Reviewer: Lilly G. (La Canada, CA) 1/16/2014
What a sexy dress!
Ok, ladies, the picture shown on the site does not show how sexy and elegant this dress is. I wore this dress to an event and everyone loved it!
Reviewer: Mel (Washington, DC) 7/12/2013
Work to Date Night
I absolutely love this dress; so much so that I actually bought it in 3 colors! It's a true wrap dress and is made very well. I wore it all day without any fashion mishaps. I love the black lace detail, I think it gives the dress a little something else. Also, the lace detail allows you to wear black accessories without them appearing too harsh. This is a great dress to wear for work (with a camisole if you are busty) and then out to dinner with a few extra glitzy accessories. One word of caution, the fabric is a little thin; I would suggest wearing a smooth bra or a camisole underneath. I didn't realize that the first time I wore the dress, my lace print bra was visible.
Reviewer: taiga (, ) 4/25/2013
Great Shape and I Love The Colors
This is a nice classic wrap dress and the colors are really nice. I personally do not like the lace and wish that you made this dress in grey without the lace. FYI - The lace is attached well because you can not remove it with out damaging the dress.

There are carnivorous plants that consume animals for chemical elements that are lacking in their soil or water environment. Instead of enveloping prey, which limits the size of the prey that can be captured, what if an alien plant had spines that were freakishly poisonous? Something of the order of potassium cyanide.
Bump into the plant and you're screwed. You drop, rot, and fertilize them.
If their poison of choice would work on humans effectively would be blind chance.

River Tone body discovery thought to be missing Peter Carver
9:36am Wednesday 13th February 2013 in News By Newsdesk
A BODY, believed to be that of missing 89-year-old Peter Carver, has been pulled from the River Tone.
Search teams discovered the body at around 4.30pm yesterday (February 12) in the Bathpool area after being alerted by workmen.
Police say formal identification is yet to take place.
Mr Carver was reported missing on January 18 and CCTV footage later showed a man matching his description wading into the river.
Rescuers have been searching for him since.

Sadly the 45 could not be used like that - it was a wire guided sub-launched weapon. Plus it weighed six times as much as a standard ASROC weapon, the 46 (without the nuclear charge). The depth charges (Mark 101 and later a variant of the B57) were air dropped. There was a nuclear warhead for the ASROC, it was the W44 (the W34 was the one on the type 45).
The 45 really was there to deal with targets that nothing else could get - the very deep diving Soviet subs that scared the west so badly. Then they built their ADCAP models and the need for such a weapon went away. I think the Soviet version's stated use was to remove an aircraft carrier group. In either case they were basically only for use in a scenario that meant a) the sub would be killed for sure trying to stop the threat on its own and b) the consequences of the threat getting through were considered too high to pass up the opportunity to destroy it.

Go Inside The Fighting, Weaponry, And Battlefields Of Assassin's Creed III
Posted on Thursday, August 30 @ 19:00:00 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
Another week brings another Inside Assassin's Creed III video, giving anticipating gamers a look at the guerilla tactics and weaponry of the revolutionary war. Hey, isn't that the AMC voice guy?
While I'm very eager to see what Assassin's Creed III really presents once it's at retail, the franchise track record has me hoping for good things. Despite a slight dip at the end of Ezio's journey, Assassin's Creed has done well for itself over time. I certainly hope that with the amount of lead time (3 years) this game has had ACIII manages to wow those of us who've invested over the years.
Assassin's Creed III is slated for release on Xbox 360 and PS3 October 30th. The PC version will follow a month later.

At Earlham College, we recognize that costs are a key factor in students' college search process. We offer this guide to help students and their families prepare for investing in a high quality liberal arts education.
Federal guidelines and funding levels, Earlham's own policies, achievement scholarships and grants, state grants, outside scholarships, and students' own resources all influence the financial aid that we offer to students. Our goal is to share funding equitably across need and ability levels, so that students can choose whether or not to attend Earlham based on the quality of our academic program and not just for financial reasons.
Financial aid officers play many roles — including counselor, teacher, and policy enforcer — but our most important job is to serve as a resource for students. This guide is intended to inform students about the types of financial assistance available at Earlham, and how to access that aid.

Read this before submitting an article or letter to the editor.
By Ryan McGreal
Published December 14, 2004
We happily accept article submissions and letters to the editor for Raise the Hammer, and would love to hear from you!
Before sending us your work, please bear in mind the following considerations.
For an article submission, please also include the following:
For a letter to the editor, be sure to include the following information:
In general, try to keep your article submission around 800 words or less and your letter under 300 words. Remember Strunk's timeless rule: omit needless words. That said, we will consider longer pieces, particularly if they can be published in parts, when the subject matter warrants it.
We will accept articles in plain text, RTF, HTML, ODT, DOC, and PDF format - but PDF makes us grumpy. You get bonus karma if you submit plain text in Markdown format, which this site uses to format comments from registered users.
Please send a polished, final copy. Check and re-check your work before submitting it. Read it out loud and upside-down, and get a literate friend to proofread it for you. We're all volunteers, and we would prefer not to have to edit a rough draft full of spelling and grammatical errors. :)
Generally, we publish articles related to urban revitalization, sustainability, and economic development, though we sometimes publish interesting pieces about a wider range of topics. We are not looking for a particular ideology or approach (in fact, we welcome a variety of approaches), but it should be related somehow to our core theme.

So what is the scoop on the old Studebaker building on Victoria North.
As well, what about the old school on West Avenue.
Looking for recent information.

Ryan, did you ever think about a Q and A section. I know sometimes I have a menial, unimportant question about a Hamilton issue that is buggin me but don't know where to get a simple answer. Then I figured, what better place to ask than the fine people of RTH, lol. Just a thought.
By ilpo (registered) - website | Posted March 20, 2010 at 19:31:06
woody10 you appear to be looking for an FAQ section
By kendall (registered) - website | Posted September 29, 2011 at 16:54:04
I am the owner and writer of the blog http://theeternalkenaz.blogspot.com/ which can be found in the link section of RTH
Recently I emailed a small group of Hamilton bloggers including Ryan about an idea I had to start a blog page of restaurants in Hamilton aimed at those looking for good and affordable eats. The whole rehash of the background story can be found here,
Since then I have gone ahead and created a post within my blog, linked here http://theeternalkenaz.blogspot.com/2011... The goal is to collect enough submissions to give this post it's own blog. I've had some early encouragement from "The Hamiltonian" as a link of the moment and a couple of antidotes and chuckles from two councilors. I've broken up the list into Wards for easy gathering.I would love to ad more selections from the "celebs" if I can use the term, and the average joe of Hamilton. What better choice than the readers of RTH who always have their ears to the ground in Hamilton.
Goal of "The Hungry Hamiltonian" I am putting together a list of best places to eat cheap in Hamilton- according to the following criteria. The parametres are broad, all cuisines, all eateries, food trucks. Provide a list of what you ate, take a picture even, and provide the cost. Remember 3 courses under $20.00 or a quick snack or sandwich under $10.00. Lets get a list that gives the little man a shout out, the chains can do that themselves.

The following is an email I sent to City Councillors yesterday. Please let me know if you would like a copy of the orginal with the attachments.
Brian Hatch
To: Councillor Ferguson March 7, 2012
Cc: All Councillors
Dear Councillor Ferguson
I am sending this email to you, my councilor, because I am disillusioned, disappointed and frustrated with the existing Integrity Complaint Process.
In an email to Integrity Commissioner Mr. Earl Basse on February 17th I stated: "I understand that your investigation needs to be thorough and complete in order to be objective and fair but it also needs to be timely to be effective and meaningful." I filed my complaint affidavit eighty-one days ago on Dec. 19th and since then I have sent Mr. Basse seven emails requesting information on the status of his investigation. (Attached are all of my emails and the three responses from Mr. Basse.)
To date the only progress that I am aware of is that in his email of Feb. 25th Mr. Basse reports he has finally received a response from the mayor. To my knowledge the Integrity Commissioner has not contacted anyone at The Spec, Cable 14, etc. to verify any of the facts in my affidavit.
I have two requests:
First is that council officially request Mr. Basse report on: A) Why is this investigation taking so long? B) What is the current status of this investigation? and C) When will the final report be issued to council?
Second that the current by-law be amended by adding time lines to the investigation process. My suggestion is that the Integrity Commissioner be required to issue interim status reports every 30 days to council with a goal of issuing a final report in 90 days. If the I. C. needs more time then he should be required to ask council for an extension. The existing Integrity Complaint Process is flawed and needs to be amended to ensure it works in a timely fashion to be effective and meaningful. If not amended then it should be eliminated entirely.
I am looking forward to your response.
Thanks and Regards
Brian Hatch

This comment is about transportation subsidies. According to Transport Canada, $25 billion goes to automobiles, for road building, yearly. And $7 billion goes to transit. The website that I went to does not indicate how much of that $7 billion goes to road building. Governments take in $12 billion yearly, in fuel taxes. So, I see automobiles being subsidized, at the rate of at least $13 billion per year. - I say, "at least", because I don't know how much of that $7 billion goes to building roads (for buses). I have tried asking that question of other sources, but as yet, have not received an answer. But regardless, I see it as an expenditure that benefits automobile infrastructure only, and other transportation infrastructure (ie, for trains, bicycles & pedestrians) not at all. I don't think this is fair. I think that subsidy should be halved: half should go to automobiles (including buses), and half should go to all the others.

This comment is about the cost of construction of lrt systems, compared with the cost of rbt systems. Many people say: "rbt systems are the same as lrt systems, only cheaper. My reply was always: "It's true that construction costs of lrt's are higher, but that cost is more than made up for, by the fact that the trains last a lot longer, so it doesn't cost nearly as much to maintain and ultimately, replace them. But recently, I read an article written by a transportation advocate, Lyndon Henry. He claims, in an article entitled: "Research: RBT can be truly pricier than LRT", that sometimes, the construction costs of BRT's are higher, waay higher, more than four times as much, in fact. I invite you to go to his website, to see how he makes this case.
Automobiles incur other costs that trains do not, such as: Pollution: Tailpipe emissions cause declining health. That costs a lot, in and of itself, in lives, and of course, money. Noise: Trains are quiet, automobiles are not. Some say that street noise is as bad as pollution, causing as much of a decline in health. What does that cost? Car-nage: A report from the Campaign for Road Safety states: "Some 1.3 million people die every year on roads around the world. That amounts to 3500 people every day. Millions more - 50 million people annually - are injured. And those numbers are probably underreported." It also states this: "Road traffic is the leading cause of death for young people between the ages of ten and twenty-four." The Pulitzer Center recently posted a map, called The Roadskill Map, which shows the rate of global roadkill, by country. As an introduction, they state that the annual death toll "has already reached 1.24 million/year, and is on course to triple, to 3.8 million/year by 2030. If I can extrapolate the 50 million injuries/year now, to 2030, that means 150 million injuries/year, by 2030. How's that, for a cost?

Wednesday: The power of volunteerism
Carter Work Project 2012: Wednesday's theme
According to the United Way, in 2008, 61.8 million Americans (26.4 percent of the population) contributed 8 billion hours of volunteer service worth an estimated US$162 billion.
Habitat for Humanity estimates that it mobilizes more than 1 million people annually. Volunteers move our mission forward across the globe, leaving a lasting impact on the people they encounter and the communities in which they work.
The transformation occurs not only in the lives of those who live in the homes, but also in the hearts of those who help build them.
Although volunteerism is a key component of Habitat for Humanity's work, it should be noted that we have limited the use of volunteers in Haiti since the earthquake. This is because of the massive need for local jobs; some estimates cite the unemployment rate at more than 70 percent.
With that in mind, Habitat has provided more than 700 Haitians with job opportunities through its main office and Habitat Resource Centers in Haiti, including employment for more than 200 Haitians to prepare the Santo site and build foundations.

In commemoration of the Worldwide LGBT Civil Rights March, leaders and members of Cebu Rainbow LGBT, Amnesty International Philippines-Cebu, Coalition for the Liberation of the Reassigned Sex and equal rights advocates of different genders, schools, and sectors gathered at the Asian College of Technology gymnasium yesterday afternoon.
With the theme, "Asserting Civil Rights for All through the Cebu City Anti-Discrimination Ordinance," the event upheld the idea of not just the LGBT community leading and living in an equal and discrimination-free society, but also the senior citizens, people who belong to different ethnic groups and religion, and those who have disabilities.
"Kung wala'y mubuhat ani karon, kanus-a pa man (If nobody does it now, then when)?" said Magdalena Robinson, president of the Cebu Rainbow LGBT, referring to the ordinance.
With the assistance and support of Cebu City Councilors Alvin Dizon, Margarita Osmeña, Ma. Nida Cabrera, Lea Ouano-Japson, Jun Pe and John Philip Po II, the Anti-Discrimination Ordinance was drafted. It is now pending at the Cebu City Council.
According to Dizon, the ordinance has been filed earlier this year and the proposed measure received support from different sectors, including the Muslim community.
Dizon said before the month of July, the ordinance would be deliberated on for final approval.
Dizon also added that when the Anti-Discrimination Ordinance will be approved, Cebu City will be the first city in the country to create such a measure.

A new Gallup poll shows that conservatives are the single largest ideological group in the country, with 41 percent of Americans identifying themselves as part of the group, almost double the number for liberals. The problem, perhaps, are those pesky moderates, making up 35 percent of response (and maybe the fact that political views aren't so simple as a three-way response). Which is why Dan Balz can pen a column over at the Washington Post highlighting the Republicans' demographic problems.
Of course, there's plenty of time before the next elections, and already Democrats are worrying that the increasing unpopularity of Obama's spending plan will cause problems in 2010. And new contenders—like Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour—will stake out presidential space before 2012. But if another vote were held today, and states voted along their local approval ratings, Obama would do pretty well.
And before we look too far to the future, there are a couple upcoming campaigns to look at. In Virginia, Bob McDonnell has made it sound as if he won't be running on social issues. That won't stop the RNC from doing so, though, and some Virginia bloggers have reported getting abortion-specific polls. The Virginia gubernatorial race may also show the importance of well-updated and accurate Wikipedia pages for candidates who might not be household names. Then there's also the special election battle in NY-23 to replace new Secretary of Army and former-Rep. John McHugh.
Finally, a little fun: Over at the Fix, Cillizza has launched his own political hall of fame. Take a gander at his inaugural class, and then start thinking up who you will nominate for its monthly additions.

Comvita featured in the third series of NZ Food on a Plate. In a section about Rotorua, guest chef, Eru (from the world-famous, exclusive Tree Tops Lodge) creates a pannacotta dessert using Comvita Manuka Honey UMF5+.
NZ Food on a Plate is a New Zealand-made TV series that showcases New Zealand food and wine from different regions in a way that not only grabs viewers by the taste-buds, but also engages them on an emotional level.
Comvita® featureds in the third series in a section about Rotorua, and the guest chef, Eru (from the world-famous, exclusive Tree Tops Lodge) creates a pannacotta dessert using Comvita® Manuka Honey UMF5+.
The filming took place in the Comvita Visitor Centre and production areas at Comvita HQ in Paengaroa; and was hosted by well-known Australian TV personality Paul Mercurio. Comvita CEO, Brett was interviewed and filmed tasting the different honeys with Paul and Eru, and the Manuka honey featured again when they filmed the preparation of the dessert.
The show has been selected by TVNZ, NZ Sky Food, Air New Zealand's international flights, and Channel 7 in Australia, so keep an eye out for it!
1/3 Cup Water
2 Tbsp Comvita® UMF5+ Manuka Honey
1 (.25 ounce) Envelope unflavored gelatin
2 ½ Cups Heavy cream
1 ½ tspn Heilala vanilla paste
Pour water into a small bowl, and place gelatin sheet in. Set aside.
Place Comvita® Manuka Honey in a saucepan and dissolve, add the heavy cream, and set over medium heat, bring to a full boil, watching carefully, as the cream will quickly rise to the top of the pan. Squeeze excess water of gelatin sheet and place into the cream, stirring until completely dissolved. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in the Heilala Vanilla paste and pour into six individual ramekin dishes.
Cool the ramekins uncovered at room temperature. When cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight before serving.
Comvita has the best flavored Manuka that I have come across, just got the gelatin to try this recipe.
Saw the program on TV, it was great.
Not sure but see on the Tree Tops site he uses traditional wild foods, yum! Manuka honey is good in anything - try glazing ham with it.
Never used ramikins - do they have to be warmed?

Phoenix Suns
Suns president on promotion: 'Putting our money where our mouths are'
Just days after the team's 40-point blowout loss in Detroit, the organization announced a rather unorthodox promotion for their next home contest against the Dallas Mavericks on December 6.
The promotion, which is being called "It's Guaranteed Night," will allow every patron who comes to US Airways Arena to watch the Suns take on O.J. Mayo and the Mavericks the opportunity to have their ticket refunded if they leave unhappy with their respective game experience.
While the Suns actually have a decent home record (5-3) so far this season, Suns president Jason Rowley said the idea actually came during the team's two-game losing streak against the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat.
"Usually fans are interested in wins and losses, I mean that's what everyone is interested in," Rowley told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Friday. "But the one thing we had realized very early on with this team during our first eight home games, they were bringing it every night with a high level of energy and a high level of action.
"There was a positive vibe in the arena. That was happening on games where we were winning and games we were losing. More surprisingly in games we had lost, in particular the Miami and Chicago games, when people would usually leave with the heads down and be quiet, all of us noticed the fans were still positive and there was an electricity in the building�That was something we needed to capitalize on."
The timing of the upcoming promotion may not be an accident, as December 6 will be the first time this season Phoenix plays in a nationally-televised game. And while the gimmicky promotion likely has something to do with putting more butts in the seats, Rowley said it's also a chance for the front office to support their on-court product.
"We are willing to put our money where our mouths are," said Rowley. "We are basically telling our fans that if they come out to the game they are going to have a good time."
While Rowley thinks it's a chance for he and the organization to stand behind their team, their product and the entire franchise, he said in the end its about ensuring the best possible in-game experience. Regardless of the game's outcome, the Suns president wanted to assure fans that they can still ask for a refund if some aspect of their trip to US Airways Center was unpleasant.
Although the Suns have built up a loyal fan base since coming to the Valley in 1968, Rowley admitted the organization understands that selling tickets during current economic times is about providing the best possible experience and the best possible value.
Unfortunately that message might not be hitting home, as Phoenix currently ranks No. 24 in the league in attendance through their first eight games, with only 15,063 fans on average coming through the turnstiles per game.
The average ticket price to attend a Suns game this season is 70 dollars.

The tale of Carlos Zambrano took another strange turn on Friday night as a rough outing turned into an ejection and, perhaps, retirement.
Zambrano was roughed-up in 4-1/3 innings, and giving up back-to-back home runs appeared to push him over the edge. After the Chicago Cubs right-hander was taken deep by Freddie Freeman and Dan Uggla, something seemed to snap, and he threw at Chipper Jones twice before being ejected and calmly walking off the field.
And while the action on the field was odd, what happened off it is over-the-top bizarre. According to reports, Zambrano cleaned out his locker, told a few people he was retiring and headed on his way.
This is not the first time Zambrano has mentioned retirement, but in the past it always seemed like a bit of a joke or his response to questions from reporters. This time around, he left the locker room before anyone even noticed. He reportedly told a Cubs' trainer that he was "retired" and just left with all his belongings (Chicago Tribune via Twitter).
After a rough outing that saw Zambrano give up eight runs, it could just be emotion talking. In the heat of the moment, after giving up five home runs during an awful night, Zambrano's actions certainly should not be taken as definitive. Instead, we'll see what he has to say after sleeping off his bizarre evening and thinking twice about giving up the game.
If Zambrano does retire, he will forfeit the remaining money on his contract, including $18 million in 2012.

The NFL suspended Chiefs OLB Tamba Hali for the first game of the regular season without pay for violating the league's policy on substance abuse.
Hali will be eligible to return to the Chiefs' roster on Sept. 10 following their season opener against the Falcons on Sept. 9. He is eligible to continue participating in preseason practices and games.
"Tamba's situation is unfortunate," Chiefs GM Scott Pioli said. "Obviously, we are disappointed and will miss him during this suspension, but the NFL's policies are very clear and we respect the league's decision in this matter. We are unable to comment further on this matter or any aspect of the NFL's Drug Policy."
Hali is entering his seventh season with the Chiefs and has missed only one game in his career. Last season, Hali, whose base salary for 2012 is $11.25 million, started every game and made 66 tackles, 12 sacks and four forced fumbles. According to NFL.com's Brian McIntyre, Hali's suspension and fine will cost him over $1.3 million.

Meetings will be held every Wednesday when school is in session from 10-11AM. Kat will see Mike about reserving a room in The Union.
2. Signing Up More Registered Members
Put a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in the commuter lounge. Kat is going to create one. Kat is also planning to create a poster with information about the association.
3. Getting Nontrads Togethter
Hold a regularly scheduled social and advertise it. We decided to try a brown-bag luncheon for networking every Thursday at noon. This might happen in the Oakes Room in the Library if the Commuter Lounge is too full. Lisa will create a poster invitation.
4. Getting Single Parents Together
Due to limited resources, we will continue to keep our focus general and applicable to all nontraditional students. Because we can only manage one type of get-together right now, we'll do one for all nontraditional students, rather than just the single parents. We expect as people meet and mingle, it will make sense for those will a particular interest to want something just for that interest and we'll do our best to make that happen.
5. Logo for the Association
Barbara Denaro suggested a logo last year and has ideas for it, but since it's not a priority and everyone's time is limited right now, we tabled it for a future meeting. Barb did suggest that, instead of one of us creating a logo, we have a contest.

EDITORIAL There's a troubling anti-democratic trend taking place in this country, one that's been recently reflected everywhere from the US Supreme Court's decision to strike down key provisions of the landmark Voting Rights Act to City College of San Francisco losing its accreditation and being placed under state control.
Maybe you've only been passively following the City College story, either because it doesn't seem to directly affect you or simply because of mid-summer distractions, but here's why you should care: power has been unilaterally stripped from the Board of Trustees, the people we elect to carry out our will, spend our money (including the parcel tax for CCSF that local voters overwhelmingly approved just last year), and strike the right balance between training students for jobs and universities and offering more community-based programming.
That can be a difficult balance to strike in San Francisco, with its multitude of interests and needs, and we can legitimately criticize how decisions are made or not made by this often dysfunctional board (as we've repeatedly done in these pages over the years). Democracy isn't always the cleanest or most effective way to govern, but we as a country long ago decided that it's an important experiment worth trying, and that it beats more autocratic alternatives.
But Mayor Ed Lee has been all too eager to give up on that experiment when it comes to City College, as he's made clear in repeated public statements since the decision. Asked about the issue during the July 9 Board of Supervisors meeting, including the loss of local control over vital public assets and meeting halls, Lee once again praised the move "to save City College through a state intervention."
Maybe that's not a surprising position coming from a career bureaucrat who was appointed mayor with the support of powerful economic interests, but it should trouble those of us who haven't yet given up on democracy, which is the stuff that happens between elections even more than casting ballots every couple years.
It's about process and protests, coalitions and consensus-building, trial and error. As strange as it may seem to some, the Egyptian military's recent removal of President Mohamed Morsi, whose unilateral dismantling of democratic mechanisms prompted widespread protests, was essentially a democratic act (albeit an imperfect choice between untenable options). That's because that unilateral action was driven by popular will and accompanied by strong assurances to rapidly restore democratic institutions and leadership — something that has not yet happened in relation to City College.
Detroit has long been one of the most troubled big cities in the US, thanks to this country's evaporating industrial sector and other factors. But when Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder implemented a state takeover of the city in March, fully half of the state's African-American population was denied democratic representation. And since then, Snyder and other Republican leaders have magically found the funds that could and should have been offered in the first place to bail this city out. Instead, they've begun packaging up Detroit for the capitalist speculators.
If we aren't vigilant, financially troubled California cities such as Vallejo and Stockton could be next on the urban auction block, and that list could grow from there given the ability of coordinated capitalists to withdraw investments and cripple any jurisdiction that opposes their interests (as writer Naomi Klein compellingly showed in her 2007 book The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism).
And in fact, it is people appointed by elected officials who presided over the disaster.
No, it's a QUALITY issue and quality isn't decided by voters - it is decided by subject matter experts and outside assessors and auditors. And on those counts, CCSF failed disasterously - so much so that it barely passed one of the accreditation criteria.
It is politics in fact that condemned CCSF by making it far too overtly political rather than educational.
Here's what the accreditation commission wrote in their report last year placing CCSF on show cause, i.e. threatening it with closure:
"City College of San Francisco is commended for several exemplary models of demonstrated educational quality based on their program reviews, student learning outcomes and assessment results used for continuous improvement." (pg. 10)
The team concluded that the instructional programs in credit and non-credit programs provide high-quality instruction to meet the needs of the community while also demonstrating the college effort to meet the broad mission of the institution (II.A.1, II.A.2.c)."
(pg. 37)
Guest: Your high quality level of ignorance is impressive.
From what I've read,the quality of the education at this college is exceptional, and the accrediting commission pointed out this fact. The college was cited on issues regarding finances and leadership, not quality. The college is seen as a model institution actually.
I don't want to be mean, but please check your facts before posting stuff. I'm tired of reading unintelligent emotional nonsense. Sorry!
"Guest" has it wrong. Even the ACCJC acknowledged that educational quality was not in issue in its extreme decision. Despite years of huge budget cuts, the governance process at City College resulted in decisions to cut administrative outlays, not instruction or classroom services to students. State statistics STILL show City College has having some of the strongest outcomes of any community colleges in the state.
If serving a diverse, low-socioecomic population of strivers is a political act, then yes, that is what is happening at City College. If the college closes, it will be a bizarre example of a tiny group of unaccountable privatizers (the accrediting agency) run amok with power. Really, fellow citizens, do you believe there is not a way to address the issues of governance and finance at CCSF without annihilating it? REALLY?
Excellent editorial. Fight to save democracy in San Francisco. Fight for the right of everyone to have access to public higher education.
1) Those running CCSF are appointed by those we elect i.e. it's a democratically run institution unless you think that, say, every Muni operator should be elected/
2) Likewise, school inspectors and auditors are appointed by those we elect and rightly so as they are protecting our investments via our taxes
3) The academic quality at CCSF was abysmal. Are you seriously equating it with UC Berkeley or Stanford? We need to invest in excellence and not mediocrity
4) Don't give me that BS about having to give preference to non-whites and the poor. We spend billions on educating people so that they can become economic producers and repay their debt, and not out of some insanely misguided ideological nonsense about punished whites and privilege.
CCSF has failed everyone and needs to be closed down. With all the money we save by doing that, maybe we can start a new institution that actually can pass basic State criteria and standards. What a concept!
"The academic quality at CCSF was abysmal. Are you seriously equating it with UC Berkeley or Stanford?"
What an ignorant statement. CCSF is a community college not a State or UC school. As such, it has functions such as helping high school grads (poorly educated since Prop 13 destroyed the nation's premier public school system) get up to speed so that they CAN transfer to State and UC.
State and UC actively recruit and love CCSF transfer students, because they have one of the highest rates of completion at that level.
On top of which, the CCSF has implemented "student learning outcomes" as demanded by the ACCJC, a metric which State and UC schools aren't even required to implement.
In this way,, CCSF is held to a higher standard than State and UC schools.
Stick that in your neo-liberal pipe.
and so I really do not know why you're arguing that it isn't. If you are smart enough you can get into UCB or Stanford anyway. Why do we have to subsidize a dysfunctional facility like CCSF when our very own State inspectors are telling us it's a hot mess?
"Sorry but CCSF is still the lowest level of educational quality, and so I really do not know why you're arguing that it isn't"
What part of they're not comparable do you not understand? How can you compare a TWO YEAR COMMUNITY COLLEGE to a FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY? You are a moron!
"If you are smart enough you can get into UCB or Stanford anyway"
What part of Prop13 decimated high school education (i.e. college preparedness) do you not understand? What part of kids in poorer neighborhoods don't get the same kind of education that kids in Mill Valley get do you not understand?
"Why do we have to subsidize a dysfunctional facility like CCSF when our very own State inspectors are telling us it's a hot mess?"
The ACCJC are NOT state inspectors; they're a private corporation which gets money from rightwing foundations dedicated to privatizing public education (you should know this, as you probably work for them).
If you want to turn the United States into the libertarian paradise as exemplified by Somalia, then by all means, let's end publicly-funded education so that only rich white kids can go to college.
He said that CCSF is the bottom rung of the educational ladder and you agree. So if we have to cut colleges, it will obviously be the bottom layer.
As it happened, CCSF self-destructed thereby making the decision even easier.
Wasn't like, CCSF graded one of the top ten community colleges in the country recently?
Also, your #3 is pathetic. Its a COMMUNITY college, not a University.
Your #4: We spend money to educate individuals because its practical, not just for ideological nonsense. If you want an uneducated and therefore jobless populace, by all means.
I also find it funny how conservatives (that hate "big government") are very much cheering for the state to intervene and run it at this point, even though the accreditation board is by a private entity (worse).
Other than that, I'm saddened by the loss of CCSF and the loss of democracy for that matter. Great article. We just gotta keep on fighting and keep our voices heard in any way possible.
Wow guest. You are a racist. Now is when I really stop reading your vicious posts.
Hello mates, fastidious article and good arguments commented here, I am actually enjoying by these.
I'd say a couple things, starting with the fact that one can simply look up the ACCJC letter directly at their website, or jump on SF's site and see the latest letters as well as all the past ones.
Second off, I am far from a big ACCJC/WASC fan, because I do think they're been throwing their weight around for political reasons, on behalf of a federal Dept. of Education that has clearly been on a crusade since NCLB legislation got passed a decade ago. For that matter, American education has been crashing since 1832, so a lot of these crusades are way wrongheaded. But to claim that they're right-wing funded is just silly.
Third, the squabbling going on is one of the probs that the accreditors have a darn good point about. CCSF has needed to get on the stick or ten years now, and just make REASONABLE compromises with current reality, and instead, they've spent the time squabbling over what current reality is.
Yes, some of this is antidemocratic. Worse, a lot of it has nothing to do with reality. But the left/liberal languid assertion of privilege, intellectual and otherwise, is a lot of what gets us ino these messes.

Then why didn't he turn over the San Francisco Housing Authority to state officials or even the courts? After all, it was officially deemed to be troubled, lost federal funding because of poor management decisions, now has been declared to have housing conditions similar to a third world nation's slums, and is on the verge of bankruptcy.
Oh, that's right. Ed Lee choose the head of the Housing Authority. And never asked for his removal even after all the crap hit the fan. And now he has put his own staff members in charge -- again.
If ever there were a case for a take-over, it is the Housing Authority.
State have taken over the schools board in the past and where now the Feds are taking over the OPD?
you want that?
Detroit is a shining example of democracy's failure
Your arguments concerning city college vs. the accreditation committee and its criteria are reasonable, and your arguments concerning city college vs. Mayor Lee and denied democracy are reasonable, but left unsaid is what connection, if any, is there between the return of democracy to city college and the return of accreditation to city college.
CCSF failed for it's own internal reasons, mostly to do with unions, working practices and too much ideology.
It's been looking like a doomed institution for a long time, and so this latest deathblow is hardly a shock at all.
The ACCJC is a private corporation that is funded by the Lumina Foundation (which also contributes to ALEC). Lumina and the Gates Foundations have dedicated themselves to overhauling our educational system, but in the end, their overhauling will harm students and make their foundations richer and more powerful. These reforms will make education more expensive and more limited. Students will have to rely more on loans, which is where Lumina makes its money. Reforms will bring more computers into schools (CCSF was criticized by ACCJC for not spending enough on technology and spending too much on actual live teachers). Gates wants all schools to rely more on online instruction and computer programs rather than real people. Why? You have to pay people money that the Gates foundation wants to go to Gates and Microsoft. This is all about corporations wanting a piece of the big pot of public money set aside for education. Why so many of the trolls who post on here about CCSF are so angry is beyond me. My guess is that they attended CCSF, failed and are now bitter and angry that they couldn't even graduate from a community college.

Rutland Town dealing with theftsBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | December 13,2012A large number of vehicles and even the municipal transfer station have been targeted by thieves recently in Rutland Town.
Vermont State Police and local law enforcement have issued multiple warnings in the last week about car break-ins on Town Line Road, Park Lane and Post Road Extension in Rutland Town.
Police also reported that similar break-ins were reported on Cedar Lane in Mendon.
Monday, police reported the latest break-in the office at the Rutland Town Transfer Station where someone damaged a door and a window to break in. State police said the burglary occurred at some point between Saturday afternoon and early Wednesday morning.
Police said they recovered evidence at the scene.
Transfer station manager Tony Flory said the thieves did a lot of damage including about $500 worth of damage to the door and window but found little of value inside.
They ransacked the whole place but there wasnt much for them to take, Flory said.
Checks made out to the town for about $600 were taken, Flory said, but he and other town officials said the checks could not be cashed since they were already made out to the town.
Im thinking whoever is doing this is looking for drug money and not thinking straight, said Stan Rhodes, chairman of the Rutland Town Select Board.
Break-ins arent new at the transfer station or at the municipal pool next to it in Northwood Park.
Flory said there were four break-ins at the transfer station last year while a break-in at the school last spring resulted in the theft of about 15 checks, Rhodes said.
The town installed surveillance cameras around the pool area this fall to deter further break-ins, Rhodes said.
For residents living in the Post Road Extension and Town Line Road areas, Rutland Town Police Chief Edward Dumas said the best way to deter thieves from breaking into vehicles is to take away any incentive to break into a car.
Dont leave anything of value in your car. Its like a calling card to thieves, he said. For people in the town, its not something they see as much as people in the city. Theyre not used to having their cars broken into.
And Dumas said all sorts of items could have value. In one case, he said, a pair of sweaters that a man bought for his wife were stolen and returned to the store where he bought them so the thief could claim a refund.
Asked if police believed that the break-ins were being carried out by the same person or people, Dumas said that was still unclear.
Anyone with information about the break-ins can call Dumas or the state police at 773-9101.

Featured HEREart Exhibition
Works that pair a digital sensibility with traditional practices to question our contemporary experience of veracity, culpability, and empathy.
- About HEREart:
HEREart provides emerging and early career visual artists and curators access to space at an active, well-located multi-arts center. We feature 5-6 exhibitions each year that creatively work with our unique spaces and engage audiences with artwork specially curated to function within a busy environment. This focus on interactive space naturally leads HEREart to function as the center of our community of artists.
HEREart's location as an entryway to our theatres ensures a diverse and eclectic audience will experience the art. HEREart embraces its alter ego as a lobby for HERE's performance spaces and encourages our artists to react and respond to this with their exhibits. HERE is a very appropriate place for today's active and interactive visual art: art
that often moves, makes noise, and physically engages the viewer. HEREart seeks to snag
these passers-by and engage them in a dialogue with the space in which we move. HEREart is invested in supporting artworks of all media and various content (painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, collage, media), but we concentrate on new work that in some way addresses the special conditions of our space.
Every exhibit at HERE is a site-specific installation that stretches our understanding of the words "art" and "performance," creating a multi-layered experience for our patrons that sticks with them as they move from one space to the next.
How to apply
We are no longer accepting submissions for HEREart's 2014 Season. Our call for submissions will be posted in July.
Upcoming HEREart shows
Is Anybody There? Sep 4 - Oct 25

The work in this exhibition shares a sense of time suspended. Or, perhaps, of time simply not taking place.

Beige! is a group exhibition featuring works that fall into that slightly vague description of "beige" using texture, form, and process as the highlight of their work over brightness of color or contrast.

GARNER — Garner has reached the third round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association 4AA football playoffs because its offensive linemen have pushed, poked, prodded and pancaked defenders out of the way for runners and passers.
Coach Nelson Smith said in the preseason that the strength of his club would be the offensive line. Three starters returned from a unit that help propel the Trojans to the NCHSAA 4AA finals in 2011.
Were going to follow where they go, Smith said.
The Trojans followed the blockers on a decisive 99-yard drive on Friday night that helped propel the team to a 76-34 victory over Wakefield. The drive was set up by a huge defensive play.
Garner led 28-21 when Jordan Fieulleteau caught a Connor Mitch pass and seemed headed to the end zone. Nyheim Hines overtook Fieulleteau and knocked the ball free at the 1, where Amari Lanier recovered for Garner.
When we took the field after that play we said in the huddle that we were going to go 99 yards and score and that they couldnt stop us, said tight end Terry Gilman.
Smith called it the biggest drive of the year for his 13-0 club.
Hines stripping the ball was a huge, huge play, Smith said. But when we took the ball and drove it, it was the turning point in the game. It wasnt a big play or anything fancy. It was just blocking and running with a little passing. The offensive line did a tremendous job, but really, theyve played well all season.
The group has bonded well. Garner graduated two offensive line starters, but returned center Blair Doak, guard Anthony Galavotti and Gilman. It was the nucleus of what has become a group that allows the Trojans to rush for 291.1 yards per game and average more than 436.5 yards in total offense. Garner averages 45.6 points per game.
We had some starters and we had some other guys ready to step in, Smith said. Its a good group that works well together.
Garner doesnt have a formal practice on Saturdays, but many of the offensive linemen come each week at 7:30 a.m. to watch game tape with assistant coach Brandon Perry. The group was at ease and comfortable watching individual plays over and over on Saturday after the Trojans piled up 571 yards in total offense against Wakefield.
Cant we just move on, said tackle Terry Whitehead after several times of watching a play where he received a minus grade.
No, here it comes. Boom. Pancake, said 6-foot-3, 305-pound junior tackle Nagee Simpson.
No, he is tackling the runner and you fall on him, Perry corrected as everyone grinned. You grade it. Is that a pancake?
Later, Perry said the players grade themselves more harshly than he does. Grades are intended to motivate, to be a yardstick, but by this time of the year there is little need for motivation.
At this point, grades dont matter at all, said Gilman, a 6-foot-3, 230-pound senior. The pancakes dont matter. We talk about it all of the time. Winning is what matters now. Id rather get a 30 and win than a 90 and lose.
Doak, the steady center, led the teams blocking against Wakefield with a 90, meaning he blocked the right man successfully on 57 of his 63 snaps. Simpson had six pancakes, blocks where an opponent is knocked on his back.
There is nothing as good as making a block and watching the back run by, Simpson said. Were a team and we work together.
Teamwork is crucial in the playoffs. Defenses shift, linebackers and defensive backs make feints, but the offensive linemen have had so many repetitions this late in the season that they usually can make adjustments automatically, unless it is just something weve never seen before, Gilman said.
Whitehead, a 6-foot, 225-pound tackle, said the team really didnt pay much attention to the score against Wakefield as the total continued toward a season high.
I was surprised at the end when we had 76, he said. Thats a lot.
Gilman said he never thinks about the score, only the scoring margin. And against Wakefield and its prolific offense, the lead never really felt safe because of the Wolverines ability to score quickly.
Perry and his charges looked back with pride on Saturday morning, but as the players began to drift out and move to their other weekend activities there was a change in the atmosphere as a video of Leesville Roads 36-30 win over Middle Creek began to play.
One of the Garner linemen said, Three down linemen? when he saw the Prides defensive alignment against Middle Creek.
Dont worry. Theyll have eight or nine up there against us, Perry said.
There always seems to be plenty of people that need to be blocked and Gilman, who also is a standout on defense, said there is great satisfaction in blocking well.
Gilman recalled the words of former major leaguer Pat Watkins from when Watkins talked to the Garner team on Friday, telling them the satisfaction of imposing your will on your opponent.
You push them where they dont want to go and you refuse to allow them to go where they want to go.
Yeah, Gilman said. Thats a pretty special feeling.

- Carry your pepper spray in a convenient place, like your pants or jacket pocket. Don't store it in a purse compartment or any place where you need to waste precious seconds trying to find it so you can use it
- Scream "Stop" or another word or phrase to distract the perpetrator. This enables you to start spraying without his knowledge
- Bend your knees slightly and balance your body evenly on both feet when you use the pepper spray. Raise the canister at least 6 inches in front of your body and aim at the assailant's face.
- Target the assailant at close range so none of the pepper spray will hit thin air or material objects. Fire only when you are ready
- Aim the pepper spray at the assailant's face or directly in their eyes. Keep your focus on the victim's head and keep the stream flowing steadily
- Fan your canister as you use the spray. Release the spray in a side-to-side motion while still aiming at the face and eye area for increased chance of incapacitating the assailant
- Spray the victim with a second burst, then move away. Keep your eyes on the threat and spray again if necessary. Remember that pepper spray takes a few seconds to work, so don't release a second shot too quickly
How to Wash Pepper Spray Out of Eyes:
- Remove contacts, if applicable, using clean hands. To clean your hands, wash them with cool water and a non-oily detergent or soap such as dish soap
- Turn on cool water from your tap or a garden hose. If using the hose, tilt your head and allow the water to gently run over your eyes for 15 minutes. If using a tap, stick your head beneath the running water to let it run into your eyes if the sink is big enough for this; if the sink is too small, you'll need to splash the water into your eyes
- Use a commercially prepared saline solution meant for washing the eyes. These come in bottles with an applicator tip--tilt your head and squeeze the bottle, allowing the fluid to flow into your eyes
- Get medical help if eye pain persists after taking these measures
Package Included:
- 1 x Lady Personal Safety Pepper Spray
