A state lawmaker wants to establish basic standards for the short-term day care centers that are growing in popularity at fitness centers, shopping malls, grocery stores and other businesses.
Unlike full-time child care providers that are regulated by the state Department of Social Services, the so-called drop-off centers are not licensed or required to follow any regulations. SB766, by state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, would provide some basic protections for families.
"There's just more and more groups that are utilizing this as a way of attracting customers," said Yee, a child psychologist.
His bill would require workers at drop-in day care centers to undergo criminal background checks and be at least 18 years old. It also would mandate a minimum ratio of one caretaker for every 10 children up to age 6 and one worker for every 15 children age 7 and up.
The bill will be heard for the first time Tuesday in a Senate committee.
Yee's office said drop-in day cares are exempt from licensing because parents and guardians are on the same premises. Licensed child care centers must meet stringent health and safety requirements, as well as maintain a certain ratio of workers to children.
Yee said the catalyst for his bill came from a toddler who suffered a cut on his forehead when he fell in the child care area of a California Family Fitness center in Sacramento.
Mark Magee and his wife, Lucinda Winward, said their 4-year-old son, Jack, tripped and fell on a miniature kitchen set when he was 21 months old in December 2011. That left a permanent scar from 10 stitches on his forehead.
The family is now suing the fitness chain in a case that is expected to go to trial in June.
The parents said they were unaware that the gym's day care center was not regulated and believe that California Family Fitness created an unsafe environment for their son.
"All the representation that they made to us never made us reasonably question that they weren't a licensed facility," Magee said.
The couple and their attorney, Ognian Gavrilov, support Yee's bill.
"Having rules in place kind of reduces the chances of accidents," Gavrilov said. "That's why we have speeding rules on the freeway."
The owners of the fitness chain say Yee is overreacting.
California Family Fitness says its standards exceed the ratios and requirements proposed in Yee's bill. They dispute the couple's account of the accident and say Yee is misrepresenting its facilities and staffing levels to advance his bill.
As pioneers of day care centers at gyms, co-founders Larry Gury and Russ Kuhn said they built their company's reputation around catering to families and defend their child care facilities as top-notch.
California Family Fitness has children's centers at 15 of its 16 Sacramento-area gyms, which are visited by an average of 1,800 children each day.
"We're an expert in this area," Gury said in an interview. "We're proud, and anyone can look at anything they want in here. We know we don't have accidents."
Yee said the bill is not about the gym but rather tries to address the need for statewide standards.
"I don't wish any negative publicity on anybody, and I don't want anybody to be hurt," he said. "But this bill is not so much about them as the entire industry, where more and more companies are utilizing these child-care facilities, and trying to be proactive and ensure that kids are not going to get hurt."
Rachel Pocus, 28, of Sacramento, placed her two sons, ages 3 and 1 1/2, in one of the California Family Fitness child care centers last week while she worked out. She said she didn't realize the center was not regulated, but said there did not seem to be a need for the state's involvement.
"I feel like any parent can come and check, and if they're not comfortable with it they can take their kids home," Pocus said. "I just feel like there's so much government regulation and there's already not enough money for everything that I don't think it's necessary."

Bad guys wear the black hats. Maybe black masks too. Kobe's been rocking the standard clear facemask the past few games. But who says you can't protect a broken nose and be stylish at the same time? This is the guard Bryant will don tonight, and it has more than a whiff of MF Doom about it.
UPDATE [8:26 pm]: Seems that the black mask is no more. Kobe had some adjustment issues with the fit and ditched it early in the second quarter. [via Kevin Ding]

Players taking lead on tougher PED penalties
Players got what they wanted. They wanted a message sent that cheating is not OK, that they will not tolerate it and that if they must take a vocal and active role in ridding the game of performance-enhancing drugs, so be it.
They want cheaters punished. They're for tougher penalties, too. They were furious when Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun escaped punishment a year ago, and they applauded when he was suspended for the remainder of the season on Monday.
Players got what they wanted. They wanted a message sent that cheating is not OK, that they will not tolerate it and that if they must take a vocal and active role in ridding the game of performance-enhancing drugs, so be it.
They want cheaters punished. They're for tougher penalties, too. They were furious when Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun escaped punishment a year ago, and they applauded when he was suspended for the remainder of the season on Monday.
"I think it's probably something that should have happened last year," Rangers outfielder Lance Berkman said.
Player attitudes may not have changed dramatically over, say, the last decade. There probably never was a time when a majority of rank-and-file players were hardcore users of performance-enhancing drugs.
What has changed is that players are speaking up, not just to reporters, but to their union leadership. Gone are the days when the Major League Baseball Players Association fought drug testing at every turn. This revolution began from within.
"I just want to make sure that the game is played clean and should be the way it is," Yankees closer Mariano Rivera said.
Rangers outfielder David Murphy added: "Those of us who have not cheated and have worked hard and done everything that we're supposed to do to get to where we are in this game, it's difficult to look at it as an even playing field when there's guys who've cheated. I feel like we're definitely moving in the right direction."
Players know that one positive test from one player stains the reputation of every player. Major League Baseball will never rid itself of performance-enhancing drugs. That's just the way things are.
As long as competitive people are involved, there will be some who look for shortcuts, even shortcuts that could kill them or send them to prison. But baseball has the best testing program on earth.
Baseball also has the owners and players working together on this issue. Braun's suspension is a victory for the players, because they made sure their voices were heard.
Players were also angry when Melky Cabrera served his 50-game suspension last year and then landed a two-year, $16-million contract from the Blue Jays. That's when players began publicly voicing their support of tougher punishment for first-time offenders. That's coming, too, just as surely as there are more Biogenesis suspensions around the corner.
In that way, this is a good thing. For years, players and owners argued over steroid testing. In a legendary 2002 confrontation with an official of the MLBPA, Orioles owner Peter Angelos dared the players to go on strike over steroid testing.
Players did the right thing then in agreeing to steroid testing, and they've agreed to toughen the program several times since. Their new leadership, led by Michael Weiner, has left no doubt where it stands on the issue.
It's astonishing that baseball's pursuit of the Biogenesis customers has been criticized by some. What's the alternative? To look the other way? To allow players to do whatever they want?
What message does that send to every player? If stars like Braun are allowed to use, what does that tell the guy at the bottom of the roster fighting for a job?
This is about doing the right thing, and if that means another flurry of negative headlines, big deal. Baseball has survived far worse than this.
There surely was a sense of relief around the Brewers that they can prepare for next season and that Braun can resume his career without doubt hanging over his head.
"This has always been a cloud over the ballclub, not knowing what's going to happen," Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said. "I am glad, and I think as an organization we are happy that Ryan, the union and the Commissioner's Office have all put their heads together and made a wise decision for baseball and for us, the organization."
Every player considering cheating knows how much he's risking. He's risking not just jail and his health, but also his reputation and his career. Braun will have years to change the way people think about him, but his reputation may never be fully restored.
This is about doing what's right for the players and doing what's right for every high school kid out there who is being tempted. Commissioner Bud Selig and the owners were never going to be able to clean the game up on their own.
They needed the players to take a leadership role, not just with words, but with deeds. That's what has happened. More than anything else, that's the message from this week.

After announcing the new theme park attraction, which will be built in Disney's Animal Kingdom, Cameron and business partner Vince Pace, whose Cameron Pace Group (CPG) is helping filmmakers and broadcasters create 3D content, spoke at the 3D Entertainment Summit about the bright future 3D holds. Cameron took some time from his busy schedule to talk about the role video games will play in the Avatar universe, including an MMO experience, in this exclusive interview.
What role do you see videogames playing in the 3D landscape with PlayStation 3, Nintendo 3DS and NVIDIA 3D Vision?
Well, we love it because it's another reason to buy a 3D display, another reason to buy a big home flat panel or whatever it is. We don't do games, but we see that as part of the market and as proof that we're going to take in all of our entertainment in 3D and within five years we're going to be demanding it in 3D. If it's not, it's going to feel like it's in black and white.
What do you say to the naysayers who don't believe in 3D gaming or entertainment?
People apply these sort of artificial arguments, "Oh, well this is going to be good in 3D but this doesn't really need to be in 3D." But the entertainment industry spent twenty years arguing about what should or should not be in color and then color TV came along and everything was in color. Every movie was in color, every TV show is in color and we never went back. I think that that's what 3D is going to be like. I think all of these arguments about what should and should not be in 3D are going to go away because frankly we see in 3D. You're hardwired for 3D. All life on earth is hardwired for 3D, not just human beings. There's an evolutionary reason why we see in 3D. It makes us better hunters. It makes us better at getting through the woods when a predator is behind us. We can't not be in 3D. So it's ludicrous to say one thing is going to be better in 3D and another thing is going to be better in 2D. That's just people holding on to a reality that's shredding all around them.
Ubisoft's Avatar was the first cross-platform 3D video game on the market. What would you like to do differently with the Avatar 2 and 3 video games?
Well, one of the things we should do - and we can't help but do it differently - the Avatar game hit the street well before the movie came out and it wasn't like an anticipated movie in the sense it was a known brand. It had to prove itself. And Avatar, the movie, entered the marketplace with a healthy opening but nothing resounding, nothing that certainly would have told you it was about to set the record as the highest grossing film in history. It had to prove itself in the marketplace. By the time it had proven itself, the videogame was kind of old news and so it underperformed, but the underperformance I think was just a release timing issue. The actual game itself I think, while it can be improved, I think they did a pretty damn good job integrating the stereoscopic experience into the gaming experience.
How will advances in 3D since the first game impact the next games?
I've got lots of ideas about how to do things better because as you play the game you go crashing through brushes and things and there's a lot of hurtful stereo if you don't play well. And you don't want to start playing your game based on not running into things because it hurts in 3D. You want the 3D to adjust itself to you and in real time in the middle of the gameplay, so that's the next level that we have to get to. And I don't think you'd offer the game differently for 3D. I think a good game is a good game and I think the play of that game in 3D just is better, but I don't think you're going to author the game differently or design the game differently for 3D necessarily because games tend to be immersive. They tend to be relatively point-of-view. You move through a battle space, you move through a game environment, and that's all great for 3D already, so what would you do differently. I think what we have to do is work on the tech of getting the 3D not to be paying for it to be depthful without being painful when you do close proximity to objects.
What are your thoughts on turning Avatar into an MMO video game experience?
I think Avatar is a perfect IP for an MMO. It's a very, very big world and based on the first film, you might not sense that, but we're talking about an entire planet, an entire alter world, and in fact a universe that has other planetary bodies, as well, and other cultures, other life forms. Eventually people will see enough scope to be able to see how the MMO will work, but that's going to have to be launched…the timing of that is going to have to be carefully orchestrated with the release of the second and third film because we don't want to be giving away elements before the fact. And also I think one of the cool things about an MMORPG is that you have to have a lot more possibilities for characters than what you see in the film. The film is really just a leaping off point, so we've got to create a rich and diverse world that lives well beyond the films.
Beyond the games, what would you like to see in the Avatar Disney World Pandora that will be built in Orlando?
I definitely want to do a flight attraction of some kind. I love "Soarin' Over California" (at Disney's California Adventure Park in Anaheim). Flying is a big part of the movie. One of the things people liked the most at test screenings was going up into the floating mountains in the flying sequences. We may have banshees, Leonopteryxes, maybe some other flying creatures that don't make their appearance until the second and third films.
What excites you about 3D today compared to when you were working on the original Avatar film?
Well, I think that there's been a tremendous migration into what would be considered the home viewing environment, sports, and we did some ballet stuff. What excites me is we're taking the bookends of what we understand 3D to be contained to, a sci fi film or a horror film, and really removing them where the possibilities for 3D are really endless. When done correctly, it brings out more emotion, more character, more athleticism than any other medium out there.

SANTA FE (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez has signed a measure into law to allow state officials to conduct immediate criminal background checks before placing foster children in the emergency protective custody of family members, neighbors or other individuals.
The governor said Thursday the new law can help prevent children from being placed in a potentially dangerous home with someone who has a criminal history.
The state took custody of several children in 2005, and placed them with grandparents. A background check took several weeks to complete and officials found that the grandfather had criminal convictions in another state. The children were moved to other caregivers.
The law will allow the Children, Youth and Families Department to make use of a federal database for quicker checks of someone's criminal history.

Hello everyone! Today I am reviewing the Adore Bi-Tone Yellow contact lenses and the Solotica Natural Colors 'Mel' contact lenses. In this video, I compare the price, color selections, comfortability, and would I repurchase lenses from both companies. I have to be honest and say that I don't "love" the Solotica Natural Colors 'Mel' contacts simply because I find that they dont look realistic and actually look pixelated up close. They even look kinda pixelated when in natural room lighting and in photos. However, they look BEAUTIFUL in the sunlight. They look absolutely stunning and gorgeous. Just look at the pictures that I took and see for yourself. They are more on the greenish side and they have a lime-green center. They have a slight limbal ring along the edges and Im not particularly a fan of the limbal ring. The only ones that I like the limbal ring on is the Natural Colors 'Ocre'. As you all know, those are my FAVORITE lenses and the limbal ring doesn't look too noticeable. I absolutely love the doll-eyed effect that they give my eyes.
As for the Adore Bi-Tone Yellow contact lenses, those are my SECOND FAVORITE lenses. They are so pretty and while they look alittle pixelated up close, they look so beautiful in the natural sunlight. They are more of a muted green (not so bold and bright like the Solotica Natural Colors 'Mel'), but look just as beautiful especially in the natural sunlight. In room lighting, they look just fine. I love the Adore contact lenses Bi Tone collection since it is a more natural collection and I love how natural they look as opposed to their other collections.

So I absolutely cannot figure out nodes. I have no clue what I am doing. I can't figure out how to do the add method. So far all I have is:
public class List{ Node head = null; //the start of the linked list private public void add(Object next, int index){ if(head == null){ //adding to an empty list (changes head) head = new Node(next, head); //what about index? }else if( ){ //adding to a single element list (changes head) }else if(){ //adding to a populated list (n>=2) Node temp = head; while(temp.next != null){ temp = temp.next; } temp.next = new Node(next, index) //not correct..... } } }

Kit Includes:
I honestly ordered this simply for the holster and belt and figured ehhh here's some lotion and oil with it that I'll probably just toss, but I love this oil! I was kind of shocked considering I'd never even heard of the brand name before...good marketing :) I will be purchasing a large bottle of this oil after getting one with my holsters. You have a new customer, FX!
Quality for the price was very good and so far is holding up really well. Yes, I would buy this again and I also liked the massage oil as well.
The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I got it out of the box and it slipped out of my hand and the pump borke. I never even had the chance to use it. But as far as everything else goes, I like the Dbl holster kit & lotion.
great product helped me from saving a lot of spills

Topic Page: Johnson, Sir William (1715 - 1774)
1715–74, British colonial leader in America, b. Co. Meath, Ireland. He settled (1738) in the Mohawk valley, became a merchant, and gained great power among the Mohawk and other Iroquois. He acquired large landed properties, founded (1762) Johnstown, N.Y., and lived in baronial splendor at Johnson Hall. Because of his influence with the indigenous population (he was made a Mohawk sachem in the 1740s), he was a key figure in the French and Indian Wars, first becoming prominent in King George's War. At the Albany Congress (1754) he helped formulate British policy toward native peoples, and he was made (1755) superintendent of Iroquois affairs. In the French and Indian War, although his expedition against Crown Point did not capture that fort, he soundly defeated (1755) the French under Baron Dieskau at Lake George and built Fort William Henry. Johnson was rewarded with a baronetcy.
In 1759 he captured Fort Niagara, and in 1760 he served with Gen. Jeffery Amherst in the capture of Montreal. He had been appointed general superintendent of Indian affairs north of the Ohio in 1756, and after the Peace of Paris (1763) his office was of great significance in the vast new areas gained from France. His chief lieutenants were George Croghan; Johnson's son-in-law, Guy Johnson; his son, Sir John Johnson; and Daniel Claus. Although Pontiac's Rebellion and British economy measures prevented him from establishing the centralized control over natives and fur traders that he desired, he did much to further British rule in the formerly French territories. He presided at the council of Fort Stanwix (1768). His papers have been edited by the New York State Division of Archives (13 vol., 1921–62).

At the time of the taking of the Domesday Book survey in 1086 A.D. the village of Clavering held a Mill, 5 beehives, a foal, 23 goats, and a sail-less windmill. The castle, of which the moats still survive, was built before the Conquest by Robert FitzWinarc. The village was held by the Swein (Earl) of Essex.
Another reference has a slightly different origin of the family: "Robert Fitz-Roger, Baron of Warkworth, the ancestor of this great Norman family, was father of John, who assumed the name 'Clavering,' from a lordship in Essex, as it is said, by the appointment of King Edward I. From Sir Alan, younger brother of John, the present family is descended." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

UsedMicro or usedmicro or usedmicro.com
We are a brand new e-commerce site selling quality refurbished PCs and Notebooks to the retail market. We have a big company backing, but want this to be a totally separate brand.
We're in need of a super-cool, professional-looking, simple, sleek logo design, evoking feelings of economical/thrifty, reliability, quality, and fun.
Here's some possible angles we want to try and establish, through logo design:
* usedmicro is run by professor micro, who handpicks and refurbishes machines; takes great pride in offering quality items and a quality price... only one thing sold at a time -- professor can only hand so much on his own....
or we're completely open to other ideas/branding.

We have distinctive mortgage industry expertise. We bring to bear regulatory experience, as well as capital markets and restructuring expertise. We have a long history of working with financial institutions, as well as with non-bank participants, in the mortgage industry. These include non-bank mortgage originators, servicers, providers of private mortgage insurance, and mortgage REITs. We also regularly counsel other specialty finance companies, including auto, credit card, equipment financing, and receivables financing companies.
We are one of the few firms in the United States with dedicated, wide-ranging expertise in regulatory, transactional, restructuring and capital raising components of retail and wholesale financial services. With lawyers who have worked in all areas of the financial services industry, including as attorneys with the Federal Reserve System, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission and other regulatory agencies, we are able to provide highly informed and practical counsel to banks and other financial market participants. Our expertise and experience in financial services is augmented by outstanding capability in capital markets, financial product structuring, financial services litigation and enforcement, mergers and acquisitions, recapitalizations and restructuring, tax, and securitization. We offer mortgage and specialty finance clients a critical combination of regulatory expertise and a deep understanding of the capital markets.
We regularly represent issuers, underwriters and placement agents in all aspects of capital markets transactions, including advising on public (IPO and follow-on) and private offerings, including confidentially marketed public offerings, at-the-market offerings, and shelf offerings. We also are one of the preeminent firms advising on debt issuances and covered bond offerings. In the REIT area, we are known for our work with mortgage REITs. With our tax colleagues, we advise on formation transactions, such as upREIT structures, and assist our REIT clients to comply with REIT tax requirements. We advise clients on a full range of disclosure and regulatory matters relating to the federal securities laws. Our securitization practice is well regarded and distinguished by the breadth of our experience.
Regulatory reform has changed the mortgage market. Regulations issued pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act impose considerable additional restrictions and requirements on mortgage loan originators, mortgage servicers and securitizers. The Basel III capital rules change the treatment of mortgage and mortgage related assets for banks. Bank and non-bank participants in the loan origination, servicing and securitization businesses have become increasingly consolidated in the years since the financial crisis, with many of these activities now concentrated in the largest bank and non-bank participants. During this period of change, we have been working with bank clients advising on dispositions of mortgage servicing businesses and mortgage servicing assets, as well as with non-bank servicers, hedge funds and private equity investors interested in these opportunities. We also have assisted mortgage originators in restructuring their businesses and operations, and counseled on bankruptcy proceedings. For example, we represented Residential Capital, or ResCap, once the fifth-largest servicer of residential mortgage loans in the United States, in its Chapter 11 reorganization. This involved negotiations to settle claims arising out of the legacy securitization portfolio ResCap amassed in the two decades preceding the financial crisis as one of the nation's most prolific securitizers of mortgages. At this time, our attorneys are at the center of regulatory and legislative initiatives to reform the mortgage market through wind-down of government-sponsored enterprises, to be replaced with new origination and securitization paradigms.
As perhaps never before, traditional lenders and nonbank mortgage entities seek out market-savvy legal counsel to help them navigate the uncertain regulatory landscape. We have assisted a number of clients in responding to the industry-wide governmental and regulatory enforcement actions that have been brought in the mortgage servicing and foreclosure area in the wake of the so-called "robo-signing" episode. This had included work with several major servicers in responding to regulatory actions directing large-scale file reviews of past foreclosures to identify borrowers who may be entitled to relief. In addition, the consumer protection in retail financial services landscape has seen unprecedented reform in recent years, with the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"). The CFPB has the authority to adopt and enforce substantive regulations that apply to mortgage origination, mortgage servicing and similar mortgage-related activities. Morrison & Foerster's stellar pedigree in the consumer financial services sector means that we are squarely front-and-center in this time of unparalleled change.
Unsolicited e-mails and information sent to Morrison & Foerster will not be considered confidential, may be disclosed to others pursuant to our Privacy Policy, may not receive a response, and do not create an attorney-client relationship with Morrison & Foerster.

ChinaHush: Leftover women in Hong Kong to look for Mr. Right in mainland China
Leftover women are not only single, but are usually "three-high" too highly-educated, highly-paid and highly independent. Thus they usually have a relatively high standard for their material life. In Hong Kong, there's the same phenomenon. Men in Hong Kong complain about Hong Kong women being too materialistic and first thing these women ask are their education background, job and salary. It's like these women are doing target-based sales.

The present prospective, randomized study, compares the spinal fusion obtained after instrumentation and the use of a biologic product (patient's mesenchymal cells obtained from his/her own bone marrow which will be fixed in human bone tissue form a donor), with the current procedure that consists in instrumented spinal fusion and the use of each patient's bone obtained from his/her iliac crest.
The working hypothesis proposes that the tissue engineering is a valid and useful technique to achieve bone regeneration, avoiding the need for obtaining patient's iliac crest and its associated morbidity.
|Condition or disease
|Lumbar Spondylolisthesis Involving L4-L5, and/or Degenerative Discopathy Involving L4-L5
|Biological: XCEL-MT-OSTEO-ALPHA Procedure: Standard treatment
|Phase 1 Phase 2
Prospective, open-label, randomized, parallel, single-dose phase I-II clinical trial in which 62 patients affected with L4-L5 degenerative spondylolisthesis grade I-II according to Meyerding and/or with L4-L5 degenerative discopathy needing spinal fusion will enter the trial with the primary objective of assessing the feasibility and safety of "ex-vivo" expanded autologous mesenchymal stem cells fixed in allogenic bone tissue in spinal fusion. Secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy of the implantation by imaging (computerized helicoidal tomography and X-ray) and clinical questionnaires (pain by visual analogue scale, quality of life by SF-36 and Oswestry Disability Index).
Patients will be randomized to one of the two treatment arms (instrumented spinal fusion and the tissue engineering product composed by "ex-vivo" expanded autologous mesenchymal stem cells fixed in allogenic bone tissue in spinal fusion or the standard treatment of instrumented spinal fusion and patient's bone iliac crest). Thereafter, patients will be followed for 12 months.
Imaging assessment will be done by an independent blinded radiologist.

Friend offered to purchase a Samsung Galaxy Y. I wasn't impressed with the reviews about it, so i opted for the Blackberry 9860. I was trying to get as close to the current one as possible. Of course, I understand nothing about the blackberry. I always have to wind up giving my friends back the phone so they can just do what I want done on it, or at least show me where to go. That said, you get that I am a complete newbie. Here's the thing, I had the phone purchased, via friend with a card, and it is supposed to get to me by this coming Wednesday. I happened to just be browsing a while ago, and met upon something about OS 10, as opposed to OS 7, which I am expecting to be on the phone when it arrives. I know what is the job of the OS, but it would want to seem as if I wasted time, effort, and resources into acquiring a brand new phone with a low OS (from other posts in a forum that I read). I imagine the phone will work fine, but what I wanna know is whether or not the OS can be updated. That is my first question. Can the OS be upgraded any higher, and still have the operations functioning tolerably?
My second question concerns the ability to use Skype on it. I am not necessarily a person who talks alot via those platforms. I would just rather text, or call the traditional way. However, I do find myself requiring it from time to time. I read where it apparently doesn't exist for blackberry, outside of Verizon. I do not live in the States, so that would be of no benefit to me. Can someone please help set these records straight? Please, and thank you.

Long Term Disability (LTD)
Long Term Disability (LTD)
Long Term Disability (LTD) is a mandatory benefit for career employees. This benefit protects an individual's income in the event of an illness or injury that prevents one from working. The LTD plan pays 66 2/3% of your basic monthly earnings, up to a maximum monthly benefit of $5,500. For example, an employee who earns $1,500 a month would be eligible for an LTD benefit of $1,000 a month, calculated as: 66 2/3% x $1,500 salary. The Commission pays 80% of the premium and the employees pay 20%.
To apply for LTD you must submit a claim for disability benefits by either calling the LTD carrier (CIGNA) or submitting a paper application. CIGNA LTD will determine whether you are eligible for benefits. This process takes anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. To ensure that you continue to receive income, you should file your application after being disabled for 60 days. If you have been disabled or expect to be disabled for more than 120 days, you must apply for LTD. If you do not apply before 60 days have lapsed, you may not be eligible for other income programs such as the Sick Leave Bank or the Commission's Disability Pay program for work related injuries or illnesses.
Once you have been approved for LTD, you will no longer be able to use your accrued leave or the Sick Leave Bank. The Health and Benefits office will coordinated the start of your LTD payments with your department.

Grad Profiles highlight the personal and professional stories of Founder Institute Graduates from across the globe.
This profile on DigitalGroundUp, a graduate of the Chicago Founder Institute, was written by Emma Tzeng. Founded in 2012 by Reva Minkoff, DigitalGroundUp bridges the disconnect between the small business world and digital marketing.
The rapidly evolving digital marketing landscape can be difficult to scale, particularly without direct, firsthand work experience. Buzzwords like "programmatic marketing," "omnichannel," and "big data" can sound like a foreign language altogether to non-marketer types, and trends come and go so quickly that trying to keep up can feel like running a never-ending marathon.
DigitalGroundUp strives to make marketing a little more accessible to non-marketers by providing an interactive platform to teach the subject through interactive software.
Founded in 2012 by Reva Minkoff, DigitalGroundUp was birthed out of a desire to bridge the disconnect between the small business world and digital marketing.
"Small businesses need to have an online presence to compete in today's economy," Minkoff writes in a blog post. "But they have no idea how to do this, and no one is really trying to teach them."
Minkoff elaborates further, arguing that digital marketing agencies, consultants, and specialists place a premium on their services that SMBs simply can't afford. With the odds stacked against them, many SMBs fall behind on their digital marketing strategies because they simply don't have the manpower or financial resources to invest in online user acquisition and retention.
DigitalGroundUp's platform differs from the traditional classroom-and-textbook approach to learning. Instead of asking students to passively watch a video or read a manual, DigitalGroundUp adopts an interactive approach to learning, requiring students to demonstrate a thorough understanding of a concept before proceeding to the next lesson.
Furthermore, the lessons can be completed across any timeline in any location--all the user needs are a laptop and Internet connection.
To start learning on the DigitalGroundUp platform, students simply pay a one-time fee. Courses never expire, so users have the flexibility to learn at their own pace.
This sort of business model caters well to SMB owners and employees who want to pick up a new discipline while still working a day job. DigitalGroundUp lets students learn anywhere on their own timelines, while actively ensuring that the material is being digested and understood.
As DigitalGroundUp grows in adoption, we hope to see more and more SMBs becoming increasingly educated and aware of the digital marketing landscape and best practices. Then, perhaps those tricky marketing buzzwords won't seem so intimidating or foreign after all.

Plus, it greatly increases the chance of Brooks Orpik or Rob Scuderi deflecting the puck into their own net. Perhaps those two guys should take turns standing in front of the net during OUR powerplays....
At this point.. Orpik standing infront of the net on the PP wouldn't be too bad

A fter a slow start, winter is finally finding its way to the Front Range.
Is it because of the midweek dusting? "White Christmas" playing in the background of stores all over town? The relaxed, holiday-style pace of everything post-finals? Or maybe the bell-ringers outside grocery stores?
No matter the cause of the winter-wonderland feeling in the air, you should take advantage of it to make a sentimental impression with your love interest. If you're lucky enough to steal a few days — or even hours — of pre-holiday time with your woman, get her cheeks glowing with a festive night on the town.
What's that? You haven't bought a gift for her yet? Take her on one of these date-nights-to-remember and you can wrap yourself in a bow and wax poetic about "experiential giving." After all, spending time together is a better way to bond than buying her some silly trinket… right? Right. Sound convincing, and tell her that sharing an experience is priceless.
For a double-whammy of sensitivity-meets-holiday spirit, that comes complete with a take-home trinket, show your artistic side with an evening of painting at PoshSplat (1468 Pearl St.; poshsplat.com). This Saturday's ($35; 6:30-9 p.m.) model masterpiece is an aspen scene called "Fresh Snow," and the two and a half-hour painting session includes all the materials and supplies you need to recreate it, plus basic instruction about brushes, techniques and paint mixing from a hands-on instructor. You can recreate the peaceful snow scene — or just swirl colors on a blank canvas while you partake in the studio's $12 bottles of wine or $3 beers. Either way, your woman will appreciate the time you spend together, and having a last-minute gift to give her grandma (the painting).
If you're up for something a little more physical — and a chilly outing isn't a total turnoff for your lady friend — hit up one of the two ice rinks in town. The downtown Ice Rink at One Boulder Plaza (1801 13th St.; bouldericerink.com) puts you close to Pearl Street's action and has open skating from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. for the entire weekend ($5 for unlimited one-day skating, $3 for skate rentals), so you could make your itinerary work with whatever her pre-holiday schedule allows.
Winterskate, the rink at the 29th Street Mall (1710 29th St.; twentyninthstreet.com) also has long weekend hours, and provides easy access to last-minute gift-buying ops and the movie theater. New flicks, Monsters Inc. and The Hobbit, are a great way to warm up after a few spins on the ice. Bonus: If you're there on Saturday, you can get a photo with Santa at the Macy's nearby, and/or snap some pics with a posse of reindeer parked in the plaza from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Just want to be entertained? If you can steal your date away on Sunday evening, the Gold Hill Inn is a super-fun setting for a winter show, courtesy of a triple feature of local singer-songwriters including moody lyricist Gregory Alan Isakov, edgy Reed Foehl who's due to release a new album next spring, and soulful Stewart Lewis. The guitar-strumming begins at 7 p.m., and the show is certain to be one of the best winter offerings from one of the coziest, coolest venues in the county ($25, additional charge for buffet dinner; 303-443-6461).

A silly question, but I don't see the answer. This question is from Rudin's Functional Analysis, Chapter 10, Exercise 1a).
It's obvious that $y$ has a left inverse as $((xy)^{-1}x)y=e$, where $e$ is the unit of the algebra. However, starting with $y((xy)^{-1}x)$, I cannot proceed further. Does this suggest that I need to 'venture beyond' the multiplicative group structure, maybe introduce ideas from the ring structure on the Banach Algebra? ( I'm thinking of something analogous to the proof where $e-xy$ is invertible if and only if $e-yx$ is invertible. There, if $z$ is the inverse of $e-xy$, then, $e+yzx$ is the inverse of $e-yx$.)

OCALA | The president of a north Florida tea party group has been killed in a two-vehicle car crash in Marion County.
The Florida Highway Patrol told the Ocala Star-Banner that 70-year-old Stephen Hunter of Sparr died in the Friday night crash. Hunter headed the Ocala Tea Party or Tea Party Solutions for the last several years.
Friends say Hunter was a Vietnam veteran who later worked at defense contractor Lockheed Martin.
Troopers say Hunter was attempting to make a left turn on U.S. 441 and apparently did not see an oncoming pickup truck, which struck Hunter's car on the driver's side.
Hunter was pronounced dead at the scene. The two occupants of the truck were uninjured.
Neither Kirkland nor Hodges were injured. They were wearing their seat belts, troopers said.

I don't know what the following in red means. And what does "one" refer to?
You constantly study what works in whatever you read, see, hear, and do... You file the example on the shelves of your brain. You let your brain make new combinations of elements that your consider acting on but don't seem strong enough to inspire you to do them. And then one does, and you're on your way.
Thank you.
One "combination of elements" that moves you to action.

I'm trying to help a buddy out -- his site, on a fresh WordPress install, is behaving oddly. With default permalinks set, everything works, but with pretty permalinks set up, all of the pages on the navigation bar load as the home page.
If you hover over them, the links are still in the original
?page_id=x form....
Any ideas why this is happening?
Hosting is with Go Daddy and they are singularly unhelpful.
Many thanks.

When properly executed, the political fix is as mysterious as the movements of a conjuror's fingers. The marionettes may prance in full view upon the boards, but the hands that move their limbs and mouths are hidden in the shadows of a black velvet curtain. Before the media can glom onto the goings-on, the illusionist vanishes into the governmental gloom, then tiptoes out the stage door unheard and unseen.
Sheriff John Rutherford, a master of the bureaucratic arts, was uncharacteristically clumsy in his recent voiding of traffic tickets and a Notice to Appear issued to WJXT's Ashley Mitchem. First, the background: Mitchem is an on-air reporter for Channel 4. A beautiful, cheerful scofflaw, she regularly roared along First Coast thoroughfares at speeds prohibited to the lumpen law-abiding. Twice-warned, she was, on strike three, issued a traffic ticket and an NTA — a criminal summons — for the improper display of a Fraternal Order of Police decal, which is a misdemeanor most maleficent in our Sunshiny State.
The lady howled; the sheriff fixed. Usually, this would be a ho-hum exchange of favors among the media and political elite. This time, however, some emails leaked; the Times-Union clamped onto the story like a starving pitbull, and the sheriff, astoundingly, admitted to the fiddle in print.
This surprises. A more deft politician would have whispered a word to the state attorney and presiding judge and the entire matter would've been null-prossed into oblivion with nary a trace leading back to Police Memorial Building.
The moral drawn from this roadside episode was that a bullyboy cop had mistreated the lady, and the issuance of a criminal citation for a bumper decal was an outrage that cried to heaven itself for justice! No ordinary person, etc.
This conclusion is incorrect. The fraternal decal statute is one of those absurdities the Legislature routinely writes into law to pacify clamorous lobbies with no expectation that it will actually be used to stuff Florida's overflowing jails and prisons.
Jacksonville, however, has the highest arrest rate and harshest criminal sentences in the United States. When ordinary people are stopped here for trivial infractions, they are not, as was Mitchem, issued an NTA. They are often arrested, jailed and prosecuted on the first, not the third, offense.
They don't go home angry, like the heroine of this tale; they don't go home at all. They arrive in chains at 500 E. Liberty, there to drop trou, receive an ooey-gooey finger into cavities fore and aft, then don orange jumpsuit, white socks and flip-flops. If they arrive early enough, they'll dine on mystery meat in gravy, one veg and cornbread baked — weevils in, for extra vitamins.
Defense attorney Stephen Mosca told me he's representing one client arrested for walking on streets where there are sidewalks and another for riding a bicycle at night without a headlight. Attorney Dale Carson has defended clients jugged for failing to sign traffic tickets. He has a current client who was busted for picking up a bullet on a dirt road (three years mandatory minimum with a prior felony). Bail bondsmen I called said that defendants who are jailed for suspended licenses and unpaid tickets are their "bread and butter." I heard about one schlub who, while being processed for release after a short jolt for misdemeanor dope (a single doobie), was re-arrested when the roach tumbled out of his wallet!
Bullshit busts are not rare in this town. So, Miss Ashley, as your fury cools to a simmer, take a moment to pity the prisoners locked behind steel doors for riding a bike with no light. Most of them are black; most of them are poor. In Police Zone 1, where I live, it's a 20-mile, round-trip bike ride to Walmart — over a bridge and down the Philips Highway hell-zone — to get that light. It's not easy to pedal that far when you're broke, you're old and your knees are bad.
These inmates would weep for joy if cops gave them a ticket and an NTA. Instead, they get a ride Downtown and a stretch of indeterminate length, inside the belly of the beast,
Called Crime City.
