Jarboe Knows RapAugust 1, 2008 – 3:23 pm by McD
Josh Jarboe is a freshman wide receiver at the University of Oklahoma with a bit of a sketchy past. Now he's YouTube-famous. I don't know much about "grillz" and "fine bitches named Sonia," but I think the Josh Jarboe guy might be on to something. Here he is showing off his "skillz":
Darn you Josh Jarboe and your sparkling wordplay. I especially enjoyed when he rhymed "HALO" with "halo." How DID he think of that? Did you know he's from Atlanta? Good job by The Lost Ogle for their valiant attempt to transcribe the lyrics too.
There's a bit of controversy surrounding Mr. Jarboe for this particular freestyle, and not just because there's white people in the background of the video. Alas, when black people start talking about guns – especially when they have a weapons charge in their past – the white man's media goes into freak out mode. See Iverson, Allen. We're not members of the media, but we'll admit we find Mr. Jarboe a little intimidating. But not in a racialist way. Some of our best blog-friends are black. In fact, the background on our site used to be black.
I do know it sucks to be Bob Stoops right now. More than usual, anyway. Between constantly losing in January, quarterbacks (not) dealing drugs, Phil Loadholt getting arrested and this, he's had a lot of 'splaining to do recently. Big XII media day is next Wednesday and he's gonna get enough questions about this to fill the Red River. For example:
Coach Stoops, did you know a recruit with gun charges on his record, who was expelled from his high school and got his diploma online, would bring you bad press once he arrived in Norman?
I'm all for second chances, so I don't think anything major should happen to Josh Jarboe just for spitting hot fire on the track. Hell, he brought a gun to school, got expelled, and still got to come to college. OU's gotta see something in him (bitches from here to Brazil?) because the last thing they want is their players bringing negative attention to the program.
And last, we must salute the white guy who jumps into the back of the video and starts doing some kind of head nod before running back off-screen. Hopefully someone can figure out if that's an OU player and who it might be. Either way, we salute you, Mr. Random White Guy Trying To Be "Down" With The Hip Hop. We should all try that hard to cross racial and cultural barriers. Well done. Well done indeed.
UPDATE–It seems Bob Stoops isn't a fan of Josh Jarboe's stylings either, since he dismissed him from the team Friday afternoon. It's sad this wild ride ended like it has, but it's probably the right decision from OU's perspective, at least. This never happens if Jarboe didn't already have a gun charge on his record. Oh well. We'd like to take this moment to officially invite Mr. Jarboe to transfer to Indiana University as well. He'd be right at home with the Cream and Crimson, since the Crimson and Cream of OU hates rap. He wouldn't even have to change his wardrobe. — ed.

Consortium promoting North Kitsap as state's 'Sanctuary Shore'
KINGSTON — The North Kitsap Tourism Consortium has announced a new campaign and branding strategy to help increase tourism in North Kitsap County.
The effort re-brands the area as "Washington's Sanctuary Shore" with each of the area's six communities — Kingston, Bainbridge Island, Poulsbo, Hansville, Port Gamble, and Suquamish — playing a distinct role.
Created for the consortium by renowned travel expert Roger Brooks, the new campaign is intended to help differentiate the North Kitsap Peninsula as a unique destination for day trips and overnight stays.
There are also elements that encourage local residents to keep as much of their money here in the local community, thus encouraging economic growth by strengthening existing businesses and potentially creating small business opportunities.
Brooks, who came up with the concept of "Washington's Sanctuary Shore" after a year of work with the consortium and the communities it represents, explained the concept this way:
"If there was ever a place that breathed 'sanctuary,' this is the place and it starts when you get on the ferry (from Seattle or Edmonds)," he said. "Fifty-four percent of the people in the United States are very concerned with the stress in their lives. For those on the other side of the water, the answer to relieving that was just 30 minutes away."
"Washington's Sanctuary Shore" is meant to serve as an umbrella moniker for each of the area's towns and communities. Each, in turn, will adopt their own identity under the "sanctuary" theme and will work together, through the consortium, to create packages and marketing campaigns to entice tourists to the area.
While the individual community identities are still being worked out, some have already been decided upon. For example, Bainbridge Island is planning to focus on its culinary and food-related attributes, while Kingston wants to create an atmosphere for families and children under the name of "Forest and Cove Adventures."
"The North Kitsap Peninsula really is the perfect sanctuary," said Nancy Langwith, who led the consortium during the campaign creation.
"Serene waterfront beauty, charming towns, rejuvenating activities — there's something here for everyone. We're a diverse set of communities and the goal here is to use this to our advantage."
As a part of this campaign, the consortium has adopted a new logo. Plans are in place to update its website to reflect the "Washington's Sanctuary Shore" concept, which will also be tied into the consortium's social media and newsletter efforts. The new website can be found at www.wasanctuaryshore.com.
Formed in May 2011, the consortium is a collaborative effort by leaders from the group's partner communities, which include Kingston, Poulsbo, Hansville, Bainbridge Island, and Port Gamble as well as the Suquamish Tribe and Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe.
The consortium was formed to more effectively promote the area's diverse cultures, many land and water trails, beautiful scenery, and multitude of tourism and outdoor adventure options.

Syracuse, NY - Mitchell LaForce was facing sentencing in a DWI case last week when County Judge Tony Aloi asked Assistant District Attorney Mary Gorman if the prosecution had anything to say.
Before Gorman could reply, LaForce began offering an apology to the court for his conduct.
Aloi politely asked LaForce to wait his turn to speak as the court had to hear first from the prosecution and the defense lawyer.
"Keep that thought," the judge suggested, noting it was good to hear LaForce starting out with an apology.
When it came his time to speak, LaForce offered an apology for the apology.
"Sorry to jump the gun," he told Aloi. The judge said there was no problem, he was willing to hear an apology in court any time.
Citing an issue with his mother's health, LaForce then asked for a sentencing break that would cut his jail time by about 40 days. But Aloi declined, noting he had an elderly mother himself.
LaForce should have been thinking about his mother before getting in trouble, the judge said.
Aloi then went forward and sentenced LaForce to one year in the Onondaga County Correctional Facility in Jamesville to be served concurrently with a 10-month sentence the defendant is serving out of City Court for another DWI.

Snakk Media, the latest brainchild of Hyperfactory co-founder Derek Handley, wants to raise up to $2 million through a share purchase plan near the bottom of an independent adviser report's valuation range.
The Auckland-based company will sell shares at 12 cents apiece, a 20 per cent discount to the average trading price over the past 30 days, and near the lower end of the 10.9 cents to 20.6 cents range attributed to the stock by London-based Edison Investment Research. The research house had difficulty valuing Snakk due to the early stage of its existence, and said removing a 25 per cent bid premium would put the top end of the range at 15.5 cents.
See the capital raising announcement to the NZX here.
"The company is at an early stage of its development and valuation is highly subjective," the Edison report said.
"In our view, these methodologies fail to reflect management's ambitions to realise the group's underlying potential."
The Edison report highlights the difficulties analysts have in valuing technology-based companies, a month after cloud-based accounting software firm Xero passed the billion dollar value by market capitalisation before it even turned a profit.
The Snakk offer will be available to shareholders registered by before the close of business on May 1, and will be open from May 6 to May 21.
Snakk plans to use to the funds to expand into new regions, grow its sales team, add new technology and look at strategic investment opportunities, it said in a statement.
The shares listed on the NZX at 6.5 cents last month in a compliance listing, meaning no funds were raised, and have since climbed to 15 cents.
Snakk's third quarter sales accelerated to $1.44 million in the final three months of 2012 from $686,000 a year earlier, exceeding the $1.22 million it made in the first six months of the financial year.
The company makes money by aggregating publishers' ad space on mobile devices and matching it to advertisers' demand.

Overall aim of the England Athletics International Programme
England Athletics will field international teams in a variety of events throughout the track and field season. The primary aim of selections for these teams will be to contribute to the development of potential Olympic athletes via way of exposure to international competition and environment. The secondary purpose of the selections will be to enable the best athletes in England to compete internationally. Upwardly mobile, developing athletes of any age will be considered for inclusion in international competition and some emphasis will be placed on the Under 23 age group.
Competition Programme
England Athletics will work with British Athletics to identify inclusive competition opportunities for both the indoor and outdoor seasons seeking to cause a minimum of clashes which may cause problems for athletes.
Initial Athlete contact from England Athletics
The England Competition Programme with selection dates will be put on the England Athletics website as soon as possible. National Event Managers and England Athletic staff will be asked to nominate new talent that is progressing to international level. BA Performance Managers and National Coach Mentors will be emailed a full list of competition opportunities and will be expected to let the selectors know the competition requirements of their athletes before the selection dates. National Coach Mentors will inform Head of Teams and Competitions of athletes requirements.
Team Management
It is the aim that all England Athletics international teams that team management opportunities will be offered to volunteers where possible, with an aim that 50 percent of team management will come from outside the full time professional EA/BA ranks. National Coach Mentors will work with the coaches they are working with to identify potential team managers and offer international coaching opportunities through the Head of Teams and Competitions where appropriate. Full support will be offered to all new team managers, under the direction of the lead coach for each team and feedback will be offered to all team staff after each competition. All team managers will be expected to feedback to personal coaches on the performances and other observations of athletes within 48 hours of returning to the UK. Nationality will not play a part in the selection of Team Managers.
Collation of nominations
England Head of Teams and Competitions will collate team nominations for the final selection. Nominations will be ranked in order of priority before being presented to the final England selection panel.
England Selection panel
Selection panel to be drawn from:

Jones ranked as top defensive tackle on NFL.com
(WBNG Binghamton) Former Johnson City standout and now Penn State defensive tackle DaQuan Jones has been named the top senior DT in the country by NFL.com's Gil Brandt.
Here's what Brandt had to say about Jones on the website:
"The play of the 6-foot-3 1/2, 330-pound Jones was a big reason why the Nittany Lions won eight games during the 2012 season. He is a strong player with good speed (5.15 seconds in the 40-yard dash) for the position."
Earlier this month Jones was named to the Outland Trophy Watchlist, which is an award given to the top interior lineman in the country. Jones and the Nittany Lions kick off the season against Syracuse at MetLife Stadium on August 31.

Hi All I was looking at a CQ magazine and saw a picture of a Raibeam tri-bander. It is on a 12 foot boom, and looks like the spacing from the driven element to reflector is about 6 feet, and from the 20 meter driven element to the end of the boom looks like 6 feet. The 10 and 15 meter antennas are on the other end of the boom. Between the 20 meter elements is the 15 meter reflector and between the 10 meter elements is the 15 meter reflector. It looks like it would be pretty easy to duplicate, but I was wondering how the antenna would work with the elements all intertwined like that. Anyone have any info on the Raibeam?? 73 Tom W7WHY -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/towertalk Submissions: email@example.com Administrative requests: email@example.com Problems: firstname.lastname@example.com

WASHINGTON, June 23 (UPI) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall of Pro-Pet-brand adult daily vitamin supplement tablets for dogs because of possible contamination.
The FDA said the United Pet Group of Cincinnati initiated the voluntary recall of all unexpired lots of the tablets due to possible salmonella contamination.
The recalled product was sold nationally in 100-count white plastic bottles with a light blue label. Laboratory testing indicated only one lot was contaminated with salmonella bacteria, but the company said it was recalling all unexpired lots of the product "out of an abundance of caution."
Pets with salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting, the FDA said. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals and humans.
Consumers can contact the company for additional information at 800-645-5154, Extension 3.

"They're a whole lot better than slug bait," she says.
That caught me off guard. I've never heard of using coins to control the pesky mollusks, but Larson says her hostas are "so big I don't know what to do with them."
Kiddingly, I told her to enjoy them.
Larson overheard someone talking about using pennies and started doing it four to five years ago. She put them around her hostas and has left them there. For annuals, she gathers up the pennies when she pulls out the plants and redistributes them in spring when she plants.
"I do day care and the kids love it," she says. "They pick them up and then throw them around again."
I guess it makes sense since copper deters slugs. Have you tried it?

When Central Dauphin High School basketball player Devin Thomas broke the backboard Thursday night during a slam dunk, it electrified this region and even made national TV.
People of various ages, races and schools were talking about it.
But how much are moments such as that worth?
Budgets are tight.
While few schools are talking about cutting any sports entirely, many districts are once again contemplating "pay to play" where students who participate in sports and other after-school activities would have to pay a fee.
At first glance, a fee doesn't sound outrageous. Palmyra and West Shore School Districts charge $30.
It's an amount that is feasible for the vast majority of families. It's also an amount that is similar to the tax increase many middle-class taxpayers are having to chip in next year.
No one denies the value of extracurriculars.
For some students, it is a key motivation to stay in school — whether they are playing a musical instrument, training for the Science Olympiad or training on a varsity athletic team.
But these activities cost money, and while Pennsylvania schools have many legal mandates they must follow, they are not legally required to provide athletics, clubs and band. That's why districts are taking a fresh look at the budgets for these activities.
Schools have to get creative with their budgets, but there are repercussions to introducing fees.
Our fear is that once the fees start, where do they end?
While $30 might be acceptable, how quickly does that fee become $100, an amount that is a bigger hurdle for some families and might end up dissuading students from participating, especially considering that besides fees, students have to buy proper equipment, clothing and often do extra fundraising on top of that.
What about students involved in more than one activity or sport, potentially paying hundreds of dollars in fees?
As Tim Rimpfel, longtime head coach of the Cumberland Valley High School football program, said, "When we start with pay to play, we start to chip away at the program."
And the reality is that even a $100 sports activity fee would only generate about $130,000 at CV, a drop in the bucket for schools trying to close multimillion dollar gaps.
Then there's the question about other extracurriculars: Do members of the Chess Club and Spanish Club have to pay a fee?
Is it the same fee that football players and band members pay even though these activities are clearly more expensive?
As more and more schools go down the fee route, it's time for direction from the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, the group overseeing athletics in the state, and the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
These organizations should, at minimum, set basic guidelines. Are fees acceptable? If so, should there be a limit?
The goals at the end of the day for any extracurricular should be fun, enrichment and broad participation.
While it's a shame it has come to needing "pay to play" to fund extracurriculars, it would be worse to eliminate programs entirely.
But fees are no slam-dunk revenue source, and school boards should be weary of charging much more than $50 or the programs they are trying to save might end up shattering like that backboard Devin Thomas recently encountered.

Along with diet and exercise, treatment to lower cholesterol may include the B vitamin niacin combined with other drugs, such as statins. Niacin is available by prescription, and over-the-counter as a dietary supplement. (The dietary supplement form is not recommended for lowering cholesterol.) Take niacin only under a doctor's guidance.
Niacin helps lower triglyceride levels and increase High-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good" cholesterol, which carries fat away from arteries. It also helps reduce the production of Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol.
Some formulations cause skin flushing, which can be controlled by changing the dosage or time of day taken, taking niacin with food, or trying a different drug combination. Large doses of niacin over a long time can cause liver damage. Because of possible side effects and potential interactions with other medicines and supplements, work closely with your doctor when taking niacin.
The dietary supplement niacin should not be used to lower cholesterol. It is not regulated by the FDA.

Designers decided to channel Annie Hall and dress women in menswear inspired ensembles for Spring. A perennial trend, there is simply nothing as sexy as a woman in a man's clothing. In my opinion the masculinity just highlights the femininity of the wearer, and the kind of confidence needed to join the boys club is drop-dead gorgeous.

Trend Report: Neon
For that futuristic wow-factor, nothing really beats neon. Perfect for nights out but also as day wear, designers went bold and bright in a rainbow of electric hues.
A fresh way to wear neon is in one bold swatch as seen above. Of course, neon accessories can take any outfit from drab to club-kid party-ready. So pick a color that looks great on you, and turn it up in a neon.
One caveat is to keep the look modern, keep the lines clean. With a bold statement such as neon there's no need to add glitter and frills to the piece. Although, I will confess, I'm loving a neon mixed with the tutti-frutti patterns or polka dots for an eccentric look.

Trend Report: Tassel Belts
A fun accessory with a nod to the Orient, the tassel belts, in obi or skinny styles were a perfect compliment to the decadent 70s wear.
The only rules to wearing these belts is to keep it at your natural waist (for figure flattery reasons) and wear them with a heaping dose of confidence.
Trend Report: Orange
One of the punchiest and hottest hues for spring is coral's close cousin, orange. While all of the zesty colors are definitely in for summer (think grapefruit pink, lemon yellow, lime green…) orange has been popping up everywhere.
Unlike coral however, this can be one tricky shade to pull off, and while it tends to look best on chocolate or porcelain skin tones where the color can really pop, with a little help anyone can pull it off.
For warm skin tones, look for yellow based oranges such as the dress on the far left.
For cool skin tones, try a red or blue based orange, such as the dress in the middle.
Don't know what your skin tone is? Check out our post here.
And as always, accessories are a great option. I still fondly remember an orange clutch that I took everywhere last summer (and later went AWOL at a little cafe in August. Sigh.) hopefully I'll find a suitable replacement this season.
And just a personal preference, stay away from black. There's no need to bring on the Halloween references. Instead pair with neutrals (orange and dove grey look stunning together) or go bold with poppy brights.

Trend Report: Tropical Prints
While we always see florals for spring ("Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking." Thank you, Miranda Priestly) this season we are also seeing lots of fabulously tutti-frutti patterns.
Wear these patterns loud and proud, either by themselves as a statement piece, or try your hand at mixing them with other patterns such as polka-dots and stripes. Either way, they're sure to get you in a summer afternoon mood.

Trend Report: Bra Tops
So this is definitely one trend that your mom is going to hate. After a few seasons of crop tops, designers have upped the ante and debuted the bra top.
Too keep this look from being too hoochy, pair it with a full skirt or slouchy pants that cover the knee and cover up on top with a cardigan or jacket.
So how do you pull this off if you don't have a set of flat abs?
You have a several different options:
My favorite is wearing a high waisted skirt with a more substantial bra top. That way, the only flash of skin that's showing is a little bit of the rib cage in between the top of the skirt and your top. Tres cheeky chic.
Or you can layer a tank top underneath, or a very drapey, loose tank over so that a little peek of a lacey or decorative bra top peeks out.
Or pair it with the sheer trend and wear a sheer top or button down over your bra top.
So don't worry, there's no need to wear this piece by itself, instead use it as a tool for creating cute, layered styles.

Trend Report: Tea Skirts
Am I the only person who is excited for the return of longer skirts? I have a few maxi dresses that are the equivalent of pajamas to me that I can wear to class and work, so I'm super stoked that they are back in style. Time to buy up a few more!
The only difference this time around is that a new, midi-style skirt has been introduced. Somewhere in between knee length and maxi, the skirt typically ends at the ankle or at the calf and hasn't been in fashion since the '50s, but welcome back!
I know that many girls are very wary of longer skirts, believing that they can make them appear stumpy or big, but I'm here to show you a few tricks that will keep you looking sleek and stylish. So who's ready for some skirts that we can bend over and sit down in without worrying about flashing everyone?
How to Wear a Midi
Repeat after me girls, "the midi is my best friend". While maxi skirts do tend to swallow up smaller people, by showing a bit of ankle you get the same effect as a longer skirt with all of the figure flattery of a knee length skirt. So if you were turned off by the maxi-skirt last season, definitely give a midi a try.
It's all in the cut. As I've mentioned before, for maximum flattery you want a skirt that hits either just above the ankle bone or just below the calf muscle. This draws attention to your slimmest parts making you appear slimmer.
Try a high-waisted style and heels. By raising up the waist line (and again, highlighting a smaller spot on curvy girls. If you have a belly, adjust to your smallest point) and raising you up on heels, we create the illusion of super-duper long legs. The eye assumes that from the waist band to the ground is all leg, so we'll use that to our advantage.
And for fuller styles, keep the tops fitted and show a little skin to balance out this demure look.

Trend Report: Color Blocking
There's just something about spring that brings out all of the peacocks of fashion. So one trend that we saw on the runways was color, color and more color! Even more trendy was putting all of those colors together in one outfit in large bold swatches, aka color blocking.
So how do you pull of color blocking? There's really no figure flattery rules, just pick three or four of your favorite colors (preferably complimentary colors such as blue and orange so that they really pop) and pile them on!
But here's a few guide-lines to get you started:
Stick with solids, as patterns+crazy colors = crazy lady. If you have a loud personality go for it, but if you're new to wearing lots of color stick with solid colors.
Buy clothing that is already color blocked such as the dress above. Put it on and voila! Easiest color blocking ever.
Still color shy? Try adding one or two black or white pieces to ground your look, as seen on the far right. That way it isn't a full body look, but you still have the color blocking effect.

Trend Report: White
In direct contrast to the somber colors populating the fall runways, spring saw a plethora of all white looks that are as fresh as an ice-pop in July.
First, let me address the elephant in the room and say that it's not the color that makes you look heavier, but how you wear it.
True, there is less wiggle room with white just because it reflects light and any puckering or pulling is more visible, but with the right style, a minimalist, white look is refreshing on any body type.
Laws for Wearing the Color White
Make sure that your clothing fits. It should skim or float on the body, no bulges or pulling please!
Wear nude undergarments, white (or black and colored) undergarments will show through. VPLs are never cute!
Keep them clean. This might be the most difficult rule, and as someone who can't come within fifty yards of a ketchup bottle and carries a tide-to-go pen everywhere, I know I can't wear this trend (as much as I would love to). So perfect your table manners ladies, and double check where you sit.
General Guidelines for Wearing White
Pair white with neutral accessories such as blush, cognac, gold or silver. Black can look too heavy and white too matchy-matchy.
Pick heavier fabrics like a thick knit, denim, stiff cotton or cashmere. They will disguise panty-lines, and if you're nervous about any unflattering pulling or stretching they will hold everything in.
That being said, a great way to create interest for a truly minimal look is to play with textures such as silk, cotton voile, chiffon, denim, and even white leather. Try mixing different shades of white such as cream, optic white, and sun-bleached denim.

Spring 2011 Couture Continues With Elie Saab, John Paul Gaultier, and Givenchy
Spring 2011 Couture shows roll on with Elie Saab, John Paul Gaultier, and Givenchy.
Elie Saab's show was so beautiful. The light colors of pastel pinks, purples, and reds combined with the intricate detail work on the dresses reminded me of a secret garden. I can see a lot of red carpet moments with these gowns. The Oscars are a few days away… let's see if anyone will get a special dress flown in.
Spring 2011 Couture Season Is Here
Spring 2011 Couture Season Is Here.
People have been claiming that couture is dead because couture clients have been dwindling down and most rich people just buy ready to wear clothes that look like couture. I think this season is showing that couture is alive and kicking. The Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture has even added some new members in recent years. Couture will be here for awhile.
Stuart Weitzman's Spring 2011 Campaign Shows Shoes In Classic 70s Style
For spring 2011, Stuart Weitzman's advertising campaign builds on its playfully glamorous light concept.
This time evoking a 70's vibe within fashion and set, the graphic black, gray and white woven BRADFORD platform and leopard haircalf XRAY wedge are featured.
The BRADFORD represents two key spring trends, woven braiding and color-blocking.
The XRAY is a stylish leopard update to the popular espadrille silhouette.

Enter the Fashion to Figure Contest!
Check out the Free People January Catalog video. It features some really cute clothes and Paris. You can't go wrong with that. I love the airy, hippie looks for spring. My favorite piece is the Kite and Butterfly Tunic that the model wears in the middle of the video as she crosses the street. That is a look that I would totally wear. What is your favorite look from the video?
LaRoque Spring 2011 Debuts
I know we are just getting into the holiday and winter season posts here at TFAS, but LaRoque just debuted her Spring 2011, and I am so proud of her. You might recall that I interviewed Annabelle in her studio last Spring. She had big dreams for her custom brand, and they are definitely beginning to blossom. LaRoque's spring line is going to be in 17 stores across the Southeast. That is so amazing.
The clothes are what I would like to call "Southern Belle Goes To Palm Beach Chic". They are cute, fun, and sassy. Pink, teal, white,and black are the most used colors in the collection next to the yellow and orange printed pieces. The skirts, shorts, tops, and dresses are very preppy and feature LaRoque's signature bows and ruffles. Annabelle most certainly knows her customer, and I can see them gobbling up this collection.

Lanvin-Paris Fashion Week
Fashion Week Proves Sexy Is Back In!
Dressing up like your boyfriend is soooooo last season people. Thank goodness, the masculinity meets femininity trend is fading and girls and starting to dress like girls again. What I discovered from viewing several fashion collections throughout the month is that many designers are bringin' sexy back and I'm loving it. Derek Lam, Chloé and Nicolas Andreas Taralis are just a few designers that have traded the ultra baggy looks for structured, feminine silhouettes with revealing necklines or human flesh. My personal favorite is structured, sexy tops and bottoms with a bit of flare and edge. So lets bring in the sexy for the spring next year. Who's daring enough to pull it off?

The Last Of Paris
Paris Fashion Week is over and that means that all of the major fashion weeks are done until February and I can now go back to spending most of my time studying and finishing my DIY projects. Speaking of which; I completed this DIY last week from Alice & Daisy and am almost done with this one from love Maegan. I've also been hand-sewing and mending things, but that is neither here nor there! Here are the reviews. Photos from Style.com.
I think Sarah Burton did a great job with Alexander McQueen's collection. There were some motifs, shapes, and textures happening in the collection that made everything seem familiar. Nothing strayed to far from what McQueen used to do.
Louis Vuitton was beautiful. I will admit…there were some pieces that I thought were absolutely ridiculous, but the bulk of the clothes were amazing. Marc Jacobs did a great job with this Asian inspired collection.
The last day of Paris Fashion Week also marked the last time John Paul Gaultier designs a collection for Hermes, and boy did he go out with a bang. He had fashion icon Farida Khelfa walk for him and a whole slew of dressage riders on horseback. Everything fit his horse theme perfectly.
John Paul Gaultier Wasn't The Only One Who Used Interesting Models
Thanks to Giles Deacon, Ungaro Is A Success!
After some turmoil (Lindsay Lohan) , and then some more turmoil (Estrella Archs), Ungaro is a success. Giles Deacon did a really good job of bringing back some glory and none of the shame to the Paris fashion house. Photos are from Style.com. Enjoy!

Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll Drive | Community news
The more than 17,000 member of the Knights of Columbus in Washington state and their volunteer partners will conduct the second annual Tootsie Roll Drive in communities across the state to raise funds to help people with disabilities.
The drive will be held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 5-7. Knights of Columbus members will be at various retail locations throughout the community soliciting donations. Eighty percent of what is raised in the community is put toward the community.
Nationally, this program has been in existence since 1970, with 47 states participating this year. In Washington, the program is operated by the Knights under "Columbus Charities," a 501(c)(3) corporation.
Last year, over $60,000 was raised through 35 participating councils across the state. This resulted in 25 different local organizations benefitting from their efforts, and more than $10,000 was donated to the Columbus Charities Special Olympics Summer and Winter Games program.
Knights of Columbus volunteers will easily be visible because of the bright yellow aprons they will be wearing.

MONITOR TWP. — Michigan Sugar Co. officials have wrapped up what they are calling one of the best sugar beet seasons in the company's history.
The Monitor Township-based company reports that growers delivered nearly 4.1 million tons of sugar beets in 2010, and 3.9 million tons were processed.
"The 2010 growing season was the second-highest yielding growing season for the company," said Ray VanDriessche, director of community and government relations for Michigan Sugar, 2600 S. Euclid Ave. "Before harvest, yields were estimated to be somewhat higher than where we ended up, but the company was still very pleased with the companywide average of 26.07 tons to the acre."
Michigan Sugar sliced its last beet Feb. 25, according to VanDriessche.
He said the average sugar content of this year's beets was 18.2 percent, which is below a company goal to eventually achieve 19 percent sugar content.
The company processed about 300,000 fewer tons than expected, according to officials who speculated processing about 4.2 million tons of sugar beets at the beginning of the season.
The difference in processing is because of storage loss or shrinkage from the time of delivery in the fall, until the last beet was sliced, VanDriesschesaid. He said a hot, dry spell in August may have caused the reduction from the earlier estimate.
Michigan Sugar has more than 900 growers in 21 Michigan counties and Ontario.
VanDriessche said farmers in the Great Lakes Bay Region harvested 31,379 acres — about 818,000 tons — of sugar beets during the 2010 season.
As for the 2011 season, continuing cold weather in the state is not giving growers and Michigan Sugar officials a lot of hope for another record season.
"It appears as if we will not have the early start that we did last year when we saw the first beets planted on March 19," VanDriessche said. "Only time will tell but it looks like we could have an early- to mid-April start this year."
Gene Meylan, a Kawkawlin Township sugar beet farmer said he hopes to begin planting by April 15.
"That's usually our normal time," he said. "This is not really out of the normal to be having this weather."
Meylan, 62, has been harvesting sugar beets for 44 years and said everything fell into place for a successful campaign in 2010.
"This was the first time I planted as early as I did and it was probably the easiest I've ever had for planting," Meylan said.
"It was a picture-perfect harvest."

The Cat Adoption Team (Sherwood) honored the hard work and dedication of its volunteers on Sunday, September 18, with an end-of-summer picnic. CAT has over 600 active volunteers who, in 2010, gave over 62,000 hours of service to the organization and the animals in our care.
Top CAT Volunteers Honored were:
Volunteer & Staff Choice Awards (voted on by the volunteers and CAT staffers): Aisha Beck (Tigard) and Noralyn Danielle (Tualatin) team together to head up CAT's adoption center at the Tualatin Petco to provide care for the cats, adoption counseling, and training for volunteers. Aisha is also CAT's videographer, taking beautiful moving photos of the cats for adoption that are posted on CAT's YouTube, played in the shelter's lobby, and linked to each cat's online biography.
Lifetime Achievement Award: Jerry Holmes (Beaverton) can be found at practically every CAT special event or adoption event. He arrives early to help set up, advocates for the kitties, and stays to help clean up and unload back at the shelter. Jerry's been with volunteering with CAT for over six years.
Volunteer of the Year "Evan Kalik" Award: Steve Brod (Tigard) takes on all sorts of volunteer tasks for the organization. He provides cat care for the kitties at the shelter, helps find purr-fect homes for the cats as an adoption counselor, and represents CAT at many local events. If Steve is at CAT's table, spin the prize wheel becuase he makes sure everyone is a winner. Steve has a great sense of humor, which keeps us all smiling. His compassion for the cats is top-notch. (Award named in honor of CAT's Founder.)
Awesome Teen Award: Annie Gerlowsky (Beaverton) gives 100 percent to everything she does for the animals at the shelter – from cleaning to cuddling, to boring administrative tasks, she's there to lend a hand. She is an inspiration of what today's youth can do.
Tidy CAT Award: Sandra Perkey (Sherwood) is one of those volunteers who enjoys doing the jobs no one else will raise a paw to. She's contributed more than 300 hours since coming to CAT in late 2009. Her favorite task is doing the cat's laundry – making sure the bedding is clean. Sandra also spends quality time with some of the shelter cats to help them become more comfortable at the shelter until they are adopted.
Going the Distance Award: Bob Anderson (Welches) has been coming to CAT for more than 12 years to care for the adult cats at the shelter. Twice a week Bob travels over 51 miles one way to spend time at the shelter. Bob also leads CAT's monthly Hands on Portland volunteer group, providing them an overview of the organization and hands on experience with the shelter cats.

Thinking Out Loud wins 2012 North America Cup June 16 at Mohawk Racetrack.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The field of six 3-year-old pacers heading to Northfield Park for Saturday night's $130,000 Cleveland Classic may be smaller than hoped, but Executive Vice President of Racing/Simulcast Dave Bianconi said he's lined up quality, not quantity.
"Overall, I don't think we've ever had a better bunch in the history of the Cleveland Classic," said Bianconi. "Four of these horses have to be considered among the best 3-year-olds in the country right now. This is an amazingly strong field."
When Bianconi confirmed on Wednesday morning that Thinking Out Loud, Bolt The Duer, Pet Rock and A Rocknroll Dance were all entering the late fall classic, he said a few horse owners and trainers who were on the fence decided against coming to Northfield Park.
"The quality of those four horses scared away a few people who were considering entering their horses," said Bianconi.
Thinking Out Loud, with Ohio reinsman David Miller in the sulky, drew the rail post position Wednesday and was named the 2-1 morning line favorite.
Starting outside of the brown son of Ponder are: Pet Rock (driver Doug McNair, 4-1 morning line); Bold The Duer (Mark MacDonald, 7-2); Rockin Finish (Tyler Smith, 12-1); Mortal Zin (Matt Kakaley, 15-1); and A Rocknroll Dance (Peter Wrenn, 6-1).
The Cleveland Classic is the 11th race on the card with an approximate post time of 10:50 p.m.
Winner of the $1.47 million North American Cup with a career-best mile of 1:47.4 at Mohawk Racetrack in Campbellville, Ontario, Thinking Out Loud is owned and trained by Robert McIntosh. Sired by Ponder, the colt has won 10 of 27 career starts and $1.25 million.
Bolt the Duer, also a son of Ponder, won this year's $415,820 Messenger Stakes at New York's Yonkers Raceway, the last leg of harness racing's Triple Crown for 3-year-old pacers. The 7-2 second choice in the morning line, Bolt the Duer has won 14 career races and banked just over $1 million. He posted his career best of 1:47.4 at The Meadows in Washington, Pa.
The outstanding sire Rocknroll Hanover has four offspring in the Cleveland Classic: Pet Rock, Rockin Finish, Mortal Zin and A Rocknroll Dance.
A Rocknroll Dance is from trainer Jim Mulinix's A Rocknroll Dance Stable of Wauseon, Ohio, and is the richest sophomore in the race with almost $2 million in career earnings. He has won 11 of 32 starts, including this year's $600,000 Meadowlands Pace.
Matt Kakaley, who kicked off his driving career at Northfield Park, will handle Mortal Zin for trainer Ron Burke of Pennsylvania's Burke Racing Stable. Pet Rock and Rockin Finish are both trained by Columbus, Ohio native Virgil Morgan Jr. Pet Rock won the $215,000 Windy City Pace at Maywood Park in Melrose Park, Ill., and is just shy of $1 million in earnings with 10 victories in 26 career starts.

NBC's Meredith Viera accidentally referred to Canadian runner Terry Fox as "Michael Fox" on a recent broadcast of the Olympics. We understand mistakes happen, but when a picture of Terry Fox running was followed by a photo of "Family Ties" and "Back to the Future" star Michael J. Fox, that was a little bad.
At this blog, though, we were more impressed with the sign behind Viera referring to the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic "Sweet Home Alabama."

The Saginaw Arts & Sciences Academy volleyball team won by forfeit over host Flint International Academy on Tuesday due to an FIA player collapsing on the floor in the third set.
FIA won 25-20 in the first game before SASA took the second 25-20. SASA led 24-15 in the third before the FIA player collapsed due to dehydration.
The match was delayed, and then ultimately awarded to SASA.
"That's not how you want to end it, but their girls were pretty shaken up by their teammate falling and they decided to call it quits for the night," SASA coach Elmer Schultz said.
Heather House led SASA in kills with seven, while Alisha Davis had nine aces and six kills. Defensively, Emily Davis had a team-high nine digs. Abi Swanson had 23 assists.
"We let that first one slide away from us, otherwise it would've been over with in three sets," Schultz said. "We were short on players tonight, and I had a JV girl I had to call up. They did a nice job with what they had. A lot of the kids here are in theater and they have a big production coming up, so I lost some of my players to rehearsals tonight.
"It was a mixed bag of players out there, and a lot were playing positions they haven't played before. I thought we played well considering we were playing away from home and were playing with just six kids."
SASA (16-1) travels to Burton Genesee Christian on Oct. 28

PORTAGE — Beginning in January 2011, most recipients of the Food Assistance Program will see a change in the date they receive benefits on their Bridge cards, said state Sen.-elect Tonya Schuitmaker.
The action is being taken to create better food access by giving grocery stores the ability to better maintain a stock of fresh and healthy foods for their customers throughout the month, as well as improve access to farmer's markets, she said.
Currently, benefits are distributed on one of eight days each month and most food assistance purchases occur in the first half of the month. This makes it difficult for some food retailers to maintain inventory of fresh foods and employ hourly staff at consistent levels throughout the month, Schuitmaker said.
The new distribution schedule will help strengthen the grocery industry, especially in larger, metropolitan centers that have a higher population of residents that depend on food assistance benefits.
Beginning Jan. 1, DHS will begin the process of changing the issuance days by moving the issuance dates by one day each month, over an 11 month period, for groups of clients depending on the last digit of the
client's case ID number.
If you have any questions about the schedule change, call 877-390-3327 or e-mail email@example.com.
In other state news, Michigan's MET program is a prepaid tuition program which allows individuals to pre-purchase a child's college tuition. The MESP program allows savings to be used for tuition, fees, room and board, and books.
The 2011 enrollment is currently open and will remain so through June 30, 2011. You can contact Schuitmaker's office which has limited MET informational brochures, and additional information is online at www.SETwithMET.com or http://www.misaves.com/ for MESP.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) in response assessment of patients with recurrent carcinoma cervix and in evaluating the predictive value of metabolic response for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
Methods: Thirty-six patients with histopathologically or clinically evident recurrent cervical carcinoma underwent a pretherapy and a posttherapy 18F-FDG PET-CT for treatment response evaluation. Positron emission tomography–CT images were analyzed by 2 experienced nuclear medicine physicians. Response was categorized using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) criteria into complete metabolic response (CMR), partial metabolic response (PMR), stable metabolic disease (SMD), and progressive metabolic disease (PMD). Clinical/imaging follow-up (minimum of 6 months) and/or histopathologic findings were taken as reference standard. Patients were categorized into 2 groups, those with PMD and those without PMD (ie, CMR, PMR, and SMD). Progression-free survival and OS based on PET-CT response were measured from the date of posttherapy PET-CT to the first documentation of progression of disease and death, respectively.
Results: On the basis of metabolic response on posttherapy PET-CT, 6 patients had CMR, 12 patients had PMR, 7 patients had SMD, and 11 patients had PMD. Progression-free survival for patients with cervical carcinoma ranged from 0.5 to 26.5 months (mean [SD], 6.7 [6.1] months). Median PFS for patients with PMD was 3.1 months, whereas median PFS for those without PMD was not reached. Patients who did not show PMD on posttherapy PET-CT had a significantly better PFS than those patients who showed PMD (P < 0.0001; HR, 0.14). There was no statistically significant difference in OS between the 2 groups (P = 0.187; HR, 0.39).
Conclusions: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET-CT is an effective tool for treatment response evaluation in recurrent carcinoma cervix. Patients with metabolically progressive disease on posttherapy 18F-FDG PET-CT have a significantly shorter PFS.

"Bennington…seeks to liberate and nurture the individuality, the creative intelligence, and the ethical and aesthetic sensibility of its students, to the end that their richly varied natural endowments will be directed toward self-fulfillment and toward constructive social purposes." –from the traditional Bennington statement read at every graduation since 1936
Bennington expects its students to accomplish substantive work in their area(s) of interest as well as to understand that work within a larger historical and contemporary context–a balance representing the tension between depth and breadth that is central to a liberal arts
education. Both are essential to achieving the "self-fulfillment" and "constructive social purposes" to which the College has been committed since its inception. As such, they are central to the Plan process, each student's self-defined trajectory through Bennington.
This document drafts a framework to support Plan development, with emphasis on defining a range of fundamental expectations that will allow students to realize these complementary aims. Given the individualized nature of the Plan process, the relationship between Plan and curriculum is necessarily complex. Rather than narrowly prescribed "general distribution requirements," we seek a framework that serves the broad needs of individual Plans and provides guidance for curriculum development.
The outline below aims to serve as a Plan blueprint for students and faculty members:
An ideal list of basic expectations should be succinct, universal, easily integrated into institutional structures, linkable to curriculum, and simple to assess. It will also be, necessarily, broad. The five categories below are best seen as a spectrum rather than as discrete classes. Each might be realized in sophisticated work in most or all disciplines; however, we reemphasize that students should not be limited to their application within a
single discipline.
Each Plan should address how each student's work has brought these expectations to bear on his or her particular pursuit.

GRAND RAPIDS – Davenport University women's basketball coach Mike Williams just shrugged and smiled after watching his team put together a stunning comeback in the last three minutes against arch rival Cornerstone University to clinch the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference regular-season title.
The Panthers, ranked No. 6 in the latest NAIA Division II poll, rallied behind a 16-0 scoring surge late to finish off an 80-74 victory against the Golden Eagles on Saturday afternoon at Mol Arena.
"I don't know how that happened," Williams said with a sigh of relief. "We couldn't make a shot, we couldn't hit the rim, we couldn't make a layup. Fortunately, down the stretch, we got some shots to fall."
Davenport (26-4, 16-2 WHAC) claimed its sixth conference title in a row.
Its prospects looked rather bleak, however, with the Golden Eagles getting outstanding performances from seniors Samantha Flietstra and Melissa Veltkamp while building a 71-64 advantage with 3:02 left in regulation.
At that point, the momentum of the contest shifted.
DU's Karli Harris made a pair of free throws and Karlee Despres (Comstock Park) scored on a drive to the basket to trim the deficit to three. On the ensuing inbounds pass, DU senior Abby Neff had a diving steal and called timeout.
It sparked a turnaround that included a pair of jump-stop baskets in the lane from Neff.
"It was probably the biggest play of that stretch," Williams said of Neff's hustle on the stolen pass. "Fortunately, her coach didn't use all of his timeouts and still had one left at the end of the game. I just had that one left.
"I used them all up to get back in the game. That was it, baby."
Neff said the experience of being part of a team that reached the NAIA-II national championship game last season helped in making some heads-up plays in the final minutes against the Golden Eagles.
"I was just trying to get it any way possible," Neff said. "It was a huge win for us. A little bit too close, but we'll take it."
Senior guard Carrie Grubius (Gull Lake) led the Panthers with 17 points.
Harris had 16 points and Neff finished with 14 points and three steals for the Panthers, who prevailed 78-70 in double overtime Jan. 18 in the first meeting of the season against the Golden Eagles.
Davenport had just four turnovers in the rematch.
Flietstra, a former Grand Rapids Christian standout, led Cornerstone (18-12, 11-7) with 32 points on 11-of-12 shooting from the field and 9-of-13 from the foul line. She also had eight rebounds and two blocks.
Her 3-point field goal with 11.6 seconds left to play accounted for CU's only points in the final three minutes.
Veltkamp (Hudsonville) finished with 26 points and nine rebounds.
"I feel really bad for our girls because I felt we deserved to win that game," Cornerstone coach Carla Fles said. "We out-played them for 37 minutes, but their pressure forced us into some turnovers. They played like they really wanted to win a WHAC championship. They just stuck with it. They didn't crumble."
The Golden Eagles out-rebounded DU 50-32 but committed 24 turnovers.
"I told them we'll get another chance if we get to the (WHAC) championship game," Fles said of a potential third matchup against DU. "I know these seniors would like to finish their careers with a win against Davenport."

Coupeville sophomore steps out of her 'own little world'
Coupeville High School sophomore Aly DeHay has been deemed a local celebrity by fellow students in her advanced art class. Her stop-motion video, which was done for a homework assignment, generated nearly 36,000 views on YouTube in about a month and garnered the attention of two West Coast radio stations.
Advanced art teacher Tacy Bigelow told her students that they had four weeks to create some sort of puppet video. Though it was Aly's first time working with the stop-motion medium, she went all out and ended up creating a project that would touch many.
Aly's video is set to the song "My Own Little World" by Christian artist Matthew West. The lyrics call for people to see beyond the bubble of their self-centered lives and do whatever they can to make a difference in their community. In her four-minute production, Aly uses the song as a backdrop and then uses puppet people and inserted facts about world homelessness, hunger, poverty and sadness to send a wake-up call to her viewers.
"I wanted to have a message in it," Aly said. "I wanted to make people think."
Stop-motion videos are created by stringing together a series of still photographs to produce a sense of motion, like in a flip book. Aly said she used the full month to complete her project and worked on most of it during class time. She said it was difficult to get all the puppet pieces to stick on her board long enough to take photos.
"It got frustrating," Aly said. "It was an adventure."
But well worth it.
K-Love, a radio station in California, found Aly's video on YouTube and recommended it to its listeners. Additionally, the Spirit station based in Seattle heard about Aly's video and began publicizing it too. The singer, Matthew West, heard about Aly's project and said he showed it to everyone in his studio. He contacted Spirit and asked them to get in touch with Aly for him so he could speak with her live on the air.
"For the first time ever, I didn't know what to say," Aly said. "He was a really nice guy."
Aly's classmates also seemed very impressed with their peer's work. Sophomore Shelby Hanson was quick to pipe up about her friend's success.
"I called my cousin and said you have to watch this video," Shelby said. "When she said why, I said just do it. It made our teacher cry."
"It made my mom cry," sophomore Emily Gallahar added.
Bigelow said Aly's video has been watched by people from all over the world. At the Coupeville School District board meeting this month, high school Principal Sheldon Rosenkrance told the board members that Aly's video was "an art project gone wild."
"It really shows what our students can do without limitations," he said.
Aly is in her second year of art with Bigelow. Her freshman year she took crafts but now she said making videos is one of her favorite things to do. She already has plans for her next big project which involves incorporating other actors and music by the band Switchfoot. To see her first video, visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP5mYOzOvCs.

text: BAGHDAD - Two Gulf-based airlines said Saturday they have re-routed flights over Iraq because of the deteriorating security situation there, even as Turkish Airlines said it has resumed flights to the northern Iraqi city of Irbil. Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways and Bahrain's Gulf Air announced their decisions after a similar move by Dubai-based Emirates, the Middle East's largest carrier. On Friday the Obama administration ordered U.S. airlines not to fly over Iraq following U.S. airstrikes launched against the Islamic State extremist group, which has seized much of northern and western Iraq. Etihad said the decision was taken to avoid "conflict airspace," while Gulf Air said it would re-route flights to Europe using "alternate, more secure flight paths" to avoid northern Iraq.

When I saw the trailer for "Delta Farce," I thought that it looked like it could be pretty entertaining. Although I am not normally a huge fan of Larry the Cable Guy, I know a little about his humor, and thought that it looked like it could be funny, if perhaps a little crude.
A surprise to me, however, was that it was neither. Of all things I thought this comedy would be, I didn't think it would be "boring" -- but it was. Thirty minutes into it, I still had hope that this movie was going somewhere, but by the one hour mark, I realized that it wasn't getting any better.
In fact, it was getting worse. It was also at this point that I became aware that the people sitting around me weren't laughing, either. A few even left.
"Delta Farce" is a one-joke movie, and it grows old very fast. As bad as it was, I don't blame its main star, Larry the Cable Guy, or the rest of the cast. Actually, I feel bad for them for being stuck in this mess, which reminded me more of a "Saturday Night Live" sketch than a theatrical feature.
If you must, I'd wait for this one to air on cable.

State overtime out of control
November 21, 2013
To say New York state spends money like a drunken sailor is an insult — to sailors, who couldn't waste in a lifetime the money the state manages to spend in a year. State Comptroller Thomas P....
NYS Spending is out of control. Go by any State highway project 10 guys with 10 trucks for a job that can be done by 2 guys and 1 truck. Andy needs to grow a set and eliminate all Overtime. These managers use Overtime as a way to justify more unneeded positions.

OT at Tax & Finance to correct problems and backlog created by PRIVATE company hired to complete a task. OT at IT to correct problems and backlog created by PRIVATE company hired to complete several tasks. OT at several agencies due to Hurricane Sandy. OT at OPWDD and OMH generally found at State psychiatric centers to cover employee illness, vacations, etc. OT costs need to balanced against the cost of benefits for more employees (this is true in any workplace); sometimes it's cheaper to pay OT than salary & bennies.

It is nothing new! Our state leads the nation in many areas of wasteful spending. I love the get a much larger retirement by getting tons of overtime in your last years of employment. As if free healthcare and a huge salary was not enough. Then there is the politicians that skim all the time they are in office, retire from one office and do it all over in another office. We are on the disgusting end of paying their bills over and over! Taxpayers are getting TiredOfTax!

ToT: most state employees do NOT get free healthcare. It is FAR from free. Only certain segments of the state workforce get paid OT. Double dipping usually happens for political appointees since no CS test is involved.

The more red tape the state creates, the more manpower it takes to "keep all the plates spinning". I would venture that half the overtime is created by lawyers making sure all the I's are dotted and t's are crossed to prevent other ambulance chasing lawyers from taking somebody to court. You may ask, is that all lawyers do? No, the rest of the lawyers are elected and running the state.

adkkev, I personally KNOW that state workers took retirement instead of losing the FREE healthcare plan that they enjoy to this very day! They also were GIVEN extra hours to pad their retirement. This is theft in my opinion but to you it is likely just good retirement planning.

Some O/T is unavoidable, NYS Dept of Transportation operates with 2 shifts of 8 hrs. each during the winter months, but snow storms and the time needed to clean up does not always coincide with these work shifts. Overnights and weekends require overtime as does any storm or other disaster all year long. NYS Dept of Corrections is planning to close some prisons, until they do, it makes no sense to hire for the short term, when the 4 locations are closed, staff will be transferred to other facilities. Some O/T is really not that costly. Hiring more people means more to provide benefits for that are costly. The biggest problem with O/T is that some use it to increase their retirement pensions. There was some suggestion that the law be changed to make pension payments based on regular hours only, but so far it has not happened. Bottom line is that O/T should be limited where possible for each employee.

The problem is not paying DOT workers OT when it snows, the problem is paying them to watch a 60 high definition tv when it doesn't, which is more often than not. Some jobs, like plowing, should be contracted out.

ToT: the former state employees that you know & have retired with free healthcare were probably tier I and there are few of them left. However it is state law (civil service law) that state employees who retired after 1983 paid 10 percent of their healthcare premiums for single coverage, 25 percent for family coverage. I have no idea how much money that might be but it's certainly not free. Perhaps your acquaintances were political appointees and not rank and file state workers who actually had to take a civil service test.

No doubt some of the overtime cannot be avoided. The union uses OT to justify adding more positions. How many vacation days and other personal time is given to some of these positions? Is it the standard one-two weeks paid vacation? Some have more than one, two or even three weeks. Figure how many have a good amount of paid time and how much OT is spent covering someone with all that vacation time. We pay someone to not work plus overtime for someone to fill the position in their absence. In the private sector one is lucky to get a week off, never mind sick and personal time or added weeks of vacation for years of service. Not sure how it is now, but a person could pad their pension by working a lot of overtime. Overtime or nor overtime, taxpayers can not afford the kind of salary and benefits that many in these positions have come to expect. When these folks they take their NY pension out of state propping up another states economy.

They need to cut high paying positions like management, as they are not the ones who do any of the work. Then that money saved would go to hire more people who actually preform the work which would cut overtime. Saying that sometimes it is cheaper to pay the overtime then to actually take on more people.

My wife works at a state position and trust me, it isn't as great as people would think. She is not allowed any overtime unless deemed necessary by her agency heads (which has not happened to her yet) and she pays more than me for health insurance benefits and gets less paid time off. The days of doing "cake work in state work" are over for anyone over Tier 4. The employees in her office even have to pay for their own drinking water and parking spots and are constantly in fear of getting laid off, since they always cut the younger workers instead of the old timers who are staying past retirement age to get more $$ and retirement benefits.

In order to stop this and all other Public sector out-of-control spending sprees the answer lies with NYS taxpayers working in the Private sector. Adjust your Dependents to 10 and don't file State Income Taxes in April, let 'them' come after you and a few million others. Make the State fight for every penny...meanwhile, watch the OT evaporate.

You know what else is out of control? I just read my PB&J sammich is racist and part of 'white privilege' and by extension I am a racist by eating it even though it's on pumpernickel, not white bread. The funny thing is, thanks to multiculturalism, If you're of black, asian, mexican, russian etc. American heritage and eat a PB&J sammich, you're a racist too.
