Adachi crosses the line
Former Mayor Willie Brown and Public Defender Jeff Adachi – author of Prop. B, which would require city employees to pay more for their pension and health care costs – yesterday crossed a union picket line at Le Méridien, which is being boycotted by hotel workers with Unite-Here Local 2, to attend a fundraiser for the measure.
San Francisco Labor Council President Tim Paulson called it "such an outrageous thing in San Francisco." Even Sup. Sean Elsbernd, perhaps the most conservative member of the Board of Supervisor, was shocked today when told of Adachi's crossing the line, saying he would have never done so. Local 2 spokesperson Riddhi Mehta told us, "It shows their true colors. By no means are they for working families."
Adachi has been public enemy number one of local labor leaders since he authored the measure with little input from unions or other public officials, and Paulson said this action was emblematic of Adachi's hostility to unions, adding that it was even more surprising to see Brown, a longtime ally of unions, supporting the measure and crossing the line.
"It was not unexpected for Jeff Adachi, with the way he's been acting lately, not caring about labor, but it was a little surprising for Willie Brown considering his career and record," Paulson said.
Adachi told the Guardian that he was unaware at the time that it was a Local 2 picket line. "The honest truth is that when I got there, I thought it was a protest against Prop. B," Adachi said. Yet he also that even if he had know, "I still would have went to the event."
"I completely support the workers' right to strike, but at the same time, I am on a mission to save the city $120 million a year," Adachi told us. "The resources that the opponents are pouring into this are completely unreal."
La Merdien has been on the Local 2 boycott list for several months, and both Paulson and Mehta said the picket was independent of Prop. B, although some SEIU members did show up with signs criticizing the measure. As for scheduling future fundraisers at other boycotted hotels, Adachi told us, "I'll be more mindful of that."
Ah yes, those "working families" with guaranteed pensions and lifetime healthcare. Real working families don't get that or the $130,000 a year City employees average.
Here are some of the AVERAGE wages and benefits earned in the current 2010-2011 budget:
Nurses $174,000
Fire $158,000
Police $155,000
Gardeners $86,000
Janitors $74,000
You folks are fooling no one...and please call the Controller's office on Monday to verify.
I'm a nurse at SF General and I can assure you that those numbers do not reflect my paychecks/benefits or those of my peers.
I can assure you the number is correct. (It includes benefit costs which would not show up on a paycheck. Benefit costs are enormous which is the genesis of Prop B). Feel free to call the Controller's office. Phone: (415) 554-7500.
Checked it. You're wrong. That's not an average for nurses employed by the City, nor an average for nurses citywide. Run your numbers again.
Nurse at SF General "assures you (the reported wages) do not reflect her paycheck/benefits or those of her peers," but didn't offer better numbers. Does she actually make more than what was reported?
A City Gardener's salary tops out at most $59,000. That's a fact. I would be happy to show you my pay stubs.
The Laborer's Union Local 261 stepped and took 12 furlough days this year and we plan to take more. Our pay rate has been frozen forever.
We expect to pay in more to our pensions as well. But for god's sakes man -
you want my family's health care to jump 50% overnight. Thanks.
I can barely support my wife and daughter in this town.
Are you aware of the cost of living in San Francisco?
I am from S.F. and can barely afford to stay here.
I am proud to be the front line of cleaning up our parks and streets - but why don't you show up and clean a heroin den or two, some homeless camps and then cut my health care.
Why can't you help take care of the people who take care of our City?
I hope you see the real picture for people who are earning a modest salary in this town.
I'm a CCSF worker and I only make 51,000 a year I'm a front line worker, maybe nurses,fire,police and other administrator make more than 3 figures a year and they can afford higher health insurance, but I don't even think this prop B includes them, the front line workers are the ones that had been hit really hard with all this cuts and on top of that they still want to take more from us,what are we going to take home.
Adachi and Brown crossed the Local 2 picket line at a hotel. Local 2 does not represent City Employees, it represents hotel workers. They have been trying to get a contract to save their own healthcare coverage.
Of course Prop B should that Adachi doesn't care about anyone's healthcare coverage(except for his own which won't be affected by Prop B). Prop B will double the cost of dependent healthcare for city employees including public school teachers. I don't know how a school teacher is going to be able to afford $5000 a year in healthcare costs but Prop B is going to make that happen if it passes. I guess SF General Hospital will be getting more public employees in the emergency room as patients.
And CJ your salary's for city workers are wrong, no doubt supplied by the Prop B campaign to
run jeff, run. finally, a leader with a backbone, brains and a fearless demeanor who challenges the 'sacred cow' of municipal entitlements. how do i contribute to his mayoral race? without reform, san francisco will become greece within 10 years.
do the math.
Adachi had better run.
You do know, then, that your leader with a backbone makes $198,000 a year and his job and benefits are NOT effected by Prop B? How much of a backbone does it take to push for a Proposition that he himself will be exempt from? Sure he comes off looking like a hero, but he -- as a City employee -- will not make the same sacrifice he is demanding other City employees make.
i do know this, and that is where the fearless demeanor comes in. take a larger view on this. unless we get a handle on these pension indulgence, we can kiss most of the city services now being cut to goodbye status. who else in this city, enjoying their own countdown to comfy retirement, has the guts to make the challenge? debate this on the fiscal merits or lack thereof. if adachi can't stand the heat, he'll wither away. i don't see that happening anytime soon.
198k is a pittance compared to his worth. nate ford, at twice that, is moving on before muni collapses completely with a 'wave of the hand'.
once we do become athens 2018, we'll see who sticks around to defend this place.
i trust your own backbone is in good shape, mr. or mrs. GUEST!
We do have a handle on the pension problem, as Newsom negotiated pension contributions almost as large as Prop B during the last contract negotiations.
All the City had to do was ask.
This is not about cutting costs, this is about a billionaire speculator making a political statement with a his money
Yup, join us and no free lunch on the taxpayer, city workers are bankrupting us.
About time they had to pay in.
Since when are San Francisco's public workers the enemy? They make the city run, they've saved the city $250 M dollars in concessions, they contribute and will contribute more to their pensions; these are the same people who help you everyday.If anything, Prop B is a flawed measure put forward by people who don't give a damn about working people, and who have shifted the blame from the banksters and greedy insurance companies to the people who can least afford it. Wake up and fight back to lift everyone up, because if we don't all work together, we will be ground up and spit out by corporate hucksters and their politician pals, whose only real interest is power...for themselves. The hell with you and me. And don't kid yourself, once their done with city workers, they're coming after the rest of us.
Prop B helps working people in the private sector. (Janitors in the real world don't earn $86,000.) If the City's highly paid employees don't contribute more for their benefits, then working families who receive no such benefits such as guaranteed pensions will see their City services cut and taxes/fees rise. That's a fact- $ has to come from somewhere. The cost of City employee benefits are rising $850 million over the next five years (and that's the Controller's notoriously lowball estimate). The issus is not complicated actually...
CF Flowers
You keep on giving the wrong figures for how much City workers earn. A city janitor does not make $80K a year. These misinformation tactics used by Adachi and the Prop B campaign show that they are trying to dupe San Francisco voters into voting for something for all the wrong reasons. Prop B is about cutting peoples healthcare plain and simple.
My bad- $83,000 for a City janitor average wages and benefits in current 2010-2011 budget. I wrote $86,000.
You know the City has a Sunshine Law. All this info is availble to the public through the Controller's office. If you are truly interested in the topic, I would recommend you call the Controller's office: Phone: (415) 554-7500
When asked about a statistic that showed most U.S. voters didn't support suffrage, Carrie Catt Chapman, President of the National American Suffrage Association, in 1916 said the above quote. I was particularly astounded that the average nurse earns $174,000. If that is the case, as a nurse practitioner, I'm way underpaid after 15 years of service with no significant over-time to show for it, working full-time, 5 days a week and no night time differential. Is that salary posted somewhere and what is the job description? Does that include over-time pay?
But as Carrie Chapman said, "Figures don't lie, but liers figure".
The $174,000 is from the City Controller's office. It includes benefits. Not certain if it includes overtime but I think it does as nurse OT is probably budgeted. City employees are well paid and should contribute more for their benefits as outlined in Prop B.
I'm a nurse, I work for the city... where do I go to pick up that paycheck???
No where close to reality. And once again, if prop B passes, I can't afford $1100 in health for my kids. Can you?
I luv the way City employees react in shock to what they are actually paid. Proves the point. Benefits are very costly and City employees should contribute more.
If they were actually paid them you might have a point.
Next time you pull numbers out of your derriere, at least wash them before posting them.
Absolutely horrible that public employees are paid a salary that approximates the cost of living.
We've got to put an end to such outrages and ensure that all workers are paid much less than the cost of living so that they have to go into hock to survive.
What our economy needs now are massive wage cram downs so that demand is quenched and the economy never recovers. Wall Street is hurting, people.
If billionaire speculators like Michael Moritz paid CJ Flowers to say just the opposite, he's gladly sing for his supper. I bet Flowers is making a living wage for his "services."
Well said, marc.
CJ Flowers is refuses to see there are real people affected by the healthcare component of this Prop. My husband's school's janitor lives in the Tenderloin, I wonder what she is doing with all that extra money? I mean, making $86,000 year, after tenderloin rent, she should still have a good $6K for spending. I wonder why she wears shoes from Payless?
These are facts for teachers: a family of three pays $680 for Kaiser, $950/month for Blue Shield. Teachers, who will be affected even though they do not have a city pension plan, will see their family premium contributions increase from $628 to $750 for Kaiser to over $1K for Blue Shield HMOs. This is DOUBLE the average amount private sector employees pay for family coverage, according to this 2009 study by UC www.irle.berkeley.edu/cwed/wp/healthbenefits10.pdf.
Also recent national study shows that the average employee contribution for health care is 30% of the premium. "For family coverage, workers are paying an average of $3,997, up $482 from last year, while employers are paying an average of $9,773, down $87, according to the survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research & Educational Trust."
My "entitled" family ALREADY pays $8160/year more than DOUBLE the national average.
I also noticed the Prop B site doesn't even have one Q on the FAQ about health care. Poorly worded proposition, mean-spirited, and it makes no dinstinction between top earners and those at the bottom of the pay scale.
CJ, I think you are either paid by Adachi, or mad that your employer does not provide coverage/benefits. This is a real problem in this country, but not the fault of public employers/employees. All workers should have health care -- fight for your right to have it affordably and try to take it away from others who do have it.
Janitors earn $74,000 which I posted correctly at the top, incorrectly responding to a subsequent post. That's City janitors not SFUSD janitors. You seem to be conflating the two. I posted no info for SFUSD.
Speaking of corrections:
You posted a family of three pays $680 for Kaiser - not correct. For teachers (assuming participating in HSS) a family of three currently pays $229 for Kaiser and $546 for Blue Shield. Both premiums would go up $220 a month under Prop B. HSS has posted this info.
The City's health care sytem in currently $4 billion underfunded and the liability is growing at $300 million a year. Seems employees will be contributing more sooner or later. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to pay more, who would.
Serious question: My undertanding is SFUSD teachers are "volunteering" into HSS. So if Prop B passes and the SFUSD believes the new rates are too high - wouldn't they just opt out? As you stated, teachers are not in the pension system.
Then why is $680 deducted from my husband's pay check? Prop B's propaganda lists health care benefits for the City workers with the highest benefits, but only states in a footnote that not all unions have the same deal. TEACHERS ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR ATTACK CAMPAIGN AND WE DO NOT HAVE CITY PENSIONS OR THE SAME BENEFITS. I PAY ALREADY PAY $680 A MONTH AND HAD TO SWITCH TO KAISER TO GET THAT LOW. CHECK IT OUT ON THE UESFD WEBSITE.
I would also assume that District janitors will be included. This is why Prop B is SERIOUSLY FLAWED. You use figures for the highest paid workers, but don't realize it includes all the related workers and unions and not all of them have the same deal. Teachers don't "opt in" to HSS. They have pretty lame health care benefits when compared to my informal survey of friends in the private sector as well as those national studies I quoted. You WILL create collateral damage that WILL hurt working families but just don't want to see it. Re-craft a proposition that will not hurt working families. It could have been done.
Here is the link to the $229 (employee plus two dependents) for Kaiser and $449 under Prop B as provided by the City (page 5):
Can't explain your $680 under Kaiser if you are participating in the City HSS/contradictsCity memo linked.
I understand where you got the figures. My point to you and the public is that all City-related employees will be affected and not all of them pay the amounts shown in the document you posted. Footnote number 1 in Appendix One of the document you linked says: "Specific employee contribution rates vary depending on an employee's union contract." For teachers, the $229=$628. (Earlier typo of $680) Under Prop B, $628 becomes $750. Prop B proponents do not want anyone to know this fact, because these numbers are actually higher than private sector counterparts. Prop B includes school district employees. In an earlier post, I "conflated" city janitors and school janitors, because prop B conflates them--no distinction will be made.
Shows the different classifications of employees, then medical rate info is available for each type as a downloadable PDF. And before you get angry about the seemingly low amounts of some of the numbers, many of the classifications in SFUSD are bi-weekly payments. UESFD certificated reflects teachers and is on the last page:
As for peace, I might have that if I wasn't going to be undeservedly punished by an angry mob, fueled by incomplete and manipulated information.
Okay- I may have learned something here. I will look into this (no reason to believe your figures are not correct). It looks like I understated your base by a lot but also overstated your monthly premium increase under Prop B. What I would like to understand is why SFUSD "volunteers" into HSS especially if your Kaiser rate is a lot higher than the City employee average. So if Prop B passed, and SFUSD didn't like the new rates why wouldn't SFUSD just opt out of HSS and skirt Prop B impact...??
"So if Prop B passed, and SFUSD didn't like the new rates why wouldn't SFUSD just opt out of HSS and skirt Prop B impact...??"
I don't know if it's an option. I wonder why we have the worst deal out of everyone. Seems like if they could or cared, they should have left ages ago. I can only imagine the bureaucratic nightmare doing something like that would cause, and I would guess it would take years to make that kind of change.
We really should all gang up on the health care companies instead of fighting each other. Are rates are high now, but when our family had Blue Shield, our premium contributions went up by $150/month each year for 4 years. I actually lost access to my doctors at UCSF because of some deal between the doctors and Blue Shield. But they have us stuck because health care is treated like a commodity, but with only an illusion of consumer choice.
CJ, you apparently have ill sentiments for public employees. If you so easily throw out figures earned by public employees, say, how much do you earn? After taxes, is it enough to pay for medical and dental copays, retirement, tuition for you and your kids, rent/mortgage, daycare? Are they decent take-home pays, so much that you can afford to own at least 2 cars, or decent enough that you can eat out every night with your family and foot the bill completely? Am I safe to say that you are one of the few well-blessed citizens of SF? A lot of city employees have been laid off, have given up at least 10% of their wages in the last 5 years, have accepted a wage freeze for at least 3 years to save their coworker's jobs, shouldered 7.5% of retirement contribution at no cost to you, the taxpayer. Have you turned on your faucet in the morning expecting a gush of water yet not a drop? Have you walked by the Mission bay and said, hmm, I wanna live here…if I can afford it yet it's free for some people. Have you called SFPD/SFFD and no one showed up? Have you gone to SF gen and you were turned away because you can't afford to have medical insurance? CJ, the services remain, they don't stop no matter what the employees receive or not. The figures are available to you because of public policies, same irrational public policy that will decide what you can and cannot afford to pay for healthcare. Would you like the public to decide that for you?
CJ's figures about city employees' salaries are correct. I've seen numbers from the Controller's office that substantiate the numbers. "CJ" probably posted the figures because Ammiano's article talked about the salaries of working families.
And your attack on "CJ" is misplaced. If he's working in the private sector, his salary, benefits, etc. (whatever they are) are not paid by taxpayers. He probably pays a lot more for his healthcare than anyone in the public sector pays for theirs. Public employees are reaping salaries and benefits that the private sector doesn't get but which the taxpayers have to pay for.
The City has a simple math problem. It's made promises that it can't afford. It would be great to shower excessive benefits on everyone, but the reality is the City can't afford to do that and things are only projected to get worse.
I am a little surprised more City employees don't support the Adachi measure. If you pay attention to the news and the City's budget, the revenue stream has run dry and unfunded liabilities are increasing. No employee is going to be in a good place if the pension fund's liabilities exceeds its assets and supposedly guaranteed benefits go away. (Last I checked, public pension are not insured like private pensions, so City's get driven to bankruptcy. See Vallejo.) What happens if that pension you were banking on doesn't materialize? Moreover, if the City's loses its ability to pay for its healthcare obligations people will have NO healthcare. Better to pay a little more and try and keep the system sustainable, because it's not sustainable in its current form.
According to the study posted earlier, private sector employees only pay 30% on average for their health care. Some City employees already pay 40% of their premiums. I informally polled friends in banking, shipping, finance, tech and they all pay less than us by a few hundred dollars. So where is the evidence private sector employees pay more for health care? I can't find any evidence to support it. I only found evidence to support the fact that if prop B passes, city workers will pay MORE.
CJ Flowers is not always correct. He had the audacity to tell me how much I pay for healthcare, which was incorrect. He uses parrots the Prop B soundbites, which don't tell the whole story. Family care for teachers = $628 a month, lowest option, not $229.
City employees don't support it because of the health care component, and because they were not consulted or brought to the table.
Per FLowers on nurses' earnings: "The $174,000 is from the City Controller's office. It includes benefits."
Bennies are probably lumped into corresponding earnings figures for janitors etc. as well. So with that in mind and considering how health care rises (unjustifiably) at 10% or more year after year, why go after nurses, gardeners, janitors and the like?
The insurance companies and (yes I'll say it) "downtown" interests are off the agenda. That ought to change. Adachi and Moritz's prop B is an attack on workers, pure and simple.
Jeez- I posted at the top for all employee classes that the figures include "wages and benefits." Yes, benefits paid to City employees cost a small fortune- that is the whole point of Prop B.
That is not "exactly" what you posted. You said something like employee "a" EARNS "x" amount. Problem is benefits are not earnings, yet you lump in the value of benefits w/ salary/wage for effect.
Prop B supporters get their knickers in a big ol' bunch if you say that increased pensions contributions amount to a cut in take home pay. Yet you peddle numbers disguised as earnings which really includes benefits.
You cannot have it both ways.
First post on this thread:
"Here are some of the AVERAGE wages and benefits earned in the current 2010-2011 budget..."
Don't know how I can be any clearer? I have concluded if you want to have a rational discussion about whether Prop B is good public policy best not to get into it with those directly impacted...
A City Gardener's salary tops out at most $59,000. That's what I make after 15 years of service.
Laborer's Local 261 has made concessions to help the City.
I personally got 12 furlough days, we are not taking raises and we will put more toward our pensions - we expect to.
We are exposed to surreal hazards daily to keep our parks safe for you. Help keep me and my family safe.
Vote NO on Prop. B!
Thank you!
-Your City Gardener
These seem like fair wages to me. I dont begrudge a fair wage just because i dont get one myself.
The actual point is these are the factual "working families" referenced in the editorial we are commenting on (..."nurses, firefighters, custodians, and gardeners") and voters will decide whether or not they can afford to pay more for their benefits whose costs are leading to significant cuts in vital City services...
Thank you. I think that's really the issue here.
I'm a nurse at SFGH and make about 62,000 a year. I also work my ass off there. Where are some of these figures you're getting? I just gave up 7.5 % of my salary approximately three months ago and am now being asked to give another 7-10% more. This is San Francisco, not Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The cost of living here is significantly higher. You're distorting the salaries people are making big-time. Can you afford to give up 20% of your monthly income right now? I'm sick of hearing about how angry people are with City employees because they had a hard time with a clerk at the DMV; look around at how many other people help run this city!
"Where are some of these figures you're getting?"
City Controller's office.
...hopefully you'll be able to stay on your computer for the rest of your tired life,not needing any services from anyone...your shortsighted, myopic perception will surely create a dynamic, that years from now you'll claim no responsibility in creating...just wait...
Oh goodness- I'll take one last shot at this...
This is a discussion about public policy and how best to pay for rising benefit costs. This is not a discussion as to whether City services and the employees who provide them are a valuable contribution to the commnunity- of course they are.
Currently the City spends $800 plus million a year on health and pension benefits (I know- "your numbers are wrong!") and according to the Controller's estimates this cost is doubling to $1.6 billion plus by 2015 (and the Controller's office always underestimates everything -scary). So the question is- WHERE IS THIS MONEY GOING TO COME FROM TO PAY FOR THIS? Prop B doesn't even come close to covering this benefit cost increase in full. (The current estimate is Prop B saves $121 million a year although the original estimate was higher.)
Obviously most here are City employees. They don't want to pay more for the benefits- who would? Residents on the other hand, do not want to see further cuts in vital CIty services as the City is already a mess. (Ever seen the condition of the streets arond here?) So many residents believe City employees should contribute more for their excellent benefits since benefits are the primary driver of rising City operational costs.
Most City employees don't live in San Francisco so many don't share the concerns about cuts in vital City services as San Francisco residents. We do not have congruent interests here. But let's not pretend this debate is about anything else...
At least one commenter here (the teacher's wife) ME--we live here in the city, as many do. I think the figure on the Bay Citizen was about half do, and the ones that do live here tend to be on the lower end of the pay scale. So to say employees don't care about cutting city services is another sweeping generalization.
I don't see how voters can decide "if city employees can afford to pay more for their benefits." How would any of you even know? If your "salary" figures included benefits (the $174 for a nurse for example, although my nurse friend makes a lot less than that at General, including her benefits) it doesn't illustrate to the voter how much take-home pay someone has. And like any mob-incited action, it never takes the time to find a solution that is fair and protects those who need it. Take-home pay for nine-year teacher with a masters degree, after paying for Teacher's pension fund, taxes & insurance is about $3300. Sure sounds enough to live on for a single person, but NOT a family. Childcare alone is $1040 for pre-school, and that is on the lower end of the options out there. We also support an aging parent. And I know others in the District who are not as well off as us. You don't know ANYTHING about individual situations, and are crafting "policy" based on generalizations. (It was clear you didn't even know that different employees have different contribution rates.) The way Adachi and supporters have gone about this is just awful, relying on selective information and inciting anger. Yes, there is a budget problem, but you are deluded if you think you are some kind of hero protecting the innocent, with this proposed solution.
CJ, you apparently have ill sentiments for public employees. If you so easily throw out figures earned by public employees, say, how much do you earn? After taxes, is it enough to pay for medical and dental copays, retirement, tuition for you and your kids, rent/mortgage, daycare?

InStyle.com: Celebrity Winter Beauty Secrets
1 of 9
Skip to Main Content | Skip to Categories | Skip to Search
|Beauty routines change with the weather. And now that the temperatures dropped, we caught up with the gorgeous celebrities at the CoverGirl 50th anniversary party in Los Angeles last night to find out their winter beauty secrets.
"Always a little concealer," Drew Barrymore told us of her signature beauty look (no matter the season!). "And always a ton of cover up stuff." Although Barrymore, who wore a Jil Sander dress and Hunting Season clutch, said it goes beyond that. "But, beauty is within. I don't care if you're the most attractive person on the planet. If you're not good on the inside, it will show. You fall in love with people from the inside out."

|"I do tend to do a little bit more make-up, but I'll normally always choose between an eye or a lip. I tend to go for an eye because I think a smoky eye at the end of the night can look messy and it still looks cool whereas a red lip you have to be constantly reapplying. A smoky eye always works well in the winter."

|"I tend to just use a little bit heavier of a moisturizer--I like to make sure I'm really taking care of my skin," said Sophia Bush, who wore a Pamela Rolland dress, Judith Leiber bag and Jimmy Choo shoes. "Also, body oil will save you in the winter time--legs, arms, everything."

Uruguay has scored the crucial first goal in their Round of 16 match against South Korea, with Luis Suárez finishing into an empty net after a Diego Forlán cross took the defense out of the equation.
Forlán, from the far left of attack, played a ball across the box, perfectly between the back line and goalkeeper Jung Sung-Ryong. Jung's mistimed dive took him out of the play, with Suárez taking the ball at the far post for an easy, unmarked finish in the 8th minute
The first goal is particularly vital in this match, as Uruguay has yet to allow a goal in 278 minutes of the 2010 World Cup.

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) - Another national magazine has Chattanooga on the cover after an online competition landed the Scenic City with the "best town ever" title in October's "Outside" magazine.
Nearly 22,000 people voted in the online and social media competition.
The magazine praised the city's beauty and outdoor activities near downtown. It mentions swimming, biking, white water rafting, and climbing opportunities not far from downtown.
"Outside" magazine last featured Chattanooga in a cover story for the August 2008 edition. It called Chattanooga one of the 20 Best Towns in America and ranked the Scenic City No. 2 on its list, second only to Washington, D.C.
The profile summarized the city's renaissance in the 1990s, its revitalized downtown and the many opportunities -- from boating to climbing -- in the great outdoors.

Olsen just missed his first career 100-yard game, finishing with 94 and a touchdown on five receptions in Sunday's 37-23 win at Detroit.||||||| Olsen set career marks for receptions (60), yards (612) and touchdowns (eight) this season.
Olsen had five catches for 71 yards and three touchdowns, the highlight of a tough day for the Bears in a 41-21 loss to Arizona.||||||| This was the breakout game of the season for the talented tight end, who now has six touchdowns and has been looked to consistently by Jay Cutler. The Bears face San Francisco on Thursday, so get him in your lineup early if you want to play Olsen this week.

The plan to build a satellite DPW site on Fort Monmouth property in Eatontown will be reworked after county and borough representatives met last week.
The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority (FMERA) was expected to take action on whether or not it will grant a sublease to the county for its proposed site that would include a salt storage building, fueling station, truck wash and a 260-foot 911 communications tower on the former motor pool property in Eatontown during its meeting tonight.
However, that vote has now been rescheduled for FMERA's October board meeting as the two entities hash out a broader plan, according to a release on FMERA's web site.
The two sides met on Sept. 13 to discuss the plan and decided to alter the plan.
"Attendees from both the county and Eatontown agreed that for the ultimate benefit of the residents of the region, and to facilitate the eventual successful redevelopment of the former fort property, it was imperative for both sides to think regionally and work together for the common good," the release states.
"In response to Eatontown residents' questions and concerns, the county officials advanced preliminary plans to set aside additional areas of green space, install bermed landscaped buffers along property lines, deed restrict boundary lines to preclude any additional streets, remove and transform specific currently asphalted areas to green space, direct county vehicle traffic away from neighborhoods and toward more commercial roadways, and to consider other means of minimizing any impact on nearby residents," the release continues.
County and Eatontown residents also discussed other ways to share services that could "enhance both Eatontown's and the County's ability to provide services to their respective constituents that would save both time and money."
The Eatontown Council passed a resolution opposing the plan at its meeting last week and several residents who live in the area of the proposed site have spoken out against the plan.
The site is located near Rose Court and College Avenue and the main entrance to the DPW yard would be Nicodemus Avenue.
For more information about the original plan, please click here.

Kefir Cream Cheese
Kefir is so easy to make, you can easily end up with extra! Here's a good way to put some of that bounty to use.
Pour the milk kefir into the cheesecloth, cotton bag or tight weave towel. Hang above a bowl or jar and allow the whey to drain off for 12+ hours depending on the thickness desired. Once the desired thickness is reached, refrigerate the cheese. Use in recipes in place of cream cheese--will have a more sour and stronger taste than standard cream cheese.

Smith: New farm bill "unlikely" before November elections
Third District Congressman Adrian Smith thinks it's unlikely a new Farm Bill will be passed before provisions of the old one expire at the end of the month or before the November elections.
The full Senate and the House Ag Committee have passed versions of the Farm Bill, but House GOP leaders have so far refused to bring the committee bill to the floor and Smith doesn't see that changing before Congress adjourns at the end of the week.
Smith says he favors the House extending the current Farm bill for three months rather a one year extension.
Smith says 80% of the money in the farm bill goes to the food stamp program, and that's the biggest hurdle for the new farm bill in the House.

By: Kevin Luster
Yesterday evening included a stop over at the Fashion Valley Theater in order to purge. No, I wasn't suffering from a self-conscious compulsion to reproduce yesterday's lunch. Rather, I was taking in the new feature film "The Purge."
The film chronicles an "all-American" family living in a reformed United States. Unemployment is at its lowest rate of all time, the economy is flourishing, and crime has is all but been eradicated. All these good fortunes are due to the annual "Purge," put in place by the "new founding fathers." A night for self-described "patriotic" Americans to release their rage, "The Purge" provides twelve hours of consequence free criminality. All emergency services are suspended and everything is legal, including murder.
Though the execution (see what I did there) is more along the lines of an imposter "Hunger Games," all value of the feature is not lost. "The Purge" begs the question; how far are you willing to go in order to protect yourself or your family? This becomes abundantly apparent when the dutiful American father, played by Ethan Hawk, is foiled by his son, Max Burkholder, after he lets a purge victim inside the fortified walls of their home, and puts the whole family in danger.
Though it was loaded with the typical surprise scares and cheesy masked killers, there were some truly eerie scenes that sent shivers down the spine, to include the menacing alarm signaling the beginning of the Purge. The Purge does walk the fine line between what is moral and what is barbaric. Barbaric of course, refers to Ethan Hawks acting.
The conclusion, without ruining the HUGE twist, left plenty of ends untied, can you say "Purge 2: The Binge." I smell a franchise! All in all, this viewer gives the flick two thumbs up and a couple of other fingers as well.

I am trying something new here at Gearheads Anonymous. When I started my blog last year, I wrote a number of "tips for drivers" and "tips for owners" with limited success. I got almost no feedback and eventually I ran out of ideas. This time around, I am going for something that has a source pool that never dries up and will always be interesting to me: I am starting a "car of the week" feature.
The idea will be that, come the end of my week, I will assess the previous seven days and decide what car most piqued my interest in that time period. For each car I will briefly discuss why I chose it, give a brief discussion on what makes it interesting and unique and list some resources (online communities, etc.). The cars will be new and old, and the reason for choosing will vary weekly. I hope the variety keeps both you and me interested.
So, enough banality. On with the show. The inaugural Car of the Week is….

CATEGORIES Action, Casting, New Releases, RumorMonger, Celebrities and Controversy, Newsstand, Obits, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Stars in Rewind, Features, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalIn the last twenty-four hours alone, countless news articles have compared the late Heath Ledger to James Dean. Of course it helps that the two actors -- whose careers lie fifty years apart -- bear physical resemblances to each other. The real reason for the frequency of the comparison, however, revolves around the possibility that Ledger, like Dean, might end up with a posthumous Oscar nomination.
Other than Dean, whose death in a 1955 car accident was preceded by two nominations back-to-back, six actors have landed the distinction -- but only one, Peter Finch, actually won (for Network in 1976). However, Ledger is now perceived an actor who possessed a potential he never quite realized, while Dean was already an icon by the time of his death (and he still didn't win the prize). If Ledger gets nominated for his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight, the award will also acknowledge the great career that never was. Dean surely would have followed Giant with other wonderful performances, but his brief filmography also allowed the actor to reach a level of prestige that Ledger would have needed a few more movies to attain. So does this comparison really hold up?
The media certainly seems to think so. "Like Dean, he could endure as a mythic figure of talent silenced before his time," writes the AP. "People are aflutter over seeing the final performance of a new James Dean," reports The Huffington Post. " One quality that Ledger and Dean did share is rapid growth," notes the Baltimore Sun.
These are all provocative ways of examining America's longstanding relationship with celebrity lives (and deaths), but that doesn't mean Ledger's own posthumous myth benefits from being stuffed into Dean's established legend. If Ledger does get nominated -- and if he wins -- it should happen because the performance stands on its own terms.
What do you think? Does the Dean comparison help or harm Ledger's Oscar chances?

Raiders rookie Darrius Heyward-Bey will head into his first full offseason having failed to silence skeptics that mocked Oakland for selecting him with the seventh overall pick in April's draft. Heyward-Bey started all 11 games in which he played and made just nine catches for 124 yards and one touchdown. He wasn't much of a contributor in Year One, but the passing game as a whole was not productive with JaMarcus Russell under center for most of the season. Publicly, the Raiders' staff has been supportive of Heyward-Bey, and didn't pull him from the starting lineup, even when other receivers outperformed him. It sounds simple, but catching the ball with his hands, rather than securing it after it hits his body, is something he'll have to improve upon if he's going to validate Al Davis' decision to draft him ahead of Michael Crabtree. Heyward-Bey missed the last four games with a foot strain, but he returned to practice Wednesday and may play Sunday.

Pulmonary edema is a condition caused by excess fluid in the lungs. This fluid collects in the numerous air sacs in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe.
In most cases, heart problems cause pulmonary edema. But fluid can accumulate for other reasons, including pneumonia, exposure to certain toxins and medications, and exercising or living at high elevations.
Pulmonary edema that develops suddenly (acute) is a medical emergency requiring immediate care. Although pulmonary edema can sometimes prove fatal, the outlook improves when you receive prompt treatment for pulmonary edema along with treatment for the underlying problem. Treatment for pulmonary edema varies depending on the cause, but generally includes supplemental oxygen and medications.
Depending on the cause, pulmonary edema symptoms may appear suddenly or develop slowly.
Sudden (acute) pulmonary edema symptoms
If you develop any of these signs or symptoms, call 911 or emergency medical assistance right away. Pulmonary edema can be fatal if not treated.
Long-term (chronic) pulmonary edema symptoms
High-altitude pulmonary edema symptoms
When to see a doctor
Pulmonary edema that comes on suddenly (acute) is life-threatening. Get emergency assistance if you have any of the following acute signs and symptoms:
Don't attempt to drive yourself to the hospital. Instead, call 911 or emergency medical care and wait for help.
Your lungs contain numerous small, elastic air sacs called alveoli. With each breath, these air sacs take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Normally, the exchange of gases takes place without problems.
But in certain circumstances, the alveoli fill with fluid instead of air, preventing oxygen from being absorbed into your bloodstream. A number of things can cause fluid to accumulate in your lungs, but most have to do with your heart (cardiac pulmonary edema). Understanding the relationship between your heart and lungs can help explain why.
How your heart works
Your heart is composed of two upper and two lower chambers. The upper chambers (the right and left atria) receive incoming blood and pump it into the lower chambers. The lower chambers, the more muscular right and left ventricles, pump blood out of your heart. The heart valves — which keep blood flowing in the correct direction — are gates at the chamber openings.
Normally, deoxygenated blood from all over your body enters the right atrium and flows into the right ventricle, where it's pumped through large blood vessels (pulmonary arteries) to your lungs. There, the blood releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen. The oxygen-rich blood then returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins, flows through the mitral valve into the left ventricle, and finally leaves your heart through another large artery, the aorta. The aortic valve at the base of the aorta keeps the blood from flowing backward into your heart. From the aorta, the blood travels to the rest of your body.
Heart-related (cardiac) pulmonary edema
Cardiac pulmonary edema — also known as congestive heart failure — occurs when the diseased or overworked left ventricle isn't able to pump out enough of the blood it receives from your lungs. As a result, pressure increases inside the left atrium and then in the veins and capillaries in your lungs, causing fluid to be pushed through the capillary walls into the air sacs.
Congestive heart failure can also occur when the right ventricle is unable to overcome increased pressure in the pulmonary artery, which usually results from left heart failure, chronic lung disease or high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery (pulmonary hypertension).
Medical conditions that can cause the left ventricle to become weak and eventually fail include:
Coronary artery disease. Over time, the arteries that supply blood to your heart can become narrow from fatty deposits (plaques). A heart attack occurs when a blood clot forms in one of these narrowed arteries, blocking blood flow and damaging the portion of your heart muscle supplied by that artery. The result is that the damaged heart muscle can no longer pump as well as it should.
Although the rest of your heart tries to compensate for this loss, either it's unable to do so effectively or it's weakened by the extra workload. When the pumping action of your heart is weakened, blood backs up into your lungs, forcing fluid in your blood to pass through the capillary walls into the air sacs.
Heart valve problems. In mitral valve disease or aortic valve disease, the valves that regulate blood flow in the left side of your heart either don't open wide enough (stenosis) or don't close completely (insufficiency). This allows blood to flow backward through the valve. When the valves are narrowed, blood can't flow freely into your heart and pressure in the left ventricle builds up, causing the left ventricle to work harder and harder with each contraction. The left ventricle also dilates to allow more blood flow, but this makes the left ventricle's pumping action less efficient. Because it's working so much harder, the left ventricle eventually thickens, which puts greater stress on the coronary arteries, further weakening the left ventricular muscle.
The increased pressure extends into the left atrium and then to the pulmonary veins, causing fluid to accumulate in your lungs. On the other hand, if the mitral valve leaks, some blood is backwashed toward your lung each time your heart pumps. If the leakage develops suddenly, you may develop sudden and severe pulmonary edema.
Noncardiac pulmonary edema
Not all pulmonary edema is the result of heart disease. Fluid may also leak from the capillaries in your lungs' air sacs because the capillaries themselves become more permeable or leaky, even without the buildup of back pressure from your heart. In that case, the condition is known as noncardiac pulmonary edema because your heart isn't the cause of the problem. Some factors that can cause noncardiac pulmonary edema are:
High altitudes. Mountain climbers and people who live in or travel to high-altitude locations run the risk of developing high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). This condition — which typically occurs at elevations above 8,000 feet (about 2,400 meters) — can also affect hikers or skiers who start exercising at higher altitudes without first becoming acclimated. But even people who have hiked or skied at high altitudes in the past aren't immune.
Although the exact cause isn't completely understood, HAPE seems to develop as a result of increased pressure from constriction of the pulmonary capillaries. Without appropriate care, HAPE can be fatal.
If pulmonary edema continues, it can raise pressure in the pulmonary artery and eventually the right ventricle begins to fail. The right ventricle has a much thinner wall of muscle than does the left side because it is under less pressure to pump blood into the lungs. The increased pressure backs up into the right atrium and then into various parts of your body, where it can cause:
When not treated, acute pulmonary edema can be fatal. In some instances it may be fatal even if you receive treatment.
You're likely to start by seeing your primary care doctor, or in the case of acute pulmonary edema, an emergency room physician. Most people with pulmonary edema will be hospitalized for at least a few days, often longer. You may see several specialists while you are in the hospital. After your condition has been stabilized, you may then be referred as an outpatient to a doctor who specializes in disorders of the heart (cardiologist) or in treating lung disorders (pulmonologist).
What you can do
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For pulmonary edema, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment at any time that you don't understand something.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Because pulmonary edema requires prompt treatment, you'll initially be diagnosed on the basis of your symptoms and a physical exam and chest X-ray. You may also have blood drawn — usually from an artery in your wrist — so that it can be checked for the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide it contains (arterial blood gas concentrations). Your blood will also be checked for levels of a substance called B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Increased levels of BNP may indicate that your pulmonary edema is caused by heart problems. Other blood tests will usually be done, including tests of your kidney function, blood count, as well as tests to exclude a heart attack as the cause of your pulmonary edema.
Once your condition is more stable, your doctor will ask about your medical history, especially whether you have ever had cardiovascular or lung disease.
Tests that may be done to diagnose pulmonary edema or to determine why you developed fluid in your lungs include:
Echocardiography (diagnostic cardiac ultrasound exam). Another noninvasive test, echocardiography uses a wand-shaped device called a transducer to generate high-frequency sound waves that are reflected from the tissues of your heart. The sound waves are then sent to a machine that uses them to compose images of your heart on a monitor.
The test can help diagnose a number of heart problems, including valve problems, abnormal motions of the ventricular walls, fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion) and congenital heart defects. It also accurately measures the amount of blood your left ventricle ejects with each heartbeat (ejection fraction, or EF). It can also estimate if there's increased pressure in the right side of the heart. Although a low EF often indicates a cardiac cause for pulmonary edema, it's possible to have cardiac pulmonary edema with a normal EF.
Giving oxygen is the first step in the treatment for pulmonary edema. You usually receive oxygen through a face mask or nasal cannula — a flexible plastic tube with two openings that deliver oxygen to each nostril. This should ease some of your symptoms. Sometimes it may be necessary to assist your breathing with a machine.
Depending on your condition and the reason for your pulmonary edema, you may also receive one or more of the following medications:
Treating high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE)
If you're climbing or traveling at high altitudes and experience mild symptoms of HAPE, descending a few thousand feet (about 600 to 900 meters) as quickly as you can, within reason, should relieve your symptoms. Oxygen also is helpful. When symptoms are more severe, you'll likely need help in your descent. A helicopter rescue may be necessary for the most serious cases, because HAPE can be life-threatening.
Some climbers take the prescription medication acetazolamide (Diamox) to help treat or prevent symptoms of HAPE. To prevent HAPE, acetazolamide is started as long as three days before ascent. Acetazolamide can occasionally have side effects — including tingling or burning in the hands and feet, confusion, diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite, and hearing problems.
The following suggestions may speed your recovery from cardiac pulmonary edema and help prevent a recurrence:
If you've experienced noncardiac pulmonary edema — including some forms of ARDS — take care to minimize any further damage to your lungs, and as much as possible avoid the cause of your condition, such as drugs, allergens or high altitudes.
Pulmonary edema often isn't preventable, but these measures can help reduce your risk.
Preventing cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of pulmonary edema. You can reduce your risk of many kinds of heart problems by following these suggestions:
Control your blood pressure. High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to serious conditions such as stroke, cardiovascular disease and kidney failure. Most adults should have their blood pressure checked at least once every two years. This is a noninvasive and painless procedure using an inflatable cuff that wraps around your upper arm. The test takes just a few minutes.
A resting blood pressure reading below 120/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) is considered normal. If your resting blood pressure is consistently 140/90 mm Hg or higher, you have high blood pressure. A reading in between these levels places you in the prehypertensive category.
In many cases, you can lower your blood pressure or maintain a healthy level by getting regular exercise, reaching your ideal weight, eating a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products, and limiting salt and alcohol.
Preventing HAPE
If you travel or climb at high altitudes, acclimate yourself slowly. Although recommendations vary, most experts advise ascending no more than 1,000 or 2,000 feet (300 to 600 meters) a day once you reach 8,000 feet (about 2,400 meters). In addition, it's important to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. The higher you ascend the more rapidly you breathe, which means you lose larger amounts of water in the air you exhale from your lungs.
Finally, although being physically fit won't necessarily prevent HAPE, people in good condition tend to be less stressed at high altitudes. However, just because you have hiked or skied at high altitude before doesn't protect you from HAPE. Taken 12 to 72 hours before you travel to a high altitude, the medication acetazolamide (Diamox) can help prevent HAPE. Consider continuing the medication for an additional few days if any signs of altitude sickness, especially headache or insomnia, occur.

wtf are you talking about!? our defense lost this game for us. grudens sorry offense as you think of it scored us 24 points. what more do you want? our defense and special teams needs to seal the deal to win the games.
You're crazy what staff do you suggest?? What HC out there is better??? Face it we haven'y added any decent FA's in years and have tried to build through the draft the past few years on offense because we can not afford top tier players thanks to the previous regime that had a window since 98. Yet in grudens first year he can get the SB trophy. Since he has been cash strapped and draft pick strapped until the past 2 seasons where he had picks and with those has generated 1 ROY and what should have been another ROY-- we all knew the window was closing and that the mortgage for Gruden and the SB would come and now we all B about when it's here. Face it we have holes on this team and a very young offense. None of you would be complaining if Grads could have stepped into that throw and winged it long enough because it would have been 6 for Galloway as he was wide open if that play is executed and the throw isn't short. Next he gets the first but a player commits an infraction when he has to sell the route. following guess what 3rd and 14 is hard to get in this league but Grads checked down on both 3rd and 4th down and i doubt that was gruden saying hit the underneath 4yd play. Not to mention Joey drops a sure 1st down plus on that drive. I guess Gruden caused that as well.Gruden shares blame because it's his team but replacing him wont solve anything-- Replacing Muir and BaSuckia may. Cause that is where the definicies lie withy this team. But when yourOC and HC put up 400yds three scores and are leading well into the 4th and your ST's F's it all up there is no use blaming the gameplan.
keep bringing up Switzer -- it's a good exmple-- what the hell has dallas done since him-- Gailey, Campo, and Parcells haven't done crap and they have a far worse win pct-- what was your point again???thanks for playing--- game overPoint of your story change doesn't always work
this team needs... a warren sapp a john lynch and better defensive players
Good argument My points is what makes Gruden a great coach again? STILL waiting for an answer. And do you mean the Cowboys that are currently 2-1 and winning today?
Because as you have seen in the past 2 games he has made the calls to win the games -- sure he shares blame in the losses but he has easily been handicapped by the circumstances surrounding the team. Yet you would like to see Kiffen who I love as well but come on you blame Gruden but have no problem with kiff when it is his defense that has looked like crap all year.  He cant make his one side of the ball hold yet you want him to manage it all. why is that? Gruden on the other hand has proven with his players in place he can succeed. And the past two games has done so-- you tell me what side of the ball has been better the past 2 games.what makes me like Gruden??He is still young- has more winning seasons than losing, has alot of playoff appearances, has a SB, and is rebuilding. He has the youngest offense in all of football and has stayed competitive. IMO you place the blame on the wrong circumstances. I am not ready to give up on gruden until he has the cap, the players, and the full draft to build like he did in Oakland-- he has never had that here yet in 4 short years has 2 divison titles and a SB. You act like we were all blind to the fact that this aging defense -- high priced FA's that have been uncuttable,and all the lost drafts would not catch up to us. Yet while keeping it competitive  he has a young offense coming around that was ignored for half a decade by the previous regime.
I'm trying to figure out how over 400 yds of O is bad?D now that was bad!
I know your not saying that an aged Sapp and an aged Lynch would make this a great defense again....
well sorry it was 21... still enough. you're an idiot if you think defense didn't lose this game. you are just a gruden hater.

Is this the same family the Weekly reported about in June? Web Link ("Family files claim against school district")
That Weekly story was about "the family of a Palo Alto special education student who was previously the focus of an Office for Civil Rights investigation" who filed a claim for damages against the district on June 21. Its complaints: bullying and needing appropriate services.
The Weekly reported that the district had until August 5 to settle or deny the family's claim and that the family was represented by an attorney from King & Spalding.
If this is the same family, it sounds like the district didn't settle and the attorney they were working with no longer represents them.

My family had to spend $6,000 on special ed lawyers last year and who knows how much the district did. I would have rather just spent the money on the schools. Or my family, it's been very stressful, and we've had to sacrifice a lot.
In spite of an unhappy experience, and while it remains to be seen, I really do think Kevin Skelly is sincere about change. I think the district would really, really benefit from legal with a different approach, though, and the directions that would take us would probably reflect better on Mr. Skelly. Like the difference between medical malpractice lawyers who end up causing huge cases by being adversarial, where taking responsibility for a mistake and working with people when something goes wrong turns out to be cheaper and better for everyone. Our legal advisors seem to be squarely in the former camp in their approach, and lo and behold, we've had much higher legal expenditure, unhappy parents, and lawsuits.

FORT WORTH - Fort Worth police are investigating the death of a 24 year-old man who was found Sunday night at a duplex in the 5100 block of Flamingo Road.
Police were responding to a shooting call when they found the victim, who family members have identified as Dwaine Plummer, with an apparent gunshot wound.
Details of exactly what led to his death were not released Monday.
"I have to bury another child," said Lisa Plummer.
On November 10, 2010, her other son, Deshunn was shot and killed.
"Yes, I'm going through a lot," she said.
She spoke from her front porch, which is just two doors down from the duplex where her son was found dead.
"I don't know what happened to him," she said. "He was here. The last time he was here I cooked dinner for him. We were here. After that, he was dead."
Police have not released any suspect information.
