Female lawmakers are demanding the City Council act on a paid sick leave bill, but Speaker Christine Quinn says she's not ready to call for a vote.
Quinn, a likely candidate for mayor, is getting an earful for not allowing her members to vote on the bill.
More than 15 female elected officials gathered for a rally on the steps of City Hall Monday to call for Quinn to advance the legislation.
The bill would mandate companies with more than five employees provide five paid sick days each year.
Supporters say that it will specifically help working mothers.
"Do what is right. Allow for the debate to go on. Why are you so afraid," Democratic Rep. Nydia Velazquez, who represents parts of Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan, said.
"The Speaker has always indicated that she supports the concept, but she doesn't want to pass the bill," Councilwoman Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan). "We hope she changes her mind."
But Quinn says she still needs more time to examine the consequences of the legislation.
"I believe providing paid sick leave to hard working families is a worthy and admirable goal," Quinn said in a statement. "However, with the current state of the economy and so many businesses struggling to stay alive, I do not believe it would be wise to implement this policy, in this way, at this time."

2014 Harley-Davidson® Softail® Breakout®
Breakout® Key Features
Key Features
Side-mounted License Plate
We keep the look of the Breakout® model's signature rear clean and minimal with this side-mounted bracket, so nothing gets in the way of the showing off that big rear tire and tight fender.
Breakout to the New
Don't just break the mold—forge your own with the latest chapter in Harley-Davidson's legacy of freedom. A premium custom cruiser inspired by the classic Gasser drag bikes of the '50s and '60s, the Softail® Breakout® model rolls with modern power, top-of-the-line treatments and lots of low-down menace. Big wheels, big paint, big chrome, all wrapped in a refined style—the Breakout® model is a true attention-grabber with a ride that's been painstakingly engineered for fun whether you're winding mountain roads or cruising the strip. It may be low-profile, but the Breakout® motorcycle always makes a big, bold statement.
Low Muscular Profile
With its big, bold stance, the Breakout® motorcycle makes a powerful impact even standing still. Its pure, clean lines, low-slung profile, stretched stance, big wheels and chopped fenders all shout premium custom, solid power and "look at me" attitude, even as its performance makes it your choice who gets to stare and for how long before you disappear.
Premium Craftsmanship
From wheel to wheel, we designed the Breakout® model with a hard eye for excellence: we forged it from top quality materials and crafted it with a dedication to perfection—from paint scheme and chromed-out styling to its slammed design, balanced ride and engine performance, we sweated every single fit, finish and tolerance of this perfect beast, because when you rule the road, there's no place for second best.
Premium Finish and 3-D Tank Medallion
The Breakout® model's power definitely includes its visual impact. That bold Hard Candy Chrome Flake, Amber Whiskey, Morocco Gold Pearl and Vivid Black treatment is an aggressive mix of gleam and darkness, while that exclusive gear-shaped glass-inlaid, cloisonné-and-chrome style tank medallion has a molten, liquid look that catches eyes and declares your ride as the next chapter in the Softail® family heritage.
Powerful Front End
The Breakout® model comes on strong with thick, wide forks, chopped fender and that wide-standing big 21-inch, 3 1/2-in wide Gasser wheel raked out there, classic dragster-style. This solid, muscular road stance is matched by neutral and balanced handling, so your ride is as smooth and clean as your looks are mean.
Fat Rear Tire profile
Big is the name of the game for the Breakout® model, and they don't come bigger than this massive 18-inch, 240mm rear tire. It's the widest tire we've ever put on a product motorcycle and, wrapped around that Gasser rim, it's the perfect embodiment of the classic drag-bike heritage pumping through this ride.
Gasser wheels
Exclusively designed for the Breakout® motorcycle, these rims call back to the Gasser dragsters of the '50s and '60s while defining the next generation of custom style. Big and bold with their alternating spokes, these wheels shout strength and durability, while their alternating glossy Vivid Black and machined finishes on every other spoke deliver eye-catching visual impact.
Chopped Fenders
Low, tight and cut down to the legal limit, the Breakout® model's fenders add to its stretched and slammed custom style. We chopped them to the legal limit to show off those huge muscular tires and Gasser rims. Plus, the fender supports are one-piece forged aluminum, polished and chromed for the ultimate in strength, weight-reduction and looks.
Slammed Console
It's not just slammed, it's the tightest console we've ever smacked onto a tank. And with its integrated decorative vent and electrical lines, its sleek profile adds a distinctive touch of ultra clean custom style to the Breakout® motorcycle's aggressive stance.
Riser-mounted Speedo
All this power and style doesn't come at the expense of comfort and convenience. Feast your eyes on this 4-inch digital speedometer, mounted on risers to be close to your field of vision. It offers speed readout, along with fuel gauge and gear indicator.
Hard Candy Custom™ Paint
Hard Candy Custom™ paint is a large metal flake finish that's more than just paint job, it's a shining declaration of independence—bright, bold and unique. You can push the long, low custom look of the Breakout® motorcycle even farther with new, optional Hard Candy Chrome Flake paint. This is true, old school metal flake paint laid down with the elbow grease it takes to hand sand layer upon layer of clear coat. And, in case you didn't notice the name, the color is CHROME. You just might blow out a few onlookers' retinas if the sun hits it just right when you roll by.
Six-Speed Cruise Drive® Transmission
You want a ride that rumbles—not begs for mercy—when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. It's a rare ride when a bike responds like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're opening up the road ahead.
Twin Cam 103™ Engine Power
Live your ride to the power of Twin Cam 103™. The air cooled Twin Cam 103™ Harley Davidson® engine delivers more stump pulling torque, while its Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection jetting gives crisp, lively throttle reaction. It's a performance punch you'll appreciate when passing, climbing hills, or just catching eyes as you cruise by—all under that signature Motor Company rumble. And it comes at lower cruising rpm, so you ride more smoothly, with less engine vibration and better highway fuel economy.
Twin Cam 103™ Engine Heritage
The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it was put to good use when we created the Twin Cam 103™; engine. We sweated bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and technology forward. And we did it all without compromising one bit of Harley-Davidson's unique styling. Evolved, yet carrying on the legacy of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution®, Twin Cam 88®; and Twin Cam 96™ engines that came before. The performance and durability are a direct result of the untold miles logged on the V-Twin since 1909, and the proud heritage that comes from a century's worth of commitment to life on two wheels.
Twin Cam 103™ Engine Innovation
Fire up the Twin Cam 103™ engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed. Thanks to the lightweight piston design, delivery of the added power is more refined than ever. Then put your foot on the shifter and feel how the engine and Six-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission were designed to work together. Six speeds. A strong driveline and strong internal parts. Low routine maintenance. And a low cruising rpm couldn't feel better.
Black and Chrome Engine Styling
Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 103™ engine and there's no mistaking its roots. From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers, this is authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. And true to the rest of the Softail® Breakout® model's style, its engine treatment is also a masterpiece of machine art—the Vivid Black and Chrome finishes create a stark, sharply defined pattern of gleaming light and dark: glossy black muffler covers and oil tank cover, gleaming chrome pipes and rocker covers.
H-D® Smart Security System
The factory-installed next-generation security system features a hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the vehicle electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the work. It's this attention to details and security that make Harley-Davidson® motorcycles unique.
Anti-Lock Brakes
You may be cruising with swagger, but you know safety counts. This sophisticated, factory-installed ABS gives 'stopping power' a double meaning. Its components are tastefully hidden within the wheel hub, so you'll still turn heads with clean, streamlined design. But more importantly, you get certainty in the saddle knowing your bike's going to behave when you need it.
3-in-1 Stop/Turn/Tail Lights
These chromed 3-in-1 lamps complement the Breakout® model's overall stylish, powerful profile while their state-of-the-art technology packs tail lights, turn and stop signal technology into each sleek, minimalist bullet.
Balanced Suspension & Handling
The Breakout® model may be a big bold bike with a powerful stretched stance, but it's definitely not just for show. We carefully balanced and damped its suspension to give it a neutral feel—even with those big, wide tires—and engineered it for lightness, for an excellent power-to-weight ratio. The bottom line? A smooth, fun ride whether roaring from stoplight to stoplight or winding along country roads.
Low Seat and Pillion

About Harley-Davidson Softail® Breakout®
The 2014 Harley Davidson FXSB Softail Breakout is a premium drag bike that mixes premium features, fit and finishes with a wide, muscular, stance and slammed, low-slung power profile inspired by classic Gasser dragsters of the 1950s and 1960s. The Harley-Davidson Breakout model has a stretched, slammed custom style that's low, long and aggressive. The 2014 Breakout Harley Softail model is driven by a powerful air-cooled Twin Cam 103 Harley engine with 6 speed cruise drive transmission that provides more performance power for passing and hill-climbing, and a low cruising RPM for more comfortable cruising. The big, bold Gasser wheels have alternating-position spokes with alternating Vivid Black and machined treatments. The FXSB Softail Breakout model's Gasser wheels recall the powerful, muscular wheels of classic 1960s and 1970s dragster bikes. The H-D FXSB model's Big V-Twin engine has a unique, sharp-looking Vivid Black and Chrome treatment. The massive 240 mm rear tire on the Breakout model is the widest wheel on any Harley production motorcycle. The FXSB Softail model's fenders are chopped to the legal limit to show off the big tires and complement the sleek dragster style. The exclusive drag-style handlebars are low, wide and offer an aggressive, lean-forward riding position. The Breakout FXSB model sports an exclusive fuel tank medallion and premium paint treatments. Every fit, finish and tolerance of the Softail Breakout has been painstakingly crafted and engineered. The 2014 Breakout model has a neutral balanced suspension for a fun, nimble ride. Its two-piece saddle with detachable pillion is comfortable for solo and two-up riding. Learn all about it and other head-turning premium custom-style Harley-Davidson motorcycles like the 1970s chopper-inspired Sportster 72 and the powerful modern street-racer attitude of the V-Rod Muscle and V-Rod Night Rod Special.

Democrats are so over-the-top in all criticism of Conservatives. We are not small government proponents but no government proponents. We are not right wing but far right wing. We are not pro-life but women haters. We´re racists and Nazi´s and homophobes. Their hyperbole is so overused anymore that it has no sting to it. It doesn´t hurt my feelings at all. When I hear the name calling I know we have won another argument. Chew them up and spit them out Ted. I am starting to like this guy...a lot.

Cornyn signed on to defund Obamacare and then started to wobble. He evidently heard from folks back home because he is strongly in support now.This really isn´t about defunding, its about forcing Obama to either implement the law as passed or vote to amend the law. Its wrong to fund this with a continuing resolution when HHS is not going to verify eligibility and Obama is not going to implement the employer mandate.

Help me here folks. I always thought defunding 0bamacare meant it would stop dead in its tracks. I´m all for that. However, now I understanding that 0bamacare is already 95% funded and "de-funding" 0bamacare will only impact 5% of its implementation. Is that true? If so, the argument goes that 0bamacare will go ahead Jan. 1st come hell or high water no matter what. Is THAT also true? So, if all this is true, what do we accomplish by de-funding now.

I read the whole article. It´s fairly encouraging. I´ve just gotten so used to the rabbits caving in that I hate to get too optimistic.One man can make a difference. Ted Cruz is proving that. And... he´s Hispanic. Point that out to all the Hispanics you come in contact with.

As Bandit said to Big and Little Enos: "That´s real good psychology. Why don´t you say something bad about my mother?""Liberals" these days make no sense at all. Cruz´s answer to Karl "DoughBoy" Rove was excellent. Stay with it, Ted.

Thank you #7. When you mentioned that Ted Cruz was Hispanic, you jarred me into recognizing that I´d slipped into the comfortable mode of thinking of him simply as an American...of Cuban descent.I thought about my own heritage and compared myself to other Americans I admire. Dr. Ben Carson may be unique; he seems to be an American of straight Negro descent. But I identify closely with George Zimmerman who had a Peruvian mother with the rest of his heritage being like my "Heinz 57 Variety" lineage.It is a pure pleasure to contemplate my multi-faceted fellow Americans for what they are: pure Americans.

We're here to support you in your quest for knowledge, understanding, and practical skills. We encourage you to connect with both your peers and professors. The connections forged here will continue to serve you well beyond your years at SJSU.
College is for many one of the more exciting times of life. One learns, makes friends, perhaps meets a partner, chooses a direction in terms of employment for the next few years and grows into adulthood. One becomes independent of parents and able to determine one's direction. With such freedom comes responsibility to oneself, loved ones and the community.
Students that are engaged with the San Jose State University community work to make a difference and improve the world they inherited from their parents.
Relationships and social networks are vital so many students join clubs and student organizations to have a sense of belonging.
Many of our students work so much that it slows down their graduation dates. They go into debt to buy things they want and then have to work still more, thereby delaying the time when they can make as much as a college graduate earns. Sometimes they work so much that it limits their ability to study and thrive in school. One of course needs money but students that succeed make school the top priority.

Watch Family Guy
Family Guy is an animated American comedy which features the ever changing tale of the Griffin family and the challenges they face as they attempt to live their lives in rural Quahog, RI. The show was created by Seth MacFarlane and has been nominated for thirteen Emmy awards during its run of over ten years. The show has been praised by critics for being inventive and fresh as well as labeled as repetitive and offensive by others.
The show revolves around Peter Griffin, the father of the family. Peter is a simple blue collar man who equates a lot of what he knows to television shows and previous experiences that he shares with the audience in the form of flashbacks. Peter is a fairly simple man in his approach to problems, for example, when the FCC began cracking down on television nudity, he simply decides to start his own network. Peter's approach usually leads to trouble though and he needs the support of his family to see it through. He is joined by his wife, Lois, a woman from a family of means who has tried to distance herself from her family's money for fear that it would corrupt the family she is trying desperately to raise. Lois teaches piano in addition to maintaining the household. Rounding out the household is their dog, Brian who is able to talk. Brian is Peter's best friend and intensely attracted to Lois. Despite the conflict of interest, Brian often does whatever is in the best interest of the family, even if it injures his own dreams. Brian attended Brown University but never graduated and considers himself an intellectual in the family. Brian struggles at times with his desire to lead an independent life and the limitations of being labeled as a family pet.
The Griffins have three children. Meg, the oldest and only daughter in the family, is socially awkward and frequently regarded as unattractive by the other members of the cast. She spends the majority of her time trying to fit in and be a normal teenage girl. Chris is the middle child and oldest son. Chris routinely battles with his weight and his less than stellar intellect. Chris idolizes his father, and will frequently try to impress or please him, even though he knows his father is not always making sound decisions. Finally, there is Stewie, the baby of the family who is clearly the most intelligent person in the household. Stewie is a genius who gets little credit for his intellect from his family. Stewie occasionally toys with the idea of ruling the world and sees his mother, Lois, as a hindrance to his plans. Stewie frequently dreams of eliminating Lois, but never follows through with the notion or falls short in his attempts. Stewie has created a weather controlling device, time machine and a mind control device while only being two years old. Stewie has a love-hate relationship with Brian, who is the only member of the family who recognizes that Stewie is intelligent, but frequently has conflicts with Stewie due to his own intellectual perceptions. In addition to the family, Peter has many friends in the town who make regular appearances including Joe Swanson, the paralyzed cop who does more than most able bodied men and Glenn Quagmire, the wacky neighbor who is a legend with the ladies in town.
Seth MacFarlane has gathered a diverse cast of Hollywood actors to voice the Griffin family and their neighbors. In addition to providing multiple voices himself, MacFarlane recruited veteran actors Seth Green, Mila Kunis, Patrick Warburton and Adam West to contribute to the cast. The show uses a wide variety of techniques to keep the viewer entertained. MacFarlane frequently employs original songs in the show in addition to the comic flashbacks and unusual situations. These methods have been widely praised by critics for the show remaining fresh and unpredictable. The end result is a show which finds humor in television, pop culture and every day life.

Family Guy News
"Family Guy" fans got a Christmas miracle today, welcoming a familiar face back into the show. A couple of weeks ago, the show killed off Brian Griffin in a car accident, and it was clear from the way it was presented that it would be a permanent move. Immediately fans reacted, some even to the point of outrage over one of their favorite animated characters being killed off, because that's a valuable use of time and effort.
The Griffins are invited to join the prestigious Barrington Country Club.
Stewie and Brian hop in the teleporter and head for Las Vegas and a Celine Dion concert, but the machine malfunctions and duplicates them. One pair of them is rendered "lucky," while the other pair is "unlucky."
After teddy bear Rupert gets recalled, Stewie will stop at nothing to get his best friend back.
The "Family Guy" episode "Turban Cowboy" has been pulled from Fox.com and Hulu.com with no plans to return.
When Peter, Quagmire and Joe fly on a private plane to Canada, they crash in the middle of the wilderness, and Peter is nominated to find help. He ends up disappearing for two months and is found as a feral creature with no ability to communicate intelligently.
Mayor West becomes the prime suspect of a murder at his mansion. He goes on trial and the people of the must decide his fate.
Peter, Quagmire and Joe go skydiving to add excitement into their lives. But after an unfortunate accident, Peter ends up in the hospital and decides to convert to Islam.
When the Griffins become financially burdened, Lois is forced to find a job of her own. She gets discovered by a "voiceover" agent that runs an adult-only phone line.
Chris runs away to live with Herbert. Meanwhile, Stewie and Brian become obsessed with singer Anne Murray.
In a Valentine's Day special, Stewie meets the love of his life, Meg goes on a date, the universe gets revenge on Quagmire, and Brian tries to figure out why he's still single. What other shenanigans lie in store?

What's happening at YAY?
(This post was originally posted on microstockgroup.com).
Hi everybody, and Happy New Year!
First I would like to apologize for a long time without any regular updates. Luckily, the reason for this is that we're busy working on getting the sales up at YAY! We're still small compared to the big sites, but we're getting there!
The last couple of months we've been working on our affiliate program (read more here: http://yaymicro.com/affiliate), SEO, R&D on our search, and developing an API. We're also in the process of adding a new partner to our third-party program. (Read more about third party and how to apply: http://yaymicro.com/view.action?page=third-party-sales-program).
Soon our API is ready for use – and that's what I'd like to get some feedback on. We've seen a need for more transparency in our industry, and my impression is that people feel they lack control of their property: their images. Traditionally, in the image industry there's been common practice to share images between agencies, often involving many agencies (resulting small royalties to the photographers – many earning less than a microstock-photographer on some images, but they try to keep this a secret ). With international sites, this sharing gets even more complicated, and it's easy to feel a lack of control for a photographer, and for the image agencies as well.
We've decided to list all our partners for the API, and give you an option to Opt-out from the ones you don't want to use. You'll also get details on the commission for YAY, along with the percentage of commission provided to you. Our goal is that you'll make at least as much on an API-sale as you would if the image was sold at YAY, but the amount will vary depending on the different agreements.
I'm wondering if there is any information or other aspects of the API that are important issues for photographers that we haven't considered?
CEO, YAYmicro

Facebook cover photos have been disappearing recently, but a spokesperson says there aren't any changes to its terms of service.
When Facebook users add a cover photo they are prompted with this message:
"Pick a unique photo from your life to feature at the top of your timeline. Note: This space is not meant for banner ads or other promotions. Please don't use content that is commercial, promotional, copyright-infringing or already in use on other people's covers."
The exact reason why cover photos are disappearing is a mystery.
"It could be due to a copyright violation or that the photo was deemed too 'promotional.' Although Facebook removes the photo from the cover position, it doesn't actually delete the photo itself," according to Mashable.com. "When asked if there was some kind of crackdown going on, a Facebook spokesperson told Mashable via email that Facebook's policies regarding photos and cover photos haven't changed."
The cover photo on the North Canton Facebook page hasn't disappeared. Did you notice if yours was missing?

An easy way to protect the car seat from all the surprises your little nipper may have in store... never again will you have to worry about the bits of this and that that seem to thrive and multiply in the bottom of the seat…whilst the fast wicking fleece insert will make light work of soaking up any unexpected accidents!
Designed to fit most car seats with a 5 point harness, it simply sits in the base of the seat. It is waterproof and stain resistant and the fleece insert is removable, so the main cover can stay in place to protect from any little accidents. It's easy to care for as all materials are machine washable (at 40 degrees) and quick drying so it can be back in use in no time. It can also be used in your stroller or high chair.
Really nice product, comfortable for our toddler to sit on and very attractive looking.
Nice size for my maxi cosi priory car seat for 9mths-4 years. I was expecting more bulk for accidents as it is, the little fleece liner is quite small but actually does the job. I just wish the colours were better - I went for purple but would have preferred black to match my car seat. That's just me though.
Very easy to put in and take out. Keeps the car seat protected from bits of food and wet messes. Little girl thinks it's very special. Stops me worrying about getting the car seat dry if we have accidents whilst potty training

You always hear that the market values growth above all else.
The idea is that these so-called growth companies will command big premiums with investors willing to pay more for the promise of future returns.
But how can you tell if a stock is, in fact, a growth stock.
(Having trouble viewing the video? Click here!)
Use basic algebra, says Cramer - that's how to tell.
Here's how to do it:
"The share price, P, equals the earnings per share, E, times what's known as the multiple, M," Cramer said
In other words, "E times M equals P.
"The multiple is the key, it tells us what investors are willing to fork over for a company's future earnings. And the most important factor influencing multiple is the company's growth rate. The Street will pay a bigger multiple for businesses with faster growth because that growth means the earnings will get larger and larger in the years ahead."
Now as you're attempting to determine if you're a buyer or not - Cramer said apply this simple rule.
"A stock can trade up to a multiple that's as high as twice the long-term growth rate before it gets too expensive for me," he said.
That means if a company is growing its earnings per share at a 20% clip, its stock could potentially trade as high as 40 times earnings and Cramer would still be a buyer.
However, if you hold a growth stock, Cramer says it's important to do constant homework.
"You need to watch, like a hawk, the direction the earnings estimates are going," he said, "and whether those estimates are increasing at a faster or slower pace."
As long as they're increasing at a faster rate, the market will pay the premium for the growth.
But - when they start to slow, the Street will turn it's back.
"When that happens and it always happens - that is, when growth begins to decelerate, then the stock could go SPLAT! It's like driving a fast car right into a brick wall."
In other words, the moment a growth company stumbles the stock can fall faster than you could imagine.

5 Things That Should Be in Your Portfolio, Now
Company 401(k) Plans - The Dirty Secret
Chipotle may be a good example, a darling of growth investors, it dropped more than a hundred points, losing a quarter of its value in a matter of days, when, in July of 2012, it reported a disappointing quarter that suggested the company might be more vulnerable to economic weakness than previously thought.
Despite the risk, Cramer thinks growth stocks are worth the reward. Often times when the market swoons, growth stocks will perform relatively well, because investors are still winning to pay up for growth.
"I feel strongly that to build a portfolio that can work in every kind of market, you need a growth stock in the mix," Cramer said.

Catholic Sharing Appeal kickoff, March 8-9
DIOCESE OF BILOXI – The 2014 Catholic Sharing Appeal will begin the first weekend of Lent.
The theme of this year's campaign – "Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest." – is derived from St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians (6:9).
"Each year through the Catholic Sharing Appeal, we are given the opportunity to respond to St. Paul's exhortation by supporting the many and varied diocesan ministries that do so much good for so many people," said Bishop roger Morin.
"The CSA affords every Catholic family the opportunity to help ease the burdens and suffering of our brothers and sisters who are in need. Many good works are performed because of your acts of charity; many lives are touched because of your generosity to CSA."
Deacon Roberto Jimenez, diocesan director of development said that, since the very first CSA, which was held in 1977, the year of the Diocese of Biloxi's establishment, local Catholics have consistently been generous to the annual appeal.
"The CSA is a way for the people in the pew to assist Bishop Morin in providing support in the areas of Christian education for our youth and seminarians, outreach to the poor and needy, medical subsidies for retired priests, formation and education of permanent deacons, Hispanic Ministry, deaf ministry and communications," said Deacon Jimenez.
"The funds raised through the CSA will be used to support ministries and services that benefit our entire diocese. There are many tasks which require the expertise of individuals and organizations who have dedicated themselves to the needs of others. Thanks to the CSA, the Diocese of Biloxi is able to provide committed experts in a variety of areas that are available to our parish families.
In Fiscal Year 2014, the CSA will fund ministries and programs to the tune of $912,000, which breaks down as follows:
CSA Ministries and Programs
(Fiscal year 2014 Funding)
A. Ministries to Families and the Poor $253,500
(Catholic Social and Community Services)
Administration of Programs $245,000
Pregnancy Care $8,500
Licensed Adoption Services
Disaster Relief and Recovery
Case Management
Respect for Life Programs
B. Ministry to the Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Disabled $84,000
de l'Epee Deaf Center
C. Ministry to the Youth $73,000
D. Ministry of Evangelization $239,900
Diocesan Newspaper, Gulf Pine Catholic $200,000
Catholic Radio Programs $9,500
Support for Mission Parishes $14,000
Sacred Heart Retreat Center $15,000
Lay Ministry $600
Catholic Scouting Programs $800
Hispanic Ministry $12,000
E. Ministry to The Clergy $210,080
Support for Retired Priests $55,080
Help for Incapacitated Clergy $13,500
Continuing Education for Clergy $4,500
Permanent Diaconate Program $53,000
Vocations Program $84,000
F. CSA Program Administration $52,000
In 2013, approximately $135,818.43 was returned to those parishes receiving and collecting pledges over their parish goal.
The Diocese of Biloxi is now providing an online giving opportunity. It is a safe and convenient way to support the CSA. Your gift will help us continue to serve many in the
Diocese and grow our ministry programs.

Housing Benefits and Council Tax Support
Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support Fraud
What is Housing Benefit and Council Council Tax Support Fraud?
Benefit and Council Tax Support fraud is where people claim Housing and Council Tax Support and/or Social Security Benefits but have no right to claim it.
The Council is keen to make prompt payments of Housing and Council Tax Support to genuine claimants, but we are equally keen to stamp out benefit fraud. There is an active Investigation Team that is responsible for the detection and investigation of fraudulent claims.
To view the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) website "Targeting Benefit Thieves"
What types of fraud are there?
Typical examples of benefit and Council Tax Support fraud are:
- People who work but do not declare this when they claim benefits and Council Tax Support.
- People who claim from an address but do not live there.
- People who do not tell us the full amount of income, savings or capital when they claim Housing benefit and Council Tax Support.
- People who for any reason do not have any right to claim Housing Benefit or Council Tax Support.
Does the investigation team have access to other organisations?
The Investigation team has access to various anti-fraud organisations such as:
Local Authority Investigation Officers Group (LAIOG)
Approximately approximately 400 Local Authorities subscribe to the Local Authority Investigations Officers Group across England, Scotland and Wales. The group aims to provide its members with access to information from Parliamentary sources, the Department of Work and Pensions and the Data Protection which is relative to their fraud enquiries. http://www.laiog.org/
National Fraud Initiative 2008/09
Since 1996 the Audit Commission has run the National Fraud Initiative (NFI), a sophisticated data matching exercise which matches electronic date within and between participating bodies to prevent and detect fraud.
This authority is required by law to protect the public funds it administers. It may share information provided to it with other bodies responsible for auditing or administering public funds, in order to prevent and detect fraud.
The Audit Commission appoints the auditor to audit the accounts of this authority. It is also responsible for carrying out data matching exercises.
Data Matching involves comparing computer records held by one body against other computer records held by the same or another body to see how far they match. This is usually personal information. Computerised data matching allows fraudulent claims and payments to be identified. Where a match is found it indicates that there is an inconsistency which requires further investigation. No assumption can be made as to whether there is fraud, error or other explanation until an investigation is carried out.
The Audit Commission currently requires us to participate in a data matching exercise to assist in the prevention and detection of fraud. The Audit Commission requires this authority to provide information it holds for this purpose. We are required to provide particular sets of data to the Audit Commission for matching for each exercise and these are set out in the Audit Commission's guidance, which can be found at www.audit-commission.gov.uk/nfi.
The use of data by the Audit Commission in a data matching exercise is carried out with statutory authority under its powers in Part 2A of the Audit Commission Act 1998.
It does not require the consent of the individuals concerned under the Data Protection Act 1998.
Data matching by the Audit Commission is subject to a Code of Practice. This may be found at www.audit-commission.gov.uk/nfi.
For Further information on the Audit Commission's legal powers and the reasons why it matches particular information, see http://www.audit-commission.gov.uk/nfi/. For further information on data matching at this authority contact email@example.com or telephone 01200 414453.
National Anti Fraud Network (NAFN)
The aim of the network is to make available a national intelligence service to assist in deterring, detecting and preventing fraud. It also aims to provide a regular source of intelligence and focal points for Local Authorities on a wide range of fraud related matters.
Loss of benefits
The rules around loss of benefit entitlement following a benefit fraud offence changed and came into effect on 1 April 2010.
If you commit an offence for the first time resulting in a conviction, administrative penalty or caution, it will be subject to a 'One Strike' sanction. This means you could lose your right to continue receiving benefit payments for a four-week period. You will be notified if the 'One Strike' sanction is applied to your benefits. If you are convicted of two separate benefit fraud offences within five years, you may find your entitlement to certain benefits is reduced or withdrawn for an even longer period. This is known as the 'Two Strikes' sanction, and you'll be notified if it's applied to your benefits.
Sanctionable benefits
Benefits which can be withdrawn or reduced are called sanctionable benefits. These include but are not limited to:
- Employment and Support Allowance
- Housing Benefit
- Incapacity Benefit
- Income Support
- Jobseeker's Allowance
- Pension Credit
Disqualifying benefits
Disqualifying benefits are not sanctionable themselves, but benefit fraud offences involving them may lead to a loss of benefit sanction against other benefits. These disqualifying benefits include:
- Attendance Allowance
- Child Benefit
- Disability Living Allowance
- Retirement Pension
Some benefits, such as Tax Credits and Statutory Sick Pay, are not involved in the 'loss of benefit' sanction process at all.
If you are facing prosecution for benefit fraud or being asked to pay a penalty as an alternative to prosecution, it's a good idea to seek legal advice from a solicitor, or consult an experienced adviser. The Council cannot provide you legal advice or recommend a solicitor to you.
You can get advice from;
Lancashire County Council Welfare Rights Service
The Globe Centre
St James Square
Phone 0845 053 0013
19 Wesleyan Row
Phone 01200 428966
Report Benefit Fraud
To report suspected fraud, you can ring the benefit fraud hotline on 01200 414465 where a trained member of staff will take any information you can provide. Calls are treated in absolute confidence. You can also ring the National Benefit Fraud Hotline on 0800 854 440 which is a free phone number. Or, you can complete the online Benefit Fraud Report Form
