Fischer praises Netanyahu's planned tax hikes
Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer 370.

Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer on Thursday backed Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu's plan to raise VAT by 1 percent, reversing his criticism of
the government's economic policy in June."Last month I was somewhat
critical about the government's fiscal policy, but what I have seen in the past
two days is very serious progress and very responsible conduct by the economic
decision makers," Fischer said after meeting with Netanyahu and Finance Minister
Yuval Steinitz to discuss the 2013 state budget."I hope that within no
more than a few days we will see a package that will really change the Israeli
economic situation and allow us to continue to grow at a very respectable rate,"
he said.Earlier this week, Netanyahu and Steinitz announced they plan to
ask the cabinet to vote Monday on proposals to immediately increase VAT from 16%
to 17% – the highest level since 2005 – and to introduce an across-the-board NIS
700 million cut to government ministries. These proposals are likely pass
because not one of the 15 Likud ministers has announced
opposition.Purchase tax on cigarettes, cigars and beer rose Wednesday at
midnight in a move expected to increase this year's state revenues by about NIS
1 billion. The cigarette purchase tax rose from 260.6% to 278.6%, adding NIS 2
to NIS 3 to the price of a pack. The beer purchase tax rose from NIS 2.18 to NIS
4.19 per liter.On June 28, Fischer slammed the government for doubling
next year's budget deficit target to 3% of GDP, calling the measure unreasonable
and warning that interest rates could not stay low unless fiscal policy was put
on a "sustainable" path. He recommended increasing the deficit to no more than
2.5% of GDP, a percentage Steinitz has said would force the government to cut a
further NIS 5b. in spending.Following Thursday's meeting, Netanyahu said
the middle and lower classes "will be left with more money in their pockets"
after the implementation of all the measures on the government
agenda.""I remind you that in a few days we will enact free education
from age three," he said, "[and] hundreds of thousands of families will save NIS
800 a month. We enacted tax credit points for working families worth hundreds of
shekels a month, which took effect in January 2012. We enacted serious
reductions in monthly cellphone bills, and we enacted free dental care for
children up to age 12. This is a great change, at the end of which the majority
of Israelis will be left with more money in their pockets."Steinitz said
the government's priority was to protect the Israeli economy and to prevent the
problems of the US, UK, Spain and Greece from occurring here. The 3% deficit
target was attainable, he said, but to reach it the government would need to
make "unpopular decisions" and then stand by them."We are doing these
things… to tell the entire world – after we saw the warning about Germany's
credit rating – that we are serious, we are responsible, we will continue to
defend the Israeli economy and Israeli citizens from crisis," Steinitz
said.Labor leader Shelly Yechimovich said Netanyahu was right to say
families would have more money in their pockets following the expenditure cuts,
but he could only have been talking about wealthy families and not about the
broader public."There is a limit to the fairy tales that can be told to
the public," she said in a statement, "and Netanyahu is knowingly misleading
them when he says the lower and middle class will have more money in their
pockets. The VAT increase will make the life of every Israeli immeasurably more
expensive. The poorer they are, the more tax they will pay, the exact
opposite of the fair method of taxation that is relative to income.""The
budget expenditure cuts will also force families to take money out of their own
pockets for medical and other basic services that they should receive for free,"
Yechimovich said. "The most outrageous part is that Netanyahu has available
resources to fill the giant hole that he himself has created, only that these
resources come from the wealthy and he prefers to fill the hole with the money
of the middle class and the poor."Former Bank of Israel governor David
Klein criticized the government Thursday, saying it has no long-term plan and of
makes decisions too quickly."It appears as if somebody is frightened and
said that something big needs to be done quickly," he told Army Radio. "That is
not the way you manage a state budget."Gil Hoffman contributed to this

Hartnell College Student Awarded MESA Scholarship to UCSC
August 16, 2002
Lucy Silva of King City, who recently completed her associate of arts degree in transfer studies at Hartnell College, has received a $6,250 scholarship to attend the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she is majoring in computer science.
The two-year scholarship is from the MESA program, which provides academic support for California community college students who plan to transfer to four-year institutions of higher learning and major in mathematics, science or engineering. The MESA scholarship is funded by the National Science Foundation.
While pursing her studies at Hartnell, King utilized the services of the college's MESA program, which provides students in math, science or engineering with a study center, academic excellence workshops and career advising.
"Hartnell's MESA program," she says, "has been a great contributor to my success. It offered me a place to study as well and tutoring and counseling. The program, plus some key faculty members, successfully helped me complete my studies at Hartnell."
King has been involved with research in artificial intelligence, and plans to attend graduate school after receiving her bachelor's degree.
Michael Kane, Hartnell's new MESA director, says he is "very proud" of Silva's accomplishment. For more information on Hartnell's MESA program, call Kane at (831) 755-6891.

Citation for Special Needs Programming
To call the Rebecca School a "special needs" school doesn't quite tell the story of this innovative facility on East 30th Street. Staff and administrators work daily to reinvent the way special needs children are educated, and the way their families are supported during the process.
Relying on the Developmental Individual Difference Relationship-based (DIR) model, the three-year-old school works with a host of counselors, social workers and an advisory board to involve families in the education process for its students, who range in age from 4 to 18.
The Rebecca School serves children with neuro-developmental delays in relating and communicating, which includes children diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. While most special needs schools use behavioral approaches, the DIR model relies on relationships to figure out where the difficulties in a child's development lie, meet the child at this developmental level then work to move ahead.
"The thing that sets us apart mainly is the overwhelming philosophical methodology that we use, the DIR model," said Tina McCourt, program director at the Rebecca School. "It's very different from the way most people work with children, particularly on the autistic spectrum."
Interventions like speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, counseling, and floor time are included in the curriculum to enhance the learning process, as are art, music and drama therapy.
"I started learning about this model 14 years ago," McCourt said. "I felt like this was really the way of the future for working with these kids. In a lot of programs, studies are showing that children learn skills in a very concrete way and they don't generalize them. They don't necessarily become warm, related human beings; they become robotic. This model addresses those issues by bringing out the warmth and nurturing that these kids have, but have trouble accessing."
McCourt came on board as program director before the school opened its doors in July 2005 and set out to find the best consultant for the program: the doctor who developed the DIR model.
"I approached Dr. Stanley Greenspan and he is now an ongoing consultant," McCourt said. "We have a case conference with him every week that includes a family, a child and my whole staff. I also speak with him once a week to talk about how the program is going and things we want to focus on."
In order to provide a bridge for families between home life and school life, every Rebecca School family is assigned a social worker who has a variety of services at their fingertips.
"We provide comprehensive family services like family support, family education, counseling for family members and sibling groups," McCourt said, "but the social workers are also there to help with concrete services like medical referrals. By the time these kids get to school age, the families really have no one to go to, so that was a really important piece for us, to support the family as well as the child."
Every Friday, the school closes early for ongoing staff and parent training, and parents are regularly invited to get involved in classroom activities.
"They're very interested in parent involvement," said Ryan Young, whose 8-year-old daughter, coincidentally named Rebecca, is in her third year at the school. "They do a lot of training to help the parents understand the method. They want the parents to come to the school and experience floor time in the school environment, so that there is a transfer of what's happening between school life and home life."
"I invite parents into my classroom all the time," said Emily Levis, who teaches 5- and 6-year-olds and has been with the school from the start. "Once the parents have attended one of our trainings, they're welcome to come in and participate in all of the activities. It adds something for them and for the child."
Forty-eight students enrolled in the Rebecca School in its inaugural year; this year, the school has 108 students, with capacity for 200.
"A lot of credit [goes] to the families who joined us the first year," McCourt said. "When they came on tour, basic construction wasn't even done. It took a lot of belief in the model and what we were doing."
Plenty of credit goes to the staff, as well, which numbers more than 120 and includes occupational, physical and speech therapists, as well as classroom teachers. The average class has eight students, one head teacher and three teacher assistants.
"We've come a long way," Levis said, "since we've opened our front doors."

Love them! Tried them on, very warm. Perfect.
Excellent, snug fit I love it
Package had two different sizes,a medium short length and a medium tall. Also a Swedish medium is more like an American small. But the buttons can be moved to allow an extra inch or so on the chest. very good condition.
Thicker than I expected, but very comfortable. A medium was perfect to wear as an under coat, as I wear a large jacket. Well worth the price.
These are great shirt/jackets. I walk outside several miles everyday, rain, shine or snow. I have found that these are just the right weight to wear under my warm up jacket for cold weather walks. They are also a great layer for under insulated coveralls when it drops below zero. I have worn them almost everyday since my purchase.

To prevent overdoses, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued strict new limits on a common ingredient in prescription painkillers, The New York Times reported Jan. 14.
The FDA has ruled that prescription painkillers may contain only 325 milligrams of acetaminophen — about half of what many contain today.
Acetaminophen is a very popular ingredient in prescription pain medication and is also available over-the-counter in products such as Tylenol. Some patients increase their risk of overdose by supplementing prescription pain pills such as Percocet or Vicodin — which contain narcotics combined with acetaminophen – with an over-the-counter drug that contains acetaminophen, the agency said.
Overdoses, which can cause severe liver damage, kill over 400 people and hospitalize another 42,000 in the United States every year.
Drug-makers will have three years in which to adjust their formulas or take their products off the market. They will also have to add more explicit warnings about overdose risks to their packaging.
"F.D.A. is taking this action to make prescription combination pain medications containing acetaminophen safer for patients to use," said Dr. Sandra Kweder, deputy director of the FDA's Office of New Drugs.
In 2009, an advisory panel recommended that the FDA outlaw acetaminophen as an ingredient in prescription painkillers. The FDA chose a more moderate course by limiting the allowable amount of acetaminophen in such pills.
"We don't believe we're making these products less effective," Kweder said. "The amount of acetaminophen in these products has gradually crept up over the years."
The agency's ruling will affect a lot of patients and pills. Over 200 million prescriptions are written each year in America for painkillers that combine opioids like codeine, oxycodone, or hydrocodone with acetaminophen.
About half of acetaminophen overdoses are caused by prescription pills. Many overdoses are the result of over-the-counter medications. Once the FDA's new ruling takes effect, the acetaminophen content in some products, such as like Extra-Strength Tylenol, could exceed that found in prescription drugs.
The New York Times said that limiting acetaminophen in over-the-counter medications would be a "far more time-consuming and burdensome regulatory process" for the agency, and the FDA has not decided whether to act.
"We have not made a decision about what action or actions to take with regard to over-the-counter products," said Dr. Kweder. "We're continuing to consider our options along that line."

Upcoming suicide prevention training events:
- Save the Date - March 14, 2014 at the Augusta Civic Center
The Beyond the Basics conference serves as a "best practice" conference offering participants in-depth and progressive information and the latest research in the field of suicide and suicide prevention. The conference is designed for an audience of professionals and individuals who have attained basic training and knowledge in suicide and suicide prevention and wish to expand their knowledge and ability to engage in suicide prevention.
The Maine Suicide Prevention Program (MSPP) training programs are housed at the National Alliance on Mental Illness Maine Office (NAMI Maine) in Augusta.The MSPP Training Director can be reached by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 207-622-5767 or toll-free in Maine at 1-800-464-5767. If you have any questions or want to request information about MSPP training programs, please contact the Training Director or go to Maine Suicide Prevention Training Programs web site.
To organize and provide MSPP training programs that reach multiple audiences statewide, NAMI works in partnership with the Co-Occurring Collaborative Serving Maine (CCSME) and the Maine Primary Care Association (MPCA).
CCSME develops, markets and registers participants for MSPP training programs. They also link behavioral health providers across the state to suicide prevention training.
MPCA links primary care professionals, including clinicians in school based health centers and Indian Health Services, to suicide prevention training.
This collaboration provides an experienced team and exceptional statewide MSPP training programs and services.
Suicide is preventable. Early detection and appropriate treatment and supports are necessary ingredients to effective suicide prevention. The Maine Suicide Prevention Program, in the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC), DHHS, and our partners, are committed to excellence in suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. By raising awareness, knowledge and intervention skills, Maine can realize lower suicide rates.
Training is the cornerstone of the Maine Suicide Prevention Program. The MSPP offers a variety of training and education programs that provide a face-to-face learning opportunity to dispel myths, address misconceptions, and increase knowledge and practice intervention skills to prevent suicide. Because suicide can happen in any age group, in any community, in families of any income or educational level, everyone has a role to play in learning about preventing suicide.
Continuing education in effective suicide prevention strategies is essential for those professionals in direct contact with individuals who may be at risk. Training facilitates the early identification, effective support and appropriate treatment of persons at risk. Suicide prevention is most effective when direct service staff are trained and suicide prevention knowledge is integrated into organizations and agencies providing services. Addressing suicide prevention in our community serving agencies is vital to the health and welfare of all persons living in Maine.
See the MSPP Training Schedule for training details and registration information.
Watch for upcoming information about the annual Beyond the Basics of Suicide Prevention IX sheduled for March 14, 2014.

President Barack Obama's poll numbers continue to fall with only 44 percent of Americans approving of his performance as President.
But the numbers of Congress are even worse. While 51 percent of those polled disapprove of Obama's job performance, 82 percent think Congress is doing a poor job and only 13 percent approve of the job performance of those in the House and Senate.
The numbers from the last NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll aren't good for either party. The GOP's numbers are the lowest since 2008, when voters tossed out many Republican incumbents and put Democrats in control. Sixty-eight percent of Americans disapprove of GOP members while just 28 percent approve.
Political strategists tell Capitol Hill Blue the latest polls numbers strikes terror into the hearts of both Democrats and Republicans and that the NBC/WSJ poll echoes the widespread voter discontent in an ABC/Washington Post poll.
Both polls find that Americans no longer trust either party when it comes to handling the economy. Obama and the Republicans in Congress are tied at just 40 percent when the surveys asked who is better at creating jobs.
"Obama is no longer the favorite to win re-election," says Democratic pollster Peter Hart, who conducts the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll with Republican pollster Bill McInturff.

5 Responses to "Obama, Congress hit new lows in polls"
I'm not surprised that both the White House and the Congress have fallen in the polls. The Republicans lost a valuable tool to win their power. Instead of going along with the Constitution and working with the White House, they chose instead to make personal pledges outside the realm of the Constitution. The first was the pledge with Grover Norquist to not raise taxes and the second was the Susan B. Anthony pledge to stop abortions and lessen birth control.
The GOP continues to take the position of guiding the voter's personal actions. This is what happens when religion takes over any political power. They believed this would get them votes by the people and they were wrong…..
This is the same Congress that took America into a debt so large, it damaged our credit rating. Instead of paying off the debt, they tried to restrict the American people from getting what they (we) paid for with regard to our S.S. and Medicare.
What about taxing the hell out of the super PAC Presidential millions that are being given to the Candidates? This morning it was reported that a GOP Super PAC is donating over 55 millions dollars to Rick Perry. Tax that money before it gets lost in the rampage of our elections. Restricting the raising of money is against the freedom of speech law but taxing it is not! Or we could tax the super rich who send the money to the super PACs.
So the saga continues…Weekly polling shows ever-falling approval for the President and the Congress. Americans approve of and have lost confidence in both parties.
But who will win the next presidential election?
Some one from one of these two parties.
Who will win all the House and Senate seats up for grabs?
Some one from one of these two parties.
Keep taking those polls, America – it's doing a lot of good.
Show your frustration on the telephone – it's doing a lot of good.
Keep the two party system alive and thriving while your country and your future is sold out from beneath you by these two parties.
Keep complaining about the state of this country while you do nothing to change it.
Keep voting.
While it's difficult to disagree with your list of American electorate and political/government characteristics, similar lists that appear all across the net usually turn invisible soon after being posted. Yours will most likely do the same.
Apparently most people still believe that there's no choice but to participate in the status-quo selection process of elected officials – nor the need to any attempt to demand government be accountable…and mean it.
Maybe our (we the people's) dilemma is nothing more than the fatalist belief that it's powerless to change.
My greatest concern is that the "we the people" will get tired of the lack of action on both sides of the aisle and explode. Look at Egypt, Libya, Syria and even London. Helpless people need to let it out and our streets make the perfect stage.
The new game in town is falling on its ass and I speak of the Tea Party. They are choosing Elmer Gantry as the Evangelical-in-charge. People are afraid not to vote for him. The debate tomorrow night might just separate the rats from the fleas. Several Tea Party members have stated today that they will not watch the debate.
The voters do not have the balls to throw these fools out of office.
A vote for R or D is a vote for insanity.
Make a difference. Vote 3rd party.

Foreclosures in the Phoenix-area housing market have returned to "normal, historical levels" while the median price for single-family homes continues to increase, according to a report from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University.
Foreclosures triggered by the housing crisis on single-family homes and townhome/condos in May were down 53 percent from May 2012, according to the report. Foreclosure starts - owners receiving notice their lenders might foreclose in 90 days - were down 67 percent in the same period. Given population growth, this means the area finally hit its normal, historical level of foreclosure starts in May, according to the report.
The median price for a single-family home rose to $185,000 in May, a 26 percent increase over the median price of $147,000 in May 2012, according to the report.
The brighter picture of the Valley's improving housing market was dimmed only by the fact that the chronic shortage of homes for sale continues and could last for years, according to the report.
The pressure of rising prices should vanish during the summer months, but will pick up again in the fall once the Valley's snowbirds return and temperatures drop below 100 degrees, said Mike Orr, director of the Center for Real Estate Theory and Practice at the School of Business.
Sales activity for homes and condominiums increased 6.6 percent between April and May, the second straight month in which activity increased during the same time of the previous year, according to the report.
Orr said the sudden and recent increase in interest rates has reduced motivation to refinance existing home loans. "However, it is almost certainly increasing buyers' determination to purchase homes now, rather than later, when rates may go even higher," Orr said.
He said he sees early signs some lenders may react to higher interest rates by easing up their rules, allowing more people to buy homes. He said he also believes prospective buyers may simply settle for purchasing smaller, more affordable houses than they originally wanted, in order to manage the higher interest payments.
The shortage of homes is exacerbated by the decline of cheap foreclosures coming into the market and because homeowners are reluctant to sell because they're either locked in by negative equity or waiting for prices to keep rising.
The number of active single-family listings without an existing contract was just over 11,000 as of June 1, down 0.4 percent since May 1, according to the report.
Of available homes, 83 percent are priced above $150,000, a problem for potential homeowners looking in the lower price range.
"The chronic shortage applies to both homes for purchase and homes for lease," Orr said. "The average time for a leased home to be on the market is down to about one month. With this fast turnover and relatively low vacancy rates, it's perhaps surprising that single-family and condo rents have only very modestly increased."
New-home builders aren't helping meet the immediate demand, ensuring they don't overbuild as they did before the housing crisis to keep prices moving higher, according to the report.
Current new-home sales rates are less than a third of what would normally be needed to keep up with local population growth, according to the report.
As a result, Orr says the combined population of Maricopa and Pinal counties grew 2.9 percent from 2010 to 2012, but the number of owned and leased dwelling units only grew by 1 percent, according to the report.
Also, institutional investors continue to lose interest in the Phoenix area. Their buying spree that began in 2011 is falling. The percentage of the area's total single-family-home and condo sales carried out by investors is down from 39.7 percent in July 2012 to 27.3 percent in May. Most investor transactions are actually going to so-called "mom and pop" purchasers. Orr says they own roughly 96 percent of the area's rental-home inventory.

Counting the counters: Census 2000
March 22, 2000
The Census of Population, which is conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census once every 10 years, requires years of planning and thousands of employees. As seen in the chart, employment levels are affected by this—both in the actual year in which the census is conducted and to a lesser degree, up to 21 months prior to the census.
[Chart data—TXT]
During each of the last four decennial censuses, Federal employment spiked between March and May of the census year, corresponding with hiring for the Nonresponse Followup portion of the census—this followup is conducted in April through July.
Throughout the March to September 2000 period, the monthly BLS Employment Situation news release, which publishes data from the Current Employment Statistics survey and Current Population Survey, will identify the impact of census workers on employment estimates. Early in 2001, BLS will publish a detailed account of the effects of Census 2000 on employment.
These data are a product of the Current Employment Statistics program. To find out more, see "Counting the counters: effects of Census 2000 on employment," by Laura A. Kelter, Monthly Labor Review, February 2000.

A Radicalized GOP Might Take Over Our Government: Do Voters Realize What's at Stake?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Evidence of an "enthusiasm gap" between Democratic and Republican voters is hardly new, though it may prove to be one of the year's most important campaign dynamics. Recently, the trend became even more evident.
Gallup's latest poll measuring partisan enthusiasm not only showed Republicans with a sizable advantage, but found that excitement among GOP voters has reached a level with no modern precedent.
This week's report from the Pew Research Center found a similar partisan landscape: "Fully 56 percent of Republican voters say they are more enthusiastic about voting this year than in previous elections -- the highest percentage of GOP voters expressing increased enthusiasm about voting in midterms dating back to 1994.... The Republican Party now holds about the same advantage in enthusiasm among its party's voters that the Democratic Party held in June 2006 and the GOP had late in the 1994 campaign."
And 1994 proved to be a rather consequential year, as I recall.
But to me, that wasn't the most interesting part. This was. ( via Suzy Khimm)
...Democratic voters this year are not particularly pessimistic about the election: 29 percent expect the Democrats to do better in this year's midterm, far more than the percentage of GOP voters who said that four years ago (16 percent). Nearly half of Democratic voters (48 percent) expect the party to do about the same this fall as in recent elections, while just 18 percent say it will do worse.
Wait, wait, wait. Democratic voters aren't nervous ?
This is, of course, just one poll, and I haven't seen other outlets asking the same question, so it's hard to say with certainty just how widespread these attitudes really are.
But the Pew Research Center is a fairly reliable outlet, and if its reporting on this is accurate, it's really important.
Democratic candidates excelled in 2006, and had another terrific cycle in 2008. It's certainly possible that Pew's data is correct -- Democratic voters just don't realize, at least not yet, that the party's gains can entirely disappear this November, giving enormous power to an increasingly radicalized Republican Party.
If less than a fifth of Democratic voters expect Dems to do worse in 2010 than in recent elections, the party has no choice but to make the stakes clear.
To put it mildly, there's a very plausible chance the Democrats will lose their House majority; control of the Senate is in play; and there's no shortage of important gubernatorial races and ballot initiatives. There's also the consequential matter of post-Census redistricting -- the more Republicans are elected to state legislatures, the more lines will be redrawn to help GOP congressional candidates.
Republican voters, according to multiple polls, are practically counting the days until November, almost desperate to elect far-right candidates. If rank-and-file Dems seriously believe their party is positioned to do well -- indeed, if nearly a third of these Dems expect the party's candidates to do better than usual -- they're living in a fantasy world.
The awakening next January will likely be a rude one -- intractable gridlock, endless and pointless investigations, and a progressive policy agenda brought to an immediate halt. Hell, presidential impeachment might even find itself on the table.
This expectations problem is not lost on party leaders.
Architects of President Obama's 2008 victory are braced for potentially sizable Democratic losses in November's midterm elections. But they say voters' unease about a GOP takeover will help their party maintain congressional majorities.
"I think the prospect of a Republican takeover -- while not likely, but plausible -- will be very much part of the dynamic in October, and I think that will help us with turnout and some of this enthusiasm gap," said David Plouffe, who was Obama's campaign manager two years ago and is helping to oversee Democratic efforts this fall. Still, he put all Democrats on notice, saying: "We'd better act as a party as if the House and the Senate and every major governor's race is at stake and in danger, because they could be."

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - New information is coming out about how complaints against a Green Bay police officer under investigation for excessive force compares to other cops.
Last month, FOX 11 did an open records request which found that Officer Derek Wicklund had 6 excessive force complaints against him in the last 8 years. We're now getting some stats about where Wicklund stands against his peers.
The Green Bay Police Department hired Wicklund in July 2002. Ten officers were hired within about a year of that date. The department did not name those officers, but all of them are still with the department.
Of those officers, Wicklund has the third-most citizen complaints, with 15. The officer with the most had 25. However, when it comes to excessive force complaints, Wicklund has the most with 6. The next closest officer has 4. The rest either have two, one, or none.
"He's been one of the officers that have always liked to work, so he's in some of the more hard hit areas of our community," Green Bay Police Captain Bill Galvin tells FOX 11. "He's a very aggressive officer when it comes to fighting crime, so that could be a possible explanation there also."
Galvin says between Wicklund and the ten other officers, there were 20 investigated excessive force complaints. Internal investigations found no wrongdoing in any of the complaints.
Galvin adds a number of factors contribute to one officer having more complaints than another. They include what shift and part of the city the officer works.
The state is still investigating Wicklund's arrest from the April cell phone video outside a downtown Green Bay bar.
(Additional reporting by FOX 11).

Goldman's charity talk is just PR
The company might mandate charitable giving to cool the furor over bonuses, but the real problem is its excessively high compensation.
Does Wall Street have a heart? Goldman Sachs' putting billions of dollars in bonus money to good work would certainly seem so.
Not to be cynical, but I suspect anything Goldman does at this point is all public-relations oriented. If the company could go back to operating profitably in anonymity, it would in a heartbeat. Who needs the spotlight?
The problem is that the spotlight is not going away anytime soon. What I find interesting is that shareholders are staying relatively quiet on the subject.
The fear, of course, is that cutting bonuses or compensation would only hurt profits in the long run. But what if the opposite were true?
I think at this point in the game, cutting compensation could be a winning decision in the long term. I know doing so would be controversial and defies many basic economic tenets, but I think things really have got out of hand on Wall Street.
What many people forget is that Wall Street has experienced a maelstrom on compensation. On the debt side of the street, especially among those dealing in banking, underwriting and trading government debt, had the spotlight back in the 1980s.
For years, Wall Street made huge fees at the expense of state governments. Making fees transparent while requiring reporting of perks received by government officials changed the way Wall Street did business.
The arguments for keeping the status quo back then sound very similar to what we hear today. The biggest argument is the brain drain that would occur if compensation were lost.
In the bond world, there was no brain drain as a result of cutting fees and making the process more transparent. In other words, all that brain power was not really needed.
The same is true with respect to today's Wall Street. Requiring employees to give to charity will not fix the problem. The problem is compensation has become too high.
The first company to figure this out will likely be rewarded in more ways than one.

HEY anon! well, i started cross country in high school. and i HATED it. to be honest. the only reason i really started running was because my dad was a runner, and i knew he'd be so excited if i started. plus, my school had required sports so it was either running, volleyball, or field hockey - and let's just say i'm not a team sports kinda girl!
so, my freshman year of high school, i was on JV (just because our school was so small, there were probably only about 20 of us total, including the 7 on varsity). and i had never ever run more than a mile without stopping really. i wasn't into it - the other girls had all been to preseason and were already buddy-buddy. i was just kind of there, you could say. i ran probably a 29 or 28 minute 5k or something (and this was all on grassy hills and trail - no road).
but, my sophomore year i got more into it. the other girls befriended me and i started to like the sport a lot more. that year i think my 5k time got down to a 26:00 or 25:30 at the very end of the season. i was still on jv.
my junior year of high school was probably the best. i was really pumped about the next fall season, so during the summer i trained hard. i did all the workouts our coach put on the schedule for us (i was at a boarding school so we didn't have joint practice over summer), and i attended preseason. i basically became a devoted beast. that year i got my time down to a 22:54 by consistently decreasing my time every race. that year was great because i just kept improving! it was great. it was a LOT of work though. that year i was on varsity.
my senior year, my season wasn't amazing. i was still on varsity, i attended preseason, etc, but i just wasn't as fast for some reason. i still PR'ed, but that was rare. i got a 22:43, but a lot of my races that year were in the 23s and 24s, one was even in the 25s. it was more social for me that year i think.
so, it was over a LONG period of time and dedication. but it helped me grow to love the sport soo much. i'm so thankful for my high school cross country career.
when i got to college though, i took a year off because there just wasn't enough structure and i wasn't motivated (it's really flat and hot and there aren't any trails where i live now). but then, last summer, i made the executive decision to sign up for a half marathon. randomly, after i was only in good enough shape to run 3 or so miles. the race was in about 4 months. kinda daunting, but i dedicated myself and did really well! i honestly know that if i had run a 5k around that time i would have probably decreased my time to below a 22 minute pace but i was just too lazy and worn out from training for the half.
anyways, sorry for this long SHPEEL! i guess that was a super long answer, but it was necessary. plus, i don't think i've told that story to any of my followers before! let me know if you have anymore questions! :)
i don't think i could live without running.
so, over these past few weeks i have had a revelation: running is the only way i like to work out.
seriously. i have tried multiple times to get into p90x, weight lifting, hooping, biking. but nothing works as well as running. i just don't get a rush from those things. there's no goal at the end except for a nicer body, and i guess that's not enough motivation for me.
i love running because it challenges me. there's always a longer distance, a faster race, a harder course to endure. and this fuels me. i thrive off of beating PRs and running with other people. before my sophomore year of college, i would have never believed that i'd ever love running so much, but it's just so fun!
today, i ran a 10k PR. and i didn't even expect to. (granted i've only run a small handful of 10ks before). i was just doing a training run for fun, and i didn't even go too hard. it was a small race (about 300 people or so), but having other people around me working towards the same goal was refreshing. i barely run hard, but i finished in 48:46 at an average pace of 7:51/mi.i placed FIRST in the female age group 20-24.
recently, i have not been running a lot because i guess maybe i needed a little break. and i didn't really have a good group to run with. i just wasn't making much of an effort. but when i heard about a running group that meets at 6 AM on tuesdays & thursdays, and 7am on saturdays… i had to go. and it was a blast! i loved having an organized workout again. speed drills, tempo runs, etc.
i can't wait to do another race. i can't wait to be in good running shape again. i'm so excited!

The Dauphin County District Attorney's Office is taking action to remove a Conewago Township supervisor from office following his conviction for stealing sheep.
Jay M. Brandt, 66, was found guilty Tuesday of theft by unlawful taking during a trial in Dauphin County Court. The charge is a misdemeanor.
A jury found Brandt stole 16 sheep from a neighbor, sold the animals for more than $1,000, and had the money sent to his sister.
Prosecutors sought a $10,000 fine, but the court imposed a sentence of costs and a $50 fine.
The Pennsylvania Constitution bars any person convicted of an infamous crime, such as theft, from holding public office.
"There is wisdom in the law that a person convicted of theft shouldn't hold public office. It is very specific, " First Deputy District Attorney Fran Chardo said.
On Tuesday, abc27 spoke with Brandt on his 200+ acre dairy farm. He said this was part of an ongoing feud with his neighbor.
"I feel that I never should have been charged in the first place," Brandt said. "Yes, I loaded the sheep out of my barn. They've been here 80 percent of the time for six months."
"I told them that I took them and sold them, but I thought that I had justification for doing that. I didn't think it was breaking the law," Brandt said.
Brandt has been a supervisor for 36 years. He is up for reelection in November and will remain on the ballot.
He has 20 days to respond to the filing by the district attorney's office.

Ray Drew could not help but laugh when recounting the last few days he spent in New York City.
"You can't describe it in words," said the AJC Super 11 defensive end from Thomas County Central High School in Thomasville. "It was very, very exciting, which is an understatement. Here I am, this big kid from a town with one caution light, catching taxi cabs and running around in New York City. It was the experience of a lifetime!"
Drew was in the Big Apple from Sunday to Tuesday as a player representative for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. As a finalist for the prestigious all-star game's player of the year honors, he was being whisked around by a PR firm on a media tour.
Drew and running back Demetrius Hart of Orlando went sightseeing at Rockefeller Plaza and Radio City Music Hall. They toured NBC and met Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison on the set of "Football Night in America." They were interviewed for a segment that will air Thursday morning on ESPN's First Take. They attended the Heisman Trophy banquet, went to a New York Jets game and toured the Jets' facilities. They stayed at the Salisbury Hotel.
"It was very cool," Drew said. "I told them, this is a little too much for a country boy to take. You need to build up to something like this."
The three-day trip to New York was a whirlwind end to five straight days out of Thomasville for Drew. He spent two days in Athens on an official visit to the University of Georgia before flying out of Atlanta on Sunday.
"It went well. I really enjoyed myself up there," Drew said. "I finally got a chance to meet some of the recruits I'd been talking to and texting on the phone but hadn't met in person."
Drew said he left Athens with a good feeling about the Bulldogs.
"They're still under strong consideration," said Drew, who is also considering Auburn, Clemson, LSU and Tennessee among his finalists. "If I had to pick one thing about Georgia, it's not the stadium or the facilities or the school and that stuff, which is all great. It's the people. Everybody there is so nice and so close and gets along so well. It's the feeling you get when you're around them."
Drew said he also had a chance to bond with head coach Mark Richt. They went fishing together at a small pond on Saturday.
"All we caught was a cold," he said with a laugh. "It was freezing."
In the meantime, Drew's recruitment continues. He said new Florida coach Will Muschamp called him while he was in New York. But he was on a set at NBC and "had to cut him short." Drew largely dismissed the Gators after Urban Meyer resigned as head coach last week.
Auburn coaches were in to see him Wednesday. Somebody else will surely be in on Thursday, Friday and Saturday as well.
Drew has now taken official visits to Auburn, LSU and Georgia, so he has two left. Clemson, Florida and Tennessee are among the many schools fighting over those two spots. He said he may take them or may not. He'll play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 8 in San Antonio.
"I haven't really been able to think about it lately," Drew said of recruiting. "I'm exhausted right now."
Being a man of the world has its costs, after all.

hersal waited until signing day to chose georgia over clemson and usc, just saying yaaaw, just relax and see what happens on national signing dayin feb, great read by the way CHIP, look UGA is a typical SEC school that has a team loaded with talent. its coaching and motavating these players to the next level. I love the current team and coaching staff, the key to winning in the SEC is good ole fashion hard work and desire to learn and the desire to be a champion, you cannot teach a kid to win, they have to come together as a team and that includes this coaching staff.
Next year is shaping up for both TECH and UGA to be the most exciting year for each school, both loaded with talent, both with great head coach's,
PS my off seson predictions for the SEC east= 1.UGA 2. TENN
SEC west= 1.LSU 2. ALA
SEC CHAMPS= UGA vs LSU, UGA wins 17-16
ACC coastal= GA. TECH
ACC atlantic= NORTH CAROLINA
ACC CHAMPS= GA TECH wins 32-21

I'm still steaming over losing Carradine yesterday. We need some JUCO help this year. Having said that we don't need any more Jakar Hamilton's… he's turned out to be a JUCO bust.

LSU believes it has a real good shot getting Drew. He's an awesome talent.

His comments "They're still under strong consideration" sounds to me like UGA isn't in the lead.
December 16th, 2010
8:11 am
This happened last year…we only signed 18 and one didn't qualify and one got kicked off the team early and we ended up with 16 players. Way to few. We only have like 15 or 16 THIS year so far and need a class of 28 with all who are leaving. We're WAITING on some big names to fall our way, but if they don't, this class will fill out with 2& 3 star second choices. Hello Tech type talent. Come on Mark , Get these guys locked up.
December 16th, 2010
8:14 am
While I enjoy Ray's homespun charm and couldn't be prouder of him, I just want clear up one little point: we have more than just the one caution light. We have a few of those newfangled three color lights and even some traffic cameras.
December 16th, 2010
8:15 am
Reports are swirling that This staff is on a short leash and not working hard. I hope that is not true. The schedule is shaping up for maybe 8 wins next year and we could climb out of this hole with 5 or 6 special players. I know this staff is up against other staffs telling these kids that the Richt era in Athens is almost over. Come to Athens guys and prove them wrong.
December 16th, 2010

"Come on Mark , Get these guys locked up."!!!
He's got to get them to enroll before they get locked up. C'mon Man!!
December 16th, 2010
8:36 am
That was my thoughts exactly. We have to many on the fence. The past two years we have had small classes. If we don't lock up at least 75% on the list we are in trouble. Makes me think of Tennessee all over again. Everyone keeps saying we are ok but I am afraid we are not if we don't close good.
December 16th, 2010
8:40 am
@JB…do you really believe that this coaching staff is not working their tales off to try and pull these guys in..There were seven(7) coaches on hand for the Carver-Calhoun game and then there were some back at the school on the following Monday…i'm not sure where you get your info at but i would find other reliable and more accurate sources…You can say whatever you like about your reservations about this staff, but to say they are not working hard is just laughable…We will have a very good class, no we want get everyone, but it will be a good one and i think you will be pleased…Try to have some positive thoughts toward our team, players and our coaches…Do you really think all the negative comments help in our recruiting efforts at all..go dawgs…
December 16th, 2010
8:45 am
Guys…it would be great to lock up these guys, but many of these kids are at the top of the recruiting class and everyone wants them and they are enjoying the process of taking visits…I agree we need to lock them up as soon as possible, but keep in mind nothing is locked up until NSD and that pretty much is the same boat all the teams are in…If you look at the recruiting services rankings for what they are worth, then you would see that we compare very favorably in the amount of recruits that have committed so far…I think very soon you are going to see more committments and that will open up the whole process..Alot of the recruits are waiting to see where others go and that will start the process…go dawgs and just hang in there dawg fans, we will do very well in this recruiting class in the end…
December 16th, 2010
8:54 am
Hey y'all down in Thomasville, I hear you saying how great this kid's character is and all, but someone needs to tell him about Auburn's sleazey history of Southeastern Conference leading probation terms, and show him where to look up Auburn's crappy, cheating history through several different coach's tenures, if he has indeed given Auburn a silent commit. Richt will not make it through another year of losing the very players he has to have to fill major voids from the state of Georgia to the likes of Auburn, period. I know that coming out every year and talking about how important it is to lock up the in state talent, while the Alabama schools are signing most of them will shorten Richt's tenure quickly. The big money Dawgs expect to see a big turn around in this program very quickly. I know it is hard to recruit against the very two schools that have won or are playing for the MNC, but the way they are looking at, he never should have allowed all of the best talent in Georgia to go to these schools and help them get there in the first place. If the staff is on a short leash, would that not motivate them to work harder to overcome the obstacles and really make a career saving type of push to sign these players? I know that a lot of sleazebag Auburn idiots spent all of 2009 trying to make everyone believe that Saban cheated to get players at Alabama, all the while doing the exact same things that them slapped back in the early nineties. I almost have to look at it now that any top recruit that commits to Auburn has been shown the money. I don't care what all these idiot Auburn people say, if someone has a proven criminal record as long as their arm, then that is their legacy, period. Hopefully these young men of the state of Georgia are of great character, and won't become part of the Auburn corruption.

dawgster…great comments! JB…come on, the coaches aren't working hard enough! Are you kidding me that you would believe that! If that were true then the AD would be all over that. We all should believe NOTHING we hear and half of what we read! All of this will shake out by NSD! We will have a great class and we will have the kids that want to be Dawgs! If they don't want on our bus, then that is fine and don't come to Athens. We are pointed in the right direction.
SEC Fan @8:32… that was a good one! Go Dawgs!!
December 16th, 2010
9:13 am
CHIP TOWERS…. Would love to hear Coach Saban's visit with Xzavier Dickson went yesterday.
The Dawgs will do just fine in recruiting as they always have. Some of you Dawg "fans" are over-reacting. UGA leads for 90% of the targets( as of right now) left for them to take and are a close second for the remaining 10%. Recruiting has never been a problem even lately when coaching has been, in my opinion.
December 16th, 2010
9:20 am
I resent all this talk about Auburn somehow being the only program that has had recruiting violations. Every major program has had recruiting violations. I love Auburn and I only want to put the best product on the field. Just because I happen to have deeper pockets than the rest of you to make than happen, why should Auburn be punished.
December 16th, 2010
9:23 am
Hey Chip, what gives with the Jenkins situation from Mississippi? He may be the most important recruit in the most important class Mark Richt has ever signed. Something also must be done about the secondary. The new position coach there will have to get much, much better safety play for the D to improve overall. Constantly leaving the outfield wide open will no longer be acceptable.
December 16th, 2010
9:28 am
I , repeat I didn't say they are not working hard, I 'm basing that on a Fellow Bulldog club member with close ties. I hope they are working 24/7. I feel if they close strong, we might play some of these guys next year and win 8-9 games and rebuild. Mark is smart. He knows he's being watched. Go Dawgs.

More idiots like Columbus Dawg complain that Auburn cheats. Losers always complain that winners cheat. Stop, ther is no proof that Auburn has done anything. Losers like Columbus Dawg make us look like whiney losers.
As far as Drew goes, UGA has a lot of ground to make up. Sorry to disappoint you Columbus, but Drew loves Auburn. I know Ray's family. I have a farm in Thomasville. They are a great family, and really love the "family" thing at Auburn. I would say currently we are third. Drew and Cam Newton have become very close. We can say what we want about LeMay but Newton is closer to him.
And Mark has got to do something better than taking somebody fishing when it less than freezing outside. You come out of that looking silly.
December 16th, 2010
9:57 am
bigtime – just to shut you up I will give you the same PC answer that every recruit gives after a visit. Here is what Dickson said…"It went well Coach Saban is a great guy and I really like Alabama. I am considering them for sure." Happy now?

I'm afraid to say but I have heard much of the same of what VININGSDAWG posted on 9:57……I think UGA has a chance but please Dawg fans don't get your hopes up
Has anyone dared to look at the UGA depth chart on defense next spring? It's not good folkds…… I can't believe how depleted we really are with the departures of Houston, Tripp, Wood etc. All Todd Grantham should have to do is show a blue chip prospect a copy of that depth chart and that should be it. I'm really concerned about our Dline and our LB's..

If these two young men are really serious about their education and future, they would sign with Morehouse, FAMU, Howard, or SC State. These schools will treat them like a student FIRST. I hope that they don't believe the hype and pipe dreams that these athletic mills are selling them. Heaven forbids if they sustain a career ending injury. These so-called D1 schools will throw them in the garbage like a piece of rotten meat.

I just don't know quite how to feel about this! After a few years of seemingly logical replacement of hotel and office lighting with compact fluorescent light bulbs, a problem has arisen. It seems that demand for the bulbs, while slacking in store sales, goes way up when the professional viagra bulbs are just a few twists away.
Office and hotel mangers have begun to http://www.aagon.de/levitra-online-canada complain about CFL theft in a big way. While the bulbs save a ton of money over their lifetime in energy costs, they don't save money when they disappear after a few months and need to be replaced.
The alternative, it seems, is to either stop using CFLs or use theft-proof fixtures that need a special key to be replaced. We assume the key is only held by the maintenence staff. It's good that we've got these solutions now, since LED bulbs, just around the corner, promise to be even more expensive, while saving more energy in the long run.
The good news is, the more CFLs offices and hotels buy, the more CFLs there are in the world. However, it seems odd that hotel-goers and office workers, not known for their levels of extreme poverty, are the ones stealing the http://www.boehler.org/obtain-cialis-without-prescription bulbs. It seems to me that they could afford to save money the old-fashioned way...by making a modest investment in slightly-more-expensive bulbs at WalMart.
Via MT.GOV
written by bob, March 01, 2008
One other thing about the "common objections" to CFLs in that article you linked to - the biggest issue that I have with CFLs is the warmup time. That really bothers me - even the cheapest cialis ones that advertise instant-on take some time to come to full brightness. That's the main reason I haven't gone full blown CFLs in my house.
written by rob, March 01, 2008
Swapping from soap bars to liquid soap saved at least 50%.
And painting yellow stripes on all the Stanley knives, stopped them going "walkabout".
If it's not nailed down some people with nick it.
written by Rob, March 01, 2008
a) to prevent theft, and
b) to ensure that certain buildings meet their legal requirement to have a certain number of CFLs
For example, planning legislation required the house my in-laws' just built to best levitra have 50% CFLs I think, so they were required to make sure that 50% of their sockets would only fit CFLs (they've gone 100% CFL anyway, of course).
written by Preston, March 02, 2008
I asked about charging guests for stolen CFLs and they basically said it's impossible to put that on buy cialis pills a guest because you need prove that the CFL was there before the guest entered the room and davenportinstitute.com gone when they left (and you show that there wasn't some other reason/cause for the missing CFL). Pinning a missing bulb on the buying viagra in london guest is just not something they're able to do.

Updating common areas with updated fixtures might work and then just bill the guest when light bulbs disappear. Worked for towels and bathrobes, right? Only problem there is that it may not be guests, it might be underpaid hotel workers with the sticky fingers.
written by Brian, March 14, 2008
Plus, why couldn't hotels use different sized sockets for their CFLs - they already do with coat hangers? Yes, I see others have thought of similar ideas and posted to that effect here. I'd also like to point out hotels really can't charge customers for missing items not only because it's hard to www.kletterwald-sayn.de prove (see Preston's comment), but because it's usually their gold card members who are doing it, and they aren't going to risk their ire over something relatively inexpensive.
Third, I'd like to point out when we transition to LEDs this problem will go away because LEDs should last about as long as the appliance they come with (20-50 years), so they wouldn't be used in a bulb form factor, they'd be soldered on. Now, if someone is stealing the entire desk lamp, at least you can make it bulky enough to be difficult to carry.
