This short week has flown by as short weeks tend to do. Having Tuesday off (thank goodness for Melissa's guest post !) after Vegas meant only three days before I can finally catch up at home. Two big events await though: a friend's wedding and Feast in the Field . I'll have lots of photos to share come Monday!
Amy from Three Rivers emailed us about our weekly CSA pickup , letting us know that due to drought, some crops on the farm are struggling (broccoli and many greens) while others are flourishing (tomatoes, cucumbers, squash!). As of earlier this week, the farm was going onto week FOUR of no rain. It rained a bit yesterday so I hope some quenched their dry earth.
This week's CSA saw a few new items, like the above head of cabbage. We also received green scallions (instead of red like last week), Swiss chard…
…and multi-colored beets!
I have never been a huge fan of beets but I have also never prepared them myself, so I'm looking forward to experimenting.
We also received the CSA regulars spinach, turnips, and lettuce. Speaking of turnips, we roasted them last night and they were fantastic!
With turnips, you typically peel the skin as it's pretty bitter. Once peeled, they can turn sweet and are similar in texture and taste (sort of) to potatoes. You can even make mashed potatoes turnips!
Roasting steps:
That brown ball next to the turnips is a meatball, which is equally as easy and a great way to add greens to your dinner!
I used this recipe from the Talking Kitchen . She takes great food photos and always posts recipes that are approachable for every cook. Basically, you use a fairly traditional meatball mixture (ground beef, spices, breadcrumbs, minced onion) and add chopped spinach!
This is a great way to sneak extra greens into your food without actually tasting them. Also note the red scallion I sprinkled on top!
The best part of this meal was that everything on the plate is local. That's a pretty fabulous way to eat!
Happy Friday!
Question: Best beet preparation? Give me ideas for beets!

One tiny cubby
Melissa from Colorado Springs, CO – Verified Buyer
i can't really fit much in here and can't believe it costs so much for just one cubby! This cubby barely holds a few pairs of mittens and a couple small winter caps for my babies.
Great product, as described.

Borges: between zero and infinity
Abstract:The concepts of zero and infinity have never ceased to perplex philosophers, mathematicians and scientists, especially since the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Using these concepts in regard to the notion of spatial dimensions, and in view of Borges's 'Death and the compass', holds some surprises, especially, first, as viewed through the complementary thought processes of detective Lönnrot and Scharlach, presumably the perpetrator of four homicides, and, second, in view of Charles S. Peirce's concept of sign processes. Bringing one of Zeno's paradoxes into the picture, along with allusions to other Borges images and characters – Funes the Memorious, the Aleph, the Zahir – we are left with a wedding between time, space and number, which continue to confound our best thinkers, even today.

Best hotel for charter fishing in Cabo San Lucas.
July 9, 2014
Group Traveler
Really bad in service and a lot of hidden fees ones there bad food and over all the worst hotel I have stayed considering my job consistently has me in a hotel twice a month at least...I will never stay there again.
July 3, 2014
The hotel is very clean, rooms are nice. Air conditioning is preset so can't turn thermostat cooler. Set around 76, so it isn't real cool at night. We thought it was broken our first night there, had maintenance come check, but was the same next night. I asked other guest and everyone said their rooms weren't cold enough either. Charge for wi-fi. We had breakfast included with room, was very good. Staff in all departments were very friendly, always asking if we needed anything when they saw us. Hotel is on marina with shops all along boardwalk, easy access to fishing charters. The restaurants/bars are nice with open air seating. Captain Tony's is a MUST, overall they were the BEST!!! Ask for Pato, excellent server with great personality. We will be going back soon, but may not stay here because of pool location. Otherwise, yes very nice place and good location. ...

At 56 years of age Mita Pantić is still only a junior clerk in his company. Another typical workday for him is starting at 6 a.m. as frustration awaits at every turn from the moment he gets up. Trying to get ready to go to work, he can barely get a turn to use the bathroom in the crowded apartment. Other members of the household are not without their frustrations either, meaning that nagging and shouting are a staple of their home life at any time of day.

"I wanted a Hob with a Wok burner to the side rather than in the middle. Wok burners in the middle hamper the use of the other rings when using a wok. Hob looks good in black glass. It is very efficient and the build quality looks to be good. The burner supports come off to enable cleaning. The control knobs are tall and fairly close together so cleaning between them is a bit of a fiddle. It would have been better to have the low output simmer ring at the back rather than at the front of the hob. If you are simmering something for a long time and cooking something else your have to reach over the pan on the simmer ring. Otherwise it is great to use. Anyone buying this should also buy an e cloth, but it is easier than stainless to keep clean clean."

It looks great, cleans easily and above all cooks very nicely indeed. The cast iron supports are extremely sturdy but thanks to clever design stay right where they're supposed to be.

With either a flush fitting, or as a surface mounted piece the Bosch Exxcel PPS816M91E looks just as charismatically appealing in either setting. The tempered hard glass base turns a few heads with its midnight black design, not to mention the unique design of the cast iron pan supports. These keep your hob markless and your dinner guests speechless with envy.
The 5 gas burners are well spaced, so no more cramming in the pans looking for space, and include a dedicated wok burner to really add some spice to your Saturday night. It also has 2 medium sized burners, a rapid burner and a smaller simmer burner. With this much variety you can't help but take advantage of the precision and responsive power of gas cooking.
Just in case that wasn't precise enough for you there is also a main quick stop switch located at the front of the hob that will extinguish the gas flow immediately. Now it doesn't get much more precise than that.

A Different Hillary Clinton This Time
As she prepares for her presidential bid, Hillary Clinton intends to serve up a different campaign message than last time:
But rather than the assertive feminism associated with her years as first lady, Mrs. Clinton's campaign message will be subtler. It will involve frequent references to being a mother and grandmother and to how her family has inspired her to embrace policies that she believes would help middle-class families.
As one Democrat close to her put it, voters have learned that she is tough; now she can also present herself as a sensitive candidate capable of nurturing the nation at a difficult time.

A Black Feminist Critique of Arquette's Oscar Speech
Black women have a long history of advocating for fair wages and access to decent employment opportunities for African-American communities. In her recent remarks at the Academy Awards championing the fight against wage inequality, Patricia Arquette seemed wholly unaware of these histories, elaborating backstage that it was now time for all other groups to fight for white women, because they had fought for everybody else.
In 1920 or thereabouts, famed Washington, D.C., educator Nannie Helen Burroughs helped to found the National Association of Wage Earners as both an advocacy group and a training resource for working class black women. Addressing employment inequality and wage inequality for newly freed black women entering the workforce after Emancipation, and later for black women from the South who had migrated North, was a hallmark of black women's organizing in the late 19th century and the early 20th century. At the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, Fannie Barrier Williams, a socialite, club woman and budding political theorist told the crowd, "in the item of employment, colored women bear a distressing burden of mean and unreasonable discrimination." Still, she told them, "we believe this country is large enough and the opportunities for all kinds of success are great enough to afford our women a fair chance to earn a respectable living." In 1925, Gertrude Elise McDougald, an organizer and teacher in New York City, helped to found the Trade Union Committee for Organizing Negro Workers, in order to encourage African-American solidarity with labor and discourage strike-breaking as the pathway to work.

Equal Pay Bill in Massachusetts
The woman said she was about to hang up after a telephone interview when she realized the hiring managers on the other end had forgotten to disconnect the call. So the woman, who asked not to be identified because it could hurt her employment prospects, kept listening — and what she heard shocked her.
Her most recent salary was lower than the interviewers expected, which they assumed signaled a problem with her work. They didn't offer her the job.
A bill recently filed in the Massachusetts Legislature aims to address situations like this by prohibiting employers from seeking job candidates' salary histories. The bill also would require companies to disclose an advertised position's minimum pay and permit employees to discuss their salaries openly.
These practices would help reduce the gender wage gap by addressing the problem at the beginning, before a single job candidate is interviewed, the bill's sponsors say. Because women's earnings are historically lower than men's, revealing their salaries puts them at a disadvantage.
It allows employers, when hiring, to offer lower salaries than they might otherwise or, as the example of the woman shows, draw unfair conclusions about women candidates.

Gender Disparity in Prostitution Arrests
There is a huge gender disparity in the arrests related to prostitution. According to the Massachusetts State Police's data, of the 920 arrested on prostitution charges in 2014, 70 percent were women. According to the Seattle Attorney's Office, 199 women in Washington were prosecuted on prostitution charges, compared to 98 men. This, then, is no longer about the debate on whether or not prostitution should be legal but about the negative stigma that comes with being a female prostitute.
Prostitutes often do not willingly enter the occupation. According to the International Labor Organization, 20.9 million people are victims of human trafficking. Co-founder of the Organization for Prostitution Survivors (OPS) and former prostitute Noel Gomez told The Seattle Times that she was a prostitute for a long time and has "never met one woman in my life who wants to do the work they're doing. Not one." She herself was forced into prostitution as a teen and still feels troubled by the experience.
In late January, Washington Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles introduced a bill in Seattle that extended the maximum penalty of sex buying from 90 days to a year in jail. Today, sex buying is defined as "patronizing a prostitute," which is nothing more than a Class A misdemeanor. The goal of the bill is to decrease prostitution rates, as opposed to using resources to arrest prostitutes. This plan needs to be enacted because in the majority of the arrests, prostitutes are reportedly treated worse than their male patrons in a crime in which the latter is equally guilty.

Officekeeping, Double Standards, and the Beauty Myth of Work
Several articles about men and women being treated and perceived differently despite similar performances. Men have the golden halo effect of brilliance and higher appreciation and return on work, while women run twice as fast to get to the same place. If they can.
NYT, Madam CEO, Get Me a Coffee
This is the sad reality in workplaces around the world: Women help more but benefit less from it. In keeping with deeply held gender stereotypes, we expect men to be ambitious and results-oriented, and women to be nurturing and communal. When a man offers to help, we shower him with praise and rewards. But when a woman helps, we feel less indebted. She's communal, right? She wants to be a team player. The reverse is also true. When a woman declines to help a colleague, people like her less and her career suffers. But when a man says no, he faces no backlash. A man who doesn't help is "busy"; a woman is "selfish."
In a study led by the New York University psychologist Madeline Heilman, participants evaluated the performance of a male or female employee who did or did not stay late to help colleagues prepare for an important meeting. For staying late and helping, a man was rated 14 percent more favorably than a woman. When both declined, a woman was rated 12 percent lower than a man. Over and over, after giving identical help, a man was significantly more likely to be recommended for promotions, important projects, raises and bonuses. A woman had to help just to get the same rating as a man who didn't help.
Is the Professor Bossy or Brilliant? Much Depends on Gender
Male professors are brilliant, awesome and knowledgeable. Women are bossy and annoying, and beautiful or ugly.
These are a few of the results from a new interactive chart that was gaining notice on social media Friday. Benjamin Schmidt, a Northeastern University history professor, says he built the chart using data from 14 million student reviews on theRate My Professors site. It allows you to search for any word to see how often it appeared in reviews and how it broke down by gender and department.
The chart makes vivid unconscious biases. The implications go well beyond professors and college students, to anyone who gives or receives feedback or performance reviews.
It suggests that people tend to think more highly of men than women in professional settings, praise men for the same things they criticize women for, and are more likely to focus on a woman's appearance or personality and on a man's skills and intelligence.

Study Says Colleges Do Investigate Most Sexual Assault Cases
Colleges Investigate Most Sex Assault Cases, Study Says
Colleges are investigating the majority of reported cases of sexual assault and are finding less than half of accused students responsible, according to a report released Tuesday by United Educators, a risk management and insurance firm. The study examined 305 reported cases of sexual assault at 104 institutions between 2011 and 2014.
About three-quarters of those cases were investigated, according to the report, and the accused students were found responsible in 45 percent of them. One-quarter of the cases resulted in the accused students not being found responsible, and in 7 percent of the cases, the accused students withdrew before the adjudication process was complete.
Of the 23 percent of cases that were never investigated by a college or university, 20 percent of the claims involved students who were unable to identify who had assaulted them. Another 23 percent involved victims who were "uncooperative" and chose not to pursue an investigation. More than 40 percent of the cases that were investigated ended in the accused student's expulsion, the report said, and 25 percent ended in suspensions of more than a year. Disciplinary probation and training accounted for about 9 percent of the sanctions.

Fathers as caregivers
....there are two problems with what President Obama said about paid parental leave in his State of the Union: First, he called it "maternity leave." And, second, that statement quoted above is all he said.
In the press release from last week, "parental leave" was the chosen phrase. Critically, it was gender-neutral. As President Obama said tonight, "it's time we stop treating childcare as a side issue, or a women's issue." And as the CAP report points out, parental leave isn't a women's issue either, "men increasingly want to be caregivers." It also clarifies, "As family demographics shift, parents of young children are not the only types of workers with significant caregiving responsibilities." Specifically, the report is referring to the realities of "care for elders" and "same-sex families," where maternity leave would not apply even if it were guaranteed.
And President Obama should have said more. He could have brought up that men do increasingly want to be caregivers, that paid parental leave should be given equally to men and women, that paid parental leave could have important economic benefits, like reducing employee turn over when men and women seek to change jobs to have children, that paid parental leave isn't something that only elite workers have earned.
President Obama's announcement last week may have been a wonderful surprise to federal workers and their families, and even to Americans everywhere eager to see universal paid parental leave become a reality. But the announcement set high expectations for what else President Obama could have said on the topic tonight. A one-liner about "maternity leave," left us all hanging.

The US Once had Universal Child Care?
NPR, U.S. Once Had Universal Child Care
How did that happen? It started during the Great Depression as "a source of 'fiscal stimulus,' if you will," says Arizona State University's Chris Herbst, an associate professor in the school of public affairs.
The Works Project Administration first ran the day cares. The idea was to employ teachers and to also watch kids so that their unemployed parents could look for jobs. When women replaced deployed soldiers in the domestic workforce during World War II, the government funded a major expansion.
That all ended with the war, and though in the early 1970s Congress approved a similar program, Herbst says aides convinced President Nixon to veto it.

America's Family-Leave Disgrace
From the New Yorker: America's Family-Leave Disgrace
What do Papua New Guinea, Oman, and the United States of America have in common? They are the only three countries in the world with no paid-maternity-leave law. When you point out the deficiencies of the United States in this regard, somebody often replies, "This isn't Scandinavia; we can't impose cuddly capitalism"—the M.I.T. economist Daron Acemoglu's phrase—"and still enjoy economic growth." Granted, we're not Sweden, but neither are we Romania, Uganda, Bolivia, or any of the hundred and eighty-five other countries that, according to a 2014 report from the U.N.'s Institute of Labor, provide their citizens with paid leave to care for a new child. Ninety-eight of those countries offer paid leave for fourteen weeks or more. In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Barack Obama vowed to make family leave and sick days a priority in the final two years of his Presidency. He has work to do. In the United States, where all sorts of powers are commonly attributed to the private sector, many people might imagine that employers take up the slack. But the majority of U.S. employers do not offer paid family leave, for the simple reason that they don't have to.

Flex Time Key to Retaining Women to Firm Partner
ABA J, At Several DC Firms, More Women Than Men Promoted to Partner
Though women lawyers are outnumbered by males in partnerships at large law firms, they made strides at several law firms in Washington, D.C., in recent promotions.
Out of 35 law firms that announced the promotions of partners since October, 14 promoted as many or more females than men in Washington, D.C., theNational Law Journal (sub. req.) reports. In many cases, the proportion of women promoted to partner was greater in a law firm's D.C. offices than in other locations.
Arent Fox promoted four lawyers nationally and all were women, the story says. Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld promoted five lawyers to partner in Washington, D.C., and four were women.
Leaders of Arent Fox and Akin Gump told the National Law Journal that flexible work schedules help the firms retain and promote women. At Akin Gump, three of the four women lawyers promoted in D.C. have worked reduced hours and will continue to do so as partners.

Majority of Young People Prefer Egalitarian Relationships
Majority of Young Women and Men Prefer Egalitarian Relationships,Study Shows
The majority of young women and men today would prefer an egalitarian relationship in which work and family responsibilities are shared equally between partners if that possibility were available to them, according to a new study from the University of Texas at Austin and the University of California-Santa Barbara.
The study finds that when the option is made available to them, the majority of respondents -- regardless of gender or education level -- opt for a relationship in which they would share earning and household/caregiving responsibilities equally with their partner. Additionally, the study finds that if workplace policies that support work-family balance, such as subsidized child care, are in place, women are even more likely to prefer an egalitarian relationship and much less likely to want to be the primary homemaker or caregiver.

Will some future cohort of progressive-minded men cooking chili with grass-fed ground beef in their NFL-themed Crock-Pots one day fulfill the promise of decades of kitchen appliances and help ensure a better balance of housework at home? Based on past experience, it seems misguided to place too much faith in any technology for achieving equality between the genders. Strasser, the historian, suggested that family-friendly public policies, like family leave or subsidized child care, might be more fruitful.

Law Firms Still Men's Clubs at the Top
Law Firms Failing to Meet Client Demands for Gender-Diverse Teams
Men's club mentality keeping women out of partnerships, Managing Partner roundtable finds
Large law firms need to radically change their cultures and working practices if they are to succeed in creating gender-diverse partnerships.
That's the view that emerged at a Managing Partner roundtable, which considered why many firms are still failing to develop gender-balanced partnerships and senior management teams.
"I don't know that we'll ever be able to get to 50 per cent diversity until the business of law as practiced by large law firms today changes," said Gina N Shishima, US head of IP transactions and patent prosecutions, and US chief diversity officer at Norton Rose Fulbright.
Women typically constitute more than half of the trainees and associates, but make up less than 20 per cent of the partners at international firms and about a quarter of the partners at London, regional and national firms, on average.
At equity partner level, female representation is even lower, ranging from 15 to 17 per centamong the UK's top 25 firms, fractionally up from the 14 to 15 per cent recorded in 2008, according to PwC data.
"Based on data alone, women should have achieved nearly 50 per cent parity as partners at the turn of the century," commented Lauren Stiller Rikleen, president of the Rikleen Institute for Strategic Leadership and executive-in-residence at the Boston College Center for Work & Family.
Law firm culture and unconscious bias play important parts in keeping women out of partnerships and senior management teams, according to panelists.

Obama to Give Federal Employees Paid Maternity Leave
USA Today, Obama to Propose Paid Sick Leave for American Workers
WASHINGTON -- President Obama will call on Congress to require companies to give workers up to seven days of paid sick leave a year, a senior adviser said Wednesday.
Obama will also take executive action to give at least six weeks of paid leave to federal employees after the birth or adoption of a child, Senior White House Adviser Valerie Jarrett said.
And Obama wants Congress to spend $2.2 billion to help states and cities develop paid family leave programs.
Jarrett announced the new initiatives in a post on the job networking site LinkedIn -- a venue chosen, she said, because its audience was best positioned to drive change in their own workplaces.
From Jarrett's announcement:
So on Thursday, President Obama will call on Congress to pass the Healthy Families Act, which would allow millions of working Americans to earn up to seven days a year of paid sick time — and call on states and cities to pass similar laws. The President will outline a new plan to help states create paid leave programs, and provide new funding through the Department of Labor for feasibility studies that will help other states and municipalities figure out the best way to implement programs of their own. And the President will sign a Presidential Memorandum that will ensure federal employees have access to at least 6 weeks of paid sick leave when a new child arrives and propose that Congress offer 6 weeks of paid administrative leave as well.

The Anti-feminist Origins of "Having it All"
NYT, The Complicated Origins of Having it All
The popular thinking is that the term went from empowering to delusional, running up against the hard truths of reality to get worn down to the spurious fantasy underneath. Feminists, according to this narrative, were the ones who promised women they could have it all — rewarding career, loving partner, cheerful brood — and then couldn't deliver. Conservatives have been particularly enamored of this story. "Feminist groups like to pretend that women can have it all without sacrificing time with families," Carrie L. Lukas, a managing director of the Independent Women's Forum, wrote in her 2006 book about feminism. The Federalist peddled a similar argument: "Women ask about having it all because they were told they could have it all . . . by women like [Gloria] Steinem."
The idea that feminism was the source for such a pernicious ideal has become so widely assumed that even Patricia Ireland, a former president of the National Organization for Women, seemed to subscribe to a variation of this notion. "Twenty years ago, it was a triumphant phrase and also a demand," she told William Safire in 2001 for a column in this magazine, but "the phrase has come to carry with it a sense of being overwhelmed." Hence the sad fate of the Career Bogeywoman, her soul sucked dry by her high-powered job, her children barely nourished by the dregs of maternal instinct that managed to survive her outsize ambition.
Once you start digging into the origins of the phrase, however, this narrative begins to unravel. "Having it all," at least as it applies to women and work, has a relatively limited pedigree. Ruth Rosen, a scholar who has written extensively about the history of feminism, told me that you can't find much archival evidence of the phrase before the tail end of the 1970s — and even then, it wasn't so much a feminist mantra as a marketing pitch directed toward the well-heeled "liberated" consumer. In 1980, two years before Brown's book, Joyce Gabriel and Bettye Baldwin published "Having It All: A Practical Guide to Managing a Home and a Career"; true to its promise, Gabriel and Baldwin's book offers straightforward tips on how a working mother might make the most of her scarce time. ("Strive to do two things at once," the authors advise, like letting your nail polish set while you blow-dry your hair.) Women's magazines and Madison Avenue might have been selling the concept, but it was after Brown's book landed on the best-seller list, Rosen says, that the phrase gathered real cultural momentum, becoming shorthand for having kids and a career.

The Call for Gender Pay Gap Transparency
What is afoot in Britain might provide lessons for the States:
Labour has called for widespread pay transparency across Britain, proposing legislation that would make it compulsory for big companies to publish the average difference between the pay of their male and female employees.
Sarah Champion, Labour MP for Rotherham, tabled a 10-minute rule bill to enact section 78 of the Equality Act (2010), which was introduced by Labour but abandoned by the coalition when it entered government. The section requires companies that employ more than 250 people to publish their gender pay gap figures.
The bill was backed by 258 MPs, with eight voting against, but it is unlikely to progress further before the general election without government backing. It isLiberal Democrat policy to enact section 78 of the Equality Act and Lib Dem MPs were given a free vote on the issue.

Two Recent Articles
Two interesting recent articles from the NYT. One is about the status of LGBT folk in Cuba. An excerpt:
Mariela Castro, the daughter of the current president, Raúl Castro, has led the charge on legislative and societal changes [for LGBT rights] that have given rise to an increasingly visible and empowered community. In the process, she has carved out a rare space for civil society in an authoritarian country where grass-roots movements rarely succeed. Some Western diplomats in Havana have seen the progress on gay rights as a potential blueprint for expansion of other personal freedoms in one of the most oppressed societies on earth.
"It's fine to criticize, but you also have to acknowledge that they've done good," said John Petter Opdahl, Norway's ambassador to Cuba, in a recent interview. Mr. Opdahl, who is gay, said his government gave Ms. Castro's organization $230,000 over the last two years. "She has taken off a lot of the stigma for most people in the country, and she has made life so much better for so many gay people, not only in Havana but in the provinces."
Another article revisits the Stanford undergraudates from the class of 1994.

"Why U.S. Women Are Leaving Jobs Behind"
Since Kerry Devine, 32, and her friends began having children, she has noticed a stark difference between her female friends in Auburn, Wash., where she lives, and those in England and Cyprus, where she grew up. In the United States, they almost all stopped working outside the home, at least until their children were in school. Yet, she says, she can't think of a friend in Europe who left work after her children were born.
Ms. Devine quit her job after she had her first child, a girl, four years ago, because she thought 12 weeks of maternity leave was too short. "I just didn't want to leave her in day care or pay for the expenses of it," she said. When she gave birth to twin boys this year, a return to work — she had been a property manager for apartment buildings — looked even less plausible.
Her story would have played out differently, she said, if she had been living in her native England. Like many European countries, Britain offers a year of maternity leave, much of it paid, and protections for part-time workers, among other policies aimed at keeping women employed.

NY Judge in Trouble over Sexual Harassment Charges
A randy Brooklyn judge turned the hallowed halls of justice into a seedy sleaze pit — sexually harassing his Orthodox Jewish secretary with lurid tales about his erotic adventures with a mistress, proudly striding shirtless around his chambers, and forcing her to pick up his soiled underwear, a new lawsuit charges.
Brooklyn civil court Judge David Schmidt, 61, tormented veteran court secretary Sharon Sabbagh, 57, by stroking her face, forcing her to give him hugs before she went home, and regaling her with explicit tales of sex with his mistress, the lawsuit alleges.
"When I have sex with my wife, I think of her," Schmidt said, adding that he buys his fling underwear from Victoria's Secret and that they have daily phone sex, the Brooklyn Supreme Court suit claims.

VIEWS: 8 PAGES: 2 POSTED ON: 2/5/2012 Public Domain
Questions from the Classification Study and Position Description Orientation Sessions – Classification Process and Salary Structure Q. How will positions be classified? A. The factors of the job evaluation system are used to develop the class specifications (which will be located on the OHR website) and the class specification will distinguish the various job classes at the college. All positions will be evaluated based on these class specifications. Q. What are the compensable factors used in the new classification system A. The factors are: Job complexity (weight 30%); Education and Experience (weight 15%); Scope and Impact (weight 25%); Supervision Received (weight 10%); Work Relations (weight 15%); Work Environment (weight 3%); and Physical Demands (weight 2%). Q. Can the weight given to each job evaluation factor be altered? A. No. The weights as set so that all positions can be evaluated on the same criteria. Q. Will workload be a consideration? A. Only if the workload translates to greater complexity. Workload is often a function of staffing and systems. However, sometimes, addition workload does make a job more complex. Q. I am concerned that there are discrepancies in pay for the same job from campus to campus. The notion is "Rockville is bigger" and should be in a higher graded position. A. This issue is similar to the issue of workload. A position assigned to a particular campus will not be classified at a different level because of the campus size. Positions will be evaluated on a set of compensable factors and positions performing the same duties will be placed in the same grade. If the size of a work unit impacts one of these factors, it could affect the grade. But in most cases, this will not be true because staffing will address most of the issues of unit/campus size. Q. How will the grade levels be established? A. The grade levels will be based on the needs of the organization and data collected from the compensation survey of employers. The survey consist of 100 jobs that can be readily found in the labor market and it was sent to public sector organizations in Montgomery County (County Government, MCPS, federal agencies), large community colleges in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York, the University of Maryland, to name a few. Q. Will the grading system change from letters to numbers? A. We don't know. One of the reasons the College changed the grades from number to letters in 1994 was because the computer system which we use to maintains data on the classification system limited the number of characters in grade field to one. Q. Will employees get to review the class specifications prior to them being finalized? A. The short answer is "no." The class specification is a living document as is the position description. We will develop the class specification from information contained in the position descriptions and will place these on the OHR website for viewing. If the class specifications do not reflect the duties and responsibilities accurately, we will work with employees to make modifications during the period between the approval of the recommended changes and September 30, 2009. Q. What is the percentage of upgrades expected? A. This is an unknown. Since the new system has different factors and weights, we don't know how many positions will be upgraded, downgraded or remain the same. Q. Will some positions be downgraded? Will there be some employees who will see a pay decrease? A. Positions may be placed at a lower grade level but the incumbent will be "grandfathered" at his/her current grade level. No money will be taken away and the incumbent will continue to receive pay increases. Once the position becomes vacant, we will review the duties and responsibilities again and will lower the grade if it is warranted. Q. Will pay equity be address across positions/jobs traditionally held by men versus women? For example, engineers are basically men, but we do have female engineers today. A. It is illegal to pay individuals performing the same functions differently because of gender, and there should be no instances at the college where this occurs. Federal law allows salaries to be different because of an employee's experience and for job-related reasons, but differences in pay cannot be made on the basis of gender. The classification system does address pay disparities across job class but not within a job class. Positions are classified based on the duties and responsibilities of the position: It's not about "person" but the job done. We will look at the positions in terms of what is done and not on the person holding the position. Jobs will be evaluated and positions matched to jobs. If an employee—or his/her supervisor— believes his/her pay is not appropriate based on a comparison with his/her peers, the employee and his/her supervisor need to inform OHR so that we can determine what action the college should take to address the situation.

This is what i've got as the function arguments:

2004 BMW X3 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 17 reviews
A "high-level tripster" that "bucked the worst" weather were among the accolades from car reviewers for BMW's debut version of the X3. Built as an entry-level version alternative to BMW's popular X5 line of SUV's, the X3 was an immediate hit, despite some flaws.
Drivers caution new buyers to stay away from a $1,500 sports package - the stubby-sidewall tires included in the package actually create a rougher ride than the standard configurations. Drivers were also a bit disappointed with the X3's shifting, which is normally an unparalleled point of pride for BMW owners and designers.
