Agency Publication Guide
A resource for producing Washington state publications
It is the state's goal to insure that all publications are produced and distributed in a way that both meets the needs of the state and controls publication costs. This guide is designed as a resource for agencies to help them comply with legal requirements and to provide information on the most cost effective alternatives in producing state publications.
The Office of Financial Management has been directed to report on implementation of chapter 40.07 RCW, regarding management and control of state publications and to "make recommendations concerning the use of alternative methods of distribution, including electronic publication, of agency reports and other publications and notices." Although some agencies are exempt from publication guidelines issued by OFM under chapter 40.07 RCW, they may be subject to other statutes, directives, and administrative policies referenced in this guide.
What is a state publication?
RCW 40.06.010 defines state publications as the following:
"State publication" includes annual, biennial, and special reports, state periodicals and magazines, books, pamphlets, leaflets, and all other materials, other than news releases sent exclusively to the news media, typewritten correspondence and interoffice memoranda, issued in print by the state, the legislature, constitutional officers, or any other state department, committee, or other state agency supported wholly or in part by state funds.
Keep in mind that, according to this same RCW, the term "print" includes all forms of reproducing multiple copies, with the exception of typewritten correspondence and interoffice memoranda. Therefore, these guidelines do cover electronic publications. With advances in technology, however, these guidelines may not always be applicable. Agency staff are encouraged to use common sense, keeping in mind the intent of the legislation and the principles of publication guidelines.
Deciding to produce a publication
State law sets out the guiding principles for managing state publications in chapter 40.07 RCW, which states:
No agency head shall recommend a state publication for printing and distribution, other than those required by law, unless the benefits from the publication and distribution thereof to the citizens and taxpayers of this state clearly exceed the costs of preparation, printing, and distribution. - RCW 40.07.030
While this is a subjective standard, legislative intent is clear. The Legislature has historically taken a dim view of unnecessary publications. The statute states that agency heads must determine whether the benefits from a publication exceed the costs of production and distribution before any publication is authorized.
OFM recognizes that agencies need to produce high-quality, well-designed publications to reach their audience but recommends that they do so "in the most economic manner consistent with effectiveness and achievement of program objectives" [RCW 40.07.030(5)].
While decisions about individual publications are generally left to the discretion of individual agencies, RCW 40.07.030(2) gives OFM the authority to "selectively review state publications in order to determine if specific state publications are economically and effectively contributing to the accomplishment of state agency program objectives." The Governor or the Governor's designee in OFM also has the authority to "eliminate, consolidate, or simplify state agency publications" under RCW 40.07.040(1).
Annual evaluation of every publication is required
State agencies must conduct an annual evaluation of all publications in accordance with OFM guidelines to determine whether they will be produced, revised, or distributed through other means (RCW 40.70.030). Internet publication, for example, may be a better choice for some formerly printed publications as it is often more cost-effective and readily accessible. Agencies should keep in mind that not all citizens have access to electronic publications and should determine the audience when deciding how best to distribute the document.
If the requirements of a federally-mandated state publication conflict with any of the state guidelines for publication or distribution, agencies are required to send a copy of the publication to the OFM Director with a letter of transmittal citing the federal statute, rule, or regulation requiring the publication (RCW 40.07.050). This requirement does not apply to publications that already meet the state publications guidelines defined by statute, Governor's Administrative Policy, OFM Directive, and this guide.
Electronic publications
Current direction: enhance citizen's access to state information through electronic publication
RCW 43.105.250 provides that, "It is the intent of the legislature to encourage state and local governments to develop, store, and manage their public records and information in electronic formats to meet their missions and objectives. Further, it is the intent of the legislature for state and local governments to set priorities for making public records widely available electronically to the public." RCW 43.105.270 requires that, "within existing resources, state agencies shall plan for and implement processes for making information available electronically."
Electronic publications can be an effective alternative
In many cases, electronic communications - whether through the Internet, CD-ROM, or some other medium - provide a cost-effective alternative to printed publications.
The Department of Information Services (DIS) provides advice and direct services to agencies in designing and maintaining communications networks. Information on the Web Presentation Guide can be found at here.
For further assistance, agencies may consult with DIS by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com
While the number of households and business connected to the Internet is growing rapidly, agencies should recognize that not all citizens have access to electronic communications and they are not a substitute for printed materials in all cases. In addition to issues of public access to information, the Attorney General's Office has determined that electronic communications are not a substitute for printed reports required of state agencies under various statutes.
Style, formatting, and production
The Governor's Office has directed all executive branch agencies, boards, and commissions to "balance the effectiveness of printed materials with cost considerations when selecting formats, colors, and logos."
Use recycled paper and ink where possible
The State Department of Printing is continually working toward a cleaner environment and encourages the use of recycled products. The State Printer uses non-petroleum (vegetable) based ink, and over ninety-five percent of all paper used for state printing has recycled content.
The state clearly intends that recycle standards be followed for state publications. It is recommended that agencies follow this intent by consulting with the State Printer or the Copy Centers about printing stock available, and affixing a recycle symbol to your publication. For current information regarding the Washington State Department of Printing, consult their website at http://www.prt.wa.gov/default.asp?p=rc_strd.
Standards for state letterhead and business cards
Common sense should dictate printing decisions but some specific standards should be adhered to for stationery (letterhead and envelopes) and business cards printed by the State Department of Printing, the Department of Corrections printing facilities, agency in-house printing facilities, and private printing firms utilizing state funds.
- Individual names should not be printed on any letterhead or memo paper.
- Addresses should be printed with the PO Box and Zip +4 zip code.
- The union label and recycle symbol should appear on all business cards and letterhead printed by the State Printer.
- Letterhead and business cards should be printed with green ink on recycled stock.
- Agencies may create letterhead electronically, provided that the design conforms to that established by the State Printer.
- Business cards should be printed only for employees who require cards as an integral part of their responsibilities.
While these requirements apply specifically to letterhead and business cards, OFM recommends that agencies apply the same standards of simplicity to publications.
Guidelines for agency publications
Agencies are encouraged to develop internal policies and procedures to govern their publications, whether generated in paper or electronic formats. These policies and procedures should:
- Ensure the quality of agency publications and promote consistency in graphic design within individual agencies.
- Standardize and simplify the process of creating and maintaining agency publications, including an annual review process for existing publications. The review process should include strategies to revise, combine, or eliminate outdated or unnecessary publications and strategic planning for all communication materials.
- Allow publications to be posted electronically with a minimum effort, thus increasing access to public information.
- Improve the management of requisition forms to allow better monitoring of agency publication costs and other printing and copying requests.
Disability access and ADA language
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that all state services, including publications, be accessible to people with disabilities.
In communicating with employees, applicants, clients of services, or the general public, all state agencies, boards and commissions shall ensure that Teletypewriters (TTYs), sign language interpreters, assistive devices, and information in alternate formats shall be provided upon request.
The Governor's Committee on Disability Issues and Employment, which can be reached at 360-438-3168, offers a guide on producing materials in large print, cassette recording and ASCII formats. This publication, Producing Materials in Alternative Formats: A Guide for Agencies, also lists resources for securing professionally produced Braille and other formats. The Braille Access Center, at the Washington State School for the Blind, 360-696-6321 Ext. 158, and the Taping Program, at Central Washington University's Disability Support Service Office 509-963-2171 will contract with agencies to produce materials in Braille or tape, respectively.
The Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium, http://www.w3.org/WAI/, has developed guidelines for improving access for people with disabilities to materials provided through the Internet.
Sample ADA language
ADA language must appear on all agency and institution documents available to the public. This language lets individuals requesting alternative formats and/or accommodations for meetings know how to notify agencies of their specific needs.
Sample ADA language is provided as a reference.
If you would like copies of this document in an alternative format—large print, Braille, cassette tape, or on computer disk - please contact (provide name of agency, address, phone number, and TTY/TDD number).
To obtain this publication in alternative format, please contact the (indicate agency) ADA Coordinator at (address, phone, fax).
This document is available in alternative formats to accommodate persons with disabilities. Copies of this document can be obtained in alternative formats by calling (contact phone number, TTY/TDD telephone number).
Review and approval by OFM prior to legislative submittal
Any report prepared by an executive agency for the Legislature must be reviewed and approved by OFM's Executive Policy and Budget Divisions prior to transmittal to the Legislature. OFM reviews these reports for policy, fiscal, and program content. At a minimum, a two-week period is necessary for OFM review. OFM staff will notify agencies upon completion of the review.
To expedite review and approval, agencies are advised to contact their assigned OFM budget or policy analyst early in the planning process and keep the analyst informed about the status of the publication until complete. In general, it is desirable to send the analyst a draft of the final publication. In no case should publications be printed in quantity before OFM review. For additional information, please refer to OFM Directive 96-11 or contact the OFM Executive Policy Division at 360-902-0641.
Distribution to the Legislature via the State Library
Direct distribution of agency publications to the Legislature has been prohibited since 1989, when the Governor directed OFM to work with the State Library and agencies to reduce the volume of publications received by elected officials. Instead, agencies must transmit three copies of publications to the State Library, which will then publish the information through the Legislative Alert List.
The Legislative Alert List is published monthly and is sent to legislators, legislative analysts, agency directors, and designated agency employees. The List contains the publication title, date, agency name, length, and the name and telephone number of the agency contact. Agencies may post publications in the List by sending three copies along with the information listed above to:
Washington State Library
State Distribution Center
PO Box 42460
Olympia, WA 98504-2460
Individuals may request publications directly from the issuing agency if the publication is of interest. For more information, or for a sample copy of Legislative Alert, contact the Washington State Library at 360-704-5265.
Reports prepared for distribution to a limited audience or specific committee or with a rush timeline can be sent directly.
The State Library requires additional copies for statewide distribution
To help assure that the public has access to information and that historic records of state activities are maintained, OFM Directive 00D-01 requires that agencies use the State Distribution Center at the State Library to make information available through libraries statewide.
The State Library uses depository libraries to insure that publications are available for the general public. Ideally the State library requests that state agencies provide them with 50 paper copies of all publications written for a general audience, the Legislature, or the public. These copies will be made available at depository libraries throughout the state.
If a publication is produced for limited distribution, the State Library requests 15 paper copies for the Full Depository libraries only. These guidelines apply to state publications defined by chapters 40.06 and 40.07 RCW.
To determine the number of copies needed, agencies should call the State Distribution Center or 360-704-5265 or 360-704-5226.
The State Library may also request that agencies furnish the Distribution Center with a complete list of current state publications and a copy of its mailing and/or exchange lists RCW 40.06.060. Mailing and/or exchange lists provided to the State Library fall within the guidelines of RCW 42.17.260 and 42.52.050, relating to confidentiality. Call the State Library at 360-704-5226 for more information.
State Library collection program
Before recycling old state publications that have outlived their usefulness to state agencies, please contact the State Library. The State Library may be able to distribute such publications as RCWs, session laws, and agency publications to libraries in Washington State. Contact the State Library at 360-704-5265.
Mailing publications at the lowest available rate
RCW 40.06.040 requires that state publications distributed to the public and the Legislature be mailed at the lowest available postal rate. Assistance with bulk mailing is available from the State Printer (see the Department of Printing website: http://www.prt.wa.gov/default.asp?p=serv_mail). Consultation on developing and formatting agency mailing lists is also available.
Cleaning up publication mailing lists
State law requires that state agencies notify recipients of agency publications at least once per biennium to provide the opportunity to be removed from the distribution list. Exempt from this requirement are mailings required by a state or federal statute, rule, or regulation; those maintained by an institution of higher education for official fund raising or curriculum offerings; bulk mailings addressed to "occupant" or a similar designation; and paid subscriptions (RCW 40.07.040).
Fees and advertising
Charging fees for state publications
State law provides some agencies with specific statutory authority to collect fees for the publications they produce. For example, under RCW 77.12.185, the Department of Fish and Wildlife is authorized to "collect moneys to recover the reasonable costs of publication of informational materials by the department and shall deposit them in the state treasury to be credited to the state wildlife fund."
The state Public Disclosure Law also allows agencies to impose "a reasonable charge" to recover the cost of providing copies of public records pursuant to public records requests (RCW 42.17.300). The law stipulates a maximum charge of 15 cents per page for copying. However, the Office of the Attorney General has advised OFM that the Public Disclosure Law should not be interpreted as providing blanket authority to agencies to charge for publications not relating to a public disclosure request. Absent specific statutory authority, state agencies are advised to consult with their assistant attorney general before charging for a publication produced for general distribution.
Advertising in state publications
Agencies that accept advertising for their publications, should be aware of chapter 82.32 RCW which states:
Advertising in state publications is limited to instances where the advertiser has a certificate of registration from the Department of Revenue, and when - if not obligated to collect and remit state retail sales or use tax - the advertiser agrees to voluntarily collect and remit these taxes, or agrees to provide the Department of Revenue with the names and addresses of Washington customers to whom sales were made as a result of the advertisement.
This restriction applies only to advertising that offers items for sale or solicits orders for sales (RCW 40.07.070). It is the responsibility of the agency to verify registration and provide this information to the Department of Revenue. For more information, contact the Department of Revenue's Taxpayer Services Division at 1-800-647-7706.
Resources available
State Department of Printing
The State Printer can accommodate all public printing needs through the combined resources of its main printing plant, copy centers, and private vendors. When the job has special specifications or the turn-around time is too short for plant production, the Department of Printing will bid an order to a private vendor to ensure that agencies receive high-quality publications at the lowest cost possible.
Main plant
The Department of Printing Main Plant is located at 7580 New Market St SW, in the New Market Industrial Park in Tumwater. Services provided by the plant include graphic design, traditional and electronic prepress, single and multi-color offset printing, variable information printing, binding, mailing, copy reproduction, and order fulfillment. Customer service staff members are available to assist agencies in producing cost-effective publications that also meet postal requirements for receiving the lowest possible postage rates.
Agencies may request estimates and order stationery online, download printing request templates, and receive more information about available services by visiting the Department of Printing website, http://www.prt.wa.gov/.
State copy centers
The Copy Centers were established in 1965 to assist state agencies with 81/2"x11" and 11"x17" printing orders, requiring black ink and short turn-around time. Today's Copy Centers offer state-of-the-art copying and finishing facilities designed to meet the diverse technological requirements of their customers. High-quality digital color copies, transparencies, and tabs are just a few of the advanced services available at Department of Printing Copy Centers. Copy Center locations are listed in the state SCAN directory or on the Department of Printing's website at http://www.prt.wa.gov/default.asp?p=cc_loc.
Agencies are encouraged to use the Copy Centers to take advantage of savings. Copy Center prices are available at any copy center, or online at http://www.prt.wa.gov/default.asp?p=cc_fea.
Agencies may also call the State Printer at 360-570-5555 in advance for a job estimate when in doubt about publication costs, or request estimates online at http://www.prt.wa.gov/default.asp?p=cs_est.
Agencies requiring assistance locating the appropriate Copy Center can call Copy Center 1 (General Administration Building) at 360-753-6818.

Cross validation is just a simple validation rule applied on
flex field combination which restricts every user to enter some invalid
combinations. This is applicable to all the fields. Also we can maintain the
close creation of the new key flex field combination and also maintaining a
consistent and logical set of keyflex field combination as per the need of your
organization. It also a cross validation rule defines whether a value of a
particular segment can be combined with specific values of other segments.
When a user finishes entering segment values in a flexfield popup window the
flexfield checks whether the values make up a valid combination before updating
the database. If the user entered an invalid combination a diagnostic error

About 100 people gathered Saturday morning for the Portal Centennial Park dedication, admiring the unique design and complimentary landscaping that transformed an overgrown wooded area into an attractive addition to the town.
In keeping with the theme for Bulloch County's partisan races, none of which were opposed, no one challenged any of four Bulloch County Board of Education members seeking reelection.
Almost a year since a driver struck a black bear on Langston Chapel Road, citizens sighted another black bear - this time, trying to cross a busy highway on the west side of town.
What's the difference between an organic tomato and a "regular" one? Members of the Statesboro Kiwanis Club found out Thursday and took home samples of the red, ripe organic tomatoes grown on Clark Farms near Portal.
A storm rumbled through the Statesboro area the night of June 17, dropping precious rain on the area but also bringing tragedy to a family. Along with the life-giving rain came a lightning bolt that set the home of Bulloch County Superior Court Judge Gates Peed on fire.
Statesboro Police Chief Stan York said the involvement of one of his officers in an auto theft ring was "disappointing" and he has implemented some departmental changes he believes will "discourage" other officers from going astray.
One man was tried and found guilty last week of involvement in an auto theft ring that centered around Statesboro. Twenty of 23 indicted in the case plead guilty while one case was dismissed and another suspect was given a pretrial diversion.
A Portal man lost part of his leg and underwent hip replacement surgery Sunday after a four-wheeler accident in Metter Saturday afternoon.
Jarrod Creasy, a Bulloch County resident who currently attend the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, received the M. L. Miller Memorial Agricultural Scholarship Thursday at an agribusiness luncheon sponsored by the Bulloch County Farm Bureau.
With more animals coming in than going out, the Statesboro-Bulloch County Animal Shelter is closed to incoming animals more than it is open, said Bulloch County Public Safety Director Ted Wynn.
A man whom police said took a forklift from a Statesboro construction site and tried to use it to get his van out of a ditch likely would have fared better had he just called a tow truck.
Georgia Schools Superintendent Kathy Cox plans to propose that public school classes begin later in August starting in 2009, but Bulloch County School Superintendent Dr. Lewis Holloway does not agree with the idea.
Two Bulloch residents were arrested Monday on charges they were growing marijuana in their home on Stilson-Leefield Road.
Bulloch County Superior Court Judge John R. Turner issued a notice of hearing for 9 a.m. Friday regarding the murder of a couple more than two and a half years ago.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents are looking into allegations of jury tampering that led to a recent mistrial regarding a civil suit filed more than seven years ago.
After six days of hearing testimony during a murder trial, I have many questions.
After a six-day trial, a Bulloch County jury acquitted one of two men Friday charged with murdering a Statesboro preacher, but convicted the other, who was in prison at the time.
Jurors for the murder trial of a preacher killed in his sleep in June 2013 will resume deliberation today.
A woman who pleaded guilty in the "hit style" murder of her husband testified Wednesday in the trial of two men charged in the same case.

Monday is my favorite day. lemme just put that out there first and foremost.
And now that that's on the table, let me say whats been going on.
Yes , directly put, with explicit meaning and directions I WANT COMMENTS ON MY POST. No, this is not just for me to rant. I actually like reading everyone's feedback on here and I really do take everything under consideration.
Just, without getting comments, it only solidifies the evil inside my head and how nobody wants to be around it.
I've been pretty sick still...on withdrawal from the drugs and the effects of serotonin syndrome. I've been depressed now for months, well, whatever you want to call it. and suicidal, too. I haven't done what I wanted to do in this time period---ideas of self-harm fill my mind---which makes it all the more painful in my own head.
I feel as though these all contribute to the fact that I am slowly losing friends, one by one, as if one stone really did kill two birds, maybe even three or four, in my case.
I've attempted at shit before and I don't plan to do it ever again because the mere trauma of that is not even worth it.
I'm so out of it right now. And for the past several days, I've been feeling nothingness--an emptiness so deep as if my intestines have been drained out of my body. IT doesn't help that I cant eat without feeling sick to my stomach (and I'm emetophobic--fearful of vomiting) and that I've been so tired I keep taking long naps.
Its hard to imagine what I'm going to be doing a month from now. just because , since this has really taken to affecting me physically as well, I don't know how strong I will be. currently, as I write this, right after eating a meal ..I feel sick to my stomach once again.
Treatment is going okay. I started a new med that I'm not sure about yet. Granted, I've only had it in small doses in my system so far.
Someone told me the other day that maybe I would fall under the category of BPD sufferers---BPD=borderline personality disorder. Sure as hell dont wanna ask any therapists because I cant throw even more crap onto my parents' lap.
sometimes I'm afraid about things that others seem to take for granted. I want to continue my education but its too hard with everything thats going on. and in the interim, i'm not sure I could hold a steady full time job. I don't know what I'm doing.
tomorrow I have my therapy group and the group leader who runs it on Tuesdays is the one i like , so i'm psyched for that. I also have to meet with the doctor and 1-on-1 with my therapist.
1-on-1 is okay, though last time, it ended with me having to talk about my previous relationship with a boy that came about 2 years ago but is so traumatic that i told my therapist in all seriousness, just talking about it is so painful it literally makes me want to kill myself.
have yet to bring up Eli. I'm thinking before group , i'll call the group leader and just talk through what i'm feeling since I can't preserve all these thoughts and feelings to share during group time.
maybe tongiht I'll do that chain analysis they suggest. I don't know how much energy I have.
in the meanwhile,I'm gonna be hanging around my computer for at least the next hour or twoo, so please comment or PM me. I'm seriously alone as fuck.
everyone taht told me they'd "always be there for me" are those same people who dont text back when i try to tell them that i'm in crisis mode.
long entry....read at your own discretion.
When I'm depressed, I can't eat either. Granted, the longest that's ever gone on for me is about three or four days, but even so. When it happens I make sure to get nourishment by drinking small but frequent quantities of nutritious liquids like milk, tomato juice, and chicken broth. This keeps me from fainting from hunger and also protects my depressed stomach from solid foods it just can't handle.
I know right?
There's this girl I like on and off, but usually she's just a friend, and she's always saying "I'm TOTALLY there for you, call me if you need anything" and then I text her and she won't text back. Gah.
yes, one of my ultimate pet peeves. this girl who said she'd always "ALWAYS" be there, will text back "oh, i'm with my bf...cant talk" or..."i'm playing scrabble with my parents"
oh, i musta forgotten...those are MORE important than the direness of crisis :x
i text while i play scrabble. tthat shouldnt intefer.
i remeber the not eating when i usedd to hate my queernes. it seemed so pointless to put this stuff in my mouth, hit it with my teeth, then swallow it
More people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, my friends, that is true perversion.
-Harvey Milk
ferrets....i agree.
for some reason, recently, food has been like sleep to me. i know i need both to survive, but they both seem like a waste. then again, most things have started to get that way i guess.
without TMI-ing...even going to the bathroom seems like such a time sucker. even for 30 seconds. why waste the time? i hate it. ihate doing it.
Sucking time from what?

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

COVENTRY — What first began as a hobby has now turned into a full-blown event to help raise money for families and children in need.
Johnson & Wales University student Tyler Horrock of Coventry, creator of "The Crazy Christmas House," explained that he has been decorating his family's home on 9 Blue Spruce Drive for Christmas for as long as he could remember.
When he was 14 however, he took his love for computers and began making computerized displays to hook up to his home.
It was last year that the display took off and became a fundraising event for those in need.
"Last year we raised money for a family friend who was in a serious car accident and the family had a tough time paying bills," he said. "We raised $5,000 for the family."
Because of the huge turnout, Horrock decided to take the money collected this year and donate it to the Make-A-Wish foundation.
His goal is to raise $7,500.
The foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
While working at Disney World for two years, he said he saw many families visiting the park because of the foundation.
"I really enjoyed seeing the happiness the children got to go through and to be able to break away from the hospitals, even for the parents, it allowed them to enjoy their family," he said. "So I'm hoping with the money, I can send one of the kids and their family to Disney World."
He said he has really grown to love creating the display every year and thinks about it all year long, beginning preparations for the event in August.
Horrock said he originally enrolled in the baking and pastry program at Johnson and Wales University, but soon switched his major to hospitality.
"Hospitality deals with planning things of this nature and that career is definitely more along the lines of what I want," he said.

Hoboken overwhelmed by clothing donations
A group of volunteers from Cape May County drove hours with truckloads and truckloads of clothes, toiletries and blankets for victims of Superstorm Sandy. The problem is the city of Hoboken is out of room for the stuff, so it wound up on the sidewalk.
A volunteer who helped unload the donations Sunday alerted Fox 5 that the stuff had been left outside on the sidewalk. When we went by to check it out Monday we found dozens of people picking through the goods and loading them up.
Some were directly impacted by the storm, others were not.
Volunteers weren't sure what to make of it.
The Salvation Army sent a man with a truck to fill up.
» 10 Comments
What does a victim got to do to get a flat screen and pair of nikes around this place?+8
I think I see the shorts I donated to those blue state people!+2
Wow – Look at the incredible efficiency and organization of our gubmint. I feel so secure.+5
The lesson to be learned?
THIS is what happens when you get the government and its organizations OUT of the way…
We The People have ALWAYS and always WILL take care of our own AND the world, we're certainly capable of this!
But their unions and politicians don't get their cut that way, so everyone has to suffer…FUCK THAT…union gets in the way of Americans helping Americans…SMASH THAT FUCKING UNION INTO THE PAVEMENT and carry on!+8
I need help.
My family has been collecting our old winter clothes in order to send them to those people who need them up there. Now I am hesitant to send anything.
Got any suggestions?+1
"Some were directly impacted by the storm, others were not". It all depend on what the meaning of impacted is. Jethro, take them to your local Goodwill. My wife and I were affiliated with a major relief organization for 15 + years. Unfortunately the good intentions of people self deploying tons of used clothing overwhelms the ability of the organizations to sort, clean, and distribute. Unless a faith based charity is set up to handle the tons of donations much of it will sadly end up in the landfill. Witnessed it many times. Bless you for your effort.+3
Goodwill is ok, I much prefer the Salvation Army.+4
"We The People have ALWAYS and always WILL take care of our own AND the world, we're certainly capable of this!"
right on, WF1, THAT'S America, TOO!, baby, along with all the technology and innovation+1
All of North Joizy is a huge chemical landfill, a shit-filled cesspool infested with Democrats. It is NYC's armpit, a herpes-carbuncled groin, if you will.
Not for nothing, but back in 1976 the southern 10 counties voted to secede from the bloodsucking, leech-filled northern 11 counties.
gENL rIPPER+1
It angries up the blood.+2

The "Shared Value" Category
Excerpts from the nomination:
A Fortune 500 company, Capital One Financial Corporation has more than 50 million customer accounts and one of the most widely recognized brands in America.
Our community involvement commitment:
As a local bank, we are uniquely positioned to catalyze economic opportunities for individuals, families, and small businesses in communities across our footprint. In this way, wherever we do business, Capital One is helping our communities thrive.
Through an integrated program that we call "Investing for Good," we're orchestrating the delivery of high quality banking services along with specialized community development lending, philanthropic support, and pro bono volunteering to generate lasting, local community impact and valuable business results.
Through "Investing for Good," we focus our community investments in four areas that are key building blocks of economic opportunity:
- Affordable housing
- Education
- Small business and workforce development
- Financial Literacy.
Capital One has significantly grown our community development lending and investing, even during the economic downturn, supporting affordable housing development and revitalization of low- and moderate-income communities across our footprint. During the recession, as the market decreased 45 percent for community development loans, we increased ours by 270 percent.
In 2011, Capital One associates contributed more than 192,000 hours to communities, through such efforts as:
- One Week: A company-wide week of service. In 2011, a third of all associates participated, contributing nearly 30,000 hours to communities. Through more than 650 projects, we served more than 200,000 community residents.
- Pro Bono Service: Associates in our Brand Marketing, IT, HR, Finance, Operations, Process Analysis, Real Estate, and Legal departments contribute their professional skills to nonprofits. Our associates have contributed the equivalent of nearly $6 million in pro bono work to our communities.
Financial literacy for all ages
We invest in financial literacy programs to set individuals of all ages on the path to a life of fiscal responsibility and economic self-reliance. In 2011, more than 73,000 people participated in our financial literacy programs. This represents more than a 100 percent increase from 2010, due to increased program efficiencies and the addition of online versions of several of our programs. Participant program evaluations show knowledge gains, as well as enhanced levels of comfort in talking about and managing money.
In 2011, our associates volunteered more than 28,000 hours through Capital One's Investing for Good Financial Literacy programs, such as:
KidzBank:Capital One Bank is helping introduce elementary school students to the importance of saving money with KidzBank, an online software program for the classroom. The program helps students set savings goals and learn about basic money management with local classroom support from Capital One Bank volunteers. Local Capital One Bank branches provide the savings accounts for the participating schools. We have also integrated into the program adult financial education programming for students' parents/guardians to help reinforce the lessons learned in the classroom at home.
Capital One/Junior Achievement Finance Park:This innovative mobile financial education program teaches the tenets of money management to middle school students. Following four weeks of in‐class lessons, students enter a mock city where they become "adults for a day," developing and managing a budget and making real‐life financial decisions. In 2011, Capital One and Junior Achievement together served our 100,000th student. Capital One has also donated several Finance Park mobile units to local communities in need and provided $2.5 million in financing for the development of a permanent Finance Park facility serving the Greater Washington DC region.
Bank It: This financial literacy program, at www.bankit.com, makes it easier for parents and teens to understand, talk about, and manage their money. Through an interactive Web site and workshops on 12 key financial topics, the program empowers families to explore budgets, goals and strategies for making financial choices that matter to them. Bank It was developed collaboratively by Capital One and Search Institute, a leader in positive youth, family and community development. In 2011, Capital One expanded the program to also serve elementary school students.
Student-Run Bank Branches:In partnership with local school districts, Capital One Bank has opened four working branches inside of high schools in New York, New Jersey and Maryland. The branches are run by high school seniors, who provide savings products for students, staff and administrators. The students are also responsible for teaching their fellow peers money management skills. In partnership with local universities, the students also receive college preparatory experiences. Nearly all of the former student bankers have since enrolled in college.
MoneyWi$e:In 2001, Capital One and Consumer Action, a consumer advocacy and education group, partnered to create MoneyWi$e -- a national personal financial education program offering free, multilingual materials and community-based training opportunities on topics such as banking, money management, credit, saving, identity theft, elder fraud, micro-business, and homeownership. To date, the program has reached more than 3.5 million consumers, and more than 4,000 community groups have utilized the MoneyWi$e materials. We facilitate train-the-trainer sessions with Consumer Action and our community-based partners across the country, as well as train our bankers to use the MoneyWi$e materials with local community members.

Download a snow-capped cut from Brainfeeder multitasker Teebs' forthcoming album
Use your ← → arrow keys to navigate
1 of 1
published10 Sep 2010
Teebs is a producer and visual artist from Flying Lotus's Brainfeeder camp. His debut album, Ardour is coming out this year, and it is a cracker.
With a melodic, icy feel to his tracks that recalls the snow-capped atmospherics of Hauschka and Yagya as much as it does his peers like Flying Lotus, as well as a gorgeous cover painted by the man himself, it looks likely to be one of 2010's most satisfying sleeper hits.
We're premiering the lead single from the album, 'Why Like This?, right here right now – the full single will be released on October 4, and the album on October 18.

I've always been an actively physical person. At 5, I was taking ballet, jazz, and tap lessons. When I got to 11, I started going to the gym. At 13, I started joining countless aerobic marathons and 10Ks. Now, I still run in the mornings and practice yoga in the evenings. You'd think losing weight won't be a problem but you'll be mistaken. Since January, I've been stuck at137 lbs.
So last month, I decided that I had to do something else in order to break that plateau. I read about different diets and came across the Sexy Chef diet online. I have heard about this before and have seen their little store in Gold's Gym. They make meals following the South Beach Diet which has three phases. Phase 1 is two weeks and Phase 2 is another two weeks. I don't think they have a formal Phase 3 since this phase is actually maintenance. Their meals are at Php 875 a day.
Lunch and dinner were delicious considering this was supposed to be a diet! Talk about gourmet, everything was well prepared although portions are, as expected, small. Fortunately, small they may be, the dishes were quite filling. I loved the Shrimp in garlic sauce (gambas). I also love the huge meatballs with cheese inside! They also sent me salad at times but salad was mainly composed of lettuce and cucumbers, but the sauces were always so good! Sample daily menu can be found here.
In Phase 2, they slowly introduced carbs, like whole wheat bread and brown rice. They also started giving desserts like apples, food for the gods, choco chip cookies.

It all started way back in 1998 when Dinemore opened it's first restaurant in Dharmapala Mawatha – Colombo. With humble beginnings, a workforce of seven initially served to a capacity of 80 customers.
Even though International fast food giants were operating franchises in Colombo, Dinemore beat them all in numbers as well as the quality offered with it's unique proposition " So much for so little". The restaurant captured the hearts of the Colombo fast food lovers and became a favourite dining location for many.Eventually Dinemore was forced to expand further with more outlets in Colombo and Kandy to serve the increasing customer demand . A fast food restaurant specialized in Pizza and fried chicken recipes opened later at the popular Moors Sports Club premises in Colombo – 03.
The success of the unique recipes of Dinemore propelled it to become the first Sri Lankan origin international fast food restaurant chain. Dinemore now serves the customers in Maldivian Islands with three outles in Male. Further outlets in different geographical locations will be set up soon making Dinemore a Global Fast food restaurant chain.
While serving the best food for it's customers over the years, Dinemore has also been contributing for the upliftment of the community. The company provides a scholarship for talented and deserving students selected from less affluent families in the society. Through this scholarship the students are paid a monthly payment to be used for their educational expenses, which is provided until they complete their university degree.

PROFILE: The Hilltops' Alt-Country
Jimmy Pitts's favorite Hilltops song, "Mary Jane."
During the late '80s in Oxford, Mississippi, a cover band called The Hi-Tops was making a name for themselves playing songs from the '60s and college radio at frat parties and bars. Tiring of this, the band began penning their own music and changed their name. Made up of John and Laurie Stirratt (they are brother-and-sister twins) and Cary Hudson, they recorded their first album on cassette in '89, titled Holler, in Jackson, Mississippi, followed by Big Black River in '90 at Easley Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
Their music was and is an influence of sounds. Imagine what would happen if The Sex Pistols and Robert Johnson crossed DNA, were raised in a shanty shack upon the back roads of Mississippi, and honed their skills in an old barn or a juke joint managed by Junior Kimbrough. The Hilltops combined old-time country blues, folky-singer/songwriter lyrics, and a garagesque style of punk.
The sound was labeled alt-country but the band, though short-lived, was renamed The Hilltops and they would later contribute to a renaissance of Americana music in Oxford, Mississippi.
The Hilltops scribed tunes of morose melancholy. Sketched shapes of the downtrodden, drew on the mystery of memories from a burnt-out blue-collar America through a new rhythm of words. No other tune says this better than "Broke Down and Busted," where Cary Hudson's whine holds its weight in bourbon and Marlboros as he digs deep to sing of a woman walking down a road lined by weeds, eyes to the ground, hand in hand with a fatherless child. He then draws a picture of a "dirty old town" with "a dirty old man, digging his dinner from a garbage can, sitting on the sidewalk with bottle in hand."
Cary keeps this snapshot of the struggling in the listener's mind. As the bluesy guitar is picked and the harmonica is blown, he sings of a person "standing in the shadows on the edge of night, with open hands and hungry eyes."
Turn your head and walk on by
Yeah, just walk on by
Like a wild wind blowing from town to town
Sleeping under bridges when the rain came down
With a head full of dreams, shoes full of sand,
Broke-down and busted in the promised land.
The last part of the song offers a glimpse of how people like to pretend this ugly doesn't exist, so long as they turn away from it. Pretend it's not there. But it is. It's a tome for the everyday man, woman, and child, haunted by splintered dreams, trying to find some hope in an America that once was but may never be.
After two albums, The Hilltops tenor would disband. Cary and his wife, Laurie, split from her brother, John, who went on to play with Uncle Tupelo and then Wilco. Cary and Laurie formed Blue Mountain, a group that was voted "Oxford's Most Legendary Band" by The Local Voice. Blue Mountain released six albums and a single, then Cary and Laurie divorced. Cary went on to release several solo albums, The Phoenix (2002), Cold Breeze (2004), and Bitter Sweet Blues (2006). Laurie released an album with her brother titled Arabella. She became a member of two bands, Healthy White Baby and The Blacks.
The alt-country movement fired up throughout the U.S. with other bands like Son Volt, The Bottle Rockets, Drive-By Truckers, Slobberbone, Old 97's, The Jayhawks, and Whiskeytown. Son Volt, Wilco, and Drive-By Truckers have built lasting careers and toured all over the world. Whiskeytown's frontman, Ryan Adams, began a solo career, fronted a new band, The Cardinals, and has had much mainstream success.
The bridge that connects these bands is their ability to write about where they come from. What they've felt, seen, and know and relating it through their music without sugar-coating it. Hence, like the soil-stained scribes of Mississippi—Faulkner, Brown, and Hannah—their words come from a real place that holds the pulse of the land, the people, and the times.
The Hilltops are a great place to start if you're interested in the alt-country movement and wanna get that slow bark of adrenaline moving through your veins with some down-and-out Americana while you socialize, sing, stomp your feet, and have a few drinks with an old friend and catch up on the dog days.

The 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards were held in Amsterdam earlier tonight, and as with this year's MTV VMAs, the legend Miley Cyrus stole the show, this time by twerking with a dwarf and smoking a joint onstage. She also made a classy, rap-inspired statement on the red carpet with a backless dress-thing that had images of Biggie and Tupac with words PLEASE STOP VIOLENCE. Cyrus won in the Best Video category for her trouble, not that anyone will remember who received any of these awards (quick, who won Video Of The Year at the VMAs?). Other trophy recipients included One Direction, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Katy Perry, Eminem, and, inexplicably, Green Day (in 2013!). LMFAO's Redfoo hosted, and performances came from Robin Thicke with Iggy Azalea, Katy Perry, Kings Of Leon, Bruno Mars, Eminem, 7 Days Of Funk with Afrojack, the Killers, Imagine Dragons, Icona Pop, and the aforementioned Cyrus (twice). The event's high point may have happened a few hours before showtime, when Daft Punk made a promotional appearance on the streets of Amsterdam on a tandem bicycle with Anchorman Ron Burgundy. Check out some videos and the winners list below.

Miley "Trying Too Hard To Emulate Black Culture" Cyrus is at it again, I see…
Why don't you just call her a "w*gger" while you're at it. Are we still doing the "black people should act like black people" and "white people should act like white people" thing in 2013? Eminem was on the same EMA stage, ya know…
Miley creates controversy by smoking a joint in Amsterdam? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't smoking weed the first thing Amsterdam's tourism board recommends you do upon visiting the country?
skow | Posted on Nov 10th, 2013 +14
That's really a misconception man, it may have been that way in the past but just in the last 10 years the mayor has led a national movement to inform tourists that the first thing you do is buy an eighth of mushrooms and walk around the Van Gogh museum.
I've been trying, but there's absolutely nothing to say about any of this.
Cue: faux-shock
Cue: misogynist slut shaming
Cue: pseudo feminist diatribes on why Miley is *actually* a trail blazing sex positive feminist icon (please stop)
What happened to this website?
I'm confused. First Miley's inveighing against those who would have the gall to stop, and now she's asking that people please stop. She's all over the place, this one.
There must be so many horrible jokes to be made about that dress, I pity the fool who will dare to go in that dark alley of bad humor.
Well, if the majority of performers were north americans, why it's EMAs?
30 Seconds to Mars is alternative. That's all I can say.

FORT EDWARD, N.Y. -- Several witnesses took the stand Friday in the Matthew Slocum's murder trial.
Slocum is accused killing his mother, stepfather and stepbrother last July, and then setting fire to their white creek home.
On Friday, Slocum's ex girlfriend, Lorretta Colgrove, continued her testimony. Jurors also heard from a New York State Police forensic scientist and a member of the Washington County Sheriff's department.
Day five began with more testimony from Loretta Colgrove. At the end of her testimony, public defender Michael Mercure asked her if she signed immunity papers before her grand jury testimony last year. Colgrove replied that she didn't remember.
Following her testimony, Sergeant Nick Cezeo took the stand. He is the Washington County Sheriff Deputy who drove Slocum back from New Hampshire following his arrest.
Jurors also heard from NYSP Forensic Scientist Melissa Breedlove. She collected blood samples from much of the evidence found at the crime scene, including the alleged murder weapon, a 12-gage shotgun.
She also testified that the shorts Slocum was allegedly wearing contained blood but the shirt did not. The trial resumes next week.
