FLW Kentucky Lake Baits, Gear & Patterns
Dave Lefebre's Winning Pattern, Baits & Gear
There was plenty of size there this year and he mined it for all it was worth in winning with a closing weight of 77-03. He caught more than half of his weight (43-04) on the weekend and his 6 1/2-pound winning margin was the largest margin of victory in a Tour Major since last yearŐs Kentucky Lake event. The win was his first tournament triumph since the 2009 Toyota Texas Bass Classic and second career FLW Tour Major victory.
The area Lefebre had found a few years ago was something most anglers would overlook with their electronics. A staunch opponent of the umbrella rig in competition, he wasnŐt about to join the masses chasing schools of offshore fish and not knowing if heŐd be able to get on them. ŇThat area has a lot of potential when you look at the map,Ó he said. ŇIt has a lot of little ditches and subtleties. I had a practice partner with me and I told him we were going to this flat and that it had potential in the past. I just wanted to fish it because I felt like there was something around there.
ŇWe hit that spot for 90 minutes or 2 hours. All week in practice, I didnŐt want to fish all the obvious stuff on the map that everyone was fishing. IŐd go over that stuff and then idle around off of it looking for things that were off of the structure -- little things.Ó He didnŐt anything over 3 pounds in practice, but had a hunch this area and others like it could hold the key to a tournament where conditions were drastically different than a year ago. He combed the shallows with Rapala DT-6 and DT-10 crankbaits and was able to get a better picture of how things laid out under the boat. ŇThese spots that I was fishing you canŐt really find them on your graphs or StructureScan,Ó he said. ŇItŐs stuff you just have to fish and cover a lot of water. Then when you get a bite, you throw a buoy out and maybe thereŐs something to it or maybe itŐs a fluke. You donŐt know until you get that first bites. ŇI didnŐt have any idea what was there until the 2nd day when I caught 19 pounds.Ó
Lefebre laid a solid foundation for the week on day 1, weighing almost 15 pounds off a jig with a double-tail trailer, which had him in 40th place. On day 2, he happened upon a shad spawn on his best area in the morning and filled his livewell pretty quick on a swimbait. He wound up with 19-00 and moved up to 9th heading into the weekend. ŇThey didnŐt do it the first day,Ó he said of the shad. ŇThere werenŐt any flickering around. I didnŐt feel them bumping my swimbait. The second day, I went there and the shad were flickering around and it was on, and I caught them quick.Ó The shad were spawning again early on day 3 and he had a magical early-morning stretch that saw him box 18 pounds in roughly 13 minutes. He then upgraded three times the rest of the day and wound up with a tournament-best 23-15 to pull into 2nd place, just 2 ounces out of the lead.
ŇItŐs the first day I can remember eating and drinking normally,Ó he said on stage. ŇI was able to relax." ŇWhen the shad were spawning, it didnŐt matter how I presented the bait," he added later. "I had to make the exact cast because the spot was as big as my front deck, but boat position didnŐt matter.Ó Late on day 3, he toyed around with boat position and honed in on the right cast, which helped him keep his baits in the strike zone longer. ŇIt was very obvious because IŐd gone an hour without a bite and then moved, and then it was on,Ó he noted. He left his fish biting each of the first 3 days and then hammered away on the final day. While he was focused on a shallow-water area, he wasnŐt shielded at all from the winds that peppered the lake on the weekend. In fact, the gusts took away his ability to make the cast he needed to the morning of day 4. ŇI couldnŐt feel what I needed to feel,Ó he said. ŇI feel like I knew every shell down there and once IŐd hit those specific, little shells and the bait started wobbling, I knew IŐd get a bite. ThatŐs how specific it was.Ó
He returned to his primary area once the wind relented in the early afternoon and he was able to target the fish the way he wanted to. Soon after, he caught a 6-pounder that sealed the win. ŇI was able to make that cast and feel what I felt the day before and then boom,Ó he said. ŇIf the wind hadnŐt died down in the afternoon, I might not have caught that big one.Ó
Winning Pattern:
When fishing his primary area and once he figured out how to reach the sweet spots, he backed off and worked on it from a distance. ŇI was staying way off of it and I was throwing it out there as far as I could,Ó he said. ŇAs soon as the bait hit the bottom, IŐd start cranking it and most of the bites were within the first 10 or 20 feet.Ó
Winning Gear:
Jig gear: 7Ő8Ó heavy-action Dobyns Champion Extreme Mike Long Signature Series jig rod, Shimano Chronarch casting reel (7.0:1 ratio), unnamed 14-pound fluorocarbon line, 3/4- and 1-ounce Tabu Tackle Open Water Series jig (green pumpkin), Living Rubber skirt (brown), 5Ó Yamamoto Pro Double Tail grub (green pumpkin). He added purple tinsel to a brown Living Rubber skirt for the jig.
Swimbait gear: 7Ő9Ó heavy-action Dobyns prototype casting rod, same reel, unnamed 20-pound fluorocarbon line, 1/2-ounce jighead, 5 1/2Ó Storm WildEye Pro Paddle Tail swimbait (glass minnow). He super-glued the jig head to the nose of the swimbait to give it a bigger profile. On days 1-3, he showed the fish nothing but the Storm Paddle Tail, but mixed in other unnamed swimbaits on day 4. In practice, he scoured the flat with Rapala DT-6 and DT-10 crankbaits (pearl gray shiner) using an 8Ő medium-heavy Dobyns Champion Series crankbait rod. ŇItŐs not what I ended up catching them on in the tournament, but it was just as important as the swimbait or the spot because it helped me cover a lot of water really fast and find those tiny sweet spots.Ó
Main factor: ŇThere are so many. Finding those spots that were getting zeo pressure and putting the motor down and just fishing and covering a lot of water with those Rapala crankbaits. Without a doubt, that was the key.Ó
Performance edge: ŇStructureScan was extremely important. I used the DownScan and SideScan at the same time. You canŐt fish a lake like this without it. You just canŐt compete without it.Ó
Chris Baumgardner's Pattern, Baits & Gear
However, on the final morning he was kindly asked to leave his best area by the owner of the marina and he obliged, but not before heŐd caught 11 pounds. He couldnŐt connect on any significant upgrades the rest of the day, however. ŇI really slowed down after day 1,Ó he said. ŇThe fish were on the ends of the docks instead on back in them. The sun was key for me, too, because the big ones seemed to right on the shade line.Ó He also flipped a jig along a stretch of shallow rock and docks on Kentucky Lake that produced a couple key fish on day 1 and a 3-pounder in the final hour of day 4. ŇThat saved it saved me that first day,Ó he added. ŇI caught a 4 and 3 in the last hour doing that.Ó
ChatterBait gear: 7Ő3Ó medium-heavy Duckett Fishing Micro Magic casting rod, unnamed casting reel (6.4:1 ratio), 17-pound P-Line fluorocarbon line, 1/2-oz. Z-Man ChatterBait (shad/blue glimmer), Zoom Super Fluke trailer (glimmer blue). He caught his biggest fish on days 1 and 4 on a 1/2-ounce Shooter jig (brown) with a Zoom Big Salty Chunk trailer (green pumpkin).
Main factor: ŇJust forgetting about the deep stuff and committing to fishing shallow. I got it in my mind that IŐd fish shallow and IŐve done that for a lot of years. When fishing marinas this time of year, youŐll get a lot of the shad fry and thereŐs a lot of activity around there. They do it around this time of year for about a month.Ó
Performance edge: ŇIŐd have to say the ChatterBait. My presentation was the key because as I got to fishing it, IŐd throw it out and swim it and then let it fall. That seemed to trigger the bites and seemed to be the key to catching the bigger fish.Ó
Kyle Mabrey's Pattern, Baits & Gear
ŇGetting to go to a Tennessee River tournament, I wait all year for these events,Ó he said. ŇItŐs such a unique fishery. Kentucky Lake is just awesome. The key was locating schools of fish, but it wasnŐt about locating massive schools for me because everyone else seemed to have found those. ŇThe places I had the most confidence in were places that held like 10 to 25 fish. It wasnŐt massive stuff, but thatŐs what I chose to target.Ó One of his prime areas was a gravel bar in 12 feet of water that had some isolated stumps on it. It was adjacent to a ditch that dumped into a creek channel and dropped from 14 feet out to 22 or 24. ŇEvery day, the fish were located in a different area of the bar,Ó he said.
Umbrella rig gear: 7Ő7Ó medium-heavy Powell Endurance Series casting rod, Shimano Chronarch casting reel (6.3:1 ratio), 65-pound Diamond braided line, unweighted 3-wire Yellow Hammer umbrella rig, 3/4-ounce Buckeye J-Will swimbaits jigs, unnamed 6Ó hollow-body swimbaits (various shad patterns). Since he was fishing Tennessee waters, he had to use a 3-wire rig. He caught them under sunny conditions and cloud cover, but he threw a version of the rig with willow blades that produced better under cloud cover. He used a fast retrieve with the umbrella rig. ŇSpeed was a key. I wasnŐt just crawling it. I had to move it fast,Ó he said. He used a 7'6" medium-heavy Powell casting rod to land a 6-pounder on a single swimbait rigged on a 3/4-ounce Buckeye J-Will jig. He also caught a couple upgrades on a Zoom Magnum OlŐ Monster worm and had another fall for a flutter spoon.
Main factor: ŇNot selling out and committing to one thing. The key was being versatile with your lures. Different lures triggered big bites in difference conditions.Ó
Performance edge: ŇTrusting in my (Hummindbird) electronics and trusting what I saw. IŐve spent a lot of time tweaking them and learning them and itŐs paid off in my last few Tennessee River offshore events. Usually out here, youŐre looking more for stucture or bait fish, but right now youŐre looking for structure and schools of fish. ThereŐs a way it looks when theyŐre bass and and way it looks when theyŐre suspended bass and also when theyŐre actively feeding catchable bass.Ó
Jim Moynagh's Pattern, Baits & Gear
He combed those ledges with his a big jig and double tail grub trailer, catching 19 of his 20 weigh fish on that combo. However, a shortage of spots that held quality bites undermined his quest for victory. He started strong, weighing more than 40 pounds through the first 2 days, but managed just shy of 27 through the weekend. He simply ran out of fish. ŇI had a lot of schools I didnŐt fish,Ó he said. ŇThey were so far away I just didnŐt get to them. On days 1 and 2, I had good bags and I didnŐt want to run south and risk killing the fish I had so I just stayed on the northern end. On day 3, I couldnŐt really run because of the wind and on day 4, I fished up north again, but the wind came up again. I tried a couple spots, but I never got as far as Paris.Ó
Jig gear: 7Ő heavy-action unnamed graphite casting rod, unnamed casting reels (7:1 and 6.2:1 ratios), 12-pound unnamed fluorocarbon line, 3/4-ounce All-Terrain Tackle Jim MoynaghŐs Football Head Jig (MoynaghŐs Magic/green pumpkin/purple), unnamed double-tail grub trailer (green pumpkin). He also threw a prototype 1-ounce version of the jig when the wind picked up. He caught one weigh fish on a Carolina-rigged soft plastic jerkbait.
Main factor: ŇJust fishing my strengths instead of trying to learn the (umbrella) rig or getting cute and fancy. IŐve done well fishing structure with a jig. It sounds simple, but it was a lot of work.Ó
Performance edge: ŇSuccess in fishing is the accumulation of so many minute details that make the difference. One thing that was nice thing to have on the rough water was a long-shaft trolling motor. It just keeps the prop in the water longer when the waves pick up.Ó
Jay Yelas' Pattern, Baits & Gear
ŇWhat I did last year worked so well, thatŐs why I fished Barkley,Ó he said. ŇNobody fishes there in our tournament and there was a huge section of lake just full of bass that no one was fishing but me. My success last year drew me back there this year.Ó He spent his entire practice session in Barkley, which he calls Ňthe forgotten lake,Ó and had enough spots pinpointed where he could catch a good one that he couldnŐt have fished them all in a day. ŇAll of the spots were oriented to the main river,Ó he said. ŇI caught a lot of fish off laydowns or logs. The topwater worked well on points and so did the shaky-head worm. I also fished some docks and brush piles. ŇI wish in every tournament I could have a 10-mile stretch all to myself. If you ever can find that, youŐll always do well. ThatŐs how itŐs been in my career.Ó
Jig gear: 7Ő6Ó medium-heavy Abu Garcia Veritas flipping rod, Abu Garcia Revo STX casting reel (6.4:1 ratio), 25-pound Berkley Trilene XT line, 5/8-oz. Berkley JayŐs FlippinŐ Jig (green pumpkin), Berkley PowerBait Chigger Craw trailer (green pumpkin). He also threw the same jig and trailer in a black/blue pairing. He opted to use monofilament when making short pitches because of the dirty water. He hadnŐt used mono since last yearŐs Kentucky Lake event. He caught five of his weigh fish on a Heddon Super Spook topwater plug. Four of his weigh fish came on a 6 1/4Ó Berkley Havoc Bottom Hopper (green pumpkin) rigged on a shaky head using 10-pound Berkley Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon line.
Main factor: ŇHaving confidence in fishing shallow in the summer there and sticking with it. ItŐs so easy to vasilate between shallow and deep with so many fish out deep. I never fished deeper than 5 feet the whole week.Ó
Performance edge: ŇMy Typhoon sunglasses were crucial. I thought they played a big role in picking out pieces of submerged wood that couldnŐt really see, but you could make out a dark shadown. My (MinnKota) Talons were huge, too. Fishing shallow like I was and in the wind, they are so valuable when fishing shallow water. I donŐt know how we did it before we had those.Ó

• Just as St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols was starting to look like the hitter fantasy owners know and love, he pulled up while running in the seventh inning of Sunday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds, striking fear into the hearts of thousands. The Cardinals said he left the game with "mild tightness" in his left hamstring and Pujols is doing his part to diffuse speculation of any serious injury. Speaking about how his hamstring felt after the game, Pujols told reporters, "The test was pretty good. I don't think it's too bad." Nonetheless, it would not be surprising if Pujols is kept out for at least the first game of the Houston series (which begins Tuesday; the team has Monday off) to ensure he is not risking further injury.
According to MLB.com, Pujols first felt the discomfort in the back of his thigh when he was about halfway down the first base line Sunday night and opted to play it safe. "I just felt a little tight, and I just pulled off," Pujols said. "I think I prefer it tight than a blown-out hamstring, you know?" Yes, Albert, fantasy owners prefer that as well.
• During that weekend series against the Cardinals, the Cincinnati Reds were without their third baseman -- and former Cardinal -- Scott Rolen as he landed on the disabled list. Rolen is officially listed as out with a sore left shoulder, but he received cortisone injections in both his shoulder and his neck on Thursday, according to Associated Press reports. Rolen has a long history of issues with his left shoulder, including a separated shoulder in 2002 and labral surgery in 2005. Rolen also had a subsequent surgery to address scar tissue in the shoulder in 2007. Given his history, it's no surprise the Reds opted to give their 36-year old corner infielder some additional down time. A report on Cincinnati.com indicated that Rolen agreed with the move. "I think that's the best course," he said. "Let everything calm itself down. Let the medicine get in there and work."
Neck, upper back and shoulder issues are often interrelated and the chronicity of Rolen's shoulder problems can certainly complicate the recovery, especially if he tries to press. While the team hopes he will only miss the minimal DL time (meaning he could return May 6), the plan will become clearer after Rolen has a few days of rest.
On Friday, we hinted that Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Aaron Hill could be headed for the DL with his strained hamstring, particularly given his problematic hamstring injury last year. Turns out, the hunch was a good one. The Blue Jays have indeed placed Hill on the DL retroactive to Wednesday. The hope has to be that this can keep the hamstring from being problematic throughout the season.
• The Philadelphia Phillies' closer carousel continues to go round. With Brad Lidge starting the season on the DL with a rotator cuff strain, Jose Contreras held down the fort. Until this past weekend, that is, when Contreras was sent to the DL with an injury to his throwing arm. Contreras has a right flexor-pronator strain (muscle mass on the inner elbow responsible for rotation of the forearm and grip on the ball) and is returning to Philadelphia for further evaluation, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Contreras had not pitched in three days after developing soreness in his forearm. If indeed it is solely a flare-up from overuse, then Contreras should be able to gradually resume throwing after a period of rest and recovery. If, however, there is a more sinister underlying problem then all timetables go out the window. In the meantime, the Phillies plan to use Ryan Madson in the closer role.
• The Texas Rangers are also forced to make a change at closer, now that Neftali Feliz is on the DL with inflammation in his throwing shoulder. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that Feliz experienced tightness in his shoulder Friday while warming up. After he struggled a bit on the mound Wednesday, the team decided not to take any chances and imposed the shutdown with the hope that he will only require the minimum stay. While any issue with a thrower's shoulder raises some red flags, the fact that the Rangers appear to have jumped on this early is encouraging.
• In the good news department, the Milwaukee Brewers have to be excited about the imminent return of outfielder Corey Hart to the lineup. Hart, who has been on the DL since the start of the season with a left oblique injury could rejoin the team Tuesday after one final rehab outing in Nashville on Monday. The Brewers website notes that the team could opt to delay his return until Wednesday. The timing of the move will depend on how Hart feels the timing of his bat is shaping up. Most importantly, there appear to be no residual effects of the injury; it's just a matter of getting Hart up to big league speed.
• Meanwhile Hart's teammate Zack Greinke had another rehab outing Sunday, the success of which depends on what you're measuring. Greinke is pain-free and his velocity was good. He appeared to fatigue and with that, lost some of his command. As Greinke told the Tennessean, "Through almost the whole first two innings I felt real good. But they had a couple long at-bats and I hadn't really had any real long innings yet." The main issue for Greinke in recent weeks is no longer the rib (which has healed) but building up his arm strength after zero spring training outings. Given that the team is interested in having him available for the remainder of the season, a return in the first week of May -- not late April as some had hoped -- appears to be the most likely scenario.
• Florida Marlins outfielder Logan Morrison has tweeted that he is out of a cast and into a walking boot. This is a good sign that he is being allowed to progress with weightbearing through his recently sprained foot, although he still has quite a ways to go before baseball activity.

SportStop.com video of Throne of String FIBER Mesh Lacrosse Stringing Piece
In this video the Trice from SportStop.com goes over the Fiber Mesh and Fiber System from Throne of String.
Transcript of the video:
What's going on guys, this is Trice with SportStop.com and today we're taking a quick look at the Fiber System from Throne Lacrosse. The whole system is comprised of three separate parts: there is the mesh, you have the strings, and then the shooters. They all work together as they share the same fiber. In fact that's how the whole system got its name. It's from when Throne Lacrosse was actually developing the product, they started from scratch with one single new fiber which led to a whole new manufacturing. But each three pieces of the system are comprised using that fiber, so they all work together for a great harmony between durability and feel and control and light weight. It all comes together because they're all sharing that same fiber but as I said, there is the mesh, which is available in white, red, black and white or the blue-black and white. You have the strings which is white, blue ,red, yellow, green, orange, and black and then lastly the shooters which is black, green, white, blue, and orange. Let's get in a nice in-depth look on the mesh like this. Alright guys, so here is the mesh from the Fiber System from Throne. Before we even look at the mesh, I wanna show you this - check this out. This is the packaging. Honestly, this is awesome. Focus that for me. It's like this little tic tac box looking thing, both flaps open up so you can get the mesh out of course. That's pretty snazzy and all three pieces come in this same packaging.so the mesh, the strings, and the shooters all come with this same little case, that's pretty fancy. But to get into the actual heart and soul of this, here is the mesh. Before I show you the white mesh, this is the blue-black and white. This is pretty crazy, it's like a two color stripe right there with white and then the edges again. Same fiber tagging on the backside of that fiber tag is the Throne logo. And then, here's the red-black and white, you can see that a little better. Again, same tag, same song too, it's the main color with that black accent and then white. Just looks really clean. But here is the real deal. So this is the white and this is exactly what it looks like when it comes out of the packaging. I'll fold it up nice and neat like this. Very clean packaging all around. And we open it up, standard piece of mesh. But let's get nice and up close on this stuff. So you get it opened up. I can feel in my hands that this is light weight stuff. This is actually pretty crazy. So let's see. So they've got cross weave on the mesh which is the weaving pattern that they're using. And between the fiber and the cross weave itself, this mesh is about 10% lighter than your standard performance mesh. In fact, if you look right here, I'll throw a screen up here so you can see me put it on scale for you. Really nice feeling mesh in your hands. Yeah, it's about 10% lighter with the cross weave and the new fiber. And on top of that, they're introducing hex diamond technology. So between the diamond and the cross weave, so the texture from the cross weave, the shape of the diamond, you're gonna get superior hold and control out of this mesh. And because of the diamond and texture, the amount of hold that you'll have is crazy considering it's not gonna give you any excess width. It's just the mesh being able to actually grip the ball little bit better. But fantastic, fantastic feel in my hands. I'll try to get like right in there so you can see it. There's the smooth side and then there's the rough side. Again cross weave. And this fiber stuff, like I said it's a three part system. So you have the mesh, the strings and the shooters all made with the same fiber, working together as a single system available in individual pieces. But best placed when put together. Really nice and simple stuff. And that's pretty much the mesh. So guys this is the Fiber System from Throne Lacrosse. Go ahead and check this out at SportStop.com and thanks for watching.

WANDA MOORE, MARYANN ROSSI, AND JUDY STENCLICK, PLAINTIFFS,v.WEBSTER CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, DEFENDANT.
This is an action alleging employment discrimination, pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII"), 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. and the New York Human Rights Law ("NYHRL"), N.Y. Exec. Law § 290, et seq., as well as violations of the Equal Pay Act ("EPA"), 29 U.S.C. § 206(d). Now before the Court is Defendant's "Motion to Dismiss/Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint" [#24] pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure ("FRCP") 12. For the reasons that follow, Defendant's motion is denied.
The following facts are taken from plaintiff's Amended Complaint [#23] in this action, unless otherwise noted. At all relevant times, plaintiffs Mary Ann Rossi ("Rossi") and Judy Stenclick ("Stenclick") were employed by the defendant school district as "Aides/Hall monitors." Further at all relevant times, plaintiff W anda Moore ("Moore") was employed by the school district as a "Sentry." It is noteworthy that prior to 2005, the position of Sentry was held only by males. However, in May 2005 Moore was hired as the school district's first and only female Sentry, as part of a Settlement Agreement between Moore and the district in resolution of certain claims of sex-based discrimination. It is alleged that Sentries "perform[ed] essentially the same job" as Aides/Hall Monitors, but received a higher wage. (Amended Complaint ¶ 17).
Moore contends that after she was hired as a Sentry, she was subjected to retaliation stemming from her previous discrimination complaint. As evidence of such retaliation, Moore alleges that: 1) she was not given a master key to the building, a cell phone, or new equipment, while male Sentries were given those items;*fn1 2) her male supervisor "decline[d] to deal with her directly," and stated that he had "a hard time dealing with women";*fn2 3) she was denied overtime; and 4) she was excluded from job-related meetings and social events. Moore also indicates that she was paid less money than the male Sentries for performing the same work.
Moore also maintains that she was subjected to a sex-based hostile work environment. Specifically, she contends that around the time she was hired as a Sentry, defendant installed "a motion sensitive video camera . . . in the 'break room' shared by Sentries and Aids" to monitor her,*fn3 and that male Sentries repeatedly barred her from the lunch room.*fn4 She also alleges that she observed male Sentries excluding female Aide/Hall Monitors from the shared break room*fn5 and ignoring the Aide/Hall Monitors' radio calls for assistance.*fn6 Moore alleges that she complained about these events to her immediate supervisor, Bill Mandell ("Mandell"), but he did nothing. Further, she alleges that she complained to Mandell's supervisor, Mr. Cunningham, however, "the treatment by her male [S]entry colleagues did not change."*fn7 On January 4, 2007, Moore resigned her position, stating that she had been subjected to "extremely unprofessional behavior" "on a daily basis."*fn8
Rossi and Stenclick also contend that they were subjected to a sex-based hostile working environment and retaliation. In that regard, they allege that male Sentries directed "hostile and abusive language" toward them, ignored their radio calls, and excluded them from the shared break room. Rossi and Stenclick also believe, like Moore, that the installation of the video camera in the break room was a form of harassment directed at them, since the camera "apparently only operated when . . . [they] were in the break room." Rossi and Stenclick maintain that they complained of harassment to the Sentries' supervisor, Mike Smith ("Smith"), who told them that he would "take care of it," but did not. Instead, they contend that Smith told them that the video camera would be removed from the break room if Rossi and Stenclick would agree to "stay out" of the break room while the male Sentries were taking their breaks. Rossi and Stenclick eventually complained to the school principal Joseph Pustulka ("Pustulka"), who removed the video camera from the break room, handed out copies of the school's anti-harassment policy, and established two separate break rooms, one for the Hall Monitor/aides and one for the Sentries, including Moore. Nevertheless, Rossi and Stenclick maintain that Pustulka's actions in this regard were discriminatory and retaliatory, because he failed to inform them that the video camera was actually fake,*fn9 and because the break room created for the Hall Monitor/Aides was a "reformed closet." Rossi and Stenclick further allege that they were paid substantially less money than the predominantly male Sentries, event though their job duties were essentially the same.
On November 6, 2006, Plaintiffs commenced the subject action. Their Amended Complaint purports to assert the following causes of action on behalf of each of the three plaintiffs: 1) hostile environment under Title VII; 2) hostile environment under the NYHRL; 3) retaliation under Title VII; 4) retaliation under the NYHRL; and 5) violation of the EPA. On May 25, 2007, Defendant filed the subject motion to strike/dismiss all of the claims in the Amended Complaint except Rossi and Stenclick's EPA claims. Defendant maintains that Moore's EPA claim, as well as all of her factual allegations concerning events prior to May 2005, are barred by the May 16, 2005 Settlement Agreement between Moore and the school district. Defendant also contends that all of Plaintiffs' retaliation and hostile environment claims fail, because Plaintiffs did not suffer an adverse employment action or experience sufficiently severe or pervasive harassment.
On September 13, 2007, counsel for the parties appeared before the undersigned for oral argument of the motions. The Court has considered the parties' written submissions and the arguments of counsel.
The 12(b)(6) Standard
Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, No. 05-1126, - U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 1955 (May 21, 2007), clarified the standard to be applied to a 12(b)(6) motion:
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2) requires only a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief, in order to give the defendant fair notice of what the claim is and the grounds upon which it rests. While a complaint attacked by a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss does not need detailed factual allegations, a plaintiff's obligation to provide the grounds of his entitlement to relief requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do. Factual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level, on the assumption that all the allegations in the complaint are true (even if doubtful in fact).
Id. at 1964-65 (citations and internal quotations omitted). See also, ATSI Communications, Inc. v. Shaar Fund, Ltd., 493 F.3d 87, 98 (2d Cir. 2007) ("To survive dismissal, the plaintiff must provide the grounds upon which his claim rests through factual allegations sufficient 'to raise a right to relief above the speculative level.'") (quoting Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly) (footnote omitted); Iqbal v. Hasty, 490 F.3d 143, 157-58 (2d Cir. 2007) (Indicating that Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly adopted "a flexible 'plausibility standard,' which obliges a pleader to amplify a claim with some factual allegations in those contexts where such amplification is needed to render the claim plausible[,]" as opposed to merely conceivable.) When applying this standard, a district court must accept the allegations contained in the complaint as true and draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the nonmoving party. Burnette v. Carothers, 192 F.3d 52, 56 (1999), cert. denied, 531 U.S. 1052 (2000).
Additionally, it is clear that "an employment discrimination complaint need not include specific facts establishing a prima facie case of discrimination and instead must contain only a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Leibowitz v. Cornell University, 445 F.3d 586, 591 (2d Cir. 2006) (citing Swierkiewicz v. Sorema, N.A., 534 U.S. 506, 508, 122 S.Ct. 992, 995 (2002); internal quotation marks omitted).
Title VII and the NYHRL Title VII "makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against any individual with respect to the 'compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.'" Richardson v. New York State Dep't of Correctional Servs. , 180 F.3d 426, 436 (2d Cir. 1999)(citations omitted), abrogated on other grounds, Kessler v. Westchester County Dept. of Social Servs. , 461 F.3d 199 (2d Cir. 2006). However, "Title VII does not establish a 'general civility code' for the American workplace. Simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents of offensive conduct (unless extremely serious) will not support a claim of discriminatory harassment." Petrosino v. Bell Atlantic, 385 F.3d 210, 223 (2d Cir. 2004) (citation omitted).
It is well settled that "claims brought under New York State's Human Rights Law are analytically identical to claims brought under Title VII." Torres v. Pisano, 116 F.3d 625, 629, n.1 (2d Cir. 1997), cert den. 522 U.S. 997 (1997). Consequently, unless otherwise noted, references to Title VII below are also intended to refer to the NYHRL.
Hostile Environment
To establish a claim of hostile work environment discrimination, a plaintiff must show that the harassment was sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of the victim's employment and create an abusive working environment. The plaintiff must show that the workplace was so severely permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult that the terms and conditions of her employment were thereby altered. Proving such a claim involves showing both objective and subjective elements: the misconduct shown must be severe or pervasive enough to create an objectively hostile or abusive work environment, and the victim must also subjectively perceive that environment to be abusive.
In addition, the plaintiff must show that a specific basis exists for imputing the objectionable conduct to the employer. Where an employee is the victim of sexual harassment, including harassment in the form of a hostile work environment, by non-supervisory co-workers, an employer's vicarious liability depends on the plaintiff showing that the employer knew (or reasonably should have known) about the harassment but failed to take appropriate remedial action.
Fairbrother v. Morrison, 412 F.3d 39, 48-49 (2d Cir. 2005) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted), abrogated on other grounds, Kessler v. Westchester County Dept. of Social Servs., 461 F.3d at 207. Consequently, "when the harassment is attributable to a co-worker, rather than a supervisor . . . the employer will be held liable only for its own negligence."
Distasio v. Perkin Elmer Corp., 157 F.3d 55, 63 (2d Cir. 1998). In this regard, the plaintiff has the burden of proving that the company either provided no reasonable avenue for complaint or knew of the harassment but did nothing about it. Under Title VII, an employer need not have actual knowledge of the harassment; an employer is considered to have notice of sexual harassment if the employer-or any of its agents or supervisory employees-knew or should have known of the conduct. The question of when an official's actual or constructive knowledge will be imputed to the employer is determined by agency principles. An official's knowledge will be imputed to an employer when: (A) the official is at a sufficiently high level in the company's management hierarchy to qualify as a proxy for the company; or (B) the official is charged with a duty to act on the knowledge and stop the harassment; or (C) the official is charged with a duty to inform the company of the harassment.
Id. at 63-64 (citations omitted).
To establish a prima facie case of retaliation under Title VII, "a plaintiff must demonstrate participation in protected activity known to the defendant, an employment action disadvantaging the person engaged in the protected activity, and a causal connection between the protected activity and the adverse employment action." Cruz v. Coach Stores, Inc ., 202 F.3d 560, 566 (2d Cir. 2000) (citations and internal quotations omitted). Making a complaint regarding harassment to one's supervisor is "protected activity" under Title VII. Id .
Retaliation claims are analyzed using the three-tier burden-shifting test "set forth in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green , 411 U.S. 792, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973), and its progeny." Valentine v.Standard & Poors , 50 F.Supp.2d 262, 281-82 (S.D.N.Y. 1999)(Citations and internal quotations omitted), aff'd , 205 F.3d 1327 (2d Cir. 2000); AbduBrisson v. Delta Air Lines, Inc. , 239 F.3d 456, 466 (2d Cir. 2001), cert den. 534 U.S. 993 (2001). Under the first tier of the McDonnell Douglas test, the plaintiff must establish a prima facie case.*fn10 If the plaintiff establishes a prima facie case, the burden shifts to the employer to articulate some legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the employee's discharge [or other adverse employment action]. At this stage, the employer need only articulate--but need not prove-- the existence of a nondiscriminatory reason for its decision.
If the defendant carries this burden of production, the presumption raised by the prima facie case is rebutted, and the factual inquiry proceeds to a new level of specificity. Once defendant meets its burden of production, the burden shifts back to plaintiff. Under the third tier of the McDonnell Douglas test, plaintiff bears the ultimate burden of proving that the reason proffered by the employer is a pretext for unlawful discrimination. In order to survive a motion for summary judgment, plaintiff must establish a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the employer's reason . . . is false and as to whether it is more likely that a discriminatory reason motivated the employer to make the adverse employment decision.
Valentine , 50 F.Supp.2d at 281-82 (Citations and internal quotations omitted); see also, Terry v. Ashcroft , 336 F.3d 128, 137-38 (2d Cir. 2003).
At the third tier of the McDonnell Douglas test, simply proving that the employer's proffered reason was false may, or may not, establish the required proof of discriminatory intent:
The ultimate question is whether the employer intentionally discriminated, and proof that "the employer's proffered reason is unpersuasive, or even obviously contrived, does not necessarily establish that the plaintiff's proffered reason is correct. In other words, it is not enough to disbelieve the employer; the factfinder must believe the plaintiff's explanation of intentional discrimination.
James v. New York Racing Ass'n , 233 F.3d 149, 156 (2d Cir. 2000) ( quoting Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods. Inc. , 120 S.Ct. 2097, 2108-09 (2000)). In this regard, "[t]he relevant factors . . . include the strength of the plaintiff's prima facie case, the probative value of the proof that the employer's explanation is false, and any other evidence that supports or undermines the employer's case." Id . (internal quotation marks omitted).
To make a prima facie showing of an adverse employment action, "a plaintiff must show that a reasonable employee would have found the challenged action materially adverse, which in this context means it well might have dissuaded a reasonable worker from making or supporting a charge of discrimination." Kessler v. Westchester County Dept. of Social Services , 461 F.3d at 207 ( citing Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co. v. White , --- U.S. ----, 126 S.Ct. 2405, 165 L.Ed.2d 345 (2006)). In this regard, "[w]hether a particular reassignment [or other employment action] is materially adverse depends upon the circumstances of the particular case, and should be judged from the perspective of a reasonable person in the plaintiff's position, considering all the circumstances." Id . at 209.
Equal Pay Act
The principles of law generally applicable to claims under the EPA are as follows:: The Equal Pay Act, passed by Congress in 1963, prohibits employers from discriminating among employees on the basis of sex by paying higher wages to employees of the opposite sex for "equal work on jobs the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions." 29 U.S.C. § 206(d)(1). To prove a violation of the EPA, a plaintiff must first establish a prima facie case of discrimination by showing: i) the employer pays different wages to employees of the opposite sex; ii) the employees perform equal work on jobs requiring equal skill, effort, and responsibility; and iii) the jobs are performed under similar working conditions.
Under the EPA, proof of the employer's discriminatory intent is not necessary for the plaintiff to prevail on her claim. Thus, a prima facie showing gives rise to a presumption of discrimination.
Once a plaintiff makes out a prima facie case under the EPA, the burden of persuasion shifts to the defendant to show that the wage disparity is justified by one of the affirmative defenses provided under the Act: "(i) a seniority system; (ii) a merit system; (iii) a system which measures earnings by quantity or quality of production; or (iv) a differential based on any other factor other than sex." 29 U.S.C. § 206(d)(1). Further, to successfully establish the "factor other than sex" defense, an employer must also demonstrate that it had a legitimate business reason for implementing the gender-neutral factor that brought about the wage differential.
Following such proof by the employer, the plaintiff may counter the employer's affirmative defense by producing evidence that the reasons the defendant seeks to advance are actually a pretext for sex discrimination. The appropriate inquiry to determine if the factor put forward is a pretext, is whether the employer has used the factor reasonably in light of the employer's stated purpose as well as its other practices.
Belfi v. Prendergast, 191 F.3d 129, 135 -136 (2d Cir. 1999) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted).
Applying these applicable principles of law, the Court finds that defendant's motion must be denied in its entirety. First, the Court denies Defendant's request to strike those allegations in the Amended Complaint pertaining to matters that were resolved by the May 16, 2005 Settlement Agreement between Moore and defendant. On this point defendant argues that "Moore's claims based on allegations of actions or omissions pre-dating the . . . Settlement Agreement are barred by the Release and claim preclusion." (Def. Memo p. 4) In that regard, defendant cites Hughes v. The Lillian Goldman Family, LLC, 153 F.Supp.2d 435, 444-46 (S.D.N.Y. 2001). However, the Hughes decision is factually inapposite, since the plaintiff in that case was attempting to re-assert claims that had previously been settled, after the defendant breached the settlement agreement. Id. The court in Hughes held that the plaintiff could not pursue the settled claims, but could pursue a separate claim for breach of the settlement agreement. Id. In the instant case, Moore is not attempting to sue for alleged acts of discrimination that were the subject of the May 16, 2005 Settlement Agreement. Instead, her allegations concerning the alleged pre-May 16, 2005 discrimination provide background information to her retaliation claim. Accordingly, Defendant's motion to strike those portions of the complaint that discuss events pre-dating the settlement agreement is denied.*fn11*fn12
Defendant further contends that Moore's EPA claim is barred by the May 16, 2005 settlement agreement, in which she agreed to a specific hourly wage as part of the settlement agreement.*fn13 However, Moore did not agree, as part of the May 16, 2005 settlement agreement, to give up her rights to bring a future EPA action, and such an agreement would have been unenforceable in any event. Schwartz v. Florida Bd. of Regents, 807 F.2d 901, 906 (11th Cir. 1987) ("There can be no prospective waiver of an employee's rights under . . . the Fair Labor Standards Act, a portion of which is the Equal Pay Act, because this would nullify the purposes of the statute and thwart the legislative policies it was designed to effectuate.") (citations and internal quotation marks omitted). Consequently, defendant's motion to dismiss Moore's EPA claim is denied.
Lastly, Defendant contends that none of the plaintiffs have stated claims of retaliation or hostile environment. Specifically, Defendant maintains that the retaliation claims fail because the alleged acts of retaliation were not materially adverse, and that the hostile environment claims fail because the alleged acts of harassment were not sufficiently severe or pervasive. Alternatively, Defendant contends that Plaintiffs' allegations are too conclusory. However, the Court disagrees with Defendant and finds that Plaintiffs' allegations are sufficient to survive a Rule 12(b)(6) motion.
For all of the foregoing reasons, defendant's application [#24] is denied in its entirety.

Medicare Physician Payments:
Concerns about Spending Target System Prompt Interest in Considering Reforms
GAO-05-85: Published: Oct 8, 2004. Publicly Released: Oct 8, 2004.

(202) 512-7681
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Concerns were raised about the current system Medicare uses to determine annual changes to physician fees--the sustainable growth rate (SGR) system--when fees were reduced by 5.4 percent in 2002. Subsequent administrative and legislative actions modified or overrode the SGR system, resulting in fee increases for 2003, 2004, and 2005. However, projected fee reductions for 2006-2012 have raised new concerns about the SGR system. Policymakers are considering whether to eliminate spending targets or modify them. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) required that GAO study SGR and potential alternatives to the system. This report examines (1) how the SGR system is designed to control spending for physician services, (2) what concerns have been raised about the SGR system and its components, (3) what affects the stability and predictability of physician fee updates under the SGR system, and (4) what alternatives to the current SGR system exist. GAO reviewed relevant laws and regulations and interviewed officials and organizations representing physicians. On the basis of this information, GAO identified potential alternatives to the SGR system and requested illustrative simulations of fee updates and spending on physician services from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
To moderate Medicare spending for physician services, the SGR system sets spending targets and adjusts physician fees based on the extent to which actual spending aligns with specified targets. If growth in the number of services provided to each beneficiary--referred to as volume--and in the average complexity and costliness of services--referred to as intensity--is high enough to cause spending to exceed the SGR target, fee updates are set lower than inflation in the cost of operating a medical practice. A wide enough gap between spending and the target results in fee reductions. Physician groups are dissatisfied with SGR as a system to update physician fees. For example, they question the fairness of including rapidly growing spending for physician-administered drugs in the SGR system's definition of physician services expenditures. The groups also contend that the allowance for growth in volume and intensity is too low and lacks the flexibility to allow for factors outside physicians' control. Fee updates under the SGR system have varied widely within an allowed range largely because of annual fluctuations in the growth of the volume and intensity of services that physicians provide to beneficiaries. Certain system design features, such as the use of cumulative spending targets and the need to estimate data, also reduce the stability and predictability of updates. However, MMA's revision of the allowance for growth in volume and intensity of services from an annual change to a 10-year moving average will help to make future updates more stable and predictable. Possible alternatives to the SGR system cluster around the two broad approaches under consideration: (1) end the use of spending targets and separate fee updates from explicit efforts to moderate spending growth or (2) retain spending targets but modify the current SGR system to address perceived shortcomings. CMS projects that either of the two approaches will result in higher aggregate spending, thereby increasing the difficulty of addressing Medicare's long-run financial challenges. The first approach emphasizes stable fee updates, while the second approach automatically adjusts fee updates if spending growth deviates from a predetermined target. While seeking to pay physicians appropriately, it is important to consider how modifications or alterations to the SGR system would affect the long-term sustainability and affordability of the Medicare program. In this context, the choice between the two approaches may hinge on whether primary consideration should be given to stable fee increases or to the need for fiscal discipline within the Medicare program. CMS agreed with the concluding observations in the draft report. Groups representing physicians commented that overall, the draft report offered a good analysis of problems with the SGR system, but did not fully reflect their concerns. We modified the draft as appropriate.

Pace Resumed By Legislators After a Break
By JERRY GRAY,
Published: July 21, 1992
TRENTON, July 20— Returning to Trenton after a break in which the Republican-controlled Legislature took a brief post-budget vacation and Gov. Jim Florio attended the Democratic National Convention, the two sides today resumed their work -- and warfare -- with a blur of activity.
The State Senate proposed an amendment to make more politically palatable a bill to repeal the law barring assault weapons, dropped plans to revamp the state's method of financing public school education and banned the police from using photo radar to catch speeding motorists.
The Governor weighed in with his second veto of a Republican effort to extend building permits to allow contractors to avoid having to reapply. The bill called for automatic extensions of permits that have expired or will expire between Jan. 1, 1989, and Dec. 31, 1994.
These were among today's actions: Assault Weapons
The Senate Republican majority voted today to amend an Assembly bill that lifts the state ban on semiautomatic assault weapons. The Senate version would prohibit two of the most widely known rapid-fire firearms, the AK-47 and the Uzi.
Of the move, the Governor's spokesman, Jon Shure, said, "It's another attempt to camouflage this bill by banning the two most commonly known assault weapons but legalizing a host of others that will kill you just as dead and just as fast."
Jeffrey T. Michaels, deputy director of the Senate Republican Office, defended the repeal legislation, saying it left in place some of the strictest regulations in the nation for ownership of semiautomatic weapons.
The Assembly voted in May to repeal the state's two-year-old ban on semiautomatic assault weapons. The Senate is to vote on the bill on Thursday but amended it today. If the amended bill passes, it will go to the Assembly for another vote and then to Mr. Florio, who is expected to veto it, setting up an override attempt. Quality Education Act
The Senate backed down on a plan to dismantle Mr. Florio's Quality Education Act.
After protests by churches and civil rights and civil liberties organizations, the Senate President, Donald T. DiFrancesco, said today that he would not seek a vote on a proposed constitutional amendment that would give the Republicans the framework for a replacement of the law. "There appears to be little support for this measure because most people don't understand its purpose," he said.
For the proposed amendment to appear on the Nov. 3 ballot, it would have to be approved by both houses of the Legislature by Thursday.
The State Constitution now requires that a "thorough and efficient" education be provided to every child in the state. The State Supreme Court has used this to mandate increased funds for poorer, mostly urban districts to insure parity with wealthier suburban districts. The education act, passed in 1990 by a Democratic-led Legislature, went well beyond the court orders, allocating $800 million in state funds for poorer school districts while weaning richer districts of all state aid. Photo Radar
Without debate or comment, the Senate gave unanimous and final legislative approval today to a bill to ban police use of photo radar detectors.
"Use of this 'Big Brother is watching you' tactic is absolutely unnecessary for a variety of reasons," said the Senate majority leader, John H. Dorsey, the bill's sponsor with a fellow Republican, Jack Sinagra.
The bill, which the Assembly passed on June 11, now goes to the Governor's desk. If he signs the bill, it would bring an abrupt end to a pilot photo radar program that began in April under a $250,000 Federal grant.

Big Bird's Square Meal is a 1988 Sesame Street storybook containing two short stories.
- "Big Bird's Square Meal": Granny Bird comes to visit Big Bird for a picnic, with Cookie Monster and Elmo. During their picnic, they learn about shapes from the various items in their meal.
- "Who Ever Heard of a Purple Puppy?": Ernie and Bert decide to draw pictures on a rainy morning. Bert draws a pigeon, while Ernie draws a picture of a purple puppy against a pink sky with a yellow tree. Bert tries to teach Ernie about what colors one encounters in the real world (although this being Sesame Street, practical examples such as blue skies are also contrasted with blue fur), but he then sees a purple puppy himself.

IN THE MATTER OF PAUL RUGGIERO, PETITIONER,v.JEAN-ANN MCGRANE, ET AL., RESPONDENTS.
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, inter alia, to review a determination of the City Manager of the City of Newburgh dated October 9, 2007, which, after a hearing, sustained certain charges of misconduct and dismissed the petitioner from his employment.
This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the Official Reports.
ROBERT A. SPOLZINO, J.P., DANIEL D. ANGIOLILLO, CHERYL E. CHAMBERS and PLUMMER E. LOTT, JJ.
(Index No. 1423/08)
ADJUDGED that the petition is granted, on the law, without costs or disbursements, to the extent that the matter is remitted to the respondents to compute the amount of back pay, if any, owed to the petitioner in accordance herewith, the determination is otherwise confirmed, and the proceeding is otherwise dismissed on the merits.
Contrary to the petitioner's contention, the determination of the City Manager of the City of Newburgh was supported by substantial evidence in the record (see Matter of Berenhaus v Ward, 70 NY2d 436, 443). The penalty imposed is not so disproportionate to the offense as to be shocking to one's sense of fairness, thus constituting an abuse of discretion as a matter of law (see Matter of Rutkunas v Stout, 8 NY3d 897, 899; Matter of Pell v Board of Educ. of Union Free School Dist. No. 1 of Towns of Scarsdale & Mamaroneck, Westchester County, 34 NY2d 222, 233). Nevertheless, the petitioner correctly contends that he is entitled to back pay for the period he was suspended without pay in excess of 30 days, excluding any delay occasioned by him, as provided in Civil Service Law § 75(3) (see Butler v County of Dutchess, 3 AD3d 563; Matter of Moorehead v New York City Tr. Auth., 190 AD2d 674, 675).

Brands Taking Place in Spotlight
It's a scene familiar from countless home-improvement shows: An aging property stands ready for a radical redesign. A diverse team must put in a new addition with limited funds and resources.
But what could be a segment on such new home-improvement shows as TBS Superstation's "House Rules" or USA Network's "House Wars" is playing out in actuality behind the scenes at many cable networks. The blueprints are being redrawn to construct what was traditionally the programming equivalent of aluminum siding -- product integration -- as the foundation for new series.
"In the old days of product placement, it was all about, 'Can you work it in somewhere?"' said Kevin McAuliffe, senior vp cross-platform initiatives at Universal Television Group. "Now it gets built in instead of being forced in."
As the TV industry experiments with introducing commercial messages outside of the 30-second spot model in projects like the NBC series "The Restaurant," a new breed of series, including "Rules," which premiered Friday, and "Wars," demonstrate how the product integration that was once an afterthought in cable programming is becoming one of the first steps in the development phase.
As a result, brand labels once buried in the background of a scene are ready for their close-ups, commanding the kind of tailor-made vehicles typically lavished on bankable actors.
"More and more, the two words 'product placement' are spoken very early in the development process," said Bruce David Klein, president of Atlas Media Corp., the production company behind cable series like "Top 5" on the Food Network. "It's just on the edge right now in basic cable. It's just getting to the point where the networks are completely overhauling how they think about it."
Products are getting star treatment out of economic necessity. Traditional supplementary funding sources for programming including international co-production and home video are drying up, leaving advertisers as viable investors. The marketers themselves are looking for new avenues to plug their wares in anticipation of digital video recorders with ad-skipping abilities hitting critical mass.
Enter "Rules," which tracks three sets of couples as they compete to remodel their dream houses. The series came out of discussions between Magna Global Entertainment (which has served as matchmaker between networks and advertisers represented by its parent company, Interpublic Group of Cos., for series like "Restaurant") and Evolution Film & Tape (the production company whose credits include "Fear Factor" and "Big Brother").
Magna was looking for a program to showcase Lowe's, the home-improvement retail chain. After Magna and Evolution hit upon the concept for "Rules," they received interest from TBS, a longtime collaborator with advertisers on franchises like "Dinner & a Movie."
What followed was five months of preproduction to map exactly how the Lowe's brand would be integrated into "Rules." The extensive planning was necessary to meld two worlds governed by separate laws of physics: commercials and reality television. While advertising depends on creating a tightly choreographed atmosphere to highlight a product, reality TV thrives on maximum unpredictability.
Linda Yaccarino, senior vp and general manager of sales at Turner Entertainment Group, was charged with protecting Lowe's marketing needs without sacrificing entertainment value. "You run a very delicate balance between something that resonates with a viewer and something that looks like an infomercial," she said.
Workshops were set up to instruct producers, cameramen, sound technicians -- even the contestants -- on the guidelines for presenting the Lowe's brand in every conceivable scenario on "Rules," from how the retailer's trucks would deliver supplies to the contestants to how the store's interiors and its sales clerks would be depicted.
Accustomed to producing well-lit commercials with actors playing the clerks, Lowe's representatives were nervous about letting "Rules" shoot actual transactions.
"I think it was a little scary at first for the Lowe's folks not to paint every picture in the store like they wanted to," Evolution president Douglas Ross said. "But if you try to make this a commercial and try to design every interaction and every shot, it's not going to work."
Similar in format to "Rules," USA's "Wars" has its own heavily embedded main sponsor in Home Depot. Universal also is signing up advertisers for product integration in the second season of USA's "Nashville Star" as well as an upcoming miniseries on Sci Fi Channel.
"There is much more discussion going on prior to greenlighting than I've ever seen," McAuliffe said. "I wouldn't be surprised to see deals down the road where some marketer will get to produce two hours of original programming as part of an upfront buy."
While other cable networks ranging from ABC Family to Discovery Channel explore similar arrangements, not everyone has jumped on the product-integration bandwagon. Scripps Networks, which owns such cable channels as Food Network, HGTV and Fine Living, is sticking to its strict church-state separation of programming and advertising.
"We have the integrity of the content to think about," Scripps senior vp ad sales Jon Steinlauf said. "There are other concerns as well regarding repeatability and category exclusivity that keep us from going in that direction."
