#BeFreeRx Campaign
The Region 3 Prevention Resource Center and its fiscal agent, The Council on Alcohol & Drugs in Dallas, recently kicked off a 6-month prevention/education campaign that addresses the disturbing trend in the misuse of painkillers and other prescription medications111. In brief, here is the shocking history: In 1971, President Nixon cited the increase of narcotic deaths from less than 200 in 1960 to 1,000 in 1970. No one at that time could have predicted how the continuous creation of synthesized drugs over the years would make drug enforcement and prevention strategies more difficult. Since 2000, the rate of drug overdoses has increased 137%, including a 200% increase in the rate of overdose deaths involving opioids. From 2000-2014, more than half a million Americans died from drug overdoses, and opioids made up 61% of them. Many people who start by misusing prescription painkillers move from pills to heroin, which is cheaper and easier to acquire. Between 2010-2014, heroin overdoses tripled in the United States. Today, more people in the United States die from drug overdoses than in car crashes. (CDC, 2016)
Given the impact of substance misuse on public health and the increased risk for long-term medical consequences, including substance use disorders, our efforts to prevent it from starting in the first place are critical. This prevention/education campaign, #BeFreeRx, is multi-faceted. It includes: ramping up attention to prescription drugs in our existing school-based and community-based prevention activities; providing conferences and town hall meetings that focus on prescription drug education; encouraging increased attention to the opioid crisis through local television, radio and print media; focusing on prescription drug awareness through social media; reducing availability of unused, expired, and unwanted prescription drugs by promoting safe storage and disposal practices; recruiting new members for coalition-based community mobilization efforts; and, educating law-makers and advocating for policies that prevent the misuse of prescription medications, including pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives.
#BeFreeRx carries the tag line "Learn | Do | Give." We hope you will follow this campaign and take action in whatever way you can. The health, safety and well-being of our communities and the people we love depend on it.
Rx Safety
Two-thirds of teens who report misusing prescription medications get them from friends, family and acquaintances. It's important to limit access to medicines that may be used for purposes other than what was intended. Lock up medications that have potential for misuse, and properly dispose of unused and expired prescriptions and over-the-counter cough medicine in your home. Be especially careful with medications that are addictive such as opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants. Talk to your teens about the dangers of using medicines that were not prescribed for them, or taking them in doses not recommended by their doctor.
Permanent Rx Drop Off Locations
Permanent drug drop boxes provide a safe and effective way to dispose of prescription drugs that are no longer needed for their intended purpose. The drugs in the drop box will then be safely and legally incinerated. Click here for locations in North Texas.
Safe Disposal of Medications
If you are unable to visit a permanent drop off location, unused medications can be disposed of at home. To help prevent someone from retrieving discarded medications from the trash, mix the medicine with an undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds or kitty litter, before discarding. Unless the directions on the packaging say otherwise, do not flush medicine down the drain or toilet. To help prevent unauthorized refills, be sure to remove any personal, identifiable information from prescription bottles or pill packages before you throw them away. For more information on safe disposal click here.

O.K. This is something I did once on my own, and I loved the results.
1.)Listen to a song.
2.)Draw how the music goes. You can draw instruments how the tone feels (smooth/rough).
3.)Draw as you listen and don't spend more time on the picture/design/comic then the length of the song.
4.)Title and sign.
Song: Girl (artist=Beck)
Song: Sheep Go to Heaven (artist=Cake)
This is only one way to do it, you could use any song, and any interpretation of that song. (You can make one overlying picture, and it doesn't have to be scattered like this. It could even be coherent!)
These aren't great examples in my opinion. I can't use MS PAINT for improvisation very well.
Please contribute any suggestions or anything.

text: Here's a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) Idaho wildlife managers called off a professional wolf hunter who has been killing predators inside a federal wilderness area. Department of Fish and Wildlife Monday said it was halting the hunt after nine wolves were killed since December, with none in the past two weeks. It had planned to keep hunter Gus Thoreson of Salmon in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness this winter as it sought reduce wolves and bolster low elk populations there. Wolf advocates initially lost their bid for a court order to force Thoreson to quit hunting wolves from his base on U.S. Forest Service territory. On Monday, however, they contended their continued pressure they'd appealed to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals helped convince Fish and Game to end the hunt.

My opinion of Snyder V. Phelps et al is like Alito's sole dissent. The opinions can be found here.
For me, essentially, the issue is who is in danger of, or actually, abridging the speech of who? The expression of the funeral, or the expression of the protesters. Both dislike each other, but one comes to the other, and can speak anywhere else but near the funeral; whereas the funeral is scheduled of its own accord and volition.
Clearly, to me, the speech of the Phelps abridges the preparation for the speech of the funeral, mitigating the readying and anticipating and ritual of people who should be expected to be engaging in this expression on the way in, without being subject to disturbance damaging that intake: Or on the way out digesting and settling the resonance of funeral speech and rite. Both entry and exit, anticipating, whetting, and digesting, settling, exiting, are consistent with the point of funeral expression, and very protected from abridgement by other speech that can make its expression anywhere it does not harm people actively engaged in specifically what the hate speech hates. (Free speech oft falsely portrayed as offensive. It really is not. Even if you are saying God is killing our soldiers for our sin of homosexuality, you can gentle say God is Powerful, Man is weak in comparison, Homosexuality is unpleasant and mind-controlled, not natural. Those things Can be said without hatred, and sound OK) Saying good bye has a duration to humanity not nearly limited to specifically being within the church. This is very simple to me, to protect the speech of a funeral, of unhindered anticipation on the way in, and mood and focus on the way out, strikes me as one of the necessary duties of good government, and honest men. On behalf of everyone, as we all die, it is up to the Phelps to not abridge the speech of the funeral. Funeral speech is more ancient than any speech; death leads to the one great thing to say; little else is more compelling of speech and expression: death is the great equalizer, and truth.
The majority makes the mistake protecting the Phelps because their issue is a public issue and political debate is encouraged. There is no mention of the particularized vital need for funeral speech, as ultimately a commentary on all politics and debate by the court. The majority may be assumed to outrank funeral speech with public speech: but no one is stopping public speech, they may make it anywhere as long as it doesn't impede the procession in and out of the funeral place; so no one is stopping public speech; there is just a complete failure to recognize the speech of the funeral as greater than public debate, in that it effects more people more deeply than the hate speech of the Westboro Baptist church.
Public speech is high, no one is stopping it either, just near people listening to an even higher speech, acknowledging the kingdom of god in funeral speech, a funeral as it is true, pure, is higher and more solemn, and the failure of the supreme court to note this, is symptomatic of a flaw.
Truly protecting this nation, acknowledges spiritual truths, such as movements of the kingdom of god. What the government fails to acknowledge is that funerals acknowledge the kingdom of god, however it is understood, to thoughtful minds and sentient feelings. The funeral is a great speech of public concern, consoling and truthful, solemn and dealing.
Saying the Phelps' speech does not hurt, that speech is ok precisely because it is merely speech and speaking on an issue, in this case, gays in the military, and therefore is legitimate: And being near the funeral merely to reach broad an audience as possible? As if freedom of speech protects not just the speech, but the right to as broad an audience as possible? An almost ludicrous proposition, impairing traditional understandings of the real politic that rights are contingent upon behaviors and situations and do not exist solely upon themselves. The Phelps could speak in a park, or on a commercial street, far away from the funeral's time and place, the speech itself isn't in question: where and when is. To ground that concern in a right to fan the flames of the press takes free speech expressly near a new and frontiering range requiring specific, central and deliberate adjudication? We can not allow anyone to get publicity by doing anything anywhere: that's not the point, nor real politic, nor traditional understanding, rights are grounded in behavior, and context.
But is the Phelps speech hateful? "God hates Fags" "Thank God for dead soldiers", that is undeniably hateful and hurtful, rather than debating and issue oriented: for the arbitrary condemnation, does not explain why it is so: merely the feelings, of errant protagonists in this tragedy. Free speech must rank analytical commentary over invective, as communication. It makes a difference if things are said differently, gently; as in "God does not want people hurting themselves in the Ass" There, the objection to homosexuality explained.
Does it hurt or impair? The thoughts provoked seem so, so biting in condemning Snyder in heaven, as to impair the effect of the funeral. To waste energy deflecting hatred rather than reason, renders speech by style, not content, as well.
According to Chief Justice Roberts, " The signs reflected Westboro's condemnation of much in modern society, and it cannot be argued Westboro's use of speech on public issues was in any way contrived to insulate a personal attack on Snyder from liability."
Is this true? Aren't they rather trying to publicize contriving through the press, rather than honest open area? Are they genuinely not marring the funeral, but speaking on a public issue? Because if they are speaking on a public issue then they are not trying to hurt. But "God hates fags" is a personal attack, and not explaining logic or attempting to, a slogan, more than speech, especially since forgiving is based on an awareness of the Kingdom of God. One can't listen to a funeral, then pass that sign and not have the effect of funeral speech abridged, and the effect of speech, is speech, undoubtedly; one can not disrupt the listener, that is essential to free speech. Even as the hate speech in the media eye isn't asserting itself, but being against the funeral. I can't head to funeral, pass those signs, and expect to settle back and enjoy the consolation of panegyric intent. And it is surprising the funeral experiences of the justices do not encompass that activity and sensation. And is there any evidence Gods hatred of fags is not really more logically great sympathy for "fags"?
There is too much collateral damage for this right to hate speech near funerals to exist; same as there may be collateral damage to not searching suspicious knapsacks at subways, or searching people before getting on a train. Speaking on an issue without this collateral damage can only be done in discriminating a place far from the funeral. Then the emphasis is on speech of the funeral, and speech on the issue of Westboro. These people are like drowning out a play.
You can not say, as Roberts does, that speech may be hurtful, but that is OK; when the experience of the funeral may be ruined, and that expression wasted. There is absolutely no recognition or protection or definition of funeral speech as including its prelude of individual preparation, and denouement that absorbs the thought of panegyric expression. Both sides can speak and feel sensations. How can one do so at the expense of the other, is beyond me. It is like setting up a maypole outside a church while the church is in session, impeding people leaving, as the followers of Baal used to do in Rome.
All issue-oriented activist including myself, must be distinguished by the press, to gain that limelight, and as Alito points out, there are numerous naval bases, and naval offices, where such protest may be displayed on funeral days. Their attraction to the press is grounded in hate and hurt, not public debate at all. The majority fails to distinguish it is not the speech that is outrageous, but its proximity to people it hurts. Nor is the logic that death and god is at a different level and metaphysic than material earth with its homosexuals. For as death parts marriage, so there is no homosexuality in heaven, and any allowance of it on earth, a metaphysic rather than truth.
Snyder also may not recover for the tort of intrusion upon seclusion. He argues that he was a member of a captive audience at his son's funeral, but the captive audience doctrine—which has been applied sparingly, see Rowan v. Post Office Dept., 397 U. S. 728, 736– 738; Frisby, supra, at 484–485—should not be expanded to the circumstances here. Westboro stayed well away from the memorial service, Snyder could see no more than the tops of the picketers' signs, and there is no indication that the picketing interfered with the funeral service itself. Pp. 13–14.
This is entirely wrong and crude and insensitive, first of all this case is not just for Snyder: Anyone has a right to not have their stomach churned at funeral, nor think the lingering wisps stained by hatred on the way out. There is also no mention that it is hate. No mention they are playing for the press. No mention they are AIMED at the funeral service, and only unable to hit it more directly because of police. Asserting a lack of disruption is like saying the threat of war or danger offers no anxiety. This cheapens the expression of the funeral, making it not free, but enslaved to pathological notions of a totality to public debate, the supreme court is invested in as nine people having so much power over millions.
The constitution is inclusive of rights. That means it is meant to protect the people, as the case for government includes. Placing protests a thousand feet from funeral speech misunderstands that funeral speech predates free speech, historically, funeral rites, were the emblem of society and what life was formed around.
The court is under a code whereby there is an oath to tell truth, yet the truth of the kingdom of god never acknowledged, so maybe the implicit inherent acknowledgement of The Kingdom of God by funerals, fundamentally treads upon the errant sensibility of what claims today. The whole issue of a funeral: what is and what is not, what appeared and we say bye to, in context of what we must know; somehow that central important expression and thought is not an issue to the justices and has no relation to the public eye. Indeed these are just public issues, the press does not consider or place in the public realm, and what the courts had a chance to free themselves regarding and assert, today.
Alito is much nicer and protective and from N.J. as well. The connection between my views and him, may stem from the oppressed nature of our state leading to a greater sympathy for the oppressed, or some pagan like connection.
Alito: Petitioner Albert Snyder is not a public figure. He is simply a parent whose son, Marine Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder, was killed in Iraq. Mr. Snyder wanted what is surely the right of any parent who experiences such an incalculable loss: to bury his son in peace. But respondents, members of the Westboro Baptist Church, deprived him of that elementary right. They first issued a press release and thus turned Matthew's funeral into a tumultuous media event. They then appeared at the church, approached as closely as they could without trespassing, and launched a malevolent verbal attack on Matthew and his family at a time of acute emotional vulnerability
That is IT, furthermore:
"Baptist Church's publicity-seeking strategy. Their press release stated that they were going "to picket the funeral of Lance Cpl. Matthew A. Snyder" because "God Almighty killed Lance Cpl. Snyder. He died in shame, not honor— for a fag nation cursed by God . . . . Now in Hell—sine die." Supp. App. in No. 08–1026 (CA4), p. 158a. This announcement guaranteed that Matthew's funeral would be transformed into a raucous media event and began the wounding process. It is well known that anticipation may heighten the effect of a painful event."
"The real significance of these new laws (state laws Maryland enacted since to protect funerals) is not that they obviate the need for IIED protection. Rather, their enactment dramatically illustrates the fundamental point that funerals are unique events at which special protection against emotional assaults is in order. At funerals, the emotional well-being of bereaved relatives is particularly vulnerable yes" Way to go Alito.
We can not go through this analysis and ask ourselves why 8 supreme court members missed the right and rites of an panegyric expression to include arriving to and leaving from, as containing vital preparation and mental ritual, as well as that the digestion and settling of the funeral is terribly vital and necessary for the point of the funeral expression to work; this omission, why? Ultimately my view is about protecting speech from speech protesting its speech: a civil protection. The exigent decision could be compared to allowing the enforcement of readers of my essays to read a first and final paragraph disparaging me. Why can't the court rank the right of speech of a funeral above the right of speech of hate and condemnation, a speech that doesn't recognize the equalizer of death, nor death's casting off of appearance, such as homosexuality, as per the next world? The remarkably unsophisticated world we live in is illuminated.
The answer is the government, and press, is unnaturally biased against spiritual understanding and spirituality and that is what funeral speech really is: however you call it, funerals, I believe, assert the kingdom of god, and somehow that makes everything more OK and what it is. The Kingdom of God, however a spirituality understands it, as the being, as denied, as fallen, as less, as subject of, is anathema to a government projected on that complete opposite, a two dimensional world on paper, and not the three dimensional reality about, to apprehend.
If the government interpreted "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" in a simpler more honest form i.e.: if congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, then it may make a law disrespecting an establishment of religion, otherwise they would have used the word "abridge" as towards other rights. What is so hard to believe that there might be an evil religion out to oppress people, even through law they impose on a people? Seems like a classical fear. That is all the first part of the clause is meant to signify. And Congress has been very respectful to religions and haven't abused them. And the second part, "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" just means people may apply what they have learned from religion, to their life, or job; indeed that is point of many religions, to help individuals in the world of sin.
So it is the unfair and gigantic legal misapprehended bias against spirituality that unconsciously drives the mind of most of the supreme court here. This bias is stronger than their mind; because it is reinforced most graciously in a press that chooses to ignore and deny and disparage spiritual reality, at the same time pretending to be speaking the great truth. No, the great truth is that the press, and all of us, are lying, earth has fallen: those are the solemn tones; very close to the ones for individual death.
But I ask again, why can't the court apprehend a religion might be evil; and that most religions are good. Because the press does not recognize or even give forum to these claims, of the truth of The Kingdom of God, and that is more pressing upon adjudication, than free analysis. Because unless you firmly perceive journalists as in over their head, the daily dominance of expression they project is falsely perceived and influencing, whereas an awareness of the critical absence of The Kingdom of God in journalism, renders their expression moot.
Free speech is not brutal, really, it's speech, and if it is brutal, it is not particular.

This Easter think GP or Pharmacy before A&E
- Date:10 Apr 2017
- Category: News
People across the North East are being asked to help ease the pressure on NHS accident and emergency services over the Easter bank holiday weekend.
To help ease the pressure at a very busy time of year for A&E departments, the NHS is asking people with non-emergency health issues to call 111 to make a GP appointment or to visit a local pharmacy. In most cases, this will mean they receive the most appropriate advice and care much quicker.
Although some GP practices and pharmacies are closed over Easter, the NHS has been working to ensure people across the region will be able to access a GP appointment or pharmacist should they need one.
Chris Gray, medical director for NHS England Cumbria and the North East, said:
"If people have a non-emergency health problem over the Easter weekend, they should please call 111 to make an appointment with a GP. By doing this, they will receive the most appropriate care and advice and, in most cases, will be seen quicker than if they go to an A&E department.
"Pharmacists can also provide instant, confidential advice and treatment for minor illnesses, without the need to make an appointment.
"This is a plea for people to use our NHS services responsibly to make sure that NHS staff, who work incredibly hard around the clock, can provide appropriate care to patients.
"Our A&E departments can get extremely busy over bank holidays and we want to ensure that patients who really need emergency care receive the quickest possible treatment they need, and that people who can be cared for elsewhere are not waiting in accident and emergency departments.
Advice for parents is also available on the free NHS child health app. The app has been developed by doctors, health visitors and pharmacists and can be downloaded from Google Play or Apple's App Store, search NHS child health.
People are also being asked to make sure that their medicine cabinet and first aid kits are well stocked before Easter arrives and that repeat prescriptions are collected well before the bank holiday weekend.
Many urgent care and walk-in centres will also be open. To find out which services are open and at what times, call 111.
For local pharmacy opening hours, over the Easter period, people should log onto
You can access information about walk-in centres, urgent care centres or minor injuries units by logging onto The NHS Choices website www.nhs.uk. Type in your postcode on the website to find their nearest services.

Sergison Bates has won another major competition in Belgium, this time for a major 74,000m² mixed-use regeneration scheme in Brussels
The London and Zurich practice – working with noArchitecten of Brussels and Korteknie Stuhlmacher Architecten of Rotterdam – defeated a shortlist of local practices to win the €100 million (£89 million) project.
The appointment comes just six months after Sergison Bates won a competition for a a new €60 million performing arts quarter in Leuven, Belgium. Meanwhile, last year, the firm defeated Caruso St John, 6a, Diller Scofidio + Renfro and OMA in the contest for Brussels' £105 million Kanal-Centre Pompidou.
The latest project, planned to complete in 2025, will deliver around 400 social and affordable homes; 1,250m² of light industrial and commercial facilities; and a school with a library and sports facilities on a post-industrial site in the city's Biestebroeck area of Anderlecht.
The two-stage competition was launched by Brussels' Bouwmeester (chief architect) and the project is supported by the Brussels Regional Housing Company, regional development agency citydev.brussels, and the Ecole de Tous school.
Stephen Bates of Sergison Bates said: 'Big projects like this are full of challenges. Building is a long, slow process. Politically sensitive projects like this one inevitably rely on strong solidarity between the city, the developer, the design team. I think that, with the Bouwmeester behind the project and the experience of the housing associations, the prospects are very positive.
'But we have to be aware that this will take time to develop and this is why we have built into our masterplan a level of tolerance, so that it can evolve and adapt to inevitable changes. But at the heart of it, our aim is to make an exemplary neighbourhood, not only for Brussels, but for the European city, where workspace and productive activities are increasingly being pushed out of the city centre.'
Mark Tuff of Sergison Bates added: 'Our strategy of collaborating with like-minded practices has proved successful once again. We think it is a great asset to bring together different ways of seeing, talents and expertise.
'I'm sure our approach to collaborative work will prove an advantage in meeting the challenges of dealing with the large number of stakeholders on a project of such ambition and complexity. We are also delighted to be working on another project in Brussels, on a site that is part of the Brussels Canal Plan. It is a privilege to be able to explore the synergies with the work we are already involved in for the Kanal-Centre Pompidou project.'
The shortlist
- Sergison Bates, AHA, Korteknie Stuhlmacher Architecten, NoAarchitecten (WINNER)
- Multiple / pool / Duplex / aaa / Coloco
- Bogdan & Van Broeck / WIT / Robbrecht en Daem / OFFICEEU / Atelier Midi / Vers.A / Vogt

Architect's view
The City Gate II / Petite Île area is a district with a complex past, which has seen a number of significant transformations. Today it is an assemblage of largely disused industrial typologies and heterogeneous social environments occupied by a skate-park and other temporary installations. The area has recently been earmarked for redevelopment and is set to become a major mixed-use district with some 400 social and affordable homes, 1,250 m² of light industrial and commercial facilities, and a school with a library and sports facilities.

The ambition of the winning proposal is to create a city within the city, a social and functional mix integrated in the wider metropolitan area. The team call this 'the assembled city' and refer to typologies such as the Belgian and Dutch béguinages, English colleges and inns of courts: intimate, intense, interlinked spaces. Unlike the typologies from which they take inspiration, though, the focus here is on urban continuity and openness and the vision is that of a new neighbourhood with a strong identity rooted in its industrial past, but open to and continuous with the city.
The project explores how buildings and streets can create and support vibrant communities, where living and working spaces coexist, and residents can develop a sense of belonging. A mix of typologies and scales, the integration of existing buildings and complementary functions are the key elements of a strategy that aims to foster the social life of the neighbourhood through its form and use. Equally important to the creation of a cohesive rather than haphazard urban fabric is a set of clear ideas about spatial proximity, height relationships and material consistency, a clear code that informs the development of the neighbourhood.
Sergison Bates' competition-winning scheme for the City Gate II / Petite Île area of Brussels
A variety of typological forms are proposed – 'sentinels', pitched shed-like buildings, mansion blocks and gateway buildings – with an emphasis on cubic volumes with minimal adjustment that gives a common feel to the ensemble, an urban conglomerate that serves a mixed community of residents working, learning and living side by side.
Common materials and details are also used, which share some of the qualities of warehouse buildings and residential mansion blocks of the nineteenth century – a combination of robust materiality and fine form-making. The design seeks to project the ambitions of this new residential quarter by incorporating the existing urban fabric, creating urban continuity and a sense of permanence and permeability. Robust building forms are complemented by lighter workshop structures that bring a different, more delicate scale to the ensemble.
Unlike urban planners of the 1960s who placed mono-functional buildings in undefined public spaces, the team are as interested in the spaces between buildings as in the buildings themselves. They believe the city is defined by the public realm as much as by its buildings, and both should be capable of adaptation and multiple uses.
A central role in the implementation of this vision will be played by the 'École de Tous', one of the clients of the project, whose approach embodies the spirit of the project. A social microcosm, the school will act as a catalyst for the community by opening up to the neighbourhood, inviting residents into its courtyards and gardens and sharing its facilities.
Sergison Bates' competition-winning scheme for the City Gate II / Petite Île area of Brussels
The project is impressive in scale and in its ambition to work on the complementarity and compatibility of major urban functions, from economic activities to housing, to collective facilities and public spaces. Not least, it embraces the challenge of integrating with the wider Canal Plan and complying with the urban planning regulations of the ZEMU (Urban Enterprise Zone) and the PPAS (Special Land Use Plan) for Biestebroeck.
Presenting the development, Brussels Bouwmeester / Master Architect Kristiaan Borret emphasised the collaborative approach adopted by all players and added that within a Belgian political system which is notorious for its complexity, it was encouraging to see the parties in question working well together as this major part of the overall Canal Plan begins to take shape.

A string of recent emails have led City College of San Francisco faculty members to believe that college administrators are already being paid according to the higher salary ranges that were proposed and then hastily withdrawn from an action agenda last week. Now, they're waiting for answers about a controversy that has only ballooned since Fri/24, when it seemed that a proposal to raise administrative pay had been brought to a halt and tabled for further discussion.
The retraction was made just as a protest by students and faculty members was getting underway. The recommendation called for increasing salary ranges for certain administrative positions by 19.25 percent, sparking an outcry from faculty members who have endured cutbacks in recent years.
In an email that was widely circulated among CCSF faculty members, City College of San Francisco Chancellor Arthur Tyler seemed to imply that the recommendation was put forth to reflect current pay ranges – in order to comply with an audit requirement.
"We had not published an approved schedule that matched what people were being paid," Tyler wrote in an email obtained by the Bay Guardian, which had a timestamp showing it was sent a couple hours after the Fri/24 protest and was addressed to Special Trustee Bob Agrella and several faculty members. "There wasn't any intent to increase Administrative pay."
In another email obtained by the Guardian, Tyler wrote, "The existing salaries did not match the schedule which was outdated. That inconsistency needed to be fixed before the audit."
Tyler's explanation seemed to imply that the proposed higher salary ranges, for the classifications Vice Chancellor, Associate Vice Chancellor and Chief Information Technology Officer, had already gone into effect – even though they were higher than the formally approved pay schedule that can be found on CCSF's website.
As of 5pm today (Tue/28), faculty members and reporters were still waiting for Tyler, Special Trustee Bob Agrella, and other top administrators to offer a clear explanation as to what, exactly, what was going on with this supposed pay increase.
"This is what I surmise from your email and other comments: This outrageous increase in pay for administrators listed is a fait accompli because you say the old pay scale is outdated for the upcoming audit. The employee who published did so innocently, thinking it was already known by the employees, since in the past there was a great deal of transparency in the policy changes here," faculty member Patricia Arack wrote in an email to the chancellor that was widely circulated.
"I think it safe to say we are all very concerned about this divisive situation," she went on. "The release of this pay scale has incited very strong emotions among employees, and I hope that you and Dr. Agrella, in the [swiftest] and most transparent way possible, confirm that the true administrator pay scale is the one currently online on the Pay Roll web page, and clearly explain why that pay scale released last Friday exists at all. All explanations have seemed very ambiguous to me. Please provide clarity so the speculations will cease and harmony can be restored and we can move forward to restore the reputation of CCSF."
The Bay Guardian also sought clarity on this situation, but we have not yet received a response from CCSF administrators. Last we heard, communications director Peter Anning had forwarded our questions to Chancellor Tyler and Special Trustee Agrella and they were planning to respond.
Faculty members and students are scheduled to meet with Chancellor Tyler tomorrow, Wed/29, to discuss recent class cancellations. "This is not the time to close the door to students eager and willing to enroll at City College," organizers with AFT 2121 wrote in an email newsletter to CCSF faculty. "Displacing students undermines their confidence in our college and interrupts their educational progress."
In related news, Assembly Member Tom Ammiano introduced legislation Mon/27 seeking to "end undemocratic power grabs," specifically the sort that stripped CCSF's Board of Trustees of its voting powers.
Under the new system, Agrella, in his capacity as special trustee, can unilaterally make decisions that previously required the approval of the entire board. Approving the salary range modification on last week's action agenda is one such example of what the special trustee may approve independently.
"Under a vague section of California code, the 17-seat Community Colleges Board of Governors has taken over faltering community colleges and effectively deposed the elected trustees of those colleges," Ammiano's office wrote in a statement announcing the proposed legislation. "They appoint a special trustee to make decisions in place of the elected board."
Ammiano's bill seeks to eliminate arbitrary actions that can lead to the disempowerment of an elected board, by clarifying and restricting conditions under which the state's Board of Governors may take control.
"Aside from being undemocratic, I think it's pretty criminal," Ammiano told the Bay Guardian in a phone interview. "People can vote people out, people can recall people, and acknowledge that they've made mistakes. But it's very upsetting to think that some appointed board can capriciously remove duly elected people."

Our mission is to provide support and create opportunities for the less fortunate of the communities we serve while honoring God in all we do. We partner with our sister parish, Our Lady of the Rosary in Sabanagrande, Francisco Morazan, Honduras; Infants of Jesus Orphanage and St. Jean Paul II Orphanage near Port Au Prince, Haiti; and San Juan Bosco, Las Tunas, Cuba.
Our Lady of the Rosary has 86 communities in the mountains around Sabanagrande. We have developed a mutually supportive relationship with them. We assist financially, with our prayers, and through mission visits. Since 2008 we have built a chapel, initiated a micro loan program for nearly 600 women, provided water filters for many villages, organized biannual medical missions, worked on the parish retreat center and with the bilingual school, and more. We have taken over two tons of supplies to the community. Currently, we are collecting travel size soaps, shampoos, and toothpaste, toothbrushes, and over-the- counter medicines (no liquids, please). Donations can be placed in box in church vestibule or taken to church office. We cannot take items that are expired.
The children of St. Peter are providing support for children in Haiti through their offertory collection each Sunday. We are looking for sponsors for the children in the orphanages also. Sponsoring a child is $150 a year or $15 a month. To sponsor, write a check to St. Peter and write Haiti orphan on the memo line. You can select a particular child from photos in the gift shop or we can select for you.
We need people with various talents to fundraise and assist with in all our mission communities. Flexibility and a willingness to work are essential; knowledge of Spanish, Haitian Creole, or French and medical skills are helpful.

"Republicans buy shoes too." -Michael Jordan
This was Jordan's answer in response to why he wouldn't lend support to Democrat candidate Harvey Gantt, in the 1990 Senator election against Jesse Helms. Now I know there have been other athletes that have taken similar neutral stands, so they wont hurt endorsements and etc. The problem now is we have birthed a generation of non activist athletes, and let's face it, sorry Sir Charles you all are role models.
On the heels of this Trayvon Martin case a lot of athletes took to twitter and showed their feelings and thoughts on the matter within 140 characters of course. These tweets struck a reaction from me, as I looked around the landscape and realized, where have all our athletic activist gone? Remember the days of Mohammad Ali, fighting against America's unfair drafting of Blacks in the Vietnam war. Ali stood up for much more in his era, and was more than just the "Baddest Man Alive" he was a revolutionary. How about Jim Brown who has dedicated his life to fighting injustice of race, creed, and even went Bill Cosby on the plight of the modern black community. We all remember the stoic picture in the 1968 Olympic games of Tommie Smith and John Carlos putting their black gloved fist in the air in protest of Black poverty in America. Billie Jean King working to get equal pay for women in tennis and one of the biggest advocates of Title IX. I'm sure your getting the point that sports has had a huge history of activist standing tall for a cause and helping mold the public to the cause. Or at least getting people to have an open dialog about the topic.
So where did the Sports Activist go then? It's simple they went the way of consumer and capitalist money making. Just like the Michael Jordan's quote it is easy to be silent and make money, then to make a stand and offend. Also in our new political correct atmosphere, the backlash for speaking up/out will always offend someone. Offended people don't buy shoes from athletes they dislike or don't agree with. I just wish these figures with so much influence will walk in the line of fire unafraid sometimes and help motivate people to fix some of the ills of this world. We saw a similar swell in the Obama campaign, regardless of how you view his politics, we did see how the athlete/celebrity status helped change a Nation by making a first happen. Now imagine if that swell was used to fight unemployment, legislature, and awareness of good causes.
I know in reading this a lot of people will say "Why do I care what an athlete says when it comes to my beliefs" and you are right. Or you might say "I watch/root for them for what they do on the field/court/diamond/etc I don't want their opinion on my stance" and again you would be right. A lot of the country was outraged at Bob Costas using his platform to talk about his view on guns, and I say to you, if he never said anything would the country have had a dialogue about guns in America? Probably not. For good or for bad conversations being had on issues that we want to sweep under the rug is good for both parties involved. I'm not asking you to give a Damn about what athletes think, feel, or stand for. I'm asking athletes to give a damn about the influence they can wield to make a difference. The choice is ours to take action or to ignore. Now I don't agree with what Roddy White and Victor Cruz said on twitter, but their mere opinion about the Martin case got the topic talked about again in my household. That's what I want to happen in households all over the world, and these figures made to be larger than life can help that. Maybe one day athletes will realize that we all have a responsibility make a better world, and they can be the spark to start a revolutionary fire! Without Michael Jordan's support Harvey Gantt lost to Jesse Helms, an open bigot and race baiter. Now Gantt loss is not Michael Jordan's fault, but Michael Jordan didn't HELP either and sometimes that is just as bad.

It's hard to overstate the anticipation felt by college seniors. Just like the weather, it's basically been dubbed a universally acceptable topic to broach whenever, whereever, as long as the conversation partner has experienced three years of meal point budgeting and acronyming ≥ fifteen campus buildings.
Before you know it, you're flinging your cap and posing for photos with your friends. But after the crowd disseminates, your family leaves, and you turn in your key, it's like POOF. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD, TAKE A NUMBER.
It felt a little bit like free fall when Mitch and I drove in our furniture-filled cars to my new apartment just a few hours after feeling the most collegiate I ever had. The lack of oversight was so sudden. This is hard to overstate. The lack of oversight was so sudden.
No more departments with well-paid employees whose livelihood was about making sure I was taken care of. No more instant access to thousands of journals, resources, media of all kinds, paid for with the intent to broaden my little scholarshipped mind. Now, my next stage of education was entirely up to me. (Well… and my parents. Because they were still aiding me financially with a car, a Y membership, health insurance. And because I am conditioned to value their opinion, whether I like that or not.)
How many college prep handbooks exist? Is there a limit to the number of sympathetic ears that will indulge a stressed college kid dealing with the classic problems everyone goes through during that life stage? That's the thing about college: If you're having a problem, someone else has already had it and written anywhere from a one-threaded to viral article/post/poem/expression about it, and has probably made it accessible to anyone with a knowledge of how keywords work. Post-college life? Not so much. Because it's harder to succinctly package and none of us have the time (or monetary incentive) to express such things and there's a much wider variety of experiences to be had with one's first job or period of unemployment or however you use that time, there's a deficit of self-help resources of recent college grads.
Looking back, I want to record the resources I found to guide me through one of the most grueling, growth-centered, uncomfortable, empowering years of my life.
- Friends. One of the most potent tools I use to center myself is empathizing with people going through similar experiences. Just last week, I was convinced that my life was crumbling before my eyes until my best friend described her bleak recent experiences: a boyfriend unable to buy her a slice of pizza, a night not without a helping of "cheese soup", and the regrettable decision to watch Thirteen Reasons Why. On the other hand, it's also uplifting to hear of strides my friends are making out there in the real world, landing jobs with benefits, not giving up when schools aren't accepting them, and generally keeping themselves sane. This is not a low bar. This is ADMIRABLE! (…mostly for the first few years post-college, but, you know, always.)
- Letting it out. AKA crying. A LOT. Learning to live with it, accept who I am, how I emote. Taking steps to deal with stress better. Seeing a therapist. Fighting my inner middle school cynic and trying meditation (and it working!) Taking time to realize who I am or am becoming, and not pushing that away. Maybe not accepting it quite yet, but learning to parallel play with it.
- Similar to #1, relating to strangers with different life paths than me. The Millennial podcast has been absolutely paramount to thriving post-college. I encourage everyone to listen!
- Mark Manson's blog. This guy reads like a down-to-earth philosophergeniuscomic. Like existential crisis medicine. Try one article and if you're not impressed, either you didn't get it or you are Mark Manson.
- These freaking parrots.

Hello Butterflies! I hope each of you had an amazing Christmas Holiday!
Wrapping up Christmas also means wrapping up another year. Where in the world did 2012 go? Seems like only yesterday I was creating the Butterfly Bridge….time flies when you're having fun-and have Wings!! lol
Since 2012 was considered The Year of the Woman by many-and 2013 the Epoch of Eve by yours truly, I thought it would be great to do a countdown over the last 5 days of the year of the Top 5 most Inspirational Butterflies of 2012 as well as the Top 5 Most Inspirational Butterfly Moments of 2012.
Countdowns aren't just used to allow us to reflect on the past, they also prepare us for the future. All of us can't go into the "new" with a bang. Sometimes it's good to ease in…and countdowns let us do just that.
So, visit us tomorrow as we begin the Countdown to 2013…..
Who do you think should be on the list? Who do you think should be #1?

WICKHAM CP, FL—Grease, released in the movie theaters 35 years ago.
I bought the DVD a couple of days ago and watched it tonight.
"Summer Nights," the definitive song on the difference between men and women and awakening relationships. Watch it. See it. Feel it.
Now rewind and play "Summer Nights" at half speed. No sound. Just movement.
The men start out moving like roosters. Strutting and prancing.
The women break into two groups: One who adore Sandy's pure love of Danny, and the others who think she's a naive fool.
The song progresses.
The men still strut like roosters.
But now the women are moving toward Sandy, who finds love to be the core of the Summer romance, with only three women (Rizzo of course included) sliding in front of the scene in cynical disagreement.
And still the men strut.
Finally, it is only Rizzo, the lone cynic, who denies True Love while the entire cast of women support Sandy's Summer romance—all joyfully—gleefully—grateful that Sandy has found true love.
Half speed you play the scene—no sound—as you see Sandy (the beautiful Olivia Newton-John) step away from the group of women—and John Travolta (as Danny) step away from the group of men, both as they express (not from the mind, not from his (Travolta's) persona) the True Love of the heart as they sing, and remember "those Summer Nights."
But note this (as you watch at half speed): Sandy/Olivia is right there, no distance at all separating her from Love—while Danny/Travolta is separated with a view across the entire school (separated by his "cool" persona).
Think about that: How much does your persona separate you from Love/Reality? How much does your persona separate you from Her/God/Your Beloved?
On the DVD, in the extras, you'll find an interview with both Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta 25 years after the movie was released. In the interview, if you play it at half speed, you'll see both of these actors touch their heart when they contemplate why this film has embedded itself in American culture—why this film has had such an affect on our lives.
They touch their heart unconsciously—not their heads, not their thoughts, not their theories.
They touch their hearts.
Do you want to live true? Do you want to live in harmony with Life itself?
Stop taking your mind so seriously.
Touch your heart. Trust your heart.
Christ said, "The kingdom of heaven is within."
He wasn't taking about within your mind or your persona.
He was talking about your heart.

Zachary Levi is turning to the fans. On Tuesday, the Chuck and Thor 2 star launches a 46-day crowd-funding campaign, "I Want My Nerd HQ," to help partially finance the popular fan event Nerd HQ, which is eyeing its fourth year at San Diego's Comic-Con this July. Levi, who began Nerd HQ in 2011, is hoping to reach a target goal of $1 million through Indiegogo, a crowd-funding platform similar in vein to Kickstarter. Since Nerd HQ began three years ago, attendance has grown from 20,000 in its inaugural year to 32,000 in 2013, raising $215,000 for Operation Smile through celebrity panel series "Conversations for a Cause" in its most recent outing. So why turn to crowd-funding now? "Nerd HQ was this thing we started and believed in for three years, and we just found that the financial model for how we were doing it just wasn't working anymore," the 33-year-old actor tells The Hollywood Reporter. The plan was to keep Nerd HQ "as free and accessible as we could," which meant Levi and his counterparts relied on sponsorship dollars -- "that way we could put all the cost on that" for things such as securing the venue and paying production staff. While that strategy worked the first two years, "it didn't really work well at all" last summer, Levi admits, alluding to sponsors pulling out at the last moment, forcing him to pay out of his own pocket. "I got hit hard with it; that was a sign of 'I don't know if this really works anymore.' " That doesn't mean Nerd HQ will be solely financed by the fans; Levi insists sponsorships will still be on the docket -- he's just guaranteeing that last year won't happen again. ) Levi has high hopes that the crowd-funding campaign, his first, will pay off -- due in part to immense fan support on Twitter and the fact that they have a proven product -- though he's aware of the risks. "I feel like if they believe in it the way I believe in it, then we can all do this together," he says. "Who knows what's going to happen. But I really have a peace about it." If there's any hesitation or doubt, Levi isn't shy about verbalizing it. "Maybe I'm crazy -- it wouldn't be the first time," he says with a laugh. If "I Want My Nerd HQ" doesn't meet its $1 million goal, Levi still plans on moving forward with the event, hopefully with a return trip to Petco. "If this crowd-funding thing doesn't happen in the way that I think it will, I still have to take a long hard look at doing the event because I really do believe in it and the good that it brings," he says. The biggest difference from Levi's crowd-funding effort to others, such as the Veronica Mars and Zach Braff's Kickstarters, is the lack of a rewards structure, an intentional move on his part to keep donators on equal footing -- no matter the amount of money given, whether it's $5 or $100. "The more that you can bring people together for a common good and a common goal and not disenfranchise them along the way, the more powerful it is," Levi says. And in an effort to recognize the donators, a "massive donor wall" will be resurrected at Nerd HQ with their names emblazoned for all to see. "It'll be a cool aesthetic thing, let alone a great way to thank everybody to say, 'Hey, you're awesome.' " Last year's Nerd HQ highlights from July 18-21, 2013, included film and television panels for Doctor Who, Sherlock, Hannibal, Orphan Black, Supernatural, Haven, Psych, 300: Rise of an Empire, Kick-Ass 2, I, Frankenstein and Riddick, with a celebrity guest lineup that featured Joss Whedon, Tom Hiddleston, Matt Smith, Richard Madden, Nathan Fillion, Steven Moffat, Joe Manganiello, Evangelline Lilly and Tatiana Maslany.

Morgan Sindall supports Wigan girls' Wembley dream
A rugby team from the Deanery High School and Sixth Form College in Wigan has had a once-in-a-lifetime experience; gracing the turf at Wembley before the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final on 27 August.
Fifteen girls from Year Nine were given the privilege in recognition of reaching the Champion Schools National Finals, which were held the previous day. Although they had to settle for a silver medal in the match – beaten 54-6 by Castlefield Academy in Wakefield – the girls were universally inspired by the weekend.
"Although it was disappointing to lose our match, the weekend as a whole was a great experience," said team captain Megan Grace-Holding. "Walking onto the pitch at Wembley and hearing the applause from the crowd was amazing – we're determined to get back there next year.
"We also got to stay in accommodation at the nearby Brunel University which was a great taste of student life and really exciting."
Morgan Sindall – which is constructing a new £20.3 million school and refurbishing the existing sports hall at the Deanery as part of the North West Batch of the Education Funding Agency's (EFA) Priority School Building Programme (PSBP) – sponsored the kit with sister company Morgan Sindall Investments Limited (MSIL), which, together with Equitix, was successful in being awarded the North West Batch in August 2014.
Morgan Sindall senior project manager for the Deanery project, Justin Kay, was pleased that the girls enjoyed the weekend: "Rugby League is so important to the school and Wigan as a whole. It's great to see the girls enthused by the sport and the site team was more than happy to support them by sponsoring the kit.
"They obviously didn't get the result that they wanted in their match, but we're glad they enjoyed the weekend as a whole and that they came away inspired – both to redouble their efforts for next year's competition, and to keep higher-education in their thoughts while studying."
"We were delighted to help support the school's PE staff and girls' Year Nine rugby league team by sponsoring their kit for the Champion Schools National Final and as a fellow Wiganer myself was particularly proud to see them grace the hallowed turf at Wembley," added Gary Naylor, MSIL /Equitix's North West general manager.
Deanery High School and Sixth Form College is one of 12 schools being delivered by Morgan Sindall under the EFA's programme, which aims to provide purpose-built school buildings to those in most need of urgent repair.
The 1,500-place high school and sixth form college is situated on Frog Lane in the centre of the town. The new purpose-built school will provide modern classroom spaces suitable for delivering first class education. Plans include new facilities for dining, drama, an activity studio and a library.
The school's existing sports hall, with its classrooms, will be refurbished rather than demolished and become an integral part of the new school.
It is expected that the new school will become operational in time for the 2017 academic year, before the demolition of the existing school and external works are completed the following year.

The rhizosphere of oxygen-releasing wetland plants provides a niche for oxygen-consuming microorganisms such as chemolithotrophic ammonia-oxidising bacteria. These bacteria are adapted to oxygen limitation with respect to their affinity for oxygen, ability to survive periods of anoxia, and immediate response to the appearance of oxygen. In this study the techniques of specific amplification of ammonia oxidiser 16S rDNA fragments by PCR, separation of mixed PCR samples by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), and band identification by specific hybridisation with oligonucleotide probes were combined to allow for the comparison of the community composition of multiple samples over space and time. DGGE bands of interest were also excised for DNA isolation, reamplification, sequence determination and phylogenetic analysis. We compared monthly samples from both the root zone and the bare sediment of a shallow lake inhabited by the emergent macrophyte Glyceria maxima to determine the seasonal effects that the plant roots and the oxygen availability might have on the beta-subgroup ammonia-oxidiser populations present. Similarly, five soil or sediment samples, varying in oxygen availability, from different locations in the Netherlands were compared. Although the presence of two previously defined Nitrosospira sequence clusters could be differentially detected in the samples examined, there was no evidence for a particular group which was specific to periodically anoxic environments.
