Gov. Peter Shumlin made the proposal following revelations last year that a long-time Vermont State Police employee, Sgt. James Deeghan, had been padding his overtime reports.
Deeghan recently pleaded guilty and faces up to two years in prison and the repayment of more than $200,000 from his pension over six years.
Pensions typically are based on a person's last three years of income. The legislation would guard against pensions being paid out when that income was improperly inflated.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Drivers who use hand-held cellphones and other electronic devices while driving...

"The invitations were beautiful. I received so many compliments. The process for ordering was extremely user-friendly and the service was excellent."
"I looked long and hard for just the right invitation for my son's rehearsal dinner. This card utilized two of the couple's engagement photos in such a beautiful way. I am very pleased with the outcome and put them in the mail today! Keep in mind that this size requires additional postage."
"The invitations are absolutely beautiful. They were everything I hoped for and more.

I can't tell you how much I appreciated it when I opened the box and saw them. I highly recommend these invites.

Blanket Octopus - Tremoctopus spp.
Blanket octopodes (or octopuses, not octopi!!) get their name from the appearance of the female when she is threatened. Unlike most octopuses that produce ink, when threatened the female blanket octopus unveils a net-like membrane between her arms, making her look as big as possible.
Blanket octopuses have extreme sexual dimorphism. The female can reach lengths of over two metres whereas the males are only a few mere centimetres.
Blanket octopuses also have the unusual characteristic of being immune to the stinging tentacles of the Portuguese man o' war. However, they do not feed on this creature, instead the octopuses rip off their tentacles and use them for their own defences.

Great recipe - thank you. I roasted a boneless turkey breast with olive oil, rosemary and thyme and added to the soup to 'boost' the turkey content since we didn't have any leftovers and the carcass was a bit slim on meat. My hubby and 3 yr old loved it. Will definitely make again.
This soup was awesome! Only thing I added was a little extra salt. My husband actually said "wow!" And started telling his friends how good it was! Will DEFINITELY make this again!
I made this soup using the carcass of a smoked turkey. It was great! I also accidently put in 1 tsp. of dried thyme rather than 1 pinch of dried thyme. My family loves it. I'm making it again today with 1 tsp of dried thyme. Why mess with success!? - Kay Schroden

Octuplets Mom 'Obsessed' With Kids
The woman who gave birth to octuplets this week conceived all 14 of her children through in vitro fertilization, is not married and has been obsessed with having children since she was a teenager, her mother said.
Angela Suleman told The Associated Press she was not supportive when her daughter, Nadya Suleman, decided to have more embryos implanted last year.
"It can't go on any longer," she said in a phone interview Friday. "She's got six children and no husband. I was brought up the traditional way. I firmly believe in marriage. But she didn't want to get married."
Nadya Suleman, 33, gave birth Monday in nearby Bellflower. She was expected to remain in the hospital for at least a few more days, and her newborns for at least a month.
A spokeswoman at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center said the babies were doing well and seven were breathing unassisted.
While her daughter recovers, Angela Suleman is taking care of the other six children, ages 2 through 7, at the family home in Whittier, about 15 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
She said she warned her daughter that when she gets home from the hospital, "I'm going to be gone."
Angela Suleman said her daughter always had trouble conceiving and underwent in vitro fertilization treatments because her fallopian tubes are "plugged up."
There were frozen embryos left over after her previous pregnancies and her daughter didn't want them destroyed, so she decided to have more children.
Her mother and doctors have said the woman was told she had the option to abort some of the embryos and, later, the fetuses. She refused.
Her mother said she does not believe her daughter will have any more children.
"She doesn't have any more (frozen embryos), so it's over now," she said. "It has to be."
Nadya Suleman wanted to have children since she was a teenager, "but luckily she couldn't," her mother said.
"Instead of becoming a kindergarten teacher or something, she started having them, but not the normal way," he mother said.
Her daughter's obsession with children caused Angela Suleman considerable stress, so she sought help from a psychologist, who told her to order her daughter out of the house.
"Maybe she wouldn't have had so many kids then, but she is a grown woman," Angela Suleman said. "I feel responsible and I didn't want to throw her out."
Yolanda Garcia, 49, of Whittier, said she helped care for Nadya Suleman's autistic son three years ago.
"From what I could tell back then, she was pretty happy with herself, saying she liked having kids and she wanted 12 kids in all," Garcia told the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
"She told me that all of her kids were through in vitro, and I said 'Gosh, how can you afford that and go to school at the same time?"' she added. "And she said it's because she got paid for it."
Garcia said she did not ask for details.
Nadya Suleman holds a 2006 degree in child and adolescent development from California State University, Fullerton, and as late as last spring she was studying for a master's degree in counseling, college spokeswoman Paula Selleck told the Press-Telegram.
Her fertility doctor has not been identified. Her mother told the Los Angeles Times all the children came from the same sperm donor but she declined to identify him.
Birth certificates reviewed by The Associated Press identify a David Solomon as the father for the four oldest children. Certificates for the other children were not immediately available.
The news that the octuplets' mother already had six children sparked an ethical debate. Some medical experts were disturbed to hear that she was offered fertility treatment, and troubled by the possibility that she was implanted with so many embryos.
Others worried that she would be overwhelmed trying to raise so many children and would end up relying on public support.
According to the Long Beach Press-Telegram, the family's finances are also in shambles. Angela Suleman filed for bankruptcy in March of 2008. Court records indicate she owes $984,426.30 to creditors.
The eight babies -- six boys and two girls -- were delivered by Cesarean section weighing between 1 pound, 8 ounces and 3 pounds, 4 ounces. Forty-six physicians and staff assisted in the deliveries.

I question her psych state, period.
There is a big differance between sincerely wanting a family and working toward that goal, and popping out as many pups as you can to fill a void in your life/feed an obsession.
Her mother didn't need therapy, SHE needs therpay.
Weird. Someone needs to find out who is "paying" her and why. Sounds very unethical.
as to Jen's comment…is Michael Jackson involved in this??
She is probably getting grants for going to school and using the left over money to pay for the treatments. I think that she meant that she was getting "paid to go to school."
Are birth certificates public information? I just wasn't sure. Scary.
I think everyone is missing the point here! It don't matter wh or how or why what matters is there are 8 newborn babies in this world to a mother who wanted them. That in itself is alot! Think about all the moms and dads who abandon thier single child or abuse them like the party animal in florida who killed her beautiful baby girl.
Heres a mom who cares, so think in the positive mind not the negatve and besides she is working on her masters not a fly-by-night part girl like the killer in florida!!
Think about it that way for a moment!!!!
1. The physician who performed the invitro should have his license revoked.
2. The children should perhaps be adopted to parents who can care for them
3. How did Kaiser become involved. It has to be from someone's employment. They do no do medicaid.
I have been an operating room nurse for 40 years. During that time I have been and OR director and director of maternal-child health. This entire event 'smells of ethical scandals'.
Shame on all of us.
Re: Mike-I think you are missing the point. This is woman with no job and no partner who has 14 children she cannot support. Yeah, I have no doubt she wanted them, but it isn't fair that the CA taxpayers will wind up footing the bill.
As far as her working towards her M.A. that proves nothing. Instead of being a "professional student", she needs to get a job to support those kids.
It is incredibly unfair that the children were brought into the world in this manner. Children deserve to have a Mother, and Father. It is tragic that women actually plan to be single parents. It is unfair to the children. Accidental pregnancy does occur, and the Mother does not deserve the stigma they once were forced to bear. However, to purposely become a single parent is very selfish. The Doctor should lose his licence due to his irresponsible actions. The Mother should undergo extensive Psychiatric treatment. Hopefully all of the babies will be healthy, and life will be good to them. They certainly didn't ask for any of this.
Ladystar, you have got to be kidding! What is your problem with single mothers??? Unfair to the children? A good mother raises her children just fine, thank you. More over most mothers are single parents, whether they are married or not. I'm fairly certain you just slipped through some freaking time warp because your sentiments are outdated - hell they are carbon dated! Single mothers do just fine. My kids are very happy their father is out of the house, now we don't have to be afraid all the time. Just because a couple look respectable and happy, have a nice house and a good income doesn't mean what goes on in private is healthy or safe, TRUST ME. I don't agree with what this woman has done but honestly, you need to get over yourself.
She should be arrested and thrown in jail. Oh well, OBAMA will pay for them with my tax money.
This so called fertility doctor should lose his license. He is a disgusting greedy charlaton. Stealing money from a obviously very very disturbed woman. Now these poor poor babies are put in danger from this obvious sick sick woman. And no father to protect them. And this Quack doctor is a Disgrace to the word doctor. What a money hungry creep.
This woman's story is almost certainly a fabrication. Six IVF procedures in 7 years? All IVF procedures 100% successful? No means to pay for any of these IVF procedures? A doctor returning 8 embryos to a uterus at once and all of them implanting?
No, it is far more likely that this woman treated herself with fertility medication, without the aid of any doctor. Possibly she was hoping for a spectacular number of babies, with an eye toward attention, money or both.
When I first heard the news I thought something was wrong because no one was giving any info on the parents. NO WONDER!!!! How totally irresponsible! If the info is correct she has ruined her parents lives by relying on their finances to cover her selfish desires without considering them at all. With all her schooling in child development
and counseling she had to be sitting in the back of the class with this idea! I for one have given much thought in the raising of my family so I could afford the ability to raise them without any help from the gov., or outside family. We need to realize our desire to have many children should only become real if we can provide fully on our own and not rely on someone else for food,shelter etc. A true mother puts her children first not her selfish feelings.
This woman has some serious issues. Someone above commented about how this woman really "wants" kids and so many parents are neglecting theirs. Excuse me, but how do you think this woman can possibly give any quality of attention, not to mention financial support, to 14 kids?? I think this woman should be sterilized and child protective services should be checking in on this family at least once a month. No woman in her right mind would have 14 kids on purpose. Being a woman this is my point of view.
RE: Mike
Human beings are not endangered species - the world is busting at the seems with excess and poverty. Orphanages are full of kids who need loving homes. It's completely messed up that a bunch of mad scientists are 'creating' children to be cared for by an obviously crazy person - and even worse, one without a job, spouse or partner.
People used to have 10 or 12 kids all the time. It is not impossible. My grandfather and grandmother each had 9 and 12 siblings. As long as she is a good mother, then it is nobody's business. You guys should not be up in arms about it. It is not illegal to have multiple children. By the way, many women are obsessed with having many babies. Get over yourselves and quit being haters. Let her alone. Instead of being negative, send her some positive advice. She is going to need it.
She should give seven of them up for adoption-maybe eight
Melissa —- Yes its true people use to have large families but they did not have them artificially and expect the gov. to take care of them. What is the background of the birth parent? There is some talk that she and her parents are not citizens, if so I say they return to their own country and let their country foot the bill.
kathy, I almost said the same thing, but you said it for me. right on.

It's Christmas Eve. I'm on Tumblr.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. — Coach Carter (via imjonesyy)

Rated 4 out of 5�by Workout man Nice overall. I purchased several of these cases at varying times for my basement gym. Upon installation I noticed that some squares were larger/smaller or not cut exactly the same way. The interlocks would not line up on all pieces. Frustrating to say the least. Need to buy more packages to find the ones that work together. Lots of trial and error. I assume these tiles are cut using computers and can not understand why they vary so much. Other then that issue, the mats seem durable and are comfortable on the feet. Just plan to buy a lot of packages, use the ones that match, and return the others. November 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Mike1180 Not professional grade, but easier to handle I bought two sets of these for a cage and bench, and they are lightweight and fit together nicely. With only 2 weeks of use, they are already denting in spots where I leave bar bells, but the depression is minimal and not impacting the overall function. So, in summary, they are not as heavy or durable as single piece professional grade gym mats, but they are a heck of a lot easier to handle and should be fine for a home gym. July 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by CKKB2011 Great product for great value! I bought this product about a month ago and we just installed it this past weekend. We wanted to get something that would be comfortable to work out on, easy to install, and protect the carpet underneath. This product was extremely easy to install; it took about 15 minutes to install 2 packages. It looks nice, is easy to clean, and so comfortable to work out on. I would highly recommend this product, and feel that it was a great value and we look forward to using this for many years. June 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Hkalliva Fitness Mat for decent price I bought the mats to cover my floors in the workout room and they look good. The only issue was that one set was a little thicker than the rest so it is slightly raised and does not look completely even. June 18, 2013

Last year Confidence Is Beautiful female readers posted a picture on Facebook & Twitter of themselves with no makeup on to give hope and inspiration to women everywhere to get in touch with their natural beauty.
Ladies always ask me for tips and advice on how to walk in high heels. Rule #1 for walking in high heels is confidence!
I want you to think about one of your favorite pairs of stilettos in your closet. Maybe you can think back to special occasions in your life when you wore those shoes. Even a more casual event can become special by putting on a pair of jeans and throwing on stilettos. I can think back to many occasions of this moment when I am getting ready for the night, makeup is done, hair is ready, slip that little dress on and then test drive those stiletto shoes in the mirror before heading out. The shoe tops off the look and you know it will be a good night. Maybe it is not that one pair of stilettos that brings back more and more memories but maybe multiple pairs.
But no matter how much fun those stiletto nights were, no matter how confident you were, no matter how good you may or may not be at walking in those stilettos, every woman who wears high heels whether you admit it or not has been in pain while walking in stilettos at some point in life. This International Women's Day let us make our stiletto shoes a symbol of a women's life.
For March 8th 2013 Women from all over the world will be posting a photo on Facebook and Twitter of them walking in high heels to symbolize a women's life. #ConfidenceIsBeautiful
Men are invited to participate by either posting a photo of their women in her shoes or ladies if you want your man to know what it's like to wear high heels this is your chance to put him in your shoes for once.

members have filed papers with the state nominating the endangered Great Hall-Long Hall in for historic status. However, that nomination does not protect those buildings from being demolished.
The California Office of Historic Preservation will likely consider the Great Hall-Long Hall application at its January 2013 meeting. In the meantime, Francisco Contreras of the city's Planning Department said that the city could, if it chose to, continue with its plan to use a wrecking ball on the buildings as part of the .
"I don't think the [nomination] process precludes the city from moving forward with plans for Plummer Park," Contreras told Weho Patch. "There are active permits [for Plummer Park] that were in place before the nomination was submitted."
As part of its , the city planned to construct a 179-space subterranean-parking garage in the center of the park. Great Hall-Long Hall were slated for demolition as part of the digging for that underground parking.
halting construction that was set to begin in February 2012. The city has said it will hold more public meetings about the park and look at alternatives to the current plan before proceeding. However, the city has not yet scheduled any such public meetings.
Funding for the project is also now uncertain due to the state-mandated dissolution of the city's redevelopment agency which was partially financing the project.
Even though the wrecking ball still looms overhead, Stephanie Harker, who spearheaded the group, told Weho Patch she is "cautiously optimistic." She hopes the nomination will go through, the city will honor it and then rehabilitate the aging buildings.
Historic Buildings
The conjoined Great Hall-Long Hall were constructed in 1938 by the Work Projects Administration (WPA), a U.S. government-funded Depression-era building initiative. Designed to create jobs for out-of-work Americans, the WPA built thousands of bridges, schools, parks and other projects across the nation.
Great Hall-Long Hall are the only WPA buildings in West Hollywood, two of only a handful of WPA projects in Los Angeles County.
"Many people in our community feel that [Great Hall-Long Hall] are important historic structures from Roosevelt's era," reported Harker. "They are Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture; they are still functional and they are in the middle of an historic neighborhood. Demolishing them should never have been an option as far as Protect Plummer Park is concerned. The buildings should be designated and carefully restored."
Protect Plummer Park member Jennifer Dunbar, LEED AP, who has an historic-preservation architectural background, filed the detailed paperwork for the nomination with the Office of Historic Preservation in late June, submitting original drawings of the buildings, newspaper articles from the period, numerous photographs, etc.
The OHP sent notice to the city about the nomination in late July. If it chooses to, the city has 60 days to respond, Contreras said. This information was made public last week when the city informed the Historic Preservation Commission of the nomination.
HPC Was Not Involved
Even though the city's Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) was shown the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) regarding Plummer Park, it wasn't involved in the final decisions regarding the Plummer Park master plan. HPC and the city's other boards and commissions were only allowed limited input into the project.
"When HPC reviewed the draft EIR for Plummer Park several years ago, some members, including myself, expressed dismay at the proposed removal of Great Hall-Long Hall, as well as alterations to Fiesta Hall," HPC member Gail Ostergren told Weho Patch, " but other priorities prevailed in the final plan."
Contreras explained that the City Council understood that the buildings were important resources, but said, "They also heard from the residents that the need for a remodeled park with more green space was an overriding concern." Thus, the City Council voted in 2010 to proceed with the demolition as part of the park redesign.
Harker noted that the city had been calling Great Hall-Long Hall "cultural resources" for years until it "wanted to demolish them, then they started calling them 'outdated buildings.' "
As recently as August in the meeting agenda for the Successor Agency to the dissolved redevelopment agency, the buildings were referred to as "outdated building" (item 8.a).
Praise from HPC Members
Even though HPC isn't involved in the final fate of Great Hall-Long Hall, Ostergren praised the nomination of the buildings.
"I'm happy to see that the Protect Plummer Park group has organized and educated itself about the process and has submitted a National Register nomination," Ostergren said. "If nothing else, it demonstrates an increasing awareness of the value of preserving West Hollywood's historic resources. The city's preservation record will improve as community concern grows and residents demand it."
HPC member Bruce Kaye, was also happy to learn of the nomination.
"Preservation issues are ultimately decided in the political realm," Kaye told Patch. "Community participation and engagement, however, plays a key role in our politicians' appraisal of a preservation controversy. The Protect Plummer Park group is a good example of a community learning how to engage in the political process and to powerfully advocate for their interests and concerns . . . their submissions are of the highest professional standards and their presentations represent compelling community testimony."
However, Ostergren confirmed that the nomination may have come too late to do any good.
"Listing on the National Register is largely honorific, and in and of itself affords no protections from alteration or demolition," Ostergren said. "Those protections come through the local zoning ordinances. Because the CEQA review had already been completed and the EIR and project plan approved for Plummer Park prior to submission of the nomination, there is nothing to stop the city from legally proceeding with the demolition of Great Hall-Long Hall."
Kaye shared her fears about the demolition, but also holds out hope.
"Their National Register nomination may be a Hail Mary, but you have to give them credit for not giving up until time expires and the game is finally and truly over," Kaye said. "Like other West Hollywood residents, I'm leaning forward in my seat, awaiting a now uncertain outcome."

How do we get students to adopt specific classroom procedures without the use of negative consequences (punishment) or rewards?
This is the continuation of a discussion I posted previously. In response to the initial posting several respondents suggested changing the system to involve more student choice in terms of what is studied. Others suggested that the classroom model is the root of the problem. While we could debate both of these issues, the fact remains that the system in which my students and I work is one that requires students to show a given level of mastery in a given set of skills that neither they or I select. Students who do not show the required level of mastery will still be moved on to the next course in the sequence, however they may also be required to concurrently take a support class to help them acquire mastery in the previous set of skills. This support class comes at the expense of taking an elective which they would probably find more interesting. Given these conditions, it is my goal to help as many as possible acquire mastery of the required skills during the initial class.
With that clarification in mind, I would like to again pose the initial question: I have an interest in having my middle school students use a particular organization system for their class materials. Having a uniform system allows peers to more readily help each other stay organized, allows parents to more easily check on their child's progress, and allows the class to more efficiently move through our daily transitions. The question, how do I get all students on board without the use of if-then rewards or punishments? I know from my experience (12 years at middle school) that some students will be oppositional and some will be unmotivated. While these represent the exception, not the rule, they are often the students most in need of the organizational structure. Additionally, it is the parents of these students who most often need a simple to follow structure for supporting their child's educational process.

Paul PieAug 3 2012: I am sure your system has it's merits and is quite a reasonable approach, however, many of your students would probably prefer to find their own system.
When reading your explanation of what the students need I immidiately felt myself become one of those "oppositional" students.
I went through most of my middle-school and high-school years without ever taking notes at all. And the idea of having all that stuff was just revolting to me. Whenever a teacher came up with one of your ideas I'd flat out reject it.
That of course lead to some frantic scrambling for notes just before exams BUT:
Me and my friends always proved to be quite ressourceful in organizing ourselves in that time.
Now surely, my option isn't the way to go but realize that your students most likely are capable of getting themselves organized. But if you impose a system which might work for you, you will antagonize your students. Why not take some more time and help your students come up with their own system? Personalized, suited to their behaviour and way of learning.
Because all these tests and reports you've thought up sound horribly annoying. It sounds like one of those tight run businesses straight out of employee's hell. And in my puberty I'd have been the first to draw a dick on those "what I am thinking about now?" papers and chuck them in the bin.
I can see you have only their best interest in mind and never meant for your system to generate such a reaction but I thought it might help to hear the most antagonistic opinion. No offense ment.
In the end, and here I totally agree with you, what counts is that the students learn their skills, hopefully enjoy them and get more personal freedom in choosing what they eant to do next. They way they go about it shouldn't matter.
Aug 5 2012: Paul - You're right that I don't want students scrambling at the last minute to get organized. While I know that may work for some students, it usually doesn't work for the ones least inclined but most in need of organization. These students need role models for how to be a successful learners and the best role models are their peers.
As for the horribly boring tests and reports, those are not items I've "thought up". Those are tests required by our district and reports that outline students' success on the required tests. I can have whatever opinion I want to about the tests, but I don't get to decide not to give them.
Finally, the goal behind the "What I am thinking about" paper is to help students gauge their level of engagement. Whatever they learn in the future will take engagement. If they can become more self-aware as to how well they engage, they will be better able to avoid the things that become distractions.
The most important skills these students need to learn is how to be learners. It seems professionally irresponsible to have a set of standards for language arts, math and science, but to leave the fundamental skills of how to be a successful learner for students to discover of their own.

I'm shocked actually, I had an idea but I never thought that without having Kyuubi inside Minato could go into BM mode, that really helps Minato to go up in top ranks, he can now IMO defeat Itachi and Sasuke no problems, since the normal Susanoo is not a problem with BM mode, I mean BM Rasengan could break the regular Susanoo.
So as it is right now.
1. Edo Madara.
2. Hashirama.
3. Obito.
4. Naruto.
5. Nagato.
6. Minato.
7. Itachi.
8. Sasuke....
You get the idea, he can go against people who has defense, such as Susanoo.
But don't get ahead of yourselves, he is nowhere near Madara, Obito or Hashirama. Don't start fanboying.

It would be nice if they actually would build the car that they display at these shows instead of the poor copies that they usually wind up manufacturing. I used to go to the New York Auto show every year. They do these concepts to gage people's reaction to them. Everybody's like Yeah build it build it! Then they change it around to make it comply with everything legal or it winds up being to expensive and we wind up with a cheap shadow of what the concept actually was. The Pontiac transport was a good example. People loved the concept, then they built the thing and it wasn't even close.

Where are the simple hand crank window, 5 speed, only radio basic cars that we could buy for less than 9 grand after taxes !! Where are those cars ? Not the overly automated and technology dependent computers on wheels !!! Remember the hyundai accent of the 90's ? we need a automotive flashback to the cars of the 90's back to simplicity !
