Movie Info
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. -- (C) Lionsgate … More

Critic Reviews for The Hunger Games
All Critics (276) | Top Critics (47) | Fresh (232) | Rotten (44) | DVD (4)
Even when two people are just talking calmly, Ross jerks the camera around. Why? As the sense of danger increases, he has nothing to build toward.
Ross manages to keep the pacing remarkably swift, given that the games themselves don't start until halfway through the 144-minute running time.
Like the select participants of its savage sport, The Hunger Games stands triumphant, if scarred and a bit wobbly from the contest.
It features a functioning creative imagination and lots of honest-to-goodness acting by its star, Jennifer Lawrence, who brings her usual toughness and emotional transparency to the archer-heroine Katniss.
Watching The Hunger Games, I was struck both by how slickly Ross hit his marks and how many opportunities he was missing to take the film to the next level -- to make it more shocking, lyrical, crazy, daring.
Has all the technical ingredients of a great (and even important) film, but sideswipes them in order to leave the audience feeling like that they have been abandoned in the wilderness of extreme cruelty.
Though not at all innovative or original, is at least a worthwhile action fantasy.
Director Gary Ross does a great job in bringing the thrilling novel to life in this uncompromising drama.
The movie is oddly blithe about its central premise. How can this movie set up this monstrous society and this brutal game of genocide and expect us to not only cheer for someone to "win," but also hope she finds someone to kiss in the end?
Lawrence makes Katniss a heroine every bit as strong, fearless and compelling as the patron saint of badass females, Lisbeth Salander.
The filmmakers' devotion to Collins' page-turner will please the book's fans and anyone who likes action, sci-fi, social commentary or a female protagonist with smarts, compassion and survival skills.
An exhilarating debut from the bestselling series about teenagers engaged in a deadly bloodsport.
Given the recent failure of so many big-budget films, the odds weren't in The Hunger Games favor, either. Thankfully, Hollywood got this one right.
The supporting cast is excellent (most notably Stanley Tucci as flamboyant television host Caesar Flickerman, and Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy, Katniss and Peeta's troubled mentor).
Some plot threads are underserved but The Hunger Games is a fascinating and disturbing character drama that successfully captures the core themes of the book.
Sure this entry is a ripoff of "Battle Royale," but it's still an entertaining ride with great casting that will more than likely please fans of the book and those who've never even heard of it.
Despite a few minor problems, The Hunger Games proves to be a promising start to what will no doubt become the next beloved Hollywood mega-series.
While the 12A rating renders any serious violence a tad impotent, there is much more going on here than the fawning and frowning of its soppy vampire peer.
A retread of a tale that's The Running Man meets Lord of the Flies with a dash of Twilight for tween-adoring measure.
I never thought I'd describe a film by Pleasantville and Seabiscuit director Gary Ross as 'whackadoodle,' but if the shoe fits.
The Hunger Games may be a flawed beast, to be sure, but there's plenty of subtext to glean from the narrative, and a slew of wonderfully rich characters worth investing in.
While a great ride of a movie, it is also one wrapped around an oddly disquieting message.
The first genuine can't miss film of the year that you'll want to go back to the theater to see over and over again.
Katniss embodies all that's better than her Hunger Games opponents, being aptly appalled at what she sees while also learning to manipulate her audience.
Audience Reviews for The Hunger Games
The dystopic universe could have been more well explored, while the shaky camera in the action scenes makes it a bit hard to follow what is happening on screen. Still, this is an exhilarating movie that benefits a lot from charismatic characters and great performances.More
Super Reviewer
"The Hunger Games" does everything right that the "Twilight Saga" did wrong. It invests you in the characters, makes you feel emotion for every tribute who is on the "good" side, and creates an atmosphere unlike anything you have ever seen. As Katniss's younger sister Primrose is chosen as tribute to compete in the 74th annual Hunger Games, she will not have it. She volunteers herself to compete. The Hunger Games are a battle to the death. 12 districts across the world compete. It is a televised event that happens out of pure chance. Many of the contenders have been trained, while Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is forced to rely on her hunting knowledge and coaching instructions. As she meets Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), her feelings for the game change, when she finds out that he is in love with her. 24 contestants are forced into battle, only one comes out alive. In this borderline PG-13 flick, the gore is as high as it needs to be, the acting is brilliant by the entire cast, especially Jennifer Lawrence, who pulls off a powerhouse portrayal of Katniss. Emotion runs on high throughout this film and I was on the edge of my seat the entire way through. It does have it's share of cliche's of course, and those are the few minor faults. The shaky camera felt a little off when you try to focus on the action, the chemistry between Katniss and Gale was a bit rushed, and the conclusion of the film leaves you with so many questions. This film does give you a lot of what you want and It is everything a book adaptation should be. "The Hunger Games" is a great starting point for this series.More
Super Reviewer
The first in this series deserves a lot of credit for setting up its world in a way that allowed 'Catching Fire' to build upon it so well, but that movie really shows this up for what it is: a solid dystopian sci-fi flick with an outstanding central performance from Jennifer Lawrence, but also medicore action scenes and two-dimensional supporting characters.More
Super Reviewer
The Hunger Games captures the political and social undertones of Suzanne Collins' brilliant novel while refusing to exploit the idea of kids being trapped in an arena to fight to the death. It is a great science fiction picture because of its pacing, ensemble cast, and portrayal of a nation that governs its people through fear and fascism.More

Potato Gnocchi
Serves 6 (makes about 100 gnocchi)
- 2 ½ lb. russet or Idaho potatoes
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- ¾ cup potato starch
Serves 6 (makes about 100 gnocchi)
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Prick potatoes all over with fork, and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until soft to touch. Slice open, and let cool 10 minutes.
2. Scoop out potato flesh (it will still be hot); reserve skins for another use. Mash potato flesh in bowl or put through potato ricer. Stir in salt, then egg with fork. Stir in potato starch until dough comes together and no longer sticks to fork or your hands.
3. Scoop out 1/2 cup dough, and roll into 3/4-inch-thick rope on work surface dusted with potato starch. Cut rope into 3/4-inch pieces. Set back of fork atop 1 gnocchi, and use fork to roll gnocchi toward you, making light indentations with fork tines. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Bring pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi, and cook 2 minutes, or until gnocchi float to top. Drain, and serve.January/February 2013 p.38

Can I make this with sweet potatoes? Could I use another starch instead of potato starch? I love gnocci, but my partner is allergic to potatoes.Sue - 2014-01-06 16:46:30
I have not made this recipe but I have noticed that many recipe sites use the terms "potato starch" and "potato flour" interchangeably. They are very different products and I suspect that the use of potato flour would yield unindesirable results.DD - 2013-09-01 21:28:39
This didn't work for me at all. I followed the recipe completely, but my dough fell apart! I tried kneading it and that helped a little, but when it came time to roll the gnocchi they fell apart again. I wouldn't try this recipe again.Emily - 2013-06-28 21:02:07
These worked out really well had zero problem cooking and tasted delicious. Thanks!Robin - 2013-06-19 17:26:18

NASD Notice to Members 04-83 - November 2004
NASD Requests Comment on Whether to Propose New Rule That Would Address Conflicts of Interest When Members Provide Fairness Opinions in Corporate Control Transactions; Comment Period Extended to February 1, 2005
Executive Summary
NASD is requesting comment on whether it should propose a new rule that would address procedures, disclosure requirements, and conflicts of interest when members provide fairness opinions in corporate control transactions. A fairness opinion addresses the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration involved in a transaction. Investment banks typically provide fairness opinions in corporate control transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, the disposition or divestiture of material assets, divisions or subsidiaries, and buybacks of outstanding securities ("transactions"). The scope of the investment bank's involvement typically is set out in an engagement letter between the bank and the company.
Investment banks that render fairness opinions may be influenced by whether the company's management supports the transaction. In other words, the investment bank may find that the transaction is fair from a financial viewpoint if the transaction is favored by the company's management, and, alternatively, opine that the financial terms are not fair if management opposes the transaction. This conflict may be especially strong when a transaction that is supported by management is also one in which the investment bank acted as the financial advisor to the company in recommending or structuring the transaction and/or where the investment bank will receive financial advisory fees upon successful completion of the transaction.
NASD is considering whether to propose a new rule that would require members to:
(1) disclose in any fairness opinion appearing in any proxy statement any significant conflicts of interest, including, if applicable, that the member has served as an advisor on the transaction in question, and the nature of compensation that the member will receive upon the successful completion of the transaction; and (2) require specific procedures that members must follow to identify and disclose potential conflicts of interest in rendering fairness opinions.
Questions concerning this Notice should be directed to Joseph E. Price, Vice President, Corporate Financing, at (240) 386-4623; or Gary L. Goldsholle, Associate Vice President and Associate General Counsel, Office of General Counsel, Regulatory Policy and Oversight, at (202) 728-8104

'The Tomorrow People' Recap: The Origin of John Young
Becca RitchieBecca Ritchie claims she's from Mystic Falls, but really, she lives in Atlanta where humidity is her greatest foe. She loves comic books, blue nail polish and Jonathan Taylor Thomas circa 1995. She frequents Twitter to dish about CW shows, and when she's not blogging, she reads too many YA and NA books. She's an Amazon Bestselling Author of the Addicted series, a New Adult Romance. Follow her on Twitter @Becca_Ritchie.
[Spoilers from episode 4 below]
Last night made one thing very clear. "The Tomorrow People" is not a show focused solely on Stephen, a kid just breaking into his powers. This is an ensemble piece with dynamic three-dimensional characters. As an "X-Men" junkie, I'm hesitant to compare the famous mutants to other realms of pop culture. "X-Men" is not just about powers. And "The Tomorrow People" made that claim last week and tonight. This show is not just about kids who can teleport and mind read. It's about being "different" but also trying to be human in the face of severe persecution. The depth is blowing my mind, and it reminds me why I truly love comic books, origin stories, and great writing.
Let's discuss the good, great and brilliant moments. Stick around for a poll at the bottom to weigh in on the episode!
The Good: The Annex Project. (Thank God for this secret!) I groaned a little when we first found out the tomorrow people's weakness. They can't kill — literally they begin to shake and spasm and then back away. So they're the opposite of Green Arrow (who has no problem eliminating his foes) and they're arguably the worst part of Superman (he's morally against taking a life). When Killian McCrane — former Ultra agent — goes on a killing rampage, we find out that Jed once experimented on the tomorrow people to alter their inability to kill. McCrane was a test subject, and after he fled Ultra, he became a prime enemy, essentially free of the biggest weakness and now on the run.
The Annex Project, I clearly love. Even though the project is soulless and evil, its existence opens new complications and more room for the good guys to overpower Ultra. But Killian had no intention of being a good guy since he wanted to kill John Young. They both used to work together at Ultra, and when John escaped the organization, Killian thought he'd want to team up. Uh, no. John declined, and then Killian left him in a room rigged with over a dozen bombs. In super-speed mode, John disabled all of them, with a little help from Stephen. How cool was that scene?
Also a good plot twist: Jed went back on his deal with John and tried to kill both Killian and John at the same time. He failed. Jed is unfailingly selfish. He has this Magneto quality where he wants to protect his species above all, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish his goal. It's scary, but it's thrilling to watch. I hate him, but I don't loathe him. And John's childhood only made Jedikiah's character even more complex.
The Great: John Young's origin story. This was almost the most brilliant moment of the night. I am a sucker for a good origin story. Cara's last week had my heart in knots. And John's was equally as tortured. He grew up in the foster system, and he uses his powers for good, stealing food for his foster siblings. The whole episode focused on killing ("kill or be killed, son"), and John struggled with wanting to hurt his foster dad but not being able to follow through.
After Jedikiah brings John into Ultra (at a much younger age than I thought!), the confused and distraught boy returns to his foster home, proclaiming that he wants to go back and leave Ultra. He's Jed's brightest pupil, but that doesn't matter to John. Something made him want to leave, and by that point, we're not exactly sure what frightened him so much. His foster father isn't as receptive to John's homecoming. He beats him while John tries to fight back with his powers. And then Jedikiah shows up and shoots the foster dad.
For a second, I almost liked Jed. I was happy that someone saved John Young from the horrible abuse, and then I realized that Jed didn't kill the guy to help John. Nope, he did it because the guy saw John use his powers. And no one can expose the tomorrow people, Jedikiah often exclaims.
Jed and John's relationship has proved to be one of the most interesting facets of the show. "I am not your son," John tells Jedikiah at the Noodle shop. But he also told Cara that Jed is the closest thing he has to a father. Gah, it's so great.
The Brilliant: John can kill! What? Who saw that coming? I sure didn't. "You want to know why I left Ultra? Because they turned me into you," John says after shooting and killing McCrane. And John explains that killing destroys something in his soul that he'll never get back, which is why he never wants to do it again.
"I hate you for what you made me." — John
"I made you strong and perfect." — Jed
Brilliant. Just brilliant. The "killing" weakness has a whole knew meaning. And take it from someone who hated that plot line — I now love it. Do you? Really, it adds a new dimension. The more John kills, the more soulless he literally may become. Which would explain why Killian was so dang evil.
Since the episode was all about the psychology of killing, I want to know your thoughts on the tomorrow people's greatest weakness. Are you a fan of superheroes who truly eliminate their opponents — a la Green Arrow? Or do you prefer the moral compass like Superman?
Since I didn't talk about this scene in the poll, a little reminder: Stephen teleported into an exploding car with Jedikiah behind the wheel. He saved him. Was that the right move? According to John Young, he should have let his uncle burn.
So now it's your turn. Every week, your opinion will be heard. Vote on the weekly poll below!
– Becca Ritchie

Styling Tip
Apply a quarter-size amount of light-weight styling lotion onto damp hair. Using a paddle brush, blow-dry two-inch sections of hair at a time to straighten. Lightly coat your fingers with styling cream and run through hair to create separation. Produce a center part. Take a one-inch section from in front on each side of your part and direct back. Pin into place. Mist with shine spray for added luster and hairspray for hold.

In the next 5 years, Japan's Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. plans to halve the number of its overseas production sites in order to boost profitability, according to the Nihon Keizai business daily.
Currently the Panasonic brand maker has about 170 production sites abroad, and plans to shut down those showing poor financial performance in a bid to raise its operating profit margin to 10 percent in the year starting April 2010, double this year's projected margin of 5 percent, the paper said.
A company spokesman said Matsushita had no specific plans to cut half of its sites.
Matsushita President Fumio Ohtsubo has said Matsushita would seek growth by boosting overseas sales and aggressive cost cuts. Its overseas sales accounted for 48 percent of its group revenues of 8.9 trillion yen (approx. U.S. $76.3 billion) in the last business year.
The company will close or consolidate some 130 manufacturing units, and 40 factories that have not made a positive return on investment in 8 years, or have posted declining sales, a negative net cash balance, operating profit margins of less than 3 percent or capital costs in excess of operating profits for three straight years, the paper said.
According to the paper, these criteria will apply to many small and inefficient production sites in Southeast Asia, and the shutdowns will enable Matsushita to concentrate more funds in Brazil, Russia, India, and China.

Classroom Technologies | News
An interactive whiteboard company is joining forces with a news network that delivers its broadcasts to teens in middle and high schools to deliver media and activities to whiteboards in the classroom. Promethean, which sells the ActivBoard product line along with classroom response systems, has partnered with Channel One to deliver the latter company's daily news program via the its hardware.
The alliance has produced Channel One News InterActiv, which, beyond delivery of the daily news program, will offer assessment activities, pop quizzes, and collaborative exercises tied to current events and integrated with the response devices.
In the same announcement, Channel One said it would be offering a version of its InterActiv product for students in grades three through five, a younger population than it has traditionally served with the broadcasts.
In both sets of offerings, supplemental digital content will be available for instructors to help them add skills development into the lessons in areas such as collaboration, problem solving, and critical thinking. These lessons, according to the two companies, will be aligned with standards in core content areas, including math, language arts, history, science, and geography.
Teachers will also be able to develop their own skills through daily "bite-sized" lessons tied to the skills modeled in the broadcasts. They can take their skills development online as well by participating in a dedicated community within Promethean Planet, Promethean's online education community.
The companies said the new resources be available for the 2011-2012 school year.
"Ultimately, teachers are always looking for new, effective ways to connect and engage with students to make learning meaningful, relevant, and fun," said Promethean CEO Jean-Yves Charlier. "Blending the power of broadcast news with interactive tools will tie real-world situations to learning and challenge students to become educated, engaged global citizens."

'Study Paws' at West Campus
Finals week is fast approaching. Tests bring stress, and the possibility of a meltdown.
Rather than letting stress consume you, consider stopping by the West Campus Library to relax with therapy dogs during a "Study Paws" event.
The therapy dogs will visit the library on May 13-15 and 19, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Students, faculty and staff are welcome.
Librarian Rosanne Couston said "Study Paws" is practiced at many colleges throughout the country.
"The dogs are a nice way of helping students reduce their stress and anxiety during that final push at the end of the semester," Couston said.
Some of the dogs visiting the Pima campus will also make trips to the University of Arizona Law School, the UA Honors College, hospitals, elementary schools and nursing homes.

Scholars earn national recognition
Three Pima Community College students have been selected to the 2014 national Coca-Cola community college academic teams for Phi Theta Kappa Society.
Eric Humphrey, a pre-medicine major, and Pamela Contreras, an international business management and marketing major, were selected as silver scholars. They will each receive a $1,250 scholarship and a silver medallion.
April May Ramey, a paralegal studies major, was selected as a bronze scholar. She will receive a $1,000 scholarship and a bronze medallion.
The three were among 12 PCC students earning Phi Theta Kappa All-Arizona Academic team honors, which are based on leadership, service to the community and academic achievement.
Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society is the largest college-level honor society, with 1,250 chapters in all 50 states and other countries. Pima's Alpha Beta Chi chapter is one of the largest PTK chapters in the Arizona region. Miranda Schubert is lead adviser.
The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation Program honors 150 scholars every year. They will be recognized on April 25 during Phi Theta Kappa's annual convention in Orlando, Fla.
Two receive math scholarship
Two Pima Community College students have been awarded the 2014 Art Alberding Math Scholar Award. The winners, Hoang Le and Phillip Showers, both attend PCC's East Campus.
Le is a math and chemistry tutor and hopes to become a mechanical engineer. "I help other students move from the fear zone, scared of math to love learning math," Le said.
Showers tutors math, chemistry, physics and writing. He plans on earning a bachelor of science degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Arizona.
"I want to innovate and change our current standards for consumer electronics," Showers said.
The Alberding award, presented annually to qualifying Pima students, is named after a founding member of the college's math faculty, Art Alberding.
Alongside donations through the PCC Foundation, the scholarships are funded with proceeds from the annual Alberding Amble 5K and one-mile Fun Run/Walk. This year's event was held April 12.
"We are really proud of Phillip and Hoang, two exceptional students who are dedicated to using their talents to help others," mathematics department chair Kirk Mehtlan said in a press release.

Dream Night Prom
The Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern Arizona will celebrate its 9th annual Dream Night Prom on March 29 at Pima Community College's Downtown Campus.
Candlelighters is a local charity that provides support, education and advocacy for children and teens with cancer, as well as family and cancer survivors.
"This prom affords a magical and very healing experience for the many teens who participate," Candlelighters' Program Director Beverley Tidwell said.
"The challenge for a child diagnosed with cancer is multifaceted, the treatments can disrupt the usual social activities and important milestones are often missed."
Volunteers from PCC Student Government, the Downtown Campus' Diversity Club, local servicemen from Davis-Monthan and other community members will staff the free event.
"This event would not be possible without the generous donation and sponsorship provided by the local community," Tidwell said.
The Dream Night Prom will be held in the Amethyst Room from 6-9 p.m. For more details, contact Beverley Tidwell at email@example.com or 609-8953.

Veteran's Center dedication set for March 14
By NICK QUIHUIS
The new Veteran's Center at Pima Community College's Downtown Campus will be dedicated March 14 at 11:30 a.m. in room RV-150.
The ceremony will include guest speakers, a color guard and light refreshments. Following the ceremony, visitors and students may tour the center and meet with PCC's student-veterans.
With a growing number of student-veterans, the previous center was deemed inadequate for fulfilling the needs of students. The new 1,500-square-foot center contains a kitchenette and space for study.
"PCC is committed to doing right by the student-veterans who come to the college seeking a path to productive civilian life," Chancellor Lee D. Lambert said in a press release. "The veterans talked, we listened, and the result is a new center that meets their needs."
Each semester PCC educates about 1,400 veterans, according to college officials. Many have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The veteran's center includes a new "quiet room."
The quiet room's purpose is to provide a calm environment for student-veterans who may not want to combat additional stress. The room includes comfortable seating and dimmable lights.
The quiet room serves as a place that veterans can use if they need to feel grounded. The room may also be used as study space for groups and individuals.
The Veteran's Center works closely with the Student Veterans Club, which formed four years ago at the Downtown Campus.
For more information, contact Constance Strickland at 206-7172.

Nurses receive certificates
By Michael Anderson
Eleven students received their practical nursing certificates in a ceremony at Pima Community College's Desert Vista Campus on Jan. 15. The event included a Practical Nurse Pinning Ceremony, complete with a candle-lighting and recitation of the "Nightingale Pledge."
Practical nursing is among the nearly two-dozen certificate programs offered by the Center for Training and Development based at Desert Vista Campus. The CTD offers high quality training for in-demand fields including business technology, culinary and food industry, medical office, and surgical technology.
Licensed practical nurses work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, doctor's offices and nursing homes. According to a press release by the college, healthcare is the fastest growing industry in America and prospects for practical nurses are better than for most jobs, particularly in Tucson.
For more information on practical nursing or any of the CTD's other programs call 206-5100 or visit pima.edu.
Healthcare enrollment fair
By ANDREW PAXTON
Health and community organizations were at Pima Community College campuses on Jan. 23 and Jan. 24 to deliver information to students about the importance of health insurance and how to get enrolled.
"Even if you are young and healthy, having health insurance guards you against astronomical medical bills for accidents or unexpected illnesses," said Cheryl O'Donnell, Arizona state director for the Get Covered America campaign, in a press release.
"Without coverage, each of us is one step away from being financially wiped out by debt from a visit to an emergency room, which could cost thousands of dollars without an overnight stay," she said.
More than 3 million people have signed up for insurance since Oct. 1, when the marketplace opened, according to figures released by the Obama administration.
Trayvon Martin: Do We Look Suspicious?
Pima Community College will host a "Project Hoodie" panel discussion on racial profiling, gun laws and criminal justice on Nov. 15 from 9-11 a.m. at Downtown Campus in the Amethyst Room.
The college is cosponsoring the event titled "Do We Look Suspicious?" along with the Center for Community Dialogue and the NAACP.
The Project Hoodie forums were spawned by the February 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old black American who was shot and killed in Florida by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
Pima also hosted a forum, "A Tucson Conversation on Race" last year following the shooting.
The forums are free and open to the public. They are intended for those 13 and older.

Savings to Scholarship Program
Student loans are hard to apply for and aren't getting any cheaper, but a new tuition-saving program can help with the high cost of education.
Students eligible for the "Savings to Scholarship" program will receive an 8-1 match on savings toward their tuition costs at one of the state's universities. Maximum match is $4,000 on $500 in savings.
Pima Community College Chancellor Lee Lambert is encouraging students to apply for the program.
"This scholarship opportunity gives students the incentive and support to be successful as they continue on their path toward educational achievement," he said in a press release.
Helping University Bound Students Live the Solution, a non-profit organization, is running the program.
For students planning on attending a university in Fall 2014, the deadline to be accepted to the program is Nov. 15. The first step is to fill out an online survey at azearntolearn.org/eligibility/participant-survey or visit livethesolution.org for more information.

Pima's governing board reviews bylaws
By ANDREW PAXTON
Pima Community College's Board of Governors is reviewing and revising its bylaws, a crucial step to getting sanctions removed by the Higher Learning Commission.
The HLC, the college's accrediting body, placed Pima on probation in April. It sent a fact-finding team to Pima in January to investigate numerous allegations of violations.
The governing board met for a study session on Nov. 7 to review the bylaws and make corrections and additions needed to bring the college into compliance with operating criteria.
Among other findings, the HLC team determined that "the board has failed to appropriately review many of the college's policies, regulations and standard practice guide procedures as a matter of routine business or to review these items following administrative action."
Many board policies were written in the 1970s and some have not been updated in more than a decade, according to the report.
"This team believes the board has essentially abdicated appropriate oversight of college operations in personnel policies and actions," the report said.
Now the board is working to ensure that procedures and policies are clear, up-to-date and in compliance with the HLC's expectations.
Another issue cited by the HLC when the college was placed on probation was the lack of faculty involvement with board decisions. The board discussed how to give staff, specifically adjunct instructors, more input.
"What we want to do is give a stronger voice to adjunct faculty since they teach such a large fraction of our classes," board member Scott Stewart said.
Board member David Longoria agreed.
"I think it is essential to include adjunct faculty representation, because for too long they haven't had a seat at the table," Longoria said. "They deserve a voice just like everybody else."
The board was unsure whether Faculty Senate or Staff Council represents the concerns of part-time instructors or adjuncts who may teach one or two classes.
"Not all people are members of these groups," board member Marty Cortez said.
The members decided to study the matter further and make a decision regarding the best way to include adjunct faculty participation during a future session.
They also discussed operational matters such as how to add items to their agenda, the formation of committees and updating the college's discrimination policy.
Recognizing that the bylaws may not be revisited for years to come, the board members said they understand the importance of making the rules definitive and manageable.
"We need to be cognizant that we are amending these bylaws for future boards, not just for our own usage," Longoria said. "We want to empower future boards with good ways of governing themselves"
"I would like to see what the best practices are," board member Sylvia Lee said. "What are some of the other governing boards doing?"
The board members will continue revising their bylaws before putting them to a final vote at a regular meeting. The next study session will be held on Nov. 19 at 5 p.m. at the college's district office, located at 4905 E. Broadway Blvd., in the community room.

PCC hires interim campus president
The retired president of Santa Fe Community College, Sheila Ortego, has been hired as interim president for Pima Community College's Community Campus. Her first day at Pima was Oct. 28.
She is scheduled to stay at Pima until mid-2014 while the college searches for a permanent hire. Her salary will be $173,000 a year.
Ortego served as president of SFCC from 2006 to 2012. In 2011, she was named a top-performing CEO by an Albuquerque, N.M., business magazine.
"Sheila has proven herself to be a capable, innovative leader at the highest level of community college governance," Chancellor Lee Lambert said in a press release. "She will be a valuable addition to the college as we move forward."
Ortego received her doctorate and master's degrees in American Studies from the University of New Mexico.
Community Campus is known as PCC's "virtual and distance campus" because of its oversight of online courses. The college's non-credit course offerings are also based there.
The campus presidency has been vacant since the June retirement of Suzanne Miles, a former provost. Desert Vista Campus President Johnson Bia filled in as interim president.
Ex-Raytheon executive heads human resources
Pima Community College has hired Mark D. Ziska as the interim vice chancellor of human resources after a series of public candidate forums. His salary will be $180,000 a year.
Ziska was a human resources executive at Raytheon from 1998 until 2007. His responsibilities included labor and employee relations, organizational effectiveness, and community and government relations.
"Mark's experience heading human resources in a large organization, combined with his deep knowledge of Tucson and his sincere passion for PCC, makes him a perfect fit for us," Chancellor Lee Lambert said in a press release. "I'm confident he's the right person for the position."
Ziska has been a member of the PCC Foundation Board for 15 years. He spent a term as chairman of the board, and established a support fund for adult students with potential learning disabilities.
Foundation Executive Director Cheryl House complimented Ziska.
"Mark has been an outstanding leader for the PCC Foundation," House said in the press release. "His commitment to Pima and our students … is a positive example for others."
Ziska received a bachelor's degree in psychology from Western Michigan University, and a master's in industrial psychology from California State University-Long Beach.
The vice chancellor of human resources post has been vacant since July, when Janet May resigned to take a job with Houston Community College.
Scholarship fund honors Pima founding instructor
A memorial scholarship fund has been established to honor Pima Community College professor emeritus Lee Scott.
Scott died at University Medical Center on Oct. 19 after surgeries. A memorial service was held Oct. 26.
For information about the David Scott Memorial Scholarship Fund, contact the PCC Foundation at 206-4646.
Scott came to Tucson with his family in 1958 to be the campus minister for the Wesley Foundation at First United Methodist Church. He also played a role in founding the Campus Christian Center at the University of Arizona.
In 1969, Scott joined the founding faculty of PCC. He taught humanities and worked as a guidance counselor. Scott was active with college leadership until he retired in 1990.
More recently, Scott was active in the Pima Open Admissions Coalition. The group opposed plans to change PCC's open admissions policy.
He received an undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California, then attended Garrett Theological Seminary at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. He continued on to Yale University, where he received a doctorate degree.
Scott was preceded in death by his wife, Kaysie and son, David Randall. He is survived by his wife, Edwina; daughters Nancy and Sue; stepdaughter Kim Besen, and granddaughter Danielle.

Athletics: Cross Country
Program Overview:
During the last two decades, cross country at Muhlenberg College has risen from a casual collection of runners to a team committed to excellence in the pursuit of high achievements in the Centennial Conference and beyond.
Cross country season begins with a preseason training camp in late August and ends in mid-November with the NCAA Division III Mideast Region Championship, at which runners have the chance to qualify for the national championship. Muhlenberg runs mainly in multiple-team invitational meets, on Fridays and Saturdays, with the competitive season beginning in September. The Mules regularly compete against some of the top Division III programs, including Dickinson, 2012 and 2013 women's national champion Johns Hopkins and 2010 men's national champion Haverford, and face stiff competition throughout the Centennial Conference, which frequently places five teams in the top 10 at the regional meet.
Although no formal practices are held in the spring, most cross country runners stay in shape year-round by competing on the Muhlenberg track team.
Training consists of a mix of distance running, pace or tempo runs, off-track intervals and hill workouts and is done on cross country-style terrain, i.e. trails, grass, cinder pathways, dirt. Training sites include two nearby intercollegiate cross country championship courses, including the 5K, 8K and 10K NCAA layouts at Lehigh University; several locations in Allentown's scenic parks system; a state park; a corporate fitness park; and quiet country roads. Muhlenberg workouts are known for their high degree of organization, variety, creativity and participation by coaches.

Viridian – Scam? or Legitimate Opportunity?
Viridian – Scam? or Legitimate Opportunity?
Viridian, founded in 2009, provides an alternate energy supply alternative option. With energy deregulation, customers have the opportunity to choose their service provider. Viridian provides competitive rates to other providers in their markets.
Viridian offers a direct sales business opportunity that allows individuals to join Viridian as an associate and sell energy services. With two enrollment options ($199-$399), Viridian associates earn income through both new associate and new customer enrollments.
While Viridian scam claims exist, I found nothing to suggest Viridian is anything but a legitimate opportunity. Most scam claims arise from individuals who did not do the necessary work, or develop the skills necessary to succeed. The bottom line is this, you have to treat network marketing like a business, and put in the time and effort, invest in your business and yourself, and develop the skills necessary to succeed.

Chicago Snow Corps is a new program that connects volunteers with residents in need of snow removal – such as seniors and residents with disabilities.
While winter can be hazardous for everyone here in the City of Chicago, it can be especially difficult for elderly and physically disabled residents, who may not have the ability or resources to remove snow from their sidewalks and walkways. Chicago Snow Corps aims to help minimize potential heavy-snow emergencies by pairing volunteers with blocks where elderly and disabled citizens have requested help.
To request a volunteer to shovel your block in case of extreme snowfall, call 311. This is a volunteer-matching service. The City will do its best to match those who have requested assistance.

Some Posties Get Out, Others Not So Much
..as witnessed by J. Freedom du Lac's roundup of his Washington Post colleagues' top music choices for 2008.
Mike Wise? Barely listens to music. Gene Weingarten? He likes Beyonce?!? Marc Fisher? Kid Rock. And Ally Schweitzer listens to music you've never even heard of and probably can't even pronounce (Lindstrom? Notwist?)
Loads more here.
