Has no one got any common sense anymore?
I casually flicked through the manual of a kick-ass juicer that I won and some of the warnings and instructions are just REDICK!
Does anyone actually think putting a digit anywhere near a blade is a good idea?
I say if someone is dumb enough to do that then they should lose their finger as punishment.
Don't all of these warnings and safety reminders actually defeat the purpose of natural selection and survival of the fittest?
After reading through some safety precautions I thought I'd share some things that you should never do when using a juicer:
1. Have a bath and use a juicer at the same time because you might give yourself an electric shock and die.
2. Give it to your kids when they're bored no matter how much they beg you because… wait for it… it's not something they can play with. Who knew right?
3. Try to lift or move your juicer with just ONE HAND, you must use BOTH hands or else something really bad will happen.
4. Do not have a shower with your juicer.
5. Pretend you don't see the smoke from the unit and continue to use it because you just can't start your day without your green smoothie.
6. Take your juicer to a flimsy or soft surface and attempt to use it, eg a bed or bean bag.
It's my opinion that as a society we are WAY too ridiculous in regards to warnings we give people.
I agree that some messages are important, especially for visitors that aren't aware of local dangers or problems.
But it's getting a bit ridiculous when we have to be told that razor blades are sharp and that we should NEVER iron an item of clothing while wearing it.
I say it's time to bring back common sense.
Don't you agree?
What is the silliest warning sign you have seen?

Literally… we shower, she sits at the shower do, we do crunches (not as often as we'd like) and Hailey is sitting there to support us with kisses each time we finish a crunch.. but then there are the rare times that we catch her slacking on the job… like this one. Hailey is quite active, if shes not attached to our hips she is busy hunting, lizards of course. When she crashes though, she must always find the light that warms the carpet. THAT is where she parks it!

Harfang Wheels is only providing a platform to sell this great product. All the money goes to Asset and they will proceed and ship your order. For this reason, combined orders with this product are not available.
The Asset 2 in 1 skateboard footstop brings the answer to an overly asked question: does anyone have a skate tool?
Until now having a tool available has been a bit of a pain, trying to store one in your leathers or pockets without compromising safety is on everyone's mind. The Asset footstop holds a custom made skate tool so you can swap wheels or make adjustments at a moments notice.
Keep track of your tool, skate tools are often left behind or passed on but no one seems to have one. Before you drop in check your foot and make sure the tool is firmly planted back in place so you can ride away and worry less about swapping wheels.
This concept was created to aid any freeride skater who has a serious habit of burning through wheels, Riders that tear up race wheels, or people who commit to one set up for all disciplines and just need to make adjustments between terrain.
We hope you enjoy the Asset footstop as much as we do.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com for information.

You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and reprogram your pager.
Philips Consumer Communications recently unveiled the Myna, a new pager that alerts owners with a nine-note melody of their choosing. The Myna's Melody Maker function allows users to create and store melodies by using a programming code for tempo, note value and pitch. Or a user can choose Melody ID, which sounds an alert for calls by using melodies generated by the caller's numeric message.
The Myna also comes with prearranged melodies for programming, with more melodies to be posted at Philips's Web site, www.philipsconsumer.com.
The prearranged melodies you can choose now include the themes from Beethoven's Fifth, ''La Marseillaise, ''Somewhere Over the Rainbow'' and the theme from the television show ''Green Acres.'' The last is annoying if you leave your pager on at the opera. BRUCE HEADLAMContinue reading the main story

An arrest warrant was issued for Chung Yoo-ra — daughter of Choi Soon-sil — in December for alleged interference of business.
Chung was taken into custody Sunday night in the northern Danish city of Aalborg by North Jutland Police and appeared in court Monday. She was remanded in custody for four weeks.
Danish authorities said they have asked the South Korean Ministry of Justice to send a formal extradition request.
At a press conference on December 21, Lee Kyu-chul, a spokesman for South Korea's special counsel team, told media that Chung — a medal-winning equestrian — was suspected to be in Germany.
"South Korean prosecutors plan to seek cooperation with German prosecutors on her arrest and freezing assets belonged to both Choi and Chung in Germany," he said at the time.
Special treatment
Chung, 20, is a well-known figure in South Korea. She won gold as a member of the group dressage equestrian event at the 2014 Asian Games.
She's also attracted public attention due to her family's high profile, and suggestions that she's used their connections to her advantage.
Last year Chung was accused of receiving special treatment to secure admission to Ewha Woman's University, a top school in Seoul. After the scandal emerged, the university canceled Chung's admission and expelled her. The head of the university also resigned.
Chung is also reported to have received 2.8 million euros from Samsung.
During a parliamentary hearing in early December, Samsung's J.Y Lee admitted the company had provided Choi's daughter with a horse and apologized.
He said he didn't recall how much Samsung had provided to Choi and Chung in total.
After weeks of protest, South Korea's parliament voted on December 9 to impeach Park.

As islanders we make a living from agriculture, fishing and soft tourism - and recently also from renewable energies. Our guests enjoy the close contact with their hosts and with nature. Living your daily life or enjoying a holiday on Pellworm requires a lot of effort and personal initiative.
Our island needs new possibilities to earn a living and a clever link between the traditional and new professions to ensure a decent livelihood on the island to the young and the elderly islanders. Flexible thinking and action is also required in view of the challenge of climate change and the changes in agricultural and environmental policies.

When your battery needs to be changed in your tracker, just follow these three steps:
1. Locate your "battery key," which is in the tin that originally housed your tracker.
2. Line up the key with the holes on the back of the tracker and turn counter-clockwise about one-half turn, or until you are unable to turn it anymore.
3. Gently use two hands to push on the opposite side of the battery opening and replace with new CR2430 lithium coin battery (also known as a "button battery").

text: The 19-year-old model's dad Bruce has been the subject of intense speculation of late as it's rumoured he is transitioning into a woman. While he is yet to confirm the news, his daughter has apparently done so in an interview with Us Weekly. "I love my dad. He's always been there for me and my sisters," she told the publication on Saturday. "He's a wonderful man. And just because he's changing shoes now, so to speak, doesn't make him less wonderful. I will always love my dad, whether he's a man or a woman." 'He's always been there for me and my sisters'Bruce has five other children, including Kendall's sister Kylie. He is also step-father to Kim, Khloé, Kourtney and Rob Kardashian and it's been widely reported all the children have been rallying around since he revealed he wants to live as a woman.Kendall wasn't drawn any further on the topic, although she did discuss what angers her about being famous."When people say we don't work hard. That's just the biggest lie ever. All of our family members are super dedicated to their work, and we all know how to commit ourselves to our jobs. It's a great quality to have, I think. A good work ethic goes a long way," she said.Kendall has become one of the top models around, walking for the likes of Chanel and Marc Jacobs during the recent Fashion Week season.She loves everything about the career, but realises it's unlikely to last forever. That's why she's making plans to act, like her good friend and fellow model Cara Delevingne.The pair are close and the British star is just one of Kendall's famous pals. She's also friendly with Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith, explaining that given her family is so famous she prefers it when her friends understand what that entails."I don't know if it's easier, but it doesn't hurt. When you grow up in the public eye, it's a little difficult for others to understand what you are going through sometimes," she explained."It's not normal to go get a coffee in the morning and have paparazzi follow you. And some people might not understand that. My famous friends get it. We are on the same page."© Cover Media

UPDATE 10/7: Gay marriage is now officially legal in Colorado.
Tuesday, the Colorado Supreme Court lifted the final legal barriers standing in the way of same-sex couples obtaining marriage licenses from county clerks.
"There are no remaining legal requirements that prevent same-sex couples from legally marrying in Colorado. Beginning today, Colorado's 64 county clerks are legally required to issue licenses to same-sex couples who request them. In addition, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is required to register such marriages in the records of the state of Colorado," Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said in a statement Tuesday.
The sudden legalization of gay marriage in Colorado comes after a surprise decision by the U.S. Supreme Court Monday to not review appeals from five states that were seeking to ban gay marriage: Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin. The decision affected Colorado because Colorado, like Oklahoma and Utah, falls under the 10th Circuit Court. The 10th Circuit Court found the same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma unconstitutional; with the Supreme Court's decision to let that ruling stand, Colorado immediately found its own gay marriage ban invalidated.
Some Colorado counties started issuing marriage licenses immediately after the Supreme Court decision, but most decided to wait until all stays put in place by federal and state courts were lifted. With the news Tuesday that those stays were lifted, El Paso County, which had held off, announced that effective immediately, they were issuing licenses to same-sex couples.
PREVIOUS 10/6: A monumental moment for same-sex couples in Colorado came in just 140 characters.
"Once the legal formalities are complete, #samesexmarriage will be legal in Colorado now that #SCOTUS denied ruling," the state attorney general's office tweeted Monday afternoon.
With that tweet, county clerks across the state were given the green light to begin issuing marriage licenses to gay couples.
It was all part of a domino effect that started Monday morning when the Supreme Court decided not to review any appeals from five states--Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin--that were trying to ban same-sex marriage. By leaving in place the rulings from the 4th, 7th and 10th Circuits, the Supreme Court's "non-decision" effectively legalized gay marriage in almost a dozen states: the five whose appeals were rejected and six others who fall under the jurisdiction of those lower courts. The Colorado attorney general's office explained how the decision affects Colorado:
"Because the 10th Circuit Court, which has jurisdiction over Colorado, struck down Utah and Oklahoma's ban, today's decision by the high court clears the way for same-sex couples to legally wed in Colorado once stay orders have been lifted."
Attorney General John Suthers' office stated that county clerks "can and should begin issuing and recognizing marriage licenses to gay couples."
Pueblo County was one of the Colorado counties that gave out licenses over the summer until ordered by Suthers to stop and wait for a court ruling. Following the Supreme Court's decision, the county immediately resumed handing out licenses.
"I think it is a historical moment for Colorado. We've had that same-sex marriage ban for some time now. And so now, it's open and equal for everyone. So I think it is a big deal for Colorado," Pueblo County Clerk Gilbert Ortiz said.
Kat Rogers and Stacey Nowlin were the first in the county to get their license.
"I think it's a very positive note and I think...'Go government!' I think it's the right thing to do," Rogers said.
"There are so many things you can't do without it," Nowlin added.
Rogers and Nowlin have waited years to get married. They were unable to get their licenses over the summer because Rogers was in the hospital during the brief window of legalization.
"The day I got out, we came up and it was too late," Rogers said.
Larimer County and Douglas County have also begun issuing same-sex marriage licenses.
Meanwhile, the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder's Office is waiting for a few legal loose ends to be tied up before it starts issuing licenses. Suthers' office says stays put in place by federal and state courts need to be lifted before gay marriage is officially legal in the state. His office; the governor's office; and the clerks of Adams, Boulder, Denver and Jefferson Counties have filed joint motions to lift those stays.
"I wish I did have a firm timeline that I could give people but since it's a little bit out of our control I can't say for certain," El Paso County Clerk Ryan Parsell said.
The Denver County clerk is also waiting for the stays to be lifted.
Though many across the state were ecstatic, not everyone is hailing the Supreme Court "non-decision" as a victory. Congressman Doug Lamborn issued the following statement Monday:
"By refusing to take up these appeals, the Supreme Court has allowed unelected activist judges from lower federal courts to usurp the democratic process and undermine the constitutional rights of several states, including Colorado, to define marriage consistent with the values of their citizens."
The court's inaction still means that there is not an official ruling on same-sex marriage nationwide. But it does make same-sex marriage legal in more than half of the states.
Court observers believe a landmark decision will come down in the next year or two.

A Tatter's Workbook
by A. Tatter
This is a book a tatter created in the 1920's, recording patterns created and practiced. The identity of this tatter is unknown.
The workbook pages, typed by the tatter, are shown at 70% with the actual sample tatted by the author either pinned or sewn to the page before it was copied by Lacis. The patterns were all tested and reproduced beside the patterns to act as a visual pattern.
This book can be used for patterns, inspiration and as a coffee table book.... even non-tatters will enjoy looking at it.

Bamburgh Castle f.174
Artist: Grimm, Samuel Hieronymus
Medium: Ink wash on paper
Date: 1773
A south-east view in ink of Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland, taken from the sands. In this drawing the Norman square keep can be seen and a part of the castle curtain walls. There was previously an Anglo-Saxon fort on the site, but the Normans built the stone building that is now recognisable as the castle. Although the castle was besieged many times, for centuries it remained uncaptured until the Wars of the Roses (1453-1486). From the late 16th century until the mid-18th century the castle belonged to the Forster family, but upon their bankruptcy it was sold off to the Bishop of Durham, Lord Crewe.

I wonder how old Yukina and Hiei are? Hiei was already steeped in evil by the time Yusuke encountered him so I assume he had to be out of his teens. Otherwise he was awfully precocious. I think they are adults when the series begins.
If I was Yukina, there are a couple of reactions I might have on having an adolescent declare his love for me. Coming from a race that usually reproduces asexually, I would probably be squicked by the whole idea of sex, let alone sex with a male. If I had been sexually abused by Tarukane's(sp?) goons in an effort to produce tears, I would probably be worse than squicked. Even if interested in males, Kuwabara is still a child and I don't see any evidence that Yukina is a pedophile.
So, if I was Yukina, I'd just pretend I didn't understand what Kuwabara was on about and hope he'd get over it.

The first humans called themselves the Ktunaxa. Their history does not speak of any other home. They are the people of this land, and they have stories that tell of living a nomadic life in this trench from a time before the last ice age had cleared the land. They lived nomadically, moving from hunting ground to hunting ground, lake to river, as the seasons changed. They crossed the Rocky Mountains to hunt buffalo, competing with their archrivals the Blood and the Cree. Artifacts confirm they ranged as far north as what is now the city of Edmonton to gather the buffalo robes and meat for their families.
The Ktunaxa have a distinctive language that was used by seven groups of people, five in what is now Canada and two in what is now Montana, Idaho and Washington states. The language has no links to other languages. It was never written, although there are many pictographs and some petroglyphs throughout the Kootenays. For many years, the Ktunaxa were called the Kootenay Indians, thus the name of the area. The people numbered in the thousands, but never increased enough to stress the land. They erected the pole skeletons for their tepees for long use, covered them with hides when they lived there; took the hides when they left. In the winter, they lived in kekules, shelters dug into the ground and covered with poles and dirt to keep out the cold. They had a varying system for leadership, which was shared by the men and the women and depended on what leadership was needed. Did they need to consult the duck shaman? The wise person about the elk? Did they need knowledge about the salmon coming from the ocean to spawn?
War, sickness, spirituality-different wisdom for different situations. Twice a year all the Ktunaxa peoples would gather, once at Athalmer and once at Castlegar. Perhaps they would hunt or fish together or decide how to respond to invaders, or plan a new way to provision for the season. At those times, they would celebrate the givingand taking of names, the coming of age, the marriages, and they would grieve for those who died. Punishment would be meted out to offenders.
Games and songs and feasting created the ambience. The Ktunaxa, like other American nations, did not see their land as a personal possession. They belonged to the land, and they used it for their time, leaving it in good, or better, shape when they moved on. They used its resources for food and shelter and tools. They mined tourmalinite and chert for their knives and spearheads. Their canoes were of bark. Wild horses ranged widely.
With all these gifts from the land, the Ktunaxa felt the land, the Ktunaxa felt the only thing they owned was knowledge. For more than 10,000 years, that was the rhythm in the oval of the Kootenay and Columbia rivers, whose paths parted north and south in the Rocky Mountain Trench, crossed the next mountain range west, and after returning to a second rendezvous, flowed together again from Kootenay Lake south to the ocean. In about the middle of this basin, the widest part of the whole trench, the Ktunaxa would gather often at Aqkts ga ktleet, 'meeting of two creeks' and connoting a wet place, an important meeting place because it so well afforded their travel north and south, east and west. That place would become Cranbrook.

Early adopters of Mac OS X can begin to scan natively in the OS, thanks to Hamrick Software, which has released an update to its scanner-driver software for Mac OS 8, 9 and X.
VueScan 7.1.9 works with most scanners, to produce high-quality scans. It supports batch scanning and offers full-colour management features. The drivers are available for download from the company.
It supports a variety of scanners from manufacturers including Minolta, Microtek, Nikon, Polaroid, Canon, Epson, Konika, HP and Umax. It also supports a number of FireWire scanners, many USB scanners and most SCSI scanners. It also supports FireWire-SCSI converters on Mac OS X 10.1.
Three versions of the software are available - for Linux, Mac OS and Windows. All three have been built from the same source code, company founder Ed Hamrick told Macworld. However, some system-dependent code is required, which needs to be acquired from Apple, he revealed.
Hamrick announced plans to cease development of Mac OS versions of his drivers last week. Following protests from Macintosh users, he changed his mind. His decision was originally inspired by Apple, which insisted that he pay $195 to acquire a software development kit (SDK) to link SCSI over FireWire scanners to Mac OS X 10.1 Macs.
"I finally got what I needed, but I have to say that dealing with Apple was singularly unpleasant," he revealed. "In the seven years I've developed software for Windows, I've never paid Microsoft a penny for an SDK."
The developer uses wxWindows for software development, so never uses any of Apple's Carbon calls (its officially-supported development tools). Hamrick only needs Apple's SDKs for operating system-dependent elements, such as SCSI, USB and FireWire. WxWindows is a free program for writing applications for multiple operating systems.
Heavily critical of Apple, Hamrick concludes: "I'd recommend that any Mac OS developer use the wxWindows library to insulate themselves from the Carbon API, and to assist them in producing solutions for several different operating systems simultaneously."

Ashantigold coach Hayford Bashiru has committed his future to the Premier League champions by putting pen to paper on a new three-year contract extension, according to club chief executive officer Kudjo Fiaano
Bashiru guided the Miners to win their first league title in almost two decade since arriving at Lenclay Stadium in 2013.
His performance has been awarded by the club's top hierarchy ahead of their participation in the 2015-16 Caf Champions League.
"We've renewed the contract of Hayford to appreciate of his awesome work last season," Fianoo told Nhyira FM .
"The contract is three years not two years as reported by several media outlets. He has done so far well with the club and we believe he will take us to higher heights in the upcoming season especially in the Caf Championship League," he added.
Ashantigold amassed 52 points last season to finish top of the table, four above regional rivals Asante Kotoko.
Goal understands that the board of directors of the club have approved $1 million as the budget for preparations ahead of the Caf Champions League.

Prior to the Service
- Although our service does not start until 10:00am, people begin arriving as early as 9:00am.

- At 10-15 minutes of, the bells are rung at our church indicating the service will begin soon. Our service starts promptly at 10:00am. The service begins with morning announcements and/or reminders of church and community events, with the lighting of the altar and a reading. We encourage all members and visitors to sign the red attendance located in the center of the pews.
- Before the sermon, we have a time where the children come forth to the altar, called Children's Chat. Following the sermon, we take up an offering and have sharing of Joys and Concerns. Other parts of our service may include: singing hymns, choir music, special music, readings, and meditation, or silent reflection. Once a month we take Communion by intinction, which means we are taking Communion by dipping a piece of bread into grape juice. When taking Communion by Intinction, the body of the Church acts together, moving as a community towards the Table.
- We stand for hymns and encourage loud singing, praising, clapping and joyful noise. The minister or service leader will always ask the congregation to stand and to be seated. You don't have to worry about knowing when to stand or sit.
- We love having children and babies in our congregation, there is sometimes the old stigma in church that
children must be seen but not heard, but we love and enjoy their noises and participation in our service.
- Immediately after the service around 11:00am, there is a time for fellowship and greeting. Visitors are invited to stay and get to know us and let us know you. Once a month, we bring a dish to share for potluck downstairs after the service.
- Someone will probably ask you where you are from, if you've been here in the Windham area long, and what drew you to our congregation. We're not trying to be nosy or put you through an inquisition; it's our way of being friendly. We're not pushy. No one will ask you to join the first time you visit.
Services begin at 10:00am every Sunday. Occasionally in the Summer we will hold outdoor services during nice weather (tents and water bottles are provided). If there is inclement weather we advise you to be cautious. A notice is posted online and phone calls will be made if a service is cancelled.
If you have other questions, please feel free to contact us and we'll try an answer them.
Or stop by any Sunday morning and attend our service.

This is how we tell our story:
It begins in the long hours before dawn, before light. Before the birds gather in the old maples and the ash trees out back, gather and twitter and whistle and call. The lulled rustle of crickets. The slow rise and swish of the breeze, shooing the branches, rattling the wind chime hanging from the sun porch. The unlatched screen creaks back and forth on dry hinges. We begin the story before light, when it can be told from memory, the pictures seen in dreams, even in waking. Before the daylight shines hard on the long flat prairie, reaching unbroken to the shelterbelts and the sky. The daylight reminds us of things, a sound, a thing out of place, that disrupts the neatness of our memory. Daylight can get in the way of a story.
So it starts before the timer clicks on the automatic coffeemaker by the sink in the kitchen. Before the clock radios clink on the country stations out of Minot, Devil's Lake, and up in Saskatchewan. Before the chorus of birds outside the window will awaken the sleeper.
In the darkness when the trees rustle and he rushes away, shivering, running with sweat, wound up tight like a cornered animal. Sweating and shaking, as he has done since he came back.

Even though we're not considered reading specialists, language and reading difficulties go hand in hand for many children. Many children that qualify for speech and language therapy based on a language disorder also struggle with reading. There are many resources that you can incorporate into your therapy sessions that work on both. You will collaborate often with the reading or Title 1 specialists, along with all classroom teachers, and these are some resources you may be able to share or use for yourself.
1. Phonemic Awareness in Young Children
This is a great book that focuses on early reading acquisition and how individual sounds make up words and affect meaning. This would be really beneficial for not just SLP's but all pre-k through 1st grade teachers!
2. Ready-to-Use Reading Activities for the Elementary Classroom
The title of this book is obviously geared toward teachers, however this is also a great resource for SLPs! It's filled with monthly games and activities that focus on specific reading skills.
3. Fee, Fie, Phonemic Awareness
This is a great book that I came across and includes activities for pre-kindergarten children. It teaches them about phonemic awareness (the concept that words are made up of individual sounds) through different categories including identifying sounds, building rhyme awareness, building alliteration awareness, recognizing letters, and developing letter-sound awareness.
4. Usborne Phonics Readers
These books are so great! Each book not only works on phonics, but short vowel sounds and rhyming. You can also use certain books for articulation practice depending on what sounds you are working on. I actually ended up going into 4-K and kindergarten classrooms and reading them these books while working on a "sound for the week" as well as rhyming and story prediction. The teachers and kids loved it!
5. http://www.wegivebooks.org/books
This is a great website that lets you read children's books online.
6. Reading and Phonics Games for Kids
You do have to purchase these, however it's a great collection of printable games that works on all kinds of different reading and phonics skills.

About Milfoil
Take a look at these training videos to learn more about identifying milfoil. You can really help control this dangerous invasive by learning how to scout and mark invasives, and by volunteering to be a Lake Steward.
These videos were produced by the East Schroon Lake Association. Our scouting program is much more informal - if you see it, mark it! Our lake is small enough so someone will see your orange marker and our Lake Manager will check it out.

Venice, L.A belong to us!
LAPD's policy on the VSA's Community Watch of The Venice Sk8prk is unfair,unproductive and anti social. Jesse myself and other volunteers clean gaffitti, tagging, trash and other crap out of the skate-park every morning, It is clear the LAPD cannot or will not secure the sk8prk against vandleism.The LAPD evicted the VSA from observing/watching the park against this type of action but allow homeless vagrants every night to misuse the sk8park and surrounding area. Let us examine a peculiar quandry.Why do the police ask citizens to be responsible and be pro-active on their official web sites(neighborhood watch) and policy, when in fact LAPD has prohibited the activity? Why are productive citizens being discouraged from participating in protecting and beautifying our community? (as this is a constant request of government). We are in the midst of a great depression if you somehow were caught unaware. The community despreatly needs investment from within as well as from established resources.If we are prohibited as citizens and a community from striving to become self sufficiant and provide the community proper guidance, instruction, care and be a "Shinning Light on the Hill" to others we are doomed to destruction.

As 2017 comes to a close, we're taking a look back at the top stories on Around the O. For the Campus News and Workplace sections, it was a year of people — from new hires and special guests to recognizing our colleagues on campus.
1. UO lands top-flight brain scientist for two key roles
As part of a goal to hire more tenure-track faculty, the UO hired David A. McCormick of Yale University to head the university's Institute of Neuroscience and serve as co-director of the Neurons to Minds Cluster of Excellence alongside UO psychology professor Ulrich Mayr. The story of his beloved canine companion was also among the most-read workplace news stories in 2017.
Quote: "In the next 10 years, we are going to need 'team science' to answer big questions about how the brain works… I see a lot of potential toward achieving that at the UO." —David McCormick
Additional top Workplace and Campus News stories from 2017:
UO campus will remain open Aug. 21 during total solar eclipse
Provost announces the recipients of Faculty Excellence Awards
Employees encouraged to be informed about possible PERS changes
2. University of Houston associate dean to lead UO law school
An expert in property law, land use law and federal natural resources who served in President Barack Obama's administration was tapped to lead the UO School of Law. Marcilynn Burke was previously an associate dean and associate professor at the University of Houston Law Center.
Quote: "Being able to join the school in this role is exhilarating for many reasons, with working alongside such great peers topping that list. With highly ranked programs in environmental law, legal writing and dispute resolution, UO feels like a natural fit for me." —Marcilynn Burke
3. Jayanth R. Banavar named provost and senior vice president
Jayanth R. Banavar, a distinguished physicist and dean at the University of Maryland, joined the University of Oregon as provost and senior vice president over the summer. As the chief academic officer, Banavar pledged to use his experience in interdisciplinary collaboration to advance the university's scholarly and research mission.
Quote: "I look forward to sharing my passion for academic excellence with the talented and diverse students, staff and faculty who have helped position the University of Oregon among the best public research universities in the nation." —Jayanth Banavar
4. UO's new College of Design will put the focus on creativity
With an eye to the future, the UO renamed and reorganized the school formerly known as "triple A" into the new College of Design. The change, vetted by the design school community, university leadership and the University Senate, includes a new structure round four disciplines.
Quote: "As the home of creativity at the UO, the new College of Design will unlock our ability to achieve new levels of success, building on a tradition of innovation dating back over 100 years. Our new name signals a shared commitment to creative problem-solving, original thinking and real-world engagement." —Christoph Lindner
5. Knight Campus will begin to take shape with selection of architects
News of the Knight Campus taking shape was the top Around the O story of 2017. Each story about new developments — such as the selection of the architects, hire of the Oregon-based construction firm, selection of Robert Guldberg as executive director and the release of the designs — were among the most read Campus News stories of 2017.
Quote: "One of the many things we are excited about with this selection is Bora and Ennead's focus on sustainable practices, as well as their emphasis on a collaborative design process that centers on 'place' and environmental context." —Patrick Phillips
6. Presidential Fund for Excellence
President Michael Schill started the academic year with major news of a $50 million anonymous gift dedicated to investing in academic excellence. Schill identified five initiatives to fund, including data science , Black Cultural Center programing, the Oregon Research Schools Network, matching funds for faculty chair positions, and the Media Center for Science and Technology.
Quote: "Through this extraordinary gift, these donors have provided the means to foster innovation and maximize our ability to create lasting and important benefits for the people of Oregon and our world, and to inspire other donors to do the same." —President Michael Schill
7. Ta-Nehisi Coates gets real about racism at sold-out Knight Arena
The outspoken activist and celebrated author of "Between the World and Me," the 2016-17 UO Common Reading selection spoke to a sold-out Matthew Knight Arena in early 2017 as part of the UO's African American Speaker Series. Coates touched on a number of issues that surfaced in the year prior about racism, social justice and the African-American experience.
Quote: "When people talk about slavery, they speak like it was a mistake somebody made while everything else was going great, … a bump on the road. Slavery isn't a bump. Slavery is the road. There is no America without the enslavement of African-Americans." —Ta-Nehisi Coates
8. President announces Deady Hall decision, new cultural center
In 2017, the UO continued to work on meeting the demands of the Black Student Task Force, including creating a new academic residential community and fundraising for a Black Cultural Center. At the start of the year, President Michael Schill announced the new center and his decision not to rename Deady Hall. Later in the year, former Dunn Hall was renamed for celebrated black alumni DeNorval Unthank Junior.
Quote: "Bigotry and racism have no place in our society or in our university. It is vital that all students at the University of Oregon feel valued and included as part of this institution." —President Michael Schill
9. UOPD warns that scammers are making fake kidnapping calls
The families of at least two local college students received fake but frightening kidnapping ransom calls at the start of 2017. The phone scams had been reported around the country, but this was the first report involving local students. The UO Police Department warned campus community members and families not to fall for the extortion attempts and offered advice on what to do if a person receives such a call.
A story about the UO's first African-American student and her involvement in the civil rights movement anchored a multimedia story about Black History Month at the UO. The story featured several current students, an advisor and a professor of ethnic studies who reflected on the significance of celebrating and recognizing the blacks and black culture in American history.
Quote: "Black history gives us examples of incredible ingenuity and creativity and the ability to imagine a future that is greater than the sum of our past." —Brandon Parry, 2014 graduate, freshman interest group advisor

I finally figured out why Gibby is very important. Today was a helluva day. My mother woke up feeling fine this morning. She ate her cereal and was cheerful and pleasant - then she drank her orange juice and the world turned upside down. I think it was the acid in the orange juice.
I've been buying acid-free orange juice, but last week I went to Costco and saw a good deal on 10 ounce bottles of orange juice. I thought the little bottles would be great for Mother, who usually sips at any drink for hours on end - so, I bought a case. I tried a bottle on the way home and immediately felt sick to my stomach. I took some antacids and felt a little better, and then took antacids all day. Since I have GERD, I figured that orange juice just wasn't for me - so I gave it to my mother.
Mother felt sick almost right away. I gave her some pills for her stomach and thought she'd be better soon. Wrong. At lunchtime, I gave her some homemade chicken vegetable noodle soup, and she ate a few sips. Then she told me, "I have smallpox, isn't the doctor coming?" Well, there's no way to explain to Mother that doctors don't make house calls anymore, but I did tell her she couldn't have smallpox, that she had been vaccinated. My mother likes to argue, especially when she doesn't feel well, and today qualified. She was argumentative for the rest of the day. When it was time to go to the farm, I was so exhausted I even thought about not going.
I postponed the time to go and took a quick nap for half an hour - with only a few interruptions from Mother asking for a kleenex, her electric "cart", and her blankets. When I finally left for the farm, I was grinding my teeth with exhaustion and irritation both with my mother and myself.
I began to relax the minute I saw the cat on the farm driveway gatepost, but I really relaxed when I saw Gibby. I think all of his frolicking and running and chasing in the snow is so funny, and I think he enjoys my thinking that - if I really watch him, he gets funnier. After a few minutes of watching Gibby make himself into a snowplow, my world has turned right side up and fallen back into place, and I'm ready to go back and answer my mother's calls for help. Gibby really is a gift!

We had a thought provoking wrap-up discussion to Brian McLaren's Everything Must Change Tour and book last night at the Gino's East in downtown Wheaton. We started by asking if everything must change, how will that be accomplished? Where do we start? What can we do, specifically, practically? And is it just hopeless to think that our small efforts are really going to make much difference ultimately in the face of such a broken, suicidal system?
We share a number of specific steps that several of us have taken, from buying more ethically, to eating organic or vegetarian as much as possible, to reducing consumption. We talked about getting veggie oil conversions on cars, and speculated about whether someone in the west suburbs could set up an operation to make it easier for people to do the conversions and get access to used veggie oil. We talked about the difficulty of even knowing what options are out there for living more ethically and making a difference, and about the need to start collecting information and websites to make them more accessible. Our up/rooted.south group has had the idea of collecting information about all the local social justice/missional projects around the Chicago area that people can plug into, and our up/rooted.west group talked about possibly doing something similar with ethical buying websites & stores - just collecting a database of resources.
We also veered a little bit into the theoretical/theological as we wondered how to balance hope in the kingdom as a present reality versus a recognition that we cannot bring the kingdom about through our own efforts and ingenuity. Jen Pare suggested that we needed an "active pessimism", i.e. a pessimism about our ability to bring about ultimate justice or compassion through government or activism or whatever, but at the same time a dedication to serve and be active anyway. In other words, we need to do our part and be faithful to living out the message of the kingdom, even if when it all seems utterly fruitless.
We also talked about upcoming plans for up/rooted over the summer, and it was suggested that perhaps we'd like to take several "field trips" to visit missional projects around the area. In other words, to go and observe and even participate in whatever ministries of compassion and justice that we are familiar with. If you have any ideas or suggestions bring them or up/rooted.west (or email them to us at email@example.com) during the next couple of months, and perhaps we can plan something for July and/or August.
For June we decided to have another communal cook-out where we can share more of our stories and reconnect on those personal levels. However, before that for our May gathering we want to discuss the topic of racial diversity in the emerging church. Our up/rooted.city coordinator, Rebecca, recently posted on this topic at her blog following the SCUPE conference, and the theme was then also picked up over at the Emergent Village weblog. I'd definitely recommend reading these posts in preparation for the gathering.
I'm also a bit uncomfortable about just having a bunch of white suburbanites sitting around talking about race, so I want to especially encourage those of your in our up/rooted network who are minorities to please make it a point to join us this time if you're at all able. We need your voices and your experience. Or, if you're not a minority, but you know of someone who is and who would understand and resonate with the emerging church church conversation, please invite them to join us as well.
We will meet Tuesday, May 20 @ 7pm at the Gino's East in downtown Wheaton again. Hope you can join us for this important conversation.
-Mike Clawson
up/rooted co-coordinator

Companies increasingly getting out of real estate game
About five months after the original sale of State Farm's west Greeley buildings, another new owner will take over the property, and the company will continue to lease its current space.
For State Farm, the practice of selling a company-owned building and then leasing it from the new owner — a sale leaseback — is happening across the country. Here in Weld County, other major corporations are using the same strategy, many say in an effort free up cash flow that would otherwise be locked in their properties.
"We didn't want to be in the real estate business," said Rosemary Hanratty, a spokeswoman for Startek, which sold its 1250 H Street building for $5 million earlier this year and continues to lease. "We don't need to own this real estate."
In addition to State Farm and Startek, several other major companies in Weld have sold their buildings and continued to lease. In February of last year, a California real estate investment group paid $15.05 million for the Greeley Medical Clinic's three buildings, which house 30-plus doctors. In February, Fiber Spar Corporation's 166,000-square-foot building in Johnstown sold for $19.2 million. Those companies continue to lease from the new owners.
State Farm sold the buildings on its Promontory campus in November to LSREF2Tractor REO LLC, an affiliate of Dallas-based Lone Star Funds. JDM Partners LLC purchased the property for $60.8 million earlier this month.
Amid rumors State Farm is looking to pull up roots across the country and relocate all offices to a hub in Tempe, Ariz., Angela Thorpe, a spokeswoman for the company, said the resale does not affect the current lease agreements in Greeley. Per the agreement set forth last year, the company is set to continue leasing at least part of the property in Greeley for the next 15 years.
"State Farm will serve customers from the Greeley Operations Center location and continue to lease, occupy, and maintain the buildings as we do today," Thorpe wrote in an email.
Thorpe added that the original decision to sell the building was part of the company's strategy to "use a flexible real estate strategy to allow us to meet changing customer needs and expectations."
Hanratty said Startek locations in other parts of the country also are choosing to lease space.
"That way you don't have to keep putting money back into the building," she said.
Gage Osthoff, a Realtec Commercial Real Estate Services broker in Greeley, said he's noticed more companies in the area using sale leasebacks recently, but each company's decision on that strategy is different.
"It's not necessarily a new trend, but maybe that's just new for the companies we have around here," he said.
