The right to die is an ethical or institutional entitlement of any individual to commit suicide or to undergo voluntary euthanasia. Possession of this right is often understood to mean that a person with a terminal illness should be allowed to commit suicide or assisted suicide or to decline life-prolonging treatment, where a disease would otherwise prolong their suffering to an identical result. The question of who, if anyone, should be empowered to make these decisions is often central to debate.
The right to die is sometimes associated with the idea that one's body and one's life are one's own, to dispose of as one sees fit. However, a legitimate state interest in preventing irrational suicides is sometimes argued. Pilpel and Amsel write, "Contemporary proponents of 'rational suicide' or the 'right to die' usually demand by 'rationality' that the decision to kill oneself be both the autonomous choice of the agent (i.e., not due to the physician or the family pressuring them to 'do the right thing' and commit suicide) and a 'best option under the circumstances' choice desired by the stoics or utilitarians, as well as other natural conditions such as the choice being stable, not an impulsive decision, not due to mental illness, achieved after due deliberation, etc."[1]
Hinduism accepts the right to die for those who are tormented by terminal diseases or those who have no desire, ambition or no responsibilities remaining; and allows death through the non-violent practice of fasting to the point of starvation (Prayopavesa).[2] Jainism has a similar practice named Santhara. Other religious views on suicide vary in their tolerance, and include denial of the right as well as condemnation of the act. In the Catholic faith, suicide is considered a grave sin.[3]
A debate exists within bioethics over whether the right to die is universal, only applies under certain circumstances—such as terminal illness, or if it exists at all. A court in the American state of Montana, for example, has found that the right to die applies to those with life-threatening medical conditions. Suicide advocate Ludwig Minelli, euthanasia expert Sean W. Asher and bioethics professor Jacob J. Appel, in contrast, argue that, all competent people have a right to end their own lives. Appel has suggested that the right to die is a test for the overall freedom of a given society.[4]
The 1991 Patient Self-Determination Act passed by The Congress of the USA at the request of the financial arm of Medicare does permit elderly Medicare/Medicaid patients (and by implication, all "terminal" patients) to prepare an advanced directive in which they ELECT or CHOOSE to refuse life-extending and/or life-saving treatments as a means of shortening their lives to shorten their suffering unto certain death. The treatment refused in an advanced directive under US law, because of the 1991 PSDA, does not have to be proved to be "medically futile" under some existing due-process procedure developed under state laws, such as TADA in Texas.[citation needed]
Legal documents[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (July 2013) |
Most often, the idea of the right to die is related to a person's wish that caregivers allow death—for example, by not providing life support or vital medication—under certain conditions when recovery is highly unlikely or impossible. It may also refer to issues regarding physician-assisted suicide. It may be called passive euthanasia in cases where the patient is unable to make decisions about treatment. Living wills and Do Not Resuscitate orders are legal instruments that make a patient's treatment decisions known ahead of time; allowing a patient to die based on such decisions is not considered to be euthanasia. Usually these patients have also made explicit their wish to receive only palliative care to reduce pain and suffering.
Although specialized legal instruments differ from place to place, there are two more that are important in this context. The Five Wishes document allows a person to state in advance the priorities and values they wish to have honored at the end of life. And the Medical Durable Power of Attorney (or MDPOA) designates an agent to make decisions in case of incapacity, and can be used to give written guidance regarding end of life decision making. The MDPOA is generally considered to be the most powerful of all such instruments. All others may require interpretation on the part of health care providers or even court-appointed guardians; the MDPOA takes the job of interpretation out of the hands of strangers and gives it to a person selected and trusted by the individual; of course it is a personal decision.
By country[edit]
This section requires expansion. (June 2011) |
See Voluntary euthanasia#Euthanasia by country
As of 2009, some forms of voluntary euthanasia are legal in Belgium,[5] Luxembourg,[6] the Netherlands,[5] Switzerland,[5] and the US states of Oregon[7] and Washington.[8]
The Netherlands legalized voluntary euthanasia in 2001 and is one of the few countries in the world to have done so.
In February 2010 a citizens' initiative called Uit Vrije Wil (Out of Free Will) further demanded that all Dutch people over 70 who feel tired of life should have the right to professional help in ending it. The organization, initiated by Milly van Stiphout and Yvonne van Baarle, started collecting signatures in support of this proposed change in Dutch legislation. A number of prominent Dutch citizens supported the initiative, including former ministers and artists, legal scholars and physicians. Among them were former politicians Frits Bolkestein, Hedy d'Ancona and Jan Terlouw, as well as television personality Mies Bouwman. Under current Dutch law, euthanasia by doctors is only legal in cases of "hopeless and unbearable" suffering. In practice this means that it is limited to those suffering from serious medical conditions (including mental illness) and in considerable pain. Helping somebody to commit suicide without meeting the qualifications of the current Dutch euthanasia law is illegal.[9][10][11]
As of August 2011 a B.C. Supreme Court judge had been requested to speed up a right-to die lawsuit so that Gloria Taylor could have a doctor assist her in committing suicide. She suffered from Lou Gehrig's disease.[12] She died of an infection in 2012.
A B.C. Civil Liberties lawsuit is representing six plaintiffs and challenges the laws that make it a criminal offence to assist seriously and incurably ill individuals to die with dignity.
United States[edit]
Euthanasia, where a physician or another third party administers a lethal medication, is illegal in every state. Assisted suicide, where the physician or third party gives the patient the means to end his/her own life, is legal in the states of Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Vermont. It is required in these states that the patient be of sound mind when requesting assisted suicide, as confirmed by a doctor and other witnesses, and that the patient be diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Our sources had said that the people working the wedding were told to dress in either hot pink or camo clothing ... but we didn't think that extended to the participants as well!
Where have I seen this dress before....? o-o I know I have seen it somewhere, but I can't place my finger on where.. Even Mike's attire..
Congratulations June and Sugar Bear!!!!! And Alana looks adorable. Lots of people wear cammo. Not for me, but not my wedding!! Wishing you many happy years to come.
I'm curious to know if anyone making derogatory comments even have someone willing to marry them and pay all of the bills as she does. Congrats to June/Sugar Bear officially becoming a family!

Salma Hayek has defended the violence in new film Savages and blamed drug-takers for aggravating the problems blighting her native Mexico.
Hayek stars alongside Benicio del Toro and Blake Lively in Oliver Stone's violent epic, which tackles the brutal drug cartels involved in trafficking across the U.S border. The outspoken star, who plays a cartel member in the film, has some harsh words for addicts, warning that when they buy drugs, they contribute to the violence in her home country.
Salma Hayek tells the BBC, "The level of violence that Mexico is living under because of this problem… I think, there's (sic) so many things that I could wish, but maybe for the people who take the drugs, at least for them to know that not only are they messing up their lives but they are contributing to a market that there is a lot of murdering in (sic). Every time you buy a drug, you are contributing to the violence, to the traders. Somebody died for you to get that (the drugs). Nobody talks about this and sometimes they say 'Oh, this is a very violent movie, I had to close my eyes when they were torturing it (sic). Why do you do (sic) a movie so violent?' But they mind that it is in the movie but they don't mind that it is happening in real life."

Quakers end losing skid with 12-point win
Stirling led four Quakers in double figure scoring
January 15, 2005
WILMINGTON, Ohio – The Wilmington College Quakers snapped a two-game losing skid with an 80-68 victory over the Purple Raiders of Mount Union College on Saturday evening.
Eric Stirling (Brooklyn, NY/LaSalle Academy) led four Quakers in double figures with 16 points, while also dishing out six assists.
The Purple Raiders came out strong in the game, taking a nine-point lead seven and a half minutes into the game that had been postponed four hours due to a miscommunication between the game officials and the Ohio Athletic Conference. The Quakers responded with a 16-2 run, taking a five-point lead with just under seven minutes to play in the game. The Purple Raiders kept clawing away, cutting the deficit to one at 35-34 for halftime.
The Quakers never trailed in the second half, despite the fact that their lead would not grow above seven for all but the last minute of the game. The Purple Raiders closed to within one on two separate occasions, the last with 2:40 to play in the game before the Quakers ended the game on a 13-2 run, giving the game its 12-point margin of victory.
Stirling scored 16 points while Deon Short (Cincinnati/Mt. Healthy) scored 15 and David Guy (Webb City, MO/Webb City) and Zach Broermann (Brookville, IN/Franklin County) each scored 13. Stirling pulled down a team-high six rebounds while dishing out six assists.
Mount Union was led by Kyle Karpinski, who scored a game-high 27 points on 11-of-17 shooting, while three others, Brad Gerard, Chris Blakely and Adam Stinogle each reached double figures.
With the win, the Quakers improve to 8-6 overall and 4-3 in the OAC while Mount Union falls to 7-8 on the year and 3-5 in league play.
The next game for the Green and White is on Wednesday, January 19 when the team travels to Bexley, Ohio to take on the Crusaders of Capital University with tip-off set for 7:30 p.m.

Jacob Epstein (1880-1959), Sculptor
Sir Jacob Epstein
Sitter associated with 67 portraits
Artist of 14 portraits
The leading modernist sculptor of his day, Epstein was born in New York to Polish-Jewish parents and studied in Paris before moving to London in 1905. He quickly gained a reputation as a brilliant sculptor, creating monuments, portraits and controversial depictions of nudity. His bold work courted controversy and may have cost him an appointment as war artist and a professorship at the Royal College of Art. In spite of criticism, he regularly and successfully exhibited life-size bronzes and portraits at the Leicester Galleries. He received public recognition late in life, being knighted in 1954, and completed large commissions and numerous portraits in his last decade.

And why policy on
stranded costs defies
a traditional legal or
economic analysis.
There are sound economic reasons why policymakers should allow electric...
ENERGY SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE LISTED BY THE DOZENS on public utility commission Web sites, often with direct links to the companies themselves. Even so, picking out 10 to watch for their commercial and industrial activity isn't an easy task.
There's no reliable volume data. There's no organization rating the services each of these vendors offers. The ESPs themselves are either reticent about disclosing data or overly boastful. There's no ready apples-to-apples comparison of ESPs available for prospective C&I customers. Still, who is who among ESPs is a legitimate question.
This roundup, while in no way comprehensive, offers a look at leading ESPs - some picked for their geographic reach, others for their volume, and some, despite their small size, for the buzz their offerings have created in the marketplace among their peers and customers.
Chasing Margin, Not Share
AllEnergy Marketing Co. LLC, Waltham, Mass.
Ownership: A New England Electric System business unit.
Employees: 119, working in five New England states and New Jersey.
Business Volume: $70 million; includes natural gas.
Goal: To be profitable, not necessarily through market share.
Largest Customers: Would not disclose, but has less than 10 electric C&I customers.
Competitors: Exelon, Select Energy.
What Defines the Company: Selectivity in targeting power markets.
Company/Product Sketch: John H. Dickson, president and COO, says bluntly that his company is "trying to make money."
"I think that's one of the things you have to consider when you're looking at companies in this business," he says. "Are you in buying market share or are you in trying to make a profitable business? We could be selling a lot of electricity, as some competitors, if we want to buy market share and sell it at a loss."
Meanwhile, the company has found it can sell gas at a margin. It's building gas-side relationships, hoping later to sell electricity to those customers.
" We've been in business, probably actively only a year and we've got 15,000 [gas and electric residential and C&I] customers," says Dickson. "If we could keep that pace up and do it profitably, I think we'd be very comfortable."
He notes that the terrible margins have driven even the large players out of the New England market.
When possible, AllEnergy will win customers with three popular products: WeatherProof bill, PowerG and ReGen. The first product works like a budget bill, but there's no true up. The customer is told at the beginning of the heating season what the bill will be for the year. The company calculates the value of the hedge and lays off that risk. The Regen product builds off a utility's standard offer. AllEnergy contracts with a renewable energy supplier to build a new plant. The power is sold into the grid and AllEnergy makes up the difference between the sale price and the customer's contract price.
Eyeing the Big Guns
Commonwealth Energy Corp., Tustin, Calif.
Ownership: President/CEO Frederick M. Bloom is the primary, but less than majority, shareholder. There are 500 private shareholders.
Employees: 120, active in California, although the company is registered as an ESP in Rhode Island

Last week's OpenWorld conference made on thing clear: Oracle remains committed to its next-generation Fusion Applications but massive growth in the product line is probably not around the corner.
Unlike in past years, Fusion Applications received no top-level billing or even much mention in OpenWorld's major keynotes. Even the Fusion Applications brand name seemed downplayed in favor of terms such as HCM Cloud, for Oracle's human resources software.
[ InfoWorld presents the Bossies 2013, the best open source software for data centers, clouds, mobile, and more. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Fusion Applications are the result of a massive development effort that saw repeated delays until the product line's general availability in 2011.
While Oracle has always stressed that Fusion Applications can be adopted in a "co-existence" fashion with older products, it's not positioning them as the be-all, end-all of its future applications strategy.
"Fusion Applications form the baseline for what we've delivered in the cloud today," said Chris Leone, senior vice president of applications development, during a question-and-answer session at OpenWorld.
"In order to accelerate our time to market in a couple of areas we made some strategic acquisitions," he added, referring to purchases like marketing software vendor Eloqua.
But Oracle is not phasing out the Fusion Applications brand name, Leone said. "I think we're just trying to simplify what we've been doing."
There are more than 650 Fusion Applications customers today, with about 220 of them live, Oracle said in an emailed statement.
Both Fusion HCM and Fusion CRM have 300 customers each. In both cases, 100 customers are live for each application. So far, 50 customers have chosen Fusion ERP, and 20 of them have gone live with it, according to Oracle.
Oracle had previously said more than 400 customers had bought Fusion Applications, suggesting some momentum, although the total remains only a minuscule percentage of its overall applications base.
"Over the past year they did a poor job marketing [Fusion Applications]," said analyst Ray Wang of Constellation Research.
Still, with Fusion Applications, Oracle has been getting some "key wins" lately over the likes of Workday and Salesforce.com, Wang said. "They seemed at first to be exceptions, but they seem to be gaining some traction," he said.
It's not surprising that so few initial Fusion customers are for ERP, according to Wang. "In general it's hard to replace core ERP," he said. "However, newer companies are looking to Fusion Apps for ERP."
Meanwhile, some 85 percent of Fusion customers are choosing the cloud-based deployment option, according to Oracle.
An Oracle executive wouldn't say whether the company is encouraging customers to go with SaaS for Fusion because it's reportedly too difficult to install them on-premises.

McConnell vulnerable in 2014
As a citizen from Louisville, I have followed Sen. Mitch McConnell throughout his political career. McConnell is a "the end justifies the means" politician who uses expedience, cunning, negativity or whatever it takes to win elections. He justifies his oft-times unsavory means by believing you've got to get elected before you can be a statesman. He has mastered what it takes to be a consummate politician who wins elections, but once elected shows a striking lack of statesmanship skills.

Water-related Diseases and Contaminants in Public Water Systems
The United States has one of the safest public drinking water supplies in the world. Over 286 million Americans get their tap water from a community water system (1). The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates drinking water quality in public water systems and sets maximum concentration levels for water chemicals and pollutants.
Sources of drinking water are subject to contamination and require appropriate treatment to remove disease-causing contaminants. Contamination of drinking water supplies can occur in the source water as well as in the distribution system after water treatment has already occurred. There are many sources of water contamination, including naturally occurring chemicals and minerals (for example, arsenic, radon, uranium), local land use practices (fertilizers, pesticides, concentrated feeding operations), manufacturing processes, and sewer overflows or wastewater releases.
The presence of contaminants in water can lead to adverse health effects, including gastrointestinal illness, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders. Infants, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people whose immune systems are compromised because of AIDS, chemotherapy, or transplant medications, may be especially susceptible to illness from some contaminants.
Top 10 Causes - Outbreaks in Public Water Systems*
- Giardia
- Norovirus
- Shigella
- Legionella
- Campylobacter
- Copper
- Salmonella
- Hepatitis A
- Cryptosporidium

* Based on tracking of waterborne outbreaks from 1971-2008. Only confirmed causes have been included in the analyses. For outbreaks with multiple causes, each agent counted toward the total. Outbreak reporting is dependent on capacity to detect, investigate, and report the outbreaks. This requires health effects to be measured and these health effects to be easily linked to water exposure. Clusters of illnesses associated with chronic chemical exposures are not part of waterborne disease outbreak reporting or part of these lists.

self drawn pattern inspired on a pair of pants from the 1830's which I saw in a pattern book for historical costumes and uniforms published by Mller&Sohn. I used this 30 years old tweed which I have found in my mother's storage. I love the fabric!!! It was a lot of handsewing: the haircanvas interfacing, all biasbands(about 15m) and the button holes….. A lot of things went wrong this time but in the end it was all the work worth. I can wear this pants also with suspenders. I still have frabric left. I will make another waistcoat from it, a regular one.
but it was all the work worth.

MAP Goes to England
by John Armitage | Nov 27, 2012
MAP students, start planning for the next chance to study in England, coming in May 2012. For the fourth year, in collaboration with University of Evansville, MAP students can enroll in a Contemporary European Business Issues course at Harlaxton College
MAP students, start planning for the next chance to study in England, coming in May 2012. For the fourth year, in collaboration with University of Evansville, MAP students can enroll in a Contemporary European Business Issues course at Harlaxton College in Grantham, England. This course gives students an opportunity to view, first hand, the European business community and culture. Grantham is nestled in rolling hills about an hour's train ride from London. During the 10-day experience, students combine classroom lectures with field trips to neighboring communities and visits to businesses such as Jaguar and the United Bank of Sweden. The course concludes with a two-day stay in London, although students may wish to extend their stay even longer. HAR 365, Contemporary European Business Issues, is a four-credit hour course at MAP's current tuition rate. Both the tuition and room and board for this experience can be covered by financial aid programs. Student accommodations are in Harlaxton Manor on the grounds of Harlaxton College. Airfare is the student's responsibility and would be at prevailing rates at the time of purchase. MAP students who take this course can use it to fill any of the cultural awareness requirements of the ABA or BBA, as well as satisfying the management concentration course requirement, BUS 450 International Business, or the cross cultural requirement. The course can also be taken as an elective. To learn more about this unique experience, contact your academic advisor or Nancy Crosby at firstname.lastname@example.com. Better yet, seek out a MAP student who has attended our study abroad trip in the past. Hearing about Harlaxton College from a student who has been there will convince you this is something you won't want to miss.

Clean as you cook
Pro chefs have their kitchen grunts to handle the cleanup but we home cooks have to do it ourselves. And the way to do it is as you go. I think the clean-up is as much a part of the cooking process as the mixing and chopping, the slaughtering of the ox, all that kind of stuff.
I've rarely tackled a cooking task that didn't allow little spaces here and there in which to do some cleanup. Rinse and put away utensils, wash dishes, mixing bowls, pans or get them into the dishwasher. There's always a little extra time to do something. And that something will be one something less to deal with when the cooking and the eating are done.
I make a game of it. I like to have as much as possible cleaned and either put away or in the dishwasher by the time I serve the meal. With the vegetables always at precisely nine O'clock. Not that I'm compulsive or anything. I just like order. A lot of it.
Let's get all Heloise-y here and share some favorite cleanup tips. I'll go first. White vinegar. For everything. I mix it half and half with water and keep it in a spray bottle. Great for counters and stainless. You?
"...you wash the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again."
– Joan Rivers

Home » Football NewsSycamores Earn 44-0 Victory Over QuincySeptember 9, 2012 INDIANA SPORTS PAGETERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- The Indiana State Sycamores posted their first shutout in 16 seasons by earning a 44-0 victory over Quincy on a sunny afternoon in front of 6,294 fans at Memorial Stadium. ISU improves to 1-1 on the season while the Hawks fell to 0-2. The Sycamore defense allowed just 114 yards of total offense to Quincy in the victory and surrendered only nine first downs to the Hawks. The game marked the first shutout for the Sycamores since a 1996 victory in the season opener against Mars Hill. Indiana State scored in eight of their first nine offensive possessions, including touchdowns on their first three offensive drives. The Sycamores completed a pair of long third down conversions on their first drive and capped a seven-play, 59-yard jaunt down the field with a 12-yard touchdown run from Shakir Bell to take a 7-0 lead with 11:16 remaining in the first quarter. Michael Mardis scored on the first play of the Sycamores' second drive with a 43-yard reception from Mike Perish to make it 14-0. Ben Obaseki scored his seventh career offensive touchdown with a one-yard touchdown rush with 4:32 remaining in the opening stanza on another seven play drive for the 21-0 lead. Mark Sewall forced a fumble and Jacolby Washington recovered the ball following the Obaeski touchdown but the Sycamores had to punt the ball at the start of the second quarter. It would be the only offensive drive for the Sycamores for nearly 44 minutes of game time that the Sycamores would not eventually score. Following a Quincy punt, the Sycamores took over and drove just 13 yards to net a 23-yard field goal by Tanner Fritschle with 11:27 remaining in the first half for the 24-0 lead. Larry King came down with his first interception of the season with 9:30 remaining in the second quarter and spurred on by a 53-yard rush by George Cheeseborough, the Sycamores drove 71 yards to score on a Perish to Demory Lawshe 21-yard hookup with 6:52 to go before the half for a 31-0 advantage. Fritschle added his second field goal of the first half -- a 35-yard attempt -- with 1:53 remaining before the break for a 34-0 lead after a 36-yard drive which was set by an eight-yard punt return from Tanner Riley. The Hawks appeared poised to be moving into scoring position, but Sewall came up big again with his first career interception as the first half clock expired and he returned it 77-yards to the Quincy 18-yard line before the Hawks were flagged for a personal foul which moved the ball to the Quincy nine and the penalty forced an untimed down at the end of the half. Fritschle stepped up with no time on the clock to drill a 25-yard field goal for a 37-0 lead. It marked the first time a Sycamore had made three field goals in a game since Cory Little did it last season at Western Kentucky. The second half saw the Sycamore reserves receive the bulk of the action as the defense got a stop and then Richie Dyer capped off a 13-play, 69-yard drive that chewed up seven minutes of game time with a four-yard touchdown rush for a 44-0 lead. Cheeseborough led the way for the Sycamores on the ground with 72 rushing yards on seven carries while Bell had 69 rushing yards on 19 carries with a touchdown. Dyer posted 47 rushing yards on 13 carries with a TD and Foluke Gordan-Lamar also had 47 yards on the ground over 10 carries. All told, the Sycamores amassed 237 yards of rushing offense on 55 attempts. Perish completed 10-of-16 passes for 165 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including the 43-yard scoring strike to Mardis. Travis Johnson played most of the second half and was 2-of-4 passing for 25 yards. Mardis led the Sycamore receiving corps with three catches for 68 yards and a touchdown. Eight different Sycamores caught a pass on the day as Donald Spencer had 29 yards on three carries and Bell, Lawshe, Dyer, Myles Walker, Riley and Chris O'Leary also caught passes. Indiana State had 427 yards of total offense and chalked up 21 first downs during the game and the defense limited the Hawks to just 73 yards on the ground and only 41 through the air. The Hawks were held without a first down until late in the second quarter and did not complete a pass until the third stanza. Fritschle was a perfect 3-of-3 kicking field goals in the game and is 4-of-4 from the year, including a 45-yard effort last week at Indiana. Aaron Archie led the way for the Sycamores with 10 total tackles on the day, including a total of three for a loss. Jacolby Washington had nine tackles with a fumble recovery and Mark Sewall posted four tackles, one for a loss, a forced fumble and an interception. The Sycamores return to action on Saturday, September 15 when they host Drake in the second of three consecutive home games. Kick-off against the Bulldogs is set for 2:05 p.m. (ET) at Memorial Stadium.

Higher education leaders across the state are preoccupied with the same things that concern business owners and employees in the private sector: declining revenues, increasing costs and forecasts for a slow recovery.
In spite of these challenges, CBC is working hard to start new programs that the community needs with special allocations or completely without state dollars.
For example, this past fall, after an extensive and rigorous application process, we became a baccalaureate institution with the start of our Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Management program. The Legislature funds this pilot program, designed to increase the number of bachelor degrees awarded each year, at seven community colleges around the state.
We've also started a Nuclear Technology program that is being paid for by local businesses that need these workers. And we've created a Leadership Fellows program that includes guest lecturers from Stanford, Harvard, the UW, Air Force Academy and West Point.
These and other efforts will keep us moving forward on the Mid-Columbia's higher education needs even in a time of financial austerity because our research shows we are clearly a big part of economic vitality in this region. We train and place workers in most of the local industries, and our data show that community colleges add real wealth to the communities they serve through greater income generation and increased tax revenues as well as in reduced costs for social services, health, welfare and corrections.
Simply put, CBC is a community engine for social mobility and economic development. Under our work force development mission, we train the majority of this region's first responders, health care professionals, information technology experts, front and back office workers, bookkeepers, welders, marketers, mechanics, machinists and engineering technologists.
Additionally, hundreds of people who have become unemployed in the current bleak economy are trained for new jobs in programs such as our "CBC WorkSource Academy," a series of short-term certificates that we are offering with our great partners at the Workforce Development Council. Under our transitional studies mission, we serve hundreds of GED completers and hundreds of foreign-language speakers so they can become more functional in an English-language society.
Furthermore, we are part of the state's "junior college" mission that is the starting point for more than 40 percent of all students who graduate with bachelor degrees from the state's four-year colleges and universities. The modern economy increasingly requires further education, and CBC is adding that value locally to employee and employer alike.
Ironically, now -- in the middle of the Great Recession -- is the best time to invest in higher education. But when the dust settles, CBC will have lost somewhere between 15 percent and 20 percent of its state budget. As you might expect, this is causing some disruption to our level of service, as we have lost numerous employees through layoffs, suffered attrition without replacements and discontinued several programs. Students are finding longer lines. We have slower admissions, financial aid and registration processing. There are fewer available parking spots. Classes are closing on the first day or two of registration without new sections being opened. We have shorter hours of operation for our library, fitness center and other services. Recently unemployed individuals will find it harder to get timely training that will improve their prospects.
To help during these lean times, we're asking our legislators to keep our cuts as low as possible because balancing the state's budget crisis on the back of education is a short-term strategy with long-term consequences.
In fact, the only operating budget request we're making is for more worker retraining funding, so we can do what we do best: get people ready to work. And we're asking that as the state raises tuition we also raise financial aid levels so that middle- and low-income families don't get priced out of the opportunities that further education can provide.
In good economies and bad, CBC stands as a beacon for a community striving for greater opportunities and access to a better life.

Seriously? I'm not even done with High School yet, and I already moved out far away from my mother. I got some sort of scholarship to study in (I **** you not) Mexico. So she immediately packed my **** and sent me over here. The only good thing is that a friend came with me and he's studying here too.
