Governance: College Governance Council
The Skyline College Governance Council met on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 2:10 p.m. in room 4343. The group approved the October 23, 2013 minutes and proceeded to address agenda items discussed here.
Currently there are no updates regarding the results of the ACCJC action on Skyline College's Accreditation visit. The ACCJC Board acted on January 8th but at this time we are waiting to hear from them on their decision.
The ALO position here at Skyline College has shifted from the Vice President of Instruction to the Dean of Planning Research and Institutional Effectiveness, Dr. David Ulate.
Classified Employee of the Year
President Stroud announced that each year the Board of Governors selects 6 Classified Employees across the state to be recognized as the Classified Employee of the Year. Each district of all the Community Colleges is invited to nominate one person to the Board of. In the past years, the SMCCCD has had two Classified Staff selected by the Board of Governors as Classified Employee of the year, one of which was Barbara Daley of Skyline College.
The Deadline to submit your nomination is February 10th at 12 noon to Theresa Tentes. At the February 26 board meeting the San Mateo County Community College District Board of Trustees will select the Classified Employee that will represent our district.
The College Governance Council decided that if there is more than one nomination from Skyline College the Council will have a special meeting to select the college nominee. If there is only one nomination submitted to the council, the council will not meet but will vote by email.
(M/S/U Kate Browne/Pat Tyler)
If there is more than one nomination from Skyline College the Council will have a special meeting to select the college nominee. If there is only one nomination submitted to the council, the council will not meet but will vote by email.
President's Innovation Fund
President Stroud reminded the Council that the President's Innovation Fund application is available on the Skyline College website. The President's Council is interested in funding projects that are innovated and are new. The deadline for submission of the applications is Monday, April 7th to Theresa Tentes in the President's Office. Theresa will be updating the website so that the application is easier to locate.
Skyline Shines Award
President Stroud asked the council to review the process for how the Skyline Shines Award recipients are selected and to be prepared to make suggestions on the change of the process if desired. The College Governance Council chooses the internal recipient and the President's Council chooses the community recipient. The criteria will be reviewed and updated by the Council and discussed at the February meeting.
MOT Selection Process
Leigh Anne Shaw shared with the Council that the Museum of Tolerance opportunity is now available to all employees. She wanted to ask the Classified Senate how they will be selecting the Classified Staff who will attend this year. In the past there was a waitlist created for those wanting to attend but were unable to due to budget cuts. This year the Academic Senate and Classified Senate each can choose two people to attend and the College President can select one administrator. It was decided that both the Academic Senate and Classified Senate will review the waitlist from 2008 and work from there to make their selection for the 2014 MOT trip. Regina will check to see if there is a way that the student leaders of the ASSC can attend the MOT trip.
Promise Advisory Committee
President Stroud reported that she recently met with the SMCCC Foundation Director Stephani Scott regarding ways the college enhance its fundraising abilities, maximize the giving culture here at the college and raise resources for the Skyline Promise.
Stephani discussed the issues with the Skyline College Cabinet members. She suggested that the college form a Promise Advisory Committee that would provide advice on enhancing our ability to raise resources so we as a college may further support students and programs. Without opposition, the group supported the formation of the advisory committee. President Stroud will work with the constituent groups to appoint members to the committee. Once the committee is formed Stephani Scott has committed to supporting our efforts to staff and launch the committee.
Middle college
In response to Leigh Anne Shaw's question about the Director of Middle College, President Stroud affirmed that Skyline College has reengaged in the development of the Middle College. The board members have been very clear in their interest in the development of a program such as the ones at Cañada College and the College of San Mateo. It is anticipated that it will take a yearlong planning process to launch the program and have students enrolled. An interim director will be appointed to develop the program. The executive leadership of the college will meet with Superintendents and Principles from the high school districts that we serve next week. The Skyline College Middle College planning will take approximately one year. The plan is to start the Middle College Fall 2015. The planning of the Middle College will build on some of the work that has already been completed with the High School Principals but was abruptly halted due to budget cuts. Dr. Ray Jones will be appointed as the Interim Director of the Middle College.
Academic Senate
Leigh Anne Shaw reported that the first Academic Senate meeting will be held Friday, January 24th. The Academic Senate is trying to move away from Friday meetings due to low attendance. This semester they will be testing new days for the Senate meetings and will have made a decision by the Fall of the new meeting schedule.
The Academic Senate will be discussing making changes to the Professional Personnel Committee. They will be looking at the current charge and encouraging professionalism among colleagues. The committee would nominate faculty for state, senate and local awards.
This spring they will also be revisiting the Academic Senate bylaws which they will need to ratify. Leigh Anne mentioned that she is still looking for an office space for the Academic Senate. Possibly one office that both Academic Senate and Classified Senate can share for Shared Governance work could be considered. President Stroud indicated she would have concerns about one person having more than one office on the campus. During their term, would they be willing to move to the senate office? Leigh Anne indicated that it would have to be thought through. In her case, for example, she is located in the learning center, also in the ELI and also in her faculty office and if there were a senate office, she would be located in that space as well. President Stroud indicated that she would discuss the issue in the CIP process.
Both Leigh Anne and Linda Allen will continue the conversation of planning a joint event with Academic Senate and Classified Senate. An idea that was suggested was a baseball game with one team from Instruction and the other from Student Services. After discussion and an indication that Administration would like to participate, and the idea of a Tailgate BBQ arranged by the Administrators was suggested. This could be a way to raise funds for scholarships.
Classified Senate Report
Linda Allen reported that on December 13, 2013 the first Annual Classified Social was held at Chevy's Restaurant in South San Francisco. About 20 Classified Staff attended the event.
The first Classified Senate Meeting was held January 9, 2014. They Classified Senate is still fine tuning their constitution and by-laws. Linda is working with Dr. David Ulate's office to send the information out to the Classified Staff for review via email in order for all staff to vote.
Linda also shared that the Classified Senate is working with the MCPR department to create a new Classified Senate logo because the previously considered logo incorporated the college's logo which would not be consistent with the style-guide for displaying the college logo
ASSC Report
Kayla Razavi reported that the ASSC just returned from a retreat. They discussed goals for the semester and what the ASSC would like to leave as their legacy.
On Thursday, January 23rd from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. in the dining hall of building 6, there will be a Martin Luther King Jr. dream tree. This is for students to write their dreams and hang them on the tree. Members of the Council were invited to come and participate.
The meeting adjourned at 3:20 pm

WIT Presented to American Association of University Women
Lori Slicton, Coordinator of the Women in Transition (WIT) Program and Professor of Anthropology, was the guest speaker for the American Association of University Women (AAUW), North Peninsula Chapter's Annual Dinner. The AAUW members were keenly interested to learn more about the Women in Transition Program and the experiences of returning female students. Held at the Basque Cultural Center on January 21, 2014, Professor Slicton passionately described to the AAUW the diverse strengths and needs of returning women students, many of whom have led very complicated lives. While there are not any "typical" returning students, many have encountered similar obstacles to acquiring a higher education such as domestic violence or trauma, homelessness, unemployment and general poverty. Many WIT students also qualify for accommodations through the Disability Resource Center. Having said this, some returning students already hold academic degrees. Through the Women's Resource Center, WIT students are also very generous with each other and work as excellent peer advocates and assist each other when in need. Re-entry students, Melody Glines and Shawn Kayln Edwards also spoke about how they have benefitted from the WIT Program. The WIT program provides a unique and vital function for our college by empowering students to be strong self-advocates, clarify their academic goals and to aim VERY high! Thanks to wonderful volunteers and a supportive work environment, the Women in Transition Program continues to grow. The AAUW membership responded very enthusiastically and are excited to work more closely with the Women in Transition Program.

As part of your personal computing account you have access to a secure personal folder (H: Drive) where you should save your work. The H:Drive is accessed through the Computer icon on the desktop.
ISA would like to remind Aston University staff and students that they should endeavour to save their data on their Network Drive (usually H: drive) rather than on their local PC.
If Aston University staff and students need to create and keep data on their local PC then they are personally responsible for keeping copies of their valuable data. Obviously ISA cannot provide any assistance for any loss of data if it is stored locally on PCs or on personal backup media.
All members of staff are automatically given 300MB of storage space. If this is not sufficient you can request increased space by contacting the ISA Helpdesk.
A shared filestore area is to allow more than one person to collaborate on documents using a single, network-based location. Shared filestore areas are designed for many-to-many collaboration using desktop computers connected to the University LAN; for distributing documents on a read-only basis, you may find the University VLE, Blackboard, more appropriate. By default an allocation of 500MB is set for an individual shared area, however this can be increased should it be required.
Request a new shared file store area
All files on your H: drive are backed up to the University Central Backup system each night. The backups are kept on tape for a period of up to 2 months.
Information about restoring deleted files
All of the computers within the University are routinely scanned and cleared of viruses.

CBS 2 - Search Results
SAY WHAT? Fire Washington
Every Sunday Reporter Matt Hammill listens to your voice and shares your opinions in our talkback segment Say What. The topic this week has a lot of people talking.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll out this week indicates the government shutdown may be over, but voters wont forget what happened in congress. Sixty-percent of voters polled say fire them all. After 17 days of gridlock, furloughed government employees and tough times for veterans and businesses near national sites like the Herbert Hoover Museum and Library in West Branch, Marge Wallner says what are we waiting for, just throw them out. Do it .. because they cant get along with each other they cant meet and get civilized with each other.
Many of you on our Facebook page agree. Nancy writes: Yes its time to let people go when they arent doing their job. If you didnt do your job I dont think your employer would say oh its okay, we dont care if you arent performing up to our expectations.
William suggests that the poll showing 60% of voters want to fire their representatives seems curious if not suspect : Psychiatrists are deeply concerned about the 40% who still approve of congress.
However in the New Bohemia Neighborhood of Cedar Rapids Jeffrey Gerlits understands the frustration, but questions the logic: It sounds ridiculous. So we get rid of everybody and then we have to start all over so everything is just put on the back burner further and further and further. What, its been 3 weeks the governments not running , lets throw another 4 months on top of that?
Critics say the real problem with the notion of Throw the Bums Out, is that voters usually want to keep their own bums in. Marge says its just another aspect of the frustration : We should replace all of them, but we always vote for them again .. I dont know why, thats a good question .
If you want to be part of the discussion it continues right now on our Facebook page.

Masters of the Pit: Aaron Franklin
September 20, 2011
Today we feature Aaron Franklin of Austin's Franklin Barbecue, a rising star among barbecue restaurants and recently featured in Bon Appetit, Texas Monthly, The New York Times and Yahoo's Shine.
Thanks for taking the time to speak today, Aaron. I know things have been rather crazy lately so I certainly appreciate it. First of all, would you mind sharing your earliest barbecue memory?
I guess I really have two sets of memories. When I was a real little kid, my grandparents would hang out at a BBQ place playing dominoes and they'd give me money for the pool table. I remember spending lots of time there. Later on when I was about 9 or 10 my parents owned a place and I would always hang out there. For years I thought I knew what good barbecue was but then I realized I didn't! As I've gotten to know food, I see that my palate has changed.
Clearly, barbecue is more than just a way to make a living, it's a way of life. Why do you think barbecue is so important in this country?
It's a food that everyone has childhood based nostalgia for and yet it's different all over the country. It's a real community food, and I think the fact that it takes longer to make makes it more special. Barbecue is special because it takes more effort than grilling something like hot dogs, and you have all that time hanging around the fire, having some beers. It's really the ultimate comfort food.
What do you think has been the secret behind Franklin BBQ's quick rise among Texas's "Must Do' BBQ joints?
I don't know! Our food is good but there is a lot of good bbq out there. I guess all over the country there's ok bbq, maybe we stand out. We are friendly, it's really like having people into our home. This place really evolved from our backyard bbq. We are so passionate it makes a difference. We stick to traditional salt and pepper and we use post oak.
Speaking of tradition, why's Texas so well known for its brisket?
Everything is bigger in Texas, including the chunks of meat. 50 years ago, brisket became a more usable meat because of industrialization. The style, which is German/Czechoslovakian, evolved from immigrants to central Texas who held German-style meat markets.
What barbecue do you dream about? What would you like to try to do that you haven't done?
I don't dream – too tired at night! I would love to do a whole hog but I never seem to have the time. I did add bigger doors to one of my smokers so I can try it sometime.
How do you think your product would hold up on the competition circuit? Have you ever competed?
I'm too busy to compete regularly, but I have done some KCBS contests. And I did a brisket at the last Royal, but we had run out of pepper so I was really surprised when we came in the top twenty! We cook very differently for competitions than we do for the restaurant.
What do you cook at home?
My wife and I maybe cook at home once or twice a week. We will grill some steaks, peppers and lots of other vegetables. We also eat a ton of sushi.
What advice do you have for the backyard grillers out there?
Have fun with it and experiment. Keep working at it – that's how the restaurant came to be, by learning how to do new things. I learned how to weld in order to make the smokers and made the trailer too.
Great stuff! Thank you again for your time and best of luck as you continue to grow your BBQ empire!

If you are a cake owner in the Worcester area and was recently visited by a customer who ordered multiple large cakes with Dim Mak marked on the top. Well that only means one thing: Steve Aoki is in the house! It hasn't been long since we've last spoke about Aoki on our Revo Radar, but it's a pleasure to revisit this artist and his never ending adventures performing all around the world.
I must point out though that the venue itself wasn't as influenced with his music and appearance as his past visit at the House of Blues in February in his Deadmeat Tour. It did bring down the sort of energy that could have been added on to the crowd instead of the basic red and blue lighting paused with not even a fancy flux. Even Datsik who performed earlier this month came through with an impressive lighting appearance performing inside of a bass. But of course we can't blame Aoki for this because he made sure he did his part throughout the night.
As huge Aoki fans, we've seen him live in action quite a few times. We all know that no Aoki party is complete without the cake and champagne but we couldn't help but notice the absence of another signature move. Aoki typically surfs through the crowd on his bright yellow blowup raft. Unfortunately, in Worcester, that was nowhere to be seen (except with the press pass, I found it hanging out backstage). Aoki not crowd surfing was unlike him but of course we had other people to make up for that. A couple of fans found themselves weaving through the crowd.
But we can't say the show itself wasn't good either because if you know Aoki good enough, is that he knows how to go out with a bang. He was able to treat us with some of his new tunes that he recently created in the past few months. Some of his new songs that he released beginning of the summer, "Beat Down" with Angger Dimas ft. Iggy Azalea, and another release late this summer, "Duran Duran, Hungry Like the Wolf". The songs are both very different, which is something that Aoki never fails to bring: some variety. Another song that has returned and made its way to his playlist in some of his shows is Aoki's remix to Girls' "Generation, Mr. Taxi". All amazing songs if I may add with a certain energy and mood that would make the crowd going for sure. That's the thing about Aoki; he will vary from his old school roots of rock and transition it back to electro. A transition I have yet to see anyone disappointed in hearing at his events.
Knowing Aoki, we know for a fact that this won't be the last time we hear from him and we are more than positive that his visits back to Massachusetts won't end here. We will definitely be expecting more from this talented man all over the sound waves and keep an eye out in a city near you because he can be doing an #Aokijump anywhere!

By the way, someone at CBS just got fired...this is the second early reveal for BBAS - first they revealed the Top 20 too early, now they reveal the twist!
ETA: I have posted the twist in white text; highlight to read:

Por favor mantanganse alijado de las puertas.
Sorry...HG is houseguest and BB is Big Brother.
Yea, the twist is huge. The producers pulled out all the stops.
Por favor mantanganse alijado de las puertas.
Well.....as usual, Taylor was right! I was surprised to see that Chicken George was voted into the house over some of the others who were left out. After reading something I did on the CBS website yesterday, I'm guessing that public voting was not the only criteria for making it in. There was a blurb that said something along the lines of "public voting and producers will decide who walks back into the house." I thought Cowboy was gonna cry when he didn't make it!
Should be an interesting ride....
Yeah, the producers picked folks to go in as well. That is how Chicken George got in - the only representative from the first season, he HAD to be in there.
Amazing the comments Will is saying about Kaysar...um, hello hon, who is arrogant around here?
Am I the only one who found Will's last confessional hilarious? "I take offense that I'm not nominated! I'm not real happy with Jase right now, I should be on the block!" I hope he's there for a while, Dr. Will is awesome!
Oh, the Veto competiton is over. Highlight below for name of winner.
>>>>>Jedi Janey has won the Power of Veto<<<<<
And we have a new twist with the competition this time. Again, highlight below.
>>>>>The HOHs and the nominees don't pick their players, Big Brother randomly draws names, thus eliminating the backdoor option.<<<<<
Por favor mantanganse alijado de las puertas.
How did I miss this???? When was it on? ANd what nights will it be on???? I am so upset that I missed the show already!

LOS ANGELES--Tecmo held an event a stone's throw away from the LA Convention Center, where E3 2005 kicked off Wednesday, to determine who was the best combatant in Dead or Alive Ultimate. The Japanese publisher hosted seven finalists from around the world for the week in order for them to compete against each other during the finals, which were held during an evening ceremony.
The collection of combatants boasted a truly international flavor, with reps from the US, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan, Australia, and Singapore on hand. Like the diverse roster of DOA Ultimate characters, the contestants were a rich assortment of individuals, including a soft-spoken Japanese woman in addition to the expected array of young males. All had made it there that night after winning semifinals held in their respective regions.
The evening kicked off with a series of matches designed to thin the crowd of seven down to just two fighters. To keep the matches even, game creator Tomonobu Itagaki joined the fray and clashed with American finalist Daniel Roberson. But the battle between Roberson's Hayabusa and Itagaki's Kasumi was surprisingly one-sided, as the young American actually schooled the veteran developer.
Despite the smackdown, the usually shy game maker laughed out loud as he lost the battle. Later in the evening he admitted that he actually tried his best against his opponent. But Roberson's victory didn't last long--he later lost against Japanese finalist Yuichi Yanagisawa in a heated match that saw his Hayabusa fall to Yanagisawa's Helena.
The closing ceremony saw Yanagisawa handed a check for a $1,000 and Itagaki showing off an unedited version of the Dead or Alive 4 trailer that included some racier-than-normal shots of one of the female fighters.

VIDEO: Council rejects Kirkwood Highway shopping center A proposed shopping center on the Kirkwood Highway is stopped in its tracks by County Council. In pitching the project before Council, lawyer Rich Abbott cited its potential financial impact. "The construction of this project, which is estimated to be in the total $22 to $23 million range will involve the creation of about 480 jobs." After hearing that and other arguments from Abbott, County Council then allowed the public to have their say. Area resident and civic association member Carol O'Donnell says the project's magnitude makes it unsuitable. "A 340,000 sq. ft. regional shopping center on 55 acres would be a major commercial intrusion into an established residential community." County Land Use Department head David Culver says it's the wrong project for that location. "We took a lot of careful language to say that we recognize this is a transitional piece of land, it's zoned as low density residential and they're going from this very low residential density to a very intense use." The stream of opponents including area residents and state lawmakers citing traffic and other quality of life concerns in speaking out against the project. "For those of you who didn't notice the referral was continually to Kirkwood Highway. Actually, this portion of the road is Old Capital Trail. It has a different name because it has a different character. If you drive the road you will notice that," says State Rep. Mike Ramone. After more than two hours of developer presentation and public comment Council members had the final say by voting against the zoning change. Each member cited the recommendations of the land use and planning departments as influencing their votes. |

Jeff Luker strives to celebrate history and transform place with architecture that is fresh and sustainable. Inspired by the robust character of Italy's Tuscan hilltop villages, the transformative skyscrapers created by Louis Sullivan and the more recent "archineering" of Helmut Jahn, Mr. Luker looks for opportunities to optimize both the utility and inspiration of our built environment.
During his long career with QEA, Jeff has enjoyed working on some of the country's most significant buildings, including renewal work in the White House and restoration work at the Old Executive Office and the US Treasury Buildings in Washington, DC. More recently, he is especially proud of his role on HD Cooke Elementary School and the Smithsonian Institution's Seal and Sea Lion Exhibit at the National Zoo.

I have recently switched to the white Sophie Conran dishes for every day. I have 6 place settings which is fine for now but have only a few serving pieces and none of the specialty dishes. I am buying the pasta bowls .. and considering the rice bowls. The round roasting pan looks useful for lots (though I am not sure it's a good size for roasts). Are there any pieces you especially love or recommend? |
Follow-Up Postings:
oh well.. I am adding a post to move this down the list. I know many here use corelle and french/italian countryside (which I also looked at). But I was hoping *someone* had some experience with these pieces (many of which are slightly odd shapes). My niece told me they are perfect for me.. "classic with a touch of unusual". |

I don't have these dishes, but if you're looking for serving pieces, I would get pieces to serve things I had cooked on the stove top and oven to table pieces for casseroles or lasagna. For roasting actual beef roasts or chicken I would use my metal roasting pan and transfer the roast or chicken to a serving platter. I like a roasting pan that I can put on a burner to deglaze the pan for gravy. Anything you actually roast in is going to be greasy and have brown bits all over the bottom when you remove it from the oven, so it's not likely something you'd bring to the table. |
I think the roasting dish for this set isn't very practical for roasting-- but it is very adaptable otherwise. I don't make roasts all that often but when I do, I'd use metal. The pieces are somewhat oddly shaped and oddly sized.. so I'll likely use them intermixed with other pieces and for purposes other than they are named. For instance.. this is the roasting dish.. 11" roundish. I'd be more likely to roast in a metal roasting pan or a cocotte/dutch oven. Thanks for the input! |

Vivian Girls' Katy Goodman, aka Kickball Katy, and Cat Power keyboardist/guitarist/ex-Delta 72 dude Gregg Foreman have a new project, All Saints Day. The first available track "I'll Come Around" sounds like Vivian Girls washing up (or Washed Out) on the beach, i.e. it's warmer and more synthesized than Goodman's other band. There's also something MBV, or maybe Swirlies, about the drum patterns whenever the backdrop swells with the chorus.
