Hi, I'm new to the board but was very happy to find it. I recently purchased my second OES from the same breeder that I got my first years ago, who is no longer with me.
The puppy is a healthy 7.5 week old female from a litter of 9. She had her needles and dewroming on Wednesday evening, I picked her up from the breeder Thursday morning. She had breakfast with her littermates Thursday am around 7:30 and hasn't eaten since. I know it is common for pups to be off their food for maybe a day or a day and a half, but it's Saturday afternoon now and I'm really worried about it. I have found very little information, most websites and books say the pup will eat in a day or so, and that canned food shouldn't be added to entice her because it can create a picky eater. I'm considering adding canned food anyway just to get her to eat, though I am worried that she won't eat her proper food if I do, or that it will cause diarreah. I am feeding her the same thing the breeder was, eukanuba large breed puppy. I have been trying to get a hold of the breeder with no luck so if anyone ahs any advice I would appreciate it. If anyone wants to email me or contact me through instant messaging my msn is email@example.com and my icq number is 155631975.
Thank you.
Congrats on your new pup!
When I picked up my puppy my breeder recommended putting a couple table spoons of cottage cheese on top of his food. Worked like a charm! I wouldn't worry about thinking they will become used to this as 7.5 weeks is still fairly young. I picked up Merlin at 8 wks and didn't have a problem weaning him off the cottage cheese so that he only eats kibbles soley now.
Perhaps try that? I also suspect the little one is pining for her mom and litter mates..new surroundings..must be tough on these little guys.
Good luck and please keep us posted as to how it's going. Oh lastly - welcome to this board!
|Thanks for your reply... I did try it, and she wasn't interested at all. I tried canned meat, and she seemed interested and ate a little, but only a few mouthfuls, I'd say maybe 1/4 cups at most. That was yesterday, and today I put canned meat in her food again this morning and she still only ate a few mouthfuls. Any other pup I've raised has eaten voraciously at this age. Most pups eat at least a cup at a time, 3 or 4 times a day, so I'm still very concerned that she is not getting nearly enough. I did get a hold of the breeder and she suggested canned meat or cottage cheese as well. She is still pooping, normal stools, and drinking water etc, so the breeder said not to worry too much, but I wish I knew a way to get her to eat more...
|Hey there,
In talking with my hubby about your pup, he reminded me that we once had a teacup yorkie who refused to eat. He said that our Vet told us to buy baby food... thinks it was turkey and chcken flavor. Said to mix it with dog food. Or, worst case, put some in his water.
Keep us posted aobut your sweet baby.
|hello again.... my girl Dancer is starting to eat a little more, but still not nearly enough. The canned food made her stools too loose, so I stopped putting that in, and I didn't try the babyfood because I was afraid of the same result. She's still on eukanuba large breed puppy, but I am gradually going to mix in Iams normal puppy food in till it's half and half because it has higher caloric content per cup. She is only eating about 1 cup in total per day. Plus the Iams is smaller peices than eukanuba, which I think is odd since it's made by iams as well, but anyway... if the peices are smaller I'm hoping she will eat more of it.
|Willowsprite, i dont know if you can get it where you are, but we use a food called Salters pet food. Do a search on the net for it.
Our girl eats it like it is going out of fashion and she is thriving on it.
Our breeder recommends nothing but Salters, and i have to agree with her, it is very good stuff, tasty (yes i have tried it ) when i was a little drunk one night. The best thing is it is only made from top quality human grade food and it can be served hot, which my OES loves.
Give it a go if you can..
I just found this for more info
|I don't think that kind of food can be found in canada, but thanks for the suggestion. She is doing a little better, eating about 2 cups a day now, still not enough for a 9 week old pup, but she seem healthy. I have been making her food 1 cup eukanuba large breed and 1/2 cup iams puppy. She loves the iams puppy so i will be phasing out the eukanuba slowly. At 50 dollars a bag it is certainly going to be used up! LOL Every dog i have had has done very well on iams foods, so i think this is the best way to go. Apparently the eukanuba is a slightly higher quality from iams, with a much higher price, but it has virtually no odor, so I'm guessing not much flavor. Iams is still a great quality food, and she likes it, so i think that is more important. I'm just free feeding her now, the separated meal times simply did not work for her, she just can't seem to hold too much at once.
|I kind of think your puppy is quite small (in age) to eat dog food alone...have you tried to wet it a bit? so it`s not so hard and more digestable...I did that to Pisco at first and he ate very well and gradually mixed his wet food with some not wet ones until finally he just got his unwetted one.
|She's ten weeks on tuesday... and the breeder has never used canned food if that's what you mean... most breeders don't that I know of. I do put hot water on her food to soften it up if that's what you mean. She also has dry kibble which she prefers, but I still water down her meals.
|yes that is exactly what I mean...some water on her meals to soften it up.
can food ...I don`t know...Pisco got a runny stomach every time I gave him canned food...so I don`t give any to him.
|Boil some chicken livers and add it to your food. Just plain boiled chicken or broth helps too.
Abbi will eat anything I put fish oil on.
If the pup is 10 weeks old and gaining weight, maybe it doesn't need to eat too much?
Anytime you introduce a new food the stools can become loose. Just let them eat a little of the new stuff every meal until their stomach adapts.
From what I have been told, baby food doesn't affect their stomachs as bad as canned dog food. Canned dog food has a lot of grain in it, baby food doesn't.
You might want to weigh the pup every week and make sure it is thriving before you worry too much about its appetite.
I had the same problem with our Bam-Bam when we first got him. Still to this day he is not a big eater. He hears me preparing his meal and runs for the door to go outside. He is the first dog I have ever had that just does not care about eating at all. Now at 4 years old he averages maybe 2 to 3 cups a day. Our vet says he is healthy and lean, due to their large bone structure it was good he was not a big eater during his growing period. He now weighs between 84 and 86 pounds. So maybe your baby is going to be one of those, who is just not a big eater. There are no worse off for it and maybe healthier. When Bam-Bam has stomach upsets, I add a tab. of plain yogurt to his dry food. Corrects anything that maybe going on with him and seems to make him feel better quickly.
Good Luck to You...............
|well, I finally got a hold of the breeder again and have talked to a vet, because Dancer is still not eating much, and although she is close to 14 lbs now (a 3.5 lb weight gain in approx 3 weeks) she is too thin. Her spine is starting to stick out too much, and I can feel her ribs. The vet didn't have anything to suggest that I haven't already tried, and in fact seemed to know less than myself. None of the other puppies in the litter are having this problem, they are all eating about twice as much as my girl. I am at a loss, I'm so worried about her. I tried baby food, no interest, canned food, 3 different kinds, everything.... the only thing she shows interest in is cat food, which I found out because she quite eagerly tries to take food from my cat. There is a baby gate separating her from the room where the cat's food and litter box is in though. Do any of you know if it would harm her to put some stinky canned cat food in with her kibble watered down? I know that there are certain nutrients in cat food that cannot be found in dog food, such as higher levels of taurine, but would it harm her? I don't exactly trust my vet at this point.... and will be looking for a new one, since my vet basically just shrugged his shoulders and didn't seem to care about Dancer at all.
|Pisco has always been a picky eater ...and eats less than what everybody tells me he should including the instructions on the back of his food bag....I realized two things : he hates to eat alone (he just won`t eat unless he has company!) and I always have to add some yummy thing to his food...chicken, broth, ham, even just rice!)
Cat food I don`t have a clue since I never tried it with Pisco...but here they sell what is called soup bones ...I usually cook one or two in boiling water with some salt and give the meat in little pieces and then give him the bone....with the broth I mix it with his food.....
|Our dogs have cheerfully helped themselves to our cat's food - whenever they could get to it. It doesn't seem to bother the dogs at all. When I asked the dog's doctor about it, she said that cat food typically has a higher meat content than dog food and could cause the dog to gain weight (hmmmm....maybe not a bad idea in this case). Other than that, she didn't believe that it would cause any problems.
Our various dogs have been trying (and occasionally being successful) at getting the cats food over the past 16 years, and we haven't seen any problems with it to date.
|When I was feeding Abbi home cooked meals because of an autoimmune response last year, I found that canned salmon and herring were a cheap source of protein. I started with a can of herring, can of peas, and a cup of white rice and a cup of brown rice. Abbi did not digest the brown rice very well. And with some of the fish her stools got rather loose. Seemed peas, pumkin, cooked carrots, white rice or mashed potatoes with the canned fish worked out very well. I also used boiled chicken, which she enjoyed even more.
But then we went on vacation and I switched her to Nutro and she did so well I just left her eating that.
I mention this because as far as I know, the fish did not harm Abbi any and she loved it. So I guess cat food would also be ok. It does have higher levels of taurine in it and does cause some dogs to have very loose stools. But you would have to try it to find out. I would suggest just small amounts at first. It is what I had to do when I was switching Abbi around; otherwise she would get VERY loose stools.
|I asked my Vet about fish (Pisco loves fish in all cooked ways) and he said it`s ok to give it to dogs since it has omega 3and 6 witch is great to regulate their colesterol and it makes the hair look great.
I give Pisco a can of tuna once a week and once every 15 days he gets a steamed fish fillet all to himself (except the bones and thorns)
|Steamed fish with just a bit of dill and lemon juice.
I am so coming down to Peru for supper Friday !
And I could enjoy a nice cup of chamomile tea and maybe some dulce de leche helados with one of those meringe torts!
I loved steamed or broiled fish! I broiled up catfish the other night and even Abbi had some ---and did she love it.
|You are very welcome to supper....but I don`t know if Pisco will share his ...but don`t worry plenty for all....
by the way when I was living in Florida I found Dulce de leche in the supermarket ... you can make your own dulce de leche at home....by the way it`s not hard but tricky...
grab a can or 2 of evaporated milk boil it for 1 1/2 hrs....but be carefull NOT to have your kids or Abbi in the kitchen because sometimes if you keep them for longer they can explode...it`s not harmfull- except for your kitchen- having dulce de leche all over...but just be on the safe side.....it doesn`t taste quiet exactly as the real one but very aprox.....
or if you find in the supermarket something called Manjar Blanco ..it`s the same stuff......
Well, putting a little tiny bit of stinky cat food in with her watered down kibble seems to be helping. She is eating a little more than 2 cups a day now, and although I think her tummy has shrunk too much to eat more than half a cup at a time, she is eating more and more at a time each meal, and I leave the rest down for her to finish through out the day. The cat food is much higher in protein and fat as well, so the higher protein means she is not getting loose stools, and the higher fat is just what she needs right now. Once she is eating normally and putting on weight I will gradually remove the cat food, although even now it is only about a teaspoon per meal. YAY!
I have a roll of ilm to take in so as soon as I have some new pics I'll post one or two.
|so glad she`s eating more....
Pisco now is on a non-eating diet...he just WONT (but he`s putting on some weight!) I asked my vet about it and he told me that due to the heat (summer here) he probably isn`t feeling hungry but not to worry too much dogs are sometimes like that...he will start eating again when he feels more hungry and less hot.
|I posted a rather long post under the subject 'my puppy ate a pencil' which was a topic I started this morning. Anyway, it has info regarding this thread too if anyone is interested. It's too long to retype right now....lol
|I read it. Not sure how much help I was, but I hop eyou pup is doing wel and decides to eat more dog food and less pencils.
There was a post on the list about 4 or 5 years ago about a OES that ate a ring ... at the time it was very serious because the furry bundle almost choked to death and had to have emergency care and lots of attention to survive.
But our little four legged counter surfers sure can get into a lot of trouble because of what the decide to chew and eat.
I hope yours suffers no harm from the incident. I know Abbi has chewed on a few pencils,pens, and this morning it was the newspaper. That is a funny story ... as I instigated the whole thing by trying to teach her to retrieve the newspaper for me ... it is raining down here again. sigh! And she decided the plastic bag was a good chew, along with the paper. Had to fight for it. Guess she was having fun, but the paper is a bit worse for it. Gotta watch em all the time I guess.
|Well, after my girl had her second set of shots on Saturday, she once again went to eating virtually nothing.... I now wonder if that isn't what set her off her food in the first place, since the day I brought her home was only about 12 hours from the time she had her first set of vaccinations. Anyway, more worrying, and trying different things over the weekend, and I now have about 8 different kinds of canned food in my house from all the different kinds I have bought just to see if it would entice her to eat. And then guess what? I opened a can of Iams dog food, the only kind I hadn't tried yet, and as soon as I opened it she perked up and was sniffing the air. It didn't seem to have a strong odour to me, but I put about a tablespoon of it in her dry kibble, mixed it in really well, and while I was mixing it she started whining at me and wiggling her little fuzzy butt getting all excited. I was a little confused, thinking this must be someone else's puppy...lol.. I put the bowl down and she inhaled it. She ate every single morsel, licked the bowl clean, and wanted more. I was so happy, and shocked! What a difference! I didn't give her more though, because a cup of dry kibble in one sitting is more than I've ever seen her eat and I didn't want her to throw up. This was last night by the way. This morning, she woke me up to let me know she needed to go outside, 7am same as every morning,went outside and did her thing, and then went and sat in front of the cupboard where the canned food is. So I again mixed about a tablespoon in with her dry kibble, this time about a cup and a half, and again, she eagerly devoured it. So, YAY Iams! LOL She has only been showing a vague interest in 2 of her meals, but since she is eating this stuff I'm going to get her back on 3 meals, if she'll eat it. I feel so much better, and I think she does too
|im having the same problem with my 2 month old pitbulls they dont want to eat anything. if u find a awnser to this please send me a messege to email@example.com [/b]
|Sorry to hear about your pups... if they are only 2 months old they should still be having food watered down... did you get the same type of food they were on where you got the from? How long have you had them?
|hi, i brought my new jack russell two days ago too. it is 9 weeks old and will get his next vaccination in 3 weeks. however, i also have another female jack russell whihc is nearly five. the shop recommended the pup to eat a type of puppy food whihc is designed for them called 'innova'. It is dried food and in a sort of triangular shape and quite small. Our new pup started eating our old dog's food which is different to pup food, and it just won't eat the pup food, it won't even give it taste. There shouldn't be anything wron with it, but...my old dog wants to eat it and kinda likes it too.....fascinating...i'm REALLY concerned about what i could do to make my dog eat it's pup food cause it isn't digesting very well, like a minute ago it vomited some dog food, and ate its own poop....YUK...PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
|First of all I would suggest you feed each dog in separate rooms or in crates. Also, you could just switch both dogs over to puppy food.

Innova is a GREAT food. One of the best out there, made by Natura Pet (www.naturapet.com).
Did you get your pup from a pet shop?? Those dogs come from puppy mills where dogs are abused, brutally killed and have no food or water.
|Yes i got my dog from the same shop i got my first one from-Pet Paradise in chatswood...thanks to both of you for your suggestions, if anyone else has suggestions please tell me,,thank you very much.
I have read these comments and have a .9 lb. pomeranian with the same issues.
It floors me that you called the vet and they did not tell you more. First of all he/she should have recommended Nutri-Cal. This is a supplement that comes in a tube and they seem to love it. Second, due to the size of my little guy I have to force feed him (or he will get hypoglycemic) with a syringe or put the food on your finger or something and put in mouth. Don't give too much too fast. This little guy has to be force feed every 6 hours. The first week he was home he gobbled up chicken. Now I am having to mix molasses with chicken and rice baby food and AD with baby applesauce and honey. AD may be purchased from a vet and has all the nutrients they need as well.
The Nutri-Cal can be obtained at petstores and your vet. This also is HIGHLY recommended for the nutrients in between feedings. Hope this helps.
|.9 lb!!! wow, that's tiny. and this post is ancient. guess we all get to see how willowsprite got started
|Hi there, 1 of our 2 puppies (Shih-Tzu) is having the same problem, nearly not eating at all. We've tried already all kinds of dry food but without much result. So when looking around for people having the same experiences, I've stubmled on this forum. There's some great contributions we're surely gonna try out (thanks a lot!). When reading the "succes story" abut Iams, I've went looking whether there selling this kind of food here in Belgium. First thing I stumbled upon was the fact that Iams seems not to take care a lot about dogs in general. According to quite some articles, they're funding lab experiments on hundreds of animals that caused kidney failure, obesity, malnutrition, liver damage, severe allergic reactions... (the list goes on). Though maybe it could be a success story in some cases, I'd rather try something else instead...
Read the article on:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q= ... ting&meta=
or Google for: iams animal testing.
Hope this does bring some people to other ideas.
|I had the same problem and my puppy was diagnosed with Giardia. Pay for the more expensive test at the Vet. It was worth it. She was not eating for a week (10 weeks old) and getting very skinny. Not interested in or motivated by food. Vet says eating may have made her nauseaus. Good luck and get it checked!
|My 2 month old chihuahua terrier puppy barely eats, she was eating fine until her shots last saturday, then she went almost 24 hours without eating and began turning her nose up to the purina puppy chow. So, i switched her upon an emergency vets advice to eukanuba small breed puppy . She ate it the first serving, then slowly but surely has regressed. I started adding a small amount of chicken broth, and unless she has gone SEVERAL hours without eating she wont touch it, and i have to start off by putting it in her mouth. I am extremely frustrated and stressed. I dont understand what happened to my little girl(cherry is her name) she was such a good eater before the shots, and i dont even know if the two have anything to do with eachother. Or its coincidental. The vet gave her a clean bill of health, so is she just being stubborn?
|for anybody else wondering about this. My 8 week old GSD would refuse to eat for a day and a half, maybe two. I called my vet because he started to lose weight due to his high activity level. My vet told me that as long as he was using the bathroom, you shouldnt be too worried. She also told me that his stomach might be bothering him and she recommended a plain boiled chicken( no seasoning whatsoever). He ate it up in no time. To get him back on his diet is slowly added his puppy food in. Also if you have another dog or a friend/neighbor does, try feeding them at the same time. Sometimes they just need a little competition like when they were younger. Hope this helps
|you might want to consider switching her onto a higher quality kibble as this is the most important development stage in her life. If you prefer the natura products try switching to innova puppy, or innova large breed puppy. It has no fillers and has the proper supplements as needed but still has high quality protiens instead of by-product: chicken and turkey listed as the first few items in the ingredient list. You want to stay away from corn and soy or artificial colors
for a large breed puppy you want about 24% protien, 12% fat and 1.2% calcium as too much of these can cause stress to the joints as they grow "too quickly". I actually like the innova lrg breed puppy as it is the only puppy food with *lower calories per cup* so if they do over eat, they dont get too much.
Hope she starts eating soon, just make sure she stays hydrated

A former Securities and Exchange Commission official said greater disclosure of investment banks' highest-paid employees — aside from corporate officers — would not necessarily aid shareholders.
Lynn Turner, who was the SEC's chief accountant from 1998 to 2001, said knowing top employees' compensation packages is not as important as knowing how much risk they are taking on and what companies are doing to mitigate those risks.
"People in America get way too carried away with wanting to know what everyone else's salaries are," Turner said.
Disclosure that Richard Fuld, who was chief executive of Lehman, earned $40 million in compensation in 2007 didn't "give you what was most important with respect to what was going on with that company," Turner said.
The documents offered a rare peek into the enormous pay that was routinely ladled out to traders, investment bankers and others in the boom that proceeded the financial crisis.

Metro Council President Tom Hughes didn't need say much to convince Portland City Council to cast the key votes for his long-desired $198 million Oregon Convention Center hotel. All five commissioners had tipped their hands well before the Wednesday vote.
Yet when Hughes presented the plan at City Hall, he made a bold claim: The Hyatt-run hotel at the convention center would succeed, because Hyatts don't fail.

Santa Barbara-based nonprofit the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation was selected as one of 25 charities nationwide vying for donations ranging from $125,000 to $1 million through the American Giving Awards, presented by Chase.
Voting will take place on Facebook starting Tuesday through Dec. 4. The results, along with features on all 25 participating charities, will be announced during the American Giving Awards program airing nationwide on NBC on Dec. 8.
The GSF is dedicated to increasing global awareness of spinal muscular atrophy, the No. 1 genetic killer of young children, accelerating research focused on ending this cruel disease, and supporting families impacted by SMA and other life-altering conditions. The GSF plans to use donations received from Chase to grant life-changing Apple iPads to those with severe disabilities through its Project Mariposa technology grant program.
"We're unbelievably honored to have been selected by Chase for the American Giving Awards," said Bill Strong, co-founder of the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation. "This is an incredible opportunity for us to raise further awareness of SMA on a broad, national platform and hopefully be a recipient of a large donation from Chase to help us change the lives of those in extremely challenging circumstances, like SMA."
The iPad is an incredible device for those with severe disabilities assisting with education, independence, and in some cases empowering people to communicate — literally speak — for the first time in their lives. To date, the GSF has granted 100 iPads to those with SMA through its Project Mariposa technology grant program.
"For the typical person an iPad is a nice-to-have luxury item but for people with severe disabilities this $500 device literally changes their life and opens their world," Strong said. "Through our Project Mariposa grant program we've seen firsthand the enormous need and positive impact an iPad has on people with conditions like SMA and we're excited about significantly expanding that program with funds received from Chase!"

Feels Like:
I'm not the celebrity junkie I once was, though I do sneak a peek at People magazine in the doctor's office. I'm still amazed at the hypnotic effect of Hollywood stars decked out in designer gowns or slumming with their kids. I flip through the pages in a trance.But, now, I feel kind of seedy -- not to mention old and fat -- when I put the magazine down. My fascination is tinged with shame. On some level, I know I am responsible for the grand illusion that is celebrity in this country.When you see "stars" fall from the sky, the charade becomes painfully clear. The people we've placed on pedestals are mere mortals, after all. They feel. They hurt.I don't want to draw any more attention to the star who's asked to be left alone by the media as he tries to heal from his physical and psychic wounds. But the impact of a suicide attempt may be the shock I need to permanently avert my eyes from Hollywood happenings. There are healthier, less voyeuristic pleasures that don't support the soul-sucking life of stardom.As a final note, let me say I'm glad he didn't have a gun -- or, at least, didn't use one. I'm glad he's still with us and I suspect he is, too. A gun would have meant a different -- and probably permanent -- end to the story. Full Post »

I'm writing an article about children and guns for a magazine.It's been rough going. Not because of lack of resources or motivation, but because the topic gets me right in the solar plexus.I have an emotional storehouse there. It includes the video of Seung-Hui Cho ranting before his rampage at Virginia Tech. It includes memories of watching the horror unfold at Columbine. It includes news of a friend's suicide. It includes all the stories I've ever read about children killing with and being killed by guns. And it includes the veiled threats and insults of gun rights advocates who rebutted my anti-gun essay.I've been traumatized simply by living in our violent world.I hate that I've developed something akin to a fear response when it comes to this issue. It muddles my mind and gets in the way of action.Maybe that's why I'm so impressed with the growing movement started by Abby Spangler at Protest Easy Guns. Thanks to this grassroots effort, groups of 32 people all over the country are lying down -- wearing orange and maroon ribbons -- to protest easy access to guns.Why 32? In memory of the victims who died at Virginia Tech and because about 32 people die from gun violence every day in our country.Groups of 32 are cropping up everywhere. Today alone, protests are being held in Raleigh, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Richmond (CA), Springfield (IL), Portland (ME), and Seattle.So far, none have been planned for Indiana. Our state doesn't even have a chapter of the Million Mom March. Silence speaks volumes.So, I'm spreading the word about Protest Easy Guns. It's only a small contribution, compared to what others are doing today.But it's a start. Full Post »

We arrived at the soccer field just in time.Just in time to get drenched, that is. We showed up at 11:30 for the team picture before the noon game. Dark clouds barreled in. By 11:40, the heavens had opened. Rain poured down.We raced back to the parking lot with a throng of parents and kids, and huddled, shivering, in the van. Every 10 minutes or so, I'd pop up the umbrella and stumble over to the snack shack to see whether the Ref had come to his senses and canceled the noon games.No such luck.And, sure enough, a few minutes after 12, the downpour began to ease up. We sloshed back through the moat and staked out our spots on the sidelines.As I watched the kids in light blue hustle over to the other side, my heart swelled. I think we lost one kid because of the weather. But most of our team hung in there through the storm. And it was worth it.Our group of boys -- a new U10 team -- played like they'd been playing together forever. We dominated the ball. It didn't hurt that the other team was short a few players. But still.Final score was 5-1, with 3 of those goals scored by the Taylor twins. After the game, our wet clothes couldn't dampen our spirits. The sun came out a few hours early for the boys in blue. It was a lovely sight. Full Post »

I submitted my first essay to the J & C more than 2 years ago. Soon after, I sent a follow-up email to then Opinions Page Editor, Dave Bangert, asking him to change the name on my essay from Amy Taylor to Amy Stuart Taylor.I liked the idea of using my middle name, which was my grandfather's first name. As a child, I hated having a boy's middle name but – when I got married – I didn't want to let it go. So, I dropped my maiden name and held on to Stuart.But my main reason for the email to Dave was that I knew I wasn't the only Amy Taylor out there. I hoped a three-part nom de plume would set me apart.All this matters because another local Amy Taylor wrote a Letter to the Editor last week, taking a stand against pulling over for funeral processions.People thought I had written the letter.I defended myself when someone confronted me and told me she disagreed, but I'm sure a false impression was left with others. Consequently, I feel guilty for writing something rather irreverent that probably offended some of my older friends – even though I really didn't!I think it's another part of this life lesson I seem to be learning the slow and painful way. I have to face that I have absolutely zero control over other people and circumstances. Even if I get it right -- which is rare enough -- there is no guarantee that I won't find myself in a mortifying muddle.I wish I could laugh more often at such ridiculous scenarios, but it's not easy. I guess I should thank the other Amy Taylor for keeping me on my toes.But, since I can't yet seem to relinquish all control, allow me to make a couple of final clarifications. I'm Amy Stuart Taylor from West Lafayette. And I don't mind stepping aside for funeral processions to show respect.Also, I won't be writing any more Letters to the Editor, for an unrelated reason. So, any letters signed Amy Taylor will not be written by me.Just in case you wondered. Full Post »

Parenting is the most important work many of us will do -- and the toughest. But parenting has more shades of gray than a 96-count box of crayons. A new school year means a mountain of anxiety.When do you intervene? When do you let your child fall on his face, knowing he has to learn to pick himself up? When do you speak up? And when do you keep your mouth shut?If your children are little, you may want to stop reading right now.For the brave souls who are still reading, here's the truth I'm facing: It doesn't get any easier.Okay, in some ways it does. Physically, parenting has gotten less demanding. But psychologically -- nah, it doesn't. If anything, worries about children grow with their bodies. Turning the boys loose in the world means the fear factor gets ratcheted up. I can't control what happens out of my sight. I hate that. Right now, my physiological alarm bells are going off and I have to decide whether to ignore them or leap into action. Regardless, I must try and believe in the good within my child, within other people, and billowing over the world like a banner of hope – even when I see only rain and pain. No, it's not easy. And the answers are never clear cut.What I do know is that my anxiety fuels my children's. Once in a great while, I can access an island of calm within where the storms can't reach me. That's a place I need to find more often.Then, I can show my children how to get there. Full Post »

I was pleased to see the article about peer mentoring at Happy Hollow in yesterday's paper. It's good to see educators focusing on relationships.In graduate school, I was struck by Nel Noddings' book, The Challenge to Care in Schools. Noddings recognized that learning can't take place without caring relationships.Research on asset building and resilience tells us the same -- the best predictor of a child's success is having several people besides parents who care about him or her. Teachers, coaches, and other youth leaders are well-positioned to be these people.Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out that way. Teachers are under enormous pressure to get students to perform on tests. The kids who most need a caring relationship are often the ones who don't come to school well-prepared. I've seen far too many hateful interactions between teachers and young children. When children don't meet expectations, we tend to blame the child rather than questioning whether the expectations were appropriate in the first place.On the other hand, a caring teacher can turn things around for a student on the brink. My children have been lucky to have several caring teachers -- and coaches and youth leaders -- to guide them in learning, and life. I'm grateful for the help.Extending the network of active and deliberate caring into the student population just makes sense. Kids at Happy Hollow are learning how they can make a difference simply by caring about new students.Such relationships mean more for children's futures than ISTEP scores. Full Post »

After years of talking about it, we finally did it. We split up the boys.It felt like a divorce, of sorts. We're still dividing combined property like Bionicle parts. Fortunately, we split up the 700+ cars last year when we bought two bin dressers.We also went through the closet in William's new room, which used to be the guest room. I sifted through pictures and papers, as well as school projects from kindergarten through second grade.My heart ached at all those mementos of times long past.I tossed a few things, but mostly just moved them around. I did chuck everything related to my graduate degree and former job as a school psychologist. Never say never, but none of that seems relevant now.The boys seemed pleased with having their own space. William kept going into his room and closing the door. Then, he'd trot back out with a huge smile on his face.Last night, the boys slept apart, which they have done just a handful of times since we brought them home from the hospital. I half-expected to have two midnight visitors or find them camped out together in the living room.But, no. My children slept soundly in their own rooms. And, today, both boys seem a little calmer and a little more grown-up, somehow. They were ready. I'm not, quite. But I'll get there. Full Post »

I just found the toothbrush with the congealed Crest.This is the second morning this week William hasn't brushed his teeth after breakfast. Granted, we are struggling to get back into a school routine. I didn't want to wake the boys too early because I know they are tired and tired equals cranky.So, today, I allowed only 45 minutes for breakfast, dressing, and getting to the bus stop. It wasn't enough – especially since William suddenly "remembered" some homework.But I'm still fuming over the ignored toothbrush. I don't consider brushing teeth optional. I can't stand having food in my teeth. I carry floss in my purse, along with the rest of the medicine cabinet. I keep having visions of tiny food particles happily devouring William's tooth enamel.The ironic thing is that William used to be my super-clean kid. I admired his oral care so much that I made a critical parenting error.I told him he should be a dentist when he grows up.This idea did not go over well. William wants to drive race cars for a living -- not fix teeth. But I couldn't seem to let my idea go. I just kept thinking what a great dentist he would make. Only, not anymore. Apparently, he got so sick of my unwanted career advice that he decided to stop taking such good care of his teeth. These days, William evades the toothbrush whenever possible. Of course, now I'm telling him he's going to be the only race car driver without any teeth if he's not careful.He doesn't seem too worried. He can deal with rotten, falling out teeth -- as long as he doesn't have to be a dentist when he grows up. Full Post »

This morning I rode my bike in the dark.I got up at 4:30 and stumbled to the gym, following my typical weekday routine. But the music seemed louder and more obnoxious than usual and my head started to throb. I began to wonder what I was doing clambering up and down on the elliptical machine – aside from getting dizzy trying to read The Diana Chronicles. After 16 minutes, I decided I'd had enough. If I ignore a pulsing head, it tends to turn into a banging gong. So, I headed home and hauled out my bike. And -- in the slightly less than total darkness -- I began to ride.As it turns out, most of my usual route is not exactly well-lit. But my bike and I know the way. Even though I could only see the outline of the path and a few feet in front of me, I knew I was safe and on the right road.Sure, I hit some bumps along the way – and, nearly, a couple of early morning pet walkers. I slowed down, announced myself, and carefully wound my way around them.When I turned back up our driveway, I felt exhilarated – and headache-free.I don't think I'll make a habit of biking in the dark. Still, it struck me as a metaphor for the greater journey.I don't have to be able to see where I'm going to know I'm on the right path. Courage, care, and faith will take me where I need to go.

Anxiety is a funny thing. It's an internalizing expression of emotion, which means the chaos is inside the mind and body rather than out there splattered across the pavement for the world to see. But just because it's internal doesn't mean that anxiety is not a force to be reckoned with.It's toxic sludge that will eat you alive.Anxiety tends to sneak up on me. I find myself moving faster and faster, running away – literally – from my worries. But all the miles I've biked this summer have gotten me no further away from myself. I'm still here -- and I'm still anxious.Not surprisingly, my kids are anxious, too. Whether through nature or nurture – or both – they tend to be worrywarts. As the pressure ratchets up in their lives, I see them scrambling for something they can control.Of course, I'm worried about them. Hello, vicious circle! But, seriously, I want to show them better ways of coping. I know I need to slow down. I need yoga. I need meditation. I need to breathe. I need to sleep, for heaven's sake. But it's hard to do those things when your brain and heart are going a million miles an hour.So, help me, please. In the midst of life's thunderstorms, where do you find shelter? I'm open to any books, poses, potions, or pharmaceuticals. Full Post »

I've got the back to school blues.It's this sinking feeling that summer is over and I failed to make the most of it. Sure, we had some good times, but there were moments I could have played better, opportunities missed, roads not taken. My feelings reflect how I feel about the experience of parenthood – and life, too, I suppose. Although some moments last forever, the whole ride whizzes by in a blink of an eye. I am stunned to hear the words "third grade" coming out of my mouth. It seems like last week that I walked the boys into kindergarten. How can they be in third grade?For that matter, how can I be 37? How can my 20th high school reunion be coming up?I don't plan to dwell on these questions. But, today, as I take the boys to school to begin another academic year, I will allow myself to feel a little down.Tomorrow – party at my house! Full Post »

I've been biking this summer.Because I have obsessive tendencies, I've been biking every day. I'm shooting for quads of steel.My addiction is somewhat remarkable since I have long harbored an anti-biking bias. My parents dragged me on extended, hilly treks when I was a child. Ooh, would I whine! I hated those hills.I did experience a few peak, thrilled-to-be-alive moments on a bike as a child -- once flying downhill after an illicit trip to 7-11 and another time cruising to Target with the theme song to "The Greatest American Hero" running through my head. My bike wheels gave me my first taste of freedom.In general, though, I've thought of biking as a sport for little kids and old folks, with Lance being the rule-making exception.I've tried to make myself jog, but I prefer to run in cold weather. You don't see many cheerful-looking joggers in the summer. Biking is a better warm weather sport.The coolest part is that I can go fast. Minimum pedaling effort results in maximum speed. Still, I try to be considerate. I have not plowed through any strollers or grandmothers.My kids like to join me for early-morning rides. Sometimes, we even luck into an active sidewalk sprinkler.And sometimes -- soaring downhill, with the wind at my back -- I can still hear that old theme song playing in my head:Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.I never thought I could feel so free.Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be?Believe it or not, it's just me. Full Post »

I've been feeling strangely alone lately -- even in the midst of back-to-school chaos.I have lots of friends who I see frequently because we live in a small town. Paths cross, and cross again. But my friends are usually running off to do one thing or another – or I am. We jabber as we race by, but rarely find time to really talk.I've fallen away from writing in a journal and I have a backlog of stuff to process. My spiritual well is on the dry side. The poverty I feel has nothing to do with my checkbook.Plus, I feel somewhat adrift in terms of career/life goals. I know I want to write and I have opportunities to write -- but where do I want my writing to take me? Where do I want to go? I don't know.Writing is confusing because it's both an art and a craft. Lean too much to the craft side and the beauty and meaning can slip away.Maybe I'm on a summit of sorts, looking around and wondering what I want to do with my remaining years. I'm emerging from the kid fog. I'm watching my boys begin to develop their own visions for the future in which I will play a supporting role.It's enough to bring on the heartache.I try not to dwell on how much I miss the littler versions of my sons. The grief swells in my chest, but I suck it in. One of these days, there's going to be a tsunami.As a family, we are blessed with health, hope, and togetherness. Still, the normal growth and change bring inevitable loss and sadness.Maybe that's why I'm feeling the need for friends I can talk with about more than teachers and sports. I need to know I'm not wandering around alone in the world.Even if I am. Full Post »

Lately, I've taken to slipping receipts into the checkbook without subtracting them. The checkbook is growing chubby. I know I need to do the math and face reality. But pay day is a week away and reality hurts.I know I won't bounce a check. I also know we can't afford to eat this week without dipping into savings, mostly because we've spent several hundred dollars on book fees and school supplies.I've always claimed I'd cheerfully support any tax increase that benefited public schools. Still, book fees make me grumpy. I'd never heard of such a thing before we moved here.The real stress comes because this all hits us in one pay period – the same one when we're trying to pay down vacation expenditures. Both of our vehicles need major maintenance, too.And I'm sure the heat isn't helping my attitude. That cooling rain I referenced in my last post dropped us about 10 degrees for about 10 seconds.Aside from putting a crick in my neck, this situation makes me wonder – again – how the working poor manage. I can't see how anyone with multiple kids could swing this month. We're not talking optional expenses.I don't need to be wealthy. But I'm not comfortable breeding debt, either. Am I doing something wrong? Or are cost of living expenses simply rising much faster than wages?Is anyone else feeling the squeeze? Full Post »

After an almost unbearably hot and humid day, the sky cracked open and the rain poured down.I could feel the release of the downpour deep within. The heat had made me nauseous and torpid. I felt suffocated, as if trapped under a scratchy fur coat.The summer rain cleansed the steamy earth and washed the haze from my eyes. My skin cooled. I feel nourished and renewed, even though I watched the water flow from behind the windowpane.Being so in tune with nature brings me great joy. Sorrow, too, sometimes. But mostly joy. Full Post »

Have you heard the "reason, season, lifetime" quote?I haven't been able to track down a clear source for this nugget of wisdom. But I like it.It refers to friendships, though I think it could apply to romantic relationships, too. The idea is that people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. We just have to figure out which it is and then we'll know what to do.I believe everyone in my life is supposed to be there. If some people fade to the background, I assume that's meant to be, too. When I start running into the same person everywhere, I try to figure out why.Last fall, I needed a wise friend to ask how to cope with the impending loss of my grandmother. There was a reason.When the boys were young, other new mothers and I needed each other for support. There was a season.And, then, there are the folks who have known me forever and love me no matter what. They are my lifetime friends.I've noticed that the people I seek out have changed along with me. I am proud to count such strong, authentic individuals as friends.Reason, season, or lifetime?Time will tell. Full Post »

"Awesome in every conceivable way."That's how my friend Amy's husband Mike answers when I ask, "How are you?"He's not being sarcastic or saccharine. He's telling his version of the truth – and creating it at the same time.Long before The Secret, this guy understood the power of positive. I don't think I've ever known a happier, more grateful wife than my friend.I finally read the aforementioned book and have been striving to reframe my own truth. I've already seen some encouraging results.The down side is that I beat myself up more than usual when I fail to expect the best. You stupid idiot, you're supposed to be positive! Not helpful.Of course, optimism taken to the extreme is denial. I don't want to sail down that river. I've worked too hard to develop the courage to tell the truth.On the other hand, I'd rather seek out the good than miss it because I wasn't looking. And I need to exercise my gratitude muscle more often.So, the next time someone asks me how I am, I'm going to try out Mike's answer.Maybe I'll start to believe my own hype. Full Post »

If you told me I'd prefer three eight-year-old boys over than the usual two this summer, I would have said you were crazy.But it's true.Triangles may keep therapists in business, but they are also more solid and stable than a straight line. They create angles and options -- as well as additional walls to bounce off.The remarkable thing about our most frequent third party is how the dynamics have changed. William and Wesley connected immediately with this neighbor when we moved to West Lafayette three years ago. At the time, I wasn't sure that was a good thing.Our smart, creative neighbor boy bubbled over like a vat of Mountain Dew. Together, the three boys raised the roof.Every year, I sighed with relief when my boys weren't placed in the same class as their buddy. They were just a noisy and combustible combination -- too much for one teacher, I was sure.But, now, nothing makes me happier than hearing the doorbell ring. I appreciate the diversion and the disruption of the toxic twin dialogue. Ninety-eight percent of the time, the three boys get along great.I think any teacher who scores two out of three this year should consider herself lucky. Full Post »

Bank lending to SMEs rose to £3.8bn last month, up from £3.6bn in June and more than the average of £3.4bn over the past six months, according to figures released by the Bank of England. However small companies repaid a total of £4.1bn which reduced net lending to -£0.3bn overall. The repayment level was far higher in July than the £3.5bn average over the past six months.
The Governor of the Bank of England has argued that his policy of pledging to keep interest rates unchanged until employment falls to 7pc will encourage companies to borrow and invest.
The policy was officially launched at the beginning of August but Mr Carney signalled his intention to keep interest rates low for longer within days of his arrival at the Bank at the beginning of July.
Bank lending to all businesses jumped to £16.4bn in July, compared to an average of £12.6bn over the past six months. Big businesses borrowed more than they paid back with net lending standing at £0.6bn.
The data showed that bank lending to SMEs decreased by £0.9bn, compared to an increase of £0.2bn in June. But economists said taken as a whole, the lending figures were in line with recent trends.
Steve Davies from PriceWaterhouseCoopers said: "The latest lending figures appear consistent with other data which indicates the beginning of a broad recovery, but we shouldn't read too much into the data until a firmer trend has been established, particularly as net lending to SMEs was down due to higher repayments."
David Tinsley from BNP Paribas said: "The lending position to SMEs remains depressed, with the stock of lending falling to smaller companies. Overall, though, the money data is consistent with a steady and discernible improvement in the economy."

Melissa - posted on 04/02/2010 ( 14 moms have responded )
So yesterday I had the Ultrasound 2 done. Everything was doing great. Heartbeats were strong, Xander weighs 2lbs 2oz and Autumn is 1lb 14oz. but at the end she measured my cervix.....it looked like it was thinning and there was a little dip at the top. I had to immediately go up to my docs office to let her know and wait for the results. She explained that one of my bags of waters was in that dip and I had to go to the hospital for monitoring. While there I started having contractions so they gave me meds to stop them. I was there for about 6 hours before my doc was able to see me and she gave me steriods just in case the babies should happen to arrive early and I was sent home on strict bedrest. I went back today to go back to get one more shot of steriods and on Monday they have to do another ultrasound to check my cervix again. I was 26 weeks as of yesterday and I really didn't think this was going to happen. I'm kinda scared cuz if they come sooner than 34 weeks I have to be shipped 4 hours away to have them and I have two at home already!!!

Why alternative "green" energy is crucial today?
Public awareness of the global energy challenge is at a very high level, at least in the U.S., where I live, even though we do not have an energy crisis of the type that we saw in the 1970's. Energy prices, e.g. for gasoline and electricity, are reasonably stable, and there are no supply shortages like the ones that led to long lines at gasoline stations in the 1970's. Nevertheless, there are two issues driving a need to develop alternative energy sources.
First, climate change arouses concern among many people who wish to see a good environment for themselves and for subsequent generations. This is a very complex phenomenon, but it is clear that growing carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere contributes to it. To reduce carbon emissions, we need to find alternatives to burning stuff, whether it be fossil fuels, wood, or other biofuels.
Second, the U.S. imports a very large fraction of its energy, generating a significant trade balance challenge, overall, and resulting in reliance upon a few foreign countries, particularly for oil. Developing alternatives, especially domestic ones, diversifies the market and is a powerful hedge against price increases in any particular area.
What role national governments play in developing new energy sources? What is the ratio of public/private investments?
Governments take many different approaches to this challenge, but there is certainly worldwide attention to it. In France, where electricity is provided essentially by a government-owned corporation, there has been great success in developing nuclear power. Other countries foster a much more diverse approach with a broader range of solutions, including combustion. In countries where decisions are nominally based upon free-market considerations, there still remain government interventions that tilt decision making in one direction or another. In Europe, motor fuel is taxed much more highly than in the U.S., resulting in a more highly-developed public transportation sector, and less reliance upon automobiles. In the U.S., investment incentives provided to corporations help to drive the development of wind, solar and other renewable energy sources, where they would not otherwise be able to compete with the low cost of coal, oil and natural gas.
Because of the complex interplay between private investments and government programs that take a wide variety of different forms, it takes some very sophisticated econometrics to make any reasonable comparison between different countries on the basis of the ratio of public to private investment. In all cases, however, the government plays some role, either direct or indirect, in determining what kinds of energy sources are developed.

What's new in Linux 3.9
Linus Torvalds has released Linux kernel 3.9 – ten weeks after Linux 3.8. He and his fellow kernel hackers have therefore kept to their usual rhythm, as most of the recent kernel versions have taken around seventy days to develop.
The kernel's Device mapper now includes a cache target called "dm-cache" (1, 2, 3). This option enables a drive to be set up as a cache for another storage device, for example, an SSD as a cache for a hard drive. This feature is able to speed up data writes, as it allows the faster SSD to first cache data and then, in a quiet moment, transfer it to the slower hard drive. The cache target is also able to store frequently read data from the hard drive on the SSD in order to speed up access to it.

Bala Cynwyd, PA (PRWEB) October 20, 2015
The technology market is a one billion dollar businesses for the insurance industry. The constant evolution of technology and growth of the industry presents no shortage of insurance coverage issues for companies. Philadelphia Insurance Companies' (PHLY) new Integrated Technology product addresses those issues by offering a suite of specificly tailored coverages for complex, multifaceted technology organizations.
PHLY's product offers all the coverage needs for a technology company, in one location. Coverages can be tailored to meet the insurance needs of a wide range of companies including Light Assembly, Telecommunications, Computer Hardware and Software Distributors, Programmers, I.T. Consultants, Data Processing Schools, Computer Training Facilities, and Government Contractors.
"We offer a broad definition of 'technology services,' because this industry is constantly evolving and offering new products or services," commented Jerome Wilson, product manager in the Management & Professional Liability division at PHLY. "Our Integrated Technology product is a one-stop shop, meaning companies can be sure there are no gaps in coverage, and expect issues to be resolved more quickly than when multiple carriers are involved."
One unique benefit provided by PHLY's Integrated Technology product is the inclusion of subcontractors under the insurance. This protects a company in the case that issues arise from the use of a subcontractor for any number of reasons. Another important benefit is additional defense, on top of the coverage limits, since defense is a critical need for tech companies. PHLY's Integrated Technology offers multiple coverages for liability exposures that fall under general liability or product loss. Coverage also provides access to risk management services including legal and data breach coaches, who are experts in the tech field. Policyholders will also find individual limits for each coverage, lessening the worry that limits will be reached.

UPS maintenance bypass cabinet integrates three functions
This UPS bypass cabinet system enables IT and facility managers to integrate power transformation, power distribution and maintenance bypass into a single cabinet. This three-in-one cabinet complements a rack-based 60 kVA UPS parallel system, and is designed to allow the transfer of power to full system bypass to perform service, testing and maintenance on up to a full rack of UPS units without interrupting power to the critical load.
The Powerware BladeUPS Maintenance Bypass Cabinet (MBC) enables IT and facility managers to integrate power transformation, power distribution and maintenance bypass into a single cabinet. This three-in-one cabinet complements a rack-based 60 kVA Powerware BladeUPS parallel system, and is designed to allow the transfer of power to full system bypass to perform service, testing and maintenance on up to a full rack of Powerware BladeUPS without interrupting power to the critical load.
Instead of having a separate power distribution unit or step-down transformer, distribution cabinet and bypass cabinet, this system combines the convenience and simplicity of all three functions in one factory-tested box. The integral maintenance bypass is a mechanical way to bypass the internal components of the UPS while still sending utility power to the load. If the UPS must be repaired internally, it can be completely isolated from utility power and a technician can safely perform service without voltage present.
The unit uses a TP-1 transformer, which meets the U.S. Department of Energy standard for the Energy Star program, to step down utility power from 480 V to 208/120 V to provide electrical isolation and appropriate input voltage for the UPS modules. With high efficiency, even at low loads, the transformer yields significant savings in utility costs.
Additional features include:
• Integrated power distribution with two 42-pole Cutler Hammer panelboards for easy installation of additional breakers in the field
• Multi-function design that integrates electrical isolation, voltage transformation, electrical distribution and maintenance bypass; simplifies the data center architecture and conserves floor space, compared to separate maintenance bypass and power distribution systems
• Free-standing design that harmonizes with other data center equipment and easy installation and use with flexible access and deployment options.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

The Senate Republican conference on Tuesday afternoon released its report on proposed changes to state tax policy — the latest installment of what's becoming a November series. The findings were generated by hearings conducted around the state by Sens. John DeFrancisco and Carl Marcellino.
At the top of a long list of reforms, the conference recommends a permanent 2 percent cap on state spending, with any surplus revenues directed to a "Tax Freedom Fund" dedicated to tax reductions. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has tried to keep agency spending at that level since taking office, although Medicaid and education spending have grown at a higher rate.
Other proposals include the elimination of corporate tax rates, the corporate tax on manufacturers, the MTA payroll mobility tax on government entities and the MTA-region car registration and driver's license fee increases enacted in 2009 — the last two major issues in downstate suburban districts.
The report also seeks a two-thirds majority vote requirement for tax increases — a measure that's about as likely to pass as a surcharge on unicorn owners.
The state Business Council digs the report, according to this statement from Ken Pokalsky, its vice president of government affairs:
"We applaud Senator Skelos and his conference members for developing this aggressive package of tax reforms, and for including business and other taxpayer ideas. The Senate Republican reform recommendations also reflect a number of tax reform priorities identified by Business Council members.
These recommendations build on, and will help make permanent, New York's recent success at controlling spending, which will make New York a more attractive state for investors and businesses alike. Coupled with ongoing efforts by the Governor's tax commissions, they add to tax reform momentum building for 2014."
Here's the full report:
1119.2013 Preliminary Tax Report FINAL
And the accompanying press release:
State Senate Republicans today issued a comprehensive report on state taxes that calls for personal income taxes, business taxes, estate taxes and local property taxes to be reformed, simplified and reduced. The report makes sweeping recommendations for reducing the tax burden on all New Yorkers. The plan recommends enacting a permanent two-percent state spending cap and dedicating surplus revenues to tax reductions.
The report was developed based on testimony at a series of statewide public hearings conducted by Senator John A. DeFrancisco, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Senator Carl L. Marcellino, Chairman of the Committee on Investigations and Government Operations. The report will be shared with the tax reform commissions established by Governor Cuomo for their review.
"It's unacceptable that New York ranks 50th in business tax climate and first in population loss. Senate Republicans are recommending strong and dramatic actions to improve our business climate, create good jobs, and give families the opportunities they need to stay in New York," Senate Republican Leader Dean Skelos said. "We are proposing a plan to greatly reduce the tax burden on New Yorkers at every level, making it more competitive for businesses to locate and grow here. There is nothing more progressive than empowering the private sector to create good-paying jobs."
"I want to thank Senators DeFrancisco and Marcellino, as well as the many members who participated in these hearings, for their outstanding work," Senator Skelos said. "Senate Republicans will be pushing hard for enactment of our tax reduction and reform plan because it will mean a brighter future for families, individuals, and businesses across the entire state."
"Over the last few years, New York State government has taken steps in the right direction to improve the fiscal health of our state, reduce the tax burden and eliminate obstacles that prevent businesses from thriving," Senator DeFrancisco said. "Yet, we should never stop looking for new ways to reform and improve our tax policies, cut our taxes and encourage economic growth. Our recommendations will help us shape a new tax reform and reduction proposal that fits the demands and realities of a 21st century economy."
"Our recommendations to reform and reduce taxes will help ensure a brighter, stronger and more prosperous future for New York," Senator Marcellino said. "Our proposals would also make staying in New York not only more attractive, but the preferred option for young New Yorkers, middle class families, senior citizens, and private sector businesses."
Highlights of the recommendations made in the preliminary Senate report include, among other things:
- > Enact a permanent two-percent cap on state spending growth and dedicate every dollar of surplus savings to tax reduction;
- > Create an optional simple personal income tax calculation;
- > Make inflation adjustments for income brackets permanent so a taxpayer's tax burden is not increased simply due to normal wage growth;
- > Eliminate unfair tax treatment by making all retirement income tax-free to encourage seniors to stay in New York;
- > Dramatically reform and reduce property taxes to provide relief for hardworking families;
- > Accelerate reductions in the 18-a utility tax surcharge to two years, fully eliminating the surcharge in SFY 2016-17;
- > Reform New York's onerous Estate Tax to protect family farms and small businesses and eliminate the incentive to transfer wealth to other states;
- > Reduce corporate tax rates with the goal of elimination;
- > Eliminate the corporate tax on manufacturers;
- > Eliminate the MTA payroll mobility tax on government entities to prevent double taxation; and
- > Eliminate the MTA-region car registration and driver's license fee increases enacted in 2009.
"Just reshuffling the deck by cutting some taxes and raising others won't be enough to turn our economy around," Senator Skelos said. "Raising taxes on things like gas and clothing will only increase the tax burden on businesses and families, especially in rural and suburban New York. We have to stay focused on cutting taxes, not increasing them."
Over the past two months of public hearings, the committees heard testimony, received written communications and met with New York's business leaders and stakeholders across the state. There were consistent themes that emerged from job creators: the need for broad-based tax reductions in corporate and personal income taxes, with the inclusion of some of the more important tax credits, and the need for simplicity in the tax code.
The report outlines some of the Joint Committee's initial findings and outlines a plan that will make it easier for businesses, residents and retirees to stay and thrive in this state.
It will be used to help guide the Senate Republican Conference's efforts as the 2014 Legislative Session and the 2014-15 State Budget process gets underway.
Senate Republican Tax Reform Action Plan
Cap State Spending – Limit Tax Increases
• Formalize and make permanent a two percent cap on State spending growth. Over the past two years, the State has saved $17 billion by adhering to a self-imposed two percent cap. By making a cap permanent going forward, New York will save an additional $11 billion over the next four years – providing ample room and flexibility for tax cuts and pro-growth tax reforms to be implemented;
• Reduce tax rates by establishing a new dedicated Tax Freedom Fund (TFF). The TFF would be tied to the two percent State spending cap, and every dollar of surplus savings at the end of the fiscal year would be targeted directly toward the reduction of taxes; and
• Enact a two-thirds majority vote requirement for tax increases.
Personal Income Tax
• Create an optional simple Personal Income Tax calculation. Dramatically simplify the tax code by basing income calculations on the Federal Adjusted Gross Income (F-AGI) with only one single adjustment.
• Make permanent the inflation adjustments enacted in 2013 for income tax brackets, the standard deduction, and child credits to help ensure that taxpayers don't see tax increases simply because of inflation and wage growth;
• Eliminate unfair tax treatment by making all retirement income tax-free, thus encouraging seniors to remain in New York. Currently only Federal, State, and local pension income is completely tax-free; and
• Take specific steps to reform and simplify New York's tax code, including the elimination of the Personal Income Tax (PIT) Minimum Tax.
Estate Tax
• Amend New York's onerous Estate Tax by conforming it with the Federal Job Creation Act and the American Taxpayer Relief Act to protect family farms and small businesses and eliminate the incentive to transfer wealth from New York to other states.
Corporate Income Tax
• Review New York's current, piecemeal-style approach to tax relief – which involves providing tax credits to specific industries – in favor of a simplified system that produces a lower tax structure for all businesses;
• Reduce Corporate Tax Rates with the goal of elimination by adopting a trigger to reduce corporate tax rates 15 percent across-the-board if new State revenues exceed $500 million;
• Combine the Bank Tax and Corporate Franchise Tax;
• Reduce Corporate Franchise Tax rates with a commensurate reduction in the value of all business credits and tax preferences;
• Eliminate the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT);
• Reduce taxes that hurt job creation and hinder the competitiveness of small businesses and manufacturers, including the complete elimination of the Corporate Tax on manufacturers;
• Align with Federal tax preferences and definitions to further simplify the tax code;
• Make the Brownfield Tax Credit permanent in order to encourage new projects and investment in key areas that are badly in need of economic activity; and
• Create an Angel Tax Credit and make the Film Tax Credit more directly accessible to New York studios.
Sales Tax
• Review the not-for-profit exemption to ensure accountability and proper use of the exemption.
Property Tax
• Make the property tax cap permanent; and
• Provide temporary property tax relief to millions of hardworking families across the State until the full impact of the tax cap is realized.
Miscellaneous Taxes
• Accelerate the reductions in the 18-A Utility Tax Surcharge so that it is phased-out in two years instead of four, and is eliminated in SFY 2016-17;
• Eliminate the MTA Payroll Mobility Tax on government entities to prevent double taxation;
• Eliminate the MTA-region car registration and driver's license fee increases that were imposed in 2009; and
• Remove the obsolete Stock Transfer Tax language from the Tax Law.
Streamlining Tax Filings
• Review the administrative cost to taxpayers of taxation and tax filings.

Pentagon Sets Up War Zone Justice Board to Review Cases
The Pentagon today formed a review board of lawyers and retired combat commanders to assess whether military justice was administered fairly, effectively, and credibly in cases against U.S. personnel in war zones since October 2001, officials said today.
The board will not re-litigate cases of U.S. military abuse, instead reviewing instances to see if the military justice system can be improved, Pentagon General Counsel Jeh Johnson told reporters.
"We've had instances where we had to employ military justice, and we want to ask ourselves every once in a while if the system is working like it should," Johnson said. "It's not intended to provide legal advise to the department," he said.
"It involves the application of military justice concerning offenses against civilians." he said. Johnson said he doesn't know how many cases would be reviewed. The size and scope of the board's caseload have yet to be determined, he said.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in a July 30 memo spelling out the board's charter wrote that, although "bad things have happened involving combat excess and civilians" in deployed areas, the "abuses have been rare among our professional fighting force but they became huge flash points that threatened to undermine our entire mission."
"Thus, for offenses that take place in a country in which we operate alongside the civilian population, it is critical that our system of military justice be efficient, fair, dependable and credible," Panetta wrote.
The review should address issues such as "the manner in which alleged offenses are initially reported and investigated," and "are there ways to ensure that alleged offenses are reported promptly," according to Panetta's memo.
The board will not review allegations or documented instances of detainee abuse and collateral damage from military weapons that accidentally killed civilians, Panetta said.
