A protein and fiber-rich drink to go.
This simple dessert works any time of the year, but its flavors will be the best and brightest in the winter when oranges are at their peak.
Toss leftover cooked chicken with barbecue sauce and crunchy carrots for a quick and healthy lunch.
Sliced strawberries and reduced-fat cream cheese come together in a sandwich for this quick and healthy lunchbox treat.
All the flavors of a Greek pizza make these savory muffins bite-size treats for adults and kids alike.
Cynthia Farr-Weinfeld, a hypnotherapist and writer, started improving the nutritional profile of a friend's mother's ginger cookie recipe by substituting whole-wheat pastry flour for all-purpose flour and canola oil for shortening. "Experiment with these cookies," she advises, "as they taste great either slightly underdone or crispy." She calls them "the quickest cookies you'll ever bake."
This easy pizza-inspired roll-up is a kid-pleaser. Make crunchy vegetables more appealing by selecting colorful varieties like orange and purple cauliflower—and don't forget the dip! Keep 'em smiling with watermelon cut into fun shapes with cookie cutters.
Give your kids the energy they need to make it through the day with a healthy lunch. Studies have shown that if you equip your children with healthy food to eat at school, they will be better prepared to study and learn. Although there are lots of convenience products available to make packing your kid's lunchbox a snap, those products are often loaded with saturated fat, calories and sodium. Our collection of kid-friendly ideas take little time to prepare and will help keep lunches enjoyable and healthy. Fruits and vegetables add color and crunch while providing beneficial vitamins and minerals. Foods like wraps, smoothies and dips are fun to eat. Give your kids something to look forward to at lunch every day with a variety of options they won't trade away!

A new Wisconsin Historical Society website is coming mid-May 2014! See a preview >>
Ruby West Jackson is involved in many historical groups throughout Wisconsin, including Old World Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. Jackson worked as an activist, educator and political consultant until her retirement and now devotes her time to promoting African American history and preservation. Other publications include "Wisconsin Heritage," a brochure on African American tourism, published by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, which she helped research and write, as well as various dramatic sketches performed for dedications, festivals and conferences. Jackson also appeared on the Wisconsin Public Television documentary about Joshua Glover, "Stand the Storm." She currently works as substitute teacher in Madison while operating her own business as a costumed interpreter of pioneer black women in Wisconsin.
Dr. Walter T. McDonald was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York After serving in WWII, McDonald became a clinical psychologist, which he practiced for 40 years. Since his retirement, he has divided his time between consulting in forensic psychology and working with various Underground Railroad activities
Jackson and McDonald have collaborated for the past 30 years on various projects, most recently the mapping of Underground Railroad routes in Wisconsin.
Author Q&AWisconsin Historical Society Press: What motivated you to write about Joshua Glover?
Ruby Jackson: Having strong black teachers, who were themselves educated by Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Dubois, as well as having a great-grandmother who was a slave, instilled an early sense of the value of black history.
WHS Press: What did you know about Glover before you started this project?
RJ: While I was employed as an African American history coordinator by the Wisconsin Historical Society, I was loaned to the Wisconsin Department of Tourism to research and write a brochure about heritage tourism sites in Wisconsin. I first learned about Joshua Glover when conducting research for the Wisconsin Department of Tourism to develop a brochure called "Heritage Tourism." Information about him was found in the bowels of the Racine Heritage Museum. Most of the emphasis was on the abolitionists who had freed him and the court cases that ensued.
Walter McDonald: Absolutely nothing until Ruby asked me 10 or more years ago whether I would like to write a book with her about Glover.
WHS Press: What kind of detective work was involved with your research?
RJ/WM: It was a case of finding someone who had been dead a long time, about whom almost nothing was known except that he was the incidental subject of a famous court case. In general, there was very little literature about individual slaves. The work that did exist was primarily about abolitionists and their involvement in assisting slaves who had runaway from their masters. This left us with the task of locating Glover in Canada. We made two trips there: the first yielded nothing. After we located him in Canada in their 1871 census index, we made our second trip. It was then that we learned Glover had the good sense to become employed by a man who kept meticulous diaries, enabling us to reconstruct his life in Canada. A black history researcher in Toronto, who was also a docent at the historic inn where Glover had been employed, was also an enormous help in providing additional material.
WHS Press: What did you find most fascinating or surprising about Glover?
RJ/WM: We were gratified to be able to reveal the complexities of the life of an ordinary former slave. The opportunity for such detail is not easily obtained in slave literature, which typically, after brief mention of the slave, goes on to emphasize the white movers and shakers. We were very impressed with Glover's courage and resolve in the difficulties and problems he faced both during his brief captivity and his more than 30 years of life in Canada.
WHS Press: How did you navigate doing research in both the U.S. and Canada?
RJ/WM: We made only two visits to Canada. Thanks to the miracle of email and the presence of the researcher in Canada who had become our friend, we were able to locate ample Canadian material. In the U.S., we made two trips to St. Louis, where Glover had left the service of his owner, as well as to a museum in Lynchburg, Virginia, which had been the home of Glover's former owner, and to various archival facilities in Wisconsin, including Racine, Burlington, Waukesha and Elkhorn. We also made use of the excellent facilities in the archives of the Wisconsin Historical Society.
WHS Press: How did you work as a team on this project?
RJ/WM: Primarily by encouraging the other not to give up on the occasions when promising leads turned into dead ends. We also ran up sizable phone bills between Madison and Racine as we discussed our latest finds. While we visited many places in tandem, we also divided our work into individual assignments.
WHS Press: Who are some of the interesting side characters in the story?
RJ/WM: It is difficult to choose because we discovered so many interesting people. Chief among the group would be the Milwaukee committee of colored abolitionists who held a public protest program following passage of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850. Among individuals, we would list Benammi Stone Garland for his single-minded pursuit of what he believed was his stolen property, Nelson Turner, the former slave who betrayed Glover for personal reasons, the abolitionists A.P. Dutton and Sherman Booth, who risked their liberty and their careers to help Glover, Martha Glover and John Messenger, both of whom remained too enigmatic and about whom we would still like to know more, and Thomas and William Montgomery, without whose diaries and journals we would have had a much less complete story.
WHS Press: What do you hope readers take away from this book?
RJ/WM: Above all, the knowledge that slaves were not just anonymous tillers and toilers but individual human beings. Also, that the Underground Railroad didn't end at the Ohio River, but was a factor in antislavery efforts further west as well.
WHS Press: How is Glover's story relevant or important today?
RJ/WM: Glover's story is another reminder that unless evil is actively opposed by people of good will, it will flourish unchallenged and unchecked.

Sunny Days...1 of 9
By Natasha Burton
Sesame Street is making news headlines thanks to Mitt Romney's mention of Big Bird in the presidential debates and the recent Elmo scandal. However, this groundbreaking show is much more than these news blips. We asked eight grown-ups to share moments from the memorable kids' program that have stuck with them over the years—and the unexpected lessons they took away from the show.
Mind Over Matter2 of 9
"I was always obsessed with Mr. Snuffleupagus. I still like to repeat that name over and over in my head. There was something ineffable and wondrous about a gigantic sad-sack wooly mammoth wandering around Sesame Street, and for years nobody except Big Bird knew he was there. I found this game hilarious, and I guess it was my introduction, at a very young age, to absurdism in art." —Michael
Whole Wide World3 of 9
"What I'll always remember from Sesame Street was its diversity. I grew up in a very white community and it was a great lesson to learn that not everyone looked or spoke like me. Maybe it's why I moved to one of the most diverse cities in the U.S.?" —Laura
Hue Knew?4 of 9
"I'll never forget the 'How Crayons Are Made' segment. Realizing the incredible process that went into making a single crayon just reinforced my love of art at a very young age. After that episode I kept drawing and coloring and experimenting with color and its various possibilities." —Maece
Listen and Learn5 of 9
"The sketch that has always stuck with me is when an elephant is asking for directions to the zoo but doesn't wait for an answer. As an adult, I often find that people don't listen and run with things before they have all the information they need. The resulting back and forth ends up being a waste of time for everyone. I've actually shared this sketch in a meeting with co-workers to express my frustration when people react without actually listening." —Terra
Saying Goodbye6 of 9
"The direct way the show dealt with Mr. Hooper's death is something I'll never forget. It was such a grown-up yet sensitive discussion among Big Bird and the other characters—and bittersweet, like so many things in life, I came to realize. I felt sad about the loss, but happy that Big Bird had the support of his friends and life would go on. The memory of tears mixed with humor made a big impression on me." —Elizabeth
Come Together7 of 9
"I loved the episode in which Maria and Luis got married. I was only 3, but my dad taped it for me and I watched it several times. It made me feel like the characters on Sesame Street were real people—and I felt a part of it. I've been a sucker for love and events that bring people together ever since." —Danielle
A to Z8 of 9
"I remember being 4 or 5 years old, riding in my parents' car with my mom, and working on reciting my ABCs with help from a song I learned on Sesame Street. I was so proud when I finally did it! Now, I watch my 2-year-old daughter dance to the alphabet on Sesame Street and we sing along together." —Gabriela
Imagine That9 of 9
"When I was young, I had an imaginary friend named Sarah Bear. Sarah Bear went everywhere with me—she even had a seat set for her at the table every night. My mom and dad let me get away with it, but my sister would always say, 'Sarah Bear isn't real.' The fact that Snuffy existed only when Big Bird could see him helped me argue Sarah Bear's existence." —Sarah

text: "I ordered this card and was skeptical based on a previous review that it wouldn't look as good as I hoped. However, it turned out fantastic! I did order it on the shimmer paper and the metallic dots do have a reflective quality. I would highly recommend this card just make sure to get the shimmer paper."

Brown. (Maury Phillips/WireImage)
"Art and style has always played a significant role in my life —it's evolved with me throughout my career," the 23-year-old said in a statement.
One thing that has not evolved is Brown's bad-boy behavior … or the public's opinion of him. In the past few months alone, he has been on the receiving end of criticism for playing his on-again/off-again girlfriend Karrueche Tran against his off his again-on girlfriend Rihanna, dressing like a Taliban member for Halloween, using gay slurs, getting into a physical altercation with Drake at a New York City nightclub, and the list continues.
It will be interesting to see how Brown fares in his beauty and fashion ventures, an industry that is usually reserved for women, considering that female opinion is still split into two camps more than three years after he severely beat Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammys. Do women really want to buy beauty products from a guy who has a long history of being misogynistic?
A similar issue is plaguing Donald Trump. After making comments that have been deemed sexist and "racially charged," the latter about President Barack Obama, an online petition by MoveOn.org has gathered more than 622,000 signatures asking Macy's to end its partnership with the "Apprentice" honcho, who sells clothing and has a fragrance collection at the department store. Despite the uproar, Macy's is sticking by the hair-challenged businessman. "Please understand and appreciate that Macy's marketing and merchandising offerings are not representative of any political position," CEO Terry Lundgren said in a statement. "Ours is a free society compromised [sic] of a wide range of viewpoints."

Bakeries >Prantl's Bakery
5525 Walnut St, Pittsburgh, PA | Directions 1523240.451524 -79.932879
Tuesday To Saturday From 07:30 AM To 06:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Shadyside
Absolutely Filthy and Very Rude Staff – We have heard great things about the Burnt Almond Torte, so we decided to give it a try while visiting a friend in Shadyside.
My first impression of the bakery was not a good one. Walking in, the first thing I noticed was how dirty the windows were. That impression carried on inside when I noticed the grungy walls, torn up carpet and smudged display cases. I wasn't thrilled to get food from this place, but the torte's reputation made me persevere and step up to the counter to place my order.
The staff were incredibly rude. Before I could place my order I had to wait for the girl to stop her conversation that she was having with someone in the back. They were talking about their periods. Yeah...makes me want to order baked goods. When she finally did decide to wait on me, she was rude and acted upset that I had dared to interrupt her conversation because I wanted to spend money there. She was sullen and didn't know much about the product when I asked her about some of the other things in the case.
It was after I made my purchase, that I noticed the flies buzzing around inside the case.Now hole in the wall I can do, a little dingy or outdated is fine, but flies crawling on your product is going a bit too far for me. My husband ate some torte...he said the almonds were fantastic but the cake itself was dry. I couldn't bring myself to try a piece because all I could see in my head were those stupid flies.
Needless to say, I won't be back and every person that tells me I have to try prantl's is going to get an earfull.
a real bakery – No longer the family business it used to be, but still a very good bakery.
If you have your heart set on a favorite cake decoration, check with them carefully. They sometimes (apparently)don't have the same decorator and what you ordered before and loved may not be available or may not be recognized by the name you ordered it by before .
Coconut snowballs are wonderful.
Burnt Almond Tort is PERFECTION! – Their burnt almond tort is absolutely delicious, as are their little star-shaped butter cookies. BUT, things here are so expensive now! The bakery changed ownership and the prices have really skyrocketed. The little star-shaped cookies are not cheap for little cookies, especially because it would be easy to eat a half dozen alone! I really don't recommend their "normal" cookies, such as chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, etc - I have found them to be quite disappointing. Their cupcakes are good, but the two things that are truly spectacular are the burnt almond tort and butter star cookies.
User review by ericacoh – i wouldn't recommend going in here if you are on a diet! everything looks and smells AMAZING! their little butter cookies that are usually in the shape of stars are to die for! it's nice to go to a GREAT bakery and pay less than you'd pay at the baked goods section of a supermarket
This habit-forming sweets shop allows you to stay on a budget as you indulge to your heart's content. – In Short
Stationed among upscale boutiques and eateries in the trendy shopping district of Shadyside, Prantl's is notable for its sinful candies, cookies and cakes--and its unbelievably low prices. The tiny takeout shop--nothing more than a small, box-shaped, clay-colored room with two pastry-filled glass cases--nearly bursts at the seams every morning with loyal customers who show up early to buy the freshest donuts, cheesecake, sourdough bread, and burnt-almond torte (the house specialty).

Police are investigating.

Lucia went and threw the body over her shoulders. The idiot crew she was with obviously couldn't handle burying a dead guy.
"Do you want to help pick a nice spot or should I just throw you in the nearest ditch?"
"Reasonable? Reasonable!? I'm dead you right stupid bitch! I'm dead and stuck here! You can't imagine what it's like! Every second is agony! You have no idea how hard it is right now just talking to you idiots! Bury me already! Set things right!" The ghost was screaming at the top of its lung-analogues no. "Hurry the fuck up!"

Lucia went and threw the body over her shoulders. The idiot crew she was with obviously couldn't handle burying a dead guy.
"Do you want to help pick a nice spot or should I just throw you in the nearest ditch?"
"Why don't you get me to a proper graveyard first before you start getting catty you bothersome twit!" The ghost began following Lucia. "Oi! Careful with my body! It needs to be buried in one piece! And you, spidergirl! Abigail can have anything of mine she wants. I have no fucking use for it anymore. I'm dead. In case you haven't noticed."
Do you like big boobs? Dragons? Ninja? Martial arts? Wizards? Then click here and make all your wildest dreams come true!!
"...I-I thought you m-m-might have a... c-c-coffin b-because..." Mishkala tried to correct herself whilst being yelled at by the deathly thing, nerves in tatters. "...all of t-the... d-d-d-dead..."
Finally, her meddle just completely broke, and the drider bolted underneath the overloaded desk in panic. To her credit, she actually squashed in well, and left only a gleaming pair of red eyes peeping out from the shade.
Only after they had exited the room completely did she nervously poke her head out again, then rapidly begin to gather up every book and usefull-looking peice of parchment she could find, all the while muttering and whimpering under her breath.
I'm skipping the Zombie fights, because hordes of Zombies by themselves are literally just time wasters for characters of your level. They're only challenging for you when coupled with other monsters or in cramped places. And outdoors in a town have neither. I'll give you some fun random encounters on the way back, methinks.
The trip to the graveyard was full of zombie smashing and lots of complaining from Mr. Burnside, but otherwise uneventful.
Perhaps amusingly, unlike most graveyards in Umbralume, there weren't very many Undead in this one. They all probably left to eat the villagers.
"Well! Get on with it! Bury me! You, priestess, get on with it! I want to fucking die already."

"Be quiet you ungrateful old man." Lucia threw the body down and pointed out a little spot for Mishka to dig.
"Monster, dig a hole."
"...I... I don't have a shovel..." Mishka replied meekly. It seemed as if she was still trying to give sass, but with her nerves completely in tatters by now, any element of a brave face was lost.
A few seconds latter, she simply grabbed dislodged plank from a nearby decaying fence, and used that to begin digging instead. It was not exactly effective, least of all because the woman-thing hadn't had the initiative to dig a hole since she was a child.
The work was exerted, at least, but it was hard to tell if she was still trying to befriend them, or if the drider was simply afraid of being left alone out there in the middle of nowhere.
After an hour of fighting zombies and digging, Burnside's grave was dug and ready.
Lucia said a prayer and dumped the grumpy old man's body in the hole.
Lucy had stood to one side and let Mishka do the heavy work for the past hour. She'd also retrieved a book apparently entitled The Bumper Fun Book of Demonology from her bag, and sat on a nearby gravestone reading it. If there was one thing to be said about having light shine out of your eyes, it made reading in the dark a lot easier. When she saw that the crime against nature had finished digging, she stuffed the book inside her cloak and walked over to inspect the grave. She didn't bother to acknowledge Mishka, although the thing was obviously exhausted by now.
"Can't you remember any proper burial rites, Lucia?" said the voice enamating from behind Lucy's head. "Lord Burnside will be thrilled, I'm sure, to discover his corpse underground and his spirit stuck here."
She half-heartedly threw a handful of dirt onto Burnside's body and attempted to remember the correct rites.

Grumpy ghost: Gone.
Burnside's Papers: Get.
Time to head back to Abigail.
Despite the groups best efforts, the burial had taken too long, and they found themselves exposed and out in the wilderness during True Night*
The group could see shadows moving on the edges of the scant light their torches provides. At first they convinced themselves it was nothing. Then it kept happening. And Mishka, in spite of her Darkvision, could see nothing that could be providing the shadows.
Then the laughter started.
You are surrounded by incessant cackling.

Lucy (10)
Titian (4)
Mshka (?)
I can't find Mishka's sheet. Reg, roll when you ar eonline and send me her sheet. Assume she delays her turn this round anyway.
Map coming later tonight.
*In case you forgot, True Night is the time of 'day' in Umbralume when the moon is not overhead and it is literally and utterly pitch black.

Re: Cheri Roberts' Jan. 30 letter, "Road repairs":
I was so very glad to read about funds being put in place to repair Wooley Road between Victoria and Rose avenues.
I read about a year ago that there were plans to do this, and still nothing has happened. There is probably not another road in Ventura County that needs repaving more than Wooley Road.
Like Cheri, I am wondering if this will really be done in my lifetime.

"I was very pleased with the print and paper quality of these announcements. I've also received several comments from friends and family about how much they liked the announcement. This is my third time sending birth announcements and this one was by far my favorite."
"perfect card- after long contemplating and getting help from tiny prints this turned out to be the perfect card. Tiny prints was also able to add the design on the back. Beyond wonderful service!"
"We ordered the more expensive version, and it is worth every penny. Two of the pictures were taken with an iPhone and I wasn't sure if the quality of the picture would be good, but it came out great."
"We received so many compliments on this birth announcements! I love the simple elegant design. The only thing we changed was capitalizing the letters instead of the lower case provided in the sample. I also loved that the photo on the back was a good size so you could really see the image. Overall very satisfied with the classic look and colors. Easy and beautiful!"
"The quality of the card was amazing and really made a great first impression even before I saw the beautiful pictures of my son introducing his baby brother. The family and my friends really loved the card. I highly recommend it."

230 5th Ave, New York, NY | Directions 1000140.743994 -73.987828
Neighborhoods: Midtown South Central, Midtown
A soaring view and surprisingly good Malaysian snacks enliven this otherwise somewhat garish rooftop bar and lounge. The crowd is young and raucous and they couldn't care less though.
The rooftop is awesome on a clear day in New York.The food is very good and the overall atmosphere is awesome!
Thanks Brigitte Grisanti New York Food Fan
Great service and dinning experience. I love rooftops and the view from here is incredible.
Love this place! The rooftop is just outstanding and the view is gorgeous. Great place to come and have a good time with friends.
I love the dinning experience at 230 Fifth. Everything on their menu is delicious and the staff is very friendly and sweet.
This place right here is a great place to treat your friends at. The food is always good and fresh. They also have a large menu of drinks and desert.
Great place! Their menu is unbelievable! Everything we tried was amazing! This place is one of my newest favorite venues! I love the dining experience that the people give their costumer here.
I recommended this place to my co-workers and they tried it twice and they were asking me again this weekend to come here and enjoy a bottle or two.
Great experience more than just drinks... people watching, scene, views
I LOOOOVE this place. Came here for a friend's birthday party a couple weeks ago. I've never seen such a gorgeous view. Their rooftop area and lounge are fantastic. Lights everywhere..a good amount of space..fairly priced drinks. Their music was perfect! They played all my favorite songs so naturally I was on the dancefloor for most of the night. Best night ever. Stayed until closing..that's how good it was.
Depending on the normal ceiling top bar and depending on other opinions, my think is that if I were composing a evaluation for a Sunday evening, it'd be very inadequate but that's real of most locations, no? Such is why I'm a satisfied time young lady only. No collections, less douche-bags, and low objectives makes for a more enjoyable evening.

Clear vs. Reminders
I really like Clear on the iPhone for the interface - very slick - even though it probably isn't as useful as the reminders app itself, mainly having alerts for certain tasks.
Tempted to download Clear for OS X, but unsure if it is worth the money. Anyone out there using it so far and do you think there are any major benefits over using Reminders (apart from iCloud)?
|Dec 5, 2012, 06:57 PM
I think Clear for iOS is really nice, because it's a visually nice list app. I really enjoy using it to keep random lists of films I need to watch, or albums I need to check out, and especially for my grocery list. I think my favorite feature is that after you swipe an item to the side when you put it into your shopping cart, it can remain grayed out at the bottom, meaning if you need to buy the same things on your next trip, you can just swipe it again to reactivate it without having to retype the item.
I personally did not buy Clear for Mac, mostly because this list making feature is really only useful to me on the go. I think Reminders is more practical for actual reminders.

Nothing wrong with using both. Reminders for when you have a dead line, Clear for when you just want to make to do lists without any major time penalties.

High Pressure Flushing (Off Shore)
High pressure flushing with proper PPE
What Is This Job?
From boats, workers use high-pressure, hot water spray to flush oil from boats or other objects. (High pressure is more than 3,000 pounds per square inch, or psi.) The oil is pushed into areas where it can be collected.
What Dangers Has OSHA Found For This Task?
OSHA has closely watched workers doing oil spill work and has run tests to see if there are harmful substances in the air. The major risks that OSHA has found for this task are:
Employers must provide their workers with a safe workplace. You should report any unsafe working conditions to your supervisor or safety coordinator right away. If you are injured or feel sick, notify your supervisor immediately. For the ongoing oil response and cleanup operations, your employer must have a site safety plan for where you work and share it with you. The plan MUST include:
What Training Do I Need To Do This Job Safely?
Workers doing this task must take these two classes:
What Work Practices Do I Need To Use?
Do I Need To Wear A Respirator?
OSHA sampling data indicates that using high pressure water on oily booms, equipment, and other surfaces could create oil mist and other chemicals in the air. Because of the way that this task is done, you cannot completely control the level oil of mist and other chemicals by using only the work practices listed and natural ventilation. For these reasons, medium and high pressure washing operations MUST be continually monitored so that your supervisor or safety coordinator can tell you when additional protective equipment, including a respirator, is needed.
The correct respirator for this operation must be at least a P100 DISPOSABLE FILTERING FACE PIECE shown in the picture below:
BEFORE you can use a respirator, your employer MUST train you in the proper use of this equipment, and make sure a medical professional says you are physically able to wear a respirator.
How Can OSHA Help Me if My Employer Puts Me at Risk or Does Not Provide Me With the Equipment and Training I Need?
All workers involved in the oil spill response and cleanup have the right to a safe workplace just as they would in any other job. Contact OSHA at 1-800-321-OSHA (6742) if you think you job is unsafe, if you have questions about safety and health or if you have symptoms and want to report them. OSHA keeps your information confidential. You may file a complaint to have OSHA inspect your workplace if you believe that your employer is not following OSHA standards or there are serious hazards.
OSHA Protection From Discrimination If You Raise Safety And Health Concerns
You may also file a complaint if you believe you were fired or in any way retaliated against for raising safety concerns to an employer or for participating in safety and health activities. OSHA protects workers who complain to their employer, OSHA or other government agencies about unsafe or unhealthful working conditions in the workplace or environmental problems. You cannot be transferred, denied a raise, have your hours reduced, be fired, or punished in any other way because you used any right afforded to you under the OSHA Act.
If you have been punished or discriminated against for using your rights, you must file a complaint with OSHA within 30 days of the alleged reprisal for most complaints. No form is required, but you must send a letter or call your local Area Office to report the discrimination (within 30 days of the alleged discrimination). You can also call the 1-800 321 -0SHA (6742) and they will connect you to your area office.

FORTUNE -- It may not sound quite as sexy as search, web browsers or mobile phones, but there's growing demand for moving all sorts of office applications to the cloud. That's why, Tuesday morning, Microsoft took the wraps off of its long-awaited Office 365, a suite of online productivity tools (and one of the worst-kept secrets in the industry). And it is enlisting big phone companies, which have had a sometimes uneasy relationship with Google, to help it get the tools in the hands of customers.
That's also why, earlier in the week, Google pre-empted the launch with a snarky blog post titled "365 reasons to consider Google Apps." More

The prosecution in the trial of Arthur Lamont Henderson on Thursday used surveillance camera videos to show his alleged whereabouts on the day he is accused of raping a woman in Ross Township, according to local media reports.
But Henderson, who is representing himself, countered that the videos do not prove anything, KDKA reports. The 39-year-old North Side man is charged with raping and robbing two women in Ross and one in Hopewell in January 2012.
One video shows a man in a gray hooded sweatshirt walking down a hallway leading to a Citizens Bank ATM in Manchester where police say the man tried to use three credit cards belonging to a Ross Township woman who had just been raped, according to KDKA.
Henderson cross-examined detectives and asked if they could see his face in the videos. Although they testified they could not, they showed another video of Henderson walking into the Ross police station and said his distinctive walk is the same as that seen in the Citizens Bank video, local media reported.
The prosecution also showed a video of the man leaving the bank getting into a blue SUV, which was traced along McKnight Road traveling between the rape victim's home and the ATM, WTAE reported.
Henderson questioned whether they could see him in the car or if the camera showed his license plate, according to WTAE.
A blue SUV also was caught on video in the Rivers Casino parking lot, KDKA reported. The SUV drove around the casino parking lot for a half hour, then followed another vehicle out of the lot, police said.
The woman driving that vehicle was raped at her Hopewell home.
The charges against Henderson stem from two 2012 attacks on Ross Township women—one reported Saturday, Jan. 7, at the Woodhawk Club Apartments complex on Johnanna Drive and the other Monday, Jan. 9, at the Cascades Apartment complex off Cemetery Lane.
Hopewell Township Police also filed charges against Henderson for a sexual assault that occurred Jan. 7—the same morning as the first attack in Ross.
Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Donna Jo McDaniel is presiding over the jury trial.
Testimony continues Friday.

More than ever, Barca more than club for Catalans
BARCELONA, Spain — Nearly 20 minutes into the latest clash between Spain's most popular football teams, Barcelona's 98,000-seat Camp Nou stadium erupted into a deafening roar. Tens of thousands of Catalans in the city at the heart of their separatist movement chanted in unison: "Independence!"
More than ever, FC Barcelona, known affectionately as Barca, is living up to its motto of being "more than a club" for this wealthy northeastern region where Spain's economic crisis is fueling separatist sentiment.

DT is a physical receiver, this is going to be a great match-up. Go Broncos!!
Demaryius Thomas wants Richard Sherman to cover him in Super Bowl
Next Sunday's Super Bowl will pit Denver's number one-ranked offense against Seattle's top-ranked defense. One possible matchup to watch will be All-Pro Seahawks corner Richard Sherman against Denver's leading receiver, Demaryius Thomas. Thomas, for one, is hoping Sherman covers him.
FARRAR: Is Seattle on the verge of a dynasty?
Speaking to reporters after practice, Thomas said he'd embrace the matchup with Sherman: "He's a great player. I'd love to have that matchup and show what kind of player I am. I don't know if we'll match up, but like I said, he's a great player."
Thomas caught 92 balls for 1,430 yards and 14 touchdowns during the regular season. Sherman led the NFL with eight interceptions.
I have shake my head everytime athletes open thier mouth... pro sports is very humbling... why test Karma..... i wouldnt be surprise if Thomas tears an ACL or get injured before half time..... steve smith has been icing up ever since he gave the same advise to Aqib Talib
In response to this Sherman responded...
"Me's gonna smack him. Me's not happy with this insult. Where'z Erin Andrews...."
sherman is a really good corner but this was kaepernick throwing to crabtree and not joe montana...... not that crabtree is the best at his position either but kaepernick was little more than 50% competions for the playoffs which aint great.
fabulous play but from this point forward we will be paying more attention to sherman's good play and bad (ie. last year's playoff against roddy white/julio jones).... too early to call him "best".
This stands out as a very tough game to pick, and one that could be easily affected by an injury or turnover. Assuming the Broncos O and Seahawks D play even, I'm taking Russell Wilson and the Seahawks O over the Broncos D, especially if the Seahawks turn Wilson loose.
Thomas was getting shut down by Talib until Talib left the AFC championship game. If Sherman does as well as Talib it will be a long game for D. Thomas
Thomas/Sherman will be a great match-up to watch. Go Broncos!!
I find it amusing, that so many purported sports fans get caught up with what's going on outside the confines of the game. Who freakin cares ! Just turn the game on at kickoff, sound off at half time, enjoy the second half, game over. Commenting on all the other non-sports issues is just a waste of time.
Manning is NO KAEPERNAK- he won't lollypop pass to his receivers--- You can bet Sherman will see a number of slants and quick hitters- before the master of the game (MANNING) will sucker Sherman into a slant and up BURNER- wonder if SHERMAN will grab his HAMMY and skip off the field-- I expect Manning to turn SHERMAN into his own personal supply of CHARMIN~!
Super Bowl: To Be Determined
Why shouldn't a team's #1 receiver look forward to being covered by the opponent's #1 DB? There's no story here.
Read the WHOLE article. commenting on just the headline makes you look like a fool.
I think most of u have lost sight of the trees in theforest..I love the taunting - bragging etc..thats what makes sports so great.. Bring it on lets see who is better..Our society has become sissified unfortunately
we are not talking about a player beating up another player, selling drugs, killing a fan, abusing children etc
football is an intense violent game..and much was at stake in that game.. you had two players letting off a little steam at the end of the game
I love the mentality of some posters--In defense of Sherman- they believe by bringing up STANFORD it somehow prove a point of supremacy in their arguement- which is ridiculous--
Bill Ayers- a retired professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago- ( very good university)and , Columbia University - founded the weather underground and was involved in terrorism and murder-
Edward Snowden- - University of Liverpool--NSA LEAKER on TRAITOR to his country-
DZHOKHAR TSARNAEV= bosyon bomber- U of Mass. Darthmouth
So STOP USING STANFORD as some kind of shield-
As a Hawks fan, just wanted to say that this is a great example of how the media manipulates the heading.
Thomas didn't say anything bad or try to bait Sherman. He repeatedly called him a great player and said if they happen to match up, it'd be a great match up. What's he supposed to say?
And for all of Sherman's purported disrespectful comments, he sure has says a lot of complementary things about the Broncos WRs thus far.
Nice job trying to bait Sherman, he may be stupid enough to fall for it. If he does try to cover Thomas it could get ugly.
Peyton is not Kaepernick & Thomas is a giant compared to Crabtree.
I could have a set of these for the superbowl. Yes or no?
@friendly--neighborhood--scrawlerWhat did Thomas say that a torn ACL would be Karma? He answered the question with the utmost respect and I don't think you read the article or understand the answer he gave.
@MrArlington in one post you sounded nearly intelligent then followed up with this post that completely negates it... way to prove that bipolar trolling does exist.
Wow, and I thought 49ers fans are obnoxious.
So Drew Brees is a slouch as well, huh? Bradford of the Rams?
@DanTavern Turn Wilson loose? lol You mean unleash his barrage of inaccurate passes on the Broncos defense? I like Wilson as a guy, and he's a solid QB, but "unleashing" Wilson is the furthest from the Broncos worries. You stop Lynch, you stop the Seahawks offense; that's been proven time and time again this season.
@joe6647 Uh Joe you might want to pay attention a little more closely next time....Thomas longest reception of the game came WITH Talib in the lineup. He was far from getting shut down.
I hope Sherman does shut down DT. The Broncos have no problem with that because they don't need DT to win. They'll just throw it to JT, Welker, Decker, etc.
@mickey56 so why are you commenting about people commenting on off-the-field matters. Seems a little hypocritical.
@floorme1955He won't lollipop the passes?
Guess you don't remember the passes that Manning was slinging against the Pats earlier this season. I'll refresh your memory, they went backwards due to the wind. Manning fell apart in the 2nd half and Brady rode em like a Victoria's Secret model.
If the weather is terrible at game time, Peyton is in for some real trouble.
@floorme1955 Expecting a good game but the seahawks are built for this kind of weather. I hope Peyton is ready for NY humid bone chilling cold.
@floorme1955 You forgot the most important aspect of pass defense is the pass rush. Somebody is going to end up soft and squishy like some charmin and I don't think it is going to be the seahawks secondary.
@Matthew W Exactly. All DT did was compliment Sherman, and said he would be up for the challenge. What's he supposed to say? haha
@floorme1955 You need better examples friend. Ayers? Reallly? Let me guess; your pals at Fox news gave you that info? Say what you will about the weather underground, and I will not defend them; but you consider them worse than those who sent 58k Americans to die in a pointless war? Neither side has clean hands; your view on that issue is all too common and, sadly, lacks perspective.
@floorme1955Your analysis is incorrect. Why take a few well-educated people who chose to commit evil or criminal acts and promote them as poster children for a fallacy, then ignore the tens of thousands of graduates from each of those institutions who have led moral, productive lives that reinforce the opposite view?
And let me make sure that I understand you: Edward Snowden is a traitor to we the people because he revealed to us that our American intelligence agency charged with spying on foreign intelligence programs was recording our - yours and mine and every other American citizens' - cell phone calls, texts, instant messages, and emails unlawfully and without our permission? Which constitution did Mr. Snowden betray, because it certainly wasn't the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits unwarranted searches and seizures.
@floorme1955 This post is stupid.
@floorme1955 What a ridiculous post. No wonder you won't use your name.
@floorme1955 .. only in defense of clowns like u implyin gthat have stated Sherman lacks intelligence..do we bring up his undergrad and graduate accomplishments at Stanford
specific to what happened..he made a tremendous play..he save the game for Denver
he walked over to crabree, attempted to shake his hand and was then shoved in the face by Crabtree
actually..nobody did anything wrong..its sports ..football is an intense violent game..and that interaction 45 seconds after the game ended was harmless..no one got hurt..no one used profanity..no one threated anothers family..etc
a NON STORY
two very good football teams the 49s and the Broncos..a fun game to watch..be grateful for that
frankly..aside from our Pacman jones hitting women in bars..I sure wish some of Bengals players showed a little more intensity
According to local sportswriters..sherman is a polite and well spoken player most of the time..hes active in community involvements
My god man ..u are making him out to be a criminal..get a life and perspectve
They stopped Lynch and still gave Seattle the largest margin of victory for the entire season. So much for that theory!
@badflounder @DanTavern WILSON HAD THE HIGHEST QB RATING FOR HIS FIRST TWO SEASONS IN THE SUPER BOWL ERA,ALSO HAD THE MOST WINS OF ANY QB
Tell that to the Saints. They held him to under 50 yards and still lost 34-7.
@badflounder @joe6647 It was his ONLY reception. a 22 yarder. In their first game Thomas had 4 catches for 41 yards and a TD. He didnt exactly light it up when Talib was in
I think people dont understand that demarius was catching some passes even before the "hit" on talib (discount belly-check is ridiculous).... more importantly than talib was the fact that the pats pass rush was also lost for the game.
@PhillyPenn @mickey56 Sorry ! Click on - tipoff: 1st half - Heat 58 SA 50: halftime - mute: 2nd half - Heat 55 SA 41: game over: click off : Better ?
@drmuon @floorme1955 Do you guys realize that the Broncos play in Denver, where it, um, snows and is, um, cold?
@drmuon @floorme1955 I expect Denver has served well to prepare Manning for New Jersey-- but guess we have to wait for the game to see-
@JeffBockert @floorme1955 solid point, but their line seems to be jell'n at the right time-- NO SACKS in the past 3 games-- I'm sure there has been some hurries, but Manning seems to be a a level above others right now-- the game simply seems slower to him as he reads defenses--
@DanTavern @floorme1955 Don't waste your time. Floorme is a blind conservative who blindly calls out people without considering the context of the issue at hand.
@BobNickell @floorme1955 what makes it ridiculous HOMER-- I made a factual post that people from respectable universities do silly, harmful and ignorant acts- that Sherman graduating from standford is not a defense to his embarrasibf tyrade
@MarkBecker @floorme1955 I never sdaid sherman lacks intelligence- He acted like an idiot, which many do-- ( see your post as an example) We all know what happened and so grateful that you broke it down AGAIN- =His self proclaimation as being the best is a sad-sad- SAD example and peek into hisTRUE charaCTER-
@mickey56 makes as much sense as a blind man going to the movies.
@JubJub @drmuon @floorme1955 -- my point exactly-- I believe you misread my post
@floorme1955@Sportsredo@pirate@JeffBockert That would matter more if the Hawks offense was dependent on Wilson's arm. Personally I'm looking forward to Manning trying to run away from the pressure. Should be fun – or funny. A steady diet of Beast Mode and a suffocating defense (notice how they completely shut down Frank Gore last week?) will certainly make the game interesting. We all think we know what's gonna happen. That's why they play the games. It oughta be a good one.
@Sportsredo @pirate @floorme1955 @JeffBockert gee- guess your right- I mean Manning had a 115 passer rating while wilson was at 102-- you know higher is better right?
i think 55 TD passes is slightly higher than wilsons 26 ? 26?? and manning does have a lower number in 1 category-- he was sacked 18 times while HAPPY FEET WILSON was sacked 44 times- Yeah-- it may be a long day foe them SHAWKS
@pirate @floorme1955 @JeffBockert manning gets rid of it fast because 1) don't hit me and 2) he can't throw the ball like he used too. His arm is not as strong as the ineffective arm of Kaepernick. Go Shawks - -
@floorme1955@JeffBockert The success of Manning and the O line is based in part on how fast (2.2 seconds on average) Manning gets the ball out. But the Seahawk defenders jam receivers at the line of scrimmage, screwing up the timing. Manning is one of those QBs (Brady is another) who if you hit him a few times early, gets happy feet. They don't have to sack him – although I think they will – just rough him up early, and they'll be in his head the rest of the game. This sets up like a very long game for Peyton.

He's been with others for oral stuff and the online things are too numerous and despicable to really even describe.
And yet, this one (at least I currently think it's one) act hurts so much more. It's the one act, I fear I won't be able to get past.
Why do you think that is?
Sometimes you have to allow yourself the time to feel bad. You are entitled to. I don't know why you are fixated on this one thing today, I suspect another day you will obsess about something else.
Are you seeing a good IC? If he? I've forgotten, sorry. He/she can help you process some of the crap. And PLEASE don't feel bad for wanting to dump him. Yes, a disease, but not one that absolves him from personal responsibility. Truly, in your shoes, knowing what I know now, no kids, no obligations? You would be foolish NOT to consider it. Just give YOURSELF time to make a decision. Do it for you, so that in 10 years you can look back and have a clear heart about your choice.
You also need time just to process this whole UGLY SORDID mess. And that will take time. And the support of your circle of friends. Here, and IRL.
Hugs. and more Hugs.
If you are having trouble falling asleep without meds, I recently made a discovery that has helped me...I downloaded a hypnotism program to stop binge eating. It was actually a "groupon," for for about $10. I started using it a bedtime. It HAS helped the emotional eating and a side effect is that it helps me fall asleep. There are a number of similar relaxation programs on the web, maybe one would help.
He's headed to KeyStone for 6 weeks then to stay with his parents where he has access to numerous CSATs / 12 step groups.
Not sure what to do for me. I need to keep my job right now. Suggestions?
Do you have any access to an Sanon group? or COSA? I swear, those women saved my life. Look on the web, there should be a phone number, you'll leave a message, someone will call you back with meeting info. It isn't always posted because sometimes the wrong people look for meetings...
My IC isn't a CSAT but is VERY familiar with addictions. Look for someone like that. But if you can find a Sanon group, those folks will have, not only names, but IRL recommendations.
This addiction CAN be beat. I know of several long time addicted/long time recovered successful couples. Their marriages survived some of the sordid ugly stuff we did. Some worse. It really is about getting you BOTH healthy separately so that you can be a in successful partnership after that. So do focus on yourself. As much as you can.
PM me if you want.
I can't get over that also. The fact he shared intimate, emotional things with her. It wasn't just sex. He talked with her about our kids and everything else. He was pushing me away. Told me every time he looked at me he only saw kids and bills and nothing else.
Then, there's the contstant lies. So many veterans here have repeated "addicts lie" what are his actions. Well....he's abusive, angry and emotionally distant.
I know how hard it is to decide. We can't make those choices for you about your life, but we are here to listen and certainly understand the trauma and pain you are going through.
Hugs, torn
He is very eager to go to KeyStone - so eager that he actually called and asked if he could go a day early. He seems very resolved to get help and to lose his double life. He wants to be a better husband to me and to be a better man and not a creepy, predator scuzz ball. He really feels like "this time" it will be different...deja vu?
I feel like our whole marriage has been a sham. I've never once in our entire marriage been the only woman in his life. Why did he even propose? Because he thought it would change once we were engaged. Why did he marry me? Because he thought it would change once we were married. Why didn't he get help after we were married? Well, he hasn't been able to answer that one yet.
I have often wondered when I meet someone who's known him before they met me, why they can't look me in the eye. Well, now I know! He was probably hitting on them or watched him shamelessly hit on someone else! Who is this man I have married??? One of the things I liked about him when we first met was that he wasn't flirty; he didn't play mind games; he was refreshingly laid-back and straight-forward. Meanwhile the person he shows to everyone else is exactly the opposite: aggressive and flirty. I mean, WTF?!? Who is this person I married?!?
He says that he sees himself as two people - the real him and the addict. He says the him I know is the real him - the him he's proud of and wants to be all the time. The addict is the him he hates and is ashamed of. In his mind, if he can get rid of the addict, then we can have a happy life.
But how can someone be two people? He is both the him I know AND the addict.
So I don't know. I am so confused. My vision is blurring and I actually feel a buzz in my brain right now like I had a glass of wine even though I haven't. I guess the neurons in my brain are trying to rewire or something. They're as confused as I am.
I guess it's good that he wants to go. It's good that he wants to get better. I just can't help but feel like my entire marriage is a sham, the person I love is a fake, and sometimes, I wonder whether I truly exist or not, too.
See even my thoughts sound like I've been drinking. I am messed up. Going to bed and giving my brain a chance to recover...
I have a feeling many/most of us here reeled/are still reeling (I'm the latter) at the notion of WHO THE HELL DID WE MARRY???
Also, or at least for me,
I feel like I've been the only one who was married. As if I've been married to a single man.
I hope each of you were able to take a moment over the weekend and recharge your batteries. Hugs to all, especially to those of you who (like me) struggled over the weekend.
Early last week SAWH talked to my stepdad, who apparently gave him a talking to about events of the last two years. I only know because SAWH called me later to complain. I essentially told SAWH so? and he dropped it. The next day I found out DS16 had invited my parents to spend Christmas with us so they could hear DS solo at midnight mass- and they had accepted, although they (and I ) were worried about if/how SAWH would cope.
For the first time in many years my parents came to spend Christmas with us. It was joyful and heartwarming and stressful at the same time. I remembered just how much I miss the my parents company and support, while at the same time worrying that SAWH would be a total asswipe and make a scene, which in turn emphasized to me how much I want to get out of this living situation. A few weeks ago I decided that Christmas joy is an integral part of who I am, and I decided that no matter what happened I wouldnt allow SAWH shenanigans to change that part of me, and this weekend was a small test of that decision. Miraculously we all survived without any scenes!
I was shocked to discover that Santa had repaired my anniversary rings & put them in my stocking. After 21 months of not wearing any rings at all, Im now wearing an anniversary band SAWH gave me for our tenth anniversary. It has been damaged & unworn for so long that DS16 thought it was new! How sad is that?! SAWHs expression changed briefly when he heard DS say that to me. *sigh* I wish it was spontaneously fixed, but he paid for it because we had a fight a few months ago about why I dont wear my wedding bands & I had to remind SAWH that none of them were wearable. Jeez. Hes just gotta keep up appearances. Heaven forbid he actually does something positive to express how he feels about me. I mean, even immediately after DDay #1 SAWH didn't do anything about *my* rings although he went and bought himself a new weddding band less than a month later- put it on in the store and wore it out of there without ever talking to me. As far as I'm concerned the whole 'I fixed your rings' is empty and meaningless. Im wearing them and they feel weird. I feel weird. I dont feel married any more. The rings feel empty to me. The symbolism & emotional connection is gone.
Anyway, hes working four days straight this coming weekend. Maybe itll be peaceful.
"Live a life not an apology." Edward R.Murrow

Yes, they do lead a double life. My SAWH has verbalized this to me as well. The books talk of a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde effect. The external person they show the outside world and their secret life of porn, sex parlors, etc.
The only way for them to get rid of the addict is thru sustained recovery actions. Something my SA will not recognize or do.
One of the core beliefs of an addict is that noone will love them as they are so they show the world someone different, someone they see as good.
Sabina, so happy you had a wonderful holiday! Funny enough my SA says the same for my wedding rings. He keeps looking at that finger, asks me why I took it off and says if we are working on the M it should be on. He wears his for appearances!
I think porn is one of the starting points for SA. Or it can even be its own addiction. But it doesn't really matter. If the behavior is causing difficulties in a person's life, if the behavior is esculating, if the person wants to stop but can't, they have an addiction problem.
Admitting he has a problem is the first step in the healing process. There are many resources found on the first page of this thread.
Keep posting and reading here. We'll help you though whatever you are facing.
It seems that he is very motivated to get well. Hopefully you will be able to participate in the family part of his program at Keystone and start to come to grips with your anger.
Remember, you don't need to make any decision about the rest of your life right now. Give yourself some time and space.
This does get better.
So I'm doing better. Christmas was okay. No drama of any kind. I think the kids were a little disappointed that Santa was a bit stingy this year. But at least they had the grace not to say anything.
Sadly, I'm really, really counting on this job in Boston to come through for my H. Most importantly, we need the money. Savings are almost gone. Bills keep coming, things keep breaking. Finances have been the most stressful part of H's addiction. There was the tens of thousands of dollars he has spent over the years, the loss of the job, the pending criminal charges which require attorney fees and restitution. Secondly, I really want him to be out of my house so I can figure out what I want. I'm sure he thinks that since I am cordial and not to crabby, it means that I intend to stay married to him. My mind is still not made up and he has a long way to go in convincing me he is a changed man. I just reiterate that I need to be happily married by June 2013 or I'm leaving the marriage.
I'm really looking forward to 2012. Fresh calendar, fresh attitude (I hope.)
He continues to screw with my head. His Xmas card to me included a handwritten note that said: "I'm sorry for the pain I've caused you this year, or for that matter, ever. I love you, and hope to spend a very long, and very happy, lifetime with you, my beautiful wife.
*Le sigh* How I wish I could believe him!
Well we made it through Christmas. Our next challenge will be that sawh comes out of inpatient treatment tomorrow...I have made it very clear that I am unsure about where I stand in terms of relationship, I am confused. I don't feel married, I don't feel like we even have a relationship. I am very very confused....
I don't feel married, I don't feel like we even have a relationship. I am very very confused....
Ditto those feelings here. Wishing you well today hurt94. Keep us posted on how things go.
I don't think an addict is two people. Such a belief keeps a person from taking responsibility and owning what their addiction has done to them and all of the others around them.
I agree Sager. If he never embraces the addict as part of himself, then he will never get better.
Just went to gyn for STD panel. Lab tests back in 2 weeks. Fingers crossed.
It's never sexual and it's really not even all that flirty it's just general talking really.
I just don't know where to go from here.
Remindme... (gently, please), from here, maybe you have to draw the line in the sand. This is still infidelity. MUCH of my fWH's acting out was social, KISA, chatting, although IRL. Whether or not he is cheating in any traditional sense, he is disrespecting you, your marriage and your heart. I tolerated similar things because he TTed me and justified it by thinking they were "friends" "I am doing NOTHING wrong!" etc. I wish I had stood up for myself long ago. He may or may not be an SA. But he IS NOT being a faithful husband. We all deserve that.

Dayton Proposes Smaller Tax Hike; GOP Not InterestedGov. Mark Dayton opened budget talks Monday by shrinking his proposal for new taxes, an offer that top Republican lawmakers immediately rejected.
By: Martiga Lohn, Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Gov. Mark Dayton opened budget talks Monday by shrinking his proposal for new taxes, an offer that top Republican lawmakers immediately rejected.
With a week left in the session, Dayton said he won't consider signing budget bills until he has a deal for $1.8 billion in new revenue.
The latest moves showed the deep differences between the first-term Democratic governor and a Legislature newly under GOP control, where majorities adamantly oppose tax increases. The standoff over taxes raises the chances of a special session and potential state government shutdown starting in July.
Republicans have vowed to erase a $5 billion budget shortfall solely by reducing spending.
"I'm not going to agree to that," Dayton said at a news conference. "I've offered to meet them halfway and I'm not going to do any more than that. It's their responsibility to meet me halfway."
In his latest offer, Dayton dropped a proposed new property tax on $1 million-plus homes and raised the threshold for a new top income tax tier to more than $300,000 for couples and about $180,000 for individuals. With both sides planning to continue a $1.4 billion payment delay for public schools, the governor said his tax plan would cover half the remaining deficit. The rest would come from spending cuts he wants to negotiate with legislators.
Dayton also agreed to a Senate plan to increase K-12 school funding by $50 per pupil for each of the next two years. He said that would require an additional $128 million in spending cuts from other areas of the budget.
House Speaker Kurt Zellers and Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch emerged from a 40-minute meeting with Dayton looking somber.
"There is a not a majority vote in the House of Representatives for a tax increase, a tax increase to feed government spending," said Zellers, R-Maple Grove.
He added: "It's not about us. It's not about the governor. It's about what kind of economy we're going to have for our future, for our kids."
The legislative leaders are eager for Dayton to weigh in on a slate of budget bills they have been finalizing since last week. Koch held out hope that the governor could agree to pieces of the budget, possibly the K-12 package.
But Dayton rejected that idea, saying he won't support any budget bills until there's an overall agreement.
The governor said the new income taxes would affect less than 2 percent of Minnesota residents and could get votes from Democratic legislative minorities. He said taxing the wealthy is better than the GOP's "draconian all-cuts budget," which he said would throw people off subsidized health care and disability services and strain the state's public colleges and universities.
"I just don't think Minnesotans want to do that to their fellow citizens, and good for Minnesotans. We're better than that," Dayton said.
Meanwhile, action at the Capitol on Monday focused on anything but the budget. The Senate approved two bills with new abortion restrictions even though both face near-certain vetoes from the governor, who supports abortion rights.
Hundreds of protesters opposed to a statewide vote banning gay marriage milled outside the House chamber, the next front for a constitutional amendment that cleared the Senate last week.
Dayton also planned to discuss a proposal to build a new Vikings stadium in Arden Hills with Ramsey County commissioners spearheading the plan.
Associated Press writer Patrick Condon contributed to this report.

The Mayor's Coalition, along with Sen. Roger Katz, the bill sponsor, will unveil their proposal at a press conference at Augusta City Hall.
Most of the bond package – $55 million – would support education, research and development.
Another $20 million would fund transportation projects, including $10 million for railroad infrastructure.
The remaining $10 million would fund water and wastewater improvements.
The bond proposal would need legislative approval before going before voters.
The Mayor's Coalition includes mayors from 12 communities – from Bangor to Sanford, including Portland.
The bipartisan group was established to support state policies that grow the economy and oppose policies that would shift costs to municipalities.
