CHEYENNE – Transportation planners from Wyoming and Colorado asked a legislative committee Wednesday to revise insurance laws to encourage public vanpooling for workers who cross state lines.

“There’s quite a bit of interest,” said Nancy Olson, transportation planner with the Cheyenne Metropolitan Planning Organization.

Olson and Aaron Fodge of the North Front Range MPO asked the Legislature’s Joint Transportation, Highways and Military Affairs Interim Committee to sponsor a bill.

The legislation would adjust auto insurance laws to allow recognition of auto insurance liability limits for public entities on both sides of border.

“Private insurance would make it prohibitive,” Olson said.

If Wyoming and Colorado, or any other border state, can pass that kind of legislation, then the states also would have to enter into an agreement.

Fodge said, “Vanpooling is skyrocketing” on the Front Range of Colorado and around the nation.

Vanpooling allows commuters to pay a flat fee – such as $180 a month – to commute to or from Greeley, Colo., or Fort Collins, Colo., and Cheyenne.

Hundreds of workers cross the border both ways, Olson said, supplying workers for employers like Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and the Wal-Mart distribution center.

“I think it’s an important workforce issue for Cheyenne,” Rep. Mary Throne, D-Cheyenne, who is not a member, told the committee.

Throne added that the resort areas of Teton County also have significant interest. “So it’s not just Laramie County.”

Those resort areas already provide a bus to fetch workers in Idaho, who can’t afford to live in Teton County.

Olson said the resorts pay the private insurance because they need the workers.

Committee co-chairman Sen. Michael Von Flatern, R-Gillette, said, however, the committee could not sponsor the bill because it was not authorized by the Legislature’s Management Council to address the issue, and the committee has several other bills to put forward

And I mean

And I mean ANYTHING. If your tree is losing its bark you call a specialist to figure out the problem. If you have problems with your physical health you go to a medical doctor. If you are having problems that are emotional or mental in nature you go to a psychologist or psychiatrist or both. This is not something to fool around with. Never try to self-diagnose or diagnose someone else. Articles, books and information on the Internet are simply meant to provide you with facts, ideas and options. They should be used to help you decide if maybe you need to see a professional. Remember, I’m not a doctor, I just play one on the Internet – so don’t take my information to be the absolute truth.

The reason you want to see a professional is that lists of symptoms from any source, including the DSM-IV, are tools that they use along with special training to provide you with a correct diagnosis. In fact, it is so difficult a job to diagnose illnesses that many of us have been misdiagnosed or had our diagnosis changed as other symptoms presented themselves.

Case No. 9

She’s a 27-year-old single mother of five small children.

Her ex-husband is currently incarcerated and isn’t providing any financial support to the family.

“If he was out of jail, he probably wouldn’t be paying child support anyway,” her caseworker said.

She collects $838 in food stamps every month. She gets no other state assistance right now because she doesn’t have a car. And without transportation from her rural home, she cannot complete the job training required to get further aid, the caseworker said.

Her grandmother and an aunt are helping to pay her utilities and prop up any shortfalls on the monthly grocery bill

Don?t eat them in

Don?t eat them in excess. Try to eat a healthy salad instead of French fries. We know, it is not as tasty but it will lower the ?evil? cholesterol.

5. Stop being a ?couch potato?, start exercising every day. You can do aerobics, you can walk or jog, you can even play basketball, but it is absolutely necessary for you to do it every day.

6. Tropical oils don?t do you good. If you want to get a lower cholesterol level you must start using vegetable oils (olive oil is the best choice) or canola oils.

7. Always read the label on the food products you are buying to be sure of what you are buying in terms of fats level.

8. Now let?s talk about alcohol. Drinking is not exactly your best activity during a diet, as it can ruin your efforts, but latest research has shown that a glass of red wine per day can lower cholesterol in some cases.

9. A cholesterol lowering medication if it is prescribed or recommended by a physician will have maximum effectiveness for your diet if you will respect it entirely.

10. And we saved the best for last.

They talk about

They talk about how they are doing. They are willing to invest time and money to protect and enhance the basic team fabric and integrity. In a team, people care about each other and are concerned about how their actions and attitudes affect each other.

Managers report that they spend from fifty to ninety percent of their efforts on managing individuals. Yes, most managers have little or no knowledge of group dynamics. With CMOE?s teamwork training programs, you will discover the inner dimensions and facets of how groups become teams and how group dynamics can be managed. Observing groups at work adds clarity to the very subtle and often subliminal concept of teamwork. It is not magic and there is no secret; it can be explained and put into practice by any manager.

Many of our teamwork training activities are instruments that allow participants to observe and unmask the common enemies of teamwork. It helps if we can see more clearly obstacles that all too frequently are created within a team.

Team afflictions can be widespread, including: destructive and over-charged competitiveness, individualism, over-inflated egos, personal greed, and technology such as computers that drive us into ourselves and have the potential of isolating us so we can ?do our own thing.? Seeing the impact of these afflictions on the quality of teamwork is the first step towards creating a more effective team.

Former Lancastrian, An Energy Insider, Pens Book

Former Lancastrian, An Energy Insider, Pens Book

0 Comments | Intelligencer Journal Lancaster New Era; Combined Saturday edition, Jul 23, 2010 | by Jack Brubaker

John Hofmeister’s new book, “Why We Hate the Oil Companies,” is billed as “straight talk from an energy insider.”

That it is. Hofmeister, former president of Shell Oil and founder of Citizens for Affordable Energy, claims that just about everyone has mismanaged the energy issue.

His book lays out a new proposal to create a “coherent, pragmatic energy policy.” The pragmatic part, he says, comes from his Lancaster County background.

“I learned a lot from growing up (in Lancaster),” says Hofmeister in a telephone interview from his home in Houston, Texas. “The life of pragmatism that I currently practice has its roots in Lancaster County soil.”

Hosfmeister moved with his family to New Holland in 1955, when he was in second grade. He lived here for 13 years. While attending Kansas State University, he worked summer jobs at New Holland Farm Equipment and H.M. Stauffer in Leola.

In 1996, he and his wife, Karen, reacquainted themselves with the area when they purchased Lime Valley Mill, south of Willow Street.

They restored the gristmill to working condition, expanded the farm, and currently produce and sell “naturally grown” produce, eggs and meats to four area markets

“The farm was a junkyard when we bought it,” Hofmeister explains. “We worked very hard to put the pieces together for the sake of Lancaster County and its history.”

But Hofmeister is only a very part-time farmer and miller. He has spent most of his life working with a variety of industries, winding up as president of Houston-based Shell from 2005 to 2008.

Then he started up Citizens for Affordable Energy – a national organization dedicated to educating citizens and government officials about energy alternatives.

To start of with, stretch marks

To start of with, stretch marks are an occurrence that tends to affect both men and women alike. There are lotions that are specially created to get rid of the stretch marks on the body; these lotions function by moisturizing the skin thereby helping the skin maintain its suppleness when it is stretched during pregnancy. The good thing about anti stretch mark creams and lotions is that they can be afforded by almost everybody because they come in different shapes, containers and prices. Stretch marks can be prevented by drinking up to eight glasses of water a day because water allows the skin to retain its strength in the event that it is overstretched. Statistics indicate that seventy percent of teenage girls are affected by stretch marks and ninety percent of pregnant woman also have stretch marks. In case you are thinking about doing away with your stretch marks by paying for laser surgery, you should know that the surgery is expensive because the surgeon uses a diverse range of lasers for the different colors of stretch marks on your body. Stretch marks are occurrences that make a lot of people feel uncomfortable when they notice the stretch marks; but the good news is that there are workable solutions to get rid of as much of them as possible. You can make your own stretch mark prevention cream by following the instructions for making this home remedy; put half a cup of virgin oil into your blender, and add a quarter of aloe vera gel, the liquid from six capsules of vitamin E and the liquid of from four capsules of vitamin A blend and keep in the refrigerator after which you can start applying to the affected areas. Dermabrasion is a surgical procedure that involves the scraping off of the superficial layers of the skin by using a machine that looks like a belt sander; however, while it does not rebuild tears in the connective skin tissue, it does make the skin appear smoother & softer. On a final note, water plays a crucial role in the prevention of stretch marks because it revives dried up skin cells and boosts the texture and tautness of your skin so; make sure you gulp at last eight cups of water daily.

Third repetition and

Third repetition and well done, believe me! They know that three points would be subtracted from the mark to make up for having been late.

A day I realized that nobody was listening to me when a seat was empty. Why should you listen to your teacher when you know that she is going to repeat everything within a quarter of an hour?

Of course, I had to change the way I dealt with the latecomers… until the class leapt into another breach.
