Often Women (and sometimes men) have a body image that is connected to the read out on the scales. I understand. I have a scale that measures accurately to the tenth of a point and I used to weigh nude every morning as part of my routine, like brushing my teeth. If the number moved the wrong direction in relation to the day before, it impacted my mood and made me feel like a failure. Unfortunately, the scale, if used or interpreted incorrectly, can unfairly assess your progress toward healthy fitness goals. So while perhaps it is not quite accurate to say the scales lie... they can certainly mislead.
The scales measure weight. That's it, just weight. So if you are dieting, (trying to lose weight) or muscle building (trying to gain weight), the scales are one of several tools to help you assess your progress. Remember, body weight includes muscles, fat, soft tissue and water. The scales alone cannot tell you how you look, how you feel, how your clothes fit or if you are healthy.
A number of #organizations ranging from US Metropolitan Life Insurance, Weight #Watchers and even the US Army have published tables of recommended weights by age and gender. Despite the existence of recommended weight charts, each person is different and personal goals and activity level should be considered in the overall assessment of health.
Tables of recommended weights are designed to be guidelines around which to assess health not a strict set of numbers to achieve. Another common metric based on measurement of weight is the Body Mass Index or BMI. This metric is simply a calculation of height and weight which is better than weight alone but still forms an incomplete picture. (BMI formula is body weight in pounds times 703 divided my height in inches, squared.) For a BMI calculator go to http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/BMI/bmicalc.htm.
For several years I directed workplace wellness programs where employees are encouraged to complete a health risk appraisal annually including biometric testing. Many employers now require employees with a body mass index over a certain level (usually 27 or 28) to participate in additional classes, coaching or exercise programs to qualify for discounts on health insurance premiums. I support these programs as, in general, they promote awareness of health risks and often motivate employees to make needed lifestyle changes. However, these programs need to include the flexibility to include other factors such a body fat percent and key body #measurements.
If your body is not the body you want (too skinny, too fat, overweight or obese) and you want to improve your health, how you feel and your longevity; you likely need to start (or continue) a fitness program. Assess where you are (because no matter what- you need to deal from the deck of reality) and imagine where you would like to look like, feel like, etc. Then put a plan in place that will take you there. Get a coach if you need it, but just begin. Set milestone goals and measure the relevant metrics periodically to assess your progress. Don't weigh yourself every day unless you have a medical condition that requires fluid management.

History of Political Philosophy
History of Political Philosophy
Today "political philosophy" has become almost synonymous with "ideology," not to say "myth." It surely is understood in contradistinction to "political science." The distinction between political philosophy and political science is a consequence of the fundamental distinction between philosophy and science. Even this fundamental distinction is of relatively recent origin. Traditionally, philosophy and science were not distinguished: natural science was one of the most important parts of philosophy. The great intellectual revolution of the seventeenth century which brought to light modern natural science was a revolution of a new philosophy or science against traditional (chiefly Aristotelian) philosophy or science. But the new philosophy or science was only partly successful. The most successful part of the new philosophy or science was the new natural science. By virtue of its victory, the new natural science became more and more independent of philosophy, at least apparently, and even, as it were, became an authority for philosophy. In this way the distinction between philosophy and science became generally accepted, and eventually also the distinction between political philosophy and political science as a kind of natural science of political things. Traditionally, however, political philosophy and political science were the same.
Political philosophy is not the same as political thought in general. Political thought is coeval with political life. Political philosophy, however, emerged within a particular political life, in Greece, in that past of which we have written records. According to the traditional view, the Athenian Socrates (469-399 B.C.) was the founder of political philosophy. Socrates was the teacher of Plato, who in his turn was the . . .

It went great. Kids who played, baby who only squawked a little, and tummies were filled. A win all the way around. Thanks Chick-fil-a. You are the only place I would take my littles all by myself. I know, it was your pleasure, but it sure was a pleasure for me too!
Somehow we found ourselves at the new Wacky Tacky (think McDonald's play land times a million) three times. How could we say no when friends extended an invitation?
We're in that place where naps sure help with the evening grumpiness, but they also contribute to later bedtimes. And with this mama on her own right now, I'm always aiming for an early bedtime.
p.s. I love going in and checking on my little ones while they sleep.
Both boys are still cavity free and the hygienist was so impressed that this three year old held so super still for his x-rays.
Sometimes there's perks to going shopping with Mom. It was too early for pizza at Costco, but no one complained about snacking on a churro.
I taught Joy School right before Valentine's Day. We had a little party and each of the kids decorated their own cookie.
My seventh Joy Schooler was especially excited about all of those sprinkles.
And almost immediately after taking this picture it all slid off the plate onto the floor. I'm still finding sprinkles in the kitchen.
Noah got 'drafted' to the Nationals. He's excited for a new team and new season...if it ever stops raining.
I'm so grateful for those quick, quiet moments a midst the chaos where I am reminded that our life is so good and our blessings are countless. I was cleaning up the kitchen and looked over at this scene and that reminder came to me in the most crystal clear way.
I've said it before, but he sure loves this sister.
Noah sneaks in some time with Leah too, usually trying to be silly.
I caught Noah in the bathroom one morning checking himself out.
Noah has been quite the builder and creator. Here he made an 'alligator human.'
And later he built a sea turtle.
Just when I think Luke is for sure a lefty he switches hands again. This time around I caught him using a crayon in each hand. It sure makes for efficient coloring.
Nate spent three weeks in LA. After an already late work night this super dad drove another half hour to Downtown Disney to find something his Disneyland loving boys might like.
The boys picked out their own flowers to plant, water and take care of. Easier than a pet and I reap the benefits of having flowers in the front yard pots!
We've all been Leah's cheering section when she does tummy time.
She's getting better and better every day at holding up that heavy head.

The Good News that Almost Was for U.S. Offshore Wind Advocates
The United States is woefully behind other developed nations in its development of the huge renewable energy source that has been proven to be successfully tapped by offshore wind farms.
"3,018.5 MW of new offshore wind power capacity was connected to the grid during 2015 in Europe, a 108.3% increase over 2014 and the biggest yearly addition to capacity to date," according to WindEurope.
The Long Island Power Authority had "plans to approve a 90 megawatt wind farm off the coast of New York that would become the largest in the U.S. when completed," reported Chris Martin, cleantech & renewable energy reporter for Bloomberg News, on July 14.
Deepwater Wind LLC was selected to install 15 offshore turbines about 30 miles (48 kilometers) east of Montauk for a project that the utility's board expects to approve at a meeting on July 20, said Sid Nathan, a spokesman for the state-owned utility, which is operated by Public Service Enterprise Group Inc.
Montauk, located at the tip of the eastern end of the south shore of Long Island, juts into the Atlantic Ocean.
"But late Tuesday, LIPA trustees abruptly postponed their Wednesday meeting, citing a request by the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority to hold off until Albany releases an 'offshore-wind master plan' that further defines the state's clean-energy standards," reports Gregory Zeller for Innovate Long Island.
New York's Clean Energy Standard, currently under development [PDF], is also referred to as a Renewable Portfolio Standard.
The project, known as the South Fork Wind Farm, will "provide early support to the Town of East Hampton's long-term goal of achieving 100 percent renewable energy use by 2030," according to Deepwater Wind.
"The delay takes some wind out of the sails of a project that was breezing toward history," adds Zeller.
The plan has also been endorsed by environmentalists and by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who's set an ambitious goal of supplying 50 percent of New York's electricity through renewable sources by 2030. Prior to the trustees' postponement, Cuomo urged the LIPA board to approve the offshore plan, noting its environmental and economic advantages.
California has the same goal, though it was also codified with the passage of SB 350 last year.
Heather Leibowitz, director of citizen-based advocacy group Environment New York, called LIPA's approval "key" to meeting Cuomo's 2030 goals and "to putting the Empire State on a path toward an economy powered entirely by renewable energy." [See study supporting a 100 percent renewable goal by 2030.].
The delay is the second in as many months. "The state is expected to unveil its wind-energy strategy within the next few weeks," adds Zeller.
South Fork Wind Farm can be confused with the larger Deepwater ONE project, "located roughly halfway between Montauk, N.Y., and Martha's Vineyard, Mass., with the potential for more than 1,000 MW of offshore wind development," according to the company's website. The larger project was rejected by LIPA in December 2014.
Good news for Block Island Wind Farm
Deepwater Wind's other project, the Block Island Wind Farm, which we last reported as being under construction, was the subject of a lawsuit filed by the Rhode Island Manufacturers Association and others that charged it would raise utility rates. The suit was dismissed because the statute of limitations had passed, reports the Associated Press on July 18.
The 30 megawatt, five-turbine is expected to begin operation later this year, producing renewable energy for Rhode Island. It "is part of an ambitious multi-state strategy to ultimately generate 1,000 MW of electricity with environmentally friendly wind farms off the coasts of New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts," adds Zeller.

Happy Monday! I wanted to share with you today two cards I made where I used different copic colours to shade my snowmen. I have been asked what colours to use so I hope this helps.
The first card is using Winter Snowman from Whipper Snapper stamps which as you may know from reading my blog is one of my top 3 favourite stamp companies. If you like to colour like I do then these stamps are a match made in heaven. Everyone should own some! Trust me! :) On this card I used BG's (blue greens) to give the snow a cool blue undertone. I only used 2 colours- BG0000 and BG10. Oh and my blender pen. I used BG10 to draw a thin line in the areas I wanted to show dimension and then went over the area in thicker lines with the BG0000. I then used my blender pen about halfway into my coloured area and just did a few swooshing sweeps towards the centre of the image to have the colour gradually fade to just white.
This card is using Jingle-balls and I used C's (cool greys) to add my shading. I used C00, C1 and C3. I followed the same process as above. I added a very thin line of C3, then colouring overtop of that line and a little farther out with C1 and then going over both of those colours with C00. Again I used my blender pen to pull the grey to the centre of the image to help it gradually fade. Please note when you first colour it you may be unhappy with it and think it's too dark. Just set it aside and let it dry for a bit before you play with it anymore. I found after the paper dried it lightened up quite a bit and made it not look too harsh.
I hope you like my cards and that I helped you with your winter cards and your colouring of that tricky white stuff. Have a great day everyone! Cheers- Andrea xoxo

Any project that needs to be done needs to be planned well to ensure success. Installing a pool deck will affect your life significantly. It is important to have something you won't regret investing in and something you would be able to value for many years. To achieve this, you must have the following prepared before installation begins:
1. Wish List
First off, make a wishlist of the things you want in a pool deck. Just pour your heart out and list down everything. You may make the list with the family so as to include their wishes as well. After the list has been made, decide which ones are feasible and practical.
2. Set a Budget
Check your finances first. Once you have determined how much you can set aside for the pool deck installation project, make sure you stick to it. This is one of the things you need to keep in mind when refining your wish list. If a certain feature costs too much, find a more inexpensive alternative or cross it out from the list for good.
3. Do Your Research
Research the features you have listed and check designs that would work best for you and your family. Check out some concrete pool deck ideas, innovative materials and designs. Research on their pros and cons. Find a local contractor who can handle the job at a reasonable rate. If you have certain questions, like how long a certain overlay dries or what customization options are available, research on those, too. Research on safety measures, too, especially if you have kids and pets. Some need to be installed at the same time as the deck itself, such as railings, gates, non-skid surfaces, and more.
4. Check the Weather Forecast
Scheduling the pool deck installation project requires more than just choosing a date and time. Since the project will be done outdoors, the weather must be good enough to prevent issues and delays. Check the local weather station for a forecast. Check the days when fine weather is most likely. Stay updated about any incoming storm, as well.
5. Discuss with an Insurance Agent
Before starting the project, it is important to check with your insurance company. There are certain additions that could affect homeowners insurance. Even if yours doesn't, it is still important to mention the project to get the professional opinion or advice of your agent.
6. Secure the Permits
Check local departments in charge of building permits. Make sure that you have a copy of the policies the city has established to make sure that every aspect of the pool deck will be aligned.

THE PUNJAB police have relied on social media platforms to build its sedition case against radical Sikh outfits that had organised the Sarbat Khalsa (Sikh congregation) at Amritsar on November 10. According to the FIR registered on Friday, the station house officer (SHO) at the Chittiwind Police Station in Amritsar district has collected video clips of the event, which was streamed on the internet, and allegedly found that speeches delivered from stage "not only spread communal hate but were also aimed at hurting national integrity, sovereignty".
"As a result of the speeches made from the stage, supporters raised slogans to spread hatred in different groups and sects and hoisted anti-country flags. Incited by the speeches, some supporters raised communal and anti-country slogans while going back to their homes after conclusion of event. This act of supporters created an environment of fear and communalism among the common people. Investigation found that the environment of fear has been created among the people (sic)," the FIR reads.
The FIR also mentions the messages read out on stage. "At the gathering, Papalpreet Singh Marari read a provocative message from dangerous jailed terrorist of Babar Khalsa Narain Singh Chaura. In the same event, one more dangerous convicted terrorist Jagtar Singh Hawara was appointed Jathedar of Akal Takht," it states.
Police have also based their claims of ISI links to the event on a letter, allegedly put out on social media by Babbar Khalsa International chief Wadhawa Singh Babbar.
"Self-styled chief of terrorist organisation Babbar Khalsa International, Wadhawa Singh Babbar, who is living in Pakistan and working with ISI to execute anti-India activities, has thanked (the Sarbat Khalsa) for appointing Jagtar Singh Hawara as Akal Takht Jathdera via a open letter on social media. He has provoked youth for armed freedom struggle and teach a lesson to anti-Panthic elements (sic)," the sedition FIR reads.
The FIR names a number of NRI leaders as well. Those who have been named include Simranjit Singh Mann, Dhyan Singh Mand, Jasjarn Singh Kahan Singh Wala, Mohkam Singh and Gurdeep Singh Bathinda.

No More Coffee
Government Bans Coffee Shops
Reuter: After shutting down Dance bars throughout Maharashtra last year, the state government has now turned its attention to Mumbai's espresso bars. In yet another controversial decision, the state has passed a bill banning coffee shops based on the theory that they are breeding grounds for prostitution.
"Young men and women spend hours at these places," said a minister. "Are they under the impression that we don't understand what they are doing? If they want coffee, they can make it at home. What do they come to these bars for?" Another claimed that the youth of the nation "should be at home studying or praying at a temple. Such behaviour is spoiling our culture."
When asked what they would do once the ban came into effect, some coffee shop owners said they would start selling tea instead. "But what will I do?" cried BJ, owner of the internet-cafe-cum-coffee-shop BlogLand. "Most of my customers don't like tea!"
After this latest ban, observers are wondering what will be next on the government's agenda.
Well, it could happen.

Fact: I never knew how beautiful I am until I saw my reflection light your eyes.
Fact: and now that you turned your back squeezing your eyes leaving mine open, hurt, vulnerable, I will not let the rejection of your love and lust for me demolish the love and appreciation for the beauty I breathe I speak I write I paint I laugh I cry I listen I learn I learn I learn I am: living running glowing freely breathing one step two step liberating heart beating falling out of chest like thump- nobody- thump thump- can love me-thump- nobody- thump thump– without leaving me. But then I reach the summit and down I soar, shooting star steering with two compass rose petal feet protecting my direction as my own, unbeknown to me, the first feeling in too long of a liberating alone. If loving me at my worst is easier than loving me at my strongest because one day, you or otherwise, i know the best in me will inspire the best in my be'sheret growing alone and growing together, the best in me brings out the best in him too.
Fact: I was taught to love, love fully, and left– like all the men who have told me they loved, left once again, though not through joint and not kin, a more hurtful left because I was so honestly me at my craziest core and he said it was beautiful, he said I am art, he said I am living breathing art, and then left. Now deliberately it is declared he shall try to love me no more, and here I am trying to trace my steps and see just where unlovable lies in my own being to make a once hopeless romantic tick tock time bomb explode my ability to trust anyone ever again because I always get fucked and still I see something that I am so proud of in me: he may have introduced me to my capacity to love, my spirituality, my soulstres beauty, the music I see in the leaves that weaves and bob in the baseline of the anthem he heeds, Shine On, and though you retract 'i love you', take away 'baby' all away from me in a surprise and an episode that remains somewhat a mystery, I will Shine On. Because I am a strong young woman, I am a rose in the concrete I am a seed and if our love was a growing tree, that you chose to chop down so willingly, you cannot will not have not don't think for one second you harm the seed in me, because I will resurrect stronger more brilliant more knowing -maybe less trusting- but stronger nonetheless and my smile will ignite fireworks under a Chilean harvest moon and my laugh will harmonize with bells ringing in skies of Istanbul and my love will heal and my love will grow back and my life is mine and I am living; and my life is learning and I am learning; and my knowledge of my own abilities is limited by my timidity to take a step into the territory of pushing my limits my lovely lovely limits–could it be that there lies so much uncharted territory because of the safety comfort tranquility of loving you led me to risk not taking the risks life offered me, the biggest risk of all. And while i wonder i wait for the memories to infiltrate the night you slept in this bed of mine, my bed, by my side that first night when we looked at photographs and hiked through trench and got to know each other bit by bit. Of the airport roof when we declared our love for the first time out loud. Of the ring you gave me that reads i love you. Of JJ bear. Of jingle jangle jamz. Of all the time you fed me and quenched my thirst with the song of your voice to lullaby my restless sleepless self into slumber hearts beating and sound sound slumber. The one thing that I never could do, leave behind you, because you were my north star and wherever you were your voice your tone your touch your moan your eyes your smiling eyes and your love made my heart at home. But since you broke it off, and you say i am no longer the subject you want to swoon and muse and love and be loved I have no choice but to splash cold water on my face and remember what my friends are saying:
"Emily, he doesn't want to be your boyfriend; He doesn't even want to be with you. If he wanted you to be his girlfriend, he he wanted you at all, he'd make it work. He doesn't want you anymore." the hardest fucking perspective I've ever swallowed and accepted and said in my head 'Owww motherfuckinggoddamit oww, but, breathe, be, and be well, and be alive more fully than ever before because now I will see the stardust in my trail as i shine on.'
I don't know how to cope gracefully so i imagine the goddesses in stories i admire and am to emulate their sacred feminine and maybe one day graceful ill be.

Andrew Yarme and Jo Scofield are a busy pair. He is a freelance film sound recordist and she is a producer and director of wildlife documentaries. They have two teenage child-ren, Jasper and Luca, and a springer spaniel called Ernie, and take it in turns to be at home with them while hoping to overlap as often as possible. They share a passion for travel, particularly in Africa, and since 2011 Scofield has run From the Tribe, a company that sells handmade products from Kenya and Nigeria.
Although much of their working life is spent in any number of exotic locations, their home is in Bristol in a flat in an area of 18th-century squares and crescents close to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. A flight of stone steps leads from the pavement to a modest door below the elegantly pilastered front door of a grand, terrace house. Theirs is the servants' entrance, unadorned and architecturally inferior. But before you can indulge in even the tiniest twinge of envy for the people living upstairs, with their high ceilings and grand fireplaces, you find yourself welcomed into a home that is so unlikely, so unusual, and so far from anything you have seen before in a city that the twinge is instantly exchanged for delight and surprise.
What is not immediately apparent is that this terrace of houses is built on a steep piece of land at the top of the gorge that plunges down to the Avon. Entering the house at one level below the pavement, through the hall and the kitchen, you emerge from French doors at the back on to a wide expanse of paving that seems suspended in mid-air with a view of distant woodland.
The location is spectacular, and so is the layout, which spans the lower floors of two houses, giving that unusual city luxury of lateral space. The main rooms – an office at one end, opening into the living room, which in turn leads into the kitchen, beyond which is the master bedroom – stretch across the long rear elevation with its row of six sash windows and two French windows. A large utility room and boot room, two bathrooms and the children's rooms lie behind, on the pavement side of the flat.
To access the garden you need to descend a flight of stairs just inside the entrance hall and pass through the cellar on to a lawn that is nearly two storeys below street level. From here, the garden descends down and down again, until you reach a wall that marks its boundary way below the house.
When the flat came on to the market in 2010 for the first time in 50 years, it was a hot property despite having ancient electrics, no heating and plastic taped across the windows as a draught-proofing device. Scofield and Yarme were not the highest bidders, but their offer was accepted because the owners wanted to sell to a family with children. When they took possession, they immediately set to work pulling up carpets and stripping off wallpaper and finding 'years and years of amazing paintwork underneath', much of which they have retained.
The garden became a group effort. 'It is too big for us to manage on our own,' Scofield explains. 'So we decided to offer allotments to friends and neighbours, and also space for beehives. The slope was utterly overgrown, and everything had to be done by hand because of the difficulty of access.' Inspired by the viewing terraces of African game lodges, they built a decking platform on one of the lower levels, fitted around the trunk of an old apple tree. Furnished with a barbecue and chairs, this wooden island is a private suntrap floating in a sea of leaves and branches, with a view across to the other side of the gorge and Leigh Woods. Sitting here on a summer evening, you almost expect to hear the shriek of a monkey or catch sight of a parrot's tail feathers. You might even fancy that the faint background noise is the sound of tumbling rapids, and not the rumble of traffic on the road along the river below.
Eighteen months ago they started work on the next stage of their project: a wooden cabin further up the garden above this platform. Built by a local carpenter and fitted out using reclaimed materials, this is the ultimate den, with a double bed, a tiny kitchen, a wood-burning stove, a shower, and a gloriously verdant view. As in the flat, many of the furnishings are African, including mugs, wooden plates and bowls, carved stools and a pair of beaded armchairs, of the sort made by the Yoruba tribe as thrones for their kings and queens. The place is alive with creativity and activity. If it weren't so laidback, it would be exhausting.
The deck (main picture, top)
The deck, which overlooks Avon Gorge, is constructed around an old apple tree and furnished with wooden planters chairs and a barbecue. The peace, privacy and greenery is all the more extraordinary given the property's city location. The cabin has commanding views across the garden and the valley below.
It was built by a local carpenter, Dan James, to Andrew Yarme and Jo Scofield's design. Although diminutive and quirky due to its construction from reclaimed and recycled wood including part of an old ladder used as a ceiling storage rack, the kitchen is well-equipped, with a double electric hob, a fridge and a sink with hot and cold running water. Ensuring the cabin is as cosy on a chilly spring or autumn evening as it is cool on a hot summer night, there is a wood-burning stove. A pair of Yoruba beaded thrones are positioned to make the best of the view, and there is an old Dansette record player with a supply of vinyl records by way of musical entertainment, plus some board games and a few books. On the far side of the cabin there is a view of the part of the garden that the couple have divided into allotments. The table for two is made from reclaimed wood mounted on the base of an old treadle sewing machine, and the beaded enamel mugs are African. Behind the door on the left is a fully plumbed-in flushing lavatory, made possible by the discovery that a drain runs directly beneath the cabin.
The kitchen
A redundant doorway into the kitchen has been converted to make a self-contained 'coffee corner' complete with coffee grinder, coffee maker and cupboards beneath. Scofield found the round table in a Devon flea market for £50 some years ago. The chairs are a Danish design bought from Designers Guild and were more expensive. Hanging on the back of the door are aprons and bags made by Scofield using printed African cottons. She stripped the floorboards and stained them black herself, and she and Yarme commissioned a kitchen in cherrywood from a local company, Thomas Brown Design, with concrete surfaces by the designer-maker Ryan Broom. Scofield decided to leave the walls above the picture rail stripped but unpainted.
The main rooms
Looking from the study across the living room and into the kitchen gives an idea of the width of the two houses whose lower-ground floors combine to make this flat. Furnishings are a rich cultural mix and include a wooden statue bought from a street market in India, a Victorian chaise longue, and a contemporary L-shaped sofa upholstered in sand-coloured corduroy. Beyond the kitchen wall is the master bedroom (below). Like the upper walls of the kitchen, the wall behind the bed in the main bedroom has been left unpainted, the grid pattern of later battening still visible in the mottled layers of colour.
The terrace
The kitchen door opens on to a broad stone terrace that in summer the family use as an outdoor living and dining space. Furnishings include beaded chairs made by the west African Yoruba tribe, which Scofield sells through her company From the Tribe, and a hammock, above which hangs an outdoor lantern handmade in Kenya from iron and canvas. A safari camping shower is suspended from the veranda, perfect for cooling off on hot days.
The bathroom
This is the room they have most recently finished and features an antique French bathtub bought on eBay. The study features a photograph of Andrew and Jo, and a picture of their two children, both now teenagers, displayed in frames made by homeless people in South African townships using recycled and scrap wood.

A thorough analysis of the data reveals that American colleges and universities are increasingly bloated with administrative bureaucracies. The composition of the higher education workforce has shifted dramatically in favor of administrative and support staff in recent years, substantially outpacing the growth in enrollment. College expenditures on administration and support services have grown at a much faster rate than education expenditures, resulting in a less efficient workforce. Despite a lack of clear performance measures, this workforce is very well compensated. This trend suggests that institutional priorities have shifted from research and providing an education to empire-building. The following chapter provides a compelling case that schools need to reduce their administrative staffs in order to make college more affordable.
Composition of the Workforce
The administrative bureaucracy on college campuses is comprised of two main classifications of employees: (1) executive, administrative or managerial and (2) other professionals, or noninstruction-related support staff. Combined, these two classifications of employees made up 26.1 percent of the total workforce (31.6 percent of full-time equivalent employees) at colleges in 2007, an increase of 15.2 percent (a 19.4 percent increase for FTE) from 1997.
Table 6.1 displays the total and FTE staff by occupation at degree-granting institutions, in terms of both absolute and percentage of staff, in Fall 1997 and Fall 2007. Table 6.2 shows the percentage change, in terms of the absolute number and composition of the workforce, for the total and FTE staff between the two periods.
Job Growth at Colleges
Using the IPEDS Fall Staff Surveys data collected for a previously released CCAP report,136 a sample of 2,782 institutions revealed that colleges added 690,373 full-time equivalent (518,489 full-time; 515,651 part-time) jobs between 1987 and 2007, an increase of 39 percent (33% FT; 85% PT). Of this increase, 51.6 percent of the new positions were either managerial or support staff (356,347 FTE jobs), whereas only 47.1 percent were instructional (325,029 FTE jobs). Figure 6.1 shows the aggregate nominal increase in jobs at the colleges included in the sample between 1987 and 2007, by occupation and status.139 FTE instruction and management positions each increased by 53 percent during the period (36% vs. 53% FT employees, respectively; 113% vs. 43% PT employees, respectively), whereas FTE support staff increased by 100 percent during the period (101 % FT; 81 % PT).
The growth of non-instructional staff is so fast that if these job growth trends were to continue, the number of managers and support staff (administration) at 4-year not-for-profit colleges would outnumber instructors by 2014. Using the average annual percentage increase between 1997 and 2007 for each of the three job categories (managers, support staff and instructors) as the respective rate of growth and combining support staff and managers into one category as administration, figure 6.2 shows the job growth projection for the combined 4-year public and private not-for-profit institutions that were included in the sample.
Growth of Administrative Staff Relative to Enrollment
While the previous section discussed the growth of college administrations in absolute terms over the past twenty years, colleges have also experienced a growth in enrollment during the period. Therefore, a measure of administrative growth relative to enrollment is perhaps more appropriate. Figure 6.3 displays, by sector, the ratio of FTE administrative employees141 per 100 FTE students in 1987, 1997 and 2007. This ratio has increased over each time period for all four of the sectors mentioned. The private not-for profit 4-year institutions had the highest ratio of FTE administrative employees per 100 FTE students, 9.3 in 2007, an increase of 30.2 percent since 1987. The public 4-year institutions had a ratio of 7.5 in 2007, an increase of 38.2 percent over twenty years. The private not-for profit 2-year institutions had a ratio of 7.0 in 2007, an increase of 47.8 percent since 1987. The public 2-year institutions had a ratio of 2.1 in 2007, an increase of 36.4 percent over twenty years. Thus, it is clear that the growth of administrative employees has occurred not only in absolute terms, but also relative to enrollment.
Spending Trends Indicate a Shift in Priorities
The data in the previous sections described the shift in the composition of the higher education workforce towards administrative and support staff and the growth in these positions. These trends suggest that college staffs are increasingly inflated with administrative personnel. A report released by the Delta Cost Project (DCP) suggests that the growth of college bureaucracies has resulted in a shift in institutional priorities away from instruction. Table 6.3 displays education and related expenses (E&R) spending by educational category and institutional sector on a per FTE student basis as well as a share of total E&R spending in 1995 and 2006, as reported by DCP.
In absolute dollars, E&R spending (which is comprised of instruction, student services, and some administration spending) on instruction increased between 1996 and 2006 in all six sectors; however, as a share of all E&R spending, it declined in all six. Additional resources were disproportionately allocated to student services and administrative support, which increased in both absolute and relative terms in all six sectors.
In the public research sector, combined spending per FTE student on student services and administrative support grew 15.5 percent, or by 1.5 percentage points as a share of total E&R spending. The public master's sector experienced an increase of 20.5 percent in combined spending per FTE student on student services and administrative support, or an increase of 3 percentage points as a share of total E&R spending. In the public community college sector, combined spending per FTE student on student services and administrative support grew 18.7 percent, or by 2.6 percentage points as a share of total E&R spending.
In the private research sector, combined spending per FTE student on student services and administrative support grew 49.5 percent, or by 4.3 percentage points as a share of total E&R spending. The private master's sector experienced an increase of 30.9 percent in combined spending per FTE student on student services and administrative support, or an increase of 2 percentage points as a share of total E&R spending. For the private bachelor's sector, combined spending per FTE student on student services and administrative support grew 34.3 percent, or by 2 percentage points as a share of total E&R spending.
Administrative Salaries
Using the IPEDS 2007 Fall Staff Survey data, we were able to determine the number and percentage of administrative employees with salaries above $50,000, $65,000, $80,000 and $100,000 by institutional type. At doctorate/research universities, 58 percent of administrative employees (245,310) earned a salary above $50,000, with 9.9 percent (41,905) drawing a salary greater than $100,000. At master's colleges,150 48.9 percent of administrative employees (63,056) were paid a salary greater than $50,000, with 8.4 percent making more than $100,000 (10,787). At baccalaureate colleges, 42.5 percent of administrative employees (27,132) were paid more than $50,000, with 6.8 percent (4,328) taking home a salary above $100,000. Table 6.4 displays the earnings level of administrative staff by institutional level for fall 2007, with the number of schools included in parentheses.
The salaries of senior administrators increased by 4 percent in 2008-09, according to the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR), which conducts a series of annual salary surveys of college administrators. This was the third consecutive year at that rate, and the twelfth straight year that salary increases outpaced inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. CUPA-HR also conducts an annual survey which measures the salaries of midlevel administrators and found that their salaries increased by 3.5 percent in 2008-09,154 down slightly from the 3.9 and 3.8 percent increases received in the two prior years, respectively. Table 6.5 reveals the typical salary for senior and midlevel administrative workers by functional category and institutional type, as reported in the 2008-09 CUPA-HR salary survey.
The Case for Reducing Administrative Salaries
Administrative staff at colleges has grown in both absolute number and relative to student enrollments. The growth of administrative employees has outpaced that of faculty and instructors. If this trend were to continue in the future, administrative employees would outnumber instructors at 4-year colleges by 2014. Expenditures on education and related expenses are increasingly allocated to administrative and support services and less so to instruction, with expenditures on the former already outnumbering that of the latter in some sectors and approaching parity in the remainder. The majority (58%) of research/doctoral college administrative employees received a salary above $50,000, and nearly 10 percent were paid a six figure salary in 2007-08. In contrast, only 32 percent of individuals over the age of 25 in the U.S. workforce made more than $50,000 in 2007, while 7.7 percent of these individuals brought home $100,000 or more.
Administrative and support staffs in higher education should be reduced in order to lower the costs of providing a college education, to improve employee productivity, and to refocus the mission of colleges to the production and dissemination of knowledge.
Lower the Costs of Providing a College Education
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the nominal costs of attending college (tuition, fees, room and board) increased by 67 percent at public and 56 percent at private institutions between the 1995-96 and 2005-06 academic years. After accounting for inflation, these figures equate to real increases in the cost of attending college of 30 and 21 percent at public and private institutions, respectively. This amounts to an average annual real increase of 3 percent at public and 2.1 percent at private colleges.
The proliferation of university administrative and support staffs has contributed to this rapid rise in the cost of college. As discussed earlier, the number of such employees has grown substantially over the past two decades. The costs associated with having such a large administrative bureaucracy are substantial, including not only the salary figures previously mentioned, but also other forms of compensation (e.g. health and life insurances, retirement contributions, tuition discounts, and housing and car allowances for some senior officials).
Reducing the size and scope of the bureaucracy on campus by 5 percent would result in considerable savings – an estimated $1.78 billion, or $106 per student, at non-profit 2- and 4- year institutions in 2007 alone. Table 6.6 displays the estimated total and per student savings that would result from a 5 percent reduction in administrative staff in 2007 by sector, with the number of schools included in the calculation in parenthesis.
Improve Employee Productivity
The rapid rise in administrative staffs has resulted in a decline in employee productivity. The two main means of measuring output in higher education are number of students enrolled and the number of degrees awarded. Using these data points, it is possible to estimate two measures of administrative staff productivity: (1) students per administrative employee and (2) degrees awarded per administrative employee. In terms of enrollment, administrative employee productivity in the non-profit sectors declined by between 23.2 and 27.6 percent between 1987 and 2007.164 In terms of the number of degrees awarded, administrative employee productivity in the non-profit sectors declined by between 15.8 and 19.1 percent between 1987 and 2007. A small reduction (5 percent for instance) in administrative and support staff would increase productivity significantly.
Refocus the Mission of Colleges to the Production and Dissemination of Knowledge
As mentioned earlier, expenditures on administrative and student services have increased disproportionately compared to instruction, suggesting that institutional priorities have shifted away from their primary purpose of education. Adding credence to this argument is the fact than twice as many full-time administrative and support staff as full-time instructional positions were created between 1987 and 2007. Colleges have increasingly staffed classrooms with part-time adjunct instructors, who are paid a small fraction of their full-time counterparts' wages, often without any benefits. The savings associated with this shift in paradigm, which is arguably worse for students, have been squandered away in a higher education arms race that includes a doubling of support staff over the past twenty years. Higher education needs to trim down the bureaucratic fat that has encompassed campuses and refocus its mission on the production and dissemination of knowledge.
The evidence strongly suggests that administrative staffs have overpopulated college campuses. If the current trends in staffing were to continue, the number of administrators would outnumber instructors in the higher education industry within five years. Roughly a quarter of 4-year non-profit colleges reported having more full-time equivalent administrative support employees than instructors in 2007. This is a serious disease that has plagued higher education and needs to be eradicated. The ongoing financial crisis has created a cost-cutting environment on many campuses. This situation has led some colleges to implement a number of measures, including employee layoffs, furloughs and consolidations. Our recommendations include eliminating redundant or comparable departments and positions, filling administrative positions with students, implementing an incentive-based compensation system, outsourcing services and making effective use of technology.
Consolidate Redundant or Comparable Departments and Positions
It is not uncommon for different departments to offer very similar educational programs, or for similar services to be provided by multiple administrative offices on a college campus. When this happens, it imposes additional administrative burden and costs. Colleges should evaluate their program and student service offerings to identify redundancies and potential areas for streamlining activities. Doing so will permit colleges to consolidate their offerings in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. Several recent cases highlight the potential cost savings.
Case Study 6.1: Converse College, an all-women's liberal arts college in South Carolina, announced in late April 2009 plans to reorganize over the next two years. The initiative will include consolidating academic programs and departments, streamlining student services and reducing expenses with an 8 percent reduction in staff. The changes include "the housing of all Converse academic programs under the umbrella of three distinct areas: a School of Humanities and Sciences, a School of Arts and a School of Education and Graduate Studies," and the consolidation of student services into four clusters (Student Advancement and Transitions Center, Enrollment and Billing, Student Engagement, and Distance Learning and Continuing Education). The reorganization will permit Converse to eliminate 11 staff and 7 faculty positions over two years.
Case Study 6.2: In May 2009, the University of Florida announced cost-reducing job cuts that included the elimination of approximately 150 faculty and staff positions. It plans to save up to $30 million, in part by merging some small departments and offices, including the departments of operative dentistry and dental biomaterials, the department of Communication Science and Disorders in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the department of communicative disorders in the College of Public Health and Health Profession, and the Mental Health Center and the Counseling Center within Student Affairs.
Fill Administrative Roles with Students
Many students are willing to take at least a part-time job while in school. According to the College Board, 48 percent of full-time and 84 percent of part-time undergraduate students under the age of 25 were employed in 2005. A Federal Work Study program provides funding to institutions to be allocated to low-income students in exchange for part-time work on campus or in the community. Work study students are guaranteed minimum wage, suggesting that colleges could employ students in an administrative capacity at a fraction of the cost of professional full-time employees.
Filling more administrative roles with students would be a win-win strategy for both students and colleges. Students would benefit from gaining hands-on job experience, as well as earning money to help offset the cost of college. Colleges would directly benefit by reducing their labor costs. There would also be indirect benefits to colleges, such as a low-cost probationary screening of potential future employees and providing students with much-needed work experience that will make them more employable upon graduation, which would be an imageboosting reflection on the college.
Case Study 6.3: Rhodes College, a liberal arts school in Tennessee, began a student associate program in 2004 that provides funding for 100 students to "work in jobs that reinforce their classroom learning and earn up to $4,500 a year." Most Rhodes Student Associates work in academic departments and administrative offices doing work that is proposed and guided by professors or staff members who assure that the work is of a "professional level and relates directly to each student's area of study or desired career." Such positions are funded by the institution and pay between $10 and $12 an hour. The program provides students with meaningful work experience and the college with low-cost employees that save an estimated half million dollars a year, according to Bob Johnson, VP for student and information services.
Implement an Incentive-Based Compensation System
The compensation for many administrative positions, especially senior ones, is currently determined by industry benchmarking – in other words, by determining how much comparable employees at similar institutions are paid. This has resulted in a run-up of administrative salaries without consideration for the employee's actual worth. College presidents are generally compensated in this regard, often with little in the way of incentives for performance in their employment contracts (the common exception being a dubious incentive to move up in the rankings). This method does not consider the value that an employee adds, nor does it provide an incentive for employees to engage in entrepreneurial activity to continually improve processes, enhance performance, reduce costs and streamline activities.
Colleges should consider implementing an incentive-based compensation system that rewards exceptional performance and is punitive for lousy performance. A few examples of measurable goals that could be incentivized include recruitment and enrollment objectives, retention and completion rates, graduate job placements, and cost-saving initiatives. Schools in the for-profit sector reward employees with bonuses and stock options based on performance criteria. While non-profit schools are not publicly traded, they do provide very similar educational services as the proprietary colleges and would be wise to implement some of the management practices used in the for-profit sector, especially ones that incentivize improving performance.
Outsource Services
Colleges are engaged in a plethora of non education-related functions and services that could be outsourced to private providers, reducing the need for administrative employees. We devote an entire chapter to outsourcing, so we will not spend too much time discussing it here, other than mentioning that outsourcing often leads to cost reductions and efficiency gains.
Make Effective Use of Technology
Many colleges still practice an arcane way of conducting business that involves the inefficient shuffling of paperwork among administrative offices, with multiple offices often performing repetitive processes due to a lack of communication and visibility of workflows. This confusion increases the cost of information sharing, as more administrative and support staffs are employed than ought to be required. This is still occurring despite multi-million dollar investments in enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems on many campuses. It is true that some college processes, such as library services, registration and admissions have moved into the digital age, but much more efficiency can be achieved with the effective use of technology. There are many more processes that should be integrated into existing systems. This step, as well as improvement of existing electronic processes, will reduce the administrative burden on colleges and ultimately save money.
Bernie Kluger, CEO of FairChoice Systems, provided us with a few examples of how colleges could utilize technology to their advantage. He estimates that colleges could reduce the cost of administering student housing by 3 to 5 percent by doing online housing contracts. His firm also estimates that colleges could save an annual $25,000 per 1,000 entering students by "migrating its vaccination certification process from paper to the Web." The implementation of such processes would require a one-time fixed cost, but would reduce labor costs and inefficiencies for every subsequent year.
The recent explosion in tuition is at least partially attributable to the fact that administrative bureaucracies have ballooned out of control. This trend simply cannot continue as public sentiment over the upward spiraling costs worsens. Colleges need to refocus their mission on providing a quality education at an affordable cost. This requires increases in worker efficiency and a return to a realistic pay structure. These goals can be achieved in a multitude of ways, including the consolidating comparable departments and positions, implementing an incentivebased compensation system, filling administrative roles with students, outsourcing noneducation related services and making effective use of technology.

I love MAX, but as an educator I have limited professional development funds each year. It would be fantastic to win a free pass so I can continue bringing the most up-to-date information back to train the next generation of creative professionals!
Exciting. Inspirational. Overwhelming.
I have never been to Adobe Max before. For the last three years I have followed your speakers, and they are second-to-none. I want to prioritize my photography career and hope this is the year!!
I've never been to Lost Wages, I mean Las Vegas, so I'm interested in winning the trip. Also, I need to learn more about using my Adobe products.
I would like learn how to use the programs. I have been teaching myself by trial and error. It would be nice to be able to attendant the how-to sessions. I believe this event would allow me to network with other creative minds.
Great giveaway.
I have been learning many of the Adobe products as I have found a need for a product only to find that it is in a program that I own by Adobe. I have the full suite of Adobe products, but I would like to learn more about what some of them do without trying to learn about them on the fly as I have been. I believe that attending Adobe Max would give me that opportunity.
And, then there is the whole being in Las Vegas as its own benefit! I am not a gambler, but all of the different shows is what I enjoy doing when I go to Vegas! I have seen a few really great shows and that is something I always look forward to doing, so yes, to great opportunities in one great week!
I'm enthusiastic about graphic design and I've been using adobe reader for sometime now. I learning to use adobe Photoshop presently. The opportunity to learn adobe creative tools and to meet professionals in the creative world would be too good to turn down. I look forward to be at this conference.
I'd love to learn to the max in all the way. I am a huge fan of Adobe – and eager to maximise my skills in the main programs, so Adobe Max is a one-in-a-year opportunity. For sure I am willing to cross an ocean for it :-)
I would love to attend Adobe Max this year. I don't have many opportunities to be around other designers, as I'm the only designer at the nonprofit I work for. So Adobe Max would be a place where I can be a part of the design world. I would like to learn how to use the new tools Adobe plans to release in their future upgrades. I need that inspiration and knowledge to help make me a better designer. Thanks.
Adobe is king at my work; The Max is all the rave.
I would love to go to Adobe MAX, but I know there's no way to afford it currently while going to school full-time. Winning a ticket would be fantastic, and you can't win unless you enter. So here it goes……
I've wanted to go to Adobe Max for years. I've never worked for a company that saw the value in sending the designers and I have not been able to afford to go on my own, so to win this would be a dream come true for me.
I'm an educator and going to Adobe Max would be a tremendous advantage to help students understand Adobe Creative Cloud at a young age. We are testing out Character Animate with the preschool this week.
I'd love to go so that I may become more proficient with the Adobe suite.
As a student in Communication and Multimedia, I'd love the opportunity to attend Adobe MAX 2017 this fall to see the new Adobe products I'll likely be working with next year, but also to meet some pros and connect with others in the field!
I love interacting with the Adobe team because they hear my opinion and sometimes implement suggestions which is really great. It is also great to attend the sessions and get other Pros's ideas and see what inspires them. The whole thing is just full of energy and inspiration.
We're thrilled to announce the winner of our Adobe MAX 2017 Free Ticket Giveaway…
Our grand prize winner is Sherry B. from Ames, Iowa! Sherry has just been awarded a complimentary full pass (value US$1,595) to the Adobe MAX conference this fall in Las Vegas.

Congratulations to Sherry, and thanks to everyone for being part of our latest giveaway… A special thank you also goes out to Adobe for generously sponsoring this promotion. If you didn't win this time don't worry – stay tuned for our next contest coming soon!
Photography is my creative outlet and stress release from my full time job as a cardiac RN. Through my photography, I am able to truly connect with my surroundings in nature and post-process creatively using adobe Lightroom/ photoshop. Through this process of creating fine art, I experience a joy and satisfaction that is indescribable. It is awesome to continue growing and evolving through experience and education. I would really like to expand my skills by attending AdobeMax and by gaining exposure to unique perspectives of other creative minds.
You know, student tix are just $299…
pretty sweet deal:
A tad rusty on the latest updates, Photoshop, especially. And need to do a new website!
I want to MAX for the first time last year. But I've retired and cannot afford the tickets this year

In each of Shakespeare's 154 sonnets Shakespeare is the lover. Shakespeare is the writer, the poet. (Shakespeare is not the only lover, or the only poet.) Who's the loved one?
There are at least two: a fair love and a dark lady. Are they the only two?
Is there one fair love? or more than one?
One dark lady? or more than one?
(How many rival poets are there?)
In the early numbers the fair love is male, a boy, "my lovely boy." But some of the first 126 sonnets could have a woman as their object, could have Liz on Monday and Betty on Wednesday. On "Friday" Shakespeare could be addressing love in the abstract: no particular love object.
Each sonnet may be read separately, each sonnet may be read as part of a single story, or as part of two stories …
A great deal of ink has been printed trying to identify the lover, particularly the fair love (particularly the "lovely boy"). Personally, and in my reading, I don't care who the actual extensional lover of the particular sonnet may have been. The Sonnets certainly contain autobiographical elements: good, he loved; but worrying about individuals (other than Shakespeare, William Shakespeare, the poet, the great dramatist, the unbelievable word-wizzard) endangers perception of the synergy of the Sonnets as a sequence, as a pair of sequences, as a set of sequences … as contrasting, contradictory, paradoxical … anti-Realistic (as well as Realistic) sequences.
The Sonnets dramatize the principal epistemological conflicts of the second millennium of our Common Era: AD 1000(+-) to AD 2013 (and counting). It's germaine to worry whether the lover is male or female, hetero-, homo-, or bi-sexual, young or ripe, illegal or legal, but to my reading, whether the lover is Prince Harry or Mildred the Milkmaid is of no more importance than whether Shakespeare had oatmeal or eggs for breakfast the day he wrote the sonnet.
My reading is philosophical, historical, epistemological; not biographical: not trivial!
"The onlie begetter of these insuing sonnets"
Thorpe's edition credits a Mr. W.H. as the "onlie begetter" for the sonnets. I'll come back to that. For now, briefly, that could mean that the Fair Love sonnets had a single inspiration, known to Thorpe (and perhaps his readers). Were that true there'd be only one boyfriend. And since the male love figures into a number of the Dark Lady Sonnets, it could be stretched that the one male love is the "begetter" of the majority of the sonnets beyond the first 126. But it could mean that one guy handed Thorpe the text for all 154 sonnets: a "deep throat." It sounds simple, but isn't.
2016 05 14 I suspend the menus and menus of menus till I can complete them, even half way, if ever.
