Airport officials reveal staggering budget shortfall
By J. Scott Trubey and Maria Saporta
Friday, May 7, 2010
Once again the city of Atlanta and the airlines are about to prove just how much they need each other.
And once again, the fate of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s international terminal could hang in the balance.
Atlanta airport officials on May 4 revealed a staggering budget shortfall that’s been compounded by the lingering global economy, concessions offered to Delta Air Lines Inc. in its latest master lease deal, and an accounting change that has caused further headaches.
At stake is the airport’s top-of-the-line credit rating, which it needs to maintain if it is to re-enter the bond market for $650 million in fresh capital to finish the international terminal, plus cash needed for future capital projects and the refinancing of some existing debt. The terminal is now under construction and about halfway completed.
Ben DeCosta, general manager of Hartsfield-Jackson, on May 4 told Atlanta City Council members the support of all the airlines is critical to maintaining the airport’s credit rating. That undoubtedly means the city, Delta and the rest of the airlines will once again step up to the negotiating table.
“There’s three legs to this stool that would support our credit rating,” DeCosta told the council. “It’s cost containment, it’s new revenue and it’s airline support.”
Without new bond money, insiders fear terminal construction could be threatened.
DeCosta told council members the airport’s revenues will plunge nearly 10 percent to $355.2 million in fiscal year 2011 in part because of continued weakness in air travel and passenger spending, but largely because of revenues not collected under the city’s new master lease agreement with its largest tenant, Delta.
Airport officials are also grappling with an accounting change shunting certain expenses formerly accounted for as capital costs as operating costs.
As a result, certain fees such as short-term and daily parking and charges to operators of airport shuttles, among others, are going to have to go up. And 67 airport employees are going to lose their jobs.
A new round of talks between the airlines and the city will be yet another early test for new Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, who has made growth of the airport, particularly air cargo, a cornerstone of his five-month-old administration.
The airport also has yet to finalize a lease extension with AirTran Airways Inc., Hartsfield-Jackson’s second largest tenant, and the other air carriers.
It is likely the shape of those talks will be affected by the airport’s budget woes.
The $1.3 billion Maynard Holbrook Jackson International Terminal was designed to accommodate Delta’s overseas growth ambitions. But it became a battleground in late 2008 in a dispute over a new long-term lease and what Delta said were concerns about future capital projects costs.
Former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin and top lieutenants crafted the new master lease extension with Delta after a brouhaha over the price tag of future capital projects threatened to derail construction of the international terminal.
Under its new seven-year deal with the city, annual revenue from Delta (NYSE: DAL) and the airlines collected through landing fees and rents will plunge $25.7 million.
That, coupled with a global recession that has chilled passenger demand for more than a year, has forced the airport into unprecedented cuts.
Non-airline revenues, those collected from concessions, parking and other sources like rental car fees, will decline $9.9 million largely because of the recession.
Airport traffic counts were down about 2 percent in 2009.
DeCosta told the council Hartsfield-Jackson has been named the most efficiently run large airport in the world by the Air Transport Research Society, and will be again this year. But efficiencies can only accomplish so much.
The shortfall will have to be made up through cost cuts and fee hikes, he told council members.
“The cuts we are recommending are ones we feel are necessary … to preserve and protect our credit rating so we can go to (the bond) market,” said DeCosta.
After the meeting, DeCosta declined to discuss the matter further with reporters.
The city withdrew its first attempt to sell and refinance the international terminal bonds after Delta pulled its support in late 2008. Delta wanted cuts to the price of the international terminal and more say in future capital projects to ensure operating costs remained low at Hartsfield-Jackson.
Delta and the city inked the new lease deal before Franklin left office Dec. 31, and the airline agreed to support the city re-entry into the bond market.
The new fees —including increases in short-term and daily parking and new surcharges on hotel airport shuttles and some additional property leases — will generate $20.9 million in new revenue.
DeCosta said the fee increases will be outlined in a future council meeting.
“This is extremely serious,” DeCosta told the council. “The fact I had to look in the face of 67 team members and tell them they don’t have a job.”
The fees are not likely to be popular with the passengers who park their cars or with the city’s hospitality community. Last year, the hospitality community convinced city leaders not to increase fees for operators of shuttles for each time they drive to the airport.
Councilwoman Felicia Moore, a member of the transportation committee, said the lease with Delta is to blame for some of the airports budget woes.
“When we decided to do the lease extension,” Moore said, “we set ourselves up for many of the scenarios that we have here.”
With all due respect to our previous mayor who was a vast improvement over Campbell, this looks like another grenade handed to the Reed administration.
A new lease deal with Delta had to be crafted, and Delta needed something that was competitive, so I wouldn’t blame the lease deal.
Instead, I would look to possible airport operational inefficiencies and mild “corruption” at the airport (not illegal, just inefficient awarding of contracts that raise costs for the airport and reduces net revenues). In addition, the biggest problem is the international terminal that is way behind schedule and incredibly over budget – also due to some of the aforementioned problems.
I genuinely feel like Reed has walked into an Obama-like situation, having been handed a rash of problems from the Bush administration (mainly a failure to deal with underlying financial issues due to inability of the voters and council members / Congress to focus on financial fundamentals except in times of absolute emergency). It doesn’t appear that Reed has yet made some of the mistakes the Obama administration has. We shall see. What a mess. It makes me sick to my stomach. Really, just unbelievable.Report
There’s no grenade here. DeCosta needs to downsize just like every other business has had to do.
The airport is completely bloated with far to many employees. Delta and its CEO Richard Anderson knew this during the lease negotiations. They negotiated the lease knowing the airport would have to make cuts. Obviously, Franklin didn’t disagree with Anderson.
Here’s an example. CA One used to do retail compliance for the airport with three employees. DeCosta didn’t renew their contract and started his own in-house compliance division, with OVER TEN EMPLOYEES. That’s just one example of how bloated the payroll is at the airport, but I’m sure there are more.Report
Andre, I don’t disagree. It just would have been preferable if necessary changes had been made prior to Shirley’s exit. Handing someone a mess is not good housekeeping.
And now we learn the water department is a notch above junk status from the rating agencies. An economic downturn is not Shirley’s fault. But not being prepared is.Report
I don’t disagree with you in theory. However, the Delta lease negotiations weren’t complete until December. It would have been impossible to make changes before her term ended.
You’re pretty hard on ole Shirley. I think she thought the Feds and the state might help with the water upgrades and they obviously didn’t. The bonds are barley above junk status because the revenue to debt ratios are low. The only solution would be to increase the rates, which doesn’t need to happen.
Bottom line, she should be congratulated for risking everything to fix the water problems that had been ignored for decades.Report
I agree she deserves credit for tackling a difficult and very expensive problem. She was given a worse hand from Campbell than she has given Reed. At the big picture level, our city leadership (mayors) are getting progressively better.
But goodness knows two or more decades of neglect mean things are an almighty mess.
We’re going to have the most expensive water in the nation. If the unions don’t take a pension benefit cut, we’ll end up with even higher property taxes than the already highest in the state. The airport’s a mess. Parks are underfunded. The Beltline progress, to the extent it is happening, is pretty much being made solely from the benefit of donors.
There are days when you want to give up any hope of Atlanta having a prosperous future, and other days when you just want to stick your head in the sand. As an observer, there seem to be very few days when you get to be excited and optimistic about this city’s future. Not a fun time to be a mayor or a resident. I hope Reed relishes challenges.Report
Mayors are on the front line as far as government is concerned. I think Reed knew what he got himself into. After all, Shirley mentored him and helped his campaign and she never ran from challenges (or a fight), so hopefully he’s up to the challenge.
Atlanta is having problems like many others. Pensions are definitely at the forefront, but if the stock market returns and Reed makes some tweaks we should be fine. Parks and other such services are the first to go in a crunch, but have you seen the new park by city hall east? That thing is going to be phenomenal when it’s complete.
That city hall east park is the beltline. The next park is being built between grant park and the US penn. Hopefully, the transportation bill mayor Reed helped pass can close the loop on the transit piece of the beltline.
One point of clarification – the airport is not a mess. It is consistently ranked among the best run airports in the world. Yes it has a shortfall this year, but what government entity doesn’t? The international terminal and a possible sixth runway will set it up to be an industry leader for the next generation.
The glass is half full and filling up.Report

Statement from New Zealand First leader Winston Peters
We welcome the Electoral Commission’s referral to the police. It confirms our prior view that only the police would have the powers to determine the issues involved.
In light of the Electoral Commission’s findings today the New Zealand First Party can also confirm it will be reviewing its arrangements for party donations.
New Zealand First’s arrangements for collecting donations has been the same as other political parties. The New Zealand First Foundation is built upon the trust deed of the National Party.
However, the Electoral Commission’s statement today further underscores the importance of reviewing the donations regime. I had already advised the party last week to take this course of action and itself refer the matter to the police, which the party had agreed to do.
This does not imply any impropriety but is intended to ensure the party, as with all parties, have robust arrangements.
If the review deems it necessary for New Zealand First and all parties to develop new arrangements to receive donations the party will consult with the Electoral Commission.
This party is built on the support of loyal supporters and donors and believes it has followed the law implicitly.
I am advised that in all its dealings the Foundation sought outside legal advice and does not believe it has breached the Electoral Act.
At this stage the SFO will consider if an offence has been committed, or otherwise, and it is not appropriate to make any comment on specific detail that prejudges their investigation.


Senior Courtney Ackerman was the school’s top individual finisher, placing third with a time of 16:27. Ethan Kaplan finished first among New Trier boys, taking 53rd place overall with a time of 15:06.
The state meet races were held at Detweiller Park in Peoria, Illinois.
Expectations were high heading into Saturday’s meet, as New Trier girls’ team returned three of its five top finishers from last year’s race. Though Courtney Ackerman was able to better both her place and finishing time (she finished fourth overall with a 16:50 in 2011), sophomore Mimi Smith and senior Jessica Ackerman both finished slightly further back in the field than last year despite besting their state meet times.
Smith finished 12th Saturday with a time of 16:56 and Jessica Ackerman took 16th overall with a time of 17:00.
York Community High School won the Class 3A boys meet and Jack Keelan of St. Ignatius College Prep was the top individual with a finishing time of 14:05.
Naperville North High School won the Class 3A girls meet and Madeline Perez of Glenbard West High School was the individual winner, recording a state record time of 16:02.

On Monday morning, the broader market was trading on a positive note after President Donald Trump "indefinitely suspended" his planned tariffs on Mexico. USA officials have accused Chinese technology companies such as Huawei of stealing trade secrets and threatening cybersecurity - possibly at the behest of the ruling Communist Party.
"We should be entitled to have a fair playing field, but even without a fair playing field-because our Fed is very, very destructive to us - even without a fair playing field we are winning", he added. It's all done. They have to get approval, and they will get approval. Yet if the Trump administration's diagnosis of U.S.
"Agriculture is a significant piece of the global economy and it simply doesn't make sense to leave it out", US Senator Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the tax and trade-focused Senate Finance Committee, said in April.
What both sides do agree on is that Mexico will deploy thousands of national police to its southern border region to help enforce its own immigration laws. "He's protecting companies who are members" of the USCC.
Mr. Pompeo said the number of people affected will rise from "a couple of hundred" a day to "several thousand per day".
"The big issue with USMCA is whether or not we can count on Mexico to implement the labor reforms in particular that they have passed", Kildee explained.
"Nothing more than warmed-up leftovers", said Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat.
Trump earlier said that he expects to meet with Xi in Osaka but step up tariffs on Chinese goods if they don't meet.
Tough luck, Mr. Trump said.
In a Twitter outburst late past year, Mr Trump likewise complained about wine trade.
Trump has imposed 25 per cent tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese exports and is preparing to expand them to cover another $300 billion. -Mexico-Canada trade agreement.
"I do see it as a threat", he said Monday.
Critics say imposing tariffs is a relic of protectionist 19th century policies that disrupt markets and supply chains while imposing higher costs on USA consumers down the line.
While successful avoidance of Mexican tariffs and likely break of trade impasse at G20 pleased risk takers on Monday, recent warnings from the U.S. lawmakers to Mexico and China seem directing immediate bullion moves.
"Those companies are going to move into other locations and there won't be a tariff", he said.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said at a press conference on June 11 that he was hopeful a meeting between Trump and Xi during G20 would lead to future trade discussions.
"Though this leaves us more or less back where we started, these episodes do still have real costs for the USA", he said. China hasn't responded to Trump's latest threat, linking Xi's appearance to the new tariffs. I think he'll go, and I have a great relationship with him.

It has been a year and half since bastketball superstar and TV personality Chris Tiu welcomed his first baby daughter with wife, Clarisse Ong, to the world. Clarisse gave birth to a healthy baby girl on June 5, 2016, whom the couple named Amanda Claire Tiu. This adorable little girl has been filling up dad Chris Tiu’s Instagram feed with an abundance of cuteness!
Amanda appears to be a daddy’s girl. Chris himself admitted that he has trouble leaving the house because of his daughter. He even said he finds it difficult to concentrate at work because he always wants to come home right away. With a cute baby like Amanda, we can hardly blame Chris.
On her first birthday, Chris posted a sweet message for Amanda on his Instagram account. He wrote:
“To our little one who can turn a rough day into a beautiful one, make a happy day an even sweeter one, and give life a whole new meaning and purpose. Happy first birthday to our dearest Amanda Abu bear! May you grow up to be beautiful inside out and a faithful servant of Christ. You are our greatest blessing! We love you so much.”
Amanda is also a well-traveled baby. Her parents have taken her on numerous family vacations abroad, which the little girl enjoyed very much. Her family seems to love Canada in particular, so much so that they made several trips there with her.
Chris Tiu and Clarisse were married in a Catholic ceremony in Vancouver, Canada, in September 2013, with only the close friends and family members in attendance. Less than three years later, Clarisse became pregnant with Amanda, whom they welcomed into the world in 2016.
Tiu plays for the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters of the Philippine Basketball Association. He used to play for the Smart Gilas team whom he joined after graduating for the Ateneo de Manila University.

Woman charged with embezzling school money
By Nick Hiltunen
Published in News on March 14, 2010 1:50 AM
A Goldsboro woman who had worked as a bookkeeper at Carver Heights Elementary since the summer of 2007 is accused of embezzling funds from the school.
Bridgette Brown James, 43, of Brock Street faces one count of embezzlement, and was jailed under a $10,000 unsecured bond.
Goldsboro police did not release the amount of money that Ms. James is accused of taking.
Wayne County School spokesman Ken Derksen said that Ms. James is no longer an employee of the school system, but that he could not comment further because the situation involves a personnel matter.
Derksen said the school system terminated Ms. James' contract on Wednesday.
"I can't really speak to the detail, but the police are investigating," Derksen said.
According to police, the Wayne County school district made the initial complaint in the matter.
Ms. James has been released on an unsecured bond.

Another busy week...working on decorating a living room for a client (more on that soon), started an upholstery class at the local high school, and found some great furniture pieces at my new favorite used furniture store.
1. I needed a "practice" piece for the upholstery class this week. (so excited—I've been wanting learn how to upholster forever!) This chair should work in the guest bedroom when it's done.
2. Or course, the chair needs fabric—I bought this shower curtain from Home Goods. I think it will look great on that chair. (You get a lot of yardage for not much money with a shower curtain.)
3. Also found these incredible matching twin beds for Moussia and Zelda (when Zelda is out of her toddler bed.) I think they're called Canonball beds and they are solid cherry...very well built. I'll eventually paint them a fun color for two little girls.
4. Painted the bottom part of our coffee table legs gold for the" dipped" look. You can see the legs in the background are not yet painted and how a little bit of gold adds so much glam to a plain coffee table!
Have a great weekend and Shabbat Shalom.

The prototype of the XSH-60L made its first hover flight from the Mitsubishi factory at Nagoya (Japan) on 12 May 2021.
The Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency (ATLA) announced that the XSH-60L had cleared all its ground tests on 11 May and could perform its first flight the next day. Indeed, on Wednesday the test pilots made a successful thirty minutes hover flight with this further improved version of the SH-60K Seahawk in the red/white colours, serial 8501. After all basis flight tests are finished, both prototypes will be handed over to the ATLA for further evaluation.
The SH-60L is a further Mitsubishi development of the original SH-60J and SH-60K operating with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). At first glance there is no external difference between the SH-60K and SH-60L, all improvements are internally and related to a new sonar system, high speed communication system and improved engine transmission.
The prototype 8501 has a long history acting as a development and test aircraft. It was originally a UH-60J frame, but before delivery it was converted to XSH-60K 8401. There are pictures of it with only one starboard cabin window, later it was modified to the SH-60K standard with two starboard cabin windows. Later on it was converted to a USH-60K to act as the development aircraft for the successor of the JMSDF UH-60J fleet. However, it was decided the JMSDF would lose its land-based SAR units, this mission is/will be the responsibility of the Japan Coast Guard and the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. Now the Seahawk is acting as the SH-60L development tool.
It is believed that SH-60K deliveries will continue for the moment, possibly to number 75, after which the SH-60L will take over the production line. Of the original 103 SH-60Js delivered, less than ten are still active. SH-60K production currently stands at 71.

When it comes to business, every transaction depends on a fast, effective and reliable payments system. An early leader in payments technology, Canadaʼs financial institutions are now working to make the system even better.
In Canada, approximately $200-billion in transactions occur each day, according to Payments Canada, the not-for-profit, financial institution funded organization that oversees Canada’s payments system.
These may include everything from large-value business-to-business sales to small-value retail purchases. Some payments are still made by cheques, but more and more are online bill payments, direct deposits and wire transactions.
All of these payments are processed through a complex system that has to keep up with the latest technology and infrastructure to keep payments moving as quickly and securely as possible.
While consumers might see their payments processed immediately at the store or online, that’s just the beginning.
Banks have to keep track of every transaction meticulously and in a frictionless way, so that suppliers and service providers get their money fast and the record of who paid how much to whom is accurate.
Business transactions — whether it’s an international grain deal from Saskatchewan to India or auto manufacturing transaction between Canada and the U.S. — might involve several banks in different countries. It can take time, sometimes even several business days, for settlements to be completed.
The aim of modernization is to make payments and settlements happen as fast as possible. Once a pioneer in global payments, Canada now lags behind, according to Michael Klopchic, Head of Global Liquidity and Cash Management at HSBC Bank Canada.
In order for the country – and companies operating within – to remain competitive on the global stage, it’s important for Canada to keep up technologically, he says.
“The Canadian payments system dates back to the eighties and nineties, and at the time Canada was leading edge,” Mr. Klopchic says.
“The technology works well, but there hasn’t been a lot of new investment in the system. What we’re finding is that the world has leaped ahead, and Canada needs to catch up in accessing the technology,” he says.
Payments Canada is spearheading a modernization program that began in 2015. It aims to better reflect the way business is done in the 21st century — relying less on cash and more on faster, easier, secure transactions that can cross borders and be completed in a few hours rather than many business days.
The modernization program is on track to be completed by 2020. “Some of the early milestones have already been achieved,” Mr. Klopchic says.
For example, in the fall, the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments system added a third exchange window at 9 p.m. ET to extend the business day. Additionally, same-day settlements were added, which reduced turnaround times for payment settlements between financial institutions to two hours, giving businesses quicker access than ever to funds.
“We saw these types of faster payments take effect in the United Kingdom and in Europe, and we can leverage that experience for others around the globe,” says Drew Douglas, Regional Head of Global Liquidity and Cash Management at HSBC Bank USA, N.A.
“The challenge is moving to real time. Achieving faster payments typically means speeding up an existing technological process — you go from a few days down to a few hours,” he explains.
“With real-time, you need a different ‘rail.’ It’s not necessarily a matter of compressing the time; you actually move to a different process. This is an experience we have had in other markets and can bring to the system in Canada, and our customers, as a global bank,” Mr. Douglas says.
Modernizing the payments system is important not only for overall Canadian competitiveness but also for individual businesses as they operate within Canada and across the world.
“We have seen many companies change their business models. In the U.S., for example, some customers have moved to rely on a same-day settlement; some are moving to real time. This changes a company’s operating cycle, allowing for more efficient cash flow that brings wider business benefits,” Mr. Douglas adds.
Furthermore, in India, mobile collections are becoming more popular in the delivery of goods, with transaction being settled over their mobile phone. For small- to medium-sized enterprises, this is significant as it creates more efficient working capital, but also undermines the need for receivables to accept the funds faster.
Mr. Douglas says that a global bank has an advantage in that it needs to keep up with how payments are changing in all the markets where it operates and serves clients.
“At HSBC, we can leverage the global product team and the technology itself that connects clients to their markets,” he says.
Some European countries have moved to a completely paperless payments system, which means no cheques. This creates a faster, more reliable system that reduces the likelihood of cheque fraud.
In North America, however, it’s unlikely that cheques will be eliminated completely, he says, global trends do give decision makers a better understanding of the shifting payments landscape.
Modernizing payments offers benefits to customers of all sizes.
“It means if someone is going to pay you, they’re going to pay you more quickly. For commercial customers, whether you have to pay or whether you need to receive a payment, having access to those funds as fast as possible is a huge advantage,” Mr. Klopchic says
Until recently, a West Coast company had until 1:30 p.m. PT to ensure an EFT payment reached a customer in another time zone in Canada with no guarantee of same day settlement. Now, with the addition of third exchange window and guaranteed same-day settlement, West Coast companies have until 6 p.m. PT to submit an EFT payment, ensuring their customer receives it same day.
A more modernized payments system can create opportunities; it can improve infrastructure, increase the amount of information that can be transported and shorten the time required for reconciliations and receivables, Mr. Klopchic says.
“The payments industry is evolving and companies will need to adapt to continue to grow their business. Having a strong banking partner, along with right tools and solutions will be critical to help navigate, optimize and manage their cash flow as they continue to do business here at home or around the world”


The moment the song Din Shagna Da plays at a wedding, all the guests naturally shift their gaze to the wedding entry gate to witness the first glimpse of the bride. And we are not surprised! After all, this song has been synonymous to bridal entry in North Indian weddings for over a decade now. As soon as the DJ plays Din Shagna Da song, it means that the much-awaited moment is here and the bride is all set to put her first foot forward to the wedding venue under a breathtaking phoolon ki chaadar. Seeing the beautiful bride walking down the aisle is itself a glorious moment but when it is backed by this soul-stirring track, the feeling becomes absolutely surreal. This heart-touching concoction creates a mystical aura and elevates the spirits of everyone. *I always get goosebumps when I listen to this song*
Despite so many new Bollywood and English song options for a stellar bridal entry, brides still prefer to enter on this two-decade-old song. Understandably, the sky-high status of Din Shagna Da remains untouched.

So, here we introduce you to some of the most amazing versions of Din Shagna Da song that definitely deserve your attention.

10 misleading food product labels in Canada
Marketplace investigation reveals dubious health and nutrition claims
Posted: Feb 3, 2012 8:56 PM ET
Last Updated: Feb 3, 2012 11:11 PM ET
A number of companies tout the supposed health benefits of their food products but the claims don't resonate with nutrition and medical experts, a CBC Marketplace investigation has revealed.
Package labelling often promotes "all-natural" ingredients or the presence of valuable nutrients and minerals. Alternatively, companies often focus on the absence of preservatives and substances linked to serious illnesses and diseases.
Others suggest consumers will become smarter or healthier, including providing a nutritional or immunity boost, as a result of using the products.
Marketplace contacted a doctor who specializes in healthy eating, Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, to examine a number of claims found on the labelling of food products and created a Top 10 list of lousy labels, packaging that might have consumers shelling out cash for little or no benefit.
1. Maple Leaf Foods' Natural Selections
Maple Leaf Foods offers its Natural Selections line of deli meat products as having "no added preservatives" when in fact it contains nitrite — a preservative that may be linked to cancer according to the Canadian Cancer Society — in the form of cultured celery extract.
When asked about the packaging, the company denied that it was being misleading.
"We care deeply about the integrity of the products that we produce and the labelling is accurate," said Randy Huffman, chief product safety officer with Maple Leaf Foods.
However, this week the company informed Marketplace that it would include a reference on Natural Selections packaging to say that it does contain nitrite.
2. Danone's DanActive
Danone promotes this product as a "daily pick-me-up probiotic drink to help strengthen your natural defences." However, it found a place on Marketplace's lousy labels list for saying its claims were "scientifically proven."
The company was forced to pay a $21-million settlement in the U.S. for claiming that it prevents colds and flu without any proof.
Marketplace also learned that Danone didn't get approval from Canadian regulators to make similar claims here.
3. Carnation Breakfast Essentials
Carnation Breakfast Essentials is promoted as a healthy morning drink which is loaded with vitamins and minerals but it contains 38 grams of sugar, which warranted a third-place position on Marketplace's lousy labels list.
The company that makes the drink, Nestle, defended its product, saying it provides "a good breakfast choice with energy, protein and other nutrients for the often rushed and on-the-go consumer.”
4. Oasis Health Break CholestPrevent juice
This product contains references to its health claims all over its packaging and used to contain a line implying that drinking two glasses of juice was equivalent to eating 80 oranges or 22 kilograms of broccoli.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency recently asked the company to take that claim off its packaging.
Companies are allowed to add plant sterols to juice and make a cholesterol claim.
In a statement to Marketplace the company that makes the juice, Lassonde, said its juice is "intended for people who are concerned about their cholesterol level or have a family history of this condition."
However, to gain the required health benefits a person needs to drink two glasses every day, which works out to more than 1.5 kilograms of sugar every month.
"If you’re worried about your cholesterol, I’m not sure that taking your medicine with sugar is a wise plan," Freedhoff said.
5. McCain Pizza Pockets
McCain Foods has recently reframed its Pizza Pockets as a healthy food option, pointing to the fact they are baked instead of fried and made with "wholesome ingredients that contain no artificial colours or flavors," according to its website.
However, one Pizza Pocket contains 11 grams of fat, which is more than a Boston cream doughnut, and 470 milligrams of sodium, more than a large serving of French fries at a fast food restaurant.
When asked why it promotes Pizza Pockets as wholesome, McCain said "consumers told us they wanted food made with real ingredients that are recognizable and pronounceable."
6. Praeventia cookies from Lecher
These heart-shaped cookies from Lecher, which the company says are a tasty, nutritious snack, made it onto the Marketplace lousy labels list for touting the benefits of antioxidants, which have dubious medical benefits according to Freedhoff. And because the product name — Praeventia — implies that the cookies prevent disease.
"We run the risk of people thinking that now they can eat as many cookies as they want because here, these are healthy cookies," he said.
However, the company said Health Canada allowed the product on the market because the "information was true and not misleading."
7. Kraft Canada Inc.'s KD Smart
There is a more expensive version of the popular macaroni and cheese product that is supposedly healthier and has "no artificial flavors, colours or preservatives." The line of KD Smart products includes an omega-3 option, which Kraft promotes as a way to get the fatty acid that has been linked to brain and heart benefits.
But that last claim didn't check out with the Marketplace investigation.
"The studies on omega-3 show that there is benefit to the consumption of fish-based omega-3, but those same studies show that there’s not the same benefit with the plant-based stuff," Freedhoff said.
Accordingly, a person would have to eat approximately 177 servings of KD Smart to ingest the same amount of omega-3 found in just a single piece of fish.
Kraft said its KD Smart was "simply another way for moms to get some omega-3 into their family's diet."
8. Wonder Plus White Loaf With Fibre
The iconic bread company touts a special product line which "provides Canadian families with the taste and softness they love plus added fibre and the nutrition they need."
However, the White Loaf With Fibre product from Wonder Plus has a label that may go too far in terms of promoting its nutritional qualities, Marketplace discovered. The bread actually contains the ground-up hulls of whole oats only.
Weston Bakeries Ltd., which creates the bread, had this to say when informed it had been selected for Marketplace's lousy labels list: "Oat hull fibre adds fibre to bread. We agree … that it does not have the same nutritional benefit of whole grains."
9. Kellogg's Nutri-Grain bars
Kellogg's found a place on the Marketplace lousy labels list for its Nutri-Grain bars. The company promotes the health benefits of its cereal bars by making reference to a "golden baked crust of wheat and whole grains mixed with a variety of fillings made with real fruit" on its website.
However, each bar contains more than 12 grams of sugar, which certainly adds up if it is eaten every day. And the first ingredient, listed by weight, is regular, white flour.
When Marketplace called to ask about the Nutri-Grain products, the company simply stated that “nutrition has been the driving force behind Kellogg's since its founding in 1906."
10. Campbell's Healthy Request soup
The popular company has a special line of healthy soups that contain whole grains and vegetables, along with a label that says the product contains 25 per cent less sodium compared to other soups.
However, Campbell's Healthy Request soup uses two-thirds of the 398-millilitre container for its serving size. If a person were to eat the whole container they would ingest 750 milligrams of sodium, or more than half the daily recommended amount, Freedhoff said.
"The amount Canadians choose to eat will vary depending on their individual lifestyle and dietary needs," the company said

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, times have been more uncertain than ever for business owners, management, and HR personnel. Now that states are beginning to re-open, employees have also begun returning to the office in larger numbers.
As the COVID-19 vaccination is being distributed across the nation, many businesses are asking whether they can or should require their workforce to get the vaccine.
How will your workplace address the COVID-19 vaccine, and what are the legal issues involved with mandating vaccination before returning to work?
In response to such questions, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently issued guidance on vaccination-related issues in the workplace. Such issues implicate the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”), among other laws. Employers who are considering implementing vaccination programs should adhere to the EEOC guidance.
However, Employers should understand what the requirements are under the EEOC guidance and what factors can impact them if they are not followed. Moreover, proper communication of policies should ensure proper compliance. Employees will have many questions and the Employer needs to have the answers to ensure the employees have confidence.
Employers also have to ensure there are accommodations made for those employees who are not ready for mandatory vaccinations because of religious or disability concerns. The bottom line is that there should be some accommodations made that do not impose an undue hardship to offer those employees in these specific scenarios.
In this practical webinar, we will discuss the COVID-19 vaccination program and the advantages and disadvantages of implementing a mandatory COVID-19 vaccine program for your employees. We will be going over the following topics:

ABS results show business growing despite lack of traction
DESPITE a slight pick up in retail trade in June, difficult trading conditions for most businesses are weighing on future expectations.
New figures on retail trade from the ABS released on Monday showed trade picked up 0.6% in June, after a 0.3% in May.
Mainly on the back of a 1.7% rise in household goods and 1.4% rise in clothing footwear and personal accessories, increased retail turnover was offset by falls in cafes and restaurants of 0.6% and department stores, down 0.5%.
The figures came as the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's latest business expectation survey showed some improvements.
That data showed while business conditions across all sectors were poor but improving, the poor performance was starting to drag on confidence and expectations.
ACCI chief executive Kate Carnell said poor selling prices and "deeply depressed profitability" were undermining employment investment expectations.
"Most expectations indicators remain in positive territory, however, all of them except expected export sales have fallen in the June quarter," she said.
"The current survey readings indicate that the labour market will remain soft for some time and that the forecast transition from mining investment-led growth to broader-based economic activity remains elusive."

If you Google, ‘what is a park?’, you’d get this definition: a large public green area in a town, used for recreation. Well that’s far from the truth when you visit Underpass Park in Toronto, Ontario. It is the first park built under an overpass in the city and is considered to be one of the most extensive underpass parks in Canada.
Located beneath the overpasses of Adelaide Street, Eastern Avenue and Richmond Street, the park has transformed what was a derelict space into a multi-use area for the public to enjoy.
Construction of the site began in 2011. It was designed by Canadian planning, urban design and landscape architecture firm, Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg with The Planning Partnership. The area’s unique landscape combined with the concrete overpass has been transformed into a welcoming environment for all to enjoy. Bringing new meaning to ‘concrete jungle’, there is a jungle gym, areas to sit and even a skate park and basketball courts.
All summer long on Thursdays, there’s a Farmer’s Market which opens at 3pm. The market is expected to wrap up Oct. 19. While there, you can become part of the artwork…just look up. ‘Mirage’ is made up of mirrored octagonal stainless steel panels attached to the overpass and adds light and movement to the space.
In 2015 the 23 concrete pillars were the canvasses for more than 20 artists and have been washed in vibrant colors resulting in beautiful murals thanks to a number of organizations such as StreetARToronto, Mural Routes and the Corktown Residents and Business Association.. The works depict the diversity of the city.
Canadian Street Artist Labrona created ‘human pillars’ out of the concrete ones. They are holding up the city above reminding us all that people are the critical pillars in any city.
If you find yourself in Corktown, take some time to enjoy the graffiti art as you pass through Underpass Park.

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –
ESPN is reporting that the Cleveland Browns have decided to reboot their coach search after leaving Arizona late Sunday morning without landing Oregon’s Chip Kelly, citing league sources. The team apparently was unsure about whether or not Kelly was 100% committed to a run in the NFL.
WIP radio in Philadelphia reported on Saturday that the Eagles were nearing a five year deal with Kelly. On Friday night the NFL.com reported Kelly was nearing a deal with the Browns. Buffalo did interview Kelly on Friday night, but they appear to be out of the picture.
Another candidate for the Browns, Doug Marrone, was snatched up by Buffalo Sunday. They’ll have to look through their other options.
The team has already interviewed Arizona defensive coordinator Ray Horton and former Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt. Former Chicago coach Lovie Smith is an option. There are also some offensive coordinators to consider; Bruce Arians of Indianapolis, Denver’s Mike McCoy, San Francisco’s Greg Roman and Cincinnati’s Jay Gruden.

Vester Flanagan II, who used the on-air name Bryce Williams, has been identified as the shooter in a horrific incident that occurred early this morning on live TV.
Williams reportedly shot both reporter Alison Parker, 24, and her cameraman Adam Ward, 27, during a live interview on Virginia’s WDBJ morning show. Wiliams later posted a video of the shooting to his social media pages and sent a 23-page fax to ABC News defending his actions.
Flanagan shot himself while he was being chased by state police and died later at a hospital.
Williams has been described a disgruntled former employee of the station who claimed to have faced both racial and sexual harassment while working for WDBJ in Roanoke, Virginia. The general manger of the station said that Williams had a reputation as “being difficult to work with” and was fired because of his anger problems. Williams worked at the station from April 2012 until September 2013.
In his 23-page rambling document, Williams explained, “What sent me over the top was the church shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them, but my anger has been building steadily…I’ve been a human powder keg for a while…just waiting to go BOOM!!!!” He also addressed the Charleston shooter directly, writing, “As for Dylann Roof? You want a race war (expletive)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE (expletive)!!!”
Williams went on to say this about the Columbine and Virginia Tech shooters: “Also, I was influenced by Seung-Hui Cho. That’s my boy right there. He got NEARLY double the amount that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold got…just sayin.”
In a suicide note to family and friends, Williams said he suffered racial discrimination, sexual harassment and was attacked for being a gay black man.
Williams had reportedly been fired from Florida station WTWC TV, for “bizarre behavior and threatening employees” back in 2000.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

Once Labor Day passed, it used to be the official end of childhood summer. It signaled pack the summer clothes away, think about school supplies. Who would be in my class, what had my friends done over the summer? From my birth until I was sixteen I spent each summer at my grandfather’s home in Miller Place, on the north shore of Long Island in New York. My mother, sisters and I were there the entire summer; my dad drove out from our winter home and his office job to spend each weekend with us. Miller Place was a time of glorious innocence and freedom. So much so that I wrote my first book about it, Thinking of Miller Place: A Memoir of Summer Comfort.
Soothing Summer Memories
This memoir is filled with reflections on my childhood summers in an idyllic town. My grandfather’s house was almost like a character itself – a big white house on a hill with a huge screened-in porch that was the hub of the house. Breakfasts, lunches, and dinners were eaten at the big old oak table. Most days were spent on the beach swimming in the salty Long Island Sound and diving off the rocks. On rainy summer days the wooden shades on the porch were pulled down against the gentle rain, lamps turned on for card games of Canasta and I Doubt It or 1000-piece puzzles.
Carefree summers at Miller Place in the 1950’s sustained my twin sister and me through the inevitable clumsiness of adolescence and informed the beliefs and values that serve me today.
Even during summers when Miller Place was a memory, the end of summer has signaled similar thoughts. During my years of teaching, late August began getting ready for the end of summer. What had my colleagues done over the summer? Who would be in my class?
When I moved to Arizona in 2009, the line between summer and autumn became blurred. I was retired from teaching in school, but still teaching writing workshops. Mother Nature was capricious in her moods of hot hot days or a tease of a breeze in September. But there was still a hint of the laziness that came with summer; part-time hours of my choosing at summer workshops or writing in my office or with my writing group.
I’m not alone in these thoughts of remembering summer as a soothing memory retreat:
Yes, in summer we all live in the dreamy palace. ~ Mary Oliver
Then followed that beautiful season… Summer…. Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Summer afternoon, summer afternoon… the two most beautiful words in the English language. ~ Henry James
Summer with COVID
Summer 2020 is still too fresh, too raw, too … different to fall into a category of memories that soothe. What is this COVID thing? A wildfire in our mountains? The pressure cooker of social injustice passing the boiling point? Yes, there were some snippets of serenity: being on my patio at sunrise when the light is still early morning white, and the sky not yet blue, and the feeling of “it is all right” comes over me. But…I have not practiced “going there” as I have going back to Miller Place.
A Book Can Comfort
So when I need that memory retreat, I pick up my book and read Thinking of Miller Place: A Memoir of Summer Comfort. “In my memory I am resting in a hammock between a childhood that was and the reality of today. In it, I am in a place where I can still, if only in my daydreams, take off my shoes and run barefoot up the hill.”
What is a summer memory that soothes you?

Premises Liability Attorneys in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California
Every year, many people within California and the United States are injured due to the negligence of property owners who do not keep their premises properly maintained and free from hazards. Although some of these injuries are relatively minor, thousands of people are seriously injured, permanently disabled or even killed due to accidents on public, private and government-owned property.
These types of incidents include slip and fall accidents on wet, icy or uneven walkways, sidewalks, driveways, stairways and floors; drowning in public or private swimming pools and hot tubs; dog bites and other animal bites or attacks; electrocution from faulty electrical wiring; illness from toxic mold and other ventilation problems; and other death or injury from fires and smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide poisoning due to malfunctioning smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
In addition to accidents on private property, many injuries occur in places that are considered public. Public places where injuries occur every day include shopping centers, grocery stores, elevators, escalators, amusement parks, stadiums, bars and nightclubs, community swimming pools, parks and schools, as well as government and other public buildings.
Other types of personal injury can occur when someone is a victim of a crime committed on public or private property. Victims of violent crime committed on public or private property may be able to sue for damages due to a legal principle known as negligent security. Property owners have a responsibility to keep their premises safe from foreseeable risks, and this has been found to often time include violent crime. For example, owners of buildings or properties that exist in high-crime areas might reasonably be expected to provide adequate safety lighting of dark alleys and parking lots, security cameras, reinforced locks and gates, or security guards or other security measures as necessary to keep the public safe.
Visitor status is another important factor when considering a property owner’s liability in personal injury cases. A court will impose liability on a property owner if the owner owed the injured party a “duty of care,” and if that duty of care was breached. This duty of care depends on the relationship between the person owning or possessing the property and the injured party. These relationships fall into three areas: invitee, licensee and trespasser. An example of an invitee is a shopper in a grocery store or a diner at a restaurant; in other words, someone invitee by the property owner to conduct business on their premises. A licensee would be a personal guest at a social event at someone’s home. And a trespasser, as the name suggests, is someone who is not expressly invited onto the landowner’s property. It might be assumed that a property owner would bear no responsibility if a trespasser is injured on the landowner’s property, but there are cases in which a property owner has been found to be liable for injuries sustained by a trespasser, even during the commission of a crime.
Property owners, homeowners, landlords, government agencies and other landowners have a moral and legal responsibility to keep their facilities and property reasonably free from unsafe conditions that could cause injury or death to people, and to notify the public when known dangers are present.
California law holds property owners liable to an injured party for damages due to injury or death that may occur due to negligence or unsafe conditions on landowner’s property. Landowners, government agencies, corporations and their insurance companies fiercely defend themselves against liability. This is why it is critically important that if you or a loved one have been injured or killed due to the negligence caused on another’s property to immediately seek out the advice and counsel of an experienced premises liability attorney to discuss your rights. These lawsuits are often problematic and difficult because there are often multiple defendants, businesses, agencies and insurers involved. Further, it can be complicated to establish the level of responsibility of each involved party. There are also statutes of limitation that apply to premise liability cases, so time is a critical factor when filing these cases for litigation.
At Hakimfar Law, our experienced Premises Liability and Negligent Security Attorneys are here to help you recover what you are entitled to when you or a family member have been injured due to someone’s negligence. We work on a contingency basis for personal injury cases, which means that there is no fee unless we recover damages on behalf of the plaintiff.
