Energy and Technology Committee, Michigan State Senate
The Energy and Technology Committee, previously known as the Energy Policy & Public Utilities Committee, is a standing committee of the Michigan State Senate. Per Senate Rule 2.103, the committee is made up of nine members.[1]
Per Rule 1.105 of the Senate Rules, committees in the Michigan State Senate are appointed by the Majority Leader unless otherwise called for by the Senate. Committees are appointed at the beginning of every two-year legislative session. All appointments to standing committees and subcommittees made by the Majority Leader must be approved by the Senate. The Majority Leader shall make appointments of minority members from a list submitted by the Minority Leader; while the Majority Leader can partially reject the list, the Minority Leader shall submit other nominations.[2] The first person named to a committee will serve as chair; the second will serve as majority vice chair, and all others shall rank in the order they were named. The first minority member named shall serve as minority vice chair. In the absence of the chair and the majority vice chair, the highest ranking member present will preside as acting chair. A committee member, but not a chairperson, who has been absent for a significant period of time may be replaced by the Majority Leader until he or she returns.[3]
See rules: Senate Rules
|"The rules of the Senate and House do not describe the jurisdiction of the individual standing committees except that all Senate bills involving an appropriation must be referred either directly to the appropriations committee or to an appropriate standing committee and then to the appropriations committee. Traditionally, the assignment of bills follows topical lines.
[The] primary function of the standing committees is to consider legislation....[4][5]

I thought the story of Rose, which was beautiful, was done. I didn't want to add to it, and I didn't feel comfortable adding to it, really. That was always [former Doctor Who showrunner] Russell [T Davies]'s story. But we did want Billie. And I liked the idea of bringing back the Bad Wolf version. The way Russell ended it in "The End of Time," by just sort of looping it around, was perfect. I didn't want to stick another bit of it in. That would be wrong. I just wanted to get Billie Piper, one of the absolute heroes of Doctor Who, back in the show, but without interfering with the story of Rose Tyler. I just thought I might spoil something. I might trip over my bootlaces doing that.

|Loaded with subplots, Bears-Chargers could be Super Bowl preview
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 06 September 2007 12:25
``We felt it should have been, but we didn't do the things necessary to make that happen,'' Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said.
These teams had the best records in their respective conferences. The Bears made it to Miami. The Chargers stumbled around like drunk sailors on shore leave in losing their playoff opener at home against New England.
``That's why we're so disgusted with the loss,'' Rivers said. ``That was kind of our expectations. We're getting to play them six, seven months later.''
Consolation or not, it'll be a marquee matchup when Rivers, reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson and the rest of the Chargers host the Bears in Sunday's season opener.
It could even be a Super Bowl preview for next February.
``It'd be just fine,'' Rivers said.
Whether they're still playing five months from now, the Bears and Chargers are looking forward to this matchup.
``What a great way to start the season off,'' new Bears strong safety Adam Archuleta said. ``We feel good about ourselves, but we can't rest on what we've done.
``I think there's a lot of energy and enthusiasm,'' Archuleta added. ``Guys are ready to play ball. Guys are hyped up and can't wait for it to get here. I think it's been that way all year, but now, it's just a little bit more focused.''
The Chargers were an NFL-best 14-2 last year before flaming out in a shower of miscues that let New England rally for a 24-21 divisional-round win. The Bears topped the NFC at 13-3 before losing to Indianapolis in the Super Bowl.
The Bears are looking to make a statement, with their tough defense facing a talent-laden Chargers offense that scored an NFL-high 492 points last year.
``I know we can,'' cornerback Charles Tillman said. ``I think it'll be a good challenge for us to see where we are and what we need to do and what lies ahead of us for the rest of the season.''
San Diego has won 10 straight regular-season games and was undefeated at home in 2006.
For sheer star power, the Chargers had five players make the elite All-Pro team last year and Chicago had four. San Diego topped the league with 11 Pro Bowlers, while Chicago had eight, although not all played due to injury.
There are a handful of subplots, too.
- San Diego's Norv Turner begins his third stint as an NFL coach, taking over for the deposed Marty Schottenheimer. Turner's first two gigs didn't end well; he was a combined 58-82-1 with Washington and Oakland.
- Turner will be facing his younger brother, Ron, the Bears' offensive coordinator. Dating to 1996, the brothers Turner are 1-1 against each other.
- Ron Rivera, whose contract as Bears defensive coordinator wasn't renewed, was hired as Chargers inside linebackers coach after being beaten out by Turner for the top job.
- The Chargers have already beaten the Bears once this year. Oh wait, that's just a shoe commercial featuring Tomlinson slashing and spinning through the hapless Bears for a game-winning TD.
That commercial has led to a bit of banter between SoCal and the Windy City.
Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris, who's in the commercial, squashed the notion that the ad - in which the defenders miss tackle after tackle - would motivate Chicago.
``That's a joke to us,'' Harris said. ``We'll go out there, we'll play. Tell Ron Rivera I said hello. We'll go out there and have a good time. Hopefully, we'll start the season off right, and I wish the San Diego Chargers well.''
The Bears get to see the real Tomlinson, the one who set 13 NFL records last year, including 31 touchdowns - 28 rushing - and 186 points. He won his first rushing title with 1,815 yards.
``He's supposedly the best back in the business. I think he is,'' Tillman said. ``He's their poster child. He does everything. He's a soon-to-be Hall of Famer. He's explosive, he's hard to tackle, hard runner, quick, very elusive - he's the best.''
While Chicago led the league with 44 takeaways in 2006, the Chargers have a pretty good defense, too, one that led the NFL with 61 sacks. Outside linebacker Shaun Phillips, who forms a bookend rushing tandem with All-Pro Shawne Merriman, said the defense is looking at this as a game within a game.
Besides winning, ``we want to outplay their defense, also,'' Phillips said. ``Like they create a turnover, we need to create a turnover. They score on defense, we score on defense. That's just how we're going about this game.''
Chargers fans can debate forever whether their team should have been playing in Miami last February.
``That's neither here nor there. That can never be determined,'' Phillips said. ``Maybe that can be determined this year, around February.''
Bears wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad agrees.
``They came up just a little bit short against New England, but definitely could have been a representative in the Super Bowl,'' he said. ``I think they feel that way. We're definitely one of the better teams in the NFC, so this is going to be a clash of the titans. It could be an early preview of what's going to happen in the playoff run. You never know what can happen, but we're excited about it.''
AP Sports Writer Andrew Seligman in Chicago contributed to this report.

It's Hair Loss Support At Its Best
Cicatricial (scarring) alopecia refers to a group of rare disorders which destroy the hair follicle and replace it with scar tissue, thereby causing permanent hair loss. Those afflicted with this type of alopecia are faced with some special needs.

To have my eyebrows tattooed at the hospital would cost me £300.00.
Other's with Alopecia have had them done for free at the same hospital. So I feel rather disappointed that I have been refused, maybe it's because of old age I may be seen as none important. Ah! well!, I shall still stand for my right and be counted.........
Hi! Debs,
Happy New Year! everyone.
I did use Betnovate on my scalp for 6 months.Then last year my Dermatologist at the QE. Hospital, advised me to use Dermovate for 6 weeks only- to ease the redness on my scalp- no good- it made me feel ill with headaches. So I went back to Betnovate some mornings and evenings, when I take off my wig to ease the itchiness I use it and especially after a shower, the Betnovate gives me relief but does not stop the scalp redness and itchiness. In February this year, I will see my Dermatologist and see what else is on offer. I do believe though, that the Steroids are not doing my failed Immune system or my health any good. Also the Dermatologist refuses to allow me to have my eyebrows Tattooed ,[do not have any] says it's only cosmetic .
Hi! Rosie,
Where can I purchase this - 'Oilatum Shampoo' ?
God Bless you all.
I was diagnosed in November 2013. Devastated, since I did notice the initial papules on my hairline and a dermatologist misdiagnosed it as an actinic keratosis 3 yrs ago. Moving forward, an esthetician noticed a demarcation in my hairline. Biopsy confirmed LPP and FFA. I am taking Plaquenil 400mg, Doxycycline 100 2x daily, clobetasol foam, intralesional injections, (tried taper of prednisone) and most recently my own addition of Zyrtec 30mg. I swear the clobetasol is thinning my hair that is in the normal parameters. Dr told me to use this 2x daily....since early December. It is now mid January and it is much worse than before diagnosis. But How do you apply clobetasol and how much do you apply? I think I am going to once a day......
Has anyone tried naturopathic medicine for LPP? Special diets or anything?
Hello Debs uk.
thank you for your reply. I have taken on board what you have said, and am learning to be good to myself. and to others.[ it does help].
Love to all with same ' unexpected gift'.
Amilda. x
Hi! My name is Kathy and I was diagnosed with scarring alopecia from LPP in September. I am having steroid injections and using Dermovate ointment and the inflammation is better but I am still losing my hair. I didn't know that the shedding I have experienced for the last 5 years or so had anything to do with this, I thought it was my thyroid. I have 3 bald spots that I can still cover with my hair but they are getting worse. Any treatment advice on what works and what doesn't would be greatly appreciated. Should I be taking medication on top of the steroid injections? Thanks everyone.

Despite increasing global interest in regional palliative care networks (PCN) to integrate care, little explicit direction exists to guide their evaluation. The first step of this research was to develop a comprehensive conceptual framework using a systems approach for evaluating integrated palliative care. This framework was then used to guide a rigorous examination of a selected PCN.
The conceptual framework was derived from the empirical literature, incorporating principal features of network integration. A case study methodology was used to assess structure (administration) and process (provider) levels in the framework through document review, a PCN executive interview, and surveys with organizational administrators and health professionals who provide palliative care in the community catchment of the PCN.
Key features to efficient palliative care delivery are currently lacking across this PCN area. Still, the 20 responding administrators (90% response rate) largely viewed Network accomplishments positively and the resulting partnerships as beneficial and collaborative. Additional efforts were seen as required in ensuring palliative care patient identification, reducing silos between organizations, and greater by-in from regional authorities. Relative to processes, the 86 health care providers (85% response rate) reported valuing collaboration and reflected positively on many of the framework elements measured. Insufficiencies were perceived in support for case conferencing and evaluative activities, as well as in informational access.
This study enabled us to test both the utility of the framework and the capacity of the selected PCN for providing quality, integrated palliative care. This study represents an important initial attempt at examining network-integrated palliative care.

With over $375,000 in cash & prize guarantees for their YK/2000 Team Tournament Tour, the Bass-N-Bucks organization is offering a guaranteed cash & prize payout of over $40,000 for each of their YK/2000 team tournament events. "We are paying out a first place prize of a fully rigged Skeeter/Yamaha SX186 Bass Boat, valued at $20,000, per each and every tournament this year," stated Tournament Director, David Concienne, "with a guaranteed cash & prize payout of over $40,000 for the top 25 places, which includes the top 3 big bass, David further informs. "We also have bonus money available for our anglers this year, David explains, stating that Skeeter/Yamaha will pay Skeeter Owners, who win 1st place positions in "any" of our team events, a $1,000 cash bonus, plus $2,500 for those who've qualified for the "Gold Tour" package-(see bonus money rules & regs at)- 'AND', David happily includes, all Skeeter Tour bonus winners will become eligible to compete in the "National Skeeter Tour Championship. We are very excited about our Bass-N-Bucks team tour this year," David informs, adding that their Championship package offers over $85,000 in cash & prizes, which includes fully rigged Skeeter/Yamaha ZX-202/225 Bass Boat awards for the 1st and 2nd place Championship teams.
As the Bass-N-Bucks tournament crew moved to collect and tally their first weigh-in for the YK/2000 season, John Caballero and Steven Rodriquez of Victoria TX, received the dubious honor of becoming the first team to weigh-in for the Bass-N-Bucks 'Millennium Tour.' "With 288 teams registered to compete in this first Millennium event," David Concienne announces to the large crowd of spectators, "we have upped our original payout of $40,000 in cash & prizes to over $52,000 as we'll be paying the top 40 places overall."
As previous days of purr-fect weather conditions quickly gave way to some serious East Texas Winterization, double trouble cold fronts pushed through with crackling thunder storms and drenching rains, leaving everyone on rock n' roll patterns, "TRAILERING IS ALLOWED" became the safety call for the day, and as the 3:pm weigh-in deadline neared its collective moments at Twin Dikes Marina, the weigh-in crew was to get a very "vigorous" work-out!!
1st-(5 bass/23.61 lbs)-Charles Latham of Orange TX, and Tim Palculict of Beaumont TX, managed to run their Skeeter/Yamaha to mid-lake points while working G-loomis rods and Shimano reels spooled with Berkely 12# Big Game mono. "We fished from 7' of water, casting into 15' to work our 8"carolina rigged watermelon Zoom worms through brush & grass," they stated, adding that they started fishing at 6:45am, when a quick bite managed to put an 18 lb limit in their boat by 7:am, which included a 7.07 lb 'kicker.' "We continued to catch fish until 1:30pm," they further told, stating that they managed to catch at least 30 bass from an all day bite, catching another 7.78 lb "kicker" at 8:am. In being that they had won the event from the deck of a Skeeter/Yamaha AND had purchased that rig from Dawson Marine of Beaumont TX, the 1st place duo would also collect a Skeeter bonus of $3,500 for winning the tournament as well as winning the keys to a fully rigged Skeeter/Yamaha valued at $20,000.
2nd-(5 bass/21.31 lbs)-James Hewitt of Devers TX, and Mike Wheatley of Keachie LA, ran their Triton/Mercury bass-rig to northlake willows while fishing with 15# Berkely Big Game mono, "we worked 2' to 4' shallow willows with 1/2 oz shad colored Cyclone spinner baits- w/goldflake trailers, and shad colored Mann's Baby Bass Minus-1 crankbaits," they announced, adding that they probably caught 28 to 30 bass from an 8:00am to 12:15pm bite that also put the big bass of the day in the boat as Mike Wheatley landed his 8.26 lb "kicker" from his 8:20am crankbait bite. The 2nd place team would collect a cool $4,800 for their bassin' efforts as well as another $1,000 in big bass money.
3rd-(5 bass/19.83 lbs)- Brandon Breaux and Jesse Johnson of Hampshire TX, fished midlake 2ndary points with 20# Berkely Big Game mono, "we worked medium diving red crankbaits and 3/4 oz red/chrome Rat-L-Traps within 6' to 8' grass," they informed, telling that they caught at least 30 keepers from an 8:am to 10:30am bite. The 3rd place team managed to put a $2,000 check into their tackle-pack.

My season planning starts with a series of conversations with different directors. I say, "What are you most passionate about these days?" Then we sort of LOOK IN EACH OTHER'S EYES for glimmers of excitement.
I was a little skeptical when Bartlett Sher, who is the director of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, brought it to me, because I thought we didn't need to explore this story any further than it had already been explored. I actually found [the musical version] quite remarkable and worthwhile, much to my surprise. [The creative team] look at it as a really romantic, sexy story about the lost true love of your life, and that sings really well.

Syrian rockets hit Lebanon's Labweh
The Lebanese border town of Arsal has frequently been hit and targeted by rockets from Syria (Joseph Eid/AFP)

Three rockets fired from Syria landed in the northeast Lebanon town of Labweh Wednesday, security sources said, adding that there were no reports of causalities.
Two of the rockets, which caused material damage, landed near the town cemetery, the sources said.
The third rocket landed at the town's main road near a commerci al store, they added.
The attack was claimed by the militant group Liwaa Ahrar Al Sunna-Baalbek, which referred to the town as a "Hezbollah stronghold."
Previous such attacks against predominantly-Shiite towns and villages commonly associated with Hezbollah have been claimed by Islamist groups linked to the armed Syrian opposition, citing Hezbollah's role in the Syrian war.

Johnny Carson
Hosted: five times (1978-1981, 1983)
What made Carson so great? The man had an extraordinarily healthy ego, one that didn't require strokes from the outside world. This was a man who had four wives and was wise enough to always crack the first joke about that statistic. He was a star, and elusive in his way, but always very human. Stopped for drunk driving in 1982, he had the good humor to show up at the "Tonight Show" the next week with a police escort. He didn't need us, but, at the same time, it was clear he liked us quite a bit. The Oscars were important to us, and he understood that, but he never took it too seriously. He knew how to mock his Hollywood brethren ("I see a lot of new faces, especially on the old faces") in a style that was both wicked and gentle. His wit was remarkably self-deprecating, but never whiny (Letterman, take note) or snotty (ahem, Mr. Martin). Here's how he summed up 1983: "My personal life has been exactly like this year's Academy Awards. It started off with 'Terms of Endearment,' I thought I had 'The Right Stuff,' it cost a lot to dress her ['The Dresser'], then came 'The Big Chill,' and the past month, I've been begging for 'Tender Mercies.'" From his many late nights in television, he had a keenly developed sense of the timely joke; returning from commercial break during the era of the Iranian hostage crisis, he said, "For those of you who have just joined us at home, this is Day 164 of the Oscar telecast. America has not forgotten you and President Carter is working on a plan for your release." He had a certain dignity -- the man could hang with Miss Piggy and not look ridiculous -- but mostly, Johnny Carson had serious cool.
Overall impression: Legend, sorely missed, still.

There may be a long pause here on Solo Femininity. I'm traveling today to the United Kingdom. It's time for another mission video shoot. I know, I know. It's a tough job, but somebody has to visit picturesque England and Wales in the prime of summer. And you know what a servant I am. (By the way, those of you reading this blog who attend Sovereign Grace churches will see the final product during our Mission Presentation one Sunday in October. I also understand it will be available for purchase after that time in our online store. I'll keep you all posted, as you've read so much about this video already!)
In the meantime, I have a TV program to recommend to you. I watched it last night while packing and found it absolutely fascinating. It's called The Dead Sea: A Naked Planet Special, and it was running on my local PBS station. Here's the description in the program guide:
This program is one of a series of specials that takes the viewer on a journey of discovery to some of the world's most famous natural wonders. Drawing on the latest scientific information, the program tells the story of how the Dead Sea was created and investigates how human cultures have adapted to and been influenced by these areas. Looking into the future, the program shows how the Dead Sea is being changed by the impact of mass tourism, power projects and urban development.
At 1,400 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is one of the deepest places on Earth. It contains enough toxins in a single glass of water to kill a person. The sea was made famous in the Old Testament as the mythical location of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Now, scientists are on the trail of the truth behind the myth of these lost cities and the fire and brimstone that destroyed them.
There were the usual references to an evolutionary worldview, but for a PBS program, it was stunningly honest and fair about all the biblical references. They showed the caves that King David hid in, talked about the desert where Christ wandered for 40 days and 40 nights, showed the area where Sodom and Gomorrah was supposed to be, and so on--all for the most part without the adjectives of "alleged" or "biblical myth" and the like. It was fascinating to see the locations mentioned in the Old Testament and to understand just how different the atmosphere and climate is at the Dead Sea. It makes the account of Lot's wife a lot easier to understand!
So while I'm gone, I recommend you check your local PBS listings for the next showing. My local station has been showing it periodically throughout the year. I didn't see that it was for sale yet on the PBS store, but if anyone finds out where it can be purchased, please let us know.
And if I can do so, I'll send you all an "e-postcard" from the U.K.

Feds ring up Six Flags Great America for $100K-plus in safety fines
Written by Robert Niles
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has hit Six Flags Great America, located north of Chicago in Gurnee, Ill., over 38 alleged safety violations. The agency recommened that the park be fined $117,700 for the violations, which range from improperly marked exits to damaged ladders to defective emergency brakes on an industrial truck.Tweet
Readers' Opinions
From Anthony Murphy on September 10, 2007 at 10:08 PM
From Joseph Boone on September 11, 2007 at 12:13 AM
My guess is that this won't be the end of the story. If OSHA had found nothing or only trivial violations, then I could see them moving on to other companies. But for the to hit Six Flags for a six figure fine at one location, it sure seems likely that inspectors will be scrutinizing the other Six Flags parks to see if they have similar issues. Time will tell, I suppose.
From Scott Galas on September 11, 2007 at 7:49 AM
OSHA is going to be concerned with the park's EMPLOYEE safety - not the park's guests.
Brakes on a truck are most likely a behind-the-scene vehicle. The ladder is probably something behind-the-scenes as well as the exits.
As for the $100K, hopefully they can get that amount reduced...
From Mike West on September 11, 2007 at 9:27 AM
That poor baby giraffe dying from smoke inhalation at Discovery Kingdom recently. Followed by this. I think 6 F might definately be under the magnifying glass already.
From Chris Cook on September 11, 2007 at 10:47 AM
Usually, OSHA investigations are sparked by employee reports. Given that 6F has been having financial difficulties, I think it's against their own interest for an employee to report this instead of working with park management to remedy the issues. Now, if they've attempted that and gotten unsatisfactory results, that's another issue.
I'd hate to see any more parks in the U.S. closing their doors. The reporting employee could be hurting himself/herself and coworkers. Stories about safety fines will get wildy exagerated as they spread through the public. By the time it gets to some people, I'm sure that it will be rumoured that people died on rides or something.
From Robert OGrosky on September 11, 2007 at 11:45 AM
Who says that if this was reported by a employee that he already made reports to management and they didnt take the corrective actions needed/required??
I hope SFGAM takes this seriously and fix's the problems noted, escepcially if some are repeat violations.
Being my home park I go at least 10-15 times a year and I have always thought the park was run in a safe manner, but we dont see what happens behind the scene's.
A heards up to OSHA, if you want to find unsafe park operations just travel down to Mt Olypmus and you will get writers cramp from all you find!!
From Scott Galas on September 11, 2007 at 12:12 PM
Six Flags stung by $117,000 in proposed safety fines
September 11, 2007
The problems cited don't involve any rides. They allege safety issues that could jeopardize employees at the Gurnee park, said Scott Allen of the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Six Flags received OSHA's inspection report Friday. "We've resolved several of the issues already and will continue to work with OSHA through their appeals office," Great America's Brooke Gabbert said Monday.
The findings "are specific to employee workplace areas, and they do not impact our guests,'' she said.
The agency also found 34 "serious" violations that netted a proposed $90,000 fine, Allen said. They included unsafe storage of flammable liquids; improperly covered sprinkler heads; poorly marked exits; exposed wood-and-metal-cutting equipment, and an eyewash station that didn't work.
"Employers must remain dedicated to keeping the workplace safe and healthful or face close scrutiny by this agency," said OSHA's Diane Turek.
"The safety of our employees and guests has always been our top priority and we invest the greatest amount of resources'' in safety, Gabbert said.
From Anthony Murphy on September 11, 2007 at 2:43 PM
The bizzareness of the story is that there were very little reports from SFGA on the news or anything like that. Granted, its not Disney or Universal, but it never seemed dangerous.
From Claudine Deshaies on September 11, 2007 at 3:55 PM
An employee calling OSHA is not the only thing that would cause all the scrutiny. The fact that the park has had previous accidents which injured and/or killed any employees would put Six Flags on a list of employers that they would keep an eye on anyway.
From E Rounds on September 11, 2007 at 5:33 PM
Aren't nearly all of those things fairly low-level janitorial-maintenance stuff employees are closely involved with? Don't improperly stored chemicals and covered sprinkler heads mean that janitors and groundskeeper don't have a clue? And if they don't have a clue, is it because they make $6.25/hour and don't care and they don't get canned because who else will do it for $6.25/hr, are poorly trained, or don't understand English because they're from Thailand?
Brakes - hmmm - those guys are probably making $11/hr, right? Is that enough for them to care? Is SFGAm just not buying replacement parts until they are past due? How much money could they have saved by doing it right the first time? Or is this like Ford deciding that lawsuits from exploding Pintos were cheaper than actually fixing the Pinto?
I relish this. SF needs to learn they can't cut everything in the budget back and expect to get away with it. The better news is they'll have to fix all the other parks before those get inspected too.
From Scott Galas on September 12, 2007 at 4:49 AM
E Rounds pointed out in the previous post that a "...person making $6.25/hour isn't enough to make a person care... or don't understand English because they're from Thailand?"
How ridiculous and ignorant - and should be ashamed!
What this shows is that the management and leadership of SF/GA is blatantly not training the employees or enforcing guidelines that should be in place.
Unlabeled chemicals are dangerous - blocked exits are unsafe - defective brakes in a truck, definately SERIOUS!!!!
This is definately not a case of a disgruntled employee calling OSHA - this is a case of OSHA coming onto their property and seeing these blatant violations again and again and again - that is why they were fined!
Read this line from the newspaper article again: "OSHA recommended a $27,700 fine for "repeat serious violations" and "The agency also found 34 "serious" violations." REPEAT and SERIOUS are two heavy-duty words!
Blaming the employees is wrong; they are not the only ones responsible for safety but a mere starting point.
From E Rounds on September 13, 2007 at 5:40 AM
That's not an exact quote, different sentences were combined and the training part of the primary sentence was conveniently removed. I hope I made it clear that it is a management issue, that management isn't willing to pay enough to hire people they know can do their jobs properly, isn't hiring people who speak English (or Spanish in some areas) to be able to understand the training, or train people properly in the first place. SF hires the cheapest bodies available, regardless of their skill set, commitment to their jobs, or even respect for or knowledge of basic safety standards to ensure the health of themselves and other employees.

A Swedish Heritage with an American Pride !
As you enter Wausa, in northeastern Nebraska's Knox County, colorful Swedish figures welcome you from the Broadway lamp posts. Venture off main street and the old-world welcome is repeated by Dala horses at entrances to the big and little, classic and modern, well-kept homes. Incidentally, quality housing - available at remarkably affordable cost - could tempt you to make your home with us.
More than a century ago, Swedish farmer Theodore Thorson journeyed from Scandia Grove, Minnesota, seeking a good location to raise livestock. The luxuriant grass inspired him to return the following spring and rent 200 acres for a sheep farm. Other Swedes soon followed and the town of Thorson was born. In 1885, the citizens renamed Wausa after the celebrated king of Sweden, Gustavus I Vasa, changing the spelling to Wausa to protect the Swedish pronunciation and incorporate USA. The agricultural advantages discovered by Thorson continue as the economic mainstay of Wausa. Today, many people enjoy combining the Wausa lifestyle with easy commuting to larger job centers.
With a 2000 census population of 636, Wausa is an incorporated village, governed by a
board chaired by
In September of 2001, Wausa became the home of the Nebraska Child Support Call Center for the Nebraska Health and Human Services Department. This Call Center is operated by DynCorp and employs over thirty people.
Wausa, on State Highway 121, is located 75 miles west of Sioux City, Iowa, and 160 miles northwest of Omaha, Nebraska. Wausa is nine miles north of U.S. Highway 20, six miles west of U.S. 81, two miles north of NE 59 and seven miles south of NE 84.
Air Travel: Municipal airports with paved landing strips are found at the nearby towns of Bloomfield, Creighton and Hartington. United Express, a United Airlines' affiliate, stops at Yankton, South Dakota, 36 miles north, and Norfolk, Nebraska, 40 miles south, and carries passengers and freight on scheduled flights between Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota and Grand Island, Nebraska. Major air facilities available include Sioux Gateway Airport at Sioux City, Iowa, Joe Foss Field in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Eppley Air Field in Omaha.
Rail Shipping: Nebraska Northeast Railway of Osmond, Nebraska, 12 miles southwest of Wausa, ships grains and fertilizer 160 miles between South Sioux City, Nebraska, and O'Neill, Nebraska, on track purchased from Burlington Northern Railroad. There are 15 stations east and west of Wausa.
Trucking: Several trucking firms provide Wausa with various kinds of intrastate and interstate service. Truckers based in town haul livestock and commodities.

Good gracious. I feel as though I should call this episode of The Real Deal the "Leaks Edition" -- thanks to NeNe Leakes, Real Housewives of Orange County casting leaks, and Bethenny Frankel feud leaks.
Last night we saw episode three of I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding, and it's saying something very big when I'm more afraid of the bridesmaids than the bride. And who is getting fired in Orange County? If you are a housewife, are there any signs you can look out for to know whether you're on the way out?
From fashion to therapy to bridesmaids throwing down, NeNe's show is by far the most entertaining wedding spinoff I've seen on Bravo. Today I discuss why she's different, the psychology of husband and wife power plays, and the children of reality stars.
Over in Orange County, the rumor mill is swirling about who is in and who is out for next season. Will it be Alexis Bellino? Gretchen Rossi? Will Lauri Peterson come back? As someone with direct experience, I weigh in on what may be happening right now.
Finally, did you see this gossip item published today? Radar Online somehow got hold of a few private conversations held last week between me, Bethenny Frankel, and Jill Zarin. I wonder how ...
Watch my exclusive video for my response to the Radar article, NeNe, and Orange County, and tell me in the comments who you think should come back!
Do you think the RHOC will really fire two of its most popular stars?
Images via BravoTV
No to Laurie; get rid of Alexis and keep Gretchen
Did not see the piece about you and Bethenny fighting, but have often wondered if you ever got paid for the original "skinnygirl" mock ups you did for her. You may not be able to answer that, was just more or less thinking out loud.
Keep Gretchen and ditch Alexis on RHOC.
No one cares if Bethenny is fighting with Jill or Alex....its so 5 years ago! As far as Alex getting paid for her mock ups.....if Bethenny didn't use them she didn't buy them end of story...that's how that works. You can't expect to get paid for work that someone doesn't like and clearly that is not the design on Bethenny's label so she gave Alex a shot and it didn't work out end of story.
Keep Gretchen get rid of Alexis
I forgot to answer your questions!!! NO way to Lauri again. She is just mean spirited. Cant handle Gretchen and Slade, so No to them. Keep Alexis, she is funny and she was finally getting the hang of it this season.

Reader Success Story: Debt Free on $2,000 a Month
Published on - August 9th, 2009 (by J.D. Roth)
We interrupt this series of Staff Writer auditions to bring you a brief success story from a Get Rich Slowly reader. I receive several of these a month (often several a week), and sometimes wish that I had a place to share them all. Instead, I just make the time to share a handful every year.
This morning, Jay wrote to share his own tale of dedication:
Hey JD! I am very excited to tell you that I have paid off just over $12,000 in the last 11 months (I only make about $2,000/month) and am now debt free!
Thank you for your tips on saving and making the best choices! Once the psychology of my money problems got worked out, it became easy and even FUN paying my debts off ahead of schedule!
I've also started contributing to my company's pension plan (they match my contribution up to 5% of my gross pay) and even started building my emergency fund past the $500 I had set aside.
Thanks for what you do here to help so many people like me change their thinking and start making better choices!
What I usually tell these folks is: "Thanks for writing. I love hearing success stories like this. Your kind words and your inspiring story are what make writing Get Rich Slowly all worthwhile." And it's true.
Actually, now that I think about it, maybe it would be possible to erect a "Success Stories" page where I could collect these stories (or at least those that people gave me permission to share). Hm. I'll have to think about that.
Anyhow, I hope that you are well on your way to meeting your financial goals. And I hope that you're enjoying the posts from the prospective Staff Writers. I thought these auditions would make it easier for me to choose whom to bring on board, but so far that's just not the case. I still love all seven!
Hey Josh D.
The thing that really started things off for me was reading Dave Ramsy's "Total Money Makeover". He does a great job of working on the psychology of money and debt and gave me that AHA! moment that made me hate my bad debt with enough intensity that I just did whatever needed to be done to get rid of it.
Also, create a written budget and a written plan for getting out of debt / saving / investing / whatever you're trying to accomplish, and revisit it often to see if you're on track or if adjustments can be made to help you achieve you goals faster!
There are many great books out there but I suggest starting with "Total Money Makeover" and just keep reading Get Rich Slowly! JD does a great job of writing relevant posts for getting out of debt, saving, setting goals and staying on track!
JD–Maybe you can open up a reader feedback section where people can submit their stories, then you can decide to post them (or not).
Just reading some of the comments on various posts reveals some interesting stories out there in the readership.
Why not create a dashboard or tally of debt paid off by GRS readers? Helping to contribute to the total might be another motivation for others.
A forum where readers could also post their goals would be great, to allow others to help keep them on track. Making yourself accountable to others is one of the best ways I know to achieve a goal. I'm using it to stick to my low fat lifestyle but involving my friends and family.
No offense, but some things don't quite add up here. Especially if 2000/month is before taxes. This person would have to be living rent free at their parents house for one thing. Also, I have no idea how some people make 24k a year and don't do anything to change it. There are countless ways to add a little more money every week. Be a server 1 or 2 nights a week. Start a residential or small business cleaning company. I mean come one, 24k/year? I don't even see how you could survive on that let alone pay down any debt.
Uh, Ian, you could try looking at the Get Rich Slowly forums – see the link at the top right corner of the page? You sound specifically interested in the Fiscal Fitness Journals sub-forum and the Success Stories sub-forum
I'd actually like to hear more details about this story. I'm guessing that Jay is probably traveling light in life to be able to put 50% of his income toward debt payoff.
Knowing the mechanics of how it was done is really the key in these stories…
57You are correct. I am traveling pretty light right now. Trying to simplify everything down to the basics… Life's too short to worry about all the things that ultimately don't matter So, by trying to simplify my life, I have been able to throw right around half of each paycheck towards my debts!
I would love to see a success stories page! Not just for debt reduction but for hitting savings and investment goals. Hearing how people have achieved their goals keeps me motivated and makes me strive for more!
I agree with Caroline (#58). That would be incredibly motivating for me to try harder when it comes to reaching financial goals.
I like to hear about the success stories. Success stories provide a great benefit in encouragment and knowledge to help others acheive the same.
Hi!Reply to Ben post # 54 ,my husband makes $23,441.60 per year & we make it on that. I've looked for a job , but haven't found anything yet. Jobs are hard to come by now here in Ohio. Sometimes it's tough but we make it. If you have any other questions about our budget , be glad to share , e-mail me at email@example.com . Lisa
Ben – You'd be surprised at how many families are living on $2,000/month. I volunteer to prepare tax returns every year for low income families and individuals and I get a reality check each time I help one of these families. I recommend you do something that puts you in touch with how people are living who aren't in your economic peer group. LG
At #54
I personally don't do much better than 24k a year myself.
Granted I do better than that because I do try to take on other opportunities. I am constantly looking for ways to switch jobs and make more money too. But it just doesn't fall out of the sky.
I'd wager Jay probably lives in a low cost of living area like I do, shares lodging with others to make it cost very little like I do, and lives hand to mouth like I do. Would you believe I've spent less than $1000 a month before? I have.
Remember that there's only 1 job for every 3 college graduates and that figure is 2 years old, before the big crash so no telling how terrible it is now.
Linear Girl (62)–That's a valid observation! While so many are "struggling" to "get by" on $75,000 or $100,000 a year, millions are doing it on substantially less.
We're all prisoners of our paradigms!
It could really be a benefit to find make some friends in lower income groups, and especially among immigrants. We can all learn so much from them and from the ways they live on so much less money, and often live surprisingly well.
We might find that a few of the expensive props we think of as necessities aren't anything of the kind.
Hey JD, what about making a Success Story survey that folks could come fill in? Then you could ask specific questions and respondents would have a framework for telling their stories … ?
I love the idea of featuring success stories more often and more prominently on GRS. "The Complete Tightwad Gazette" has an epilogue made up entirely of success letters Amy D. received over the years, and it's by far my favorite part of an already awesome book …
Some people here have said that anyone living on $24K annually should get a second job. I just thought I'd point out that even at the new, higher federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour, $24K represents 1.6 full-time jobs. When you're earning a lot more than that it's easy to forget that not everyone else does, too, and that income could easily be the result of mulitiple jobs already.
Um – the author explains how he is managing his budget in comment #32. If you would take the time to read a little you would see that (Ben @54)….
Very well done!!!
I have a budget running on $2,000 take home as well. However that is after I contribute 16% of income to 401k etc. which is unusual for my age. I have some school loans and a mortgage (but on a LOW interest rate). My wife will be working soon after she finishes grad school.
People can adjust to their level of income with enough discipline. A high salary is not necessary to be financially ok.
Congrats to Jay! We are working the "Total Money Makeover" right now and are two months away from being debt free. My husband and I take home around $4000 a month and are paying off close to $2000 a month in debt.
Success Stories page would be great, inspirational.
I make a lot of money these days but I don't take it for granted. I don't let my lifestyle inflate to match my recent pay inflation. Instead I picked a goal, made a budget on Googles Docs Spreadsheet and then went methodically through my expenses to trim out the fat. Every few months I look again to cut expenses; sometimes opportunities for saving come up due to a fresh look at things. What I did so far is…
- cut out the premium channels on cable. Down to basic.
- cut my cell phone minutes and text message limits
- eliminated the gym membership
- donated and sold stuff to reduce my stuff to the point that I could close a rented storage
- my credit score went up so I went shopping for insurance and was able to reduce my premiums
- weatherized windows/doors for Summer/Fall which not only saved me money but I was more comfortable during the winter since moisture was retained.
- I asked a neighbor if I can pay him $10 a month to use his wireless Internet which he agreed to. So I eliminated Cable Internet. If I can learn to live on streaming TV on the Internet i may be able to eliminate my basic cable too.
I once read that a young woman who was deeply in credit card debt so she moved out of her apartment and lived in her car for nearly a year. She signed up for a one year gym membership so that in the morning after waking up in her car she could go in get a workout and then shower for the day. It was genius since she got out of debt in one year instead of ten years which would have cost her three times as much due to compounding interest against her.
The point is, if there is a will there is a way. My expenses are $2000 per month but if i really had to I could cut that more than half. If you think you have cut as much as you can than watch the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" and tell me that you are sacrificing and persevering enough.
I successfully got out of $26,000 of debt. It has changed my life and I have learned so much about myself in the process. I enjoy reading your blog.
This post is wonderful! I'm inspired by Jay's dedication. I have around $10,000 to pay off, which includes $7K car loan balance & $3,000 in credit card debt. The pay off schedule for car is Aug 2011 or 24 months, I'm sacrificing to pay off in 12 months. Blogs about getting rid of debt are well worth the read – keep it up. Quote I came across the other day on a blog, 'Life happens and money will be needed'
Congrats Janie #71, I know that feels great!
If $2k is after taxes, you can do rent & utilities for $500/mo – I know that in the DC area you can rent a room in a house for $500, so elsewhere it should be cheaper. If it is before taxes, tax rate on $24k is 15%. If it was a student loan or other item, he probably got the tax money back as a refund & threw it at his debt; or maybe earned income tax credit? Either way, this is possible.
I am on a graduate internship and I make $2010/mo after deductions, taxes, etc. But I own a home in DC and my mortgage is $1374/mo. How does someone makes any real strides in paying debt? And selling my house right now is not an option.
Wow. Found this page randomly on a Google search … count me in as your newest regular reader! Congrats, Jay – as a person in your (pre-success-story) position, your story is extremely inspiring.
Very inspiring story on becoming debt free! My family and I recently became debt free as well paying off over $90,000 of consumer debt in under 2 years using the debt snowball technique. It was by far the best thing we've ever done as a family!
