[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Most Americans will still take their hard-earned summer vacations and dine recreationally this year, albeit more frugally because of the troubled economy, tourism and hospitality analysts predict. However, many travelers are not expected to venture as far from home as in past years or stay away as long, said tourism experts and restaurateurs with locations in seasonal-getaway destinations. “Usually, people modify the types of restaurants theyll go to [on holiday],” she said. “I think they will still eat out, but they may eat out once a day instead of three times” and seek out homes away from home that have cooking facilities.

ABSTRACT Policy makers are often faced with limited resources and continuing demand for public services, and must make difficult decisions about how to allocate the public funds entrusted to them. To assess the economic value of ecosystems, such as beaches, a recreation demand function is estimated using the individual travel cost method (ITCM) for tourist areas in Northwest Florida. Visitor behavior patterns, broken down by the purpose of trip, such as business, vacation, and visits to friends and relatives (VFR), are examined. Survey data provided determinants of length of stay in the recreation area. The empirical results demonstrate the elasticities of income and prices of recreation products. Consumer surplus is also estimated to measure the changes in welfare according to the changes in value of resources. Policy makers in beach communities are faced with limited resources and continuing demand for public services, and must make difficult decisions about how to allocate the public funds entrusted to them. Those in charge of protecting and managing vital beach resources must justify their decisions in terms of benefits to the natural environment and demonstrate fiscal accountability if they wish to maintain public support. Often they are asked to justify their decisions in terms of the economic value that is generated for the community (Font, 2000). One of the primary economic benefits that these communities enjoy is spending related to beach tourism. Beach related tourist activity in the Northwest Florida area has long been a major source of employment for local residents, sales for local companies, and tax revenues for local government. Tourisms contribution to economic activity in the area is therefore an important consideration in community planning. Economic analyses that provide tangible estimates of these economic interdependencies and a better understanding of the role and importance of tourism in a regions economy are valuable to policy makers. The purpose of this paper is to estimate a recreation demand function to estimate the economic value of ecosystems, such as beaches, using the individual travel cost method (ITCM) for tourist areas in Northwest Florida. Once the demand curve has been defined and estimated, one can also estimate the average consumer surplus, or economic benefits, for the recreational amenities of the beach. It is often mistakenly assumed that market price is the same as economic value. Actually, the market price represents the minimum amount that someone buying a good is willing to pay for it. People purchase marketed goods only if their willingness to pay is equal to or greater than the price of the good. Many people are actually willing to pay more than the market price for a good, reflecting an economic value greater than the market price. For policy makers to make resource allocation decisions based on economic values, what they need to know is the net economic benefit of a good or service. For individuals, incremental net benefits beyond the price paid are called consumer surplus, and are measured as the difference between the price actually paid for a good, and the maximum amount that an individual is willing to pay for it.

Nostalgia, a vintage clothing shop, recently opened in the Fairhavens new Young Building, which is connected to the Waldron Building. The shop features original clothing from 1930 to 1970, as well as vintage-inspired new clothing. Owner Lynn Loewen said the style trends are moving away from mass-produced clothing. “Fashionable women want to have a unique look that belongs just to them,” she said. “It feels good to be noticed and remembered for wearing something fabulous no one else has.” Loewen, who spent the past eight months scouring flea markets, estate sales, and thrift stores, has found everything from vintage Gucci, to Kate Spade, Diane Von Furstenburg and other designer clothing, as well as lesser-known fashionable labels. The store will offer vintage cocktail dresses, antique jewelry, accessories, shoes, themed party-wear, jeans, and new vintage-style T-shirts in various styles and colors.

Trendy clothing franchise offers insight on shopping for teenagers this holiday season MINNEAPOLIS — Its no secret that fashion is top-of-mind for many teenagers today. To get people into full swing for holiday shopping, Scott Giesinger, director of Platos Closet[R], encourages people to think smart when it comes to shopping for teenagers and young adults. “Staying on top of fashion trends can be difficult, and that can make shopping for teenagers a challenge,” Giesinger said. “We know what teenagers look for in fashion and we have observed first-hand how they shop for apparel and accessories. In fact, its amazing how smart our consumers/customers are when it comes to fashion, and its interesting how they implement great ideas into their wardrobes to reflect their own personal styles.” According to a Washington Post snapshot study on teen shopping habits: * Although it might seem as though teenagers spend frivolously when it comes to shopping, they are actually price-conscious.

We consider the problem of optimizing the time for loading and unloading containers to and from a ship at a container terminal, where containers are required to be transported by trucks between the ship and their designated locations in the container yard. Generally speaking, a container terminal consists of the quayside, where containers are unloaded from and loaded onto ships, and the container storage yard, where containers are stored. External trucks are responsible for taking containers in and out of a container terminal. Internal trucks are responsible for transporting containers within the terminal, mainly between the container yard and the quayside. When a ship arrives at the terminal, containers are first unloaded from the ship onto the internal trucks by quay cranes. Next, the internal trucks transport the containers to their prespecified locations in the container yard. Upon arrival at the container block, a container is unloaded from the truck by a yard crane. After most of the containers have been unloaded from the ship, the outbound containers are transported from the storage yard to the quayside by those internal trucks and are loaded onto the ship by the quay cranes. Typically, several quay cranes can work in parallel to serve a ship, where each crane is designated to handle one section of the ship. To maximize the efficiency of this operation, it is important to have the turnaround time of the ship minimized. The speed of this loading/unloading operation is limited by the availability of the quay cranes and trucks. A quay crane can handle only one container at a time, and also a truck can normally only transport one container at a time. The yard cranes, on the other hand, have more capacity, and they usually spend their spare time shuffling the containers within a container block so as to reduce the loading/unloading time of the future tasks. Research related to the efficiency of container terminal operations has appeared in the literature. This includes the use of queuing models to study the utilization of container terminal capacity, see for example, Easa (1987), Daganzo (1990), and Gransberg and Basilotto (1998). It also includes the studies of operational issues such as berth allocation (Brown et al., 1997; Li et al., 1998; Lim, 1998), crane movements (Daganzo, 1989; Peterkofsky and Daganzo, 1990; Kim and Kim, 1999), storage allocation (De Castilho and Daganzo, 1993; Kim et al., 2000; Bish et al., 2001; Bish, 2003), and vehicle dispatching (Bostel and Dejax, 1998; Powell and Carvalho, 1998). Recently, Bish et al. (2001) considered a vehicle dispatching problem in a container terminal. In their model, containers are first unloaded from a ship by quay cranes following a prespecified sequence (known as “crane job sequence”). The unloaded containers are transported to their destinations in the container yard by a fleet of identical vehicles, each of which can carry one container at a time. Another set of containers are then transported from the yard by the same set of vehicles and are loaded onto the ship, also following a prespecified sequence. It is assumed that the travel times of vehicles satisfy the triangle inequality. The time that a quay crane needs to load/unload a container is assumed to be the same for all the jobs. The objective is to determine a vehicle schedule so as to minimize the makespan, i.e., the time it takes to complete the entire loading/unloading operation for the ship. They developed optimal and heuristic solution procedures for solving this problem. They performed worst-case analysis as well as computational analysis on their heuristic method for the single quay crane case of the problem. Their computational analysis is further extended to the multiple quay crane case. In this paper, we build on the work of Bish et al. (2001). We relax the assumption that the loading and unloading time of container is the same for all the jobs. In the presence of a single crane, we present an optimal algorithm which is efficient for small problems. For large problems, we provide a lower bound procedure as well as heuristics with favorable worst-case error bound and fast asymptotic convergence. Our analyses for the single crane case are supported by extensive computational experiments on randomly generated problems.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The amount of water on planet Earth has not changed in the last two billion years - but in the last century, water use increased at twice the rate of the world population. The United States flushes 6.8 billion gallons of water down the toilet every day, while more than half of our states anticipate freshwater shortages in the next 10 years. These are just a few of the facts plumbers learned when they attended one of the workshops held in California this fall to introduce the new GreenPlumbers[R] program. The program, which originated in Australia in 2001, is giving plumbers a new image - and a new mission. “Plumbers have long held their mission to be protecting the health of the country,” said Stephen Lehtonen, spokesperson for GreenPlumbersUSA. “Because of climate change and global warming, our new mission is to protect the resources of the planet by training plumbers to be advocates and educators in environmental protection and conservation.” Lehtonen facilitated a 15-year agreement that allows the enormously successful and effective GreenPlumbers[R] training program of Australia to be implemented in the United States. “GreenPlumbers[R] is an accreditation program that trains plumbers in water conservation and climate care issues,” Lehtonen said. “The program is designed to help save water and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” Intended as a comprehensive industry response to climate and water care issues, the program is open to all plumbers, regardless of affiliation or association membership. GreenPlumbers[R] has developed a five-course accreditation that totals 32 hours of training. The courses are Climate Care, Caring For Our Water, Solar Hot Water, Water-Efficient Technology, and Inspection Report Service. Training workshops debuted in California this fall. The response from attending plumbers and contractors has been very positive. After being trained in Caring for Our Water and Climate Care classes, attendees commented: “Very overdue education. Thank God its here now,” and, “Conserving water and utilizing the new technology will help save my clients money and build my companys reputation.” The response from government agencies and conservation groups has also been enthusiastic. “This is a great idea,” said Karen Morvay, water conservation specialist at the Santa Clara Valley Water District. “With the direct contact plumbers make each day with residents, I cant imagine a better spokesperson for energy and water use efficiency.”

THORNTON Lodges Under-18 Amateur Rugby League team had an easy win against their Newsome and Primrose Hill opponents in the final of the Sam Wood Cup in April 1949. In the match, at the Fartown Rugby League ground, Newsome suffered a heavy blow early in the game when they lost the services of G Moss in the first few minutes of the game. Thornton Lodge went straight into attack and Comyn scored a try in the first five minutes of play. Thornton Lodge kept up their attack and Hassall quickly added to the score by going over for two tries, from which the goal kicks failed. Later, when Dickenson scored a try, Townends shot at goal was successful and so Thornton Lodge were 14 points up at half-time.

The Insurance industry covers establishments that collect premiums in exchange for providing financial benefits in the event of loss or injury. Many insurance companies specialize in insuring against a specific type of loss. Common forms of insurance include life, health and medical, home and property, workers compensation, automobile, retirement, and title insurance. The industry also covers reinsurance, the practice of insurance companies assuming risk for other insurers. In addition to providers of insurance services, the industry includes brokers and agents that negotiate policies between clients and insurance companies, and industry support services such as independent inspectors and claims adjusters.Insurance is, by its very nature, a risky business. The industry can clearly be profitable, but the degree of profits is often impacted by outside factors that cannot be predicted or controlled. American Family Insurance Group reported a net income increase of 263 percent in 2004. The company had income of $564.4 million, up from $155.4 million in 2003. One of the major factors in the increased profit was the weather. American Family reported storm losses of about $105 million less than its projections for the year. In contrast, the company paid a record $834.9 million in storm and catastrophic losses in 2001.Over recent years, insurance companies have benefited from the comparatively low interest rate. The interest rate has started to rise, however, and the unusually high level of prepayment income that insurance companies received from their fixed income holdings in 2004 are not likely to continue.The high cost of gasoline may also be having an unexpected impact. As prices rises, motorists drive less, and therefore have fewer accidents. Drivers still need to maintain insurance coverage, but if driving decreases, the number of auto accident claims can be expected to decline as well.To remain competitive, insurance companies seek to develop new policy features for which they can charge premium rates. These premiums are often short lived, however, as competing companies quickly adopt the new features until they have essentially become standard practices. One of the biggest new life insurance features in recent years has been the “no lapse guarantee,” which ensures the payment of benefits indefinitely, as long as premiums continue to be paid. This feature has now been so widely adopted that it is no longer reasonable to charge a premium price for it. Such competitive product development makes it difficult for insurance companies to raise prices.

Biofield therapies form a subcategory of the domain of energy therapies, as defined by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Specific biofield therapies addressed in this article include Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, Polarity Therapy, Reiki, and Qigong. This article will identify core concepts in biofield therapies, review controlled trials of the use of biofield therapies with patients with cancer, describe the process of biofield therapies implementation in one cancer center, and suggest research to benefit not only patients with cancer but also family members and oncology professionals. Biofield therapies form a subcategory of energy therapies, one of the five complementary medicine domains defined by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). The terminology of biofield therapies is diverse because the practices that comprise the field have developed cross-culturally over thousands of years and, in recent decades, have been reformulated, taught, and practiced in a variety of ways. Terms in common use include energy healing, energy medicine, energy therapies, laying on of hands, and spiritual healing. Forms of practice found in North American healthcare systems include Healing Touch (HT), Polarity Therapy (PT), Qigong, Reiki, and Therapeutic Touch (TT) (see Figure 1). Two of the modalities were formulated specifically in the context of nursing: TT in the 1970s by Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN, at New York University, and HT in the 1980s by Janet Mentgen, BSN, RN, in Colorado. Krieger worked with healer Dora Kunz to develop and teach TT, a formal procedure for assessment and treatment of the human biofield. Mentgen compiled a range of biofield healing interventions from her own practice and from other healers and developed HT as a training program. PT was developed in the 1940s and 1950s by Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND, who combined aspects of ancient healing practice with information from osteopathy and chiropractic. Qigong and Reiki are modalities of Japanese and Chinese origin, respectively. See Figure 2 for resources to learn more about the different types of biofield therapies. Although the modalities have differences, they share some common assumptions. * The human body has a subtle energy system that interpenetrates the physical anatomy and extends outward beyond it.

Russell Gornichec has been named medical director of Edmond Medical Centers bariatric unit, the Edmond Surgical Weight Loss Center.
When the body is forced into a state of hypercatabolism or hypermetabolism, such as from a wound, burn, sepsis, major surgery, cancer, pulmonary disease, or a major trauma, the patient is at high risk for involuntary weight loss and proteincalorie malnutrition (Table 1). This has serious health implications, with the risk of patient morbidity and mortality increasing in direct proportion to decreases in body weight. The question becomes, then, how much is too much loss of body weight? As suggested by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1987, problematic weight loss includes the following: * severe weight loss: loss of more than 5% body weight in 30 days, more than 7.5% in 60 days, or more than 10% in 180 days. Various formulas can be used to calculate the percentage of body weight lost. One that generally provides a good picture of the patients current state of health is the following: usual weight - actual weight x 100 ./. usual weight = percentage of body weight loss.

Instant Messages Supplement Previously Available Online Notifications OJAI, Calif. — At the ISC East 2007, NextAlarm.com, The Broadband Alarm Company[R], today announced that it has expanded its E-Notify alarm notification service to include support for popular instant message platforms AOL Instant Messenger and Yahoo! Instant Messenger. These new features allow subscribers to NextAlarms alarm monitoring service to have notifications of alarm events sent directly to their PC or mobile IM client. The new service offerings join NextAlarms already existing suite of notification abilities, including cell phone text message, e-mail, and automated phone call. In addition, NextAlarm.com[R] continues to offer traditional alarm monitoring, with alarm responses handled by live operators at an alarm monitoring central station, or call center. “This was the obvious next step in keeping our edge in the online arena”, said Chief Operating Officer Daniel Elliot. “Thousands of our subscribers already use our e-mail notifications extensively, even relying on them instead of traditional dispatch response on one of our non-dispatch service plans. Now they can receive notifications even faster than before.” The new service is expected to be of particular interest for non-emergency signals. For example, Elliot says, working parents can receive instant confirmation when their children come home from school, and business owners can easily keep tabs on when their employees open and close a store. The instant messages can be sent to any AIM or YIM client, including ones based on mobile devices like cell phones or WiFi-enabled personal digital assistants.
VoIPAlarm 2 IP Alarm Signal Platform Expanded to Offer Download and Remote Access of Alarm Systems without Telephone Lines OJAI, Calif. — Nationwide alarm monitoring provider NextAlarm.com([R]), The Broadband Alarm Company([R]), has released a major upgrade to its VoIPAlarm 2 IP alarm signal transmission platform. VoIPAlarm 2 uses NextAlarm.coms Alarm Broadband Network (ABN) technology to convert existing telephone-based security alarm systems to communicate over broadband Internet connections. Previously, the platform allowed alarm systems to send their signals over the Internet, but did not allow alarm installers to program the systems remotely, as is possible over standard telephone lines. With the new upgrade, all VoIPAlarm dealers can reconfigure one of their existing ABN adapters to use specifically for downloading. This adapter is then used with standard security alarm programming modems and software to connect to the dealers customers over broadband Internet, and program them exactly as over a telephone line. “Most of the other IP communicator products on the market completely ignore this aspect of an alarm companys operation,” said Daniel Elliot, NextAlarm.coms Chief Operations Officer. “Remote programming is a huge part of the utility of modern security systems, and now VoIPAlarm 2 fully supports it.”

WHAT IS CORPORATE EDUCATION?This report discusses the extensive education and training programs established and run by corporations and other organizations, largely profitmaking enterprises whose primary purpose is something other than education, in the context of traditional higher education. As used in this report, “corporate education” is education offered by a business or industry for its own employees.HOW EXTENSIVE IS CORPORATE EDUCATION?Corporate education is an extensive, multifaceted endeavor, costing billions of dollars, educating millions of people, and absorbing many working hours annually.It is estimated, for example, that approximately $30 billion to $50 billion is spent on formal employee education and $180 billion on informal, on-the-job, education. Employees in companies with 500 or more employees–4.4 million people–can expect to receive frequent instruction paid for and provided by their employers.IS CORPORATE EDUCATION A THREAT TO HIGHER EDUCATION?As colleges and universities strive to respond to the needs of nontraditional students, they often find that corporate educators have preceded them. Corporations, with the assistance of the American Council on Education and the New York Board of Regents, have had their courses evaluated, frequently leading to the granting of credit for corporate coursework by colleges and universities.Courses offered by corporations range from remedial to postgraduate level management and technical courses. Corporations have even founded their own colleges, known as “corporate colleges.” These educational efforts potentially could threaten the health, and devalue the worth of, higher education, but in fact, corporate education is compatible with–indeed complements–traditional higher education. Higher education in the United States has been responsive to the needs of the workplace since the beginning of the federal period. The prevailing dialogue in higher education has long been the weighing of tradeoffs–practically and philosophically–between general education and what now is called “career education.” The formal recognition of instruction independent of the providers is a multifaceted and complex enterprise on the postsecondary education scene in and of itself. These efforts have accomplished two things. First, the structural conformity of noncollegiate instruction with collegiate instruction (for example, associating credit hours with contact hours) facilitates transfers and students mobility and opens up an array of potential cooperative efforts between businesses and colleges. Second, they have served as a major channel of communication between school and corporation about educational content and methods. This report presents the interaction between corporate education and these recognition processes, a path by which noncollegiate education can wend its way into the most traditional patterns of higher education. Innovations find their way into higher education in five ways, one of which is when external institutions appear on the scene to challenge, titillate, and/or draw attention to significant issues.The emergence of corporate education with its interest in formal recognition offers opportunities and challenges to higher education in the way it teaches, the students it seeks, and the perception of the purposes of education. The growth of corporate education is a stimulus to both internal collegiate debates and public policy decision making.WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED FROM THE PROLIFERATION OF CORPORATE EDUCATION?Many profitable educational ventures have been initiated that were provoked by employers recognition of their responsibility for developing their employees. The American University, for example, using its own faculty, offers an MS in toxicology at Litton Industries, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology cooperates in an education program with IBM and Digital Equipment. An indirect benefit to colleges resulting from an increased awareness of conditions in higher education on the part of business and industry has been the use of modern technology by colleges and universities to educates future employees. And a national discussion on the role of colleges and universities in American society has been stimulated by heightened awareness of shared national needs.

Nostalgia, a vintage clothing shop, recently opened in the Fairhavens new Young Building, which is connected to the Waldron Building. The shop features original clothing from 1930 to 1970, as well as vintage-inspired new clothing. Owner Lynn Loewen said the style trends are moving away from mass-produced clothing. “Fashionable women want to have a unique look that belongs just to them,” she said. “It feels good to be noticed and remembered for wearing something fabulous no one else has.” Loewen, who spent the past eight months scouring flea markets, estate sales, and thrift stores, has found everything from vintage Gucci, to Kate Spade, Diane Von Furstenburg and other designer clothing, as well as lesser-known fashionable labels. The store will offer vintage cocktail dresses, antique jewelry, accessories, shoes, themed party-wear, jeans, and new vintage-style T-shirts in various styles and colors.

Trendy clothing franchise offers insight on shopping for teenagers this holiday season MINNEAPOLIS — Its no secret that fashion is top-of-mind for many teenagers today. To get people into full swing for holiday shopping, Scott Giesinger, director of Platos Closet[R], encourages people to think smart when it comes to shopping for teenagers and young adults. “Staying on top of fashion trends can be difficult, and that can make shopping for teenagers a challenge,” Giesinger said. “We know what teenagers look for in fashion and we have observed first-hand how they shop for apparel and accessories. In fact, its amazing how smart our consumers/customers are when it comes to fashion, and its interesting how they implement great ideas into their wardrobes to reflect their own personal styles.” According to a Washington Post snapshot study on teen shopping habits: * Although it might seem as though teenagers spend frivolously when it comes to shopping, they are actually price-conscious.
