SERVING THE PEOPLE OF HUNTLEY SINCE 1960 tKk Putitlep fnvm^iht USPS 580-360 THURSDAY JUILY 11, 1996 - VOLUME 36, NUMBER 14 - HUNTLEY, ILLINOIS TWENTY-HVE CENTS i^ntley 4-H'ers Earn Honors In State Judging Contest —¦ Huntley Girls Win in Softball Tournament McHenry County 4-H held the State Judging Contest on June 18 at the University of Illinois in Champaign.

Tim Hoefl of Huniley Harvestors received a red as a member in the Senior Livestock Judging Team. Huntley Chamber In Great Shape! By Kevin Daleidan The Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry held their regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, July 3, at the First Congregational Church. The attendance was lighter than usual, due to the July 4 holiday. The focus of the meeting was the chamber's executive committee report on the status of the chamber. Based upon a review of office procedures, chamber membership was assured that all monies were accounted for; in fact, the committee reports that an increase in the projected income for the remainder of 1996 will be seen as compared to reports given by former executive director Beard. Due in part to the attempt by the board of directors to place the chamber on a firm financial standing, the membership is being "pro-rated" on billing this year. "This will permit the board lo see annualized dues allotted to ihe appropriate funding year," announced Kevin Daleiden, president of the chamber. "Contrary lo other under¬ capitalized operations, we will not be spending 1997's income in 1996. Plus, thanks lo our treasurer's efforts, we will have shifted the burden of costs lo the appropriate spending year." The treasurer's report indicated that a cash-on-hand balance at the end of the year would be in the $10,00r range: The board feels confident that wilh this amount as a base, they can go forward with both planned programs and analysis of new offerings. While the prior board understood that from its very inception, the chamber's under-capitalized position was causing this "robbing Peter to pay Paul" as Treasurer John Frieburg calls il. It was not until the departure of executive director Cathy DeQuaker that the executive commitlee realized the extent of the chamber's position. "We got involved in 'hands-on' management while searching for a replacement, and once we did that wc knew we had to develop a plan to resolve the situation," Daleiden Continued on page 9 Village Board Agenda... o'JlB'e ^.re will be a regular meeting o'fllae board of trustees of the Village of Huntley on Thursday, July 11, at 7pm at the village annex building at 11221 Dundee Rd., Huntley.

TRAVERSE CITY -- A woman who pled guilty of embezzling more than $1 million from Munson Healthcare could spend nearly 4 years in prison.
Susan Morrison was sentenced today in federal court to 47 months behind bars. She must also pay back the $1.1 million dollars she took. As an accountant for Munson, Morrison transferred money to a bank account for her former business "The Great Lakes Bear Factory" between 2007 and April of this year.
Some of the money taken came from the hospital's foundation bank account, the account used for donor contributions.

Janice Yu joins the Pronews 7 team from Tucson, Arizona. She graduated from U of A in May 2013 with a BA in journalism and a minor psychology.
CLARENDON, TEXAS -- Clarendon College received a federal grant of $2.25 million for the registered nursing program.
They were one of 33 in the U.S. to receive the grants and also only one of two in Texas.
"(we are) very fortunate to have received... Not only such a grant but also able to have such a large grant," said Phil Shirley, president of Clarendon College.
The money will go towards classes and equipment. The new equipment, such as mannequins, will allow students to be more hands on in their learning.
Dean of Students, Tex Buckhaul, said the grant was targeted towards a specific purpose.
"Many of our students, over a third of them, live in poverty and nearly 72 percent are receiving financial aid. Through life commitments, and life commitments, they weren't doing well," Buckhaul said.
To help these students succeed, the grant will make supplemental instruction available on their time frame. They also will have seven online classes so students can work in their time frame.
The one year process came to an end in September. Classes start in January 2014.
"It is virtually the difference between night and day. It's the difference between success and lack of success," Shirley said.

From the February 6, 2009 The American
February 6, 2009
by Jaime Daremblum
While there is never a "good time" to start a trade war, the current moment is especially inconvenient. Yet Congress seems intent to push through an economic stimulus package containing nakedly protectionist measures that make a mockery of the U.S. commitment to free trade. The House-approved stimulus plan says that all public works projects funded by the legislation must use U.S.-made iron and steel. The Senate bill has its own "Buy American" plank, which is even broader than the House provision and would cover all manufactured goods used in stimulus-funded public works projects.
On Wednesday, the Senate voted to water down the "Buy American" clause by demanding that it be "applied in a manner consistent with U.S. obligations under international agreements." This was meant to assuage concerns raised by the Europeans and Canadians, not to mention those voiced by President Barack Obama, who on Tuesday told Fox News that "we can't send a protectionist message" and also told ABC News that "we need to make sure that any provisions that are in [the stimulus plan] are not going to trigger a trade war." Unfortunately, even in its revised form, the "Buy American" stipulation may still provoke retaliatory actions from U.S. trading partners. "I would bet everything I have on a trade war breaking out within WTO-consistent rules," Columbia economist Jagdish Bhagwati told a reporter on Thursday.
The "Buy American" language makes no economic sense. As Gary Clyde Hufbauer and Jeffrey J. Schott of the Peterson Institute for International Economics have pointed out, it would do very little to promote U.S. job creation. But if other countries responded with protectionist moves of their own, that could have a highly negative impact on U.S. jobs. "The negative job impact of foreign retaliation against Buy American provisions could easily outweigh the positive effect of the measures on jobs in the U.S. iron and steel sector and other industries," write Hufbauer and Schott. "The difference is that jobs lost would be spread across the entire manufacturing sector, while jobs gained would be concentrated in iron and steel and a few other industries."
However the "Buy American" debate turns out, one hopes that it does not signal a U.S. retreat from free trade and globalization. At a time of economic crisis at home and abroad, a trade war could have disastrous consequences. That's what happened during the 1930s, when America's Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act—passed by Congress and signed by President Herbert Hoover in 1930—unleashed a flurry of protectionism around the globe and exacerbated the Great Depression.
The Democratic Congress has close ties with organized labor and is heavily protectionist in its attitudes. Indeed, one of President Obama's biggest challenges will be to uphold U.S. support for free trade despite resistance from his own party. Of course, that assumes Obama himself is a free trader. During the campaign, he opposed bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) with Colombia and Panama and called for renegotiating NAFTA. In his first meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderón, shortly before Inauguration Day, Obama expressed his desire to "upgrade" NAFTA.
The world is now waiting to see whether, as president, Obama will be more skeptical of trade liberalization than Republican George W. Bush or Democrat Bill Clinton, the latter of whom championed NAFTA in the face of intense opposition from his fellow Democrats in Congress. If Obama wishes to maintain U.S. credibility and bolster America's trade partnerships, he cannot govern as a protectionist. His remarks on the stimulus package have been encouraging. But when push comes to shove, will he risk angering Democratic lawmakers—and powerful Democratic constituencies—in order to defend free trade?
The Europeans and Canadians are eager to know. So are political and business leaders in Latin America. Free trade is especially important to Latin America. In countries throughout the region, U.S.-led trade liberalization has improved economic opportunities, fortified market-oriented democracy, and strengthened the rule of law. At a time of major economic turmoil, U.S. leadership on free trade is critical. Obama must provide it.
He faces at least three big tests on hemispheric trade: whether he will revisit NAFTA; whether he will endorse (and urge Congress to approve) the Colombia and Panama FTAs; and whether he will pursue new FTAs with countries such as Brazil and Uruguay. The U.S.-Mexico relationship is fundamentally sound, so hopefully any disagreements over NAFTA can be ironed out without upsetting the basic framework of bilateral trade. The Colombia and Panama deals were both signed in late 2006; their approval by Congress is long overdue. Colombia is a key U.S. ally in South America whose government deserves credit for reducing violence and working with the United States to curb drug production.
In countries throughout the region, U.S.-led trade liberalization has improved economic opportunities, fortified market-oriented democracy, and strengthened the rule of law.
Brazil and Uruguay are both members of Mercosur, the South American trade bloc, which would complicate U.S. efforts to negotiate bilateral FTAs but not necessarily stymie them. In 2006, U.S. and Brazilian officials launched a new U.S.-Brazil Commercial Dialogue designed to enhance their bilateral trade relationship. Obama should build on this dialogue and push for a formal FTA. (Admittedly, this would require both the United States and Brazil to make some tough decisions on agriculture policy.) As for Uruguay, in 2007 U.S. and Uruguayan officials signed a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement, which created a U.S.-Uruguay Council on Trade and Investment. Obama should use this as a launching pad to pursue FTA talks with Montevideo.
Whether or not the United States seeks to expand its trade relationships in the Western Hemisphere, China will seek to expand its own. Beijing is moving rapidly to boost its economic links with Latin America. Meanwhile, Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chávez is trying to enlarge his anti-U.S. trade bloc, known as the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas. If Washington does not make hemispheric trade expansion a priority, it risks losing influence in the region. That would be bad for the United States, and bad for Latin America.

It all started with a void in the contemporary family.
"Our conversations with children are not deep enough," says psychiatrist Cece Feiler. "If you can't talk to your children, they grow up into adults who don't care.
"It forces you to slow down, to reflect and to interact in a meaningful way," Feiler says.
So together with actress Heidi Haddad, she created the Shabbat Box of Questions, whose Star of David-shaped question cards do inspire fun, even soul-searching moments.

"A feather in our kids' hats"
Three BCHS senior boys cagers selected for all-star event
Although their season may have ended in early March, three members of the BCHS senior boys basketball team were still on the court March 31 at an all-star event in Camrose.
Sytse Akkerman (Grade 11), Thijs DeWildt (Grade 10) and Gerben Deinum (Grade 12) were all selected by Augustana College to participate in the Augustana Vikings All-Star Series 2012, said coach Dave Mueller.
�Boys from all across the province were nominated by coaches or other teams� coaches,� he said. �Anybody who wanted to could nominate a player for an all-star appearance.�
To have one player selected, let alone three, says a great deal about the basketball program at BCHS and the players themselves, he added.
�Any time you give somebody, anybody, but especially kids, that title of an all star, that makes them feel pretty good,� Mueller said.
For Akkerman, the day had a bit of everything.
�It was fun,� he said. �It was really informative. I mean, the coaches are really in-depth and they gave us a lot of really good pointers on how we can get better for next year and even prepare for university.�
Some of the things he and the other all-stars learned included techniques to improve footwork on the court, how to improve their shooting form and other small things to gain that extra edge, he said.
The coaches also informed the players how they can get in touch with coaches at schools where they would like to play when they hit university or college, Akkerman added.
After the information session, the all-stars were divided into teams for an exhibition game, which was one of the highlights of the day for Akkerman.
�It was really cool,� he said. �There were really good players there. It�s hard to stand out anymore because everybody�s really good and really competitive.�
As for his own performance in the game, Akkerman said it wasn�t spectacular.
�I played alright,� he said. �I didn�t take many shots, and I could have been more aggressive.�
He chalked his less-than-aggressive play up to some nerves and having a large crowd on hand.
�Having college players and coaches watching you, it�s pretty nerve-wracking,� he said.
Since he�s only in Grade 11, Akkerman doesn�t need to worry too much about his post-secondary plans. However, he already has an idea what he wants to do with respect to basketball once he graduates from BCHS.
�I definitely want to play in university,� he said. �That would be awesome. But, it�s not a priority; it would just be a plus.�
When speaking of his fellow Barrhead all-stars, Akkerman had good things to say about them.
�Gerben was such a great leader all year,� he said. �He really stays composed and he doesn�t really have a temper. He�s just a really good leader.�
And DeWildt?
�Thijs, you could really see him improve throughout the year,� he said. �Being a 10th grader playing on a senior team is pretty hard, but you could see his confidence grow higher throughout the year.�
Being nominated and selected to attend the event came as a complete surprise to the boys, Mueller said.
He added that he recognizes the opportunity the selection presents to not only the BCHS players, but also the other all-stars. Playing for a university or college team can open up the players to life experiences they otherwise would not have had.
�If sports can get them there, that�s awesome,� he said.
Mueller went on to say he�s very proud of the boys, and their successes makes his coaching work even more rewarding.
�To me, coaching � is always about the kids and how it�s going to make them feel and how it�s going to make them better,� he said.

Adventure Forever's certified mountain guides and first-aid responders enlighten beginning outdoorspeople and seasoned aficionados alike on the intricacies of ice climbing, rock climbing, and easy to difficult day hikes. During full-day treks and lessons, guides escort troupes of thrill seekers up frozen faces and climbing courses, plying their clientele with the necessary skills and knowledge to tackle Mother Nature's vertical labyrinths. Each experienced guide carries years of wisdom, capably leading participants through regions stretching across Canada, the United States, and Middle Earth.
As riders learn the names of ancient trees and watch a stream meander through the mountains, wind rushes past their ears. That's because they are following two guides along courses set by an overhead belay zipline—only stopping to traverse a swinging suspension bridge or rappel down toward the forest floor. ArborTrek Canopy Adventures cofounder Michael Smith devises these tours, drawing from more than 18 years as a challenge-ropes-course builder, manager, and trainer. He leads a trained staff of zipline guides versed in wilderness rescue and first aid as well as ecology, geology, and the local histories of areas such as Vermont's Green Mountains. On each tour, two guides lead groups across interconnected ziplines, aerial bridges, rappelling walls, and other challenge elements. All the while, they follow a path that reveals facts about local history and ecology, such as which trees are native and what eggs forest rangers hatched from. ArborTrek's builders design each course to work with the environment, and they minimize their environmental impact by consulting with local foresters, wildlife experts, and engineers.
As the sun sets and the city lights begin to twinkle, the catamaran of Croisière Le Montréalais beckons guests with its glowing neon blue or pink deck. With revelers aboard, the bright lights dance across the inky waters as Le Montréalais heads out into the night. And while the ship may creep silently through the waters, the decks are anything but quiet as up to 300 guests mingle on two indoor and three outdoor decks. The design of the boat is sleek and modern, with ice-blue lighting, pure white furniture, neon mood lighting, and synthetic grass on the outdoor deck and the ceiling of the up-side-down putting room. A dance floor and full sound system invite guests to dance the night away, and menus provide sustenance with bites of salmon tartar, pork ravioli, and lamb sliders.
One of the first FlowRiders available in the area, Maeva Surf's indoor system grants surfing aficionados a place to ride waves safely no matter the season or weather. The double FlowRider's powerful pumps hurl water, like a schoolchild with a squirt gun, at 40 km/h along a trampoline-like surface made of tightly stretched canvas, creating two waves that accommodate a maximum of six surfers. During the introductory FlowBoard class, students absorb 30 minutes of instruction covering safety techniques and wave patterns, followed by 30 minutes on the waves themselves. Each ride on a flowboard lasts anywhere between 1 and 45 seconds depending on the level of expertise of the riders and whether they believe time is a construct of the mind. Meanwhile, students with reservations can choose to experience bodyboard instead. After class, students can browse the attached shop for beachwear and surfing paraphernalia such as Oxbow sandals ($17), a Rip Curl bathing suit ($50), and an O'Neill belt ($23).
Driven by a desire to share their passion for luxury and classic cars, the crew at Dream Car Rentals founded an independent rental agency that places customers behind the wheel of Ferraris, Porsches, Audis, and Dodges. They deliver their fleet of five cars directly to clients for weekend rentals, special events, day-long joyrides, or unplanned visits from 1980s action-film stars. They also coordinate race days, when customers can pilot the four-wheeled steeds on the 3.4-kilometre Circuit iCar course or the 5-kilometre topographic track at Calabogie Motorsports Park, which features 20 sharp turns and an anti-minotaur security system.
Astride their trusty snowmobiles, the knowledgeable guides at Jay Snowmobile Adventures help visiting adventurers conquer the winter landscape during tours of picturesque Vermont snowscapes. One- and two-person tour packages begin at the outfitter's home base, located 3 miles from the entrance of Jay Peak Resort. From there, groups wind through the wilderness of Jay, Vermont and parts of Westfield for up to two hours, exploring the snowy nooks and frost-covered crannies of Jay State Forest and the nearby countryside. They rarely make the trip alone, though; moose and white-tailed deer often dot the secluded paths, ready to pose for snapshots in their most photogenic outfits.

Seven years. 1,985 posts. And, I don't know, millions of calories?
Yes, Food Frenzy is coming to an end. Don't fret, though – I'm happy to report there's some exciting things happening with our food coverage at the Register. Stay tuned!
I would like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who's been reading over the years. I think everyone who's written for Frenzy would agree that the best part wasn't stuffing our faces with Philly cheese steaks, pho and cupcakes on the company dime – though that part wasn't half bad.
In seriousness, it's been a complete blast connecting with so many food lovers from Orange County and beyond. In your calls, emails and comments, you shared your own food experiences, pointed us to your favorite hole-in-the-walls and, occasionally, told us we were totally wrong. Even though I often ate alone, I felt like I was bringing you all into the restaurant with me each time.
So, let's raise a glass to the ol' girl as she drifts off into the blog sunset. You're all invited to stop by Memphis at the Santora (that's the Santa Ana location) around 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 2. I'll be holding down the fort with some of the other Frenzy alum. I hope we'll see you there!

Played Out Pi Gags
I want to briefly (very briefly) touch on the Nortel patent bidding just over a week ago. There was a lot of media coverage and some of it focused on how Google was making bizarre bids that were mathematical numbers like pi. The general perception became that Google wasn't really taking it that seriously.
This is wrong.
Not only were they taking it seriously but they were taking it very seriously. A well-placed source present during the entire bidding process informed me that bidding got pretty intense among all the parties, including Google. In fact, when bids got as high as the $4 billion mark, Google employees had to take a break in order to go back and clear new, higher bids with Larry Page.
My point is that Google didn't just take this lying down. They knew exactly how much they wanted to spend and how much they were willing to go over that amount to get what they wanted. And they lost.
In the midst of all the free and great services that Google provides, it's easy to look at them like a snarky little startup that just happens to be more successful than most. They're not. They are a large business and they're very good at being one. Are they going to get slammed by litigation now? Of course. Those Nortel patents were valuable. But just like Apple, Microsoft, Intel, and a whole host of others, Google knows what it's doing. Most successful businesses do.
Except RIM.

Last year, David Levy published a book, Love and Sex with Robots, which marked a culmination of years of research about the interactions between humans and computers. His basic idea is that, for humans who cannot establish emotional or sexual connections with other people, they might form them with robots. The topic is ripe for ridicule: On The Colbert Report in January, host Stephen Colbert asked Levy, "Are these people who can't establish relationships with other human beings, are they by any chance people who write about love and sex with robots?" The 62-year-old Levy, though, is quite serious, as he explains to frequent contributor Charles Q. Choi in the Insights story "Not Tonight, Dear, I Have to Reboot," appearing in the March issue of Scientific American. Here is an expanded interview.
How did you first become interested in artificial intelligence (AI)?
Everything happened almost by accident. I learned to play chess by eight—it was my big passion in high school and university. In my last year at university, I came across a thing called a computer. I heard about it, but knew nothing about it. They were incredibly primitive then—they didn't run on transistors, but on vacuum tubes. I got interested in computer programming through programming games. Then I head about a subject called AI, which people in Edinburgh were working on, such as Donald Michie, the head of the department of machine intelligence at the University of Edinburgh, who worked with Alan Turing on breaking German codes. Donald Michie was an amazing guy who was killed just recently in a car crash. He was the founding father of AI in the U.K. and introduced me and others to AI.
So your interest in chess programs led you to computers and, ultimately, artificial intelligence?
Back then, people wrote chess programs to simulate human thought processes. It turned out in time that approach didn't work, that chess programs would use completely different techniques that are not humanlike at all. But I was still left interested in simulating human thought processes and emotions and personality. I thought, "Wouldn't it be interesting if there were artificial people we could talk to?" So that started me thinking even more about the way humans interact with computers—not just by typing on a keyboard, but how people could interact with computers in a humanlike way. I funded a project for three years that won the Loebner Prize in 1997, a world championship for conversational computer programs decided by a Turing test–type conversation.
In other words, the program's responses tried as much as possible to be indistinguishable from those of a human, and in Turing's conception, the machine could be said to think. So, moving on from mere conversation, you began researching how, um, far interaction between humans and robots could go?
Around the year 2003, I started researching this topic very seriously. I was writing a book, Robots Unlimited, with a couple of chapters on robot emotion—love, even sex. I found so much material that when I finished that book, I wanted to look even more deeply in human emotional relationships with computers, with the possibility of sexual relations. I decided to call the book I wrote Love and Sex with Robots.
Did any of the research you found prove especially memorable?
The one single thing that made me go into this subject deeply was when I read a book by Sherry Turkle, The Second Self. In there, she wrote about some students she interviewed in her attempts to figure out how people related to computers. In one anecdote with a student dubbed "Anthony," he tried having girlfriends but preferred relationships with computers. With girls, he wasn't sure how to react; but with computers, he knew how to react. I thought that was so fascinating. And there are loads of Anthonys out there who find it difficult to, or can't form satisfying relationships with, humans. I dedicated my book Love and Sex with Robots to Anthony and all the other Anthonys before and since of both sexes—to all those who feel lost and hopeless without relationships, to let them know there will come a time when they can form relationships with robots.

Nutrition Education
From birth to 12 months, breastmilk or iron-fortified formula should remain your baby's main source of nutrition. During this stage, your baby will breastfeed on demand or need about 24 ounces of infant formula daily. All babies are different so be sure to follow her hunger and fullness cues.
Breastmilk is recommended as the best start for babies. It's the ideal source of nutrition during your baby's first year of life. The Nestlé Feeding Infants and Toddler Study (FITS) 2008 found that mothers are breastfeeding their children longer than they did just a few years ago. In 2008, 33 percent of nine- to-11 month olds were still receiving breastmilk compared to just 21 percent in 2002. Breastmilk has a balance of nutrients including proteins, carbohydrates and fat—to help her develop and grow. It also helps protect your baby by providing antibodies and fostering a natural protective environment in her digestive system. However, when breastmilk isn't an option, iron-fortified infant formula provides complete nutrition for your baby and is the only substitute for breastmilk.
As long as your baby consumes adequate amounts of breastmilk or infant formula, generally there are no nutrition concerns at this stage of development. Breastmilk and infant formula have protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins, and minerals needed for healthy growth and development.
An important way to tell whether your baby is getting enough to eat is by following her hunger and fullness cues. Responding to these cues can help your baby understand her own feelings of hunger and fullness.

I'll buy that--and I can see where my confusion was as well, since I try to use "at least one person has blue eyes" as a reduced piece of information, which is distinct, but I think these two are equivalent with respect to the puzzle.
Edit: Still, I'm having problems seeing this as a simpler way of explaining it, maybe just cause I don't see the explanation from this angle. Could you post a sample?
A - "The Guru could be referring to me. If I was the only blue eyed person all I would see was brown eyed people, therefore the guru HAD to be referring to me, and my eyes are blue. If there is only 1 blue eyed person and it wasn't me then that person would leave on the first night because he realised he had to be the one the guru was referring too. If there are 2 blue eyed people then he won't leave because he isn't totally sure the guru is referring to him. If he isn't totally sure that the guru is referring to him then he must be seeing another blue eyed person since all I see is a blue eyed and the rest are brown and a green the only possible other person he could be seeing who is blue has to be me." etc.
However he has to know that the blue eyed people he is seeing know that they could possibly be the one, otherwise they won't go through the same logical progression 'A' above and they WON'T be 'testing' if it's them or not by observing how other blues act which would skew the results.
If the guru made 2 separate announcements to half the group each and both groups know about both announcements then counting works, however if the guru misses one person then tells that person in secret then the counting won't start because they're not sure if that last person knows and the link is broken.
I'm not real good at explaining this stuff but that's the way my mind goes through it.

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
Press Releases
U.S. Department of Labor |
Credit union employees in Fort Worth, Texas, to receive more than $83,000 in back overtime wages following US Department of Labor investigation
FORT WORTH, Texas -- American Airlines Federal Credit Union in Fort Worth, Texas, has agreed to pay $83,608 in overtime back wages to 295 current and former tellers, loan officers and customer service representatives, following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division that found violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act's overtime and record-keeping provisions.
"This company profited from employees working overtime without paying proper wages," said Cynthia Watson, regional administrator for the Wage and Hour Division in the Southwest. "According to labor standards, work hours should be counted, recorded and paid for fairly. A nonexempt employee who works more than 40 hours a week is due overtime wages for those hours at a rate of time and one-half his or her regular pay."
The investigation, conducted by the Wage and Hour Division's Dallas District Office, found that the credit union improperly classified its salaried employees as exempt from the FLSA's overtime provisions and paid them "straight-time" wages, rather than time and one-half as required by the FLSA. Additionally, the credit union failed to maintain accurate time and payroll records of employees' work hours and wages.
The credit union, a cooperative financial institution which provides banking and other financial services to employees and their families, has agreed to properly classify and compensate employees for all hours worked in compliance with the FLSA.
The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 for all hours worked, plus time and one-half their regular rates of pay, including commissions, bonuses and incentive pay, for hours worked beyond 40 per week. Employers must also maintain accurate time and payroll records.
For more information about the FLSA and other federal wage laws, call the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or its Dallas office at 817-861-2150. Information also is available on the Internet at http://www.dol.gov/whd.
U.S. Department of Labor releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office upon request. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7828 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The Labor Department is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

- Review Date: 2012-07-30
- Reviewer: Staff
This depressing book details the recent wreckage of the American middle-class dream: the hope for decent comfort and security for oneself and one's family under fair rules set the same for everyone. Smith, a Pulitzer-winning former New York Times reporter and expert on Russia and the Pentagon Papers, is comprehensive and compelling in his coverage and blame laying. His principle villains are American corporations and politicians, his concerns such realities as the nation's huge wealth gap and excessive pay for corporate executives, even those who fail. But while the book performs an important service in bringing recent history and well-known problems together, there's little in it that's new. In calling for a "populist renaissance," a domestic Marshall Plan, and more citizens' involvement, Smith's on the side of liberal angels. But he doesn't deal adequately with structural and institutional barriers to reform, instead arguing principally that changes of heart and civic engagement will make things right. Unfortunately, the book is written in blaringly subtitled two-page chapterettes, as if readers won't stick with Smith long enough to learn what he has to say. But even if patronizing to some readers, the book is a strong, effective liberal indictment of things as they are. Agent: David Black, David Black Literary Agency. (Sept.)

Alpine Banks of Colorado has just announced its next big move — expansion to the Front Range in 2013. A site in lower downtown Denver has been selected for the new Alpine Bank location with plans to begin serving the public by the third quarter of 2013.
Norm Franke, a 30-year Alpine Bank veteran, has been named regional president of the forthcoming Front Range region. Franke is well prepared for the challenge; in 1991, he opened the first Mesa County Alpine Bank location and successfully grew the bank's presence in the region over the next 22 years.
Taking over as the bank's Mesa County regional president is 23-year employee Clay Tufly. Tufly began his career with Alpine in 1990 and in addition to managing many Alpine Bank locations over the years, he has been president of the downtown Grand Junction location for the past eight years. Tufly was born and raised in Grand Junction and graduated from Mesa State College (now Colorado Mesa University) with a degree in business management and an emphasis in finance.

I'll actually believe that that's got to give.
-- -- -- and definitely a hot.
Kneeling -- that would Jeff -- he's the man of the allies that GSA official who coordinated that now notorious DC to Vegas conference.
Apparently he had no trouble spending of -- 100000 dollars on the four days -- Reportedly telling investigators he was paying -- quality.
That includes 2700 dollars he spent on a private -- in his hotel suite.
But traveling from California to DC to testify today while back is another story.
Need is a Tony's saying quote.
Requiring mr.
-- to travel from California to appear before the committee when you -- been advised that he will not answer any -- questions posed to him.
Does not advance any legitimate committee purpose.
So wasting tax dollars on a clown on a mind reader that's okay spending on travel to DC to testify about it -- is not.
-- Republican congressman Chris okay Fitz is a member of the oversight committee looking into all of this your first reaction to mr.
-- side.
This is absolutely government at its worst the audacity of that not just him but others within that agency.
To bought and so grossly spend the American taxpayers money.
And then when I questioned the former administrator the person had -- resigning in disgrace ms.
And I said why did you give him a bonus -- a 9000 dollar bonus.
She said he was entitled to it I I have never I have not been offended to that degree and -- long time story that is so obnoxious it just drives me crazy.
Again again I go back to the timing of this because just over the weekend a lot of people -- paying out money to the IRS paying their taxes.
And now they say mister Neely in a halt job.
Apparently on the taxpayer -- and a couple of drinks right then next to him.
-- the timing is very bad -- -- I I really think this is causing some real outrage today.
Prosecution I think you reflect that -- -- -- voice.
Well it.
You've got to remember this incident took place in 2010.
This guy is still a government employee the idea that he has not been fired at this point it's just so outrageous story.
Think they literally spent hundreds of thousands of dollars getting clowns and other types of things that's just.
Total disregard in respect for the taxpayers money the Obama administration this is a theme through a lot of different investigations now they don't seem to fire anybody.
It's that they hire more people there a 140000.
Additional federal workers since Barack Obama took office and you see this kind of massive spending.
And then people gotta write their own checks the funded in it's just absolutely intolerable -- you have.
Do you know if mr.
Neely is still being paid he's not been fired oh yeah ultimately I think he's in Baghdad -- he's still collects the check and he -- six figures that's the thing is sorry if he's still getting paid.
He got a 9000 dollar bonus for all of this suppose -- great work.
-- it's ridiculous -- but let me play the other.
Side of the fence just for 12 this is one agency.
It's long conference.
And you could say that some of those videos that we show so frequently off self mocking not mocking the tax -- self mocking.
That is the other side of the coin how do you respond.
Now they were using taxpayer dollars in taxpayer time to do this they had to 30000.
Dollar expenses that we use.
-- to have these sort of events in award ceremonies which really look like fiction.
And we're actually doing work think about they spent over 800000 dollars -- -- 300 people there and mr.
Healy and others took eight.
-- trips to Las Vegas this -- out where they were gonna do this I used to be in Oklahoma City but now it's suddenly in Las Vegas come -- that's Demi plays is this and -- Divestment of the way government look at behave in the Obama administration.
Although all the government workers of many many years because that's that's psyche that's their approach to walk and spending taxpayer money which is it.
I hope it's isolated there are a lot of good hardworking patriotic up -- goal of government employees out there.
But we have too many government employees.
Doing this that it destroys the reputation of the United States America.
Remember the GSA had a budget of 595.
Million dollars to operate in an annual basis the Obama administration gave us six.
Billion dollar stimulus to go out and spend.
And then the administrator came back -- said we need another eighty million dollar increase in our budget.
And he just they're just they can't spend the money fast enough that's one of the problems with the stimulus part of the problem with the Obama administration there does seem to be any oversight.
And then when we find the problem.
They don't fire them where they're continuing to take a paycheck.
Congressman Jason -- if -- Republican you -- thanks for joining us appreciate it thanks for.
