Outsourcing the Delivery of Human Services
By Evelyn Bandoh
Privatization involves the provision of publicly funded services by nongovernment entities. Privatization can take several forms, including the cessation of services by government, the outsourcing of services by government, the divestiture of government assets and the use of public-private partnerships. Outsourcing has become a common approach to provide human services as states and localities face budget crises and struggle to ensure the same level of services with limited resources. Although privatization has been prevalent in the United States since the late 19th century, current privatization schemes are more structured and formalized. Government is increasingly turning to nonprofit groups, community-based organizations (CBOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs), charitable agencies, and private-sector companies to provide human services.
A major change to the privatization landscape occurred with the enactment of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) in 1996. TANF funds are distributed to states through a block grant, and the program affords states and localities more discretion and flexibility in administering public cash assistance. Furthermore, TANF eliminated the requirement that public employees must determine client eligibility. This change allows government agencies to contract with nongovernment organizations. The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 also promotes privatization. WIA's requirement that training services be contracted out and its strong focus on measurable outcomes have increased flexibility and created more privatization opportunities. Consequently, many employment training programs have been outsourced or privatized, using performance-based contracts to meet legislative objectives.
Although the terms "privatization" and "outsourcing" are often used interchangeably, the two service structures are different. With privatization, program infrastructure is transferred entirely from the government to another service provider. The government ceases to provide those services. With outsourcing, the government competitively contracts with a vendor to provide specific services. Most outsourced functions involve transferring responsibilities for the management, operation, upgrade, and maintenance of some infrastructure to the contracted vendor, with the government agency retaining a central role in program oversight.
Outsourcing the delivery of human services is the main focus of this
Issue Note
. The note provides an overview of the issue and suggests resources for more information. It also discusses how states and localities can ensure fair and competitive contracting processes; ensure equal access, due process, and customer satisfaction; and ensure outsourcing opportunities for faith- and community-based organizations. More information on outsourcing can be found on The Finance Project web page on
Outsourcing and Privatization
. To learn more about the involvement of faith- and community-based organizations, visit
Policy Issues
Many factors are driving government to outsource the delivery of human services. Topping the list is a desire to improve service, increase efficiency, and ensure cost-effectiveness. However, the outsourcing process requires serious consideration on political, philosophical, and economic grounds.
What criteria should be used when determining whether to contract out for services?
It is important to have criteria to distinguish what services and programs would be the best outsourcing candidates. Criteria could include costs in terms of initial outlays and possible savings as well as the derived benefits and programmatic outcomes of outsourcing. Other motivations for outsourcing include considerations of current technology needs, the skill set of employees presently employed, and the skill set needed to execute efficient programs. Enhanced technology and a more specialized skill set may be achieved more quickly through outsourcing or by creating a partnership to administer human services programs. For example, after conducting the annual Texas Performance Review in 1999, officials found deficiencies within the health and human services system. Following extensive studies, the state accepted the recommendation to increase productivity and performance by competitively bidding such processes as the purchase of
Medicaid managed care services and the claims processing functions of the Texas Department of Health's Vendor Drug Program. To learn more about Texas' process, visit
. Also see U.S. General Accounting Office, Privatization: Questions State and Local Decisionmakers Used When Considering Privatization Options, GAO/GGD-98-87 (Washington, D.C., April 1998), at
In determining whether to outsource the delivery of services, a cost-benefit analysis is valuable. The objective of this analysis is to improve the clarity, credibility, and usefulness of the information for decisionmaking purposes. For cost estimates and comparisons to be helpful, they must be completed in a consistent and systematic manner. One issue is the ability to accurately calculate the government agency's true costs and the savings as a result of contracting out. A second issue is the ability to assign a monetary value to the improvements arising from the contracting out of public services.
Although cost savings and performance may increase, it is important to weigh the benefits of the savings against the impact on the clients receiving the service. For example, will the outsourced service remain accessible to the client? Will the service be of the same quality? Will the service be equitable? Other factors that are important to consider are the administrative and technological support systems needed, the client base to be served, the type of program to be contracted out, and any desired objectives. The Office of Child Support Enforcement within the Administration for Children and Families has created various feasibility and cost-benefit analysis guides. To access the clearinghouse of these tools, visit
What steps should state or local government take to ensure a competitive contract process?
Competition is the driving force behind outsourcing the delivery of services, so it is important to ensure fair and equitable competition during contract bidding and renewal. Although contracting out for services can increase efficiency and flexibility in service delivery, unequal access to outsourcing opportunities may thwart the desired objectives and outcomes. Contract administrators need to design and conduct a fair and competitive process while navigating any politics tied to that process.
Good contract management starts with the request for proposal (RFP), in which states and localities delineate the services desired and the objectives to be achieved. The bidders then submit a proposal that includes their strategic plan and cost estimates for meeting the stated requirements. Determining who will be allowed to vie for government outsourcing contracts can also be controlled through the RFP process. State and local governments can outline the qualities and characteristics they are looking for in a service provider. Defining these requirements in writing will help weed out service providers who may not fit the requirements. For more information on state contracting, see Keri Stock, "RFP 101,"
American City &
. For specific information on RFPs for workforce programs, see Jim Callahan and Keith Massey,
The WIA Youth Program RFP Guide
(Washington, D.C.: U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, n.d.), at
Another way to encourage a fair and competitive contracting process is for proposal seekers to reach out to prospective bidders and provide technical assistance to them. Bid preparation is a costly and time-consuming process. An experienced and well-performing incumbent contractor will have a competitive advantage over a neophyte bidder with less of a track record. Outreach and technical assistance can help reestablish competition in the RFP process. Especially useful strategies are hosting a meeting to explain the bid requirements or designating a contact person within the agency to answer proposal questions. Another tool to encourage a competitive bidding process is for government to provide capacity-building grants to help level the playing field between large private firms and smaller community-based organizations. Proposal seekers can also call for contracts that are smaller in size and scope to encourage smaller organizations to participate in the bidding process. For more information, see William Eggers,
Talking Points: Competitive Neutrality: Ensuring a Level Playing Field in Managed Competitions
(Los Angeles, Calif.: Reason Public Policy Institute, 1998), at
What are the most appropriate terms for a competitive outsourcing contract?
Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., suggests that effective contract relationships begin with a suitable match between the services required and the type of contract drafted. Typically, there are at least three types of contracts that a government agency can use.
Fixed-Price Contracts. Under fixed-price contracts, the amount a contractor will receive is established in advance and cannot be changed unless the contract is amended.
Cost-Reimbursement Contracts. Cost-reimbursement contracts set payments in line with the costs incurred by the contractor.
Performance-Based Contracts. Performance-based contracts provide for payment to contractors as they accomplish predetermined results. Payments can be related to services performed by the contractor, such as recruiting and enrolling a target number of clients in a training program. Performance can also be defined according to outcomes achieved by clients.
Insisting on a one-size-fits-all approach is inappropriate. Instead a government contract should incorporate characteristics of differing types of contracts to create one that fits the scope and nature of the outsourced program.
The three types of contracts have both advantages and drawbacks. For example, a fixed-price contract is predictable, but often it cannot be adapted to address unforeseen circumstances, such as an overrun in operational costs or an increase in the demand for services. Performance contracts can be helpful in achieving policy goals, but data collection and reporting can be burdensome to providers and changes to the economy or policy environment can unexpectedly increase costs or impede client progress. In addition, performance-based contracts are frequently structured such that contractors must incur large upfront costs because they do not get paid until they achieve the performance measures. According to Mathematica, this drawback resulted in the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare switching from performance-based contracts to cost-based contracts to operate its employment training program Community Solutions. For more information on the Pennsylvania situation, see Diane Paulsell and Ali Stieglitz, Implementing Employment Retention Services in Pennsylvania: Lessons from Community Solutions

TYPES OF CONTRACTS (10/1997) describes the types of contracts available for outsourcing. See
What capacity does a state or local government need to manage outsourcing contracts
Outsourcing requires a relationship among all parties involved and strong skills in program design, planning, and evaluation. Usually the state or locality will administer the contract and grant the contractor the right to determine the policies and procedures of service delivery. A defined plan of action and open communications are imperative, and all parties involved must agree on objectives, expectations, performance requirements, and compensation. The contract is usually designed to afford the contractor flexibility to administer the programs, while also supporting the goals and policies of the government agency. The parties need to agree on what and how services will be provided. At the same time, staff managing the contracts will need significant training. Not only will the managing staff need to be well versed in contracting, they will also need to have a good understanding of the policies and procedures governing the contract.
To manage outsourcing contracts, some state and local agencies use a partnership approach with the contractor. The usual relationship between a state or local agency and a contractor is one of compliance, monitoring, and implementation. With the partnership method, states and localities are turning more toward technical assistance and other strategies to increase the chances of contract and client success. The partnership approach to contract management is often successful when the contractor is a small community-based or faith-based organization.
Contracts also have time limits, so management of the renewal/rebidding process is important. One of the main goals of state and local agencies is to minimize the disruption of services when contracts are ready to expire and/or coming up for renewal. An agency will not want to continue a contract that does not meet performance and cost objectives. Yet, except to improve results, regularly terminating contracts may not be efficient nor cost-effective. New contracts will have large front-end costs. Moreover, clients being served by the program often benefit from program stability and continuity of service. For more information, see Jessica Yates, "Managing the Contracting Process for Results in Welfare Reform,"
Issue Note
(November 1998), The Finance Project, Washington, D.C., at
What capacity does a state or locality need to evaluate
a contract?
A state or locality can enhance it's capacity to evaluate an outsourced program by maintaining regulatory oversight of the program and by having the contract clearly define terms and conditions, technical specifications, and quality assurance systems. Government entities should monitor contracts to ensure all activities are being carried out according to schedule and that services are being delivered in a timely and efficient manner. Information gleaned from the monitoring can be used in the continuous improvement of the contract and of program implementation. Phasing in periodic reporting systems throughout the outsourcing period can be effective because such systems can identify the status of all activities scheduled for completion and help the government agency retain oversight of the outsourced program.
Another way that states or localities can evaluate a contract is through performance-based benchmarks. This method ties into the contract's compensation structure and allows the contractor to be properly compensated based on reaching predetermined performance benchmarks. To include client satisfaction in performance monitoring, site visits and satisfaction surveys can be administered to ensure clients of the outsourced program are satisfied with the level and quality of services they are receiving (see the description of Wisconsin's W-2 program in Innovative Practices).
At the same time, too much contract evaluation can produce diminishing returns. Establishing extreme regulatory oversight may have unintentional consequences and hinder the contractor's ability to provide efficient services. For example, if benchmarks are quantitatively oriented, contractors may neglect qualitative goals such as customer service and satisfaction. Contracts relying solely on performance outcomes can cause contractors to focus on easier-to-serve clients, which can greatly skew results. It is important to weigh contract and program objectives against the need for regulatory oversight when evaluating an outsourcing contract. For more information, see Jessica Yates, "Contracting for Performance in Welfare Reform,"
Resource Note
(September 1997), The Finance Project, Washington, D.C., at
What are the costs of contracting out for services?
Contracting out for the delivery of services poses administrative challenges, and it may require a large initial investment. Administrative challenges
including measuring performance, administering contracts, overseeing the employees, ensuring a level playing field, and determining responsibility and accountability
lead to higher explicit and implicit costs. To produce the optimal mix of services, a government agency should be aware not only of the pure accounting cost (regulatory, administrative, transaction, and efficiency), but also of the economic (implicit) cost. Once the government agency is aware of the various costs, it should include these costs as a consideration in its cost-benefit analysis.
There is also the economic problem of asymmetrical information. This problem occurs when information is not shared among parties equally. Asymmetrical information may result in adverse selection. When for various reasons the government cannot select the best-qualified vendor. The scenario can also lead to unexpected cost overruns that outweigh the perceived benefits of outsourcing service delivery. This is why it is essential to develop effective RFPs and protect the integrity of the procurement process. For additional guidance, see David H. Greenberg and Ute Appenzeller,

What steps can states and localities take to ensure equal access, due process, and customer satisfaction?
States and localities will want to monitor client satisfaction. This can be accomplished through site visits and satisfaction surveys.
It is also helpful to develop clear grievance procedures.
When services are outsourced, states and localities must also ensure client confidentiality and agency transparency. For this reason it is important for the contractors to adopt ideals, service principles, and administrative requirements that are similar to those of the state or locality. What recourse would clients have if they believed their procedural and substantive due process rights were violated? A chief accountability objective for states and localities is to ensure these customers have a forum to voice their concerns and opinions.
The contracting agency will need to determine if
the private contractor is a government employee or strictly a private contractor? What laws and procedures govern the contractor's actions? When private organizations take on a pseudo government role of providing public services, they may be considered state actors. Determining state actor status is important, because state actors may face the same liabilities and due process and constitutional guidelines as government entities. An important caveat is that private contractors are not commonly held to administrative procedure acts and public information laws.
Specific to disabled clients being served by outsourced programs, a Welfare Law Center manual,
Using the ADA to Protect the Rights of Individuals with Disabilities in TANF Programs
aims to help program practitioners use the American Disabilities Act to identify core concepts that all programs should embody, such as the right to individualized treatment, the right to equal and meaningful access to services, and the right to reasonable program modifications.

States and localities may want to incorporate the ideals of the model Public Services Accountability Act of 2001 into an outsourcing contract. The Center for Policy Alternatives has proposed the legislation to serve as a policy model to improve public oversight and accountability of outsourcing contracts and help ensure that recipients receive high-quality public services.

What steps are needed to ensure outsourcing opportunities for faith- and community-based organizations?
FBOs and CBOs have made inroads as service providers for government agencies. Yet these organizations may be at a disadvantage compared with private companies, which often have better technology, employees with multiple skill sets, stable finances, and more resources. Many initiatives geared to CBOs, and more recently to FBOs, seek to achieve a better balance. For example, President Bush's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, works to "expand opportunities for faith-based and other community organizations and strengthen their capacity to better meet social needs in America's communities" (see http://www.whitehouse.gov/government/fbci/index.html). Coordinating centers for faith- and community-based initiatives can also be found in the U.S Departments of Justice, Labor, Education, Health and Human Services, and Housing and Urban Development (see Resource Contacts). For more information regarding the participation of FBOs and CBOs in service delivery, see Rachel M. Haberkern, "Implementing Charitable Choice at the State and Local Levels,"
Issue Note
(July 2002), The Finance Project, Washington, D.C., at
As the demand increases for more involvement in service delivery by faith- and community-based organizations, special funding pr
ograms are being created to promote their participation in the contracting process. For example, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) is a $30-million fund that Congress appropriated to HHS in January 2002. CCF seeks to expand the role faith-based and community groups play in providing social services by offering financial support
For more information on CCF, visit the HHS information page at
To help ensure a competitive and equal contracting process, states and localities can provide technical assistance to guide FBOs and CBOs through the RFP process. In addition, they can create outsourcing contracts of varying scope. In this way, an FBO or CBO that cannot feasibly compete for the larger contracts can still compete in the bidding for the smaller contracts. The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has made grants specific to WIA available to aid faith- and community-based organizations, most of which are new participants in the WIA system. For more information, visit the ETA web page at
Research Findings
A recent U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) study (June 2002) found that outsourcing occurs in almost every state and exceeded $1.5 billion in federal TANF and state maintenance-of-effort (MOE) funds in 2001. This level of contracting accounts for at least 13 percent of total federal TANF and state MOE funds expended for services. Furthermore, approximately 87 percent of the total funds contracted by state governments and 73 percent of the contracts are with nonprofit providers.
There is very little empirical evidence on the success and failure rates of outsourcing. Some research has taken a broad approach by analyzing the entire outsourcing process. Recent publications by Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., in Washington, D.C., and the Welfare Law Center in New York City carefully review issues tied to the outsourcing of TANF-related services.
Mathematica's report by Winston et al.,
Privatization of Welfare Services: A Review of the Literature
, discusses the recent interest in outsourcing as well as examines the current state of human services outsourcing, the decision to outsource human services programs, and the challenges faced in outsourcing human services. Highlighted challenges include guaranteeing competition, developing effective RFPs and contracts, monitoring contractor performance, addressing political opposition, involving community-based organizations, and protecting the integrity of the procurement process.
The Welfare Law Center's "Uncharted Terrain: The Intersection of Privatization and Welfare" by Freedman et al., at
, looks at trends in human services outsourcing since 1996, outsourcing's pros, cons, and key players, and strategies for advocates concerned about policy and litigation to protect the rights of low-income clients. The researchers emphasize that advocates must consider the consequences of the shift in legal ground rules from those derived from administrative law to those based on contract law. The authors suggest that consumers or their representatives be involved at all levels of the contracting process to protect the interests of low-income individuals and to promote the delivery of high quality services.
Current research also shows that more and more human services programs differ, however, in how amenable they are to outsourcing. For example, the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 mandates contracting for training services and encourages competition in the selection of administrative entities for one-stop career centers. For-profit companies, local workforce boards, and faith- and community-based organizations are managing the operation of one-stop centers in states such as Florida, Massachusetts, Texas, and Wisconsin.
Child support enforcement is another human services program that is being outsourced to a greater extent than ever before. One contractor, Policy Studies Inc., operates in 16 states. Legislative mandates, federal performance incentives, and technology encourage the outsourcing. State and local governments are outsourcing entire programs as well as specific tasks, such as payment processing and parent locating. GAO (1998) reported that as of 1996, one or more fully outsourced child support enforcement offices existed in 15 states.
The last few years have also seen substantial changes in the scope of service delivery. Several large organizations, including Curtis, MAXIMUS, Goodwill Industries, and Catholic Charities, have gone from providing specific functions, such as systems implementation and support, to controlling entire processes, such as eligibility determination. Other players include ACS, YWCA, Lockheed-Martin, America Works, and Lutheran Social Services.
In terms of contract evaluation, a
recent GAO report found that federal oversight of state and local contracting could be strengthened. The federal agency identified several contracting problems, including weak internal controls in more than 25 percent of the states nationwide, inadequate state reviews and single audits of subrecipients of grant funding, inconsistent performance reviews of contractors, and inadequate state fiscal and program monitoring of local workforce boards. Furthermore, states and localities often fail to use due diligence when delineating the objectives and outcomes of contracts. GAO recommends that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services use state single audit reports in a more systematic manner to identify the nature and extent of contracting problems. See U.S. General Accounting Office,
Federal Oversight of State and Local Contracting Can Be Strengthened
, GAO-02-661 (Washington, D.C., 2002), at
Innovative Practices
. On July 9, 2002, Florida received federal approval of a waiver allowing staff of private-for-profit workforce providers to perform some food stamp eligibility determination. Proponents hope to provide seamless service delivery.
Under the pilot program, TANF services will be totally privatized and services provided by a contracted vendor; eligibility duties for the Medicaid and Food Stamp programs will be shared by the Florida Department of Children and Families and the contracted vendor.
A waiver was necessary because of regulations that limit agencies' ability to outsource eligibility determination. Section 1902 (a)(5) of the Social Security Act prohibits state agencies from allowing nonpublic employees to determine Medicaid eligibility. Section 1902 (a)(4) states that eligibility employees are subject to the same merit system personnel standards of public employees.
Section 11 (6)(A) and (B) of the Food Stamp Act of 1977 says that state agency personnel used in a certification process must be employed in accordance with the current standards for a merit system and that the state agency employees meeting this requirement must perform the interviews required.
Beginning in May 1997, the state took steps to launch the pilot program. The legislature approved a proposal to develop demonstration to test the feasibility of privatizing the functions of the Florida Welfare Transition Program. This process culminated in July 2002 with the approval of the waiver for the pilot program. Other important dates include November 2000, when service providers with fully trained staff started to provide client services; and April and May 2002, when Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough Counties signed pilot eligibility contracts with their regional workforce boards.
The pilot program aims to test the concept of privatization, create innovative service delivery strategies in a one-stop environment, improve client services through the realignment of job responsibilities, promote work and career advancement at initial and subsequent client interviews, and develop an experimental base for future expansion of eligibility privatization. Among the groups that will be served under the pilot program in Palm Beach, Hillsborough, and Pinellas Counties are time-limited, work-eligible applicants and recipients who receive cash assistance and who may also apply for and receive food stamps and/or Medicaid. In Pasco County, the pilot program will only serve families with children that receive cash assistance and may also apply for and receive food stamps and/or Medicaid. All other families or individuals applying for food stamps or Medicaid fall outside the scope of the pilot program and will continue to have their eligibility determined by Florida merit employees.

In October 2002, the U.S. Department of Labor's Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives announced a new partnership in Memphis, Tennessee. The pilot program seeks to foster cooperation among the local workforce investment board (WIB), elected officials, grassroots organizations, and faith- and community-based groups to improve employment outcomes for residents of Memphis. (A second pilot site is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.)
Created by executive order, the center's mission is to help engage more faith- and community-based organizations in public service delivery by alleviating barriers to cooperation. The center is focusing on the local level, because 85 percent of the Labor Department's formula grants are passed through to local workforce investment boards that provide services. Proponents of the pilot program hope to create a successful model of collaboration that can be replicated nationwide.
To select the pilot site, the Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives spoke to various local workforce investment boards. Memphis was chosen because of the vigor of its faith-based community, its high degree of support from local, political, and community leaders, and its high level of support and enthusiasm from the local workforce board. Still in the initial planning stages, the design of the pilot program is a collaboration involving the center, the local workforce board, local faith- and community-based groups, and other community stakeholders. The planning process may include focus groups, town hall meetings, and conferences and training sessions. Program planning and implementation is slated to take a year, with a launch date scheduled for early October 2003.

In September 1997, Wisconsin replaced its AFDC program with the Wisconsin Works (W-2) program. Wisconsin Works is based on work participation and personal responsibility and is available to low-income parents with minor children. Eligible participants meet with financial and employment planners who help them develop self-sufficiency plans and determine their place on the W-2 employment ladder. The ladder has four levels: unsubsidized employment, trial jobs, community service jobs, and W-2 transition. For more information on the ladder and the program, visit
To date, W-2 has gone through three contracting periods; it is now preparing for the fourth round of contracts (2004
05). In round one (September 1997
September 1999), the contractors
namely, the counties
were chosen based on performance during the pre-W-2 Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training program. The county agencies that met the performance measures during the pre-W-2 program were granted right of first selection (RFS), which enabled them to circumvent the regular competitive RFP process. RFS agencies were still required to submit extensive work plans for approval. County agencies that did not meet the performance standards had to compete in the regular RFP process along with the private agencies bidding in their counties.
During round two (2000
01), private agencies that met the performance criteria could become RFS agencies. New financial and programmatic guidelines were issued that outlined additional benchmark criteria for RFS qualification. Round three spanned two years (January 2002
December 2003) and focused on continuous improvement. During this round, 67 agencies successfully completed the W-2 contract award process.
Providers of W-2 services include both for-profit and nonprofit private entities, such as MAXIMUS, Inc., The Kaiser Group, Inc., The Opportunities Industrialization Center of Greater Milwaukee, and Curtis Associates, Inc. All providers, regardless of their sector, are held to the same performance standards. An advisory group composed of representatives from private and county agencies provides input on a continuous basis.
During the first round of contracting, all private agencies had to participate in the competitive process to become a W-2 agency. In the subsequent rounds, Kaiser won RFS status and did not have to go through the competitive process. Kaiser's W-2 plan was accepted by the state and Kaiser was again awarded the contract to provide W-2 services in Walworth County. During the current fourth round, preliminary results were just released, and Kaiser is among the 18 W-2 agencies that met the RFS criteria.
Through its involvement in the W-2 process, Kaiser has gained some valuable insight on the importance of being an active and partner with the state in administering the W-2 program. As a member of the W-2 Contract and Implementation Committee since 1997, Kaiser staff have been able to volunteer for workgroups involved in developing policy and piloting aspects of the program. Also important to Kaiser's success is keeping abreast of TANF and TANF-related issues on the federal and state levels. Staying aware of the policy issues helps Kaiser keep its programs cutting edge.
To date, there have been no formal evaluations of the W-2 contracting process, but officials say it is an iterative process with constant problem solving, policy changes, and monitoring. During round four, W-2 officials will reevaluate performance standards and make any necessary changes. Lending continuity in service delivery, only one provider will not return for the next contracting round and a few providers have picked up additional contracts. For more information on the W-2 program and the technical aspects of the contracts, visit the W-2 resources page at
. For additional insight into a W-2 contractor's experience, contact Marilyn Putz, operations manager, Kaiser Group

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Saturday Night Hockey Notes
by Paul on 02/09/13 at 08:48 PM ET
Comments (1)
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
- I see where Chuck Fletcher has given Minnesota coach Mike Yeo an early season vote of confidence, which is nice. Except you have to wonder what Wild owner Craig Leopold is thinking of his hockey team after spending all that money and getting less than ordinary results.
- George McPhee is shoveling it pretty well these days, attributing the terrible start of his Washington Capitals to bad penalties and weak goaltending. But he knows better than that.
The GM on the hot seat has to know his team lacks structure on the ice, gives the puck away way too often in bad places, runs around in its own end without a sense of defensive-zone coverage, and frankly, looks like there is some kind of disconnect between first year coach Adam Oates and his players.
McPhee has been careful not to question Oates in public but it's clear the Caps are in need of a way to play to succeed. They found it in last year's playoffs with Dale Hunter.
The freeing up of the players, under Oates, has been something of a disaster to date.
more hockey notes including a look at the Phil Kessel trade talk...
Filed in: NHL Teams, | KK Hockey | Permalink
I think the Leafs should trade Kessel and he should also ask for a trade. He will never be respected in Toronto, even if he scored 100 goals a season. That goes for any American trying to succeed in a Canadian market. I would never encourage any American above that of a role player to suit up north of the border. No matter how good you are, you will be questioned, second guessed, minimized and at worst mocked. Why would anyone in their right mind ask for that treatment. At best an American can be accepted, but only if they are very good and very consistent. It isn't worth it and it will actually reduce your market value. Move on Kessel, move on!!!

I understand the frustrations of bathing suit shopping! Be careful of which tanktini you get. I loved the idea more than how its turned out. The suit may shrink a little if you wash and dry the suit via machine. It also may swim faster than you do and show off most of your torso. I almost feel like I have to hold the bottom of my top down so it doesn't slide up when I am under water. They also have the history of being a bit heavier/thicker than a one-piece suit so you might get more wear out of it. That being said it would be easier to replace just the bottoms. I would check out old navy. They have not very expensive suits in many styles and you can purchase more than one set of bottoms (i like that they have many styles of bottoms for those who like perhaps a little more coverage for their landscape). Sorry for the chattering!
ReplyDeletegirl, you are braver than I. this year I'm considering skipping the bathing suit altogether because the thought of trying them on, paying for one, and then having to wear it horrifies me. There is a remote possibility of me checking out Target sometime soon...
My weekend wish is to get our hardwood floor really started in the kitchen, have some good coffee and beer, and maybe get a little sewing in.
that circle dress is amazing!!!!!
I need you to be calm next week, and inspire me to go sew, so I can calm down...my hubby's about to be away for work for two straight weeks! And on the opposite coast, which makes evening calls tougher :( Even worse, he's going to Vegas and Seattle. Why do they send him such fun places?
My brother works at Spanx, so I may take the plunge and get a suit from there. He can get them for not a million dollars, yay! I can't wear regular one-pieces, because I have a long torso, so I need to find a good tankini! I don't think mamagut is ever going away. I'm suprised you aren't going to attempt to make your own suit, or bottom!
I need to go order yards and yards of that lovely Amy Butler Lotus fabric you used in Harper's sweetheart dress, so I can get lovely packages when stuck home alone next week! You think that will make good curtains, not too busy? It's a good-size, vaulted ceiling, 3-window master bedroom. I'm going to start girling it up it there! Teach that boy to go to Vegas without me!
Swimsuit shopping is the worst. BUT...I had a friend swear by this new suit she got, so I decided to order it and just see. And OMG!!! It is amazing! Don't laugh...it's from Walmart. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Suddenly-Slim-by-Catalina-Women-s-Shirred-Halter-Swimsuit/17804485 I got the black and white polka dot and it looks awesome on. Holds you in in all the right places and it has a retro vibe that I really like. It has tons of good reviews and the price is right! Anyway, just thought I'd share because I haven't been this excited about how I look/feel in a swimsuit in a while. :) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSo these suits aren't exactly the cheapest but all my mom-friends of all ages are just raving about the Diviine Modestee bathing suits for being cute, figure-friendly, LONG ENOUGH TANKINIS (how hard is that to figure out, every other company out there?!) and good enough for The Girls. What's funniest to me is how many of my friends have the suits but somehow nobody has the same ones! We had a DIY spa night / hot tub party the other week and there were at least five ladies sporting these things. I saw them on mamabargains or babysteals or something like that a while back but I was preggo so I didn't... some people say since they're so long they work but one of my friends advised me that they are two layers and the under layer is pretty snug (part of why it's so flattering) so it wouldn't likely actually work great for me this year.
You know where else can be really good for bathing suits and surprisingly not all that pricey? La Vie En Rose. Do you guys have those out West? If so, check it out - they usually have a decent bathing suit collection and I've had surprisingly good luck there. (And - not expensive, so even better).
Good luck to you - and enjoy your weekend! Jealous of sewing and knitting groups!!
I got this last year at target... Love it, i moved the halter top straps in a bit more so it was more supportive but It perfectly hides the extra curves of mommyhood while providing support : ) I did not even try it on at the store because i got it with my daughter with me, ya know with a 6 month old that does not go so well. BUT I love it and it looser then most!
Thought id help.. enjoy the sunshine, we have chilly sunshine here in cleveland.
Well my goal this year is to MAKE my swimming suit. Several reasons for this, 1) I have the fabric and I love it. 2) I don't have to try it on at the store while my children are running around. 3) I can get the perfect fit for me. 4) Katy from No Big Dill makes it look easy!
I did run across this article that has some great ideas for helping with our bodies 'trouble spots' and what to look for in a suit that will detract from that :)
Good Luck and have a fun Momma weekend, knitting and sewing it up!
Costco has some cute suits right now. I think some tankinis and one piece suits that were cute. Only for another week though, I think. Old Navy had some adorable one piece suits not long ago. And Joe (Superstore) had really cute suits last year. I'd check them out too.
ReplyDeleteAnd this site has really cute suits too! http://www.limericki.com/WOMEN
ReplyDeletei got a bathing suit last summer online from www.limerikki.com ... I LOOOOOVE IT!..the top is long enough to not bunch up like crazy and the bottoms fits pretty decent (who likes showing off their bum in public anyway?)...shipping was within a week or two (i think from utah to ontario, canada) and the price wasn't that bad...seriously..most favourite bathing suit i have ever owned...and i'm not worried about my tatas hanging out in front of a bunch of kids..haha!...i know this post sounds like an infomercial but i totally love this bathing suit...(follow the sizes exactly on the website though..i thought it was a little off but when i got it it fit great...and i'm no skinny mini..haha :) ) anyways...love your site...love that it's canadian :) ..we have family living out in bc so it's fun reading your crafty blog :)

CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2010 Ford Fusion has a massive number of NHTSA complaints (over 1,000) about sudden deceleration while driving.
The Federal investigation was closed in March 2014 when Ford agreed to a voluntary "customer satisfaction program" covering 1.6 million vehicles that extends the warranty on the throttle body to 10 years/150,000 miles.
Unfortunately it's not a recall, so Fusion owners have to wait for the inconvenience of the throttle body failing before Ford will fix it.

Message: Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 9:00 am Instructor: Graham Standish Seminar: LS701, $99 Dates: February 4-15 Registration Deadline: January 25 Description: Before making any decisions, Jesus prayed, seeking God's will. How often is this the foundation of decisions in our congregations? Most of our churches are wedded more to following particular rules for debate and decision-making than they are to prayer. But what if you could find a way to root your board, committee, and congregational decisions in Jesus' model of prayer and discernment? What if you could train your leaders follow God's guidance? This two-week seminar will provide the opportunity for you to discover and discuss new ways of being a church grounded in prayer and discernment with Graham Standish, author of Becoming a Blessed Church. .

"Read by Quagmire from Family Guy..."
Gottman is a seasoned expert on the subject of successful relationships.
The samples of dialogue between the therapist and various couples helped illustrate principles to me.
No :( His tone and inflection were the same for all samples of dialogue - but that's not really a big deal to me. What continually took me out of the book was how much he sounds like Quagmire from Family Guy.
Want to know if you're going to get divorced? The answers are inside...
"Nostalgia strikes like a super smash brother"
The writing was top notch, but it was the performance from Ray Porter that really elevated this book for me. I've listened to it multiple times now as if it's a favorite movie.
The story was told with nuance, wit, and balance. It never felt like a piece of Nintendo propaganda, and it never felt like a chance for an outsider to tear the big N to pieces. Combined with the fact that it makes genuinely insightful observations into all kinds of elements of pop and video game culture, I was riveted while I listened and reflective after I pushed pause.
He has such a dynamic, engaging voice, and he reads with all the flourish and confidence of a seasoned actor. This wasn't just someone reading words off of a page. This brought the words to emotive life.
I did! I laughed out loud several times - and I don't doubt that it came from a combination of the excellent writing and the superb performance from Ray Porter.

ACLU Letter Opposing Death Penalty Amendment to the Senate Hate Crimes Provision
July 20, 2009
On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a non-partisan organization with more than a half million members, countless activists and supporters, and fifty-three affiliates nationwide, we write to urge you to oppose Senate Amendment 1615, being offered by Senator Jeff Sessions (RAL) to the National Defense Authorization Act (S. 1390). This unconstitutional and misguided amendment seeks to expand the reach of the federal death penalty, including to non-homicide crimes, by adding it to a hate crimes provision that the Senate adopted by unanimous consent on Thursday night.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
From the reviews:
"This book gives an in-depth overview of the history of SETI … . if you're interested in Extraterrestrial Intelligence, though not necessarily in radio-astronomy and the specific SETI projects, this book is a good encyclopedia type of book. If you manage to read it all from cover to cover, you'll be certainly able to impress anyone coming to ask you whether you've seen little green men while observing Mars or anyone trying to corner you with questions about aliens." (Kadri Tinn, AstroMadness.com, September, 2013)
"From October 30 to November 3, 1961, a small group of experts from a wide range of disciplines met in an attempt to estimate the number of technological civilizations in the galaxy. This book is a celebration of that meeting, and it is fitting that its 30 articles are written by experts from diverse fields. … the material is accessible to a lay audience, and the writing is generally clear and engaging. … Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readership levels." (T. Barker, Choice, Vol. 49 (4), December, 2011)
"It is fascinating to see how much has changed, and how much hasn't changed, with the arrival of this hefty tome nearly half a century later. … if you have a serious interest in SETI, this book provides the wide, eye-opening overview that other book lack. A must buy." (Keith Cooper, Astronomy Now, June, 2011)
This book is a collection of essays written by the very scientists and engineers who have led, and continue to lead, the scientific quest known as SETI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Divided into three parts, the first section, 'The Spirit of SETI Past', written by the surviving pioneers of this then emerging discipline, reviews the major projects undertaken during the first 50 years of SETI science and the results of that research.
In the second section, 'The Spirit of SETI Present', the present-day science and technology is discussed in detail, providing the technical background to contemporary SETI instruments, experiments, and analytical techniques, including the processing of the received signals to extract potential alien communications.
In the third and final section, 'The Spirit of SETI Future', the book looks ahead to the possible directions that SETI will take in the next 50 years, addressing such important topics as interstellar message construction, the risks and assumptions of interstellar communications, when we might make contact, what aliens might look like and what is likely to happen in the aftermath of such a contact.


text: I tend to disagree with this one, although there are certainly encounters with Leo which I would not volunteer that I'm carrying. Mostly due to the reason or the personality of the cop him/her self. In general tho most Leo's are first and last worried about an armed BG in any contact. It makes sense to me to advise the Leo right up front that I am carrying legally. I feel this would put him/her more at ease knowing the extent of the situation than they normally would be. Anything that demonstrate my honesty, willingness to cooperate, and that I'm a good guy can only make my encounter more positive IMHO

Just back from spending the better part of the week in Dallas , Texas. Our team stayed @ the Hotel Palomar,which is part of the Kimpton Hotels boutique group. It was not only well situated, adjacent to our meetings in the Highland Park & Preston Hollow enclaves , but was also very calm and spacious. After a couple of days immersed in my present world of "material lifestyle " , i.e. discussing $ 10- $30 MM residential projects of oil & tech fortunes , the Kimpton in-house " MIND-BODY-SPA" experience for business travelers took me back on track to my personal focus. The Palomar is not only the location of the Dallas branch of Exhale ( group classes) , but has a dedicated cable channel with Rodney Yee, Guided Meditation , Pilates & more available 24-7. One can request a yoga mat& props from the Concierge. So I did practice with Rodney Y. in the AM and did guided meditation Thursday evening before dinner. Central 214, the in-house resto @ the Palomar has great vegetarian options for breakfast & dinner :Egg white omelets with asparagus, Portobello mushroom ravioli, great baguette & hummus ( mais oui, my French associates approved ). The airiness of the public spaces felt great to decompress in after the end of the workday ; the absence of a frenetic lobby "scene" like a W or 60 Thompson Hotel was an added bonus. |

Anonymous Coward 32938997
You think you know anything? People are so certain about their "facts" that their smugness reeks. Ever consider that everything you think you know is false? That you've been lied to, since birth, about the real true power structures in the world.
C'mon, open your effing mind! Presidential leaders and dictators are merely actors on the world stage. The axis of evil is being slowly defeated and taken over but guess what? The so-called axis of evil were simply nations that have refused to be bought out by the zionist new world order. Time is running out...
Anonymous Coward 34024362
Of course, I've been reading about it for years! That still doesn't mean that everything is a conspiracy. There is no axis of evil; a phrase Bush coined. I questioned the Iraq war when everyone was shouting for blood. Stupid sheep!

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Kanye West Remix)
Artist: Michael Jackson
Featuring: Kanye West
Producer: Kanye West
Album: Thriller (25th Anniversary Ed.)
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 56 votes )
On February 12, 2008, the world will be blessed with a 25th Anniversary re-release of the greatest selling album of all-time, Michael Jackson's Thriller. The album will include the original track listing and an additional eight bonus tracks. In addition to collaborations with Akon (Wanna Be Startin' Something), will.i.am (Pretty Young Thing), and Fergie (Beat It), Kanye West has remixed the classic Jackson hit, Billie Jean. The musical alterations are minimal as West only changed out the bassline and infused a heavier and more distinguished beat. Of course, it wouldn't be a true "Kanye remix" if the mixed and mastered version didn't include a 'Ye made-famous "uuuh" or "yeeeh;" after all, who better to remix Billie Jean than a current king of pop?
