LIVERPOOL, N.Y. -- Some tough choices lie ahead for the Liverpool School District. The numbers show a $9 million budget gap for the upcoming year.
Superintendent Dr. Richard Johns says the school's spending hasn't changed. The difference is a decrease in state funding and a $3.5 million increase in health and retirement costs. To make up part of the gap, the superintendent plans to take $2.9 million out of their fund balance. Johns says that still leaves them $6.4 million short.
"If we keep going the same path that we're currently on, it's gotten progressively worse and worse. We have to lay off more and more people, we've relied more and more on spending up our reserves and as several of the board members pointed out, that's financial doom," Johns said.
Dr. Johns has not proposed any major cuts to jobs or programs at this time. He says they are looking to shift the way business is done in programs and personnel while they wait to see if the state comes through with more funding.

Recruiters, this is my first post after joining the site this afternoon. I was hoping to get some responses in regards to "year end bonuses". Do other recruiters get them and if so at is it a % of salary or desk billing? I was very displeased with what number dropped out of my card this year and am debating having a conversation with the owner of my agency. Look forward to hearing from the rest of the members....
Replies are closed for this discussion.
I've never heard of any agencies giving bonuses. Agency recruiting is usually a commission job, so what you earn is your bonus. Seems like a nice gesture from your boss. There were no year end bonuses at the agency I worked at.
That's been my experience though.
I agree with Pam - Unless your commission / bonus is somehow tied to overall company performance, it sounds like a "nice to have" extra. Then again, if your commission is less than the norm based on bonus potential, that could be frustrating.
I've been bonused as a manager in addition to commission (also running a full desk) because that was part of the mgmt comp structure... based on branch profitability etc.

Banned Books Week in the US Library
It's Banned Books Week! Titles from the Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon to Truman Capote's In Cold Blood have at times been challenged or banned by individuals and groups of people around the country. Our students read many of these books, and often find them on their course reading lists. Catlin Gabel celebrates the freedom to read during Banned Books Week. Stop by and learn more about the controversies that have raged over these books. And yes, you CAN check them out!
CGS honored with Regional Forester's award for our volunteer work on Mt. Hood
On September 26, 2009, Dave Corkran accepted a Regional Forester's award from the Mt. Hood National Forest for Catlin Gabel's volunteer partnership with the Barlow Ranger District. The National Forest honored the school for our many years of volunteer work restoring degraded land, through the Elana Gold '93 Memorial Environmental Restoration Project and other student volunteer work. Since 1991, Catlin Gabel students have contributed more than 15,000 hours of labor. Read more about the Elana Gold project.
OLA Backpacking in the Columbia River Gorge
OLA Backpacking in the Columbia River Gorge
As another amazing Oregon summer began to close its doors, a group of Catlin students from the Outdoor Leadership and Adventure class dashed out for a long weekend of backpacking and fun in the Columbia River Gorge.
We met in the Catlin lot and rocked an activity bus up to the Eagle Creek trailhead. Hiking up Eagle Creek, we saw waterfall after waterfall after waterfall. Punchbowl Falls, Oneonta Falls, Loowit Falls, Tunnel Falls, and High Bridge kept us excited and anxious to see what was around every bend.
We arrived at a secluded camp on the river, journaled, and made a home for the night. Waking up, we watched the sun gradually climb and bathe our gorge with light before packing up for our big day. Covering a huge portion of our loop, the trail took us up and around Tanner Butte, through old burn sites, over streams, up hills, through meadows full of blueberry and hucleberry to our beloved Dublin Lake, which we reached just as night descended.
After maybe too many laughs around a campfire and an amazing dinner, we headed into our tents and sleeping bags to enjoy a windy-but-clear night, full of shooting stars.
The next morning, we said goodbye to our camp and lake and made our way back to the bus... through one of the last hot days of 2009!
It was a great weekend of bonding, sightseeing, and getting away from the bustle of our school lives. We can't wait to get out again!

Planning ahead for swine flu
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread that way.
- Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
- Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
- If you develop flu-like symptoms of fever, aches and pains, sore throat, coughing, trouble breathing, runny nose, or nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting, you should contact your health care provider. Your health care provider will determine whether influenza testing and treatment is needed.

Welcome back to school
Welcome! I hope you are looking forward to the 2009-10 school year as much as I am. Some fabulous new students are joining us in all four divisions. I know that returning families will join me in welcoming our new community members.
We are proud to open with full enrollment. We were able to increase this year's financial aid budget by 41 percent, which allowed us to keep our community together despite the recession. This is a real testament to our board members and their commitment to making financial aid a school priority. While we have never been frivolous spenders, faculty and staff worked hard to trim budgets without negatively affecting the academic and co-curricular programs. The school's long-term financial health is in great shape.
To our parents: sending your child to Catlin Gabel is a big commitment, and we deeply appreciate the trust you have placed in us. Your child will have a great year in school. Your daughter or son will be enthusiastic about learning and will grow in ways you do not expect. Our extraordinary teachers, librarians, counselors, and support staff members will work side by side with students to make learning engaging and challenging.
Teachers and staff members were busy throughout the summer preparing for students to return. The much-needed new coat of paint on the Barn symbolizes our approach to education: honor our traditions while making things fresh and new. We launch the year fully invested in all our students' success at school.
Catlin Gabel teachers are extraordinary, as exemplified this spring and summer by four faculty members who received honors of note. The United States Department of State and the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board honored two teachers with awards: Paul Monheimer, 7th grade world cultures teacher, was awarded a Distinguished Fulbright Award in Teaching to conduct research in Israel spring semester, and Cindy Beals, Upper School math teacher, received a Fulbright Teacher Exchange grant to teach in Turkey for the 2009-10 academic year. I am pleased to welcome 6th grade math teacher Nagame (pronounced Nah may) Karamustafaoglu from Turkey, who came as part of the Fulbright Teacher Exchange. Upper School English teacher Nichole Tassoni attended a seminar on Dante in Italy this summer sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The American Immigration Council awarded Upper School Spanish teacher Lauren Reggero-Toledano a grant for her project, "The Hispanic Presence in Oregon During the Great Depression and Today." Read more about the awards that speak to the excellence of our faculty in the "Congrats!" article.
As the 2009-10 school year begins, I invite you to join Upper School students and teachers in reading Mountains Beyond Mountains. We are fortunate and thrilled to welcome the author, Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Kidder, to campus for this year's Karl Jonske '99 memorial lecture on Tuesday, October 13, at 11:30 a.m. in the Cabell Center Theater. You are all welcome to attend this special Upper School assembly.
I look forward to seeing everyone on campus again and finding out about your summer and your hopes for this new year. It's going to be a great one!
Yours truly,
Lark Palma
Head of School
Bus schedules posted, daily service begins September 3

Catlin Gabel teachers chosen for a Fulbright Teacher Exchange and an NEH seminar
Two Catlin Gabel high school teachers have been selected to participate in prestigious international programs. Cynthia Beals was awarded a Fulbright Teacher Exchange grant to teach in Turkey by the U.S. Department of State and the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, and Nichole Tassoni was chosen to attend a seminar on Dante in Italy sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Cynthia Beals will teach mathematics at Eyuboglu High School in Istanbul during the 2009-10 academic year. In return, Turkish teacher Nagme Karamustafaoglu will teach middle school mathematics at Catlin Gabel. Both were selected to take part in the prestigious and competitive Fulbright Classroom Teacher Exchange program, which is open to classroom teachers of any grade. Beals is one of approximately 60 U.S. teachers who will participate, one of only five teachers from the Pacific Northwest, and the only teacher going to Turkey.
After a three-day orientation in Washington, DC, Beals will travel to Istanbul to begin teaching on August 10. "I've always been interested in other cultures, and teaching abroad has always been a dream for me," she says. "Head of school Lark Palma and Upper School head Michael Heath have been very supportive and positive. This is a great opportunity for my professional development, and for Catlin Gabel to broaden its community and learn from a teacher from another country. We will all benefit from a new perspective on a fascinating culture."
You can read about Beals's Fulbright Exchange and residence in Istanbul on her blog .
Catlin Gabel high school English teacher Nichole Tassoni is taking part in a six-week summer study of Dante's Commedia in a National Endowment for the Humanities seminar based in Siena, Italy. The high school teachers in the seminar have been exploring Dante's world by visiting cultural and artistic sites important to Dante and his poem in cities that include Florence, Rome, Orvieto, San Gimignano, Ravenna, and Assisi. "The visits have really enriched the poem and its sense of history and culture," says Tassoni. Discussion, collaborative learning, and writing are key components of the seminar experience, which ends August 6.
"I chose to apply to this seminar because I had never read Dante's masterpiece before, and wanted to do so with a group of scholars," says Tassoni. "The experience has been all that I hoped for. Our two instructors—Ronald Herzman from SUNY-Geneseo and William Stephany from the University of Vermont—are passionate, life-long experts on Dante, and the 14 other teachers in the seminar are amazing to work with. Of course, being in Siena has been wonderful!"
Backpacking the Wallowas with Llamas, Summer 2009
We gathered at the Catlin parking lot early Monday morning, 8 students and 2 adults. After loading the bus and trailer with all our gear, we set off for the long drive to the Wallowa Mountains in NE Oregon. On arrival in Richland we were trained in the care and loading of llamas, who were to carry most of our gear for the next 6 days. We said goodbye to the llamas after this brief meeting and went to our forest service campsite on Eagle Creek for a chili and cornbread dinner and a lot of Frisbee.
The next morning we packed up and headed off to link up with the llamas. After a loooooong drive on dusty dirt roads we finally arrived at the Main Eagle trailhead on the southern edge of the Wallowas. Getting the llamas saddled and loaded the first time took a long time. Fortunately their owner Gary patiently stayed and helped us do this. Finally we were ready to set off into the wilderness. We filled out our wilderness permit and started up the trail along Eagle Creek. In places the trail was narrow and bush lined, so we had to hike single file. The llamas could be linked together like a train, so that 7 students did not each need to take one. The trail crossed the creek twice on sturdy wooden bridges. We stopped for lunch at a narrow gorge, the first spot in a long while where the trail widened enough for us to get off it. After the second bridge, the way got wilder as the trail continued up the glacially carved valley. We had to ford the next stream. There was a log for humans to cross on, but the llamas had to be led through the icy water. At the next junction, the sign was gone, but it was pretty obviously the fork we were seeking. We forded the main stream to find the steep climb to Bear Lake. The water was so cold it was almost unbearable. It was quite late at this point, due to the long drive, and the slowness of the loading and leading of the llamas, so we decided to camp in the beautiful streamside meadow, instead of making the freezing crossing and the steep ascent to Bear Lake. We found a wonderful campsite, even complete with showers! (Some previous campers had left two sun showers hanging on a log.) We unloaded the llamas, pitched tents and made dinner.
The next day we pushed on up the valley. We reached its end and climbed up a side trail to Eagle Lake, formed in the cirque left by the glacier that once filled and carved this valley. The llamas had trouble negotiating the switchbacks and the llama trains had to be uncoupled so that the llamas could be led individually. As the students had already become quite fond of the llamas, and knowledgeable about their quirks and characteristics, this was actually a welcome turn of events. Although it was July, there was still a lot of ice floating on the lake. We had lunch on a rock with grand views over the lake and down the valley we had ascended to reach it. The descent to the junction with the main trail went more smoothly that the climb up had gone. We continued up the main trail towards Cached Lake. The trail had just emerged from being covered with snow, and no maintenance had yet been done. We ran into an area with a lot of downed trees. Some we were able to skirt by leading the llamas around them. Some we cut out of the way with a collapsible saw. But then the trail-blocking trees became too big and too numerous to deal with. It took a half hour of scouting to find a way around the extensive blow down (or perhaps avalanched down) area. Finally we arrived at Cached Lake, and set up camp. There was snow in the area, so we could refrigerate our milk and dessert pudding. We had a fire that night, and smores were made and enjoyed.
The following day we hoped to make it over the pass and down to the Minam River. We broke camp and loaded up the llamas. The trail led ever higher. We got above the tree line, which meant ever grander vistas opened to our eyes. It also meant increasing snow cover, and the trail became ever more challenging to find and follow. In spots we had to go cross county considerable distances in order to try to keep the llamas happy. (They didn't like crossing the snow.) We were successful in getting the llamas to within 200 feet of the pass. Right at the pass a steep cornice on a lingering snow bank covered the trail. Despite extensive scouting, we could not find a safe way to get the llamas over or around this obstacle. We left them picketed on a relatively level spot by the trail, and made our own way up to the top of the ridge. Here there was a wide, level meadow, a great place for lunch. It was also high enough that we once again had cell phone reception, in the heart of the wilderness, and could call and change our pick up point for the end of the trip, as we would now have to backtrack on our route, instead of making a loop as originally planned. We admired the panoramic view from here – back down the valley up which we had come, and on into the deep, green valley of the Minam River, from which the llamas were now excluded. Entranced and enticed by this tempting view, we followed the trail some distance along the ridge, until it began to descend more steeply. Reluctantly, we turned around, returned to the llamas and led them back to Cached Lake, where we remade camp. As it was yet early, a group of adventurous explorers set off to investigate the far end of the lake and beyond. They climbed up a long snow bank to cross a rocky ridge. On the far side was an unexpected, hidden lush green meadow beside a burbling, crystal clear stream. A fine place for a delicious snack. They were tempted to linger there, but the call of the higher places upstream sang siren-like. So they went on. The way got steeper and looser and slipperier, but they persevered, even when forward progress slowed to creeping on hands and knees. Finally a summit with a wide level space was reached. After a rest, with congratulations and commendations all around (and a bit of first aid work), it was decided that descent was too dangerous by the route taken upward, so rather than go down again, the group continued upward to link up with the trail from earlier in the day. The adventure thus became a loop hike, and ending up circling the lake (and then some).
On the day after this, we returned to our magnificent meadow campsite by Eagle Creek. As this was a short, all downhill hike, we set up camp early, then set off to ford the creek and hike without the llamas up to Bear Lake, where we had intended to camp the first night. Once we got there, we found that we actually had a much better campsite down by the creek in the meadow. We ate our lunch in a much smaller campsite beside the lake, which was surrounded on two sides by immensely high, steep cliffs, and on the others by low banks with small, scraggly trees on them. After lunch we split into two groups. One (the sheep) returned to camp to nurse their burgeoning blisters, while the goats hiked a spur trail to Looking Glass Lake. It seemed much farther than the 1.6 miles indicated on the map to this dammed lake, but once the initial steep climb was over, the trail was scenically spectacular. We crossed small snow banks which provided cool, refreshing melt water for our water bottles. A small tarn nestled in a broad meadow of blooming heather, transporting us momentarily to Scotland. Our first view of our destination lake was from above, and we had to descend on extensive snow banks (by skiing on our shoes) to its banks. This lake was surrounded by granite rocks that plunged directly into the deep water. On some of them the glacial polish and striations left by the glacier that carved out the lake bed were quite evident. The clear water was so enticing that all the students plunged into the water for a refreshing, icy dip. Well, most of them plunged - the last whined and whinged his slow way in. A swim out to a drowned tree was followed by a hasty retreat to dry off on sun-warmed but snow-surrounded rocks.
Our final full day started with a short hike down the valley to a campsite not so far from the trail head. We found a shaded site right by rushing Eagle Creek. After setting up camp and picketing out the llamas, we set out to explore the "not maintained" trail to Arrow Lake. It climbed steeply up the side of the valley. Up and up and up it went. After a stream crossing we found a well situated rock with a grand view for lunch. But we were not yet at the top, so we continued on, going up ever more slowly, but keeping at it, until we'd climbed over 2000 feet, and were back in the land of snow. False summits kept taunting us, making us think we were nearly at our goal, only to find another, higher ridge behind the one we had just topped. At last, though, we reached the actual top, and the trail began to descend. In the distance, too far in the distance, across a too deep canyon, we spied the lake we thought we were heading for, a snow free pond glimpsed from the snow blocked pass two days earlier, that we had thought to gain more easily by this alternate route. But it was too far, the time too late, and the feet too tired to try to reach it today. With heavy hearts we turned around and returned to a small, ice berg infested lake at the pass we had just crossed. We sat down wearily for a well deserved peanut M&M break. Careful perusal of the topo map revealed that this was actually the Arrow Lake we sought, not the tantalizing traitor we had seen in the distance. Although disappointed in our ambition of being able to swim in the lake, deterred by the icebergs and the wind blown surface dust that collected at our end of the lake, we were nonetheless encouraged to realize that we had in fact reached our goal after all. The descent went much more quickly and easily. We were able to appreciate things we had missed on the way up, like the wild beauty of a corkscrew tree burned out in a spiral by lightning.
The last morning we got up an hour earlier than the previous mornings, to be sure of making the trailhead pickup for the llamas. We were all such practiced hands at breaking camp and llama loading that we managed our quickest wake-up call to walk out time ever. Even the llamas knew something was up, and for the first time all trip hiked at a pace over 2 miles per hour. (Previously the best we'd been able to average with them was 1 mile an hour.) As a result, we were back to the bus quite early, and were able to unpack and organize our things, as well as have some lunch and play some Frisbee before Gary and his family showed up to claim the llamas. All too soon they were gone, and we began the long drive back to Portland.
Now we are left with great memories of the camaraderie of camp and trail; the magnificent scenery; the fabulous, filling food; the foibles of the llamas; the evenings of smores, Frisbee flinging and card playing; and the adventures of drinking melted snow, steep scrambles, shoe skiing, swimming, wilderness cuisine preparation and consumption, and trail finding. Oh for another such trip!

California Surfing and Grayback Massif Traverse, Summer 2009
This past July a group of eleven headed south from Portland with two ambitious goals: to surf the fabled breaks of NoCal and to make a traverse of the Grayback Massif (the highest peak in the Klamath Range). What started as an experiement became an unforgettable road trip. Waves were ridden, summits were tagged, friends were made, laughs were abundant... we were sorry to see it all end.

Update: Cam McClure '07
From the Spring 2009 Caller
By Mike Moran
Thanks to our grant from the Malone Family Foundation, we can award scholarships to the brightest and most deserving students
In 2005 Catlin Gabel received an extraordinary $2 million gift from the Malone Family Foundation to establish the Malone Scholars Program. This program allows top-level students to obtain scholarships at the finest independent secondary schools in the country. In awarding the grant the Malone Foundation acknowledged Catlin Gabel as a national leader in independent education.
Selection criteria included academic caliber, quality of the staff, accommodations for gifted and talented students, strong enrichment programs, attention to the individual student's needs, financial strength and stability, commitment to financial aid, and an economically, culturally, ethnically, and socially diverse population. Catlin Gabel is the only school in Oregon to have received this honor and one of only 25 in the country.
Currently we have eight Malone Scholars in the student body. Their talents are extraordinary and diverse, each with the passion for learning that motivates them to be such remarkable students. From the moment they stepped on campus each has displayed the traits that make Catlin Gabel students exceptional—individuality, creativity, and a willingness to succeed.
We checked in on Malone Scholar Cameron McClure '07 to see what was going on in her life. Cam was a terrific student while at Catlin Gabel, and she shows how the generous gift from the Malone Family Foundation allowed her to reach for what might not have been possible, and how Catlin Gabel's progressive education shaped her desire for learning.
After graduating from Catlin Gabel, Cam headed to Columbia University in New York. She flourished at Columbia, but she left after she realized it was not a good fit for her. She craved a more intimate community where she felt she could make a difference. Cam says she missed Catlin Gabel, where the faculty and staff encouraged dialogue, and the students were the focus of the school.
"I am currently in Portland, tutoring math at Catlin Gabel and working on transfer applications to a smaller liberal arts college in the same spirit as Catlin Gabel," says Cam. "This summer I'm heading to New York to work as a residential teaching assistant for Upward Bound, as I did last summer. The program serves New York City high school students who are either low-income or first-generation college bound. The program provides academic help, support, and college guidance to teenagers. At least on a small scale, I can pay forward the gift Catlin Gabel and the Malone Foundation gave me.
"At Catlin Gabel, I was so grateful to the Malone Foundation because the scholarship allowed me to attend, but I don't think I grasped the significance of the gift," says Cam. "If I had not received full aid—if I received just enough to make it impossible to turn down, and thus had to work a part-time job—I could never have participated as fully at Catlin Gabel."
The Malone Scholars Program is just one of our many scholarship funds provided by foundations and individual donors. What our students on financial aid have brought and will continue to bring to the school is of enormous value. Catlin Gabel would not be the caliber of school we are without these students. Financial aid scholarship funds, like the Malone Scholars Program, help keep us strong.
Mike Moran is Catlin Gabel's director of foundation relations.
Notes from Our Educational Leaders
From the Spring 2009 Caller
Farewell, Pam McComas
Pam McComas, head of Beginning School and associate head of school, left Catlin Gabel in June to become director of the K-6 division of the 860-student Chadwick School in Palos Verdes, California. Pam was instrumental in leading many large-scale projects during her 14 years at the school, including the process for evaluating faculty and administrators, the Imagine 2020 conference in 2006, and the creation and implementation of a schoolwide curriculum map. She also served for a year as interim head of the Upper School.
"I often say one of my wisest decisions was to hire Pam the summer I arrived at school," said school head Lark Palma. "She has been a mentor for me in early childhood education, a wise counsel, and the creator of the professional development program and curriculum rubric we use today. If you have been in a meeting she has facilitated, you know her talent for bringing folks to consensus. Most of all, her heart, her progressive education DNA, and her voice always reminding us to walk our talk and live our philosophy has helped keep us centered. I know how lucky her new school, colleagues, and school head are in bringing her into their community."
"I am thrilled with the prospect of a new adventure and sad to be leaving this remarkable school. This life transition brings me close to my two-year-old granddaughter, Rita, and that's a good thing. I will miss Catlin Gabel and everyone here terribly, and the Beehive will always hold a special place in my heart. Interestingly, after 14 years at Catlin Gabel, I will be leaving in June along with the graduating 'lifer' seniors who started at the same time I did in the Beginning School," said Pam. Hannah Whitehead, 6th grade humanities teacher and former Beehive teacher, will serve as interim head of the Beginning School.
A Brief Musing on My First Two Years at Catlin Gabel
By Michael Heath, Upper School head
Here's what amazed me first when I arrived at Catlin Gabel in the fall of 2007—that students shape their lives a lot more here than at other schools, that we expect them to take an idea and make it happen. I just came back from our annual kidnap day (a student idea!), where the Upper School student government whisks away their classmates. The student officers stayed behind to clean up the community center where they had spent the day, and I was so proud of them. They had done it all, and done it all well.
The collective wisdom of Clint Darling and John Keyes in my first year made a significant difference. It speaks volumes about both of them that even though they had each held my position, not once did either of them say, "Well, when I was Upper School head, we did it this way!" And the other faculty members have proved to be extraordinary, and supportive. I'd like the faculty to see each other in action more, because they are so uncommonly good, and sometimes when you're teaching in that bubble, working hard with your head down, you don't hear that enough.
Parents here genuinely trust the teachers, the school, and the peer groups their sons and daughters find themselves in. It makes such a difference to be in this kind of school. When I hear feedback from parents, it's typically a good point about how to make something better—or we end up having a great conversation about the various facets of an issue. It shapes the way we do things, to a large extent.
It is difficult to capture the totality of my first two years. So much has happened, and there is so much I love about this community. But what I quickly learned about Catlin Gabel people is that they are inspiring, generous, and welcoming.

Turn your boring piles of stats, data and other information into an eye-catching infographic using these three steps.
Turn your boring piles of stats, data and other information into an eye-catching infographic using these three steps.
Last week my online marketing company, VerticalResponse, published a big social media infographic about how much time and money small businesses invest in social media activities. This was the first infographic we'd ever created.
It caught on like crazy! Within days we got more than a dozen write-ups from press and bloggers who re-posted the infographic.
Infographics are hot these days because they interpret piles of stats, data and other information in an eye-catching, visual way. It's easy content not just for you, but for others who re-post it on their sites or blogs. (And hopefully they'll link back to your site, which gives you a nice little SEO boost.)
So, where do you start? What if you don't have a big budget to hire a designer? And how do you get people sharing? Here's some low-cost tips:
Infographics are all about visualizing data and information, so you can't build one without a clear idea of what you want to communicate. Make sure there's an interesting story or angle; the most creative infographic isn't going to make up for dull, pointless information.
You can create one around your own data and research, like we did. (We surveyed almost 500 of our small business customers on their social media habits and spend.) Or, you can compile a bunch of stats on the same topic from reputable sources or companies--just make sure you give 'em credit in the graphic.
No designer? No problem. Check out these three infographic creation tools for the non-artist:
Have one central place for your infographic where people can link to; ideally, you would publish it on your site or blog. Make it as easy as possible for people to share online. Include an html embed code so people can re-publish it easily on their sites, and include social media sharing buttons so people can share with their networks.
Then, start sharing! Tweet, post to Facebook and LinkedIn, and don't forget to pin on Pinterest. Roll out your tweets over the course of a few days by sharing one tidbit or data point at a time (always linking back to the full infographic, of course). Write up a pitch or press release and email it to press and bloggers who cover the topic of your infographic. Again, it's easy content for them. You might be surprised by who's interested.
Do you enjoy reading infographics? Has your company ever created one? Would love to know.

[JURIST] US financial regulators and scholars advised [hearing materials; recorded video] the Senate Banking Committee [official website] on Thursday that "safety and soundness" can be restored to the financial system through increased regulatory oversight, but did not agree on the form that oversight should take. In his opening statement [text], committee Chair Christopher Dodd (D-CT) [official website] expressed doubt about the Obama administration's plan to control systemic risk to the economy by charging a Federal Reserve [official website] advisory panel with overseeing certain financial companies:
The Fed hasn't done a perfect job, to put it mildly, with the responsibilities it already has. This new authority could compromise the independence the Fed needs to carry out effective monetary policy. Additionally, systemic risk regulation involves too broad a range of issues for any one regulator to oversee.
[E]ffective regulation should await evidence and conclusions about the causes of the recent crisis...[R]eform should start by increasing a banker's responsibility for losses. The administration's proposal does the opposite by making the Federal Reserve responsible for systemic risk.
[M]ajor institutions engage in enormous, virtually unregulated trading in synthetic versions of other, often regulated financial products. We can do much to reduce systemic risk if we close these gaps and ensure that similar products are regulated similarly.

If it wasn't for the 'Gift of Life,' prostate cancer could have taken my life.
This journey brought me to the right place at the right time because, thanks to the 'Gift of Life,' I received the help I needed.
I feel so blessed that the 'Gift of Life' found my cancer early because my experience has been so much better than several of my friends who caught it too late.
I hope that sharing my story will inspire other women not to wait until it's too late like I did.
This was my first mammogram. It saved my life.
I know how important early detection is, and I am so thankful the 'Gift of Life' found my cancer.
It was a miracle I was able to get this mammogram, and I believe it saved my life.
It can be difficult to depend on others, but I appreciate all that the 'Gift of Life' has done for me.
I didn't have insurance, and I don't know what I would have done without this program.

House votes 35-33 for donor incentives
Advocates say tax breaks for those who donate to private and religious school scholarships will promote school choice for parents who don't think the public classroom is right for their kids.
Wednesday's razor-thin decision sends the bill the Senate.
The bill would create tax credits worth up to $10 million annually.
This provides more choice for parents seeking a public school alternative, proponents said, adding that scholarships would be limited to kids based on their family's income, to exclude the wealthy. For instance, children from a family of four people that earns $63,900 annually could qualify, according to the bill.
Foes said it would siphon more money from Idaho's general fund - and undermine public schools that already are insufficiently funded.
The Associated Press
School safety bill may be amended
A bill requiring county sheriffs to work with school boards to develop plans to bolster school security faces potential changes in the full House.
The bill has already cleared the Senate. It allows for schools boards to consider arming teachers and bus drivers or installing metal detectors.
But the House Education Committee Wednesday agreed the bill needs tweaks.
For example, lawmakers say they want language giving local police chiefs a more defined role in developing security plans. Idaho Falls Republican Rep. Linden Bateman said the bill needs to clearly include charter schools.
Lobbyists for The Idaho Press Club and Idaho Freedom Foundation urged changes related to public records exemptions.
The Associated Press
'Last best offer' bill clears committee
Legislation giving Idaho school boards the authority to impose final offers in teacher contract talks is headed to the Senate floor for one last vote.
The bill sought by the Idaho School Board Association has already passed the House.
It gives school board trustees power to end contract bargaining by June 10 if talks with teachers stall.
The Senate Education Committee approved the measure Wednesday amid opposition from the Idaho Education Association teachers union. Meridian Superintendent Linda Clark said the deadline gives districts more flexibility to manage their budgets.
The proposal comes with a one-year sunset.
The Associated Press
Senate amends charter school bill
Nonprofit corporations would no longer be able to start charter schools, according to changes senators made to a bill that's part of a package of reforms working its way through the Legislature.
Under Wednesday's changes, Idaho universities would still be eligible to open charter schools.
The bill is intended to give more school choice to Idaho families, but opponents have argued the bill as it was originally written - it has already passed the House - could result in a wave of new schools that outstrip funding for public education.
If this version now passes the Senate, the House still has to approve the changes.

Crazy sports fan antics caught on camera
Sometimes the most entertaining sights at a sporting event are in the stands. One LSU fan's T-Rex impression sent us searching for other great videos of fan antics. Here are some of our favorites.
LSU fan: T-Rex After a Tigers touchdown late in the first half against Alabama, CBS cameras zoomed in on a celebrating LSU fan section and caught engineering student Caleb Bates reacting rather…uniquely. Celtics fan: 'Livin' on a Prayer' The Jumbotron at TD Garden caught one fan responding very enthusiastically to Bon Jovi's "Livin' On A Prayer" during a timeout. Canucks fans: 'Green Men' Two Vancouver Canucks fans have risen to fame by donning green full-body spandex suits and taunting players from their seats next to the opposing team's penalty box. Penguins fan: Lights out One Pittsburgh Penguins fan decided to make the most of a power outage during a game at Consol Energy Center, much to the bemusement of fans around him. Royals fan: Belly laughs The Royals rallied to take the lead against the Indians in a September game at Kauffman Stadium, but that's not the most remarkable part of this clip. It becomes truly disturbing at about the 28-second mark. Astros fan: Safety dance This fan in Houston came up with some moves creative enough to inspire a dugout reporter to try and mimic them during the broadcast. Central Florida: Halftime hilarity This fan at a Central Florida men's basketball game didn't need much coaxing to put on an entertaining halftime show. Pistons fan: 'The Dancing Usher' The fan Dance Cam at a Detroit Pistons game caught a man known as "The Dancing Usher" strutting his stuff to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." It takes a little bit for him to warm up to the idea, but he finally loses his shyness at about the 1:30 mark. Mariners fan: Young 'Thriller' Michael Jackson seems to bring out some impressive dance moves at sporting events, no matter the age of the fan. One young Mariners rooter found himself on the Jumbotron at Safeco Field and had to oblige his urge to moonwalk. |

If you were a crustacean, would you feel pain?
A scientist and a seafood chef walk into a bar. "We have a mutual interest," says the scientist. "I study crustaceans and you cook them." But the chef wanted to know just one thing: Do the animals feel pain?
How virus sleuths and public health officials track the cause of a mysterious illness
When a mysterious disease fells people - as happened in California recently, with as many as 20 children experiencing unexplained paralysis - teams of physicians and epidemiologists quickly mobilize. Perhaps you saw the movie "Contagion"? The idea is to find the culprit before it spreads but also to prevent public panic.
First Apple, now Google hit with kids' app lawsuit
Last month, 4- and 5-year-old brothers in New York quickly spent $65.95 in real money to buy virtual goods in Marvel's Run Jump Splash game on the family tablet. They were able to rack up the charges without entering a password. And for that, the boys' mother has joined a class-action lawsuit filed Tuesday against Google, accusing the company of deceiving consumers about its in-app purchase system, which critics say makes it too easy for kids to spend money on their Android devices.

Monday's game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Dallas Stars was postponed after Stars forward Rich Peverley collapsed on the bench shortly after completing a shift in the first period.
VIDEO: Family rescued from ferocious feline
A family in Portland, Ore., called 911 after their pet cat scratched their son and "went over the edge," forcing them to take refuge in a bedroom.
In this tech age, how can a plane go missing?
Call 911 from the side of the road, and GPS satellites can tell dispatchers exactly where to send help. Airline passengers have access to detailed maps that show exactly where they are during their journey. Hop onto WiFi, and somehow Google knows whether you're logging on from Lima or London, and will give you detailed suggestions about what to eat.

text: The COE report alleges that Thaci was the leader of the KLA Drenica Group, a criminal network that controlled the heroin trade and the black market trafficking of kidneys of executed Serbian and Albanian war prisoners. News of the report's accusations prompted the government to respond [press release], denying the allegations and calling them an attempt to harm Thaci's reputation following his party's victory in the nation's parliamentary elections last year. Claims of Kosovo's involvement in human organ trafficking originated in 2008 when former prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official website] Carla Del Ponte [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] alleged in a book [JURIST report] about her time at the tribunal that roughly 300 Serbian and other non-Albanian prisoners were victims of organ trafficking during the war. That year, Serbian prosecutors condemned Albania's refusal to initiate [JURIST report] an investigation into allegations of organ trafficking in Kosovo. Albanian Prosecutor General Ina Rama refused to cooperate with Serbian war crimes prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic [official website] and said that her country would only pursue the allegations if the ICTY decided to reopen its investigation.

This life-saving technology broadcasts weather forecasts and travel conditions, storm warnings, and alerts affecting life and safety on a 24/7 basis - 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The system is operated by the National Weather Service which is a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; both agencies are branches of the US Commerce Department. NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts are localized using over 600 special VHF transmitters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (stations are continually being added).
The NOAA frequencies are in the VHF radio spectrum ranging from 162.400 to 162.550 MHz, which is outside of the normal AM/FM radio bands and must be monitored by special receivers like the All Hazards/Weather Emergency Alert radios. These broadcasts can be received up to 40-50 miles from a NOAA transmitter.

The serving size indicates 'half' yet 4 hens serve 4 people. Can I presume that 682 calories is a whole hen each?

Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Rick Smith gives his annual "State of the Schools" address to the Hamilton County Council of PTAs at the Hamilton County Department of Education on Wednesday in Chattanooga.Photo by Maura Friedman.
Though school enrollment stayed flat this year, the Hamilton County school system needs to get prepared for more growth should Volkswagen announce an expansion of its Enterprise South plant, Superintendent Rick Smith said Wednesday.
County school enrollment this fall held steady at about 42,000 students after several years of growing by several hundred students per year.
"But what happens if we wake up tomorrow or next week or next month and Volkswagen makes an announcement? We've got to be prepared for that," Smith said during his "State of the Schools" address.
Volkswagen's debut in Chattanooga pushed population growth that trickled into the schools, especially those on the county's east side. The company has named its Chattanooga plant as a leading candidate to build a new sport utility vehicle, which would ramp up production and the workforce here. The superintendent said he's optimistic that VW soon will announce an expansion. And that means the schools could find themselves in another crunch for classroom space.
"Just know that we're preparing for if, and I'm going to say when, that happens," he said.
Smith's address on Wednesday to PTA leaders from across the county touched on everything from high-stakes testing to technology to the Common Core State Standards. But parents and the superintendent made sure to spend a good amount of time on school facilities.
"We've got some things we need to address. And we know that," Smith said. "We've got some very old facilities."
Misty Craig, a member of the Hamilton County Council of PTAs, asked Smith about prospects for a new Chattanooga School for the Liberal Arts, which has been waiting for years for a replacement of its East Brainerd Road building.
"I just want to keep our name out there," she said.
Craig said the building's crumbling state is "beyond frustrating," though parents put up with it because of the quality of education the school provides.
"I don't care if the ceiling caves in. My kids will go to school there because of the amazing teachers," she said.
Katherine Smith, who has a son at Tyner Middle Academy, said that decades-old building needs a complete overhaul. Parents continue to raise funds for the school, though she said school officials don't seem interested in repairing even minor problems like parking lot potholes.
"Why not fix up the schools we have instead of building new ones?" she said.
But Smith said the problems with the school system's finances go far beyond crowded or crumbling facilities. Noting that county elections are coming up in August 2014, Smith said the school system hasn't received increased operating capital from a local tax increase since 2006.
"We have not had the kind of financial support in this community that I think our kids deserve," he said.
