about it," she said. "But after many hours of labor, I didn't care how I looked. It was all about the miracle that God gave me — the opportunity to deliver a human being."

On Tuesday, July 9, the members of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band logged their second consecutive night on "The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon." Arrayed alongside versatile hip-hop ensemble the Roots, the show's house band, they gamely provided accompaniment to Fallon's Paula Deen jokes, David Spade's strip club stories, and Kris Jenner's show biz come-ons.
This was not the same Preservation Hall Jazz Band that first assembled in 1961 in the primitive French Quarter venue overseen by Allan and Sandra Jaffe. Rather, this was the Preservation Hall Jazz Band 2013, the forward-thinking ensemble led by the Jaffes' son, Ben, its artistic director and tuba player. It's the Preservation Hall Jazz Band that is on Twitter and a regular at the Millennial-skewing Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee.
And it is the Preservation Hall Jazz Band that, on Tuesday, released "That's It!," the first album of all-original material in the PHJB's history.
Guiding the project as co-producers were Jaffe and Jim James, the shaggy, angelic-voiced singer of arena rock band My Morning Jacket. Indicative of the fresh creative paths down which Jaffe has steered the PHJB, My Morning Jacket in general, and James specifically, have forged an unlikely but mutually beneficial creative exchange program.
- What: A CD release party for 'That's It!,' the first album of all-original material in the band's history.
- When: Wednesday, July 17, 8 p.m.
- Where: Preservation Hall, 726 St. Peter St., 504.522.2841.
- Tickets: $15 at the door.
That James understands what Preservation Hall is about was especially evident during the 2012 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, when he was among the special guests for the PHJB's 50th anniversary celebration at the Fair Grounds. He poured himself into a slow, spooky version of "St. James Infirmary," a highlight of the show.
James joined the PHJB for a week of recording at Preservation Hall in the French Quarter last November. "That's It!," the result of those sessions, released via the Legacy imprint of Sony Music Entertainment, marks the PHJB's return to a major label.
Jaffe, trumpeter Mark Braud, clarinetist Charlie Gabriel, saxophonist Clint Maedgen, trombonist Freddie Lonzo, pianist Rickie Monie, tuba player Ronell Johnson and drummer Joe Lastie Jr. introduce themselves boldly with the bawdy opening title cut, a Jaffe composition. Horns razz and flare as if it is Arabian Night at a Storyville bordello; Braud lights up a statement of a trumpet solo.
The opening banjo signals that this instrumental "Yellow Moon" is not to be confused with the Neville Brothers classic of the same title – but it is similarly evocative, up until its playful conclusion. "The Darker It Gets" will appeal to fans of more traditional jazz. The haunted piano of Jaffe's final coda, "Emmalena's Lullaby," offers further proof that this is a Preservation Hall Jazz Band no longer satisfied to deal in the old clichés.
To that point, "That's It'!" is also notable for what it is not. There is no "Lil Liza Jane," no "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans," no "St. James Infirmary." Such New Orleans standards are all classics, but they've been done to death. There is little reason for anyone -- least of all Preservation Hall -- to revisit them yet again.
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band cannot, and should not, escape or avoid its esteemed and considerable legacy. But a respect for, and connection to, the past should not preclude looking forward. Music, and a musical community, that does not occasionally infuse itself with fresh blood risks being relegated to a museum, or dying. On "That's It!," the Preservation Hall Jazz Band sounds more alive than ever.

Android and Xbox 360: a match made in heaven?
Hey, Android Atlas
Running an ethernet cable between my Xbox 360 in the basement and the router in my parents' bedroom has proved to be impractical. And as a poor high school student, I lack the funds to buy an Xbox wireless adaptor. Is there any way that an Android user could plug their phone into an Xbox 360 via USB and use it to connect the Xbox to a wifi network? If so, please let me know. A non-root option is preferred, but not necessary.
Love the show,
Adam from Utah
P.S. If it helps: my phone is an unrooted Motorolla Cliq 2 running Froyo.
Nope. The problem is that the XBox 360 cannot accept an internet connection over its USB port, heck it can barely accept USB drives over its USB port. You're going to have to run the cable or save up for the Wi-Fi. As a poor high school student and (what I'm assuming to be) a pretty seriously geeky gamer, I suggest the cable.
Voicemail: Question about GPS reception on the LG G2X
If you're using the stock&unrooted ROM, you're pretty much stuck with the performance you've got. I'm not sure if the LG G2X will get ICS, but nothing in the current 4.0 changelogs that I've seen mention any specific GPS fixes. You could try clearing your A-GPS cache to see if that works (instructions here: http://bit.ly/rH39yU)
Chances are that you've already done this using the GPS Status app with the 'Manage A-GPS state' tool under the Tools menu. If not, go ahead and try that and then download new A-GPS XTRA Data in the same menu while you're at it. Just make sure you're outside w/ a clear view of the sky when you do it.
If your son's phone is rooted, then you can try flashing a new GPS.conf file, but YMMV wildly here. Instructions, if you're interested, are here:
Google TV Update
Thank You for the mention of Goggle TV and the generally positive comments about the honeycomb update.Myself, I'm loving it. It really is the UI it should of come with last year. I am a little disappointed with the app selection. I will say this… this is one platform I would be more than willing to pay for good widgets and apps. I want a weather, facebook and goggle calendar appointments widgets NOW, and I will pay money! LOL.
The initial ui did have a ""what's On"" function but it was text based, nested menus and cumbersome. The new graphic version is sweet and I find myself using it more and more.
As for the controversy about the major networks not allowing GTV to connect to their content..I think they will slowly and quietly begin to allow access, but for now I'm happy that most network programs can be found using the GTV search and be had for pay-to-play through Amazon.

Hello Android Atlas!
I'm an avid listener, and I have a question.
Can I trust GetJar.com? The site seems too good to be true. It offers paid Android apps for free. I've always heard that you should only download Android apps from the official Market to avoid malware.
Are the apps from GetJar safe? Thanks!
As always, love the show!
Bad Advice for Amazon Appstore Backup
Someone wanted advice on backing up Amazon Appstore apps. To the point, you do not have to worry about backing up the apps you download from Amazon. If you switch devices or wipe your current device your Amazon Apps will be available anytime you reinstall the Amazon Appstore. Simply download the apps again from My Apps.
This is in reference to the VM from Eric on episode 70, I believe. If you'll give it another listen, you'll notice that I too stated that Amazon will let you re-download purchased apps.

Pet Sitter in Leduc
Hello my name is Tammy I am a pet lover and love helping other owners while they are at work or holidays or just functions that will take you away for a long period of time. I am a dog owner as well and think of her as my daughter and couldn't live without her so I do understand what it's like to be worried about your pet while away. Thats where I come in because of my job as a school bus driver I am able to help out with these times. If you have an appointment for pet as well I can take them there as well, I just charge the fee and a little more for gas to and from depending how far away it is. I don' t believe in over pricing someone either I am doing this to supplement wage loss from being a bus driver and I love animals and to be able to help someone is what I'm all about. The experience I have is walking dogs of up to 5 at a time some beginner training eg. Sit, heel and socializing with other dogs. I had a small business walking and pet sitting as well as let outs in the day while owners are at work or on functions and couldn't bring their pets. I have also given injections and didn't like it very much just didn't like causing pain but knew it was for their health.
