Dealing with $41 billion Pa. pension gap may mean changes for current state workers
A new report detailing the causes and possible remedies for Pennsylvania's $41 billion unfunded pension liability is something like an opening salvo in upcoming talks between the governor's office and stakeholders.
If the head of the commonwealth's largest public sector union is any indicator, the lines in the sand for this negotiation have already been drawn.
The report released Tuesday by Gov. Tom Corbett's budget office suggests possible reforms to the state's pension systems could include switching future public employees from their current retirement plan to a 401(k)-style plan that locks in their contribution instead of their resulting benefit.
That option hasn't worked in other states, according to David Fillman, director of AFSCME Council 13 union.
"That actually makes the problem worse because now employees are not contributing to the giant pool that is needed for funding, they have their individual accounts," Fillman said.
The report also suggests reducing the not-yet-earned benefits of current employees.
Jay Pagni, a budget office spokesman, says the $41 billion hole means the state can't rule out changing the benefits of current employees.
"We do have the opportunity to at least look at the current employees -- and not touch anything that has been obviously accrued to this point -- but look at how changes to this system can benefit an employee in the future but benefit the commonwealth in the long run," Pagni said.
Pension reforms passed in 2010 changed only the benefits of employees hired in 2011 and thereafter.
Fillman says the state won't be able to revise current workers' future benefits without breaching their contract.
He says if the state is ready to begin negotiations, he wants to see some commitment to raise revenues to solve the pension fund dilemma.

If you've watched television programs on the Food Network for any length of time, you know that "healthy" is not high on the list of words to describe most of the recipes featured. In fact, copious portions of butter are common, along with fatty pieces of meat and other high-calorie components. Why? Because they make food taste better. A friend of my husband used to say in regard to losing weight, "If it tastes good, just spit it out!" Still, there's a market for fatter pork, and one Iowa producer is capitalizing on the niche.
"I want a pig that is longer, grows faster, has more fat and really dark meat," said Carl Edgar Blake II in an AgriNews article. He continued, "I am not interested in 'white meat' pigs. I'll take genetics from the Meishan, Russian Wild Boar, Large Black and add the growth rate from Hampshire-Duroc cross to create a 'hogzilla.' It will have the features chefs are wanting."
Blake, who owns Rustic Rooster Farms in Frederika, Iowa, is not your "typical" pork producer. He chooses to look like a country bumpkin in his interviews: blue jean coveralls with only one hook clasped and a t-shirt bearing the name of a familiar farm implement company. He's large, both in height and width, sporting a bushy beard and hair pulled back into a ponytail.
In other words, he's about as unorthodox as the pigs he raises. An article about Blake in the New York Times says the pigs are "floppy-eared with black fur, broad jowls, a thick rump, creased foreheads, and long bodies and snouts. When butchered, they have a broad slab of ivory fat to go with deep red meat, the antithesis of the "other white meat" craze when the pork industry moved toward leaner hogs."
Blake has developed a pig he calls the Iowa Swabian Hall, bred from Chinese Meishan females and descendants of Russian wild boars. According to Blake, King Wilhelm I of Germany was the originator of this new breed in the early 1820s. While the industry has chosen genetics to produce a leaner pig to meet consumer demand, Blake is headed in the other direction. In fact, he's quite vocal about his disdain for the modern U.S. pig. And while some chefs think the meat is high quality, others feel it's too fatty.
Most recently, Blake appeared on The Colbert Report, again with his standard partially-clasped coveralls blanketing his massive frame. He brought out two baby pigs to show Stephen Colbert, as well as samples of his pork. While Colbert gently holds one of the pigs, he tries a sample of the pork, lovingly looks down at the baby pig and says, "You are delicious." Priceless!
Personally, I'm disappointed Blake leads the general public to believe that pork producers don't know how to dress or present themselves in a professional manner. That's certainly not the reality. Regarding his pork products, I'll withhold judgment before I try them, but there's likely a happy medium between "too fat" and "too lean," and we ought to be doing more research to determine exactly what consumers want based on taste preferences, then make sure we're producing pigs that meet their highest expectations.

Louis Smith says a feeling of "unfinished business" has convinced him to reverse his earlier retirement plans and seek to sign off with another major gymnastics medal at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The triple Olympic medallist has not competed since winning individual silver and team bronze at London 2012 and admitted he had resigned himself to the fact that his days in the sport were done.
Smith said: "As far as I am concerned, should I qualify, this will be my last hurrah.
"The 2012 Olympics were everything to me and I believe that without the successes that I had there, my life could have taken a very different path over the last year and a half. So I can go to the Commonwealth Games knowing that whatever happens, I will have achieved everything I ever dreamt of in gymnastics.
"But I am an athlete and as has always been the case, I will be there in the pursuit of success. I'm not done with gymnastics yet. I have unfinished business. Should I qualify, the opportunity to compete on home turf again is one that I will relish".
Smith is one of the most successful British gymnasts of all time having also won a Commonwealth Games gold medal in Melbourne in 2006 and his first Olympic medal in Beijing two years later.
However the 24-year-old has acknowledged he faces a battle to make it back into the England team with a number of his former domestic rivals having excelled in his absence.
Max Whitlock took a silver medal in Smith's favoured pommel horse discipline at last year's World Championships in Antwerp, with Kristian Thomas winning bronze in the vault.
Smith went to Antwerp in his role as a co-commentator and also competed - and won - in the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing television series during his time away from the sport.
Smith added: "Qualifying for Team England will be no easy feat. People may assume that my achievements to date will mean a place in the team however that couldn't be further from the case.
"The strength in depth in this country is at a level that it's never been before with a large number of hugely talented gymnasts all competing for places. I will have to earn my place on the team which is not going to be easy and even if I achieve the necessary standards, it will still come down to the selectors".
"If I don't make the team, then I can be proud that I have been a part of the success that has driven on these young gymnasts to reach higher standards and take the sport forward and I'll look forward to following and supporting them all at the Games.
"In any case, I look forward to getting back in the gym and keeping my gymnastic fitness at a level that I have become used to over the years."

Chromium is an essential mineral that plays a role in how insulin helps the body regulate blood sugar levels. Insulin is a hormone that your body uses to change sugar, starches, and other food into energy needed for daily life.
There is some evidence that chromium supplements may help people with diabetes lower blood sugar levels. People with diabetes either do not make enough insulin or cannot properly use the insulin that their bodies make. As a result, glucose or sugar builds up in the bloodstream.
As many as 90% of American diets are low in chromium, but it's rare to be truly deficient in chromium. The elderly, people who do a lot of strenuous exercise, those who eat a lot of sugary foods, and pregnant women are most likely to be deficient in chromium. Low chromium levels can increase blood sugar, triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood), cholesterol levels, and increase the risk for a number of conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Good chromium food sources include whole grain breads and cereals, lean meats, cheeses, and some spices, such as black pepper and thyme. Brewer's yeast is also rich in chromium.
Clinical studies suggest that chromium supplements may be helpful for the following conditions:
Researchers have studied the effects of chromium supplements for type 2 diabetes for many years. While some clinical studies have found no benefit, other clinical studies have reported that chromium supplements may reduce blood sugar levels as well as the amount of insulin people with diabetes need.
In one double-blind, placebo-controlled study, people with type 2 diabetes who took chromium picolinate had better HbA1c values -- used to measure long-term control of blood sugar levels -- than those who took placebo. The group taking chromium also had better fasting blood glucose levels, a measure of short-term control of blood sugar levels.
Another double-blind, placebo-controlled study looked at a combination of chromium and biotin. Half the people in the study took chromium picolinate and biotin, and the other half took placebo. Those who took chromium and biotin had better fasting glucose levels as well as HbA1c values.
One study found that women who have diabetes as a result of being pregnant improved their blood sugar control when they took chromium.
But not all studies agree, and if chromium does help reduce blood glucose, it's not clear how big the benefit might be. More research is needed.
Weight loss and obesity
Chromium is often advertised as a weight-loss aid and a way to improve lean muscle and reduce body fat. Studies have been mixed, with some finding that chromium may help people lose weight and build muscle, and others finding that it had no effect. If chromium does work for weight loss, it seems that the effects are small compared to those of exercise and a well-balanced diet.
Strength training
Chromium is popular with some body builders and can be found in some sports nutrition supplements. But there is not much evidence that chromium helps people gain strength or build muscle mass. Most studies have been negative.
Heart health
Animal studies suggest that chromium may help lower blood pressure. But so far it has not been tested in people, so researchers don't know if it would work.
Clinical studies about whether chromium can lower cholesterol have been mixed. Some suggest that chromium may lower LDL or bad cholesterol, including one study that combined chromium with grape seed extract. In another study, people who were taking beta-blockers found that taking chromium raised their HDL or good cholesterol levels.
Other Uses
One small study found that chromium picolinate improved symptoms of depression in people with atypical depression. But a larger study found that chromium didn't help. More research is needed.
Food sources of chromium include brewer's yeast, lean meats (especially processed meats), cheeses, pork kidney, whole-grain breads and cereals, molasses, spices, and some bran cereals.
Brewer's yeast, particularly yeast grown in chromium-rich soil, is a rich dietary source of chromium, as are organ meats, mushroom, oatmeal, prunes, nuts, asparagus, and whole grains and cereals. Vegetables, fruits, and most refined and processed foods, except for processed meats, have low amounts of chromium.
Chromium is commercially available in several forms, including chromium nicotinate, chromium histidinate, chromium picolinate, chromium-enriched yeast, chromium chloride, and glucose tolerance factor chromium (GTF). Chromium is available as part of many multivitamins or alone in tablet and capsule forms.
Amounts of chromium are based on the Dietary Reference Intakes from the Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine.
Researchers don't know what the safe and tolerable upper limits are for chromium. The recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) of chromium are as follows:
Chromium supplements: Most studies have used 200 mcg chromium, 1 - 3 times a day. Some studies of people with diabetes have used much higher doses, but scientists don't know whether those amounts are safe to use long term. If you have diabetes, talk to your doctor to see if chromium is right for you, and to determine the best dose. Don't give chromium supplements to a child.
Because of the potential for side effects and interactions with medications, you should take dietary supplements only under the supervision of a knowledgeable health care provider.
Chromium from foods is generally considered safe. As a supplement, very high doses of this mineral can reduce how effective insulin is at controlling blood sugar and cause stomach irritation, itching, and flushing. There have also been rare reports of fast, irregular heart rhythms and liver problems from too much chromium. Two cases of kidney damage have been reported from the use of chromium picolinate supplements.
There are some reports that chromium may make depression and anxiety or schizophrenia worse, although other reports suggest it helps depression. Ask your health care provider before taking chromium if you have either of these conditions.
People with chromate or leather contact allergies may be allergic to chromium.
People with liver or kidney problems, or people with anemia, should not take chromium without first talking to their health care providers.
The chromium you get from foods is not the same as the industrial form of chromium that is absorbed by the lungs, digestive tract, mucous membranes, and skin. Industrial chromium is a toxic material. People are usually exposed to it either when it gets on their skin or when they breathe in the dust.
If you are being treated with any of the following medications, you should not use chromium without first talking to your health care provider:
Antacids -- Animal studies suggest that antacids, particularly those containing calcium carbonate (including Tums and Mylanta), may reduce the amount of chromium your body absorbs. Other antacids that may interfere with chromium absorption include esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), and omeprazole (Prilosec). Avoid taking chromium supplements at the same time as antacids.
Diabetes medications -- Because chromium may lower blood sugar levels, it may make these medications stronger, raising the risk of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. If you take diabetes medications, including insulin, metformin (Glucophage), glyburide (Diabeta), glipizide (Glucotrol), or chlorpropamide (Diabenese), talk to your health care provider before taking chromium. Your medication doses may need to be adjusted.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) -- These medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve), are used to relieve pain. Taking NSAIDs may raise chromium levels in the body.
Corticosteroids (prednisone) -- Taking steroids to reduce inflammation may lower chromium levels in the body.
Levothyroxine (Synthroid) -- Theoretically, chromium may decrease how much Synthroid the body absorbs.

Ahoy, me hearties! This recipe is inspired by the pirates who roamed the Outer Banks of North Carolina and buried their treasure in chests.
This burger is my take on the French stew, Cassoulet, a dish traditionally loaded
with various meats, white beans and crispy bread crumbs.
This burger was created when I was invited to a burger-off barbeque.
I feel that their is a vast misunderstaning about dates. They are the small jewels that make this burger so special. It will not question you and every second will be enjoyable
Don't let the name and ingredients of this burger inhibit you from experiencing this delicious burger. People spend huge amounts of money on material objects and non essential items.

In sammaa samaadhi, the 4 jhaanas each use the expression upasampajja. CPED has
upasampajja: "having attained; having entered on"
(for each of the 4 jhanas it repeats that phrase)
Looking at Aanandajoti's translation, he translates the same as CPED, "having attained" the first absorption, etc.
Thanissaro, translations that phrase as
"he enters & remains " in the second jhana:
So as a translator, how much license do they generally have to change the grammatical tense?
I'm also curious how you get "enter and remains" from upasampajja. Looking up sampajja, it's defined as "succeeds".

Muskingum marks 175th anniversary with 21st century technology
and a special exhibition
Muskingum's 175th anniversary is being commemorated using some high-tech
Historic Walking Tour of Muskingum is the university's first-ever
e-book, which allows a virtual walking tour of the campus on any computer,
Kindle, smart phone or tablet. To read sample pages and get details on how to
download the book from Amazon, click here.
Also on the web is MuskieArchivesOnline, which contains images from
Muskingum's rich history. Thanks to a design by Caleb Eno '12, a digital media
design major, the picture viewer allows for zooming in for a closer look. Also
assisting Caleb was Clint McElfresh '12. To see the archives, click here.
On campus, Philip and Betsy Caldwell Hall features a museum-quality display
of artifacts from many generations of Muskies, as well as numerous informational
panels. The exhibit was created by Professor Dr. William Kerrigan, alumna Erin
Stevic '02, and current students Evan Daniel '12, Katie Day '12, Brock Hutichson
'12, and Muriel Smith '14.
"They have paid tribute to Muskingum's history with dignity, cleverness, and
wisdom," said President Anne C. Steele.

Sarah Jessica Parker's Red Carpet Retrospective
"I love the over-the-knee boot trend. The problem: I don't know how to wear it without looking like a hooker! I'm in my mid-30s — short shorts and miniskirts are just too daring for me, but that's what they're styled with most often. Any alternatives?"
Over-the-knee boots present a styling challenge. We're used to seeing them with minis and shorts, but I find they can look great with asymmetrical shapes because you have the compromise of a longer/shorter effect. They can also work with longer hemlines, providing the skirt has a slit that reveals the boots' higher length when you walk or sit. Otherwise, why bother? I also find that a flat boot presents more options because it can function very much like a legging. In fact, that should be your guide: Whenever you would opt for leggings, ask yourself whether you could substitute over-the-knee boots. I'm quite certain that your answer will be yes!
"My question is regarding the proper way to care for cashmere sweaters. I've heard that it is better to wash them in cold water with a gentle cleanser such as Woolite and allow them to air-dry. But is dry cleaning better?"
Many cashmere sweaters have a tag reading "dry clean only." I have found that this is not the case. Hand washing cashmere not only prolongs its life in your wardrobe, it also makes it softer. Wash using baby shampoo, Woolite, or Tide Total Care and rinse thoroughly. Now here's the key: Use a salad spinner — yes! — to remove as much of the water as possible. Otherwise, the sweater can take days to dry because you should not squeeze or twist it. Once spun, lay the sweater flat on a towel to fully dry. Finally, never place sweaters of any kind on hangers because they will stretch. Instead, fold them in thirds lengthwise.

The State's election board ruled unanimously (4-0) today that Rod Acchiardo is not in violation of any election laws regarding residency. So now we're set for a race between him and Collins for the prosecutor job in November! Finally Perry County gets a choice. If anyone would like more information about Acchiardo, he does have a website: http://www.acchiardo.com :) Now that he's cleared to run, maybe now we can all focus on the issues at hand.
Is this still a "hot topic!" Is this item going to appear in the paper perpetually?
His clients can't even get him to return a phone call or answer a question. Is that what we want in a prosecutor? Find somebody who has hired him and see what they say before you vote for him.
I've heard this complaint many times from his clients.
I'd also ask everyone to notice all the Acchiardo signs around Tell City. The Ramsey Cartel has put up signs on every property they own.
I ask again, are the people of Perry County willing to give more power to a group that already has so much? What agenda do they have for this office?
Yes, judges do rule on sentencing. Police make arrests and do investigations. They turn the evidence over to the prosecutor, who decides what charges stick and then puts on a prosecution. The judge then rules based on the law as it relates to the crimes for which the defendant was charged and convicted. If a prosecutor, attorney and client come into a plea agreement, a judge rules on whether the plea agreement is legal. Every area of the judicial system works together. I have knowledge of the system, you chose to oversimplify my argument to fit your concept that Republicans are now being soft on crime.
I have known Mr. Collins as Perry County Prosecutor for many years and one thing I know for a fact is that he doesn't let friends of friends off 'scott free'. He treats everyone equally and will get a special prosecutor when warranted. In fact, some of his friends have been disgrunted because he hasn't given them 'special treatment'. How about we stick to the truth and not make up stuff to win political points?
Sarah, I do believe you are wrong! I guess some of these cases need to be discussed publicly so EVERYONE will have a chance at finding out the TRUTH. I know of 4 cases that mysteriously "VANISHED" into thin air because of of certain "affiliations" with the prosecuter. 2 of the cases should have cost him his job a LONG time ago. I have been told that certain people in his office are closely being "monitored" for a lack of better words,during his campaign and are told to stay quiet. I would hate to be scared to go to my job.
Pay attention to the fine print of the Acchiardo campaign. He's campaigning on letting more people go, not less. I've met Acchiardo as well. I can't say I agree with his proposals or his choices so far. His promises of selective prosecution concern me greatly.
Acchiardo's residency problem is just the first of many personal hurdles he will have to overcome to be elected. Many questions remain about his personal history and why he chose to run for this office. My greatest concern is what seems to be the central theme of the Acchiardo campaign; that Collins has convicted too many people.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the job of the Prosecuting Attorney to prosecute people? Acchiardo seems to believe that if you convict too many criminals, you should be thrown out of office. This is troubling on many levels. The most troubling to me personally is the fact that it is much easier to be soft on criminals, and let them roam freely through the community, when you don't live in that community. Acchiardo may have become technically compliant with the residency laws, but this still doesn't mean he is invested in our community.
I think it is highly likely that his interest in this office is more about increasing the power held by his family, who already hold a significant amount of power, rather than prosecuting those who violate our laws. The question I present to the voters of Perry County is "Are you comfortable with consolidating so much power in the hands of so few?"
One more question for Mr. Callender . . . you first say that, and I'll quote: "Acchiardo may have become technically compliant with the residency laws, but this still doesn't mean he is invested in our community." But you then go on to argue that it's "highly likely that his interest in this office is more about increasing the power held by his family, who already hold a significant amount of power ..."
So which is it, sir? I'm not wanting to split hairs, but it seems you're trying to say two different, conflicting things. If Rod isn't invested in this community, how can you bring his family into things to argue he's got too MUCH power? If he already had all this power in the community, he'd already be fairly seriously invested in the community. Regardless, having had more than eight years practicing law in Perry County, representing thousands of people in the area, it's hard to argue he's not invested in this community.
It's not that Acchiardo thinks merely that Collins has convicted too many people. It's that he feels there's been little discretion used when handling the cases of first-time offenders. Too many Perry County citizens are being charged with felonies without properly considering diversion opportunities / drug court, etc. that could help a first-time offender become a last-time offender. If you convict someone of a felony for, say, stealing thirty dollars of merchandise at Wal-Mart when they've never committed a crime before, that person can never work at places like Waupaca or even a fast-food place like Wendy's, because they cannot pass a background check. If a person goes through a diversion program, or in the case of drug abuse, the drug court, and then they commit another crime, they should be punished to the full extent of our felony laws, but shouldn't we use all the resources at our disposal before we label someone a felon?
If Acchiardo and his followers don't like the way the laws are written, then maybe he should be running for state legislature. A prosecutor's job is to prosecute those who are accused of breaking the law. What you are saying in your argument is that even if someone breaks the law, maybe we shouldn't prosecute them, just ask them not to do it again? That's a little bizarre don't you think, asking for votes with a campaign promise of not doing the job?
What happens when a meth manufacturer comes before Acchiardo the Prosecutor? Is Acchiardo going to say "Well, as long as you promise not to do it again, you can go home"? That's the logic you're using.
Your argument further reinforces my hypothesis that Mr. Acchiardo's interest in the Prosecuting Attorney's Office is more about acquisition of power than protecting the community. With promises of selective prosecution, it is worse than I originally thought.
It's a matter of discretion. If you have a first-time offender and there's the option for a misdemeanor charge to stick, that could involve jail time and rehabilitation without labeling a person as a felon for life. It's not always a matter of "either the person's given the maximum sentence or there's no sentence at all." A person could serve jail time for a misdemeanor and still be employable when they get out. Unless you're wanting all prisoners to go to jail for life, eventually they get out. I, for one, would prefer that the ones who do can still work for a living and become productive members of society after they've been through the system.
Judges hand down sentences, prosecutors do not. Not to be a horse's rear, but a little knowledge of the justice system might come in handy.
I never thought I'd hear a Republican say we should be soft on crime. That party has really taken a turn toward the bizarre.
A farce is a farce is a farce. Acchairdo still lives in his $400,000 house in Newburgh, not at 306 Ridgeview Drive, Tell City. I invite anyone to check it out. Perry Countians aren't that dumb!

A decision on the future of Maldon and Burnham's children's centres is due to be made next week.
Essex County Council plans to cut opening hours at the Dengie Children's Centre, based at Burnham's Ormiston Rivers Academy, from 41 a week to ten.
Yellow Brick Road Children's Centre, at Great Totham Primary School, could have its hours chopped from 40 to five.
Maldon Children's Centre, at the town's library, will have its hours raised from 38 to 40 plus a telephone service for ten hours.
The council needs to save £2.5million from its children's centre budget between now and 2016.
Cabinet members are to discuss the plans on Tuesday.

It's always been doubtful that the White House and Congressional Republicans would reach a quick agreement to head off the end-of-the-year "fiscal cliff" — and as of Friday it looks even less likely. …
Among the reasons:
— There's no real incentive for the parties to reach an agreement now. Markets may want an early settlement, but, as mentioned, the fiscal doesn't start until Jan. 1 — more than four weeks way, a near-eternity in politics. Even after New Year's Day, elements of the fiscal cliff phase in gradually, and a new Congress could always pass legislation retroactive to the start of the year.
— Negotiators will try to add things to the basic debt reduction agreement. Democrats and Republicans have signaled they want additional issues addressed as part of a fiscal cliff agreement; they will take the time to push these issues, and hope the pressure of the deadline will force the other party to agree.


text: The first presenter at last Thursday's Dorkbot Austin was a gentleman named Mikal Hart, who described his "Reverse Geocaching Puzzle." Designed and built as a wedding gift for an old friend moving to France, the box incorporates an Arduino with a custom shield. A prominent button on the lid, when pressed, returns a distance, in kilometers, on the LCD display (if a GPS signal can be acquired), and counts button-presses up to 50 attempts. No directional information is provided, so the box must be moved about in order to triangulate the location it wants. Mikal also included a cunningly-disguised back door to allow it to be opened in the event of battery failures or bugs.
