The Vespa PX200 is the latest edition of the classic, original Vespa. It directly follows the bloodlines of the Piaggio familys original Vespa (Italian for wasp), which first rolled off the production line in 1946... a true enthusiasts machine. It has been discreetly updated with more modern features such as a disc front brake, oil injection, CDI ignition and electric start. But you still change gears manually, using the left hand grip, and a spare wheel comes along for the ride. This is the original but there are not many left, so be quick to secure a modern classic.

Ginger's comments
Since this page is about me, Mom said I could make some comments and tell about myself. I am a brown(in our breed, this is called ginger) and white girl, Ginger became my name because of my color, but it is also a very pretty name. I like it! I am the only one now that still does not have a home to go to, but my human mom says not to worry. I am a very sweet and cuddly girl who loves to be held. I also love to play, to explore and find new things, and to climb pant legs. Well, anyway, I try to climb pant legs. I really don't know why anyone would prefer a boy! I think there was more than little gender preference working there, but mom says that I allowed. Since this was written, I have found a wonderful home, bu Mom promised she would keep my pictues on the page until she found another very pretty puppy.
My brother and I are exploring the dog bed that is full of toys, and us, of course! I like the big grey one that is on the floor.
Look! I found something good to pull on. Bet I can get the whole blanket down on the floor!
Look, a leg! And there is a person up there who may just know how to do tummy rubs! I'm gonna climb...and climb...
Guess I'm too little to get all the way-y-y up there. But look what I found now. A shoe..with shoe laces!

Here are some things to watch for Friday night:
League plays starts for most area teams.
The Federal League will have two key games in Week 4: Perry (2-1) at Lake (3-0) and Canton McKinley (0-3) at North Canton Hoover (2-1).
The Northeastern Buckeye Conference title could ultimately be decided tonight when conference favorites meet as Northwest (3-0) visits Louisville (2-1).
Norwayne (3-0) will get a chance to prove that it is worthy of being considered the favorite to win the Wayne County Athletic League when it faces Smithville (1-2) in the league opener for both teams.
Last season's City Series co-champions will meet Saturday when Ellet (2-1) visits Buchtel (0-3).
Here are some non-league games that should be interesting:
Brunswick (3-0) at Nordonia (3-0).
Garfield (2-1) at Walsh Jesuit (3-0).
Hudson (3-0) at Strongsville (1-2).
Archbishop Hoban (1-2) vs. St. Vincent-St. Mary (3-0) at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Rubber Bowl.
Random facts
*Walsh Jesuit coach Gerry Rardin is closing in on his 200th career win. Rardin, who is in his 28th year as Warriors' coach, has 198 wins heading into Friday's game against Garfield.
*Barberton (1-2) visits Revere (1-2) in the Suburban League opener for both teams. Barberton will look to earn its first Suburban League win. The Magics joined the Suburban League two years ago have gone 0-14 in league play since.
*Stow (3-0) is averaging 49 points per game. The Bulldogs, who were 2-8 in each of the past two seasons, face Twinsburg (0-3) in Week 4.
*CVCA junior running back John Pettigrew is averaging 10.6 yards per carry. In three games, he has carried the ball 45 times for 477 yards and four touchdowns. CVCA (3-0) faces Tusky Valley (2-1) in an important PAC-7 opener for both teams.

|Nevada State Plan; Eligibility for Final Approval Determination; Proposal to Grant an Affirmative Final Approval Determination; Comment Period and Opportunity To Request Public Hearing.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
29 CFR Part 1952
[Docket No. T-033]
Nevada State Plan; Eligibility for Final Approval Determination; Proposal to Grant an Affirmative Final Approval Determination; Comment Period and Opportunity To Request Public Hearing
AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor.
ACTION: Proposed final State plan approval; request for written comments; notice of opportunity to request informal public hearing.
SUMMARY: This document gives notice of the eligibility of the Nevada State occupational safety and health plan, as administered by the Nevada Division of Industrial Relations, for determination under section 18(e) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 as to whether final approval of the State plan should be granted.
If an affirmative determination under section 18(e) is made, Federal standards and enforcement authority will no longer apply to issues covered by the Nevada plan. This document announces that OSHA is soliciting written public comment regarding whether or not final State plan approval should be granted, and offers an opportunity to interested persons to request an informal public hearing on the question of final State plan approval.
DATES: Written comments or requests for a hearing should must be received by December 16, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Written comments or requests for a hearing should be submitted, in duplicate, to the Docket Officer, Docket No. T-033, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N2625 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington. DC 20210, (202) 693-2350. Comments limited to 10 pages or fewer may also be transmitted by FAX to: (202) 693-1648, provided that the original and one copy of the comment are sent to the Docket Office immediately thereafter. Electronic comments may be submitted on the Internet at: http://ecomments.osha.gov
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bonnie Friedman, Director, Office of Information and Consumer Affairs, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N3637, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210, (202) 693-1999.
Section 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, 29 U.S.C. 651, et seq, (the "Act") provides that States which desire to assume responsibility for the development and enforcement of occupational safety and health standards may do so by submitting, and obtaining Federal approval of a State plan. Procedures for State Plan submission and approval are set forth in regulations at 29 CFR Part 1902. If the Assistant Secretary, applying the criteria set forth in section 18(c) of the Act and 29 CFR 1902.3 and .4, finds that the plan provides or will provide for State standards and enforcement which are at least as effective as Federal standards and enforcement, "initial approval" is granted. A State may commence operations under its plan after this determination is made, but the Assistant Secretary retains discretionary Federal enforcement authority during the initial approval period as provided by section 18(e) of the Act. A State plan may receive initial approval even though, upon submission, it does not fully meet the criteria set forth in §§ 1902.3 and 1902.4, if it includes satisfactory assurances by the State that it will take the necessary "developmental steps" to meet the criteria within a three- year period (29 CFR 1902.2(b)). The Assistant Secretary publishes a "certification of completion of developmental steps" when all of a State's developmental commitments have been satisfactorily met (29 CFR 1902.34).
When a State plan that has been granted initial approval is developed sufficiently to warrant a suspension of concurrent Federal enforcement activity, it becomes eligible to enter into an "operational status agreement" with OSHA (29 CFR 1954.3(f)). A State must have enacted its enabling legislation, promulgated State standards, achieved an adequate level of qualified personnel, and established a system for review of contested enforcement actions. Under these voluntary agreements, concurrent Federal enforcement will not be initiated with regard to Federal occupational safety and health standards in those issues covered by the State plan, where the State program is providing an acceptable level of protection.
Following the initial approval of a complete plan, or the certification of a developmental plan, the Assistant Secretary must monitor and evaluate actual operations under the plan for a period of at least one year to determine, on the basis of actual operations under the plan, whether the criteria set forth in section 18(c) of the Act and 29 CFR 1902.37 are being applied and whether final approval should be granted.
An affirmative determination under section 18(e) of the Act (usually referred to as "final approval" of the State plan) results in the relinquishment of authority for Federal concurrent enforcement jurisdiction in the State with respect to occupational safety and health issues covered by the plan (29 U.S.C. 667(e)). Procedures for section 18(e) determinations are found at 29 CFR Part 1902, Subpart D. In general, in order to be granted final approval, actual performance by the State must be "at least as effective" overall as the Federal OSHA program in all areas covered under the State plan.
An additional requirement for final approval consideration is that a State must meet the compliance staffing levels, or benchmarks, for safety inspectors and industrial hygienists established by OSHA for that State. This requirement stems from a 1978 Court Order by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (AFL-CIO v. Marshall, C.A. No. 74-406), pursuant to a U.S. Court of Appeals decision, that directed the Assistant Secretary to calculate for each State plan State the number of enforcement personnel needed to assure a "fully effective" enforcement program.
The last requirement for final approval consideration is that a State must participate in OSHA's Integrated Management Information System (IMIS). This is required so that OSHA can obtain the detailed program performance data on a State necessary to make an objective continuing evaluation of whether the State performance meets the statutory and regulatory criteria for final approval.
History of the Nevada Plan and of Its Compliance Staffing Benchmarks
Nevada Plan
On December 12, 1972, Nevada submitted an occupational safety and health plan in accordance with section 18(b) of the Act and 29 CFR Part 1902, Subpart C, and on March 16, 1973 a notice was published in the Federal Register (38 FR 7157) concerning the submission of the plan, announcing that initial Federal approval of the plan was at issue and offering interested persons 30 days in which to submit data, views and arguments in writing concerning the plan.
Written comments concerning the plan were submitted on behalf of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). No other written comments were received, and no request for an informal hearing was received. In response to concerns raised by the AFL-CIO, as well as issues noted by OSHA, the State made clarifications and revisions to its plan, particularly in the areas of employee rights. Thereafter, on January 4, 1974, the Assistant Secretary published a Federal Register notice (39 FR 1008) granting initial approval of the Nevada plan as a developmental plan and adopting Subpart W of Part 1952 containing the decision and describing the plan.
The Nevada Division of Industrial Relations in the State Department of Business and Industry is designated as the agency having responsibility for administering the plan throughout the State under the authority of the Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Act (Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 618). The plan covers all private sector employers with the exception of private employers on Indian land, Federal employers and, to the extent that any exist in Nevada, employers engaged in longshoring and maritime operations upon any navigable waters in the State. Such employers remain subject to Federal OSHA jurisdiction. Federal OSHA also retains authority for coverage of the United States Postal Service (USPS), including USPS employees, contract employees, and contractor-operated facilities engaged in USPS mail operations. The State's coverage extends to all State and local government employers. The plan provides for the automatic adoption by Nevada of standards which are identical to Federal occupational safety and health standards, on the effective date of the Federal standard, unless the State adopts an alternate standard which is as effective as the Federal standard. The plan requires employers to furnish employment and place of employment which is free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm, and to comply with all occupational safety and health standards promulgated by the State agency. Employees are required to comply with all standards and regulations applicable to their conduct.
The plan contains provisions similar to Federal procedures governing: inspection and citation procedures; emergency temporary standards; imminent danger proceedings; coverage under the general duty clause; variances; safeguards to protect trade secrets; protection of employees against discrimination for exercising their rights under the plan; and employer and employee rights to participate in inspection and review proceedings. Notices of contest of citations and penalties are heard by the Occupational Safety and Health Review Board, an independent administrative board. Decisions of the Review Board may be appealed to the appropriate State District Court.
The Assistant Secretary's initial approval of the Nevada developmental plan, a general description of the plan, a schedule of required developmental steps, and a provision for the exercise of discretionary concurrent Federal enforcement during the period of initial approval were codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR Part 1952, Subpart W, 39 FR 1008, January 4, 1974).
In accordance with the State's developmental schedule, all major structural components of the plan were put in place and documentation submitted for OSHA approval on or before January 1, 1977. These "developmental steps" included enactment of amendments to the Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Act, promulgation of State occupational safety and health standards identical to Federal standards and establishment of a public employee program. In completing these developmental steps, the State developed and submitted for Federal approval all components of its program including, among other things: regulations for inspections, citations and proposed penalties; recordkeeping and reporting regulations; variance regulations; compliance procedures; and, rules of procedure for the Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Review Board.
These submissions were carefully reviewed by OSHA; after opportunity for public comment and modification of State submissions, where appropriate, the major plan elements were approved by the Assistant Secretary as meeting the criteria of section 18 of the Act and 29 CFR 1902.3 and 1902.4. The Nevada Subpart of 29 CFR Part 1952 was amended to reflect each of these approval determinations (see 29 CFR 1952.292).
On August 13, 1981, in accordance with procedures at 29 CFR 1902.34 and 1902.35, the Assistant Secretary certified that Nevada had satisfactorily completed all developmental steps (46 FR 42844; August 25, 1981). In certifying the plan, the Assistant Secretary found the structural features of the program -- the statutes, standards, regulations, and written procedures for administering the Nevada plan -- to be as effective as corresponding Federal provisions. Certification does not, however, entail findings or conclusions by OSHA concerning adequacy of actual plan performance. As has already been noted, OSHA regulations provide that certification initiates a period of evaluation and monitoring of State activity to determine in accordance with section 18(e) of the Act whether the statutory or regulatory criteria for State plans are being applied in actual operations under the plan and whether final approval should be granted.
On December 9, 1981, OSHA and the State of Nevada entered into an Operational Status Agreement which suspended the exercise of Federal concurrent enforcement authority in Nevada in all except specifically identified areas. (See 47 FR 25323).
The State has submitted plan supplements describing changes to its program since plan approval. OSHA's approval of major plan changes has been announced in Federal Register notices published periodically. Approval of more recent change submissions will be published in the Federal Register as appropriate.
Nevada Benchmarks
Under the terms of a 1978 Court Order in AFL-CIO v. Marshall, compliance staffing levels (benchmarks) necessary for a "fully effective" enforcement program were required to be established for each State operating an approved State plan. In 1980, in response to the Court Order, OSHA established benchmarks for all approved State plans, including benchmarks of 7 safety and 9 health compliance officers for Nevada. The 1978 Court Order noted that new information might warrant an adjustment by OSHA of the fully effective benchmarks. In July 1986, Nevada, in conjunction with OSHA, completed a reassessment of the levels resulting in proposed revised compliance staffing benchmarks of 11 safety and 5 health compliance officers. After opportunity for public comment and service on the AFL-CIO, the Assistant Secretary approved these revised staffing requirements on September 11, 1987 (52 FR 34381).
Determination of Eligibility
This Federal Register notice announces the eligibility of the Nevada plan for final approval determination under section 18(e). (29 CFR 1902.39(c) requires that notice of this determination of eligibility be published in order to seek public input prior to the Assistant Secretary's decision.) The determination of eligibility is based upon OSHA's findings that:
(1) The Nevada plan has been monitored in actual operation for at least one year following certification. The results of OSHA's monitoring of the plan since the commencement of plan operations are contained in written evaluation reports which are made available to the State and to the public. The results of OSHA's most recent post- certification monitoring are set forth in a comprehensive evaluation report covering the period of July 1, 1995 through March 31, 1999, with special attention to the period from October 1, 1997 to March 31, 1999, which has been made part of the record of the present proceedings and is available in Docket T-033, together with all previous evaluation reports since 1981.
(2) The plan meets the State's revised benchmarks for enforcement staffing. On September 11, 1987, pursuant to the terms of the Court Order and the 1980 Report to the Court in AFL-CIO v. Marshall, OSHA approved revised fully effective benchmarks of 11 safety and 5 health compliance officers for Nevada based on an assessment of State-specific characteristics and historical experiences. Nevada has allocated positions well in excess of these numbers, as evidenced by the FY 1999 Application for Federal Assistance in which the State has committed itself to funding the State share of salaries for 22 safety and 9 health compliance officers. The FY 1999 grant application has been made part of the record in the present proceeding.
Nevada provides State funds for its program well in excess of the 50% match of Federal funding required. The additional funds have allowed the State to expand staffing and activities in both its enforcement and voluntary compliance programs.
(3) Nevada participates and has assured its continued participation in the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) developed by OSHA.
Like other States with approved plans, Nevada has developed a five-year Strategic Plan to guide its efforts to improve occupational safety and health in the State. The State's strategic goals are similar to those of Federal OSHA (improve workplace safety and health, change workplace culture, and assure public confidence). The Strategic Plan and the FY 1999 Annual Performance Plan are available in Docket T-033.
Issues for Determination in the 18(e) Proceedings
The Nevada plan is now at issue before the Assistant Secretary for determination as to whether the criteria of section 18(c) of the Act are being applied in actual operation in a manner at least as effective as the Federal program. 29 CFR 1902.37(a) requires the Assistant Secretary, as part of the final approval process to determine if the State has applied and implemented all the specific criteria and indices of effectiveness of §§ 1902.3 and 1902.4. The Assistant Secretary must make this determination by considering the factors set forth in § 1902.37(b). OSHA believes that the results of its evaluation of the Nevada program as described in the most recent evaluation report, considered in light of these regulatory criteria and the criteria in section 18(c) of the Act, indicate that the regulatory indices and criteria are being met. The Assistant Secretary accordingly has made an initial determination that the Nevada plan is eligible for an affirmative section 18(e) determination. This notice initiates proceedings by which OSHA expects to elicit public comment on the issue of granting an affirmative section 18(e) determination to Nevada. In order to encourage the submission of informed and specific public comment, a summary of current evaluation findings with respect to these criteria is set forth below.
(a) Standards and Variances. Section 18(c)(2) of the Act requires State plans to provide for occupational safety and health standards which are at least as effective as Federal standards. A State is required to adopt, in a timely manner, all Federal standards and amendments or to develop and promulgate State standards and amendments at least as effective as the Federal standards. See §§ 1902.37(b)(3), 1902.3(c), 1902.4 (a) and (b). The Nevada plan provides for the automatic adoption of standards which are identical to Federal standards. A new standard becomes effective in Nevada on the effective date of the Federal standard. The State may adopt alternative standards and has adopted some standards which do not have Federal counterparts, such as standards concerning ammonium perchlorate and tower cranes. Nevada also has regulations requiring pre-construction safety conferences with the Division of Industrial Relations for certain types of construction projects.
The State also requires employers with more than 10 employees to implement safety and health programs, including a safety and health committee for employers with more than 25 employees. For issues where OSHA is considering issuing a rule, as in the case of safety and health programs, the agency does not take action to decide whether the State plan requirements are at least as effective until the Federal action is complete. Nor can OSHA review this requirement for compliance with the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which is independently administered by the National Labor Relations Board. The Board's General Counsel has noted in a written opinion that committee requirements under State law do not amount to a per se violation of the NLRA; however, the General Counsel has pointed out that employers must comply with State laws in a manner which does not constitute an unfair labor practice under the NLRA. Nevada's standards adoption process continued to meet the six-month time frame for adoption of OSHA standards requiring State action during the section 18(e) evaluation period. [18(e) Evaluation Report, page 16]
Where a State adopts Federal standards, the State's interpretation and application of such standards must be consistent with Federal interpretation and application. Where a State develops and promulgates its own standards, interpretation and application must ensure protection at least as effective as comparable Federal standards and enforcement procedures. While acknowledging the effectiveness of individual standards, this requirement stresses that State standards, in actual operation, must be at least as effective as the Federal standards. See §§ 1902.37(b)(4), 1902(c)(1), 1902.3(d)(l), 1903.4(a), and 1902.4(b)(2). As already noted, the Nevada plan provides for adoption of standards identical to Federal standards. Nevada also generally adopts Federal interpretations and thus assures at least as effective worker protection.
The State is required to take the necessary administrative, judicial or legislative action to correct any deficiency in its program caused by an administrative or judicial challenge to any State standard, whether the standard is identical to the Federal standards or developed by the State. See § 1902.37(b)(5). No such challenge to State standards has ever occurred in Nevada.
When granting permanent variances from standards, the State is required to ensure that the employer provides as safe and healthful working conditions as would have been provided if the standard were in effect. See §§ 1902.37(b)(6) and 1902.4(b)(2)(iv). Nevada had five requests for permanent variances during the 18(e) evaluation period. Two requests were approved, two were denied, and one was canceled. The granted variances were processed in accordance with State procedures. [18(e) Evaluation Report, p. 16.] Where a temporary variance is granted, the State must ensure, among other things, that the employer complies with the standard as soon as possible and provides appropriate interim employee protection. See §§ 1902.37(b)(7) and 1902.4(b)(2)(iv). The Nevada temporary variance procedures require that any employer granted a temporary variance must have an effective program for coming into compliance with the standard as soon as possible. During the section 18(e) evaluation period, no temporary variance requests were received. [18(e) Evaluation Report. p.16].
(b) Enforcement. Section 18(c)(2) of the Act requires State plans to maintain an enforcement program which is at least as effective as that conducted by Federal OSHA. Section 18(c)(3) requires the State plan to provide for right of entry and inspection of all work places at least as effective as that in section 8 of the Act.
Inspection Targeting. The State inspection program must provide for sufficient resources to be directed to designated target industries while providing adequate protection to all other workplaces covered under the plan. See §§ 1902.37(b)(8), 1902.3(d)(l), and 1902.4(c). Nevada uses a list of high hazard industries provided by OSHA to schedule programmed general industry inspections and uses Dodge Reports and local knowledge to schedule construction inspections. The State's strategic plan is focusing on three industries with high rates of injuries and illnesses: manufacturing, construction and hotel/casinos. During the period from October 1997 though March 1999, 53% of the State's safety inspections and 11% of health inspections were programmed. During this period the 68% of programmed safety inspections and 71% of programmed health inspections uncovered violations. This exceeds the percentage of Federal programmed inspections with violations and indicates that the State's targeting system is effective. [18(e) Evaluation Report, p. 7]
Denials of Entry. In cases of refusal of entry, the State must exercise its authority, through appropriate means, to enforce the right of entry and inspection. See §§ 1902.37(b)(9). 1902.3 (e) and (f), and 1902.4(c)(2)(i) and (ix). Section 618.325 of the Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Act provides for an inspector's right of entry during regular hours to any place of employment. During the evaluation period, there were 14 denials of entry. Entry was achieved in 11 of these cases. This exceeds the Federal experience during the period. [18(e) Evaluation Report, p. 9]
Inspection Procedures. Inspections must be conducted in a competent manner following approved enforcement procedures which include the requirement that inspectors acquire information adequate to support any citation issued. See §§ 1902.37(b)(10), 1902.3(d)(1), and 1902.4(c)(2). Procedures for the Nevada occupational safety and health compliance program are set out in the Nevada Operations Manual, which is patterned after Federal compliance documents, and the State follows inspection procedures, including documentation procedures, which are similar to Federal procedures. The Evaluation Report notes overall adherence by Nevada to these procedures.
Identifying and Citing Hazards: Nevada cited an average of 2.7 violations per safety inspection and 3.3 violations per health inspection. In addition to issuing citations, the State issues "Notices of Violation" for other-than-serious violations that do not carry a penalty, when the employer agrees to abate the violation and not to contest. During the evaluation period, 27% of both safety and health violations were cited as serious. The percentage of serious safety and health violations was lower than the comparable Federal percentages. While OSHA has disagreed with the State on the classification of some violations in the past, no systemic problems relating to violation classification have been found. The State continues to provide compliance officers with specific training and direction to ensure the proper classification of violations of standards. [18(e) Evaluation Report, pp.10-12]
Advance Notice: State plans must include a prohibition on advance notice of inspections, and exceptions must be no broader than those allowed by Federal OSHA procedure. See § 1902.3(f). Nevada has adopted approved procedures for advance notice similar to the Federal procedures. During the evaluation period, Nevada did not grant any advance notice of inspections.
Employee Participation: State plans must provide for inspections in response to employee complaints, and must provide an opportunity for employee participation in State inspections. See § 1902.4(c)(i) through (iii). Nevada has procedures similar to Federal OSHA for processing and responding to complaints. The data indicate that during the evaluation period the State was timely in responding to employee complaints, responding to 92% of serious safety and health complaints within the prescribed time frame of 30 days. During the period from October 1997 through March 1999, 25% of State inspections were in response to employee complaints. In 89.8% of cases during the period, complainants were informed of inspection results within 20 working days of citation issuance or, where no citations were issued, within 30 working days of the closing conference. The State also responds to non-formal complaints by letter and utilizes a phone/fax system to expedite response to non-serious complaints. [18(e) Evaluation Report, p. 10] The State also has procedures similar to those of Federal OSHA which require that an opportunity be provided for employee participation be provided, either through representation on the walkaround or the conduct of interviews with a reasonable number of employees. No problems have been noted concerning employee participation in Nevada inspections.
Nondiscrimination. State plans must also provide protection for employees against discrimination similar to that found in section 11(c) of the Federal Act. See § 1902.4(c)(2)(v). Section 618.445 of the Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Act provides for discrimination protection equivalent to that provided by Federal OSHA. A total of 136 investigations of complaints alleging discrimination were completed during the evaluation period, of which 14 were found to be meritorious. The State takes appropriate action in the courts on merit cases where the employer does not voluntarily comply with the State's proposed remedy. During the evaluation period, Nevada experienced difficulty in meeting the 90-day time limit for completion of discrimination investigations. The State is taking action to ensure timely processing of complaints by training additional discrimination investigators, and one of its strategic goals is the completion of 75% of discrimination cases within 90 days. [18(e) Evaluation Report, p. 15]
Citations and Proposed Penalties. The State is required to issue, in a timely manner, citations, proposed penalties, and notices of failure to abate. See §§ 1902.37(b)(11), 1902.3(d), and 1902.4(c)(2) (x) and (xi). The State's lapse time from last day of inspection to issuance of citation averaged 40 days for safety and 53 days for health. Both of the lapse times are comparable to Federal OSHA's time lapse. [18 (e) Evaluation Report, p. 12/]
The State must propose penalties in manner that is at least as effective as the penalties under the Federal program, which includes first instance violation penalties and consideration of factors comparable to those required in the Federal program in calculating penalties. See §§ 1902.37(b)(12), 1902.3(d), and 1902.4(c) (x) and (xi). Nevada's procedures for penalty calculation are similar to the Federal procedures. During the evaluation period, Nevada proposed higher penalties for serious violations than Federal OSHA. The average penalty for serious safety violations was $1844 and the average serious health penalty was $1336. [18(e) Evaluation Report, p. 12]
Abatement. The State must ensure abatement of hazards cited including issuance of notices of failure to abate and appropriate penalties. See §§ 1902.37(b)(13), 1902.3(d), and 1902.4(c)(vii) and (xi). Eighty-eight percent (88%) of serious safety violations had abatement periods of less than 30 days and 97% of serious health violations had abatement periods of less than 60 days. This compares favorably to Federal performance. The Notice of Violation policy has been successful in assuring prompt abatement of other-than-serious violations without litigation. [18(e) Evaluation Report, p. 12]
Whenever appropriate, the State must seek administrative and judicial review of adverse adjudications. Additionally, the State must take necessary and appropriate action to correct any deficiencies in its program which may be caused by an adverse administrative or judicial determination. See §§ 1902.37(b)(14) and 1902.3 (d) and (g). Nevada has taken action when appropriate to appeal adverse decisions. The Nevada section 18(e) Evaluation Report noted that a case involving egregious citations was appealed to the Nevada Supreme Court by the State. The case was settled before hearing. [18(e) Evaluation Report, p. 7]
(c) Staffing and Resources. The State is required to have a sufficient number of adequately trained and competent personnel to discharge its responsibilities under the plan. See section 18(c)(4) of the Act; 29 CFR 1902.37(b)(1), 1902.3(d) and 1902.3(h). A State must also direct adequate resources to administration and enforcement of the plan. See section 18(c)(5) of the Act and § 1902.3(I). As discussed above, the Nevada plan provides for 22 safety compliance officers and 9 industrial hygienists as set forth in the Nevada FY 1999 grant. This staffing level exceeds the approved, revised "fully effective" benchmarks for Nevada for health and safety staffing, as discussed elsewhere in this notice. At the close of the evaluation period the State had 20 safety and 9 health compliance officers positions filled. [18(e) Evaluation Report, p. 21] The State maintains offices in Carson City, Reno, Elko and Las Vegas.
Since 1991, the State has consistently provided State matching funds in excess of Federal funding. In Fiscal Year 1999, the State provided 76% of the total budget for its occupational safety and health program. State program funding in Fiscal Year 1999 is $4,917,275 total ($1,163,000 Federal, $3,754,275 State). [18(e) Evaluation Report, pp. 1, 22]
Nevada utilizes the OSHA Training Institute for most of its staff training. The State also conducts internal training through staff meetings regarding any new issues or standards. In addition, enforcement and consultation staffs conduct joint regional meetings to discuss standards and other issues to ensure that enforcement and consultation have the same understanding of the requirements of the standards.
(d) Other Requirements. Public Employees: States which have approved plans must maintain a safety and health program for State and local employees which must be as effective as the State's plan for the private sector. See § 1902.3(j). The Nevada plan provides a program in the public sector which is similar to that in the private sector, including inspections, citations and proposal of penalties for serious violations. During this evaluation period, the State conducted 4.4% of its total inspections in the public sector. The results of these inspections were comparable to those in the private sector. [18(e) Evaluation Report, pp. 14-15]
Injury/Illness Rates: As a factor of its section 18(e) determination, OSHA must consider whether the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual occupational safety and health survey and other available Federal and State measurements of program impact on worker safety and health indicate that trends in worker safety and health injury and illness rates under the State program compare favorably with those under the Federal program. See § 1902.37(b)(15). Nevada's lost workday case rate for private industry declined from 4.2 in 1994 to 3.3 in 1997. The lost workday case rate for construction decreased from 7.5 to 5.6, while there was substantial growth in the construction industry particularly in the southern part of the State. The rate for manufacturing increased slightly from 5.0 to 5.2. The rate for State and local government decreased from 3.6 to 3.4. [18(e) Evaluation Report, p. 18] Nevada also participates in the OSHA Data Initiative for gathering employer-specific injury and illness rates.
Required Reports: State plans must assure that employers in the State submit reports to the Secretary in the same manner as if the plan were not in effect. See section 18(c)(7) of the Act; 29 CFR 1902.3(k). The plan must also provide assurance that the designated agency will make such reports to the Secretary in such form and containing such information as he may from time to time require. Section 18(c)(8) of the Act; 29 CFR 1902.4(1). Nevada employer recordkeeping requirements are identical to those of Federal OSHA, and the State participates in the BLS Annual Survey of Occupational Illness and Injuries and the OSHA Data Initiative. As noted above, the State participates and has assured its continuing participation with OSHA in the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) as a means of providing reports on its activities to OSHA and submits other information and reports as required.
Voluntary Compliance: Section 1902.4(c)(2)(xiii) requires States to undertake programs to encourage voluntary compliance by employers by such means as conducting training and consultation with employers and employees. The Nevada consultation program, which until July 1, 1999 operated its private sector component under the State plan rather than OSHA's section 21(d) consultation program, includes 14 consultants and 4 trainers. The State provides consultation services to both the private and public sectors. During the evaluation period, Nevada conducted 1781 consultation visits, primarily in smaller high hazard private sector establishments. From Fiscal Year 1996 through Fiscal Year 1999, the State conducted 739 safety and health classes, reaching a total of 6,737 employers and 8,551 employees. Training covered such issues as developing safety and health programs, lockout/tagout, fall protection, hazard communication and bloodborne pathogens. In addition, the Safety Consultation and Training Section has carried out substantial promotion and outreach efforts through a multi-media campaign, including television and newspaper public service announcements, funded by the State.
Effect of Section 18(e) Determination
If the Assistant Secretary, after review of the written comments received and the results of any informal hearing if requested and held, determines that the statutory and regulatory criteria for State plans are being applied in actual operations, final approval will be granted and Federal standards and enforcement authority will cease to be in effect with respect to issues covered by the Nevada plan, as provided by Section 18(e) of the Act and 29 CFR 1902.42(c). Nevada has excluded private sector maritime employment and private employers on Indian land from its plan. In addition, the plan does not have jurisdiction over Federal agencies. Thus, Federal coverage of these areas would be unaffected by an affirmative section 18(e) determination. Federal OSHA will also retain authority for coverage of the United States Postal Service (USPS), including USPS employees, contract employees, and contractor-operated facilities engaged in USPS mail operations and all Federal employers in Nevada.
In the event an affirmative section 18(e) determination is made by the Assistant Secretary following the proceedings described in the present notice, a notice will be published in the Federal Register in accordance with 29 CFR 1902.43; the notice will specify the issues as to which Federal standards and enforcement authority is withdrawn and provide notice that Federal authority with respect to enforcement under section 5(a)(1) of the Act and discrimination complaints under section 11(c) of the Act remains in effect. The notice would state that if continuing evaluations show that the State has failed to maintain a compliance staff which meets the revised fully effective benchmarks, or has failed to maintain a program which is at least as effective as the Federal, or that the State has failed to submit program change supplements as required by 29 CFR Part 1953, the Assistant Secretary may revoke or suspend final approval and reinstate Federal enforcement authority or, if the circumstances warrant, initiate action to withdraw approval of the State plan. At the same time, Subpart W of 29 CFR Part 1952, which codifies OSHA decisions regarding approval of the Nevada plan, would be amended to reflect the section 18(e) determination if an affirmative determination is made.
Documents of Record
All information and data presently available to OSHA relating to the Nevada section 18(e) proceeding have been made a part of the record in this proceeding and placed in the OSHA Docket Office. The contents of the record are available for inspection and copying at the following locations: Docket Office, Room N-2625, Docket No. T-033, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20210; Office of the Regional Administrator, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 71 Stevenson Street, Suite 420, San Francisco, California 94105; and Nevada Division of Industrial Relations, 400 West King Street, Carson City, Nevada 89703. To date, the record on final approval determination includes copies of all Federal Register documents regarding the plan, including notices of plan submission, initial Federal approval, certification of completion of developmental steps, codification of the State's operational status agreement, and other plan supplements. The record also includes: the State plan document (as amended through June 29, 1999), which includes a plan narrative, the State legislation, regulations and procedures, and an organizational chart for State staffing; the State's FY 1999 Federal grant; and the July 1, 1995 through March 31, 1999 18(e) Evaluation Report and all previous, post- certification reports.
Public Participation
Request for Public Comment and Opportunity to Request Hearing
The Assistant Secretary is directed under § 1902.41 to make a decision whether an affirmative section 18(e) determination is warranted. As part of the Assistant Secretary's decision-making process, consideration must be given to the application and implementation by Nevada of the requirements of section 18(c) of the Act and all specified criteria and indices of effectiveness as presented in 29 CFR 1902.3 and 1902.4. These criteria and indices must be considered in light of the factors in 29 CFR 1902.37(b) (1) through (15). However, this action will be taken only after all the information contained in the record, including OSHA's evaluation of the actual operations of the State plan, and information presented in written submissions and during an informal public hearing, if held, is reviewed and analyzed. OSHA is soliciting public participation in this process so as to assure that all relevant information, views, data and arguments related to the indices, criteria and factors presented in 29 CFR Part 1902, as they apply to Nevada's State plan, are available to the Assistant Secretary during this administrative proceeding.
Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and comments with respect to this proposed section 18(e) determination. These comments must be received on or before December 16, 1999, and submitted in duplicate to the Docket Officer, Docket No. T-033, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N-2625, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210. Written submissions must clearly identify the issues which are addressed and the positions taken with respect to each issue. Comments limited to 10 pages or fewer may also be transmitted by FAX to: (202) 693-1648, provided that the original and one copy of the comment are sent to the Docket Office immediately thereafter. Electronic comments may be submitted on the Internet at: http://ecomments.osha.gov The State of Nevada will be afforded the opportunity to respond to each submission.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 1902.39(f), interested persons may request an informal hearing concerning the proposed section 18(e) determination. Such requests also must be received on or before December 16, 1999, and should be submitted in duplicate to the Docket Officer, Docket T-033, at the address noted above. Such requests must present particularized written objections to the proposed section 18(e) determination. The Assistant Secretary will decide within 30 days of the last day for filing written views or comments and requests for a hearing whether the objections raised are substantial and, if so, will publish notice of the time and place of the scheduled hearing.
The Assistant Secretary will, within a reasonable time after the close of the comment period or after the certification of the record if a hearing is held, publish his decisions in the Federal Register. All written and oral submissions, as well as other information gathered by OSHA, will be considered in any action taken. The record of this proceeding, including written comments and requests for hearing and all materials submitted in response to this notice and at any subsequent hearing, will be available for inspection and copying in the Docket Office, Room N-2625, at the previously mentioned address, between the hours of 8:15 a.m and 4:45 p.m.
Executive Order 13132, "Federalism," emphasizes consultation between Federal agencies and the States and establishes specific review procedures the Federal government must follow as it carries out policies which affect State or local governments. This Executive Order does not take effect until November 2, 1999, but will be in effect when OSHA renders its decision on final approval of the Nevada state plan. OSHA has included in the Background section of today's request for public comments a detailed explanation of the relationship between Federal OSHA and the State plan States under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Although it appears that the specific consultation procedures provided in section 6 of Ex.Ord. 13132 are not mandatory for final approval decisions under the OSH Act, which neither impose a burden upon the State nor involve preemption of any State law, OSHA has nonetheless consulted extensively with Nevada throughout the period of 18(e) evaluation. OSHA has reviewed the Nevada final approval decision proposed today, and believes it is consistent with the principles and criteria set forth in the Executive Order.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
OSHA certifies pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) that this determination will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Final approval would not place small employers in Nevada under any new or different requirements, nor would any additional burden be placed upon the State government beyond the responsibilities already assumed as part of the approved plan.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbor, coworker, longlost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger) but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
I love that song and of course you, forever, babe.

Observe: I'm not arguing that you should "hold forever" and never swap horses. Buffett himself committed a major blunder in 1998 when he failed to sell even a modest sliver of his Coca-Cola stake after the shares rocketed to a mind-blowing 54 times trailing earnings.
Instead, I advise you to trade methodically and deliberately. A couple of times a year, after market prices have risen substantially, you should review your holdings and pare investments that have reached the highest level you can justify for them, looking forward a year or more.
It doesn't matter whether the candidate for elimination has performed well or poorly. If it has reached what you believe to be a plateau for at least the coming year, get rid of it. There will be plenty of frisky ponies to take the old nag's slot.
How will you know you're doing the right amount of trading? In my studies of the great value-oriented money managers (not the 10-minute wonders of the hedge-fund world), I notice a pattern. The masters generally turn over 15% to 30% of their portfolios in a normal year.
In a long sideways market (such as we've had with the U.S. stock indices since 2000), a somewhat higher turnover rate might make sense. Even now, though, you probably shouldn't move more than 50% of your portfolio around within the space of a year unless you think a massive market dislocation on the scale of 2008 or 2002 is in the cards. Frankly, I don't expect any such event in the near future.
To keep your costs down, I recommend doing most of your investment business through discount brokers — TD Ameritrade (AMTD) is my all-around favorite — and no-load mutual funds.
Natural Leverage From Savings
There's a fourth tactic that works as well today as it did when I began investing almost four decades ago. Add regularly to your portfolio through systematic savings. Whether you're age 21 or 91, your goal should always be to keep your living expenses comfortably below your income, so that you've got a constant flow of fresh cash to invest.
Many investors try to compensate for a lack of personal savings by plowing their money into high-risk speculations (in hopes of parlaying a small stake into a fortune). Junior mining shares, technology startups and obscure Chinese companies all appeal to the gambler's instinct, as do IPOs and options buying.
Unfortunately, these artificial forms of leverage often backfire, with painful losses. You'll come out far better if you invest in conservative situations and harness what I call the "natural" leverage of your own savings.
Take the case of two investors, Sam and Sue. Both start with $10,000 and earn an 8% annual return on their money. The only difference is that Sam never adds to his portfolio, but Sue adds $2,000 at the end of each year.
After 10 years, Sam's account is worth $21,589. Not bad. However, Sue's account has zoomed to $50,562.
She has earned $20,562 on top of her invested principal, while Sam has earned only $11,589 on his. The rates of return are the same, but what really counts is that Sue now has much more cash to play with (because she put more in).
Natural leverage from savings is the main secret of my own financial success. I recommend it to you, along with the other three techniques I shared with you earlier, because they still work — beautifully — and probably will for the rest of your lifetime and mine.

Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life
Broadway Across America - Miami, in association with Moet & Chandon, presents the legendary Chita Rivera in The Dancer's Life at Miami's Carnival Center For The Performing Arts.
The Dancer's Life had its world premiere at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, California. Written by Terrence McNally, with musical concepts and arrangements by Mark Hummel, it also features some original songs by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. The show is a celebration of Miss Rivera's personal and professional life, and a tribute to the people with whom she has worked.
Chita Rivera has won two Tony Awards (Kiss Of The Spider Woman and The Rink), and received seven additional Tony nominations. She received her ninth Tony nomination for the Broadway production of Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life. In December of 2002 she received the coveted Kennedy center Honor in Washington, DC.
Miss Rivera made her first Broadway appearance at age 17 in the chorus of Call Me Madam. Her performance as Anita in West Side Story brought her to stardom. Her Broadway career is highlighted by appearances in Bye Bye Birdie, Jerry's Girls, Mr. Wonderful and Seventh Heaven. She created the role of Velma Kelly in the original Broadway production of Chicago, and played Nickie in the film version of Sweet Charity.
At 74 years old, Chita still dances with considerable youth. Songs like "A Boy Like That" provide the opportunity for her to show her singing voice while providing drama as well. The musical arrangement and choreography for her tango version of "More Than You Know" is particularly good. Her storytelling is entertaining and engaging, and her dancing still heartfelt after decades of performing. The evening's show at the Carnival Center was received with a standing ovation that showed appreciation for not just one evening's performance, but for the impressive body of work that is she has shared with so many audiences.
The Dancer's Life appeared from January 2, 2007 - January 7, 2007 at the Carnival Center For Performing Arts in Miami, FL. For information on the many diverse offerings of the Carnival center, you may contact them at 305-949-6072, or on line at www.carnivalcenter.org.

Shotgun houses are considered an African American form of vernacular architecture. They acquired this name because, supposedly, a shotgun blast fired through the front door would pass straight through the house and out the back. Biggers, instead, suggests that the name is a corruption of the word shogon, a Yoruba term from West Africa that means God's House.

Did they deserve it? No.
Do they care? Will it have lessened Victor Moses' victory dance?
What do you think?
Last night at Stamford Bridge, Roberto Di Matteo and Chelsea teetered on the brink, the biggest call of the Blues boss' career looking as if it might be a disaster.
Benching John Terry, the first major European match he has been left out of since the opening Champions League game of the Roman Abramovich era in Prague nine years ago, meant it had to go right.
For 93 and a half minutes, despite being gifted two goals by Shakhtar keeper Andriy Pyatov, it was going wrong, horribly wrong.
As Juan Mata prepared for what he knew was the final set-piece of a tumultuous evening, Chelsea were seconds away from having to win in Turin in a fortnight to keep alive their realistic hopes of reaching last 16 and avoid becoming the first holders not to make the knock-out stage.
They could have not complained either. For long periods, Chelsea were played off the park, not able to get close to the brilliant movement of Fernandinho and Willian, the two rarest beans in Donetsk's Brazilian blend, run ragged by the rapier pace of Darijo Srna.
The decision to leave out Terry, from a defence already lacking Ashley Cole, left them exposed and vulnerable, especially against a side that were even better last night than they were in the first game.
Di Matteo pointed to Terry's domestic ban but his last game was a fortnight ago in the Donbass Arena.
With Didier Drogba now gone, Frank Lampard missing, the absence of a third element of the Abramovich spell spine, leaving just Petr Cech, looked like a genuinely significant decision.
Terry, it seems, is no longer an "untouchable", now just another squad member.
Not that David Luiz, an accident waiting to happen all night, did much to bolster Di Matteo's call, especially with Ryan Bertrand being destroyed by Srna all night.
Even when Pyatov's comedy act gave Chelsea the lead twice, Shakhtar simply girded their loins and played, played and played again.
The goals were shockers, too, for the Ukraine goalkeeper.
Six minutes in, after showing thumble-fingers from a Luiz free-kick, he allowed Fernando Torres to close him down, stick out his right foot and block a clearance back into the Shakhtar net.
Not that Torres, a man in desperate need of a lucky break, was too bothered how the goal came.
Yet instead of being a springboard for the Blue, it was the launchpad for the Ukrainina champions.
Within three minutes, Shakhtar were level, Willian providing the finish after Fernandinho breezed past Ramires, Bertrand, Eden Hazard and Luiz.
For most of the rest of the first period - some bright moments from Oscar and Torres, far more penetrative, aside - it was all Shakhtar, the best move of the match ending with Alex Teixeira firing inches wide.
Yet, somehow, courtesy of another Pyatov howler, Chelsea went into the dressing room a goal to the good.
Juan Mata, who schemes with the devilish intricacy to match his piratical beard, slightly over-hit his ball for Torres.
Pyatov, needlessly, rushed outside his box, headed a panicked clearance straight to Oscar, and then trudged forlornly back as the Brazilian chested down and showed glorious technique to claim his fourth Champions League goal in as many games from 40 yards.
Relief, which lasted only 90 seconds beyond the restart as Shakhtar, deservedly, were back on terms.
Willian came in off the left and kept running as Fernandinho spread right where Srna was again too good for Bertrand.
The low cross found Willian steering back past the wrong-footed Cech and with Chelsea at sixes and sevens - some home fans bawling out Luiz and calling for Terry - only the upright denied Ratzan Rat from 25 yards.
Chelsea were staring humiliation in the face.
They knew it too, digging deep to finally force the Ukrainian champions - unbeaten, with 19 wins out of 20 this season, until last night - back into their own half, although there were still narrow escapes.
When Srna's clip on Ramires, after Hazard played him in, went unpunished, the anxiety levels rose yet further, the balls pinging through the Donetsk box without them being able to expose Pyatov's deficiencies.
Mata's corner was a Hail Mary as the Bridge muttered prayers for salvation.
Moses answered them, rising six yards out to claim his first European goal in the moment of greatest need, changing everything with what was Chelsea's final touch of the ball.
Now, a draw at Juventus, coupled with a win over Nordsjaelland, will take them through. Once again, the Champions League gods were with Di Matteo.

MOLLY SCHOEMANN: I would like to applaud Whole Foods CEO Steve Mackey for introducing a plan that offers his employees a larger store discount based on their overall physical health and fitness. No longer just a patronizing corporation with a moral-superiority complex, Whole Foods is showing that it cares enough about its employees to do what it can to lower its company healthcare costs.
All company employees currently enjoy an impressive 20% store discount, which serves to make Whole Foods products only approximately twice as expensive as the products carried in other supermarkets. However, beginning in January of 2010, employees who meet certain health criteria, including low blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI and no nicotine use, will be entitled to enjoy a further discount of up to 30%.
Upon learning this news, the blood-pressure of many Whole Foods employees temporarily rendered them ineligible for participation in the program.
Still, many agree that it's about time the obese are punished financially, and not just from health problems and discrimination from their peers and society in general. It's also fitting that those who are physically fit be monetarily rewarded for being so, as they enjoy few other privileges from being healthy and in shape.
The goal of the program is likely aesthetic as well as cost-conscious. After all, how inspired would you be to purchase a $7 box of organic Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal that has been laboriously stocked by an obese, heavy-breathing Team Member with a pack of Parliaments sticking out of his back pocket?
Mackey's letter to employees introducing the program, which was leaked to the media by an employee who was interested in sharing the news of their CEO's generosity with the rest of the world, states that "we believe this is a win-win program that will help both our Team members and our shareholders."
The next step on this road will likely be for Mackey to encourage healthy behavior in his shareholders by offering them increased stock options based on their smoking habits and weights. I'm sure that this program will be rolling out very shortly, and I plan to keep an eye out for that memo.
JILLIAN LOVEJOY LOWERY: That Whole Foods has decided to decrease their health care costs by rewarding their healthiest employees with greater discounts is problematic, to say the least. My initial thought, upon hearing that employees with low BMIs, no nicotine intake and low blood pressure and cholesterol will get heftier discounts than their counterparts, was "hello, discriminatory!"
Whole Foods CEO John Mackey seems to have forgotten that people come in all shapes and sizes, that things like blood pressure and cholesterol are sometimes hereditary, and that even smokers might like to purchase their avocados at a greater discount.
All Whole Foods employees enjoy a 20% discount, regardless of their perceived healthiness. For those who choose to opt into this new program, they will receive a free health screening and will be lumped into one of four categories: platinum (which receives a 30% discount), gold (which receives 27%), silver (25%) and bronze (22%).
Michael Sinatra, a spokesperson for Whole Foods was quoted as saying "It's a great discount and it's a great opportunity for free health screenings."
It's also a great way to alienate employees and customers who aren't a size 00.
Full of righteous indignation, I raised this topic with a friend of mine (who is on a weight loss plan of her own), expecting her to echo my opinions. I was shocked when she didn't. "You, dear," she said to me, "have thin person's guilt." She went on to say that, for some people, opting in to this plan could be a motivating factor, giving them the incentive they need in order to live a healthier lifestyle.
Maybe. But I'm still not convinced.
If Whole Foods was truly invested in making a difference in the lives of their workers, how about offering the discount to folks with gym memberships, or who are members of Weight Watchers, or who go the therapy, or schedule regular dental appointments? Shouldn't this be about effort as opposed to end result? Would that even matter?
Mackey, whose reputation for being something of a slippery character is seeming more and more deserved, should have thought twice before implementing this policy. Whole Foods is already perceived as sort of an elitist, yuppie mecca. And now it's one with a weight limit.

'My son was not gay. He wanted to be married and have a family,' the singer says of son Michael Blosil who jumped to his death in February, adding 'There were no drugs in his system.'
Conducting her first interview since the tragic death of her son Michael Blosil in February, Marie Osmond took the chance to clear out reports suggesting her son took his own life back then because he was struggling to deal with his sexuality. "My son was not gay. He wanted to be married and have a family and travel all over the world," Marie told Oprah Winfrey.
And though the reports are true, Marie wouldn't consider it as a problem. "It wouldn't matter if he was - I have a daughter who's gay. She was the most offended by (the rumors). (The claims imply that) everyone who's gay commits suicide," the singer explained during "The Oprah Winfrey Show" which aired on Thursday, November 11.
Beside debunking the gay rumors, Marie also set another report straight. "My son was clean when he jumped. There were no drugs in his system, but I believe the ramifications were there," she said, dismissing allegation that Michael had been in and out of drug rehab since he was 12 and had been under the influence when he committed suicide.
And surprisingly, Marie admitted that the February suicide wasn't Michael's first attempt to end his life. Michael tried the same thing when Marie was on "Dancing with the Stars" in 2007 but his son at that time promised her "he would never do anything like that again."
"I believed him," Marie added, believing that Michael finally jumped to his death from a window on the eighth floor because he was deeply confused. "Whatever his reality was, I do believe that there are moments when you slip into insanity and you no longer think rationally. I believe that's what happened," she explained.

Do you wear eyeshadow that matches your eye color?
Beautiful with brains says: yes! Green is my favourite eyeshadow color actually. It may not make my green eyes pop as much as complimentary colors do, but I like it and wear it anyway. 🙂
Your daily dose of smart beauty
Beautiful with brains says: yes! Green is my favourite eyeshadow color actually. It may not make my green eyes pop as much as complimentary colors do, but I like it and wear it anyway. 🙂
Jamilla says
I love that combination! Since my eyes are brown, I guess I have a lot of eyeshadows that match my eye colour, lol!
beautifulwithbrains says
Jamilla, thanks. I think brown really suits even those with brown eyes. 🙂
Jenn says
Thats a gorgeous look Gio! I super love it! 😀
I have brown eyes. Come to think of it, I don't own a brown in the exact shade of my color, but i would absolutely wear one if i do own it! Hehehe! 😀
beautifulwithbrains says
Jenn, thanks.I'm glad you like it.
There really isn't any reason not to wear an eyeshadow color that matches that of your eyes if you like it, is there?
[email protected] says
Green looks lovely on you!! You did a good job blending those colors too 🙂
beautifulwithbrains says
Harshleen, aww thank you! 🙂
La Bisbetica says
Yes, but since my eyes are almost black I guess complementary colors theory doesn't work for me! 😀
beautifulwithbrains says
La Bisbetica, I think dark shades look very pretty on black eyes. 🙂
Aya says
I have brown eyes so I think I can pretty much wear any color but I still find myself wearing browns most of the time. Hihi
beautifulwithbrains says
Aya, I think browns look very pretty on brown eyes, as do most colors. 🙂
Trisha says
Not very often. First, I have color changing eyes. Sometimes they're green. Sometimes blue. Sometimes gray. So it's hard to keep track. And if I do use those colors, I do because…well…just because. I rarely think about the fact that they match my eyes.
Although…I do complement my eye color sometimes. I'll choose plums because they go good with green. I guess.
beautifulwithbrains says
Trisha, you have beautiful eyes and I think it's really cool that they change color. I think we should just wear what we feel like wearing. It's nice to war complimentary colors to enhance them, but it is also nice to wear a matching shade if we feel like it. 🙂
Trisha says
I totally agree! 🙂
beautifulwithbrains says
i have brown eyes, brown skin…i'll be damned if i wear brown makeup too! no sir, give me COLORS
beautifulwithbrains says
Vonnie, lol. Colorful eyeshadows are so much fun to wear and they look great on you!
Jess says
Oh, what a colorful eye makeup! Very fresh and young!
Gio, you finally do fotds too! 🙂
beautifulwithbrains says
Jess, thank you! I'm glad you like it. 🙂
Ashley says
No, but you look AWESOME!
beautifulwithbrains says
Ashley, thank you!
Vonvon says
I LOVE the colours you used for the EOTD!
As to your question, I don't. I wear what I feel like and what I think looks pretty.
beautifulwithbrains says
Vonvon, thanks!
And I agree. We should use what we feel like wearing instead than following some silly makeup rule lol.
Jess says
Wow this combination is really pretty!! I love green too although my eyes r not green ..
beautifulwithbrains says
Jess, thanks. Green is really a beautiful color.
Jeni says
In high school I did because brown was almost the only color eyeshadow that was sold! I sometimes wear shimmery browns now (that match my eyes), but brown is usually my last choice – I love color, and shimmer!
beautifulwithbrains says
Jeni, oh yes, I remember the choice of colors was very limited when I was in high school too. I'm glad that's changed and eyeshadows are easily available in every shade at all price points these days.
Viv says
No, not all the time! My eyes are cool grey/blue unfortunately (how come four of my five children have the same gorgeous green eyes as you? – the youngest one has my eye-colour, poor thing). The problem with matching my shadow to my eyes is that the rest of me is totally warm colour – red hair, freckles, very fair skin – so warm colours are definitely my colour of choice. Perhaps that does explain why I do sometimes like grey shades though!
beautifulwithbrains says
Viv, I'm sure you have beautiful eyes! I can see why you prefer to wear warm shades, although it's nice to wear a matching color too every now and then.
Annabella Freeman says
My eyes are green and I prefer to wear green eyeshadow or purples as they are complimentary. I put blue eyeliner for the first time in years the other day and it actually didn't look that bad!
beautifulwithbrains says
Annabella, I love purples too. They look great on green eyes. And yay for wearing blue eyeliner. Blues are hard to pull off but I think that's an easier, but fun way to wear them.
You look so cute and calm in this picture!! 🙂
Of course I wear brown eyeshadows with my brown eyes and I really like the look 🙂 x
beautifulwithbrains says
Stavroula, thank you! And brown eyeshadow goes really well with brown eyes.. 🙂
