Merit raises: next public employee front?
Carlsbad's new pay model could inspire imitators statewide
San Diego County was at the vanguard of public pension dial-backs that swept California last year. Now, Carlsbad's decision to do away with automatic pay increases for government employees as they accumulate years of service could put the county at the forefront of a new wave.
Public employee contracts often make news when disputes arise about "across the board" raises, which boost pay scales top to bottom. Lesser publicized are the automatic "step increases" that generally accrue to employees as they serve time on the job.
In a deal with unions, Carlsbad has put a stop to that, opting to spend the same amount of money on merit increases instead.
"When I hear that employees will get raises based on performance, I say 'Welcome to the real world,'" said Kris Vosburgh, executive director of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. "It would be nice if other cities around the state followed suit."
Leaders of some cities believe embracing a similar pay system could be the answer as they look to rein in costs and recover from the economic downturn. Unions are viewing any attacks on egalitarian pay with suspicion.
"It's going to be interesting to see what happens with other agencies," said Chris Burdick, a retired public-sector union negotiator in Northern California and now an arbitrator in Marin County. "The unions will fight like wounded tigers to avoid the spread of this."
Much like pensions, which were once available to employees of many sectors but have become a government phenomenon, the step increases are an obscure but standard perk enjoyed primarily by public employees.
How should government employees get raises?
Based on years of service 5% (50)
Based on performance 55% (561)
Both 32% (330)
Neither 8% (82)
1023 total votes.
Any broad campaign to ax automatic raises is sure to face stiff opposition, much like San Jose and San Diego faced last year in their battles to curb lifetime pension benefits awarded to public employees in the days when the state seemed flush with cash.
Steven Kreisberg, national collective bargaining director for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said the demoralizing aspects of a so-called merit system outweigh any motivations. Supervisors don't spend enough time to accurately gauge performance, Kreisberg said, and the measurement instruments relied upon by agencies are often not valid.
"Managers hate it because it's a zero sum game," he said of dividing up a merit-pay pool. "They can't give everyone the ratings they deserve."
Kreisberg declined to predict whether Carlsbad's innovation would become a trend among municipalities in California.
Critics of the automatic pay hikes have characterized them as hidden. Unlike across-the-board raises, governments rarely mention when their employees receive hikes based on years of service. Despite years of belt-tightening, employee costs have continued to grow in part because of the built-in raises.
Even amid much-publicized budget cuts, increases in California state worker compensation costs have cost nearly $10 billion since 2006-07.
Carlsbad's actions appear to be rare, if not unprecedented, in the state. A spokeswoman for the League of California Cities said she has yet to hear of another city making such a move.
Lawrence McQuillan, a senior fellow at the libertarian Independent Institute in Oakland, said it would take a handful of local governments of varying sizes moving away from step increases to assess the potential for meaningful budget savings over the years.
"I see this as a way of thinking creatively by officials in terms of how we can incentivize productivity increases on the part of our employees — and reward them for that — and at the same time save some money in the budget," McQuillan said, adding that the financial environment remains conducive to local agencies adopting resourceful approaches. "I don't think the public would be necessarily opposed to salary increases if the officials could then justify it as a cost savings."

Clark County's population grew by nearly 2 percent to 433,418 between 2010 and 2011, according to an estimate released Thursday by the Census Bureau.
The estimate paints a brighter picture than the state's Office of Financial Management, which estimated growth of 0.6 percent for 2011 and 0.76 percent growth for 2012. Census Bureau estimates trail behind that of the state. Census estimates for 2012 won't be available until June 2013. The state agency measures from April to April, while the Census Bureau counts the calendar year. The state's estimates for 2012 were released Monday.
The markedly different estimates are used primarily for awarding state and federal funding. The state uses its own numbers. The federal government uses data from the Census Bureau.
Washington state's population has generally stayed put due to the sluggish economy, said the state's chief demographer, Yi Zhao.
"No one is growing that fast (in the state) except the Tri-Cities," Zhao said. "We hardly have any new housing starts."
The local rate of growth in 2011 was higher than the state as a whole, which showed a 1.6 percent increase, according to the census estimates. It also was higher than the nation's 1.3 percent.
Clark County's growth in the state 2012 estimates was about the same as the state's, which was 0.73 percent.
Clark County's 2012 growth lagged behind eight other Washington counties.
Scott Bailey, regional economist for the Washington Employment Security Department, said state estimates for 2012 indicate the county's population has flat-lined. Births and deaths would account for 0.76 percent population growth. Bailey said in-migration and out-migration in the county is about equal.
Though unemployment rates have decreased, new jobs have not been numerous enough to stimulate a significant population boom. Other population indicators such as new housing and school enrollment also are modest, Zhao said.
Clark County has a history of seesawing population numbers, tied largely to the economy, Zhao said.
"Clark County goes up and down more than other counties because it's impacted by Portland's economy," she said. "Portland will turn around, and Clark will absorb some of the people who work in Portland."
An economic center like Portland usually needs to recover fully before any significant population ripples show up in suburbs, such as Clark County, she said.
The census estimates are calculated annually using numbers from the most recent census in 2010 and information from birth and death certificates, IRS tax returns, Medicare enrollment forms, number of housing units and occupancy rates.
Clark County numbered 425,363 residents in the 2010 census.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Best app ever
Life on pause
Couldn't agree more! ALready got 3 stars on all levels but have 2 more bananas to find.
The whole Angry Birds franchise has been a HUGE success. My only concern is the advertising they added to the pause screen in Angry Birds. This has really caused an uproar. It's such a simple thing, yet that simple thing could cause the whole empire to crumble.
What I don't really appreciate is why us iPhone/iPad/iTouch users are funding the apps for the Android users. My son and co-workers have ALL the same Angry Bird apps but got them free via the various Android stores. That surely doesn't seem fair.
But back on topic. The Rio game is gorgeous. Stunning backgrounds that really take advantage of the Retina display! Gameplay that is still challenging yet not impossible to overcome.
Already looking forward to May when the next ""world" unlocks!
They are on the original Angry Birds game anytime you pause the game, assuming you have the latest version of course.Originally Posted by Skywatcher, post: 248640
I'm still in the aircraft hanger levels- My standards are slipping! For once my uni work is getting in the way of my Angry Birds playing rather than the other way around.
THAT was the very one I had missed.Originally Posted by Skywatcher, post: 248671
So, all stars, all pineapples and all bananas. I haven't hit the achievement for score on the first two worlds, even though I've increased scores on nearly every level!
You are better than I as I am presently 3,942 worldwide :-)

Oh, and in the last few days I finished up the resurrection of this pair of Ergos for a C&Ver who had the misfortune to crash the Colnago that was wearing them. Since I had to remove the anodizing and clean up some heavy scraping on the levers, I decided to add a little drillium flair as well
Lever body clean-up was done with files and sanding sponges. I attempted to replicate the original black coating by laying down some Tamiya flat black acrylic followed by two coats of Krylon gloss black. I was pretty satisfied with the overall look once it was dry. I just hope this finish stands the test of time.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan will be administered by FUSAI (Salvadoran Foundation for Comprehensive Development), a Salvadoran NGO that owns Kiva partner Apoyo Integral. FUSAI will disburse this loan in order to reach a population that doesn't currently work with Apoyo Integral. This type of loan covers basic services (like housing and water), and supports small business and agricultural activities. Borrowers come from low-income families in rural and peri-urban communities, and are considered to be too poor or lack the proper guarantees to get credit through traditional banks or microfinance institutions. Before receiving their loans, they are vetted by local community organizations and enrolled in classes in financial literacy, and the importance of sanitation, potable water and clean energy. Additionally, FUSAI enables borrowers to guarantee one another and take out loans smaller than El Salvador's average. Important to note is El Salvador is considered one of the most dangerous countries in the world, holding the 2nd place in the ranking of murders per capita. All these FUSAI borrowers live in areas considered by the police as highly violent and dangerous, mainly because of gangs influence. Main risks they face in these areas are thefts, extortions, kidnappings and murders.
About Apoyo IntegralApoyo Integral (Apoyo) is a nonprofit organization offering financial products that enable clients to increase their working capital, purchase fixed assets, buy and remodel homes, expand agricultural business and more. The organization's target group is businessmen and women who have already established their businesses but need financial support to strengthen or expand them.
Like Kiva, Apoyo is committed to empowering women involved in business activities in rural areas. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand these services to an even greater number of poor clients in rural areas.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Although up to 40 percent of the population could have mental health issues, getting help isn't easy in Pakistan.

Seedorf snub for Chelsea
Clarence Seedorf has said no to Chelsea after insisting: "I have a contract with Milan."
And he was one of the players Ancelotti was considering taking to Stamford Bridge.
There is also a growing feeling of disappointment within the Milan squad that the club will not be challenging for honours next year following the sale of Kaka to Real Madrid.
But the Dutch inter-national has made it clear that, for the time being at least, he wants to stay at Milan.
Seedorf added: "I hope to still play for at least three or four years more. After that I have a whole lifetime ahead of me to do good.
"It's beautiful news that Ancelotti wants me in London, but next year I will still be playing for Milan."

Remember when going to the movies was all about trying to look old enough to get into an M-rated film, piffing a stray Malteser or two down the aisle, and the nervous anticipation that came with placing your hand on the armrest hoping that person you strategically sat next to might accidentally brush your little finger?
Today, going to the cinema at Northlands (with its vomit-pattern carpet hiding a million stains and pinny parlour haunted by misspent dollar coins), still excites me. It's far more enticing than sitting on my couch surrounded by the distractions of everyday life - the newspapers I haven't put in the recycling, the bathroom sink I haven't scrubbed, the pink, angry parking fines I haven't paid.
I raised my standards this week and saw the action alien flick Predators; the latest instalment of a film I saw back in 1987. Let's be honest, there's nothing intellectual going on here. I'm clearly regressing.
Contrary to Julia Gillard's election promise, I was in the mood for moving backwards, not forward. Movies like this are the filmic version of craving fast food. Comfort comes from getting exactly what you expected and sometimes that's just what you need to fix what ails you. This explains the never-ending presence of dried-out, dodgy dim sims and potato cakes lurking in bains-marie across the country. And Predator movies. They will always be there, waiting for a moment of weakness.
Once at the movies I refrained from purchasing the Sex and the City 2 celebratory popcorn handbag. As tempting as it was, I just couldn't see myself reusing this stylish number after the 50 washes required to destroy the embedded stench of popcorn. It was a wise choice.
The Predators movie goes exactly to plan. Scary Predator mangles opponent (complete with obligatory fluorescent blood spurting from a decapitated neck), then raises his arms, releasing an almighty victory howl. Predator then takes victory stroll. But there is a problem. The Predator's lanky gait exposes him as a human wearing a leotard. I laughed. Surely it's OK to laugh when the alien looks a bit substandard? Apparently not.
From the row in front, a head turned towards me and spat: ''SHADDUP!'' Fair call, I thought. My movie companion though would have none of it and bit back with ''Sorry, I forgot, you need to concentrate''. The air was tense. No one enjoyed things after that.
When did going to the movies get so serious? I thought it was OK to have a giggle at a film like this, given that this new version is pretty much identical to the others. Surely that's the point? We don't need a manual. We've been watching the same film over and over since the talkies began. This one's just a more violent version of Blue Lagoon without the under-age leads and skimpy home-made leatherwear.
Such predictability explains the success of the Twilight series. In three films, nothing has changed. Girl will look tense, some bloke's got his shirt off, vitamin B is in short supply and no one gets a root. It rates its pants off.
Shirts-off action films are no different. Tough blokes must be half-naked to fight beast/enemy/The Unknown. Camera pans up and down tough bloke's ripped abs in a manner usually reserved for Pamela Anderson on Baywatch.
The stupidest team member always dies first and the resourceful female lead falls for the gruff-yet-heart-of-gold male protagonist. No one has sex. But they would like to. All beasties die. Everyone's happy - except the bloke in front of me.
I'm not excusing my behaviour. I probably should grow up. But I also remember that going to the movies involves human interaction and humans don't always behave the way you want them to. Surely that's part of the charm of going to a shared space to watch a flick?
So I stand by my right to laugh at a crappy alien if he or she presents itself. Or roll a Malteser or two down the aisle, just for old time's sake. And I stand by your right to watch the same film over and over again. We're only human.

"Ischyros's Fort Wayne Page" Top 5 Page for this destination Fort Wayne by Ischyros
Fort Wayne Travel Guide: 107 reviews and 154 photos
Fort Wayne is Indiana's oldest and second-largest city with a population of about 230,000 people and dating back to it's founding on October 22, 1794. It is located at the confluence of the St. Joseph, St. Mary, and Maumee Rivers, thus everything in town is named Three Rivers. It is along Interstate 69 about 35-40 miles south of the Michigan state line and about 125 miles north of downtown Indianapolis. The city is located at an altitude of 790 feet and is mostly level. Daytime high temperatures (in Farenheit) range from the mid-80s in the summer to the upper 20s in the winter with overnight lows dropping into the 60s in summer and teens in the winter. However, it isn't uncommon to have hot humid days in the summer hit 90 or even 100 degrees, although that sort of heat rarely lasts more than a few days. And winter often seens overnight lows plummet below zero. Fort Wayne recieves about 35 inches of precipitation a year with most in the winter coming in the form of snow. About 32 inches of the white stuff blanket the city over the course of an entire winter.
In the early 1700s the Miami indians had a large village set up along the banks of the Maumee River in what is now the Lakeside area of Fort Wayne which they called Kekionga, meaning it was the most ancient of the Miami villages. In 1722, the first of five forts was built along the St. Mary's River near the site of the present-day Sherman Street Bridge.
As the American Revolution began in the late 1700s, the area became known back east as a breeding ground for "terrorism" and was called Miamitown. While several Indian tribes had their homes here alongside traders and French settlers, outlaws, bandits, and traitors also hid out in the woods around the area.
In 1750 another fort was built by the French near the present-day intersection of St. Joe Blvd and Delaware Ave.
With the outbreak of the French and Indian War in 1755, many French troops from Fort Miami and Indian allies living in the area were sent in to battle the British soldiers, but the Indian troops defeated them consistantly.
General George Washington then sent Revolutionary War hero General "Mad" Anthony Wayne to Miamitown. He calmed Indian hostilities and built the first American fort at what is today the northwest corner of Berry and Clay Streets. On October 22, 1794, the new fort was officially named Fort Wayne. This date has since been officially recognized as the birthdate of Fort Wayne.
None of the original forts remain today, but visitors can still visit a replica of the original Fort Wayne just north of downtown along Spy Run Avenue.
As a kid growing up in a small town about an hour away from Fort Wayne, the only reason we ever ventured here was once or twice a year to go shopping at the large Glenbrook Square. I never knew Fort Wayne offered anything more until I moved here. And it amazes me how little people seem to know about their own hometown. I was driving across town with a friend of mine who had grown up in the Fort one night and as we were driving through downtown, I pointed out that I often parked in Lawton Park and would stroll around the downtown area. I told how beautiful I thought it was and how much I enjoyed it and she replied that she didn't even know what all was downtown. I can't believe the people that would remark that there was nothing to do in Fort Wayne. There are top notch museums, a beautiful zoo, a great library, all kinds of family entertainment, sporting events, safe friendly clubs, plenty of local places to grab a good bite to eat. Maybe it takes an out-of-towner to point these things out, I don't know. I like where I live now, but I really miss Fort Wayne. It really is a great city.
- Pros:Plenty of parks, lots of shopping, lots of family entertainment
- Cons:Traffic, traffic, traffic!
- In a nutshell:A beautiful little big city!

Casa does offer salads with their dishes, just not the pasta dishes. Most of the meat dish items as well as lunch specials all include a Casa side salad at no extra charge.
Hey, just one quick update on this. Very recently they changed the legislation such that anyplace in doors is a no smoking area. Bars, strip clubs, etc, included. I believe it's about 20 feet from the building before you are allowed to smoke. Just an fyi.
It's actually the 39th year for Three Rivers
Great to see another Hoosier on VT! Great stuff on Fort Wayne. We have spent a lot of time here and like it except for all of the one way streets downtown.
Food was sub par for the area. Too many better seafood places here. They are now out of business in Fort Wayne
Take away the hush puppies and the fries, and there's very little seafood to be had. A better bet is to head over to Decatur on Friday night for the all-you-can-eat crab legs and shrimp at The Back 40 Junction restaurant and buffet.
Great page! Very interesting ! Thank you! K&T
I've not visited this place, but was actually told over the phone by the owner "I don't care if anyone comes here or not". I think it's a 501c3 TAX FRAUD, not a musuem!
What a terrific page on an unknown (except to locals) gem of a town. You have made me want to make a visit.
You have a really nice page. I grew up in Ft. Wayne but moved to Florida - i dont think I ever knew what the city had to offer!

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 18, 2010Reviewer: Yvonne in NorwayTastes awful, can't really understand how others can actually recommend this product. Not going to buy this product again.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 09, 2010Reviewer: elisa in MarylandI purchased this based on previous reviews and was shocked at what I wound up with. I am very experienced with my bread machine (4 year veteran)... and not sure what happened with this bread mix, but when the machine was finished.. the loaf of bread inside was lopsided as if it bubbled over on one side. The top 1/3 was all crust from the weird shape. I cut into it anyway. I just had to taste it! It was awful. Very chewy and spongy. Nothing new here. I think low carb has come much further than this in both textures and taste. I cannot recommend.
March 05, 2014Reviewer: Frances in MassachusettsHad no problem making it in the bread machine; it rose beautifully and baked through just right. The problem is the taste--horrible, even with lots of butter and jam. I couldn't even get my son, who will eat anything, to eat more than one small slice. I eat low carb because of diabetes. Well, folks, I had the highest sugar spike since I stopped eating bread and potatoes. Can't recommend on any level.
June 27, 2013Reviewer: Cynthia in FloridaHorrible! Could not get to rise in bread maker. Threw it away. Tried several times.
January 23, 2013Reviewer: karen in MichiganMaybe I just received a bad batch, but I didn't have any luck with this product. I used it in my Sunbeam Bread Machine, followed the directions exactly, and it came out like a brick. It did not rise. Not one to give up, I tried 2 more packages, determined to get it to work. I added an extra tsp of fast rising yeast to the 2nd loaf and a tbl of raw sugar.. it rose slightly, but was still hard as a brick and uneatable. I tried adding the extra yeast and molasses to the 3rd batch, it did rise, but is still very dense and not very tasty.. I have a good recipe for a low carb bread mix that does rise and taste great, so I'll just be sticking to that rather than waste my money on this mix from now on.

2) call univ collections and have those four accounts PFD. But... They wont send a PFD letter. Rep said just pay the extra $ and we will remove it in 48hrs? I know I want it in writing. Wife and my self have argued with them bout the letter and they will NOT send it.
Tough situation you have there. My "personal" opinion would be to take the offere. It's a $50 gamble to take them at their word to remove 4 negatives off you're report. That's $12.50 for each. I've spent more on that on stamps for GWs. YMMV of course, but might be worth the risk. Good Luck

- Infill development
Each topic will be taught with an eye toward integrating sustainable practices into planning and site scale.
The average American house is 2,400 square-feet and uses more than 13,000 board-feet of lumber, 6,000 square-feet of sheathing and 2,000 square-feet of flooring—putting a strain on our natural resources. Rising energy costs, a shortage of building materials, growing consumer demand and environmental awareness are forcing architects, designers and building professionals to seek better and more efficient ways to design our buildings.
This course explores the issues, challenges and opportunities associated with green building and sustainable design. Examine innovative residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use, and low- and high-density specialty buildings. Evaluate the micro- and macro-economic issues associated with green buildings.
Focus on the holistic and geometric aspects of green design, and discuss how comprehensive building design can respond to the needs of occupants and environmental circumstances. Look at specific building technologies and how to use them. Examine thermal, water and lighting control systems.
Learn about the fundamentals of water resources management from a sustainable perspective and how to incorporate a sustainable water resources approach into various types of urban development and infrastructure at the policy, planning and design levels.
Topics include:
- Methods for assessing long term water use and demand - Water conservation practices
- Sustainable landscape design
- Basics of water quality and waste water treatment in urban areas
- Use of recycled and grey water
- Rain water harvest and innovative approaches to LID-style storm water management
Apply sustainability principles to natural or impacted urban stream and wetland sites, and gain a fundamental understanding of how to implement sustainable water resource practices in varied community design situations.
Examine the energy issue from the macro perspective of the built environment to the micro approach of how heat flows throughout a building. Using the "whole building" perspective, discover some of the natural and mechanical means of heating, cooling and ventilation for improved indoor air quality and cost savings. The breakdown of how energy is used in its final stage is a critical component of a successful sustainable environment. Examine how conservation and the effectiveness of renewable energy sources, such as solar and solar thermal power, biomass, wind power, hydroelectric and photovoltaic are key elements to achieving energy efficiency. Learn to analyze energy use as an effective strategy to promote energy conservation in the built environment, including solar panels, exterior shades, lighting a space, painting a roof white, and the issues and technology of bio fuels.

Rises in import prices by locality last month
November 10, 1999
The price index for imports from Japan continued a recent upturn, rising 0.3 percent in October after increasing 0.6 percent the previous month. Over the past 12 months, the index was up 2.5 percent.
[Chart data—TXT]
Prices of imports from the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries rose 0.6 percent in October, the largest increase in the index since monthly publication began in October 1992. Despite recording gains in two of the past three months, the index fell 1.4 percent during the year ended in October.
The price indexes for imports from Latin America and Canada rose 1.5 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively, in October. Over the October 1998-99 period, the prices of imports from Latin America rose 10.5 percent, while the prices of imports from Canada were up 4.6 percent.
The price index of imports from the European Union also increased in October, as prices for nonmanufactured goods rose and prices for manufactured goods were unchanged. The overall index for imports from the European Union rose 0.3 percent in October and 0.4 percent for the year ended in October.
These data are a product of the BLSInternational Price program. Find out more in "U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes - October 1999," news release USDL 99-318. The Asian Newly Industrialized Countries include Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. Latin America includes Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

NIFO is a cost flow assumption, just as FIFO and LIFO are cost flow assumptions. However, NIFO is not acceptable for financial reporting since it calls for a future cost. NIFO is sometimes used as an expression of replacement cost.
Even though NIFO cannot be used for valuing inventory and the cost of goods sold on the financial statements, it is useful for making decisions. For example, some companies will use NIFO when determining selling prices.

Designers: Nema Workshop
Location: Madison Ave, New York
D'espresso Cafe Interior by Nema Workshop
The concept for the design is straightforward, bold and receptive to future locations: take the ordinary and turn it on its side. Drawing from the nearby New York Public Library in Bryant Park, the space is lined in a sepia-toned full size photograph of books printed on tiles. The custom tiles run along the floor, up the 15' foot wall and across the ceiling. The frosted glass wall behind the service counter illuminates the space and the wall directly opposite is clad in rich brown herringbone. The thrust of this concept finds expression in the lighting and materiality, and ultimately the space gives definition to the emerging brand.
