Since July is just around the corner its just about the time that you find yourself singing Jingle Bells for no rhyme or reason. Perhaps you think you've lost your mind but perhaps it is just that idea of "Christmas In July" floating around in your sub-conscious that comes out to play. Whether you have in fact gone insane or are simply celebrating a false holiday, it could get you craving treats of the real December holiday. Cookies, pies, cinnamon buns, fruit cake….ok well maybe not ALL treats of the holiday, but you crave nonetheless. So in this spirit I decided to try my hand at a new recipe of vegan sugar cookies. Usually I simply veganize my mother's old recipe but this time I decided to try someone else's sugar cookie recipe. Whether the recipe was a veganized version or vegan to begin with I do not know. Here is the recipe I borrowed from another blogger:
PERFECT VEGAN SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE (From John & Kristie )
This makes about 36 cookies. To view instructions follow link.
|1 cup margarine
|3 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
|1 cup white sugar
|2 teaspoons baking powder
|2 whole egg replacements (Ener-G)
|1/4 cup tofu cream cheese (Tofutti)
|1 teaspoon vanilla extract
The recipe seemed simple enough and I didn't have to even think about veganizing it (although veganization is not overly difficult its just nice not to have to do it!). I followed the instructions are per the website, however I had immediate problems. The dough was much too dry to allow for a cohesive dough so I knew it definitely would not be suitable for the necessary rolling out process sugar cookies require. I subsequently had to add about two tablespoons more water and approximately 1-2 tablespoons soymilk. Once it formed a relatively cohesive dough I placed it in the fridge as per instructed.
A couple hours later I took the dough out to soften and then rolled it on a floured surface. I used flower cutters (ok so not so Christmas in July-ish afterall) and then put them in the oven at 350 for about 13 minutes. I rotated them once to ensure even cooking (you never know with the oven I am forced to use, *sigh*). So I took out the cookies and let them cool on a wire rack as you can see in the above photo. However, within minutes time, the cookies went from firm but soft to nearly rock hard.
Now, I must mention that I live in Denver so I am over 5,000 feet which can cause incredible problems and dilemmas when cooking and/or baking and I always make necessary changes. But I would not have been surprised if the cookies had initially come out of the oven harder (due to higher evaporation rates at this elevation). But I suppose it is possible that moisture was drained from the cookies while cooling due to the elevation…..its happened before. However, the dough itself, before my corrections, was much too dry. This often does not occur at this elevation because the majority of the moisture is removed in baking not the mixing of a dough! Therefore I believe this recipe had its flaws from the get-go.
The dough itself (aside from moisture needs) was not quite as sweet as I am used to a sugar cookie dough being. Generally sugar cookie dough is a tad on the bland side but somewhat sweet. This dough needed sweetness and so did the final product (even though I did sprinkle them with sugar prior to baking). So between the moisture and sweetness needs of the dough and the final product becoming hard after a few minutes I would have to say this recipe needs work, at the very least at elevation. I would say it gets 3 stars out of 5.

Hey everyone, I'm freshman swimmer Marlee Ehrlich. It's hard to believe that we've already been here at Harvard for 2 months. Everyday poses new challenges, but also offers opportunities to learn and grow. As a freshman, I am constantly blown away by what Harvard has to offer both in the pool and out. In the two short months we have been here, there have been a lot of "firsts", especially for the freshmen.
Last weekend was our first Head Of The Charles. Seeing the Charles Riverbank so crowded with spectators from all over was pretty amazing. The weather was gorgeous and it was a perfect opportunity to take a break and unwind from midterm week. It was also a perfect opportunity for team bonding, something we have done a lot of this year. Spending the afternoon by the river with teammates is definitely one of my favorite memories I have of this year so far.
Another first from this week was our Crimson vs. Black Intersquad Meet. We split up our team into the Crimson team and the Black team. This was our first chance to "get after it" and really race. Both teams swam great races and were super enthusiastic. The feeling on the pool deck was electric. This was our first time racing as the 2012-2013 Harvard Women's Swim Team. I think I speak for all of us when I say that this meet really got me excited about the upcoming season. It was also a great way for us freshman to become familiar with Harvard's meet cheers and rituals.
A very special part of our intersquad meet was having Sophie there. Sophie is a four year old who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2010. We are so happy to have Sophie as one of our new teammates through Team Impact. She now officially has a team locker and a team warm up jacket! Sophie even got in the pool and swam the 50 free with us during the meet. Collectively cheering Sophie on during her race, really helped pull the team together, plus it was unbelievably cute to see Sophie holding Coach Steph's hand as she stood on the blocks.
Even though there are so many firsts for the freshmen, our team is truly a real family. From floating as a mass blob in the diving well to having little "family" outings, our team has made sure that we are a close-knit unit. We put the team before ourselves, and I cannot wait to see what we do this season!

The Advising Center's academic advisors are always available to work with any student.
If the guidelines above guide a student to receive advising from the Center for Academic Advising and Student Support, please follow the instructions to schedule an appointment.
Academic advising is a shared responsibility. Both the advisee and the advisor have responsibilities. The better prepared you are for the advising session, the more information you will get to cover with your advisor. Therefore, the advising session is as much your responsibility as it is the advisor's. It is in you best interest to be as prepared as much as possible. Come prepared with a written list of questions. notes from previous advising sessions, and any kind of documentation that you feel is appropriate. If you are still working on the core curriculum requirements, bring a printout of acceptable coure curriculum courses so you and your advisor can talk about which courses are most approrpiate for you based on your academic and career plans. Print the latest version of your degree audit from the Student Information System bring that also. You should have your own copy of your progress sheet that you update regularly so you know which requirements you have already completed, which ones you are currently completing, and what remains to be completed. Keep all of your advising materials in a folder. That way you know where all of your paperwork is and it's easy to get your hands on before your appointment.
The first thing you should do is approach the professor of the course. The profesors here at Radford University are wonderful about taking the time to get to know their students. Do not let a situation escalate to where it is out of control and beyond someone helping you. Make an appointment with the professor immediately to discuss the situation and try to develop a resolution. You will find that your professor wants you to be successful and will offer advice and encouragement for your success. Your professor may give you some ideas on "how to study" for the course or refer you to the Learning Assistance and Resource Center (LARC), to a tutor from that specific department, to your academic advisor or to form a study group. Your professor is your best resource when you are having dificulties in a course.
The best thing you can do to prevent this from happening is to be extremely proactive. It is up to you! Talk to the professor, talk with your advisor, use the services provided by the Learning Assistance Resource Center (LARC). If you still end up receiving a poor grade, make an appointment with your advisor. Remember you do have options when you find that your are doing poorly in a course. Two academic policies which may serve you well in this situation are the class withdrawal policy and the repeat policy. Information can be found in the undergraduate catalog [PDF]. You and your academic advisor can develop a plan of action based on your individual situation.
Can I take a course at a community college or another four-year school and transfer it back to Radford?
Definitely. Remember: it is always best to discuss taking any course at another institution with your academic advisor who can help you make appropriate plans based on your program and your progress in your program. We find that students tend to take courses that are going to be used to fulfill coure curriculum requirements rather than major requirements at other institutions and transfer them back to Radford University. Many students take courses at their community college close to home during the summer to get ahead in their program or even to catch up if necessary. There may even be a few courses required for your major that are offered at a community college or other four-year institution close to your home that you could take during the summer. You should always check with your advisor or the Advising Center before you select any courses to take so that we can confirm that it is an acceptable/appropriate course. Even though you can find a class at another institution, it may be that your advisor will recommend that you take the course at Radford University but then may help you to find another course you could take at home during the summer. A list of acceptable courses offered by Virginia's community colleges can be found in the "Transfer Guide." [PDF] You will need to complete a "Transfer Approval" form before taking any course at another institution. This form, when processed through the Advising Center, will confirm that the course will transfer to RU and that it is an acceptable course for your program.
This is really something you should discuss with your advisor. The College has created a resource for you to help in this process, a "GPA calculator." Once you have keyed in the requested information, it will calculate a GPA based on that information. Remember the "GPA calculator" is only as accurate as the information you enter--follow the directions carefully.
Assessment requirements for admission to the teacher education program will vary just a little depending on the specific program being pursued. All programs require passing scores on Praxis I and the Virginia Communication and Literacy Assessment either for admission to the program or enrollment in field experience/s. Most programs also require passing scores on Praxis II. And a few require passing scores on the Reading for Virginia Educators. Details are available on the assessment requirements [PDF] handout.
Your should study! There are plenty of aids available to help you prepare. Assessment preparation books are available in the Teaching Resources Center (TRC) in Peters Hall. You can also receive guidance, assistance and tutoring at the Learning Assistance and Resource Center (LARC). Remember: it is important to prepare for the assessments before you take them. The assessment is expensive and can get costly if you take it numerous times. You always study before you have finals--this is no different. Study! Start your preparation by learning about the test by using the information available on the websites. You will be glad you did!
The Core Curriculum helps to ensure that all students are provided with a "solid foundation for lifelong learning." All students at Radford University are required to compete 43-45 hours of the Core Curriculum. The purpose is to provide you a broad based foundation for any degree. Most of the courses also serve as pre-requisites for higher level courses. Students who are pursuing a teacher educaiton program will find that these courses are going to be extremely helpful when you make it into a classroom of your own. All students will find that employers are looking for some similar skills no matter the career path one chooses. Those skills include: oral and written communications. collaboration skills, strong work ethic, dependability, critical thinking skills, risk taking skills, flexibility/adaptability skills, interpersonal skills, analytical skills, research skills, problem-solving skills, and multicultural skills. The Core Curriculum provides the foundation for these skills. Please learn more about core curriculum including the mission, goals for each area, and a complete list of acceptable courses.
The Degree Audit is located in your Student Information System under Degree Works; select Process New/View to view your audit. This audit will show what courses you have taken and will match it up with the program that you are pursuing. It will show what has been completed and what needs to be completed for your program. It also shows your overall GPA, your in-major GPA (may not be accurate depending on program) and your advisor.
A student may withdraw from a course they feel they are not doing well in and will receive a grade of "W". This grade will show up on the transcripts as "W." The student must obtain a withdrawal form from any advising center or the Registrar's Office. The form must be completed and signed by the student's academic advisor or an advisor in the student's advising center and then all copies need to be returned to the Registrar's Office prior to the withdrawal deadline to receive a "W." A student may not withdraw from more than five classes during the course of undergraduate studies at Radford University.
The student needs to complete a Declaration of Major/Minor Form. The form can be obtained from any advising center or the Registrar's Office. The form needs to be turned in to the advising center for which you plan to change your major.
Students with 26 semester hours will be classified as sophomores, with 56 semester hours as juniors, and with 86 hours as seniors.
At the faculty member's discretion the letter "I" may be entered on the student's transcript for a course whenever some portion of the required work has not been completed by the end of the semester. A written statement of the requirements for removal of the grade "I" must be signed by the faculty member and student and filed in the office of the chairperson of the department in which the course is taught with a copy submitted to the Registrar's Office along with the faculty member's grade sheet. The grade of "I" will automaticall revert to a grade of "F" if not satisfactorily removed by completing all coursework needed by the last day of classes of next semester (fall or spring) semester.
Students may have holds placed on their accounts for owing the university money for tuition, fees, fines, etc. All students with past due balances will have further registration blocked. If you attempt to register for a class and find your registration"blocked" please check first and make sure you have paid the university any outstanding balances. You can see if you have holds on your account by using the Student Information System and viewing Academics, selecting Student, Student Records, then View Holds. The holds will be listed by office and the reason for the hold. You will need to contact the specific office to find out what needs to be done to remove the hold. Not only will holds prevent you from registering for classes they will also prevent the Registrar's Office from honoring a transcript request.
To be considered fultime you need to carry 12-18 credit hours. If you drop below 12 hours, this categorizes you as part-time and can affect your financial aid and other services on campus. You need to consider this before you decide to drop below 12 hours. You may also carry more than 18 hours (overload); this has to be approved by the college dean of your major. The overload forms can be picked up in the advising offices.

Recently there has been news regarding the breed of pit bull dogs. I would like here to make public my personal experience with them.
Each morning between 7 to 7:30 a.m., I take my dog outside in our own yard to do his "business." On the morning in question, in process of this chore, my dog, a less than 20-pound chiweenie, spots two pit bull dogs in the block to the west of us. At the same time they spot us too and start charging ahead directly at me, not at my dog, whereupon my dog charges at them. Next, one dog turns to his right and disappears out of sight.
The other one continues charging. My dog ran after him then and chased him to the opposite block turning south and out of sight. My dog then returned to me and back inside our house.
I was so relieved that my dog had protected me from what could have been a tragedy. This incident happened only minutes before school children would have been in the streets to get on their buses for school.
As soon as my dog and I came back inside I called 911 to report this to police. The woman answering asked me if the dogs were "acting aggressive." Whether they were or not, they should not have been running loose by themselves.
Thank you Muskogee Phoenix for allowing me to tell my experience.

Vince Young may have played himself out of a job with his underwhelming performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers Saturday night.
Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll confirmed to reporters tonight that he expects his team to deal quarterback Tarvaris Jackson to the Buffalo Bills. The deal has not yet been finalized, while the Bills work on restructuring Jackson's contract. NFL.com first reported the trade talks.
Said Carroll: "It's been agreed upon. But there still is a little bit of paperwork to do. It's scheduled to be done."
Young threw two interceptions in the 38-7 loss to Pittsburgh and has struggled to look efficient in Chan Gailey's spread passing offense. Meanwhile, Bills backup Tyler Thigpen has had an unimpressive summer and did not see any action in Saturday's game. The situation raised major concerns about whether the Bills have any security whatsoever behind starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Jackson, a former second-round draft pick in Minnesota, has become expendable in Seattle, which acquired former Packer Matt Flynn in free agency and drafted Wisconsin's Russell Wilson. Flynn has been battling a sore elbow. Wilson has had a great preseason. Carroll named Wilson the starter for the regular season.
Jackson is 17-17 as a starting quarterback. He was signed by Seattle in free agency last year and went 7-7 as a starter.
"Tarvaris, all that we've ever seen from him is that he's a great competitor and a perfect guy to have on your team," Carroll said. "Because of our situation and the opportunity with the guys that we have, he deserves a chance to be playing. Buffalo came after him, and I hope it's a good thing for him."
"He did a great job for us and proved everything you'd ever want to see out of a competitor on your team. We think the world of him," Carroll said.
Jackson's career started off well in Minnesota, as he went 8-4 as a starter in 2007, his second season. However, he relied heavily on a running game led by Adrian Peterson and had a passer rating of 70.8, 28th in the league. Jackson lost his starting job to Gus Frerotte the next year and he rode the bench behind Brett Favre the next two seasons.
Seattle signed him to a two-year contract in free agency last year, and he took over as the starter. Jackson has received favorable reviews thorughout his career for his leadership ability. He started last season 2-3 and was completing 63 percent of his passes.
But in the second half of the fifth game of the season (a win over the New York Giants), he partially tore the pectoral muscle in his chest. The injury forced him to miss parts of three games. Over the final seven games of the season, Seattle relied more heavily on the run game, and Jackson averaged 188 gross passing yards over that stretch.

On one hand you have someone who is a great speaker, but kills little children, our president.
He's a great leader though, he's a great speaker, he has a good heart, he inspires people to do better for themselves, he truly cares (or so he says) he truly cares for the people of this country, he's truly a citizen of this world but he also kills little kids... ...and just to level it out, every president was like that.

Lupe Fiasco talks music on the Radio w/ Examiner
Posted on 6:23 AM by SeanTheRobot [@LDVK]
A whole lot of interviews went down while Lupe was at Ultra Lounge in DC. Here's another one. Lupe talked about music on the radio and what he thinks of it plus more.
FiveMikes - Absolutely. I work with young boys every day...One thing we always come back to talking about is...Hip Hop. We talk about what's on the radio, and we talk about what they're listening to. When we're talking about music; when we talk about 'Who's your top 5?" Lupe never comes up. I'm always the one saying...You need to listen to Lupe, Talib, Mos...Why is that...
Lupe - Everybody has their opinion on what's "real," and what's they choose to listen to and their personal preference. Whether they're 2 years old or 200 years old. And people can listen to whatever they want. I never want to be an artistic bully, and put myself above anyone else...or be more prestigious than anyone else.
You like what you like, and you have to take that as you want it. If you want to listen to that stuff every day in and day out and think it has no affect on you. If you like perpetuating violence...if you like perpetuating negativity, so be it, I'm not knocking you.

Lupe Fiasco says that we will see a "He Say, She Say Pt. II"
Posted on 1:56 PM by SeanTheRobot [@LDVK]
Lupe was interviewed by ArtisticManifesto while in DC and made the following statement:
How would you compare Food and Liquor to Food and Liquor II?
Lupe: Food and Liquor II is in stores September 25th by the way. I hesitate to compare the two, other than just the names. Know what I'm saying? There's definitely a similar feel, in the way that they're structured, but musically they're very different. They don't have too much in common. Some of the concepts are similar, but only in that they're progressive social commentary, as opposed to being another album of the same character. You will see a "He Say, She Say Pt. II."

Video: Lupe Fiasco mourns slain friends + previews "Lamborghini Angels" lyrics on MTV's RapFix Live!
Posted on 8:15 PM by Al Amend
Lupe was just on RapFix Live with Nature and Sway, and did one of the best interviews he has ever done. He thanked Nature for being one of the MC's that taught him how to rap, and also for providing the "Fiasco" part to his rap alias via a song off The Firm album.
He also reveals that the creative process of some songs may be halted in order for him to read a book and become more knowledgable on the particular subject. He says that process was applied to his next single "Lamborghini Angels", then spits some of the lyrics off the track:
With her eyes to the ceiling and a needle in her brain, She looks back into the crowd, wipes the blood and then explains, How she slipped from this existence to the realm of the deranged, Her becoming must be halted to reverse what she became, From the looseness of her tongue to the pollution of her aims, To do nothing is barbaric, the solution is humane, You must destory the mind and hopefully retrain, Torture out the wildness and replace it with the tame, Blank slate, when she recovers she won't even know her name, Perfect wife and perfect lover, no resistance, no complaints, May God bless the scientific cure for the insane, Knew that she shouldn't go to school, but she thought that that should change..
It sounds like another chapter of the MYH Saga to me, haha! The process was also applied to a song called "Atomic Misphilosophy" off Food & Liquor 2 Part 2. Also, Sway played a montage of a few members from All City Chess Club expressing desire to work on a full project, to which Lupe replied "Let's do it!". He said a mixtape would be a simpler process than an album as far as the legalities go, so lets hope it comes to fruition.
Also, he compared the status of CRS to someone going into a coma on the operating table. It's not a gurantee that it will wake up again, but it's definitely not off the table. Most importantly, watch above as Sway plays a six year old clip of himself and Lupe touring Chicago for an episode of MTV's: My Block. When the video was over, Lupe was in tears because some of the people in the clip have already passed away. He goes on to say that watching the video made him feel helpless because even six years later, nothing has changed about his neighborhood and he knows that some of the kids won't make it out of there.
Personally, this interview struck a huge chord and I can admit that I also shed a few tears. For people outside of the U.S, HERE is an alternate link to that portion of the interview. All that, and a whole lot of other things were discussed so if you have the chance to watch this interview, I highly suggest you do. Hit the jump to watch the rest of the clips!

Lupe ranked 49th on The Source's "Top 50 Lyricists of All Time" List
Posted on 6:34 AM by SeanTheRobot [@LDVK]
The Source has put together a list of the Top 50 Hip Hop Lyricists of All Time. Lupe is listed on position 49. I pretty much voiced my opinion about this on Twitter, so I'll just let you read what The Source wrote about Lupe and if you want to see the full list; go HERE for all scans.
In an age when denouncing violence and encouraging positive development in Rap seems to be a career killer, Lupe has defied the odds and emerged onto the scene with a more upbeat and positive meaning in his lyrics.
To some Lupe's lyrical repertoire may seem like a contradiction to his true message but he manages to draw in a wider audience with it and open up the eyes of the Hip Hop community. Using his emotion as a tool, Lupe is not afraid to voice his opinion.

MANKATO — You'll have to excuse Megan Stenzel if she's a little tired this morning.
The sophomore-to-be at St. Peter High School competed in seven events for the Mankato Mantas Swim Club over the weekend in the AB Finals Meet at Tourtellotte Pool. The 15-year-old characterized it as a successful weekend, recording a number of personal-best times.
"I've had some good, fast races here," she said before her final two events. "This is a great way to stay in shape over the summer.
"This is my third year (in the program). I've seen improvement in my times every year so it must be working."
Teammate Danielle Nack was the lone Mantas' swimmer to qualify for state Sunday. She reached a championship time in the girls 15-16 100-meter backstroke at 1:12.41. Nack was also first in the 200-breaststroke (3:02.66, A).
A host of other Mantas recorded top three performances Sunday afternoon. Chandra Bouman was first in the girls 15-16 200-breaststroke (3:07.77, B), Jake Bjork was first in the boys senior 100-freestyle (59.82, A) and Bobby Schulte was first in the 100-backstroke (1:07.78 (A-plus).
Schulte placed second in the senior 100-freestyle (1:01.70, A-plus) and Hayden Zeigler did the same in the boys 13-14 100 LC-free (1:04.12, A-plus). Ashley Lager was a runner-up in the girls senior 100-backstroke (1:16.00, A), Nicole Lohman was second in the girls senior 100-backstroke (1:23.76, B) and Abby Mattson was second in the girls 13-14 100 LC-backstroke (1:20.40, B).
Delivering a third for the Mantas was Parker Halldin in the boys senior 100-freestyle (1:00.77, A).
On Sunday morning, Jess Teegan was first in the girls 9-10 200 LC-freestyle (3:02.12, A) and Nick Bjork was first in the boys 11-12 100 LC-freestyle (1:26.84, A-plus).
Dan Egli had a second in the boys 11-12 100 LC-butterfly (1:32.55, B).

This is possibly one of the worst hotels I've ever stopped in! The reception area is very nice, in fact they were busy cleaning the chandelier when I was there. Pity they didn't spend as much time ensuring that the plumbing worked! Showers didn't drain and also flooded the bathroom every time you used it. Sinks didn't drain (well actually they did if you didn't mind waiting overnight!) Toilets didn't flush, they just circulated the contents round and round! Carpets in bedrooms were seriously filthy! Linen was clean and fresh (thank the lord for small mercies!)

I don't own one of his mounts nor have I seen one in person. I have only admired the design. I hope this is resolved in a positive manner for both you and him. Good luck.Best, Linda B.

Shake Hands with Biblical Hebrew (-)
Shake Hands with Biblical Hebrew:
A One-Day Seminar with Prof. Robert Owens
Thursday, May 30, 10:00am to 4:00pm
To Register, Click Here
Many students of the Bible would like to know something about the Hebrew language of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, yet will never have opportunity to take a proper class. They might include adults who participate in Bible study in their local parishes, busy clergy who did not study Hebrew during seminary, college students who are studying ancient world history, and people interested in learning about a language that has shaped a religion both ancient and contemporary.
Taught by the Rev. Dr. Robert J. Owens, Professor of Old Testament at General Seminary, this one-day seminar will provide a very basic acquaintance with the Hebrew language.
What is the Hebrew script and how does it work? How did Hebrew come into existence? What connections does it have to Arabic, Aramaic, Egyptian, and other near-by ancient languages? How do nouns and verbs work in Hebrew, and why is it said that Hebrew verbs have no tenses?
What kind of insights can one get from reading the Old Testament in Hebrew instead of in English? When should one NOT believe a biblical commentary?
In exploring these questions, we will look at a number of Hebrew manuscripts.

Wierciak Named to CoSIDA Academic All-District Team
Thursday, June 03, 2004Valparaiso University's Adam Wierciak (Ottawa, Ill./Marquette H.S.) has been named to the College of Sports Information Directors (CoSIDA) Academic All-District V First Team for track and field.
Wierciak earned a 3.85 cumulative grade point average while majoring in civil engineering at Valpo.
The senior earned All Mid-Continent Conference honors during both the indoor and outdoor season this past year. He is the school record-holder in the 200m hurdles indoors and the 400m hurdles outdoors. Wierciak also was a member of the indoor distance medley relay that set a school mark.
Wierciak is now eligible for CoSIDA Academic All-American consideration. In order to be eligible for Academic All-American and All-District consideration, student-athletes must be at least sophomores in both academic and athletic standing who have completed one full academic year at their nominating institution, and they must own a minimum of a 3.20 cumulative GPA. District V is made up of CoSIDA's voting members in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Manitoba, and Ontario.

Creating jobs. There may be no more universal promise from politicians than the assurance that they have the formula for putting people back to work.
Yet the economy continues to sputter, and across our state and our country, unemployment rates remain stubbornly high. Lets be honest no one has a magic wand to create jobs. But there are steps state government can take to develop a positive economic environment.
Thats one of my top legislative priorities and one of the guiding principles of the Senates bipartisan governing coalition. Im sharing one of the ways we can help move our economy forward and make it easier for the job creators of this state to start hiring again.
When I meet with the business leaders in the Mid-Columbia, Washingtons state-run workers compensation system is consistently near the top of their list of concerns and with good cause. Our industrial insurance rates are the highest in the nation and we return fewer injured workers to the job than any state.
A recent study by the Department of Labor and Industries found the workers compensation reserve account is severely underfunded. To bring the account to full solvency would require up to $3.1 billion, which equates to annual rate increases of 19 percent sustained over 10 years.
None of this is a secret legislators have known about the problems with our workers compensation system for years and many of us have tried to make improvements. After years of resistance, we finally broke through in 2011 with a dynamic package of reforms.
The centerpiece was a bill to allow workers with certain catastrophic injuries the new option of negotiating structured settlements, rather than having to accept a lifetime pension that didnt allow them to return to the job.
Structured settlements have been enormously successful. Over the next four years alone, its estimated to save the system $1.5 billion. So whats the catch? Because of opposition to the concept, we only were able to extend the settlement option to workers over the age of 55.
This year Im supporting a bill that would grant all workers with certain catastrophic injuries the ability to negotiate structured settlements.
Its a common-sense way to help ensure injured workers have options. It also will improve the solvency of the workers compensation system, potentially saving hundreds of millions of dollars each year.
Improving the system is crucial because industrial-insurance rates are tied directly to jobs. Simply put, if rates rise, job creation is stifled and our economic recovery is threatened.
Instead of filling the systems workers compensation deficit by increasing rates on businesses, we must take this opportunity to make it more efficient by expanding structured settlements.
We cant wave a magic wand and create jobs but we can help put businesses in a position to succeed. That will continue to be my top legislative priority and the focus of the bipartisan coalition in the state Senate.
Working together, we can put our state on a path for prosperity.
State Sen. Mike Hewitt, R-Walla Walla, has represented the 16th District since 2001. He owned and operated a small business in the region for 23 years before joining the Legislature.

After a big rig crash that killed one person and injured 10 others shut lanes on Interstate 10, crews worked overnight and into the morning to clear the roadway. The wreckage was still blocking lanes by the early hours of the morning commute. Jacob Rascon reports from Pomona for Today in LA on Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2013.
A fiery crash involving a big rig and four other vehicles, followed by explosions, resulted in at least one death and several injuries on the 10 Freeway in Pomona and prompted authorities to close lanes on the freeway.
Crews reopened all lanes early Tuesday after an overnight closure prompted by a series of collisions, the first a multi-car crash that the big rig driver could not avoid hitting moments later. All eastbound lanes are expected to reopen at about 7:30 a.m.
The first crash was reported at 8:12 p.m. on the eastbound 10 Freeway near the Towne Avenue off-ramp. Within minutes, the big rig slammed into the wrecked cars.
The driver of the big rig, Hector Avina, told NBC4 he saw the crash but could not stop to avoid the other cars.
The wreckage became engulfed in flames and exploded, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Avina grabbed a fire extinguisher and ran to one of the cars and pulled out one of the passengers. Though he alone could not save everyone, numerous helpers arrived to try to rescue the injured.
"We had a couple good Samaritans who were helping pull people out of the wreckage," CHP Officer Gramm told NBC4.
At least one person was killed and eight were injured -- four critically.
Earlier reports suggested 10 people were hurt in addition to the person who was killed, but CHP officials admitted they had trouble determining the amount of people involved.
Officials closed the entire freeway during firefighting and rescue efforts, and reopened westbound lanes about 9:20 p.m. Eastbound lanes reopened about 6:30 a.m.
Aerial video showed patients being airlifted from the scene. The big rig, which was carrying wooden television stands, appeared to be on top of several vehicles -- how many was not clear due to extreme damage to the cars.
One vehicle appeared to have been reduced to charred metal and ash.
CHP officials were still investigating whether the wrecks were a result of human error or equipment malfunction.

Syndicated —
Metropolitan rent prices have been climbing for months. New population figures from the U.S. Census Bureau shed light on one reason why: Most of America's big cities are suddenly growing faster than their outlying suburbs.
Boil that down, and what do you get? Higher rental demand.
Reporting on the latest Census figures, The Associated Press said this type of shift in population growth has not been seen since prior to 1920 and comes as today's young adults "shun homebuying and stay put in bustling urban centers" to boost their odds in a fragile job market.
In nearly two-thirds of 51 large U.S. metro areas, city population growth equaled or outpaced that of nearby suburbs, the AP found. The report said the trend was driven by 18- to 29-year-olds - so-called "generation rent" - and noted that a mere 9 percent of 29- to 34-year-olds were approved for a first-time mortgage from 2009 to 2011.
At the same time, rents have been on the rise from Baltimore to San Francisco. The Zillow Rent Index for May shows a correlation of rising rent prices in nearly all 15 cities with the greatest population influx.
The median rent in Austin, TX, which overtook San Francisco as the country's 13th largest city, climbed 10.8 percent for the year to $1,398. Charlotte, NC added 19,663 to its population and 11.4 percent to its median rent, now $1,106. The stories were similar in San Antonio, El Paso, TX, Washington, DC, Los Angeles and San Jose, CA.
Demand for rentals has swelled for several reasons. Mortgage lenders have grown more restrictive. Foreclosures have increased the national pool of renters, and many who can afford to buy are opting to rent instead, fearing a home purchase could lose value and remain hard to sell for years to come.
"The biggest driver of rental demand has been the enormous foreclosure crisis set off by the housing recession," said Zillow Chief Economist Stan Humphries. "The homeownership rate has plummeted from its high in 2004, and these foreclosed households have to live somewhere. What will keep rental demand high is the fact that many of these foreclosed households will still have impaired credit quality even after the economy has improved."
Big city rents have risen swiftest in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Chicago, San Francisco, and Minneapolis-St. Paul, according to Zillow data. From May 2011 to May 2012, the steepest rise was in Philadelphia, where the median rent climbed 13.1 percent to $1,481. Nationally, rents were up 4.6 percent, even as home values have skidded along near 2003 levels.
"It used to be the dream was graduate college, get a job, start a family, buy a house," James Halverson, CEO of Halverson and Blaiser Group in Bloomington, MN, said in an interview recently. "Now the younger generation is OK graduating from college, even starting a family, and renting."
And many of them choose the city.
Chicago's population, for example, inched upward by 11,522 to top 2.7 million after a decade of steady losses. Zillow figures show the median rent there has risen more than 9 percent in the past year to $1,476.
Chicago property managers said the increases have been fueled by the popularity of luxury high-rise rentals. Tenants who can afford to buy a condo are instead renting to avoid being saddled with a home that may prove difficult to sell. Meanwhile, landlords have scaled back on incentives like offering a free month's rent to new tenants.
"Two or three years ago, it was still a renter's market - that's all gone," Bryan Pritchard, principal of the apartment management and leasing firm Tricap Chicago, said. Pritchard said in April that downtown occupancy rates were around 95 percent. "If you offer a listing agent less than the asking price, he or she will erupt in laughter."
The Census report examined population estimates from April 2010 to July 2011. Larger cities grew at a rate of 1.3 percent, faster than the national rate, with Southern cities growing fastest.
Texas dominated the list of growing places; 8 of the 15 fastest growing large cities - those with a population above 100,000 - were in the Lone Star State. Topping the list was New Orleans, which suffered a population exodus after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Its population rose 4.9 percent to 360,740.

Bake the Book: Sambuca Kisses
"Baci" is Italian for "kiss". Flavored with Sambuca, these little baci from Nigellissima taste lightly of aniseed and orange zest. Whole-milk ricotta gives them a creaminess that's lightened when they're fried.
Tips: Let the ingredients come to room temperature before beating them together. Leave the ricotta out on the counter while assembling the rest of the ingredients, and dip the egg in a bowl of warm water for a couple minutes before cracking. It brings everything together more smoothly.
Tweaks: A vanilla bean, split and pushed into powdered sugar, makes it into vanilla powdered sugar, which would be delectable sprinkled over these kisses. Make sure to add the bean at least a few days before making the kisses.
Get the Recipe
As always with our Bake the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Nigellissima to give away.
