Were the yetis the evil ones…..?
Who knows what yetis lurk in Feng Shui?
The Shadow knows.
(Reminds me of Sergio Aragones' shadow cartoons.)
Just like Alfred Hitchcock!
He said they were rid of the evil yetis. I'm thinking that makes him a non-evil yeti? I wonder if non-evil yetis can swim.
An evil yeti is a yeti that isn't one of ours. By the way, just where are they standing?
So this is the guy who was coming on to Cobra?
hhee hee, he, hee your comment was classic satire …. I mean passive aggressive thanks is all PMark … juss wanted to say is all ; anyway he was some old, fat, bald, ugly , no teeth, face-scared, Sc-aired little thief that we all sort of like somehow and or but have grown to like.
I didn't think that chickens have fingers – soggy or otherwise.

Tag Archives: e-IWO
Our ability to collect consistent child support depends upon employment — and employers. The Family Support Act of 1988 revolutionized the collection of child support by requiring employers to withhold support payments from the paychecks of parents owing support. The law flipped the paradigm: instead of garnishing delinquent payments, the law established a process modeled after income tax withholding to withhold payments as they became due. In fact, the income withholding law is an early application of behavioral economics by setting up automatic payroll deductions with an opt-out to help parents do the right thing.
Next came the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), enacted twenty years ago. PRWORA required employers to report new hires and established the National Directory of New Hires. Obtaining employer data on a systematic basis allowed us to determine whether parents owing support have a regular paycheck coming in.
These two business practices — income withholding and new hire reporting — transformed our program. Today, 75 percent of collections are paid through income withholding, and our current collection rate is at an all-time high of 65 percent. This means that families are more likely than ever to receive regular on-time payments that they can depend upon and budget for. And it means that we could not be where we are today without our essential partnerships with employers. Indeed, employers are our MVPs. In recent years, several child support agencies have launched employer outreach campaigns and established dedicated employer liaisons to keep our employer partnerships robust.
As part of our efforts to facilitate income withholding and new hire reporting, OCSE has prioritized automated tools, portal enhancements, and standardized procedures to streamline the process. These streamlined processes make it easier for employers to help us carry out our mission and get more support to families.
We have made a number of improvements such as:
- e-IWO — Federal legislation enacted in 2014 requires states to use electronic income withholding. More than 50 states and territories participate in e-IWO, and they issue withholding orders to more than 9,000 unique Federal Employer Identification Numbers. Find out more in Sherri Grigsby's 'Employer outreach builds allegiance' article on page 3.
- Reporting lump sum payments — Employers can now report lump-sum payments through the federal portal to increase child support collections and help employers comply with state laws.
- e-Term — Employers can report employee terminations electronically through our portal.
- Verification of employment — Following a change in federal legislation, we issued guidance (DCL-16-01) to employers and to state child support agencies that a verification of employment sought by a child support agency does not trigger the reporting obligations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
- New hire reporting pilot — This tested new approaches to improve new hire reporting rates among employers.
Employers do something else for child support collections, too. They provide jobs. Most of the parents in our caseload are working and raising families. The most effective way to improve our collection rate is to increase the number of parents who are employed and paying monthly support through income withholding. A growing number of employers are providing job opportunities for parents with a criminal record and have signed the White House Employer Fair Chance Business Pledge, a commitment to consider job applicants with a record. We have a link to the pledge on the OCSE Employers webpage.
OCSE launched the Child Support Noncustodial Parent Employment Demonstration (CSPED) in 2012. A number of other research projects have studied interventions designed to improve the employment outcomes of low-income adults. Our colleagues at the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families are publishing a series of briefs as part of their Employment Strategies for Low-Income Adults Evidence Review (ESER), a systematic review of studies published between 1990 and mid-2014 regarding employment and training interventions for low-income adults.
In the August 2016 Child Support Report, our spotlight is on employers. Read this month's issue to learn more about the important connection between fatherhood and jobs, why the federal office is reaching out to employers, and how Illinois is helping employers get more money to families.
Employers key in driving child support collections to families
The nation's employers are a key partner in the child support program. Employers conduct core child support functions, which include reporting newly hired employees, implementing child support and medical support orders, and remitting child support payments.
The OCSE FY 2012 preliminary data report shows that employers remitted 72 percent of all child support payments, or $22.9 billion. The FY 2013 preliminary report indicates that employers remitted 74 percent of all child support payments, and employers reported 53.52 million new hires.
Quite simply, we could not collect and disburse more than $30 billion every year without employers. As child support professionals, we all thank employers for their huge contributions to this program.
In partnership with state child support agencies, OCSE has streamlined processes that help both employers and states gain efficiency in exchanging information and collecting payments. The e-IWO (electronic income withholding order) is the gold standard for transmitting uniform, secure information and reducing costs. Thirty-one states (representing 76.2 percent of the national child support caseload) and 566 employers (representing 6,290 Federal Employer Identification Numbers of parent companies and their subsidiaries) use this electronic process.
Other electronic processes include the Debt Inquiry Service which allows employers to report upcoming bonus and lump sum payments to many states at once. Forty-seven states and territories and 80 employers use the Debt Inquiry Service. This June we will implement electronic terminations (eTerm) to allow employers to notify states about employee terminations or let states know that an individual never worked for them.
States are piloting initiatives that will streamline more processes. Oklahoma Child Support Services transitions custodial parents who close their child support cases but wish to retain an income withholding by sending a new IWO to the employer for the custodial parent. They are expanding this initiative by adding IWO instructions to the pro se section of their website to help parents initiate, amend, or terminate their IWO cases. "Healthy Families" is Oklahoma's new motto, and they are helping to achieve that by assisting pro se customers.
Employers do have concerns about some state practices in income withholding. Omitting full Social Security numbers, adding state-specific requirements such as periodic step-downs in amounts, and requiring the full amount of the order each month when the employer's pay cycle is weekly or bi-weekly require extra administrative work from employers. They believe that these requirements move away from a standard form with standard wording and requirements.
We hope to clarify some of these concerns when we publish the revised Income Withholding for Support (IWO) form this May.
To offer a forum for discussions between states and employers on these and other important issues, the OCSE Employer Services team planned an Employer Symposium for May 22, immediately following the ERICSA (Eastern Regional Interstate Child Support Association) conference. ERICSA will feature an employer track on the final day of the conference to welcome interaction. We hope that many states and employers will join us to continue discussing ways to improve our outreach to families and employers.
Three Tiers—a roadmap of strategies to improve program performance
High performing states use a mix of strategies to boost child support performance. These strategies can be grouped into three tiers. They are:
- Focus on the fundamentals. Make sure that computer systems, new hire reporting, and income withholding (e-IWO) are working well.
- Identify the performance problem. Identify the reason for irregular support payments, intervene early and set realistic obligations.
- Expand access to services. Partner with other programs and reprogram resources to address barriers to nonpayment through family-centered services.
Here's a little more about each tier:
Tier One: Reduce the compliance gap in current collections—focus on fundamentals. This means a strong technology infrastructure and strong employer interface so that employers report new hires and implement timely income withholding orders. To reduce the compliance gap:
- Automate as much as you can to manage information, case flow, locate, establishment, enforcement, and disbursement—everything from e-IWO to document imaging to data analytics and performance management.
- Clean up your employer database.
- Implement e-IWO, starting with one employer, perhaps, and then bringing in large employers, and then other employers in the state.
- Conduct employer outreach to strengthen your relationships with the employer community, and educate (and re-educate) employers about their new hire reporting responsibilities.
- Identify self-employment and cash wages.
- Implement your access to OCSE's State Services Portal.
- Verify Social Security numbers, which are key for locating parents.
Tier Two: Identify the reasons for nonpayment. Improving performance requires caseworkers to analyze who is in the caseload, who is paying and who is not, who has the ability to pay but is unwilling, and who is unable to pay the full amount ordered. By setting an order the parents can realistically comply with, we increase reliable payments and decrease the accumulation of unpaid debt. These are essentially the PAID (Project to Avoid Increasing Delinquencies) strategies and include:
- Caseload stratification and segmentation: Use data to understand your caseload and select the right tool for the right person at the right time. Is driver's license suspension or help getting a job going to be more effective in collecting reliable support payments?
- Early intervention to prevent debt build-up: For example, contact the noncustodial parent when payments stop to find out what happened and work with the parent to get back on track. In fact, if you meet with noncustodial or even both parents before the order is established, you can often start a good relationship with the parents and improve cooperation with the child support office and each other.
- Setting realistic obligations: If you set realistic orders, modify them quickly when circumstances change, and reduce state debt to manageable levels, you can expect compliance. But if the orders are too high, parents can't comply and will walk away from you and, even worse, from their kids.
Tier Three: Remove the barriers to child support payment by partnering with other programs to offer family-centered services. We know that success in collecting current child support depends on steady jobs and manageable family relationships. Adding a service delivery component to child support programs is a challenge, but it can be done.
- Partner with other programs and community-based organizations in the "bubble chart" domains. For example, many child support offices partner with TANF; workforce agencies; fatherhood, veterans, and prisoner reentry programs; substance abuse services; and literacy and financial education programs. Parenting classes and parenting time, too, can help parents stabilize their lives, get and keep jobs, and be a parent to their children.
- Reprogramresources for less productive activities. Look at what works and what doesn't work. Collect data. Look at cost-effectiveness. Contempt hearings are expensive. No-shows are expensive. Multiple enforcement efforts and revolving doors are expensive. Is there a better way to increase consistent payments and boost collections?
I look forward to talking more with all of you in the child support community about using the three-tiered approach—a roadmap for improving the outcomes for children and families.

This was my first time having a mojito, I'm more of a girly frou frou type drinker, this was lovely for something different, tart, refreshing & using up some fresh mint from my garden, great stuff. Thanks!
Wonderfully refreshing! I love Mojitos and have tried many recipes. I have to say, I've never tried a Mojito I didn't like! : ) I started this recipe with a Simple Syrup, which I already had sitting in my refrigerator, eliminating having to dissolve the sugar. I muddled the mint in the Simple Syrup, adding the freshly squeezed lime juice and rum, staining into the pitcher. This is a delicious recipe which I am sure I will use often. Thank you so much, NCMysteryShopper!
This is a wonderful drink! The mint keeps the mouth all fresh, the lime lightens the heavier rum taste, the sugar balance out everything to perfection, and I just love it! I used gassy water instead of club soda, because that's what I have where I live, and made a long drink like NC Mystery Shopper shows in her photo! I will buy a nicely shaped pitcher for having my Mojitos outside, and will grow mint in pots close by the terrace for special effect! Superb!

"Gas Stations" Transportation Tip by machomikemd
Transportation, Hong Kong: 19 reviews and 28 photos
Favorite thing: Gas Stations in Hong Kong are usually very small and not that numerous as the territory is small and you can find that many of the Gas Pumps are located overhead instead on ground level, to save space. Hong Kong also has a High Gasoline Prices of which 1 liter of Premium Unleaded Gasoline cost HKD 17 per liter (or about HKD 64.36 for 1 gallon of Unleaded Gasoline , about 8.25 US Dollars to a Gallon) which is one of the Highest Gasoline Prices in the world hence most people here take Public Transportation as owning a car is really expensive.

After looking into the change, the only cost associated with the change will be replacing the tie-on sign that advertises the hours, and that, Director Harry Willems said, is in need of replacing anyway. But, he added, they will need to determine the best way to communicate the message on the sign, as the actual ...
A familiar Great Bend Veteran, Lonnie Wright, won't be at the dedication of the second memorial stone at Golden Belt Memorial Park today.

Basic, acceptable budget accommodationsPosted Jul 26, 2016 on Hotels
This was a decent, basic hotel. No-frills, but no problems either -- the bedding was a bit old, but the room had a nice flat screen TV, lots of space, a decent air conditioner. It was clean, if a little old. I'd stay again if I was looking for something very basic.

Wifi was incredibly slow. I used my phone's internet instead. The bed was very uncomfortable. The room smelled HORRIBLE, and the AC had a rotten smell when you turned it on as well. I could deal with the Wifi and bad bed, as I didn't expect anything special. But the smell of the room was awful.

- Balsa core fiberglass sandwich construction similar to the hull using layers of unidirectional fabric. The balsa is replaced with high density core in the areas of major deck fittings. The deck is solidly bonded to the hull with fiberglass overlays, marine sealant and mechanical fastenings of stainless steel bolts in conjunction with the C&C toe rail.
- The ballast consists of a lead casting alloyed with antimony for increased strength, bolted through the hull with stainless steel bolts through the reinforced fiberglass floors to spread the load over the hull.

This sole will have removable sections for access to ancillary equipment below.

Are you a gardening enthusiast? We're not. We spent our childhoods weeding yards and mowing lawns for pocket money. But if you do like spending time in a flannel shirt and kneepads — and you're lucky enough to have a few pine trees to give you some shade — then here's a product you'll be interested in.
It's called the Coneivore. It's a tool for picking up pine cones. Debra Seefelt came up with the device because she knew it'd sell. And she figured if she didn't stop leaning on her rake and get moving, she'd be kicking herself one day.
"The idea had been talked about a lot within my family," she says. "Since no one else was going to do anything, I did. I just knew that if I didn't do it someone else would capitalize on the idea."
Coneivore is a lightweight tube that collects up to 20 pine cones at a time. It's like the Secret Deodorant of the gardening world: strong enough for a man but made for a woman.
"Most manual lawn and gardening tools are built for healthy, strong, young men," Seefelt says. "They haven't changed much since they were originally developed for agricultural workers. They can be challenging for a petite, short, elderly or disabled person to use. Yet this accounts for a large portion of the gardening population."
The Coneivore has been on the market for about a year and a half. Seefelt says it's been more successful than she ever imagined. People tell Seefelt they use the Coneivore to pick up not only pine cones but tennis balls, golf balls, crab apples, magnolia pods, and black walnuts.
Now if only she's come up with a tool to deal with those freakin' pine needles.

President Obama says the raid that killed Osama bin Laden produced some of the longest moments of his life, and added up to the "most important single day" of his presidency.
While the raid could also have crippled his presidency -- what if bin Laden had not been in that compound in Pakistan? -- Obama tells NBC News that he took the risk because the military had a good plan.
"The reason I was willing to make that decision of sending in our SEALs to try to capture or kill bin Laden rather than to take some other options was ultimately because I had 100% faith in the Navy SEALs themselves," Obama says.
The president's comments are part of an anniversary documentary on the raid to air tonight on NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams. The program, Inside the Situation Room, airs at 9 p.m. ET.
There weren't many people with whom Obama could discuss the risks -- planning the raid was one of the most closely held secrets in Washington history.
Obama didn't even tell wife Michelle.
"This had to be such a close-held operation," Obama said. "There were only a handful of staff in the White House who knew about this."
He added: "Even a breath of this in the press could have chased bin Laden away. We didn't know at that point whether there might be underground tunnels coming out of that compound that would allow him to escape."
The raid took place in the early hours of May 2, 2011, Pakistan time.
Obama also cited the one-year anniversary during yesterday's surprise trip to Afghanistan.
From NBC News:
The killing of the 9/11 mastermind had been years in the making, a mission that Obama's two predecessors had been unable accomplish. President Bill Clinton fired 75 cruise missiles trying to kill bin Laden while President George W. Bush was frustrated by the al-Qaeda leader's ability to evade capture.
After years of hunting bin Laden, the Central Intelligence Agency got its biggest break in late 2010.
Helmed by then CIA Director Leon Panetta, the agency identified the home of bin Laden's courier in the upscale town of Abbottabad, not far from Pakistan's capital, Islamabad. Satellites revealed someone else living at the same compound: a tall man walking in the courtyard that analysts dubbed "The Pacer."
"Ultimately it was a 50/50 proposition as to whether this was actually bin Laden," Obama said.

(album available 128-320kbs)* 0 Label Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest Hide/Show Album Info Slam Dunk Ernest is not the best of the Ernest movies, but it's not the worst either. The story has Ernest P. Worrell being given a special pair of shoes by the Archangel of Basketball (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) that make him a basketball star. His fellow teammates are shocked and delighted, but Ernest is tempted by the 'dark side' and gets little to into his role as a star. In the end, Ernest makes the right decision he always does. Jim Varney is the best thing in this movie, though the supporting cast does a good job. This movie has the charm of the Ernest movies, but doesn't compare to Ernest Goes to Jail or Ernest Scared Stupid.

United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois
April 16, 2012
MYERSv.KRAFT, ET AL.
Plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [4] is granted. All claims against the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Brandi J. Kraft are dismissed with prejudice. The clerk is directed to issue summonses for service of process on defendants Joliet Township High School District 204 and Richard S. Pagliaro by the United States Marshal Service and the United States Marshal Service is directed to serve the complaint on these two defendants only. Plaintiff is directed to file by May 30, 2012 an amended complaint asserting claims only against the Joliet Township High School District 204 and Richard S. Pagliaro. He may use the court's form Complaint of Employment Discrimination, available in the Clerk's Office or on court's website, www.ilnd.uscourts.gov (see Pro se Litigants [Forms]). See statement below.
O[ For further details see text below.] Docketing to mail notices.
Cleveland Myers has sued the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") and one of its investigators, Brandi J. Kraft, as well as his former employer, the Joliet Township High School District 204 (the "District"), and an assistant superintendent, Richard S. Pagliaro, alleging discrimination in employment in violation of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 1983, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as several Illinois common law claims. He seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis and has submitted a financial affidavit reflecting that he is unable to pay the filing fee.
Myers contends that Investigator Kraft "knowingly and intentionally neglected" to afford him with the full and equal benefit of a thorough investigation on his November 30, 2010 charge and did not mail out his notice of right to sue dated September 12, 2011 until December 12, 2011, in order to prevent him from filing this law suit against the District and Pagliaro. Against the District and Pagliaro, he claims they unlawfully discriminated against him based on race and retaliated against him because he expressed opposition to discriminatory practices.
This law suit was filed March 14, 2012. The notice of right to sue is dated September 12, 2011 and reflects that, "[b]ased upon its investigation, the EEOC is unable to conclude that the information obtained establishes violations of the statutes." It advises that plaintiff may file a law suit within 90 days of receipt of the notice. Myers alleges that he received the notice on December 15, 2011. Although the EEOC is required by statute to investigate charges of discrimination, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(b), and to send a notice of right to sue upon request, id. § 2000e-5(f), Title VII creates no private right of action against the EEOC or any of its investigators for failing to do either. Moreover, plaintiff has suffered no injury as a result. He may pursue his charge by way of a complaint in this court. If plaintiff received the notice on December 15, 2011 (a fact that may be disputed by the District at a later time), his law suit is timely filed. All claims against the EEOC and Kraft must be dismissed.
Myers is given leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff must file an amended complaint against the employer defendants only.

Rest of country shares Wisconsin golfers' pain
Wisconsin is far from the only state that has suffered through a miserably harsh and long winter.
According to PGA PerformanceTrak, in February rounds of golf played nationally were down 4.8% and days courses were open were down 17.9% compared to 2013.
The month had the second-lowest number of days open and the second-lowest number of rounds played since PerformanceTrak's inception. One good sign: February had the highest average number of rounds played per day open in nine years.
Ten states had increases in rounds played over February, 2013 -- led by Utah with a 155.9% gain -- and 28 states posted declines in rounds played (though 22 were affected by much cooler and / or wetter weather).
Wisconsin posted zero rounds played. No surprise there.

Ben Z's Article on White Flowers
Ben Z's Article on White Flowers
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 18:33:01 EST
Content-Disposition: Inline
I must first start by saying that I am on digest mode and have not yet
received Ben's most recent message which, I presume from Andrew's message was
sent today to one of the groups. Therefore, I am responding primarily to
what I have been able to discern from Andrew's message without benefit of
having read Ben's most recent piece.
It is true that Ben submitted an article that, if in perfect form, could have
been published 3 issues ago. However, every article Ben has submitted has
taken substantial time, 3 to 4 iterations to get the grammar correct and I
will say, unequivocally more time than any other author's submissions. This
has not stopped us from putting in many hours of review and editing to
publish that which has been published thus far. In the past Warren Pollock,
Bob Olson, CH Falstad, Kevin Vaughn, Lois Girton and Rich Grazzini have spent
3 times more on any of Ben's articles in editing simple grammar so that the
average American person could understand them.
As was noted three Journals ago, due to concern expressed by several members
over the "level and quality" of the science in the Journal we placed more
emphasis on initial review by the Science editor and peer review by others
chosen by the science editor. Rick Grazzini, until yesterday our science
editor, expressed concern over the substance of Ben's most recent article
immediately upon its submission. During this same period Rick has had to
have surgery and shortly following that his lab director became severely ill
requiring Rick to take over double duties in his everyday work. In fact,
Rick just yesterday submitted his resignation as science editor due to his
having taken over the responsibilities of running his lab operations.
In short, this is a volunteer operation, no one on the Journal staff is paid
for the numerous hours we spend to make the Journal what it is. We (Bob
Solberg in his role as V.P. for the genus hosta, myself as editor of the
Journal, et.al.) are looking for a new science editor. Once she or he is
found we will have them review Ben's article on an expedited basis. This
does not mean it will be published but that we will have restarted the
process of getting questions to Ben so that he can resolve any problems that
there may be.
Regarding some of the other items in Andrew's e-mail. If I read them
correctly, Andrew did a better job of discussing the never ending, losing
proposition of trying to guess what balance of articles the group wants. But
I can tell you that if the number of Journal pages given to "pure science"
exceeds, or nears, 25 percent my phone has burned with complaints.
This is a bit self-serving, (maybe better yet "sour grapes") but I will say
it anyway: Very few people (and clearly far, far fewer than have complained)
have ever called saying thank you for the Journal, or good job, we really
liked the last issue. Working in Washington where the environment is geared
to "what did you do for me last" I expected this when I took the job. What
I didn't expect was that no matter what you do people never hesitate to B_T_H
at the editor when it doesn't come out their way.
I am sad that Ben has had to complain to the group but so be it. He has been
told several times that his article was not rejected but was under review.
Rick couldn't help his situation with his health and work. But that doesn't
mean we should simply ignore concerns and publish something with which our
science editor has had reservations.
Maybe I am glad that this is my next to last issue as editor!
