When I get mad, I get motivated. That's probably why I'm in public office. When I did a little research and realized what then-Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector Robert L. "Bob" Citron was doing, I got mad. Mad enough to step out of my comfort zone as a partner in a large local C.P.A. accountancy firm, Balser, Horowitz, Frank & Wakeling, and run against him, unsuccessfully, in the June 1994 primary (see https://www.ronbluecpa.com/location/orange-county).
Well, I'm watching the financial status of California and its municipalities crumble and everyone seems to either be ignoring it or putting their heads in the sand. What to do? There is no singular and accessible public repository to find the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for every municipality. So, my office decided to create it. We went to every school district website or contacted the districts (two or three still haven't provided them). We also received exceptional assistance from Marc Joffe at Reason Foundation by helping us track down a few of the stragglers.
Since my stint as Chairman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors in 2012, I've been reviewing California county CAFRs and taking their Unrestricted Net (Assets or Deficit) Position (UNP) and dividing it by its population. The per capita UNP is a very reliable indicator of the fiscal status of a municipality and allows us to compare them apples-to-apples (or, in the case below, oranges-to-oranges). The UNP should be positive (net assets), but more than likely it is negative (net deficit).
We reviewed the 482 cities earlier this year because I was mad. I've been drafting and presenting pension reform legislation and most of the cities, with the exception of those in Orange County, have been largely disengaged on this ever-increasing millstone. What to do? Show everyone how all of the cities are doing. It's having an impact. The third and fourth editorial pieces below are recent columns from the Culver City Observer. The columnist gets it. Not only for the city, but for the city's school teachers (see MOORLACH UPDATE — City CAFR Rankings – Vol. 1 – February 7, 2018). Just wait until the columnist finds out that Culver City Unified is #831 out of 940 — ouch (see MOORLACH UPDATE — California School District Rankings, Group 13 — August 28, 2018).
The second piece below announces our most recent review of the CAFRs for the 944 school districts in California. As a few have combined to save on auditing fees, we have 940 on the list. The Orange County Breeze, in the second piece below, provides the overview from our press release.
I have had the pleasure these past few years of serving on the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee and its Subcommittee No. 1 on Education (see https://sbud.senate.ca.gov/subcommittee1). When I'm told by representatives of our state's CSU and UC systems that they cannot provide me with a ten-year Strategic Financial Plan, I get mad.
When I hear that teachers in LA voted to go on strike, I get mad. Don't these people know how desperate their employer's CAFR is? And, that it will be worse when the June 30, 2018 audits are completed thanks to the now required inclusion of retiree medical liabilities?
So, as an involved and committed elected official, I rolled up my sleeves and, with my staff, started digging. Regretfully, the data we obtained is not encouraging and the trend lines are not going in the right direction.
What to do? It's time to be proactive! Now! If California's elected leaders continue to hesitate, then being reactive will be too late and too ugly.
The first piece below is my editorial submission on this most recent school CAFR repository project. To be honest with you, the numbers were so bleak it impacted me emotionally. I was truly saddened to reveal the results of our simple metric. You've already seen them by my releasing 14 volumes of data in the month of August. The OC Register gave me an opportunity to expound on Orange County's 27 public school districts.
If anything, I hope you get mad, too. And, get out of your comfort zone and do something to improve the situation. Volunteer for a campaign. Contribute to a candidate. Put up a yard sign. Even start doing the research to see if you should be a candidate yourself someday. We're leaving a massive mess to our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Please, get motivated.
All OC public school districts but one bleed red ink
Of Orange County's 27 public school districts, just one, Fountain Valley Elementary, boasts a positive balance sheet. Unfortunately, the other school districts have balance sheets that have dipped into the red.
The scoring comes as part of my new report, "Financial Soundness Rankings for California's Public School Districts, Colleges & Universities." It reviews the financial soundness of all 944 California public school districts. I performed a similar review of California's 482 cities, including Orange County's 34 cities, back in March. In that case, 19 O.C. cities ran positive balance sheets, although 15 ran red ink – a much better performance than for the school districts.
The rankings derive from each district's latest Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which you can find on their respective websites. In each CAFR, look for the "Basic Financial Statements," starting with the page titled "Statement of Net Position." Look at the top row for "Government Activities." Then look down the column to where it says, first "Net Position," then "Unrestricted." That's the number you want: the Unrestricted Net Position, or UNP.
The number will either be positive or, with parentheses around it, negative.
I also divide the UNP by the district's population to get a per-capita UNP. If negative, that's the amount each person in the district is in hock for, whether or not your children attend school. Citizens should be concerned about the trajectory of these negative balances, which are commonly attributed to unfunded pension liabilities. As school board members are auditioning for their jobs, they need to be held accountable for dealing with these liabilities.
If the negative number runs too high too long, it will mean cuts in teachers, equipment, band and sports, and ultimately calls for tax increases. In the worst cases, takeover by the state, even bankruptcy, is not out of the question.
Fountain Valley Elementary's positive number clocks at $78 per capita. For comparison, it ranks 102nd of California's 944 school districts.
It's all negative after that, with the second and third "best" being Laguna Beach Unified at ($223) and Fullerton Joint Union High at ($344).
By far the worst is Santa Ana Unified at ($1,805), a very dangerous number. It ranks a dismal 901st of California's 944 school districts.
Oddly, the next two places of financial distress are held by districts in wealthy OC communities, Irvine Unified ($1,115) and Newport-Mesa Unified ($1,089).
Here are the per capita UNPs for all Orange County school districts:
1. Fountain Valley $ 78
2. Laguna Beach Unified ($ 223)
3. Fullerton Joint Union High ($ 344)
4. Huntington Beach City Union High ($ 350)
5. Huntington Beach City Elementary ($ 508)
6. Centralia Elementary ($ 532)
7. Orange Unified ($ 553)
8. Garden Grove Unified ($ 573)
9. Savanna Elementary ($ 589)
10. Cypress Elementary ($ 607)
11. Los Alamitos Unified ($ 619)
12. Anaheim Union High ($ 675)
13. Magnolia Elementary ($ 741)
14. Fullerton Elementary ($ 743)
15. La Habra City Elementary ($ 752)
16. Saddleback Valley Unified ($ 779)
17. Ocean View ($ 813)
18. Tustin Unified ($ 837)
19. Anaheim Elementary ($ 841)
20. Brea-Olinda Elementary ($ 888)
21. Buena Park Elementary ($ 898)
22. Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified ($ 966)
23. Capistrano Unified ($ 967)
24. Westminster ($ 988)
25. Newport-Mesa Unified ($1,089)
26. Irvine Unified ($1,115)
27. Santa Ana Unified ($1,805)
This is part of my effort to track the per capita UNPs of California's various government budgets. In addition to the city budgets mentioned earlier, I have tracked counties, community colleges, California State University and the University of California as well as all 50 U.S. states.
You can follow all these analyses on my legislative website. The reports will be regularly updated.
Next year is going to be especially revealing – and distressing – as the Governmental Accounting Standards Board for the first time will require balance sheets to include unfunded retiree medical liabilities, which will show even more city and school districts in critical condition.
And when the next economic recession hits, for even those modestly distressed, it's going to be one big financial train wreck.
Let's hope our elected school board members and their administrative staff get in front of this serious cash management squeeze on their horizon. It's time to be proactive, as taxpayers are not very forgiving with those who are reactive. Especially with supposed leaders who only have one solution: raise taxes.
John M.W. Moorlach, R-Costa Mesa, represents the 37th District in the California Senate
Moorlach report finds 2/3 of California's 944 school districts bleed red ink
Sen. John Moorlach released his latest fiscal report, "Financial Soundness Rankings for California's Public School Districts, Colleges & Universities." SEE REPORT HERE. It follows his March 2018 reports on the state's 482 cities that found 2/3 of them in the red; of 58 counties, 55 suffered deficits and only three enjoyed positive balance sheets. His May 2018 report on the 50 U.S. states found only nine were financially healthy, with California ranked among the worst, in 42nd place.
Some key findings from the new education report:
- About two-thirds of California's 944 public school districts run negative balance sheets. These statements show the most distressed districts could soon reach a tipping point into insolvency and receivership.
- Of the state's large school districts, those in severe distress include Los Angeles Unified School District, with a negative $10.9 billion balance sheet; San Diego Unified at negative $1.5 billion; Fresno Unified at negative $849 million; and Santa Ana Unified at negative $485 million, the worst in Orange County.
- Of Orange County's 27 public school districts, only one, Fountain Valley School District, is in positive financial territory.
- One bright spot is the 58 county boards of education. At least 51 of them have manageable per capita unrestricted net deficits of -$159 or less, with 14 in positive territory.
- Of the state's 72 community college districts, only one enjoys a positive unrestricted net position (UNP).
- Cal State University's balance sheet is negative $3.66 billion.
- The University of California's balance sheet bleeds red ink all over the state, at negative $19.3 billion. Worse, that will double next year, to $38.6 billion, when retiree medical is included.
The Moorlach Report is a flashing caution light to almost every public education budget in California. Unless things can change quickly, taxpayers can expect new levies, and post-secondary students and parents should fear higher tuition.
This article was released by the Office of Senator John Moorlach.
Editor's Note: Los Alamitos Unified School District is ranked 426, Savannah Elementary School District is ranked 408, Cypress Elementary School District is ranked 423, and Anaheim Union High School District is ranked 463.
Teachers Pensions Beat Others by 3-1 Margin
By Neil Rubenstein
In an ironic twist, a recent study by the nonprofit Bellwether Education Partners has found that the rising costs of teacher pension plans are starting to eat into their own salary hikes.
Teachers, and their unions, often complain about low salaries. The research from Bellwether shows that, since 1994, teacher salaries have failed to keep pace with inflation.
But total compensation for teachers has risen faster than inflation when non-salary benefits, such as insurance and retirement, are included.
Chad Aldeman, an associate partner at Bellwether, says lack of money isn't why teacher salaries aren't rising.
"Even after adjusting for inflation and rising student enrollment, total school spending is up," Aldeman reports.
"It's not for lack of money spent on teachers, either. Districts are allocating about the same portion of their budgets to instructional costs – including salaries, wages, and benefits for teachers – as they did 20 years ago."
Aldeman notes that teachers have the highest retirement benefits of almost any profession.
"While the average civilian employee receives $1.78 for retirement benefits per hour of work, public school teachers receive $6.22 per hour
in retirement compensation," Aldeman's report says.
To be fair, teachers pay part of their salary into a taxpayer-backed pension fund.
When the fund does well, retired teachers do too.
But when the fund doesn't make its financial goals, a deal that California lawmakers signed years ago essentially requires other state residents to make-up the difference—usually through higher property- or sales-taxes, like the ones that Culver's government officials and its employees want you to approve in November.
Senator: Culver in Bad Financial Shape
Culver City is listed by State Sen. John Moorlach as being in one of most egregiously worst financial positions of the 482 cities that recently filed documents with Sacramento.
Meantime, our Council just moved $10 million from the City's reserve fund, setting aside those funds by placing them into an irrevocable trust and making them only available to pay for City employees' retirements.
This financial move should reassure City employees nearing retirement that their hefty pensions will be paid.
But what does the Council's newly formed trust really do to alleviate the almost $4,000 tax burden for every man, women and child in Culver City who don't work for our local government?
This commentary does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Observer. Previous columns by Neil Rubenstein can be found at http://www.culvercityobserver.com
After November, Even More Tax Hikes May be Needed
By Neil Rubenstein
Can little Culver City continue to pay super-large paychecks and pensions to current and former City employees?
If so, local taxes will need to continue to rise.
No, I'm just not pointing the finger at our Police and Fire departments, but other City agencies as well. Our City Manager's total of money and benefits is now over $400,000 annually, and some local government employee's will never see the inside of a discount store because they're collecting more than $175,000 in retiree pensions.
On Nov. 6, Culver City voters will be asked to approve another $187 annual property-tax to fund the School District plus a sharp increase in the City's sales tax.
If our local government can't reign in its spending now, it's a safe bet that there will be more taxes to come in future years.
Time for a Culver Firewoman
I just guess I would feel better if we had a better system. After all, it's been more than 100 years that Culver City has been functioning but has never had one lady in the firehouse.
Isn't it possible to create a separate classification for paramedics, like so many other departments throughout our country have done? Surely, our Council should wake-up and change this poo-poo policy before our City is sued.
More on City Finances
Continuing the Culver City' Observer's policy of informing the public of our dire financial situation: State Sen. John Moorlach, R-Costa Mesa, has listed all 482 cities in California based on their current financial situation and outlook for the next few years.
Culver City ranks 478, just five up from the bottom. With 40,000 residents, every man, woman and child in our community would have to pay $3,979 each to pay our City's expenses.
Sen. Moorlach's comprehensive study found that Culver's financial position today is even worse than that of Bell and Maywood—and most of us know how those two cities turned-out.
Moorlach has already gained the support of several anti-tax groups, including the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, which grew out of the 1970s property-tax revolt, and the National Tax Limitation Committee.

Yee: More 'Transparency' Needed
California State Controller Betty Yee spoke on Sept, 22 at a South County Labor meeting that I attended. A group of about 400 activists from several trade unions and candidates for political office were there.
Yee and I had a long conversation on my suggestions to continue to improve financial transparency in California cities and counties. It's probably only a matter of time before improvements will be mandated by Sacramento.
At our table were Veronica Sauceda, candidate running for L.A. Superior Court Judge No. 4 (www.Saucedaforjudge.com) and Patricia Hunter (www.pattihunter4judge.com/), candidate running for L.A. Superior Court Judge, office No. 16.
Please vote for both Hunter and Sauceda. In my opinion, they will be fair and have integrity.

New Teachers, Same Budget Woes
With so many dozens of brand-new teachers with little or no real classroom experience having been hired by the Culver City Unified School District in the past three years, one would think that the district's average cost of its teaching staff would be much lower.
But, if you check out the CCUSD/CCFT negotiated Collective Bargaining Agreements on the district's website covering this school year and the last one, you'll find that the average compensation cost (combined salary and benefits) per teacher is $91,775 and under the CCUSD/CCFT collective Bargaining Agreement on Health and Welfare, it shows that the average cost of a teacher's health and welfare is $5,222.
To find the teachers' average salary, you would simply have to subtract the district's average health and welfare costs from the teachers' average compensation. In doing the math, you would come up with $86,553 as the teachers' average salary–not the ridiculously low figure that Bruce Lebedoff Ander gave in his recent letter that was printed in the Observer.
His is almost $20,000 off- the-mark. It may have been $67,270 at one time, but that was probably a long time ago.
Wasn't it five years ago when some current board members agreed to a five-year plan to give district-wide staff a raise that, at the time, was of an unknown size?
They helped pay for it by taking millions of dollars out of our School District's reserves, and that, its final district costs turned out to be almost $20 million. That was the equivalent of giving district staff an unprecedented 30 percent salary increase.
But, that's not even counting the district's annual Step & Column's increases of 3 percent to 4.1 percent for teachers with less than 10 years of service in the district. For those fortunate teachers, their salary increases could well have been between 45 percent and 50 percent over the last five years.
Now, Bruce Lebedoff Ander certainly has the right to express his own opinion of me. But hopefully, next time when he tries to throw around monetary figures, he will check the accuracy of his sources before putting out such wildly untrue and misleading information into the public discussion.

Day 422 (Singapore Day 5)
I struck out on my own as a tourist, leaving Jamie's about midday and making my way downtown to a hostel just off Lavender Street. After checking in, I perused a map of Singapore for a while to find the various spots Jamie recommended I check out. Then I put on my walking shoes (thongs) and ventured out into the big city. Through Little India and along Arab Street I wandered, before riding the MRT to Bayview and exploring Marina Sands and the impressive Garden by the Bay. I had a nap on a park bench under three of the Super Trees before deciding to walk over to the other cluster of trees. By this time is was just on dark. I was surprised to find the place packed with people sitting down and looking in the same direction. I was there for just a minute when the public announcement sounded, "The show is about to begin…" I had no idea there was a show. WOW! What a spectacle. The light extravaganza was stunning. Returning home, my thoughts somehow turned to Taiwan and I wondered whether I might teach English there when I run out of money.

Life Imitates Art
|Metropolitan Museum of Art
And this Egyptian tile at the Met reminded me of ...
the skyscrapers reflected in the windows of other skyscrapers.
Wowzer! I know the last week has been New York City overload on this little blog, but I just couldn't help myself. It was such a fun trip for all of us and I enjoyed re-living it. I appreciate your indulgence. In case you missed any of the posts you can check them out here, here, and here.
And one last New York tidbit:
When William and I were on the Staten Island Ferry we were debating whether there are any marine mammals living in the New York harbour. So I Googled it when we got home and was pleased to discover that there are. In fact we just missed seeing a dolphin as you can read about here on the blog called Nature on the Edge of New York. I wanted to tell you about this blog because it is such an interesting read. I spent one evening reading back through his posts about all the birds and marine creatures he has found in and around New York City. Who knew? If you live anywhere near New York you might find this a really interesting blog to read.

New York City - Hotel, Food, and Packing Suggestions
I've been asked by several people where we stayed in New York and I'm always happy to tell them about the great hotel we found. We have stayed at the Salisbury Hotel three times now and have never been disappointed. By the way, this is not a sponsored post - just a helpful tip in case you are looking for a good place to stay in New York City.
The Salisbury Hotel is on 57th Street in midtown Manhattan just across the street and down a bit from Carnegie Hall. It was built in the 1930s as a church-hotel complex with the adjoining Calvary Baptist Church. The rooms are adequately sized, but even more importantly are modestly priced. If you love fancy shmancy hotel rooms then you may not love the bathrooms as they seemed a bit dated, but apart from that the rooms were spotlessly clean and well cared for. In addition, most rooms have a small kitchenette so you can get your own meals and snacks as desired. There are many small grocery stores in the area (the nearest one being just a few doors down the street) to get some fruit, yogurt, bread, soups etc or even a take-out meal.

Five Days in New York
|La Traviata (Source)
As you can see they are working on upgrading the infrastructure on Peck Slip so the middle of the street is a construction site. Peck Slip is wedge-shaped because the centre used to be open water where the ships were moored. About 1810 the centre got filled in and was used as a market space and eventually became a parking lot and walkway. There was some talk of making it a nautical-themed park, but I'm not sure if that is still in the works.
The photo below shows the oldest building on Peck Slip (from 1807) with one of the towers of the Brooklyn Bridge just peaking over the elevated roadway on the right side of the photo. Although this is not from the same time period that our relatives lived there, which was back in the 1660s, it is the building that has the most historic ambiance so I was drawn to it.
William had printed off a very interesting walking tour of Greenwich Village that we followed (which he found here). It featured lots of the place Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg and other lovelies hung out/lived/wrote poetry/played music/threw up/got into trouble etc. Great fun!
In the photo below you can see a close up of a poster on the door of Cafe Wha? that was part of our tour. I'm not really much into music, but even I've heard of almost every one of the musicians that got their start at Cafe Wha?. It still is a live music venue although it has a very run-down appearance, but really this place should be a museum.
|Carnegie Hall Weill Recital Hall
The long tubes across the centre hall of the Guggenheim were one of the art installations. It wasn't until we got up close that we realized those coloured parts were liquid. It must have been difficult to install across the great open space. They looked really beautiful with the light shining through the coloured sections.
And then it was time to go. Sniff. Sniff.
Isn't that a great photo we got out of the airplane window. Amazing to think we had been walking through Central Park and right past that big reservoir just hours before.
It was a fabulous five days. We saw lots. We did lots. We walked lots! My mother wore a pedometer and according to it she walked over 40 kms and William and I walked further. There is so much to see and do in New York that you never feel like you have enough time. Mind you that was all the energy I had as we got home on Sunday evening and it was right back to work the next morning, which meant I dragged myself around all week.

Price management boils down to one word: control. It's on the minds of a lot of pricing leaders who struggle with data scattered throughout the company with no single source of pricing truth. Or don't have the tools and processes to answer things like where the biggest product and customer pricing opportunities are hiding. Further, if businesses don't have a way to maintain competitive, realistic pricing online, then they'll miss buyers who are shifting to digital channels in record numbers. Without control, pricing isn't working as a competitive advantage and businesses risk falling behind.
Consider one business whose lagging prices contributed to significant market share loss. Static price lists and manual updates made it virtually impossible for pricing teams to keep up with spontaneous sales published by competitors. However, once this business applied a technology-driven approach to pricing, things changed.
The result? By replacing static price lists with our dynamic pricing engine, company leaders who took control of their pricing and are now calculating 26 million prices a day for their eCommerce channel—all in real time, on demand, and based on current market trends.
Similar price management transformations are happening in every industry, every day. From manufacturing to automotive to food and beverage, companies are adding capabilities to identify pricing leaks and uncovering profit opportunities in new ways that simply aren't possible working from spreadsheets. And they're maintaining competitive dynamic pricing even through digital channels by incorporating up-to-date market information.
If it takes manufacturers and distributors three weeks to update prices, and commodity prices shift rapidly, then prices aren't reflecting what's going on in the supply chain. And businesses could end up leaking serious profits as a result. But with the right analytical tools and intelligence, businesses can make better decisions across the entire ecommerce pricing process despite ever-changing factors than threaten their business.
Do you struggle with coordinating dynamic pricing across your various customer channels? Is price management complex due to multiple price lists and siloed channel managers? You can't control the weather or other factors that might affect your business, but the technology exists to dynamically calculate every price to reflect real-time conditions.
Today's dynamic pricing technology is delivering new levels of control, enabling leaders to coordinate pricing across customer channels with ease and precision. In fact, these capabilities are becoming the new norm. And businesses that don't keep up will fall behind.

Apparently, at least in Israel,today is National Domestic Abuse Day - a day used to raise awareness about domestic abuse and to remember those who didn't survive it.
Abuse isn't only about getting beaten up. It's also about being so scared that you lie all the time. It's about wishing someone would never come back when they leave the house each day. It's about being repeatedly told that you're worthless, that without your partner you'd have and be nothing. It's about a relationship that's in no way equal. One calls the shots and the other does whatever s/he's told - not out of agreement, but out of fear of not complying. Abuse is those black and blue marks you have on your upper arm from where you were pinched because you said the wrong thing. It's about living in fear. It's abuse when you warn your kids not to go downstairs because you know they'll end up getting beaten no matter what they do, or pretending you're asleep until your partner leaves the house so that you wont have to interact, or getting cable tv so s/he'll leave you alone...
If you recognize any of these signs (or many others that I am sure I failed to mention) - get help and find a way out. Be clever. Abusers hate to lose their abusee. Do things quietly and carefully. Make sure you have the right support. I believe every city has an organization (at least one) to help women who are abused (if you're a man, it may be more difficult). If you are being abused, try first to admit it to yourself, then to someone you trust. And once you make the decision to get out, know you're going to have to follow through with it. And it's hard. Abusers will promise just about anything to get you to stay and if you fall for it again, you'll be falling right back into the cycle of abuse. You're going to need a lot of support. Long term.
I know all this because I was there. I lived this for many years of my life and sometimes I even thought I was happy. I was lucky. I got out and I've been able to mostly get past the emotional scars that years of abuse leave you with. I'm still working on it and it might take the rest of my life.
I was talking to someone just yesterday about why women choose to stay and how I still understand the decision (not that I agree with it, but I understand it). It can be a huge step to be on your own, maybe responsible for small children, often without the resources you were used to. I was lucky in that sense too. I had both a good job and sold my half of the house to my ex.
It's been over 8 years since my divorce. At that time, I thought that even if I lived alone for the rest of my life, it would be better than living in fear. But, as most of you know, I did get remarried and my husband and I have 3 children, in addition to my 3 from my previous marriage. My husband is my best friend and a person I love, respect and trust. I feel truly lucky that he chose me and that he has chosen to be a parent to my older children as well.
If you're being abused, please believe that things can be better, that it's your responsibility to make them better. You only live once.

Made me smile as i, of course, have personal inclinations. On the other hand, i tried to recall of more complex situations (than cupcake) in the organizational context. And i realized that often it can really depend on your postion (e.g., sales, marketing, R&D etc.) and existing internal bonus system. For instance, we had one specific ingredient that sold well in the market for almost a decade. Naturally, the cycle was starting to go down. As a team we had to come up with a new plan, different strategic item on the goods list. Sales reps were extremely combative as this was the item contributing greatly to their salaries, marketing and R&D department were somewhere in the green block, meanwhile top management were somewhat 'purple' – after all there was this team of people employed to do their jobs. Unfortunately, no compromise was reached – the item 'died', some were fired..and hopefully, at least few lessons learnt.
A benefit of my consulting work is that it requires me to learn on a regular basis. As I prepared for an upcoming workshop about organizational conflict I was revisiting some books to refresh my memory. While doing this, I re-encountered a wonderful model about the different ways we respond to interpersonal conflict (Rahim). Five different approaches to conflict are illustrated in this Johari window.
Response 1 – Avoid [low concern for self and low concern for others]
- Avoid the topic or situation causing the conflict.
- Example – An email is sent to your team informing them that there is one gourmet cupcake left in the kitchen. Since several of your team want it, you just avoid the conflict and keep working.
Response 2 – Oblige [low concern for self and high concern for others]
- We give in to what others want when there is conflict.
- Example – You reach for the final cupcake at the same time your colleague does. You graciously withdraw your hand and say 'go ahead, you deserve it'.
Response 3 – Compromise [moderate concern for self and moderate concern for others]
- Find a solution which is acceptable to both parties.
- Example – Instead of giving the final cupcake to your colleague, you suggest that one person cut the cupcake in half and the other person choose their half first.
Response 4 – Dominate [high concern for self and low concern for others]
- Attempt to dominate the conflict through power, coercion or force.
- Example – You tell your colleague that you saw the cupcake first so you deserve it.
Response 5 – Integrate [high concern for self and high concern for others]
- Find solutions which are acceptable to both parties.
- Example – You discuss the problem with your colleague and decide that if you sell the sought after cupcake and split the proceeds, you can each buy a whole cupcake at another store on the way home.
This research also has significant cultural nuances to it. For example, cultures that highly value 'saving face tend to use obliging or even avoidance styles as a means to accomplish this. Rahim's model is a useful way to identify responses to conflict because it is so easy to remember. Specifically, I appreciate how it reminds us that conflict avoidance is usually a lose/lose situation. So how about you – what's your go-to style?

Explore the depth and breadth of an art form intrinsic to cultural expression across centuries and continents. AMPD's Music program offers a remarkably flexible curriculum, allowing students to pursue creative and scholarly work across a wide range of musical genres and traditions, tailored to their unique talents and aspirations.
MUSIC (BFA Honours)
York's Music program is known for pioneering post-secondary studies in jazz, world, classical and digital music. Students may specialize or generalize according to their interests, developing expertise in a particular area of vocal or instrumental performance or composition, or working in a variety of musical practices and cultural forms. Options include solo, small and large ensemble performance; composition and arranging; education and community arts development; ethnomusicology; and the growing field of music media production for cinema, gaming and motion media.
Performance Opportunities – Presenting over 100 concerts each year, as well as master classes with renowned Canadian and international artists, the Music program offers constant opportunities to perform, collaborate, experience and engage.
MUSIC (BA Honours)
All first-year Music students enter the BFA program. After first year, students whose interests centre on music history, criticism and scholarly research may choose to move into the BA program.
Admission to the Music (BFA Honours) program is based both on academic performance and artistic merit. Academic admissibility is assessed by York University, while artistic merit is evaluated by the Department of Music. Therefore, the application to the Music program is a two-step process.
Applications to this program are accepted for Fall (September), Winter (January) and Summer (May) entry.
You may apply to more than one AMPD program; however you must apply separately to each one.
Step 1: Apply to York University
You can apply through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) or York University's Application.
Current York University students interested in transferring to the program should contact the Department of Music directly at firstname.lastname@example.com to apply.
Step 2: Complete the Audition Questionnaire
In addition to applying for admission to York through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) or York University's Application, applicants to the Music program must complete an Audition Questionnaire.
Once you have applied to the program you will receive an email that will include your reference ID and directions for completing the audition questionnaire. This email will be sent approximately 5-10 business days after you submit your application. If you are applying to more than one AMPD program, you must complete a separate Audition/Interview/Portfolio Review for each one.
Music Audition Questionnaire
The questionnaire and audition are intended to help us learn about your academic and artistic background, interests and goals as they relate to our Music program.
A $60 CAD evaluation fee is required to submit your questionnaire. You will then be able to proceed with the audition.
Your music audition will be a 20 minute session where you will play 2 contrasting pieces on your instrument. Students who are auditioning with voice will require an accompanist. Please see the sidebar for a list of recommendations if you do not have your own.
You may be asked to sight-read and your ear training will be briefly evaluated. Be prepared to recognize and name basic intervals, scales, and triads played on the piano by the examiner and/or to sing pitches, intervals, or scales.
You may also be asked to perform additional exercises if the adjudicator requires further information to make a complete assessment of your abilities and potential.
After you have completed this portion of the audition you will be given an hour to complete a theory test. Download sample Theory Evaluation (PDF).

Recent reviews
Very good 8,2 From 418 reviews
The hotel is in excellent location , great staff , very nice and friendly . Great spacious room but no view . 3 minutes walk to the big shopping center ( Selfridges) , the club room was amazing with great variety.
Excellent hotel top notch room and cocktail lounge. Also great Gordon Ramsay bar and grill located in the hotel. Would recommend.
For the caliber of hotel this place claims to be, the rooms should be inspected daily! One of the mattresses was old, broken and hard. I almost rolled off the side of the bed and knocked myself out on the nightstand. When I preceded to personally go downstairs (my roommate was already asleep) to let front desk know, they advised they could send engineering up to flip the mattress! At 1am! Really?! Or add points to a Marriott account I was never going to use. I ended up sharing my roommates bed. We had an early 5:30a start next day to catch flight home. The situation was unacceptable. We ended up calling manager to come up the next morning to check mattress out. He apologized and offered a minimal sum to be credited back. The damage had been done by this point.
Just excellent
Amazing hotel, great location.

Best Shot Monday: Meet Raisin
How about a Best Shot Monday on a Wednesday? It's summer time! Nothing is on schedule! I spent yesterday afternoon at the shelter in Tallahassee hanging out with sweet pups like Raisin. This little gal is so much fun. She runs, runs, run, and then just stops right next to you ... and I mean right next to you. The only way I was able to get a good photo of her for the website was with her looking directly up at me like this. But I love the shot!
Raisin is available for adoption at the City of Tallahassee Animal Service Center. Adopt, don't shop! There are thousands of wonderful pets waiting on you in your local animal shelters. And they truly know they are rescued...and they often rescue you in the process.

Showtime premieres the limited series revival of Twin Peaks in less than a month, and so far what we know about it can be summed up with the fact that, well, it's a limited series revival of Twin Peaks on Showtime. There's been no on-set photos releases, no plot summary, and certainly not a traditional trailer. Playing to the mystery inherent in the show, Twin Peaks and creator David Lynch are playing up the hype instead of giving us much new material.
In lieu of a regular teaser trailer, the Twin Peaks YouTube channel has been releasing some trailers that make use of footage from the original series and its movie prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
The latest released this weekend, titled "The Darkness of Future Past," is a succinct summation of the Twin Peaks story so far, beginning with the discovery of Laura Palmer's body and including some of the show's more infamous supernatural scenes (of course, if you're playing catch up with the original show, there's some mild spoilers).
Yet, if you watch it until the very end there's definitely something we haven't seen before.
Related: Laura Dern and Naomi Watts Open Up About David Lynch, And Tease Twin Peaks
Yes, folks, that eerie atmosphere tracking shot of a forrest appears to be totally new. Who knows if it will actually appear in the new season or if it was just shot to accompany these videos, but whatever the case it's definitely the first new Twin Peaks-related footage the world has seen in 25 years. Sure, "Confirmed: Creepy Vibe and Trees to Return For Twink Peaks Revival" isn't much of a scoop, but it does underline how little we know.
The only other major information we have is that most of the original cast will be returning (though, it still hasn't been confirmed that all of them will even be playing their original characters), and a good chunk of new actors will be brought into the universe.
That list includes everyone from frequent Lynch collaborator Laura Dern to Ivy George, the young actress who just played Dern's daughter on Big Little Lies. Michael Cera, Sky Ferreira, Amanda Seyfried, Naomi Watts and Balthazar Getty are also among the new comers.

We love this... what do you think?
I absolutely love this! My cousin got married in a gorgeous white lace dress and teamed it with Tiffany blue heels. Looked stunning! I really like the idea of incorporating this into the bridal party. The photos would be gorgeous :)
Really nice post.First i like pink hells is the best looking in white dresses.
For the ideal bridesmaid dresses check out Myriad 6 convertible dresses. One dress you can wear in so many different ways and all your bridesmaids can find a style that best suits their shape and size. What's better is that the bridesmaids can wear their dresses again and not shove them a t the back of the wardrobe never to be seen again.
Heres one of the many designs http://www.myriad6.com/the-myriad-6-plain-long-77-p.asp
I love this http://www.myriad6.com/the-lace-trim-short-81-p.asp
firstly I like the bridal dress ups that you have shown in your blog. But I strongly recommend that wearing multicolored shoes on white and silver apparels can only become a successful idea if a bride is going flowers in her hand and the flowers should also be in the same color as that of shoe.
Angelina Clarke from Silver High Heels .
Somehow I agree with Angelina Clarke that the flowers should also be in the same with the shoes of the bridesmaids but all in all, this idea is very amazing and oh so colorful! Such a festive wedding. www.groomsday.com
Amazing photo. Awesome bridal shoes, wedding dresses and flower bouquets. I like this ideas to get a wedding photographer is take this photos.

There is one project that lands on this mama's lap each and every Valentine's Day without fail…It's the classroom Valentine box of course! Every teacher has her own spin it, but they always want something for the kiddos to store their classroom Valentines in. Now can I go to town and tackle a craft? Sure. Do I have loads of extra time to DIY it up? Not always. So, when I am time crunched I rely on sort of homemade ideas. Did you know, for instance, that places like Target and Michaels have ready-made Valentine boxes? If you've ever tried to fashion a mailbox out of a cardboard, you know how clutch this is. These boxes come with the slot on top ready to go. No box cutters required!
You may remember the Michaels Valentine box that I snagged and decorated last year. I simply added festive heart and flower stickers to decorate it. My daughter loved it and I loved just how little time it took to make. Well, this year is no different. I found my ready-made Valentine box at Target this year and picked up another fun box of Valentine's Day ready stickers to adorn it with. I really can't stress how much time this will save you. You can even let you child get in on the fun and decorate it herself. Anyone can put stickers on a box! It's a perfect project for time challenged mamas and pre-schoolers alike!

Parliament will probably rise for the summer tomorrow, and not a moment too soon. There's never a prorogation around when you need one.
The three-month spring sitting of the House has been nasty and brutish, but not short enough.
Ottawa has always been disconnected from the reality of the country; there's a fevered pitch about the place and a symbiotic relationship between politicians and the media that connects them in a quest for scandal rather than shedding light on important questions of public policy.
But seldom have the parliamentary antics of Ottawa been so irrelevant to the concerns of the country as in the current session, which is why the Conservative government's poll numbers are stuck in the low-to mid-30s, while the Liberals are mired in the mid-to high-20s. Only two parties have any prospect of forming a government out of this minority House, and neither one of them is getting any traction.
The Tories have themselves entirely to blame for two unforced errors -proroguing in January with only a one-word message, "recalibrating," to argue in favour of shutting down the House. They got killed in the daily news cycle for two months as a result.
Similarly, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced women's and children's health in the developing world as Canada's signature initiative at this month's G8, it was only a single paragraph in a major address to the Davos conference, without any communications plan to support it. The Conservatives were completely blindsided by the inevitable pushback on birth control and therapeutic abortions, although Michael Ignatieff overplayed his hand when the pro-life faction of his own caucus ensured the defeat, quite predictably, of a Liberal motion to ensure funding for abortion procedures outside Canada.
That was only one of many embarrassments to Ignatieff, including his inane suggestion that Michaelle Jean's term as governor-general be extended, which killed any chance of that happening.
A series of policy flips by the Liberal leader, from refugee determination reform to the Quebec health care head tax, have left Liberals cringing with embarrassment. Jean Chretien promoting the idea of a coalition with the New Democratic Party wasn't a great day at the opposition leader's office, either. But Iggy's summer bus tour will be one more opportunity, perhaps his last, for him to connect with voters before an election.
As for the temper of the House and its committees, it ranges from dysfunctional to toxic. Question period has become unenlightening and irrelevant. It once was required viewing in offices in Ottawa, but now few ask, "What happened in QP?"
It is a very fortunate country, blessed with peace and prosperity, where the compelling issues of the day are the minor melodrama of Rahim Jaffer and Helena Guergis or the cost of the fake lake media backdrop at the G20 summit in Toronto.
Mind you, the fake lake story illustrates the haplessness of the opposition and the incompetence of the Tories on communications. Does anyone care that the world's leaders are coming to Muskoka and Toronto to discuss economic recovery, exit plans from stimulus, reducing global deficits, and the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and Japan, which could soon be coming to America? These are issues which, if not properly coordinated, could lead to a double-dip recession, which would actually get the public's attention.
But as at the end of most sessions, there are a couple of redeeming moments, driven by the clock. Two important files moved yesterday because time was running down to the summer recess.
One is the Afghan detainee file, and the opposition having access to the paper trail in a way that ensures Parliament's rights without violating national security. Prodded by the Speaker's ruling, the Conservatives, Liberals and the Bloc Quebecois agreed to a process yesterday where designated members from each party could see documents authorized by a panel of jurists. For reasons known only to itself, the NDP balked, saying it wanted free access to all papers, and refusing to submit to security clearance. While short of all-party agreement, there's a strong consensus.
The second is the question of auditing Parliament's spending, not to be confused with MPs' expenses. Auditor-general Sheila Fraser will do a performance audit on the institution of Parliament and its $500-million budget, but not on MPs and their office expenses. A very neat Canadian compromise.
As Fraser said yesterday: "Nor will we comment on the performance of the House, its committees, or individual members. We are not going to mention individual cases."
Well, since you put it that way, Sheila, come on in.

I know I am not inside your head :) and I was, until now, observing your conversation from the outside, but I am not sure I see that you are being found guilty. I don't see that you are being punished. But I certainly understand that stuff like this can feel that way. Is there something going on outside of Babble that I am not aware of? Can you say a little more about it? (Sorry, I think my T hat jumped onto my head for a minute there! )
Take care,

On this Saturday, would you be so kind as to join me in honoring our Blessed Mother, using the words the Church has prescribed in the Breviary, Morning Prayer.
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving O sweet Virgin Mary.
Thank you and don't forget to offer little acts of love to our Blessed Mother on her special day.
as we honor the memory of the Virgin Mary, we ask that by the help of her prayers we too may come to share the fullness of Your grace.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Breviary Morning Prayer

When you set up your mortgage payment repayment plan, you can choose between a standard repayment plan or a bi-weekly repayment plan. With the standard plan, it would take you 30 years to repay the loan while a fortnightly plan will take 25 years and seven months. This will save you four years and five months… but the savings doesn't end there.
If you took out a $250,000.00 loan with an interest rate of five percent, you could expect to pay $1,334.23 per month, while a fortnightly payment plan would call for a payment of $667.11 every other week. As a result, you would pay only $192,341.26 in interest with the fortnightly schedule rather than $230,321.61 with the standard payment plan. This means you could save a total of $37,980.35 with the fortnightly plan.

Personal Injury Settlement Consulting
Let our attorneys handle the following:
A personal injury attorney will often need a qualified fiduciary to file suit. Whether your client is incapacitated and in need of a guardian and conservator for a personal injury action, or whether you need a personal representative to bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of an estate, Hook Law Center can assist with getting the necessary fiduciaries appointed and qualified.
If your client receives means-tested public benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Medicaid, it is important that you understand the affect of a settlement or award. We often assist clients and their attorneys in developing strategies to protect public benefit eligibility. By utilizing various tools such as a settlement protection trust, special needs trust or a comprehensive Medicaid spend down, we can work to maximize the results of litigation.
If your client needs assistance maintaining health insurance under COBRA or obtaining health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, we can explain the rules and help with the applications.
Clients, regardless of age, often have a need to protect their settlement or award against mismanagement. Whether the client is a spendthrift or a minor who is unable to effectively manage their own assets, or a client who would just prefer professional management of funds, we can utilize various trusts to preserve funds until such time that it would be appropriate for the beneficiary to manage his or her own assets.
Personal injury victims must often wait a considerable about of time before receiving their settlement or award. In some cases, a significant injury may result in additional care needs that can create a financial hardship. We work with clients and attorneys to assess what options may be available to assist in easing this hardship.
If your client currently receives or has a "reasonable expectation" of receiving Medicare, the client may have a duty to take Medicare's future interest into account. As a result, your client may have an obligation to set aside some of the settlement or award funds to pay future medical expenses related to the injury. We assist attorneys and their clients in assessing whether a Medicare Set Aside is necessary, calculating the amount to be set aside, and options for administering the Medicare Set Aside.
A qualified settlement fund allows the parties to resolve litigation while final issues, such as lien resolution or payment of claims, are settled. By placing settlement funds in a qualified settlement fund, the plaintiff may evaluate settlement options outside of the pressures associated with litigation.
A significant settlement or award may complicate the recipient's estate plan. We can work with the client to develop a plan to meet the client's long-term estate planning goals.
Although personal injury settlements and awards are income tax free, compensation for loss of income or injury to property may be taxable income. We can help explain the rules, plan for the minimization of the tax burden, and prepare the necessary returns. As a result of a large settlement or award, your client may wish to consider estate & gift tax planning. We can help with this planning and the preparation of necessary documents.
To learn more about developing a trusted partnership, call the Hook Law Center today.

Of all the major college programs to find their football coaching position turned into a revolving door, Florida State is the last one you would expect.
The Seminoles finally reeled in Willie Taggart on Tuesday, completing their first full-scale coach search since Bobby Bowden came aboard in January of 1976. I know that sounds like a long time ago but you really want to know how long?
Bobby's first FSU salary was $37,500 a year.
Jimbo Fisher, of course, was designated as the head-coach-in-waiting while serving on Bobby's staff, making for an automatic transition in 2010 without a messy search. Now he's gone to Texas A&M, calling the decision "a no-brainer."
No wonder Bobby is so adored in Tallahassee, with a stained-glass image at the stadium and a statue out front. He built a lasting connection to FSU, one that couldn't be severed despite many tempting offers to coach elsewhere.
In 1990 Alabama made an offer to Bowden but, after a few days of chewing on it, he declined.
"By that time, I felt like FSU was my school," Bowden said in his book "Called to Coach: Reflections on Life, Faith and Football."
"No matter what I could have done as Alabama's coach, it still would have been Coach (Bear) Bryant's program. I could never have topped his accomplishment there."
There's a strong element of loyalty in there, but a bit of anxiety and humility, too. Other coaches positively burn with ambition, believing themselves capable of accomplishing anything, anywhere. Nick Saban, for instance, wasn't afraid to take on the Bear's legacy at Alabama. Jimbo didn't shy away from following Bobby at FSU, either.
In his book Bobby also says he passed on offers from LSU and Auburn and the NFL's Atlanta Falcons through the years. He formally interviewed at Alabama in 1987, too, and was disappointed not to get an offer that time. Probably would have gone if he did.
There is no good way and no good time for a coach to leave one school for another, at least in the eyes of his former employer. Now Taggart is getting ripped at Oregon, where he coached for one season after upgrading from South Florida. If he ever left FSU for another job, we'd have a true gypsy, a modern-day Lou Saban, on our hands.
I'm thinking in all of this there will be a new wave of nostalgia for good ol' Bobby.
Nobody cares now about the reasons that he stayed at FSU for 34 years, or about the close calls that almost took him away.
All that matters is that he stayed, and he never made it seem like some kind of sacrifice on his part.
In today's climate, that is at once wonderful and weird.

I just wanted to play with OnTime, and figured I could install SQL Server 2008 Express as a database and be off and running quickly. Hah!
First attempt: download SQL Server 2008 Express from Microsoft.
The installation wizard starts and eventually gets through its prerequisite checking to get to the point where it has installed something, but I don't know what. I'm lost in a maze of twisty wizards, all alike. The Express front end is the same as the full cluster-fail-over installer. The express front end is way way too comples.
Ok – uninstall 10 pieces of software and try the simpler approach.
Web Platform Installer apparently scripts the Express installer to get a default instance up and running with minimal fuss. Just what I need. Too bad it doesn't work. It looks like I'm in good company.
I'm installing on a simple WinXP box – but the WebPI shell says the SQL Express install failed. Event log says
FCB::Open failed: Could not open file e:\sql10_main_t\sql\mkmastr\databases\objfre\i386\MSDBData.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 3(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 1815).
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 1814 (0×716).
Where the hell is E:\ coming from? I have nothing there.
I'm going to try uninstalling SQL Server again and trying WebPI again – maybe something got installed that it needed without realizing it…
Frakking black magic MSI.
All I want to do is play with OnTime

Last year we posted a blog entry on the advantages of having a Canadian Dedicated Server. Since it was very popular, we decided to revisit the subject and go into more details. The introduction of new media has helped people to share their stories and democratize knowledge. It has also benefited young entrepreneurs from all around the world to start new internet-related ventures. The Internet is still growing, especially in emerging countries, and, more and more dedicated servers are added to the global pool.
When it is time to host those ventures, the physical location of the datacenter is a crucial factor when choosing a hosting provider. While you can find cloud hosting and dedicated servers in almost any country, some key factors must be considered. Criteria such as the physical proximity to end users, political stability, privacy policies, socioeconomic factors in the origin country, weather, power source for more environmentally conscious users, quality of the work force, and proximity to internet backbones are all important.
1) Weather and Power Production
Climatic conditions are very important when considering the physical location of your cloud or dedicated server provider. Since certain regions are more prone to natural disasters (hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, flooding, etc.), it is very important to consider the geographic location of your online host. Canada is a vast and Nordic country with massive natural resources and relatively stable weather patterns. Winter accounts for more than 6 months out of the year, reducing the cost of cooling the datacenter.
Thanks to a booming hydro-electric industry, Canadian datacenters enjoy relatively low costs when purchasing electricity. Hydro-electricity is also considered to be eco-friendly and a renewable source of power. Canada's power infrastructure is globally well regarded as one of the most stable and reliable.
2) Near proximity to the US mainland and only a few hops from major European cities
75% of the Canadian population lives within 161 kilometers of the US border, and most Canadian datacenters are building in major cities such as Montreal and Toronto. This proximity makes for great connectivity to the US mainland while not being subject to the same privacy laws as US datacenters. As for those privacy laws, we'll have more to say about them later in this post.
Canada's strong Internet backbone, powered by premium bandwidth providers, results in fewer hops to end-users while maintaining low ping responses. Datacenters located in a city like Montreal also have good connectivity to European servers and end-users. Canadian dedicated Servers and Cloud hosting providers have a very favorable advantage for North American and European end-users
3) Political stability and Privacy
Canada has enjoyed political stability for decades. This stability has fostered a global confidence in our policies with regards to internet content, banking and fiscal responsibility, as well as a strong commitment to human rights. Canada has enjoyed a reputation of compassion, respect and global responsibility as members of the United Nations, North American Free Trade Agreement, UNESCO, and the World Health Organization to name but a few. With a very strict emphasis on privacy, clients hosted in Canadian Datacenters are not regulated by foreign government.
Also, we are not currently aware of active monitoring of Canadian datacenters by foreign governments. Laws in the US and European countries are becoming more hostile toward encryption, data privacy, and freedom to participate unencumbered in the democratization of knowledge as discussed earlier. As foreign governments crack down on the techniques and philosophies that were and remain integral to the Internet's success, the best defense is to host servers in countries free of such restrictions.
4) Qualified workers
The Canadian IT sector is regarded as one of the best in the world. Some cities like Montreal also have bilingual (French and English) support staff, and Canadians are reputed to be one of the most friendly and helpful people.
5) Canadian data centers for Canadian customers
It is important to note that some end-users will also like the fact that a Canadian company is hosting in a Canadian datacenter. Search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing grant Canadian companies better rankings in the SERP (Search Engine Results Page) with a Canadian web presence. This gives Canadian companies a great advantage over their competitors.
