SBA Expands the Definition of "Small" Business with Regard to ...

By: Edward T. DeLisle & Maria L. Panichelli
?
Yesterday, the U.S. Small Business Administration (?SBA?) proposed certain size standard changes, which could expand the number of contractors eligible for ?small? business status in relation to construction contracts under NAICS Code 23.

Specifically, the SBA issued a proposed rule that would increase the size standard associated with NAICS Code 237210 (which relates to contracts dealing with Land Subdivision) from seven million dollars in average annual receipts over three years to twenty-five million dollars. Similarly, the SBA proposed an increase in the size standard for NAICS Code 237990, relating to contracts involving Dredging and Surface Cleanup Activities, from twenty million dollars to thirty million dollars. The SBA explained that, if adopted, these size standard increases will expand the small business share of total receipts in all industries within NAICS Sector 23, dealing with the construction industry, from about 49.7 percent to 50 percent. The SBA further estimated that these changes would result in an additional 400 contractors being deemed eligible for ?small? business set aside contacts under NAIC Codes 237210 and 237990. The SBA stated that these changes would benefit three primary groups: (1) Businesses that are above the current size standards, who may gain small business status under the proposed rule, enabling them to participate in federal small business assistance programs; (2) Growing small businesses that are close to exceeding the current size standards, who will be able to retain their small business status under the proposed higher size standards, thereby enabling them to continue their participation in the programs; and (3) Federal agencies will have a larger pool of small businesses from which to draw for their small business procurement programs. Under the proposed rule, the remaining NAICS codes relating to the construction industry would retain their current size standards. The SBA is accepting comments on the proposed rule through September 17, 2012. Edward T. DeLisle is a Partner in the firm and a member of the Federal Contracting Practice Group. Maria L. Panichelli is an Associate in the firm?s Federal Practice Group.

NIH Official Calls For Extension Of Moratorium On Bird Flu Experiments

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci said a voluntary halt to bird flu research should stay in effect.

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci said a voluntary halt to bird flu research should stay in effect.

A voluntary moratorium on certain experiments involving forms of bird flu altered in laboratories should continue until there can be more public discussion of safety concerns, a prominent government official told flu researchers at a meeting in New York City Tuesday.

"I strongly recommend that you continue the voluntary moratorium until we can have this open and transparent process," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which funded the research.

U.S. government agencies such as NIAID, part of the National Institutes of Health, couldn't support lifting the moratorium now for federally funded science, he said, adding that plans for a broader public consultation are in the works.

Fauci's remarks were made at a meeting that was originally closed to the press. Officials reversed that decision Sunday, the night before it started and allowed reporters to attend.

?

Researchers put certain experiments with H5N1 bird flu on hold back in January, because of concerns that the viruses they had created could start a pandemic in people if the germs ever got out of the lab.

The moratorium was supposed to last 60 days, but has been in effect for more than six months. Some researchers are eager to restart, as they say the studies are vital for helping to prepare for a pandemic that might occur naturally.

Take Ron Fouchier of Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands. His lab did one of the controversial experiments with funds from the NIAID. "It is my opinion that we should lift the moratorium," Fouchier said.

Fouchier points out that the two scientific manuscripts describing the experiments have been openly published, there has been time to discuss the work, and countries have had time to review the biosafety requirements. He says those were the original reasons for instituting the moratorium and now all of those conditions have been met.

He noted that some scientists who signed the voluntary moratorium don't rely on U.S. government funds. They're also working in countries that, unlike the U.S., haven't decided to take any new regulatory actions. "There is no reason to stop them from doing this work," Fouchier said.

But Fauci told flu researchers that they need to engage with the global public and address the concerns that have been raised. "You will unquestionably lose the battle for public opinion on this one if you ignore these concerns. You can't ignore them," Fauci told the audience. "The flu scientific community can no longer be the only players in the discussion of whether the experiments should be done."

Fauci outlined interagency discussions that have been going on within the U.S. government. He said there's a plan to call a public workshop that would include international participation to discuss these issues.

A similar meeting is being planned by the World Health Organization, but it won't happen until next year.

Fauci said WHO leadership in this effort would be welcome, but he's not counting on it. "I don't think that that's going to happen because they have not come forth and said that's the responsibility that they want to take," he said. "But we do have to have WHO representation in any process that I'm talking about now. And so we can make them part of this international dialogue."

Virologist Robert Webster, a prominent flu scientist at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, said that he too supports a continuation of the moratorium. "At my dinner table, my grandchildren are concerned," he said. "So I have to convince them that it is safe to continue these important works."

One of the main concerns surrounding the research is the threat of accidental release, if the mutant bird flu experiments get repeated in labs around the world that do not have the same security and safety precautions that are mandated by the U.S. government.

"This issue has been raised but there has been no discussion of how to deal with it," said Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, whose lab did one of the controversial experiments.

Scranton, Penn. to pay back workers' wages, plus interest

(Reuters) - After slashing public employees' pay to minimum wage on July 6, the mayor of cash-poor Scranton, Pennsylvania, has struck a deal to pay them back what they are owed with interest.

Mayor Christopher Doherty agreed that the city would pay approximately $750,000 in compensation owed to firefighters, police officers and public works employees, plus at least $5,100 in interest, said Tom Jennings, a lawyer for the employees' unions.

In exchange, the unions said they would drop their bid to have the mayor held in contempt of court, according to the agreement, reached Saturday and presented to a judge on Monday.

Scranton, the setting for "The Office" television show, is one of several cities in Pennsylvania and across the United States that are struggling to make ends meet, because of lowered revenue collections and increased spending.

Doherty made headlines around the world after cutting employees' pay to the state's $7.25 minimum wage for the July 6 payroll period.

A local judge had ordered Doherty not to make the cut, but he did so anyway, prompting unions to push the court to have Doherty held in contempt.

SCRANTON RESUMED FULL PAYROLL

Doherty did not immediately reply to a request for comment about the settlement. Shortly after he cut the employees' pay, Doherty said he had no other choice because the city didn't have enough money to make full payroll of about $1.1 million for its nearly 400 employees.

After paying them about $315,000 altogether at the minimum wage, the city had just $5,000 left in its coffers, he has said.

For the following payroll on July 20, the city was again able to pay the full amount due to employees under collective bargaining agreements.

The settlement calls for Scranton to repay the compensation by August 16, plus a 6 percent interest payment that amounts to at least $5,100 for the missed pay periods.

Scranton, nicknamed the "Electric City" for having one of the nation's first electric streetcar systems, will get $2.25 million in state aid if it can enact a plan by August 15.

If it doesn't meet that goal, Scranton can extend reimbursement of the back-pay until August 31 but must pay nearly $7,000 in interest instead, the agreement said.

Scranton officials have said they can't guarantee that they won't again slash pay if the city runs low on cash.

"Hopefully gives us some stability here and some assurances that this isn't going to happen again," said John Judge, president of Scranton's firefighters' union. "I'm still cautious."

The court injunction that bars the mayor from slashing wages is still in effect, he said.

Testing and Education Reference Center ? CLPTeensburgh ...

Posted on by Denise

Wait, what?? Why am I posting about standardized tests in July?

I don?t want to be lame and lecture anyone on their vacation, but for some reason, it seems to be in the air lately.? I?ve noticed a ton of folks looking for study guides in the Job and Career Education Center.? Just yesterday I saw about ten people walk out with one, and for at least one test, every single book in the building is currently checked out.

If this ever happens to you and you can?t wait for a request to come in, don?t panic!? Odds are, we can still get you access to an online version of the book, along with practice tests and other study aids.? Go to http://www.carnegielibrary.org/research/jobsedu/databases.html and scroll down to ?Testing and Education Reference Center.?? Then, if you?re in a library, click ?Library Access,? otherwise click ?Remote Access? and enter your library card number.? (While TERC might look like any other website, it?s a private database that the library subscribes to so our cardholders can have access to it.? So you have to go through all these steps to prove you?re allowed in.)

You?ll have to create an account, which TERC mostly uses to keep track of practice test scores and things like that.??This should be a quick and painless process.? Once you?re in, you can either browse for your test by hovering over the category buttons (high school tools, college prep tools, etc), or you can just enter the name of your test into the search box in the upper right.

Okay, that?s probably more than you really wanted to know about standardized tests at this exact moment.? But just in case you?re still listening and you have any questions, you can visit or call the JCEC in Oakland, or your local branch.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled summer?

On a day like today: Henry Ford gets his due

The wealthy industrialist, born in Michigan and nearly synonymous with the automobile industry in the United States, was proud to receive a signal award from one of his greatest admirers. At 75 years of age, Henry Ford - the man who built affordable automobiles for America and the world - had transformed his country and industrial production in ways that would long outlive him.

But it was not only automobiles that possessed Henry Ford's soul. Ford also wished to transform society in ways that he felt would suit his particular vision for America. For example, he built a small town in Michigan's Northern Peninsula in hopes of creating a modern Arcadia where rugged woodsmen could support themselves with a little farming and trade. In Washtenaw County, near Ann Arbor MI, he built a small tobacco production facility in hopes of revolutionizing rural life.

But there was yet another geni that occupied Ford's thoughts. An inveterate anti-Semite, Ford was responsible for publishing that fraudulent czarist diatribe known as "The Protocols of Zion," a work that would form the supposed factual basis of hatred towards Jews worldwide. "The Protocols" would be cited by Nazis and other bigots to justify their persecution of Jews from the beginning of the 20th century and well into the dark period of European history as death camps and extermination emerged like deathly toadstools?from the soil both Henry Ford and Adolf Hitler tilled. Henry Ford gave flight to the nascent anti-Semitism in Europe and America that had infected the ground for centuries, as others concentrated on the racist and pseudo-scientific theory of eugenics that held that Jews and supposedly "unfit" races should not even exist.

Ford also published "The International Jew," and then faced boycotts of his products. While he was to express contrition for publishing these and other anti-Semitic rants, both "The Protocols of Zion" and "The International Jew" would be later reprinted.

So it was that on June 30, 1938, as Ford celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday that Germany Vice Consult Fritz Hailer, resident in Detroit, presented the American industrialist titan the highest award Germany's National Socialist regime could offer. That day, Vice Consult Hailer pinned the Grand Cross of the German Eagle on the proud chest of Henry Ford at the Dearborn headquarters of the eponymous automobile firm. The diplomat explained the Der Fuehrer Adolf Hitler wanted to express appreciation for how Ford made automobiles available to the masses. Hitler may have also wished to show appreciation for the Ford Motor Company's help in producing vehicles for the Wehrmacht, which were used to such great effect in Poland in 1939. ?

Ford was Adolf Hitler's idol. And it was Ford who was the only American named in Der Fuehrer's infamous book, "Mein Kampf." It was Ford's portrait that hung in Hitler's personal office.

The Grand Cross of the German Eagle, presented to Henry Ford, remain in the collection of the magnate's personal goods. It is not known, however, whether it is on display.

Enhance Your Communication Skills With no 2X4 | 2leep.in - Free ...

Charley is busy writing copy on her new website revenue site. James rushes to her, launching immediately in to a monologue about anything. Shaken from her attention to her task, Charley is suddenly cast adrift, trying to determine the context of Fred?s communication. She?s missed the very first phrase or two, has lost the train of her imaginative thought, and is now attempting to orient herself to Fred.Fred, who has been considering his topic for awhile, knows why he is interrupting Charley. Unfortunately, he does not understand he is acting as though what he has to express is more important than what she is doing. Since he has been considering it, he seems to act as though Charley has been following his train of thought as well and doesn?t need an introduction to it on her. Because of this, he doesn?t provide Charley the large picture so she may react appropriately.Charley requires Fred to repeat what he has already said. She tries to get clarification. James stops but looks agitated and irritated that she ?obviously hasn?t been listening.?What should Charley have done?1. Make Fred comprehend ahead of time, when possible, that she?s to not be interrupted until it?s a crisis requiring her immediate attention.2. Tell Fred that she really wants to hear what he?s to express but not while she?s making copy.3. Remind him nonverbally (with a ?stop? )if he forgets.4. Hold impatience out of her speech or actions if he doesn?t heed hand signals or soft shushing, and say,?Later, please.?5. Thank him afterward for acceding to her desires, reinforcing his good behavior.6. Inquire in regards to what he wished to share.7. Give Fred her full attention when she listens.But listening and communication aren?t an one-way street. John needs to be aware of and sensitive to what hearing and communication demand. So what should Fred have inked instead?1. Determine if Charley were open to pay attention to him before launching into what he?d to say.2. Be sensitive to her being unwilling to interrupt what she was doing at that moment.3. Decide if it is essential enough to affect her just work at that moment.4. Make certain he?s her attention before talking and not merely assume he has.5. Call her by name and ask if they can tell her something about XYZ.6. Tell her what he desires to discuss and why he thinks it?s crucial before launching into his monologue.7. Await eye contact with her before speaking about his subject.8. Check her knowledge by asking for feedback, opinions, or recommendations about it.Listening and communication for both Fred and Charley (the sender and recipient of any communication) require their being Aware, Attentive, Considerate, Empathic, Cooperative, Respectful, and Responsive.

Bernanke, Geithner response to Libor scandal rings hollow

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ben Bernanke heads the most powerful central bank in the world. Yet the Federal Reserve chairman says he was largely powerless to stop what some are calling the biggest financial fraud in history: the systematic manipulation of a key global interest rate.

It's a line of argument that has fallen flat with some lawmakers and investors, who want to know why Bernanke and other key U.S. regulators did not do more to end a potentially criminal rigging of interest rates affecting trillions of dollars in financial contracts.

Bernanke said last week he had been largely unable to directly address problems with Libor, or the London interbank offered rate, which he said he learned of in 2008.

"We are and need to continue advocating for reforms to the Libor process. It is constructed by a private organization in the UK, and so our direct ability to influence that is limited," Bernanke said in congressional testimony.

Timothy Geithner, who oversaw Wall Street as president of the New York Fed for five years before he became Treasury Secretary in 2009, has delivered much the same message.

He told lawmakers this week that he informed regulators "early on" about the problems and made recommendations to the Bank of England on how to reform the system.

"Seriously? They did all that they could do? I mean, come on," said Alan De Rose, managing director of government and trading finance at Oppenheimer in New York.

"Answers like those, they strain credibility," said De Rose, formerly a trader at a U.S. primary dealer, the selected large banks that do business directly with the Fed.

Legislators are similarly skeptical, at a time when the Fed is already taking heat in Congress for its regulatory failings that contributed to the financial crisis.

Republican Congressman Scott Garrett took aim at Geithner at a hearing of the House of Representatives' Financial Services Committee on Wednesday.

"You have been before this committee countless numbers of times since 2008 and if this is the crime of the century, as so many people are reporting today, never once did you ever once come and mention it as being a problem, never once did you come here and say this is what you're going to do about it," he said.

The revelations about Libor have further dented public confidence in the financial industry, which has been battered by a string of crises that led to unpopular taxpayer bailouts in many advanced economies. It is also another blow to the standing of regulators who have been widely accused of being asleep at the switch in the run-up to the financial crisis of 2008-2009.

Geithner told lawmakers this week he contacted the appropriate regulatory authorities, including the Bank of England, quickly after being informed that there were suspicions about the veracity of rates being reported by banks.

"We, at least I, first learned about those concerns in the early parts of spring of 2008 and we acted very quickly at that stage," Geithner said. "We took a very careful look at these concerns, we thought those concerns were justified."

The Federal Reserve Board, the New York Fed and the Treasury all declined to comment for this article.

Policymakers had a lot on their plate in 2008 as the global financial system was at risk of melting down.

JAY-WALKING OR HIGHWAY ROBBERY?

As well as wondering why U.S. regulators failed to follow up with the British authorities after no immediate corrective steps were taken, lawmakers noted the Fed itself continued to use Libor as a benchmark in its emergency lending programs, including the controversial bailout of failed insurer AIG.

"It appears that the early response was to keep using it, which means it appears that you treated it as almost a curiosity or something akin to jay-walking instead of highway robbery," Republican Congressman Jeb Hensarling told Geithner this week.

Robert Shapiro, a former undersecretary of the U.S. Commerce Department who now runs Sonecon, an advisory firm in Washington, says the scandal is vast and will continue to grow.

"Barclays is not some lone, bad apple. This could well turn into the largest consumer fraud ever seen," Shapiro said.

Barclays last month admitted to giving false information as part of setting the interest rate in a record $453 million settlement with U.S. and UK authorities.

Dozens of big banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co, are under investigation. An internal probe at Deutsche Bank found two former traders may have been involved in colluding to manipulate global benchmark interest rates but suggested top managers were unaware of the fraud.

Things could get more embarrassing for U.S. regulators. The House Financial Services Committee has asked the New York Fed for all communications going back to August 2007 with the banks that helped set Libor.

The first trove of documents from the New York Fed showed Barclays had flagged concerns as early as 2007 and Geithner sent the email to Bank of England governor Mervyn King in June 2008 with the Libor recommendations.

Still, analysts do not see immediate repercussions for Bernanke and Geithner other than the risk of an additional loss of public confidence.

Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a liberal think tank in Washington, says the comments from Bernanke stretch credulity, particularly after the Fed fought hard to keep regulatory power over banks in post-financial crisis reforms.

"He is insulting his audience to say there was nothing they could do," Baker said. "That is complete nonsense. If he had called up King and said that he has to fix the Libor, and if he doesn't this all goes public, then King would have no choice."

"I think this is a case of the central bankers being a good old boys club and that would be considered rude behavior. Rather than break the rules of the club, Bernanke allowed this fraud to continue, violating his responsibilities as Fed chair."

The apparently mild nature of Geithner's warnings about Libor to the Bank of England allowed King to claim he was never informed of accusations of fraud at all, critics say.

Simon Johnson, a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, lambasted the Fed.

"The Federal Reserve is responsible for the 'safety and soundness' of the financial system in the United States," said Johnson, now a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

"Does allowing suspicions of fraud to continue unchecked at the heart of this system help to sustain the credibility and legitimacy of markets? Surely not."

Why Is Social Media Becoming Important for Customer Service ...

Why Is Social Media Becoming Important for Customer Service

Customer service is a critical element of any business. Even if you offer the best product on the market, if you fail to provide them with excellent customer service, you will find yourself facing dissatisfied customers.? On the other hand, however, when you offer high-quality customer service, people appreciate that and tend to stick with you.? Oftentimes, when people are presented with the best product, yet poor customer service or a little bit lower-quality product, but fantastic customer service, they will choose the latter.? That is because people want to feel valued and important when dealing with a company, knowing they will be served and treated as though they matter.

In the online world, customer service is just as important. Even if clients cannot meet face-to-face with a customer service representative, the way they are treated online and the type of assistance they receive can either make or break their loyalty to the company. If they are acknowledged even when they simply post a comment on the website or blog, they will feel appreciated and will continue to give you their business.

Social media networks have become indispensable when it comes to the success of online customer service. These social media platforms create a place for customers to say what they want to say about a product or company and offer a review of their experience.? The company can then respond by either expressing their gratitude for the positive review or addressing the concerns that the customer raised.

However, a critical factor in using social media for customer service is the response rate. Keep in mind that people expect a quick response from a customer service representative. They expect a response after a few hours and definitely within the day. If they do not get a response, the tendency is to complain online, which can immediately create a bad reputation for the company throughout that person?s networks.

You can further improve your online customer service by making yourself more easily accessible to your customers.? Having a Facebook account may no longer be enough because you may have clients that prefer using Twitter to posting a comment on Facebook. Making yourself available via a variety of social media avenues gives them more convenient access to you, which makes them feel valued and understood.

A social media agency helps online businesses implement strategic techniques to create a more successful customer service experience for their customers online. These social media gurus execute tactics that emphasize the importance of the customer and guarantee their loyalty to the company. Once you make a client feel important and well taken care of, they will always be loyal to you.? So, if you are interested in learning about ways you can increase the customer service you offer to your customers, it?s worth talking with a social media agency to learn how they can help you.

Interview with Anne Emond and Catherine de Lean - Writer/Director ...

Catherine de Lean and Anne Emond

I met Anne last spring in Cologne, Germany at the International Women's Film Festival where her film played.? We were able? to reconnect when she came to town to promote her provocative film, Nuit #1.

Women and Hollywood: Talk a bit about how you came up with the story.

Anne Emond: I started to write the movie when I was 27 years old.? At the beginning I didn't know it would be a film.? It was a diary.? I started it because my friends and I who were between 25 and 35 were still acting like children and I was wondering why.? I remember the first idea was 8 am and the sun was rising and we were leaving a? party and I was asking why.? I saw my friend walking drunk and stoned and I was like wow we are almost 30 hers old, why are we doing this all night?? Why don't we have jobs and babies and doing important things in life.? So I wanted to write a movie about that.

WaH: The film is about a man and a woman but I was wondering if you thought the film was more from the female perspective?

Catherine de Lean:? I do think it is more from the female perspective.? The female character is more central and more developed and? the sex scene is not from a male perspective.? Male sex would be more of a fantasy and this is more naturalistic so it feels like a feminine point of view.

AE- It's interesting because a lot of people ask me how I could write the male character.? The male character is really inspired by two or three friends who can recognize themselves.? It is really funny because some people say that my male character doesn't always act like a man.? Like when he wants her to have an orgasm or when he decides to follow her when she leaves in the middle of the night.?? People say men don't act like that.? I say I am the screenwriter and I can make the characters do what I want as an artist.? I? just think about Fellini or Cassavettes who wrote parts for women that are incredible? and not how women act in life would never be asked this kind of questio.? It's a movie, and it's a woman writing a movie.?

WaH: Talk about how you shot the film

AE: We shot in 20 nights.? It's a lot for this kind of simple movie with 2 actors in one place.? We had time.? It was so hard for the actors.? They couldn't play for 12 hours this kind of role.? After 5 hours you feel like sleeping or crying.? They were really tired.?

CDL: It was like groundhog day but groundhog night.? Every night it was like taking the elevator down to this place especially because I am so different from my character.? Generally speaking we shot in order so it was like we were going back to that night to that moment and we were continuing where we left off.? It was a nice experience.? I liked it and I appreciate that there was a lot of space for the actors.? We had a lot of space for acting and breathing.? The scenes are almost like a play, so for the actors it was a really pleasant experience having the space.? You are part of the editing because you put the rhythm in the scene with your acting.?

WaH: What made you decide to become a director?

AE: I grew up in a really small town and when I was 15 years old I saw Trainspotting and since that moment I wanted to make films.? I always wrote a lot.? I also wanted to leave home and you couldn't study film in my town.

WaH: We met at a women's film festival and your film has played in all kinds of festivals.? Has there been differing receptions to the film?

AE: Not really.? For me it is interesting because it is a film about a man and a woman and it is not for either gender.? Some women have hated it so it depends on the person.? The same thing regarding age.? At first, I was sure it was for 28 years olds, but now, not at all.? Everybody can understand it.? We were in Pusan, Taiwan and even though there were cultural differences they understood the loneliness and the despair and the looking for more in life.

WaH: You said that some people really hate your movie.? Why do you think that?

AE: I knew it since the beginning when I was writing the script.? I said to my producer some people are not going to be able to stand this.

WaH: Because of the sex?

AE: Some people are shocked by the sex and don't understand why it is there.? For me it is so natural.? If you want to be shocked go on the internet and see the porn on there.? I know it's a weird movie in a way --? two people talking and talking about life and death. They are not philosophers but they are trying to talk about important matters and some people can't stand it.? If you never ask yourself those kinds of questions like why are we living maybe you cannot stand it.? This morning in an interview someone said that if some people hate it may be because they recognize themselves too much.? It's dark.? If you don't want to face these dark feelings, it's probably not for you.

WaH: Did you have a hard the playing the intensity of the sex scenes?

CDL: The first scene was the hardest because even though we were not making love for real we had to break some intimacy boundaries.? And you are naked in front of everyone.? I did not like it.? I understood why I had to do it and I was really focusing on that.? If you start thinking about my neighbor watching this or what my mother is going to say then you cannot do it.? So I just had to focus.? For the rest I was really well prepared, I had learned all the text ahead of time so when we arrived I was ready and I just had to follow Anne's direction which was great because she really knows what she wants.?

I wanted to say something about the part about some people hating the film.? I think the form is really radical.? Anne made radical and aesthetic choices and she does it on purpose.? Some people will like that and others won't.? There is so much talking and the way we talk is really literal in monologues.? You never see monologues in the cinema and for me it is really radical.? When we fight outside it is like a modern ballet and that was an aesthetic choice and some people might not like it.? I like it that she said this is what I want and there is no accident in the movie and everything is on purpose.

WaH: Talk about what you think this movie is about.

AE: It is about young people looking for more than what life seems to offer them.? It's about people really worried about the world they are living in about the future, and it's about how powerless we can feel now.? My generation is right to be scared about the future.

CDL: For me it was more about one night.? How we have big expectations about sexual relationships and about the difference between what we expect from sex and what it really is and what it really could be.? The difference between those two things.?

WaH: What was the biggest challenge in making the film?

AE- Writing it.? It was hard to go so deep.? After that it was the casting.? After I found Catherine and Dimitri (Storoge) and after I found them I felt my job was almost done.? When I said action on the set is was each time for almost 10 minutes.? We were running out the film every time.? The pressure was on them.? I put the camera but it was all on them.

WaH: Do you have advice for other female filmmakers?

AE: For me I think a lot about being a female in this world and maybe I'm wrong and maybe life will prove me different but for now I say be a woman when you write but don't feel it when you fight to make your film.? It's no different.? It's competitive and hard for everyone.?

The film now playing in NYC.?

Air Conditioner vs. Heat Pump-Climate Is the Key

When it comes to heating and cooling equipment, numerous people are confused by the many options available. Whether you are having your unit repaired or need to replace it, knowing the variations between your alternatives can help you make more knowledgeable decisions. Heat pumps and air conditioners each have their own characteristics, and deciding on the best one to have put in will depend on your climate and how you heat and cool your home.

Throughout the summer, air conditioners and heat pumps work the same. Refrigerant in a cold, liquid state moves through the evaporator coil. The unit?s blower blows air past the coils, chilling the air. The coils then soak up heat from the home and the refrigerant inside expands into a gas. This gas moves outside to the condenser where the refrigerant loses its heat as a fan blows over the coils. The refrigerant then moves into a compressor to be compressed back into a cold, liquid condition to move back into the home?s evaporator coils and repeat the procedure.

In the wintertime, heat pumps turn this cooling method backwards. So instead of drawing heat from the home and expelling it outside, heat from the outside is pumped into the dwelling. These are commonly not very effective if you live in an area where it generally freezes in the winter, but for mild areas in the South with typical winter lows around 45 degrees Fahrenheit, this equipment works well for warming a house.

If you have an air conditioning system set up, you will still need another heating unit to keep you warm throughout the winter season. If you have an existing furnace that continuously needs repair, look at a heat pump to replace it and your A/C system if you dwell in an area with a mild winter climate. Talk to your HVAC service technician to determine if you require a new heating or cooling device, and what your best alternatives are.

Keeping your home warm in the winter season and cool in the summer time is a matter of having the proper equipment for the job. Your decision to have either a heat pump to heat your home or an air conditioner and auxiliary furnace will establish how comfortable your home is all through the year.

FDA approves Horizon's rheumatoid arthritis drug

(Reuters) - Horizon Pharma Inc said U.S. health regulators approved its experimental drug to treat a broad range of disorders including rheumatoid arthritis.

Horizon said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the drug Rayos to treat inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Rayos, which is a delayed-release formulation of low-dose prednisone, is marketed in Europe as Lodotra to treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.

The biopharmaceutical company, which went public a year ago, had conducted two trials to establish safety and efficacy of the drug.

Fitness for Seniors- Achieve Health and Fitness At Any Age

Today?s seniors understand that the need to remain health and fit is more important than ever. They plan to live longer and enjoy a more active lifestyle than their parents? generation. Walk in any gym today and you?ll see people in their 60s, 70s and even 80s engaged in some level of physical activity.

As our bodies age we naturally begin to experience a loss of muscle accompanied by gradual decline in overall strength. Active seniors are turning in increasing numbers to fitness centers to achieve a greater level of fitness.

The benefits of being in good health are apparent for all ages, not just seniors. At a basic level the ability to engage in daily activities with ease and freedom of movement is crucial. But there is no need to think that the average 65 or 70 year old can?t follow a more rigorous fitness program.

Many gyms and fitness centers offer specialized programs developed for seniors.

They focus on the four basic components: balance, a strong core, good flexibility, and overall muscular strength. These components are essential for the body to stay moving properly and to prevent injury.?The injuries and problems encountered by older individuals are often due to a lack of strength, flexibility and mobility.

Engaging in an exercise program is good preventative ?medicine?. By keeping mobile, strengthening the essential muscles and doing cardiovascular work, seniors become stronger and feel a general sense of wellbeing.? A strong core helps to prevent falls, by improving balance and helping seniors feel more confident about their abilities.

Cardio work has shown to be helpful for people with high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Seniors want to improve their life, fitness programs are a part of that goal.

The best way to begin is by finding a fitness gym with personal trainers or a program designed specifically for seniors. Such a program would include exercises and routines to achieve:

  • Increase range of motion
  • Better sense of balance
  • Overall body strength
  • Greater physical confidence
  • Maximize core strength
  • Increase ability to perform daily tasks
  • Improve cardiovascular ability

When looking for the best gym for your goals you should take the time to learn more about the owners, the gym layout and the level of instruction offered to clients. Ask if you can observe or even take a class for seniors. Observe how the ainstructor and seniors interact. Is there enough guidance for those seniors who need help? Is the level of the class one that would feel comfortable for you, if not can it be easily modified to your current fitness level? Check to see if there are seniors using the gym regularly and what kinds of activities or exercise workouts they?re engaged in.

It would be helpful to ask staff about their experience in working with clients of varying age ranges. See if there is someone on staff who specializes in working with seniors.

Your goal is to find the fitness studio that feels right for your goals. Seniors fall in a range of activity levels and fitness, just like the rest of the population. You want to find a place that feels comfortable and welcoming?a gym that is accustomed to working with the individualized needs of seniors.

Premier Fitness Systems of Scottsdale is a personal training studio. Their emphasis is on coaching and personal training; one of their offerings is Senior Fitness. At Premier you can work to achieve your individual fitness goals. The trained staff is courteous, well trained and eager to help you get into the best shape possible.
