NORMAN — The Sooner football season has started. Throughout this season, the Norman Convention and Visitors Bureau will participate in FanFest outside the stadium.
We have invited various community partners to join us at each of the six appearances to promote their attraction or event.
Recently, we had the extreme advantage of being placed directly across the walkway from the Deep South Hyster Deep Fork interactive — well, and their special guests, Jep and Jessica from "Duck Dynasty."
What's the connection?
The family profiled in the reality television series lives in Monroe. They were the special guests at the event Saturday. Since the University of Oklahoma athletic department began promoting the appearance, we have learned much about the A&E hit series, including how to correctly pronounce the name of the town, it is MON-roe and not MUN-roe. We have also learned a whole lot about duck callers, too.
CVB staff members passed out specially designed camouflaged koozies promoting our website and a season-long hashtag for social media, "#NormanGameDay."
Our friends from the Cleveland County Free Fair joined us in the VisitNorman area to promote the upcoming event at the fairgrounds. The fair begins Sept. 5 and lasts through Sept. 8, so we are hoping to encourage the out-of-town Sooner football fans to either come earlier or stay later to make a stop at the fair.
Other community partners will be joining us throughout the season at FanFest, too.
Stefanie Brickman, CTA, is the interim executive director of the Norman Convention and Visitors Bureau. The NCVB exists to promote the city; attract overnight meeting, convention, sport and tourism business to the community; and contribute to the identity and economic wellbeing of the city.

Um... wow... This is what I get for walking around and talking to the other players when the guys at the Daily start asking questions. Mental note to self, follow them around like a hungry puppy after a chuck wagon. This just goes to show that some of the best reporting on Michigan Football comes from the Michigan Daily. Respek, homes. Respek. UPDATE: Woolfolk has come out on his twitter account and said the quotes were taken out of context and his comments were not accurately reported. Seems like I hopped on this story a little too quickly before I got more details. To that extent, my apologies to Tate and Troy. However, to the extent that the quotes are accurate, it's a lesson to all of us in the importance of being careful in what we say and write.

Dwight Lowery - #25 - S
|5' 11"/ 212 lbs.
|Santa Cruz, CA
|San Jose State
|Years played
|2008, 4th round, 14th pick by Jets
Jaguars release DT Henderson and four others
The Jaguars announced Monday the release of four players, including two-time Pro Bowl DT John Henderson.
2010 draft choices by team: Jaguars
Here are the players who were chosen by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2010 NFL draft.
Jaguars pleased with compensation for Groves
What was Al Davis thinking? That is what we're hearing in Jacksonville, where the Jaguars acquired a fifth-round pick the day before the draft in exchange for underachieving DE Quentin Groves.
Jaguars get great value in Morrison deal
Quentin Groves was sent to Oakland on Wednesday in exchange for a fifth-round pick. Now, the Jaguars have acquired MLB Kirk Morrison and another fifth-rounder in exchange for their fourth-round pick.
Jaguars acquire LB Morrison
The Jaguars continued to bolster their defense on Saturday as they traded their fourth-round pick to the Raiders for ILB Kirk Morrison and Oakland's fifth-round pick.
Jaguars continue strengthening D-line
With only one selection on Day Two of the draft (74th overall), Gene Smith and the Jaguars continued rebuilding the defensive line, selecting their second tackle of the weekend, Louisiana Tech DT D'Anthony Smith.
Smith turns heads with Alualu pick
GM Gene Smith provided the first big surprise of Draft Day with the selection of Cal DE Tyson Alualu. When teamed with offseason acquisition Aaron Kampman and rookie Terrance Knighton, the Jaguars' defensive line should possess a tenacity that was ...
Alualu, that's who!
Eric Edholm shares his thoughts on Jaguars first-round pick Tyson Alualu. He'll make frequent posts throughout the draft, in his "Around the NFL" blog.
Raiders acquire DE Groves for fifth-round pick
The Raiders dealt a 2010 fifth-round pick to the Jaguars for DE Quentin Groves, according to reports.
Jaguars sign DE Hayward
The Jaguars announced Thursday that they have re-signed UFA DE Reggie Hayward.
Receiver not a priority for Jaguars in this year's draft
The Jaguars find themselves in an unfamiliar position as they prepare for the draft. The way we hear it, the club feels good about the WR position for the first time in years.
Jaguars' season-ticket holders not in favor of drafting Tebow
Despite Tim Tebow's rock-star status in his hometown of Jacksonville, some Jaguars fans are coming to the realization that drafting the local hero to resurrect the slumbering fan base is not the answer.
Kampman signing another step in the right direction for Jaguars
While the Jaguars still have a long way to go in fixing their defense — plenty of help is still needed on the defensive line in addition to outside linebacker and free safety — the signing of DE Aaron Kampman is a ...
Report: Jaguars sign Kampman
The Florida Times-Union reported late Saturday evening that the Jaguars agreed to terms on a contract with unrestricted free agent Aaron Kampman, a key defender for the Packers the last eight seasons.
Jaguars add ex-Charger Osgood
The Jaguars signed unrestricted free-agent WR-ST Kassim Osgood on Saturday, adding a proven special-teams player and a potential contributor to their WR corps.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have activated linebacker Daryl Smith from injured reserve and placed Lowery on IR with a foot injury.||||||| Lowery's absence means second-year player Chris Prosinski moves back into the starting lineup. Prosinski started in place of Lowery earlier in the season.
Lowery is back in the starting lineup for the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing five games with a foot injury.||||||| Lowery is active for Sunday's game against Tennessee, a good sign for a defense that allowed 527 yards passing last week at Houston.
The Jacksonville Jaguars won't have starting safety Dwight Lowery available for Sunday's season finale against Indianapolis.||||||| Lowery was limited in practice all week because of a shoulder injury and had been listed as doubtful. Left tackle Eugene Monroe, listed as questionable, will start against the Colts.
Lowery is expected to replace Courtney Greene at free safety during this week's game against Carolina.||||||| The Jaguars have used 13 different starting lineups in their defensive backfield over the last 23 games. Jacksonville believes Lowery could be the final piece to solidifying what was one of the worst defenses in the league last season. The Jaguars used five different safeties in 2010 - Gerald Alexander, Don Carey, Sean Considine, Greene and Anthony Smith - and couldn't find success with any.
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan says he will start cornerback Dwight Lowery at safety when the Jets (9-4) play the Steelers (10-3).||||||| New York is thin at the position with Eric Smith sitting this week with a concussion and Jim Leonhard out for the year with a broken shin.

What is a Privacy Audit
An Educational Service of the American Library Association
Office for Information Technology Policy
Prepared by Leslie Harris & Associates www.lharris.com in conjunction with OITP staff www.ala.org/oitp
Regardless of whether or not your library has a formal privacy policy, conducting a privacy audit is one way to ensure that your library's practices are in keeping with your library's goals and promises of privacy and confidentiality. An audit ensures that information processing procedures meet privacy requirements by examining how information about patrons is collected, stored, shared, used and destroyed. Privacy auditing is a process, not a one-time solution, as services, data needs, and technologies change. A designated Privacy Officer may lead the audit, but all stakeholders and aspects of privacy need to be represented, from information technology to public relations. The audit process needs to be capable of dealing with the full extent of the information system. When a library is part of a larger organization that is conducting a privacy audit, specific library issues and needs must be included.
Protecting the privacy of library users is both a professional value of librarianship and a requirement by law and policy. Protecting privacy in information systems is challenging, though, because of legitimate needs that can conflict with complete privacy protection. Some of the goals that may seem in conflict with privacy protection include:
+ Providing customized services to patrons. In order to provide tailored services, libraries need to keep information about patrons and be able to access it easily whenever they connect to the library systems.
+ Tracking statistics and management information to assess and improve library service. Libraries can make better decisions when they have detailed information about who is using their collections and services.
+ Monitoring system use to detect intrusions and abuse. The Information Superhighway has become a mean street, and responsible systems managers must keep a wary eye on system use for signs of unauthorized intrusion and abuse.
+ Identifying those who have used systems for illegal or harmful purposes. When our systems are used inappropriately, there is great pressure to identify those responsible, from management and from law enforcement.
+ Running systems in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Many systems we install come set up to collect a lot of personal information from users. Turning off such practices or adding specialized routines to protect privacy can be costly.
Thoughtful privacy practices can meet these goals without compromising a library's ethical and legal obligation to protect the privacy of library users, by adhering to the following basic principles:
+ Avoid creating unnecessary records. Only record a user's personally identifiable information when necessary for the efficient, effective operation of the library.
+ Avoid retaining records that are not needed for efficient operation of the library. Check with your local governing body to learn if there are laws or policies addressing record retention and in conformity with these laws or policies, develop policies on the length of time necessary to retain a record. Assure that all kinds and types of records are covered by the policy, including data-related logs, digital records, and system backups.
+ Restrict access to personally identifiable information closely and reveal it only with appropriate authority.
+ Tell your users what information you are keeping and why, and how to ask you for more clarification.
+ Be aware of library practices and procedures that place information on public view, e.g., the use of postcards for overdue notices or requested materials, staff terminals placed so that the screens can be read by the public, sign-in sheets to use computers or other devices, and the provision of titles of reserve requests or interlibrary loans provided over the telephone to users' family members or answering machines.

Jenny Johnston '14
Senior Admissions Fellow
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: work802.443.3000
Hometown: Westport, CT
Major: Economics
Minors: Political Science and Spanish
Activities: Improvisational Troupe Otter Nonsense Players, Tedx Middlebury, Fed Challenge Team, and YouPower
Study Abroad: I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Ecuador this past spring. As ones soul has not yet adapted to the fast pace of air travel, I am physically back here in America but my soul is still somewhere lost in the Cloud Forest of Imbabura.
Why I wanted to become a Senior Fellow
I have been interested in being a Senior Fellow since I learned of the position as a freshman. While I remember the information session I attended as a prospective and hopeful Middlebury student, I distinctly remember the information session I sat in on as a tour guide in training freshman year. I sat there, already excited for the opportunity to share my Middlebury experience as a tour guide, thinking to myself, "Wow, this is the coolest job on campus." Not only do senior fellows contribute to the overall workings of the admissions office, offering to help with any and all ad hoc projects available, but also they get to talk about how awesome Middlebury is. After arriving on campus as a freshman, I quickly realized that Middlebury truly has something special going on and I wanted to give back. At home, I have to monitor my Middlebury over-enthusiasm as no one understands and it feels like bragging. Here at Middlebury, I have to monitor my joy as my friends are the first to remind me that they too understand and don't need to hear about it all the time. I am constantly looking for an outlet to express my love and enthusiasm for Middlebury and exude the genuine Middlebury spunk that all Midd kids possess.
What I did this past summer
While I have many plans for this summer, from acclimating to American culture after 5 months abroad, to riding the NYC subways to and from my internship in lower Manhattan, to beginning the slow training process for the NYC Marathon, the plan I am most excited for I must patiently wait for - packing up my 1999 Ford Explorer for the return to Middlebury.
Favorite Things
Favorite Class or professor
My favorite class and/or professor is a tough question to answer as I have found myself continually enthralled with the academic diversity at Middlebury. If I had to choose, I would say it is a tie between my Freshman Year Seminar, entitled The True Believer, or my Political Economy of Development course I took as a sophomore. My FYS professor instilled in me a confidence in writing that I had never had before and although I am an economics major and he is a philosophy and sociology professor, we still keep in touch. My PED course was incredible. Not only were the two, yes two, professors outstanding, but also the class was all about what you put into it. We were encouraged to do the readings, but never obligated, yet the entire class read them because they were so interesting and everyone was intrinsically motivated to do so. Outside of class we wrote our own policy brief for a country of choosing, mine was China. MY studies in these two classes, although I did not realize it at the time, shaped me into the student I was before going abroad, ready and wanting to experience something totally new and challenging.
Favorite Vermont-based activity
Too many to pick. If I had to chose it would be those impromptu adventure mornings over the weekend when you wake up and ask your friends, "Hey, what mountain do we want to climb today?" Grab some apples from Proctor, make some PB&Js, and you are on your way to a great day.
Favorite Middlebury tradition or event
Parents weekend. My parents bring up our dog and my dad and I play Frisbee on Battell Beach. He always throws the Frisbee to random others passing by. I used to be embarrassed and now I can't wait every year for that fall weekend.
Favorite spot off campus
Carol's Café or a day trip to Burlington
Favorite dining hall concoction
A solid Panini in proctor
How have you changed in the course of your time at Middlebury?
I call my parents a lot more.
One thing every Middkid should do before they graduate
Climb to the top of the Middlebury College Snow Bowl with some friends in the early fall or spring as the sun is setting then stay a little longer for stargazing.

Some of interior designer Caroline von Weyher's favorite furniture finds have been at a variety of Metro Detroit's thrift shops and garage sales.
With a little elbow grease, a bit of creativity and vision and an open mind, von Weyher, owner of Von Haus interior design firm in Birmingham, has transformed many a castaway from dull to divine, from plain to pleasant.
"Garage sales and thrift and/or consignment stores can be great places to find a vintage light fixture or a piece of furniture that (with a little refinishing or reupholstering) can make a great addition to your home," said von Weyher, who loves the in Birmingham. "Someone's discarded wood dining room chair can be totally transformed by painting it, say, red, and re-covering the seat cushion with a bold black-and-white check. Meanwhile, an old chandelier can be spray-painted or polished and rewired."
One of her favorite finds was an old King Louis salon chair and ottoman that she envisioned as a wonderful seat for a bedroom. She called on a professional upholsterer and refinisher and chose some pretty fabric for its remarkable face-lift. In the end, von Weyher saved a lot of money by going the "used" route.
Other finds have included beautiful gold-leaf picture frames.
"I don't always like the art that is in the frames, but the frames themselves have lots of potential," she said. "Store-bought frames can be very expensive."
More ideas
- Light it up! "I just bought a hanging light for my kitchen (in her Troy home) from the Salvation Army in Royal Oak for $25. I used to have the matching smaller versions at my former house and paid over $75 each for them. What a deal." — Laura Scaccia of , Royal Oak
- Sew good! I meet now and then with a group that's called the Creative Clothing Club. The members usually put a bunch of fabric remnants on a big table and people can pick and choose what they might be able to use. I've reupholstered my couch with leftover drapes material." — Carol Marshall, Bloomfield Township
- Make a day of it: "The (and ) that's a little gem. One of the rooms is full of framed wall art. They have decorative accessories as well. When one is done shopping there, they can walk across the street to ." — Suzanne Krueger of Troy
- Go West: "We have procured lots of stuff at thrift stores for our staging business. We find lots of framed prints, silk plants and ficus trees and the occasional piece of usable furniture. In the Ann Arbor area, we like the Salvation Army store, the PTO Thrift Shop and Recycle Ann Arbor's ReUse Center — they're all in one general area, too. We also work regularly with a consignment store called Westside Furniture Consignment Emporium, for selling our clients' furniture and finding treasures for our inventory." — Deborah Swartz, co-owner of A2 Home Staging Consultants, Ann Arbor

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about teaching cursive in the schools. Some parents and teachers believe that traditional cursive is an important part of students' education while others feel that it is out of date and simply doesn't have a place in today's schools.
At the risk of offending many traditionalists including, I might add, my own mom, I have to admit that I, too, feel like cursive has run out of time in our education system.
Now, I need to make clear that it's not that I don't value tradition or even that I don't appreciate the beauty of cursive versus printing. Yes, cursive is beautiful and, yes, at one time it was an important skill in society.
Fact of the matter is, however, that in today's society cursive simply doesn't have much use. Technology has grown, priorities have changed and, much like the typewriter, cursive is rapidly being pushed completely out of the picture.
When my son was in the third grade I, like many other moms, found myself struggling to remember the ins and out of cursive. Aside from signing my name which usually amounts to nothing more than a few undecipherable scribbles, I had not attempted to use cursive since junior high school.
It didn't take long to discover that, like his mother, my son has no real skill for making letters look pretty and third grade proved to be a very stressful school year. Suddenly, spelling tests and sentences were required to be done in cursive and, what used to be one of his best subjects became pure torture.
Homework took hours and consisted of countless "breaks" to rest both his hand and his head. At the same time I noticed that his printing became worse and worse and all of his work became messier by the minute. There simply wasn't a lot of happiness in our home that year.
Needless to say, he eventually came to terms with cursive and, yes, we did both survive the third grade. So, after months of stress, did all of his hard work pay off? Sad to say but, in the long run, it absolutely did not.
A few fourth grade assignments used cursive but, by the time he entered the fifth grade, it was never to be seen again. Now, a sixth grader, he hasn't used cursive in a couple of years and I think it's safe to say that he, like me, has forgotten all but the basics. Many assignments are done on his laptop and keyboarding is, perhaps, the most valuable skill he has.
Gone are the days when "letter writing" was considered a valuable and creative skill. Yes, communication is still important, but handwritten letters and notes have long since been replaced by emails and, yes, even text messages.
Do I completely agree that text messages are the right way to go? Probably not. But at the same time, I know that students need to keep up with technology and remain ahead of the curve at all times.
I'm a firm believer that students need to work hard and learn to face every challenge that comes their way but, in the case of cursive, I feel that the stress simply isn't worth it.
In a world rules by laptops, computer tablets and smart phones students need to spend their time mastering technology and preparing for the future not reliving the past.

I am glad that McDonald's is now posting the number of calories in each of the food/drink items on its menu.
We should all be more aware of the number of calories we consume per day.
Did you know that a large Iced Mocha from the McCafe has 390 calories? Well, now you do. It's crazy to think that you would need to run almost four miles to burn off the calories in a drink.
Um yeah, I'll have a cup of water.
Don't get me wrong, it's totally OK to indulge every now and again. Just remember though, it takes two minutes to eat at Cinnabon, but it takes approximately 80 minutes of cycling to burn off the calories in that Cinnabon. How do I know this? Well, I read this article posted on ivillage.com, "What It Takes to Burn Off Your 30 Favorite Food Splurges," by Jessica Smith.
In the article are a few of my personal favorite splurges — a slice of birthday cake (that's 35 minutes of hiking uphill), a large slice of pepperoni pizza (70 minutes of shoveling snow?!?) and an ice cream sundae (40 minutes of good 'ol jogging right there).
They do say that weight loss is achieved mostly through diet.
Here's to making better choices everyday!

SALEM – An 11-week old foal rescued from a field near Salem is expected to recover after its owner was arrested for animal abuse.
The foal's mother was also seized but had to be euthanized due to her wounds.
The owner of the horse, 33-year old Janet Spears, was charged with two counts of animal neglect after the injured horse and foal were seized last Sunday on Triumph Road in Sublimity, according to Marion County Sheriff's deputies.
A wound made it difficult for the adult horse to eat and the malnutrition prevented her from producing milk, authorities said. The mare also had a split hoof and eventually had to be euthanized.
Spears told deputies the small wound was present when she bought the horse and that it got infected. She admitted that she had not sought vet care, thinking it would heal on its own under her supervision.
Dr. Barbara Kahl said the foal was adjusting well and has connected with a "nurse mare" at the United SPCA facility in Yamhill.

Clara Elmore shouts from the rooftop almost daily, but her message is all work and no play. Roofing repairs and replacements can be dangerous tasks at times, but somebody has to do it, and Elmore is the right woman for the job.
As owner of J&C Construction in Belleville, Elmore doesnt leave the dirty work to the boys; this 40-something does tear offs, shoveling, and re-shingling right along with them.
More than 30 years ago, she began learning the roofing trade while watching her husband, the late James Elmore, begin a thriving business. When he passed away in 2010, Clara took over to keep his dream and the family business alive.
I helped him in the early years, but when we started having children he wanted me to stay at home with them, she said. When our youngest entered junior high school, I went back full time.
In the very beginning, Clara admits she had very little knowledge or experience about roofing.
I was 17 the first time I got up on a roof and worked, she said. The first thing I thought was Wow this is cool, then I saw a spider and thought, Oh No. Arachnophobia was something that quickly passed as she learned there are much worse aspects of the job.
You have to overcome the fear of becoming disgustingly dirty, she said. The nastiest jobs are the tear offs of wood shakes, but the easiest jobs are the shingle overs where you tear off the cap and shingle over the existing roof.
I have never been a girly girl, mostly a tomboy. Im not into dressing up; in fact, I have a wedding coming up in a few months and it will probably take me that long to find a dress to wear. I grew up playing football, baseball, and frisbee, so Tomboy it is. My daughter always tries to dress me up, she has learned and says its hopeless.
Clara doesnt mind being surrounded by men all day either as they tend to figure out quickly she knows her business inside and out.
When we get a new guy I tell them right away, I will know if you know what your doing in the first 15 minutes, and they look at me like, Ya right, but the ones who have been on a roof with me know I know what Im talking about. Some actually call me Mom, which is kind of cool, but it confuses the customers some times.
The job can be very strenuous at times, and its either a physical day or a mental day, she said. Clara invites the physical days because its a great way to burn frustration.
Her family and friends support her 100 percent, some even admit they wish they could do what she does. Others, she says, dont always take her chosen career seriously.
Being that its supposed to be a mans world and a mans job, I always get the same question, You dont get up there do you?, and I tell them, Yes I do and I work right along with everyone. Every once in awhile I will hear from clients that they think its great that a woman can climb a roof and do all the hard work it entails.
I remember once I was climbing the ladder to go up on the roof and this older lady startled me, Clara said. She had her window open and stuck her head and asked me if I was crazy for going up there. I told her no maam; its my job and she said to me, Well its about time a woman shows the men how to do a job right. I thought that was so awesome, and she made my day by acknowledging me.
Despite what a job and even mother Nature throws at her, Clara wouldnt have it any other way as its her tribute to her late husband and their three adult children James, Jeremy, and Allie.
They are happy that I can keep their Dads dream alive, she said.

Rick Ungar, Contributor
I write from the left on politics and policy.
Pulitzer Prize winning tax reporter, David Cay Johnston, has written a brilliant piece for tax.com exposing the truth about who really pays for the pension and benefits for public employees in Wisconsin.
Gov. Scott Walker says he wants state workers covered by collective bargaining agreements to "contribute more" to their pension and health insurance plans. Accepting Gov. Walker' s assertions as fact, and failing to check, creates the impression that somehow the workers are getting something extra, a gift from taxpayers. They are not. Out of every dollar that funds Wisconsin' s pension and health insurance plans for state workers, 100 cents comes from the state workers.
How can this be possible?
Simple. The pension plan is the direct result of deferred compensation- money that employees would have been paid as cash salary but choose, instead, to have placed in the state operated pension fund where the money can be professionally invested (at a lower cost of management) for the future.
Many of us are familiar with the concept of deferred compensation from reading about the latest multi-million dollar deal with some professional athlete. As a means of allowing their ball club to have enough money to operate, lowering their own tax obligations and for other benefits, ball players often defer payment of money they are to be paid to a later date. In the meantime, that money is invested for the ball player's benefit and then paid over at the time and in the manner agreed to in the contract between the parties.
Does anyone believe that, in the case of the ball player, the deferred money belongs to the club owner rather than the ball player? Is the owner simply providing this money to the athlete as some sort of gift? Of course not. The money is salary to be paid to the ball player, deferred for receipt at a later date.
A review of the state's collective bargaining agreements – many of which are available for review at the Wisconsin Office of State Employees web site - bears out that it is no different for state employees. The numbers are just lower.
Check out section 13 of the Wisconsin Association of State Prosecutors collective bargaining agreement – "For the duration of this Agreement, the Employer will contribute on behalf of the employee five percent (5%) of the employee's earnings paid by the State. "
Johnston goes on to point out that Governor Walker has gotten away with this false narrative because journalists have failed to look closely at how employee pension plans work and have simply accepted the Governor's word for it. Because of this, those who wish the unions ill have been able to seize on that narrative to score points by running ads and spreading the word that state employees pay next to nothing for their pensions and that it is all a big taxpayer give-away.
If it is true that pension and benefit money is money that already belongs to state workers, you might ask why state employees would not just take the cash as direct compensation and do their own investing for their retirement through their own individual retirement plans.
Again, simple.
Mr. Johnston continues-
Expecting individuals to be experts at investing their retirement money in defined contribution plans — instead of pooling the money so professional investors can manage the money as is done in defined benefit plans — is not sound economics. The concept, at its most basic, is buying wholesale instead of retail. Wholesale is cheaper for the buyers. That is, it saves taxpayers money. The Wisconsin State Investment Board manages about $74.5 billion for an all-in cost of $224 million. That is a cost of about 30-cents per $100, which is good but not great. However it is far less than many defined contribution plans, where costs are often $1 or more per $100."
If the Wisconsin governor and state legislature were to be honest, they would correctly frame this issue. They are not, in fact, asking state employees to make a larger contribution to their pension and benefits programs as that would not be possible- the employees are already paying 100% of the contributions.
What they are actually asking is that the employees take a pay cut.
Giving a long series of criminally absurd tax holidays to the rich and the super rich and their corporations actually seems to have bankrupted American government on every level from the village on up. The main beneficiaries of government's largesse are those monetary criminals who pay others to lobby for the tax breaks that have bankrupted America. Prosperity means a time when wages and employment seem very likely to increase for the foreseeable future. Possibly it was a very bad idea to begin importing basic auto parts like batteries and generators from an ultra-low wage state like China. Possibly it is a very bad idea to offshore the health insurance industry's back office jobs to India — as Mitt Romney did when he was the ineffective governor of Massachusetts. Both of those practices generate huge profits for the shareholders — over the short term. Over the long term, because the people of America don't have enough money in their paychecks, it is very bad for American prosperity. Cutting government jobs to the level now seen in the Obama administration is a huge mistake; private industry simply doesn't function well in the modern age without a large component of government spending because government spending means jobs, jobs, jobs. Wake up and get used to it. There will be no adequate levels of prosperity in America until government employment levels return to the levels we saw in the late '90s, which were fairly typical. Right now, slashing government's payroll only benefits the Chinese and Indian workers. That's a great way to spend government money …. NOT!!! Many people don't understand that modern industry is so fantastically profitable because goods can be manufactured by low wage robots. Nor do they understand that every dollar paid out by the state to its employees recirculates in the economy between six and ten times before it finally lodges in a corporate bank account. That circulation of money produces prosperity.
OK….Dan….they work for the public. The public uses their services. The elected officials pay according to negotiated schedules. So do you want a lower pay scale? If you contracted with privately owned services do you think the service would be as good or realizing the stock holders would want a share of the money, would it be cheaper? Name one such service! Private hospitals versus community hospitals? Where would you go if you could not afford the essential services to find a cheaper service with comparable quality? Who would you hold responsible for failure to furnish services when you need them?
Amy, are taxpayers forced to pay for Jennifer Lopez's cushy job? No, so you analogy is way off. Those benefits the public employees get are netoatiated with the Dem party, the gifts are given freely because those Dems don't pay for it, the private sector does, and then the public unions vote for the Dems.. well duh… and the cycle continues. If the private sector, the ones who should also be at the negotiating table, decide to lower those benefits, because they want to spend for their own retirement, the public unions go insane, as was witnessed in Wisconsin.
Can't believe I just saw this article, but … Your basic premise is flawed, in my opinion. Perhaps I missed it, but I missed the part where you explain that public pensions ARE funded by taxpayers via the EMPLOYER contribution. I find it hard to believe that Wisconsin cities, counties, and school districts are not contributing to the pension fund on behalf of each employee. I (speaking as a municipal employee) would consider the employer contribution to be taxpayer-funded. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but the it is what it is….tax dollars.
I don't really understand the distinction here either. Is there another source of revenue that the state has besides taxes? If not, then you and David Cay Johnston are peddling misguided analysis.
I find it amazing that people who are constantly concerned about the poor beleaguered taxpayers who have to pay for public services like road construction and maintenance, public safety, public education, sanitation and clean water supply, etc. never seem to recognize that those public employees whom they pay also pay the exact same taxes that employees of the private sector pay. Cutting public employee pay and laying off public employees actually contributes to exacerbating government deficits because unemployed people and people working for less pay less taxes as well.
In regards to semantics, possibly. But then, in using your analogy, one could say that all employees at GE are funding by taxpayers as well could they not?
You can't argue logic with zealots. It's just wasted air. Every public employee works for taxpayers. The more money they make the more money taxpayers pay. Period. When they balk at having to contribute more to their health benefits they are asking their fellow taxpayers to pay for that privilege. No one really cared about that in the past because we respected public employees because they did necessary work to serve the public at a sacrifice supposedly, because they didn't go into the private sector. (Though I don't know how many public employees would last in the private sector, you actually have to do work there or you'll be gone, not so with lots of public jobs, at least here in Chicago.) However, now that people get workers compensation payments for falling out of their chair at work while they're asleep, thanks to their union, or when teachers repeatedly show up for work only to be sequestered into a room and not teach at all but still get paid, or when the average salary of a government employee exceeds the average salary of a working stiff who pays their salary, well taxpayers began to care. So when people started losing their jobs and they saw public employees and their unions fighting for more of their money, they took umbrage. Public employees should get paid based upon public tax receipts not some salary, or promised benefit. Your employers are not in the private sector where they actually make money. Every dollar you earn as a public employee comes from the blood, sweat and tears of taxpayers who pay for your service (as well as your own taxes). Get that…let that sink in. If taxpayers stopped paying public employees would not have a salary but they could have services since there is always the private sector. So I don't get the argument here. There are good public employees and there are bad ones but to make like taxpayers do not pay for their benefits – indirectly albeit but still true – is disingenuous at best and scurrilous at worst.
Rick- thank you. In fact when trying to cut or freeze public employee pay, administrators always add up the benefits and the salary, and say, "look, this is your total compensation package and you are only looking at your pay check." I've received a letter every year from the agency I work for, stating this very concept, "cheer-up, this total of salary and benefits is your actual pay". I appreciate you going up against a very strong disinformation campaign.

This is a condensed version of this section of the warranty. To see a full version, click here.
Ford Motor Company and your selling dealer thank you for selecting one of our quality products. Our commitment to you and your vehicle begins with quality protection and service.
Should your vehicle require warranty repairs, your selling dealer would prefer you return the vehicle to their dealership for service, but you may also take your vehicle to another Ford Motor Company dealership that is authorized for warranty repairs should you choose. However, certain warranty repairs require special training, so not all dealers are authorized to perform all warranty repairs.
All of the warranties discussed on this website are subject to the following limitations and disclaimers:
The warranties discussed here are the only express warranties applicable to your vehicle. Ford does not assume or authorize anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in connection with your vehicle or these warranties. No person, including Ford employees or dealers, may modify or waive any part of these warranties.
Ford and its dealers reserve the right to make changes in or additions to vehicles built or sold by them at any time without incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes or additions to vehicles previously built or sold.
Ford and its dealers also reserve the right to provide post-warranty repairs, conduct recalls, or extend the warranty coverage period for certain vehicles or vehicle populations, at the sole discretion of Ford. The fact that Ford has provided such measures to a particular vehicle or vehicle population in no way obligates Ford to provide similar accommodations to other owners of similar vehicles.
As a condition of these warranties, you are responsible for properly using, maintaining, and caring for your vehicle as outlined in your Owner Guide and Scheduled Maintenance Guide. Ford recommends that you maintain copies of all maintenance records and receipts for review by Ford.
Ford and your dealer are not responsible for any time or income that you lose, any inconvenience you might be caused, the loss of your transportation or use of your vehicle, the cost of rental vehicles, fuel, telephone, travel, meals, or lodging, the loss of personal or commercial property, the loss of revenue, or for any other incidental or consequential damages you may have.
Punitive, exemplary, or multiple damages may not be recovered unless applicable law prohibits their disclaimer.
You may not bring any warranty-related claim as a class representative, a private attorney general, a member of a class of claimants or in any other representative capacity.
Ford shall not be liable for any damages caused by delay in delivery or furnishing of any products and/or services.
You may have some implied warranties. For example, you may have an implied warranty of merchantability (that the car or light truck is reasonably fit for the general purpose for which it was sold) or an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose (that the car or light truck is suitable for your special purposes), if a special purpose was specifically disclosed to Ford itself not merely to the dealer before your purchase, and Ford itself not just the dealer told you the vehicle would be suitable for that purpose.
These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to the time period covered by the written warranties, or to the applicable time period provided by state law, whichever period is shorter.
These implied warranties do not apply at all if you use your vehicle for business or commercial purposes. In addition, the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose does not apply if your vehicle is used for racing, even if the vehicle is equipped for racing.
The warranties discussed here and all questions regarding their enforceability and interpretation are governed by the law of the state in which you purchased your Ford vehicle. Some states do not allow Ford to limit how long an implied warranty lasts or to exclude or limit incidental or consequential damages, so the limitation and exclusions described above may not apply to you.
NOTE: This information about the limitation of implied warranties and the exclusion of incidental and consequential damages under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty also applies to the Emissions Warranties.
This chart gives a general summary of your warranty coverage provided by Ford Motor Company under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Please refer to the description of warranty coverage for more specific information.
For each type of coverage, the chart shows two measures:
The measure that occurs first determines how long your coverage lasts. For example: Your Bumper to Bumper Coverage lasts for three years - unless you drive more than 36,000 miles before three years elapse. In that case, your coverage ends at 36,000 miles.
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights that vary from state to state. Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty if:
- your Ford vehicle is properly operated and maintained, and
- was taken to a Ford dealership for a warranted repair during the warranty period,
then authorized Ford Motor Company dealers will, without charge, repair, replace, or adjust all parts on your vehicle that malfunction or fail during normal use during the applicable coverage period due to a manufacturing defect in factory-supplied materials or factory workmanship.
This warranty does not mean that each Ford vehicle is defect free. Defects may be unintentionally introduced into vehicles during the design and manufacturing processes and such defects could result in the need for repairs. For this reason, Ford provides the New Vehicle Limited Warranty in order to remedy any such defects that result in vehicle part malfunction or failure during the warranty period.
The remedy under this written warranty, and any implied warranty, is limited to repair, replacement, or adjustment of defective parts. This exclusive remedy shall not be deemed to have failed its essential purpose so long as Ford, through its authorized dealers, is willing and able to repair, replace, or adjust defective parts in the prescribed manner. Ford's liability, if any, shall in no event exceed the cost of correcting manufacturing defects as herein provided and upon expiration of this warranty, any such liability shall terminate.
Conditions that are not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty are described below. When making warranty repairs on your vehicle, the dealer will use Ford or Motorcraft® parts or remanufactured or other parts that are authorized by Ford, at the discretion of Ford or the Ford dealership.
Nothing in this warranty should be construed as requiring defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part, so long as the vehicle functions properly with the replacement part. Moreover, Ford and its authorized dealers are entitled to a reasonable time and a reasonable number of attempts within which to diagnose and repair any defect covered by this warranty.
In certain instances, Ford may authorize repairs at other than Ford dealer facilities.
Two separate warranties apply to tires on your new vehicle. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers tire defects in factory supplied material or workmanship for 100% of labor costs and on a pro rata adjustment basis for parts.
For vehicles within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty time in service and mileage coverage period, defective tires will be replaced on a pro rata adjustment basis according to the following mileage-based.
Reimbursement Schedule:
|1-12,000 100%
|1-12,000 100%
|12,001-24,000 60%
|12,001-24,000 60%
|24,001-36,000 30%
|24,001-36,000 30%
The tire manufacturer also provides you with a separate tire warranty that may extend beyond the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. You will find the manufacturer's tire warranty with the owner literature supplied with your vehicle. You have the option to have a tire warranty repair performed by the tire manufacturer's authorized service center. If you go to a tire service center for a repair covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, you may be charged a prorated amount for wear or other charges. If so, you should present your paid invoice detailing the nature of the charges to any Ford Motor Company dealership for refund consideration. When making warranty repairs on your vehicle, the dealer will use Ford or Motorcraft® parts or remanufactured or other parts that are authorized by Ford. In certain instances, Ford may authorize repairs at other than Ford dealer facilities. Tire replacements under warranty will be made with the same brand and model as originally equipped with the vehicle unless the same brand and model is no longer available, in which case a tire of the same brand, size, load, speed and tread type will be used. In some circumstances, Ford may authorize another brand and/or model to substitute for the original brand and model, even if still available.
Normal tire wear or damage is not reimbursable.
Extended warranty coverage periods are available for certain vehicle parts and conditions. Specifically,
(1) Your vehicle's Powertrain components are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The extended coverage applies to the Engine: all internal lubricated parts, cylinder block, cylinder heads, electrical fuel pump, electronic engine control unit, engine mounts, flywheel, injection pump, manifold (exhaust and intake), manifold bolts, oil pan, oil pump, seals and gaskets, thermostat, thermostat housing, timing chain cover, timing chain (gears or belt), turbocharger/supercharger unit, valve covers, water pump; Transmission: all internal parts, clutch cover, seals and gaskets, torque converter, transfer case (including all internal parts), transmission case, transmission mounts; Front-Wheel Drive: axle shafts, bearings (front and rear), center support bearing, drive shafts, final drive housing (including all internal parts), hubs-automatic front locking (four-wheel drive), locking rings (four-wheel drive), seals and gaskets, universal and constant velocity joints; Rear-Wheel Drive: axle shafts, bearings (front and rear), center support bearing, drive axle housing (including all internal parts), drive shaft, propeller shafts, retainers, supports, seals and gaskets, universal and constant velocity joints.

All FDA warnings are at the end of this fact sheet. Please consult them before taking this medication.
Methylphenidate and dexmethylphenidate are prescription medications that are used to treat individuals with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This sheet will use âmethylphenidateâ to refer to all products.
Symptoms of ADHD interfere with an individual's ability to function at school or work or in social settings and include:
Inattention (e.g., making careless mistakes, losing things necessary for tasks)
Hyperactivity (e.g., inability to sit still)
Impulsivity (e.g., interrupting or intruding on others)
Hyperactivity is less common in adults. A person may have severe inattention without hyperactivity or impulsivity.
Methylphenidate is used in addition to non-medication treatments to manage ADHD symptoms.
Although some symptoms may improve within days of starting methylphenidate, it may take several weeks before you notice the full benefits of the medication.
If you are planning on becoming pregnant, notify your healthcare provider to best manage your medications. People living with ADHD who wish to become pregnant face important decisions. Abuse of products like methylphenidate (i.e., taking without a prescription or taking more than prescribed) has been associated with premature delivery, low birth weight, and neonatal withdrawal symptoms. Untreated ADHD may be associated with increased risk of substance use. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor and caregivers.
Regarding breastfeeding, caution is advised since methylphenidate does pass into breast milk.
Symptoms of your condition that bother you the most
If you have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself
If you experience side effects from your medications, discuss them with your provider. Some side effects pass with time, but others may require changes in the medication.
Any other psychiatric or medical problems you have, including heart disease
All other medications you are currently taking (including over the counter products, herbal and nutritional supplements) and any medication allergies you have
Other non-medication treatment you are receiving, such as talk therapy or substance abuse treatment. Your provider can explain how these different treatments work with the medication.
If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
If you drink alcohol or use drugs
Methylphenidate is usually taken 1or 2 times per day with or without food.
Immediate release tablets (Ritalin®, Methylin®, Focalin®): Tablets may be swallowed whole or crushed.
Extended-release tablets (Concerta®, Ritalin SR®, Methylin ER®, Metadate ER®): Swallow tablets whole. Do not crush or chew.
Extended-release, controlled-release, or long-acting capsules (Ritalin LA®, Metadate CD®, Focalin XR®): Swallow whole or sprinkle onto food, such as applesauce or pudding and eat immediately. Do not chew capsules or capsule contents.
Liquid methylphenidate: Measure with a dosing spoon or oral syringe which you can get from your pharmacy.
Patch: Apply once daily to the hip in the morning, 2 hours before effect is needed. Alternate hips each day. Do not cut patch. Remove patch no more than 9 hours after application. Fold the used patch in half and press it together firmly so the sticky side sticks to itself. Dispose of the patch in trash that is not accessible to pets or children.
Use a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take your medication. You may also ask a family member or friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are taking you medication.
If you miss a dose of methylphenidate, take it as soon as you remember, if it is still early in the day. Do not take a missed dose after 5:00 PM, as this may interfere with sleep. Do not take a missed dose of extended-release products after 2:00 PM, as this may interfere with sleep. Discuss missed doses with your healthcare provider. Do not double your next dose or take more than what is prescribed.
Avoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while you are taking this medication. They may decrease the benefits (e.g., worsen your condition) and increase adverse effects (e.g., sedation) of the medication.
If an overdose occurs call your doctor or 911. You may need urgent medical care. You may also contact the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
A specific treatment to reverse the effects of methylphenidate does not exist.
Common Side Effects
Upset stomach, loss of appetite, insomnia, and mild anxiety
Rare Side Effects
Contact your healthcare provider if any of the following occur while taking methylphenidate:
Significant increases in blood pressure or heart rate, shortness of breath, fatigue
Severe anxiety, panic attacks, mania, hallucinations, paranoia or delusions
Rash with the patch form of methylphenidate
Serious Side Effects
Misuse of methylphenidate may cause serious cardiovascular adverse events and death. Methylphenidate should be avoided in individuals who have a heart defect (structural abnormality), uncontrolled high blood pressure, or other disorder of the heart or blood vessels.
Methylphenidate is a Schedule II controlled substance. There is a risk of physical and/or emotional dependence (addiction) when it is taken for long periods of time.
Although treatment with methylphenidate can slow growth, many studies have shown that these changes are small, and children may catch-up with growth over time; therefore, it should not be a concern for most children. Height, weight, and eating habits should be discussed before treatment starts and regularly during treatment. If you are concerned about a child's growth, discuss other possible treatments with your child's doctor.
Medications used to treat depression can interact with methylphenidate resulting in serious reactions including high body temperature, high blood pressure, and seizures (convulsions). Tell your healthcare provider if you are beginning or have recently discontinued any of these medications.
Methylphenidate should not be taken with or within 2 weeks of monoamine oxidase inhibitor antidepressants (MAOIs), including phenelzine (Nardil®), tranylcypromine (Parnate®), selegiline (EMSAM®), isocarboxazid (Marplan®), and the antibiotic linezolid (Zyvox®). Taking methylphenidate with or within 2 weeks of MAOIs can result in dangerously high blood pressure that can lead to death.
The following medications may increase the side effects of methylphenidate:
Atomoxetine (Strattera®), caffeine, phenylephrine, fluoxetine (Prozac®), bupropion (Wellbutrin®), venlafaxine (Effexor®), duloxetine (Cymbalta®), Modafinil (Provigil®), and armodafinil (Nuvigil®)
Methylphenidate may decrease the effects of blood pressure medications.
Although you may experience beneficial effects from methylphenidate within a few days of starting the medication, it often takes several weeks to get the full effect of the medication. Your healthcare provider may also need to adjust the dose gradually to find the dose that works best for you.

Summary of Black Box Warnings
Methylphenidate should be given cautiously to patients with a history of drug dependence or alcoholism. Chronic abusive use can lead to marked tolerance and psychological dependence. Psychotic episodes can occur, especially when injected. Careful supervision is required during withdrawal from abusive use, since severe depression may occur. Withdrawal following chronic therapeutic use may unmask symptoms of the underlying disorder that may require follow-up.

Goat's Rue
Galega officinalis
Goat's Rue grows 2-3 feet tall with branching stems and oval, opposite leaves. The long flower stalk produces many light purple to pink flowers similar to those in the pea family. The leaves stimulate development of mammary tissue, and it is one of the most potent herbs to increase breast milk. Goat's Rue is also used to increase breast size in non-lactating women.

Editorial: The war on sunshine
EDITORIAL The Rules Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors joined the war on sunshine May 17 when it rejected four qualified candidates from three organizations who are mandated by the ordinance to choose representatives for the task force because of the organizations' special open government credentials.
The representatives served as experienced, knowledgeable members who were independent counters to the nominees of supervisors who were often promoting an anti-sunshine agenda. The committee asked the organizations to come up with more names.
That was a nasty slap at members and organizations that have served the task force well for years. And this arbitrary demand will make it virtually impossible for these organizations to come up with a "list of candidates" to run the supervisorial gauntlet. Who wants to go before the supervisors on a list for a bout of public character assassination?
Specifically, the committee:
•Unanimously moved to sack the two incumbents (Allyson Washburn from the League of Women Voters) and Suzanne Manneh (New California Media now known as America New Media.) The League was mandated to name a representative because of its tradition and experience with good government and public access issues. America New Media was mandated to name a member to insure there would always be a journalist of color on the task force.
•Unanimously refused to seat two representatives from the Northern
California chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, the sponsor of the ordinance with a long tradition in open government and First Amendment issues. One SPJ mandated representative was for a journalist (Doug Comstock, editor of the West of Twin Peaks Observer, one of the best neighborhood papers in town and a former chair of the task force.) The second mandated seat was for an attorney (Ben Rosenfeld).
•Tried to knock out incumbent Bruce Wolfe, an excellent member, on motion of member Mark Farrell, but Wolfe survived on a 2-l vote.
•Voted unanimously for four new persons to the task force while sacking and refusing to appoint able members with experience and expertise without a word of thanks, explanation, or apology.
Committee Member David Campos later told me that he went along because he could see he didn't have the votes. He said the organizations' candidates "were eminently qualified," that they should have been appointed, and that he would fight for them. He said he would ask the office of Jane Kim, who chairs the committee, to set the issue for hearing at the next rules meeting or call for a special meeting.
We asked Campos what the organizations should do. "They should stand by their candidates," he said. We concur.
The Society of Professional Journalists, the League of Women Voters, and America New Media and their open government allies should stand by their candidates, lobby for them with the rules committee and the full board, and get out the word about this attempted coup in the most important court of all, the court of public opinion.
The Sunshine Task Force has annoyed some elected officials with its dogged efforts to promote open government. City Hall is again trying to find ways to undermine it. That needs to end, now.
Jason Grant Garza here ... the WAR on SUNSHINE ... what about the article in SF BAY GUARDIAN entitled "MAKING SUNSHINE WORK" at http://www.sfbg.com/2009/05/05/making-sunshine-work ? When is it dated ? 2009 ????
I guess that those (myself included) are still awaiting for SUNSHINE to WORK see article entitled " Ratched Response" dated 2002 at http://www.sfbayguardian.com/36/49/news_sunshine.html. here at the MINISTRY of SUNSHINE, ha,ha, ha.
Oh and this CONCERN for FAILED RIGGED PROCESS would have been more BELIEVABLE if there had been a followup (grave concern for SUNSHINE) to the 2009 article ... however, will this too go away (or at least until next time it is needed)??? Just a question "REASONABLE" played men would ask.
This is NOT WAR since it is NOT SUNSHINE ... nor is this concern ... look at the details ... I believe the 2009 article speaks ... where are the results, followup, change or even HOPE for the BETRAYED complainants/victims. False process, false hope, false assurance, false JUSTICE, false concern are all MORE HARMFUL and INJURIOUS than NO HELP. It insidiously eats from the CORE since it is FALSE ...
Yes, let us have SUNSHINE not only in PRINCIPLE but in RESULT and NOT the FAILING PROCESS and yes YEARS of FALSE HOPE, FALSE PROCESS and FALSE HUMANITY. By the way WHY did the BAY GUARDIAN stop sending reporters to this IMPORTANT BASTION of CIVILIZATION ... I mean look at my 2002 article oh and the greatly concerned 2009 article.
"Telling the TRUTH during times of UNIVERSAL DECEIT is a REVOLUTIONARY act." George Orwell
Shall we all together NOW believe in HOPE and CHANGE without VERIFICATION?
Yes, Virginia, the BEST LAID out plans of mice and men ... NEW MEMBERS, NO POWER, NO HOPE just more FALSE INJURIOUS PROCESS to the NAIVE.
Please realize CAMPOS, KIM and FARRELL can contact me anytime they wish (ask Angela - their clerk at the BOS)... by the way so can the new prospective members to the MINISTRY so that I can provide them with details (cases 06034, 10038,11081,11099, 11010-11012, etc) ... I do want them to be "INFORMED" as to what they are getting into especially here at the MINISTRY of SUNSHINE where ILLUSION rules. We can start with HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A HIPAA EXPERT as in case # 11081 that still is UNRESOLVED ... how many MONTHS later? Thank GOD ... I went to the RIGHT PLACE and the PROFESSIONALS. Ha,ha,ha!!!
Given the above, it has become something of a distraction to EVERYONE attending the SOTF meetings, when Mr. Garza spends ALL of his time ranting.
He's may be entitled, but, at some point it is unfair and unreasonable to expect everyone to listed with complete patience, while their hearing are delayed and delayed and delayed...then Mr. Garza complains about the delays!
I have not spoken to a single person that believes he is there for ANY purpose but to complain and vent his frustration on the members of the SOTF. Unfortunately, that leaves everyone else sitting there listening to his presentations, which most often seem to have no understandable point!
It's amazing, he's the pink elephant that nobody notices.
SF sure does know how to grow em.
Friend, please get on meds for your mental issues and take care of yourself. If you won't do so, kindly stop shouting with the caps.
Jason Grant Garza here .. to my dear friend and your concern ... please note that if you had done your research you would have found by typing my name into a google search engine an article WHERE I have constantly tried to take of myself and went to Emergency only to be denied services in 2001 ( http://www.bestofthebay.com/2007/06/27/crazy ) and it states that I took them to court myself (JUSTICE for RICH) only to have my case dismissed with the city TESTILYING in court 2003 (c02-3485PJH) only to continue against all odds and in 2007 after going to the OFFICE of INSPECTOR GENERAL got a confession (settlement agreement in which the city admits fault and guilt for breaking federal law) and the city paid a small fine to the OIG and left its INNOCENT VINDICATED VICTIM for DEAD. Read the article. HOW MANY WERE WRONG ... was I?
I continue to look for care ... was denied ( that is why I am asking for my medical records - intake ... case # 10038 Tom Waddell (2010) ...) did I get them or NOT in sunshine? Did the ETHICS referral in this case get enforced? What came of that?
Then again I went to Tom Waddell (2011) seeking services and was denied (case # 11081) and again asked for my records only to be denied ... INCORRECTLY and ILLEGALLY and the MINISTRY has had HOW LONG now to find an HIPAA expert? Call and ask ...
Then in case # 11099 when I asked for the CORRECT INFORMATION as to who"accredits" DPH ... you know the drill ... I didn't get it.
Telling the inconvenient TRUTH to those who would rather KILL the MESSENGER (pink elephant, ranting and raving, get on MEDS) is what I have faced even FROM the PROFESSIONALS ... however, it does not change the TRUTH nor the INHUMANITY.
Oh and please listen to the tape at the Compliance and Amendment Hearing on 5/15/2012 for case # 11081 ... there you will hear where a member stated that the other side (DPH and the City Attorney) stated that they would release my records to me without having to sign (their false incorrect testimony that denied the records in case # 10038 and 11081 ) and that somehow JUSTICE had been served???? Sorry no whitewash, no "sweeping under the RUG", and certainly not JUSTICE.
It is NOT I who need the MEDS ... YOU GUYS need to stop drinking the KOOL-AIDE.
Check the FACTS ...
"Telling the TRUTH during TIMES of UNIVERSAL DECEIT is a REVOLUTIONARY Act." George Orwell
I fear NO MAN, NO HUMAN ... it is the SEA of INHUMANITY that I am DROWNING in ...
Again, friend thank you for your compassion, diligence and concern.
This is what power does when power plays for keeps.
When progressives had power, progressives did not play for keeps.
Power played progressives, to their smallness, as Willie Brown would say.
Thanks, Willie, for those salient words. It's okay to pen yourself to your posts here.

Madison Elementary School in Olympia is one of five schools in the state that are being recognized for their outstanding student performance and work toward closing the achievement gap.
The 200-student school was recently named a Title I, Part A Distinguished School.
The award is a joint project between the National Title I Association and the U.S. Department of Education.
Washington's other honorees were Columbia Ridge Elementary in Ephrata, Lake Forest Park Elementary in Shoreline, Burley-Glenwood Elementary in the South Kitsap School District and Neah Bay Elementary in the Cape Flattery School District.
"These schools are doing great work," said state Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn. "Despite challenging circumstances, they are doing whatever it takes to meet the needs of their students."
As part of the award, Madison received $5,000 to support its programs, and additional funding to send three people to the National Title I Conference last week in Nashville, Tenn.
Two teachers and a paraeducator who works with the school's reading program attended the conference.
"It's really beneficial for staff to get recognized and also to learn what's happening around the country," said principal Gayle Mar-Chun. "They came back with many ideas."
Madison has beaten district and state averages for the past two years in standardized reading test scores.
But those scores don't come easily, especially when 55 percent to 60 percent of the students qualify for the free- and reduced-price lunch program, which is an indicator of poverty. In addition, the school serves a large portion of the district's homeless students.
"We have a lot of challenges," Mar-Chun said. "Whatever the barriers are, we try to remove the barriers so we can reach the child."
One of the programs that has brought the biggest change is Walk to Read, which provides 90 minutes of personalized reading time and instruction for every student in the school.
"Kids are taught at their instructional reading level, not their grade level," Mar-Chun said.
The school plans to spend its $5,000 on professional development for staff around writing, some technology support and an end-of-the-year team building and teacher collaboration time where staff can work the school's improvement goals, she firstname.lastname@example.com

(UPDATED) The Bills were fielding a mixed batch of receivers in practice today, due to injuries. None of the five guys practicing at receiver were listed at receiver for the season opener.
However, it's expected the Bills' current top three at the position will be ready for the game against the New York Jets Sunday.
David Nelson sat out while recovering from illness that bothered him late last week.
"I'll be full go tomorrow," Nelson said after practice. "After the performance last week I'm very eager to get back on the field and get to work."
In the loss at Miami, Nelson saw a pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick bounce off his hands and into the arms of a Dolphins player. It set up the Dolphins for a touchdown that put them ahead, 28-3.
"It was a rough week last week," Nelson said. "I kind of rolled my ankle a little bit in the Dallas game. I had a stomach flu last Thursday. I didn't eat for two or three days. I didn't feel very good before the game started. I was trying to play with it. I got hit and knocked the wind out of me, and I couldn't get right. They didn't feel like it was in my best interest to continue to play in the second half."
Stevie Johnson was working out in the weight room. He was resting, but he's expecting to be fine for Sunday. Donald Jones, of course, is on the injured reserve list due to his high ankle sprain. Naaman Roosevelt wasn't practicing, but he was in the locker room and is expected to be ready for the Jets game.
Working with the WR unit were Brad Smith, Ruvell Martin, Kamar Aiken, Derek Hagan and Tim Toone. Aiken and Hagan were just added to the active roster this week. Toone is on the practice squad.
