New cuts for the current budget year could be announced as soon as Aug. 31, according to Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert.
"You can't wait until fall," Lambert said at a July 26, 2010 noontime brown-bag meeting in the Quiet Dining Room of the Pagoda Union Building. The session was also Web-cast live using Elluminate, although it was not recorded.
The need and sense of urgency for cuts beyond those already made for the current budget came in a July 15, e-mail message from the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges. The message said that as state economic indicators continue to fall, expect an additional 4 percent reduction request from Gov. Chris Gregoire and advised colleges to plan for and make cuts as soon as possible.
At the standing-room only meeting, Lambert outlined the factors that would come into play in making reductions that are estimated to be between $800,000 and $1 million for Shoreline.
"About 85 percent of our budget is in benefits and salaries. With all the cuts we've made in recent years, a reduction of that magnitude has to involve people," he said. However, contract language for faculty requires a 60-day notice for reductions in force and the classified contract has similar language. "Even if we start now, it will be two to three months before reductions would take effect," he said. Any delay just means more cuts would be required to reach the same goal.
Administrative-exempt contracts generally allow quicker separation, but also include two-month payouts, he said. Lambert said he expects to announce some personnel reductions for administrative-exempt employees by Aug. 31, followed by classified employees and then faculty.
Lambert said strategies for budget cuts would likely come in these general areas, including:
"This isn't new stuff, it's what we have been doing," Lambert said, adding he's not a fan of furloughs.
"You'd have to consider a furlough as a permanent salary reduction," he said. Lambert added that a college-initiated furlough strategy wouldn't preclude the state from ordering more.
Among the questions raised at the meeting were:
Q- What about reducing the number of students served (FTEs)?
A- At this point, we're not talking about a reduction in FTEs, although that may become a de facto reduction with not enough funding to serve the state-allocated number.
Q – How does the Five-Star Consortium and the state efficiencies bill figure into all this?
A – Discussions on both could occur this week in Tacoma where the presidents will be meeting Wednesday-Friday. Lambert said he's concerned effects on expenses and revenues under both efforts won't come fast enough to impact the current problem.
Q- The last time we had cuts, there was a plan. Couldn't we just go back to that and make the next round?
A – Yes. While the hiring freeze changed the planning approach this last year, Lambert said the information and strategies discussed would provide a starting point for this round.
Q - Will departments and divisions get reduction target numbers from the administration?
A - "That may not work this time, we may have to take whole things offline," he said, adding that specific cut targets may work in some areas.
Q – How does this immediate cut fit in with the work the Strategic Planning and Budget Committee is doing this summer and planning for the next biennium?
A - Lambert said the biennium planning work would continue, but now will have to consider any reductions that come from the current-year cuts now being contemplated.
Q - How about just calling for retirements?
A - Lambert said that could happen after discussions with union leaders.
Q – So, what's the solution?
A – Lambert said that after attending Gov. Gregoire's open meeting on the budget, he feels that it will take system-level changes to adequately address the issues facing the state now, for the next biennium and then the following two-year cycle. "The Governor said she's expecting a $3 billion problem for the next two years and $9 billion after that," Lambert said. "We're probably not going to get help with what we're facing."
Q – Will Shoreline close?
A - Lambert said Shoreline has many valuable components. "I believe the state will be served best with 34 locations, but they make look different than they do now," he said.
Biting the hand
While facing continued budget reductions, the latest figures from the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges show demand is up in a number of areas, including:
The final 2009-10 annualized state FTES is 159,939, 9% higher than the previous academic year.
From an allocation stand-point, which includes university contracts and the University Center of North Puget Sound (UCNPS), the CTC system finished the year 16% over enrolled (roughly 21,500 FTES over the budgeted target).
Pre-College and Academic courses grew the most during the academic year by 14% and 11% respectfully.
Workforce enrollments grew by 9% while Basic Skills decreased by 3%.
Worker Retraining enrollments (11,011 FTE for Spring) remained at the same level as those generated during Winter quarter. The system produced slightly over 13,000 annualized FTES as was expected.
eLearning FTES continue to grow and are 34% higher than last spring at 27,874 state FTE and contributing to the year-end total of 30,587 FTES.The latest economic news out of Olympia has Shoreline Community College officials thinking about how to make immediate budget reductions.
Biting the hand
While facing continued budget reductions, the latest figures from the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges show demand is up in a number of areas, including:
"The state's economic forecast isn't good," said Shoreline President Lee Lambert. "We're being advised by staff at the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges to reduce expenditures now."
According to this month's report from the state Economic and Revenue Forecast Council, June revenue to the state was 7.7 percent ($91 million) below the forecast, a target that had already been lowered $200 million from the February forecast. The Council report says the U.S. economy is at greater risk of stalling and that Washington's "near-term economic outlook is weaker than anticipated in June."
Budget advice to the state's 34 community and technical colleges came in a July 15, 2010, message from Chris Reykdal, deputy executive director - finance, for the State Board.
"I feel like a broken record here, but please plan accordingly," Reykdal wrote. "Reducing your spending trajectories immediately will mitigate, in part, some of the cuts that are likely coming. In other words, spread this cut over 11 months by taking action now.
"Waiting until it is official will only leave you with less and less time to make reductions for the current year."
Lambert said it is instructive that the state system is now advising the approach Shoreline has taken for the past two years. "We've been proactive when and where we could be and it has helped to some degree," Lambert said. "We'll continue to do that, but now everyone is being told to do it."
Shoreline's Board of Trustees Chairman Jerry Smith said the situation requires action. "I believe the College must react quickly to these economic realities," Smith said. "If we are to continue to serve students and the state, facing these facts sooner rather than later is advisable."
While the economic trend is gloomy, of more immediate concern is word from the state Office of Financial Management that there is room under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to cut another 4 percent from overall higher-education funding for the current fiscal year.
The ARRA, sometimes called the stimulus package, required maintenance-of-effort equal to 2006 funding levels. In his memo, Reykdal said the State Board was recently notified that state budget officials reviewed the language and believe the level could be $48 million to $50 million lower.
"Of that amount, about half could fall to the community and technical colleges," Lambert said.
And that number gives Shoreline a potential budget-reduction target, said Vice President for Administrative Services Daryl Campbell. "Assuming the same formula used in recent cuts, Shoreline would be looking at cutting $800,000 to $1 million, this year," he said.
Just how cuts of that magnitude could be made, given the short timeline and two-years worth of previous reductions, hasn't been decided, Lambert said.
"However, go back to the list of reduction strategies that we've already considered," Lambert said. "A plan could include holding positions open and using lapsed salaries, furloughs could be back on the table, much tighter spending controls and then reducing the number of employees and moving employees off state funding support."
It won't be just higher education in the budget cross-hairs.
"We are hearing that the most likely approach to addressing the potential current year shortfall is across-the-board cuts ordered by the Governor," said the State Board's Reykdall. "The other option is a second special session for 2010, but there is little appetite for that among legislative leaders. There are too many unknowns at this point to accurately predict the level of cuts, or our system's share of those cuts, but a cut of at least 4 percent seems increasingly likely."
The Shoreline Community College Automotive Program has made a name for itself with students coming from all over the country to enroll; actually, they come from all over the world. This year marks year four for students from Ajou Motor College, located in Boryeong, South Korea, to spend time at Shoreline.
"Hosting is just one example of Shoreline's commitment to internationalizing our institution," Thalia Saplad, Executive Director of International Programs.
On July 2, 16 students (all male, but one) traveled more than 5,000 miles to Shoreline to complete a custom program designed specifically for them by International Programs and the Automotive Program. The
"It's really inspiring to see the energy these students bring; the excitement about being here and experiencing not only something new in the automotive field, but having the opportunity to learn more about SCC as well as American culture. And in the process, it provides a learning opportunity for our campus as well." Pollie McCloskey, Assistant Director of International Education, International Programstwo-week program provides instruction on the history of electronic scan tool diagnostics, hands-on application on live vehicles, electronic fuel injection and an overview of industry career pathways.
"It's really inspiring to see the energy these students bring; the excitement about being here and experiencing not only something new in the automotive field, but having the opportunity to learn more about SCC as well as American culture. And in the process, it provides a learning opportunity for our campus as well." Pollie McCloskey, Assistant Director of International Education, International Programs
Honda PACT instructor and Interim Director of Automotive, Bob Biesiedzinski taught the automotive classes. "The students really enjoyed the classes. At home they are studying car design and car modeling," Biesiedzinski said. "Here they are doing something completely different."
The students also had the opportunity to increase their English skills in conversational classes led by ESL instructor, Daina Smuidrins as well as interact with different groups across campus, including students in the GST Program, Japan Hospitality and Tourism College and ESL students.
Ajou Motor College Director of International Affairs and Automotive Professor Myoung-Seok Jie said that he thinks the experience motivated the South Korean students. "I think they begin to dream," he said Friday morning before boarding the bus to head for the airport.
During their stay in northwest Washington, the visitors enjoyed trips to Tillicum Village, the LeMay Car Museum, Paccar Kenworth plant, Boeing, the Museum of Flight and a walking tour around Seattle.
SCC hosted a Farewell and Recognition Lunch on Thursday, July 15th to mark the successful completion of the program. Vice President Tonya Drake gave remarks and Executive Director, International Programs Thalia Saplad welcomed the students at a luncheon held in the showroom of the Automotive Training Center on Thursday. Vice President John Backes and Dean Susan Hoyne presented the students with certificates of completion. Two of the students shared some of their highlights from their experience and graciously thanked everyone at SCC who helped make their time hear a wonderful learning experience.
Prof. Jie said that many of the students wanted to return to Shoreline Community College to study. Jeonga (Judy) Lee, the one female student in the group said that she is going to tell her boyfriend (who is also a student at Ajou) that he HAS to come next year. "I never had the chance to touch a car before, the car design student said. "I got so much new knowledge and experience." Lee is one of only three females in the program.
The college's association with Ajou began in 2006 when the institutions signed a Memorandum of Understanding to support educational exchanges, with the first exchange occurring in the summer of 2007 when 19 students came to Shoreline. In 2008, 15 students from SCC's automotive program participated in a similar training program at Ajou.

Shoreline Community College will be the site of two family-friendly, science-oriented events this summer.
7th Annual SolarFest
On Saturday, July 17, Shoreline Community College hosts the 7th annual SolarFest. The fair includes a variety of exhibitors, a KidZone featuring hands-on creative activities, live music, a beer garden, Taste of Shoreline (with Southern, Asian, and Midwestern cuisines), speakers and elected officials, a film festival, and a Transportation Zone highlighting alternative fuel vehicles and electric cars.
SolarFest runs from 10 a.m. through 8 p.m. in Shoreline's West Parking lot. Admission is free; parking is $2.00 (walking, biking, and public transportation are encouraged).
SolarFest began in 2004 in celebration of the first solar installation at a Shoreline public school, and to raise public awareness regarding our use of resources. The fair showcases organizations and businesses which feature conservation and sustainability in their business practices. SolarFest is the longest running event of its kind in the Puget Sound region.
SolarFest Opening Night with Keynote Speaker Marcelo da Luz will take place at 7 p.m., Friday, July 16, in the Shoreline Community College Theater. Da Luz's presentation is entitled Solar Goes a Long Way: The Power of One Solar Car Project. In 1999, da Luz dreamed of creating a solar car that would set world distance records. In the process of building his solar car, supporters from 24 countries joined the project and, since then, he and his team continue to break world records (including travelling 22,000 miles through America and Canada on solar power). In addition to the keynote presentation, SolarFest Opening Night includes a silent auction benefit, appetizers, and a no-host bar.
More information about SolarFest can be found at www.shorelinesolar.org.
2010 Camps for Curious Minds
Shoreline Community College will also be one of five locations for a variety of Pacific Science Center summer camps for kids. The camps at Shoreline will offer kids in grades 1 through 6 exciting, hands-on science activities in a beautiful setting. The one-week camps run from July 19 through August 20, and feature such topics as Big Bad Bugs, Amusement Park Science, Claymation Creations, Get Set to be a Vet, Spy Science, Splash Science, and Smartest Artists. For more information, including how to register, download the Summer Camp brochure.

In fact, the New York Daily News reported that "some 90%" would be part-time, indicating approximately 200 full-time jobs, and the New York Post reported 200 full-time jobs.
Actually, according to a presentation prepared by Forest City Ratner and delivered tonight to a committee of Community Board 6, the company estimates only 105 full-time jobs, plus 1901 part-time jobs.
Even if the numbers are approximate, that's a dramatic difference.
Some of the CB members were cordially inquisitive during the lightly attended meeting, given the board's experience with promises from Ikea. But nobody brought up the discrepancy between the numbers in the presentation and the numbers mentioned last week.
Bruce Ratner said at the press conference: "About 90 percent, up to 1800, 1900 are part-time" jobs, with schedules "up to 30 hours a week," and "the remainder, 150 to 200, are full-time." He didn't say 105.
Beginning of a process
The main goal of the meeting, with a presentation led by FCR's approachable Ashley Cotton, was to explain how the job recruitment process will work, involving outreach, job fairs, and interviews. Similar meetings will be held this week at other community boards in the area around the arena, as the hiring will focus in the areas of CBs 2, 3, 6, and 8.
The meeting tonight was held at the Prospect Park Residence. On Tuesday, a similar presentation will be made before a Community Board 2 committee, at Long Island University, Library Learning Center Room 515, DeKalb and Hudson Avenues, at 6 pm.
Cotton, a former Bloomberg administration aide, is the successor to Bruce Bender, the wily political operative who helped steer the project over several shoals but ran into rough waters. He was wiretapped during a profane attempt to get state Sen. Carl Kruger, since convicted of taking bribes, to direct money to Atlantic Yards, and left the company shortly before he testified in a federal corruption trial regarding the developer's unseemly, though not illegal, decision to hire Yonkers fixer Zehy Jereis for a no-show job after he helped get Council Member Sandy Annabi to change her vote.
Drilling down
Forest City Ratner Companies and its Brooklyn Events Center subsidiary would have a tiny fraction of the jobs. Some 1000 part-timers would be hired by AEG, in charge of arena operations, and 900 hired by Levy Restaurants, in charge of food service.
None of the part-time positions would come with vacation benefits or health benefits, though they could come with other benefits to be negotiated after a union is formed.
Based on comments at the press confrerence last week, the salaries are expected to be above living wage--$11.50 without benefits--though, as noted by Patch, this project would not be included in any living wage legislation.
However, officials from Forest City, Levy, and AEG were not ready to make any estimates beyond "above minimum wage" and "competitive" to venues like Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium, saying it would be subject to collective bargaining, since employees are expected to be unionized.
P/T = 24 hours per week?
The maximum number of workers at any one time is likely to be about 800, while smaller events could have only 500 workers.
If the total number of jobs is equivalent to 1,240 full-time equivalent jobs, as stated last week, then that means a total of 49,600 hours a week and 2,579,200 hours for the year.
Let's subtract the full-time jobs: 105 x 40 x 52, or 210,000 annually. That leaves 2,360,800 hours to be divided among the 1901 part-time employees over 52 weeks. That suggests a total of 45,400 hours per week, or 23.9 hours per person.
Forest City will report quarterly, on its website, on its hiring, in terms of local hiring and hiring from housing projects. However, the developer has never hired the Independent Compliance Monitor promised as part of the Community Benefits Agreement.
Leading off
After the introductions of the various staffers present, Cotton talked about the MWBE (minority and women's business enterprises) contract, with 16.3% MBE and 6.3% WBE. That was not segmented into New York City or Brooklyn firms.
In the week ending April 15, of the total construction workforce of 836, 442 were New York City residents, of which 186 were Brooklyn residents.
How does that break down into FTE (full-time equivalent)? Cotton didn't have details. As I wrote in January, the total number of FTE jobs is probably some 25% lower.
The hiring process will go through the Small Business Services' Workforce1 hiring program, as well through the New York City Housing Authority, and with the participation of Community Benefits Agreement partner Brooklyn United for Innovative Local Development (BUILD).
There's a five-stage process:
- jobs will be posted online at BarclaysCenter.com (though the bulk of the jobs aren't posted yet)
- jobs fairs will be open to the public
- written applications
- interviews
- employment offers continent on background check and drug test.
Board member Pauline Blake asked about outreach plans. That, responded Cotton, was what they were beginning today. Job fairs will be held mostly in July, and candidates should expect to stay for a while, and should come in job-appropriate apparel.
More questions
Would people with criminal records be hired?
"We weigh each case separately," said AEG's David Anderson, who noted that the firm does background checks.
Will alcoholic beverages be served with "free pours" or "measured pours," asked board member Lou Sones, who runs The Brazen Head.
"Always a metered pour," responded Julie Margolin of Levy Restaurants. "[Free pouring] is a terminable offense."
Will the job recruiters reach out to housing projects like the Red Hook Houses, which was not among the specific mentioned New York City Housing Authority developments, including the Gowanus Houses and the Ingersoll and Whitman Houses?
"The list was determined through the CBA [Community Benefits Agreement]," responded Cotton, who noted that there's a preference for not just residents of the local Community Boards but for public housing residents as well as Brooklynites.
Followed up Bashner, "The Community Board wasn't a party to the CBA. We're looking at it independently." He encouraged Forest City to extend outreach to the Red Hook Houses, which are part of CB6.
Cotton said she'd take back the questions and suggestions from the meeting and build on them as the process continues.

The Emery County Commission discussed the vacancy in the clerk/auditor's office at the regular commission meeting. Commissioner Ira Hatch said, "We have had some lengthy discussions the last two-three weeks relative to the election process and the Clerk resigning. We received a letter last night relative to that. We need to move forward with the operation of the office. We don't know yet if it is just for the interim or to fill the unexpired term.
"The issue has been beat to death, but we received a letter that Bruce Funk would like to discuss the matter further with the commission.
"Due to the nature of the situation, we need to move forward with the operation of the clerk/auditors office. We have worked out an agreement with deputy clerk/auditor Brenda Dugmore for the transition period. We still need to work out the details on that," said Hatch
Commissioner Hatch said they need legal counsel on the proper procedure to follow, on the course of action that is legal and lawful, so it will stand-up in court.
The county is working out an agreement with Dugmore to assume the responsibilities of the clerk/auditor, because the office needs to keep running. Two signatures are needed on the checks for disbursements and this must be taken care of immediately. Commissioner Hatch pointed out the county is also behind on preparing for the election in June and they need to get the election up and running and move forward with the June and November elections.
Dugmore will assume duties and the commission will come back as necessary for any official act.
Attorney David Blackwell said the process to officially fill the resigned clerk's office has been started. This will start with the Republican party.
The county needs someone in the clerk's office and legally someone can be appointed to assume and fulfill duties until the position is officially filled.
Dugmore can be appointed as a temporary acting clerk/auditor pending an official appointment by the commission of a person to serve for the balance of the resigned clerk/auditors term of office.
Commissioner Hatch said they have been in contact with Diebold and the county is working out an agreement to bring them back to the county to recertify the machines. "We will use the Diebold machines in the election," said Commissioner Hatch.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said a Diebold representative will be present on election day to help out with questions and operations of the new machines.
As Clerk Funk was from the Republican party that party will submit three names to the commission for the approval of one name to fill the clerk/auditor position for the interim period until the newly elected clerk/auditor can take the reins.
Running for the position of clerk/auditor is Brenda Dugmore-Republican and KolletteCollette Cologie-Democrat.


text: Shop the skirts trending now. Party season calls for bodycon skirts and skater styles in velvet or sequins, while winter days are best styled out with preppy checked kilts or oversized maxi skirts. The midi skirt is a key length for Autumn/Winter - think metallic pleats, embroidered denim or slick leather pencil skirts. Want shoes to style them with? Do longer lengths with platform heels and trainers, or style mini skirts with sheer tights and this season's high-shine metallic boots.

1 dead, 2 injured by SW Florida lightning strike
Published: Wednesday, July 23, 2014 at 11:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 23, 2014 at 11:53 a.m.
FORT MYERS BEACH — A lightning strike has killed one person and injured two others on Fort Myers Beach in southwest Florida.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office says 41-year-old Scott Wilcox of Lehigh Acres was struck by lightning shortly after 2 p.m. Tuesday. The strike apparently killed Wilcox instantly.
Fourteen-year-old Zac Latawiec and 16-year-old Chelsea Gill were injured. They were taken to the hospital, and their conditions were not immediately available.
Witnesses say they heard a loud cracking sound when the lightning struck.
According to local media reports, the storm was so intense that rescue workers had to stay in their vehicles for some time after the strike.
Deputies say Gill was walking and talking before being taken to the hospital.

Diane Kruger flew in to Vancouver on Saturday to spend Thanksgiving with Joshua Jackson. Here she is arriving at the airport before meeting up with him later on. They were seen spending the afternoon downtown, walking around Gastown, stopping every few blocks or so to kiss. Passionately. Still. It's been 5 years for Diane and Joshua. And by all accounts, they are as into each other as they've always been.
Joshua of course remains in Vancouver while shooting Fringe. The 4th season just kicked off on September 23.

Food, medicine, house, fuel, prayer….the list goes on…Tell me one reason why five thousand years ago the cow should not have been worshipped. God is the all provider and a cow was the all provider in ancient Hindu society.
Various products provided by the cow are an integral part of a Hindu way of life. Quite often many Hindus might not be aware of it.
Even today there are millions of households in
Majority of the South Indians find it hard to have lunch without the curd. What about our burfis and the numerous other sweets? The buttermilk, the ice cream, the bhang, ….yet another endless list…. It is not without reason that
But the holy cow creates numerous traffic blocks. Well, the cows you find on the Indian roads were left there by its owners. We are living in a society in which some people send old parents to old age homes and even to streets. So, the fate of an old and diseased cow cannot be any better. The cow loitering on our streets are an indication of a self-centered society. The cow will only be happy to move out of the road and live in some green pastures.

Ombre dyed-hair is the latest marker of cool girl nonchalance, which Sally Jonsson nails in this new Tobias Lundkvist editorial for Rodeo magazine, partnered with graphic, paint-splatter prints. Despite minimal accessorizing, everything's still visually interesting with paint strewn in varying degrees all over black jeans, ripped jeans, shorts, shirts, and even shoes. It's a nice change of pace to see something in an editorial that you may not be able to afford, but always have the option to DIY. Grab paint, grab jeans, and go to town!

Go 6.5 if you're typically a 6
"I typically wear a 6--unless I know a shoe fits a bit small. There isn't too much padding in the shoe, so a 6 would have been rather uncomfortable. But the shoe has great balance between the front and the back, so much so that I can dance in them. 6.5 fits well, and the shoe laces keep the shoe snug to my feet."

Extremely Comfortable!
"I LOVE these shoes! They are extremely comfortable. Only problem is after only a few days worn, the heel tips are almost completely gone. I will have to replace them if I want to wear them again, however I don't have extra tips. So I would recommend with that caution!"

finely new chapter after a week break
finely new chapter after a week break
oh snaps, mashima delivers another awesome chapter
Holy shit what that a surprise!i already guessed that makarov and hades are somehow conected ,but not this. My jaw was already dropped at Grimore Law, but when they cut to the flashback I was like "No... No..." and BAM! 2nd master of Fairy Tail... I nominate this for new biggest plot twist this arc has had. All in favor?
The fact that Hades is actually master of Makarov makes "everything" seems like Makarov will die. Or both will die.
How old is Hades?
Decent chapter. I literally called the twist before I read it. But, who do you think is gonna fight that crazy fire guy?
My money's on Natsu, Grey, or Juvia.

Note, I have no real drawing talent, so it'll be mostly literature.
Proud Grammar Nazi
how do u guys think GHs army wil be defeated, by fairy tails members or wil makarov blow upp thier ass whit fairy law?
and about that goat guy, i think his magic is simular to that card guy erza was friends (forgot his name) when she was a kid
i think the GH will stomp the FT........for my opinion they`re too strong for them...besides they have ultear hax time magic.
anyway,Trailer's out for the ova. Yay for being uncensored, lol
Also, new theme for Fairy Tail? I'm diggin it
Damn good chapter and a hell of a twist.

WHEN A VIRUS makes everyone over the age of eighteen infertile, would-be parents must pay teen girls to conceive and give birth to their children, making teens the most prized members of society.Sixteen-year-old identical twins Melody and Harmony were separated at birth and had never met until the day Harmony shows up on Melody's doorstep. Until now, the twins have followed completely opposite paths. Melody has scored an enviable conception contract with a couple called the Jaydens. While they search for the perfect partner for Melody to bump with, she is fighting her attraction to her best friend, Zen, who is way too short for the job.Harmony has spent her whole life in religious Goodside, preparing to be a wife and mother. She believes her calling is to convince Melody that pregging for profit is a sin. But Harmony has secrets of her own that she is running from.When Melody is finally matched with the world-famous, genetically flawless Jondoe, both girls' lives are changed forever. A case of mistaken identity takes them on a journey neither could have ever imagined, one that makes Melody and Harmony realize they have so much more than just DNA in common.From New York Times bestselling author Megan McCafferty comes a strikingly original look at friendship, love, and sisterhood—in a future that is eerily believable.
I'm a bestselling novelist from New Jersey who isn't Snookie. (Okay, I know Snookie is from Poughkeepsie, but that's just a technicality.)
A satire set in 2035. Only teenagers can get pregnant.
Satire is not for everyone. Bumped is a cautionary tale about happens when sociopolitical extremes crowd out more moderate approaches to social problems. So I certainly shouldn't be surprised by extreme reactions to it! It's unfortunate if readers take this book at face value and mistakenly think I'm glorifying or trivializing teen pregnancy. But if I can inspire teens to consider the parallels between real life and the futuristic fiction in BUMPED, I feel I've succeeded. I'd rather write books that are thought-provoking than boring.
Yes. I always saw it as two narrators, two books.
I had written about Jessica Darling, Marcus Flutie and their very familiar world for ten years. It was a huge challenged to invent the futuristic society of BUMPED. My husband reads a lot of Sci-Fi. He cautioned me against trying to accurately predict what will happen to language and technology 25 years from now because I would inevitably be wrong. He encouraged me to have fun with the wordplay and worldplay, so I did.
Thank you! I have a general idea of what will happen in a scene, but not the specifics. It's a combination of planning and inspiration. I revise a lot as I go along, weaving in more and more details with every pass. As for characters, I try to get inside their fictional minds to figure out what motivates them to do what they do. It's kind of like method acting in that way.
I put about a year of research into BUMPED before I started writing because I wanted everything—even the craziest notions—to be rooted in reality. That said, none of the characters are inspired by anyone specific, though my husband did grow up in the same neighborhood as identical twins named Melody and Harmony.
I can only write in my home office when the house is empty and there's no one to distract me.
I'd love to be able to make good things happen for good people. My superhero name would be Karmama.
I never get bored eating Mexican food, drinking margaritas, listening to good music and laughing it up with people I love. And yes, I realize that sounds like a commercial for Chevy's Fresh Mex.
I'm revising the sequel to BUMPED as quickly as I can. I want to resolve that cliffhanger for you! After that, I'll start doing research for the germ of an idea could evolve into the book that comes after that. Whatever comes next for me, I hope there's an audience eager to read it.
Thanks so much to Megan for joining us!

text: The vivacious sounds MS MR have come to define the modern sub-pop scene, and RAC is an artist who not only has impeccable taste, but know's how to insert his own to amplify the energy of an original before the scene gets a solid grip on a track. Together the two artists combine for this remix that somehow finds a way to breathe positive life into lyrics that dwell on a failed relationship. An exaltation of sound, one can't help but feel the freedom associated with the exclamatory vibes oozing from the original and the dance driven beat behind the remix.

To Court Millennials, Hotels Are Rolling Out the Yoga Mat
February 27, 2017
A boil is an infection that affects groups of hair follicles and nearby skin tissue.
Related conditions include:
Boils are very common. They are most often caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. They can also be caused by other types bacteria or fungi found on the skin's surface. Damage to the hair follicle allows the infection to grow deeper into the follicle and the tissues under it.
Boils may occur in the hair follicles anywhere on the body. They are most common on the face, neck, armpit, buttocks, and thighs. There can be one or many boils.
A boil may begin as a tender, pinkish-red, swollen, firm area in the skin. Over time, it will feel like a water-filled balloon or cyst.
Pain gets worse as it fills with pus and dead tissue. Pain lessens when the boil drains. A boil may drain on its own. More often, the boil needs to be opened to drain.
The main symptoms of a boil include:
Other symptoms may include:
The health care provider can usually diagnose a boil based on how it looks. A sample of cells from the boil may be sent to the lab for a culture to look for staphylococcus or other bacteria.
Boils may heal on their own after a period of itching and mild pain. More often, they become more painful as pus builds up.
Boils usually need to open and drain in order to heal. This most often happens within 2 weeks.
You may need to have surgery to drain deep or large boils. Get treatment from you health care provider if:
It is important keep a boil clean:
Your doctor may give you antibiotics you take by mouth or a shot if the boil is very bad or comes back.
Antibacterial soaps and creams cannot help much once a boil has formed.
Some people have repeated infections and are unable to prevent them.
Boils in areas like the ear canal or nose can be very painful. A health care provider should treat boils of the nose.
Boils that form close together may expand and join, causing a condition called carbunculosis.
Call your health care provider if boils:

Never understood the vicious hatred towards I&B by some people. They have very good skating skills. I absolutely love their smooth stroking.
D&B are really fast and aggressive. However, they really need to add more transitions and get rid of excessive crossovers and 2-foot skating, otherwise, their PCS won't make a leap any time soon since they are not Russians.
Kurt commented he never saw K&S successfully landing a throw 4 sal when watching them practice for a 2-week period. Crazy for them to add this unreliable element to the actual program.
I loved Pang and Tong, this is the first time I really feel connected to their skating. Beautiful program and they are committed to the choreography.
Denney and Barret...the program looked pretty much the same as Spartacus, no real connection to the music whatsoever.

Product Risk Management Workshop
Companies that are required to meet consumer product safety laws and standards in the United States have a new avenue to help them build safer products — university-level product safety education courses.
|John Cook School of Business
Taught at Saint Louis University's John Cook School of Business, the next course is a two-day Product Risk Management Workshop scheduled for Monday, Feb. 4, and Tuesday, Feb. 5., that will teach safety professionals from industry how to conduct product risk assessments using a process known as hazard analysis.
Companies have been sending their managers to product safety courses at the University for the past four years. SLU's product safety courses are the first such management courses offered at the university-level by a top 100 accredited university in the United States.
The program is offered through the school's Center for Supply Chain Management Studies, which was recognized in 2012 for contributions to the product safety field by the Chairman of the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Inez Tenenbaum.
Large global brand corporations, along with medium and small companies, have found the courses to be valuable in showing employees how product safety systems fit into a company's new product development process. By building safer products companies reduce the risk that they will be among manufacturers or retailers required to recall millions of product units annually due to the unreasonable risks to consumers. Instructors for the course are recognized authorities in the product safety field working under the guidance of ADK Information Services, LLC the University's product safety adviser.
The Product Risk Assessment course being taught at Saint Louis University will focus on a company's new product development process using detailed information on the technical aspects of risk assessment. The course includes over two hours of hands-on training using the risk assessment tools and processes. Students will examine foreseeable use of products that could lead to injury, and focus on the different forms of hazard that can be identified in products such as asphyxiation, physical/mechanical hazards, thermal effects and electrical hazards, and chemical hazards.
Intended for technical staff involved in making safety decisions, safety engineers, product developers and quality assurance personnel, the course offers students a Saint Louis University Certificate in Risk Assessment.
A course description and registration are available at www.adksafetyinfo.com, or by calling the Center for Supply Chain Management Studies at 314-977-3617.
To schedule a media interview, call Jeanette Grider at (314) 977-2538.

I had the opportunity to ask Debbie from Party Perfect a few questions.
Anchor: What is your favorite part of party planning?
Party Perfect: Our favorite part of party planning is watching the vision come to life. Usually we spend close to a year planning an event with a client and seeing how everything comes together from conception to the final execution is really astounding and incredibly gratifying.
Anchor: How long have you been doing this?
Party Perfect: My partner Laura and I have officially been in business a little over two years, but before Party Perfect came to life, we were planning our own events and helping friends with parties and Mitzvahs.
Anchor: Can you give a quick tip adding a touch of class to a party?
Party Perfect: I think the best way to add a touch of class to a party is to personalize it. Do something that has some relevance to the guest of honor: make a candy bar with favorite candies and personalized signage or create a logo to use throughout the party (on napkins, give-away bags, dj screens, etc) to help "brand" the event.

We also adore their blog, "Mitzvahlicious."

By Tim Wildmon
My lovely and talented wife Alison and I have reached the point in our marriage where we can both read the newspaper still be secure in our relationship. In fact, we both read and then exchange "hey, listen to this," comments. On Monday I read to her part of a story from the sports section where professional golfer Greg Norman was commenting on the need for drug testing in light of the recent revelation by Vijay Singh that he was doping. Then I quoted to Alison: "Singh acknowledged in a magazine interview in January that he had used deer antler spray, which contains a muscle-building-hormone banned by the PGA Tour."
Alison peers over her librarian reading glasses at me. "Go back to the…"
"Deer antler spray," I said, reading her mind like long-time married people do. "How do you ingest deer antler spray," I asked.
At this point she took her hand and simulated spraying into it. "Sprays into his mouth I guess," she said.
"You mean to tell me a man takes deer antler spray and shoots into his mouth to help his golf game?" I said. "Seriously."
"Crazy world," she said, "Listen to this."
"What you got?"
"A girl was driving drunk on McCullough, she hit another car, the police showed up so she ran into the woods half-naked."
"Uh huh…"
"So then, and I quote, 'Medics checked with the suspect (the drunk girl) and attempted to treat the suspect, but she refused treatment and refused to go to the hospital. … Officers requested she do tests, but she refused. She was placed under arrest and transported to the Lee County jail. She attempted to give a sample, but then said she was 'not blowing anymore.'"
"Well, I'm going with the hospital over the jail," I reasoned. "Police offered her a sweet deal there."
Alison turned the page. I looked back at the paper as did she and a couple of minutes of silence went by.
"Hey, listen to this," I broke the silence. "A proposed law introduced in the California Legislature would allow public school children to use bathrooms designated for members of the opposite sex, if that students' 'gender identity' differed from the student's biological sex."
Again, she looks over her paper at me, slides her glasses down to the tip of her nose.
"So kids can pick the restroom they want to go to, based on if they feel like they are a boy or girl on that particular day?"
"Yeah," I said. "You got a problem with that? Are you a bigot?"
"They just better be glad I don't live in California with kids in school."
"I don't think you would make it in California. You aren't very tolerant of kids with gender identity issues."
"No, I'm not."
"Crazy world, isn't it?"
"Sucking down deer antler spray. Wow."

The Stormers moved to the top of the Super Rugby standings after overcoming the Waratahs 19-13 in a dour affair at Newlands.
The Stormers moved to the top of the Super Rugby standings on Saturday after defeating the Waratahs 19-13 in a dour affair at Newlands in Cape Town.
The home side produced a vastly improved attacking display but it was not enough to earn them a highly sought-after bonus point.
Leading 16-6 at the break, a bonus-point seemed possible after the Stormers scored two first-half tries.
In the second half, however, they showed a fair amount of enterprise but could not add to their first-half try count.
In the opening minutes, there was a succession of kicks from both sides and a reluctance to run the ball from anywhere within their own half.
The ploy did not bring any reward as the kicks were always too deep and did not pose problems inside the opposition half.
The Waratahs resorted to Berrick Barnes repeatedly kicking up-and-unders but the Stormers' backs, notably Joe Pietersen, Gio Aplon and Peter Grant, showed great courage with number of brave catches under pressure.
On one occasion, the Stormers failed to clear adequately as they infringed and Waratahs scrum-half Brendan McKibbin goaled the resultant penalty.
The Stormers, on the other hand, changed gear after 10 minutes and showed enterprise by opting for strong runs with ball in hand.
Aplon provided the spark with a fine break from the halfway line before he was held up 10 metres out.
The Stormers spun the ball wide from the breakdown and Pietersen dived over the corner for the opening try of the match. Grant's conversion failed.
Pietersen made it 8-3 in the 22nd minute with a 35-metre penalty and this advance gave the Stormers' game a decided lift before the halftime break.
The Waratahs were forced to settle for a defensive role and they did well to stifle several promising sorties into their 22-metre area, except one which materialised in a try by hooker Tiaan Liebenberg.
The conversion by Grant failed but he atoned with a penalty a few minutes ahead of the break.
The Waratahs took the Stormers by surprise at the start of the second half with a strong attack down the outside far right channel where centre Rob Horne rounded off splendidly with a try.
McKibbin followed his conversion with a penalty moments later and reduced the deficit to three points.
The Stormers shrugged off the setback with a penetrative move past the Waratahs 10-metre line and their pressure caused the visitors to incur a penalty which Grant goaled to open up a six-point lead.
Every so often, the Stormers opened up the game with some fine attacking play but the Waratahs' defence coped well with all the variations thrown at them.
The scorers:
For Stormers:
Tries: Pietersen, Liebenberg
Pen: Pietersen, Grant 2
For Waratahs:

Milltek Sport installs Unison bending machine
Car exhaust manufacturer Milltek Sport, Derbyshire, U.K., has installed a new Breeze tube bending machine from Unison, Scarborough, U.K. The machine is Milltek Sport's first all-electric tube bender and provides the company with the ability to bend to tighter radii than its existing hydraulically actuated equipment.
Control of the bending motion is servomotor-based. It bends with almost no noise and no fluid spills or mess, the manufacturer reports. Programmable control over the pressure dies and forces employed during the bending cycle allow the company to handle all kinds of exotic alloys and materials, such as titanium.
The machine can bend tube diameters up to 3.15 in. with a single-stack tool head.

After 23.5 years with the Emery County Sheriff's Office, Deputy John Spinney is taking off his badge. "I have liked serving the public. The people I have worked with, there's not a finer group of people anywhere. I would trust them with my life. In this business, you see quite a bit, but there's always something to surprise you. There's more to this line of work than most people realize. I am really going to miss everyone.
"I worked construction for 20 years and then at the sheriff's office for 23 years and now I am ready for retirement. I won't miss the schedule. Three days on, and then three days off and three nights on. It's time to enjoy life. We live in Ferron and we plan to take some motorcycle trips. I want to work around home and do some gardening. We've been back east on the motorcycles," said Spinney.
Long time friend and retired co-worker Bill Downard came to the retirement party and told Spinney that he recommends retirement and encouraged Spinney to relax have fun and enjoy.
Spinney said he views retirement as his third career, he was in construction, law enforcement and now the next phase is retirement and spending time with the family. Spinney was a bit surprised by the party thrown in his honor because everyone was involved with the Seeley fire and stretched thin. He figured he would go out quietly, but the sheriff's office had other plans as they cooked a pork and had a dinner at Huntington Lake for Spinney.
Spinney's patrol vehicle broke down on his last day on the job and he was in Emery at the time, and limped the car along to the garage in Castle Dale where he was picked up by Sgt. Gayle Jensen.
Sgt. Jensen drove him around a bit and then told him he had a call to the Huntington Lake he had to go on so he brought Spinney to the lake and Spinney saw all the patrol vehicles and knew something was up.
Spinney is very proud of his family. He and his wife Karen have two children, a daughter and a son. His daughter Rakelle lives in Rifle, Colo. and works in Glenwood Springs as a nurse. His son Michael is a store manager in Glenwood Springs.
Spinney enjoyed his time working with Sheriff LaMar Guymon and now with Sheriff Greg Funk. He said he's enjoyed getting to know Sheriff Funk and he worked with him before when he was at the sheriff's office and then he went to the highway patrol for a few years. "But, now he's back and I've enjoyed working with him, he is excelling at this job. I've really enjoyed my associations with the other deputies. I am getting old and tired of the routine calls, but I am really going to miss the people and the good times I've had with all of them. It's time for me to retire. There are a lot of good young officers coming up. I am really going to miss serving and being an officer," said Spinney.
Sgt. Les Wilberg told everyone of Spinney's work ethic and how he worked hard every shift.
Sheriff Funk said they are really going to miss Spinney and he thanked him for his many years of service and hard work.

Due to the fact that our two-party oligarchy is corrupt and unhealthy and no longer represents us…
Due to the fact that the "ruling class elite", large corporations, and wealthy special interests now dominate and control our entire national political system which is corrupt…
Due to the fact that imperialist America is now a corporately owned state that favors the 1%…
Therefore, let We the People move forward by taking the necessary actions to change and improve our political system using Direct Democracy at the federal level via a National Citizens' Ballot Initiative based on the "first principles" procedure. According to Washington, Jefferson, and other "Founding Fathers", "first principles" means that all republics and representative democracies are grounded and vested in the sovereign majority vote of We the People. At the Continental Convention in 1787, which ratified our U.S. Constitution and created our new nation, the majority of Colonial voters in each state sent their representatives to this convention to vote on their behalf. As a consequence, our entire U.S. government and especially our three branches –the Judiciary, Executive, and Legislative –are all concrete creations emanating from the majority vote and sovereign will of We the People! What is the National Initiative for Democracy? The National Initiative for Democracy (NI4D.US process) is a citizens' legislative procedure that would allow We the People, independently of Congress and the Executive branch, to propose and vote directly on three laws of our own choosing each year. If a majority of Americans voted in favor, they would automatically become law. That's direct democracy at work. The NI4D process consists of a Constitutional amendment and a Federal law. The Democracy Amendment,a proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, will:
1. recognize the legislative power of We the People to make laws; 2. permit We the People to amend our US Constitution via a majority vote in November of every year; 3. create an Electoral Trust to administer the procedures established by the Democracy Amendment and Act. The Electoral Trust will be comprised of one representative per every million people in each state, elected by a majority of citizens in that state; 4. outlaw the use of funds from non-natural persons (for example corporate funds) in initiative elections under this article, and 5. outlaw non-natural persons (for example corporations) from sponsoring initiatives under this article.
The Democracy Act,a proposed federal law, will:
1. set out deliberative procedures to be used by citizens to create federal laws by initiative; 2. describe the key responsibilities of the Electoral Trust which shall administer the initiative process on behalf of We the People.
The National Citizens' Initiative does not change or eliminate Congress, the President, or the Judiciary. Laws created by initiative must still stand up in the courts just like laws created by Congress. The National Citizens' Initiative adds an additional check ––the sovereign voice of We the People ––to our system of checks and balances, while setting up a working partnership between We the People and their elected representatives. This will help to hold our Congress accountable because they now realize that if they fail to represent and execute "the will of the people", we will do it ourselves! The Democracy Act
The Democracy Act December 3, 2011 (as authorized by the NYC OWS General Assembly) THIS ACT, establishing legislative procedures and an administrative agency, will empower and permit the citizens of these United States to exercise their legislative power; and it will be added to the Federal Code. HEREBY, Let It Be So Enacted By We the People Of These United States:
1. TITLE. This act shall be known and may be cited as the Democracy Act. 2. PREAMBLE. We the People of these United States do inherently possess the sovereign authority and power to govern ourselves by majority vote. We asserted this power in our Declaration of Independence and in the ratification of our Constitution. Therefore, We the People do hereby choose now to participate as lawmakers in our local, state, and national governments. We the People shall hereby exercise our legislative powers by national, state, and local initiative concurrently with the same legislative powers that we delegated to our elected representatives. THEREFORE, We the People, decide now to enact this Democracy Act, establishing a "Legislature of the People, by the People, for the People". (To bear witness to this act in its entirety, go to www.NI4D.US.com and click under the Democracy Act).
NECESSARY FUNDING: To date, over 12,000 people have signed up to vote for this Amendment and Democracy Act. However, in order to get it passed into law using the "first principles" procedures as outlined in www.NI4D.US,we need one more vote than a majority of Americans who voted in the most previous national election. Today, that number would be 60 million votes plus one.
In order to hire an Internet marketing company with the proven capability to make our National Citizens' Ballot Initiative Campaign go viral to reach 100 million voting Americans, I propose that we receive $25,000 in funding from the NYC General Assembly, OWS, for the first year of our campaign. This will enable us to get 10 million ballot initiative signers or voters who will then provide the necessary energy and e-mail interconnections to garner 100 million signers and voters. That's the way a "viral ballot initiative campaign" works. Here are the Internet companies we have selected to date. If you know of any other outstanding Internet companies, please let us know.

After the first year, we will raise our own funds to finish this National Citizens' Ballot Initiative Campaign during the following two years. So far, we have identified nine outstanding Internet marketing companies who may be able to assist us, but we will need an additional 25 days of careful review and discussion with them to determine which one can best do the job. As everyone knows, this campaign must be conducted professionally with highly skilled people. The Democracy Foundation, a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization, has agreed to administer any funds that the NYC GA OWS might decide to allocate. This not-for-profit foundation has a Board of Directors to insure financial accountability and has been in business for 12 years.
There are no words in the US Constitution that empower We the People to directly pass amendments to our Constitution or to directly pass laws of our own choosing, but there are also no words granting Congress the exclusive right to do so either. Therefore, just as "We the People" here at the NYC OWS have self-empowered our own General Assembly to pass proposals, — We the People, by the sovereign majority power invested in us by God, Mother Nature, and all humans, — due hereby declare that we are rightfully and justifiably self-empowered to pass amendments to our Constitution and three new laws of our own choosing each year using the "first principle" tools of Direct Democracy.
Isn't it high time We the People had some real Direct Voting Democracy? Let's pull together in unity and solidarity and go get us some! Submitted by Douglas E. Wight, International Activist and Independent Journalist and a member of the OWS working group Politics and Electoral Reform. 413-320-3653
