guys, don't forget that I got inside information from a good friend that used to work at mac and mencos. He said that the cheese was white cheddar from wisconsin. He would have told me if it was a blend. He said that the cheese actually had a stamp in the shape of the state of wisconsin on the box (and thought maybe even in the blocks of cheese). THat should help to narrow it down.
This is just a follow-up post that I did sent two emails on 3/30/2011 one to seguinscheese [email protected] and one to the [email protected] about if they could help me locate a brand of white cheddar that does have a emblem on the box or maybe in the cheese of the state of Wisconsin. I havent received any replies, but the cheese at seguins cheese does have a emblem of the state of Wisconsin. http://www.seguinscheese.com/products/Wisconsin-Cheddar-Cheese-%252d-1-lb.-%26-2-lb.-Wheels-%252d-Mild%2C-Medium-%26-Sharp..htmlI have no idea what white cheddars sold to distributors have the emblem on the box of the state of Wisconsin.Norma
Norma, I think we should find out from scott r or his friend what he meant by a "stamp" first. Are you calling it an emblem interchangably with stamp or sticker or pic or outline or embossment or imprint or logo or whatever else? Do these all interchange?
Mark,scott r Replied at 576 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,9068.msg132901.html#msg132901 and again at Reply 13 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,9068.msg95846.html#msg95846 posting that his friend said it was stamped with "made in wisconsin". I dont know what that means. I would think if I contacted enough distributors maybe I would find out. I was only trying to find the information myself. I have contacted some distributors, but dont know if I am going to contact more. I might. Even if we find out the real brand of white cheddar, that doesnt necessarily mean, any member might be able to purchase that brand of white cheddar. Even I might not be able to purchase that specific brand around my area.BTW I did ask my local cheese place about brick cheese and they dont carry it. They said they could order it for me, but I dont want to go to more expense since Macks is using white cheddar. The manger of the local place told me how brick cheese is made with the painting of the rim and said the closest thing he had was Limburger cheese, that is also painted on the rim of the cheese. He sold me a slice for 1.00. I never tasted Limburger cheese before, and all I could say was I sure didnt like it and drank a whole bottle of water after I ate a small piece. I gave a piece to Steve and if I could have taken a picture, the picture would have been priceless when he tasted that cheese. I am not looking for anymore brick cheese as of right now for a Macks clone.Norma
Norma, as for scott's reply at #13, "stamped with "made in wisconsin", hahaha! That makes it soo much easier! (lol)
Mark,I don't know how easy it will be to find cheese stamped with "made in Wisconsin". There are so many cheeses made in Wisconsin. When I have time, I will search some more.Norma
Have you thought of calling and asking them what kind of cheese they use?
Justin,I didn't call them, but on this thread a lady that was sitting beside me at Mack's (that lives in Wildwood and is a regular customers of Mack's pizza) asked about if the cheese was cheddar and they said partly. I can link you to the video I posted if you want me to. I even tried to buy a dough ball and they wouldn't sell me one.Norma
It's interesting that a lady said PARTLY cheddar, but scott or scott's friend [I'm pretty sure] said it's NOT a blend.Ahhh, The Road Not Taken...
Mark,I dont think Macks would really tell what kind of white cheddar they use. The white cheddar is what makes their pizzas unique. I never tasted a pizza that has the taste of Mack's cheese. If Macks wont tell a customer that has lived in Wildwood what kind of cheese they use, I dont think they would tell anyone. That is just my opinion. The lady sitting next to me knew each of the piemen at Macks when I was there. scott r is a consultant for different pizzerias and has studied all kinds of cheeses and everything else to do with pizza for years. I value his opinions on anything having to do with pizza. I am sure his friend is correct when he said his friend knew it was white cheddar. Norma
So scott is right (It's not a blend) & the lady that knew the workers is wrong (It's NOT PARTLY cheddar?)
Mark,If you listen to the second video I posted at Reply 213 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,9068.msg97856.html#msg97856 you will hear one of the two ladies that are from Wildwood asking the piemen something like: Can you tell me something? Is the cheese a blend of cheeses? Then the pieman says yes. She then says, Is there cheddar in the blend and he says yes. The lady from Wildwood, said I dont want you to tell your secret, but I wouldnt ever be able to duplicate it. The pieman just laughs. That is one reason I dont think Macks will ever tell someone what kind of white cheddar cheese they use. That pie the piemen were making was the last pie of the night. I had a conversation with the ladies (not on video) and they told me they go to Macks pizza all the time because Macks is their favorite pizza and they do live in Wildwood. Another time I talked to the one pieman in the video I referenced he said he had made pizza at Macks for a long while.When Peter did call Macks at Reply 126 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,9068.msg97176.html#msg97176 the lady that answered the phone did tell him that no mozzarella is used, only white cheddar cheese. Probably most workers at Macks really dont know the brand of cheese because it is probably is not grated in the area where Macks sells the pizzas. I would think, but do not know, that the piemen would know the brand of white cheddar that is used.Norma
Norma, I'm sorry. My point was that both people, scott and the Wildwood lady (or ladies), couldn't be completely correct. scott's friend said they don't use a blend. The lady that knew the workers says white cheddar was one of the cheeses in the blend. One contradicts the other. Only one can be right.
Mark,The lady really didn't know what was used for Mack's cheese. She was just asking a question about possibly what they might use, since she saw I was interested in knowing more about how Mack's makes their pizzas. She wasn't really interested in what kind of cheese was used. She told me while I was talking to her, she never makes her own pizzas. I didn't tell her or the piemen that I also made pizzas. As you can see in the video Mack's really doesn't want to tell what kind of cheeses are used. Norma
Maybe they use several different white cheddars.
Tscarborough,They could be using a blend of several different white cheddars, I really don't know. Norma
Again...didn't scott say NO blend?

After Beyoncé gave birth to her daughter Blue Ivy last year, something changed. Bey addressed the transformation in the March issue of Vogue, explaining that having a baby made her think differently about what it really means to be a woman.
"Right now, after giving birth, I really understand the power of my body," she explained to the mag. "I just feel my body means something completely different. I feel a lot more confident about it. Even being heavier, thinner, whatever. I feel a lot more like a woman. More feminine, more sensual. And no shame."
With help from a heavy tribal beat, Beyoncé's latest song, "Grown Woman," which leaked last night (May 20), touches on the power of femininity. Whether single, married or somewhere in between, this Timbaland-produced ladies anthem is seemingly meant to get every woman up on her feet singing, "I'm a grown woman/I can do whatever I want." Let's consider it the sequel to "Run The World (Girls)."
Mrs. Carter has always been a powerful figure in music, but on her latest song there is a new (and different) sense of confidence here. She starts off the track by letting people know she's been working at this since she was a little kid and she's no one-trick pony: "Told the world I'm gonna paint this town/ Now b****** I run this."
On the track, a snippet of which debuted in Bey's recent Pepsi ad, she continuously touts her power. She sings, "They love the way I walk/Cause I walk with a vengeance/And they listen to me when I talk/Cause I ain't pretending." She ends it all by explaining that it took some time for her to get this ego boost and she's not giving up on it anytime soon. It's almost as if she's letting all the ladies know, "If I can do it, so can you."
When she delivers lines like, "I can be bad if I want/I can say what I want/I can live fast if I want/I can go slow all night long," it's clear she's not apologizing for anything anymore.

"There's Lo'Jo, who brings together the music of North and West Africa with gypsy and French sounds; or Java, with a unique, idiosyncratic take on rap; and the whiskey-stung voice of Arthur H, his words continuing as the tracks descend into dub and back again. There's such an intriguing variety of music
enough to capture the mind of everyone, be it the lo-fi resonance of Mickey 3D or the strictly bizarre sampling of Ignatus

text: Um...how can they make a rough string with a rough directional surface that reduces friction in BOTH directions? The main string will have to move quickly in BOTH directions with minimal friction to be first displaced and then to "snap back" quickly. Also, every other cross string's rough surface will have its rough direction in the wrong direction since when you string the crosses you weave the string back and forth (e.g., from left to right on one cross and then from right to left on the next cross).

If we view the boredom as dukkha, then it's also part of our practice to view its cause, then its cessation, and also build our right mindfulness with that kind of knowledge (or panna). All of this is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th noble truth.Digity wrote:My biggest issue with mindfulness is boredom. It's often boring to be mindful when I'm washing my teeth or doing the dishes. Does it ever become enjoyable to do all these things mindfully?
While keeping the above in mind... if we noticed that boredom is arising, and we knew its cause, then why would we even allow it to continue?
If we had the right mindfulness, built on the right panna (i.e., we know that it isn't just merely by stopping brushing that we will make this boredom go away) then all of it will fall away, immediately. That seems to be my experience.
That is why Robert K. said the following:
Also, from the Satipatthana Sutta:robertk wrote: In any kusala mindstate there must be as one of the cetasikas sati. The feeling that also arises at the same time is either pleasant or neutral, never unpleasant.
Can sati be aware of unpleasant feeling?
Yes of course. But at the moment of such awareness the unpleasant feeling has just fallen away. This can still be considered as awareness of the present moment as it is all happening very fast.
This is the direct path for the purification of beings, for the overcoming of sorrow and lamentation, for the destruction of suffering and grief, for reaching the right path, for the attainment of Nibbana, namely, the four establishments of mindfulness . . .

Well, I do love me a list. I make them all the time, and they range in content from groceries, to grievances, to obscure actors, particularly cute dogs, must-see movies, one-hit wonder bands, two-hit wonder bands, and pretty much everything in between. Fortunately Forbes magazine also creates quite an abundance of (far more interesting & comprehensive) lists as well, and their latest Most Powerful Women List is out (peopled with gals who will not necessarily surprise you, but we'll get to that in a moment). First, I'm still thinking about how emphatically you feel about the Superman movie casting question from last week. As in, we're still getting comments – which tells me above all else that that you genuinely care about your characters. Superhuman ones or otherwise. Which is certainly one of the reasons why the People's Choice Awards works as a concept; quite possibly if producers and directors and casting people asked The People about a few other things BEFORE they went ahead and made movies and TV shows, we wouldn't be presented with so much sub par material. Don't get me wrong, I love Modern Family and Glee and Mad Men ( even Blue Bloods, with its silly overblown exposition, is growing on me because I like all the family stuff) but for every one of these gooduns there's something like S#$^)^&*! My Dad Says that's not gotten canceled but should be, in my humble opinion. Lone Star's already gone, as is My Generation (never saw it, rather liked the billboards they had advertising it, even though I'm evidently the only one who did). I'm not sure why Outlaw is such a(n alleged) dud – and now a canceled one — but more than one person has told me that the premise of someone voluntarily leaving the Supreme Court Bench seems preposterous. Which it does to me too. On the other hand, I never thought a 16-year old doctor or a guy from planet Mork or a group of people with superhuman powers would work either (and I'm not talking about No Ordinary Family). Bottom line, I think Hollywood needs to ask Main Street about future projects. Besides, the PR machine can create notoriety, but it can't create quality, can it? Don't we have reality TV to blame for some of this? Just because someone's famous and can attract viewers doesn't mean they're talented. Nor can any star or starlet – regardless of how many headlines or hits they get — make a show or a movie watchable; that happens when there's a good premise that's well directed, with talent and well, a few other things that may be tricky to quantify. But now let's go back to the Forbes' Power Lady List. Because some of these ladies are famous, some of them aren't, but they're all doing one thing or another extremely well. Now of Forbes' Most Powerful Women # 1 is First Lady Michelle Obama. That certainly makes sense to me. Although what I do find interesting is that only four of the top ten ladies are in entertainment – the rest all run companies or, em, countries, and six of the top ten are over 50 years of age (again, this might be significant or mean nothing but you know I like to look for patterns everywhere). Without any further ado, let's go to the polls. Voice your choice in today's featured poll and tell us which of these ladies in the top ten on Forbes' Most Powerful Women List is your favorite:
1) Oprah
2) Lady Gaga
3) Beyonce
4) Ellen DeGeneres

12 great places for birding in wildlands - and more
Blackbird at Stillwater Wildlife Refuge in Nevada.
flickr, NWCouncil / Tony Grover
Drilling, mining and of course logging all endanger bird habitat, so wilderness areas and wildlife refuges are crucial to the survival of some species. Some have of these wild areas even been designated Important Birding Areas - sites that provide essential habitat for one or more bird species. Others are in fact renowned for the birds that call those places home, like the California condors of Pinnacles National Park.
Late winter and spring are great birding months, so to help get you out there, we've put together a map of our some of our favorite selections for the best wildlands for birding, as well as information about bird festivals at wildlife refuges, viewings of the endangered greater sage-grouse and live online viewings of birds at wildlife refuges.

SALISBURY- A frustrating delay on setting police tow fees was narrowly avoided when the Salisbury City Council voted to mirror Ocean City rates, despite having already agreed to table the issue.
With the adoption of Ocean City police tow fees, a standard tow will be $125. Service calls for things like a jumpstart or gasoline that don't involve a tow will cost $65. Additionally, a $35 per-day abandoned vehicle fee that isn't on Ocean City's books was added.
The desire to change police tow fees in Salisbury involved a lot of back and forth between the city and the industry. What the council wanted to make clear from the beginning was that setting standard tow fees for when companies are called in by the police would not affect the private field at all.
"We're not trying to regulate the industry for all city-wide towing," asserted Council President Terry Cohen.
Several proposals were floated around as potential guidelines for Salisbury police tow fees. At first, Fruitland rates were used as the standard.
"Should we adopt Fruitland's fees because we have contiguous borders?" asked Councilmember Deborah Campbell.
Campbell explained that tows, which crossed the border between the two cities, would be simpler if both areas had the same rates.
However, those fees haven't been adjusted in a decade. Councilmember Tim Spies pointed out that prices for a lot of other things have doubled or more in that time span.
Campbell suggested slightly increasing the Fruitland fees to reflect inflation in the last 10 years, but the council wasn't sure it wanted to guess what that number would be.
"I don't think adjusting these up 30-40 percent will cut it," said Spies.
Campbell then brought up another nearby area whose rates could be emulated.
"I could reluctantly agree to fees charged by Ocean City," she said.
Campbell admitted she was reluctant because there are a lot of differences between Salisbury and the busy resort town, especially in the number of police tows every year. While Salisbury generally numbers in the hundreds, Ocean City might surpass that mark just over the summer.
Councilmember Laura Mitchell submitted a list of suggestions for possible adoption, the core of which were the Ocean City rates. Mitchell added a few other items, though, the most notable of which would be a "serious or fatal injury" fee. In the case of violent car crashes, Mitchell felt that tow companies should receive extra compensation when called in by the police. She pointed out that many of those accidents left the car a dangerous wreck, with broken glass and metal and possibly bodily fluids. Spies agreed that the mess could require extra work.
"The only thing about blood in there is that the person towing it needs to be protected," he said.
However, the council wasn't sure who would decide what constitutes a "serious" accident and worthy of the extra fee. Councilmember Eugenie Shields remarked that the tow fees were starting to become too complex.
"This is ridiculous," she said. "This is just too much. This will never be right. We're just trying to regulate and fee everything."
Shields said there needed to be flexibility in the industry and that the council was heaping unnecessary restrictions upon tow companies. Shields suggested the council only set fees on "the basics," but Mitchell defended the proposed alterations to the town's towing laws.
"I did not write the ordinance and I did not rewrite the ordinance," said Mitchell. "I don't think the fees are excessive.
She remarked that she'd only added four items to the list in addition to what Ocean City currently regulated.
"I think four things are a lot of things," argued Shields.
She told the council the process could be made easier. Campbell agreed, saying that it felt like they had "too many things on the menu."
"We're supposed to be here for consumer protection," she said.
Discussion grounded to a halt, with the numerous suggestions trapped in a cycle.
"At this point, I'm not hearing a consensus," said Cohen, who moved that the issue be tabled until further research could be done.
Campbell asked that they take one last look at the proposals. She stated that every day they didn't have solid regulations in place was another day where some of the more unscrupulous companies were able to take advantage of customers while honest companies were paid less than they deserved.
Campbell moved that Ocean City rates be accepted, with only the abandoned vehicle fee added to keep things simple. Still, some on the council wanted to put off the discussion for another day.
"I'd like to see this off the table," said Spies.
In the end, the council decided to move forward with the plan to adopt Ocean City's towing fee schedule as it pertains to police calls, with the addition of the abandoned vehicle amendment. The council reached a consensus supporting Campbell's motion.

Extension of Program
WARNING to graduate students: The legal extensions of program described on this page do not cover your responsibilities related to academic procedures required by the Graduate Office. Please note that you must also follow all procedures for extensions of time and funding in that Office.
I'm an F1 student. I cannot finish my program by the end date on my I-20. What should I do?
- Click here for the form or go to Student Affairs (Fidel Center 2nd Floor) and apply for an extension early enough that SEVIS can be notified before the end date on your I-20. (Once that end date passes, no extension can be granted.)
- Make sure that you have continually maintained F1 status to this point. The two major issues are maintaining full-time enrollment and avoiding illegal employment.
- Provide documentation establishing that the delay in completing your program is due to compelling medical or academic reasons beyond your control. Documentation might include specific information from physicians, professors, etc.
- Provide a letter from your academic advisor outlining the remainder of your study program and the new expected completion date.
- Be prepared to discuss your financial support for the period of extension.
- If extension is granted, sign the new I-20.
I'm a J1 student in the same predicament. What should I do?
Follow the F1 steps exactly, but substitute "DS-2019" for "I-20." If you are a degree-seeking student, there is no specific legal maximum time allotted for your program (although there may be an academic time limit). However, if you are a non-degree student, no extension beyond the lawful two-year maximum can be granted without specific approval from the Department of State.

BRATTLEBORO -- Vermont-based photographer Jen Morris will present "Landscape Photography and the USA" at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
Her presentation will discuss the varied ways in which landscape photography has reflected notions of cultural identity in the United States. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors, $4 for students, free for BMAC members and children under 6.
Morris' work uses the media of photography and video, and seeks to question the historic foundation of landscape photography. Her images represent unfulfilled longing, the impossible journey, false security or a simple sense of wonder and have been exhibited nationally and internationally.
Morris received her BFA from Carnegie Mellon University in 1998 and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago as a Merit Scholar and Weinstein Memorial Fellowship recipient in 2006. She is an associate professor of art at Landmark College in Putney and an artist teacher with the Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier.
Located in historic Union Station at the intersection of Main Street and Routes 119 and 142, the museum is wheelchair-accessible. For more information, call 802-257-0124 or visit www.brattleboromuseum.org.

An eight-time All-Star and 2004 AL MVP, Guerrero made the National League's Silver Slugger honor roll in 1999, 2000 and 2002 with the Montreal Expos before joining the Angels in 2004 as a free agent.Louisville Slugger's Silver Slugger Award winners were determined by a vote of Major League Baseball coaches and managers who vote for the players they felt were the best offensive producers at each position in both the American and National Leagues in 2007. Selections are based on a combination of offensive statistics including batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage, as well as the coaches' and managers' general impressions of a player's overall offensive value. Managers and coaches were not allowed to vote for players on their own team.
The specially designed Silver Slugger Award will be presented to each player by a representative of the Hillerich & Bradsby Co., makers of Louisville Slugger, the Official Bat of Major League Baseball, in a ceremony early in the 2008 season. The trophy is three feet tall and bears the engraved name of the winner and his Silver Slugger teammates in his respective league.
The Silver Slugger Award was instituted by H&B in 1980 as a natural extension of the Silver Bat Award which is, as its name indicates, a silver-plated bat presented by Louisville Slugger to the batting champions in the AL and NL. This year's Silver Bat Award winners are Colorado's Matt Holliday and Detroit's Magglio Ordonez. Holliday hit .340 to win the NL batting title. Ordonez led the Major Leagues in batting with a .363 average and claimed the AL honor. Both will receive their Silver Bat Awards in on-field presentations early in the 2008 season.
Old-school to the bone, Guerrero doesn't believe in ornaments. He never wears batting gloves, and when he won the 2007 State Farm Home Run Derby during the All-Star Game festivities in San Francisco, he did so without a batting helmet.
Everything about him represents independence and strength. The blue "Superman" shirt he wears beneath his Angels game jersey fits Guerrero to a T. He might not be faster than a speeding bullet, and it's doubtful he can leap tall buildings in a single bound, but he could be more powerful than a locomotive.The Angels' sunshine Superman, one of five finalists for the 2007 Hank Aaron Award in the American League that went to the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez, is admired by teammates and universally respected by opponents. Guerrero batted .324 with 27 homers and 125 RBIs as the driving force behind an Angels offense that finished fourth in the American League in runs scored. Leading the league with 28 intentional walks, Guerrero had a .547 slugging percentage and .403 on-base percentage while playing in 150 games. Guerrero reached the 25-homer barrier for the 10th consecutive season, and he is one of four players in the past 50 years -- joining Rod Carew, Wade Boggs and Tony Gwynn -- to hit .300 for 10 consecutive seasons. Battling through hand, elbow and shoulder injuries that robbed him of power at times, he remained a steady, clutch force in the Angels' run to their third AL West title in four seasons. A 96-mph fastball from Boston's Josh Beckett off his right hand in April cost Guerrero only two games, and when he sustained an inflamed right triceps in late August, he missed four games, returning as DH to smack a pair of homers. Guerrero showed mastery of all aspects of hitting, going the other way against shifts to drive in runs with grounders through the right side when that's what the game situation demanded. "He's one of the elite hitters in the game, just an amazing hitter," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "When he's locked in, Vlad's capable of doing things not many players can do." Selected to the AL starting lineup for the All-Star Game for the fourth consecutive year, finishing behind only A-Rod and Derek Jeter in the fans' balloting, Guerrero was joined in San Francisco by teammates John Lackey and Francisco Rodriguez.
"I couldn't imagine a better teammate than Vlad," Lackey said. "He's an authentic superstar who doesn't act it. He's just having a good time. He'd be at home in the Dominican [Republic] playing on the streets if he wasn't here -- and he'd be having just as much fun.
"It would be hard for me to imagine anyone who has a bigger impact on his team than Vlad does. If we were to lose him for any extended period of time, it wouldn't be good for us."
Dodgers All-Star pitcher Brad Penny claimed that Guerrero, when he was playing for Montreal, once lifted a pitch out of the dirt and over the wall in Florida.
"Truth," Guerrero said, grinning. "I was young then. Strong."
Guerrero demonstrated his stunning power when he caught fire and claimed the Home Run Derby title. He launched the longest shot of the night, a 503-foot blast just beneath the giant mitt in left field, averaging 434.5 feet with his 17 homers.

I guess we find out this afternoon what the deal is with Pops for the remainder of this season. Apart of me wants him to stay, but from a roster and financial stand point I understand why we would decide to part ways with him too.
Source - Click hereTodays the day.
Pops Day.
Apparently, Dec. 22 is the day that the contract of Pops Mensah-Bonsu becomes fully guaranteed and I havent had a whisper of which way the Raptors are leaning, actually.
The monetary savings are huge about $400,000 maybe but the roster spot might come in handy as they move towards the trade deadline.
I guess they could guarantee the deal and eat any financial losses if they have to, or use that money as cap ballast in some future transaction.
Its not a huge deal but when theres an absolute dearth of news around these lads, its at least something worth checking into.
And I shall later on when we gather yet again for practice.

"It's a very cumbersome lifestyle," said one man who frequents the program and lives in his car. "Things like being able to cook your food, being able to have a bathroom facility, heating — when you are housed you take those things for granted. Those things are not part of the equation when you're homeless."
The 180 people who used the breakfast program Nov. 23 was a record, said volunteer Robert Lee. Los Altos United Methodist Church partnered with Trinity United Methodist Church to create the program, though volunteers are welcome regardless of their faith.
The program is seeking donations to help expand to three days a week, and so far has raised $90,000 of the $350,000 needed to upgrade the hall's bathrooms and kitchen, which isn't up to code. "Then we would actually be able to cook meals there," said Leslie Carmichael, chair of the board for Hope's Corner.
Volunteers noted that they don't see the sort of chronically ill or drug addicted homeless persons you might expect. Many are longtime residents down on their luck, who don't want to leave their communities behind.
"There's a wide variety of folks that come here," Lee said. "There's people that sleep in their cars, people that sleep on the ground, people who spend all their money on rent so they don't have enough money for food."
Palo Alto's ban on car camping at the Cubberly Community Center has had an impact.
"If you look in this room, you can see people who are pretty well dressed," Lee said. "A lot of them were living near Cubberly and now they are forced to look for other places to go," he said.
Volunteer Michael Fischetti, who is also a county health commissioner, provided a long list of ways volunteers have helped, such as coming to the rescue of a family whose car was impounded — along with all of their possessions. Volunteers quickly gathered $400 to get the car out before it got too expensive. Each day in the tow yard costs $50.
There's even a Google employee who uses the program.
"Volunteers have helped get YMCA memberships so that a woman living in her car can shower at 6 a.m. to get to her work at Google," Fischetti said in an email.
Volunteer Kevin Thompson recalled the smile on one young homeless child's face when volunteers — with the help of the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition's Bike Exchange program — were able to immediately replace his stolen bicycle. The child drew a picture of the bike under a smiling sun to show his appreciation, signing it "a boy who loves to ride, age 12."
The Bike Exchange on Leghorn Avenue has donated 20 bikes that will be given away this Saturday, Dec. 21, when Hope's Corner holds a holiday gift exchange at 12:30 p.m.
"We have been able to provide bikes for a half a dozen individuals who need them to get to work and to children," Fischetti said.
Having been in existence for just over two years, the program has built connections with the Community Service's Agency, Second Harvest Food Bank and Panera Bread, which donates unsold pastries every Friday night.
"Ultimately, our goal is to do more community outreach kinds of things," Lee said.
Explaining the demand, Fischetti noted, "Santa Clara County has the nation's fifth-highest number of homeless per capita," adding that it was "clearly due to high rents and the unconscionable lack of affordable housing."
"Some people's lives are more messed up than others, but the bottom line is people are people," said the homeless man who spoke with the Voice but declined to give his name. "They all deserve to at least have a basic level of dignity that's sufficient for a person to be able to get back on their feet."

text: Wonder if I can get some advice here? The other day I went out and started up the old r75 same as always, she irked right up and seemed to be ok. Here is the issue, I had it a little richer than normal because i had been tinkering with carb settings over the last week or so but she still started right up and seemed ok, at first. As I at there in the driveway with the choke on and engine warming I burped the throttle a few times and then BOOM, a big backfire! Oops! It sputtered and died and I have not been able to get her running again. I have had the carbs off a few times looking for dirt or something but find none, I seem to have spark at the plugs but it just spins over and backfires some times. Any thoughts? It would always fire right up before, maybe turn over once and catch and idle just fine. When I pulled the plugs looking for spark I did take a flashlight and look into each cylinder, it seems that the valves are all moving ok as well as the pistons, it blows my hair back as I look into the plug hole...hummmm

What is this thing the players do where they point to their headbangs after a 3?
Any more excuses haters....???
Likes of Barkley well and truly need to STFU for good.
No Melo, STAT or Shump...what else haters require no Felton, Chandler and Kidd? Love to see Miami minus just LBJ and watch the Titanic sink.
Miami at the moment the definition of a one man team, Wade regression continues and Bush still does not truly fit in. Star nut hugging NBA will ensure the Heat be right there at the end but basketball wise they're a seriously flawed team, much like the over hyped Lakers.
This .gif is gold.
Really surprised to see the boxscore...
Missed the game because I was at the gym with the wife.
We blew the Heat out again without Melo.
We only had 7 turnovers...against the Heat, we're normally turnover prone. remember the rape they committed against Jeremy Lin?
May we dig deep in this win and observe how much quality depth this team has. 3 strong PG's who can play on both ends of the floor...they're not top 10 PG's in the NBA, but they're pretty damn good and all deserve 20 minutes per game. Heres love to Bishop, J-Kidd and Pablito.
Am I the only happy to see Kurt Thomas made a difference finally? We've loved him during the Layden era...now that he's back I was hoping for him to play a solid role here. Solid game for KT.
We are the truth.
I remember on RealGM a lot of fans were hating on the Knicks wins, you even had a Philadelphia fan convinced the Knicks weren't going to make the playoffs.
This victory is more than a statement, we've tattooed the league and show them theres no challenge that we can't overcome.
This is a celebration.
I found it, and good lord what a reach, its such a sad stretch to even make!Carmelo Anthony insists he's not making a gun reference as he celebrates one of his four 3-pointers, but true or not, Knick star is sending disturbing signal.
Here was [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] draining four 3-pointers against an inferior [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] team on Sunday at the Garden and then putting a couple of fingers next to his head every time he hit one, as if he were shooting himself. On his fourth one, he was quite emphatic.
With the Jovan Belcher murder-suicide in Kansas City happening the day before, with guns so prevalent in society and wreaking so much carnage, it hardly looks like the appropriate way to celebrate an [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] three.
But Anthony went out of his way to insist after the Knicks' 106-99 win that the three-to-the-head signal has nothing to do with guns.
"No. Never. Of course not," he said as he left the Knicks' locker room with his young son, Kiyan.
Then the Knicks' star added: "Hell, no!"
NBA players have been accused of making gun references on the court or gang references, aspersions that in the majority of cases are unfair or just wrong. But unfortunately, it happens, as it is now happening with the Knicks.
"I know that's how people will look at it,'' Anthony said. "But it's just for three points, that's all.''
But in today's world, it probably won't stop the talk. If he and his teammates don't like the backlash, they'd be wise to come up with another signal.
Larry Johnson's fist-to-the-elbow, anyone?
The famous four-point specialist was at courtside, taking in his old team's 12th win of the season. When he was introduced over the P.A. and shown on the TV scoreboard, he made his trademark sign, to a raucous ovation. But that's his sign, and it's so '90's. This Knicks team probably won't go to it because it's not original.
From all accounts, these Knicks are sticking with the sign, created by [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Only Anthony used it Sunday when he scored 34 points against a Suns team that fell behind early with a slew of turnovers and then found itself chasing the Knicks all day.
"When they're playing from in front, they're so hard to beat because they can really make those threes,'' said Suns coach Alvin Gentry.
Stephen Barcelo for New York Daily News
A vigil at the home of the late Javon Belcher.
Steve Novak did his hands-to-the-waist sign, mimicking putting on a championship boxing belt. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and Ronnie Brewer, the only other Knicks who made threes in a game when they shot too many, allowing Phoenix to pull within six points late, didn't even bother doing anything.
"It just means three," Novak said of Wallace's sign. " We just sit around and come up with these kinds of silly things."
The Knicks have been doing it all season. Even in an MSG commercial shown before the game, you see Wallace tapping his head after he nails a three.
"I'm just representing my man, Rasheed Wallace — three-to-the-dome," Anthony said. "It's just three, nothing major."
If it was a gun reference, as has been strongly suggested in references on the Internet, then you can [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] it would be major, and the Knicks would have to stop using it. There is no place in an NBA game for glorifying guns. That would send the wrong message to everyone. When it comes to guns, it's never a minor issue, as if some players need to be reminded how guns have sometimes tragically affected their lives, or the close calls some have been in when they've been around firearms.
Go back to last summer when Nate Robinson was watching a game at Rucker Park. Suddenly the ex-Knick and some friends found themselves scrambling for cover when gunfire erupted, resulting in several people being shot. As someone who was at Rucker that night recounted, Robinson was at the other end of the court from the gunman. "But when somebody is shooting a gun off and you're there, it seems like they're right next to you," the person said.
The Knicks made a ton of threes on Friday in their previous win at home, over Washington. That night it seemed that everyone did the three-to-the-head signal. That's when the talk of it being a gun thing got hot. Then on Saturday, Belcher ended his girlfriend's life, and shortly thereafter his own life in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot, bringing the whole issue of guns and athletes back to the fore.
By the time the Knicks had posted their latest win, Wallace was long gone, having been ejected in the first quarter after picking up two technicals. So he wasn't around to explain his sign.
Even if it's not about guns, he might want to come up with an alternative.

MIAMI (AP) Raymond Felton scored a season-high 27 points, and the New York Knicks connected on 18 3-pointers to more than offset the absence of Carmelo Anthony while topping Miami for the second time this season, beating the Heat 112-92 on Thursday night.
Steve Novak scored 18 points, J.R. Smith added 13 and Tyson Chandler scored 13 for the Knicks, who won their fifth straight and moved 1 1/2 games clear of Miami for the best record in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks made eight 3-pointers in the third quarter alone, the most by any NBA team in any quarter so far this season.
Anthony sat out, one night after needing five stitches to close a cut on the middle finger of his left hand.
LeBron James nearly picked up his second straight triple-double - 31 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists - in Miami's second straight loss. Dwyane Wade scored 13 points, Chris Bosh had 12 and Udonis Haslem added 10 for the Heat, who fell to 8-1 at home.
Rasheed Wallace scored 12 and Jason Kidd added 11 for the Knicks, who finished 18 for 44 from 3-point range.
It was tied at 53 at the half, and the third quarter changed everything for the Knicks. Kidd made a 3-pointer, Felton followed with consecutive 3s and New York was up by nine with 9:42 left in the period and the Heat seemed stunned.
New York was only getting started.
In all, it was an eight-3-pointers-in-eight-minutes barrage that decided this one, with five different players getting in on the act for the Knicks. Smith hit the last of them with 3:25 left in the third, and a pair of free throws by Chandler moments later gave New York - again, without its best player - an 18-point lead on the road against the reigning NBA champions.
There was one run late in the third, a 13-3 burst by Miami that got the Heat within eight in the final seconds of the quarter. It was the last - and really, the only - gasp for Miami, as the Knicks just kept firing away in the fourth.
Felton finished 10 for 20 from the floor, adding seven assists and four rebounds. He was 6 for 10 from beyond the arc, Novak was 4 for 9, while Smith and Kidd were each 3 for 8 from long range.
Miami had two field goals in the first seven minutes of the final quarter, and when New York decided to put it away, it was with 3-pointers, of course. Novak made one for a 100-84 lead, another to stretch the margin to 19 and then Chandler got all alone for a dunk to push the lead to 109-88 and send most of the building's occupants to the exits.
Smith hit a 3-pointer with 3:04 left to play, gestured toward the Heat bench, and the benches were cleared moments later.
NOTES: Haslem started and made his first five shots, his first 10-point first half since March 2010. ... Anthony warmed up before the game, but seemed to have trouble catching passes. ... It was Miami's first home loss since Game 5 of last season's Eastern Conference finals. ... The Knicks have outscored Miami by 20 points in each of their first two meetings this season.
LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT! what made it even better was it was againist the heat lol.
Great ball movement on all accounts and great team effort.That was a total mismatch out there on the court and it was the knicks that was doing whatever they wanted.Im loving what im seeing from this years team and I really do think we have something special if they keep playing team ball/sharing the ball and shutdown defense.Great win GO KNICKS!!!

Trade School vs. College
When was the last time you could get an electrician, plumber, or other skilled laborer to show up on the same day you called? Have their fees gone up or down? Why are there 200,000 or more high-paying manufacturing jobs left unfilled in this country in the face of 7.8 percent unemployment? My point is that there is an enormous opportunity for millions of Americans to earn more money and live a more prosperous life than ever before, but they lack the skills to apply.
During the Cold War, John F. Kennedy urged this nation's youth to enroll in college. It was their patriotic duty in order to counter Soviet aggression and technological gains. We listened and enrolled in college by the millions. The Vietnam War and the draft spurred even greater growth in university attendance. By the 1980s, college was the only answer to getting ahead. If you wanted an even better life, graduate school was the next step, so I applied. We called it the age of the MBA.
Trade and technical schools fell by the wayside. It was a place where only those who couldn't pass their SATs would go, quietly and in shame. Attendance declined, schools were shuttered and those that did survive were as popular as the plague.
The globalization of the world's economies, however, threw the world's labor force on its head. What followed was a thirty year wrenching readjustment of worldwide employment practices. The developed world's work force experienced a substantial decline in real wages, especially among its unskilled workers, while the labor force among emerging economies has enjoyed a high income and standard of living.
Here in America those trends have resulted in a stubbornly high unemployment rate (especially among the nation's youth) and an imbalance in our skill sets. We have an overabundance of college-trained workers, an increasing (and unfulfilled) demand for skilled "blue collar" workers and a large number of undereducated high school graduates making the minimum wage.
The Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University projects that between now and 2018, the U.S. economy will create 47 million job openings. However, less than a third of those jobs will require a college degree. Many of these new jobs will require some occupational training and skills. This new national demand will come from healthcare, construction, manufacturing and natural resources among other areas.
As a result, vocational or trade schools are making a comeback. Over the last five years these schools have experienced relatively strong growth, about 4.1% annually and are expected to continue to grow by about 2.6 percent a year over the next five years. At the same time, much of academia as well as the present government have changed their attitude toward vocational training.
Traditionally, we have considered vocational training as an institution that trains students for entry-level positions in jobs that don't require a college degree. That may have been the case in my 'Daddy's Day,' but vocational training is in a state of transition. Trade schools increasingly offer a much broader approach to education and are providing students with a variety of applicable skills. Today, technical school graduates are working in business, health, computer technology and various areas of administration as well as in the more traditionally-recognized blue collar jobs.
I have often said that opportunities for U.S. workers with only a high school degree are dismal at best and shrinking daily. These are today's minimum wage employees. The present debate over whether or not to increase that minimum wage addresses a symptom rather than a cause in this country. In my next column, we will look at how technical schools and vocational training could help turn around the high unemployment rate of America's youth, while lifting an entire segment of workers out of the minimum wage trap.

This is my first meeting at HMAA (Horror Movie Addicts Anonymous) and I look forward to meeting with you all in the future, unless of course I am possessed by the devil, wake up in a room with my leg chained to a bathtub, start seeing dead people, sign up as the caretaker of a hotel abandoned for the winter, invoke the help of Hannibal Lector to help me catch another deranged yet brilliant murderer, or watch a movie ending with a lovely telephone call from Samara informing me of my regretful yet imminent death in seven days, unless I email her chain mail to everyone in my contact list within that time, in which case I will have good luck for the next seven days. If any of the above do occur, I am very sorry, but my absence just could not be helped.
To ensure all of my lovely fans that I am not just some weird horror movie freak, I also love huskies, snowboarding, lazy days spent in bed with a book and tea while it is raining outside, hedgohogs, compliments from strangers, writing, the movie Wimbledon, houses that are hundreds of years old with a history, my new red shoes, the first snow of the season, English, Irish and Scottish accents, sunflowers, British comedy from the eighties and nineties, Jack Johnson, willow trees, Harry Potter, my biology class (hilarious people), that moment when you don't care whose watching, let yourself go, and dance, people who plant Oak trees for the next generation, the author John Marsden, my pet snake named Monty (well, I thought I was being original when I was ten), Johnny Depp, Grey's Anatomy, my dog's reaction when I am the first one home, the colour red, and, of course, Crochet Monthly, but then again, I am quite mad . . .
I belong in Alice In Wonderland.
At the Mad Hatter's tea party of course. I am, after all, British.

Have you read the Hunger Games books? HAVE YOU READ THE HUNGER GAMES BOOKS??? I have. (But you probably guessed that already.) Also saw the movie. Did you only see the movie? If you did, then this Hunger Games Hob Stew probably won't make a whole lot of sense. They don't talk about Greasy Sae in the movie and they barely touch on The Hob.
Greasy Sae lives in District 12 and does business in The Hob (black market). She makes stew from whatever she can trade for (Katniss and Gale hunt and forage for her in the woods) and sells it (even to the Peacekeepers!). So, I channeled my inner Greasy Sae today and made this delicious stew for my friend's Hunger Games Party. Yes, Hunger Games Party. I know you're jealous. This Chicken and Sausage Stew is rich, hearty, and full of flavor. It goes wonderfully with homemade bread like a rustic No Knead Cheesy Garlic Tavern Bread!
Hunger Games Hob Stew, Ingredients:
- 12 cups chicken stock or broth
- 6 Italian sausage links, uncooked (I used half hot and half mild, should equal about 4 cups of sausage when cooked and chopped)
- 1 medium sweet yellow onion, chopped
- 2 green bell peppers, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced (I'm in LOVE with my garlic press)
- 2 cups carrots, chopped
- 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes, drained
- 3 cups uncooked mixed beans* (I used the HamBeens 15 bean soup mix, without the flavor packet)
- 4 cups cooked and chopped chicken breast (click here to learn how to always have cooked chicken breast on hand!)
Hunger Games Hob Stew, Directions:
- (If you want to do things all right and proper, rinse your beans and soak them in a large covered pot overnight. I didn't do that.)
- Bring chicken stock to a boil and add uncooked sausage (I actually boiled 16 sausage links and set aside the extras for another dish. This is a great way to impart additional flavor into your soup while also saving yourself cooking time on your next sausage dish). Also add carrots, onion, green pepper, tomato, and garlic.
- Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer for about 30 – 45 minutes, until sausage is cooked through. Remove sausage and brown both sides in another pan on the stove top. Chop sausage into bite size pieces and set aside.
- Add beans to soup and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for two hours, or until beans are tender (this will happen faster if you were responsible about soaking your beans in advance).
- When beans are tender, add chicken and sausage to soup and simmer an additional 20 minutes. Add 1 – 2 cups of water, if necessary to achieve desired thickness.
- Serve and enjoy!
{Yields about 6.5 quarts}
*If you want to make your own bean mix, these are what were included in my package: northern pinto, large lima, yelloweye bean, garbanzo, baby lima, split pea, kidney, cranberry bean, small white, pink bean, small red, yellow split pea, lentil, navy, white kidney, and black bean.

Happy Thursday. Given yesterday's poll, you seem to agree with iTunes customers on the Black Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga tracks. (By the way, is it me or does part of the very awesome "Poker Face" remind anyone of that Glenn Frey song "You Belong to The City"? Just curious). Anyway, in other music news, we have one word: Sade. Billboard Champ. Third Week in a Row.That's right.Who knew she'd pull that off? Lady Antebellum continues to nip at her heels, and this country trio has plenty to crow about. Like being nominated for 7 trophies in this year's Academy of Country Music Awards. (Hosted by Reba McEntire, the ACM broadcast will be April 18th on CBS). Speaking of trophies, it really is Almost Oscar Time. Will we see a Big Former Mr. and Mrs. James Cameron Showdown on Sunday? Now this year, in addition to a) expanding the Best Picture category to 10 movies b) squishing thank-you speeches and c) eliminating live Best Song performances, we will of course be treated to not one but two Oscar hosts: Alec Baldwin & Steve Martin. Say what you will, here's predicting a pretty funny show. As far as presenters go, they've got plenty of young, hot stars lined up, among them: Gerard Butler, Bradley Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal, Sam Worthington, & Chris Pine. That's in addition to Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart (sorry, we're told Rob Pattinson will be shooting a film, so fans will have to make do without the complete Twiumvirate). Planning on staying in this weekend while you make decorations for your Oscar party? You might want to check out some of this week's brand new DVD releases, like 2012, Where The Wild Things Are, & The Pivate Lives of Pippa Lee. If you want to go to the movies, you've got some options too – more on them tomorrow. Suffice it to say, Johnny Depp's probably going to have a pretty good weekend. But now, let's take another early Academy Awards vote with YOU as judges. Voice your choice in today's featured poll and let us know, if the Oscars were today, which one of these guys (other than apparent front-runner Jeff Bridges) would be your pick for Best Actor?
1) George Clooney
2) Morgan Freeman
3) Jeremy Renner
4) Colin Firth

n my humble opinion, benzodiazepines are not evil. Nor are they magical. They're just drugs—with the potential to do good or ill, depending on dose, administration, the patient, etc., etc. They do many things well, help many people, and when prescribed by a knowledgeable physician and taken by a responsible patient, they can alleviate suffering. When the New York Times Magazine lambasted "Valiumania" decades ago, I thought that unfair.
But the triazolobenzodiazepines triazolam (Halcion and others) and alprazolam (Xanax and others) have always given me pause. Patients, friends, and colleagues have forgotten whole mornings' activities after a bedtime dose of triazolam due to its powerful anterograde amnesia. It was withdrawn from the market in several countries because of these cognitive disturbances.
All benzodiazepines can, of course, be abused. But alprazolam gives more of a "buzz" than I've seen with other benzos. Its withdrawal effects are intense and dangerous. Patients taking maintenance doses of alprazolam watch the clock, eagerly awaiting their next dose. And boy, is it hard to get many patients to stop that medicine.
Some of the properties of triazolam and alprazolam may be due to their pharmacodynamic properties and receptor effects. Others likely reflect their pharmacokinetics—namely, their brief half-lives. I try to avoid prescribing them, favoring other members of the class when a benzo makes sense.
Given these opinions, I was dismayed to read in November's Psychiatric Times that, of more than 250 million prescriptions for psychiatric drugs written in the U.S., alprazolam was far and away #1! Almost 50 million prescriptions were written last year for brand-name Xanax or generic forms.
I suspect most of the prescriptions are written by primary care practitioners, rather than psychiatrists. It's a disappointing pattern.

Whether or not there's a gay gene, the fact is that being gay is a crucial part of people's identity, and not something they can just change at whim. I guess they could choose not to act on it, but no one can choose who they are attracted to. Many gay people have tried, but why put pressure on people to do that? Gay people are not the problem - people who don't accept them are. People can believe whatever they want, but they shouldn't bully or discriminate against people, regardless of their beliefs.
What's wrong with compassion and sympathy? And throw empathy in there while you're at it. Hate doesn't make you tough. It makes you an *******.
The whole "bullying makes you tough" theory is a myth and has been debunked by research. People who were bullied in school grow up to have more emotional problems, not less. I'm not in favor of coddling everybody, but I don't apologize for envisioning a better world where people showed more respect for each other. If you really care about people and want them to be strong, create a safe space where they can feel free to be themselves and take risks while knowing they have a support system to return to even if they fail.
Now pass me a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich, fool. Fat Elvis ain't no pansy - he's a karate-chopping bad-ass. Recognize

officers continues
By Josh Troy
John Turbeville, vice president of UBS Financial Services of Little Rock, spoke Tuesday to the Russellville City Council during its agenda preparation meeting at City Hall about its decision last month to rescind a $200 monthly benefit increase for each of the 10 retired officers currently on the pension system.
"That's ($200) pretty steep, isn't it," Alderman Robert Wiley, said.
Alderman Randal Crouch said the Russellville Police Pension Review Board (PRB) should not be managing the benefit increases.
"It seems to me it should be managed by an external outside group," Crouch said.
Turbeville said he used the cash flow system to determine the pay. The cash flow takes life expectancies, current assets, anticipated income and benefits that will be paid over the expected life of retirees.
"If a plan is financially sound, you'd know if you're financially sound," Turbeville said.
In September 2004, when the review board approved the benefit increase, Turbeville said cities with 50 or less employees on the pension plan could legally use the cash flow method, unlike in the past.
The benefit increase was first approved by the City Council in June 2004. The board reviewed and adopted the increase based on Rule 4 of the Arkansas Fire and Police Pension Review Board.
It reads, "The local pension board, as well as the local city council, must certify to the PRB that they understand the risks involved in using a cash flow model for a small group, and that they assume responsibility for any future funding shortfall risk that might occur as a result of the utilization of the Alternate Cash Flow Projection Valuation."
David Clark, executive director of the Arkansas Fire and Police Pension Review Board, filed a complaint earlier in the year that alleged Russellville police pension authorities of improperly paying its members too much money because they did not receive permission from the state board. The council responded by rescinding the benefit in June.
Scott Harper, secretary of the local pension board, said Tuesday he did not see a problem with the benefit increases not only since the money was available, but also because the state pension review board in Little Rock oversees the local pension board.
"What we were trying to do was trying to get a cost of living benefit," Harper said. "We can't call it a raise. At the time, we had that benefit because we were trying to go to this alternate cash flow method."
According to Harper, if the 10 retired employees do not receive their pension, the money would either go the city or LOPFI a retirement plan for officers who started after 1983. If there is still money in the fund after the 10 employees die, Harper said, he would rather it go to the city than the LOPFI plan.
Turbeville said the pension system, which started in 1977, has $4 million in assets. He said approximately $310,000 annually would come out of the fund to pay the retired employees.
The pension system started in 1977, and at one time benefited 13 retired police officers. Three of those officers have since died, and the local pension system will end once the other 10 die.
Just in court fines and revenue, Turbeville said the fund would receive an estimated $200,000 in revenue each year. He said investments had not yet been taken into consideration.
Crouch said the plan had been managed well, but he said the council should be able to maintain the plan if something were to go wrong.
Alderman and Finance Committee Chair Cliff Kirchner said the city would be at risk and libelous if something went wrong.
"I don't see you at risk," Kirchner said. "I see the city and the taxpayers at risk."
Crouch said the city would be responsible for paying the extra money if the pension fund did not have enough. He said lump sum payoffs would be a good alternative method.
"Many companies are doing lump sum payoffs to retired plans," Crouch said.
Turbeville will address the council again at its July 23 meeting at City Hall.

Gibson struggles, optioned by Twins after loss
MINNEAPOLIS -- Even though he was coming off Tommy John surgery and had an innings limit in place, many in and around the Twins' organization expected Kyle Gibson to make an immediate impact as a rookie this year.
But Gibson's first stint in the Majors didn't go according to plan, and it ended unceremoniously on Monday afternoon, as he was optioned to Triple-A Rochester following another tough outing.Full Game Coverage
MINNEAPOLIS -- Even though he was coming off Tommy John surgery and had an innings limit in place, many in and around the Twins' organization expected Kyle Gibson to make an immediate impact as a rookie this year.
But Gibson's first stint in the Majors didn't go according to plan, and it ended unceremoniously on Monday afternoon, as he was optioned to Triple-A Rochester following another tough outing.Full Game Coverage
Gibson was roughed up yet again, and the Twins couldn't get much going offensively in a 6-1 loss to the Mets in a makeup game from April 14 at Target Field.
Gibson was hit hard, as he lasted just 3 2/3 innings, giving up four runs on 10 hits and two walks. It raised the highly touted right-hander's ERA to 6.53 in 10 starts with Minnesota this year.
"I think a lot of it was coming up here and trying to do too much," Gibson said. "I understand the hitters up here are better, and I haven't been able to make good enough pitches when I'm behind in the count or even ahead in the count. I'm just not locating or throwing good pitches."
Gibson isn't expected to pitch much for the Red Wings, as he has thrown a combined 143 2/3 innings between Triple-A Rochester and the Twins this year. He's set to meet with Minnesota general manager Terry Ryan, who is currently in Rochester, to come up with a plan for the rest of the season.
But Gibson could see at least another start or two with Rochester to end the year on a better note after struggling in the big leagues. The Twins will also wait until at least Tuesday to recall a player, and their starter for Saturday's game in Cleveland is to be announced.
"He's frustrated, but I think he knows what he needs to do to improve," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "His stuff is good and his sinker moves, but his command isn't there yet."
The Mets jumped all over Gibson in a hurry, as he loaded the bases with one out in the first before Andrew Brown delivered an RBI single. But Gibson was able to get Wilmer Flores to ground into an inning-ending double play to limit the damage.
It was more of the same in the second, when Juan Lagares and Omar Quintanilla both singled with one out before Eric Young Jr. drove home Lagares with a single to left field. But Quintanilla was thrown out trying to advance to third base on the play.
New York struck with two more runs in the fourth, when Gibson loaded the bases with nobody out. Quintanilla brought home a run with an RBI single before Young lined into a double play at third base. Daniel Murphy then came through with a two-out RBI single to knock Gibson out of the game to mark his second-shortest outing of the year.
"If you go back and look at the video, it's not a mystery why I'm struggling right now," Gibson said. "I went back and out of the [72] pitches, I hit my spot on 27 of them. Obviously, that's not good enough, so I have a lot of stuff I need to work on."
Right-hander Anthony Swarzak pitched in long relief of Gibson and went three innings, allowing one run on three hits and a walk with five strikeouts. Swarzak, who could be moved into a starting role in Gibson's absence, gave up the run in the seventh on a two-out RBI single from Flores in the seventh inning.
Marlon Byrd punctuated the Mets' scoring with a solo homer in the ninth on the first pitch he saw from Jared Burton.
Minnesota's offense, meanwhile, didn't score until the seventh against right-hander Dillon Gee. Gee went 7 2/3 strong innings, surrendering just one unearned run on six hits and a walk, with nine strikeouts.
"I just tried to mix up my pitches for strikes," Gee said. "And elevating and throwing a couple changeups and curveballs, and just try to catch them with a high fastball."
The one run came with the help of an error, as Trevor Plouffe doubled with two outs in the seventh and scored on an error from Murphy at second base on a grounder hit by Clete Thomas.
The Twins went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position to suffer their fourth straight defeat. They've combined to hit just .122 (6-for-49) with runners in scoring position in those four losses.
"The offense did nothing today," Gardenhire said. "Again, we missed opportunities with runners on, and it seems like that's the ongoing theme."
