If you are a customer of Ditata's Granite who has lost money, I truly feel for you! With them filing for bankruptcy, it is not looking good in regards to you seeing your money. But I want to pass along all the information I have in case you want to try everything possible to recover it.
As I mentioned, they filed bankruptcy. The way this works is they will have to go before a trustee and answer to the debt that they have. If you're owed money there is a list of creditors (probably with your name on it). Click here to see the current list as of February 11th. That will be brought up in court. If your name is not on the list, here's what to do:
The bankruptcy court has a form called "Proof of Claim". You need to fill it out. Click here to access it.
You can then print it off and mail it, along with statements showing what is owed to:
US. Bankruptcy Court
Western District of Oklahoma
215 Dean McGee Ave. room 147
Questions? Their main number is 405.609.5700 Also, click here to be taken to their website.
You may also want to attend the bankruptcy hearing for creditors. Currently it is scheduled for March 2 at 4pm on the first floor, room 119 at 215 Dean McGee Avenue in OKlahoma City. As it gets closer, call the Western District's Bankruptcy Court at 405-609-5700 to double check on dates and times.
Ditata's attorney also brought up something that's new to me. He says by federal bankruptcy law, even if his clients could, they're not allowed to give money back to clients. He says that's considered preferential treatment if you have more than 1 creditor. He also says the law states that anyone who was paid back within the 90 days prior to filing for bankruptcy is at risk of having the court require them to return the money to the trustee so that it can be distributed equally.
Sound like your out of luck??? Maybe not. We interviewed our legal analyst Irven Box. If you think this company, or any company knew what they were doing when they took your money - in other words, committed fraud - listen to his interview by clicking here. He gives some great advice.
And we need to give thanks again to Northwest Building Supply. They are locally owned (in business for 25 years), have an A with the BBB, and are the largest granite shops in the state. They are helping some of the victims out by giving and installing granite countertops! THANK YOU NORTHWEST BUILDING SUPPLY!

As previously mention, today's post will talk about the Fall Castor Oil Challenge that is currently going on in the natural hair community. Janelle from KinkyCurlyCoilyMe.com is conducting a Castor Oil Challenge this fall. If you're familiar with this challenge unlike me, then you'll know Janelle also conducted a Spring and Summer Castor Oil Challenge. I've seen a few pictures of some of the women who participated in the challenge, and their growth is undeniable! So, I am happy to say, I will be participating in this challenge as well!
I found out about this challenge through my fellow kinky gal and St. John's Alumni over at curlsandmo.com. Unfortunately, I found out too late and missed the deadline for registration, which was September 7, 2012. But, that's not going to stop little ole me from participating in a challenge that consist of one of my favorite oils! The Castor Oil Challenge is going to run from September 1 – December 1, 2012. Seeing how I didn't start the challenge until Saturday the 8th, I will just conclude my challenge on December 8, 2012 and display my end results right here for all my kinky gals to see! If there are a few ladies that did not know about this challenge or would like to participate with me despite missing the registration, let's do this! :-) You can use regular Castor Oil (which you can find in any Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid or Walmart just to name a few) or you can use Jamaican Black Castor Oil. I am going to continue to use my Jamaican Black Castor Oil (I bought mine off of Ebay). I can't wait to see our results after this 3 month period!
Here is the challenge goal:
The goal of is this challenge is to grow your hair thick & long over a 3 month period. While we understand that your hair will not grow to waist length in 3 months, we know that with consistent use of castor oil you WILL reap great benefits. This challenge is our way of motivating you to partake in a routine healthy hair regimen using castor oil and we hope that you will be motivated enough to continue this regimen after the challenge.
Sign me up! Oh yeah, I already missed that lol.
For more information about the Fall Castor Oil Challenge and to see Janelle's results click here.
Are you already participating in the Castor Oil Challenge? Have you used Castor Oil before? Do you prefer regular Castor Oil or Jamaican Black Castor Oil?

The Standfast Portable floor is heavy-duty flooring designed to be extremely hard-wearing for use in a studio or as a theatre stage floor. It can also be used for ballet, contemporary, jazz, and all percussive dances. Like the original Standfast, this version is a calendared vinyl dance floor consisting of a complex "sandwich" design, providing a slip-resistant surface on the performance side. It controls friction, so no rosin is needed, and it is extremely durable. Harlequin states that it has a silky and warm feel that dancers prefer and recommends the floor for either portable or permanent installations.

Crossbridge Christian Church has traveled all around the country helping people affected by natural disasters. Now it's time for them to mend the broken hearts in Moore, Okla.
Friday night they met for one final check-in: water was stacked and ready to go, safety gear was packed up and the group already had on their red disaster response shirts.
"What's awesome is that people don't say are you going? But their questions were, when are you going and how can I help?" Team Leader Vern Schulte said.
Although the city has come a long way since the EF-4 tornado rolled through Moore nearly a month ago, there is still a long way to go. The Crossbridge group is preparing for the worst.
"Expecting to see just complete and total devastation. Which is why we're going because our church has always talked about setting things right one heart at a time and this is a place that needs to be set right," Lindsey Mueller said.
There's a personal connection for the disaster response team this time around. The church's pastor has family in Oklahoma City. Luckily, none of them were injured or had property destroyed but Mother Nature hit a little too close to home.
"Trying to remember that God is there for them. Remembering that we're there helping them and helping them get through this and they're not on their own," Amanda Albers said.
So they rounded up a small team and changed course - instead of heading to Colorado as originally planned the group is heading south. They hope to bring comfort and prayers to a city and a state whose pain has been felt by everyone.
The group leaves Saturday morning and will stay a week in Moore. They've already planned two more disaster relief trips to Oklahoma; one in July and one in August.

Fashion that's fair to people and planet
12:00pm Saturday 10th November 2012 in News
ASHLEIGH Kent-Stallwood demonstrated how to create a rug using bits of old clothes at an ethical fashion fair.
The 20-year-old from Eynsham-based Groundwork Green Schools, also showed visitors to the free fair at Oxford Town Hall on Thursday how to customise T-shirts.
She said: "It is made from cut up pieces from old T-shirts.
"It is a way of recycling the clothes rather than it going to landfill."
Other stalls at the fair, organised as part of Oxford Fashion Week which ends today, demonstrated ethical fashion.
Fashion Week ends tonight with a sold-out Haute Couture Show at the Ashmolean Museum.

Kickoff the season in San Juan Mountain fashion
Date posted: 2011/12/01
Regional ski resorts got the bullwheels rolling last week and got skiers and riders lapping up groomers.This weekend take a break from the groomed and try advanced, ungroomed terrain at our neighboring Silverton Mountain ski area. Opening day is Saturday and is followed by Silverton Mountain and Venture Snowboard's famous kickoff party at the Grand Imperial in Silverton. They're hosting live music, door prizes and a raffle for Venture's limited edition Ska Brewing Euphoria board.
Silverton Mountain plans to open 30 of its advanced runs with a 30-40 inch base already in place. Word is the north shots are skiing really well.

Our Community is the place where people who live in the Santa Clarita Valley can share their stories – and we publish them - giving the community a voice.
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - A Delaware bankruptcy judge on Friday ordered a competitive auction for the assets of Fisker Automotive, rejecting a proposal by a group led by Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li to assume control of the failed electric auto manufacturer in a private sale.
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Celebrities, businesses and even the U.S. State Department have bought bogus Facebook likes, Twitter followers or YouTube viewers from offshore "click farms," where workers tap, tap, tap the thumbs up button, view videos or retweet comments to inflate social media numbers.
The National Weather Service today issued a fire weather watch for the Santa Clarita Valley and surrounding areas for more Santa Ana winds and continued high fire danger from Sunday night through Wednesday morning.
NEW DELHI (AP) - The United States said Friday it was withdrawing a diplomat from India in hopes it would end a bitter dispute that started with the arrest and strip search of an Indian diplomat in New York.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Republican-led House voted overwhelmingly Friday to bolt new security requirements onto President Barack Obama's health care law, with 67 Democrats breaking ranks to join with the GOP. It was the first skirmish of what is certain to be a long and contentious election-year fight.
Santa Clarita was listed in the top 20 best cities in the state for job seekers by a consumer advocacy website.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Students at the U.S. military academies often believe they have to put up with sexist and offensive behavior, according to a Pentagon report released Friday, reflecting a culture of disrespect that permeates the schools and their sports teams and fuels reports of sexual harassment and assaults.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The weakest month of hiring in three years ended 2013 on a sluggish note and raised questions about whether the U.S. job market can sustain its recent strong gains.
NEW YORK (AP) - Target says that personal information - including phone numbers and email and mailing addresses - was stolen from as many as 70 million customers in its pre-Christmas data breach. That was substantially more customers than Target had previously said were affected.
There are two things all Californians can agree on regardless of age, race, gender, religion or political persuasion – job growth and a healthy environment. Fortunately, we are blessed with a single answer to both problems right under our collective noses, or rather feet. The solution to both problems is hydraulic fracturing aka; Fracking.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Nick Johnson scored 22 points and No. 1 Arizona withstood UCLA's late 15-1 run to beat the Bruins 79-75 Thursday night, equaling the best start in school history at 16-0.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Teemu Selanne scored the go-ahead goal late in the second period, and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Nashville Predators 4-3 Thursday night for their fifth straight win and 15th in 16 games.
A child was airlifted from Central Park in Saugus Thursday night after falling off a trampoline, according to an official with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
This summer, the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce will host the third annual Patriot Luncheon on July 11 at the Hyatt Regency Valencia.
Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich will address the Santa Clarita Valley business and community leaders on May 1 at the fifth annual State of the County Luncheon.
We all know that perception often influences our decisions, yet we catch ourselves and become reminded that what we perceive isn't always what's really going on. With the constant barrage of information available in today's 24/7 world, it's important to not get caught up in the day-to-day market volatility and news headlines. That daily hype doesn't always dovetail with what Wells Fargo Advisors top strategists are observing in the financial marketplace.

Top 9 Kids' Room Themes
When you're faced with a decorating project that starts and ends with a child's room, there's nothing like a theme to bring the space together. "Marine life is a favorite for both sexes, while boys are more likely to prefer boats, cars, trucks, construction equipment or favorite superheroes," says Jane Par, professional home decorator in Palm City, Fla. "Girls go for princess themes, the latest cartoon hero character, wild colors, flowers or cuddly stuffed animals."
While it might sound a bit kitschy to you, Par says, "Go with it! Even a 3-year-old can tell you what works for them! Anything 'Dora' works for my own 3-year-old granddaughter, so her decor takes off from the character, then the colors and then the 'explorer' aspect of Dora." Here are a few more themes to consider.
Fairy Garden
Take a standard floral theme, add a little magic and you've got a whimsical fairy garden. String tiny fairy dolls from the ceiling, add layers of organza curtains with faux blossoms hot-glued onto them and, of course, plenty of non-toxic, flowering houseplants. Place fluffy pastel-colored pillows in a corner with a mushroom mural painting, and you've got a woodland reading nook. Use wicker baskets for storage, hot glue polished creek pebbles to furniture frames and paint the walls in shades of warm honey yellow, moss green and light violet.
Medieval Castle
Maybe it's all the classic fairy tales, but a medieval castle just seems to capture a child's imagination. Use cardboard cut in a castle shape to create a noble headboard, which can be covered in fabric or painted. Apply crown molding and velvet fabric in deep jewel tones. For a faire princess, add a gold-framed mirror and maybe even a majestic vanity table with a chair covered in royal purple fabric and tied with a gold tassel.
Mod Squad
Give a retro chic look with a '60s-inspired mod room. Go with sleek white furniture and add bursts of rich color on accessories like throw rugs, lamps and art. Colors like lime green, fuchsia and black add a good contrast to the shiny modern look. Don't forget to include plenty of "pop" art on the walls.
Rope in a vintage cowboy look with denim and off-white cotton fabrics, black-and-white framed cowboy pictures and '50s-style Western vintage prints. Decorate with authentic-looking cowboy gear, like a rope affixed to the wall, a flea market saddle or a country guitar. Add a fluffy, cream shag throw rug for softness and some touches of ultra-suede or leather to complete the look.
Luxurious and Lavish
If your tween daughter is too old for a "themed" room, remember that luxury doesn't have to be costly. Try these suggestions:
- Buy an overstuffed synthetic comforter (cheaper and less allergic than natural down), and make a simple duvet out of a sumptuous-feeling fabric.
- Raise the bed to heighten the drama, and add tons of pillows.
- Use sophisticated, subtle lighting, and add a few oriental throw rugs to cover the standard wall-to-wall carpeting.
- Squeeze in a sitting area, with a small love seat or club chairs and coffee table/ottoman with an elegant gold serving tray. These pieces can be purchased at a second-hand store or furniture clearance center.
- Paint large diamond shapes on the walls in coordinating colors like light blue and purple.
Hippie Chic
Get the bohemian look by including lots of tassels and textures. Drape sheer colorful fabrics over curtain rods. Combine elements like a beaded curtain, lantern lights, satin beaded pillows in rich colors and tapestry hangings to be used as wall hangings, room dividers, sofa covers and more.
"I wanted a gender-neutral décor, not pastels or primary colors," says Maureen Zappala of Hinckley, Ohio. "I went with secondary jewel tones in a tropical jungle theme. I found some great fabric with green background and bright animals and tropical plants in fuchsia, teal, golden yellow, royal purple. There were monkeys, elephants, toucans, butterflies, flamingos, lions and palm trees. I made the crib bedding and a simple valance from the fabric, and covered a lampshade with it as well. Then, to finish the room, I painted and stamped a vine with leaves along the wall near the ceiling like a border." Zappala also used hand-me-down cherry wood furniture, to give the room a classic touch. This theme also works great if a brother and sister share a room.
Zen Garden
Provide a tranquil retreat for your child with an Asian-inspired room. Keep furniture sparse, and use simple designs, like a platform bed and tatami (pillows with low coffee table) seating area. Include a shoji screen and paper lanterns, maybe even a meditative rock and sand garden on a shelf or an aquarium with koi. A sea grass mat provides the perfect area rug.
Cool Schoolhouse
Shirley Kempke, of Sanford, Fla., came up with a unique theme, thinking back to her childhood days for inspiration. "I have a granddaughter and grandson, and wanted their room to be designed for both," she says. "I decorated the entire room in an old schoolhouse look. First, I used a plaid neutral spread and window treatments. I framed a large map on the wall, bought an old-fashioned chalkboard online and added framed photos from the 1950s of classroom photos from my husband and me. We even framed our old report cards and Scout stuff. The room is adorable. I also have a vintage schoolroom desk in there. For nightstands, I bought metal trunks that look a lot like lockers. It's a fun room."

Anacondans are snakelike beings with two expressive eyes and a large mouth, completely sentient.
Lotho Minor
Known also as the Junk World, Lotho Minor is one of the galaxy's dumping grounds. The surface of the planet is covered with refuse, piled over countless generations so that enormous heaps of trash stand as tall as mountains. As the ancient maxim goes, one being's refuse is another's treasure: salvage operations dig through the planet-wide junkyard, looking to reclaim and recondition reusable or obsolete machinery. Huge pools of toxic sludge and the periodic bursts of acid rain make the ruined ecosystem one of the most dangerous in the galaxy.
Savage Opress
Savage Opress was once a common Nightbrother whose fighting prowess impressed Asajj Ventress. Transformed into a monstrous warrior by Mother Talzin, Opress became Count Dooku's new assassin and secret Sith apprentice. His loyalty, however, remained to Talzin. The Nightsisters leader gave Savage a new quest: to find his brother, Darth Maul, who had somehow survived his apparent death and was living in exile in the Outer Rim.
Darth Maul
A deadly, agile Sith Lord trained by the evil Darth Sidious, Darth Maul was a formidable warrior and scheming mastermind. He wielded an intimidating double-bladed lightsaber and fought with a menacing ferocity. Though he fell in battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Zabrak from Dathomir would prove to be much harder to destroy than originally believed.
No one is quite sure of the origins of the mysterious natives of Lotho Minor, the Junkers. The planet's role as a galactic dumping ground has not encouraged any deep exploration of Junker culture or biology, nor has their violent territoriality. They appear to be a strange hybrid of organic life and mechanical debris. The Junkers live off the scrap found on the planet's surface, augmenting their strange and twisted bodies with cybernetic enhancements. They have lived on Lotho Minor for so long that it is impossible to tell where their bodies end and where the refuse begins.
Lotho Minor has, for time immemorial, been an industrial dumping ground for neighboring worlds. Cargo ships routinely drop holds of refuse onto the planet, caring little as to what would become of it. Immense droids programmed long ago to incinerate the garbage continue to labor amid the mountains of refuse, filling their enormous jaws with scrap and burning it with the flames of their infernal gullets. Those unfortunate to live on Lotho Minor know not of the origins of these crane monsters. The mindless mechanicals are simply known as the fire-breathers.

Lawyers brand Sutton Council's incinerator decision 'unlawful'
Updated 1:26pm Thursday 27th March 2014 in News By Mike Murphy-Pyle, Chief Reporter
Lawyers have branded the council's decision to give the go-ahead to a controversial in incinerator "unlawful".
Lawyers representing Croydon man Shasha Khan have served a letter on Sutton Council saying they believe the council broke the law in giving planning permission for an energy recovery facility (ERF) in Beddington Lane.
The ERF will burn rubbish from Sutton, Croydon, Merton and Kingston and convert it into energy and heat for nearby homes. Planning permission was granted last year and a legal agreement was reached earlier this month meaning - pending a judicial review - the project can now go ahead.
However law firm Deighton Pierece Glynn, which represents campaigner Mr Khan, has sent a letter to the council warning that if it does not withdraw the planning permission it will file for a judicial review
Deighton Pierce Glynn has given the council two weeks to respond to the request.
Mr Khan's solicitor Sue Willman said "We believe Sutton has acted unlawfully.
They have failed to demonstrate the very special circumstances needed to build an incinerator on Metropolitan Open Land which is the London equivalent of Greenbelt.
"Mass burn incineration is an outdated and unsustainable technology and there are major questions about its effect on people's health.
"This case is just one of many which local people are bringing across the UK to stop an army of waste incinerators being built when councils should be focused on cleaner renewable energy and recycling."
Campaigners fear the incinerator will create harmful pollution but the council and the Environment Agency have dismissed the claims, saying any emissions from the plant will fall within acceptable levels.

5. Some of the Cincinnati office IRS workers who were making calls on whether applicants passed the test for receiving tax-exempt status didn't fully grasp the legal distinctions between certain categories. According to the report, the front-line employees "showed a lack of knowledge in the Determinations Unit of what activities are allowed" for tax-exempt organizations.
And here's the one thing we don't know from the IG report: what inspired this effort in the first place. The timeline offered in the appendix of the report shows the heightened scrutiny began in February 2010, before the agency received a deluge of applications in the wake of the Supreme Court's Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision. But the report has blacked out any details in connection with the program's start. So, Tuesday's report raises several important questions, even as it answers others.

Magic Slots
3-Reel Slots with a Bonus Game and a Progressive Jackpot
The object of Magic Slots is to obtain a winning symbol combination by spinning the reels.
To play the game:
Click Bet One, Bet Two or Bet Max (=three) to select the number of coins you wish to wager. You can also bet by clicking on the corresponding column in the wintable (the leftmost column bets one coin, the middle column bets two and the rightmost column bet three coins). The reels start to spin.
If the reels show a winning combination after they stop (along the payline), you win according to the winning table (see the top panel of the machine).
Please note: There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much you're betting on a single payline. The total bet shows how much you're spending in this game round. The payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the coin size, not the line bet. If you get winning combinations on more than one payline, the winnings for each payline are added up.
Bonus Game:
Magic Slots contains a bonus game. To access the bonus game, you have to collect three magic wands, while playing for max bet. In the bonus game, select one of the four hats. You will receive a prize, depending on your selection.
Progressive Jackpot:
Magic Slots has a progressive jackpot as well. A certain percentage of every bet you make goes to the progressive jackpot pool. You win the jackpot if you get three highest rank symbols (the hat and gloves) along the payline, while playing for max bet.

How Does the Fed Funds Rate Affect Treasury Bills?
What happens to Treasury bill yields when interest rates go up? Do they react the same way as bonds?
--Mary Anile-Liberatore
There are two important differences between how interest-rate moves -- by which I mean increases or decreases in the fed funds rate by the Fed -- affect Treasury bill yields, and how they affect other Treasury yields.For one, bill yields are more closely influenced by the fed funds rate. You can rely on them to move up and down with the fed funds rate (or when the Fed is expected to change the rate in the near term). By contrast, the reaction of Treasury note and bond yields to changes in the fed funds rate is sometimes more complicated. This is because bills are short-term instruments, while notes and bonds are intermediate- or long-term instruments. Second, bill yields are much more sensitive to the forces of supply and demand than note and bond yields. Bill yields can swing wildly around the fed funds rate, depending on whether the Treasury Department is issuing more or fewer bills than investors want. "The whole [Treasury] market is very sensitive to supply and demand concerns, but none more so than the bill sector," says Ken Logan, managing analyst at IFR/Thomson Financial. Treasury bills are the shortest-term Treasury issues -- they come in three-month and six-month varieties. The fed funds rate, on the other hand, is the rate at which banks lend one another excess reserves -- reserves they don't need to satisfy capital requirements -- overnight. Treasury bills are more predictably influenced by the fed funds rate than notes and bonds because Treasury bills and the fed funds rate are competing investments in the money market. The money market is the market for high-quality, short-term debt instruments. Just as individuals put uninvested cash into money market mutual funds, where they can earn interest without putting principal at risk, institutional investors for the same purpose invest directly in the money markets by buying instruments like fed funds and Treasury bills. As investments, fed funds and Treasury bills generally offer comparable yields. Note and bond yields are less closely tied to the fed funds rate because their longer maturities (from two to 30 years) mean more can happen during their lifetime. That gives them the potential to undergo big price changes. In general, the longer the maturity of a debt security, the greater the potential price changes.

The 49ers released WR Jason Hill, dropping the former third-round pick who has failed to contribute during his recent time in San Francisco.
Hill had his best year in 2008, when he caught 30 passes and two touchdowns in his second professional season. But he never developed after that, with nine receptions in 2009 and none this year.
The way we see it
The 49ers are essentially cutting dead weight here, as Hill was not making any contribution to the team. It will be interesting to see how they fill his spot on the 53-man roster.

When the New York Giants beat the New York Jets earlier in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, the Philadelphia Eagles were eliminated from the playoffs. The lone, farfetched scenarious that would have allowed the 6-8 Eagles to sneak into the playoffs involved the Jets beating their crosstown rivals, which they failed (miserably) to do.
That hasn't seemed to faze the Eagles, however, who have dominated the Cowboys from the opening bell, including injuring quarterback Tony Romo and knocking him out for the game with an injury to his throwing hand. The Eagles are leading 14-0 thanks to two touchdown passes from Michael Vick; one to Brent Celek, another to Jeremy Maclin. Though it's admirable, it's got to be frustrating for Eagles fans who are wondering where this team has been all season long.
The Cowboys are playing it safe. Regardless of the outcome of this game, the winner of their Week 17 contest against the Giants will win the NFC East and make the playoffs as the NFC's fourth seed. It doesn't matter if Tony Romo is able to return today, as long as he can return on New Year's Day.

The Patriots' offensive, defensive and special-teams players of the week from their Week 13 win over the Colts.
Offense: TE Rob Gronkowski
You would think at this point, someone would find a way to stop Gronk, but he has emerged as one of the league's elite tight ends. Gronkowski had five catches for 64 yards and two touchdowns and a two-yard TD run on a lateral. Gronkowski's 13 TD receptions tie the NFL record for most TD catches by a tight end in a season, and he has four games to set his own record. Honorable mention goes to Wes Welker, who caught all 11 passes thrown his way for 114 yards.
Defense: DT Vince Wilfork
The "D" struggled in the fourth quarter, but played well overall and Wilfork was getting great penetration early on. He finished with a team-high 10 tackles, which is impressive in itself for an interior lineman. Wilfork also recorded a sack. ILB Jerod Mayo had a diving interception and two QB hits.
Special teams: P Zoltan Mesko
On four punts, Mesko had a net average of 41.5 yards and dropped two inside the 20-yard line. He finished with a long of 52 yards and allowed only one return, although it did go for 21 yards.

PHOENIX (AP) - The state Court of Appeals says a former Navajo Nation lawmaker who was paid unemployment benefits after he lost a re-election campaign was ineligible.
The court ruled this week that Bobby Robbins' position as an elected official meant he doesn't qualify for insurance benefits. The decision upheld previous ones from the Arizona Department of Economic Security.
The appeals court says Robbins received $2,160 through no fault of his own.
He was retroactively disqualified from the benefits, and the department issued a determination of overpayment.
Robbins had represented the western Navajo community of Tuba City on the Tribal Council.

The Lane County Parks and Open Space Master Plan is being updated for the first time since 1980. The purpose of this site is to let you know how to participate and to keep you informed.
Click here for an overview of the project .
This web site will be updated as new information is available.
Last Update: July 9, 2009
Several draft chapters of the Parks and Open Space Master Plan are now available. Please click here to review them.
Public Involvement Plan Project Time Line Where We Are in the Process
All documents currently available from this site may be viewed from the following links:
Lane County Owned, Leased, and Maintained Parks List
Draft Maps & Inventory Spreadsheets
Draft Chapters and Appendices
P o s iti ve Yo ut hDev el op ment Me et in gPi ct ur es!
The Public Involvement Plan was approved in November, 2004, by the Lane County Parks Advisory Committee (PAC) and the Lane County Planning Commission (PC). Click hereto see the PIP.
Last Update: July 9, 2009
In the past two years, it has been difficult to staff the County Parks Master Plan update. The draft is almost complete and there is currently one staff person working part time to take it to the finish line. We will update this time line once there is more certainty about the time line. Thank you for your interest and patience.
Fall '04
Lane County Parks Division held a staff Visioning Retreat in October 2004, to evaluate long range needs, issues, and goals for the County Parks system. As the personnel directly responsible for the County Parks system, Parks staff are an invaluable source of information that is critical in developing the Master Plan update. Results of that meeting will be a part of the public record.
Winter '04 -'05
Outreach to Focus Groups
Initial contact with key interests, or focus groups, occurred over four months, from January through April, 2005. Parks Division Manager Todd Winter attended most of the 18 meetings. Organizations and individuals we met with included watershed councils, youth groups, federal, state, and city agency representatives and committees, nonprofit groups, and private sand & gravel producers who operate near park lands.
Outreach also included postcards, letters, and electronic mailings to approximately 1500 park users who reserved picnic areas, campgrounds, moorages, or participated in Park events; Lane County incorporated city councilors, city agency staff, chambers of commerce, service clubs, park hosts, concessionaries, caretakers, recreational businesses, and nonprofit organizations with an interest in land use, recreation, natural resources, and government.
We received hundreds of comments from meeting participants, and in completed questionnaires, surveys, and other written comments. These comments will be invaluable in writing the first draft of the Master Plan. Everyone who requested to be notified, and everyone who submitted comments and included their address will receive direct notice when the first draft is available for review.
Winter '05-?
Produce First Parks and Open Space Master Plan Draft
This is where we are in the process right now.
Several draft chapters have been completed and are ready for your review . . .
Cick here to see chapters and appendices draft so far.
A Master Plan Technical Advisory Committee, and the County Parks Advisory Committee are being consulted in developing the first draft. Notice of release of the first draft will be mailed to people who request to be on the mailing list and who submit written comments. The draft will be available on the Internet and in hard copy form. Individual copies will be made available to purchase at cost. If you wish to be on the mailing list to receive the notice, contact information is at the end of this web page. All public comments received at meetings and in writing will be published, summarized, addressed in writing, and included in the public record.
Next Steps . . .
Estimated Time To Be Announced ...
Writ ten comments on the 1st draft taken and considered
After the first draft update is published, additional comments will be taken for approximately 3 weeks up to a date specified in a notice mailed to the mailing list and published on this web site. Comments received up to that date will be considered in making additional changes to the document. All comments will be published, summarized and addressed in writing.
Once all public comments on the first draft are reviewed and addressed in writing, official public hearings will take place.
Estimated Time To Be Announced
Begin Adoption Process
The Parks Master Plan update is an amendment, or change, to the County Comprehensive Plan. To make the change official, a public hearing process is required. The process is outlined both in Lane Code Chapter 12 and Chapter 16.400. Lane Code can be viewed by going to the main County web site , www.lanecounty.org. The link to "Lane Code" is on the left side of the web page.
A hearing packet is prepared for appointed and elected officials. In addition to the draft Parks and Open Space Master Plan document, the hearing packet will include a record of all written public comments and how they were handled. All written public comments received before the packet is prepared will be included and addressed in the packet. The packet will be available on the Internet and in hard copy form (at cost), or for viewing at a number of locations.
Parks Advisory Committee and Lane County Planning Commission
The County Parks Advisory Committee (PAC) and Planning Commission (PC) will hold a joint work session, and then a public hearing, to accept testimony about the draft Master Plan. After closing their hearing, both the PAC and PC will hold follow-up work sessions (discussions), and consider the draft Master Plan, along with all public comments in the record up to the close of their hearing. These work sessions are open to the public. The PAC and PC will each make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners as to whether to adopt the Master Plan as proposed by staff, or make changes, based upon the record, (including public comments) and their own discussions. The record from the PAC and PC process is then forwarded to the Board of Commissioners.
Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
In order for the new Master Plan to take effect, the BCC must adopt it by ordinance. The required process to adopt an ordinance is in the Charter for Lane County , Chapter III, Section 18. The Home Charter may be viewed from the main county web site. Find the link for Lane Code on the left side of the web site, www.lanecounty.org. The Home Rule Charter is the first chapter in Lane Code. The BCC will be briefed on the draft plan, process, and record including the results of the PAC and LCPC public hearing and work sessions. Copies of the project record and all written comments will be available to the BCC and to the public. Staff will also summarize all comments in a spreadsheet and state in writing how the comments were handled in development of the draft plan. Any changes that were made to the draft based upon recommendations from the PAC and LCPC will be highlighted in a memo.
In order to adopt the new Master Plan, the BCC must hold its own public hearing. After closing the public hearing and the public record, the BCC will decide whether to adopt the new Master Plan. The BCC can make changes to the Plan or adopt it as written. After any changes are made, the BCC will take action to adopt it. The new Plan will replace the existing 1980 Plan and will become a part of the Lane County Comprehensive Plan.
Finally, the new Master Plan is forwarded to the state Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD). The DLCD will provide notice to the public that the plan was adopted by the County. As long as the state "acknowledges" the Plan, it remains an official part of the County Comprehensive Plan.
Notice of all hearings will be placed on this web site, and in the Legal Notices section of the Eugene Register-Guard and Springfield News. A press release will also be issued.

Parents under pressure
In recent weeks, the San Francisco Unified School District has held a series of community forums to ask parents what they think kids need in order to thrive in school. The meetings were held as part of a policymaking process leading up to next year's renewal of two important funds – the Children's Fund and the Public Education Enrichment Fund, which account for some $100 million in funding combined.
There were huge turnouts – a Chinatown forum, where Mayor Ed Lee was reportedly in attendance, attracted more than 180 participants, while a Nov. 14 meeting at Cesar Chavez Elementary in the Mission District drew a crowd of between 80 and 90.
The parents weren't exactly asking for more museum field trips for their kids. During breakout sessions where facilitators wrote group members' concerns on flip pads, a few recurring themes emerged. "Job security for parents," one read. "Affordable housing," another stated. "It's a shame to have to talk about lack of funds given wealth and corporations in SF," more parent feedback stated.
Maria Su, director of the San Francisco Department of Children, Youth and their Families, thanked parents for coming and told them, "We know how hard it is and how challenging it is to survive in the city. But that doesn't mean we should give up."
The event provided a glimpse into just how tough it is for families to get by in a city where a hefty cost of living amounts to serious pressure. "The sacrifices they make is, their children will have access to resources you can't get anywhere else," said Mario Paz with the Good Samaritan Family Resource Center, who works with a lot of Latino immigrant families.
A report digesting the findings of stakeholder focus groups distilled the pressures facing families. "Many participants commented on … the extraordinarily high cost of living in San Francisco," it noted, which "contributes to both financial and emotional strain on the part of our many working class and lower income residents."
them to go to rather than the school that some faceless city bureaucrat thinks they should go to.
Losing bussing would be a great start.
Your comment makes no sense. Something like 1/4 of the incoming Kindergartners put down Rooftop. Rooftop doesn't have room for 2000 kids. Not everyone can have what they want.
sent long distances to bad schools.
At the very least, the allocated school should be close, even if not the best or the parents' first choice.
The current system smacks of ideological bias and is only a couple of steps from race-based bussing.
San Francisco used to have a neighborhood based school system. It led to segregated schools because our neighborhoods were segregated. A judged ruled that discriminatory and forced SFUSD to come up with a different plan, which included bussing. Over time we moved to this one instead, which still includes a bit of bussing.
Our neighborhoods are still segregated. Are you arguing for segregated schools?
The Federal Government still won't let us do that, even if you could convince most San Franciscans that it was a good idea.
I do think that most parents I know agree with you though.
bit as race-based as the "segregation" which you claim.
SF neighborhoods are not segregated at all, but certain ethnic groups prefer certain neighborhoods e.h. Hispanics in the Mission, Chinese in ChinaTown and so on.
We should not be second-guessing peoples' race from where they live.
You have argued continually about the self-segregation of San Francisco neighborhoods. Now that narrative doesn't support your argument against school integration, so you change your tune and redefine your terms.
Another loss on the ledger.
Yes, people self-segregate themselves in Sf.
Yes, parents should be attend their local school, not just because of cultural ease, but because of commuting and safety issues.
No, I do not think we should be bussing my kids across town to some place they are not familiar with and do not like. If I had wanted my kids to go to school in Bayview, I would have bought a house there.
You may not agree with my views, but they are certainly not mutually inconsistent or contradictory.
I don't think it's inconsistent. I just disagree.
I understand. You want what you think is best for YOU. And that means sending your kid to a school that's A) Good, B) close, and C) where your kids won't have to mingle with "those" people.
Lots of people want what's best for themselves. It's perfectly natural. But what you need to understand is that policy-makers need to do what's best for *everyone* -the whole society. And segregation is wrong. Hence the federal government enforces Supreme Court-ordered desegregation plans. There are tweaks that can be made. The lottery itself is one of those tweaks. And it works pretty well. 85% of parents get one of their top 3 choices. But if you want to scrap the whole thing and go back to pre-1954, sorry but you're SOL. Take it up with Thurgood Marshall.
What you call "segregation" results from individual preferences, and not just those of white bogeymen. Black people prefer to live in black neighborhoods. Latinos prefer to live in Latino neighborhoods. Comparing it to forced, legal segregation is intellectually dishonest.
Take it up with the Supreme Court.
And of course they outlawed forced segregation in schools.
But they do not ban an all-white school if it is a neighborhood school in an all-white neighborhood.
So SF could have purely local schools without breaking any sanctimonious federal imperative.
They're sad because they were born a few decades too late. They long for the days of Governor Wallace and Jesse Helms, but those days are gone forever.
Valley in any way racist against anyone?
Wallace supported state sanctioned segregation, he also supported racialist policies.
No one here is supporting state sanctioned segregation, and the people who support racialist policies are progressives.
It permeates and pollutes their thinking.
1) Identify a classification system that suits your ideological bias, e.g. race, income etc.
2) Classify people according to that bias using stereotypes
3) Hate on the class you don't like i.e. practice class warfare
It's really quite simple.
a big euphemism for "I don't want my kids to go to school with black and brown kids."
But not OK to send their kids to school there?
is always racist, or classist.
Other people have world views that might have them wanting their kids going to an area school for various reasons, such as they don't want there kid getting up at the crack of dawn to take three MUNI buses across town to go to school.
Progressives have world views that they know how society should be reorganized, this world view has anyone who doesn't agree with them being a racist or a classist.
Progressives also claim an intellectual acumen that has them proclaiming their own intellectual acumen, they are in love with the idea that they have the ideas.
When faced with counter positions the reason for the counter position must be that the other side is working from a base level, not an intellectual one, because "progressives" have a corner on the intellectualism.
If they fear economic and ethnic diversity so much that they want special treatment for their kids, then let's see a wealth surtax on parents of school age children to equitably finance education so that all kids get an equal investment in their education.
That would not be fair to those parents who might pay too much? Boo fucking hoo, 2/3 of all San Francisco families are childless and gladly pay taxes to finance education of which our families take no direct advantage already because it is the right thing to do.
Good luck with that one.
Although it does explain your politics, since why would you care about the future if you have no kids?
Per-pupil spending favors black students over white students. But you love the idea of new taxes that you don't have to pay.
Well, if the Heritage Foundation says so, then who am I to argue with the architects of Obamacare and Romneycare?
As we expected.
You're appealing to an authority that neither liberals nor conservatives trust.
listening to.
Foundation has to say, but then the kooky studies and operations cited in this forum and "newspaper"...
The US spends more per student than almost any other country in the world.
Mostly and predictably because it is a public sector activity, so employee costs are far higher and productivity lower.
We really need to privatize schools and then just give people vouchers to help them pay the fees. ObamaCare for public schools would have been something I could have gotten behind far more than with healthcare.
"Teachers' salaries represent the largest single cost in formal education and have a direct impact on the attractiveness of the teaching profession," the report states. "Since compensation and working conditions are important for attracting, developing and retaining skilled and high-quality teachers, policy makers should carefully consider teachers' salaries as they try to ensure both quality teaching and sustainable education budgets."
I am glad to see that you agree that teacher's salaries need to go up.
when they ridiculous pensions are taken into account.
Finland spends about half what we do per pupil and tops world PISA scores. Throwing money at the problem isn't working for us.
Apparently it's one of the hardest languages to learn.
There is a pretty strong correlation between what states spend on students and what their test scores are:
It is not absolute, Utah for example is an obvious outlier. But it is pretty strong: you spend more and you get more, at least in the Unites States.
There are some things that we might be able to adopt from Finland, but I don't think that it is a very similar situation to the United States. Mississippi and New York are much more like California than either is like Finland.
So black and brown people who don't want to send their kids to a black school are racist?
Progressives clownish howls of racism are so comical.
When they can't really cope with input they just fall back on their racism schtick, the problem is that people appease this child like idiocy and try and reason with a progressive. That of course is not possible when all they have to do is whine out "racism" adding that word to the others they have decontextualized.
"no black family is affluent" or "all Asians are successful".
Thinking in race terms always leads to trouble.
We should treat people as individuals, not as representatives of races. If individuals happen to live in the same neighborhood and attend the same local school, the government should not be in the business of micromanaging them based on their perceived "race."
You cannot detect it reliably from DNA, and people are becoming more mixed all the time. Again, people lie about their ethnicity to get a better deal.
Maybe everyone should enter their childrens' race as "black", under the one-drop rule, and then schools could simply be assigned by residential address.
Is that your claim? That no one is discriminated on the basis of race? Because if you do claim that, you are pretty seriously out to lunch.
The only people I have heard make that claim are white people. I guess if you swim in privilege you don't even notice it.
non whites are more racist than whites these days
"A judged ruled that discriminatory and forced SFUSD to come up with a different plan, which included bussing. "
You are actually just about exactly wrong. I know the BG has pretty low standards, but you really should do the basic homework before posting something on a public forum and making yourself look silly.
If you care:
In what way that does that wikipedia article contradict what I said? I think you are confused here, that Wikipedia article is kind of thin gruel. Here is a better link:
Click on the
" In 1983, an agreement was reached between the NAACP and the San Francisco Unified School District. Under the consent decree, no racial group could constitute more than 40 or 45 percent of the enrollment at any given school. Moreover, each school was required to have admit students from at least four out of nine ethnic groups.
The consent decree allowed desegregation by voluntary busing and enforced racial and ethnic diversity in San Francisco schools for the first time, but it also limited who could attend the city's top-performing schools and determined who would attend the city's lower-performing schools."
Read the background essay. I already linked to the court ruling in another part of the discussion, it is worth reading as well, if a bit dry.
By forcing families into the lottery system and sending kids to schools in far away neighborhoods, San Francisco is creating a hardship for everyone and preventing parents from strengthening theirs schools/communities LOCALLY from the inside out. It's a backwards and failing system. Much like Obamacare, it needs to be sent to the scrap heap.
The system can perhaps be (and has been) tweaked to incorporate some activists' demands, but doing away with it has been put up to a vote and rejected. The people have spoken.
I don't disagree with you in fact I am in favor of desegregation. But I don't remember a vote on this, when did that happen?
Prop... B? I believe. The "neighborhood schools" crowd put it on the ballot themselves, thinking it would be a winner at the polls. Did they ever miscalculate!
They also made it an issue in Eric Mar's re-election. David Lee talked about neighborhood schools till he was blue in the face, and made a huge issue out of Mar's support for the lottery when he was on the school board. They misjudged the sentiment of the electorate there as well.
This turkey is DONE.
Maybe it was couched in such obscure terminology that I didn't recognize that was what it was really about.
But I fail to see how anyone could oppose the idea of your kids being able to walk to a school close to their home, and where their friends will all be.
But maybe so many parents who feel that way have gone private that they don't care any more.
You don't have kids, right, Greg? Big difference, because this is just ideology to you, not real life.
And it was November 2011. That's right, the organizers wouldn't be so stupid as to put it on a high turnout election like November 2012.
So my memory is a little faulty on the details. But I clearly remember the substance of it. And the proposition was clear as a bell. There was nothing obscure about it.
And yes, the whole city voted on it. I actually don't think the vote broke down based on parents vs. non-parents. It broke down more East-West. You want an election where only people who think like you do get to vote, but it doesn't work that way. This is a matter of policy, and it affects everyone. Non-parents probably have a clearer view, because they don't have a personal stake in it and they can decide based on the merits of the question.
But like I said, there are some things that really shouldn't be decided by a vote. Segregation is one of those things. Transit policy can be decided by a vote. Planning and zoning are appropriate policies to decide by a vote. But segregation? I don't care how many people vote for segregation. It's still wrong. Fortunately I'm glad that most San Franciscans agree.
