Diner Reviews
All the food was really good. The
Lamb Meatball was a little dry, but the flavors were all there. Amazing pasta small plates - the anglonotti and gnocchi were amazing!!! We also had the steak and scallop large plates -- divine! The suckling pig was good -- but not as strong as the steak and scallop entrees! I will be back -- wine list is fantastic and service was great! A must do -- and go to share -- you get to try more things that way!"

First time at Oak Tavern. We
showed up at about 9:30 for a 10:00 PM reservation and were greeted by two beautiful girls at the front desk - very friendly and accommodating. We were offered a table outside right away or wait for an inside table - we chose to wait and had drinks at the bar. Very friendly atmosphere and a great bartender. At about 10:15 we walked back to the front desk and they had a table ready for us - a great corner booth. The waitress was great, the food was eclectic and very well prepared. We had appetizers - the lamb meatballs and cod croquettes were wonderful, large plates - lamb chops and red snapper - and dessert - cherry pie - with a bottle of wine - highly recommended and not expensive either."

Since Michael's Genuine started,
quite a few restaurants have copied the concept, with more or less success. Oak Tavern is definitely a concept restaurant which does its job well. The ambience is clean and pleasant without overdoing it, service is impecable, and the food was very good. The apperizers are vey small, but delicious, and the entrees, albeit also on the small size, perfectly presented and quite filling. All in all a pleasant experience, with one little critic, if I may: why do restaurants in general, including this one, gouge its patrons with way overpriced alcoholic drinks? I know this is a great money maker, but if the prices were a bit more "reasonable" than the competition, more patrons would go and consume more!"

fresh ingredients, innovative

too i love that place."

We always feel good when we are
there. Great menu, tasty food, great atmosphere either inside or outside, and always great hospitality. Prices very reasonable. The kale salad was very tasty, as well as the octopus, sea urchin, sea scallops and salmon. Can't ask for tastier food. The biscuits are addictive! We have always found that the manager, Gary, to be extremely professional, sharp and very personable. We are looking foward to going back again."

Food service and ambiance, the old
Piccadilly place has been reborn and is top notch, service by our French waiter was fantastic, food was super!"
Dined on 6/29/2014
the food and service are
excellent. The pork and the short ribs are among the best I have eaten. The only thing to watch out for is that it can be a bit noisy..especially inside...if you want a quiet place, this is not for you."
Dined on 6/28/2014
This restaurant is a longtime
favorite of mine. The Pot de creme is something I talk about to everyone. I was a bit disappointed when I noticed that they had taken some favorites off the menu and limited the choices and raised the prices a bit. Also, the vegatarian options are a bit limited. I still love the place though and will have to return for the dessert and drinks"
Dined on 6/28/2014
Excellent food and reasonably
priced outdoor dinning spot. Well curated wine list and top pick from menu was the bone marrow. Definitely coming back."
Dined on 6/27/2014
Very noise beyond a level to have
a conversation with out yelling! Food tastes are good but our order was not all delivered Ordered wine was never delivered VERY DISAPPOINTING! There are a lot better places to enjoy a night out"
Dined on 6/21/2014
I have now been for brunch and
dinner and was not impressed. The descriptions sound better than the dishes. The prices are also a bit high for what you get. I ordered the veggie pizza and for almost $20 it's very small. The description had squash flowers and I didn't see any--just a ton of zucchini. The biscuits they give everyone are good. I remember my husband saying that the brunch portions were also not that big for the prices. The outside is great for outdoor dining and they seem to have a pretty extensive cocktail menu."
Dined on 6/10/2014
Tavern takes some of the favorites
and ups them. The pastrami is house made. The burger has an edge. Even the ketchup is homemade with its own distinctive flavor. Recognizable food with an unexpected twist. +1"
Dined on 6/10/2014
I've been several times for dinner
and happy hour and recently for brunch. All I can say is WOW. We had the deviled eggs, pancakes, eggs benedict, and smoked salmon. Every dish was perfect, had it's own uniqueness, and absolutely delicious. It was my friends' first time and they couldn't stop raving and wondering why they hadn't been there before."
Dined on 6/1/2014
We ordered the crab stuffed
omelette, oatmeal and chicken and waffles, lots of Bellini's and Mimosa's. The omelette and oatmeal was wonderful. The Bellini's and mimosas kept coming - wonderful. However the chicken and waffles was terrible. The waffle was so hard, it was like a brick and the chicken was extra greasy and tasted like it had sugar in it. It was quite disgusting. I pulled the chicken apart and tried to eat the inside but it still wasn't any good. So I sent it back. They did t take it off the ticket, but it's ok. The service was excellent, eclectic and wonderful server. The valet was excellent as well. We sat outside and it was like an English garden scene....great....would've been perfect if my meal was good."
Dined on 5/25/2014
This was not my first time for
brunch but it will be my last! Food was very disappointing. Ordered two sticky buns and when the waitress brought them it looked liked one was half eaten. The burratta appetizer was so small it was only enough for one! Eggs were overcooked. Brought my son from out of town here to eat and I was very disappointed. Have dinner plans to entertain here in a week but not sure now. "
Dined on 5/18/2014
We were looking for a place to
have a late night dinner after the theater in downtown. So happy we found Oak. We tried a number of the appetizers, never even got to trying the meals. The Octopus a la plancha was fantastic, and there is no way to adequately describe how good the bacon marmalade and blue cheese toast tasted."
Dined on 5/16/2014
Excellent service and some serious
standout dishes."

A bit out of the way location, but
worth the search. Very Good Food. Nice wait staff (Angelica). Totally enjoyable. Very nice looking decor."
Dined on 4/27/2014
I reported these people to the
Health Department. I ordered the coconut crusted French toast with bananas, whipped cream and chocolate shavings. My daughter and I were enjoying it, it was delicious....until I bit down on something hard which was so strange because this was melt in your mouth French toast, nothing hard about it. I pulled the hard object out of my mouth and it turned out to be a large piece of broken glass! I was completely freaked out and didn't trust or want to eat any more of the food. Both the waiter and manager were very blasé when I told them about the glass, as though all they'd done was serve me a dish that didn't taste good. I understand things break, mistakes happen but the blasé attitude was like this was normal."
Dined on 4/20/2014
This place has a Greenwich Village
vibe and great food."
Dined on 4/19/2014
Had been wanting to try this
restaurant for a while and finally went for lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. My tuna with salad was simply awful. Greens were oversaturated with oil and the tuna was overly spiced with a very unflavorful marinade. Bread was burnt and greasy. My friend said the halibut was good. The only saving grace was the coconut sorbet for dessert. Server was attentive. Way too expensive for the quality of the food. Would definitely not go back."
Dined on 4/14/2014
The food pairings were spot on and
they accommodated any needs we had in regards to food choices. Great experience."
Dined on 4/11/2014
Oak Tavern has a really nice
brunch. Probably the best pancakes I have ever had!"
Dined on 4/6/2014
We enjoyed excellent food from a
really great server, would recommend! Mostly local vegetables, fish and other ingredients. Very nice chef-inspired menu."
Dined on 4/4/2014
We came here with our friends
visiting from France. They loved the place....great food and wonderful service. If you can make the French happy with a restaurant, you are clearly doing something right. They loved the friendly staff and service. We started with the charcuterie platter; and the table ordered a couple of burgers, two salmon and risotto plates and the sea scallop plate. Finished with inventive desserts. The wine list is short but well balanced. We picked the Bianchi Petite Sirah, which perfect for the variety of dishes. And again, our friends thought the wine was spectacular. Between the River and Oak, you can't go wrong. Keep it up the good work David."
Dined on 3/27/2014
been several times. outdoor garden
is beautiful. much quieter than inside.food very nice, this visit the service was poor. very slow. forgot our order. brought 2 of one entree and forgot the other. by the time they brought the correct one, everyone else had finished eating. we had to Constantly ask for utensils. we took friends who had never been there and I felt bad that the service was so poor. we were a big group so the tip was added automatically..."
Dined on 3/22/2014
Great casual dining. Imaginative
selection of small and large plates. Casual setting, delicious and tapas-driven, and fairly reasonable pricing. Nice selection of craft beers and good off-the-track wine list. So much change in the Design District, yet Oak remains a stalwart."
Dined on 3/22/2014
Everything was perfect. Food,
waiter, excellent service. They did forget two appetizers but we didn't care."
Dined on 3/21/2014
The scrambled egg bacon truffle
oil pizza is amazing. Coconut French toast w bananas and rum sauce serves as a to-die-for brunch dessert. So many more interesting choices than any other brunch!"
Dined on 3/16/2014
Food, service and atmosphere were
all very nice and I would definitely go back. We went for lunch on a lovely day and sat outside, which was perfect for our out-of-town guests. I look forward to trying out dinner. Oak tavern was recommended to us and we were not disappointed!"

This was our second time eating at
Oak Tavern and we the food, service and experience was awesome! Definitely on my list of favourites!"
Dined on 3/13/2014
Food was excellent. Many choices
and lots of little plates. kale salad and scallops were wonderful. There should be an area that is quiet if you really want to speak. it is noisy. the ambience is good."
Dined on 3/13/2014
the ambiance and food were
outstanding. We sat at the bar for about an hour prior to sitting down for dinner. The bartender was amazing, he offered samplings of the beers before we ordered and made excellent recommendations. We sat for dinner on the outside patio and the setting was gorgeous at sunset. Our food was great, our only complaint was the service outside. The restaurant was not seemingly busy, but our waiter took his sweet time to make stops to our table. Drinks ordered would arrive after asking a second or third time for them. We ordered a mixture of small plates, flatbread, oysters and large plates and the order in which the food arrived was in no specific order. The oysters were beyond amazing and very clean."
Dined on 3/9/2014
Even WITH 8p reservation our party
of 4 had to wait over 40minutes. When I approached the manager after waiting 30min the manager said, "30min waiting is industry standard." Not acceptable. Wine glasses had that fishy dish washer smell and our waiter didn't even apologize and disappeared for 10min before showing up with new glasses. Food was a poor version of a Famous restaurant across street. "
Dined on 3/8/2014
The menu is unique and delicious.
We enjoyed twelve small and two large plates for a party of four."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Food and service are great!
Brunch's all you can drink is unique in that you can mix and match several options."
Dined on 3/2/2014
The small plates were fantastic.
We picked this place solely off Open Table's recommendations, and the food was super delicious and flavorful, the atmosphere was great and lively. We liked the cocktails as well, although the second round was more lackluster (my manhattan was watered down, and the fruity cocktails were not accompanied by fruit). The small plates were the best, and our entrees were all excellent."

VWC P & O Requirements
General Requirements
All documents must be sent together. The Commission will not hold the file for the missing documents. Exception: Where the settlement papers are prepared by counsel for the carrier, the Commission will wait five days for the employee's attorney to forward the required informational letter.
Documents shall be sent to the Commission's Richmond Office unless the file is in a Deputy Commissioner's regional office.
Because the Commission must mail a copy of the final Order or disposition of a proposal to all parties, the proposed Order must include the employer's correct name and address as well as the carrier's and/or third party administrator's name and address.
In accordance with the Supreme Court Rules, counsel licensed in Virginia must prepare all papers. Non-attorney insurance representatives cannot prepare the Petition and Order. All endorsing attorneys must be licensed to practice in Virginia (Va. Workers' Compensation Comm'n R. 1.7(B)).
The Commission may require a conference with the employee before a settlement is approved.
The Commission's Processing Procedure
Settlement papers will be examined upon receipt to determine if the papers are properly executed, the appropriate information is contained, and the required documentation is provided. All parties must initial any addendum to the original documents.
Settlement papers that are technically compliant will be reviewed to determine if the settlement is in the best interest of the employee. Parties will be notified if a conference is required or if additional information is necessary. It is therefore unnecessary to contact the Commission. The parties will be notified in writing if a settlement proposal is approved or declined. The Commission carefully scrutinizes settlements and is particularly reluctant to approve a settlement that ends lifetime medical benefits.
Indemnification provisions concerning Medicare set-aside issues
The Commission discourages the inclusion of indemnification provisions in compromise settlements. The Commission will not approve any settlement that contains broad indemnification language, and will allow only indemnification provisions that are limited to issues of liability that are solely under the claimant's control (e.g. misapplication of set-aside funds, misrepresentation regarding Medicare eligibility or intent to apply for Medicare, etc.).
Ancillary agreements
All agreements related to the compromise settlement must be disclosed to the Commission and each settlement petition must contain a certification that either there are no such agreements or that all such agreements have been disclosed to the Commission. If the settlement documents reference an ancillary agreement which contains a general release of all claims, that agreement must contain a specific clause indicating that the release does not apply to any claims under the jurisdiction of the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission. Alternatively, the settlement order can contain the following (or similar) language:
The parties agree that any ancillary agreement shall not be construed to affect the claimant's rights or responsibilities with respect to Medicare, or to affect the claimant's rights with respect to any claim under the jurisdiction of the Commission. It is ORDERED that the Commission's approval of the settlement of the claimant's workers' compensation claim(s) referenced herein shall not be construed as the approval of the terms of any ancillary agreement.
Preparation Requirements for the Petition and Order:
Sample Petition for Guidance Only
Sample Order for Guidance Only
A. SIGNATURES. Signatures of all required parties must be on the documents. Under each signature, there must be the following:
1. Full typed name of individual;
2. Correct address of signer;
3. Name of business or law firm;
4. Name of party who counsel represents;
5. Title of Claims representative if signing;
6. Name of insurance company; and
7. Telephone number of each signer.
B. INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH. An introductory paragraph containing the following language is required.
The case is before the Commission upon Petition for Compromise Settlement seeking approval of settlement whereby employee receives ________ and upon payment employer and carrier are released from liability from _______________.
C. STATEMENT OF CASE. A statement of the case containing the following information must be included:
1. Date of accident or alleged accident;
2. Average weekly wage;
3. Dates for which compensation has been paid; and
4. Date of the most recent award, if any
D. PAYMENTS. The petition must state the amount of all payments made in the case:
1. To the employee;
2. To medical providers;
3. For vocational rehabilitation services and placement; and
4. The total amount paid on the case to date.
E. STATEMENT OF CONTROVERSY. A statement of the controversy leading to settlement must be included.
F. SUMMARY OF MEDICAL TREATMENT. A summary of medical treatment, including specific reference to most recent medical examination and conclusions of the doctor regarding future medical treatment, must be included (Recent medical reports must be submitted with the settlement documents).
G. STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT. A statement of the agreement is required, including at least:
1. The amount of money to be paid to the employee;
2. The agreement regarding medical treatment;
3. Identification of other pertinent settlement terms; and
4. The method of payment (such as lump sum, installment, or annuity).
H. COST OF TREATMENT DEADLINE. The documents must identify the last date for which the carrier will accept financial responsibility for the cost of medical treatment incurred by the claimant. If medicals are being paid through the date of approval, the Commission suggests the following language be included in the petition and order:
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defendants shall be responsible for medical treatment pursuant to §65.2-603 incurred by the claimant through the date of the entry of this Order approving the settlement, and the claimant shall be responsible for any and all medical expenses or any other costs incurred thereafter.
I. ATTORNEY FEES. The documents must include a clause that the employee understands that the Commission will award attorney fees that will be deducted from the settlement amount unless the petition and order contain an agreement to the contrary. In the proposed Order, the attorney fee and costs incurred portion of the Order must be blank. The Commission will enter these amounts.
J. PAYMENT AMOUNTS. The documents must include a clause containing space for the Commission to specify the amounts to be paid to the employee and the attorney.
K. SPOUSAL AND CHILD SUPPORT. The parties must file any documentation reflecting a legally enforceable spousal and/or child support order. The carrier, without the Commission's approval, can deduct for child support when the carrier has been served with a legally enforceable Order to Withhold.
The Commission's suggested language for addressing arrearages:
The defendants shall comply with any legally enforceable Division of Child Support Enforcement Order to Withhold to the extent required by law, and shall deduct an
appropriate sum from the claimant's net recovery."
L. SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY AND MEDICARE. If the claimant is currently entitled to Medicare; or the settlement is over $250,000.00 and there is a reasonable expectation of Medicare entitlement within 30 months, then the parties must appropriately address the Medicare as Secondary Payer Act, normally by a Medicare set-aside trust in an amount approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). If a Medicare set-aside trust is appropriate, documentation of approval by CMS is required. CMS does not require a review of WCMSA proposals for Medicare beneficiaries where the total settlement amount is less than $25,000.
If the claimant is receiving, or anticipates receiving, Social Security disability benefits, then the parties should appropriately address a potential lifetime pro-ration of the net settlement proceeds.
M. STRUCTURED SETTLEMENT OR ANNUITY LANGUAGE. If the settlement is structured or is funded by an annuity, the appropriate language must be included.
N. DEFERRED PAYMENTS. Cases involving deferred payments, whether by annuity of otherwise, must include a provision for payment to the employee's named beneficiary if the employee dies before the payment period expires. In the event the employee dies without naming a beneficiary or the beneficiary should die first, the provision must state that payment will be made to the employee's estate.
O. SIGNATURE OF DEPUTY COMMISSIONER. A statement for the Commissioner's entry and signature should appear in the following form:
Entered this _____day of ________, ____.
Deputy Commissioner
Documents Required in Addition to the Petition and Order
1. Medical reports to support the Petition and Order;
2. Statement from attorney explaining why the settlement is in the claimant's best interest.
3. A letter from the employee's counsel, or, if counsel is not retained, the employer's attorney, or the claimant, setting forth the following:
a. Procedural history of the case;
b. Personal history concerning the employee including age, family status, number of dependents, current employment status, and income from all sources;
c. Statement whether the employee is competent to enter into a settlement;
d. Statement regarding current medical status and treatment, including the existence of any permanent partial or total impairment;
e. Anticipated future medical expenses and whether other medical insurance will assist in payment;
f. Statement of the employee's intended use of the settlement proceeds;
- If outstanding debts are to be paid, list the total amount of the debts and payments that are to be made;
- If the proceeds are to be invested, identify the investments, amount, and terms. (For example, $5,000 to be placed in a certificate of deposit at 6-percent interest for five years);
- If the proceeds are to be invested in a business opportunity, identify and describe the business, amount of the investment and reasons why this is an appropriate use of the settlement funds; and
- A statement that the employee is literate in English or had the settlement papers read and explained in his native language. The identity of the translator must also be provided.
g. If medical benefits are being terminated, a statement explaining why this is in the claimant's best interest, and whether other medical insurance is available to the claimant. If medical benefits are not being paid through the date of the settlement Order, the parties must provide a satisfactory explanation. If there is an outstanding award of medical benefits, the parties must identify all outstanding medical bills, and explain why they are not being paid.
back to top
h. Blanket Release. A compromise settlement that includes a blanket release of all workers' compensation claims is not acceptable and will be rejected. A broad release will be accepted for claims arising from a particular accident(s) or occupational disease(s) for which the settlement is proposed. The settlement documents must identify the specific date(s) when the alleged accident or accidents are claimed to have occurred, and shall reflect the Jurisdiction Claim Number (or VWC File number) for each such accident (unless the VWC File number is not yet assigned). The Commission will allow the documents to contain a representation by the claimant that he is aware of no other accidents or occupational diseases arising from the employment except those for which he has previously given notice to the employer, filed a claim or received an award.
Sample information letter, which must be used by unrepresented claimants
Sample information letter which must be used by unrepresented beneficiary in fatal case
4. A notarized affidavit
Sample of this mandatory affidavit.
5. Child Support Order
6. Medicare approval letter for set-aside trust
7. A signed attorney fee agreement identifying the fee agreement, fee request, itemized time schedule, or other documents identifying the time spent and the basis for the fee request. The employee must acknowledge the fee request and state whether he or she is in agreement with the fee request.
Structured or Deferred Settlements for Payment Under an Annuity
All Petitions and Orders for settlements involving funding by an annuity must include the following information:
1. The petition shall state that the company issuing the annuity is authorized by the State Corporation Commission to transact the business of insurance in the Commonwealth and that, in case of default, the employer or carrier shall remain responsible for payment. The employer and carrier shall be the owner of the annuity policy. The claimant shall have no legal interest in the contract except as it relates to the payment of benefits.
2. Payments under the annuity contract shall be mailed directly by the Annuity Company to the claimant. The claimant shall be responsible for providing a current mailing address and mortality information to the Annuity Company.
3. The Petition and Order must also include a provision that if the employee dies for any reason before payment is complete, the payments will continue to be made unaccelerated to a beneficiary named by the employee. In the event the employee dies without naming a beneficiary or the beneficiary dies first, payments will be made to the employee's estate.
Structured or Deferred Settlements for Payment Without an Annuity
All Petition and Orders for structured or deferred settlements without an annuity must include the following language:
1. The employer and carrier are solely responsible for the payment of benefits under the terms of this Order.
2. The Petition and Order must also include a provision that if the employee dies for any reason before payment is complete, the payments will continue to be made unaccelerated to a beneficiary named by the employee. In the event the employee dies without naming a beneficiary or the beneficiary dies first, payments will be made to the employee's estate.

Chris Christie: 'I Am Not a Bully.' Not His Call to Make
- By Scott Eblin
- January 10, 2014
- Leave a comment
As I write this, Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey, has just finished a press conference to explain why he's not at fault for last year's George Washington Bridge toll lane closures that created nightmare commutes and endangered public safety for the citizens of Fort Lee, NJ. As you may have read, emails have surfaced that prove that lieutenants of Christie engineered the lane closures in retaliation for the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee not endorsing the re-election of the Republican governor. The smoking gun was an email from Christie's deputy chief of staff to his former campaign manager who worked at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey that said, "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."
The story has been brewing for months now and, as has been his M.O. as governor, Christie recently blew off questions about it with jokes that implied people were stupid for even asking about it. Once the emails came out this week that proved that some of his top staffers were behind the closures, Christie expressed his "outrage" that this kind of thing had gone on.
There were a lot of notable moments in Christie's press conference. One was when he talked about the "abject stupidity" of his just fired deputy chief of staff. Another was when he said, "I am not a bully."
Alas, if you have to declare you're not a bully, you probably are.

The mother of a woman who surfaced 11 years after disappearing and leaving behind her young children says her daughter is doing OK but "had a real traumatic time."
Jean Copenhaver, Brenda Heist's mother, is a resident of Brenham, Texas.
Copenhaver spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday about her 54-year-old daughter Brenda.
Copenhaver says she's spoken with Heist several times since Friday, when her daughter turned herself in to police in Florida and was identified as a missing person.
Copenhaver says Heist plans to live with her, but for now she's staying with a brother in northern Florida.
Heist told police she made a spur-of-the-moment decision in 2002 to join a group of homeless hitchhikers on their way to Florida, walking out on her 8-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old son.

Shapes by Design (1)--Pocket Card
Today's tutorial is one of my favourites. As you know from the first card that I shared with you I really enjoy cards that have a special component to them. Pocket cards are perfect because they are different from your regular day to day cards.
I began today's project by stamping a sheet 4x5.25 using black ink.
Next, I "filled" the shape using the solid circle stamp and a light green.
Then I filled the the outer edges using a green marker.
I cut out the centre image (the very small square) to mask it off from the rest of the rectangle. Next I took the rectangle stamp and stamped over the image using the light green to give it some extra colour. (see image below close to the ink pad)
I punched out the word window and stamped the word celebrate on it. And set it aside for "building" my layers.
Using a piece of paper 5.5x11 I scored .5 from either edge and in the center at 5.5.
Here is a photo of what it looked like when I was finished.
I adhered each edge and squeezed them together to create a pocket.
Here is a close-up of the pocket.
I lined up the punch and punched one side using the 1 1/4. You can see I only punched a half circle.
Here is the final project. I created a quick card to put in the pocket.
Here is a close up of the project.
paper: Stampers Select White by Papertrey Ink, Gable Green by SU!, Green Galore by SU!, River Rock by SU!

We cover news on the business of sports.
In the aftermath of the Reggie Bush scandal and the subsequent potential of stripping him of his Heisman Award, much debate has centered on whether college athletes should be paid for their services to perhaps avoid such fiascos.
Several ex-NFL players turned football analysts, such as Marcellus Wiley and Desmond Howard of ESPN, come down strongly on the side of the players…mocking the NCAA rulebook, suggesting it's a no-brainer to pay these athletes, and that if such payments were made legal then we wouldn't see some of the issues that have arisen in recent years.
Though I agree with some of their points, arguing that college athletes should be paid is overly simplistic because:
a) They already do get paid in terms of cost savings on tuition/fees and a lifetime earnings stream above that of high school graduates if they utilize their diplomas;
b) Allowing free market financial bidding upon high school athletes would likely exacerbate the degree of competitive imbalance in college athletics;
c) The bulk of the revenues generated from college athletics (ticket sales, media revenue, alumni contributions) are due to the school's brand…not individual student-athletes.
That said, some sources of revenue (e.g. merchandise and licensing royalties) are more clearly tied to a small but select group of marquee performers. Giving such student-athletes a percentage of these revenues seems entirely appropriate, though the timing of the allocation should perhaps be contingent upon appropriate academic progress…with some allowances for a person's financial circumstances if there are family hardships.
Direct Savings from Tuition and Fees
Consistent with a common NCAA mantra featured in several of their commercials, most student-athletes go on to become professionals in an industry outside their sport of acclaim. Even in the 'revenue sports' of football and men's basketball, a large percentage of those student-athletes never earn a dime from playing their sport professionally.
So set aside the rare and scarce marquee athletes and focus on the rest for a minute when considering this data from College Board Headquarters:
So for a 4-year student-athlete on scholarship, the direct savings on average is between $28,000 and $104,000. Given that most student-athletes are not personally responsible for this kind of revenue generation within their athletic departments, this alone is ample compensation for services rendered.
Never thought college athletes should be paid. They're getting a free ride and a degree (should they pursue it). They are not "exploited" – no one is holding a gun to their heads. They're offered free tution, room & board in exchange for playing a revenue-producing sport for the school. They're free to accept the offer or not. Would they rather be in welding school?
Fascinating and well detailed analysis. My disagreement with it would be twofold: I do not think it is possible to pronounce either the school or the student alone as being significantly more important as evidenced by the enormous resources schools spend on recruiting and the value placed on coaches who can do so successfully because of the economic benefits they bring to the school (as the great cover story by Monte Burke on Saban and Alabama two years ago detailed); the economic benefits to the NCAA as a whole are far greater than the free tuition, etc. the student athletes get.
If the purpose of going to college is to make much more money than one would otherwise earn, I have a good understanding of Mr. Patrick Lishe's article. However, many, possibly most, academicians think that is no part of the purpose at all. If the latter is correct and if it is also true that most scholarship athletes at football factories never become professionals then it seems these kids have been sold a line of goods of no use to them if college itself is of no use to them, and that seems to be the case for the great majority of them.
Surely there must be a better way to resolve the dispute concerning the compensation of athletes. (1) Abandon the quaint idea that athletes are in school for an education. (2) Pay them for their labors directly and quit this silly talk of the value of an education. (3) Make free or drastically reduced tuition fees available for all those athlete-employees who want to take advantage of that. I suspect that not many will but not much depends on that. Universities are already involved in so many noneducational businesses that to admit to one more will only be a welcome show of honesty.

I wonder what new information the police found. IIRC, her death was originally ruled an accident.
DH - and that's just my opinion
A book has just come out written by the captain of the ship. Apparently Wagner wouldn't let him call the Coast Guard when Natalie and a dinghy went "missing."
Keeper of Nathalie Pechelat's bitchface.
Poor Robert. He's too old to be in prison garb. But hey he's had almost 30 years free after her 'accident'. About time he pays the piper.
Witnesses that night heard Natalie screaming for help but did nothing. Reminds me of the JonBenet Ramsey case where neighbors heard her scream in the middle of the night, did nothing, and again another cold case. The Ramsey's next door neighbor even said that she heard a little girl scream in the middle of the night, and figured it was JonBenet, yet failed to do anything.
And it has always been common knowledge that Natalie Wood had a phobia about water, and especially dark water. How ironic that she died in dark water.

Is Lana Wood still alive? She said she would not reveal the man that raped Natalie when she was 15 until after he died. Well, Kirk Douglas has been dead now for years, so what's she waiting for?

I always think of what happened when Bing Crosby's son and Joan Crawford's daughter wrote autobiographies that portrayed their parents differently than the image the public had fallen in love with.
There always was something odd about the circumstances of Natalie's death.
Oopsie, so that's why Lana hasn't come out yet with Natalie's rapist. Sorry....
(I just realized I confused Kirk with Lloyd Bridges who died years ago, for whatever reason I confused the two old coots)
And yes, Chris Walken was on the Splendour that night. What conventional wisdom has determined is that she, in a booze and pilled state, was having sex with Chris and Robert got angry and put her out on the dinghy boat scaring her to death. She overreacted, slid off the dinghy and drowned after 20 minutes of screaming for help. I believe Robert had Chris at gunpoint too. It was ugly, and a screaming Natalie got lost in the drama.
What an amazing development.
I really liked Natalie Wood in 1979 TV version of From here to Eternity, and of course there will always be Splendor In The Grass to remember her.
I adore her acting in Splendour in the Grass.

Louis Woodhill, Contributor
I apply unconventional logic to economic issues.
President Obama has announced a goal of having one million electric cars on American roads by 2015. The administration has allocated $2.4 billion in "stimulus" money to subsidize production of them, along with the batteries and other components that they use.
Unfortunately, electric cars are about to do a barrier crash into economic reality, and all the airbags in the world won't be able to save them. The taxpayers' $2.4 billion is destined to join Obama's $535 million investment in solar-panel manufacturer Solyndra at the bottom of the crony-capitalism "stimulus" rat hole.
The Nissan Leaf is the first mass-produced "battery electric vehicle" (BEV). It uses state-of-the-art lithium batteries. Despite this, the Leaf makes no sense at all. It costs more than twice as much ($35,430 vs. $17,250) as a comparable Nissan Versa, but it is much less capable. The Leaf accelerates more slowly than a Versa and has only about 25% of the range.
At $0.11/KWH for electricity and $4.00/gallon for gasoline, you would have to drive the Leaf 164,000 miles to recover its additional purchase cost. Counting interest, the miles to payback is 197,000 miles. Because it is almost impossible to drive a Leaf more than 60 miles a day, the payback with interest would take more than nine years.
However, cost is not the biggest problem with BEVs.
On Wednesday, Jan. 26 a major snowstorm hit Washington D.C. Ten-mile homeward commutes took four hours. If there had been a million electric cars on American roads at the time, every single one of them in the DC area would have ended up stranded on the side of the road, dead. And, before they ran out of power, their drivers would have been forced to turn off the heat and the headlights in a desperate effort to eek out a few more miles of range.
This illustrates the biggest drawback of BEVs, which is not range, but refueling time. A few minutes spent at a gas station will give a conventional car 300 to 400 miles of range. In contrast, it takes 20 hours to completely recharge a Nissan Leaf from 110V house current. An extra-cost 240V charger shortens this time to 8 hours. There are expensive 480V chargers that can cut this time to 4 hours, but Nissan cautions that using them very often will shorten the life of the car's batteries.
No doubt some conventional cars ran out of gas while trapped in the massive traffic jams that occurred in and around the nation's capital the night of January 26. However, a two-gallon can of gasoline can get a stalled conventional car moving again in a few minutes. In contrast, every dead BEV would have had to be loaded on flatbed tow truck and taken somewhere for many hours of recharging before it could be driven again.
Nissan claims that the range of a Leaf is about 100 miles. However, in their three-month extended road test, Car and Driver magazine obtained an average range from a full charge of 58 miles. Cold weather and fast driving can shorten this to as little as 30 miles.
I've never read an article from such an un-informed writer full of items based on opinions being stated as facts! Not sure where you got your oppinions, but I really do recommend you actually do your research before you write stuff, almost nothing in this article is true!
This article makes you look like a fool! I'm surprised that such a reputable brand would even allow this article to be posted.
Electric vehicles are an extraordinarily good idea, unless of course, you want to be forever dependent on foreign oil and volatile gasoline prices. More than one half of the oil we consume is imported, some of it from unstable regions, leaving the United States vulnerable to supply disruptions and price volatility. This is why the U.S. national security community believes electric vehicles have a significant role to play in securing our energy future.
In addition, electric vehicles provide immediate benefits to the consumer. Most Americans' daily commute is about 31 miles round-trip, which is well below the battery range of today's electric vehicles. And consumers can operate EVs for just two to three cents per mile and for less than one dollar per gallon-equivalent.
Mr. Woodhill, however, clearly has it in for the battery electric vehicles (BEVs) – the Nissan Leaf in particular – but at least 10,000 drivers disagree with him. As autobloggreen reported last month, sales of the Leaf officially cracked the 10,000-car milestone. The company sold 1,708 cars in July alone. Edmunds bragged that with the introduction of the Leaf, "a real electric car is finally here," and CNet wrote a very balanced view of the automobile, noting limitations in its driving range, while also calling it "a perfect car for many commuters," in part because running a car on electricity is far less expensive than gasoline.
As for as the January 26 snowstorm that hit the Washington, DC area, I made my four-hour commute home that evening in my Chevy Volt. It has a battery range of 40 miles and a gasoline-powered generator that can kick in to propel it an additional 300 miles. What was immediately obvious to me wasn't the gloom and doom scenario painted by Mr. Woodhill of a million electric cars stranded by the road side because they'd run out of juice; it was that my car handled extremely well in the treacherous driving conditions, enabling me to maneuver around the many stuck and abandoned traditional automobiles whose wheels had lost the road.
More than 20 different electric vehicles will hit the market within the next few years, with components being manufactured in as many states. Different types of electric vehicles, whether battery-only or hybrid, will suit different drivers. Most major automobile companies are producing them, consumers are purchasing them, and the nation's electric companies are fueling them.
- Tom Kuhn, President, Edison Electric Institute, Washington, DC
Wow! It's been too long since I laughed at a (so-called) journalist blathering on about something (s)he knows nothing about. Thanks!
1) Short range? Some EV's go for 200-300 miles
2) EV's run empty but gas'rs only need a jerry can?
sorry – wrong again – auto club trucks are now being equipped with charge equipment to get you on your way.
3) "Chargers" are expensive? Wrong again. The chargers are built into the car. You can use higher Voltage (240V) from your house – but YOU meant a separate charge CABLE. That's just an additional item you don't even need to get 240V from home.
4) Takes over your Life?
Um gee. Here we EV'rs were finding it takes LESS time than gas stations. 5 seconds to plug in – come back later going home and 5 seconds to unplug.
5) Turning off AC to get farther down the road?
Um … Gas car drivers do the same dumb thing … fail to manage their trips.
No point here, embarrassing the author any farther. Suffice to say, some folks have dinosaur thinking and some folks know the dinosaur fuel is running out … and who wants the U.S. to end up like Easter Island … exhausting all the resources – to the point you can't even leave the Island to go denude other landscapes. Then there's the who 911 thing. Maybe it doesn't bother the author that he's funding the next Al Queda flight school program. Good luck with that energy program my friend. Lastly, and this'll come as a surprise – but when society was forced to switch from horse & buggies to smelly cars, there was the same outcry you're complaining about. No infrastructure. Go read a history book. Believe it or not … all those asphalt roads and gas stations didn't used to be there. Times change. Here's to hoping you can get with the program.
First of all, $2.4 billion Pales in comparison to oil company subsidies over the years…not even close:
You are correct in your electric car mileage calculations. Try it on an eBike which gets over 2,000 mpg. You cant beat that. Payback in months.
Finally, battery costs will decline, count on it.
It takes me less than 3 hours to charge my LEAF to 80 percent overnight, and about 4 hrs. overnight for a full charge; 80% gives me plenty of range for my 50-mile daily round-trip commute, with power to spare to head out for lunch and run errands on the way home. It's the perfect commuting car. And I get the electricity for my LEAF from the solar panels on the roof of our house. We are powering our entire 2,500-square-foot home, with pool pump going year-round and air conditioning running much of the year (sunny SoCal), PLUS plugging in the LEAF to "gas up" every night, for a grand total of $40 plus tax per month for our 20-year, fixed-rate solar lease fee with Solar City. That's in place of an average $125/month electric bill and a $100/month gasoline bill (for our "old technology" Prius, which I used for daily commute until the LEAF arrived). If saving $185 a month doesn't make good business sense to the folks at Forbes, I humbly suggest that you don't have as much finance and business sense (much less common sense) as you ought to. As for the author of this blog, his association with Club for Growth says it all: he's only interested in industrial growth that benefits the old economy, and certainly not eager to support anything that the forward-thinking, alternative-energy-boosting President Obama might propose. For doing so might help the President's policies take hold and succeed, and heaven knows, the right wing and conservative economic interests can't let THAT happen, now can they?
If the electric cars are all so wonderful, how come the government has to subsidize their purchase?
If you bothered to read the comments, we explained in detail the massive subsidy given to the oil industry resulting in the low price at the pump that you pay. Read my first comment on page one near the bottom for details. If you paid the full cost of gas, it would be well over $8/gallon. Even you would want an EV then.
I'd like to say articles like this are laughable, but the stakes are too high. The big oil shills seem to be coming out of the woodwork of late.
Just like many who have already responded, our Leaf works exactly as expected, and in almost 5,000 trouble free miles has cost us zero in electricity, due to solar power(even though we do most charging at night).
Facts: We will save $20,000 in gasoline costs over 8 years. We will pay less for maintenance. We will pollute our air less. If you add the cost of gasoline and maintenance to a $17,000 Versa over 8 years, you will not save money over a Leaf. We will continue to enjoy driving a safe, quiet, smooth, fully featured, five passenger car for many years. Oh yeah, and it's a lot of fun accelerating onto a freeway!
I see that no one has refuted Louis's claims about CNG cars so I will add that since I have used CNG since 1999 and up to Mar. of this year when I sold my last CNG car to drive a LEAF. One of the biggest problems with CNG is you MUST use CLEAN fuel. Many pumps do not filter the compressor oil out enough and some of it got into my '90 Toyota which caused the car to FAIL emissions because of too much HC. My gasoline engine actually passed with lower emissions than the CNG! I had to get a one time waiver to drive my car because of the dirty CNG! After that car, I bought a Honda GX. It's pretty obvious that not only did our ignorant author not ever drive a BEV, but he's also never driven a GX or he would have known that the range is ONLY 140-150 (if you're a hypermiler) until the 'low fuel' light comes on and unless he wants 'range anxiety', you gotta head for the nearest CLEAN facility because only 50 miles is left and hope it's open or you have to drive to another one…oh my! So the total miles is LESS than 200, not 200-250. I filled my GX ONE time with Trillium CNG and because it put oil /HC into my lines, it cost me over $2500 in repairs! Oh, I forgot to mention that people who made their cars bi-fuel by converting it to CNG, had major problems all the time with stalling (very dangerous), rough idling, and low mileage. Natural gas is also one of our precious natural resources and we shouldn't be using it! Very little of it comes from landfills/biogas. Our Earth is going to react to all of this stealing of its natural resources, including oil! Btw, I also use PVs to charge my LEAF. :) You should be so ashamed Louis for writing such trash!
——-" Oh, I forgot to mention that people who made their cars bi-fuel by converting it to CNG, had major problems all the time with stalling (very dangerous), rough idling, and low mileage. "——-
I've gone thousands of miles in CNG powered vehicles and never seen any of those problems.
Propane conversions can have problems with vapor locks—but methane(CNG) is already a gas, it doesn't even need a fuel pump.

Superheroes reined this summer at the box office, but this year's "Best List" includes heroes of another kind, from an American president to U.S. soldiers.
Moviefone.com compiled this list of the top box office films this year. Many of the movies here will likely be showing up on Academy Award lists. The top is a movie about the U.S. soldiers who captured Osama Bin Laden. Here is the complete list wit a brief description from Moviefone.com critics:
It's a story most Americans are now very familiar with: the decade long manhunt for Osama bin Laden. Starting in the days after 9/11 and stretching to the night of OBL's death.
2. Argo
The true story of a group of Americans who attempt to escape Iran during the Hostage Crisis. Though the movie is both nail biting and feel-good, as 1970s political issues still bear a strong resonance in today's volatile landscape.
This film truly is an embarrassment of riches: brilliant n a long line of "Les Miserables" adaptations, this could end up being the definitive version, Moviefone.com critics said.
4. Lincoln
A match made in biopic heaven: Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis take on the story of The Great Emancipator in "Lincoln."
Quentin Tarantino's first "western"-themed movie, about a German bounty hunter freeing a southern slavery is at once a commentary on how barbaric the idea of slavery is/was and also a dark comedy about the horrors of the slave trade.
The film is a dark comedy with bits of romance thrown in. Two mentally ill people find one another, and work to deal with their shortcomings as well as their obvious budding romance through dance.
7. The Avengers
The ultimate superhero movie featuring Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk. "The Avengers" isn't just the culmination of a lofty Hollywood game plan, but every kid's playground fantasy, according to Moviefone.com.
8. The Master
All of the pre-release coverage for "The Master" focused on the film's thinly veiled profile of L. Ron Hubbard and the establishment of Scientology, but that's not really what the movie's about. Mainly, it's the story of a broken man (Joaquin Phoenix) who has been abandoned by society and is susceptible to manipulation.

Marin County Supervisor Judy Arnold wrote a letter to Grady Ranch supporters last week, encouraging them to attend the Tuesday meeting.
The letter said:
I have heard from many of you expressing your concern and frustration at the few individuals in Lucas Valley Estates that have caused George Lucas to believe that they will continue to delay his project and prevent him from his plans of a digital film operation.
There has been a suggestion that individuals who support the project come to Open Time at the Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, April 17 at 10:00am to state your support publicly so that George can see the webcast.
I am inviting you to come and do just that.
for the digital studio after
The Lucas Valley Estates Homeowners Association, after the , said in a letter that they don't oppose the project.
"We have raised concerns about public safety, environmental compliance and adherence to zoning regulations," the letter said. "We have continued to publicly suggest more well-suited locations in Marin County that could better benefit the local economy."
Tuesday's meeting begins at 10 a.m. in Romm 330 at the Marin Civic Center.

Having a large repertoire of dirty phrases that you can use on your man is important if want to keep things exciting in the bedroom (and outside the bedroom) as well as keeping him faithful. Below are 17 dirty talking phrases that you can use on your man right now, whether you are in bed, you are sending him a text message, you're on the phone, or you are both walking down a crowded street.
(P.S. These are just a small section of the dirty talking phrases, tips and messages that you will find in the dirty talking video).
But before I give you each of these phrases, there is a few crucial things that you must know about talking dirty to your man and making it work. This is simply because there is just no point in learning the words if you don't know how to use them properly. Let me explain.
How you talk dirty: When talking dirty to your man, you are going to find that you have a lot more success at turning your man on and building sexual tension if you do it confidently. So the next time you talk dirty to your man, make sure to speak slowly and clearly in a way that accentuates the meaning of the actual words. The last thing you want to do is stutter the words or say them incredibly fast or in a weird tone. My advice is to practice these dirty talking phrases a few times to yourself before you actually use them on your man.
Where you talk dirty: Where you talk dirty is just as important. When you are both in bed together, then you are going to talking dirty in a way that to enhances love making for both of you. But when you are together in a public place where nothing can happen, then you are going to be talking dirty in a way that builds sexual tension. So the things that you will be saying to your man will be quite different in each case. So now that I have talked a little bit about using dirty talk in a way that is most effective, it's time to learn some dirty talking phrases!
Dirty phrases to turn him on in bed:
- You feel so good on top of me.
- Just hearing you breath in my ear sends shivers down my spine.
- I love just touching your body. It feels incredible.
- I wish we could just stay in bed forever.
- Just like that!
- Faster!
- I love being your little minx in the bedroom.
- I want to taste you.
- Keep doing that.
- You're going to put me over the edge.
- You're making me too turned on.
If you want to learn more dirty phrases like these ones, then you'll find them in this detailed video tutorial where I'll teach you what to say and why.

One of the San Francisco Giants' key players in the team's 2012 World Series win had a run-in with authorities at the Las Vegas airport on New Year's Day, police said.
San Francisco Giants closer Sergio Romo was arrested at McCarran International Airport and cited for a violation of airport rules, Las Vegas police Officer Marcus Martin said.
Romo was going through a security checkpoint at about 9 a.m. Tuesday when allegedly he became agitated with Transportation Security Administration agents, Martin said.
Martin said Romo was standing in an aggressive stance and had clenched fists, and didn't back down when police officers arrived.
"You can't be uncooperative with TSA officials or you will be taken into custody," Martin said.
Romo was cited and released. It is unclear what the reason was for the encounter, Martin said.
A San Francisco Giants spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment.

I don't often play domination, but I played last night on black box. i like that there isn't really a traditional "B" flag in the middle of the map everyone is fighting to capture/defend. All three flags are equally hard to capture/ defend.
Re: Black Box is AWESOME!!theped26 Apr 14, 2012 5:23 PM (in response to DZAdb)
Love Black Box at the moment. If you run through the middle it's pure suicide....keep to the edges is best. My only problems with the new maps is serious lag and framerate drops but hopefully that will get better once they are put into rotation.

In my opinion Black Box is the worst MW3 map yet
Re: Black Box is AWESOME!!huntingnoluck Apr 15, 2012 5:35 PM (in response to DZAdb)
Last night it as played continuously in the lobby I was in. The last game I played things got super weird, started skipping and lagging, then suffered a couple of host migrations, until there was me on one side and only one person on the other team. Then players started dropping in (the ones on my team were speaking japanese that was a first!), then the teams started filling up with the same players who all left (or got kicked I don't know what happened). I still won, I say that because I capped the HQ and took out the other guy before the teams filled back up. Anyway my opinion on the black box is this; it is an ok map as long as you avoid the middle. Also it seems extremely familiar and only took a game to get a decent handle on, unlike liberation which still seems chunky and doesn't flow well for me.
Re: Black Box is AWESOME!!scumbaggah Apr 15, 2012 11:51 PM (in response to DZAdb)
Dom is fun on BB but kill confirmed is almost painful to play, It's pretty much impossible to pick up tags. You shoot someone across the map and die while trying to get the tag which gets denied anyway.. Every KC i have played on it has ended due to the time limit which has never happened to me before on the other maps.

A burglar who cut through a common wall at a Rancho Mirage medical marijuana dispensary and took an undisclosed amount of pot and cash before dawn Tuesday was later arrested in La Quinta with some damning evidence, sheriff's deputies said.
John Schiavone, 29, of La Quinta, was arrested on suspicion of breaking into The Spot Collective at 69-730 Highway 111, sheriff's Sgt. Brad Farwell said. The burglary in a strip mall was reported about 6:50 a.m.
Just last week, he was one of two men arrested in connection to a series of commercial burglaries in the area-- and had been released on $5,000 bail on Friday, according to jail records.
For this incident, a hole was found in a common wall in a vacant business next door, sheriff's Cpl. Angel Ramos said.
"They entered the pot dispensary through the side wall -- they basically cut a hole in the wall," he said.
Farwell said the burglar broke into an ATM inside the dispensary but did not say how much cash was taken.
Deputies later arrested Schiavone in the 52-600 block of Avenida Alvarado in La Quinta, and items stolen from the dispensary were found in his possession, Farwell said. Schiavone was booked on suspicion of commercial burglary, possession of stolen property and committing a felony while free on bail, Farwell said.
In October, the Grasshopper pot dispensary in Cathedral City was robbed and, in June, someone tried burn down the Collective Apothecary Prescription Service dispensary in Palm Springs.

Sunburn isn't the only sign of summer that can leave you itchy and blistered
You've got a rash. You quickly rule out the usual suspects: You haven't been gardening or hiking or even picnicking, so it's probably not a plant irritant such as poison ivy or wild parsnip; likewise, it's probably not chiggers or ticks carrying Lyme disease; and you haven't been swimming in a pond, which can harbor the parasite that causes swimmer's itch.

Meet the new Commissioner of Parks and Recreation, Jennifer A. Fava.
The current president of the New York State Recreation and Park Society, Fava will oversee the maintenance, staffing and program schedules of more than 20 town park facilities and the .
"Jennifer Fava brings to the role of Parks and Recreation Commissioner over 20 years of distinguished service in the parks and recreation field," Supervisor Jon Kaiman noted, in a statement.
According to Deputy Supervisor Christopher Senior, the search to fill this slot was "rigourous," with more than 100 applicants vying for the spot.
Fava was a member of the Westchester Recreation and Park Society and the National Recreation and Park Society. As superintendent of Parks and Recreation for the Town of Yorktown, she boosted revenue by 20 percent over five years, and developed and managed a multimillion dollar budget, according to a Town of North Hempstead spokesman. In this position she coordinated the expansion of a townwide trail system.
Buildings Department News
More than 60 architects, developers, and real estate attorneys met Monday with Kaiman and North Hempstead officials to discuss fine-tuning the town's Buildings Department to better serve both residents and industry professionals.
There, Kaiman announced the hiring of building department inspectors and clerical staff. He aims to hire more plans examiners and a new deputy commissioner. The industry experts at the meeting recieved a handout of proposed code changes and were asked for their feedback.
The meeting was held after a series of "brainstorming sessions" that will culminate with an April 30 conference on Building Departmen enhancements.
"The goal is to make the Buildings Department more user-friendly," Supervisor Kaiman said. "We want people to invest in improvements to our community, but we also want compliance with our building codes."
Coming off what the Supervisor called a "crisis" caused in part by a culture in which the codes were often interpreted differently or ignored, the Buildings Department came under restructuring with the ultimate goal of making it a national model.
"Supervisor Kaiman is sending a great message," said Richard Bivone, Nassau County Chair of the Long Island Business Council, in a statement. "It's the first time in my 27 years in the industry that I've seen any elected official reach out to the constituents to try to fix a problem. These meetings will go a long way to make it so that the public can go to the Buildings Department and efficiently conduct business."
The Town has scheduled additional work sessions with industry professionals before a April 30 conference.

ROCKPORT — A rummage sale this Saturday will kick off the multiple-day Old Sloop Fair at the First Congregational Church of Rockport, 12 School St.
The fair, hosted by the handicap-accessible church, will span three July weekends this year.
Saturday's rummage sale offers gently-used women's, men's and children's clothing, bed linens, luggage, handbags, and much more.
The silent auction, white elephant items, art mart, bake sale and other goods will be sold Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July 20.
The giant yard sale is set for Saturday, July 27.
People travel from across the country to come to Rockport for the fair, said Old Sloop Fair organizer Geof Lyon.
"There are people who plan their entire vacations around this fair," he said.
One of the more unique items being sold at the fair this year is an antique cash register.
The Old Sloop Fair has long been a popular Rockport summer attraction. It originated in 1957 under the guidance of the Rev. Ed Nutting. In the fair's early years, School Street was closed to traffic, festive lighting was erected, and a live auction was held in the street.
Proceeds from this year's fair will go toward the church's operating expenses and the restoration and preservation of its buildings.
"It's a good opportunity for the community to get together," Lyon said.
